Away with the boast of abundance and gold ! Away with the honours which fame would bestow ! To have them and yet not enjoy what we hold , Can only embitter our life here below . For drooping and lonely , to sickness a prey , __ And beyoud the fond reach of affection to cheer , How dreary the opening and close of each day , And cheerless the change of each swift-rolling year . Ah ! why theni ye weary , who taste not of bliss ; Why seek not the nectar which health can impart !

CAUTION ! THE extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE FILLS has induced several shopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose oh the incautious various counterfeits composed of the most pernicious ingredients , merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit , totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue . Observe , that each Box of the genuine Medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp , on which is engraved these words , PARR'S LIFE ; PILLS in white letters on o red ground , none other can be genuine . : V In no instance has this invaluable Medicine failed to effect a perfect cure where due patience and perseverance has been exercised . Read the following from Mrs . Moxon , York :-- " York , Sept . 7 , 1841 . tl Gentlemen , —We shall feel obliged by your repeating the last order for Parr ' s Life Pills , and forwarding immediately by Pickford ' s Rails . Instances of extraordinary cures are continually occurring to us by their agency . One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma , was , by taking two or three boxes , restored to health . Another instance is a man who had been confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks ; quite incapacitated for walking ; but br simply taking two or three boxes of Parrls Life Pills can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health .

Just published , price 2 s . 12 mo . bound in cloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON rPHB ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the nse of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this Work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore of all those hair ' s-breadthdistinctioHS and unneces sary subdivisions in Analogy * which , if at all nsefiil , can only be useful to fpreigners . The soience 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 Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . ; ¦ . ¦ : . ¦¦ - .

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 lisa of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , ia a few weeks , aequire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of tha 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 a host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the public estimation in which this Workisholdeni— : " 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 as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . . . It is but justice to him to say 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 .

MEDICAL ABVIGE ; TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCUnVT , VENEREAL , OB SYPHILITIC DISEASES , BHEUMATISM , AMD NEBVOUS OB SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . M . WILKINSON ^ SURGEON i &c . 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Bradford , , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of ; VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only oae personal visit , will receive saoh advice and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure i 3 completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases where other praotititioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding poison is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effect a perceptible appearance in the system . — -Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain * the more caos « have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease , and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical iNSTRuenoN ; for * unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall viotims to the ignorant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by the circulation of the blood into all parts of the body * the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcer ? , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in : the liabs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thpa the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . ; What a grief for a youhg person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all th « enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance . 1 ¦ ¦ ' ¦'¦ ¦ \ -. ¦ -..

Mr . Bell , in a speech of half an hour , replied , and shewed to the meetingithat
the evils of which his antagonist had spoken , could not be removed by repeal so long as cur country had eighty millions of national and local taxation to raise , and machinery was substituted for mamiil labour '; he also quoted from M'Cullock to prove that we could not feting in foreign wheat at less than three shillings below " what it has been for the last twelve years in this country ; he also shewed up is a masterly manner , that though our mantifictares had increased twenty fold since the Corn Laws were imposed wage 3 had decreased ; fce also shewed the folly of going to the continent fjr our food , while so mnch land in our own country was capable of being cultivated .

