There are certain Tiabits contracted in the earlier periods of life , more particularly in barge seminaries , alike affecting both se * es , which produce premature decay of the vital powers . To " all" we address ourselves , confident in our own resources for permanent and speedy relief , and ultimate cure . Being well acquainted with the diseases incident to females , their causes and effects , we would impress on their rnindc the necessity of early seeking medical advice ; and when they look around the churchyards , and number the years inscribed on each tombstone of some dear friend dej » arted in the flower of youth and beauty , through neglect , they will feel it a duty to themselves , their parents , friends , and , above all , their Maker , to endeavour to prolong that life which he gave them for useful and beneficial purposes . In all cases of general debility , from whatever causes proceeding ; indigestion , cough , loss of appetite , pains in tlie limbs , nocturnal sweats , hectic flushes , nervousness , head-ache , lowness of spirits , trembling , loss of memory , eruptions , -wasting and drynes- ! - of the skin , hysterics , < kc .

i - A CUKE ! FOR ALL !! HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT AND TILLS . EXTRAORDINARY CURE of a Case abandoned by GUY'S , the METROPOLITAN , KING'S COLLEGE * and CHARING CROSS HOSPITALS . i This fact -was sworn to this 8 th day of March , 1842 , before the Lobd MaToe , at the Mansion House . Sl'SIMAET OF AFFIDAVIT . TVm . Brooke , Messenger , of 2 , Union-street , Southwark , London , maketh oath and saith , that he ( this deponent ) was afflicted with Fifteen Running Ulcers on his left arm , and ulcerated sores a . nd wounds on both legs , for wliieh deponent was admitted an out-door patient at the Metropolitan Hospital , in April , 1841 , where he continued for nearly four weeks . Unable to receive a cure thtre , the deponent sought relief at the thrue following I hospitals : —King ' s College Hospital in May . for five i weeks ; at Guy's Hospital in July , for six weeks ; and at ] Chaining Cross Hospital at the end of August , for some weeks more ; which deponent left , being in a far worse condition than when he had quitted Guy ' s , where Sir j Brans by Cooper , and other medical officers of the establishment , had told deponent that the only chance of ' saving his life was to lose his asm ! The deponent thereupon called upon Dr . Bright , chief physician of Giiy ' s , who , on viewing the deponent ' s condition , kindly and liberally said , " I am utterly at a loss what to do for you i but here is half a sovereign ; go to HOLLOW AY , and try what effect his Pills and Ointment will have , as 1 have frequently witnessed the wonderful effects they have in desperate cases . You can let me see you again . " Thia unprejudiced advice was followed by the deponent , and a , pebfect cube effected in three weeks by the use alone of , HQLLOTfAT'S TILLS AND OINTMENT , after four ; Hospitals had failed ! AVben Dr . Bright was shown by the deponent the result of his advice and charity , he said , i " I am both astonished and delighted , for I thought that j if I ever saw you again alive , it would be without your arm ; I can only compare this cure to a charm ! " ( Sworn at the Mansion House ofthe City of London , this Bth day of March , 1842 . ) Before me , " JOHN PIR 1 E , Mayor . In all Diseases of the Skin , bad legs , old wounds and ulcers , bad breasts , sore nipples , stony and ulcerated cancers , tumours , swellings , gout , rheumatism , and lumbago , likewise in cases of Piles—the Pills in all the above cases , ought to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty , and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone . The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of inuschetoes , sanu-llies , chiego-foot , yaws , and coco-bay . Burns , Scalds , Chilblains , Chapped Hands and Lips , also Bunions and Soft Corns , wili be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment . The PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when used with the Ointment , bnt as a General Medicine there is nothing equal to them . In nervous affections they will be found of the greatest service . These Pills are , without exception , the finest purifier ofthe Blood ever discovered , and ought to be cbed bi all ! , Sold by the Proprietor , 244 , Strand ( near Temple Bar ) , where advice may be had gratis ; also at the Chronicleoffice , Oxford ; and by all respectable vendors of patent mediciues throughout the civilised world , in pots and boxes , at Is . ljd ., 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., 11 s ., 22 s ., and 33 s . each .

