THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loBs of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphiltio disease ; and ib calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the coustitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a . state of anxiety for the remainder of life , The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the exoited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect ef other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ! the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at theory soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abased powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadfu evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to uccessful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which ia intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &c . As nothing can be better adapted to her and nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness of Bpirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of tho female constitution , tho softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . : i Sold in Bottles , price 11 s . each , or the quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 s ., by which one 11 s . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ., Surgeons , 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham .

The Five Pound cases , ( the purchasing of which will be ! a saving of one pound twelve shillings ;) may be had 1 as usual at 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , and 4 , Great j Charles-street , Birmingham ; and Patients in the ! country who require a course of this admirable me-¦ dioine , should send Five Pounds by letter , which I will entitle them to the full benefit of such advan-1 tagp . . . . ! May be had of all Booksellers , Druggists , and 'Patent Medicine Venders in town and country ' throughout the United Kingdom , the Continent of Europe and America . ! Messrs . PERRY expect when consulted by letter , I the usual fee of one pound , without which , no notice i whatever can be taken of the communication . : Patients are requested to be as minute as possible I in the deta-1 of their cases , as to the duration of the j complaint , the symptoms , age , habits of living , and i general occupation . Medicines can be forwarded i to any part of the world ; no difficulty can occur , I as they will be securely packed , and carefully protected from observation . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 23 . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per box . ( Observe the signature of R . and L . PERRY and Co . on the outside of each wrapper ) are well known 1 throughout Europe and America , to be tho most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every ' stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , inc'uding Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only inrocent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal Taint , being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men ; who , by the use of tba : deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulcerations , blotches on tho head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sore throat , diseased nose , with noctural pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death put * a period to their dreadful sufferings . , Messrs' . Perry and Cot > Surgeons , may be consulted as usual at 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , and 4 , Great Charles-street , ( foHr doors from Easy-row , ) Birmingham , punctually , from Eleven in the Morning until Eight in the Evening , and on Sandays from Eleven till One .

Perry and Co . to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , after all other means have proved ineffectual . N . B . Country Drnggists , BookselJera , Patent Medicine Venders , and every other Shopkeeper can be supplied with any quantity of Perry ' s Purifying Specifio Pills , and Cordial Balm of Syriaeuin * with the usual allowance to the Trade , by most of the principal Wholesale Patent Medicine Hoofiea in London .

Mr . W . J .

The most remarkable ; part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails , which had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly , have been replaced by new and perfect ones .

VAlitTABLB WOKKS . Just published , price ^ V l 2 mo * bound in cloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOG ^ AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILLThe Lessons , in this Worky are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore of all those hair's-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisidns in Analogy , which , if at all useiui , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work trom 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 prinoiple , 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 . ; .: ¦;• ¦ ., ' ¦ . ¦'¦ . . . . - . - ¦ . ' / - ' ., ; . . ; . - ; . ; - ¦ ,- ; "C - ' -: / - ( .-. ¦ - ' ¦• _ In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better tban a heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Use of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , ia a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Selected from a host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the public estimation in which this Work is holden : — - . '' Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with abUity 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 ef the English language than can be found in some very"elaborate works .

MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE AFFLICiED WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OR SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEUMATISM , AND NERVOUS OE SEXUAL DEBILITY . . MR . M . WILKINSON , SURGEON , &c 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Opposite East Brook Chapel , Bradford , HAYIN G devoted biaBtudies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal pf those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructivei habit , and to the successful treatment of V 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 one personal visit , will receive such 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 ~ eur « is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases where other praotititionera have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or . hindrance from business , v will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . A 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 cause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance ia not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must foe achieved to prevent a return of the aisease , 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 , ana have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction r for , unfortunately , there are hundredd who annually fall victims to the ignorant use of Mercury and other dangerous remeaies , 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 , tho 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 ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the 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 . ' Mr . W ;' s invariable rule : is to give a Card to each of his Patients as a guarantee for oure , which he pledges himself to perform j or return his fee .

