At the close of the afternoon discourse , four children were baptised—one receiving the name of John Frost , and another that of Feargus O'Connor .

John Henderson in the chair After having stated the object of the meeting , which was to consider the propriety of supporting the Demonstration which will shortly take place in Skrhoss . —On Sunday , Mr . W . Walker preached

      Glasgow , and to congratulate Messrs . Collins , Lovett , and M'Douall , on their release from prison —to give the true patriots a hearty welcome to the "land or cakes , " and to Bhow to the tyrants of the land that the men of Scotland are determined to stand by the principles of the Charter , and to stand or fall with the men who have suffered so much for advocating the rights of the people , he concluded by introducing Mr . M'Queen , the Ayrshire poet , who was received with loud cheers . He delivered an excellent historical address of more than an hour in length , and concluded by moving— That this meeting most truly and sincerely feel for , and sympathise with all who have suffered , or are now Ruffering for advocating ihe people cause ; that we heartily congratulate Messrs . Collins , Lovett , and M'Douall , on their release from prison , admire them for their stern integrity , and close adherence to sound principles , and thut we shall aid and assist , to the utmost of our

      power , the Committee in Glasgow , in the arrangements necessary for the Demonstration which shall t&fce place in Glasgow on the arrival of these brave men . " Mr .

"' It is expected that a public meeting will be held here next wetk , for tho purpose of considering the propriety of building a public hall by subscriDtion .

      CA ^ YltiACHIE . —This district is now exhibiting exhilirating symptoms of revivalism in connection with the Chartist agitation , at once pleasing and cheering . On Saturday evening last , an excellent muster of tho inhabitants took place in the village echool room , to hear an address from Mr . R . Malcolm , Jan ., of Glasgow , and to adopt measures for taking part in the coming Demonstration ; also to form a district of tbe Lanarkshire Universal Suffrage Association . A large and influential committee , in connection with the Lanarkshire Association , was appointed : also a committee to manage the Demonstration proceedings .

      GORBALS . —We are glad to peroeive that this district , which , for a short time past , has not exhibited a more than ordinary activity in connection wuh the movement for tbe Charter , Las now fairly revived , and is likely to surpass all its former displays . Although the committee , in this quarter , have not , of late , taken means to bring their proceedings -so prominently before the public as they were wont to do , their exertions , nevertheless , have not been less vigorous , or less effective . A Chartist Co-operative Provision Store , on the best principles , will be opened immediately on the Surrey side . But this is only a small part of the laborious yet interesting description of bnsiness which has engaged the attention of our Gorbals friends , to tbe exclusion of

      other matters of general interest . Besides this , several committees have been organised for the more extensive furtherance of the principles of Radicalism in the district—and altogether it may be said the prospect of affairs in Gorbals is of a very flattering description . Several influential Chartists in this quarter are on the look out for one of tho largest churohes in the Barony , two or three of which , we believe , will soon be to let or sell , for the holding of public worship on Sundays . The subject of a Chartist Working Man ' s Exchange has also undergone serious consideration . Several plots of ground have already been examined , and other estimates taken for the building . This is as it should be , and we trust will have the effect of stirring up our friends in the city to renewed exertion .

      XiONDON . —At a meeting of the members of the East London Democratic Association , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : —Proposed by J . Pickersgiil , t-ecoDded by W . Wilkins , "That the sum of ten shillings be voted from the funds of this Association , for the wives aud families of the imprisoned Chartists . " stTNDEHXAND . —A public meeting was held in the Co-operative Hall , Lambton-street , on Friday evening week , to elect two delegates to the delegate rae ting , which waa held on Tuesday last , jmd also to nominate the individuals thought suitable for the

      Town Council . A list of those nominated is to be laid before each class by the leader , and each individnal composing that clae 3 to give in a ballot-paper of nine persons , whom he wishes to be appointed . A meeting was fixed k ) be held on Thursday evening last , when tho election will be declared and the report of tbe delegates submitted to the metting . A resolution was put to the meeting , and carried unanimous ])' , that ihe appointment of a missionary , the total abstinence plan , the connexion of benefit societies with Chartism , and the formation of ^ Youth ' s Cliarust Societies , < kc . be recommended by the delegates .

