PfcTmOinraL—The men of Plymouth and Taristock held a-, public meeting in a Tillage called Knackers Kaowle , three miles from Plymouth , an < eleven from . Taristock . It was peaceably and orderly conducted . One man working in the Tillage of the name of Hockena , was discharged from hk employment with the following language from hit employer , " Hockesa , I am sorry my interests compel me te discharge you . I like your work , but sot toot principles ; therefore , I cannot any longer employ too . " The man stood firm to his princi p les , bat lost his employment . Is this not one of a thousand proofs thai oar Charter is necessary ?

The men of this place , of beefpie notoriety , hare Bet an example to their brother Ch&rtMte , which -they wo « ld do well to follow . They hare eagaged a school room for half a year , at a rental of aboat 30 s .

It is revested that each town forma its local council as soon after the receipt of the same as possible .- They will arrire -with Mr . Deegan . ires . — -Recently this hiUierto peiceable little town ha 9 been thrown into a little excitement by the aimed at introduction of police . For that purpose a Testry meetingVaseonTened which was well attended , the majority being about ten to one against the introduction . The magistrates , and a few of their tools , seeing they had no chance of Buccess in that coarse , deemed i * advisable to try other means . A poll waa
d&majideflythinkfng , yainly thinking , that they would be more' fortunate , well knowing the means they could employ to bias the minds of the ignorant . Now , mark how the affair was cendocted . They went to one person and told him they would pay nis taxes 3 to another , and said it was an unanimous thing throughout the town ; to another , that all their family had signed , and it is their wish that you should sign ; others were indnced to rote by threats that they should lose their work . On the day appointed , ths people all attended the poll at the Town Hall , to grre their rotes , but no rotes would betaken j it must be airritten declaration according to the act . Hoping they had no act they would be
defeated in this way , but an act was foandandto their annoyance declarations was pouring in for two dayB , the time of polling in heaps , consequently at four O ' clock the people waited upon them to know the state of the poll , l > ttt before they could get in the door was saut in their facee , the Mayor and Churchwarden making their exit through the back door amidst a general hiss from the people ; consequently a deputation waited upon the Churchwaraen to demaud a state of the poll but it waa refused ; telling them that it would be posted on the Church door on
Sunday , bfct the people did not require to be told as th * j well knew it w& 3 in their favour . Accordingly they m&rehed in procession round the town accompanied by the band . On the Sunday following it was declared in faroux of the inhabitants , but not as we anticipated , a list of Yotsre , as they were ashaaed of their numbers , but we hare heard from rood authority that the inhabitants were four to one . 1 hope this Will convince them how absurd it is to try to introduce anything against the united roice of the town . —An Imhubitaot .
PONTT ^ OOt . —The b ! ack beetle broth Whigs are up » their eyes in basines 3- The despicable wretches are surrounded with difficulties , and full of dreadful apprehensions , caused by their own misgorernment Daniel O'Doublefaoe and the Irish repealers on one hand , and the English Chartists on fee o-. her , " added to this eonsemplated war with Traces , has . made the imbeciles tremble to their ba 3 e . 11 seems the mountains of Wale 3 are destined a& , the scene of action . Troops of sappers and BnTiers are encamped on the uninhabited mountains « f Wa-es , sea-coast ways from Pontypool to Cardiff , With telegraphs erected to giro notice of approaching danger . Various are vbe surmises what ilier are on
Oom ^ these wild mountains . Some assert they are wst-ebingthe French ; others that they are to jput down the Chartists . Perhaps they are gathering bilberries , to make pies for the approaching aecouchment of Victoria . In the meantime it behorea the people to act with prudence , and beware of spies , and avoid secrecy ; they cannot be too cautious , for spies are on the hills innumerable ; they are in Pontyroal , Newport , and Merthyr , propagating the most f-ul falsehoods , representing themselves as atauiieii Chartists , and insinuating that such and tuch a district is in a state of preparedness for anjthing . Last week , a person went from Pontypool to Newport , bearing a fictitious name , asserting tross
falsehoods , representing himself as a member of the mytkinn men ' s reading room ; he was detected in his Tillany by the men of Newport . This wretch has l > een in Irowpridge and Merthyr , and if he does not desist Irom such wicked conduct iris name and description will appear in the columns of the people ' s paper , the Star . A letter has betn received in Pontypool from Newport , written by Edward * , in Oakmam ; his case is truly deplorable ; the men of Pontypool & 7 : d Newport are raising subscriptions in his behalf ; Chartism progresses with rapid strides in these districts ; let the people act with prudence and above board asd they may bid defiance to the base , bloody , and brutal Whigs and their spies . —Correspondent , '"' .