BELFAST . —Our meetings in this placa are cor - tinned ¦ weekly , and , considering the determined . opposition which we receive , onr principles are mating rapid progress . Some individuals are joining oni society every-week ; and thousands -who stand apart from us are deeply interested in onr welfare , and heartily praying for the ultimate and complete triumph of our measures over both Whig and Tory . The papers of Belfast -which profess to be liberal are banded together to beat us down—not by meeting our arguments , but by > rilifying our our motives and pouring their vile vituperations against us , because \ re will not descend from the lef cy position we now occupy , and unite with them for a mere repeal of the Com laws . We contend for the Charter , and nothing short of the Charter , and
hence those professed liberators of the people hold us ¦ up 1 *> pablic -view as the enemies of mankind , Tefcelfl Hg * ' *> g * - the Government , and disturbers of the peace of society ; while the Tory papers use us as tools in their handi to beat down the Whigs , and in a sort of Illusive gibing , represent the Chartists as being able to OOHVert the Corn Law repealers to embrace the doctrines contained in the People ' s Charter , which the Tories ? ery justly say , the Chartists " represent as containing more healing virtues than all the Whig-Radicals ever possessed , and better calculated to alleviate the distresses of the mechanic and labourer than all the freetrade nostrums that had ever yet been propounded . " Thus it will be seen that we have to contend every inch of advance we make against the united opposition both
of Whig and Tory ; for it ia clear that the object of ihe Tories in giving us the preference to the Whiga is merely to show that the power of the Whigs is so little that it is not able to stand the resistance of the Chartists , and therefore the aristocratic Tory- faction have nothing to fear ; but the fact is they do fear us ; they feel the corruption in their own citadel , and they behold their ranks thinning every day , and they perceive also that ours is constantly on the increase ,, and all the bustle , cor . fosion , and banter which they are at present making just reminds us of the cheek of consumption in a dying pat : eiit , it often flushes and looks healthful for a moment ; or it is rather like the powerful and convulsive pulsations of the heart , after every symptom of life has left the extremities . The
class-legislators have lost the confidence of the people , and hence theyrage and fame from thepress , their head quarters , and pour out their slander upon those who would instruct the people in the way oi legally making themselves tLe supreme law-makers in our "Commons * House of Parliament The Corn Law Repealers advertised for a pnblic meeting to be held in the town of Newtownards , in the county Down , on the 21 st ult . This was the first meet- , ting of the kind held in Ireland since Sir R . Peel introduced his sliding scale . I repaired to the place of Bluster , and remained a spectator till their resolutions were read and a petition moved and read , which was to be presented to the House of Commons by Sharman Crawford , Esq ., M . P ., praying the Government to blot
cut and for evtr from the Statute Book cf Eagland , all taxes upon food . Before this was put to the meeting frem the chair , I ascended the platform and requested a hearing , but the Chairman and most of the platform gentry refused to suffer me to speak , although they had been railing all day against intoleration and all monopoly . I insisted upon having a hearing , and' a very great bustle ensued ; the assembled multitude cried out "hear him , bear him I" I was , however , forced from the platform , and compelled to tako my stand on a lot of timber which was piled up on the side of the large yard where the meeting was held . The . whole multitude turned from t * ie platform to hear what 1 had got to say , and left the platform gentlemen to carry their intended petition to the lower House , without giving
their consent or dissent to the measure . I commenced to shew the people the inefficiency cf a repeal of the Cam Laws to satisfy the distress of the nation . I read abstracts from the National Petition , and explained to them the nature of the People ' s Charter . I shewed them that a repeal of the Corn Laws only gave the people a small portien of that debt which the Government justy owed the people , and after a long address , which was received with avidity by all present ; I moved as an amendment to the business of that day , " That the whole Charter be contended for by the peeple , and the National Petition adopted for signature , " and my amendment was carried nem . coo . ; before I left the place , I received invitations to go to Bangor , Grey Abbey , and Postoferry , to give lectures on the Charter ,
ana the whole people declared it to be the best measure which had ever been proposed for the good of the" community . I entered into arrangements that day with the people of Newtownards to return to that town on Saturday last , the 5 th inst , to hold a public meeting , and take with me petition sheets to receive signatures to the National Petition . Reporters from the several papers of Belfast , were at tke above matting , and the Vindicator , which professes to be the most liber&l , railed against me in a paragraph cf peif ^ ct libel , but after considerable exertions on my part and the part of my friends together with the fear of a prosecution for libel , the Editor published a letter of mine last Wednesday week , contradicting the false statements contained In bis journal of that day week . I went to
