MEDICAL IB VICE . TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCURTT , VENEREAL , OB SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEUHaTISM , AMD NERVOUS OR SEXUAL DEBILITY . 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 those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive aud . destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —ana 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 oie week , or no charge made for medicine aftej that period , and in those cases where other practititionfcr 3 have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a perm ** nent and radical cure . It frequently happens that in moments of thought * lessness 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 niade ^ the oorroding poison is checked in its infancy / smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its ' . yeivbin-Yean .. effect 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 influence of this poison , and a . mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure n : ust be achieved to prevent a return of the disease ^ and leave the system free from all infection . A complete kn- > wledge of the symptoms and treat * merit of these insidious and dangerous diseasesican only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant 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 ensiuv at one time affecttng the skin , particularly the head and face ^ with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated asscurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mis ^ taken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death put 3 a period to thW 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 e . rijoyments of life ^ by a disease always local at first , aud which never proves fatal if properly treated , it all its fatal results are owing either to" neglect-. Of ignorance . Mr . W . ' s invariable rule is to . give a Card to each of his Patients as a gwrantee for cure , which ha pledges himself to perform , or return his fee . For the accommodation of either sex , where distance or delicacy prevents a personal visit , his PURIFYING DROPS ,, price 4 s . 6 d ., can . be had of any of the following agents , with printed directions 60 plain , that they may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bed-fellow . ;; They are particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , less the indj 8 cretionsot a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his exisience , by affl : cting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with _ the evil eruptions of the malignant tendency , and a variety of other complaints , that are ; most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , ana debility arising from Syphiltio disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronio 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 practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhood- ! - 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 many men 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 ita ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappinf ss ; undermining domestic harmony ; aud striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; 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 \ ii \ » . nd nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , bbatinate 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 min ^ d , vapours and melancholy ; 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 Boftning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impedi ment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken brfore persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation 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 Bame neglect and imprudence .

Luton , BedfordshireVOct . 19 , 1841 . QIR , —I feel desirbua of expressing to you the great KJ beaefit which I have received from the use of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills . I have for several years been afflicted with Rheumatism and Gout , the attacks of which were excessively severe During one of these painful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blairs Pills , from the use of which i found immediate relief , and very soon entirely recovered . At a subsequehf period I was so severely attacked that I thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself Hnder medical care . I did so ; but not finding the relief which 1 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 thein whenever . I am attacked by this painful malady , and they invariably give me relief after omb or two do 9 ee . Several of my acquaintances use them , and experience tho same benefit . I trust you will insert ibis among your list of cases , as I am aaxious to bear witness to the « fficacy of this excellent medicine . I am , Sir , ybur ' s respectfully , Richard Stone . Sugar Loaf , London Road , Luton . The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity uneqiiailed by any medicine of past or present times , ' ^ hey hot only give relief in a few hours , where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy : and certain in rheuaiitisra , either ehronio or acute , lumbago , sciatica , pains in tho head or face , and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact , such has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and complete safety of this medicine , that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is not a city , town , or village in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influeiie « .

