What mighty treasures are by thee revealed , More thau Peruvia ' s mines can ever yield ! Not rich Golconda ' s glittering diamond rare Can purchase health , —then bail to thee OLD PABR ! 'Twas thy high purpose to make known to man , The power to lengthen out on earth , his little span Of life , —which erst was woe and care , But now is bright with joy , thro' thee old park !

" Gentlemen , —I feel it my duty for the good cf suffering mankind , to send you this true statement of the astonishing effects which Parr ' s Pills have produced upon me , and also upon my wife and daughter . Myself and wife have both been strangers to good health for nearly twenty years , until we accidentally heard tell of your pills , which we have taken for several weeks , and their effects upon us have been almost miraculous , both now feeling young , strong , and in health ; my daughter , also , has found them equally beneficial .

He earnestly recommends them to the sick and afflicted , having proved their infinite value . ( Signed ) " May 20 , 1841 . " " William Wild . "

The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her domestic obligations . She took cold when ouly 15 years old , and tho cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life Pills . She had tried almost every kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box she found herself completely cured , and was never afflicted in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now bettor in health than she has ever been in her lite . This cure does indeed appear miraculous ,- but for the satisfaction of the most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answer any inquiries , either by personal application , or by letter addressed "Mrs .

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Prout , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 , 1841 . SIR , —I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills hare been of the greatest service to me . Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most-painful disease Sciatica ; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a period , baffles any description which I can possibly give of my then miserable state . I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . I had the best medical advice , including that of two physicians in London , without obtainiad any essential relief . I went to Margate , and had the best medical advice , trying the warm bath there and at other places , without obtaining any benefit . A short time ago I was recommended to try Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills ; and vras thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuablemedicine of Messrs . Hammond and Co ., chemists , of this town , and before I had taken the quantity therein contained , I was entirely free from pain , and speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills , and happily there has been no return of this distressing malady . You are at liberty to publish my case , in the hope thereby that this excellent medicine may be the means of relieving others . I am , Sir , your ' s respectfully , J . B . MISKIN , Brewer and maltster , Dartford , Kent ; P . S . —If I could possibly speak in stronger terms of your'iuvaluable medicine , I should be most happy , for it is impossible for language to describe the relief I have experienced . The ' never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism ^ have secured to them , a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give relief in a few hours , where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably Bhort space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism , either chronic or acute , lumbago , sciatica , pains in the head or face , and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection - , in fact , such has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and complete safety of this medicine , that it has astonished all who have taken it , and there is not a city , town , or village in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine .

PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BY EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , THE SILENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonarrhosa , Gleets , and Strictures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which ; ire added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all its attendant sympathies and dangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , With general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infeotion . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 i . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of SyriacKtn ( Price Us . and 33 s . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Us . per Box , 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 sexes , including Gonorrho 3 a Gleets , Secon / dary Symptoms , Strictures ,- Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without Ios 3 of time , confinement / or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed , * and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being au antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only te saturate their system with Mercury , aqd tht business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are , annually either mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owea its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy tb be extinguished b " y attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ^ but when neglected or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that i a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of ' one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and whioh never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of n Uerate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

Hence the infinite variety of complaints an infected state of the blood induces , arid hence , the new and deceptive forms a taintedhabit puts on , which often deceiva the mo ^ t emine ** of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towards a cure . In those disorders wherein salivation has left tha patient nncured , weak , and disheartened , aid whea no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health which he has unfortunately lost , the Pcbifying Specific Pills will be found the only effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever been successful , though administered in many desperate cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well aa removing Pimples from tho Face , Sore Legs , or other disagreeable Eruptions on tho head , face , aad body . .

MEDICAL ADTICE . MESSRS . WILKINSON AND CO . SURGEONS , No . 13 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds . HAVING devoted their Studies exclusively for many years to the successful treatment of tha Venereal Disease , in all its various forms ; also , to the frightful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , "Self Abuse , " may be Personally Consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night , and on Sundays till Two . Attendance every Thursday at No . 4 , Georgestreet , Bradford , ( from Ten till Fi r « . ) In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within » Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making only oaa personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medicines that will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means have failed . They hopethat the successful , easy , and expedition ! mode they have adopted , of eradicatingeverysymptom of a certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving the constitution in full vigour , and free from injury , will establish their claims for support . As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but , on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in such a manner &s not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can avail himself of the , greatest improvements ifl modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mila nature , whioh can only be made by one in daflf practice , after due consideration of all circumstance * In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and whiffl may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill ' Patients labouring under this disease , cannot be to 9 cautious into whose hands they commit themselvss . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing th « ordeal of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The follomag are some of the many symptoms that distinguish this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on thfl head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swellings in the neck , nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatisBi &c . &o .