Newtownards , on last SiUrrday , according to B-ppoiatment . I was a stranger and alone , and the authorities combined to prevent me from holding a public meeting , but I persevered , and in defiance of all opposition , I did hold the meeting , and this was iae first public meeting which has been held in the North t-f Ireland , except our weekly meetings which axe always" open \ o alL After my return from Newtownards . I wrote the following letter to the Editor of the VinduxJbor , but he refused to give it insertion in his columns , and I went to the office and requested my manuscript to be returned from the file of his dead lettere , \ hereby send it to jou just as I sent it to him , and request its insertion . After this the pnblic will see how the Liberals ef this place treat us : —
To the Editor o / iAe Findicalor . Sir , —In cempliance with the request of thepeople of 2 fe « tDwnards , after the Anti-Corn Law meeting held there on the 21 st ult I went to that town on List Satur . ' ay , and having , previous to that time received a letter from Mr . Matthew Mayes , informing me that my " address on last Monday week had been misrepresented and my motives belied to a wonderful extent . Not oaly the papers bn * the tongues of envy and slander had been very busy ever since , and he concluded therefore that I could not obtain a peaceable and respectable hearing ; " and , said he , "lam credibly informed that if yo * would come » : » harangue the people , the police have orders to apprehend you . " Ij consequence of this Mr . Mayes refused to take any part in convening a public meeting .
I . howevcr , on Saturday last , repaired to Newtownards , ¦ weni to the "bellman , engaged him to give publicity to my intention cf holding a public meeting in the MaTkttfeqasre , precisely at four o ' clock . I had made all the preliminary arrangements which I considered necessary before I took any steps to convene the meeting . I had , oaiay arrival , waited on the Chief of the Police , in the News-Toom , and obtained his liberty to" call a public meeting ; bnt , to do him justice , I must say , he refused to grant me any protection , and told me that he would take care t j " have some person there to watch what I would say , and if I should commit myself he would immediately hold me responsible . "
-While the bellman was publishing the meeting , the police authorities came aEd told him that he was acting illegally , and rtquesisd him to appear in the office cf Lord Londonderry . In one hour ' s notice , I went with him , and some discussion ensaed , which ended in my unalterable determination t j h » ld a public meeting in the Market-square , at four o ' clock , and 5 f the meeting should tarn oui to be illegal , I was willing to abide by aTl the coB-sequscces . - About ten nrauies past four , multitudes cf people from aB-guartea cf tbe town began to assemble themselves in the Market-square , and soma individual whom I know not , kindly provided me with a large table , on which 1 placed myself , and began my address by soliciting the assembled multitudes to feehave themselves
with becoming decorem , and listen to me till I had told them of Borne of the grievances under which the people laboured , and if I should differ from any individual present in my descriptions cf " Ireland ' s wrongs andthe remedies for redressing those wrongs , " I would then jstientiy hear the objection ( f such individual and then reply to his speech , and pat it to the vote of the people who waseonriiired more correct , me' or " my op - poser , sad should thepesple decide against me I would silently sink into the minority . In the < ou . « e cf my address I showed the people that we , ( the ^ people of Ireland ) laboured under mistaken aotions of the great mass of the ^ English people , and often chjwgt-d the wbole of ths English people with & crime -which -was perpetrated only by the privileged order of that people ; and ± bat in carrying into effect those laws which taxed the food upon tke -consumers , and all the other fcad laws under which the nation groaned , they were aided and sfcettsd by the aristocracy of our own land
sad thai it was therefore unjust to charge the whole people of England with the infamous deeds of a few individuals , who cared no more for the misery oT the mechanic and labourer of England tfcao they did for the same order of individnals in our ewn country . I showed them also that it was the determination of the great majority ef the English people te aid and assist their Irish brethren , in carrying into a law those measures which would give Ireland her rights as well as England her rights ; and I showed them that Daniel OConnell at a reaent meeting in the Corn Exchange , Dublin , had advocated Manhood Suffrage , and other four points of ifae Charter contended for by the English radicals , which would moit nnequiToeaUy induce honest measures from our legislature . To be brief , I contended for the people to have the supreme power in appointing members to represent them in the Commons' House of Parliament , and to make those lairs by which the whole empire was governed .
