Mr . Bairstow was next introduced by the chairman , who oc-¦ enpied the attention ot bis bearers npinfdi of an BOUT , commenting in brief terras upon every clanse oontained in the national plan , and concluded with exhorting the assembly to become unitsd , to fo r m themselves into classes , and the day would not be far distant when our efforts would ba crowned with

DCaiUM Missiokart . —The delegates m&t at Dnrbam , acted according to the Instructions received from their constituents ; they determined to appoint a missionary for ths county ; they fixed wfao that missionary had to be , and awarded him a salary of £ 3 per "ffeuk . and the delegates deputed tho secretary to write to Mr . Dergan to know whether be wcnld accept the offer ; tiiiB has been done , and Mr . Deegaa baa complied with the request It is werj rare for a Member of Parliament at his return to his constituents , to have to reproach them for their apathy , and for their want of support in the measure * , which , by their direction , he has thought fit to advocate ; nevertheless this is precisely the position in -vrhicL the delegates or Durham are pl&eed . We are about to eead for the missionary , —who is to supply
the funds ? Who , but that people , whose servsat the missionary Is ? Wo are bound , in common hcnes ' . y , to see that -we have the mf ar . 8 of supporting that HiLMonary , before we finally eng ^ e him ; for , we tell you , thongb . ha is the servant , he is not the slavo of the men of Durham . We tell yon honestly , and speaking honestly once may save speaking tvrenty times dlshonet-tly , vre have not at present tho means of supporting him . Surely the ' intellectual labourer is worthy of Ms hire . " We have sent 20 a . from Suaderiand to tho executive council at Manchester ; - ? re have about 30 s . on hand ; tlliS stini It -will take te bring the -missionary down to
SundKrland , —where iB his \ n * kly salary to come from Not one farthing of that money has been contributed by any colliery , village or town , tbronshout Durham . This cannot , shall not larf ; money must bo had , or the missionary cannot come . Toll us not tke people cannot afford it : pshaw . ' they e ^ n afford to put poison down their tar ^ ti " to slual-away their brains . " They can afford to support their enemies ; they can afford to support the armv and nary j they can afford to make monarchy look glorioos , and flingriche 3 to their tyrants who make the world their plaything . One penny » -wt « k can purchase your freedom , toe want of It will make you slaves : —
" We , are we not slaves ? Yes , the slaves of slaves ; And , worm-like , crawl upon our fathers' graves . " Set every colliery and Tillage , throughout th « country immediately , and without waiting till some speaker comes among them : form classes among your acquaintances , to subscribe thtir penny a-week , appointing from amongst their boJy a secretary and treasurer . It is earnestly requested that each place remit the money as soon , and as regularly as possible , to the county treasurer , lit . Htmsley , of the Bridge Store , Sunder . and . It is advised , where practicable , that a subscription be immediately raised toward the expense of the missionary , for although this practice , by the formation of classes , will not be so common as formerly . It is at present necessary until the elas . 'jej are in a better state of forwardness . The cards of membership will soon be out , and these districts which transmit tho names of tbeir classes , with tbeir secretary and treasurer , to Mr . Hemsley , will receive their cards . Cbartvsts . to work !
KtATrerxEZ » x > . —The mercenary minions of the tyrants in this neighbourhood are busily employed collecting subscriptions to purchase a piece of plate , to present to the cotton-spinning autocrat , and the other upstart cifi-iiis , for their unconstitutional conduct on the memorable twelfth of August—memorajlc for being tho anniversary of the cut-threat Casilereagh ' s . ' ast and best exploit—memorable aUo fur being tbe day tyranny was unmaskeJ , and a peaceable meeting of the industrious classes dispersed , asd a number of them pent to prison to bo treated like felons , whose only offence wa 3 meeting to address their sovereign , praying her to spare the Jives of the men then umlr . r sentence of death at Warwick . The mushroom npstarts vainlv thought
th ? r eonltl crush Chartism , but they were mi ^ aken , for WC a -Q ktrangor now ll > au ev&r . The tyrannical proceeding of tbe unpaid and their bludgeon-men on that oerasion , has thorougly convinced the sons of toil anl labour , tbat the Charier 13 the only saiV ^ nard against the tyrannical conduct of the village despots . When Chartism expired here , it only died the death of the phcenix . The young bird will be stronger and bolder than ever the old one was . Those iicr ^ pittles can patrol from house to haase , begging money With impunity , whilst brave fellows , such as White , cf Leeds , and ethers , are consigned to gloomy durgoous for eoUectirg money to support tbe
people s cause . Does uot this show there is one law for the rich and another for the poor ; or , properly speaking , there is plenty of law , but no justice for poor men . Working men " , follow the example of your opprcssor 3 , and collect for poor Broyau , of Smton , : o crable hm to discharge th * beary law expenses lhat have beea incurred in defending bis aud your rights . Briton ? , War Ln mind there was batr one farthing damages awarded , and ho has hi £ own expenses to" pay , after having his house plundered by a sec of brigands . I would advise the toadeatora to steo over to Newstead , for then they will find a few Imc 3 on the d--g-tomb that will be quite &pproj ) 7 iaie for an inscription . For their subscription plate they are as follows : —
"Oh ! maT » , ihoufetblo tenant of an hour , Debas d by slavery or corrupt by power ; Who knows ihee well will trust thee with di . * gU 3 t , Degraded n-a ^ s of animated dust . Your love is lust , your friendship ' s all a cheat—Your smiles hypocrisy , and your words deceit . Debased by liai ' iire—eunob . est but by name , Each kindred brute msy bid you blush for shame .

