SMITH, Glasgow. GENTLEIIEN,—I have been troubled for years with a dreadful palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all to no purpose, till I heard of PARR', wonderfnl LIFE PILLS, and a friend of mine desired met) try them, which I did. I bought them of Mr. Nelson, and lam happy to say that a box of them has completely restored me. " If this will do anything t• help your efforts you can make use of it. " I remain yours, respectfully, • ' • " JAMES SMITH." From Mr. MENRY B os.RBER, Druggist, Knutsford. " To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLZMEN,—I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S PILLS, and fieels assured they have been the means of saving his life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers is this neighbourhood. " DEAR have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, so that I eould scarcely eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able to lie down for nine months; having had the advice of several medical nin, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away with a violent pain in my head ; at last my friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. • Witness—John Thorpe." " Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eyes for twelve years, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least oenetit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PIL 14S, his eyes are quite well, and have been for some time. " Mrs. SMITH has bees troubled with a pain in her bead for many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken throe boles of PARRS PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box to persons troubled with a sick headache; I shall always have a supply by me. " These cases I have selected from a number of others, and can rely upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in giving every information to any person who may favour me with acall. " I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " Knutsford, June SO, 184'2." " HENRY BARBER, Druggist." From Mr. J. L. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, Bridgewater. " GENTLKMEN,--1f the enclosed lettor is of service, you ere at full liberty to publish it, the man seems rather to wish for the publication of his case. " I am, Gentlemen, yours obediently, "J. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, "To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " G ENTLEMEN,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD PARR'S PILLS, induces me, out of gratitude to the Proprietors, and a wish to be of use to the whole world, to add another testi. motilel to the numbers you have already received. For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in soy head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not bad an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had the advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I had dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodwari, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have recoived.-1 am, Gentlemen, your obliged and grateiul servant, " YIENRY NASIJ.

Numerous are the cases of relief being atlhrded in rheumatic, asthmatic, and liver complaints, sick head ache, coughs, colds, and diseases of the stomach and digestive organs, by taking these pills.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FRuM THE MORNING PAPERS OF Tins DAY. TIMES.—The League may now boast of another contri butor to its funds in the person of the Marquis of Westminster, whose letter to Mr. Wi!sm appeared in our columns last Satur,lay. By itself, and in itself, this is an unimi,ortant fact. The Noble Marquis's opinion is, perhaps, worth no more— except so far as it is accompanied by more substantial signs of conviction—than that of any other honest man. The Marquis of Westminster deems the present corn-laws to be very inju rious to the interests of the country, and he gives his 5001. to get rid of them. His opinion, therefore, individually and sepa rately considered, is only more valuable than that of John Smith or Thomas Brown, because 5001. is a larger sum than 1001., and far larger than 5/. Had the Marquis of Westmin ster been the only peer who professed himself a friend to the League, and evinced his friendship by the amount of his sub scription, it might reasonably have been said, " Lord Westmin ster is only one; he may entertain any opinions he likes; but his sentiments are neither reasons nor criteria ; they prove nothing; nay, his disinterestedness is questionable; lie is a great proprietor of land; but he is still greater as a proprietor of houses ; and it is notoriously calculated upon by many as certain that the repeal of the corn-laws will raise the rent of houses." This might have been said ; but now it can not. The Marquis of Westminster has only done what Lords Spencer, Ducie, Fitzwilliam, and Radnor, have done before him. He has brought the League into close connexion with every rank of the Peerage but the very highest. The adherence of five or six Peers of the most extensive possessions in the kingdom proves not only their hearty opposition to the sliding-scale, but also their confidence in the integrity, and their fearlessness of the projects, of those who are now con ducting the free trade movement. Or, if it be contended that it does not prove an implicit confidence in the moderation of their new associates, it at any rate demonstrates their convic tion that it is their interest to mitigate by coalition, and temper by conciliation, the feelings of a party which is too numerous to be overcome by opposition, too confident to be intimidated by menace. If they have taken