      44 , ALBION STBEET , LEEDS . TN CASES of SECRECY consult the TREATISE 1 on every Stage and Symptom of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most ; alarming forms , just published , by Messrs . PERRY and CO ., Sukgeoss , No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , and given gratis with each Box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ,, and 11 s . per Box , containing a full description of the above complaint , illustrated by Engravings , shewing the different stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practical directions for an effectual and Bpeedy cure , with ease , secrecy , aud safety , without the aid of Medical assistance . Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry on the side of each wrapper ) whioh are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every Stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhsea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of th » Urinary Passages , without loss of . time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills , for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . Parry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Vsnerealtaint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its bumg : an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to tho constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be convened into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , aud by adisease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unekilfulness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of eight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs j till at length a general debility of the constitution ensuea , and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Fassa ^ e ; and No . 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Only one personal visit is required from a country patient to enable Messrs . Perry and Co . to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , after all other means have proved ineffectual . Letters for advice must be post-paid , and contain the usualfee of one poind . THE C 0 RDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is now universally established as a remedy of great efficacy . It is possessed of the most invigorating powers ; warming and cheering the spirits , and promoting digestion . It ia an excellent remedy for nervous , hypocondriac , consumptive , and female complaints , lassitude , and weakness . arising from juvenile imprudencies .

      Bow-Stbeet , this Dat . —Lots m the Kitchen —Feitolous Charge . —Elizabeth Rawson , a bouncing piece , w&s placed at the bar , in company with a sedate middle-aged man , named Carter , ( said to be a foreman of tailors ) , both of whom had been found in the kitchen of Mr . William Lambert , with whom "the female prisoner Bred in the capacity of cook , at a late hoar last night , contrary to the special agreement and instructions of Mr . Lambert . It appeared , by Mi . Lambert ' s account , that about a month since , he engaged the female prisoner as his cook , with an excellent character , and they covenanted with each other that she should hare no followersespecially nude ones . Elizabeth Rawson

      cheerfully assented to this covenant , and Mr . Lambert flattered himself that , at her time of life , there was little danger of her breaking it ; but they were both out in their reckoning . Before one short fortnight had elapsed , Mr . Xambert found his cook seared before a comfortable fire in the kitchen , and the other prisoner on his knees before her , making lore to her . He ( the prosecutor ) upbraided her with her breach of contract , but the faci was , Mr . Carter had just promised to make her "Mrs . C , " and therefore die boldly declared "it was of no use talking , for if she didn ' t suit the place , why the place didn ' t suit her ; and the sooner he . got himself another cook the better . " He ( Mr . Lambert )

      immediately saw the matter in a matrimonial light , and ¦ Contented himself on that occasion with taking the the cook's notice to quit , accompanied by' her promise " that the courtship should be totally suspended until that notice expired f for , as he said , he was determined to allow no followers . ( Mr . L ., by the bye , is a bachelor himself . ) But it so happened that 41 week before tie expiration of the notice , the housemaid went away in an interesting condition , though it was stated in Court she had no followers , * nd very seldom left the house ; and the cook was therefore ^ requested to remain until another could be got . This she undertook to do , and things went on quietly enough until last nieht , when Mr . L&mbert

      nad company , and at a very late hourhelearned that Betty Riwson had got her sweetheart in the kitchen again . He was exasperated at hearing this : the ¦ cook was bold in her defence , and Mr . Carter vowed that wherever Betty Rawson was , there would he oe also . High words ensued , and at last , Mr . Lambert , in his anger , consigned the lovers to the ctre of the police . This was ' . 'the Tery head and front" of the offence ; and Mr . Lambert assured the magistrate he did not tcish lo press the matter further . The cook , in her defence , pleaded that her promise not to admit Mr . Carter , -expired tcith her notice to quit ; and that as she remained after that notice had expired , to suit her master

