Luton , Bedford 8 hirev 0 ct . 19 , 1841 . SIR , —I feel desirous of expressing to you the great 'benefit-which j have received from the use of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills . I have for several years been afflicted with Rheumatism shd Gout , the attacks of which were excessively severe During one of these painful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box : of-Blair ' s Pills , from the use of which I found immediate relief ^ and very soon entirely recovered . At : a subsequenf period I was bo severely attacked that I thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself under medical care . I di 4 so ; but not finding tbe relief which f expected , I again became my own physician . At this time my legs and thighs were swelled to a very great extent . I immediately procured a box of Blair ' s Pills from Mr . W . Phillips , your agent in this town , and after taking two doses I was free from pain , and the swelling subsided . -I now never fail to use them whenever . I am attacked by this painful malady , and they invariably give me relief after o « e or two doses . Several of my acquaintances use them , and experience-the same benefit . I trust you will insert tiiis among your -l . » t of cases , as I am anxious 16 bear witness to the efficacy of this excellent medicine . I am , Sir , ybur ' s respectfully , Richard Stonb . Sugar Loaf , London Road , Luton . The never-failiDg 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 are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism , either ehronic 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 evideacea of its benign infJueue « .

THE CO RDIAL B A LM O F S YRI AC UM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of lite , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative Sy stem , whether constitutional or ; acquired , loss of sexual power , ana debility arising from Syphiltio dis <; ase ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , b y early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the coustitucion is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up wh $ h places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous Eracttce are not confined to its pure physical result , ut branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of Beductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of mahhood- ! - into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How manymen cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiuf ss ; undermining domestic harmony ; aud striking at the rery soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preiervation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is mo 3 t certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with -any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &c . As nothing can be better adapted to ht \ » . od nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged io be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melanchol y ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved : by its use . And even where the disease of Stkrility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning touic qualities of the Cordial Balm of % riacum will warm and purify the Wood and juices , increase the auimal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impedi ment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into ike Matrimonial State , lest in the event of prooreation occurriug , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are , most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price Ms . each , or the quantity of four in . one Family bottle for 335 ., by which one lls . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ., Surgepns , 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , ( Private Entrancf in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Observe , none are genuine without the signature of R . & L .

Messrs , PERRY expect when consulted by letter , the usual fee of one pound , without which , no notice whatever can be taken of the communication . Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the deta . 1 . of their cases , as to the duration of the complaint , the symptoms , age , habits of living , and general occupation . Medicines can be forwarded to any part of the world ; no difficulty can occur , as they will be securely packed , and carefully prqtected from observation . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . per box . ( Observe the signature of R . and L . PERRY and Co . on the outside of each wrapper ) are well known throughout Eur « pe and America , to be therndbt certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom ° f the Venereal Disease , in both sexes ,. including Gonorrhasa , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss 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 are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic . Affections , Eruptions on any part of the bodyjUlcerations , -Strofuious or Venereal Taint , Deing justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour .

MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCORTT , VENERKAL , QB SYPHILITIC DISEASES , BHBUMaTISM , AMD . NERVOUS OR SEXUAL DEBILITT . MR . M ; WILKINSON , SURGEON , &c . 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of , the generative and ^ nervous system , in the renjoVal of thosa distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive aud destructive habit , and to the successful treatmeat of VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice ana medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent ; and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect curt is completed in o » e week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases where other practititioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is madej the corroding poison is checked in its infaricyV smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can dfect a perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining inSueiicebf this poison , and a . mere rfmoval of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease ^ and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treat * ment of these insidious and dangerous diseasesj can only be acquired by those who are in daily praotice i and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to theiguorant use of Mercury and other dangerous'remedies' , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by ths circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensnev at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and boues . which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful Bufferings . ; What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of lifej by a disease always local at first i aud which never proves fatal if properly treated , a all its fatal results are owing either to neglect OX ignorance . Mr . W . ' s invariable rule is to . give a Card to each ai his Patients as a gwkrar . tee for cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or return his fee .

