WX 6 TOK . —On Saturday last a rery large meeting f the working men of this place was held at Mr . Johnston ' s , Crown Ins , Mr . Cameren in the chair , to take into consideration the propriety of adopting the plan agreed upon at the mealing of delegates lately held in Mancaester . The meeting was addressed by Mr . j . B . Haasoo , from Carlisle , who wag one of the delegates lately assembled at Manchester , and who fully explained the plan adopted by the delegates . He strongly recommended the people to think and examine for themselTes , and not to place too much confidence n any one . He pointed oat the very critical position of the people of this country at tho present moment , Mid traced the mischiefs likely to arise from . the mal
administration of our foreign affairs , to the deep and Bt . ^ sh flattery of Lord Palmerston . He conjured the people in the most emphatic terms , . to support those dependent on tlie noble and patriotic spirits , "who "ware now suffering imprisonment for their sates . Mr . Hanson concluded amidst great applaasc , after which , Mr . Charles Smith addressed the meeting , and finally aoTed the adoption of the plan , which was unaaixnotisly carried , and the following gentlemen chosen as council : —Jamea TurnbuH , treasurer ; Edward Mark , secretary ; John Cameron , Joseph Jarden , Joseph Hawe [ Thomas Barnfather , Richard Gate , John-Davidson , John Bryce . A -rote of thanks -were then given so . Mr ! Hanson , and three cheers for Mr . O'Connor and the Charter .
CRXEFF . —Oqp town for some time back has been the hotbed of agitation ; the Chartisto were busily engaged miking arrangements for a series of meetings 10 forward their cause , when the Whigs and Tories became alarmed and united themselTes together to stop the proceedings , but in so doing they only poured oil on the flames , for the working men became indignant and nothing could arrest their determination not to be stopt . The first meeting was hflld on the 1 st September , the subject being total abstinence ; the enemy kept aloof ; bat the ^ eond night , the subject being toe exposition of the U tng Spy System usder Fox Maule , the meeting was rery large , and Mr . A . Donoan handled the subject with great ability ; a few grovelling shopkeepers
¦ m ; a some of their drunken hirelings attempted to disturb the meeting , but were struck dumb -with terror from the tremendous cheering from the -working men ; the lecturer here challenged them to com « forward and refute what had been said , when one of their number came forward and said it was a great shame of the Chartists to use Fox Maule as they had lately done , especiallv as his 2 ady -tr&s -vnth Mm The Lecturer replied that the Fox , as head jailer and skilly maker , had little sympathy for the ladies of the Chartist prisoners of Eagiand ; this vras followed by another tremendous cheer that silenced : he bai-ch for that night . It was then announced that a meetipg would take place the following evening , the subjec ; to be the Corn Law agitation exposed
admission one penny ; the enemy saw that their craft ¦ was in danger , and were to be seen throngh tha course of tae neit day in groups plotting which was the best method of preventing the meeting , and succeeded in running away with the key of the hall , but were compelled to return it ; they then sent the crier ti rough the town calling on their friends to be early at tLe meeting . Before tie hour arrived nearly three hundred working men were a : the place of meeting ; the proceedings commenced ; Mr . Wm . Anderson was called to the chair , and introduced the speaker to the meeting ; the Whigs were all the time exerting themselves to get a band of blackguards together and spared neither money or whisky to any -who would take in hand to disturb it , but to the honour of oar town , scarcely * dozen could be foand . The r-roceedings then went on quietly for a time , when the shopkeepers pare the signal to begin a * row ; -a anaber of
ragamuffins , beastly drank , cried out , dotm frith the Chartists , " and these ragH . were cheered by tha very intelligent shopocrats of Crieff ; then away they went to work , laid open to the meeting a fine saaple of middle class breeding ; they were then ordered if they wanted a discussion , to nominate one of their number , but it w » 3 only & row they wanted ; the working men eat quiet for a time , but any one might see that a storm was brewing ; Biiencs was then called oat , and silencenot being restored , a number of working men started to their feet , some 01 the enemy , dreading the consequence , fled ; some of them who were hardy enough to stop -were caught and thrown to the door in rather a rougher manner thau they relished ; the doors were then closed and the meeting went off in an excellent manner ; the Whiijs and Tories of Crieff , in attessptimj to put down Chartism , have done more to forward the cause than the last rsvo years agitation .
