BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this Work , are intended solelA " for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hair ' s-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , -which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Frinci-

YORK . A public meeting ^ was held on Thursday evening last , the 30 th inrt ., in the Charter AssociatioHroom , Fos » gate , for the purpose of adopting a memorial to the Secretary of State , in behalf of Robert Peddie , and other Chartist victim * convicted on the e-ridence of Harrison , the spy , Mr . Demaine in the chair . The memorial was proposed by Mr . Barley , and geeonded fey Mr . Cooper , and ably supported by Mr . Skeviagten , ( the East and North Riding lecturer ) and Mr . P . Brannon , from the Isle of Wight , and carried unanimously . The memorial is as folloirs : — To the Right Honourable Sir James Grahan , principal Secretary of State for the Home Department . The memorial of the inhabitants of the city of York , agreed to at a public meeting , held on Thursday , Sept Stth , 18 * 1 :
Respectfully sheiretii , —That Robert Peddie , William Brooks , and otUfers were convicted at the York Spring Asxizes , 1 S 40 , for conspiracy and riot , at Bradford , and sentenced to three years' imprisonmeHt ; the said Robt . Peddie , in the House of Correction , Beverley ; William BrookB , in the House of Correction , Northallerton ; and several others to the House of Correction , Wakefield , that during the imprisonment of the aforesaid prisoners , they have been subjected to the horrid restrictions of the silent system , the effects of which upon their health and constitutions are bo injurious thattheir phvsical pavers are being impaired .
That the aforesaid prisoners have yet according to the time ef their sentence , one year and a halfs-imprisonment , to suffer under the unnatural and destructive system of prison discipline , which is fast ruining their healths . That your memorialists believe that the Government to which you belong will not suffer a system to exist that is sacrificing the present and future bealths of prisoners confined for political offences ; a system abeut which there is something so outrageous to common humanity in the bare supposition of such cruelty , that your memorialists believe they have only to lay their case before the present Government , in order to secure for the said prisoners , if not an abreviatioa of Uu > u tuuu -at imprisonment , at least a relaxation of their prison treatment , or . what we yet most earnestly
petition for , a removal of the said Robert Peddie , William Brooks , and others , to some other places of confinement , where the horrors of the silent system are not Inflicted ; farther , your memorialists sheweth that the said Robert Peddie , William Brooks , and others , now suffering in Wakefleld House of Correction , were convicted ob the evidence of one James Harrison , that this said James Harrison was the chief instigator of the said conspiracy and riot , and admitted that he had received £ 80 from the authorities at Bradford , in his labour in this business—that the s * id James Harrison Was at the time a notorious informer against poor publicans , and continued to be such until the magistrates refused to take his evidence—that he has left his wife and family to the care of the parish , and is now in Preston Gaol , waiting his trial for horse stealing .
That your memorialists submit these facts to your Honour , in the hope that they may induce your Honour to recommend the cue of the said Robert Peddie , Wm . Brooks , and others to royal favour , they having been convicted on tie evidence of so tad a character as- the said James Harrison . And your memorialists will ever pray . Signed , On behalf of the meeting , ROBZBT DSMilM , Chairman . York . Sept 3 « th , 1841 .
BACTJP . —Hargraves , the Corn Law humbug , said that this place was one hundred years behind any other In point of civilisation , but had he said one hundred yeam before any other in point of tyranny , he would have said aright . But the men have been awakened to a sense of their duty , and are determined not to be trampled on any longer . There has been an Associa tion formed , and it consists of fifty members , although obIj began one week , and is nifhtiy increasing ; we have had an address from Messrs . Marsden and Tattersall , of Burnley , in the open air , which was well attended , and they expounded the principles of the Charter in a clear and manly style , which was listened to . with intense
interest The meeting w » a very quiet , with the exception of some interruption from a Blue Bottle , who u known in Bacup by the name of "Past Eleven , " " alias Little Bobby , " and two Cotton Lords , one of whom actually can neither read or write , &nd the other we pass by in silent contempt ; but if again they annoy us , we shall lay their names and character before the public . The meeting gave three cheers for Feargus O'Connor ; three cheers for the Charter ; and three efeeers for the speakers ; and then separated . Thus has the most tyrannical little village in England been croxen in upon by the perseverance of the working men . "—We have to acknowledge the receipt of ? i 3 d . from Rockdiffe calico block printers and a few other friends .

