OPINIONS ON THIS WORK . 1 After e long silence we again welcome—most heartily welcome—this delightful Authoress , who comes before us with one of those heart-stirring , soul-exciting Tales , that none but herself can produce . When we Hay that the Tbhws of Love equals anything ; that this fascinating writer has yet produced , we are uttering the liighsst praise that can be given . ' ' We rise from the perusal of this delightful narrative with feelings of mingled pleasure and pain . The early part of the rolurae , which details the sad history of Amy Mortimer , excites the sympathy of the reader to a painful degree . The li . ipless girl , friendless and euthusiastic , forms an imprudent union , from which Springs a chain of sorrows which the Authoress works into a narrative of surpassing pathos . Happily as all ultimately ends , we must confess that regret for the fate of the unhappy Ann Mortimer is the predominant feeling iu our mind at the dose of this most interesting tale . ' * Welcome as the flowers in spring is a new work by Hannah Makia Jones . —There is no living Authoress to whom the public is indebted for so large a share ef innocent and moral reading as to Hntnali Maria Jones . Finely as her plot is woven , exquisitely as her characters are delineated , this Authoress never loses eight of the moral which , it is her object t » inculcate . The steps of Amy Mortimer—surrounded as she is by temptations and diffiulties , and great as are some of the errors into which her youth and inexperience lead her—never once depart from the straight path of duty , and she makes her election to do that which is right , * although her so doing causes the destruction of her own future comfort . ' . ' After the deluge of tmli—Via out powings o ? diseased and prurient imaginations—that has flooded the literature of these latter times , it is truly refreshing to meet with another of those simple , pathetic , and interesting tales , which have ( jiven a worldwide reputation to the same of Hannah . Maria Jones . After a long silence she comes before US with all lier early freshness unimpaired , and in her last work Tbe Trials op Lovje—still manifest all those high qualities of head and heart n-Wchhave endeared her toiler readers , and have elevated her above all other writers , as one whose every production is replete with truth , gentleness , and sensibility .

I had previousl y been subjected to every variety of climate , having served in Canaan in the 19 th Dragoons , aud in Spain under Sir John Moore , in the ISth Ilussars . I always procured the best medical aid , bnt without obtaining any essential relief , and my sufferings can he appreciated only by those who know something of this disease . It was during one of these paroxysms , between twelve and thirteen years go , that I was recommended to try Blair ' s Pius . I lost no time in procuring a box , and be fore I had UiUen that quantity the pain had entirely ceased * and in a few days I was in perfect health . Prom that moment whenever I feel any symptoms of the disease approaching , I have instant recourse to this medicine , which to me is so valuable that were it not that the dlivs Of magic have ceased , I shouldcertainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause . Moreover , 1 rejoice to say , that my health lias not in any degree suffered , but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BirAw ' s Pitts is towards its improvement . I \\ a \ e recommends the !?\\\ siow >! u >_ v Men ^ s , ana the result has always been of tbe most gratifying character . 1 am , sir , yours respectfully , Gabbet Fobke Gnx . To Mr .

Staffordshire , " th Aug . 1851 / Wben cholera appeared in Springbank , in 1832 , ( it was published one thousand times without contradiction ) , not one recovery took plaie from the day the village was attacked by the disease , on Thursday , till Sabbath morning . There were 42 deaths in this period ; when a deputation from the whole town called on Dr . Greer—Mr , Clark , late overseer of Mr . Dixon ' s railway , at the head of the depu . tied men . Dr . G . attended three times tbat day , visited sixteen persons , and cured them all but lliree , who were dying when he first saw tliem . By giving the people there his advice , the town was clear of the disease four days afterwards , without a death out of the hundreds who followed his directions . Before he went , the deputation desired him to make Ms own terms , and ihey would see him paid . The doctor said it was too soon to pay till they knew if he deserved it . His charge , after cholera had vanished and their great panic allayed wag just' five shillings' for purgative medicine ; and tbe ; paii it . This was before lie was appointed Professor to the British Ollege of Health , London . Tbe reason why Mr . Clark and Spring , bank people had so much confidence in Dr . Greer , was , they heard him lecture twice a-week in North Portlandstreet chapel , against the usual drugs and medical practice . Why they and many more forsook him , was owing ip the savage slandering press , and the tyranny of the f * cul ^» whose persecution exceed alii maginations . Challenge for rflOO , that Dr .

From that date no papers would be supplied except /' or cash . In carrying out this arrangement , it is quite possible that some of our readers may be disappointed in receiving their papers for the first week or two . If so , the y will know where the fault lies , and they can easily remedy it . They have only to give their orders to another news-agent , who is in the habit of observing the trade rule , and sending his money with his orders to his wholesale agent , either in London ov in the country , If no such person be available , a quarter ' B payment in advance , or the remittance of the price of a single number in postage stamps weekly , will ensure the paper regularl y from this office by post .

tUe People ' s Party upon CorPOCK ' S House of CommoDB . The communication referred to had a semi-official tone about it , and may be BuppOBed to speak the sentiments of the leaders of the middle class agitation for Suffrage Reform . We have frequently endeavoured to press upon the attention of Sir Joshua Walmsley and his colleagues the proprie ty and the sound policy of their adopting such a course . We are sure they hare gained no real strength among the upper classes by their present policy , whila they have undoubtedly caused the masses to hold aloof , because there was not such a frank and full recognition of the principle upon which the right to the Franchise is founded , as satisfied them . VTe do not want to exercise the Suffrage in consequence of Jiving in houses of a certain rental , or because we pay so many pounds or shillings per annum in the shape of rates ; what is demanded ia the enfranchisement of man , not bricks and mortal , of the creator of property—not that which he creates . Until political power is held by this tenure it must be always more or less exclusive ; and , consequently , unjust to those excluded . A settlement short of that demanded by principle would be no settlement at all . The moment it was concluded , all the classes shut out by it from the exercise of political rights , would commence an agitation for the removal of the barriers to the exercise of these rights , and the removal of the badge of inferiorit y placed upon them , by arrangements which converted them , still more distinctly and insultingly , into political helots . It would be far better , in every possible light [ the question can be looked at , to settle it at once upon a definite and a permanent basis . Continuous agitation by excluded and disaffected classes is not an agreeable nor a healthy feature of society . The true interest of all classes would be much more surely promoted by a Mi Hveawite of justice
man oy passing any peunung and limited scheme , which would merely create new discontents and give rise to fresh clamour . Neither need there be any fear of the practical acknowledgment of Manhood Suffrage and its establishment as a right . The people of this country , by their general conduct for many years , and especially in that which is about to close , have shown themselves possessed of the qualifications requisite for the judicious , temperate , and proper discharge of political duties to a greater extent than the people of any country in the world . There can be nothing to fear from them , except the chance that ingratitude , on the part of their rulers , towards a people who Lave shown such a love of order , such patient industry , such willing obedience to the law , may render them impatient of a Government and institutions which ^ deny them the rights of freemen ; and in a time of excitement , they may extort by force what a far-sighted statesman would concede in the midst of a political calm , with a grace that would attach the people still moro closly to their institutions and their ruler * . We do not oppose the Parliamentary Reform Association , or any other body which avowedly seeks an extension of the franchise short of the People's Charter . So far as they go they march our way ; but we think ifc out ' duty , on all proper occasions , to reason with them as to the points of difference between us , ina friendly spirit ; and while we should not reject a measure based on rating or residence , we earnestly urge the consideration of the queotson , whether principle and policy do not concur in recommending the adoption of the broader and juster foundation we argue for .
Sir Joshua Walmslet and his friends may depend upon it , that Lord John will not pass a bill intended to perpetuate the rule of Whiggery only , so easily as pure Whigs may imagine . The conservative party are fully alive to the importance of the question , and in the 'Morning Herald' are sounding the note of preparation for the strife . Pressed upon , therefore , ag he will be by his formidable political rivals , he will , to a great degree , be at the mercy of the « liberal' party —not whigs—who may make , to a large extent , their own terms with him . In the face of a General Election , which can , under no circumstances , be far off , we trust they will perform their duty in such a manner as will enable them to present themselves at the hustings with a chance of reelection . If not , we must try to find more earnest and faithful representatives , even were it only to tho extent of five or ten , who will , in . auother Parliament , advocate the People ' s cauge without compromise or Goncession . The question must be no longer dallied with or delayed . It is above and before all others 5 a importance , and is the indispensable precursor of a hosto £ social and- , educational improvements , which are necessary to place the moral , on a , par with the material condition of this country .

