HEALTH W . HERE 'TIS SOUGHT ! HOLLO WAY'S PILLS . Cure of a Disordered Liver and Stomach , when in a most hopeless state . Extract of a Letter from Mr . Matthew Harvey , of Chapel Hall , Airdrie , Scotland , dated the 15 th of January , 1850 . Sir , —Your valuable pills have been the means , with God ' s blessinj , of restoring me to a state of perfect health , and at a time when I thought I was on the brink of the grave . I had consulted several eminent doctors , who , after doing what they could for me , stated that they considered my case as hopeless . I ought to say that I had been suffering ^ from a liver and stomach complaint of long standing , which during the lust two years got so much worse , that every one considered my condition as hopeless . I , as a last resource , got a box of jour pills , which soon gave relief , and by persevering in their use for some weeks , together with rubbing night and morning your Omtment over my chest and stomach , and right side , I have by their means alose got completely cured , and to the astonishment of myself and everybody who knows me ' . —( Signed ) Maiihew IIar . vkv .. —To Professor Hollowat .

FRANCE . "" Hi . Faneber , on the part of the new ministry , addressed the Assembly on Friday last , informing them that their policy would be to « maintalti order , « uje the law to be respected , &c . This declaration was received in silence . M . St . Beiwe proposed a renewal of the vote of censure , passed on the Biroche ministry , the present one including that gentleman and others who were in it . The president declared that he would consult the Assembly . Several voices called for the pure and simple order of the day . This proposition , as being entitled to the priority , wa 3 pat first to the vote . The result of the billot was as follows : —Votes
602 ; for the motion , 327 ; against , 275 . Thus the jure and simple order of the day mu adopted by a majority of forty-two , in a honse of 602 . This tote was succeeded by a lively agitation , as . the Indulgence manifested thereby towards the government was not in the least in harmony with the attitude of the Assembly . The Mountain , with the exception of twenty members , is about to emigrate into the provinces daring the Easter recess . The twenty members who will remain will constitute themselves into a
committee of prorogation , daring the abose period . A dinner was given on Sunday , at the Hotel des Princes , to Generals Dembinski , and Chryzanowski , -the former recently returned from Turkey and the latter from Italy , by a hundred Polish emigrants . Prince Adam Cartoryski was in the chair . Toast * were given to the two distinguished guests , and to the fraternity of Sckves . Count Teleki , the enly Hungarian who was present , proposed a toast to the Polish emigrants and to the memory of Geih Bern . The T ? ho ' . e of the company present loudly expressed their gratitude to the Sultan Abdul Medjid , and wished for hi 3 long reign . They considered that it was owing to the firmness shown by him in
defending the sacred rights of hospitality that they had the pleasure of again seeing Gen . Dembinski among them , instead ef his being now undergoing captivity . An incident highly characteristic of the moment occurred on Tuesday last at the door of the Assembly . As M . Baze and a friend of his were exchanging congratulations on the opening of the vacation , a national guard on duty called out— ' Would to -God that we were rid of the Assembly altogether V Upon this the irate questor immediately gammoned the officer in command and gave the out-spoken -national guard in charge . The delinquent was immediately arrested , and committed to the black-hole of the guard-house during the reBt of the sitting .
