      OLD PARR'S liAST WILL & TESTAMENT . A MOST singular document has recently been brought to Tight , and is now in the possession of the Rev . Wk . Aether , of East Peckham : it appears to have been written by the celebrated OLD PARR , who attained the almost incredible age of one hundred and fifty-two years , and who left this document to a relation : it is written on parchment , and although upwards of two hundred years old is in an excellent state of preservation . The following is an extract : — "These do certifie yt ye undermentioned is ye method of preserving health , which by ye grace of Almighty God Las canaed me to attain to my miraculous old age . Albeit in my youth I was afflicted ivith ye Bloody Flux and King ' s Evil , but which ill left me by using some dayes ye herbs as herein written . " . Here follows the receipt : — " Moreover , I bequeath to my Beoond Great Grandson ye method I employ for preparing ye medicament . Given this day , and in ye H 7 th y « ax of mj " * ' w Thomas PjlW " Wilmington , Salop , Januarie 17 th , 1630 . " This singular character was the oldest man . with one exception , that England ever produced : his biographer says , " the days of his yonth , aocording to his own account , was a series of long and painful i ]) rvft < m , but that by some secret means he eared himself , and was stronger than most men when he

      married his first wife , which be did at the advanced age of eighty-eight ; he again marked at the amazing age of one hundred and twenty ; * * one hundred and thirty h » used to thresh eora , and c » o any laborious work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens of England . , Parr spent much of his time in the study O » r * vegetable world , and has fortunately left bebtcd him , though long hid to the world , the valuable fruitB of his labours . Besides the valuable receipt from which Parr ' s Pills are now compounded , there are several MSS ., pieces written in hiB old quaint style , on tb . 3 value of health ; his opinions , though som ewhat difFeren t ] y expressed , were that the varieties of clime and modes of living make but little difference to our period of existence—that the laws of nature are simple tmd easily understood , but they require perfect obedience .

      The Clergyman who holds the valuable document abovementioned , has , by the assistance of a very able chemist and physician , caused the receipt of Old Parr ' s to be made into Pills , aud although only a space cf eighteen months have elapsed since the trial , upwards of seven hundred cures have been effected ; more than one-half were considered incurable ; and what i& more remarkable , cases which possess the very opposites as regards outward symptoms : the balsamic and invigorating effects on the blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds for

      years have been so speedily re-invigorated with an infusion of new blood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incurable , is looked upon as the greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous age . The whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves , sinews , muscles , and even solid bone ; this being the case , the grand object is to keep this preoious fluid ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without this purity disease will show itself in some way or other .

      Cases of every description have all been cured simply by the use of Parr's Life Pills , thus showing that what has been considered different disorders , and reu'iirijig different treatment , all originated in the sarie cause , and cau be cured by one uniform treatment . Although powerful in conquering disease , they are as puro and harmless ag new milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid / huwever weakly from long ili health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health , namely , good appetite , pound sleep , and an increase of animal spirits . To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out aud curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research aud a thorough knowledge of his subject .

      This Medicine is sold , byappointment , by Edwards , St . Paul ' s Church Yard , London , in Boxe 3 , at Is . l ^ d ., 2 s . 9 d ., and Family Boxes , 11 s . each ; the Boxes at 2 s . 9 d . are equal to three small , and those at 11 s . equal to five at 2 s . 9 d .

PERRY and CO ., Surgeons , No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , and given gratis with each Box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box , containing a full description of the above complaint , illustrated by Engravings , shewing the different stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practical directions for an effectual and Bpeedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and safety , without the aid of Medical assistance .

      Perry ' B Purifying Specific Pills , prica 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry on the side of each wrapper ) which 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 Gonorrhasa , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of ths Urinary Passages , without loss of 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 Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in a 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 painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . P « rry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal taint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified uee of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an autidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to

      saturate vheir system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are anrmally either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to reader the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results 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 aud 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 enjoymetns 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 fact that thousands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiteratemen , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of 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 limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and No . 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Only one personal visit is required from a country patient to enable Messrs . Perry and Co . to give such advice a 3 will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , after all other means have proved ineffectual . Letters for advice must be post-paid , and contain the usualfee of one pound . THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is now universally established as a remedy of great efficacy . It is possessed of the most invigorating powers ; warming and cheering the spirits , and promoting digestion . It is an excellent remedy for nervous , hypocondriac , consumptive , and female complaints , lassitude , and weakness arising from juvenile imprudencies .