BRISTOL , —We have been vMted by the People ' s Executive , and have reason to hope that a strong impression has been mads in favour of the Charter amongst the traders and working classes , by their able and eloquent addresses , which were delivered *! fonr different meetings in the Hall of Science . Dr . M'Douall retoTBed from Bath by request , and lectured on Wednesday evening , the 16 th inst , at the Castle snd Ball , to a numerous and respectable meeting of the trades , and on Thursday evening at the Chartists rooms , 56 , -Castle-etreet ; on both occasions the Doctor succeeded in obtaining several new members , particularly amongst the masons and other trades of thB city . On Friday , a glorions display of Chartism took plac 3 , and Bristol proved itself not inferior to any town in the Chartist
movement The cause of the excitement originated in ihe following manner : od the evening of Wednesday , ana before the Doctor had scarcely finished his lecture , two of the police entered the Castle and Ball , and had an interview with the landlady , and it is said either suspended or threatened to have her license suspended , the consequence was , that although it had b&enprerioosly announced in the placards that the Doctor would deliver two other lectures in the same room on the following evenings , he was obliged to shift his quarters ; the Chartists of Bristol were not to be done by the interference of their own servants , and the Doctor with a spirit which does honour to his character , declared his intention of holding a pnblic meeting on Brandon Hill bj moonlight , on Fridsy evening . Time being short ,
and no opportunity of issuing placards , a band of nrasie was -provided ; the Doctor sent a special invitation to Sir . Vincent , to Bath , to come over , and he promptly attended . The Chartists assembled in front of the Castle and Ball , paraded the city with flags and bansers , and having collected in their route as many of their fnsais as were attracted by the display , arrived at the Hill , a little aftar eight o ' clock- Here the scene * as bnly gratifying for we are within the mark by stating that 10 , 000 persons were present , amongst whom wera several respectable females . Mr . Simeon was called to the chair , and having explained the reason for calling a inseting in the manner in which the present was convened , and exhorted ths thousands present to be peace ful , yet firm in their conduct whilst they were assembled
to ass&rt their dignity , he called upon Sir . Clifton , who proposed a resolution to the effect " That this meeting adopt the National Petition . " It was seconded by Mr . Copp , and it is needless to say that it was sneported in the ablest manner by Dr . M'Douall and Mr . Vincent ; their speeches were truly powerful and eloquent , and elicited the greatest applause . The resolution being put to the meeting , was carried unanimously ; after which cheers being given for the Charter , Frost , Williams , and Jones , the vast multitude formed themselves into a procession , and with band playing , flags lying , and merry hearts , marched back to their place of rendevouz , where they separated on bearing a few words from Mr Vincent . There was not a single person , &s far as we can learn , iDJnred or insulted ; on the contrary , . the Chartists , as " merry as larks , ' or like men after a
Tietory , marched in proud triumph , and when tha band struck up the " Campbell s are coming , " the fine fellows sung at the top of their voices , " the Chartists are coming , " and " Oh I dear , what can the matter be ?" and indeed so well they might , for there was not a " blue coat '' to be seen , although we must own it was unnecessary to be so cautious , for the sen of Bristol are determined to nave justice done them , and that too £ y moral and Dot physical means . Dr . -M'Douall k-as laid the plan of a central committee for Bristol , membexa have been elected and sanctioned by the above meeting . The trades are enrolling themselves in the cause , both at the association in Castle-street and Bedminster . Mr . Vincent has promised to hold many such meetings during summer , and every thing connected with tile Charter in Bristol looks not only promising Jbnt wears a face of bustling interest .
DUNDEE , —Mr . O'Bsiek js Dukdee . ——The Engish akd Scotch Pstitio-vs . —We had a visit from that taletted advecate of the people ' s rights , Bronlerre O'Brien , this wetk . His first , lecture was announced for Monday night , in the Thistle HaiL Long before the hour of meeting the hall was crammed to suffocation , and thousznds were obliged to go away unable to obtain even standing room . In consequence of the weak state of his health , and the fatigue ofhte journey ooithwardg , it was full three-quarters of an hour after the time announced ( eight o ' clock ) before Mr . OB . could moke his appearance , and it may easily be judged into what state of impatience the meetingcrammed together , and locked as tightly as the stones in an arch—had arrived at Hundreds were crying
loudly to get out . It was as impossible to get out as to get in however , and all was for a time is ntter confusion . In the midst of this , and just when it had arrived at its height , the patriot appeared amidrt the mest deafening applause . Mr . Wm . Davidson was unanimously called to the chair , who briefly introduced the lecturer , ¦ who commenced apologising for detaining the meeting bo long af : er the hour . It appeared that he had not been made acquainted with the proper tisie , or he ¦ would upon no condition whatever have detained them . If I am made aware at any tune , said Mr . CB ., that any f * rtiCTi » -number of my fellow men are waiting lor me , in order that our principles may be discussed . win

