      the bloed . produced by these mediciaee is perfectly miraetifous ; many who have keft their beds for years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusioaof new blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow 4 > eing 8 , who had long given them up as incurable , ik looked upon as the greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous a ^ e . The whole of our system ia built up from the blood—nerves , 8 inews , muBcles , and even solid bone ; this being the case , the grand object is to keep this precious fluid ( the Mood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself ia some way or other .

      Cases of every description have all been cured simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , thus showing rfiat what has been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the « ame cause , and can be cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they are as pure and harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill health , who wiil 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 yot so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long Btanding , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research aad a thorough knowledge of his subject .

      Those who have beea the instruments of reptoring this long-lost secret to the world , feel confident , when they make the assertion—that none need despair , that if only a fair trial be given , the result will be a restoration to health and happiness . " ThuB shall their humblo labours merit praise , And future Parrs be blest with honour'd days . " The following letter will shew the high estimation these invaluable medicines aro hold iu the city of Lincoln : — " To the Rev . W . Arther , and Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills . " Rtr . Sir , and Gentlkhen , —I beg to inform you , several persons have acknowledged to m « they never experienced so much improvement in their health , since they took Old Parr ' s Pills ; in particular , a lady , who said she never knew what it was to be without pain in her head ; , after taking one box . ? he his been free from it ever since .

      " You must , I am sure , from tho great demand for the pills at my shop , think they are considered here of great value , and 1 have no doubt many more will be sold when they are generally known ; in fact , some folk begin now to think they will have no occasion to make their wills for the next 90 or 101 years to come .

      WAKEFIELD HELL . TO THE EDITOR OP THE HO&THE&M STAB . Sis , —In my last , I promised to state why the prisoners did not avail themselves of the " Visiting Magistrates' " hamane care , to get rid of the abominable cruelties inflicted upon them . In one sense , the vi « te of those gentlemen were angelic , —they were " few and tax between ; " but , in every ether respect , tfc ^ y

      only contributed to the poor victim ' s sufferings , by inudting him with the bitter Mockery of an inspecting visit . I never , during the whole time of my imprisonment , saw one of those visitors in au official capacity , or I should have tried to obtain some redress of the complaints which I had to make ; but , should a prisoner prefer any complaint either against any of the officers or the system , he would probably have bitter reason to rue it . An Eastern Bashaw cannot exercise power in a more despotic manner , or inflict punishment with more summary malice than those " Hell Kings . " It ia said " A cat may look at a King , " but a man m 3 y not look at one of those flies " that fatten on the corruption" of the system , without incurring the loss of one of hia few and scanty meals , and probably getting the black bole or the solitary cell for three days , with

      half a pouh < I ef bread and water for his daily fare . The visiting and inspecting is , in fact , a disgusting and provoking farce . The " peeping Toms" have only to report that No . 1 turned his head round , No . 2 looked down , No . 3 looked up proudly , No . 4 exchanged glances with No . 5 , and No . 6 shut hta eyes , when , without enquiry , or further evidence , sentence takes effect upon all , —at the least it will be the stoppage of their rations for one meal ; and how severe that is , none can tell but those who have felt the constant gnawings of hunger attendant upon the starving system . The Visiting Magistrates visit the Governor , not the prisoners , and it is just as likely that the ancient " J » ck Sheppard" should have informed the authorities of his last adventure , as that the Governor of Wakefield House of Correction should report himself

      guilty of tyranny . The keeper , at times , reads what he calls the "Prison Rules , " which make a vast . deal to do about cleanlineps ; such as bathing and washing every part of the body once a week , washing every morning , and combing tbeir hair , airing their beds and bed clothes , &c . ; the keeping of scales and weights in order , that the prisoners may see their bread weighed tf they chance to doubt it , fcc . Now , I do affirm , that the whole of these rules are a gross deception upon the public and those who visit the prison , as not a single one of them is complied with . First , then , as t « washing and bathing once a week , I never had an opportuuity of bathing or washing , except fouf" times , whilst in the prison , ami then it was such indecent and pig-liko work , that I refused to go the two last times . The whole of those pig-washings took place in the

