" Sir . -i-Mrs . Sarah Stansfield , of Dale-street , Salford , says , after taking two 2 s . 9 d . boxen of Parr ' s Life Pills , she has received more benefit from their ubu than from any medical advice or medicine she has been able to procure . She has been afflicted with Sick Head-ache and Bilious Complaints tor a period of seven years , and has scarcely passed a day during that time without pain , until taking the above Pills , aad now , is happy to say , she is quite recovering . ( Signed ) " Sarah Stansfield . 11 April 17 , 1841 . " ¦ ' Stalybridge , April 13 th , 1841 . " Sir , —My brother , William Carnson , No . 8 , Johnstreet , Butcher-gate , Carlisle , was cured of Gravel by taking two boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills ; Betty Marey , of Stalybridge , has been cured of a Head-aofie of many years' standing , by taking three boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills , after spending many pounds with doctors ; John Taylor , a man who fell into the canal , and afterwards broke out in blotches all over his body , the doctors could do nothing for him ; a person that had tried the Pills advised him to get some ; he did , and is now perfectly restored , and many others I do not remember . I am much better myself for taking Parr ' s Pills . I will inform you more fully in a short time of more cases . " I remain , dear Sir , M Your obedient servant , u Carnson . " To Mr . Mottershead , Manchester . " | SECOND LETTER FROM MR . OSBORNK . M Gentlemen , —I write to inform yoa that I have . returned on foot from Liverpool , and maDy of my old friends here are indeed astonished at my altered : appearance and activity . I must also inform you i that my brother-in-law . Mr . W . J . Barres , of this t town , has , through my wonderful restoration to life r and sound health , made use of Parr ' s Life Pills , and I their effaots on him have , if possible , been even more i miraculous than on myself . He had suffered from a , most distressing asthma , cough , &c , for above seven . years , but , after using one box at 2 * . 9 d ., is quite a . new being . The most remarkable part of his caso ) is this—his finger and toe nails , which had become i so diseased that they were quite unsightly , have been . replaced by new and perfect ones . This has been [ considered by many who have visited him a . % a curio-, sity and wonder ; for my part , I have ceased to , wonder at . any cure effected by Old Parr .

The Work is embellished with Eogravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , bf eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations - on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all ltsattendantsympathaes anddangerous oonsequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement o * interruption from business , the . whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriaeum ( Price 11 s . and 33 s . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a . Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY ' S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 23 . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box . are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally . completed in a few days . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of ^ Mercury , has been productive of infinite misohief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untotored think they have only te saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error f Thousands are annually either mercurialised oat of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions o ? nature eo impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable .- The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignoranceT In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions folly pointed oat in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; bat when neglected or improperly treated , a mere local affeotion will be oonverted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of bis country and the darling of bis parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease Which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of 'iterate men j who , by the use of that deadly

      [ COMMUNICATIONS OMITTED LAST WEEK ] Beblts ^—The cause ef democracy is now the pre-TaQing topie . Thaw are few working men who do not now sndezstand wbat the Charter mean * , ' bnt from various causes they are deterred from joining the ranka of the real fryn ^« of Ireland . Mr . O'Higgfcs has again been brought before the public by one of the" disciples of Judas , " bat on » charge w unfounded as any before made against him . He has written a abort bat catting letter in answer to the charge brought against him by ibe " milk and water politician , " who , no doubt , had a rehearsal or two , to " My dear Bay" sad others , before he made his appearance to month his lying charge at the Loyal Repeal meeting . The charge was that Mr . O'Eig&na had said tkjgfc "the union could not be repealed until aU the High Churchmen were extermi

