ABERNETHY'S PILE OINTMENT . -rj- ^ H ^ T apaiafuland noxious disease the Piles ! and comparatively how few of theafllieted have been p ° rma-W nentli cared by ordinary appeals to Medical skill !

The Proprietor of the above Ointmctw , after years of ac : te suffering , placed himself under thetreatment of that eminent surgton , Mr Absrnethj , was l > y him restored to perfect health , andhus enjoyed it ever eince -srithoat tna slirhtest return ef the Disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during which time the eame Abernethiwi Prescription kufesen tbe means of healing a vast number of desperate cases , both in and out of tho Prooriet < 3 r ' s circle * of friends , most of which cases had baen un'ter Medical care , and some of them for a very consider , abletimo . Abernethj'sTile Ointment was introduced to the Public by the desire of many who had been perfectly Realtd by its application , and since it « introduction , the lame of this ointment has spread far and wide ; even the xTedical Profusion , always glow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any Medicine not prepared by them-TpTws donow freely and frankly admit tha ' t Abernethy ' a Pile Ointment , is not only a valuable preparation , but a nJrer-ftilinir rraedy in every stage aad variety of that appalling malady . Sufferers " from the Piles will not repent giving the Ointment a trial .

Communicated by Mr W . WHITE , Agent for Cirencester . Gentlemen , —Enclosed is a statement made to me in person , by a female who requests that her cafe maybe mada known , that others similarly afflicted may receive beneSt as she has done , through the use of Pake ' s Lifs Pills . 'I had been afnicted with a severe weakness , so much as to ultimately prevent me walking across the flon of the house . I applied to a medical man for his advice , but his skill proved to be all in vain . At last I was recommended by a person who had taken Pabb ' s Life Pills to o -ive them a trial . I did so , and before I took the whole of the first box , found myself greatly improved ; I con-Hnued the use of them for six weeks , and am now stronger and . feel better than I have bees for years past ; and while I live I shall bless tbe name of you and your Pabb ' s Life Pills . ' By applying to me , I have the libertj to refer any one to her at her residence . I remain , Gentleman , your obedient servant , W . White . —CireBeester , May 9 th , 1847 .

We glrs tbe fallowing from the Hobning Hebalb oi Saturday last : — BANKRUPTCY COURT Jems 23 . ( Before Mr Commissioner HolrOt / d . ) IN BE 0 W , M . A . BETNOIDS , ¦ The Chabtist ' Leadbbs . '—This bankrupt , thoCbar . list leader , came up on his own petition to pats bla last examination . He owes about £ 2 , 000 , and tbe assets aro £ 315 . Tbe tspensea exceed the profits by about £ 310 . It appeared that be was a bankrupt in Paris In 1835 : applied to , and was ole&red by the Insslvent Debtors ' Court in 1838 ; and was again a bankrupt in Paris in 1 S 40 . The present fiat la dated the 12 th of May , 1848 . ' No opposition was offered , ond the bankrupt passed ;
Now it muet have been well known to toe ecribe of tbe Hebald , as it iB to the world generally , that Sir Reynolds never was a leader of the Chartists , and that what , ever publicity might ba attached to his name , it is as a public writer , and not as a Chart la t orator . In March last , Mr C . iohrane calltd a meeting In Trafalgar , square , to petition agaiiiBt the Income-tax , which meeting ho abandoned to its fate and the police , Mr Reynolds addressed tbe assembly , and vre believe , judiciously adVised tbe people to disperse . This is tbe first knowledge we have of Mr Reynolds as a public speaker , and it might here be remarked that the Income-tnx is
not a | very likely subject for Chartist discussion . The brutality of the poltce on this , as on all occasions where thjy are engaged , gave some notoriety to the meetinj . Public meetings were held in the Metropolis , as well as the province ? , to elect delegates to tbe Convention , At one 'f-feeat ' , < ind immediately afttr the Trafalgar-square meet * in j , Mr Re ) nolda censured the polios for their vielence ; ho afceraardB addressed other meetlngs . and wao elected . nta public meeting hold In D ^ rby , to represent that town in tbe Conventien , Mr Reynolds took his float in tbe Convention , but left before their business terminated . So much for the leadership of Mr Reynolds ,

TOE ' SPECIAL' LOYALTY AND MORALITY OP LOUGUBOROUGH — LIBERTY OF THE / SUBJECT .
