For the last tuo years I was afflicted with violent Scorbutic Eruption , which -completely covered my chest , and other parts of my body , causing such violent pain , that I can in truth say , that io r months I was not able to get sleep for more than a very short time together . I applied here to all the principal medical men , as also to those in Birmingham , withont getting ths least relief , at last I was recommended by Mr Thomas Simpson , Stationer , Marketplace-, to try your pills and ointment , which I did , and I am happy to - ? ay , that I may consider myselias thoroughl y cured ; I can now sleep all the night through , and the pains in my back and limbs have entirely left me .

      AN Additional and Important Evidence- ofthe Salutary Effects of BLAItt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS , from Mr . Thomas Tates . " 5 , Albion-road , Stoka _Newington-green 6 th February , 1847 . " Sir , —With much pleasure I acquaint you with tht benefit that 1 have derived by taking Blair ' s Pills . " * On my journey five weeks since , whilst at Chepstow . I had distressing symptoms of an attack of Gout in one foot , and with the utmost difficulty reached Bristol . By this time the disease had so much increased that I could notplace my foot on the npor . the swelling being extensive and the pain excruciating . Having often heard of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , I immediately sent to Messrs . Ferris and Score , Chemists , Bristol , for a box , which when I had taken , the pain had wholly subsided . I continued the pills until I had taken two-and-it-half btxes , more , when to my gratification I was perfectly festoicd to health , and able to resume my journey . "I respectfully assure you that I shall recommend this valuable medicine to the fullest extent in my power , and never while travelling shall I in future be without it . During my illness my residence was at Mrs . Slocoinba ' s ' Greyhound Inn , Broadmead , Bristol , whose family , if i _nq-isite , will confirm the facts Iliavestuted .

      Ing Is An Extract Of A Letter In The New...

      ing is an extract of a letter in the New York Tribune , from an officer on board the United States ship Albany : —•* As from the deck , with my class , I swept over the city of Vera Cruz , its environs , and the stronghold which covers il—said to be impregnable to the combined fleets of the earth—it was with a rather serious feeling that my eyes rested upon this grim , grizzly pile , barbed and _bridling with its hundred * of cannon : The que-tion at once arises , can it bo taken ? Shall we ever see our fleet moving up over the expanse before me to attack it ? . I doubt it very mach . Certainly not , with any force we have , orhave had here . Let peoplo prate as much at home as they please about it . If ever it is . done , it will be by a tremendous array of cannon , and a

      most _awlnl less _oHife . The castle ot Vera Cruz is no more what it was when the French carried it , than you are now to what you were when a _nursliug in your mother's arms . Then there were no guns above the calibre of 2 _ _-poun _ -, and but few of them most miserably served . The magazines , unarched , were not bomb proof . ¦ Tho powder was of suoh'an inferior character that not a shot penetrated the side of a French ship , but at the close ofthe engagement were stuck about the sides of the shipping like so many balls of mud ; and in addition to all this the commanding officer , having been instructed not to fire the first gun , permitted the French squadron to come up and take its position as quietly as though mooring to pass the winter season . Now let us see

      what achango time and a severe lesson have effected in this caatie . There are at present mounted within its periphery nearly 300 cannon , and these are all - 2 ' s , 42 ' s , and 8 and 10 inch _Paixkai'S , there being a very large number of the latter ; and wherever it has been possible to train a gun upon tbe channel of approach , they are planted en barbette , so that a fleet moving np to the attack , must be exposed to a concentrated firo of TO cannon , over a dktanee of two miles , before it can get into a position to return a single shot . The castlo of San Juan fronts the city at a distance of about 3 8 ths of a mile , and ia supported by a water battery , at the north-west angle of the town , of fifty 32 and 42 pound guns—nil of which would pour their vollies on the squadron passing up , bows on , from the moment it arrived within range of the shot until its anchors were down , with the cablewithin the reach of musket

      springs upon s , shot . Judge then what a force would be required for any promise of success , and at what an immense sacrifice it irould be accomplished , if at all . The garrison at thi * moment is composed of 2 , 000 men . In the event of an attack they would , with the moat perfect safety , retire within the casemates ( whieh are as impervious to shot as tho sides of Mount , Un-. aba , ' until the ammunition of the . . si-ailing iorce was expended , when they would return to their guns and sweep the waters before them with the most ternnc , destructive effect . The officer commanding the castle lately sent official word ' that it the commodore would bring hia fleet up , he might fire until there was not a shot left in the locker , and he would promise him not to return a g _ n until he was dono firing . *"

      Wreck Of An Emigrant. Ship--Onb Hundred ...

      WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT . SHIP--ONB HUNDRED AND S 1 _XTY-F 1 VE LIVES LOST .

      —m _~ m : _'„; " - ¦ - Accounts from Scotland report the shipwreck of the brig Exmouthj which had on beard about one hundred and seventy persons , nearly all Irish emigrants , every soul of whom , exeept three of the erew , were lost . It appears that she sailed from Londonderry on Monday , the 26 th ult ., and waa soon after caught in the storm which raged with great violence en tbe Scotch and Irish coasts . In the course ofa _succo _* _gtra of gales and squalls , every stitoh of canvas waa blown away , and after having been _buffered about , the vessel beoame unmanageable , and at half-past tw elve on Wednesday last , was driven amongst the ro cks at _Ballavanie , on the north-west side of Way , when she soon went to pieces , and every soul on board , including the captain , Mr Booth , perished , except three ofthe crew , who floated ashore on tht

      maintop . These men , who were in a state ot dread _, ful exhaustion , were hospitably relieved by Mr Chiene , the factor for Mr Campbell , of _Islay . On Wednesday afternoon the wreck was passed by the Modern Anthena , when many of the bodies were being washed on shore . The three survivors , John Stevens , George Lightford , and "William Coultard . obtained a passage to Glasgow in the Modern Anthens , whioh arrived atthe Broomielawon Saturday , and were clothed and lodged by the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society , The Exmouth belonged to Newcastle , and was bound for Quebec . - She was the property of Mr John _Edons , of South Shields . During the same gale , a brig from New Orleans put into Bowtnore , Islay , in distress , with Ion of two men and bulwarks ; and a schooner , with the loss of one man . On the island of Fara , a barque , a brig , and a schooner , are on shore _.

      _ _URTHBR PAR-IC-LA-S . According to the statement of the three sailors , the sole survivors of the wreck , and who arrived in Glasgow on Saturday evening , the Exmouth , of 320 tons , Isaac Booth , of Sunderland , master , sailed from Londonderry for Quebec between three . ind four o ' clock on the morning of Sunday , the 2 . th ult ., with a light south-west breeze . She had a crew of 11 men ( inclusive of the captain ) , and about 210 emigrants , consisting principally of small farmers and tradesmen with their families , who had turned their little all into money for the purpose of escaping the famine , and earning for _themselves a home in the western world . Many were females and children going out to join their fathers and protectors , rrho had already settled in Canada . There were also three cabin passengers , young unmarried ladies of the middle classes , two ofthem being sisters , on their way to join their relatives at St John . New

      Brunswick . The vessel wa * registered for 165 } passengers , but as two ohildren count as one adult ; and as a very large proportion were under age—there being only about CO men amongst the passengers—the survivors of the wre _: k , who are our informants , think that the _totalnnmber of these ill-fated emigrants must have amounted to the total stated , viz , 2 _ _n . The ship lost sight of land about four o ' clock on Sunday afternoon . Tho breeze , which had been light in the morning , increased to a gale during the day , and about eleven p . m . it came in terrifio squalls , accomi waied by heavy torrents of rain . They then furled the fore and main sails . The wind , . which had been to the westward at first , veered northerly , and tbe storm increased in violence , whioh blew the two tcp-sails from the bolt-ropes . The crew then commenced to bend otber topsails , which they furled , but about three in the morning they were blown from the gaskets . The shi p was now driving to the southward and eastward . The reason of the _matUi