      Tas Irish TTniverjal Suffrage Association bald their meeting oa Sunday last , Mr . W . Woodward in the ekair . The xnintaes of the last meeting were read and confirmed , after which the Secretary read an address from the Boman Catholic Chutists of Bamsley to the Rev . Patrick Ryan , P . P . of Donabate . He stated that a copy , of the address just read and the Bst . Mr . Ryan ' s letters in answer to it had been Bent to the Freeman ' s Journal , bat the " liberal" proprietors of that paper had not yet published them . Several letters were read bom England . Scotland , and Ireland , the former of which give abundant proofs of the sincerity of the Chartista . towards their Irish brethren in bondage , and the latter indicating the spread of Chutist principles by means of circulating the Star , Here the harmony of

      the meeting was disturbed by some of the Loyal Repealers , -whom Mr . O'Higgins had admitted by courtesy one of whom ( Mr . Matthew Tiernan ) said that our looking for TJoiTersal Suffrage was sheer nonsense , that General Suffrage or Household Suffrage was what Mr . O'Connell said was practicable ; that he placed implicit confidence in all Mr . O'Connell had said or done , or that be might do fer Ireland ; that Mr . O Coaaell had refused cfnoe from the Marquis of Angleaea ' a goTsmment ; and asked did not the Chartists of England use physical force , and did they not , said he , join the Tories at Nottingham and other towns in England and Scotland . — The Secretary here aid & few words contrasting the manner in which the last speaker had been beard , who was sot a member , and the manner he was

      treated at the Com Exchange Repeal Association , although he was known to be a member of that body . Mr . Atkinson , in a dear and dispassionate speech cf considerable length , depicted the miseries of Irishmen , which he attributed to class legislation , and said that Mr . O'Connell and those who thought with him . might grow grey like himself , and not obtain what they sought for ; and , in his opinion , the only effectual and Radical cure for the abolition of the monstrous erOs finder which the people groaned , was the adoption of the People's Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr , Dyot , in a speech that would not hare disgraced a senator , spoke to the principle of Universal Suffrage , and the importaaoeof a free press in Dublin , and excluded toe idea of working men paying to an association where they

      had no Toice , and where then * interests never ware attended to . Money , said be , is the only representative wanted by Mr . O'ConnelL Give him money and he can dispense with your presence . The associates bare no Toioe in the Repeal Association . Not so here , where erery man is on a perfect footing of equality . Mr . Woed rose and said that he had just returned from Scotland and England , where he had been on a visit , and he assured the meeting that the people of Scotland * as for as he had been , were the real friends ef the people of Ireland . He said tint in Glasgow more than one hundred thousand persons bad pledged themselves to petition for & repeal of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland . A Toteof thanks was passed to the friends of freedom in Ttnpiiinii and

      Scotland , for the liberal manner they ministered to the wants of the people of Ireland , by sending the two most liberal papers in Great Britain , namely , the Northern Star , and Scottish Patriot ; after which Mr . O'Higgins rase , and said , that he would answer the questions which were put by the gentleman , who said he was Mr . . O'Connell * friend , and a mejiber of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , namely , " did the Chartists of England not show their hatred of the Irish , by returning a Tory for Nottingham ? and by returning Tories in every place they had power to do so at the late elections ? And was not Mr . O'Connell ' s plan of general suffrage superior to Universal Suffrage , and all other plans . ' Could not the people go and vote in seTeral places if Universal Suffrage were adopted ?"

      To the first question , be ( Mr . O'Higgins , ) would reply , that the Chartists of Nottingham took Mr . O'Cbnnell ' s advice to the Irish electors , which was when they could sot get a pledged Repealer to support the next best The Chartists ef England abhor the infamous , atrocious Whig Poor Law Amendment Act , an act which treats poverty as a crime of greater magnitride tfrvn murder , robbery , and rape ; because a man guilty of the latter shocking , revolting crimes , would be deemed innocent until found guilty by a jury of his cuuulry , whereas , on the other hand , the moment that misfortunes drive an honest , sober , good man , to seek even a temporary asylum in a union workhouse , his Bead is shaved , and a felon ' s dress is put on him . If he has a wife and children , they are all separated , never to

