Wo cotifotsit that we have Kmjr been iiinonjTAt lho.se who inclined to the bcliil that " thero wo* no linpo Tor mankind on thin nitlo of tlio yruyc."? That destiny ?'f (lie nuiwos was toil, toil, from morning till nMil?from week's end to wwli s cnJ?without, it may faitlv ho said, a iiioiucnt't) cessation, ('Wi'i'l tin: brief |'oriod absolutely noessary to imbibe the hod required to keep tlic hithostile to theiiilert >ts of tho working ciusscK,* and utterly ignoiuut of their own. Wo boast of our Hbhoronee <?f iit'^ro slavery ; wo romance, wo moralize, and wo actually weep over tin- talesof Al'rirail stlHeriiif;, but we cannot a I ford a passing thought for the millions of white slave*, who eonmituto the masses of our laboring population. What are these in reality but mere animated machined??employed only because it has not been ]iossihlc iib yet to discover oilier* to tui|>or*odc them. As their employment h:us been the result of necessity, nuil not of eboice, theifreut object of the employer has been to tax the physical oiidurunee of the employed to its lit most limits, and re uiico ui?- iini'ui iciiiiiiieriiuon 10 mo lowest innil>1111111. Unfortunately, the fierce competition of trade, anil t he unusually overcrowded state of the labor-market, combined to render this state of things apparently inevitable. Strikes we lui vo l?ad in abundance?combination* of workmen against master*, and muster* against workmen?tin- results generally being ruincKis to the mass, mid far from profitable to the few while a spirit of hi-stility was displayed on both sides injurious alike to all. Fortunately, serious strikes have recently been of riuvr occurrence than formerly ; and when they have occurcd, the same bitterness of feeling has not been exhibited on either side, as was formerly the case. Many masters have discovered that in order to secure the willing services of their operatives, it became their own interest to extend many indulgencies which had forinetly been denied them: nud all experience has shown the results to have been not only agreeable hut profitable. 'I'll.. 1 till 1:1 III!iri im?.t iiim-silr/mi* I.... 1~. iug lilt? hard fate of the sons of lalior, has ever admitted ihsit nature never de.stim.-il tliettt to an eternity of lull?that they were entitled to partake of at least some of the bounties of creation ; to inhale occasionally tho free sind refreshing breezes of Heaven, t<> cool their heated brow ; to tread the green sward; to listen to tho sengsters of the grove, or enjoy their evening stroll by the banks of some purling brook, or oilierwise to taste some of the many charms of nature hitherto denied iheni ; but then there ''was 110 time tu spare for such purposes." The struggle for life demanded that every hour of their existence should be spent in the vitiated atmosphere of the factory or workshop, or in partaking of that rest necessary to enable them to perform their daily round of toil; and bonce, although the hardship of their file was deplored, and its injustice admitted, it was pronounced to be their fate, and beyond the reach of a rational remedy. It appears that the ivhito slave's destiny was the result of an absolute decree of Providence?an evil beyond the reach of human amelioration.? We have already said thai, to a certain extent, wo inherited this belief. A ray of hope lists, however, broken in upon us. We It.ive juat risen from si perusal of the proceedings of the Liverpool Recreative Company, sit their meeting held on Monday night sit the Concert Jlsill. A Recreative Company : What is the meaning of that ? we think we hear lunst of our readers exclaim. Who ever heard of sueli a thing > say the Tom mj ^uuuiv: iiuu mc ouiry v??;uij?s. mil, lU'Vi'l'theless, tlx; tiling is tlu-re, ami it. will, in the hands which have iLs direction, ultimately pi'ovc a great fact, otherwise wc arc mistaken. The speakers on the occasion were, ."Messrs. J. 11. JellVry, Chairman; W. Kathhone, Kcv. S. A- Steinlhall, Mr. Samiiclsou, Kev. II. S. Urown, I\Ir. Thomas, .Mr. 1'. II. Kuilibonc, tVc., ?fcc.? Tlie speeches were all good, bat Mr. Jellery's wns, indeed, a 111:1: ter piece. It was alike eloquent, argumentative and conclusive. With such advocates the working classes Iiavo 110 need to fear. Mr. J cilery's .sentiments do honor alike to the head and heart of the man who yuvc utter* mice to them, and they will liud a rcsuoiiso in I the miixl ol' every well-wisher of llio working num. Mr. Jed'ery's speech lias not only dune iniiuite cre'lil to himself, as a philanthropist and a moral philosopher, but it li.u; conferred a dignity oil the order to which ho belongs. Here we have no clap-trap oratory?no appeals to the passions, prejudices or fanaticism of class?110 electioneering perorations uhont the "proud boast of Knglihlmien"?"the llag that braved a thousand years,'' &c., or ' liritous never shall ho slaves"? phrases resorted to Ijy our popularity-hunters, to secure " one cheer more," or another round of the Kentish fire from their ignorant and deluded dupes. Mr. J<-lfery tells the working men that they arc in reality slaves, and he points out. a rational mode of obtaining national liberty, if they will only prove true to themselves. Our own experience?and it has been considerable?confirms us in hid statement, that the moie leisure in reason you ailbrd the working classes, the more will you wean them from habits of inteniporuuec. But it is a libel ou the character of a large majority of the British workmen to nay that they are drunkards. Of late years the amelioration in their condition has been considerable, and their habits have improved amaziuclv. in many large establishments n drunk art] in even shunned by liis fellow workmen, when formerly I a tce-tollcr would liavc been pointed at with the finger of scorn. Wc do not Attribute this vast iinj>rovement merely to the agency of temperance principled. It is more the result of that steady progress wliieh the working man has recently been making in his material position. Take tho majority of men iu harragau whom you may cliancc to meet, even over their pint of beer, and you will find that drunkenness is tho exception uot the rule. Listen to their conversation, and you will find that tliev read, and nrc capable of - commenting with much shrewdness and ititelli~P>vtr~~ '?n .the events of the day?that profane language is rhtfeij <f-i?tacd in?while, iu treating on details connected with their business, they display a capacity und intelliireneA n?t. o , ?vo^u by 'their superiors. All these men most require to develop their good qualities to the fullest extern is, more leisure and rationul recreation. The Liverpool llecrcativo Company promise to provide tliesu, nml in their cll'orts to do bo we with them "Godspeed!" The jwrusal of their proceedings has led us to tho conclusion that, after all, there is some hope for mankind. A Visit to Arlington.?A correspondent of the Journal of Commcrcc has described a visit to Arlington, the residence of the venerable Geo. Washington I*arke Custis, the survivor of the immediate household of Washington: "I found him alone in his studio, where I ntn told, lie spends most of his time. On the easel lay ^picture of the battle of Trenton?one of his own representations of a scene witnessed by his own eye.

