MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT , 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . IT may be stated as a fact , that there is no disease which has demanded more , or received leaB , attention from tbe Medical Profession generally , than Lues Venera . From this cause alone , it is allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By the application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of every hundred of these might be saved . But to attain this , it is necessary tbat a Medical Practitioner should devote his time almost exclusively to the consideration of this most insidious and dangerous disease . It appears under so many varied forms , and assumes so many different aspects , that nothing but coastant experience can enable even the most devoted student to detect and eradicate it . When a Medical Man abandons the general practice of the Profession , and devotes bis studies entiraly to thia particular branch , then be at once looses caste , and is branded by his colleagues as a Quack . In defiance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ., Beg to state that they continue io apply all their knowledge and experience to the eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happiness which they have been the means of restoring to thousands who would , in all probability , have otherwise sank prematurely into the grave . This Establishment has now been open upwards of seven years , during which period , thousands of cases have been treated , and in no one instance has the patient been disappointed of an effectual cure . In most instances , a few days have sufficed to eradicate the Disease ; but where the disorder has been allowed to make serums inroads by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily been required to complete the cure . W . and Co ., know of no instance where any establishment devoted to the care of the same class of disease , has maintained so long a standing , which must be regarded as a conclusive proof of their integrity ^ Snd ability . Long experience has enabled them to produce a remedy which is applicable to almost every stage of the disease . Their PURIFYING DROPS Have been used in thousands of ease ? , and with tbe most signal success . Perhaps no Medicine was ever offered to the Public , which has been so efficacious in restoring the diseased to health arid vigoar They are powerful and speedily efficacious , in the most obstinate as well as recent cages . A Treatise of twelve pages ib gives with them , explaining the various aspects of the Disease ; aud the directions are so full and explicit , that persons of either eex may cure themselves without eves the knowledge ef a bedfellow . - In « omplianoe with the wishes of many of their Patients , Wilkinson and Co ., a short time ago , published a Work , entitled THE SECRET MEDICAL ADVISER ,-Price Two Shillings and Sixpence , or sent free to the most remo ^ id parts of the kingdom ( in a sealed envelope ) on the receipt of a Post-office Order , for Three Shilling and Sixpence . Within the . * paee of six months a very large edition of this valuable Work has been disposed of , which will be a sufficient test of its importance . It is a PracticalTreati « e on the Prevention and Cure of the Venereal Disease , andotber affections of the urinary and sexual or ^ os , in both sexes , with a mild and successful mode * f treatment , in all their forms and consequences j especially Gieet , Stricture , affections of the Bladder , Krostrate Glands , Gravel ,

" The variousforms of bodily and mental weakness incapaoity , 8 ufferingandidisease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally mu > uudorstood , and treated upon principles . correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yetrfriendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty ot restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents . Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , Who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary caatioas this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they reauire for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If wo consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of lioontious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . *• The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation , into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results ii both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporaril y impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored : how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous * style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceivedby the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitationofthe heart , derangement ofthe nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated ana exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medieal works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . Tbe work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotadness 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 oonsequent 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 . It is written in a clear intelligible stylo , 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 Magnet . 11 The security of happiness , in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but » any dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligatio&s . This essay is most particularly addressed to ' all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health .

^ THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD !!! bead ! and judge for yourselves !! rpHE following statement of facts has been com-X municated to the Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS ;—Messrs . T . Roberts and Co . Malton , Jan . 30 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —Though it is but a very short time since I last wrote for a . supply ot'Parr ' s Life PiMs , I find that owing to an . astonishing increase io tatt sale of them , 1 am again compelled to request jOUtO send me twenty dozen of the small , 83 also a supply of the large size . I should wish you to forward them by railway to York , thence by carrier , a 3 early as possible , as I am afraid my present stock will be exhausted before they reach me . I enclose you the case of a person who resides in Malton , and whose testimony may be relied upon as being strictly correct . This is but one case selected from an almost incredible number of others , which have come under my notice , in which cures nave been effected by tha use of Parr ' s Life pillsi Many ' highly ^ spectabla persons in this neighbourhood , who previous to the introduction of Parr ' a Life Pillshad a decided diBlike to Patent Medicines , are now thankful that they are able to add their testimonials to the beneficial effects of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , the quantity of pills aa ordered above , you will oblige , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , J . WRANGHAM . Gentlemen , —When I consider the very great relief 1 have experienced from the use oCB&tt'b Life Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to you but fo every one who may be suffering from similar complaints with which I have been afflicted , to make my astonishing case as public as possible . For a long time past I have been greatly troubled with a most severe nervous complaint , giddiness . and swimming in tbe bead , which increased to such a degree that at times I was compelled to leave off from my work , being unable to bear the least fatigue or excitement . At the suggestion of many of my friends , I was induced to try various medicines , butfound that my complaint instead of diminishing , was daily growing worse . Having fortunately heard of the beneficial offects of Parr ' s Life Pills , I resolved to * ive them a fair trial , though 1 must confess with but little hopes of deriving benefit from them , after havingjtried so many other medioines without success ; I immediately purchased a small sized box of Mr * Wrang « ham , chemist , the only agent for the sale of them in Malton , and fortunate indeed has it been for me that I did so , for thongh I have just finished taking this one box , I find myself so far relieved that instead of daily , nay hourly , suffering from that dreadful complaint , nervousness , with its attendant miseries , I am restored to my former good health ; my nerves are strong—the giddiness and swimming in my head are totally removed , and I am now able to attend regularly to my trade . Allowing you to make whatever use you may think proper of this statement and being truly grateful for the benefit I have obtained ; from taking Barr ' s Life Pills . I am , Gentlemen , your obedient Servant , THOMAS PATTISON , Painter . N . B . I shall be glad to answer any enquiries respecting the good the pills hate done ma . To Mr . T . Roberts and Co ., Crane Court , Fleet * street , London . A most extraordinary Case of Cwe communicated * by Mrs . Moxon of York . Mrs . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants proDonuced to be Cancer .- It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills bein / j recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable advantage which she haa already derived from them . She further states that she is no ? r almost well , and ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign medioin * Parr ' s Life Pills . From Mr . R . Turner , Lewton . To Messrs . T . Roberts & Co ., Crane Court , Fleetstreet , London . Lenton , near Nottingham , Dec . 12 , 1842 . Dear Sir . —I beg leave to tender yoa my warmest thanks for the great benefit which I have reoieved from your valuable Parr ' s Life Pills in the cure of a distressing species of fluttering , or palpitation of the heart , which I experienced some years , and which has now , by the use of three small boxes of your invaluable medicine , entirely left me * and indeed , I now enjoy bettor health and spirits than I have done for some time . Hoping you will , for the benefit of the public at large , make my case known , I remain , Gentlemen , yours , very gratefully , RICHARD TURNER . N . B . —Any person who may not credit this statement may , by referring to me , obtain satisfactory answers to their enquiries . R . T . From F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon Jaffra , October 17 th , 1842 . Sir , —I beg to inform you that having undertaken the small supply of the celebrated Parr ' s Life Pills , lately received fiere from you by tfce Rev . P . Percival , they have met with a very rapid eale , arid the constantly increasing demand from every part of the province ensures to a very large extent success to the dealer , and good to the people at large . May I theiefore take the liberty of requesting you will be good enough to send me 1000 boxes by the very first opportunity , making , if yoa please , the usual discount to purchasers of such large quantities . I beg toremark that the value of the above will be given by me into the hands of the Rev . Mr . Percival , who has kindly offered to be responsible to you for the same . I remain , your obedient errant . F . MATTHEISZ . lease address me F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills , Crane-Court , Fleet-street . Communicated by Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . East Str at ton , near Winchester , Dec . 