COCKERUOUTH . —A few friends of the Charter , headed by oar much respected , bat seriously persecuted friend and feDow-townsman . John Simpson , for his fearless advocacy of the rights of the people , met in a large room in Gallow Barrow Lane , on Thursday , the 24 th instant , Mr . John Simpson in the chair , when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : —1 . "That an Association be formed , to be called the National Chartist Brotheinoed Total Abstintmoe Association , from all intoxicating drinks , tobacco , snuff , &c . "—2 . That as soon as twenty members take the pledge , and enrol their names , a room will be taken for the Society to meet in , for reading , writing , and arithmetic , to hold discussions , to dourer lectures on social and political economy , and all other natural

"—A public meeting will be held on Sunday , the 4 th of October , at the Four-road-Ends , on Gallow Barrow , when Mr . James Burns will delirer a leotnre on the objects of the Association . < ¦ ¦
SAXFORB . —Again hare we met , and again hare our numbers increased . The moat lirely interest was displayed over the Glasgow Demonstration . Mr . Clancy ' s affair with the Methodist parson elicited rounds of applause . Cards hare been distributed to a good many members , anderery member is anxiously requ « sted to attend on Sunday next , at No . 3 , Cobbett-street , at three o ' clock , to receive his card . Let each committee-man and class leader attend at the same place on Wednesday night . The members purchased a goodly number of the Chartist Circtdary and copies of the People ' s Charter were purchased for circulation . Our prospects are excellent . We understand the Chartists of Douglas Green have formed themselres into classes : this is as it ought to be . Why do not Charlestown , Pendleton , Pendlebury , lrlams-o ' -th ' -Height , Barton , and Eccles , do in like manner 1 There must no
longer be any hanging back ; every person muBt lend a helping hand to the holy work of a nation ' s redemption . Let the good and true men of Salford encourage their wires , sisters , daughters , and sweethear ts to form female classes . We expect to hare a room by Sunday , the 11 th of October instant , to commence lectures , discussions , and so forth : we shall placard Salford on the occasion . The Whigs hare been at their dirty work again . The surreyors of highways used to bo chosen by a public meeting of the rate-payers ; but the precious Whig Com * missioners hare taken that power to tbemselrea , although Mr . William Willis Used erery effort to prevent it . So much for the cant of Liberalism . " Why , the infamous Tories could not do worse . This is another proof there is no hope for the people until they shall be fully represented in a democratic House of Parliament .

^ m THE GLASGOW DEMONSTRATION . If any remnant of hope existed in the breast of a single individual , up to Sunday night last , that the Chartist agitation was a mere transitory ebullition of popular feeling whieh would exhaust itself by its own violence , Monday must hare dispelled the delusion . We acknowledge that there might have been some whose perceptive organs were so deficient , oi so wrapt up in the delusion or party feelings and opinions , that they could not justly estimate the stability of the present feeling in farour of Unirersal Suffrage ; but , however mystified the judgments oi snch individuals , or even classes , might hare been , or however much they might have been pre-determined to remain in the belief so rratifyin * to their
narrow minds , the proceedings nere on Monday hare dispelled the delusion , and to the surprise and regret of both Whig and Tory , haTe indisputably declared to the world , the snpr « macy of democratic principles amongst the public of Glasgow—in short , have declared the triumph of Chartism . The men of Glasgow hare for ever honoured themselves by their conduct on Monday . Calm , peaceful , but determined and unanimous they exhibited a decorum which will always tell to their adTantage ; and a spirit which will have a mighty influence on thfi whole country . The note of triumph has gone forth from the head quarters of Chartism , and it will heard and felt in the most obscure hamlet throughout the land . When the heart beats with rigour , every rein feels the impulse .
