VALUABLE WORKS . Just pnblished , price 2 s . 12 mo . bound in cloth , FIFXEBN LB 8 S 0 NS ON THE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persona who have neglected Ike study of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this Work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are'divested ., therefore , of all those hair ' s-breadthdistinctioBB 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 whichhave so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works 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 folly that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language ia 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 senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Uso 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 u host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the publio estimation in which this Work is holden : — "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 whioh it ia 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 the structure of the English language than can be found iuBomevery elaborate works . "—Literary Gaxette . Also , Price One Shilling , bound in Cloth , PROGRESSIVE EXERCISES , Seleoted from the best English Authors , and so arranged as to accord with the Progressive Lessons in the foregoing Work , BY WM . HILL . Also , Price Fouvpenee , THE GRAMMATICAL TEXT BOOK , for the use of Schools ; in which the bare naked principles of Grammar , expressed as concisely as possible , are exhibited for the memory .

PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Streetr Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BY EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , TUB SIUESNT F&XE 22 n > , 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 Striotures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on 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 impotenoy , brought on by a delusive habit , all ltd attendant sympathies anddangerous 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 etate of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly , inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills . ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( 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 Gonorrhcea j Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss ot time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent 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 ia 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 nntntorod think they have only tc saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialised out 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 or 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 unakilfulneas of ''iterate men ; who , by the use of tha > deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , eausu > g ulcerations , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obsUnate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sore throat , diseased nose , with nootural paius in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death put * » period to their dreadful sufferings . These Pills are mild and effectual in their operation , without mercury , or mineral , aad require no restraint in diet , loss of time , or hindrance from business : possessing the power of eradicating every symptom of the disease in its worst stage , without the least exposuro to tho patient ; they are particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions of a parent are the source of vexation to h : m the remainder of his existence , by afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of a malignant tendency and a variety of other complaints that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . 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 tho blood induces , and hence the new and decept'vo forms a tainted habit puts on , which often v . eseive the most eminent of the faculty , and baffle tha best intentions towards a cure . In those disorders wherein salivation has left the patient uncured , weak , nnd disheartened , and when no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health which 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 oases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as -well » b removing Pimples from the Face , Sore Legs , or other disagreeable Eruptions on the head , face , and body . Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lla . per Box . Prepared only by Messrs .

m " ' II .... — . H _ ^ CAUTION ! THE extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose ot the incautious various counterfeits « omposed of tin most pernicious ingredients ; merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit , totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue . Observe , that each Box of the genuine Medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp , on which is engraved these words , PARR'S LIFE PILLS in white letters on a bed ground , none other caa be genuine .

RYDE . —Ma . Editor , —Thinking a report of the progress of Chartism in Ryde would not be ui .-in-, teresfcing to s-cae of the readers of the Star , I here : subjoin it . Chartism has now been publicly adTO- i C&ted in Ryde five weeks . We had our fifth meeting on Wednesday evening week , Mr . Quelcb , a workirg man , in the chair . The business of the evening commenced by Mr . J . Ballard , the sub-Treasurer , stating the i ; ushers of the Association , the present amount of the funds , and its general prospects . A very eloquent speech "was laen made by Mr . John Butler , Euh-Secretary , in which he enlarged on the necessiiy for , and the justice of the Charter , and the benefits that would accrue to all by its becoming < the lair of the land , illustrating his harangue by pointing to the enonaoas distress- now existing in ; the manufacturing districts of the north , destitution , comparatively speaking , twing nearly unknown in our own little island . He was enthusiastically !
cheered throughout the whole of his address . He ; was succeeded by a Mr . George Type , who though i not an ostensible member , kindly condescended to j » dvise tke " unwashed" on -the miiialij * of pnbiio , meetings , most of the members being novice 3 in ' affaire of that nature . A vote of thanks was theu given to their Newport brethren , for iheir opportune ; present of fifty copies cf the National Petition , two petition-sheets , and several other Chartist publics- ¦ Jions , through the medium of their Secretary , Mr . Cantello . A vote of censure was then passed on the Catton Chartists for their ii " .-advised proceeding . at the consecration of ibe new church in that vown . [ Previous to separating , the National Petition "was tmanimonsly adopted , and signed not only by tbo members , bu : by others in attendance .

