The widow of an officer , an elderly lady , and near relative of mine , has used them—very rarely having recourse to other medicine for a long period of years ; she has recommended them extensively , and in one instance in which she indnced a person to adopt them , and supplied the first bos herself , they have proved of extraordinary efficacy . I think that perhaps there is scarcely any other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value as a 'friend in need' —certainly none possessed of superior claims .

tisni ? " askedthe child . — " Every man Jookihg for his own ! " was the reply . ( Cheers . ) Public opinion , through , the great labours « yf Mr . Duncombe ( loud cheers ) , had worked great chances in public men since 1839 . If a gentleman should be taken before the " Walbrook book-keeper" for refusing to render a proper account , no doubt he would be discharged and told not to do so any more . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Although some judges had been read severe lessons —( hear , hear)—trying Frost before the Monmouthshire ^ ury was as bad as trying Mr . O'Connell by a jury ot Protestants . ( Hear , hear . ) O'Connell could not use language too strong . [ An Irishman in the body of the meeting here shouted , " But
Mr . O'Connell never did use strong language . " ] Mr . O'Connor , in continuation : If the friend in the meeting would only wait a moment and hear , he would find that no one found fault with O'Connell for using strong language . At White Conduit House he had heard Mr . O'Connell ask " what was the use of petitioning ? " and in r «|> ly to his own question he said , " When petitions run thus , ' , five hundred thousand men , all capable of bearing arms ; ' yes , when petitions were thus drawn , and backed by the men , then—and not till then—would they be of service . '" ( Hear , hear . ) Now he ( Mr . O'C . ) never said anything half so strong ; yet was he sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment . Let his countrymen not rejoice that an Irish Sergeant Dalyand a corps
, of Inslinien , cut down the people in Newport . ( Hear , hear . ) Let them rather rejoice that there had arisen amongst them such glorious patriots as Lord Edward Fitzgerald and Robert Eaujietfc—whose greatest merit was , that they died struggling for the rights and liberties ot their common country . ( Immense cheering . ) His countrymen were now beginning to learn that it was the oligarchy of England that were their enemies , and not the people of England . ( Great cheering . ) He would not deceive them . lie did not expect the return of the Welsh Martyrs until the Charter was obtained ( hear , hear ); and he did not think that measure so very fur distant . A little circumstance might again happen in France . " Three
glorious days , " -as they were called—when the French Eeople knocked down a tyrant and put up a despotad helped us to the Reform Bill ; and the next "turn ^ un" there would inevitabl y lead to great changes here . America had just obtained a glorious triumph in the election of Polk , the Chartist . ( Loud cheers , and cries of " Bravo , I ' olk ! " ) He ( Mr . O'C . ) was not a disloyal man ; but , like Japhet in search of a father , he was looking for something to be loyal to . He could not be loyal to a policeman ' s staff tliat knocked him down ; he could not be loyal to a prison , nor to a magistrate , nor to a judge that convicted him ; lie could not be loyal to a rattle-box , that exacted labour without remuneration . The workman wanted to live by his labour on his own land , residing in his own cottag-o , surrounded by his own happy family ; and then would lie have something to be loyal to Labour never could he protected until the people ' s
Charter was the : law—its " six points , " " name and all . " ( Croat cheering . ) Mr . O'Connor resumed his seat amid loud and Jong continued applause . The resolution was carried unanimously . Mr .

EDINBURGH . The Auitation has been at a low ebb here for some time , being kept alive by a few onlv who are unalterably wedded to the principles , and determined to keep the standard always aloft . Some had beiriin to grow weary of working _ for the sake of posterity . Others had moved into higher society , and become so enamoured with tiie comlesivimou of dukes anW viscounts , who have promised to pay for a plentiful supply of water to them , as almost to cause them to turn their backs on democracy—their patriotism evaporating l > eneath the sunshine of nobility and the prospect of the warm bath . We have , however , been roused a little by the visit of Mr . Clark , who lectured in Riflnnond-court Chapel , on Thursday hist , on the " Present position and future prospects ot political parties . " Mr . C . handled his subject in a
masterly style , showing up the fallacies propagated by the Leajruo , the leai \ ers " of the Repeal movement , and others , who try to divert the people away from the one tiling needful , the franchise . At the conclusion of the lecture several individuals enrolled themselves as membeix of the National Association . Mr . Clark lectured again on Saturday night , in the same Hall , on Trades I ' nions . He defended the unions , attributed their failure to the redundancy of hands in the Labour market , and reccpMnciitW , as the best way to beat the capitalists , fo light them with their own -weapons—capital . lie advised co-Operation ; but not to waste their funds in strikes , but to manufacture , take in work , and sell for themselves . The lecture was warmly applauded . Mr . Chirk has won the good opinion of the Chartists generally , both by his manners and abilities as a public speaker .

