      IMPORTANT TO INVALIDS . THE Proprietor of DR . HAMILTON'S VITAL PILLS , feeling convinced that the innate good properties of this ) Medicine , must by the recommendations of those who experience its benign efficacy , ( in many instances after all other means had failed ) do more to bring ! it into notice , than anything else , has abstained from publishing cases of cure , and the more so , as he well knows the frauds that are constantly practised upon the public by fictitious or manufactured cases , which causes little faith to be attached to such statements . But how different is it with those persons who are eye witnesses of the curative powers fof a Medicine in their own immediate neighbourhood ; these , indeed , strike home to the convictions of every one under whose notice they happen to fall . The entire columns of a newspaper would be totally inadequate to contain a fiftieth part of the details of previous suffering , and tke joyous expression of gratitude in the numerons letters he has I received . But he disdains to agitate the publio mind with them , knowing fuli well , that the Medicine having gained a footing , alike in the mansions of the peer and the cottages of the peasant , nothing can stay its course , nor is there a civilized portion of the globe where it will not ultimately be known and prized as the great restorer of health . !

      ARTHUR O'CONNOR ON THE STATE OF IRELAND . ON MONDAY next will be published . in Number . "Thb State op Ireland , " written in 1798 15 A rthub O'Connor . The whole will be comprised il Two Numbersof T / iirty-twoPageseach 8 ame 8 iz » anS may be bound op with the Lancaster Trials ori *! Fourpenee each Number . This Work will furnish ¦ better compendium of Irish History , and a nor * correct Account of the Grievances of that Countrt than any that has ever appeared upon the snbject The following is the Dedication with which it t ^ H be introduced to thatPartyto whose co-operation th « Editor looks for the correction of those Evils undw which his Country so unjustly suffers :- — DEDICATION Tp THE WORKING CLASSES OF ENGtAND AND IRELAND . Mv Friends , —While the existenc e of Irish grievances is denied , and , while the history of that devoted country iB but little understood , I hope br the publication of the following work , written h » Arthur O'Coapor in 1798 , to furnish such a con . pendium of Irish history , and such a catalog ue of Irish grievances , as will in somewise satisfy at sceptic . The reader , whea perusing the state of Ireland as described by Arthur O'Connor in 1798 , would If dates were omitted , imagine that he was reading the present history of that country . In it will be found the real and substantial grievances of which Ireland then complained , and not one of which cm to the present hour have been redressed . The author assigns the law-cburcb , and the application of its educational funds , and the Irish landlords , and their management of their properties , as amongst tha greatest grievances of that country ; he shows the pernicious effect of the laws of primogeniture , of settlement , and entail , and their minute connexion with the state church and its dependents . Upon the subject of the Land , he contends , as I contend and as every honest man must contend , flat no country can be considered prosperous or her people independent wherin the system of proprietorship of small farms , and Universal Suffrage , do sot form the base of her social and political institutions . Had I looked for a compilation of matter pertinent to the present position of all classes in this empire , I could not have gleaned from all ancient and modern writers , as much valuable matter as is contained in tbe state of Ireland which I am about to republish . As , however , it is well known that scores of prosti * tute histonaus have been hired by the English Ministry from time to time to give such a colouring to the revolution of 1798 as would suit their own purposes , and which has gone far to leave Ireland , without record to be relied upon , it may not be amiss to give a brief sketch of the political life of tbe author . Arthnr O'Connor , in 1753 , was appointed High Sheriff of his native county , Cork ; in the discharge of his duties during office , he introduced so many reforms , and evinced such a leaning towards democracy , that the aristocracy of the county took alarm . In 1795 he was returned for Phillfpstown , a pocket borough of his uncle Lord Longuerille ; and in tie following year when the question of Catholic Emancipation was discussed in the Irish House of Commons he made that celebrated speech in favour of Complete Emancipation which remains fresh in the minds of the Irish people , and which can never be effaced . For that speech he sacrificed £ 20 , 000 a year and a peerage ; and refuesd to retract one sentence that it contained , upon the understanding that both should . in such case be conferred upon him . In 1796 he establjshed the " Northern Star" newspaper , which was subsequently suppressed by military force . When that Paper was destroyed he established the Press newspaper ; and so powerful an opponent was it looked upon by the English Minister , that it was thought impossible to effect a Union between the two countries so long at that journal existed . Arthur O'Connor ' was then attacked by all the powers at the disposal of the English Minister and the Irish Executive . The Press was destroyed . He was tried at Maidstone on the 21 st and 22 nd of May , 1798 , for High Treason : three months after he had published the work which I am now about to republish . From 1797 to the end of 1799 , when the Union had been effected by an incalculable amount of blood and treasure , Arthur O'Connor was transmitted from prison to prison , and from dungeon to dungeon , until , at length , the powers of tyranny became too powerful for the individual ; and he was compelled to submit to banishment for life . He still livesj having seen more than fourscore years , vigorous in body , and sound in mind : perhaps the best specimen that Europe can furnish of a patriot , a states * man , a scholar , a politician , and a gentleman . He married the only daughter of the celebrated French philosopher , the Marquis Condorcet : and that he may live to see that Union Repealed which he laboured so honestly to prevent , is the sincere wish of his nephew , and your devoted friend . FEARGUS O'CONNOR . No . 1 , will be in the hands of Agents on Monday next , the 19 th ; and may be had of Cleave , London ; Heywood , Manchester : Hobson , Leeds ; and all Booksellers in town and country .