Ehon time , wo were conducted to the School-room , and though not a crowded meeting , owing to the stormy night , yet the room was nearly filkd and "was what we Urmed an excellent meeting . Mr . Wm . Rdd , an aged man , but a sterling Radical , was unanimously called to the chair . He opened the meeting with a short but powerful appeal to both feelings and judgment on the present state of the country , which palled forth the . plaudits of tLe meeting . Ho then introduced Mr . Arthnr Robertson , who addressed them on the euLs of c ! as 3 legislation . He continued for three-quarters of an hour , laying bare corruption wherever it had a lodgment ; explained the poorer of royalty , which m ajt the absorbing , annually , a large sum of monev from the
industry of the nation—the power of her Majesty ' s Ministers , with the secret service money at iheir disposal , and the army and navy , andmral police espionage , and the pension list . Such astounding fteis ae were elicited in his address , made a deep impression on the meeting . He conclnded amidst the cheers of al ! present . The Chairman in a neat aud pointed address , next introduced Mr .

LEEDS . —The cause prospers welL Members are enrolled in great numbers every meeting night . A splendid lecture was delivered on Sunday evening by Mr . J . Smith . . KNAKESBRO 5 -A Soiree , in honour of the Charter , has been held here ; about fifty persons , amongst whom were a number of females , sat down to tea . The room was tastefully decorated ; the singing was of the first order ; the recitations , music , and dancing was equally good ; » number of patriotic toasts were given and responded to , and the- evaung ' s entertainments furnished one scene of pleasurable acd edifying enjoyment . : BARRHBAD . —At a public meeting held on the 24 th ult ., a verv strong resolution expressive of disgust and indignation at the contumelious treatment of the great body of the Chartists by Mr . Brewster , and declaring the conviction of the meeting that Mr . Brewster is a dishonest politician , and a tool in the hands of other parties to cause dissention in the Chartist ranks , was unanimously adopted . KIDDERMINSTER . —Babby Mektinq . —Chartist Tbjumth . —A publio meeting was convened by the Major of Kidderminster on Friday last , at eleven o'clock , in the Town Hall , for the purpose of congratulating the Queen , Prince Albert , and the Duchess of Kent , on the auspicious event of the birth of a Prince , aud it was very evident that the
" privileged class , " composed of both Whigs aud Tories , had unanimously agreed on an address at a hole-and-corner meeting , and the working classes were not expected to attend , bui were to be crucified between the two partieB , Whigs and Tories . But , thanks to ihd leading Chartists , wbo summoned their men together ; for by a quarter to eleven o ' elock they assembled in great numbers , the sight of which put the privileged class to a stand , and it wa 3 twelve o ' clock before the bnsiness of the meeting commenced . The Mayor , a Whig , waa voted to the chair . Dnring this time the Tories were sending their emissaries to the carpet factories and publichouses , to collect all the tag-rag together , telling them that the Chartists were breaking everything in
the Town Hall . The Vicar of Kidderminster read the addresses and moved their adaption . A gentleman seconded the addresses , and the Mayor was about to put them to the meeting , when Mr . Chorlton rose to propose , by way of amendment , that an address , which he held in his hand , representing to her Majesty the unparalleled distress of the country , be attached to the original address , which he iutroduccd in a speech whioh would not have disgraced the Houfd of Lords . He then asked if any gentleman on that Bide of the hall would second it , observing that he had plenty of persons beside him ready to second it ; but he wished to give the gentlemen on that side the house an opportunity cf shewing their sympathy for the working classes by seconding the
! ; ; ! ' amendment . Mr . Dadswell , a n e x tens i ve g r ose r an d tes-dealer , and a late member of the Town Council , arose and seconded the amendment , in a very neat speech , shewing that taxation and representation ought to be co-existent . He was frequently interrupted by questions from the big Whigs , and thunders of applause from the working classes . Mr . Hitchin , Secretary to the Charter Association rose to support the amendment , and was interrupted for i a short time by the respectables and great applause I from the working class . The following conversation i ensued among the respectables : — " Who is he I " ! " A Chartist lecturer , " said a second . '' We don't want itinerant lecturers here , " said a third . The ; Town Clerk— " Are you an inhabitant ! " Mr .
Hit-| The Chartists took no notice of the blackguards , but , i to the great surprise of the meeting , the Mayor ! decided that the amendment was lost by a very | email majority . At this announcement , the cry of " Shame , shame" resounded from all parts of the j hall ; but , in order to convince the Mayor that he i was wrone in his decision , Mr . Hitchin rose , and ; requested every one who had voted for the amend-! ment to leave the hall immediately , and go to Mr . | Stockall ' s , the Talbot Inn , where a meeting would ! be held for the purpose of taking inte consideration ! the conduct of the Mayor . This request was instantly obeyed , and in five minntes there tvas rerj few in the body of the hall , and those who re-! mained in the other part vrere chiefly those who had ; been treated with money aud drink to come and
dis-! j turo the proceedings . The meeting was held at the ; Talbot Inn , and it was agreed unanimously that a | public meeting should be held on Tuesday next , to take into consideration : he conduct of the Mayor , ! and report thereon . The bills are printed , announcing j the meeting , and we expect a bumper . This base j conduct of the factions has opened the eyes of the i public , and has caused many to be favourable to the ! Chartist cause whv - w ^ re formerly opposed to the Chartists . N . B . It is but justice to say that Alderman Talbot protested against the blackguards being let into tho room , stating that the doors ought to be locked until the division was taken : he left the Town Hall in disgust . It was unanimously agreed at the meeting at the Talbot Inn thai the proceedings bo fent to the Northern St&r for insertion .

