      AKE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE , THE BEST MEDICINE IX THE WORLD . This medicine has been before the British public only a few years , and perhaps in the annals of the world was never seaa success equal to their progress ; the virtues of his Medicine were at once acknowledged wherever tried , and recommeaiiition followed recommendation ; hundreds had soon to acknowledge that Pae& ' s Life Fills had saved them , and were loud in their praise . The startling acts that were continually brought btfore tie public at enceremoved any prejudice which some may fcave felt ; the £ bntinual good which respited from their use spread tbeir amefdr and wide , at this moment tbere is scarcely a country on the face of the globe which has not heard of their benefits , and h * ve ssught for supplies , whatever might be the cost of transmission . Tee United States , Canada , In 4 ia , and even China , have had immense quantities shipped to tbeir respective countri s , and with the « ame result as in Eneland—Ukivebsal Good .

      TO THE IDITSE OP THE NOBTHEBN 8 TAB .

      of tho magazine , I found my letter was treaty as thoso of others have beoD » -not even acknowledged . Frosi th « eutjoct of my letier possessing but little sympathy <» i h Eoglisb editors , the editor of tho Witness no doubt feels tbat he m ^ with impunity retail misrepresentation at th « rato of two pages for a farthinir . But I hope , sir , you will allow the let' . or a place in your paper , aad thus prove that there is a medium through which the public may look os both gidosof a question . Perhaps tlie editor oi the Withesb thought my remarks too fir . e , and ao felt hltnsatf excuatd for their txcluslon from his pagea . I do not think it at all necea 6 ary to conciliate an editor in asking him to in-» ert what would tend to rectify the false lmp > r ? 66 ion produced by his editorship .

      Lat us look at tbo tirac fsct , which luolia no impoaing when backed up by declamation . That Ireland is made to sustain a less amount of taxation , in proportion to its populatiou , than England , is a fact with whioh most people are acquainted , and BCflrOB admits Of being \ tm claimed S 3 souio new dfscovtry . But , tint this involves another fact , that Ireland doea not bear her share of taxation in proportion to her roaouro « B , remains to be provod . Ought Ireland , without anything that can bo called manufneture , bo made to pay taxea on the same articles , and to the same amount as England , with hrr stupendous power of producing manufactured goods Thcro can be no difficulty in anticipating the reply , which an honest impartial mind would return . In the

      ievyieg ef t » xes are there no circumstnncJB to ce conaid ' . 'rod , but simply the area of a country , and the num . b' -r of inhabitantfl ? And would it be just to tax each intmbitantof Ireland in tho aamo amount as each in . habitar . t of Eagland , where In one manufacture alone , tint of cotton , it la estimated that capital to the amount of £ 30 , 000 , or £ 35 , , 000 is veste . 1 ; and the produce of which manufacture i * estimated to average in value from £ 25 , 000 . 000 to £ 50 , 000 , 000 annually ? Then take into account its manufactures of hardware and pottery , and others that will occur to the thoughts , producing a vast annual revenue , besides its mining operations , and the claim on behulf ef legislative bencvolenco , on the ground of the relative taxation of England and Iroland , will be considerably qualified .

      Tho nut reference is to Irish exports , Tfee . ° e , tinder different circumstances , would afford an index of prosperity . Bu » , as imports and exports regulate each ofhf r , in Ireland they go for nothing . Tho greater part of the exports from Ireland ban ! -: een provisions , ond if the price were returned in specie , to bo expended in the purchase of Irish BiftBufactures , would ba a benefit to the country . But this is not tho ease , it io an exchange for articles manufactured * Eng land , which , if manufactured at home , would omploy the population who aro idle , not from nature and disposltoi , r . a is scandalously reported , but from want ofcmplojment .

