Icontinued the pills until I had taken two-and-a-half boxes more , when to my gratification ! was perfectly restored to health , and able to resume my journey .

Through The Physical, Has Been A Quest I...
through the physical , has been a quest in which has occuthl die attention of philosophers and philanthropists f « r centuries . Without attempting to decide the question , there can be no doubt that when the physical condition is unbared it demands the first attention . For instance ; a person whilst suffering from an acute attack of gout would be uualle to appreciate the sublimest lesson of philosophy , even though enunciated by the divine Plato , Hon- much more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair ' s gout and rheumatic pils , so efficacious in cradicatitigthis distressing malady .
Hollowai ' s Oiswiest and Pius are producing im . mense sensation in the Bahama Islands . A letter recently recsived from Mr Frederic Williams , of Nassau , states , " 1 have known of many here that have tried Holloway ' s ointment and pills , and who have derived the ' greatest bent-fits from their use ; one case in particular—A lady whose foot was in such a dieadful state that to save her life amputation was deemed necessary , and yet she regain . d the complete use of her limb b y these celebrated medicines .

front an officer on board the United - states ship Albany t— " As from the deck , with my glass , I swept over the city of Vera Cruz , its environs , and the stronghold which covers it— -said to be impregnable to the combined fleets of the earth—it was with a rather serious feeling that my eyes rested upon this grim , grizzly pile , barbed and bristling with its hundreds of cannon . The quetion at once arises , can it be taken ? Shall we ever see our fleet moving up over the expanse before me to attack it ? I doubt it very much .. Certainly not , with any force we have , or have had here . Let people prate as much at home as they please about it . ¦ If ever it is done ,
it will be by a tremendous array of cannon , and a most awful loss of life . The castle of . Vera Cruz is no more what it was when the French carried it , than yon are now to what you were when a nursling in your mother's arms . Then there were no guns above tho calibre of 21-pounds , and but few of them most miserably aervcdl The magazines , unatclied , were not bomb proof . The powder was of such an inferior character that not a shot penetrated the side of a French ship , but at the close of the engagement were stuck about tho sides of the shipping like so many balls of mud ; and in addition to all this the . commanding officer , having been instructed not fo fire the first gun , permitted the French squadron to come up and take its position as quietly as though
mooring to pass the winter season . Now Jet us see what a change time and a severe lesson have effected in this castle . Thero are at present mounted within its periphery nearly 300 cannon , and these ore all 32 ' s , 43 ' s , and 8 and 10 inch Paixhai . s , there being a very large number of the latter ; and wherever it has been possible to train a gun upon the channel of approach , they are planted en 6 or 6 e « e , so that a fleet moving up to the attack , must be exposed to a concentrated fire of 70 cannon , over a distance of two miles , beforeitcanget into a position to return a single shot . The castle of San Juan fronts the city at a distance of about 3 Sths of a mile , and is supported by a water battery , at the north-west angle of the town , of fifty 32 and 42 pound guns—all of which would pour their volJies on the squadron passing up , bows on , from the moment it arrived within
range of the shot until its anchors were down , with springs upon the cables , within the reach of musket shot . Judge then what a force would be required for any promise of success , and at what an immense sacrifice it would be accomplished , if at all . The garrison at this moment is composed of 2 , 000 men . In the event of an attack they would , with the most perfect safety , retire within the casemates ( which are as impervious to shot as the sides of Mount Orizaba , until the ammuaition of the assailing force was expended , when they would return to tlieir guns and sweep tho waters before them with the most terrific , destructive effect . The officer commanding the castle lately sent official word ' that if the commodore would bring his fleet up , he might fire until theie was net a shot left in the locker , and he would promise him not to return a gun until he was done firing .

WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP—ONI HUNDRED AND SLXTY-FIVE LIVES LOST . Accounts from Scotland report tho . shipwreck of the brig Exmouth , which had onboard about one hundred and seventy persons , nearly all Irish emigrants , every soul of whom , except three of the crew , were lost . , , It appears that she sailed from Londonderry on Monday , the 26 th ult ., and was soon after caught in the storm which raged with great violence on the Scotch and Irish coasts . In the course of a succession of gales and squalls , every stitch of canvas was blown away , and after having been buffetted about , the vessel became unmanageable , and at half-past twelve on Wednesday last , was driven amongst tho rocks at Ballavanie , on the north-west side of Islay , when she soon went to pieces , and every soul on boardincluding the captain , Mr Booth ,, perished ,
, except three of the crew , who floated ashore on ths maintop . These men , who were in a state of dreadful exhaustion , were hospitably relieved by Mr Chiene , the factor for Mr Campbell , of Islay . On Wednesday afternoon tho wreck was passed by the Modern Anthens , when many of the bodies were being washed on shore . The three survivors , John Stevens , George Lightford , and William Coultard . obtained a passage to Glasgow in the Modern Anthens , which arrived at the Breomielaw on Saturday , and were clothed and lodged by the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society . Tho Exmouth belonged to Newcastle , and was bonnd for Quebec . She was the property of Mr John Edons , of South Shields . During the same gale , a brig from New Orleans put into Bowmore , Islay , in distress , with loss of two men and bulwarks ; and a schooner , with the loss of one man . On the island of Fara , a barque , a brig , and a schooner , are on shore . .
