This medicine has been before the British public only a few years , and perhaps in the annals of the world was never seen success equal to their progress ; the virtues of this Medicine were at once acknowledged wherever . tried , and recommendation followed recommendation ; hundredshad soon to acknowledge that Parr ' s Life Pills had saved them , and were loud in their praise . The startling facts that were continually brought before the public at once removed any prejudice which some may have felt ; the continual good which resulted from their use spread then * fame iar and wide , at this moment there is scarcely a country on the face of the globe which has not heard of their benefits , and have sought for supplies , whatever might be the cost of transmission . The United States , Canada , India , and even China have had immense quantities shipped to their respective countries , and with the same result as iu England—Usivekssj . 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 ' an , we recommend a careful perusal of the following Testimonials . - The sale of Parr ' s Life Pills amounts to upwards of 30 , 000 boxes weekly , more than all other patent medicines'put together .

REFORM ilbiEMfci ^ FRM 5 E . J , . JANQjU ^ T ^ i ^ ON . ^^ , , :. < : ( From intr Paris Correspondent . ) This meeting of the Democracy of the department ofthe OOte d 'Or , ^ awncontestibly the most splendid oneof the ! whole series ^ f Reform Banquets . 1 , 31 W sat down to dinner . There were present deputations from almost all the neighbouring towns , and even a Swiss deputation , composed of citizens from « eurchatelGenevaand Lucerne ; The character of the
, , meeting is very clearly marked out by the names of the principal speakers—M . M . Louis Blano , FJocob , Ledru-Rollin , Etienno Arago—allof them belonging to the Ultra-Democratic party , represented by the Revokmb . ' 'VTe need not say that Louis Philippe was not toasted at this dinner . M . Signard , of Gray , a neighbouring towD , spoke to the toastr- ' The Democrats of Lil ) e who , at the late banquet otitheir town , sternly refused to compromise with the sham-Literals ; and by their energy , union , and intelligence , saved the honour of Democracy . ' ...
M . Etienne Arago , a well-known literary character of Paris , and who but recently brought upon the stage an exceedingly successful comedy ; entitled 'The Aristocracies , ' then spoke to tho sentimenln- 'The developement of literature , science , and the fine arts ; ' exposing , in a brilliant speech , the rapid advance literature and science were sure to make under a free and democratic system . At the toast- ^ 'The future progress of France , ' the chairman called uponM . Louis Blanc , who was very enthusiastically received by the meeting . He delivered a splendid speech , containing many just and striking observations on the past developement ef France ; on the conclusions to draw from it with regard to the future ; on-the particular character impressed
indelibly upon the French Democratic Movement by the revolution . He was repeatedly and deservedly interrupted by applause * It was a speech quite , worthy ef the first historical writer France now possesses . There is , however , one point upon , which we would make a few observations , which we hope will be taken in the same friendly spirit in which we write them . M . Blanc says— ' We want union in Democracy . ; And no one may deceive himself , we do not think and labour for . Franca only , but for the whole world , because the future of France contains in it the future of mankind ; In fact , we are placed in this adroira . blepoaition , that , without ever ceasing ta be national , : we are necessarily cosmonolite . and are even more
cosmopolite than national . ' Whoever wouldiall himself a Democrat , and be at tho sane time an Englishman ; would give the lie to the history oihia own country , for the part which England has always played ,-has been a struggle of egotism against fraternity . In the same manner ; he who is a * Frenchman , and would noti be a-cosmopolite , would give the lie to his country ' s part ; for France never could make predominant ! any . idea , except it was for the benefit » of the whole , world . Gentlemen , at the time of . the Crusades , when -Europe- w nt to conquer the grave of Christ , it was France who took the movement under her wings . Afterwards , when the priests would impose moon ; us the yoke of Papist supremacy , the
