OLD PARRS LIFE PILLS . MORE PROOFS that this noted Medicine will restore to health the afflicted , and continue in sound health the recovered . Read tho following from a soldier , discharged from her Majesty's service as incurable , after having the advice of the most celebrated physicians : — " To the Proprietors of Old Parr ' s Pills . " Gentlemen , — I feel it a duty I owe to you and to tho Public at large , to acknowledge ihe aalon ' Hthing benefit 1 have received from taking 'Old Parr ' s Pills . ' I was for nearly nine years in the 5 ' 2 ad Regiment of Foot , but was discharged in tho year lfl . il ) as incurable , after having the best advice her Maje ^ -ty ' 3 service afforded , being pronounced consumptive ; I then returned home to Hinckley , where my attention was attracted to Old Parr ' s Pills . I was induced to purchase a 2 s . 0 d . box , and from that moment I date a renewal of my life ; for on taking ono box , I immediately began to recover , and two 2 i . Dd . boxes more completely cured me . " I am , yours most obediently , " John Osborn . " Witness—Jamea Burgess , Bookseller , &c . &c , Hinckley . Tho following extraordinary case of cure has been communicated to the Wholesale Agent for Parr ' s Life Pills , at Nottingham : — Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Lenton , near Nottingham , has been severely afflicted for the last thirty years , with a violent cough , and difficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations . She took cold when only fifteen years old , and the cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life 1 ' ills . She had tried almost erery kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in largo quautities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' s Pills about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box , she found herself completely cured , and was never affected in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now better in health than sho has ever been in her life . This cure does indeed appear miraculous , but for the satisfaction of tho most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answer any inquiries , either by persona' application ov by letter , addressed " Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Lenton . " Two remarkable cases ( .-elected from many others ) eonimui ; ea ' . r . l to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer , ¦? . '> , Mail ' ot Place , the Agtnt for Hull . Mr . 1 'lu . xton , of Coitingham , five miles from Hull , had ioiig been afllicted with a most severe internal diseiue . So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequency ^ xp ^ cted death was at hand to release him from Ins stifleriugs . For a great length oi' time he had been unable to sit down at a' ! , evrn being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented Miccess of " Parr ' s Pil . s , " purchased a small box for him , and on his calling for a second box , he tuld mo that such had been the astonishing eifects produced by one box , ho was able to sit down , and on taking two other boxes , his pains have left him ; his appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has ever been in his life . Mrs . Siiaw , wife oi Mr . Shaw , yeast dealer , had been for a great length of time afflicted with a sevorn internal disease . To use his own expression , " paying doctors for her had beggared him , " so that at last he was compelled to send her to the Infirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit . Having heard of "Parr ' s Pills , " . he purchased a small box ; she began to mend immediately on taking them , aud two more boxes have cured her . She is as well as she ever was in her life . Mrs . Stephenson , of Cottaigham , five miles from Hull , has been severely afiRcted with a bad leg for more than ten years , and during that period has tried all kiuds of medicines , but without any permanent reli- f . After taking four small boxes of Parr ' s Pills , she is able to go about her day ' s business in a manner which for comfort has been unknown to her fur above ten years . Signed , Edmund Stephensoiy , her Son . Witness—Joseph Noble , Hull , May 8 , 1841 . " To the Proprietors of Parr's Pills . " Mrs . Ann Lamb , of Haddington , in the Parish of Anborn , bought two small boxes of Parr's Pills , at your Agent ' s Medicine Warehouse , Mr . Jarne * Drury , Stationer , near the Stone Bow , Lincoln , for her son Jesse , who was suffering very badly from Rheumatism in the hands , kneea , and shoulders ; he is seventeen years of age , aud in service , but was ubliged to leave his place from the complaint . The two boxes completed a cure on him , and Mrs . Lamb bought a third box of Mr . James Drury , last Friday , for him to have by him , and to take occasionally , lie has now returned to his place , free from Rheumatism . " This statement , by Mr . Robt . Lamb . and Ann , his wife , parents of the youth , is given that others may bsnefit by those invaluable Pills , Old Purr , and they will willingly answer any enquiries , and feel very thankful [ or ( he good they have done to their son /' Lincoln , April 17 , 1841 .