MANCHESTER . Chartist Sunday School Tea Party . —A tea party of the scholars , teachers , and friends connected with the Chartist Sunday School , was held in the Carpenters' Hall , on the afternoon of Sunday last ; the party was both numerous and respectable . The room was tastefully decorated . The tea and other requisites were of first-rate quality , and the arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the parties present did much credit to the committee of young men who had the management of the atfair . Mr . John Murray was called on to preside , who gave out an appropriate Chavtist Hymn which was sung by the children , after which the company sat down to the repast . The tea
being over , Mr . Grocott delivered a short address tu the teachers , scholars , and parents . After which he examined the children on various parts of useful knowledge . Several pieces were then recited by the children , amongst which we noticed , '' The downfall of Poland , " "The celebrated speech of Patrick Henry , " " Byron's Dream , Die uninscribed tomb of Emmett , " " The Factory Slave ' s Last Day , " " The Charms of Freedom , " "The Democratic Working Man , " and a number of others , for which we cannot find room .

We at the same time beg to congratulate you upon the general improvement of the pupils in the _ various classes , and also to thank you , ' on behalf of the poorer scholars , for the prompt manner
in which you engaged in the getting up of this party , as it was for their especial benefit ; and we assure you that , in return for your kindness , you will at all tunes find us ready to co-operate with , and render you assistance on all such occasions as the present .

We are also perfectly aware of the many difficulties you have had to contend with in bringing the school to its present state of perfection . Gentlemen , in conclusion , we again thank you for the strenuous exertions you have made on behalf" of the pupils generally—Tup Scuolaks of THE FlUST ( . LASS .
After the presentation of the address , Mr . Dixon said a few words on the benefits to be derived from giving the rising generation a . sound political education . The party then broke up , highly delighted with the evening ' s proceedings . CAUTEXTfins ' -IfALL . —A lecture was delivered in the above hail on the evening of Sunday last , by Mr . James Leach .

The plan met with general approval , and it wad resolved to appoint a delegate to a county delegate meeting , to be held at Northampton on the second Sunday in the new year , when we hope that every locality will unite in determining upon taking practical steps by which the standard of Chartism mav be placed on a sure and lasting basis .
SHEFFIELD . Fio-tree-laxe .. — On Sunday evening Mr . John West delivered a lecture , on the " Necessity and utility of Trades' Combinations , " to a very numerous and attentive audience . At half-past six o ' clock Mr . Cartledge was called to the chair , and read the M Address of the Boston Trades' Delegates" from the Northern Star , which was received with enthusiastic applause . MiV West commenced by remarking on the similarity of the movement of the Trades in America and England , affording one of the most convincing proofs that the real contest now waging throughout the civilised world was between tyrannical capital on the one hand , and ^ suflbr ing labour on the other-But it was a " great fact , " that , iii spite of all opposition , the cause of Labour was making great and
rapid progress . Mr . West then took up the objection that had been urged against Trades' Unions , and replied to them seriatim , and argued , from the combinations of the capitalists , the necessity of Trades combining for mutual protection , lie then took an ample review of Messrs . Chambers ' tract , the "Employer and the Kmployed , " ably exposing the various fallacies and sophistries of that infamous work , and concluded an address of upwards of two hours' duration , amid universal approbation . After a few remarks from Mr . Briggs , a vote of thanks was given to Mr . West , and the meeting . separated . It is most gratifying to find that the Trades who were most bitterly prejudiced against the Chartists as a body , now attend the lectures in great numbers . This argues favourably for the progress of our glorious cause .
