^ ^ M » ^ M— ¦ « TO THE ARMIES OF THE HOLY ALLIANCE OF THE KINGS . Soldiers !— The tyrants -who oppress yon raise - anew tho standard of great wars . Powerless to - defend their despotism against the propaganda of ideas aadef rights , they desire yet another time to make an ¦ appeal to the fratricidal policy of battles . Tbefr pretexts you know ; behold their obj ect . They hope to drown in Wood the spirit of liberty Vfcieh now animates tho serfs of Ukrania , as vrtS . as the pariahs of western civilisation ; tnej tope , by awaking in you the murderous instincts o < am&xi to postpone in . lefin ieJy ; the *« & ¦ g buman brotherhood . Soldiers ! will you consent to this ? Count yourselves , and cc |» 'JjJ- J £ many are thev , emperors and 1 kings , jale . s and ac ? ' At best a fewthousfmls .
complices . YZ want of 72 * only raafces their strength . SSa b ^ S 3 « u ^ S fame of the * power of which he 13 so proud , if these men remembered that some of them owe the sacrifice of their Wool to the resurrection of heroic Poland , the raatyr nation , the others to the moral re-• establishmcnt of their race , all t » fraternity and independence . And the first of Ms vassals , this Emperor of Austria , but yesterday a child , *? ho has steeped his crown in blood at Vienna as at Pestb , : it Milan , as at Venica and Brescia , foall he reign a day , an toar , if each of you , Poles , Italians , Hungarians , Austrian betook yourselves to your ewn banner , the true banner of honour .
We know that they have taken care , purposely , to distance yon from yoar own hearths It is Hungary which is employed to keep down Italy : Aus-- tria watches disarmed Hungary ; Italians stand opposed to Germans , and Poland , who feeds the armies of all her three oppressors , is banished to Siberia and the Caucasus . Thcv hope by these means , to take you from the memories of home and childhood ; they intend , b y these means , to turn to advantage your old animosities , your prejudices , that the despots have nourished , and to assure the servitude of all by all . But , as if an invisible hand impelled your tyrants to unite yon , you are no w to be separated only by the fires of the bivouac You can—you ought , then , to ' - baffle their Machiavellian combinations . Both country and humanity demand it , for there is but one duty for men as for peoples , for soldiers as for citizens , Jet them ijronn under foriean oppression , or them be made
oppressed . it home themselves—let instruments of oppression abroad—and this duty is to be free : < nd to love each other . Be . then , brothers , all you who carry with the freight of military servitude the memories of a -captive country . TVere you of race 3 formerly hostile , communing in hatred of tyranny , in the love of liberty , you ought to unite against the common enemy . Let hands join , let hearts understand each other , that from the detachment to the battalion , from the tent to the camp , a mysterious and -sympathetic network may be extended , and soon the army of Despotism will be the army of liberty . But if , through isolation or the unpitying severities of discipline thwartiug your efforts , you . are not able to organise revolution in the camp —a revolt in broad day—desert without fear , one by one , ten by ten . What matter ? Bat , above all , do not desert withont arms , for they will be needful to conquer yonr independence .
Let not the shame that the teachings of passive obedience attach to those who violate the military oath stop you . Soldiers of country and humanity fcnow yon when you desert . It is when you enchain ¦ vour reason and yonr courage to the orders of an iniquitous idea . But to break engagements im--posed by force , sanotioned by falsehood , is on the contrary , to return to the true banner of honour . If insurrection on a large scale , if desertion in -masses be impossible for you , then die martyrs rather than strike down those who are called your enemies and who are your brothers . History will -tecord yonr names and honour yonr obscurer de-TOtion equally with the most brilliant deeds .
German soldiers ! — you , who ought to hare but one object , that of creating the great Germanic country—will you go to serve the cause of the Kings , to betray your common parent ? Kememher that , conquerors or conqured slavery awaits yon . * © oght generous Germany to have armed all her children in Tain ? Oh ! doubtless those who , so long bent beneath the military yoke , have forgotten home and country , to raake themselves the blind tools of tyranny , preserve the heart cold and the hand firm to hurl death at ihe beck of a barbadian despot . Bat to-day the entire nation is rising in manly inspiration with its invincible horror of slavery . There we find , again , the noble youth -mho , at Vienna , at Berlin , at Stuttgard , at Baden , at Rastadt , combated for liberty . Can the homicidal traditions of the barrack prevail against the magnanimous inspirations of so many free and valiant hearts .