      Shipwreck . —The barque City of Edinburgh , bound from London to Sydney with passengers and a general cargo , was wrecked off Flinder ' a Island , in July . The vessel and cargo were destroyed , but no lives lost . Fatal Accident . —On Thursday , in last week , the painters employed in repairing and beautifying the palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury , repaired to their work as usual . Most of them had been out holiday-making the previous night , and had not had any rest : owing to the intensity of the cold , they heated a large pan of charcoal in the room in which they

      were at work , and during the morning several of them fell asletp . Between eleven and twelve o ' clock the foreman discovered them , but the fumes were so overpowering that it seriously affected the breath , the doors havins been closed for a considerable length of time . It was with the utmost difficulty that the men could be roused , and two of them were apparently lifeless . Two medical gentlemen were promptly in attendance , who adopted such measures as they thought expedient , and , after the lapse of some tune , one of them was restored to sensibility ; but all human efforts proved unavailing with the other , life being quite extinct .

      NICE DOINGS OF THE HULL POLICE OFFICERS . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —As your paper is truly the people ' s paper , and is devoted to the exposure of abuses , wherever they exist ! 1 trust you will give insertion to the following statement , and allow me to put a few questions to certain parties , maintained at the public expence , whose misdoings the local press , both Whig and Tory , refuse to bring before the puWic eye : —We have in our police force a sergeant , who was , before he got his present

      office , coachman to one of the liberal magistrates of this Borough , from which service he was dismissed as incompetent , on account of his intemperate habits . To support this petty despot in his tyrannical and disgusting pranks , I , in common with my brother ratepayers , am annually taxed in a good round sum ; and , as I think that he who pays is the master , and he who gets his wages is the servant , and as it is on all hands allowed that the servant is accountable to the master for the way in which he discharges his duties , I , as one of the masturs of this sergeant , take the liberty of asking him the following questions : —

      First—Did notSmithson , No . 49 , tako out of a box locker , in the house of Blith , in Chafer ' s Alley , twentyfive sovereigns , at the time of the said Blith's apprehension on a charge of felony 7 Second—Did not he take the said money from No . 49 , contrary to law ; it being required that the person who finds stolen property , or what is suspected of being stolen , shall produce the same iu Court on the trial ? Third—Did not he swear at Beveriey that he took the money out of the box , and was not this an attempt , by wilful perjury , to rob No . 49 , of the credit due to his vigilance , and to represent his own exertions in a light which was not warranted by the facts of the case ? Fourth—Has not he , in more instances than one , been found drunk when on duty ; and has he not been shielded from the consequences by friends in high places ?

      Fifth—Did not he , on a late occasion , with one of the force , go to a beer-shop , kept by one Coverdale , on the Beveriey road , against whom he had a spite , for the purpose of g « tting him into trouble , and , finding the door closed , did he not open the window , which the inmates had neglected to secure , and enter the house without giving any previous alarm , and force his way into the chamber where Coverdale and his wife were sleeping , and when they sprung up , on account of the noise in the room , did he not flash his lantern full upon them , and make use of indecent language ; and is not Coverdale afraid to bring him before his superiors lest he should be injured in his business T Sixth—Was not a statement of the facts relative to this affair of Coverdale ' s sent to three of the Hull papers , and , instead of being published , banded over to the accused Sergeant , and by him and the reporters consigned to forgetfutness ?

