      IN 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 ., Surgeons , 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 speedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and 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 ) which 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 Gonorrhea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising ourea , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivatiou 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 . Perry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtuos of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scoibutio affections . Eruptions on any part of tho body , Ulcerations . Scrofulous or Venereal taint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulnesB . 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 being 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 the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted 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 , and 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 unskilfulness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the haad , face , and body , dimness of sight , 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 , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , 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 Fassage ; 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 pound . THE CORDIAL 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 is an excellent remedy for nervous , hypocondriac , consumptive , and female complaints , lassitude , and weakness arising from juvenile imprudencies . Sold in Bottles , at 11 s ., or four quantities , in oivo family bottle , for 33 s ., duty included . Observe—No . 44 , Albion-street , Leedp . t& ° Private Entrance in the Passage .

      OLD PARR S LIFE PILLS . MORE PROOFS that this noted Medicine will restore to health the afflicted , and continue in sound health the recovered . Read the following from a soldier , discharged from her Majesty ' s service as incurable , after having the advice of the most celebrated physicians : — " To the Proprietors of Old Parr ' s Pills . * ' Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the Public at large , to acknowledge the astonishing benefit I have reoeived from taking ' Old Parr ' s Pilld . ' I was for nearly nine years in the 52 nd Regiment of Foot , but was dbohargod in the year 1839 as incurable , after having the best advice her Majesty ' s service afforded , being pronounced consumptive ; I then returned home to Hinckley , where my attention was attraoted to Old Parr ' s Pills . I was induced to purchase a 2 s . 9 d . box , and from that moment I date a renewal of my life ; for on taking one box , I immediately began to recover , and two 2 s . 9 d . boxes more completely cured me . " I am , yours most obediently , " Joun Osborn . " Witness—James Burgess , Bookseller , &o . &c , Hinckley . The following extraordinary case of cure has been communicated to the Wholesale Agent for Parr ' s Life Pills , at Nottingham : — Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Leuton , near Nottingham , has been severely afflicted , for the last thirty years , with a violent cough , and difficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations . She took cold when only fifteen years old , and the cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life Pills . She had tried almost every kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' s Pills about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box , she found herself completely cured , and was never affected in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now better in health than she has ever been in her life . This cure does indeed appear miraculous , but for the satisfaction of Che most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answer any inquiries , either by personal application or by letter , addressed " Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill I lose , Old Leuton . " Two remarkable cases ( selected from many others ) communicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer , 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull . Mr . Plaxton , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , had long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease . So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at hand to release him from his suflerings . For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all , evf n being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s Pil . s , " purchased a small box for him , and on his calling for a second box , he told me that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one box , he was able to * if down , and on taking two other boxes , his pains have left him ; his appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has ever been in his life . Mrs . Sbaw , wife of Mr . Shaw , yeast dealer , had been for a great length of time afflicted with a severe internal disease . To use his own expression , " p » ying doctors for her had beggared hinV ' so that at last he was compelled to send her to the Infirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit . Having heard of " Parr ' s Pills , " he purchased a small box ; she began to mend immediately on taking them , arid two more boxes have cured her . She is as well as she ever was in her life . Mrs . Stephenson , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , has been severely afflicted with a bad leg for more than ten years , and during that period has tried all kinds of medicines , but without any permanent relief . After taking four small boxes of Parr ' s Pills , she is able to go about her day ' s business in a manner which for comfort has been unknown to her for above ten years . Signed , Edmund Stephenson , her Son . Witness—Joseph Noble , Hull , May 8 , 1841 . * ' To the Proprietors of Parr's Pills . "Mrs . Ann Lamb , of Haddington , in the Parish of Auborn , bought two small boxes of Parr ' s Pills , at your Agent ' s Medicine Warehouse , Mr . James DruryyStationer , near the Stone Bow , Lincoln , for her son Jesse , who was suffering very badly from Rheumatism in the hands , kneei , and shoulders ; he is seventeen years of age , and in service , but was obliged to leave his place from the complaint . The two boxes completed a cure on him , and Mrs . Lamb bought a third box of Mr . James Drury , last Friday , for him to have by him , anil to take occasionally . He has now returned to his place , free from Rheu * matism . .. -. ¦ . ¦ " This statement , by Mr . Robt . Lamb , and Ann , his wife , parents of the youth , is given that others may benefit by those invaluable Pills , Old Parr , and they will willingly answer any enquiries , and feelvery thankful for the good they have done to their son .

      BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Prout , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 , 1841 . SIR . —I have mnch pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills have be « n of the-greatest service to me . Between nine and tea months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Sciatica ; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a period , baffles any description which I can possibly give of my then miserable state . I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . I had the best medical advice , including that of two physician in London , without obtaining any . essential relief . I went to Margate , and had the best medical advice , trying the warm bath there and at other places , without obtaining any benefit . A short time ago I was recommended to try Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills ; and was thereby induced to purchase aboxof this valuable medicine of Messrs . Hammond and Co ., chemists , of this town , and before I had taken the quantity therein contained , was entirely free from pain , and speedily recovered my . health by taking a few more Pills , and happily there has been no return of this distressing malady . You are at liberty to publish my case , in the hope thereby that this excellent medicine may be the means of relieving others . I am , Sir , your's respectfully , J . B . MISKIN , Brewer and maltster , Dartford , Kent . P . S . —If I could possibly speak in stronger terms of your invaluable medicine , I should be most happy , for it is impossible for language to describe the relief I have experienced . 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 unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give relief in a few hours , where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease , bat restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism , either chronic or aoute , lumbago , sciatica , pains in the 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 the benign influence of this medicine . Ask for Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , and observe the name and address of " Thomas Pront , 229 , Strand , London , " impressed on the Government Stamp affixed to each Box of the Genuine Medicine .

      CARLISLE . —Mrs . Frost jl > t > James Bbontbhrb O'Brikx . —Since the announcement of the . distressed circumstances in which Mrs . Frost has unfortnnately been placed , and the serious indisposition of that master mind , Mr . O'Brien , the most lively interest has been manifested in their behalf . One pound has been Bent off for Mrs . Frost , and a subscription iB going on in behalf of Mr . O'Brien , whose life we sincerely trust will be spared . Were it not for the Tery depressed state of trade here , much more vroald have been collected , but neTer in our

      recollection has there been so much Buffering and distress . The wages of nearly all those engaged in the m&nnfaetnre of cotton goods are being reduced , and many of the works are running short time . Whether this arises from a ruse on the part of the masters to give effect to their anti-Corn Law agitation , or whether it is the effects of bad trade , we know not , but of one thing we are certain , that is ,. that they never lose an opportunity , on the alightestplea being offered them , of taking a villanoB ^ idvantage of the work people .

      SHBARCBAN . —On Saturday evening , May 8 , a lecture was delivered in this place by Mr . Wm . Thomason ; it contained a copious expose' of national abuses , as well as the method by which they were to be redressed . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer and chairman , and the meeting dispersed . Mr . Thomason preached three sermons to attentive and intelligent audiences , and impressions made which will indnce them to unite more perseveringly in working out the redemption of- oar common country . XSATiVERM , Worcbstkbshibb . —The Chartists of this place have forwarded their petition to Mr . Duncombe for presentation . They have also sent the sum of 5 s . 6 d . to our office towards the expences of the Petition Convention .

      ELGIN— The Chartists of Elgin have had an excellent meeting , notwithstanding the opposition of the middleocracy , of which they have had a sample . Speeches of the right sort were delivered , in which the principles of the Charter were fully and explicitly elucidated , the trickery of the factions forcibly exposed , and the " new move" deprecated . A petition on behalf of the incarcerated and exiled Chartists was adopted , which has since been forwarded for presentation . A subscription wa 3 made in aid ofth * Convention , the amount of which we have noticed in the proper place .

