ABEB & ETHY'S PH » S OXHTMENT . y "What a painful and nwdons disease is the Piles ! and comparatively how few of the afflicted have been psnnaaentlyrured by ordinary appeals to medical skill ! This , w doubt , arises from the use of powerful aperients too freoiMutiy administered by the profession ; indeed , strong internal medicine should always be aveided in aU cases of this complaint . The proprietor of tha above ointment , after years ; pf acute suffering , placed himself under the treatment ofthatiminent surgeon . Mr Abernethy , was by hiru _ restored to perfect health , and thus enjoyed it -wcr since without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen jears , during which timethesame ' Aber- ' aethianprescription ' hasbeeatiicmraasofhealuisa . vast numbor of desperate cases , both in and out of the proprietor ' s circles of friends , most ofwhich cases had been under medical cave , aud some of them fora veryc « n-Sderatle time .

DISPENSARY FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN ASD ALL CUTANEOUS AFFECTIONS Hampstead Street , Fitzroi Square . Physician—THOMAS 1 MIS , M D ., 23 . Fitzroy square , Member of the Royal College cf Surgeons , London ; , late - Assistant Surgeon in \ he Hon . East India Company ' s e . IT IS a strange anomaly in the practice and projvess of medical science iu this country , tltat amongst all the benwolont and noble institutions established for the 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 members of tke faculty , that thorav . iges of these stubborn and enduring pl . sgm . -s of human life are more csteusivo than those of any other known disorder , there being little short of half-a-million of patients » n » ually 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 liobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St . Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to the cure of Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present d % y w rites thus : — ' Sinta the gravehas closed over the labours of UateinaR , the culture of Diseases of tlit Ski * in this country , as a distinct branch of Medical Science , has slept . * Not so . in France : > successor after successor , each equally eminent with Ids precursor , has . glided through the moving panorama of life , from tho 'days ot Lorry to our own , till St : Louis Hospital has become no less deserving of fame than St Louis , the tutelary shade of that magnificent establishment . ' ¦ ... Surely here is an example to this country which we are bound j'a ' ously to emulate . The writer fe & s that the mpo--tanco and necessity of a simlar establishment in England can never be too ranch insisted upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and thialmost insurmountable difficulty lof acquiring accurate knowledge as to their modes of ' trcatment-connei-. ted with tho Immense numbers of the suffering parties- render this desideratum actually the greatest under which these islands at present labour , inasauaVry point ot diaw . Those diseases are so numerous ar 'multiform 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 and scattered practicf .

That circular was framed to entrap the ignorant , hnd to a certain extent It has succeeded , but not without exposing the writer ' s display oligoorance of fh * e subject on which he was writing , when he stated that the society was not registered according to law . But I would not hare blamed him for beta ? ignorant of tho subject , had ho and hU . colleagues shown themselves open to conviction , but , on the contrary , ho appears to be as prejudiced as ever , or else he U ashatnid to acknowledge his ignorance . But Oils Is not the case with a great number of tho mambors who recorded their votes against tbe Land and Labour Bank . These members acknowledge that tinco this paper war has been carried on , they have had their eyes opened on tuesulject , and had they another opportunity of recording their votes . Mr Se ' . sby would have to an . him the
nounce a different majority . It may afford , m meantime , a fireal amount of eatUfuOtion to BCfi his trap work so well ns to catch him a majority of 990 , out of a body of upwards . 7000 members . Mr Sslsby may answer , they did not all vote . Ho , they preferred Raiting until they got better acquainted with the subject , rather than vote In ignorance . Bat our would-be dictator , could not have brought his Infant trap into operation , had lie not broken throug h our general laws in defiance of our delegate mooting , without asking the consent of our . members , but ho immediately after got the breach made up . in the shape of a resolution from the Executive , ' that neither he nor * ny other member shall do so again . I likewise perceive that Mr Selsby has succeeded in obtaining a resolution from the Executive Council , t « the effect ' That we , the General Executive , do instruck all branches who have so deposited their funds in the Land and Labour Bank , to withdraw
the same within twenty-ono days from this date , Nov . 6 th , 1 S 47 , " Now , impartial rendors , you will have percutved a precedent which may be acted . upon by the Executive Council with tho assistance of Mr Selsby , which maj be detrimental to the stability of our society . We have laws relating : to the LonSciae of our money , and those laws must not be trampled upon by our Ere" utlvo Council , as I can iuvt no other conclusion from the above iresolution . We arc told in a grave sort of a manntr that their only object is to secure the best interest of the society , and thereby restore that tranquillity
and unity amongst ns , which is so essential to the ; welfare of the whole , and they hope that any further inter , fsrence on the p > rt of those that are favourable to tho Land and Libour Bn , nk < wilt be avoided . I wonM ask who was the . party that commenced this unconstitutional interfirjnce with " the rights of tho branches ? Let Mr Sel » by answer . But Ihave a better opinion of the branches who have deposite-l their funds in tbe Land and L < bour B ink , thin to think they we going to allow pr . ju'iicj and ignorsneo to overrule inconfutcd rer . son and arguments .
