VALUABLE WOBK 8 . Just published , price 2 a . 12 mo . bound in cloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the atudj ; of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this Work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all ^ hose hair's-breadth distinctiofls and , unneces sary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be aseful 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 ion 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 Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearl y as it understands that two and two make four . . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better than aheap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Uss of this Book and its accompanying Exorcises , any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any oi the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Selected from u host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the public estimation in which this Work Is holden : — "Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory &a tasks , he maintains thai the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . . , It is but justice to him to Bay that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure of the English language than can be found in some very elaborate works . "—Literary Gazette . Also , Price One Shilling , bound in Cloth , PROGRESSIVE EXERCISES , Selected from' the best English Authors , and so arranged as to accord with the Progressive Lessons in the foregoing Work , BV WM . HILL . Also , Price Four pence , THE GRAMMATICAL TEXT BOOK , for the use of Schools ; in which the bare naked principles of Grammar , expressed as concisely as possible , are exhibited for the memory .

The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive . observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delnsive habit , all its attendant sympathies anddangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions tor the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills . ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . fid ., and Us . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price 11 s . and 33 s . per bojttle ) and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS . Prioe 2 a . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Us . per Bos , 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 Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Striotures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all 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 cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . 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 mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder wo have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . In tli 3 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 improperly treated , a mere local 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 proBpeots and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own natare , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of ' Uterate men ; who , by the use of thai deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulcerations , blotches on tho head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in tho ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sore throat , diseased nose , with nootural 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 . These Pills are mild and effectual in their operation , without mercury , or mineral , ami require no restraint in diet , loss of time , or hindrance from business : possessing the power of eradicating every symptom of the disease in its worst stage , without tho least exposure to the patient ; they are particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions of a parent are the source of vexatiou to him the remainder of his existence , by afflicting hi 3 innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of a malignant tendency and a variety cf other complaints that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . It is only by purifying the vital stream from insidious disease , that tho body can be preserved in health and vigour . Hence the infinite variety of complaints an infected Btate of the blood induces , and hence the new and decepti ¦ ¦ •> forms a tainted habit puts on , which often deceive the most eminent of the faculty , and baffle tho best intentions to wards a euro . In those disorders wherein salivation has left the patient uncured , weak , and disheartened , and when no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health whicl : ho has unfortunately lost , the Purifying Specific Pills will be found the only effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever been successful , though administered in many desperate cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well as removing Pimples from Ac Face , Sore Legs , or other disagreeable Erupticas on the head , face , and body . , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box .