The indestructible nature of Chartism is undisputably determined . Let us review for one moment the more prominent feature of its origin and groth , and its permanent stability at once becomes evident . We acknowledge that in many instances , faction has created great excitement among a people ; but where the impulse was a momentary enthusiasm , created by playing upon the feelings , or pandering to the passions of the ignorant , it has never outlived its first violent outburst . But how different is Chartism . It blazed forth like a meteor at first—it astonished , overawed , terrified , even wfcen in the most disorganised condition . There waa a rashness , howerer , indulged in before its strength was properly matured and consolidated , to
have made such rashness warrantaole . It was stabbed to the heart , yet the wound waa not mortal . The fiery excitement was subdued , yet it did not perish . It was said to be crushed , yet strange it is , it was ever found where it had ever been . And wh y was this ! Simply because it was not a people following the blind impulse of their passions—because it was not ihe movement of a deluded people , whose ignorance had made them the tools of faction—but because it was th e determined struggi e of an in tell igent people for their natural liberties , a struggle for rights , for justice—a love of principle which , when oace developed , defies all attempts to crush it . This is why Chartism , although slandered by tho unprincipled part of the press—though sneered at by classes , whose feelings or interests it disturbed—though
anathematised by an unchristian clergy—and although persecuted to the uttermost by the Government , ha 3 outlived all , asd dashing aside opposition of every kind , stands forth the baTored cause of the working men . The fierce ordeal through which it has passed , ha 9 purged it of mauy impurities . It has exposed all those empirical agitators who without any sincere lore for the cause , floated upon the Btxeam , and vitiated its purity . The 9 e hare fallen into their natural obscurity , and really useful men now conduct tte agitation , under who-e guidance it is rapidly assuming a front , more powerful in its calmness and moral determination than it before possessed . The first Chartist demonstration in Glasgow was laughed at by our Whig friends . Since that day it has steadily increased . Can they laugh at Monday ' s display 1 If they do , it mast be with the wrong side of the mouth . The Argus , in black despair ,
says nothing of the matter ; while the Guardian , which , since the Chartiat commenced preaching , has began to feel rather disturbed , dismisses the affair in two lines , earing , tha Chartists had a demonstration on Monday , which was beneath contempt . No , thou holy hypocrite , it was not beneath thy contempt , it was the most uncomfortable , most alarming sight thy party has witnessed since the days of Charles . The Courier likewise gare it a few lines , in keeping of course with the known character of the journal ; but ., however , the Tory may sneer , or the Whig maintain a sullen silence , the fact nevertheless stands on recorJ , that , on Monday last , the CharfiBts—the Charti 9 is alone , let it be recollected —made a popular display , exceeding the one made with all the aid and assistance of the Whijfs , when O'Connell in the meridian of his glory visted Glasgow . That is a fact , be it contemptible or not . Compared to Monday , the Durham demonstration was a failure .
But what gives hs more cause to rejoice , is the fact , that every effort was made by the masters to prevent their men attending . We have collected a large list of cases of the most heartless tyranny exercised by the Whig masters of Glasgow . We refrain this week from going into any exposures , hoping tbey will take the hint . If , however , they persist in the tyrannical exerci&e of their petty power , we shall lay bare their case to the world , giving erery one his own station in the disgraceful list . As a sample , we may mention that a master joiner in the city , caused one of his apprentices , who had absented himself seven hours to attend the demonstration , to ba dragged from his bed on Tuesday morning , taken before a magistrate , and sentenced to sixty daya in Bridewell . We leave this also over till next week . la the mean lime , we earnestly solicit all who may have suffered for attending the demonstration , to send us in authenticated particulars—we shall use them . —Scottish Patriot .
