Death of Robert Owen.—The steam
ship Europa brings intelligence to New
York, of the death of the celebrated Rob
ert Owen, in his 83th year. Mr. Owen’s
name was identified with sundry refor
matory movements. lie proposed to re
construct society, projected a variety ol
measures for the elevation of mankind,
and labored diligently in his vocation of
philanthropist. lie was born in Wales in
1771, made bis mark as a bright scholar
in his native town at the early age of
nine years, went from school into a grocery
j shop, and at the age of fourteen went to
London. When eighteen years old he
became a partner in a cotton factory, into
which Arkwright’s machinery had just
been introduced; afterwards established
.1 /II ...I_ ]\/T;iL, INfonnlmotor on/1
I lliv Vimi uuu *'*•■■“»**. ..
' after conducting that concern for some
years, undertook the famous speculation at
New Lanark, in Scotland, where he and
his partners had the management of mills
and a farm of one hundred and fifty acres,
and a population of two thousand persons.
Mr. Owen was at the head of this enter
prise for a quarter of a century, expended
great sums of money, was visited by prin
ces, clergy, and the curious from all coun
tries, wrote elaborate treatises on the bene
fits of a governmeut like that of New
Lanark, which did away with punishment
and the terrors of the penal law, and dili
gently disseminated his peculiar doctrines.
In 1S28. he essayed to introduce hi* theo
ry of government into Mexico, hut was
| unsuccessful. He afterwards attempted t,
! esiablish a 11 New Moral Community,'
L which faded *, started a 11 Labor Kxchangt
- Bazaar,” which also met a sudden end
’ and in 18-57, urged his claims to a seat ir
i Parliament, in which eflort he likewise
■ failed. Mr. Owen made several visits tc
' the United Slates, the last ol them having
11 occurred some ten years ago. While liert
. he received marked attention from ihf
; social reformers, and omitted no oppor
I utility to bring his theories before the pub
1 llC
Mr. Owen was very enthusiastic in his
v devotion to schemes of social re-organi
r zation ; was an avowed free-thinker; hat
e a faculty of fixing the attention of hi;
hearers when he spoke; wrote with fa
- cility; was a man of inpressive presence
* and had many warm admirers. His son
* Hon. Robert Dale Owen, was formerly;
, member of Congress from an Indium
a District, and was appointed United State
e Minister to Naples by President Pierce
II in which post he has recently been super
’ ceeded by Mr. Chandler.—[New Yorl