      THE PROFFERED ASSASSINATION OP MR . O'CONNELL . ( From the Times of Saturday . ) In our columns of yesterday we gave an account under the above heading ; of somd proceedings which took place at Bow-street police-court oh the previous night ; but in consequence of the extreme secrecy maintained by all parties concerned , we were enabled to give only such particulars as ] wen derived from sources totally independent of the court ; but although some of those statements might have been slightly overstated , they were in substance perfectly correct .

      From information subsequently obtained , it appears that on Monday morning ; last the Right Hod . Baronet the ; Secretary of State for the Home Department received at his private residence , Hill-street , Berfceley-Equare , a letter bearing the Gloucester post-office stamp . On perusing it , ho found it to be dated "Gloucester , June 5 , " and signed "Samuel Mayer . " The letter , which was eouched in very rambling language , related chiefly to Irish politics , and contained , among others , thejfollowing sentence : — " I will undertake , as I may be advised , to run the risk of my life against O'Connell . " The Right Hon . Baronet , immediately npon receiving the letter , proceeded to take the necessary steps in order to ascertain whether any person of the name of Samuel Mayer resided at , or was known in the

      neighbourhood of , Gloucester , and having been satisfied upon the subject , he deemed it necessary to have him at once apprehended . Accordingly on Wednesday evening an application was made to Mr . Twyford upon thejsubject , who forthwith issued a warrant foi the purpose , which was placed in the hands of Inspector Otway , of the A division , who without delay started for Gloucester , for the purpose of executing it . The officer experienced no difficulty in finding the accused , whom be at once apprehended , and as speedily as pes-Bible conveyed to town , where they arrived at an early hour yesterday morning ; the prisoner was taken to Gafdiner ' s-lano station-house , where ho remained till orders were -given for : his being conveyed to the Home-office , for the purpose of undergoing an examination .

      Shortly after eleven o ' clock yesterday morning Mr . Hall , the chief magistrate , ; accompanied by Mr . Burnaby , chief clerk at Bow-street , arrived at the Home-office , when orders were immediately given to have the prisoner taken there , whither he was at once conveyed by Otway , but tbe examination did not take place till between one and two o ' clock-The only official persons present at the examination , we understand , were the Right Hon . Sir Jas . Graham , Mr . Manners Sutton , Mr . Hall , and Mr . Burnaby . The prisoner , who is a person of very gentlemanly appeaiancs and demeanour , and apparently about 33 or 35 years of s ^ e , wes then introduced . On being asked by Mr . Burnaby whether his name was Simuel Mayer ? the prisoner said it was . Mr . Burnaby hav ng stated the nature of the charge against him ,

