The names of most of the parties there mentioned are well known to the public as gentlemen whose characters stand high. in society, and whose unso!icited testimony must place these facts beyond possibility of contra diction. They have also kindly promised to answer the inqui ries of any who desire further particulars.. These facts have had the effect of creating an immense demand for the medicine, and, as is always the case, when this large sale be came known, certain unprincipled adventurers immediately set about preparing and offering to the public various counterfeits. Their statements exhibit the most unblushing effrontery, which is concealed under plausible pretexts, calculated to deceive the unwary. There is fortunately, however, a protection for the Public in the Government Stamp ; and although needy shop keepers may attempt, for the sake, of larger gain, to force the spurious sort upon you, be sure you purchase none without the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS are engraved on the Govern ment Stamp in white letters on a red ground.

" Gentlemen—We shall feel obliged by your repeating the last order for Parr's Life Pills, and forwarding immediately by Pickford's Rails. Instances of extraordinary cures are con tinually occurring to us by their agency. One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma, was, by taking two or three boxes, restored to health. Another instance is a man who had been Confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks; quite incapacitated for walking;. but-,by; - simply taking two or three boxes of Parr's Life Pills, can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health. I could enumerate many other instances, but these will suffice to prove the value of the medicine in ameliorating disease and confirming health. I remain, your obedient servant, • " For XL Moion; " JAMES BAYNE." GAMING IN PUBLIC-HOUSES. - The decision of. Sir Charles Wetherell, upon an appeal from the conviction' of certain Magistrates of Bristol, at the recent Quarter_Sessions in that eity, is of consider= able importance to the Licensed Victuallers of the United Kingdom, - =as going far towards settling the question upon which opinion has hitherto been much divided, touching - .the lawfulness of 'permitting certain innocent games to-be-played, for mere- pastime or amusement, in a public-house. 7 The facts of the case were simply these :—Mr. Lewis, of the Plume of Feathers Tavern, in Redclifr-street, Bristol, kept a bagatelle-table in one of the rooms of his house, and at this table it has been customary for some of his visitors to amuse themselves, occasionally, but without " playing for money or money's worth." An information - was - laid against him before three of the Magistrates, for permitting " gaming " in his house, against the statute and the tenour of his license • anti the -Magistrates had thereupon 'found hiM guilty of 'the offence, and fined him accordingly. The appeal was to the Recorder.' from this conviction. • The facts were ad nutted by the appellant, and it was admitted by the re spondents, that no, proof had been had that the playing alleged to have taken place-had been " for money or money's worth." . • In support of the 'conviction it was argued that the words of the statute, 9th George IV. c. 51, sot forth in the licence, " Nor shall permit or suffer the playing at unlawful games, or any other gaining whatsoever, com prehended gaming, or.playing at games of every descrip tion, whether of skill or chance, and whether for money or not in a Word, that " gaming" is playing at any sport, for any purpose whatsoever, and is contrary to the tenour of the publican's liCence. In' this view of the question the Court acquiesced, and the conviction was therefore confirmed; with costs. We are not disposed to find- fault with the .decision of Sir . Charles - Wetherell' as :an unsound one. On the contrary, we think it impossible to look into the gromids and reasons upon which it rests without being • satisfied that it is a fair . exposition of. the spirit and intention of the law as it now stands. The famous - statute; 33 Henry VIII., prohibits, by spe cial enactment, every game