CORNS AND BUNIONS . PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND , Patronised by the Royal Family and Nobility , IS a sure aud speedy cure for those severe , annoyances , without " causing the least pain or inconvenience . Unlike all other remedies for Corns , its operation is such as to render the Cutting of Corns altogether unnecessary ; indeed , we may say , the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dangerous , and has been frequently attended with lamentable consequences , besides its liability to increase their growth ; it adheres with the most gentle pressure , producing an instant and delightful relief from torture , and , with perseverance in its application , entirely eradicates the most inveterate Corns and Bunions . Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence .

London. Cm Chab.Tist Iiaij..—Mr. Cooper'...
LONDON . Cm Chab . tist IIaij .. —Mr . Cooper ' s concluding lecture of his first series , last Sunday evening , was , as usual , well attended , though a considerable number of his customary hearers left the hall , a few minutes before eight , to listen to the eloquent Mr . Fox , who was lecturing in the National lialJ ; Holborn , on " The Purgatory of Suicides . " Mr . Cuffay , as chairman , after one of the " People-Songs" had been sung , introduced the subject of the evening ' s discourse , and Mr . Cooper immediately commenced a brief narrative oF the life of Byron , —passing to a a rapid review ofhis poetry ; passages from " Ohilde Harold , " " The Siege of Corinth , " "Don Juan , "
and " The Vision ot Judgment" _were selected as examples of his power : some of these the lecturer read , and some he recited . The specimens from " The Vision of Judgment , " drew instant responses from the audience . . The celebrated stanzas , " Fare thee well , and if for ever , " produced a powerful impression , not a few of the fairer portioii of the audience shedding _teara while tlie speaker rehearsed them . Mr . C . closed his theme with a few noble extracts from Mr .-Carlyle ' s 'f . Past and Present , " some general remarks on the literature o £ the age , and by an impassioned exhortation to all who felt . an . interest in human progress to unite in an ' energetic struggle for the complete triumph of right .
DUNDEE . Mr . _M'Giutu delivered two eloquent and instructive lectures here on Monday and Tuesday , the 20 th and 21 st ult . Mr . Robert Kidd occupied the chair on the first evening , and Mr . John M'Crae on the second . The subjects were— " The Land—its capabilities , and the means of obtaining it ; " and , " The agencies which impoverish the industrious community , and the means of their removal . " The lecturer stated two important facts , which the working classes would do well to treasure carefully in tlieir niinds : first , that , according to a report of . a committee of the House of Commons , there are 6 ? millions of ' acres of cultivable land in this country , which , upon the very low estimate of two persons to each acre , would support comfortably a population of 134 millions ; and , secondly , the profitmongers
actually absorb wealth to the value of _£ 450 , 000 , 000 sterling , or upwards bf one-half of the whole produce of the country , supposing , according to M'Queen , the annual income of the kingdom to be £ 820 , 000 , 000 or £ 830 , 000 , 000 sterling . This last fact incontestibly proves the necessity of proper laws , of distribution , without which the productive classes must go on , adding continually to the wealth of the country , while at the same time they become poorer and poorer . ' At the conclusion of the lectures some objections were urged , and questions asked , which were answered to the apparent satisfaction of the audience , if not to the objectors themselves . As some have expressed a desire to join the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , intimation is hereby given that a preliminary meeting will be held in the Association Room , Fullar ' s-close , Murraygate , on . Monday , November the 10 th , at eight o ' clock in the evening .
ARBROATH . ' . _Lkciuke . — On Wednesday ,- . and Thursday Mr . M'Grath lectured , in the Poople ' s-hall ; to respectable audiences , on the Land arid the rights of labour generally . The lecturer ' s exposition of the constitution ofthe Land Society _^ and its proposed operations _EllVC unqualified satisfaction . A small branch ol * the Society is organised , which , judging from the favourable impression made by the lectures , has every prospect , of doing well .

