      TO MR . PROUT , 229 , STRAND , LONDON . Hawley , near Bagshot , Jau . 11 , 1841 . SIR , —It is now twelve months since I made you acquainted with the very extraordinary benefit I have derived by taking Blair ' 8 Gout and Rheumatic Pills , which were kindly recommended to me by Major Birch , of Crondale , near Farnham , who humanely came to my house to take my affidavit , that I might receive my half-pay , being then laid up with one of my serious attacks . I then forwarded to you the Garrison Order by whioh I was invalided home from Newfoundland after many years of great further

      Two remarkable cases ( selected from many others ) communicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull . Mr . Plaxton , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , had long been afflicted with a most severe internal diseas * . So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at hand to release him from his suflerings . For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all , evrn being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s Pil . B , " purchased a small box for him , and on his calling for a second box , he told me that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one box , he 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 . Shaw , wife of Mr . Shaw , yeast dealer , had been for a great length of time afflicted with a severe internal disease . To use his own expression , " p tying 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 , and two more boxes have cured her . Sheas as well as she ever was in her life .

      EDINBURGH . —The monthly meeting of the Edinburgh Charter Association was heW in Whitfield Cbipel , ob Wednesday , the 3 rd inst ., Mr . loses in the chair ; the secretary read the minutes of committee for the Us . monih , which were ap * jwred of . The treasurer then read his balancesheet , which showed that the association was clear of deb ; and some funds on hand . Some arraBgements were then entered into respecting a meeting « f delegates from all parts of the eouinyof Edinfeurgli , trhen it ma resolved tba * the mseiing ttfce place in Edinburgh , on Monday , the twenty-third of August , at three o'clock , p . m ., and that Ltnlitbgow and Bathtate be requested to send delegates to ihe

      said meeting . A fall attendance will be very desirable as the business will be to consider plan 3 for the better organization of the county , a lecturer fer the « mnfy , and also a monthly periodical . The -cause ia in reality progressing here . Great pr&iBe is dne to the friends in the country , as it has been mainly through them that this meeting was got up . The spirit of agitation is roused , and nothing bat a compliance with the just demand of the people will quell it . Ersrj quarter of the county is cryiug kmdiy for » lecturer , who can give them that most important ingredient for the suece > 3 of the cause , political knowledge . We hare no doubt bat that Edinburgh will yet take its stand among the fore-Biost in the struggle .

      ABERDEEN . —At the regular weekly meeting on Monday , after the transaction of tk « ordinary business , it was unAnissoasly resolved , ea the motion of DiTid Wright , * That it is the opinion of the Charter Union , that the conduct of Arthur O'Neil and John Collins , at the late anti-Corn Law meeting in Birmingham , is highly censurable , and proves them to be unworthy of the confidence of every true son of liberty . " [ This was receded too late for our lastj ATiKXftTTDBXft , Vale op Leyex . —On Wednesday evening , an address was given in the streets of tbiplace , by Mi . Wm . Thomas-son . The principles of Universal Suffrage and the Charter were argued ¦ with thrilling effect by the speaker to the crowd

      assembled . A proposition was submitted to the aieeting to re-organise the Chartists , which was earned unanimously . In Bonhill , Dumbarton , and Alexandria , the cause of political equality is forcing its way among all elasses . On Thursday evening , toe Council met to lay down a plan of organization . It seemed that another association based upon Mr . Brewster ' s morion w&s about to be started and it was thought desirable to secure the co-operation of oar association if it could be obtained on that condition . After some discussion , the Council arrived at the conclusion , that to parley about a resolution was only wasting that strength necessary to carry oat the Charter , and in order for ever to sQeaee any alteration about the matter . The fottowiag resolution drawn up by a committee , composed

      of Messrs . James Cameron , Charles Glen , and Wm . Tbemasson , was unanimously adopted . " That in « rd « r to meet the Tiews of ail parties , sod keep the eje of the public upon the principles for which we are contending—we as an Association refuse to commit enrseJves to ssy tesi—excepting that we will endea-T © ar peacefully , legally , and constitutionally to extend onx views , and by keeping strict i y UGQ 4 I all arenmstaneas within the paie of the law to carry out the principles of the Charter . " On Saturday evening , another meeting took place in the School room , and Democratic seminary , Mr . George Ferguson ia the chair . The Chairman said that the meeting was convened to lay before the members of the Association , * resolution come to at the Council on Thursday evening . Mr . Thomasson read the resolution

