HP -HAT a Madeira climate in England may be 1 produced by the VEST A STOVE , plants of the most tender kind , requiring warmth , have proved . In sick rooms it has been / band invaluable , producing one even degree of temperature throughput the day and night . The Vesta Stove has no doors , and as there is not any fire in contact with the outer case , warmth is obtained without any of the unpleasant effectB complained of in the use of others . The fire can be kept alight the whole season , and the part containing the fire is not open during the time it is replenished with fuel . The fuel passes from the hod into the stoye without being seen , preventing entirely any escape of the noxious vapours , and that annoyance from dust which , in feeding other Btovefl . arises from the fuel being removed from the hod into the stove , or what is worse , into a funnel to convey it into the stove . The ashes are removed without causing any dirt or dust ; no raking out with portable rakers , or the hands , being necessary ; and during their removal from the interior of the stove they are not visible . The cost for fuel ( cinders , coke , or Welsh coal ) will be about 2 d . for twenty * four hours , during which time the stove will not require attention . The Vesta Stores are perfectly free from all liability to explosions and such unpleasant consequences as have been met with in the use of Arnott ' s . A variety of sizes and patterns are made with ascending and descending flues , in iron and earthenware , suitable for warming apartments of every description , churches , ships -cabins , &cv The stoves may be seen in use at Rippon and Button ' s warehouses , Wells-street , Oxford-stroet . — -A list of prices and a number of references and testimonials will be sent iu answer to a post-paid application .

OX . D PARRS SECRET OF LONG LIFE DISCOVERED . A MOST singular document haB recently been brought to Tight , and is now in the possession of the Rev . W « . Abtheh , of East Peckham : it appeals 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 certifie yt ye undermentioned is ye method of preserving health , which by ye grace ot Almighty God has caused me to attain to my miraculous old age . Albeit in my youth I was afflicted with ye Bloody Flux and King ' s Evil , but which all left mo by using Borne dayesye herbs as herein written . " Here follows the receipt : — " Moreover , I bequeath to my Becond Great Grandson ye method I employ for preparing je modicament . Given this day , and in ye 14 / th year of tar &A *» 11 Thomas Parr . " " Winnington , Salop , Januarie 17 tb , 1 C 3 O . " This singular character was the oldest man . with one exception , that England ever produced : his biographer says , "the dayB 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 was 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 he used to thresh corn , and do any laborious work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens of England . The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by the assistance of a r « ry able chemist aud physician , caused the receipt of Old Park's to be made into Pills , and although only a spaco of eighteen months have elapsed since tho 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 oppositeB as regards ontward Bymptoms : the balsamic and invigorating effects on tne blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds for years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusionof new blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incurable , is looked upon as the graatest of tho many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , muscles , and oven solid bone ; this being the case , the grand object is to keep this precious fluid ( tho blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in some way ox ther . Cases of every description have all been cured simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , thus show * ing that what has been cousidored different disorders , aud requiring different treatment , all originated in the aarao cause , and can be cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , thoy are as pure aud harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound sleep , and an iucrease of animal Epirits . To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of howoverloug standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research aud a thorough knowledge of his subject . Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long-lost Becret to the world , feel confident , when they make the assertion—that none need despair , that if only a fair trial be given , the result will be a restoration to health and happiness . " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise , And future Parrs be blest with honour'd days . " The following letter will Bhew the high estimation these invaluable medicines are held in the city of Lincoln : — " To the Rev . W . Arther , and Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . "Rev . Sir , and Gentlemen , —I beg to inform you , several persons have acknowledged tome they never experienced so much improvement in their health , since they took Old Parr s Pills ; in particular , a lady , who said she never knew what it was to be without pain in her head ; but , after taking one box , she has been free from it ever since . ' " ) fou must , I am sure , from the great demand for the pills at my shop , think they are considered here of great value , and I have no doubt many more will be sold when they are generally known ; in fact , some folk begin now to think they will have no occasion to make their wills for the next 50 or 100 years to come . •* I am , your obedient servant , ' James Drdrt .