Mellon ) moved the following resolntien : " That we , a portion of the inhabitants of Beiiist , being convinced of tbe unjust system of representation in our Commons * Bouse of Parliament , and of the banef al effects thereby produced up jn society , and believing that the People ' s Charter , as embodied in the National Petition , is the only remedy for ths ? grievanc . s complained of , it 5 s th ^ opinion of this met tine that each of its numbers should procure for the National Petition as many signatures as possible . " Mr Diniri Wall rose and said he felt deeply the jistiee of what had been said , and from his
own-observation could testify to much misery which at present existed ; that he was well convinced of tke almost nnivereal discontent which prevailed in the Einds of the ¦ people with regard to the imperfect and anjust representation given them in our Parliament , and - that he fully believed some eficient remedy was now loudly called for from tvery comer of the United Kingdom ; sad convinced as he was that that remedy was provided in the Peoples Charier , he beeged to second the resolution which had just been proposed , and declared that he for one waa ready and willing to exert himself to the Tery uttermost to procure signatures to the National Petition . —The resolution was then pat from the chair aikd carried unanimously . —Mi . Jas . Carlilenext moved , ** That tbe National Petition be adopted for signature
ky this meeting . " This motion was seconded by Mr . John Boyd . and was carried without a dissentient—Huch Carlile ntxt presented himself , and addressed the matting at considerable length , shewing that Reform in all countries ( going as far back as the Jewish nation ) lad always began with attacking the existing abases . He showed also that state priests had ever -been % erj orthodox , whether we found them in the Temple of Jerusalem , St . Peter ' s at Rome , or St Paul ' s in London —that in all ajes of the w 3 rid since kingly government ¦ was first established , with only the exception of a short period in the commencement of tbe Christian » .-a , tbe tierey ever landed themselves up with the kings of tbe « arth , and fonntd a politjcal-priestly-oligarcby , which la all coses proved icjarious andoppresive to the people .
Be ( Mr . C ) showed that snch kingly and priestly connivance might pass in jsome measure current , if the dark * cd middle ages had always continued , bat tbit men ' s Blinds being now opened to behold the deception so long practiced upon them , they could no longer tamely bear the pressure of such an infamous and nnjust load . Mr . C- proceeded n * xi to analyse our glorious constitution , " aBd shewed that aristecratical bigotry bad tra-Talled back time out c-f mind , and had gathered togt tber a number of the broken fragments of antiquity , had pacied ' them together and starched them over with the sacred authority of kings and priests , and this we . call < $ nr " glorious constitution , " and to this Great Diana do all our Tory impostors and landed proprietors pay their devotion—they hold thia monstrous edifice more
Mcred than tven the religion of Christ itself , and ne sooner do tbe people demand a redress of their grievances or any change either in the Church or the State , than the whole aristocratic monopolists cry oat with cne veice , "We never can concede to this cbaspe , it is contrary to the very constitution , " and all landed proprietors cry , " We cannot sufiv . r any efeaoge to bentfit the -working -people . " Mr . C then moved the following resolution : — " That the agricultural interest and those who possess landed property are no m .-re entitled to exclusive representation in our House of C . > mniOBS , than the other industrious members of the community , because in this ease it has been fully proved that a limitation is put upon all foreign commerce , and we are prevented by this imposition
from exchanging our manufactured gooi ' s for their corn ; that these are the chief causes of-the misery ¦ which at present fails upon society , every member of ¦ which has an equal right to the fruits of his own labour , but which he never can enjoy under the present system ; and this meeting is farther of opinion that the National Petition demands tbe support and signatures ef all real reformers . " Mr . James Hebbleweit rose , and ia a very manly and spirited address , supported the sentiments in tha absve resolution , shewing that class legislation was the chief eaase of the misery which OTeifljwed ourtad—that t '* fs legislation was the np ^ s tree which sent furth its stinking and UBhfalthy holocaust into the thousands of families of the working clasaea ; depriving them of that privilege in which waslhtir