GLASGOW . Visit of Messrs . Stiroe a . vd Crawford . —Under other circumstances , 1 would feel sorry to have to record the utter failure of the banquet in honour of these gentlemen , which was held in the Trades Hall , on Thursday evening , Dec . 5 th . Not so on the present occasion ; for 1 deem it of great importance that Joseph Sturge ( Crawford , owing to the serious indisdosition of his , lady , did not attend ) should be taught practically what influence his satellites possess , and in the present instance , that has been afforded . True , they may attempt to console themselves from the recollection that when they were here , about two years ago , that upwards of 800 attended the soiree in the City Hall . 1 can tell Mr . Sturge , that of the number that attended on that occasion , the greater par t did attend believing , what was ostensibly set forth , that it was got up in order to assist in liquidating the debt due to Mr . G . Ross .
Mr . William Pattison was treasurer for that soiree . I was present when , he ( Pattison ) moved that it be got up : '' the proceeds or surplus to go to liquidate the debt on the Chartist Circular , owing to Mr . G . Ross ; " yet no account has ever been rendered to Mr . Ross in the case . This was disgraceful towards Mr . Ross , not only on the part of Pattison , but also on that of every individual responsible for , or concerned in getting up that soiree , in not having compelled Pattison to produce a balance-sheet , showing how every fart ! : Ing of that money had been expended . The people have found out the real merits of these men , ana they have for some time past treated them accordingly ; in proof of which , only about one hundred and twenty persons attended the affair in the Trades' Hall on Thursday evening : certainly no great encouragement to the leader of the Complete Suffrage Movement . I do not say this in disparagement of

I Mr . Sturge , for I think he is misled . ' On Friday evening , jwhat they call a " conversational meeting , " was heldjin the saloon of the Trades' Hall , for the purpose of " effecting a Union of all parties . " The proceedings were commenced by Mr . Murchy stating the object of the meeting , from which it appeared that the individuals who called it had no definite object to lay before them . After a few words from Mr . Sturge , Mr . J . Lang spoke in favour of being guided by public , opinion , and appealed to Mr . Sturge himself as toithe prejudicial result of the conduct of the minority I of the Birmingham Conference . He contended that it wae utterly useless to speak of union unless they were prepared to act on Democratic principles . Mr . Sturge , in reply , said that they had
not called the meeting with a view to discuss any particular line of policy , but rather to have a friendly conversation , in the hopo that they might come to ja better understanding . lie spoke of Mr . Crawford's recommendation last year as to the necessity of keeping the Suffrage question constantly before Parliament , and concluded by recommending that the people in the various boroughs throughout the country should ascertain by ballot the opinion of the whole adiilt male inhabitants as to the persons they might wish to send to Parliament at the next general election , j Mr . Colquhoun said , that as far as Glasgow was concerned , sucn an attempt at present would be mere wasjte of time and money . They knew they had a vast majority of the whole inhabitants with them ,
and though they were to canvass the city , as recommended by Mr . Sturge , the Whigs would give the same auswer tliat had been often given , " these men have no vote on tlie day of election , therefore wo must be guided by th , e opinion ot the electors " . Whatever professions some ' of these men might make to Mr . Sturge , he might depend upon it they were not yet prepared to throw oft' the Whigs . As a sample , he would refer him ' to Lis'fMr . S . ' s ) friend , the late Provost , John Henderson of Paisley , Editor of the Glasgow Post , the professed organ of the Complete Suffrage party . At the time of the late Kilmarnock election the reporter ofjthe Post gave most flattering reports of the proceedings of the meetings called by the Complete Suffrage jpartv , while John Henderson , who writes
