My son Frederick , after an attack of measles was kit with a most distressing and fevers cough , which almost deprived him of rest . His appetite forsook him , his breathing became very difficult , and many friends considered his recovery perfectly hopeless . After using 2 . great variety of medicines without any relief , we were iadeced to make a trial of your invaluable Balsam , which produced a change very speedily , and eventually effected his complete cure . Since that time , whenever any of my family have been afflicted with a cough or cold , a d » se or two of the medicine has sever failed to effect a cure ; aud I caa confidently recommend it as an excellent remedy in such-esses .

      DISPENSARY FOB THE CURE OF . DISEASES OF THE SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOUS AFFECTIONS IlAHTiTEAD STBEET , FlTZEOT SqBAKE . . Ptysfcian—THOMAS 1 NN 1 S , M D . ^ J fi twoy Kfttare , ' : Jfember tf tkt Royal College of Surgeons , London ; late Assistant Surgeon in . xhe ' Hon .. East India Company ' s IT IS a «< range anomaly in the practice au 3 progress of medical science in this country , thatatno » gst nil the bencvo ent and uoblc ia ' stitations established for tha Hllevhttifiu of human misery , there exists but one devoted to the-cure or rtnelioration of Diseases of the Skin ; . It is « 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 those of any other , known disorder , there bung little shortof half-a-miUioa of patients rtnsually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes toJFrancewe shall find tbo importance of this subject fu ly recognised , and the exertions ot men of science nobly countenanced and encouraged by tlie National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St ! Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to the euro of Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present dsy writes thus : — ' Since the grave has closed over the labours of Hatemnn , the culture of Diseases of tht Skin iu 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 ot Lorry to our own , - till St . L- > uis Hospital has become no less deserving of fame than , St Louis , the tutelary shade of that magnidccnt . establishment . ' ; ' . Surely here is an example to this country which we are bound jealously to emulate . The writer feeis that the mportance and necessity of a simlar establishment in England can never betoo _ much insisted upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and the almost insurmouritable difficulty fof acquiring accurate knowledge as to their modes of treatment—connected with tr . e immense numbers of the suffering parties- render this desideratum actually the greatest under which these islands at present labour , inasana '* ry point ot amy . These diseases are so numerous ar ) umltrform in appearance acd elfect , and present such nn infinite variety in diagnosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies from the uncertain results of individual a . vi 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 respectr-stili , of actual curative progress little or nothing has been achieved ; and this , plainly , from the wnutot a theatre of action , where tho operations and results of curative appliances might be ocularly tested , compared , and treasured up i * tbe garner ot . experience . Hear Dr Watson on this subject : — 'To become expert , ' says he , 'in the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in curing such of them as are curable by our art , you must see them uithgour own eyes . Verbal descriptions of their cftunje . / tilcharacters are of compavat v . ly little service ov interest . They nre among the things feat require to bo ' ocl ( ltsfuo ;« cta / idettt » lw . Even picture * representations convey but an inadequate notion of the morbid appear , antes th-y are designed to pourtray . Tho lecturer on Skin Diseases should have patients before him to whose bodies he could point . ' The opinions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of ilu-so views . Writers may elassify and sub-clxisify , and- arrange under gi nera and species , as the lute Dr Willan and his pupil , Dr Dateman , have done , with consummate skill and unwearied industry , but wanting the means of reference to actual cases and personal ubservatiou and comparison , their efforts arc thrown away , and the ravages of disease unabated . Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to afford an opportunity to all who may bo desirous of co-operating with him in tho advancement of tliis hitherto neglected department of medical science , 'Dr Innis has opened the above-named Dispensary at Hump , stead street , Fitzroy-squarc . Hoping to sec the day when wo sha I mot bo behind our 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 , ' bnt to unite n ith him at once in carrying out this infant Institution , which has for its immediate and special object the testing of tlie pi-incipVsupon which our foregone practice has been based , with the actual operations of nature under disease .