He was not come there to spout out that dogmatical nonsense which was being pat -forth in the various cathedrals in this kingdom , namely , "As it was in the beginning , is now , and -ever shall be , world without end ; " for certain he was that things were not now as they were at the beginning . At that time there were not 1 , 000 prostitutes patrolling the streets of London ; there were not at that time 10 , 000 pickpockets , 10 , 000 servants out of employment , 3 , 000 houses for receiving stolen
geods , eighteen prisons in London aud its ncinity , . 52 , 000 beer-shops and public-hoases , and 80 , 000 committed for crime annually . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker went on te compare the d \ fi * ient institutions of the country with what . they shonld be under a well-regula ted Governmeut . He { ihe speaker ) would always raise his voice against a system which consigned youth to prison , manhood to earthly hells , andoldage to bloody bastiles . He , for his part , wanted to see a system established , where -childhood would hareniirth , manbeod independence , and old age honour and comfort . He then remarked , that when-the late Mr . Wm . Cobbett went to Ireland , he wrote a letter to -the people of England , in which he declared that he had seen his own steward ' s
pigs the day before he left England , and he affirmed , m the face of England and Ireland , that those pigs were better fed , better lodged , and kept far more ¦ deaner , than many thousands of the peasantry of Ireland . ( Hear , aud cries of shame . ) He then denounced the factory system , ai carried on in this -country , and said it was such as that human nature shuddered to hear a recital of the many twisted limbs , broken down constitutions , the pale , ghastly , -countenance * , and deformed creatures , which it had made ; and also the foul and' filthy expressions "which were frequently made use of in them . He referred also to tbe tendency it bad to increase crime , _ viceT immorality , and prostitution ; and the coHraminarin ^ u& aence : t hid on the physical .
con-^ tituiion , and tne frustration , to a great extent , of mental improvement . He then drew a picture of a ¦ man who could have his acre of land to fall back npon , to keep feimself and family comfortable , instead of being at the mercy of the money - grubbers , and master manufacturers . ( Hear , hear . J Tbesp ^ aker enteredintoan able and eloqaent defence of his order ( the working classes ) from ihe calumnies And aspersions of the middle aud higher clashes as to their ignorance , criminality , and vice ; and traced tbe causes of these with aa unsparing hand , to those classes themselves who uttered the calumnies . He , then , in a very feeling manner referred to tbe ¦ de ath of Clayton , which was received with marks of
sympatny , and urged his hearer 3 to step out of the routine of taeir former energies for tne obtainment ¦ of the Charter . Frost , Williams , and Jones were looking to them to obtain the Charter . Thousands ¦ of poor perisking people were looking for it as their ¦ only hope , and that . patriot , that learned , able , trna-bcassed Irishman , Feargus O'Connor , w&ose private lrfe had been as amiable and as spotless as his public exertions , had been long , arduous , and valuable , —he was watching every movement , though in the dreary solitary dungeon . The wife of Clayton and oihers were looking to them ; the widow and tbe orphan ^ and the starving peasantry « f Ireland , all , all , - were looking to the Chartists , to tree them from tneir slavish condition . Tbe speaker made . a powerful appeal to his audience on the necessity of perseveraaee , and sat down amid * e c-latnations . Permission was juven to any one present 10 ob ject te anything the lecturer had ad-Tsnced
, or of asking anj qaestious , and no one conuag forward , the folio wiag resolution was carried nnammouslyj— " Thai a committee be formed -fco receive subscriptions , towards defraying tbe expences of removing the body of our departed friend John Clayton , froa the Whig dungesn , and convey him where he may be decently interred in his own native t « wn . " Avote of thanks was given to the leetnrer , after which the Chairmaa announced that the proceeds of Mr . Heywood ' s exhibitioa , in phantasmagoria , vrere £ 1 4 s . and that he had engaged to give two more ; the &rst to be on Tuesday , tbe 16 tb , and tbe other the following Tuesday . Mr . Boehanan , Social missionary , had , likewise , volunteered to give one , after , npaa the same terms . The Carpenter ' s Hall is taken for the 20 ih , with the anticipation ot holdinfca meeting for the delegates to address ihe people . A great many Cbarlist Circulars , both ot English and Scotch , were called for , and all is going oa well .
LEcnraB . —On Sunday evenings Mr . James Leech delivered a very interesting aad instructive lecture on the present position of the Chartists , and their fatore prospects * shewing the utter . aselesKness , foolishness , and impossibility of a union of the working and middle eiaeses , nnless tbe latter would © wne boldly and fairly out for Universal Sufcage . The speaker was listened to with marked attention , « ad produced a great impression .

