rpHE following statement of facts has been com-A . municated to the Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS :-Messrs . T . Roberts aud Co . Malton , Jan . 30 , 1843 . Gentlemen , T-Though it is but a very short time since I last wi * ote for a supply of Parr ' s Life Pills , I find that owing to an astonishing increace in the sale of them , I am again compelled to request you to send me twenty dozen of thesmp't , as also a supply of the large size . I should wish you to fox ward them by railway to York , thence by carrier , as ear y ^ p ossible , as I am afraid my present stock will be exhausted before they reaah roe . I eucJce you the case of a person who resides in Malton , r--d who : ;> testimony may be relied upon as being strictly correct . This is but one case selected from an almost incredible number of others , which have come under my notice , in which cures have been effected by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Many highly respectable persons in this neighbourhood , who previous to the introduction of Parr ' s Life Pills had a decided dislike to Patent Medicines , are now thankful that they rre able to add their testimonials to the beneficial eff ; : ts of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , the quantity of pills as ordered aoove , you will oblige , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , J . WRANGHaM . Gentlemen , —When I consider the very great relief 1 have experienced from the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to you but to every one who ; may be suffering from similar complaints with whioh I have been afB ' cted , to make my astonishing case as public as possible . For a long time past 1 have been greatly troubled with a most severe nervous complaint , g ; ddiness , and swimming in the head , which increased to such a degree that at times I was compelled to leave off from my work , being unable to bear the least fatigue or excitement . At the suggestion of many of my friends , I was induced to try vp'ious medicines , but found that my complaint instead of diminishing , was daily growing worse . Having fortunately heard oil tho bencfioial offocts of Parr's Life Pills , I resolved ko give them a fair trial , though 1 must confeis with but Tittle hop < -. of deriving benefit from them , after having tried so many other nvidicinea without success ; I immediately purchased a email sized box of Mr . Wrangham , chemist , the only agent for the sale of them in Malton , and fortunate indeed has it been for me that 1 did so , for though I have just finished taking this one box , I find myself so far relieved that instead of daily , nay hourly , suffering from that dreadful complaint , nervousness , with its attendant miseries , 1 am restored to my former good health ; my nerves are strong—the giddiness and sn imming in my head are totally removed , and I am now able to attend regularly to my trade . Allowing you to make whatever use you may think proper of this statement and being truly grateful for the benefit I have obtained from taking Parr ' s Life Pills . x .. ^ i ^ I am , GentlomoD , your obedient Servant , I THOMAS PATTISON , Painter . N . B . I shall be glad to answer any enquiries respecting the good the pills havo done mo . To Mr . T . Roberts and Co ., Crane Court , Fleetstreet , London . A most extraordinary Case of Cure communicated , by Mrs . Moxon of York . Mrs . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate dise ase , whioh her medical attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It originated in her breast , aud continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills being ;* r lotonaended to ner , she resolved to give them a trie i ; ? nd , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable advantage whioh she haa already derived from them . She further states that she is now almost well , and asoribes her onva ' escence solely to the persevering use of that so » erei&u medicne Parr ' B Life Pills . From F . Mattheisz , Jaffi-a , Ceylon Jaffra , October 17 th , 1842 . Sir , —I beg to inform you that having undevtaken the small supply of the celebrated Parr ' s Life Pills , lately received aere from you by the Rev . P . Percival , they havo met with a very rapid Bale , and the constantly , increasing demand from every part of the province ensures to a very large extent success to the dealer , and good t > the people at lsrge . May I theiefore take the Hbertj of requesting you will be good enough to send me 1000 boxes by the very first opportunity , making , if you please , the usual discount to purchasers of such large quantities . I beg to remark that the value of tho above will be given by me into the bands of the Rev . Mr . Percival , who has kindly offered to be responsible to you fog * ne same . 1 remain , your obedient ervant . F . MATTHEISZ ; Please address me F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Cej tfn-To Messrs . T . Roberts aud Co ., Proprietors of P r » Life Pills , Crano-Court , Fleet-street . Communicated by Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Win-; Chester . East Stratton , near Winchester , Dec . 13 th , 1842 . Sir , —You will remember I sent to your shop for a bottle of medicine round which was a paper containing testimonials' of cures effcoted by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Amongst many others I observed one ; a case of Rheumatism , which appeared to me similar to my own case , and seeing it so successfully treated , simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . I resolved upon giving that invaluable medicine a fair trial . I had been afflicted with Rheumatism many years , and at the timo to whioh . I refer was suffering Acutely . I determined , as I have said , on giving Old Parr ' s remedy a fair trial ; and accordingly sent for a box of the Life Pills . By tho use of these pills I am enabled tb say that I am now as well as ever I have been during the whole of my life . Thank God , 1 can now walk as well as ever I did . At the time when I first tried Parr ' s Life Pills , I could scarcely walk during the day-time ; and at night I could get no sleep . I am now enjoying excellent health , and sleep soundly , and lam free from pain of every kind . I am , Sir , youxs , &c . JAMES DANIELLS . ( aged SO years . ) Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . Parr ' s Life Pills are acknowledged to be all that is required to conquer disease and prolong life . No medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity , it is questionable if there now be any part of the civilized world where its extraordinary healing virtues have not been exhibited . This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . At this moment the Proprietors are in possession of nearly 580 letters from influential , respectable , and intelligent members of sooiety , all bearing testimony to the fet-eat and surprising benefits resultinS * from the use of the medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour such as no other medicine ever yet called forth , and places it in the proud distinoi tion of being not only the mosS popular but the mos * valuable remedy , ever discovered .

