C */ Tentlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , * t U your earliest convenience * tho same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last seat . whfle-Jt am writing I cannot refrain from oommuiiicatjng tbe flattering intelligence of the great good your pills ajre doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood , ftis clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public health . The faot is , however , predjudicei& . fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .

there was no other chance of either relief or cure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , 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 nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard ofthe great fame of Parr ' s Life Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and I have now taken twelve boxes , and to my great joy

OAD . —At the weekly meeting of members on Monday evening , a deputation vas received from tbe Metropolitan Delegate Meeting , wha impressed on the meeting the necessity a : d importance of all uniting and co-operating together to carry ont the plan for the Organization of the metropolis , and sending delegates to the Conference . It -was agreed to takeitbe question into consideration on Monday evening next ^ and to summon { he members especially for tbat pnrpose . Watpobd . —The second annual Chartist excursion to this pleasant to-srn , took place on Monday last . About nine o ' clock , upwards of four hundred persons , of both sexes , left the Marylebone Chartist station , in vans , omnibusses , gigs , landaus , &c , gaily decorated
-with Chartist banners and devices . The day -was lovely in the extreme . Tbe -various towns and villages on the road poured forth their-population to view the sight , &nd greet the Chartists . Large quantities of tracts , Northern Stars , Circulars , it , -were distributed , and eagerly Bought after by tbe agricultural popnlation , and the greatest good feeling seemed to exist , not only to-wards the individuals , but likewise towards tbe principles . About two miles ont of Watford , the procession-web met by two excellent brass bands , and then proceeded through the town playing the " Marselloue Hymn , " and other democratic sirs . A large pavillion had been erected at the Wheat Sheaf Inn , and ample accommodation provided by the -werthy i host for bis nnHierens guests . Tbe gardens and grounds -were
thrown open to the public , and dancing , and other innocent amusements , wiled away the summer day . The only drawback on the pleasures of the day , was the presence of a body of the Metropolitan police , many of -whom -were in disguise . It had been contemplated to hold a public meeting on the occasion : hut Tyranny threatened to suspend tho landlord ' s lictnss if it -was allowed on Mb premises ; and Watford Fields , -where the last meeting -was held , being Lammas laud , -was not yet denuded of grass . For this and other reasons no public meeting -was holden , ' much to tbe disappsintment of many of the inhabitants . They \ rere , ho-wever , conBoled by the promise of la -risit from Feugus O'Connor , Esq . at an early period . Tfee visitors
met -with the greatest courtesy from the inhabitants , -which shewB the silent progress of our principles . On the occasion of the previous visit , during the late Strike , the greatest alarm-was manifested at the Chartist eruption , which certainly w& 3 more formidable than th < j present in numbers ; many of the shops -were closed , and the greatest ignorance upon the real objects of Chartism prevailed . Now the very reverse -was manifested ; and instead of the magistrates placing a « orps of 500 policemen in ambush , twelve -were thought sufficient to preserve the peace . Another visit will shew that these also may be dispensed with- The procession arrived safe in the metropolis about twelve o ' clock , without asingle accident having occurred .

pert , commenting upon tbe BUI now before Parliament , and contrasted the fact of their being compelled to spend a certain portion of their earnings with the publican with th 8 exertions » f Father Mathew , of whom he spoke in high terms of praise , and showed bow gratify , ing Jtsnut be to the Irish Catholics to see him received by the . English as an Apostle . He then dwelt upon the evils of Mother Church , and stated the fact of bis being compelled many years ago tft banish himself frem his country on account ef his opposition to tithes , shewing that no chance of justice could be exp&cted from our present rulers . In reference to Chnrch Property , Stanley , Russell ,. and Go . would never vote against the Chnrch ; because those laymen had much / to lose of that description of property . He then showed that no hope
of juBtica to England or Repeal far Ireland could be expected from jthe Whigs . The Tories , too , had changed their'tactics , seeing that both nations were determined upon Repeal . They said it was better to leave them alo&ej and the candle wenld burn itself oat —( lsaghter and sneers ) . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt npon the Xandlln connection with the Charter , and showed the superiority of the agriculturist over the manufacturing : labourer . The £ 20 , 000 , 000 granted to black slave owners , if applied to the land , would have purchased one million acres of freehold land for ever . Who could conceive of the benefit of such a purchase , -when contrasted with the use to which the money was applied ? H » then dwelt on tbe question of machinery , showing that under pioper axxangements it would be
a benefit inteadjof a curse to the working man . Tbe present rise in the price of bread , when corn was falling , showed how small a quantum cf sympathy the consumer received from middle class men and " free traders . " What ^ lid they think of the conduct of Earl Roden , tbe modem spiritual Quixote ? Tbe poor -were ejected fron ? their holdings because they would not vote for their landlords ; this proved that land conferred the franchise , and shewed the necessity of their obtaining possession ' of a portion of it . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt npon the falling offof last quarter ' s Revenue , and upon the asser . tfun cf Father Mafchew , tbat next quarter 'would be WDrse . It showed the melancholy fact that the revenue depended npon tbe dissipation of the people . Mr .
O'Connor then remarked on the precarious state of the Welsh provinces . He had received letters from that qnarter , -wherein the Chartists pledged themselves to have nothing to do with the " Rebecca" riots . His prediction in reference to Peel ' B tariff , was fully justified . That day ' s Times had shown that tbe Welsh farmers were forming unions for tbe reduction of their rents . The policy of the Chartist body consisted in keeping aloof from all minor agitations . The only party they could consistently join with was the Repealers of tbe Union . iMr . O'Connor coocluded amid much applause , an address of upwards of two hours duration , by apologising for Mr . Roberta , the Chartist Attorney-G-eueral , who was on tbe platform , not addressing them . .
Mr . FiuzERmoved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Spencer , and carried unanimously : — " That this meeting returns its unfeigned thanks to that unflinching Mend of humanity , FeaTgus O'Connor , Esq ., for his gratuitous services to the working classes witbont reference to creed or country ; and who , while political trncksters have bartered their ephemeral popularity for wealth and station , has devoted bis wellearned and lasting fame to its only legitimate purpose , namely , the benefit of those from whom be received it , the people . And this meeting fully concurring in the sentiments bo dearly developed and so eloquently enforced by that gentleman , are firmly of opinion that
tbe interests , of the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland are identical , and tbat unanimity can only protect and defend those interests , do pledge ourselves individually and collectively to throw every facility in the way of procuring that measure of justice for our Irish brethren , a repeal of the Legislative Union ; at the same time never loosing sight of the People's Charter &s the only measure that will procure for tbe people of both countries lasting happiness by giving them a legitimate contjroul over their own affiirs . In conclusion , this meeting pledges itself never to place confidence in any political reformer who will propose or support any measure of representative reform In any way short of that document "
A vote of thanks was given to tbe Chairman , and the meeting dispersed highly gratified .