Some may imagine that the demonstration which was held here on Monday , arose from a blind and indiscriminate attachment on the part of the people towards men who had been punished by the Government . But a little acquaintance with the feelings of the working classes of G ! a > gow will completely dispel the delusion . It was not so much from personal attachment that our working population assembled on Monday to celebrate the arrival of " their friends from England , as it was from a predetermination to demonstrate to those individuals a fixed resolution on the part of the people to continue

A FRENCH JACK SHEPPARD . A man named Godard has just been arrested by the police of Paris , the history of whose numerous escapes is almsst as remarkable as any in the annals of crime . Godard has not yet passed his 26 th year , yet he has been Beren er eight times sentenced to lengthened periods » f imprisonment for as many different felonies , and has each time effected his escape . He was first condemned in 1829 U fire years imprisonment , and fire of surveillance , for robbery on a large scale , effected with nard ^ hood , of which the Marchioness de Louie , a sister « f Don Pedro , was the viotim , Godard suffered the entire penalty for this crime , and waa not let loose again upon society until March , 1835 . '
j our months afterwards he appeared before the public tribunals , charged with a new robbery , was condemned , but oontmed to make his escape , by descending the staircase leading from the sixth chamber of tie Palais de Justice , and passing through the hall ofthe Pas Perdus . Arrested shortly afterwards for some other misdeeds , on January 5 , 1836 , he waa again condemned ^ o fire years' imprisonment and fire years' surreflUrioe . In less than three months afterwards he effected his escape , at the moment when the Gendarmes were restoring him from the prison of GaUlon to that of Clariraux .. On the 5 th of December , m that year he was again arrested in Paris . On the 5 th » f January following , while he was awaiting his sentence in toe prison of
the Souriciere , he pierced a hole through the roof , and again effected his escape . On the 3 th of tyferch , 1837 , he was again taken , being surprised in flag * rante delicto , while committing a burglary in the quarter of St . Eustaehei He was placed at first in the prison attached to the post of tfce municipal guard in the Rue Trainee , During the course of the night he removed a portion of the pavement from the prison floor , ahi , unassisted by any other instrument but his fingers and nails , excavated under the door an opening sufficiently large to permit him to pass through , and he thus escaped . A few days later ' he was ajain Burprised in fiagrcnte by the proprietor of a house in the Petit Carrean , which he was leisurely robbing .
He was hotly pursued , and on the point of being taken when he turned round on his pursuer ( the proprietor of the house ) and plunged a kirfe which he carried three times successirelr into his body . After this Godard left Paris , which had " become too hot to hold him ; " but ho continued in the pro * vinces the same career of brigandage aid depredation . He was eventually arrested in thedepartment of the Cote d'Or , at the moment of his running off with the cashbox of a mercantile hou « e , aad here , to avoid identification , he assumed a fake lame , under which he was condemned to six years' imprisonment . The Pairsian police at last became airare of his mdentity , and resolved to put him on his trial for the attempt at assassination recorded abore . Every measure was taken to transport nun s < cureh from
Dyom to a prison in Paris . He was about to appear before the Judge of Assize , when , througl negligence or want of foresight in a person empbyed by the huxtsiert ^ he again effected his escape , tarersed the court of the rencrable Sainte-ChapeUe , behind the Palais de JuBtiee , and buried himself in the narrow streets of the Cite , where he would lerertheless hare been agaia arrested by the police , who were upon his track , but that , with rare presenee of mind , he interested the workmen assembled in that quarter in his farour by telling them that he wu a poor father of a family , who had been arrested during the late disturbances in Paris , and that he was eidearonring to recover his liberty for the sole purpose of going to console his unfortunate wife and four little children .
The workmen to whom he told this fable not only did not oppose his flight , but put the municipal guards who pursued him # n a wrong scent . Godard was then free once more , but as his state of destitution drove him to the commission of new crimes , he was tracked by the police , now become doubly vigilant , and on Thursday last he was arrested in a cabaret in the Ruo Arbre Sec , where it was impossible for him to make any resistance although he was armed with a poinard knife , and with several burglar ' s implements . At the period of h > 8 arrest he had got rid of his convict dress , and was clad rather respectably . Through a sort of bravado , very characteristic of men of ibis class , he had made up his prison clothes into a parcel , and sent them by a porter to the governor of the Conciergerie . Godard will be shortly brought before a Jury .

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOB THE ADVANCEMENT OP SCIENCE . ( From ihe John Bull ) We we happy to give an exceedingly good account of the proceedings of the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science , which , as we previously announced , has been held at Glasgow . The Marquis of Breadalbane , as we last week stated be would , took the chair , and the attendance of ladies and gentlemen was highly respectable ; in addition to Mr . Quelty , of Munich . Mr . Espy , of America , who is universally known as entertaining views at variance with Colonel Capper and Mr . Kedfield—his arrival in time for the important discussions of the question whether in great storms the wind from all points tends to a settled point in right lines , or that the motion of the wind is gyratory , excited the greatest sensation , especially amongst the ladies and the vendors of peppermint lozenges .