      and stated the object of the resolution was to put an end to discussions which crea' . ed en dless divisions and rendered nnited action for carrying the Charter impossible . Mr . It . Freebairn asked what was the line of the conduct of the Association would pui ^ ue ia case the other party would not act on those coa-< iiti < ms . Mr . Cameron remarked , we must act independently of them ia our own way . Mr . John Weir said in reference to parties who demanded Mr . Brewster ' s motion thould be law in their Association , that they were not bigotedly itrached to ilr . B . ' a words if better could be substituted . Mr . Adam Macanlay said that the Council ought to see other parties in order to adjust any Uiffercnces which might exist between them . Mr . Thoma ? son remarked that the Council had no power to su !>

      -zuit any articles of pacification until suca articles hod been previously sanctioned by the Ji ^ socltmon . After some riiicufsion , it was moved by Mr . . Raccri M'Gangan , and seconded by Mr . James Brock , local Secretary , that the resolution of Council be adcp : ed as the rule of the Association . Mr . Preebairn moved , and Mr . Robert ATNa-jght seeoaced the reading of a former rule of the Association a » the meeting for adopting the present o * jc . Mr . Cameron moved , and Mr . Tncmas ^ ou E-. conded ihe adoption of a rule similar to the one referred to by the I > ablin Association re-peeting the book ; being open , it" required , to the authorities of the place .

      MXDSLETOK . —The Chartists of this place held their usual weekiy mee ' . ing on Sunday , ihe 8 : h inst . in the Reformers' Chapel , top of BarrowrwLd . After making arrangements for two sermons to be preached in the above place , by tiie Rev . Wm . HILL , oa Sunday , the 22-i of Au&uss , a lively discussion ensued , on the important subject of sending missionaries throughout the Queendom , to expose all the oppressive doings of both Whigs and Tories , as practised in all the various localities of both manufacturing and agricultural districts .

      vjctrtm snd pleasure to every heart . In conclusion , be remarked that Universal Suffrage was the birthrigfe of -every man under a pure democratic government . They required no mercenary soldiers to coerce the people into submission , who fought for blood-money , and was controlled by terror . ( Cheers . ) No , with Universal Suffrage every citsen would be * soldier , whose interest would be to defend his altars , his home , and his country . When the Charter was first brought to Glasgow , it might be said that it was a wanderer without a home or a habitation ; but now it had found both in the hearts of every bold and honest man throughout tho length and breadth of the land . ( Cheers . ) Now , the hardy and fearless Gaul wa 3 travelling over the mountains and

      glens of Scotland , preaching ia his native toneue , the glad tidings of Chartism , ( Cheers . ) It is true we have nothing to expect from the Whig and Tory factions , whose minds are warped with ignorance , inUrest , and prejudice ; and we have also a few old men of the last century , who only required to die out to get rid of their whims ; but we have the best young life and blood of the nation along with us , and no Government can loDg rule who refuses to go along with the spirit of the age ; no expediency or half-measures will now go dovro with the people , and they will soon find that simple justice will ultimately be their best and safest policy , and the sooner thev resolve to adopt it the better it will be for themselves and all concerned . The lecturer then sat down amid three distinct Tounds of applause . — At this Etage of the proceedings , the fire engines passed the door of the charch , and the watchmen ' s rattles caused a considerable noise , when the Chairif

      man a ^ ked any one present could tell where the fire was ! He was immediately answered that it was a cooperage in the neighbourhood , but that there was no fear of the church . ( Great laughter . ) Mr . Cullen then made a few remarks on the lecture ; he was followed by Mr . Jack , Mr . C . Matthison , and Mr . Malcolm , who , in reply to something which had faJlen from Mr . Manhieon about aristocratic feelings , remarked , that there was too much aristocratic feelingieven among Chartists ; if some individuals can make better wages , dress better , and behave , as they tuink , with greater propriety thau their neighbourF , they assume a supercilious air , and look down with sovereign contempt upon those whom they think beneath them . Each of the speakers was loudly cheered . After a few word 9 from Mr . Ferrar , the lecturer summed up , the time being expired . A vote of * thanks was given to him and the Chairman , when the meeting dissolved . —Mr . Roy will lecture on the 16 th current .