      months of July and August , and were performed in the following manner .- —Twenty or twenty-four men were called out , and marched one deep , about six yards apart , to the bathing room ; they were then thrust iato a small stone-floored room adjoining , and ordered to strip as quick as possible , two officers watching them the whole time ; they then r ; in to the bath-room and plunged in , and were immediately ordered out to get their clothes on ; drying themselves was out of the question , as , although towels were piacsd in the room , these were like so many dirty 6 oor cloths , only four or five being allowed to dry 100 or ISO men . The whole undressing , washing , and dressing , thuj are obliged to perform in ten minutes . Next , as to washing every morning and conbing their hair , the prisoners proceed from their cells in the same order , about six yards

      apart , into the wash yard , both sides of which are formed into a sort of stalls , with a water tub placed in each . This prevents the prisoners from communicating with each other ; they are not allowed five minutes to strip and wash . Before they get their clothes on , a fellow , with a box-foil of bits of iron , with teeth in , called combs , is bawling out and bullying them to be sharp . They are obliged to use this apology as they walk towards another officer , who holds an empty box to receive them , the prisomers not being able to drag it above three times through their hair . So much for washing and combing . Next , as to airing their beds and bed clothes ; I wonder that the keeper can read

      this part without laughing , as the prisoners have no chance of airing their beds , at least I had not , the air and light being admitted to my cell through a small hole , about seven inches square , placed about nine feet high ; and although the bed clothes might be crawling with vermin , as they generally are , they have no means of cleaning them ; for , at one time , when I complained to the turnkey , that he had been placing a filthy bed in uiy cell , he abused me and said it was good enough for me . 1 shall reserve the exposition of the remaining part of the " Rules" till next week . I am , yours , &c . George White .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Mr . Editor , —I have long seen the necessity of the working classes wiping from their characters the name of " drunken mob , " and Buch like names ; but at this period , I think , there are many reasons why they should become sober , and thereby thinking men . Can those men be called rational , whe can waste so much of their hard earnings at the public-house , and by such means impoverish themselves , and strengthen the resources of their enemies ? Can theybe called rational , whtn they

      will make their homes , their wives , and families miserable , and themselves detested , merely because they will enjoy ( as they say ) their pint and pipe ? Would not thu money spent for Intoxicating drinks be better applied in clothing themselves , their wives , and fainik'S , and assisting those of their incarcerated brethren ? For my own part , I am sure that it would ; and , with this impression , I beg to have my name appended to the Chartist Total Abstinence Pledge . I remain , yours , &c , Jons Page .

      CHARTISM AND TEETOTALISM . " A land of slaves shall ne ' er be mine—Dash down that cup of Samian wine 1 " Byrok . TO ROBERT FORTH , OF WHITBY . Good Robert , —I have long been a warm admirer of your character and conduct . 1 think you set an example in private and public , worthy of general imitation . You have been a humble and bard "working man , all your life ; and though you have now fallen into " the sear and yellow leaf , " you still toil , as in your greener days . You follow an honest and healthful employment , and are content to keep yourself back , that you may put your children forward . You have remained in a humble sphere , that you might eet them up a degree above you in social rank .

      Your conduct , as a citizen , is not less worthy of commendation , tbun asa man , a parent , und a Christian . You are the father of teetotalism in Whitby ; and , as auch , have done more good to men ' s minds , bodies , and estates , than all the paid parsons , or other persons iu the town . Tiewed in this light alone , I consider you inure respectable than any of your fellow-townsmen—I am sure 1 respect you more . Whenever I see you , I am reminded of " Douce Davie Deans , " who , like you , was a milkman ; or , of one of the old Cameronians , who took the hill side , with a Bible in one hand , and a sword iu the other . You possess similar sturdy principles , and indomitable resolution ; but , thank God you have no occasion to uao any other weapon than a tongue of truth .

      I quite agree with you , that teetotalism is a moral and religious duty . It is not a matter of indifference , like the letting alone of some meats and drinks ; but is absolutely incuiribent upon us . You may eat an egg , or not , and what matter ? but the love of strong drink is an " ungodly lust , " which we ought to deny ourselves , that we may " walk soberly . " And this , not merely for our own sakes ; but for the sake of others . We are not only to do well ; but to set an example of well-doing . To do right prhatfcly , is to " hide our candle under a bushel ; " to do wrong publiciy , is to make ourselves a " stumbling-block of offenqe . " It is , therefore , proper that teetotallers in private should join teetotallers in public , and thus recommend to others that which they have found good for themselves .

