T AUDER'S LONDON AND NEW YORK JJ MAGAZINIE , Eight folio pages , price Three Halfpence . Noi 3 is now ready . The Articles in thi 3 work increase weekly in attraction . The three first numbers contain a variety of Essays , Tales , Poems , &c , by the first writers of the United States , constituting it the cheapest Periodical ever produced . S , " This Weekly Magazine is in form and appearance precisely similar to the far-famed Chamber ' s Journal , with which howicver it does not enter into the least competition , as it is devoted to reprints of the Gems of American periodical Literature . A very capital idea it is , too , and one which we have no doubt will make our Yankee brethren rather more anxious for a Copyright Law , now that they find they possess something themselves to be stolen . The articles seem exceeding fresh ]; one , in particular , ' John Bull , his Language and j Manners , ' in the last number , is rignt well written . We look for much amusement in the succeeding numbers . "— Weekly Chronicle . Published by ; jT . Lauder , S , Clement ' s-Inn .

THE ; SPINAL COMPLAINT . rpHERE is hardly a single complaint amongst the X Hundreds to which the Human Frame is liable so distressing and so prostrating as Affection of the Spine ; and there is hardly another complaint so difficult of cure . jThe discoverer of aa almost unfailing Remedy may therefore safely be said to confer a boon upon his species ; and this Remedial Boon is t proved by extensive experience to have been dis- a covered by the ^ Proprietor of HAIGH'S SPINAL O 1 NTMEMT . i Some of the Cases of Cure effected b ^ it are beyond t belief ; and , vrere not the parties living , and perfectly willing , nay , anxiously ready to be . referred j to ; and to testify to the wonderful benefits they have r received , the Proprietor of the Ointment dare not t mention them ! for fear of being charged with an j ^ attempt to practise upon the credulity of the public . The parties , however . are living ; they ean bo refer- t red to ; and their testimony is of the higuesi im- . portance to all-afflicted with Spinal affection .. t The efficaoyl of thia invaluable Restorative has been again most abundantly demonstrated in the following two cases of cures effected within the last ^ month . The names and addresses of the parties are { given ; and to the parties themselves are the sceptical referred . j Mr . Haigh submits tbe following cases of Cure ; i » the notice of the Public : — The wife- of Mr . John Smith , woollen-drape * High-street , Oldham , had been afflicted with tk ^ Spinal Complaint , and unable to attend t © . fc er family for many years .

By U 3 ing a quantity of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment , she was restored to health , and can now walk with the greates 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 the 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 .

t t j ^ t ^ j L BETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . SCr \ entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at ll your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . VVhiie I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating tha flattering intelligence of the groat good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public health . The fact is , however , predjudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female came into the shop to-day for a box , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad that no one could bear her speak ; but having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke . " Very many oase of extraordinary cures have ocourred among the aged workpeople , both male and female . In one mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and ia a week were restored and strengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure ana profit ; so much to , that from being unable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with grea , t physical difficulty and languor , they can now not only do a full week ' s work , but overhours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with the mill owner , are enabled to get as much employment as they can do , which has excited the envy of those younger persons who had been employed in their absence ; and It is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share ef Jheir rancour . The old people continue to take the pills regularly in small quantities , and find them aa necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily foodi 11 The next and last oase which I shall mention at this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his employers and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seen him since his oonvalesence . The man is a working mechanio and had spent about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purpose . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but rice milk , the stomach refusing to take anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with melaaohoiy forebodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder would have its periodical return ; but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a few boxes , which have completely removed his disease , and enabled him to return to his work , whero he was seen a few days ago by Mr . H&bson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-sleaka with great gusto ; and to whom he recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past affliction " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , 11 WILLIAM HICK . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court Fleet-street , London . " MIRACULOUS CUKE FROM THE USE Of PAHB ' S LIFB PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-stveet , Shaw ' a Brow , Saiford . " To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Pabb ' s Life Pills . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady , which the different medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocele ( or dropsy of the scrotum ) , and declared there was no other ohance of either relief or core than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Copper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable ' danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose toleave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Paru's Libb-Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without peroeiving any benefit , bat still kept persevering ; and 1 have now taken twelve boxes , and to _ my great joy I am perfectly well , the dropsy is entirely reraoved , together with a scorbutic affection , which Ihadbeen much troubled with since my return from India ia 1827 ; and now there ia not a vestige of dieaase left in my whole system , as I am now in bettor health , and spirits than I have been for fourteen yeara . H feel certain you would have accounts oft tar more * cures , if people would persevere in tha . use of thepills a proper length of time , as I have dene . I give > you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this letter , and will gladly answer anvj applications either personally or by letter , and remain , joat grateful and obliged servant . ( Sigaed ) "W . MOAT . » ' Witness—John Hough , Ch- eadl » , carrier . " Manchester , Feb . . 7 , 1842 . " FROM MR . HEATON . BOOKSELLER , LEEDS . II To the Proprieto 1 18 of Parr's Life Pills . " " Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we are daily hearing a ecoUTits of the good effects of Park ' s Life Pills ? ^ enumerate the cases world be a task too formid aj , ie for me , and which has prevented my writing t 0 inform you before , as I can hardly tell where t 0 begm .

