Read the follow ing:— " To Messrs. Pearson & Co., 110, London-road, Liverpool.— Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in making you acquainted with the great benefits I have realised in the use of Hollings worth's American Indian Sugar-coated Pills. For six months I had been afflicted with severe pains in my side, stomach, and back ? attended also with great loss of appetite. In the hope of alleviating my sufferings, I applied to several medical advisers, tried a variety of means, and spent much money ? but all to no good purpose, for notwithstanding all the medicines I took, I still got worse ; and to such a state of weakness was I reduced, that it was with great diraculty I could walk up stairs. My stomach so loathed my food, that I became extremely weak and hopeless, and expected not to live to see another Christmas day. Providentially I noticed an advertisement in the Liver pool Mercury, describing the renovating properties of your palatable Pillz; I procured a box at your establishment, and made a trial by taking a dose morning and evening for about two weeks, according to the printed directions; and now I am happy in stating publicly, that the use of the Pills has removed my distressing pains, and fully restored my appetite, so that I may say I have risen from near death's door. Any person calling at my residence may have every information. Although the time is so short since I first commenced taking your medi cine, I find my strength so increased that I can attend to my domestic affairs with pleasure. I mean to take a dose of Pills daily until I feel not a vestige of my late distressing complaint remains. You are at liberty to make this public, and use it in any way you think proper, for the benefit of my fellow-sufferers. Hoping all that are afflicted as I have been may use and realise the same benefits from your medicine, I remain, yours grate fully, " ELIZABETH WRIGHT.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN SUGAR-COATED PILLS carry off all impure matter, purge the bowels and all the fluids, cause a FREE AND HEALTHY CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD, give tone to the stomach, liver, lungs, and every organ of the human body, and thus prevent, alleviate, and CURE COMPLAINTS OF EVERY KIND, because THEY STRIKE AT THE ROOT OF DISEASE, and remove the cause : they cannot be taken according to di rections without decided benefit.

Of this high appreciation C. and A.

The following letter is strongly expressive of the advantages resulting from its use :-- ' " The Farm, Lymington, Hants, Feb 9, 1848. " Gentlemen,—ln justice to yon I think I ought to tell you that your BALM of COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair, which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it.

Ask for OLDRIDGE'S BALM, 1, Wellington-street, Strand A NEW INSURRECTION IN FRANCE. A telegraphic despatch, published in Saturday's Times, as to the disaffection manifested among the workmen in Paris, caused much uneasiness. These men appeared likely to be exceedingly troublesome in consequence of their inability to find employment, and the following movement by the executive commission. Pursuant to their termination to diminish the number of ouvriers, and the danger which their presence in such masses in Paris threatened to the public peace, the Government directed that a first draught of 3000 of them, inhabitants of the provinces, should be obliged to leave town for their homes on Thursday. They were supplied with money for their start, and with feuilles de route—orders for board and lodging at stated points of the journey. They left town certainly, but they halted immediately outside the barriers, where the wine is six sous cheaper than in the city, and there they spent a portion of the day and a large share of their travelling expenses. About 3 o'clock a body of those who had left by the barrier de Fountaine bleau, amounting to 400, returned into town, and paid a visit to the Executive Government at the Palace of the Luxembourg. They were received by M. Marie, who assured them that the Government were anxiously con sidering their claims. This they went to report to the workmen who were still dissatisfied, end commenced shouting " Down with Marie ; " " Down with the As sembly ; " " Vive Napoleon." A body of at least 5000 workmen with a flag marched to the quay of the Hotel de Ville, and thence to the Faubourg du Temple, with the intention, it was thought, of forming a junction with the workmen there. The National Guards were privately summoned at their houses to be ready to march, if re quired. For several days, amid tho quiet that prevailed, the clubs have not been idle in organising a very serious disturbance. On Friday the National Guards turned out and distinguished themselves honourably. They suffered much, but had few killed. M. Aurial, a banker at Havre, was killed. The insurgents now commenced erecting barricades at the Portes St. Denis and St. Martin, &c., when the conflict commenced. A body of some 25 men, commanded by a captain, attacked a formidable barricade at the Porte St. Martin. The people made a stout re sistance, and the fighting was still going on, when the captain climbed the barricade, leaped down on the oppo site side, and fought hand to hand with the insurgents. The National Guards folloWed their commander, and the barricade was finally carried and destroyed, but only after a hard conflict, in which many were killed and