Tl / fR . HOBSON , Star Office , Leeds ; has become ill 'General Agent for Dr , GREEK'S Genuine Improved Universal VEGETABLE HYGEIAN MEDICINES , of Glasgow , and is authorised to appropriate 10 per cent , off his sales to obtain the Charter , and aid the distressed victims of oppression . Dr . Greer ' a Pills are sold in stamped boxes of 13 ^ d . 2 a . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Us ; each . The small boxes have sixty pills , the 2 s . 0 d . have one hundred and eighty ; the Is . 6 d . have three hundred and thirty , and thej lls . boxes have eight hundred and sixty pills in each box ; so that the larger the box the cheaper in proportion . As Dr . Greer was professor for the British College of Health , London , during the years 1832 , 1833 , and 1834 ; and as he was chosen by the Proprietors of that Institution , and above 10 , 000 Englishmen to revise the Materia Medica . &c . his Pills , of course ^ must be an improvement of Morrison ' s . But theybear Dr . Greer ' a own name only . And to distinguish them from all other pills , No . 1 has a white label , and No . 2 a green label on the box lid . i Although No . 2 is the strongest and most efficient purgative , and is the principal medicine to keep the bowels in good order , and to subdue all acute inflammatory diseases at onoe by a few brisk dosesihriod a day . Yet as Nd . 1 is the best tonic diuretic and exhilirant , and as its essence circulates 7 , 000 times through the body in the blood , oftener than that of No . 2 before it operates , therefore , all chronic diseases require that both , should be Hsed : alternately , daily , and by which every disease of whatever nature , in either young or old , on sea and land , which can be cured , are cured by them . When Dr . Greer finds any man who understands the human body , and the Materia Medica better than himself , he will become his pupil and patronise his medicines . Mr . Hobson will give a sheet of cares and directions with the boxes , to shew the efficacy and the safety of these medicines , to those who purchase them . These Pills have been above seven years before the publio , and have obtained a character which invites enquiry and challenges competition in the cure of all diseases . JAS . GEEER , Professor of Hygeianism , &c . Glasgow , January , 1842 .

In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is . completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases where other practititioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent ' and radical cure * It Trequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding poiBon is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effect a perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease haa been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be : depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved tp prevent a return of the disease , and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can onl y be acquired by those who are in daily practice , ana have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fail victims to the ignorant-use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constir tution b y suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by the circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting , the 6 kin « particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as senryy , at another period producing the most violent paini in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thu 3 the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death put * a period to their dreadful sufferings . What agrief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , aa all its fatal results . are owing either to negleot 91 ignorance .

COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED TOO LATE FOR OUR LA 5 T . "
JJUBUN . —The Irish TJnirersal Suffrage Association t % id their usual weekly meeting on Sunday , the 23 rd instant , at their great rooms , No . 14 , North Ann Street , Mr . W . Woodward in the chair . The secretary read the Address to the People of Ireland from the Star , and -written by W . H . Clifton , which was loudly cheered . Mr . H . Clarke said that Each language as that contained in the address that the secretary had just read -would do honour % o human nature , and was ¦ worthy of being imputed as being the sentiments of a true patriot , and he would , therefore , move that the address be reprinted in the form cf a hand-bill , and jri ^ e it as wide a circulation as they could . Mr . J . Dillon seconded the motion of Mr . Clarke , and said
that if those "were the Bantiments of the supposed liberal candidate putting up for the city of Dublin , he ¦ would , and he was sure the whole of ihe Chartists of Dablin would , give all the support in their power to Srcore the return of Lord M orpetfa ; but he regre : ted that there was not a Repealer proposed to stand , as Repeal is the dailing object as well as the People ' s Charter . ( Tremcndcu 3 cheers . ) The meeting was then further addressed by Messrs . Corbett , P . OConnell , and Freebaim , when , af kt several new members' being admitted , and others given notice for , Mr . J . 2 forten was calied to the chair , and the unanimous thauka of the meeting given to Mr . Woodward for Ms conduct therein . '
Abekdeex . —The usual weekly meeting of the Aberdeen Chart er Union was held on Monday evening last , Mr . M'Pcerson in the chair ; the minutes of the previous meeiing were rea * and confirmed . Tne chairman then addressed them on the various moves that were taking place in the country , and cautioned the meeting never to swerve from Chartism . The . subject of sending a delegat e to the British Convention was brought under notice , when it was agreed-to call a pnblic meeting , and lay the matter before the people-Dr . M'Dju&H ' s letter was read from the Star , amid great
applause . Mr . M'Pherson made a lengthened speech on it , as did the Chairman ; it was then moved that we cordially agree with the objection urged byDr . M-Djuall against the rejection of the National Petition by the Scottish Convention , that Convention not being a fair repTestntation of the ptople of Scotland , inasmuch as several of the votes were fictitious ; it was carried unanimously . It was agreed that Lord Lyndhurst should present a pstition to the Queen on behalf of Frost , "Williams , and Jones . Fifty copies of the People ' s Charter were presented to the Chartiits of Frazerburg , and the meeting broke up .