      Sir James Graham briefly deposed to having received the letter in question , and stated , that in consequence of the expression above alluded to , contained therein , it was deemed necessary to call upon the prisoner to give an explanation of it . Mr . Hall asked tbe prisoner whether be admitted the letter to bo in bis handwriting ? The prisoner immeoliat « jly admitted having written it Mr . Hall then asked him what statement he had to make in answer to the cbitrge , or whether he wished to give any explanation respecting the letter ? The prisoner said the fact was , that on Saturday last he was dining with some friends at Glocester , and In the courtse of the evening the present state of affairs in Ireland was the subject of conversation , and

      particularly the conduct of Mr . Q'Connell , and whilst under the influence of wine , he volunteered to write a letter to Sir James Graham npon the subject Without for a moment thinking what the consequences might be , be wrote the letter in question , but he had no intention whatever of sending it ; he put the letter , in his pocket , in which was another letter he had written to his mother , and on the following day went to the postoffice for the purpose of posting tbe letter to bis mother , but i by mistake placed in the box tbe foolish letter in question , which be had addressed to Sir James Graham . He ' did not find out bis mistake till some time afterwards , but as Boon as he did so , be consulted his friends upon the subject , and suggested tbe propriety of

      writing j another to Sir James , in explanation , but so little did Ibis friends think of it , that they advised him not to do so , feeling assured that Sir James would not look upon it in a serious point of view , but consider it as it really wat , the effusion ef a man under the excitement of wine . He solemnly protested that be had no evil intention in writing tbe letter , and expressed in the strongest'terms his regret for his folly in having written it , and the unfortunate mistake he subsequently made in posting tbe wrong letter . He confidentently sub * mitted that the whole tonour of tbe letter , from its very rambliDg character , showed it to have been written under tbejnfluence of drink , and could not have been penned by him at a subsequent period whilst in his proper senses .

      Mr . Hall said the writing such a letter was undoubtedly a misdemeanour , for which be was liable to be severely punched ; and it was certainly such an offence which could not be passed over without notice . The prisoner again expressed his extreme regret at what bad occurred , and banded in a testimonial , signed by the High-Sheriff of Glocestershire , and many of the most respectable inhabitants , as to his high respectability and good character . Mr . Hall repeated , that under the circumstances such an offence could not be pfewed over with impunity ; he should therefore call upon the prisoner to enter into his sown recognizances in the sum of £ 500 , and find two sureties in £ 100 each , for his appearance at the July sessions at the Central Criminal Court , to answer any indictment which may be preferred against him , Two gentlemen who accompanied the priaontr from Glocoster immediately entered into the required sureties , and he was forthwith released from custody . We understand the prisoner , who is a married man , and has a family of four children , is much respected in Glocsster , where he for some years practised as a solicitor , bnt lately relinquished that profession upon being appointed to a situation in the Custom-house at Glocester .

      American Honesty . —A friend of ours , travelling to New Orleans , Walked up to a curious-looking old chap sitting alone in the bow of the boat and remarked : " Wheip are you from , my friend V u I ' m from Illinois . " ^ Well , are you going to repuderate op there in Illinois as they do down here ? " " Why , no , " said the old sucker , " I don ' t think we shall repuderate exactly as they do down here . We owe , they tell me , about 20 , 000 , 000 dollars , and I reckons , by waiting till pur bonds get to be worth but five per cent , in the dollar , we can borrow a million , and pay off the whole , and then we shall have to repuderate only the million .

      PRISON DIETARY . ( From a correspondent of the Times . J W « should be glad to learn from Mr . William Merry , or any other li visiting justice" who is an advocate for prison starvation , and who justifies oatmeal porridge by reference to ducal commissariats or more plebeian victualling departments north of the Tweed , the exact daily allowance of raw whisky which la served out to every prisoner who has the twofold misfortune of expiUtiog hisi offence * against the laws of his country , by undergoing a rigorous system of coercion in confinement , and of being subjected at the same time to a

      cruel experiment on the capabilities of his digestive organs . It may comport whith Mr . William Merry ' s notions of the decencies to be observed in that class of society in which ovary unpaid magistrate la presumed to move , and of the amount of oensider&lion due to the feelings of men who , whatever may be their crimes , are unquestionably objects for the commiseration of their fallow-creatures , to indulge in unseemly jokea about " mucous membranes ; " but the subject of prison discipline is of too momentous an importance to be laughed out of countenance by a more merry than wise reference to the oatmeal porridge which is eaten with impunity in Scotland .

