TO THE READERS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . rpiIE Readers of thia Newspaper will have seen J . advertised every week for a long period an account of the benefits arising from taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS . These accounts , from their undoubted truth , and the recommendations of parties who have tried the Medicine , have produced a very large sale , consequent on such recommendations . For the sake of unlawful gain , unprincipled parties hav * attempted various imitations , dangerous and disreputable ; and , in order to prevent disappoint ' ment , and guard against these impostors , it is seriously and particularly requested that yoa will , on purchasing the Medicine , carefully examine the Government Stamp , and be sure it has the words "Parr ' s Life Pius , " in white letters , on a red ground engraved thereon , without which it is an IMPOSITION . OLD PARR ! Life ia not life , unlesss 'tis blessed with health , Tho' rich in fame and unincumbered wealth , Tbo' under sunny sky or frigid polar star , Life without health is nought—then hail to thee old p arr ! What mighty treasures are by thee revealed , More than Peruvians mines can ever yield ! Not rich Golconda ' s glittering diamond rare Can purchase health , —then hail to thee old pabr 1 'Twas thy high purpose to make known to man , The power to lengthen oat on earth , his little spaa Of lite , —which erst was woe and care , But now is bright with joy , thro' thee old p arb ! Thousands late racked with agonising pain , Now feel new vigour thrill thro' every vein ! Disease bo longer shall their pleasures mar ; They bless the day they heard of thee old parr ! Hail glorious boon 1 hail gift benign ! Go forth from polo to pole , to every clime , Let every land , both near and far , Possess the blessing left by thee old p arb ! * 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 .

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Prout , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 ^ 1841 . SIR , —I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills have been of the greatest service to me . Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Sciatica ; the agonising paia which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a period , baffles any description which I can possibly give of my then miserable state . I could seldom obtain either rest orsleep . I had the best medical advice , including that of two physicians in London , without obtainiad any essential relief . I went to Margate , and had the best medical advice , trying the warm bath there and at other places , without obtaining any benefit . A short time ago I was recommended to try Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills ; and was thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medioine of Messrs . Hammond and Co ., chemists , of this town , and before I had taken the quantity therein contained , I was entirely free from pain , and speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills , and happily there has been no return of this distressing malady . You are at liberty to publish my case , in the hope thereby that this excellent medioine may be the means of relieving others . I am , Sir , your ' s respectfully , J . B . MISKIN , Brewer and maltster , Dartford , Kent . P . S . —If I could possibly speak in stronger terms of your invaluable medicine , I should be most happy , for it , is impossible for language to desoribe the relief I have experienced . The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT aud RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give relief in a few hours , where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism , either chronic or acute , lumbago , sciatica , pains in the head or face , and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact , suoh has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and complete safety of this medioine , that it has astonished all who have taken it , and there is not a city , town , or village in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evidences of the benign influence of this medioine .

PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BT EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS * THE SILENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and ' Syphilitio Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , shewing 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 oa the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , 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 sym : pathies anddangerous consequenoes 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 Specific Fills , ( Prioe 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacam ( Prioe 11 s . 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 , Prioe 2 s . Sd ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . 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 sexea , 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 reoent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early 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 use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialised ont of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected ot improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness ef 'Uterate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place ^ it is not like manj other visitors , once in life , but , on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in suoh a manner as not merely t » remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period .

