THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full of embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horror of exposure accumulate in the morbid imagination, while in creasing disease augments the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sensible of the anguish thus pro tracted, we have adopted $ system which long practical expe rience has proved to be highly successful, and which precludes the absolute necessity of personal communication with those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute description of the case, written in plain language, will enable og to treat the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been the peculiar nature of our practice, embrac►ng every variety of difficult circumstances, that the most timid may feel encourage- Ment in the opportunity thus afforded them. Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the con stitution may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to health, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits. Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day, at their residence ; and Patients in the remotest parts of the country, can be treated successfully on their describing minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for Advice and Medicine. No difficulty can occur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation. GOSS and Co. (M. R. C. ), Surgeons, No. 7, Lancaster-place, Strand, London. Just published (Twenty-third Edition), Ist THE 2EGIS OF LIFE, a familiar commentary on the above Dis eases.-2d. THE SYPHILIST, a popular treatise on Lues Venerea, &c.--3d. HYGEIANA, addressed exclusively to the Female Sex. May be had at 23, Paternoster-row, Lon don ; and of all Booksellers. (Price ss. each.) THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on 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 sys. • tom, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses , irregu larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un. prolific frame ; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the i mmo d e rate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a.tlimas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily curet. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will. ere long. meet the happiest change the chill, watery fluid will become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a li fe of p leasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the - mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

Perry and CO-, Surgeons, may be consulted as usual at No. 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and No. 44, Al bion-street, Leeds. Only one personal visit is required from a country patient, to enable Messrs. Perry and Co.' to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and ef fectual cure, after all other means have proved ineffectual. That efficacious Medicine, the celebrated PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, Prepared by Messrs. Perry, price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d. and I Is. per box, for the cure of Scurvy, Scrofula, and Lues Venerea. These invaluable Pills may be taken with the greatest ecrecy ; they occasion no hindrance to business, loss of time, r restraint of diet, and are the most safe, speedy, pleasant, and • fficacious remedy ever discovered for the complete cure of these nsidious and malignant diseases. A Treatise on Syphilitic Diseases is given with each box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, containing a full description of the above complaint, illustrated by En gravings, showing the different stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease, as well as the dreadful consequences arising from the use of mercury. The causes, symptoms, and baneful .effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Wea kness, &c., are explained in a familiar manner ; to which are added very extensive practical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive habit; all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accom panied with full and explicit directions for an effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety, without the aid of medical assistance; it also contains many hints, and advice well worth knowing. N. B.

Thomas Feaver, woollen warehouseman,. Nos. 3 and 4, Friday-street, Cheapside, son of the discoverer, having tested this remedy by pr►vate circulation fee several years, during which time thousands have been cured, from the nobleman to the peasant, considers he would be wanting in his duty towards his suffering fellow-creatures if he did net give them the full advantage of this moat important discovery ; he therefore no longer hesitates to adopt this mode of making it publicly known.

" Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a wooden spoon in their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead. ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any man who makes such unceasing efforts as he has done to allevia'e the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention." — Times, Nov. 3. " In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man, whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer dint of perseverance, am showing a gallant front to misfortune, had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success. The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accorn 'dished by energy and good conduct; and it is written in a cheerful and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout, rheumatism, and indigestion. Hls mode of treating some of these diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has added reasons explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may read."—The Sue, Nov. 5.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have keen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ei dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause ; has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, hyart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point outt he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

T A PUBLIC MEETING of the IN HABITANTS of MANCHESTER, held at tfw Hall of Science, Camp-field, on Tuesday evening, December 22d, 1840, Mr. GODDARD in the Chair, the following Resolutions were unanimously passed— I. this Meeting is of opinion, that any attempts forcibly to arrest free inquiry by legal prosecutions or otherwise is highly dangerous to the liberty and progressive improvement of the people, inasmuch as such proceedings are an intealerenee with that which can alone establish the truth, and consequently usefulness of any opinion—free discussion ; and by waking force, and not reason, the test of the truth or falsehood of men's opinions, establish a principle which would lead to complete political and religious despotism. 2. That this Meeting views with considerable regret the prosecution which has been instituted by her Majesty's Attor ney-General against Nit-. Henry Hetherington, of London, for selling " Haslam's Letters to the Clergy," and expresses its conviction that such prosecutions are opposed to the spirit of British liberty, and highly dangerous to the stability of the Government enforcing them.