      The oaVmtaVtei-ScoUana fallacy la one requiring a more serious attention than Mr . Merry ' s letter alone could tempt us to bestow on it , because there is a certain amount of plausibility in it , not unlikely to impose on those country justices whose mental calibre is not exactly proportionate to tbe authority which Ib intrusted to them , and who , like Mr . Merry , draw general Inferences from particular propositions , and draw them with mischievous consequences , since , even where they have the best intentions , those inferences will generally decide their line of conduct . We have no abstract detestation - oi oatmeal porridge , any more than we have of train oil or rotten eggB . They are all good In their way for those whom hereditary predisposition , habit , and hard necessity have reconciled to their use ;

      but because Greenlandera relish train oil , and the South-American savages among whom Commodore Assob and such of bis crew as survived their Bhipwreck passed several wretched months could boaat no better larder than a store of eggs which had been laid up for . many months , we see no reason why either of those articles of diet should be introduced into this country ; and , though oatmeal is reckoned in England ' : rather more palatable , we must protest agabut the Scotch diet being crammed down the throats of ; Englishmen , except under circumstances similar to those which reader it an endurable food . And what are those circumstances ? Did Mr . Merry , when he was deerstalking at the tail of a Duke , ever hear of mountain-dew or Crknlivet ? Is be aware that every

      gillie who runs at the heel of a deer-stalker is in the fullest enjoyment of liberty , of the free and unrestrained exarciBB of his limis , of the finest mountain air , and yet that , with all these aids to digestion , he " fortifies his stomach * by repeated drams of ardent spirits ? Can any one who will bestow a moment ' s rtlection on the suVjectbelieve that a diet which nay suit a man under those circumstances is therefore proper to be introduced into a prison ? But it may be said that the labonring classes in xhe most crowded Scotch towue are compelled to resort to oatmeal as their chief food . We grant it ; but who that has passed , as we nave , through the wynds of Edinburgh and Glasgow , has not been struck by the astounding number of spirit-shops which supply to tbe poor what we have no hesitation in calling one

      of their necestarieB of life ? Contrast the Highlander whose life is passed on the heather , with tbe pallid , worn , and sickly artisan of the Cowgate , and then boasl , if you will , of the virtues of mere oatmeal . Ween you ; resolve to make yonr experiments on English prisoners , deprived of liberty , constrained to pass their days either without the exercise of or in the : performance of tasks to which labour the ; have sever been accustomed , cooped up in cells , breathing the close and contaminated air of a gaol , deprived of the cheering daylight , except in such glimpses as serve only to make its deprivation the more painfully felt , and , beyond all this , suffering , except in rare instances , tbe constant mental anguish which a total disruption of all the ordinary habits of life , a

      forced separation from all tbe wonted scenes , amusements , and ! excitements of every day existence , from ascociates , friends , relatives , and home , and a constant sense of knows guilt and shame must produce—when you resolve to practise your oatmeal experiments on men like these , and to administer the diet to them without any of those stimulants which the practical experience of a whole nation has shown to be essential to its answering the purposes of food , bear that contrast in mind , and think how much below the condition of that aitizan you are about to bring your neighbour . If one man may go to the north of Scotland fur the basis of a theory in wMcb he delights , another may seek in ; a higher latitude his tdtima Ihtde . If oatmeal is fit for English prisoners merely because it suits

      the Highlanders , the same reasoning will suffice to establish the claims of Lapland and Esquimaux dishes , and oatmeal may be superseded by blubber . If the food which : agrees with one man under his peculiar circumstances is therefore to be given without discrimination to any man whom the country ia bound to keep alive , what logical reason is there for not giving it to 6 very one who is supported at the public expenca , and why are the turnkeys and gaolers maintained at tbe extravagant cost of bread and meat ? If oatmeal is in all cases sufficient to nourish a man and keep him in health , why not at once reduce the army and navy estimates by striking out the superfluous rations ? We have abolished the - stocks and