ITALY . An occurrence in Ancona will serve to demonstrate the tender mercies of Austrian rule , and will te hardly credited m England , where judicial pro . ceedings are public and equitable . On the 28 th cf last month , the stick was resorted to , that favourite instrument of Austrian eloquence , in the prisons of Santa Palagia , as a mode of extracting evidence , thus reviving , in fact , the atrocious middle age system of judicial torture . The bastinadoing operation took place at five o ' clock in the afternoon , on the persons of two countrymen , against whom ' , for three months previously , the papal police had
been compiling a series of accusations , without ever being able to bring forward any satisfactory proof of their guilt . The judges not being able to come to any conclusion , for want of evidence , the papal commissary ordered the accused individuals to . be handed , over to the military tribunal , and , according to its directions , the prisoners , instead of being set at liberty for want of evidence , were subjected to the judicial torture of the bastinado , in the presence of a judge and notary , who were ready to take down any depositions which the said
bastinado might produce . One prisoner underwent eighteen blows , and the other five ( fifteen more being reserved for the following day , ) protesting their innocence all the time . A second sitting of th » singular kind of court was to take place on the 29 ih , at the 6 ame hour , when several other prisoners , amongst whom a young woman of twenty years old , accoeed of being the lover of one of the accused parties , were to be well beaten , in order to Bake them furnish the required evidence , whether true or false . This brutal affair had created such a feeling of horror in Ancona that the British
consul had been entreated to interpose his good offices trith the Austrian general and the President of the Tribunal , to induce them to conduct their proceedings in a rather more legal form , hut np to an hour before the time fixed for the bastinadoing he tad been unable to effect anything in favour of the prisoners . Military esecutlom continue in the province of Romagns , chiefly of countrymen accused of having afforded
a temporary asylum to the brigands ; but any more actual combats between the troops and the remnants of Pareatore ' s followers are not leard of . The Tice-Brigadier Battistini , who commanded the attack which terminated in the Paisatore ' s death , has subsequently died of Ms weunds . He first fell from Iosa of blood close to the corpse of the extinct brigand chief , and soon after expired at the town of Rossi , whither he was transported by his comrades .
SARDINIA . The « Croce di Savoia' announces that the Aug . trian government has applied for a free passage for its troops over the Sardinian territory , in ease of a change of policy in France , and demands fortresses as a guarantee . A bill on municipal reform will be presented to the Chamber in twenty days . SPAIN . Madrid , April 8 , —The elections for the new Cortes will take place on the 10 th of May , and the Chamber be convoked on the 2 nd of June . The tesott is expected to he favourable to minister ! .
PORTUGAL . Prom Lisbon , v ? e learn by the Tay , that a revoluturn had broken out in Portugal , headed by Salilanha , who -was in command of about five thousand troops . The government troops were in purauit of iim . The British squadron , which was about to sail , bad been detained , at the argent request of the Portuguese government . The revolution had arisen for the purpose of putting down the government of Cahral .
The Iberia has arrived with dates from Gibraltar to the 5 th of April , and Lislwn , 9 th , and Oporto , 10 th . The revolution had not extended to Oporto when the Iberia left . The members of the British embassy at Lisbon are stated to believe that the revolution in Portugal will ba a most serums one . Although Saldanha is the idol of the army , the Portuguese court do not fear him so much as Das Antes and Baudena , the former being at Mafra , and the latter at Saint Ubes . At Gibraltar an action had taken place between a S panish guarda cosfa and an English smuggler . The captain of the former w » s killed , and two of the crew of the latter were p ounded . An angry dispute has arisen in consequence . Montes , the celebrated bull fighter , died at Cadiz .

r fcbel chief Ali Redir is endeavouring to recruit his f orces . Dates from Bosnia , April 4 , state that Ibrahim Kapic , the head of the rebels of Krania , has been killed on his flight from Banjtkula . The report is that he was shot by two hired assassins . This is the end of the rebellion . Ali Pacha , the nighty dreaded , deposed vizier of Herzegovinia , has been shot accidentally . Not far from Banjaluka , a shot was heard in the camp of the Serasquer . A loaded gun , so goes the story , had fallen from a wall against which it had been placed ; it went off in failing , and the shot struck Ali Pacha through the head .
EGYPT . A good understanding again subsists between the Porte and Egypt , as the Porte -will abstain from demanding of the Pacha an unconditional acceptance of the whole Tansimat . There have been lately new levies of troops in Egypt , but not to the amount reported . These levies are only in the natural order of things , as Solyman Pacha , the commander-in . chief , has lately dismissed about 12 , 000 veterans , in order to have in their stead serviceable troops . The vacancies are not yet filled up , and the Egyptian army falls considerabl y short of the 30 , 000 men allowed by the Porte . INDIA .
