Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1947, from' the highly-respectable Proprietor of the lio:commoss Journal. Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it, the other with three, they were in such a fe e l state that the effluvia from them was very great. Same time since he made a journey to Dublin for the purpose„.of consulting some of the most eminent professional men,b r ut returned home to his fa mily with the choice of either,ehe of two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or dial—On his-way home he met a gen tleman in the midi wholecommended the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, winch he had recourse to, and was per fectly cured by their means alone. (Signed) CHARLES TULLY, Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. To Professor Holloway. A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF ERYSIPLAS. In the following remarkable case E the lady had been both deaf and dumb from the virulence of the complaint. February 19th, 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-plice.Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with Erysipelas that she became (how ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf. from the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenbarn, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health. 13:10 Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure, it can alsoLe authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High street, Cheltenham. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ul cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles ; Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases , oug ht to be. used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by.using the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiegofoot, Yana, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis eases common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical climates. Burns. Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment.

SI have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion."

THE Jaws.—The present condition of the Jewish peo ple in England is more favourable than, perhaps, in any other country, or in any other age of the world, since their national ruin. The principles of Protestantism abhor persecution ; and although Protestant persecutors have existed, their crime has been always in open contradiction to their principle, always has been disavowed by Protes tants, and always has fallen into disuse with the progress of Protestantism. But the right of persecution having been always avowed by Rome, being still in the statutes of Rome, and being still claimed as one of the national privileges of infallibility, the Jews are still under ban in Rome, and in every country where power_is retained by Rome. In England the Jews are protected by the Tole ration Act of William and Mary. They may hold real estates, may be high sheriffs, and, in fact, may hold every privilege of British subjects, but admission to corporate offices and parliament. From those they are excluded W the 9th George IV., the oath being, " On the faith of a Christian," and the true objection being , not the desire of depressing the Jew, but the fear of injuring the Christian. Because those corporate offices are generally magistracies, which, implying the decision of causes on the oath of par ties, as Christians, it might be hazardous to put the power of deciding into hands which disregarded Christian oaths altogether. But as a sufficient answer to the charge of invidiousness, two Jews have, within these few years, been elected sheriffs of London. On the Continent, the progress of the eighteenth century produced a general amelioration in the state of the Jews. Some part of this fortunate change was due to themselves ; they had begun to enter into general commerce, and take some national interest in public and municipal affairs. A larger part was due to the increased intelligence of the age. 'I he emperor Joseph, the great "reformer" of every thing, right or wrong, gave them the general protection of the Christian l a ws. Frederick the Great, always boasting of liberality, and actually indifferent to all religions, gave them the be nefit of his neglect. But, as war was his employment, he . resolved that they should have no exception from his bel ligerency. After several bitter disputes with their Rabbis on the subject of Jewish soldiership, he contrived to raise a regiment of cavalry among theni, which, in his sarcastic sport, lie called Israelowsky ! But to make the Israelites warriors against their will was beyond even the skill of Frederick. He first intended to make thew lancers, but they entirely disapproved of the weapon ; he then tied them with the sabre, but they had no taste for the sword ; and, finally, he was forced to disband them. We shall not pledge ourgelvea for the exactness of this detail, but the ' story was long the anutteineut of Germsny.