LETTER FROM MR , WVHICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS . . "Norihern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . ^ n ENTLEMEN , —You will oblige 'by forward- ' IX ing , at your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LlFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing , I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence of the great good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more espeoiaJly Bince it 3 use has contributed so largely to the public health . The fact is , however , prejudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirTn and illubtiate what I have asserted . "A young female came into the shop to-day for a box , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad that no one could hear her speak ; but having taken a ffllfuboxes of Parr ' s Life Pills , she was com--pletely restored , aa was evident by the way she Bpoke ., ' ; : . ; . . ' . . ' ¦'¦ ' . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' J ' ¦ " Very many cases of extraordinary cures have occurred among the aged work-people , both male and female . In one mill , an old pair , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature ; old age , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and in a w ^ ek were so restored and strengthened that they could pursue their -employment with pleasure and profit ; so much &o , that from being usable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now not only do a full week ' s work , but overhours besides . Bad as trade i ' b here , tho old people being favourites with the mill owner , are enabled to get as much employmont as they can do , which has excited the envy of those younger persons who had been employed in their absence ; and it is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share , of their rancour . The old people continue to take the pills . ' regularly in emailquantities , and find them as necessary to their health aud prosperity as their daily food . . ' ; tl The noxt and last'Wie which I shall mention at this timej is one of a ni < &st extraordinary nature . I have not Been the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his ; employer , and from Mr . J . Hobson , wha has frequently seen him since hi 3 convalescence . The man is a working meohanic and had spent about thirty pounds last year on tho doctor , in going to the Isle of Man andotber places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purpose . His food had consisted for a long time of ' nothing but ' - ' rice milk , the stomach refusing to'take anything stronger . His body was greatly etnaciattid , and his temporal . - ' prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with melancnoly forbodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder wouV-i have its periodical return ; but boing advised to try Pirr ' s Life Pills , he bought a few boxes , which have completely removed his disease , ami enab-lad him to return to his work , whero ho vras seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobsoh , ( it bein ^ dinner-hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom ho recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , togetlier witli a Ion " history of his past affliction . "Should the above three cases of cures be considered worthy of your notice you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully . "WILLIAM HICK . is Mes 3 rs . T . Roberts and . Co ., 9 , Crane Court , Fleet-street , London . , ¦ Tn e i ' ollovving letter affords another convincing proof of the almost miraculous power of the farfamed temedy of Old Parr . To the Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS . Gentlemen , — -I have the utmost - .. pleasure " in- forwarding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the porsovering use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of' fivji years afflicted with a distressing malady , which the difforeut eminent medical men who attended me all pronuaced to be a serious case of hydrocele ( or dropsy , of the scrotum ) , and declared thero was nootherchtince of either relief or euro than undergoing a surejeal operation . I was thus driven to despai r , and consulted- '' ihe treatise writtenby Sir Astloy Cqoper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable danger : I . therefore , determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to n ' atura-aud Providence . Fortunately , I heard of tho '^ ceai fa ; ne of PARR ' S LIFE PILLS , and resolved to p , ive them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept perseveriug ; and I have now taken twelve boxes , and to iny treat joy , lam perfectly well ; thp . dropsy--is entirely removed , together with a scorbutid affection , which I had been much troubled with since my return from India in 1827 ; and now there is not n , vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in bowor health and -spirits than I have be ^ n for . 'fourteen yeara . I feel .- ' certain you would have accounts of far more cures , if people would pmevere m the use of the pills a proper length of tirne , as I have done . I give you my heartfelt tliankB , and authority to pubiish this letter , and will glaoly aaswer any applications , either personally or by letter , and remain your grateful and obliged servant , ( Signed ) W , M 0 AT . 3 , Cobbett-street v Shaws brpw , ; Salford .

MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OB SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEDMATISU , AMD NERVOUS OH SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . M > WILKINSON , . ¦; ; : SURGEON , &o . V 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Opposite East Brook Chapel , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies ^ for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of ¦ VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the mornine till ten at night , and on . Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , b y making only one personal visit , will receive such advice ana medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed In recent oases of a certain disorder a perfect curs 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 frequently happens thatin moments of thought-Ies 3 ness a person imbibes a disease where sngpicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of seouritj leads to a want of caution which aggravates tha nature of the complain t .- But where immediate application is made , the corroding poison is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its vehom can effect a perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more clause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appeal * ance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough core must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and . treat " ment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , oas only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instrdctiox ; for , unfortunately , there are hundredd who annually fall victims to . the ignorant use of Mercury and other daugerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by _ suffering disease to get into the systen * which being carried by the circulation of the blow into all parta of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the ski * particularly the head and face , with eruptions am ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scuryj , at another period producing the most violent paua in the liaubs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; tSms the whole frame becomsa debilitated and decayed , aud a lingering death puU a period to their dreadful sufferings . What a grief for a young person in the very prim of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all tbJ enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at fir $ and which never proves fatal if properly treated , U al 1 its fatal results are owing either to neglebt of ignorance .

