Aberdethy's Pfle Ointment was introduced to tne public by tae desire of many who had been perettiy healed by its application , and since its introduction the fame of this ointment has * pread far and wide : even tne Medical Profession , always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any medidie not prepared by them- i eaves , do now freely and frankly admit that Abernetay ' s Pile Ointment is not only a valuable preparation , but a < . neverfailingremedyineverystageandvarietyofthatappallingmalady . , . „ - . .. ~ -, Sufferers from the piles will not repent giving the ointment a trial .

ARE ACKSOWLEDGED TO BE THE BEST MEDICINE Bf THE WORLD . In introducing the following Testimonials ta the notice of tbe public , it may not be out of place in giving a few observations respecting Parr ' s Life Pills . This medicine has been before the British puVlic only a few years , and perhaps in the annals of the world was never seen sue oess equal to their progreBs- jihe virtaes of this Medicine were at onca acknowledged wherever tried , asdrecom mendation followed recommendation ; hundreds bad soon to acknowledge that Parr ' s Life Pills had saved them , and were loud in their praise . The startling facts that were continually brought before the public at once re . moved any prejudice which some may havB felt ; the continual good which resulted from their use spread their fame Jar and wide , at this moment there is scarcely a conatryonthafaceofthe globe which , nas not beard , of their benefits , and have sought far supplies , whatever might be the cost of transmission . The United States , Canad ., India , and even Chinahavehad immense quantities shipped to their respective countrios , and with the same result as in England—Cstveksxl Good .

FmeIbdv—^ -appealing to you on this oo caBlon . Ifdo tbyconsi ^ tra ' g It to be my duty a ' sa menv her . of your socleTtyj ' and ' an enemy to oppression , I feel somewhat astonished at the attempts made by som » of oar Manchester members now holding office , » 6 sow . th » B « sds of discord amoogstoar body , when It is | w 4 ll known ' to those memhera who are attempting it , that BOibing ieii than a solid square « f our whole body is sufficient to repel the repeated - attaokt of onr enemies . : It is bnt
a few weeks since the body of our members , oonsldsred that important ' , rule referring to . the- banking of our monies . It would be unjust for me to say that they were all Ignorant of the working of our banks , ^ rerious to Mr Selsby arid others attempting to en » h the Bpirit of inquiry , by issuing his partial circular which the public are all well acquainted with ,., That circular , was framed to entrap the ignorant , ; and to a certain extent It has succeeded , 'but not wltbout ' expodng the writer ' s display of ignorance of the subject on which he was writing , wbon he stated that tba society was not regl g . terad according to law . But I would not hate blamed him for being ignorant of the subjett , had be and bii colleagues shown themselves open to conviction , bnt , on the contrary , he appears to be as prejudiced as ever , or
els * he U ashamed to acknowledge hit ignorance . 3 ut this ia not the case with a great number of the members who recorded tbeir votes against the Land and labour Bank , These member ? acknowledge that since this paper war has been cairried . on , they hays had their eyes opened on the subject , and had thiy another opportunity of recording their votw , Mr Selsby would have to an * nounce a different majority . It may ; ' afford him , in the meantime , a great amount of satisfaction to see bis trap work' so well as to catoh Urn a majority of 990 , out of a body of upwards . 7000 members . Mr Selsfey may answer , they did not all rote . No , they preferred waiting until they got better acquainted with' the subject , rather , than vote in ignorance . ! Bat bur would-be dictator , could net have brought hit infant trap into
operation , had he not broken through' bur general laws in defiance ef our delegate meeting , without Hiking the content of our members ^ but he immediately after got the breach made up > in the shape of a resolution from the Executive , that neither . he , ' nor kny other mambsr shall do so again ' ., I likewise perceive that Mr Selsby has succeeded inobtaining a resolution from the Executive Ceuncil . U the effect . 'That we , the General Executive , do Instruct : fill blanches vrho have to deposited their funds in the , Land and Labour Bank , to withdraw the same within twenty-ono days from this date , Not . 6 tb , i " 8 i 7 . * Now , impartial readers , you will have perceived a precedent ' which' may be acted upon by the Executive Council with the assistance of Mr Selsby , which may be detrimental to the stability of our society , : We have laws ; relating , to the banltiagof onr money ,
