The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining .even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice. and every ether means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds luive experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was drat introduced. Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that per sons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheu maticklout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SIR,—As brevity will be the first claimant to editorial indulgence during a busy parliamentary session, I will waive exordium and state at once, that as the claims of Ireland have, by common consent and acclamation in the House of Commons, been allowed to be fastened as a right on the United Kingdom at large, so the house has, I contend, by that nem. con. decision, undeniably esta blished the claim of the parish of Liverpool to indemnity out of the public purse for the enormous expenditure in curred by the influx of Irish paupers into the parish pre cincts—an influx which it could not control, and for which it ought not to be held exclusively and pecuniarily responsible. I hope our parish authorities will not fail to take advantage of the feeling manifested and the ad missions made in the House of Commons during the late debates, but will, notwithstanding their recent defeat, again push, and strenuously too, their claim for indem nity, on the very ground taken by the several speakers, that a national calamity ought to be nationally met. To succeed, Mr. Editor, the importunity must be strong, and again and again repeated. A simple denial ought not and must not be taken, for our claims are indefeasible after what has passed in parliament; and right sure am I, that if we go with a demand instead of a request, success will be the result. I will only intrude on your space with one concluding remark, namely, that if we mean to relieve Ourselves of a larg3 portion of the heavy incumbrance now pressing on us, /cork—useful, productive, hard work—must be in sisted on as an equivalent for relief; and that relief shodd be given not in money, but in food. This is now tryiltg in Manchester with the happiest success. Out of tens of thousands that are now seeking relief at our hauls, there are thousands to whom any the slightest labcur, and the confinement it involves, would be a bug ben, and who would prefer a vagrant perambulation of anddistribution through the country, enjoying a better sup)ly of food with the pleasures of idleness, to the exer .cise of that honest industry to which our own native popilation is not only compelled, but is willing to bend. There ought eot to be, there cannot intact be, any diffi culty in finding -employment at a low rate of requital. Leta temporary "Board" be at once formed for the asconplishertent of this desideratum -1 nay, rather than failof the attempt, I would commence a new dock forth will—anything to test the willingness of individuals for work. Mare mot trespass further on your space, or out of a nunber of suggeAtions that I coald make, some one or moe would be •fount} to grapple with the difficulty, and rides , af the nuisance we are enduring. T. R. shall'be , glad to receive the suggestions of our oar resiondent. His remarks are pointed, and his arguments irresistible.] THE DESTITUTE IRISH. Bre' Vicarage, county Limerick, 26th January, 1847. • Al DEAR Ma. GROVES,—You anticipated the cause 'of my silence. My strength is failing, and I cannot obain' a single day's• rest to recruit ; but for the Lord's . gret and renewed mercy I must long since have sunk unler a burthen too heavy for one - already overworked. In districts like this all that merely secular labour, so eherfully and ably executed in large towns here as in :Eqland by laymen, falls with accumulated force chiefly onthe clergy of. our Church. I was obliged to make my- - set Tersonally responsible in order to secure for the itn • muse mass of the destitute in this place a sufficiency of 1 - feel at a reduced rate, otherwise plunder and starvation mist have long since ensued. Bruff Relief District, of Nykiell I' am honorary secretary, is nearly forty miles sqtare, and contains 14,783 inhabitants, of whom one :lnt,• at least, are in a state of destitution. Notwith striding all our exertions •at Sessions, &c., we have at lerh obtained employment on the public works for 1218 ,oriy. The Government officer allows but one ticket for wkrk in any family under six in number, and the average wges being Is. per day, you can see how inadequate that povision is to meet an exorbitantly high market. We hve been obliged, therefore, to sell, in opposition to the Cavernment regulation, whole wheaten meal and Indian ern meal, (now about £2O per ton,) at a weekly top on 1 tons per week of from £3O to £5O. We have expended it this way already, since September, £682 155., and, our find. is exhausted. The workhouse of the union was hilt for 800 paupers, and seldom had above 350 ; it now cutains 1400, and is closed against all other applicants tl further accommodation be provided. Besides a con ' tmally increasing number of labourers thrown upon us hfarmers and gentlemen after they have exhausted all • te` forced works upon which they previously employed tem ; besides these claimants, all who by age or infir-' city cannot work, are looking to us for relief; and nearly if) females, to the disgrace of humanity, are clamouring ft- employment on the roads. Such, my friend, is our cse. We have established a soup shop, for which I rised £6O, chiefly in England. am anxious to submit to your consideration my-de berate views on the ultimate results, .by God's blessing, o the present appalling calamity. Ireland contained at to commencement of our new trial an immense mass of por and uneducated people, compacted together by the osest bonds of political and ecclesiastical union. This ass was accumulating at the rate, I have been assured, ohalf a million a-year, and was mostly impenetrable to tHne truth and bitterly hostile to every thing English, Rile party men of every name were continually strength eing its influence, and sapping the antagonist system of or. Protestant Church. God only knows what would lire been the issue, had He not broken up the whole stern by the destruction of the potato crop—never again, Trust, to be our staple food; now the very people ,so lined are ranged on the same side with the benevolent Prtestants, lay and clerical, whom they were taught to eider hostile to them. Improvident marriages must ase ; industrious habits supersede idleness ; good food, gen crops, &c., must he nce f orwar d b e cu l t i vate d and cloyed t • and instead of making - Ireland a mere tool of 'Ay, all Parties must unite in raising her immediately to a exalted condition in the scale of nations, and the sivants of Christ 14bour more energetically and syste ntically than heretofore to spread the Gospel of peace, . riose fruits are righteousness, industry, and prosperity ievery nation where true Christianity prevails. 'n addition to what I have already stated, it is but just tonention that our own private resources are greatly strightened, by the loss of' our potatoes which greatly triel our families, by rise in the price of bread, now dable what was usual, and by the difficulty—almost im ptsibility—of getting in rents.—Believe me, your affec tiinte and obliged, GODFREY MASSIE.