      Another reason why sober men should exhibit their sobri e ty is : —Man is weak when left to his secret self ; he cannot trust to himself alone ; he needs other support than his own ; and , by joining a public society , ha bt cymes strong in its united strength . The dread of public shame will theu fortify his private resolution . But bo frail is our virtue , so much ought we to " take heed how wo stand , lest nto fall , " that , unless we pray for help from above , we shall hardly keep ourselves , even then , from unconsciously sliding back . Much has been said respecting the moderate use of drink , and whether it be scriptural to abstain totally . If the moderate use leads to the abuse , Vueu the moderate use is , itself , an abuse .. Suppose that the moderate man can stop in moderation , —bis weaker brother cannot : the moderate man thus becomes a snare to the immoderate , —he causoth his weaker , brother to err . But , it will be asked , are we to dcuy

      ourselves a use for the sake of those who make it a * abuse ? Is not this the good punishing themselves for the bad ? It may be answered , that , by denying ourselves in such a cause , we « njoy the greater luxury of doing good . It is necessary to remove this superfluity far froui us ; btcauBe it is a temptation to do evil . " The best way to' keep out ef temptation is , never to come into it" No wise mail ¦ will voluntarily tempt himself . The worid , the . flesh , and the devil , are continually tempting us , and , to yield to their temptation , is to tempt Heaven . Many men have risked their lives , to save the lives of others , and shall we not deny ourselves a baneful luxury , for the sake of souls ? St . Paul was willing to become anathema for his fellow-men ; and no minister of God | H worthy the name of a Christian , or even of a man , if he does not abstain from that which profiteth not , abstain for the sake of proflt to alL Teetdtalisni is a test of pious sincerity .

      The Devil , it is said , can quote Scripture to suit his purpose , and there aro not wanting drunkards , as much besotted with vice as with drink , ' who scruple not to institute the txample of Christ himself , to justify their sins . They say , with his Jew detractors , ' The eon of man came eating and diinking—behold a wine-bibber !" Why , those very Jews condemned strong drink under the authority of Moses , and will Christians say , that Christ came not to fulfil , or to establish that law , but to break it , and to abrogate it ? Supposing that Christ did use wine , law and custom then prevented the abuse of it ; now they sanction , they encourage its abase , and , in this altered stato of things , Jesus Christ , were be to re-appear on earth , would become a teetotaller . 3 To doubt thfc , is to deujr the spirit of Christianity .

      ;¦ ' ¦¦ - ¦*¦¦ ' ' ' ' •' Some say that this " creature - is a blessing , and that God wills us to enjoy it along with the good things of the earth . If its mere existence be taken as an evidence of its intended use , the same excuse would serve for the use of gunpowder , or any deleterious drug . But who will dare to affirm that strong . drink , or gunpowder , came from God ? Their simple elements exist in nature , and * re harmless ; but roan , by art and invention , has compounded and refined them into deadly plagues . That art was prompted by the devilit is a black art—a spirit of evil , not of good .

      We give up nothing essential to the welfare of mind and body when we give up drink ; but something detrimental to both—we cannot call it a sacrifice , or a self-denial . The benefits of abstinence are not merely of ft negative , but of a positive kind . In the first place , we cease to do that evil , and than we can learn to do well . "Cease drinking and begin thinking . " Omission of what is wrong is a kind of commission of what is right We must not merely ward eff evil—we must also do good . Drink is a positive evil , and negatives all good . It destroys health , temper , business , —consequently , it brings on pain , wretchedness , want ; and these again bring all kinds of multiplying sins and miseries . If an enemy were to inflict on us one half the evils which drink causes , the law would severely punish him ; but we punish ourselves . Alas ! not ourselves alone , but all those who unfortunately aro dependent upon us ,

      connected with us , or have any relation to us . So destructive to the best interests of mankind , and to roan himself , is this good-for-nothing drink , —so much of the suffering and horror in the world is occasioned by it , that its makers ought to be punished as capital -offenders . But the state licenses the sale of it—the church recommends full measure—public-houses , with the effigies of the Queen , or the Duke , or other royal and noble patrons , swinging upon gibbets outside , are open almost to promote brutishness and fiendishness ; because the revenue is increased by the sale of the maddening and murdering stuff ! No" wonder that our Government is wroth at the Emperor" of China for destroying an intoxicating drug : no wonder that her Majesty's Ministers have sent down a fleet to punish him for setting such an example . The sale of poison was " present death in Mantua "—why is it not so in England ?

