PARR'S LIFE PILLS . THE amazing Cares performed by this Medicine are truly astonishing . Instances are occurring daily of persons who were almost at death ' s door beiDg restored to sound and vigorous health . The following are selected from hundreds of a similar nature . Forwarded by Mr . Mottershead , Chemist , Marketplace , Manchester . u To tho Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I feel it my duty , for the good of suffering mankind , to send you this true statement of the astonishing effects whioh Parr ' s Life Pills hare produced upoa me , and also upon my wife and daughter . Myself and wife have both been strangers to good health for nearly twenty years , until we accidentally heard tell of your Pills , which we hare taken for several weeks , and their effects upon us have been almost miraculous , both now feeling young , strong , and in health ; my daughter , also , has found them equally beneficial . " You may refer any one to me who at all doubts the truths of this , and yon may make any use you think proper of this testimonial . —I remain , in health , ** Your obliged , grateful servant , "James Lkschebin , "Grove-place , Ardwick , "near Manchester . " "Witness—John Whitwobth . " " May 18 , 1841 . " Sir , —I am happy to add my evidence as to the efficacy of Parr ' s celebrated Pills , having been long ailing with a complication of disorders in the Head , Stomach , and Liver , and now , since taking two of your boxes of Pills , I am quite restored to a perfect state of health . You may make whatever use of this you please , only I think the good effects ought to be made public . " I am , Sir , yours , obliged , " Chas . Edwd . Haiidebn . " "Oldbam , April 30 , 1841 . " Sir , —Mrs . Sarah Stans&eld , of Dale-street , Salford , says , after taking two 2 s . 9 d . boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills , she has received more benefit from their use than from any medical advice or medicine she has been able to procure . She has been afflicted with Sick Head-ache and Bilious Complaints for a period o f seven years , and has scarcely passed a day during that time without pain , until taking the above Pills , and now , is happy to say , she is quite recovering . ( Signed ) 11 Saeah Stansfield . " April 17 , 1841 . " " Stalybridge , April 13 th , 1841 . H Sir , —My brother , William Carnson , No . 8 , Johnstrett , Butcher-gate , Carlisle , was cured of Gravel by taking two boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills ; Betty Marey , of Stalybridge , has been cured of a Head-ache of many years standing , by taking three boxes of Parr ' a Life Pills , after spending many pounds with doctors ; John Taylor , a mau who fell into the canal , and afterwards broke out iu blotches all over his body , the doctors could do nothing for him ; a person that had tried the Pills advised him to get some ; he did , and is now perfectly restored , and many others I do not remember . I am much better myself for taking Parr ' s Pills . I will inform you more fully in a short time of more cases . " I remain , dear Sir , " Your obedient servant , " J . Caiwson , u To Mr . Mottershead , Manchester . " SECOND LETTER FROM MB . OSBORNE . " Gentlemen , —I write to inform yon that I have returned on foot from Liverpool , and many of my old friends here are indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity . I mu 3 t also inform you that my brother-in-law . Mr . W . J . Barres , of this town , has , through my wonderful restoration to life and sound health , made use of Parr ' s Life Pills , and their efftscts on him have , if possible , been even more miraculous than on myself . He had suffered from a most distrasiDg asthma , cough , &c , for above seven years , but , after using one box at 2 s . 9 d ., is quite a new being . The moss remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails , whioh had become so diseased that they were quite nnsightly , have been replaced by new and perfect ones . This has been considered by mauy who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part , J have ceased to wonder at any care effected by Old Parr . I continue to enjoy the best of health and spirits , and am yoars very respectfully , * ¦ ' *^ * Late of her Majesty ' s 52 nd Regiment of Foot , discharged incurable by the Regimental Doctors .

The Work ia 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 iispotency , brought on by a delusive habit , ail its attendant sympathies and dangerous 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 for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abase , or syphilitic infection . ' -.. This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 23 . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d and 11 s . ) and the Cordia Balm of Syriapum ( Price 11 s . and 33 s . per bottje ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted withont exposure , aad with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 di , 4 s . 6 d and 1 Is . per Box , 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 , Strictures , Seminal Weakness ^ Deficiency , and all diseasesof 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 eo impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result eithw to neglect or ignorance . In the-^ u ^ ?

