OLD PARK'S LIFE PILLS . rpHE READERS of the Northern Slar are X particularly requested to read carefully the following account of the BENEFICIAL EFFECTS of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester and the Neighbourhood : — The following facts have been mentioned to Mr . J . F . Winks , the Agent for PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester , who has preserved tho name and residence of each of the parties , which he is ready to produce : — J , C- , Oxford-street , Leicester , aged 44 , had been ill two years , of a kind of influenza . The club gargcon Said he was in a consumption , and would never recover . He began to take these Pills three months ago , previous to which he had beeu confiaed to his bf » d six months . The Pills first brought away a * great deal of offensive matter , and then he gradually recovered . Can now walk about without a stick , and thought it his duty to make it known . He called again afterwards , and begged that his name might not be published , as it might offend the club doctor . The wife of Mr . Brown , in Fleet-street , had been in a low way for some time ; sho took the Pills regularly , and soon found her spirits more cheerful ; and her sight and hearing , which had been affected , were improved . She jaid they were pleasant , to take , not causing a sickly feeling , or giving the least pain . , . Miss Evans , Chatham-street , is a mender in a warehouse . Had been much afflicted for several years , and notable to domore than two hours work in a day . She took the Pills , aud soon was improved in health , and could see mucn better . She no . vr works her regular hours . Mr . Henshaw , of Bagworth , kad been long subject to palpitation of the heart , and could not walk uphill . Had the advica of an eminent physician in Leicester , but was not better till he took these Pills , but now is quite recovered . The wife of Mr . J . Frost , at the « wnei > laee , vraB so tormented with a cough , that she could not sleep . She had taken the Pills , which had done her , her husband said , a " world ef good . " Mr . R . Vann , of Belgrave , had been ill nve years of palpitation of the heart . Had been in the Infirmary , and under several physicians and surgeons . Has beeu gradually improving since he took these Pills , and is now able to work . Mrs . Turner , of WhetBtone , had found them very beneficial for the scrofula . FBOM MR . CLAHKE , OF PETEBBonOUOH . Peterborough , March 27 , 1841 . " Genixemew , —During the last fortnight I have sold nearly one hundred boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills , and the good effects produced by them have been most astounding . One person who has been many years dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic complaint , stated , that he felt certain from the good they had already done him , that if he could only remain quietly at home , instead of being obliged toguto work , they would completely cure him . Another person who had a bad knee , said that they haa done her more good than all the doctors . In fact , I have no hesitation in saying , that if your extraordinary medicine required such aid to bring it into notice , which in this part of tho world it does not , I could witli eabe obtain a dozen mor « such cases , with the names aod addresses of the parties . " I remain , Gentlemen , " Yours respectfully , "J . S . CLARKE . " Spring and Fall . —The spring and fall of the leaf have been always remarked as periods when disease , if it be lurking in the system , is sure to shew itself . The coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body , and in this state of inactivity their evil to the pystem is not perceived , but at the spring these are roused , and if not checked , mix up and circulate with the blood , and thus the whole systim is contaminated . These pills taken ihree every night for two or three weeks will rid the body of all that is noxious , and produce health and comfort . Persons troubled with scorbutic affections are strongly advised to try them at this time of the year ; in a tew days , they will perceive the powerful clearing properties they possess , and thus be induced to continue tliem . Recently , a remarkable case where a gentleman was so dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic disorder as to be quite unaignily . by a patient undeviating course of these pilis , his system has undergone a thorough change , and his skin is now as fair and sound as of a healthy child . The fall of the leaf also is a time when the system , relaxed by the heat of the summer , would be highly benefited by a few weeks' course of the pills , two or three every night ; these wil ! clear off sour and bad humours , which heat invariably generates , lhe liver , which generally gets sluggish , will be put into healthy action , and thus be able to perform tho functions allotted to it ; the body altogether will be re-invigorated , and prepared to undergo whatever change the winter may bring on . Many other cases have been mentioned by persons who have purchased the Pills . Indeed , the very extensive and increasing sale of this useful Medicine , is the beat proof that can be desired how highly it is appreciated . Sold by most respectable Medicine Vsnders , in Boxes at Is . l £ d ., 2 s . 9 d ., and 11 s . A list of Agents , and further proofs of the value of this Medicine may bo seen in another page of the Norlhvm Siar .