natural right , and that while they possessed the name cf being free men , entitled to enjoy equal rights and privileges with tha other jEtmbtrs of the community , they found that they were literally slaves , eppreased and starved bj pitiless and unrelendag taskmasters Mr . H . shewed that it was class legislation which had produced almost all the evils existing in the community . It had saddled the people -with the National Debt , and instead of defraying any of that debt , was still in the "Tray of adding thereto . He showed also that there was no hope of redress from the Whigs , and that thsy had already both cheattd and deceived the people in 1 S 32 ; that tha middle classes having obtained the franchise to themselves , in getting fid of \ he forty sbAittng freeholders , tad since too plainly proved their willingness
to oppress the working classes as soon as they possessed the power . Mr . H . considered no remedy worth adopting which did not go at one * to the very root of tte evil , asd the oniy efficient remedy which ha-1 at all been proposed , was the People ' s Charter . And to show that the Choiter was rot any novel doctrine ir : tbe politics of this country , hs read several extracts from the English Chartist Circular , -which proved that the Hen . Cilaries Jsmes Fox . M . P ., and leader of tfee Whirs , the 2 > ake of Portland , Earl of EsremaEt . Esrl Temple , Iiord John Cavendish , Lord George Caver . d ' ih , the Hon . Thomas Townshend , Mr . Sswbridge , Mr . Wiikes , and about ninety other noblenun and gentieiaen supported by their coastitaeiits , endeavoured to pass into law as airly as 1780 , the verv requisitions of the present
CLirt-r . Mr . H . then seconded tae motion , which was put from t'le chair and passed unanimously . Mr . Patrick Donaghy carae next forward an- * moved" That an equal represent tion of the people is one of the main causes of a nation ' s welfare , and fa at any infringement upon this divine ri ? nt , pieces an insurmountable barrier against the exercise of human eujoyment , produces xeiults of deba >« m ; nt , diKiff .-ction , and anarchy—dUtnrbs , yea dtsiioys that happy relation which ought to exist between man and man—renders them oppos&d to each other and to the introduction cf aay measure which would mutually benefit both . And this mcrtL- > g believes that the perfect equality of right praytd for in the National Petition , should forthwith be granted by our G-svemment . " This resolution was
seconded by Mr , Joseph Mills , and passed without opposition . . i > lr . Joseph K . rrthen moved— " Teat this meeting ceslrea to txpres 3 its firm conviction that the high price of food and the low wa ; es r&cesved for labour , operates injuriously upon all classes in the community , and tait this is ehi < flj occasioned by tfce existing Corn Lawsof this country ; which prevent that supply from abroad which a repeal of these laws would most inevitably secure .

un ^ er ich wesuffer . is a complete delusion ; aid that supposing our trade to be considerably increased , mch an iaoreaseof trade , under the present state of things , would not benefit the working people . On all these points , Mr . Bowman expatiated at considerable length . Mr . ThempsoB contended that Mr . Bowaan had completely proved , or rather admitted , his case , that the Corn taw was an unjust law . He did not deal in figurea , nor would he attempt te answer the various statements which had been read by Mr . Bowman ; nor weuld he interfere with the rate of wages , which were regulated by supply and demand . Mr . Joseph Broom Hanson then came forward and stated his views on the subject . He spoke in a Bimilar strain to Mr . Bowman , and concluded a very pertinent speech by moving the following
resolotion , which yras seconded by Mr . James Arthur , and -carried amidst tremendous applause . An amendment was certainly moved by a person in the body of the hall , but as he did not press it , and there was no chairman , the aense of the meeting was not taken on it At this stage of the proceedings , which bad lasted from four to five hours , Mr . Thompson addressed the meeting in a very eloquent and feeling manner , which elicited considerable bursts of applause . The resolution was then carried amidst the moat vociferous applause :: — " It is the opinion of this meeting , that a repeal of the Corn Iawb , unaccompanied by other measures—such as an equitable adjustment of the national
debt—a reduction of the taxes—and ac adjustment ot all mosey asd other contracts—would not benefit the working classes , inasmuch as labour wocld be still unprotected ,-except a destruction be put ta . all class-legislation , by the adoption of the principles . contained in tbe People ' s Charter . " The proceedings . of this meeting we have given in as brief a manner ae ( possible , but cannot conclude without remarking , that though there were slight ebullitions of feeling displayed , still the various speakers were keard with great patience . The proceeds weie to go to the " charity fand , " and we rejoice to say , that the meeting was a compete bumper , there would cot be fewer than from twelve to fifteen hundred parsons present .