TVmBBS PARrrCt / XiARS . According to the statement of the three sailors , the sole survivors of the wreck , and who arrived in Glasgow on Saturday evening , the Exmouth , of 320 tons , Isaac Booth , of Sunderland , master , sailed from Londonderry for Quebec between three and four o ' clock on the morning of Sunday , the 25 th ult ., with alight south-west breeze . She had a crew of 11 men ( inclusive of the captain ) , and about 240 emigrants , consisting principally of small farmers and tradesmen with their families , who had turned their little all into money for the purpose of escaping the famine , and earning for themselves a home in the western world . Many were females and children coins out to join their fathers and protectors , who
had already settled in Canada . There were also three eabin passengers , young unmarried ladies of tho middle classes , two of them being sis ten ) ,-on their way to join tlieir relatives at St John , New Brunswick . The vessel » a < registered for 165 } passengers , but as two children count as one adult , and as a very large proportion were under age—there being only about 60 men amongst thef passengers—the survivors of the imik , who are our informants , think that the total number of these ill-fated emigrants must have amounted to the total stated , viz , 24 n . The ship lost sight of land about four o ' clock , on Sunday afternoon . The breeze , which had been light in the morning , increased to a gale during the day , and about eleven p . m . itcame in terrific squalls , accomt saved by heavy torrents of rain . They then
furled the fore and main sails . The wind , which had been to the westward at first , veered northerly , and fcfce abarm increased in violence , which blew the two top-sails from the bolt-ropes . The crew then commenced to bend other topsails , which they furled , but about three in the morning they wero blown from the gaskets . The ship was now driving to the soathward and eastward . The reason of the matter not standing to the westward , where he would have ample sea room , was for the purpose of attaining some harbour of refuge , ' where he might repair damages , sod replace the sails . On Monday forenoon the long-boat was unshipped by the force of the seas , which broke over the vessel , and in the course of the same forenson , the bulwarks
were stove in , and the life boat washed away . The gale continued with the same violence during the whole of Monday night and Tuesday ; and an indication of the force of the hurricane may be learned from the fact , that on the latter day the mainsail , after being furled , was torn from the gaskets by the storm blast . While the crew wete sotting the foresail it was blown from the bolt rope ? , and the trysailmast was unshipped , and the main gaff carried away , which rendered them unable to carry the spanker . During > this dreary time , the vessel pitched dreadfully—now on the crest of a mountain wave , and in two seconds afterwards reeling in the trough of the soa ; the passengers were all below under hatches , many of them insensible to external danger from the
pains of sea-sickness , but some of them had a fearful presentiment of disaster . Cooking , of course , was out of the question ; but the grown-up people had no heart to be hungry , and moreover , tho cooked provisions brought from Londonderry were not yet entirely exhausted . ^ b out 11 o ' clock on Tuesday night , land and a light were seen on the starboard quarter , which Captian Booth at first took to be the light on the Island of Tory , off the north-west coast of Ireland , and in the belief that he thus had ample sea-room in the course he was steering he bore along .. As he drifted near the land , however , ' and observed that the light was a flashing , ' instead of a stationary one , he became conscious of his error ahd dangerous
position , and made every effort to repair it by bringing the ship farther to the northward and westward ; and with the view of " clawing" her off the land , the maintopsail and the forelopniast stay sail were set , and thejib half hoisted , The effort , however , was an ineffectual one ; the ship soon got amongst the broken water , and at half-past 12 on Wednesday morning was dashed amongst the rocks . If the above be a correct version of the impression on the captain ' s mind as to his position—and it is distinctly spoken to by two of the survivors—the result shows that he must have been fully a hundred miles out of his reckoning ; but perhaps it could not well be otherwise . The sun was obscured during all the time by black clouds : tho moon was only seen
through a heavy haze at intervals , and from these causes it was impo'sible that any observation could be takes . The light seen was in reality that of Oransa or Oversay , on the point of the Rhinns or Runs of Islay , to the north-west of the entrance of Lochindaul ; and the land seen , and on which the brig eventually struck , was the western part of the iron-bound coast of the island . . She went ashore , and after striking once was dashed , broadside ; on alongside the rocks , which rose to the height of the mast-head . She struck violently against the rocks three times , and at the fourth stroke the mainmast went by the board , and fell into a chasm of the rock . Captain Booth had previously taken his station in the maintop , that he might personally keep