At the Council Meeting tomorrow, Mr. Samuel Holme -will move " That a special committee be appointed to confer with the parochial authorities, and to take such steps•2B may be thought advisable under the present ex traordinary pressure upon the parochial funds and conse quent expense to the rate-payers; and that such commit tee have power, if theythink fit, by deputation or other wise, to make all necessary representations to Parlianient andthe Government on this important subject." . 'THE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.—Rapid com munication has for:years been an important .mechanical study, and its necessity, in these days of almost lightning locomotion, gave birth to that important invention,-=the electric telegraph,—which, though opening a new field for .scientific skill, has but proved the stepping-stone for greater and more significant designs. We have, during thepast week, had the pleasure of a private inspection of Messrs. Nott's electro-magnetic telegraph, the beautiful models of which have been on view at the Waterloo Hotel, :and we must without hesitation pronounce it less compli cated and more intelligible than ally we have hitherto seen ;—iudeed, it is so simple that an inspector, with one ..grain. of mechanical skill in his composition, would at once comprehend its principle and its application. In appearance it is not unlike a spring clock, and not any larger. Round the outer edge of the , dial there are two rows of letters, so placed that a complete alphabet is formed within every quarter circle ; round the centre are figures and stars, interspersed with the names of the several stations on the London and North. Western Rail way: From the centre of the dial is a balance-hand, the longett-end pointing to the letters, while the shorter one is to revolve round the circle of figures and stations. This hand is worked by a key similar to that of a piano, which, when pressed, causes the finger to move to the next let , ter, and on returning to its position, to that -succeeding, . the motive power bein g the ele c t r i c fluid acting on what is technically called " a dead beat escapement--(a toothed wheel, with latch stops) —a motion that mustbe unerring. If a signal has to be made to any station, the battering is turned on, and, by a slight movement of an indicator, the key works upon the bell, on which you strike the number, of the station to be communicated with. The finger is then-worked round the dial, passing slightly on the let . ters that spell the words of the required communication. All railway business is doge by figures and a book of re eference—thus, if 365 be telegraphed, it might signify, " the road is stopped between, '—and the figures passing on the names of the stations completes the sentence. In the electro-magnetic telegraph only one wire is used. and -that may be laid even under ground or water without detriment to the principle ; and at every station at which there is a dial, the communication will be simul taneously indicated, but should a private communication be required it can be most simply effected. The simpli city and efficiency of this invention form its beauty. There is no multiplicity of wires—no magnetic needles that, by their deflections, indicate the letters or words of a question or answer, but the thing is so simple that, on inspecting it, we placed ourselves in communication by the telegraph with one of the agents, and received the most prompt replies to our interrogations, and that with out the slightest difficulty. The expense of this inven tion is little over half the cost of the electric telegraph, and we learn that it is probable that it will be adopted I on the leading lines from Liverpool, as also along the • whole length of the Liverpool Docks. EFFECTS OF FOURPENNY ALE -UPON THE EYESIGHT.— At the meeting of the Liverpool licensed victuallers, on Friday, Mr. John May, publican, of Toxteth-park, spoke as- follows with reference to the effect of fourpenny ale ripen the eyesight :—lle was anxious to sec working men give up the use of low-priced ale, for they generally took a cold in their eyes by drinking laughter,)--and in flammation often took place.—(loud laughter.)—He actu ally knew one or two instances in which parties who drank fourpenny ale had entirely lost their eyesight. He had seen fellows smoking their nasty dirty pipes, and drinking a penny glass of ale, and asking the landlord for a bit of lemon, and then a bit of sugar, and then a bit of ginger to put into it ;—(continued laughter ;)—and he had often wondered .within himself how •there could be any Profit upon such a transaction. If brewers would brew nothing less - than 445. ale, they would not only benefit themselves, but they would prevent half the population from running blind.—(Cheers and laughter.) EXTINGUISHING nags WITHOUT ENGINES.