Th .

Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment was introduced to the Public by the desire of many who had been perfectly healed by its application , and since its introduction , the fame of tins ointment has spread far and wide ; even the - _judical Prof-SEkm , always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any Medicine not prepared by them-_ 9 . ves , donowfreelvandfranklv admit thai Abernethy ' s Pi . e Ointment , is not only a valuable preparation , but a _Tiever-fai-uig r . medy in every st _' age and variety of that appalling malady . _Suffrers from the Piles will not repsnt giving the Ointment a trial .

ARE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD . This medicine has b _» en 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 his i-edic _' ne were at once acknowledged whersver tried , and recommendation followed recommendation ; hundreds hadsoon toacknowledge that Pae _'» Life Pills had _ESred them , and were loud in theirpraise . The startling acts that were coatimiall y brought before tke public at enca removed any prejudice which some may have felt ; the cohtinual good which resulted from their use spread their _ame far 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 _ssught for supplies , whatever might be the cost of _iran-musion . The United States , Canada , _ India , and even China , have had immense quantities shipped to their respective countri"s , and with the same result as in England—Univ £ ES _ . l Good . The sale of _Pake's Live Pills amounts to upwards of 88 , 000 _fcoxes _tveekl y , more than aUother patent medicines pnt together . This simple fact needs no farther comment ; t _. _tellg plainly that the pills of Old Parr is The Best MedieXBB in the World . The _folloning , with many others , haveb . en recentlv received : —

Gtntlem :-n , — _Enclosed is a statement made to me in person , by a female who requests that her case may be made known , tbat others _similarly afflicted may receive bfenefit as she has done , through the use of Pabk ' s Life Pills . ' I had been afflicted with a severe weakness , so much as to ultimately prevent me walking across the floor of the house . I applied to a medical man for his advice , but his skill proved to be al ! in vain . At last I was recommended by a person who had taken Pabb ' s Life Pills to give them a trial . I did so , and before I took the whole of the first box , found myself greatly improved ; I continued the use of them for six weeks , and am now stronger and feel better than I have been for years past ; and while I live I shall bless the name of you and your Fash ' s Life Pills .

CELEBRATED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE . HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT . CURE OF _FrrULOIJ O RES AXD _rLETJRISY . Extract of a Letter from Mr Robert Calvert , Chemist , _tekesley , dated , September Srd _, 1847 . To Professor HoUoway . Sir , —Mr Thompson , National Schoolmaster of this t own , desires me to send you the particulars of his son who had been bad for tkree years and a half , and has received the greatest benefit by the use ofyour pills and ointment . He is of a scrofulous constitution ; a pleurisy had left a large collection of matter in the chest , and this eventually formed a passage through the wales of the chest , and ended in three fistulous sores which discharged large quantities of pus , when he was induced to try your pills and ointment , at this date he was _apparefltly in a dying condition ; the atomach rejected everything it took . Your pills and ointment had the effect of completely curing both the cough and stomach affections , his strength _andflesh are also restored , his appe t ite keen , acd digestion good . There is every prospect that a little ftirther continuance ofyour medicines will finish the cure ( Signed * Robert Calvert . The _-. _oFtJssuLrrE Newspaper , published at Jleerut , has , on the 15 th October , 1847 , copied an artiele from the Bekaees Rec-BDSb , of wbich the following is an Ex . tr _ ct : — The Prince of Maharajah Bissonath Sing , who was temporarily residingat Chittercote , was suddenlytaken ill with Spasmodic Colic , and during his illness His Higbnsss otten asked for Holloway ' s Pills and Ointment , as he had heard much of their virtues , but none ceuid be obtained in the neighbourhood , and Professor Holloway , no doubt , unfortunately loses a certificate which would have grcaed and dignified bis list of _eures . ' The native Princes arenow _. _using Holloway ' s celebrated PiHs and Ointment in preference to every other medicine , they being ; so wonderfully efficacious in tha cure of diseases in India .

