      DEATH FROM WANT . The following depositions , taken before onoof the Coroners for Berkshire , at Donoington , on the 7 th instant , contain the history of one of tho 3 e affect inpr oases which more , perhaps , than any others , exemplify the indtscriminating harshness of the Poor Law . The unfortunate subject of the inquiry appears to have been a man of good character , aud of laborious industry , whenever bodily infirmity admit- , ted of his being employed ; but although disabled by long illness from earning enough to support , existence , his applications for relief were uniformly , except in one instance , met with an . order for the workhouse . In the one instance which forms the exception , two gallons of bread were given for him self , hit wife , and two children . The poor man , although worn down by suffering and want , with the feeling bo general among the peasantry , was unwilling to become a prisoner in the workhouse , and patiently bore the miseries of a life eked cut by a little bread and water , until exhaustion , or as the Jury more properly found , " starvation , ' terminated his existence . The depositions are as follow : — Hannah Alder sworn . —The deceased , William Alder , was my husband . We had been married fire years , and have had two children ; the youngest is eleven weeks old . My husband had complained of belag ill for more than a twelvemonth , particularly of his back . He had been lame from his childhood . He had only done a fortnight ' s work for the Summer , being so ill . He did one day's work about sis weeks ago , for which ho received a shilling , and that was the last time he went to work . Having a young child , I was not able to do any work mystdl by goiug out . My husband went to the relieving officer for relief three or four times during the last six weeks , but was refused . He went again last Friday ( October 1 ) , and then got an order for two gallons of bread . On Tuesday last ( October 5 ) I went to the Board of Guardians and received an order for all of us to go into tho Union-bouse on Saturday next ( October 9 . ) All the relief we have had during the summer was that granted on Friday last . We have been greatly distressed all the summer . He told mo that when he applied for relief be stated the distress of his family , but waB refused relief . For a long time past we have had scarcely anything to support us but what was given us by our neighbours . For a long time the deceased and myself have lived on bread and a little salt , sometimes a little sugar , having boiled water poured on it ; and of that we have not had sufficient . Till last night my husband had been much as usual , and died to-day about halfpast four o ' clock . her Hannah x Alder . mark . Taken and sworn before me , John Alexander , Coroner . Hannah Tidcombe , sworn—I live at Donning ton , and am a widow . The deceased , William Alder and his family lodged at my house for about six months past . Alder had often complaiued of illness . He was of a contented mind , and did not complain , although he had nothing to eat bat bread with boiling water upon it . He ought to have had a better living , but could not get it . I am quite sure the family had not sufficient food to eat . The neighbours 6 oatetimes assisted them . The relieving officer never came to the house to see them . He got up this morning about eleven o ' clock , and waeseizad with cold shivers . We afterwards got him up stairs , and he died about half-past four o ' clock . I have often heard his wifo complain that-they had not necessaries . It is my firm belief that William Alder would not have died so soon , had he had proper necessaries . Ho was nearly starved . her Hannah X Twcombs . mark . Taken and sworn before me , John Alexander , Coroner . Mary Maskell , widow , sworn—I live at Donnington , near to Mr 3 . Tidcombe , where William Alder lodged . He was about forty-eight years of age . He had been lame ever since he was three years ofage . I went to see Alder to-day about twelve o ' clock , and found him very ill . He died a little after four . His wife was confined about eleven weeks ago , and the family wero almost in a state of starvation . The family were very badly off , and it has been the common talk of tha village for weeks and months past that they were nearly starved . her Mahy X Maskell . mark . Taken and sworn before me , Jobs Alexander , Coroner . The Coroner , after explaining the law to the jury , read the evidence to them , and directed them to consider of their verdict . Without hesitation the jury made up their mind to give the verdict , ** Death by starvation . " The Coroner again explained the law to thorn , and said , according to the evidence they could hardly be justified in finding each a verdict . Whereupon they reconsidered their verdict , and at the suggestion of the Coroner , they returned the unanimous and very proper verdict , " That William Alder , on the 7 ch of October , at the pariah of Donningtou , in the county of Berks , died from natural causes , but that his death was accelerated , which they desiro to express as their deoided opinion , by the want of the common necessaries of life .

