GUAGE , for the use of adult / persona : who hav& neglected the study of Grammar . BYVWILLIAM HILL . The Lesson ^ ill this "Worki are intended solely for the OBe of natives . They are divested , therefore of all those hair ' s-breadth distjnetioas and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy * which , if at all useiul can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar i ? 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 meaa ? ing , 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 ^ nd applicable to . _ all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and tne Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand tbem as olearly as it unde rstands that two and two make four / - ; V y : •¦ : ' ; [¦¦ . ' v : " :- ' - ' .:- : ¦ ' -: ;; ¦ . -y . : . \ ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any ^ unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules giyen in most Grammars are shown to be littlebetter than a heap of senseless Tautology The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Us ? 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 from ever acquiring a knowledges of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF ¦¦ ¦ y - -y ' - 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 which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar te 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 TNOiteB .

"Dear Sir , —It is with feelings of the most lively gratitude that I convey to yon a knowledge of the cure that I have obtained by the use of your Holland ' s Balsam of Spruce . I feel it incumbent upon me to make you acquainted with my case ; though unwilling to put myself forward , yet I conceive Ha duty due to society that my testimony should be added to those which I perceive you have inclosed with your medipihe . My case was one of that numerous class which unfortunately ate of too frequent occurrence in this variable oiimate , namely , cold taken from over exertion in the pursuit of my business ; not heeded at the commehcemeut , it proceeded through all the usual stages of colds , next cough , then difficulty of breathing , attended with most distressing exertions in coughing , with sensation of blood rushing upwards to the head until the temples felt as if they would burst . I tried all the usual remedies ; when , ' , almost without hope , I saw your advertisement , and . was induced to give it a trial , and , I rejoice to state , that the first night afforded me relief . A little continuance in its use gradually brought refreshing sleep , and now I am happily restored to health ; Allow me , Sir , to tender you my best thanks for the means you have taken to place your discovery before the public , who , I am convinced , will be benefited by Us use , " Yours , most obediently , " James Wilson . " "ToMr . C . Holland . " This case will be immediately followed by others , to the number of nearly 100 already received ; its astonishing power in subduing coughs and colds exceeds all belief , whilst its healing , balsamic , and soothing qualities instantly relieve soreness and tightness of the chest , sense of BuffocatiOn , sore throat , Ale .

      MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OB SYPIIILITIC DISEASES , RHEUMATISM , AKD NERVOCa OR SEXUAL DEBILITt . . MR . M . ^ n ^^^ SURGEON , &c . 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Opposite East Brook Chapel , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exolusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those : distressing debilities arising from a secret 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 on Sundays till twbj—and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , wUl 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 cure is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases where other practititioners 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 maide , 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 .-TWhere the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poisdn , and a mere removal of Ub external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must bo achieved to prevent a return of the disease , and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms ind 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 igno- - rant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the coristi- ; tution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by tha circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences en 3 ue , 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 producing 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 . ; i What a grief for a young person in the very prima 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 , a 3 all its fatal results are owing either to neglect ot ignorance .

      CHARTIST PIXLS . IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED . MR . J . HOBSON ^ Northern Star Office , Leeds , haying accepted the Wholesale and Retail Agency of those Pills , is authorised to give Twopence out of each Is . 1 id Box , to bo divided between the Executive and the Families of the Imprisoned Chairtistis * . / . :: ' /// - ' \/ : :, / ^ : ¦ -.: ¦ ' - i : " ^ : , The many Medicines lately offered to the publio Would have prevented the proprietor from advertising these Pills ( although convinced of their efficacy ) , did he flot feel it his duty to give his suffering 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 the Working Man , when deprived of it Iris means Of fiubsistance are suspended and bis sufferings aggravated by rtflection 8 on his poverty , and the helplessness ol his family . These Pills are hot 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 , heart 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 , aud perhaps for hours together in a continued _ posture , thereby inducing habitual costiveness , indigestion , and nervous debility , they are strongly reoommended and have been found of essential service , 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 wnole system , by these means estaolishing health on •» 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 'Stamps ; in a pre-paid Letter , to Mi " . J .

At . a subsequent period I was so severely attacked that I thought it would be unwrise tp > delay placing myself Hiider medical cire . I did so ; but not finding the relief Which I expected ; I a ^ aih became my own physician . At this time my legs and thighs were swelled to a very great extent . I immediately procured a box of Blair ' s Pills from Mr . W . Phillips , your agent in this town , and after taking two doses I was free from pain , and the swelling subsided . I now never fail to use them whenever . 1 am attacked by this painful malady , and they invariably give me relief after oxepr two doses .