application is made to these Pills , for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection , characterised by a variety of painfuland distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . Perry have Happily compressed tho most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scoibutic affections , Eruptionson any part of the body , Ulccrations , SorofulousorV « nere&It « int ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigonr . 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 businessia accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized 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 it * fatal results either to neglect or ignorance . In thfl 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 aud fatal malady . What a pity that » young man , the hope of his country aad the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects aud eDJoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by adisease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy faot that thousands fall victim . to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulueSB OX illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulcevation * blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness oi sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets * nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and UtabSjtillat length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings .

SAUPOJiO . —There w&s a lecture in our room on Sunday evening last . The room was actually Buffocatmg . The whole borough is getting » liy » again . The co-operation system adopted by the CbArtfats here is the only practicable and jast one # stsblisbed Some families save as much as fonrteen-peoce per week in their pre&ent provision dealing . A conTer-8 tfcion , to the following effect , took place between a provision dealer and & Chartist daring the past week . We will not mention names : — Shopkeeper—What is the reason , Mr . Chartist , you do not get your flour and bacon from me as formerly ! Chartist— Because I can bay them of u good a quality and much cheaper than yoa will cell them to me . &—How do you prove that- ^ I buy as cheap &s anybody else !
C—N » y , but you do not ; yon get all your stuff on credit , but we pay ready money . S . —Yon pay ready money do you , eh—whom do you mean by " we" ! . C—Why the working men to be sure . We club our money together , go and buy oar provisions wholesale ; by this means we save 2 d . on the dozen of floar , 2 < L on a pound of b * COn , Id . per pound on candles , 2 d . per score on potatoes , and other articles in like manner . S . —Oh J you will get tired of such work , you may take my word for it . Som « one will run aw * y with your money .
C—Never fear , Mr . Shopkeeper , that 18 what you want . Ours is not a store where there is any great ram of money in any body ' s hands ; we have now three homes , where we divide our goods among ourselves ; we are determined no longer to be fools to be putting money in the pockets of shopkeepers , to keep them lazy and idle , to clothe their wives in Bilk , and their daughters in satin , while ours are in ra * s . Good bye . Mr , Shopkeeper . S . —( alone)—Whit the devil will become of us « These fellows , since they have commenced studying politics , and rending that damned paper the Northern Star , and such pubiications as the Chartist Circular , have begun to take their own affairs into their own hands , I &m afraid we aust become Chartists too .
On Monday evening the anticipated discussion , on the progression of mankind , took place . The Chartists are organising into classes again . Mr . Little moved , and Mr . Richards seconded the following resolution : — "In consequence of the long-tried , unceasing , and honest exertions of Mr . Campbell , secretary to the present Executive , in the cause of democracy in Salford , that we consider him afit and proper person to be nominated as a candidate for the permanent Executive of the National Charter Association about to be elected . BURTON-OK-TREWT . —This Tory town was visited last Monday by the Derbyshire Chartist lecturer —Mr . Bairstow—the first visit ever paid to it by a Chartist lecturer . Tbe bellman announced the meeting for the Market-place , at » even o " clock , where , at th 5 t time , an immense concourse had assembled , who manifested tbe liveliest desire to heai Mi . Bairstow . He