      The case attempted to bo made out gains but little support from the fact on savings banks . It simply shows whitt no one ovtr attempted to deny , —that there area few millions of pounds in Ireland . Tho amount in thoso bstDks , It divided , would givo ubou ' . twenty two shillings each to each inhsbUant—no very cler . r proof of the people being rich—or are not a ' land of paupers . But It is iutended to show progress since the union . To do bo tbo comparison should bo mado batwi * " S 6 M 0 p . riod previous to that event and some periods sub « equvnt , and not between periods since 1829 . But does it really provo that , since 1829 , the peoplu have had more mouey to deposit in savings bankB , and , therefore , evl-< . '• ncis thi ir progress ) ? I am slow to admit such preiof . TiuxHffrrent period * , indicated in your tables , afforded opportunities for exhibiting the nature of such

      depoekurfes , en < J Che dcair . iMeness ot tho people investing what they could spare , that th < y might augment by interest as well as encourage providence 1 . The different periods have been times of disturbance in the country , which caused people , aspEotall ? in tha rurol districts , to secure wfcat money thoy had by truating it to the care of others , with whom it would ba safer than in their own keepiug . This by no means proves that money bae lacrossed , It only eliows tbttt what Ihfl people prOViOU ' . ly ted in their own houses they have put info saving !' banks . This will appear evident if it be noticod , ttmt in the year 1816 , tho seas ' n of Ireland ' s gr . at suffering , the amount ef df poiits was greater than in privieus jears , though trado and agriculture wero gre . tly depressed in tbh year , which shows that tho Dumi at all available were placed in the bunks .

      You ask , ia relation to the increase of tho loan fund circulation , — ' Is thi re no indication of progrees here !' Surely it iiunaccouotablo how Buch a deduction can be dependant on such a fact , Ia it proof of a man ' s progress thut a man gets into debt ? I was in Ireland in 1816 . I knew several poor , who from wont of emplojment and the enhanced prico of provisions , were appMcanta for loans , with the hope , us they expressed it , that ' times would take a turn for the better ; ' and I have known theseperbons' applications to be rejected , brcauso of tho extent of tho ( Jem ' . nds on the funds , end tho difficulty of poor people obtaining such securities as were then demanded . Ilad bucU applications been received , an-3 tho ( jmount of loan extended , would tt hove Bcrved Mr

      Martin as a pnef that the country yvbs progressing J If oo , he must bavr ; discovered some unkuowu proctsa of conclusions . The came error marks the lnftrenco from tho incrcQSO of iDomy or-lers in tbe Post Offlie . Afr Martin uses it to 6 how the iucreaBe of money , but if examincdhtpeaththesurfaco it will prove ( he very contrary . The lime was ono of suffjtiog , friends sent to friend * for help , either as a loin tr gift , no matter which , eo the present distress could bo mitigated ; wherever a rosponsc could be given it was prompt . If it were not in the poiv . r oi' th < ' person from whom relief was sought , that perEon npplicd to 6 orae other friend for the loan . f tQO necessary amount ; and in this way I bavo known tivo ori ' era to bo taken in the Post Office for the oamo

      poun j or ten shillings . In the dlmlruiiun of cases tried in dtbtort' court ? , I draw , as in the former coses , ncoppoeito conclusion to that ofllr JInrtin . Will he say honestly , that the courts is those periods exhuk p . fair view of the transactions of debtor end creditor , &nd th < t they indicate progress ! ? The debtor was of . tn > Xi nipted from le ^ ul suit , because ot his being unable to nn ct thn e " enirnd of a credlior . TJjtro jvas a feeling oi ite biin # ef uil to icltu a man from his family , « nd confine him fur a debt which he was unablo to puy , but which , if times improved , might be discharged .

      Thus there wjjb a temporary su ? ptnaion of prosecutions for debt , Indecel , mngittratts wero verj chary oi confining for suits for debt , v . hich tLey generally rci ' uaod to do WHtn any arrango . nent could be effected between tho parties , wbicli g : tvo evan a remote pru 6 pect of tho debt being paid . Tin re the fee-ting that in rirotecaiing the suit expensto should be incurred to no purpose , operated to prtvont prosecutions for debt . I have often bewd it s-iid it would bo ' throwing good money afttr bad . ' And fut thcr , from tho ineecui ity arising from the general depression , the same facilities did not ( ii » t for getting into deb ? in those latter periods , to which reference has been nndo by your authority . Men were not willing to be creditors , as the hopu of being pniii could have no very firm foundation upon which to rest .