betwixt one of their mushroom patriots and . an old cunning and crafty aristocracy , ( showing how easily tb » former -was made to yield to the deep laid plots of the latter . We have heard no stranger , in addressing an audience with whom he most have been unacquainted , make a happier hit than fh' » was . Several who surrounded him upon the hustings might have learned their political characters frem his Hps . Indeed one or two of these lada have materially damaged onr cause here , and are etUl persisting in their mischievous and childish course . It was evident from the appearance which Mr . O'Brien presented , that he could not continne , and he was obliged , after speaking about fifteen minutes , to give way , completely exhausted . Mr . John Duncan rose , and in his usual able and tffectlve manner addressed them for some time , when the lecturer again
resumed , and finished a highly instructive and eloquent address . B « t then came came the tug of war . The conduct of the Glasgow delegate meting in rejecting the National Petition , has been the means of creating mnch discontent here , and that discontent was heghtened by a knowledge of the fact that the delegates assembled ( many of whom are excellent men ) did not fairly represent Scotland . The Glasgow districts Bwamped the meeting by the numbers they returned . One of the Aberdeen delegates was returned at a meeting , the price of admission to which amounted to a prohibition tax to all except the middle class . The Forfarshire delegata acted in such a manner in Dandee upon several public questions that he was afraid to oppose Mr . Duncan at the election , although he had been nominated months btfora . Mr . Duncan himself was elected by some
fifty or sixty persons . ' We do not mean by any means to insinuate from this that there was anything wrong connected with the election of Mr . D ., or that he would not have been returned , had it been a large meeting We rather are of opinion that hewaald have been ' * the man" under any circumstances . But we are certain that a large meeting would have given him different instruction about how he was to act in Glasgow regarding this matter . It was agreed that the Scotch ( as it is termed ) and the National Petitions should be submitted after Mr . O'Brien had finished his address
Accordingly , Mr . Peterkin , delegate to Glasgow from Forfarahire , rose and moved the adoptioa of the Scotch or Glasgow Petition , which was , of course , snpported by Mr . Duncan . Mr . Henry and Mr . James Lowe supported the adoption of the " National . " It was hers suggested by Mr . O'Brien to submit both to the people , and leave them in signing it to judge for themselves . Mr . M'Pherson moved that this plan be adopted , which was seconded . After considerable disenssion , the motion and amendments were severally put , and an immense number of hands were held ttp for all of them . Many are of opinion that the National Petition had the greatest number . The Chairman , however , declared that the National Petition was lost , and then took a show of hands for the ethers . This gave the Glasgow " mare ' s nest" the complete go by—the submitting of both to the people being carried by an overwhelm
ing majority . So Dundee is to have a couple of documents submitted to their consideration , and for their signatures . For various reasons we cannot much approve of this . It has all the appearance , we think , of division in the camp . Like a house divided against itself . We cannot help here stating our conviction that , this plan being suggested by Mr . O'Brien , a number supported it out of compliment to that gentleman Had the question b # en left to its own merits , the Glasgow document would not have had the slightest chance ia competition with that put out by the Executive Council . Another thing connected with this matter we intended to refer to at some length , namely , that of the Scotch petition having been read at length t j the meeting , while the other was objected to in consequence of the . time it would occupy in reading ; while those objecting put off more time in speechifying upon the subject that it might have been twice read in . We will see which of the petitions get the most signatures
