We have no hesitation , however , in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a PARENT , a PRECEPTOR , or a CLERGYMAN . The PARENT , who beholds his beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature grave , in consequence of some disease , which , for want of a careful investigation of its real cause , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both

The PRECEPTOR , also , who ^ holds temporarily , at least the relation and responsibility of a parent , will , by persuing this work , be directed , and very much assisted in investigation and detecting the too often concealed practices so . often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be . compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time .

Persona of a FULL HABIT , who are subject to head-acho , giddiness , drowsiness , and singing in the ears , arising from too great a flow of blood to the head , should never be without them , as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use . FQR FEMALES these Pills are most truly excellent , removing all obstructions ; the distressing head-ache so very prevalent with the sex ; depression of spirits , dulness of sight , nervous affections , blotches , pimples , and sallowness of the skin , and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion . As a pleasant , safe , easy aperient , they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect , and require no constraint of diet or confinement during their use . And for ELDERLY PEOPLE they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hitherto prepared .

Mr . Cuxmi > g said thit he liked to hear this senti-¦* ent He liked it because it was one of the many symptoms of human progression . He liked it because it wu gall and wormwood to tax eaters , and such as Irre cpon the labour of others .

DURHAM MISSIONARY TpIiR , v ' ETJWDERLAND . —Two lectures ! •»«* Seiivetod In the Co-oper&tiTe Hall , Lambton-str e « t , < &i Smdat and Tuesday evening , the iikfuxil&tt xtestuVto atteott «» and respectable andien « s , by J I& Deegan , ~ ti » . Missionary for Durham . The subjer Jt of Tuesday evening ' s lecture was the "Poor Laws , " to which Mr . Deegan begged to direct the serious ar ^ d especial attention of his anditors . To have a sett ! jed , legal , ar 6 permanent provision for the poor , was a matter « f the , gr « atest importance , especially to tt > . ow who had to labour for their daily bread . Our Catholic forefathers humaaely provided ftr the indigent , r ^ ecessitouB , innm ) , sad aged members of tbe community , by appropriating a portion of the tithes for their relief and sustenance . The . Mirror of Justice , " a " learned and invaluable -work
, written before the peri od of the Konum Conquest , declares that it was one of the first constitutions of the ancient kings , that the poor were to be maintained by parsons , by rectors of Vne church , and by the parishtoaers , bo that none at them , die for want of sustenance ; and ubsenaently tm the oonqueet , the caaons of the church direct tbatfbe poor be sustained by th ) tithes , to one * third of -wkacH they were of right entitled . Thus , w « see tittt , pifor to tbe invasion of our country by tbe Konaam . ' « onqaoon , or , more appropriately , the Korman pluderers , robbers , and murderers , onr ancient kings , in their ordinances , attended to the wants of their ecesStoas subjects . How much better it would be far « odtety , if modem kings and queens bestowed a portion of their time , and devated part of their
eaormoos Ji » ome 8 in making their subjects happy , and in alleviating fee misery of their people . Our kings and queens act as if they were invested with royalty for no other purpose than to enjoy its Inordinate reTenues ¦ , to pass their days in revelry and extravagance ; to devoor the substance of the poor and the needy ; the portion of the widew and the orphan . They deemed the non-performance of the duties imposed upon them , by their high station in society , as of no consequence ; aad , 'henoe , the poor were allowed to perish of famine , to expire by thousands , to be hurried to a premature grave , though heaven had been most munificent in its bounties , and had provided a splendid and sumptuous repast , at which all bad a right to participate . The rich tell us that we have no right to parochial relief ;
that we ought to be very grateful when they give us the smallest pittance ; that we should view it as charity , and not in the light of an undeniable claim which we have npon society by its original constitution , and which is agreeable to the laws of nature , and the eternal and immutable principles of Christianity . Bbckstone , in the first book and first chapter of his Commentaries on the Laws of England , tells us , that , " The law not only regards life and member , and protects every man in the enjoyment of them , but also furnishes him with everything necessary for their support For there is no man so indigent and wretched but he may demand a supply sufficient for all tbe necessaries of life , from the more opulent part of tbe community , by means of the several statutes enacted
for the relief of the poor ; a humane provision , dictated by the principles of society . " Here we have it on the word of Blaekstone , an incontrovertible authority , that the principles of society dictate that the indigent , infirm , and aged may demand an arnpVe supply of tbe necessaries of life from the wealthy portion of the community , and that numerous statutes have been enacted to afford them the means of enforcing their demands . In defiance of reason , justice , humanity , and religion , we find men so brutal , inhuman , and cold-blooded—so destitute of every sympathetic emotion—89 indifferent to the welfare of their fellowcreatures—so unmindful of the wretchedness and misery of the powr , as t * declare that " All legal prevision for the poor , in whatsoever shape , and under