What a pity thaV » yonag man , the hope of his country and the darling of tas parents , should be Bnatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , firtal , and which never proves so if properly treated . ¦ ItjBamelanoholy fact that thonsands fall victims to this nomd disease , owing to the unskilfulneas of 'Ufente men ; who , by ( be use of that deadly

As thil Disease is one which is likely to be oontraetw whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but . on tke . contrary , oni infection may scarcely have been removed , whei another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefor * the practitioner requires real judgment in order U treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserro the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can avail himself of the greatest improvement : m modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mild nature , which oau only be made by one in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances .

TCOHMUNICATIOXS OMITTED LAST WES& ]
THE Irish Universal Suf&age Association held their meeting on Sunday last , Mr . W . Woodward in the chair . The minings of the last meeting were read and conitemed , after which the Secretary read an address from the Romaa Catholio Chartists of Barnaley . to the Rev . Patrick Ryan , P . P . of Donabate . He abated that a copy of the address just read and the Rev . Mr . Ryan ' s letters in answer to it had been sent to the Trmman ' s -Journal , but the " liberal" proprietors of that paper bad not yet published them . Seraral letters were read from England , Scotland , and Ireland , the former of which give abundant proofs of the sincerity of the Chartists towards their Irish brethren in bondage , and the latter indicating the apread of Chartist principles by 7 P « nf of circulating the Star . Sere the harmony of
the meeting was disturbed by some of the Loyal Repealers , whom Mr . O'fflggina bad admitted by courtesy , « oe of whom ( Mr . Matthew Tiernan ) said that our looking for Universal Suffrage was sheer nonsense , that General Suffrage or Household Suffrage was what Mr . OtJonneU said was practicable ; that he placed implicit confidence in all Mr . O'Connell *""* said or done , ' or that lie might do fer Ireland ; that Mr . O'Connell had related offioe from the Marquis of Aoglesea's government ; sad asked did not the Chartists of England use physical tone , and did they sot , said he . join the Tories at Nottingham and other towns in England and Scotland . — The Secretary here said a few words contrasting the atanaer m which the last speaker had been heard , * wfco was not a member , and the manner he was
treated at the Com Exchange Repeal Association , aitaoogh he was knows to be a sfenber of that body . MerAtltbuoH , in aelear and dispassionate speech cf eoaaideraMelangth , depicted the miseries of Irishmen , -Vtdeb b * ato&ated to class legislation , and said that Mr . CCkmaeU and those who thought with him , mighl fn * gtvf Hke himself , and not obtain what they might for ; sod , is his opinion , the only effectual and Badkal core for the abotition of the monstrous evils wider which the people groaned , was the adoption of the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Dyot , in a speech that would not have disgraced a senator , spoke to the principle of Universal Suffrage , and the importance of a free press in Dublin , and excluded the idea cf working men paying to an association where they
had no voice , and where their interests never were attended to . Money , said he , is the only representative wanted by Mr . O'Connell . Give him money and be can iispeoae with your presence . The associates have no 'voice in the Bepeal Association . Not so here , where « rery man is on a perfect footing of equality . Mr . "Woed rose and said that he had just retained from SeoOand and England , where he had been on a visit , and he assured the meeting that the people of Scot * Bad , u far as he bad been , were the real friends ef the people of Ireland . He said that in Glasgow more th *** one hundred thousand persons had pledged themselves to petition for a repeal of the legislative union between Qrtat Britain and Ireland . A vote of thanks was passed to the friends of freedom in England and
Scotland for the liberal manner they ministered to the wants cf fte people of Ireland , by sending the two most liberal papers in Qrext Tt ^ t ^ in , namely , the Northern Star , taiScotti ^ Patriot after whieh Mr . O'EHggina reae and said , that he would answer the questions ¦ which were put by the gentleman , who said he was Mr . O'ConneU * friend , and a member of the Loyal Hationa ! Repeal Association of Ireland , namely , " did tbs Chartists cf England not show their hatred of the Irish , by returning a Tory for Nottingham ? and by retsnziQg Tories in every place they bad power to do so afethfl late elections ? And was not Mr . O'ConnelTs plan of general suffrage superior to Universal Suffrage , asd all other plans ? Could not the people go and vote in several places if Universal Suffrage were , adopted ?"