both the ] Glasgow and Paisley leading articles , did everything in his power to damn the cause of Vincent . That was a specimen of what was to be expected from these men ^—he ( Mr . C . ) contended that the people ought not to spend any money where they had no prospect of carrying their man , Mr . Robert Malcolm ros . > aiul in his usual style attempted jto defend his superior , Provost Henderson , a , - * well as himself for the conduct of the " establishmcnt ; . "in the case of the Kilmarnock eloction . lie then . cntpred upon what he contended is the real difference jbetween the Completes and the Chartists . Now , mark what follows— "The cause of difference was the j tyrannical conduct of the Chartists in attempting' to put down all public meetings but their
own , tor . whatever purpose they might be called , lie would refer , in particular , to the meetings called by the Anti-fCorn-Law League , and in particular , their conduct in voting for Tories . Unless they were prepared to-Renounce such conduct in future , he believed he expressed the feelings of the Complete Suffrage Committee , with whom he was acting , when he said , ) there could be no union . " Mr . Lang asked whether Mr . Malcolm expressed the views of the Complete Suffrage party ? Mr . M . M'Farlane * salcl , lor his own part he concurred in every word advanced by Mr . Malcolm . —Mr . Moir denied the insinuations thrown out by Mr . Robert Malcolmias to the Chartists wishing to support Toryism . It ; never was a principle with the Chartists to vote for Tories ; while he admitted tliat a portion of
the more earnest of them had urged the policy of voting for a Tory where there was a reasonable probability jof destroying the Whigs ; but they never recommended other people to vote for Tories , or even thought themselves of voting for Tories for the mere sake of doing so . Their object was to destroy a faction that ! had basely betrayed the people . They ( the Whigs ) used the people as instruments to force the Reform Bill from the aristocracy , aiid then turned round and persecuted the very men that were the means of carrying them into power . These were the reasons why the people opposed the Whigs , anil not ; from any attachment to Toryism ; and as to the question of attending public meetings indiscriminately , he denied that ever the people had
done so . I he people were possessed ot sumcient discrimination to know what meetings to attend . Mr . Malcolm had laid particular stress upon the subject of Corn I ^ w Repeal ; the people attended those meetings because it was their duty and their right to do so ^ Three years a go James Aelandtold them , in the llitj Hall , that he ( Aeland ) admitted the Charter 1 to be a good thing , and that the people ought tojhave it , but then they could not wait for it , because the people were starving . He ( Mr . ^ MoirJ would like to know whether the people were better fed now than they were three years ago , or whether the League had any better prospects now than then ? The truth was , that this man and his friends were now looking to the next general
election , the ! result of which was altogether problematical . He ( Mr : Moir ) contended that they could not get a total repeal of the Corn Laws without the Charter , and he further contended that the whole people ought to be consulted as to the circumstances under which those laws should be repealed . He , there-fore , justified tho conduct of the people in attending those and all such meetings . Mr . M'Farlane , said that he never would vote for a Toiy ; but he ( Mr . Moir ) . was sorry to find that neither Mr . M'Farlane nor many of his friends had yet seen the propriety of declaring that they could not unite with men who would vote for a Whig , j Fur his own part , he cared as little for the one as the other . A young man moved that a Committee be appointed for the purpose of calling a public meeting in order to consider the whole question . This was opposed by M'Farlane and others , on the ground that the meeting had not been " called for such
purpose . ] Mr . Sturge disapproved of going to the public , as "he was afraid the public mind was not yet fully prepared ; therefore it might be dangerous . " After some remarks from Bun-ell , Shervington , &c , the latter of whom told Sturge that it was preposterous to speak of the existence of a Complete Suffrage Association in Glasgow : the truth was , they had no association ; there was only one association in Glasgow , the ) National Charter Association ; therefore , if they wished to act upon principle , they would join that one which was in existence , and which had the sanction of public opinion . The mover of the motion said , that as it appeared that Mr . Sturge and his friends were not inclined to be guided by public opinion , | he would withdraw his motion .. The meeting then ; broke up . —I had almost forgot to mention that our friend Pitkethly was present , and made a few but jbold and unreserved remarks on the conduct of the Completes .