GLASGOW . —Some of our readers are , no donbt , aware of the fact , that the Chartists of Glasgow possess the parish church of St . Ann's , in Grea ; Hamilton-street , for their place of worship , and in which they hold forth three time 3 every Sunday , and crowded to the very door . The seats are free , and a collection is made at the door 3 each service , when from four to eight pounds are collected every Sunday , which go towards the payment of the . rent and other purposes . This i 3 an immense difference from what it was when the church party had it . They did not draw as many pence . The following is an instance of church tyranny ( voluntary churoh , too , ) wherein the individual in question his been expelled from the church a 3 a communicant . Tho histor ? oi ' the is thisThe victim of
case : — voluntary Whig despotism is a young man of a very pioas disposition , and a very useful member of the Kev . Mr . Pnllar ' s church ( Independent ) . The Chartists who officiate in St . Ann ' s , ha-ring heard of Mr . Paul ( for that is the young man ' s name ) , both a 3 regards his talents as a preacher , and as holding liberal principles , called upon him , requesting Mm to officiate the first Sabbath convenient . He at once complied with their request by preaching to " their body in the said church ; and on the following Sunday he preached again to the Chartists of Alexandria , a village ou the banks of the Clyde . ThiB mighty sin having come to the knowledge of the minister ana deacons of the church , a meeting of the omciala ar . d members were instantly called , and after repeated discussions ,
and several meetings , it was carried ( falsely ) by a small majority , that he be disfranchised from the rights of the church . It is a god-Bead ; they cannot disfranchise him of his political right of Toting for a member of Parliament at the first election . When will this spirit of bigotry be at an end . Here is a young man deprived of the privileges of the church , for preaching the Word of God to his fellow-brethren . Good God ! what are we at last come to ! AB these acts of tyranny , however , will tell ; it is the very way to make converts to Chartism ; it vrfli not only have a tendency to plant the principles of liberty still more firmly in his breast , but it will have a mighty sway with others . Several have sent in their resignations , and more are likely to follow . — Correspondent .
KISOERaUKETEB . —On Monday , September tte 7 th , a Chartist meeting was held at the Preemasens' Arms Inn , in tb . 13 town , which was numerously attended ; the chair was taken by Mr . Turner , formerly of the Political Union , a thorough Chartist ; after opening ^ the meeting in a neat and appropriate speech , Mr . bharp rose and proposed ijie following resolution , in an excellent speech . — " That tkis meeting , in accordance with the resolution carried at the la =.: public meeting , do for the future send all contributions to the treasurer of tha Executive Coaacil , instead of the Northern Star , and that vro do apply for the cards of membership . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Quinn , in a long and splendid speech , and carried unanimously , but owing to not Having
any reporter , the speeches . could not be taken dorm at full length ; it was afterwards moved and seconded 14 That Mr . Micklewright , the secretary , and Mr . Holloway do draw up a report of this meeting , for insertion in the Northern Star , " which was carried withont opposition . Mr . Charltoh then being called upon , rose and , in a speech which was listened to with very great attention ,- and received repeated applause , commented very Etrqngly upon the plans which tba present committee had in operation , for the relief of the incarcerated victims , by enrolling the names of any persons as members of the Chartist Association , and paying one penny or more per week , and by so doing , trying their utmost to alleviate the sufferings of those unfortunate persons who had been cast in priBon by their oppressors . The ChairmaB afterwards rose and called upon those persons present who had not enrolled their names as members , to do so immediately , as it was in a
noble cause , and one which ultimately would triumph . Several persons then came forward , and tfie Secretory enrolled their names and amount of subscription , and after other business had been gone through , the ¦ eeting Tery peaceably broke np . The spirit of Chartism in this town , if not working openly , is ¦ working silently ; for the last few weeks the walls hare toe « n marked with different Chartist motto . - * all « ver the town , and also upon the church walls , such as " read the Northern Star ; " " the Charter , and nothing less ; " ** Feargus O'Connor , the friend of the poor f aad many others , which have attracted the notice of the authorities of the town , and the police have received instructions to watch for the offenders . Some of the letters are more than a yard in-height , therefore yen conspicuous .