TO THB EDITOB OP THE NOlTHEBN 8 T 1 B , Sib , —I had occasion to be at Lougbborough on the Wednesday of last wetk , and , to ray surprise , I found tbe town in possession of the speoial constables and militorj . On BBtering , from Leicester , xrlth a smsll . party ot friends , I found a large open apace of ground filled with the yeomanry cavalry , who were riding round the equare , in front of the Wheat Sheaf Inn . On reaching tho door of tbe said inn , a rush was mode by some policemen , who selrsd our horse , but no farther obstruotlon WB 9 effered . I next asked » y way to the railway station , and was directed to cross tho Market-place . I passed through a number cf policemen , bat , on arriving at the Markot square , I found it defended by a numerous
body of special conBtabk-8 , and I was told that I bould not be allowed to pass . I remnnitratcd with the obstructiveB explained to them that I was a stranger , and they could havo nothing to fear from allowing me to pass , ttt noonday , and in an opoa raarkv't-piace . My reqaosfc was made in vain , and I was grossly insulted for my pains . I never » hall forget a Bhoit , gtumped-looklng little folio * , wbo was particularly officious . I wiab I could out . line his precious little , body . He is a short . nccked , porky-looking apo thecary , built almost like a jug , and possessing all tbe pomp and order of office . I felt so interested in this curiosity of natural history , that asked bla name . He answered , I will give you my
card sir . I am Mr BenseH , the chemist ; ' bristling up , otaff in hand , as If Mr Bennett was known to the w ., rlu a 3 a man of consequence . I nuked them to direct ma some other road , but was ngalB obstructed , and wai indobtod to a friend for being allowed to make my wny to the railw-y station , I was too late , and returned to Loujjhborouffh , and continued there tiJl five in the afternoon . On my return , I feund tbe door of the Wheat Sheaf Inn gunrdod by special constables , who refused to allow me and Mr Robert ? of Nottingham to enter the house , although tbey admitted any one to enter by a Bide'entrance , lending off the street to the back premises .
Tbe chops wore all shut , and business suspended , and , I must Bay , the conduct of the specials was far from honourable . I was laughed at , and mocked ; at < theugh asking questions in the civileat manner possible , and was eyo and ear . vritness to sights not tbe most seemly , nad to expresEionB of tbo moet coarsn and bestial kind . All this display was kept up throughout ths day , although Mr O'Connor had gone to London by the forenoon train , and all idea of an opeu-air meeting was totally abandoned . All these extraordinary preparations were made in a small poyerty . strlelien towH in
Leicestershire and for what purpose , tbink yon , reader 1 For no other than to overawe the poor , starving people , and destroy tbe privilege of public meeting in England We must no longer speak of publio meeting as a right ; BO right , foraooth!—right is too holy a word to be prostituted in a nation composed of slaves , swindlers , and U'illtsry dcepote . Bow dawn , you starved , enslaved , and diopiritail myrmidons—mako bare your fcaclm , you poverty-stricken menials , and thank Qoi , an <\ bleBB the glorious constitution , that you live in a country where you are not allowed to grumble , bat ' by the consent of magistrates and rulers .

