      TTF 4 LTII , LONG LIFE , AND HAPPINESS , SECURED BY THAT POPULAR MEDICINE " " ? VIO Medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly J . ^ 1 attained such distinguished celebri ty : it is questionable if there be now any part of Hie civilised globe where its extraordinary healing virtues have not been exhibited . This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely to the strong recommendations of jarties cured by their use . The Proprietors of Pan ' s Iafe Fill ' s liave now in their possession upwards of fifteen lundred letters , several of them from Clergymen of the Churcb . of England , many from distinguished isscnting 3 Gnisters , from gentlemen connected with the Army and 2 favy , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , and last , * though notleast , from members of the iledical Profession , and a skilful Analytical Chemist ; all speaking in Ihehigliest terms of tlic value of this inestimable medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel . The extraor&iaaTy properties of this mediciae are thus described by an eminent physician , who says , " After particular observation of the action of Parr ' s Pills , I am determined , in my opinion , that tlie following are their true properties : — "First They increase the strength , whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system . Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twer . ty four hours , and instead of having weakened , they will be found to have revived tlie animal spirits , and to have iuijarted a lasting strength to the body . "Secondly—Iu their operation they go direct to the disease . After you have taksn six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take , and if you persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day , jour disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system . ' Thirdly—They are found after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties , and they V . -111 overcome all obstinate comi >! ajuts , and restore sound health ; there is a return Of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use , whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required b y the weak and delicate , particularly -where viclcnt purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial . Fourthly—As a general Tainily Medicine they are exceedingly valunWe , and no family should be without Ihem-they inay T > s used -mtli jiciiect safety in any disease , for to every disease they are of inestimable value , 3 ohnDale ,: Esq . oOIancl ! est

      MR . DOYLE'S TOUR . To THE ClIAHTISI BODY , AND MEMBERS OF TUT Co-opbuativb Land Sociiin ' . —Tlie Chartist Co-operative Land Society lias been in existence between four and five months , and during that period every opposition lias been offered to its onward progress by our opponents , and yet , thanks to youv exertionsthanks to the lato Convention , " \ yho _ made ( lie plan simple , easy to bo understood , feasible and practicable—it has triumphed over its enemies , and is now in a position that must be truly gratifying to every lover of social happiness ai . d comparative independence . I say comparative independence , and why ? Because I believe that the working classes of this country can never be really independent , so long as

      they are without the possession of political equality . But such of them as have taken , and will take , advantage of the blessings held out to them by the rules of oui' society , may become iudopeiKlout , as compared with their former ' position . 1 may be asked how I can prove this . I'll prove it thus : —In the factories and workshops , whether the hands be weavers , spinners , slubbers , carders , reolers , warpers , mechanics , or whatever occupation they follow , they are bound by certain restrictions , certain rules , which they must not break ; but should they break them , through accident , or any other cause , they will most assuredly suffer in the shape of enormous fines and exactions imposed upon them ; and should any one of the workpeople refuse to submit to such fines or

      exactions , he is instantly discharged from his employment as a refractory and dangerous character ; and if the master who discharges him be of a revengeful disposition ( which , unfortunately for the poor fellow , is but too often the case ) , he will take immediate steps to prevent him from getting employment iii any other mill throug hout the town or district . I need not say that the rules in factories are tyrannical and unjust . I ne ed not say they arc made without the consent of the workpeople—I need not say that every person who is compelled to obey them—and every wrson must who intends to toil in one of those modern hells- —is nothing more or less than a miserable and degraded slave . I need not say all this , and more—I need not attempt to prove it , and for one

      very tangible reason , itis well known by almost every person in the United Kingdom , and has been proved by hundreds—yea , thousands of witnesses both before committees in the House of Commons , and other bodies of men . However , I may perhaps be permitted to record a i ' ew of the monstrous and minddebasing rules which are carried out in many—very many—of the mills in the manufacturing districts . For instance , in Mr . Fielden ' s factory in Todmorden , the silent system is carried out with the utmost rigour—that is , no weaver is allowed to speak to another weaver during working hours ; and I have no doubt but some gentlemen , if they had power , would stop the working classes from speaking to each other after working hours . In the prisons of this