"
CUT HERO , —The Chartists held their weekly meeting on Wednesday evening , the 6 th inat , at the Temperacc * HoteL Mr . Whjttam was called to the chair , and after introducing the object of the meeting , he called on Mr . Johnson to move the first resolution : " Thas this meeting views with alarm the distress bow prevailing in society , and is of opinion that nothing short of a voice in the representation of the country , can raise the producers of all wealth to that state in society thty ought to occupy . " ill . Johnson said he had great pleasure in moving the resolution , for nothing short of Uciversal Suffrage in the very nature of things , would btcefit the working man , and raise him from that thraldom in which the people of" this country are now heU by those who have the exclusive power to
make laws . Mr . Whittaker seconded the resolution ; Mr . iliiTMler . was called to support it . He entered verj minute ;? : nto the principles of the People ' s Charter , stowing tht-tcessity for the adoption » f its principles , before the ircn grasp of injustice would let go its hold . He wect back to the time when the people of this coonfary enjoyed the piivileges we now contend for ; and Showed how many legislative acts of Parliament it took to ratify Magna Charta , in order to keep the monarch from cruJiing the people ; te then entered into the objections brought against the Charter , not only by the higher an >« middle classes , bnt by some working men . Same say there is not sufficient education—some say th « y are too ignorant , and others Bay it would produce anarchy and bloodshed . All those charges he rebutted
in a masterly manner , and laid bare the sophistry ol those who laid them np * n the shoulders of the -working men , and concluded by maintaining that if the rights of the ptopie be much longer withheld , they wonld be justified in resorting to any means for their attainment Mr . Marsden was loudly cheered during his addiess . The resolution was put from the chair and carried unanimously . Mr . I > ewhurst was called to move the second resolution : — " That this meeting is of opinion that until every man of twenty-one years of age of sane Blind and untainted by crime , have a voice in sending members of Parliament , justice in legislation will Rever be granted them . " The resolution being seconded , Was adopted unanimously . Mr . Pinder was called to move the third resolution , " That this meeting pledges
itself to use every lawful means until the principles of universal liberty be firmly established as the laws oi the British nation . " He said he should not trespass on the time of the meeting , as there was a gentleman waiting to support the resolution , who was far more able to enter into the subject than he was , but he said in his opinion there was one law which had done more injury to this country than any otter , and' he thought from it had sprung almost all other bad laws ;—he referred to the law of primogeniture . This law monopolised the emoluments of that treble-beaded monster , the church , the law , and army , which pensioned the two , three , four , and so on , sons of the aristocracy , on the industry of the people , which sooner or later , if not removed , would ruin this country or anj other .

BARTXiTPOOXt . —A public meeting of the Chart- \ lets of this place was held on Monday evening , for the purpose of propagating the cause of Chartism ; the jajeV-r . g was weil attended , by a very attentive and « stb -..- 'istic audience , who all seemed anxious to take a part in the great struggle for universal freedom . The cause seems to be going on well her * ; the room where We use ro meet at , has become too small to accommodate ^ ttrmVinbers , and we have taken « ne large enough to ifieoauaodate see persons . The public meeting alluded I * was got up to celebrate its opening , Mr . Qoine was wanimously called to the chair . He opened the busito
B 6 ssby stating that the object of the meeting was promote the cauae of universal justice . Though they bad no speakers of their own , that deficiency was made mp by the kindness of their Stockton and Middlesbro ' friends , who bad seat delegates to assist them on that occasion . He hoped they would be all attentive and silent and , if any one had any questions to put to any « f the speakers he would pledge himself that they Would be treated with every mark of respect , and sjuwered to their satisfaction . He would not detain fbcm long but called upon Mr . Holinshead to address the meeting , who did so in a very masterly style . He ¦ uuBeoced by stating that he was only a working man ,