There used to bo great doings in the name of Chartism in daya "lang syne , " but since the incarceration of the honourable patriots who figured her * about the time of the Bull Ring doings of 1839 , adeath-liko stillness has reigned where the Chartist declamations , loud and frequent , fomerly agitated the "Brums . " I may probably make an exception in respect of the " PEMONsxiuTioff" (!) in honour of Lovett and Collins ( whose names I rerere ) , but with the last shout , of what I fear was bo more than pot valonr , oa that occasion , tbe -spirit of Chartism has relapsed into its former slumber , I have made fre *

HAWXCK—The border is again in a blaze . Tho note of preparation for another , and a more determined onset has already been Bounded ; " the Associations in the different towns aremarking out plans for future operations , and are lapidly iuoreasiug in strength ; a spirit « f unity , seems io pervade the a d voca t es of g enuine fr eedo m , aad everything bodes well for our righteous cause . Our enemies are getting completely disheartened , and even though a star of the first- magnitude was to appear amongst them , it must now be in a private manner . This was evinced the other day , when Lord John Rutwell Or rascal , as * quondam admirer now calhi him , ) passed through Hawiok on a visit to the First Lord of the Admiralty at Minto House . The magistrates , who , it appear * , ^ kan'dO Johnny oomin , " had given notice that tho bolls were to bo set a . ringing :
tue ireeoom oi tne town was to be presented to him in a pufclia manner ; and everything possible was to b 9 done to bring back the auld lang syne system of idol worship ; but a gentle hint from the Chartists , that they meant to honour his Lordship and his Whig friend with their presence on the oocaaion , completely annihilated all . their plans . Little " finality " himself , not relishing Ha wick gratitude , which might probably have resembled that showu t o Fox Maule at Crieff , sent notice to tho magistrates that , unless thoy waited on him at Minto House , about six miles distant , and there preseut him with tho freedom of the town , they might keep it to themselves ; this of course they were obliged to comply with ; and when he did pass through Ha wick , which he took eare should be early in the morning , there was not a dozen individuals present to say , *• God bless him . " How different will the case be when honest men—when Collins and firDouaU come to tell us of tbeir aud our wrongs , and the way to have them righted . Aotive preparations are making for their reception , whieh will be one of the most cordial that ever buffering patriots received , and well do they deserve it .

I have now to inform your readers that , since I last addressed you , a Christian Co-op . rat : ve Jobt Stock Community has been formed in Sdanchfestcr , tbe lading object of which Is to locate its nieiiib-jrs on tbo land , with the view of ensuring to thorn" constant-a-Vd regular employment , a competent supply of food and raiment , comfortable homes , support i : i old age , and a certain prospect of provision for their children . All this we propose to do , great as tho ' umLxtaking may appear , and , in reality , Is , by leasing forthwith a plot ot land to be vested in trustees . The land to ba brought into cultivation as fast as our resources v . ill admit Of it .
and the produce of _ one acre to be expanded in cultivating more , until a ' suSici ' eht quantity Is brought intoiiitt :-vation to maintain those who may wisli to ba tha first settlers , ana &o on until the whole of us ar < s located upon it , which we expect will cot tw any very jjreat length , of time This done we purpose to divile a small portion of the yearly protits , n-St-rving the bulk for the purpose of purchasing a freahoM a . c-vnst , or provious to , the expiration of the lease . Oar intention is to commence operations early in the next year , and to g < st twocr-. ps off the land the flr » t yoar , if possible , which we think we shall , with God ' s blessing , be able to accomplish .
We purpose to raise the funds by weekly , monthly , and quarterly subscriptions ; each member to be considered as holding one shave in the community of five acres each , and should any of our niymbers- be dispo .-ud to make any advances in cash , such persons will be ^ titled to £ iu equivalent sha ? e of tho profits , before thy others . We now invite the assistance * and cooperation of tie Christian public everywhere , and shall be giad to correspond witn the society which has lately been formed in London ; assuming , from whftt UtJa we have heard of thuuj , that their objects and views aro similar to onr own .