i llEBDEN BRIDGE . Lectures . —Mr . Wiliam Bell , of Ileywood , delivered two instructive lectures in this place , on Sunday last ,- to respectable and attentive audiences . At the conclusion of the evening's lecture a vote oi thanks was given to Mr . Bell , and the meeting broke up .
| DUNDEE . The Christian Chartist Church of ¦ this place held a Soiree in the Watt Institution Hall , on the evening j . of Tuesday last . Round the . walls of the rooms were hung a considerable number of the portraits of the people ' s friends , who either have suffered in the cause of Libert } -, or have been distinguished advocates of human freedom . At the hour of meeting Mr . John Hunter , pastor of the congregation , took thd chair , surrounded by a number of the staunch advocatbs of civil and religious liberty . An excellent repast was served up and enjoyed in the spirit of social friendship . The-chairman introduced . Mr . William Flceming , who spoke to the following sentiment : — " Soon may benevolence and temperance ' characterise all classes in the community . " The sentiment met with the approbation of the meeting . Mr . J . C . Hunter was next introduced to the assembly , wliji , in an eloquent and masterly atvle ,
sup-Cor tod t | he sentiment—" Soon may the precepts and leasing ? of Christianity bo as extensive as the human family . '; ' The speaker , on resuming his seat , was warnityfapplauded . Mr . Archibald jM'Donald , late of Aberdeen , was next introduced , and suppor ted the sentiment— " May mankind speedil V be in possession of all th ; oso privileges , both civil arid sacred , which heaven jhath destined them to enjoy . " The chairman then introduced Mr . S , G . Mustarde , from Fife , who , injan energetic manner , supported the following sentiment : — " May all those political martyrs , now the victims of a corrupt and tyrannical , government , soon be ( restored to liberty and to home . " Mr . Mustarde gave a detail of tlie sufferings of the patriots , shewing that their punishment could neither be sanctioned by justice nor Christianity , and was well received . The entertainment was enlivened by the performances of the church choir . We are happy to state that £ 1 17 s . was collected at the church door on Sabbath last , in aid of the taniilv of John Duncan .
j DERBY . Important Public Meeting for the Restoration or Frost , Williams , and Jones . —For some time past the friends of the cause in this town have made grea exertions to obtain an influential meeting , to memorialize her Majesty for the remission of the sentences of the above patriots . It is with much pleasure that we now state , that party feeling seems entirely to have subsided in this town ; for in the requisition , signed by upwards of two hundred , the names jof the influential of all parties have been recorded J concurring in the justice and propriety of restoring Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native
land , i I lie mayor convened the meeting , which took place in the Town Hall—the first meeting of the inhabitants of Derby which has taken place in the new hall , that noble building being only just completed . The meeting , though called for twelve o ' clock , was well attended by ; the working-classes , Mr . Hagen , a much respected gentleman , was called to the chair . He opened the proceedings in a dispassionate and able manner . A series of resolutions and a memorial were carried without a dissentient voice . Mr . Dorman , of Nottingham , supported the first resolution in a speech of great ability . Mr . Mason , of Birmingham , supported the memorial in a speech of great power and eloquence . The meeting agreed to place the

M'Grath lectured in the large room of th ; Tinker and Budget inn , to a numerous nieetin ° Twenty-eight cards of membership were taken out * Wueatley Laxe . — Discussion . — On Thursda > evening , according to previous arrangement , a publj discussion took place In the spacious Inghamite Chape of this place , between Mr . M'Grath and Mr . C . Owen of Burnley . The subject for discussion was , " Woul the immediate Repeal of the Corn Laws , and thi establishment of Free Trade , under existing a > rangements , be beneficial to the Working Classes V Mr . Owen undertook to prove the affinnatb . of the proposition , and Mr . M'Grath the jiecj