mounted a chair by tbe Obelisk , when a lusty but good humonred publican asked him what the Charter meant , to -which Mr . B . instauter replied in a moat argumentative , lucid , and convincing strain of reasoning on the principles of the Charter , to which the entire meeting and the gentlemanly publican gave their hearty assent and unanimous applause , with the solitary exception of one be- "taiight" -ed toper , whs , by his devoirs to the '' jolly god , " had got calf teas over , —but on interrupting Mr . Bairstow , h « wajs speedily pushed out of the meeting by a number ot the Barton lade , w&o stood Hie a firm phalanx around Mr . B ., hung in silence up « n his lips , and caught every sentiment with the loudest demonstrations of applause . While Mr . B .. in concluding hia address , which lasted two hours , was
adverting to the physical force by which the system is upheld , a voice muttered " Newport , Newpor t , " to which , with the rapidity of lightning , and a scathing glaace of withering scorn , he replied , " Talk cf Newport by the side of Waterloo : " and brought up a most powerful and thrilling picture of the present acenrsed system in all its departments . At the end of his lecrare threelouJ spontaneous and most enthusiastic cheers were given by the whole meeting , wjthoutany one proposing them , while hundreds of warm hearts responded in kindest wishes and prayers to his " good sight . " A bigotted shopocrat attempted , in the course of the lecture , to instigate one of the town police to put down Mr . Bairstow , but tbe policeman generously stated that he Was there as a preserver of
the peace and not a disturber , and that the lecturer ^ statements were true to the letter . " After the dispersion of the assembly , of whom there were not less than 1 . 20 fl , a number of friends accompanied Mr . B . to his lodging ? , where he enrolled a number of members of the National Charter Association , who will meet weekly and co-operate with the county and town of Derby . The Charier , Mr . Bairstow , and the meeting , is now all the topic in Burton . Pro 5 p « cts are most auspicious for a flourishing interest here ; hurrah for Chartism ! instead of " strong ale , "in Barton . The tide is turned , and it will follow till it empties itself into the great ocean of truth and justice . Mr . Bairstow will prob&Viy visit Burton again in the course of four weeks .
PRESTON . —On Friday evening last , the Chartista of Presten met in their Room , Avenhamstreet , to hear a lecture from Mr . BatUrworth , who in a plain , straightforward manner exposed the conduct of the . Moneymoneers and ProBtmongers . and contended that neither life , limb , nor labour would be protected by the law , in the same manner as the property of the higher and middle classes was . He then in a very sarcastic strain onmasked those clerical hypocrites who full the people by preaching " passive obedience and non-resistance , " who , living in affluence . haTe tse effrontery to tell their hearers it i % the will of Divine ProTidence that the great portion of maoi'md should be poor , and that they ought to snbniit in patience and not complain . After
exhorting them to union and energy , be concluded a most instruc ive lecture . —The doors of the Association Boom were then thrown open to the public , as had been announced by placard , < kc to take into consideration tbe propriety of adopting the petition that appeared in tbe Star , and devising means for the expences of the convection . Mr . R . Watson Wing voted to the chair , Mr . G . Hakon read tfee petition to the meeting , and , after making a few remarks on tfee propritty of agreeing to it , moved its adoption . > Ir . E .

John Collins , declaring him not a proper person to sit on the Petition Convention abont to be formed in London . We learn , from last wetk ' s Star , that he has entirely denied bting a member , and refuses to join the National Charter Association of Great Britain ; therefore , we , as a body of tbe above Association , will not , nor cannot ,
pL . ce confidence in hira , or any other man , or men , sitting on euch Convention , or in any way transacting business for tbe great bulk of the people . We view such men with sospveion , atid as traitors to the great cau * e we are labouring fur ; other places may do as they will , but we lite men that will go ' the whole bog , ' that is , for _ ' Universal Suffrage and Xo Surrender . —The Chartists of this town highly approve of Mr .

