Plaxton , of Coctinghant , five miles from Hull , had long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease . So dreadful wore the paroxysms that ho frequently expected death was at hand to release him . from his suiierings . For a great length of time he had been unable to sit dutvu at all , ev » " u being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of tho virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s Pil . s , " purohased 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 appotite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has ever been in his life .

      BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Prout , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 , 1841 . SIR . —I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills have be « a of the greatest service to me . Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Sciatica ; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a period , baffles any description which I can possibly give of my then miserable slate . I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . I had the best medical advice , including that of ( wo physicians in London , without obtaining any essential relief . I went to Margate , and had the best medical advice , trying the warm bath thew and at other places , without obtaining any bsnefit .

      CARLISLE . —Mas . Frost axd James Br . o > TEREi v iJHiKS . —Since the an ; -ouneement ol ' ihe a ; sircs ? ed rirctmmances in which Mrs . Frost has un fortunately been p ' aced , and the serious indisposition of t ! -at master nrnd , Mr . O'Brien , the most lively interest has been ir . » 7 iifi-sted in their behalf . Gn « pound has been seut off for Mrs . Frost , and a subscription is going on in behalf of Mr . O'Brien , whoss life we sincerely trust will be spared . Were it not for the Tery depressed Kate of trade here , much more wosld hare been collected , but never in our

      recollection ha 3 there been so much suffering and distress . The wsges of nearly all those engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods are bein ^ reduced , and many of the worts are running short time . Whether tbs arises from a ruse on the pan of tbe masters t-o give effect to their anti-Corn Law agination , or whether it is the effects of bad trade , we know not , but of one thing we are certain , that is , that they nsver lose an opportunity , on tho slightest plea bemz offered them , of taking a riilanous advantage < d the work people .

      law of the iand ; this meeting pledges itself " to join . no party , but continue its onward " course until the : whole Charter , and nothing less , become the law of the land . " The amendment was carried by a forest of hanis . A resolution was brought forward by j John Weir , seconded by Mr .

      ODSSBTJHN . —The Chartists of this place held their weekly meeting , on Sunday morning , May 16 ; h , in the School-room , Bykers Bojldicgs . After the preliminary buMuess had been gone through , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . 's letter was read from the Star , when a resolution was moved and carried nnanimjusiy , pledging themselves to carry out the excellent recommendations of exclusive dealing stated in the letter , and that they are determined to buy neither groceries , cloth , hats , shoes , or get anything made of any one who will not pledge Mmselfio Tote for a Ch ^ riis : candidate , when brought forward , and joi-a ihe Association . A conversation ' then ensued soon * get ing cp a public meeting , when a resolution was moved and earried , that a

      public meeting be hvl-J on the Ballasi Hills , on Wednesday evening , May 26 : h , at nine o ' clock . It was suggested that a subscription be made at the close of the meeting , on behalf of Mrs . Frost , wh : ea wil ] be done . A number of individuals gave some Bhilling ? , othtr 3 sixpences , eight threepence each , for tne victim fund . A vote of thanks wa 3 passed to the Convention , for their unity , energy , and perseverance in behalf of Frost and his compatriot ? , and the incarcerated Chrrtists . It was the aioit spirited meeting we have had for some time . A great nuay strangers were present from H = iton and surrounding neighbourhood , to whom we gave ft great many tra"ts , to distribute among their fellow workmen . We have got 1 , 100 signatures of males to the petition , which was sen : to . Newcastle .

      NEW iANARX , —A public meeting of the inhabitants was hsld on Wednesday , the 12 : h instant , at the Independent Chapel , Mr . Thomas isavin , in the chair . A dispute took place as to the ri ^ ht of : _ he Chartists to be present ; after which the Corn Law party proceeded to elect a Committee , am ; d » t the disapprobation of the meeting , and with a decided minority . Mr . Martin then read 3 petition in favour of the ministerial measur- ; , and Mr . Chambers moved an amendment , stating , that the meeting concur in a re > eal of the Corn Laws , but had no £ iith in her Majesty ' s Ministers , and affirming that the sur ; -st mejnod of repealing the Corn Law = wa ? by obtaining the Peopie' 3 Charter , which would give the whole bo-iy of tbe people a share in thr

      re-presentation of the country . A division tock place on the question , which showed a large majority in iavonr of the amendment . The meeting quietly sep . ir . jted . its concoctors being evidently chagrined at the result . HANCHSSTSR , SOUTH LANCASHIRE DELEGATE MEETING . —The above meeting was ceV . l in the Brown-strest Chartist Room , East Manchester , on