CAB LISLE . — LECTURES OF DK . M'DOtJALL . —On Saturday evening , February the 6 th , the-abore ^ iamed gentleman delivered bis first lecture , in tbe large lecture room of the Atbensum , on Uie " "Rights of Labour . " As we entered the nail , the Doctor was proceeding with bis address , -which wat t&aracteriaed throughout by sound and ntional viewi of what society ought to
be under a just and paternal government ; he proceeded at gteat length to Bhew now the labouring classes lived in what art now caUed the dark « gea , enjoying &U the comforta of life , and Ihoae secured and held acre * \ j the GoTeroinent and magistracy «< this country ; % at now the p » ople were robbed of all tfcoBe eomfortstfeey formerly-enjoyed , by the rerymenwho ought to be their pwltectora . The I > octor is a rapid and eneif etic speaker , and at times approaches to tbe higbesttlights of elofcence , more especially te kia rimilies , which are well carried out HU happy « nd witty illustrations have a striking efiact « poa his audience .. On the whole we l « ok back upon hisi as a person well calculated to imprsss upon the people a strc « g convie- > tion < £ what ouakt to be their real position in society , I
Lik « the Bev . J . IR . Stephens , be « Bters teto all the r&mi £ c&tionB of society , and abmra , that except the Charter secures to the people , g « od food , good cloth-Log , and every ofeher comfort . It is Bot werth having ; at i ^ ie same time he contends , that the Charter will be the best security to those blessings . He exposes with a masterly hand the Yill&ny of those wb « nave plundewd the people ^ and is not over ssroputau m to the names be gives them . The following is a brief sketch of the lecture . I demand for tbe people at this country good wages tor their labour , and plenty et leisure tiue to spend those wages , in food and recreation . I demand a provision for them , such as they had in former limes , and which must and sUall be secured , before there shall be peace in the palace .
I have examined the ancient records of this country , and find that the people -were protected—they then had a back stay and it is only when this is tbe case that there can fee security for the throne—but if that protection be wholly removed , I would not give two year ' s purchase lor the institutions of this country—nor tbe stability of the crown , which ought to be founded on the affections of tbe people . 1 demand good wages for the people , and short hours , bo that their leisure time may be usefully and pleasantly spent in improving their minds sni making them what God intended them to be , but those things can only bo secured by placing is their hands political p « wer . I have discovered , that there was once a priesthood , who voluntarily gave up the benefits of the Church lands , for the benefit of the
poor . In Scotland , in the abbey of Arbroath , they received at one time what was equivalent to £ 12 , 000 at present , in the shape of wheat , meal , meat , &c There were only twenty five old men to es , t up all thia supply , which was given to the poor and necessitious . The black Earl of Douglas , with 1000 of his followers , remained there twelve months and could not consume the supply of bread , beef , mutton , &sh , 4 c . In 1530 , the abbots turned ont their money and purchased food for the poor ; twenty score of oxen and usb , and other things in proportion , as much as would now satisfy the wants of the necessitous in twenty parishes in Scotland . The then king visited this place , bat could not with all his gait , diminish the supplies . Torn your attention to that great reprobate George the Fourth ,
the money expended by that royal beast in his mission to Scotland surpassed all that has been given to the entirs poor of that country , and half the po « r of England . Should an Archbishop visit you now , he would scarcely leave a pig in the stye , nor as much meal as would ecable yon to sing " Britons never shall be slaves . " 37 e man can make me believe , that the priests are all inclined to assist the poor , with all their professions of charity , yet they would die through their vexation if they were compelled to assist them ; now the property of the Church is as if it had all flown away from this « oanby . if » working man should take the road , he will observe the priest ' s sign board as he enters every town and village— " Vagrants and beggars are not to be relieved . ' "—yet they have the
best houses ana gardens in the place . It never entered into the heads of the ancient priests , that there was a division of parishes in heaven . If they saw a peor man goffering from want , they instantly gave him food . God himself has proclaimed the rights of the poor . The tithes were brought in baskets , and placed on the altar , and the priest bad to declare before Almighty God , that he would reserve a portion for the Levite , the widow , the fatherless , and necessitous poor of tbe land . I know of no book , except the Bible , which so clearly and distinctly points out the right * ot the poor . Lands were given to the people , and tbe priests were not to have gold , nor any other property , but what belonged to tbe Lord . The ancient abbots did divide tbe fruits of the land amongst the necessitous poor ,