To the first question , be ( Mr . CHiggins , ) would reply , that the Chartists of Nottingham took Mr . CConneli ' s advice to the Irish electors , which was when they could sot get a pledged Repealer to support the next best The Chartists of "England abhor the infamous , atrocious Whig Poor Law Amendment Act , an act which treats poverty a * a crime of greater mag-Eifcude than murder , robbery , and rape ; because a man guilty of the latter shocking , revolting crimes , wonld be deemed innocent until found guilty by a jury of his country , whereas , on the other hand , the moment that misfortunes drive an honest , sober , good man , to seek even a temporary asylum in ft onion workhouse , his sead usbxved , and a felon ' s dress is put on him . If he has a wife and children , they are all separated , never to
steet again , unless some good fortune releases them from the workhouse , and in the event of . death , which frequently and m )»^ wnitnt % ) j j happens in those dans of fcomau misery and suffering , the bodies are given up for dissection to some neighbouring hospital , for young aorgeo&s to practice upon . Now , the English Chartists always looked upon this Act of Parliament as one of the greatest grievances of modern invention ; and the electors of Nottingham knew right well that Mr . Walter , of the Times , the Tory candirtatn , was the consistent opponent of fo't flagitious Act . His adversary , the W&ig , was the advoeite of that bill , and the Chartists of Nottingham supported Mr . Walter , not cecaose he was a Tory , but because he was the eonaisteat opponent of the Poor Laws Amendment Act .
And even sow , when the Tories are in power , he is opposed to them , and will continue to oppose and expose them , nnlesa they repeal that Act With regard to the second question . The Chartiits did sot return Tories , as such , bat they did return them in aome places on the same grounds , and for the same reasons , tiat they returned Mr . Walter . Besides they -were so foolish as to return their own friends , when * ever they could do so , in opposition to both Whig and Tory . The plan they adopted was a very judicious one , and one which we should follow at our elections . They made the first effer to the Whig candidate to split their votes with him , provided his friends would split with the Chartist candidate . " Begone , ye torch and dagger men , you midnight assassins , " - said the Whig . to the
Well , they made a «* h ^ i » t offer Tory , ¦ w ho said , I do not like your principles , but you have a right to fee heard , and to send as many members as you can to xepresent your views , wants , and feelings , in the House of Commons , and I will split ¦ with you . " Tae result of this wise and sensible policy on the part of the Chartists is , that they have upwards of forty friends sad advocates in the present House cf Commons , whereas tiey had but three in the last one ; and what is still better , these forty English members are pledged to extend the same rights , privileges , and immunities to Ireland , which they hope to obtain for England ; in fact , to treit Ireland , in every respect , as if it were an English county . Does this look like hatred of Ireland ? lNo . no . ) As to thediSeranee between
Universal and General Suffrage , it is such a miserable , paltry , p&ttyfogging quibble , that it is unworthy of a sericus reply , but , said Mr . O"Hi £ gin ? , 1 will give the gentleman who has asked the question , josi one month to tell Si the exact difference between the two terms . Universal Suffrage always bore the same clear and simple meaning , which is , that every male inhabitant of this empire of twenty-one years of age , cf sane mind and mot convicted of a felonious crime , by a jury , should have the right to Tote at the election of a Member of Parliament . Now , this is Universal Suffrage ; and if ire had it , - « ho would be the members for the County and the City of Dublin ? ( Hear , hear , not'West and Grogaa , and Hamilton and Taylor . ) As to the people Toting in great numbers in several places at the eime
election , the accusation comes with a very bad grace bom those who profess to be the friends of public liberty , and who declare that the Irish people are the ]> eat and most virtuous in the world , when it answers a purpose , and then tarns round and accuses them of the basest of crimes , when the accusation answers a different purpose . But to do away with all caril and to obviate 6 very apprehended difficulty whether leal or imaginary , the People ' s Charter mikes ample provision , and the original of that Charter is to be found in JaaSe's History of Ireland , voliv . and page 414 .. It was copied from that book or from some oiher Irish book tfj Mr . O'Connell , and handed by him to some memfaexM of the Working Men ' s Association in London ,
desiring them , at the time , to agitate for it and for nothing less , and at the same time , saying that " He who is not a Chartist is either a knave who profits by the evils of misrule , or a fool upon whom facts and reason make no impression . " ( Great cheering . ) The Charter provides that All the elections in Great Britain sod Ireland , ^ W 1 fftn nw tfft at the same hour and condads before fire o ' clock the same day . ( Hear , bear . ) How could the people rote in several places under such circumstances ? Mr . O'Higgins concluded by hoping that he badgiven satisfactory answers to the questions , and resumed his seat . Mr . Clarke was called to the chair , ""* th «» v « 'were given to fofl Chairman , when the Tioftini seperat&L

