CURES TOR THE TjNCUllED ! HOLL OWAT'S OINTMENT . Jn Extraordinary Cure of Scrofula , or Sing ' s * Evil . Extract ofaletter from Mr . S . H . Alliday , 209 High-street , Cheltenham , dated January 22 nd , 1850 . Sm , —My eldest son , when about three years of age ,. Was afflicted with a glandular swelling in the neck , which 1 altera short time broke out into an ulcer . An eminent < medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula , \ i and preserved for a considerable time without effect . The i disease then for years went oa gradually increasing in : ' virulence , when besides the ulcer in the neck , another i formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , be- 1 sides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes which was expected to break . During the whole of i the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice ' of the most celebrated medical gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months atthe General Hospital 1 where one ofthe surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , bnt that the Wood was so impure , that if that limb were taken off it would be tben even impossi- ' ble to subdue the disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your pills and ointment a trial , and after two months pa severance in their use , the tumour bfgan perceptibly to disappear , and the discharge from all the ulcers gradually decreased , and at the expiration of i eight months they were perfectly healed , and the boy ] thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances who could 1 testify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years , i have now elapsed without any recurrence of the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wish . Under i these circumstances I consider that I should be truly ungrateful were I not to make you acquainted witb this wonderful cure , effected by your medicines after every other means bad felled . —[ isigne & y—3 . 1 L Aiijdat . —To Professor Hoi __ yj _ 7 .

Sib , —It is with the greatest pleasure that I write to thank you for the benefit I have received from your pills and ointment which have completely cured me of the rheumatism , under which I suffered for the last four years , at times I was so bad as hardly to be able to walk ; J had tried every kiud of medicine that was recommended without receiving any being . I at last thought I would give your medicine a trial , and purchased from Mr . Hollin , ' , chemist , of this town , two boses of pills , and two of ointment , and in three weeks , through them and the blessings of God , I was restored to health and strength , and am now as well able to walk as ever I was in my life . I am well known in this parish , having been sixty-five years in it , with the exception often years I served in the 24 th regi : ment of foot—( SignedJ—John Prrr . —To Professor Hoixowway . Cure of a Had Leg of more than Sixty TearsStandiiig . Mr . Barker , of No . 5 , Graliara * s-p 7 ace , Drypool , near Hull , had ulcers on bis leg from the age of eighteen until I upwards of eighty , and although for many years he had I sought the first advise in tlie country , nothing was found to cure them . He very often suffered most excruciating pain for long periods together , which incapacitated him from attending to bis business . He bad given up all hopes of gettin ; a cure , when at hist be was persuaded to try Hofiowa \ ' s Pills and Ointment ,. which he did , and bowever wonderful it may appear , the leg was thoroghly healed by their means , and by continuing to use the Pills alone after Ids leg was well , lie has become in health so hale and hearty as now to be more active than most men of fifty . — _ J B —The truth of this extraordinary statement can be vouched for by Mr .

A Free Press. In Proceeding With The Con...
A FREE PRESS . In proceeding with the consideration of the measures that ought to be passed by a People ' s Parliament , we come next to a Free Press as the natural and appropriate compliment to the system of National . Education , outlined in our last article upon this subject . Tho spirit of Protestantism , and the defence by John Milton of "the liberty of unlicensed printing , " prevented the introduction into this country of the continental censorship ; but different administrations , from the time of Queen Anne , have sought to attain , and , to a serious extent , have succeeded in attaining the
object of a censorship — ' that of restricting the rights of political discussion to a favoured class , by the indirect medium of official burdens and restrictions . A stamp duty on newspapers was first imposed in 1712 by the 10 Anne c . 19 . The amount was a halfpenny on a half sheet ; a penny , if not exceeding a whole sheet . The mischievous and repressive effect of the tax was immediately made evident by its extinguishing the S pectator of Addison and Steele , at that time decidedly the best publication issued by the Press . The worst portions ofthe laws , passed with the
view of indirectly restricting the diffusion of political information , still remain on the statute book , having been re-enacted in 1836 , with additional penal clauses of great severity . That measure was one nominally for the reduction of tho newspaper stamp duty to a net sum of Id . from 4 d ., with a discount of twenty per cent , off , to which it had risen from the time of Anne . But it had become impossible to collect a higher duty , and it was admitted at the time by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer ( Mr . Spring Rice , now Lord Monteagle ) , that the sale of unstamped journals , published in defiance of the law , had extended to 200 , 000 weekly . These were all sacrificed to the interests of the stamped Press by the G and 7 Will . IV . c . 7 G , which gave the most severe and summary powers of suppression , and , in point of fact , renders it impossible for any unstamped periodical to exist when the Stamp Office may choose to set in motion the despotic powers with which it is invested .