They desire & visit from O'Connor while he is . in Ireland , STOtTRBRIPCB—A pabiio meeting trM held in the Social Institution , on Thursday last , the 7 th Inst , to hear *¦ leetore frem Mr . Muos , the Chartist missionary for this district The room-was- » eU filled with attentive hearers . At the conclusion of the address a nnantaums rote of tftwifca was given to the Lecturer , which was briefly acknowledged by Mr . Mason , who called on his hearers to join the National Charter Association . SeTeral new members were enrolled . A spirit of inquiry is manifested amongst the working men , from whkh we hope much good .
ROWZtSY , Staffordshire . —A meeting was held at the boast > of Air . Samnel Bamsley , sign of the Woodman , Corngroves , Staffordshire , on the 5 th instant , when the following resolution was passed unanimously , "That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is the duty of eTery lover of hia country to make common eause with the Chartists , who are united to emancipate themselves from the work of slavery , and assume the dignified name of freemen ; aud believing the N&tienal Charter Association calculated to effect the permanent establishment of the people's rights , —resolved , ( herefore , tint this meeting do join the aforesaid Association without any delay , and that we send for cards of membership immediately . ' *
CXtlTHERO . —The Chartisia held their weekly meeting oa "Wednesday evening , the 6 ; h inat , at the Temperance HoteL ilr . Whittam was called to the chair , and after introducing the object of the meeting , he called -on Mr . Johnson to move the first resolution : « That this meeting views with alarm the distress now prevailing in society , and is of opinion that nothing short of a voice in the representation of the country , -can raise the producers of all wealth to that state in ¦ ociety they ought to occupy . " Mr . Johnson said he bad great pleasure in moving the resolution , for nothing short of Universal Suffrage in the very nature of things , ¦ would benefit the working man , and raise him from that thraldom in which the people cf this country are now held' by those who have the exclusive power to
make laws . ilr . Whittaksr seconded the resolution ; Mr . Marsden was called to support it . He entered very minutely into the principles of the People ' s Charter , showing the necessity for the adoption * f its principles , before the irongiasp of injustice would let go its hold . He weBt back to the time when the people of this country eijjoyedthe privileges we now contend for ; and showed how many legislative acts of Parliament it took to ratify Mzgna Charta , in order to keep the monarch from crushing the people ; he then entered into the objections brought against the Charter , not only by the higher and middle classes , but by some working men . Some say there is not sufficient education—some say they are too ignorant , and others say it would products anarchy and bloodshed . All those eharzes he rebutted
in a masterly manxer , and laid hare the sophistry of those who laid them up « n the shoulders of the working men , and concluded by maintaining that if the rights of the people be much longer withheld , they would be justified in resorting to any means for their attainment ilr . ilarsdenwas loudly cheered during his addiess . The resolution was put from the chair and carried unanimously . Mr . Dewhurst was called to move the second resolution : — " That this meeting is of opinion that until every man of twenty-one years of age of sane mind and * untainted by crime , have a voice in sending members of Parliament , justice in legislation will never be granted them . " The resolution being seconded , was adopted ananimonaJy . ilr . Pinder was called to moTe the third resolution , " That this meeting pledges
itself to use every lawful means until the principles of universal liberty be firmly established as the laws o »" the British nation . " He said he should net trespass on the time of the meeting , as there was a gentleman waiting to support the resolution , who was far more able to enter into the subject than he was , but he said in his opinion there was one law which had done more injury to this country than any other , and he thought from it had sprung almost all other bad laws ;—he referred to the law of primogeniture . This law monopolised the emoluments of that trefele-headed monster , the church , the law , and army , which" pensioned the two , three , four , and so on , sons of the aristocracy , on the industry of the people , which sooner or later , if not removed , would ruin this country or any other .

looked at tae People ' s Charter , not only to benefit this country , in a political sense , but to raise the moral condition of the people , inasmuch , as no one tainted by crime , could eBjoj ^ op exercise the pri vileges , and on the&s grounds he contended that it would make raeu honest , sober , and upright .

