      THE ONLY CURE FOR RUPTURE Incidental to Men , Women , and Children . TRUSSES . —It is a well-known fact , that of all the ills that flesh is heir to , none suffer from prejudiceso much as those afflicted with Hernia , different kinds of Trusses being required to meet the peculiarities of each case , and as the majority of Truss-makers are strongly prejudiced to their own inventions they use them to the exclusions of all others . Thus tt is that the ruptured public are obliged to visit numerous Truss-makers before being suited . Now the undersigned , a practical maker , having been twenty years in the trade , and well acquainted with the virtues and failings of every Truss extant , earnestly invites a visit from the afflicted , when he will exhibit to them the real cause of their discomfiture , and agree not to receive one peony until complete satisfaction is given , the most hopeless and desperate cases not excepted ; with which latter J . G . has been eminently successful , from bis impartial system of adaptation . Persons suffering from otttcbes will do well to pay Mr . 6 . a visit after they have been victimised by Quacks , who profess to have remedies , it being known by the whole Profession that no rupture can be cured without a Trass adapted to the case .

The differences which separated the various sections of the reactionary party , have been arranged , and the whole of their forces have been combined in the attack upon the Constitution and the Republic . It is now certain that the Disfranchising Bill , will pass into a law , under circumstances which will strike off , at least , one half of the voters who made Louis Napoleon President , while it will place the other half almost completely at the control of the wealthy classes . The Republic itself , is intended to follow the

      destruction of electoral rights . It is confidently stated the bargain is struck between the Legitimists and the Orleanists , and a restoration of the Bourbon dynasty determined upon , whenever time aud circumstances will permit . It is understood that the negotiations which have for some time been carried on between the two branches of the Bourbon famil y who have been disinherited from the throne of France , have terminated in a treaty by which the young son of the Due d' Orleans , in whose favour Louis Philippe abdicated in 1848 , will be adopted by the Due de

      Bourdeaux , the presumptive Henry V . of the older branch , as his successor . The united Bourbons are the masters of the situation , as it is said that Changarnier , at the head of the army , is their supported As to the " President , " it is proposed to buy him off by the revival of the princely post of Constable of France , with the appanage of Rambouillet , and a pension of a million of francs . If he declines this offer , the dynastic coalition mean to take advantage of his pecuniary difficulties , aud to place him in a position which will prove equally ^ ruinous to him in his public or private capacity .

      The plot of the conspirators is complete , and events ripen rapidly in their favour . Yet , even in this apparently hopeless and desperate position ofthe people ' s cause , we are not without faith in the noble democracy of France . They have too frequently , within the present century , shown themselves a match for all the combined powers of despotism for us to feel otherwise than confident in their ultimate triumph . After so long a trial of a

      peaceable Republic , and experience ofthe use of constitutional weapons , with the great mass of the people thoroughly Republican in heart and feeling , to restore the Monarchy in that country seems to us to be as dangerous as it would be-to seat oneself on a cask of gunpowder with a lighted cigar . .. An explosion must take place . . 'i . The conduct of the tyrant Majority in the Assembly , during the debates on the Electoral Bill , has been of the most ferocious and

      infamous character * President Dupin has out-Heroded Herod in the disgraceful , and unparalleled abuse of the privileges of his position . His name will go down to posterity—if such a wretch is remembered at all— -as one . of the most unprincipled and shameless bullies that ever disgraced a judicial or administrative position . The speakers in favour of the Disfranchising Bill , did not even stoop to the hypocrisy of justifying that measure on plausible con .

      tne scounarei wno presided , started up , bulf ^ wi and insulted the representative of the pe 0 D | who gave utterance to an observati on so m and clearly called for . Even our infaiL Jeffries—immortal and transcendent in th * list of truculent , remorseless , and violet villains—never exhibited , during his blood campaign after the unsuccessful rebellion It Monmouth , more foul-mouthed insolence , ftnot to individuals , but to the whole of the j ari * party called the Mountain , that these outrag e ous insults—which make an Englishm an ' ' blood boil—are habituall y offered by this ruffian . All . the ordinary conventionalities J deliberative assemblies—all the standi ™ maJ .