—Blackwood. DR. HAMPDEN. As an inducement to the Queen to change her mind with regard to Dr. Hampden, some of the modest clergy of Bristol diocese have " got up " a memorial, in which they say what is no doubt perfectly true :—" We are not aware that any inconvenience will accrue by setting aside the appointment of Dr. Hampden. It may occasion a temporary hiatus, a momentary chasm, in the arrange ments of the church ; but we can assure your grace that our church has within her bosom a thousand Curtii ready to leap into the gulph, and that we shall not befound want ing in the day of need." In other words, these persons in timate that there are in the church a host of tractarians, puseyites, and other waiters for the serving out of loaves and fishes, who would not for a moment refuse to be made bishops, in preference to being compelled to witness the elevation of Dr. Hampden to the episcopal throne. Can the Queen doubt their veracity in this par ticular ? The address to Dr. Hampden preparing in London, and which has upwards of six hundred signatures, contains the names of the great majority of the clergy of Chelten ham, Birmingham, Bury ; Staleybridge, and many other important localities. From Cheltenham and its neigh bourhood upwards of twenty have signed. In Oxford city the evangelical clergy, with the ex ception of one who stands in a peculiar position as regards one of the remonstrant bishops, have protested; and yet, withal, we are told that `• the Church " is against the Premier's act ! At Birmingham, a number of the leading clergy have signed an address of congratulation to Dr. Hampden. Among these are the rural dean (Rev. J. Garbett), the Rev. John C. Miller (Rector of St. Martin's), Rev. Sydney Gedge (of King Edward's School), Rev. E. Garbett, and Rev. J. 0. Oldham. Numerous addresses have appeared in favour of Dr. Hampden's appointment, one emanating from members of the Oxford Convocation, another a general one, and many others. To the first we observe appended the names of Lords Monson, Say and Sele, and Portman, Dr. Twiss, Mr. Garbett, Mr. Hallam, Dr. Tait, and others, about 250 in all. The Secretary of State has forwarded an answer to the Dean of Hereford's petition to her Majesty, in which he says—" I have had the honour to lay the petition before the Queen, and I am to inform you that her Majesty has not been pleased to issue any commands thereupon." LORD GRENVILLE AND DR. HAMPDEN.—Tho Globe gives the following extract from a letter dated Trentham, Dec. 18, which the Duke of Sutherland has addressed to the Rev. Dr. Bowles, vicar of Stanton Lacy, relative to the appointment of Dr. Hampden to the see of Hereford. His grace, after expressing his great satisfaction with the appointment, say s : " I happen to have means of knowing that when Lord Gran ville appointed Dr. Hampden to St. Mary Hall, he was not ac quainted personally with him, but collected, to the best of his power, the opinion of the University at the time, when Dr. Ilammien's lectures had already been for some months before the public. "The preponderance of opinion was greatly in his favour. "Some of those who have since been most bitterly violent then recommended him. " I believe that no disapprobation was expressed until the publication of his pamphlet in favour of the admission of dis senters to the university. " I have written this from feeling sure that it will he interest ing to you to know the opinion of such an authority as Lord Grenville, and you may make many use of the information I a thus able to give that may seem desirable."—Very truly yours, " SUTHERLAND." DR. ARNOLD'S OPINION OF DR. HAMPDEN. — The fol lowing passages relative to Dr. Hampden and his Bamp ton Lectures, are taken from Stanley's " Life of Dr. Ar nold," sixth edition, pp. 370 and 372 :—" Hampden is a good man and an able one, a lover of truth and fairness, and I should think that the wholesome air of such a man's lectures would tend to freshen men's faith, and assure them that it had a foundation to rest upon. Hampden's Bapton Lectures are a great work, entirely true in their main points, and I think most useful. * * I will add, however, that I agree for the most part with Hampden's views. * * But Hampden is doing what real Christian reformers have ever done, that the Protestants did with Catholicism. and the apostles with Judaism. He upholds the Articles as true in their substance, he maintains their usefulness, and the truth and importance of their doctrines; but he sees that the time is come when their phraseology requires to be protested against, as having, in