. MEDICAL ADVICE . MESSRS . * WILKINSON AND CO ., SURGEONS , A ' o . 13 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds , and 34 , Prince Edward-street , Fox-street , Liverpool , HAVING devoted their Studies exclusively for many years to the successful treatment of the Venereal Disease , in all its various forms ; also , to tho frightful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , " Self Abuse , " may b « Personally Consulted from Nine in the Morning till 'J | en at Night , and on Sundays till Two . Attendance every Thursday at No . i , Georgestreet , Bradford , ( from Ten till Five . ) In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making only one personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medi * cines . that will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all oAer means hare failed . They hopethat the successful , easy , and expeditious mode they have adopted , of eradicatingevery symptom of a certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving the constitution iu full vigour , and free from injury , will establish their claims for support . As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but , on tke contrary , ono infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , tht ) practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to Temove the present attack , but to preserve the'eonstitution unimpaired , in case c-f a repetition at ho distant period . The man of experience can avail himself cf the greatest improvements in modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mil " nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances . In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and whicn may be tie means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill-Patients labouring under this disease , cannot be too cautious into whose hands they commit themselves Tho propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing tna ordeal of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinguisn this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on tno head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore thioaH , scrofula , swellings in the neck , nodes on tn ^ J * J ? m bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and up t > 3 , which aro frequently mistaken for rheumRisfi &c . &c . Messrs . W . and Co . ' s invariable rule is to ijire a Card to each of their patients , as a guarantee tor Cure , which they pledge themselves to perform , or return the fee .

TViLSDE . v—A Radical meeting was held at this placa on Monday evening , Mr . Thompson in the chair . The meeting appointed a committee of three persons , Benj wain Hartley , WilliamCawcroft , William Eastwood , wool-combers , and a secretary , George Bairstow , weaver . It was unanimously agreed that they join the National Charter Association as soon as possible ; and that they repose unbounded confidence in , and give their best thanks to Feargus O'Connor , and the Editor of the Xvrthsrfi Star . » Stockport . —The Council beg leave to tell their brethren , that as the ill winds which have so long dispersed the Chartists of this district , like the accursed simoom , have now blewn over us , nnd that we are acain
uniting , determined to put all obstruction and division down , and taking principle as our guide , we are determined to put down all those party differences and personal ' squabbles which have so long distracted the good and hoSy cause in our district ; we therefore earnestly call upon all our brethren and sisters—Chartists , to arouse from their apathy and enable us once more to place Stockport in the position she once held , and no longer be a laughing-stock for the parties who are opposed to us , and who tell ns that Chartism is at . discount—The Rev . John Williams Morris is delivering a course of lectures on the parliamentary history of England and Ireland , from the earliest period on record , dowi , tj the present time .
Yeovil . —There was a meeting of the Chartists held at this place , on Monday the 17 th instant , ¦ v ^ ich was not very numerously attended ; but the zeal'which was displayed towards the holy cause that we espouse , by those who were present , made amends for the sruallness of the number . The ebject for which we met vrag very important ; inasmuch as the proceedings of that meeting decided , whether the Chartists of this town should continue to be an organised body , acting in co-operation with e ; ich other ; or whether we should for the future be considered as a few isolated innividuals , each following his own particular views . The business of the meeting was as follows : —A short time after we commenced the Chartist agitation in this town , we took a room to meet in , thinking by so doing , we
should have a better opportunity of making known our principles , and , that it would be the means of augmentir . g out numbers ; but iu consequence of the apathy manifested by the working classes of this town towards tLe Chartist Cause , an < i tke retrogade motion of some of our nitml-ers , we have ir . curred a heavy debt . TLe subject for discussion was , the best-mode of liquidating the same : ar . d to decide u ;> on our future movements . Mr . Hewlett was called to the chair . The L'hairrr . an then pruceedi . il to read a very encouraging letter from our wortiiy secretary , >! r . Bainbridge , who was unavoidably absent , when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed ' . o , proposed by Mr . Stevens , and seconded by by Mr . "W'hea « lon , " That it is necessary for the future welfare of this society , that we should know our resources ; we do therefore request the cl . iis-leaders to go round to the members of their classes , who are in arrears with thfir subscriptions , ami apply
to them lor the same , and if they dj dot pay them immediate y to be considered as no longer members of this s . - ¦ Ir-ty . " Proposed by Mr . Stevens and seconded by Mr . Tucker , •¦ That considering the embarrassed circu ' . r . stances trailer which we are now labouring , we do enter into a Voluntary subscription to help to p . ty the aboTe debt . " Aft « . r wLioh fom- of the members volunt ~ red to psy . ' -: j . per week extra , until the debt was discharge . ! , rather ti . an see the society become defunct . It was the opinion tf the members present , that much g-xvrl iniil . t be effected if we had a talented missionary down in the west ; to make known the truths of Chart ..-:: i , and to awaken tie dormant energies of the people . But unfortunately it is n >< t in uur power to scii or : one ; we thi ^ k that it would not be the worst monrv which will be spent by the Executive Council , if they have the funds at their comman . 1 , in sending cue down here .

