IMPORTANT TO INVALIDS . THE Proprietor of DR . HAMILTON'S VfTAL PILLS , feeling conviuced that the innate good properues of this Medicine , must by the recommendations of tUose who experience its benign efficacy , ( in many instances after all other m < ans had failed ) do more to bring it into notice , than anything else , has abstained from publishing cases of cure , and thd more so , as he well knows the frauds that are constantly practised upon the public by fictitious or manufactured cases , which causeB little faith to be attached to such statements .

IiEEDS ^ .-AESArLTrsG the Polic e . —On Mob-Swii I ?"" 1183 ^ ^ WiUiam Bamforth , of Krkstall Fo ^ e , were barged whh hmng comnnatodimaggra ^ ted assault on a sergeant of the ^ eeos police , and Matthew Lea , of Pottery field , ttnnslet , was charged with haTing obstructed the police in the execution of their duty . The two foimer prisoners , at an early hour on Snnday roornnu ? , were drunk , and canang adistcrbance in Bnnslet L , ane , and , on being remonstrated with . Barnforth
committed a desperate assault on Sergeant ura-ven , one of fte police , andiis companion assisted mm . Other polieemen caifenp on hearing the noisa , when Baroforth Bet o ^ snd was followed by two policemen . He then got into a pig-stye , in Pot-T ^ i ' from whence he was takep , and he sktmtedont for the other prisoner . Matthew Lea , W ~? ^ Dear ' to come &nd sssist fc"a , He did so , and Barnforth again got vS , but was recaptured in Jack Lane . Barofotth was fined £ 4 and costs , or two months , and the other two 40 s . each and co ? ta , or one month in Wakefield ; the moaey was paid . Deo-wskg . —On Thnrsday last , an inquest was held at the honse of Mr . Irson , the Ball and Sun Inn , High Conrt-lane , Krkgate , before John Blackbum , Esq .,- coroner , on the body of John Dennis , who was taken out of the rirer , on the previoos day . The deceased was a waterman * and came from Accrington , in Lancashire , and the last , time he was seen alive was aboul a fortnight pre--noasly , at which time he left the Black Horse , in Wharfe-street , atom ten o ' clock in the evening . Ai that time he was perfectly sober , and from the best eTidencethat could be obtained , he went directly on board the Tessel on which he was engaged , from which it is supposed ihat he fell whilst walking along the deck , as a splash was heard by a man who was in a neighbouring Tessel ; bnt he on looking oui conld not seo anything in the water , nor did he hear any persons about . The deceased was missed the next morning , and the Ther has sisce been dragged wnhont ihe body having been diseorered . The bodv fljaied on Monday evening , opposite Kirk Ings wharf , and was seen directly alterwards and got oat ; the features were very mneh dfccolonred . He was about thirty-five years of age . Terdict * Found drowned . " AannciAL Teeth —We were long inclined to be very sceptical abont the valne of these appendages of mod-rn date . We were disposed certainly to rank than among things had
xor ornament much more than nse . " We w ^ re . unable to perceive how they could be fixed in the mouth so as not to be either very troubiesume , Tery unsafe in their posrions , or very painful in the operation of first fixing . We had ieard of springs , wires , holes bored in the jaw . fce . ; and our association of ideas on the matter were of no comfortable character . Nor conld we bring ourselves to think that , under aiy circumstances , could these substitutes be made to serve the purposes of mastication . This is however the age of demonstration and discovery , and we have lived lo learn thai toothless old men may be renovated in their *• grinding department , ' till the imitation may possibly exceed the quality of the originals . We
have had opportunity of personally observing the beauafol imitation of nature which are given in the mineral teeth of Messrs . Major and Co .,: whose advertisement onr readers -will find elsewhere ; we have seen the simple process by which those teeth are fixed in any kind cf a month where they are wanted ' , we have seen them tested by application to all the purposes for which teeth are useful ; we know parries who have had , and used them for years , and we can certainly assure our readers that as many of them as are plagued with bad or ugly teeth need be bo no longer , for the Messrs . Major and Co . have so coaxing a method with the-mouth that deformity disappears before them , and want of power to eat becomes a thing unknown save when food or inclination may be missing . We can serionslv recommend these gentlemen to the patronage of " all who need their aid . Their artificial teeth are so well formed that they resemble exactly the most