      ' s convenience , she thought she was fully justified in suiting her own , by again admitting her Suitor . His worship observed that she had done Tery wrong ; though the punishment they had both undergone was perhaps fully commensurate with the crime , and he should , therefore , ! now discharge them . Mr . Lambert paid the cook the wages due to her ; and she and her lover tradgsd off direct for the ** Union" xiffice , to register their consent to a more interesting ceremony than that just concluded . A Mkktiso is to be held to-morrow evening , at toe Grailon-street Rooms , Fitzroy-street , to petition the Queen and the Legislature against Catholics Bitting in the House of Commons . " Some

      interesting scenes are anticipated ; precautions being already taken to pack the meeung , and especially to " keep those rascally Ch&rtists out , who upset every meeting chey can get into , with their abominable Universal Suffrage stuff . " "Savage ' s mob , " is the new name bestowed on the Maryleboce Radicals by their ^ aondam"leaden" par excellence .

      HTJDZJERSFIELD . —Having been favoured with a copy of the Sidney Gazette , of July 21 st , 1 & 40 , from a friend , we copy the following— "' Mr . Frost : —This gentleman , with the two other persons sent bereibr treason , have been sent , we suppose , by order of the Secretary of State , to Port Arthur . How they are to be treated there remains to be seen . This is the first instance of political offenders being -classed with felons , and it is by a Whig Minister that such unfitting punishment is perpetrated . Iu the Tory time-persecuting " at home , " as they did all such offenders , they treated them according to their situation in life , when thev sent them to

      Australia . Messrs . Margarot , Fyscbe , Palmer , ( father of the member of Berks , ) Skirving , Muir , and others , sent to New South Wales , were all treated with marked attention and kindness , landed free of all restraint , and colonial pardons immediately issued to them . The present unfortunate persons were sent away while their case was under ¦ discussion ia Parliament , certainiy not as in a wellknown former case , upon the ground of its illegality , but upon other very strong grounds . We shall , of course , refer to this subject . The lives of these men have been spared , and we cannot see why they « hould bs puffed up as martyrs to the cause—of i * r in « ga 1 "

      BARNSLBT . —The usual weekly meeting- of the Chartist Association was held at Peter Hoey's , on Monday evening , when the Star was read to the members at large , and a vote of thanks was passed « nanimonsly to Mr .

Buxstoyr , the West Riding Missionary , not fulfilling his engagement of giving a lecture on that day , according to his announcement in the Star . Although the fear of a disappointment had prevented the Chartists from announcing his expected visit in as public a manner as they otherwise would have done , a great number attended at the usual time of lecturing , and many of them from a distance . The disappointment was partly made up

      by several speeches on' the principles of Chartism ; after which , a slight censure was passed upon Mr . Bairstow for his negligence in not giving due notice of the cause of his absence . The Chartists of Bingley experienced a similar disappointment about a fortnight ago , through Mr . Bairstow a eg ] acting to attend , according to his notice . Several of them had been at considerable expence in procuring a room for the occasion , which money was oonBequently lost . There is little doubt that Mr .

He was listened to very attentively , and without the least interruption . At the close , Mr . Joseph Brotherton , M . P ., rose and said , he had no doubt but the resolution he had to move would meet the support of the meeting , after the eloquent address they had heard . His friend had shewn them that India was inexhaustible in her resources , but millions of its inhabitants bad died of famine , the evils of which he attributed to the misgovernment of the British Legislature . They had heard that night that justice to India would be commercial

      prosperity to England . He saw that promoting the prosperity of other countries was advancing our own welfare , he deplored , as much as any man the condition of his own country , he said impressed upon the President of the Board of Control the necessity of good roads in India , in order that they might be enabled to bring them produce to the sea coasts ; but he need not take up auy more of their time" , aa the lecturer had done justice to the subject , he would conclude by moving the following resolution : —" That the objects of the British India Society are worthy the attention of the benevolent and philanthropic exertions of the British public , and connected with the vital interests ot Great Britain . " Mr . John Brooks seconded

      it in a speech oi some length , and made some exaggerated statements relative to the working classes of this country getting higher wages than they had for thirty years before . ( He was saluted with cries of " It ' s trash , and we know better ; " " Trash ; " " Sit theedown . ") Not feeling satisfied , he rose again , and said that this was a home question , for , could they only accomplish their object , it would give such an impetus to trade , that it would cause the manufacturers of England to build factories , side by side , from Manchester to London . ( Cries of " We have too many Tattle-boxes already . ") The Chairman was about : o put the motion of the meeting , when