for foreigners . The speaker tbaa adverted to the average consumption of . cottoiuaK > which has been frequently alluded to of late , in ?^ pe discussion of the subject adverted to . He read the petition from "Fielden's Factory Curae , " and entered upon a variety of topics through which our space will not allow us to follow . He concluded amid loud cheers . The chairman then gave out titi notices , anil several letters and placards were rWtf fatti 4 jffiiasiii pprS of the country , which showed that the' people were up , and at their post , and which received toe plaudits of tho assembly . Mr . GtriSipL roaeto move the following resolution ; he merely read and moved it , which was loudly cheered \ at the close , " That this meeting is of opinioiTrt | t the eop thrown out at the eleventh hour by the bate , hypocritical
scurvy , doubled tongued , trescherwa , unprincipled , rapacious , shameless , unblushhigj * $ l » w , tyrannical , greedy , insincere Whigs , is doue wrJthe purpose of deluding and deceiving tho people to misgovern the nation . In taking a retrospective view of their con * duct , we find that they came into power with pledges of economy , retrenchment and reform . They said that the working classes wer »'_ robbed , plundered , and enslaved by the Tories , who arelfcoary in crime , wrinkled in misrule , blind ia > ou ^ tadice ^ cTi ( tot t& power , patronised for mischief , pr 3 bfitjj&oaSukJM > wi * , the hated , the despised , the ^ iljped ytHtf vjtS fierated , tho blackened , the blaawBi ^ lg . humiKatea , the detested mousters . The WMpTwere well supported by the people for four yelli and had a
sufficient majority to carry any measure wr the bettering of the | condition of the many ; instead of which the organ of the Whigs , Lord John . ' Russell , declared the reform a final measure , notwithstanding the promises they ( the Whigs ) made when oin of power , to wit , that if the people would assist for the obtainment of the Reform Bill they in return would assist the people to ebtain a full measure of wstioe for the people , and that they would never ' test satisfied until the enslaved millions were in Possession of those rights which truth , reason , and-the laws of God aud \ nature entitle them to . In opposition to which , when they considered themselves sufficiently fortified , they , by their acts and ' ooaduct told the people in language too plain to be misunderstood ,
that may go to the devil for further indulgences . They have forced upon the people the , infernal New Poor Law Bill , and to coerce the pjjiple in subjection , and to carry it down their thmat ^ whether or uot , they established bodies of- rural police ; they transported the Dorchester labourers atia" the Glasgow cotton-spinners ; have imprisoned four hundred of our industrious countrymen for telling the truth . By their tyranny and oppression , they have driven a vast amountyif capital abroad , and thousands of the cleverest artisans to compete against and ruin us ; they beingeither too short-sighted or dishonest to foresee and avoid it . They have held out all manner of inducements , and have fitted up ships for thousands to emigrate . When the narrow-minded , superstitious ,
and bigoted Tories left office , there was a clear surplus revenue of i ^ . GGo . OOO , which the Whigs have not only extinguished , but have actually created a deficiency of £ 1 ) 40 , 000 , besides adding to the Natioual Debt £ 130 , 000 , 000 , and consequently increased the interest . They gave a deaf ear to white slavery , by treating their petitions with scorn and contempt , ai = d voted £ ' 20 , 000 , 01 . 0 for the emancipation of black slavery . They voted a German woman £ 1 UO . 000 , and voted for £ 50 , 000 for another German pauper . They have added a great number of Peers , augmented the Pension List , and increased taxation £ 3 , 000 , 0 U 0 . They have coerced Ireland , and slain the Cauadiaus . They gave £ 70 , 000 for building stables for horses , and only voted £ 30 , 000 for
national education , rliey have brought the country to a most wretched condition . I'i lliu' 2 the working classes were denominated by the Whigs as wise , industrious , and peaceable subjects ; but they are stigmatised now as seditious , rebellious , and disaffected . Rents and taxes have increased , while wages have decreased . The commercial condition of the country is most lamentable . The working classes are the only classes taxed , yet poorly led , thinly clad , wretchedly housed , and treated like slaves . They deserve the contempt of every true lover of his species , for their recent base , unprincipled , flagitious , unconstitutional , decency—defying , hypocritical , meanly cruel , biieakiugly malcious , spitefully revengeful ,
and waspishly vtnemous treatment of Fenrgus O'Connor , O'Brien , and the rest of the incarcerated Chartists , and for kidnapping and bauishiug Frost , Williams , aud Jones . Having taken a view of their conduct while in office , and found by experience that they have forfeited the confidence reposed in them , and believe them incapable of governing the country witii comfort and satisfaction to thu public , this meeting is determined to put no further trust in t :. cm . : 1 Mr . Jatnes Leech said there was not a senteuce » itf it but what he perfectly agreed with . It t ; ave no quarter to either Whigs or Tories , and he h 'pod the working classes would endeavour to maintain their own po-nion in society , and scorn both parties . The resolution was carried amid lou , d ap-

" A person from the body of the meeting seconded it , and when put it was carried unanimously . Mr . liutterworth and two others also addressed the meeting . A vote ot thanks was given to Charles Connor , and the meeting broke up , well satisfied . —[ We received a very lengthy report of the above named meeting , but such is the demand upon our space and tho importan-e of passing events , that we kave been reluctantly compelled to curtail the report . ]
[ We have inserted the resolution , above , verb * dim , not feeline ourselves at liberty to alter the phraseology ,-yet we cannot , and shall Dot , undertake to justify the unnecessary use of such a redundancy of harsh terms , however merited by the factions . ] Brown-street Chartist Rooms . —The Rev . W . V . Jackson preached kere on Sunday evening last . The rev . gentleman produced a glorious feeling upon the minds of his audience by encouraging them to persevere through good and through evil report , until the Charterbec « me 3 the law of the land , and the people of this country are comfortable iu body and mind . He afterwards announced that a public tea party would be held in the Brown-street Rooms , on Thursday in Whitsun week , for tho b-iKfiL ot that , tried , valued , uncompromising , and noble patriot , now in Chester Castle , William Benbow .