on the editor of the Weekly Dispatch for the paragraph at the head of Notice to Correspondents , headed Polities ! Blood Hounds , for his partial conduct in selecting such extracts from the sermon of Mr . Watkins , as best suited to the views of his own mind , to calumniate the Chartists generally as assassins of the deepest die ; and that ths said editor is deserving the censure of every honest and upright mind for the one-sided view which he has taken in the said paragraph contained in the Dispatch of Sunday , the 3 rd of October , and that we are determined to support ao other portion of the press but that which supports the rights and liberties of the industrious millions . "

He commenced by saying that the Charter must become the law of the land , to enable the poor oppressed working man to better bis condition , and render his home comfortable and happy . He siowad the . meeting , in a clear and forcible manner , the benefits to be derived from a democratic Government , based upon the
Drinciples of the People ' s Charter .

dering his respects to the friends who so kindly invited him all round the kingdom . We hope , for the future , that Friend O'Connor will think such men beueath his notice , for , rest assured , he is too closely entwined around the hearts of an enlightened people , that any attack which he or any of his party could attempt in order to sever him ftom thtm would prove fruitless . — Mr . Black lectured here on the 30 th ult , and although we h * d but ene hour ' s notice , the room was crowded . This is the first lecture given on Chartism here , except by our own members . Several of the middle class men were there , and were highly pleased with the discourse It was proposed that two lecturers be appointed for Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire , and that ear Asso ciation contribute their share ; on the show of hands being taken , the Chairman declared it unanimous .
SRO 6 HSDA . —We have seen a private letter from a good Chartist in Drogheda to Mr . Peter Hoey from which we give the following : — "I also want to know from you , as agent of the Northern Star , whether you can send me the Star as eaxly as Sunday morning ; for there are thirteen in number who wish to buy the paper , and give you the credit of Bending it , if you can let us have it by the time above-mentioned . We have received a good supply of Start this last fortnight , but still they are not half equal to the demand for them ; bo great has been the spread of Chartist principles since you left ; of course I mean the working classes—and some of those who were ready to knock
a man down for being a Cnartist a few weeks since . Many , indeed , are the conversions these last few days to Chartism , notwithstanding all the fearful opposition it has met with . And I have to inform you that there are two clubs more to be formed in other parts of the town , for the purpose of having the Slar on Sunday morning . The Tontine society , which Michael Crosby belongs to , called a general meeting of the society for the purpose of patting him oat , for the treasonable crime of reading the Star ; and after bringing all their powers to bear on him , they failed . We are preparing to send eighty names to be enrolled in the Dublin Universal Suffrage Association . "
PERTH- —Mr . J . B . O'Brien's release from Lancaster Castle was announced on Friday last , by the display of a considerable number of flags : and in the afternoon media * was Held in Cajasl Crescent , to congr&tulaU him on the event The evening was wet , and somewhat boisterous , and the meeting was held at an unusually early hour ; owing to this , and other concurring causes , it was but thinly attended . They agreed , however , to several resolutions , and an address was read , and unanimously approved of ; and a committee was appointed to forward it to Mr . O'Brien without delay . —rBeceived too late for our last . )
CARUSLE . —The Council of the Carlisle Radical Association held its usual weekly meeting , on Saturday evening last , when arrangements were entered into for the defence of William Blake , who stands charged with assaulting a policeman , during the late election fer the Borough . We mentioned this case a few weeks ago , and gave the substance of the evidence against Blake , as given before the magistrates at the Town Hall , and had thougkt , from the character of that evidence , that the prosecution would have been stayed . Indeed , the Mayor , John Dixoa , Esq , told a deputation , who waited upon him to make the necessary enquiry , that , except it was " a very flagrant case indeed , he would endeavour to stop the prosecution , as he thought there had been a sufficiency of such prosecutions ; and that he
would examine the depositions . " On the deputation calling again , they were astonished to find , that the magistrates who committed Blaks would not give way . so that the prosecution will go on at the forthcoming Sessions , which are to be held at Cockermouth , in the course of a fortnight The defence of Biake will cost upwards of five pounds—in addition to what has already been expended in the other cases—a sum not less * h * . n from thirty to forty pounds—all of which has been raised by penny subscriptions . The prosecutions will have cost the Borough i much larger nun—not less , we suppose , than one hundred pounds ! Thus has the poor been put to much expenee and inconvenience , and the borough to the expenditure of an enormous sum of
