DISPENSARY FOR THB CURE OF DISEASES OF THB SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOUS AFFECTIONS , IUhp ^ tead Stbeet , Fitzbot Sqosbk . FlyiK ' a *—TDOaAS INNIS , M . D ., S 3 . itteroy iguare , Jfesnoere / tts Royal College of Surgeons , London ; late Assistant Surgeon in the . Hon . East India Company ' s eretoe . IT IS a strange anomaly in the practice and progress 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 care 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 induring plagues of human life are more extensive than those of any other known disorder , there being little short of half-a-mlllion of patients ansually seeking relief . If we turn onr eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject fo-ly recognised , and the exertions of men of science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to the cure ef Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present day writes thus : — ' Since tie grave has closed over the labours of Bateman , the culture cf Diseases of tht Skin in this country , as a distinct branch of Medical . 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 of Lorry te onr 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 never be too much insisted upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and the almost in'tumouotable difficulty of acquiring accurate knowledge as to their modes of treatment—connected with the immense numbers of the suffering p irties- -tender this desideratum actually the greatest under which these islands at present labour , in a sanatory point oi view . These diseases are so numerous at 'multiform in appearance and effect , and present such an Infinite variety in diagnosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies from the uncertain results of individual and scattered practice . Notwithstanding the laudable endeavours of the various British Authors who have written upon this subjectand the highest talent has not been wanting in the res . pect—still , of actual curative progress little or nothing lias been achieved ; and this , plainly , from the want of a theatre of action , where the operations and results of curative appliances might be ocularly tester , compared , and treasured up in the garner of experience . Hear Dr Watson en this subject : — ' To become expert , ' says he , 'in the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in caring such of them as are curable by onr art , yon must see them with your own eyes . Verbal descriptions of their change . ful characters are of comparativtly little service or interest They ere among the things that require to he ' ocults suojeete fidetibus . ' Eren pictured representations convey but an inadequate notion of the morbid appearances th = y are designed to ponrtray . The lecturer on Skin Diseases should hare patients before him to whose bodies he conld point' The opinions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of these views . Writers may classify and sub-classify , and arrange nnder g > nera and species , as the late Dr Wiiian auu his pupil , Dr Batesum , have done , with consummate skill and unwearied industry , but wanting the means of reference to actual cases and personal observation and comparison , their efforts are thrown away , and the ravages of disease unabated . Deeply impressed with th « e considerations , and : anxious to afford an opportunity to all who may be desirous of co-operating with him in the advancement of this hitherto neglected department of medical science , Dr Innishas opened the , above-named Dispensary at Hampstead-street , Fitsroy-square . Hopin ; to see the day when we shall not be behind onr French neighbours 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 interested in this important subject not to despise the' day { Of small things , ' but to unite with him at once in carrying -Out this infant Institution , which has for its immediate and special object the testing of the principles upon which -oar foregone practice has been based , with the actual operations of nature under disease .

BLAIR'S GOUT ASD RHEUMATIC PILLS . Copy of a letter from Mr Blake , Kingscliffe , NorthamptomJblre . Kingscliffe , January 21 , 1817 . " Sn , —Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic Gout . 1 procured the best advice possible , but without deriving any benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary , where I continued twelve weeks , and left it without having obtained any benefit , and all hope of relief had vanished . " This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to'try Blair ' s Pills- Ithenloat no time in sending to Mr Hoftlock , of Stamford , for a box , and by the tone I had taken that quantity I got rid of one cratch . I then sent for another box , which enabled me to throw away the other , and thank God 1 have never since had such an attack . " I am much exposed to cold ; but whenever I feel symptoms of attack , I have recourse to the pills with universal success . "I recommended the pills to a gentleman who resides in this neighbourhood , and he hiiS derived the most esssntial relief therefrom , and is now never without them . " Yon may publish this for the benefit of those similarly afflicted . " I am , sir , yonr obedient humble servant , "Samuel Blake , " Smith and Farrier . ' , The never-failing effects of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic PUls in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give relief in a few hours , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago , sciatica , pains in the head or ace , and indeed of erery rheumatic or gouty affection ; la fact such has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and eom-» l-te safety of this medicine , that it hat astonished all w . o have taken it , and there is scarcely a city , town , or Tillage in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evi . ^ £ 5 » « Kn « d rh euhatic pills andobserve thename and address of "Thomas Pront , 229 , Strand , London , " impressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine .

The United States , Canadn , India , and even China have had immense quantities shipped to their respective countries , and with the same result as in England—Umvebsal Goon . . 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 toall , we recommend a careful perusal of the following Testimonials .

setting lortn . amerenco ot limes in the early days compared with the present . : [ The following sign of popular discontent is at present in course of circulation in the county of Cade and Wat Tyler . } Who furnishes the tables of the great with all the dainties which they enjoy ? An & whb . —The Agricultural Labourer . Vfbo d e corates their p er s ons and houses with all the gr and e ur whi c h t hey a pp ear in ? Ahswhb . The Mechanical Labourer , To whom are they indebted for all their enjoymenta in this life ! AHSWBR . —Tue Labourer . Then why should the Labourer be punished with starvation while he is bringing it for them ? Wh a t w o uld . the Drone Bees of the hive do , were it not for the Working . "Bees who . build the cells and gather all the honey ? '•• ¦ .
The workman is worthy of his wages , In value full for all his toll ; It is written so in sacred pages , Nor tax his food , his life to spoil . Describe the Custom and Manners with the Farmer and hia Workman in the early days and the present . . I will divide the times under two names , the Pillion days and Carriage days . What do you mean by Pillion days ? Answer . — The F a rmer used t o carry his wife . behind him on a Pillion to Church , and they were called Dame and
Master . How did they treat tbeir workpeople then ? An . swbb . — Th e y bo th knew t heir workmen , and they were permitted the use bt the kitchen fire to eat their dinner in bad weather , and the good natured peop le would cut the man a piece of pork or bacon to make their lot the better ., Around the farmer ' s rural board , Harmony and love abounded ; Pride did not appear to afiWd Her cum , as peace surrounded ;
So much for the good Old Round Frock Farmers . Now describe the Carriage days . —In these times pride has changed the pod lor the worse , and t he Farmer and his Wife have a carriage to ride in , and they must be called Madam and .- Sir , and the workman is forbid the use of the kitchen fire , and if they should neglect to bow to the broom at the back door they are sure to affront the maid , or som e of the pigs , or some other who may have caught the contagion . What makes air this difference ? Answbr .-Prid e , by separating that reciprocal union which used to exist between the Farmer and his Workman . Pride the first great curse to man , Murdered union , peace , and love ; Sent the heart wandering deep In plan , . To evade the dictates from above . So much for the Boarding School Farmers
, I have heard many farmers complain much of the heavy burden of the government taxes , but I never saw one wh o murmur e d o r s howed a n y discontent a t the enormously heavier tax with which they voluntarily tax themselves by their pride . . The English Poet says of Babylon , Thus terribly did Babel fall and never more bo be found at all . ' Mention eome of the places gone down by Pride , — Babylon , Tyre , and Sidon , dso . It becomes every Christian to pray that the hearts of the people may be turned in the right way that the evil may be prevented , or in future days , America and Australia may have to say-How t erribl y has England fallen !

Mutint os the Thahbs . —On Saturday much interest was occasioned along both sides of the river Thames b y the sudden and unexpected stoppage of the whole of the steam boats belonging to the Iron Steamboat Company , viz ., Ma t rimon y , Brid e , Bridegroom , Br i desmaid , Wedding-ring , die . It appears that when the men were paid on Friday night the engineers and stokers received notice that in future their wages would be lowered , and is conse q uence t he whol e of the en g ineers and stok e rs s t ruck , The captains , not being aware of the circumstance , went , as usual , to their boats , when , to their no small sur p ri se , they perceived that to tires had been made , and no steam generated . Upon inquiry as to the cause , thev learned that ' the entri .
neersand stokers would not attend the boats unless the Company would promisotbat they should receive their full pay for their services . The eaptains of the two upper boats , which leave Chiswick and Kew not knowing that the others vessels had stopped started , a s usu a l , down the river ; but on reach ' tug Nine Elms the engineers and stokers finding the funnels ot the other boats lowered , and learning what ha d taken p lace , also refused to work , and t he whol e of the boats wore , consequently , laid up for the reraamderoftheday . On Sunday , the directors , in order to provide accommodation for the public traveiling by ^ their vessels to and from the Nine Elms Station of the South-western Railway , ac c eded to the rate of wages demanded by three of the crews to set that number of vessels running .