On Friday the different sections were crowded to excess . In that of chemistry and mineralogy Dr . Playfair read a paper by Mr . Glover , on the employment of bromiteand iodine of bromina , for the purpose of obtaining dydrombromic andhydriodic acid in atomic proportions , which was loudly applauded . Professor Bunsen read the next paper on Kakodyle of -which arsenic ia the principal Ingredient . The production of this compound is very dangerous , and the Professor has been severely injured by his experimfnU As the learned gentleman was not sufficiently communicative to state the beneBts which were likely to result from his " Kakodyle , " it is impossible for us to decide whether the result would justify the research . Professor Johnson delivered a statement about coals , and Mr . W . Keir read an elaborate paper upon the geology of th © turnpike road leading to Castle Hill , Adrossan .
Mr . Babington announced a fact to his section , which we are sure will be hailed with unirer 3 al satisfaction , not only by our readers , but the British people at large-namely , that he had actually dlscorered some " flax dodder" in a field at Borrishole , in Ireland ; that wnicb . renders this discover / most important is his conriction of its being distinct from the C . Europcea of Linnaeus . In the medical section , Dr . Newblgging read an extremely interesting paper on the use of Croton oil ; after a delicate discussion of Its effects , Mr . Abercrombie suggested in lien of at least , where very young children ¦ who bad the " crowing disease" were concerned , a combination of " iron , rhubarb , and xnuak . " ( Loud cheers . )
In the statistical section , Dr . Chalmers read a paper " on the application of statistics to moral and economical purposes , " which lasted two hours and eight minutes . At its conclusion , Lord Mounteagle moved a rote of thanks to the Learned Doctor ; but whether for the paper , or for his tinishing it , we cannot Bay . In mechanical science Mr . Hawkins exhibited a small instrumtnt for taking the dip of strata , wnicn was hailed with enthusiasm . Mr . Fairbairn read a paper to prove that iron is strong , which was received with great approbation . The same gentleman exhibited a model of an engine for pumping water . In the evening there was a promenade at the Exchange , which seemed to be the most agreeable part of the affair , although the professors of xcin 6-oU > thought prope * to charge a "wonderful high price for gooseberry-wine , converted by associated talent into Champagne .
On Mod day Sir David Bre water , to whom we believe the world i 3 indebted for that most useful of all discoveries , the " kakidescope , " exhibited to the sages the " daguerreotype , " which , if tha thing itself was not exhibited at every optician ' s shop in London , and purchasable also , would perhaps have created a greater sensation ; but Dr . Reid went far beyond this , because he explained to the audience that by mixing soap and water in a bottle , one may make a rainbow at command by blowing upon the bubble . We baveseen small boys and playful glrlB doing this sort of thing with tobaccopipes and gaiiy-pots ; it is therefore most gratifying to know that a saving in those clay tubes may be effected by blowing into the bottle itself .
Mr . Murchison , General Secretary , gave a brief statement of bis geological tour in Russia , and in the presence of another General ( General Tzcheffkine ) , bore testimony to the respect with which he had been treated in tho * e parts . We really do not see why he should not be so treated—Mr . Murchison is a gentleman universally ^ stetmed iu his own country—why not everywhere else ? In the Zoological department , Dr . Lizsra read an interesting paper on the intellectual qualities of the salmon . Professor Agassis , in almost every point , agreed with the learned Doctor . After this , the usual appointment < = f officers took place . The next assembly is to be held in Plymouth and Dock—nicknamed Devonport for gentility— -with that most able and excellent man Professor Whewell ( who good-naturedly

THE QUADRUPLE HUMBUG . Hre bate been fortunate enough to obtain a copy of the original draft of the Quadruple Treaty between Turkey and the Four . Powers , and- # a it differs conflfletably fcpm that wtiftkhks W » pitblW > ed , possibly our waders may feet interested by a perusal of the same . '¦ ¦ : ¦ ' ¦ - ¦ . . ¦' " ¦•¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦' , -- . ¦ COFT OF A . TEKJ . TT BETWEEN THB CbtiRTg OF Russia , Prussia , Austria , and Great BRITAIN on the one- Hand , and the Sublime OTTOMAN POSTS ON THE OTHBtt . In toe name of " Old Harry , " greeting ,
His Highness the Sultan having found himself in a pretty considerable mess , owing to the perversity and obstinacy of the gipsy Pacha Mehenrtfc All , and not knowing what the devil to do , the said Sulun baring neither a fleet nor troops , being swindled out of his ships by the most treacherous piece of humbug of modern times , therefore begs the aid of bis most poissant antes In taking the said Paoha in hand , and reducing Urn to order and subjection , f / they can . For this ptrpoae , the said Powers hare agreed with the Sultan to settle the business at their earliest convenience , and bare named their respective plenipos , with directions for them to go to work immediately on the ratification of the Convention .