      Lecture bt Mr . Doyle , an Irish Chartist . — Ou Sunday evening last , in the Chartist Room , Tib-; str-. et , a lecture was delivered by th : s gentleman . He commenced by saying that he was very happy to have the opportunity of expressing to them his opinion opcrily and- above b » ard , and -without being afraid of bl-ing , aa had been done on a very recent occasion , put , do-sii by the argument of clamour , physical force , and violence . ( H-ai , fceaT . ) Those vrho "wish to advance their cause by persecuting the members of another , ¦ will a-jver succeed . But , in many instances , the cause wlLch hil been most persecuted hail prospered best ; just 80 it was ¦ with Chartism . The pleasing prospects of the Chartists , and the success which they hava of . late met with , have been owing chiefly to the fair and - upriaht manner in ¦ which they had , on all occasions , ; conducted their pT- > ceed ; n ; s . Projects haA been put " out by bypacritta of the deepest die ; men who called upnn the people for support to obtain a certain end , ivn-1 then they , in return , would never rest satisfied till they , the people , were in possession of their rights ; also , who , after making such promises , could turn ; ronnd upon the Tery parties who put them in power . ' Have , not tbe Whigs done this ? ( A . voice— " Tea . ") : They b . vi ; aad he was not sorry that these wretches were dying a political death—that an en < i -would shortly ¦ be put to their life of mischief and misrule . They were now gasping for breath : away with them , hy ; ¦ vrou'd say , aad Ch > d speed their fl ght ( Laughtfar and 1 cheers , and a voice or two S 3 id , " Amen , amen . " ) No man who possessed common sense could look upon ' - the present anomaly of things , if he laid claim , at the . same time , to honesty , sympathy , and truth . ( Hear . ) Here he found the arf : zins of Great Britain sinking I lower and lower in their condition—so much so thit ¦ ! they were actually in thousands bordering npon star-: vation—that the one class who hive to toil and fill I the granaries with corn , to buiid the mansions , fight . the battles , man the sh'pa , and fill the warehouses with cloth , are starving for food and clothing , -whilst ' the other class , who produce nothing useful to society

      Sunday afternoon last , the 16 th of M : > y , for tlie transaction of business connected with the ciuse . in the above county . Delegates present : —Mr . Gresty , Chorltoa-upon .-Mediock ; Thoaaas Divies , Tib-street , Manchester ; John Cariledge , Brown street , Manchester ; Jehn Toinson , Hirdman-street , Manchester ; John ilillington , Sslford ; John Mossey , Xewton Heath ; Thomas lairiesa , Oldham ; James Taylor , Janies Scholfleld , OpenshAV and Droylsden ; Diniel Hasletn , Fails worth ; EdWird Liwless , Warrington ; Edward Whittrorth , Middleton ; James Hey wood Heywod , Tusworth ; Exerely Dootson , Prestsrich ; Richard Allen , PUkicgton . The credentials Were read over , the accounts examined aad found correct , and oth ^ r business for Which they had m-t before , "vras dispensed tvith ; after ¦ Whi ch , the following resolutions were submitted and called forth discussion , and ultimately pissed unanimously ; moved by Jahn Mossey , aad seconded by EdvrM ^ Lawless : —1 st " Tha t it is the opinion of

      the delegates present , that the men who arc going 3 bout the country ca' . ang meetings upoa the subject of the Corn Ls ^ ra , axe insincere , deceitful , and wish to delude the people . Taey profess to be ths £ ricnds of the working classes ; ¦ which professions we conceive mere humbug aud treachery to gain confidence , as fully demonstiata-1 in th « ir conduct in ressrting to every means ¦ Within their power to lock the working men ' s jaws , and cunningly eTade pnblic discussion . That the question is purely one betwixs the catton lord and the landlord ; in the way they advocate it , therefore , we believe their object is not to benefit the working classes ,- otherwise they would assist them to obtain a power ever the law which -would protect their labour , -which is their only property , and the loaf when they have it . " Snd . Moved by Thomas Divies , and seconded by Jonas SchoSeld , " That this meeting confirms the resolution pis » &d by the OMhaxn people in reference to Mr . Greaves , as we hava full eriden . ee that he has become an instalment man . and that it is our determination sot