      by which they are governed—are either ruth lessly violated , or become in his hands mere instruments of relentless tyranny and injustice . M . Thiers made as warlike and insulting a speech as Montalem

      bert ; and , among other false and foul aspersions on the character and conduct of what he contemptuousl y styled " the mob , " accused them of having hauled down Napoleon ' s statue , and dragged ifc it by the neck with a cord . M . Napoleon Buonaparte rose up to do an act of historical justice and filial piety , audio refute thefalae . hood on the spot . He stood up in his dIscp

      and said it was not the Democracy of Paria who precipitated the statue of Napoleon from its column , but the Eoyal ists—tha despot allies—who hurled him from his throne , But President Dupin could not bear that even this justice should be done to the memorj and the popularity of the Emperor . He fa , riously pronounced the censure against his young relative , for having told the truth ia the teeth of the practised and veteran liar who thus maligned the people . These ara specimens of the treatment experienced by the Minority of the Assembly , while engaged ia defending the Constitution . With another sample we close the disgusting exhibition . Oa

      Monday afternoon , Pierre Leroux—one of the ablest and most earnest of the Socialist party—alluded , in the course of . his speech , to Robespierre . and Marat , as " illustrious citizens . " He was thereupon baited by s crowd oi the infuriated Majority , who bawled out to him from the foot of the tribune , that "he lied , " and that "his heroes were infamous scoundrels . " What was the protection of M . President Dupin against such a gross infraction of all the decencies of debate ? Why , he ' sided with the assailants . He , forsooth , could not allow the hon . member to apply the term " illustrious" to " a couple of atrocious villains !"

      If the people of France and their leaders are ever again driven into a revolt , will not al l these scalding , searing insults—these mon « strous violations of every principle that should guide the intercourse of men pretending to be civilised * rise up in fearful judgment against the parties who thus perpetrate the most atrocious crimes against society ? If , in " the wild justice of revenge , " the masses should

      remember the burning provocations they and their advocates have received to violence , and retaliate in a similar spirit , the Press of the despots will ring from one end of Europe to tha other , with execrations of their violence . At present—while these disgraceful proceedings are going on—they are either silent , or hound on their allies to more fierce assaults on public liberty , and to a moro complete disregaz-d of the conduct which should characterise men

      entrusted with the task of legislating for and governing a nation . Do they mean to create a war of extermination between the non-productive and the productive classes ? If so , let them remember they are the aggressors ; and may God defend the right ! But we would fain indulge in the hope that the magnanimity , patience , aud true courage of the Democratic party will stand between France and that deluge of human blood , and infuriated passion , which the socalled party of "Property , Family , and

      Order , ' ' wish to let loose . The very violence of their conduct shows , that in their hearts they dread most a calm , determined , constitutional resistance , on the part of the peop le , If the masses can be controlled , time will bring round , its revenges in due season , and the seemingly well-concocted schemes of the perjured traitors who now misgovern France , melt , like the hideous shapes which disturb a restless and feverish sleep , leaving the millions in the permanent'possession of their just rights .

      The. Ten Hours Act. Lord Ashley's Propos...

      THE . TEN HOURS ACT . Lord Ashley ' s proposed compromise with the millowners , has been " pronounced" upou by the ' factory operatives , and their staunch friends , whoj for the last quarter of a century have stood by them through good aud evil re * port . They have unanimously determined that

      rather than allow Lord Ashley ' s desertion , and the trickery ofthe factory lords , to mvm them out of the benefits intended to be conferred upon them by John Fielden ' s Act , they ' will throw out any measure that may oa proposed short of that this Session , aud , uniei the Parliamentary leadership of Lord John Manners , renew next year the strugg le for an efficient Ten Hours Act .

      The veteran Oastler , in one ofhis admira' ble speeches , tore to tatters the flimsy pretence 1 on which Lord Ashley has , in the language j of one of the resolutions , " not only deserted 1 the cause which he had voluntarily p ledge * himself to support , ' but that in the manner r best calculated to weaken its friends , and to Q strengthen the hands of its enemies . " That 16 pretext was , that there were no words that it could be put together , which could bind tha 18 millowners not to work shifts or relays . $ * ' r > Oastler declared that a clause had been 311

      drawn up by Mr . Butt , the eminent Queen 8 1 fl Counsel , which had been pronounced by $ $ the lawyers consulted to be sufliciently concta * usive and stringent on the subject . But th . 8 bs excuse on which that clause was not presse d * id , was , that it would be introducing new matter et , and as Lord Ashley had very unnecessarily iiy given his word that new matter should not D 8 d 8 introduced , the' factory workers are to »» w cheated of substantial justice . But see tWHM hypocrisy which lies at the bottom of this pfj * aj * tence . If the question is to be settled at vu « w , without the introduction of new matt er , should be equally binding upon mill owners a »* m mill-hands . Yet . Lord Ashley consent *"' **

      an entirely new definition and arrangement it the factory day , which would tell ag » uw j" 'J " clients , and in favour of the law-breaking ' * : rotary lords .
