      SCURVY AND IMPURE BLOOD . 4 SOTHEE HOST EXTBAOED 1 NAEV _COiE BV MEANS OF HALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS . —The _following case has excited so much interest , that the Guardians of the parish of Brent , Devon , have considered it their duty to s _ujn their names to the accompanying important do . claration . It is well worthy the notice of the public : — ' We the undersigned , solemnly declare , tbat , before Thomas Robins { one of our parishioners ) , commenced takingjHalse ' s Scorbutic Drops , he was literally eovered with large running wounds isome of them so large tbat a person might have laid his fist in them ) , that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement , and that by continuing them for some time he got completely restored to health after everything else had failed . He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking * Halse's Scorbutic Drops , ' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this _country , without deriving the least benefit . ' Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops ' have completely cured him , and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish . From other oures also made in this part , we strongly recommend Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops' to the notice of the public . 'Signed by John Eiliott , sen ,, Lord ofthe Manor . 'John Mahniho . ''William Pearce , * HBtntT Goodman . 'Arthub Lanqwobtht . ' June 21 st , 1843 . ' Tke above-mentioned Thomas Robins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever . Before he commenced taking these drops somo of his wounds were so largethat it was most awful to look at them , and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful ; indeed , the poor follow could be heard screeching by passers b y , _( S day and ni ght , for sleep was en , tirely out of tbe _qiieiSori . He w . 'is reduced to mere Skin and bone , and daily continued to get weaker , so thnt there ; wa * every probability ; of his speedy death . The effect which * Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops' had on him was , as it were , magieal ; for before he had taken the first bottle , bis sleep was sound and refreshing , the itching ceased , and the pain was very much lessened . Persons whe see bim now can scarcely believe it is the same man —the pale , sallow , sickly complexion having given way to that ofthe roseate hue of health , and his reins filled « ith lood as pure as purity itself . For all scorbutic eruptions , _leproiy , diseased legs , wounds in any part of the body , scurvy in the gums , pimples and blotches on the neck , arras , or face , these drops ara a sure euro . They make the disease vanish like snow before the sun . Their action is to purify the blood ; they are composed of the juices of various herbs , and ara so harmless tbat they may be safely Administered even to infants . The enormou * sale which this medicine has now obtained is an Kndoubted proof of its in 7 _aluab ! r 9 properties , the great sale of it bein g principally _through recommendation , Any _medicina vender will procure it n application . Read the following extract frc _* a the Nottingham Rbyiew : — 'Impurity of the blood the cause of Scurvy , Bad Legs , & o . ' It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scurvy , wounds in the legs , & _. C ., when it is a well ascertained fact that Halse's Scorbutic Drops make the disease vanish like snowhefore the sun . No one ie better able to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vender of the article ; and as venders of this mediciae we can conscientiousl y recommend it to our friends , for there is scarcel y a day passes but we hear some extraor . dinary accounts of it ; indeed , wo have known parties who have trie 4 other advertised medicines without the least success , and yet on resorting , to this preparation , tho n jw justly celebrated Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops , the disease has yielded as if by magic . We again say , try Halse ' s Seorhutic Drops . ' Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops are sold in bottles at 2 g . 9 d „ and in Pint bottles , containing nearly six 2 s . 9 d . bottles for lis , and Halse ' s Galvanic Family Pills are sold in Doses at is . ljd . and 2 s . 9 d ., by tha following appointed Agents : — WnoLESALB _& ND RETAIL LONDOH _AOENTO . — _-Barclay and Sons _Farringdon- street ; C .

      A Trades' Delegate Meeting, Comprising U...

