      STIRLING'S PILL FOR HEALTH AND LONG LIFE .- —SIR WILLUM'S ADVICE IT is well-known that the late Sir William Blizard paid the highest deference to the efficacious merits of STIRLING'S STOMACH PILLS , and earnestly recommended that no family whatever should be without them ; for , said he , in all oases of sudden illness , they could be at once safely administered to the sufferer , v ? ho , perhaps , before medical assistance could arrive , might be carried off , or p laced in imminent danger . Stirling ' s Stomach Pills have , in all eases , proved superior to every other medicine in the cure of stomach and liver < jqmplaints , loss of appetite , indigestion , gout , sensation of fullness and after meals , shortness of breath , and an excellent restorative after any excess at the table , as they cently cleanse the bowels , strengthen the

      ^ AJrXlVERSABY OF THB POLISH BETOtUTION . Wednesday , the 29 ih nit , being " ths thirteenth anni * -r ersaryof tbe PoliaH RevoMtfon , the Poiiib Befogg * , reajdeut is London , attended divine BCTTiW in UW Belgian Chapel , London Road , at ten . JL . lL , when , the officiating clergyman , their fellow-exile , the Bev BiXEjanski , dtEvered a touching disobnne , the text oi ¦ wh ich he had taken from St John , rrL 22 . At six 7 . x ., most dt them . attended a meeting at Sus&x Chambers , DiHe-tixeet , ~ St James's , -when Captain JaBLOSSXI , having been unanimooslj called to take the chair , addressed Ms countrymen at some length , -with nmch energy and feeling . He observed that the Polish nation , in spite of the sacrifices it had made to regain its independence , was still groaning

      vnder the yoie of its oppressors . Providence did not yet allow the Poles to enjoy the fruits of their labour in the cause of their country , hat doomed- them to « aff = r the pangs of their advenity , ttat they might be the better able to appreeitte their loss , and be wiser in their days of bxppiness . Sooner or later the hour of retrlbntion would arrive when Poland would regain ier liberty , and the perpetrators of those iniquities and crimes which have reduced her to her present state of wretchedness , would be humbled to the dnst . A nation of twenty minions Hire Poland , in which tbe sentiments of nationality we deeply rooted in the feosoms of the people , though partitioned and oppressed by its several despoilers , may be ailenoed and reduced te slavery for a time , but cannot

      be subdued for ever . Union constitutes -the physical force , and self-confidence the moral force of a nation ; possessing both these powers , any oppressed people is able to east off its fetters . The events of last war afforded the Pales a wmlnL , although painlnl lesson , that they should never depend on foreign assistance . Union ana confidence in their own force should be the principles from which they should never depart in their future straggles with their foe . Captain J&blonski having made an allusion to the indomitable perseverance of the brave Circassians , and denounced the system of intrigues and violence pursued by Russia in the affairs of Serri * sod Greece , arid tie -woold not afflict Ms countrymen by ennmersthig the sew deeds of persecution -Which the Cs » daily adds to that list with which they were already but too well acquainted ; he could sot resist , however , mentioning a horrible ukase , by which all the Catholics in the provinces of Tolhynia ,

      Padolia , and Ukraine , were ordered to embrace the Bnsso-Greek religion , in the coarse of two years , on pain of exile and the eonfiseaHon of their pmperty . In . contlUKon , CaptainJ&blondd raged upon his eoantryaen never to despond of their eanse , but to keep the firm belief that the day of restoration of their country was sot far distant ; basting in the justice of tbe Almighty and righteousness of their cause , they jnnrt continue in the meantime to bear all the Adversities of exile with resignation , " Though we have lost , with our country , all thai constitutes man ' s happiness in -this world , " said he , " th < T " gh vis are now -wanderers in foreign lands , exposed to many sufferings , and often passed by unmerited reproaches and bitter calumnies { for which we tare to thank the sleepless malignity of our enemy and his hirelings' ) , we stiD possess the best consolation , which a condition like ours will admit of , in the sympathy of a free nation , and the favour and support of its most illustrious citizens . "—[ Great applause ) .