known at the time when it was passed, whether such game was played for money- or for mere sport. It was.the playing at the-game, and not what the game was played for, that was made to constitute an offence under the statute. •Then come the statutes of Charles 11. and of, Anne, .expressly prohibiting gaming for money, ; and adding several specific games to. those already enumerated in the prohibitory statute of Henry the Eighth. The games enumerated in these statutes are thus made " unfulgam e a" by Special enactment ; and then; as cumulative upon these " unlawful games," conic the words of the 9th-George IV., c. 51, " and . any Other gaining whatsoever," which gaming, as the Learned Judge remarked, must be taken ejusdem generis with those games which had been declared to be unlawful; and it is obvious that a bagatelle-table is ejusdem generis —a species of gaming of the same kind as the games de scribed in the preceding statutes. It is be thus to look -the 'matter fully in the face, in stead of expressing a ,doubt touching the: soundness of Sir,Charles Wetherell's law. The words of the statute under which publicani hold their licence are too carefully drawn, and are too 'stringent in their operation, to per mit playing at any game, however 'simple or rational—at any sport; however innocent and .recreative, and any attempt.to break through thent; therefore, will but place the' licence in jeopardy. • Whether the law is it reasonable and Wholesome law, is al together another question ;'and upon this point, we appre hend.there will not be much - diversity .of opinion amongst. reasonable men. It is, no doubt, right and proper enough to discourage and suppress gambling, and to prevent public-houses being made the resort of gamesters ; but that furnishes no reason why innocent amusement, rational sport, or skilful'recreations, should be altogether prohibited. The statutory• obligations upon licensed victuallers are sufficiently numerous and stringent, with out this severe prohibition, to preient disorderly conduct in their houses, whether arising from . gaming or from any other cause, and to punish them when such occurs and this sweeping prohibition is,. therefore, as unneces sary for any useful purpose,. as it is unreasonable and oppressive. - - The reasons assigned in the statute of Henry VIII. for the suppression of gaming, and •iepeated by Sir Charles Wetherell, taken together with the fact that gaming, or playing at games of every conceivable spe cies, is permitted in houses that do not fall within the Licensing Act, exhibit, in a very striking light, the ab surdity of the law as it now stands. These reasons are, that playing at games or sports has a tendency to draw ,people from their . Usual . occupations—to induce them to waste their time—ind to beget in them habits of idle ness. Not to remark upon the fact, that the same rea sons may be alleged against-all varieties and kinds of re creation, and that, therefore, they are not conclusive against gaming alone—it is Obvious that 'this tendency cannot attach to gaming iu public houses only. If such reasons be conclusive against bagatelle in. a pub lic-house, and. furnish a justification of the law which prohibits it there, they must be equallY conclusive against bagatelle, billiards, and every other game, when played in a coffee-house, or a smoking-divan. For ex ample : gaming is prohibited 'in the public-house, while it is permitted in all Other houses. The law will permit a man to open a house, and to keep it open for billiard and other play, in spite of its tendency - to draw men from their avocations, and to induce them to waste their time ; but it visits the licensed victualler with penalties and ruin, if he but occasionally permit his customers to recreate themselves with similar play ! What can be urged in favour of such a distinction as this ; or, what good reason can be given for thus placing the heavily taxed and closely-watched licensed victualler at such a disadvantage, in comparison with all the rest of society ? The law which does so is an unnecessary, an absurd, and an oppressive law, and should forthwith bo reformed.— Advertiser. The Abbe Gtasset, who died lately at .