      CANCER , SC 1 RRHUS , TUMOUR OF EVERY ¦ VARIETY , FISTULA , &o ., &o . Suc&ssfuUy treated without ihe we efthe Kn \ fe . A LL Scrofulous diseases and every other form of A . malady which resist the common or regular methods of treatment are also effectually oured by J . L . -Ward , professor of Medical Surgery , 18 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds , and 1 , Liverpool-street , Oldfield Road , Salford , Manchester . Notwithstanding that extraordinary efforts are how being made to inspire the public with confidence in tho established modes of medical practice , and that numbers of the afflicted are thereby deceived by interested and designing parties ; it is a fact well known to the intelligent portion of the community j that tbe science of mediciuo has been hitherto inadequate , difficult , and contradictory . It therefore follows as a consequence , and is equally evident that tbe practice of Surgery is not only inv . ffiiient , but from a d * p \ oxable ignorance of remedial agency has become reduced to a system of mere mechanical contrivances and expedients , which instead of affording relief , enormously increase the evils thatafflotsociety . This is shown by the practice of medical magnates in every quarter , whose " operations , ' especially in Cancer , are of such a nature , that it has become of more importance to rescue the unfortunato sufferers from their knives , than even from the ravages of disease ; Iu the treatment of the above maladies , Mr . Ward ' s system forms as deoided a contrast , to that humbug quackery , called " keening , " as it does to the knife , being founded upon the true Analogigal , as well , as Pathological Principles of Medical Sukgebv , embracing thereby a varied and extensive combination of remedial agents , which removes every form of malady without caustics , cutting , ox even causiug loss of blood , . and offering to all who make a timely application a safe , easy , and effectual ours , as also to those whose constitutions may have been shattered by disease , or mal-treatment , the only rational hope of relief . The following cases and cures have been selected from a great number as references , and will be regarded as go many proofs , not only of the preeminence of Mr . Ward's professional ability , but also as an exposition of the Ignokahcb and Quackert of those Requlab Practitioners , whose medical knowledge just consists of the absurd theories and defective modes of practice taught at the schools , and will also be found a sufficient answer to all who believe in the College and tho Grinder as the only , pure , efficient , and legitimate source of medical information . Sarah Horsfield , Illingworth Moor , Ovenden , at the age of 19 , had her left breast cut off for Cancer , October 30 tb , 1830 , at the Halifax Dispensary . She applied to Mr . W . ia January , 1831 , being in great distress , ; the disease having returned in the right as well aa . in the left breast , and her system so shattered from the operation , that when she endeavoured to walk she leaned to the left side half bent to the ground , and was in such a deplorable state that she frequently fell into swoons , every one of which was expected to be her last , and had violent palpitations of the heart , with other symptoms which indicated a broken up constitution . She was sooa relieved from this dreadful state by Mr . W . ' b Medicine , and the disease removed by his usual methods , performing a cure , and leaving the right breast perfect and tree from the malady , which remaios 60 to the pr < sent time . A splendid cure was also performed on Mrs . Priestley , Edgo End , Ovenden , in 1834 , who waa afflicted with a Canoerons Tumour of the breasJ , which was au enormous sura , after it had defied the iffurts of the most eminent of the Halifax Doctors . Mrs . Murgatroyd , Little Horton , near Bradford , who was cured of Cancerous Tumour of the breast seven years ago , is also wishful to be referred to . Mrs . Siddy , 23 , Portland-street , Ncwtown , Manchester , aged 62 , had aa increasing Tu moor m one of her breasts for siz years which has -lately been removed root and branch , and is preserved - to be seen by one who may call ttpon her . . The following are further illuatatioaa of the efficacy of Mr . W . ' s modes of cure : — "Mrs . Thompson , Patricroft , wife of Mr . Thompson , overlooker on the Manchester and Liverpool Raif way , was afflicted for nine years with an increasing tumour in one of her breasts , which was at times very painful ; and having known of many dreadful consequences of catting and 'keening , ' she suffered great uneasiness of mind , not Knowing where or whom to apply to . Having knownof the great celebrity of Mr . W . 's late father in Dumfries , but especially in the oure of these diseases , she most readily availed herself of Mr . W . ' s first visit to"Manchester , about three years since , and \ va 3 imraedi-&tely put under such treatment that renovated her health , and dispersed this formidable tumour without even breaking the skin . ' /' "Mrs . Maria Cope , Lor aax-street , Great Ancoatsstreet , Manchester , was afneted for three years with a tumour in one breast , which had , daring that period , growa to a great size , and at times gave much pain . It was also dispersed , by the power of remedial agents , without incision or breaking tho skin . " Bronchocele or Soft Tumoub op the Neck . — An amiable young lady of a highly respectable family in the county of Carlow , Ireland , who had very delicate health from childhood , and afflicted with the above complaint , with great oppression at tho chest , feeble pulse , cough , and indi £ * si ; ien , came to Saiford eomo time since , and was placed tinder Mr . W . ' s professional care , by a brother-who is an eminent medical character , after he had first satisfied himself , of tho efficacy of Mr . W . ' e thorapeutics . Her malady had resisted all kuown remedies aad plans of treatment under medical practitioners of the highest celebrity . Since her return home , she writes as follows : — " I fee ! much stronger and better than ever I felt in mylife . . Send ma soma more pills , they have been ef very great use to my .. Bfo ' mioh . " Her father at . the same time writes thus : — " -Dt ' at Sir , It must bo gratifyiug to you , as it is a , cause of thankfulness to my daughter and myself , to bo able to say that a manifest improvement has taken place , not only ja her general health , but in the lump that was the immodiate object of your attention , being considerably lessened . I trust thac the improvement will still continue under your caro , and that you wiil send her a , fresh supply of your medicine , " &c—On application to Mr . VY . the original may ua seen . Many cures of Cancer of tha Tongue can also be referred to . Mr . John Wood , Gomersal , near Leeds , had an operation pesiorEaed on his tongue , which only increased this dreadful disease , ilia cure was effected in a short time , and is of four years' standing . Mr . W . ' s days of attendance are every Tuesday in Leeda , and 'laureday and Friday , a : Ho . 1 , Liverpool-street , Oldfield Road , Salford .