My friends , I shall now call your attention to the consistency of some of our leading members .. When this so called important question was under discussion , a Mr Newton , of one of tha London branches , got up in hi « place and read several columns from the Mancbesteb , Exmmker wr » te by one who tttjlea himself ' One who has Whistled at the PloUKh , ' making very grave objectlons to the Land and Labour B . mk ; for the purpose of prejudicing ihe minds of the memb * ra against the said Bank . Another member got up to roply , and wiihed to read an answer from the Star , but no , that could not be allowed , as it was not society business , but I suppose the' Whistler ' s'letter was ' .
What renders the above g-ntleroan ' s inconsistency more * glarlng is , that when Mr Sehhy and his coUeagues were in trouble in' the Newton case , ' the same JlrNewtoa attended many meetings in London , and moved votes of thanks ' to tho editors and proprietors of the Nhtkeidi , Sta & . for tut-ir noble conduct in espousing the came of the victims in the coiumai of that paper . N" » w , mark the diff rence ! Because the Stab had served their ends , thiy woild no * willingly lend their aid to crush it if they could , hut I trust that the generous hearted proprietor will not take these few aristocratic' dandies of our trade as representatives of the whole , ¦ I should like to ask Mr Selsby , where would he and his colleagues have been today , had it not been for the noble exertions of Mr O'Connor ; and tho indomitable Attorney-General for the people , Mr W . P . Roberts ?
A word or two with the members of our society who hive joined the Land Company . ^ A great deal can bo . done ffidividusllr . As an example , ire at Swindon haro formed a money club to aid and assist the Bank , and since we have started , upwards of one hundred pounds have been collected and'dejo'ited in the Bank . Recollect this has been dona by small subscriptions , seme pajiv . g slxpeace , others . one shilling . We make one joand a ) prize , and ballot it , and send it off to he credited to the individual who has gained the prize . Su by the same means a thousand pounds might easily he railed , Yours , respectfully , Dwid Mobibo : * . 5 Bath-street , New Swindon .
Cruel Treatment Of The Poor . To The Edi...
CRUEL TREATMENT OF THE POOR . TO THE EDITOR OF THE KOBTBEBX STAB . Sib , —I shall be uniJer the greatest obligation if yen will insert tho following in the Stab ; it is an exposure of tlie base , cruel , despotic , and unchristian poor law authorities in tho town of Merthyr Tydvil . As your cerrtspondent was proceeding throsgh High-street , the principal thoroughfare in this tbwo , I saw n decent , prudeut-looking woman sitting by the side of a wall , a little boy sitting by k < r side , and an infant in her arms . The mo'her aud little boy were crying bitterly , and almost perishing with the cold . It was freezing hard at the time , and it was about four o ' clock , p . m . I stopped and inquired what was tho cause of hi-r distress , when she told me the following pitiful tale , Her husband and hersi-lfcame here , abjut nine weeks ago , In search of cm . ployment , andjusc as begot into work ho was taken ill and died , and she and tho two children were left wholly destitato .. She had sjld all her husband's clothes and her own , and was at last forced to apply for relief . She made Bcverul applications but to . no purpose . About
e '^ ht . or e days ago youngest child , about two years old , was taken ill with the small pox—it was then in her arms in a dying state . Sheshowcd it to me , Tbe si ^ ht was truly awful—it was infits and fr . z ? n with cold . I gave htr the means to procure shelter for the night , and several friends canio forward and did the same . I have learned since that the child died that night . She bad a note from the parish doctor to apply to the authorities for relief , but they would pay no attention to her nor tho doctor . It is only a few weeks back a man was on the point of starvation and applied for relief , but to no purpose . He broke a square of glass in a grocer's window , aud then he ' was taken into custody . We'have « bout forty-five or fifty ministers of the ' gospd in the neighbourhood , professing to be followers of Jesus Curist . and there is but ouo of the whole lot that will come forward to denounce this tyrannical system , and h « is too old and t ' eeblq to do much . I ask , is this christian England , where there is so much boasting cf charitable institutions , and the people are left to perish in the streets ? » . B . jfoBGitf .