A Public If bitting of the Brown-street Chartigt Association was held on the 11 th inst ., for the purpose of dissolving the Association and joining the National Association . Mr . George Cole was called to the chair , who said that aa there w& < j a great deal ) f bnsinessto be done , he would not occupy their time by any remarks of his , but would call upon , to move the first resolution , Mr . Matherlard , who did so by observing that the resolution said that they must dissolve and join the National Association ; he perfectly agreed with it , and therefore he would move it : — " That we dissolve this Association now , known by the No . 1 District , and join the National Associa-1

Carren , in a Ion * and able speech . moved tne second resolution : — " That we join the National Chirter Association , belieyinj : that it will be the means of gaining the Charter , i . e . when it is properly organised . ' ' Mr . Cartledge seconded it in a neat speech , repleto with good sense , and made a most powerful appeal to the meeting on behalf of Mrs . Frost and her husband , and concluded by hoping they would indulge him by singing the following lines , which had been composed for the occasion : — chaetist national axthem . God save our patriot Frost ; Let not his cause be lost ; God save John Frost ; And his compatriots bless With health and happiness , And with a quick redress God bless John Frost If ay he survive the pain Till we breafc every chain Which , binds him still ; Triumphant may he stand On his own father-land , An < I hi 8 vlle foes command To do his wilL Our hearts and hands we'll join , In one phalanx combine , With aid from thee , I Confound our foes and thine ; 1 Frustrate their base design Who do in concert join , 'Gainst liberty .

4 DDRESS OF THE DELEGATES ASSEMBLER ^ AT DU RHAM , TO THE MEI ^ OF TH ) i / COUNTY . '¦ ' > ¦¦ - ' / - , < - , , x ' :. . -: : ^ p Men of DUHHAH . —If ererth « re wasattmein th * ¦ history of this country , when the -working elaase * saw cleaily the necesdty for political and nodal ehanW ft is the present . Seeing this necessity arising from the existence in our institutions of corruption , fraud and wrong , and begetting , in the masses , misery , immorality and ignorance , are you equally alive to the fact , that knowing the necessity , it it your duty to reform those institutions which are the cause of that misery . Institutions must change their state as the spirit of the age improves . Tho progress of science and the stupendous achievements of mechanical genius are spreading new features aver society and altering the convictions and the opinions of the multitude . i ^ DDRESS OF THE DELEGATES ASSEMBLEfei ^ AT DURHAM , TO THE ME * OF TH #
Institutions must ever be a reflection of the national mind , else they cease to represent the wants and wishes of the cemmnnityand become antagonistic to them . Such is the present state of the national mind , on which our institutions should be based , that some reformation in the latter is deemed necessary . Our institutions nmst bend to tie republican sentiments springing np in the minds of the people . And , however slow the process , still the truth is progressing , that there ii " something rotten in the state of Denmark j " the people begin to feel they are not happy , and that excessive misery abounds , although natural resources are at the disposal of the country , capable of making what described to be
us we are falsely , " the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world . " You 8 T 8 domineered over by a band of tyrants , who , by robbing you of your rights , virtually regard yo » as " Aliens in blood and aliens hi religion ; " bnt let it never be forgetten that tkey only exist by tha suffrages of the people ; that ?• Tyrants' chains are only strong while slavei choose to wear them ; " that tyranny can only exist in the Government so long as there is slavery among the people ; that as ignorance is the root of all slavery In the people , and the only claim the tyrant has to his power , so intelligence alone can give birth to a people ' s freedom , and vindicate the equality of the monarch and the beggar .
Men of Durham , the same troths ¦ will bear to be told to the people of England . You must know yourselves to eke out your own salvation ; you are giving a practical proof that a " people knowing its own strength , has no enemy to fear but itself . " Who ia it that ponrs tho revenue from the use of intoxicating liquors into the hands of the Government ? The people ! £ 128 , 000 , 000 annually is spent in drink ; and when you reflect that three-fourths of the convictions for crime arise from the use of these liquors , and also on the immense sums spent on the machinery for suppressing and puulshing crime , you see what an engine you yourselves put iflto the hands of the despots .