      -whipping-post ( except where Royalty is concerned , an exception proving the absurdity of the rule , ) because the march ; of humanity cannot bear to have actual suffering for crime brought " between the wind and its nobility ; " but we have no lack of soft-hearted persons who shut their eyes to the sight of a discharged convict pining for months under the effects of his prison discipline , and enduring the misery of an injured con . ttitntion , an exemption from which would have been mercifully granted by the applieatto » of the lash . Lei them make the case theli own , and fancy themselves condemned ; to oatmeal porridge for a single month . Bach of them as remember the events of 1799 , when , in consequence of the scarcity of Wheat , the universal substitution of brown bread for white was recommended

      by proclamatien , and was attempted by every one , from the throne downwards , will probably recollect the fact that this change of diet , apparently of snch Blight importance , was obliged to be abandoned after a single fortnight ' s experience of tbe disorders which it produced . Can they , can any one who has any feeling for his fellow-man , who , whatever may be his crime , ia still bis " neighbour / ' uphold tbe oatmeal torture ?

      HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tuesdat , Junk 13 . Lord Dalheny moved tho second reading of tbe Halbeath and Dolgelly Railway Bill . It was opposed by Mr . Beuce , and on a division thelBill was thrown out by a majority of 81 to 49 . Numerous petitions were presented against the Factories Education Bill .

      Mr . W . S . O'Brien gave notice that on Tuesday , thel 27 th of June , he would move the following resolution : — " That this House will resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House , to inquire into thejcauBes of the discontent at present prevailing in Ireland , with a view to the redress of grievances , and to the establishment of such a system of just and impartial government as shall for the future leave no ground for well-founded complaint on the part of the Iruh people /' Sir V . Blake gave notice , that on Monday next he would submit a motion , which , as it would contain a charge against Ministers for impeding and violating the privileges of that House , he hoped

      would have precedence ; of aU other business . The Hon ., Baronet then read the motion which he intended to submit , which , in substance , charged the government with having made the most provokingly , uncivil and military demonstration in Ireland , to the ! great injury of tho privileges of Parliament , and in violation of the constitutional rights of the subject to assemble and petition Parliament for the , removal of any alleged grievance . ( " Hear , hear , " and a laugb . ) gjlu answer to a question from Lord R . Grcsvenor , Sir ) James Graham said he was not prepared to concur in the provisions of the Interment in Towns Bill . '

      Mr . Mackinnon afterwards intimated that after what had fallen from the Home Secretary , he was not prepared to say whether he would go on with hislBill . The Bill , of course , is lost . Sir R . Peel said the discussion of the Sugar Duties , he trusted , would be taken on Monday , but ' this would depend on tho length of the debate on the Irish Arms Bill . He trusted , however , thai ; the Factories Bill would be brought forward on that evening . Iiord J . RwssELL moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House , for the ; purpose of considering the present state of the Corn Laws . The Noble Lord made a long speech on th 6 subject . Numerous speakers followed , and , on a division , the motion was rejected by a majority of 99 . The other Orders of the Day were disposed of , and the House adjourned at half-past twelve o ' clock /'