We give the following from t ho _Moekinq Hebald of Saturday laEt : — BANKRUPTCY COURT , Joke 23 . ( Before Mr Commissioner Holroyd _. ) IN BE O W . H . A . BEYNOLDS . 'The Cbabtist _'Lead-bs . _'—Tbia _bankrupt , the Char _, tist leader , came up on hia own petition to _paea his last examination . He owes about £ 2 , 600 , and the assets are £ 315 . The expenses exceed the _pr-fits hy about £ 310 . It appeared that he was a bankrupt In Paris in 1835 ; applied to , and wan cleared by tho Insolvent Debtors ' Court in 1838 ; nnd was again a bankrupt in _Paris in 1840 . The present fist is dated the 12 th of May , 1818 . ' No opposition was _offered , and the bankrupt passed . Now it must have been well known to the ecribe cf the Hebald , as it is to the world generally , that Mr Reynolds sever was a leader of the Cbartists _, and that whatever publicity might bo attached to his name , It ia os a public writer , snd not as n Chartist orator .
Iu March la _. t , Mr Cochrane called a meeting In Trafalgar _equare , to petition against the Income-tax , which meeting he abandoned to its fate and the police . Mr Reynolds addressed rhe assembly _( and we beliove . judiciously n _ ¥ i 6 e _ tbe people to disperse . Thin i ? tbe first knowledge we have of Mr _Reynolds as a public speaker , and it might here be remarked that thu Income-tax ia not a very likely subject for Chartist _discus-lon , Tbo brutality of the police on this , as on all occasions where thsy are engaged , gave some notoriety to the moetin _} _. Public meetings wera held in the Metropolis , as well as the provinces , to elect delegates tothe Convention , Atone of _iSes _^ _-md immediately after the Trafalgar-square _meetlaj , ilr Reynolds censured the police for thoir violence ; he afterwards addressed other _meetlngs _^ nd was elected , at a public meeting held in Derb y , to represent that town in the _Convention , Mr Reynolds took his seat In the Convention , but left before their business terminated . So much fur tho leadership of Mr Reynolds .

_Dkath of a Miser at Tottenham .- During the last few days much conversation and surprise havo prevailed among the inhabitant , of Tottenham , in consequence of tho death of the Rev . Dr Thomas Powell , a minister of tho Church of England , who was highly connected , and who , it was supposed , from hiB penurious habits , was far from being in good circumstance-. He lived near the High Cro . 8 , and his attendant was a little boy , who waB the only person who had any control over him . He avoided all company . He died on the Och ult ., upon which hi . relatives made search for hip . will . _Seijennt Butcher , of the N division , and a solicitor , proceeded to the house . They entered the room which he occupied
, but triey were unable to remain in it from the effluvium that prevailed there , ahd they were obliged to have it fumigated before they were able to look for the will . This was ( _'iecovered , upon which it was ascertained that his real and personal property amounted to between £ 50 . 000 and £ 60 , 000 . Of thia , he had bequeathed £ 1 , 000 to the boy who attended upon him , £ 60 . to his brother , a legacy to each of his executor ., aad above £ 30 , 000 to the London Hospital , having _di-inh-i-ited the whole of his relatives . The landed property which is situated at Tottenham , is estimated at £ 10 . 000 value , the right to whioh , itis stated , wili be disputed by Sir Henry Martin , who is heir-at-law to the deceased .

