For the space of eighteen months I was seriously afflicted with a complaint of the stomach , accompanied with severe pain and flatulency . During that time I had much medical advice , and was a patient at the Carlisle Dispensary , for six months , but without deriving the slightest benefit whatevor . I also tried several patent medicines , but without experiencing any benefit . I was worn out to a complete skeleton , —had a severe cough and spit , and was also troubled with Diabetes , and had no hopa of ever recovering ; fortunately , however , I was informed by some of my neighbours , of tho great benefit they had derived from Parr ' s Life Piils , purchased from you ; I accordingly agreed to give them a trial . I did so , and during the last eighteen months , I have taken I about twelve bosfos , wnich have been attended with the most happy results .

EXTRAORDINARY UPROAR . LECTURE ON MESMERISiL On Thursday evening , a lectcre was given at tbo Greenwich Literary and Seicmine Institniion by Sir . Vernon , on" Mesmerism , -which has latterly excited great attention , particularly in that district . At eight o ^ iock , the lecture haU , -which will contain upwards of 1 , 000 persons , was crowded to exass . Amongst tne ^ -ompacy , were a great nnmber of iidics , several cf the conuty magistrates , gentry , and professional and scientific men . On the platform , which was devoted to the lecturer , patients , and aedieal pentlem&a , who attended to take part bx ihe proceedings , wero Dr . Oak , of Biackheath ; Dr . PnrvJs , cf Greentdch ; and Messrs . Oak , Hliehell , Shexwin , Atkins , Appleton , Smith , and Acdi ? on and Hope , surgeons of the Dreadnought Hospital Ship ; besides a nnmber of medical students from the London hospitals in the-gallery .
Mr . Bennett , silversmith , of Stockwell-street , Greenwich , wa 3 called to the ehair , Mr . Ternoa then came forward , and introduced ihree mesmeric patients—namely , the boy Cook , a Tery intelligent looking yoath ; a jonng man , apparently about twenty years of age , and the Tery reverse in appearance to Coot ; and ayonrg woman , aboci the sansa age . She was very pale , and baring locked timidly round , sal down , and appeared to pay great attention to lbs lecmrer's address . " Mr . Saith , jnn . who , it will be remembered , mes-JEcri = ed the boy Cook , was also present .
Mr . T £ H > co > said thai , from the great nnmber of persons present , hs felj assured a fcirong interest was Ms on tho subject of Ej' -iaerism . The cause ] which had more direeily bronchi h : m down was the ; case of the boy Csoh , whom 1 - tad been requested ] to ri ? iT , and he now came lormrd more particularly to meet the gentlemen of the raedical profession , Tflo had so boldly asserted that it was a dein . Ev ? n from beginning to end . He had no doubt he shf-ald shew e&cts which would convince soy unbiassed mind that mesmerism was not a delusion , im ; deserred to be r ^ ked amongst the sciences . He then wtnt oa with a forEiil lecture oa the
snbject , and was cccisicnally saluted with laughter from ihe medical gentlemen , and on two or three ( Occasions andible hisses greeted his ears . j The Lecturer then cleared 1 he front of the plat- j form , so tha * no persons might tOBch the patient or j be near enough to negauve the mesmeric influence . I Tie female was then seated in a chair facias the j auditors-. I Mr . Terson leqnested any two or three gentle- j men to stand by oaring tho operations . He hoped j to have seen Mr . Hope , who had so positively ] denied the existence of irDaneric influence over : the boy Cook , come and defend iiis assertions , if : lie could . I
There wa = ? a general call for Mr . Hope , who , accompanied by Yit . Addisoc , another surgeon en board the Dreadnought , stepped on to the platform- The Lecturer , in answer to questions , said he had ' mesmerised the patient four times before , but never publicly . He had done so six weeks ago at ; a private soiree ax Dr . Partridge ' s , in Upper Moc- ' tseue-street . Dr . Oak said that only a few minutes before the girl said she had c-nly been mesmerised twice ; her memory , ihereiore , was , a ; all everts , very defective . ( Hear . ) ;