We find there again the glorious remnants of the phalanxes of Hungary and Poland , the sons of unhappy Italy . Soldiers of liberty ! will yon strike down its martyrs ? Aa I rather let the holy conspiracy that we preach to all soldiers united under the same banner le organised from one camp to the other !• Let the Tanks mingle , and let one loud cry of enfranchisement bo raised from all these hearts united in fraternity ! And you , soldiers of tho Prussian landwehr ! TOrald you trust yourselves to this King who bas ten timeB been traitor to his oaths , after having ' kneeled before the revolution when triumphant , after baring saluted with uncovered head the corpses of the people who had fallen beneath the calls of bh satellites . ? No . no . The sentence is ^ pronounced against him and his race ; its execution -will not be Ion ? delayed . Have not he and his
always leagued themselves with the Russian despot , -as thev are now doing 1 You hold in your bands the destinies of Germany ! Then lay not down your arms until the Republic is proclaimed .. Remember then , all , soldiers of the Holy Alliance of Kings ! Remember the sublime example so lately given by the Hessian army , where no officer could -3 > e found to constrain the legitimate resistance of a People strong in its right . May you remember it ; each of them broke his sword , in order not to be wanting in his civic duty ; and yet they were not called upon like you to shed their bretheren ' s blood . Soldiers of the Holy Alliance ! forget it not ; your enemies arc in the palaces of kings . Know 'Low to will , and the guilty projects of Absolutism will only have served to found the liberty of all the PeopleB , the universal Republic ! Ledru Roilw , A . Darasz . Delegate of the Polish Democratic Centralisation . Joseph Mazzisi , Arnold Ruge , Ex-Member of the Constituent Assembly of Frankfort .

Thb Coubt of Assizes has been occupied for four days in the trial of twenty-two persons , for having formed part of a secret society called the 2 J 6 m& 3 is , the object of which was the dsstruction of the existing government , and the establishment of a democratic and social republic . On the 22 nd July last , a commissary of police entered a wine-shop in the . Bue Saint Victor , 118 , whilst a number of conspirators were engaged in deliberation . On their persons were found different revolutionary documents , and proclamations addressed to the army , denouncing the President of the Republic in tho grossest terms , and calling on the soldiers to desert .. There was also discovered a copy of the standing regulations of the secret society the X 6 m 6 sii ; they set
forth , among other things , that the members were to labour to secure the triumph of democratic principles "by all possible means ; " that at the bead of the association should be an executive committee of five members , with subordinate and district committees ; and they minutely detailed the manner in which the committees should act in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances . The conspirators at first held their meetings in tho plains of Montrouge , and subsequently in different public-houses . In possession of some of the principal conspirators were found plans for reconstructing a government , in the event of the success of the society . One of them provided that there should be a dictator , and that he should be assisted by
different committees . A number of drafts of decrees trere also found ; some of these enacted that the property of any one who should leave France , or eren tl ; e chief town of his department , should be confiscated ; that the property of the President of the Republic , of the ministers of Louis Philippe , and Of the members of the majority of the Assembly , should be confiscated , and that they should be allowed 2 f . 50 c . a day to live on ; that war should be declared against England ; that women should be emancipated , &o . There were also forms of the oaths to be taken by tho members of the revolutionary tribunals and others .. The interrogatories of the accused and the evidence presented nothing of interest . The jury acquitted eight oftheaccased ; three did not present themselves ; and the others were convicted . The court condemned the
convicts as follows : —de "Valory and Henricy to two years' imprisonment , and 500 f . fine , and five years ' inte rdiction of civil rights ; Corbet to fifteen months' imprisonment , lOOf . fine , and five years ' interdiction of civil rights ; Berand , Valtier Burreta , fieUenet , Chancel , Gouff 6 , Jayet and Grorset . each to six months' imprisonment , lOOf . fine , and two « eir * interdiction of civil rights .