perlectly formed natural teeth ; they are fixed in the month wiicoat the less * pain or any diJBsnlty ; they remain in their places without any trouble or inconvenience ; they soon become perfectly famiiiar to the mouth , so as to cause do unpleasant sensation ; and , what is best of all , you may bite a crust or chew any ordinary food with them as easily and safely as if they were natural teeth . We have already said that we speak from personal observation . We know parties who have worn them for years . We have also known parties who derived great bencfi ' . from Messrs . Major and Co ., in the cleansing , purifying , and beanriiying of their teeth . We have setn some shocking months among our own personal friends put into firm order in one dressing . We repeat , therefore , that all persons who have bad teeth , ngly teeth , or no teeth at all , should go at once to Messrs . Major and Co ., who wili speedily make them " all right . "

There were four witnesses , and the trial lasted fodb minutes 3 The beasos wht Poob Rat £ 3 ake so highkkoh 310 tj 5 lt high ; and the poob so wretchedly vow . —The sum aninaliy charged the inhabitants of Mar 5 lfcbone for Poor Hatea is £ 9 , 000 , out of which the Commissioners of Police spies demand several thousands for what they are pleased to term a Police Rate , which rate is independent of that charged upon the same borough for the maintenance of its local force of police fpie 3 , which is a very numerons one , Marylebone being the strongheld of
London Chartism . Now , not to say anything about the quantity of Land which even the £ 9 , 000 would buy for ihe employment of the unemployed poor , let * i « ask what these police pickings in the Poor Rates are for 1 Is it , as all must reasonably suppose , to excise the ratepayers aeainst the Poor Rates , and iherebv give the advocates of the New Poor Law an opperiu »< ky to say that snch ratepayers object to parochial relief being given to the poor ; or is it to swril ihe secret service fund , as none but themselves or creaiure ? of their ch " qa 8 know where it goes to ? The ratepayers are indiguant as it , and are getting up petitions in all parts of Marylebone , praying for a parliamentary ingniry npon the snbjt-ct , and Mr . TnfneH , M . P . has promised that he will , on the 22 ad instant , make a motion spon the subject , and move that a « clect committee of tha Honse of Commons be appointed to make inquiry into the pickings complained of , which , by the way , are not confined to MaTylebone , " Get the Lakd !—Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson , Lord of the Manors of Hampstead and Blackheath , hus smuggled a Bill into Parlisufint , which if passed would enable him to build around and make roads across the heaths of Hampstead and Blackheath , TbecooyholdersofHainpstead are opposed to this , and publicly charge him with an intention of bmldiDg all over the heaths in question .

Shocking Sbictde at Wakeeield . —On Sunday last ^ ir . Timothy Clegg , formerly a solicitor ' s clerk at Wakefield . subsrqaently a maltster , but more recently an officer of the new siall debts court of the western division of the Riding , committed raicide in Sonthgate , Wakefield , in the yard of the residence of Mr . Benjamin Fawcett , builder , his father-in-law , by shooting himself in the head ^ with a pistol . The deceased was a man of extremely loose habits . His residence , when connected with the small debts court , was at Huddersfield , While there he contracted an intimacy with a "buxom young widow , " whoke husband not long ago , managed to " shuffla eff this ! mortal coil" by hanging himself . This intimacy , as might be expectedinducf d unhappiness on