tive . The meeting was the largest ever -hell in Wheatley Lane , consisting of between si ; and seven hundred persons . Mr . Cox acted . $ chairman on the part of the Repealers , and M > Walker waa appointed to act for the Chartists . % arrangements were , that each speaker should havy four speeches—half an hour for the first , and a quarts of an hour each for the'three last . Mr . Owen con , menced the debate by giving a history of the Cort Laws , and eloquently vituperating the landlords f « their injustice in enhancing the price of the poo ; man's loaf . Mr . M'Grath commenced by fixing tfc attention of the meeting on the question at issue , ivhi <» was , Would Repeal and Free-trade benefit the indm trious classes ? They could be only substantially bem
fitted by increasing their wages , or fey cheapening brea and keeping wages at their present level . The onq was upon Mr . Owen to prove this , and if he failed £ doing bo , he failed in the accomplishment of the objec for which he attended that meeting . Mr . M'Grati tlien entered into an exposition of the plausible abam dities which constitute the Free Traders' creed . $ proved , to the evident satisfaction of the meeting from the speeches of Hume , Villiera , Bowring , Fit * william , « fcc , that the objects the Free Traders han in view in seeking the repeal of the Corn Laws is ft cheapen food that they might reduce wages ; and b reducing wages , to lessen the cost of production ; an ! by lessening the cost of production , to carry on t successful competition in foreign markets . Tla
debate throughout was conducted with the strietesj decorum ana propriety , and at its conclusion it . Mooney , of Colne , stepped forward and submits the following resolution for the adoption of tt > meeting : — "That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Repeal of the Corn Laws and th establishment of Free Trade would not , unde the operation of existing laws and institutions , fe beneficial to the industrious classes of this empire ; and this meeting entertains no hope of removing fe evils which afflict society , uhtilthe whole people arete , presented in the Commons House of Parliament , ail the interest of Labour is protected by the lawa si the realm . " Mr . Cox , the Repealer ' s chairman , 4
jected to put the resolution . Mr . Owen Jikewis objected , alleging that the majorities were no criteriu of truth . Mr . M'Grath urged the propriety of su ^ mitting the resolution , considering the meeting equidh entitled to express an opinion on the subject as liim " self or Mr . Owen . Mr . Owen then moved ai amendment to the effect , that " the Repeal of tie Corn Laws , and Free-trade , would be beneficial tote working classes . " The amendment was then put , when not twenty hands were held up for it . % resolution was next put , when nearly every hand a the Chapel was uplifted in its favour . Votes of thanb having been awarded to the chairman and the trustees of the Chapel , the meeting separated , highly pleased with the evening ' s proceedings .

SCOTLAND . Me . Clark ' s Tour . —To the Chartists of England . —• My friends , —On Monday I left Edinburgh for Al « , a village near Stirling , where I arrived in the eTeoing , and addressed a spirited and intelligent meeting composed of the cream of Scotch Chartism . The utmoii attention was paid to what I advanced , and when I had concluded ^ a large number came forward and joined the National Charter Association . The inhabitants of Alva are all fully employed at present inthe manufacturing of woollen shawls , handkerchiefs , < rc . and seem , from their general appearance , to en many more comforts than fall to the lot of the
other manufacturing operatives in the different part 3 of Scotland that 1 have hitherto visited . It ga « me great pleasure to find that full employment b f in nowise cooled the . feeling in favour ot Chartism , t « r which this patriotic village has been so long and s « justly famous . Here , too , I found one of those fi « exceptions from the general rule of conduct amoo ? 5 * the middle classes towards our cause , in the pefio " ^ Mr . Harrowcr , one of the oldest manufacturers in tw place , who not only attended the meetine , but with !"
three amiable sons were the fii-st to join the assofljj " tion . This good man has erected a beautiful !

On Tuesday evening I went in comply with a party of the Alva friends to Trllicoultrr , »»" other manufacturing village , distant about twop ! from Alva , where I had a pretty good and i ? £ ' " ligent audience , and formed a strong locality old * Association . On the following evening , Wedni ^ I addressed an attentive au < lir > nre at another viBl ^