We find that our old antagonist, for we never were disposed to consider him an enemy—though he often assumed that character—is at present lodged in the Fleet Prison, at the suit of his late roaster, Mr. Thorn hill, for a debt contracted while he had the stewardship at Fixby Hall. Mr. Oastler is one of the numerous victims of ultra-ism that have passed' over the political stage during the last twenty years;and his example is striking and instructive. We well recollect the time when he brought one of ,his first letters to this office on the factory sysgem. We recollect, too, that, agreeing with him in many respects as to the abuses in that sys tem, we took much trouble to prevail on him to mode rate his tone, end use more discriminating language ; but our endeavours were in vain, and the rei ction of that and other epistles of the same character soon pro duced for us as large ashare of his vituperation as the factory masters themselves. We have marked his pro gress, step by stop, or rather • stride by stride, and we have seen the amelioration of the condition of the fac tory children, partly under the influence of his fervent exertions, but from Want of discretion he lost his repu tatio❑ as a man o:. judgment, and he fell into vlolent denunciations that greatly impaired his usefulness. In the midst of his fervour in the cause of humanity, there is too much reason to suppose that he was not suffi ciently attentive to the duties of his situation, and his expenditure almost imperceptibly in the company he kept, and the displays be made, began to exceed his in come, although that was very handsome, and the delu sion, fostered by a specious of popular appiau.2e, for which he had an insatiable thirst, came over him, that his frieu•ls were•so.numerous amongst the enemies of what Mr. Fielded calls the ";bastiles," that, if he should be ejected from Fixby Hall, an " Oastler Fond " ,vould be raised for him, so ample as to retrieve his cir cumstances, and to place him in a situation of opulence little short of Thornhill himself! Fatal delusion ! He IOSt his situation ;a subscription was opened for him Mr. Fielden, of Tomorden, and Mr. Wood, of Brad: ford, subscribed to the Oastler Fund, but their sub scriptions, which were almost the only ones of any roomtnt, sunk into insignificance in comparison to the sacrifices that Mr. Oastler had made, and the deficiency in the accounts with his master. The subscription proved an utter failure. The cheers of the violent are generally empty sounds. Poor " King Richard" fell from his high estate, and he is now, as we have said, incarcerated within the four walls of the Fleet. We see that the delusion of another subscription for Mr. Oastler is held out by the Leeds Intelligencer, and those newspapers which have, for their own ends, already so grossly de ceived him; but it will prove like the phantoms that preceded it. The Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors will probably soon terminate his imprisonment, and his e xample will, we hope, lead others to the conclusion t hat the best mode of advancing any public object is by reason and moderation, and that the effect of violence is always either to injure the cause or the advocate,and generally both.—Leeds Mercury. Box.—The staunch Reformers of this town who have so often distinguished themselves by their zea and consistency in the advocacy of Liberal principles rightly concluded that the scurrility of the Gazette, in its attacks on Mr. Sidney Smith, could only have arisen from his efficiency in exposing Tory corruption ; they therefoie resolved to secure his services at Box, and applied to the vicar for the use of the Church School, which was refused, on the ground that he (the vicar) did not u nderstand the subject; and that it was a ques tion on which much difference of opinion existed I We shall not stop to point out the great dereliction of social duty which this confession of ignorance implies, The Dis senters followed the example of the Church, on the ground that +he question was political. To feed the hungry sad clothe the naked political !!! Was not the striking the fetters from the slave political ?—ls not the overturning of the Pagan's Established Church, and put ting i❑ its stead the religion of the Gospel, political ? why, then, Anti-slavery Societies, or Missionary Meet ings? We pause for a reply. In the dilemma of this double refusal, the large room of the Swan was secured for Friday evening, when Mr. Smith delivered a lecture of upwards of two hours' duration, to a most respectahle and deeply attentive audience. After the address, the mode of operation for the agitation of the repeal of the Corn-laws, was discussed at the Bear Inn, and determined upon.— Wiltshire Independent. SIR MOSES MoNTEFloßE.—Yesterday a meeting of gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion was held in the vestry-room of the synagogue, in Bevis Marks, for the purpose of considering the best means of testifying to Sir Moses Montefiore, on his return from the East, their gratitude for his generous and successful exertions, in the cause of humanity, and in behalf of their persecuted brethren in Damascus. Mr. H. de Castro was unani mously called to the chair, and the meeting was addressed by Baron Rothschild, Messrs. Ellis, Moreton, liyams, Lucas, Cohen, and other eminent Jewish merchants in the city ; who eulogised in the warmest terms, and amidst great applause, the benevolent and munificent character of Sir Moses Mantefiore and his Lady.

