* f "What a painful and noxious disease Is the Piles ! and comparatively how few of the afflicted have been perma-• aently cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill ! This , no doubt , arises from tbe use of powerful aperients too frequenUj adiiiinistered by the profession ; indeed , strons internal medicine should always be avoided in all cases ofthis complaint . The proprietor ofthe above ointment , after yesjs _^ of acute suffering , placed himself under the treatment of tiiat eminent surgeon , Mr Abernethy , was hy him restored ta perfect health , and thus enjoyed it ever Eince without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen jears _, during which time the same Abernethian prescription has been the means of healing a vast number of desperate cases , both in and out ofthe preprietor _* s circles of friends , most ofwhieh c = ses had been Hrtder medical care , and some of them fora very considerable time . Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment was introduced to the public by the desire of many who had been per-« ctlv healed bv its applicafton , and since its introduction t & e fame ofthis ointment has spread far and wide ; even the Medical Profession , always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the _Ylrtues of nny _medlciie not prepared by themselves do now freelv and frankly admit that Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment is not only a valuablcprepaTation , but a never fiilin temedyi-i « very stage and variety of that _availing malady . Sufferers from tbe _pstes will not repent giving _thC'Giiitnseuta trial .

( Loud cries of ' No 1 no !')—he was going to add , so free as they ought to be S The speaker then adverted to the position of different continental states—confessing himself ignorant on tho Swiss question—ami then 8 _|> oke ot America and the Mexican war , and designated it as on attempt to extend _pergonal slavery in Mexico , Ho told tha m . _etins be bad always been a republican , but he confessed tiie prestige ot republicanism had gone .

thatthe Mexicans were Catholics . This war was a _crusade of the Protestants against the Catholics . The sympathies of Ireland ought Hot to be with America , " The speaker then rend nn extract from an American guidebook , in wbich the writer said , that as he was walking in St James ' s Park , he asked _hftjiself whether the . child wns yet born who would see an army of 50 , 000 men . reviewed in Hyde Park , and the American banner floating from the _HorsR Guards .

Operative Bakers' Socibiy.—On Saturday Night A Public Meeting Of The Operative Bakers, Resides!
Operative Bakers' SociBiy . —On Saturday night a public meeting of the Operative Bakers , resides !
In Camberwell, Reckhani, And The Surroun...
in Camberwell , reckhani , and the surrounding districts , was held at the Tiger Tavern , Caraberwellgreen , for the purposo of re-organising a district society , to co-operate in the efforts making for the abolition of night-work , and for the diminution of the hours of labour to twelve per day . The chair wss taken by Mr Hooper . Mr Wightman said that very little argument could be necessary to show tho necessity of limiting the hours oflabour within such a _reasenable period of time as ~~ _ould be consistent with tbe bodily as well as the mental health . The speaker then went into dctnila , to prove the injurious effect of long-continued labour , and especially of the kind
which the operative baker had to perform , the greater portion of it having to be done in an atmosphere which alone bad a _tendency seriously to undermine the health . The demoralising effect of ihe present svstem was one of the results to which thc attention ofthe public should be moat strongly directed , ( exercising , as it did . an operation which acted generally upon society . It was important that they should follow up the object they had in view oflimiting the hours of labour to twelve per day . The public would be benefited by such an arrangement , and the trade generally would be most materially advantaged by it . lie called upon those present therefore to be active in their co-operation , and show by their support , pecuniar ? and otherwise , tbat they were hearty labourers
in the cause . ( Cheers . ) Mr Head , the secretary te the General Committee , next addressee' the meet * ing . 'Ho believed that at no timo had the evils of the present system been more extensively felt than they were at the present moment , and he would say that those who advocated the present system were instrumental in sending the workmen to early graves . It would seem from the terms of an enactment of ancient date , that at one period the position of employers as well ns of operatives was of a very different kind from what it is in the present day ; for he believed it conld not be said that many master bakers retired upon very large fortunes . The Aot of old date te which he had alluded , provided that no master baker should retire upon anything beyond that ofa
moderate fortune . _( _Uneers and laughtor . ) How many were in that predicament now ? No labour , as they all well knew , was so badly paid as that of the operative baker , andnone but the comparatively few who possessed fixed incomes could be benefited by such a state of things . All that the baker wanted was , to be put on a icvol with other f _ratles . It would amuse his fellow workmen to be teldthat tho Act of Parliament called the 22 nd of Henry the Eighth , provider ! that bakers were not to bo classed with other tradei and handicrafts , but were to be placed on a level with writers and attorneys . ( Loud laughter , ) This Act , at all events , shewed the estimation in whieh the trade of the baker was held . As he was _spe . iking of these old Aots , he would also refer to another which
be had met with in the course of his inquiries on the subject . In 1621 it was _provided that all cakeB and spiced bread which should be found in the houses of certain classes were to bo forfeited to the poor , except * ing on the festivals of Christmas and Good Friday . This he supposed might be taken as showing the importance which was then attached to the trade of baking . After some further remarks , Mr Reid concluded by impressing upon the minds of those present , in terms similar to those used by the preceding speaker , the great importance of the trade generally supporting tho present movement . A district society was then _re-organ 8 cd and Mr _Barstoek was appointed secretary ; and the names of a number of members having been enrolled , _thethanksol ' the meeting were given to tho deputation and the chairman and tho meeting separated , '

Irish Democratic Cohfederaticn. This Bod...