Article I . His Sublimity the Sultan having agreed to the conditions on which the Job is to be performed , the said Powers engage to stick together "like bricks" in the execution thereof , according to the best means which each can command ; and they harent the smallest doubt in the world , touching the said Gipsy King , but that they dull «« settle sis hash" in the " twinkling of a bedpost , " ..: should he dare to send an impertinent answer to the proposals submitted to him .
-. ARTICLE IL If Mehemet AU shall be such a fool as to refuse to accede to the mild and equitable arrangement proposed to him , he had better look out for squalls forthwith , inasmuch as the said Powers agree to transmit orders to their naval commanders in the Mediterranean to begin peppering him immediately , with a view to the dispatch of basinew . Moreover , Admiral Stopford shall hare orders to stop at nothing , but to "go it" like " blaMS , " until ha haB sunk , taken , or destroyed the Egyptian fleet in the harbour of Alexandria .
Article III . Should the troublesome vagabond Mehemet AU manifest symptoms of coming to close quarters , and direct his forces upon Constantinople , thea , by rirtue of an arrangement of the said Powers , they -will ¦>« pitch into him- without TOeroy , as a slight token of the sense they entertain « r bis unparalleled impudence . When , howerer , he has been fairly ' floored and beaten to a jelly , the Powers engage solemnly to " cat their sticks " immediately on the requisition of the Sultan , who may naturally not be rery anxious to keep such ugly customers in his capital a moment longer than he can belp . ' AHTICLE IV .
It Is nevertheless to be ( folly understood that the said Powers , in the case of an invasion by Mehemet All , do not stir a peg towards the salvation of Constantinople , except on express command of the Sultan ( who , by the way , will be devilish glad in tbat predicament to summon them to his aid ) . Moreover , it is agreed that such Intervention « f the Powers shall in nowise entitle them to take any sort of liberties with the rights and properties , wives , daughters , or harems of the trne believers , and that they shall march effa * aoon as the safety of th « capital is Becutftd , and the whole thing in a fair way of settlement
Article v . In return for the protection thus afforded by the Powers for his capital and empire , his Sublime Highness the Sultan hereby agrees that he shall n * t be called upon to pay a brass farthing towards the expenses necessarily incurred ; and tbat If the Four Powers shall think proper , after the subjugation of Mehemet All , to bring in a "long bill" of charges for services rendered and performed , he , the said Sultan , rery much wishes they may get pai * for the same . ¦ Further , exchange being n » robbery , the ratifications shall be " swopped" at London , and Mehemet Ali caught in the trap as soon as possible . Done at London , the fifteenth day of July , in the year of the Lord Harry , 1840 . ( Signed ) Cupid . Bulow . Neumann . Bbunow . Chekib , Secret Article .
We , the above-signed plenipos of the said Powers , fully cognizant of and comprehending the policy of our masters , and well acquainted with their -views and intentions , have no objection t 9 admit that the foregoing articles are , to speak candidly , mere hnmbng , and put forth simply for the purpose of gammoning the public at hrge , and France in particular , and must not be taken as by any means representing the real sentiments aid intentions of the Four Powers . They are wilttnj further to grant that their real object is to drive Mehemet Ali into resistance to the said
Powers , vhioh would afford a delicious excuse for restoring tKngS in Egypt to their old footing , before this tawny reTel had established his authority , and defied the powei of his master . Only let him refuse the terms offered hm , and he may think himself wondrously lucky if , at the end of three months , he is in possession of Ejypt , saying nothing of Syria and Candia ; and though tley hare offered him the two latter for life , it is becausj tkey hope to have the pleasure of shooting him like a dog before the contest is ended , their full resolve faing to make short work with him when once the strugle begins in earnest .