      meet again , unless some good fortune releases them from the workhouse , and in the event of death , which frequently and unaccountably happens in those dens of hnman misery and suffering , the bodies sis given up for dissection to some neighbouring hospital , for young Burgeons to practice upon . Now , the English Chartists always looked upon this Act of Parliament as one of the . greatest grievances of modern invention ; and the electors of Nottingham knew right well > that Mr . Walter , of the Tines , the Tory candidate , was the consistent opponent of this flagitious Act His adversary , the Whig , was the advocate of that bill , and the Chartists of Nottingham supported Mr . Walter , not because he was a Tory , but because he was the consistent opponent of the Poor Laws Amendment Act

      Asd even now , when the Tories are in power , he is opposed to them , and will continue to oppose and expose tV-m , unless they repeal that Act With regard to the second question . The Chartists did not retain Tories , as such , but they did return them in some places on the same grounds , and for the same reasons , tiat they returned Mr . Walter . Besides they were so foolish as to return their own friends , whenever they could do so , in opposition to both Whig and Tory . The plan they adopted was a very judicious one , and one which we should follow at our elections . They made the first offer to the Whig candidate to split their votes with him , provided his friends would split with the Chartist candidate . " Begone , ye torch and dagger men , you midnight assassins , " said the Whig .

      Well , they made a similar offer to the Tory , who said , " I do not like your principles , but you have a right to be heard , and to send as many members as you can to represent your views , wants , and feelings , in the House of Commons , and I will split with you . " The result of this wise and sensible poiicy on the part of the Chartists is , that they have upwards of forty friends aad advocates in the present House of Commons , 'whereas they had but three in the last one ; and what is still better , these forty English members are pledged to extend the same rights , privileges , and immunities to Ireland , which they hope to obtain for England ; in fact , to trest Irelind , in every respect , as if it were an- English county . Does this look like hatred of Ireland ? ( No . no . ) As to the difference between

      Universal and General Suffrage , it is such a miserable , paltry , pettifogging quibble , that it is unworthy of a serious reply , but , said Mr . 0 Higgw , I will give the gentleman who has asked the question , just one month to tell us the exact difference between the two terms .. Universal Suffrage always bore the same clear and simple meaning , which is , tb&t every male inhabitant of this empire of twenty-one years of age , of sane mind and not convicted of a felonious crime , by ~ a jury , should have the right to Tote at the election of a Member of Parliament Now , this is Universal Suffrage ; and if we had it , who would be the members for the County and the City of Dublin ? ( Hear , hear , not West and Orogan , and Hamilton and Taylor . ) As to the people ToUng in great numbers in several places at the sane

      election , the accusation comes with a very bad grace from those who profess to be the friends of public liberty , and who declare that the Irish people are the best and most virtuous in tke world , when it answers a purpose , and then turns round and accuses tfeem of tke basest of crimes , when the accusation answers a different purpose . But to do away with all cavil and to obviate every apprehended difficulty whether real or imaginary , the People's Charter makes ample provision , « nd the original of that Charter is to be found in Ja&Se ' a History cllrelaad , rollv . aad page -il 4 . It iras copied from that book or from some other Irish book by Mr . O'Connell , and handed by him to some members of the Working Men's Association in London ,

      dashing them , at the t ime , to agitate for it and for nothing less , and at the same time , saying that " He who is not a Chartist is either a knave who profits by the evils of misrule , or a fool upon , whom facts ana reason make no impression . " ( Great cheering . ) The Charter provides that all the elections in Great Britain sad Ireland , shall commence at the same hour and conchide before five o ' clock the same day . ( Hear , hear . ) Howeould the people vote in several places under such drcumstaooee ? Mr , O'Higgins concluded by hoping that he had given satisfactory answers to the questions , and rf »™ m « nJ hit seat M ^ - Clarke was * called to the chair , and thanks wen given to the Chairman , when the meeting ¦ operated .