      If the above questions con be satisfactorilyanswered , let them be so ; if not , then , as one of those who have to pay the piper , I call upon the Watch Committee to institute the necessary enquiries , and dismiss this unworthy official from the situation he holds . Before I conclude , 1 wish to ask Inspector Cudworth if it be true , as stated , that he swore at Beveriey , that he took four geese from George Richardson , who had stolen them at South-lane , when in fact , they were taken from him by Sergeant Dosaon , who took him into custody , and who is thus deprived of the credit ? I have been told that the proper course is , to bring a complaint before the Watch Committee—to that I-have two objections , one is , that the Committee are Whigs ; and the other is , that with the men in authority , the delinquents are favourites ; any complaints , therefore , against them , would produce no really beneficial result . But the press will make the public acquainted with the matter , and that may lead to an efficient investigation .

      All I ask , is , that these plain question * may be plainly answered . Justice to all parties , is all I seek . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , A Hull Ratepayer . Hull , Jan . 8 , 1841 .

      last , a poor destitute young man named Johnson , was arrested at Leeds , for begging ; his only alternative between starvation or stealing . For this ( legal-vagrancy ) he tnu committed to Wakefield House of Correction . When he arrived at his destination , he was clad in the prison dresa , the jacket of which was numbered 449 . Unfortunately the poor fellow was subject to fits , and though this waa quite well known ; yet he was ordered to the tread mill , the wheel of which is so constructed that If from any cause a man should lose his hold , be fa sure to be pitched on his head , from a height of twelve or fourteen feet Notwithstanding this , the poor wretch was compelled to mount , and as might have been , and there can be little doubt was , expected , he had not been long on until he uttered a pitiful scream , was seized with a fit , and fell ; whether on his head or not I am not certain , I happening to bs in a room called the

      mop room at the time . They certainly did pick him up , and brought him into the room in a state of complete exhaustion . Hod the poor fellow then expired , we should probably have heard that a ' Coroner ' s Jury " bad " sat npon the body , " and returned , as their verdict , Died in a lit of apoplexy , " or " Died by the visitation of God ; " yet , under such circumstances , Would not strict justice have required a verdict of wilful and deliberate murder against the governor , Shepherd , and the officers concerned ? Although even in Wakefleld Hell , where all are wretched , and sought to t » brutalized , there may have been hardened convicted crirainala , yet I think there were none So lost to feeling , as the unconvicted criminals -who were guilty of the conduct described . There were many whose hearts would bleed in secret at such a sight , but not a man even under such circumstances , durst quit his seat without first obtaining- leave of the officers .

      A statement like the foregoing might be doubtei , if resting upon my unsupported testimony ; but to place it beyond doubt , I took a shopkeeper afterwards to the lodgings of the poor victim , and from his own lips , took the statement which I have given you . But I have seen others , afflicted like Johnson , with fits , who , when they fell from their seats , were seiaed and dragged about in a brutal manner by one of Shepherd's spies , called an " officer . " As my time drew to a close , I determined to look about me and commit to memory some of the villanies that daily took place . I accordingly watched their dealings with a poor idiot lad . No . 237 , who sat in front of me ; he was first sent for three days to solitary confinement , for looking about him , or some such petty offence . After this he became quite sullen , and not being able to sit up , kept placing his head between bis knees through weakness . While in this state , a little

      lad , who sat near him , having been released from the solitary cell , and being very hungry , made signals to the poor idiot for a piece of bread , which the latter immediately gave to his fellow-sufferer . For this act of humanity the idiot boy was taken and again put into solitary confinement for three days . This sort of punishment was continued till the lad could not , through weakness , sit upright ; he was then placed on the doctor ' s list , to be strengthened with drugs . Lest this statement should be denied by the kind and faithful Shepherd , I mentioned the matter to the chaplain , gave him the lad ' s number , and begged him to interfere , but whether he did so or not , I cannot tell . In this manner , there are hundreds of unfortunate beings now treated in her Majesty ' s prisons . They dare not complain , that would be an additional offence . " Oh ! but there are visiting magistrates , why do they not complain to them ! " I will tell you why in my next In the meantime .

