      CURES FOR THE Ut fCURED ! HOLLO WAT'S OINTMENT . Aii Extraordhiaru Cure of Scrofula , or lung * s Evil . Extract of aletter from Mr . J . H . Alliday , 209 High-street ; Cheltenham , dated January 22 nd , 1350 . Sra , —My eldest son , when about three years of age , was afllicted 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 scrofiila , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for years went oh gradually increasing in ¦ rirulenee , 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 whole oi the time my 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 linib were taken off it would be then even impossitie to subdue the disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your pills and ointment a trial , and after two months pesfceTerance in their use , the rumour began perceptibly to disappear , and the discharge from all the ulcers gradually decreased , and at the expiration of eight months thev were perfectly healed , and the boy flioroiigUlv restored to the blessings of health , to the astcniaumentof a large circle of acquaintances who could testify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years have now elapsed without any recurrence of the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wish . Under these circumstances I consider that I should be truly un grateful Mere 1 not to make you acquainted with this wonderful cure , effected bv your medicines after every other means bad foiled . —( feigned )—J . fl .

' After a long silence we again welcome—most hi > artily welcome—this delightful Authoress , who comes before us with one of those heart-stirring , soul-exciting Tales , that none hut herself can produce . When we say that the Tbuw of Love equals anything that this fascinating writer has yet produced , we are uttering the highest praise that can be given . ' ' We rise from ths perusal of this de lightful narrative with feelings of mingled pleasure and pain . The early part of the volume , which details the sad history of Amy Mottimer , excites the sympathy of the reader to a painful degree . The hapless girl , friendless and enthusiastic , forms an imprudent union , from which springs a chain of sorrows which the Authoress wovks into a narrative of surpassing pathos . Happily as all ultimately ends , we must confess that reuret for the fnte of the unhappy Ann Mortimer is the predominant feeling in our mind at the close of this mo 5 t interesting tale . ' Welcome as the flowers in spring is a new work by Hannah IIakia Jones . —There is no living Authoress to whom the public is indebted for so large a share of innocent and moral rending as to Hannah Maria Jones . Finely as her plot is woven , exquisitely as her characters are delineated , this Authoress never loses tight of the moral which it is her object t « ineulcate . The steps of Amy Mortimer—surrounded as she is by temptations and diffiuKies , and great as are some of the errors into which her youth anil inexperience lead her—never once depart from the straight patji of duty , and she makes her election to ' do that which is right , ' although her so doing causes the destruction of her own future comfort . ' 1 After the deluge of h'ash—Hie out pourings of diseased and prurient imaginations—that has flooded the literature of these latter times , it 19 truly refreshing to meet with another of those simple , pathetic , and interesting tales , which have given a world-wide reputation to the name of Hannah Mai-Ja Jones . After a long silence she comes before us with all her early freshness unimpaired , and in her last work—The Tbuls of Love—still manifest all those high qualities of head and heart which have endeared her to her readers , and have elevated her above all other writers , as one whose every production is replete with truth , gentleness , and sensibility .

      EDUCATIONAL SUFFRAGE , With the closing of the Great Exhibition , signs of political and ministerial vitality begin to be visible . The members of the Cabinet drop into their respective offices as the exhibitors commence to clear out of the monster Glass House . The mental dissipation in which the nation has indulged for the last five months had the usual effect of all kinds ofdissipation—it unfitted us for work . Bub the revel is now ended ; the holiday is over , and we must ' g et into harness' again . There is work before us , and we muBt set about doing it in good earnest . It is said that the topic , of discussion at the first Cabinet meetiDg since

      the recess—which , was held this week , and lasted three hours—was the proposed new Reform Bill of Lord John Russell . Whether this is true or not , the time has come for the consideration and settlement of this question out of doors . However desirous the Whigs may be to pare down the measure to the exigencies of party interests , and to perpetuate the system of class-misgovernmeut by which they thrive , they are yet amenable to public opinion —the only real ruler in this country—and if the people speak plainly and decidedly , the expression of their determination will not fail to have its due effect on the councils in Powning-strect .