TOE ' SPECIAL' LOYALTY AND MORALITY OP LOUGHBOROUGH —LIBERTY OF THE flUBJBCT , TO THE EDITOB OF THE NORTHEBN STAB . Sie —I had occasion to bo at Loughborough on the Wednesday of last week , ond , to my surprise , I found tho town In _possesion of the special constables and milltary . On entering , from Leicester , with a small party cf friends , I found a large open . pace of ground filled with the y eomanry cavalry , who were riding round the _square , iu front of tbo Wheat Sheaf Inn . On reaching made
the door of the said inn , o rush was by somo po . licemen , who _seiz ? d our horso , but no further obstruotion _WR 6 « ffored . I next asked my way to the railway Station , nnd was direc ted to cross the Marketplace . I passed through a number cf policemen , but , on arriving at the _Mark-t-f quare , I fouud It defended by a numerous body of Bpecial constables , and I was told that I could not be allowed to pass . I rcmon _. tratod with the obstructives— _. _xpl-i-ed to them that I was a stranger , and they could have nothing to fear from allowing me to _paae , nt noonday , and in an op _.: > market-place . My request waa made In vain , nnd I waB groBBly Insulted for my pains . I never shall forget a short , _stumpad-laoklog little fellow who was particularly officious . I wish I could outliae ' his precious little body . He is a -hort . nccked _,
porky . _looking apothecary , built almost like a jug , and possessing all the pomp and order of offico . I felt so interested in this curiosity of natural history , that I asked his namo . Ho answered , « I will give you my card sir . I am Mr _Bon-iete , tha chemi-t ; ' bristling up , -inff ' in hand , as if Mr Bennett was liuoivn to the world as a man of consequence . I aeked them to direct ma somo other road , but was . gain obstru _. ted , and wn » _lndobt » _d to a friend for being allowed to make my way to tho _railway station . I was too late , and returned to Loughborough , and continued thero till fivo in tho afternoon . On my return , I _feund tbe door of the Wheat Sheaf Inn guarded by special _constabios , who refused to allow me nnd Mr Roborts of Nottingham to enter tho hous o , Although they admitted any ono to enter by a side entrance , lea-ing off the street to tho back
proraises . Tho shops were all shut , and business suspended , and , I must say , the conduot of tho specials was far from honourable . I was laughed at , and _mock-d ; although asking questions in the _civilest manner _possit Ie , and was eye and _ear-witneas to eights not thc most seemly , aud to expressions of the most course and bestial kind . All this display was kept up throu _? bout thn day , _although Mr O'Connor had gone to London by th . forenoon train , and ail Idea of an open-air meeting was totally abandoned . All these extraordinary preparations wore made io a sm „ H poverty-stricken town in
Leicestershire ; and for what purpose , tbink you , reader ? For uo other than lo overawe the poor , starving people , and destroy tho privilege of public meeting in Eng _laad We mu « t uo longer speak of public meeting as a right ; so—right , forsooth !—right is too holy a word to be prostituted ia a nation compose , of slaves , _Bwlndlars _, and military despots . Bow dawn , you starved , enslave d , and dispirited myrmidons—make baro your backs , you Poverty-stricken menials , and thank God , and bless t he glorious constitution , that you live in u country where you ore not allowed to grumbl ? , but by the consent of magistrates and rultrs .

I con hai dly conceive in these momentous times , tbat ths local _magistrates acted unadvisedly in these _mstterj ; it is not QBtrotch of _irriaj _/ ination , to conclude that Bir G . Grey had been _consults , and approved of tho course adopted ; but even then , I am at a loss to conceive the intention of all tbis display of _pirsical force .

Sympathy With Ireland, And For The Patri...
SYMPATHY WITH IRELAND , AND FOR THE PATRIOT CONFEDERATE , FRANCIS LOONEY . A public meeting was held atthe Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , _Fiizroy-fquaro , on Tuesday evenine Juae 27 th . On the ' _platfbrra wo observed Councillor Broolt , of Leeds , tho members of tho Chartist E _. ocutive , an-1 many leading members of the numerous _Confo _. erato clubs established in _London . Mr Stobgeon _« a _
Mr Samuel Ktdd waa then called forward amidst tbe most hearty _chi-oriDg , to second tho resolution . He said he hardl y a & _tlcipat & d such a truly Irish welcome ; thero was a wide difference between tbe Cold phlegmatic Scotchman , and the CoDnaught peasant , or the blue-eyed Usees of Klldaro . ( Applause ) England and Scot land bad been wedded tog _. ther by commerce and history , but 'here was ft wide difference between tbe En ? liBh and Irish peasant . ( Hear , hoar . ) He disliked the e _ nt about races in general , but certainly the differ . _enee _ixisted between tbo Saxon and Colt-ay , as dtep as that botwecn Franco Rnd Algeria . ( Load cheera . ) The resolution he held in his band condemned thc gn . v _. rnment os tyrannical , in pro 9 ecuti _ g Francis _L- > om > y , for simply declaring tho right of tbe _fi-isti te