FROM THE NEW ! YORK HERALD . ( American Paper . " He hath created Medicines out of the earth , and he that is wise will not despise them . " — -Eoolesiastes , xxxviii . PARR'S LIFE PILLS . THE Letters which are here given , are from persons of the highest respectability and character .

T . Robert and Co ., 304 , Broadway . Gontlemen—Your Medicine named Parr ' s Life Pills having attracted a good deal of attention in oucity , I purchased from Mr . Zxbriskie , apothecary , hore , a 25 cent box , and attending to the directions printed on the wrapper round the box , I took the pills twice , and h » ve already felt so much relieved ot bile and heartburn , tha '/; sincere gratitude induces me to address you for the purpose of giving my testimony to their efficacy . I can only compare my health now to what it was before taking Parr ' s Life Pills , to being relieved from a violent attack of f . ooih acne . Neither myself nor my family will ever be without a supply . ¦ I am , gentlemen , Yoors gratefully . Nov . 2 nd , 1843 . JAMES MILLER . Mr . S . Towsey , Postmaster of Joslin ' s Corner , Maddison County , writes as follows : — Gentlemen—I have sold many boxes of Parr ' s Ltfo Pills , and they have given universal satisfaction , and it is my candid opinion that they are destined to supersede all the other Pills now in use . Their mild operation aud fine j balsamio properties will make them universal favourite * . ' I have used the Pills to my family , and find them to be an excellent medicine , and I shall recommend them accordingly . : To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of 11 Parr ' s Life Pills . " 304 , Broadway . Gentlemen— I , annot refrain from expressing my gratitude and thanks for the benefit which , under Providence , my family and self have received from the use of your invaluable " Pair's Life Pills . " I have used them constantly in cases where every other medioine has failed , ! to remove the most tormenting sufferings I experienced from habitual coltivencss and bilious attacks , sjcompanied by dim ness of sight and nausea , with complete nrosti ^ ien of the digestive functions . I am now complexly recovered , as I believe , solely by the use of " Pi vi ' s Life Pills . " Finding them so effic ious is my own case , my wife concluded to give thc : n to our children , instead of the uncertain and ignore-nt prescriptions which are frequently recommend * ^ in the drug stores . I am happy to say , that rotwithstanding the last summer was one of the nr » t sickly and variable known ! in New York for mt'ay years past , yet my children did not suffer a single attack of Eummer complaint whioh is so fa t al to "oung children . I consider " Parr ' s Pills" the best medicine ever used , and free from the objections of violence of action and prostration of strength , to whioh all others I have used are liable . You are at liberty to use my name , and on reference to me , 1 shall cheerfully confirm my opinion and experience of your PilKs . ! Respectfully , CHjAS . A . GR 1 GLIETTI . Formerly of Columbia-street , cor . of Delanoy , N . Y ., now of 204 , Broom street . No . 198 , Christie-street . Messrs . T . Roberts and t Co . — -This is to certify , that I have been aflV . cted for this twelve years with tbe liver complaint and dysepsis , and after trying all advertised medicines—then had recourse to a doctor , who pointed out to me the report of " Parr ' s Life Pills , " and after attentively and carefully taking a few small boxes , I began to feel like another being —and I ask my cure may be circulated through the United States , so grateful am I for my recovery from the grave . M . FLING , 198 , Christie-street . The above , with hundreds of other testimonials , can be seen at the Proprietor ' s Office , 304 , Broadway . ' This medicine can bo purchased of all respectable druggists throughout the United Kingdom . TO THE PUBLIC . An injunction in the Court of Chancery of Mxssa ohussetts , was lately granted against George Roberts of the Boston Times and Notion , Boston—( no way related to our Thomas Roberts }—for fraudulently attempting to issue a spurious article as our faramed and excellent modioine , " Parr ' s Life Pills . " The Chancellor , Judge Story , after ordering the defendant , &c . into Conn , ruled , that "the injunction be made absolute in every point sought for" —being a severe animadversion on the conduct of the defendent . Although our agents . ' are constantly on the alert , and the great dirficulty and expense of imitaing our labels on and around our boxes of pills , are strong safeguards , we are determined , at any cost , f > protect ourselves from the cupidity of dishonest persons , and the publio from the danger of a spurious imitation of our medicine . THOMAS ROBERTS & CO ., No . 