      VALE OP LEVEN . —On Saturday evening , May the 8 th , a lecture was delivered in the Democratic Seminary , Alexandria , by John M'Crae , Kilbarchan . The address made a powerful impression upon the audience . At its close , Dr . Smellie moved , and James Smith seconded , " That a committee be chosen to get up a petitien for the repeal of the Corn Law 3 . " An amendment was moved by James Aitken , seconded by Peter Robertson , " That this meeting is of opinion that the grievances of the people will never be redressed until Universal Suffrage be-the

      law of the land ; this meeting pledge 3 itself to join no party , but continue its onward course until the whole Charter , and nothing less , become the law of the land . " The amendment was carried by a forest of hand ? . A resolution was brought forward by John Weir , seconded by Mr . M'Crae , ** That this meeting pledges itself to bring forward a Chartist candidate at the next general election for the County of Dumbarton . " A vote of thanks was given to Mr . M'Crae and the Chairman , and the meeting separated . Mr . M'Crae preached twice in the Democratic Seminary , on the Sabbath following .

      OTJSEBURN . —The Chartista of this place held their weekly meeting , on Sunday morning , May 16 th , in the bchool-room , Bjker ' s Buildings . After the preliminary business had been gone through , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . 's letter was read from the Star , when a resolution was moved and carried unanimously , pledging themselves to carry out the excellent recommendations of exclusive dealing stated in the letter , and that they are determined to buy neither groceries , cloth , hats , shoes , or get anything made of any one who will not pledge himself to * ote for a Chartist candidate , when brought forward , and join the Association . A conversation then ensued about get' . ing up a public meeting , when a resolution was moved and carried , that a

      public meeting be held on the Ballast Hills , on Wednesday evening , May 26 th , at nine o'clock . It was suggested that a subscription be made at the close of the meeting , oa behalf of Mrs . Frost , which will be dace . A number of individuals * gave some shillings , others sixpences , eight threepence each , for the victim fund . A vote of thanks was passed to the Convention , for their unity , energy , and perseverance in behalf of Frost and his compatriotF , and the incarcerated Chrrtists . It was the most Epirited meeting we have had for some time . A great many strangers were present from Hetton and surrounding neighbourhood , to whom we gave a great many tracts , to distribute among their fellow workmen . We hare got 1 , 100 signatures of males to the petition , which was ^ sent to Newcastle .

      NEW LANARK . —A public meeting of the inhabitants was held on Wednesday , the 12 th instant , at the Independent Chapel , Mr . Thomas Navin , in the chair . A dispute took place as to the right of the Chartist 3 to be present ; after which the Corn Law party proceeded to elect a Committee , amidst the disapprobation of the meeting , and with a decided minority . Mr . Martin then read a petition in favour of the ministerial measure , and Mr . Chambers moved an amendment , stating , that the meeting concur in a repeal of the Cora Law 3 , but had no faith in her Majesty's Ministers , and affirming thai the surest method of repealing the Corn Law 3 was by obtaining the People ' s Charter , which would give the whole body of the people a share in the representation of the country . A division took place on the question , which showed a large majority in favour of the amendment . The meeting quietly separated , its coneootors being evidently cosgriued at the

      result . MANCHESTER , South Lancashire Delegate ilEETiSG . —The above meeting was held in the Brown-street Chartist Room , East Manchester , on Sunday afternoon last , the 16 th of May , for the transaction of business connected "with the cause in the above county . Delegates present : —Mr .

      Exersly Dootson , Prestwich ; Richard Allen , Pilkington . The credentials were read over , the accounts examined and found correct , and other business for which they had met before , was dispensed with ; after which the following resolutions were submitted and called forth discassion , and ultimately passed nnanimoisly ; moved by Jahn Mossey , and seconded by Edward Lawless : —1 st ' -That it is the opinion of the delegates present , that the men who are going about the country calling mestin's upon ' the subject of the Corn Law 3 , are insincere , deceitful , ani wish to delude the peopls . They profess to be the friends of the working classes ; which professions we conceive mere humbug and treachery to gain confidence , as-fnlJy demonstrated in their conduct in resorting to every means