      London , and to determine the propriety of aiding thtm in their present struggle An operative mason , from London , will address the meeting , and explain the cass of the workmen . —Working men , land enemies of despotism ) the cause of the London masons is your cause They have struck , net to procure an advance of wages , but to resist the intolerable tyranny of a taskmaster , Allen , the foreman of the above works , a man whose coarse and brutal nature unfits him to govenfany , but those sunk so low in the scale of humanity as to be governed only by the whip of the slave-driver . Such a man is a disgrace to such an employment , and utterly unfit to superintend a body of Intelligent British working men . Caair to be taken at eight o ' clock . " In accordance with the above call , a pubHe meeting was held on Tuesday

      evening—Mr . James Young , an operative stonemason , was unanimously called to the chair . He observed that whatever difference of opinion might exist upon other subjects n . mnng ^ . the capitalists , they all ijHid Is t »« thing , that it was their doty to wring as mnoh wealth as possible from working men ; and . If this could net be accomplished by other means , they would not scruple to coerce them to effect their purpose . The present meeting , however , was called , not to enable a portion of working men to maintain wages , but to convey to those engaged in resisting a system of degrading tyranny the assuranca that they had the sympathy , and , if necessary , should also have the support of that meeting . ( Loud cheering . ) He would not , however , enter into any details ; these would be best communicated by a friend who had felt the system in operation . He , therefore , had much pleasure in calling upon Mr . Alexander Wilson .

      Mr . Wilson ( who is one of the eighteen Masons that carried the National Petition into the House of Commons ] then stood forward , and was received with great cheering . He commenced by observing that it was not bis intention to attempt what might be called a speech , but he could tell them a tale of facts , which he would challenge any man to deny . His presence in the country would not have been necessary , had it not been for the conduct of a corrupt press , In giving insertion to a tissue of falsehoods in fa / our of the masters , and refusing on aay conditions to publish a fair statement of the case between the workmen and Messrs

      Gnssell and Peto their employers . That abominable paper the Times , and others had been guilty of such conduct to « arda them ; but , whatever might be their perversion of the case , he could assure the meeting that he had been nine months under that abominable monster Allen . Daring that period he had sees htm guilty of Innumerable acts of tyranny . He had seen him abuse men every way superior to him ta physical and moral character for no offence whatever , be had treated them worse than he could treat a " mongrel dog . " ( Laughter , and cheers . I His conduct was Indeed most intolerable—so much so that he and his brother

      workmen generally , went in a morning fully prepared to take up their tools and " »* rc > v In such a state of mental agony and uncertainty were they that they never knew in the morning whether the tyrant Alien would allow them to work their day out He " sack' * " the men at any time , without a moment ' s warning , and without any just cause of offence . ( Cheers . ) He would relate a few facts , illustrative of his character and conduct After they struck , they sent a letter to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests , to aake them acquainted with their grievances . They stated that they were prepared to prove the following cases . The first was that of an Individual who had- been engaged on the werks , and had the misfortune to- get his leg broken by a fall from the scaffolding . He- was

      off work some time , and when he recovered he came back to the works , and thoaght that though not able to work hard , there might yet be some light work which he would be allowed to work at to procure bread for his family . He was not able to walk well , but still knowing that he had received his injuries at the works , he thought that , from the common feelings of humanity , they would sot exact too much from bim-afe first Hawever , be was mistaken . No sooner had hecommenced work than Allen came , and finding him at it , and unable to walk without Kmping , thus unfeelingly insulted him by ordering him to take up his tools and go , as be " did not want smch d—d hobbling fellows about the works . " ( Load cries of " Shame . " ) The next case was one of a workman who learnt that

      his wife was very ill , and not expected to live . He wished to be present at her dying bed , and accordingly ^ Alien not being on the works at the time , went to the under-foreman , and asked his leave , which was immediately granted . Well , when the nan returned , Allen came to him , and asked where he bad been . He told him , when the brute said , " The » go , and die with your wife , and be d—d to you r * ( Shame , shame- ) Another case was a poor fellow who had been tramping about for three months out of work ; he applied , and was set on , but , owing to his exhausted state , he hall not been more than a few boors at work , when he was taken bad , and was compelled to leave work . He was off three days , and -when be retained Allen told him to " go back , be wanted sound smb . " A young man ,