self-government . It bad been said tbat a country was known by hor _lvieratur . _' , if t his was t ho case , Ireland must indeed be a great nation , for many of her sons possessed tho most brilliant genius—( loud cheere , )—and if her _puoscntry were not quickly cared for—her aristocracy mnst foil . It mig ht fairly be _osktd how maDy of her children were bo-n who never came to manhood , but who _werestricken down by premature decay . He was fond of facts , and lie should like to know was It God's dispensation that a million of hor children should he stricken down with famine ! ( Great applause ) This was wroRg . ( Hear , hear . ) He had , when in Ireland , in ; be sp _^ ee ofa hritf walk , witnessed , and c : uutod forty five femllles , who bad neither fcou _^ e _, home , nor bed , r . ave tho harl turnpike road . ( Hear , hear , and cries of * Shame- . ' ) Wi t h all
oar ill * , hera in England we have nothing equal to this . Had John Mitchel eaid much more than he did say , he would then _havs said ranch too little to represent tho woes and wrongB of his countrymen , ( loud cheers ) , and in the _lauuuage of John Mitchel— Th e _ eath of a p _^ _nsnnt web as much to be feared ns the death of a peer . ' ( Great applause . ) If the land ofa country be neglected , wo mig ht have external grandeur , but at the same time hi cursed _withinternaldisoaso . ( Hear _. bear . ) Itmigbt b . said that you can leave sueh a country _audgoto-acie congenial climes , but like Disraeli he did not liko to _bs _\ e the laud of the Hampden , aud Sidneys , A man who was a traitor to bis country was a thief to his own good nam ? , and a _vagabond to all eternity . ( Lond cbeers . ) lis took Mr Loouey , of whom tie _resolution
spoke , for he ( Mr Kydd ) did not know him , to bo an hon e st , straightforward man , who thoug ht his country ba _41 y done by , nnd tbat he had said be hated Lord John Rueieli ' _. government of Ireland ; now presuming fur argument sake , that Mr Looney had said so—let him ( Mr Kydd ) ask , wero there none to bo found In thc Honse of Commons wha h \ ted Lord John ' s government I What said Lord George Bentinck ths other night , and what said Mr Disraeli on tho samo _oocailon ? ( Reiterated cheering . ) Well , then , why did not the Attorney . _G-mcral seize on them ? Ho held , If it wns wrong in Looney to hate , it wag ( qually wrong ia Bentinck and Di _. rai ll , and , thereforo , these two gentlemen should be placed at the bar of Newgate , to take their chance with Looney , or Looney should bo set free . It _miglat be
eaid tbat Looney spoke Btrongly . True ; but , if be ( Mr Ky dd ) found peopio warring against his country , _roslsticg all appeals in her behalf , he should bo Induced to speak , and perchance act strongly , _nlse , ( Loud cheers ) Was tbis not the oase of Ireland ? But if Looney spoke strongly , end from tbe bottom of his heart , his conviction ., ho was no con & plrator ; for such a one spoke slowly , dressing himself in other _menM clothes , taktufr oare to keep _himself out of daug r _, whilst he p laced other men in the foremast ranks . For his part , he ( Mr Kydd ) knew not why England , Irel an d , and Scotland , should not each have governments of their own . In fact , he was not half pleased _that'Sco'laud bad not put
forth bi : r claim ; for Burc he was , had _sho her parliament , eleeted by her wholo people , sitting In _Edinburgh that tha Duke of Sutherland never would have beon allowed to have turned so many honest cottiers from their _komea , wanderers over the land . ( Loud cheers . ) Thus , the question was not merely a local one , affecting only honest Looney , bat a national one . He owed Lord John _Rnssoll no grudge , but looked on hira aa being eui _' _tely ignorant of the principles of good government , and looked forward to tbe time wben Hibernian , Scutfa , and Brltanla _' - sons shall enlighten him , and cause our _nttive _ian 4 to be really tha admiration of tha world . ( Prolonged cheering . )
The resolution was then put , and carried unanimousl y . Mr _Hanle . then came forward , and paid some high compliments to the NoaTDEnN Star , and said , if no other paper was prepared to do its duty that was _alwajs ready . ( Loud chot-r _* ) He hod no great ambition to leave his wife tnd famil y for tho walls of Newgate , but should feel _himself recreant did ho not come forward to support honest Looney , even at the risk of Newgftto or Bermuda —( loud cheer . )—lie had , tborefore , much _phasure in moving tho following resolution : — ' That it i- our hrmdetcrmlnation to support Francis Looney , and every other honest raan who may _fa-1 wltbln the _meBbes of lhe law , while advocating thc liberties of onr nnttvo land , by every moans in our power , pecuniary and other _, wise . '
Mr M'CRAE in a forcible speech , seconded the resolut ion , and said , in his visits to Newgate he found that Mr Looney , by his wit and patriotism , mado even thc gleom of Newgate bearable . He had looked in at a London meeting tho other day , and found a gentleman , ( . aid to be an oditor of tha Times , ) declaring tbat England 'had a right to noli Ireland , because she cenquered her . ' He ( Mr M'Crae ) at the conclusion ofthe gentleman ' s speech , asked , ' if that was tbe paee , how inaoh moro right would Ireland bavo if sho rcconquared England ?' ( Tremendous cheering . ) The tesoU-tion was unanl . _mously adopted .