304 , Broadway , corner of Duane-street . It will be seen that Parr ' s Life Pills havo extended their fame to the United States , and that equally there , as in England , they are efficacious . Beware of Imitations ; see the words " Parr ' s Ltfe Pills , " in white letters on red ground , on the Government Stamp . In boxes at Is \ h&-, 2 s . 9 d ., and 11 s . The number of Testimonials of Cures by Parr ' s Life Pills are crowding upon the proprietors daily and tbeir unsolicited testimoney witnessed by gentlemen of high reputation . ; The following Testimonial-is from one of the mos talented and respectable members of the Theatrrca Profession , Mr . T . D . Rice ( the Original Jim Crow ) —a gentleman whose high character for worth and integrity as a oitizen places his unsolicited and voluntary attestation of the excellence of the medicino beyond the shadow of suspicion ' : — " Gentlemen , —Having in the course of a long and arduous practice of my profession , contracted a tight , ncsa across the chest , with prostration of strength , and suffering much from the effocts of the labour attached to my peculiar pursuits , while in England I had recourse to your popular medicine , Parr ' s Life Pills , from which I received'great benefit . Finding a branch of your house in this city , I procured a few boxes of the medicine , and can now sincerely testify to their value and great efficacy ; and also to the great character they bear in the Old Country . " Your obedient servant , Thos . D . Rice . " 20 , Vestry-street , New York . " " Thomas Callaghan , 31 , Cumberland-street , Liverpool , was troubled for eighteen months with a water-Drasb , which reduced him < o a skeleton : he bad plenty of medical advice , whioh was of no use , read the advertisement of Parr ' s ; Pills iu the Liverpool Chronicle , and bought a smalt box , and before it was finished was as well as ever . ; ( Signed ) " J . H . H . Nightingale , Agent . " A decided Case of Consumption radically cured by Parr ' s Life ; Pills . " To the Proprietors . " Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the public at large , to acknowledge the most important benefit I have received from Parr's Life Pills . I was for nine years a soldier ' in the 52 ad Regiment of Foot , and was dischargedMn October , 1839 , iu consequence of ill-health , ( being deemed consumptive , ) after having the best advice her Majesty's service afforded . I returned to my native town , feeling that my days could not be long on earth . But by what almost appears an interposition of Providence my attention was directed to ; Parr ' s Life Pills , and by taking only two 2 * . 9 d . boxes , I was completely cured , and am thus a living monument to the good effected by this most valuable medicine . Within the last few days I havo been on a visit to some of my friends in a neighbouring village , where I was told that * It was like seeing one jrisen from the dead , to see me walking through their streets . ' I have recommended them to my neighbours , and many of them have experienced very great benefit from their use . " I am , gentlemen , yours , &e ., I " John Osborne . " Witness—James Burgess , Bookseller , Hinckly . Mr . John Osborne ' a case was pronounced by the regimental doctors to be incurable consumption . By the aid of this wonderful medicine , he is now bo hearty and active , as to be enabled to travel on foot siace the date of his recovery upwards of 1200 miles ~ " ^ ~ i IMPORTANT CAUTION—BEWABB OP IMITAHONS .

THE nevor-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times . They not only give relief in a few hours , where tho paueut has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortareB of this disease , but restore to perfect health in aninconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in Rheumatism , either chrop o or acute , Lumbago , Sciatica , Pains in the Head or Face , and indeed for every rheumatio or goaty affection ; in fact , such has been tbe rapidity , per * feet ease , and complete safety of this Medicine , that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there isnot a City , Town , or village in the Kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence . The following recent Case , selected from among those with which the Proprietor has been favoured , is submitted to the public : — TO MB . PROUT , 229 , STRAND . Hurst , Sussex , Nov . 6 1843 .

