      CARLISLE . —The Chabtist Cause ;—Paring the pu * week , indeed ever » ince the news reached « s of the liberation of Mr . O'Connor , the greatest « xertionB bare bwa mads in re-arganUing tie male » nd famale Qvrtist Associations . Local councils hvre been chosen in the various districts ertfaa tewB , and collector * appointed . ETery one seems to take a more than ordinary interest in the caaie , and we hare no doufct , when Sir . O'Connor visits Carlisle , that he will meet with a glorious and most brilliant reception . The = dastardly and unjust prosecution of the mas and despicable Whig faction , has only tended to make him etill more endeared to the people . We heartily rejoice at the ¦ nresent degraded condition of the Wkiga , for their

      ¦ whole coDdBrt has been marked by a vacillation unequalled , cowardice bef « re nnknown , and an injustice never before practised . They hare all bnt ruined the country , dettxoyed our bade , blasted oar foreign commerce , cramped our resources , Insalted and injured the people by their heartless and cold-blooded prosecutions , degraded themselves in the eyes of all right-thinking men , placed the Tories in power , with a majority ia the House of Commons which will enable them to inflict the worst of tyrannies on the people . Tea J we do heartily rejoice at their present degraded position , from which they -will now endeavour to extricate themselves , by pandering to the worst passions of the people , feat who know them sufficiently well not to place the slightest reliance in their hollow promises .

He did not spare the working men for the apathy they have shewn in forwarding the cause ; he insisted , in a most happy manner , on the necessity of tmioa and organisation ; and the good consequences of his eloquent and able lecture are best shown in the accession of a goodly number to the ranks of the Chartists .

Patrick Hig ^ ins , of Siigo , rtqiesiing Star light in that quarter , they having no rresa to speak on ! their grievances , which are many , and declaring Mr . O ' Connell to be not the advocate of tke Irish rights , feut to have compromised the people ' s liberties foi patronage and place for his friends asd family . This

      speaks well , coming from that quarter . Frctm Mr . T Clarke , of Stockport , requesting to be enrolled i member ; and from Richard Romagne , Esq , Cork congratulating the Association upon the progress it ii ¦ prnVing in promoting the principles of real liberty , anc gt * t '" g that he was quite at a loss to know who th < O'Higgins was who had the temerity to institute s Chartist Association in Dublin , and brave all the furj of Dan and his myrmidons , until he saw his excellent letter in the WetWy Register , which explained all anc reminded him that it was the same O'Hirgins who ac eompanied their ever-mourned friend , tbe immorta Cobbett on his tonr through Monster , in 18 S 4 . Mr O'Cennell ( not Dan ) spoke at considerable length anf irith great effect , on the principle of the People Charter . Mr . Wood spoke on the bad effect * thosi letters would have which called Din " swindler , - " arch traitor , " "ODonbleface /' and the like , and recommend **

      the friends in RngTand net to nee such language . . Mr D ^ yle , of Manchester , was admitted a member , aftei which he said if ever lie felt proud it was upon th « present occasion , and from the fact of his being enrolled a membar of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association in his native dry , sn honour which h-j on « despaired of , but which now was past ail doubt Mr . Doyle spoke at grerf -length , in defence ^ oi the Charter , and concluded amidst -great cheering . Mr . O'Higgins said that he should not trespass on tt » time of the meeting after the admirable speech ef Mr . Poyle . He had seldom heard an abler or a trut ] espost of Whig delinquencies than that which thej had all heard from Mr . Doyle . He hoped that thert tu sot a man at that meeting who was not convinced that the English working classes were the real friendi ef the people of Ireland . Can any man donbfc now that the sole esd and object of the English Poor Law

      Amendment Act wm to fowe the working elaan of England to live on coaa » er food ? Little they know of what is in store for ttiwn . An attempt 'will awn be made to force them to live . on " lamper » , " a kiad of potato upon which tha Irish labourers are obliged to live , although the very pigs wQl not eat them when they can get any other sort Mr . O'Higgins said that he should then bring before the meeting the motion of which he had given notice on that day fortnight . In doing so , or rather in discharging a public duty , which was by no means a pleasant one , but the Very reverse , he should not enter into a lengthened account of the evidence which Mr . O'Conaeil gave becore a Committee of the Hoase ef Lords on the subject of the disfranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders . In his { Mr .