the circumstances , are offering themEelT " work there , as its strongest weapon \ l ^ trj oppression—its only weapon , j n fact , J ? - ^ employers who obstinately shut their ' against the voice of sense and argumen t ^ Now , as to the offence comprehended ]„« first charge , there of course was never ¦ doubt but that ifc was clearly illegal . $ violence was formerly a recognised mOd ' * ' remedying the grievances of working , ° ° is , indeed , true enough ; n ay , - ^ true , too , that violence will still , now ., ' ] then , be resorted to in cases where law ^ , justice are corruptly denied to tho oppressed' ! but then all who have recourse to the rcnuV are aware that they are acting contrary / law and provoking its punishmeut ; they tuk ! their chance , and no doubt have their pecuiia ! consolation . But with regard totbo secon ! charge tho case was widely different , " \ Y 1 ip ther ' peaceable persuasion ' was legal or m was a question on . which the working clasae ) were at direct issue with Perry , Kauig Wynne , and company . Tho former loudiv boldly , and at all times and places , assei ui the right—never shrunk from asserting it ^ . at public meetings , before magistrates , aud | our highest Courts of Law . The latter deni ^ this right— -not very boldl y indeed ; they rather waited the opportunity of ' stabbing jj in the dark '—mixing up the' persuasion' an , } ' intimidation' together , in the hope t \\ # while they struck the on ^ they might it [ their mark on tho other . The Law with regard to ' Conspiracies to persuade * stood thus : —it was admitted Of course that one man might persuade another to leave his work if the latter was under do legal obligation to stay : but it was said that for tivo mon to agree to persuade tho third to leave was a conspiracy and contrary to ) nV > Several cases before the courts had a lwi » time ago been so decided , and unless these cises could \> e shaken , the law would be as Perry contended ifc was . On the other hand , there was the 6 pi » ion of Baron Rolfe , in tho well . known case , Jones and another against Sdtfo and others , which was clear and positive to the effect that what one man mi ght do , others might conspire to perauade him to do . A
week or two ago we gave ting portion of the learned Baron ' s judgment in full , but we call attention to it again , because it is the first direct and powtive recognition of the rioty contended for—and we have no doubt but that it ia to this judgment that we avo , in fact , i « . debted for the contradiction in the Queen ' s Bench on Monday last , ef tho law us laid down by Mr . Justice Brie at Stafford , en th » trial of this indictment . But we are auticj . pating , Tins opinion of Baron RoUe was of course most valuable—the Magna Charta , as lias been repeatedl y stated , of Trades' Societies , Still the opinion had not the force of law , aj it was merely an opinion , not an actual decision on the point in question , On the trial at Stafford this opinion was brought prowi . nently forward ; the judged winced at it , and became irritated , but he could not deny its existence . When , however , the learned judge came to sum up , he charged in direct contra . diction to Baron Rolfe ; ho admitted that the men of a particular shop had the right to combine together and to ' strike' for higher wages ; but he denied the right of men ia another shop , even though of the same trade , to porauauo or to cofflhiae for the assistance of those who were on strike . To this persuasion offence , one of tho counts was mainl y directed , and two of the defendants , Rowlaudsand Win . ters were , by the evidence accused of That , and of nothing else . Tho result was that all the defendants—Rowlands and "Winters as well ua the rest—were convicted on all the
countspersuasion , threats , and everything else . When then the case came before the Queen ' s Bench there were the opinions of the two udges , Erie and Rolfe , in direct antagonism to e « ch Othor . Wo stay not to comment on the mighty advantage which the prosecution bad in the fact that their judge was one of the tribuual appealed to , while ours , unfortuuatel y for us , was removed to a different sphere of action . And there were other disadvantages . Lord Campbell has no liking for working men—he regards them as ' dangerous , 'and would willingly impede them in their course . Still , however , we had coufidence in the result—so powerful and overwhelming ia the strength of truth—and the end has proved the truth of our anticipations . We know the instructions to the counsel for the defence—to reiterate in every variety of tone , word , gesture and defiance the rig ht we claim—the right to persuade a man to io that which ihe man has a right to do of himselfand we did not believe that Erie in London would have the courage to stand by the law he had laid down at Stafford . We have not time to detail the particulars of the contest at Westminster . It was boldly and gallantl y fought through a hard day , the longest that the court has sat during-the term . Besides the six counsel who defended at Stafford , they had the assistance of the Attorney G-eneral , Sir Alexander Cockbum , and of Mr . Peacock , Q . C . It was one of the uoblest defences of the rights of working men which we have ever listened to . Every defend proudly avowed that he Had endeavoured' « persuade— -every counsel asserted the ri ^ ht to do so . The speech of John Humphreys Tarry will not easily be forgotten by those who had the privilege of hearing it : Whateley v ® ' grand' in his denunciation of the injustice at Stafford . Judgment was postponed ! . '"' Monday lust , in order that in the meantime the judges—four of them—Campbell , Coleridge , Patteson and Erie—might confer to * gether .