IRISH DEMOCRATIC COHFEDERATICN . This body met on Sunday evening , at Cartwright ' e , Mr _Dwuln In the chair . The following resolution una preposed by Mr Ciaacy : — ' That this confederation having been formed _fjr the purpose of cementing a union amongst all classes of politicians , ns well as oil _secis of roligionists ; we ore of opinion that the introduction of questions involving a difference of opinion upou anj existing orders of religionists , is a deviation from the spirit ofthis confederation , and sbould not be tolerated by any ofits members . ' The resolution wus seconded by Mr _Tucker , who animadverted in strong terms upon th 6 conduct of the parties who had tried so _poreevering ' y to sow the seeds cf dissection amongst them . He was an Englishman and he would not attempt to controvert
what bad been said by Irishmen to that room ; but from what he knew of Irishmen , he hclievei there were Irishmen present who would not _suffer the base attempt that was made to break up their society . Mr _O'Lcary next addressed the meeting at great length , In _supportof the position he hnd taken iu defending the Jesuits , and the "Primitive Cantons of Switzerland , against the arm . and decrees of the Swiss Diet , denouncing in strong terms the spirit of democracy that would notdofendthe Sonderbund . MrM Carty denied the right of their body to censure the free opinions of any other body of men , who thought proper to differ with them either upon religlous or political _subjects . Mr Brown , in a powerful address , showed the injustice as well as the Impolicy of
meddling In affairs that were sure to set them at variance with each other . He . did not hcBltato to say that he was the greatest enemy to the cause of Ireland , who would introduce a _relljfiou _? question amongst men who were composed nf all shades of opinion upon theology . This address otMr Brown's , called forth the indignant denunciation of Mr O'Leary , who again addressed the meeting in a strain of personal invective . Ihe meeting Was obliged in return to hear a severe and galling castigation from Mr Brown , Mr Clancy then replied , and wi ' -h great warmth and vehemence , denounced the conduct of O'Leary and Co . The resolution was then put , and one solitary hand was beld up against it . The meeting tben broke up .
_Bahnsiet . —The Irish Democratic Confederates ef this town held their usual weekly meeting on . Sunday evening at Mr _Utley ' _s large room ; Mr Andrew Coyle was called to _tbs chair . Mr O'Connor ' s letter _wes read from the Star of Saturday last , together with tbe short article headed , * The Holy Alliance of Nations , * on which an animated discussion took place . Mr Hoey addressed the meeting at some length , showing that when O'Connell abandoned tho Repeal movement and introduced Federalism , tbe Nation newspaper fearlessly denounced the delinquencies of thnt mnn , and always , through goosl and evil report , honestly advocated tbo Repeal of the Legislative Union . Mr Segrave was proud to learn that the conductors of that journal had thrown aside their unholy and unjust prejudices by offering the hand
of friendship to the oppressed people of England and Scotland . He would say with the Northern Star , ' _U-t bygones ho bygones , ' and if the _Motion is desirous to form a holy brotherhood of the democracy of the United Kingdom , the day ts not fur distant when the liberty of all will be _nchieved , Mr Thomas _Gagau stated that ha had unto a late period been a zealous supporter of the Whigs , owing to the false teaching of the late Mr O'Connell , but he now « andldl y confessed he was deceived , he would therefore join the Irish Democratic Confederation . Mr O'Leary , in an eloquent address , depicted tho wrongs Of his conntry , and denounced in the strongest terms the heartless tjranny of the landlords of Ireland for
turning their poor tenants out of their ' llttle holdings to die in the ditches and morasses ofthe country . He also denounced tho mock patriots who were deceiving the people , and concluded by moving a vote of censure on Maurice O'Connell , for requesting a reinforcement of military at the late Caerciveen sessions , to butcher the starving people . Mr Deane considered Maurice O'Connell was a detestable tyrant , and ought to be denounced by every honest Irishman , he would therefore second the motion , which was carried unanimously . The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs Keith , Han _' can , O'Neil , and others . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

' — . — . ROBBERY AT THE GREAT WESTEIIN _RAlLWAf STATION . One of Ibe most Impudent robberies ever perpetrated in the _metropoli * , involving the loss ofa large amoun t of preperty , took place at the Great Western Railway Station , on tbo evenine of Sunday last , The booking offices for first and second class _passen . gets run parallel wi'h each other , both being entered by distinct doors from tbc front yard , and both affording distinct ogres * on to tbe platform from which thetra ' nsstart . The t iro offices communicate witb e ' ich other by a pair of folding doors , the clerks in each being _thua enabled to pass too and fro withont leaving their p 0 Ej . tions behind the counters over which the money la _paia .