Dcnfebmline . —If Chartism does not with ns now bl& £ 3 like a meteor , no agitation for less will find any countenance from tbe poorer classes here . To attend the anti-Corn La ^ meeting held inHlinburgh , one of our Dissenting clergy , who has a large congregation , was anxious they should send deputies , but after " well testing tfee opinions of his people , it was given up on the Sunday previous to the anti-Corn Law meeting in Edinburgh- Immediately after the afternoon ' s service , the precentor read out from tbe desk , a meeting of , the managers on business ef importance , to be immediately after the blessing . This being quite a new thing for the secular session to meet on . a Sabbath day for business one of the sapient managers exclaimed , " Bob's gea . n
dean daft , it canna be a meeting o * ns—it will be the elders , but I ' se gang an see . ' A few accordingly met— . the minister harangued them , and how anxious he wa » that hia large congregation should be represented by some of themselves . None for a time broke silence , one at last made the remark they should have met the congregation . Tbe minister shrugged np his shoulders , drew himself to his full length , and said , " This is reasonable , but we have no time for calling a meeting , to what I propose the people will agree , Let Sandy Adams , who has spoken so reasonably , be sent , and Tom Flint , who is to be in Edinburgh on his own business . " The minister wrote this in a book , and the Minister , Sandy , and Tom , were in this way elected , and represented the largest Dissenting congregation of Dury .
Ti-smv—A meeting of the Chartist A&sociahen of Lanark was held in the Masons' Lodge , on Monday , 24 th of January , regarding petitioning parliament for the Charter . Mr . A . Law , president , said , as there were now two petitions in Scotland , it was for them to Bay which they would adopt . Mr . Ingrim said he had read the National Petition over and over again , and he saw nothing that he could fend fault with ; he would , therefore , propose that we hold by the National Fetition , which was duly seconded . Mr . M Williams said be objected to part of it , such as the repeal ef the Union of Ireland and the New Poor Laws being intro- '
dnced into it As he was the only one on that side of the question , ' the motion was carried by a show of hands . Some altercation then took place about Mr . M * Williams going to Glasgow , as a delegate for Kirkfield Bank , he having been elected by only three of that Association , without the knowledge of the rest . Mr . il'WnnaHis said we had ncthing to do with that ; let KirkfieldBank people BetUe that themselves . We contended that not only us , but every Chartist Association in Scotland r ""^ to do with it ; in was an insult to every Chartist to think he must be ruled by such paper-made delegates . Orders were then given to get 200 petition heads and a few sheets , and the meeting dismissed .
Ipswich . —At tha usual weekly meeting of the Association , Vir . Campbdi ' j letter to tbe Chartists of Suffolk , Norfolk , and Cambridgeshire , was read , and after being discussed it was unanimously resolved that the nomination of that gentleman , as a delegate te the Convention be accepted , with thanks to him for filling up the blanks , which ought more properly to have been done by us and the Chartists of the districts generally ; but st the same time , they regret exceedingly their pecuniary affairs will not permit them to reward him for his services . They earnestly appeal to the new eit \ blished Associations in the district to do their best in this matter . What can be done by us Bhall be done . The visit of Dr . M'Douall has dene ns a world of good . We are new arriTing to a more thorouf h knowledge of onr rights , and are perfecting in organization . A good feeling prevadts ns alL We only want now a visi : from O'Connor , to settle Chartism for ever iD Ipswich .

" 2 nd . " That fire shillings be sent for cards / 1 3 rd , and lastly . " That we , the Chartists of Huaalet , place implicit confidence in those individuals who constitute the Executive of the National Charter Association , and that so long as they act with ihat energy and perseverance which has hitherto marked their
condact , we pledge ourselves , to the utmost possible extent to render that talented body ( as far as limited circumstances may permit ) our pecuniary assttince , at the same time we entreat our brother Ccartists throughout the Empire to contribute largely of the one thing needful ibrass ) , both to the Executive and tbe delegates of the forthcoming Convention , so that they may be able to overthrow our tyrannical oppressors , and sink into eternal oblivion the damning effects of clas 3 lagislation . " We have opened a weekly contribu tion for the support of the coming Convention .