13 th , 1842 . Sir , —You will remember I sent to your shop for a bottle of medicine round which was a paper containing testimonials of cures effected by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Amongst many others 1 observed one ; a case of Rheumatism , which appeared to me similar to my own case , and seeing it so successfully treated , simply by the use of Parr's Life Pills . I resolved upon giving ihat invaluable medicine a fair trial . 1 had been afflicted with Rheumatism many years , and at tha time to which I tefer was suffering acutely . I determined , as I have said , on giving Old Parr ' s remedy a fair trial ; and accordingly sent for a box of the Life Pills . By the use of these pills I am enabled to say that I am now as well as ever I have been during the whole of my life . Thank God , I can now walk as well as ever I did . At the time when I first tried Parr ' s Life Pills , I could scarcely walk daring the day-time ; and atnighil could get no sleep . I am now enjoying excellent health , and sleep soundly , and I am free from pain of every kind . I am , Sir , yours , &o . JAMES DANIELLS . ( aged 58 yeaw . ) Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . Parr ' s Life Pills are acknowledged to be all that is required to conquer disease and prolong life . No medicine yet offered to the world ever so ra * pidly attained such distinguished celebrity ; it is questionable if there now be any part of ths civilized world where ite extraordinary healing virtues have not been exhibited . This signal snecess is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely tt the strong recommendations ' of parties cured by their use . At this mement the Proprietors are in possession of aearly 5 S 0 letters from influential , respectable , and intelligent members of society , all bearing testimony to the great and surprising benefits resulting from the ase of the medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour such as no other medicine ever yet called forth , and places it in the proud distinct tion of being net only the most popular but the most valuable remedy ever discovered . CAUTION—BEWABB OP IMITATIONS . In order to protect the publio from imitations , the Hon . Commissioners of Stamps have Ordered the words Parr's Life Pills to be engraved on tbe Government Stamp , which is pasted round the sides of each box , in .-whits letters on a SEPi ground , Without this mark of authenticity they are spurious and an imposition !

except an abandonment of principle , at the disposal of fi » Irish TJniveml Suffrage Association , to effect a sincere and hearty reconciliation between two great and powerful men : the one at -the Bead of , and the powerful leader of a great nation , the acknowledged leader of the great majority of the Irish people ; tbe other « hosen to represent and advocate the political ereed of Tbsee Miixioss , Eivb Hundred Thousand XAIB ISHXBIuailS OP GRKaT BRITAIN—( bear , hear } . The " object of the resolution was a holy one . "Why should tbe moral aid of 3 , 500 , 000 Britons be rejected because Mr . ( XConnell and Mr . OGonnor had Boms dispute , of which , we know nothing ? He did not wish to say anything in favour of the one more than the otbezY but strict and impartial justice
demanded of hint to aay that , in hf « opimoa , Mr . O GonaeTT was H » patty mask to blame far keeping np this -anfortsnate dispute—{ cries < rf no , so ) . Well , bow doet it happen , then ,- , that when Mr . O'Connor came forward in Xondon , and paid his subscription , of one pound to the Repeal rent ; that by an order direct from tie Corn Exchange in Dublin , Jir . O'Connor ' s money was ordered to be retained to him , and that he ¦ Would not be allowed to speak in favour of Repeal at a meeting of Irish Repealers in Lendon ?—( hear ^ hear ) ? Who was to blame for that ? We do not wish to bring forward these matters now . Our object is conciliation bat bo compromise of principle . —no Whiggery—so Toryism—but a cordial union of the plundered , hard-working , honest , people of Great Britain
and Ireland . Our oppressors are united ; why then ahould we not unite morally , legally , and constitutionally for the attainment of these jast rights whieh were basely and perfidiooEly filched from us—( hear , hear ) . The Secretary would read tbe rules and objects of the Association . It would be . seen by the roles that none bat members could , take a part in the debate , or rattier proceedings ; bat in tfee present case that rale -would be relaxed so as to allow every one , who wished it , to apeak , or move an amendment to the motion ; in short act as if they were members—{ bear , bear ) . He was roe that he should have but little trouble ^ preserving order in the meeting . Every one should have a fair bearing . The chairman resumed his seat amidst loud applause .
