OLD PARR'S LIFE PILLS . MORE PROOFS that this noted Medicine will restore to health tho afflicted , and continue in sound health the recovered . Head the following from a soldier , discharged from her Majesty's service as incurable , after having the advice of the most celebrated physicians : — " To the Proprietors of Old Parr ' s Pills . " Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the Public at largo , to acknowledge the astonishing benefit I have received from taking ' Old Parr ' d Pills . ' I was for nearly nine years in the 52 ud R ' -giment of Foot , but was discharged in the year 1839 as incurable , after having the best advice her Majesty ' s sorvice afforded , boing pronouueed consumptive ; I then returned home to Hinckley , where my attentiou was attracted to Old Parr ' s Pills . I was induced to purchase a 2 s . 9 i . box , and from that moment I date a renewal of my life ; for on taking one box , I immediately began to recover , and two 2 s . 9 d . boxes more completely cured me . " I am , yours most obediently , " Joiin Osborn . " Witness—James Burgess , Bookseller , &c . &c , Hiuckley . The following extraordinary case of cure has baea communicated to the Wholesale Agent for Parr's Life Pills , at Nottingham : — Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Lenton , near Nottingham , has been severely afflicted tor the last thirty years , with a violent cough , and difficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations . She took cold when only fifteen years old , and tho cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Lite Pills . She had tried almost ; every kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' a Pills about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box , she round herself coiuplotely cured , and was never affected in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now better ia health than she has ever been in her life . This cure doc 3 indeed appear miraculous , but for tho satisfaction of the most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answvr any inquiries , either by persona ! application or by letter , addressed " Mra . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Leaton . " Two remarkable cassB ( selected from many others ) communicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer , 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull . Mr . Plaxxon , of Couingham , five milea from Hull , had long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease . So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at hand to release him from his suflerings . For a great length ( if time he had been unable to sit down at all , evrn being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s Pil s , " purchased a small box for him , and en his calling for a Btcond box , he told me that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one box , he was able to sit down , and on taking two other boxes , his pains have left him ; his appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as be has ever been in bis life . Mrs . Sbaw , wife of Mr . Shaw , yeast dealer , had bet n for a great length of time afflicted with a severe internal disease . To use his own expression , " p tying doctors for her had beggared him , ' so that at last he was compelled to send her to the Infirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit . Having heard of "Pair ' s Pills , ' he purchased a small box ; she began to mend immediately on taking them , and two more boxes have cured her . She is as well as she ever was in her life . Mrs . Stephenson , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , has been severely afflicted with a bad leg for more than ten years , and during that period has tried all kinds of medicines , but without any

BRIGHTON " . —The following is a copy of the Brighton Memorial to the Marquis of Normanby : — To the Most Sobie Qie . Margvis ofSormanby , Secretary of Stale for the Home Department , The Memorial of the undersigned inhihitants of Brighton ; Sheweth , —That your memorialists have heard with iVeliEgs of intense regret that James Bronterre O'Brien , now coEflned in Lancaster Castle , for an alleged seditious speech , is suffering from indisposition of a character so alarming , that little hopes are entertained of bis recovery in his present situation . That your memorialists are not only apprehensive but fully convinced , that the lengthened term and rigour of the imprisonment of the said James Bronterre O'Brien is the cause of the present dangerous state of his health .
That your memorialists , therefore , implore your liordship to exercise your influence in procuring the immediate release of the said James Bronterre O'Brien , in order that he may have all the cars and attention ¦ which Ms wife and friends c * bestow on him—attention which cannot be given kim in a felon ' s dungeon , bat which , in the opinion of your memorialists , can alone , if any thing will , procure his recovery . That your memorialists beg to urge on your Lordship the fact , that the great mass of the in'dustrions classes Would deem the decease of James Bronterre O'Brien as a national calamity ; and , in the event of this happening prematurely in a felon ' s dungeon , your memorialists are apprehensive that the industrious classes generally would regard it as premeditated on the part of tbe Government . On these grounds , therefore , your memorialists again implore your Lordship to procure the immediate release of the said James Bronterre O'Brien .