¦ ' .: .: THE- CHARTER JS DANGER . T-BLiow CoiiNlRTUEN --Rftlly to the rescue of the Charter ! At the risk of once more being called dictatorial , I venture again to raise my voice , humble though it is , to warn you of-your danger . 1 said at the outset that more was involved in the present dissension , than the mere question as to when and where a Conference should be held . I said , the principles of democracy and the whole future of our movement were at stake : and truly 11 The most momentous orisisthafc has ever occurred in the British democratic movement" is at hand . ' If CoMen , Bright , and Walmsley were behind the tcenes , moving their puppets , they could not be served more effectually . Workingmen ! be on your guard ! you are on the verge of danger .
All I ask of you is to think calmly , dispassionately . Look at the common sense side of the questiondivest yourselves of . til party-feeling , do not be led away by declamation or fine writing—reason on the facts that aro brought before you , and judge ! Why should the men who objected to tha actual Ex'cmivc not bo satisfied when they resign ? Why should tbe men who called for a new election , refuse to join in it when it is annou 3 Ced ? Why should the men who said the actual Executive wore the only ciu * e oi disuuion , still create " antagonism" when the " cause" is removed ? Why should the min who talk so much about " democracy , " and profess to obey the " majority , " say in their last address of tho proposed London Conferencewhich would of course not meet , unless
, sanctioned by the majority of the Chartist body : " we resolve to take- us act or part in such Conference , should any be called ? " Why should they further refuse to obey the will of an overwhelming majority , already pronounced in favour of electing an Executive , and try to slip through it by the contemptible quibble of the Chartists not being the majority of the people ? If those gentlemen don't represent Chartists , they represent nothing—therefore what right have they to despise or sneer at the vote 9 of Ch . irtists ? Lit all these queries be xvell reflected on . And what think you of their telling us they mean to make a formidable impression on parliament , and in the same addreBS ostentatiously exaggerating our weakness in the eyeB of government ? ¦ . '• ¦ '' ¦ ¦¦
Ask yourselves , why should this Conference meet in * January ? There are only two reasons given . Firstly , to elect an Executive , and secondly , to impress parliament in our consequence . . Just fancy their wanting an Execntive electedand , instead of at once setting about the election , saying : you are to elect a delegate to a Conference ; then you are to put your heads together , and determine upon your Executive ; then you are to tell your delegate ; then your delegate is to go and tell the Conference ; and then the Conference is to tell the country . Did you ever hear of such around about way of doing business ? ^ Besides , there is this inseparable objection against the Executive being elected at a Conference : the Conference , " owingto many of our local associations having perifbrd altogether , while others exist only in name , " ( as the Manchester Council
have at last been compelled to admit , but as stated at the very outset , ) can represent only a small portion , even of the Chartist body ; moat localities ( that do exist ) very wisely refuse to elect delegates ; many are unable—many are two much " sunk in torpor ; " therefore the Executive , if elected by the Conference , could be ejected by only a very small fraction of the Chartist body . But , if the votes are given by direct means , then every individual Chartist throughout the kingdom oaii give his vote , whether he belongs to a locality or not ; and according to the notice of the Provisional Executive , whether he is enrolled or not . By the first means , an Executive cannot bo fully and fairly elected ; by the second it will be elected as fully and fairly as an Executive can be . " Sow , in th 9 name of honesty and common sense , why should they object to this ?
Workingmen ! let us have no hole and corner Executive , elected by a party Conference . As to tbe other reason for holding a Conference in January , . ' . " in order to impress parliament , " ( for the argument about the press is too futile ? to need further remark , ) it really scarcely requires an answer . It is preposterous to tell us with one breath , " that we are to make an impression on parliament , " and with the other , that we are " an insignificant body , " more pitiful than tho smallest benefit club ! And if we are to make an impression , it is not by breakingup six weeks before parliament meets , when the very existence of the Conference will have been forgotten , but by bringing the powers of the National Convention to bear upon the house , after the first torrent of the party warfare has had time . to subside--after the Papal hubbub is over , and tbe attention of the public and the press begiiia to be at leisure .