whatsoever name , is wrong ; " and that " the poor have no right to relief , other than what is g + ren by Act of Parliament , " and , of course , that which the Parliament can grre , the Parliament san take away . My friends , Parliament cannot destroy the right of the poor to a maintenance from the land ; it cannot abrogate their claims upon society ; it cannot abolish the eternal law of nature ; which law , coeval with mankind ,. and dictated by God himself , is binding over all the globe , in all countries and at an times . It cannot invalidate the principles and precepts of religion , which enjoin us to feed the hungry , give drink to the thirsty , and clothe the naked . ~ So earthly power can annul or dispense with the laws imposed upoa man and upon society by the Sovereign Lord of alL " Whatever the Legislature doth shall be
hoi den for naught whenever it shall enact ( hat which is contrary to the rights of nature , or the principles of the Constitution . " To submit to earthly laws In violation of the laws ' of onr Creator , would be a dereliction of duty , which nothing but complete infirmity of body or mind can justify or extenuate . As is justly observed by Plato , God has placed ns in a post that we are not to quit without Sis permission . Existence is the donation of a Creator , all-just and all-wise , who has placed us in the world to observe his precepts , by the cultivation and active employment of the abilities he has bestowed upon us : and He has so ordained it . that the laws of sociability to which we are subjected eannot be completely obeyed , unless each individual employs his physical and mental powers to preserve
and prolong bis existence ; whilst his continual endeavours ought to be for self-improvement Neglect of self-preservation is a crime against our Creator , as well as against our fellow-creatures : and , says Puffendorf ; it is not possible to conceive that human society can hold together , if the preservation of the individuals composing that society shall be regarded and treated as a matter of indifference . Founded , then , upon the fundamental principles of society , and upon the immutable law of nature , is the right of all to maintenance and protection in the land in which God has placed them , as long as . food and < raiment and shelter can be found . Those social regulations which place in abeyance the right of nature were consented to , under a supposition and
expectation that such individuals of the community would benefit by the change ; that the public weal weuld be advanced ; and Tinder the indispensable condition , that every one should be assured of , at the least , the means of subsistence . Otherwise , tae ehange must have been illusive , obnoxious to reason and tquity , since it would be the resigning of positive rights , and a certain maintenance fer camparative impotence and possible destitution ; it would be the sacrifice of a greater for a leaser good , and thus reverse the first principle of the social contract—the indispensable , the fundamental condition of that contract . Where , then , is the foundation for that monstrous assertion , that the poor have no right to relief except that which the Parliament confers , and which , consequently , can be taken from
them whenever the Parliament chooses ? Where shall "we find language sufficiently strong to condemn the baseness and depravity of men like parson Malthus , w'ko—in defiance of good policy and of right reason ; in defiance of the first principle of justice and humanity ; in defiance of the laws ef England , the laws of nature , and of God—inculcate the damnable doctrine that tba poor should be rigidly denied all parish assistance , and be told that tho laws of nature had doomed Mm and his family to starve ; and that the poor have no right to the smallest portion of food ; and , in fact , have no business to be where they are . Who , like the ind- - lent , effeminate , debauched , but courtly Melbourne , would recommend to the Poor Law Commissioners , as
a general rule , that not only should not the inmates of a workhouse be allowed to go out on Sunday , but that they should not be allowed to go out at all ? Who would imprison the poor , sentence them to the rigours of the treadmill , silenca their complaints , cruelly and barbarously separate them , destroying all endearing family connections , the only felicity or the indigent ? Who would condemn the labouring portion of the community , when out of employment , when visited with sickness or disease , or when incapacitated by extreme old age , from earning the means of subsistence , to the horrors of want , the pangs of starvation , although the Creator , in his beneficence , has filled the world with plenteousness for the sustenance and comfort of all , no matter how great the population may be whom he sends into it »
