      MR . HOBSON , Stah Office , Leeds , has become Gbnebal Agent for Dr . GREER'S Genuine Improved Universal VEGETABLE HYGEIAN MEDICINES , of Glasgow , and is authorised to appropriate 1 Q per cent off his sales , to obtain the Charter , and aid the distressed victims of oppression . Dr . Greer ' s ; Pills- are sold in stamped boxes of 13 Jd . 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . eaoh . The small boxes have sixty pills , the 2 ^ . 9 d . have one hundred and eighty ; the 4 a . 6 d . have three hundred and thirty , and the 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 Medioa , &c . bia Pillsj of ' oqurae , must be an improvement of Morrison ' s . But they bear Dr . Greer ' s 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 . 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 once by a few brisk doses thrice a day . Yet as No . 1 is the best tonio diuretic and exhilirant , and as its . essence circulates 7 , 000 times through the body in the blood , oftenerthan that of No . 2 before it operates , therefore , all ohronio diseases require that both , should be Bsed alternately , daily , and by which every disease of whatever nature , iu 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 bod y * and the Materia Medica better than himself , he will become his pupil and patroHi ? e his medicines . ' Mr . Hobson will give a eheet of cures 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 public , and have obtained a character which invites enquiry and challsnges competition in the our © of all diseases . ; JAS . GREER , Professor of Hygeiani 8 m , & . o . Glasgow , January , 1842 .

      MEDICAL ADViqE . TO THE APFLICTKD WITH SCUBVY , VENKHBAI ,, OR SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEUHA . TISM , AMD NERVOUS OB SEXUAL DEBiUTY . - ?

' ¦ . •;¦ : VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC D ISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning 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 and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . 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 oases 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 thai 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 poison is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can " effect a perceptible appearance in the syatem . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more causa 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 curt mast be achieved to 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 only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of MedicaI Instruction ; for ^ unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by 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 tain ted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting tne skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions ana ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts 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 , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance , : " ; : , ;*\ : ; 7 . ; ¦; ¦ . .. ,.

      CAUTION ! rpHE extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE JL PILLS has induced several shopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose on the incautious various counterfeits composed of the 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 «» WHiTB letters on a red ground , none other can be genuine . / In ao instance has this invaluable Medicine failed to effect a perfect CHre where due patience and perseverance haa been exercised .

" Gentlemen , — -We shall feel obliged by your repeating the last order for Parr ' s Life Pilla , and forwarding immediately by Pickford ' s Rails . Instances of extraordinary cures are continually occurring to us by their agency . One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma , was , by taking two or three boxes , restored to health . Another instance is a man who had been confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks ; quite incapacitated for walking ; but by simply taking two or three boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health . I could ( enumerate many other instances , but these will suffice to prove the value ef the Medicine in ameliorating disease and confirming health .

      . ItxXAlLSi . —A meeting of the Chartist Associatien of Xanark was held in the Masons' Lodge , on Monday , 34 th of January , regarding petitioning parliament for ihe Charter . Mr , A . Law , president , said , as there were now two petitions in Scotland , it was loi them to « sy which they would adopt Mr . Ingrim said he had read the National Petition over and over again , and he bw nothing that he could find fault with ; ha would , therefore , propose that we hold by the National Petition , which was duly seconded . Mr . M'Williasis said fee objected to put of it , each as the repeal ef the Union of Ireland and the New Poer Laws being

      introduced into it . As he was the only one on that side of the question , the motion was earned by * show of bands- Some altercation then took place about Mr . H'Williams going to Glasgow , as a delegate for Kirkfield Bank , he having been elected by only three of tuat Association , without the knowledge of the rest . Mr . 3 £ < WHliaHis said we had nothing to do with that ; let KlrkSeld Bank people settle that themselves . - We contended that not only us , but every Chartist Association in Scotland had to do with it ; in was an insult to . every Chartist to think he must bs ruled by such paper-made delegates . Orders were then given to get 260 petition fieids and a few sheets , and the meeting dismissed .

