Inintro ducing the following Testimonials to the notice of the public , it may not be out of place in girlng a few Observations respecting Parr ' s Life Pills . This medicine has been before tho British puilic only » few years , and perhaps in tha annals of the world was never seen sue eess equal to their progress ; the virtues of this Medicine were at once acknowledged wherever tried , and recommendation followed recommendation ; hundreds had soon to acknowledge that Parr's Life Pills had saved them , and 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 . tmual good which resulted from their use spread their fsmefar and wide , at this moment there is scarcely a country on the face of the globe which has not heard of tfaeir benefits , and have sought for supplies , whatever might be the cost of transmission . The United States , Caaad ' ., India , anderen China havahad immense quantities shipped to their respective countries , and with the game readt as in England—Universal Good . The general use of this medicine , having been the result of the 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 « pwards of 80 , 000 boxes weekly , more than all other patent medi" cities put together . Tins simple fact needs no further eonuuent £ ls teusjlainly that the Pills ^ ofOld Parr are The Best Medicine in the World . The following , with many others , have been recently received : — Communicated by Mr Johh Heatok , Leeds . Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we are deibr hearing accounts of the good effects of Parr ' s Life Pills : to enumerate the cases would be a tasktooformidshletome , and which has prevented my writing to inormyou before as I can hardly tell where to begin . Qbe man said he wanted a box of Life Pills , for Life Pills they were to him , they had done him so much good in relieving hist of an obstinate cough and asthma . - Another said they wers wobth theib weight iw sold ; . as he was not like the same man since he had taken them . Another said his wife had had a bad leg for years , but alter taking ene small box , which was recommended by his Class Leader , her leg was much better , and when she had taken the second box , it was quite as well as tha other . . A very respectable female said her hus & aad had been afflicted above two years , and had tried many things , but since he had taken Parr ' s Life Pills he was quite a new man . - " TonwinpleasesendimmediaWy . tlurty-eixdoxenboxes at Is . l ^ d ., audsixdoien at 2 s . 9 d . - - I aa ^ Gentlemen , yours respectfully , 7 , Briggate , teeds .

, - - - . DISPENSARY POB THE CURE OP DISEASES OF THE SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOUS AFFECTIONS HaHPSTEAD SlXEET , FlTZBOX SaPiKE . Parisian—THOMAS INNIS , M . D ., 33 , Fiteroj square , UeaHeref the Boyal College of Surgeons , Xoadoa ; late Assistant Surgeon m the Eon . East India Company ' s IT IS a strange anomaly in the practice and projress of medical science in this country , that amongst all the benevolent 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 the faculty , that the ravages of these stubborn and enduring plagues of human life are more extensive than tliose of any other known disorder , there being little short of half-a-million of patients anbually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject faly recognised , and the exertions ot men ef science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring tothe Hospital of St . Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to the cure of Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present day writes thus : — ' Since the grave has closed over the labours of . Uateman , the culture of Diseases of tbt Skia in this country , as a distinct branch of Medkal Science , has slept . Not . so in France : successor after successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has glided through the moving panorama of life , from the 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 jealously to emulate . The writer feels that the mportance and necessity of a simlar establishment in England can nerer be too much 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- -render this desideratum actually the " greatest under which these islands at present labour , in a sans '« ry point ot ouw . These diseases are so numerous ai multiform in appearance and effect , and present such an infinite variety la diagnosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies from ths uncertain rssults of inuividualahdscatteredpractice . ' ' ; . Notwithstanding the laudable endeavours of the various British Authors who have written upon this subjectand the highest taleatbas not been wanting in the res . pert—still , of actual curative progress little or nothing has been achieved ; and this , plainly , from the want ot a theatre of action , where the operations ' ani results of curative appliances might be ocularly testedi compared , ' and treasured up ia the garner of experieciea . Hear Dr Watson on this subject : — « T 6 become expert , 'says he , 'in tbe diagnosis of these blemishes , and in caring such of them as are curable by our art , you must see taern tritftyour own eyes . Verbal descriptions of their change * fvH characters are of comparativuly little service or interest . They are among the things that require to be ' oralis jubjecta fiddUms . ' Even pictured representations convey but an Inadequate notion of the morbid appearances they are designed to pourtray . The lecturer on Skin Diseases should have patients before him to whose bodies he could point . ' Thaopinions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of thsse views . Writers may ¦ classify and sub-classify , and arrange under gmera ' and species , as the late Dr Willan and his pupil , Dr Bate' man , nave done , with consummate skill and unwearied > industry , but wanting the means of reference to actual - cases and personal observation and comparison , their - effor ts are thrown away , and the ravages of disease una-: bated . Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to afford an opportunity to all who may be de . sirous of co-operating with him iu the advancement of - this hitherto neglected department of medical science , Dr , funis has opened the , above-named Dispensary at Hamp-> stead-street , Fitzroy-square . 1 Hoping to see the day when we shal Inotbe behind our I French neig hbours in the means of investigation afforded by the establishment of an ample institution exclusively dedicated to the treatment of Cutaneous Diseases , Dr - Innis , in the meanwhile , earnestly invites all who feel in-I terested in this important subject not to despise the' day > of small things , ' but to unite with him at once in carrying i out this infant Institution , which has for its immediate f aad special object the testing of the principles upon which - our foregone practice has been based , with the actual i opsrationsof nature under disease . i .

