      HUMAN UFE . j DROBABLY no theory oan come more welcome JL to the human mind than the one which establishes , on good grounds , a hope for prolonged existence ; for , notwithstanding the trials , vexations * and difficulties incident to this life , the love of life increases with our years ; it is one of the innate principles of our nature , and cannot be explained away by any of the subtleties of the sophist , nor overcome by any amused dignity derived from a false philosophy . There are many of these inextinguishable principles in our nature—our love of freedomlove of country—love of home , and many others , but the lore of life predominates . At present , the popular opinion is , that the natural duration of human life is seventy years , bat thi * is contrary to both sacred and profane history . This opinion is , no doubt , founded on a misunderstanding of a passage of the 90 th Psalm , where it is indeed stated , "That the days our years are three score years and ten , and if by reason of strength they be four score years , yet is their strength labour and sorrow . " Now , it must be remembered , that this Psalm ib ascribed to Moses , and that he is not speaking of the lives of men in general , but of what was occurring among the Israelites in the wilderness . His own life , as well as the lives of the more eminent of his brethren , was far more extended than even four score years ; and , as he complains of the people being cut off , through the displeasure of God , it is reasonable to conclude , that he is not alluding to the period during which men were capable of living , but ; simply to the fact , that , owing to the judgments of the Almighty , which betel the Israelites on account of their sins , but few of them attained a mote length- j ened existence than that of seventy or eighty years . " For we are consumed , " he saysr "by thine anger , and by thy wrath are wo troubled . " Tney died not a natural death , but were cut off for their sin and unbelief , by judicial dispensations . The clever Dr . Farre maintains , that 120 is the last grant of God to man , and quotes the eizth chapter of Genesis , and the third verse , where it is written , "My spirit shall not always strive with man , for that he also is flesh ; yet his days shall bean HITNDKED AND TWEKTY YEARS . " NOW , We find this expressed intention on the part of God gradually carried into effect—the principle of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished ; when , although several centuries had elapsed since the deluge we find that 120 yearB was about the average of human existence . Supposing , then , that the theory of long life is well sustained , the question naturally suggests how are we to attain what is so desirable ! A wise general , on the eve of battle , makes a proper disposition of his forces beforehand , and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack , and thus , by forethought and due preparation , reasonably expects a victory ;—thus , he who has a desire to attain a healthy , and consequently , happy old age , does not indolently wait for the attack of the enemy , which is sickness , but is constantly on his guard against his insidious approaches , by paying proper attention to the state of his health . Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operations ; but like a mariner at sea without his compass , knowing not where to steer , they first try this , and then that , and meet with nothing but disappointment ; to these , how welcome must be the important fact , that Parr ' ri Medicine ia ail that is required ; the fine tonic properties it contains invariably restore the stomach to a healthy longing for food , or , in other words , it produces a good appetite , so much envied , but so seldom enjoyed , by the invalid ; the gently stimulating power it possesses , assists the stomach to properly digest the food it receives ; the balsamic powers it bestows on the system , produce that delightful feeling of good spirits , so very desirable , and dispose both mind and body to healthy exercise ; everything under its influence soon wears a joyous aspect , and the varied duties of life are performed with pleasure . It in addition contains a fine sedative quality , and instead of long and weary nights , gives sound and refreshing sleep . If the stomach and bowels require it , it acts as the mildest and most agreeable purgative , and by its cleansing powers totally eradicates a redundancy of bile , and completely removes all obstructions of the intestinal canal . Cases of every description have been cured simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , thus showing , that what have been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the same cause , and can be cured by one uniform treatment . Parr ' s Life Pills , although powerful in conquering disease , yet are as pure and harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to an invalid , however weakly from long ill-health , who will soon enjoy thoso delightful symptoms of a return to strong health ; viz ., good appetite , sound 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 and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject . Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long-lost secret to the world , feel confident when they make this assertion—that none need despair , that if only a fair trial be given , the result will be restoration to health and happiness . " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise , And future Parrs be blest with honour'd days . " This medicine is sold wholesale , by appointment , by Edwards , S ' . Paul ' s Church Yard , London ; and by Joshua Hobson , Northern Star Oifics , General Agent for Leeds aud the West Riding . Price Is . l . Jd ., 2 s > 9 d ., and family boxes lla . each ; the boxes at 2 s . 9 d . contain equal to three small , and those at 11 s . equal to five at 2 a . 9 d . Full descriptions are given with each box .

