Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . i Cf p entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at VX your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PAHR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence of the groat good your pills are doingiin 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 whsjre the pills are tried , i A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .

      • _ ' -- , , the " late beeadful hurricane . TOTAL LOSS OP THE SHIP ENGLAND . To the already frightful catalogue of -wrecks -we have to add iht total Iobs of another fine ship , the England , Captain Thomas Lewis , belonging to London , -arhich foundered two days after the hurricuie in . seventy-eight feet of water , about nine mileB off © stood . The intelligence was brought hy Captain Lewis , -who -with the ehief mate , lit Claifce , and the ship ' s oook , * rrived off the Custom-house , at eleven o ' clock on ThniBday night hy the Belgian steamer

      The England jras of 425 tons burden , and belonged 'to Messrs / Ward and Son , ahip < mners a . t ShadwelL She % ss not insured . Ber crew , besides Captain Lewis , consisted of " first and second mates , carpenter and carpenter ' * mate , and sixteen seaimen . On the seventh inst , Bheleft the river ^ Thames for the coast of Africa with about 200 tons of ballast , ind arrived safe in the Bovnis on the following Thursday . They proceeded on the passage the same evening , having fair weather , the ¦ wind blowing a Ins hreeaa from the east However , at about one o ' clock on Pridav morning , when the ship had

      arrived between Pairley and Beachey Head , it commenced blowing a heavy gaJe , which increazed to one of the severest hurricanea ever experienced by the oldest ynnn on board . Capt . Lewis , upon the Btorm advancing , had the skip secured as snugly as possible ; all sail was shortened , and every man was upon deck ready in cas « of emergency . At about two o ' clock the appearance of the ¦ weather was awful ; hail , snow , and rain descended in torrents , the sea appeared like a boiling surf , the wares -rising a terrific height , and making a clear ireach over the vessel . Most ef the craw had

      lashed themselves to different parts of the vessel During the morning the ship laboured veiy hard , and i > y her conHaufllly pitching shifted her cargo of bal . ast ; so mueh bo , that by daybreak sbe was completely upon ier beam ends , and making a considerable quantity of "Watst . The crew made signals of distress , but no Tessel made its appearance daring that and me following day ; iut at seven o'clock on Sunday morning a 3 > ntch pilot-boat hove In sight . In the meanwhile the ¦ vessel had become "worse , tke crew suffering from cold and exhaustion . Daring Friday they made several attempts to work at the pumps ; but the storm still continuing -with unabated violence , ^ although several ¦ were lashed to the handles , they . were unable to keep a footing . Friday light and Saturday passed without any further success , and they remained lashed to the f * pp ™ g until late on Saturday night when the weather became somewhat £ ne , which enabled them to free UtemselTBs from the quarters where they had been

      tied nesriy forty-eight hoars . - Such was the situation of the ship then , that it was impossible to work at the primps , or . erea 'to launch the innsYmai , aKoi » yxnj fctreTrster with her gunwales completely ander , and her destruction "was-erpectcd by alL At daybreak tile following morning ( Sunday ) Captain lewiB sod the chief officers determined upon cutting away the mainmast , in the hope of throwing the vessel snore in an upright position , and in order to construct a raft In a few minutes after the order had been given the mast fell overboard , but it had little effect upon the ship . She lay with the bottom of her keel partially out of the water , and the gunwale some feet under . There was then upwards of ten feet of water in the bold , which was feat approaching the deck . Just as they commenced cosstructing the raft the pilot-boat , to Sbeir great delight , hove down towards them , and succeeded in leaching the England , and taking them safely off the wreck .

      The Dutch pilot-boat , at tie desire of Captain Lewis , remained alongside of the ship until she ^ rfc , -which took jplace in about two honra afterwards , about three leagues from the shore . The crew , upon their arrival at Flushing , were most landly treated by the authorities , who afforded them every comfort and assistance they could wish . The JMftnfa Consul at Flushing then forwarded them to Botterdam , which place they left for London . Loss of the Lilly of Litehpooi .. — "W o regret io state that this . splendid vessel ; insured by the underwriter's at Lloyd ' s to the extent of ^ 820 , 000 , the property of Mr . Maxwell , of Liverpool , was totally lost daring the tremeadous hurricane on friday week last , together with the Little Test of

      Southampton , and another ( name unknown ) , cpon the Taonton Sands , situate about two miles and a half to the north of tho North Lighthouse , in the Bristol ChanneL The ship wa 3 registered at about 600 tonshnrden . She had a general cargo on board , consisting of cotton and sSk-goods , hoxes of copper ore , gunpowder , muskets , sabres , « words , pieces of ordnance && ; , and at the period of the unfortunate ^ catastrope was upon her passage to Old Calabar , on the coast of Africa , About two hours after £ he struck , . a Tessel called the Appledore , Mr . "Williams , master , came alongside , and , by means of his boat , took the erew off in safety . Toej were-afterwards conveyed to the lighthonse , ¦ where every feomfort and kindnes 3 was shown to