and ef course they could sot expect so much from am as they would from some-of the great Lords or Dukes ,-or some of the learned of the land who went about filling the people ' s heads with nonsense ; but although he was . not far book learned , he knew as much of the evils that afflict society as tbe most learned amongst them , —nor ' did he think they ever conferred any great benefit upon society , nor did he think they were able , if even they were willing . As a proof of this , ke would refer them to the learning and abilities of the last four Kings of England . He dealt out some very sarcastic and cutting remarks upon royalty , and in the course of a long and splendid speech , glanced at the various points of the Charter , and called upon those who had the welfare of their country at heart to use every exertion
in their power to make it the law -of the land . His speech occupied an hour in delivery ; throughout hia whole speech he was listened to with marked attention and warmly applauded at the close . Thechairman next called upon Mr . Boardman . He commenced by stating that he was n « great speaker , but would merely inform them that he was a Chartist and a teetotaller . He had been a teetotaller about seven years and a Chartist all bis life , and the more he studied these subjects he thought them the better . He was glad to see the Chartists here beginning to do their own work . The establishment of this room was a proof of their sincerity . He hoped they would become sober , thinking , and reading Chartists , and do their utmost to support the present establishment The Chairman next called upon Mr .
Maw . He commenced by showing in a clear and candid manner the treackery of the Tories at the late election . They all , he sa-. d , expressed their abhorrence of the Xew Poor Law and pledged themselves to have it repealed as soon as Parliament met , but instead of that they had done all in their power to prevent any alteration in that obnoxious measure ; but if they had been careless he hoped the people would be more determined in their exertions to have that disgraceful measure erased from the statute book . He took a general survey of the existing evils we labour under , and pressed upon the audience the necessity of the Charter . He contended that in his opinion it w&uld be a cure for all our evils , and that if the people would only work faithfully , it ¦ would soon be established as a law . He had hnmbly advocated the Charter for tbe last three years , and he
was sure he would never cease till it was made law . Mr . Maw concluded a long and argumentative speech amidst the plaudits of the meeting . The Chairman next calltd upon Mr . Anderson who commenced by stating that as the night was far advanced , he wruld not take up much of their time ; but as the various speakers had pointed out the necessity and beauty of the Charter , he would endeavour to show them that what the Chartists Bought for was their rights according to the Constitution of England . He quoted Blackstone , Smith , and others , in support of his arguments , and proved satisfactorily that what he sought for had , and should again be the law ; he also considered that even bad it never been the law , and though there was no precedent to go by , still , if it was
a thing that a majority of the people wanted , they ought to have it . He took a glance at the transactions of the late Gsvernment for the last ten years , and proved that every act they bad passed since they came into power was to better the few at the expence of the many . He showed the cruelties they inflicted upon Ireland , by the passing of the Coercion Bill for that unfortunate country , it being among the first fruits of a Reformed Parliament , and proved that Ireland wanted more bread and less bayonets to make them a peaceable and contented people . He concluded by urging the necessity of the Charter . He said if one case was
stronger than another to convinc 9 them cf the necessity of the Charter , it was the transactions of the two factions at the late elections ; he referred them to the late contest at Sunderland , and concluded by moving the following resolution , " That the thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby given to Messrs . Williams and Binns , and the Chartists of Sunderland , for their noble exertions at the late election , and hope they will go on in the good work till Heaven crowns their labours with success . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Cameron , and carried amidst the approbation of the meeting . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up highly satisfied .
2 HXDDLESBRO ' . —List Tuesday night being the night appointed for the discussion on tbe Com Laws , bting resumed , by the time of commencing business the room was cramaed full , expecting to hear what the repealers had got to advance in support of their position ,- but as none of them showed face , the meeting took it far granted that they had seen that they had the wrong side of the question , and rather thau have their pride humbled by poor but honest Chartists , they ¦ would absent themselves altogether . Tbe meetiDg of coarse was turned into a Chartist one , and was ably addressed by 'Messrs . Holliashead , Sutherland , Boardman , Maw and others , on the great distress which is existing throughout the country .