The aid plenipotentiaries , in the fulness of their candour , further solemnly declare on the part of the said Povjers , that if France shall presume to interfere , or in anj manner to assist and abet the King of the Gipsies sToresaid , the said Four Powers intend to give her the < i r -d ' 8 t drubbing she erer yet received , and which ste will have cause to remember for many along year to ome , and , it may be , teach her the propriety of poking her nose into tho quarrels of others for no earthly pirpose or advantage whatever .

TN CASES of SECRECY consult the TREATISE J . on every Stage and Symptom of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most alarming forms , just published , by Messrs . PERRY and CO ., Surgeons , No . 2 , Britannia-sweet , ( three doors from York-place , ) Wellington-road , Leeds , and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , and given gratig with each Box of TERRY'S PURIFYI-NO SPECIFIC PILLS , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box , containing a full description of the above complaint , illustrated by Engravings , shewing the different stages ' of this deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practical
directions tor an effectual and speedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and safety , without the aid of Medical assistance . Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , price 2 s .. 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Us . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry on the aide of each wrapper ) which are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every Stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both 6 exes , including Gonorrhea , Gleet 3 , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of tho Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business .
They hare effected the most surprising cures , not only » " ! recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills , for tho cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of renereal infection , characterised by a rariety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in , which Messrs . P « rrr hare happily compre 99 ed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic
affections . Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations Scrofulous or Venereal taint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract eyery morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature 80 impaired , aa to render the residue of life
miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always'local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed outm the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be convened in + 0 an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that ' a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and byadiseasewhioh is not
in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . wu It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victimf to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulness o illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , rum the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches oa the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throat ? ' diseased nose , -with nocturnal 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 .
Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 2 , Britannia-street , ( three doors from York-place , ) Wellingtonroad , Loeds ; and No . 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Only one personal visit 18 required from a country patient to enable Messrs .

A MOST singular document has recently been brought to light , and is now in the possession of the Rev . Wm . Aether , of East Pecknam- it appears to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , who attained the almost incredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left this document to a relation : it is written on parchment , and although upwards of two hundred years old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following is an extract : — "These do oertifie yt ye undermentioned is ye method of preserving health , which by ye grace of Almighty God has caused me to attain to my miraculous old age . Albeit in my yonth I was afflicted with ye Bloody Flax and King ' s Evil , but which all left me by using some dayes ye herbs m herein written . ' *
Here follows the receipt : — 11 Moreover , I bequeath to my second Great Grandson ye method I employ for preparing ye medicament . Given this day . and in ye 147 th year of my age , " Thob-asPabh , " "Winnbgton , Salop , Januarie 17 th , 1630 . " This singular character was the oldest man , with one exception , that England ever . produced : his biographer says , * . the days of his youth , according to his own account , was a series of long and painful illness but that by some secret means he cured himself , and jvas stronger than most men when he married his first wife , which he did at the advanced age Of eighty-eight ; he again married at the
amazing age of one hundred and twenty ; at one hundred and thirty ho used to thresh corn , and do any labonons work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens of England . Parr spent much of his time in the study of the vegetable world , and has fortunately left behind him , though long bid to the world , the valuable frnita of his labours . Besides the valuable receipt from which Parr ' s Pills are now compounded , there are several MSS ., pieces written in his old quaint style , on the value of health ; his opinions , though somewhat differently expressed , were that the varieties of clime and modes of living make but little difference to our period of existence—that the laws of nature are simple and easily understood , but they require perfect obedience . ' ¦ The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by the assistance of a very able chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Parr ' s to be made into Pillsand although ¦ ¦ mt
, . . — ——w—»» -wj mum . wnmyujtn only a space of eighteen months hare elapsed since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have been effected ; more than one-half were considered incurable ; and what is more remarkable , cases which possess the very opposites as regards outward symptoms : the balsamio and invigorating effects on the blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds for years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusion of new blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow-beings , who had long given them np as incurable , ia looked upon as the greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , muscles , and even solid bone ; this being the case , the grand object is to keep this precious fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in some way or other . . -.. ¦ ¦ •'•
Cases of every description have all been cared simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , thus showmgthat what has been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the same cause , and can be cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they are as pure and harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , howerer weakly from long ill health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound 8 leep , and an increase of animal spirits . To have produced a medioine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectnal in searching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject . . j ThisMedicine is sold . byannointment . bv Edwards ,