      manner that would best promote the success of the cause . Spoke of their borough ; said the Cartists have had to endure the persecutions of their enemies ; that their society has been re-organised ; that at present they are unable to support the Executive , but they Bhculdjoln the National Charter Association . Speaking of the Christian Chartist Church , the address said they 8 iw bo reason why the Associations should be set aside for the institution of a Christian C ' aaittet Church . Msbe ( Wilts ) complained of disappointment in not having beard a lecture from Mr . doer ; the people in that neighbourhood are eagerly seeking knowledge , without having any one to communicate information to them . If Mr . Ciuur bad attended it would have been the meaas of gaining many to tha Chartirt ranks .

      Sallsbuet complained of tbe want of a lecturer ; wished tha * Mr . Vincent bad come there ; said they knew of no person that wool < J ba so well received , except Mr . O'Connor ; spoke of tbe great distress existing amongst them ; the farmers were inquiring about politics generally ; answered , by telling them that the only means by which their distresses can be removed Ib by joining the National Caarter Association . Waeminstek , complained of distress amongst all classes , urged tbe necessity of getting the petition well signed , and extending the National Charter Associ&tion . Monckton Deyerell , great distress ; young men working for four or five shillings p « r weefc . Lord ' Ashburton pulling down the houses , thereby driving tbe people out of the country or into the Poor Liw bastiles . Westbury notable to send delegate , glad tbe meeting -would take place ; hoped it would advance tbe cause ; wished for a missionary ..