Kasiwice-Mi . Doyle visited ns on Friday last , agreeably with his rout « as laid down in the Star The last time he visited us , he lectured in the Market Place , in consequence of it not being in our power to procure a room for him ; and it w&s not until the af rernoon of bis arrival on Friday last , that we were able to procure a place of any description for him to lecture in . The place we obtained was a dilapidated barn , in Wood-street . We had not time to announce the meeting in any other way than by employing the bellman ; and , as he had cried Mr . Djyle ' s farmer lecture , ^ we-again applied to him , wishing bim to announce his lecture , ( as he did his former one , ) upon the present distress existing among the working classes—the cause of that distress—and the remedy—bnt the bellman
told Mr . D . that he had received orders from the authorities not to cry sAy more meetings of that description . This prevented Mr . D . from lecturing on that evening . The next day Mi D . applied twice at the residence of the Rev . R . H . Gretton , ( the resident magistrate , ) for an interview , in order to ascertain from the reverend gentleman hiB reasons for preventing the bellman from crying the lecture . However , tbe holy man would not be seen . Before leaving tbe town for Chester , Mr . D > yle . sent Mr , Qretton a letter upon the subject ,, in which he gave him to understand that there was no law in existence by which be was justified in the strp he had taken , and tfeat his conduct in not allowing the annoucement of the lecture , and then refusing an interview , was not in accordance with that
courtesy generally looked for from persons holding responsible situations such as that which he filled . Af t ~ r receiving the above letter , the rector called upon the agent for the Star , wishing him to inform Mr . Djy : e that it was not owing to a want of courtesy that caused him to refuse the interview , urging his reason in the first place , that he was very busy , and , secondly ,- he did not consider that Mr . Doyle had any right to question him upon the < aubjeet . He acknowledged having tola the bellman after Mt D . ' s first lecture , that he would incur hia displeasure should he ever cry a similar meek ing ; tint he did noi do thi « in hia magisterial capacity ; but it was merely & little of bis legitimate influence which he possessed over bim , and he rather choae to offend Mr . D . than lose his tMr . G . " b ) patron-* p- H * . BDyle returned from Chester on Tuesday the 25 th and determined
, on leetaaring in the building above-mentioned ; and , as tbe bellman was net allowed to cry S » meeting , one of our friends ( Mr . J . Bayley ) Tolnntsered ids services for the occasion . He went ormd with a feeil , accompanied by great numbers of youngsters , and a group of young men . who were attracted by the novelty of the case . " Considering the inclement state of the weather , the meeting was very veil attended , the large building was fitted , and a considerable number were fcrcad to stand outside . Mr . Dayles * lecture occupied about two hours , and was delivered ia the most spirited and powerful strain ,, -which gave general satisfaction . In short , he is deserving of the highest praise for bis exertions here , aad the people are giving expression to their conviction of the truth and propriety of the ¦ whole , and making inquiries respeetinghis next visit .

MACCLESFIELD . —A Delegate meeting was field in Maeclesfield , on Sunday last Delegates were present from Stockport , New Mills , Mottraa , Wilmslow , Haz-lgrove , and Macclesfleld . Letters were read from Chester , and Nantwich . All places were represented as being in % prosperous condition , and extremely anxious for lecturers . Mr . Doyle ' s engagement having expired , it was deemed expedient to discontinue his fervices until after the Convention . The delegates in their reportB spoke feelingly of the great distress that prevails in the country , and of tbe great good done by Mr .
Doyle , in directing their attention to the real cause that had produced this distress , and its only practical remedy A motion was made by Mr . Mason , of New Mills , seconded by Mr . Con way , Stockport , " That an address be prepan-d to the county , impressing upon the different associations , the necessity of immediately forwarding their quota , to the Convention fund . " A vote of thanks to Mr . D > yle , for his valuable services as county lecturer for the last three months was unanimously agreed to , and the meeting was adjourned to Sunday February 28 th , when all places are requested to bring or send their monej for the Convention Fund , without fail .