E of the man of ihe people ' s choice , and ihus Trip- ? away the deep stain of corruption , immorality , and crime now charged upon their bort ugh , ami thereby top the death knell of Toryism ; destroy cJass legislation by setting a lasting example to ail otter constituencies of honesty , integrity , and patriotism , by the faithful exercise of their elective franchise . " Mr . H . Sarsmels , tailor , seconded the motion , an * it ivas carrud unanimously , and ordered to be forwarded to JfovirghaHi . Thus ended the most orderly , pc-ice-able , and quiet meeting .

KEWCASTItE . — "Mr . Cockburn delivered a lecture on tha csusss of the prevailing ignorance , an < i the be * t mod ? of educating the people , in the Chartist ' s Hall , Goth Market , on Tuesday evening , the 7 th instant . About half-past eight o ' cl&ck , Mr . Cockburn , accompanied by a few friends , entered the hall , and was cheered enthufciastjcaliy ; as scon as the cheering cad subsided , Sir . C . commenced nesrly as follows .- —Ladies and GeritieiDcii—It is the common practice of lecturers , previous to entering on such sue jects as that to ¦ which I Triih to call your attention on this occasion , to make a Ions apology , sayinz that vrhich they c 5 o not believe themselves , aod whic ' would give great umbrage if advanced by others . The on ' y apology I see requisite is , that in cons'qnerce of the ra-st Eature and extent of
this subject , I bsi unable , in one lecture , to do ii that justice which I trculJ wi _ I shpll , therefore , without farther introduction , Et ^ te . the following three causes , which , iu ray opinion , t ; sd meat to pre 7 tsit the sprs-. d of kcowJrdge , and to Trhieh , as a matter of course , the great amouat of the prtvauicij ignorance amongst the people must be principally attributed . They are first , excessive toil ; second , poverty ; and third , ths preposterous raeana taken by tae instructors of the people fb ioipait knowledge . To tb . « 5 mi § at be added Busberhs 8 other causes , proceeding eenrrally from those above mtntiocad , to the examination asd proof of which I am to call year attention this evsn-Ing . It will require litwo , oa my part , to prove that the iabooriite classes of this country have " to . work
harder for that porti « n of the necessaries of life they TScsiYs thin bav& the rabourJng classes of cny other nation in the civilized world . Nor is thu excessive toil alone eoa&ced to tba , men whose frames have beea . fomedLy kiture to uidure a certain amour . * of fatigue , and to la&onr for-fcit which is ic-eestary to support fhemseTsss , thsii "wives , and f AniiKes ; but the tvorslnpers of reaninion prs not ' eatisHed with this . " Although the raaica may labour for twelve , fourteen , er slxVr&a hours a day , yet this will not satisfy their insatiable thirstfi > i . wealth ; they insist have fcuiaiea and childrea to work to an extent beyond thtir strvEgth , to per / orm species of labour for r ? bJch th ^ y nevtr were dssi ^ ufed . N = ed I instance the lalxmr they hav e to pcrf- ^ rm in minuiiou ' a pi- ' . ace , ? c-t ; tr kn-. wn by the

I have drawn till the skin has besn t-ff me , - &c I might go on-for hours detailing cases of similar tyranny , but it is not my intent'on to harrow up your fteiicgs with such statemerits , it is sufficient for ma to prove that excessive toil exists , and upon teat aul-jict I hops 1 have sttlsiits . o every unprejudiced mint ] , ie : me now ask y ^ u i ? heUiei such exertions as the ' working clssses h&ve to make tc

a wrong channel , the people sbould therefore , as far as they are able , become tha instructors of their own children ; and to accomplish which I will now state my opinions on domestic eSucaVioa . I hava before ssat-d that coercion is now generally used , instead of which I ¦ would substitute affection , and by blending education with amusement , make it both agreeable and instructive . Thus the children "will receive the rudiments ef education . It would grow with him , and thus a thirst for knowledge would be created , which might eventually enable the people to comprehend the cause of , and overthrow tyranny . I have advised several families to adopt the following simple manner , which , ¦ wherever it has been carried out , has been more successful than my most sanguine anticipations . Get the whole of the twenty-MX letters of the alphabet printed on an equal number of large cords , hanging them around the housa in common with other articles of
honsehold furniture , and constantly exposed , to the child ' s-view . Let me ask , bow Ions ; do ycur children require to learn the names of table , chair , bed , stool , &c . ? Could they not learn tha diSVjence between the character of tha letters thus placed -with the same facility as thf y . would the articles of furniture and receive the first part of their education- in this "Way imperceptably , and without being tasked ? Could they not then be taught to exprtss many of their little wants by a combination of those letters ( formirg words ) , and thus education would steal involuntarily upon the youthful mind , and make it a pleasure instead of a pain ? Mr . C . then impressed upon his audience the propriety of parents attempting domestic education , and after
entering at great length into the modes generally adopted in teaching ariihtKetic . geography , and tha minor branches of e lucarion , -which be tried to simplify to suit the capacity of children ia their earliest years , concluded by exhort . ng them to unite for the purpose of procuring those rights to which they were entitled by birth a 3 Britons . By so doing , tha powers that be ( which a : e not rot of God ) cou ! d no iongor rob them of their birthrights . They themselves are ashamed of their actions ; they durst not test their deeds of darkness , having plainly shown by thau- conduct at the presentation cf the National Petition , that they have not a sufficiency ef faith in their conduct to bring it in contact with the truth and justice of the peoples claims .