      Abergavesntt -wished for a missionary ; getting on comfortably , though suffering persecution : had supported the Executive , and were willing to do more . Bleakwood , few in number as yet , wished for an able miss ' onary ; the people were ripe for improvement . If Mr . Vinceat came here he would be well received , as he is both known and respected . Caudtff regretted inability to send a dalegate ; wants a missionary and a reom to meet in ; advises the calling of public meetings for the petition , &c Newpoki recommenUiDg agitation , about to Start a lecturer conversant with the English and Welsh languages ; hopes the petition will be well distributed ; an enthusiastic feeling prevails . Mbp . thyb Tydvjl nnable to send delegates .

      Tkuro highly approving of the objects of meeting , thanking tbe Executive for their suggestions . Loctnrer wanted ; n statement of progress in various towns . Northern Star taken 100 feet below the surface . Joint stock company farming . Milkshah unable to send delegates ; Cluer ' s lecture done good , had opened a reading room and discussion class .

      STATEMENTS OF THE DELEGATES . The delegates then made tbe following statements : — Mr . Milsom , of Cheltenham , said tha cause was progressing welL The Chartists were triumphant in numbers and attendance . He conceived the National Charter Association to be the cause of reaction ; there were many Chartists in Cheltenham who approved ef Lovett and Collin's organization , and deemed the spirit in which they bad been assailed illiberal and unjust . The members of the National Charter Association had always treated them with respect , and could always command their assistance and co-operation . There was not a better Chartist to be fonnd than Mr . Hullis

      he was an admirer of Lovett , bat rendered ready assistance to those who differed from him . At present there were 120 membtrs enrolled in the National Charter Association . Chartism prevailed to a great extent , and Whfgs and Tories combined were not powerful enough to combat with them ; they ( the Chartists ) had recently defeated many of their factions meetings . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Winchcombe and all tbe surrounding places required lecturers ; Stroud aud Bussage were in a most impoverished oonditlon , and lecturers must be provided who would perform arduous duties fa ; moderate salaries . In the town of Tewkesbnry , grtat g » od conld be done if properly agitated , and Cheltenham , Bath , and other large places ought to assist the poorer and weaker districts . ( Cheers . )

      Sir . Babileti , of Bath , would call the attention of the delegates to the position ot the Chartist body in tbe city which he bad the honour to represent . It was an aristocratic city , but tbe middle classes were not so dependent upon the aristocracy as upon tbe working people , and therefore they were now liberal In thutr politics . Chartism , therefore , Btood well in Bath . Too ranch attention had been paid to the large towns . Trowbridge was a prosperous place , but Holt , Wiasley , &c . were in need of assistance , yet were neglected . JIuch was required In the agricultural districts ; the labourers were ignorantand sided with the farmers . Mr . Vincent could do great good , and he thought would be better employed in tbe West than in Scotland , yet men of m « re humble abilities were better suited to

      address tbe ienorant agricultural labourers . H « ( Mr . Bartlett ) regrelted the divisions that existed in the Chartist ranks . Many had held aloof from them , in consequence of tke violent denunciations of the ** New Move . " H 9 believed Mr . Lovett was actuated by "x pure motive ; he thought , however , be ( Mr . Lovett ) had acted wrong in not submitting bis plan to the Executive , but now we must unite and join heart in hand to gain our rights . They bad successfully opposed enemies in meetings , not by noise but argument Let ns tnrn ovt Attention to the means by which we can siid the out districts . He was of opinion the appointment of lecturers was of the greatest importance , ant the more prosperous towns should aid those poor villages where the people are unable to raise funds . ( Cheers . )

      Mr . Charles White , of Frome , said they could scarcely keep the cause going . Many disappointments caused by con attendance of lecturers tended to their injury . If missionaries could be procured , great good would be done ; he regretted divisions . He thought Lovstt & Hetheringfcon were wrong in tbe manner in which they had brought forward their plans . The spirit was good in Frome ; many of tbe middle classes were favourable to our cause . The members enrolled were but small , but tt ey were about to form classes , by which they hoped to extend . ( Cheers . )