The penny stamp is equivalent to a formal prohibition of newspapers of the class which exist in the islands of Guernsey and Jersey , at the price of one penny , three-halfpence , and twopence . In those islands , as in the United States , there are few families without a newspaper at home . In Great Britain and Ireland it is only by frequenting a public-house —and not always then—that a poor man can read the report of a trial by jury . He must obey the laws without discussing them , or learning the nature of their operation . The privilege of postage conferred by the stamp would be a fair consideration for the penny , if the stamp
were optional ; but as the stamp must be paid—whether postage be required or not—the postage privilege becomes a benefit to a few only of the London journals , and amounts therefore to another newspaper restriction , as affecting the diffusion of intelligence of local interest . The competition of the leading London journals , delivered by Government carriage free , so aggravates the mischief of the stamp in the case of the Provincial Press , that a local dail y paper cannot be maintained even in such towns as Manchester , Liverpool , and Glasgow . These vari and wealthy emporiums of manufactures and commerce are deprived of any advantages pos-

sessed by the youngest and smallest towns m the United States . The effect of the existing Press Laws 5 s , in short , to give a practical monopoly in the diffusion of intelligence to a few capitalists —proprietors of London dail y journals , too often interested in its distortion , and to suppress the natural safet y valve of popular discontent ; in
consequence ot which those in power are continually . misled , as to the state of the public mind . A d «; vily newspaper , speaking of the feelings of the working classes , representing their interests , advocating their views , and correcting the misrepresentations and calumnies heaped upon them by the Capitalist Press , does not at present exist , and never can exist in this country under the present state of the law .
It is scarcely possible to estimate all the evils attributable to this source . By deceiving the Administration and the Legislature as to the real state of public feeling , it produces in their minds a feeling of false security—causes ai fatal postponement of needful Reforms , and becomes thus the proximate cause of violent and sanguinary Revolutions . Nothing contributed so much to the sudden overthrow of the throne of Louis . Philippe as the severe censorship , which , in fact , muzzled the press , and prevented the utterance of public opinion . The Revolution of 1848 , not only
in France , but throughout Germany and Italy , gave birth to a free unstamped press , and the avidity with which the people everywhere availed themselves of it , showed how earnestly they hungered and thirsted after the information and the mental stimula thus provided . To the honour of the Revolutionary Governments , they gave unlimited and unlicensed power to all parties to publish and maintain their own opinions in any manner they ! thought proper . They were not afraid to let truth arid' falsehood grapple , for they had the faith of glorious John Milton—that
truth could never be put to flight in a free and open encounter . The reactionary party , as soon as they regained their supremacy , reverted to the old repressive system . The press was again placed under vigorous supervision , prosecutions , fines and imprisonment , or summary suppression by armed force , have been resorted to everywhere on the Continent , as the means of propping up Governments hated by the people . The press is more shackled now than at any former period . . If any one lesson can be more clearly deduced from the experience of the past than
another , it is , that all such violent and arbitrary measures must fail . In due time popular discontent , thus forcibly pent up , will burst forth in a destructive explosion , scattering on all sides the wrecks of institutions opposed to the natural instincts , and the inalienable rights of humanity . The verybest and most effective instrument of good government , is a thoroughly Free Press . Its influence is of the most salutary kind in producing a reading and an orderly population . Besides this , it provides the proper medium for the peaceable solution of the great social and political questions which are now
agitating the minds ofthe millions . In the United States , the leading men of all parties feel that Education , and a Free Press , are the two great guarantees for the successful working of Democratic institutions . An ignorant democracy would be a terrible power to deal with . As the people are certain to achieve their rightful sovereignty in the future , it will be wise in Governments and Legislatures to provide , betimes , for their proper education , and the means by which , at all times , public opinion may be expressed without let or hindrance . Newspapers are less expensive and less mischievous revolutionises than barricades
and muskets . A People ' s Parliament , elected by , and responsible to , the whole people , would have no interest in stifling public opinion . It is only when despots or oligarchies usurp supreme power , and assume to make their whims , caprices , or fancied interests the standard by which society is to be regulated—the objects to promote which it primarily exists—that there can be any objection to a Free Press . A People ' s Parliament would abolish the newspaper stamp duty , and the duty on
advertisements . It would remove all the restrictions now imposed on newspapers , to prevent an evasion of those duties , and it would enact such improved laws of newspaper copyright and responsibility , as would tend to raise the character of the Press , while extending its influence . By such measures , a really Free Press would be enjoyed by the nation , which would perform , simultaneously , the two important functions of creating a sound and enlightened public opinion , and of reflecting , accurately and faithfully , that opinion , iu all its phases .