fact, ob structed and embarrassed the reception of the very truths which they intend to inculcate. He is engaged in the same battle against technical theological language to which you (Rev. J. Hearne) and I have, I believe, an equal dis like; while he would join us thoroughly in condemning the errors against which the Articles were directed, and holds exactly the language and sentiments which Cranmer and Ridley, I believe, would hold if they were alive now." ANOTHER PROTEST FROM THE DEAN OF HEREFORD. Dr. Merewether, the Dean of Hereford, has addressed a letter to Lord John Russell, dated the 22d instant, in which he acknowledges the receipt of Sir G. Grey's reply to the petition to the Queen. The dean then enumerates the " special obligations to which he was bound " when matriculated to the University of Oxford, when ordained a priest, and when inducted to the deanery, and says, " I cannot divest my mind of the awful sense of the strin gency of those engagements at the present exigency." The dean then refers to a correspondence which he has already had with Lord John Russell, and in which he acknowledged that " he would abstain from any opinion on Dr. Hampden's writings, until he bad again fairly and attentively read them. That act of justice," he adds, " I have carefully performed, and I will add with an earnest desire to discover grounds upon which, in case of Dr. Hampden's ever occupying the high station for which he has been selected by your lordship, my mind might be re lieved from all distrust, and I might be enabled as cordi ally as possible to render that service which the relative duties of diocesan and dean and chapter involve. It is painful in the extreme to feel obliged to declare that I discover in those writings many assertions—not merely references to theories or impressions of others—but asser tions, which to my calm and deliberate appreciation, ap pear to be heterodoxical, I believe I may say heretical, and very, very much, which is most dangerous, most ob jectionable, calculated to weaken the hold which the religion we possess as yet obtains, and ought to obtain always, upon the minds of its professors. I feel certain that the perusal of several of these works by any of that class who, " by reason of use" (in cautious examination of such productions) "have not their senses exercised to dis cern both good and evil," would produce a doubt and dis trust in the teaching of our church, in her creeds,—her formularies,—her liturgy ; would rob them of the inesti mable joy and peace in believing, and be highly detri mental to the spread of true religion." The Dean then asks whether, such being his conviction, he would not be guilty of " deliberate perjury," " of a breach of his ordination vows," and "of unfaithfulness to the cathedral church of Hereford," "if by any act of his he promoted Dr. Hampden's elevation to the episcopal throne." Dr. Merewether thus alludes to his observance of the oath of allegiance:—c` It is not only the sense of legal obligation which would constrain me to a dutiful re gard to such observance. Few men have a greater cause to feel their duty in this respect, warmed by the sense of kindness and condescension from those of royal station, than myself. The memory of one who anxiously contem plated the future happiness and true glory of his successor, fixed indelibly those sentiments upon my heart. And, if for his sake only, who could to a long course of almost parental kindness add, in an affecting injunction, the ex pression of his wishes for my good upon his deathbed, I should never be found forgetful—even although I may never have taken in the present reign the oath of allegi ance—of that loyalty and devotion to my sovereign which is not less a duty of religion than the grateful and consti tutional homage of an English heart. Forgive me, my lord, for the reflection on that deathbed injunction, if I say, that had it been observed—as but for political and party influence it would have been—your lordship, the church, and the nation would have been spared this most unhappy trial, the results of which, as I have already again and again foreboded to your lordship, it is impossible to foresee." The Dean concludes his letter as follows : "But, alas! remonstrance seems unheeded, and if our venerable Primate and thirteen Bishops have raised their united voice of warning and intreaty to no purpose, it is no marvel that my humble supplication should have pleaded in vain, for time—for investigation—for some re gard to our. conscienoo6--.0.)