who had a right to this property . In those days , the working man had not to want , but proceed to the Church , and get sufficient food for his support . Having proved that the Church lands belong to the working men , and were given to the Church for the benefit of them , he asked , but what has now become of those lands ? I will tell you . Littls Lord John Russellalias Jack Ketch—has a good portion . I would ask tbe Bedford family , What they have made ot the lands ¦• B iiicti they nave rofbed the poor of ? Lord Egllnton , too , had got three large estates belonging to Kelwillen Abbey , which furnished him with tbe means of carrying on tbe broom-stick affair . What right had Fox Manle ' s father to the lands belonging to tbe abbey of Arbroath ? Indeed , nearly all the aristocracy have
robbed the people to a greater er lesser extent In regard to religion , I wish to see perfect liberty of conscience . I speak not for the purpose ef curtailing the belief of any one—bnt to show you who have been the robbers . "When you pull down idols , you should not rob the people . In thus advocating the rights ef the poor man , I cannot help glancing at the effects of the present system , which has entailed misery and wretchedness on the poor of this land . If the people had the church lands alone , they would prevent a vast deal of the misery which at present exists . In contending for the principles of the Charter , I consider it my duty , first to make you acquainted with your rights—se that when you get the power , you may be enabled to secure them , when the
power is put into your hands—without this power , it would bs vain to talk—and it most be had by the combined energy and force of the people . You have lately had a conning match at Leeds , which I could scarcely understand . The resolution passed there might have been a very different one—if the Chartist leaders had known their own strength , they could have carried a resolution containing the whole principles contained in the Charter . I know the design of those Household Suffrage hnmbngs , and I am determined at all times to expose them . The sole object of Hume , O Connell , and others , is to give what they are pleased to call Household Suffrage , and to throw the Charter overboard . Of what nse would a vote be , if tbe people could not choose the men they thouebt best
qualified to serve them ; and , without they have that power , the thing would be of no use . Hume has given notice of a motion to give lodgers a vote . If I had stopped in Chester Cattle , I would have bad the benefit of it ; bot it will be all a humbug . Joe Hume is a Whig-Radical—one half white and the other black knavery on the one side of his head , and folly on the other . Nothing , I trust , will satisfy the p « op ! e short of the Charter . The more you want of a Government , the more you should ask for . We have been standing like the man in the moonlight—the people are the man , and the Government the shadow—if the substance moves on , so will the shadow—but if it stands still , so will the shadow . If the Government still continue to refuse us the Charter—I will go further
and unfold the banner of republicanism . ( Immense cheering which lajsted for some minntes . ) If they won't ^ g ive us it now , they will very soon find it expedient to do so . We will , with the Charter , secure the rights of the poor , and be able to protect their wages . In the records of the county of Berks ., I find a table , by wnich tbe wages of the working man were regulated . The quartern loaf was taken as the standard , the number of the family was also taken , and what they could earn by their labour , and tbe number of shillings they could produce in a week . If a man had a wife and one child he was not to receive less than ten shillings ; if two , fourteen shillings and sixpence ; if three , seventeen shillings and sixpence ; if four , twenty shillings ; and so on in proportion . This was offering a premium f to
or young aaen get married , and to increase the population . In those days the wages of the working man " were always sttady asd secure ; he was to have , st least , sfcven pounds of batcher ' s meat in the week , with vegetables and other necessaries ; good clothing , and a go * d supply of chamber linen . Where is the chamber linen now » Why , if there is any at all amongst the working people , you will find it at tht ! sign of the three balls , slumbering in some snug corner with an elegant ticket at the end of it What has t « come of the beef ? There is still plenty , but you get precious litde of it ; it goes into the hands of your masters , and all the tit bits are seiaed by the overgrown parsons . It would be a curious census to take an account of the flitches of bacon and hams which are in the countrY ; Tery few would be found in the dwellings of the wori ' - What
in * men . joiner ever thinks now of patting crooks into the ceiling of a working man ' s cottate Imtthitof the parson is studded all over with them ' as if he wera going to hang up the gins of the whole nation . Now , we have Marcus ' plan of painless extinction , for the poor man ' s children . If the . scoundrel who wrote that book had shown his face among the magistrates of . Berks ,, be would have been pot in the pillory or the stocks ; but it is not a bad recommendation , if properly applied . The bees , after they have laboured a wlrole summer , and perceive that the drones increase—they assemble , march them out and destroy them , because , if they did not do that , they would soon eat up alL So it should be with the idlers , or donothings of society . I should like to see Marcus ' s plan adopted in this respect , for it would only be retributive
justice . The Doctor then went on to urge the people to unite as one man , and be determined to obtain tbe Charter . A vote of thanks was then given to the Doctor . The hall was well filled soon after the commencement of the lecture , and it will hold , at least , a thousand person * .