      Tho increased coa * umpUoD of tea , coffee , and eugar , must not ba tuken fur more than it is worth , as a proof of progress since the union . And , first , to reduce ) it to its proper value , consider that a decrease in duty causes an increase in the consumption of an article . Therj , second , tbat since the progress of temp : ranee , more of these necessary articles liBvebfencocsutntd , eTery town and villnge contributing t : > supply tbe demand by the establishment of tea nnd coffee-eheps . And , third , that the failure of the potuto obliged those to livo , who have lived through the famine , on bread , wUioh requires something succu ' ent as an accompaniment ; for even Irlvh gullets cannot swallow dry bre ( . d—though possessing tt wondrous power of swallowing EBgliohinsult—and that easiest to be procured wnB tea or ci ffje .

      The greater amount of grain and rueal consumed in 1845 , compared with the amount used at tbe uuion , wss not because the pvoplo could better afford to purcbaxe It , but firs : , the population had lrxrcaseri , and had notbl' g elsd to livo on , tho potatoe having failed . Thofe who could ia any way purchase flour and ratal , did sothoso who could not , diod , to the number of a . million ! Aa to the transactions in the shipping department , which Mr Martin adduces as proof of tho iucrcaea of commerce since tho usilon , ( be certainty of his conclu-Bfons 13 very questionable . Like the element on which nautical ( flairs are conducted , the surface may look unioeih asd calm , but by looktog deeper we detect much that is dangerous . In 1846 , a large number e . f vessels errvrd in Irish ports with Indian grain and meal , ond took out Irish wheat to English markets This I Iijvo often grioved over as I walked tho quays , saw Irish grain exported , and foreign meal imported , which even the starving loathed .

      Tho same vtesil was otttu eeot from ono port to another with the same cargo of provisions , and , of course , registered at both ; and many thousands of the tannage , so indicative ot Irish prosperity , wero to transport tho inhabitants to Americn , iroru whence many wero doomed never to return , having died of the ship fever . Tho radiance of w&ich the Poor Law is the focus , fails to itft \ ct the generality of Irishmen ia tho same manner us it does the editor of the Witneb ? , Its Rlory is obocurcd by tho ehiveriug viotiirs of famine But , qb EugliBlio : ou nnd Irishmen view tho scene irom difjrent points , wo are not to be surprised ot tho diffen noo of opinion . The former ace tho glory of the PoGr Law radiating from an English senate , ond the latter bpo It irradiating the subjects of that Bonatc ' a oppression . Ih . deed , much should not be said on tho subject of British Poor Laws , as they ever need tinkoring , uad ntvn givo satisfaction .

      Wo are next reminded in your article Ihut Parliam ent gave , oince thtTJaion , £ 11 , 127 , 072 , fjr purposes of charity , literature , agriculture , &c ; fhowmg to tho pluineBt intfcliigcnce that somoof tko uiouey , taken by taxes from Ireland , has bctn expend d there .

      countrymen , both by the governmeut and the voluntary contributions of the Eugllsh people , and this feeling 1 know to have betn shared by the Irish people to a very considerable txtent ; and , if ita force bo now lessened , it is do by tho determinat ' on of the legtshvuro to reoisi every demand for those rfghts which belong to a natioc , aud tho manner in which , tiat dctermiuiuiou has been expreBsod , in its perfidious treatment of tbe men who seek to emancipate their country .

The inquiry excited into ise interest among the medical profession , a large number of wfcom were present during the proceedings . The body having betn viewed by the jury , Mr Badger , the father of tho deceased , identified tfer hnA * niiHiftt of his son . IIo said he was tho coroner for

IIo then appeared in h's usual health , whioh rras apparently very Rood , although ho compla i ned frequently of violent beating of his henrt . lie haii fn qucntly expressed his desire to inhiiio cbloroforHi whilst undergoing the operation of having his teeth taken out . but ho waB diesuaund from it by a medical friend , a ^ d also by mambcrs of bis faally .