I trust you will insert this among your list of cases , &b I am anxious to bear Witness to the efficacy of this excellent medicine . I am , Sir , your ' s respectfully , Richard Stone ^ Sugar Loaf , London Road , Luton . The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT ani RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and . Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give ' .

      READING . —The GhartiKts of this town -were visited last -week by Mr . Mead , from Birmingham . Dr . Perry , of Hore Gfeapel , Irindly grantsd them the use of Qoe > school-iooa attached to his Chapell , -which ¦ was tastefully decorated -with laurelB , eYergreens , &c On Tuesday evening , Mr . Mead was announced" to lecture on class legislation . The chair "was taken by Dr . Perry , ¦ xrtso opened the meeting by reading the placard . He considered it tbe duty of every Christian minister to do all that lay in his power for the bsntfit of the people , to follow the example of that great Reformer , Jesus Christ , who was himself a working man , being a carpenter , and labouring with his hands . He trusted the time was approaching when the ministers would follow his example , and that the Church cf Liberty would reign triumphant throughout the land—( great applause . ) Mr . Mead then rose , and was loudly cheered . He said the subject they were met to consider was one of the greatest importance ; and he trusted to prove to their satisfaction that all the evils we now suffer arose

      from osr system of class legislation . Mr Mead then entered into the evils of a slate church , which he showed was one of the effects , as well as one of the causes of this evil , as they form the characters of our present leeitlators . He then adverted to the Game and Trespass Acts , asserting that in the year 18 . 36 , he saw forty-two in Ipswich goal committed under these acts , the eldest of whom was not fifteen years of age . The lecturer then referred to the abuses in our naval and military services , and related many instances of tyranny and hardship , which he had seen during the time he was a lientenant in the navy . - One in particular , of a M . Taylor , son of the Mayor of Yarmouth , ¦ who was master ' s mate on board the same ship ; they had taken a vessel , and he was put as pr za master on

      board of her . He had torn his trousers in the action , and took a bit of nankeen off a bale to mend them . For this he was sentenced to receive 339 lashes , which were immediately inflicted , and the man died in a few minntoe after he was slung into his hammock . : < 3 reai sensation . ) The lecture occupied nearly two hours in its delivery , and was much applauded at its conclusion .

      CARtlSLK . —Trivmfb of Chartism , ixd Concessions of the ASTJ-Coitx Law League—Never since the first visit of Mr . O'Connor to Carlisle , ¦ when the Chartist Association was first established , did Chartism occupy so proud and elevated a position , a 9 it does at the prestnS moment . For s . ' long period we "were treated with scorn and contumely , our leaders Teviled and misrepresented—and the whole body charged with crimes and intentions « f the most diabolical character . The police establishment was increased —watchmen were put on to proteet property from the torch of the Chartist incendiary—the yeomaary cavalry ¦ were called out to ensure the peace and safety \ i the town—the Mayor taking nfuge in the Citt ' . e , lest he might be earned in his own house at mianisbt—mock

      proclamations were issned by the alarmed and stupid borough magistrates , making it something approaching to high treason for the villaEOus Chartists to collect a few pence fca defend tlieip persecuted and prosecuted friffldH . We Wtre reviled and hated by the middle Cl&BSfcB , Who took every opporhuiity of throwing discredit and contempt on our cause ; they chuckled , demon-like , at the cold-blooded treatnieEt and unmerited sufferings of the people ' s bait friends . In short , we were despised and degraded—impndentJy insulted as spoliators and robbers . But we drooped not under this load of insult and persecution ; bnt with mein erect , and look severe , we pursued the even tenor of our way , conscious ef the honesty and justice of the caus .- in -which we were embarked : nor have we ever

      allowed an opportunity to escape , when there was a chance of proclaiming the justness of our demandsnnti ] ? re have ro * de our enemies to quake with fear at the dazzling effulgence of truth and justice ; aye , even the undaunted champion of the League—the powerful and immaculate . George Thompson , has felt the potency of our reasoning , though dad in simple" and humble guise , eompaxed with his matchless eloquence and powerful declamation , and has become an advocate for the Charter . Those who , some short time ago , despised and persecuted us , are now fast joining our ranks : hnndreds are admitting the justness of our claims , and express themselves willing to join n 3 in our righteous TFanare But

Thome , having been called to the chair , read the placard calling the meeting , and hoped they would give every Bpeaker a fair and impartial hearing . Mr .