      The OU . BTIST thcxdek has begun to roll , and the Sashes of lightning from the lips of the faithful advocates of the Charter strikes through every crevice of Bea-bound dungeons , enlivening tfie hearts of the slaves , and . petrifying the souls of the doomed despots of our native land . In Anderston , a public meeting of the inhabibants of that quarter was held in the ChartiBt Church there , when Mr . Pattisoc , the generous and talented advocate of the people ' s rights , delivered a stirring and highly eloquent lecture . The meeting vas well attended , ana the sentiments of the speaker called forth loud bursts of applause . Another meeting was held iu Bridgeton , on the night of the fifth instant , ia the New Chartist Hall , which was crowded to excess , while

      the windows were thrown down , at which the Jadies congregated in considerable numbers ; Mr . Rodgers was unanimously called to the chair , who , with his usual tact and Boble-bsaring , remarked that he was highly gratified to see such an intelligent audience , aud was no way astonished to see such a crammed house , as the excitement among the Chartists was now becoming paramount , and would ultimately involve the last and glorions decision " to be or not to be . " ( Cheering . ) Without any other comment , ho would introduce Mr . Gardner , from Glasgow , who would lecture , as previously announced by their Chartist drummer , on the present and future prospects of the country . Mr . Gardner , who bad just entered the meeting , accompanied by a deputation

      marched up to the pulpit amid the cheers of the audience , fie then began with a deep aDd impressive voice , and in language plain and instruct re , to show our present aud future prospects that called forth enthusiastic approbation ; and concluded bj exhorting his audience to beware of the Whig influence of the black crows who were about to meet in Slaachester on rhe Whig Ministerial measures cf out-and-out humbug ; they dared not meet in Scotland ; but let us seud some of our Chartist preachers among theaa , so that we may be represented among the white cores of heaven aad the black crows of h—1 ! . ( Great cheering . ) He could not emir , as he was now surrounded by the handloom weavers , the unemployed of which had elected

      him as their treasurer , to mention cae of the most extraordinary circumslances ever recorded in the annals of our country . The Fresbytery of Paisley had laie ' y met , and ( sronld they believe it !) that Right Reverend body disputed whether they would allow the hand-loom weavers of that town , now going idle , one penny per day , or threepence Mesfrs . Brewsterand Burns voted against the penny , cud then left the meeting , after strongly protesting against snch an uncharitable and uackri-tian proceeding— ( . strong expressions of disapprobation ) ;—a ^ d yet snch was a specimen of the men who hild the Church-strings of charity in Scotland ; aye , and ( said Mr . G . with a ? neer ) the souls of the people in keeping . ( " No , no , " and cheers . ) He then held

      foxth relative to the cruelties of the Wh ; gs , and the viliany of the Tories , the forthcoming of the people ' s giant pleader , O'Counor , and the necessity of every one becoming Feargu > es in miniature ; and although they did not posEes ? , hke that , gentleman , the icfluence of millions in Britain , and his fast-sroivirig iEfl-ience in Ireland—( cheer?)—still they had the power of crushing every Whiggish and Torified principle in their own immediate neighbourhood . ( Cneers ) He then sat down , by recomiueudin ^ the Cnar ; is ; s in every part of the world where the God-rght of man has been proclaimed , to resist , with indignation , the false and insidious attempts of tke faithless , aud cruel , aud infamous Whigs—the lying scoundrels ,

      better keep quiet , or he would finish him also . Now . iuch had beca the conduct of the Whi m's with the people , who had gone a braying lotdly in their behalf , —( hear , hear , from Mr . Thomson . )—and had been served jast iu the same way ; but we will nerer bray again , unless we have them nailed down to the Charter . ( Cries from all parts of tho house . " not one bray without the Cnarter , " aad loud ehec-riut ; ) A vote of thanks was then proposed by Mr . M'Kay to the lecturer , which was given v ? un beany 'acclamation , which was followed by a volt ot' thanks to the chairman , when the crowded , iiappy , and enthusiastic meeting dissolved . The cause goes gloriously on in Glasgow ; all rainoi ' differences have been buried in oblivion . While man clings to man , hand seeks for hand , and everj heart beats in unison , what a pity some of our oio friends in the neighbourhood of Kewhall-hiil does 1 not imitate our example : not a man can be wanted all mu = t muster at the glorious gathering of tin clans .

      TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL OF WILTS . My Brother Chartists and Fellow-Coustrit-ME . \ IN THE HOLY CAUSE OF MAKING THE WORLD OUR C 013 MB . Y , ajjD TO DO UOOD OUR RELIGION . — In the Star and Pindicutor , of last Saturday , appeared a vote you theught proper to pass approving of my conduct whilst among you , and recommending your humble servant to the Chartist ranks , where the services of a corporal may be required to beat up for recruits . I am poor in thanks , beggar that I am , yet accept my tfcai ; ks tor the honour you have done me . Tee duty and love I owe my countrymen , I hope will ever ensure me to be found at any post they may think proper to place me . I know all things to b » done wisely must be done justly .