FRIGHTFUL CONDITIO ** OF THE W 0 RKIXG CLASSES 12 * LANCASHIRE . TO tub editoh op the northern STAB , Sir , —In Blackburn , within tbe present month there Have been processions nf the unemplojed operatives ; headed by ptrsons who visited every shop and rich man ' s residence begging for bread . There were hundreds thus parading the streets , a great portion of whom were fcmales , mostly from fifteen to thirty years of age . Ou Wednesday , the 17 th , ult . the day was excessively cold , still the women persisted in perambulating the town along with the men , each with only a very light shawl thrown
over htr shoulders ; and clogs on the feet , our Lancashire pumps ; hero and there one niih a child in her arms , and some poor old creatures whose haggard and wrinkled features bi-spoke at once their poverty and their years verging on threescore , The success atten . dant on this novel ' exhibition whs modorattl y good . About forty pounds in money was obtained in one week , aud perhaps a like sum in provisions . Soup was made oat of the meat which the butchers bad given tkem , the quantliy being too small to allow of any other mode of division amongst so many ; the bread thus obtained was portioned out with the soup , and with the money loaves were purchased and distributed .
On Friday , the 19 th , the magistrates convened a meatlag of the principal , ratepayers for the purpose of adopt . i « s some plan calculated to relieve the wants of the pwplc during tho present emergency , " The relief given at the poor office had . bsen altogether inadequate thereto ; iveraging not more than from fourpence to si * p ; uce per head per week . A subscription was in consequence deternnncd on ; some liberal contributions have , ws are told , been made ; and the honors of the present famine will , it is keped , be to some eitent mitigated . In Pre . iton , one sixth of the population are computed to be dependent on parochial aid . The relief given here
has been soa what more liberal than in Blackburn , at many have rece . ' vcd a shilling per head weekly , though a ? rtat number bave * b * Meve , received TOnsiderafcly less . How they contrive to'tz > st on even the largest sum with . - ut any other support' i » more than one can vtell conceive j for tho parish ( . fljeera make it a rule , to which tbt-y pretty well adhere , . ? bat no relief is to beafforded when , auy of the family ar ; i in work . However , such f upport as is given will by ant * by raise a ? torm .

the cottages In Preston are compounded for by the laud lord , who receives the rates through the medium of rent * and as tho rents are fixed wh < -n a tenant takes possession * the cottage owner cannot well raise theca , eipccially la times like the present . Upon the ownar , there fore , Buj fall these additional rates ; but the shopkeeper is not equally formnatein this respect , and living in houses so much hig her rented than cottages , the rates Will ie frightfully heavy . Let the panic continue a little longer , and every shopkeeper and petty trader will find his occupation no more to be relied on , as a means of yielding support , than than of tha peasant , or theartizan .