      Mr . CampVell , Chartist , rose and said he had an amendmea to move ; the Chairman objected , by saying thrt the meeting was called for a special purpose . All now became confusion , amid cries of " Chair , ciair , " "Order , order ,- " "Go on , " and ' Campbel , go on , go on ; and let us have fair play . " Mi Linney rose and said all that the Chartists wanted me fair ] play , and that they were resolved to have . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Mr . Campbell then said , that the reason he came forward to move an amenunent was . not that he wished slavery to continue ia India , but because he thought it inconsistent u them to stretoh their necks fourteen or

      fifteen thousand miles across the seat for objects of charity , bo long as there were so many white slaves here moving among us . He would pat it to every working man whether , as exports had increased , the comforts of the people had not been diminished 1 Then away with that will-o ' -the-wiap called extended commerce . ( Cries of "question" from the respectables on the platform , which interrupted the speaker . ) Here Mr . CampbeH retorted , by Baying , that he hoped , at all events , the working men would not be taunted with ignorance ; the operatives present had been silent and attentive during the lecture , and had given Mr . Brotherton and Mr . Brooks an uninterrupted hearing , and now when the working men came

      forward to speak they were opposed , and confusion created by those men who were always charging the operatives with ignorance . Mr . Campbell referred them to a poor woman who , after applying to many places for relief or shelter , was actually delivered in the cab in which she was carriod . ( Loud yells of disapprobation , and " away with your cant and hyp ^ oensy . " ) He recommended the people to obtain their own liberty , snap tneir own fetters , and then they could assist in emancipating others . ( Tremendous cheers . ) He should move the following amendment : —•* That the people , prior to travelling to India , or other countries , to emancipate the people , ought to obtain a thorough reform of the Commons' House of Parliament , and

      then we would have power to free them , being ourselves freemen . " He wished that these humanitymongers would stay at home , and as soon as justice was done the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland , they would do justice to others . He would now ask Mr . Brotherton a question . They had been told India would take fifty millions more of their goods ; but he ( Mr . Campbell ) would ask , what the devil would it do for working men , so long as one class monopolises all the benefit ? Why , they were working for all the world , and were wanted to work for India in addition . ( Cries of 14 Question , " from the respectables . ) Yes , that was the question to the working man , while the industrious were walking the streets in rags . He told

      them to go on as they had been , and they would repeal , not only the sugar and corn . monopoly , but every other , when they had Universal Suffrage . The effect was electrical . "Loud oheers , and cries from the respectables of " question , and chair , chair . " The ladies around the platform applied their quizzing glasses , to see what sort of animals Chartists were , and some of them were so pale and frightened , that we thought an application of rose water would have been necessary . Mr . Adshead rose , and , in a very affected tone , said that room was engaged to hear two lectures on British India , and , therefore , the amendment was out of place . ( Cries from the Chartisti , " the meeting is public , and the room is ours . ") The gentleman seemed

      anxious to upset the amendment , but it was no go . He said if the Chartists would wait till the resolutions were passed the people might adopt anything they thought proper . Air . Linney rose to second the amendment , and asked Mr . Thompson if the factory system was not as bad as the slavery practised in India . He made a powerful impression on the audience , and sat down , after seconding the amendment . Mr . Warren now rose , and began , in his way , to annihilate the working classes , by telling them that if they would only wait till the resolutions were passed , that the Chartists should have the room to pass resolutions after . He received a sally of groans , hisses , " another go between , " " another tool ; " "it will not do ; " " your'eoutof

