      THE SPINAL COMPLAINT . rp HERE is hardly a single complaint amongst the ; X Hundreds to which the Human Fram * . is liable . ho distressing and so prostrating aa Affection of the Spine ; and there is hardly another complaint so difficult of cuie . The discoverer of an almost unfailing ; Remedy may therefore safuly be said to confer a boon upon his species ; and this Remedial Boon is proved by ex'piisive experience to have been dis- j covered by the Proprietor of . j HAlGirS SPINAL O 1 NTMEMT . - j Somo of the Cases of Cure tffected by it are beyond j belief ; and , were not the parties living , and per- | fect ! y willing , nay , anxiously ready to be referred to , and to testify jto tho wonderful benefits they have received , the Proprietor of the Ointment dare not mention them for fear of being charged with an , attempt to practise upon the credulity of the public .. The parties , however , are living ; they can be referred to ; and thfjir testimony is of the highest imporance to all afflicted with Spinal affection . - 1 The efficacy of this invaluable Restorative has , been again most ! abundantly demonstrated in tha ; following two cases of cures effected within the last j month . The names and addresses of the parties are j given ; and to the parties themselves are the sceptical j referred . ¦ i Mr . Haigh submits tbe following cases of Cure to tho notice of the ; Public : — Tne wife of iMr . JohD Smith , woollen-draper , High-street , ( Jldham , had been afflicted with the 1 Spinal Complaint , and unable to attend to her family for many years . By using Hash's Spinal ] Ointment for a few weeks , she was able to do her home work , and by continuing its use for a few : months longer she was completely restored , aud is > now quite healthy . . .. i Mrs . Riley , Threadneedle-street , Huddersfield , had been afflcted with the above painful affection for two years , jit was with tho greatest difficulty that 'he could manage to cross the house floor . By the use of a few boxes of llaigh ' s Spinal Ointment . was perfectly cured , aud is now enjoying . good health . > ' 1 Robert Jameson , weaver , of Kirkheaton , near Huddersfield , suffered under the Spinal Complaint for a long period ^ being unable to follow his employ - ment , and subject to pevere pain . By using four boxes of Haigh ' s ; Spinal Ointment he was completely : cured , and is now tully able to follow his employ-, ment . \ Mrs . John Woodhead , Cross-Lanes , Emlcy , near , Huddersfield , had totally lost the use of her limbs and was almost lincapable of ieeling . Thiij was a , most inveterato case of tho Spinai Complaint , and of two years standing . She had been under the care , of many medical jmen , and was declared to be in- ' curable by the medical attendants of the Leeds In ,- ( firmary . Ail hopes of her ever recovering were given up . By using a few boxes of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment , the feeling in her limbs was recovered , and by persevering in its use she became quite Well . The above hopeless case was cured by using ten j boxes of the Ointment . Mrs . Rayner , iof the Dartmouth Arms , Morley , was severely afflicted with a pain in the back for a , long time , beingtec 3 rcoly able to walk . By using a quantity of Haigh's Spinal Ointment , she was restored to health , and can now walk with tbe greatest ease . The above cases are only a few out of many , which might be adduced to show the wonderlful influence of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment ; and , as the name and address of each individual is given above , Mr . Haigh ; hopes that parties who may be inclined to doubt tbe facts above stated , will be at the trouble of addressing a letter , or calling on any of the above individuals , ¦ any one of whom will give them the particulars of their respective Cures . ¦ , Tne Ointment is Sold in Boxes at 2 s . 9 d . each , by the Proprietor , Crossland Buildings , Paddock , near Huddersfield ; and Joshua Hobson , 5 , Market-street ,, L ? , eds . .

