Every remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without effect ; her health suffered severely, and the stale of her legs was terri ble. 1 had often read your advertisements, and advised her to try your Pills and Ointment; autr, as a last resource, after every other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so, - - She - and. strange to relate, is now i, enced six b.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Francis Arnot, of B' eahonse, Lothian-road Edinbro', dated April 291 h, 1851. To Professor HottowAy,--LSir,—Foi more than twenty years my wife has been subject, from time to time, to attacks of inflammation in the side, for which she was bled and blis tered to a great extent, still the pain could not be removed. About' four years ago she saw, in the papers, the wonderful cures effected by your Pills and Ointment, and thought she would give them the trial.

AN application was made on Thursday, the 25th September, before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, ao RAe.ntor of the late Thomas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven tion of " improv.ments in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories for the Protection of Pape. a or other materials from Fire," for an injunction to restrain the defendant, John German Harri son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making, using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to he made, &c., during the remainder of the term mentioned in the Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas Milner, any Boxes, Safes, or other depositories made in such,or the like manner, or on the same or the like principle as be said Thomas Mil ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, or resembling the said Invention. - - Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbear• for the defendant, and affidavits ifi support of and in opposition to the motion were read. r's invention consisted in the use of substances, distriblit in an absorbent material in spaces between the outer a inner casings of the Box, which substances, when exposed o heat, evolved steam or moisture. the combined effect of le moisture and the material, kept humid, protecting the afes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire. The defendant soh ..afes and Boxes, which he represented to be made under a atent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon don, but which e plaintiff contended were substantially made according. to Milner's Invention, and were an infringe ment on his Patent. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the infringement, and tried in June last, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and a special jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, the defendant's counsel tendering a Bill of Exceptions to the direction of the learned judge on the construction of Mr. Milner's specification. Notwithstanding this verdict, the defendant Harrison had continued to sell the Boxes and Safes complained of, and the affidavits filed by the plaintiff proved the recent sale by defen dant of a Safe, which scientific witnesses stated was substan tially the same as those proved on the trial, and found to be an infringement. This was verified by Doctor Muspratt whose analysis accompanied his affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John Tann stated that he believed this Safe had been made by him and his partners, and he alleged that it was made according to their specification His HONOUR stated the principle on which the Court inter fered in cases of this kind, and observed that Tann's specifi cation appeared to contemplate only a dry non-conductor to stop the beat , whereas Nlilner's created a further obstruction to the fire, by producing at the period when the fire began to act on the box an effusion of steam, which pervaded the non conducting material with moisture, and thereby protected the Safe and its contents. His Honour adverted to the ong enjoy ment of the Patent which was grant e d i n 1840, t h e result of the trial at law, and the clear opinioni n the plaintiff's favour expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and in which his Honour concurred, stating that he considered Milner's was a Patent claiming every mode by which the liquid, &c., might be em ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion. PRESERVATION OF BOOKS, DEEDS, &c., FROM FIRE. COURT OF QUEEN S BENCH, JUNE 23RD, 1851, BEFORB LORD CAMPBELL AND A SPECIAL JURY. MILNER v. HARRISON. (The latter selling Tann's Safes and Boxes, and advertising himself assae proprietor of Tann's Patent Safes, Chests, 6:c.) The above trial was instituted for the purpose of vindicating the exclusive right, on the part of the Plaintiff, of applying liquids, or materials evolving moisture on the application of heat, together with ether absorbent materials, within the chambers of Boxes, Safes, or Depositories, calculated to per vade the chambers and contents of the safes with moisture and steam, when heated by fire, thereby preserving the papers from ignition. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Webster, appeared for the Plaintiff; and Sir F. The siger, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Hindmarsh, for the Defen dant. After the case had been stated by Mr. Crowder evidence was given by Mr. Grantham, of Liverpool, Civil Engineer and Surveyor of Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun.. of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W. Pilcher, of Liverpool ; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, of Liverpool; Dr. Sheridan Muspratt, Professor of Chymistry, Liverpool; Mr. John Smith, President of the Guardian Society, Liverpool ; Mr. B. Woodcroft, Professor of Machinery at the University College, London •, and by Mr. John Owens, one of the foremen of Alilner's Works for the last twenty years, on the utility, originality. &c., of Milner's Safes—of which upwards of 25,000 are now in use—and also of the infringe ment of Milner's Patent by the Defendant, whip was proved to have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he bad tested and sold, which he had seen used by the Plaintiff's firm, when in their service ns Shopman, from 1846 to 1849. This was followed by Sir F. Thesiger's reply for the Defendant, who called several witnesses, but whose testimony, on cross-exami nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Crowder finally addressed the Jury on the facts, and Lord CAMPBELL then summed up. This, te said, was an action for the infringement of a patent granted on the 26th of August, 1840, for certain alleged improvements in boxes for the protection of papers from fire. The defendant set up several defences, which he would not take exactly in their proper order. Ist. He said that there was nn proper specifica tion of this patent. 2dly. That Milner, the patentee, was nit the inventor ; also, that it was not a new invention, that it was not a useful invention; and that, at all events, the defendant had not infringed the patent. He had taken the evidence very fully, and if the jury thought it would assist them he would read it over. The Jury intimated that they did not think it necessary, Lord CAMPBELL then said, he should shortly direct their attention to the several questions they were to determine, for they were all for their determination. With regard to the in friiimcmont. he.would repeat the direction he had before given them. Here was the specification, and although lie thought this issue was hardly disputed, they must consider whether an ordinary workman, of ordinary skill, looking at it, could make one of the Nixes it described. The witnesses had said that an ordinary workman, in their judgment, would be able to do so. The next issue was with regard to the novelty of the inven tion. The third and fourth were so much alike that they might be taken as part of the same question. It lay on the plaintiff to show that this was a new invention, and if he gave prima facie evidence that it was so, the defen dant would have to show that it was not. Now there was cer tainly strong evidence on the part of the plaintiff to show that it was new. It was for them to say whether it was properly an invention for the protection of papers against fire. The papers were locked in an iron' b ox , h av i ng cases enclosed, leaving • • . ..ween V e two cases, and the object was to have ze that would give out a moisture upon the appli heat; and the steam thus produced was to be in the box and. moisten the papers so that they might be rved from the effects otfire.

THE WEEK has again been politically eventful; and must have been productive of uncomfortable sensations to the Whig-Radi , al party. Defeat after defeat attends their factious proceedings in the House of Commons ; and they are evidently fighting a losing battle out of doors. In Liverpool, their at tempts to get up a little steam are abortive. Their ward meetings are spiritless affairs, the same worn out cattle dragging round the same monotonous mill, and grinding the same wearisome statistics. We have the everlasting Mr. JEFFERY, and the two amiable WILLIAMS—EARLE and RATHBONE— everywhere ; the latter displaying a vitality, which is astounding in one of •such extreme old age, and a temper which indicates sleepless nights, and an un pleasant accumulation of acidity in the system ; but no impression appears to result from their melan- choly ravings. We are assured by our own reporter that, at the meeting at the Royal Hotel, yesterday week, a sketch of which we gave in our last pub lication, there were never, during the whole pro ceedings, more than from 70 to 100 persons present, although a platform had been provided, and other arrangements made to accommodate an audience of more than double the number ; and that, with the exception of Dr. BLACKBURNE, not a single lead ing member of the party was present. On Wed nesday night similar arrangements for a crowded meeting in St. Paul's Ward were made at the New York Hotel, Union-street. In anticipation, the floors of the room were actually propped ! At the hour, however, when the chair was advertised to be taken, three persons were present ; and when, some twenty minutes afterwards, Mr. Wm. RATHBONE, and the other peripatetic talkers, commenced pro ceedings, the attendance barely reached some twenty or thirty. Notwithstanding these sad— dening displays, it is said that the most flat tering accounts of the completion (?) of the can vass have gone up to head-quarters in London ; that Mr. CARDWELL has been pronounced safe, and that the New Brighton phenomenon is to be with drawn from amongst us, to be absorbed in the hungry crowd of " outs," who flit about the doors and lobbies of the Reform-club. The well informed, however, only smile at the ridiculous gasconading of the party ; and pronounce the whole affair as a sell. It is distressing that the Government of Lord DERBY will not accommodate their opponents with a good election cry. The "large loaf" and "the little loaf" do not take. The public do not believe that any set of men can seriously contemplate such changes as would be required to raise food to star vation prices. The " traitor" cry has received its quietus. