      CHARTIST PILLS . IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED . MR . J > HOBSON , Northern Star Oflice , Leeds , having accepted the Wholesale and Retail Agenoy of those Pills , is authorised to give Twopence out of each is . 1 £ d Box , to be divided between the Executive and the Families of the Imprisoned Chartists . " .. ¦? . ¦'¦ . ; ¦¦ ¦ - ¦ ¦ /¦ : ; '¦ . ' -. . ¦ : ; : . ' ; . ; ' ¦ ' ¦ . The many Medicines lately offered to the public would have prevented the proprietor from advertising these Pills ( although cbnviuced of their efiicacy ) , did he not feel it his duty to give his suffering fellow Chartists an opportunity ( by their affliction ) to forward the causo of Democracy , and assist the families of their incarcerated brethren . To no one is health so important as to the Working Man , when deprived of it his means of subsistance are suspended and his sufferings aggravated by reflections on his poverty , and the helplessness of his family . These Pills are not put forth as a cure for all diseases , but their use will avert much of the illness usually affecting the Working Classes . The Proprietor has witnessed with pleasure their extraordinary efficacy in numerous instances of loss of appetite , head achv / , beart burn , palpitations of the heart , bilious and nervous diseases , pains in the stomach , and other symptoms indicating an imperfect action of the Digestive Organs . ; To those of sedentary habits whose trades confine them in an unwholesome atmosphere , and ; perhaps for hours together in a continued posturej thereby inducing habitual costivehess , indigestion , and nervous debility , they are strongly recommended and have been found of essential service , as they enable thesystemtp throw off those morbid aocumulations whieh occasion disease , at the same time strengthening and giving tone to the etomach , and invigorating the whole system , by these means establishing health on a firm foundation . Until Agents are appointed generally , those persons who wish to try them can receive a box , with ample directions , post-free ; by sending Fourteen Postage Scamps , in a pre-paid Letter , to Mr . J . Hobson , Star Office , Leeds . . Applications for Agency will be attended to , and the terms sent by return of Post , by writing either to Mr . Hobson , or to the Proprietor , Mr . T .

I immediately procured a box of Blair ' s Pills from Mr . W . Phillips , your agent in this town , aud after taking two doses I was free from pain , and tho swelling subsided . I now never fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painful toalady , and they invariably give me relief after bae or two doses . Several of my acquaintances use them , and experience the eiame benefit . I trust you will insert this among your list of cases , as I am anxious to bear witness to the efficacy of this excellent medicine . I am , Sir , your ' respectfully , 1 Richabd Stone .

The Lessons , in . this Work , are intended solely for the nse of natives . They are divested , therefore of all those hair ' s-breadthdistinctibBS and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only bp useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism which bave so Jong ensjurouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , areexchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . - ' - ; V \ " / - ¦ ¦ "" ¦¦¦•• ¦ . . ¦ ¦¦ ' ¦ '¦ ¦" . ' . ¦ " " : : : ' :- . ¦ ; ¦ ¦' : : ¦ ? ¦ .. '¦ ¦ " ¦ : ; In Syntax , the formation ^ of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of tho numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better than'a heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Use of this Book and its accompanying Exercises * any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten firoia ever acquiring aknowledgeof Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRE SS * Selected from a host of similar ones , may convey some idj ; a ; of the . publio estimation in which thia Work is holdeni— ¦ " Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered ^ Justly oondemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory , as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . . * It is but justice to him to say that , in a few- pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure ef the English language than can be found in some very elaborate works .

In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases wJiere other practititioners have failed , a perseverance ia his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure , r ; It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding poison is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effect a perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease , and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignor rant use of MeroHry and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by the circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the : skin , particularly tha head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurry , at another period producing the most ; violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheum Jtisra j thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of : life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance , : " ¦ ' ¦ .

      following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Truss : — * " That we are folly aware of the evil effects of the laws restricting the importation of food , and the other , unjust Iswa passed by Parliaments that have nsnrped the rights of legislating for the nation ; but It is further resslved that this meeting is of opinion it is useless to expect tbeir repeal from a Parliament founded on a property qualification , and based on less than Universal Suffrage , protected by the Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Districts , and Payment of Members .

      CARLISLE—TBirSfPH OF CflABTISH , AND CONCESSIONS OF THE ASTI-CORN LaW LEAGUE . — 2 f ever since the flirt visit of ilr . O'Connor to Carlisle , ¦ when the Chartist Association was ffcst established , did Chartism occupy so proud and elevated a position , as it does at the prestnt moment . For a long period we ¦ Were treated with scorn and contumely , our leaders reviled and misrepresented—and the * whole body charged with crimes and intentions ef the moat diabolical character . The poiice establishment was increased —watchmen were put on to protect property from the torch of the Chartist incendiary—the yeomanry cavalry ¦ were called out to ensure the peace and safety cf the town—the Mayor taking rt f age in the C lit ' e . lest he might be burned in his own house at midnight—modi

