      EXTRAORDINARY CASE . Mrs . Joseph Simpson has been severely afflicted , for the last 30 years , with a violent cough and difficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her domestic obligations . She took cold when only 15 years old , and the cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life Pills . She had tried almost every kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' s Pilta about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box she found herself completely cured , and was never afflicted in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is bow better in health than p he has ever been in her life . This cure does indeed appear miraeulons , tmtfor the satisfaction of the most incredulous , Bhe has kindly consented to answer any inquiries , either by personal application , or oy letter addressed "Mrs .

ENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , Bhewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonorrhoea , Gleets , and Strictures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the bead , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all its attendant sympathies anddangerou 8 consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitio infection . . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry's Purifying Speoifio Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriaoum ( Price lls . and 33 s . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . per Box , are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe eases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an earl ? application is made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified nse of Mercury , has been productive of infinite misohief ; under the notion , of its . being an antidote fer a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error f Thousands are annually either mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so ^ paired , as to render tho residue of life miserable . The disorder we hate in view owes its Iffii ^ L ** f * ° « " * fe ? t or ignorance .

What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched fromall the prospects and enioyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease whioh is not , in its own nature , fatal , and whioh never proves so if properly treated . .

It is only by purifying the vital stream from insidious disease , that the body can be preserved in health and vigour . Hence the infinite variety of complaints an infected state of the blood induces , and hence the new and deoeptive forms a tainted habit puts on , which often deceive the most eminent of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towards aeure . In those disorders wherein , salivation has left the patient uncured , weak , and disheartened , and when no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health whioh he has unfortunately lost , the Purifying Specific Pills will be found the only effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever , been successful , though administered in many desperate cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well as removing Pimples from the Face ; Sore Legs , w other disagreeable Eruptions on the head , face , aid body .

SFR , —It is now twelve months since I made you acquainted with the very extraordinary benefit I have derived by taking Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatio Pills , which were kindly recommended to me by Major Birch , of Crondale , near Farnham , who humanely came to my house to take my affidavit , that I might receive my half-pay , being then laid up with one of my serious attacks . I then forwarded to you the Garrison Order by whioh I was invalided home from Newfoundland after many years of great suffering . I now beg further to say , that , within the last twelve months , I have had several attacks , but have , thank God , with the assistance of the Pills , been always able to ward it off without much pain , and have not once had a return of those weakening perspirations which formerly afflicted me , and am now in excellent comparative health . I have also to inform you that Mr . George Maynard , of Cove , near Farnborough , carrier , having witnessed the effect of Blair's Pills on me ? and being himself attacked with Gout , tried the Pills , and obtained immediate relief . If you please you may publish this additional proof of the value of this medicine . I am , Sir , yours , truly , J . Masters . GARRISON ORDER ABOVE ALLUDED TO . ( CERTIFICATE . ) St .

      GLASGOW .-A meeting of the directors of the Lanarkshire Universal Suffrage AsBoeiatHra . was held in their own Hall , College Open , oa Taesday night week , for the purpose of making arrangements for calling a public meeting of the citizens of Glasgow , in order to wnsider the propriety of eleetisg two delegates to attend the Soottieh Convention , about to be held ia Glasgow . After some diseaBsmi , it waa agreed te hold the said meeting in St . Ann % Church , en Moaitay , Nov . 8 ; h . The public mind in Glasgow is at present in the highest possible piteh of exeiienent , is consequence of the approaching discBssion whiefcis to take place «« the 4 th , in the New Bazaar BaM , between Breweter and OConwr . Brewster ' s party in Glasgow , wkkh comprises alt the equivocal

      Char tists , sham . Radicals , Whigs , O'ConHellites , Oera Law repealers , and praying teetotallers , are Id active operation , « iustering their foroes i while the strong army of tr « e Chartista ia and around Glasgow are in the highest spirits , gtorying in this fortunate opportoni ^ of crashing , in one sight , the combined powers « f quackery , Whiggery , and humbng . It is now ep parent to the reflective and intelligent portion « f the Chartist body here that the Sey . Paddy Brewster has some deep and damaiog design under bis present huating after and persecution of O'CoBBor : in fact , it is firmly beliered that he is acting fer a party who at present chooses to remain behiad the screen , antil the parson has prepared the stage for their performance : but woefully

      will they be disappointed , -deep will be their mortification , ced terribly disastrous their defeat ; while it will add oew strength , « nd inspire new vigour , into the friends of our glerious and virtuous movement , and that generous devotion to the great champion of oer cause will be increased , and his petty and croons fees looked upon with that suspicion which their ungenerous conduct so justly merits . *• Now ^ s the day , and now s the hoar ; " Sootland Joes not expect , feeoaase she knows that every Chartist and every friend of freedom will do his duty . BsnesTon . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Bridgeton was held in the Chartist Hall , Dale-Btreet , for the purpose of hearing a lecture from Mr . Thompson , editor of the Scottish Patriot and Chartkt Oscular , on the present evils of society ; Mr . John Cowan , was called to the chair , who briefly