You are unrepresented in the Legislature , because , forsooth , you are ignorant ; grant the truth . Is this a reason why you are to be tramplod on , you ? oivler despiBetl , thai famine and misery , "leash'd in like hounds , " should crouch for employment and ask leave to toil ? " Who made theo a judge and a ruler over us ? " Has Parliament done ought to remove this ignorance ? If perchance ignorance be united with great wealth in the voter , will thevole , on that account , bo refused by tho member when soliciting his constituents ? If a " tree be known by its fruits , " and if we are to judge the capacities of the governors from the condition of the governed , we should set the Legislature of this country down as the choicest specimen of collective foolery ( . vor exhibited by any natloa under heaven , and be compelled to believe that where there has been such ignorance in the ruling power , there must necessarily have been Ignorance amongst the p « ople . You are
borne down by ixcessive taxation to support , out of the labours of your Industry , those who live in idleness , rendering back no good to th 3 community in return . You nave an army , to support Which sucks up half the free revenue of the country ; you have a host of religion-mongers to pro vide for at a cost of £ 1-2 , 000 , 000 annually ; the nation is bound in recognisances of £ 800 , 000 , 000 to keep the peace , for the interest of such debt , to the contraction of which you ¦ were not parties ; you pay the sum of £ 30 , 008 , 000 yearly ; the industry of the nation is paralysed by the corn monopoly laid on fur the bunotit of the landed interest , at a co 9 t to the country of £ so , 000 , 000 annually , and to which ara attributable the extreme alternations of commercial prosperity and depression so fr < s quent of late years ; all these , mark you , the results of class-legislation , is to be remedied by but one moans the grant of Universal Suffrage . '
Wealth is the only passport to eminence in this country . Poverty is a crime . Bricks and mortar are of far more worth than moral dignity and intellectual deration . The ratling of silks , the glitter of diamonly , and the pageantry of royalty are thought superior to a great genius struggling with poverty , who , as he rises superior to difficulties , ought to cuiumand the admiration of mankind , as if " silkworms and scissors could make ought nobler than a man . " Men of Durham , —Although physical misery is the consequence of a system of legislation whose sacred function is abused by neglecting the end of all Government , viz ., tho securing the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest number , nevertheless this state is not one of necessity
As you become alive to your own interests , as you recognise the rights which belong to you as men , and respect the humanity common to you all , you will seek by all the means in your power to obtain that justice which those who have so long tyrannised over yuu will be slow to give . You product ) by improved iiuichinery ten times as much tva your forefathers ; why ia tha physical misery of the people not alienated ? Because they pay twenty times as many taxes , and keep forty times as many idlers . There are bright prospects in the political horiaon ; the people feel they are not freemen —they have to battle against famine . This has been the great object of their life ; starving children and unhoused poverty on the one hand , want of political
representation and of influence in society to better their condition on the other , has at last taught them to act for themselves . Labour ' s thousand amis of sine-wand of muscle , allconqueriivg everywhere from tbo tops of the mountains to the depths of the mines , ply unceasingly for the service of man , yet man remain- * unserved . But better hopes are beginning to bo tntertainetl : dis ^ satisfaction is extending throughout the masses ; tho soul of humanity U starring from iu deepest depths ; man " s intellect is awakening to a senso of the duty which belongs to him as a moral being— " ' s hopes are Qod ' s prnmiees , " and as sure as yon sun will sot and the seasons roil on in their courses , the freedom you covet will in time be realised , and tha brotherhood of man be recognised therein .