that the great mass of the people from the bad principles upon wtiicb our legislation is based , are at pre-¦ ent utterly prevented from any -voioe in appointing members to represent them in Parliament , and te , ( Mr . Mellon ) moved the following resolntien : " That we , a portion of the inhabitants of Belfast , being convinced of the unjust system of representation in our Commons ' Bouse of Parliament , and of the baneful effects thereby produced upm society , and believing that the Pe plefc Charter , as embodied in the National Petition , is the only remedy for the grievanct s complained of , it is th opinion of this me * tins thai eicn of its usembers should procure for the National Petition as many signatures as possible . " Mr Dnniri Wall rose and said he felt deeply the jistiee of -chat had been said , and from his own
observation conld testify to much misery which at present risted ; that h « was well convinced of tke almost universal discontent which prevailed in the Einds of the ¦ people w ; th 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 corner of the United Kingdom ; sad convinced as he was that that remedy was provided in the People ' s Charter , he "beeged to second the resolution which had just been proposed , and declare that h& for one was ready and willing to exert himself to the Tery uttsrmost to procure signature * to the National Petition . —The resolution was then pat from the chair nd carried unanimously . —Mr . Jas . Carlilenext moved , u That the National Petition be adopted for signature
by tbAs meeting . " This motion "was seconded V > y Mr . John Boyd . and was carried without a dissentient—Hash Carlile ntxt presented himself , and addressed the matting st oonsideraWt length , shewing that Rciocm in all countries ( going as far back as the Jewish nation ; bad alw&yB beg&a with attacking the existing abases He showed also that state priests had ever been very orthedox . 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 rld since kingly government ¦ was first established , with only the exception of a short period in the commencement of tbe Christian » .-& , the elerey ever landed themselves up with the kings of the «* rth , and fonatsl a political-priesUy-oligarcby , which ia all coses proved injurious andoppresive to the
people-Be ( Mr . C ) showed that such kingly and priestly eonzu vance might pass in some measure current , if the dark and middle ages had always continued , but that men ' s sleds being now opened to behold the deception so long practiced -upon them , they could no longer tamely bsar the pressure of such an infamous and nnjtut load . Mr . C- proceeded nsxi to analyse our " glorious constitution , " aBd shewed that aristecratieal bigotry had tra-Talled back time ont cf mind , and had gathered togs t-ier & number of the broken fragments of antiquity , had packed ' them together and starched them over with the acred authority of kings and priests , and thU we . call < rar " glorious constitution , " and to this Great Diana do all our Tory impostors and landed proprietors pay their devotioa—they hold this monsttona edifies more
acred than even the religion of Christ itself , and ne Booner do the people demand a redress of their grievsnote or any change either in the Church or the State , than the whole aristocratic monopolists cry oat with cne vaice , "We Eever can concede to-this change , it is contrary to the very constitution , " and all landed proprietors cry , ' We cannot suffer any change to benefit 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 Bouse of Commons , than the other industrious members of the community , because in this case 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 goo ^ 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 tqual right to the fruits of his own labour , but which he never can enjoy usder the present system ; and this meeting is farther of opinion that the Kstion&l Petition demands the support and signatures el ail real reformers . " Mr . James HebbJeweit rose , and ia a Tery manly and spirited address , supported the sentiments in tha absve resolution , shewing that class legislation was the chief eaase of the misery which o-Terfljwed oorlaud—that c '»« legislation was the up ^ s tree ¦ srhich sent forth its stinking and uehealthy bo ! ocaa 3 t into the xhcrasaa&s of families of the "Working classes ; depriving them of that privilege in which wasthtir
natural right , and that while they possessed the name cf being free men , entitled to enjoy equal rights and privileges with the other members of the coajinanity , they found that tbty were literally slaves , ippreased and starred 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 Nitional Debt , and instead of defrayicf any of that debt , was still in the "> way of adding thereto . He snowed also that there was no hope of redres 3 from the Whigs , and that th * y had already both cheated and deceived the people in 1 S 32 ; that tha middle classes having obtained the franchise to themselves , in getting rid of ihe forty shilling freeholder 3 , tad since too plainly proved their willingness
¦ fc o oppress the working classes as soon as they possessed the power . Mr . H . considered no remedy worth adopting which did not go at once to the very root of the evil , asd the oniy tficitnt remedy which ha-1 at all been proposed , was the People's Charter . And to show that the Chuter was rot any novel doctrine in the politics of this country , ha read several extracts from the English Chartist Circular , "which proved that the Hon . Caarles James Fox . M . P ., and leader of tfee Whirs , the Daks of Portland , Earl of EsremuEt , Esrl Temple , Lord John Cavendish , Lord George Cavend ' ib , the Hon . Thomas Tjwnshend , Mr . Siwbridge , Mr . Wiikes , and about ninety other coblenun and gentlemen supported by their eossiitiisi . ts , endeavoured to pass into law as airly as 17 S 0 , the verv requisitions of the present
