The fuel passes from the , hod into tho ^ Btovo without being seen , preventing entirely any esoape of the noxious vapours , and that annoyance from dust which , in feeding other stoves , arises from the fuel being removed from the hod into the utove , or what is worse , into a funnel to oonv « y it into the stove . The ashes are removed without causing any dirt or dust ; no raking out with portable rakers , or the hands , being necessary i and during their removal from the interior of the stove they are not visible . The cost for fuel ( cinders , coke , or Welsh coal ) will be about 2 d . for twentyfour hours , during which time the stove will not require attention . The Vesta Stoves are perfectly free from all liability to explosions and such anpleasant consequences as have been met with in the use of Arnold .

The Work which is now presented to the pubQe is the result of very extended experience in a claai of diseases and affections , which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked , or treated with apathy , and almost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter into the detail of these affections , to point out their causes , and to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and physical , which are sure to follow 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 such person hold the relation of a PARENT , A PRECEPTOll , or a CLERGYMAN . — Sun , Evening paper .

A Committee of fifteen efficient individuals have been appointed to manage the affairs of the Society , and no exertion will be -ranting to make onr Society one of the most prosperous in the oouniry : in fact , we have already sounded ihe death-knell of Whiggery ; and notwithstanding the attempts lately made to cajole us into the raiiks of the enemy , we are as determined a 3 ever to stand by the Charter of our rights , and we call npon all really honest Radicals to come forward and join us " in the battle against tyranny , oppression , and misrule ; be assured that every measure will be taken to render th « operations uf the body as effective as possible .

Society . The meeting was numerously I attended , notwithstanding the inclemency of . the weather . Upon the motion of Mr . Ross , Mr . Cullen j was called to the chair , who opened tee business of i the meeang ; after which , the lecturer rose , and in j a clear , convincing manner , and in a strain of natu- 1 ral eloquence , grasped with a master minJ iheatten- i tion of his audience , while he handled the various j topics of his discourse in a way that must have told home a ) the most obtuse intellect . His description ^ of the miseries of the working classes was truly i heartrending . He conclnded bv reading a copy of rules , which , after a few words from Mr . M'F&rlane , ; wa 3 unanimously agreed to , and a Committee of ; fifteen directors appointed . A vote of thanks to the lecturer and Chairman was then given , wh « n the I meeting dispersed '; XiONX > ON . —At a meeting of the members of the National Charter Association of Great Britain , held i

He conforms to it as it impresses its conviction upon him , whether individually or nationally . The instincts of physical life , the wani . 3 of appetite , the development of intellect , the combinations of civilizidon , and the municipal mechanism of society , all demand
progress , and inevitably enact change , and whether such change be characterised by the display of riot , Tiolenc-e , and bloodshed , or is obtain-d by peace , ever depend * upon the amount of resistance and coercion of the Riissell school legislation . The past does not more surely indicate a period when errors now discarded were rife , than that the present , improved and corrected relatively to the past , will be as unceremoniously and certainly changed , reformed , and eventually improved . —Mr . Bairstow continued at great length , in an eloquent and impassioned Strain , which prodneed a most marked and powerful effect oa the audience , illustrating as he proceeded the trafn and beauty of the principles of the Charter , and dwelling upon its results upon tho social and political condition of the people . A Tote of thanks to the lecturer was carried by vociferous acclamation ; after which the Chairman briefly addressed the meeting , which then separated apparently © dified with the eTening ' 3 treat .
WORCESTER . —We are £ oing on well , steadily increaiia ^ here , and with a determination to go for nothing ie « s than the Charter .

It was unanimously agreed that wa henceforth send for insertion in the Star our" fortnightiy meetings . It ws 3 also proposed by onr respected treasurer , Mr . Williams , » nd carried unanimously , that a debating class be formed for tho purpose of encouraging Chartist talent , &c . Measures were imaiediately fcaken for the carrying out the resolution . A discaigion afterwards ensued respecting s , letter which appeared in the Worcester Chronicle of last week , purporting to be sent from the Council and signed Richard Wilson . A reply to a moss foul and unwarrantable attack ot the Worcester Herald had been
forwarded to the Editor of tne Ch-onic ' e , who promised to giTe it insertion ; aad the Council of the Chartists , knowing the two parties were as loggerbeads , thought of course it was all right ; but to their utter astonishment this reply was cut and mangled in such a horrid manner , ( althongh at the same time , thi 3 editor _ says he has an " inflate horror of injustice , ") that it scarcely could be recognised by us ; therefore it was deemed requisite an explanation should be giren in the Star of next week for the satisfaction of our Chartist friends , ( in the shape of aa addreu A-o , ) and our social friends , who hare been so kind as to lend ua their room to meet in , Lc . £ We have received the address , in which our Chartut friends do ample jastice to both their opponents .

BB 1 G 3 TOH . —I write ia haste , to inform you of a glorious tnumph of the working men of Brighton ovtr the treacherous middle classes . A town meeting was Leld on the lkh inst ., in the Town Hall , the High Constable in the chair . The meeting was called for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature against tho introduction of a clause in tne New Poor Law Bill , now before the Honse , which would ^ ive p . 'wer to the Commissioners of Somerset House to take supcrsednre over all places having local acts . Brighton being among the number , a meeting was thought fit to be held , to petition agsdust the claiises gi"ii ' . g ihe Commissioners the power to intenere . The iirst resolution was proposed , seconded , aad earned , without one dissentient ,
being cf a mer local cha r acter ; but , on the appearance of Mr . Woodward to propose a resolution , an attempt was made by the ijctions to put him down , bu : he was made of too stern stuff . A gallant Whig ( Major Ailen ) urged that he had risen first , but the meeting wis in no disposition to be humbujj . sad ; Woodward they would have , and the old soldier s- > undcd i ' .. e reireat . One victory attained , another wa 3 certain . Mr . Woodward lashed the vsiTibonds in black pretty tidiJy ; Mr . Allen followed in'ihe same route , that niadetne fellows wish themfelves at uozie m their drawing-rooms , at the wine table . Mr . Reeve^—the mach-persecuted William Reeve—pupported the resolution ; it was so worded , that neither Wnig nor Tory could carp at it ; it was
put 10 the me-. ting ( though not very willingly by the Chairman ) and carried amidst tremendous applause . Thus ended a second victory ; but another war to be gamed ere the business for which the Chartists had met could be concluded , and that was , the adoption of the petiuon fonnd&d on the resolution ; aad right merrily and nobly did the working men support their irieads on the platform . Myjor Alien moved the adoption of a petition against ihe bill bting so worded as would give ; he Commissioners power to supersede local acts : it was peonded by J . N . Wigney , Esq . Mr . Reeve was on his lc-&s ia a tTriakiiag , with an addenda to the petition , "declaratory of the abhorreaco of the
Foot Law , and all other laws that pres 3 on the industry of the people ; and that no redress of grievances would be granted till the people had the right of electing their ovrn representatives , and making them responsible to the nation . " This was a stinger ior them . It was seconded by Mr . Allen , supported by Messrs . Woodward and Colling ; ana for uearly two hours the scene wis indescribable . The middle men , the aristocracy , and the impartial Chairman , could not allow suca a thing to take piace as tending a petition from such an . iristo cr atic town as Brighton for "Universal Suffrage ; but so it happened , in spi . e of all their trickery and sophisticated humbug . Tne Chairman said he could not allow Mr . Reevs's resolution to be
embodied ia their petition , asd aid not think he could rective it . But he nad dona it , and was made to stand by it ; and was on the po : nt of putting it to the meeting , when he was completely flabergasted , by Mr . Woodward rising to propose another amendment , in the shape of a ichole amended petition . Mr . Colling seconded it . Mr . Reeve witharew his resolution , and supported the amended petition iu a speech of some length , concluding amidst loud cheers . A question then rose as to how the sense of the meeting should be taken . " Divide ! divide !" echoed from all quarters ; the Chairman then appointed tellers . Oa the par-, of Mr . Woodward ' s petition , Mr . Reeve was appointed , and on the part of Major Alien's petition , Mr . Bowdidge was appointed . He ti : ea ordered rhe room to be halved ; a line of forms were then placed across the Hall , and the meeting divided ; the sceno was animating . The half that contained the working men waa scarcely
large enough to contain them , while the half that contained the aristocrats aud their time-serving slaves , the tradesmen of Brighton , waa not halt occapied . The about that followed was loud and long—it echoed again and again throughout the lofty and noble building . The Cnartist petition was carried , when the Chairman rose and declared the meeting dissolved I but , not so with the Chartists . Mr . Alien proposed , and Mr . Page seconded , that Mr . Woodward take the chair . Mr . Allen then proposed that the petition , as submitted by Mr . Woodward , be adopted . Mr . Coiling seconded it ; and a ^ aifl tras it put , and triumphantly carried . Three cheers were given for the Charter ; three for Fear-EUi , the "lioa , " aud all imprisoned victims ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; three groans—most awful—for the " base , bloody , and brutal Whigs . " A vote of thanks was presented to Mr . Woodward , and the meeting dissolved , singing the first verse and chorus of the Marseilles Hymn . —Correspond&it .
HAWXCE .. —The Rev . Mr . Gray , and D . M . M Giil Cnchton , Esq ., delivered two lectures on lay patronage , in the Subscription Rooms here , on Wednesday evening , the 10 th inst . The meeting , which was pretty numerous , paid the greatest attention to the speakers , and testified , by their applause , their concorrence with many of the sentiments and opinions expressed by them , especially by M'Gill Cnchton , who ( so far as the Church was concerned ) delivered an excellent Chartiat lecture . After the close of his address , Mr . Crichton read a petition to both Houses of Parliament , for the total abolition of patronage , which he wished the meeting to adopt ^ nd sign . Mr . John Rutherford , salesman , opposed the petition , on the ground that it did not no far
enough , and » cved an amendment , praying for a separation of Ohurch and State . Mr . Pickard Harris had no objections to Mr . Rutherford ' s amendment , but proposed another , to the effect , that this meeting considers no effectual remedy for the evils of patronage will ever be produced until Universal Suffrage becomes the law of the land . Mr . Crichton then took the sense of the meeting on both amendments conjointly , when a forest of hands were held up for them . On a show of hands being taken for the petition , only seven bands were held up for it . The only vexatious thing was , that Mr . Rutherford
could not conscientiously vote for his own amendment . What a pity ! It iB satisfactory to state , that the whole proceedings were conducted in a peaceable and orderly manner , and that not a single disrespectful expression escaped the lips of any who took parr in the business . Give but the public fair play , as Mr . Crichton did , and we will never hear a word of disorderly meetings . It is but justice to Mr . Crichton to say , that he distinctly denied being to blame for Julian Harney ' s arrest ; on the contrary , he used his influence to prevent it . He attributed Hartley ' s seizure to the over-zeal of the worthy "Balky" to do his duty , or rather more than hia duty .

On Saturday night , no less than WO cases were relieved , and upwards of 100 applicants were njected . The distress in many families is really appalling , and such as to excite the warmest
sympathy of tbe visitors , who inquire into every case before relief is afforded . A man and bis wife are allowed weekly one loaf , fourteen pounds ef potatoes , and half a hundred weight of coals ; and the same quantity is given , with the exception of the coals , to every two children .

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 thoir system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions to broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to uegleot 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 injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a morelocal affection will be converted iuto an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should bo suatched from all the prospects and enjoymotns of lifo by the consequonces of one unguarded raor aont , and by adisease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated .
It is a melancholy faot that thousands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , rum the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , 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 period to their dreadful sufferings .

OLD PARR'S SECRET OF X . ON& UFE DISCOVERED . A MOST singular document has recently been brought to light , and is now in the possession of the Rev . Wm . Arther , of East Peckham : it appears to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , who attained the almost incredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left this document to a relation : it is written on parchment , and although , upwards of two hundred years old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following is an extract : — "These do certifie 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 ia my youth I was afflicted with ye Bloody Flux aud King ' s Evil , but which all left me by using gome 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 this day , and in ye 147 th year of my a * ' " Thomas Parr . " "Winnington , Salop , Januarie 17 th , 1630 . " ThiB 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 series of long and painful illness , but that by Borne secret means he cured himself , and was stronger thau most men when he 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 ha used to thresh corn , and do any laborious work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens of England .
Tha Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by the assistance of a very ablo chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Parr's to be made into Pills , and although only a spaco of eighteen months have elapsed since tho trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have boon effected ; more than one-half were considered incurable ; and what is more remarkable , cases which possess the very opposites asregards outward symptoms : the balsamic and invigorating effects on tho blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds for
years have been bo Bpoedily re-xnvigorated with an infusion of new 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 the greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous age > The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , muscles , and oven solid bone ; this being the case , the grand object is to keep this precious fluid ( the blood ) 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 uae of Parr's Lifk Pills , thus showing that what has been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the same cause , and can be cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conqueriug disease , they are as pure and harmless as new milk , aud 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 miW in its operation and effects , and yet SO effectual in soarching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject .
Those who have heea the instruments of restoring 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 aud happiness . " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise , And future Parrs be blest with honour'd days . " The following letter will shew the high estimation these invaluable medicines axe held in the city of Lincoln : — " To the Rev . W . Arther , and Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills .
" Rev . Sir , and Gentlemen , —I beg to . inform you , several persons have acknowledged to me they never experienced eo much improvement in their health , since they took Old Parr s Pills ; in particular , a lady , who Baid she never knew what it was to be without pain in her head ; but , after taking one box * she has been free from it ever since . " You must , I am sure , from the great demand for the pills at my shop , think they are considered here of great value , and j 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 100 years to come . " I am , your obedieit servant , M James Dacsy . " 224 , near the Stone Bow . Lincoln . "September 28 , 184 » . "
Similar letters are daily received from all parts of the Empire , stating the happy effects of Old Parr's Remedy . Mr . Noble , Bookseller , of Hull , in a letter of Jan-15 , 1841 , says , " The character of the pills stands very high ; I am continually hearing of their good effects , * ' &c . &c . This Medicine is sold , by appointment , by Edwards , St . Paul ' s Church Yard , London , in Boxes , at Is . Hd ., 2 s . 9 d ., and Family Boxes , 11 s . each ; the Boxes at 2 s . 9 d . contain equal to three email , and those at lls . equal to five at 2 s , M . ; and by all respectable Medicine Vendors .
