I ought to say that I had been suffering from a liver and stomach complaint of long standing , which during the last two years got so much worse , that every one considered my condition as hopeless . I , as a last resource , gota box of jour pills , which soon gave relief , and by persevering in their use for some weeks , together frith rubbing night and morning jour Ointment over my chest and stomach , and right side , I have by their means alone got completely cured , and to the astonishment of myself and everybody who knows me . —( Signed ) Matthew Haevev . —To Professor Houowat .

to accompany the punishment of the culprits with a severe censure upon the paid protector ofthe ill-used , and unhappy immigrants . [ ] From the evidence taken in this affair it was distinctly proved ; that the Captain , by allowing midnight revellin gs * between decks—by the unlimited ' sale of ardent spirits—by conniving at the grossest immoralities—and by threatening and ill-treating the passengers who complained , compounded with his officers for the free and ; urichebked exercise of their brutal
propensities—the ship was , -in fact , i . desonbed by one ofthe witnesses to be . neither more nor less than " a- floating brothel . " A number of unprotected' young women were compelled to witoess . sceriesof infamy and of licehtiousness which the > most depraved imagination cau conceive , and ; some of them became the victims of these contaminating influences . The dietary' was ' curtaiied ,. and the pigs and poultry were , fed . with thestbres provided for ' the passengers . ' . The surgeon superintendent was thoroughl y unfit for ; his duties , and left sick and helpless women for days without at * tendance ^ and directed infants at , the breast to be fed with' sea biscuit ! All the officers—and
especially the second mate—by their brutal and disgusting , conduct- to those whom they ought ; to have protected , certainl y richly merited being run up to the yard-arm , if such a punishment . was . ever justly inflicted upon any human being . . ¦ ; ' -, ' , , '" ' . ¦ ' . ! .

Plymouth ,. there-was a great > deal of sickness on board ; the second mate , whose naxheisLee , had ; the ctiarge of weighing but the' things ; laid hold of the beamrof jbhe ' scales' in order to preyent them : from'having proper play , and being requested to do justice , gave vent to the moat brutal and disgusting vociferations . We were frequently ' compelled to take bur evening meal inthedark , . ' under . a pretence ' of- an"
insufficiency of oil ; A deputation was appointed ; to laythe case before the Captain and the Surgeon-Superihtehdent . The Captain swore an oath ! , threatened to throw ; all the lamps overboard , and did abtually throw one into the sea . JWe were . obliged to get . on the best way we , could . ; There was another very , . serious grievance—the irreparable , damage which was done to many of the emigrants boxes . The hatches between decks were taken off two ' or three times almost , every day , and the chests were then thrown and bundled about as things of no value . In one , packed full of valuable
earthenware and mantelpiece ornaments , ' all were broken into a thousand fragments ; and a tool chest ; which contained'upwards of AOL worth of excellent tools ,, belonging to the same person , received considerable injury . He remonstrated , and the chief mate threatened to put him in irons ( J ) The Surgeon-Superiritehdent . was a thorough drunkard , who frequently consumed , two ; dozen bottles of wine a week , independent of . spirits and porter ; his conduct towards the single women . was infa ; - mbus givihg them drink , and getting them into his birth . " He , also ordered all the male emigrants , both / single and married , to . watch '
on deck when we got .. between thetropics , and if : any ; of them . ' w , ent , below , or even under shelter . when it . was raining , he had his dinner stopped , " In addition to all this ; the beef was . so bad that the emigrants were frequentl y compelled to throw it overboard , and . content themselves with ' about one half-penny worth of rice " , ' to allay their hunger . ; ., ; , ,, , ' Execrable as this treatment was , ' ; it-is , however , nothing compared totheglaririg iniquities perpefirated , on board the 4 rfe » i , which took one hundred and twenty days .. ik it ' s passage from London to Adelaide . From a document numerously signed by the passengers , we give a condensed account of the occurrences which
took place on board : — ?« Our first source of complaint and grievance'arose out of the manner in which the ship was provisioned , .. We had good meat Jill we left Grqvesend ' , hit as soon as . we got to sea the beef , served out was o f the most unwholesome kind , and stunk so abominably' that it was generally either rejected or thrown into the sea , ' Some of the casks were branded 1835 . Tte flour . given in lieu of potatoes consisted almbst . entirely of lumps as hard as chalk ^ , and was so mildewed aiid nasty that we could not . 'eat it . The biscuits ' were mouldy ; the butter rancid , and we never had our full allowance of water . On different oc-