LEEDS . —The cause prospers well . Members are em oiled in great numbers every meeting nijjht . A splendid lecture was delivered on Sunday evening , by Mr . J . Smith . K . NAUES 3 RO '—A Soiree , in honour « f the Charter , has been held here ; about fifty panOQBi amongst whom were a number of females , sat down to t « a . The room was tastefully decorated ; the singing wai of the first order ; the recitations , music , and dancing was equally good ; a number of patriotic toasts were given and responded to , and the evening ' s entertainments furnished one scene of pleasurable ani edifying enjoyment .
BARRHKAD . —At a public meeting < " held on the 24 th ult ., a verv strong resolution expressive of disgust and indignation at the contumelious treatment of the great body of the Chartists by Mr . Brawster , and declaring the conviction of the meeting that Mr . BrewEter is a dishonest politician , and a tool in the hands of other parties to cause dissention in the Cliartist ranks , was unanimously adopted . KIDDERMINSTER . —Babby Mmtikq . —Chabust TaitJMyH . —A public meeting was convened by the Mayor of Kidderminster on Friday last , at eleven o ' clock , in the Town Hall , for the purpose of congratulating the Queen , Prince Albert , and the Duchess of Kent , on the auspicious event of the birth of a Prince , and it was very evident that the
" privileged class , " composed of bow Whigs and Tories , had unanimously agreed on an address at a hole-and-corner meeting , and the working classes were not expected to attend , but were to be crucified between xhe two parties , Whigs and Torie ? . But , thanks to the leading Chartists , who summoned their men together ; for by a quarter to eleven o ' clock they assembled in great numbers , the sight of which put the privileged class to a stand , and" it w » 3 twelve o ' clock before the business of the meeting commenced . The Mayor , a Whig , was voted to the chair . Dnring this time the Tories were sending their emissaries to the carpet factories and publichouses , to collect all the tag-rag together , telling them that the Chartiste were breaking everything in
the Town Hall . The Vicar of Kidderminster read the addresses and moved their adoption . A gentleman seconded the addresses , and the Mayor was aboui to put them to the meeting , when Mr . Chorlton rose to propose , by way of amendment , that an address , which he held in his hand , representing to her Majesty the unparalleled distress of the country , be attached to the original address , which he introduced in a speech which would not have disgraced the Houie of Lords . He then asked if any gentleman on that side of the hall wonld second it , observ . ing that he had plenty of persons beside him r&adj 10 secoDd it , but he wished to give the gentlemen on that side the house an opportunity of shewing their sympathy for the working classes by seconding the amendment . Mr . Dadswell , an extensive grocer and tc ; -dealer , and a late member of the Town Conncil , arose and seconded the amendment , in a very neat
speech , shewing that taxation and representation ought to be co-existent . He was frequently interrupted by questions from the big Whigs , and thunders of applause from the working classes . Mr . Hitchin , Secretary to the Charter Association rose to support the amendment , and was interrupted for a short time by the respectables and great applause from the working class . The following conversation ensued among the respectables : — Who is he !" " A Chartist lecturer , " said a second . li We don't wa : ; t itinerant lecturers here , " said a third . The Town Clerk— " Are you an inhabitant 1 " Mr . Hitchen— " Yes , and a rate-payer . You have never seen me at your meetings before , but yon shall often have my company for the future . " ThiB was done to prolong the time , so that they could collect their tools together to disturb the meeting . The amendment was then put and carried almost unanimously . One of the Tories then demanded a division . Just at
that moment a swarm of drunken fellows , who had never heard either the addresses uor the amendment read , rushed into the hall , evidently bent on a disturbance , challenging the Chatusts to go into the Lkm Field ; but , on a furtht ; - view they found the Chartists too numerous , so they dropped their flag . The Chartists took no notico 0 } the blackguards , but , to the great surprise of the meeting , tho Mayor decided that the amendment was lost by a very small majority . At this amouncement , the cry of " Shame , shame" resounded from all parts of the hall ; but , in order to convince the Mayor that he was wroE £ in his decision , Mr . Hitchin rose , and requested every one who had voted for the amendment to leave the hali immediately , and go to Mr . Stockall ' s , the Talbot Inn , where a meeti n g would be held for the purpose of taking inte consideration the condnct of the Mayor . This request , was instantly obeyed , aiid in five minutes there was very
few in the bodj of the hall , and those Wko rera&ined in tho other part vrere chiefly those who had been treated with money and drink to come and disturb the proceedings . The meeting was held at the Talbot Inn , and it was agreed unanimously that a public meeting should be held on Tuesday next , to take into consideration ' he conduct of the Mayor , and report thereon . The bills are printed , announcing the meeting , and we expect a bumper . This base conduct of the factions has opened the eyes of the public , and has caused many to be favourable to the Chartist cause whowrre ioraerly opposed to the Chartists . N . B . It is but justice to say that Alderman Talbot protested against the blackguards being let into tha room , stating that the doors ought to be locked until the division was taken : he left the Town Hall in disgust . It was unanimously agreed at the meeting at the Talbot Inn that the proceedings bo ? ent to the Northern Star for insertion .
6 LAS 6 OW . —Mr . John Rodger delivered a lecture , in St . Ann ' s Chnrch , Great Hamilton-street , ou Monday night , the 22 ad ult-, on the best means of obtainiDg the Charter , Mr . Proudfoot in the chair . The lecture , in general , was good , and many of the propositions which it contained worthy of serious consideration . Mr . Con Murray delivered a lecture , in the same place , upon the subject of Orangcism and Ribbonism , on the following Wednesday . The discussion continued till nearly twelye o ' clock , after which a vote of thanks ws > 3 given to the leciurer , and the meeting dissolved .
CAVTON . —The members of the Young Men ' s Association met en Tuesday night , the 23 rd uJr ., at No . 23 , Kirk-street , Mr . Young in the chair , for the j ^ arpose of discussing whether New Zealand or America were the best quarters to go to , providing they intended to emigrate . They contended that New Zsaland , while it had hordd of savage canni-Lals in its bosom , was yet under the influence of a British colonial system of legislation ; hence it was no port 'for a free-bom spirit ; they , therefore , deuided for the States of America , the land of the >) riYe and tho free .
N-obth QfAaTER . —A meeting of the Chartists of tho North Quarter was held on the night of the 24 th ult ., Mr . KUpatr : ck in the chair , to hear a lecture en the prospects of Chartism , by Mr .

Ho called upon Mr .
Rankm to read the petition . Mr . Rankin came forward , and after some remarks , proceeded to read the petition , which was well reeeivt-d by the meeting . Mr . Rankin proceeded to speak in support of the petition , and concluded by moving that it be adopted by t " -e meeting . The moMon was seconded by Mr . Blackits . After considerable discussion on the propriety of mixing up the question of tho Repeal 0 ? ihz Irish Union in the petition , it wa 3 ado ; ^ d by a large majority , not more than five or six hands being held up agaiaEt it ; after which the me 9 ting proceeded to tsiect a delegate to attend the Convention at Glasgow , on tbs third of January .
Messrs . WatBon and Rankin were declared elected by 11 rge mi jority . Mr . Niiba then stated that as Mr . Brewster bad been elected to attend the Convention of Scottish delegates , and as he anticipated that the humbug question of physical force would be brought forward to the annoyance of the delegates and the exclusion of more important busis uses ; he would move , " That our delegate be in-1 strnctedto protest against such a subject being introduced at that meeting . " After a vote of thanks , to the chairman , and three cheers for O'Connor , i the meeting , which was numerously attended , quietly dispersed .