Surely men of true piety shrunk for very shama-when they read it For his part ho could not help thinking of the Pharisee and the Publican , when he read it in tae newspapers . The Lord Mayor has said ever and over again , that our Association ia unlawful , and when the Whigs ( his friends ) were ia power he was not ashamed to point cut the Association and itsmoBt active members to the tender mercies of the Whig Attorney General—( bear , heav > .

Well , here we are , after all , hearty and merry , our numbers increasing every day ; the people learning who and ¦ what we are , and what our views , objects , and institutions are , which shows that tha hand of Divine Providence is always with those who have truth and justice on their side ; and the name and proceedings of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association and its services to the country will bs recorded in history , and revered by tfee people , when the real character of the betrayer and destroyer of the forty shilling freeholders , aad the supporter of the base , bloody , and brutal authors of the Coercion Act , and tbe Poor Laws Amendment Act , will b 9 remembered only to be abhorred and detested .
Mr . O Higgins said he had the pleasure of proposing two friends of hla for admission , Messrs . Ford and Leeson . And as he eaw several strangers in tho room he would take that opportunity of explaining the objects , views , and intentions of the association—( hear , hear ) . B 3 fore he would do so he begged leave to state , for ths satisfaction of the society , that during his absence for the last fortnight , he had visited several parts of the country where Chartism was as wall understood as it was in that room hear , heavi—while in other places prejudice prevailed against it to aucb an extent , that , bad as tbo times are , he verily believed that people would have paid sixpence to see what sort of an animal a Chartist was —( hear , hear ) . It ia , no doubt , in the recollection of most of %
those present , that Mr . 0 ConnelI had some time ago s ? iven a very ludicrous nescription of the colour of a Chartist ' 8 face , and of the length of his ears , and the danger of coming in contact ¦ with him . Tne Repeal Wardens , or more property speaking the collectors of money , under tbe pretence of applying it to Repeal the Union , but for the real purpose of maintaining a staff of hungry place-hunters at the Corn Exchange , who have no visible or known mode of living than that , of professing patriotism for a farthing a week , receive thbir weekly instructions from " drar Kay" to ba on their ^ uard lest Chartism should rear its hideous head within the precincts of their respective jurisdiction *? . S-j ranch -had been said and sang against the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , and agiunst its
president niore especially , that when it became known in a certain town , not quite fifty miles from Dublin , that he ( Mr . O'Histsms ) was at the hotel there , several persons solicit-d it as a . special favour to be poi-niitted to see what Eort rf an animal be ( Mr . O"Hi ££ rins ) whs . ( Laughter . ) Finding that he was not ha f so black or so ugly , as he -was painted ; they ventured to asb him some questions about the Asaociatisn ; and , on hearing the principles explained , and reading that admirable little publication , " What is a Chartist ?" they very naturally ask-irt him why it was Mr . O'Connell was so much opposed to that which appeared to them to be so good ? To this qu-stion lie ( Mr . O'Higgins ) could give no other answer than this , thut when the Whigs were in power , Mr . O'Connell lost
his election for the city of Dublin , beetusa he would not give a pledge in writing , " that ha would support no administration but one that would give its tffieir . l advocacy to Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Eq ' . al Electoral DLstr ; cts , tho abolition of the Property Qualification ,-&ud tho ilnht of tha electors to pay th » -ir representlves . " He refused to give this pledge , and lost Dublin by the refusa . Several aaked -why ha would rtjfuse that ? " was it uot the real thingt Sure every hones ; mm must be for that . " He refused it , because the Whks , who qav « good fat places to his sons-in-law , ami his sou and his nephews were against it ; and he could not well «•> against those who h : id done eo much for him nad hit ) At this stage of the conversation , a R . jyeal Warden of the name of Smith cime forward , and said it was all filse . But although be was a to * nim : in , truth is
so powerful that his ow- ; ntighboura lurneil upon him , auii told him he was a deceiver and a cheat , that he promise ! the Rspoal last year , if they would bat piy n shilling en . cb . They paid tbe money ; but tiie Repeal ia not a bit fnriiier forward . " To get the riijht t : i Tote first is tha Jtjal thing—we are all for that ; aud with the blessing of God , we will join you . " The next day , some of the rulsa and objects of our association wtro taken to thepirisli priest , who at once and unhesitatingly c ' . sclarcd bis approval of them —( hesir , hear , and great chvuwg . ) Mr .