CABDIFF . —Mr . Black , of Nottingham , delivered a capital lecture here , on Sunday week , to an aud > enee of about two hundred . A blue bottle made his appearance , yet to his credit , avoided raising a disturbance , listening as quietly as the rest . When the meeting was ended , and Mr . Black had proceeded the length of a street off , this man came running after him , and after complaining grievously of being called a blue devil , he delivered his order from the jwlice-superintendent , Mr . Siockdale , jun . Black is forbid to hold another out-door meeting on Tree Green . This large piece of ground has lately been used ( with glorious success ) by Mr . Scott , an eloquent teetotal adroca-. e ; bat from this time , Mr .
Stockdale will not allow the teetotallers to mee ; here . If Mr . Stockdale believed the object of rhe speaker to be bad , he neglected his duty in not sending his whole iegion to the ground , a ; the commencement of the mef . nng , with instructions to disperse the people . But the man who could packet the whole of the reward for the capture or Zephaniah Williams , letting the policeman who rsn the risk of being riddled , have no share , U not tae man of whom we ean expect consistency of conduct . From Cardiff , Mr . Black , in company of near twenty friends , proceeded to LlasdaJE , a village two miles off . The lecture here , was even better than the one delivered at Cardiff . A silly Epoony thought to frighten Black by taking dowa what he said . If our wishes
are compuea , respecting resident lecturer , there is little doubt of Cardiff ' soon becoming a stronghold . 1 SI . S CF WIGHT . —The Chartists of the island hold their weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings . At a receni meeting , af « r reading the Editor ' s remark * , and o ; her information in the Star , the meeting came to the following resolution : — " That this meeting v ews with disgust and inrl'gtation the nn ' . on of Messrs . Lovers , Cyiiins , Vincent , and Others , with that political swindler , O'Connell , and
a rump o * the saam-KadicaJs , veho have oac « already basely betrayed the working classe ? , and are only ¦ waiting ior another opportunity ; a union which has for its object the division and ultimate subjugation of the Cnartis ; body . '—' That" this meeting highly approves of the manner in whicn the Editor of the Northern Siar has met the attempt , accords to him its best thabk-, and hopes he will expose , in the Bame unfli . ehmg spirit , evcry effjrt ma 5 e : o burke Universal Suffrage , whether by . treacherouH iriends , or avowed enemies . "
. ^ HTJLIi , —Temperance jl * d Chahtism Mnru ' -T Pbogb . es-IMS . —Scarcely caa bcu ? f evidence be offered ofthe steady progress of ihe principles of Chartism in this town , than the fact which recent occurrences hare brought to light" of their having actually uprooted the most " powerful form of fanaticism which has yet assailed the human mind , the mania of teetotalism . Great a ~ are the beat-fits of temperince , and many as are the advantages which an immense number of individuals have derived from the various sanietie ^ established for its
p romotion , these societies have been generally hitherto crippled in their beneficial influence by the affected exclusion of all j > olitieal . grounds of advocacy , but which , de facto , was only the exelnsion of Radical , or honest argument ; while parties putting forth specious pretensions , and wearing sanctimonious fronts , have actually made the benefits accruing 10 the working man from his adhesion to these societies , to become a new s jurce of injury , and means of oppression and rubbery .
