PARR'S LIFE PILLS . READ the following letter from Mr . W . Alexander , Bookseller , Yarmouth : — Great Yarmouth , March 27 , 1845 , Gentlemen , —Being recently at Norwich , I called upon a gentleman at bis request . He said , having seen your name in a newspaper as an agent for the sale of PARR'S PILLS , and also letters addressed to you testifying their efficacy in the cure of various complaints , I resolved to try them . I had been very unwell for two or three years , my stomach much out of order , and I constantly felt a painful difficulty in breathing ; Iemployed two medical gentlemen , and took a great quantity of medicine , but derived no benefit ; on the contrary , I found myself daily declining aud getting weaker , so that I could scarcely walk from one street to another ; indeed I was in a melancholy desponding state . Accordingly , I purchased a box , and took them as directed . At the end of a week I was much better , having taken , I think , only eighteen pills ; consequently , I continued taking them regularly , and when I had taken two boxes and a half , I became quite well , and to this day I have enjoyed life , having now good health and good spirits . If , however , I feel any slight indisposition , I have recourse to the medicine I have so much reason to prize , which restores me to my usual good health .

To Feargcs O'Connor, Esq. Old Brompton, ...
TO FEARGCS O'CONNOR , ESQ . Old Brompton , May 21 st , 1845 . Sm , —In your letter of the 3 rd inst ., you have nobly vindicated the purity of your motives in the long and arduous struggle you have maintained against the open enemies of liberty , and the more dangerous machinations of professing friends ; and it needs but little confirmation of mine to convince the country of the villanous nature of the calumnies contained iu Ashton ' s letter of the 30 th March—the assinine ribaldry of Mosley—the Jesuitical insinuation of the parson (?)—or the insane and stupid ravings of poor O'Brien : and , therefore , I shall say little on the subject , in so far as you are personally concerned , lestlshouldbemistakenforan " apologist" or "defender " ofFcargus O'Connor ; when it is evident to every man .
that he needs not the first ; and his enemies have not to learn that ho can defend himself at all times , and iu any place . There are , however , two or three points in your letter of the 3 rd inst . which require a few observations ; and I take the liberty of publicly referring to them , trusting to your candour and generosity for a full and satisfactory explanation . And , first : as to the deputation from the second Convention wliicli waited upon you at the Tavistock Hotel . Having had the honour of being a member of the second Convention , I , in common with my brethren constituting that body , were much annoyed at being deprived of the benefit of your counsel and advice at so critical a juncture ; and knowing that you were in . trusted with the confidence of a large and important constituency , we deemed your absence a breach of that
confidence , and consequently deputed two of our members to learn your reasons , to ask your pecuniary aid in case it might bo required , and to consult you on the general bearing and probability of the whole case : but the third proposition named by you formed no part of ths instructions to the deputation ; and if , in this particular , they exceeded their commission , the Convention was not cognisant of it , and therefore cannot be held responsible ; although , from the then excited state of the public mind , and the reckless disregard of such feeling or its conse . quences , by the dastard Whigs , it is not at all improbable that it may have been the wish of their constituents : for there were thousands then , and even now , who do not share your liberality of feeling on behalf of the tools or emissaries of a tyrannical and treacherous Government . I freely confess myself to be of this number , and hold ,
that the slave who would hire himself to entrap his fellow man into a position by wluch his life maybe taken , deserves a thousand deaths , if it were possible ; aud the tools , by which the victims are immolated , oughttobe con . r idered as parliceps onmiiiis , and treated accordingly . But whilst this is my opinion—an opinion imbibed ou witnessing the murder and mutilation of that good and benevolent man , Mr . Wilson , at Glasgow , by the spies aud tools of Castlercagh and Co ., some twenty-five years ago , and freely and fearlessly expressed in public and in private through the whole course of the present agitation , it is a very different thing to become a party to any suchproposition as you state to have been made to you at the Tavistock Hotel : and I trust I have said enough to convincc you , and my brethren generally , that the Couven . tion , as such , did not insult you by instructing thcdcpu « tation to propose it .
The second point to which I would direct your atteu . tion is , your reason for not attending the sittings of the Convention : and here , sir , I must be allowed to say , that no other reason save that given by the deputation could have excused you . In their report fnotflt a secret meeting , or Ashton would nothave been there—noh in Southwark , for the Convention never once met there ! ! 1 the deputation , stated , that your attention to the case of Frost and his co-patriots occupied your whole time ; and the Convention being perfectly satisfied with such explanation , you was
not further importuned on the subject . But as to your saying , that in that Convention " There were many men there who had deserted Frost in his need "—that Is a very grave charge indeed : one to which I will not plead guilty , even by implication . Aud I now offer my humble vindication of the other members from this , not over " soft impeachment-, " and also to submit , that had sucb been the case , it would have been more imperatively your duty to have denounced the recreants , and cautioned the honest portion , if any , against being compromised by their association .