      not standing to the westward , where be would bare ample sea room , wis for the purpose of attaining some harbour of refuge , where he might repair damages , and replace the sails . On Monday forenoon the long-boat was unshipped by the force of the seas , whioh broke over the vessel , and in the course of the same _foreneon the bulwarks were stove in , and the lifeboat washed away . The gala continued with the same violence during the whole ot Monday night and Tuesday ; and anindiett * tion of the force of the hurricane may be learned from the fact , that on the latter day the mainsail , after being furled , was torn from the _gaskets by the storm blast . While tbe crew were setting the

      foresail it was blownfrom the bolt rone ? , and the trysailmast was unshipped , and the main gaff carried away , wbich rendered them unable to carry the spanker . During this dreary time , the vessel pitched dreadfully—now on the crest of a mountain wave , and in two seconds afterwards reeling in the trough of the sea ; the passengers were all below under hatches , many of them insensible to external danger from the pains of sea-sickness , but some ofthem had a fearful presentiment of disaster . Cooking , of course , was out ofthe question ; but the grown-up people had no heart to be hungry , and moreover , the cooked pro . visions brought from Londonderry were not yet entirely exhausted .

      _.. bout 11 o ' clock on Tuesday night , land and a light were seen on the starboard quarter , which Captian Booth at first took to be the light on the Island of Tory , off the north-wost coast of Ireland , and in the belief that he thus had ample sea-room in the course he was steering he bore along . Ashe drifted near the land , however , and observed that the light was a flashing , instead ofa stationary one , he became conscious ofhis error and dangerous position , and made every effort to repair it by bringing the ship farther to the northward and westward ; ana with the view of " clawing" her off the land , the maintops . il and the foretopmast stay sail were set , and thej ib half hoisted . The effort , however , was an ineffectual one ; tbe ship soon got amongst the

      broken water , and at hall-past 12 on Wednesday morning was dashed amongst the rocks . Ifthe above be a correct version of the impression on the captain _ mind as to his position—a _. d it is distinctly spoken to by two of the survivors—the result shows that he must hare been fully a hundred miles out of bis _reckoning ; but perhaps it could not well be otherwise . The sun was obscured during all the time by black clouds : the moon was only seen through a heavy haze at intervals , and from these causeR it was _impossible that any observation could be taken . Tho light seen was in reality that of _Oransa or OverBay , on the poiatofthe _Rhinnsor Runs of Islay , to the north-west of the entrance of Lochind-ul ; and tho land seen , and on which the

      brig eventually struck , was the western part of the iron-bound coast ofthe island . She went ashore , and after _striking once was dashed broadside on alongside the rocks , which rose to the height ofthe mast-head . She struck violently against the rocks three times , and at the fourth stroke the mainmast went by the board , and fell into a chasm of the rook . Captain Booth had previously taken his station in the maintop , tbat he might personally keep a look out ; and as soon as the brig struck , John Cleat ; the mate , and ali the seamen , eight- in number , joined the captain in the maintop , leaving the captain ' s son , a youth of about fifteen years of age , asleep in his cot below . After remaining in tho maintop about three minutes , five of the crew went

      down for the purpose of ascending the foretop , thinking that they would hare a better chance of gaining the shore from that part of the ship . At the same time , one ofthe crew , named John Scott , went out upon the _mainyard with _t , life buoy on . his petson ; thus leaving in the maintop the captain and three seamen , whose names are John Stevens , Wiliiam Coulthard , and George Lightford , ail belonging to South Shields ; When the maintop , along with the wreck of the mast , was thrown into a" rift ofthe rock , Coulthard , then Lightford , and finally Stevens , scrambled up the rigging , and obtained a footing on the crags , The captain was about to follow the men , when a wave dashed over their head 3 as they clung to the rock , but they were enabled to

      maintain their position ; and when they looked round , after the sea had retired , they found that the captain and all were gone . The mainmast had been broken into splinters b y the fourth collision with the rocks , and this recoiling wave had hot only dragged tho ship , but the fragments of the mast , which adhered to her by the rigging , further into tbe sea , and thus cut off from the dense mass of human beings on board every chance of escape . Had th . wreck remained in the chasm where it was originally thrown , and from which the three survivors cscap * _., it might have been used as a bridge by the others ; but , unhappily , this last possibility of relief was taken away . The same wave which effected this fearful havoc must also have prevented the five seamen from reaching the foretop , from which they might hare had a chance of escaping . A quarter of an hour * elapsed from the : time of the brig first striking until the three survivors cot upon the rook .