The egress on to tho platform from the _second _.- _'iagj booking office is by a pair of folding doors , _whio ' i at night are fattened by a single bolt from the Inside , running up into the top of the door frame . The inner platform being considered quite private , no _moresecurefasteuing to the door has been deemed necessary , and unfortunately , from the fact of the two doors not meeting very etosely , _noihlng was mora easy than to unfasten _, this bolt from the outside ; thus any person , nr » t having obtained admittance on to the platform , might with tbe greatest ease , by the insertion of a crooked nail _orsomo snch Instrument , obtain admittance inside the booking office . This Is exactly what _appenrs to havo been done . As the most opportune rae . ment for tbe _perpetret _' on of the robbery , the thieves appear to havo selected the
period of the arrival of tbe last train on Sunday night , viz ., half-past ten o ' clock . At this time , of _eourse _, all the booking clerks and other oflicers , with the exception of thc few whoso duly it would be to receive the _in-cum-. ing train , had left . Tho thieve ? , no doubt , _bad previously secreted themselves among the carriages always remain _, ing about the station , and there is every reason to believethat they did not commence operations until all the officers of tho company were busy In attending to thfr passengers arrived by the up train . Tbey appenr , then _,, having obtained admittance as above described into tho second-class booking office , to have gone behind theconntcr , and , forcing in succession nil the tills ( six in _= number ) open , and to have cleared them ef their con . tents . This done , they passed into the first-class office ,
where thoy aid precisely the _en-ne thing , every one o £ the doors In l » th offices being forcibly wrenched open * . At tho right-hand extremity of the first-class booking office is a small closet , containing an iron safe , where the money _tak- 'n during tho day is placed when not convenient to send it to tho banker ' _s , as on Sunday night _,, for instance ; this safe ( . food on a pair of brackets . Here nlsoall articl * _s of value sent for transmission by railway are in generally placed pending their _despatch . This closet wns fastened by a common lock , which yielded without doubt ready enough tothe iron wreoch whichh _» B tvidenily _betnused by tbe thieves , Havingr giined admittance , the impudent rascals had the
audacity to removt ) bndily tbe safe alluded to , which it is tobe regretted _oontalned a most welcome booty for them , no less than £ 1 . 200 . in notes , gold , and " silver , having been placed therein in the course of the day . The thieves evidently carried their load bnck Into the second _, class office , the front door of which they nnloched , and let themselves out . Once in the front yarn , the safe was doubtlessly placed in a cab er other vehicle , and the rascnl 8 gotoff . - . mong tbe cabs departing at the same time . In addition to tbe £ 1200 . cash , the safe contained a large quantity of railway securities , the property of tho chief hooking cl * rk . In the closet with tho _safo were two boxes of _bulliwn , each insured to a largo amount . Happily they ware untouched .
The Forresters are in pursuit ofthe robbers , but aa clue hss yet been obtained . It is feared the robbers were well acquainted with tho internal arrangements of the office .
Attempt To Murder A Wipe Bt Her Hu3. Ban...
ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WIPE BT HER HU 3 . BAND , AND SU I C I DE OP THE LATTER _Rbaeiho . —A poor woman , the wife of a blacksmith , resident in _Enst-street _, hss been attempted to be n ; u ' rdered by her _husband , who committed suicide immediately after the perpetration of the horrid deed . Thename of the wretched author of the tragedy is JameB "Jersey , Ho was in the employ of MrUimell , _vetcriniry surgeon and shoeing smith , ot Friar street , in this town , and resided with bh wife and four children ( all bnvs ) in a house in _Eist-street _, the scene of the horrible occurrence .