......441.cati cm for our_nain ful and delicate position. "The time draws near—on Tuesday next the semblance of an election is to be exhibited. I ventured to assure your Lordship that I could not undertake to say that it would be an unanimous election ; I was bold enough to affirm that it would not be unanimous ; and I, in my turn, received the intimation and the caution, I will not say, the threat—that the law must be 'vindicated. Already have I assured your Lordship that the principle on which this painful affair is regarded, is that of the most solemn religious responsibility ; thousands regard it in this light. I have already told you my lord, that the watchword of such is this—" Whet&r it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto y ou more th an unto God, judge ye." I have anxiously implored your Lordship to pause—to avert the blow. I have long since told you the truth. 1 have endeavoured to prevent, by every means in my power, the commotion which has arisen, and the necessity of the performance of a painful duty. I hoped the conge d'elire would not be issued until a fair inquiry and investigation had been instituted. A suit has been commenced in the ecclesiastical courts — why not have awaited its issue ? When the eonge d'elire did appear, I at once presumed, humbly but faithfully, though I stood alone, to petition the Crown ; and now, when I am officially informed, that " her Majesty has not been pleased to issue any commands there upon," I feel it to be my bounden duty, after a full and calm deliberation on the whole subject, having counted the cost, but remembering the words of him whose most • unworthy servant I am—" He that loveth house or lands more than me is not worthy of me"'—loving my chil . dren dearly, and ardently desiring to complete the noble work which I have for seven years laboured to promote, yet not forgetting that there is an ' hour of death and a day of judgment,' when I trust, through the merits of my Redeemer, to be allowed to look up with hope, that I may be considered by the intercession of mercy and pity to have been faithful in the hour of trial, to have ' fought the good tight, to have kept the faith, to have finished my • coarse,' —believing that I risk much, and shall incur your Lordship's heavy displeasure, you may, if you will, direct the sword of power against me and mine—being certain that I preclude myself from that which might otherwise have been my lot, and expecting that I shall brit* down upon myself the abuse and blame of some—l say, my Lord, having fully counted the- cost, having weighed the sense of bounden duty in the one scale against the conse quences in the other, I have come to the deliberate resolve, that on Tuesday next no earthly consideration shall induce me to Pive my vote in the chapter of Hereford cathedral fur Dr. Hampden's elevation to the see of Hereford." DU. HAMPDEN'S ORTHODOXY. The following passages are from an admirable Bermes by Dr. Hampden, preached 13:3fore the University in 1839 on the text " The Lord our r ;hteousness : " We may without doubt r .ad in it the mind of the Spirit revealing to us . in one ihort mysterious phrase, the perfect divinity of our Lord, and the effectual grace of His atonement (p. 10). The work of man's salvation is wholly divine—divine in the means by which it is wrought—divine in its end.... the righteousness of the Gospel is not the righteousness of man, but of the Lord Himself, who has mercy on u 5.... the Lord Himself, Jehovah Himself, is become our right, eousness (p. 12). To all that we can do in working out our own salva tion through the grace of God giving us the will and working with u 5.... and yet, to remember that all this is nothing in order to our justification in the sight of dad to feel an unspeakable comfort in the revelation of the Lord as our righteousness ; this is the high pre rogative of a Gospel faith (p. 15). They know best the labour of self-denial in its trio Christian sense, as a denial of an intrinsic worth in human works—as entire renunciation of self in their plea before God—who are most actively and intensely purifying.... themselves from the pollutions of the flesh and the world. .... They best know the preciousness of a gifted righte ousness ; for they have sought after a personal righteous ness and have not attained to it. Repentance is necessary, but has no efficiency to repair the ruin of sin, and reinstate man in that righteousness in which he once stood. _ _ _ God will account none as righteous in His sight who are not careful to maintain good works.... but be that would hold fast to the foundation must feel that after he has dcne all, he is an unprofitable servant, and that the crown of righteousness laid up for him.... is not his own, but the Saviour's, who won it for him. What is more needful to the Christian than the divine grace the continued and unceasing influence of the Holy Spirit ? But shall he, therefore, derogate from the work of Christ ? Shall he think that anything is wanting to complete that righteousness which justifies him before God ? TS DR. TIAMPDEN FAIRLY TREATED We have received a pa-nphlet bearing this title, whiek contains the substance of a speech delivered at a meeting of the clergy at Aylesbury, on the 7th inst., by the Rev. J. B. Marsden, Vicar of Great Missenden, ho moved au amendment, in favour of Dr. 