I wish to point out what I conceive to be some of the advantages of a Convention in , or shortly before , May , and in London : —Ireland and the West of England should be represented in it , which they cannot now , but can be then if the interval is properly employed . The people will know what measures government propose , and will be able to act accordingly , which they cannot now . Propounding our views before hand to Lord John , is warning him against us ; but let him first commit himself to & line of policy , and we have then got the advantage of displaying the errors of an opponent , while we propound our remedies in this place . I hold that the " oldjog-trot system" of going through the form of- one annual motion for the Charter in the House of . Commons—is a mere
farce ; and that we ought to organise our forces is the house , as well as outside of it . I therefore would suggest , that the Convention should invite all the Democratic members of Parliament to an interview , in order to arrange a plan of parliamentary procedure . This can be done only by a Convention sitting in London dvring parliament . I conceive they onght to come to as understanding with the Convention , to bring forward , one after another , a series of motions , embodying all our social wrongs , and the remedies we propose ; not wild theories , but sober , practical measures , adapted to the existing state of men . With this view the Couvention might propose a petition ( signed only by its members in the name of the people , each delegate stating the town he represented , ) embodying each of tbe grievances and proposed remedies , though exposing the grievance and reasoning out the remedy ; we should thus ' show that we are neither destructives nor visionaries—we should
rally all social reformers on our side , without the danger , as at present , of breaking up or injuring our . National Charter Association . The House should thus be inundated with a series of motions , paralysing the . ordinary jog-trot of its business , —overwhelming it with the popular voiceand , as soon as it had got fid of , or burked one measure , it should see it had gained little , for the next in the series should be at hand . The discussion thus raised , would do more to spread our name and principles , than ten years of newspaper writing and platform spouting . We should reduce our parliamentary opposition to a system and not leave it to the random interests of philanthropy on the part of individual members . But how get our democratic M . P . ' s to take the trouble—the House to pay any attention to them—and the Pres 3
to report them i . Not . by running away fo Mancheater—not by hiding in a corner , certainly . Not by breaking up six weeks before Parliament . meets —not by meeting at a time when they themselves say " the people are sunk in lethal torpor , " —when we can have neither public opinion , pressure from without , union , or general representation . February , as some now propose , . is , if possible , worse than January ; whether we intend to impress Parliament , claim attention , or attract ; respeet ^ -for-the session will be just beginning , —all eye 3 and thoughts will be anxiously directed to its opening measures—the House itself will be engaged in all the fury and freshness of its first political encounter ;—but , after the first storm of party-has evaporated , and the novelty of the session worn : off , there will be a lull in the political world , in which we may , step forward and claim a hearing . -
Then , in order to get our democratic M . P . s to pay attention to our wishes , and the House to give them a respectful hearing , ( they were respectful and attentive enoughon the lOthojf'April ) , the Convention should put itself at the head of such gigantic demohstraions as shall be strictly within the limits of the law , but as shall show pretty plainly that the public mind is not to be trifled with . I ask you , do you suppose that your members would not do their duty , that they would be too proud to come and take counsel with the Convention , or that , the House would not become amazingly respectful ; while they knew that five hundred ^ thousand men were standing on Kennington Common ? Oh ! " my friends , ' you would have members-who never ' yet told us they were democrats , come knocking at 14 , Southampton-streetj as to the House , you might hear a pin fall in it ; as to the Press , they would , with wonderful quickness , discover something
* rational in the Charter after all . . Now what more easy than to assemble half a million of men , ( not to march in procession , or to threaten violence , but merely to express their calm opinion and' solemn desire , and send up their petition to Parliament through the delegation of the entire country ) in London , and in May ? But when , and where else could that be done ? The " Exhibition" is " foolish " enough I grant : and that is the very reason why we should benefit by the folly of our opponents . The Exhibition is a God-send to us , for it draws our " talent and numbers together , as could not ; otherwise be done . And what , but / a Coxvektion ,- could adequately take tho lead of the people at-such ' a . time ? No Executive could do lt . ^ especiallyaftelectedatsecond-hand by a party XJonference .