Gallican bishops defended the - rights of / conscience . ( And in theNlast days of the ancient monarchy , who supported yoong , republican America ? France , always . France !¦ ¦ . And what was true of monarchical France , how should it not be true of Republican France ?• Where , in the book of history , ' do we find anything resembling that admirable , sell-sacrificing , disinterestedness of the Republic , when , exhausted by the blosd she had shed on our frontiers and on the scaffold , she found yet more blood to shed for her Batavianbrethren ? When beaten or victorious , she enlightens her very enemies by the sparks of her genius ! Let Europe send us sixteen armies , and we shall send her liberty in return . '
Now , without intending : to deprecate in any manner the heroic efforts of the French Revolution , and the immense gratitude the world owes to the great men of the Republic , we think that the relative position of France and England , with regard to cosmopolitism , is not at all justly delineated in the above s-ketch . _ We entirely deny the cosmopolitic character ascribed to France before the revolution , and the times of Louis XL , and Richelieu , may serve as proofs . But what is it M . Blanc ascribes to France ? That she never could make predominant any idea , except it was to benefit tho whole world . Well , we should think M . Louis Blanc could not show us any country in the world which could do otherwise than France is said to have done . Take England , for
instance , which M . Blanc places in direct opposition to France . England invented the steam engine ; England erected the railway ; two things which , we believe , are worth a good many ideas . Well , did England . invent them for herself , or for the world ? The French glory in spreading civilisation everywhere , principally in Algiers . Well , who has spread civilisation in America , Asia , Africa , and Australia , but England ? Who founded the very Republic , in the freeing of which France took some part ? Eng . land—always England . If France assisted in freeing the American republic from English tyranny * England freed the Dutch republic , just two hundred
years sooner , from Spanish oppression . If France gave , at the end of the last century , a glorious example to the whole world , we cannot silently pass by the fact that E'gland , a hundred and fifty years sooner , gave that example , and found at that time , not even France prepared to follow . And , as far as ideas are concerned , those very ideas , which the French philosophers , of the . 18 th century—which Voltaire . . Rousseau , Diderot , D'Alembert , and others , did so much to popularise—wheie had these ideas first been originated , but in England ! Let us never forget Milton , the first defender of regicide , Algernon Sydney , Bolingbroke , and Shaftesbury , over their French more brilliant followers .
If an Englishman ' would call himself a democrat he would give tho lie to the history' ef his own country , ' says M . Blanc . Well , we consider it as the veriest proof of sterling democracy , that it must give the lie to its country , that it must repudiate all responsibility for a past filled up with misery , tyranny , class-oppression , aud superstition . Let the French not make an exception to tho other democrats ; let them not take the responsibility for the doings ef their Kings and Aristocrats of former times . Therefore , what M . Blanc thinks a disadvantage to English democrats , we think to be a
great advantage , that they must repudiate the past , and only look to tho future . A Frenchman is necessarily a cosmopolite . Yes , in a world ruled over by French influence , Freneh manners , fashions , ideas , politics . In a world in which every nation has adopted the characteristics of French nationality . But that is exactly what the democrats of other nations will not like . Quite ready to give up the harshness of their own nationality , they expect the same from thoiFrench . They will not be satisfied in the assertion , on the part of the French , that they are cosmopolites ; assertion which amounts to the demand urged upon all others ,
to become Frenchmen ; Compare Germany . Germany is the fatherland of an immense number of inventions—of the printing prees , for instance . Germany has produced—and this is recognised , upon all hands—a fer ; greater number of generous and cosmopolitic ideas than France and England pufc . together . And Germany , in practice , has always been humiliated , always been deceived in all her hopes . She can tell best what French cosmopolitism has been . In the same measure as
France has to " complain—and quite justly—of the treachery of English policy , Germany has . experienced a policy quite as treacherous on the part of France , from Louis XI . down to Louis Philippe . If we were to apply the measure of M . Louis Blanc , the Germans would be the true cosmopolites , and yet they do not pretend to this . So much upon this point . We wish to establish a discussion upon it , as this will only lead to a mutual understanding ; , to a firm , union of French and English Democracy . . •' .,.