this view of their position, we consider that they have thought right, and acted wisely. It is easy to dilute the strength against which it would be dangerous to contend. At the same time we would guard these Noble Lords and their adherents against the ready credulity which believes, or affects to believe, that the repeal of the corn-laws will give a general and perpetual impetus to trade and manu factures ; that it will increase the capital of the wealthy and the occupation of the industrious ; that it will in undate the kingdom with a stream of affluence, spreading over the country in a thousand subsidiary channels, im parting to agriculture the bristling energy of the loons, and to manufactures the healthy vitality of agriculture. This will not be so. The present corn-law is the consumptive remnant of a silly and noxious enactment. Its evils are in themselves not few, but when compared those of its predecessors, neither numerous nor oppressive. Still the substitution of a fixed duty would free commerce of its shackles, and is therefore a desirable measure. The utter annihilation of all duties would do very little mere, and would deprive the Treasury of a certain income, and is therefore not desirable. When Lord Westminster expects " that such would be the prosperity of all classes from the abolition of this impost, that in a very short time the general wealth would be so far aug mented, that the national revenue would outrun the amount of any duty that has been proposed," we fear that his Lordship has grievously mistaken and grossly overstated the advantages of any change in our commercial polity. We suspect that Lord Westminster must have doubted the efficacy of his panacea the moment after he penned the last quoted sentence ; for he concludes his letter by expressing a hope that the League will persevere in its endeavours " until it has obtained from Go vernment the fullest measure of free trade compatible with the maintenance of public credit." Yes, my Lord, public credit must be maintained. If it be not, no one class of the com munity can retain either comfort, or wealth, or safety. Im press this on the minds of your followers. Tell them that bread may be nominally cheap, and yet millions starve ; that public faith once violated, private honour and individual credit perish immediately ; that a reduction of taxes on one article will only stimulate demands for reduction on others ; until by feeble concessions to reiterated clamours, the national revenue is exhausted, the capital of the speculator depreciated, and the mechanic defrauded of his just wages ; and in the end, amid the competition of poor men for money, and of moneyed men for investmeet, quackery panders to the appetite of knavery by the suggestion of remedies which folly only could adopt, for the cure of evils which timely wisdom might have prevented. HERALD.—The commentators on the quarterly account of the revenue have taken too little notice of one part of the case,—namely, the estimated loss distinctly declared by Sir Robert Peel to be inevitable, on the various reductions made by him in the new tariff and other departments, in his budget of March, 1842. These he thus stated :—" The reduction in the 750 articles named in the tariff will entail a loss of 270,000/. The loss consequent on the reduction of the duty on coffee will be 170,000/. ; the loss on timber will be 600,000/. ; the loss arising from the repeal of the export duties on articles of Bri tish manufacture will be 100,000/. ; the loss on the duties on stage-coaches will be 70,0001.: total, 1,210,000/." And, after snaking all these reductions, Sir Robert concluded by only reckoning, even with the income-tax, on a surplus of 520,0001., whereas, in last Friday's Gazette, we are happy to perceive one of those brief but wholesome little notices so long lost sight of under the management of Whig linanciers—to wit, The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, hav ing certified to the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt, that the actual surplus revenue of the United Kingdom, for the year ending the 10th of Octo ber, 1843, amounted to the sum of 908,5411. 9s. 9d., the Commissioners kb hereby give notice," and so on, of the purchase of stock, in the ensuing quarter, to the amount of 227,135/., being one-fourth of the same. We have, then, now fairly get back into th e " o ld T ory ti mes " of a surplus revenue really applied to the redemption of d, lit. True, the surplus is not yet very large, but it is larger than Sir Robert Peel's calculation ; and it is one of the felici ties of a surplus revenue, whether in public or private hands, that it has a great tendency to grow. Another circumstance in the case which seems worthy of remark is this—it was prognosticated, and with some show of reason, that a consider able proportion of the payers of the income-tax would strive to save that tax by reductions in their general expenditure, and that thus the real proceeds cf the new tax w ould be set off and balanced by the losses on the old ones. But this seems not to have been the case, or at least the diminution thus caused has been more than counterbalanced by a title of increase. In the last two years the total produce of the Customs and Excise has been as follows :- 184') £30,482,614 1843 showing that the enormous sum of 5,2-19,2601. has been raised by the new tax, without pulling down the produce of the Cus toms and Excise one farthing. There can be no doubt that the eyes of the people will now be directed towards the ter mination of the income-tax, which, in due course, should ar rive, we believe, in the course of 1845. The Government, on