      Naxtwich . —Mr . Dojle visited as on Friday last , agreeably with his route 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 was not until the afternoon of his 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 sot time to announce the meeting in any other way than by employing the bellman ; and , a » he had cried Mr . Doyle's farmer lecture , ve again applied to him , wishing him 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—but the bellman

      told Mr . D . that he had received orders from the authorities not to cry any more meetings of that description . This prevented Mr . D . from lecturing on that evening . The next day Mr . 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 his reasons for preventing the tollman from crying the lecture . However , the holy nan would not be seen . Before leaving the town for Chester , lit Boyle > entMr . Gretton a letter upon the subject , in which he gave him to understand that there was no law in existence by which he was justified in the step he bad taken , and that 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 . After receiving the above letter , the rector called upon the agent for the Siar , wishing h ^ to inform Mr . Doyle that it was not owing to s want of courtesy that caused Ida to refuse the Interview , urging his reason in-the first place , that he was very busy , and , secondly , he did aot consider that Mr . Doyle had any right to question tia upon the subject . He acknowledged having told the bellman after Ml . D . 's first lecture , that he would incur his displeasure should he ever cry a mrnfiar meeting ; that he did not do this in his magisterial capacity ; but it ww merely a little of hii legitimate kAuenee which he possessed over him , and he rather hose to offend Mx . D . than lose his { Mr . G . ' s ) patronage . Mr . Boyle returned from Chester on Tuesday ,

      t&e 21 th , and determined on lecturing in the building above-mentioned ; and , as the bellman was net allowed to cry ' the meeting , one of our friends { Mr . J . Bayley ) volunteered his services for the occasion . He went and with a 'bell i accompanied by great numbers of youngsters ^ ' and a groop of young t"ptn who were attracted by "the novelty of the cass . Considering the iBtiemem stats of the weather , the meeting was-very well attended , the large building was filled , and a conslderafelaaamber were forced to stand outside . Mr . Doy }^ lecture occupied about two hours , and tras delivered , in ihs jmoet spirited and powerful strain , which give gejteal fiattofiftiop . In thort , he is deserving of tbe bigboft pnl » fox bis exertions bare , and the people ve giving exfseation to iheir conviction of the truth and propriety of the- whole , and making inquiries rejnctSBfUi&BCl && ! .

The League have been bribing the working men to append their names to their petition , by distributing what they term unlaxed bread ; but the working men will not sell their birtb-rieht for a fourpenny or sixpenny loaf . Two hundred have signed the petition for the Charter and nothing less .

      MACCLE 3 FIELD . —A Delegate meeting was held in Macdesteld , on Sunday last Delegates were present from Stockport , New Mills , Mottram , Wilmslow , Hazslgrove , and Macclesfleld . Letters were read from Chester , and Nantwich . All places were represented as being in a prosperous condition , and extremely anxious for lecturers . Mr . Doyle ' s engagement having expired , it was deemed expedient to discontinue his f-ervices until after the Convention . The delegates in their reports 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 . Conway , Stockport , " That an address be prepared 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 . Doyle , for his valuable services as county lecturer for the last three months was unanimously agreed to , and the meeting was adjourned to Sunday February 26 th , when all places are requested to bring or send thsir money for the Convention Fund , without faiL

      SBEGBT , ( NEAR SCTTOJMN-ASHFIELD . ) A meeting was held here , on Sunday evening , for the purpose of dissolving the old council and choosing a fresh one , when the following men were chosen far the next quarter : —John Marriot , Michael Johnson , John Dan , Robert Chalenor , William Caunt , John Hardstaff , sub-treaeurer ; George Didsbury , sub-secretary . Chartism was unknown here except to a few bright spirits , who resolved that the good old cause should be understood and appreciated . Accordingly , Mr . Taylor was invited to attend a meeting , which at once he agreed to , after which an association was formed , and we are happy to to say 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 out of the fund , sixpence each to the Whig-made widows , Mrs . Williams and Mrs , Jones .

      EDINBURGH . Bronterbe 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 tbe last two months , and high , as were our expectations of the good to result from his presence amongst us , they fell far short of the reality . He lectured in Arthurstreet chapel upon the evenings of Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday last , to large andieneea , the place of meeting being crowded each succssive evening more than on the one proceeding . The last night it was literally crammed , passages and alL Mr . O'Brien entered at great length upon his views as to the evis of the present system , and the reforms best calculated to remove them , and made the soundness of his doctrines bo

      manifest , that while he confirmed the faith of his old disciples , he made many hundred new ones . Discussion having been invited 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 the soundness of Mr . O'B . ' s views . Aft « r 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 be 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 ths taxes , was all we had to expect from the Charter ! 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 the 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 tbe audience may be inferred from the fact that though the lecture was continued till after one o ' clock in the morning , not & single soul left the place of meeting I Thanks were veted to > ir . O'Brien for his able lectures amidst deafening applause , and notice given that a soiree is to be held in honour of that gentleman upon his return from tbe North .