      Mr . Gordon , of Bradford , said in bis district th * y were doirg better than a snort time ago . The spirit is beginning to revive ; the middle classes were beginning to Bee they must bo Chartists—that they have no other hops : Chartism amongst them was that of conviction . If a lecturer could be obtained , great good would be done ; it was no use to be afraid of the masters , they conld do nothing if the men were determined and unanimous . Many of tho working people were earning no more than 2 s . 4 < I and 2 s . 6 d . per week , and great numbers were driven to the Poor L * w bastiles . If the petition was numerously circulated , great good would be done . iCheeri )

      Mr . Witts , of Wotton-nnder-EJge , said tbat Chartism had prevailed to a great extent , but through persecution and other causes , the people had become apathetic . A great mauy were out of work , but notwithstanding , Wickham , Sudbnry , Dewsbury , and other places , would be of great assistance if properly agitateJ . The person engaged as a lecturer ought to be independent of masters and manufacturers , supported by a genera ! fund . He regrette : ! there was no delegate from the important town of Cirencester . Ha had visited tbeir room , and was astonisbed to witness the respectability of those present . Tbere was no man who advocited th 9 cause with more zeal and discretion than ilr . Buchan . Men of good character ought to be selected to address meetings . Our enemies wore ready to raisa prejudices , and vices were magnified to an enormous extent All men were entitled to their riehts

      without reference to character ; but the advocates of any cause should stand high in moral integrity . With regard to leaders ; some must take the lead , and these muat be discreet and intelligent men ; they should be careful not to be divided and disunited , for it has a tendency to divide the people . Wottoa will do its ulniost for a lecturer ; they are opposed to mixing up Christianity with Chartism . In Wales the peoplu labour uudtr difficulties with regard to the means of procuring Chartist publications ; this is not the C 3 se with them ; but he woalil advise that Chartist- missionaries take tracts and distribute tham amosg the agricultural population in Gloucestershire . There were now thirty villages that had never heard of Chartism ; be thought the £ O places should be visited . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . J . Haswell , Trowbndge , said be was happy to say tbat Cnartism was the reigning principle there ; in proof © f which , he could ista ' . e that no party can holii meetings without the consent of tha Chartists . He said it wouid appear , from a letter which bod been read , that Chartism was going down ia Tro-vbrid ^—that a few boys and girls controlled tho whole £ . ff ;\ ir ; this , he said , was false . He would ask Messrs . Philp anil Ciarke if the meeting which they attended on Wednesday night was composed of bojs and girls—( hear , hear , from Mr . Philp )—whether that meeting was

      composed of thinking men and women , or not ? He said the fact was , a party of professed Christians hat ! sprang up ia Trowbridge , wbo were csnstantly soivius divisions , and endeavouring to undo ail that had previously been done by tbe Trowbridge friends , at the exper . ee of time , trouble , and persecution ; and tht most remarkable feature in their endeavours was , thai they were constantly assailing , with the name of infidel , all those who conscientiously differed from them , whilst their every public action was a practical denial of tbe sublime principles ef the Christian religion . ( Hear , b « ar . )

      Mr . W . F . Simeox , of Bristol , said that Chartism was progressing in Bristol : things appeared better now than they did three months ago . Amongst them the faait did not belong to what are called tbe leaders , but to tbe people . Men of abandoned charac ter bad been tbe means of creating divisions : they bad sent for National Association cards , and thereby had earned a split ; indeed , this may be done at any place , unless meats aie resortedto for its prevention . Availing themselves of

      the provisions of the Nation il Plan , the Bristol people have made bye-laws , to tbe effect that no individual be allowed to become a member withont having first been proposed and seconded by twe members of the association . By these laws we shall be able to keep out al . those who have no objection to belong to ns when we ha ppen to be prosperous , with nine or ten pounds hi hand . Lectures will do no good in Bristol . We wa ? it pubiie demonstrations , and these will be the means cf leading the way for tbo delivery of lectures . Who : ; lectures are announced , the people look upon it as a