      belonging to Manchester , received iatelligenee that his mother bad died ; he asked whether they would allow him to go down to her funeral , and make some arrangements about the disposal of some little property . He was asked how long he would require ; he answered about three weeks . This was refused : he was informed that if he went fee might stop away . The young man then agreed to take a week , but this also was refused , yet the men advised him to go , and resolved that if he was discharged they would all strike . This was deter mined at & general meeting of the workmen . No sooner did Allen hear of this , thin he discharged the man who presided at the meeting and six others . The man went W hen he returned , Allen was toe cunning to manifest his malice by discharging him immediately , but he found

      means to gratify his nature by setting him to work at tha roughest work about the building . The men observed this , aad resolved that they would not allow the poor fellow to be thus trampled on . They addressed a letter to Grissell and Peto , stating that the conduct of Allen was past all endurance , and they wonld not in future work under h *™ Messrs . G . and P ., however , replied that they would not be dictated to , and that they , the men , might think themselves honoured in receiving an answer to their communication . The nen wrote again and advised the masters to reconsider the matter as it might become a more serious affair than they anticipated . Messrs . Q . and P . then consented to receive a deputation from the men , when they promised that the men should not in future have cause to

      complain . Allen , they said , was a " rough diamond" but a good one . The men consented to go to work again , and they had a calm for about four weeks , until the following circumstance occurred The works are carried on simultaneously , and Allen anxious to get as much work as possible from the men , devised the following scheme . He kept the men working sbout snail jobs , until he had as many stones up as would enable all to work regularly on , all round the building , calculating that by this arrangement , the men being spirited , would work against each other , and make slaves of themselves to enrich their masters ; but the men , with but few exceptions , resolved not to do so , yet , a few were such fools as to work like horses to beat their fellow-workmen . These got their work done sooner , and Allen

      when be found this resolved to compel the other workmen to work at the same rate ; he , therefore , " sacked " a number who bad not produced the same quantity , and bullied and blustered about the works , in fact , it was evident that no matter what the mental and moral character of the workmen , the only man who would be respected by Allen was the man who produced the roost work , no matter to Allen if he mined his constitution by it He might go to the devil , or the dogs for aught he cared . There was one individual in particular who was guilty of this folly and meanness ; he tore away like an old collier ' s horse—( laughter)—the consequence was , he was done before the others . The men considering this system of chasing an abominable one , and knowing that they had done , and were willing

      to do a fair day ' s work , met and resolved to fine those who should be guilty of it They did not mind a reasonable difference in the quantity ; they did not wish to bring all down to the lowest standard , they only wished to restrain thai excessive spirit cf rivalry ; they therefore determined to fine those who should be guilty of it That individual was ordered to be fined , and was fined . This gave Allen an opportunity of breaking out again ; he accused the men of conspiring to rob the masters , and swore be would discharge 100 of them by Saturday night This they , tue men , could prevent , asd they determined to do it They wrote to the masters , and informed them they could no longer work under Allen , accordingly they all struck . He ( the speaker ) knew that he was a rational being , and

      ought to be treated as such , A Hen did not know or care ought ot this , and therefore be had left him ; and , by the blessings of God , never would return to work under such a tyrant The men had an interview with the masters : the latter were asked whether the men bad not been doing a fair day ' s work ? whether they had not been industrious sxd attentive ? Mr . Grissell said they had . He ( the speaker ) then asked what they wanted ? Yet after this , and putting up on the works placards , acknowledging the men were industrious , the masters bad the folly and audacity to represent through the newspaper press that the men ware indolent and unwilling to work . The speaker then observed he mast give them one or two additional facts . At the Parliament works , there was no water to be had by the men ; but a beer boy came round once a day . This baer was supplied by a relative of Allen ; the men were compelled to buy of him , no other beerseller being admitted to the works . The beer was often so wretch- . i t r I i , . . ) i . [ , , , .