      At half-past three o ' clock the young Count of Paris and ths young Priace of Wirtembuxg arrived in a cu-Ease-and-four , "wiih outriders , and attended by Ihtir tctnr and a yousg companion , tha sea of Colonel de Ccahannes . 1 Deed hardly say that the Conut of Tzis Is grsEdson to the Kirg , and heir to the throne ; bnt is is not inown thst the yenng Prince of Wirttsiburz is also a grandson of his Majesty , being the eod cf the late Princess Mary , who is so we !! kcowa for her beautiful statue of the ilaid of Orleans . The Count of Paris was loudly cheered , hut he took littis notice cf the greeting . Lite a boy of five years , he was much more delighted with a large dragon-fly , to wtkh ha gave chace immediately on alighting from the « £ TT » age , thsn -with the applause of the multitude .

      Be is a fine healthy iiitle fellow , and very lively in his -disposition . A few minntes after-wcrds the Prince of JyiBvilje arrived on horsei-ack , alone , attended by a Einizle . groom , tat do cctico was taken of him by the crtsyd , set , as far as I observed , by the military , la about half an honr a large party of horsemen arrm-d , amongst "whom were Prince Alben , Priucs Angnstus of Saxs Cobourg , the Duke de Mcntpensi ^ r , the Duke d'A-umale , and sevtaal othsr gentlemen . Prince Alberr ¦ was amended by CoL de Ciabanses , yeham the King cf the French has appointed his temporary aide-decamp . They were londiy cheered on their arrival . I 3 & very few misntcs aftenpards the cheering in the more distant part of the crowd announced the arrival of the loyal corUge , and a large party of censd"armes and

      eutxidcrs , who preceded the roysl carriage , arrived . The 3 Iiru ;" s dmr-aii lane immediately followed . It is an ojh ncsrriage with focr rows of stats . The first seal was occupied by the Kiss cf the Frecch and Qaeen Tictoria . On ihe second sat the Queen of the French and the Qa ^ en cf the Belgians ; oa the third the Duchess of Oriean 3 ; and on ths fourth the Prlncss of Joinville and tie Princess Clementina Five other -chars-an'bmc followed , eontslirag : "il the ladies and gentlemt-D of the court , excepting those on horsebaclL In the first 3 observed the Earls of Aberdeen asd Liverpool , il .

      of state . The whtfe of the carriages , ¦ with one execpboE , were drawn by iis horses , 2 Ed each had two or more outriders . Tte chserir-q on the part both of the Snidtnde and sollitrs was immense , and the royaJ party seemed much grati £ ed viib it , Qaeen Tictoria freo--ently bowing , and the King o ' the Freneh also bowing and sodding » hb rxrsch famiiiarity to several gentlemen and insies "wboiD he recognised among the cro'wd- Immediately spun their alighting from their carriases , the royal party entered the tent , asd In a very few minutes sat down to their collation . The Sng of tbe French sat at tbe centre of the table , and the Qafern of England on his right hand . The Queen of the French sat immediately beside Queen Tictoria .

      Tbe conversation seemed to be carried on with great ¦ amiaation dnring the whole time the company remained . After sitting for Eb-- » t an hour , tbe King took Qaeen Yiew ) ria " B arm , -and Prises Albert that of the Queen of the French , the rest of the party following , and walked Tound the platform in front of the tent , much to the delight of tfee people , who were allowed to come quite dcs « to the royal party . The cheering was enthusiastic and the close approach to royalty , which now-a-days is a great novelty , hs-d au almost electrical tfiect on the ptople . Aftti a short interval , during -which the Kiag CMrverBed with fccvertl of thuse Trho had the good fortune to get near him , the whole party entered the carlisces in the ordtr they arrived , and drove off for the Ci- « -t * an d'Eu , the ^ chtering sontiiixiing while they we re in ^

      the superior aad tried mind which has for thirteen yesTs presided over the destinies of France , and almost of the -world . Such , independently of allTiltsrioi coaseqnences , is the sense of the visit paid by Her Britannic Majesty to King Louis Philippe , and that alone would suffice for us . In accepting the hospitality of the Kinjr , Qaeen Victoria has wished to prove her confidence in . and personal attachment for , her august ally and his Royal family . She has -wished also , a ? Queen of England , to give to the constitutional King of France a pledge of political sympathy and goo-4 harmony . It is with this double object , and we are grateful to her for it . that the Qdeen of England has come to France ; and it is as the most significative pledge of peace that has b ? ea given , perhaps , ts our conntry for the last thirteen years , that we hail the arrival on our coast of this youag Queen , who bears with so much grace and bo serene and charming a brow the weight of the destinies cf a great nation . "