      Christian laud , the most infamous and despotic rules do not go beyond this . Ah ! working men if this is not slavery of the most galling nature , I know not what is the meaning ot the word . In other factories , though you are not prevented from speaking , yet if you should be heard whistling , or making a noise , by the manager or overlooker , you are fined the sum of sixpence . In others , for sitting down , there is a fine of sixpence . In all oF them you arc compelled to rise with the first bell , to commence work with the engine , and not to cease work until it ceases ; and should you not do so , should you be a few minutes late , no matter tb . r 0 u . 5 h what cause , a portion , and a large portion too , is dedueted from your wages . In fact , your blood , bone , and sinew , are put upon an equality with steam , wood , and iron . Now let us look to the position of a man upon two acres of land , with a good cottage , at £ 5 a tho first

      year rent , under our Land scheme . In place , he may get up when he likes , work when he ilcos , and go to bed whon ho likes . Again , at any hour of tho day , he may visit his friend and neighbour , and freely converse with him for any length of time , without running the risk of losing sixpence . In a word , he is his own master—master of las land and cottage ; and no man dare insult him , or molest him in any waj ' i without being subject to his just resentment . Again , he may venture to a public meeting , called for the purpose of devising the best means for emancipating the working classes from the foul dominion of the tyrant land-lords and money-lords . He may , at that meeting , boldly and honestly express his opinions , and return home , sleep souudly , get up in the morning , enter upon his field , and no man can turn him off . So much for comparative independence ; and now I will give a brief report of my last week ' s tour : —

      LEEDS . On Sunday , September 28 th , I addressed an open air meeting , on VVestheath-moor ; Mr . Firth , one of the active members of the National Charter Association , occupied the chair , and made a brief but appropriate speech . The meeting was a numerous one , and apparently each and every one appeared satisfied with the afternoon ' s proceedings . In the evening there was a goodly gathering in the Bazaar . Mr . Farrar , an old and staunch veteran in the cause , was unanimously voted to the chair , who , after making a few introdu ctory remarks , called upon me to address the meeting . I spoke lor an hour and a half upon the subject of the Land ; and during that time I endeavoured to show the advantages likelv to result from the adop tion of our Land project , ami replied to some of the objections offered to it by our opponents . The plan takes well m Leeds ; and I am happy to say that there is a strong branch of the society held in the Bazaar .

      CIIERWEIX , NEAR LEEDS . On Monday evening I addressed a meeting held in a large school-room of the above village , called to consider ' / the Land , its capabilities , and the means of obtaining it . borne two or three years ago a few colliers in this village took a quantity of land from their employer , at an annual rent of £ 5 the acre , ' lhe employer , a cunning fellow , took good care to make an agreement with them highly favourable to himself , but not , to those who took the land . The agreement was , that they were only to hold the uid so loug as they worked for him , or rather so long

      as they worked for whatever wages he thoughfc proper to dole out to them . However , the men did not relish this one-sided way of doing business , and they broke through ^ it , by turning out in consequence of their wages being reduced ; This was not to be forgiven by thisverylcindJiearted " coal Icing , " and he has lately given them notice to . quif the land , and if they refuse , of coarse he will take means to eject them . Now mark , when they first took this land it was not worth 10 s . an acre , hut they have since that period , by the expenditure of their labour and money upon it , " made it worth , at least , four times the Value . ROTIIEItllAM .