Mb , O'Bbien lectured on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to crowded houses . On Thursday a social entertainment was held , which was well attended . On Friday evening , he was challenged to a debate by a Socialist (?) named Anderson ; and our semi-Socialist , semi-Chartist , and semi-everything else , Mr . Peterkin . But such a debate ! It reminded us of a lion sporting with a pair of monkeys . If our Dandee amateurs were not satisfied , everybody else seemed to be so . We have not enjoyed such a laughing treat for many a long day .
COVENTRY . —Chartism Triumphamt !——On Tuesday last , a meeting of the inhabitants of this city was convened by the Mayor , to take place in the County Hall , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon , to take into consideration , the propositions made by Sir B- Peel , in the House of Commons , on the Corn Laws , and to adopt resolutions in favour of a total repeal of those obnoxious and iniquitous laws . No sooner did these bills make their appearance , than the Chartists came to the determination to oppose the Com Law party of this town . A handbill was issued by the Council of the Charter Association , headed " Justice to one and all , " censoring the Mayor and Sherifl for their conduct to the deputation which waited upon . these gentlemen a few days previous , and showing that the middle classes
wera afforded every facility to express their opinions , and to bring them -with ferce under the consideration of the Government . It called upon the working men of Coventry to be present at the meeting , and pursue such a course of policy on that occasion as would become the character of Englishmen , as patriots to their country as Jovers of their homes , and as ardent friends of pare and just government The appearance of this bill created very great excitement aud caused hundreds to attend * the meeting expecting the Chartists and Repealers would come in collision with each other . The Hall capable cf holding 2 , 000 , was fiUed in less than five minutes after the doors were thrown open Mr , Wifcfcem was called to the chair . During tbe Chairman ' s address , Mr . John Mason accompanied by
several of the Council , made bis appearance- amid the cheering of the working men , who instantly made way to admit Mr . Mason and his Chartist friends , to where the Corn Law gentry sat Tbe first resolution was proposed by Mr . D . Smith , seconded by Mr . D . Buckney , condemning the Coin Laws as unjust , &c . The next resolution was proposed by Mr . N . Taunton , seconded by Mr . Cash , attributing the evils tnat efflict this country to class legislation , thatnothing short of a full , free , and complete representation of the whole people in the Commons House of Parliament , could remove the evils under which they suffer . Mr . Mason begged permission of the Chairman to speak , ( the chairman nodded assent . ) Mr . Mason then rose and spoke for more than an hour in one continued strain of thrilling eloquence , showing the superiority of tbe Charter Agitation over all others . He defended the rights of labour , condemned Sir R . Peel ' s sliding scale and Lord
John ' s fixed < : uty and finished a speech that completely electrified his hearers by proving that nothing short of the People ' s Char ter , can er would benefit the country . At the conclusion of his speech , the cheering and clapping of hands was deafening and lasted for as much a 9 five minutes . At least three-fourths of the meeting were thorough-going Chartists , and a resolution was proposed by Mr . Hoey . and seconded by Mr . George Gilbert , *• That this meeting do adjourn , and that the Mayor be requested to allow them the use ef the Hall , to discuss the five points of the Charter . " After the meeting , Mr . Whittem , Mr . C . Bray , and Mr . D . Buckney waited upon the Mayor , who granted tbe use of the Hall by g-ving him two day ' s notice . The meeting is to take place on Honday next , when the working men of this town would be highly gratified by a visit from Mr . O'Connor . The Association increases in strength . We have adopted the National Petition , and shall get it signed by at least 10 , 000 persons
We had a visit from two of the Executive , Messrs . Campbell and Leach , on Thursday night , which highly gratified the men of this place . HALIFAX . —A delegate meeting was held at this place on Sunday last , when delegates were present from the following places : —Halifax , Sowerby , Ripponden , Luddenden , Lower Warley , Ovenden , and Mixenden .

