By R . and L . PERRY and Co ., Corsultiko 5 urqeons | Leeds and Birmingham .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Ib a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaintB as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Sypolitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state . and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect ef other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty I How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , coTering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadfu evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to uccessful . It is for these cases Mes 3 Ts . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , arc affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness . &c . As nothing can be better adapted to htr and nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysterio complaints are gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price Us . each , or the quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 i ., by which one 11 s . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ., Surgeons , 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Observe , none are genuine without the signature of R . & L .

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . per box . ( Observe the signature of R . and L . PERRY and Co . on the outside of each wrapper ) are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for e ? ery stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhsea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They havo effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted "with Scorbutic Affections , Eruptions on any part of the hody , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal Taint , being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease ^ owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men ; who , by the use ot ilia-deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulcerations , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes oh the , shin bones . Ulcerated sore throat , diseased nose , with noctural pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings .

' .: The many Medicines lately offered to the public would have prevented tho proprietor from advertising these Pills ( aUhoMgh convinced of their efficacy ) , did ho not feel it his duty to give his snffering fellow Chartists an opportunity ( by their affliction ) to forward the cause of Democracy , and assist the families of their incarcerated brethren . To no . one is health so important as to tho Work'in » r Man , when deprived of it his means of eubsistance are suspended and his sufferings aggravated by reflections on his poverty ! and the helplessness of hiu family . ' These Pills are not put forth as a cure for all dissases , but their use will averfc 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 ache j heart burn , palpitations of the heart , bilious and nervous diseases , pains in the stomach , and other symptoms indicating an imperfect action / of ' the Digostiva Organs . To those of sedentary habits whose trades confine them in an unwholesome atmosphere , and perhaps for hours together in a continued posture , thereby inducing habitual costiveness , indigestion , and nervous debility , they are strongly recommended an < T have been ¦; tbund of essential setvioe , as they enable the system to throw off those morbid accumulations which occasion disease , at the same time strengthening and giving tone to the stomach , and invigorating the whole system , by these means establishing health on a firm fouudation .

MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCURVY , VENEREA 1 , OR SYPHILITIC DISEASES , BHEDMAXISU , AND NERVOUS OR SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . M , WILKINSON , SURGEON , &c . IS , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , ; Opposite East Brook Chapel , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a Beoret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of ; VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES ; Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and oh Sundays till two , —arid country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect euro is completed in one week , Mor no > charge made for medicine after that period , and in those oases where other practititibnera have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . ; : ' . ' ¦ ¦ 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 syatem 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 viotims to the ignorant use of Mercury 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 , tho whole frame beoomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period produoing : the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; 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 , arid 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 . Mr . W ;' s invariable rule is to give a Card to each of his Patients as a guarantee for cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or return his fee . / For the accorrimodation of either sex , where distance or delicacy prevents a personal visit , his PURIFYING DROPS , price 4 s . 6 d . can be had of any of the following agents , with printed directions so plain j that they may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bed-fellow . ¦' \ A ... ¦ .. '' They arg particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions ot a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his . existence , b ' y afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of the malignant tencJency , and a var iety of other complaints , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprridenee .

VALUABLE N 7 io | tk 8 i Just publishedi pri ^ : & , 12 tao . bdnhd in cloth , EIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ; for the use Of adult persona who have neglected the study of Grammar . BY WILLIA&t HILL . The Lessons , in this Work ; are intended solely for the U 8 e of natives . They are divested , therefore of all those hair ' s-breadth distinctions arid tumecesaary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all usetm , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parta 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 arid 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 fpiuy "¦' "•; ¦; : ' . /¦ ¦ . '<¦ -:: ' / : :: ' r \\\ : . .- " . •;¦ '• " ,: ¦ ..:- \ . . ''¦ " ' . In Syntax , the formation of the Ungiish Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the 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 or Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring aknowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Selected from a host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the publio estimation in which this Work is holden : — " 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 whioh it is encumbered . Justly condemning 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'la through ^ the ^ understandin g . . . . It is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure of the English language than can be found in some very elaborate workJ .