Ctzxtrt . Mr . H . then seconded tie motion , which was put from tie chair and passed unanimously . Mr . Patrick Bonaghy c ? . rae next forward ari-i jooved" That an equal represent tlon of the people is one of the main causes of a nation ' s welfaie , and tuat any i&fiingement upon this divine ri ; bt , pieces an insurmountable barrier against ihe exercise of human eujoyment , produces xeiuits of dsbaxmitst , disaffection , and anarchy—dUtnrbs , yea dtsiioys that happy relation which ought to exist between man and maa—renders them opposed to each other and to the introduction cf « ay measure which would mutually benefit both . And this meeting believes that the perfect equality of right prayed for in the National Petition , should forthwith be granted by our Government . " This resolution was
seconded by Mr , Joseph Mills , and passed without opposition . . 5 > lr , Joseph K-. rr then moved— " Teat this meeting ceslies to expres 3 ita fira conviction that the high price of food and the low wa ; es received for labour , operates injuriously upon all classes in the community , and tint this is chi < fl / occasioned by tfce existing Corn Lawsof this country ; which prevent that supply from abroad which a repeal of these laws would most inevitably secure . And this meeting is of epinioa tiiat"Universal Suffrage would at ones obtain thi 3 desirable org-rt . " Mr . Wa ilurdough seconds this resolution , und it passed unanimoosly . Mr . James Ward , moved— 'That this meeisg feeling actually the injustice and the oppression caused fy the existing iaws ,
and considering also the powerful interest opposed tu the abolition of thesa laws , is of opinion that the people oughi to have their political rights restored , in order t » effr-et the repeal of those laws , which sacrifice the working classes at tha shriae of the aristocracy , compelling th 9 many t-o submit to the int ? reiti of the few . And tiis meeting is of opinion that Universal Suffrage is pre-eminently demanded ; nut oniy to repeal those laws which tax food and reduce wa ? es , but also to alter and amend ail bad lawi" Mr . Sharp seconded this r&solntien , which was put aad passed with perfect acipiiaity . A vote cf thvnks was then given to Mr . Forbes for the able , manner in which he conducted the chair , and the meeting concluded .

under which wesuffer . is a complete delusion ; aid that sttpposing oar trade to be considerably increased , inch an iaoreaseof trade , under the present state of things ,-would not benefit the working people . On all these points , Mt . Bowman expatiated at considerable length . Mr . ThempsoB contended that Mr . Bowman had completely prwed , or rather admitted , his case , that the Corn Law was an nnjust law . He did not deal in figure * , nor would he attempt te answer the various statements which had been read by Mr . Bowman ; nor -would he interfere with the rate of wages , ¦ which were regulated by supply and demand . Mr . Joseph Broom Hanson then came forward and Btated his views on the subject He spoke in a similar strain to Mr . Bowman , and concluded a very pertinent speech by moving the following
resoletion , which jraa seconded by Mr . James Arthur , and -carried amidst tremendous applause . An amendment was certainly moved by a person in the body of the hall , bnt as he did not press it , and there was no chairman , the sense of the meeting was not taken on it . At this stage of the proceedings , which had lasted from four to five hours , Mr . Thompson addressed the meeting in a very eloquent and feeling manner , which elicited considerable bursts of applaase . The resolution was then carried amidst the most vociferous applause .: ^— " It ia the opinion of this meeting , that a repeal of the Corn L % ws , unaccompanied by other measures—such as an equitable adjustment of the national
debt—a reduction of the taxes—and ac adjustment ot all mosey and other contracts—would not benefit the working classes , inasmuch as labour vrocld be still unprotected ,-except a destruction be put to-all class-legislation , by the adoption of the principles . contained in the People ' s Charter . " The proceedings * f this meeting we hare given in as brief a manner as ipessible , 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 wet « to go to the " charity fund , " and we K-joice to say , that the meeting was a conip ' . ttte bumper , there would cot be fewer than from twelve to fifteen hundred parsons present
Lectures -of Mr . James Bhokterbe 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 classes . " He stated at some length his views on the suhjact of landed property in this country , and attributed the evils under which the werking -classes now laboured , to class legislation . The funds , tha national debt , and the rights of labour , formed prominent topics of his discounse . ; 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 classes removed frem their present degraded condition to a state of comparative comfort aad happiness ; misery wottld be unknown , except to those who were unwilling to
devote a few hours to cheerful and healthful occupation , and this rcigbt be brought about without shedding a single drop of blood , oranjuatly 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 him in such unmeasured terms . With regard to manufactures , be drew a line of demarcation between those who first began to reduce the rate « f 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 he believed were good men . Such men could not be blamed for their « onduct , 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 wtre 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 tie 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 thin ? to speak of a living one . He must never forget the reverence which was ; to be used in mentioning the names of Honourable ^ and Right Honourables , and he could not refrain from casting occasional glances to Lancaster Castle , for fear of accidental .
ila . O'B&ten s Second Lectcre , delivered 8 N Friday Evexixg . —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 yon bow laws should oc made , so that the people mighi 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 lawa It would be next to impossible to take property from its present holders , -without a bloody revolution , which would end in the desttuctien of half of the people . It may be asked what would I do if I were in Parliament ';? —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 .