THE LAND PLAN AND THE DYING DISPATCH . TO XHB BMIOB 07 THE JJORTHBBN STAB . _ Sin , —On perasing a recent number of the Weekly Dtspoteft . Icouldnot hut notice with ' disgust the enveuomed spirit of the author of an article in that paper condemnatory of Mr O'Connor's Land Scbeme-a scheme fraught with benevolence , and calculated to , raise the condition of the industrious poor from a state of pauperism and degradation , to comparative comfort and independence . The writer of the article alluded to would fain make the world believe that there is no such feeling as disinterested heroism , in favour of the masses—an opinion derogatory to that sense of right and justice felt by every honest man . I am convinced that there are men in the world ( notwithstanding the corruptions of existing society ) , who from principle delight to disrobe self-interest to tlothe public good , I believe Mr 0 Connor to be one of this class , and even should he fail In effecting bis philanthropic Intentions , n connection with
the Land Scheme , I shall acquit him of being influenced by any motives bat those of honour and Integrity . la the course of a long experience in : the -world , I have frequently noticed that when a benevolent system has bean established , an adversary has sprung up , who , demonlike , has endeavoured to mar Its beauty ; or to destroy It altogether . Such ajpears to be the intention of the author of the rancorous article in the Dispatofc—a paper which the Nortnern Star Is rapidly eclipsing in the west of England , for as numbers of respectable tradesmen and others subscribe to the land System , they are , of course Interested in the weekly reports of the Northern Star . As a proof of the declining state of the Dispatch in this part of Devonshire , I have only to state the fact , that in the towns of Ashburton , Buckfa » ile ! gh and district , containing a population of 10 , 000 persons , in which two years since sixteen espies of the Dispatch were purchased weekly , the circulation has now dwindled to the insignificant number of three . Hence * arises the malicions
opposition , and the mean spite with which the sinking Dispatch attempts to depreciate the National Land Scheme . ''"" Yours , in the cause of freedom , I THOMAS CeXBEB , Member of the Land Company . Ashburton , Devon . '

Sia , —Having seen by the Stab that the Tiverton Chartists have fleeted Mr Rowcllffe to the town council , I would wish to urge upon them the propriety of carrying out the attempt to have some share in the local Parliament . November is near and the votes which carried Mr RowcllftVs election , can carry' any other man they may determine to support . Having been successful in oneward , should induce them to contest all . They knew not their strength in that ward till , the ; made the attempt , a » d were successful , and it may be the case in all the other wards of Tiverton . Nay , If they persevere we may yet sea Mr Rowcliffe mayor of , and Harney M . P . for , Tiverton . '
Sheffield , last year , returned two town-councillors ; and the Sheffielders can , at the least , return two morebut I oannot believe that a town , having a municipal constituency of 12 , 800 . ( see the Sheffield Independent ) , will be satisfied with two more representatives of the working man ' s interests . Leeds , again , will , I trust , do something , Manchester , too , has its Roberts and others . Cannot they be made the means of showing the people ' s strength ;! Is Norwich , which greeted Mr O'Connor with its thousands , to be without a veritable Chartist in its local assembly ? Nottingham ; which returned our champion , In opposition to the Whig hack , can surely do something .
Exeter , Plymouth , Derby , aud numerous other towns , should move . We shall , at any rate , make people know that we are in earnest , that Chartism is not dead , and never will die , while any man is deprived of his rights . To the work , then , ' Chartists . Deserve success . A WeBKiKQ Maw .

• THE WHISTLER' AND MR O'CONNOR . T » TUB EDITOB OS TBS MOMHBBN STAB . Dbab Sib , —The letter of * One who has Whistled at the Plough , ' which was copied into a recent number of the Star , is admirably written ; itRemands the gratitude of every member of the Land Company . His villi to the county of Cork , for the cake ot the working classes of Great Britain , was truly philanthropic ; how much does he merit at our hands for his disinterested zeal . Oh ! how I long to know such a noble spirit , travelling amongst the wild Irish , In the midst of pestilence , all foroursakes ; do , if in your power , let us know who our more than generous benefactor is . No doubt some cavillers will say , how is It that « the Whistler' Is so disinterestedly interested about our affairs ? I will say ,
why not ? Have net Johnny Bright and Co ., —bis employers—ever been ( as for as lip service goes , ) your mest steadfast and zealous friends ! Has any one on earth promised greater blessings to the toiling millions of this kingdom than the said firm ? Have they been realised ? You know they have not . Then why would you , tor an Instant , doubt their sincerity , or question their zeal to serve you , and protect your rights and interests ? Do not you know , that they are ever ready to make their serfs more comfortable by cutting off five or ten per cent , at the slightest stagnation of trade ; and , surely , their slaves know hew cheerfully they ( the said firm—the Free Traders , ) raise their wages when depression oe & flflo ! Dear Sir : I have been trifling too long , I will at once
come to the point ; 'The Whistler ' s' assertion , that abundance of abuse was poured on Feargus O'Connor , Esq . JM . P ., through the county , I question , and not only question , but deny it . The county of Cork I know as well as Mr' Whistler , ' whoever he is , and I am satis , fled that I know the people thereof equally so ; and I now publicly challenge 'the Whistler' to name one individual of respectability ( my idea of respectability is , that ev « ry honest man , be he ever so poor , deserves the title , ) who will , in the face of the Company , say one disrespectful word of Mr O'Connor , regarding him while he resided in Ireland . Well I know that one cannot be found . Some , it Is true , condemn his advecacy of Chartism , while It is his persevering advocacy of the principles of the People ' s Charter that makes him the idol of the English working men .
It may be well to observe , for the Information of those who are not acquainted with the history of the county of Cork , that there has not been one family In that county for the last century ( I could safely add In all Ireland , ) which has suffered more for Ireland than Mr O'Connor ' s . But if this were not the case , he has done enough himself to merit the eternal gratitude of his fel lOW Countrymen . If the name of O'Connor had never been mentioned In Irish history , but in the Rathcormac affair , that , and that alone , would entitle him to the sincere love of Erin ' s honest sons Well I recollect bis agonised looks on beholding the mangled remains of the more than distracted Widow Ryan ' s son , and others ,
who were so cruelly butchered , through the avaricious , ness of Archdeacon Ryder—his more than human exertions at the time , in quieting the people , whose excitement was such as to know nearly no . bounds ; the wild justice of revenge which blazoned in every countenance now presents itself to ray view , though yeara have roiled by since that lamentable occurrence . Well do I remembsrhis fervent appeals to the masses , Imploring of them to depend on the law ( badly as it was administered , ) for redress . Many , very many were his sleepless nights then—arduously did he struggle te obtain justice , and though he failed , It was well known that but for him Doctor Baldwin , and a fear others , the country would bare been saturated with blood .
IM the Whistler Mmsglues that Ingratitude is a trait of the Irish character , he maligns our countrymen—he knows them not . Would that I had him , in any portion of the county of Cork , and a few thousands of Corkmen about us , soon , very soon would they teach him not To bear false witness against his neighbour . * Though I deem It Imperative on me to bear my bumble testi . mony to the worth of our noble chief , something tells me that the sterling portion ef this kingdom know him too well to be influenced by the calumnies , 1 am yours truly , Ezeter .