" Another as jj tj , ey were worth their weight in gold ! as he w a 3 noi ]]^ the s ame man since he had taken them . " Another 8 ay y 3 wife na < l had a bad leg for years , but 3 fter taking one small box , which was recommend ed by nis claS 8 Leader , her leg was much better , an d wnen she had taken the second box , is was quite a 3 weu as the other . .

It originated in heir 1 breast , afid . continued to spread nearly all over her r body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr's r Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved 3 to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she 1 say she cannot express the inconceiveable advantage which she has already derived from them . She fur-• thor states , that she is now almost well , and ascribed ; her convalescence solely to the persevering use of . that sovereign medicine—Parr ' s Life Pills . N . B . . Any one doubting the accuracy of the above statemeat , may , through the agent ( Mr . Moxon ) , be . directed to Mrs .

TO THE MINEBS OP GREAT BSITAIN . The Miners of Cumberland beg to tender their acknowledgements for the assistance afforded them by their brethren of the Tyne and Wear , of . Lancashire , Cheshire and of Staffordshire , in their resistance to the illegal and tyrannical " Test" attempted to be imposed upon them by JohnJPeile , colliery agent to the Earl of Lonadale . All that was sough ! by the Miners of Cumberland was the exercise of their right to combine for the protection of their labour ; and John Peile denied them that right .
The Miners of Cumberland have to regret that owing to the time necessarily rrqaired to collect subscriptions , many of their body were driven by the cries of their famishing children to sign Peile " s test ; but they are still well-wishers to the union ( and ere long we trust will bereal union men ); and not only is the foundation of a permanent and efficient union in Cumberland being laid by the exertions of the outstanding men , but pecuniary assistance is now offered them , not only by Unionists In work , bat on the part of others also .

MINERS' NATIONAL CONFERENCE , NEWCASTLE . WEDNESDAY MOBNING'S SITTING . Mr . Thomas Wakinshaw having taken the chair ,, and Hr . Tulip the vice-chair , the Secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting , which were confirmed . The Chairman then , referring to the programme , said the next business was to hear an account of the labours of the lecturers now present , and called upon Mr . John Hunter for that purpose . Mr . Hunter gave an account of his labours in Cumberland , and of the suceess he met with in that district .
which was highly gratifying , notwithstanding the low mean schemes reserted to by the owners and their lacqueys to frustrate the attempts at getting the men to unite in that county . Tbe snecesa of the society in that quarter had been beyond their most sanguine expectation . The men were beginning to tbink tbat it surely must be a benefit for them to join tbe society ; or else the masters would not take such trouble in attempting to prevent its progress ; and many who etherwise perhaps never would have joined had come forward on that account .
A Delegate proposed that the statement now made by Mr . Hunter be deemed highly satisfactory . Agreed to . Mr . Swallow was next called npon to give a statement of the state of the society in North Staffordshire , which was highly gratifying . Mr . S . said that in the first fortnight after he bad gone there , from Lancashire , he enrolled 469 members ; and in the five weeks which he bad been there he bad enrolled 1 . 509 names , all of whom saw tbe matter in its true light , and had pledged themselves to carry out the objects of the Association . The statement of Mr . Swallow was ilikewise'deemed satisfactory . A letter was then read from South Wingate Colliery , complaining of the means resorted to to reduce the men ' s wages there .
Mr . Wm . Thomason gave an account of the state of the Miners' Association in South Stafford , which was likewise very promising ; and a delegate proposed that the statement which Mr . Thomason has now read from a local paper be inserted in the timers' Journal . Mr . Septimus Davis gave an account of his labours in Yorkshire , since he left Newcastle , which he was happy to say had been crowneu with much more success than he could be justified in expecting on bis first arrival there . Mr . D . described the attempts made by , a certain clique of Free Traders to entrap the Miners of Yorkshire into an advocacy of their nostrums , under a promise tbat they , in return , would assist them in procuring the objects of the Society ; but the Yorkshire Colliers were too wide awake—they were too old to be caught with chaff ; and they now confine themselves to the objects of the Union , and were getting on quite gloriously .
A Delegate proposed "That the statement of Mr . Davis be deemed satisfactory . " Agreed to . Mr . Hammond was called on give an account of the Btate of the society in Scotland . Mr . H . said he believed there was more abject poverty among the colliers of the Lotbians than in any other part of the world that he had heard tell of , and men were afraid to take a prominent part in its removal . Tbe failure of past partial attempts to better the condition of the Scotch colliers made them timid . Many of them were intelligent men , and know that a general union of their order throughout the United Kingdom would be more effectual in removing their insupportable grievances than any local attempts they have hitherto made . Mr . H . said they had to work eight hours for Is . 6 d . per day . The coals they hewed were of three
classes , —large , small , and dross ; they were not allowed any poy for the dross ; and it not unfrequently happened that the large was classed small , and the small classed dross ; and they were robbed in thia way ; besides having to pay bo much per week for a doctor , and so nruch for a schoolmaster , out of the miserable pittance left . The Scotch Bonfla "were abominable . He had seen some of them -which authorised tae owner to discharge his bound collier , when he liked , by giving bim fourteen days notice ; and empowering tha njaster to fine him 5 s . per day for every day , or part of a day , which lie stopped In bis house , after the expiration of tbe fourteen days . Mr . H . then described , the bad state of ventilation so injurious to health , and so dnngerous to life ; he litevme described the truck ( system , 'with which they were borne down to the very ground . _ Mr . Xtanielis said it would be only T .-astiny the preciout time of tht Conference , in him to give bis statement ;