REGISTRATION OF LETTERS. The following official correspondence will serve to set at rest any doubts that may have prevailed as to the intention of the proposed scheme for the registration of letters, which, according to a recent announcement by the I'ost•office authorities, is to come into operation on rnd after the 6th of January next : 6 TO TIIE RIGIIT HON. THE EARL OF LICHFIELD, PaST- MASTER-GENERAL, &C. " My Lord,—The official announcement issued from the General Yost-office, respecting the adoption of a system for the registration of letters, commencing on the 6th of January next, has naturally excised much attention, more particularly amongst persons who, like myself, hap pen to be engaged in trade, and cons2quantly in the habit of receiving or transmitting bank-notes or negotiable se. curities through the past. The principle of the scheme is, I believe, imperfectly understood. This will, I trust, plead my apology with your Lordship for thus intruding on your attention. " The risk that has hitherto existed in the transmiss!on of money letters was, perhaps, one of the greatest evils that could befal a commercial country. Without some safe medium of communication business cannot be carried on. Merchants, factors, and tradesman of every descrip tion make their engagements with a dependence upon the punctuality of their correspondents, and relying on the fidelity of the post. Thoy too frequently suffer from the culpable negligence of both. Against the former evil no remedy can be provided. With respect to the latter, it is, I humbly submit, the duty of the Government (the Post office being a Government department, returning a large annual revenue to the State) to guard against disappoint ment in the delivery of all letters entrusted to its charge,— and not that only,—but to indemnify the public against all loss, whatever the amount. " I am aware, my Lord, that this doctrine is at vari ance with the principle of non-responsibility hitherto as sumed and acted upon by every Government since the General Post-office was first established. Nevertheless, it is, I conceive, the only intelligible mode by which the mo netary circulation of the country can be placed upon a cer tain and satisfactory basis. Were the Post-office held le gally liable to make good all proved losses, there would, perhaps, be a diminution of revenue on the year's acc3unt, but the benefit that would accrue to the public would far outweigh any merely pecuniary consideration. " The fundamental error of the present system consists in treating the post as a source of national income, rather than as a purely national accommodation. " But I am digressing. With these truisms, I make no doubt your Lordship is already sufficiently acquainted. I would now respectfully, but earnestly, solicit your Lord ship's attention to the more immediate subject upon which I venture to ask for information—l mean the proposed scheme for the registration of letters. I trust to your Lordship's courtesy, if not to your sense of official duty, as the head of an important public department, for explicit reply upon the following points : " 1. Is it proposed that the scheme of registration shall extend to all post-offices in the United Kingdom ? " 2. Is the registration fee of one shilling to be con sider: d in the nature of an insurance ? " 3. In the event of a letter being stolen or lost in tran situ, upon which the registration fee had been paid, such letter being proved to have contained either cash, bank notes, or checks payable at sight, is it proposed in such case, that th© Post-office shall indemnify the party to whom such remittance would of right belong, had such letter come to hand in due course ? " Should your Lordship's reply, to the latter question more especially, be in the affirmative, the commercial world will hail the introduction of this plan of letter regis tration as the wisest and most practically useful reform ever yet effected in the Post-office. _ _ " I have the honour to be, Sec., " ROBERT MINTER. " 47, Aldermanbu7y, City, Dec. :21, 1840. " General Post.effice, 24th December, 1840. " Sir,—l am directed to acquaint you, in reply to your inquiries, that the system of registration of letters will ex tend to all post towns throughout the United Kingdom, and that although the system will give additional security to the conveyance of letters through the Post-office, the depart ment will not incur any responsibility whatever in regard to the content: of any letters.—l am sir, &c. " W. L. M A BER LE Y, Secretary: " Mr. Robert Minter, 47, Aldermanbury." AGGREGATEMILETING OF IRISH REFORMERS. (From the Dublin Evening Post of last Saturday.) We have the gratification to announce that it has been determined to hold a meeting of Reformers in this City, about the middle of the ensuing month, once more to assert the right of Ireland to equal franchises and institu tions with England and Scotland—to proclaim their deter mination never to be content with less—more they do not seek. This meeting is to take place upon the eve of a Ses sion of Parliament, during which the entire strength of the Tories is to be concentrated in a renewed attempt to pass the Bill of Lord Stanley for repealing, in practical effect, the Irish Reform Bill and the Emancipation Act. This, then, is the moment for a vigorous and si multaneous action upon the part of the friends of peace and good government in Ireland. Under these circum stances, it rejoices us exceedingly to be able to state that all sections of Reformers, however differing upon abstract points, are thoroughly united in this movement, which so deeply concerns the welfare of their common country. Amongst the names already attached to the requisition are those of the Earls of Charlcmont and Fingall, Lords Lur gan, De Freync, Brabazon. and Clements; Daniel O'Con nell, O'Conor Don, Sir W. Som-rville and Sir Michael Bellew, George Evans, Fitzstephen French, Thomas Anthony Stoughton, William Sharman Crawford, David R. Ross, Pierce Mahony, John Hatchell, George Roe, Peter Purcell, and an host of others, embracing all sec tions of the great Reform party. INCENDIARY FIRE.