fiEtPAiT . —One meeting * in tins place fiTe ^^ tinned weekly , and , considering the deter ^^ j ^ Bitioa which we receive , our principles ' ^ uajang ^ -pid . progress . Some indivicuib are j xnlng onr society every week ; and thousands -who . stend apart froniua are deeply interested in ov ^ ^ ifore , and heartily praying for toe ultimate m& complete triumph of our measnrea orer both Vhig and Tory . The papers of Belfast which process to "be liberal are banded together to beat us do ^ wi—not by meeting our armaments , but by nlifying our our motives and pouring their vile vitupe-T&tions a /^ ainrt us , because -we ¦ will not descend from the Jeftj -position we now occupy , and nnite with them for a mere repeal « f the Com laws . We contend for the Charter , and nothing short of the Charterand
, hence those professed liberators of the people hold as un to public Tiew as the enemies of mankind , rebels against the Government , and disturbers of the peace of society ; -while the Tory papera use us as tools in their hand * to beat down the Whigs , and in a sort of illnsive gibing , represent the Chartists as being able to convert the Cera Law repealers to embrace the doctrines contained hi the People's Charter , which tie Tories Tory justly say , the Chartists " represent as containing more healing virtues thaa all the Whig-Radicals ever possessed , and better calculated to alleviate the distresses of th « mechanic and labourer than all the freetrade nostrums that had ever yet been propounded . " Thus it will be seen that we hare to contend every inch of advance ire make against the united opposition both
of Whig and Tory ; for it is clear that the object tit the Tories in giving us the preference to the Whigs is merely to show that the power of the Whigs is eo little that it is not able to stand the resistance of the Chartists , and therefore the aristocratic Tory faction have nothing to fear ; but the fact is they do fear us ; they feel the corruption in their own citadel , and . they behold their ranks thinning every day , and they perceive also that ours is constantly on lbs increase , and fill the \ mslie , eor-f osion ,- and bsxiter -wkicb they are at present making just reminds us of the cheek of consumption in a dying patient , it often flushes and looks healthful for a moment ; or it is rather like the powerful and convulsive pulsations of the heart , after every symptom of life has left the extremities . The class-legis
lators have lost the confidence of the people , and hence theymgeand famefromtaepress . theirfaeadquarters . and poor out their slander upon those who would instruct the people in the way of legally making themselves tLe supreme law-makers in our Commons' House of Parliament The Corn Law lUpealers advertised for a public meeting to beheld in the town of Newtownards , in the county Down , on the 21 st nit . This was the fix ? t meetting of the kind held in Ireland sinee Sir R . Peel introdueed his sliding scale . I repaired to the place of muster , and remained a spectator till their resolutions -were read and a petition moved and read , which was to be presented to the House of Commons by Sharman Crawford , Esq ., M . P ., praying the Government to blot
cms and for ever from the Statute Book cl England , all taxes upon f jod . Before this was put to the meeting frem the chair , I ascended the platform and requested shearing , but the Chairman and most of the platform gentry refused to suffer me to speak , although they had been railing all day against intoleration and all monopoly . I insisted upon having a hearing , and a very great bustle ensued ; the assembled multitude cried out " hear him , hear him I" I was , however , forced from the platform , and compelled to takomy stand on a let cf timber which was piled up on the side of the large yard where the meeting -was held . The whole multitude turned from the platform to hear what I had get to say , and left the platform gentlemen to carry their intended petition to the lower House , without giving
their consent or dissent to the measure . I commenced to shew the people the inefficiency cf a repeal of the Corn Liws to satisfy the distress of the nation . I read abstracts from the National Petition , and explained to them the nature of the People ' s Charter . I shewed tiem that a repeal of the Corn Laws only gave the people a small portien of that debt which the Government just ' y owed the people , and after a long address , ¦ which was received with avidity by all present ; I moved as an amendment to the business cf that day , " That the whele Charter be contended for bv the peeple , ana the National Petition adopted for signature , " and my amendment was carried nem . con . ; before I left the place , I received invitations to go to Bangor , Grey Abbey , and Postoferry , to give lectures on the Charter ,
and the whole people declared it to be the best measure which had ever been proposed for the good of the community . I entered into arrangements that day with the people of Newtownards to return to that town on Saturday ltist , the 5 th inst , to hold a public meeting , and take with me petition sheets to receive signatures to the National Petition . Reporters from the several papers of Belfast , were at t ^ e above meeting , and the Vindicator , which professes to be the most liberal , railed against me in a paragraph cf peifect libel , bat after considerable exertions on my part and the part of jny fr iends together with the fear of a prosecution for iibelj the Elilor published a letter of mine last Wednesday week , contradicting the false statements contained in his journal of that day week . I went to