The mind of the masses is more matured by the press and the influence of cheap publications ; it is infused with a more healthy vigour than was the mind of France previous to the revolution ; it was not ripe enough to reap a good fruit from the victory . Everything is tending towards a democracy ; knowledge is diffusing itself and raising men to a common level ; the results of mechanical science are Unking in bonds of sympathy both man , individually , and one nation with auolher . The press and aristocracy are antagonistic principles . Intellect is no longer aristocratic ; it is oWyin ? a similar law to that which regulates the diffusion «" f gassts in tho physical world ; it is blending itself with th « national character . The elements of a good constitution exist in your wish for freedom . The natural result of bad
government is resistance to it . "Tho labour of the poor is his life , and on our lives shall palaced fraud be fed ? " In the coming straggle let us never for ^ t that those who are opposed to us aro also men , and entertain opinions which they believe to be correct ; let us never forget that it is the system—not tha mtn , we wish to extinguish ; let us remember that to the middle classes of feudal times we are indebted for our representative system . Tha Lords are what our iu ^ titutions make them , and its vices , so long as they exist , ¦ will produce the same fruit . Be jtisi in the agifcttion for your rights , and you -vrill gntn that respejt ^ vhich would otherwise be withheld . Be peaceful in youv method of obtaining , but Jirm in demanding , your rights . Consult the records of history for examples to follow ; learn your duty : —
" At your fact , Amid the silent dust of them that went before us . " " Hereditary bondsmen , know ye not , Who would be free , themselves must strike the blow ?" Every great event of history is built upon tho experience of the past , and it is upon the records of the past that man builds up for himself a better state of society . The last great feature , in the political world , was the passing of the Reform Bill . It was the masses who cooperated -with , and gained that boon for the middle classes ; but only by flattery , and by promises of a further extension of reform , all to be broken in tho hour of triumph . Thank l ; eaveu for that ! To it you are indebted for the proud position you now occupy , exhibiting a self-reliauca never before displayed , and a determination to rely on your own resources , which does honour to human nature .
Men of Durham—It is for you to follow up the work so ably begun by the Manchester Delegates as propounded in their plan of organisation . Let every village throughout the county immediately engage itself in the formation of claasea . Few individuals in this county can be so poor as not to afford one penny a week to purchase their freedom with . The cause never had a more prosperous appearance than at the present ; and a penny a -week is a triflo indeed , if by it you can secure peace and comfort to your families , and lasting happinass to the nation at large . Organization , when efficient , links men in the bonda of a common sympathy , engenders a mutual confidence , which , divided , you would not feel , and brings to bear , against our tyrants ,
a power which ia their hands is so fatally wielded for oppressing and debasing us ; attended , however , with this difference , that like all powers to be used for good or evil , in J ^ W hands it -will be a blessing , in theirs an engine of slavery . Never forget that organization is merely a means to an end . One effect to result from it , is the regular support of a missionary to diffuse abroad just principles , and exoite the multitude to devoteduess in the cause . For this your pecuniary support will be unceasingly required . Money is here power ; but still a means to generate a higher , a mightier power , by which the minds of the masses will be elevated , and the national spirit , healthily excited . We beg to impress upon , Cbartista the necessity of making the . cl& ^ eo m much as possible a medium

We would especially impress upon Chartists the necessity of their supporting Meohanios * Institutions , wherever practicable , not merely because they are Chartists , but as a duty the woikingclaases owe to themaelves if they would be respected , and to the cause whose success they are anxious to secure . - ¦ ' Mea « f Par bain !—You axe now going on progressively with your organization ; remember : that alone can never gaio the Oharteri How are you to gain this f Never till you cease to be so much the slaves of your ovm passions , can you become the guardians of the liberties of the country . Whilst you supply the materials of your , oppression to you tyrants , they will wield these as inBkumenta to perpetuate your slavery . A spirit of self-reliance is the offspring of intelligence . Were the sums expended in the use of intoxicating liquors devoted to the education of yourselves and children , what beneficial innuendo * might ensue . Were all teetotallers , less
labour would ibe needed for your support , and more tins left for the cultivation of the mind . Whilst we aro aware it ia often brought as an argument against the poor man that he ia so easily bribed to give his vote for a drop of drink , let us ask whether he is to blame so much ( his poverty being taken into account ) as the villain who tempts him with the bribe , and whose only excuse for the dishonesty is the intelligence he ¦ prides himself in . Apart from the influence it would have on the revenue of the country , and this would be great indeod , government would dread it more as it would make a moral , a thinking , and hence a dissatisfied people . £ 128 , 000 , 000 spent annually in drink ! Write it over your doorposts ; make it the motto over the social hearth ; let every Chartist atwtain but for three months , if no longer , and with one-twentieth of the sum to back us , we might produce a mighty social if not a political change .