      introduced the talented lecturer te the meeting . Mr . Thompson then in a strain of impassioned eloquence , which thrilled through every heart , laid open tbe many evils which existed in the present state of society ., the vast amount of corruption , the extensive robberies which was perpetrated , and the hollow and heartless acts of in just ice which was practised npon the industrious poor of Great Britain and Ireland , bj x banditti and nnprmoiplecl aristocracy , and a no l&S&gr&sping &&d profligate mepfck&ntile aod trading sbepocracy , while he depicted in glowing and affecting language the gross immorality , debauchery , gluttony , and fearful extravagance which flowed from this state of things on the ope hand , aad the vast amount of misery , destitution , disease , starvation , and death , which was the consequence on the other . He then referred to the various remedies

      proposed for this state of things such as Socialism , MaIVh"ft' * * fi | Chartism , nonintrusionism , voluntaryism , church building , tract distributing , emigration , co-operation , and teetotalism , which he did in a strain of hamour , satirising Bome , ridiculing others , and applauding the good amid the mest lively bursts of approbation . He wound up his lecture by giving it as his opinion that no system however good for the amelioration of the many could ever be carried into effect until the people had the power of making the lawB by which they were to be governed , and that could never be the case until the People ' s Charter became the law of the land . The Jectorer sat down amid loud cheering , after which a discussion ensued , in which Messrs . Black . Ewing .

      JPHay , Melroy , Rodger . Shovelbottom , Martin , and others took a part ; after which Mr . Thompson summed up , and in allusion to something which had been said about the Corn Laws , he staled it as his belief that those who expected good from a repeal of the Corn Laws were labouring under a state of haJucination , and those who advocated a repeal of those laws without a corresponding reduction of our public burdens , was praetisng a system of roguery and deception , while be pointed oat the absolute ftUy and alter hopelessness of getting these laws repealed by the voluntary act of a House of Commons aad a house of hereditary lords and landowners , whose interest it was to perpetrate these unjust and © bnoxkws laws , and consequently the same universal

      power which would be required to compel these houses to repeal these laws would carry the Charter , a document about which there could be no mistake , aad which would confer a power npon the peeple which would enable them at once to shake from their shoulders the terrible incabus of despotism , oppression , and corruption which has so long withered and cursed our native land . These sentiments . gave nai-Tcrsal satisfaction . A Tota of thanks was then rapturously given to the lecturer , and another to the chairman , when the meeting dissolved . A Spletdid Chahist Concert was held in the lyseum Rooms , on Saturday night , which was

      crowded to overflowing . The solo and comic song followed in rotation , calling forth loud bursts of applause . These concerts are held every Saturday evening , thus bringing together the friends of the movement and enabling them to pass a few hours of unalloyed happiness away from the contaminating influence too often found in the dram-shop where the "working classes having no other place ol resort , too of tea repair for relaxation after their week ' s hard tofl , and-while these concerts furnishes our brother aad sister Chartists with amusement , the proceeds -faraisa the means for carrying on the movement , hence we would say te other towns—follow the example of Glasgow .

      The haxdloox weavers committee beg leave to state through the Star that they are making active preparations for the benefit lecture , which Mr . O'Connor has kindly consented to deliver for their benefit before fie leaves Scotland . BRADFORD . —Mr . Henry Vincent delivered an eloquent and impressive lecture on Wednesday evening , the 27 th nit ., in the Social Institution , to a crowded audience . He commenced his lecture at eight o ' clock . Mr . James Dewhirst was called to the chair , who made a few remarks , and then introduced Mr . Vincent to the meeting , who was received with three tremendous cheers , and clapping of hands . After the cheers had subsided , Mr . Vincent briefly introduced himself to their notice , by stating that

      many in that audience , perhaps , knew nothing about him , but what they had heard from the Whig and Tory press , which invariably represented him as a disaffected and dangerous character—as one who did all in his power to promote anarchy , revolution , and bloodshed . The lecturer then entered into the circumstances attending his arrest and trial at Monmouth , giving a phrenological description of the ignorant and stapid Jury by which he was tried and found « oiliy , likewise an account of his subsequent imprisonment , and his sufferings in Monmouth Gaol , the Milbanfr Penitentiary , and in O&kham Gaol . He save an account of the conversation between Lord Normanby and himself on the Charter , and made a direct charge against his Lordship of breaking the

      law , ob purpose to punish him with the most heartless , cruel , and degrading treatment which could be devised . Mr . Vincent kept his audience continually in a titter , with his admirable minsiery of the different characters who figured en the part of the prosecution of himself and others . He was repeatedly greeted with the most enthusiastic and deafening cheers . The talented lecturer gave a soul-stirring description of the origin of Government , and the duty of the Government , and the people ; he depicted , in language the most forcible and energetic , the neglect , and flagrant abuse of the powers which tbe people placed in the hands of their rulers for the benefit of society at large . He next explained the six points of the Charter ,