the other hand, will have a natural wish, if the public voice would but permit it, to maintain a tax so simple, so easily raised, and so very productive. Besides, as no annual surplus of five millions can at present be looked for, the question will be, if so large a tax be wholly remitted, what other impost can be devised for supplying the deficiency which the loss of the income-tax would create. Doubtless the most popular course that the Government could take would be the main tenance of the income-tax, but dropping " Schedule D," the levy on the profits of trades and professions. This, assuredly, would be a most popular stet) ! But we cannot say that it would be just. Sir Benjamin Brodie, or Sir W. Follett, would be exempted, because their large incomes arise from " proles aims ;" while the poor widow, with her six children, living on a poor 1501, a year in the funds, would be still subject to the tax. This could hardly be defended. Yet, on the whole, we repeat, the continuance of the tax on real property, and the remission of it on the profits of trade, would be a highly po pular measure. The Government will probably reserve its decision on this point until the opening of the session of IMS. But its words and movements will be carefully wat ch toe what indications can be gathered of its disposition and inci pient intentions. ADVERTISER.—The Government has always at its com mand a mode of suppressing the League. It has only to liberate commerce from the shackles which so ingloriously enthral it, and the occupation of the League is for ever gone. It is not the League, but the causes which produced its ex istence, with which in reality the Government has to contend. The League is but the outward expression of that, which, for all its extinction, would still exist inwardly, until the cause be removed. The League is but the form—the body of a national necessity ; the aplrit is that cf a whole people demand ing a sufficient and generous supply of food. Abolish the laws which go to prohibit sufficient sustenance to the people, and the League on the instant becomes extinct; it falls through a self-inevitability. The folly of having at the League, is that of having against a people, who will not consent passively to be starved to death—of abusing a whole nation, because it will not continue to bend its head quietly to oligarchical and savage laws. And at this time of day, what excuse remains for not abolishing those injurious laws? The good of their destruction ; has it not been tried? The tariff, the infinitesi mal experiment of Sir Robert Peel, is a measure proving, in fact, the validity of the principles tending towards commer cial emancipation. If the revenue shows returns less em barrassed than formerly, it is owing to that tariff. If there has been more bought and sold in the country since the date of its enactment, it is as evidently owing to the same cause. If the prosperity of the country is or the rise, it is owing to no circumstance but one—the amend ment of our Customs Acts. But why does not Sir Robert Peel take warning from the fact, and enlarge the bounds of his reductions in the tariff? Treaties are useless. Even if they could be contracted, they are useless ; but they cannot even be negotiated, so there is an end to them. England i the coun try' which should set an example to other countries, to buy arel sell as its wants demand. The Times talks now of commerce that is free, but always with this reservation, that we leave it to ourselves to decide with whom we shall reciprocate commer cial licenses. To-morrow it will be different. 10-morrow, when opinion shall be a little more pushed forward, the limes will be among the first to own, that it is nonsense this etiquette of standing upon reciprocity. The Times has never the honour of expressing an opinion in advance. Its pride is to tally with the thoughts of the many of the moment. It never says an idea in anticipation. It is content if it establish popularity by giving expression to the sentiment of the interested herd. On the subject of the corn-laws, with all its boasted consistency, it must be evident to its readers, now going on the sliding-scale principle itself, it has approached the advocacy of greater free• dom in proportion as the public call for the same has become irre sistible. The Tinges only requires the Premier to come down with some substantial and large measure of commercial reform, to turn against, with its loudest denunciation, not only the sliding scale, but likewise fixed duty. The Times has no honour, or thus it could not consent to become the pander to the were brute opinions of ignorance. If it were as great as it is power ful, it would lend its instrumentality to enlighten the age, not to maintain men in their false notions. But the Prime Minister, seeing the working of his own most partial act of commercial reform, why does he, or, when the moment comes, can he hesitate to carry further the principle y We repeat, it is by this way he will abolish the League, if he be opposed, as his Cabinet undoubtedly is, to that Association. If any man living knows, Sir Robert Peel does, that the League owes its existence to the state of public opinion. It is public opinion which sus tains the Leagne, just the same as in, turn the League goes to create public Disinters, The vestion then that presents itself to be solved in the next session is, cite o Brito Cabinet resist and oppose the united opinion of a whole nation* This is the straightforward question that comes to be considered. The League is nothing more than the expression of a universally 044343;0W aoettipe desire, sentiment, and belief. Would • - • - the Government oppose this universal sentiment, and is it strong enough to do so if it wish ? '1 he thing is to lie seen. In the next few weeks the point will he tried t nil determined, whether a League in favour of, and supported by the people, or a Government opposed to them, is to tr.umpli ? POST.