      The Presse expresses in gracious terms its approbation of the courtesy shown to the Qafcen of England , but takes care to esution the people of France against allowing their politeness to get the better of their reason . It adds : — " "We are of opinion that if the English Cabinet were to endeavour to turn to account tbe homage paid to their Queen the French Ministry wonlduot forget its duty . But , were it to do so , we have the press , we have discussion , that gieat guarantee of free Governments . " The G ' obe says : — 11 We are far from thinking that this event , memorable as it is , will destroy the rivalry which exists between England and France . The two countries are

      rivals , because they are iqually great , and because their zre 3 tnt-ss b : is similar elements ; but the bringing together of their Sovereigns and of their Ministers will contribute to tbe removal of mutual prejudices , and , by facilitating their intercourse , will contribute to the peace of the we : ld .

On Tuesday morning week , as Mr . Abraham Lyster , a butcher , of Rochester , with his nephew , Mr . Charles Lyster , was driving a one-horse chaise through Cobham pars , on their road ; for Wrothara cattle market , they discovered , just before entering the village of ¦ Cobham , a gentlemanly-looking man lying in the park on his face , with hia arms extended over his , head , and without his hat . O . n arriving at the body they found he was dead and covered with blood . On their turning the body over , they found a deep wound

      in the neck , and also some extensive wounds on the left breast ; in tho deceased ' s pockets were three sovereigns and a gold watch . An inquest was afterwards held over the body , when the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown . " It has since been ascertained that ihe murderer of the uafortunate gentleman is no other than his third son , Richard Dabb , a fine young man iwenty-four years of age , and that he committed the act while labouring under mental aberration . He was an artist of some celebrity , and gained several prizes at the Royal Academy . Tho polico have scoured the country round for miles , but not the slightest trace of tho young man has been discovered . It is generally supposed that ho has made away with himself .

The spectators were unanirri 0 U 9 in their condemnation of the unprotected platforms upon which the men are to work , at so frightful a height from the pavement .

For manufactured goods also the demand continues extensive , and prioes are in all oases very firm . We

      are glad to learn that the recent accouncs from the principal European markets , as well as from the United States , are extremely favourable : in Germauy , down to a late period , serious apprehensions were entertained as to the result of the harvest , which gave a great check to business . Recently , however , the weather had become exceedingly favourable , and an abundant harvest had been secured in excellent condition . This had given a considerable impetus to the demand for yarn and manufactured goods , and large supplies will probably be required .

      Espartebo in London . —A special Court of Common Council has been held , to consider an address of welcome to General Espartero . Mr . Deputy Peacock eulogised the character of the General ; and said , in answer to those who charged him with having feathered his nest , that independently of his wife ' s fortune , the General did not possess £ 500 a year . He concluded by moving resolutions expressing sorrow at tho Regent ' s forced retirement from the Government of Spain , as that country , under his patriotic guidance , was making rapid BtrideB in healthful iaieraal policy ; sympathy with ihe Regent in the frustration of his wise and philanthropic plans ; and hope of his speedy recal . Sir Peter Laurie oprosed

      the address . As to Espartcro ' s having only £ 600 a year , he knew that he had taken a house in tho Regent ' s Park worth £ 1 , 000 a year . He censured the General ' s conduct , and especially his leaving Spain without firing a shot . He maintained that the Court , as a body had no right to interfere ; and ho moved " the previous question . " After a very long discussion , jn which some of the speakers professed to be convinced in favour of the original motion by Sir Peter ' s arguments against it , the amendment was rejected by a large majority ; and the original motion was affirmed , the address to bo translated into Spanish , and presented by the Lord Mayor . His Lordship intends to give an entertainment to the General , on the occasion of presenting the address .

