It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to th& public health .

Lambeth . —Bhitannia Coffbb Hocse , Watkbloo-boad . —At the weekly meeting of members on Monday evening , a deputation was received from the Metropolitan Delegate Meeting , "whe impressed on tbe meeting the necessity ard importance of all uniting and co-operating together to carry out the Plan for the Organization of the metropolis , and sending delegates to tbe Conference . It was agreed to take the question into consideration on Monday evening next , and to summoB tbe members especially for that purpose . Watfoei > . —The second animal Chartist excursion to this pleasant to wo , took place on I Monday last . About nine o clock , upwards of four hundred persons , of both sexes , left the Marylebone Chartist station , in vans , omnlbusses , gigs , landaus , &c , gaily decorated
with Chartist banners and devices . The day was loveryin the extreme . The -vazions town * and villages OH the road poured forth their population to view tbe sight , and greet the Cbartists . Large' quantities of tracts . Northern Stars , Circulars , fee ., were distributed , and eagerly sought after by the agricultural population , and the greatest good feeling seemed to exist , not only towards the individuals , but likewise towards ihe principles . Aboat two miles ont of Watford , the procession was met by two excellent brass bauds , and then proceeded through the town playing the ! " Manelloise Hymn , " and other democratic airs . A large pavilllon bad been erected at the Wheat Sheaf Inn , and ample accommodation provided by the -werthy host for hia numerous guests . The gardens and grounds were
thrown open to the public , and dancing , and other innocent amusements , -wiled away the | summer day . The only drawback on the pleasures of tbe day , was the presence of a body of the Metropolitan police , many of whom -were in disguise . It had been contemplated to bold a public meeting oaf the occasion ; but tyranny threateaedto suspend the landlord ' s license if it was allowed on bis premises ; and Watford Fields , where the last meeting was held , being ' Lammas land , was not yet denuded of grass . For this and other reasons no public meeting was holden , much to the disappeiutmeBt of many of the inhabitants . They were , however , consoled by the promise of a visit from feargus O'Connor , Esq . at an early period . The visitors
met "with the greatest courtesy from the inhabitants , which shews the silent progress of . our principles . On the occasion of the previous visit , during the late Strike , the greatest alarm-was manifested ^ at the Chartist eruption , which certainly was more formidable than the present in numbers ; many of the shops were closed , and the greatest ignorance upon the real ol'jects of Chartism prevailed . Now the very reverse was manifested ; and instead of the magistrates placing a corps of 500 policemen in ambush , twelve j were thought sufficient to preserve thepeace . Another visit -will shew that these also may be dispensed with .: Ihe procession arrived safe in the metropolis about twelve o ' clock , without a single accident having occurred .

ro--pers , commenting upon the Bill now before Parliament , tod contrasted th ^ f ^ of JfietjSetog (^ mpeUed |^ ipuid a certain portion o ^ tteir earnin gs with ; the " . publlcan with the exertions efFAtiier ^ Mathew , of trhom fee ipokeTinJdgh ; termsb | praise ,: « ad showedho ^ gr ^ Hfying It must be to the Irish Catholics to see him received by the English as an Apostle . He then dwelt , upon the evils of Mother Church , snd stated the fact of his being compelled many years ago t « banish himself frem IBs country on account efhla opposition to tithes , shewing that no' chance of justice could be expected from onr present rulers . In xererence to Church Property , Stanley , RuBsell , ; and Co . -would never vote against the Church ; because those laymen had much to loss of that description of property . He then showed that no nope
of justice to- England or Repeal fer Ireland could be expected from the Whigs . The Tories , too , bad changed their tactics , seeing that both nations were determined npon Repeat They said it was better to l eave them alone , and the candle W 6 uld burn itself out —( laughter and cheers ) . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt npon the Land in connection with the Chatter , and ahowed the superiority of the agriculturist over the manufacturing labourer . The £ 20 , 000 , 000 granted to black slave owners , if applied to the land , would have purchased one million acres of freehold land for ever . Who could conceive of the benefit of such a purchase , when contrasted with the use to which the money was applied ? -fie then dwelt on the question of macbiaery , showing that under proper arrangements it would be
a benefit intead of a curse to the working man . The present rise in the price of bread , when corn was falling , showed how small a quantum of sympathy the consumer received from middle class men and " free traders . " What did . they think of the conduct of Eatl Roden , the modern spir itual Quixote 1 The poor were ejected fron ? their bpldings because they would not vote for their l andlords . ; tills proved that land conferred the franchise , and shewedlthe necessity of their obtaining possession of a portion of it . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt upon tbe falling off of last quarter ' s Revenue , and upon the assertion of Father Mathew , that next quarter would be worse . It showed the melancholy fact that the revenue depended upon the dissipation of the people . Mr .
O'Connor then remarked on the precarious state of tbe Welsh provinces . He had received letters from that quarter , wherein tile Chartists pledged themselves to have nothing to do with the "Rebecca" riots . His prediction in reference to Peel's tariff , was fully justified . , That . ' day ' s Ttmes had shown that the Welsh farmers were forming unions for the reduction of their rents . The rpollcy of the Chartist body consisted in keeping aloof-from all minor agitations . The only party they could consistently join with was the Repealers of the Union . Mr- O'Connor concluded amid much applause , an address of upwards of two hours duration , by apologising for Mr . Roberts , the Chartist Attorney-General , who was on the platform , not addressing them . ¦
Mr . Fbazer moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Spencer , and carried unanimously : — : " That this meeting returns its unfeigned thanks to that unflinching friend of humanity , Feargus O'Cpnnor , Esq ., for bis gratuitous services to the working classes without reference to creed or country ; and who , while political trucksters have bartered their ephemeral popularity for wealth and station , has devoted his wellearned and lasting fame to its only legitimate purpose , namely , the benefit of those from -whom he received it , the people . | And this meeting fully concurring in the sentiments so clearly developed and so eloquently enforced by that gentleman , ate firmly of opinion that
the interests of the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland are identical , and that unanimity can only protect and defend those interests , do pledge ourselves individually arid collectively to threw every facility in the way of procuring that measure of justice for our Irish brethren , a repeal of the Legislative Union ; at the same time never loosing sight of the People ' s Charter as the only measure that will procure for the people of both countries lasting happiness by giving them a legitimate controul over their own affiirs . In conclusion , this meeting pledges itself never to place confidence in any political reformer who will propose or support any measure of representative reform in any way short of jthat document " A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dispersed highly gratified . i