SURGEONS , No . 13 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds , and 34 , / Vines Edward-streety Fox-street ^ Liverpeol , HAVING devoted their Studies exclusively for many years to the successful treatment oftha Venereal Disease , in all its various forms ; also , to the frightful consequences resulting from tint destructive practice , " Self Abuse , " may be Personally Consulted from Nine in the Morning till 1 « Bn at Night , and on Sundays till Two . Attendance every Thursday at No . 4 , Georgestreet , Bradford , ( from Ten till Five . ) In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within » Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after tint period , and Country Patients , by making only < m « personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medi * cinesthat will enable them to obtain a permanent snd effectual Cure , when all other means h » w failed . Theyhopethat the successful , easy , and expedition * mode they have adopted . of eradicating every symptom of a certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving the constitution in full vigour , and free from injurj , will establish their claims for support . As this Disease is one which is likely to be contract whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but , on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in such a manner aa not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserw the constitution unimpaired , in oase of a repetition at no'distant period . The man of experience eaa avail himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mil <* nature , which can only be made by one in daily fracti ce , after due consideration of all circumstances , n the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , i » order to discriminate their real nature , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unle * managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill * Patients labouring under this disease , cannot be too cautious into whose hands they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing tbe ordeal of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some of the many symptoms that dialing ^ this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on *" head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , Bcrofula , swellings in the neck , nodes on the wub bones , cancers fistula , pains in the head and limbsi which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism . &C . &o .

      Just published , in Demy 8 vo ., BY MESSRS . PERRY h Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , J and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BY- EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , THE SILENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonorrhoea , Gleets , and Strictures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all itsattendantsympathies anddangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price lls . and 333 . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . per Box , 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 Gonorrhoaa , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe case 9 , but when salivation aud all other means have failed ; and whsn an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under tho notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , aa to render tho residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result 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 and fatal malad y . What a pity that a young man , tho hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all theprospects and enjoyments of life by the co nsequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properl y treated . It is a melanchol y fact that thousands fall victims fc -n- ? hovrid disease , owing to the unskilfulnesa or illiterate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

These Pills are mild and effectual in their opera , tion , without mercury , or mineral , and require no restraint in diet , loss of time , or hindrance from business : possessing the power of eradicating ever * symptom of the disease in its worst stage , m thoat the least exposure to the patient ; they are partictj . larly recommended to be taken before persons ente » into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions o * a parent are the sopite of vexation to him the r * . mainder of his existence , by afflicting his innocent bnt unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of a malignant , tendency and a variety of other com . plaints that are most assuredly introduced bytha same neglect and imprudence . It is only by purifying the vital stream from msj . dious disease , that the body can be preserved fa health and vigour . Hence the infinite variety < £ complaints an infected state of the blood induces , and hence the new and deceptive forms a tainted habit puts on , which often deceive the most eminent of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towardj a cure . In those disorders wherein salivation has left the patient uncured , weak , and disheartened , and whej no other remedy could restore the unhappy suffers ? to that health which he has unfortunatel y lost , tht Purifying Specific Pills will be found the onl y effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever been successful , though administered in many desperaU cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well «| removing Pimples from the Face , Sore Legs , « other disagreeable Eruptions on the head , face , and body .

We thonght that Preston , the strongkold of Hnnti-m , would , if wrong , very speedily right itself , and we did not miscalculate , as will appear by the following letter . We rf-joice to find that Mr . Harsden has returned to his old quarters . Preston , August 8 th , 1 S 41 .