After M . Blano , M . Flocen spoke to the toast : 1 The Democrats of Europe . ' . . , ,. ; , < : ¦ , . .. ; , M , Flocon said : Look around y ou , listen toiho yokes which arise from foreign countries ; complaints or menace ; sighs or hopes ; . what tell they ? They invoke the principle of the French Revelationthey proclaim m the face of all despotisms , its immortal motto .- liberie , Egalite , Fraternite . > Yesj those very nations , which . in the delusions of slavery and ignorance , made an impious , war on the revolution ; they now come . by thousands to take up its standard , and promise to be most ardent defenders of the glorious principles they did not understand in times
past . This striking fact b before the eyes , of all the world , and I know nothing more terrible to our . enemies , nothing which could more efitualS recall to our mrnds our duty . In England ,, at the and most tyrannical aristocracy of the world , the people ^ reorganising . An immenseaZiSn / con ducted byexpenenced leadew , enrols daily thousands of working men , who will undertake to avenge the wrongs of humanity , And the rights of man are not a new watchword in England . At the time of the old civil wars , in the midst of religious fanaticism and political passions , several parties clearly saw the great social truth i
When Adam delvad and Bv » span , Where was then the gentleman 1 That was proclaimed by the Covenanters almost throe hundred yeara ago . The same question is again put ; and tho cotton lords disdain as much to listen to the complaint of the children of toil , as did the landlords mby . gone times . Therefore , asking what is rifcht will not suffice ,, tha people must be strong enough to take it and the English people k » ew this In Belgium , at this very moment , a soeiety is or ' ganising uniting Democrats of all nations , !

Obi doubtless , ifw « cast owejea over the pages o ? certain romance writers , to whom the grand side of things , has appeared trivial , vulgar—who bare sought for effeeMn the humorous , the fantastic , the exceptional , the people—is it thus ! Taking the normal Iffe of our towns , from one polat , where criminals escaped from justice , find a refuge , the way of life , the dregs of society , they have said , Such are the people )' Doubtless such would still be the people , did , we put faith in those , mercenary writers , who , to terrify the wealthy , cry out against the invasion of the barbarians ! Barjxt
Wans / , they have cast that epithet upon the people , as the most outrageous of insults . Ah ! if barbarians always Signify men full of simplicity , of strength ' ofsopial and youthf ul energy , those harharians can alone -save our worn-out offiiial world , fasthnstehlng . to ' decay , In power , lessaess and corruption . No ; a thousand times no , it is not the people , ' It is not uppn the theatre of crime and _ debiuohwj . ' that ' JtmM ^ wlthi ^ Wmust . transpWowselva ^ taring ; ' towns , where the merchant , struggling ; agaiu . it unrestricted , competition whteh crushes him , between the tyrannical pressure , of capital and oppjoajtlon to . wages , which eat him up , ho is compelled to reduce ) hose wages , 1 b order to avoid haakruptcy and . dishonour . , Ah ! believe riot that the people , in their , spirit of justice ,
always accuse the masters as the . cause of that cruel nrcessity . Know they not that our industry . fails for want of outlet ; 'that , we have leea the greatest number of the msrketsof the ^ woirlo closed against us ; and that pur commerce , has perished , where . our flag has been trampled underfoot ? ' . . Well ; lnthemlds ' tof . those . Viciss | tudes , ' of those fluctuations ^ of this crisis of wages , what befals the workinih ? The labour of the father , no longer sufficing to procure bread far the family , the daughter prostitutes herself for food ; the child must go to aid the formidable machine , and exhaust his unevolved strength ; and by the side of those beanteous fabrics , the product of our induitry , tho eye . wanders over riobetty boys , faded girls , worn . outmen , bent under the . pressure of premature labour . And , nevertheless , of that physically decayed
population—those who have escaped enervation , sicknesswho have attained their proper height , will go forth to do bat tie for their country—nobly to encounter death beneath her banner . Such are the people of . the towns , sociable , good , patient in the midst of those , daily evils , — doing mora , deriving from within themselves the light of knowledge , dealt outto thWwlthsuch a niggardlyhand , reading , sometimes composing verses ; upoa their sufferings or their prospects , publishing , journals , which en . lighten and prepare these formidable-, problems , respect , ing the future fate of mankind ! It is those people of the towns whom some writers , who only judge by their own flimsy minds , call barbarians ! ' . ; In this slight and rapid sketch , we have onlyse ' eh' the people in their habitual life—their daily struggle ' s ; hut were one of those
nnforeseen scourges , In vrbioh a fearful inundation sweeps off every thing in its destrnctivp course , a , terrific fire , or a severe cholera suddenly to arise , who would be foremost in the cause of humanity V who would [ forget their families and their wives , upon their lowly couches ? their children , ' who might die on the morrow % who would peril life without counting the cost ; and fly when the service was performed , without ey & n leaving their names ? , —the people ! Intelligence or devotedness , head . or heart , the people are , therefore , worthy to exercise the rights to which they lay claim . And who are better aware of it than the citizens ' , who by the superhuman efforts of the people , have conquered the twofold tyranny of the nobility and the priesthood . It was to that clergy , to that nohility , as to the States of 1617 , that a
