I applied here to all the principal medical men , as also to those in Birmingham , without getting the least relief , at last I was recommended by Mr Thomas Simpson , Stationer , Market , place , to try your pills and ointment , wkich I did , and I am happy to say , that I may consider myseli as thoroughly cured ; I can now sleep aU the night through , and the pains in mj back , and limbs have entirely left me .

      In introducing the following Testimonials to the notice of tha public , it may not be out of place in giving a few observations respecting Parr ' s Life Pills . This medicine has been before tiie British puMic only a fen years , and perhaps in the annals of the world was never seen success equal to their progress ; the virtues of this Medicine were at once acknowledged wherever tried , aud recommendation followed recommendation ; hundredshadsoon to acknowledge that Parr ' s Life Pills had saved them , aud were loud in their praise . The startling facts that were continuall y brought before the public at once removed any prejudice which some may have felt ; the con .-tinnal good which resulted from their use spread their fame far and wide , at this moment there is scarcely a country on tho face of the globe which has not heard of their benefits , and have sought for supplies , whatever might be the cost of transmission . The United States , Canad :., India , and even China have had immense ?« « - ties shipped to their respective countries , and With the same result as in England— UNivzasAt GOOD . The general use of this medicine , having been the result of tho benefits experienced by thousands of persons , and that the knowledge of such be useful to all , we recommend a careful perusal of the following Testimonials . The sale of Parr's Life Pills amounts to upwards of 30 , 000 boxes weekly , more than all other patent medioines put together .

Fitim ' ?«< w « , Member ?/ the Boyal College of Surgeons , London ; late Aeiistant Surgeon in ihe Son . Fast India Company ' s IT IS a strange anomaly in the practice and progress of medical science in this country , that amongst aU the benevolent and noble institutions established for tho alleviation of human misery , there exists but one devoted to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of the Skin . It is a truth well known to the member ? of the faculty , tbat the ravages of these stubborn and enduring plagues of human life are more extensive than those of any other known disorder , there being little short of half-a-millioa of patients annually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject fu ly recognised , and the exertions of men of science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to tho Hospital ot St . Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to the euro of Sitin Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present day writes thus : — ' Sinoo the grave has closed over the labours of Uatemas , the culture of Diseases of tlit Skla in this country , as a distinct branch of Medical Science , has slept . Not so in France : successor after successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , Jyis . glided through the moving panorama of life , from fp days ot Lorry to our own , till St .

' Surely here Is an example to this country which we ore bound jealously to emulate . The writer fee . ' s that the mportanco and necessity of a simlar establishment in England can never be too ranch insisted upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and the almost insurmountable difficulty { of acquiring accurate knowledge as to their modes of treatment—connected with the immense numbers of the suffering parties--ren . der this desideratum actually the greatest under whieh these islands at present labour , in a sans '« ry point of euw . These diseases are so numerous ar imultiform in appearance and effect , and present such an infinite variety in diagnosis , that it is hopeless to'expect any approach to specific remedies from the uncertain results of individual aad scattered practice

Spencer , surgeon , < fcc , Salford , Manchester ; deservedly celebrated as . the most successful practitioner in all Pulmonary affections ; Of all complaints incident to the human frame , those of the Lungs appear to bo most peculiar to this climate , especially in damp , foggy weather , and during the winter months ; whilst persons of every age and station in life , are alike the subjects of attack . Sfkncbr ' s Pulmonic Emxib is admirably adapted to promote expsctoration , ease the breathing , loosen the phlegm , abate fever , allay the tickling sensation which occasions the cough , without tightening the chest . The Polmonic Emxib was originally prepared by the late Mr Spaucor , whoso signal success in dispensing it can have the ready testimony of thousands , who have experienced its efficacy . The receipt is now solely known to the present proprietors , who purchased it from the widow of the inventor . The two great characteristics of the Elixir are , the allaying of all irritation in tho delicate and susceptible coating of tbe throat and chest ; and theimparting of tone and vigour to the respiratory organs , whereby they are enabled to discharge their functions freely , and thus to overcome all difficulty of breathing arising from a cold , foggy , or impure atmosphere , and to throw off those insidious attacks which too often lay the groundwork of Consumption . For all temporary and local affections , as Wheezing , Irritation of tho Throat , Huskiness of Voice , and Influenza , the PotMONic Eluir gives instantrelief , whilein more Chronic Disorders ( asperiedical Coughs or inveterate Asthma , ) it is equally efficient , ' though of course requiring a little more perseverance in the use of the medicine . Innumerable cases of well attested cures have been received by the Proprietors of Spevchu ' s Pdiiiomo Etttia ; the following is tho most recent : — Messrs Mottbiished and Co .. of Manchester , beg to hand the following testimonial , jtist received by them , addressed to the Proprietors of SmsceS ' s Profile Elixir .