      PONTYPOOlu—Chartism on thb Wane . —A few days ago Mr . Black , of Nottingham , visited the town of Poutypool , aud a meeting was convened on the spur of the moment at the Wellington Inn , the working men ' s reading-room , which was numerously attended . The chair was taken by a . working man , who introduced Mr . Black to the meeting , and he , in a speech of considerable talent , impressed on the working men of Pontypool the necessity of adopting the plan a ^ laid down i > y the Manchester delegates . The meeting was adjourned to tbe following Monday evening , wken it was announced that Mr . Black would again address the men of Pontypool , at the Wellington . The newB spread with the rapidity of lightning , and iu the evening the town had

      the appearance of a large fair . On tbi 3 , as on many previous occasions , the authorities were determined to frustrate our proceedings : the landlord of the Wellington was informed that if he allowed the meeting to take place in his house , he would lose his license . At the hour of eight o'clock the streets became impassable , all anxious to know where the meeting was to be held . At this stage of the proceeding , around the cross of Pontypool presented a ludicrous appeurance . There were lawyers and their ckTks , ihkt-cavchers , and lickspittles , running about as plenty as rats in Norway , crying * ' The Chartists are coming ; up with the Bhuttcrs ! " At length a room was proviaed in George-street , which was crammed to tuffo .-ation , Roberts and his clique

      acting as body guards to Mr . Black , while he delivered an address which made a lasting impression on the men of Pontypoo : . At the conclusion , three cheers were proposed for the Charter , which Roberts said he had got orders not to allow . Thua ended tbe proceedings , aud all went Of in peace . — Mrs . ShelUrd is gone to visit her husband in Oakham Gaol , and is > he bearer of 20 s . from the men of Pontypool , to be divided amengst the prisoners . — A considerable bretze was created at an early hour on last Mouday morning , owing to the departure of the 45 th gali&nt cabbnge-stealera , from Pontypool Bastile , en route to Belfast . They marched through the fields by way of Pontrkj'WUU , in order to avoid being hissed by ihe inhabitants of Pontymoile .

      OEWSBUBY . —Visit op Dr . M'Douall . —On Thursday , the 3 ra of September , Dr . ATDouall visited this town by invitation , for the purpose of addressing tbe people ou the principles of the Charter . He arrived in this town soon after six o ' clock in the evenitg , from Bradford . The Committee had appointed a person a lew weeks back , to engage , if possible , the large room at the Wellington Tavern ; accordingly the person waited upon the landlord , two of the committee going with him . The landlord agreed to let the room at ten shillings for the evening . The bills were afterwards printed and posted , stating the place of meeting . Soon after the landlord cailed upon the printer in a terrible passion , demanding to know who had ordered these placards

      With the name of his house in , aad positively said that he had never promised the room to any one , and that he would have both the printer and the person that ordered tbe bills before the magistrates , but the cringing wretch has never had the courage to put his threat in force . He likewise said that one of the magistrates had called upon him and told him if he allowed tbe meeting to take place in his house , his license should be forfeited . The committee had then to try w obtain another room , but were unsuccessful . The only room left now was the one over the Cooperative Stores , which will hold about four hundred persons , wher « the meeting took place ; the room was literally crowded to suffocation , and there were hundreds outside that could not obtain admission . Soon after seven o ' clock the worthy Doctor entered

      the room , accompanied by Mr . Win . Moseley Sum . As soon as the Doctor aseended the platform , he was received with tremendous cheering and clapping of hands ; as soon as the cheering had subsided , Air . Wxa . M . Ssots was unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman opened tbe meeting by reading the placard , and wishing the people to conduct themselves with propriety . He then introduced the wortay Dcetor , who spoke nearly two hours , and was only interrupted by repeated bursts of applause . After the Doctor sat down , three chetrs was given fur him ; three cheera for Feargus O'C-. nnor , and all the imprisoned Chartists ; three cheers tor Frutt , Williams , and Jones ; and a vote of thanks given to the Chairman , the meetiug separated , highly gratified with the proceedings , and aenr w < w seen a mot * enthusiasm meeting in .