      Mr . Maxxottsxi rose to propose the first resolution , to the following effect : — " That the Poles consider the Berolutfon of the 29 th or . November , 1830 , as still con&ndng , although the struggle on the battle-field has been interrupted ; that they have left their native land io protest , as tbej never ceased to do , against the gross injustice with whleh the political annihilation of their country has been accomplished ; and that they solemnly declare thai , trusting in Divine Providence and the justice of their cause , they will bear the hardships of their state with resignation-, and be always isady to sacrifice their lives in the defence of the independent existence of Poland in her ancient bound aries , and in the assertion of her -cavil asd political Ebsrtiae . " Mi . Xsczyksej seconded the resolution , which W * M wt ^ rfpd TTTmw ? Tnnn « 7 y

      Mr . Jackowsxi moved tbe second resolution ;—M That the thanks of the Polish refugees are dne to the British nation for the hospitality they have net with in this country , and for the protection tbey have found in its laws . In particular their thanks are due to the Corporation of the City of London , the Literary Associa tion of the Friends of Poland , the Bight Hon . Lord Dudley Coutta Stuart , and the other public bodies and private individuals who have evinced their sympathy with the misfortunes of Poland , and who have geneftmaly endeavoured to alleviate the hard position of the xefngee * . " Mr . P . F . ZALESKI leeondfldlhft sesdnUon , wHeb was carried ¦ unanimously .

      Mr . SzriczEWSKi rose and sored the third resolu tion , which was— " That the thanks of the Poles are doe to the editors of metropolitan and provincial journals for the noble manner in which tbey have advocated the cause of Poland , and raised their powerful voices against the unceasing persecution of which tb % t country is the victim . " Ttij resolution was seconded by Mr . Jastbzehbskj , sad cawied unanimously by tbe meeting . Two Polish poets , Mi . Dnewidd and Mr . Olizarowaki , read each a patriotic ode composed for the occasion , which made a most powerful impressien upon tbe Audience .

      ADDRESS OF THE " SCOTTISH ANTI-PERSEothon ; uniqn . " The severe sentences passed upon : Messrs . Paterson and Robinson , of Edinburgh , for the publication of works advocating unpopular opinions on religious topics , ( and therefore accounted blasphemous ) , must convince every reasonable individual that we do not possess , in Great Britain , that liberty of which we so often boast . Inquiry is checked , the press is fettered , and trammel * are placed upon the human mind . To aid strenuously in the removal of these iniquitous re strict ions , is therefore the duty of every man and woman who professes to be a lover of the truth , and a friend to mental emancipation .

      It seems strange , that in a country calling itself Pretestant , there . should be any necessity for bringing forward reasons against persecution for opinion ' s sake ; bnl the late proceedings in the High Court of Justiciary , show that such necessity really exists . Subjoined are a few " of the considerations pointing out tbe injustice and absurdity of the prosecutions referred to : — l . Blasphemy , if a crime at all , is undlseoverable by any fallible human tribunal It is a thing of chronology and geography . Jesus Christ was a blasphemer , according to the Jots , —Dr . Kalley , tbe Presbyterian Protestant , la now imprisoned in Madeira for being a blasphemer— according to the Roman Catholic authorities there—and Messrs . Paterson and Robinson are now incarcerated in Edinburgh , for being blasphemers , according to the authorities here . In short , every man vbho denies alt religions but his own , is an injidd and blasphemer io every religion except the one which he professes .

      2 . If me sect or body of men have a right to persecute , all have the same right Bente , were the principle and practice carried tut , society would be involved in continual confusion , cruelties , and atrocities , 3 . Society is further injured , by the repression of mental activity : corruption being the certain effect of stagnation . ¦ 4 . Sach prosecutions are detrimental to morality , in as much as they tend to produce deceit and hypocrisy . When men are punished for jpe&ting their sincere convictions , do not the punisben practically direct them to be hypocrites and liars ! S . If Religion be divine truth , it must be triumphant over Infidels without the aid of physical force . Indeed Christians often boast , that the most unanswerable defences of Christianity havebeen instigated by the writings of sceptics . Truth asks no assistance from dungeon ban , or policemen ' s batons .