aiANCHESTER . —During the last week , this town was placarded with bills , the following of which is a copy which was very extensively read by tbe people : " Prospects of the people . An address will be delivered and a friendly conversation held in the Hall of Science , Camp-field , on Sunday , October 10 th , 1841 , at half-past two o ' clock , with a view to promote a union of sentiment amongst good men of all classes , and consider the best means of breaking down the present grinding system of oppression , and establish liberty , justice , and prosperity as a securer aad lasting foundation . Corn Law repealers , Legislative Union Repealers , Socialists , Chartists , and ^ aU parties who profcBS to advocate the cause of the people , are invited to attend and state their views . Messrs . 0 Brien , Leach , Campbell ,
Bell , and others will attend , and take part in the conversation . At half-past six o ' clock , in the evening , an address will be delivered in the same place , by James Brontene O'Brien , Et the close of which , questions will be replied to . Admission—body of the hall , one penny ; gallery , twopence . The surplus , after defraying expences , will go to aid Mr . O'Brien in establishing a newspaper press . N . B . It being the monthly social teaparty , friends froni the country and others can be accommodated with an excellent tea for sixpence each . Wheeler , Printer . " According to the abeve notice , the capacious room was well filled , although the weather was unfavourable ; the audience was composed of nearly ; all parties . Shortly after tbe time appointed , Mi . O'Brien entered and was received with applause . Mr . ! Stansfield , a sincere and an intelligent Chartist , was i called to the chair , who , after stating the object of ' the meeting , hoped that they would give every one ; a fair hearing , introduced Mr . O'Brien to open the
; meeting . In the eoorsa of his remarks , he stated that i he CouM speak fairly to the present meeting . He was ; himself , a Chartist , a Socialist , a Repealer of the Union , j and a Corn LawRepealer . Hethenwentto shew theutter , impossibility for any of the objects to be obtained witb > I ont unity , and that , then , the first object was to obtain j political power , which would enable them to give to i Ireland a Repeal of tbe Union , Repeal the Com Laws , and assist the Socialists to carry thair system into oractice . ^ After delivering an appropriate address to alf parties , i which occupied half an hour , he sat down . Mr . John-¦ son , a Socialist , next addressed the meeting , giving j bis Tiews of the state of society , and the best way to I better the condition of the people —acknowledging the I right of the people to the suffrage , and would much 1 like to see the working classes improving their minds , aad prepare themselves to make use of that power which i they ought to have , and as a plan of instructing the peo-! pie , he knew of ao plan better than that of the social-¦ Ists . A Repealer of the Union , who was in the gallery , | next spoke relative to Repeal and the Charter . Mr . j Watts , a social Missionary , delivered ajvery sensible I and argumentative speech , A policeman who said fc *