r » o circumstances are so favourable to the establishment of an overbearing influence , which , in ill adjusted minds , may be used for evil purpose ? , as those attendant on a promiuent pesition in a Temperance Society , Tiie ~ reformed chi-acters " especially , of whom it often happens that the bulk Of the nttir-e pon : on of the syc : ety consist , lose almost erery other eo . isideraiionm thai of gratitude -to the man who , under the guidance of providence , has raatc-hed them from the'pit of drunkenness . Hence it is aJinosi a universal case that the
secretaries and oth ^ r prominent persons in these Societies , who are generally middle-class men , and full of political rancour , succeed in carrying with them a sufficient number of the unrefl-ctiug among the members , to mould the society af : er their own fashion , and so to exclude most rigidly every subject Of discussion calculated to induce any politically beneficial result to the suffering millions . la no ease has this been more strikingly exemplified than in that of the Hull Temp-rauce Society , which \ - > , and ha 3 long been familiarly known as " ' Mr . Firth ' - oosiety . " Mr . Firth , a schoolmaster in the town , ¦ who ua 3 certainly made great and praiseworthy exertions in the temperance cause , being a Whig and withal— fi
" A bachelor , a -wee piece by the noon ;" with most fastidious conceptions of " respectability , " of course eschews Chartism , and strict . y forbids its introduction under any circumstances , or in any form , into the discussions of the society . Such , therefore , of the temperance folks as were Chartists , » Tid a 3 did not choose to hold all their souls under lease of the Teetotal Captain , " as Mr . F . has been facetiously termed , set up for themselves , under the name ana title of the ' Chartist 'Total Abstinence Society ; " and , thongh they : have no room in which to hold their meetings , and consequently labour under great disadvantages , they , are all active members of the National Charter Association , and they fiad this an admirable field , for they are yet getting well on , disseminating their principles « niietly and effectively among the members of the Temperance Society , through the medium of individual exertion and discussion ^ supporting the
eaase of temperance , not merely on its own merits i « the abstract , but as a mighty engine in the hands of the many , by which to overturn the oppressive domination of ihe few—while , at the same time , and by the same argument , they show that in order to eeore to themselves the continuance of the social benefit ! derived from temperance , the people mast hare control over the making of the laws , or they will be assuredly robbed of all their savings from tte alehouse , and the proceeds of their increased industry . These principles are being canvassed , and therefore , of course , received by very many of those who , till recently , have scarcely dared to think about them , and the consequence has l » = en a decline in tne power and influence of the " Teetotal Captain , ' precisely proportionate with the increase and spread of Chartism in his corp ? , while the several members of the ranks are becoming promoted by the loree « f truth , from the position of machines to tbat of

GIiASG-W . —The Middle Classfs joining the Chahtist Movement . —A public meeting of tho inhabitants of the First , or wUt is generally termed the Westminster Ward of Glasgow , * was held in S :. Aun ' s Church , on the 3 rd instant , at eight o ' clock p . m ., Mr . Raukin , merchant , iu the ohair , who opened the business of the meeting by stating that a reqnisition had been pressnted to the six councillors of the ward , signed by upwards of eighty electors , requesting them to call a meeting in favour of Universal Suffrage and the Ballet , three of which gave verbal answers against the object altogether . Mr . Dunlop , of Clyde Iron Works , and Mr . Bell , whom the people hitherto considered as friends of Universal Suffrage , sent letters ( which were read to the
meeting by Mr , Ancott , Secretary to the Universal Suffrage Electors Association of Glasgow ) treating with heartless and bigoted derision the object of the requisitionists . Groans , hisses , and execrations followed the reading of these letters . A kind of relief was fnrnished to the meeting by the honest declaration of the Venerable Baillie Turner , of Thrushgrove , on whose land stands the monument of Baird and Hardie , who were executed at Stirling , in 1820 , for taking an active part at the skirmish of Bonney 3 ! uir , betwixt the King ' s troops and a brave band of Radicals , on whose banner was inscribed the motto of Scotland ' s champion—Sir William Wallace , " Scotland free or a desert . " Mr . Turner , with his usual warmth ot fesling , declared he would call the
meeting if they could only get one out of the five to go along with him . —Mr . Wotherspoon , a middle class man , and a radical of fifty years standing , moved the first resolution in favour of Universal Suffrage and the Ballot , which was seconded by Mr . Borrows . Mr . Ross , Chartist banker , in a speech of nerve and ability , moved that they should at once swallow the Charter " bristles and all , " amidst great cheering , which was seconded by Mr . Wardrop , in a very sensible speech . Mr . Ancott replied in behalf of the motion , Mr . Malcolm and Mr . Walker , in favour of the amendment , which was put and carried unanimously . —Mr . Moir , in a speech of stirring effect , amidst universal approbation , moved that the Town Council be memorialized in terms of the
amendment , just now so cordially and universally adopted by such a respectable portion of his fellow ten pounders . Mr . win . Brown seconded the motion , which was carried . —Mr . Ancott moved the appointment of a committee to draw up the memorial to the magistrates , and Mr . Scrang moved a deputation to wait upon the magistrates with it . A jarge committee was then appointed , afttr which Mr . John CoJqufcoun moved a vote of thanks to the people of Nottingham , for supporting a Tory in place of a Whig , which was seconded by Mr . Muir . Mr . Malcolm moved an amendment , which was considered rather Whiggish . Thanks were then given in the terms of Mr . Colquhonn ' s motion to the people oi Nottingham , and the Chairman , when the meeting dissolved .