      6 . Infidelity , or any false doctrines , or unjust vituperations of truth , can be refuted by argument and exposure only . 7—It is glaringly inconsistent in Protestants to punish men for being , like themselves , protesters against what ithey conceive to be error . By so doing they practically countenance tbe popish presumption of assumed infallibility . 8—History shews that persecution has rarely been successful in producing the end contemplated . In these days , when , thanks to tbe progress of liberalism , extirpation by fire and sword cannot be resorted to , the interference ot Courts of Xaw with the expression of opinion can never suppress them . 9 . Curiosity , zeal , and sympathy , are excited , and the demand for the prosecuted work is increased .

      10 . Belibf , er disbelief , being dependent on evidence , and not on the will , the bolts , bars , and walls of a prison cell , are sot the agents calculated to effect conversio&-11 . The supporters of oppression ' asd ' error are foes of a free press , because fl is a foe to them . A free press is the palladium of liberty , —a promoter of virtue , —a mighty contributor to enlightenment , and the means of eliciting truth . Injustice is seldom without an excuse , however flimsy ; and therefore many persona defend prosecutions began Be , in tieir opinion tbe parties prosecuted used strong language , harsh expressions , * nd ridJcnie ? and because mere abuse of Christianity can only be answered by punishment , not by argument To this we reply by asking , what right one man has to dictate to another the style he shall use ? Is it fair for one side

      in a controversy to be the sole arbiters of what is argument in a debate , and then proceed to inflict pains and penalties fer what , upon their dictum alone , is deemed Tillification ? Strong language is often necessary to express the truth . Jesus Christ spoke of some men as being *' serpents , " and " generations of vipers , " with other expressions of a like description . Luther , Calvin , Knox , and other great Reformers , have not thought it proper to oppose fatal errors in the polite terms of drawing-room phraseology , bat they hvre spoken bom the heart la withering denunciation of the corruption they have combatted . If any doctrines are false , we ought 'to call them false ; if taey are ridiculous , we ought to ridicule them ; and if contemptible , we should held them up to contempt . Strong impressions giro rise to strong expressions ; and His a violation of fair discussion to prevent any man from using the terms adequate to the imparting of bis ideas .

      It is untrue te assert that unfounded abuse and unfair ridicule cannot be answered . Fallacious argnments can be refuted , and unjust vilification may be exposed . If an individual erroneously endeavours to bring religion into contempt , let his charges be proven false ; but if he be persecuted for his opinion upon the rabject , we are led to suspect his charges to be true . Away , then , with this paltry pretence—tills sophistical attempt to countenance bigotry and intolerance . It is easy to perceive that opinions must be palpably irat ot palpably false , or ttelr character in this respect must be doubtful If evidently true , they ought not to be prosecuted ; if palpably false , they can do no mischief , and prosecstion is useless ; if doubtful , no authority has a right to decide by force , and suppress them by violence . Persecution has no plea left ; it stands before as in its naked deformity .

      The formation of a Scottish Anti-Persecution Union is the first fruit of tbe Scetch prosecutions . That Union is made up of individual professors of almost every kind of opinion—political and religious . It is formed for the sole purpose of Betting free the tongue and the press ; therefore all who are persecuted for expressing , or otherwise publishing their opinions , will have a legitimate claim to its support . The Scottish Anti-ProseeaUon TJnlon win neither be a party engine ; nor struggle for party or sectarian purposes , it win neither know nor care anything about opinions peculiar to individuals . If they are persecuted , the Union win recognise and aid them , simply because they ore persecuted .

