FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in tamili s, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be rased of its importance to every householder in the kingdom.

Our advertising columns contain a statement, put forth by Mr. Astley's committee, of the circum stances under which the agreement for the with drawal of that gentleman at the last general election was concluded. What answer some of the gentlemen who have exerted themselves to bring forward Mr. Cornwall Legh may have to make to this state ment, we cannot pretend to anticipate; but it seems to us that, without some explanation, involving facts not yet before the public, a portion of them will be placed in a very unenviable position. The joint committee of Mr. Egerton and Mr. Stanley agree that, in case of the withdrawal of Mr. Astley at that time, they will abstain from all opposition to his return in case of a vacancy arising during the present Parliament. This compact, so far as we can discover, was agreed to or: acquiesced in, by every member of the committee, and by Mr. Egerton's agent and legal adviser. In pursuance of it, Mr. Egerton and Mr. Stanley were returned without op positi .n, and those gentlemen and their friends were re lieved from a large amount of trouble, anxiety, and expense. We are informed, on what we deem unquestionable authority, that Mr. Egerton, no doubt duly regarding these considerations, has taken a course , which might be fully expected from his well-known pers, , nal honour, and has expressly declined to countenance the opposition to Mr. Astley's return. Some of his supporters, however, We are given to understand, have thought themselves at liberty to pur suo a different course, and have promised their active support to Mr. Cornwall Legh. Now we must say that any gentleman who actively agreed, or passively acqui esced, in this compromise, and who reaped the benefit cf it, in the return of their own candidate, and the saving of their own time and money, will stand before the public in no very creditable light, if it should appear that, without any new circumstances to justify them, they now refuse to fulfil the condition into which they entered at the election, and, instead of acquiescing in the return of Mr. Astley, get up an active contest against him. Of course, these remarks do not apply to Mr. Cornwall Legh, who not unreasonably considered him self very ill-used by his political friends at the last elec tion, and took no part whatever in the arrangements; but we think that Air. Legh would not like to owe his return to a discreditable breach of faith, express or implied, on the part of his principal supporters.—Man cheater Guardian. BANQUET TO VISCOUNT lIARDINGE.--The mem bers of the Junior United Service Club gave a splendid entertainment last evening to Lieutenant-General Vis count Ilardinge, G.C.8., at their club-house, in Regent street. About ninety noblemen and gentlemen sat down. Captain H. G. Boldero, M.P., presided. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. —At a meeting to consider the proposal to lease this line, the Chairman stated that offers had been made to lease the line at six per cent. for three years, and seven per cent. perpetually, by the York, Newcastle, and Ber wick and by the Caledonian Railway Companies, which offers he would recommend the shareholders not to accept, as he felt convinced much better terms could be obtained, and that the line was worth ten per cent. ; and it was i resolved that th e mee ti ng b e ad journed to the 31st inst., to enabl e th e di rectors to nego tiate with any improved offers that might be made. The meeting, which was very numerously attended, then separated. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —A Diseased Elbow Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mrs. Dunham of Scrubby, near Alford, was dreadfully afflicted with an enlargement of the elbow joint; for several months she I,)st the use of her arm, during which period she was under the treatment of the faculty in Lincoln, Notting ham, and other places, but obtained no relief, and from the intense pain she constantly endured, it was decided t h a t nothing but amputation or death could relieve her sufferings. In this state, Holloway's Ointment and Pills were resorted to, and these truly valuable medicines soon effected a permanent cure, and restored the complete use of her arm. Mr. Murton, bookseller, Louth, will testify to this. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hollo way's Establishment, 244,,Strand London. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. REFORM MEETING. Yesterday a public meeting ce the electors of Middle sex, convened by the Sheriffs, on a requisition nu merously and respectably signed, was held at Captain Hall's Riding-school, Albany-street, Regent's-Park, for the purpose, as stated in the requisition, of " taking into consideration the manifold evils under which many mil lions of her Majesty's loyal subjects are suffering, and of adopting such resolutions as may be deemed expe dient for the removal of th ose evils, and for the protection of the Throne from danger." The Riding-school, which is calculated to contain t s i p o a r e in io g us t b h a e lco p n r y oe fi e t e t d ed ing u s p j a n t c o o n u e , end—was about 1,500 persons, and is admirably suited to the pur poses of a public meeting—havin a convenient and general estimate was, that abort 1,000 persons were present. At a quarter to one o'clock, the Sheriffs, Messrs. followed shortly afterwards by e J n o ie se n p ti h Y Cubitt and Hill, accompanies by the NI.P.; W. Williams, Esq. (late Member Under- Sheriff, David William Wire, Esi., arrived, and were no time Mr. Armstrong (a magistrate of the county), leading Mr. ,for crowed. hiute;e n Et The rsyq i: Ser geant Shee, Zr. Sergeant Gazelee, Mr. Richard Taylor, Mr. Macleod, Mr. Hull, and var:.ous other gentlemen who are generally conspicuous in the Reform move mentstako n, severalof the county. otthe ie grerovieomustetros belonging defunct Chartist Convention obtained admission to the balcony, and were loudly cheered sy the persons in the great body of the meeting. At this time the building was not more than half filled, and a considerable num berto the of police-constables were observed to be interspersed amongst the crowd. ng ch in a g ir being The Sheriffs having taken their seats, Mr. WIRE (the Under-Sheriff, who acted practically as chairman) proceeded to read the requisititm. When he had con cluded, A PERSON in the crowd, who said he was a freeholder of the county of Middlesex, demanded to ask the She , riffs a question before the meeting proceeded further.— (Cries of " Order, order.") Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE said the gentleman must not interrupt the order of the proceedings. He had no doubt he would be heard at the proper time.—(Hear, hear.) The PERSON thus addressed insisted on being heard then, for that was the proper time to draw the attention of the authorities to the circumstance of which he corn plained.—(Cries of " Order, order.") He observed that a great number of police were scattered throughout the meeting, which he regarded as the first introduction of the Gagging Bill.—(Great uproar and cries of " Out with the police," "No Gagging Bill.") A GENTLEMAN on the balcony said it was shameful to introduce a body of police-constables into a meeting so convened.—(Cheers.) It was the duty of the Sheriffs to see that it was a free meeting, and a free expression of opinion on the part of the freeholders of Middlesex.— (Cheers, and renewed cries of "put with the police," " Turn them out," " No Gagging Bill.") Here the Sheriffs consulted for a short time with Mr. Armstrong, the magistrate, and several of the gentlemen around them, after which Mr. Sheriff CUBITT, addressing the meeting, asked, " Is it your pleasure that we should go on with the business?—(Cries of "Yes, yes," "No, no," and " Turn out the police.") I see no earthly reason why you should feel annoyed merely because there happens to be some policemen mingled amongst you.—(Tremendous uproar, and renewed cries of "Out with the police," " No spies," " Do you call this an Englishman's liberty?" &c.) Why, if this meeting was held at Brentford, or in any of the public squares, you would not object to the presence of the police."—(" That's a different thing," and renewed uproar.) Here the Sheriffs again consulted together, after which Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said —" Gentlemen, your wishes shall be obeyed.—"( Tremendous cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs, which lasted for several minutes.) A lane was then opened instinctively, and the police men good-humouredly marched out in single file amidst the most uproarious cheering. Mr. Sheriff CUBITT then said, that passing over the slight interruption which had just occurred, and which was not of much consequence to any of them.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !" " I beg your pardon !" and renewed cheer ing.) Well, at all events, it was of great importance that order should be preserved, and he hoped they would assist the Sheriffs in doing so.—(Cheers, and " We will, we will!") He trusted they would give every gentleman who wished to address them a fair hearing.—(Cheers.) He would now proceed to read two or three letters which he had received; and, first, he would read one which bore the joint signatures of Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir Benjamin Hall.—(Cries of " We don't want to hear them!") Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE then read the following:— " St. James's-nlace, May 17, 1848. " Oii —ire•ie s iseen invite a to attena tee IlleeLlug W be held this day, we desire to express our regret that we are obliged to be present in the House of Commons at twelve o' clock, on the second reading of a Bill, intro duced by Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir Benjamin Hall, having for its object the amendment of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act.