THE GREATEST CURES OF ANT MEDICINES IN THE GLOBE . HOLLOWAT'S OINTMENT . A Tery Wonderful Cure of a Disordered Liver and Stomach . Extract of a Letter from Mr Charles Wilson , 30 , Princes Street , Glasgow , dated February letft , 1817 . To Professor Holloway , Bib , —Having taken your pills to remove a disease of the Stomach and Liver , under which I had long suffered , and having followed your printed instructions I have rerained that health , which I had thought lost for ever . I had previously had recourse to several medical men , who are celebrated for their skill , but instead of curing my Complaint , it increased to a most alarming degree . Humanly speaking your pills have saved my life ! Many tried to dissuade mc from using them , and I doubt not but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent medicine , in consequence of the impositions practised by many worthless wretches ; but what a pity it is that the deceptions used by others , should be the means of prerenting many unhappy persons , under disease , from regaining health , by the useof your pills . When I commenced tha use of your pills . I was in a most wretched condition , and to my great delight , in a few days afterwards , there was a considerable change for the better , and by continuing to use them for some weeks , I have been perfectly restored to health , to the surprise of all who have witnessed the state to which 1 had been reduced by the disordered state of the Liver and ' Stomach ; would to God that every poor sufferer would avail him . self of the same astonishing remedy , ( Signed ) Chabi . es Wimoh . * * * The above gentleman has been a schoolmaster but is now in ahighly respectable House , asCommercia Clerk . . , .

The boy is eight yea r * of , ago , of strumous . or scrofulous . constitution .., He seems to have had a pleurisy , which ended in a large collection of matter in the chest , which eventually formed a passage ' tbrongh tha wales of the chest , which ended in' three fistulou sores , which continued to discbarge large quantities of pus up to May , when he was induced , to try your medicines ; at this date he was in an apparent dying , condition , and in the highest degree of Marasmus or Consumption , He had severe hectic fever , the urine depositing large quantities of sediment—constant distressing cough—no appetite —and the stomach rejecting nearly everything he took , both food and medicine , he began by taking five of your pills night and morning , which were gradually increased to ten , which in a short time had the . effect of completely curing the cough , the stomach affections , and restoring the urine to its natural state . ' His ' strength and flesh are also restored , and his appetite keen and digestion good . ( Signed ) Robert Caivbst . THE Earl of Aldborough cured , of a liver and Stomach Complaint . ,,.

I now take this opportunity of sending you an order for the amount , and , at the same time , to add that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my liver and stomach , which all the most eminent of the faculty at home , and all brer the continent , had not been able to effect ; nay ! not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad .

TEE MANCHESTER FOURTH BRANCH , TH ? EXECUT I VE COUNCIL OP THE MECHANICS SOCIETY AND IRELAND AND LABOUR BANK .
TO TBE IB 1 T 0 B OF TBS MOATBSBN STAB , Sib—You are already aware of the struggle betwixt the Council of the Mechanics' Society and the No . 4 Branch . I hot only write to you , but to those of our members throughout England , Ireland ,. and Scotland , who hare given their votes In favour of tbe Fourth Branch and their bank . The question which the Council have put to the members of the whole of tho society is as follows : — 'Shall any branch of our society bo allowed to deposit their funds In the National Land and labour
Bank « " The result Is as follows : —For depositing in the Land and Labour Bank , 498 -Against depositing in the above bank , 1986 ; majority against—1488 . On the 6 th of November , 1817 , the Council met to decide upon tbo votes ; and they came to the following resolution : — < That inasmuch as a great majority of tho members of our society are opposed to the funds being deposited in the National Land and Labour Bank , we , the Central Executive Council do instruct all branches who have so deposited their funds , to withdraw the same within twenty-one days . '
The No . 5 Manchester Branch have nearly £ 200 In the Land and Labour Bank . On receiving the notice from the Council to withdraw their funds , they held a summoused meeting on tbe llih of Norember , and passed the following resolution : — ' That in accordance with tbe 31 st rule of our society , we resolve to appeal to the next delegate meeting against the decision of the Executive Council , ' When the No . 4 Branch received their notice to withdraw their money , they hold a summonsed meeting on the 20 th ult . and passed the following resolution : — 'Resolved—That we ate of opinion that we have acted ia accordance with the letter and spirit of tbe ninth rule in banking our money , and that we consider the interference of the executive council npon this occasion an uncalled for , unjustifiable , and dictatorial Interfflr ' enco and that theybava exceeded the powers delegated to them by the delegate meeting , in requesting No , 4 Manchester Branch and ethers to withdraw their money from the Land and Labour Bank , and that we ,
the members of the Manchester Fourth Branch , assem . bled at a summonsed meeting , do respectfully decline to concede to the request of the conncll , and that we do so for the following reasons ; viz . —First , . Because'the Executive Council is only to act in cases where the society ' s rules are silent . Second . —Because we have acted in accordance with the ninth rule . Third . —Because the council nave not recommended to us a bank wherein to place our funds . Fourth , —Because * we claim the same right as other branches ; viz . therigbttoptoce our funds In that bank which we think is the most safe , and that gives * he greatest amount of interest . Fifth . —Because we consider the Land and Labour Bank gives thegreatest amount of . interest , and is at . safe as : any bank In Sngland ,. and that we do hereby appeal to tbe next biennial meeting of delegates of our society , to decide this quesfr ' pn of banking our money ; . We make tbis appeal in accordance with the 11 th and 81 st rules of our society , Tho votes were then taken .
Forthe motion ... ... 88 Against ... ... ... 2 : „ ' . •' .. .. ' ,, ' ; Majority ... 86 ' . What will the Council fay ! and what will the'Whist . lerVsay . ? . and . what will the Examiner say ! and what , will the Whigs say I and what will tbe Free Traders say ? and what will the disappointed socialist , say ! and what will the 1986 out of the 7000 members say ? and what will Selsby say , when each and all have read tbe Fourth Branch resolution ! I think they will say , ' It is no use , we might as well give up bur opposition , for we cannot shake the confidence of the Fonrth Branch ; we only increase their faith in the Land and Labour Bank , for the first time they met there were onl y 23 votes for Feargus and 17 votes against him —and the second time they met there were 25 votes for Feargus and one againt him—and the third and last
time proves that they are going on with the days of railways and progression , for they voted 38 for Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., and only two against him ! ' The * Whistler * said that the mechanics had withdrawn their money from the Land and Labour Bank , and that he had induced them to do so . Oh , hol y Moses ! what a mistake that was . Well , the Examines thought it would try to play a better tune , and it was this ; ' The mechanics have decided by a majority in favour of withdrawing the money from the Land and Labour Bank , and will do so in less than a month , ' A double flat . Why , sir , the sparrows upon the dunghills at O'Connorvillc can whistle hotter tunes . Ah , but , ' says one ' the council will suspend yonr branches if you will not withdraw your money . ' Yery well , they will hot annihilate us ; neither would that withdraw our money , and what better would the council be ? Let us see who is right and who is wrong upon this question of Bankisg .
The following is an extract from the 0 th rule : — 'All monies in each branch shall be invested in tbe names of five trustees ; Any branch banking its money in the names of trustees , such trustees shall not hold any office entitling them to a key of the society ' s box . ' We asked the council what part of the above part oi the law we had violated—they could not tell us . The generalsecre . tary made an appeal against us to tbe council ; tbis act ef bis was against the 31 st rule , which is as follows : — 'Any member or members of this ssciety , or person claiming on account of a member , finding himself or themselves aggrieved , or having any complaint against tbe officers or members , may apply to a committee for redress . If he or they do not receive satisfaction , he or they may appeal to a general meeting of their branch . If
not satisfied with its decision , thoy have the . power to appeal to the executive conncll , whose decision- shall be final , by giving to the secretary of the branch a proper notice of their intention . The secretary to furnish no other evidence to tbe executive council than that heard before the branch ; but any branch not being satisfied with the decision of the executive council may appeal to the following delegate meeting , from whose decision there can be no appeal' ( the delegate meeting is in 1819 ) . Now Mr Selsby , the general secretary , never did take tbe question to a committee , or a branch either . Had h # done so , he would have lost two votes in the council , for his branch . sends two . members to the council ; and the case coming from his branch , they could not have voted ; so that instead of tbe chairman of the council giving his
casting / vote , that we had violated the 9 th rule , we should have had two of a majority in our favour ! The question sent round to the branches , contemplates the altering of the 9 th rule , and the violation of the 15 th rule , wherein it is stated— 'That the delegates cannot altera rule , except it has gone round tbe branches six Weeks before the delegate meeting , and whatever is agreed upon at that meeting , Is binding on all the members . ' Therefore the council had no right whatever to send such a question out as they did in their appeal against No . 4 branch . Their duty ts to see that each branch and each member , has the right , and the 9 th rule gives every branch a right to place their funds in that hank which they consider best . One of our members has received a letter from Leeds , stating , that a proposition was made , in . tha mechanics' branch there , that they place £ 500 in the Land and Labour Bank , and . the writer states that , the secretary of that . branch said they could not . place it In that bank , for he bad received , a letter from Mr Selsby ,
and it stated that the votes that had alread y come in were StO tor tie Land and Labour Bank , and 3 , 000 . against it . ' This , ' says the writer ,. ' was our ruin , forit eccasioned the loss of our motion by five . There being 23 for the money going to the Land and Labour Bank , and 28 against it . ' I do hope those members who have voted for the Land and Labour Bank , will not give up their rights , but will follow tbe honourable example set them by the 4 th branch and others , who , knowing their rights , have had courage to mention them , One of the council members said he hoped that Mr O'Connor would gain the object he had in view—viz ., the emancipation ef the working classes ; but who would believe him . to be sincere in his wish , when tie moved that twenty-one , days ' notice should be given to withdraw the money from ' Mr OJConnor ' s Bank ) Mr Selsby ssid'he bad no doubt but Mr O'Connor was honest . ' Then , if so why did he make the appeal against tho money going to an honest ' banker ! Another councilman , said , he believed that no bank
was safe , but he did think the Land and Labour Bank would stand five years , and y % t that man . . voted . for the withdrawing of the . money . The council have not ' told us where to place our money { whether we should put it into our pockets , or a bank , we cannot tell ; but one of the councllmen had a splendid idea where it should be placed , when be moved tbat . it , should be taken out ef the Laud and Labour Bank and placed in the Royal Bank in Liverpool , that had already stopped payment , Another councilman moved , and another seconded , th ? motion that No , 4 . Branch should hot be allowed to send any clearance to any other branch , and the members ' travelling cards should not be received in any other branch , if they would not draw the money out of the Land and Labour Bank . But tbis motion was not
carried . The question is now , what will the council do , will they expel the members of No . 4 . and 5 . Branches ! It was said , at the council , and in some of the branches , too , that the bank was not a bank when the fourth branch put their money Into it in August . That is not true , for the Derby braichput their money into the Land and Labour Bask on the 17 th of April , I three months be * fore the fourth branch . To , mechanics of Bolton , what ba t cap ital done for you ? Are not your members starv . ing ! Did not your strike cost you £ 14 , 000 , and in 1844 had you not to form a Protective Society , composed of the millwrights , smiths , moulders , engineers , and machinists , to save yourselves from the Horrible q ' ultance paper , emanating from tbe capitalist , and yet some of you vote against that bank that would save you ! Te machinists of London , have you forgotten the thousands of pounds '