      Let all professing liberality and enlightenment , unite then to forward these important objects . Assist with yonr pane or y < mx personal exertions—do JOBI dutyprovide tbe means of agitation , and , ere long , the land will be purged of persecution , and in truth shall we be enabled to say »• We are free . " By order of tbe Committee , Hekbt Jefpbbt , Secretary . Letters , money orders , && , to be addressed to Mr . H . Jefiery , Secretary , at W . & H . Robinson ' s , 11 , Greenside-Street , Edinburgh .

      Bukkb and the Riot Act—A member of Parliament when that body was honoured with the membership of Mr . Burke * was generally so dnll in his speeches that bis rising of ten was a signal to desert the benches . Having at one time thinned a fnll bouse down to a few dozsn , he unexpectedly called for the reading of the Riot Aot , to support something in tis argument ; Mr . Burke , who had been anxiously waiting to speak on the subject , could contain himself no longer , but jumping up , cried out , with an ( rresfatfbiy flomte air , * ' the Riot Act J my dear friend , the Riot Act ! to what purpose ? don't you see that the mob is completely , dispersed .

      CKJi'i'R . VL CRIMINAL COURT . —TRIAL FOR MTJRDER . f&efare Lord Desman and Mr . Baron Parke-J Edward Dwyer , aged 25 , hawker , was charged with file wilful murder of his ehDd , an infant , named Jamas 3 > wyer , on the 24 th of October last , by feloniously , and with malice aforethought , striking its head , by which tfi caused a mortal wound , and killed his said child . The prisoner was charged , on a second count ,-with the murder of a child , name unknown . Mr . Payne shortly stated the ease for the prosecution , and gave a narrative of the transaeti « n , the details of which have already appeared in this paper . According to tbe evidence of the witnesses on the trial , the mother ot the murdered chad bad exhibited even creator brutality than the wntehed father . Judging from the evidence , we should donbt if tttemiserable tp * p really knew what he was doing , when he committed the fearful act .

      Mr . WSkins addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner . He dwelt on the conduct of the mother , and suggested the possibility that the mother , who exhibited so Efctle affection to the child , might have injured it before she brought it to One ^ public-house . ^ If that was not a probable supposition , could the Jury believe that the prisoner , who was shown , by the evidence , to have exhibited such affection and tenderness towards the child , could all at once forget it , and designedly bave murdered his own offspring ? It was most improbable that this was the case , and if the prisoner was the cause of death , it was likely that it was accidental . The Learned Gentleman then laboured to . throw doubt on the prisoner ' s sanity , and his responsibility for his acts . It was evident that his language -iras most inco tjerent , and his Tniwnay was that of a person who was not in Ms senses .

      - The prisoner , who appeared a quiet and harmless looking person , shed tears alinost during tbe whole time that his Counsel was addressing the Jury . Lord Denman then summed up the evidence . The Jury , after a short deliberation , found the pri-• oaer guilty of murder , being under strong exdtationat the time . - Lord Dtmnsn then proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner , and said that tbe recommendation to mercy given by the Jury would be attended to and forwarded to the Crotrn , -where It wucld profcftbly be favonrably considered . The prisoner was then led away from the dock .

      THE LATE FATAL DUEL . At ten o ' clock on Saturday , the Lord Chi ef Jnsfice , and Mr . Justice Coltanaa entered the Court , Lord Denman teing accompanied by and conversing with the celebrated Prench advocate , M-Beayea . As soon as their Iiordihipa ten seated , The AttBzney-General rose and addressed tbe bench in a very low tone of voice . He was understood to say that he witt Mr Learned Trieod ( Mr , Waddington ) had been led to expect that Alexander Thompson Munro , against whom a true bill tad been returned by tbe Grand Jury at a former session of this court , for the wBfnl murder of David Lynar -Fawcett , wouldjsurrendeT and be prepared to take his trial on that charge today . At & late iiotrr last night , bowever , he had recejred a note from the legal adviser -of Mr . Mtmroj which informed hi » ftai Mr . Munro could nor surrender or appear to take his trial , ha having been attacked withinness , andbeJag theB lying eoffering from typhus fcveiL