Irish Agitation. It Was Thought By Some ...
IRISH AGITATION . It was thought by some people that the fire of agitation which , from time to time , for many years has blazed so fiercely iu Ireland , had burnt itself out . That tribune of the people— O'Conneu—who used to gather them together by thousands on their native hills , and pointing to their mountains and valleys , rivers and plains , tell them , that that glorious land ought to be their own , while Celtic tongues responded with the shouts of " Repeal , " and
" Ireland for the Irish , " has " g one down to his fathers , " and the mantle which he wore has not fallen to any of his descendants . The Smith O'Briejts and Mitchells of a later day , are prisoners in that vast prison housethe Australian continent ; and Orangemen and Ribbondmen are pressed down by the strong hand ofthe law . Famine aud pestilence , too , have swept with the wings of the destroying angel over the ill-fated isle . Thousands of the boldest hearts and strongest arms of Ireland , despairing of peace in that abode of horrors , have fled from the star of the west , to that great community in the farthest west , which is spreading abroad its vast arms over the best half of the world , and are there adding
their own sense of wrong , and there avow thirst for vengeance to that flood tide of dislike for England , and jealousy and hatred of her power , which pervades every current © f feeling , manifested by our Anglo-Saxon cousins across the Atlantic ; and those who are left behind , hunted from their homes by the tools of landlordism , the roof tree pulled down almost as soon as they have left its shadow , nestling upon the ruins of their own hearths—dying in ditches by the roadsidepent up in the overcrowded workhouses of bankrupt unions , and rotting in their fever wards ; this broken , stricken , despairing , outcast , beggared remnant , did not seem to have nerve and sinew enough in them to join in a fresh agitation .
But out of misery and uttermost degradation the wailing cry for help breaks forth in tones of misery , till it is taken up by others than those of the mere peasant class , and , for almost the first time in the history of Ireland , Irishmen seem to have consented to sink their party feuds , to bury their local animosities , and to forego their religious discords , for the purpose of making one great effort to
redeem their native country . It is out of the misery and wretchedness of the people of Ireland that that Tenant-right League , which promises to become so powerful , has arisen and the union of Roman Catholic priests and Presbyterian , clergymen , which lends to it so much of power and importance , shows how strong the motives must be , which have sufficed to bring together in even the appearance of amity , those who have hitherto been a W as irreconcileable as fire and water
And this same union which serves to mark the strong impulses at work , goes far to ensure the success of the League . In Ireland , no great movement can succeed without the
help of the prieste . The insurrection of BalJaT ingarry , so easily pnt down b y a few p 0 IiCeCe men , might have been , nay , would have been V a bloody , if not a successful , revolution andndl SmitHO'Brien have been aomewhat bes ideales f a convicted felon , had not the priests arrive d ed with spiritual terrors , and alarmed by the be Pro-estant and freethinking opinions of som ae of the most influential among the leaders s held back the people from the standard 0 . of revolt ; but now , the pastors are the first in in the field , and aU the vast machinery of reli gion > n wiU be put in motion , to urge the people on to to destroy one of the institutions ofthe country , jr . Only those who know the Irish mind inti-imately , can understand the power religion has is
over the impulsive devotees who kneel—at Ca-1-tholie altars . It is not , as with the colder ) r Protestant , a mere seventh-day matter , it en-1-ters into their lives , and becomes a part of if their politics ; and their pastors , disowned by y Government , and treated comtemptuonsl y by jr the clergy of an establishment , which has no J hold , even upon the respect , much less the 3 affections , ofthe people become to them as the J veritable ministers of the Almighty ; and t when . they raise the banner , are followed as i implicitly and as devoutly as ever Mahomet ; was by those who were in search of a paradise , peopled with the black eyed houris of Orientalfable ,
If the priests are in earnest , then they can give to the Tenant-Right League a power , which no government , however averse , can afford to disregard ; and we may make sure that , in this instance at least , they have their hearts in the work . As men they could not have been indifferent to the scenes of oppression and tyranny under which their country , men were daily suffering , Their hearts must have been as callous as the rocks which form their mountains , if they had not bled at the scenes of distress which have never been absent
from their eyes . They could not have stood at the bedside—bedside did we say ?—we mean by the heap of dirty , mouldering straw , upon which some famine-stricken wretch , or some victim of man-bred fever and pestilence was breathing his last , while wife and children stood round , with grief rendering yet more haggard their hunger-wasted faces and shrunken limbs , without a deep curse bursting out of their human nature , at the system which worked , or permitted such atrocities ; and they could , not have looked around upon that land , among the most fertile of all the lands of the earth—a land capable of supporting ten times the present number of its
inhatants in plenty and happiness—they could not have seen drove after drove of fatted beasts , and ship load upon ship load of golden grain , sent from the very charnel house of famine to the abode of comparative p lenty , so that the insatiate cry for " rent ! rent ! " might be satisfied , and the gaping jaws of monevmongers , and usurers , and such vile creatures as fatten and swell upon the misery and downfall ofthe workers , without feeling that landlordism had squandered its resources in debauchery ; and at the last gasp of its profligate and reckless existence was seeking to prolong it's life , by sucking the very heart ' s blood of the despairing workers .