SHADOWS OF COMING EVENTS . Rumours begin to be circulated as to Ministerial intentions with respect to the promised Reform Bill . From their conflicting nature , it may be inferred that there are two parties in the Cabinet—one prepared to ira « prove the constituency to a small extentwhile the other is resolutely opposed to any change of a bona fide character , ITe have often warned our readers not to expect any . thing very great from Lord John Russell , and the programme attributed to him full y bears out our cautions . The utmost he is prepared to concede is said to bea £ 10 franchise in the counties , household suffrage tested by rating in thetownB ; and the ballot in both to secure the exercise of the franchise free from corruption or intimidation . On the other hand , it is stated that some of his col . leagues oppose anything which implies a real change of power in the smallest degree , and are endeavouring to compel the Phemieu either to abandon his pledge altogether , or to bring forward such a small and pettifogging measure as would expose him to fiQOrtt and contempt even in the present House of Commons . The Ministry and their oficial onhangers have certainly been very much encouraged to play this game by the apathy with which the question has latterly been regarded out of doors , and it is said that influences are at work by which the Conference of Reformers at Manchester next week will be converted , if possible , into a wet blanket , instead of an impetus to the movement . Looking at the
aomewnatatuQien ana preconcerted absence of professed friends , like Messrs . Cobden , Bkight , and others , from the meeting * of Sir JOSHUA WalmsieY's Association , it ia not unlikely that a juste milieu scheme may be proposed at that Conference , and supported by the powerful influence of the section of the ' Liberal ' party represented by these gentlemen . If this is the case , we trust it will be rejected in « uch a manner as to convince its authora that the time has gone by for paltering with popular rights , or longer delaying concession to the just and reasonable demands of the people for political enfranchisement . One great effect , however , of auch a proposal , should it be made , would he to separate the really honest and sincere advocates of tho ' Little Charter' from the trimmers , waverera and waiters upon Providence , mixed up with them . In one of the dail y journals this contingency has been distinctly pointed to , and an int imation given , that in that case the Parliamentary Association might feel it to be itsdutyto take the broader and more lolid ground of Manhood Suffrage , and thus bring to bear the whole of the united energieu of

THE TRADES OF ENGLAND . THE TIN-PLATE WORKERS OP WOLVEEHAMPTOU ,
The struggle for liberty , or rather for existence , which has for several months been the cause of bo much anxiety to tho various Trade Societies , has , at length , terminated victoriously in favour of that liberty of combined action , without which the Combination Act , instead of being a protection , would be tho most subtle snare under the sun . Wo had always indulged the hope that it would be so , though well aware of the fearful odds wo were contending against . So far as the principle we have alluded to was in jeopardy , the victory is declared in favour of the working daases . ITe will briefly recal the attention of our readers to the actual danger from which , for the present , they have escaped —we say / or the present , fov the advantage thus won will require vigilant guardians to maintain it . % indictment « P erry againstRowlands and e ) ght others , ' was directed against two classes of persons—against two modes of attack and protection which the working class have against their employers . The one charge wag directed against intimidation , threats , and the persuasion of men under contract to leave before their- tim © was completed ; the other charge was directed against such as relied on peaceable persuasion alone , and that only of such men as were at liberty to leave their work when they liked . The first charge was
directed specially against the nine defendants . The second charge—the couuts charging tho persuasion of free men—was directed against every Trade Society in the kingdom , and its object was to annihilate every one of them . We know that all this has been repeatedly explained before by ourselves and others but we recapitulate it in order that the victory so nobly achieved may be the more intelligible , unmistakeable , and indelible . The first charge ( our readers must bear in ITi T ? out ^ article tho distinction between the two charges vuth which we have started ) was of great importance to the parties named in the indictment , and to their immediate . localit y and friends ; bufc beyond this it had no generalihterest . It is obvious that ibade ftociExiE s have no desire to asaerUnd hare no interest in asserting , aright to intimiaate or to persuade men to break their contracts . When such a charge is made , it muBt be met , as well it may be , by expoaingits ^ wto&nen or falaehood-in the same way , in tact , aa any other groundless accusation , tfut the question involved in the second charge was one really of life and death . If Perry was right ia his law , every Trade Society in ^ . ng land was contrary to law ; for every Trade bociety relies on peaceable persuasion , peaceable strikes , a fund to support the men out of -work , the right to ' picket the shop , ' and reason wifo thwe who , from ignorance oi