      I am , Mr . Editor , Yours , &c . George White

      THIRD LETTER TO THE QUEEN . " Cover your heads , and mock not flesh and blood With solemn reverence ; throw away Respect , Tradition , f orm , and ceremonious duty , For you have but mistook me all this while . " Shakspeare . It was left to chance whether the King of Hanover or you , Madam , should reign over us . Chanc 9 decided in your favour , and , I will say , in ours . But ought the ruler of a mighty nation to be a come-by-chance ? Does this befit the most reasoning people on earth T Hereditary monarchy is a chance-monarchy : our chapter of kings is a chapter of chances , or , rather , of mischances :

      like little children we have closed our eyes and taken what chance sent us . Chance crowned you , and whether you had a knowledge of good , or ot evil , or none at all , it was all the same to chance . We referred our misery , or happiness , to chance ; chance drew the lot for us ; it turned up a painted queen , a trump for the Whig gamblers , -who won . us from the Tories ; for we win nothing— we are but the stake that is played for . But , by such negation ot ourselves , do we not confess that we have no judgment ; that we are mere stocks and stones , heritable property ; that we have no choice and no concern in the matter ; that it is of no moment to us who or what is king ? We do not leave our other affairs to chance ; and yet this , the most

      important of alJ , since it materially affects , if it does not dispose of the rest , is left to a kind of predestination , without election , a fate in which we have no will . What is the consequence ? The chance-made king deems himself chosen of God and irresponsible to man . The land is his by divine heirship , and we that are upon it : —all is his own , and be has a right to do what he likes with his own . ' What does he like ?—Judging from the fact , he likes to plague his people , and te play the devil ; as if God , who made the earth , and saw that it was good and fit for the happiness of man , had sent a king to make a hell of his nether paradise . Let us pursue this subject a little further .

      Take the first girl you meet—she may be seeking her father ' s asses , for thus was the lad Saul employed when a priest anointed him the first king of the Jews—choose her by chance , if I may so speak—seat her on a stool called a throne—put a stick into her hand called a sceptre—a cap , called a crown , upon her head—let old men , dressed like women , and called bishops , pour oil on her hair—and fooJs in fine clothes , lords and ladies , bow the knee to her as they pass—let great officers who , if the size of their salaries be an indication of their usefulness , are very important personages indeed , give her long wands , or swords , or

      knick-nacks , that they may immediately receive them from her again—let all the people hDzza at the sight of those monkey-mummeries , and hail her , their queen , with cries of long life to her ? Let her be taught to say we when speaking of herself , and our when speaking of us—give her all power , and honour , and dominion , with ample means to maintain it all—let it , on all occasions , be said to her , that the safety of all her subjects depends upon her , who , poor thing ! c * uld not save herself from any one of them — above all , regard her as God ' s visible head upon earth .

      Now , what effect would all this admirable foolery have upon her ? Would it not turn her head , and case her heart in pride ? Would she not , like poor Christopher Sly , be overcome by the well-acted farce around , forget herself , and queen it , in the vulgar sense ef the word ? Would she not , even if previously fit for empire , be rendered unfit ? In short , would she not live in a dream ? And what could awake her . ' Truth ! but that she would never hear . Disease t aye , that alone could cure her . Then might she say to her idolaters" I live with bread like you—feel want , taste grief , Need friends—subjected thus ,

      How can you say to me—I am a Queen . ' " Time , death , these would still exercise over her a power more arbitrary than that which she was permitted to exercise over her meanest subjects . Now , il would be worth while making a queen , and maintaining her at all this cost , if we csuld exalt the creature so made above the ills of mortality ; or if she could exempt us from them . But it is spent in vain , worse than vain , when , by making a queen , we unmake a woman , corrupt a Christian , and , not herself alone , but all who pay court to her and kiss her hand for favours

      unworthily bestowed , honours unmerited . Formerly the kings and queens of England arrogated miraculous power . This had been something ; but , like all the rest , it was a mere mockery . I believe that good Queen Anne was the last that was persuaded she possessed it She touched Dr . Johnson to cure him of king ' s evil . but the poor doctor did not get rid of it , but with his life . The sovereign people have been long degraded and tormented by this disease , and they alone can cure themselves ; this must be done by touching you for it