      Let us be just : the publicans are not the only sinners . Is not laudanum more pernicious than ale , and tobacco scarcely less ? The drinkers of strong drink are their own enemies ; the sellers of it nre enemies to them : the manufacturers are more culpable than the sellers ; and Government , that profits by what it ought to prevent , ia the most culpable of all . Government acts the part of Circe to the nation : it hands a cup of abominations to imbrute men , that it may keep them slaves . Now , Robert , you will perceive , that I am a staunch advocate of teetotalism ; but I do not stop there ; nor will you when you look beyond . As the evils of drunkenness extend beyond the drink itself , ite remedy requires something more than teetotalism . To abstain

      from drink is very well ; but this alone will not procure us what we want That part of a man ' s earnings which was worse than wasted in drink will be more prudently and profitably spent—will be spent in averting those evils which before it was spent to incur . But what are we to nay to those who have no earnings to spend , for this plain reason , that they have no employment—no means of making money ? There are thousands thus lamentably situated . These men must abstain because they cannot obtain ; and must abstain , not fronVdrink only , but from meat also . They must fast from bothfrom all , and go naked into the bargain . It is but cold comfort to such to say , " here is a cup of water for

      you ! " Supposing that Moses , after leading the Children of Israel through the Wilderness , had told them that they were to drink of the River Jordan , and to be content with that , would they not have looked very blank , and have asked him where was the milk and honey that he had promised them ? where was the-land of Canaan ? It is there—just across ! Then we will not stay at Jordan ' s brink , but pass throug h , and take possession of it Teetotallers will he told by those who are really wishful for their welfare , that they must strive for their rights—for the Charter . What Christian , being baptised , will be content "with -water alone , and not " press forward for the prizi of his high calling" ?

      Therefore , friend Robert , I earnestly entreat you to take the lead of the teetotallers in Whitby , as of tight you ought to do , and adopt the title of " The' Chartist Tettotal Society . " Be not ridden by priests , though they have joined you . You know very well-that they are not honest—that they did cot corne forward at first , nor of their own accord—that they were dragged in by their congregations whom they ought to have led ; and if they now lead , it is not so much for the sake of the flock , as for their own sakea . All consistent teetotallers must be Chartists , for it is bad Government that causes drunkenness—Government , that is-bbth the patron and partaker of it Drunkenness moro often results from misfortune than from sin . It is a common

      observation , that bankrupts frequently turn drunkards . We must reform the cause , if we expect the-effects to cease . Jeroboam was not only a sinner himself , but he made Israel to sin ; and our Government , being a fraudulent usurpation , absolutely forces the land to lie in wickedness . In many eases , it prevents the chance of obtaining an honest livelihood ; a man must either be a rogue or starve . The poor are baffled , beat , and rendered desperate . Teetotalism will cripple this wrongful Government ; but it must be joined with Chartism to destroy it Robert , if you would really be as useful as you are respectable , you will become a Chartist teetotaller . Hoist the banner of Universal Suffrage , and I will promise you many recruits .

      Before I conclude , you will permit me to offer a few observations on the manner of making a convert to a good cause . It lately happened in your Society , that an invitation was sent to your fellow-townsman . Dr . Young , to take the chair upon a festival occasion . The Doctor avowed himself to be a temperance man , but not a teetotaller : nevertheless , as he was not objected to on this account , he did not object to the invitation . Several persons were present , who , though not . teetotallers , had contributed towards the erection of the Temperance Hall . Having got the respected . Doctor into the chair , an attempt was made to coerce'him to become a teetotaller . He naturally resented this , and , so far from complying , he offered to leave the-chair , and haa since declared that he will never attend another meeting . Now I think that , under the circumstances , Dr . Young did right in giving the required

      pledge ; but wrong in not coming forward voluntarily to do so . As a Christian minister , it is more his rfuty than that of other men . But it must be done willingly , or it is better left undone . St . Paul himself wished every one to be fully persuaded in his own mind , and not to be constrained . When wo seek to make a convert to teetotalism , we are seeking the person ' s good , and we must do it in a kindly and forbearing manner . If it be done harshly , -we shall rouse the party's fears or his dislike , and , in either case , we shall unfit him to become a true convert . He will fancy that we intend to do him harm , and not good . We must first convince , then persoade ; and if , after all , we fail of success , we must pity the person , but not be provoked at him , nor by him . The proper course would have been to have invited Dr . Young to a discussion . Wine is strong , but truth is stronger , and would have prevailed .