'Hampden. The reverends gentlemen, after taking a rapid review of the proceedings against Dr. Hampden in 1836 and 1842, urges with much force that the friends of Dr. Hampden have always maintained that he was unfairly treated. " For ten long years there have been men high in office and higher in private character, within the bosom of the University itself, who have never ceased to protest against that decision of convocation." _ Referring to the result of the appeal to convocation iaN 1842. Mr. Marsden says : " The sentence then was not reversed—except in a moral sense. For when you bear in mind that on this latter occasion twelve heads of houses voted for Dr. Hampden, and only three against him ! and that, of these twelve, fbur had been previously adverse ; I think you will at once concede that the moral weight and sense of the University was now arrayed on his behalf. Dr. Copleston, the Bishop of Llandaff, voted in his favour; so too did Dr. Short, the Bishop of Sodor and Man. The Bishop of Exeter recorded his vote against him. If gen— tlemen speak of theology, I ask them if Dr. Copleston is a superficial or an unsound divine ? If they speak of the respect which is due to the convocation, I ask them if Dr. Short was ever suspected of a want of affection for the University of Oxford ? If they speak of numbers, two such names are in themselves a host." The grounds on which Dr. Hampden and his friends. protest against the decisions of convocation are, that whereas he was condemned on the first occasion by a party of violent politicians. he was condemned a second time by a party of violent Tractarians; and Mr. Marsden. gives a melancholy list of those who headed the opposi tion against the Bishop—designate, as follows : " M'Mullen, Faber, St. John, J. Morais, Christie, Ryder, Oakley, Ward. Capes, Turner, Fcroaby, Meyrick, Northcote, Penny, Collyns, Coffin, Watts, Russell, Lewis; and, the document I hold in my hand adds, 'some twenty other seceders,' as they are mildly termed, now buried one and all in the dark recesses of the Romish super stition ! And this, Sir. is the censure which we Pro-. testants are invited to confirm to-day. These men are the arbiters of sound doctrine ; these are the judges at whose feet lam invited to sit down with meek submission. Sir, I scorn to do so." All our readers should put themselves in possession of this little pamphlet, which places in a small compass the whole facts connected with this melancholy case. We can only here make room for the following further extract : " And yet, sir, for myself I admit at once that there is much in Dr. Hampden's earlier writings which does not commend itself to my judgment. Ido not pledge myself to the approval of all that he has written. Is there any speculative divine to whom we can implicitly assent ? But it is one thing to be inconclusive or unsatisfactory, and another to be heretical. Heresy is a hard word to use; and I am sorry it has been used to-day, and applied so freely with reference to one who holds a place no lest! venerable than that of Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford. Your Regius Professor a heretic ! I trust that I at least have said nothing so unkind of the university as this ! A heretic is one who depraves the truth of God,. and does it intentionally. There must be the malus ani mus, I conceive, to constitute a heretic. I think Dr. Hampden's method of treating the doctrine of the Trinity in his early writings unfortunate. I think he fell into the snare to which men of learning and of speculative minds are very subject—that of attempting to simplify and illus trate the mysterious doctrines of revelation after the man ner of the schools. Such efforts always fail ; for the word of God rejects scholastic science from all co-partnery. But, sir, I need not remind this meeting that Dr. Hamp den is not the first of our divines who has made, or who has failed in, these endeavours. The impression that I gather from his writings, as he has since explained them, is this, in short,—that he ever held, substantially as we hold them, the great doctrines of salvation, and rested his own hopes of heaven where our's repose, on the Divine Mediator, who died for the sins of the world. " He denies, indeed, that the sense in which these extracts are read by his opponents is their proper sense. He denies that he ever meant to contravene the doctrine of a Trinity ; he wished, lie says, on the other hand, to rescue it