Happir there i g one country where men may yet speak the truth , and M . Bakounin will not be expelled from England s Bho ^ ft JaENMEHSH . —The present moment la a very solemn one for me . Though & Russian , I appear in this numerous osssmbly united in order to celebrate tha anniver-Aarr of tna . Polisb Revolution , and whose presence heri is like a challenge , — like a . menace , and a malediction thrown in the face of all tho oppressors of Poland . I come hew , gentlemen , animated with a profound love and an unshaken esteem for my fatherland I know riIy well how unpopular Russia is in Europe . The Poles regard hep , not without some reason , as at oneoftbe principal cause , of their misfortunes Independent man of other countries perceive m the rapid development of her power a continually increasing daneer for the liberty of nations . Eierjwbere the name of Russia appears « synonymous with brutal oppres . mn and shameful slavery . In the European opinion a Ka * . sian is nothing else but a vile instrument of conquest in the hands of the most odious and dangerous despotism . Gentlemen , it i « not in order to dieculpate Huidia of the crimes of which she is accused , it is not in order to den y " troth that I ascend this rostrum . 1 ?) I dont wish to aVerapt an impossibility . Truth becomes now more than ever a necessity for my country . Well , yes , vra are still a people of slaves I With no liberty , no respect for human dignity It Is a hideous despotism , without any stop In its caprices , without any limit in its action . No rights , no justice , ne shelter from tyranny ; we have nothing of what constitutes the dignity and prido of nations . It is impossible to imagine a more unfortunate and humiliating position .

      Abroad , our position is not less deplorable . Passive fulflllers of a thought which is not ours ; of a will which is opposed both to our interests and to our honour ; we are feared , hated , and , I was about to say , almost despised for everywhere we are considered as the enemies of civilisation and humanity . Our masters use our arm » in order to enchain the world , —to subjugate nations , — and eTeryoae of thel * successes 1 b & neiv shame added to our history . Without speaking of Poland , where , elnee 1772 , sn « especially since 1831 , we have degraded ourselves every day by atrocious . violences , —by infamies without a name— . what a talierablo character havo we not been

      forced to perform in Germany , Italy , Spain , even in France , and everywhere our noxious influence could penetrate 1 Is there , since 1815 , a single noble cause against which we have not struggled , —a single bad cause which we have not assisted , —a single political iniquity which we have not either instigated or assisted ? By a fatality , indeed , moat deplorable , and ef which she is herself the victim , Russia has become , since her entering into tbe ranks of a first-rate power , an encourager to crime , and an enemy to all the sacred iaterests of man . kind ! Owing to the execrable policy of our sovereigns , the name of a Russian signifies , in tho official sense of the word , slave and hangman !

      As you see , gentlemen , I have a perfect knowledge of my own position ; yet still I present myself here as a Russian , not though a Russian , but because I am a Russian . In coming forward I am quite conscious of the responsibility which lies upoa me , and upon all other individuals of my country , because the hononr of iodividuals'is Inseparable from the national honour ; without this responsibility , without this intimate union between the nations and their governments , between individuals and nations , there would ba neither fatherland nor nation . ( Applause . ) This responsibility , this mutuality iH the crime , gentlemen , I never did feel more painfully than at this moment , because tho anniversary you are just now celebrating is , for yourselves , a great remembrance —a remembrance of a holy insurrection , and of

      a heroic struggle , —a remembrance of ene of the finest epochs of national life . ( Prolonged cheering . ) You were all present at that magnificent vibration of your people , —you took an active part in the struggle , —you were its actors and heroes . You seemed to have devised , spread , exhausted in this holy war , ail that the great Polish soul contains of enthusiasm , of devotedness , of strength , and of patriotism ! Overwhelmed by numbers , you at last fell . But the revolution of this eternally memorable epoch remained inscribed in bright characters on your hearts . You eamo from this war quits regenerated ; re . generated and strong , armed against the temptations of misfortune , against the suffcringo of exile ; full of pride for your past , foil of hopes for your futurity ! Tho anniversary of the 29 th of November , gentlemen , is not only