and those laws must tot bo trampled , upon by our Exa . ciitive Council , as I can draw ho other , conclusion from the . above { resolution . We are told in a grave sort of a manner that thoir only ' object is t » ' secure tba best interest of the society , and thereby restore that tranquillity and unit ; amongst us , which is so essential to the welfare of the whole , and tb . ej . hopa that any farther inter , ference on the part of those that are favourable to the Land and Labour Bank will be avoided . I Would a 8 k who was the party that commenced this unconstitutional interference with the rights of the branches ? Let Mr Selsby answer . But I have a better opinioa of the branches who have deposited thtir . funds in the Land and Labour Bank , than to think they are going to allow pr » ju ' 5 ice and ignoranca to overrule inoonfnted reason and arguments ,
My friends , I shall now call your attention to the con . sistencyof some of our leading members : When this so-called Important question was under discussion , a Mr Newton ; of one of the London branches , got np in his place and read several columns from the Mancdbstee Exahimbb .. wrote by one who styles himself * One who has Whistled at the Plough , ' making very grave objectibnato'the' Land and Labour Bank , ' for the purpose of prejudicing'th ' e minds of the members against tbosald Bank . Another member got np to reply , and wished to read an answer' from the ¦ Stab , ' but no , that could not be allowed , as it was not society business , but I suppose the'Whistler ' s'letter was ! . .,
What renders , the above gentleman s inconsisteBCy more elarmg is , that when Mr Selsby and hig colleagues were in trouble in < the Newton case , ' the earns Mr N « w . ton attended many meetings in London , ' and moved votts of thanks [ to the editors and . proprietors' of the Nusthebm Stab , for their noble conduct in eipousing the cause of the . victims in the columns ef that paper . New , mark the difference ! Because the Star had served their ends , they would now willingly lend their aid to crush it If they oould , but ItrustthBt the generous hearted proprietor will not take these few aristocratic dandies of our trade as representatives of tha whole . I should like to ask Mr Selsby , where would he and his colleagues have been today , had it not been for the ne-ble exertions of Mr O ' Connor , and the indomitable Attorney-General for the people , Mr ' W . P . Roberts ?
A word sr two with the members of our society who have joined the Land Company . A great deal can be done individually . As an example , we at Swindon have formed a money club to aid and assist the BaDk , as a since we have started , upwards of one hundred pounds have been collected and deposited in the Bank , Recollect this has been done by small subscriptions , seme paying- sixpence , others one 'Shilling . ' We make one pound a jrize , and ballot It , and tend it ' off to be credited to the individual who has gained the prize . So by the same means a thousand pounds might easily be raised . Yours , respectfully , . DiYIB MOMSON . 5 Bath . street , New Swindon .

CRUEL TREATMENT OP THE POOR . TO TBB EDITOS Of THE NOMHE&V STAB . Sib , —I shall be under the greatest obligation if y » U will insert the following in the Stab ; ills an exposure of the base , cruel , despotic , and unchristian poor law authorities in the town of Merthyr Tydvil , As your correspondent was proceeding through High-street , the principal thoroughfare in this town , I saw a decent , prodenUlooking woman sitting by the side of a wall , a little boy sitting by her side , and an infant in her arms . The mother and little boy . were crying bitterly , and almost perishing with the cold . It was frecxing hard at the time , and it was about four o ' clock , p . m . I stopped and inquired what was the cause of her distress , when ibe told me the following pitiful tale . Her husband and herself came here , about nine weeks ago , in search of employment , and just as he got into work he was taken ill and died , and she and the two children . were left wholly destitute . She had sold all her husband ' s clothes and
her own , and was at last forcod to apply for relief . She mad ? several applications but to no purpose . About eight or' nine days ago the youngest child , about two years old , was taken ill with the amall . pdx it was then in her arms in a dying state . She showed it to me . The Bijht was truly awful—it was in fits and frozen with cold . I gave her the means to procure shelter for the night , and several friends came forward and did the same . I have learned since that the child died that night . She bad a note from the parish doctor to apply to the authorities for relief , but they would pay no attention to her
nor the doctor , u is only a few weeks back a man was on the point of starvation and applied for relief , but to no purpose . He broke . a square of glass in a grocer ' s window , and then he was taken into custody . We hava about forty-five or fifty ministers of the gospel in the neighbourhood , professing to be followers of Jesus Christ , ana there is but one of the whole lot that will come forward to denounce this tyrannical system , and he is too old and feeble to do much . I a ' sk , is this nbriitlan iiogland , where there is so much boasting of charitable institutions , and the people are left to perlih in tb . 9 * lpe 6 ts 1 D . R . Moboah .