      Untitled Article

      sort of dry intellectual afeir , and will not attend , but if we announce a pnbllo meeting it is at once attractive ; the people attend and the meeting will pay . The Chartists of Bristol are opposed to the mixing up of teetotalism or any other ism with Chartism ; the necessity ot not allowing Christianity to be mixed up with Chartism must be evident Our enemies are united ; they are called Whigs and Tories , and they stick by themthey never mix up any ism with their principles , and why should we ? ( Hear , hear . ) I was asked , by my constituents , if a resolution was passed hero in support of Christian Chartism , if they would be obliged to stand by it , for they are afraid . I replied , no ; I thought not . I gave them my opinion concerning it , and I do hope that the delegates will be

      careful about this part ot their business . Mr . Simeon then read a letter from Kingswood , speaking of the success of the cause in that district , also of the persecution with which they have had to contend . Mr . Simeon said that nothing can possibly fee done without immediate public meetings . In Bristol they have taken a room that will hold about three hundred persons . If the Bath friends will hold a public meeting there , wo may not be able to guarantee the travelling expences , but they may depend on being received with open arms , and kept according to the means of our friends . The Whigs are fust coining round ! Chartism ia ia a critical state . I bopa that our exertions this day will have a tendency to establish it on tbe public mind . ( Cheers . )

      Mr . R . K . Philp said , at this stage of the proceedings , ho felt it his duty to make a statement of the real position of the National Charter Association . This was necessary ; for all who were concerned in the management of the peopled movement , would , if properly aware of thei ? position , understand what was necessary to effect an advance of the people's interests . Mr . P . then gave a detailed account of the position of the Executive , and communicated fact 3 which had just been forwarded to him by the General Secretary . He then made an appeal to the delegates present He said he had shovra them that funds wero needed ; and the people must not bo deceived . It was impossible for the Coartiat cause to be advanced unless all who hoped to be benefited thereby determined to make a trifling

      sacrifice to promote its success . Mr . P . then stated the resolutions of the Executive , and showed what would be required to carry out tbe important movement He said he should feel regret if some practical good did not result from tbe present meeting . It was not sufficient for delegated Individnals to assemble , make resolutions , and then lose sight of them : they must immediately put their resolutions into effect ; and he hoped each delegate woald consider himself pledged to set the resolutions into operation on returning to his district There was a loud and general call for lecturers and political papers : these must be provided ; and the delegates should take some steps that would lead to the desired result , and tbat immediately . There should be

      no delay . The Petition sheets should be oat at enoe , and circulated in every part where human beings resided . The Convention , too , must be supported ; and he called upon tha delegates immediately to commence tbe work : there most be no delay—no deferring for another season : the present moment was the most advantageous fora movement to be made ; and that movement must be begun and continued with zsal and determination . Mr . P . continued at some length to appeal to the delegates , urging them to backup the Executive Council , aud said there was no enterprise too groat for them to carry out with success , if backed ap by the confidence and general support of tbe people . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . Q-. M . Bartlett then proposed tbe following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . C . Clarke , and carried : — " That the delegates present are of opinion that the lamentable atate of tbe country calls loudly for remedial measures , such as are calculated to lighten the numerous burdens of , and to afford employment to the people ; and at the same time to enable the manufacturers , without reducing the wages of the working men , to sell their goods at least as cheap as foreigners do theirs ; which object , without undermining the agriculturists' interests , or endangering our nationality , can be best

      attained by reducing taxation ; by an equable adjustment of the debt , called * national ; ' by doing away with useless places and sinecures , a > n-1 lessening the police , military , and naval establishments . That the delegates entertaining this opinion , and believing that such measures will not be carried into operation , until tbe people possess their political rights , agree to the petition submitted to the country by the Execnlive , and pledge ourselves to use ererj effort in our respective localities to obtain signatures , and to rain a subscriptions for the support of those , while they Bit in Convention , who shall bo entrusted to see that petition duly presented to the House of Commons . "