      a great remembrance for you , it is also a warrant tor your speedy deliverance , —for a speedy return to your country . ( Applause . ) For ' me , as a Russian , it is the anniversary of a shame , —yes , of a great national shame ! I declare it loudly : the war of 1831 wan on onr part an absurd , criminal , fratricide war . It was not only an unjust attack upon a neighbouring people , but a monstrous ' attempt against tha liberty of a brother . It was even more , gentlemen ; on the part of my country it was a political suicide . ( Applause . ) This war was undertaken for the interest of despotism , and by no means for that of the Russian nation , because these two interests are opposed to each other . The emancipation of Poland would have been our salvation . Poland once free / tve , too , would have | been free . You , Poles , you could aot

      overthrow the throne of the king of Poland without terribly shaking that of the Emperor of Russia . ( Applause . ) Children of the same r . ice , onr destinies are inseparable , and our cause ought to be one . ( Applause , ) You well understood that when on your revolutionary flags you inscribed those Russian words : ' Z » nashol ce za vashvi voluostl' ( For our and your liberty . ) ( Applause . ) You did well understand that when at the most critical moment of your strugle , when braving the fury of Nicholas , the whole population of Warsaw , inspired by a great idea of brotherhood , assembled , in order to render & public and solemn homage to our heroes and martyrs of 1825 , to Pastel , to ReleWff , to Moravieff . Apostol , to Bestujeff . Roumin , and to Kehoffakee , hung at St Petersburgh for having been tha first citizens of Russia ! Ah !

      gentlemsn , you neglected nothing to convince us of your sympathising disposition towards ns—for moving our hearts—for drawing us from our blindness . But in vain ! Your efforts were lost ! As soldiers of the Tsar , we were deaf to your appeal ; not able to see or to understand anything , we marched against you , and the crime was accomplished . Gentlemen , of all your oppressors , of all the enemies of your fatherland , thoso who hava the most deserved your malediction and hatred are vra ! But still it is not merely as a repenting Russian that I came here . I dare to . proclaim before you my love and my veneration for my country . I dare still more , gentlemen , I am bold enough to invite you to an alliance with Rus . sin . I feel bound to explain myself . It is nearly a year ago : it was , I believe , after the Gfallician massacres ,

      when a Polish nobleman , in a letter extremely eloquent , which became so famoua . end was directed to Prince Met . ternich , made toyou a strange proposition . Overpowered , no deubt , by & hatred , very legitimate , against the Austriaus , he advised you to nothing less than to submit to the Tsar ; to give yourselves , body and soul , up to him , fully , unconditionally , and without restriction ; he advised you to do voluntarily , what you have done up to the present time—youhave only done because you could not avoid it ; and he promised you , as a compensation , that as soon as you would consent to be slaves , your master , in spite of himself , would beeome your brother . Your brother , gentlemen;—do you hear that 1 The Emperor Nicholas your brother ! ( 'No , no ! ' Great agitation . ) The oppressor , the most bitter and personal enemy o '

      Poland , the executioner of so many victims—( 'bravo ! bravo ! bravo ! ' )—the destroyer of your freedom , the man who persecutes you with an infernal perseverance , as well through hatred and Instinct as through policy , — should yon be Inclined to accept him as your brother ? ( Cries from all sides ' No ! no ! no ! ' ) Every one « f you would rather prefer to perish —( 'yee ! yes !')—I leas ** li very well ;—• every one of you would r » 6 W > gee Poland perishing than to consent to eater into such a monstrous alliance , ( 'Bravol *) But allow me to ad . mit the possibility of it for a moment . So you know , gentlemen , what would be the surest means of inflicting much harm to Russia ! It would be your submission to the Tsar . Br that he would acquire a sanction for his policy , and such a powerful strength that nothing in the

      world could henceforth put a stop to it . Woe to us , if this anti . national policy could ever predominate over all tbe obstacles which still oppose themselves to its en . tire realisatian ! aad it cannot be contested that the first , the greatest , cf these obstacles , is Poland is the desperate resistance of this heroic people , which , b \ struggling against us redeem us , ( Applause . ) Yes , tt is be " , csusa you are the enemies of Nicholas , the enemies or official Russia , that you are naturally , and even without knowing it , the friends of the Russian people ! ( Ap planse . ) It Is generally believed in Europe , I know it , that we form with our government an indivisible whole ; that we fuel ourselves very huppy uader Nicholas ' s government ; does he and his system , oppressing at home and invading abroad , perfectly represent our national genius . No such thing , gentlemen!—No , gentlemen , the people of Ruatia don't feel happy—and it is with joy , with pjidft , that I can affirm it . for , if In such a state afabjactaess under which they are languishing , the ?