They divided on this recent occasion , when the vote stood as follow ? : —

The Iron Trabe . —A movement for the better may now be taken not merely as indicated , but as actually made and confirmed . At the last quarterly meeting , it is known a reduction of 13 s prr ton on manufactured iron took piuco . This reductiou may now be considered as abrogated . Hence the price s'ands as it was about eight weeks ago . Every cbtck to retrogression is of course negative improvement ; and ev « ry advance from a state of depression

      is necnssarily an improvement , and possibly a vast one ; but the character of the presont improvement remains to be determined by its effects , and these are by no means sufficiency developed to warrant the sauguJDe representation we have seen put forth . We do not doubt that the recurrence to the old price will be maintained—we have not the slightest apprehension of-a return to the price of the last few weeks ; but we know that well informed ironmasters fear that the rise may prove a serious check on the demand . However , it has been made and obtained , while p ome establishments , without saying more than that they expect prices to advance , decline taking orders except at next quarter's rates . All tha forces and mills , speaking generally , may be stated to be actively employed ; but we do not hear that any additionul blast furnaces habeas yet been set to work . The stock of pig-iron , before most of the

      furnaces out of blast ceasod to work , was enormously heavy , and will take some time to work up . On it an advance of 53 per ton may be safely noted ; within a fortnight it could have been obtained at £ 2 155 . per ton ; now there is a disinclination to part with it rat £ 3 . Scotch pigs , we saw it 6 tated on good authority , on Monday , continued at £ 1 18 s Gd ; bars hero may bo considered more than firm at £ 4 03 . In Wiil «» 3 the discount for cash is now £ 3 instead of £ 5 . and there also a corresponding movement in price has taken place . Owing , however , to the great number of orders delivered in and accepted at the low prices , it will , with several ironmasters , be six or fevf-n weeks or two months before they can get to work fully on the advanced rates . On Monday most of t ' jo iron dealers in this town and neighborhood , who had reduced their prices , made an advance of 10 s . per . toD on bars , rods , & 0 . — W 0 I verhatnploji

Roman Catholic Soldikrs — The following letter , addrrj-sed by a Catholic clergyman at one of our milunry stations in India , to a gentleman iu this country , points out an evil which ought not to be allowed fo continue . No soldiers have fought more brav ») y for their Qaeen and country than the Irish Catholics , and bo ; h justice and sound policy require

      that every facility should be given them for performing their religious duties according to the tenets of their own creed . The writer Bays : — " 1 have under my care about 700 to 800 as fine fellows as ever came from God ' s own country ; for many years they had not seen the lace of a clergyman , although , poor fellows , they eadly wanted the assistance of one . ' But most subject is the fattest soil to weeds . ' That the soil was goud has been proved by the retvrn it has made to mj labours . There are somo teetotallers amongst them who have most materially assisted me ; but total abstinence is discountenanced by tho commaiiding officers and medical men here , in consequence of the insalubrity of the water . Had you seen the soldiers at Madras , you would think ,

      1 am Kurp , that you were in the green island once more . There both the bishop and clergy are staunch in the cause , and a Catholicsoldier guilty of drunkennoss or swearing , or of not attending to the sacramen's , would cause as much wonder as a fall of snow in the month of Jui-. e . * onsidering the difficulties 1 have had to contend with , very much has been done hero , and much more would have been done in this way , had not certain persons , who shall bo nameless , thought it better that soldiers shquld be lost , as orthodox , drinking , swearing Protestants , than that fhey should owe the amendment of their lives to tbe priest . Woe betide any Protestant who shall be

      found vmbip the doors of the low , close , dirty barrack-room , in which the Hon . Company permit the Catholic Eoldiers to practise their religion at their own expense ; whilst their Protestant comrades are lounging in spacious pews in a large airy church , with ponchas swinging over their heads , and batties at the windows to cool them in their devotions , and all to a finning tirade aV > out the Spanish Armada , or Bioody Mary , or tho idolatry of transubstat . uation , or the Lord knows what , from a chaplain who thinks he can thus give better value for the 1 , 100 rupees a month , which he receives as his sublunary reward , rather than by warning hi 3 hearers from the canteen , the brothel , or gaming-table .