How , or when this state of things will end none ean tell . Are Ireland ' s miseries and deaths endured last winter , to viiit us this ? If" it our turn to suffer in like manner ? If an avenging Heavsn have decreed it , who will dare to say it is wrong- f Wa have stood b y and ; witnessed Ireland ' s sufferings with calm indiffsrenep , or abused tb « n by hiuniing th « n with being idle , n ! .., } . willing to work for their bread , Our ministers tvero the first to accuse them of a want cf energy and self , reliance ; nearly th « whole of the press followed up the slanderous accusation , and thousands of vulgar mouths have echoed thecry . whfn at the very time these thousands have been eating the food wrenched irom that unhappy country . Englishmen ! apply to the parish for rslief and you will be told that you are idle also . .
Whence comes the famine that now ass » tls us ? 1 $ . ft ooi ' -asionad , too , by ft rot itmon ^ . potatoes t ^ SHll there bo a general fast proclaimed this year on account of a dearth arising from a failure in the harvest ? Our wisegovernors will surely be able to afford some racson for Us existence , if the Archbishop of Cantcrbory cannot . There is food enough ; this wo are certain of , forth » ro is probably more in store than ever there was in England at any one time before . There is also sufficient clothing , for we can see it moth eaten through lying piled up ia every draper ' s shop . The working men , in the simpli ~ city of their minds , will evir believe , when they s « e enough around them , tint they having been its produ . cens hare a just claim to a share .
Trade l « bad , but what is . tlie cause ? If food is abnn . dant , and yet its producers nrafflm ' tbing , mast it not bo obvious to tvery one that the faults lie In tho urjust distribution . ' If two classes are considered as having been fqaaliy engaged in its promotion , viz , the capi . tnllBt and the labourer , and if tbe farmer has more than enough and tbe latter too little , then it is clear that tho labourer has been defrauded of his due . If this be true , then the remedy is plainly b fore you , vlx ., to give more for labour . Whenmr a panic in trade presents Itself , raise tho wages of the " workmen ; no . thing elio will effect a permanent cure . A course dia . metrically opposite is however pursued ; wo hear of nothing now but want and misery , and fresh attempts con . tlnually being made Ureduce the wafjes of the workmen .
Advantage is taken of th * pressnt dependent state of tbe labouring popu l ation to tear from themn grcuUr por . tion of their earnings ; and as a pretext is nev < r wanting when needed , the reason assigned is , that it is necessary to enable the homo capitalist to compete with the foreigner . . One handlooin manufacturer , of the name of Shepherd , in Blackburn , lias reduced his work within the last Ave weeks from fifteen pence a cut , which sum he was previously paying , to below a shilling . In Proston they have lately reduced tavern ] mills , and the fines and abatements arc of so f candalous a nature as to excite universal disgust . Patient and submissive as the people of Preston arc , almost proverbially bf come so , the tyranny practised towards thepa is nearly unbc-iirable . One mill owner , -of the name of Trelfall , after keep .
ing his mill standing a fo tn ; ght , run it on the third week three full days , and deducted out of that week ' s pay three weeks' rent from all his tenants . One work , man came home with nincpenco for his week ' s wage ; another with sixpenco ; another . with threepence ; and one left all , besides being half-a-crown in debt . Tha fact Is incrcdiblu .. I could not nhen I first heard of it , believe it , and in order to ascertain its truth I persuaded a person , acquainted with these poor workmen , to go to tbiir houses and m-ike the irquiry . But when you aU tentively scrutinise the countenance of this mill owner for the purpose of taking a physiognomical survi-y , you sea a bloated sensualist , with evidently no more eense than a pig , and a heart as unfeeling as a etor . c . Another mill owner , of the name of Gooding ! had the othsr week
no less than ten cu ' . Ionkers , each cut baiog made to paes through the hanes of several of these loikers , so that if one happened to miss a fruit another might be sure to find it . . Every fault , however trivial , is subject at this mill , to an abatement of twopenc * , and the orders are to let no'fault pass unabated , whaterermay be thecha . meter of tho wonvir . Go it , mill owners' instead of uniting together to k * ep up wages , unite rather to pull them down ; continue fo heap up your piles of wealth , regardless of the means ; bring down our population to tho level of the Irish , and then retire to your mansions , »;> art from the misery you have created , to enjoy it as you best may .

Conflagration At Hoxton. One Of Tho Most...