Mr . Mitchell— Web , if there is any truth in the ; argument , I ask the lecturer to rnenserise me . As j a professional man I snail be a better patient— j ( langhter ) . 1 mn ? t confess 1 am sceptical , but if I ; am wrong I am willing to become a convert—the I test , nowever , must be my being subjected to the i mesmeric influence , and here I am to submit to it— i ( he seated himself in a chair amidst tnmnltnous applause , which appeared at first to astoaad tne operator ) . i Mx . Veraon appealed to the Chairman whether Ife could be expccied ef him to do any more than j appeared in iLs bills . He had attended , not of his : own accord , ^ bnt by special inviiation ; neither was lie doing it for pecuniary gain . He had no hand in drawing up ihe bill , bat had prepared himself to
act nj > to tha promise held out in it . He thonght lie would be doing sufficient in demonstrating what is could do , wiihont attempting that which might be successful , or from many causes an ntter failure . It was a subject which ought to be acted upon with solemnity and calmness , and not in the manner which the ^ tniieraan who had strutted out snd thrown himself into antic 3 something amouniiEg to mountebank-ism—( hear , hear—and " Ko shuffitaj :. ") The person who cried " 2 io ihufii ^ g" had pui himself hors dc combat—he kept aloof , and proved he could not approach the subject as a- matter of science . "Withregard to thegentleman ( Mr . Mitchell ) ne would undertake to ssy that on kny future occasion he would mesmerise him—if he could—dear , and laachten .
Mr Shsrwin said that by the invitation 'bf the Learned Professor they baa left the pletsnre of pri-Tate life to meet him on the occ&sien , and ail they asked was a fair opportunity to investigate the matter . Mr . Terron—Don't call me a learned prof . ? f or—( A voiee , ** Hold yonT tongue , don ' t quarrel ; who can go to sleep in such a noise ?"—( langhier ) . Mr . Yemen—I say it was not mj summons for yon to attend . I had no interest in the aatttr , and have only come to prove facts within my own knowledga—( hisses , and janch confusion ) . The Chairman called loudly \ o order , and be ^ ced to know whether it was desired that the leu ' -ure should proceed ?
Dr . Purns said it was a matter which ought to be met firmly , calmly , and dispassionately ; a-d , as Mr . Tcrnon had come to oblige , it was not treating him fairly . They could not tdl what thsse-pbenomesa were , and it was not fair to challenge him to do vths . i he had not professed . Order having been restored , Drs . Purvis and Oak were ealled on by tho andiescc to act as judges , and give their impartial opinion as to the Tesult of theezveriracri-t . The Lecturer then made die usual pass ^? , and in less than one minute the patient wss declared by the operator to be in a state of mesmeric rosa . ' Mr . Addiscn and Mr . Sherwia thcz > applied a bottle of strong ammonia to hex noi-rilj ss-j mouib , fox sever&l minutes , and the patient ihowed bu : verj gUghi oppression .
Mr . Shermn afterwards unclosed her eyelids and introduced his fingers into her month , w .-rhont aav ¦ visible f jftct , but caused lond cries of " shame * froa many persons . On being loudly « li . d on to state tis opinion as to whether the psrien-: ^ 2 ^ li , a mesmeric trance , he , after Eome r ^ inbjgneiu answers , Eaid there was more the apptarsnee of a pirson assuaing sleep tcap otherwise , bhe evjdeitjy had a will , and responded to ths tcuca . Mr . Yernon safd she was not sleeping ; br sicej > of death , no ? was it pTeteadc-d its ! shv bac . o v . \ A or imagination ; the real cne-ticn wa =, vra ^ n : ¦ , mesmeric or natural sleep . The tesi <¦' : ite -irsng ammonia which Mr . Sherwin had sdiiiinisiered atShaL the strength and applied for half the time , would have awoke him cut of the fessdejt natural sleep .