MANCHESTER . —LECTVRE . —On Sunday evening , Mr . John Campbell delivered a lecture in the Cairtist Room , Tib-street . The Chairman , previous to introducing the lecturer , made a few remarks upon the progress of the cause ; he was very proud to inform that meeting that the females were about to join the National Association next wetk , and afterwards meet once a wt-. k , when they wonld be addressed by one of the lecturers . This gave him ( the Chairman ) great pleasure , because h 8 felt confident that whtn the women took up the question properly , the tnd for which we are striving would be attained—fcheers from the ladies ; a voice , " Every man ought to let his wife come to the females' meeting . " ) Yts , said Wheeler , he was quite agreeable to that ; but he would cot have
the men to make them come against their own inclination . His i Wheeler's ) wife was a Daniel O'Conneliite , and he was sure she would not come . He was highly delighted to witness the progress of the cause , both in Manchester and all over the country . Thai room in which he then stood was engaged fer four nights in the coming week , besides the lectures and discussions which would beheld in other roomsin and about Manchester . The Chairman then stated that , according to the speaker ' s plan , Mr . Greaves , ef Oldbam , should have lectured there that evening , and if he was in the room , he would be very glad to hear him , and Le was very sorry to hear that he had flinched from the mark , and had turned instalment and Corn Law repealer man . He always thought Mr . Greaves a stanch man , and at
the last delegate meeting ho acted in the capacity of chairman , and acquitted himself honourably . But notwithstanding his turning round , he would be very glad to hear him , because , after his address , a discussion would commence upon anything which might be advanced contrary to going for the whole Charter and no surrender . Such circumstances as these would more than ever show the necessity of not putting too much confidence in men , but of sticking to principle , which could not change . Much as he respected F . O'Connor , he was prepared to say that so s * on as he flinched fr-.-m one jot of his former professions , so soon would he throw him overboird . Indeed , he considered that Feargus would deserve mere censure than any uthei man in the movement , because he was most responsible ;
the people being more attached to him for his formtr sacrifices and exertions — ( hear , hear , )—to say nothing of his suffering now , which binds him closer and closer in their affections , and causes them to repose more confidence in him , and because likewise for his previous consistency . And though the nation's voice will ring when he come * from his prisoB , ami thousands assemble to welcome him home and to his post , yet , after all this , -was he to turn either to the left or to the rifict , away he goes . ( Cheers and " no danger , " and " Grod bless him , " from tho ladie .-. ) This was ju * t in the position he Yfishe . i to see the "working classes , that is to pay due respect to consistency , come from where it may , and discard inconsistency even from the btst man in the movement . 'Cheers . ) After calling upon
his hearers to tupport the wiyes and families of the imprisoned Chartists , he hoped they would listen attentively to the lt « ture , and sat down much applauded . [ Here onr reporter "wishes to make a remark in reference to Mr . Greaves , -which is to tho following effect : —That Mr . J&uus Letch , the South Laacishire lecturer , was in the neighbourhood of Oidham a short time since delivering a lecture . It was in the evening . After "which , a gentleman , who was in company with two others , who are gTeat Corn Law repealers , cotton manufacturers , and wea . thy men , came to Leech , in the presence of our reporter , and offered him a supper , bed , and breakfast next morning , at the same time shaking a Eilk purse , full of sovereigns , in his face , and begems of him and pre sing him to stay all niaht
But how did Le ^ ch treat them ? Why , hear it ye -working men of Lancashire , —he "was rather poorly at the time , and fatigued , and had it not been for this offtr , be would have tarried all night at his own expenco at the inn ; but he indignantly turned ana looked npon his tempter with scorn , never spoke to Mm , but waiked nine miles borne that ni ^ ht . The same trick is being played in several towns round Manchester , and any good Chartist may sell himself at this time if he feels disposed , and the more confidence he possesses , the greater -will be his chance of jetting a good prico . ] Mr . Campbell rose and said , they were met to discus * their grievances . He was glad to witness the progress of the cause , and its rolling speed within the last few months . The Chartists were the only party who were going for