      Dear Feasgcs , —I have no doubt bnt you will pardon the liberty I now take of writing a few lines to you , -when . I tell you I am a poor bat honest Caattiat Though unknown to you , I have ever been a warm admirer cf jronr principles , and , as far as my humble abilities would permit , ever ready fearlessly to advocate them . I formerly lived in Kendal ; till the last twelve months I have been residing in Preston . Soon after my residence here I was appointed President ol the Chartist Association , and was elected as delegate to the ilane&ester Delegate Meeting , at the time the roles of the National Charter Association underwent a revision . I only mention these things to shew you that I . am do impostor .

      prisoners , and stated that no man ought to beimpriacmad for stating his political opinions , either by speaking or writing , and the word sedition ought to be erased from the Statute Book ; such a thing as a political prisoner ought sever to be , and he would support a petition to that effect ; indeed , he would go the -whole length of the Charter . Sir G . Strickland the same , except the suffrage : he would lite to try Household first All these promises we vaiue not , except the release of Frost , &c The other candidate , Parker , Voold do nothing in our favour , and for th ?« be lost his ejection .

      The Whigs since then have commences an Operative Beform Association . They stnt out circulars for a meetirs to form this Association ; serea of these were Bent to tiie leading Chartists . We attended ; and of all the blarney you ever heard was bestcwed on the Chartists . The meeting -was ecniposed of the head manufacturers , lawyers , attorneys , fcc . They said th =-y ¦ would have no test or declaration , so tha > they could admit all parties . On the motion being about to be pne , one of our Chartists , Mr . Murphy , stood up and requested to move an amendment , " That the five points of the People ' s Chart « r be the test of admission . "

      It -was seconded . "What looks , vrhat consXernaVion appeared amongst them r One professed himself a Chartist , then another ; but theii main object was to join all grades , and called us illiberal . But they got a lashing they little expected , though they carried their motion , being so many in number . They then read a lot of names they had selected fox a Committee , When two or three Chartists were intermixed amongst the broad cloths ; but they immediately demanded their names to be erased . Much discussion ensued , bnt the gents begged we would only consider them as our friends , and not opponents . They have established a large reading room , ic

      We have had ont-door meetings , and challenged them to discussion ; but , alas ! they are chop-fslien . A few of the aristocratic woriing class have joined them , but not the sort they want Many new members have joined our ranks since this more . There are a few honest Chartists in Preston , . but poor . Never was ' a tender father more beloved by his children than you are by the people of Preston generally : many would go to the deata to serve you . We have got poor Richard Marsden to reside amongst us : he came a fortnight since , but , poor fellow : he is badly off He -will be a great Belp to us when he gets properly settled .

      BUNSLVT . —The Chartists of Hnnslet held their first we-kly meeting in their new room , situate in th « Fleece Yard , near the Stock * Hill , on Tue » d » y evening ¦ when several new members were enrolled , and officers &nd Council chosen for the ensuing quarter . It is intended to send for a quantity of the new issue of tickets from the Executive , as soon as the probable number wanttd shall be ascertained . Sunday evenings were appointed for preaching ; Tuesday evenings for lectures and reading ; to commence at half-past seven , Saturday evenings , commencing at half-past seven , for transacting the business of the Society , and receiving the contributions , and enrolling fresh members , and reading . It is particularly requested that all friends and members wh 9 possess old Slan , aud feel disposed to part with them , will bring what they can spare to

      the room on Saturday and Tuesday evenings next , for the purpose of having them immediately forwarded in a parcel to Ireland . Several stones in weight are already promised , and too many cannot be sent The prospects of this Society were never so promising : the outdour preachings have done great good , and the mouths of the mockers and objectors nave been stopped . Chartism is everywhere the subject ot conversation and scrutiny , and the great surprise is that the muchtalked of and dreaded physical-force doctrine cannot be found in it : all is peace on earth , and good-will to man . All friends are affectionately invited to join the Society immediately , and do their utmost , by a union of effort , to put down , by every legal and peaceful means , the direful rule and oppression that blasts the nation with its sway .