One pJtnS is plain , that the people ' s earnings must be protected . I would propose means of putting bread into poor people ' s mouths , by restoring the old law of EUzibetb , 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 , nf-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 late Mr . Cobbett showed , if it were fully brought into executiou , 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 thein , and if , 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 indignhi * 3 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 Euch relief would not be needed . I wouirt 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 belter than swindling by whi > Je « ale . I want my repeal accompanied by another measure—there should be a corresponding reduction o' the 'National Debt , taxes , and all money contracts .- without this the repeal would t « a regular swindle . For instance—if by repealing this law you rednce the price of things fifty per cent , then the D = bt , and all leases and contracts should come down in like proportion . I would only reduce obligations according to the fall of prices . 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 cer > t on silks ; and a similar large 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 f ondhelder asd all otters tiring , on publio 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 length illustrating his arguments by a great variety of facts . He continued , is it not strange , while these Corn Law repealers are so 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 , so 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 wonld give immediate relief ; bat this 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 proposition , which would be of a permanent character . It is impossible to Bave England without getting rid of the public and private debts of the country . Solon ' s remedy was to make a composition . Julius C » 3 ar having often become dictator of Rome , he found a stiil more difBcnlt
ta » k to perform . Twenty-five percent of all debts bad to ba swept away , and it was his further intention of doing wore , but he was assassinated . Catiline , seeing Csesir ' * fate , be had no difficulty of putting himself at the head of the greatest party ever known . His plan was to set fire to Rome , to bum 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 the public debt Mr . O'Brien dwelt at great length on this subject , &nd 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 made up of Iittfe tiny fibres , which the fingers » f an infant could tear asunder , and its breath sweep into the air , but when these tiny fibres woe bound together , they formed the cable , which could safely moor a ship of 129 guns . We have scarcely given even an outline of Mr . O'Brien ' s 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 crowdtd each evening .

We &ave passed a vote of confidence in the Executive , and sent money for cards of 'membership . We much seed a visit from the cham-, pion O'Connor .
KESWICK—A correspondent writes : — " Keawick is a complete priest-ridden hole : we have , however , here many well wishers t-o the cause of Chartism , and some scores of signatures might be obtained here to the National Petition if some stranger or strangers were to come and explain the motives and principles of the Chartists in a cool , rational manner . 1 EITH . —On the 19 th inst the Chartists held their weekly meeting . About 120 of the members were present , and nine new members were enrolled . The
question of a Co-operative Provision Store was taken up . Forty-six members took shares , and a committee and offiGe-bearers fad interim ) were elected . One of the members then delivered a lecture on phrenology , which was well received by the steeling , and another announced a lecture on education . Essays on the laws connected with the distribution of wealth are also in progress for the entertainmeat of the Association . — Working men and otheTB , not members ef the Association , ought te attend these lectares and essays ; they will get both amusement and iastruction .
LEEMAHAGO . —On Saturday evening , the 22 nd current , the Corn Law repealers of this place held a meeting in Mr . Motherwell ' s sehool-room , for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for an immediate , total , and unconditional repeal of the Corn and Provision L * ws . An out-and-out Chartist moved the following amendment , which was carried by a large majority , and a petition founded thereon , and embodying the sentiments xpressedia 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 tha National Debt Such a reduction of toe revenue and expenditure of the country aa will enable our mechanics and agriculturists to enter into fair and equal competition with the lightly-taxed mechanics and corn-growers of foreign countries ; ample measures w 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 all 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 th « 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 iu the course they had bo nobly began . He called upon all who loved their country , their homes , and families , to come forward without hesitation and join the National Charter Association . There was no other means by which they could obtiin 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 activejart . Mr . Jarvis complained that resolutions that had 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 the 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 peepla 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 , set forth the justice of the people ' s claims to the elective franchise .