      I am , ' - Dear Robert , Yours , with sincere respect and regard , John Watkins Aislaby , January Cth , 1841 .

      ANALYSIS OF THE HAND-LOOM WEAVERS' REPORT .

      LETTER IX . Foreign competition is too important a subject to be passed over lightly , and I shall , therefore , devote another letter to an exposition of its effect upon the labour market of England . It is like a two-edged sword , cutting down our trade abroad and at home ; whilst , on the one hand , we find the cotton manufacturers crying out for the abolition of all protecting duties , and all restrictions on commerce ; we find , on the other hand , tb . e silk manufacturers aTe complaining that Jiheir trade has been ruined by the admission of French silks into the English markets , which are sold so Jow , that the home market ot the Spjtalflelds , Coventry , Norwich , and Macclesfleld weavers , is virtnally destroyed , without any hope , save that of cheapening our Government , and an extensive reduction of our general system of taxation , not Corn Laws alone , but all laws that press most heavily upon the industry of the people .

      The introduction of French silks , or foreign competition , has been one of the principal causes of the great reductions of the wages of our silk weavers—the employers almost invariably assigning that as the" reason for every reduction they make in their weavers' wages Fotinstance , when the duty of 30 per cent upon plain French goods was reduced to 25 , the manufacturers lowered the men's prices 15 ptr cent , taking ap unfair advantage of 10 per cent moro than the amount per « ent of reductions . " Give them an inch , and they take an ell , " says the old proverb . The slightest pretext is seiaed by unprincipled manufacturers to lower their workmen's wages . " To compete -with France would require very extraordinary changes in our system of trade and government , for the French grow lha beat

      Bilk , have the pick of it , and have laws to prevent the export of this choice silk , besides long standing skill and the management of schoels for arts and design . " * To these may be added , the capricious taste and desires of our own ladles to purchase French designs and manufactured goods in preference to those of ourown manufacture , from the empty pride and the false idea that foreign goods are more respectable and better than the " outlandish designs and vulgar looking silks manufactured by the ragged and worthless rabble of Spitalflelds , Coventry , Norwich , and Macclesfield . " The average expence of & Lyonnese weaver ( silk ) for food is about thirty sous ( 1 * . 3 . 1 . ) per day ; with thi ? he pays for breakfast , dinner , and supper , and a . pint of wine .. About 8 a . 9 d . per week .

      The compagnon the weaver ) who lodges and boards with the master weaver , consumes lilbs . of bread , 30 c ; quarter of a litre ( half a pint ) of wine , 12 £ c ; dinner , 25 c ; cheese , 10 a ; supper , 10 c . —say from 80 to 90 cents ( 8 d . or iid . ) per day ; from 4 s . 8 d . to 5 s . 3 d . pei week .

This aysfco out of a dread of foreign competition , h / ougbt jfc the facilities afforded td foreigners , to impomj and newest machinery from England ; by the & which the paper money system affords to o ^ al speculators ; by the blind policy of our merely manufacturers in extending the principles of fta to all parts of the world , before they were w >

      at home to work out those principles ; by the less misgovernment of this country , by the ptew former administrations , who have made the iu serve all the purposes of the rich , and inaii protection from the poor , thereby driving thalai seek foreign lands in hopes of improving theircmd by the damnable Malthusian doctrine of " snrp ! u lation , " and " emigration , " that drains the com our pauperised labourers and artizans ; by orann system of taxation , which necessitates us to at tarifF upon all imports of foreign produce , in or raise the required amount of customers to rapp extravagance of " the powers -that be ; " these , thousand other causes , might bo produced toihet whence arises this foreign competition .