Lectures -of Mr . James BHOxxEaaE O'Brien . —This gentleman delivered two lectures in the Theatre , on Thursday and Friday evenings , on the " Rights of Labour and the Prospects of the Working claasea . " He stated at some length his views on the subjdct of landed property in this country , and attributed the evils under which the werking -classes now laboured , to class legislation . The fuode , the national debt , and the rights of labour , formed promiaent topics of his discoaise . ; he stated , that he had a plan which , if put into full operation , would completely alter the present ttite of things in the course of ten yeacs , and the working clauea removed frem their present degraded condition to a state of comparative comfort . and happiness ; misery wo * ild be unknown , except to those who were unwilling to
devote a few hours to cheerful and healthful occupation , and this might be brought about without shedding a single drop of blood , or unjustly depriving any man of a shilling . He had been called a dangerous character , and his speeches attacked as illegal and seditious ; but he contended that his speeches were strictly legal , and it was only dishonest men , who had got their property by plunder , that condemned him ; they were afraid of his uttering the truth , that impelled them to denounce hun in such unmeasured terms . With regard to manufactures , he drew a line of demarcation between those who first began to reduce the rate ot wages of their workmen from motives of avarice , and those who were compelled to follow them , in order to meet their competitors in the market , and many of whom be believed were good men . Such men could not be blamed for their -conduct , because they must either do that or be ruined ; and it was not to be expected that they would
give more wages to one man than they could get another for . He condemned the system of iaws which deprived the working man of five-sixths of his earnings , and put it to the meeting if such a state of things was not wrong . With regard to who were the robbers , that was rather a ticklish question , and one which could not bs answered without much deliberation and circumspection . He spoke in a satirical strain as to the intentions of the present Parliament , and expressed his belitf that they wonld do great things . They would ije why he talked thus . When the Parliament was dead he would then speak very differently : he might kick it as one would de a dead au , bat it was quite a different thing to speak of a living one . He must never forget tbe reverence which was to be used in mentioning the names of Honourables and Right Honourables , and he conld not refrain from casting occasional glances to Lancaster Castle , for fear of accidents .
Mr . OBbie . n s Secosd Lecture , delivered 8 N Friday Evemng . —Mr . O Brien said , —Men of Carlisle , 1 last night stated that I charge the robberies in the country to class legislation . I will now show you how laws should oe made , bo that the people might secure prosperity and happiness . We , the Chartists , do not want to take away the property of others , but we claim to have our right in making the laws . It would be next to impossible to take property from its present holders , without a bloody revolution , which would end in the destruction of half of the people . It may be asked what would I do if I were in Parliaments ? —which , by the bye , is not unlikely—it will depend on the turning of a atraw whether I must sit among the large thieves or the small thieves in Lancaster Castle .
Onepjint is plain , that the people ' s earnings mast be protected . I would propose means of putting bread into poor peopled mouths , by restoring the old law of Elizabeth , and destroying the accursed New Poor Law , The old law enabled the magistrate to give immediate relief , and I would have the rates differently levied , Df t on the occupiers of houses , but upon the owners . Those who make the poor should keep the poor , and not those who are robbed of their earnings . You are aware of many instances of persons starving to death , and females destroying their infant children , in consequence of the atrocious enactments of this infamous New Poor Law . The lute Mr . Cobbett showed , if it were fully brought into execution , it would confiscate 40 , 000 , 000 of money , belonging to
the working classes . In many parts , before they would give relief , they would sell a poor man up , and then send his wife to one place , and him to another , and his children to a third—treating them like prisoners , putting pauper dresses upon them , and i f , from illtreatment , they should leave the places , they were called thieves for taking away the parish dresses . JIany have committed suicide rather than be subjected to the indignhia of this law . The moment a man could not get woik , I would have him relieved immediately ; and he should have the relief as a ri . » ht , and net as a charity , but as a slice of his own loaf ; but I look forward to the time when such relief would not be needed . I would repeal this law , only as a temporary measure . I would then endeavour to procure work for
the working people , by repealing the corn laws . But don't imagine 1 mean a Whig repeal , which is nothing better than swindling by wholesale . I want my repeal accompanied by another measure—there should be a corresponding reduction o' tbe National Debt , taxes , and all money contracts .- 'without this tbe repeal would bn a regular swindle . For instance—if by repealing this law you reduce the price of things fifty per cent , then the Debt , and all leases and contracts should come down in like proportion . I would only reduce obligations according to the fall of pricta . We are told by the anti-Corn Law league , that a repeal would reduce the price of bread one third . If a free trade takes place , we may fairly conclude that this market would be glutted and prices