      A Trades' Delegate meeting , comprising upward * of one hundred delegates from the various metropolitan trades , assembled at the Bell Inn , in the Old Bailey , on Thursday evening March the Oth . Mr Edwards ( compositor ) , was called to the chair , and said tbat meeting had been convened te consider what means could be taken to alleviate the alarming distress that prevailed amongst ths operative classes of tbis country , and to make known their deplorable condition to the government . He hoped that each delegate it ould eschew all politics that did not bear specially on the subject for which they had met ; for hia own trade , he thought , it the advertisement and stamp duties were repealed , it would give a stimulus to the printing business . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr Dblaforcb ( weaver ) , rose to move Ihe following resolution : —

      That it Is 'he opinion of this Trades' Delegate meeting that her Majesty ' s ministers ought to be made acquainted with tbe destitute condition of the operative population , consequent on the want of employment ; aa also with the means wliich , in the opinion of the working classes _tbemselvcB , if adopted , would necessarily give employment to a considerable number of hands , and so far mitigate the alarming distress whieh prevails . He said the silk weavers were in & most deplorable state , and had long ; felt the necessity of an alteration , and to effect this they believed some demonstration should be mado . ( Hear , bear . ) Sir Robert _Peells alteration of import duties had very materially affected them . He believed had the present false system of folitical economy not prevailed , not a loom

      would be unemployed . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr Delaforoe here read a statistical table , given in as evidenoe before a committee ofthe House of Commons , strongly illustrative of his argument . The free-trade system had reduced wngea one half and caused agreat want of employ ; he believed bo waa under the mark when he said more than two-thirds of their body were involuntary idlers . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr _Esseby ( tailor ) in aeeonding the resolution , said , he thought their grievances were social not political—( hear , hear , and loud shouts of' No , no' )—the _alopsellers , with what was technically called their ' Royal warrants , ' had much affected their trade ; those _slopaellers wore little better than mere salesmen , in bis trade there were many thousand who

      had not earned four shillings per week for a longtime pa 9 t . ( Hear ) They grumbled in private and sometimes in public , and the press , especially the 'f _usua and ihe Sun , refused to make their wants known . They sometimes used tbem for party purposes . The Times had more than once _refused to make their grievances known , even as an advertisement . Much of the tailoring business was done through the instrumentality of what were technically called ' sweater ? , ' a species of middlemen , who wrung the sweat and blood out of the workers ; he did not think it was any good , getting up statistics , the government was already acquainted with tbeircircamstances , but had taken no stepB to better their condition . ( Hear ,

      hear . ) If a member of parliament was asked to do anything fer them he said , ' Oh , they had free trade , competition would cause things to find their level , the workmen most depend on their own energies ;' but , notwithstanding , all this legislators and governments did interfere , and that most perniciously . Did they not contract for the clothing ofthe coast guard , the police , and military ? and were not tha convicts , in the Model prison , employed to Manufacture goods , and were not such goods brought into the market to compete with tho goods made by the virtuous independent labourer ?—( loud cheerB )—this he called a most pernicious interference . ( Repeated cheering .

      Mr Curtis ( upholsterer ) said , his trade had concurred in the calling this meeting because they believed that muoh poverty prevailed amongst the trades which was unseen and unheard . ( Hear , hear . ) Ifc was reported that all the furniture used in the new wing of Buckingham Palace , was to be imported from Germany ; if this was the case the aristocracy would follow suit , and we should have as great a rage for German fashions as had existed for Paris fa 9 hion 9 heretofore . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr IlonNSBT ( weaver ) said , he was quite certain that the

      , by patronage bestowed on foreigners by the Sovereign , great harm was done to the home trade . Ho could assure thera so great was the suffering of the Spitalfields weavers , that many of them had cut up their looms to warm their unclothed , half-starved children . ( Sensation . ) A small particle of rice was their only sustenance from day to day . ( Great sensation . ) He trusted the trades would have a _demonstration—a strong demonstration—that should say to the government' If you will not do your duty by us , we will take affairs into our own hands . ' ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr Whiddoh ( East-end cabinet-makers ) said , he knew that some of the trades were aristocratic , but he was happ _** to see suoh a meeting as that assembled . He looked on it as the beginning of a more brotherly feeling . ( Loud cheers . ) The slop selling undoubtedly InJHrcd all trades . It affected theirs . Stuff was made up to sell , and vended at little more than the cost of the raw material . ( Hear , hear . ) A chest of drawers , for which they once obtained two pounds for making , was now _kneoked together for ten shillings . These things deprecisted'the value of labour , and must tend to bringdown the aristocracy of the trade to the very lowest pitch . ( Hear , hear . ) He contended that it was utterly impossible to discuss thia question without entering on politics .

      ( Hear , hear . ) The want of representation by the millions was at the bottom of it all . ( Loud cheers . ) And , unless they did interfere with politics , he did not think the numerous obnoxious laws tbat were on the Statute Book would ever be repealed . Sure he was that Parliaments , constituted as the present was , would never benefit their condition- ( Hear , hear . ) He hoped to see their meetings increase , until every trade in this vast metropolis and its suburbs had its representatives present . ( Hear , hear ) For his part he did not hope—or rather expect—any permanent benefit until they had achieved a political object . This once obtained , he thought the surplus hands would soon be found beneficial employment on the land . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr Rbakdon ( tailor . ) said , he firmly believed if the people wished for redemption that they must achieve their own salvation . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr _Reardsn gave an illustration of tho sweating system by _showing how women were made the manufacturers of _greatcoats . Not interfere with pohticB ! Why an employer he knew had , when the income tax was put on , reduced hia wages sothat he absolutely made _upwards of £ 100 by the imposition of that tax . ( Laughter and applause . ) The masters appeared to be increasing tbeir wealth , as thoy had so far gone on . that they now had their _drawing rooms ,

      counting houses _, enrnages , and , in some instances , their hunters and hounds , whilst the operatives , who produced all , were left to the miseries of a cold Poor Law bastile . ( Loud cheers . ) Tbe Press had been alluded to , a portion of it was completely with thero ; lie _looked on the _Northhr _*! Star as the true working man ' s friend , —( loud cheers , )— - and he was delighted to seo Mr Stallwood , the reporter for that journal , amongst thero . ( Load cheers . ) They must do their own busiuess if they wanted it well done , and remain at tlieir post until the object was effected . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr No qurs ( silk weaver , ) said , the introduction of goods from foreign _couatries had done great lurm . ne was not opposed to free trade on fair principles ' , viz ., the exchange of the surplus goods of one oountry for the surplus produce of another country . < Hear hear . ) He conceived that if the government would grant us the land it would be our _aalva'ion ; the governmeBt could raise money for other purposes wby not to put the surplus population on the soii ? ( Loud ohee « . ) Why not ? _beoaufe they were not of the people , and they believed it would make the _starviDd people independent . ( Cheers . ) _^ _^ _uiyiuj _, Mr James ( boo ; maker , ) said , he was surprised when the chairman gave the recommendation not to meddle with politics . ( Hearhear )

      , The _Chaiemasj said he must be understood to mean , exoeptBo fara 8 ifc concerned tbo question for which they had mat . Mr Jambs , in continuation , said they had been trying most strenuously to benefit their condition for tho last fifteen or twenty years , but they had not elleoted it . Why ? Because they Bteerod clear of politics . ( Loud cheers . ) One delega _' o had said it did not matter what form of government they were under , but he differed with hia , Monarchy _appesrol 'o him to have failed in upholding- the rights of in ' _dustry , —( hear , hear , )—and hence he said wo must

      A Trades' Delegate Meeting, Comprising U...

      have _. Republican government or some other form of complete representative _government ,,. ( Great applause . ); The patronage ofthe igOaaroh and tno aristocracy nad ; beer _\ alluded to , but he asked why did ' tlKSy "' allow the few to oppress _& nd trample down the many ? ( Loud cheera . ) 'This was entirely a polltical question . He was ene of a deputation who bad waited on Lord Ripon and Mr Joseph Hume when the inoome tax was first imposed , and the answer made to their complaint * was , ' Oh ! you must put up with this , —faith muBt bo kept with the publio creditor , they must not bo robbed : ' but what he ( Mr

      James ) wanted to know was , why should journeymen bootmakers be robbed to support either stock-jobbers or aristocrats ? ( Loud cheer * . ) They were asked to state what they wanted , —he boldly avowed that he wanted more wages for less work . ( Loud shouts of 'hear , hear . ' ) He waa sorry to inform them that one half of the City men ' s men were out of employ , and if this meeting intended to benefit the operatives it must at enoe declare its determination never to rest satisfied until they had a fair representation in the Commons House of Parliament . ( Great applause . )

      Mr Wiixuus ( cabinet makor ) said , ho was much gratified to find a meeting of that kind assembled . It must eventually be produotive of great good . ( Hear , hear . ) He believed the government was aware of the existence of great distress amongst the operatives ; indeed , the Excise returns showed it . ( Hear , hear . ) He fully agreed witn those who had recommended the not blinking of politics . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought that every young man when he merged from his apprenticeship should understand perfectly bi 3 political condition in society . ( Hear , hear . ) Some thirty years ago England was the workshop of the world ; but we had become saddled with a debt of eight hundred millions , which burdened us with ,,. an .. immense weight of taxation .

