      OLD PARC'S Z . XFE FXX&S . HP HE READERS of the Norther * Slur are A particularly requested to read airefuliy the following account of the BENEFICIAL EFFECTS o f PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester and the Neighbourhood : — The following facts have been mentioned to Mr . J . - -F . Winks , the Agentfor PARR'S LJFiS PJLLS , in Leicester , who has preserved the name aud residence of each of the parties , which he ia ready to produce : — J . C— , Oxford-street , Leicester , aged 44 , had been ill two years , of a kind of influenza . . ' ? iie club surgeon said he was in a consumption , and would never recover . He began to take these PiL' s three months ago , previous to which he had been or . fined to his bod six months . The Fills first brought ; awav 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 He called again afterwards , and begged that his name might not be published , as it might offend the club doctor .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 T . B , in FJeet-street , had been in a low way for some time ; she took the Pills regularly , and soon found her spirits more cheerful ; and her ' sight and hearing , which had been affected , were improved . She said they were pleasant to take , not causing a sickly feeling , or giving the least pain . H . E . Chatham-street , is a mender in a warehouse . Had been much afflicted for several years , and not able to do more than two hours work in a day . She took the Pills , and soon was improved in health , and could see much better . She now works her regular hours . R . H -, of Bagwortb , fead been long subject to palpitation of the heart , and could not walk uphill . Had the advice of an eminent physician in Leicester , but waa not better till he took these Pills , but now is quite-recovered . The wife of J . F—— , at the same place , was so tormented with a cough , that she could not sleep . She had taken the Pills , which had done her , her husband eaid , a " world of good . " R . V—— , o £ fitij | rtnre , had been ilHive years of palpitation of the heart . Had been in the Infirmary , and under Beveral physicians and surgeons . Has been gradually improving since he took these Pills , and ia now able to work . Mrs . T- —— , of Whetstone , had found them very beneficial for the scrofula . FB 0 H MB . CLARKE , OF PETERBOROUGH . Peterborough , March 27 , 1841 . "Gentlemen , —During the last forinight 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 scorbutio complaint , stated , that he felt certain from the good they Lad already done him , that if he could only remain quietly at homo , instead of being obliged to go to work , they wonld completely cure him . Another person who had a bad knee , said that they had done her more good than all the doctors . Iu 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 the world it does not , I could with ease obtain a dozen more such oases , with the names and addresses of the parties . " I remain , GenJlemcn , " ¦ Yours respectfully , rt J . S . CLARKE . " Spring and Fall . —The Bprin # aud fail of the leaf have been always remarked &s periods when disease , if it be lurking in the system , is sure to shew itself . The coldness of winter renders torpid tho acrimonious fluids of the body , and in this state of inactivity their evil to the fcysiem 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 system is contaminated . These pills taken throe every night for two or three weeks will rid tho body of all that is noxious , and produce health and comfort . Persons troubled with scorbutic aifections arc strongly advised to try them at this time of tho year ; in a few days , they will perceive the powerful clearing properties they possess , and thus be induced to continue them . Recently , a remarkable case where a gentleman was bo dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic disorder as to be quite unsightly , by a patient undeviating course of these pills , 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 tJie 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 ; theso will clear off sour and bad humours , which heat invariably generates . The liver , which generally gets sluggish , will be put into healthy action , and ihna be able to perform tho functions allotted to it ; the body altogether -will be re-invigorated , and prepared to undergo whatever change tho whiter may bring on . Many other cases have been mentioned by persons who have purchased tho Pills . Indeed , the very extensive and increasing sale of this useful Medicine , is the best proof that can be desired how highly it is appreciated , ; Sold by most respectable Medicine Venders , in -B ( M « w * fr-la . I ^ vl ., 2 « . fli , « idJ , i 3 . AIist _ of Ageut 3 , and further proofs of tho value of this Medicine may be 6 een iu another pace of the Northvrn Star .