London , and to determine tha propriety of aiding them in their present etruggfa . " An . opejpatim BMttOti , from London ; will address the meeting , sod explain ttt # cas 3 of the workmen . —Working men , and ; flneiaiej * of despotism i the cause of the London mwms is 7 our . cause They have struck , not to procure an advance of wages but to resiit the intolerable tyranny of a taskmaster Allen , the foreman of the above works , a man whose coarse and brutal nature unfits him to govern any , but those sunk so low in the scale of humanity as , tar be governed only by the whip of the slave-driver . Such a man is a disgrace to such an employment , and utterly unfit to superintend a body of intelligent British working men . Chair to be taken at eight o'clock . " In accordance with the above call , a publio meeting was held on Tuesday
evening—Mr . James Yovvq , an operative stonemason , was unanimously called to the chair . He observed that whatever difference of opinion might exist npon other ¦ objects amongst the capitalists , they all agreed in one thing , that it was their duty to wring as mush wealth as possible from working men ; and , if this could n « t be accomplished by other means , they wouldnot scruple to coerce them to effect their purpose . The present meeting , however , was called , not to enable a portion of working men to maintain wages , but to convey to those engaged in resisting a system of degrading tyranny the assurance that they had the sympathy , and , if necessary , should also have the support of that meeting . ( Loud cheering . ) Ho would not , however , enter into any details ; these would be best communicated by a friend who had felt the system in operation . He , therefore , had much pleasure in calling upon Mr . Alexander
Wilson-Mr . Wilson ( who is one of the eighteen Masons that carried the National Petition into the House , ^ of Commons ; then stood forward , and w& received with great cheering . He commenced by observing that it was not his intention to attempt what might be called a speech , but he could tell them a tale of facts , which he would challenge any man to deny . His presence in the country would not have been necessary , had it not been for the conduct of a corrupt press , in giving insertion to a tissue ol falsehoods in favour of the masters , and refusing on any conditions to publish a fair statement of the case between the workmen and Messrs . Grisseli and Peto their employer * . That abominable paper the Times , and others had been guilty of such conduct to * ards them ; but , whatever might be their
perversion of the case , ha could assure the meeting that he had been nin » months under that abominable monster Allen . Dating that period be bad seen him guilty of innumerable acts of tyranny . - He had seen him abuse men every way superior to him in physical and moral character for no offence whatever , be bad treated them worse than he could treat a " mongrel dog . " ( Laughter , and cheers . ) His conduct was indeed most intolerable—so much so that he and his brother workmen generally , went in a morning fully prepared to take up their tools and m * wTy In such a state of mental agony and uncertainty were they that they never knew in the morning whether the tyrant Allen would allow them to work their day out Be " sack'd" the men at any time , without a moment ' s warning , and without any just cause of offence . [ Cheers . ) He would relate a few facts , illustrative of his character and conduct After they struck , they sent a letter to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests , to make
them acquainted with their grievances . They stated that they were prepared to pro ye the following cases . The first was that of an individual who . had been engaged on the works , and bad the misfortune to get his leg broken by a fall from the scaffolding . He was off work some time , and whan he recovered he came bick to the works , and thought that though not able to work hard , thtre might yet be Borne light work which he would be allowed to work at to procure bread for his family . He was not able to walk well , but still knowing that be had received his injuries at the works , he thought that , from the common feelings of tumsnity , they would not exact too much from Mm at first However , he was mistaken . No sooner had he commenced ¦ work than Allen came , and finding him at it , and unable to walk without limping , thus unfeelingly insulted him by ordering him to take up his tools and go , as he " did not want such d—d hobbling fellows about the woika . " ( loud cries of «• Shame . " ) The next case was one of a workman who learnt that