Deceased came on ( ho Friday at tte appilnted timo , nnd nho wascallcd iuto the room , as she undcrs ' oid deceased was to havu chloroform administered whilst his teeth were extracted . It was customary for lvlinees to bo called In on such occasions Mr R : ) bir \ fien having prepared his apparatus , uehi . iuistered tha chloroform , and when deceased had inhaled it nbcut a minute he said ' he did not think it wan streug enouph . ' Mr Ribinnon turned away for tho purpose iif obtaining some more chloroform from the bottlo to place in the apparatus , in which , perhaps , threo-qaarttrs of a minuto was expended . D . irlri R this interval the dr .

Tbe doctor eamo directly , abd tn deceased ' s being bled only about haif a tablo spoonful cf very derk blood was obtained , and ho wes pronounced de < id . In answer to Questions , tho witntvs seated that she had seen her master administer chloroform in five hundred cases , a « Bhe was in thn habit of being called in C ase of ber assistance being requirfd , tholarner majority of patltn'B being ladicB . When Mr ' Robinson first loo'rft d at deceased ' s teeth , she heard him say to deceas-d , 1 You had bette-rlct me take t ' icm out without chloroform ; ' deceased replied , 'No , I will hare it ; I am not afraid . '

      Mr Robinson repoa ' . cd in his evidence the statement m . ide by Hanlet William * . Tho apparatus , as also the tattle containing the chloroform , wua hero prodnced . nrd minutely examined by tbe coroner , jury , and medical gentlemen present . DrJoDN Watebs was next examined , — He > said be resided » t No . 2 , South . crescent , Bedford . tqunre , and was aphjeiclan and member of tbe Rojnl College of Surgeocs , of Edinburgh . He was called to wi deceased ehor'ly after two o ' clock on the afternoon of Friday , tbe

      30 h of Jont . He wos apparentlyd * ad , but beatttmp ! td to bleed him , and retort « d to artiiiaal inspiration , Irietion , and other remedies for half an hour , tu no purpose . He made aposl viortem ex ^ minatian of the body seventeen hours af er cloath , in ttiepresencocf Mr Erasmus Wilson nni Dr Emery . On opening the head , ho found elight congestion oi tho membranes . On opening the chest found tho lungs pushed upwards by tho liver , between the 3 rd and 4 : h ribs . On opening the psricerdum the heart was found to be of an uuusually polo colour . Tbe tit sue of tbe heart was thinner than natural and inter .

      apersed with fat , particularly at the apes of the It ft ventrielp , where the muscular tissaj wa « rc-placod b . v fat , Thoro was only about one line of muscular tissup , when iua &tato of henlih thtrc witild haTe been five or six lines . Tho valves of tho heart wvrc not in a healthy condition . The surface of the edges were un < quDl , and there was tV . e commenccmtn * . of the formation of enrtilane . Ttie liver was found to be enormously large . It was double tbe usual size , and in ^ ead of four pounds , the natural weight , it was found to weigh eight pounds . The I resjuro of tha liver upwards had evidently impeded th ;

      action of the lungs and heart , ond therefore any excitement of &ny character , was exceedingly dangerous to th ; decoa 8 ed . With a liver and heart in such a Btate , the in-. ru txtraction of a tooth , even without tho ad . ministration cf chloroform , might haro produced death —By the coroner ; My opinion is , thnt the docrasod ' a licurthnd not Buflicitxtrooxtoplay on account of the pressure of the liver aud either orgtnu , I am also of opinion that the deceased died from arrest of tho heart's action , owing to the arSH-snistraiion of chlornfnrni .