      We find in several journals the idea of an educational , conjoined with a residential Suffrage , spoken of in terms that imply that to be a favourite scheme of the Premier . On the surface , tho proposal appears an exceedingly plausible and proper one , and any one who opposes it , is likely to be set down as being desirous of seeing Ignorance and Anarchy dominate over Intelligence and Order . At the Tisk of subjecting ourseYveB to this charge , we must however express a very decided oppo sition to any such limitation of the l ? ra . nchise as would be effected by the plan . Not

      that we desire political power to be vested in the hands of those incapable of using it properly , or that we do not fully appreciate the value and advantages that would be derived from the Franchise being exercised by educated and enlightened constituencies , but simply , that such a measure would punish tho uneducated for what is their misfortune , not their crime . It would enable the Government , the educated and the ruling classes , to take advantage of their own wrong . Because they have obstinately refused to make

      provisions for instructing the whole people , they demand , as a corollary , that their criminal neglect , or abuse of the powers entrusted to them , shall be followed by the political slavery of the masses , who have been the victims of that neglect . This would be to add one injustice to another , and to create anew system of exclusion , which would have an inherent tendency to perpetuate the ignorance , which is made the excuse for refusing the rights of citizenship to a large portion of the adult males of tho country .

      If this or any previous Ministry—if the present or any preceding Parliament—luul placed within the reach of the whole population such means of acquiring instruction , as those possessed by the Citizens of the United States , in their Common Schools—defective though these are in many respects—there might have been some excuse for a franchise upou an educational basis . Those ( who wilfully abstained from taking advantage of the instruction provided by the Stuto , for the purpose of enabling them to discharge their duties as citizens , in an intelligent and patriotic spirit , might with some show of justice have been excluded from the possession

      or powers they had not fitted themselves to exercise rightly . But we have made no such provision . Instead of that , every renewed attempt on tho part of the advocates of unrestricted secular education , to procure for all classes and parties the chance of acquiring unsectavian instruction , has been resolutely opposed . Ministers have joined with sectaries , and these again with the parties who think they thrive best on populsu 1 ignorance , in denying such educational facilities to the masses . It is monstrous to think that , having thus deprived a largo portion of the people oi the chance of being instructed , they should now turn round and make that a reason for

      inflicting upon them the additional injury of political slavery . There is , however , another and an equally strong objection to this new-fangled qualification . It is quite possible that a man may be able to read and write , and cast accountswhich we suppose M'ould be the only test of education applied to voters—without being thereby better qualified for tho discharge of political functions than a man who could do none of these things . Political , is a very different thing from school education , and the confounding of the two things shows a misapprehension of the term Education itself , by those who to

      profess advocate it so highly , as to make it the condition of political emancipation , and enfranchisement . No man is uneducated . From the very nature of his being , everything with which he comes into contact educates him either for good or evil . School instruction at present merely furnishes him with the tools , or instruments to give effect to the roul education of the circum . stances by which he is surrounded , or the drawing out and development of his peculiar faculties , by the actual and practical training he receives , from the influences whicl habituall y operate upon him .

      Keeping this universal principle in view , we have no hesitation in saying that , with tho exception of the people of the United States , there is no people in the world so well educated for the exercise of the franchise as tho people of Great Britain . The local and municipal institutions , handed down by our ancestors , constitute so many normal schools and training colleges , in which the people acquire the art and habit of self-government ; add to this , the universal prevalence of sick and burial societies , benefit societies , building

      Untitled Article

      societies , voluntary associations for almost every imaginable object - frequent r > xS meetings on all topics of interest , and the con tinual recurrence of parochial and municipal elections , and it will be seen that our assertion is amply warranted . In other countries this species of practical training , for the exercise of the suffrage , is wholly wanting , and expe riencehas shown that a superior school educaJ tion has not been able to supply its absence " JSo one who knows anything of the elaborate and carefull y constructed national system of education in Prussia , will think for a moment of contrasting it with the incoherent , inade quate , and lamentably deficient provisions for the sameobjects which exist in this countrv

      let the people of Prussia have not shown themselves equally capable of political self government . Why ? Because , in that , as in all Continental countries , with the exception of Belgium , a bureaucracy has had the sole aud uncontrolled management of affairs . The people , in tho true sense of the term , have had nothing to do with the actual business of tho Government . Everything has been done for them . They have been treated as children and in such matters they have as much practical knowledge as children . Even in France , with all its noble and repeated struggles for the establishment of Republican Government we find the principle of centralisation and bureaucracy sufficiently powerful to maintain

      a thorough despotism under a nominal Repub . Jic . In the most ordinary matters , the people have never been permitted to walk alone . They are ordered about at the will of the Mayor , or thp Prefect , or some other official , in the most minute transactions of every-day life . Nothing can be done without the mot d ' ordre from the local functionaries ; and these again are but the mouths , eyes , and hands of the great central bureaucrats , who , at Paris , assume to . command the volitions of a whole

      nation . This system was established originally for autocratic purposes ; and while it exists , no matter what the nominal form of Government may be , France will be virtuall y governed by a despotism . It muBt be swept away root and branch , and the principle of parochial , municipal , arid county self-government established , before anything like free political action can take place .

