      INFANTILE DISEASES REMOTED . r" hi * been well and truly observed that" he who makes two blades of grass to grow where but OEe grew before , is a real benefactor to his country /' C&a any eulogy , therefore , be too high for . that man , who , with the blessing of God , it enabled , every year of h' ^ life , te rescne many thousands of his fellow-creatures from an earlv grave ?

      USE ATKINSON'S INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE ! : ! Might be chalked upon every wall in totm or country ¦ , but as this Medicine ha * not attained it ' s celebrity ( a celebrity of Fifty Years standing , ) frem puffing of any descripdon , so neither does it seek to rest its future fame upon any other basis than tht simple fact that upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND BOTTLES of it are annually sold in Great Britain .

      For the prevention and cure of those disorders incident to Infant ? , it is a pleasant , innocent and efficacious Carminative ; intended as a Preventive against , and a Cure for , those compkiuts to which Infants are liable , as Affections of trie Bowel * . Difficult Teething , Convulsion ? , Ricieti , &c . and an admirable Assistant to Nature darins the progress of the Hooping Cough , the Measles , the Cow Pgx , or Vaccine Inoculation .

      The superior excellence of this Medicine , which can be attested by any respectable family in Manchester , has induced several unprincipled person ? , in various iarze towns ( particularly St . Helta ? , Dudley and Liverpool ) , to Tend a Counterfeit Jlecicine , with a copy of the Bill of directions , altboueh" the Proprietor is happy to say with very little f-ieces ? ; yet great injury , no doubt , to the suffering infants , asd no less pain te their anxious Parents , have been thus occasioned . To prevent which , and in order to obtain the Genuine Medicine , observe that each Bortie has upon the Stamp affixed over the cork , the name of " Robert Barker . No . 1 . Marketplace . Manchester , " enjraved thereon , by favor of Her Maiestv's Commissioners of Stamn Duzei . a

At the head of 1000 of tke people of Wigt ^ n he entered the small village of Aspatria , which had bu-en tix ^ d upon es the spot at which to ineeit the other delegates from the surrounding towns .

Every effort had « s usual been made to deter people from attending , and among other mear . s resorted to , was that of throwing out small slips of fia per from the mail coach as it passed along the ine of rond ; we picked up pome of tbese , and merely found the following words , " Dr .

      PENRITH DEMONSTRATION . The first Radical meeting ever held in this town , having been announced to take place oh Thursday last , ani to be attended by Dr . Jolm Taylor , much excitement prevailed in tke town among all parties . The shopkeepers did not shut their shops , however , but tbe magistrates called out the yeommry , under ( we believe ) Sir James Musgrave ; they refused , to allow the bell to announce tho meeting , and in ertry manner « nieavonred to prevent Hi taking place . No one was personally acquainted wit > i the Dr ., bnt true to his promise he arrived at six o'clock m the evening , and "was soon distinguished bv his hat and plaid . A band of music was in attendance to convey him to the Square , where a husting had been erected , arid where , in the course of au hour

      and a half , he did : mores to bfing the middle claa . ie * to a sen 3-i of their danger and tlieir it justice , than hi > 8 ever yet been effected , rivetted bimseli'in the affections of the Radicals , undfjavean impetus to the canse in Pc-niitb , which cannot but be productive of tb . e best results . A giant spirit prevails in this place , and is mainly to be attributed to tlu efforts of a generous hearted son cf £ uc , Mr . J > hn l- ' eltus , shoemaker , who , with a few choice spirits to back Lira , has bid defiance to all oppositijn . The meeting went off well ; one cawardiy vagabond gave a stout fellow half-a-crown to tear the Dr from the hustings ; but the man being a Radical ii ! his heart , handed in the money to the Committee , and the generons donor ' s health was drank at hi ^

      own expense , in a can of beer . Resoiutiets were pass _ d sixailar to those at Carlisle , and appointii ^ the Dr . their Delegate to the Convention .

      ¦—« gg » THE SOCIALISTS . The fnllvihg Address to Robert Owen has been present e d to that gentleman by the Members of the Social Congress , lately assembled in Binninghavi . Appended is Mr . Owens Reply . TO ROBERT OWEN ? THE FOUNDER OP THE RATIONAL SYSTEM OF SOCIETY . Rbvered and Beloved Father , —We , your affectionate Qiscipltf . thedelegates from the-branches cf the ' Association of all Classes of all Nations " and the ' National Community Friendly Society , " in fcunual Congress agseiubted , and who representVue sentiment * and ftelirgs of a numerous brotherhood throughout the United Kingdom , most fervently congratulate you on having -his day complettd your ( 5 Sth year , in the full possession of faculties which have made you the great benefactor oi the human race , by enabling you to discover , and , in the spirit of kindness ; md charily , per .-tveringiy to promulgate trj : h without mystery , mixture of error , or fear ol man .