his wife was very ill , and not expected to live . He wished to be present at her dying bed , and accordingly , Allen not being on the works at the time , went to the under-foreman , and asked his leave , which was immediately granted . Well , when the man returned , Allen came to him , and asked where he had been . He told him , when the brute said , " Then go , and die with your wife , and be d—d to you ' . " ( Shame , shame . ) Another case was a poor fellow who had been tramping about for three months out of work ; he applied , and was set on , but , owing to his exhausted state , he ha * not been more * Mn a few hours at work , when he was taken bad , and was compelled to leave work . He was off three days , and when he returned Allen told him to " go back , he wanted Bound men . " A young man ,
belonging to Manchester , received intelligence that hifl mother had died ; be asked whether they would allow him to go down to her funeral , and make some arrange * ments about the disposal of some Uttle property . He was ask « d how long be would require ; he answered about three weeks . This was refused ; be was informed that if he went he might stop away . The young man then agreed to take a week , but this also was refused , yet the men advised him to go , and resolved that if be was discharged they would all strike . This was determined at a general meeting of the workmen . No sooner did Allen hear of this , than be diaehuged the man who presided at the meeting and six others . The man went When be returned , Allen was to * cunning to manifest bis malice by discharging him immediately , but he found
means to gratify his nature by setting him to work at the roughest work about the building . The men observed this , and resolved that they would not allow the poor fellow to be thus trampled on . They addressed s letter to QrLssell and Peto , stating that the conduct of Allen was past all endurance , and they would not in future work under him . Messrs . and P ., however , replied that they would not be dictated to , and that they , the men , might think themselves honoured in receiving an answer to their communication . The men wrote again and advised the masters to reconsider the matter as it might become a more serious affair than they anticipated . Messrs . G . and P . then consented to receive a deputation from the men , when they promised that the men should not in future have cause to
complain . Ailen , they said , was a " rough diamond" bnt a good one . The men consented to go to work again , and they had a calm for about four weeks , until the following circumstance occurred . The works are carried on simultaneously , and Allen anxious to get as much woik as possible from the men , devised the following scheme . He kept the men working sbout saall jobs , until be bad as many stones up as would enable all to work regularly on , all round the building , calculating that by this arrangement , the men beiog spirited , would work against e&eh other , and make slaves of themselves to enrich tfceir masters ; but the men , with bnt few exceptions , resolved not to do so , ytt , a few ware such fools as to work like horses to beat their fellow-workmen . These got their work done seoner , and Allen
¦ when he found this resolved to compsl the other workmen to work at the same rate ; he , therefore , ' sacked " a number who had not producsd the same quantity , and bullied and blustered about the works , in fact , It was evident that no matter what the mental and moral character of the workmen , the only man who would be respected by Allen was the man who produced the most work , no matter to Allen if he ruined his constitution by it He might go to the devil , or the dogs for aught he eared . There was one individual in particular who -was guilty of this folly and meanness ; he tore away lite an old collier ' s horse—( laughter )—the consequence was , he was done before the others . The men considering tMs system of chasing an abominable one , and knowing that they had done , and were willing
to do a fair day ' s work , met and resolved to fine those ¦ who Bhould be guilty of it They did not mind a reasonable difference in the quantity ; they did not wish to bring all down to the lowest standard , they only wished to restrain that excessive spirit of rivalry ; they therefore determined to fine those who should be guilty of it That individual was ordered to be fined , and was fined . This gave Allen an opportunity of breaking out again ; he accused the men of conspiring to rob the masters , and swore he would discharge 100 of them by Saturday night This they , the men , could prevent , and they determined to do it . They -wrote to ttie masters , and informed them they could no longer trort under Allen , accordingly they all struck . Ha ( the speaker ) knew that he was a rational being , and
ought to be treated as Each . Allen did not know or care ought of this , and therefore he had left him ; and , by the blessings of God , never would return to work unaer such a tyrant The men had an interview with the masters : the latter -were asked whether the men had not been doing a fair daj ' s work ? whether they had not been industrious and attentive T Mr . Grisseli said they had . He ( the speaker ) teen asked what they wanted ? Yet afu ? this , and putting up on the works placards , acknowledging the men were industrious , the masters had the folly and audacity to represent through the newspaper press that the men w « re icdolent and unwilling to work . The speaker then observed he mast give them one or two additional facts . At ths Parliament works , there was no water to be had by the men ; but a beer boy came round once a day . This beer was supplied by a relative of Allen ; the men were compelled to buy of him , no otker beerseller being admitted to tha works . The haer was often mo