      Railway speculation . had become very rife . Little shopkeepers bad imagined that tbey were all going to becdm * e ' King _Hudsons , ' and all these had tended much to tbe present depression of trade , and the consequent poverty of the operative . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho apprehended that a struggle for improvement _, without first effecting a political change , would be useless , the produce would be swallowed up with rates , taxes , and tithes . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought they should , as speedily as possible , effeot a radical change in the Houso of Commons . ( Hear , hear . ) They had seen a change across the water within the last few days ; and , mark , almost tha first act of the provisional government was to look to the interest of labour . ( Loud cheers . ) Tho French people were _promised a Minister of Industry —( _chesrs )—and why ? because Universal Suffrage now prevailed in that country—( loud cheers ) —and he trusted the working classes of this country

      would press onwards , and never cease their exertions until they also had Universal Suffrage . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Cabtbr ( carpenter ) said , he was excited by two opposite sentiments , grief , and joy—grief , that they had occasion to meet ; joy , that they had the . spirit to meet and demand a redress of grievances . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not hesitate to say , that there were 60 , 000 persons out of employ in the metropolis at this time . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought that all the information gleaned from the delegates should be put in shape , and distributed throughout the country . ( Hear , hear . ) Tho revolution that had just transpired had , in a word , changed the politics ot Europe ; it had given an impetus to freedom that all the tyrants of the earth could not stop . ( Loud cheers ) They had often boasted that England was the greatest nation in the world . Was it not monstrous thst _aha should also he the raost distressed

      nation in the world 1 ( Hear , hear . ) If taxes were taken off fhe raw materials , thero would be more employ . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought the best way to abolish aristocracy amongst the trades was to equalise wages . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho trusted thoy would present unity of thought and of action , that a committee should be appointed to collect and publish statistics of the prevailing distress , that a reduction of the houra of labour should be enforced , and that a publio meeting , or some other important demonstration , should be made . ( Muoh applause ) Mr Fjbrdihando ( silk-weaver ) , said he did not agreo with the delegates , who censured railways . He thought they bad been productive of mnch good by employing labour , ( Hear , hear , ) Another delegate had said the present system of government was not

      calculated to benefit the people . Now he was as much in favour of Republican government as any man in that room , but he did not believe that any government would benefit the people , unless they were compelled . The present Whig governmenthad refused to see a deputation from the silk weavers . Free-trade had a most blasting : effect on tbe weavers of Spitalfields . He contended that no imports should be admitted , so long as there was a surplus in tbe country . He would like each delegate to impress his trade with a firm determination to compel the government to do ita duty ; and if they did not , never to rest _eatisfieduntil they bad one that would . ( Loud cheers . ) If the working classes once made up their mind to this step , they might then rest assured ' the day of redemption draweth nigh . ' ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr Isaac _Wilsou _" , ( shoemaker ; eaid , he did not think the resolution went far enough . He thought it useless to appeal to parties over whom they bad no control , —( hear hear )—and it was equally useless to discuss what duty had been takes of tbis or that particular trade , but it was very necessary that we should know how to benefit our condition . From his knowledge of trade societies , he was convinced that nothing could be done for them without they first possessed a direct controul in the affairs of government . ( Hear , hear . ) One would think the weavers had sufficiently solved that problem—( hear , hear)—to suppose that the government was not acquainted with our condition , was to suppose an impossibility . ( Hear , hear . ) The position we at present occupied , appeared ta hira exactly the position the government wished us to hold—( hear , hear )—but the events that