      edly bad that a pig would have ran away from it ( Loud laughter ) There was a class of men employed who were , however too poor te buy beer—here were the labourers earning about 10 s . or 12 s . per week . Well there was a pump in the Parliament Yard , elose by , to which those fellows were wont to resort to quench their thirst ; bat Allen , when he learnt this , had the base ness to procure a lock and get the pump locked down , thus compelling them eitker to buy his relative ' s bad beer or leave their thirst unquenched . ( Load cries of " shame . ") One morning- about fourteen men were standing at the gates a little before six o ' clock , getting esch a cap of coffee from a poor old woman who earned a livelihood by the sale of it Allen came up , and without making any observation went in and shut the gates , the bell then rung a&d a few minutes elapsed before the men could get in . They immediately went to their work , but Allen came round and having recognised nice of tile men , he ordered them to take up their tools and walk off . He might have struck them off a [ , [ , . .

Grissell and Peto were making in all parts of the country to get men , and the manner in which the miserable creatures who had come were treated on their arrival , and having made some excellent observations upon the bad spirit shewn by tiw masters , expressed his conviction that from the Losdon masons they wonld not get twenty men to go in , however long the struggle might last He then read a placard shewing that the masons employed at Woelwieh Dock Yard and at Nelson ' s mono .-ment bad resolved to strike also . < Ghe * rs . ) The press ha * stated that these men wanted to strike , bat the onion would not let them at first , and now the press

      stated that these mea had been compelled to strike by order of the union , which was utterly untrue . The onion had nothing to do with it He thought there wonld aow be a vmeaaey for Allan , he might be ment to Woolwich . Do * Yard , and © ntalniythere in not another place which he was more fit for . ( Laughter and cheers . ) He was sorry to find that Mr . Grissell appeared determined to screen and retain Alien . He ( Grissell had stated to some of the men that he would not keep a foreman who could not keep bis workmen under as complete a state of discipline as that which prevailed in an army . Bat the men had replied that they considered

      themselves rational beings , and bad minds too enlightened to be brought under any thing like the disdpttae of an army . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . W . then commented upon the conduct of the press , and gave the Weekly Dispatch a severe and well-merited leaning , denouncing it as utterly on worthy the support of working men . He then read ¦ placard shewing that the Joiners of London bad resolved mot to support it , and coneladed by observing tbat he cane oat after deliberation , and would stand firm ; he knew they could' not be defeated now , because they never had a better cause , and they were all determined to stand to it Mr . W . then sat down amid great and oontiaaed cheering .

      Mr . Barcla ? ta mason ) then moved the first resolution : — " That It is the opinion of this meeting that the eonduct of Allen , the foreman of Grisell an * Peto , has been most tyrannical and unjust , towards the workmen aider his authority , aad this meeting therefare considers that the said werkaen were fully justifiable in requesting his discharge , aad on refusal in- pitting their employment " Mr . Smith , another masoa , in an excellent address , seeoBded the resolution . Mr . Williams also sapportedit in a long address , during which be was much' ebeered , but our limits-will not permit us to give his aor any other of the subsequent speakers' excellent addresses . The second resolution was * meved by Mr . Tavsos , seconded by Mr . Bago , and- ably supported by Mr . BlNN 9 > 5—

      • ' That considering tbat the- strike of theaforemen * tioned workmen has been cdled ferth , not from- » desire to obtain advanced wsgesj bat from a determination to resist tyranny which it would have been die * graceful to-submit to , this meeting feels , that the said ' workmen are deserving its sympathy and support , and 4 therefore resolves to aid them b > every means in itspower , and urgently recommend * tibe same to all wb »> value manly independence of character . " Both resolutions were earried by acclamation . Mr . BiNNSi moved , and Mr .