wretchedly bad that a pig would have run away from it ( Loud laughter . } There was a class of men employed who were , however too poor to buy beer ^—here w « re the labourers earning' about 10 s , or 12 s . per week . Well there was a pump in the Parliament Yard , dose by , to which those fellows were wont to resort to quench their thirst ; but Allen , when he learnt this , had the baseness to procure a lock and get the pump locked down , thus compelling them either to buy his relative ' s bad beer or leave their thirst unquenched . ( Loud cries of " shame . " ) One morning about fourteen men were standing at the gates a little before six o ' clock , getting each a cup of coffee from a poor old woman who earned a livelihood by the sale of it Allen came up , and without making any observation went in and shut the gates , the bell then rang asd a few minutes elapsed before the men could get in . They immediately went to their work , but Allen came round and having recognised nine of the men , he ordered them to take up their too ^ i and walk o £ He might have struck them off a

quarter of a day , bnt he discharged them entirely sad without any wamin * . . \ " Shame , shame . " ) Mr . W . then described ^« re » t eaeerU « Brf which M essrs . Grisfcell and Peto werbmaking itt all part * pf the country to get men , and the manner in which the miserable creatures who had come were treated on their arrival , and having made some excellent observations upon ^ the bad spirit shewn by the masters , expressed his conviction that from the London masons they would not get twenty men to go in * however long the struggle might last H * then read a > pl&eafd shewing ( bat the masons enjployed at Wotlwlch Dock Yard anil at Nelson ' s monnment bad resolved to strike also . ( Cheers . ) The press had stated that these men wanted to strike , but the union would nob let theft at first , and jidw Jthe press
stated that these men had been cdmpetledto strike by order of the union , which was utterly untrue . The union had nothing to do with it He thought there would now be a vacancy for Allen , he might be sent to Woolwich Dock Yard , and certainly there was not another place which he was more fit for . ( Laughter and chests . ) He was sorry to find thatMtCWaiell appeared determined to screen and retain Alien . He < &ris » ell bad stated to some of the men that be would not keep a foremaa . who could aot keep his workmen under 4 s complete a state of discipline as that which prevailed in an army . But the men had replied that they considered
themselves rational beings , and had minds top enlightened to be brought under any thing like the discipline of an army . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . W . then commented npon the conduct o f the press , and gave Mia Weekly Dispatch a severe and well-merited lashing , denouncing it as utterly unworthy the support of working men . He then read a placard shewing that the joiners of London had resolved not to support it , and concluded by observing that he came out after deliberation , and would stand firm ; he knew they could not be defeated now , because they never had a better cause , and . they were all determined to stand to it Mr . W . then sat down amid great and continued cheering .
Mr . Barclat ( a mason ) then moved the first resolution : — " That It is the opinion of this meeting that the eonduct of Alien , the foreman of GrisBll and Peto , has been most tyrannical and unjust , towards the workmen under his authority , and this meeting therefore consi ders that the said workmen were fully justifiable in requesting- his discharge , and on refusal in quitting their employment * ' - Mr . Smith , another mason , in an excellent address , seconded the resolution . ¦ . Mr . Willu MS also supported it in a long address , during which he was much cheered , but our limits will not pesnit ustogive his nor any other of the subsequent speakers' excellent addresses . Toe second resolution was moved by Mr . Tat LOR , seconded by Mr . Bago , and ably supported by Mr . BlKKS : —
" That considering tha * the strike of the aforementioned workmen has been called fertk , not from a desire to obtain advanced wages , but from a determination to resist tyranny which it would have been disgraceful to submit to , this meeting feels , that the said workmen are deserving its sympathy and support , and therefore resolves to aid them by every means in its power , and urgently recommends the same to all who value manly independence of character . " Both resolutions were tarried by acclamation . Mr . Binns moved , and Mr . Bsa go seconded a vote of censure upon the Wetkly Dispatch , and a resolution that it was undeserving the support of working men , which was carried with great cheering . A liberal subscription was then entered into to aid the workmen on strike , although
Mr . Wilson , the delegate , stated there was no lack of funds—the object of the meeting being mainly to make the people acquainted with the merits of the workmen's case . The meeting then dispersed .