      MEETING IN CLERKENWELL TO CONGRATULATE DR . M'DOUALL . On Wednesday evening week , a numerous meeting took place at the Lecture Rooms , Clerkenwell Green , to congratulate Dr . P . M . M'Douall " onhis release from the Iron grasp of the most despicable faction that ever disgraced tbe annals of an enlightened nation . " At half-past eight . Mr . Peate was voted to the chair , and opened the business of the evening in a brief speech ; Soon afterwards , Mr . John Collins entered the room , and was loudly applauded . Mr . Collins having an engagement at another place that evening , the mover o ( the first resolution gave way , in order that Mr . C . might have an opportunity of addressing the meeting previous to his departure . Accordingly , after an intimation from the Chairman to that effect ,

      Mr . Collins presented himself , and wa $ again received with reiterated cheering ; -when this had BUbuided , he said—Mr . Chairman and Fellow-Countrymen , I assure you I feel a great deal of pleasure in having an opportunity of addressing a few words to a portion a * least of the men of London ; it was only a few minutes ago that I heard of this meeting , and though I have another engagement , I could not resist the temptation of coming among yom , to congratulate , with you , Dr . ii'Douall on his escape from the fangs of the tyrants I know what those fangs are ; and though the Attornc-r-General said he had put down Chartism—( hear , hear , hear )—he never made a greater mist * ke in his life ; it is not in the power of the Attorney-Grntral , nor of all hw colleagues to put a stop to those

      mighty principles which are destined , at no distant day , to bring about the Homy and the happiness of the whole people . He < Mr . Collins ) need not tell them of tho Tarioua means -which had been proposed for the obtaining of the Chime * , nor should he Uo more than refer to the course by which those who fought against tbe stamp laws were triumphant j as fast as their ranks wvre thinned by imprisonment , others were found ready and willing to undergo the same punishment in the same cause ; they were content to go on persevering amid suffering , and they thus proved that the Government was unequal to the task of subduing the unstamped press . A few evenings ago , he I Mr . Collins ) was thrown by circumstances into the company of between thirty and forty nrid < Ue- < 5 lass men , where the

      conversation turned upon Chartism j he was unknown to them , and after listening to a great deal of declamation about tie violence of the Chartists , he took an opportunity to ask one of the company , who had been veryEealous in his denunciations of the Charter , if he knew what the principles of the People's Charter were ! He found that this gentleman nor any of his companions , loud as they hau been in their indignation aj ^ inst the Chartists , had ever read that document Now , what would be said of the workiDg classes , if they were to act in such a manner ? Well , he said , we will say nothing of the Charter , but talked of principles ; and so he spoke of the distresses of the country , our commercial embarrassments , and other topics , illustrating his

      observations by a few facts that had come within his own knowledge during his recent travels ; this gained their attention , and one and all coincided in the proposed remedies he advocated ; all admitted the justice of the principles he propounded , and when he had got them to this pitch , he put into the bands of most of them a copy of The People's Clutter , and then for the first time they discovered that it was possible for men , who in all other concerns of life are deemed shrewd and intelligent , to be ignorant on a subject of all others the most important ; although they could flercly denounce , from prejudice , those who honestly advocated thn cause of right and justice , and truth , yet these are the men Who hold the elective power of the country in their hands , and who tell us that we are unfit to have the

      franchise ! Mr . Collins next referred to the parties who were said to have made violent speeches ; it was known , wherever he was at all known , that he had always been opposed to such a course ; but that was no reason why those , who were goaded by the pressure of misgovernment to the utterance of language which persons in a less destitute condition could not approve of , should be deprived of support , or of sympathy . The middle classes were loud enough in complaining , duriug what they called their seasons of adversity —for they have seasons of prosperity , during which the toil-worn labourers had only incessant rounds of toil and drudgery " from rosy morn till devryeve , " aye , and even till midnight , In order to " pull up" for the comforts they have been obliged to