1 .-. neve modo 6 f diTine worship , and the system of civil i-i Wbil . as religious , ceremonies at'opted by tho Chiirtluts of Crlasgow , form tUe most remarkable faatures of all the political movements of the present time . It appears that the Chuvlista in that city have tfJcen the lease of a Church ,, anil there regularly perform Church service , * preach , pray , baptise , marry , and administer tke 3 ; vcra ; nent , without clergymen . According to a report uv . ule by a Committee of tlie body , they have never found themselves in want of preachers , " who have declared to them the counsel of God , not in the f : i 3 hion : ible rhetoric of the tlay , but in tbe
simplicity of the Gospel . " From all accounts , they appear to boiinen v > £ . a religious turn of uviad—well aoqxiaVated with thu Scripturos , and fully determined not to yield submission to the present arbitrary cpn'luct of the Kirk . They , in { act , Bay to the clergy , " We . can do without you ; you can show U 3 no divine authority for the position you have as 3 umevl in society ; and , witli the Bible in our hands , from which ; we have sufficient w ^ trant for our proceedings , we- *' will Oiir 3 elve 3 perform all the religious rites prescritied by it" The Scotch clergy , who , according to the Bialiop of Exeter , aro no clergy , will find it difficult to gainsay thiB argdment ; acd as it is not at all improbable that these new religious doctrines will be adopted by tho Cttattlsts aa a body in England as well as Scotland , wo 'Venture to say that the English Prelates , with . all their vaunted
rights , acquired by , Apostolical Catholic succession , will find themselves treated with as littlo ceremoay as the successors of John Kaos . It is impoaaible to foresee what revolutions this Hew system of administering ' religious rites may produce , but two things are ^ certain , it will form a bond of union tenfold stronger than the Charter , aud the clergy both of the Church of England and of Scotland will find that their grasping and tyrauuical conduct have produced the result . ' ' Whon wo bod Buch . a mefcting as tnat whieh vpos held &i Edinburgh but tho other day , on Sabbath Funeral * , and a religious society like this formed under the ; very nose of the Churchr for doing away with all clergy , we may be assured that there ia something rotten in the system of Ecclesiastical Government even in the republican Church of Scotland—Sun .

Sir . --Conaidering that the public would be greatly > enefited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I have derived by taking Blair ' s Goat aud Rhoumatio Pilla , I herewith send the particulars ofmy ease , and the medical certificate , Dy which I was invalided . I was : first attacked with Rheumatic Gout in 1826 , from which period to 1833 I was under the treatment of the late Dra . Bed , Horner , and Jacoba , as well as b y the present Dr . Davis , all of Hampstead . From , 1833 to 1838 I was at St . John's , Newfoundland , doing duty as a Subaltern ia the Royal Veteran Companies , where I suffered most
severely , and was under tho care of Surgeon Huston , R . V . C ., Staff AssUtaut-Surgeon Ferguson , and Mr . Shea , private practitioner there , without being abie to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three or four times annually , wh ic h becomin g s o bad caus e d the garrison order for the Medical Board , as before named . —About the middle of last February and the whole of March my sufferings were dreadful ; ia fact , t was unable to mv ^ e without being carried ; wheu Major Birch , of Cro&d&Ie , near Farnham , a mjgUtrate of this counly , kindly oommisserating my situation , callod on me for the purposa of taking my affidavit , that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing mo in so miserable a state , advised me to trv uiair 8 xiovn ituenmatio

I have since had several attacks , but as soon as I feel the least sensation of the disease I take the pills , which have at
once removed ail symptoms . I may also mention that the chalk which had formed on my ears has disappeared , aud where it formed in my fingers is decreasing . _ I have oeasad to have those very weakening perspirations to whioh I was subjooi before trying the pills . Were you to print my case , and appoint an Agent in St .