I . appears that , forsome time past , be has entertained a _suspicion of bis wife ' s fidelity ; in ' e : d , he has publicly charged her with having had illicit intercourse with an old gentleman on whom she was in the habit of attending as chnrweman . His accusations were alwajB emphatically denied by his wife , and it is ascertained ttut there never was tba slightest ground of suspicion against ber . However , quarrels frequently arose between them , and it is only a few weeks since the deceased man was brought before tbe mag ' _strates , aud held to bail to keep the peace towards his wife . During the past fortnight , the wretched man almost entirely neglected his work , stating , as an excuse that he was unwell . On Wednesday , the keeper of a _beer-shop next door to his own house , having heard thathe was poorly , '
inquired how he was , upon which ho replied , There ' s _, nothing the matter with me , MrsNutt ; but I bave seen things that are wrong , and I have staid at borne to find them out . ' Mrs Nutt told him that he must be wrong to his head to imagine such' a thing , on which the wretched man observed , ' I ' m right enough in my bend —there's nothing the matter with me . ' Oa Sunday , be visited this same bouse two or three times , and at one o ' clock , took home a pint * f berr for his own aud bis wife ' s dinner . About four o ' clock , tbe wretched man and his wife were heard quarrelling by th _« neighbours ; and , during the altercation , deceased sent out his son Charles , wbo had just come home from school , to fetch bis brother , tben playing in the street . The poor little fellow had just descended the flight of steps in front of tbe bouse , when he heard a _great noise behind him , and oa looking back he saw his mother rush _ontof the front
door , followed hy his father , who , at the same instant , felted her to the earth with a poker which he he'd lo h ' S hand . The poor woman fell senseless outside , tbe man retiring within the house , and closing the door after him , The poor boy ran immediately for assistance , and finding a police constable , returned with him to the house . The woman was found lying on the door step in a pool of blood , which was _flowing copiously from wounds in her head . A surgeon was immediately sent for , and she was removed te the hospital in an insensible state . The constable , on ascertaining that the wretched man had retired into tbe bouse , raised the door latch , and pro * _ceedtd into the _passage , at tho further extremity of which ho was horror-stricken at beholding tho assassin lying eu his face , and almost deluged in blood . After groaning heavily twice , he expired in the officer ' s pre . senco . A medical exominution discovered tbat ho bad inflicted a frightful gash across his throat , extending
from ear to ear . Tbe unfortunate woman , though still aJire , has continued in an insensible statu sines the dreadful occurrence , and on inquiring oa Sunday evening , it was stated tbat sho was in a very precarious state ; indeed , from tbe dreadful nature ofthe wounds she has sustained , ber recovery seems Utcgethcr improbable . The poor crsa * ture is nearly ten years older than her husband , has a bate lip , and is altogether destitute of any personal at . tractions ; therefore , the fatal _suspicions which her _hus _> band seems to _hwve entertained are tbe _aaore remarkable ; Mr Blandy , the borough coroner , bas appointed the inquest on the deceased'for Monday . The eldest of the children is sixteen years of Bge .
An inquest has been held . Evidence was given to show that tbat the deceased _laboured under a belief tbat his wife had been unfaithful ( whether justly or not was not clearly proved ) , « _luch belief had driven him mad , Thejury , without retiring , found "That the deceased , James _nearsey , destroyed himself while in a state of temporary insanity . ' At the close of the inquiry , the co * roncr spoke of the deceased ' s sons , _an-1 it was under _, stood that the parochial authorities will take charge of tbem in tbe erect of their mother ' s death .

Destruction of Messrs _Bihboland's Piasofokib _MANUFACTowr . -On Tuesday night , shortly after eleven oc _. ock _, a fire involving a serious destruction ot valuable property broke out in the pianoforte manufactor _* - belonging to Messrs Brid « Iand . Tie premises , which wore three floors high , wero situate in Vv ardour-street , whero they had a frontage of nearly 70 feet , from whieh thoy extended backwards to the houses in Wurdour 'Street . At the time ofthe disaster the place was well Btored with goods , some hnished and others partially so . Suoh was tho progress of the destructive element , that before a _fiog'e engine had time to arrive , the first and second floors ot the extensive building were completely wrapped io flames , and the fire was rushing through the _roofsna
windows with such impetuosity as to threaten tbe whole of the _surrounding premises . The _inhabitaHtfl of _Wavdour-street and _Noel-s . treet , being ap prehen " sire that their own habitations would be _consumed commenced removing their furniture into the op " n street iu orde r to escape from being destroyed . Many persons will be serious losers by so doing , for so great ; was the crowd that the police were unable to keep _tBO people from running over tlio things removed . Tie firemen succeeded , by half-past twelve o ' _clock J getting the fire so far subdued as to alia ) " all fears flits further extension . Tlie damage , as far as _cc'UJj tho
be seen , appears to be confined principally to manufactory in which the flames commenced , itty little , however , has escaped destruction . Theorig" of the disaster could not be ascertained .
