BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Prout , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 , 1841 . SIR , —I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills have been of tne greatest service to me . Between nine and ten months ago 1 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 siato . I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . I had the best medical advice , including that ot two physicians in London , without obtaining auy 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 .

SALFORS . —( From our Manchester Correspondent ; omitted last iceek . j—On Tuesday according to announcement by placard , a public meeting was convened in the Town Hall , Salford , for & *• v ^ - pose of taking into cqsabl * # «« oii tne treatment o Feargus O'Conccr , Esq ., and to petition the Thro ae ¦ e » d tTie Parliament on behalf of Frost , Willies , and Jones . Mr . Littler , member of the Provisional Oouneil , was elected to the chair , who , after making a- few appropriate observations on the business , for which they had met , called upon Mr . Robf j ^ to move the first resolution , which was as follows : —
" That this meeting is of opinion , that the treatment inflicted upon Feargus U'Coonor is cruel and unjust , and contrary to tbe spiiii of British jurisprudencs ; and , farther , that this meeting considers that persecution and prosecution must ever be the fate of the patriot and philanthropist , and that full justice can never be done to the ¦ working classes until they are represented in the Legislature of the British assembly . ' " The re 3 olutioa was seconded by Mr . Champlkdk , and supported by Mr . Doyle .
Mr , Bell moved the petition to the Qneen on behalf of Feirgus O'Connor . He said that that meetitJ * was oae of importance , not onJy i ; i reference to Feargus O'Connor , but to that class of whom he had hem the disinterested and ULfl . mcb . ing advocate . The ( j jcument which he had the pleasure of moving did not ask for mercy , but merely justice , according to the spirit of the British law , and because the treatment of that gentleman had not been iu accordance vnik his sentence ; and as the stab was inflicted upon him for defending the rights of tne working classes , it wa 3 just that . they should meet and register their voices against it . The ppeaker then went into the justness of the claims of the Chartists , and
¦ when they saw that they stood forward in a just cause of right against might , they wouid continue to agitate ; at least , he would , so Jar as his abilities ¦ would permit . Unless ihey could prove to him that he , and the class to which he belonged , had no right to be represented , he would continue to ele-Tata his voice uuiil he enjoyed that right which would ula . ee him ia the portion iu which God intended he s-hould be , and till the brand of slavery "wa 3 erased from his brow . He thought that the conduc : of Mr . 0 Connor had been sufficiently before their eyes ; therefore he would leave him in their hands , submitting tha petition with his most cordial support . ( Cheers . " *
A man ia the hail seconded it , aad when put it was carried with loud cheering . The following is the petition : — To the Queen ' s Most Excellent Majesty . Tne Inhabitants of Salford , in public meeting assembled , HCJfBLT SHEWETH , That Feargns O'Connor was convicted of libel at the York Assizes , and wss sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment . That , in accerdauce ¦ with the sentence , the sdd Fearrus O'Connor , Esq . was confined in York Casiie , and to be k « pt there tid the expiration of his term tf imprisonment . Tiiat your petitioners have heard , with surprise and sorrow , that Mr . O'Connor has been sa j-ctt < l to cruel treatment in prison , and that some of the few privileges he had in pri 39 n , are being takeA . from him .
Believing such conduct to be inconsistent ¦ with the professedly humane spirit of English law , especially as his offsnee wss not criminal , your petitioners . humbly submit hia case to your Majesty , with the hope that your Majesty will cause inquiries to be made into the facts of the case , and to interpose , for the purpose of making such alteration in his treatment ¦ •>* the nature of the offence , the spirit of British law , and the humanity of your Majesty , may think proper . And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will ever pray . Mr . Tillma-n moved the following resolution : —
" That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the sentence passei upon John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Joses , was illegal , inasmuch as the Judges disagreed on the objection raised by S ; r Frederick Poll- ck ; a doubt was necessarily raised , and the prisoner should have the benefit of any doubt , according to the British law . " Mr . T . said it gave him great pleasure to see the men of Manchester met for such a laudable purp . se . It was ft good omen , and proved to the tyrants that the fate of those unfortunate men would never be erased from , the tablets of their memory . He raw before him men of respectability and intelligence . He rejoiced to see such a goodly number of females before him ; and the Ti » n -who could make use of the expression ¦ which
Daniel 0 Connell did , m regard to the females of England , deserved the eiecratisn of ever ? man who loved Use other sex . ( Hear , hear . ) Had Frost , " Williams , and Jones , been of the ^ same stamp as that rile and slanderous traitor , they would not have been where they are now . { Hear , hear , tear ) But where would they have beta now had it not been for public opinion ? Why , rotting in their Jpavts . iGroans . ) I }? Spfaktl then explained a speech which he Lad made at Bradford , and complained most bitterly of the wrong construction which the Lied * Times and the Weekly Chronicle had put upon it , ¦ which was making him , Tiilman , into a bloodthirsty physical-force man . He then gave the precise words which he did say , in contradistinction