wounded. Whilst this was going on, the people were erecting bar ricades in other places, and every person was compelled to contribute, by throwing up one paving stone. The shopkeepers closed their shops, exclaiming that commerce now was completely ruined. The Bourse presented a very desolate appearance. At mid-day, a thunder storm of the most violent kind, came to the aid of government in suppressing the revolt. More vivid lightning or heavier rain was never seen. This, however, had little effect in quelling the disturbances. All the shops were shut, and fighting still going on. The correspondent of the Times, writing on Saturday afternoon, says,—" Paris is in a state of siege; General Cavaignac is the sole depository of power. The Execu tive Commission is no more; all the ministers have re signed. Since the date of my disp&teh of last night can non and musketry have not ceased to resound through Paris. The insurgents may be said to be everywhere, but principally in the Foubourgs Poissonniere, St. Martin, and St. Antoine, on the right hank of the river, in the Island,' and in the Quarter of St. Jacques and St. Victor on the left. The fighting that has taken place since the date of my letter of yesterday evening has been on both sides of the most determined character." On Friday and Saturday a continued conflict of the most murderor,s kind took place close to the terminus of the Northern Railroad, each party evincing the most un shrinking courage. On this occasion, and throughout the the whole of these disturbances, the guards behaved most honourably. Several of them were seen car ried along the streets in a wounded condition. The Boulevards, and all the principal streets were swept clean of passengers. In the quarters where no fighting was go ing on, Paris looked like a city when ravaged by a plague. Few people were passing, and those had the most sad countenances. The Times correspondent was frequently stopped as he moved along, and compelled to contribute his paving stone to the barricades. He was only allowed to proceed by saying that he was a surgeon visiting the wounded. The insurgents took possession of the Church of St. Jacques, and refused to surrender. During the day regiments of infantry continued to arrive with cannon, howitzers, and mortars, several of which were captured by the insurgents. On the whole line of the Boulevards not a single man out of uniform was to be seen. All passers by were stopped and searched, as it was found that ammunition had been passed to the insurgents by persons apparently unconnected with them. Several women were arrested, whose pockets were filled with cartridges. During the morning, M. Thayer, one of the richest proprietors in Paris, being the owner of the Passage des Panorames, received a severe wound, of which be died in a few hours. M. Bixio was also killed. M. Cave, the celebrated engineer, is said to have fallen. General Bedean and M. Clement Thomas were wounded, and General Lamonciere is said to have been killed. The guards manifested increased enthusiasm, and a proclamation appointing General Cavaignac, minister of war, commander-in-chief of the armed force in Paris was issued. A portion of the rails on the northern railroad between Paris and St. Denis was removed by the people to prevent the arrival of troops. The fighting was very severe at four o'clock opposite the Jardin Turc, and thence to the Bastille. The Faubourg St. Antoine was in the hands of the insurgents. At six o'clock the firing was less loud and frequent, and troops and National Guards continued to arrive ; and it was then hoped that the insurrection would be stopped by next day. This gave a momentary relief, but it was soon extinguished by the aspect, at every in stant, of wounded National Guards led or carried along the Boulevards. The people were fatigued, but still held out. Their great positions were, one at the top of the Faubourg Poissonniere and at the Barriere Rochechoncot. At the other barrios formidable barricades were thrown up, which were manned to overflow. The barricade at the summit of the Faubourg Poisonniers was constructed in the strongest possible way, but it was enfiladed and covered by crowds of insurgents in the houses in its vici nity. From these they kept up a deadly fire on the Na tional Guards and troops who attacked the barricade, and who were necessarily exposed to the fire of their adversa ries. The barricade itself was defended with a courage and a sand froid that bore no imprint of hesitation or wavering. "PARIS, SUNDAY, 7 O'CLOCK, A.M. " At half-past five o'clock this morning the drummers of the National Guard of all Paris began beating the gine= rale, thus removing all doubt that the contest would be renewed. In fact, it had already commenced by attempts to reconstruct the barricades of the Porte and Foubourg St. Denis, but they were defeated, and the men who had commenced forming them were quickly dispersed by the armed force. " Since 6 o'clock, they have been fighting at many points, but especially in the Place Baadoyer, at the rear of the Hotel de Ville. The noise of musketry and can non is occasionally distinctly heard. " The question may suggest itself, ' Why do you not ascertain the facts ?' The answer is, that I attempted just now to pass from the Boulevard Montmartre into the Rue Vivienne and was refused permission. At the moment I was remonstrating, M. Emilie de Girardin came up, and was in the same manner denied permission to pass, but on