      within their power to lock the working men ' s ja ^ s , and cunningly evale pnblic discussion . That the question is purely one betwix * the cetton lord and the landlord ; in the way they advocate it , therefore , we believe their object is not to benefit the working classes , otherwise they woold assist them to obtain a power ever the law which would protect their labour , which is their only property , and the loaf when they haTe it . " 2 nd . Moved by Thomas Davies , and seconded by Jonas Schofield , " That this meeting confirms the resolution pissed by the Oldham peeple in reference to Mr . Greaves , as we have full evidence that he has become an instalment man , and that it is our determination not to countenance any one in this movement who will not ,, or who does not , advocate the Charter , and nothing

      ies 3 . " 3 rd . Moved by John Cartledge , jmd seconded iy Mr . Exersly , " That we agree with the plan laid down by Feargus O'Connor , relative to exclusive dealings ; and we recommend it to be carried out generally , in « rder to bring the shopocracy to a ssnse of their duty towards the producing millions of this empire . That the tills being empty will be a slap in tile face to the middle das 3 , which 'will mate them savaje , and prcbably be the means of opening their blind eyes , and convince their stubborn understaudings that the working classes have rights as well as themselves , and that the oppression and tyranny which has flo long been practised by every class of society upon the most essential , most useful , and , consequently , most important class of society , —nay , further , the

      prop of the nation , namely , the producing millions , « h * H be brought to an end ; and that no man . deserves to be supported by the working man who will not in return support him by voting that the brand mark of slavery and inferiority may be erased from his brow . " 4 th . " That the delegates present view with feelings of regret the circumstances which have apparently caused a bad feeling to exist is the mind of Mr . H . Hatherington towards okt present organization , and Feargus O'Connor , Esq . ; but , at both are in prison , ire Till leave those questions , which are not immediately connected with us , to be settled betwixt

      them-Belve *; still we consider Mr . Hetherington has made a Tery erroneous and unwarrantable comparison in stating that Feargus is ' as great „ a humbug * as Daniel O'Conuell , and relative to the' Association being Mi . O'Connor ' s ; and that , we , the members , of it , ids tail , take that assertion to be a direct insult upon every individual member , more . especially whan we take into consideration the noto-- xsxts ?! le £ r | tet O'Connor had nothing at all to-do with !^* r r tb& . fonnlngf of the plan of organisation ; that he was - ; - ' then jEnjcflKril ; that the people ' s delegates met twice in -Mknc&mlsi f and sat several days each time , and _^ that -Ffirj ^ &Ter bsw it till it was printed . Such " . ' . " " . lM i * 9 % tf OBM ^ j iref wish TBSpectfnlly to convey to Mr . \ Hetheringtoc ' » ii < l the country at large , that we are not ; " U » 'took of Jsargus O'Connor , or any other nun ; that 'Wtt jgijp £ Q& 5 i £ teBcy in every man , and are prepared - " ¦ - „ " ¦ - - * ' ¦ ¦ fcvifisW

      to throw every man overboard -who does not act up thereto . " Mr . Davies moved this , and Mr . Massey « eeended it , and Mr . Julian Harney was requested by the delegates to either speak for the motion or against it , which he felt prepared to do , upon which he said he had no wish to mix himself with party squabbles , though he had too often been compelled , in selfdefence , to do so upon former occasions ; nevertheless , being called upon , he would offer a werd or two upon the conduct of certain parties who figured at the head of the " new move . " He had been a member of the London Working Men ' s Associatien , the leaders of which were mostly the leaders of the " new move ;" he could testify to the truth of William Rider ' s asser tion , that the members of that body were really anything but working men . The occasion of his leaving

      tbat body was as follows : —At the time the Glasgow Cotton Spinners lay in Edinburgh gaol , awaiting their trial , Daniel O'Connell thought proper , in a speech made in the House of Commons , to denounce these persecuted men , and with them the trades * unionists of England , Ireland , and Scotland , generally , asserting that they were banded together , for the most atrocious purposes , not scrupling to resort > even to assassination to effect their ends . He ( Mr . H . ) was not a trades unionist , but deemed it his duty to call the attention of the Working Men ' s Association to this matter ; he did bo ; the answer was , " Write to O'Connell , and if be pleads guilty to the charge , no language will be too severe in which to denounce his viilany . " He ( Mr . H . ) did so ; he wrote to O'Connell : Dan replied in a saucy note , stating he had sent his answer to his ( Mr . H . ' s )