and ef course they could not expect so much from , him as they would from some of the great Lords or Dukes , oz some of the learned of the land who went about filling the people ' s heads with nonsense ; tat althongk he was not far book learned , he knew as much of the evils that afiict society as the most learned amongst them , —sor did he think they ever conferred any great benefit upon society , nor did he think they were able , if even they were willing . As a proof of this , he would refer them to the learning and abilities of the lait four Kings of England . He dealt out Borne very sarcastic and cutting remarks upon royalty , and in the course of a long and splendid speech , glanced at the various points of the Charter , and called upon those who had the welfare of their country at heart to use every exertion
in their power to make it the law of the land . Hii speech occupied an hour in delivery ; throughout his whole speech he was listened to with marked attention and warmly applauded at the close . Thechairman next called upon Mr . Boardman . He commenced by stating that he was ne great Breaker , but would merely Inform them that he was a Chartist and a teetotaller . He bad been a teetotaller about seven years aad a Chartist all his life , and the more he studied these atbject * he thought them the better . He was glad to see the Chartists here beginning to do their own work . The establishment of this room was a proof of their sincerity . He hoped they would become sober , thinking , and reading Chartists , and do their utmost to support the present establishment The Chairman next called upon Mr .
Maw . He commenced by showing in a clear and candid manner the treachery of the Tories at the late election . They all , he said , expressed their abhorrence of the New Poor Law and pledged themselves to have it repealed as soon as Parliament met , but instead of that they had done all in their power to prevent aa ? altera tion in that obnexious measure : but if they had been careless he hoped the people would be more determined in their exertions to have that disgraceful measure erased from the statute book , He took a general surrey of the existing evils we labour undor , and pressed upon the audience the necessity of the Charter . He contended that in his opinion it weuld ae a cure for all our evils , and that if the people would only work faithfully , it would soon be established as a law . He had humbly
advocated the Charter for the last three years , and he was sure he would never cease till it was made law . Mr . Maw concluded a long and argumentative speech amidst the plaudits of the meeting . The Chairman next called upon Mr . Anderson who commenced by stating that as the night was for advanced , he w » nld not take up much of their time ; but as the various speakers had pointed out the necessity and beauty of the Charter , he would endeavour t show them that what the Chartists sought for was their rights according to the Constitution of England . He quoted Blackstone , Smith , aad others , in support of his arguments , and proved satisfactorily that what he sought for had , and should again be the law ; he also considered that even had it never bees the law , and
though there was no precedent to go by , still , if it was a thing that a majority of the people wanted , they ought to have it He took a glance at the transactions of the late Gevernment for the last ten years , and proved tnat every act they had passed since they came into power was to better the few at the expense of the many . He showed the cruelties they inflicted upon Ireland , by the passing of the Coercion Bill for that unfortunate country , it being among the first fruits of a Reformed Parliament , and pro red that Ireland wanted more bread and less bayonets to make them a peaceable and contented people . He concluded by urging the necessity of the Charter . He said if one case was
stronger than another to convince them ef the necessity of the Charter , it was the transactions of the two factions at the late elections ; he referred them to the late contest at SuBderland , and concluded by moving the following resolution , " That the thanks of this meeting are due asd are hereby given to Messrs . Williams and Binns , and the Chartists of 8 oncer land , for their noble exertions at the late election , and hope they will go on in the good work till Heaven crowns their labours with success . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Cameron , and carried amidst the approbation of the meeting . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up highly satisfied .
MIDDLESBRO ' . —Last Tuesday night being the night appointed for the discussion on the Corn Laws , being resumed , by the time of commencing business the room was crammed full , expecting to hear what the repealers had got to advance in support of their position ; but as none o ! them showed face , the meeting took it for granted that they had seen that they had the wrong side of the question , and rather than have their pride humbled by poor but honest Chartists , they would absent themselves altogether . The meeting of course was turned into a Chartist one , and was ably addressed by Messrs . Holliashead , Sutherland , Boardman , Maw and others , on the great distress which is existing throughout the country .

Winspear was called to the chair , who opened the | business by stating that the object of the meeting was i te consider the means of keeping up aa agitation in i favour of the Charter , and called upon each delegate to ! state to the meeting how the proposed scheme was ap-! proved of by their constituents , and what was their I numerical strength .