      Perhaps there is scarcely a town in Yorkshire , or probably in the whole country , to compare with itotlierham , so Jar as the physical condition of the working classes is . ' concerned . The working men there are truly the aristocracy of labour , inasmuch as they are principally engaged in the iron trade , with plenty of work , and consequently wages high—high as compared tvith the wages of others . There is another fact connected with the trade of that town , viz . : — That during the long and dreadful panic of 1842 , when such vast numbers of the workpeople were thrown out oi' employment in nearly every town in manufacturing districts , there was full "employment for tho people of this town ; " and yet , though the people have kad , and still enjoy tolerable comfort .

      they are haters of tyranny , lovers of true liberty , and . unflinching supporters of our Land project . Many have joined our Land Society , and also , a Local Land Society , established for the very laudable purpose of buying land ( not renting it ) out and out . On Tuesday Mr . Kimpster , jun ., took me to see four acres which the society had purchased at the rate of £ 70 the acre , within a mile and a half of the town , and certainly I never saw land better cultivated in my life , though the men who have managed it knew nothing about land fhrcc years ago . They were not brought up to farmingno , bufc to working iron , &c . lie pointed out half an acre , the property of Mr . Lear , which he ( Lear ) set with potatoes upon Mr . O'Connor ' s system last spring ; and what , think you , is the amount of produce realised by him ? Why , no less than ei g hty loads of excellent potatoes , which at the time of my visit was soiling at 7 s . tho load . Now , eighty times

      7 * . will sunminc to £ 2 S for one crop upon a half acre of hind : and consequently , if he had had mi acre , the produce would realise £ 50 . Mr . Lear desired me to return his hcartjelt thanks to Mr . O'Connor , through the medium of the Northern Star , for the information he has imparted to him upon the all-im- ' portact subject of tho Land , its capabilities , and the bast way of cultivating it . The society have , in addition to the four acres already mentioned , lately purchased fourteen acres more , for the sum of £ 1000 , which is a very high price , but thun you must bear in mind that it 13 situated within hail' a mile of the town , . and is of first-rate quality . 1 addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting which was held in a commodious school-room , the only one that could be procured in the town cither lor love or money . I spoko at great leng th , and when I had concluded , several questions were asked me , which I answered to tho satisfaction of the parties .

      SHEFFIELD . Ox Thursday night I delivered a lecture in the Town-hall . Subject— " Surplus , the giant evil—the Land , the only remedy . " Mr . Briggs , a sound , straightforward , and unflinching democrat , occupied the chair , who opened the business of the evening with a pithy speech , which told well upon the audience . At the close of the proceedings votes of thanks were given to the chairman and myself . ClIIUSTOrilEIt DOYKi .

      SUNDERLAND . O . v Fkiday aki ) Moxday , the 3 rd and Cth inst ., an opportunity was afforded us to bring the constitution , principles , and objects of the Land Society before public meetings of tho inhabitants of this ' town . Air , Dobb ' vc , a-vetevavi democrat , presided" on each occasion . Air . M'Grath , of the provisional directory of tho society , addressed each meeting , and satisfactorily acquitted himself , although suffering from hoarseness and exhaustion induced by unintcrmiitcd lecturing . Many copies of the rules wore purchased by the audiences , and since our first meeting several persons have paid their instalments on shares in the society . We cherish hopes of having ere long a powerful branch of tho society in Suuderland .

      NOttTII SHIELDS . Mr . M'Grath has during the past week delivered two most instructive lectures on the Charter and the Land in the assembly rooms of the Scarborough Spa , Kin » -street , and although the very word " Co-operative" has something ominous in it to the oars of the inhabitants of this district , a most favourable opinion has been created in regard to the Chartist Co-operative La ; id Society . "Within the last three years cooperative stores had been established under tho most favourable auspices at Newcastle , Sundcrland , and Shields , but owing to the ineompetency and the dishonesty of the parties entrusted with the management have failed , and some who hail had shares for which tliey paid £ 30 liavo not received a singfo farthing of their money . These failures have been caused through the shareholders neglecting tho advice "to take the management of their affairs into their own hands . " 'The greatest recommendation of the Land Society is its being founded upon this principle .

