      A BERNETHY'S PILL for tho NERVES and MU 9--CS . CLES . —The Proprietor of these Fills is a medical man . The brother of a patient of liis applied to Mr Aberntthy for advice . Ue gave him a prescription , and thete pills are prepared accurately from that prescription . The patient ' s complaint was a ^ nervous one , and it " was utterly impossible lor any one to be in a worse condition than lie was ; musculiir power was ilsolost in someparts , and liis legs fairly tottered undor him . He had a box ef the pills prepared , and tke effects were all but miraculous ; for riot only did the nerrousness leave him , but muscular power returned to all parts deficient of it . ( the proprietor has since tried them on hundreds of his patients , and he can conscientiously state that ' their effects in restoring nervous energy and muscular power have quite astonished him .

MELLIFLUOUS COUGH BALSAM . T 7 TEHY family ought to keep a constant supply of the Jji medicine , which is prepared from ingredients of tho mosthealing' , softening , and expectorating qualities , is a rich and » leasantp _ ectoral balsam , and has been given in numerous , cases with singular success . The extraordinary power which it possesses in immediately relieving , and eventually curing , the most obstinate coughs , colds , hoarseness , asthma , aud all complaints of the breath , is almost incredible , but will be fully proved on trial . In that unpleasant tickling cough , wliich deprives the sufferer so constantly o : ' re 6 t , it will be found invaluable , as it inotantly allays the irritation , a single dose affording immediate relief , and in most cases a single bottle effects a . permanent cure . For the hooping cough , it will be found an invaluable remedy , depriving these harrassiag spasmodic parexysme of their violence , and from its powerful expectorant and healing qualities , speedily effecting a complete cure . During the periodical attacks of the influenza , which have so aften occurred during the winter , many individuals h ive expressed to the proprietors that they have received material relief from its use , aud it may be recommended as a remedy of the first importance in that disease . Its effects in dissolving the congealed phlegm , and tausing a free expectoration , is truly wonderful , aud to persons afflicted with asthma , and chronic coughs , which render it difficult for them to breathe in a recumbent potture , a single dose has beeniound to enable them to rest with comfort . If given ia the early stage of consumption , it will speedily arrest and ultimately entirel y remove the most dreadful malady . A single bottle will effectually establish its superiority OTersvjejy other kind of cough medicine in repute . BXTBAOBBBfAllT CASE OF COnB .

      Mr Lbnneoin and the Miners' UNioN ,-It . wl 11 probably ba remembered by those who take an interest in the matter , that Mr Lennegan stated , in tno sourse of the discussion at Wigan , that the lecturers department of the Miners' Association a lone cost £ 187 , and upwards , in the shoit period ( . f two months . In proof of this statement he refers to what he pleases to designate an infamous document , namely , the balance sheet ef the association . Inis document is before mo while I wire , and I find , upon strict examination of its contents , that the whole o the expenditure , including the payment of several debts , together with the salaries of the Executive Committeethen consisting of five individual ? , d ^ es

      , not reach the amount specified by nearly £ oO . Mr Lenne gan knows this , too ; and in order to make good his position , he has lugged in a quantity ot extraneous matter ; such as the Executive and trave . lint ; committee bein » composed ofthecame persons , their drawing money from two funds , deputations by John Berry and others ; tbe balance sheet purporting to be a two months' one , while it only contains a ' Bix weeks' accounts—and concludes a most miserable attempt to shirk the question by asserting that he has proved hia statement . But softly , Mr Lennegan , you have not . You set out with asserting that ieoturine alono coat the Miner * ' Association upwards of £ 187 I told you this statement was utterly

      without foundation . I again repeat it , and defy you to prove the contrary . With respect to your statement about the balance sheet being , in reality , onlv a six weeks' one , I can on y say , that you are involving yourself more deeply in the odiousnees of either wilfully perverting the truth , or writing deliberate falsehoods . As regards Meadows , Cheethara , Marsh , and Berry , their characters will bear as strict an investigation , and I believe , will be proved a . little more unimpeachable than your own . I have now done with you , hoping , when next you write anything about the miners , you will keep ti the truth , and not designate any document infamous ( ill your communications are free from reproach . —William