Hz . 3 > yott caving read the rales and objects of the Association , and letters from Norwich , Leeds , Brighton , london , Dungannon , Newry , Belfast , Armagh , BftHyahaanon and Sligo , proceeded to read the order of the day , and through the chairman called npon M * . OTBggimto proceed with the motion of which be had given notice on the previous Saturday : Mr . O'HiggiDS rose , and was received with loud cbeets . He addressed the meeting for nearly an hour and * . h alf , and was listened to in breathless silence . He explained tbe views and feelings of the English Badical Reformers from . 1782 down to the present period ; and- proved , to the satisfaction of every Tfttfr » r >« i -maw at the meeting , **»»¦* the British Radicals Vere &e consistent friends of civil and religions liberty
all over the world—that tbe document knows-as the Peoples Charter was merely an embodiment of the principles of the old Radical Reformers . He very forcibly reminded bis audience of the triumphant and glorious reception whieh the Radicals of England and Scotland gave to Mr- ( FConnell in 1834 , when be was persecuted by the Whigs . He satisfied every one of the gross in justice of attributing to the Chartists of England the crimes of their and car oppressors . He shewed that the Chartists of Great Britain were as much opposed to tbe unconstitutional suppression of the public meeting at Clontarf as Mr . O'GonntU fcimsetf coTrid j > e , He maintained that tbe Government had no right to stop the meeting . It would be seen , soon after the meeting of Parliament , that notwithstanding all the
abase and vituperation whieh have been heaped upon the devoted beads of the English Chartists that they would to a man resent this flagitious attempt to crush public opinion in Ireland by military despotism—[ bear )—and as they did in 1834 , when they helped Mr . O'Consell to obtain a triumph over bis Whig persecutors , they would come forward sow to the aid of Ireland and help her to punish tile Minister of the Crown who ordered tbe suppression of the Clontarf meeting by military force . He then , at great length , and with his usual yUgwwa ^ explained the advantages which both countries would derive from a cordial union between the Chartists and the O'Connellite Repealers . He was obliged to make this distinction between the Repealers , as all Chartists are Repealers , whereas the O'Connellite
Repealers are not Chartists ; they profess to be whatever Mr . O'Connell wishes them to be—[ hear , hear , *• that' s true" } - The offer therefore for conciliation should come from Mr . O'Connell . ilr . O'Connor made the first step towards conciliation by paying hia subscription to ti ) 8 Repeal Fond . The money and the aid Which ha effered were both rejected ; and for what ? because Mr . O'Connor is a , € hsrtast as well as a Repealer . The onus is surely thrown npon Mr . O'Connell to show why , as a Repealer , be rejects the aid of half the male popaUtioQ of fireat Britais in fe-ronr of bis own darling project . If hs thlnia he can get it-wdibout thj consent OS aid » f England , It is B&taral enough that he should like to have all the merit and all the gloryto himself ; bat it is not becoming in him as a Christian to keep up and perpetuate enmity and hatred between himself
aad Mr . O'Connor . We here are desirous to see peace and good wSl established on a firm footing between the people of Great Britain and Ireland , which -can be achieved in the course of a few days , by Mr . O'C ~ mnell inviting Mr . O'Connor to a friendly discajaion of their respective views , la the Conciliation HalL If both parties were united for one common object neither Whig nor Tory , nor both together , could withhold the just rights of tbe people . Let every lover of peace and goodwill amongst men en earth not only vote , for this conciliatory motion , bat make up his mind to use every effort in bis power to carry it into effect Was there a man amongst them who would sot like to see Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Connell shake bands , and make np their dispute in the Conciliation . Hall ? ( Hear , hear , and " We would all like to Bee thai . " ) Does any one ] esow what has T&x . O'Connor dose to Mr . O'Connell ? It
Bhonia be known . But no matter what he did , a settlement of their ¦ quarrel would -eSeat an immediate -colon between the O'Connellite Repealers , and the Chartists . Barely no honest Repealer can blame the Chartists for demandinc more than Repeal .

was for the people whose interest was so deeply affected by tills unlucky falling out of men who , were once fast friends , to good-naturedly coerce . them into reconciliation— ( bear ) . He therefore implored the gnat body of Repealers who , thronged the Exchange rooms to influence their friends , and express Uuir desire to Mr . O'Connell , that an amalgamation of all Rudical Reformers should take place .. Their worthy president bad informed them rightly that the Chartist colour is green ; under this livery of nature , and chosen emblem of Erin , the working classes of the two countries should ^ unitedly war with tbe system which crashed them to the earth ; and under that banner , with steadiness in the ranks and unanimity * ninr , p ^ their leaders , the people sioulcl and would succeed—( load cheers ) .