Who would discard the voice of reason , which tells us that all men have a right to their subsistence , and consequently , to meat and drink , and such other things as nat « re affords for their preservation ? We know that God hath not left one man so much te the mercy of anoth « r , that he may starve him if he please ; God , the Lord and father of all , has given no one of his children such a property in his peculiar portion of the things of this world , but that he has given his needy brother a right to the surplusage of his goods , to that it cannot be denied him . Who would nullify the obligations of the state , -which , according to Montesquieu , owes to every one proper nourishment , convenient clothing , and a kind of life not incompatible with health » Who disregard the law of nature , which
is an eternal rale to all men , to legislators as well as to others ? tbe pre-eminence and immutability of which law are thas forcibly asserted by Cicero : — " This law cannot be abrogated in whole or in part , nor can It be , in the slightest degree , impaired ; neither by the senate nor the whole people . It requires not an exposition : it is self-explanatory , it is not one thing at Rome , another at Athens ; one thing now , another hereafter . It is one , eternal , and immutable : obligatory upon all , in every time and place ; since God , who is its author , expounder , and publisher , is tbe Lord of alL Whoever , therefore , violates this law , offends against himself , and is a eontemner of human nature . " Let me ask you a few simple and plain question *
Have you all « proper nourishme * t" and " convenient elothing ? " Are you fed in great abundance with all sorts of flesh sad fish ; or are there not thousands who never taste either ? Are you clothed ia good woollens , every one according to his rank , sad have you ail thisgs that conduce to make life easy aad happy ? The answer must be in the negative . The hard-working and ixdnstrioos band-loom weaver has to live upon the coarsest and scantiest tare—flesh or fish scarcely ever find a place on his table—potatoes and oatmeal constitute his principal food , and of them he has not sufficient . These are not unwarrantable assertions ; they are capable of indubitable and irrefragable proof . A Committee of the House of Commons reported , in 1834 , " That the Bufferings of the hand-loom weavers
are not only not exaggerated , but they have for many years coctinued to an extent aad intensity scarcely to be credited or conceived ; and have been bome with a degree of patience unexampled . " Yes , we have borne onr sufferings too patiently ; onr conduct has been " unexampled" indeed : 800 , 000 of our fellow-labonrers have had to subsist upon wages which gives them , upon

potatoes . They bleed the cattle , and eat the boiled blood . " There ! what think you of tbe above description of thousands' of the "finest peasantry" In the world ? And think you such horrible things would have been tolerated had , they an efficient Poor Law , properly administered , in the spirit of generosity and justice f had they tbe right of enforcing their inherent claim to subsistence from the land in which God had placed them ? We cannot suppress our feelings of honest Indignation against the fiendish monsters , who thus inhumanly treat the poor , and who refuse to give them any relief , except qn condition that they allow themselves to be immured in their heMahbastiles ; husband to be separated from wife , and child to be torn from its mother ' s bosom , indirect and flagrant
violation of the express commands of Heaven : and the lawB of nature and of God . . Listen te the language of the starving paupers of Bledlow , in Buckinghamshire ; " The magistrates tell us they can do nothing ; the overseers tell us they can do nothing ; and we believe them ; we know not where to apply for relief . We have looked out for work in vain ; we have gone here and there , and can find none . But we must live . If we would consent to be starved ourselves , we must not let our wives and children starve ; this would not be right We , therefore , humbly entreat that you will visit our parish , and that , without delay ; for hunger , cold , and want , will not admit of delay ; and we implore you to judge , as between man and man , and as between yourselves and God , whether
we do not require and deserve relief . " Such is the deplorable condition of our fellaw-beings , in enlightened , civilised , and Christian England ; wandering in quest of food ; searching , In Tain , for employment ; compelled to " humbly entreat" a visit and examination from the Somerset-house kings , with their £ 2 , 000 a year each ; their penny-a-line secretary , with £ 1 , 200 per annum , and their batch of assistant secretaries and clerks . Those individuals were fattening , upon tho portion of the necessitous ; they deprived the poor of the bread of life , and were , in the words of Solomon , " Men of blood . " Let the clergy attend to the words of Eoaefeias , "If thou dost possess anything more than extreme necessity doth require , aad do not help the needy , thou art a thief and a robber . " In the language of Quarles , " Not to give to the p » or is to take from him : net to
feed the hungry , is , to the utmost of thy power , to kill him . To avoid both sacrilege and murder be charitable . " And Maimtmides further observes , that " Whoever seetb , the poor asking alms , and shutteth his eyes against him , and doth not relieve him , transgresseth the negative precept ; for it is written thou shalt not harden thine heart , nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother . " Let . us labour , then , zealously and faithfully for the . Peoples Charter . It is the only remedy for our grievanoee . We , cannot protect the poor till wo obtain the power of making the Uwb . Then we can do justice to all men . Then will the seedy -portion of . oar-brethren be humanely and re . iigkmsiy treated .