      part with during the slack seaion ; so that what tha middle men call a seasou of prosperity is , when they can keep us in prison in their manufactories so long , that on Sundays we are actually strangers to our own children ; our wives and families have no comfort or enjoyment , and before we can get clear again , the season of " adversity , " that is of starvation and idleness , comes round ; and thus the life of the working man is one complete scene of misery and discontent . In such a state of things as this , can the Government , even with their Jack-of-all-work Attorney-General , stop the principles of the People's Charter ? Thsy might as well attempt to put an extinguisher upon the suu , for both would be equally futile . They begin to admit now , through their organs in the press , " that Chartism is

      now an element of public opinion . " We are obliged to them for tho admissiun ; though they would never have made it , if they had not been forced to it , by the increasing strength which the cause , from the justice and truth of its principles , is acquiring . When he reflected on the displays he had witnessed in his own town , and in London ; on the proceedings at Glasgow and Manchester , and other places ; and on the proper spirit -which the people displayed in ¦ Welcoming those who ha ! honestly suffered in their c&Ufce , and who came forth from the fiery ordeal unalloyed and unshaken , he could not help exclaming , "Thank God , Chartism is not dead—it ' s not even asleep ! " No : it waa not likely to go to Bleep ; for when a man sees that he cannot give his children

      sufficient food or proper education , his principles were not very likely to slumber ; if they had some snug pensions , similar to those of which he lield a list in his hand , they might let their principles lay very quiet ; but while , out of their earnings are wrung enormous sums of money , to be squandered in the secret services , they would never rest until they had achieved their emancipation . The list to which he ( Mr . Collins ) referred -was " Cleave's New Black List , " from which he would re » d one item alone ; and that was the allowance to the Duke of Wellington . His Grace teemed , with hVa title , a yearly sum of four thousand pounds ; as Constable of the Tower . £ 950 a year more ; as Colonel of the Rifle Brigade , £ 238 a year more ; as Colonel of the First Regiment of Foot Guards , £ 2 , ( 595 a year more ;

      as Lord Warden of theCinque Ports , £ 474 ayearmoro ; by tbe 53 rd of Georpe III ., cap . 4 , he received a round sum of one hundred thousand pounds ; by the 53 rdand 54 th of the same King he received an annuity of thirteen thousand pounds , or a round sura Of foUt hundred thousand pounds down ; anil by cap . 186 of the same year he was granted two hundred thousand pounds more ; ihe interest of which . Bums , at five per cent , amount to £ 35 , u 0 o a year ; and the total income of the Duke to £ 118 14 s . 6 d . a day . When they heard the sums in round numbers , they knew it was something very considerable , but when it was reduced to the daily allowance , they had a definite idea of what it-was ; and he would like to know if they WOUld not think themselves -well paid with the Duke of

      Wellington ' s daily allowance as a year's wagesaye , many of them as two , three , and even four years . Considerable stress had bwn laid upon the mode in which a portion of the people , daring the agitation of last year , had proposed to obtain their rights ; he alluded to physical fore *; but who had they to thank for these notions ? Was it not the higher and educated classes ? Do they not award the very highest honours ana emoluments to those who manage the carrying of fire and sword throughout territories ? And is not this specie 3 of carnage mixed up in their very religious ceremonies , by thankgivings to Go 1 after wholesale massacres , and burnings , and revolting enormities ? Nay , more than these , do they not look on the ouccessful human butchers as superior beings , and teach our

      children with toys , to love th « fiend-lite occupation ? And yet , When the people , borao down to the very dust by oppression and misrule , take means of a similar kind to remove their grievances—means which have baen lauded as the noblest that can engage human attention- —they are denounced as the most ignorant and abandoned of mankind . In short , neither justice nor reason have any weight with the oppressors of the people ; and all that the oppressed can do , is to persevere in their course of truth and right , whether we meet with ten men in a room or ten thousand ; let us bring our concentrated powers to bear upon the stronghoid of tyranny , until Toryism , and Whiggisint and all other destructive factions , that are opposed to the liberty and happiness of the people , shall fall before the united power of an intelligent and determined

