      MESSRS . CROW AND TYRELL beg to call the attention of the Chartist Public to the BEVERAGE prepared by them , as a Cheap and Wholesome substitute for Taxed Coffee . Its natritions qualities are equalled by none in the Market ; while its mode of Preparation renders it vastly superior to the Trash offered for Sale by those who regard not the health of the Consumer . As a means of supporting the " Executive Committee of the National Charter Association , " and as a means of crippling the Governmental Exchequer , it may be made a ready and powerful weapon in the hands of the Sons of Toil . A sing le Trial will prove its superiority over other Preparations of like pretensions . Prepared and Sold by the Proprietors , 81 , Belgrave Gate , Leicester . The Proprietors have great pleasure in announcing that Mr . J . HOBSON , Publisher of the Northern Star , has become General Wholesale Agent for the Chartist Breakfast Powder , for the District of Yorkshire . He has now a large quantity in Stock , both at Leeds and at Huddersfield , from which he is authorised to supply the Associations and other Retail Yendors at the same Prices as the Proprietors themselves . Orders addressed to him will meet with prompt Attention .

SIR , —The wife of a person residing in St . John ' s Green , in this plaoe , came to my shop a little time since , for a box of your pills fer her husband .

I hare seen the husband since ( yesterday , May 2 nd , 1842 ) , and he told me the same exactly , and moreover says , he never takes any other medicine . . This I can assure you , is not a solitary instance . I invariably find them do good whenever I have sold them . The parties say they shall be happy to give any information in their power , as public benefit .

      and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . Ic is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with tbe diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization .

The' fact is , however , predjudice is fast giving way , aa it always must where the pills are tried . A few oases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .

      precedence cf anything the delegates elected at this meeting may have to lay before our trades' - meetings , and under no pretence shall this line of conduct be deviated from . * Mr . Lsngwith seconded the resolution , It never was their i&tenticn to amalgamate the Chartist maetinjj with their trades * business . It might not be prudent that the tra&e society should be mixed up with Chartist proceedings , bu t every m embe r o f their Union ought also to be a member of the National Charter Association . Politics robbed them of 17 s . ffd . out of every £ l . and yet it was said they ought not to dabble in politics but unless they did dabble in polit ' cj they would never be " able to prevent this robbery . Those who did dabble in politics lived on the fraita of their labour , wkile those who did not were in sach a state of destitution as caused him to

      blush with shame that they had not looked more to their own interest . In carrying out this object , they meant to keep it distinct from tha trade business on meeting night *; when business was concluded , they could vote the . Chairman out of the chair , and propose another for Chartist proceedings . Mr . Torrena did not wish to oppose the proceedings , b u t he wanted to know Then be was a Chartist and when a snob ; if he wa > taken prisoner after his trade business waa concluded for a Chartist , what would become of him . As a mob , he was pleased to ¦ ee the liberality which had characterised th « lr proceeding ! , bat he ^ ould iri « h the Chartists to meet at a different time and place from the trades meetings ] Their Trade * Union m Illegal enough it present , and the ; mre unpopular eooogn with the masters , vnthout mak isxtbennon ao . Tfcw made a stand at present ,

      thoagh ha admitted it vai a " very poor oae ; but If they took this itep they voold be cut ap root and branch They could aa veil appropriate another night to their Chartist meeting . Hr . M'Carthr stated , he bad no objection to * "g on another night , but this shewed the Ttnmi—ity of tfrrf * being in possession of that power which woold enable them to def y their me te r ' s attempt to tyrannise . Mr . Jones concurred in Che previous reaolnBons ; they were characterised by great liberality bit be knew that to hold the Chartist meeting in the tame room would destroy both . He was cure that at two out of the three houses of meeting tiey would sot be allowed to meet , and if they were not prepared ¦ with other places it would be -wrong to adept the resolution , he should more the folloiring aotatidment : — " That the business of the trade be settled at a differen time and placs to Chartism .