would fall fifty per cent , for the dnty of many of our manufactures are very high . There is an average duty of thirty per ceBt on silks ; and a similar targe duty on many other articles . Machinery is cheapening the price of goods , and what would it be if exposed to the competition of the whole world . Then you give the fandhelder and all others living , on public money and fixed incomes—three times the quantity of manufactured goods , thus adding fifty per cent to the profits of all these idlers . Mr . O Brien went on at some leDgth illustrating his arguments by a great variety of fact * . He continued , is it not strange , while these Corn Law repealers are bo anxious to get you cheap bread from abroad , that they nevar think of restoring to the people their rights in the soil ? The reason is they want to
have a surplus population , 60 that those in employ must submit to all sorts .. of indisnities ; that is what they want Until the reign of Henry the Eighth , the people had one-third of church property ; tithes were immense then ; now I would have these brought back to tha people . My reason for wishing for a repeal is , taa * . it would give immediate Telief ; b * t tbia relief would be only of temporary nature , providing the repeal was not accompanied by other measures which I have spoken of . Now , I come to my third proposifeion , which would be of a permanent character . It is impossible to save England without getting rid of the public and private debts of the country . Solon ' s remedy w * s to make a composition . Julius C » 3 ar having often become dictator of Rome , he found a still more difficnlt
task to perform . Twenty-five percent , of all debts had to ba swept away , and it was his further intention of doing more , but he was assassinated . Catiline , seeing Cse 3 ar " i fate , he had no difficulty of putting himself at the head of the greatest party ever known . His plan was le set fire to Rome , to burn the usurers . Cataline paid debts by giving brass for silver . Sir James Graham , now one of the Cabinet , wrote a pamphlet wherein he recommended to sweep off thirty per cent of tbe public debt Mi . O'Brien dwelt at great length on this subject , and gave his plan for making the property of the country become the nation ' s property , and that there should be one grand National Bank , with branches all over the country . Mr . O'Brien closed his leciure , which lasted four hours , by calling on the
people to be firm and united , for without union they would be utterly powerless ; like the cable , which was mads up of little tiny fibres , which the fingers » f an infant conld tear asunder , and its breath sweep into the air , but when theae tiny fibres we » bound together , they formed the cable , which coald safely moor a ship of 129 guns . We have scarcely given even an outline of Mr . O'Britn ' a address , which was full of deep research , acute reasoning , happy illustration , graphic metaphor , and humourous anecdote . It seemed to make a deep , and , we trust , a lasting impression on the meeting , which testified its gratification in the mott heart-thrilling applause . Mr . O'Brien strongly urged the people to sign the National Petition without delay . The houss , we are happy to say , was crowded each evening .

LEEMAHAGO . —On Saturday evening , the 22 nd current , the Corn Law repealers of this place held a meeting in Mr . Motherwell ' a sefa » ol- * ooni , for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for an immediate , total , and unconditional repeal of the Com and Provision L » ws . An out-and-out Chartist moved the following amendment , which was carried by a large majority , and a petition foanded thereon , and embodying the sentiments rpressedia the resolution , was unanimously adopted : — " Resolved , that this meeting petition the House of Commons for an immediate and total repeal . of * the Cora Laws , accomoauied with an equitable
adjustment of the National Debt Such a reduction of the revenue and expenditure of the country as will enable our mechanics and agriculturists to enter into fair and equal competition with the lightly-taxed mechanics and corn-growera of foreign countries ; ample measures to ensure a just fulfilment and satisfactory termination to all existing contracts and unfinished commercial transactions , with such extension of the Suffrage as shall ensure equal rights and equal justice to all , and thereby do away with the cause of corn and nil other monopolies , and prevent the re-enactment of any similarly oppressive and unjust law in future . "
BILSTOK . —On Thursday evening week , Mr . Geo . White addressed a numerous meeting held in the association room , Stafford-street Notwithstanding the severity of the weather there was a good attendance of friends from the neighbouring villages , anxious to obtain political instruction- Mr . White , in his usuil sensible , and impressive manner , pointed out to his audience the necessity of persevering in the course they had so nobly begun . He called upon all who loved their country , their homes , and families , to come for ward without hesitation and join the National Charter Association . There was no other means by which they could obtain protection for their labour , but by the Charter being made the law of the land . Mr . W . continued his lecture above an hour , and concluded amidst enthusiastic applause . Several new members joined the association . At the meeting oh Sunday morning , a discussion commenced . Several of the members toek activeJ > art . Mr . Jarvis complained that resolutions that hart been passed
at a former meeting were not carried into effect , and hoped th » t they would no longer be neglected the purport of which was to raise a fund by subscription for the relief of the poor men that may be thrown out of employment by their unfeeling tyrants , who are now giving notices to their Chartist workmen to quit their employment This was agreed to be acted on immediately . Mr . Stiran observed , that tbe people would see the necessity of forming an extensive co-operation , for the purpose of defeating the designs of the Tories who are now endeavouring to intimidate the working men that have joined our ranks . The Sunday evening meeting was well attended , Mr . Stiran was called to the chair , who , in an appropriate speech , congratulated the peeple on the position they bad taken which was likely to bring down opposition by their united energies . Mr . Oldham , from the Potteries , gave a cheering account of the progress of the cause in that quarter , and in a very able speech , Bet forth the justice of the people ' s claims to the elective franchise .