antagonism , all angry feeling on this subject , ^ re we not all brothers in the . samecauHe ? Surely a man may offer an opinion , surely , the country : can discuss it , without quarrelling about it , and dividing into two parties . Surely personal vanity " arit individual pique' should not outweigh the duty of the minority to give up a false position . Join hands then , good men and true , on both sides of the question , and if there are any who will still raise discussion and quibbling , let them have it to themselves , while we go on straight in our course . '
As to the January , Conference being needed " to prepare ms / or the coming struggle "—it , will just unfit us to meet it . Union and organisation , are the preparations we require . I ask you , is this Conference likely to achieve either ? The majority of the people—or Chartists if' you like-have pronounced against it ; a large proportion have already elected anew Executive ; do you expect them to stultify themselves and rescind the votes they have deliberately and carefully oometo , > fter several weeks mature consideration ? An Exooutive is already elected , by the will of the majority—do you wish to split the Chartist body into two separate and antagonistic parties ? I appeal to your common senso , whether there ia any other way of healing all
divisions , than all Betting heartily to work in eleoting tbe Executive . That is the . only common ground of union on which all parties may now meet . If you really want a Conference , and if a Conference in January were needful , the election of an Executive first is a necessary preparatory step , is the only way to smooths dissension , and cause such a Con fe rence to be f ully attended , and looied upon to note as an obstinate faction , but with , . obedience and respect V It is perfectly useless to talk about" preparing the publio mind for the coming struggle" until you have established union . It is perfectly- useless to propound plans and propose measures to a disunited body ; to talk of union , and reject the only means that can achieve it . ¦ ¦ • .
The Manchester Council and thcir'friends tell us , " we are weary of the jog-trot system of agitation , which has been carried on for some time "—so am I —then they give us their programme of action—and mark what it ia : — : "As we have not fully stated What pur intentions are in supporting a Conference in Manchester , we will now state-plainly , and unreservedly ,- what we think ought ' to be done to sustain a veritable agitation for the Charter ! Firstly , for the Charter , pure , simple , and entire ; and secondly , to carry out , to the utmost of our abilities , co-operation amongst ourselves , which ia so successfully in operation at Heywood , Rochdale , and Bury , and other places . An united organisation , as exhibited at the
above places , if carried out throughout-England , would give such a mighty impulse of strength to the agitation for the Charter as was never experienced . " That is their entire plan . If this is not the "jog ' trot" system it is something worse ; . They will have " the Charter , pure and simple ; " and in the very next line they taok the grocery . 'businejs to it . They tell us , when we have a universal organisation of mealtubs , we shall find that a considerable help towards getting up the agitation for the Charter . How many years shall we be ? Good' Heaven ! with low wages , ehort time , panics , and misery coming on , ( according to their own showing ) , how many years shall we have to wait , before a few working men have become shopkeepers and fine gentlemen , and condescend to help us in obtaining the Charter ? How many aristocrats of labour shall we
make , before we have learnt , thatwe have bten only increasing the ranks of our enemies } -Oh I my * friends , that proposition might have come from the camp of the enemy . This is keeping the Charter" pure and simple , " with a vengeance ? No one oan appreciate the value of the principle of co-operation more than 1 do ; it is what we must carry out when we have the political power—that is , the Charter—but if you think to gee the Charter by means of social co-operation , you . are bad coachmen , for you are putting the cart before the horse . I mean ; era long , to write to you at large on this subject . Why do bishops , dukes , marquises , and bankers patronise your co-operative storoa , and tailors associations . ? Is it . because those human harpies love industry ?