      order ; " put the amendment , " &c . &c . He tried to proceed , but bis lungs at length failed , and was obliged to sit down , apparently rather nettled that the meeting did not properly respect his sagacity ship : Milton ' s Satan did not appear more chap-fallen . The Chairman was then called to put the amendment , and said they were in doubt respecting the amendment being put . A young man in the body of the hall argued that the amendment was quite in order . After consulting his friends behind , the amendment was pat and carried by an overwhelming majority . The Chairman put the resolution , and pretended to say he did not know which had the most supporters . It was put again , at the request of Mr . Linney . A most tremendous burst of cheers arose at the result . Mr . Thompson rose and said , he hoped they would not exult so much at their triumph , as it would not alter him , aud that it was only a triumph of opinion among

      themselves . Mr . Linney said he did not wish it to go to the world that they wished slavery to exist in India , but because they first wanted the means to abolish it . Mr . Thompson then said he hoped they would retract some of their expressions who moved the amendment , and not jest at the expence of suffering humanity . Mr . Campbell denied that he had thrown cold water on the attempt to relieve India what he contended for was , thai it was a crime in them to get slaves liberated by the House of Commons , when they saw so much misery at home , without raising a protest against it . The Chairman retired without attempting to pass any more resolutions . The multitude gave three cheers for O'Connor , three for the incarcerated Chartists , three for the Charter , and three groans for the Manchester Guardian , when the meeting separated , after proving to the satisfaction of the " respectables" how powerless they are before au united audience .

      BURY . Terrific Struggle with , and Capture op , Burglars at Bury . —It has , for some time past , been known to Mr . Baker , the superintendent of the Bolton division of the county constabulary , that a gang of burglars had concocted a scheme , in Lancaster Castle , for the robbing of various house ? , in and about Bury , as soon as they were liberated . He , therefore , made arrangements with the several parties threatened , including Richard Hamer , Esq . ( . who resides in Bolton-street , Bury ) , for their protection , and the apprehension of the robbers . In pursuance of thi 3 arrangement , Mr . Baker , for the last ten nights , has kept up a constant watch on Mr . Hamer ' s premises ; and about one o ' clock on

      Saturday morning last , he heard the stepa of the depredators in the yard of the dwelling-house , upon which Mr . Baker , with his inspector and serjeant , secreted themselves behind the curtains of the drawingroom window . After a delay of about twenty minutes , ( during which time they distinctly heard the crashing and cracking of the window through which one of the gang entered , ) three ruffians entered the house by the back kitchen door , which was opened by the first-mentioned offender . Having lit a candle , they proceeded to the counting-house door , the lock of which they soon picked , and entered . In a short time afterwards , one of them exclaimed , "Here ' s the cash box , by , " and , a move being heard as though they were

      going off with it , Mr ^ . Baker thought it time to be up and doing ; so , shouting out to his men , " Now , lads , " he sprung upon the thieves . Mr . Armitage , the inspector , was the first who came in contact with the depredators ; aud in attempting to seize the nearest to him , was saluted with a terrific blow on the ear with a life-preserver ^ and , while staggering from its effects , got another favour on the head , which , had it not caught the edge of the door , would , most assuredly , have killed him . Being a powerful man , Armitage closed with his opponent , and soon gave him a quietus . All this time the others were by no means idle , —one of them fighting his way , through the midst of the police , down a long passage leading from the counting-h « use to the back door , at which place he gave Mr . Baker

      a dreadful kick on the stomach , which laid him on his back , and while in that position gave him another severe one in the groin , and then fled . The third fellow had possession of the cash-box , which , in spite of the efforts of the inspector and sergeant , he pertinaciausly kept possession of , until a blow from the butt-end of a large horse pistol , lent Mr . Baker by Armitage , laid him prostrate in the kitchen , which presented more the appearance of a butcher ' s shop than a room in a private gentleman ' s residence ! The desperation with which the two ruffians fought may be conceived when it is known , that , in spite of the police , they forced their way out of the counting-house , which was guarded by Serjeants Williamson and