member of the bourgeoisie once said— ' You , our elder bi others , you , our younger brothers—for we are all brother s—forming but one and the same nation . ' And the clergy and the nobles attempted to make that coura . geous member of the tain ! retract and their minions to scourge him , regarding a plebeian as of a conqdered and inferior race . Not : only are the people worthy to represent themselves , but if justice is to he rendered , they can only be efficiently represented ly themselves , Who , then , in a legislative chamber knows sufficiently , at this present moment , their interests , there wants to d & re ts defend them ? There are many men , gentlemen , who would unite in our principle of Beform ; for it is now made evident—but they still dread the advance ot democracy ; yet never has a solemn and decisive movement , in the
onward march of humanity , been preceded by more significant auguries ! Let us pass rapidly in review those tramcehdant men of our own age . Towering above all , is one whose prophetic speech is engraven on every heart . 'Before fifty years , ' said Napoleon ,, 'Europe will be Cossack or Hepubliean . ' It shsll not , he Cossack— . and in this patriotic city exists the , right sojo say . If doubt could ever have prevailed , it would assuredly not have been in the midst of . those whose love of national . independence and of the revolution of 1793 , transformed each citizen into a hero ! Bepubllcas—but I pause , gentlemen—the laws ef September ate in force , and in order . to
be stroag , when armed in . a good cause ,, we must . know how to keep within the law . I shall , therefore , only permit myself io choose , as interpreters of my thoughts , a few men , whose very names shed a glory over their country . He , for example , who has sung the high hymn of legitimacy , and who has achieved renown , . in essaying to restore the ancient ruins of the past . Chateauhriand , In his sincerity , has been unable to avoid regarding the approaching future of the world , as tending Ware ' s democracy . Beranger , whose patriotic hymns will be eternally repeated by the . world—hymns , which we , his cotempomrles , ought to toaoh to onr children as a prayer , whilst a 'Waterloo remains to . be
avenged !! Beranger believes m the approaching sovereignty of the people . Arid Lamurtine , sparkling with poetry , with eloquence , has passed by legitimacyhe has traversed the marshes of the plain , in order to approach nearer to us . Though an ardent admirer of the Girondists , yet the noble candour of his mind leads him to draw conclusions favourable to the Radicals . There is a something , however , which still divides him from pure democracy ; as for myself , I oaiy behold the steps of giants , each day rapidly striding towards us So much for men ef letters , gentlemen , and that unanll mous testimony rendered by such illustrations in favour of our party , might suffice fur its hopes . But cast jour eyes into the domain of science ; beheld a man who is at the summit of all—of whom the two . worlds would de . prive us—Arago ! But for an imperious "duty he would have been here in the midst of jou . He would much better than I am able ; have spoken to yen of the rights of the people ; ho who was the first to advocate their in
cause another assembl y , where to ' do so required no small amount of moraf caurare . 'Is not then , Arago entirely for democracy ? And'ih the arts ' who with his powerful chisel draws forth , from marble ! those men who have best served- the people * Who confidcis to the eternity of brpnza those grand revolution . ages ? David of Angers ! Is he not , also , for the cause of thepeopl . ! Well , whes ' sb many fetrleus mil aeclarem favourof democracy , ^ struggle for Its attainmemy how conclude otherwise than that right and Providence combat with us , and for us J' Those are the teachings of talented men ; but , have not the teachings of the people also their manifestations ? look at Poland—heroic Poland—the last pulsations ; of whose heart still throbs for ^ liberty—no longer possessing an army 'each day some martyr censecratea himself to her cause , Italy ; she t « o longs for unity . She emerges from her ruins , which constituted her glory , in order to
acquire fresh renown . May she on awakening distrust herself ; let her remember Masaniello . Switzerland ;—I feel that I ought well to weigh my words at this solemn moment . We can doone thing , gentlemen , we can unite ontse Wes for an Instant , by rcooUcctioa , by thought , with those whom we look upon as brothers in order to pray that victory may ha with them , as have hitherto been tight and reason ! The cause of SwiU rerlaudis ours , gentlemen ; the Radicals there wage war against two things , which are tho plague-spots of our era—aristocrat * and worthless priests . Respect our creeds , but war against those who , under the mask of religion , are the abettors of despotism , and of tyranny Short-si ghted beings ! who see not In this double association of genius and of the people , the near advent of a Messiah of equality !