TROUBLES IN INDIA. By recent foreign news, we learn that the British itre having moro trouble in their East India possessions, and from an insurrection suffered a loss of thirty thousand men, regulars and natives.

Nover, "since time whereof lite memory of man ruqiteth not to tlie contrary," lion there been a better prospect for an abundant Corn crop than at present. The rceout rains, however, have induced the fears of some of our citizens for lite Corn on bottom lands, but we find a majority of our pi.inters think that this crop has suffered none thus far from too much rain, not $veu the low ground. The opinion is nuifa ???. alent among us now lliut Corn will not bring this full moro than fifty, and somo think as low us forty cents per btiftel.

It. first struck itmoiig the orchard:) of Mr. Jacques ami Mr.1. Kittredge, doing considerable damage. Willi increased force it then struok upon the farm of Mr. Moicy, totally destroying a field of ryo and uprooting all his apple trees.? At this place a iislieruiati, resident of Lynn, yho was on his return from Imjwell, supposing tlmt a shower was approaching, drove under a tree for shelter. The tornado struck the team, taking both horse and wagon into the air, landing the liol'bo in a ditch by the Hide of the road, throwing the man across the road and breaking the wagon into fragment*. tSomo portions of tlie wagon were afterwards found nearly a mile from tiie spot, sticking up in the ground. Tho oeitpant of the wagon was thrown across the road, the tree under which ho sheltered being blown down upon him, by which he wus seriously but not fatally bruised. It next swept through the orchard of Oliver Carter, doing great damage, and then crossing the hill made a clean path inrougii nn oak grove. Olio of those oaks was afterwards found in a duck pond a quarter of a mile distant. The larger portion of the orchard of Mr. Caleb Livingston was demolished. It then crossed the farm of Mr. Samuel Thompson, tearing down his feiiees and destroying his corn-Iield, orchard, ctc. It next, struck the house and barn of Mr. Jno. Clarlc. The bam was completely demolished, and the roof and the back part of the house carried away.? There were nine persons in the bouse at the time, but. they were fortunately in the lower looms, and all thus escaped injury. The houseless family wore afterwards cared for by the inhabitants. The toriiadu then crossed the river and louk oil' the comer of the bain of Mr. Ilcjamiit 13urt, destroying the sheds between the house and barn.-. At this place the force of tin: wind was such thrtt an ox-team was taken from tho ground and broken into pices. Of olio wheel not a spoke was left.

As it passed the railroad track a spiked plank at a crossing was torn up and carried a considerable distance*. Of course, the inhabitants were in a slalo of great alarm at this unusual visitation. It is entirely owing to the fact that its path was through the valley that there was not more more serious injury, nearly all the houses being l-'Cuted upon the elevated ground. Some state tli.it the liivt they noticed of the matter was the branches and oveii whole trees wheeling in the air. Others imagined it to Ik- a Ore in the air-? One family, under this supposition! threw u )>ail , of water upon the lire in the cooking bIovo and tied to the cellar for safety. One trco of considerable size was seen in the air at an estimated height of eighty feet, and the trunk of a largo tree which was uprooted has not yelWen found.

Linton, it seems, was of such remarkably feminine appearance thai lus friends easily persuaded Lipsconih thai lie was a female in disguise, and Ro enamored did ho becoino of Linton as to ask and receive a promise of marriage, which of course, the latter was unubln lo fulfill. Ihit on attempting to explain why he could nut "come to tiino"lhc fond "lover" wouldn't helieve a word of it? and lull in belief that his enamorata was a woman, and nothing shorterhe sued for breach of promise. The case created 110 little excitement in .Richmond.