      Moody , both well armed , and having Baker and the inspector pummelling away in their rear , down a very long passage into the kitchen , aud to within a few yards of the place where they effected their entrance . As soon as the captured thieves were secured at the police office , Mr . Baker , accompanied by his inspector , started for Manchester ; to which place they traced the fellorr who had escaped , and after a diligent search , captured him in bed , at his lodgings . He was in a high state of perspiration . and , splashed up to the shoulders with mud from running On being taken into custody , and spoken to on the subject of the entry into Mr . Hamer ' s , he exclaimed , with the utmost sang froid , " You need not kick up such a row , Mr . Baker : you can only transport

      me for it . " He was immediately brought back to Bury , and , with his companions in villany , committed , by Abraham Wood and Edmund Grundy , Esqrs ., to take their trial at the next Assizes at Liverpool . They gave the names of George Brindle , Thomas Stopford , and Robert Wilkinson , but are known to the Manchester police by other names , and as desperate and previously-convicted felons . We are glad to add , that none of the police are dangerously hurt ; and that , after the application of a dozen leeches to the stomach of Mr . Baker , he is doing well . Mr . Hamer is nearly seventy years of age , and has no one residing with him but two female servants ;

      so that , but for the vigilance of the police , the house would nave been ransacked ; and , if he had been alarmed , and attempted to interfere with the robbers , he would probably have been murdered . There was generally from £ 1 , 000 to £ 1 , 20 * upon the premises every Friday night , for the payment of wages on the Saturday ; and this fact , it is supposed , was known to the prisoner Brindle , who was formerly a boatman , and had frequently occasion to go to the counting-house . The prisoners were only liberated from the gaol at Lancaster five weeks ago , and yet , notwithstanding their imprisonment , had planned this and a number of other burglaries on gaining their liberty .

      DXtWBBU&'V * Ancibkt Order of Forbstbrs . —The members of the late Executive Council , Dewsbury , were indefatigable in their exertions , during the time they held office , to establish a school for the maintenance and education of the orphan ohildren of departed brethren ; andBince their retirement , several meetings have been held for the purpose of devising means to carry the same into execution . Another meeting , we understand , is to take place in the Cloth Hall , Dewsbury , at ten o ' olook on Saturday morning , the 26 th instant , for the furtherance of the above most desirable and praiseworthy object . A very numerous attendance ia expected , and from the feeling manifested generally throughout this extensive and flourishing order , little doubt can be entertained of its ultimate success Such a noble undertaking is highly deserving of the attention and assistance of the more enlightened and opulent portion of the community .

      Thohas Moslet . —At a meeting of the Leeds Charter Association , on Monday evening , it was resolved : — " That the name of Thoma 3 Moaley be struck off the books of the Association , he having ( in the opinion of that mealing ) violated the principles of the Charter , in accepting the office of anti-Corn Law lecturer , for the Corn Law League , and that we take this opportunity of publicly Btating that Thomas Mosley never was an acknowledged leading Chartist , by this association , and furtther , we never had any confidence in him as a member .

      TO THE MEN OF MANCHESTER . " The creatures are at their dirty work again . " Tou have advertised that a triumphal entry will be made into your town by myself and others , on Christmas Day , and that you purpose making a great demonstration of your moral strength , in honour of our release from gaol . " Count not your chickens before they are hatched , " says one of « ur own wise saws . Your suburban villages may pour ont their thousands , and your town may pour out its tens of thousands to creet us , but the mean , dirty-souled

      Whigs are moving Heaven ( at least what little influence they have there ) and hell with all its influence , to stop your demonstrations . My friends have tendered good and sufficient bail for me , but the creatures in Manchester have , by a species of low Whig cunning , endeavoured to keep me in gaol , by saying tbat I must get them all particulars ot the amount of bail , and the term of its duration , fee . Yes , / must get it . Poor , ignorant creatures . These Manchester Whigs do not know anything about it ? Indeed ! Men of