      A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CURE FOR INFLUENZA COUGHS , COLDS , ASTHMA , INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION , AND . ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST AND LUNGS SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR , carefully prepared from the receipt of the'late C . Spenoor , surgeon , &<•„ Salfovd , Manchester ; deservedly celebrated as the most successMpractitioneriii all Pulmonary att ' ectibns . Of all complaints incident to the human frame , those of tha Lungs appear to ha most peculiar to this climate , especially in damp , fogjy weather , and during the wint r months j whilst persons of every age and ' station in lifs . are alike the subjects of attack . Spencer ' s Polmonic Elixir is admirably adapted to promote expectoration , ease the breathing , loosen the phlegm , abate fever , allay the tickling sensation which occasions the cough , without tightening tha chest . The Polmovic ELtxin was originally prepared by the late Mr 5 pcncor , whose signal sueecss in ui'pensrg it can havo the ready testimony of thousands , who have expert enced its efficacy . The recoipt is now solely known to the present proprietors , who purchnced it from the widow of the inventor . The two great clnracteristics of tho E'ixir are , the allaying of all irritation in th delicate and susceptible coating of the thrnat rind chest ; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the respiratory organ ? , whereby they areenahlcd to discharge their functions freely , and thus to overcome all difficulty of breathing arising from a cold , fogey , or impure atmosphere , and to throw off those insidious attacks which too oftan lay the groundwork of Consumption . For all temporary and local affections , as WheeziiiR , Iri'it itioa of the Throat , Huskincss of Voice , and Influenza , th * Pulmonic Eliixk gives instantrelief , whilein more Chronic Disorders (•• isperi . dieal Coughs or inveterate Asthma , ) it is equally efficient , though of couvsa requiring a littlo more perseverance in ths u « o of thft medicine . Innumerable cases of well attested cures have been received by tlio Proprietors of Spbvceii ' s Pulmonic Elixiij ; the following is tho most recent : — Messrs MoTTEnsHED and Co .. of Manchester , beg to hand the following testimonial , just received by them , addressed to the Proprietors of Sfencer ' s Pulmonic Elixih . Sirs , —I feel it a duty I owe to you and tho public to acknowledge the great benefit I have received by taking Spesceb s PncMONic Klixie ; I have hsen troubled for the last three years with a severe coush , and a disease on my lungs ; I have consulted some of the ablest medical men in Manchester and Nottingham ; but without receiving any but a temporary relief ; for a short time , and a ' , ways nt a great expense . Mthelatterend rflS < 4 , Iliad occasion to visit London ; before this timo . I never heard of your invsluable Elixir , A friend of mine recommended me to try it . As I found the London air made my cough worse tlian it had over been before , I did try it , and experienced great relief from the first dose I took : I persevered , and one small b ttlc of your Elixir , price ! s . ljd ., . did me more good than I have ever received for twenty times the amount , f r which Heel vory grateful .-I remain , Sirs , yours thankfully , M .

      cholera is expect' d , a tew or the medical men ot the locality have partially succeeded in attracting the attention of the townsfolk to the necessity of sanitary reform . One mode adopted for drawing notice to the question has been the exhibition on the walls of the foil / wins joke on a serious subject : ' At the annual ueneral meeting of the Fever Club , 1847 , the grand prize for filthy streets and sanitary neglect was pre sented to the successful candidates , the parochial officers of St Nido ' as and St Paul ' s , Deptford ; Malignant Typhus , Esq ., the cknirman . on presenting the prizes , expressed his admiration of tbe misconduct of the recipient ? , who , he declared , had reached the

      acme of paroch'al uncleanliness , and were therefore entitled to the best thanks of himsel / and all . other diseases . — Messrs Scarletina , Intermittent Fever , Consumption , Influenz a l , Small Pox , and a number of other epidemics and diseases , also warmly euloriscd the recipients of the prizes , and bore strong testimony to their merit .- — 'the Chairman then read a letter from Asiatic Cholera , Esq ., in whi « h lhatsentleman expressed his sorrow at not being able to be present at the meeting , having been delayed longer than ho expected on his journey , but promising to pay his re . spects to the successful gen'tlemen immediately on his a ' rivai . This announcement was received . with loud cheers —A deputation of undertakers who were in waiting then presented an address to the . fortunate

      parochial functtonnnes , thanking tfiem for their exertions in behalf of their tradu , and begging a continu » Rce thereof . The prope

      case you are indemnified . ' ' By no . means , for my house and all my money have been destroyed by fire . ' ' Alas ! this was a dreadful misfortune . ' ' Faith ! not so dreadful , for my wife and my house were burned together . ' A French paper says that a few days since the town-crier of Cherbourg , beating his drum , went through the town proclaiming the following : — 'Notice to yfcung girls ! Four young carpenters , who have arrived from Havre , and are employed at tbe military port , ( here their names and ages were given , ) being tired of a single life , wish to pet married . To see them , apply to M .