      STOCKPOBT . —Bexbow . —On Sunday evening , the Chartists ' -room , Bomber ' s-brow , which is capableof holding sis hundred people , was nearly filled with an audience of both sexes , to hear Mr . Benbow , who has snffered two years confinement in the Castle at Chester , for a sermon preached in this town a little more than two years ago . Mr . John 'Wright was called to the chair . Mr . Benbow spoke at some length to the following effect . He was once more in a condition to speak io them openly and freely ; indeed it had always been his motto to do so under all circumstances , and he trusted he should continue , notwithstanding the consequences . He took for his motto the words of St . Paul , " Prove all things and hold fast that which is good . " He -would stand upon the doctrines he preached to the

      people , beEause they were founded upon truth and justic ?; his canse was the cause of Gad , and thus it was that the tyrants covered their faces for shame , and wouldnct comeforward like honest men to hear the truth . He anticipated that some good might be done by sermtmiMDg—for if there ever was a good man -whose only object was to do good , who practised what he taught , and perfect in all his undertakings—a true Christian , a true Reformer , a true Republican , it was Jesus Carist The New Testament contains a rule of life . £ u Paul recommends every man to look after his o-srn affairs—the neglect of this rule had bten the means of bringing about most of the miseries aud misrule under which the people suffer ; they have left others to perform that for them which they should

      have done for themselves . By adopting that rule , by proving all things , they would be enabled to distinguish and secure the good—by intending to that rule , they would find out those who were actuated by probity and virtue , who were real friends , and be able to separate them from the cunning and crafty—from the tyrant and the upholder of tyranny—from those who would effectually strip them of every vestige of liberty , happiness , and right which belonged to them . Ignorance and degradation went hand in hand—a people who were inattentive to their own interest , and looked to others to do that which they should do for themselves , would be an easy prey to the subtle and crafty . It was tke interest of those who fattened upon the people ' s ignorance to draw a veil ov * r their eyes—to wrap

      truth in mystery , arid turn it to their advantage , -while they robbed them of their birthright , The subject under consideration required attention as well as consideration and care , because there would always be impostors in the world . The people must , tLen , Jake the advice of St Paul , "Prove all things , " to , improve their understandings , be determined not to be led by falsehood , and although seeking information might be an irksome task , it would always reward them a thousandfold . It would be a source of satisfaction to a man to know that he had arrived at truth , and thai he could detect impostors whe wished to palm erroneous and false assertions upon him ; and that he was elevated from the profound degradation in which

      he was sunk by ignorance and inattention to the sacred rights which the laws of God and Nature had blessed him with , and which the Divine Creator ordained hi ™ to enjoy , without the interference of lordly tyrants , who have usurped the privileges which belonged to their fello-w-creatures , by laws madtt by thfcinselves , and without the consent of the majority of the people . The speaker went on to shew many impositions -which have been practised from time to time upon the industrious people , under the garb of religion , and that such had been the casa he thought fe-w before him were willing to dispute . He eaid he would endeavour t © shew the urgent necessity of their perseverance in the obtainment and choice of that which

      was good . They were all interested in using their efforts to cast aside the veil of hypocrisy , and pay attention to and establish the facts and opinions consonant to the religion of Jesus Christ which he conceived were based upon truth and justice . It was intended by the great Creator , as fully illustrated in his works , that every human being should be in possession of nature ' s bounties and live in happiness and comfort . The principles of the gospel were eternal and never varying , adapted to all times , to all men , and to all places . It was good news to the -whole people . He begged to remind his friends that the gospel was not at variance with the liberties of mankind ; the mm who says it was , he hoped they would henceforth set down as an imposter , or one who wished either directly or

      indirectly to pick their pockets ; reasuning from the order of nature they would conclude there was perfect liberty , and be assured that be never contradicted in his word , what he fcsd made with his hands . The will of God was that mankind might be happy ; that waB the everlasting law of G » d . Now , notwithstanding the great diversity and modes of faith , even whtre the gospel had not been preached there -was sufficient to prove that all men ought to be just That virtue was eternal , and every individual was bound to seenre his own preservation from , hunger , and assist to make the whole of society happy . After touching upon several things , bearing upon his text , he sat down , his sermon having occupied an hour and a half . A vote of thanks was given to him at its conclusion .