, his own hearthstone ; and his wife , whom he had foully wronged , left his home and Bought the \ protection of her parent . His dissolute conduct led him into other scrapes , of which the ? securities" he had to give the " Conrt" on his accession to ofiice , knowtotheir cost . Latterly , hehas been endeavouring to persuade his wife to return to him ; : but this shetJsBteifastly refused . In all probability it was fortunate for her that she happened to be at church on Sunday forenoon lastj when the deceased visited her father's house ; or it is not unlikely i ; tiat he would have attempted her injury before he destroyed himself . Aniiuqnest was held before Thomas Lee , E :-qcoroner , on Monday evening , = over the body of
Clpgg , at the house of Mr . Joseph Firth , the White Hart Inn , when ihe following evidence was addnc-d : —Susan Parkin deposed , that she lived in Mri Fawcetfs court ; and on ! Sunday forenoon , between eleven and twelre , she put up her window , and saw the deceased standing against Mr . Fawcett ' s brewhouso-door . He had something in his right hand , but she did not notice it . She heard the report of S pistol immediately afterwara ? , aud went out . Mr . Fawcetfs servant was coming out screaming . They weDt np to him ; he had a pistol in his right hand , and was lying on the flags . There was a great deal of blood on the ground . — -Alice Dewse , the servant , deposed that she was left to cook the dinner whilst the : family were at church . She heard the noise of the pistol , and looked out . when she saw the deceased lying on the grounds She went to the church for Mr . Fawcett . The deceased married
Mr . Fawceft ' s daughter ; but she had left her husband , and her and her child had lived with her father for the last eight weeks . The deceased was thirty-three years old . —Mr . Wm > Whittaker , landlord of the Waki field Arms Inn , near the Railway Station , deposed that the deceased called at his house about half-past eleven on Sunday forenoon ; he ; had a glass of beer , but did not drink it all ; he-, did not sit down , but spoke'in a quick and hurried manner . —Mr . John Dawson , druggist and snrgeon , deposed that he was called to the drceased on : Snnday forenoon . He was not dead . Witness found a wound on the right side of the head , about art ; inch above the ear . It was a single barrelled pistol . On examining his pockets he found some money and some bullets , as well as some percussion caps . He died about half-past two in the afternoon . The jury found that the deceased had shot himself in a temporary fit of insanity .

Ose Law fob the Rich akd anotheb for the Poob . —A case occurred at Marlborough-street police ofiice on Monday , which furnishes another beantiful illustration of the fact , which we have often had occasion to insist on- ^ Damely , that there fc ' one . law for the rich , and another for the poor . The particulars of this case are briefly as follows : — A ^ yonng scion of nobility , who , it seems , was powerfully refreshed with something considerably stronger than tea , was driving in a cab dewn Shepherd-street , about four o ' clock on Monday morning , when suddenly he caught sight of a cock , and jumping down frpa bis vehicle , commenced a vigorous pursuit of the bird , an 3 after a ten minutes chase succeeded in bagging it , and was jnst in the act of driving off with it , when a policeman who happened to be passing at the time—a miraculous interposition , for it is a well known fact that policemen are never to be found
when they are wanted— "knowing the fowl to be the property of a house-keeper ; in the street , pursued and stopped the cab , and took the aristocratic delinquent into custody . " On being brought before the sitting magistrate , that considerate functionary after hearing the statement of the case , blandly sugg ^ Btsd th % t possibly the cock might have been abducted by way of a lark . The qnick-witted policeman instantly caught at this merciful suggestion , and adroitly replied 'hat he thought his Worship was right , and tbat the affair was a mere joke—nothing more whereupon the prisoner wa 3 dismissed with a fine of five shillings for having been found drunk I The inference we draw from this magisterial decision is , that provided a man be rich and nobly descended , he may bag as many cocks as . lie pleases , the circumstances of his wealth and nobility being convincing proofs that he bags them with no felonious intent , bnt simply by way of a " lark .