CONFLAGRATION AT HOXTON . One of tbe most extensive fires that has occutte in the metropolis during the present sew , broksot shortly of tor four o ' ciocR on Monday afternoon , i Pitfield-atreet , Hoxton Old Town , consuming , t fore it was subdued , property jalued at several thw sand pounds , and for upwards of five houre , causk the greatest confusion to prevail in that dense ] packed neighbourhood . The premises in which t ! disaster commenced belonged to Messrs Laurence ai Co ., timber-merchants and builderssituate in Pi
, field-street , but extending into Queen-street , Boo street , and Garden-court . These were of a mostei tensive oharacter , the timber-yard itself beiri several hundred feet long , and of a proportioiiat width , which before the conflagration began , n literally covered with piles of deals , stacks o veneers , and other 7 a | uable property . There wer also sundry manufactories for the joiners , the cai p ^ ntere , and the painters , contiguous to which to the back premises belonging to the houses inth before-mentioned streets . ~
The engines arrived soon after the outbreak o the fire , which , by the period this assistance bad ar nved , had assumed a most fearful appearance , ( h greater portion of the workshops , and nearly a do ' zei lofty piles of timber were wrapped inflames , andi at once became apparent that the subduing of tt fire would be a work of great difficulty . The firemen mounted the tops of the aurroundin nouses , and by carrying the hose with them , wereii expectation of befog able to confine the flames to tin premises belonging to Messrs Laurence . Unferto aately they \ rere doomed to disappointment , and not withstanding their utmost exertions the flames m blown into the houses in Queen-street . One ta double house of three floors , first became ignited
whioh being filled with oils and colours , very ffl minutes passed away ere this building was one shee of flame . From thence the work of destruction con turned to travel down the sweet , firing the roofs aw backs of the houses belonging to Mr Webster , bed stead-maker and japanner , No . 5 ; Mr Coombcs tootmaker , No . 6 ; Mr Dunning , general turner No . 7 ; Mr Wybrovr , cbair-maker , No . 8 ; ami M ™* t cow-keeper and dairyman , No . 3 . By orde of thechief officers the firemen brought all their fore totear upon this , last-named propert y , andhappil the further extension of the flames in that directio was soon arrested . Meanwhile , the fire continue to travel in Messrs Laurence ' s building , firing stect upon stacks of timber , until several hundred squM feet of them were completely enveloped .

HORRIBLE-MURDER AT MADRID . Madbid , Nov . 52 . —A murder was committed oi Tuesday last , which has given rise to the strange ^ reports , though at first it appeared merely an ordij nary case of robbery as the object , and of murder aa the means of effecting it , Senor Fullers , ch » pla « S of the Duke and Duchess of Kianzares , occupiei aj house or suite of apartments , situated in the lowe d story of the palace of the latter , in the Calle de laffl Rejas . The only person living with him was a female housekeeper , whoisBpoken of as being good-looking though not very young . It appears that the ch&pUn had gone out on the afternoon in question to pur * chase some books in the Calle del Leon which is
, quite at the other part of the town . He returned at rive , and found the unfortunate woman lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood , with her head nearly cut off , in fact only retained by some fragments of skin . It is said that there were marks on her person ffhuQ indicated that she made a desperate resistance . A gilt button , -with some blue cloth attached to it- . said to have been found on the ground . No cnej were heard . The murderer , whoever hewaSiW " washed his hands afterwards in the wa sh-hand basin It is astonishing howjlittle the journals occupy themselves with the murder committed in the palace < M Queen Christina * , It appears that the ehaplin has
been arrested , but that he is able to prove tnsi w a able to prove that he had been away fof 10 " hours when he returned that afternoon , while w > medical men who were called in state that the murder could not kvra been committed more than tDreequarters of an hour before he saw the body . * should be observed that there is a constant gm' ™ soldiers who parade before the Palace , *™ $ Z neither the sentinels nor tbe pwter of the w ** " ^ menthad Been any one enter or leave about h * time , and consequently the inference that it w * have been committed by some one in the ¥ ai * "Li almost beyend doubt .