OLD PARR'S liAST WILL & TESTAHESNT . A MOST sipgulw document has recently beea brought to light , and is now in the possession ot the Rev . Wm . Arthbr , of East Peckham : it appearB to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , who attained the almost ineredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who j cfi this document to a relation * it is written on parchment , arid although upwards of two hundred years old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following is an extract : — " These da certifio yt yo anderraentioTied fa ye metnod of preserving Uealth , which by ye grace of Almighty God has caused me to attain to my miraculoui old age . Albeit ia my youth I was afflicted with ^ ye Bloody Flux and King ' s Evil , but which all left me by using some dayes ye herbs aBheroiu written .

»«»» wue uunursu aua twenty ; at oue hundred and thirty h * used to thresh oorn , and do any 'laborious work . He had seen ten King 3 and Queens Of England . ¦ - :. Parr spent much of his time in the study of the vegetable world , and has fortunately left * behind hmj , though long hid to the world , the valuabld fruits of hia labours . ^ Besidea the valiiaVe receipt trom which Parr ' a Pills are now compounded , there are several MSS . i pieces written in his old quaint style , on the value of health ; his opinion ? , thonch somewhat differently expressed , were that the varieties ! of chma and modes of living make but little difference to our period of existence—that the laws of nature are simple and oasily understood , but they require perfect obedience . ^ The Clergyman who holds the valuable document apovomentioned , has , by the assistance of a very aole chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Park ' s to be made into Pillsand although
, only a spaco of eighteen months hare elapsed since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have been ( Iwcted ; more than oue-half were considered incurable ; arid what is mere remarkable ^ cases which , possess the very oppositos as regards outward ^^ Ptonas : the bfalsamic and invigorating effects on tho blood produced by those medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beda for years havo been bo speedily re-invigorated with an infusion of new blood , and consequently of new life ami 8 » rongtli , that their re-apoearance amongst their A £ Uow ; beuiga , who had long given them up as incurable , 19 looked upon as the greatest of tho many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our system ja built up from the . blood—nerves , smews , muscles , and even solid bone ; thiB being the case , the grand objsct is to keep this precious , fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in somswayoi oth 6 r .
Cases of . every description have all been cared simply by the use of Park ' s Lipe Pills , thus showing that what has been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in tha same cause , and can be cured by one uniform treatment . Although- powerful in conquering disease , they , aro as pure and harmless as now milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , however , weakly from long ill health , who 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 aud i effects , and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits en the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of ^ -subject .