Bleated reader , aiiRwer— - Amen i *
I can haidly conceive in these momentous times , that the local magistrates acted unadvisedly in those matters ; it is not a stretch of imagination , to conclude that Sir G . Grey had been consulted , and approved of the courso adopted ; but even then , I am at a loss to conceive the intention of all this display of physical force . If r O'Connor on Tuesday entered Sheffield , a most important town , is public procetslon , end was in bo way obstructed , and , therefore no disturbance occurred ; meetings were held , in Yorkshire , 'Lancashire , and the Midland Counties unmolested , ob Wblt-Mondsy , but , In London and Loughborougb , tbo rl & ht of tho citizen was destroyed . In London , there may have been some reasons to justify tbe conduct of Citizens Rotod and Majne , the provi . sional governors of the metropolis , ' { or Issuing their
official mandate against the proposed demonstration in Banner ' s , fields- ; previous riots , pstty disturbances , were at least a pretext on which to bang tbo cloak of power , and covtr the government from shame -for the time beta ? ; but even here , again , tbe public 'thoroughfares mere net closed against passengers . I crossed Blackfriars bridge in a cab with others , when the Kenningtoncommori meeting had just separated . During tho riot * id Bradford ' , when the military were stationed iu every inn and tavern , and eonktalii'D on duty meeting you at every comer , end skirmishing betwem the women and specials going on at MuocJicstcr-rood , groups of o « - lookerg were seen in every street , and I walked 1 throughout the town untroubled , no poor apothecary or starved tallow-chandler ordering ma off , or laughing in the pride of pitiable ignorance , armed with the pewer of law , and and being great in brief authority . I have hitherto thought that in England , whilst we suffered from the
slavery of wealth over labour , a id gold over capital , we at leaBt had a good deal of persons ! liberty , not pestered by tbe passport system of our continental neighbours ; bat if . Looghborough law be English law , then I have been . dreaming these past twenty j ears , and have fancied my countrymen have enjoyed a right which is discovered tobeipurely fictitious , I cannot unriddle tbe siege of Loughborougb , but it impressed my mind seriously with BOme thought that I will not forget . Blood , more blood , is panted for by the hounds of despotic authority ; it is not enoagh tbat thousands of men , women , and chlldien , shall be offered op every day at tre shrine of Mammon ; slow death will not do much longer ; the right divine of kings and princes must be once more appealed to ; the sword unsheathed sauet reek red in the sun , and olceb . coatcd , well-fed horeeB tromplo orcrtbo lean forma of starved men , women , and children—too true I too tod a thought .
Gunpowder sad printing were inventions of the same age : on printing reatu the rights of man ; on gunpowder the rights of croone and iceptreB , gold and capital : which of the two primitive impulses are moatpomr / ulin England , leader , I . cannot tell ; feopa mukoth the hoart sad , asd I still hope for the beat , but cannot say that the day of delivorance 1 b at band .

gg ^ g ^^^^ Q ^^^^ HfcV ^ BME ^ MWJHCWCfluVv SYMPATHY WITH IRELAND . AND FOR THE PATRIOT CONFEDERATE , FRANCIS LOONEY . A pnblie meetltiff was held at the Literary and Soienti . fio Institution , John-street , FitzrojMquare , on Tuesday evening , Jcme 27 th , On the ' platform we observed Councillor Brook , of Leeds , the member * of the Chartist Executive , and many leading members of tbe numerous Confederate clabs established in LondeD , Mr Stueqeon was unanimously called to the chair . Mr Lindut moved the first resolution : — ' Tbat the Conduct of the English government in arresting Francis Locney for merely asserting the right of Ireland to selflegislation , is a gross and iniquitous act of tyranny , end calculated only to augment our disaffection , andinerease oar exertions i » proeurc for Irc-land her iaalicsable right—a native parliament . '
Mr Samuel Kidd was then called forward amidst tho most hearty cheering , to second the resolution . He said he hardly autioipat&d such a truly Irish welcome ; there was a wide difference between the cold phlegmatic Scotchman , and the Connanght peasant , or tbe blue-eyed here ? of Kildsre . ( Applause ) England and Scotland had been wedded together by commerce and history , but there was a wide difference between tbe English and Irish peasant . ( Hear , bear . ) He disliked the esnt about races is general , but certainly the difference existed between the Ssxonand Celt—ay , as deep as that between Franco and Algeria . ( Load cheers . ) The resolu tion he held in his hand condemned the gO ' vetnment as tyrannical , in prosecuting Francis Looney , for simply declaring the right of the Irish to self .