      ASSOCIATION OF MILL OWNERS . Sib ,--T bag to inform you that the following resolution was passed at a meeting of the association , held on Tuesday last . * It having been reported to the meeting , that the operatives , employed in some mills , had expressed their de . sire that the hours of labour in factories should not bt restricted to ten hours , but should be continued at eleven hours as at present allowed by law . . 'Itwas resolved ;

      « That iii tbe opinion of this meeting it is desfrablt thatsome steps should be taken by the master spinners and manufacturers , for the purpose of correctly ascer taining tho opinion of tke operatives employed in the different mills , as to t' < o expediency of endeavouring to limit the legislative restriction of the hours of labour in factories to eleven hours—and it is tbcAfore recommended that " such Stops be accordingly taken , but that the time and the w » y iu which it -shall be done shall be kft entirely to the discretion of ssch employer . ' . If the opinion of the operatives , fhjuld be in favour of tbo above limitation , a petition to the HoueeofCom . mons , praying for a Ripeal of so much of the last Factory Act ' as restricts tbe hours of labour to ttn hcurs per day , would probably bathe best mode of expressiagand giving effect to that opinion . I send you forms of petition which may be easily altered to their pleasure ..

      When the petiu ' on has boen . ifjrned , it may be returned to me , or you can forward it direct to yaur member for presentation . In the Utter case , I shall be obliged by your Informing me of tbe nnsiber of hands who have signed it . Yours , most ob » dif . ntly , William Hebok , Secretary , 21 , Princes . otreet . Manchester , 10 th Dec , 1847 .

      . I Havo Also Roeeivf D Information From...

      . I havo also roeeivf d information from other sources , on which , implicit reliance rosy oe placed , that some masters have themselves notified to their hands , that pethlons f > r thcR < p « al of the Tt-n Hours' Bill were in preparation , andI that they would all be expected to hign them;— -that other masters had caused their over lookers to » sk their hanoX this question , ' ' Would you rather work tan . eleven , or twnlve hours at corresponding wanes 1 'evidently intending to make the hands beliere , that the rate of wages p-.: r hour must necessarily be the samt whatever number of hours per day they worked . This is the tr ^ p that they hsve hid for you , but I have not any fear that jau wilt be caught in it . You know , by painful experience , that wa . ? es do net depend on the hours of work , but that they depend on tbe demand for lab > ur . You know , that if your master * can , by emplojing ten bands with an Eleven Hours '

      Bill , do as much work as it would require » ler < n hands to do undern Ten Hours' Bill , the demaud for your labour would b « less , ani that jour wages could not b sustained . You know that y .-ur wageo were reduced vdh'U you were workim * twelve hours , before tbe Eleven Hourt' Claussin the Factory Act came into operation ; and you know that they have been more recently and more generally reduced since the Eleven Hours'Clause has bc « n in force . This plainly shows you that yonr la haw was not required ,- that an advantage was taken of the opportunity , and your wages w < n reduced , And now . forsooth , when then . ' is som * appearance of jour labour b : coming mora valuable , these associated bole and comer gentlemen , with unblushing and indicenteffi'ou tery , set to work to compel you to petition for a Repeal of the Ten Hours' Bill , and thereby prevent f <> r a longer P 'riod " , that rise in wages of which you stand so much in need .

      Be ' not deceived by them . Le . tteach , one and all , of you refuse oithcr to -use p . 'n , ink , or paper , t > sign your masters , or any other petition Cora repeal of the Ten Hourt , ' Cluuse . Tell ttum that you will hold to the law ; and if you arc dismissed for doing no , the public will support y u . If you do this with firmness , you will be safe , the Ten Hours' Bill will be safe , and no one will have tfcp hardihood to ask for leave to brin ? in a bill into the House of Commons to repeal it . But if you V > e timid and submissive , your masters may triumph , and rivet the chains of slavery on you and your children for generati-ns to come .

      These associated mlllowners might seem to think that there had boen no public mind created on this subj-ct . Hare they forjotten the numberless petitions that have b-en presented in support of the Ten Hours'Bill ? If they have forgotten them , and dare venture to introduce a bill into the House of Commons to npeal the Ttn Hours . ' Clause , I promise you and them that that public which supported you in obtaining the Tea Hours' Bill , shall , if you be firm , give you their suppjrt again . But I am anxious to save you and tbe public thetrouble , the loss of time , and tbe expense of agitation , and I therefore , again ur , ; c on you , one und all , not to sign one single petition for tin repeal of the Ten Hours' Bill . Should any of you , from fear of offendingy < ojr tmploycr , have already signed such a petition , go to him and Fay that you withdraw your Hume .