STOCKPORT . —CfliRTiNo tiic " Dead" Chartists . —A short time ago the Wiiigs boasted that the Chartists were dead ; but now , alas ! tho poor Whigs are so far riduced in their probabilities of j sticking to place , that they are praying , beseeching , ! and begging the support of the "' dead" Chartists at tho comiiiL : election ; ihis must convince plain John Campbell that there has be .-n a resurrection , and therefore the day of judginen " , must be at hand ; prepare then , ye Whi ^ s ; an offended , insulted , : ind . oppressed j'idge , in a u . iKed pcopk * .

LANARK . —Corn Law Agitation versus Cn . vnti . vm .. —Tne L ' urn Law party to give every sefaliiaiice of popularity and importance to their movement , attempted to get the lYjvost and magistrates at their head , but in this they failed , as will be seen in the sequel . The declaration of ministers was h : u ) ed as a God-send , but th- y were not competent for the task , inasmuch as they did not dare to meet tho public , iesi they might sustain a defeat . Tr . eir firs : attempt was the getting up of a requisition to the magistrates to convene a public meeting , P . t which they got upwards of 400 signatures , in answer to which the magistrates deoiiuei to interfere , but granted the use of the County Hall , for the said purpose . The next ateD was tiie invitation of two or three
dozsn of the requisitions , under a pro-text of a preliminary meeting , pr .-. para-. ory to a public one , who met on Monday , the l " i . h ni .-t . When Mr . A . llislop , ex-bailke , was called to the chair . The Chairman said sometniHg like tiie failowiiu » . " Weil , Gentlemen , I suppose ye a' ken what yere a' here about ; it is in oruer to get up a petition about the Corn Laws . " He took out a letter , and read it to the meeting , which he had got < xpress from Glasgow that morning ; it was from Mr . Murray , Com Law Secretary ,-which urged him to » : t up a meeting , and to procure as ma . iv signatures as possible . The letter also contained the drait oi a petition , and he was anxious the meeting would adopt . After a good deal of desultory conversation about a general
meeting in term 3 of the requisition , Dr . Suirley reminded the meeting that a number of g-.-iulemeu had met in Edinburgh fur the same purp ;> -e , unJ were annoyed by a set ef fellows ( meaning the Chartists ) who were so impertinent as almost to push tho chairman from tho chair . When the Learned Doctor had concluded his luminous sneecli the chairman advi . s > d them to take Doctor Shirley ' s advice , adding , if you had been at a meeting that I attended' ia the W est Church , when Mr . Gillon was here , you would not think of calling any more public meetings . The Chairman seems to have had a vivid recollection ot
the signal defeat which they sustained in December , 1838 , when the Chartists carried a vote of want of confidence in Mr . Gillon , M . P . iu a meeting called by the Whigs themselves , although they were assisted by a Tory justice of the peace . Mr . J . Cunningham stated that they had nothing to fear from uie Chartists , for they had sufficient moral power to rfn them down . Notwithstanding , the Chairman proposed " That this meeting adop the Glasgow petitbn presently , and have no more meetings about , it . * ' Seconded by Dr . Shirley . Mr . J . Simpson moied , " That we call a public meeting , in terms of the requisition . " Only two voted for the amendment
Mrs . Frost . —Mr . John Cieave desires us to say that he has received for Mrs . Frost tho following sums : —Mr . George Hall , late of Wakefisld , 2 s 6 d collected by F . Green , Is . 6 d . ; Air . G . Medley , Js [; J . Hentlev , Is . ; Maria Day , Gd . ; Brutus , 2 s . ( i .: Typo , 6 d . '