      Mr . Simeon proposed the following resolution ;—"That it la the opinion of this meeting , that tbe best means of extending Chartism , is the establishing ol tract societies , aid holding a series of public meetings . " Seconded by Mr . Gordon , and carried . Mr . PniLP proposed , and Mr . G . M . Bartlett , seconded the following resolution : — " That it having appeared from the Btatomonta of the delegates present , and also from the extensive correspondence with which they have been favoured , tbat lecturers , if engaged for tbe counties of Gloucester , Somerset , and Wilts , will be tbe means of disaen » im » ticg Chartist principles , and extending the national organisation , do recommend the General Councillors in these three couaties immediately

      to take stops to appoint lecturers . That Mr . Simeon , of No . 1 , Temple-street , Bristol ; Mr . Wm . Milsom , 22 , Kingston-place , Cheltenham ; Mr . Charles Clarke , li iihandoa-buildings , Bith , and Mr . J . Hawell , Portnian-strett , Trowbridge , bo instructed immediately to write to the several towns in their counties , to ascertain what they wiil contribute to the lecturerB ' expences ; tben to call the General Councillors together , to lay tbe answers before them , and proceed ( if the answers warrant it ) immediately to choose persons to lecture . " Mr . Simeon objected to the resolution on the ground th * t the people wiil not attend lectures , that the better plan would be for the associations to exchange iheir inbR ; be would attend a publio meeting at Bath if the B-ith friends would send to Bristol .

      Mr . P hilp said it was highly necessary for the counties to employ persons whose business it should be to go from town to town and advocate the Charter ; be was sure that great disappointment would b 9 felt by the counties of Wilts and Gloucester if some steps were not taken by this meeting for the purpose . The Chairman said ho could not return to his constituents with satisfaction to himself unless he here pronounced his opinion In favour of lectures . The resolution having boon put from the chair , it was carried . The question was then introduced , " the be 3 t means of healing differences in thd Chartist rank 3 . " Mr . G . M . Bartlett moved , and Mr . Philp seconded the following resolution : —

      " That this meetin * of delegates hopes that no farther disputes will take , place , respecting the late divisions in tbe Chartist ranks , and that all minor diffarenocs will bo waived , an'l union promoted as speedily as possible , that effect may be given to the operations of the Executive . 'Fh . it the different editors of the Chartist press be requested not to give countenance to any personal disputes or factious bickerings . That all plans for tba furttvennce of the Chartist cause , for tho sake of order be henceforth submitted to tha Executive . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Pmlp then moved the following resoaltion , seconded by Mr . Simeon ,

      " That , in order to obtain signatures to the National Petition , that that document bo read afc all public meetings of the Chartist body , c' . asaes formed , and the petition taken to ail residences and laid on tables in the yablk sheets and market-places , and that strenuous exertions be made by all the members o ? tho National Charter Association to have the petition numerously signed . " After appointing saveral public meetings , the delegates sepxrated to prepare them «? lvo 3 for the meeting in the evening , at Salisbury ' s Koom .

      PUBLIC MEETING . At ei ^ hfc o ' clock the delegates attended a public meetin ? in the large room , No . 7 , King ' s-mead-sqaare . The meeting was numerously attended . Mr . W . P . Roberts took the chair , and opened the proceedings by obfervlnsj , that he thanked them for that proof of their confideaca He » 2 > peared tbere simply a creature of circumstances , prepared to act in any way aud manner in which they should direct . They were met here to view the progress of the cause , and to look at that progress as tbe result of the advance of reason and intelligence , and not aa tho renaU of violence ; they were met to receive delegates from the surrounding districts , to see in how far the cause had advanced , and to ask how many persons there were present who were prepared to make a trifling sacrifice in assisting , aa that they may thereby benefit themselves .

      Mr . Roberts gave a clear exposition of the present state of parties , more especially tho state ofthemonarcby . He then called upon Mr . Clueh , who addressed the meeting at some leng . h , aad read the National Petition . Mr . Milsom , of Cheltenham ; Mr . Witts , of Wotton-uuder-Edge ; and Mr .