Oa "Sunday evening , the Market-place of this city-a place similar to the Bull Ring in Birmingham , aatf nsaani oefeU |) ied on those . eveiing * by local ftMhodfet Jreacbirsj-became ^ neitBeatR of YnovelaM'tralyerhgolar scene . ' - - * *¦ ¦¦¦¦>¦¦ *• . _ About half-past , seyen o ' clock , the . preacher , as uaaal , took his staad . ander theIamp-posf . addressW an * ii | embly of f 3 O 0 or : 400 people . He had proceeded about half a n hour , when a fftshiohably-dreswid young man took his stand on the elevated soot
occupied by the preacher , where he remained some time , until the preacher came to a full stop , when he commenced addressing the congregation , to tho utter wonderment of the disconeerted preacher . He began by saving , he hoped the meeting would give mm credit for sincerity of purpose in attempting to aemonstrate to them that true religion was not in exteriev ehow or professions of faith , in the spirit of which they had heard so much ; but by endeavouring by good works to show that they practised the doctrine of Divine command , by loving their neighbours as themselves , and doing to others as they would
tnat others should do to them . But how could they practise this love if they stood aloof from the men who professed the only maauB of giving contentment and comfort to the great bulk of mankind , which could only be effected by the whole people being fairl y repre se nte d , er , in other worda , enjoying , a full share in the elective franchise ; he would , therefore , earnestly nrge thorn to abandon that canting about religion , and show that they would practise it ny joining the Chartists iu the shout for Universal Suffrage , and making the Charter the law of the land . It would be impossible here to give a description ' of the scene that ensued . This declarationaud from a stranger too—was too muoh to bs borne with , the preacher clapped his haads , the women , whined and wailed , soveral voices vociferated M sent you here ? ' Who paid yonl" " What is yonr name , " &c ?
The speaker said , he- was neither Bent here , nor paid for coming , but a volunteer in the cause of truth , and gave his name Clancy , and then went on iu a rory earnest and warm manner to expouud the principles of the Charter . By this , time , the meeting had considerably increased , and , iu consequence of tbe various parties composing it , considerable agitation seemed to pervado the whole body , what was to be done with the new agitator . At length the preacher hit upon the following ruse , by which ho gained the Ios 3 of his congregation : A hymn was given out to drown the voice of the speaker , but it waa an unlucky hit , for the speaker immediatel y wi t hdrew , and was followed by the whole congregation , leaving the preacher aud a few
nice youug maidens binging hymns to the lamp-post , iho meeting continued to follow Mr . Clancy till the magistrates , careful for the safety of her Majesty ' s loyal subjects , and of her Majesty ' s aueient city of Norwich , deputed twoof her Majesty ' s loyal specials to put tua new agitator under immediate arreat and bring him forthwith before their loyal worships . No Eooner said tban done , tho guilty agitator was immediately led to the alau ^ hter like a lam b , to recoive the severo lash of . iho transgressed law , for the magistrates thought they had caught a wander' n agitator , who cither could or would not give an account of himself , but they soon discovered that they had only caught-a newly-adopted citizen . The Koene opened in the lullowim ; manner : —
Magistrate— What charge is there against this person ! Here one of the specials stepped forward and declared he had caused a great meeting in the market-place , and was speaking politics , and had caused the people to follow him . Mr . Clancy—How can you reconcile your assertion , that I had caused the meeting , with the fact tbat the meeting takea place every Sanday night , and had been addressed by the preacher before 1 came to it . Policeman—You caused the people to follow you , and the preacher to be interrupted . Mr . Clancy—Oh ! that is a different tale , and a circumstance which you know I could not have prevented . I did na more than what the preacher is permitted to do on every Sabbath evoning . Magistrate—But you were addressing them on political subjects .
Mr . Claucy—Aud I did bo because my faith led mo to bdievu that it was the best doctrine I could preach . Magistrate—Are you a native of this place ! Mr . Clancy—I am not , Sir . Magistrate—What is your name ! Mr . CJauoy—1 decline answering that question , till you inform me if you aro a magistrate in this Court . Magistrate—When you take off jour hat I will let you know . Mr . Clancy ( complying)—It is not my wish , Sir , to be outdone in courtesy .
Magistrate—I . am a magistrate . Now , will you toll me hpw long you have been in this town 1 Mr . Clancy—About a fortnight . Magistrate—What is your name i Mr . Clancy—I caunot seo , Sir , why you wish to know my name , sueing that I havo committed no erimo . Magistrate—Who sent you to preach here ! Mr . Clancy—I havo not beau sent to preach . I havo been invited here , and not for tho purpose of preaching ; it is my owu voluntary act . Magistrate—By whom have you been invited ? Pray , give me the address of tho party . Here Mv . Clancy put his hand iuto his pocket , and handed the magistrate a card , on which waa printed in large
letters" MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS !" Magistrate ( reading)—Oh ! mind jour owu business . A buzz of laughter ran through the Court . The magistrate evidently tooling this palpable hit , with much good humour put the card in hia wai 3 tcoat poiket . A spveial observed that this wag a very great uffroiit . Mr . Ciancy—I don ' t think , Sir , that it bocomes you to say no whsu the rnasjistrato hiuisolf is pleased io pocket thei alt ' roiu . ( L-o . u ^ hter . ) Magistrate—Have you a . y i ' rieiias here I
Mr . Claucy—I hope I need no frieuds , Sir , in a just causo , t > efore n . n honourable and an honest magistrate ; but allow me to ask , Sir , what docs all this aim uut to ? Magistrate- ^ - A desecration of the Sabbath . Mr . Clancys—A desecration of the Sabbath 1 What , Sir , is it a desecration of the Sabbath to preach a clocLriao to ameliorate tho condition of thousands of human bein ^ g , and remove poverty and wretched ness trout the i ' aco of tho land in whi < jb . we live . I ask you , a 3 an honourable aud au honest maiiHtrate , can you think so I I await your punishment , ii you do ; if you do not , I call upoii you , as a giuitlenia ' u , iu the spirit of justice , to dismiss the paltry ch&rgq .
Tho magistrate intimated that Mr . Clanoy might with'JiMW , if ha would consent to give hia name and address , which , he did , and withdrew , to the no pinall chagrin of the disappointed specials , one of whom made some impertinent obsurvatioii to Mr . Ciaucy on passing , but was instantly reproved by the worthy magistrate exclainiiug warmly , " Mind your ownbusiness , Sir !' We understand- iho Mayor has issued orders to suppress ail futuro Methodist meetinss in the Markpt Hliice . If . this bu true , -Vorily tha Methodists wiU soou understand what Chait ' wm means .