—The speeches delivered at the Colehes:cr meeting by Essex farmers are deserving of deep attention. These speeches are characterised not only by great ability—they are pervaded, moreover, by a truly patriutic si ir;t—by that feeling of attachment to country which is so little in ace irilance with the " philosophy "of modern times. The movement in fa vour of the policy of protection, which Essex has had the ho nour of originating, is net merely of great value in itself—it will, moreover, generate and diffuse very extensively sounder and juster views than now prevail as to trig nature of our social difficulties and dangers. The farmers of Essex tel that they are exposed to imminent danger. They know that in the suc cess of the League is involved the utter ruin of English agri culture. They know that the cow se of our industrial leois lation has, for years past, been in a wron g di, eet i tai ; but, able as their speeches at Colchester were—searching its were their expositions of the wrongs inflicted on English producers —the far mers of Essex did not advert to the most alarming- peculiarity in their position. Why have the farmet s of Essex found it ne cessary to hold public meetings in order to viitlicate their claim to legislative protection? Because, it missy be answered, the League is in the field—and because Ministers arc assertors of League principles. This is, undoubtedly, in a certain sense, the cause of these Essex demonstrations. Still, why should farmers appear in the hitherto untried character of agitators? Have they no public champions—no political re presentatives? Yes; in the House of Commons the farmers of Great Britain possess, nominally, a majoi ity of not less than one hundred ! Yet, despite this overwhelming majority (would it were other than a nominal one !), the farmers of Essex and of other counties are compelled to come forward, and in their own persons to vindicate their just rights. The farmers of Essex are deierving of all honour for their conduct ; but in exact proportion to the merit of the Essex farmers, must be admitted to be the demerit of all the Hollow f. far mers' friends" with whom the House /if Coli:sums abounds. These Essex meetings are meetings rel:idered necessary by the progress of the League ; but they constitute, at the same time, virtually votes of .censure on those trimmers and traitors by whom the present efforts of the honest yeomanry of England to protect themselves have be en rendered necessary. tiiihowdnhysal—toaefdwaoßlCuri.eloi:tiu,:rs);aytvaaekeb.i eepla cen Membert ur isa t i t t: t s : e r c i e t ue r h)ses t ila h loal ; s i k.. r pi d tl u a t cbe y e , hitonhveoestmh other h e r t em in ga l Chelms ford and at Colchester—the meetings which are ab , ut to take s k a w e t t h sternly at all the forms of danger by which they are sur rounded. They have much to fear from the desperate s.dfish riess and energy of the Leanse. They have much to fear from the affection which Ministers profess for " the principles of common sense." But British agricu turists have more to fear from the cowardice and imbecility of their " friends" in the House of Commons, than from any other cause. Let agriculturists out of doors, however, be true to themselves—and they will triumph over false friends, as well as over all classes of Leaguers. In Northamptonshire, a large body of most re spectable farmers have published an athlri st its which they justify their secession from an agricultural society, of which the Leaguer, Lord Spencer, is President. The movement is a manly and most wise one. Let the principle which animates these honest Northamptonshire fat mere be acted nu universally —and the cause of native industry will soon be triumphant. It is incumbent on farmers, if they would save themselves from ruin, to refuse to act in concert with men like Earl Spencer ; but if it be incumbent on farmers to repudiate such Presidents of agricultural societies, how much more incumbent is it on farmers to lepudiate such Par liamentary representatives as those who have lent themselves to the free trade policy of the last two sessions of Parliament? These are not times for the exhibition of false delicacy. The supporters of the 'I ariff and the Canada Corn Bill have approved themselves the English farmers enemies, and should be rejected by all agriculturists, as Lord Spencer has been rejected by the farmers of Northamptonshire. The farmers of Essex are rapidly collecting funds it ith the view of doing battle with the League. May good fortune attend their efforts ! Bnt the League, if it is to be rffectually grappled with, must be grappled with in the House of Commons as well as out of doors; and in the House of Commons tors is to be found no agricultural representative c anpetent to defend the rights of native industry against the assaults of Cobden ant his fellow-conspirators. Until men qualified to " do battle" with the League are placed in Parliament, all the efforts of agri culturists out of doors will avail little. Let the worthy yeo men of Essex, and Northamptonshire, and Lincolnshire 'solider this .‘ great fact ;" arid let them resolve, as soon as possible to turn it to fitting uses I Meanwhile, let farmers persevere in their new course of agitation; they will soon find their in terests more strongly fortified than they have been for the last two years!