      Manchester" Procrastination is the thief of time . " These despicable fellows—Radicals they call themselves—are endeavouring to drive my release beyond Christmas Day , by this kind of jugglery , so that your holiday may not be made into a day of rejoicing . Watch them well , and tell them if they , by such means , expect to prevent your demonstration on Christmas day , they will be deceived , and that instead of deceiving you , they will only add to their own mortification and defeat , by receiving the denunciations of the men of Manchester , Rochdale , Bury , Bolton , Leigh , Stockport , Ashton , and Oldham , vriinse moral power they so much dreaded on the 24 th September , 1838 , at Kersal Moor .

      sometimes tola mat tne More Proofs of the Pertinacity op Whig Villant and hateed of Popular Liberty . —We

      are present . Liberal administration has large claims upon the gratitude of the people , on the ground of the support they have Kiven to the cause of popular freedom . We are aware that one of the characteristics of partisanship is unblushing effrontery , but it does appear to requite more than the usual share of effrontery to put forth such a claim upon our grateful considerations in the teeth of the fact referred to in the following letter : — London , Dec . 1 , 1840 . 20 , Pembroke-place , Vauxhall Bridge-road , Pimlico .

      Dear Sir , —I am disappointed in my desire of personally presenting your petitions , in consequence of our order , tbat no petitions shall be presented on levou days ; and this order was made almost immediately after I presented a number of petitions similar to yours Is I have taken pains to ascertain the truth of the above statement , and that order alluded to is still in force , it only remains for me to learn your wishes whether the petitions should be placed in tne hands of Lord Normanby for presentation . I am , Sir , with every disposition to assist your loyal , moral , and Christian exertions iu favour of the unhappy , Your obedient servant , Authur S . Wade , D . D . To Mr . H . De Courcy , Mansneld .

      We have no faith in the efficacy of petitions of any kind , or to any body , so long as class legislation and the exclusion of the masses from all share in the' management of their own affairs continues . And this will continue until the people , arising in their moral majeety , learn to reject the shadow for the substance , and claim their fair share of influence and coiitrnul in the management of publio affairs . We remember a writer who says " that to pray and to pay" is , in the estimation of certain parties , the sole duty of the humble classes of society . This was in 1830 , but ten years has enabled us to make rapid advances in the march of improvement , and it seems our rulers' duty , considering tbat praying when no answer to our prayers can be reasonably expected , and considering , moreover , that the reception of prayers and petitions by parties whe are predetermined to take no notice of them , is a waste of time which might be more

      profitably employed in devising further means of fleecing and oppressing the petitioners , have , as far us in their power lies , resolved to dispense with praying altogether , and to continue tho more profitable employment of paying only . Hence the resolution not to allow Members of the'House of Commons to speak on the presentation of petitions , and hence the order referred to in the above letter . Well , well , we are not to be fooled ia this way . Let the people in this and in all cases keep within the pale of the law , and comply with all the recognised constitutional forms for the transaction of publio business , leaving the onus of breaking them upon the head of those who seem determined to trample upon the dearest rights of a whole people . The time will come when the ear of Royalty and of the legislature must be , and shall be , open to the humblest individual , who , by his skill and industry , bear the burdens of the state .

Bull , incumbent , Feargus O'Connor Vincent Bronterre Hallowell , infant son of Samuel Hallowell , boot and shoemaker , Leyland . He was anxiously desired by the minister to make choice of some other name , declaring he would not have a child of his christened by the name of Feargus O'Connor for £ 1 , 000 , exclaiming , "A man like him , agitating the country , and exciting the people to insurrection and rebellion , and himself

      incarcerated at the present ; now do ( he said , with a great emphasis , ) change the name , will you ?" "No , " the father said ; "it has been registered in that name some time , and when it is baptised it shall be baptised in that name . " The father would have vindicated the conduct of Mr .