List it not be thought for an instant that in thus advocating conciliation , he ( Mr . D . ) for one moment abandoned his conviction that nothing short of the Charter fully acquired wonld ever do for the laborious classes . A Repeal of the Union would give them , to be sure , the semblance of self-legislation ; but its substance they would never have till the people In reality elected the House of Commons—in a word , till they bad Universal Suffrage—( hear , bear ) . It was bis misfortune to have been born , and fostered amidst Conservative predeiiotions of the bitterest cast ; but nature having formed within him an enquiring mind , he read and reflected , and ultimately arrived at tbe conviction that it was a grievous , a diabolical system which had filched from the poor the birthright of freedom and thrown political
protection around wealth and rank alone ; and thinking so he had resolved to devote whatever his humble abilities or influence could effect to the cause of human liberty , civil and religious , in the widest and most comprehensive sense—( cheers ) . It was bis firm conviction that aristocracy—founded on the doctrine of the inevitable degradation of a great majority of mankind—was a practical blasphemy against the deity , who had given the poor generally finer physical forms , and not unfrequectly superior intellectual powers than he bestowed on the rich—( hear ) , —and though not a member of the Bishop of Ardagh's church , he would take the liberty of indorsing bisXord&bip ' s sentiment regarding aristocrats , for whom be entertained the heartiest contempt —( cheers ) . There could never be contentment for the masses or security for those called the " higher" classes , till the name of freeman ceased to be a distinctive appellatisn . Rome bad to arm her slaves ; Greece did it once to her own imminent peril ; and would the
Government of this country , if a foreign enemy were on its coast , feel secure in arming the men wh » were , through political diBfrancbisement , as veritably serfs and slaves as if they wore the badge and collar of feudal servitude 7 the enly distinction being , that in those barbarous days the slave was as well-fed as the hogs he tended , while in these enlightened times the bogs were fattened and the mechanical slave was lean , pale , and hungry—( hear and cheer * > . They knew tbeir condition and its cause intimately—tbe monopoly of legislation by the " master class , " as Mr . O'Connell bad well called it—( hear and cheers ) . Mr . Dyott continued to dwell at great length on tbe necessity of union at this crisis , on tbe friendly disposition of the working dssses of England , and concluded by saying that though he bad been as he considered mostnnfairly denounced bimself by Mr . O'Connell on religious grounds , he was yet Willing to wave all personal considerations , and lend his humble assistance in bringing about a reconciliation . He concluded , amid loud cheers , by seconding the motion .
Mr . O'Snllivan said , though be was not as yet a member of the Association , yet he hoped that he might take the liberty of making a few observations . He , like many others , had been greatly misled respecting the character and principles of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . The impression which the speeches against them intho Dublin papers , had made npon bis mind , was that the society was unlawful ; that it was composed of a low gang of unprincipled men in tbe pay of tha Tories—( hear , hear ) . Now it not only was a shame , bnt an act of gross fraud upon the subscribers and readers of any newspaper to misrepresent and calumniate such men as those who had spoken there that day . Were honest men to be traduced , vilified , and run down in a Christian country like this , because they
demanded more political rights than others have either the manliness or the honest ? to seek for ? He ( Mr . O Sullivan ) looked upon the principles of the Association to be sound and just , principles which would be adopted and cherished by every honest man in Ireland if be knew them . What right has a press , which professes public liberty , to suppress tbe public proceedings of an Association like this ? He ( Mr . O'Sullivan ) had read in the columns of tbe Freeman ' s Journal , the Register , and Pilot , that this Assodation was unlawful ; that its members were bound together by unlawful oaths ; that they had secret signs and pass words . Have those papers made any atonement for these calumnies 1 He could assure the meeting that tbe people in his
district , would much rather read an act of justice , such as be ( Mr . O'Suilivan ) bad mentioned , than all the prosy , stupid balderdash called " leading articles" in the Freeman ' s Journal during the last two years . He knew something of a little smattering of the classics—a little of the fashionable languages ; had made some proficiency In science ; bat he could declare , before that meeting , that it was with great difficulty be could at any time discover what the articles in the Freeman were about He had heard more sound political principle enunciated that day than he had read in the Dublin papers for years—( hear , hear ) . He hoped that the admirable resolution which was so ably introduced , and so eloquently supported by its seconder , would be pissed by acclamation .