      The extraordinary attempt to palm off upon the ratepayers of iVmlovuv a , discarded officer , us itis believed , of another union , is , I am informed by letter , the subject of animated conversation in tho town . The circumstances of the case at Oxford , where Price is said to have boon , very much resemble those of that at Audover . The surgeon of the house brought under the notice of the hoard of guardians the neglect of the master to give to the paupers tHu medicine and diet he had ordered for them—charges which Price , like M'Dougal , at first indignantly repelled , mid challenged Mr . Wyatt , the surgeon , to the proof . This led to an investigation , the result of which w ; is that tho charges vrcro substantiated , and Ilic piaster , to avoid worse consenuimecs , resigned . The history of that investigation is as follows

      ;—Mr . Austin , the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner , attended the weekly meeting of the board of guardians on Thursday , June 27 th , 1841 , and opened his inquiry , making it a public one , in spite of much opposition from many uf the guardians . Sir . Wydtt , the medical oflicer , repeated his former evidenee . The man Thomas , whose wife died in the workhouse , and the woman Ilolyoako did the same . The surgeon mentioned the case of an inmate named Ilarpur , who had disease of the heart , and whose mediciue was not delivcvcd to hev , by which ivegleet l « a > complaint and suH ' crings were much aggravated . The surgeon underwent along cross-examination by one of the guardians , a friend of Price , but nothing was elicited in his favour . In reply to ( luestious put by other guardians , Mr . IVyatt stated that he had heard Trice use language of a very improper character . " Monstrous , by God ! " was a common expression of the matron to the children .

      At the meeting of the board on Thursday , July 4 th , several charges against tho master were brought forward —1 st , for striking a little girl , an inmate ; 2 nd , for not sending the breakfast of an inmate named David Hanks , who had been taken in a fit , and could not go down stairs to get it ; and 3 rd , for confining a girl in a room for six months , and giving her oakum to pick when she was near her confinement . Evidence in support of the first two charges having been taken by the assistanUommissionor , the third was adjourned to Saturday , the Cth of July , for the production of a book of material importance in proof of the charge . Tho inquiry was then again adjourned to the 18 th , to give Price time to get up his defence , and the Poor Law Commissioners an opportunity of perusing the evidence ngiiinst him , The interval , however , was much greater , as the case was not again taken up until the meeting of the board on Thursday , the 1 st of August , when a new but serious feature in the inquiry presented itself .

      it appears that on Monday , July 22 , an inmate of the workhouse was reported to have been found dead in his bed . lie was a person of weak mind , and latterly subject to convulsions and to fits of excitement , during which he would talk loudly and incoherently , and throw himself about . The medical ofdeer had ordered that lie should ho placed in a room by himself and be kept quiet . Instead of that two other idiots were with him . An inquest was held on the body , and the jury , after two sittings and a full inquiry into all the foots of the case ,

      returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God , " but added this cansuro— ' The jury are of opinion that the deceased has not had the attention ordered by the surgeon , in consequence of the master not carrying out his orders ; and it appearing that it lias not been the practice of the master to look to the medical orders , but to leave the same solely to the matron , the jury hope that the glUU'dians Will in future make some regulation by which attention to the sick may be better insured . The jury consider the conduct of the master and matron in the present instance to be censurable . "

      This verdict and censure , signed by Mr . Slatter , the foreman , was communicated to the board in a letter from the coroner , which was entered in the minute book . One of the guardians ( Mr . Allbutt ) moved this rcsolulution : —• ' That it is the opinion of this Board that the present master and matron are not suitable persons to discharge the duties of the offices they now hold with satisfaction . " This was seconded , and some discussion ensued , during which two of the guardians commented on the evidence given by the master before the coroner , pointing out certain discrepancies . The motion was carried by a majority of 20 to 2 , Three guardians declined to vote . The Assistant Commissioner then said , that after what has ! just transpired lie should postpone his inquiry . The resolution which tho board had passed might alter tho course to be pursued by the master .