— On Sunday morning, between one and two o'clock, a fire, e%idently occasioned by an incendiary, was d , scovered in one of the stack yards of Mr. James Cropley, a very extensive farmer at Ely. Immediate alarm was given to the iNhabi!ants, by whom great exertions were made for several hours to check the progress of the flames, end to save the house and buildings, and part of the corn. The fire was not got under until some time after day-light, by which time eight, out of nine i:rge wheat stacks, were consumed. The property was ensured in the Globe Office, and we understand the cl...nage is estimated at about 1,2001. For tunately there was no wind, or there is every reason to fear that the fire would have extended to an adjoining stack-yard belonging to Mr. Lawrence, which contained fourteen or fifteen stacks, principally of wheat, &.., all of whi.:ll were within 100 yards of the stacks burnt, and some within as ninny feet. Slit GEORGE CAYLEY'S AIR-ENGINE.—Buth in England and France many unsuccessful attempts have been mule to convert air into a motive power ; Sir George Cayley has at length succeeded. The public will have an opportunity of judging for themselves of the value of this discovery, so soon as a locomotive carriage, now in pro gress of manufacture, can be got ready. The principle of the new engine is easily explained—the details we re serve for another occasion. Air is compressed by the pump into a teceiver, to be used when wanted. Motion is communicated to the wheels by pistons acted upon by the air, which is rarefied by beat in its passage from the receiver to the cylinders, where it acts upon the piston rod much in the same way that steam does. Thus, to communicate motion to a piston, a portion of the air in then ceiver is forced by compression into tubes sub. jected to heat, and from thence, in its ratified state, it rushes to the cylinders as the only place of escape. Motion is accordingly produced. The power, which was under perfect cantrol, was capable of immediate increase or de crease, the expense of fuel followed exactly the same ratio as the power which is one of the peculiarities of this en gine. If it were stopped for a minute or any number of m;nutes, or for half an hour, no less of fuel took place; that is to say, no loss takes place while the engine stands idle. No water is required—a serious considers tion ; and the consumption of coke is only from four to five pounds weight per horse power per mile. The air engine, by obviating the necessity of carrying water, and by obtaining the full power from combustion in the most economical manner, bids fair to be applicable on many oc casions where the steam engine is inconvenient, and to vie with it in power. We are extremely anxious to see the new machine At work.—Front the Polytecynic Journa ti.,r December. The proceedings in the Marylebone Vestry yes terday possess more than ordinary interest, from the una nimous feeling expressed in favour of the plan for supply ing London with pure and wholesome water, from the valley of Chalk Hills, near Watford. Some of the speak ers narrated instances of the monstrous exactions of the existing monopolies, while others dilated on the gross and deleterious character of the water itself. Both are well known. Parliament has taken the matter up repeatedly, and always came to the same result, but un fortunately without being able to find an adequate remedy. A Mr. Pawn is the originator of this highly lauded project of bringing water from the neighbourhood of Watford, and the under-springs of the earth, which project has; been most minutely examined and most elaborately reported upon by Mr. Robert Ste phenson. the eminent engineer, praised by the Marquis of Westminster in the House of Lords, and taken up by a company called " the London and Westminster W ater Company," of which Sir Francis Burdett appears to be chairman, and Sir Charles Grey, Sir Henry Halford, Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., Dr. Hamilton Roe, and Dr. Paris, arc of the committee. The vestry of Marylebone never did a more useful thing than in lending its aid to so impoi tent a measure as this.— Obscr The Great Western Railway was opened to the Wootton Bassett-road station on Thursday last, since which time all the Bath and Bristol coaches that had pre viously joined the Railway at Farringdon or Reading, have been under the control of the Directors, and now run only between Wootton Bassett and Bath, The White Hart, Emerald, and other well-appointed coaches, that had for many years passed through Devizes, have now ceased to run this way ; but there arc still two by day • and one by night regularly passing through this town to and from the Wootton Bassett. road station. —II' iltshire Independent.