government . It bsd been said that a country was known by her literature , it' this was the case , Ireland must indeed be a grORt DBtlPB ) for rn » ny of her soa » possessed the most brilliant geniUB —( loud Cheers , )— . and if her peasantry were . not quickly cared for—her aristocracy must fall . It might fairly be asked how m&ay of her children were born-who never cams to manhood , but who werestricken down by prematnre decay . He was fond of faclB , and ho should like to know was It God ' s dispensation that a million of her children should be stricken down with famine ? ( Great applause ) Tbia waa wrong . ( Hear , hear . ) He bad , when in Ireland , in the space offl brief walk , witnessed , and eouatsd forty . five families , who bad noither bouse , home , nor bed , save the hard turnpike road . ( Hear , hoar , and cries of ' Shame . ' ) With all
oar ills , here in England we bavo nothing equal to-tbis . Had John Mltchd said much more than he did say , he would tbeh have said ranch tea little to represent tbe woes and wrongs of his countrymen , ( loud cheers ) , and la the language of Jshn Mitchel— ' The death of a peasant was aft much to be feared as the death of a peer , ' ( Great applause , ) If the laud of a country be neglected , we might have external grandeur , bat at tbe some time be cursed with internal disease . ( Hear , hear . ) It might be said that you can leave such a country and go to more congenial climes , but like Disr&eU he did not like to leave the laDd of the Ilampdena and Sidneys , A man who was a traitor to hiB country was a thief to his own good name , and a vagabond to all eternity . ( Leud cheers . ) He took Mr Looney , of whom tbe resolution
spoke , for he ( Mr KydS ) did not know him , to be on honest , straightforward man , who thought his country badly done by , and tbat fee had said he - hated Lord John Russell ' s government of Ireland ; now preoaming for argument sake , that Mr Looney had said so—let him ( Mr Kydd ) ask , were there none to be found in the Honee of Commons whe h \ ted Lord John ' s government T What said Lord George Bdntinck the otker night , and wfcai , ssid . . Vfr \ Dlsraeli on the same occasion ? ( Reiterated oheerlng . ) Weil , then , why old uot the Attorney-Ooneral seiso on them ? He held , if it was wrong in Looney to bate , It mi < qualiy wrong la Bintlnck find Diira' li , and , therefore , these two gentlemen should be placed at tbe bar of Newgate , to take their chanca with LoonDy , or Looney should be set free . It might be
said thatLoone ; spoke strongly . True ; bnt , if he ( Mr Kydd ) found people warring against bis country , resisting all appeals in her behalf , ho should be induced to speak , and perchance sot strongly , also . ( Loud cheerB . ) Was this not the oase of Ireland \ But if Looney spoke strongly , and from the bottom of hit heart , his convlctions , he was no coBspirator ; for such a one spoke slonly , dressing himself in other men ' s clothes , taking care to keep himself oat of danger , whilst be placed other men Iu tho foremost ranks . For bis part , he ( Mr Kydd ) knew not why England , Ireland , and Scotland , should not each have governments of their own . In faot , be was not half pleased that'Sco ' . land had not put
forth her claim ; for snre he was , had she her parliament , elected by hor whole people , sittiog in Edinburgh that the Duke of Sutherland never would have been allowed to hare turned so many honest cottiers frera their homes , wanderers over' the - land . ( Leud cheers . ) Thus , tbe question was not merely a local one , affecting only honest Looney , but a national one . He owed Lord John Russell no grudge , bat looked on him as being entirely ignorant of the principles of good government , « nd looked forward to the'time when Hibernian , Scotia , and Britanla's sons shall enlighten biro , and cause our native land to be really the admiration of the world . ( Prolonged ofaeering . )