Mr Chow In a most _enthusia-tlcall y eloquent speech described In melting pathos the burning _wronvs of Ire ! land , from tho time of tho pitch caps down to the period when tho transport ship sailed to Bermuda with the hero and _patnot , J-hn Mitchel . His ep 6 fch waa r . r . Iv . _S with the most _unbounded applause .

T-Ie Land Company Anf» The ' Wj.J_Ki_Y D...
_T-iE LAND COMPANY _ANf » THE ' WJ . J _ KI _ Y DISPATCH . ' TO THE _EDITOH OF THB NORTHERN STAR . Sib , —Looking over that sink of scurrility ana * falsehood , the Weekly Dispatch , of last week , I find in that _cfjcf ' _tised mn _. _s of turg id phrases , called the leading article , tho following elegant and tasteful bit of composition : — The murder will soon all be out . The scenes whioh occur daily In the _Commltt-o-rOu-u of the Houso of Commons are too rich to bear no fruit . Sir B . Hall , Stuart Wortley , and Mr _-Iny'or , put the Land Company and its offlcors _through * tho devil' in each a style , n __ can only end In Its being completely cut to pieces . Ou _co-iparing the original deed constituting the Company , and giving tbe shareholders powers to call _Foargus to account , with the Bill Introduced by that worthy
character , it appears that Le has inserted a _cleu . o nuking that contract of no force or validity whatever ! fja _bfting _cross-questioned as to tbe steps which ha took to get his accounts eramlued and passed , he sot Iho whole tooio in a roar of _liiughur by stating that tho auditor of his transactions was—wbo think you , ge & tlo read er ? Why , no other thin our old _ ap » _naceous friend , the illustrious Mr CufFuy ! Considering that thousands of very poor , bat very frug . il , industrious saving individ _. uals , bave entrusted their all into the hands of this patriot from Cork , tbe members of tbe Committee , tts fact after fact is wrung and squeezed out of tho plotter _, of th : 3 precious _schemo , aro seen aft- hear .-t visibly and audibly _toehutlder—and itis our firm conviction , tkat aa exposure of such a kind will be tht : resul ' . of making Cuanism so etink in the nostrils of tho working _tlasaas that tho very noma will become a symbol of reproach to its _profes « ors _.
Now , sir , having been present from _tnecoramrncement ofthe _investigation by the Select Committee , I here publicly civethe most decided contradiction to every _statement contained in the above extract . That short par _™ . raph contains no _lcea thsn five luilful and deliberate falsehoods . We arc _toie ! vf the scenes _which eccurdaily in the committee-room . Now the _infertnee which tho aVluded readers of tho _Drs _« _r-ATcn would draw from this is , that the Committee sit every day , the tact , being , tha * . that body ha" ! sat only on Friday in each week since its appointment , except the last , when tbero were two _sittinfia .
The rhetoric of some portion of this' mor aan' is admirable . If Master Sidney was ai expert in the right use of _metaphor , as he is in the b ' ackartsof lying :, calumny aad misrepresentation , he would not seek to chasten popular taste by writing about' scenes _bearixaFituiT . ' But whoexpects to find cither taste or scholarship disp layed in the filthy columns of the < - 'egei ; orate Di-patch ? Time was when its pages evinced , in no mean _dearee , these essentials of able _jmrnalisia ; but the mantle of Lieutenant Williams does not grace the barly shoulders of the vulgar Sidney Smith . Let ns not , sir , lose _sipiit of the scenes ; they will certainly produce a grand result ; tbey will exhibifc to the world that while rigid economy ha * _governed the expenditure efthe Compnnj'H funds , firm _rlr-vo tion , and strict . 'integrity have guided the general management of their affaire .