CHARGE OP AXTKHPIIXG TO DfcOWH X GlBL . A eve of an extraordinary and mvsJ ^ riooi cbar&c ^ -was brought onder the notiea of the mr ^ rtratea in Bir-» ifnghim , last week , Involving & eerious charge agaaiut a yonng man named Joseph Cerpen ^ , who rcid « in Buhopsgate-street , and -irbwe friends are r \ i& to ba wepccraile . The complainant was a young woman , about twenty-fonr vests of r ^ e of rather prepossr-jsjng appeaiance , named Am . Read , end irho * Htcd her ca ? 9 with great elearaea and tslf-pos £ ? nion . She said that she bad tsea residing i » Bristol with her family , when Ihe prisoner came to that eity about three years sgo , and formed an Jntfrnssy with her , -which eventually bused oat Tery unfortunate . The prisoner , however , promised marriage , andir ] th the consent of her friends , and nnder a firm fcclief that he wonld fnlfll his
engagement , she left home with him three months rjo , and came to Birmingham . On her arrival h * "re , howv BTtr , she found that the prisoner evinrid no disposition to make her his wife , r * 3 rignhig n a re—an , that his friends wonld sot sanction his enhaing Into roch a connection . She continued nnder ibets { sSrenmBrsnces to lire witk hi « i , nntil he •*?•> thrown out of employment , when , being unable i to pay the Tent of the lodgings which they o ^ -nx- ] pied , he went to his friends , Jewing her to shift for herself r . n well as she could . Th ' s was about three j ¦ weeks slurs , and on being thrown on ber own ra- ! » onroes sbe took a room in Btehopsg&te-Btreet , near ibe . boose of the prisoners molha . Here she re- ; » aisea in Tery distress ! d cireamBtinrss , occs-ionally I
Ksing tho prisoner , and urging him to the fulfilment of his promise , nnder the belief that things would go latter with both if they were married . He , howrr er , still pnt her off with one excuse or other ,- but continued to give her some little f-sistsnr ? , until Batarday night week , when an occuireiica took place which constitursd the ground of her present charge against him . On that night she went to . feed about ten o ' clock , and the landlady Boon aft ^ r followed , baring preriouafy fastened the doors . They had barely , botrever , fallen raleep , when the prisoner knocked at the door and requested to ess her . She sreerdingly got up , ri did the woman of the house , and they both went down stairs , when the prisoner told her that he had taken lodgings fer her at
Smethvick , and insisted on her going there with him at onee . The landltiy remonstrated with him , and said it was an unreasonable time of night to go Bach a distance , and that he had better put it off until morning . To this he would net agree , saying , 11 Where he was , there also she must be , " Seaing him determined , witness put on her clothes , left the bouse , and set out with him to Smethwick , a plr ^ a she had never before heard of . They went into the Broad-road , from thencs to the canal , and along the towing path nntil they arrived at a bridge , which she bad since learned wm r » Ued Ijee-btl&ge . "Op to this time nothing particular occurred , I : yond some alight recrimination ; but on arriving at the bridge , she fcscame somewhat alarmed , snd said it wn an
improper boar to go into a strange lodging . Upon this he said , "You do not want me . " She replied that she did , and wished to Id with no one elsa . "Upon this , withQut inaVing any further reply , be taz 1 bold of her , lifted her in iis arms , and threw her into the middle of the nxn ^ before she could offer any resistance . She immediately cried out " Mnrder , aurderl" called upon God to help her , and when she recovered her feet in the water , shs plnnged to the edge of the bank , still calling out for help and mercy . The prisoner , who had run along the bank , then returned , and said he would give her ids hand and help her out if she would t-ske an oath that she would not have him punished . Under
the influence of rarror , and in hope of saTing her life , she took a solemn oath that she would n » t bare him injured , and then he assisted her on the bank . This was ihe rabstanca of the complainant ' s charge , which , n we have already observed , wst stated in a clear and connected manner . The Magistiates eonsultej , and influenced apparently by the conduct of thB girl after the transaction , and her admission that the prisoners neglect was the rinse of his arrest , they decided upon dismissing the capital charge , but ordered the prisoner to entsr into sureties himself in £ 40 , and two others in £ 20 each , Mr . Hunting said sureties would ' 3 immediately tsndered by Carpenter ' s friends . The r- s , n msy ba supposed , * xcit : d a good deal of in'rsrest in Court .