      Grocott . , Arkolp and Nottingham —strike op tub Sihrt and Dbawkb Weavers . —Considerable excitement has prevailed in this place for the last week or two amongst the shirt and drawer hands in const qiierice of a Mr Carver , hosier and manufacturer of Nottingham , giving notice to reduce the coarser gauges on shirts sixpence perdoxen , and giving work out at the reduced prices both at Arnold , Nottingham , and other places . Before tho reduction the workmen were only receiving four shillings per dnzen for making the article , and yet Mr Carver feels disposed to take sixpence per dozen off , thus leaving three shilling and sixpence per dozen , or just threepence ba'fpenny » i shirt ; and if he succeeds , on some of the

      finer gaugea there will be a reduction of one shilling per dozen . The workmen are determined to resist this reduction by all the means in their power , and will submit themselves to the union bastile rather than work at the bated price . One of Mr Carver's workmen 'residing at Arnold , has been lately visited by some Christian friends ; ko has a large family ; they bad neither blanket nor eheefc to cover them . — nothing to eat in the house , nor had they tasted anything for the day except water porridge ; the wife was in a dreailful state of illness , brought on for the want of bread and otlwr common necessaries of life . Meetings have been held , and deputations both of workmen and respectable tradesmen , have waited up « n Mr Cnrver to indues him to give the original price : the deputation laid before him the distressed condition of his workmen at the present time , and that by this reduction their poverty aud misery would be increased . He informed the deputation

      that he was sorry for them—that he sympathi-ed with . them greatly , —hut that he could get i ; oods made cheaper than bis hands were making them , and it hia workmen cwuld not afford to work at the reduced price the frames must stand still . Thus ho would starve the poor fellows into compliance . A large and spirited meeting was held on Monday last , and deputations ot the workmen from Arnold and Nottingham waited ae » 'in upon Mr Carver , who still persisted in tho reduction . Another meeting was held in the evening , and the following resolutions were unanimously passed : — ' That we , the shirt and drawer hands working for Mr Carver , do cease work until he ennsenrs to give the original price . ' ' That we who are working for other manufacturers and who are receiving the full price do pay one shilling per fiame , weekly , while the strike continues towards supporting the hands on strike . ' 'That we , the workmen of Mr Carver . pledgo ourselves not to pay any frame rent for the time ...

      CitaiSLjE .- — SnoRMAKEBa StriivB . —h . strike has taken place he-re against a reduction of wages offered by Thomas Drinkall , master bnot and' shoemaker , to his workmen . A reduction of sixpence per pair on some articles , but on others considerably more . This reduction the men are determined to resist . The reason that we wish this t » be made public is , that he has been endeavouring to get men from other place ? , and we wish to put them upon their guard so as they may not be deceived by false statements . He has only up to this time succeeded in obtaining one man , n » ni « i Shopperd , whose nobbing propsnsitiesareweli known-to the bhopnntes of Newcastle and many other places .

      Lancashire . —Fellow Wo'kmen , —Arouse from your apathy and inactivity , and assist y . our brethren of Bury in their prcavnt struggle ,-for depend upon . it , should they bn compelled to submit , t he reduction wili' be carried out through every town and in every branch of factory oporative 3 where they have not a union to prevent it .

We entirely agree with every remark made by the editor of the " Star ou the subject . The reply to the charge of infidelity and the inser . tion of unholy advertisements is a 'hit—a palpable hit .

      FRENCH REVOLUTION . ( From Hie 'Edinburgh Weekly Express . ') Every observer of the Fronch political world must have long been prepared for eventful changes in that eountr . i ; but we must eonfess that wo hare been , in more senses than one , electrified by the changes which have so rapidly succeeded each other in the capital . The disgraceful and scandalous exposures which have been made—tho corrupt practices of the povernment—the perfidy ami insolent defiance oi Gii'zot . and the avarice and deception of Louia Philippe , have all brought down retributive justice from the will of a brave , insulted , and indignant people .