In the quotation above . here is another _malignant falsehood . Itis there set forth , _tiia-l the Bill introduced by Mr O'Connor will , if passed , render him altogether irresponsible to the Company . Now if this idl-ced scribe has read the deed of the Company , ( a very doubtful matter , ) and tiie bill introduced by Mr O'Connor , and then puts forth the above wilful perversion of truth , we can arrive only at this conclusion—that b . in one of those _abftfidoaea wretches who , _havinc repudiated the ob _^ _igationa of truth , and thrown oif the restraints of conscience , submit to no nther rule of cjnducfc than the _prompting of a malicious mind and depraved heart . I have read both tbe bi ' . and the deed , and harahly _deeming _mysjlf as competent to pronounce pa opiui'in upon the subject as tho veracious and s _*« _pient Sidney , 183 v taat tho simple _objeut ,. f Mr O'Ooniior _' a bill is , the legalisation of tee Company , and , therefore , the legal as well is thc moral responsibility of all its offieers .
Why should Mr O'C ' innor fear responsibility ? Has he ever attempted to shirk its penalties ? IIa 9 h _ not obtained , at his own _s-o'icitation , a Select Committee of _ths House of Commons , to inquire into ( to put through the Devil ) every circumstance _connected with the _Coraiiany ? What does this _Lur-ly ?—A shrinking from _investigation ? The _cowi-rt iae of guilt ? Or does it _evineea consciousness of rectitude , and a dee desire to havo it tested by the ordeal of public g . rnt / ny ? There is in this filthy , foul fabrication , a statement to the effect that , on bern . asked who waa the auditor of hia accounts , Mr O'Connor replied , thafc Mr Cuffay was and tbat tbe information relieved the C-mmittee from a cold fit of shuddering ! by inducing an immoderate one of laughter ! I _teli thia _would-ba assassin ef henesfc reuutation . that Mr
_O'Cosncr was asked no iuch question . I tell bim further , for hi-information , wi . at Mr O'Connor did _say . _^ lie Baid , the auditors of his accounts were av special committee appointed for tbe purpose , at the annual Conference . His accounts of income and eX _f ien _liture , upon _theac-ore of Lend and _buildingare produced to that body , by whom an auditing committee is appointed to _eximine hi ? balance sheets , and report _ther-on . Su _. u wa 3 the informa * tion upon this head , which Mr O'Coancr gave the Committee , and not tbat Mr Cuffay was his auditor , as the truth-telling DisrATCti has it . Mr Cuff . y is , however , ono of the auditors of the Company ' s quarterly baiaace _eheets , and aithjuih book-keeping is not his profession , those who know him are aware tbat his _ ability , aa a careful searching audit : r , is unquestionable .
The crowning villany of the _auwe _pieco of BiN _Jiag _^ _gntecoosistB in tbe monstrous statement , tha . the Committee were _s-en and heard to shudder a . the disclosures made during the investigation ! I shall take a very direct mode of rebntting this , by at once _stamping it aa a base and brazen lie ! And _y _' _tft those strangers who _alter-ded the _investigath _;* , together with the hon . members of tho C _smr-iitt / e _, say who is in the rii _? bt , I , or the 'leader' Bcrib- _' of the Weekly Dispatch . There is one c ' . r . uinstance connected with the couduct of the _Press-gang towards th _' n _investigation , which deserves our notice . Several of the daily and weekly journals have given reports of the proceedings of the Committee , and in doing so have given such a latitude to tbeir predilection for lying and misrepresentation , that on Friday , June 10 , it was unanimously _rvsolv _. d , by the members , to exolude thera _altogether from the _esommittee-room .
. trusting that you wiil give . liege few remarkspenned to defend truth , and to unmask brazen tnendaoity—a place in your columns , I remain , yours , A _MuMBim o p the Land Compa n t * [ The ab-vo letter waa received last week , but want of room prevented ita insertion in last Saturday ' s Star . ]