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's "Free trade speech" can no longer serve the faction. Mr. DISRAELI is not going to betray any body; but to do precisely what was laid down for him from the first, viz., to be guided by the sense of the country in such a revision of our fiscal and commercial policy as may best promote the interests of all classes. The Militia Bill progresses satisfactorily; and the modest request of Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT to have it left for a little out-of-doors agi tation is declined. The cry for an early dissolution goes down no longer. Whig• Radicalism has stulti fied itself by prolonging the session with inter minable talk. The nominees of the League, in fact, dread an early dissolution, which to many of them must be political extinction. There are signs and portents around them, which show an unmistakeable inclination on the part of insulted constituencies to put an end, for ever, to the dictation of the intoler able quacks who hold the League purse, and who have so long persisted in foisting their creatures upon the acceptation of the public. What says Manchester upon this point ? The answer shall be given by an extract from the Report ut it comtuiLcce of Cuisberviative Free-traders, which has just been published : " It cannnot be denied that an extensive and increasing dissatisfaction has for some time existed in relation to the course pursued by both the present representatives. The committee express the sentiments of a large portion of electors when they bring charges against them such as the following :—That they have been at once the chiefs and vassals of a political club, which has employed the influence confided to the original Anti-Corn-law League in promoting measures totally foreign to its objects, and to the wishes of large classes of its original supporters ; that they have advocated the most extreme views upon subjects of general legislation, to the serious risk, if not to the actual injury, of the real interests of the commu nity ;—that they have, by their votes and interest, em barrassed the progress of sound, practical improvement; that they have acted, in at least one memorable instance, in direct opposition to the sentiments of the constituency, expressed with unparelleled unanimity and earnestness; that they have almost systematically evinced a contemp tuous intolerance of those who had the misfortune to dis sent from their opinions ;—that they have been inattentive to the local Interests of the borough, when those interests required the active services of its representatives in par. liament ; and, generally, that they have compromised the position to which former members for this borough have, by their diligence and moderation, been able to attain, in the respect of the constituency, and in the confidence of the country." This is a tolerably intelligible notice to quit for Mr. MILNER GIBSON and Mr. JOHN BRIGHT; and that it will be acted upon is certain, from the influential parties, composed of men of every shade of commercial politics, who are reported as having attended the public meeting in Manchester on Tues day last. The candidates are ready, and the funds are ready for the contest ; and we fancy we can perceive in this move a break-up of the League it self, by the secession of its most respectable sup tno distant date porters CHEETHAM for the county may, in this e The nomin ion of Mr 'ent, fail through. If men of moderate views can be found to contest Manchester, the stronghold of the Free trade party, they can surely he found for the Southern Division of Lancashire. The anomaly of 'and THOMPSON, W. J. Fox, and other spouting esenting the local interests of ma nufacturing bOroughs, may also be got rid of. It is stated that a compliment has been paid this week to the native talent and taste of Liverpool by iitect, Sir CHARLES BARRY, having adventurers re the eminent arcl FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. Wednesday was the anniversary of the Emperor Napo leon's death, when a funeral service of a most imposing description was performed at the Church of the Invalides, which the Prince President attended. He drove himself over to the sacred edifice in a small carriage and pair, and returned to the Elysee in the same manner, accompanied only by the Minister at War, and escorted by a detachment of cuirassiers. The legislative, and tho other constituted bodies of the state, were also present in their official costume. The decline in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents excites a good deal of attention as to its cause, but the stringency of the press law deters the conductors of the daily jour. nals, or the foreign correspondents resident in Paris, from communicating the alleged fact to the public, lest the circulation of falsehood should be charged to their account, and they be sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment The French budget for 1853 is now before the lei body. The expenditure is estimated at 1,447, francs. The floating debt is 627,000,000 francs.