to the reports of the Times and the Chronicle , and ; challenged the base penny-a-liner or Lord J . Husstll ' s j reporter to come upon the s'age and defend himself . ; He was quite coascioua that the Government and their tools had their eyes upon him . He would advocate ; the cause he espoused in spite of all opposition ; but he was not going to throw himself recklessly into the hands of the Government . ( Hear , hear . f Mr . < Tinman commented upon the great meeting wt Leeds , and said if he had the chance , he would ring the names of Frost , Williams , and Jones in the ears of the Big 0 ., acd would let him aee thit though the working cltsses were maligned for being ignorant , yet they were divested of sophistry , and possessed talent s and common s ; ree . Se would in / arm the audience what talents he possessed , -which were that , if -he thought proper , he could be as wicked as any man the Government could employ ; and , oh the contrary , he could be
* 3 virtuous . / Hear . ) He then made a few remarks on the contact of William Lovett and John Collins sign- ; ing a document ¦ which they knew would bring them into collision with the law ; by so doing they had imxaortalxse-i themselrea as patriots ; yts , and the very same thing which made them patriots , wou'd make a Tillman , or aay other man , a patriot ( CheeTs , and hear , hear } Hear that , ye reporters of Lord John Ru ^ seil ! It was because Juhn Frost had bearded thai little reptile , that be wss naw on the penal codes—becacss he told him of h s low , mean , dirty , unprincipled tricks , and dared to publish the correspondence , and refused to accept of a bribe . ( Hear , hear . ) But the working men of England must make his 6 &se as thouih it was ihe : r own , and declare , yea , demand the restoration of tkesa men . He ha-1 faith they-would do si , and that these unflinching men would come back and assist in the acaicrement of the rights of his countrymen .
Mr . HaBRIS seconded the ns » luuon , which was carried 1 > t acclamation . ; Mr . Ccrees moved , in an eloquent speech , the adoption vf the Birmingham Memorial , and pledged himself never to cease his exertions till Frost , Williams , and Jones were res-tored to their country , homes , and familiis . Mr . Joseph LissET rcB 3 to second the memorial , observing that the man who bad met a short time &eo on behalf of the Indian slaves were absent that night ; aad aftsr giving them s ri ^ ht good lashing for their inconsistent conduct as humanity-mongers , sat down amid loud cheers . The Cha IE . MAX read a placard , which kad apparently emanated from Leeda , and which called for deafening -eheer » on behalf of the Yorkshire Chartists .
A vote of thanks was given to our esteemed friend , Mr . Littler , the Chairman . Three cheers were then given for Feargus O'Connor , which made the large room ring again , anil three cheers for the three Welsh patriots ,-sad thus ended as orderly and as well-conducted a xneeting as we ever remember to have witnessed , " and ¦ truly verifies the assertion that the -working classes have * et up business for themselves . Mr . ThomaSSOS" 5 LEcrrSE . —On Sunday evening , Jfi . Thoniftsson delivered a lecture to the shoemakers and tailors , -which has done a great deal of good ; at the « oa « Es \ on , eleven members joined the National Charter A&wiaiion , and they subscribed 10 s . to be devoted towa -rda the great demonstration at Leeds . *

CAITHNESS . —Chartism at the E . vd of the World , or in the Capital of the Lajsd op Joh . n O'Groat . —In this hothouse of political strifo and animoHty , much has been heard about Chartism , akboogh much of what we have hitherto heard about it , ha 3 been conveyed to us through a corrupted medium . Until six or seven weeki ago , this place scarcely knew anything true or fair of the glorious aims and objects of the Charter movement . Sir . M'Bean , a working man , and truly a bold , and an intrepid advocate of the poor man ' s rights , has visited this place about eight weeks ago ; and after much personal exercion , and sacrifice of time and means , in pursuit of a place to lecture in , at last
succeeded in getting a large Bchool-room , in which he delivered one of the most eloquent and splendid lectures that ever was given in this place , on the self-improviDg principles of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks . Thia lecture raised Mr , M'Bean in the estimation and confidence of hi 8 working brethren . Mr . M'Bean showed , in a , n impressive manner , that self-reform was the highway t © national and community reform ; so much were his andknee convinced on this occasion that , if-they persisted in self-reform , in accordance with their duty and privileges , no power on earth could long continue to tyrannise over the rights oi humanity . In consequence of the appeals which Mr . M'Bean made on this occasion to the rational
judgment of his hearers , the watch-word here now is , — " Let us all be good men ourselves , and we shall soon overcome all our difficulties , political and social . " Inasmuch as Mr . M'Bean is trulj a political patriot of the first magnitude , he has given umbrage to some of the conscience-smitten milk-and-water reformers of this place , and , ii particular , to some of the leading officials of the ommittee of onr good Total Abstinence Societya society which has been established about twelve months ago , by Mr . R . Gray Mason , the great total abstiaenee missionary . This society has certainly done a great deal of good , and still continues to go on prosperously , although the conduct of . the individuals referred to , who have vainly attempted to persecute Mr . M'Bean and his associates for their laudable procedure , are more calculated to hinder the great progress of social amelioration than otherwise . However , those
individuals , we say say , are composed of a class who are vulgarly considered , by fools and passive serfs , to be the , ** better iBort of folks ; '' no doubt , oat they ire thought to be so , (?) just because their sh op * are fall ot tie creation of labour , and their pockets fall of the money of the working menmoney whwh we now know to have been Uken v' om th « m by ebicanery and fraud , or in the way of " n qual exchanges . The best of it is , that Mr . ^^ rt -an and bis associates do . moit cordially forgive & »*^ wretched , dark-minded dependants ; and toes * Tf t > \ they b * ve done everything that is low , althov * " jjjd gnmanly , ia itself , the patriots me *! . * * . i y determined to do all ia their » W-y r enlftfhten their dark minds , and , £ ?» # ~» Sring them to - * true knowledge of if possibly : ' should go ia .