      Madam , you are styled the nursing-mother of your people . John Bull is a great baby to be still at nurse ; and I think you may reasonably be afraid that he will some day Boon leap out of your little arms . A nursing-mother ! yes , I trust you are literally so now , and that , while you gaaewith maternal fondness on the b » be that milks you , you sometimes think ef the many mothers who smile to see their babies die , thunUn g God , that there will be one slave the less . You do not know , hut you should know , that though your state may be as sweet to you as sugar , it is procured for you by similar tasks , at the expence of similar tortures . The labour tl white slaves is not less toilsome , not less lu vain a * to themselves , than that of black slaves , and their wrongs are greater , because thete delations are to . Bat the Injury to individuals is the

      Untitled Article

      least evil induced by your state '; the deplorable aacri * flees of talents and virtues to vices and folliei is of far greater consequence . A queen should herself be % personification of troth and justice ; but , if tbre possession of these attributes were made , as fat wisdom they ought to be , an iadispensibla requisite in the possessor of power , would you no 4 be compelled to put off your royal robes , and to give place to many of 4 be daughters , even of your poorest subjects f ^

      What do the people receive in return for depriving themselves of all to give to you ?—Ingratitude ! You seem to think that they can never do enough for yen , and that you cannot neglect and make them suffer too much . They defray the cost of your court , and the Court Circular is weekly published for them to read . From it they have the satisfaction to learn that , while they are . destitute of food , clothing , and saving know > ledge—while they are driven to sell their souls for the support of their bodies , you are treating jour prime favourite to a sumptuous banquet , or presenting him with a splendid piece of plate—L » rd John is out a

      shooting—Palmerston paying a visit to some noble lord in the country , where the entertainments are on a grand scale , and Lord Norman by ' s game hand is not yet healed . This is all they get for all they give honesty is weighed with policy and found wanting—a systematic attempt is made to destroy the national spirit , and all sense of honour , wherever it exists . Political rakes rule by trick , not principle , and having no virtues to exhibit for admiration , strive to gam sympathy by a pitiful reiteration of those diseases

      which their own excesses have brought on . Etiquette is all in all ; but the people have sworn by the woes of the wives whom they vowed to God to cherish by the wants of the children whom they regard with fraternal fear , not hope , and by their own wants and woes , compounded of both , they have sworn to God" Never , while breath of life shall live . Within them , never to forgive The accursed race , whose ruthless chain Hath left on Britain ' s neck a Stain Blood , blood , alone , can cleanse again !"

      It is enough , methinks , to be subject to the inevitable evils of life , without those superinduced and aggravating wrongs which bad governors inflict . Fancying that you were placed above them by Providence for their welfare , and kept by them for their honour and happiness , the poor people have lately petitioned you again and again for redress , alleviation , or , at least , for mercy on the friends who have been cruelly treated for pitying them , but no answer could be obtained . How can you feel for them ! If one in your own rank were suffering , you would sympathise ; but the people are far beneath you—they are beyond the pale of your regard . Should any of their petitions

      reach you , you must need an interpreter , and those around you , who declare that you ar © » blessing and a glory , and who prevent the horizon of your view from extending beyond them , will represent the petitioners as disaffected , and will readily be believed . You see nothing but luxuries and smiling faces—bow can there be poverty and discontent in the land 1 Besides , you patronise charitable institutions—what more can be expected from y « u ? This more , ma ' am—that the people have an opportunity allowed them of earning an honest livelihood . They are too proud to depend on yon , as you do on them ; but if they were dependant , they would not be ashamed of owning it , as you are .

      The people have begged in vain for justice ; they will not demand it in vain . They cannot comprehend why it is that their usefulness should be so useless to themselves , and that if you have the benefits of their usefulness , they should find you so useless to them . But yon are so situated that the follies or faults of fashion ( follies become faults when unseasonable ) are of more interest to you than the well-being of the people . Your Ministers make a footstool of the nation and a plaything of you : Lord Melbourne , by good-humoured freedom , spiced with eccentricity , has made himself yonr favourite and your master .