      could still ba happy , they would he the most despicable people of the world . We , toe , wo are governed b y a foreign hand—by a sovereign of German blood—who will never understand neither the wants ., uor the character of the Russian people , and whose government this singular mixture of Mongolian brutality , an ] Prussian pedantry , excludes completely tho natloaal element . So much so , that , deprived of every political right , we have not even this natural , aad co-to-say patriarchal liberty , which the least civilised people enjoy , and which , at least , permits the men to reposa his heart on a native bosom , and to abandon himself entirely to the instincts of his race . No , we havo got nothing of that ; we are not allowed to make a single natural gesture , or the least free movement . We ate almost prohibited to live , for every life implies a certain degree of independence , and we are nothing else but the inanimate mechanism of this menstrous engine of oppression and conquest , called the Russian empire . Well . gentlemen , admit a soul into the

Every one has the presentiment of the &»

      Ing terrifio tempest , which frightens many penonn iJ which the nation Invokes with Joy . ( Tremendous a ' colj motion . ) The internal affairs of the country go on r badly . It is a thorough anarchy with all the appearand of order . Under the exterior of a hierarchical , exc sivelj rigorous formalism , hideous wounds are bidfe our administration , our Justice , our finances Ju st so many lies : lies invented for the pu ' nJI of deceiving the opinion abroad ; lies imagine ™ order to lull the security and the conscience of () ' sovereign , who submit the more voluntaril y it , as the real state of things frightens him . u i finally , an organisation on a large scale ; an orgaoh , tion , so to aay , studied and clover in iniquity , barbj , iem and pillage : because oil tbe servants of the TV from those who occupy tho highest functions to ' fl

And herela is the secrete bis utter im ' petence for doing any good I For thii »« vernment , which , appears so Imposing from a distune . Is quite impotent at home ; it is unsuccessful in ev « r , thing , all tha reforms it undertakes turn into nonentit !

      Having for ita basis two of the most vile passions o ! \ h human heart—venality and fe » r—working oateido of all tbe national instincts , and interests . and ' of aHtheviy strengthof the country—authority in Russia becomes , bi its own proceedings , every day weaker and weaker , and is disorganising Itself frightfully . It agitates itself-, it mores ia every direction—it changes at everjr men ]™ its projects and j ideas—It undertakes many things a ) once , but does not realise a single one . The only thin , of which it is never in want , is the power of creatiw evils ; and it makes an extensive use of it , as if it uert anxious to hasten the moment of its own ruin . Strasgt and hostile to the country In which it exists , \\ j , destined to a speedy downfall , Everywhere are In enemies ; and those enemies are the formidable mat ; (

      peasants , who no longer look to the emperor for thtj emancipation , and of whom the insurrections , dayafta day more frequent , prove tbat they are tired of waiting any longer ; It la an Intormadiata dans extremely num er . ou » and composed of very diverse elements ; a class turbg , lent , and which will throw itself passionately into tbe first revolutionary movement . It is , moreover , this in , numerable army spread over the whole surface of the empire . Nicholas , it Is true , looks npoa his eoldlera as his . best friends , as the most fir m supporters of bis throne ; but that is an illuaioa which will not fail to prove fatal to him . What ! tha men who are taken from the ranks of the people—who are so profoundly unfortunate—whom they tear most brutally away from their families—whom they parsm like wild beasts in the forest , where they conceal tbtm , selves , and where they very often mutilate themsshei

      in order to escape the recruiting—who are conveyed to their regiments with their chains on their limbs , whet ) they are condemned for more than twenty years , thai is to say , for a . man ' s life , to an existence of hell , flogged every day , subjected every day to fresh fatigues , and every day dying by hunger ; can these men be the supper . ten of ais throne ({ Almighty God ! what a set . of creatures would they then be , those Russian soldiers , if , is spite of suck tortures , they could love the hand that in . flicts them , ' Be strongly convinced , gentlemen , our soldiers are the most dangerous enemies of the present state of things—those of the life-guards especially , who , seeing the evil at its source , cannot be deceived abeut the only real cause of all their sufferings . Our soldiers are the people itself , yet more dissatisfied ; the ; are the portion of the people entirely undeceived—the armed portion , accustomed to discipline and to a