Amongst the rest , the poor fellows who fought and bled for liberty , were not forgotun ; their graves were elegantly strewed with flowers ; hundreds of people came running with tntir presents , until the craves were completely covered with
flowers . The Chartwts were busily engaged in deckiug the graves , ( four in number , ) after which tbe following lines were written in large hand , and placed at the head of each grave . Hfcre lie the valiant and tbe braye , Wh& fonght a nation ' s rights to buyq ; They tried to set tbe captives free , But fell a prey to tyranny . But still they shall not be forrot , Tho the grave their bodies rot ; The Charter shall our watchword be , — Come death , or glorious rictorrj

TO THE KDITOR OF THE LEEDS MERCURY . Sir , —Your ungentlemanly attack upon my character in the foul-mouthed language of Billingsgate , as exhibited in tbe report of tnj address delivered at the Chartist meeting held in the Cloth Hall Yard , after the Corn Law meeting had been dissolved by the chairman , fully justifies the general opinion held of your lying capabilities , or you would never have designated me " a low blackguard character , named Parker . " I have been fourteen years in business on my own account in Leeds , entitled to , and ever exercising , my right of voting for Borough Members of Parliament ever since the Reform Bill ; and I defy all the men in Leed «—yourself into the bargain— to prove you ever heard me utter a blackguard expression , or commit one blackguard or low dirty action .
After being fouryearaateetoUlUr , and three times that number of years before the public as a gratuitous lecturer and preacher of the gospel « f peaca &odgood will to ' man , you may imagine 1 am not unknown . I get my Hying by hard working as a smith , and I have done work for some of the moat respectable parties in Leeds—one for the last thirteen years , another twelve , another eight , and many others for several years together ; now , let these say whether I am a lew blackguard or not ; and then th « world may believe it . Theae know me , they know l pay for what I get , and as far as man can , own no man anything but lova 1 pity such a poor creature as yourself—compelled to resort to such wicked means to bolster up a falsa and oppressive position . Was there ever a paper so filled with lies , as the Mercury ot last week , and yon , a professor of tbe religion of Jesus Christ too—you are a precious specimen of a professor—a blind leader of the blind !
I question , after all , your ability to 'Idjure me , you are so well known to be a common and unprincipled liar ; but no thankB to yeu on that account— " your purpose good is equal to the deed . " You have attempted to rob me of my . good name to enrich yourself ; but the wicked will fall iuto his own snare . What I possess 1 know well bow it has come ; and you should not be surprised if I object to the system of worse than highway robbery practised by the worst government that ever curstd the sbvres of Britain . Is it to be wondered at , that with my blistered hands , I am become a C ; iartist ? My resolve is taken , and if I can do it , the whole fabric of corruption shall tumble down abont your ear * , and therefore I advise you to shift your quarters quickly—leave off lying—speak the truth , and then folks will begin to wonder , and you will bo aafa . Till then I defy you , and live Your unconquerable opponent , Joseph Pabkeh .
THE NEW " NATIONAL" MOVE . TO THE EDITOR OP THE H'OUTIIKRN STAR . Lambeth , 4 th April , 1841 . PEAR SIR . —It is extremely painful to tny feelings to be obliged to appeal to my democratic brethren , through the medium of tfceii own journal , on tht present occasion ; but having considered it my doty to struggle for years against a party who , dressed in the garb of friendship , have systematically proved themselves to be our greatest enenriea—in fact , the only enemies we have to fear—and fearinx to create disunion when tbtre was the appearance of co-operation , I have been cautious of giving publicity to ray long-settled and deep-rooted conviction , that these political wolves in sheep ' s clothing were acting as a drag chain on tue wheels of tbe Universal Suffrage -waggon , and that too in
its uphill efforts ; thus making its application the more severely-felt—a coavicui / D which is the result Of a close association with , and a careful observation of the conduct of these gentlemen , for tbe last five years . But now , when their plan of apposition to the national will has &asusu « d a tangible form , and there is no longer any danger of my causing the disunion , they having disnnited themselves , 1 ttink it would be unwise in me to let this opportunity slip of cautioning my brethren , who are nouestly engaged in the cause of political and social improvement , against the insidious attempt that is now being made to distract their attention fium the great movement in which they are embarked , to divide thfcir energies , and Weaken their unanimity in tbe most complete organisation , and most approved system of wjitaUon , -which has ever yet existeu amoug the working people cf this or any other country .