Con Murray delivered a i lecture , in the same place , upon the subject of Orangeism and Ribbonism , on the following Wed-: nesday . The discussion continned till nearly twelve ; o ' clock , after which a vote of thanks was given to tho leczurer , and the meeting dissolved .
CAI . T 0 N . —The members of the Young Men ' s Association met lh Tuesday night , the 23 rd ul :., at No . 23 , Kirk-street , Mr . Young in the chair , for the purpose of discussing whether New Z : alaud or Ameriea were the best quarters to go to , providing they intended to emigrate . They contended that New Zealand , while it had hords of savage canni-LjAs in its bosom , was yet under the influence of a BritMi colonial system of legislation ; hence it was no port for a free-born spirit ; they , therefore , decided for the States of America , the land of the brave and the free . Nohth Quautek . —A meeting of the Chartists of the North Quarter was held on the night of the 24 th ult ., Mr . Kilpatrick in the chair , to hear a lecture on the prospects of Chartism , by Mr .

He called upon Mr . ' , RanMn to read the petition . Mr . Rankin came for-| ward , and after some remarks , proceeded to read i the petition , -which was well received by the meet-; ing . Mr . Rankin proceeded to speak in support of : the petition , and concluded by moving that it be I adopted by fie meeting . The motion was seconded ! by Mr . BJackie . After considerable discussion on ] the propriety of mixing up the question of the ; Repea ! of ths Irish Unien in the petition , it wa 3
¦ ! ! adoj . id by a large majority , not more than five or I six hands being held up against ifc ; after which the ¦ meeting proctedod to elect a delegate to attend the Convention at Glasgow , on the ihird of January . Messra . Watson and Rankin were declared elected by a 1 -, rge majority . Mr . Nisbst then stated that as Mr . Brewster had been elected to attend the Convention of Scottish delegates , and as he anticipated that the humbug question of physical force woulu be brought forward to the annoyance of the delegates and the exclusion of more important busi ! ne&s ; he would move , " That our delegate be in-! structed to protest against such a subject being introduced at that meeting . " After a vote of thanks to the chairman , and three cheers for O'Connor , I the meeting , which was numerously attended , quietly dispersed .
ABERDEEN . —At a meeting of the Council of the Aberdeen Charter Union , on the evening of the 25 th of November , the following resolution wa 3 unanimously adopted : —Resolved , — " That this meeting recommend our Chartist brethren , and every friend of humanity and justice throughout the empire , to adopt and sign instantly , petitions praying her Majesty to extend the Royal clemency to Messrs , Frost , Williams , and Jones , on tho occasion of the christening of the Prince of Wales , by granting a free pardon to them and » return to their native land .