TO THE DIRECTORS OE THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS ' AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAYS. GENTLEMEN—I think it' due' to the public to take notice in the manner most likely to arrest your attention, and to enforce - imkoved arrangements for •the future, of the great inconvenience, annoyance, and injustice to which a number' oryour passengers were subjected on Tuesday last. You have made considetable efforts to bring, upon your lines a portion of the traffic for the south, which would otherwise proceed by the Grand Junction ; 'but you appear to have made no adequate arrangements to secure the regular and timely convey ance of your passengers. On Tuesday last, a number 13f passengers, of whom I was one, took tickets at the Manchester, and other sta tions of the Manchester and Leeds line, for Barnsley, Sheffield, Derby, London, &c., by the 4. 45. p.m. train. We left Manchester at that time , and on arriving at the Normanton stati on , we found that the train -by which we should have been conveyed fOrward, had started not more than. two minutes before—in , fact, we had met the train within 300 yards of the platform.. No attempt was made to detain the South train foi the few moments that would have sulfided to detach our carriage. And there we were at Normanton, whence no other passenger train for the south . was to start until he . next morning. We applied to the station master to have a pilot en gine attached to our carriage, to convey us forward. It was a North Midland carriage, which we had been told at Manchester was there expressly for the south passen gers, in order that no time might be lost by a change of carriage at Normanton. Th ere , then, 'was the carriage at Normanton, ready to proceed, and there, too, stood-upon the rails, an unengagedoengine, with the steam up, whicq might have been attached to our carriage to, overtake the mail train; or, if not, to convey it forward to Derby. We strongly urged our claim to be thus, forwarded, but we were peremptorily told that such a thing, never had been, and could not now be done. But the offer was made, with that exquisite consideration in' which railway officials seem to be great proficients, not to send us south, accord ing to the engagement of our tickets, but to send us north to Leeds ! where we might stay for the night ; and whence gentlemen who had important engagements in London for the next morning, might then, instead of being at their destination, start for town ! This insulting pro posal was, of course, indignantly rejected. During the altercation which took place between us (the party of detained passengers), and the servants of the railway, we accidentally learned that Mr. Stansfield, one of the Directors of the North Midland, was' at the adjoining Hotel. To him, therefore, we repaired • and there we found also Mr. Craig, superintendent of the Leeds station. It appeared that Mr. Stansfield was in the same boat with ourselves, he having come from Man chester for the south. Mr. Stansfield and Mr. Craig concurred in telling us that they had no power to order out a special engine for, our' conveyance, and even as sured us that there was not a spare engine at the station, for that which we had seen belonged ,to the York -and * North Midland. It was also gravely represented to 'us by these gentlemen and the station master, that to send a special train would be very dangerous, because, as the mail train had not signalised that any other was to follow it, there might be rails taken up, or other work in pro gress on the line. But Mr. Stansfield and Mr.. Craig of fered us the alternative of being carried:north to. Leeds for the night, or being attached to the luggage train ex pected from Leeds at about half-past eight, and so Con • .- veyed, though late and slowly, towards our respective "tin ations- We chose the latter, but Mt without great . uneasiness, thinking of the danger mentioned by M?. Stansfield mid Mr. Craig, and remembering the late ter rific accident on the Great 'Western, to passengers :tra velling with a luggage train. Our anxiety was not a little increased at 13arnsley, by the attaching of several • heavy trucks behind our carriage, which in the event of any accident occasioning a. sodden stoppage, Would pro bably have overwhelmed us in the same way as the un fortunate .passengers on the (..rent" Western were •de- stroyed, on the occasion to which I hare referred... Hap pily, however, we arrived in safety, though late, at ABA- borough. • Thire Mr., Stanstielil, who' • had, throughout. conducted himself Avith the greatest politeneAs,' sumed an authority whieltwe blame him only for not hav ing exercised at Normanton. lle ordered out a pilot engine and a Royal`carriage (which was at Maslau-ough . to convey Lord Wharncliffe to town on the follow lug day) 'by ',which' we were Soon conveyed to Sheffield ; the • Ip assengers f or Derby, &c., having preceeded with the luggage .train. Brit , e7ea in the short rim from Mash orough to Sheffield; we -found fresh cause for uneasiness,--in -the discovery that the, tender ran before the engine---that unsafe and improper arriingenient which, - about twelve months ago,. caused