      THE CONVENTION . Tbz Mter of Bcssxtt to O'Coitsob , which we gisdJy publish elsewhere , with the satisfactory reply is is , is of great importance ; and , even at sbe expence <{ being considered " despotic , " ve would most flKBe 5 tly urge upon the- country the propriety of aetnig upon the wise suggestion contained in Brxjm ' s letter;—a suggestion which has been also Bade to us by several correspondents . In fact , naa week , or one half of the whole time would ba lost , -were the delegates to meet isr ^ g Easter week , and in the absence of the delegate to tbe other House . HoweTer the delay it cot of any further importance than the additional -taw wHch i ; afords for the signatures of

      peti-Ii is quite true that if the delegates met in London < m the I 2 ih , they would leave just as their business weald bs about to commence , Iu the meantime let the petition shaet 3 be signed , and in wr Dext we will give the addresses of several H . P . 's , to whom they maf be sent free , and by vrhoai they can be banded to the Committee ; for , be r , remembered , that petitions only go free when addressed to Members of Parliament .

      Tns-srhole country is alive to the vital importance Of this ihort but feTerisii Convention . We regret to learn that Mr . Lovett has declined making one of the delegates to wait upon , the Qieen ; we sincerely wish his dHiclinatioB had been sooner notified to fee country ; however , application , we understand , ios been nade to ifr . Pitxethlt to fill the gap , * nd that genilemtn , we mast say , never refuses his terrices wia they can be of use to the people .

      It will be a most important event , —the presentat ion of those addresses to the Q , ueen , by honest and fcdtstrioas men ; greater , far greater , than the people appear to imagine ; and Lord Xorsunbt can 2 « refuse to present them , though not Peers . True , t , r » ciirt regulation has been made to meet this Tery case , to the effect , that not a word shall be spoken to annoy Majesty with her people ' s eoaipkinis upon the presentation of their odious grievances . But let it all work . Of course , Lwkdon will be on the tiptoe to learn the result , as Joh 5 Bnx is becoming very caiions of late abom fci ; own aSairs .

      We r ^ e , most cordially , to recommend the perusal rf O'Beiets letter , and especially the concluding potion , to all those who look for strength by an nn-Mtarai union . We think he settles the ques-Sob atoace , at least to our sau 3 faction , if we had a sliadoTT cf a doubt before , which , however , we todaoi .

This gentleman , who fills the above office , has been receiving £ 210 per year for bis services ; yet hia philosophy wa 3 such as that the scavengers in tfao stre 2 t 3 should be reduced from one shilling -per day to sixpence . The ratepayers , improving on ibis man ' s own economy , thought he might do himseli with Jess ihau £ 4 per week . Mr . J . Hainer proposed he should have £ 70 for coJlectin ^ ,

      allowing him another office , for which be would receive £ 50 . Mr . Peter Chappell moved , as an amendment , that he receive only £ 100 , and that lie devote all his time to hi 3 office . Mr . Cuppoek , town clerk , proposed that he receive the original salary . ( A vwee , * " One great sineenrist is sure to snpport another .

      K liWC ASTZiE . —ACSEW IN NFftTASTLE . — This asmtiy humbug , who we had thought had for ever retired fr « m afflicting ecciety wita his Mawworai cant , actuallj had the effrontery to sppear before a Newcastle andience on Tnesday las ; , iu support of his b « uer Sal / bath Observance Bill . Tbc knov ? l « dge of tbi 3 intended visit from the illustrious samt was intended to have been confined to those who were already inoculated with the same canting and intolerant spirit . >> ' o placards were issued , but the fact was communicated from various chapels , churches , and conventicles , that 0 RTu 3 sday evenirg a farce of a public , prirats , sectarian meeting , wou'd be performed in the Scorch Church . The fact howevnr , did ; raEspire , and became known to the fues of

      humbug , cant , and hypocrisy , and accordingly the chapel of Mr . Lockhart was crammed to excess . Aaron Chapman , Efq ., w&s called to the chair , and permitted u > take it witbent opposition , an error in tactics on the pait of the people , ihe consequences of which were «> on made evident . After a drawling puritanical address from him , and a bit of special pjeading from the Rev . J . Lockhart , the great gun , Sir A . Agnew , was introduced to the meeting by the Chairman . Thi 3 was the first time we had an opportunity of seeing the Hon . Bart ., and we could no : help exclaiming that the man seemed Sued for the creed- ; for a more miserable , weak , drivelling , cantii ! g , hjpocrital form , f ^ , aiid tone , vre have never witntssed . There was evidently a disposition to treat