      O'Higgins ) opinion , it would have been wiser in Mr . O'Connell to have let that evidence sleep . His account of the character , the rank and station , and the motives which influenced the Irish Catholic priesthood to enter the Church is really incredible . How he can face them , and praise them , and cajole them sow , is matter of amassment It ii really iacredib' . e . Who wonld imagine that Mr . O'Connell would have stated in that evidence to which he has recently direefceu public attention , and which has formed the subject of the resolution which he , Mr . O'Kicgins , should submit to the consideration of the meeting , that the Irish Catholic priests were the sons of a low class of Irishmen , whose first st * p to an advancement in the world was to get their eldest sons into tbe church .- and that it was the

      duty of the Government to take means to secure the loyalty of the Irish Catholic clergy by a golden link from the Crown ; that is to say ^ / o be paid by the state , to be subject to the whims of that purest of princes , that pattern of virtue , that best of fathers and best of husband * , King George IV . This evidence contains a mass of information which , when published , will really astonish those who had no knowledge of it heretofore . The evidence aeaioss the irisn priesthood ia dated the 11 th of March . 1825 . and is to be found at page 8 in the Report . Surely , this will not be considered as abuse of Mi . O'Connell taken bom Orange papers . Will Mr . O'Connell venture to say that this report ia not true ? Will he charge the House of Lords or the House of Commons with the crime of giving to tha world a false report ef his evidence ? If he do ,

      I solemnly warn Mri , beforehand , of the consequences Mr . O'Higgins concluded by moving the resolution : — " That although the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association have no wish to entangle Diniel O Conn ell , Esq ., M . P ., in a dilemma , nor to add to his mental agonies or embarrassments , but on the contrary , they feel a most aaxiou 3 desire to assist in relieving him from the difficulties in which he has involved himself by his publicly acknowledged desertion of those principles to which he says he is pledged by an oath ; yet , they cannot conceal the astonishment and the regret with which tney have read a speech of Mr . O'ConnelTs in the Dublin papers , of the 23 rd ultimo , in which he repudiates the doctrine of Universal Suffrage , and declares it to be absurd and ridiculous ; and calumniates its advot&tes , while in . the very same speech he

      says' When I was examined before a committee of the House of Lords on the subject of a forty shilling franchise , I Btated there , on my oaik , that the remedy for the franchise would be the conceding of Wniversal Suffrage . I am the only public man In the British dominions who ia bound by caih the d&ctrine of Universal Suffrage . ' Now , he knows , right well , that the meanin ? of Universal Suffrage in 1825 , and before that period , was precisely th « same as it is now , namely , that every male inhabitant of Great Britain and Irelaad , of twentyone years of age , of sane mind , and not convicted by a Jury of a felonious offence , should have the right to

      vote at the election of a Member of Parliament . As the sworn testimony of Mr . O'Connell in 1 S 26 , in favour of Universal Suffrage , cannot be reconciled to his present denunciation of it , and of all those who relied upon his oath and acted upon it . We leave this contradic tory testimony between himself and his Creator in the hope that his conscience may one day or other prompt him to adhere to his oath" Mr . Thos . Wood , seconded the motion in a very eloquent and energetic speech of considerable length ; after which eleven new members were admitted , and notice for the admission of several others given , when tbe meeting separated highly gratified at the prospect now before them in the city of Dublin .

      ABERDEEN . —On Fnda 5 evening , the 10 th inst ., a grand jubilee was held ia the Temperance Hall , Gtorge-street , in honour of Feargus O'Connor , Esq . Seven hundred and thirty sat at tea , and the evening was spent in such hilarity and gocd humour as will cau « s it to be remembered as one of the kappiejt nights of Scotir . ' s sons . The Chairman of the evening was Mr . M ' Pherson , comb manufacturer , whose easy and happy turn of mind t , ave a ztst of pleasantness which charmed the whole audience . The speeches of the Chartist leaders on the platform -were excellent and very far surpassed for soundness of matter and vivid flashes of wit , those of any previous meeting . On the whole , Chartism at no former period shone so brightly in Aberdeen as it now does , and in this instance the company separated regretting notning so much as thit time had wiBged its way so rapidly .