Mr. DISRAELI said of his speech upon the budget : " When I brought forward my financial state ment, it was my intention—and I believe I fulfilled that intention—to express no opinion on any sub ject whatever. I confined myself to bringing before the House what I believed to be a complete view of our financial condition. (Hear.) I con fined myself to that duty, because it was necessary for me to terminate my observations by making a proposition which, abstractedly, as a measure of finance, I do not approve of." This is surely an answer sufficient to those who affected to have discovered in the speech in ques tion a leaning towards the policy of direct taxation. The honourable gentleman was equally explicit in his denial of having any intention to shirk the question upon which, mainly, his party were ele vated to power. Conceiving that, in bringing before the House of Commons a statement of the financial position of the country, it was not neces sary or desirable to introduce extraneous topics, he says : " Feeling that to be my only duty, I certainly made no particular reference to those classes of the community who are, in my mind, greatly suffering, and to whose sufferings it is, according to my opinion, the, duty of Parliament to apply some remedy. (Cheers.) I certainly communi cated to the House the important fact that in esti mating the revenue of the country it was necessary to make great allowances for reductions of rental and farming profits. (Hear, hear.) In the posi tion in which the Government, the House, and the country are placed, it would have been indiscreet in me on that occasion to have obtruded the opi nions which the Government may entertain with respect to the remedial measures such a state of affairs may require. After it has been publicly announced, and after that announcement has been accepted by the country, that on an occasion which is now not only not distant but imminent, the opi nion of the constituent body will be taken with respect to that subject especially, it would have been most improper in me, in making the financial state ment, to have troubled the House in detail with any schemes or measures that had reference to the alleviation of the sufferings of the agricultural classes. (Hear, hear.) In taking that course I think I acted in unison with the feelings of the majority of this house and of the country ; but, after the observa tions of my hon. friend the member for Evesham, I have no hesitation in saying that when her MAJESTY shall have recurred to the sense of her people, her Majesty's Government are prepared to introduce, in due season, those remedial measures which they believe are required by justice, and by regard to the permanent interests of the country. (Cheers.) I think there can be no misunderstand ing in this house or in the country on that subject. We are prepared to fulfil, as far as lies in our power, that policy with regard to the agricultural interest which we advocated on the other side of the house. (Cheers.) Strong, however, as may be our deter mination, and firm as may be our convictions, I still believe that on the occasion of making the financial statement it would have been a most un-called for proceeding to obtrude an explanation of our policy on the attention of the House of Commons. (Cheers.)" There can be no mistake in such a declaration as this. The Government of Lord DERBY is not about to imitate the example of the PEEL adminis tration, and to betray those confiding friends who have placed the destinies of the country in their hands. We should have wondered much, and confessed ourselves to have very wrongly estimated the high character of the Earl of DERBY and of his colleagues, had he, or they, contemplated any course so cowardly and so dishonourable.

The Crystal Palace at New York progresses slowly ; but half the capital is subscribed and none paid in. Only one article, a carpet, had arrived from Europe for exhibi tion. The steamer Peachontas, with 2,369 bales of cotton on board, had been burnt at New Orleans. The Charleston Mercury contains the following ac count of the early shipments of cotton from the States. " Among the exports of "Charles Town." from November, 1747, to November, 1748, are included seven bags of cotton wool, valued at £3. Ils. sd. per hag. In 1754 some cotton was again exported from South Carolina. In 1770, there were shipped to Liverpool three bales from New York, four bales from Virginia and Maryland, and three hales from North Carolina. Before the Revolutionary War, Virginia exported communibus annis, hemp. flaxseed, and cotton, to the value of 8,000 dollars. In 1784, an American vessel that carred eight bags to Liverpool was seized, on the ground that so much cotton could not be produced in the United States. In 1785. 14 bags ; in 1786, 6 bags ; in 1787, 109 bags ; in 1788, 382 bags ; in 1789, 842 bags ; and in 1780, 81 bags were received in Europe from this country. Of these, 153 bags were sent directly, and a portion of the remainder by the way of Philadelphia and New York, from Charleston. The first bag of cotton sold in South Carolina was purchased, in 1784, by J,,hn Teas dale, from Bryan Cape, then a factor in Charleston. The first bag of the wool exported from that city to Liverpool arrived January 20, 1785, per Diane, and was consigned to Messrs. J. and J. Tedsdalo and Co." From April, 1851, to April, 1852, nearly 14,000 persons had reached St. Louis, as emigrants. The President has explained to the Senate the nature and origin of the Japanese expedition. It is to secure a treaty with the Emperor, by which a line of steamers from California to China will possess facilities for coaling and watering. Much kindness had been shown to some shipwrecked Japanese sailors ; and it was hoped that if the Emperor did not consent to admit of intercourse, an island could be selected for deposit of articles and the commerce of the parties. The Southern Union Convention at Charleston will not support any candidate for the office of President or Vice• President unless he concur in the compromise measures. Advices from San Francisco to the lst of April state that the markets were brisk for produce of all kinds. The property of a Mr. Campbell had been greatly injured by a land slide. The cultivation of sugar was about to be introduced at St. Joaquim.