      At the moment she struck , and a little previous to it , _aboathalfadozenof the male passengers were standing on the deck ; occasionally caking the mate if there was in reality any danger . Of the three young ladies wbo were oabin passengers , one of the sisters had been confined to bed by _. ea sickness from tho moment of leaving Perry ; but at ten o ' olock the other two took their position in the companion-way . and were seen there when the survivors Jast looked on the deck , fhe skip was ground and crunched so frightfully amongst the rocks , that she must have broken up almost instantaneously . / There was no cry from the multitude ecoped up within the hull of t . e ill-fated brig ; or at least it was unheard , for tlie commotion of the elements was . so furious that the men oh the top could _scaroely hear eaoh other at the top of their voices . The emigrants , therefore , must have perished in their berths , as the rocks rapidly thumped the bottom out of tho vessel

      . ... .... . The three men who had escaped to tbe rock , so so on as the ship entirely disappeared , searched anxiously for some outlet by which they might reach the mainland ; but none such could be found , and they finally took shelter in a crevice , whioh , however , did not shield them from the rain , which fell heavily all night , and here they rtmained till rrey daylight . They then discovered an opening , through which they scrambled to the summit , and after day had fairly broken , they observed a farm house about half a mile distant . Thither they proceeded , and were most _hospitably - . risked , and put to bad . They were thoroughly worn out by exhaustion , not one ol the crew

      Wreck Of An Emigrant. Ship--Onb Hundred ...

      having been in bed . from the moment the ship left _Dtrry . There werecat the same ; time nearly naked , from having divested themselves of their heavy clothing when the Exmouth struck , and lost part of that whioh remained when scrambling on the riggmg and amoig-t the rocks . The hospitable farmer ( whose name we have not learned ) , and others who had been apprised by bim , went to tbe _icene of the catastrophe , but of course too late to help , and only to gaze on the desolation . Mr Chiene ., May ' sfaotor , soon heard of the event , and kindly furnished the men with * passage to Glasgow by the Modern Athens steamer , where , as already stated , they arrived on Saturday last . Here they were consigned to the oare of Mr Fildei , of the Naval _Rendezvous , and assistant to Lieutenant Forrest , agent for . the Shipwrecked Mariner ' s Society , and by bim they hare been clothed

      and comfortably boarded in the meantime . On Thursday afternoon , the lateBt date of our advices from Islay , about 20 of the bodies had come ashore . They were principally females , with one little boy amongst them ; and as many of them were in their night clothes , the probability Is that they were those who had rushed upon deck at the first alarm caused by the striking of the ship . They were fearfully mangled by being dashed amongst the rocks , and being jammed within the crevices , along with pieces of the wreck , few of which were above two feet ii length . Other bodies were still floating in the surf , but the sea was still too high to permit any boat venturing out to bring them in . The belief is , however , that the great mass of the poor emigrants went down with the " between decks" of the ship , and that their bodies will not be reiovered till this part of the vessel breaks up .

      The Exmouth had nothing on board but ballast , and the provisions and little stocks of stocks of goods of the emigrants , She is the property of Mr John Eden , of South Shields , and though old , is stated , by the survivors , to have been found in every respect _. All the crew and passengers were perfectly sober during this fearful time , and the three seamen state that they never saw drink on board at all . The captain was in the prime of life , and has left a widow and family . All the rest of the seamen were unmarried , with the exception of a man named George Ross , who is amongst those perished . According to the above estimate , the number who have been thus suddenly called to their account amounts to 248 .

      MORE SHIPWRECKS . Since the above , we learn a barque , a brig , and a schooner , were on shore , on Jura , and that a brig , from New Orleans for Sligo , had put into Bowmora in distress , with loss of two men , bulwarks , Ao ., and a schooner with a loss of one man . The ship St Vincent , of Glasgow , Mouat , which sailed frem Port-Glasgow for Demerara , with a general cargo , on the 2-th ult ., put back on the 30 th . On the 27 th ult . experienced a hurricane from W . N . W „ and shipped a sea at 8 a . * .., which carried away some bulwarks and six stanchions forward . At 2 m , shipped a tremendous sea , which struck the ship in the waist , and carried away the remaining stanchions except two , all the bulwarks , both quarter boats , companions , and nearly filled the cabin with water ; the mate , George Cunningham , belongine to Ayrshire ,

      was washed overboard and orowned . The ship was making much water , and the pumps were kept constantly going .