a drdidful accident and the deaths of an engineer - and stoker, on this very line. We arrived at Sheffield a quarter before twelve. But the passengers for the south, on their arrival, at a late hour, at Derby, would have to remain there, until a quarter past eight - Mil the following morning, before they could proceed.t-O-town. I have thus given you a plain statement of the facts, a.nd•l remark that no sufficient reason but bad manage- Ment or negligence can be assigned for our arriving at Normanton too late for the south train; that arriving there immediately after the train had started, it would have been the easiest thing imaginable to stop the train for the few moments necessary to attach our carriage, and even had the detention amounted to five minutes, the loss could have been recovered with the utmost ease before arriving at the next station; and my third remark is, that if the isTormanton station be, as we were assured, unpro vided with a pilot engine, if the station master has no authority to' fulfil the engagements of the Companies With their passengers, this state of things betrays a shameful disregard of the rights of the public, and of the contract into, which the Companies - enter with their paSSengers. , Under the old system of coaching, the I public were= -- protected by the power which passen gers had to .provide themselves with another convey anee at the cost of . the coach proprietors. But since the Railway Companies, by keeping exclusively in their own hands the passenger traffic on their lines, depriVe the - public of this remedy, it is incumbent upon them not only to - make such arrangements as shall reduce the un certainties of travelling to the minimum, hut also to make provision for the prompt redress of such wrongs as the mismanagement of their servants may at any time cause. Their ene-agements with passengers ought to be kept With scrupulous fidelity. They have no right to throw upon the public all the y losS and inconveniences of, the casualties of the line.- When a bargain is made with -a passenger, by the issue of a ticket, to convey him to a given, place, by a given time, that passenger has a right to expect the utmost exertion to be made by the Company to overcome any accidental difficulty that May arise. But for Railway Companies, that hay e contracted to deliver passeng ers in L on d on , on t h e Wed nesday- juorning, to stiffer their understrappers at Nor manton to 'offer, •as - the only alternative in the case• of disappointment,. a conveyance. back to Leeds, is. adding insult to injury, and is a flagrant violation of that good faith vhich the public haVe a right to expect. I remain, Gentlemen, yours obediently, • THOMAS WILEY. No. 12, Qld Haymarket, Sheffield, Jan. 19, 1842. P.S.—I mould just add, that a short statement of the facts was made in the Company's banks, at Norrnanten, and signed by the following gentlemen and several others:—Mr. JobnArMitage, Mr. Wm.

GLOUCRSTER, THURSDAY AfORNINg:=:-Last night one of the greatest meetings- ever known in this county was held in the Shire`Hall of the city of Gloucester, for the purpose of discussing the question of the Corn-laws, and considering the propriety of adopting a petition to both Houses of Parliathent, prayiniv b a total and immediate repeal of the obnoxious tax on food. Seven o'clock' in the evening was the hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings but long before that period the immense hall was crowded to suffocation. Between two and three thousand artisans were preSent ; and the platform was occupied by some of the principal merchants of the ciiy.: . .- It will be seen that a foolish and abortive attempt was made by the Tory party to create disunion and confusion; but it failed, as it might be expected it Should. - _ , The MAYOR having been called to the chair by accla mation, proceeded to obserVe that the present meeting of the citizens of Gloucester had been called in consequence of a requisitiekePresented to him, most numerously • ' signed-4y the merchants, manufacturers, and others of the city. , - -- - .

Land tax £3,994,000 Other taxes AUSTRIA Land tax Other taxes 7,700,000" Thus it would be seen, that whilst all foreign countries of Any note paid in land tax more than equal to the other taxes, England paid about 1,000,0001. out of upwa r d s o f 50,000,0001. of taxation. He would therefore throw out a suggestion which he thought should be adopted through out England. That was, that a book should be opened in every borough, where all who were opposed to the existence of a tax upon food should enrol their names, pledging themselves to vote for no candidate but who was a Corn-law repealer.—(Loud cheers.) Their strength would thus be known. The petition was then read. J. G. FRANCILLON, Esq., seconded its adoption. W. ConrEn, Esq., then came forward to propose an amendment, when he was received with a burst of hisses and laughter, and it was in vain that he attempted to obtain a patient hearing. He at length retired from the platform, together with his Tory supporters. The petition was adopted without a dissentient voice. • Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and the meeting dispersed.