full and tffrctiva justice . It mattered not -what name they went by , whether Whigs , Tories , or foreign policy humbugs—bo long as they were n » t prepared to give the same justice and righfto another as they enjoyed themselves , their ground was not so tenable as that uf the Chartists , who conceded to every man tbat which justice , truth , and right entitled him to . ( Cheers . ) It is btciuse we hold out the vote to every nian—it is because we say to the black man , and men of every class , creed , country , or colour , " Come with us "—It is because we go f » r a full measnre of justice , and not stop short of that , or are led away by any half and h * lf clap-trap , that the Chartist cause is superior to any and ev * ry other agitation . ( Hear , hear . ) What is the Btate of the country ? He had a favourable opportunity
of knowing bow the cause was going on in all parts of the country . He had been -written to for membership cards from a doz ; n of the largtst towns , where the Chartists did n * t exist as a body before , but who are now for joining the Association ; amongst the above towns was Chester , tnat Tory-ridden hole ; but tbanks t 9 il'Djuall for that . ( Cheers . ) He had sent cards to Surrey and Ipswich , and many other places ; and he had received a letter from Belfast , in Ireland , from a young man who was once a member of the Chartist Association of Sali ' ard , requesting him ( Mr . Cimpbellj to send him word how he must proceed to extend ttie principles of Chartism in Belfast , and thus expose those men who have so lq » g ridden rough-shod over the people . Sir . Campbell said that he wa < aware there
was something awkward in corresponding with the people of Ireland politically ; but to obviate that difficulty , he thought he -would not write in his official capacity , but write as a friend . He would not say what his friend at Belfast should do ; but he -would say -what he ( Mr . Campbell ) would do were ha so situated . He -would call bis friends together on a Sunday evening , or any other convenient time , and get the NerViem Star , and read it to them , and write to the . people of England for mere Slars , giving at the same time the address of the person to whom they should be directed , and well circulate them ; and , when they properly understood the principles and the intentions of the Chartists , they would have a room of their own . ( Cheers . ) The speaker continued—We are progressing at that speed which in a short time the giant spirit of Chartism will overwhelm all the factions . ( Hear , hear . ) It Is
because we , allow every party to come upon the rostrum after our speakers have done , and discus * the principles we advocate , and object to anything whicu to them did not appear straightforward or true . ( Hear , &nd cheers . ) He ( the speaker ) would not belong to an Association twenty-four hours who would not allow free discussion . ( Hear , hear . ) Why have we to meet on a Sunday evening ? Here the speaker showed the reason which he stated was be cause that mighty organ of the people , the NorUiern Star , enabled the people of England to converse with the people of Scotland , and caused a union of spirit ana determinatioa for the same oijtct Bath C ' -mld speak to Brighton , and vice versa . iC . ieers . ) Tne Star has brought us to a general understanding , and guarded us against being led astray by humbug . ( Cheers . ) Men , of - tbe same party of which bis audience were composed , were met at the time he was speakiBg , to hear the same principles ad-

vocated as were from time to time in that room , in no less than twenty-six rooms within twelve miles of Manchester —( cheers )—and they would go on until they were properly established in the minds of the people , never more to be erased . ( Cheers . ) Mr , Campbell here argued that if the people were , comparatively speaking , well off—nay , that if they were fed like spaniels , tfeat would be no reason why they should cease the agitation fer the Charter . But , said he , there is another very cogent reason why wo should continue , namely , because it is the birthright of every man in the United Kingdom . ( Cheers . ) Now , he would ask , whether it was possible for the country to be content so long as the wealth is wrung from tho real producers , and they left to starve . So long as there was no
protection for human blood and bones , he , for his part , would tell his audience whenever he had to address them , that they ought not to be content while they saw , without a Bpeedy alteration , nothing but ruin to themselves , and not the least prospect for their children . ( A voice , we never will . ) Here the speaker gave the following statement , which he said was not from Chartist authority , nor from Tory or Whig authority—but from Corn Law Repeal authority—that there were £ 700 , 000 , 000 of wealth produced every year by 6 . 000 , 000 of people ; that every man whs works earns £ 116 13 s . 4 d . per year . But do the working people receive their share ef it ? No . Tho average wages of the operatives at the highest calculation is not more than 9 s . or 10 " . per wetk . So that upon an average