money , which has been tqaandered away in silly and uncalled-for prosecutions , with one exception . We would recommend the people to call upon some one of the Town Council to move for a return of all the expence * of the late prosecutions arising out of the borough election ; and thus show to the inhabitants how the funds of the town have been expended . Did these Whig borough magistrates act with the same rigour and caution at the county election when Sir Jamps Graham , the Home Secretary , was most shamefully treated ; when , as he retired from the hustings , a parcel of hired ruffians attacked him and his friends on their way to the Bush Inn , broke Sir James ' s umbrella over his head , ill-treated his son , and assaulted bis party with brickbats and other missiles ? Ne ! they
allowed all these gross outrages to pass over without the slightest attempt to bring the offenders to justice ! nay , we may go further and Bay , that , we were grieved to hear some of the Whig party rejoice at the ill-treatment Sir James had met with . Nor can we pass over the conduct of some of these same gentlemen , *^« evious to the passing of the Reform Bill . Aye ! these were the palmy days of Whig agitation , when neither life nor property was safe , when our present mayor ( not then so tenacious of our laws ) actually recommended the people at a public meeting , to pay no more taxes , bat to button up their breeches pockets—when our marketplace nightly glared with the flunea of torches , to exhibit to a gazing and heedless throng , the effigies of the Duke of Wellington , the bishops , Colonel Lowther and others , about to be set fire to . in the public
Marketplace , amidrt the maddening shouts of an infuriated and deluded crowd , and the heartless laughter of the entire Whig faction . This was conduct snfficiently disgraceful in itself ; but what will be thought of the party , when we state that some of the very Whig leaders not only countenanced such disorderly proceeding , but actually encouraged them , by subscribing money , and furnishing old clothes to fa bric&te the effigies , which previous to their being burst , were examined by them and admired for the likeness they bore to the originals ? One leading Whig , on seeing the procession which was headed by a placard , containing in large letters the alarming and eminous words " death to tha constitution , '' considered he could add to its brilliancy , and to accomplish this , he purchased a pint of turpentine , in which to steep the torches . Aye , aye ; we cannot but wmbember such things were . —Correspondent .
Contemplated Reception of Mb . Fzahgcs 0 'Co > 'KOR- —A motion was brought forward in the Council to the effect " That the Council use every exertion to give Mr . O Connor a hearty and resp « ctfal reception , when be visits Carlisle ; but owing to the depressed state of the funds , and William Blake having to be defended , they cannot enter into arrangements for an expensive demonstration , which may involve the association in a debt , which they will be unable to liquidate , owing to the great poverty of a majority of its members . " Every one present seemed to participate in the desire that every respect should be paid to Mr . O'Connor , for his great public services .
B LACK WOO O . —Revival of Chartism . —The good cause is still alive at Blackwood . We have , it is true , been very apathetic of late , but thanks to the Corn Law repealers , we are in a fair way of shaking off our indifference , and once more resuming our old position in the Chartist ranks , with the advantage , too , of having added considerably to our stock of experience , without , I trust , having lost any of that enthusiasm which characterised our movements in days gone by . A meeting had been convened by the Corn Law repealers , to be holden at Penmain Chapel , near Blackwood , on Saturday last , the 2 nd instant , to discuss the propriety of memorializing her Majesty upon the present distressed state of the country ; but upon its being whispered about that the Chartists were expected to
attend , the managers of the chapel , in their Christian liberality , would not permit the meeting to be held there ; but another chapel being soon procured , the business fef the meeting proceeded . Candour , however , demands that we should not attribute any of this illiberal feeling to Messrs . Jenkins and Ellis , the Rev . gentlemen who had been the means of getting up the meeting , and we feel Borry that gentlemen of such liberal opinions should content themselves with standing forward for asy thing short of the whole " rights of man . " The Rev . Mr . Ellis opened the proceedings with prayer . The Rev . gentleman then moved " That th * Rev . Mr . Jenkins , Fleur de Lis , do take the chair , " which having been seconded , was carried without opposition . The Rev . Gentleman proceeded to state the