exhibiting his card, and declaring his qua lity of Reducteur en chef de la Presse, he was suffered to proceed in the direction of his own bureau. "9 O'CLOCK. " The fighting is still going on. I know not hoW it is with respect to the insurgents, but there have arrived 40,000 more troops of the line and National Guards from the provinces during the night. At this moment two re giments of infantry of the line are passing along the Bou levards, just arrived. They are covered with mud, and are loudly cheered by the National Guards, to whom they reply with enthusiasm. They seem animated with the very best spirit. Their appearance will have a vast effect on the National Guards, whose spirits were possibly be ginning to be affected by the incidents of the last two days. " You will have no other letter from me till to-morrow. The Commissary of Police has just given notice that every door must be closed at twelve o'clock, and that no person whatever will be suffered to appear in the streets after that hour. General Cavaignac is determined, in fact, on a last and great effort to quell the insurrection. It will be a fearful struggle. All the troops within 25 leagues of Paris are ordered to march on the capital. The utmost enthusiasm is said to pervade the National Guards of the departments, so that every moment will bring reinforce ments to the army and Notional Guards of Paris. " The notice to keep within doors is significant. It is as much as to say that every man out of uniform seen will be treated as an enemy, and the most terrible means taken for extinguishing the insurrection." " P.S.—lt is asserted that the passage by the Northern Railroad has been interrupted by the removal of some of the rails at St. Denis. The Rouen Railroad is all safe, and guarded by the military. " It is impossible to form an idea of the number of killed al:d wounded on both sides. Rumour says between 5000 and 10,000. " You are aware that the red flag has been hoisted by the insurgents. The war-cry of the National Guards and troops has been ' Viva la Republique ! ' That of the in surgents, Vire la Republique Dernocratique et Sociale The name of Louis Napoleon has not been pronounced since yesterday. A few cries of Vire Barbes ! ' have been heard, but they were not general." Our correspondent at Boulogne informs us that 100 National Guards from that town went off by the railroad on Saturday night to Paris, to assist in suppressing the revolt, and the Sous Prefet received a telegraphic dispatch from General Cavaignac yesterday morning,• announcing that large bodies of National Guards from all parts of France had arrived in the capital with the same praise worthy object. The despatch adds, "The Republic will triumph over anarchy." Another despatch, dated Paris, Saturday, 8 p,m., says— " The capital is in a most awful state. " Fighting continues with unabated fury. " The insurgents have encamped themselves in the Quartier St. Jacques. " General Cavaignac has ordered rockets to be thrown amongst the insurgents, " The slaughter is terrific." Three hundred more National Guards were to leave Boulogne for Paris at 3 yesterday afternoon. HUNGARY : FEARFUL DESTRUCTION.—The insurrec tion of the southern Sclavonians is proceeding in a dread ful manner. Carlowitz has been bombarded, and the town is completely destroyed, and but one smoking heap of ruins. No more is left of the splendid Cathedral and archducal palace. The insurgents there had mustered about 7000 men ; their priests had provided them with crosses. They had seized a Hungarian steamer and armed it. But their fanaticism could not prevail against the artillery and the excellent manoeuvres of the Hun garian military. They 'led after suffering severely. The town of Neusat, too, had taken part i n th e i nsurrec ti on, and prepared for a seige, but Baron Habrowsky told the Neusatzers he would treat their town as he had treated Carlowitz if they did not surrender in two hours. They surrendered. The soldiers had 10 men killed, the insur gents had several hundreds. 200 prisoners were brought to the fortress of Komori'. The Bann of Croatia has or ganized the insurrection ; in his province alone there is an army of 15,000 well-armed insurgents. THE INSURGENTS AT PARIS.—That there are many amongst the insurgents who fight because they suffered from hunger, is, I fear, but too true. I have just now seen a most respectable gentleman, who last night, after the firing in a great measura ceased, traversed the Fan burg St. Victor. He found in that quarter 500 barricades finished or in construction. He spoke to the men who were working at or guarding them, and found them civil, but determined to the last point of resolution. He asked one of them Why are you engaged in this dreadful occu pation ?' The man folded his arms and looked at him for some minutes, and then said, ' Because I starve. I have a wife and four children. I receive at the mayoralty 22 sous per day. That does not suffice to buy bread for us, cheap as bread is. Come with me to my home and you shall have the proof. After you shall have seen my family I will return to this barricade. lam hungry but I will not eat. I shall fall fighting. (Je see ferai tuer.) The gentleman accompanied him to his home, which was wretched in the extreme, and found the wife and children of the poor man without food. He gave them money, but he could not dissuade the husband amid father from re turning to the barricade.— Times correspondent. THE WAR IN DENMARK.