an they were aimilar to those they had just heard from his colleague Mr . Hammond . A Delegate then proposed , that " the statement given by Messrs . Hammond and Daniellsiba deemed satisfactory .

Maudereon doorkeeper . ; The Secretary then read the minutes of the previous sittings , which were oonflrmed .
Mr . Henry Dennefc was called upon to give an account of the « 06 ietyia Lancashire , which was very gratifying . He gave an account of the schemes resorted to by the masters and their minions to break up the society in Lancashwe , but they bad failed . Some of the masters sent for bread and cheese and ale to treat the men , but . they could not induce them to desert their colours . Mr . Swallow enumerated tue great good done by the strict observance of Hhe restriction question in Lanca-?? L f . V ^ i * Pten ty 9 t work and there was a great liKeHbooa of amicable agreements being comt to between men and maaters . as the wage * were advanced a little already , and hopes entertained of a further advance . A delegate proposed that the statement respecting Lancashire by Mr . Dennet , &c , is highly satisfactory .
Mr . Divison , from North Wales , gave an account of th& progress , of Union iu that principality . He said he had been there six weeks before any progress -wotthspeakingof was made ; but he felt great pleasure in stating that such was not the case now . There were between two and three thousand cards and rules disposed of ; and he made no doubt but in a very short time there would be few Miners of any description out of the society . Mr . D . went on to describe the Truck System there , and * the advantages taken of tbe operative Colliers by the buttlea , who , although they did little , often had to draw from £ 20 to £ 25 at the quarters end , although furnished weekly with Truck to the amount of fifteeen or sixteen shillings ; whereas the poor Collier is only getting from seven to nine shillings truck of thia bind weekly out of tbe store , merely to keep soul and body together , and was often in debt at the end of the quarter .
The report of Mr . Davison was deemed satisfactory ; and it was agreed that , a reasonable sum abwuld be granted to Mr . Divison to defray his expences from North Wales to Newcastle out of the general fund , but tbat for tbe future no lecturer be allowed his expences for visiting his family , unless previous arrangements are made with tbe Executive to that effect . A discussion respecting the proper time to hold the next Conference took place , when it was agreed to be holden on the 1 st of January , 1844 , at Manchester , as formerly agreed to . The Committee entered the room with the plan for tbe guidance of all lecturers for the society , and having handed , a programmo of their arrangements to the Chairman , he read the first recommendation , which after being discussed at some length was adopted , namely : —
1 . Recommended that the lecturers be liable to be re * moved , and that they remain no longer than aix months in one county . 2 . Ihat the term of removal be determined by the official correspondence which toe Executive may receive from the county or district in which the lecturer has laboured . 3 . That the number of lecturers be proportionate to the Bize of the county and the wants of the places situated therein , to be under the surveilance of the Executive . 4 . That no lecturer of this society be allowed to mix polities with his addresses whilst agitating for the society ; but that they be required to urge the necessity of a Btrict observance of the restriction question . 5 . That any lecturer wilfully neglecting to observe any of the foregoing rales be expelled tbe office Of lecturer for this Association . —Agreed to .
A lengthy discussion took pUce respecting a strike , when it was ultimately agreed " That the further consideration of tbat subject be deferred until the next Conference ; and tbat in the meantime each colliery be required to make out a true statement of their grievances , lay the same before their employers , and if no redress is granted them , thai a faithful statement be laid before the public . " "That each colliery in tbe Association lay a statement of their grievances and a petition for redress before their masters on one day , viz—Monday , the 20 th November . " - ^ Agreed to .