Good lord , deliver me from the sin of Ingratitude , and the wllral violation of our rules 1 Here is an extract of tbe 11 th Bale , which proves as clear as noon-day , that they , the council , have exceeded then ? powers . It reads thus : ' The duties of the Executive Council shall consist in having tbe power to decide in cases of appeal , such decision to be fi n al , except in tbe case of the branches who may appeal to the delegate meeting . ( They shall determine anything wherein tho society ?! rules art silent . ) ' Now , what honest man will tay the . 9 th Rule Is silent ! It is not silent ; It gives us the right to bank our money where our judgment beet determines for . As a proof , the Crewe branch , during this struggle , have removed part
of their funds out of Sir Benjamin Heywood ' s b a nk , and placed them in the savlngs ' -baak , Then , why not the fourth branch be allowed to have the same right 9 The chairman of the council said he acted conscientiously when he gave the casting vote against the fourth branch . If ho did , he is not a fit person to be in the chair , for he must have been ignorant of therules of the society . Ifnot , he must have acted against his conscience , therefor e he must either be a false or an ignorant man . I th i nk eit h er of the two , in the sight of all honest men , would disqualify him from filling that office . I do hope that all our branches will now see that we are right , and will see In ours their own rights , and will have courage to maintain them , and rally round tbe fourth branch , for the struggle i » not over yet , Hoping that the Land and Labour Bank will get that support , which It requires to emancipate . labour from the iron grasp of capital .