      My friends , now is the time for you to wark , let no man slack—now is the accepted tune . Up , Jade , and at the bloodstained factions . The me a of London are taking a proud position—the trades are tnliating in the ranks of the Charter . As I hope to be again accepted among you ; as I hope again to see those smiling faces and affectionate voices tkat have given me welcome , by the ties of friendship that bind us ; I cotjure you , my brothers of Wilts , do not slacken . Somo of you nmy have read in the Slur , from their London correspondent , that London was dull actl doing nothing , tc , yet , I find it is not so . Let yaur watchword be , to jour tents , O Israel . O , join my countrymen—join . Let not theological disputes sever you from the grand and glorious cause before you . Your cause—ray cause — the cause of our ill-treated , starved , aud persecuted countrv ; yes even the cause of the whole world —• the cause of truth and justice that knows no distinction .

      The despots of our wretched country tell you we bavejnstice . 0 , yes , justice indeed- They tell you alEO justice knows no distinction—that she is blind . Indeed , I can tell she ia not so . She gives starving short weight to 9 C 2 , 183 , 264 slowiah working men , women , and children , aiid tremendous lumping pennywortLs to 27 , S 80 , 685 indolent , do-nothing , ravenous , debauched vultures , who prey on tho flash , blood , and bones of their fellow men . Is this justice , my countrymen ? I tell you the justice is in yourselves . It remains with you if you will be become great , glorious , and free .

      There are two terrible sins that now and ever have oppressed mankind ; the one a sceptre in its hand , the other a cross . The tirst is a king ; the second is a prk-tt . How is a king made a watchword among the Jews , when they intended to forsake their princes , of the sweat , the tears , and the blood of nations . What makes him gold—gold—gold ? What mafcea a priest hypocrisy and the crtss . Then , I say arise from your slumber in the giant strength of union . Take the sceptre , destroy it—it is the king ' s .

      Mr . Wood , of Gloucester . —The Judges ri cently met to discuss some point relative to the wiJl of this most singular character , the extent of whose wealth , and the contest for the possession of the game , have already created cosiderable interest in the public mind . The suit between the alleged executors and the next of kin has now been carried on for more than five years , the possessor of this extensive property having died on the 28 th of April , 183 G , when nearly eighty years of a ^ e . It ia calculat ed that the same period of time may elapse before the Euglish laws wiLl allow the final decision to be pronounced . Here , then , must be fine pickings for the lawyers , who doubtlessly will not easily be weaned from the benefits of so rich and abundant an

      harvest . As it may , however , afford some amusement to our reader 3 , we give an authentic detail of the amount of the wealth which this eccentric aud parsimonious old man died possessed of , as follow . " : —New Annuities , £ C 6 , \ t 2 \ lls ; East India Stock , £ 3 , 000 ; Three per Ceut . Consols , £ 57 , 500 ; New Three-and-a-half per Cents ., £ 383 , ( ifl 8 13 s . 8 d ; Bank Loiit { Annuities , £ 9 5 s . ; Three per Cents . Reduced , £ 0 , 380 10 i . 10 d . ; Reduced Three-and-a-half per Cents . £ 181 , 000 ; Bank Stock , £ 52 , 000 ; rents due from his freehold and copyhold property at the time of his death , £ 4 , 677 15 s ; rent of leaseholds due at the time of his death , £ 710 10 s . 9 i ; mortgages , £ 15 , 639 Gs Id . ; interest ou ditto due at his death , ± 1 , 391 12 s . 9 d . ; bonds , bills , and notes of hand , £ 5 408 oi . 10 d . ; interest on ditto at his death ,