      questions to Mr . Cleave . He went to Mr . Cleave . Mr . Cleave read Dan ' s answer to him , in which he ( O'Connell ) twice distinctly stated that , although not fully reported his speech so far as it appeared was correct—upon this be ( Mr . H . ) moved certain resolutions in the Working Men's Association denouncing O'Connell as the enemy of the working classes ; his resolutions were rejected , the only parties supporting him belnj Mr . Ireland , afterwards one of the leaders of the Democratic Association , and an excellent patriot , and Mr . Neesom , afterwards member for Bristol in the Convention ; Mr . Cleave had declined giving up the correspondence with Dan to him , ( Mr . H ., ) but had committed it to the Working Men ' s Association , He ( Mr . H . ) then demanded the correspondence , that he might publish it The Association by vote refused it He next demanded

      a copy ; the Association , by vote , again refused ; and lastly , the Association passed a resolution to lock up the correspondence in the secretary's desk , that its publication might be prevented . He , however , published in the Northern Star , the Champibn , and other papers , all that portion of the correspondence he retained in his own hands . For this he was hauled over the coals , and a vote of censure passed npon him , —icries of hear , ) whereupon he flung np his card , as did Messrs . Ireland and Neesom , and they three founded the Democratic Association , which , if it did no other good , did this—it crushed , it annihilated , the humbug "Working Men's Association . ( Cheers . ) After some other remarks , Mr . Harney said , in reference to Mr . Levett , he considered it but right that he should speak to the conduct of Mr . Lovett , when Secretary to

      the Convention ; whatever had been his feelings toward that gentleman as Secretary to the Working Men ' s Association , when he saw that the courage of Mr . Lovett increased as the danger menacing the Convention augmented—that he rose equal to the crisis—he l Mr . H . ) flung to the winds all remembrance of the past , and hailed and did honour to Mr . Lovett as a man worthy the most perfect confidence , esteem , and admiration of the people . When he ( Mr . Haraeyi remembered this , he deplored that Mr . Lovett was not with them ; he lamented to see one bo talented in the company of , and associated with , parties whose sincerity he ( Mr . H . ) doubted—in whose patriotism he had no faith . Mr . Harnay concluded by giving it as his opinion that had it been O'Connor himself who had proposed the " new move , " the people would at once

      have flung him overboard . Thank God , the people cared now everything for principle , nothing for men . ( Cheers . ) But as regards Mr . O'Connor , though at times he had differed with that gentleman , particularly upon the question of the National Holiday , he ( Mr . Harney ) would say , that he ( O'Connor ) had well earned , by his meritorious labours in the cause of democracy , the people ' s confidence and love . These he had , and bo long as Mr . 0 Connor continued to act the same straightfor ward part , the people would support him , and every effort of his enemies to ruin him would miserably faiL Mr . Harney resumed his seat amidst load cheers . 5 th- " That every delegate be requested to instruct

      the secretary of his district to send the time and place of meeting , to the county secretary , as early as possible , for the benefit of the missionary in making out his tour . " 6 th . " That we perfectly agree that the Convention should sit another fortnight , and that one penny per head be levied npon the Association , and every other means tried , to Eupport the representatives of the working men . " 7 th . " That Mr . Leech be re-elected as lecturer for the next month , he giving every satisfaction in the capacity in which he is placed . " 8 th . " That this meeting stand adjourned till this day month . " —A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman for his valuable services . The business throughout was conducted orderly and with the best feeling .