( From the Toronto Mirror , of Friday , May 19 , 18 t 8 . ) The Tory and looae . flnh preas of England , as well aa that of Canada , ever true to i * s prirpjplo of adhering t 0 what It believes to bu tho strong side , has como down upon ChartiBm with all the force of Its thunderbolts Wfro we to judge of tho character of Chartism , an , j " predict its fortunes , from tko prcmiacD afforded to us by such organs a 9 the Lon 'on Mobnino Chbonicle , the TiM £ » , and other metropolitan papers , we should b 0 diepOBed to tblnk but l ' g htlj of its merit * . But « ve have , for some time back , been watching tho progress tf Cbartism , and , though many persons havo latterl y been disposed to believe that it bad p ' . rljhsd from tbe earth aa have held a different opinion . ' _ . . _

      Wo venture to foretel , thnt before five years Chartism will be the political fanhlou of the doy ; it will bo the popular 'lectrinc—if , indeeid , it will not b * ve become t . bo national , legitimUo , an ^ orthodox creed . Chartism is an embodim « nt tif great facts , each of which has itB origin la eorrespoadfoc ; Rrc-ai nbmes . Wt . o rforg noe gee whence has pprung tho demand for Universal Suf .. ir . iRe , in a country in which the millions are ruled b y the hundreds—or rather tho scored—who mako birt ^ oftfee people ' s rights at the hustings , in tbo purchase of the v ites of thu thousands ? Constituencies ore bought and Bold , with no more regard ta tho r i ghts of fre-men than U e » inced by an American planti r , in f fFc-ctirigr the sals of his negro establishment . Tho electors arc brutalUed into tho perversion of that suffrage , which ah-. aid be

      exercised with the moat ucrupu . ' oua rfgird to the g ^ noral welfare of tbe unprotected multiiudo . Ono pm-m la every thou 6 and , or , t may be , i » ne in every bun-lrod , or every fifty , has p . vote ; and became he has this privilege ho U a prrperobject for tbe retention of the bribery agent of bis would . be pnriiarrjfntary rcprepentntive ; and becauie all the rest of tho fifty , fr the hundred , or tba thousand havo no votes , the purchase of conetituen . cleB is cheaper then it would he if they nnd them . And this is thoshurt and th ? long , the pith and tbe marrow , of the real , but occult argument 1 b favour of a limited franc'ilan . Thoae who declaim against Ualvtrnil Suf . froeo would do wull to point out to us nny other sort of suffrage less capablo cf baing corrupted . It is our opinion tbat , the incorruptibility of the suffrage is the

      bsBt guaranteQ of national integrity . AgHiD , tho demand for Tote by Billot mmt grow stronger , unl bs public morality bj retrograding . This reform might , indeed , even with a Hunted franchise , secure the maeses against the ecoundrellam of their mas . ters ; bo far , at least , aa actual bribtry is concernod » Still we know tbat tbe more largely tho clojiivo fran . chlse is enjoyed , in any country , the more reliable is the verdict of tho constituencies , ps tho hons-st voico of the nution . He would be a ivi-althy candidate who would promise to himself to be Me t > obtain , by the agency of open houses , and loaded tables , a majority of tbo voterB of eneh popu ! ous towns o London , L verpooJ , Glasgow , MinchcBter , Birmiugham . or Shcffi ^ lij ; and as to the rural constituencies , tbe system of gluttonising and intoxicating the multitude would be impriiciicable .

      In the next place , tho abolition of State Churches is a maaflurs winch public opinion is gradually and yearly heaving onward ; aad iti consummation is as certain as that men will dnro to wirahij .. God a « thoy think proper , and will not consent Io pay for o ' . hcr persona exercising Clio same pririle ^ o , Chartism may be ridiculed ; hot bo wbb tbe Anti-Corn * Law ngitation ; &ud eo has been , in its ( urn , every other agitation which we liavo seen finally successful . The very paliB t ken by tho pre's to ridicul it ^ prove its strength , Tbe signatures to the C : i ; irtii 8 petition were

      nnqoeitionably overstate ;! ; tut grant that the ; were—grant that five miUloES did not sign it , because this number would comprife the whole a ' - ' u ' . t male populntkn of Great Britain—grant that the Clerks of the House of Commons n a ! a the number of signatures only 1 , 900 , 000 —and pra&t thnt even -100 , 000 signatures wereficiitious , ( which is an tlUw ^ neo tot claimed by the opponents of thoorganioation)—are not 1 , , 000 signatures a great political faet ?