      to countenance any one in this movement who will not , or -wao'does not , advocate the Charter , and nothing leas . " 3 rd . Moved by John Cartledge , and seconded fey Mr . Exersly . " Th * t we agree with the plan laid down by Feargus O'Connor , relative to exclusive < WKr > g «; and -wa recommend U to be carried out generally , in order to bring the shopocracy to a sense of their daty towards the producing millions of this empire . That the tills being empty will be a slap in toe face to the middle class , which will make them sav&ga , and probably be the ms&n 3 of opening their blind eyes , and eonTioee their stubborn understandings that the working classes hire rights as -well as them-Belvas , and that the oppression aad tyranny which has bo Ion * been practised by erery class of society upon

      the most essential , most useful , and , consequently , most important class of society , —nay , further ,-. the prop of tho nation , namely , the producing millions , lhali be brought to an end ; aad that no man deserves to be inpported by tbe working man who will not in return support him by voting that the brand mark of ¦ laverj and inferiority may b * erased from his brow . " 4 Ul " That the delegates present riew witii feelings el regret the circumstance * which hare apparently esoaed » bad feeling to exist in tbe mind of Mr . H .

      them-• elre *'; still we consider Mr . Hetherington has made a vary ^ erroneous and unwirrintable comparison in itating that Ftaargus is ' as great a humbug u D&aki O'Connell , and relative to the Assotfition being Mr . O'Connor ' s ; and that we , the mamben of it , his tail , take that assertion to be ft dirsct insalt upon every individual member , more aspadaUr when ire take into consideration the notorious fact , t >« Lt O'Connor had nothing at all to do with tbe forming of the- plan of organisation ; that he yr&a than in prison ; that ths people ' s delegates met twice in Msdduster , tnd a » t several days each time , aad that F *** gus sorer b&w it till it was printed .

      to throw ever ? mzn ovtraoard who does not set up theieto . " Mr D . wits moved this , and Mr . Massey seconded it , and Mr . Julian Harosy was rf quested by the delegates to either speak for the motion or against it , which he felt prepared to do , npon which ho Raid he had no wish to mix himself with party squabbles , though he hid too often been compelled , in selfdeftnee , to do so upon former occasions ; nevertheless , being called upon , he Would offer a ward or two upon the conduct of csrtain parties who figured at the head of the new move . " He had been a member of the London "Working Men's Associatian , the leaders of which were mostly the leaders of the " newmove- "

      ! | [ fie could testify to the truth of William Rider ' s assertion , that the members of that body were really anything tut working men . The occasion of his leaving that body was as follows : —At the time the Glasgow Cotton Spinners lay in Edinburgh gaol , awaiting their j trial , Daniel O'Connell thought proper , in a speech j made in the House of Commons , to denounce these per-; secuted men , and with them the trades' unionists of 1 England , Ireland , and Scotland , generally , asserting j that they were banded together , for the most atrocious I purposes , not scrupling to resort even to assassination j to eff . ct their ends . He ( Mr . H . ) was not a trades ! unioni-t , but deemed it his duty to call the attention i of the Working Men's Association to this matter ; he

      did bo ; the answer was , "Write to O'Connell , and if he pleads guiity to the charge , no language will be too severe in which to denounce his villany . " He ( Mr . H . ) did so ; be -vrrote to O'Conntll : Dan replied in a saucy note , stating he had sent his answer to his ( Mr . H . ' ei questions to Mr . Cleave , He went to Mr . Cleave . Mr . Cleave rea- ? Dan ' sanswer to him . in -which he iO'Connell ) twice distinctly stated that , although not fully reported his speech so far as it appeared was correct—upon this be iMr . H . ) moved certain resolutions in the Working Men's Association denouncing O'Connell as the enemy of the weriing classes ; 1 : is resolutions were rejected ' , tbe only parties supporting him being Mr . Ireland , afterwards one of the leaders of the Democratic Association , and an excellent patriot , and Mr . Neesom ,

      aft-erwards member for Bristol in the Convention ; Mr . Cleave had declined giving up the correspondence with Dan to him , ( Mr . H ., ) but had committed it to the Working Men ' s Association . He ( Mr . H . ) then demanded the correspondence , that he might publish it The Association by vote refused it . He n ? xt demanded a copy ; the Association , by vote , ft ? ain refused ; and lastly , the Association passed a resolution to lock up the corr spondence in the secretary ' s desk , that its publication might be prevented . He , however , published in the Northern Star , the Champion , and other p ^ pyrs , all that portion of the correspondence he retained in his own hands . For this he was hauled over the coals , and a vote of censure passed upon him , — cries of hear , ) whereupon h 8 flung up his card , as did Messrs . Ireland and Xi-esom , and they three founded the Democratic Association , which , if it did no other good , did this—it crushed , it annihilated , the