The constables then had no alternative bnt to return to town without e ! xecnting the warrants . The women were seen running in all directions to alarm their neighbours ;

IRELAND . MR . O'CONNELL IN MALLOW . ( From the Cork Examiner of Monday Evening . ) Mallow , Sunday NiGHT . i-In no part of Irelund has there been a demonstration more magnificent and inspiring than that of which Mallow was the theatre this day . In numbers it was fully equal to any that has yet been made—in enthusiasm it could cot be surpassed—indeeorum and regularity , it was preeminently imposing—and in the determination evinced by the conntless thousands who formed the * body guard" of the Liberator , It was calculated to dissipate the idea that the " people can be satisfied without legislative independence . The preparations for the demonstration were conducted with z ? al and
perseverance , and have been crowned with signal success . For weeks past the Very Rev . Dr . Collins , P . P ., and clergy of thetownandneighbourins ; parishes exerted their just influence to impress upon their flocks the imperative necessity of obedience to the laws and deference to the authorities , lessons to which the strictest attention was yielded . Cautions were > i ivpn that the slightest iDJary should not be done to the plantations of the gentry—that not a bough should be cut without leave of the ; proprietor , and in no instance was the iniunction violated . After first mass , the Very Rev . " Dr . Collins , in a brief but eloquent and energetic exhortation , took occasion to repeat the wholesome advice he had bo frequently
given . A party of the 10 th Hussars arrived here the day before yesterday from Baltincollig , and two companies of the 5 Sih Regiment , nnder Major Leghton , and a large body of police , has been brought in from thB surrounding districts . Captain Douglas , the stipendiary magistrate for Mitchelstown , has been here also ; but having witness ? d the orderly and peaceable demeanour of the : thousands who assembled in Charleviile and other parts of the country within the last few weeks , and apprehended no infringement on the law , he had the soldiers and police confined to the barracks for the day—though at would have been as well to have allowed them to mingle with the masses , by whom they would be treated as friends and brothers .
The Liberator slept last night at the residence of ; the Rev . Mr . M'Carthy , in JMitchelstown . He was ^ received there with the liveliest demonstration of . respect , attachment , and veneration . Bands played " through the streetB till aii advanced hour of the inighl , and this morning it was evident that the whole population intended ; to accompany him in -triumph on his route to Mallow . The amateur [ band , dressed in their gay uniform , left at nine o'clock , accompanied by an immense concourse in cars , carriages , on horsebajck and on foot ; and as they moved onwards the crowds were augmented at every point by tributary thousands , merry-he&rted
land buoyant , and pressing , in spiteof heat and duet , Ito the centre of attraction—the town of Mallow . -Mr . O'Connell arrived in Doneraile at two o ' clock , accompanied by the Head : Pacificator of Ireland . There he was received by the Reverend Dr . Collins , ' aad other gentlemen , members of the committee . iEvery honse was decorated wish boughs and Sorters —arches Bpanned the streets—the myriads by whom ; he was accompanied , making the welkin ring with their soul-stirring acclamations , and taking the ! most tender care that the slightest injury shouid not be done to the tuost bilp ' . ss infsnt , hundreds of whom were carried in their mothers' arms . Here Dr . Collins tcokastat bteidetiie Liberator and . the

immense cavalcade moved on , joined at intervals by new accessions—the bands playing national and martial airs . The procession left for Mallow at one o ' clock . It would be impossible to calculate the number , which were fully equal jto , if they did not surpass , those who formed the memorable gathering in Cork on the occasion of the Liberator ' s last triumphant entry . The procession formed into line , under the directions of the stewards , whose orders were implioitly obeyed .
The procession went on in the most admirable order , amid the vehement cheering of the myriads and the mnsio of forty bands . The heights and fields were crowded with [ spectators , and , according to the estimate of the b 3 st calculators , there could not have been less than four hundred thousand perssns congregated wheri jtfae procession reached Mallow . Cheer followed cheer in rapid succession , and as the Liberator acfcnowledged the shonta bv exoiunnne , " Old Ireland " - " Ireland for the Irish " — Redeal -the enthusiasm should be witnessed to be appreciated . There . ' were few reftoal wardens
without their insignia of office . Theinhabitantsoftbe districts m which the repeal fund has been collected , exhibited their cards either on the top of the wands which they carried , or on the front of their hats , or suspended from the coat ' button ; and as a manifestation of enthusiasm audfdeteraination , wehave not witnessed , as we set out by stating , anything which surpassed this . The procession having gone through the town , returned to a large area , where a platform was erected and where the meeting was held The platform was crowded , and a oountless multitude occupied the space in front . The Very Rev . Dr . Collins was called by acclamation to the chair .