SKEGBY , ( NEAR SUTTON-IN-ASHFIELD . ) A meeting was held here , on Sunday evening , for the purpose of dissolving the old council and choosing a fresh one , when th 6 following men were chosen far the next quarter : —John Harriot , Michael Johnson , John Dan , Robert Chalenor , William Caunt , John Hardstaff , sub-treasurer ; George Didsbury , sub-secretary . Chartism was unknown here exeept to a few bright spirits , who resolved that the good old cause should be understood and appreciated . Accordingly , Mr . Taylor was invited to attend & meeting , which at once be agreed to , after which an association was formed , and we are happy to to Bay that new members are coming forward every week , and it is expected that very soon the associated number will amount to fifty . It was proposed by Michael Johnson , that , one shilling be sent oui of the fund , sixpence each to the Whig-made widows , Mrs . Williams and Mrs . Jones .
EDINBURGH . Bronteree O'Brien . —We have at last been favoured with a visit from that prince of patriots and illustrious friend of his kind , James B O'Brien . We were anxiously expecting him for the last two months , and high as were our expectjtions of the good to result from his presence amongst us , they fell far Bhoit of the reality . He lectured in Arthurstrett chapel upon the evenings of Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday last , to large audiences , tbe place of meeting being crowded each successive evening more than on the one preceeding . The last night it was literally crammed , passages and alL Mr . O'Brien entered at great length upon his views as to the evi s of the present system , and the reforms best calculated to remove them , and made the soundness of his doctrines so
manifest , that while he confirmed the faith of bis old disciples , he made many hundred new ones . Discussion baving been invitftd after the conclusion of the third lecture , J . Aytoun , Esq ., barrister , who formerly contested the representation of the city , upon the Whig Radical interest , rose to dispute tha soundness of Mr . O'R ' b views . After eulogising the abilities and surpassing eloquence of Mr . O'Brien , ( whom he characterised as being by far the ablest man connected with the movement , ) Mr . Aytoun professed himself friendly to Universal Suffrage , but differed from Mr . O'Brien as to the use to be made of the Charter after it shall have been obtained . The nature of his objections may be inferred from the fact that he is a landed proprietor , a coal-owner , a lawyer , and a rabid anti-Corn Law repealer , classes to whom Mr . O'Brien ' s doctrines are in general anything but palatable . He inveighed , as usual , against the " spoliation and robbery" ( as he called it ) involved in Mr . O'Brien ' s
doctrines ; and plainly told the audience that a repeal of the Corn Laws , and perhaps ( some fifty years hence ) some reduction of the taxes , was all we had to expect from the Charter 1 Mr . O'Brien replied to . him in his usual convincing and happy manner , and shewed the utter absurdity of his positions , amidst the most thundering applause . At the conclusion , a show of hands was called for . Every hand was held up for tbe soundness of Mr . O Brien's views , not a solitary one for Mr . Aytoun , who , by the way , seemed so paralysed at the array against him , that he absolutely forgot to raise his own ! The intense interest felt by the audience may be inferred from the fact that though the lecture was continued till after one o ' clock in the morniilg , not a single soul left the place of meeting ! Thanks were veted to Mr . O'Brien for his able lectures amidst deafening applause , and notice given that a soiree is to be held in honour of that gentleman npon his return from the North ,
ST . ANDREW'S . —The Corn Law Humbug — We were rather surprised to hear on Tuesday , tke 25 th ultimo , that the seven Incorporated Trades of this city were to have a meeting of their own that evening in the Town-hall , for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn Laws . The meeting was to all intents and purposes an exclusive one , each trade being warned by its own officer , without the slightest publio intimation being given ; thinking there would likely be some sport at the meeting we determined to attend ; before giving a report of the proceedings , we beg to express our most unqualified disapprobation of such meeting being called . The Corn Laws do not ¦ affoct the Beven trades of St Andrew ' s as such , but only in the character of inhabitants . It is a public
question , affecting the interests of the whole people ; therefore , to call a packed meeting of the incorporated trades of St . Andrew's to discuss such a question was to say the least of it , a piece of unwarrantable presumption on the part of the Convener . The Town house bell vras rung at seven o ' clock- On entering , we found a bar placed across the room , the gentlemen (?) being only admitted inside . whilethe unwashed were considered as too ignorant to give any opinions in reference to this pour man ' s qnestionl and were , therefore , obliged to stand on the outside of the rail . There were net above fifty of the trades present ; a great many even of the liberals among them hanging back from taking part ia so disreputable a proceeding . The audience was , however , very numerous . After waiting a considerable
