The certainty with which the Pillsarecontinually administered csn ; he attested by many thousands who are aixiuaily enced by them . What medicmeiean be more appropriate than that which has giveh such general satisfactioa ? The French Pills root outt-very pardcle of the insidious poison , purifying in their progr ess the wholejEiasscf fluids . They not only jiamove the disease shut they renovate by their l action the diSecent loncuma cf the body—expelling the grosser humour , andina manner so imperceptible as to convince jks most stsjt ical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain me-cury nor any oiher miners ^ and may be taken without : &e slightest suspicion of discovery ; they require no restraint of diet , los&vt time , or hindrance ofbusiness , but effect a complete-cure without the least exposure to the par » 2 t . ^ . At awrperiod when the slightest suspicion may exist it will / be well to have recourse to tfee ± rench arills . ; for-Khen taken before the disease h ^ mace its appearance they act as a certain preventive removing t&e complaint « Sectua \ ly and sscretly .

      ; . On Thursday evening , &e 2-ithinsi . a public meeting was held in the Th « tttre of this toVrn , convened by the High CoiiSteMe , to take iutp consideratipu the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the poor Law Amendment Act . JEvefy paitt ; of the building was crowded ^ , even to the staee , which was n'l ; ed byp ^ r ^ iis admitted . by ticket . JUr . JaS . f AYLOR f - of Spjbtland-bridgeV was unanimously called to preside . After the usual preliminaries the chairman called the attention of the meeting to the question before it . It was a question of great importance to all classes , and every other question ought to bei thrown aside to consider this , the most

      important of all others , the repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Bill . The 43 d Eliz . was enacted to protect those who were willing to work—to provide against destitution—to succour the aged and infirm ; it was in fact a law , that , / while it was in force unimpaired ; , worked without producing any -national calamity , even amidst revolutions and wars . : The rights of the people were secure . But in latter times great distress had come upon society which had hid to the enactment of subsequent acts . Whilst" war and taxes had crushed the people lower and lower , and starvation was staring . th « m in the face the pre ^ sent Government iiaye done tliat which even in the most rampant day *" -of- Toryism ! the Gdvernmerit dared not do . They had virtually repealed the 43 rd ; of Elizabeth , and taken away from tho labourer his

      protection . " lhe labourer , " sayi ; the ¦ - . scriptarav > v shall be the first partaker of the fruits ; " but while we see so many of other classes , official dignitaries , pensioners andsiiiecuiis ' s , -fatteningupon tlie taxes , while they are starving ' the lower classes , what can we expect will be done to promote the -general lvapv piness of mankind . It is for you now : to consider whether tile repeal of the " New Poor Law will pro- , mote so desirable an end .-- ( Cheer 3 . ) v . Mr . Wilkixhon iu rising to move the first resolu-Uou , said , that it contaiuod an object which deserved tlie support of all those who were not enstrairged frpm every principle of human and national : sj * m pathy . We have seen great mischief under the old system ' of Poor Laws ; but this was caused by such

      was as bTURG < 23 Bo u uses , that enabled people in higher grades totyraaiiize over those in-lower stations , of life . That act intended fo increase the power t-j ' the . rate-owner in the ¦ ' . administration " of-the-lay . ' , - rather than strengthen the hands of the ratepayers , the people . There have beenimany imposi . tious praebsed under , the cover of poor riues ; o : ie ol which is called thelligh Constable's Hate , which no one ever knew anythiiig at all about , and which Co ] . Williams has so ably exposed . There was another evil under the nid system brought about ; by the multitude of Poor Law enactments . I mean the expenses of lavr proceediugs , and the discrationaify ¦ power of tho ins ^ i ? tracy : but when I - contrast ; these evil * with the evils of " the Poor Law Amendment Act , I am bound to cnusider that . --Aet the worst Act chat ever disgraced the Statute Book of England .