BRISTOL—Things are looking well here . Public tneetings have been holden in several wards of tbe -city , at which it has been resolved tbat a lecturer shall be retained to agitate the city and suburbs . TRURO ( Cornwall . )—The cause is getting nicely on heie . At a meeting of the members of the Truro Working Men ' s Association , on Monday last , it was unanimously resolved that £ 1 be sent to the committee for the management of the funds for the support of the wives and families of the imprisoned Chartists . Likewise Its . was voted from the funds to be sent to the National Executive Council : and
it was also resolved that the members do become enrolled in the National Charter Association . Our numbers at present are but small , but . we are in hopes of our labours proving successful , in drawing others into our ranks . We have also voted 10 s . to be sent to the "Frost , Williams , and Jones Restoration Committee , " and we have petitions in course of signature , which , when filled , will be sent to the above committee , to be presented to the Queen by three working men , being in our opinion the best representatives of our cause , our feelings , wishes , wants , and grievances .
GAXN'SBRO ' . —The standard of Chartism has been uplifted here . At a recent meeting , a subscription was entered into for the incarcerated victim ? , and three rattling cheers were given for O'Connor . RTJOBY . —Mr . Henry Candy , who was requested to agitate the three counties of Warwick , Stafford , and Worcester , arrived at Rugby on Saturday , from Nuneaton . On Monday night , we got up a meeting , which was well attended , and ho gave us an excellent lecture ; when , inamost able manner , he fully explained the principles and object of the People ' s Charter , to tbe satisfaction of his hearers . He
concluded by an affecting appeal to them , exhorting them from that night forward to be up and doing , and join in the holy struggle of right against might . He sat down amidst the most enthusiastic applause . Several gave their names in to become members . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer ; the health of Mr . O'Connor was drank with the greatest enthusiasm ; and also , "Frost , Williams , and Jones , and their epeedy return , and the liberation of all the incarcerated victims . " Tbe whole of the evening ' s proceedings were conducted with the greatest propriety . The seed sown will be productive of great good in this Tory and priest-ridden place .
MANSFIELD . —Since the inhabitants of this town have been favoured with a batch of the " New Police , " ii has become matter of doubt with the " unwashed" whether , in the event of their walking up the street , they shall be allowed to return again the samo way , as the town crier , among others , has been prosecuted for the atrocious crime of standing in the streets of his native , town . However the prosecution broke down , and the bluo coat was found not altogether ' * fly . " The Chartists have established , in Mansfield , a kind of debating society , and opened a reading room , both of which are well attended .
SCOTCH CHAUTI 8 M . —Movements OF MB . Har . net . —On Monday evening , Feb . 1 st , 1 addressed a most magnificent meeting in the Thistle Hall , Dundee ; I pretend not te give any particulars , as , in the Dundee Chronicle , will be feniM a report of the meeting , which you will probably transfer to your columns . " Bonnie Dundee" is now at the head of the movement in Scotland . Chartism if there all-powerful and all-triumphant ; the Democratic Council , representing and supported by the several Trades' Political Associations , virtually commands the town ; tbe Chronicle , in the
hands of the Cbartuta , has already made their influence to be felt ; and that organ of popular rights , once firmly established , ( which it may be , if tbe men of Dundee are true to themselves , ) will be an all-potent engine for good in the national cause . I may add , that thrice on the Sabbath-day , each week , do hundreds of the toiling classes listen to the eloquent strains of our leal-hearted friend , John Duncan , poured forth in vindication of the eternal rights of man . For tbe first time in Dundee , tbe poor and the oppressed have " the gospel preached unto them" in reality , by one whose character may be summed up ia these lew words : —he is " bold enough to be honest , and honest eneugh to
be bold . " The day may be distant , which it probably is , when I shall again visit Dundee ; but wherever my destiny may bid my pilgrimage , it will be with feelings of pleasure I ehall summon up the recollections of the past , and with pride bethink me , that I enjey the confidence , and have the warm wiBb . es , of its " honest men and bonnie lasses . " Wednesday , Feb . 3 d—Crossed the Tay to Newport , and ( passing through Cnpar-of-Fife ) after a walk of eighteen miles , reached Kettle , where , at eight o ' clock that evening , I addressed a very good meeting in the school-bouse , Kettle-bridge ; tbat veteran in the cause , Mr . Alexander Henderson , presiding as chairman . The inimitable manner in which he scourged the '' black slugs" justly entitled him to the applause bis townsmen were not slow to award .