Ryan in the chair , the secretary read the following letter from James Haughton Esq , of Dublin : ~ - 35 , _j-ccles-itreet , Dublin . Sir ,-1 am this day favoured with your letUr of the 26 . lt , and I will take care to have the address you have confided to my care laid before the council of tbe Irish Confederation without delay . 1 must heartily concur in the views of those friends whom you represent regarding the _e _ e « i » ioH of popular rig " . ts . If these be not kept steadily in view , and made a fua _. _al mental question in Irish agitation for self government , I do not think the Confederation will , or ought , to sue

      _cesd—; I will hand in tbe £ 1 It . 63 . and the list of subscribers for enrolment , and give directions to the secretary to forward you the necessary cards of memberships ; owing * to difference on some matters of principle between me and the council , I have sent in my resignation—I think our cause trill be ruined by the shaking of hands with American Slaveholders ; this I deplore ; but hope a tr _. er appreciation of tbe principles of liberty will arise . Will you be so kind as to assure tbe members of your society in London on ( those behalf you have written to me , that I feel grateful for tbeir kind sentiments , of confidence , and tbat I beg through you to return them my best thanks , please _accept the tamo for joy ** : own kindness—I am , sir , respectfully yours , JiXES HAC-HTOK . To—Mr L . T . Clancy ,

      50 , Cbiswell-atreet , London . Mr Clancy said the approval of suoh a man as James Haughton , was in itself a guarantee to tbem , that their cause was honest and just . Who had not heard of that great and deserving man , wherever black or white slavery , or worse than both , the slavery ofthe _paiisio-s should themselves impart , there was the banner unfurled , on which was inscribed the name of James Haughton . ( Loud cheers . ) He heartily deplored the loss of Mr Haughton to the council . What journal would dare strike at a cause led on by such a man ? He would not however follow that good man ' s example in this instance ( cheers ) . If the council should decide against their cause he would not stir ono inch till they satisfied him that their views were not correct , and if this was not done

      he would take care that not only every Irishman in that room but Jin London , should know that he at least had some claim to show for _obtaining his natural rights . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Sullivan in a very warm and complimentary address moved that "The marked thanks of this meeting is due , and is hereby given to James Haughton Esq . for his gift of tracts Ac , also for his marked attention to our re * quest , and we deplore his having felt it his duty to withdraw from the council of the Irish Confederation . " - Mr Martin seconded the motion which was passed unanimously . —Mr Donegan next delivered a lengthy and able address . Mr Tucker hoped Mr Haughton would reconsider his resignation and re * _, turn to the council ; they could not afford to lose

      such a man . He liked to ' see men act as their secretary had just declared he would act . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Frawley was glad to see they were giving their meetings a practical obaraoter . Mr J . O'Brien next addressed the meeting . Mr Theophilus Martin rose to perform what he considered a solemn duty —he dwelt at much length on the subject , and concluded by moving the following resolution . - ' That the special thanks of this meeting is due to the proprietor and editors ofthe Northern Star , for the indomitable spirit evinced by them at all times in vindication ofthe rights of Ireland , and of Irishmen in that paper ; but particularly for the marked attention paid to the proceedings of this body . " MrDwain

      seconded the rfcs _. lution , which was earned unanimously . Mr Tucker in supporting the resolution , commented on the great benefits whioh the trades bad derived from fhe reports of tbeir proceedings in tke Star ; no paper gave the proceedings oi the trades but the Star , it was quite true that the rascally Dispatch gave a statement sometimes which did them more harm than good—Cooper had written the last leading article in that paper ; but he did not think he _frould ever become even a second rate Publicela . After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting separated . Mr Clancy gave notice that he would on a future day _moveaa address to the Irishmen in London .