Mr . R . B . Barry read the petition , which was proposed by W . Tracy , Esq ., seconded by Patrick Scully . Esrq . J The Rev Mr . M'Cauthy , C . C ., Mallow , then read an address to the Liberator . Mr . O ' Connell then came forward , and waa received with tremendous cheering , which ^ as repeated again and again for several minates . When silence was restored , he proceeded to observe that there was one thing which gave him pleasure , and that was the length of time he enjoyed the confidence of the people , and therisady obedience they paid to his word , as if it was a [ command ; they assembling in their hundreds of thousands , as they wduld assemble , joining with hint in carrying out the etreat principle of peaceful agitation and restoring to tho
country the national dignity of which it was' deprived —( hear , hear , and loud cheering . ) Ireland had been branded and jvilified—the tongue of the defamerhad calumniated her—and she was laughed at as well as she fhad beon insulted—( hear , hear , hear)—and even , one of the heads of the present administration branded her inhabitants as aliens in blood , in language , and in religion , and when he waB taunted with making distinctions between Saxon and native , small blame to him—but when he was so taunted he could say that he heard it from the man who was one of the heads of their administration , but who , when he made the
distinction , waa a simple pjeer of Parliament—he heard that man say that Ireland was alien in languagein religion—( groans ) . ; He hoped they would not groan him—when he heard him say that they were aliens in language , he replied that talking tho same language , the Saxons spoke it with a hissing , croaking tone , whilst the Irish poured it out from the heart , and gave the significance of cordiality to the words they ufcterd—( loud cheers ) . YeB , the Lord Chancellor of England made the taunt . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was , standiug by Lord J . Russell at the time it was made . Lord John avowed he heard it afterwards in the House of Commons . The Chancellor
could not deny it , and he ( Mr . Q'Connell ) threw back aliens in t eir teeth , and said the Irish wore not Saxons ( cheers ) He spoke of trie example they were giving to the world— but he would not speak without witnesses . He was counsel for Ireland—the people were his clients—he had none other—he gave up the profession in which he had been brod , and , in which he was successful , and now for the remainder of his life , which would not be long —{ cries of " God forbid * ' )—he was resolved to devote himself to the advocacy of the Irish oeople aad old Ireland—( vehement cheers ) . And the first , proposition he proposed in the foca of Europe ^—for humble as he was , Europe listened to his words—and they were carried by tho wild , winds of heaven to the shores of fret * America . His first
proposition , then , was that the Irish were the first people on the face of the ( earth ; they wore the most' moral , tho most temperate , the most orderly , the m"st religious people in the world— ' ( loud , cheers ) . Ho said that they exceeded in religion , in morality , and in temperance , any nation on the face of the earth—( renewed cheering ) . It was the practice oftbe alien Saxons—he thanked Lyndhurst for the word —to boast of their superiorUy . The contest was between them and ; him . He would prove his case , and Europe would be his witness . The honourable and learned . gentleman referred at considerable length to the appropriation of the tithe rent charge , to the ballot , the fixity of tenure , the absentee draip , &c , &c , and after observing on the threats of physical violence with which
they were menaced , he cautioned the people to keep themselves within the limits of the law . and let those who threatened them attack if they dare—( loud applause . ) The honourable and learned gentleman then went on at some further length to comment on the threats of Peel and Wellington , and on the unconstitutional use made of the Queen ' s name , and to the fact that Lord de Grey , in sending down his gunbrigs , asked whether Kilkenny was a sea-port—( laughter . ) The honourable and learned gentleman then referred to the progress of tho Repeal rent , and to the influence it wn calculated to produce , and exhorted his hearers to enroll themselves in the ranks of the association . He concluded amid vehement cheering , which was reitorated again and again for several minutes . ,
Cheers having been eivon in succession for the Queen , the Liberator . Old Ireland and Repeal , the immense multitude separated in the most decorous manner—the squadrotis of cavalry filing off in admirable order under the directions of the leaders to their respective destinations—the cars , carriages , and footmen following , accompanied by their bauds and banners .

THE MAIL-COACH CONTRACT . ( From the Evening Post of Saturday . ) There has been a strict investigation , by order of the Post office authorities , jrespectirig the coacbea supplied by the Scotch contractor , for the Irish establishment . This inquiry ] was made by manufacturers of the highest professional capacity , and by men whose charrcter is a guarantee for their honourable and efficient discharge of the duty . Their report goes into minute details ; but the following letter embodies their opinions : — ] Dublin 29 th May , 1843 .