—At the fire in Mason-street, Mr. MtDonald, of the Harrington Water Works, tested his plan of extinguishing fires by 'water throven direct from the mains, without the aid of the ordinary fire engines. Having procured sufficient length of hose, he caused them to be attached to a stand pipe in Tabley -street ; a jet of water was immediately projected with great.force on the burning ruins, and such was the effect produced by this one branch, that several engines which had been playing previously, were at once dispensed with by Lieut. Maxwell, and a continuous stream of water was poured on the smouldering ruins by this means, proving incenteetibly the superiority of the high pressure system, —a system which, if carried out on a comprehensive scale, will prove of inestimable value to the whole community. This branch poured a continuous stream of water from the time it was put in operation until yesterday morning. The altitude of the stream of water was much greater than that thrown by the ordinary fire-engines, as was clearly demonstrated. In fact.it was evident that-the effect produced by this one branch was equal •to -at least three ordinary engines. On Friday evening, Mr. - 11I'Donald tried the -effect which would be produced by inserting three similar branches in the same main. The result of this experiment was equally gratify ing with the first. Jets of water, of great altitude, being -projected from each, while that playing on the ruins- was not in the least diminished. With a power such as this 'for exthignishing,fires at our disposal, let us hope that no time will be lost ia having it made available in all eases.. • THE IRISH LANDLORDS. —Lord John Russell admits t that, on a moderate estimate, the loss by the potato crop . maybe taken at twelve millions of pounds sterling. Add ' the loss on oats, pigs, poultry, &c., and .perhaps eightceis .ntilliows will not more than coverit. Now on what prin ciple of justice or reason should this loss fall on the Irish landlords? Why arc they expected to make it good? Had they any hand. in causing it ? Was it -their breath that blighted the leaf and rotted the root, and plunged I our population in want and woe ? Why, then, are they to be visited with its coesequences ? Why are they to be I eingled out for spoliation ? Is it not enough that they exert'thenieelves to relieve the destitution in proportion to their means, without being required to swamp their properties, forego the edeication of their children, and . leave them Without proven when it pleases God-to euni men thernselves &old the scenes of sorrow and of suffering which they witness now ?• And w h e t. i s t rue of them is true of others. Wli is the harassed shopkeeper to be saddled with the burden of an "imperial ,cal am ity' when the bizrdens incident to his situation are greater than he can bear? Bending under the wei g ht of his, general oh- - tigations, is he to tie broken down by being subjected to this ? If so, what is the meaning' of those words of Lord John Russell ? Dow not "all insperiel calamity" imply an imperial responsibility ? and will. Ministers. discharge their duty if they inmese on a proxince what ought to be undertaken by an empire?

Within the forty-seven days number of persons who had been relieved in Liverpool on days that have elapsed, no fewer than 124 .persons have each day since the Ist of January last, distinguishing the been committed for trial. Indeed, when we review the English, Scotch, and Irish ; a similar return of the num- proceedings during the past few years we shall find the re her of persons relieved at Bristol, and at the ports on the trospect anything but satisfactory. I find that of the Clyde. The noble earl also moved for returns for the'cor- number of persons sent for trial during the three last responding period in 1846. years :—in 1544, 535 were committed ; in 1845, the Lord BROUGHAM said that since he last had the honour number was 573 ; and in 1846, 801 ; showing an in of addressing their lordships nn the subject of the distress crease of 230, which is equivalent to 38 percent. It may in Ireland he had received -a letter from a gentleman e who be, and I think it is the fact, that the strict a n d. searc hi ng had given him p erm ission to mention his name (Mr. enqu i r y w hi c h h as been instituted by the magistrates anal Howard Horseley, of Liverpool), and he believed that by this Court into the different cases, as they were bought whereever that gentleman was known he would be consi- before them, has had a salutary e ff ec t, b y remov i ng many dered a competent authority. - Mr. Horseley was what is offenders from the scene of their evil practices ; and it called a wholesale warehouseman, that was to say, he I might be expected that this course; if fully carried out, rented large premises which he let out to others, and he should have a greater effect in reducing the number of stated that he was paying at the present moment at the crimes committed in this town.. Such however is not the rate of £9OO per annum to the poor-rate alone, and if the . care, for erikt•ie is increasing. To account for this would number of paupers continued to increase there would be require deep and long investigation ; but I may be al no knowing what the result to housekeepers in Liverpool lowed, without entering into the subject at great length, to would be. For eight days previous to the 26th instant make a few remarks upon a matterofsuchimportancetothis the number relieved in Liverpool was 173,513 ; that was, large community. The earliest indicatien of the increase of pot persons, but the number of acts of relief. The amount indictable offences became apparent in AugustlB-15, a year of out-door relief for the week ending on the 23rd instant, nfpro - perity and success,when thepeople were earning well; as corresponding with the same week in last year, .was but when the vice of intoxication became more prevalent £4OB more, and of that sum 4=B had been expended in than it had usually been. Habits of excess have contri relieving the necessities of the Irish poor. Mr. Horseley buted much to swell the number of offences, and I there had written-to him with the view that the government' fore think the magistrates have done well in restricting should be made acquainted, as soon as possible, how the the granting of spirit licenses to public-houses in the rate-payers of Liverpool were suffering, in order that some borough, thereby lessening the facilities for the coin means might be adopted to affbrd relief. I mission of the vice of intoxication. But, nevertheless, it is to the increased intelligence, and improved morals, of the people that they must mainly look for any great or • permanent amendment of their habits. In the latter part of 18-16, there occurred it stagnation in trade, and business • generally, which had the effect of greatly reducing the amount of labour required to be done, and this especially affected those who had been employed in the neigh, bourhood of the docks. This want of employment was unfortunately productive of increased crime. Ano ther feature in the circumstance is, that during the last six months of that year, a large proportion Of the offenders were strangers, or nearly so. I find that out of 120 persons tried at the sessions within that period, 20 were new corners, and more than 20 were Irish. It is im possible to attribute the offences committed by :these strangers to any particular class, as they were so various, but I shall mention a few that occurred at the last ses ' sions, in order to illustrate the nature of the crimes A man was brought up charged with felony ' • 'he was respect- • alde in appearance, an d h a d b roug ht with him a good cha racter. It appeared lie had come from Ireland, with his wife, to seek employment here, and that when his money became exhausted, he was detected in a robbery of plate from a house in Brougham Terrace, He said in his defence that he was driven to the act by want. Another was a case of a young girl, just landed from Ireland. She was sent to gaol by the magistrates for some petty offence, and was out but a few days when she was detected stealing a pair of boots from a shop which she had enteredmi pre tence of wishing to bey a pair of shoes. The only other case he should mention, was that of a gang of four per sons who had entered a house in Parker-street, in the night, with intent to rob a watchmaker's shop. They were, however, observed by a servant, who gave the alarm, and they were all captured by the police. They were tried, and all sentenced to be transported. I wish to remark, that only one of the gang belonged to the town ; the other three were all strangers. Perhaps at the pre sent time, when thousands of destitute persons • sought refuge in this town, drivers from Ireland by famine, it is gratifying to find that few of this class appear before me charged with this offence. The fact proves that the re lief which has been so largely and judiciously given, has been attended with the most beneficial effects, not only relieving immediate wants, but tending to' the prevention of crime. I cannot but remark, while noticing offences, that the proportion of female offenders in this town (as shown by the present calendar), far exceeds that of any other. The general average —over the country— is about one-third, so that amongst the number of prisoners to be tried at these sessions, we might expect about 23 females ; but in place 'of that there are 40, or about one-third of the whole. Here again the new comers bear the largest proportion, and these especially from Ireland. 'Without making further speculations on the subject, which you may consider; it is incontettible that the tide of crime has been rising for some time, and is still rising in this town, though there is no town in which the magistrates have been more zealous and active in the suppression of crime. The learned gentleman then dismissed the jury to their duties, in the assurance that they would go through their business with ease, and in a manner that would give satis faction to the public. Some true bills having been fnuad, the trials proceeded. On Sunday last, the 31st of January, in obedience to the Queen's letter, two sermons were preached in Trinity Church, Southport, by the Rev. Jonathan Jackson; the • incumbent, and collections made, amounting to £35, to wards the relief of the distress in Ireland and some of the districts in Scotland. On Sunday morning last, sermons were preached in the various Wesleyan chapels in this town; in aid of the suffering Scotch and Irish, At BrUnswick Chapel the sum of £l2O was collected ; at Mount-pleasant Chapel, .. £75 ; at Stanhope -street Chapel, .kltio ; at Great Homer street Chapel, £34; and at Pitt -street Chapel, £l2 II s.

SAN'DOWN PARK BUILDING LAND SOCIETY..—The first annual meeting of this society took place at the George Hotel, Dale-street, on `Tuesday last k Henry Chapman, 'Esq., occupied the chair. The proprietors presentiwere William Jones, Esq., Messrs. Titherington, Chapman; Fell, llargreaves, Ecc les, Sherlock, Cropper, J. R. Isaac, f Cooper, Smith, 'Mollie,' Fulton, and Myrtle. The repo r t y drawn up by the secretary, an d balance sheet by the tree s surer, were read, and being highly satisfactory were, una ,s niniously passed.
