I lad tried doctoring aud medicines of every kind , but all to no avail , indeed I daily got worse , and felt that I must shortly die . From seeing your remedies advertised in the paper I take in , I thought I would give them a trial . I did so . I rubbed tlie ointment iu as directed , and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread with it , and took the Pills night aud morning . Hi three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the day with a stick , and in seven weeks I could go anywhere without one . I am

      now , by the , blessmg of God and your medicines , quite well , and have been attending to my business for more than seven months without any symptoms of the return of my old complaint . Besides my case of Jflieuniatio Gout , Iliave lately had proof that your Pills and Ointment will heal any old wound or nicer , as a married woman , living near me , bad had a bad leg for four years , which no one could cure , and 1 gave her some of your PiUs and Ointment , which soundly healed it when nothing else would do it . For your information I had tlie honour to serve my country for twenty-five years in the first regiment of life Guards , and was eighteen years a corporal . I was two years in the Peninsula War , and was at tlie Battle of Waterloo . 1 was discharged with a pension on tlie 2 nd of September , 18 £ 1 The commanding officer at the time was Colonel Lygon , who is now a General .

      The Land Company. In This Week's Paper, ...

      THE LAND COMPANY . In this week's paper , the members of the Land Company and the working classes of England , will discover the realisation of predictions made from our past experience . We havenot once , nor twice , nor a hundred—hut a thousand times , shown to the working classes that they were their own greatest enemies ; and , iu tho words of LordBAHEYMORE , we have shown that— " One enemy can do yoii more harm , ' than a thousand friends can do you good ; " and , we think , that wo can generalise this proverb , by showing that " One man can do more injury to a popular cause , than a thousand men can do it good . " Tho case to which we refer is ..

      GUBBINS versus O'CONNOR , which was tried last Aveek at Northampton , but in which His Honour has declined giving judgment for a month . In passing , we may observe , that the Judge who tried the cause , evinced the most perfect spirit of impartiality ; while those who conducted the plaintiff's case , have established their character , not as legal professionalists , but as

      " FREEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS " Competitors . Lord Melbourne furnished the enemies of the working classes with a perfect quiverful ! of poisoned arrows when lie recommended tho magistrates to " Ruin the Chartists with expenses ; " and following the advice of the defunct Prime Minister , the promoters of "FREEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS'' have drawn a poisoned arrow from the quiver , hut , fortunately , it has shot wide of the mark . As we never have concealed any

      single transaction connected with the Land Company from public view , we have inserted the case verbatim from tho " Northampton Mercury , " aud we also publish Mr . Roberts ' s analysis . In justice to tbe " Mercury" -we must state , upon the authority of those who were present at the hearing , that its version is most impartial ; a fact which gives us no small consolation , as it furnishes a strong contrast to the one-sided version usually given by the Press of the powerful , of all matters connected with the powerless .

      It must be understood that the professional gentleman , who not only conducted , but got up the case of Mr . Gubbins , is connected with two Laud Societies in Northampton , both of which are tinged with the main illegality urged against the Laud Company , namelythe distribution of Land , or selection of occupants , by ballot ; thus fully establishing the tact , that while one man may steal a horse , that is , while the rich man may steal the poor man ' s horse , the poor man dare not look over the rich man ' s wall . The amount sought to be recovered by Gubbins was 4 ? . 19 a \ : while the amount oaid Gubbins was 4 ? . 19 a \ ; while the amount paid

Roberts ' s clerk , who was subpoenaed to produce certain documents , received 21 . 2 s ; Driver received 5 s . : those three sums making the exact amount claimed by the plauitift '; while several other witnesses , who received various sums , were also in attendance—so that rather over than under 102 . in hard cash was paid , not by Gubbins , nor even for Gubbins , but by the professors of "FREEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS , " in the hope—tho vain hope—of destroying the veritable , and not the mock

      " FREEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS . " We arc rather astonished that it did not occur to Mr . Roberts , that the advertisement of the Cobden and ScuoLEii'iELD plan would have been a direct answer to the question ; because legal pohit it could not be made , that a man could not get his living upon four acres of land , costing , and well worth , 50 / . an acre , with 30 Z . Aid money , 201 . Loan money , laud cropped , and a house and laud rent free for two years . This was a point which Mr . Roberts , being professionally engaged , and with which the Judge having nothing to do , could not urge , but it might have been established upon the following sentence : •—

      "IT IS NOW ASCERTAINED EROM PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE , THAT A MAN CAN SUPPORT HIMSELF , WIFE , AND FAMILY , UPON TWO ACRES OF MOOR , SWAMP , BOg ] OR WILDERNESS , AT GRINDING STONE , AND THIRTY SHILLINGS AN ACRE RENT , WITHOUT HOUSE , OR ACCESS TO HIS ALLOTMENT . " Now , that ' s " FREEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS ; " - while Driver , who received 90 Z . for-his allotment , is subject to the tyranny of the Land Plan . We say 901 , because ,

      although the 22 / . 10 s . Aid money , and 15 / . Loan money , was stopped out of the 90 / , he had previousl y received both of those sums ; but the material portion of Driver ' s evidence is , the objection that his town-bred wife had to the country air . Those prompters of poor Gubbins , who had not the means of paying the expenses of a single witness , had hot the candour to inform him , that , even had he been successful in the County Court , Mr . O'Connor had the right and the . determination to take the matter into the Court of Chancery , where , we imagine , Gubbins would find it difficult to Induce his " FREEDOM FOR THE

Lawes , the legal omcial of the Government , who was examined- betore the Committee of the House of Commons , from that evidence he wonld have learned , that , the society not being legalised , the members had no power to recover any portions of their monies from Mr . O'Connor ^ or from parties' who received them , they being themselves parties to an illegal transaction . The o-lorious uncertainty of the law is , however ,

      o i . i * ' ii .. _ .. ; . . f iL ... a very reliable arrow in the quiver of those political adventurers , who , according to . the Melbourne system , would ruin the poor by expenses ; while we have a strong conviction ofthe effect that such a developemeut w ould have upon the industrious mind of this country—that is , that while tho evidence given by a legal official may render a Company got upfor the benefit of the poor illegal , tho same evidence may be received in Court as proof of tho legality of the Company aud the liability of its founders . i :

      However , as " what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander , " we beg to submit the following letter received by Mr . O'Connor , with reference to the " FREEDOM FOR TILE MILLIONS " plan .

      - A ' U > LUIS , -UJ ^ . -uu .. , To F . O'Connnor , Esq ., M . P . If . the working , classes of this country arc not wholly devoid of intellect , and if a particle of self-interest and self-reliance remains in that class , we would ask them calmly and deliberately to reflect upon the attempt , thus made to use a poor working man ,, who can neither read nor write , as an instrument in the hands of their artful and designing enemies , to injure a plan from which their class alone are intended to derive tho benefit . And while that class is endeavouring to recruit its auxiliary force from the ranks of Labour , by a promise of Parliamentary and Financial Reform , which is to lead to the social benefit of the labourer ,, what reliance , we would ask , can the labourer place upon this recruiting party , which thus unblushingly , dishonestly , dishonourably , and illegally crimps a poor illiterate man , in tho hope—but the vain hope—ol making him the enemy of his order ? We attach not the slightest blame to poor Gubbins ; but , on the contrary , we are pleased that the legal expenses have been contributed by the professors of " FREEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS < " while we assure fchosephilanthropists , that not even the tcrroi of the one-sided law shall divert us from oui purpose , or intimidate us from pursuiug oui course , to establish real and veritable FPtEEDOM FOR THE MILLIONS .

      The Press. In This Age Of Progress There...

      THE PRESS . In this age of progress there is nothing more essential than that the representatives of that progressive mind should have a . perfect knowledge of its intent and purpose . We would ask , if not operated upon by the mind of the millions , what stability can possibly be established by legislation , and how it is possible for those whose imperative duty it is to frame laws not in accordance with the transient folly of public opinion , but -in compliance with its sound aggregate will ; how , wc would say , is it possible for the presumed representatives of that mind to make laws not merely in accordance with its will , but in harmony with its just requirements , if the channel through which alone that will can bo faithfully communicated is not only closed and dammed up against its flowing power , but is prostituted to its misrepresentation ?