      humbug Working Men ' s Association . ( Cheers . ) After some other remarks , Mr . Harney said , in reference to Mr . Levett , ho considered it but right that he should speak to the conduct of Mr . Lovett , when Secretary to the Convention ; whatever had been his feelings toward that gentleman as Secretary to the Working Men ' s Association , when he saw that the courage of Mr . Li ) Vfctt increased as the danger menacing the Convention augmented—that he rose equal to the crisis—he 1 Mr . H . ) flung to the winds all remembrance of tbe past , and hailed and did honour to Mr . Lovett as a man worthy the most perfect confidence , esteem , and admiration of the people . When he ( Mr . Harneyi remembered this , he deplored that Mr . Lovett was not with them ; he lamented to see . one so talented in the company of . and associated with , parties whose Bincerity he ( Mr . H . ¦ doubted—in whose patriotism he had no faith . Mr . Harney concluded by giving it as his ODinion that had it b » en O'Connor himself \ rho had

      proposed the " new move , tho people would at once have flung him overboard . Thank God , the people cared now everything for principle , nothing for men 1 Cheers . ) But as regards Mr . O Connor , though at times he hid differed with that gentleman , particularly upon the question of the National Holiday , he ( Mr . Harnev ) would say , that be ( O'Connor ; had well earned , by his meritorious labours in the cause of democracy , the people's confidence and love . These he had , and so long as Mr . O'C-jnnor continued to act the same straightfoTward part , the people would support him , and ev « ry effort of his enemies to ruin him would miserably fail . Mr . Barney resumed hia st&i amidst loud cheers , oih . " That every delegate be requested to instruct

      the secretary of hi 3 district to send the time and place of meeting , to the county secretary , as early as possible , for the benefit of the missionary in asking out his tour . " Cth . ' Tta * . ve perfectly agree that the Convention should sit another fortnight , and that one penny per heatl be levied upon the Association , and every other means tried , to support the representatives of tbe working men . " 7 th . " That Mr . Leech be re-elected as lecturer for the next month , ha giving every satisfaction in the capacity in which he is placed . " 8 'h . " That this meeting stand a .: j : mrned till this day month . " —A vole of thanks was given to the Chairman for his valuable services . Tne business throughout was conducted orderly and wirh the best feeling .

      are living in the greatest splendour , and luxuriating upon the fat of the land . Ti ; at this was the case , no one could deny ; and why was it so ? There must be a cause for all this . Why , tho cause wls , one class had the power to make the laws to keep the other in siavtry , want , ami bondage . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , in order to see whether this class have properly discharged their duty , and to coma to an understanding upon the subject , it was necessary to look at their actions . He , therefore , would direct their attention'to these clashes separately . The first class , then , was what is termed the Royal . There are persons who contend that it is tho will of God there should be kings . Mr . D . 'jie then went to the origin of kings , as laid down in the first chapter ef Samuel , and his

      declarations were that kings were not first established by God , bat by men . Of course he allowed every man to enjoy his own opinion upon the point Mr . Djyle said that , according to history , wherever they had a king in any nation , poverty , misery , and wretchedness were the lot of the mass of the people . We have been told that we have had good kings . Now , how many good kings have we had in this country ? Ten ? No . Nine ? No . Here the lecturer came down to two , and said that we have not even had so many good kings . He would acknowledge only one , and that was Alfred . He was the only man who was and acted like a father to his people . He was the only one who appeared to wigh to see hia paop \ e in a state of happiness . He only has been the king who wished

      to give true liberty to the people . ( Hear , hear . ) Tae speaker continued in this strain for same time . Here the speaker commenced upon the wars , and gave an account of the money spent and the lives lost Then came to out beloved Queen ' s salary , -which was £ 470 , 000 a year . The same sum , if divided , weuld give to 3 t , 128 hand-loom weavers 6 s . per werk . Then there was another royal beggar who received £ 30 , 000 per year . Then there is the young Princess , who will requira in » yaj short time six or eight thousand to educate . And it is said that the Queen is " in a likely way ag&iu . " So that we seem likely enough to have young Royal paopers springing up like mushrooms . ( Laughter . ) The speaker then went on to shew the amount of meney the King of Belgium and the King of Hanover have cost this

