COMPLAINTS INCIDENT TO CHILDREN.

In no country in the world are more children carried to an
early grave tean in this. Cough, measles, scarlatina, fevers,
and similar diseases attack the little suiterers, and death but
too often follows at a rapid pace; yet, if at the first stage of
the complaints, .parents were to have recourse to Hollo-
way's Pills, all danger would be avoided; for the stomach
and bowels being gently but effectually cleansed by this mild
aperient, the depraved humours corrected, and the secretions
duly regulated, a perfect
•cure is sign effected, and the little
patient is restored to sound health.

THE CHARACTER OF J. BRIGHT, ESQ., M.P.
BY A LIBERAL.

Mr. Bright certainly constitutes no exception
to the rule that the most censorious people: are-,
always the most thin-skinned. He rarely makes
a speech in which he does not complain of being
abused ; but he never makes one in which he is
not coarsely and vehemently abusive. In the
midst of a festival in honour of his most intimate
associates, and in the service of principles with
the advocacy of his own career is most
creditably identified, he falls to cursing. The
real fountain of that bitterness which is
said to spring up in the middle of delights
is in the breast of the member for Birming-
ham. Invited on Tuesday to assist his Manchester,
friends in giving a cordial welcome to a financial
seheme which promises to do so much for the pro=
motion of free-trade, he could not refrain from
indulging his favourite tendency. The irksome
task of having to praise anybody, or approve of
anything that either is, or is likely to be, done,
was soon abandoned for the more congenial
exercise of denouncing the naval and military
estimates. Of this in itself there might have
been no great reason to complain. As a member
of a sect professing the fanatical doctrine of non-
resistance, and as a man who systematically treats
as delusive every reason that is alleged for put-
ting the country in a position of readiness for
self defence, Mr. Bright's individual opinions can
never cause much surprise to' his fellow-country-
men, with whom, too, it is equally, certain that
they will always have extremely little weight.
But, as usual in expressing the eccentric views
which he is known to, entertain, he thought pro-
per to fall foul of the motives of those who differ
from him, and in the pursuit of the vicious prac-
tice:which so habitually lowers his character and
damages his influence, it is difficult to sr.y
.whether he displayed greater indecency in the
disrespect which he showed to the dead or the
calumnies which he heaped upon the. living.
Everybody remembers the Duke of -Welling-
ton's celebrated letter to Sir John Burgoyne on
the state of the national defences. To say that it
was the exclusive, or even the principal cause of
the anxiety which Parliament or the country
have recently evinced with regard to the
subject with which it dealt is absurd. It was
written, not as Mr. Bright asserts " a short
time" before its illuStrious author died, but
nearly six years before. Since then have oc-
curred the fall of the constitutional French
monarchy, the rise and fall- of the Republic,
and the restoration of the Empire. Since then
there haVe been several wars in Europe, two of
them of the_ greatest magnitude, for their dura-
tion, known to history ; and since then .every
great power on the Continent has made enor-
mous additions to its - armaments. Nevertheless
the letter conveyed a warning which the English
people still bear in mind, not less on account
of the transcendant greatness of the authority,
from which it emanated than because subse-
quent events have so abundantly confirmed the
impressions upon which it .was based. Mr.
Bright, it •appearS, harbours a grudge against this
letter and its author, because it was the first of a
series of admonitions which awoke the people to
a sense of
.the position of insecurity in which,
weakly relying on the eternity of the peace we
had so long enjoyed, they were content to rest.
He thinks it becoming in him, to say—dr at any
rate he ventures to say—that it was written
under the influence of mental disorder. " A short
•
time" he says,

"Before the :Duke died—even dukes, and illustrious
duke's, and 'iron' dukes (laughter) cannot stand
eighty years of age without bodily ailments and often
not without deterioration in the strength of their mental
powers—when he came near this age somebody, in his
growing weakness, cajoled him into writing a letter, the
precise contents of which I cannot now state, though I
have read it many times, but declaring the fearful con-
dition of our defences, how many years he had lived in
honour before the Queen and country, • how deplorable
it would be if certain direful consequences should arise
in consequence of non-attention to military affairs.
Upon this letter there has been a regular trade of im-
posture ever since:"
There follows a laboured attempt at some com-
parison between the Duke of. Wellington and a
certain noble patron of Holloway's ointment, the
exact bearing of which it is not much. easier to
understand than it is to appreciate its: taste ; after
which Mr. Bright resumes the 'theme ou which it
is sooagreeable to him to dilate.
"And so (he "says) the people who are interested in
this expenditure—interested in your toil—who think
that they have a patrimony in your industry—whose
main objects in life are expenditure, patronage, and
taxation—they have traded upon the letter of that re-
markable man—a letter written, not in his robust health,
either of body or of mind, but in his feeble age—and
upon that they have based a policy which, from that
time to this, has gone on gradually increasing expendi-
ture, and constantly creating and increasing alarms
tending to prevent any generally pacific feeling, and
especially between this country, and France."
We have said enough respecting the appro-
priateness
underofthe discussionse in
allusions to the
the m
subjectesti
estimates of
which
is brought
the army and navy for the present year. Re•
specting the spirit in which they are conceived, a
word will suffice. Decline of the powers of
the mind is not the consequence only of ad-
vanced age. The strongest man may allude to
so great a calamity with the humility inspired by
consciousness that it may overtake him even
in his prime. We think we remember that,
during Mr. Bright's protracted retirement from
active public life some little time ago, a large
Measure of delicate consideration for any real or
supposed infirmities under which he was labour-
ing was claimed by his friends, and generally if
not universally conceded. 'We think we remember
that when having happily recovered he delivered
a speech at Bradford, he bitterly and indignantly
rebuked Lord Kinnaird for having insinuated
that his judgment might not, be so strong as
it had been before his unfortunate indisposition.
But what is more to the purpose—and what'
cannot be said in all instances where 'such as-
persions are rudely cast—we never heard that
the Duke of Wellington was suffering from even
a temporary disturbance of the mental firmness_ie
and serenity for which he had been all his