Thursday the 4 th—Left Kettle , passing through . Falkland and StrathmigJo ; after a walk of sixteen miles , reached Kinross-The Chartists here are not a large body , but though few are true . I addressed a very good meeting ; at the close of my address , it was intimated by the chairman , that a proposition was under the consideration of the Council ( in the event of an eloction ) to introduce to tha counties of Clackmanan and Kinross , William Devonshire Saull , Esq ., of London , as Radical candidate , in opposition to the Whig tsol and placeman ,
Admiral Adam . A resolution was passed at the meeting , inviting Mr . Saull to explain his views and principles upon public subjects , particularly as te the People ' s Charter . I may here mention that the Kinross Chartists have commenced the necessary steps towards tbe erecting of a public ball , which , once accomplished , will enable them to laugh at the petty tyranny of the idiotic , knavish " respectables , " whose attempt to " put down" Chartism only exhibits their own irapotency , and the strength of the principles they vainly contend against .
Friday the 5 th—Left Kinros 3 , passing through Dollar , and Tillicoultry ; after a walk of eighteen miles reached Alva in the evening . Saturday the cth—Addressed the Alva democrats . Here , aa at Kinross , the working nieu have had many difficulties to contend with , consequent upon tha want of a place of meeting ; but " first of the brave , foremost of the free , " has long been the character of the men of Alva , and not disgracing their name , manfully have they gone to work . Shares have been taken , the cash gotten , and , within a week or two , will commence the erection of their own hall . This is good . This is the right way of fighting the battle ; would to heaven that the Chartists of every other towa would " go and do likewise . "
Alva , with Kinross , is misrepresented by that Whig hack the " gallant Admiral , " of cat o' nine tails notoriety ; rumours are afloat here , that upon a bone being flung to the drivelling old quarter-deck tyrant , he will make way for that very personification of all rascality , Fox Maule ; but let me warn the Fox that 'twill be no child ' s play at Dollar , the day he exhibits himself upon tbe hustings—if he shall dare—the Alva lads are preparing , and by all their hopes of " happy homes and altara free , " by all their hatred of tyranny , and heartfelt detestation of tyrant ' s reptile tools , have they sworn to " maule his nest ) I "
Petitionlvg for the Chakteh . —The annual farce has been gone through by her Majesty ; and the rival factions have again met , not to redress grievances , but to fight for power . During the recess it was agreed by the delegates , who met at Manchester and Glasgow , tbat petitions should be presented to the representatives of the middle classes , in St . Stephen ' s assembled . There are some who have been disgusted with the treatment the people ' s petitions have received from Honourable Members ; and have , therefore , determined to petition no more . We cannot think this wise or politic . This form of expressing our © pinions is a right which , as 1 Britons , we ought to prize . It legalizes our meetings , and gives assurance of safety ia our attempts to spread our principles . It is a means of . keeping the agitation before tne public mind ; and if iv should not alarm or convince our sapient
legislator , it is , at least , an excellent instrument by which to a -nnoy them ; and , above all , it is a plan so cheap and simple that it interferes not with any scheme that 1 » ay be proposed or carried into effect by our more 0 Wurate friends , who hare determined never to petit , vn- Throughout this session let us petition . Petition in thousands , and in tens of thousands , as communii > eSi associations , and individuals , till the walis of t . \ e House shall re-echo the words—Universal Suft ' ^ ge , the People ' s Charter , Justice to O'Connor , i'rost , and his companions . Let the Central Comi littee of Eugland and Scotland take up the subjec t ; let the districts prepare petitions for their ilemb ers ; and let every Chartist petition by himself , and thereby prove that we are the majority—that we at 9 determined , and that it will be dangerous much . ' onger to resist the righteous demands of a united oeople .