The Polish Revolution. Public Mebthtg Ai...
THE POLISH REVOLUTION . Public Mebthtg AiBRrasBts . — A public meet & u . was held on the 28 th ult ., in the Salle do Cbriat , Town Hall , * Brussels . M . Gendebien , town- cotm > cillor , took the chair . We observed on the platforfti MM . Zalewski , ancient commander of the staff of the Polish army , Lelewel , Lehardy de Beaulieu , 4 c , The meeting was comprised of Belgians , Poles , Frenchmen , Germans , & c . . M . Zalewski , first thanked the Belgian people for having offered to the exiled Poles the official building of the Town Hall ;—M . 'Bartels then addressed the meeting . —M . Bornstedt , editor of the Bnvsasia Gsbmah Gazette , then appealed tothe working people of all countries not to be disunited by the efforts of their rulers to divioe their interests . —M . Born , a German working
man , then addressed the assembled thousands . Be eajd the German people had nothing in common with the German government , who oppressed Po . land . The German people . wishes nothing more than the accomplishment of Poland's liberty . He then adverted in particular to the state of anarchy and disorder to which the working people of all countries were subjected by the system of unbridled com petition . We , the proletarians , he said , we must re-establish order , by overthrowing the present dominion of the Bourgeoisie ; by re-modelling bociety , and giving it a new foundation , and theulfc may be said justly Order reigns all over the world , order reigns at Warsaw !'—M . Irabert , on the part of the French people , then branded with the strongest terms of contempt , the conduct of the French government towards Poland . Several other speakers ad . dressed the meeting , which quietly separated .
Sranish Weahh.—The Duke Of Albuquerque D...
SrANiSH Weahh . —The Duke of Albuquerque died so wealthy that the weighing of his gold and silver occupied two hours each day for six weeks . Amongst other things , there were 1 , 400 dozen ef plates , & DO great dishes , 100 little ones , and every thing else in proportion . There were also 76 silver ladders to set things on the cupboard , which were ascended by little steps , like the altars in a great hall , i ToBMOBMW . —Air Aiiigbd Case op Assadxt upon the person of Grace Field , a . child of about thirteen years of age , by — Beaumont , a shopkeeper at Millwood , near Todmorden ,. 6 neof of the witnesses at Lancaster against the Chartists , and now the head constable of Stansfield , waa tried before John Crossley Scaitliffe . Esq . and J . Taylor , Esq . of Todmordeo Hall . Mr Stansfield , attorney , appeared for the
plaintiff , and Beaumont : conducted his own defence , if it could be so called . Witnesses were brought forward whoproved ha vingseen Beaumont follew the plaintiff to her father ' s . nouae ^ oinsr in , and afterwards hearing a scream , iipo'ffjrhich the witness ran into the house , found Beaumont ' trying to force the girl to comply with his lustful propensities ; as the witness went in , Beaumont pulled his hat over his face , to prevent the witness seeing who it was , but he followed Beaumont into the Black Swan Inn , and there recognised him . Others swore to having seen Beaumont ; and a little girl swore that Beaumont bad said he would give her and the plaintiff , Fielden , each a gingham fent , if they would go a playing into the room where he took in pieces . The impression created . in the court was that a charge of rape was fully substantiated , and when the magistrates said they-would decide onit as a common ' assault , there was a cry of shame ran through the whole body of the
court ,. but which was immediately suppressed . Beaumom was asked what he bad to say for himself . He said be believed he was there , but was so drunk that really he did not know what he was doing , and brought forward some of his companions te prove his statement . That was his defence . The plaintiff ' s attorney then argued the point of law to prove that it could not be called legally a common assault '; hot though he quoted from abundant law books to prove his points it was all to no purpose , for the magistrates were determined to bring , it in a common assault , but they were foiled : sooner than allow them te do so , he ( Stansfield ) said he would withdraw it and take it to a higher court , where he could have justice . Eventually he did withdraw it . Never was there such a feeling created as there has been over this case ; every one could see . the partiality shown to the prisoner , and all espressed an opinion that had it heenaworkingman , he would have been committed on a case of rape .