I beg leave in conclusion to make a remark or two on the subject which has induced me to write this letter ; the more especially as it bears on the alleged sayings and doings of the Frost Convention , You are aware that the Newport affair , and the arrest of Frost came upon the country like a thunder * clap ; and it was the almost universal opinion that soma foul play had been resorted to , to get that good man into the fangs of the Whig Vultures ; and , as a matter of course , that the same means would be employed to com . plcte their bloody work : consequently the brave lads in various parts of the kingdom , being resolved to watch the proceedings with the view of taking advantage of any circumstance that might transpire in favour of the ac « cused , sent delegates to London , to form , in conjunction
with the democrats of the metropolis , a committee of observation for that purpose ; Major Beniowsky being deputed by the men of the Tower Hamlets , the chief abode of persecuted democracy at that time ; aud I by my brethren of Surrey—our whole and sole business being to collect the best information , apply it in the best manner we could , and transmit the result from time to time to our constituents ; all which having done to the extent of our ability , and to the entire satisfaction of those who sent us , there needed no minutes , and there were none : and so I suppose William Ashton was disappointed . Beit so . So may it ever be with those who worm themselves into the sympathies of their brethren to betray them ! Now for the alleged " secret meetings . " The place of meeting was at the Arundel Coffee-house ,
opposite the Crown and Anchor Tavern , in the Strand ; one of the most conspicuous situations in London . The hours of meeting were from nine in the moming till four in the afternoon . All persons were freely admitted—and among the rest Mr . William Ashton . There was no srcrest there ! But there were scamps , disguised in decent apparel , who occasionally paid us a friendly visit , a to Ashton ; and who might perhaps have made a more un . mediate use of the many flying reports that were freely circulated at the time , and applied them to the prejudice of our fair fame—consequently , wc had a good right to be as cautious as possible ; and there could be no great harm In treating such vague rumours ill OUV OWU Way ! But when Mr . William Ashton says that the money given
by Mr . O'Connor to take the country delegates home was to be applied to any other purpose , lie says what he knows to be untrue : for he was present when it was apportioned according to the distance they had to travel : and great , was his disappointment at not having received a portion of it himself . ' My answer to his appeal to me was , that as neither the Major nor myself had any of it , wc could not properly interfere . It was at this very time , and in his presence , that it was agreed that some one should be sent to acquaint Mr . O'Connor with the nature of the reports from the country—over which we had no control—in order that lie might take his own measures , aud guard against the consequences : and having done these things we considered our mission fulfilled , and separated accordingly .
It is a curious fact , but nevertheless worthy of obscr . • vation , that the enemy is reduced to the necessity of at . I . tacking us with our worn-out weapons . But it is at the te same time consolatory to know that they either over-shoot , t , or fall short of the mark ; and after a random shot or ) t two they arc shattered to pieces , and become perfectly ly innocuous . Therefore , in taking my leave of those gen-itleinen , I wish—more iu sorrow than in anger—I could . d say , "de mortal ' s nil nisi oonum ; " but as rotten carcase * n whilst above ground will often be offensive , wc may be )« allowed in common parlance to say they stint . I am , honoured Sir , your very obedient servant , Henei Ros ? . i
[ Mr Dear Ross—Insertion is given to the major por-ortiou of your letter -with pleasure , and I receive iny portionion of your castigaticn with thanks . Tlio only obscrvatiouiou that I shall make in relation to the matter is , that thethei times of which your letter treats were indeed trying andmd ! dangerous , aud tlic manner in which I had been treatedted by many of the actors in them justified me in being nioreore . than ordinarily suspicious . 1 do not for one uiomententi pretend to deny that in my suspicions 1 did not do injuajua .. tice to some of those with whom I was brought in contactact Indeed the devotedness to principle evinced by them has haii long since convinced me that such was the fact , and I havaavii not been slow in making all the reparation in my powerwer : shewing them that they had wou and possessed my conconi fidence to the full : whilst the " dangerous machinatiotisions
towards myself by those whom you aptly denoiniuatiuat ; " professing friends , " show but too clearly that I wa wai more than justified in endeavouring to protect myself froifron the evil consequences of their treachery aud villan ; lan ; j You will see that oue portion of your letter is withhcM-cldthat requiring an explanation from me with reference \ ce ll a friend of yours , a member of the second Convcntiootioii When my letter of the 3 rd was written and in the prh prin tor ' s hands , I happened to see you , and had a convcrsauejaiio ) with you relative to the transactions detailed in that , wit wn letter . Amongst other things , the conduct of jour frleifcieii canvassed , and I freely owned to you that your represeresej tations , founded on actual knowledge , had disabused ned ir mind of an error it had entertained , to the prejudice dice the gentleman in question . When the proof-sheet of i of n
letter was furnished , I caused an alteration to . be made » adei the part affecting the said gentleman , by changing Hug tl word " assassin" to " assassins , " so that the phraseolcseolcc might not he held to apply to your friend , as you had cad ct vinced me it ought not to be , and that there was sois so » mistake hi the information formerly communicated atedi mo . That alteration , though marked in the " pro ( pro « was not made in the " type , " which I much regret , ffet , w has given you and your friend cause of complaint , wM « wM « I did not intend . However , if it is any sa tisfactionctiom you or to Major Beniowsky to know that I really was fcvas H judiced against him , and very much so too , but that ; hat j ; have removed that prejudice , I cheerfully make ake admission , Yours , dear Hoss , very faithfully , Feasodi 0 'Cokko * . * ko * ..