      community . ( Hear , hear , and long-continued cheers . ) One mure word before he left them : —It was a remarkable feature , during the agitation of last year , that none of their opponents met thtm to discuss their principles-, « n the contrary , the whole press , with almost a solitary exception , was prevailed on to suppress their proceedings , und when the Whigs had succeeded in stifling their reports , they thought they had also succeeded in crushing their principles : how great was their mistake , let tae renewed movement at this time show . At the White Conduit House meeting he and bis friend Lovett had told them that th « y would shortly submit a plan for the organisation of tho people , and he believed that this plan would be ready in a week or two ; they hau duly considered the law , BO that the Government might have no power to pounce npon them ; and he would make it his business to get extracts from tho various enactments , printed in a che » p form , thai they iukht bare the plan in oae

He had made these remarks , as both he and his friend Lovett wore desirous to appeal to tbe reason , of their fellow-workmen rather than to their pasiions , or even to their distresses ; and in conclusion , though for bis own part it was to him , personally , a matter of "rery little moment , whether he received congratulation or applause , or not , be thought the gentleman upon whose liberation they had assembled to congratulate each other and him , deserved so well at their hands . hand and the law la the other , and see bow far the

      that he would cheerfully and devotedly join hia voice to theirs in the gratulation . He enjoined them to take advantage of this crisis , to lay aside all petty feelings , to become deliberative assemblies , to talk over aad discuss prineiples , and then , having come to a resolution as to the best line of conduct , pursue it steadily In 1837 , the men of Birmingham wero suffering great distress , and they sent a deputati « n to confer on the subject with Lord Melbourne , who said he could hold out no hopes of amelioration ; from this , the people of Birmingham , seeing that tbe Ministry were unwilling or unable to allemte their condition , determined that they were unfit to bold the reins of Government , and thenceforth came to a solemn resolve to lay aside all

      agitation for the rectification of particular abuses , however pressing , and to get the power of altering all bud laws ; from this course nothing had since turned them ; they hod been tempted with agitation on the Corn Laws , on the Poor Laws , on tho foreign policy , —but they fltuck to their text of Universal Suffrage ; and , with the men of Scotland , whom they had invited to pledge themselves to a similar course , and who had not broken tint pledge , they were now as firmly resolved as ever that the principles of the People's Charter should be triumphant , and he firmly believed the day was not far distant when their efforts would be crowned with success . ( Mr . Collins , at the termination of his address , left the meeting , amid the same enthusiastic cheering aa had greeted him oa his entmnce . )

      Mr . Cowik moved , and Mr . Culterhouse seconded the following resolution : — " That this meetiug , viewing tbe manly conduct of Dr . Pet « r Murray M'Douall , Lihisnobledefence , and in his sufferings for the advocacy of the People ' s Charter , sincerely congratulate him aud the country on bis restoration to liberty . " Mr . HETIIER 1 NGTON , in supporting the resolution , was desirous of offering a tew remarks . He bad only heard of tbe meeting an hour or two ago , yet he thought it his duty to come , in order to testify his respect for Dr . M'Douall , and his approbation of the manner in which , he had advocated , and endured his sufferings for having advocated the cause of the People ' s Charter . He thought it was the duty of the people to rally round all who suffered in their cause , and though there might be some among them whose cause of suffering was produced by acts or language that prudence or caution might not

      be able to justify , it should be sufficient to know that they bad been sufferers in a good cause , to entitle them te the sympathy and applause of the working people ; like the knight who saw a traveller beset by assassins , and stopped not to enquire the cause of their attack , until be had placed the man in safety , so the working men who desired to obtain the Charter , whurever they saw one of thoir body struck , should run to bis rescue . He ( Mr . H . ) was happy to soe that all tbose who are coming out of prison , come out undaunted ; it is not cruelty and persecution that will moke a man , who feels himself to be right , alter his opinion ; he had himself twice suffered long periods of imprisonment , and be assured them it had just the very reverse of that effect oa him ; and he thought Dr . M'Douall was especially entitled to thoir thanks , not only for tbe manner in which he had endured his Bufiuring , but for the excellent and talented mode iu which he had conducted his defence

      so well did he arrange his subjects , and so completely did be show the justice of all that the Chartists claim , that almost all who heard him were converted to hia principles ; and it was well known , that he was punished not for any act of his own , but in reality for what ethers , who were goaded by desperate circumstances , had in their despair , given utterance to . Thus his prosecutors said , we don't deny the truth of your principles , nor dispute the soundness of your reasoning ; but it is necessary to check the violence ot other parties , Who are being led away by your instigation to acts which are contrary to tho law , and destructive of tbe public peace . " Now he would ask them , if they went into a stable with such a story as that , would not the horses kick their brains out , if they had any in ?