From Bombay we leara that the Governor-General was expected at Attock on the 4 th of March , and at Peshawur by the 8 th or 9 th . His arrival was looked for at the frontier with hopes that he will be able to devise measures for rendering life and property more secure there than they are at present . Outrages were almost daily committed by the hill robbers , even within muBket-shot of the cantonment of PeBhawur . On the 19 th of February Captain F . Grantham , of Her Majesty ' s 98 th Regiment , was set upon and severely wounded by five hill robbers ( supposed to be Affreedees , ) while riding out at Peshawur with a young lady , whose
horse , as well as his own , was carried off by the robbers . The lady found her way back to the cantonments , when a litter and some native troopers were despatched for Captain Grantham , who had been left tor dead . Captain Granthara was wounded in sevea places , and very severely , but hopes were entertained of bis recovery . An officer ' s servant was shot dead while entering the city gate on the night of the 22 nd . A scoundrel who was challenged by a sentry of the Guide Corps fired on him , but was immediately captured , together with a trumpet he had stolen from the Artillery , and nightly alarms are said to occur from the lawless
villains lurking about , who all carry fire-arms and use them without scruple . At Kohat all was qaiet , though the tribes in the neighbourhood were still quarrelling among themselves about the black mail it is proposed to give for keeping the pass open . Beyond Kohat , towards Bunnoo , 300 Wuzzarees have had a skirmish with the rear-guard of Walsh ' s 2 d Punjab Regiment , the baggage of which they in vain tried to capture . The mode of dealing with these tribes has yet to be devised . It does not appear that they are at present actuated by any hostile motives beyond the mere love of plunder .
CEYLON . There is little of importance to record from this colony . Our dates are to the Hth March . Tho governor was still at Kandy , busy , it may bo presumed , in collecting information nnd maturing plans for the better government of the people oommitted to his charge . Five men convicted of murder had been executed together , in tho presence Of a vast concourse of persons , of both sexes and all ages . Small pox continued to rage violently as an epidemic at Colombo , and cholera was lately superadded . The latter disease , however , had not continued to spread with the rapidity and violence that was at one time threatened .
CHINA . From Macao we leara that the principal topic of excitement has been the disturbed slate of the interior of the island , in consequence of the Heathen Chinese having leagued together to murder or kidnap the Christian ( Roman Catholic ) Chinese , of which a great number employ themselves as pepper and gambier planters . Many of their plantations have been destroyed , and such was the formidable resistence shown to the police—who shot a great number of the rioters—that the military were called out
, and have been placed in the district mostly inhabited by the . Christian Chinese . This alarminR movement has attracted general attention ,, and that of the executive , to the existence and spreading influence of the Hueys , or secret societies of the Chinese , whose proceedings have for a time so interrupted agricultural operations as almost to stop the staple articles of our export , For the present government has made a sort of compromise , granting an amnesty to the Huey confederates on condition of their ceasing to annoy their Christian
countrymen
AUSTRALIA . Sydney journals to the 6 th of December have reached us by the Overland Mail . The 16 th was fixed for the election of the Mayor of Sydney , being the first choice of a chief magistrate under the new constitution , that functionary having heretofore been chosen by the aldermen and council . The matter formed an exciting subject to an excitable people . The candidates were Mr . Alderman Thurlow , Mr . George Hill ( the then )
mayor and Mr . Alderaan Allen . The last-named gentleman held the office in 1845 with great credit to himself ; the former gentleman ' s public and private character does not rate high , he having been removed from the commission of the peace for the prostitution of his powers as a magistrate , which removal was considered by a vote of the legislative council as justifiable . The ' HeraW , ' the organ of the popular voice , pronounces for Mr . Allen , as worthy of the brightest of the municipal honours .
Later journals from Sydney , received via Singapore , to the beginning of January , confirm the intelligence of a scarcity of grain and the rising price of flour , causing much alarm on tbe subject . The quoted price of flour was £ 18 to £ 20 . Much sickness prevailed in consequence of the sudden alternations , heat to cold , and vice versa .