a look out ; and , as soon as the brig struck , John Cleat , the mate , and ail the seamen , eight in number , joined the captain in the maintop , leaving the captain ' s son , a youth of about fifteen years of age ; asleep in'hiscot below . After remaining in the maintop about three minutes , five of the crew went down for the purpose of ascending the foretop , thinking that they would have a better chance of gaining the shore from that part of the ship . At the same time , one of the crew , named John Scott , went out upon the icainyard with a life buoy on his person ; thus leaving in the maintop the captain ahd three seamen , whose names are John Stevens , Wil . Ham Coulthard , and George Lightford , all belonging to South Shields . When the maintop , along with
the wreck of . the mast , was thrown into a rift of the rock , Coulthard , then Lightford , and finally Stevens , scrambled up the rigging , and obtained a footing on the crags . The captain was about to follow the men , when a nave dashed over their heads as they clung to the rock , but they were enabled to maintain their position ; and when they looked round , after the sea had retired , they found that the captain and ' all were gone . The mainmast had been broken into splinters by the fourth collision with the rocks , and this recoiling wave had not only dragged tho ship , but the fragments of the mast , which adhered to her by the rigging , further into the sea , and thus cut off from the dense mass of human beings on board every chance of escape . Had
the wreck remained in the chasm where it was originally thrown , and . from which the three survivors escaped , it might ' have been used as a bridge by the others ; but , unhappily , this last possibility of relief was taken away . ; The same wave which effected this fearful havoc must also have prevented the five seamen from reaching the foretop , from which they might have had a chance of escaping . A quarter of an hour * elapsed from the time of the brig first striking until the three survivors got upon the rock . At the moment she struck , and a little previous to it , abonthalfa dozen of the male passengers were standing on the deck , occasionally asking the mate if there was in reality any danger . Of the throe young ladies who were cabin passengers , one of the sisters
had been confined to bed by sea . sickness from the moment of leaving Derry ; but at ten o ' clock the other two took tlieir position in the companion-way , and were seen there when tho survivors last looked on the deck , tlieship was ground and crunched so frightfully amongst the rocks , that she must have broken up almost instantaneously . There was no cry from the multitude cooped up within the hull of the ill-fated brig ; or at least it was unheard , for the commotion of the elements was so furious that the men olt the top could scarcely hear each other at the top of their voices . The emigrants , therefore , must have perished in their berths , as tho rocks rapidly thumped tho bottom out of ths vessel . ' . . .
The three men who had escaped to the rock , so soon as the ship entirely disappeared , searched anxiously for some outlet by which they might reach the mainland ; but none such could be found , and they finall y took shelter iu a crevice , which , however , did not shield them from the rain , which fell heavily all night , and here they remained till grey daylight . They then discovered an opening , through which they scrambled to the summit , and after day had fairly broken , they observed a farm house about half a mile distant . Thither they proceeded , and were most hoslitibly nourished , and put to bsd . They were thoroughly worn out by exhaustion , not one of the crew

having been in bed from the moment the ship left Derry . There were at the same time nearly naked , from having divested themselves of their heavy clothing when the Exmouth struck , and lost part ot that which remainfd when scramblinf on the rigging and amongst ; the rooks . The hospitable farmer ( whoso name we have not learned ) , and others who had been apprised by him , went to the scene of the catastrophe , but of course too late to help , and only to gaze on the desolation . Mr Chiene ' s , Islay ' s factor , soon heard of the event , and kindly furnished the men with a ; passage to Glasgow by the Modern Athens steamer , where , as already stated , they arrived on Saturday last . Here they were consigned to the care of Mr Fildei , of the Naval Rendezvous , and assistant to Lieutenant Forrest , agent for tho Shipwrecked Mariner ' s Society , and by him they have been clothed
and comfortably boarded in the meantime . On Thursday afternoon , the latest date of our advices from Islay , about 20 of the bodies had come ashore . They were principally females , with one little boy amongst them ; and as many of them were in their night clothes , the probability is that they were those who had rushed upon deck at the first alarm caused by the striking of the ship . They were fearfully mangled by being dashed amongst the rocks , and being jammed within the crevices , along with pieces of the wreck , few of which were above two feet in length . Other bodies were still floating in the surf , but the sea was still too high to permit any boat venturing out to bring them in . The belief is , however , that the great mass of the poor emigrants went down with tho " between decks" of the ship , and that their bodies will not be recovered till this part of the vessel breaks up .
