THE CHAR TER,
A NEW WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,
DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE WORKING
CLASSES.
THE PROFITS OF WHICH ARE TO BE PLACED AT
THEIR DISPOSAL.
At a numerous Meeting of Members of Trade Societies, hcld at
the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, on Friday, September 7th, 1833, a plan
for the establishment of a Weekly Newspaper was submitted by a
gentleman long connected with the Public Press as an Editor. A
Committee was formed from that Meeting to investigate into the
practicability of the undertaking, who, after a patient inquiry, re-
ported in favour of the proposition at a subsequent Meeting; also
stating that they had made an estimate of the expenses on a liberal
scale, with the number of copies necessary to be sold to clear them.
It was thereupon resolved that au Address and Prospectus should
be published; and a Provisional Committee be formed, with power
to add to their number, to carry the following two-fold object into
effect :--

&c. &c. &c.

The County is the only Fire Office whieh has constantly made
Returns to its Members, and for a long serie: of years. These Re-
turns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have amounted to up-
wards •f 100,0001.

In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of from a
Policy taken out by his late Majesty 02 his owa life for 3,0001.,
whicli.adCitions increased to 3,963/.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up within
a few years, and nearly as many new ones having been projected
within the ast two er three years, it may be necessary to observe,
that all the substantial advantages promised by such new Offices
have been long realised under the plans and management of the
Provident Life Office.

First. To secure for the Working Classes a WEEKLY NEWS-
PAPER of the size and price of the " Weekly Dispatch," and in no
way inferior to that Paper in any of its literary qualities or mecha-
nical features : a Weekly Newspaper which shall advocate unflinch-
ingly and uncompromisingly the right of_ all men to full and equal
representation in the Legislature, and all those other essentials of
just government embodied in the " PEOPLE'S CHARTER,"
also a National and Liberal System of Education, as well as those
social and commercial reforms identified with the permanent inte-
rests of the people at large ; and which shall, in its miscellaneous
department, include all those matters of novelty and interest neces-
sary to constitute a popular Weekly Journal.
Secondly. To constitute out of the profits, derivable from the
sale and advertisements of such a Paper, a FUND available for any
object which shall be deemed promotive of the individual or collec-
tive comforts and interests of that class for whose special benefit the
paper is proposed to be established; and to place such fund, more-
over, at the sole and entire disposal of its delegated representatives.
To realize this,
1. —lt is proposed that any Trade's Union, Benefit Society, Political
or Social Association, or other organized body of persons com-
ing under the denomination of working men, which shall ob-
tain fifty subscribers to the Paper, shall participate in the ma-
nagement of the fund, by electing, annually, one of their own
body to serve upon the Committee hereafter provided for ; and
an additional delegate for every fifty subscribers.
2.—lt is proposed that the funds derived from the profits of the
Paper shall be placed under the management of a Committee,
constituted of the delegates appointed by the several societies
or bodies of men, in conformity with the provision of the pre-
ceding paragraph. All questions in Committee to be decided
by a majority of votes.
3.-1 t is proposed that the funds shall be vested in four Trustees,
to be chosen at a general meeting of the Committee of
management.
4.—lt is proposed that the editorship and literary management of
the Paper shall be confided to the person with whom the
project for its establishment originated (subject to dismissal
by the Committee for neglect of duty) who has been for many
years connected with the Newspaper Press of the metropolis ;
who has given ample evidence of his unceasing devotion to
the interests of the Working Classes : and who is ready to
enter into the most satisfactory sureties for sustaining the poli-
tical, literary, and other neceessary charateristics of a popular
Newspaper. The financial management of the property will
be vested in the Committee provided for in clause 2.
*,* The Committee beg it may be distinctly understood that
the CHARTER is not to be a Paper held in shares (nor is it in
any way connected with a proposed Newspaper entitled the
Operative") ; no person or bodies of persons becoming a sub-
scriber or subscribers, or electing a member to serve upon the
Committee for the appropriation of profits, will incur any pecuniary
responsibility.
The establishment of such a Paper, and the consequent realiza-
tion of the advantages above adverted to, cannot, of course, be
effected without an earnest and well-directed effort being made by
the class of persons for whose benefit they are intended. They are
not required to incur any risk, or the contingency of any pe-
cuniary loss ; they are offered a Weekly Newspaper, at least equal
in size and general interest to any one now extant ; devoted, more-
over, to the advancement of their own interests, anti placing at
their disposal all the profits to be derived from its circulation.
They are called upon merely to co-operate with the provisional
committee in their attempt to achieve this desirable object, by first
resolving to purchase the Paper themselves, and next, by inducing
as many other persons as they can to purchase it also; and as soon
as a sufficient number of Subscribers are obtained to clear the ne-
cessary expenses, agentleman, in conjunction with the Committee,
is prepared to bring out the first number.
It is earnestly requested that this Prospectus may be read in
every Trades' Society, Benefit Society, Political Union, Social
Association, and in all other bodies of the Working Classes ; and
that the respective Secretaries of such Societies, severally, do com-
municate to the Secretary of the Provisional Committee, as early
as possible, the number of Subscribers to the Paper, whose names
and addresses can be handed over to the Committee, so that the
necessary instructions may be forthwith given for the election of a
member for each fifty Subscribers, to serve upon the Committee for
managing the funds to be derived from the Paper.
Any fifty persons of the Working Classes, not now members of
any Society, may form themselves into a body for supporting the
Paper, and elect a member to serve upon the Committee.
Any two or more Societies, not having a sufficient number of
members each to furnish fifty Subscribers, may unite to elect a
member to serve upon the Committee ; and Societies at too great
a distance from town to send a delegate to the Committee, may
empower the representative of any other Society to act and vote for
them.

" Th fact that this treatise has run through a third edition, that
ttt
it has been very extensively circulated, and met with equally ex-
tensive approval, sufficiently attests its merits. It is written in a
plain unlaboured style, and contains a number of grateful testimo-
nials to Mr. Van Butchell from persons who have been cured by
its learned author."--The Western Luminary, May 21, 1838.
Few men connected with the complicated departments of sur-
gery are deserving of more grateful mention that Mr. Van Butchell,
whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in a continued
ess and
course of success in cases of the most ho 1 forbidding pena-
ture. 4' -*
We find nearly every page recording some
astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings had been for many
years' duration, and most excruciating in their nature. The warmth
of expression with which the gratitude of some of the restored is
couched must be truly gratifying to the feelings and highly credit-
able to the skill and judgment of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly
