She was for eight days in the workhouse at Kensington , under medical treatment , where her sex was undiscovered . Mr . BurreU said he should call upon the defendant to find sureties for her good behaviour for the next month ; and , as the commitment would bfe made out immediately , the turnkey who had brought her to the office had better at once return with her to the prison .

GLASGOW . —Gbxxi A > w-Slavehy Meetjxg . —A great public meeting of the inhabitants of Glasgow , called by public placard , was held in the Rev . Mr . Nisbet ' s Church . North Albion-street , when a wealthy Whig of the name of Mr . Kair , ( whose father was an out-and-out Radical of former days , and suffered incarceration in Greenock jail for advocating the principles now couv * ia « d in the People ' s Charter . ) was called to the chair . The Church was an overflowing bumper with ladies and gentlemen , for we could see but few of Mr . O'Connor's unshaven
chias ,. blistered hands , and fustian jackets . Mr . Colline , delegate from the old Abolitionist Society of America , stepped on the platform amidst tumultuous cheering , and in a speech of two hours length Tepudiated , in a clear and forcible manner , the calunmies under which he was suffering , referring to various documents , proving the injustice yrhiah had been done to him , and dwelling w . th particular force upon the ungallant and sectarian exclusion of the lady delegates , by the London Emancipation Convention , from the society which he represented . Mr . Collins , who is . a young man of great talents , possessing strong democratic principles , which were manifested in his well-arranged speech , said that the great water which divided him from his dear native land was but a mind ' s span , which divided the bodies
though not the souls of Britons and Americans in the glorious cause of human liberty . Our principles were whether woman , child , or man is to break the bonds and let the captive free ; that no real Yankee ever was opposed to the divine right of Universal Suffrage . The leading Chartists who attended were quite astounded at the tremendous bursts of approbation which followed these sentiments , thinking , from ths appearance of the meeting , that they had got into a box fuii of well-dressed middle classmen . —The Rav . Dr . King appeared , amid shouts and hisses , as the defender of the Glasgow Anti-Slavery Association Committee . The Doctor complained of being kept out of bed to snch an hour , and then proceeded to . show that Mr . Collins had to a certain extent misrepresented the Glasgow Emancipation Committee . He defended the London Committee in
refusicg the female delegates from America , a 3 they , said he , had no right to interfere in the affairs of men . A woman , said he , may kindle and extinguish fire , but who ever thought of making a woman a fireman J u Tae Queen , " said a voice from the left of the speaker , is master-general of British firemen . " ( Great laughter and cheering . ) The Doctor then proceeded to show the pitiful position of the black slavea , when a voice rung throngh tbe church , " And what is the situation of the white slaves of Britain and Ireland , Doctor V His R ^ verendship , however , did not seem to notice this interruption to hi 3 Camtronian appeal to the feeliDgs , when another voice , who seemed to watch tbe queer modulations of ihe Doctor ' s Toice , sung out , in a drawling tone ,
" Scotland free or a desert . " ( Tremendous cheering . ) The speaker , after this stormy appearance on behalf of the meeting , shrunk into passive submission , declaring that he had little more to say , and in a drawling tone was in the act of pitifying the poor black slave , when a stentorian voice roared out , ¦ '" Look at the white slaves ; another individual , imitating the same drawling tone , set the whole aeeticg into a roar , during which the Rev . speaker made himself scarce , Mr . Collins replied , making out the Doctor anything but a speaker of truth . — The Rev . Patrick Brewster , of Paisley , made a few observations on the subject , amidst cries of " Question , question . " At this sta ^ e of the proceedings , the Chartists were geitiag fidgety , it being near
eleven o ' clock ; groups of heads were seen in deep consultation in every part of the church , the result of which made its appearance by Mr . Jack , late secretary of the Lanarkshire Universal Suffrage Association , finding his way to tbe platform , and proposing , as a rider to a motion previously proposed , " That Mr . George Thomson , Anti-Slavery Advocate , should be invited to attend . " Mr . Jack ' s amendment was , That we have no confidence in Thomson , he having on a previous occasion pledged his honour that he would meet the working classes of Glasgow , and having violated that r public pledge , he was no longer worthy of confidence . " Mr . Malcolm seconded tbe amendment ; when Mr . Moir made his way to the platform amid the most tremendous cheering , which continued " until roof and rafters a' did dirrel . " The Chartists now discovered their real position , that nine-tenths of the meeting were Chartists , who , in many instances , had pinched
the belly tocoTerihe back , and that they had dressed themselves up , thinkiDg that their greasy trousers and fuiiian jacket 3 would preveut their admission to the meeting , a 3 was tbe case on some former occasions . Mr . Moir , iu his satirical style , cut ri *; ht and ltfr , sparing neither age uor sex , country or clime , if they were Whi ^ s . He was loilovred by the Rev . Mr . Harvie , Mr . Watt ( Social Missionary ) , Mr . Brewster , and Mr . Collins ; when , according to the suggestions of a few friends of concord , it wa 3 propofr&daad agreed to , that , they should throw a ^ ide ertry difference and unite in paying a tribute of respect to Mr . Collins . A resohnioa was therefore ^ inanimpusiy carried , " Tnat Mr . Collins had received unfair and nujust ueage at the hands of those perssns forming the Glasgow Emancipation Committee . " Cheers were then given for the Charter , Fear ^ us O'Connor , and the imprisoned Chartists , when the meeting broke up , a lew minutes before uue o ' clock in the mormng .

Our correspondent writes that it was expected ihe nomination woa 2 d take pJace on Saturday , and the poll ( if one ) on Monday : or the nomination on Monday , and the poll on Wednesday . The Evidence against Mistehs . —A correspon dent of the Morning Herald calls in question the soundness of that portion of the evidence against Misters , which says that tbe sediment in the slops contained in the vessel in the room where Misters slept , would not have betn so copious on the addition of muriate of byrates , had it not contained tbe acid which constitutes a portion of alum . It will be recollecied this point was brought forward to establish the fact that Misters had used alum to wash out any blood that might have stained his linen , &c , and then emptied the liquid into the chamber utensil .

" XiO 2 R > ON . —At a meetinq of Chartists , at which were present the members of the General Council resident in Lambeth , Bermondsey , Walworth , and Wandswortb , in the county of 1 ^ i ! " oWen . ** Wandsworth , on Sunday evening last , the following resolutions were agreed to : — Kesolved unanimously , " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the attempt made by Messrs . Ueave , Lovott , Collins , Vincent , and Co ., to . form a new organisation , instead of assisting in carrying
ous me one already in existence , is a mean , base , and traitorouB attempt to divide th « energies of the people , and paralyse their eff » rtB in causing the Charter to become the law of the land . We , therefore , embrace the present opportunity of pub-Jicly denoancin / j the eame , that our unsuspecting brethren may not be deluded thereby . " —Resolved unanimously , " That the thankB of thiB meeting be given to the Editor of the Northern Star , for his able exposure of the foul and secret movement of the enemies of the working millions . "
WA 1 WORTH AND CAMBBRWEtt . —At the usual weekly meeting , on Monday evening last , it was unaaimouBly resolved— " That wo regret that such men as Lovett , Collins , Cleave , and Hetheripgton , instead of joining with , and assisting in making the present National Association as effective as possible , should secretly attempt to establish another , the effect of which they must know would be to divide the Chartist body , and consequently retard the attainment of the object they profess to have so much at heart . We , therefore , determine to discountenance all such attempts , from whatever quarter they may come , and to continue our present agitation until we obtain our just and righteous demands . ' '
BB . OSlSaB , OV £ . -0 n the 13 th of April , it was unanimously agreed that Mr . Pitkethly of Hudderbfield , be considered as Delegate for this town to sit in tho Petition Convention in London . At a public meeting held on tbe same day , the following resolutions were adopted : — " That we the Chartists of Bromsgrove view with contempt and indigna tion , the circular sent forth by Collins , O'Neil , and clique , believing it a base attempt to-crush O'Connor and the Star . We further pledge ourselves to adhere to the Manchester plan of organisation , believingif it is steadily pursued , will ultimately establish the Charter the law of the land . We deny ,
in toto , any connection with Government agents . " That we , the Chartists of Bromsgroye , do hereby solemnly protest against J . Collins Bitting in the Petitions' Convention , as he is not a member of the National C&arter Association , and we cannot place that confidence in him which ought to be placed in a person filling that important station , " " That the best thanks of this meeeting be given to the Editor of the Northern Star for his able exposure of the foul and secret move of Collins , O'Neil , and Co . " " That those resolutions be Bent to the Northern Star for insertion . " After three cheers had been given for the Charter , three for O'Connor , and three for the Star , the meeting dispersed .
BIBBUNGHAM . —Fbost . &c . Restoration Committee . —The Committee held their usual meeting at th « Chartist Room , Freeman-street , on Tuesday evening last . The minutes of the former meeting were read and approved ; after which , several names were added to the Committee .

Roberts , of Bath , with a money order ; and from Mr . Saul , of London , inquiring whether the Committee had received 10 s . which he remitted in a for . uer letter . Af-. er the correspondence was gone through , a long conversation took place with regard to Mr . Cullen , as he had
been requested to take Mr . Moir ' s place in presenting the memorials to the Queen . It was agreed that the Committee should wait for -his answer before any other steps were taken . The Secretary was requested to write to tbe Northern Star Office , foT whatever monies they might have on hand for the use of the Committee . It was also resolved to hold a meeting at the Chartist Room , Freeman-street , for the benefit of the Committee ' s funds , in case Messrs . Pitkethly or Cullen passed through on their way to London . After transacting other business connected with the Ccmmittee , and discharging the bills which were presented , the meeting then separated .
AUPRETON . —Mr . Tickers , of Belper , and Mr . Simmons , of Sutton-in-Ashfield , addressed a very large and attentive audience on the imperishable principles of the Charter , in thi 3 Tory seat of corruption , in powerful and animated strains , which produced great effect on the working men of Alfreton , who are about to form an interest here . A powerful feeling now exists . Many publications are being taken in here on the Cbamr , which will do great good . WANDSWORTH . —The following resolutions
were adopted by a numerous meeting , on Tueiday evening last : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the * new move' of Lovett , Collins , and Co ., is a decided attempt to destroy the present plan of organisation , therefore we consider it our imperative duty to meet it with the most determined oppposition . " " That the Editor of tbe Northern Star is eminently entitled to our confidence for his manly and honest exposure of the' Lovett and Co . ' s document , ' and for his powerful and nnceasing advocacy of the rights of the working classes . "

¦ •¦ -- ¦ ' •¦ ^^' TRIUMPH OF CHARTISM IN THE PRIESTRIDDEN , AND POLICE-RULED CITY OF CHESTER . TO THE WORKING MEN OF ENGLAND .
Brothers , and Fellow Chartists , —It will be fresh in yonr memories that Superintendent Hill , and bis Hillcoolies , by sheer intrigue and tyranny , put a stop to the meeting I called on my liberation from prison , and , for a time , arrested the movement within tbe city . They could not , however , eradicate the principles within , or banish discussion without the walls . On my arrival here , I was immediately informed that a room had been engaged , and duly licensed for preaching in , because on no other terms could a meeting place be engaged . Several preachers were applied to , bnt on intimation from the police ,
they desiated . It became then a point of honour with me to meet the danger a second time ; and , having an old score to rub out , I felt but toe proud of the opportunity . I am no hypocrite ; I hate all cant . I am of opinion with O"CoDnor , that hy aping the forms of the bigotted church , we strengthen tbe hands of the enemy . Nevertheless , I am ready to knock them down either with bullet or Bible , and , accordingly , a Chartist sermon was announced , by large bills on the wails , to be preached by Dr . P . M . M'Douall , on Wednesday , tbe 14 : h day of April , 1841 , in the Primitive Christian Church , at half-past six o ' clock .
Long before the time appointed , the place was crowded , and the chief Hillcoolie was hastening to the appointed place , when be was readily encountered by a friend at the cross . Where away so fast , Mr . Hill ? That little devil is back again , now mind , I'll have him back where he was before . He has stolen a march upon me , d—m him . He has got bills printed in Liverpool and covered the town vrith them at uigbt , during my absence ; but by G ^ d I'll clear the pla ce out , tee if I dont- Take care what you are doing , Mr . Hill , said our friend . The place is licensed , and there is a fine of £ 40 and three months' imprisonment if you interrupt a religious meeting . D—n religion , I know what sort of a sermon it will be ; I'll haTe them out ,
I'll clear the place ; and off he trotted to collect his coolies , and amongst others a meddling priest of the name of Taylor , well known in the city as Parson Biuybody . The great man came , big with authority ; no person disputed his entrance , but whether he had tasted a second draught , or heard of the determination of some staunch fellows to resist if blows were used , I know not . All I know Is , that I went on with my sermon . It was delivered with a hearty good will , and I did not forget tbe police in the corner . Every thing passed off with spirit and amidst great applause . A gentleman of the name of Yaughau officiated as clerk , and rapped hard at the system in his prayers , and after his own peculiar fashion .
Thia was the first blow given hy the aid of tbe Bible , at the priesthood , and I believe that it is tae best book with which to floor a parson . On the Friday we had another crowded meeting , attended aa usual by the police . It -was , if possible , more crowded than the first , and preacher , lawyer , and shopkeeper were present Previous to the Friday we had an offer from a printer in Chester to do any work for us which we might require . We bad likewise one or two offers of more convenient places to meet in ; so much for energy , perseverance , and being independent of the police .
On Sunday , the 18 tb , Mr . Vaugban preached in the same room to a crowded and gratified assembly . This gentleman is in the habit of preaching without fee or reward . He is one of . the tight aort , and unpaid as he has been , he hat been pulled over the coals already by tbe gold-seeking preacher * of bis connexion . As he will loose nothing by forsaking them , and we will gain much by his co-operation in each a place as Chester , I thank bis connexion for the service they have done as . On Monday , the 19 th , another meeting was announced to be held in tbe Bame place , and our bills being
oxh&u&ted , a master shoemaker , of the name of Speed , who lives exactly opposite the cathedral , advertised tbe meeting in chalk letters upon his shutters . His house is situated in one of the chief thoroughfares , and tbe object of the meeting being made prominent to &J 1 , namely , "that a Chartist Association would be formed , " &c the police and tbe parsons were very much annoyed , and the alarm being given , the whole crew of idlers came ont like £ at rats from a pantry-Tne Dean and Chapter came attended by a posse of police , and one of the sextons bearing a bucket of water and a mop . They commenced with great industry to rub out the chalk letters , and out come the shoe-

maker " with , great Speed" to see what was the matter , anrt beingr in reality a great Speed , " he put his back against hia own shutter , and eoolly told ihe Keverend tbe Dean soft Chapter Parson Busybody and the HlU-cooUies to desist , or he -wouldpknoek them down . A croird collected ; and various cries escaped tbe lookers-on . " Go home , and whitewash your own house . " "Aye , mop yonr own black tatiem * « Begin where charity begins , and don't end there . " Tbe parsons showed the better part of valour , and retreated amidst shouts of laughter , with tbe backet taurthe mopstlck , and the name they hate in Chester fc , t&B Knighta of the Mopstlck , Lord Egllnton , of eotme / tobe grand master of the holy order . Mr . Speed received immediate notice to quit hia houM , which notlcd he very waggishly posted upon the church premises , thus much for the church backet and the parson's mopstick .
At seven o ' clock , we bad a very fall meeting , and after I had addressed the meeting , we passed unanimously the following resolutions : <• That thia meeting agree to form an association , to be called the Cheater Chartist Association ; and further pledge themselves to cany into law by every legal and constitutional means , the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . " . " That the Chester Chartist Association d « agree to incorporate themselves with the National Chartist Association of Great Britain , and moat cordially accept of , and agree to , the recommendation laid down by the Manchester delegates . "
Mr . Speed , shoemaker , was elected Sacretary ; Mr . Pritchard , ironmonger and grocer , Treasurer ; and John Burchell , George Trape , John Boulton , Richard Klrkham , John Vaughan , John Un win , and Thomas Jones , a Committee of Management and Council , for the City of Chester . Most of these men are master tradesmen , and uuder care of the working men will be comparatively safe , A great number of members joined at the conclusion of tbe meeting ; and , in proof of the soundness of principle and determination now shown in Chester . I am authorised to say that Chester will now and henceforward have her delegate ready on all necessary ccasions , and lecturers who now visit the city , will be hospitably entertained .
No collections were mode in any of the above meetings ; and the Committee have pieageu uuuuserves 10 keep an open and free meeting room for the space of twelve months , by which time the Association will be fairly on its legs . My friends , I think these men , wh « m I have named , deserve the thanks of the country for their efforts in the cause , and very shortly we shall have the standard hoisted in those towns of Wales hitherto dead to our causa and ignorant of our principles . I have paid back another instalment to the Whigs , and verified my word
to the people , when I said nearly two years ago , that I would begin the game at the gates of my' prison . I have done so , and I shall go on rubbing out score after score , until I have repaid minutes of imprisonment by days of labour in tbe cause , and days of solitary study by years of increasing efforts in the cause of human regeneration . I am , dear friends , Your faithful advocate and brother Chnttist and Republican , P . M . M'Douall .
P S . I shall be in Birmingham , on Monday , the 26 th day of April , and shall remain there until the meeting of the Convention , if I am to be a member of it . If not I shall publish a tour of agitation , which I intend to make in the South of England . Chester , April 20 th , 1841 .

TO MR . LOVETT . Dear Sir , —As human "beings ore not Infallible they are liable to en- Appearances frequently mislead the ju-. igment ; therefore , persons committing themselves in any respect , whose motives are purely for the general good of mankind , deserve pity ; but they who designedly commit actions that they are convinced will injure any measure for the public weal must be viewed in a very different position . It is true I have signed the printed address bearing the signature TV . Lovett . The general tenor , as an auxiliary to tbe National Charter Association , I approve of , if practicable , and
consider sorao of tbe charges well founded , viz , Useless expenditure in formal show , and , in some instances , passionate invective ; but these , in the present state of society , require time to erase . As it is by comparison we discern the real differences in objects , so it is by comparison of men ' s profession and the company they have associated with in the past , with their present profession and associates , that we learn if there is a change in principle , whether under the assumed garb of mild cant , honest bluntness , or passionate invective . But to return to the address , " to be returned by return of post . "
Why such baste * This , upon reflection , I do not like . Mr . Collins objected to the meeting upon fioll « way Head , Birmingham , for not being properly convened . For the same reason I object to my name being bandied in newspapers until your meetings are properly convened , nor even then if we are to be the tools of Parliamentary knaves , or that knave , the Big Beggarman —the Children ' s Factory Bill apostate . I should almost disbelieve a truism proceeding from the lips of Bee ' zebub , the prince of liars , though he had redeemed his character -, but more do I disbelieve political knaves , and more still do I dread their hypocritical profession of honesty whose characters are unredeemed . -
In conclusion , I consider knowledge is strength , if properly directed ; and division is weakness , with all the philosophy and learning in the world . If your object is division , strike me instantly from your list , because I worship not at the shrine of Mammon . If you do , I pity you , And remain , A primitive Chartist In the cause of Human redemption , W . J . Osborne . Nuneaton , April 18 , 1841 .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —I wish to have my name erased from the list of those that are affixed to Lovett and Collins ' s address . The circular that I affixed my name to was sent to Daventry , to a person of the name of Wild , who used to be a leading man amongst ub , and is now a regular turncoat , and left tbe town ; but thinking that the address was a general thing , and approved of by the National Charter Association a few of us met together , and thinking that the plan , so far as it went for educating the people and spreadiug information , to be very good , two of us uffixtd our names to it . But since we find it will lead to a division amongst the people , we dissent from any such plan ; and as I Hud my name amongst those in your last week's Star , I wish to have it erased .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sib ., —Having seen my name in the last number of the Star , among " The New Iiondou Society of Ratcatchers , " as " Cato" has been pleased to call them , I beg , through you , to state , for the satisfaction of my friends and tlie public , that when I received the circular signed per Lovett and Co ., I did not like the secrecy enjoined with regard to its publication , as I considered that a good thing could not have too much publicity .. This , however , did not recur to my mind until too / ate . I received it on Tuesday , the 6 th Instant , and it being market day , I did not even read it through ; for
when I saw the names of Lovett and Collins , men -whom I knew bad passed the flery ordeal of Whig persecution , and who so nobly stood out when in Warwick Castle , I signed it with all my heart , and it was re-posted within one hour after I received it , not for a moment suspecting that there was any deviation from tbe straightforward course to that " consummation devontly to be wished . " Consequently , I consider that I was little better than caught in a trap ; but having the power to extricate myself , I request my name to be struck from the list , aa I renounce the new move and all its works ; and beg to subscribe myself , Yours , respectfully , Joseph Welch .

No ; never will I consent that there be a slave-class in the British Empire . You will , therefore , expunge my name from the list published in last Saturday ' s Star .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —I am very sorry to observe my name among the list attached to Lovett ' s address in the Star of Saturday last ; and J think it due to myself and my country to state why it is there . When I received that address , I was on my way for Beith , in Ayrshire , to attend a public meeting . I glanced it carelessly over , saw they professed to stand for the Charter , and , reflecting that it was signed hy Lovett and Collins— -men whom the country had done so much to honour—I could not believe them ungrateful for the many favours they had received ; and , more especially , when I saw the name of John Cleave , the announced London publisher of the Northern Star ; and when still further , I saw the name of Henry Bettering , ton , the victim of priestly tyranny and Whig malice , I never conjectured for one moment that I win the
hands of the enemy , but thought assuredly that it was a branch of the Grand National Association , and therefore appended my name , without writing one word ia reply to the authors . But no sooner had I reflected on the nature of the address than I wrote immediately to Mr . Lovett , stating that if it was intended as an opposition Association to the one already in existence , I could be no party to such proceedings ; and as our cause required union and exertion , I never would countenance any plan whose object was to breed discord in the ranks of the people . Mr . Lovett must have been in possession of that letter , I should think , before ne sent the list to tne scar ; u so , 1 iuuk . upon it as cruel and unjust to append my name to the document , when I had so distinctly expressed my disapprobation of the conduct of its concoctore . However , I have been caught in the rut-trap for once . It is tbe first time ; it may also be the last .
I have freely and fully confessed my sins ; and I now earnestly implore my country to forgive my trespass . I am , Sir , Yours , truly , John M'Crae . Kilbachan , 19 th April , 1841 .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In your paper of Saturday , I find a list ot names that have been attached to the address of Luvett , Collins , and Company , and as my name stands in the list , I consider it a duty that I owe to my brother Chartists to inform them of the reasons noon which 1 affixed my name to that address . You will observe that the answers to it were to be returned bjr the first post , so that little time was given to examine the plan proposed by the secret projectors of the new movement . I confess , that without due consideration , I appended my name , under the impression that the proposed plan was intended to assist the National Charter Association at present in existence ; and wishing to do all in my power to forward the cause of civil and religious liberty , I affixed my name to the address . But , on considering for a little the proposed plan of agitation , I at once perceived that the New Association would come in contact with the other
Association , which has not got a fair trial ; and under the impression that it would be better to throw all influence in to aid it , and to rectify anything that was not right , I saw that I had done wrong ; and to rectify my error I wrote to Mr . Lovett , on the 10 th , to erase my name from the address ; so that 1 am surprised to find it hi your paper on Saturday . I therefore inform Mr . Lovett and the Test of bis associates in the New O'Connell Move , that I will not aid or abet any party , that would try to divide the united energies of a suffering people , struggling for their liberty . If they are not pleased with tbe present ; Association , why not alter it , and not be proposing plans that cannot at present be carried into operation . The new plan , I perceive , has the praise of Mr . O'Connell ; this is a warning to every honest man to withdraw hia name immediately . I remain , yours , in the cause of universal liberty , Alexander Davie . Glasgow , April 10 th .

Sir , '—In the list of signatures to the circular of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , asd Co ., published in the Sun of the 13 th inBtaat , appears the name of " Charles Jones , Northampton ; " and as such insertion tends to convey an idea that be is the adopted representative of the Radical interest in this town , and thereby disparaging us in the esteem of our Chartist brethren , we feel ourselves impelled thus publicly to avow , that Cbarles Jones is not a member , nor in any shape identified with us , and that he must have received and signed tho circular as a private individual , owing to his former prominent situation as delegate to tbe Convention from North Wales . And at the same time we must record our sentiments to be , that we view the present conduct of Lovett , &c . with suspicion and distrust ; or why embrace , with such avidity , the names of apparently obscure individuals to swell their list of signatures , and thereby deceive the friends of Reform ?
By inserting tbis in yonr valuable and extensively circulated paper , you will inform the unwary , further the objects ef the Chartists , and confer an obligation on the members of tbe Working Men ' s Association . Signed on their behalf , In meeting assembled , John M'Farlane , Chairman . Association Boom , Northampton , April 10 th , 1841 .

Sir , —I feel it to be an incumbent duty , which I owe to my brethren and sisters in the cause of Chartism , to offer a few observations on a list of names which appeared in the Star of last week , professing to be those who were engaged as principals in carrying out another plan of organisation , of which list my name formed one . I have for some time known , and very much admixed the grand , the magnificent conception , so ably developed by the great philanthropist Pestalozzi ; end though I waa satisfied it was impracticable to carry ifc out to its extent in the present state of society , yet I
believed that if it were properly arranged , much which was useful might be accomplished . When , therefore , I received a circular , to which six signatures were attached , five of whom I had long known , and four of whom highly respected , believing them to be sincere friends to the cause of Chartism , I concluded at once that the plan would be submitted to the accredited organ of the Chartist body , for their consideration ; I unhesitatingly gave my approbation of the principles contained in tho plan , but without the least design that my name should be published as one of those self-elected individuals who were to endeavour to carry it Out .
I have been deceived , as many wiser men than myself have been before me ; and I have neither obstinacy enough to continue In a detected error , nor false pride enough to withhold the acknowledgement I would charitably hope that my former colleagues , who promulgated the document in question , have done it with a good and patriotic intention , and have been blind to the mischievous purpose to which our canning enemies would turn it . By subsequent information , I find that it has been hailed aa a Godsend by several of the Whig bit by bit Reformers , and has not pnly been lauded by some of their party journals , but has been honoured with the express approbation of the great Don himself . In fact , with their adroit management , they are aware that they could contrive not only to divide the Chartist body into at least two factions , bnt , by directing their attention to the remote future , paralyse , if not destroy , the agitation for the present—upon the energy of which alone all our rational hopes of success are founded .
Impressed with this belief , I bog to he distinctly and generally understood , that I decline altogether any connection with , or encouragement of a plan capable of being converted into so terrible an engine of destruction ; and , if my humble name was capable of adding the least importance to the transaction , I hereby withdraw it . And I further earnestly solicit such of my former colleagues and friends of the days that are past , whose names appear in that list , and who have probably been deceived , like myself , to give the subject due consideration ; and , by following my example , deprive the mischievous instrument of the greater portion of its sting , and let the anticipated triumph of our enemies be turned into a source of mortification and defeat T .

OLD PARIL'S LIFE PILLS . THE BEADERS of the Northern Star are particularly -requested to read carefully the following account of the BENEFICIAL EFFECTS of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester and the Neighbourhood : — The following facts have been mentioned to Mr . J . F . Winks , the Agent for PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester , who has preserved the name and residence of each of the parties , which he ia ready to produce : — ' J . C -, Oxford-street , Leicester , aged 44 , had
been ill two years , of a kind of influenza . The club surgeon said he was in a consumption , and would never recover . He began to take these Pills three months ago , previous to which he had been confined to his bf > d six months . The Pills first brought away a great deal of offensive matter , and then he gradually recovered . Can now walk about without a stick , and thought it his duty to make it known . He called again afterwards , and begged that his name might not be published , as it might offend the club doctor . *
The wife of Mr . Brown , in Fleet-street , had been in a low way for some time ; she took the Pills regularly , and soon found her spirits more cheerful ; and her sight and hearing , which had been affected were improved . She said they were pleasant to take , not causing a sickly feeling , or giving the least pain . Miss Evans , Chatham-street , is a mender in a warehouse . Had been much afflicted for several years , and notable to domore than two hours work in a day . She took the Pills , and soon was improved in health , and could see much better . She now works her regular
hours . Mr . Henshaw , of Bagworth , kad been long subject to palpitation of the heart , and could not walk uphill . Had the advice of an eminent physician ia Leicester , but was not better till he took these Pills , but now is quite recovered . The wife of Mr . J . Frost , at tbesame place , was so tormented with a cough , that she could not sleep . She had taken the Pills , which had done her , her husband said , a " world ef good . " Mr . R . Vann , of'Belgrave , had been ill five years Of palpitation of the heart . Had been in the Infirmary , and under several physicians and surgeons . Has been gradually improving since he took these Pills , and is now able to work . Mrs . Turner , of Whetstone , had found them very beneficial for the scrofula .
FROM MR . CLAEKE , OF PETERBOROUGH . Peterborough , March 27 , 1841 . ' Gentlemen , —During the last fortnight I have sold nearly one hundred boxes of Pa-rr ' s Life Pills , and the good effects produced by them have been most astounding . One person who has been many years dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic complaint , stated , that he felt certain from the good they had already done him , that if he xould only remain quietly at home , instead of being obliged to go to work , they would completely cure him . Another person who bad a bad knee , said that they had done her more good than all the doctors . In fact , I have no hesitation in sa ' ying , that if your extraordinary medicine required such aid to bring it into notice , which in this part of the world it does not , I could with ease obtain a dozen more such cases , with the names and addresses of the parties . " I remain , Gentlemen , M Yours respectfully , "J . S . CLARKE . "
Spring and Fall . —The spring and fall of the leaf have been always remarked aa periods whea disease , if it be lurking in the system , is sure to shew itself . The coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body , and in this state of inactivity their evil to Ihe system is not perceived , but at the spring these are roused , and if not checked , mix up and circulate with the blood , and thus the whole system is contaminated . These pills taken three overy night for two or three weeks will rid the body of all that is noxious , and produce health and comfort . Persons troubled with scorbutic affections are strongly advised to try them ai this time of the year ; in a few days , they will perceive the powerful clearing properties they possess , and thus be induced to continue them . Recently , a remarkable case where a gentleman was so dreadfully afflicted With
a scorbutic disorder as to be quite unsightly , by » patient undeviatiug course of these pills , his system has undergone a thorough chaogo , and hia skin i » now as fair and sound as of a healthy child . The fall of the leaf also is a time when the system , relaxed by the beat of the summer , would be highly benefited by a few weeks' course of the pills , two or three every night ; these will clear off sour and bad humours , which heat invariably generates . The liver , which , generally gets Bluggish , will be put into healthy action , and thus be able t * perform the fmnctions allotted to it ; the body altogether will be re-invigorated , and prepared to undergo whatever change the winter may bring on . Many other cases have been mentioned by persons wko have purchased the Pills . Indeed , the veryextensive and increasing salo of this useful . Modicine , ia the best proof that can be desired how higkly it is appreciated . Sold by most respectable Medicine Venders , in Boxes at la . lid ., 2 i . 9 d ., and 11 s .