Mr . Thomas Doun—I oppose tbe motion —( bear , hear , •' Are you a member ? " ) No ; but 1 oppose the motion . I have my Repeal card , and we can get Repeal without tbe assistance of England . What do we care for Ecgland ? Mr . O'Connell said , on the 23 rd of October , that we would have Repeal in six months , that is , that the Parliament would be sitting in College Grsen on the 22 nd day of April , 2844 , or he would suffer his head to be cut off—( hear , bear ) . Now , what more do ye want ? Haven't we hiB word for it 1—hasn't be pledged filmaplf to it , provided we are all peaceable . I move an amendment—that tbe motion be rejected . It is a motion against tbe character of our Liberator ; a cheer for him—( great cheering ) . The Chairman—The amendment is not seconded . A Voice—I second it
Mr . Woodward—I had hoped that the advise of Mr . O'Sullivan would have been taken , and that tbe motion wonld have passed -without a single dissentient He could not see what was in the motion againBt Mr . ConnelL Mr . O'Brien supported the motion , Mr . Doyle—I am not a member- I cannot join you , thongh my heart is with you ; but I recommend the mover of the amendment to withdraw It for his own sake , before the debate is closed by the Teply . J / ht knew as much at I do he would take my advice . The Chairman having asked if any other person wished to speak , and having been answered is tbe negative , :
Mr O'Higging rose to reply—He said that , he had no arguments to reply u > . He regretted that any amendment had been proposed . The obvious meaning of the amendment was , " that there shall be no conciliation ; that discord must reign amongst as . " The amendment reminded him of the conduct of a certain black gentleman who envied the happy state of paradise . Mr . Dunn—1 withdraw the amendment Let the resolution be carried unanimously . I am bat a young speaker , I did not see how far wrong I was —( hear , hear ) . Mr . O'Higgins—Then there is no necessity for any farther chstrvations . He should leave the resolution in the hands of the meeting . The resolution was then put and carried with three hearty cheers , and one cheer more . After which tferea cheers were given for the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , three for Mr . O'Connell and three for Mr . O'Connor .
When the immense mass of people got together is the street , spine one proposed a cheer for the Charter and Repeal , ' which was loudly responded to . Thus terminated the largest and most important meeting that has been held since the formation of tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association .

The -Dikt m Mabyxeboke Wobkhouse . —We hare lately been favoured with several no very savoury scraps of meat which had been offered to the poor in out workhouses , by the Guardians , under the authority of the Commissioners at Somerset House , as a means to satisfy the cravings of their hungry stomachs , Small in quantity , God knows , was each man ' s dinner ; aad -worse or as bad in quality as that which 1 b not nnfxeqnently given to doga , or manufactured into prime beef sausages at 4 d a ponnd by the London purveyors .

Let ns come to facts . A few days ago , the Marylebone ¥ estry assembled for the purpose of considering a petition , and a very reasonable one , of the workers in their stone yardB for an increase in the portion of bread ! They did not ask for meat , or cheese , or beer ; they merely asked for a little more bread ! They alleged , but did not even remonstrate , that their porridge was miserably thin . What the effect of dilated oatmeal has upon paupers ,
let the mortality * f the Bridgwater Union say . These petitioners asked at the hands of the most opulent district in Europe , whose rental Is tbe income of almost a Monarchy , thai their ration should be increased to that of tbe worst felons in the jails , or rather to something below it . They stated that ten ounces of bread per day is so very little for men wao are employed at hard labour , that th « ir hungtr S ' nf ' ^ wawmro it at one meal . Ten sW ft !