WESTERN AUSTRALIA . Perth and Fremantle journals to the 22 nd of January , have reached us . The convicts had ¦ commenced being a source of uneasiness to the government , and inconvenience to the inhabitants ; several had managed to escape , to begin the work of bushmen , the most dangerous clasB of persons in the sister colonies ; and to mend the matter , the convicts at Fremantle had mutinied . On January 20 th , they assemhled as usual at breakfast , when according to custom , one of their number was requested to say grace , which he refused to . do , saying Jj ' * ould not say grace for such miserable bread . ' Tbe bread is composed of twelve per cent , flour , whereas they demand twenty per cent . Some of the bread so refused was sent to the executive
council who pronounced it to be excellent . How the matter has been disposed of we are not aware but the convicts significantly informed the officer of government that upon the arrival of auothe , batch they would be in a position to dictate condi tions ; a .. very unpleasaut bint in the unguarded state of the colony . With the view of benefiting the colony , the government had notified its willing ness to encourage the importation of camels and alpacaB , by holding out a bonuB of £ 60 to the first importer of one male ana two female camels , and the nun of £ 50 to the first importer of two male and eight female alpacas , in health y condition , within twelve months from January 1 st , 1851 . The pearl fishery discoveries progressed most favourably ; pearlsof-the size of peas had been , fouud , and some even largerat Shark ' s Bay .

demand-justice and equality-to be placed ' on a footing with the sister colonies , to none of which we convictsi sent but with their concurrence ; and they energetically demand the pledge of ministers being faithfully redeemed . On these issues they have taken their stand solemnl y , sincerely pled-red their existence to obtain justice in a constitutional manner . Concession or a final separation are manifestlythe alternatives . This movement on " » e P art « f ^ e colonists has produced an alarming effect . The emancipists have chosen , to regard it as an insult to their elass-an aggression upon their rights . Counter-associations are bein < j formed , designated "The . Praoners' Protection Society , " the intention of which is to unite the emancipists In one great confederation , not merely for the va » ue purpose of " protection" against wrm . ™ 'J ™

In Tasmania , it cannot be disguised , convict influence is paramount . In 1 S 4 S onmi . Ti ' 00 Vree m ? l e emigrants , while 9 , 000 had become free , exclusive of nearly 5 , 000 maletickeUf-leave holders , and the offspring of the respective classes born in the colony . In that year no less than 16 , 000 male convicts were in government employ and private service , and since then tho renewal of transportation has greatly added to their number , as also the issue of conditional pardons . On the other hand , the aumter of free immigrants hag from various causes diminished . Looking at these facts and figures , the consequences of a counter-combination may well be apprehended .
. Lieutenant Pate , under sentence of transpertation for seren years for the assault upon her Maiesty , arrived at Hobarfc Town in the ship William Jardine . It is s » id he displayed no symptoms of insanity during the passage . A normal school is in course of formation » t Hobirt Town , to which an agricultural and industrial establishment is to be annexed . It is intended to celebrate th « passing of the Australian Bill by a public dinner in Hobarfe Town , at which five hundred persons are expected to be present . PORT PHILLIP . .
Journals from this settlement , to the end of November , are taken up with the general rejoicings consequent on the receipt of news of final separation from New South Wales . Judging from the tone of the newspapers which have reached us , the colonists would appear to be carried away by their enthusiasm , or " gone mad , " in the opinion of the Sydney journalists . All business had been suspended by common consent for a week , to take «• a fill of joy , " and excitement was at its highest pitch . Eren the newspaper editors had prescribed themselves a holiday , and closed their establishments for an entire week .

' The following return of the Sonth-Eastern State Railway , which has just been published , will give some idea of the scale on which Austria tV cently conducted her preparations , for war . It appears that , from the 1 st November , 1850 , to the 15 th February , 1851 , there were transported upon this line ne less than 556 , 077 troops , 30 , 020 horses , 6 , 895 guns and ammunition waggons , and 347 , 558 centners of ammunition . !
We have received our usual advices from America . They state that a reaction against the Fugitive Slave Bill had strongly set in . The Ohio legislature had passed" resolutions by a large majority in favour of a repeal of the obnoxious law , or , at least , a great modification of it . The denial of juries to slaves put upon their trial wai condemned in a very emphatic manner . In addition to this expression of feeling from one of the most important states of the Union , a state convention for Massachusset 8 ( without respect of party ) had been called ,, to assemble in Boston on the 8 th of April , toexpreBs the feelings of that Btate in favour of the repeal of the Fugitive Bill .