      Lecture bt Mr . Doyle , a * Irish Chartist . — On Sunday evening last , in the Chartist Room , Tibstreet , a lecture was delivered by this gentleman . He commenced by saying that he was very happy to have the opportunity of expressing to them his opinion openly and above beard , and without being afraid of being , as had been done on a very recent occasion , pot down by the argument of clamour , physical force , and violence . ( Hear , hear . ) Those who wish to advance their cause by persecuting the members of another , will never succeed . But , in many instances , the cause which had been most persecuted had prospered best ; jnst so it was with Chartism . The pleasing prospects of the Chartists , and the success which they have of late met with , have been owing chiefly to the fair and upright manner in which they had , on all occasions ,

      conducted their proceedings . Projects had been put out by hypocrites of the deepest die ; men who called upon the people for support to obtain a certain end , and then they , in return , would never rest satisfied till they , the people , were in possession of their rights also , who , after miking such promises , could turn round npon the very parties who put them in power . Have not the Whigs done this ? ( A voice— " Yes . ") They had ; and he was not sorry that these wretches were dying a political death—that an end would shortly be pnt to their life of mischief and mismla They were now gasping for breath : away with them , he ¦ wou ! d say , and God speed their flight . ( Laughter and cheers , and a voice or two said , " Amen , amen . ") Xo man who possessed common sense could look upon the present anomaly of things , if he laid claim , at the

      same time , to honesty , sympathy , and truth . ( Hear . ) Here he found the artizins of Great Britain sinking lower ani lower in their condition—so much so that they were actually in " thousands bordering upon starvation—that the one class who have to toil and fill the granaries with corn , to build the mansions , fight the battles , man the ships , and fill the warehouses with cloth , are starving for tool and clothing , whilst the other class , who produca nothing useful to society , are living in the greatest splendour , and luxuriating upon the fat of the land . That this was the case , no one conll deny ; and why was it so ? There must be a cause for all this . Why , the cause was , one class had the power to make the laws to keep the other in siavery , want , and bondage . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , in order to ses whether this class have properly

      discharged their duty , and to come to an understanding upon the subject , it -was necessary to look at theii actions . He , therefore , would direct their attention to these classes separately . The first class , then , was what is termed the Royal . There are persons who contend that it is the will of God there should be kings . Mr . Doyle then went to the origin of kings , as laid down in the first chapter of Samuel , and his declarations were that kings were not first established by God , but by men . Of course he allowed every man to enjoy Ms own opinion upon the point Mr . Doyle said that , according to history , wherever they had a king in any nation , poverty , misery , and wretchedness were the lot of the mass of the people . We have been told that we have had good kings . Now , how many good kings have we had in this country ? Ten ? 2 s " o . Xine ? Xo . Here the lecturer came down

      to two , and said that we have not even had so many good kings . He would acknowledge only one , and tbat was Alfred . He was the only man who was and acted liie a fither to his people . He was the only one who appeared to wish to see his people in a Etate of happiness . He only ha 3 been the king who wished to give true liberty to the people . ( Hear , hear . ) Tfce speaker continued in this strain for stme time Here the speaker commenced upon the wars , and gave an account of the money Bpent and the lives lost . Then came to our beloved Queen's salary , -which was £ 470 , 800 a year . The same sum , if divided , weuldgive to 38 , 128 hand-loom weavers 6 i . per week . Then there was another royal beggar who received £ 30 , 000 per year . Then there is the young Princess , who will require in a very short time six or eight thousand to educate . And it is

      said that the Queen is " in a likely way again . " So that we seem likely enough to have young Royal paupers springing up like mushrooms . ( Laughter . ) The speaker then went on to shew the amount of money the King of Belgium and the King of Hanover have cost this country , and compared it with the wages of the agricultural labourers , and showed how many it would keep according to their rate of -wages . On th 9 14 th of May , 183 » , Sir James Graham moved for an humble address to his Majesty for an account of all salaries , pay , fees , and emoluments , whether civil or military , from the 5 th of January , 1829 , to the 5 th of January , 1839 , held and enjoyed by each of his Majesty ' s Most Honourable Privy Council , specifying with each name the total amount received by each individual , and distinguishing the