      Wednesday , June 14 . Mr . Hume gave notice that on Tuesday week he would bring forward his ; motion respecting tbe pension of the Duke of Cumberland . Mr . Milneb Gibson put various questions to Sir R . Wei on tho state of ; publio business , more particularly as regarded the intentions of Government with respect to the Factories Bill , the Ecclesiastical Coarts BUI , and the Local Courts Bill . Sir Robert Peel replied that sir James Graham would this day state toltbe House ihe course which he ineant to take with the Factories Bill . Mr HispLBT inquired if Government had investteated the circulflstances attending the introduction

      of ' 400 bales of American manufactures mto this country , consigned to Messrs , Baring , Brothers , and Col He trusted there ; would be an opportunity of getting at the real faots of the case . Sir n . Peejl said his Right Honourable Friend , the President of the Board of Trade , would probably , answer the question . The House then went into Committee of Supply . On ; the proposed annuity of £ 3 , 000 a year to the Princess Augusta of Cambridge being moved , Mr . Hume opposed the grant . He disclaimed any intention to reflect on the character of the Duke of Cambridge . He reflected only on Ministers , who could propose auch a grant . He denied that there

      nephew of Queen Charlotte ! The proposed " grant , considering tliat jthe Royal Family were long-lived , be calculated might in , forty-five years amount to £ 500 . 000 ; and ] he denied that there was any sufficient ground for such a grant . After some further observations , in which he took a review of the civil list , the Honourable Member concluded by moving an amendment , in the following terms— " That in ] the opinion of the committee , the staple allowance so long enjoyed ty his his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge should have enabled him to make provision for his children ; and it is neither wise nor just , especially in the present state of the country , and the deplorable destitution of the labouring classes , to propose any grant by way of dowry for the Princess Augusta Caroline of Cambridge . "

      Mr . Liddell , amidst general symptoms of impatience , protested ' against the amendment . Sir R . H . Inglis opposed the amendment , and contended that the proposed grant to the Princess Augusta was not ] worth one-tenth of the sum Mr . Hume had calculated . Mr . F . Baring' suggested that the grant to the PrinceBS Augusta should not take effect till the decease of the Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz , who at prpgent enjoyed a pension from this country . Colonel Woopjcontended that the grant proposed was any principle or precedent upon which the country was called upon to support the children of Royal Duke 3 . If there were , it might extend as fairly to their grandchildren , and what was the limit to which jthese grants might not extend

      He asked why should the children of the Duke of Cambridge be treated differently from those of the Duke of Sussex ;—and with reference to the grant immediately under consideration referred to a grant of £ 2 , 000 a year which was already enjoyed by a relation of the Prince of Streliz , under an Irish ) Act of Parliament , of 38 George III ., under which he calculated that £ 335 , 000 had been paid to that personage . He put it to ilie Government whether such grants did not impair the position of the Crown in the affections of the people . What would be said now if it wan proposed to the House of [ Commons to grant £ 335 , 00 ( fto the fell far below the deserts of the Duke of Cambridge , whose name waslat the head of all the charities in this country , and who never refused to preside at dinners for charitable purposes .

      Mr . Ward thought the Duke of Cambridge should provide for his own daughter's marriage , as any other nobleman j or gentleman did . Considering the distressed state of the country , he pat it to the House whether it was fit thus to add to the tinsel of royalty J Sir R . Peel urged that the Duke of Cambridge , though he had undoubtedly received a large income , had to transmit la Dukedom to his successor , with tbe means of keeping up its dignity . The proposed grant was not to take effect till tho death of the Duke of Cambridge . Mr . Hume having disputed the right on the ground of precedent , for such a vote , he would ] remind the House that all the

      daughters of George the Third were allowed £ 16 , 000 a year , [ and the Princess Sophia of Gloucester , who wasf not bo nearly allied to her Majesty as the Princess Augusta , received £ 7 , 000 a year . The grant to the Duke of Strelitz already existing , ] was made in consequence of territorial sacrifices to which he had to submit during the French { Revolution . He abstained from entering into details of calculation , but he thought that the House , with all regard to the distressing circumstances of the country , would be fully justified in making such a grant as that which he proposed . On a divi 8 ioni the motion was carried by 223 against 57 . Theireport will be considered this day . The Coroners Bill was read a second time , after which the House ! adjourned .

      Thuksdav , June 15 . Sir James Graham withdrew the Education Clauses of the Factory Bill . The report on the Queen ' s message was brought up and agreed to . The Canada Corn Bill was read a third time and passed . | The House then went into committee on the Irish Arms Bill , and after several speeches had been made , the debate was ajdjourned .