      On the following day , however , the Assistant Commissioner resumed his inquiry , and took a great mass of evidence pro and con , relative to charges of neglecting to deliver medicine to the sick , contravening the written orders of the medical officer as to the diet of the sick , in neglecting to supply the food prescribed , and giving that not ordered and injurious , and acting contrary to the rules of the house , both in supplying food of a bad quality , and , on complaint being made , continuing the same ; dieting paupers not on the medical list on food not recognised by any rule of the house ; and of his Violently striking a girl . The Assistant-Commissioner said ,

      he should go no further into tho investigation . nc ( read the depositions made before the coroner , and 1 , should report all the evidence to the Poor Law Commis *

      . Things had now arrived at a . crisis , and at the Hiietim , of the Board , on the 22 nd of August , the Cliah-imui read a letter from Mr . and Mrs . Price , the master and matron of the establishment , stilting that in coim-inu'iici ? ( , f t ] lft opinion expressed by the Hoard , they consipleicd thev could not continue in their offices satisfactorily , iln ( j therefore , they begged to tender their resi gnation , con ! sen ting to continue to act for another month , or f 0 l . 3 longer period , if their successors should not be appointed by that time . Their resignation was accepted—in fact , the Hoard had before dismissed them ; and thus , as far as 1 am able to learn at present , ended the mutter .

      It what I hear is correct , there appears to be a regular system of juggling going on ; M'Dougal being unable to remain at Andover , it is said , will go to IlllUjjcrfurd , from which the master has just been ejected , fur li t-iiytoo " good natured ; " while the rejected of Oxford willialio his place at Andover—that is , if tberatepayers quietl y sub mit to be treated as slaves and fools . The similarity of the cases at Andover and Oxford as far as thu conduct of the respective masters is coiu-i-nic ' d is striking ; and so is the contrast between the behaviour of the Assistant-commissioner , Mr . Austin bring | , 0 |;(( , and impartial , and the other otherwise . The Oxford board of guardians conducted their meetings with ( met , dooi'S , and were and are ut all times read y to giveinforina tion upon matters of public importance—an example which might be followed with great advantage to tiiem . selves by the wiseacres at Andover ; aieh a wholesome

      check upon their absurdities would no doubt rciiue them a little , and graduall y make them respectable iind re . spictcil . Mr . Smythe , a clerical guardian of Andovtr has taken upon himself to declare that those of the gn , ir dians who disclose what may take place at their inc-ctiii' -& are guilty of a " prostitution" of the board . That is ° a term of which some of his dearest colleagues could produce Some living ilJustratiiiiisj but the rev . gentleman seems to remember the old saying , " The truth should not ba spoken at all times . " This truth , however , I will ro longer conceal : the Jlr . " George" l ' rice whom Mr . Assistant-Commissioner Parker introduced to tho board as of Southampton , is really the Mr . " Charles" 1 ' riee uf Oxford , and who , since he left the House of Industry there ( as the workhouse is called ) lias been , uvcor > 1 hig to his own account , " working about for the Commissioners , " and therefore found another house of industry suited to his qualifications in Soniunnot-liotiso .

      Anooveb , Saturday , Oct . t . Tho proceedings at the weekly meeting of the board of guardians to-day were both extraordinary and inipor . tiint . The Rev , G . W , Smythe , who is very ambitious of tocoming permanent cluiirman , presided in the absence uf Mr . Dodson , who , with his vice , has resigned , and deserted the board altogether . Mr Vestlake said , he wished to be allowed to make a few remarks in reference to a communication ' made to him respecting the pre ? cnt muster , PricCj ivlio was re . commended by tlic Gominissioiu . ' ! ' ? , and f . pceial ' . y recoiis . mended by Mr . Assistant-Commissioner 1 'arkor . From the communications received he had been led to invest ; , gate the matter , considering it a duty he owed to the jniar . dians as well as to the poor . The evidence Ue lm . 1 to ! . lectcd he would submit to them , that they inij ; lit judge whether Price was a fi t and proper man to have t ' liechargc of the poor for any time , however short .

      Mr . n estlake was scarcely allowed to iluisli this remark before he was attacked by Mr . L . Lywood , Mr . J . I'othc . envy , Mr . F . Loscuinbe , and others ; but particularly by the chairman , Mr . Sinythe . Mr . Lywood said , ( hoy had nothing to do with the man ' s previous character , and that the AsMstant-Cunniiissiuncr , Air . Pai ker , had sent Price strongly recommended , l [ ti proposed that the subject should not be discussed . Jlr . Potliccary seconded that proposition .