      We rejoice , sir , that your life has been prolonged to wittness the result of your early labours in this grtatand glorious work , " in so far as that , whereas at the first propounding of your views respecting human nature and . society , you held them singly and alone , these views now number among their advocates the most enlightened minds in all rasks of society , and in every quarter of the globe . The grain of seed you have sown has become a great tree , atn * , ere long , we trust that all the nations of the earth will repose under its ample and friendly shade .

      It has been usual for us to commemorate the return of your natal day by one ol those festivals which were first instituted by you for t . he rational cultivation of the social sympathies and affections ; and , it is matter of regret to us that we have been unable to obtain the use ef 3 building capable of accommodating the numerous body of friends who would have deemed it their greatest pleasure to have attended such a meeting , to mark the high estimation iu which they hold the character of a man who has devoted hiuuelf and fortune to the-welfare of mankind , without distinction of sex , colour , class , country , or sect .

      Though this circumstance render * this meeting lssa numerous than it otherwise would have beeD , yet it doe ? not impair the depth of that affection which now fills every bosom present , and which we know pervades many an assembly throughout the length and brtadth ot the lund , now met to rejoice in the health , aud wish for the happiness and long Ufr , of their benefactor and t ^ eir friend . We have , sir , most r ; ra ; efu ! ly to acknowledge and record your manifold and unceasing exertions for

      the guidance and prosperity of our association during the past year;—your watchful care has ever been ready to preserve from danger—your profound and unexampled experience to guide through diffieu ty , and in addition , ycu have been almost incessantly engaged in various parts of the . kingdom , in delivering lectures , and discussing with the opponents of yonr principles , by which the influence ? f those principles hi s been extended , and tke number of your adherents greatly augmented .

      We feel , however , that the time has now come , when it is incumbent upon us to impress upon you the necessity refraining trow these jo irneyiugs and labours . However earnestly your di-- u p ! es raav desire to see and hear one so dear to them , we ft el that there are graver and more important object- * claiming your attention ; the attainment of which i « in ; re calculated to benefit us , aii j more in accordance with your advanced years . We allude to the necessity that you should be enabled to devote the requisite time to tbe completion of The Book of the New Moral World , and to the preparation of a history of your valuable and eventful life for publicatio

      n , in oraer th < u when you dep irt from unions us , and we see y . mr f ' -tce no mo . 'e , we may lay our hands ou the perfect picture of your ir . iiH , that through its medium yoa may still sjie ^ k the words of life , and guide us unto all the truth . Distant , far distant , be the day when this event shall shwd its gloom upon our ht-arts , and long may you continue atnone us to exemplify the loveliness and dignity to which human nature may attain , and to rttine and elevate wherever your influence extends . Thu consolidation of our great and growing association , and the pregressive advancement ot" society , require at your hands these boons , in addition to the many you have already conferred .

      It is the more gra : ifying to us to meet you on the prus'int occasion , considering that , within a few short mouths , arrangements now in progress will be crowned by the establishment of a mcdel community , wherein shall lie demonstrated the incalculable physical , intellectual , and moral advantages which must result from the realisation of your view ? . Our joy would be incomplete , indeed , if upon reaching the promised land , you , our benefactor and friend , were not there to share in its privileges and enjoyments .

      » ve feel that the richest return you can receive for all your exertions , will be to witness--the consummation of your labours , and the realisation of your hopes , and to rejoice in the contemplation of so many of your fellow beings made happy through your instrumentality . Nowhere could your tang and valuable life be so appropriately closed a 3 among a regenerated people , rrom whose dwellings want And strife were tamsWd , and whose serene and untronbled countenances wouW present an iedex of tbe peaceful and jnyous tninds , ereated by the new circuipsrancVH of rational society . Such would form a body of friends , alike suited to watch over your declining years , and to become the mourners over your tomb , when nature at last claimed her own , afld > ia the fulness , of time , you passed from among livipc , men .

That the same peace of mind and freedom from care , which you desire to be lot of all , may ever rest with you , is the sincere desire of your most affection ato . difciulea .