      Again , the brave National Guard of Paris have demonstrated the impossibility of governing a people by brute force , by cannon , or by fortifications . They willed that rk'hc should not be usurped by mkht , nor public opinion suppressed by incarceration . The press has nribly vindicated its insulted honour and violated freedom . Still everything has been calmly , firmly , boldly done ; and the very moderation of the people justifies the changes they have enforced ) aa well as theirright to make them . AH hail , the Parisian phalanx of democracy—3 II hail ! the brave men of Paris . Now liberty be ' ckon . 3 you onward in a dorious career ! Let France now pet Europe an immortal example of popular integrity , justice , nnd social and political redemption ; arid it she holds fast what she has got , Louis Philippe may not have lived in vain for the . liberty of the world . ;

      Thh Builders of- ' thb Barricades . —The men looked pale—but resolute and fearless . Some uttered not a word , but silently and rapidly worked at getting Up the paving atGnes . ¦ Some mounted on the lamp-posts waving their bats and exciting the mob . Some laughed , and seemed to act under the effect of an excitement more or less pleasurable . Amongst them I noticed the most opposite extremes , in point of aspect ; amongst fresh handsome faces appeared visages the most scowling I ever beheld . Some were well armed , and had abundance of ammunition—ene man to'd me be had passed the whole of the previous night mailing cartridges—relying on the pillape of a j ; un shop to isup . ply him . with a gun . . The majority were , however , scantily supplied—on the average , I think , they had not enough for a dezen rounds . Several were mere bays of fifteen or sixteen : these were among the most active ai . d eager , if not the most resolute . I liad but a few minutes for observation—"

      forga troop of horsemen galloped down tho street , sweeping - everything before them . In the Rne Gruntet and St Martin , murderous conflicts took place across the barricades . The soldiers were marched up to them to destroy them , and received the fire of the ni'jb at the very mouth of the gunsreturning it in tho same way . In all the groups in which I have mixtd the cry is for a leader—^ he peapiA are almost as furious with the Opposition for desertiug them , as with , the ministry for brinpinst cut the tmops against them . Very few h 3 ve any distinct idea what they are Jfi » hting for . They reply , ' fte « form . ' but if you ask ' what reform $ ' they say — ' Mais la Iteforme quoi ! They are hungry and miserable , and they fight under the influence of a blind instinct ,. that for them any change must be ad » vantageous—at a vague but bitter animosity aaainsfc their oppressors—jjoaded to exasperation at the sight of the troops . •• • ¦ . . .

      The Bots of Paris . —Amidst all this , bloodshed the scene is . not ' without itshumourg . On the Boulevards the gamin de Paris is in preat force , and distinguishes himself by bis usual antics . There is one perched in every tree—perched aiEon ' g the branches with outspread arms , in the mo 9 t grotesque attitudes , grinning and hooting , surveying and dominating the tumult—swaying and ba ' ancing their little impish bodies and heads in a state of imhscribable ^ excitement . Their piercing ' -voice ' s echo shrilly tLftgn-li roar of the rasing tumult ; belew ; and they dare , -, by insult and louk , the municipal KUards . ' even ^ hile they pnas with their ; bayonetvalmost grazing theyoune rascals . .

      - Ouriositi Pveecomtno FEAB .-rOne very remarkable circumstance that I have noticed is the fearlessness of the women , who crowd into the thick " of the tumult , yelling andtossint ; their arms , and often Tfr ma \ n when numbers of . the men have given ground . Ihe Boulovards swarn with lorettes , elegantly dressed , who watch the movements of thetro ' ops , and mix in the proups inquiring and repeating the news' with the utmosveuriooity and interest . A gentleman to whom I told this remarked ho had been struck with the same fact ; He said that he and a friend werewatching the conflict at a barricade in the Rue Sfc Martin , and they were . surrounded by about twen ; y work Kirls , probably sempstresses . Suddenly a discharge of muskets took place , and the bullets flew whistling past , and rattled against the walls inimedi » ately over their hea'ls . They all fled , and took re » fnge . under a neig hbouring archway ; but , the firing having ceased , the' girls peoped out cautiously , asw went forth one by one , till at last he and hia lriend were lefc alone .: ' We thought , ' he added , laughing , ' that as all the women had gone , we might venture forth a ? ain > and accordingly we did .
