LETTER FROM MR . W . HICK , NORTHERN STAB OFFICE , LEEDS . "Northern '' . Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . < C P ENTLEMEN , —You will oblige by forward-U ing , at your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing , I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence of the great good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public . health . The fact is , however , prejudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .

The nrstiweettnj& was held on Tuesday night in the Golden Iilou-Room ; Messrs . Burnett , Taylor , Pringlc , and Williams . -were th i speakers . The meeting being Merely ft preliminary
one ; a committee was appointed for tbe purpose of ascertaining the extent of the existing distress , and devising the means to be taken to efifect an altara-tisu of it On Wednesday evening another meeting wa& | i $ d ; Messrs . Pierce , Burnett , and others spolCfc i ^ BS ( flommittee reported that they had prepared . dw ^ jjo * collecting tbe names of trades and reatdeneerof those butof employment ; also , the number of theirfamilies , length of time out of employment , &c The names of about two hundred persons were attached to tbe sheets , from which it appeared that some bad been even fifty weeks out of employment ; many between thirty and forty ; and the average were between twenty and thirty . Deputations were then appointed to wait upon the magistrates and Board ef Guardians . On Thursday , the deputation waited upon the magistrates . None but Tories were on ths bench . Mr . James Hartley ,
glass manufacturer , Insolently told the poor fellows that , if he could , he would not relieve them , because their language was intimidating . This was a base falsehood ; they had merely stated that the law of the land ought to provide them relief , or , if it did not ^ the law of nature and the law of the lmd would be opposed to each other . Next day ( Friday ) they waited upon the Board of Guardians . There was a very full meeting , and they were received in a much more creditaMe manner by the Board . The decision of the Board was that all those who required relief were to apply individually , they ( the Board ) would then give them employment at breaking stones , and other work , according to tbe number of their families ; but for single men they had no relief . Many have since been employed in breaking stones , and at other employment , at 18 . per head per day .
On Friday Evening , another meeting was held to receive the report of the deputation , and to adopt such , other -measures as might be necessary . After able speeches from Messrs . Pierce , Smith , Burnett , and others , various resolutions were adopted , and it was determined to hold an out-door meeting on Monday evening . Tew . \ Moor Meeting . —On Monday evening , upwards of 2 . 000 persons assembled at this meeting ; Mr . Burnett being called to the chair , Mr . Pierce , Mr . Jones , Mr . Bruce , ( grocer ) , and Mr . Williams addressed it Various appropriate resolutions were adopted , and arrangements made for carrying into full effect tke objects of the meeting .
Bishop Auckland . —On Monday tbe usual weekly meeting of the Chartists took place , when after transacting Boine business , the meeting was adjourned till Sunday , the 5 th of June , to commence at half . past two o ' clock precisely , when business of importance connected with the election of the new Executive will be transacted ; and also preliminary steps will be entered into towards carrying a public meeting of the inhabitants to adopt the memorial to the Queen , and remonstrance to the Home of Commons , which emanated from the Convention . It is particularly requested that every Chartist in and about the suburbs of Bishop Auckland will see the necessity at this important crisis to attend , so that we may act up to the recommendations given by the Editor of tbe Northern Star to appoint good and faithful men to fill the important office of Executive .
CARLISLS . —The council of the Chartist Association held their usual weekly meeting , in the councilroom , No . G , John-street , Caldergate . Mr . William Enatt in the chair . A letter was read from Mr . John Cleave , publisher of the Chartist Circular , acknowlodging the receipt of a copy of tbe " Address to the Middle Classes and Traces of Carlisle ; " also Btating the great want of success of the sale of that excellent and useful little publication , the Chartist Circular , ' and the great loss which he ( Mr . Cleave ) had sustained by it This statement surprised the members of the council , who seemed to deeply regret the limited sale of bo talented , useful , and cheap a publication ; more
especially as it was wholly devoted to the promotion of the Chartist cause . From the unparalleled cheapness of this publication , it will require a very extensive sale to make it pay ; still , we consider , that the Charti&t body generally are sufficiently numerous to secure a paying circulation . Each member of the council promised to use every exertion in his power to promote its sale , more especially as Mr . Cleav-j has generously offered to aid the Executive , providing means can be devised to make the Circular pay . Minutes of the la&t meeting of tbe council were read over and confirmed . A number of Fleet Papers were divided , and ordered to be circulated ( for reading ) in the various
I districts . It may ba proper to state , that Mr . R . \ Oastler had forwarded a very large package , of various 1 numbers , of this excellent publication , to a Mr . Fish-. burn , for circulation among tbe working classes . The s ecrttary then stated that he had received three large volumes of Reports of the Commission appointed to inquire into mines , from P . H . Howard , Esq ., M . P . for Carlisle , which be would lay npon the tabie for the use of the members of the Association . Mr . J . B . Hanson then moved , and Mr . John Armstrong seconded , the following resolution , which was unanimously carried : —" That the cordial thanks of this council are due , and are hereby given , to P . H . Howard , Esq ., M . P . for Carlisle , for his attention and kindness in forwarding the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into mines . " The - secretary was then instructed to nominate P . M . M ~ D > uall , as one of the new Executive te represent Carlisle .
BACUP . —The men cf Bacup are going ahead gloriously , although they have hat * to ' contend against a host of difficulties which their determined conduct has surmounted . At a meeting held on Tuesday evening , the 24 th instant , in the Chartist Room , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : —" That we , the Chartists of Bacup , in public meeting assembled , do solemnly pledge ourselves never te sign another petition , seeing the rascally manner in which tie prayer of three millions and a half of tbe people has been treated ; at the same time , we will nevtr cease in our exertions untii the People ' s Charter become the law of land . "
Meeting . —At a meeting held on Sanday last , " a Accrington , at the house of Mr .

William Jagg , until the said p-rson do make good his charge iu public againBt Mr . William Jagg , and he will meet the said individual at aiiy place he may appoint , to give him an opportunity to make good this charge , if he does not comply with this , the Chartists of Bacup will consider his assertions false , and that he did not speak the truth . Any commnnicatienB from him , directed to Mr . Thomas Shackleten , shoemaker , Bacup , near Rochdale , will be attended to . " SOWERBy . -Last Sunday afternoon Mr .