      Is not a lack of wisdom on tbe part of these bidden associators quite as conspicuous a » is their disposition to enslave tbe women and children to support them ! Do they not know that their oracle , Mr Cobden , said at Stockport , on Friday last , that they , the manufacturers , 'had been suffering in the cotton districts , quite as much from n f imine in cotton n « in corn during the last year ; and if corn wcro ever so clioap , mid if the demand for cotton goods were ever so great , tliey could not have employment ' , their mills and machinery could net go , if there was not cotton to keep the mills employed . ' A pretty bard bit , this , at the long hour men , c . njiderln ^ the quarter from whence it came . Have not your body , too , through your Short Time Committees , bten importuning tbo masters'to closo their works far a month , in order to prevent a rise in the price of cotton , and in order to prevent a reduction in the rate ef wapes , but without success ^ although the Free Trade press lauded y « u for your patient endurance of severe privations ,

      and for maniftating so sound a view of what ouxht to bo done . Would the famine in cotion be ovirifthese men were allowed to have their way % Certainly not , fur no one believes them when they allege , in their form of petition which tbey wish you to sign , ' Jhat both the employers and tbu operatives would take ' a limitation of eleven hours , as a final settlement of the question . When dH they say this before 1 They are gifted with short roe . mories , sttd mteht appear to have forgotten that when th » Ttn Hours' Bill was passing through tbe C . mtnons , a deputation from their body presented a most audacious protest to the first Minister of the Crown tip dim any alteration of the Twelve Hours' Bi 1 , and said in their protest tbat thpy would throw the whole reepiinsibilitj on hor Majesty ' s advisers , if they suffered any reduction of hours to be conceded by the legislature ! Depend upon it , their aim , in the first instanc ? , is to get you , bj petitions , to reopen tbe question ; and their aim nil ! then be to get a repeal of the whole bill , and drive you back to twelve hours .

      How stand the facts , then , as to this cotton famine V In tbe year 1817 , the mills on the avenge have not worked eight hours par day , and the consumption ot cottos has been only about 20 . 000 bales per week , against upwards ol 30 , 000 bales per week in each of the . years 1845 and 18 i 6 , when twelve hours were worked ; and the stock In Liverpool , as' reported on Saturday la » t , was onlj 3 CC 060 bales against 420 , 310 bales in tbe corresponding week iu 1810 ; that . is , 51 , 050 bales hss on Satutday last and itcannot be disproved , that the increase of mills and machinery , since 1 S 44 , has been so great , that were tbs \ nil brought into full action , more cotton would be consumedtol 848 , the factories only working tenhoursa day than there was consumed in 1845 , or in 1846 , when tw . lvr hours were worked . Let these wiseacres , then , show , if they can , that th « cotton famine would not be « perienced next year , if they could succeed in obtaining a repeal of tho Ten Hour , ' Bill , and that tbey , as well a « you , would not be great sufferers by working either clc ven or twelve hours ptr day .

      Be resolved , then , in order to save your masters as well as yourselves , not to petition for a rfpeal of tho Tin Hours' Clause . I am , factory workers , With respect for you all , Your faithful friend and servant , Centre-vale , Todtnor ten , John FieldjX 14 th December , 1847 .

      : FREE TRADE IN BOLTON . The Power Loom Weavers of Bolton ( whom Ve Bowring , the M . P ; , for that town , says he repre sents . ' ) have issued a lengthy address Irom which we ijivo the following , extracts : — 'Inhabitants of Bilton ! are the ¦ triumphs of Pre & Trad * , one « so leudly vaunted ; to end in a result so i gnoble ? Is the downfall of monopoly , then , to be attended with tbo deeper degradation of tbe producers of wealth ! Is the advent of commetcial froidom to beheralded by renewed and redoubled iniarics on the

      Uhourers ! Has frordom of trade , indeed , rendered the artisan unable to maintain even the questionable independence and doubtful comfort cf his past position ) Ha * it armed tho employe is with power to itflict a new and capricious , because uncalled for injury ? Havo our fiscal fitters been removed , only that we may be bound with a heav ' er chain ! Has the loaf been untaxed only that wa maybe subjected to a huavier impost ? And has tbfr power of the aristocracy been overthrown that we may jubmit to tho diublo-thenged scourge of commercial des potism ?