      contrasting the ten pouad Suffrage with Household , and eonviacedhis audience that Universal , or the Charter Suffrage , was the most jast aad rational for the working classes to contend for ; he insisted that Household Suffrage weuld give the lauded aristeeracy more power than they now possessed . Mr . V . said the objection that was made , that annual elections would cause uproar and confusion , would be of no more moment than meeting to give their representative a vote of thanks for his services if he were honest , and had done his duty to the people , they would return him again ; if ha had done otherwise , they would very deservedly send him about bis bmsiaess , and select another in his stead . The Ballot he contended , would protect the fanner , or- the tenant

      from the influence and intimidation of the landlord , shopkeeper from his customer , the labourer from his master , and the mechanic and artizan from the tyranny which millocrats hare ever used towards those who have the franchise ; every person would then be able to give his vote in accordance with his own conscience . The payment of members was considered by the Whigs and Tories as foolishness , seeing they had so many honourable aad worthy gentlemen who would be glad to serve them for honour . The property qualification for members ought to be abolished , and talent , honesty , and integrity , ought *• be the only qualification for those whe are to govern the nation . Mr V . contended for the division of the empire into electoral districts , and not for a borough consisting of a population of about 200 to have the same political power as another borough

      teas contains twenty thousand . Ha explained a an eloquent manner the six points of the Charter , aad made an affectionate appeal to the female part of feu audience ; after which he sat down in a state of aoeh exhaustion . The Chairman called on Mr . John Smith to move a memorial to Sir James Graham , for the liberation of Robert Peddie , William Brook , John Walker , and Naj , the only four prisoners that are in prison fer the Bradford riots , as they were called . Mr . Josb . Brook seconded the motion , which was carried , after an alteration suggested by Mr . Clarkson . A vote of thanks was moved by Mr . Alderaon , seconded by Mr . Brook , to Mr . Vincent , which was carried unanimously . Three cheers were then given for Mr . O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for the { Sorter , after which the meeting broke up .

      visits of lecturers to Bacup will be productive of much good . There is a portion of the first report which we sent 70 a th&t appeared in the Star dated October 9 in , which states that " Hargreaves the Corn Law Humbug , said that this plaoe was 100 years behind any other in point of civilization , but had he said 100 years before any other in point of tyranny , he would have said aright . " This has caused dissension and ill feeling between the manufacturers ot Bacnp and the members of our Association . They ( the manufacturers ) believe that this sentence applies to them . Now , the members of Bacup Chartist Association deny that the sentence above alluded to , had any allusion to the manufacturers , and hope this contradiction will heal the breach that has been made by the wrong appropriation of the sentence .

      VALUABLE "WORKS . JaB ^ published , price 2 s . 12 mo . bonnd in cloth , TMFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY JD AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar .

      BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in thiB Work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hair ' s-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Worka on Grammar , are exchanged

      for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as dearly as it understands that two and two make four .

      In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better than a heap of senselesB Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Use of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS ,

      Seleoted from a host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the publio estimation in which this Workisholden : — "Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . . . It is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of tbe structure of the English language than can be found in some very elaborate works . "—Literary Gaxette .

T IlfrReadersof this Newspaper will have seen advertised every week for a long period an account of the benefits arising from taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS .

Life is not life , unlesss 'tis blessed with health , Tho' rich in fame and uninoumbered wealth , Tho' under sunny sky or frigid polar star , Life without health is nought—then hail to thee - OLD PARR 1 What mighty treasures are by thee revealed , More than Peruvia'a mines can ever yield 1 Not rich Goloonda ' s glittering diamond rare Can purchase health , —then hail to thee OLD PAHB ! 'Twas thy high purpose to make known to man , The power to lengthen out on earth , his little span Of life , —which erst was woe and oaro , But now is bright with joy , thro * thee old pabr !

      Thousands late racked with agonising pain , Now feel new vigour thrill thro' every vein ! Disease no longer shall their pleasures mar ; They bless the day they heard of thee old fabb ! Hail glorious boon ! hail gift benign ! Go forth from pole to pole , to every clime , Let every land , both near and far , Possess the blessing left by thee OLD FARR ! * The author of this humble rhyme dictates it

      with a respectful feeling of gratitude to the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills , which have been , under the blessing of God , a means of restoring him to a new life after a long period of aggravated suffering . London , April 20 . J . R . B . The proprietors of Parr's Life Pills beg to state that they attach neither merit or importance to the above lines , but present them to the publio as the effusion of a joyous spirit liberated from the thraldom of a prolonged and aggravated state of mental and bodily suffering .