      Nothing can be more easy than for a Prime Minister to boast of tho contentment , satisfaction , and enthusiastic loyalty of the people one night , and to demand the- suppression of the opinion of the same people upon the following night ; aud nothing more reasonable than that the assurance should receive the bullfrog cheer of those loyalists whose feudal dominion constitutes their bond of allegiance , and the support of the same party to suppress the expression of that loyal mind , the ignorance of which threatens them with irresistible danger , and from a knowledge of which they may so harmonise society as to secure them against

      popular vengeance . And if blame—nay , criminality , is to be attached to the party which thus blindfolds those who ought to see their way before them , ' and stops the ears of those who should gather wisdom , and base their actions upon that which is passing around them—that party is tho Press of this country : the most prostitute—tho most profligatc-vthc most venal and corrupt establishment that is to be found iu the world . And as to bo forewarned is to be forearmed , we apprise the British Minister , and not for the first time , that though Ireland may be his GREAT DIFFICULTY , yet the Press is his

      GREATEST DIFFICULTY . Is it not a fact as notorious as the sun at noonday , that whereas the proceedings of a handful of Protectionists , Tenant Farmers , Financial Reformers , Shipowners , Free Traders , Parsons , Dissenters , Humanitymongers , and Christian Instructors of a starving people will not only be dignified with columns of notice , but will be commented upon by the various scribblers , and by each , nol by

      the standard of his own poor intellect , but by the whim and caprice of the faction for whom her . caters his rubbish ; while tho working classes , by whoso industry all not onl y live in luxury , but arc enabled to amass a superfluity of wealth for their idle successors , may meet in thousands— -yea , tens of thousands , or hundreds of thousands , and , if dignified by notice , will be designated as a rabble congregation , of thieves , and pockpockets .

      Burke has truly said , that "Public opinion is as the ' Hue and Cry' that announces the thief ' s approach and puts man . upon his guard ; " and he might have added , that the suppression ofthe "Hue and Cry" may enable the thief to despoil the unwary of his property : and so precisely will it be with those classes in this country who fancifully frame their imaginations and model their policy upon the presumed satisfaction arid loyalty of a dissatisfied and disloyal people- —that is , dissatisfied with their position and disloyal to the institutions which- create their disparity and degradation . ; f

      -.-Let us ask , if anything can be more farcical than the fact of the rulers of this great country undertaking to communicate the opinions , mind , and will of : the millions from information received fi-pm ^ jjpies , detectives , or informers , or based upohflieir own construction ofthe misconstruction or" the Press ? What can be more ridiculous or absurd than the foreshadowing of paltry Parliamentary Reformsthan the absurd acquiescence of Ministers in the substitution of peace for war , While , in the speeches of those Ministers , they inform their

      Iii foreign countries , although a newspapei or two may be the organs of those m power , or those seeking power , y et the vast streamlets flowing from the river of progress into the reservoir of thought , have broken down the dams which pent thomiiid of man , and have flooded the vallies of ignorance with the rich progress of tho mind , which is—and not slowly—m tlie more genial climates , and as surel y , though not as rapidly , in the frigid zone , creating a crop of intellect , in whose luxuriant field a prostitute Press can no longer sow weeds and tares and n oxious seed , but from which the seedsman will yet , and ere long , reap his glorious harvest of regeneration and man ' s redemption .