      him with a geaeral laugh , but this was iu pity to the poor-wretch suppressed , and ha wa . 8 quietly permitted to deliver the most miserable , inane address it b& 3 ever been our misfortune to hear . At the close uf his address , ihe saints addressed the meeting , but no resojoiipzis appeared to be coining . The humbugs evidently deemed discretion the better part of ralour , and a , i the close of the harangue the CkaLman rose to annoence ihat the meeting was concluded ; this immediately brought sp Mr . Lowery , who had bVea waitmg for the opportunity . He was received with great cheering from his friends , and hissing from the saints . Having , however , extorted from the Chairman an admission that the meeting was & public one , he , accompanied by Mr . Williams , advanced to the platform , and boldly took up a position beside the saintly orators . He derterou » ly succeeded in obtaining the ear of the saints for a ftw minutes , and succeeded in giving them some

      heavy hits , but they would not stand it longer . Mr . Williams then came forward , and then a scene qf the most indescribable confusion was displayed . Every attempt was made to put him down , but wilhcut effect . He maintain * d his ground , and having got leave to speak for five minutes , proceeded to expose the arguments and perversions of Scrpiffre in which the saints had indulged ; but the moment that these saw what was coming—that the fi iusy fabric they had spun was about to be torn to shreda , they hissed and hooted most inveterateiy , until it was impossible to be heard . Mr . Williams , bowevrr / boldly challenged the priests and Sir A . Aguew himself to a public discussion of the question . The caallenf e was not accepted , although the previous speakers had repeatedly expressed their readiness and ability to maintain their position . The Chairman called for thanks for Sir Andrew , and Mr . Williams called for ihe thanks of the meeting to

      Mr . Lowery . Both motions were supported simultaneously , and the saints retired wofully disappointed . We venture to affirm that they will not dare to call a public meeting to submit their r * soi » - tions and petition to its approbation . —Correspondent HUDDEBSFtEXD .-On Thursday , the 25 th uh ., the Cora Law Repealers held their tea party in the Philosophical Hall , which they style public ; ' but , to show its publicity , how did they distribute the tickets ! Each member was allowed to sell a given number , with the understanding that no Chartist or Radical , waa to hare one at any price . Applications were made , and they were told , in plain terms , that if they would give a thousand

      guineas , they durst not let them have one . The Leaguers ( manufacturers ) gave to their meD , and stopped their works , to make np the grand demonstration . Not a single objection was ottered , and for why ! It was understood that if any Chartist should get in , and attempt to make any objections , three policemen were stationed to take them out ; and this some of the speakers declared wasthepublio opinion of the inhabitants of this town . No publio meeting is to take place , which shows they dare not test publio opinion . They have begun to hand their petitions round for signatures ; and so the farce of the Corn Law agitators will end in this neighbourhood .

      We hava received upon this subject the following letter amongst others : — Huddersfleld , March 29 , 1841 . DEA& SIR , —Will you be » kind as to favour me with a small portion of your valuable paper of Saturday next , to show to the working classes of England , and particularly those of the West Riding x > f the county of York , us to all appearances it is likely to be the Bcene of action by the expiring faction , what was the grand demonstration held in Huddersfleld on the 25 th of this month ? A tta party took place in the Philosophical Hall and so snug was it kept , that there wob bo publio announcement of it ; all was as still as death ; none but the members were allowed , or those upon whom they could depend , a single ticket for love or money .

      After tea , the public were admitted by—ticket ; yes , to this boasted public meeting , by—ticket ; and who obtained those tickets ? Hone but their own party ( Myself and my friend Jones waited upon them for tickets of admission after tea . Their reply was , No , Sir ; we could not give one for « thousand guineas . ' ,-. Hear this , ye working men ! behold a spwterett . of their nob ' . e generosity and love of fair play ; and after such unblushing conduct , to call it a publio meeting . Men of England , will you again be doped , deceived , and betrayed ?

      " No , no , a thousand times no !" And yet the press calls it a grand demonstration of laaster and operative ! Pshaw ! out upon't : and calls upon other large manufacturing towns to go and do likewise . Yes , for the masters to get up a tea party , to stop their factories , send their workmen , pack the meeting , and then coll them grand demonstrations . Further , upon putting a resolution in euch a meeting , to ask if any one has got anything to advance against it . Excellent , most excellent . ' A poor Chartist there , with two of their committee on one hand , and a policeman on the other , if any one dared to say anything , to place him in durance vile , for causing disturbance , as they are pleased to call it ; and yet call them public meetings , specious hypocrites !