      various sources from which the same was derived . The total number of Privy Councillors was 169 , of whieh 113 received public money . The whole sum distributed annually amongst th * se 113 was £ 650 , 184 , and the average proportion of that sum paid to each yearly was £ 5 , 752 . Of this total of £ t > 50 , 164 , £ 86 , 103 was for sinecures , £ 442 , 411 for what was &u ! ed active services , and £ 12 , 650 for pensions . Now , friends ( said Doyle ) , out of the 113 Privy Councillors who vere receivers of the public money , thirty were pluralists , or persons holding more ofSees than one , either as sinecurists , or civil and military officers . The amount received by the pluralists -was £ 224 , 133 annually amongst them all , or £ 7 . 321 , upon an average , to each annually . The number of Privy Councillors who enjoyed full or ha 3 f-

      Untitled Article

      pay , or were pensioned as diplomatists , was twenty-nine , and the gross amount of their income irem the pubJlc purse was £ 126 , 175 , or , npon an average , a yearly income to each individual of £ 4 , 347 . The whole num . ber of Privy Councillors who were members of both Houses of Parliament was Bixty-nine , and of those seventeen were Peers , whose gross income from the public purse was £ 378 , 846 , or , upon an average to each , £ 8 , 065 a-year . These robbers took an eightyeighth park of the National- Debt The whole expenditure of the civil and military list of the Government of America was—President , 25 , 009 dollars ; Vice-President , 5 , 900 ; Secretary of State , 6 , 000 ; Secretary to the Treasury , 6 , 000 ; Secretary of War , 6 , 010 ; Secretary to the Navy , 6 , 000 ; Postmaster , 3 , 500 ; the Chief Justice 6 , 000 ; six Judges , 5 , 000 each ; three

      Commissioners of the Navy , 3 , 000 each ; making a total of £ 24 , 299 of English money . The late Marquis of Buckingham received from his sinecure £ 700 , 000 ; the Marquis of Camden , £ 700 , 000 ; Lerd Arden , £ 500 , 000 ; the family of the Seymours , £ 400 , 000 ; the Dukes of Richmond , Grafton , Marquis of Bate , Lord Melville , and others , nearly half a million each . ( Hear , and loud cries of " Shame , shame . " ) Now let us Bee the increase of taxes . When Queen Anne cwie to the throne in 1701 , the yearly amount of the taxes was £ 4 , 212 , 858 . When George the first came to the throne in 1714 , it was £ 6 , 762 , 643 . When George the second came to the throne in 1727 , it was £ 16 , 652 , 540 . When George tho third came to the throne in 1760 , it was £ 8 , 744 , 682 . After the American War , in 1784 , it was £ 13 , 300 . 921 . At the

      close of the Anti-Jacobin-war , in 1801 , it was £ 36 , 728 , 971 . For the year 1809 , it was £ 70 , 240 , 226 . The English in Germany . It is estimated that there are in Germany 150 , 00 * English families who spend each npon an average £ 200 , or in the aggregate , £ 30 , 000 , 000 sterling . This is unquestionably a larger sum than the profits of our trade with all Europe amounts to , in the twenty-two years of peace . It would amount to £ 668 , 000 , 000 , or nearly as much as three-fourths of the miscalled National Debt The Duke of Buccleugh is in the receipt of £ 250 , 000 , The Marquis of Salisbury , £ 330 , 000 . The Duke of Northumberland , £ 280 , 000 . The above sums make a total

      of £ 880 , 000 , which would give 17 , 600 persons £ 50 each , for one year . In 1688 there were 160 temporal peers in England , whose average incomes amounted to £ 3 , 200 each per annum . Now 3 , 200 multiplied by 160 , makes an aggregate of 512 , 008 , so that three peers of the present day receive £ 268 , 000 more than the whele of the peers of England did at that time ; of course money was more valuable . The lecturer continued enumerating facts and figures , for about an hour and a half , and made some very appropriate remarks on the various classes of society , and concluded amid the cheers of his audience , an argumentative , eloquent , and convincing speech , by very forcibly recommending perseverance for the attainment of the Charter .