Wilson said the

      objections urged were frivolous and vexatious ; the great body of the weavers were Chartists , and determined to maintain their political opinions ; the Committee had maligned them because they were not consulted and could net reap a pecuniary benefit from it Out of upwards of three hundred at the meeting , there were not , at the highest computation , more than fifty who were not weavers .

      numerous . After the address , the meeting took up the subject of the National Petition . Tha Scottish Petition was moved and seconded .

      PAISLEY . —Great and Glorious triumph of the People and Real Chartism over Middle Class . Sturge , and Humbug chartism—Here , on Thursday evening , March 3 rd , a public meeting of the inhabitants was held in the Rev . Mr . Baird ' s Churcb , St . James's Street , the Lord Provost in the chair , for the purpose of effecting a union of the middle and working classes upon 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 snffocatlon . 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 the meeting was opened by the Rev . Mr . Kennedy proposing the first resolution , to the effect that prudent , active , and vigorous measures be taken to secure to the people a fall , fair , and free representation in the Commons ' House of Parliament The speaker laboured long and hard 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 ChartiBts , ever awake to this species of cajolery , told him several times that " it would not do , Mr . Kennedy ; that is not our Charter ; we will not be satisfied with less than the six points . " Tha resolution was seconded by the Rev . Mr . Cairns , one of the delegates to the late Corn

      Law Conference in London ; when lo ! to the astonishment of all present , the Rev . Patrick Brewster came forward , and told Mr , Kennedy that he had created a man of straw , and had concluded his hour and a half's contradictions by giving his ghost of suffrage a kick , when be 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 sarcastic lesson to bis brethren the clergy , and the middle-class men In particular , and concluded bis able speech by moving , as an amendment " the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing bnt the Charter , " as our friend Mr . O'Connor has said , " snout , bristles , and al . " The working men were rather taken by surprise , as they had an amendment the same in substance as Brewster's ; bnt seeing that be 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 bands were held up for the amendment , and I am within the truth when I state that only forty were held np for the original metion . The Chairman declared the amendment carried by a large majority , when three cheers were given for the 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 done their duty on the present occasion ; after suffering the extreme « f destitution for the last nine months , their devotion to the Charter of their liberty , amid all their serieus calculations and dreary forebodings , really to say the least of 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 ! The people are resolved to stand or fall by the Charter !—Correspondent .

At ten o ' clock , the hour of meeting , in addition to the good and true from Jatra , Hepburn , arid various other places , who surrounded the flag which waved in the breeze , on the top ot Shaddon ' s Hill , surmounted by the cap of liberty . The pitmen of the Sberriff ' s Hill district , turned the shoulder of the hill , preceded by the Sherriff ' s Hill band , dressed in a neat uniform , playing tUe celebrated air ,

      "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled ;" and were most enthusiastically cheered on their approach . After the business for which they had met was disposed oft Mr . J . Southern , of Sberriff ' s Hill , was unanimously called to the chair , who , in a very appropriate address / urged upon them the necessity of union and its effects , and concluded by introducing Mr . Sinclair , who followed in the earne strain , and in elucidation Bhewed that of all the men who attended there that none had that effect that the good men and true of Sherriff Hill had , in the organised-like manner in which they did their duty , and he could attribute their conduct to no other cause than that they had a National Charter Association at Sherriff Hi 1 , and were prepared as one man to do their duty , whenever their own

      interest , or that of the people , required it . Mr . S . then read the National Executive ' s address , explanatory of the principles of the Charter ; and having again urged the necessity of forming Associations in their respective Tillages , concluded by proposing the adoption of the National Petition , which wag seconded by a gentleman whose name we could net learn , and having been put from the chair , was agreed to unanimously .

Messrs . Cockburn and Sloane , the delegates to the meet ' ng at Avenue-head attene ' ed , tut due

      publicity had not been given . It is true , it appeared in the Gateshead Observer , but all the pitmen' in that district read the Northern Star , and as it was n <» t announced in that paper , they knew nothing of the affair , consequently the meeting was very poorly attended . A good many came from Cowpen , but as no speakers on the pitmen's business were there , Mr . Cockburn was requested to address the people assembled on the principles of the Charter , which he did in grand style , urging u ^ wn them the necessity of uniting as one man for the acquirement of the Charter , as the only means of making anTthing like a stand against tyranny , whether local or nat ibnal . Mr . Cockburn was well received . All present sl t 'tnM the National Petition , and the men of Blyth extrac ted a pledge from Mr .