      them .. We regret to add th ^ t som e time before the Tessel came ashore , a portion of the crew had forcibly broken into the store-room , and drank to such excess of spirits , that some were lying' aboni the deck in a shocking state of jnadness , and would have perished but | fbr the humanity of their messmates , who secured them to the rigging to prevent the sea washing them overboard ; and there they -remained until assistance arrived alongside of the "wreck . The « rew consisted of twenty-three men , "besides Captain Townes , the commander , and first and second males . Immediately before the wreck beine observed bv the Co * si Guard , » strong body

      of men vrere stationed along the coast to protect any part of the cargo that should be washed ashore . Towards morning , as the tide rose , the breakers threw the ship higher npon the sands , where she soob broke in half , and her cargo floated out , and ¦ was washed npon the beach . As night advanced a Imnd of desperate wreckers made their appearance and commenced plundering the cargo to a great extent . Seyaral were fired at by the Coa $ i Gnard without any serious result , but they still continued their depredatioas with the utmost impunity . Since then BeTeral of the principal offenders have been apprehended and committed for trial .

      IBELAKD , Nabtn , Ja » . 17 . —Last Friday morning , as the boats belonging to the Rosses Herring "F ishery were engaged in hauling their nets on the north side of the Isle of Axran , a violent gale . of wind suddenly sprung up from the north , and in a very short space of tame it increased to a perfect horricane . Every effort was made by the boatmen tojs&ebihe shore , "but , alas ! twelve poor fellows were doomed to a premature and watery grave ; ten of whom formed the crew of one of Mr . P . Forster * s large fishing yawl—the other two men were Io 3 t out of separate boats . A few dayB previous to this lamentable occurrence , as a boat was returning from Burton Port

      to Arran , she was capsized , and six persons out of nine were unfortunately drowned . One of the survivors died the following morning from the effects of She braises he received on the rocks while struggling to gain the shore . The continual storms which we have had since the 4 th , have paralysed the efforts of oar hardy fishermen ; and although there is every reason to believe that there is a large shoal of herlingg off the island of Ronanish , the tempestuous state of the weather has kept them from approaching the usual fishing-ground . Twenty-seven trains of nets , averaging seven each—inall about 190 nets , besides anchors , ropes , &c ^ have been lost by the Portnoo and BallyhiUagh fishermen on the morning of the 4 th inst .

      TraBgRKBtm , Jascaht 14 . —Loss op Foebikes Lttesv—I hoped to be able to send you fornxte publication ^ good account of onr herring fishery ; cut , alas ! Instead of a pleasing one , I am sorry to tell yon that a boat ' s crew , consisting of ten men , ¦ wer e all swallowed np in the deep hy a heavy s « a upsetting their boat , ilany other . boats were in great danger , but , fortunately , escaped with the greatest diffienhy . The night previous to the Ios 3 the boats all went ont and left their nets shot till next morning , when all went ont in hopes of getting of feh

      plenty ; hnt , melancholy to relate , while at the fishing ground at Aroonmore , a . sfcorm arose , and all hands strove to gain the shore ; one fine young man wasswept off his oar by &hnge wave , and wa 3 Jiever seen more . Another melancholy accident happened a few days previous to the loss above-mentioned . A boat from Aroonmore was returning home , when a storm arose , which upset the boat , and six brave men were thrown out , three of whom escaped a watery grave . I am sorry to have to acquaint yon of the loss of so many lives , many ef whom hare left large families to lament their loss .

      superintendent placed himself in immediate communication with Mr . Williams , the manager of the works at that place . About three p . m . information was received that about 2 , 000 workmen were proceeding from Qaakers ' -yard to Aberdare . The'superintendent accordingly concentrated his force in the neighbourhood of the works , with a view of observing their movements , and , if necessary , to descend upon them , it being arranged that Mr . "WiDiamB should try his endeavours , if required , before any appearance of the constabulary took place near the works , and , if required , to forward information to the superintendent . About 4 p . m . near 1000 in number appeared in sight , composed chiefly of Moamonthshirc colliers . It was evident thai they had

      received information of the arrival of the police , for they acted with extreme caution ; they did not attempt to approach near the works , but halted in a field adjoining , first obtaining the liberty of the owner . Tne leader "began to Bpeak , and impressed upon the rabble to be orderly , and not lay themselveB open to the law , for he was informed the police were at hand . They did not ask to see the agent or hold out any intimidation , the colliers being at work in the levels , and appearing determined to remain at work . About 6 o ' clock Mr . Williams cafled them up , when they did not join the anob , but retired apparently to theii respective homes . The mob , no doubt alarmed , and flnding they were frustrated in their object , dispersed in all directions . Upon their dispersion , Mr . -Saperintendent Davie 3 stationed officers in different parts of the works , with a view to

      prevent the committal of . damage to the machinery , phs , &c , during the night . The public-houses , beer-houses , and lodging-houses were searched , all strangers and siragglers from the mob were warned to depart , and told that if found begging they would be immediately apprehended . This had the desired effect , for they all , with a few exceptions , being housed by the workmen , left during the night . No intimidation or threats were used towards the colliers composing this colliery . On the following morning the manager was at his post to receive the workmen . Several came in their clean clothes , and refused to continue their work , assigning no reason . Superintendent Davies immediately proceeded to the works , and caused the requisite arrangements to be effected for the protection of property . AnotheT meeting was held on the 18 th inst . by the colliers between Pontaberbareoed and Blackwood . —Met thvr Guardian ,