casions , after eating the mouldy biscuits and rancid butter ,. the ! passengers suffered intensely from cramp in the stomach * : There were most gross cases , of dishonesty on- the part of the officer serving out the stores ; and many complaints having been 1 made , the Captain was very fond of throvvirig it in our teeth ; that haying paid such' an extravagant ah amount of passage money , ' certainly we had a right to be waited upon , and to receive alV kinds of luxuries . It is true , that the steerage passengers paid ,. on ] y > I 5 / .: each ; but for , ithat . 15 / . Messrs . ( Marshall-and Edridge stipulated
to supply therii , as well as the ' rest ; withgobd food , water , light , fire , and cookery , and yet on eyeryscore wehad serious grounds of complaint . ' . Having , on some pretext , . been put . on , halfallowance of sugar , raisins , and potatoes , they threatened legaV proceedings , which ; ^ -brought the captain to his senses , " but still riot a week elapsed in which complaint of short allowance was not' made , and > the usual . deficiencies were estimated betweenltwenty-five and- , thirty , per cent . " Besides these breaches of contract , bur . ; meat ; , and puddings were always boiled in salt water , and sometimes . ' the water used for
tea was . wholly -. or partially ,, salt . ' : . Water . "' Pitting certain . .. abominatiohs of tlie ' captain and ; his subordinates , we find tha ' t ' the surgebnsuperintendent , ayoungman , was not only professipnally incompetent , butgross and indecent m his language , and seldom soher . The result was , that ., written ' orders for medical comforts , issued by the surgeon , were burnt by- 'the captain , and the . captain ' s orders were stopped by the doctor in retaliation , to the imminent danger of the health and lives of the passengers and ship ' s crew ; ' ' . Throughout the voyage the captain conducted himself in the most iingentlem ' anly manner , and exercised the
greatest tyranny ; over the passengers , as if they had been so many menials and slaves . ' The greatest outrages , however / were those perpetrated on several passengers , under the pretext of porforming . the absurd ceremony connected with crossing the line ,, These barbarities were especiall y inflicted upon , those who had rendered themselves obnoxious to the cantata by remonstrating againa ! - hi *^ onduot ,

when his mouth was again filled with the disgusting compound referred to ; In tbisr state of agony , his sufferinga . were inbreasecl by the application of what is called Neptnne ' a best razor , every stroke of the jagged edge of which inflicted painful wounds . He was then hurled backwards and forwards ^ still , blindfolded , pinioned , and smothered-with tar , into a ; tub filled with salt water , and when'released , by order of the captain , he was more dead than alive .. The doctor was subjected to even worse treatment / the captain encouraging the disgraceful proceedings , and . evincing his delight by repeated bursts of laughter . We shall not trust ourselves to comment
upon such atrocities , nor is it needful for us to dp so . We may safely leave the horrible narrative toprbduce its , own effect / But we do trust that some independent , / Member of Parliament will take ? . this / question up next Session ; with the yiew of having the acts passed for -the protection of emigrants rigidly enforced , -or , failing , that , the dismissal of the . Government functionaries , whose , culpable and criminal complicity with the owners and commanders of emigrant ships , permit such shocking occurrences as . these we have narrated . "' ' - ¦ ¦ . : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ > ¦ -. : ¦ ¦
L In the case of the Aden , for instance , it was the imperative duty of Lieutenant Leaf , the Government Emigration Agent for the Port of London , to have seen that all , the stores put on board that ship were fresh , and of the required quality . That ho did not perform » that duty is quite clear , or casks of beef with- the brands of 1835 , upon them , would never have been allowed on board . We do not call for additional legislation , except , perhaps , to increase its , stringency , and augment
the . penalties now imposed for the infraction of the law . Parliament has , within the last few years , passed several judicious enactments , with the view of protecting the emigrants against the cupidity of shippers , and the brutal cruelty of skippers ... What the Executive Government are bound to . do is to see that their agents , both at home and abroad , enforce these enactments rigidly and strictly . If not , they ought to be discharged with ignominy from the public seryice . - < ,:, .. .

^ Lambeth-Election. ', The Cause Of Radi...