objects for which the meeting was called together , and advocated , at some length , the plan for obtaining a repeal of the Corn Laws recommended by the conference lately held at Manchester ; he concluded by calling upon Mr . Ellis , Independent minister , Monythyslwn , to move the first resolution , which was to the following effect , — " That this meeting deeply feeling for the present distressed Btate of the country , through the operation of the Corn Laws , deem it of importance that a memorial be presented to the Queen , praying her not to prorogue Parliament until the question be fully discussed , and effectual measures adopted , for their abolition . " The resolution having been briefly seconded by Mr . R Davies , Blackwood , Mr . W . G . Daviea rose to move the following amendment : — " That this
meeting humbly , yet firmly , address her Majesty , praying her to exercise her prerogative by dissolving tbs Parliament mow sitting ; and that this meeting further implore her Majesty in her kindly feelings towards aa oppressed , afflicted , and immoderately-taxed people , that she will immediately dismiss her present Ministry , and call men to her councils who will propose to the new Parliament such measures as shall secure to the people a fall and fail representation is the legislature . The m » ver of the amendment was f opinion that the com monopoly was a gnat injustice , but it was not the greatest injustice . There was another injustice as great , say , greater , and more monstrous
than that ; he meant that monopoly which gave to a section of the community the power of disposing of the means , and even the lives of the majority . Sorely , the men without votes had so hand in producing the present frightful state of society . The privileged classes had had it all to themselves . Now that they had proved their incompeteacy to govern , let others be called in to assist He then proceeded to shew what class law-making had done for them ; how it had expended thousands of millions of the people's money in crusades against humanity ' s rights . He concluded with Feargus O'Connor ' s motto , "Universal Suffrage and bo Surrender . '' Mr . W . Miles , of Merthyr , seconded

the amendment in Welsh , and brought forward some statistical facts connected with the price of corn before and since the passing of the corn tax . He then referred to the factory system , and the application of steam power to manufactures , showing that machinery had oat-marched law making . Sir Arthur O'Davies , Woodfield , supported the amendment He was for teaching the people , and giving them opportunities of obtaining all sorts ef knowledge , but , above all , he was for teaching them a knowledge of their rights . He was for giving the people power to do away with all bad laws ; but he was for wasting no more time wits
patching and propping up . He concluded by calling upon the meeting to press the amendment The amendment was put to the meeting , when the Chairman , after having put the resolution , declared the amendment to be carried . Sir A . O'Davies then moved , That the Chairman be requested to draw up and sign an address to her Majesty , embodying the sentiments contained in the amendment , and that the address be forwarded to Lord Brougham for presentation . Mr . E . Rees , of Merthyr , then addressed the meeting briefly in Welsh , and concluded by seconding Mr . Davies's resolution . A vate of thanks having been carried to the Chairman , the meeting separated .
MIDDLESBRO . —A delegate meeting will be held here on Sunday , the 10 th of October , when delegates are expected from Stockton , Darlington , Yarm , Hartlepool , Stokesley , and other places , for the purpose of making permanent arrangements for the proper organization of the above mentioned places , and also to consider what would be the most efficient plan of agitating the above named districts in favour of the People ' s Charter . The meeting will take place at two o ' clock in the afternoon * at the Working Men ' s Reading Room , 15 , Newcastle-row .
SELBY .... On Friday evening , Mr . Skevington , the East-Riding Missionary , visited this town according to announcement in the Star of last week , and delivered a splendid lecture in the New Victoria Room , which had been engaged for the occasion . The room was well filled with a very respectable . and orderly company , which consisted chiefly of Mr . O'Connor's faithful " lads , " namely , the blistered hands and true hearts . There were several middle-class men present , and a fair portion of the fair Bex , to whom Mr . S . gave some very good hints , which is to be hoped will not be lost Bight of by them . To attempt to give even a mere outline of his talented , able and instructive oration would be folly indeed suffice it to say , that the worthy gentleman gave universal satisfaction to all present , and at the close , a subscription was entered into towards defraying the expences of the room , when a handsome sum was raised . Chartism is increasing in and around this place . Every meeting night brings new members .
ASHTON TJNDER-LYNE . —James BroNTBRRE O'Brien , Esq— On Saturday last this indefatigable , talented , and persecuted gentleman , visited Ashton by invitation , and delivered a pleasing and soul stirring lecture , to a crowded and attentive audience . On lir . O'Brien making his appearance he was greeted by long and loud continued cheering and clapping of hands . Mr . O'Brien spoke for three hours and was cheered throughout .