IT IS asteange anomaly in the practice and projress of medical science in this country , that amongst all the benevolent and noble institutions established for the alleviation of human misery , there exists but one devoted to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of the Skia . It is a truth well . knowa to the members of the faculty ; tbat the ravages of these stubborn and enduring plaguvs of human life are more extensive than those of any other known disorder , there b » ing little short of hulf-a-millioa of patients annually seeking rolief . If we turn our eyes to France we shnll find tbe , importance of this subject
fu'ly rccognued , and the exertions oi men ef science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St . Louis—a mag . nificent institution devoted to the cure of . Skia Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present day nriteB thus : — ' Sinoo the grave has closed over the labours of Batemas , the culture of Diseases of tht Skis in this country / as a dis . tinct branch of Medical Science , has slept . Hot so in France : successor after successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has glided through the moving panorama of life ; from the days ot Lorry to our own , tulSt . Louis Hospital has beeorae no less deserving of fame than St Louis , the tutolary shade of that magnificent establishment . ' / ' * . .. ¦ . . -..:. • : ; . _ Surely here is an example to this country which we are bound jsalously to emulate . 'The writer feels that the mportance and necessity of a siinlar establlsbment in
Jiingiasa can nover be too ranch insisted upoB . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and the almost insurmountable difficulty | of acquiring accufaW knowledge as to their modes of treatment—connected with the immense numbers of the suffering partios—iren . der this desideratum actually the greatest under whieti these islands at present labour , inasahs'OTy point ot 85 AW . Theae disoascs iir * so numerous av ;> mnltiform in appearance and effect , and present such » n infinite va r iety in diagnosis , that it is hopeleBS to expect ' any ap . proachto specihe remedies from th » uncertain - results of Indmdualand scattered practice : . i ; Notwithstanding the laudable endeavours bftheyarious British Authors who have written upon thissubjectand the highest "talent has not been wanting in the res . pect-stul , of actual curative progress little'or nothing has been achieved ; and this ,. plainly , from-the want of a theatre of actio"ri , where the operations and results of curativs appliances might be ' ocularly tested . comnared .
and treasured up w the garner oi experienced Hear Dr Watson on this subject : — 'To become expert , says he « 'iu the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in curing such of them as are curable by our art , you must see ( hem vnth your own eyes . Yarbal descriptions of th ' elr change . ful characters are of comparatively Uttle service or interest . They ara among the things that require to b 9 oeulissubjecta fi daibus . ' . Even pictured reprasentatioia convey but « n inadequate notion of the morbid appearances they are designed to pourtray . The lecturer on Skin Diseases should have patients before him towhose bodies hecould point . ' The opiiiions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of thww views . Writers may alassify and sub-classify , and' arrange under g « nera and species , as the late Dr WiUan and his pupil , Dr Bateman , have done , with consummate skill and ; unwearied industry , but wanting the means of reference to actual cases and personal observation and comparison , their efforts are thrown away , and tho ravages of disease unabated .
Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to afford an opportunity to all who may be desirous of co-operatiug with him in the advancement of this hitherto neglected department of medical science , Dr Innis has tpened the , above-named Dispensary at Hamp : stead-street , Fuzroy-squsre . ; Hoping to see the day when we shal Inotbe behind our French neighbours in the means of investigation afforded by the establishment of an ample institution exclusively dedicated to the treatment of Cutaneous Diseases , Dr Innis , in the meanwhile , earnestly invites all who feel interested in this important subject not todespise the 'day of small things , ' but to unite with him at once in carrying out this infant Institution , which has for its immediate and special object the testing of the princi ples upon which our foregone practice has been based , with the actual operations of nature under disease .