Rushton in the chair : —" That one-fonrth of the contributions be handed in every month , if required , to establish a District Fund , for the sending of lecturers t © those places where they have not yet joined in the glorious cause , " " That any lecturer , wishing to visit this district , Bhall correspond with the District Secretary to that effect , and await his answer . " " That all Iecturera will be requested to produce their
credentials from the sub-Seeretary of the Association they profess to belong to . " " That Mr . James Chippendale be appointed District Secretary , whose address is 31 , South-street , Halifax .

" " That a levy of threepence per member be made for the support of the forthcoming Convention , to be handed in on the 6 th of March . " "That the next delegate meeting be held a » Ripponden , en the 20 th of March , in the Charter Association Room , at two o ' clock in the afternoon , when the attendance of delegates from those localities that have nol yet joined the district axe particularly requested . "
SWANSEA . —A requisition was presented to the mayor of this town , by the working classes , to convene a meeting in the Town Hall to express their opinians on the Corn Laws , and extension of tha franchise . The mayor ( h really liberal man ) appointed Thursday evening last , and the business of the meeting commenced at seven o ' clock , and such was the densly crowded state of the spacious hall that the intended speakers had much difficulty in obtaining situations from which to address the meeting ; indeed , the Rev . J . Jenkins , M . A ., who intended to support the petition for Universal Suffrage , Tote by Ballot , and the
Abolition of Property Qualification , was unable to . get into the meeting , and was obliged to remain in the Judge ' s Room , Behind theetuir , until the mayor retired from the chair , which , gave him the opportunity to enter , and in seconding the yofo of thanks to the mayor to express , his sentiments , though not at such length as he intended . Hundreds returned , unable to get admission . The proceedings passed off in admirable order , and the effect has been to produce an extensive revolution in the general opinion respecting our principles Viewed as a preliminary meeting , it is of very great importance . It was understood to be a Chartist mrrement , bat the resolutions and petition adopted by

In the evening , we were honoured by the services of Mr . Campbell , the justly appreciated Secretary to the Executive ; who in delineating the workings of the laws of mother church and primogeniture , was most happy and humourous . He was followed up by Mr . Duffy , who completely killed the Whiga and prepared a political grave , for the Tories , fiuishing up at the end of lecture , by taking his pen in his hand , and never stirring while an unenrolled person stood .
Last Shift ov the Truckling Whigs . —We had another attempt made by the Corn Law clique on Friday , to gull the brave Chartists of this town . I n compliance with a hole-and-coraer meeting previously concocted , they issued printed invitation cards to their friends , etating that a meeting of the Free-trade Association of Bilston would be held in their sanctorum , stating that each invited guest was at liberty to bring a friend with them ; our brave fellow' 3 get scent of their move , and determired to meet them on their own dunghill , in pursuance ef which a good muster attended at an early hour to gain admittance , but not beiDg furnished with the printed invitation cards , they were considered unwashed , and not fit to must 9 r with the cl : que of
respectables . Our noble army of patriots , however , soon made their appearance in such numbers , as induced the broadcloth gentry to throw open the doors of the sanctorum , which in a fow minutes was densely thronged by Chartists of the real stamp , with blistered hands and unshorn chins . Mr . Bew , chapelwarden , was called to the chair . After some remarks , he stated that the business of the meeting was entirely intended to communicate information to the Free-trade Association of Bilston only ; and a 3 their business was merely of a local nature , and as parties were admitted out of mere courtesy , that were not membersof their association he hoped , they would not interfere with the resolutions he had to put , which were for the extension of trade , to relievo the
working classes , and for theabolition of ' allnioapolies . Here the meeting became uproarious , when Mr . John Stiran rose , and , silence being restored , proceeded to give the Com Law Clique a severe and honest castigation for their sins of commission and omission , for their last ten years of misrule , not forgetting the odious Poor Law , Irieh Coercion Bill ^ their political hanging , gagging , and transportation Bills , &c . &o . —summing up the whole by declaring that this meeting do pledge themselves never to join in any agitation whatever that has not for its basis tho Charter , with its five points unadulterated ; and , being persuaded that class legislation is the canseof all the nation's evil ? , we aro determined never to cease agitating , until the Charter becomes the law of the land—then , and then only , shall the nation be freed from the Corn Laws , and all other bad laws . The speaker went on to prove to a
demonstration that all the twaddle now made use of was part and parcel of that resorted to by " Finality John , " when he and his comrades were about being kicked out of office . At the conclusion of the address * the Chairman promised to meet Mr . Stiran at a future time , and publicly discus 3 the merits of the Corn Laws , to which Mr . Stiran assented , aiid the meeting then separated . Thb cause of Democracy progresses daily ; Mr . Duffy lectured here on Thursday night , and gave a soul-stirring discourse . He stopped in the room until he actually enrolled with his own hand all tho half-decided Chartists . This h news worth telling , aud worth copying after ; and , - stilt glorious to relate , we have opened a British Chartist School for boys and girls , conducted by a master and governess of the true Republican School .