No ! but because tbey think they will thus draw you away from politics ; and know they can always destroy your cooperation , should it ever become . dangerous . Why does the newspaper , The Working ^ man ' s ; Friend-Tissued by / Her Majrsit ' s Coshiis-9 I 0 NBR 3 announce , aa one of . its principal features , " full reports of workingmen ' sassociations ? " Why , but because they know thatth ' ey are the drag :, chains of democraoy , and the grave of the Charter ;? —though they may afford " 8 nug < secretaryships " to their deluded or designing tools . > The emancipation of a people was never achieved with candle * onds . . Let Emmett sink into a counter-jumper , and : Wolfe Tone into a butterman , I know these profit-mongers •—these men of [ the " advanced
mind —and I despise them . You should see how they bow and cringe at their shopdoor , before the coronetted carriage of a peer ! They all tell us that tbe feour of storm and struggle , of low wages and short time , of religious discord and party battle , of bankruptcy and panic is at hand . Where will then be tbe profitmongers ? Pretty citadels of freedom will oe their mealtubs and their candle boxes ! Out upon them ! the pedestal of liberty never yet was the counter of a grocer , —or the Charter of man ' s rights the ledger of » shopman . They talk of "the criminal folly and private cowardice of mere demagogues . " . Will they name them ? Who are the demagogues ? What were the oriminal act 3 ? Who was guilty of private cowardice ?
If they mean poor Cuffay , his conduct was indeed ill-judged , but , by Heaven ! it was not criminal ! How was the movement ruined ? I will tell them : it was the public cowardice' of knaves and fools that rained us in ' 48 ; it was their cowardice that gave courage to the Whigs , and invited them to strike the blow , it wan their public forade of weakness and disunion , tort of which they alone created , that ; foiled us in our progress , ; it was their cowardice that maddened Cuffay into conspiracy , and drove him into exile . But , I tell them , that courage , even if misdirected , has never disgraced a cause . I tell them that suffering has always made it more holy and more dear . ! . Do they reproach us , that our blood boiled when we saw the misery of
humanity , met the sneers and insults of its oppressors , and were honest enough to express our indignation ? Do they reproach us , that we suffered in gaols and hospitals for its expression , till some of us died , and the remainder still smart from tho infliction ? I tell them , for one , I am ready to do the same again , and bear the suffering as I bore it then . ... - .,-. .. : ¦ ¦ -.- ; They talk of the " stigma of redism . " Repubi licans ! pioneers , of intellect !; advanced guard of reform ! hear that , and glory in the badge ! You martyrs of June , Barbes ' andBlanqui ! "Sou heroes of Rome , Garibalbi and Mazzini ! May I yet walk as one of the humblest of your followers in your
wake of glory ! May I yet see the low , servile , cowardly spirit of profit in onpering scoured from the democracy of Britain ! Profitmongering and liberty are as compatible as hell ' and paradise . Chartists ! Be true to democracy ! There are no two paths on the road of right ! Be on your guard Crush all these insidious attempts ! Remember , many objections have been urged ; against a Conference in January-j-npil a . j ingle individual has urged an objection " against elepffig ^ an Executive at 'one ' e ; Elect an Executive before , you . iake any other step I implore you—most urgently implore i-you !

Extract of aletter from Mr . J . H . AUiday , 20 ? High-3 treet , ^ Cheltenham , dated January 22 nd , 1850 . Sib , —My eldest son , when about three years of age , was afflicted with a glandular swelling in the neck , which after a short time broke out into an ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for years went oh gradually increasing in virulence , when besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes which was expected to break . During the whele of the time mj suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical gentlemen at Cheltenham ,
besides being for several months at ' the General Hospital where one of the surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure , that if that limb were taken off it would be then even impossi . bio to subdue the disease . In this desperate ; state I determined to give your pills and ointment a trial , and after two months pei severance in their use , the tumour hfgan I perceptibly to disappear , and the discharge from all the ! ulcers gradually decreased , and at the expiration ofl eight months they were perfectly healed , and the boj thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of a laige circle of acquaintances who could testily to the truth of this miraculous case ,. Three year ; have now elapsed without any recurrence of themnladf , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can ' wish .