      ST . AUDRSWS . —The Corn Law Humbug . — We were rather surprised to hear on Tuesday , the 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 public intimat . on being given ; thinking there would likely be some spjrt at the meeting we determined to attend ; before giving » report of the proceedings , we beg to express our most unqualified disapprobation of such meeting being called . The Com Laws do not affect tbe seven trades of St Andrew ' s as such , bat 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 cf St . Andrew ' s to discuss such a question was to tay the least of it , a pi £ ca of unwarrantable presumption on the part of the Convener . The Town bouse bell was rung at Eeven o ' clock . On entering , we foiiud a bar placed across the room , tbe gentlemen (?) bring only admitted iDside , while , the unwashed were considered as too ignorant to give any opinions in reference to this poor man's question ! and were , therefore , obliged to stand on the outside of the rail . There were n » t above fifty of the trades present ; a great many even of the liberals among them hanging back from taking part in ao disreputable a proceeding . The audience was , however , very numerous . After waiting a considerable

      t ^ rna without anything being done , the people began to manifest their impatience by ruffing ; upon which Convener ( Jillespie rose , and in one of the most meaningless , senseless , aad contemptible speeches we ever heard , proposed a petition to Parliament , praying for a total repeal of the Corn and Provision Law 3 . He spoke about everything but the point . Nonintrusion , Chartism , ministerial indifference about the people , Muir , Murray , a " spunk wife , "&c , were each hononTed with a notice from the learned Convener . He was heard very quiotly 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 audience , which caused many of the gentlemen within to look " unco blue i' the gills , " and set tbe 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 upon Bailie Cowan to support the motion , and give the people present some information regarding the proceedings of the late clerical exhibition in Edinbro . ' Bailie Cowan said , that he would abstain from referring to that point at present . He lauded the eloquence of the Convener , which was received with laughter by the audience . With a good many of the Bailie's remark b we cordially agreed . He gave the people one advice , which we aresure will be followed to the letter , namely , to take tha matter into their own hands , and do not be gulled by any person . . We can assure the worthy Bailie we will not be gulled , neither bj Whigs ,

      Tories , nor corn craiks . With his remarks on the Emigration Scheme we alBO cordially agree ; but from his 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 , " fcc , &c , were kept up by the audience ) One of the clerks then read a copy of tbe petition , upon which Mr . George Berwick , Wright , moved the following amendment : — " That while we consider the Corn Laws to be prejudicial to industry , iBjarious to commerce , and opposed to the best interests of the people , still we hold it to bo a public question , and therefore adjourn till a public meeting of tbe inhabitants be called by public intimation , for the

      purpose of discussing the best means of obtaining a repeal of these tyrannical and uDjust laws . " The realing of this amendment was followed by loud and continued cheering , clapping of hands , ruffing , &c , by the audience , which so enraged the getters-up of the meeting that they threatened to turn tbe audience to the door . Mr . Robert DUhart then made a speech which considerably amused the audience . He said something about a Prussian Gaxells and a London Gazette , and other high-sounding phrases , no doubt trying to pass for a very learned nan . He talked of the folly « f putting off the consideration of so important a question , as if any person was asVing them to put it off ! All that was wanted was a public meeting ; and that might have been called next night , or even their own meeting might have been turned into a public one ; but no ! keep down discussion ; swallow our nostrum * or

      nothing ; but we are too old them . The Convener then put the motion and amendment , when only three voted for the Litter . Consistent men , verily . Talking about the poor man ! interest , 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 en a form , and proposed that "As the meeting of the trades waa now over , a pnblic meeting of the inhabitants should be held , and that Mr . Berwick should take the chair , " which was seconded by at least a doz ^ n voices at once , and received with acclamation . Bailie Cowan , however , ordered the Hall to be cleared , and the people separated rather reluctantly , by giving three enthusiastic cheers for the People ' s Charter , 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 tbem . —Correspondent *