i received the othtr day a circular containing an address to the " leading CbartisU of the United Kingdom , " requesting their signature and co-operation in forroiag a National Association !! for the political , moral , and social improvement of the people ; but , instead of signing thb > document , or descending to a personal correspondence with any of the six cuu-pirators , whose names are attached to it , 1 rather chooso thus publicly to disclaim any connection with this party ; to protest against tua vile attempt to break through the phalanx of true hearts and strong arms ¦ which now fcurround and protect the citadel of Chartism ; ai . d to denounce the base and servile toolB of the " bise , brutal , and bloody faction , " who thus ltnd themselves to the performance oi tbe ungracious task of burking the niyvtment , uatler the specious pretext of improving the political , moral , and social condition of the people .
Tliere is already ( and I am proud to « ay it ) a great National Association formed in this country , with the principles of -which thtse men profess to agtee . Why , then , do they setk to destroy that by ttie fomntion of another , having ostensibly tbe same objects ? This , U > say the leaas of it , sniu 21 s of O'Coimellu-m so strongly , that , in my opinion , the omission of his name to the circular in question , is an error which ought at once to be remedk-d ; and , for my part , Mr . Edicur , 1 cannot allow these praters about the ignorance of the masses to lay the blame of tue evils , which arise chiefly out of the vicious legislation of tbe highly-educated nnd very
immoral aristocracy , on tbe shoulders of their more virtuous , though less educated , brethren . And , to tell you tht truth , Sir , I hhould be very loth to trust my children to be taught morals at such a school . As to the educational department of tbe scheme , I fancy hontst Joe of Kilkfenuy will be entitled to tue credit ; und the blessings we mi ^ ht enjoy under present circumstances nuy safely be attributed to the latu Member fur Bath , who has evinced such a sympathy for the poor , tint he would throw them on their own resources with diminished means , and give them cheap iread , more work , and less wages , by a repeal of the
Corn Lairs . In ordtr , therefore , that we may know our friends , the names of these three patriotic gentlemen ought to be added to tbe list of six which grace the frontispiece of this new edition of the Penny MapoziTte , which is to divide the shetp from the goats , and fit and prepare us to receive our full measure of justice . Now , with all due deference to the superior knowledge of these immaculate teachers of morality , I cannot diicover such a vast amount of crime of any s » rt among tiie daw to which 1 belong aa should , on a comparison with those who at present possess the power of being dragged or driven to rote for their masters , disqualify us to exercise the rights of citizenship . Indeed , I am perfectly satisfied that any comparison ' of the kind , would shew snch a balance in our favour , as would convince our sapient , would-be-scboolmasters—those of them at least who can afford to be honest enough t «
act according to the diotates of sincerity—that their labours ought to commence with their employer * , and , like the great moralist of old , cry aloud agatnit the crimes and wickedness committed by thote .- in * ntb 9-rity—scourge the money-cnangen from the templepronounce woes against tbe oppressors of tbe poor , and those who , by adding fconse to house , deprive their brethren of their fair share of the ample and continual feast which the God of all baa provided for alL ; and having silenced the scribes and pharUees , and the great expounder * of the laws , who live by lying and deceit ; aud having by these means procured an abundant supply of food for a starving population , then let them turn to the poor and preach contentment , and their labour will be light . Let them have but the potter to improve their political and Bocial condition , and then let them look for morality In the contented mind , in the reciprocal performance of social obligations , and in the amelioration of the institutions of our
common country . In the xaean time let us presa onwards in our straightforward course , turning aside neither to ^ the rigbfc nor

the left ; and having justice for the foundation of our claims , truth and sincerity as the rule of our argument we cannot fail in ultimately achieving our freedom and securing our rights . And as to these moral philosophers , we can well afford to make a present of them to Dan or the Cora Law Repealers , and 1 therefore suggest that they be disposed of accordingly . I am , Sir , your very obedient servant , H . Boss .

HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Tdesdat , April 6 . Mr . Ha wm presented petitions from the Medical Practitioners of Cockermouth , to favour of Medial Reform Bill , also petitions from Dissenting Congregations in Hampshire and Essex , against church-rates , and petitions from individuals in favour of tbe release of Feargus O'Connor , and for a free pardon for Frost , Williams , and Jones . Mr . Denhistoun presented a petition from Glascow , praying for Universal Suffrage , and against the Com Laws . Mr . Wakxry presented » petition from the Camberwell and Walworth Charter Association , praying the House to remit the sentence ou Mr . Feargus O Connor also a petition from Salford , praying for the remission of the sentence on Frost , Williams , and Jones ; also a petition from Finsbury , praying the House to institute an inquiry into the principles of the Socialists .
A , letter was read by the Speaker from Sir R . Stopford , acknowledging the rote ot thanks passed by the House of Commons to himself , and the officers and men under his command . - On ta « motion of Viscount Palmenrton , It was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn until Tuesday , the 20 th of ApriL Lord PA 1 . MHKSTON , in reply to a qoestfon from Mr . P . Howard , stated that the Portuguese commission for the settlement of the claims of British subjects were still occupied with preHminaryinquiries , wllich required to be brought to a close before any of those claims could be settled .
Mr . E Wart then brought forward his motion for an address to her Majesty , praying that she would be graciously pleased to appoint a Minister of Education , one whose duties should be to lay annually before Parliament a return showing the progress of education throughout the United Kingdom . The Hon . Gentleman , at great length , stated the practice in foreign countries , contending that the greatest advantage must accrue to Great Britain from tbe adoption of the continental system . One great advantage that would follow the adoption of his motion , would be the establishment vt public libraries , tke want of which was a reproach to the character of the country . Mr . W . S . O'BIUEN seconded th » motion , and contended that tbe next doty of tbe State , after that of the protection of life and property , was to make provision for the Instruction of the people .
Sir O . Gbbt said he should not be doing justice to a question of such Importance if he entered fully into it in a Htuse so tbin ( about Btty members ) . He believed the state of the House was to be attributed to the day on which it was brought forward—the last before the adjournment—and to a belief that it would not be brought forward , rather than to any indifference on the part of the House to the subject He could not , however , agree to the motion of his Hon . Friend , because , after the recess , a report from the Committee of Privy Council upon the subject of education would be laid upon the table , which would give very full information on that subject , and might prove to tbe Hon . Member that the necessity for the appointment of a minister of education would bo in a great measure superseded . He would suggest to the Hon . Member to withdraw his motion for the present , and bring it forward -when tbe estimates on education would be before the Honae .
Mr . EwaBT acceded to the suggestion , and the motion was accordingly withdrawn . Mr . Hume then moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire iuto the present state of the national monuments and works of art In Westminster Abbey , in St . Paul' s Cathedra ) , and in other public edifices ; to consider the best means for their protection , and for affording facilities to the public for their inspection as a means of moral and intellectual improvement for the people . Mr . Mackinwon was of opinion the adoption of tbe motion would be conducive to the public welfare ^ though he was apprehensive lest It should be considered as the adoption of a principle tnat all cathodrals should be thrown open to the public .
Mr . Labouchere would not oppose tbe motion , and , as the committee would be probably appointed , ho thought it would be advisable to postpone any discuwion on the details for the present , and wait until the report of the committee should be laid on the table . \ Sir R . Inglis made some observations in opposition to the motion , though he was quite aware it was useless for him to do se in the thin state of the House , and more particularly so as it was supported by her Majesty ' s Government Lurd Mokpkth , in allusion to a remark made by Sir R . Inglis as to a risk to which tbe cartoons in Hampton Court bad recently been exposed , said that the Chief Commissioners of Woods and Fore&ts ¦ wen t recently to Hampton Court , and he beHuved precautions were now adopted to prevent any danger of future accident to those inestimable works of art Tbe motion was then agreed to .
At the request of Lord Palmerston , Mr . Hume postponed , until after the recess , his motion for papers relative to the destruction of the steam-boat Carolinethe Noble Lord remarking that a discussion might embarrass existing negotiations . Tbe House then adjourned .