' Thk Mi « iebibs of PBDESTBiANisu . —Last-week at the County Court , Liverpool , Searles the Leeds pedestrian , who walked the thousand miles in a thousand hours , in the grounds of Mrs . Pernyhough at Tranmere , in the months of September aud October last , brought itn action to recover a sura of about £ 28 , being , as he alleged , the balance due to him out of £ 50 , which ho had been promised , provided he really did walk the thousand miles within the time limited . Mr . Atkinson- was for tbe . plaintiff , and Mr . Bretherton for the defendants , I 4 r . W . Pernyhough and his mother . From the evidence of Searles , it appeared that in the month of August last , he was introduced , by a person named Atkinson j to Mr . W . Fernyhough . At that time he was in trairiine to walk a thousand miles in a thousand
hours ; and he was desirous to take £ 150 to £ 100 that he performed the task , when Mr . Ferny hough ' said , « I don't know ; but I think I cnn . get the money on . " The next question was the amount that he was to receive for performing the . task , and at last it was agreed that he was to bave £ 50 ifhe won , and nothing if . he lost . There was also a promise of a public house in case he won . The sum of 2 d . was charged for admittance to the ground , the whole of which , after payment of the expenses , went to the Fenyhoughs . During the progress of the walking ho drew upon Mrs . Fernyhough to the extent of £ 21 oh . ; and at the termination of his undertaking he was offered £ 2 5 s ., and then £ 5 Mr . Willoughby , however , made up the latter amount to £ 10 . The money received at the g » te wa 3 stated to have amounted to £ 211 12 s . 7 d .
After'Other-witnesses had- been examined in eorroberation" of the plaintiff ' s evidence , ' Mr . Bretherton called Mi . ' W . Feinyhbughj who stated that Searles certainly did ask £ 60 , but agreed to take £ 20 . On cross examination he admitted that the advertised - match was all humbug , there ! not being a wager of one farthing upon the event . Altogether the plaintiff had received £ 27 10 s . and £ 10 from Mr . Willoughuy . The latter gentleman was next called , and he stated that the agreement was for £ 20 . —Mr . Atkinson handed in Mr . Ferny hough's account of £ 2710 s . against Searles , and asked how it was that he siioula iiare been advanced £ 27 10 b . before he had completed his task , if he was only to receive £ 20 in case he really finished it ?—Mr . Harden took this view of the case , and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum chimed .
THEBAPEnncs . —The-Mstory of medicine Is bv no means flattering to science . -.--It is questionable whether more is known of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as ' numerous , and in the aggregate asfatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the nest age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . " Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; in fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? 'At this moment , ' says Mr . Pinny , ' the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners themselves . Witness the mass of contradiction oh the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to the introduction of bark . Morton considers bark
an effectual cure . Reid ascribes the frequency , of the disease to the use of marcury . Brillonet asserts that it is curable by mercury only . Ruse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease — should be treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvadori snys it is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonica , stimulating remedies , and a generons diet . Galen recommended vinegar as the bestpreventative of consumption . Dessault and others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . Beddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglove more injurious in his practice than beneficial . ' Such are the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' ¦ And yet there can he but one true theory of disease . Of the fallibility and inefficiency of medicine , none have been more consoious than medical men themselves , many of whom
have been honest enough to avow their conviction , and now recommend MESSRS . JDU BARRY'S REVALENTA ARABIOA FOOD , a farina , which careful analysis has shown to be derived from the root of an African plant , somewhat similar to our honeysuckle . It appears to possess properties of a highly curative and delicately nutritive kind ; and numerous testimonials from parties of unquestionable respectability , have attested that it supersedes medicine of every description in the effectual and permanent removal of indigestion ( dyspepsia ) , constipation , and diarrhoea , nervousness , biliousness , liver complaint , flatulency , distension , . palpitation of the heart , nervous \ headache , deaf , ness , noises in the head and ears , pains in almost every part of the body , chronic inflammation and ulceiatlon of the stomach , erysipelas , eruptions on the skin , incipient consumption , dropsy , rheumatism , gout , heartburn ,
nausea and sickness during pregnancy , after eating , or at sea , low spirits , spasms , cramp , spleen , general debility , paralysis , asthma , coughs , . inquietude , sleeplessness , involunlpry blushing , tremour , dislike to society , uufitness for study , ' loss of memory , delusions , vertigo , blood to the head , exhaustion , melancholy , groundless fear , indecision , wretchedness , thoughts of self-destruction , andmany other complaints .- It is , moreover , admitted by those whp have used it to be the best food for- infants and' invalids generally , as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach , but imparts a healthy relish for lunch and dinner , arid restores the faculty of indigestion and nervous and muscular energy to the most enfeebled .