bad-cffme thither attracted by the bills , in hia private capacity , said he could not agree with the Socialists that the speediest way to obtain political power was by adopting Socialism . He himself was a Corn Law Repealer and a Chartist , sir . Warren , from the Cora Law Association , spoke * in a- very conciliatory tone , acknowledged himself a Chartist , Com Law Repealer , and a Repealer of the Union , and had come to that meeting although the first be ever attended on the Sunday , to do all he could to effect a union of all patties . This gentleman , like the rest , was heard with dumb silence . Mr . James Leach followed and treated the audience to a speech replete with facts , arguments , and high-toned eloquence , which elicited great applause , declaring that such was the progress of the principles
of the Charter , that no other agitation would meet with the concurrence ot the majority of the people . Mr . O'Brien replied , and thus ended a meeting which might be properly called an Intellectual feast , and to see how the working men conld meet calmly , dispassionately , and soberly with a view to elicit truth . Sorely this would have made the enemies of the people tremble , besides being an indication that shortly there will be a union of the working people to obtain justice , and nothing leas . The people dispersed highly pleased with the afternoon ' s proceedings . The Socialists , in order to prove themselves not only philosophers in theory , but in practice , had provided an excellent tea , which was served up with true discipline aad decorum . Upwards of three hundred
sat down . In addition to the enjoyment of tbe gunpowder and the currant cake , there was a choir of select music engaged , who sang very sweet aud lively airs , which added greatly to the entertainment Tea being over , tbe cloth was drawn and the tables sided , perfect order restored , and the people then began to flock into the hall with Buch rapid speed , that in less than half an hour the room was crowded to suffocation . The magnificent hall , at this time illumined by the gas , and such a living mass , presented a most splendid appearance , Tbe staircase , platform an& gallery , both sitting and standing places , were taken up ; according to calculation of competent judges , 3 , 000 persons , at leaBt , were present Mr . Stanfield was called to the chair again . He made a few remarks relative to the truly animating meeting in the afternoon ; and sat down , assuring them that any
questions which were proper should be answered . Mr . O'Brien then rose , and delivered a long , powerful , argumentative , and convincing lecture on the land , the currency , tbe Corn Laws , the Socialists , and the Charter . He continued for three hours , after which answered questions which quite exhausted him , so much so , that he had to be led home by his friends . Mr . Leach next spoke in explanation of the afternoon ' s meeting . A vote of thanks was given to the Directors and Managers of the Hall of Science , the Lecturers , and the Chairman . Before closing this sketch , In justice to the working men of Manchester , we believe this to be one of the most cneering prospects of a firm determination of forming a solid union , against which the puny efforts of the Whigs , or even twenty Sir Roberts , will be of no avail , and ominous of future events , the rights of the people being achieved .
WOLVERBAMFTON-On Tuesday , Mr . Mason delivered an able and talented lecture on the rights of properiy , at the Association Room , Snow Hill , to a crowded and attentivo audience . It was a rare display of talent , and he was heard with the greatest atteution , and repeatedly cheered . He entered ably into the subject of labour , the coil , capital , and machinery , for upwards of one hour , and sat down amidst general satisfaction . Several fresh members were enrolled , and a liberal collection made ; a great many ef £ hs members renewed their cards of membership . We have commenced
visiting the trades , and Messrs . Mogg , Candy and Fanner , are the deputation appointed . At the conclusion of tbe meeting , we waited upon the Tailors' Society , at the Trade Lsdge , entered into detail of our principles and designs , and Mr . Mason , who had kindly come with us , fully explained the wishes of the deputation , —the necessity of cooperation , —and which seemed to fully satisfy the majority of the members present . They , in reply , said , that they would consider our proposition , and lay it before a full meeting , and then give us an answer by that night fortnight
On Wednesday evening , Mr . H . Candy commenced a series of lectures , chiefly intended for the Irish in and about Wolverhampton , on Ireland , its system of govjrnment , its institutions , and the policy with which England had governed her , with its Union and its Repeal , and tbe necessity ef the sons of toil , in each kingdom , being upon the terms of union and peace , cooperation and love , towards carrying out the great principles of the People ' s Charter , and the rights of industry . The room was crowded , and we were glad to see several lads of the Emerald Isle , who beard the lecture with great attention , and promised to come on the next meeting night of the lecture and bring more of tbeir countrymen to hear for themselves , for they never had heard the like before . This promises to tell well . Some fresh members joined , and several more renewed their cards .
-Biudmore , or better known by the title of the Lad ' s Grave , a small village at the extremity of the Four Cross Roads , almost secluded from the world , there resided , in some where about a dozen cottages , many of the hardy sons of labour , in the fire-iron , lock , aud hammer line . Several of them were out-and-out Corn Law Repealers , and veritable Whigs . Some of them young men and married , and three of the patriarchal gurt , venerable in their appearance , whose words and opinions were both law and gospel to the younger branches of the village . These old men , though far advanced in years , still are obliged to labour twelve or fourteen hours per day . The distance is about a mile
from Wolverhampton . The Charter was not known there some three months ago . Through the request of Mr . Joseph Stewart , our friend Candy went over one evening , some weeks back , broke the ground up In spite of Whig opposition , aud sowed the good seed . It has not been in vain . The whole village , with tbe exception of two , have become members , and through the exertions of the two Stewarts , Mr . Candy has for this last three Sundays bad remarkable good congregations , and very attentive audiences , and they are some of the right sort . The more opposition we encounter , the more resolved we are for tbe stiuggle , to gain our Charter and No Surrender .
LOUGHBOROTJGH . —A meeting of delegates was held in the Associatien Room , Swan-street , Oct 10 th , when Mr . North was called to the chair . We had a good attendance , considering the state of the weather ; the rain had fallen very heavy during the greatest part of the afternoon . Moved by Mr . Pratt , and seconded by Mr . Lydall , " That this meeting views with sorrow the apathy of tbe working class in this district , and deem it expedient that a talented lecturer should be engaged for a short time to arouse the people from their slumbers , that they may assist in the glorious struggle for liberty . " Moved by Mr . Stevenson , and seconded by Mr . Smith , of Normanton , "That the delegates now assembled pledge themselves to do their
utmost to raise funds for the above purpose , as they are of opinion that nothing can be done but by perseverance . " Moved by Mr . Pratt , and seconded by Mr . Jones , " That the Secretary be ordered to write to the villages that have not sent delegates , to ask their opinion of the above , and to adjourn the meeting till the 17 th of October , at two o ' clock in the afternoon . " Moved by Mr . Bucknall , and seconded by Mr . Eveleigh , " That the delegates now assembled ngree to an address calling on their brother slaves to come forward and assist to overturn the citadel of corruption . " [ The address has been sent to us , but we have not room for it—Ed . ]
SKIPTON . —On the 9 th inst ., Mr . T . B Knowles , of Keighley , delivered a lecture in the Temperance Hall , to a crowded audience . He went on to shew that so long as the aristocracy was kept up by the accursed law of primogeniture , so long will the working class be oppressed ; and that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not be any benefit to the working classes . At the close of the lecture several persons joined the Association ,