^ LAMBETH-ELECTION . ' , The cause of Radical Reform and economical government has decidedly gained by the retirement of Mr . Charles Pearson , and the triumphant return of Mr . Willums in hia place . The new Member for Lambeth possesses qualifications which render him a most valuable practical man in an assembly , composed of individuals who have too many inducements , public and-private , to . spend the money of tbe pebple extravagantly .. Speechmakers there are in abundance , ever ready to
seize occasions for an exhibition of their rhetorical abilities , and for keeping themselves before the public . eye . But we have far too few men in that house thoroughly , acquainted with accounts , independent in circumstances and in feeling , and willing to devote laborious nights and days to the mastery of the various items of the national expenditure , with the sole view of opposing unnecessary or lavish outlay . Mr . Hume , who has for so many years devoted himself to this task , had an able coadjutor in Mr . Williams , when he formerly sat in the Commons for Coventry ; and ) aged
as the hon . member for Montrose ia now grow ing in the public , service , we should imagine that he is highly delighted at the prospect of being able , at least , to share a part of his selfimposed duties , . with' one whose attendance can be so-fully , depended upon , and who possesses so many of the facilities for detecting and running down a job . ' When , in the fullness of time , Mr . Hume is called away from his financial labours , on no-man ' s shoulders will his mantle fall more appropriately than on those of Mr . ' Williams , He will be the real legitimate successor of the " veteran Joe . " ¦ .: - .- ....
. In a higher and more important aspect the return of Mr . Williams is a popular triumph . He is . an avowed advocate of a Manhood Suffi-age , accompanied by all the accessories necessary to give that principle an equitable and an unfettered operation . The Charter has added one more to the number of its supporters in Parliament . ' Another metropolitan borough has . significantly proclaimed to the Minister that the Suffrage question must be dealt with earnestly and comprehensively at an earl y day . Lambeth , at least , is not satisfied with the semi-rotten borough . system which exists under Lord John ' s sham-Reform
Act . Besides the hint to the Ministry , the borough has also very intelligibly indicated to that old Whigling , Mr . D'EYNConni , that the tenure of his seat is , to say the least of it , precarious . In the small number of votes recorded for his son-in-law , Mr . Palmer , he may read the approaching downfal of the D'Eyncourt dynasty in Lambeth . At the next general election , Lariabeth will , we have no doubt , return two genuine Reformers .
The election is gratifying in another point of view . Whatever might be supposed to be the claims of Admiral Napier in other ' respects , it must be confessed that we have far too many professional . men inthe Commons , who evidently look upon their seats as " poli tical capital , " and make their possession the means of pushing professional and private interests . How rapidl y . Mr ; 'Cockburn ' s seat tor , bputhampton has made him a Solicitorgeneral , . a Knight , and . opened un to him the
path ' to the Woolsack and apeeragel ¦ It is out of such materials that corrupt Ministers hnd the means of supporting every job ' they may think fit to hatch ; and of resisting every . attempt on the part of the few honest and independent members in the . Housej for ' political and social amelioration . -The electors of . Lambeth thought—and we' think with them—that we have too many Admirals , Captains ; Generals , Colonels , Mayors ^ and' Lawyers , in Parliament alread y ; Sothey sent . a sturdy ; plain spoken '
, independent man . ' who takes pride in the fact , that he never darkened-the doors o £ the Treasury during thethirteenyeai-s he was m Parliament , and who does not feel the slightest desire to' place his legs under Ministerial mahogany ., ph ; i these awful ainner parties to "hop . members I " . " How often does a iprofessed patriot , -after yielding to their seductive influence , feel his resolutions to be inflexible in the discharge of his duties , dissolveunder the magical agencies which hover about a Cabinet Minister ' s table ' . .. ' .-The Times abuses Lambeth , and , indeed all the metropolitan boroughs . The ' ¦ only " . eminent ' Englishman "—heaven - save tha mark ! -. they { send 'to Parliament , ' is Lord . John , Russell .., The others are all , more , or less , vulgar demagogues , . and the last elected is the lowest and most-vulgar of the lot . We :. tmst , the citizens will remember this insolence when ' the next general election . takes " place , and get ridof a man whose only " . eminence" to : them , consistS : in , his " eminent" bad faith towards them , and towards that colleague whom he has kept -three years out of Parliament , by his ti'immuig timi «