      have transpired in Paris , within the last fortnight , have taught us much . ( Loud cheers . ) He had asked Sir de Lacy Evans the other night , ' if the working classes did not pay all rates , rents , and taxes , ' but the general dared not answer his question . ( Hear , hear . ) Our case was a desperate one , and he much feared we should have to apply a desperate remedy . ( Hear , hear . ) He did think the time had fully arrived when we should declare that no permanent good could be done until we were all represented in Parlia ment , and having obtained this , they would be no difficulty in obtaining our social rights , whioh th e events iu Paris had fully illustrated —( loud cbeer ) —and the step further , he wished to take , was to demand representation in Parliament . ( Loud cheers . Mr Wilson concluded by moving a rider to that effect .

      Mr Rogers ( tailor ) suggested that the rider should form a separate resolution . Mr Luke Kino ( ladies' shoemaker ) said , he fully agreed with the rider . One of the delegates had recommended a reduction of taxation . Well , they had the duty off leather , and what were they the better for it ? ( Hear , hear . ) Another delegate had said , if they bad the Land , they would be as bad off as ever . But if representation and the Land went hand in hand , it would be found truly beneficial , and he was satisfied the first act of a Universal Suffrage Parliament would be to give the waste lands to the people , on which to employ the surplus labour—and then might they again say with the poet— ' Every rood of land maintains its man . ' ( Loud cheerB- )

      MrBARBKE ( typefounder ) supported the rider . He was satisfied the best way was to get a parliament ' that would take an interest in their welfare . ( Hear ) hear . ) The present government knew perfectly well of their distressed condition . Thousands ot poundB had been spent for returns , which had afterwards been disposed of for waste paper—and hence he said , let us go at once for Universal Suffrage . ( Cheers . ) After some remarks from Mr Chiko ( tin-plateworker ) , and Mr Hunt ( _cordwainer ) , and Mr Wilson , Mr Pebl ( of the United Trades ) said , as the rider had not been seconded , as the representative of 60 , 000 men , be would second it . ( Loud cheers )

      The Chairman said , he thought ij ; would be the duty of the Committee to . see the proposition which the rider embraced carried , and as all were taxed , ho thought no man could , in common fairness , deny that aU should be represented . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Dklaforcb said a few words in reply , and declared h _' lHiseH strongly in favour of every man being represented in parliament , but wished the rider to be put as a substantive resolution . The rider was for the time withdrawn , and the resolution carried unanimously .

      _ Mr Curtis ( upholsterer ) moved the second _reaolu . tion , for the appointment of a committee of twelve persons . Mr Holmes ( shoemaker ) , in seconding it , contended that -the present House of Commons did not understand our position , and hence the necessity of having one that did , and what we wanted must be done for and by ourselves . He thought the system that allowed thousands to starve because the queen did not patronise our fabrics , must be a bad one—nay , a ridiculous one . Why , his wife could wear silks , if she could get them , as well as any queen . ( Loud cheers . ) One of the objects—nay , tbe primary object—must be to demand the suffrage for the whole people . ( Loud cheers )

      Mr Black , ( carpenter ) had never fait more delighted in his life . Mr Ching seemed to have a wish to know what tbe delegates were . He begged to tell him that he was a Cbartist , and gloried in the name . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho was resolved at all meetings to press this question on it . It was useless to petition a government who knew nothing about us ; in fact , they were , as Feargus O'Connor so often said , as ignorant of our affairs _sb an Irish pig was of geometry . ( Laughter . ) He was ahio a disciple ofthe Land Plan , and believed under a universal suffrage regime they would find it exceedingly beneficial—they wanted Universal Suffrage—the key—and then the rest would follow , We are told that when the impeachment was presented Guizot laughed immoderately : when our bill of grievances ia presented , perhaps RuBsell would laugh immoderately—but if he did let him beware that he too waa not compelled to take himself off .

She hod since endeavoured with tho assistance of an invalid sister , to obtain a livelh hood by making up slop work for tho cheap tailors bnl the remuneration allowed for their labours wa _« _soscantv and Insufficient that they were scarcel y able _ihJ united exertions , to furnish themselves with the rW . of eilBtenco .