Tbo resolution was then put , and carried unanimously . Mr Hahiet tfeen came forward , and paid some high compliments to the Nostberk Stab , and « ai 3 , if no othor paper was prepared to do its duty that was always ready . ( Loud chetra ) He had no great ambition to leave his wife and family for the walls of Newgate , bat ehunld feel himself recreant did he not come forward to support honeet Looney , even at the rlek « f Newgate or Bermuda —( loud cheers )—he had , therefore , much pleasure in moving the following resolution : — That it U our flrmdotermtntition to support Francis Looney , and every other honeot man who may fall "within the mesbes of the law , while advocating the liberties of our native land , by every means in our power peonni&ry and otherwise . '
MrM'CsAZin a forcible speech , seconded' the resolution , and said , la Wb visits to Newgate lie found that Mr Lojney , by his wit and patriotism , made even the gleom of Newpate bearable . He h&d look « d in at a L&ndon meeting the other day , and founds gentleman , ( said to b » an editor of the Times , ) declaring that Englana « haa oright to hold If eland , fccca «» e she conquered n ** . ' H « ( Mr M'Orii ) at ' the conclusion of the gentlemen ' s speech , atked , If that was tho oas « , how much more right would Ireland have if she reconquered Esgland ?' ( Tremendous cheeriojr . ) The resolution was unanimously adopted ,
Mr Ckow in a most enthusiastically-eloquent speech , described In melting pathOBtho burning wrotajK of Irelaad , from the time of tbe pitch caps down to the period when tho transport chip sailed to Bermuda with the hero and . patriot , J « hn Mitchel . His spetoh was received with the most unbounded applause . He concluded by moving the following resolution , vihich was most ablj seconded by Mr 2 ? a » bt , nnd cowled rjnsnrfmpusly ;—' That this meeting Tialls nith pride and gratification the proposed union of the Repealers of Ireland in a National League ]; and being convinced that such a union will be most essential to tbe auccoss of onr movement , we plfldgo ourselves to use 6 « Cry ( Jxertlen in Us support . '
A vote of thanks was then carried by acclamation to the chairman , wbo acknowledged the compliment ; and this crowded and htgly-respectable meeting quietly dlspereed in the most orderly manner ,

On comparing tbe original deed constituting tbe Company , and giving the shareholders powers to call Foargus to account , with tbo Bill introduced by tbat worthy
character , it appears that he has Inserted a clause making that contract of no force or validity whatever ! Off being croflB-Huestloned at to the steps which he took Wget his account * examined and pasted , he aet tbe wholet room in a roar of laughter by stating tbat the auditor of his transactions was—who think you , gentle reader f Why , no other than our old saponaceous friend , the illu ? trleuf Mr Cuff *; ! Considering tbtt thousands of very poor , but very frugal , induitrioai , saviBg Individ , uais , have entrusted their all into the bands of this patriot from Cork , the members of the Committee , as fact after fact ia wrung and squerzed out of tho plotters of this precious scheme , are seen aad heard visibly and audibly to shudder—and it is our firm conviotion , that aa exposure of euch a bind will be the result ot making Chartism so stink in the nostrils of tho working classes that th » very Rama will become a symbol of reproach to its profeBiori .
Now , sir , having been present from the commencem ent of the investigation by the Select Gommitteo , I here publicly give the most decided contradiction to every statement contained in the above extract * That short paragraph contains no less than five vriU ful and deliberate falsehoods . We are told of the scenes whick ocourdaily in the comraittce-toom . Now the inference which the deluded readers of the Dispatch would draw from this ia , that the Committee sit every day , the fact being , tbat that body iias satf only on Frida y in each week since its appointment , except the last , wtten there were two sittings .
The rhetoric of some portion of this' rnoroeau is admirable . If Master Sidney was aa expert in the right use of metapbor , as heisin tbe black arts of lying , calumnyaod misrepresentation , he would not seek to chasten popular taste by writing about ' scenes BEARING FRUIT . ' But who expects to find either taste or scholarship displayed in the filthy columns of the degenerate Dispatch ? Time waa when its pages evinced , in no mean degree , these essentials of able journalism ; but the mantle of Lieutenant Williams does not grace the burly shouJdera of the vulgar Sidney Smith .