from human glosses, that it might shine forth in its unclouded splendour. He is charged, again, with asserting that only the facts of Scripture are essential to salvation. He replies that the doctrines of Holy Scrip ture are facts in his sense of the word, and that he always so considered them,—so spoke of them." " Hampden's unfit to be a bishop!" "Why? "I never heard he wrote the Oxford tracts " " He has been guilty of worse heresy, " He says the scriptures only treat of facts." Is it for this you place beneath a ban Him, whom the throne hrth honoured? How dare yott Unchristian and disloyal I wrong a man For holding that God's written word is—true! Christ's College, Dec. 90, 184. There were yesterday, brought up before Mr. Rushton, at the police-court, no fewer than 206 prisoners. By far the greater number, however, were charged with but venial offences, and the mazistrate, as usuaal at Christmas times, was c)rgiving in all cases arising from indulgence in exhilarating drinks, unless the accused had been guilty of gross assault. Amongst the most splendid display in St. John's mar ket on Christmas eve, not only in quantity but in quality, we must name that of Mr. Denteth, which was not only good, but passing excellent. The beef was hugely large, and well fed, while the intermixing of lean and fat &noted the care in cutting. Six or seven l am b s , some o f w hi c h were bred in the vicinity, were equally fine. NEW YORK HAMS.—The improvement in American provisions is daily becoming more apparent. The rancid and salt importations of prior years are now being sup planted by those cured by English connoisseurs who have emigrated for the purpose of cultivating the provision trade. Indeed, some of those advertised in our paper of to-day, by Messrs. J. Taylor and Co., are equal to the once singly famed Cumberland—rich, sweet, and full cif — flavour. MR. REYNOLDSON'S LECTURES ON MESMERISM.-, —Mr. Reynoldson concluded a course of three lectures on this science on Tuesday last. During his discourse he dispelled many of the popular prejudices against its pro pagation, and Him - trued, by practical cases, many instances in which the curative powers of mesmerism were vouched for, by individuals who had received benefit from being placed under the influence of its agency. The audiences were most attentive, and seemed highly satisfied with that result. FRENCH EQUESTRIAN COMPANY.—ROYAL THEATRE.—The performances during the past week have continued to possess their varied and attractive character; and the audiences have nightly increased in number, and in respectability and fashion. On Fridayevening, we ob served the Earl of Sefton and a large party honoured the Amphitheatre with their presence. Yesterday, the first of a series of morning performances was given, and was very fashionably attended. Amongst the audience were a large number of the juvenile portion of the Company, who were highly delighted throughout. PANTOMIME AT THE THEATRE-ROYAL.--There was a good audience to see this Christmas treat last night ; and, considering the casualties attendant upon a first performance of the kind, when the machinery is frequently rather stiff, and the tricks consequently not properly - effective, it went off satisfactorily. The manager has evidently gone to great expense to p rov id e en t erta i nme nt for the young holiday-keepers. His Imperial Guard o 150 children are a set of miniature heroes, and with a little more training, will be fine fellows. The piece 18 founded upon the story of " Gulliver, or , the Kingdom of Lilliput." THE LOIN Or Bear.—For time immemorial the loin of beef at Christmas was held as the choice joint ;• . but when a king of England visited Houghton Tower, so pleased was he with the excellence of that fed in Lanca shire, and displayed at the banquet, that he momentarily dubbed it " Sir Loin "—a title it has ever s i nce ma i n t a i ne d. Could such a monarch visit the Oriental Divan, we call readily believe we should have the honour of knighthood conferred on sundry ether cuts. We should have the sip rounds, sir ribs, /on. steaks, and a string of other appel lations, indicatory of the superiority of the carcases they variously represent, as a.prelude to. ordinary, names. We were certainly surprised with viewing St. John's .Market and its various , and . choice display of meat, the pick or which was significantly ticketed—" For Mr. Feeny, Ori ental Divan," but on v isiting the latter establishment, we were perfectly esti:eluded.; for once the proprietor.moved his stock from his 'larder to the vestibule, which.; in ap pearanee, almost eclipsed perfection itself—the: rudte rounds, the thickfatted sirloin, the noble turkey ; yea, In fine, all the "geed's" this world could posiess, are dis played in mighty profusion.