      No other country , . save this workshop of ours , is governed by tho RULE OF THREE —aud , therefore , in no other country in . this universe is the battle of progress confined to the wealthy privileged and the poor unfranchised . In other countries no newspaper can exist upon the mere PUBLICATION OF SALES BY AUCTION— " WANTED , BY A PIOUS YOUNG GENTLEMAN , A SITUATION AS TUTOR IN A PIOUS FAMILY ""WANTED , AS NURSE , A PIOUS YOUNG WOMAN , WHO IS THOROUGHLY ACQUAINTED WITH THE

      SCRIPTURES AND GOES TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS "—Registered Shirts for Englishmen—The Registered Paletot—The Real Paletot—The Unregistered Paletot— " If yon would make your fortune , apply to So-and-So "— "If you tvould restore your health , injured by dissipation , lake Mr . Lococli ' s Pills "—and the thousand and one deceptions thus practised by a prostitute Press living upon advertisements alone—while , in other countries , the majority of the Press advertise the progress of the mind duty free , and its publication constitutes tho union and fraternity , not of the rich alone , or of the poor alone , but of the honest , the . loyal ,

      and the patriotic of all parties , as the destroyer of the dishonesty , disloyalty , and" renegades of all parties—and hence , we have often declared that the destruction of this Press advertising system in England , would very speedily compel every journal in the nation to advertise the mind of the nation , and bring its several channels to bear upon the legislation of the nation . And if there is not a fair and legitimate resistance offered to this suppression or misrepresentation of the popular will , and if it is not fully and fairly communicated to those whose duty it is fairly to represent it , its power , in the absence of the . '' Hue and Cry , '' will one day take the unarmed and unwarned HEAL

      THIEF by surprise , and then he will learn , when too late , that his ignorance , based upon the prostitution of the Press , has led to his ruin ; while a thorough knowledge of tho English mind would have forced him , or iuduced him , to yield iu time to justice , what at length ho was compelled to surrender to fear . If a Hungarian sentry is surprised and shot down at his post , the " Times" chronicles it as a great triumph ofthe IMPERIALISTS , while , if the brave Hungarians gain a decisive victory over the combined Cossacks and Imperialists , the SAD NEWS requires

      CONFIRMATION . Docs not the forward mind of this country know , and understand , that every battle gained by the friends of freedom abroad , paralyses the enemies of liberty at home ; and do they not as well understand , that it is the . province of the Press of the faction to suppress the . news of those triumphs , or so to mystify them , as to enable ourliULEof-THREE statesmen to modify their little changes and reforms , according to the presumed position of the respective parties abroad ? Here we have the world around us in revolution , with the land we troad -upon , and the

      laud over which feudal lords-exercise so baneful a dominion , sterile and waste ; while the owners of that soil and their rulers , may rest assured that however the potatoes may fail , that no blight can now destroy that mind which we have helped to scatter in the soil , to nurture its growth , and from which , we hope and trust in God , the people will reap a harvest of libert y and freedom , unstained b y blood and unblemished by injustice ; but that , on the contrary , it will make the rich richer , and the poor rich , destroy disloyalty , do away with the necessity of patch-work monkeys , bloated bludgeonmen , sly detectives ,

      hired informers , prisons , gaols , poor law bastilcs , tho dungeon , the transport , and the gallows ; when all will be loyal to the law ' s which protect all ; and when England , governed by the English mind , may set an example of real freedom to tho world , and furnish Monarchs , Presidents , and despots , with a veritable model of a legitimate , an honoured and defensible Constitution . But this will never be , until the mind of tho country is made -independent of tho Press of the country , and until the now ignorant representatives of the people are trained in a knowledge ofthe popular will , and disciplined in its proper direction .

      Parliamentary Review. . A Question Of Vi...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . . A question of vital importance , which has been long and disgracefull y neglected bv the Government and the Legislature , seems as though it was likely to make , some progress towards a settlement . We recorded last week that Mr . T . S . Duncoiibe had shown his [^ nuine and unabated interest in the real welfare of the working classes , by giving notice ol his intention to bring in a Bill for tho better Ventilation of Mines . Tho hen . member who