"The excise is fattened with the rich result Of all this riot ; and ton thousand casks For ever dribbling out their base contents , Touched by tho Midas tlnger of the State , Bleed gold for Ministers to sport away . We would earneatly recommend every Chartist who has money in the Savings' Banks , to withdraw it . £ 14 , 000 , 04 ) 0 is owing tothe working classes for moHey deposited in its coffers , and were it all to be withdrawn at this instant , there would not be specie sufficient in all the country banks to meet the demand . It is by this method Government Bankers extort a large revenue from the poor , to'be wielded at a fitting time as an engine of oppression .
Go-operation is another means by which the system may be robbed of part of its means of- oppressing the inaaues . Your custom made the middle classes voters ; why should not exclusive dealing make voters among tbe poor , especially where tbe use of various exciseable articles , not necessaries of life , as intoxicating liquors , tobacco and snuff , were abstained from ? Were this practised as entensively as we hope to see it , the middle classes must necessarily lose their vote , or what is more likely , make such a reconciliation with the unenfranchised , as to act harmoniously together for their mutual interests , and to obtain for each a voice in the representotion . A system Hko this is perfectly juBt Men have no necessity , nor are they bound by any moral obligation to support those whe exert their power to other ' s injury No law , civil or moral , is broken by this practice . It
is free from the injurious effects of competition , now so rife throughout society . The people are their own buyers , and can command a trade j a spirit of honest pride is generated of the best results to the working climes . With all the progress philosophy is making ; with all the inventions of mechanical ingenuity , and their application , all their complex combinations to machinery , and the production of wealth , man is yet unsound . Wealth , which ought to flow through the channel of society like a river In its bed , fertilising every thing in its course , is , by its unequal distribution , by flowing into tho coffers of a Jew , only made a more powerful instrument for enslaving the masses ; it is like tho rising sun , partial in its influence , which illuminates tlie tops of the momtaiits , and leaves the valleys untouched .
We would keg to call attention to a subject of great importance , and to which the attention of Chartists will at a future time probably have to be called , viz ., the formation of Benefit Societies in connexion with Chartism . There ia a chain of dependence runs throughout tLe whole of society , as among the various objects of the material universe . One olass of society is dependant on another . Government owes its existence to one port of society , and exists again for the protection of the governed . Chartism is essentially a poor man ' s remedy for a poor man ' s wrongs , and the formation of Benefit Societies would serve to strengthen those links which bind the poor already in such a close bond of sympathy . Members would thus bo provided for against tho exigencies of sickness , and a principle of brotherhood and benevolence thrown around the cause
" Man is dear to man—the poorest poor Long for some moments iu a weary life When they may know and feel that they have bean Themselves tho givers and tho dealers out Of some small blessings , have been kind to those Who needed kindness , for this single cause , — That we havo , all of us , one human heart . " Lastly , as an object to be desired , we would recommend the formation of Youth ' s Chartists Associations , and , whore practicable , of Chartist Schools . A child is the most hopeful subject ; the infant of to-day ia the man of to-morrow . Our characters are mostly formed by the influences uxerted on oar childhood . Train up a child in the knowledge of those principles , moral and political , on which Chartism rest 3 , and " when lie ia old he will not depart from it . "
Suoh are tho observations we think it desirable to address to jou . The particular business done at the delegate meeting , you will find detailed in last week ' s Star . Everything is in your hands . The elements of your political freedom are visible in the spirit by which you uro actuated . Blink no principle , and agitato for nothing short of the Charter , whatever paltry cry faction may raise . Ktly ou yourselves . Keep within the paid of the law . Forget Hot those in prison made sufferers for you . Gather experience from the past , and lay hold of the wisdom to be gained by its perusal . Gather wisdom by your failures . " Mark but yeur fall , and that which ruined you . " It is over a succession of repulsed and fallen instruments that grand plans , liko the ocean tides , make their stc . idy and irresistible advance . The goal is near—O ' er the troubled mirror of the time ia slowly sweeping thu giant shadow of the coming republic Follow Wolsuy ' a dying advice : —
" Be just and fear not ; Let all the ends thou aim ' st at be thy country ' s , Thy Gods , and truth ; then , if thoufall ' st , O Cromwell , Thou faH'at a blessed martyr . "

ioio PARR'S LAST WILL & TEST ASSENT A MOST singular document has TecseBtPjfTbeen brought to light , aad is now iu- the ppwesaiOH of the Rev . Wm . Abthbb , of ; East Peoahimi : it appears to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , whe attained the almost incredible nge of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left thig document to a relation : it is written" on parchment , and although upwards of two hundred years old ia in an excellent state of presertJition The following is an extract : — ' : **' 3 ? heae do certiflo yt ye undermentioned is ye method of preserving health , which by ye grace of Almighty God 'has caused me to attain to my miraculous old age . Albeit in my youth I was afflicted with ye Bloody Flux and King ' s Evil , but twhich all left me by using some dayes ye herbs as herein written . " Here follows the receipt : —
** Moreover , I bequeath to my second Great Grandson ye method I employ for preparing ye medicament . Given thi 3 day , and in ye 147 th year of my age , "Tqomas ' Pabb . " . " Wilmington , Salop , Jaauarie 17 th , 1630 . " This singular character was the oldest man , with one exception , that England ever produced : his biographer says , " the days of his youth , according to his own account , -was a Beries of long and painful illness , bat that by some secret means he cured himself , and was stronger than most men when ha married his first wife , which he did at the advanced age of eighty-eight ; he again married at the amazing age of one hundred and twenty ; at one hundred and thirty he used to thresh corn , and do any laborious work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens of England .