Dt , Oak said he had been thirty-fiTe years in the profession , and he hoped Lsm !? ht veEture aa opinion on the case , He wished to b ^ ccnvinct-d whether there was any truth in the E . n » rer , bar , Ic-okirgat the patient , it was evicens e ' ee was hysterical , and not in health ; at present die was labonring under hysteria ; beades that , he had ji . it previousJy heard her speak . Mr . Yeraon—Ye ? , to be scro yo-2 did , io me . Dr . Oak ( vehemently ) . —T / hen i hear tbo
operator speak to the patient , who i-E .-wers rationally , how the devil an yon think otbr-rwise than that she is awake I —{ Loud cries of " return our money , " and great confusion ) Mr . Yimcn . —Dr . Oak said that from ihiriy-nve years' experience he wss quaiuie-d to decide whether it was a case c-f mesmerism or not . Dr . Oak—I did not ssy mesmerism . I doa ' t believe in . it , end I won '; " hi . ve words put into my mouth-^ Mr . Yemen—It is ous cf the facts connected with lie pbencrsina . —( Great uproar , and cries of '' ycu are practicing an cbr-urditj—ihe imposture is ji ' eciently apparent , ") & . ^ .

"Whatever the genera ] tenor of their minds might be at thai time tc-: ¦ jrere not capable of appreciating any scientific

covfn . He frtquently started np , exclaim ' iDg H I am so hot—be qu : et—let me go—you are bothering me abont being mesmerised again . " He then apparently fell into a state of profound coma , and a lengthened conversation took place between Mr . Appleton and the lecturer as to tho tests to bo applied . The lecturer said he had never operated upon the lad before , bnt was told that whilst in that slate ho was susceptible of feeling smell , and partial Bight . He could , however , be laid in a state of catalepsy , or one arm could bs catalepsed , and there woald " be a difference in the pulsation , which he thought would be a sufficient test . Mr . Appleton said it would not in his opinion , for he could by tho extension of the muscles of one arm rcdnce the pulsaiicn in the tuber .
Dr . Purvis and Mr . Taylor examined the pnlse of each arm , and the difference when the left arm was in a state of catalepsy was four . beatB in a minute , and when reversed only two beats . The left arm appeared as immovable as a statue , but the most msgical change took place by the operator passing his hand slightly down—it fell instantenously . At ihis juncture , a Mr . Harris , a cabinet-maker , in South-btreet , Greenwich , in a ruffianly way , struck tho patient a tremendous blow on the hand with a EUck ; the blows bounded above the buzz and noiso of the meeting . In an instant there was a simultaneous burst of indignation even by tho 3 e who had been most promiDent in their opposition to the leeturer . Th ? re were loud cries of " Turn
him tcut , " " police , " " shame , shame , " &c , and he was pTetiy rcugl . y handled .

Physiology and pathology had been intensely studied for npwsrd 3 of 2 , 0 * 0 years , and yet there were doubts . MesmerUm , therefore , ought not to be condemned as chimerical without a fair inquiry . —( Applause . )
The l&cinrer then withdrew -with his patients . Strsngo to say , the lad never flinched under the blow , cor did bis hand show the least mark . Sir .

Fkighiful Accident . —On Friday evening , betwebn six and sevtn o ' clock , an accident occurred to an elderly lady named Foster , residing in Park-street , Liverpool-road , Islington . It appears that the ' old lady , who is extremely fet , ble , was proceeding towards her homo along tho Liverpool-road , when , in crossing the ecd of Chapman-street , a herd of oxen , 'which was being driven in the direction , suddenly turned up Chapman-street , And the foremost oae running against Mrj . Foster , knocked her down with frightful violence , and before she had time to regain her footing the remainder of the herd , to the number of ten or twelve ,
trampled over her as she lay helplessly prostrate ou the ground , two or three of the oxen tossing and goring her in s most terrific manner . The poor old lady was picked up by somo passers-by aud conveyed to her home in a state of insensibility , wUsn , medical aid having beon called in , it was discovered that , she had received a dislocation of the collar-bone and a fracture cf two ribs , as also some severe bruises and lacerations about the head and face , and it is great ! y feared aho will lose the sight of one of her eyes . We regret to learn that from the advanced * ge ef Mra . Foster and the ssvero fright occasioned by the accident , but slight hopes are entertained of her recovery .