The priests must have been either more or less than men , if they could have seen this and borne it tamely ; and besides , the very existence of their order was at stake , and they could not afford to stand b y passive spectators . The Protestant clergyman , belonging to a church richly endowed bylaws , can do without a congregation . Perhaps , indeed , sure of their pay , the less souls there are for them to shrive , the better they are pleased . They can manage to get on without being disturbed from their port wine after dinner , or their snug bed
at night , to ride over miles of mountain or bog , to comfort the last hours of a dying sin « ner , but the Catholic priest is in a very different position . The existence of a peasantry is to him a necessity . He must have a flock . The voluntary , or semi-voluntary offerings , upon which he exists , come , for the most part , from among the poorest in the land . Every cabin levelled to the ground by a remorseless middleman of a remorseless landlord—every small farmer ' s crop seized , or cows driven for arrears , substracts something from his income —and every death or emigration diminishes his congregation . The temporal as well as the spiritual condition of the people , is bound
up with his own self-interest , and putting out of sight that even the very blackest hearted and most callous of men could not live among an affectionate peasantry in the same way as the Roman Catholic pastor lives among his flock , without , to some extent , sharing in their joys , sympathising with their troubles , and being touched by their miseries , we see sufficient of mere worldly reasons , to account for the priests sinking , for the time , their old religious bitterness , and joining with the "blacknorth " in a bold struggle for the attainment of tenant right for all Ireland , heralded in by the vast meeting at Enniscarthy , mentioned at greater length in another part of our columns .
Of course , landlordism , both here and in Ireland , shrieks out its universal affright at the idea of an attempt to interpose between the lords ofthe soil , and the slaves who till it . They regard it as an impious interference with the most sacred of rights , that those who , through long centuries , have abused the usurpation , dignified by the legal name of a constitutional trust , so as to make it the means of subserving their own indolence and debauchery , and inflicting ruiu , expatriation , and death , upon hundreds of thousands—whose crimes ,
or errors , or both , have been the means of wrecking the happiness of a warm-hearted people , and desolating one of the loveliest of God ' s creations—should not be called to au account for their past miscalled stewardship , but be prevented from making of it , in the future ,- such a Moloch as it has been in the past . Their outcries reach even up to the heavens which have so long looked down upon their misdeeds . Forgetting the wrongs of property ,
they appeal to its rights ; and ask , who dare to meddle with them as clamorous as foul birds of prey , scared in affright from the carcase upon which they have been battening . And well may peasant landlordism , in trembling horror , clamour thus , and be afraid ; for the day if not of retribution , of reckoning , is coming to them and theirs , and that quicklyi The eyes of reformers of all countries , as well as of Ireland , are turning to the land as the
only means of securing the temporal salvation of the people . They feel that without a right to plant his foot upon the soil , man is but an alien in tho land of his birth ; that without some right to draw from the bosom of the universal mother the necessaries of existence , he is but an outcast in the world . They feel that if the land is to be held any longer by a privileged aristocracy , that aristocracy must hold it as a trust , and not by any divine right in disguise—in trust for the good of tho whole people , and not as a means of making them
paupers and slaves ; and that the agitati on for Tenant Ri ght in Ireland , where the trust has been overmuch abused—to England , where it has been abused more than enough—will be as certain as the progress of an epidemic , which , propelled by natural laws , roves resistlessl y from east to west , and no man stay ing its march , In fact , this Tenant Right , giving the people some sort of bold upon the eavtb i rests upon a wider basis than a mere Irish agitation which is but a sign heralding the advent of Justice to the nations of the earth ; and before that cry the demon of class desdotism first holds his breath in terror , and then
stuns us with his outnes . 1 The landlords and their organs wish to mow why the law is to be invoked to regulate tben bargains with their tenants , any » mw JKJJ any other sort of commercial bargains 5 *¦ tenant , " they say , " is free either to takf *^ land or let it alone : why . , & en , shou ld w »