every man receives £ 25 per year ; the rest is taken from him in the shape of taxes , te keep a set of idlers who produce nothing . Every man , according to that statement , is robbed of £ l 13 s . per week , which should be appropriated to purchase food and clothingl Let the industrious millions know this , and they will see no reason to be content in their present situation . ( Hear , hear . ) Again , according to the statement of a statistical scholar , he meant Porter ' s Tables , it took £ 12 , 000 . 000 to support the state church ; the Poor Law , £ 8 , 000 , « 00 ; local taxes , 4108 , 080 , 000 ; the rental of the land , £ 120 , 000 , 000 ; the brokers , bankers , and all those who live by buying cheap and selling dear took £ 3 l 0 , 00 # , 000 , and loft only £ 25 a yeorfor the real producer . Every man who produces , therefore , ia
robbed every week to the tune of £ 1 . 13 s . 4 d . Here the speaker commenced his remarks upon Universal Suffrage , and asked what would or what could be done under Universal Suffrage to better the condition of tho people ? He , for his part , thought that it was the duty of both speakers and writers to show tke results which would follow such a measure when achieved . ( Hear , hear . ) No man has a right to monopolise one hundred acres of land . Nay , nor twenty ; and he would go still further—not an inch . The laud was given by the omnipotent Ruler of the universe for the sustenance and comfort of mankind . On this point he was borne out by the ablest authors , to wit , Blackstone , Paine , Locke , aud othtrs , tbat the land ought to be common property , and this could only be done by obtaining the Charter .
And at the present time there was a brighter prospect of having the Charter than ever . Ho saw by report that Finality Jack ( as he had used te call him , but of late he had been glad to alter terms , ) had given notice , after being driven to it far a hustings question , to move a committee to inquire into the Corn Lvws ; and if we continued as we have done of late , he will be very glad to move a committee for the Charter or something else . ( Cheers . ) Suppose the government were to purchase 700 , 090 acres of land at this time , when distress and want is stalking through the land , and build houses upon it ; this in a very short time would find work for what the Whigs term surplus population . But some of you will be ready to ask , Where will you get the money from ? To which
he would answer , that the people must obtain the Suffrage , and would it not be as reasonable to suppose that if a Parliament chosen by the Tow could give £ 20 , 0 t 0 , 000 to emancipate West Indian slaves , that a Parliament chosen by the many would grant the same sum to banish Great Britain slavery . ( Hear , hear . ) This would be a very efficient means of keeping up wages , and Repealing the Corn Laws , besides making those who only now consume n et / ciety of producers . Here Mr . Campbell referred to America , and said that Universal Suffrage was not acted upon all through America ; but in those states where tbt-y came nearest to it , the people were niore happy than in any other part of the country . He made a cumparisan betwixt that part of America governed by
monarchy , ( Canada , ) and the othsr side which was governed by democracy . The first was a system j > tyranny and want , and the latter , of plenty and liberty , ( cheers ') and only about a mile opart Mr . Campbell here related a dialogue -which took place betwixt Pitkethly and soma other gentleman , about the , Whigs being ticked out of office , which convulsed his hearers with laughter . He next glanced at the objection which was frequently brought against the peopla having the Suffrage extended ; but Li ; rd John Kussell had , however inadvertently , let the cat out of the bag . He ( Lerd John ) knew better than that ; he was not afraid of the people ' s ignorance , but rather of their intelligence The little fellow knew they had too much for him : for , said he , " If you grant the people Universal
Suffrage , they will abolish the laws of primogeniture . They would teparate the holy alliance of churoh and state , and even subvert the throne , and upset all the g »> . l institutions . " Good institutions , indeed ! They may be so to such as Lord Jubn Russell , but are they s-o to you , tbe working portion of the community ? ( Xo . ) Mr . Campbell said , that by abolishing the laws of primogeniture , and giving the Government alone the power of purchasing the land , it would in time again be the property of the whole of the people . | Hear , hear . ) He then explained how the Bedford fiuuily came in possession of their estates , aud gave a full evecount of the conduct of Henry tho 8 : h , and W m . the Co ; queror , and the other noblemen—noblemen did he say ? yes , they -were noble Brigands ; they -were noble