presenting the plaid to Mr . O'Connor . Those present were quite shocked when they heard how he had been misinformed by the managers . They threw the odium on the poor females , to screen themselrea from the displeasure of Mr . Leader , who is a large proprietor of the works in which they were employed . After some other business had been transacted , the meeting separated . Twelve members were enrolled . On Wednesday night , a public meeting waa held in the Great Pavilion , New Market Street , to take Into consideration" tfee conduct of Magistrates and Town Council in their lavish expenditure el . the pablie money , in the present distressed state of the country , and likewise to hear Mr . Lowery's farewell address . At a quarter past eight the building having been pretty full ,
Mr . M'Pherson , comb manufacturer , was unanimously called to the chair . He thanked them for the honour they had conferred on him , and animadverted in very severe terms on the conduct of the authorities . Mr . Archibald M'Donald moved the first resolution , which was as follows : — " That this meeting view with the greatest disapprobation the conduct of the Magistrates and Town Council in their profligate waste of the publio money in useless and dangerous displays in the present distressed and excited state of the country . " He spoke at length on the inconsistency of the Magistrates in their blowing away so many hundred pounds of oar hardearned money in fireworks to please themselves , and a few old women , and likewise on the grand " guzxle ; " they are ta have at the public expence ;
but they have said that while the rich do feast and drink , that the poor shall also have their " banquet ' for in their niuninciant charity they have voted £ 50 to charities , that was all very good ; but he had yet to learn that it was charity first to take that money out of their pockets , and then pretend to give a part back , such conduct was adding insult to Injury . Mr . David Wright seconded the resolution , which was unanimously agreed 6 a Mr . John Legge moved the second resolution as follows , and was greeted with loud applause : — - " That the inhabitants of Aberdeen , in public meeting assembled , pledge themselves to use every lawful and honourable means in their power to have tbe franchise extended , as contained in the People ' s Charter , that they may be
enabled to replace the present imbecile and inconsistent magistrates of Aberdeen , by men who will not first excite the inhabitants , and then allay that excitement by bludgeons , bayonets , and ball cartridge , and other such Reform Bill arguments . " He condemned , in very strong terms , tbe conduct of tbe magistrates for their would-be loyalty , for gathering a crowd of peop le to huzaa and throw up their bonnets in the air ; but if they chanced to throw them too far , then the soldiery were ready at their backs to transfix them with their bayonets , or there were five hundred special constables , at a moments notice , ready to march upon the people with their bludgeons ; and aU these fellows have to be paid out of the public purse . Such meetings as these would teach tbe magistrates that we are no longer to
submit , or be driven from the paths of rectitude and justice by such tomfoolery aa was about to take place in our city . He continued in an eloquent strain for a considerable time , and then sat down amidst cheers . Duncan Nicolson seconded the resolution . The chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously . He then introduced Mr . Lowery , who waa hailed with rapturous applause . He descanted on the loyalty o ! the magistrates , and the great fuss that was made about royalty . He then entered into the fitness of the people to exercise the franchise , and answered all objections on that head . Mr . Lowery continued in a thrilling strain of eloquence for a considerable timo , and concluded by thanking them for the quiet manner in which they had listened to him , and telling them
that he - again have a chance of addressing them about the New Year . He sat down amid cheers . The chairman than briefly addressed them , and declared the meeting dissolved . The usual votes of thanks and cheers were given previous to dispersing . This is a meeting from which we expect the magistrates will learn a lesson ; it will teach them that tbe people are now too intelligent , that they are too much alive to their own interests to be any longer hoodwinked by those would-be " Icyal authorities . " The passing of the second resolution will make those petty despots tremble ; it shows that the Charter ia now the adopted creed of the multitude , and that neither the cry
of" hurrah for the Queen , " or any other elap-trap humbug , will lead them from tho path of duty , or make them give up the broad principle of universal justice to one and alL They may persecute men for holding those principles , they may immure men in their dungeons , they may banish them-to distant climes to languish in exile , but truth and justice are immutable , and will prevail . Thoy may retard the achievement ot justice , they m % y endeavour to stem the torrent of public opinion , which is breaking against the crasy hulk of legislative monopoly , this they may do , aye , more , but vengeance yet shall come , and that too , when least expected . —Correspondent .