6 twenty ounces are delivered ; in the jails twentyfour ounces . In Marylebone , with a rental of not much less than £ 700 , 000 or £ 800 , 000 , these wealthy , these sordid Governors give their hungry labourers less bread than those receive who live in the most distressed hamlets of Dorsetshire and ; Wiltshire . Can we wonder , after this , if disaffection prevailsthat the standing army is not large enough for the demands upon it—that insurrection breaks out in Wales—that discontent and danger abound everywhere—when vthisi increasing anny of . destitution meets us at every turn , unemployed but craving for the boon of labour , and at length it finds employ ment , baton a ration so meagre that life is scarcely
maintained by it , and this by the decree and With the sanction of the largest parish of the Metropolis 1 There is scarcely a workhouse in the Metropolis , in which the poor are so well fed as the felons confined in . Newgate or the Compter . In both these places , sufficient food is allowed to satisfy the wants of the inmates ; and moreover , it is dean and wholesome , and not dished up Itke . so much carrion , as we observe it in our workhouse jails . We have alwayB maintained the rights of the pbor to a sufficiency of good and wholesome diet : Every man who falls into decayed circumstances , is iustlv entitled to an asylum and relief . All hia life he
has been paying to a joint stock fund , and he ought not to be ashamed to cros 9 the threshold of a workhouse when poverty overtakes him . In the purchase of a penny loaf , an individual clearly contributes to this fond , seeing that , if the baker had no cesses to pay he wonld be enabled to sell his bread cheaper In fact thepublic , by a thousand ways , is continually adding to the stock ; and men ought not to be beneath demanding support if they become destitute ; nor ought they , on account of poverty , which is now considered more in the light of a crime than a misfortune , to be fed upon coarse innntritious food , as we find they are in the workhouses , or receive an insufficiency of it . —Weekly Dispatch .

DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS . Loss of Fodb Vessels . —Lloyd's . Nov . 11 . —We regret to state that tbe accounts received yesterday from the Cape of Good Hope contain the most sad intelligence of a dreadful » tonn baviog occurred on tbe night of the 2 « lh of A&gnat , in and off tbe c > &Bt of Algoa Bay , by whisk four valuable ships , estimated at between £ 30 , 000 and £ 40 , 000 , were lost , as also several lives . . Loss op the Elizabeth Rowell . —This vessel was a very fine barque , the property of the Hall
Shipping Company . She was almost a hew ship , having only been built in the year 1839 at Snnderland , and was three hundred and twenty tons measurement It appears from tbe information received , that she managed to weather the storm for several hoars , bat early on the following morning she was driven ashore in Algoa Bay by the violence of the hurricane , and in less than twenty four hours she went to pieces , her commander , Captain Wake , and his crew , having saved themselves by means of the long boat . Her cargo was rather a valuable one . of a miscellaneous character .
Loss of the Seagull—Sixteen Lives Lost — This deplorable event occurred about midnight , when the storm was at its height She was seen to make for tbe Bay , and ultimately got in , where she suddenly foundered . Apparently the crew feared the catastrophe and were in the act of lowering tbe boats when the ship went down , and every soul on board perished , including the captain , Mr . Mahay . Tbe Seagull was also a barque of 239 tons burthen , and was launched at Montrose in the year 1841 . It is supposed she was insured . We are informed , and regret to state the fact , that ten widows and twenty-four children are left completely destitute by this shocking calamity .
Loss of the Delhi . —This ship was 276 tons burthen , built at Shoreham in 1838 . Her loss happened within a few miles of the spot where that of the Elizibeth Rowell took place , through being driven ashore , when she soon went to pieces . The crew providentially were saved by the aid of the ill-fated vessel ' s boats , fcihe was the property of the commander , Mr . Byron , who it is believed insured her . Loss of the Laura . —This unfortunate vessel was lost , with the whole of her hands , in Algoa Biy , during the raging of the hurricane . She went ashore on a hard , sandy soil , the sea running completely over her , and dashing her with great violence on the beach ,
where , in a few hours , she went to pieces , tbe poor fellows perishing with ber . She belonged to her illfated commander , Mr . Crockiby , and was 184 tons burthen , of the port of Chester , where she was built la tbe year 1824 . None ot tbe bodies of the unfortunate crews had up to a late date been washed ashore . Tbe accounts conclude by stating , that the shipping goffered , severely along the coast from the violence of the storm , and it was sadly feared that many other vessels were lost during its existence , but as the intelligence was despatched on tbe day after , there had not been time to collect the most authentic particulars .