eo far as robbing and plundering were concerned . He male some remarks , which would not , although true , have pleased Lord John : and , said Campbeil , the little fellow was only afraid , that if the people had Universal Suffrago , they -would begin to think which was the best way of getting the land back which had been stolen from thtni , and for that reason they ( the Whigs ) must not give it them . ( " Right lad . ") Ba .-e and bad as they have been , he would ii' / t tike a fdrthinj »' s worth from them , but he would abolish tho laws of primogeniture , and every man who wi&hed to sell his land , must sell it to the state , and , it would not be long before the land came in possession of the whole people a *; ain . ( Hear , hear . ¦ He would now take the liberty of making a remark , in reference to his own
Uhfortunate country , Ireland . It was the same enemy which inflicted the wrongs upon one country as the e ' . her . Tbe upper and middle clashes were banded together , to set as much out of the labourer as possible . The interest o' thy iiii ' . Mio and working classes were as distiuct as linht from dark . The one wanted the Iaheur as cheap as he could , while the other wished to sell it as dear as he could , or * ather get a proper price for it , if possible But he ( Campbell ) liked the law -which would make every man a producer , and would carry out the divine law of the apostie Paul , that if a mail would not work , neither should he e ; it . The speaker then related the following anecdote : —The week previous he had been opposing the repealers , at a large meeting at Oldliara , at which a great number of
auperfinec wted cotton lords wtre present ; and in the course of Mr . Paulton'saddrtss . he quoted tbe first and second verses of the fust chapter of the Bible , and firew the inference that the laud should belong to the people , " ami cursed is ha that muzzleth tho ox , " &c , hut -when he iCamp ^ ell ) got up , he told them , that if Mr . Paulton was allowed to quote Scripture for his arguments , surely lie might do tne same . But he questioned whether the gentii men upon the platform would relish it very well . He then read from the Testament , " That he who will not work , neither shall he eat- " Tae cotton lords writhed and appeared chagrined at this , while the workics laughed for a cunhiderable time . ( Cheers . ) The pricci |> l s of the Cfiarter wtsre so well known in every large town in England , that no faction
can call a public meeting , at whicti the Chartists would not be able to carry a motion for the Chatte * . There had been a public meeting in the Town-ball , Manchester ; likavfiae in the Town-ball , 8 a . lf . nrd ,-for tbe repeal of the Corn Laws . At both meetings an uniendmeiit was carried for Universal Suffrage . He h : ul written to Robc-rt Inglis , but not as an apologist for the Corn Laws , stating the facts , ami -was ready hinneli to pr-jve , and Cuuiti brini < hundreds more to do so , that the petition wSdch emanated fruiu Manchester , has not been obtained by public opinion . As a striking illustration of the progress of democracy , it was now about five years ago , when there w « re but a few towns in England , where they had rooms for the purpose of holding Chartist in
meetings , or ra'Jher Radical meetings , us they were theu ca . led . TLey had gone on at a rapid speo i from that time to ttiis , and now there were as ninny rooms open in Manchester , as there used to be in a'l England . The meetings were chiefly addressed by the middle c : as 9 formerly , but now , as soon as one came forward to "Pp ose tLem , that very moment the people would ask him where he got his coat—( laughter )—and the working classes could meet their oppressors and tell them to their teeth of their aggressions and in justice ( Hear , hear . ) These gentlemen , who go about the country full of sympathy for the workiug cl isses , and who wish to give them a large loaf , never advert to the Poor Law Amendment Bill , and to the Banking system ; and if it was not for the latter , their trade would not go n « u » it had done to the injury of the working classes . We were producing more by fourteen times in 1835 . than we were In 1797 , and if trade advanced with tbe