Newtownards , on tast Siturday , according to appointment . J was a stranger and alon * -, and the authorities combined to prevent me from . holding a public meeting , hut I persevered , and in defiance of all opposition , I did hold the meeting , and this was the first public meeting ¦ which has been held in the North cf Ireland , . except our weekly meetings which are always open to all . After my return from Newtownards , I wrote the following letter to the Editor of the VixdiccJor , bathe refused to gire it insertion in his columns , and I went io the office and requested my mancsOTpt to be returned from the file of his dead letters . - I hereby send it to you just as I sent it to him , and request its insertion . After this the public will sea how the liberals of this place treat us ;—
To the Editor of the Findicalor . Sir , —In compliance with the request of the people of Kewta-wnards , after the Anti-Corn Ja'W meeting held th&ra on the 21 st ulL I went to tbat town on -kst Satnr * ay , and having , previous to that t me received a letter from Mr . Matthew Slayer informing me that my " address on last Monday week had been misrepresentsd and my motives belied to a wonderful extent If ot only the papers but the toagnesof envy and slander had been very busy ever since , and he concluded therefore that I could not obtain a peaceable and respectable hearing ; " and , said he , " I am credibly informed that if you would come \ o harangue the people , the police have orders ti reprehend you . " \ i consequence of this 3 ir . Maycs refused to take any part in convening ¦ a public meeting .
I . however , on Saturdaylast . repairedtoNewto - sraards , went to the bellman , engaged him to give publicity to my intention tf holding a public meeting ic the Martet-Eqa .-i . re , precisely at f f tit o " cloc > . I had made all toe preliminary arrangements which I considere grant m& any protection , and told me that ; he would tike caret ? " have sonid peraon there to ¦ wsi ; h what 1 would say , and if I should commit myself he would immediately hold me resnonsible . "
While the bellman was publishing the meeting , the police authorities came asd told him that he was acting illrsaUy , and rt . qaeft ? d him to appear in the effiee cf Irord Londocfierrr . In one hour's notice , I went vxth him . and some discussion ensued , which ended in jny unalterable drtercninafon xt h * ld a public meeting in the Market-square , at four o ' clock , and if tits meeting should torn oui to be illegal , I was willing to abide by all the consequences . About ten mir utespast four , multitudes cf people from all quarters cf the town began to assemble themselves in the Market-square , and some individual -whom I know not , kindly provided me vrith a large table , on which I placed myself , and began my address fey solieitinz the assembled multitudes to tehave themselves
"WTtn becoming decorum , and listen to me till I had toSLtbem of some of the grievances under -which the people laboured , and if I should differ from any individual present , in my descriptions tf "Ireland ' s -wrongs an 4 . the remedies for Tedr-ssing those frrongs , ** I wouul then patiently hear the objection < f such individual and then reply to his sp ? ech , and put , it to the vote of the people who was coitsidered . more correct , me or my opposer , and should the people decide against ine I would silently ank feto the minority . In the comss cf my address I stowed the people that we , < the . people , o ! Ireland ) laboured under mistaken notions of the creat mass of the English people , and often charged the whole of the English people with a crime -whfch -was perpetrated only by the privileged order of tbat people ; and that in carrying into effect those lairs -which taxed tbe food npoa tse consjrmers , sad all tbe oihei hod laTTS Under which the naticn groaned , they -were aided and abettsd by the aristocracy of our own laad .
and that it was therefore unjust to charge the -wbols people of England with the infamous deeds cf a , f = w individuals , who eared no more for the misery of the mechanic and labourer of England than they did for the fame order of individuals in our own count-y . I Eto-sred them also that it was the determination of the great majority of the English people t © aid and assist their Irish brethren , in carrying into a law those mea sures which would give Ireland her rights as well as Ec ^ land her righ ts ; and I showed them that Diniel O'Connell at a recent meeting in the Corn Exchange , Dublin , had advocatad Manhood Snffrage , and other four points of the Charter contended for byihe English radicals , which would most unequivocally induce honest measures from our legislature . To be brief , I contended for the people to have the supreme power in appointing members to represent them in the Commons' House of Parliament , and to make those laTsby which the whole empire was governed .