: MANCHESTER . —During the last week , this town I was placarded with bills , the following of which is a ; copy which was very extensively read by the people : " Prospects of the people . An address will be delivered and a friendly conversation held in the Hall of Science , Camp-field , on Sunday , October 10 th , 1811 , at half-past two o ' clock , with a view to promote a union of sentiment amongst good men of all classes , and consider the best means of breaking down the present grinding system of oppression , and establish liberty , justice , and prosperity as a secure and lasting foundation . Corn Law repealers , Legislative Union Repealers , Socialists , Chartists , and all parties who profess to adVocate the cause of the people , are invited to attend and state their views . Messrs . O Brien , Leach , Campbell ,
Bell , and others will attend , and take part in the conversation . At half-past six o'clock , in the evening , an address will be delivered in the same place , by James Bronterre O'Brien , at the close of which , questions will be replied to . Admission—body of the hall , one penny ; gallery , twopence . The surplus , after defraying expeDces , will go to a'd Mr . O'Brien in establishing a newgpaper press . N . B . It being the monthly social teaparty , friends from the country and others can be accommodated with an excellent tea for sixpence each . Wheeler , Printer . " According to the abeve notice , the capacious room was well filled , although the weather was unfavourable ; the audience was composed of nearly all parties . Shortly after the time appointed , Mr . O'Brien entered and was received with applause , Mr .
Stansfield , a sincere and an intelligent Chartist , was called to the chair , who , after stating the object of the meeting , hoped that they wonld give every one a fair hearing , introduced Mr . O'Brien to open the meeting . In the course of his remarks , he stated that he could speak fairly to the present meeting . He was himself , a Chartist , a Socialist , a Repealer of tfie Union , and a Corn Law Repealer . Hethenwentto shew theutter impossibility for any of tke objects to be obtained without unity , and that , then , the first object was to obtain political power , which would enable them to give to Ireland a Repeal of the Union , Repeal th # Corn Laws , and assist the Socialists to carry their system into practice .
After delivering an appropriate address to all parties , which occupied half an hour , he sat down . Mr . Johnson , a Socialist , next addressed the meeting , giving his views of the state of society , * nd the best way to better the condition of the people —acknowledging the right , of the people to the suffrage , and would much like to see the working classes improving their minds and prepare themselves to make use of thatpowsr which they ought to have , and as a plan of instructing the people , he knew of so plan better than that of the socialists . A Repealer of the Union , who was in the gallery , next spoke relative to Repeal and the Charter . Mr . Watts , a social Missionary , delivered sfvery sensible and argumtntative speech , A policeman who said he