CoBDEJf AND BrIOHT ' s NeW PiA » FOS . MtKCFictubing Political Serfs . —For some diyaf tke wallg of Hudderefield have been placarded with largei bills an . pouncing a meeting of the Anti-Corn Law Affloeiatioa in the Guildhall , on Tuesday evening at six o ' clock , when Messrs . Cobden and Bright wouM attend as a deputation to explain the new plan of ¦ dperai . tion of the "League . " The admission was by- ' ineinberrf tickets and printed circulars , and " lucky was the wight" who , not belonging to the "favoured few /' could obtain one . Shortly after eight the LeagiierS of the surrounding towns , with their foremeii , bookkeepers and other dependants , nearlyfilled the room ; and the deputation , accompanied by several of the
committee , entered , and was received with cheers . Mr . W . Brook , a magistrate , very deliberatel y walked into the chair , and said he was glad to see so large an attendance , as he was convinced , from their arrangements , that they were all Free Traders ; and as that was not , strictly speaking , a public meeting , he hoped they would listen attentively to the hon . gentleman who would now address them . He introduced Mr . Cobden to the meeting . Mr . C obden commenced by observing that he was glad to meet the people of Hudderefield . There was al . ways to be found among them a principle that wag worth struggling for . He had merely expected to have met the committee , but as this was rather a
lai-ge working committee , he would ' enter , a little into public matters . He referred to France , where they were about to establish a Free Trade newspaper , that would contain translations of their speeches and the < rreat meetings at Govent-jprden . In America they had all heard that Mr . Polk , the Free Trade candidate , was elected by the votes of the working mea over Mr . Clay , a great statesman , but a protectionist and a father of that doctrine in America . The working men did not like the child , and therefore they would not have the father ; and it was well known that the working men of America were far more intelligent than the people of England . After some remarks on slavery , Mr . Cobden continued : "No doubt this election will have a great effect on the tariffs ; but if they repealed the whole of their Tariff
Laws it would be of no service until we repealed our Com Laws . But how was this to be done ? Not by tiilking , but by working . They must win the counties by attending to the registries . There was a de . mocratic chink in the Reform Bill—the forty-shilling freehold cause ; and they must take advantage of it . What was the use of their going to Parliament as long as the West Riding returned two monopolists to that house ? No Ministry would be justified—^ nor would they dare to propose any measures without the support of the members of the West Riding . And why were monopolists members for the West Riding ? It was not because the Riding was not essentially liberal—but it was because they were negleetfiif . Thus did it happen that they wore behind the men of Lancashire . "I'm Yorkshire ! " used to lie a password for shrewdness and intelligence . He
hoped there was an end to their apathy . Let them t ; et the county safe on the registry , and then it would be safe at the election . Let them seek out bad votes , and strike them off , and place good ones on , which could easily be done by purchasing forty-shilling freeholds . This would give them a fair return of interest on the capital invested , and the vote for nothing ; and if they could not purchase freeholds in the towns , there were plenty in the villages . Let them buy them up . No plan that had been proposed Toy the League had met with such response as this . They had vastly overrated the power of the landlords . They imaginea because he had the acres he had the votes ; but he knew an estate of £ 14 , 000 a-year , the purchase-money of which , at 30 years' purchase , would be nearly half a million , and yet there was but sixty-eight rotes on that estate . Most of the farms were let at £ 200 a-
year rent , or an outlay of purchase-money of about £ 5 , 000 for one vote ; whereas , by investing i » small freeholds , you might purchase a vote for from £ 30 to £ 40 . This was a great advantage ; and if they were to fight the battle legally , this must be their line of policy . Mr . Bright , of Rochdale , was the next speaker , and , at great ] cn ( rih , endeavoured to prove that this was a working man ' s question . He referred to the statistics of emigration , of crime , and mortality , shewing that in years of depression there was an increase in the sevens ] departments ; but it was the poor that emigrated , and not the squires or the aristocracy . It was from the ranks of the poor that our gaols were filled , and it
was the poor and the wretched that swelled the lists of those who were sent to a premature grave for want of the common necessaries of life . Mr . Bright , at great length , went over the ground taken by Mr . Cobden , and was loudly cheered . After forming a committee , a vote of thanks was voted to the honourable gentleman , when a working man said , before that was put , he would ask Mr . Bright why he voted against the Ten Hours' Bill i Mr . Bright said , when the business of the meeting was concluded he would answer that question . The motion was put and carried . Mr . Bright said lie voted against the Ten Hours' Bill for many-reasons . One was he thought Parliament had no right to interfere on any question
of labour , or profit , or wages , or trade , as he believed al ! such interference would be injurious to the men themselves . Besides , Lord Ashley had made statements the most ridiculous , and had lilitlled the fax :-tory operative . He had besides employed persons to write misrepresentations and lies against the factory masters : and he voted to take a slice of the poor man ' s loaf for the support and benefit of monopoly , whilst his own serfs in Doi-setshire were in a state of unparalleled misery—and yet he never brought their ease before the country . Let him direct his philanthropy to that county whose acres he represented ; and let those who best know each other ' s interests , masters and their workmen , settle their own affairs .