      Now , then , for once and ail , ye pretended friends of the operatives . Tour chairman stated that the wide chasm which divided the working classes and the aati-Corn Law League , was ignorance ; that the opposition which the millions offered was through

      ignorance . I , in the name of the Chartists of Huddersfleld , do challenge you to public discussion , either paid lecturer to paid lecturer , or operative to operative , so that there can be no more cant about the ignorance of the millions upon this important subject ; and if ye flinch from this opportunity of removing this ignorance , tke brand will be npon your brow . Wotting men , think for yonrselves ; be not deceived by the fair promises of thelips , whilst there ' s gall at the heart Once have ye of lato been bit , beware of the fox . I remain , yours , ever truly , In the cause of free discussion , and a Chartist , Edward Clay .

      Election of Guabdians . —The humbug of electing Guardians under tho A " ew Poor Law has just terminated ; the minority clerk as returning officer , and the paid officers the tools to do the dirty work . Iu the townships where contests took place , the voting papers were made to suit their own purposes , and then brought to Huddersfield to go through a sham examiuatioQ . Such is the disgust amongst the ratepayers at thesham election 9 , that the greatest part returned their papers unfilled np .

      TO THE ADVOCATES OF DEMOCRACY . Friends , —It is with pain I take up my , alas , t « o feeble pen , to enlist your sympathy on the part of one who , I am persuaded , deserves well at your hands . Appeals have been so often made , that I fear your patience may lag , as I know yont means have , yet the urgent necessity of this case will plead my best excuse . f ..- ;• ¦ It will be withta the knowledge of most of you that David Roberta was indicted at Chester Spring Ass zos of lKp T for alleged illegal proceedings occurring in tint » wn of Stockport , during that crusade against siut Btroggl * for freedom , he suffered

      more than tongue can tell , morethan tongue rouBt tell : it is in the knowledge of tho writer of this appeal that dissatisfaction has been expressed by some of his Manchester friends aa to his conduct on that occasion , but for the satisfaction of those parties , let me assure them that , as I am wignlsant of the facts , which I will at » fltUBj } t&aelay lefore the public , nothing transpired at hi * bands whiCQ ; dees not redound to his honour as a man and as » patriot I shall at once , holding myself responsible fur the safe keeping of his disclosure , at least during , I fear , his brief term of life , pass to the caw in point

      He came amongst us here , in Liverpool , soon after I bad made my necessitous settlement ; since that time be has fearlessly , upon ail occasions , stood foremost in advocacy of the " whole Charter . * He , with others , has been persecuted here for such advocacy , until I find his dse standing as follows : — On my hist visit to him ( this night ) I saw a sludowy personification of my friend reclined upon the bed foot , a masterpiece of woo and wreck , tv distinct representation of man in his nearly dissolving moment . "George , is that thee ? " uttered a croaking voice , ( which too fearfully betrayed the ravages within , ) when faint voice from the upper end of the : bed , " one of

      those attuned to heaven , " interrupted my reply to his salutation , with " Oh , David ! " I had to waive my answer to hia kind inquiry , and repeat loudly , BiUCfl he was deaf , his wife ' s cry of affection mingled with despair ; he asked her wish ; her re-ejaculation was , " Oh , Divid , my head is buiBting ; " when with tenderness aad Spartan Stoicism mingled , he replied , "Well , my dear , it must be borne , George has called again . " " Lloyd , " she said , in a kind of hysteric excitation , " what shall I do . one eye has , I fear , already gone , I cannot bear the light with the other ? " She had for soino time laboured under severe inflammation about tho head .

      I can only add , that surcharged with commiseration for their condition , I resolved to address this simple statement of facts to the Radical publio , guaranteeing them that the Radicals of Liverpool have dono all they can to meet the immediate needs of this case ; yet , as bis talented medical adviser states that what conies under the denomination of luxuries can alone prolong life , or restore vigour , I call upon you to aid in the good work of restoring a useful man to our ranks .