Parr spent much of his time in the study of the vegetable world , aad has fortunately left behind him , though long hid to the world , the valuable fruits of his labours . Besides the valuable receipt from which Parr's Pills are now compounded , there are several MSS ., pieces written in his old quaint style , on the value of health ; his opinions , though somewhat differently expressed , were that the varieties of clime and modes of living make but little difference to our period of existence—that the laws of nature are simple and easily understood , but they require perfect obedience .
The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by tho assistance of a very able chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Parb ' 8 to be made into Pills , and although only a space of eighteen months have elapsed since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cares have been effected ; more than one-half were considered incurable ; and what is more remarkable , caaes which possess the very opposites as regards ontward symptoms : the balBamio and invigorating effects on the blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraoulous ; many who have kept their beds for
years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusion of now blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incurable , is looked upon as tho greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our sysiem is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , muscles , and even solid bone ; this being the case , the grand object is to keep thi 3 precious fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in some way or other .
Cases of every description have all been cured simply by the use of Pabr's Life Pills , thus showing that what haa been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the same cause , and can bo cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they are as pure and harmless as new milk , and m * y be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill health , trlio will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound sleep , and an increase of animal spirits .
To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parrdeep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject .

The Work which is now presented to the publio is the result of very extended experience in a . class of diseases and affections , whicli for some
unaccountable reason have boon either altogether overlooked , or treated with apathy , and almost indifference * by tbe ordinary 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 aro sure to folio tv 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 , whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a PARENT , a PRECEPTOR , or aCLERGYMAN .
Ths PARENT , who belioWs his beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature gravn , in consequence oi 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 canes of young persons of both sexee , who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , tabes , cfec , the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently than is at all suspected .
The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least the rolation and responsibility of a parent , will , by perusing this work , be directed , and very much assisted in investigating and demoting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into sohools , whereby the health and ultimately-the lives of bis pupils are sure to be compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time . He will here fiud 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 bo enabled to check the evil in its incipient state .
The CLERGYMAN , in whose sacred character is at ouce 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 out the disastrous consequences which , are sure to follow from them , if not relinquished . Messrs . CURTIS and CO . are to be consulted daily at their residence , No . 7 , Frith-street ^ Soho , from Ten till Three , and . Five till Eight in the Evoning .

Perry's Purifying Specific Pills , price 2 a . 9 d , 4 a . 6 d ., and 11 s . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L .

the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in 1 moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , atperseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . Perry have happily compressed the : most purifyiug and healing virtues of tbo principal part 01 the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal taint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour .
The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the busi-U 683 is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands ar » annually either mercurialized eut of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the ^ functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of lifo miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to neglect or ignorance . In the
first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise ,-without the smallest injtay to the constitution ; bnt when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a p ity that » young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoymetna of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and b y a disease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proved so a properly treated :
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease owing to the unakUfnlness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , min the constitution , cause nlceration , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness 0 ' sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleetfc nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs , till at length a > general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a
