      TO THE READERS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . npiIE Readerg of this Newspaper will have seea JL advertised every week for a long period an account of the benefits arising from taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS .

      DUJvPEBMIilNE . —Mr . O'BrieD , by Invitation , visited Ducfermline on Tuesday , the 1 st of March , and delivered a lecture in the evening , bj setting btf jre us tke injustice of onr laws , and their bad effects upon society ; tbe remedy and the goed that would result to the community from having thess laws changed and reformed . A futile and unsuccessful attempt at opposition -was get up by one Merrison . PERTH . —Mr . O'Brien baa been lecturing to the female Chartists of Perth , to their great satisfaction . A notice was sent to us last week , but not received till our papers for the Scotch posts were printed .

      AYR . —The Chartists of Ayr have been well supplied with lectures ef late . Mr . Thompson , minister of the Chartist congregation , Greenock / lecturi d on the present aspect of affairs , and gave great satisfaction . He delivered three eloquent discourses on Sunday to lar ^ e audiences . Mr . Thompson is a decided favourite in this place . The Secretary of the Working Men ' s Association followed on Monday evening , by delivering a lecture on the benefits arising from a Repeal of the Corn Laws under class legislation . The attendance was

      numerous . After the address , the meeting took up tbe subject of the National Petition . The Sottish Petition was moved ani seconded . Some of the meeting were of opinion that tho Scottish Petition would not be numerously signed , and that to preserve union , it would be better to adopt the petition emanating from the Council of thp Euglish ISxecutive . An amendment , in accordance with the above opinion , was duly proposed and seconded , when , after considerable discussion , the Chairman divided tae house , and the amendment was declared carried *

      PAISLEY . —GREA . T AND GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE PEOPLE AND REAL CHARTISM . OVER MIDDLE Class , stvrge , asd Hvzibvg Cuartish — Hew , on Thursday evening , March 3 rd . a public meeting of tbe inhabitants was held in tku R « v . Mr . Baird ' s Cnuicb , St . James ' s Street , the Lord Provost in the chair , for the purpose of effecting a union of the middle and working classes upon the Joseph Sturge suffrage plan of reform , when a great many of the middle-class ; men , and clergy of the town , backed by Provost Hende : spn , of Whig-Radical notoriety , appeared upon the platlorm , before ag orious display of working men , with a little sprinkling of the middle class , the piace being crammed to suffocation . Of course the Provost was called to the chair , and the Chartists , in courtesy , offered no

      opposition , reserving their uptight and manly decision to a more important occasion . The business of tho meeting vvas opened by tbe Bav . Mr . Kennedy proposing the first resolution , to the tfiact that prudent , active , and vigorous measures be taken t j secure to the people a fall , fair , and free representation in the Commons ' House of Parliament . The speaker laboured long and hard to convince the meeting that this was the soul of the Charter , the only difference , in his estimation , being that it wanted the namo ; but the Chartists , ever awake to this species of ' cajolery , told him several times that it would not do , Mr . Kennedy ; that is not our Charter ; we will not be satisfied with less than the six points . ' The resolution was seconded by thu Rev . Mr . Cairns , one of the delegates to the late Corn

      Law Conferacce in London ; when loJ to the-astonishment cf all present , the Rev . Patrick Brewster came forward , and told Mr . Kennedy that he had created a man of straw , and had concluded his hour and a half's contradictions by giving his ghost of suffrage a kick , when he tumbled over , and was no aiora heard of . Roars of laughter followed this exoressiun , with cries of " Yes , yes . " Brewster pleaded his own cause nobiy , reading a very severe and sarcastic lesson to his brethren the clergy , and the middle-class men in particular , and concluded bis able speech by moving , as an amendment "the Chatter , the whole Chatter , and nothing but the Charter , " as our friend Mr . O'Connor has said , " snout , bristles , and al . " The working men were rather taken by surprise , as they had an amendment the same in substance as Brewsler ' a ; but seeing that he was in the right track they gave way , and supported him . A Mr . Osborne seconded the amendment The

      Chairman put them to the vote , when a forest of blistered hands were held up for the amendment , and I am within the truth when I state that only forty were h&ld up for the original m . 'tion . The Chairman declared the amendment carried by a large majority , when three cheers were given for the Charter , three for the exiled patriots , Frust , Williams , and Jones , and last , but not least , three fur the giant pat ' iot . Feargus O'Connor . Ths -working men of Paisley have nobly done their duty on the present occasion ; after suffering the extreme ef destitution for the last nine mouths , their devotion to the Charter of their liberty , amid all their serif us calculations and dreary forebodings , really to say the least of it , redounds to their honour , and deserves the thanks of the imperial Chartists throughout the empire . Faieweli , then , and for uver , middleclass and clerical humbug in Paisley ! The people are resolved to stand or fall by the Charter {—Correspondent

      BRISTOL- —On Sunday evening a lecture was delivered by Mr . Forsbury , Lt No . 10 , Nelson-street , after which , the following resolution waa proposed by Mr . Simeon , seconded by Mr . Copp , " That in the opinion of this meeting , thu conduct of our firm , resolute , and indefatigable patriot , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., in placing onr Charter before every meeting of the anti-CornLaw League , sometimes to the imminent danger of his life , is deserving of the esteem and gratitude of every lover of his country : and that so lontc as he