time without anything being done , the people began to manifest their impatience by ruffing ; upon which Convene r Gillespie rose , and in one of tbe most meaningless , senseless , and contemptible speeches we ever heard , proposed a petition to Parliament , praying for a total repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws . He spoke about every thing but tbe point Non intrusion , Chartism , ministerial indifference about tbe people , Muir , Murray , a " spunk wife , "&c , were each hononred with a notice from the learned Convener . He was heard very quietly till he appealed to the Chartists to come forward and assist them , when a storm of hissing and other marks of disapprobation was raised by the audi-. ence , which caused many of the gentlemen within to look " unco blue i * the gills , " and set the Convener in
a rage ; after attempting to speak a while longer , without any person understanding what he was saying , he sat down by proposing the adoption of a petition , and calling npon Bailie Cowan to support the motion , and give the people present some information regarding the proceedings of tbe late clerical exhibition in Edinbro . ' Bailie Cowan said , that he would abstain from referring to that point at present He lauded tbe eloquence of the Convener , which was received with laughter by the audience . With a good many of the Bailie ' s remarks we cordially agreed . He gave the people one advice , which we are sure will be followed to the letter , namely , to take the matter into their own bauds , and do not be gulled by any person . We can assure the worthy Bailie we will not be gulled , neither by Whigs ,
Tories , nor corn craiks . With hia remarks on the Emigration Scheme we also cordially agree ; but from bis nostrums regarding Corn Law repeal we entirely dissent . ( Daring the whole of the time both the Convener and the Baillie was speaking , cries of " the Charter * —" Down with class legislation "—" Reform yourselves at home , " &c , Uc , were kept up by the audience . ) One of the clerks then read a cepy of tbe petition , upon which Jlr . George Berwick , wrighfc , moved the following amendment : — " That while we consider tbe Corn Laws to be prejudicial to industry , injurious to commerce , and opposed to the best interests of the people , still we hold it to be a public quest ion , and therefore adjourn till a pnblic meeting of tbe inhabitants be called by public intimation , for the
purpose of discussing tho best means of obtaining a repeal of these tyrannical and unjust laws . " The reading of this amendment was followed by ioud and continued cheering , clapping of bands , ruffing , dec , by the audience , which so enraged the gettera-up of the meeting that they threatened to turn the audience to tbe door . Mr . Robert Dishart then made a speech which considerably amused tbe audience . He said something about a Prussian Gazette and a London Gazette , and other high-sounding phrases , no doubt trying to pass for a very learned man . He talked of the folly ef putting off the consideration of so important a question , as if any person was asking them to put it off J All that was wanted was a pnblic meeting ; and that might have been called next night , or even their own meeting might have been turned into a pnblic one ; but no ! keep down discussion ; swallow our nostrum ! or
nothing ; bat we are too old them . The Convener then put the motion and amendment , when only three voted for the latter . Consistent men , verily . Talking about . the poor mau ' a inter est , and yet preventing the poor man from interfering in the matter . Upon the Convener declaring the business over , Mr . Charles Stewart , junior , printer , stood up » n a form , and proposed that " As the meeting of the trades was now over , a public meeting of the inhabitants should beheld , and that Mr . Berwick should take the chair , " which waa seconded by at least a doz invoices at once , and received with acclamation . Bailie Cowan , however , ordered the Boll to be cleared , and tha people separated rather reluctantly , by giving three enthusiastic cheers for the People ' s Caarter , and three hearty groans for the humbuggers and their humbugs . We understand a public meeting is to be held on the same subject If they dare , we will be at Uiem .- Co .-rapjntenL

cannot be explained away b y any of the subtleties of the sophist , nor overcome by any assumed dignity derived lrom a false philosophy . We therefore say to those who suffering from ill health , from , whatever cause ; to those who are approachiug what is now called old age ; to those who are sinking from premature decay , make trial of Parr ' s remedy , which has never yet failed , —which is as certain to cure as the , 6 un is to rise , —which from the innocence of its composition can never injure ; to each and all we again say thy , and you will soon look upon Old Parr not merely as a curiosity , on account of bis great age , but as a benefactor of the human race , in leaving this invaluable remedy to the world .

His Bon , instead of featB of this rough character , turned his attention to horsemanship , a line of performance in which he was , perhaps , never equalled . The late Ducrow was twice married , first to a Miss Griffith , of Liverpool , and about four years ago toaMiss Woolford , a well-known performer at Astley ' s Amphitheatre . Mr . Ducrow was in hia 54 thyear , and is said to have left a fortune Cents