—(Cries of "It's no use, "It's too late.") ," If the debate and the division upon the Bill should terminate early, we shall be happy to come to the meet ing ; but in the event of our being prevented doing so, we beg to assure the electors of Middlesex and the me tropolitan boroughs that we shall continue to use our best endeavours to remove the grievances arising from inequality of taxation, to reduce the public expenditure, and to prorate a full and efficient reform in the repre sentation of the people. " We have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient humble servants, (Signed) " DUDLEY COUTTS STUART, "BENJAMIN HALL. " To the Chairman of the meeting." The next letter read was from Sir De Lacy Evans, who excused his absence on similar grounds. W. WILLIAMS, Esq., then came forward, amidst loud cheering, to propose the first resolution. lie said it was now, he believed, more than sixteen years since a meet ing of that county had been convened by the Sheriffs — (Hear, hear)—the last meeting being for the purpose of obtaining the support of the electors and of the country generally to the Reform Bill! From that measure they expected that the grievances which existed under an unreformed Parliament would be remedied, and that im portant and efficient measures of reform would be carried out ; but in that expectation they had bee n grievously disappointed.—(Cheers.) The Government of that day—(Hisses) —so far from carrying out their promises of reform, had tailed to realise even the slightest of their expectations.—(Hisses, and " Down with the Whigs.") It might not be amiss for him perhaps to state what had been said by the two Noblemen who introduced this measure—the one in the House of Lords and the other in the House of COMMONS — and then to show what had been the fruits that had fol lowed it.—(Hear, hear.) When Lord John Russell — (Groans and hisses for some time) —when Lord John Russell introduced the measure into the House of Com mons on the Ist of March, 1832, he said:—" He pro posed that the people should s e nd to that House their rea l representatives, to delibe rate on their wants and th e ir interests, to consider their gr i e vances, and attend to their desires—to lay a foundation for that m ost salu tary change in the well - being and comfort of the people, and that laws should not be passed for th e benefit classes by men roused from their slumbers at tw t ejve o'clock at night to vote for what they knew no the (Laughter.)

The Hon. Gentleman then went on to show that the whole number of electors on the registry of the United Kingdom last year was only 1,062,000, of whom 163,000 alone sent 329 Members to Parliament, being a znajorityof the House of Comrnons.—(Cries of "Shame"). Many names on the registry were inserted three or four times, which diminished the number still further; but if household suffrage were adopted, it would increase the constituency by at least two and a.half milli ons. T h i s, in his opinion, wo u ld g i ve a more democratic House of Commons than universal suffrage, for those who would be deprived of votes would be the tens of thousands of respectable and well-educated young men employed in the public offices and houses of business. [Here several persons cried out that they did not wish to exclude these persons from the franchise .] The Honourable Gentleman said he was aware of that, but he was only stating how the fact would be. After eulogising the Chartists for the moderation of their con duct on various recent occasions, he advised them, t a o s they one ede could a notltttl little, t i n everything order to their forin o wan solidwa y,, phalanx with the middle classes.

The . following resolu tionosing the amidst loud cheers, by prop : long had in view—the abolition class legislation and " That in the opinion of this meeting, the Commons House of Parliament, as at present constituted, does not fairly represent the population, the property, or the industry of the country; that the disclosures made before Committees,of 1835 42, and also during the pre sent session, prove that the return of its Members has been extensively influenced by bribery, corruption, coercion, and intimidation; that the Reform Act has not realised the just expectations of the country; that since the passing of that Act the public expenditure has not only been more extravagant, but has exceeded by many millions sterling the expenditure of the last session of the unreformed Parliament; that the system of taxation is so contrived as to favour the aristocracy, and to throw the pressure of its burthen unjustly on the industrious classes of the people." Mr. HULL, of Uxbridge, seconded the resolution, and also advised a coalition between the middle and the working classes. If the working man was true to the middle man, the middle man would be true to him. Whilst France and Italy advanced, it was impossible that England should stand still.—(Cheers.) The SHERIFF was then about to put the resolution from the chair, when Mr. KYDD, of Chartist Convention celebrity,presented himself; and was received with loud cheers by the meet ing. It was at first objected to him that he was not an elector or a resident of the county, but the Sheriff good naturedly waived the objection, and he was allowed to proceed. He said he considered he was entitled to at tend the meeting by the very terms of the notice by which it was convened; for the principle they had met to discuss was an universal, and not a local one. He ad mitted that without union between the working and the middle classes it was impossible to obtain good govern ment; but the working man would never cease to agitate until the rights of labour were recognised. He saw no thing in the resolution which any thinking or reasonable man could disapprove of. The working men of England had no dreams 'pr Utopian equality- 7 N idea of com mon property. They only asked to earn their bread in the sweat of their brow.