same space , uncontrolled as it had been , the devil a bit better would the working classes be by a Repeal of the Cora Lawg . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought he had produced sufficient motives for eTery man before him to come forward who had not done , and join the association . Every father , mother , patriot , and philanthropist , should doeverytning hi hisorherpower to obtain thefreedom of himself and cMldren , and declare that they would not rear children to be slaves at all event * . ( Hear . ) Now , ene word , in reference to the proceedings of last Wednesday evening . [ The particulars of this , will be found in another x > & « of the paptr . ] He > was very sorry indeed to witness the conduct of his feliow ceuntrjmen , the Repealers . We , as Irishmen , were met to discuss our grievances . The address wuich was got up was such as no Irishman could object to . He ( Campbell ) had written to the Secretary of the Repeal Association , te a *> k him whether he could iutientii ' y himself with such conduct as that which was exhibited , in Ihe room on Wednesday night , but it had done the

Cbiurtist cause a great deal of good , for many Irishmen , who never had joined the Association , declared they would do so , seeing that we have justice and reason on our sid « . ( Hear , hear ., However , the address would rw sent to nine different papers for publication ; the Northern Star , oar own paper , the two Chartist Circulars , the Tfee / clp Dispatch , ihe Sun , and several of the Irish papers . He wished the people of England , and tbe people of his own country , Ireland , to go together . Since he had been associated with the working men of England , he had had demonstrative proof that the people of England wished for nothing for themselves , but they weve as willing to giv « to the people of Ireland , and indeed it was emphatically the interest of the producers of wealth to be united in all the
British dominions , until the light of liberty shine into the mind of every Irishman . Here Mr . Campbell said there was no necessity for anything like an outbreak , but had he been living in ' 88 , his life ' s blood should have been spilt , or he would have died struggling for the liberty ( Here we lost the last sentence amidst the deafening plaudits . ) He hoped the psople would continue united another five months , until the " caged lion" should be released from his den—( loud cheers );—and when the mighty fingers of O'Brien would be brought into action in favour of our cause , and when all of them should lend their energies for the purpose of crashing the small fry , and by the next spring they would have such an agitation as was never before witnessed in England ; when they would havo , not as now , a Convention of ten only , but a Convention of
three or four hundred , and they would be able to present a petition signed by three or four millions , demanding justice for the whole people of the United Kingdom . Let the working men of England , Ireland , and Scotland never be afraid ef joining the sacred baad of patriots , but join heart and hand , and assist in breaking the yoke of bondage , and snapping asunder the chains of slavery , which have so tang held both mind and body in subjection . He thanked them for their patient hearing , and sat down amidst the loud cheers of the assembly , which was numerous , respectable , and attentive . A vote of tbanks was given by acclamation for Lis-servicea , and a letter was read from Dr . M'Douall , which urgad upon the committee to exort themselves in getting up a petition for O'Brien , and the assembly retired highly satisfied with the evening ' s treat .
BRADFORD . —On Sunday last , the Teetotal Chartists of Bradford held a meeting in the open air , nrar the Christian Chartist Church , Longcrofc-place , when they had the opportunity of promulgating the principles of total abstinence to a very numerous assembly . The chair was taken by J . B . Alderson , who opened the meeting by a very appropriate address , and was followed by Messrs . Jenner , Wooller , and Waterhouse . A great many seemed to be convinced of the utility of the arguments adduced and several signed the pledge . It is their intention to hold another at nine o ' clock in the morning , on Sunday next .
CHICKENLEY — The Chartists here have met and passed resolutions to the effect" that the plan of Lovett , Collins , and Co . is entirely useless , as the National Charter Association comprises in its operation all tho means for their redress , except so * cialism ; that the plan , if fairly meant , ought to havo been submitted for consideration to the Delegate meeting at Manchester ; that they will never countenance any uxtiona ! plan by whomsoever put forth , which has not been discussed and agreed upon by a national meeting of delegates ; that they will never give their support to any plan upholden by Daniel O'Connell ; and that they repose unbounded con * fidence in , and give their best thanks to , Feargus O'Connor and the Editor of the Northern Star .