      It is to the combination of this power of local self-government with the Federal or associative principle ihafc the astonishing progress , increase , and prosperity of the United States are to be attributed ; and though thwarted in their operation , to a large degree , by the oligarchical . influences of our constitution , it is to the same influences we must attribute the enterprise , energy , wealth , and power of England .

      Let us hear no more cant , therefore , about this new humbug . If any refutation were needed of the folly or the hypocrisy of those who put it forward , it would be found in tho conduct of tho masses , who have thronged London by tens and hundreds of thousands during the World ' s Fair just terminated . Even the Tory journals cannot refrain from breaking out in praise of the orderly , peaceable , and intelligent demeanour of the crowds who , for months , daily flowed in and out of tho magnificent central nave , aud the numerous courts of the Crystal Palace . The predictiona

      of danger , riot , and outrage , previous to the assemblage of such unparrelled multitudes , have been triumphantly falsified . The people have shown the possession of the power of self-control , a love of order , aud a respect for property upon a scale unprecedented in the history of the world , either as to duration or magnitude . Let us hear no more of the invidious distinctions which crotchet-mongers are endeavouring to create in tho new Eeform Bill . We have had class government long enough . The Reform Act now in existence

      was avowedl y framed on the principle of giving a preponderating power to the landed interest . It has utterly failed and broken down . The machinery of Government stands still , and the Legislature finds itself unable to move under its operation . In making an other change , we must build upon a broader and firmer foundation . Wo must abandon expediencies , and take the solid and enduring ground of principle . For future and for present purposes , there cau be no satisfactory settlement of the question , which is not based upon Manhood Suffrage .

      RECEPTION OF KOSSUTH . Expectation is still on tip-toe as to the arrival of KosscTii . Tho long voyage by Gibraltar , which the refusal to pass through France compelled him to make , has exposed himself and hia sick family to all the discomfort , delay , and danger of such a passage at this stormy season of the year } and , when Louis Napoleon ' s turn for exile again

      arrives , he may , and most likely will , be mado to feel bitterly his violation of the laws of hospitality and courtesy to the illustrious Magyar Hero . The Mississippi had not mado its appearance at Gibraltar when the Iberia left ; and , though it was possible to push ou and overtake that steamer at Lisbon , where t generally makes a stay of one or two days , yut the probability is ( at the time we write ) that Kossuth will either be detained till the

      next mail , or that liis earnest importunities will prevail with the Commander of the Mississippi to bring him direct to this country . It' is , however , easy to comprehend why considerable difficulty should be experienced in accomplishing this latter object . The American Government might not unnaturally regard it in tho light of an ungracious and uiicourteous return , for its generous and iiidepevsdeut conduct in sending a ship specially for tho

      purpose of conveying Kossuth from the place of his captivity to the shores of tho Atlantic Federation . We know how jealous Americans are of their honour , and how apt they « re to resent any slight or supposed slight that may be put upon them ; and tliey may not unfairl y expect that their guest on board the Mississippi should first pay I " respects to the people , whose bold and authoritative interference and aid at a critical mo »

      menthad , no doubt , very considerable iuilueuce in inducing the Sultan to disregard alike the cajolery and the threats of Austria , aud to release the captives . We cau quite uuderstand aud sympathise with the auxiety ot Kossuni and his Compatriots to reach $ n ' gland , to breathe , for however short a tii » e , the froo air of Liberty , to repose for a l > r » c j period , after the prison load has been lift ™

      from their hearts , and to make such domestic arrangemento before departing to a distant continent , as necessity or patriotism nwv require . But it is equally obvious that * Commander of the Mississippi will hay 0 t 0 keep in mind the popular opinion of tnfl people of the States—specially sensitive as they are on all matters of a diplomatic or national nature between themselves and thi 3

      country . Meanwhile , tho preparations for g iviug tlie Hungarian patriot a triumphant recep tion proceed with a most delightful unanuiw )' - Addresses pour into Southampton from «' quarters of the country , expressive of tne most profound sentiments of admiration , sj 1 " ' patliy and esteem , to be presented on M s ? f " rival The Central Committee , which holw its sittings at 10 , Wellington-street , receive 3 nightly the most gratifying proofs of pop uIal approval , Southwark has spoken out at * borough meeting , called by tho Hig h Ba » ' »« and Westminster is to assemble on Aloud ' }* in the Hanover-square Rooms , under tlW presidency of Sir De Lacy Evans , one oi members for the city .