      ' Inhnbitsnts of Bdton ! tho promises of ' highjwage 6 > cheap tr ^ ad , and plenty to do , ' made by the advocates and supporters of 'the Leajjue , are still-fresh in yonr memory . They alio promised that if the working classes would but assist them ; that they fn return vould join will * them , tbe woiking classes , for the attainment of the Suffrage , the Ten Hours' Bill , & c But how have these promises been fulfilled ? Instead of suppotting , they opposed the Ten Hotr , ' Bill , by evtry means , both fair and foul , in their power ; end even now they are getting up petitions for its repeal , by means which show that they are anything tut philanthropists . On the establishment of commercial freedom we were to be secured ngaifutfutoi'd reductions ; moderate labour was to bo

      rewarded by abundance ; the destruction of monopoly was to bo the destruction of every form of eppressitn independence and comfort were to be the common lot ;; but how miserably we are disappointed . ' Yuu heard the promises—you see the result . The period of commercial depression is nearly past , and the wcrU of oppression l » already begun . The conil . inatiot , of the aristocracy h « s » becntrjken ; but is aucooided by s combination rf ma . nufactur . rs . Tho tax has been taken from cur loaf , bnt a heavier tax is to be put upon our' labour . Commerce-Is nil but freo , but labour still finds an inexorable enemy . The advocates of Free Trade are foremost in proposing : ta take from us a large portion morj of the Jittie we have left .

      * These lines are written morain sorrow ' . ban In suffer The character of the advocates of Free Trade U deeply involved iu this question of reduction ; it is an act porf .-ctly uncalled for ; acd it is an act which even necessity would scarcely justify . Therefore , they ought to ralsft their voices against it ; they ought to have been tbe first to' expesa its wistence and denounce its olj-cts . They may at some future period require the assistance of the working claseos ; but if they do not abandon their pre * JontcourAe they will fiad , instead of support , their stern opposition , B y « rdtr of the Committee of the Powt r . loom Weavers ' Association , ' LordCiIIingwood , Bolton , Dvr .

That portion which professes to state proceedings that took place at the London branch is an ontirc misrspressntatiiin , for I did not reed two or three columns of tha JUnchesteb Examines , nor did any pir . ion attempt to reply to what I said . The fasts being thuso : —After tbe appeal from the Executive Cauncil , and tbe defence from the Alanchester Fourth Branch , bad been read , a member requested to read tho

      letter of Mr O'Connor , in that week ' * ST 4 B , this before any peison had spoken upon thu subject , and before I r , a 1 anything from : ny public journal whatever , I objeated to reu-ive any extraneous communication as a communication ; but any members who were desirous of speaking in favour of Manchester Fourth Branch could quote from , any paper to confirm the arguments they used . This was done , and this 1 did when I spoke by quoting three paragraphs fcm the Manchester Exi » mikeb , til of which nre not half a column . Aftir I bad done * o no person rose to read anything , nor did any person attempt to reply to what I had raid . Your correspondent Kill no doubt tee that he has been led into error hy paying ' attention to ' what persons

      sny without taking the trouble to ascertain the facts of the case . If auch necessary precaution had been taken , his trouble of writing had been saved ; yonr trouble , and , I may say , annoyance at printing personal statements oniy to insert their contradiction , . would have been saved . I may not occupy your columns with-noswering tho rest of D . Morrison ' s letter , but . I ma ; bo allowed to remark that so much abuse indicates a want of argu . ment . Our members are 'ignorant ' ; ' our officers are 'ignorant ; ' all ate 'ignorant , ' but your correspondent . It is the concluding word of almost every sentense .

But we were quite unpropared for tho extraordinary delugo which manifested itself in the valley of the lowy during the whole of Friday , Saturday , and bunday last . In crmfcqne co ef tho heavy rains the various mountain streams had becorna swollen and tni ' sid , and rushing down with great impetuosity speedily catuing the placid strenms of tho vallev to assume . 1 similar appearance , and to burst their banks n every direction . The prospect trora Carmarthenbridge ! on Saturday last was trnlv butawfollvcrand .

      A . vast sheet of anjry rushing water spread itself out far beyond tho ken of human eve , leaving tho village 'if Aliergwilly , with the Bishop of St David ' s palace , standing prominently out from the centre of the liquid plain . Tho various roads on the southern side of the I owy and m close proximity to the river were almost : mpassab ! c , the water havinjr covered them to theextent of eijjht or ten feet . Boats were plying upon the Pensarn and Tyllwyd roads , being continually in active requisition to convt-y the farming population 10 enr market . In one instance , a magistrate for the county was compelled to desert his comfortable car-Mace , and to cr . 89 tho water in tbe old-fashioned Welch coracle , made of willows covered with tarpawl . tng .