_ Brutal Conduct op thb Poiice . —On Saturday nigh * , December 11 h . there weie anumber of persona leaving the house of James Suthera White , licensed victualler , who were in a state of intoxication , and were , ' as is ' usully the ease , rather noisy ; the police came up , and without provocation of any kind began to layabout them with their bludgeons , striking at random , hitting any one they came near . William Scholfield , Sack Brook-street , was coming down Tork-street , on his way from Dr Scholfield ' s , where he had been for some medicine for his wife who was lying poorly , when one of the policemen . went up to him , and took a deliberate aim and hit him across the face with his bludgeon , the other policeman then came up , and both then began to beat bint about the head and shoulders ; he received such aa amount of injury that Dr Scholfield had to be fetched to him , when it appeared they had fractured his skull , and done also serious damage to his shoulder ; but he was not the only sober man whom thev ill treated .
TqDM 0 RDBK .--Since my Iast . Firth and Howarth ' a , Halliwells , and many other firms have commenced ; some ten , othors ^ eleven , hours per day ; but . Fielden Brothers , still continue seven hours per day , and from all appearance are likely to do so for some time to come . —Correspondent . Te thb Tbadsb o * Shbpfibu )—Sib : I hope , through the medium of the Star , to throw out a few hints to the trades generally , and of Sheffield in particular , that I have not seen hinted at before . Being a worker in one of the grinding trades , and feeling the . . unhealthy effects upon my constitution , and seeing my fellow tradesmen around me , at from thirty to forty years of age , hurried to a premnture grave , I think it is time to look for a permanent remedy to relieve ourselves , and place therising generation in a
better scale of being than the present have ever enjoyed . In Dr Holland's * Vital Statistics of Sheffield , ' he states the average duration of life amongst forkgrinders to be 30 years , scissors-grinders 31 years , razor-grinders S 3 years , and rising from dry to wet , the highest average is about 44 years . Remember wo are always working in a clouded atmosphere , one , two , and sometimes aa many as three stones workine in one room ; nnMons of particles of dust and steel crowding the reom , and we bent in an unhealthy position over our work , and every moment in danger of being lamed or killed through the stone breaking . The stone makes from six hundred to one thousand revolutions per minute , and if a stone breaks , as in fruentlthe the effect
eq y case , is like a cannon going off-no warning , metal walls and even roofs are no barrier to its progress . A httttmnbeinghas but a poor chance of saving himself , as friends of men dead and in their graves , and living men with broken limbs , can testify . The three trades I have mentioned do not , at the present time , ' earn on an average mere than twelve to fourteen shillings per week , while ? * j ¦ flTJ [^ has to be Paid f <» wheel rent . The trades of Sheffield have spent enormous sums of money through their , unemployed hands walking about in idleness . Our trade numbers about two hundred adults , and one hundred boys : suppose we ? . , o , n ™* P man aBd sixpence per boy—* 1210 s . per wrak—into the Land Purchase Depart . ment
, until we bought a two or three acre allotment , and then ballot amongst the paid-up members of the i trades for one to . go on to the allotment , the drawn . member not to bo allowed to sell except to some i member of his own trade . The allottee to pay his l five per cent , ner annum back to his trade , until he I had purchased it out and out . The poorest trade j could unite on thnvplan ; there would be no compul . . aion , no coercion , but some . preapectofthinrj im ? the i labour market . - * ' Shbppkij ) Gbinder . „ o ? i £ WH NAa M ^ BB 8 . ~ Received for the horse- isutc *^ Winlaton General Smiths . f o * i ' SwaUweU Smiths ... ..