Let us not , sir , lose sight of the scenes ; tbey will certainly produce a grand result ; they will exhibit to the world that while ri * id economy has Roverned the expenditure ef the Company ' s fundai firm devotion , and strict . integrity hare guided the general management of their affairs . In the quotation above there is another malignant falsehood . It is there set forth , tbat the Bill introduced by Mr O'Connor will , if passed , render hfra altogether irresponsible to the Company . Now if this inflated scribe ha ? read the deed of the
Company , ( a very doubtful matter , ) and the bill introduced by Mr O'Connor , and then puts forth the above wilful perversion of truth , we can arrive only at this conclusion—that he is ' one of those abandoned wretches who , having repudiated the obligations of truth , and thrown off the restraints of conscience , submit to no other rule of oondaot than the prompting of a malicious mind and depraved heart . I have read both the bil and the deed , and humbly deeming myself as competent to pronounce an opinion upon the subject as tbe veracious and Sapient Sidney , I say tbat the simple objeot of Mr
O'Connor ' s bill is , the legalisation of the Company , and , therefore , the legal as well as tbe moral responsibility of all its officers . Why should Mr O'Connor fear responsibility ? flaa he ever attempted to shirk its penalties ? Has he not obtained , at his own solicitation , a Select Committee of the House cf Commons , to inquire into tt&pui thwughiht Dtvil ) every cirenmstflnoa connocted with the Coaapany ? What does this imply ? - — A shrinking from investigation ? Tbe cowai \ ice of guiit ? Or does it evin « . e a consciousness of reefcitude , and a dee > desire to hare it tested by ( he ordeal of publio aorut'ny ?
There is in this filthy , foul fabrication , & statement to the effect that , on bains asked who was the audio tor of hiB accounts , Mr O'Connor replied , that Mr Cnffay was and tbat the information relieved the Cammittee from a cold fit of shuddering ! by inda » oing an immoderate one of laughter ! I tell this would-ba assassin &f honeat reputation , that M ? O'Connor was asked no each question . I tell him further , for his information , what Mr O'Connor did say . He said , the auditors of his accounts were a special committed appointed for the purpose , af the annual Conference . Ilia accounts of income and
expenditure , upon the score of Land and buildincf , are produced to that body , by whom an auditing committee , is appointed to examine hi ; balance sheets , and report thereon . Suob waa the information upon this head , which Mr O'Connor gay © the Committee , and not that Mr Cuffay waa bis auditor , as the truth-telling Dbpatch has it . Mr Cuffay is , however , oneof the auditors of the Company ' s quar » terly balance sheets , and although book-keeping is not his profession , those who know him ate awara that his ability , as a careful searching audit : r , is unquestionable .
The crowning viliany of the above piece of BiU jnga gate consists ia the monstroui statement , that tbe Committee were seen and heard to shudder at the disclosures made during the investigation ! I shall takes very direct mode of rebutting this , by at once stamping it ?? s'bsse and brazen lie ! And let those strangers who attended the investigation , together with the bon . members of the Committee , aay who ia in the right , I , or the ' leader' icribe Of the wbbkly Dispatch . There is one cirjumstance connected with the conduot . of the Press-gaDg towards this investigation , whioh deserves our Dotics . Several of the daily and weekly joufn&ls have given reports of the proceedings of the Committae , and in doing ; so hare given such a latitude to their predilection for lying and misrepresentation , that on Friday , June 16 , it was unanimously resolved , by the members , to exclude them Altogether from the committee-roam .
Trusting that you will give these few remarkspenned to defend truth , and to unmask brazen mendacity—a placa in your columns , I remain , yours , A Mbmber of thb Land Compact . [ The above letter was received last week , but want of roam prevented its insertion in last Saturday ' s Star . ]