1 will not . intrude farther , because the limits of a kt : * r would not contain a tithe of the address which I delivered . I spoke upwards of two hours and was received with rapturous applause . I read the ' . National Petition , which was adopted for signature , and hundreds volunteered to sign that Petition . In short , the people of Newiownards evinced a manly and heroic determination to have-Ireland her rights in despite of all the macainatioas of Tory despotism and aristocratic bigotry . . - . ¦ After I had concluded , I challenged discmsion , and no person seemed disposed to dispute eught I had advanced . I then concluded by putting it to the vote

DUBLIN . —Irish Universal Suffrage Association . —At the usual meeting on Sunday week , Mr . Rafter in the chair , the venerable chairman , ( who may be justly entitled the Nestor of Chartism in Ireland , ! observed that il waa with great delight he presided over them on tbe present occasion . When all looked gloom and difficulty , he and a few others had endeavoured to keep alive the embers of true liberty in their city , which had been nearly extinguished by the venal breath of time-serving and place-hunting demagogues . That smouldering tire had since been fanned into a flime at once bright , intense , and increasing , by the energies of their worthy , prudent , Mr . O'Higgins Many of those who had come to revile , to mock , and sneer , had their convictions reached , and
understandings pierced by the arrows of truth in that room ; and , however unpleasant and painful the friendly wound at first , they had found that Chartism was the true political inoculation , which would prevent society from suffering under the dangerous virus of faction , and bearing on its countenance the foul stains and indentions of unreasoning partizanship . ( Cheers . ) He had also to congratulate the meeting on having secured the valuable services of Mr . Dyott as their secretary—( hear , hear , and cheer ? . ) Tbat gentleman was now well known to them , and equally well known to their enemies—( hear . ) He did not merely confine himself to the reutine business of his office ; but when occasion demanded , he feared not to enter the lists with the political Goliaths of the Cam Exchange . The Lord
Mayor ' s clerk , and hi 3 " head pacificator , " had lately heard from him in a manner they would not readily forgive , or lightly forget—( hear , hear . ) He need not enforce upon them the necessity of decorum and order ; they had got a sounder political training than , to interrupt any gentleman , whether he differed from them or not—nor would they lend themselves to the disgraceful violence resorted to by their " non-physical" force assailants—( hear . ) After the minutes had been read , and several new members admitted , Mr . Dyott , in an eloquent and powerful appeal , drew their attention to the late brutal proceedings of the deluded Irish Repealers in Manchester , who are paid blood-money by the Com law leaguers , to attack' and murder the Chartists . Three hundred of them , armed withironciow «
bars , hatchets , bludgeons , and paving Btones , in compact and captained order , had fallen on a dense and unarmed crowd , severely injured Mr . O'Connor , mutilated the Rev . Mr . ScholeSeld , and dreadfully injured numerous others of the Chartist party Here was physical force with a witness ! Will that indescribable nondescript , Tom Steele , now denounce his brother pacificators for their bloody intentions and deeds ? Not he , indeed ! What will Mr . O'Niell Daunt say to this attempt at massacre ? Not a word . Will Tom Arkins glory in the fact that it was a cast clothes man who headed the onslaught ? To be sure he will ! How could a Repailer do wrong , and * f what value were the lives of poor Chartists ? He concluded by submitting the following resolution to the meeting : —
" That we , the members of this Association , have heard with less of turprise than indignation of the recent murderous attack on Feargus O'Connor , E « q ., and the Chartists of Manchaitar . For the wretched agents in thi . i disgraceful affair , we express pity and sorrow ; we blush at the fact , that the majority of them are Irishmen , and deplore the besotted ignorance in which they must be steeped when they thus blindly raise their hands against their true friends , the advocates of the rights of labour , and the assertora of the political and social privileges of the poor , and we hereby offer our strongest sympathy and support to the numerous victims suffering through the ignorance , and by tbe violence of our misguided contrymen . " Mr . O'fiiggins seconded the resolution . After Mr . Dyott ' s