A it seemed to have not the slightest effect. At abr. 44 . ; nine it was discovered that the flames had extended 9 r the dwelling-house of Mr. Goodhart, No. 2, in Ri t. : cliffe-highway, and also to the, counting-house, ar dwelling of the foreman of the premises, adjoiniugai These premises were three stories high, and in less the fit a quarter of an hour after, they were burned to toe) ground. The appearance of the fire by ten o'clock waA ' most alarming, and threatened the neighbourhood wit. destruction, but in half an hour after, the firemen g .4 4 the better of the terrible clement, and prevented it o ei casioning further destruction than above stated. Ti A engines, however, continued to throw torrents of wet n on the flames, which raged with violence during ti le day. A frightful accident occurred at about t• m minutes past nine o'clock, by the eastern wall of ti so sugar house giving way, and falling on sees• all. firemen, who were beneath. The poor fellows, four i number, namely, Robert Loader, belonging to Watlir Iv street station ; Richard Harris, Joseph Arkhc le, and another belonging to Wellelose-square, w ere standing under an extensive shed, belong ,ing to Mr. Branton, gingerbeer-maker, adjoining idr. Goodhart's premises, directing the stream from frhe engine branches into the basement of the sugar-hot .se, through the lower windows of the premises. They va er alarmed that the wall was falling, and were endeavor ur• ing to escape, when the whole wall came down a eel buried them under the roof of the shed. It was nee: - ly a quarter of an hour before the poor fellows could be dug out of the ruins, owing to the intense heat. Load .1- was dreadfully crushed and burnt, and one of his leg,:r broken in several places. The others were also greatly injured and burned, and they were all immediately taken to Guy's Hospital, where they still remain. Loader hs a, had the broken leg amputated. He is a young mar ~ and but recently married. Since the above wail writte . n an inquiry has been gone into by the Insurance office .a as to the cause of the fire. It appears that there lam been no fire in the sugar-house for several days past , nor have there been any lights whatever iu the built - ing. Suspicions are entertained that the fire has t it been an accident. The loss is very great ; it is estimati d at 25,0001. The property is insured to the extent .ot 16,0001. in the Scottish Union and Imperial Fire-officvs. LIBERATION OF CHARTISTS. It will be in the recollection of our readers that at the Liverpool March assizes a great number of Chartists from Manchester and the adjoining towns, were flied and convicted for sedition and conspiracy. The total number of Chartists then tried was somewhere about thirty, and they were severally sentenced to itn. prisoned in the goals of Preston, Lancaster, and Kick dale, for different periods from eight months to two years. Those who were sentenced for nine month% were all liberated on the 24th inst.., and their friends ia Manchester determined to honour them on their return by a public entry into the town. Accordingly arrangi rnents were made, and the Chartists, and some of the trades assembled in Stephenson's-square, at twelve o'ciock, and proceeded in procession through the priu• cipal streets of the town to Pendleton, where they met the returr.cd victims, or patriots as they are now styled The names of the parties liberated ;are J. R. Richardson, W. Butterworth, G. H. Smith, Doyle, Scott, Wilde. Johnson, and Atkin, the three last named are from Ashton-under-Lyne. The procession, on leaving Man chester, was not very numerous, but increased as tlic . ,s proceeded through the town, till they arrived at Hall of Science, in Campfield, a room which, with the gallery, will hold about 2,500 people. At the com mencement of the proceedings the room was about half full, but continued to increase in numbers till it was ultimately two-thirds full. Mr. JO3EPII LINNEY having been called to the Chair, he briefly opened the proceedings, and called or Mr. J. R. RICHARDSON first to address the meet ing, who said, that after nine months' absence from th. public, he was unable to address them with the san, freedom he had been accustomed to do, he would there.. fore merely thank them for the tribute of respect tht:: had that day paid him. There was, however, an asst:. ranee he trust give them, that was, the hardships of gaol had not in the least degree altered his opinion. nor damped his zeal in the cause of Radicaliam. T,i Reform Ministry of 18:30 had persecuted him and fellow-suiL2ters for promulgating the same opinion:: which were taught by Sir J. C. Hobhouse and othv: Members of the Cabinet when out of place. 'The meeting wits subsequently addressed by Smith, Butterworth, and Bearstow, all of whom expresse,i their firm determination never to cease agitating non the " Pcople',; Charter " was obtained. These senti ments were so cheered by the meeting as to leave n• doubt on the minds of any one present, that the worl: ing-classes are as discontented as ever with the prose" state of Government.