had come thither attracted by the bills , in his private capacity , said be could not agree with the Socialists that the speediest way to obtain political power was by adopting Socialism . He himself was a Com law Repealer and a Chartist . Mr . Warren , from the Cora Law Association , spoke in a very conciliatory tone , acknowledged himself a Chartist , Corn Law Repealer , and a Repealer of the Union , and had come to that meeting although the first be ever attended on the Sanday , to do all he could to effect a union of all patties This gentleman , like the rest , was heard with dumb silence . Mr . James Leach followed and treated the audience to a speech replete with facts , arguments , and high-toned eloquence , which elicited great applause , declaring that such was the progress oi the principles
of the Charter , that no other agitation would meet with the concurrence of the majority of the people . Mr . O'Brien replied , and thus ended a meeting which might be properly called an intellectual feast , and to see how the working men conld meet calmly , dispassionately , and soberly with a view to elicit truth . Surely this would have made the enemies of the people tremble , besides being an indication that shortly there will be a union of the working people to obtain justice , and nothing less . The people dispersed highly pleased with the afternoon ' s proceedings . The Socialists , in order to prove themselves not only philosophers in theory , but in practice , had provided an excellent tea , which was served np with true discipline and decorum . Upwards of three hundred
sat down . In addition to the enjoyment of the gunpowder and the currant cake , there was a choir of select music engaged , who sang rory sweet and lively airs , which added greatly to the entertainment Tea being over , the cloth was drawn and the tables sided , perfect order restored , and the people then began to flock into the hall with such rapid speed , that in less than half an hour the room was crowded to suffocation . The magnificent hall , at this time illumined by the gas , and such a living mass , presented a moat splendid appearance . The staircase , platform and gallery , both sitting and standing places , were taken up ; according to calculation of competent judges , 3 , 0 * 0 persons , at least , were present Mr . Stanfield was tailed to the chair again . He made a few remarks relative to the truly animating meeting in the afternoon ; and sat down , assuring them that any
questions which were proper should be answered . Mr . O'Brien then rose , and delivered a long , powerful , argumentative , and convincing lecture on the lasd , the currency , the Corn Laws , the Socialists , and the Charter . He ooi > tinned for three hours , after which answered questions which quite exhausted him , so much so , that he had to be lnd home by hia friends . Mr . Leach next spoke in explanation of the afternoon's meeting . A vote of thanks was given to the Directors and Managers of the Hall of Science , the Lecturers , and the Chairman . Before closing this sketch , in justice to the working men of Manchester , we believe this to be one of the most cheering prospects of a firm determination of forming a solid union , against which the puny efforts of the Whigs , or even twenty Sir Roberts , will be of no avail , and ominous of future events , the rights of the people being achieved .
WOLVHRHAWPTON —On Tuesday , Mr . Mason delivered an able and talented lecture on the rights of properky , at the Aasociation Room , Snow Hill , to a crowded and attentive audience . It was a rare display of talent , and he was beard with the greatest attention , and repeatedly cheered . He entered ably into the subject of labour , the soil , capital , and machinery , for upwards of one hour , and sat down amidst general satisfaction . Several fresh members were enrolled , and a liberal collection made ; a great many ef th j members renewed their cards of membership . We have commenced
visiting the trades , and Messrs . Mogg , Candy and Farmer , are the deputation appointed . At the conclusion of the meeting , we waited upon the Tailors' Society , at the Trade Ledge , entered into detail of our principles and designs , and Mr . Mason , who had kindly come with us , fully explained the wishes of the deputation , —the necessity of cooperation , —and which seemed to fully satisfy the majority of the members present They , in reply , said , that they would consider our proposition , and lay it before a full meeting , and then give us an answer by that night fortnight
Ok Wedkesdat evening , Mr . H . Candy commenced a series of lectures , chiefly intended for the Irish in and about Wolverhampton , on Ireland , its system of government , its institutions , and the policy with which England had governed her , with its Union and its Repeal , and the necessity ef the sons of toil , in each kingdom , being upon the terms of union and peace , cooperation and love , towards carrying oat the great principles of the People ' s Charter , and the rights of industry . The room was crowded , and we were glad to see several lads of the Emerald Isle , who heard the lecture with great attention , and promised to « ome on the next meeting night of the lecture and bring more of their countrymen to bear for themselves , for they never had heard the like before . This promises to tell welL Some fresn members joined , and several more renewed their cards .
Bradmobb , or better known by the title of the Lad ' s Grave , a small village at the extremity of the Four Cross Roads , almost secluded from the world , there resided , in some where about a dczen cottages , mauy of the hardy sons of labour , in the fire-iron , lock , and hammer line . Several of them were out-and-out Corn Law Repealers , and veritable Whigs . Some of them young men and married , and three of the patriarchal sort , venerable In their appearance , whose words and opinions were both law and gospel to the younger branches of the village . These old men , though far advanced in years , still are obliged to labour twelve or fourteen hours per day . The distance is about a mile
from Wolverhampton . The Charter was not known there some three months ago . Through the request of Mr . Joseph Stewart , our friend Candy went over one evening , some weeks back , broke the ground up in spite of Whig opposition , and sowed the good seed . It has not been in vain . The whole village , with the exception of two , have become members , and through the exertions of the two Stewarts . Mr . Candy has for this lost three Sundays had remarkable good congregations , and rerj attentive audiences , and they are come of the right sort . The more opposition we encounter , the more resolved we are for the struggle , to gain our Charter and No Surrender .

SKIPTON . —On the 9 th lnst ., Mr . T . B Knowles , of Kfiighley , delivered a lecture in the Temperance Hall , to a crowded audience . He went on to shew that so long as the aristocracy was kept up by the accursed law of pr imogeniture , so long will the working class be oppressed ; and that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not be any benefit to the working classes . At the close of the lecture several persons joined the Association .