Another Destructive Fire at Mr . J . Rollss Factoui , Old Kent Eoad—On Sunday morning about cue o ' clock , a most destructive flre broke out in the fetore-rooms belonging to Mr . Josiah Rolls , floorcloth and table-cover manufacturer , japanner , &o ., near the canal bridge in the Old Kent-road . This is the third flre that has happened upon these premises within the last twelve months . The store in which the present flre originated was a f ery capacious one , possessing sufficient room for drying at least sixty pieces of prepared goods of twelve yards each in length It is situate in a line with another store , and the printing-room is contiguous to it . The first appearance of a fire upon ths premises was noticed by the private watchnuai , Who instantly ran into the roaJ and gave
the alarm . In a short time the engine from tbo Southwork Bridge-road station was quickly upon the spot , closely followed by olher engines . Frora the easily i ; nitable character of the mat-rials , the fire had , even in so short a time , obtained sufficient hold of the japan Btore ' and its contents , to warrant the expectation that nothing it contained would bo rescued . The exertions of tho firemen were consequently directed to tho rescue of the buildings north of the store , in which vero suspended many pieces of table covers and other stork , besides a considerable quantity of japan nv . x ure , oils , &c . Fortunately , their efforts wero successful , the firo feeing confined to the building in which it originated . The roof fell in shortly after the outbreak , and not a particle of th « proporty in the store was sjved .
Shocking Accident . —On Satunlay morning , a boose painter and decorator , named James Fry , fortytwo years of sge , who was at work at tbo town residence of the Duke of Devonshire , in Piccadilly , sustained the following shocking accident , which , at the time , was much feared would bave been attended with fatal results . It appears thil the unfortunate man Fry has , together with sevs-ral other workmen , been enjBged for some time ps . it in repairing and embellishing the abeve princely mansion ; ou S a turday , however , whilst standing upon a laddtr , between thirty and forty fttt from the gronnd , he suddenly
slipped and fell upon 'he gravel and Iooae stones in the area in front of the premises . The poor fellow , when raised , was found to ba in an apparent state of insensibility , and no time was lost in conveying him to Si . Gsorge ' a Hospital , -where , upon examination ty the housa surgeons , it was discovered that be had sustained & Bhockir . g fracture of the vortebire of the back , besides otber serious injuries . The p-iti »? at received every attention from tne medical gentlemen , and others of the institution , and aUhougb he still lies in a Etate of groat snSering , hopes are given of bia ultimate recoverv .

Mas . Gilmoub's Tbial . —On Wednesday evening the indictment for trial was 6 erved an Mrs . Gilmour in the prison at Edinburgh . Tho trial is to take place at Edinburgh , and tbo day fixed is ihe 12 th of January . How to keep Cneseif Wahm . —There are two classes of persons , said Boerhaave , who suff r from cold—beggars and fools ; the former not being able to procure a sufficiency of clothing , the latter not having sense enough to wear it . Sir George Lefevre , in * a pamphlet called " Thermal Com ' ort , " has endeavoured to diminish the number of the latter class , and to show that life may be prolonged by warmer clothing and warmer rooms than it is customary to use in this country . Dr . Thos . Young has observed that the duration of a caso of ph'hisis varies from six weeks to forty years ; and Sir George attributes the
prolongation ef cases to two score ye ; irs simply to warmth . The consumptive , even when lying in bed , can detect variations in tho temperaturo of their rooms , which are imperceptible to the healthy . It iB proved by tho bills of mortality , that consumption carries off one-fifth of tho population of the British Isles ; and as tbo deaths from this disease are much fewer in more northern latitudes , Sir George ascribes the difference to the warmer clothing adopted in those icy regions . It is a vulgar error , as he observes , to suppose that the Laplander does not feel cold , or becomes accustomed to it . Mr . Catlin refuted the same mistake touching the North American Indians . The truth is . that in climates where the thermometer at Z » ro of Fahrenheit is a mere indication of seasonable weather , substantial clothing is the first necessary of life . There is no dallying with a oold that freeza * brandy .