Sra—We beg leave , as desired ! , to enclose our reports of the mail coaches examined by ue in Dorset street , and cannot close them without expressing our opinion that the manufacture of the coaches , with very few exceptions , is of the roughest and most unworkmanlike class . We are also ] of opinion that tho bodies aud other parts , after some work , * all give further and decided evidence of inferior materials and workmanship . As a whole , we are of
opinion that these coaches are not what any respectable competent coach builder would fyirn out as wellconstructed mail coaches , if built to order . The value of the coaches in question is , in cur j opinion , at least twknty-fivb PER cbnt . less than that of well-built coaches . } We arr , sir , Your obedient servants , THpMVS HUTTON . "" ¦ John S . Dawson .
To George Stowe , Esq ., General Post-office . Here , upon evidence which no man caSa question , is the result of the change in tha contract from Irish to Scotch manufacturers . Lord Lowther talked of a saving of £ 2 , 000 a-year ; but can' that be saving which gives the public , in place of the very best and safest coaches , such articles as those described by Messrs . Hutton and Dawson ! What the public have obtained is not a saving of a shilling , but a loss of twenty-five per cent upon the whole transaction . Is it possible that Sir Robert Peel can now permit the present arrangement to continue ?

WRECKING IN TYRONE-STRANGE REVELATIONS . Dukgannox , Saturday Ntght . —One of the Repeal party , named O'Neill , brought forward a cross charge against an Orangeman named Reddick , for presenting a pistol at him , and the account that he and his witnesses gave of the transaction was as follows : — He stated that when ho heard the music he went out to the roadside with others to look at the procession , and , being the foremost of the party , Reddick presented a pistol at him , and told him if he did no « go back he wuld give him the same death his father , got—( the father was shot at his own door some years previous by the
Orangemen , ana not one of them wa * ever prosecuted for the murder ) . This irritated O'Neill and his friends . They broke one of thie drums , and assaulted one of the Orangemen as described . For this assault or affray , provoked at the moment , and wholly unpremeditated on the part of tho quarrytnen , seven of them have been held to bail to stand their trials ; and on the other iside , informations have been taken against Reddick for presenting the pistol at O'Neill j thus was the quarry affair so far disposed of . . Mr . Coulson and the other magistrates who presided yesterday took : their scats on the bench at ten o ' clock , The professional gentlemen on both sides were in attendance , and the case of the " wrecking " iras proceeded with ...
Mr . Clements read the- 'names of the owners of the forty-five houses " wrecked , " and < hen called witnesses who deposed to the destruction of the houses of John M * Gladugan , James Duffy , and two other persons . f James Money deposed that he saw the police and Mr . Wray standing within about ; seventeen perches of M'GIadugan ' s house , when the Orangemen were £ hrom ; ig-stones at it upon their return to Dungannon . , Mr . Clements said for the present he had closed his case , and what had b « . en proved with regard to the few houfC 9 in qucston was applicable to the whole forty-five . He assured their wt ; r $ bips that such was the state of terror that existed , it was with difficulty witnesses had been induced to come forward io prove as much as they did .
Mr . Butt said there was one of his clients named Patten , who wished ito tender peace information again-t two pers-ons named MM lorry and M'GIade . Pa ; ten then came on the table . Mr . Butt—Tell the bench what these men said about threatening your life . Patten—Will I tell all tliat passed ? Mr . Butt—Yes , do . Patten—1 met M'GIade with M'Rorry . Says the latter to me , " Are you alive ? " "I am , " says I . " You are a fool , " s&ya he , "to have had that meeting in Dnngannon ; what is it all about ? 1 thought that you would be ihe last man in the world to bring the wreckers out to my iathers ' s house ; had I been there that day joa ^ would be the very first man I should have knocked down . " Then says I to him , " the reason of the meeting of that day was , that there was orders from the fiord . Lieutenant for us to come in , and of course we tame" ' ,
Mr . Clements—Oh , this is a new light ; Ithis is worth the whole proceeding ; go on .