The Approaching Visit Of Feargus O'Conno...
THE APPROACHING VISIT OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P .. AND ERNEST JONES , ESQ . TO THE WORKINgTmEN OF S COTL A ND . BBBTHBBff , —We are about to receive a visit from two of the most talented and firm friends of the unrepresented masses ; gentlemen who have come boldly forth from the ranks of the proud aristocracy to associate with working men . to defend the poor and the o p pressed , and to aid the great cause of moral , social , and polfttcat improvement—these gea . tlemen are Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., and Ernest Jones , Esq . Few , indeed , are the real friends ef the poor , and hard , indeed , has been the fate of those who have hitherto dared to advocate the cause of right against mi g ht , in all ages and in all elimes .
Aristocracy , kings , priests , and all the wealth and physical power of the earth hare been almost invariably arrayed on the side of oppression and things as they are . True , t her e h a ve a ppea red in the midst of tyranny and misrule a few noble spirits , who loved liberty and justice even better than all other earthly joys , but they have seldom been properly supported , often been basely deserted and ungratefully betrayed ; and tbey hare either fallen ¦ beneath the axe of as executioner , or died as exiles in foreign lands . In our own land , Muir , Palmer , Baird , and Hardy , and a host b e side s , have suffered and perished in the cause ot eqaal justice . Who does not sing with a swell of patriotic
pride—• Scots wha , ha ' e wi ' Wallace Wed , And remember with deep sympathy the cruel neg * lent , the sufferings , and base betrayal of the Scottish hero . We cannot read the story of the patriot ' s fata without tear s of genuine sympathy and deep com * miseratlon . We are surprised that such noble men were not better supported , their actions better app reciated , and that tbey were allowed to fall into the hands of their murderers . We erect monumental urns , and marble slabs with long inscriptions , setting forth their many virtues , how nobly they struggled , how cruelly they were persecuted , how basely they were deserted , and how undauntedly they fell t Thus we honour their names when the green grass waves over their mouldering remains" , and prove to tyrants thai the patriot ' s grave , even—• though crophied sot , Is holler hallowed ground than priests can make the spot .
We have no w an op p ortunity of proving the sincerity of our sentiments in regard to these noble mart y rs , by doing our duty towards men in every respect equal to them , who are about to visit the land of ' brown heath and shaggy wood . ' Let us prove that we _ appreciate their untiring zeal , their patriotism , their philanfchrophr , by giving them that cordial welcome , worthy of the land of Wallace and ef Muir : that true Scottish reception which they s o well deserve . We have patriots now before us ; why should wa delay honouring them until the cold clods of the valley are heaped above tbeir heads ? . 'Honour them now , cheer them on in that noble cause , which they have so truly adopted as their own , and prove to our oppressors that we will not allow them to die neglected , deserted , and betrayed , that onr posterity may honour the patriots which their fathers so basely deserted .
Feargus O Connor has baen prosecuted and imprisoned for our cause—calumniated and denounced by false friends and open foes , —but even in the dungeon ' s gloom his noble soul was still undaunted , and he came forth , and still stands , firm and true , the powerful champion ef 'honest poverty .