      £ 323 19 s . lid . ; banking accounts due to his estate at the same time , £ 11 , 225 Is . 4 d . ; debts owing to him for shop goods , £ 131 7 s , 9 d , ; balance of cash in the hands of Sir John Lubbcck and Co . £ 9 , 756 12 s . Gd ; cash found in his house , £ 2 , 42 G 10 .-. ; silver , £ 49 1 ? . ; copper , lid . ; bank notes , £ 5 , 237 ; check , £ 9 ; old gold—six five-guinea pieces , five two-guiat » ditto , nine oae-Kuinea ditto , two foreign pieces—all which were sold for £ 51 16 s . 6 d ; old silver , C 9 pieces , produced £ 5 4 s . ; one old gold piece , 2 s . tid . ; rent of his kaseholds , £ 711 4 s . ; wearing apparel , £ 5 ; household furniture , £ 2 io ; plate , £ 236 ; Btock in trade , £ 579 10 s . ;—total , £ 78 . 1 , 107 10 j . 4 J . Added to this amount of personal property , the freehold estates are valued at £ 200 , 000 ; so that , with the five years' interest now accumulated , we

      may reckon his properly to amouDt to the immense sum of nearly £ 1 , 200 , 000 . Tnat men who amass such immense wealth , by starving themselves aud ail around them , should not take means to prevent it being wasted in litigation aher their exit , appears mysterious , as those avaricious propensities which enable a man to ecrape together buch immense sunib are s ' . rong even in death , never forsaking the miser but with life , as experience almost uniformly proves . Instead , however , of eavying the raider , who snffers and it . fl . icts all sons of miseries in the pursuit ol his darling object , the individual wbo , with prudence and proprietv , enjoys and distributes the funds

      which Provideuce places at his command whilst living , is much more au object of envy to tho liberal and fetiiug mind , aud is one who eujoys pleasures which the mistr never appreciated or I ' eit . If no more than the iiittrest of tho property in question be wasted in litigation , u will be fjrtuua ' . e for the persons into whose hands this vreratii is eventually des -. 'iued to fall , such interest bein . i , ' of no mean aicount . The judges of the privy council intend to give their decision oa this most itr . jwrtant and extensive property on ihe lo " h inst ., when S r Matthew Wood and the other pariies w ; J ! know the destination of this ample fortune .

Tellem , Eodes ; and Mr . Samuel Pendie ton , Newton Hkath . Mr . WM . Cookson was called to the chair . Tbe minutes of the last meeting were read over and confirmed , and each maa paid bis quota towwda the expenses levied . Mr . James Cartledge moved , seconded by Mr . John Cartxedge : — 11 That we the Delegates present for South Lancashire do recommend the Chartists to use all their influence to extend tbe sale of the National Pindioalor . " Moved by Mr . James Cabtledge , seconded by Mr . John Leech , of Ashton , and , after a desultory conversation , in which every Delegate spoke , it was carried with only one dissentient .

      • ' That tbe sittings of the General Executive ought to be open to every member of the Association and not sit privately as they hitherto have done . " The following were then carried : — " That a map of South Lancashire be purchased in order to assist tte secretary in drawing up apian of lectnres . " " Thit the South Lancashire Delegate Meeting be held , for the future , quarterly , instead of monthly . " " Thateach delegate be requested to communicate to his constituents what has passed by the delegate meeting . " " That the missionary fsr South Lancashire having to attend to tbe business of the Executive we discontinue the engagement of a lecturer for the present . "

      " That as the permanent Executive of the National Charter Association has now commenced , we earnestly call upon the memoers in every district throughout the empire , to rally round them and lend their energy to amply supply them with the means of carrying our principles icto any comer of tbe United Kingdom , and thereby speedily ensure tbe enactment of the Charter . " 1 Th * t in the opinion of this meeting , the cruel and revolting treatment received by the inmates of Wakefield House of Correction , or rather inquisition of torture , is contrary to the intention , of the law , repugnant to the feelings of human nature , and opposed to the principles of Christianity . That such torture ought not to be tolerated In an uncivilised

      country , much less ia one where tbe { doctrines of the meek and lowly Jesus are professed , and where it is declared that the Bible is part and parcel of the law of the land . We , therefore , call upon all men whatever may be tbeir political creeds or opinions , to speak oat upon this atrocity and wipe the libel from tbe page of history ; that Englishmen , Irishmen , and Scotchmen stood tamely by and allowed their fellow-men to be cruelly murdered under the most refined system of silent torture that ever disgraced the world , and , too , under the pretence of lefotnring the persons submitted to it This is another strong argument in faTour of the working classes uniting for their protection , seeing the treatment their order is receiving , compared with the treatment received by Lord Plunkett for resisting the authorities and creating a riot "

      " That in answer to a deputation from the youths , we recommend the Chartists of every district , where it can be dor . e , to form mutual and instructive classes for the youth , they being likely to do a great amount of service to the cause judging from what we have seen in Manchester . "