      Mr , Smjilic would not allow Mr . lVestlako to rt-ad the evidence before the coroner at Oxford . Vfiih groat ivnrmth of temper lie asked if Mr . Westlake ' s eliargos aiiected Trice ' s moral character , and was told they OKI , He also engaged to show the charges as they were urranged , and had been inquired into before tlie Poor Law Commissioners . Mr . Smythe objected to Mr . Wcstlake reading or showing the evidence , and imperiously said , he would have an answer to his questions without anj referring , and that Mr . Westluke ought to know wUat the charges were .

      Mr . Westlake refused to give any answer but what lie could fully prove from the written evidence , as copied from the minutes of the guardians . Mr . C , llokhvay tJien remarked , tliathis report ou ^ lit to bo attended to , and that they wore indebted to Mr . Westlake for any trouble he had taken to bring the facts fur . ward . The Chairman was asked whether he did not consider Mr . "Woitlsiko bound , after this communication being made to him , to bring it before lhe board ? Mr . Smythe said , that he should object to answer that question . Mr . Soper proposed the following resolution : —

      " That it appears to this board , that the Poor Law Com . missioiKT has recommended to the guardians Mr . C'ims 1 ' riee as a fit person to be intrusted with the cave ami charge of the poor iu tho Audover workhouse , knowing that he was a most unlit person , by reason of bis misconduct whilst master of the House of Industry at Oxford ; resolved , therefore , that tlie poor of tin ' s house be Jiol continued in the cliurgc of so improper a person . " Mr . II . Muiidy seconded the resolution . A discussion ensued as to the propriety of calling in Price to give an explanation to the guardians , which , after a warm debate , was decided in tlie affirmative by the chairman ' s vote , there being seven for calling in Price , and six opposed to it .

      The Chairman addressing Price , said , —I have a simple question to ask you ; were you master of the House of Industry at Oxford ? . Price—Yes . "When did you leave ?—At Michaelmas last . What was the cause of your leaving?—I did not like the old system , I wished to get into the new one . Did any inquiry take place respecting your conduct !—No . Did any mquii'y take pl . 'ice ?—I think they talked of im inquiry . Did you leave on account of such an inquiry ?—Xo ; I waited to see the result , and then resigned . Was there a coroner ' s inquest at the workhouse while you were master ?— -No . ThO qUGStiotl WHS repeated , ftnd pressed , when Pi-ice admitted that he thought there might have been . Was any censure ever passed upon you at a coroner ' s inquest ?—Never , that I am aware cf .

      Was this workhouse at Oxford under the control or direction of the 1 ' oor Law Commissioners ?—No . Pvice , then , addressing the board , said , —Gentlemen , I will now give you the reason why I left Oxford . W chairman , Mr . tfrimble , was anxious to get rid of me , and put in my place his own father , which he did three »« cte after 1 left . Price was ordered to retire , and , Mr . Smythe then put it to Mr . Soper whether lie would still press his resolution . Mr . Super said lie should . Mr . I ' . Loseombe then proposed a resolution , to ( lie effect that , the Poor Law Commissioners be ii . iuwuiawly wiitten to , to ascertain if the several charges troughttvrward by Mr . Westlake against Price were true , io request an investigation of them . The original resolution being withdrawn , tlio amendment was adopted in its stead

      . , One circumstance took place during Oie ^ vucceuings otlm day which ought not to be lost sight of ' .-i 1 KM ragged little hoy , aged II years , an oi-plwu , livmg wiih his grandfather , an aged pauper of seventy-six , prescmwi himself at the board , begging a pair of shoes to ciialiie him to take a place offered him at Is . « d . l'er « e * k >'> hi could gut shoes , and which unless he got , lw «»« st ftimj into the house . A long discussion took p lace whetm- ' the boy should have shoes , some of the guardians kins , for and others against .

      and said that even a new pair of the union shoes were v very little value , not more than 3 s ., and an old l ' " ° " not be worth receiving , as no master would take t » e « i unless he had good shoes .

      Mr . P . Loscombe said he had an app lication to mA on behalf of Mr .