CONFLAGRATION AT HOXTON . One of tho most extensive fires that has occurred in the metropolis during the present year , broke out shortly after four o ' clock on Monday afternoon , ia Pitfield-streer , Hoxton Old Town , cossumir . ? , before it was subdued , property valued > at several thousand pounds , and for upwards of five hours , causing the greatest confusion to prevail in that densely * packed neighbourhood . The premises in which the disaster commenced belonged , to Messrs Laurence and Co .,. timber-merchants and builder ? , situate in Pit . field-street , but extending into Queen-street , Bootft'cefc , and Garden-court . These were of n most extensive character , the timber-yard itself being several hundred feet long , and of a proportionate
width , which before the conflagration began , was literally covered with piles of . deals , stacks of veneers , and other valuable property . There were also sundry manufactories for the joiners , the carpenters , and the painters , contiguous to which were the back premises belonging to the houses in the before-mentioned streets . The engines arrived soon after the outbreak of the fir © , which , by the period tbis assistance had ar » rived , had assumed a most fearful appearance , the greater portion of the workshops , and nearly a dez ? n lofty piles of timber were wrapped in dimes , and it at once became apparent that the subduing of the fire would be a work ' of great difficulty .
The firemen mounted the tops of the surrounding houses , and by carrying the hose with them , were in expectation of being able to confine the flames to the promises belonging to . Messrs Laurence . Unfortunatelyiuey were doomed to disappointment , and notwithstanding their utmost exertions the-flames were blown into the houses in Queen-strcct . One tall double house of three floors , first . became ianited , which , being filled with , oila and colours , very few minutes passed away ere this buildm ? was one sheet of flame . From thence the work of destruction continued to . travcl dami the street , firing the roofs and
backs of the houses belonging to Mr Webster , bedstead-maker and ' apanner , No . 5 ; Mr Coombea , bootmaker , No . 6 ; Mr Dunning , general turner , No . T ; Mr Wybrow , chair-mr . ker , No . S ; and Mr Griffith , cow-keeper and dairyman , No . 3 . By order of the chief ollicevs the firemen brought all their force to bear upon this last-named property , and happily the further extension i-f she flames in that direction was soon arrested . Meanwhile , the fire continued to travel in Messrs Laurence ' s building , firing stacks upon stacks of timber , until several hundred square feet of them were completely enveloped , .
: Horrible Murder At Madrid. Madrid, Nov...
: HORRIBLE MURDER AT MADRID . Madrid , Nov . 22 . —A murder was committed on Tuesday last , which has given rise to the strangest reports , though at first it appeared merely an ordinary case of robbery as the object , and of murder as the means of effecting it . Sennr Fullera , chaplain of the Duke , and Duchess of ltianzares , occupies a house or suite of apartments , situated in the lower story of the palace of the latter , in the Calle de las Rpjas . The only pcrsan living with him was a female housekeeper , who is spoken of as being good-looking * though not very young . It appears that the cbaplin had gone out on the afternoon in question to purchase some books in the Calle del Leon , which is quite at the other part of tho town , lie returned at rive , and found the unfortunate woman lying dead on
the floor in a pool of bloed , with her head nearly cut off , in fact only retained by some fragments of Jkin It is said that there were marks on her person which indicated that she made a desperate resistance . A gilt button , with some blue cloth attached to it , is said to have been found on the ground . No crieJ were heard . The murderer , whoever he was , had washed his hands afterwards in the wa sh-hanri basin It is astonishing howilittle the journals occupy themselves with tbe murder committed in the pafaeoot Queen Clirisfiiia . -It appearsihat the cbaplin has been arrested , but that ho is able to prove that he s able to Drove that ho had been away for lone
hours when ho returned that afternoon , wl «; o tna medical men who were called in stale that the miir * der could not have been committed more than tereequarters of an hour before . lie saw the body . i » should be observed that there is a c onstant £ " ri soldiers who parade before the Palace , ar . d tnw neither the sentinels nor the porter of the estao isu mentbad seen any one enter or leave about ia » time , and consequently the inference » p lt ; , ™ ; g have been committed by some one in tho " alae h 8 ( i almost beyond doubt .