LETTER II . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOBTBKRN STAB , Sib , —On the 27 th of November , it was expected that the council would come to a final conclusion on the 4 th and 5 th , and Derby branches , banking their funds in the Land and Labsur Bank . ' ' ' ¦ ¦' All credit is due to those three branches for maintaining their rights by supporting the miss , as they have done , and credit is more especially dne to the two council members from : the - 4 th and - 5 th branches , who have had the battle te fight , who told the council that they ( the two council' men ) would suffer expulsion from 'the society before they would give up their rights . .

A rider' was moved as follows : — ¦
'That , inasmuch as we , the Executive Council , havo not as yet received all the Bank schedules' from the branches respecting the banking information required , we consider that it would bo unfair , to . settle the question of the Land and Labour Bank until we get the said information , so that we maybe better able to settle this matter to the satisfaction of all parties concerned , ' The votes for this were eleven . Carried . You will see that the question is not yet settled—but you may rely upon it , that the money will not be
withdrawn from the Land and Labour-Bank . . I cannot help noticing one remark of the council member from No . 4 branch , in the discussion on the council , which was as follows : — ' Gentlemen—to show yon that I have confidence in the Land and Labour Bank , I have tbis evening told a friend of mine , who has upwards . of £ 40 of mine , that I want it , and that I Intend to send £ 80 of it to the Land and Labour Bank , that the prophecy of Mr O'Connor may be fulfilled , viz ., 5 , 000 working men will be located on the land next year .

EMIGRATION to thb editor or tbe no & tbebh sta & , Sir , —As a subscriber to jour paper , and also to your admirable Land Flan , I hope you will not deem tbis an intrusion . ' A few evenings since , I saw in one of the papers , two horrible cases of ship fever , that had . occurred onboard two emigrant vessels , one containing 500 emigrants , the other about two-thirds of that number . , The former vessel lost nearly the whole of the miserable passengers , besides the crew , except two ; the latter vessel above two-thirds . New this system of . emigration has decidedly one advantage—it rids the world of the miserable viotimtofmisKOvemment . . ¦ : ^ .. < ; . The system now carried on of sending men from their homes , by holding out golden inducements , is both cruel and unjust ,
The deaths of the poor deluded wretches , recorded la the papers for the last ten years , by shipwreck , fevsr , Ac , are disgraceful to a country like this , with its use . leig New Forest , Windsor Park , and thousands of acres of now useless land . If the tide of emigration is to , continue , forGod ' s sake let the state of the vessels , their accommodation , and tbe ability of their commanders , be properly esquired into . I am , your obedient servant ,. William Cbown .

Rumours of various kinds have been more or less rife . - Latterly , these have assumed a definite shape and bearing , An aristocrat in the House of Incurables , has given notice of a motion on this subject—and the public prints begin to hint certain projectsof . theDukaof Wellington , for the more effectual protection of the wealth , wrung from the produecrs of Great Britain , against tbe designs of those who are said to covet what they haye . no better right to than its present possessors . The reason for this anxiet y is asserted to be the fact , that the general application of steam navigation has rendered the navy of England comparatively
ineffectual ia preventing Invasion , and that while this may induce such an event , there are no effective means at the disposal of the government , to repel a foreign foe once landed . What effect the abortive attempt to raise the militia the other year way have had in creating this anxiety among those « who have something to lose , ' I will not say , but this I hope , that the people are prepared , when appealed to for assistance , firmly to demand , ere they risk their lives in battle , something to fight forsomething better than the stigma of- helotry and the blessings of coercion .