The Exmouth had nothing on board bnt ballast , and the provisions and little stocks of stocks of goods of the emigrants , ' She is the property of Mr John Eden , of South Shields , and though old , is stated , by the survivors , to have been found in every respect . All the crew and passengers were perfectly sober during this fearful time , and the three seamen state that they never saw drink on board at all . The captain was in the prime of life , and has left a widow and family . All the rest of the seamen were unmarried , with the exception of a man named George Ross , who is amongst those perished . According to the above estimate , the number who have been thus suddenly called to their account amounts to 248 .

Ibish Cosfkdb«A , Noit.—The Confederates...
Ibish CosFKDB « A noit . —The Confederates met in more than ordinary numbers on Sunday , at Cartwright ' s , Redcross-street , Mr G . Ryan in tho chair , the secretary read the following letter from James Haughton Esq , of Dublin : — 35 , Ecclas-street , Dublin . Sir , — I am this , day favoured with your letter of the 2 Gult , and I will take care to have the address you have confided to my care laid before the council of the Irish Confederation without delay . 1 must heartily concur in the viaws of those friends whom yon represent regarding the extension of popular righto . If these be not kept steadily in view , and made a fundamental question in Irish agitation for self government , I do not think the Confederation will , or ought , to
succeed —; I will hand in the £ 1 Is . 6 d , and the list of subacribers for enrolment , and give directions to the secretary to forward you the necessary cards of memberships ; owing to difference on some matters of principle between me and the council , I have sent in my resignation—I think our cause will be ruined by the shaking of hands with American Slaveholders ; this I deplore ; but hope a truer appreciation of the principles of liberty will arise . Will you be so kind as to assure the members of your society in London on whose behalf yon have written to me , that I feel grateful for tbeir kind sentiments of confidence , and that I beg through you to return them my best thanks , p \ ta »« accept the same for your own kindness—I am , sir , respectfully yours , James Haoohtos . To—Mr L . T . Clancy ,
50 , Cbiswell-street , London , Mr Clancy said the approval of such a man as James Haughton , was in itself a guarantee to them , that their cause was honest and just . Who had not heard of that great and deserving man , wherever black or white slavery , or worse than both , the slavery of the passions should themselves impart , there was the banner unfurled , on which was inscribed the name of James Haughton . ( Loud cheers . ) He heartily deplored the Joss of Mr Haughton to the council . What journal would dare strike at s cause led on by such a man ? He would not however follow that good man ' s example in this instance ( cheers ) . If the council should decide against their cause he would not , stir one inch till they satisfied him that their views were not correct , and if this was not done
he would take care that not only every Irishman in that room but ' . in London , should know that he at least had some claim to show for obtaining his natural rights . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Sullivan in a very warm and complimentary address moved that " The marked thanks of this meeting is due , and is hereby given to James Haughton Esq . for his gift of tracts < fco ., also for his marked attention to our request , and we deplore his having felt it his duty to withdraw from the council of the Irish Confederation . " Mr Martin seconded the motion which was passed unanimously . —Mr Donegan next delivered a lengthy and able address . Mr Tucker hoped Mr Haughton would reconsider his resignation and return to the council ; they could not afford to lose
such a man . He liked to see men act as their secretary had just declared he would act . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Frawloy was glad to see they were giving their meetings a practical character . Mr J . O'Brien next addressed the meeting . Mr Theophilus Martin rose to perform what he considered a solemn duty —he dwelt at much length on the subject , and concluded by moving the followingresolution . " That the special thanks of this meeting is due to the proprietor and editors of the Northern Star , for the indomitable spirit evinced by them at all times In vindication of the rights of Ireland , and of Irishmen in that paper ; but particularly for tho marked attenlion naid to the proceedings of this body . " Mr D wain
seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr Tucker in supporting the resolution , commented on the great benefits which the trades had derived from the reports of their proceedings in the Star ; no paper gave the proceedings of the trades but the Star , it was quite true that the rascally Diipatch gave a statement sometimes which did them more harm than good—Ceoper had written the fest leading article in that paper ; but he did not think he would ever become even a second rate Publieola . After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting separated . Mr Clancy gave notice that he would on a future day move an address to the Irishmen in London .

She had not undressed herself or had a change of linen for the last six months . She was in a very filthy condition , and frequently denied herself the common necessaries
of life . On several occasions when any of the lodgers were speaking to her she would suddenly turn round and shut the door in their faces . She had been suffering from a severe cough , and her lags were very much swollen . On Wednesday last , Mr Davis , a surgeon , was called in , and he prescribed some medicine for her . On the following Friday morningshe was found dead on the sofa . Mr Dale attributed death to a diseased heart . He had no doubt that her death had been accelerated by the want of the common necessaries of life .