strutted about for days and weeks , consulting all their earth-born authority to see if they coula , by any mean * , get Ms . M'Bean put out of the town , for propagating Chartism and total abstinence ; but while these busy bodies were squeaking and strutting , and ruining back and forward , the whole people ' s attention and sympathy was aroused , and the cry went from the one end of the town to the other , u What has this stranger done , that they want to pot him out of the town I" Mr . George Cormack , architect and undertaker , of this place , a man well known for his liberal principles and deeds of kindness , soon fitted up a most convenient place for a lecture-room for Sir . M'JiJean- a place held by him , by what the lawyers call the best title—namely ,
possession . Mr . Cormack boldly told the people , " Let us give the man a fair hearing , before you condemn him . " The people iu general seemed well pleased with Mr . Cormack ' s suggestion , but the next embarrassment that was to be overcome , was the mode of announcing the first political lecture , because the bellman was prohibited . However , Mr . M'Bean'd boldness in the cause of truth waa so great that he procured a hand-bell , and publicly announced his lectures through the town and suburbs ; and at the hour of lecture the place was crowded to excess . Mr . M'Bean commenced his first lecture by seating that all mankind are the creatures of one common Parent , and that they all have an equal claim on his providence and bounty . Mr . M'Bean
also related the doings of time and change , and the transition and progression of human society—the origin and design of all Governments—the abuse and weakness of the preseat Government , and the necessity of a change , embracing the People ' s Charter , as the btst means known to raise this nation to its proper dignity and position . Mr . SA'Bean has since given about twenty lectures , which were all well attended , and have given great satisfaction to the mass of the people hpre ; ia proof of which , there are at lea 4 oOO Chartists here now , and they are to be found amongst the soundest thinkers , and the most peaceable and virtuous portion of the community . To do honour to this fearie 68 champion of liberty , a
soiree was held in Mr . Leech ' s Coffee House , which was filled to overflowing by the producers of wealth , at which many appropriate speeches were delivered . The evening ' s entertainment went off iu the most harmonious and orderly manner , much to the annoyance of our adversaries , whose notions of gentility eeemed thunderstruck , to think that decorum and order coald exibt in a meeting of what they foolishly call " the lower orders . " At the request of those who attended the great soiree , Mr . M'Bean was earnestly solicited to continue his career of agitation , with which request he readily
complied , and for seven nights successively lectured to crowded audiences . Another soiree was eagerly demanded ; and on the 4 th inst . a soireee was held in a large loft , which was filled with the right honourable the producers of wealth of both sexes . Many excellent speeches were made , and soogs sung , which elicited much applause , and at the conclusion , three cheers were given for Frost , Williams , and Jone 8 , and a . U the re-t of the incarcerated patriots . This is the way that Chartism prospers at the " end of the world , John-o ' -Groai ' a . " Hurrah for O'Connor and the Northern Star . '—Cerrespondent .

44 , ALBION STREET , LEEDS . TN CASES of SECRECY consult the TREATISE 1 on every Stage and Symptom of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most alarming formsj 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 a . M ., 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 Speoifio Pills , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., aud 11 s . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry oa 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 Gonorrhsea , 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 cures , not only in recent and severe oases , 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 . Perry 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 Scoibutic affections . Eruptions onany part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal taint ; 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 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 ot 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 improDerlv
treated , a merelocal 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 byadisease 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 h « ad , face , and body , dimness of sight , noiBe in the ears , deafness , obstinate sleets .
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 Passage ; 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 core , after all other means have proved ineffectual .
Letters for advice must be post-paid , and contain tbe usual fee of one pound . ' , >