Lbe workmen knew that such me&ilmg would be injurious to them—would produce tura-outs , routs , and tumults . ( "No , no ! " from Mr . West . ) He said , yes , yes ; for they all had experience enough of the last strike . He had voted conscientiously ; and he would not vote against his conscience to catch the applause of any man , or set of men . Mr . West then presented himself to the meeting , amid considerable confusion , the gentlemen taking up th- > ir hats and preparing to go . At length Mr . West proceeded to say , he wished to remove a false impression , that Mr . Bright intended to convey to the meeting oirthe Ten Hours' Bill . He was sorry Mr . Bright should have been so severe on Lord Ashlev—a nobleman whom
even his opponents admitted to be actuated by the most humane and benevolent motives . A great number of the working classes and manufacturers were in favour of a Ten Hours' Regulation Bill ; but thej were met by the theorists , who told them that it would reduce ' wager ami banish trade . Now , Sheffield was tfie oidy toitm in England where this question had been practically solved ; and what did it prove i Thai the fears of the political economists were groundless - ; that wages did not fall ; that profits did not decrease ; that the markets had not been lost ; but the contr ary . As each trade had regulated their hours of lafconr , trade became more steady ; wages increased from fifteen to forty-five per cent . ; employment became more extended ; pauperism to be hardly known ; an " the condition of the middle and working classes generally improved . Now these facts could not but «
known to the two hmiourable members- ^ ior Mr . Dffl >' combe stated them in the House of Commons , ap " Mr . Bright had not the same objections to him that he seemed to have to Lord Ashley . *"' Ward , too , the member for Sheffield , was « Mj * polled to add his unwilling testimony to the trnp of these statements . It was true Mr . Ward- hail endeavoured to mislead the country bv a story ot M ^ Muntz having to send an order abroad because it eoaw not be completed in Sheffield at his prices ; But ssfr sequent events had proved that thai order had « m back , and been completed in Sheffield . If , there fore , the system worked well in Sheffield , why not wo » wel'l in other places ? But Mr . Bright said , " r anjf ment had no right to legislate on wages , labour , pr £ fits , or capital , or trade . " Well , if that doctrine wa » true , xvhat did he and Mr . CoMm go to ParUanW rVii- > If ho iin « lArstnnfl nnvt . hinrr nf human le ? 1 ? *

If i the same amount of justice had Ik-ci ; awarded them ' as had recently boen dealt out to the leaders of the much-oppressed sister isle—Ireland , they would even now be at liberty . ( Cheers . ) Why were they banished ' . Because their hearts overflowed with the milk of human kindness ; because they felt for and endeavoured to remedy the grievances < if their fellowmen . ( Cheers . ) It' we looked at their motives we should find that these men ' s mimis-were not imbued with hopes and aspirations in favour of revolutions . If rhe workinj ? classes made but a united mid determined stand , he had no doubt but their efforts would be crowned with success . ( Loud clieers . i Why were they punished i Because the dignity ami pride of a Huh- lord had been offended . ( Cheers . ) The people owed a debt of gratitude to those men . ; j and they ought never to rest satisfied until their re- ' turn was effected . The Home Secretary , the htletopemr—( loud hisses ) — had , in his lithographed replies , admitted receiving ull the memorials , but stated that "he could see no reason " to recommend the suffering patriots to her Majesty ' s favourable consideration . ' Sow , it was the people ' s duty to continue their righteous agitation until they compelled the Home Secretary to see reason . ( Loud cheers , j Mr . Ridley concluded by moving the following resolution : " That in the opinion of this meeting the " banishment of John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , fur high treason , in 1 * 3 » , was an illegal act , inasmuch as the forms of law applicable to such cases were not adhered to : and the late division in the House of Lords in the cases of Gray , O'Connell , and others , entitles us to hope , and justifies us in the expectation that the same measure of justice will be awarded to Frost , Williams , and Jones as has been awarded to others . We , therefore , resolve to present a memorial to her Majesty , praying fora free pardon forand restoration of John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , . and William Jones , to their homes and families . " Mr . Laurie seconded the resolution . The chairman then called on Mr . Feargus O'Connor to support the resolution . Mr . O'Connor came forward amidst tremendous cheering , waving of hats and handkerchiefs . When silence was restored , he said he had no ordinary pleasure in following up this agitation to the olose . He was one of the first to commence , and should be the last to leave it . ( Cheers . ) As lie entered the building he heard the chairman say that he never would sanction a breach of the law . Ao more would he ( Mr . O'C . ) . However , the chairman had one redeeming clause , lie said , " statutes were very voluminous . " ( Hear , hear . ) Now , for his part , he had quite as much respect for the constitution as for the laws ; and the judge in passing sentence on Frost had violated the constitution . ( Hear , hear . ) But laws and constitutioas , to be mspected by all , should be made with the sanction of all . ( Great cheering . ) That evening ' s papers told them that the Canadian rebels , those who rose with amis in their hands , had received a free pardon ; and were at that moment in the London docks on their way home to their native country . ( Cheers . ) Some of the " rebel" Canadian leaders were in high office in Canada . ( Hear , hear ) . Yes , horse Healers , pickpockets , and gentlemen of assorts eould . lie liberated , but the honest i men , Frost , Williams , and Jones , . still laboured under sentence of transportation . ( Loud cries of shame ) . ¦ He repeated there was no analogy between the cases ¦ of (" ray and O ' Connell and others , and that of Frost , j WiHianis , and Jones : the first " offenders" had an : appeal to the Lords—the English ones only to the 1 Judges —( hear , hear ) ; and had not the House of ; Lords been reduced to a few by that old Tory Fox , ' : Lord Wharncliffe , O'C «» tme \ l and Co . would have ; been in the Richmond Penitentiary at this time . ( Hear , hear j . The young Tory Lorus thought , as they were all bora hereditarv law-makers , so must they be ; all born Lord Chancellors —( loud laughter and apj plause )—but Wharncliffo had taught them it was not ; so . Had the English people been so united and detcr-1 mined as were the Irish , Frost , Williams , and Jones j would never have gone beyond the walls of Monmouth goal . ( Hear , hear . ) They were not " fairly tried . " 1 He would tell them why the jurymen did not know ¦ what they were about . One of thorn did not know his own name , and on being asked wh y he had found Mr . Frost guilty of high treason , he replied , " I did ' not find him guilty of treason at all—I only ftnind him ' guilty of being down in Newport , when he ought to have been at home and a-bed . " ( Loud laughter . ) Ruify Ridley had stated the true reason why they were transported . Jt wa . sbecau . se Frost was " a just magistrate ; because he was a father , and a good father ; because be was a citizen—a wise , humane , and just citizen . ( Loud cheers . ) He did not say that Government had concocted the "outbreak ;" but he did say that they were aware of the intention to parade the strength of Monmouthshire , in favour of better treatment for the then Chartist prisoner Henry Vincent . He thought the two lawyers , Philips and Trethero , who held a deadly hatred against Frost , caused , through spies , the "demonstration " to be turned from its ori g inal intention . ( Hear , hear . ) He had suffered more than any wan ; yet he never , had violated the laws . Sir R . Peel admitted that he ; had a surplus oi" £ 3 , 000 , after all the wants and exi' gencies or the Government were supplied ; then he i was the greatest of plunderers . ( Loud laughter and : applause . ) If the man , or men , who stole the £ 41 , 000 i from Rogers , the other day , were taken , they would j be transported ; but SirR . Peel , who wrung £ 3 , 00 . 0 i from the starving people at the point of the bayonet j was a ' great financier . " ( Cheers . ) True it was , j " one murder makes a villain , millions the hero . " We are not suffering now under an aristocracy , but under that worst of all tyrannies , an irresponsible middle-class tyranny . ( Loud cheers . ) He wished all wlio held power to be made responsible to all , ( Great cheering . ) He wished to see a fair and equitable distribution of the proceeds of industry ; ana he thought the working man entitled to all he earned . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Townsend ' s child had asked his father , " was Frost sentenced to be hong for Chartism ?" . "Yes , " said the father , — " What is Char-