      thus signalised his resumption of those duties , the discharge of which a severe , protracte d ^ and deeply-regretted illness has so long prevented , obtained leave to bring in his Bill on Monday night . On the same evening , the Earl St . G-isumans— probabl y stimulated thereto by the movement in the lower House on the part of Mr . Duncoiibe—made the question a subject of debate in the House of Lords . The groundwork was the presentation of a petition from Mr . Gurney , calling attention to the plan by which he proposes to ensure the perfect ventilation of Coal Mines . It appears that in this—as in all other respects ' —our Legislature moves as slowly as the most bitted

      go Conservative , or lover of things as they are , could possibly desire . Fourteen years ago , the frequency and the extent ofthe accidents in these mines , forced upon the Government the necessity of taking up the question . They proceeded according to the approved fashion insuch cases . A Committee of the House of Commons was appointed , " with power to send for papers , persons , and records , " and instructions to report to the House the result of their investi gations . Of course it was understood that upon the evidence and report . thus provided , the Legislature would frame a measure having the prevention of these accidents in view—as far at least as the inquiry might show to be practicable .

      ^ Among other persons examined was Mr ™ FT' who explained to them his plan of ventilating Mines by the application of high pressure steam to that object . The Committee , after fully considering that plan , reported to the House , _ that "they recommended the attentive consideration of these proposals . " A ? X ** , scientific Committee reported thai- " The plan of ventilating Goal Mines hy _ higi pressure of steam , was pec liarly af ^ tfid . for its purpose-af a smallexpense

      a nd without interfering with the ordmary worlthos of the mines . It ^ wept tli egaHenej almost with the force of a hurricane , but s ill Sder perfect control : " and they added VVas « " » £ ^ . £ (( IT SEB MED THE MOST TI might have been reasonably supposed that 60 decided and unqualified an opmion of tho merits of this invention would have instantlv caused the Government to prepare and hS iii a Bill , and the Leg islature to pass it , enforcing its universal and immediate apphcatfon to 111 Coal - Mines . Ttare couW not be any possible objection to it . In the hrst place if ' + wmi < rh efficacy in clearing the Mine both ^ J nitlmt interfering with £ ordinary

      „ of the choke damp ' at the feet of the Miner , and of the exp losive fire damp oyer his head was positively vouched for-and thus , as far as these two c auses of death were concerned , the life ofthe Miner was placed m satety ; and m the next place , the adoption of this most important , we may say , invaluable invention , did notimpose any large pe cuniary loss or any material alteration in the modes of working the

      Mines - the power and sensitiveness of the purse ' too often prevent the application of improvements and inventions , but hero there were clearly no such obstructions—tho in > vention could be applied ' " at a small expense and without interfering with the ordinary workings of the Mines . " Strange to say , in the fourteen years that have elapsed since that committee was appointed no attempt has been made to give it effect . TheBlue Bookmightas

      well never have been printed ; the Committee might have " saved their breath to cool their porridge . " The ventilation of Minos remains in 1849 just where it did in 1835 . It cannot be urged th » t in the interim-the comparative infrequeucy of accidents , or a diminution of their destructive character has justified or even palliated thisneglect . Four years after that Committee sat ( lES 3 y ) , a frightful explosion occurred near South Shields , when a committee

      of scientific men was appointed to investigate the whole cmestion , and arrived at the conclusion that Mr . Gorney ' s plan was perfectly eflicient for the purpose in view . Since that period not a single twelvemonth has passed during which repeated explosions have not occurred , in which life upon a largo scale has been lost , and equally large numbers have been maimed for life—maiming being nearly equivalent , in the case of a collier , to a sentence of starvation or pauperism for the rest of his days . The average number of lives lost annuallv has been from 700 to 800 and the

      number or " larnenters , ' as they are called in the north , about the same . Is it not fearful to think that in fourteen years from the time when an invention , that could have prevented it , was solemnly recommended to the attentive consideration of the Legislature , the lives of from 10 , 000 to 32 , 000 personshave been sacrificed in this way , and nu equal number made outcasts and burdens upon society ?