      NEWCASTLE . —The Newcastle Chartists held their weekly meeting this evening , Moniay , Mr . Crothers in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of last meeting , which were confirmed . He likewise lead a letter from Mr . M'Gregor , of Edinburgh , for which they return him their hearty thanks . A lengthy discussion on various topics took place relative to a more efficient mode of organising the town and district , when Mr . Mason moved , and Mr . Franklandseconded , "That a deputation bo appointed to wait upon all persons known to be friendly to the Charter , and to request them to enrol their names in the National Charter Association ' s books , " which being put from the chair , was carried unanimously . There were a good many namts enrolled . The Treasurer reported tie

      contributions for the week , which are still on the increase . There was 16 s . lid . paid in to night for Mr . O'Brien ' s Petition Fund , which will be transmitted to the treasurer , Mr . O'Connor , on the 24 th instant . There waB 5 s . from the masons of Slateiey-bridge , paid in by Mr . W . Smith , &c . The Chartists have engaged the Ocean steamer for Sunday , the 22 nd , to take a pleasure trip to Hartley and Seaton Delavel Gardens—the proceeds to go for the good of the cause of liberty . A public meeting will be held at the most central colliery in the district during the stay of the boat at Hartley . The Newcastle Chartists meet every Monday evening at their long room , Chancellor ' s Head Yard , to transact buBiness , and to enrol the names of such as belive that the Charter should become the law of the land .

      TEOVIL . —There was a meeting of the Chartists of this town held on Monday week , when a discussion was finished which has occupied attention for three successive meeting nights , the question being— " Whether the elective franchise is the natural right of every man ?" We had great pleasure in having for our antagonist a gentleman wb » is a friend to the Chartist cause , but who considers Universal Suffrage to be a matter of expediency rather than of right . The question was maintained , -with great animation by each party ; and although the illiterate Chartists had to contend with a person who was well acquainted with the rules of logic , and who was moreover possessed of great knowledge , yet , with these attainments , he acknowledged himself to be defeated , er what is as good , he declared himself to be incapaV-le of grappling with a few plain

      questions which were put to him . This gentleman was not able to prove , with all his logical tact and talent , that the great First Cause created one man to be a slave , ; ind another to be free ^—that he gave to one man the power of domineering and tyrannising over liis fellow-man , or that G > d gave to a few individuals the right of making laws to the exclusion of all the others . He was unable to prove that society was not constructed for the good of all , and that , consequently , all ought to participate in the management of the affairs of that society . After the debate was closed , a vote of thanks waa unanimously given to Messrs . BainbrMge and Stevens , for the able manner in which they advocated the Chartist cause , at a meeting held at the ' rnitarian Chapel , for the purpose of sending a delegate to the Manchester Conference .

      BARNSLET . —The Chartists held their weekly meeting at Mr . Hoey ' s house on Monday night , when it was decided that the public meeting on Bamsley Feast Monday should be held at one o'clock in the afternoon . Mr . Harney and Mr . T . B . Smith will address the meeting . It is hoped those two gentlemen will contrive to be in Barnsley as early on that day as possible . Mr . Peter Hoey ' s case was -then brought forward , whon Mr . Frank Mirfield stated that the Committee appointed to send him to Ireland , borrowed £ 5 for that purpose frem Mr . Lewis , a friend of Mr . Peter Hoey ' s : since then £ 4 more have been borrowed of that gentleman , which has been remitted to Mr . Hoey some time since . Only £ 1 of this money has been repaid to Mr . Lewis . Of course £ 8 is still owing . We hope our brother Chartists in other towns will enable us to meet thiB demand , and alse to keep our friend in Ireland a short time longer . They are requested to remit their subscriptions to Mr . Feargus O'Connor .

He then pointed out to the middle classes the injustice that would be

      practised on them if working men were to exclude them from the enjoyment of the franchise ; went into the principles of the Charter , and in the most clear and convincing manner , pointed out the truth and justice of its various clauses . He concluded amidst the most enthusiastic applause . Mr . Chandley moved aresolution , pledging the meeting to agitate for nothing but the Charter , which was carried with enthusiasm . Mr .