—(Cheers.) He saw no thing to prevent such a state of things, provided the Legislature made common cause with the people; but with regard to extensive measures of it Wilt impossible they could hope for such a change until they saw a :uglier moral tone amongst the aristocracy.—(llear, hear.) They must not have myriads of human beings turned off the land on which they and their forefathers were born, and merely because the aristocracy called that land their own.—(Loud cheers.) It was impossible they could hope for such a change until they saw a practical recog nition of the great truth, that all men were brethren. After a moderate and argumentative enforcement of his Chartist principles, Mr. Kydd concluded by declaring that the aristocrcy must concede the rights of the poor, otherwise there could be no peace in the hall whilst there was wail in the cottage.—(Cheers.) Mr. JonsoN then essayed to address the meeting, but his opening sentences were drowned by shouts of dis approval of his proceeding. He was at length com pelled to abandon all attempts to gain a hearing, and withdraw. A Mr. MAY (a Chartist) also attempted to speak, but was obliged to desist. Mr. GEORGE BEACON was more successful, meeting with a good reception from the auditory. He said the House of Commons was composed of 248 sons and re lations of Peers, 143 officers of the navy and army, and 108 persons with Church patronage; and what hope (he asked) was there for the people obtaining either their just rights, or economy and retrenchment, with a House of Commons thus constituted?—(Cheers.) In the House of Lords, too, there were batches of sinecurists, and claimed the right to be admirals, and generals, who received high honours and shotlarge fired. salaries, 'These although were they anomalieshad n eavnedr abusesseen The CUAIRMAN was then about to put the resolution to h a e i d e r s h . ) 0 ol l yn e : r e m st:EY ( to the show of hands, when demanding Captain A re c f heard.—(Loud cries of "No, no," and laughter, silenced: the Captain for the time being,and which reso lution was passed without a second dissentient the being raised against it.) issentient voice Mr. J.

No man possessed of common sense could fail to recognise their existence.—(Loud cheers.) He would tell them why he had requested the . Sheriffs to con vene t h at meeting. Sixteen years ago he attended, in that hall, the last meeting which took e place prior to the passing of the Reform Bill and many might recollect that the watchword of " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," which was given him (Mr. Hume) in the House of Com mons, on the first night of the proposition, served to rally together all the friends of reform, and enabled them to carry out what he (Mr. Hume) called a great mea sure, considering the situation in which this country was then placed. The people had been completely at the mercy of the aristocracy. Their few friends in the House of Commons had their hands altogether tied up. The middle classes had no power, through an abuse of our ancient practice (for the theory of our constitution was that all classes should be represented).—(Cheers.) The result of the Reform Bill was, that the power of good government, the power of electing their represen tatives in Parliament, was virtually lodged in the hands of the middle classes, who, if they would but perform their duty to the working classes no less than to them selves (for the interests of both these classes were iden tical—if the one suffered, the other invariably suffered also), they could now, from their vantage ground, effect those other reforms to which he looked as the true and only substantial means of maintaining public order, of preserving peace, of effecting retrenchment and equal taxation, and securing the comfort, contentment, and happiness of the entire community.—(Loud cheers.) Abuses had, however, crept in, and misgovernment yet prevailed; and what they wanted was such reforms as would make the interests of all classes to be equally consulted.—(Hear, hear.) True Conservatism was to remove the sources of discontent, to abolish unequal laws, and to give the labouring man full value for his capital, while we protect the accumulated wealth of the rich.—(Cheers.) The corn-laws had defrauded labour of its due reward, and free trade would raise profits on the one hand, and wages on the other, when it was fully carried out, and had had a fair trial. With the view of preventing a recurrence of the evils of class legislation, and for the purpose of putting an end to the efforts of one great class to keep another down, he (Mr. Hume) and a number of other Members of the House of Commons, had combined and conferred together upon a plan of operations. He was not surprised that dis content prevailed when the intelligent artisan was denied the elective franchise; when men who were willing to work to support thems elves and the ir fami lies without the aid of the poor-house, but could find no employment for their honest industry, when thousands were rolling in wealth, while millions were suffering ex tremert —(Cheers.) These evil s privation and poverty.