      —( Cheers . ) It is a specimen of that pure system " of education , filling the people ' s heads , while they havu empty bellies . —( Launiuer . ) This is one of . the beauties of the Messed Poor Law Bill which like all other-enactment * passed by the Whigs tends to sacrifice the weak for the benefit of the strorigr-: that it tends to lossen tlie taxes oil the rich man ' s luxuries , ^ while it increases the taxes upoii the poor xuari ' s Lreftd . ( Cheers . ) The comuiou cottager pays more rates in proportion than does tho large , uumutacturev . Sucl \ tlixiigs are carried on , and they castastaiu upon the gen . eryus- character of the ¦ ''¦ lit * tiou . . if v .-e uiuy judge from the act of the Whig Administration , Christianity is become iiifidulity and humanity is become a scourge . He concluded 'by moving tL . j resolution which was seconded by Mr . James Robeuts , put by the chainuan , and carried . ¦ : ¦'

      -¦ Itev . -J . R . Stephk . vs , who was received with loud caeenug , advanced to the front , and said , you have been told by your chairman that this question was one of importance to the - worldiig-millions . The liuestiou might-very safely rost upon those grounds- ; but it is a question that comes oil the rich , as the poor have very little to lose , when the time shall come that will level all distinction / -: therefore I ad ^ ¦ i ress . mvs ' t-U to the rich , as they will be the great losers in tho great game of havoc , when the poor >' hallhave xold every chair , siool , poty bed , aiid cosi'niig , to jiupply . their hunger—whe ' ii they will no longer have uiiy thing in their cottages to " losea . ud when , driven to de ^ jcraiipn , they may be urged to take vengeance upon their oppressors . I hold

      in my liand the olive , branch of poace—my \ vish id to see the rich and ' the-poor agoing hand in hand together—to unite the man- to his employer . I wish to seehappitietis dilfused through the manufacturers to society .

      ploaies . The poor law has prevailed at all times ; Go buck -to the law of ? Joses .: there you will -find , a provision fur the . poor ; not a niggardly one , founded upoii modern political' econoiiiy , but -a ' bounteous one , fynnded \ ipou the law of nature ; the jioor were to help the farmer to gather in his corn , and his fiiueyard , and to share m the fruit . The law of Moses enacted that a mail mighs take as much as would satisfy his hunger witaout being called a thief . It was part of the Jewish coustitution that man s . uoalcl ^ a fed . The New Testament fays nothing of tb . e doctrine of Wesley , of Luther , ol Calvin ; butj in that book , God says to thosebii the right haud—^'; Come , ye blessed of my Tatherj ijiheritthe kingdom prepared for you firom the '

      louuclatiou ol the / world . And why \ Because they fed the hunjivy , gave drink to the thirsty ; -clottied the naked , and ministered to the distressed . ( Loud cheers . ) To those on the left had— "Departfrom , ine , ye cursed , into everlasting tire . " And why ? Because they had acted on . the principle of the New Poor Law . God says nothing of collection ' s for miuisters , and for earthly feastiugs , : btit everywhere lie .. says . and advises cbilectipiis for the . poor and peedy . / The tithe system qf England wus liot established for the lay impropriatbrs ; it was riot cstablishsd for the benefit of those who enjoyed all the blessings of life , but for those who kaduot those bk'rfs ^ iiigs | out of those tithes thepoor wore to have all that they wanted ^ loimtke themselves comsortable aiid hapand the to have allthat

      py ; clergy were was necessary to lnflintaiii them , not in pride ^ . pomp , and luxury , but as becamer their sacred ^^ calhtiig , humbly and meekly , as did their master . Jesua Christ , 'l'hus this question existed until the IlefOrmatioh , when the ^ property of thupeople was plundered to give to . ijke an-. cestors ; Of . i ; jjij , Lord JfohnBussellyind othc-r , aiRterhi ? kimf , ¦ ¦ apostatei'tfiitheir faith : then it was jhat the poor begaiitaclarai » ir , iiid property began to'beinsecure ; then i % was tlrat-tlie 43 rd ; of Elitabetli was enacted , not as a boon to the poor , but to establish ihe property of the poor , widen had beeii plundered froni them by Henry VIII . and his nobles . If it be rijfiit to confiscate the property of the people by abr ro ' gating the 43 rd of Etaabeth , it would be right to confiscate the property of Rochdale : and it is rieht