      Gli . ND DEMONSTBaTIO . N AM ) OPEN AlK MEETING . —On Saturday evening last , a meeting-was advertised to be keld on the Inches at half-past five o'clock . Long before the appointed time great numbers from all quarters of the city were seen travelling to the spot , and by the time advertised , thousands were on the ground . At eight o ' clock the chair was taken by Mr . il'Pherson who opened the business in a manly and straightforward speech- Mr . Smart addressed the immense crowd on the by-gone sufferings of Mr . O'Connor , and the bright prospects which would result to the cause of Chartism by his liberation , and concluded a neat and forcible speech , by proposing the following resolution : — " Thatthis meeting bail with pleasure and delight , the release of tfeeir l « ng-tried and faithful

      fnend Feargus O'Connor , from the dungeon of our common oppressors , and we pledge ourselves , ¦ w hile he goes unarmed demanding liberty for tbe enslaved millions with such bravery and unshaken fortitude , we will stand by him , or fall with him in tiw struggle , and that this meeting highly approve the conduct of the Charter Union , in having invited Mr . O'Connor to visit Aberdeen . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Ducm Nicholson . He dwelt at great length on what Mr . O'Coruior had done for working men ; vfhat he had suffered for them , and what in all probability he might still suffer evrn to life itself , and in conclusion , aroused the congregated thousands to a ' ssnse of that injustice ¦ which had teen too long practised upon them , and wfcich had been altogether occasioned by their own apathy in not demanding redress . The second resolution was mover ! by Mr . John Le ? ee , in a speech of ^ rent

      force . It was ' ¦ That it ia the opinion of the meeting that although the Parliament as presently constituted , be sot the representatives of the people , yet no harm can possibly accrue t ? us by demanding our rights through the slavish aoor left open by petitioH . Therefore this mestin ? approve cf again petitioning the representatives of toe aristocracy and money jobbers , is Parliament assembled , to enact or canre to be rn-. c-red into law that document erritied ' the People ' s Charter ' , and that tbe said petition contain an earnest ¦ f T-iytif ^ r tu « iwi Hs e < V . ate restoration vf Messrs . Frj :-t , , YUUzxns , an . 1 J :-nes ; and the liberation cf all oat Cr . srtii ' . l . rittrtn pr ; sentiy confined in the cnirnvn gaols throughout Great Britain . " The resolution vras britfy seconded by Mr . Joseph Rowell and carried nr > in :: nou ? ly . Mr .

      ADDRESS OP IHE MEMBERS OP THE BLOOMSBl'RY NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION TO TUEIR FELLOVf-MEN . Brothers in Bondage , —You no doubt feel the hand of oppression as well as those who now , through the columns of the Northern Star , address you . You , the producers of wealth , are suffering all tbe miseries of slow starvation , while those who produce nothing are fattening upon the produce of your labour . Look around yon , which way you will , lasiness and luxury meet you on one hand , while slavery and misery

      meet you on the other . Why should this be ? Is it rmr fault that numbers are out of employment ? No , t > ut through the workings of machinery the great manufacturers are enabled to do the work of many hands ; the men of course not being wanted are discharged : consequently , machinery , which otherwise would be a blessing , has , through bad Government and class legislation , become a curse . Are we not -willing to work ? We answer for ourselves we are , but not willing to slave from morning till night , when we know that the profits of our labour are squaudered away on a useless class .

      Fellow-men , how is this state of things to be brought to a close ! We answer , by uniting together to obtain the People ' s Char ter , without which we are convinced we can never hope to better our condition . We therefore respectfully request your attendance on Monday evening in each week , to co-operate with us in our endtavours to obtain for the working classes their eiuaucipation from their present degrading position . J . Moore , sub-Secretary .

HAVING devoted their Studies exclusively for many years to the successful treatment of the Venereal Disease , in all its various forms ; also , to the frightful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , "Self Abuse , " may be Personally Consulted from Nine in the Morning till Teq at Night , and on Sundays till Two .

      In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making oaly oae personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medicines that will enable them to obtain a permanent and eifectual Cure , when all other means haw failed . Theyhopethat the successful , easy , and expedition ! modetheyhaveadopted , oferadicatingeverysympton > of a certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving tbe constitution in full vigour , and free from injury , will establish , their claims for support . As this

      disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but , on tho contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment iff order to treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in caso of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can ayail . 'himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice , by beingable to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mild

      nature , which can only bo made by one in daily pvactice , after due consideration of all circumstances , In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and which may bo the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill . Patients labouring uader thia disease , cannot , be too sautious into whose hands they commit themselves .

      The propriety of this remark ia abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing the ordeal of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfectcure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinKualJ this disease : ~ A general debility ; eruption on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scroiula , swellings iu the neck , nodes on the shin b ° ne 3 » cancers , iiatula , pains in the head and limbBi which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism &o . &c .

      _ Messr , 3 . W . and Co . ' s invariable rule is to give Card to each of their patients , as a guarantee for Cure , which they pledge themselves to penorm , ol retura the fee .