NAVAL INTETIAGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 6.—The Lords of the Admiralty are effecting a very great improvement in the steam navy, by giving, as often as opportunities occur, additional propelling power to such steamers as may require it, which form a con siderable majority in the service. Hitherto the space occupied by the engine-room has been too extensive to admit of engines beyond a certain power being supplied to vessels, which power has been found to be inadequate to the s'zo and tonnage of the respective ships. The recent improvement in the engiaes, and the introduction of the tubular boilers. have given much ad. ditional space, that vessels can now be tiqed with engines of nearly double the horse-power they have hitherto carried, which will occupy even less space than the original smaller en gines. The Firefly, which is about to be commissi, tied for the surveying service by Captain "Iveyhv, has had her engines taken out, and been ,supplied with others of greater power. They were the engines of the Pticenix, of 2 . ..0 horse-power, which vessel is to be supplied with others of upwards of 300 horse-power. The Bonetta, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander E. E. Gray, has arrived at Chatham, where she is to be paid off. Previous to her leaving the coast a Africa, the Rapid, 10, Lieut. -Com mander E. C. Earle, had captured a Brazilian brigantine, named the Janerario, with 290 slaves on board, ls Ilia art ive , l at Sierra Leone on the 27th of November. Two other slave vessels arrived at Sierra Leone on the same day, a Brazilian brigantine of 199 tons, called the Independencia, and a schooner. These vessels were captured by the Madagascar, 44, Captain J. Foote. The Spy, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander S. Ot way Wooldridge, had also captured a Brazilian slaver, the Furia brig, with 530 slaves on board. She art irt dat Sierra Leone on the 28th of November. 'The Larne, 18, Commander J. W. Brisbane, is expected here next week from Sheerness. She is fully equipped for sea and has her full complement of men on board. The Styx, 6, Captain A. J. E. Vidal, h as a rr iv e d a t Sheer ness from the Azores, where she has been employed surveying. She put into Plymouth before proceeding eastward. The Sealark, 10, Commander J. L. Gooch, has sailed for the coast of Africa, with Commander W. H. Hill, the Go vernor at Cape Coast, and not of the Gambia, as Las been erroneously stated. The Governor of the Gambia is Com mander Edmund Norcott, who will sail for Bathurst in a few days. The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, which sailed from here on Monday last, had to beat down Channel against a very heavy gale. She proved herself to be a very capital sea-boat, and succeeded in reaching Plymouth on Wednesday. The report of the Cornwallis, 72, Captain P. Richards, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, being on the eve of returning home to England is incorrect. The Firebrand steam-frigate, at this port, and the Comus, 18, at Chatham, are the two vessels that will next be put in commission. There has been a considerable mortality on board the Wil berforce iron steamer, on the Coast of Africa. The Com mander, Lieutenant Moore, and several of her seamen have come home in the Bonetta invalided. Mr. W. D. Howe, clerk in charge, is stated to be among the number ti those who have died. The Vestal, '26, Captain Charles Talbot, is to leave Sheer ness to-day for Devonport, where she is to embark the Right Honourable R. Pakenham and suite, and convey them to New York. The Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. ackson, has been taken into dock at Devonport, and overhauled. It is found that she has not received much damage in getting on shore at lierehaven, on the coast of Ireland. The Satellite, IS, Commander It. 11. 13. Rowley, will be quite ready for sea by next Saturday. The Daring, building by Mr. White ; the Osprey by . Mr. Blake, both at this dockyard ; the Mut in.., by Mr. Fincham, and the Espiegle, by the students of the Naval College of Architecture, building at Chatham ; and the Kingti,her and Flying Fish, building at Pembroke Dockyard by the surveyor of the Navy, Sir William Symond, , , are all te be launched and fully rigged by June, when they will form an experimental squadron, for the purpose of testing their relative capabilities. They are each being lmilt upon the lines of their respective constructors, but the plan recently introduced in of giving breadth of beam, has been folowed by them all. The trial cruise will be of considerable interest. APPOINTMENTS.--Captain Edward P. Halstead to study at the Naval College. Commander H. G. Morris to command thf! Wolverine. Lieutenants—W. T.