      The foreigner , too , -whom you married , mast be pleased at the expence of the people . While many native English are dying of hunger , their last groans prevented from reaching your ears by music and dancing , large tracts of land are allotted for the preservation of game and foxes , that the Prince , yoar husband , may always find good sport in hunting and shooting . The famishing people are told that population increases too fast for support at home , and that ? they mart emigrate to make room for Germans . Now , it is one of the fights of man to convert waste land to his use-But what would then become of Prince Albert ' s rabbite

      that breed for foxes . Monkeys and dogs live in the Palace , and are fed from the Royal table , which the people furnish forth , but are not allowed to taste , to touch , or to see . Horses have palaces reared for them , but the people are denied both mental and bedily food—are deprived of it . So corrupt is your courtso servile the senate , that I verily believe you might outdo Caligula , and crown a monkey King . The Lorda would" sacrifice the people to you , but do you sacrifice the Lords : do not be worse than Tiberias , who said that the senate me t hia wishes to enslave them , but that he wished the people to be as free as their own thoughts .

      In your name , your Ministers prosecute those patriots who indeed ought to take their places , for they are an honour to humanity and the pride of the people They will yet redeem their country from the sea of inkinto which she has fallen . Your Ministers render you * name odious to shelter their own obnoxious names . They are the true traitors . You are employed by them to Bign the death-warrants of criminals whose crime were c * used by mal-administration , and you are instructed to honour and reward those who ought , indeed , to be disgraced and punished . The Queen of a Court prosecutes the men of the country , and a Parliament , not of the people , sanctions such abominations . Where are the knights of Chartist

      chivalrythe lovers of liberty—the restorers of rights—the redressors of wrongs » They have fallen into the traps set for them by law , and are now immured in stone cages . At York , we shall find the noble O'Connor ; at Lancaster , the bold OBrien ; the virtuous Vincent is at Oakham ; the judicious Williams and the heroic Binns are at Durham , with many others in various places . The excellent M'Douall was recently of Chester Castle ; the philanthropic Lovett and Collins ot Warwickj and the manly White was a victim in Wakefield ; far over the sea , the humane Frost is tortured in exile . I might easily extend this list of men worthy to be legislators for a new and happier era . Why aie they not your counsellors 1

      Posterity will wonder , not that a female Sovereign and her effeminate Ministers thus disgraced themselves ] but that the nation permitted itself to be so disgraced by a weak and corrupt Government . But , alaal effeminancy , like the sirocco , has gone through the land , and softened the spirits ef all the people , of all except the honest Chartists , who , alone , are worthy to be called the people—they alone are the sons « f Britain . All others are aliens in their own land—they love it not .

      You call on the people , who must mourn your reign , to rejoice at the birth of a successor . The Bishops bless it ; but their blessings are ominous . The people are silent John Bull must be coaxed or cowed . So long as his pasture is good , he may be kept quiet—he may be cajoled ; but a lean pasture makes him rage and roar . What , then ? he is not to be fed , but to be baited ; soldiers , whose red coats vex his eyes , are sent to restrain him , but they inflame him more . Lords and ladies , out of danger , enjoy the fight , and reward with applause the policemen who are most skilful in provoking and eluding his fury . What squibs are thrust into his sides to madden him ! In Spain , the spectacle is reserved for grand occasions , but in England it is constant .

      i now conclude these epistles , -which , I am sorry to think , will be more likely to please the people than you ; but to the sovereignty ot the people I pay my loyalty , not te yours . Think not , Madam , that a . true-bom Englishman can own allegiance to a Sovereign who is weakly governed by favourites that are no friends to the people , and who make her an object , not so much of pity , as » f contempt . Such creatures ought not to be suffered to exist , much less to govern as . I will not , at least , voluntarily Bubmit to them ; -whoever allow theii names to be classed as slaves , or even as subjects , under the debasing sway of a girl-Queen and a bedchamber Ministry , I beg that an exception be made in favour of JUNIUS RX 7 STICC 9 .