Pike . —On Satorday last , the fold-yard of Mr . Conyerrt farm , Sunderlandwiek , near Driffisld , wr- d scoTered to be on fire ; but through the active exertions of the servants of Mr . Reynard , and others in the neighbourhood , the flames were arrested without hating done any considerable damrge . Had this not been the case , several stacks of corn , and probably the whole homestead might hare been destroyed . The fira-engine wa obtained from Drifueld , and parties went in great numbers to the place , but fortunately the fire wes then extinguished .

• DiSPEBAiE Attempt to Escape fkom Postsmouth Gaol . —Wjthia the laot fortnight , a plan has been organised by three desperate prisoners in the above gaol , to liberate themrslves . Their names are , Dennis Kirby , a private of the 49 th regiment , committed for trial for robbeiy with violence ; William Allyn , for stealing a pic ^ e of print ; and John Maclin also for felony . It appears from information commnnicated to Mr . Hunt , the governor , that the prisoners intended to have pat their plan into execution on a Sunday , and that l ?< tt Sunday was the day fixed for the purpose ; but on Sunday they were all secured . It is nsus for tho prisoners all to pass into chapel before the turnkey , who counts them as they pr ~ a , and when the whole number have gone in , he turns the key upon them , and awaits the canclnsion of the Eervice before he nnlocks the
chapel door ; thus » U the tenants of the prison are locked in , including the governor , and everv person convalescent . I ; was the intention of tne three prisoners above named to have lingered until the l » st in going into chapel , and then to have turned the key npon the whole community , overpowered Mr . Hill , the tnrnkey , and possessed themselves of the ke / s , by which means their liberation would have been easy . When the plot was dir covered , ilaclin offered 10 turn Queen ' s evidence , but Mr . Hunt being already , through a pecret agency possessed of the facts , dispensed with Mr . iisclin ' s services . Xlrby , the soldier , was promptly sent off to Winchester gaol , there to await his tiiaA at the next assize . Allyn and Maclin were both ironed ; and their iroas will not be removed until their trials , nor then , unless ordered out of the country . —Hampshire Advertiser .

The peal was composed twenty years ago , by Mr . Benjamin Thackrah , of Dewsbury , both in the internal and external part 3 , and was deemed by professional ringers impossible to be accomplished . Great praise is due to the said Society of Ringers for having performed this Herculean task , and particularly to Mr . James Firth , who so dexterously conducted this marvelous composition .

Ceuelty op Mehkket Ali ' s Son-in-Law . —The notorious Deftnrdar had a den in his garden , in which lie kept a lion , which became so tame that he ran about the grounds at liberty , and followed-bis master like a dog . But before he was quite domesticated , and while yet in confinement , one of the gardener ' s assistants was guilty of some error , ef which the superintendent complained to the Defturdar . In no case dilatory in passing jadgment , he ordered lhe accused , without going into details , to be cast into the lion ' s den . This order wai immediately complied with ; the beast , however , treated the pear condemned wretch like a second Daniel ; it not only did no harm , but , to the astonishment of the beholders , licked his hands . The gardener ' s
assistant ivas not the animal ' s attendant , but had occasionally thrown Eome of hia bread into the den in passing . The noble animal had not forgotten this kindness , and spared his benefactor ' s life . The Dafturdar , on hearing thiB was by no means pleased ; but bloodthirsty si ever , and without feeling the slightest appreciation for this act of generosity , ordered the lion to be kept fast ^ during the whole of the day , and the delinquent to remain in confinement : thinking , in the anger of ungratified isge , to force the beast to become the executioner of its benefactor . But even hunger could not
overcome the magnanimity of the royal animal , and the I -or gardener remained the whole day -anhurt in the den with the lion . In the evening he was liberated , but did not long escape the veBgeance of the tyrant , who , meeting him one day in the garden , where he had hm ? hed up a heap of leave ? , accosted him with — " Do * , thon ar $ so bad that a lion will not eat thee , but now thou hast made thine own grave . " Hereupon he commanded him to carry the dry leaves to an 4 > ven , and then to creep in himself When this order was executed , the tyrant had the . leaves lighted , and the poor wretch expired under the mo . ;* horrid tortures . —Travels in Kordqfan .