speech , he had only to ask them if a few Englishmen had attacked the repealers' idol thus in the Corn Exchange , what -would have satisfied his adherents?—im molation , and nothing short of it , of their assailants . Had the Chartists arisen in their mieht , what would have become of thehandful of repeal ruffians ? But notwithstanding the lying caiumuies ef their enemies , the followers of Mx . O'Connor -were better instructed and more rear Eonable than their ignorant and vicious tradacers . The resolution was carried by acclamation . Mr . O'Connell ( not Dan ) made a very sensible and fluent speech ; he said , as a working man , he had the best opportunity of observing the current of the common people ' s thoughts , and he could assert , from experience and observation , that the people were now pre-disposed to adopt the Charter . It was like the temperance movement , they looked on it first with
suspicion , because it did not proceed from their immediate leaders ; but the moment one in whom they had confidence took it up , it progressed with miraculous speed . The Irish acted more from impulse than reason . They were more volatile than reflective ; bat as reading was diffused , thinking would become general ; and when they would think , he had sufficient reliance on the good sense of his countrymen to believe that they would think justly and adopt as true tbe principles which gave every man the birthright of freedomieheers . ) After several other excellent observations from several members , the Chairman - received the usual vote ef thanks , and the meeting adjourned till the 10 th of April , in order te allow the more religiously inclined au opportunity of closely attending to their religions duties flaring the residue of this ulemn season .
TRTJRO , Corn-wall . —This locality has sustained a loss in the services of it j active and zealous secretary , Mr . Longmaid , whose consistent adherence to the Charter , as the only efficient remedy for national evils and eschewiDg of Whig nostrums , has marked out as an object of persecution by the liberal middle classes—the parties with whom Messrs . Philp and Co ., would now unite the people—that he is compelled to leave the neighbourhood in quest of employment elsewhere . Mr . E . Howe , of No . 1 , Castl » -street , Traro , has been appainted secretary , to whom all communications must hencefoith be addressed . PATiKKITH . —Mr . Lowery lectured in the Freemasons' HUl , on Monday in last week , on the necessity of union between the middle and the working classes .
BANNOCK BURN . —The National Petition was adopted here at a public meeting , on Wednesday in last week . The Scotch Petition was proposed for adoption . In the discussion , eloquent and convincing speeches were made in support of the great National , by Messrs . A . Dancan and Jenkins . The National w ? b carried almost unanimously . SHEFFIELD . —At a public meeting on Monday evening in last week , after the unanimous adoption of Etrong resolutions on the subject of the Manchester outrages , and Mr . Harney ' s leuer to the Chartists ef Sheffield , and Mr . Otley ' s reply were read , the
fjllo-wicg resolution was moved by Mr . Edwin Gill , seconded by Mr . Evisson , and carried unanimously — " Teat this meeting having beard Julian H : irney ' s letter to the Chartists tf Shtfiirild , and Mr . O ' . ley ' s reply thereto , and considering the charges that have been slanderously circulated against Mr . Harney , are contemptible , because ucfjttnded and untrue , we hereby express our perfect confidence in that gentleman , hoping he -will pursue the same consistent course he has hitherto done for the attainment of the rights of the people , and we pledge ourselves , that while he agitates for the Charter and nothing less , to support him , despite of open enemies or coveit foe ? . "
BIRMINGHAM . —Delegate Meeting . —At a mseting i . f the council tae following resolution was usaninicu ^ ly agreed to : —Resolved , " That a delegate meeting of tue trades in Birmingham .

" Brethren in political bondage , the time is at last corns when it behoves you and every lover of his country ti stand forward and aid in rescuing the land of his With from degredation and ruin . A nation that could once boost of being ' the admiration

At the late meeting in the Town Hall , ten thousand -working men declared themselves Chartists , and if public opinion is so favourable to our views —and we know that nothing can be done without unity —we hope that yon will use your utmost exertions to unite with the men who have laboured so long and so hard ra the cause of liberty , and who are determined , so long as public opinion sanctions their conduct , to stand by them for the Peoples Cnarter to the last Fellow working men , in 1832 you made the