      common action . Do you wast a corroboration of it ? h all the late disturbances of tbe peasantry , the dismissed soldiers have displayed the greatest activity—they have performed the principal characters in them . In order to terminate the review of the enemies of the Russian government , I am bound to tell you , gentlemen , tbat amongst the youth of the nobility , there is a great nam . ber of enlightened , generous , patriotic men , who , think , ing of our position , blush from shame and horror—who feel disgusted at their being slaves-who are all ani . mated by an implacable hatred against tbe emperor aad his government . * Ah ! gentlemen , believe it , revolu tionary elements are not wanting in Russia ! She animatestierself—she coacentrates herself—and the moment

      is not far from us when the great storm , onr common salvation , will burst ! ( Applause . ) Gentlemen , it is in tho name of this new society , of / thia true Russian nation , that I propose to you aa aUiance . ( Applause . ) The idea , ol a revolutionary alliance between Poland and Russia is not a new thing . It was ( and you know it well ) al ready conceived hy the conspirators of both countries in 1824 . Gentlemen , the remembrance I evoke fills my ou 1 with pride . The conspirators of tbat time were tbe first to overstep the abyss which appeared to separate us for ever from each other . Taking no advice bat from their own patriotism—braving all the prejudices which you very naturally entertained against all that bor j the name of a ; Russian — they came t » you tbe first , without any arriere-pensee what .

      aver ; they came to propose te you a [ common action against our mutual enemy—our only foe . ( Applause . ) You will pardon me , gentlemen , this movement of involuntary pride . A Russian who likes his country cannot speak coldly of those men ; they are our glory , and 1 am happy to be able to proclaim it loudly before this large and noble assembly—before a Polish assembly , ( Applause . ) They are our saints , our heroes—the martjrs of our liberty—the prophets of our futurity ! ( Applame . ) From abeve their gibbets—from the besom of Siberia , even , where those who were aot hung still are groining , they were and are our salvation , our li ght—the source of all our good aspirations—our safeguard against tbe cursed influences of despotism—our testimony before you and the whole world that Russia contain * in her

      bosom all tho elements of freedom and of real grandeur . ' Shame , shame , to those amongst us who would not acknowledge it 1 ( Applause . ) Gentlemen , it is by invoking their great names—it is by supporting myself with their mighty authority , that I appear before you as a brother , and jou will Hot repulse me , I presume . ( From all tides : — « No , bo ! ' ) I am not invested with a legal authority for addressing you in this manner ; but , without any rain pretension , I feel that in this solemn moment the Russian nation itself speaks to you through my mouth . ( Applause . ) I am not the only man in Russia who loves Poland , and who feels for her that enthusiastic admiration , that passionate ardour , that profound sentiment , mixed with repentance and hope , which I will never be able to depict to you in its true light . The known of

      unknown friends who share in my sympathies , in my opinions , are i > umerous —( applause)— and I could easily furnish to you proofs of it by quoting facts and names , if I were not in fear of compromising unnecessaril y many persons . It is in their name , gentlemen—It is in the name of all that lives , that is generous in my couatry , that I offer * you a fraternal hand . ( Great applause . ) Enchained by a fatal destiny , by a Ion ; and dramatic history , of which we all undergo now the aad consequences , our two countries have detested each other during a long time past . But tha hour e ? reconciliation has strock ; it Is time that our dissensions bo at an end . ( Applause . ) Our crimes towards you are enormous ! you have much to forgive us ! But our repentance is not less ; and we feel in ourselves a power of good-wUl , which shall be strong enough to atone for the wrongs Indicted upon you , and to make

      you forget the past . And tnen our mutual hatted will change into love—into a love so ' much the stronger as our hatred was implacable . ( Applause . ) As long as we remained disunited , we mutually psralysed ourselves ; united , we will be allmighty in good exertions . Nothing can resist our common action . The reconciliation of Russia and Poland is aa immense work , and worthy of our entire devotion . It will be the emancipation of sixty millions of human beings ; it will be tbe liberation of all the Slavonian people who are groaning under a foreign j oke ; and , finally , It will be the definitive downfall of despotism in Europe ! ( Applause . ) May it then come on , this day ot reconciliation—the day in which the Russians , united with you by the same feelings , Sjhtlng for the same cause and against a common enemy , will acquire the right of cb & unting in unison with you your national air , j this hymn of Slavonian freedom :- »

      • Yesbchai Tolska nye zgheenella !' ( Poland is not yet lost . ) These last words were received with an explosion of applause , and a long continued agitation followed this speech .