      if the law of Elizabeth is to be destrbyed- ^ -it i # right for , the poor to . ^ take a dagger in one hand aiid a torch in the othefy and do the best they can for themselves . It will come at last : it would have come sooner , it incendiaries had not stept iii betwixt the rich and . tiie-jio ' or ,: to prevent the fearful collision that would have taken place . Woe betide the rich !—woe betide the law !— -woe betide the Constitution , if Oastijr and t should be carried off theiield ; martyi-s iii this glorious cause ! But the people shall not wait much longer : the poor hayeari ^ ht to eat ' - ' -to be well clothed—to sit beneath' their Own roof \ and to enjoy the blessings of their qwh : fire-side .

Yor these reasozs , the Author hss so r-emodclled the "Work as to nttke it ~ e % ually useful to Children and Adults , whiie , at the same time , the Price has been reducedso much ua to place it within every persons reach . The " EATioNAii School Grammar" 13 so ; -srritten as te amuse , while st instructs . The princi- ; pi © of the Work is precisely that of the Author's ; former ^ Work , " I " iTTHE $ r Lbssoxs , " &c . Taking oat the anerely Controversial part , all that could be said of that "Work may he said , with still greater force and propriety of this . The iMsrins , in this Wort , as in the former , are intended solely for the nse of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hairs-breadth iistanctaons and unnecessary subdivisions inAnaV ^ y , Trhich , if at all ussful , can only be useful to foreigners . The Science of Grammar is disentingled , in this Work from the folds- of mysticisEi which hare so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Woris on Grammar , are * exchanged for terms-which hava a definite and precise meaning , illustrative « f the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new Principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Lan" gTisjes . The neceasary Divisions and Subdrvbiona are rationally accounted for—and the Principles of ' Universal Grammar demonstrated so fully , that the meanest capacity may understand Vaem as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . } In Syntax , the formation of the English Language ' is exclusively consulted , " witbous . any unnecessary ' reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown ' ¦ w "be little "better than a htap of senseless Tautology . I The mestsary Rule 3 are demonstrated upon rational Pr inciples , and illustrated by a variety of Examples . ' By th » TJso of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , a-child will , in a few weeks , acquire a . good , ] knowledge of Grammar vrhhout any of the diigust' ing drudgery of Tasks , which , under tha present . Sjstem , prevents nine out of ten from over acquiring ' a knowledge of Grammar at all . So much are tha Principles of this important * Scianee simplified in theae little "Works that by the use of them , a parent having no previous knowledge , . 0 6 0 6 6 0 0

      of the subject mar , in one week , be qualified to"instruci'Mschildren without other assistance . ' : ' TH £ FOLLOWING T ^ THCONIALS OP THE PRESS Selected &om a host of similar ones , respecting tiie former Work , may convey some idea , of the Publio Estimation in whieh the Principle of this Work is holdenc— .. . . ¦^ Mr . Hill is evidently aa original thinker . Hel attacts , with ability and success , ' the existing system of English Grammar , points out the absurdities with vrhich . it is encumbered . Justly ceodemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to aiemory as tasks , he maintains tliat the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding ...... It is but justice to him to say that , in a lew pages , be gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the ; structure of the English language than can be found in som » very elaborate works . "—Literary Gazette . " A sensible and useful book , particularly suited for private instruction . "—Mhenceum . ' " . Six .

"—Leeds Times . ] " A concise , philosophical , and lucid exposjtioijy of the principles on which the language of Milton and Shatspeare rests—excellently calculated to be of service to adult persons-who have neglected the study of Grammar .- '—Bradford Observer . ¦ " This is a very useful hook for those persons to whom it is addressed . Its style is clear , shriple , and satisfactory ..... . All who wish to obtain a okar view of the construction of the English language will do woll to consult its pages . " - —Police Gazetig . " This is a useful book . It is calculated to giv » the student a correct idea of grammatical construction—of the analogies of the language—and of tin natur » of th » various parts of speech . It . is simple , but not mean ; clear , but not diffuse ; and there are few workj in which the first principles of Grammar arc better explained or more ably followed up .