DROYIStJfiW . —Pursuant to announcement in the Star , Mr . Griffin deftvered a lecture to the people of this place on Saforday evening on teetotaUsm , showing it to be the best means- ' of reforming tb * 4 raakar 4 , and of preserving the moderate drinker Mkewise ; that drunkenness was ^ e of the greatest evils to the nation , morally , physically , " religiously , and politically ; and that therefore it w-to ttie- duty of « v * ry true lover of his spedes to abstain ! not bnjy for his own sake , bat for his feUo ^ ertatores * geStihiny ; atid concluded with calling upon ' the people , and teetotallers particularly to assist in obtaining the Charter . He stated , that as the vice of drunkenness was one of the great curses of this country , a House' chosen by Universal Suffrage would take the most deeiSed step * to pot an end to the many temptations which lead men into such a snare . After the lecture , Mr . Thomasson moved the following resolution , which was Branded by Mr . Mahan , and carried unanimously : —" That the lecturer has shown that habits of intoxication have been
the prolific Murce of many of our miseries , both personal and national ; and that tbe teetotal principle acted upon by the people would produce a number of advantages , and lessen many of their miseries . While the toUl abstainers consider this admirable principle as calculated to elevate the human character , both personally and nationally , too little has been said about its conferring a fitness for tbe exercise of political power . This nuwting considers it not only tbe duty of abstainers to extend habits of sobriety , but to use their influence in getting for their fellow-countrymen the right of Suffrage , as defined in tbe People ' s Charter . " A vote of tbauks was given to the Lecturer , to the mover and seconder of the resolution , and likewise to the Chairman ; and tbe meeting broke up highly delighted with the entertainment of the evening .
BOliTON . —Though nothing of our doings has publicly appeared tor some time , yet have we not been idle . Faith in tho soundness of ChartiBt principles is strong , and deep-rooted are the convictions of all the working men of the integrity and determination of O'Connor , O'Brien . M .-Douall , Collins , &c , die , to stand by the people until those principles become the law of the land . With regret and disgust the Caartists of this town have aeen the defection of a few of tbe leaders U ) of the great cause—yet are they undismayedj even though the Warden of this garrison abandoned his " post—still are they strong and united . In fact , although ' the Russophobians sent a scoutiug party ia this town , they have been unable to withdraw-.-a second
mercenary from the ranks of Chartism . About three weeks ago , Mr . Lsecb , of Manchester , visited this town , and received a most cordial welcome from the Chartists in the theatre . He addressed them for nearly two hours , in a very eloquent manner , on the injuries done to the working people by class-legislation and the avarice of capitalists . At the cpuclutsion of his lecture , a memorial to the Home Secretary , on behalf of Robert Peddie , was agreed to . Ihe memorial , signed by the Chairman , has since been transmitted to the Home Office , and an answer returned tothe effect , that Peddie was undergoing a just sentence ; that the term of hie imprisonment would uot be abridged ; but that care . for his health
should be taken . Heddie is induced to a breach of the law of which he is partially ignorant , by a Government-spy—a ruffian , paid for the purpose of entrapping meu . He is sentenced to three years of imprisonment and hard labour , no part of which will be remitted . He is a working man . The Hon . air . Plunkett , son of a high legal functionary , well acquainted with the law , wiliully commits an outrageous breach of the law . He is sentenced to one year ' s confiaemeut with indulgeaciea , aad after transgressing every rule of the prison discipline , he is liberated when only one-half of his term , of imprisonment has expired ! He is an aristocrat . Evenhanded justice , how art thou outraged' Here is another argument in favour of Universal Suffrage .
STOCKPOiVT . —Mr . Joseph Linney addressed the Radicals of Stockport . on Sunday night , in the Asociation-room , Bomber ' s-brow . He dwelt at some length on the oppressions of the system ; the doings of a brick and mortar constituency , and depicted in glowing terms the miseries endured by the skilly-fed * riiza . as of this country . He condemned in just aad unmeasured terms , the rapacity of the cottoaocracy in reducing the already too small wages of every operative in fhe cotton trade , and showed that sued would be tbe case as long as one class were lawmakers for the other . A vote of thanks was given to Mr . Liuney for bis services on the occasion .
QO £ ENSH £ iU > . —It was announced that Messrs . Gaukrodger and Robinson , from Halifax , would deliver two sermons in Roundhill Chapel , for the benefit of the incarcerated Chartists , but in consequence of other engagements they were unable to attend . Mr . J . Arran , from Bradford , therefore , delivered two impressive sermons , in which he dwelt on the hypocrisy of those who profess to love their neighbours as themselves , and yet refuse them the common right of citizens . He concluded by exhorting his bearers to render every possible support to those now suffering imprisonment for the advocacy of the rights of die people . The collections amounted to the sum of £ 1 10 s .