--(Cheers.) y. laws, wei e the result of partial and enormous sal ar i es being annually paid to mere dro nes, wh ile industry re ceived but scanty and inadequate remuneration, and was at the same time fleeced to keep up the pomp and rank of the do -nothings.—(Cheers and laughter.) It was to [PRICE SD. redress these grievances he (Mr. Hume) and others had united ; but it was not in the House of Commons that they expected to succeed: it was through the country. They must have the public voice—the voice of electors and non electors, too, raised in tones of thunder in their favour, that it might be at once seen and estimated what their desires and determinations were, and there was no fear but they would speedily obtain the changes which they willed.—(Loud cheers.) Already Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, and almost every large con stituency throughout the empire, had declared itself in favour of the movement; and he also be lieved that that meeting would demonstrate to those who had hitherto been blind and deaf to public opinion, that to the people must be conceded their just rights and their real patrimony.—(Loud cheers.) Their mode of agitation must be orderly and peaceable. The events passing in other countries proved the fact that the poorer classes were the greatest sufierers by a breach of public order and tranquillity; but the people must do their duty out of doors, and he would promise them that their true friends in the Legislature would do theirs, if they ever expected to obtain either a reduction or equalisation of taxation. On this ground he appealed for the assistance of the people in obtaining these inva luable boons.—(Loud cheers, and a voice, " We mean to obtain them."):But they had great difficulties to contend cui could ty a b b o with. Wealth and riches, bribery and corruption, pos sessed the citadel, and were formidable antagonists. Prudence and discretion, peace and order, unity and determination could alone secure the triumph of the people's cause.

This was an essential article, and the man who would not vote aright in Parliament upon this, did not honestly mean to deal fairly with the people.—(llear, heat.)

Let each Reform( .r give up a part of his extreme views, and we should 800 n see a new Reform Bill—a new charter of our liberties (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by mov in a • the second resolution : "That to secure the stability of the throne, publi c order, and contentment, the constitutional rights of th e people, equalization of taxation, economy of the public expenditure, just laws, and good government, it is • dispensable that the elective franchise should be ex tended to all men who are registered as 'residents for s limited time—(A Voice—' how long?' Mr. W. D,. Cooper—' Six months')—that the duration tf merits should not exceed three years; that votes should be taken by ballot; and that there should be a more equal apportionment of Members to population." Sergeant GAZELEE seconded the resolution in a speech which, as indicating moderate views, gave great offence to the Chartists, and renewed the uproar, which had. ceased during Mr. Fume's address. Captain ACKERLEY again renewed his interpellations, and with fresh energy called upon the chairman to give him a hearing. Mr. ERNEST JONES spoke next, and his observations were received with reiterated applause. lie refused to recogelso a umuu r ... 44. belonged, and th e more moderate Reformers, except upon the basis of the People's Charter. He, however, declined to frustrate the objects of the meeting by pro posing an amendment. - Mr. Coos Evssis moved the following amendment, which he supported at some length. His observations were listened to with attention, but with only partial acquiescence. The amendment was, that the property qualification of Memb ers s h ou ld b e a b o li s h e d ; t h at t h e duration of Parliament sho u ld b e li m it e d to th ree years; that the elective franchise should be extended to all householders and occupiers of apartments paying rent at: the rate of 6/. per annum; and that Parliamentary dis tricts should be equalized. Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Spur, Mr. Vernon, Mr. May,. Mr. Harding, and Mr. B. O'Brien, then addressed the 1 more e e meeting amidst the g rea t est uproar and disorder. Many waswere desirous seareely o f ouepersonspeaking, an d on i n point the ploaft platform who was not struck with the most intense desire to make his opinions known, and who did not overwhelm the unfortunate Sheriffs with noisy li applications to be heard.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,. and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how rashly could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and 'vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and couseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,. are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,. than any other to which it is subject.