I will not intrude farther , because the limits of a letter would not contain a tithe cf the adores * which I delivered ^ ! spoke upwards of two hours and was recsi ^^ jMnpfcaous applause . I read tae National "«*»? i »'; 3 n ^ ch : ^ Sf adopted for signature , and-hund ^^^^ m ^^^^ jrign that Petition . In short , the r ^^ <«; « el |<>* tards evinced a manly and heroic ^ detomjffii ^^^ a ^ lreland her rights in despite of aJltha'maenlaBap ^ of Tory despotism and aristocratic Kg © fey « : - ; . ¦ 'li , ' aBti -.,- - After I had-eonelofled , I challenged discussion , and no person seemed giisposed to dispute aught I had advanced . I then concluded by putting it to the vote

DfTBUK . —Irish TTwiVEKSAt Suffrage Association . —At the usual meeting on Sunday week , Mr . Rafter In the chair , the venerable chairman , ( who may be justly entitled the Nestor of Chartism in Ireland , ) observed that il was with great delight he presided over them on the present occasion . When all looked gloom and difficulty , he and a few others had endeavoured to keep alive the embers of true liberty in their city , which had been nearly extinguished by the venal breath of time-serving and place-hunting demagogues . That smouldering fire bad since been fanned into a flame at once bright , intense , and increasing , by the energies of their worthy , prudent , Mr . O'Higgins . Many of those who had come to revile , to mock , and sneer , had their convictions reached , and
understandings pierced by the arrows of truth in that room ; and , however unpleasant and painful the friendly wound at first , they had found that Chartism was the tone political inoculation , which -would prevent society from suffering under the dangerous virus of faction , and bearing on its countenance the foul stains and indentions of unreasoning partisanship . ( Cheers . ) He had also to congratulate the meeting on having secured the valuable services of Mr . Dyott as their secretary— ( hear , hear , and cheers . ) That gentleman was now well known to them , and equally well known to their enemies—( hear . ) He did not merely confine himself to thereutinebusiness of his office ; but when occasion demanded , he feared not to enter the lists with the political Goliaths of the Com Exchange . The Lord
Mayor's clerk , and his " head pacificator , " had lately heard from him in a manner they would not readily forgive , or lightly forget —( hear , hear . ) He need not enforce upon them the necessity of decorum and order ; they had got a sounder political training than to interrupt any gentleman , whether he differed from them or not—nor would they lend themselves to the disgraceful violence resorted ¦ to by their " non-physical" force assailants—( hear . ) After the minutes had been read , and several new members admitted , Mr . Dyott , in an eloquent and powerful appeal , drew their attention to the late brutal proceedings of the deluded Irish Repealers in Manchester , who are paid blood-money by the Corn Law Leaguers , to attack and murder the Chartists . Three hundred of them , armed
withironcrowbars , hatchets , bludgeons , and paving stones , in compact and captained order , bad fallen en a dense and unarmed crowd , severely injured Mr . O'Connor , mutilated the Rev . Mr . Scholefleld , and dreadfully injured numerous others of the Chartist party Here was physical force with a witness ! Will that indescribable nondescript , Tom Steele , now denounce his - brother pacificators for their bloody intentions and deeds ? Not he , indeed . ' What will Mr . O'Niell Daunt say to this attempt at massacre ? Not a word . Will Tom Arkins glory in the fact that it was a cast clothes man who headed the onslaught ? To ba sure be will ! How could a Repailer do wrong , and « f what value were the lives of . poor Chartists f He concluded by submitting the following resolution to the meeting : —
" That we , the members of this Association , have heard with less of surprise than indignation of the recent murderous attack on Feargos O'Connor , E < q ., and the Chartists of Manchester . For the wretched agents in this disgraceful affair , we express pity and sorrow ; we blush at the fact , that the majority of them are Irishmen , and deplore the besotted ignorance in which they must be steeped when they thus blindly raise their hands against their true friends , the advocates of the righto of labour , and the assertors of the political and social privileges of the poor , and we hereby offer onr strongest sympathy and support to the numerous victims suffering through the ignorance , and by the violence of our misguided contrymen . " Mr . O-Higgins seconded the resolution . After Mr . Dyotfs