      country , and compared it with the wages of the agricultural labourers , and showed how many it would keep according to their rate of wage * . On the 14 th of May , 183 » , Sir James Graham moved for an bumble address to his Majesty for as account of all salaries , pay , fees , and emoluments , whether civil or military , from the 5 th of January , 1829 , to the 5 th of January , 1830 , held and enjoyed by each of his Majesty ' s Most Honourable Privy Council , specifying with each name the total amount received by each individual , and distinguishing the ¦ various soarces from which the same was derived . The total number of Privy Councillors was 169 , of which 113

      received public money . The whole sum distributed annually amongst thsse 113 was £ 650 , 164 , and the average proportion of that sum paid to each yearly was £ 5 , 752 . Ol this total of £ 659 . 164 , £ S 6 , 103 was for sinecures , £ 442 , 411 for what was called active Bervices , and £ 12 , 650 for pension * .

      pay , or were pensioned a 3 diplomatists , was twenty-nine , and the gross amount of their income from thepubl io purso was £ l 2 G , 175 , or , npon an average , a yearly income to each individual of £ 4 , 347 . The whole number of Privy Councillors who wjre members of both Houses of Parliament was sixty-nine , and of those seventeen were Peers , whose gross income from the public purse was £ 37 S 846 , or , upon an average to each , £ 8 , 065 a-year . These robbers took an eightyeighth part of the National Debt The whole expenditure of the civil and military lift of the Government of America was—President , 25 , 00 * dollars ; Vice-President , 5 . » 0 » ; Secretary of State , 6 , 000 ; Secretary to the Treasury , 6 , 000 ; Secretary of War , 6 , 010 ; Secretary to the Navy , 6 , 000 ; Postmaster , S , 5 » o , the

      Chief Justice 6 , 00 *; rix Judges , 5 . 0 » 0 each ; three Commissioners of the Navy , 3 , O 0 » each ; uiakiDg a total of £ 24 , 299 of English money . The late Marquis of Buckingham received from his sineeure £ " 0 » , 0 o 0 ; the Marquis of Camden , £ 700 , » M ; Lard Ardent £ 500 . 000 ; the family of tbe Seymour * , £ 4 # o , # O # ; the Dukes of Richmond , Grafton , Marquis of Bute ' , Lord Melville , and others , nearly half a million each . ( Hear , and loud cries of " Shame , aharae . ") Now let us sea the increase of taxes . When Queen Anne came to the throne in 1701 , the yearly amount of the taxes was £ 4 , 212 858 . When George the firstcame to the throne in 1714 , it was £ 6 , 702 , 643 . When George the second came to the throne in 1727 it was £ 16 , 652 , 540 . When George t > ie third cam * to

      the throne in 1760 , it was £ 3 , 744 , 682 . After the American War , in 1784 , it was £ 13 . 300 921 . At the close of the Auti-Jacobin-war , in 1801 , it was £ 36 , 728 , 971 . F 01 the year 1809 , it was £ 7 « , 240 , 226 . Tue English in Germany . It is estimated that there are in Germany 150 , « 0 » English families who spend each upon aa average £ 280 , or ia the aggregate , £ 30 , 000 , » 00 sterling . ThU is unquestionably a larger sum than the profits of our trade with all Europe amounts to , in the twenty-two years of peace . It would amount to £ 663 , 000 , 000 , or nearly as much as three-fourths of the miscalled National Debt The Duke of Buccleugh is in the receipt of £ 250 , 000 . The Marquis of Salisbury , £ 330 , 000 . The Duke of Northumberland , £ 280 , 000 . The above sums make a total of £ 830 , 01 ) 0 , which would give 17 . 600 parsons £ 50 each , for one year . In 16 S 8 there were 160 temporal peers in England , whose average incomes amounted to £ 3 , 2 » 9 each per annum . Now 3 , 200 multiplied by 160 , makes an aggregate of 512 , 00 * , so that three peers of the present day receive £ 268 , 00 # more than the wh-le of tba peers of England did at that time ; of course money was more valuable . The lecturer continued enumerating facts and figures , for about an hour and a half , and made some very appropriate remarks on the various classes of society , and concluded amid the cheers of his audience , an argumentative , eloquent , and convincing speech , by very forcibly reoomuiinding perseverance for the attainment of the Charter .