The Secretary then read an account of the receipts and expenditure of the last six months , v .- ^ en it vas sten that there was a clear balance in hand of fcnty-three pounds . A letter was read from Mr . Leader , MJ ? ., regaxding the two females who had been discharged for

presenting the plaid to Mr . O'Connor . Those present were quite shocked when they beard how he had been misinformed by the managers . They threw the odium on the poor female * , to screen themselves from the displeasure of Me Leader , who is » large proprietor of the works in which they were employed . After some other business had been transacted , the meeting separated . TwUva members were enrolled . On Wednesday night , a public meeting was held In the Great Pavilion , New Market Street , to take into consideration the conduct of Magistrates and Town Conncil in their lavish expenditure of the pnblio mosey , in the present distressed state of the country , and likewise to bear Mr . Lowe / J'a farewell address . At a quarter past eight the building having'taen pretty foil ,
Mr . M'Pherson , comb manufacturer , was unanimously called to the chair . He thanked them for-the honoui they bad conferred on him , and animadverted In very severe tenM on toe conduct of the authorities . Mr . Archibald McDonald moved the first resolution , which was a * follows . — "That this meeting view with the greatest disapprobation the conduct of the Magistrates and Town Conncil in their profligate waste of the pnblio money in useless and dangerous displays in the present distressed and excited state of the country . " He spoke at length on the inconsistency of the Magistrates in their blawing away so many hundred pounds of our hardearned money in fireworks to please themselves and a few old women , and likewise on the grand " goaie ; " they are te Uave at the public expence ;
bnt they have said that while the rich do feast and drink , that the poor shall also have their " banquet ' for in their muniflcient charity they have voted £ 50 to charities , that was all very good ; but he haA yet to learn that it was charity first to take that money out of their pockets , and then pretend to give a part back , such conduct was adding insult to injury . Mr . David Wright seconded the resolution , vruich "W&S unanimously agreed to . Mr . Jehu Legge moved the second resolution as follows , and was greeted with loud applause : — " That the inhabitants of Aberdeen , in public meeting assembled , pledge themselves to use every lawful and honourable means in their power to have the franchise extended , as contained in the People ' s Charter , that they may be
enabled to replace the present imbecile and Inconsistent magistrates of Aberdeen , by men who will not first exoite the inhabitants , and then allay that excitement by bludgeons , bayonets , and ball cartridge , and other snch Reform Bill arguments . " He condemned , in very strong terms , the conduct of the magistrates for their would-be loyalty , for gathering a crowd of people to hnas and throw up . their bonnets in the air ; bat if they chanced to throw them too far , then the soldiery were ready at their backs to transfix them with their bayonets , or there were five hundred special constables , at a moments notice , ready to march upon the people with their bludgeons ; and ail these fellows have to be paid out of the public purse . Such meetings as these would teach the magistrates that we are no longer to
submit , or be driven from the paths of rectitude and justice by such tomfoolery as was about to take place in our city . He continued in an eloquent strain for a considerable time , and then sat down amidst cheers . Duncan Nicolson seconded the resolution . The chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously . He then introduced Mr . Lowery , who was hailed with rapturous applause . He descanted on the loyalty of the magistrates , and the great fuss that was made about royalty . He then entered into the fitness of the people to exercise the franchise , and answered all objections on that head , Mr . Lowery continued in a thrilling strain of eloquence for a considerable time , and concluded by thanking them for the quiet manner in -which they had listened to him , and telling them
that he would again have a chance of addressing them about the New Year . He sat down amid cheers . The cbaiman then briefly addressed them , and declared the meeting dissolved . The usual votes of thanks and cheers were given previous to dispersing . This is a meeting from which we expect the magistrates will learn a lesson ; it will teach them that the people we now too intelligent , that they ore too much olive to their own interests to be any longer hoodwinked by those would-be " loyal authorities . " The passing of the second resolution will make those petty despots tremble ; it shows that the Charter is now the adopted creed of the multitude , and that neither the cry
of" hnrrah for the Queen , "' or any other elap-trap humbug , will lead tbeui from the path of duty , or make them give np the broad principle of universal justice to one and all . They may persecute men for holding those principles , they muy immure men in their dungeons , they may banish them to distant climes to languish in exile , but truth and justice ore immutable , and will prevail . They nay retard the actiiuvement of justice , they may endeavour to stem tbe torrent of'public opinion , which is breaking against the crasy hoik of legislative monopoly , this they may do , aye , more , but vengeance yet « hni > come , uud thai too , when least expected . —Correspondent .