      Tho time- has arrived when we must call things by their right names , and when a man is a cruel and unjust tyrant we should point him out . He ( Mr . H . ) bad always deprecated bombaatica ) expressions ; the people had learnt by experience that it was no use to brag , and that the braggarts are the first to run ; be hoped , therefore , that they would firmly say to the classes who withheld their rights , " you have usurped those powera which you know belong to us , and we will have them ; and , moreover , we will never ceaee our endeavours to get them till we have got such a union as shall prove irresistible . " Let them take an example from the people of America , at the period of declaring their independence ; whatever tho Government of that day resolved they should do , those very things the people resolved

      they would not do ; it nysw an old saying , bat an expressive one , that " one man might lead a horse to water , bnt twenty could not make him drink . " And they might say to tbe aristocracy , " We want our rights , not to injure you , but to protect ourselves ; not from your depredations , ( for that would be impolitic ) but those who may come after you . " Tbe present race of electors are always looking at the till ; none of them are getting much now , and the Chartists should subscribe their penny a piece weekly , which would soon amount to ten or twenty thousand pounds ; when they might buy whole places , and return members , besides , by continuing tha subscription for a year , building Trades' Halls in all the large towns in tbe kingdom . They would be astonished at the number of half-pay officers there were in Parliament , and still more at the proportion these bore to those on full pay ; now what would they think of a farmer who kept ten carters ,

      nine of them on half-pay to do nothing , aad the tenth on full pay , for active service , to drive his cart . Of course they would think he must be a fool , but just such was Joi > n Bull , who kept nine officers oa half-pay for every one in " activH" service , as it was called . The late William Cobbett used to tell a story in his own quaint way , about a cook who always bought fat meat , when her master always wanted lean , and whenever he spoke to her about it , she was always in her airs , till one day she declared , upon being rather hard pressed , that " she knew it wag good meat , and , besides , it made plenty of kitchen stuff . " That was just the way our Downingstreet cooks managed , and therefore the best thing we can do is to get the means of routing out the whole establishment . After a few more observations , Mr . Hetlierington concluded amid general appUuao , by cordially congratulating Dr . M'Douall on his liberation , aud especially on the self-command and honesty he had displayed in hi 3 advocacy of the People ' s Charter .

      The resolution , on being put from the chair , was carried unanimously , with considerable manifestations of satisfaction . Mr . Balls , hi proposing the next resolution , said , he was sure Dr . M'Douall ' s noble conduct , while suffering for the unenfranchised , and for the factory children , must endear him to the friends of humanity and liberty . Neither the cold water , nor the skilly , nor the indignities he had endured , bad altered his opinions or bi 3 determination ; he would therefore beg leave to move , " That a Committee be appointed for the purpose of raising funds to enable Dr . M'Douall to visit London , to receive the personal congratulations of bis friends in the metropolis ; and that an address be drawn up , embodying the spirit of the resolutions , and expressive of the object for which wo propose to invite him . " Mr . Bennett seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously .

      Mr . COW IE , in moving the appointment of the committee , observed as follows : —We have met to congratulate Dr . M'Douall on his release , and ourselves onwhat ? Not for a liberty gained , but for a victim liberated ; not for a tyranny destroyed , but for a tyrannized fellow-citizen unshackled from the gloom of a prison . We seek not to gain our rights by midnight couneila , nor by open acts of violence ; but we wi 3 h all the world to see us , to hear us , and to knowua ; we require for our purpose only three things ,- all of wliich are at our command , if we will have but prudence enough to avail ourselves of them , viz . : wealth , unity , and brotherly feeling : we require wealth , without which no great enterprise ever succeeded in thia unfortunate country , and this we should attain by unity and brotherly feeling , which would destroy individual envy , by consolidating every opinion . Ours may flceni a

      hopeleaa struggle , but whatever may be accomplished by energyandperseverance , we may hope toaccomplisb ; and though , comparatively speaking , the voice of the people is now subdued , like the rippling rivulet that forms tbe source of a mighty river , it will auon swell into the full , wild roar of the tide , at its conflux , with the boundloss ocean . The same voice that broke the chains of half-en 8 laved America , and called forth , from what was intended to be freedom ' s grave , those noble minds that gave life , and spirit , and strength to the despairing energies of the people , and that planted the standard of liberiy in a laud which has since become the refuge of the oppressed , and a home for the politically persecuted of all countries—the same voice now called on M'Douall , and Lovett , and Collins , and their colleagues to resume the moral struggle for their country ' s emancipation from the destructive oligarchy that now enslave it

      Tbe next speaker was a lady , Mrs . ESIeri , who was received with most enthusiastic cheering * and who , although the hour was somewhat late , so completely and eloquently won the attention of her hearers , that , except tbe plaudits with which her observations were occasionally greeted , the most profound silence reigned throughout in the body of tbe meeting . We regret thatour limits prevent our giving even an outline of Mrs . Emery's address . There was a time whoa a fwnale would not be allowed to address a public assembly , but the present occasion shows that the schoolmistress is abroad , us woll as the schoolmaster , and it is not a hard task to decide which will prove the most useful ally in the cause of Chartism . . Mr . Moork , m a Tery pithy address , supported the proposition , He had tae greatest pleasure In con-

      gratulating Dr . M'Douall on his release , and the workbig men of London on his restoration to liberty . Of all those who bad suffered and had been released , Dr . M'Douall had indeed signalised himself , in truth and spirit , aa the . unflinching advocate of the 'People ' s Charter ; for while some of their advocates had been led away by one flimsy project or another , which the factions had started , to buy up those whom the pe # plo had among them but year , Dr . M'Douall bad remained true to his principles—( hear , and cheers )—and be trusted the working men of London would prevail on him to visit the metropolis , and greet him with such a procession as would show the' estimation in which they held consistency and talent , when employed in the cause of truth and liberty . Mr . Moore next eratulatinjt Dr . M'Douall on his release , and the work-

      alluuea 4 o the deplorable state of tbe poor man at Bath , who , having Been better days , and being reduced to the very verge of desperation , had administered poison to bis children , rather than enter the Union Bastile , to be separated from all be held dear . It bad been gravely argued by the aristocratic prints , that this was not a case for mercy ; but if the scene were laid in any foreign country , aad the incidents were dramatised , the same persons who , because it is a deed of our own country , and an occurrence of real life in our own times , can see no case for mercy . would weep in the most laudable sympathy for the poor victim of " wayward fate , " as they would then call him ; though now bis crime and bis miseries must meet with the sympathy of every reflecting mind not absolutely steeled by erroneous training against all the finer feelings of our nature .

      Mr . Chapman , in nominating the members of the proposed committee , made a few general observations after which , the committee was elected . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman , and the meeting separated at half-past eleven . ,

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affections , which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked .

      or treated with apathy , and almost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enteip into th « details of these affections , to point out their causes , and to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and physical , which are sure to follow from indulgence , in certain habits , would be entirely out of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , however , in saying that there is no member of society , by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider . such person to hold the relation of a PARENT , ! PRECEPTOR , or aCLERGYMAN .

      The PARENT , who beholds his beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature grave , in consequence of some disease , Which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes , who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , tabes , < fcc , the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently than is at all suspected .

      The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily at least the relation and responsibility of a parent , will , by perusing this work , be directed , and' very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too ofteu concealed practices so often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time . He will hero find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , aad a standard whereby to judge , when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young oharges , what the real cause of such attack may be , and thU 8 he will be enabled to chuck the evil iu its incipient Btnte .

      The CLERGYMAN , in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor , will here bo directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them , if not relinquished .