      But since the time to which' we i-efer , the safe working of mines , though neglected by Coal Masters , Cabinet Ministers , and Members of Parliament , has occupied the attention of practical and scientific men to a very large extent , and from personal observation and inquiry into the results of their labours , we can affirm that there is scarcely a casualty which the miner can be subjected to , 'while prosecuting his laborious and valuable occupation , from which he cannot be effectually and economically protected by the inventions now

      in existence . Mr .. Rickie , civil engineer , who has made this . subject a matter- of continuous attention and disinterested exertion for many years , is in possession of plans fully adequate for almost all conceivable exigencies : with a rare philanthropy he has urged the adoption of those p lans upon the C 4 overnmcnt for years ; he has claimed ho reward or remuneration whatever fortliemjand the only result has been the receipt of those Whitehall and Downing-street official epistles , which , in such cases , can be looked upon as nothing more than studied and elaborate insults . "

      It is , iudeed , high time that this question was taken vigorously up by some one prepared to prosecute it to a successful and satisfactory termination . Tho mere vis inertia of the Mine Owners will require an immense momentum to overcome—the habitual indolence of men in office , aud their strong disinclination to be troubled with any kind of work that thoy can possibly shirk—the selfish and classcharacter of the Legislature ; all these are obstacles in the way , which will require a rare union of judgment , determination , and

      perseverance to surmount . But the object . is of sufficient magnitude to deserve all these qualifications , and the most earnest oxertioios on the part of all classes of society . Our manufacturing and commercial supremacy rests upon our Coal Mines . Without tho supplies of that mineral which are constantly poured into Manchester , Glasgow , Leeds , Sheffield , Birmingham , and the great hives of industry everywhere , what would be the value of the mammoth factories , in which hardware and textile fabrics intended for the markets of the world , are manufactured ? Without Coal what would

      become ofthe Steam Navy , which either for postal , passenger , or goods traffic , has become indispensable to the commercial existence of the country ? ' How many of the home virtues which characterise us as a nation , would disappear with the fireside of tho Englishman ? In every light , therefore , we may urge the claims ofthe Colliers to just treatment " We do not speak of humanity ; but , we do say , that the class who are engaged in an occupation of itself surrounded with a sufficient number of inevitable discomforts , ought to be secured against the continued peril of bib and limb , by all the means which science can

      invent , and practiccil mechanical skill" apply . Wc earnestly hope that Mr . Dvjncombe' s health will enable him to follow his Bill up through , the remaining stages , and that its success may add one more to the many claims he has upon the gratitude ofthe communit y at lar ^ e , and ofthe working classes especiall y . ° _ The debate on Tuosdav respecting International Arbitration , was , ' as Mr . Moxckton Milnes truly observed , of itself a great pbenoinoiion . Looking , at it in an abstract and

      philosophical light it was a hopeful one ; tho progress of hunicinit y lias been marked by tho gradual abandonment of mere brute force for the arbitration of tribunals with settled principles of action . Mediation has taken the place of blind passion . Reason substituted for blows with great advantage to the world at large . In tho early savage state where every man is independent , he is , in fact , individually a microcosm of society . He is his own lawyer , policeman , and soldier . Like Isiimael of old !

      no * ever , tins independence is'too frequently found to signify nothing more than that ' . ' his hand is against every man , and every man's hand is against him . " Law is b y no means justice , but a great advance in civilisation . was made when it was substituted for an appeal to arms under the blind and infuriated passions of the moment As we progress , perhaps Law S . t «?« made ¦ ynonymon . with Equity , and one ofthe most certain modes of hasten w the advent oi that desirable period , is to promote io tho utmost the supremacy , of Reason and KnowCdge , xonjoined with pacific and charitable

      dispositions . It is scarcel y necessary to say , that full of causes for discontent as society now is , it is still infinitel y better than when open and undisguised violen ce and cupidity characterised tho conduct of all classes . No doubt , the " raid" of a host of Scotts , Ruxhebeokds , and Armstrongs , over the hmghsh border , and their equall y sudden retreat , laden with the spoil collected during the predatory incursion ; or the fell swoop of a Highland , chieftain from his mountain eyrie on the fat beeves pastured upon- the neb . meadows -of the lowlands—reads very