MR . CLARK'S TOUR . To the Chariisi Body . —Friends , —Nothing can be more cheering than thc progress which our Land plan is making iu the country , I find it warmly re . ccived wherever I go , especially in the country vil . lages , where most ofthe inhabitants have small plots of ground , and consequently understand its value . The sceptics arc only to be found amongst those who are profoundly ignorant upon the subject . When I was at Worcester , last week , I heard ofa person who occupies two acres of land at a short distance from the town ; he pays a high rent for it , employs labour to cultivate it , keeps a horse and cart , and mainta ins a large family in comfort and independence , and Jiaj nothing but the two acres of land to depend upon This 1 have upon thc authority of thc man ' s ow n son . Somo of our friends aro afraid thai a mau with , a family would starve upon two acres of ground . I have no such fear . I told you _lagf
week how much the farmers dreaded the s _* maH farm system , and I assure' you that their fears have not been at all lessened by the establishment of our society . You would be surprised at the sensatiou which the agitation of this question has created in remote country districts , lt is my firm conviction that if we had tlie rules of our society enrolled under Act of Parliament , and proper means were taken to make the thing known in the agricultural districts , that we should , in thc course of a short time , have three agricultural _labuurera in the society for one manufacturing operative . But we must first get the rules enrolled , which must be done if possible . Some object to the enrolment , but I cannot see why ; at least , I cannot see what harm the enrolment would do- but , on the contrary , I feel fully persuaded that it would be productive of incalculable good . I see that the men of Manchester have decided iu favour of this step , and I hope that tlieir example will be followed throughout the country .
CHELTENHAM . On Monday , the 20 th inst ., 1 left Bristol for the above place , and in thc evening had an excellent meeting in a school-room adjoining an Unitarian chapel . Mr . Leach , a working man , was called io the chair . The subject of the lecture was , " The Land , and how to get it . " After explaining how the aristocracy of the world became possessed of the land , and proving the peoples' right to it , I explained the nature aud objects of OUT society , which seemed to give general satisfaction . Some stupid fellow got up at the close and put some very silly questions he was well laughed at for his pains . Mr . _Millsoni made somo excellent remarks in favour of the small farm system , quoting the authority of parliamentary documents in support of his positions . Mr . M . was attentively listened to ; and , after he had spoken , a quantity of rules were disposed of , and the meeting broke up . Oa the following day ( Tuesday ) , I procecded to r
BATH , where I had a very good meeting at night . The veteran patriot , Mr . Thomas Bolweli , was unanimously chosen to preside ; and , after a sensible speech from him , 1 was introduced , and spoke about an hour and a half in elucidation of the Land plan , and the benefits likely to accrue from its adoption by the working classes . I invited discussion , as is _my usual practice , but the value of the Laud is SO apparent , that few have the hardihood to question it ; and as to the plan itself , it is so simple and explicit , that the only objection to it seems to be that it is too good . After the meeting had concluded I retired with the Messrs . Bolweli , and had also the company of two young men who are at present engaged as small farmers , and had the pleasure of having their approval of all that I had advanced on the
caDabililies of the soil . They both gave it as their opinion that a man with a family , however large , could , with moderate industry , make a very comfortable living from two acres of ground of an average quality . They had both read Mr . O'Connor ' s work on small farms , and both agreed with him generally ; but neither of them approved of his mode of stallfeeding cows . They both contended that cows fed upon grass would give much better milk than cows fed upon the diet recommended by Mr . O'Connor , though his mode of feeding would produce the greatest quantity , but the quality would be inferior . 1 related what 1 had read of the experiments of Mr . Thornton , of Huddersfield , and what I had seen at Mr . Ardill ' s , at Leeds ; but yet they seemed fully Impressed with the belief that they were right , and Mr . O'Connor wrong . The next day ( Wednesday ) I went to
TROWBRIDGE , a town in Wiltshire , containing a population of about twenty thousand peoplo , all engaged in the manufactory of woollen cloths . _Employment , I learned , was brisk amongst them ; but the weavers expected to experience serious alterations in their work , owing to an improved loom which has been lately introduced amongst them , by which two pieces can be woven together—and when tliis loom becomes generally used , double the number of pieces will be made—and unless a double sale can be effected for the manufactured article , a great number of weavers will be thrown out of employment . The price paid tor weaving a single piece is tcnpencohali ' -penm _* , and two similar pieces , in the double loomone sliilling
, and threepence-halfpenny . The weavers have formed a union , aboutninetyof _themLavejomed , and pay one halfpenny a week into a fund , but for what purpose I could not learn . The sura is so exceedingly small , that I do not see what thev * can do with it . I advised them to join the National Union . I have been frequently asked about a journal which the Trades' Executive talked of publishing , and where it could bo had . 1 could not give a satisfactory answer , but perhaps Mr . Hobson can . A meeting was announced to take place at eight o'clock , in a large room in the Mavket-pl & _c-j * , it wia a bumper The place was crammed full , as' well as the avenue
leading up to it . Mr . Stephens , a highly intelligent young man , was chosen to preside , and conducted the business of the meeting most satisfactorily . I explained the nature and objects of our Land movement , showed how the surplus labour in the market enabled competing capitalists to reduce the wages of the working man , aud the profits of the shopkeeper . Numbers of tho middle class were present , and , I was afterwards informed , expressed themselves in favour of the movement . I enrolled several members , and several others pledged themselves to join . I was highly delighted at thc spirit manifested by the men of Trowbridge .
THE POTATO CROP . The failure of tho potato crop will cause _xuvn -tomany- and serious loss to all concerned . Every day brings fresh tidings of wide-spread rot . I have made it my business to enquire of all whom I come in contact with , and learn with regret that the disease is universal . The person who drove me from Trowbridge to Bradford , informed me that a neighbour of his had " gotin" twonty-fivc sacks , whicli , at the time , appeared quite free from the prevalent misfortune _, fie looked upon them as a prize . About a week afterwards ,-he emptied them out again , and to his surprise , and dismay found that out of the
twenty-five sacks , he had only three that were fit lor the use even of pigs . Aridther person , one of the members of our Land Society , residing near Bath , has upwards of one-hundred andfifty sacks rotten , i- \ , told - ine that he . expected most of the others which hehad by him would turn out the same way . Great distress is expected to be'tho result amongst the agricultural labourers . Some landlords are . returning part of the rents to thcirpoorer tenants who have had bad potato crops . _Eiirl Ducie , a first-rate practical agriculturist , has , I understand , returned two-thirds of the rents paid by his tenants . This is an example worthy of imitation . —Yours , truly , Bristol , Tuesday . Thomas Claiik .

Hurst for his able lecture . While the meeting was separating , the singers sung the _3-Jrd hymn , and agreed to meet next Sundav afternoon , at two o clock .