      proclamations were issued by the alarmed and stupid borough magistrates , making it something approaching to high treason for the villaBons Chartists to collect a few pence t * defend their persecuted and prosecuted friends . We were reviic-d and hated by t £ e middle claBsts , who took every opportunity of throwing discredit and contempt on our cause ; thty chuckled , demon-like , at the cold-blooded treatmect and unmerited sufferings of the people ' s best friends . In short , we were despised and degiaded—impudently insulted as spoliators and robbers . JBu _ t we drooped not under this load , of insult and persecution ; but with mein erect , and look severe , we pursued the even tenoi of our way , conscious ef the honesty and justice of the eiuse in which we were embarked ; nor have we ever

      allowed an opportunity to eacspa , when there was a chance of proclaiming the justness of our demands—OEtQ we have mads our enemies to quake with fear z \ fee ris 7 yMns effulgence of trnth and jnitiee ; aye . even the undaunted champion of the League—the powerfu ] and immaculate © eorge Thompson , has felt the potencj of our reasoning , though cl&a in simple and humble guise , compared with his matchless eloquence acd | jowerfal declamation , and has become an advocate foj toe Charter . Those who , some short time ago , despised and persecuted us , are now fast joining our ranks : hundreds are admitting the justness of our claims , and exprea themselves willing to join us in our righteous " warfare But under

      . even those cheering circumstances the people must be aware that no delusion is again prwtisea npon them by the middle classes . Lfctthem remember the treatment they met with at the hands of taiiaams middle class after they had assisted them to carry the Reform Bin . Since the return of the four anta-Corn Law deputies from London several meetings of that body have been held , at which they have expressed a strong desire to get np a public meeting , but some of them are afraid of opposition from the Ckarlasts ; othess are trilling and anxious to go for the whole Chartsr , seeing that there ii no hope for improvement bat in the adoption cf those principle * of whieh we have fceen iosg the huicble but ze&lotu advoctte * .

Mr . Tfaorne , having been called to the chair , read the placard calling the meeting , and hoped they would give every speaker a fair

      and impartial hearing . Mr . Clause , the Secretaiy , explained the reason tbe meeting on the previous week had not beexi held at the Knave of Clubs . Mr .

Wilson said the objections urged were frivolous and Ytx&taous ; tbe great body of the weavers were Chartists , and determined to maintain tbeir political opinions ; the Committee bad maligned them because they were not consulted and could nek reap a pecuniary benefit from ii Out of

      upwards of three hundred at the meeting , there were not , at tbe highest computation , more than fifty who were not weavers .

      PAXSIjEY . —Great and Glorious Triumph of the People akd Real Chartism over Middle Class , Sturge , and Humbug Chartism—Here , on Thursday evening , March 3 rd , a public meeting of tee inhabitants was held in tke Rev . Mr . Baird ' s Church , St . James ' s Street , the Lord Provost in the chair , for the purpose of effecting a union of the middle and working classes npon the Joseph Sturge suffrage plan of reform , when a great many of the middle-class men , and clergy of the town , backed by Provost Henderson , of Whig-Radical notoriety , appeared upon the platform ; before a g orious display of working men , -with a little sprinkling of the middle class , the place being crammed to suffocation . Of course the Provost was called to the chair , and the Chartists , in courtesy , offered no

      opposition , reserving their upright and manly decision to a more important occasion . The business of th « meeting was opened by the Bev . Mr . Kennedy proposing the first resolution , to the effect that prudent , active , and vigorous measures be taken to secure to the people a foil , fair , and free representation iu the Commons ' House of Parliament . The speaker laboured long and bard to convince the meeting-that-this was the soul of the Charter , the only difference , in his estimation , being that it wanted the name ; but the Chartists , ever awake to this species of cajolery , told him Beveral times that ' it would not do , Mr . Kennedy ; Clint is not our Charter ; we will not be satisfied with less than the six points . " The resolution was seconded by the Rev . Mr . Csims . one of the delegates to the late Corn

      Law Conference in London ; when lo ! to the astonishment of all present , the Rev . Patrick Brewsler came forward , and told Mr . Kennedy that he had created a man of ttraw , and had concluded his hour and a half ' s contradictions by giving his ghost of suffrage a kick , when he tumbled over , and was no more heard of . Roars of laughter followed this expression , with cries of " Yes , yes . " Brewster pleaded bis own cause nobly , reading a very severe and sarcatt ! c lesson to his brethren the clergy , and tbe middle-class men in particular , and concluded his able speech by moving , as an amendment "the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing but the Charter , " as our friend Mr . O'Connor has said , " snout , bristles , and al . " The working men were rather taken by surprise , as they bad an amendment the same in substance as Brewstor's ; but seeing that he was in the right track they gave way , and supported him . A Mr . Osborne seconded the amendment The

      Chairman put them to the vote , when a forest of blistered hands were held up for the amendment , and I am within the truth when I state that only forty were held up for the original motion . The Chairman declared the amendment carried by a large majority , wben three cheers were given for tbe Charter , three for the exiled patriots , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and last , but not least , three for the giant patriot , Feargus O'Connor . The working men of Paisley have nobly dona their duty on the present occasion ; after suffering the extreme « f destitution for tbe hut nine mouths , their devotion to the Charter of their liberty , amid all their seri « us calculations and dreary forebodings , really to say the least ot it , redounds to their honour , and deserves the thanks of the imperial Chartists throughout the empire . Farewell , then , and for ever , middleclass and clerical humbug in Paisley ! Tho people are resolved to stand or fall by the Charier I—Correspondent .