speech , he had only to ask them if a few Englishmen had attacked the repealers' idol thus in the Corn Exchange , what would have satisfied his adherents?—immolation , and nothing Bhort of it , of their assailants . Had the Chartists arisen in their might , what would have become of the handful of repeal ruffians ? Butnotwithstanding the lying calumnies ef their enemies , the followers of Mr . O'Connor were better instructed and more reasonable than their ignorant and vicious traducers . The resolution was carried by acclamation . Mr . O'Connell ( not Dan ) made a very sensible and fluent speech ; he said , as a working man , he had the best opportunity of observing the current of the common people's thoughts , and he could assert , from experience and observation , that the people were now pro-disposed to adopt the Charter . It was like the
temperance movement , they looked on it first with suspicion , because it did not proceed from their immediate leaders ; but the moment one in whom they had confidence took it up , it progressed with miraculous speed . The Irish acted more from impulse than reason . They were More volatile than reflective ; but as reading was diffused , thinking would become general ; and when they would think , he had sufficient reliance on the good sense of Ma countrymen to believe that they would think justly anil adopt as true the principles which gave every man the birthright of freedom—( cheers . ) After several other excellent observations from several members , the Chairman received the usual vote ef thanks , and the meeting adjourned till the 10 th of April , in order te allow the more religiously inclined an opportunity of closely attending to their religious duties during the residue of this solemn
season . ' TRURO , Cornwall . —This locality has sustained a loss in the services of its active and zealous secretary , Mr . Longmaid , whose consistent adherence to the Charter , as the only efficient remedy for national evils and eschewing of Whig nostrums , has marked out as an o > -jecfc of persecution by the liberal middle classes—the parties with whom Messrs . Philp and Co ., would now unite the people—that he is compelled to leave the neighbourhood in quest of employment elsewhere . Mr . E . Rowe , of No . 1 , Castle-street , Truro , has been appeinted secretary , to whom all communications must hEccefoita be aadressed . PAT . KTiTTH . —Mr . Irfjwery lectured in the Freemasons'Hill , on Monday in last week , on the necessity of union between the middle and the working classes .
BAKNOCKBURN .-The National Petition was adopted here at a public meeting , on Wednesday in last week . The Scotch Petition was proposed for adoption . In the discussion , eloquent and convincing speeches were made in support of the great National , by Messrs . A . Duncan and Jenkins . The National was carried almost unanimously . SHEFFIELD . —At a public meeting on Monday evening in last week , after the unanimous adoption of strong resolutions on the subject of the Manchester outrages , and Mr . Harney ' s leUer to the Chartists ef Sheffield , and Mr . OUey ' s reply were read , tie
following resolution was moved by Mr . Edwin Gill , seconded by Mr . Evisson , and carried unanimously — "That this meeting having heard Julian Harney ' s letter to the Chartists cf Sheffield , and Mr . Otleys reply thereto , and considering the charges that have been slanderously circulated against Mr . Hamey , are contemptible , because ucf aunded and uutrue , we hereby express our perfect confidence in that gentleman , hoping he will pursue the same consistent course he has hitherto done for the attainment of the rights of the people , and we pledge ourselves , that while he agitates for the Charter and nothing less , to support him , despite of open enemies or covert foes . "
BIBOT . NGHAW . —Delegate Meeting . —At a meeting of tae council tae following resolution was unanimtU 3 ly agreed to : —Resolved , "That a delegate meeting of tbe trades in Birmingham be called , for the purpose of unUing the u . any thousands that are favourable to the principles of the People ' s Charter , and that each manufactory be requested by circular to send a delegate to tae forthcoming meeting , to be holden on Monday , the 21 st of March , at the National Association Eoom , in Astoc-street , the chair to be taken at esven o ' clwjk precisely . " Brethren in political bondage , the time is at last coma when it behoves you and every lover of his . country to stand forward and aid in rescuing the land of his birth from degradation and ruin . A nation that o « nld once boast of being " the admiration
of the world , and the envy if surrounding nations" is rapidly on the decline , and threatens shortly to become like Tyre , Sidon , Carthage , Babylon and Rome—known only by name . At the late meeting in the Town Hall , ten thousand working men declared themselves Chartists , and if public opinion is so favourable to our views —and we know that nothing ean be done without unity —we hope that yoo will use your utmost exertions to unite with the men who . uave laboured so long and so hard iu the cause cf liberty , and who are determined , so long as public opinion . sanctions their conduct , to stand by them for the Pet-pies Cnarter to the last . Fellow working men , in 183 2 you made the
