AS it is conceived that the following facts have
been much misrepresented, and that a correct statement
would prove acceptable to all those who prefer truth to false-
hood, and who wish that some check should be given to this
too prevalent vice, which is of much greater enormity than
many persons seem to be aware of, the means is now afforded
of forming an accurate opinion, which is always much to be
desired :—A few years since, Mr. Edward Farrell, being in ill
health, and lodging at an hotel, where he remained at the par-
ticular request of the proprietor and his wife, a person came
there, and took him into custody, and treated him with the
greatest barbarity, without any provocation: he baund his
arms and legs with cords, threw him on the floor, and leaped
upon him with his utmost force; and, being an athletic person,
broke some of his ribs, and inflicted other grievous bodily
injuries upan him, and would not permit him to obtain any
professional aid. In this state he had to make a journey of up-
wards of 440 miles. The hotel-keeper presented his bill at
night, and insisted upon the immediate payment, and declared,
if his demand was not instantly complied with, he should he
given in charge to six men in the morning, who would be
entertained at his expense in the hotel, and who would have
power to treat him as they pleased. He positively asserted
that he had no knowledge whatever of the person who had
been sent into the hotel, and from himself no information could
be obtained, but that he was authorized to act as he pleased,
but would not state from whom he received this authority.
The hotel-keeper's bill for three weeks amounted to nearly 50/.
As soon as the invalid's health was restored he returned to this
country, and used every means in his power to cause this
matter to be investigated, but could not succeed. A very dis-
graceful robbery was committed upon him at another hotel, of
which he gave notice at one of the public offices, but could
not obtain redress. A most atrocious outrage was committed
in his name on some of his tenants, which has caused the most
calamitous results. His life was frequently threatened by the
entinels on duty in the most public streets of the city of
sDublin, who alleged that they received orders to that effect.
It has frequently been at the imminent risk of his life that he
applied for medical advice ! and if such as he had received were
given to many others, it would most probably have cost the
practitioner his life. A most diabolical outrage was committed
some time since, at a place of worship in this city, which
diould have subjected the saeriligious wretch to the punishment
of death. The many proofs of inveterate animosity which he
has experienced would exceed credibility. He has been, from
principle, always opposed to faction, being fully convinced that
until a spirit of independence is extensively established, the
human race will not possess that happiness which they were
created to enjoy.

THE MORALITY OF " THE TIMES' JOURNAL.
—There is mi journal in the metropolis,,and it is extremely
doubtful whether there is one to be found in the w or!d, which
has alternately displayed so mush insincerity and baseness as
Tile Times, a newspaper which has advocated and betrayed
every party with which it has been connected. The following
are extracts from that journal, and nothing can be more revolt-
ing to an honest mind than the evidence they afford of the
utter want of morality and the absence of truth and candour in
the Editors. It will be seen that, in 1834, the immaculate
Times lent its assistance to Chartism, while in 1837, only three
years afterwards, the honest Editors were absolutely rabid in
their delight of Toryism ; but that may be accounted for by
the fact, that the same men who write the leading articles for
it now, about the year 1835 suffered their consciences to be sold
by private contract, with the types and machines, to the Carlton
Club ! Men of England, this is the organ which it was in-
tended by the Conservatives should " guide public opinion !"

Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, Patentee of t.;e
amber Spectacles. Inventor of the Improved Voice Conductors
for the relief of deafness, No. 36, Old Bond-street, and No. 1,
Old Jewry. City, considers it necessary to call particular atten •
tion to his Address, in consequence of the mistakes arising
from a similarity of names, and the means thus afforded to
advantage thereby ;
those who may wish to derive
as a proof of
which, he submits for public perusal the following advertise-
ment, which appeared in the Morning Post on the sth of No-
vember, 1839, from the Messrs. S. and B. Solomees, of Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly :—" From Dr. F. 11. Ramsbotham,
M.D. The newly-invented spectacle lenses of the Messrs.
Solomons appear to lift the veil of indistinctness
thrown over
the beauties of nature and the page of love, by dim or defective
eyesight, is an acquisition of no common interest to the thou-
s-ends who require them ! I have been using them for some
time, and say, from experienee, that they afford most astonish-
ing relief to persons thus circumstanced.—.F. H. Ramsbotham,
M.D., New 13road-street." It will be seen that the above
tissue of nonsense never emanated from Dr. Ramsbotham, from
a perusal of the following advertisement, which appeared in
the Morning Post ar.d Courier, November 9, 1839:—" The
Messrs. Solnmons take the earliest opportunity to state that
the name of Dr. F. H. Ramsbotham has been used in an
advertisement by mistake, and without authority." As from
the scrupulous omission of initials or address to the latter re-
luctant advertisement, it might naturally be attributed to the
above established houses, bearing the name of Mr. E. Solomous,
he therefore disclaims all knowledge of it, and is no way con-
nected with the parties who inserted it.
AFFECTING AND FATAL CALAMITT.-011
Friday a Coroner's inquest was hold at Ulverston, on the
bodies of Anna Parker, aged 20 years, wife of T. J. Parker,
Esq , son of Col. Parker, of Lancaster, and Eliza Kirkby, aged
23 years, daughter of Mr. B. Kirkby, shoemaker, of Ulverston,
who were drowned on Ulverston Sends on the sth instant..
Benjamin Kirkby sworn—ls father of the deceased Eliza
Kirkby. Knew Mrs. Parker ; she has lived at his house about
sixteen months. On the sth he (witness) and the deceased
females and his son Henry (whose body is not yet found) went
on a short excursion to the Chapel Island. Being there about
half an hour before the tide was expected, they all went as far
Ellwood Scar, about half a mile below Chapel Island. While
there, witness observed the tide had made considet able pro-
gress, and requested the parties to make haste and return. On
their return to the Chapel Island, he saw the tide was breaking
over the bank towards them. He then told the parties to run
for their lives, and follow him. He first reached the water, and
when passing through, he heard his son cry. "Father, Father!"
He looked round and said " I cannot help thee." When he
had got through the strongest of the current, he turned round
to encourage those behind, but his children hart disappeared.
Mrs. Parker he observed clinging to a net stake, waving her
handkerchief, and crying for help; but he soon lost sight of
her; her bonnet he saw floating on the water.—James
Postlethwaite, of Ulverston, pilot, deposed that, on the day in
question, between ten and eleven he saw from Ham-
merside Hill, Mrs. Parker at the net stake, waving her hand-
kerchief. When the tide had receded,- he and some others
found her at the same place, still grasping else stake with her
hands. The stake is about 300 yards from Chapel Island.
Verdict—" Acecidntal Death.,'
SINGULAR CASE.—On Friday morning an in-
Iluest, adjourned from Saturday last, was held before Mr. Wak
ley, M.P., at the Devonshire Arms, Devonshire-street, Port •
sand-place, on the body of Miss Shepley, aged 72, a lady of
independent fortune. The evidence adduced on both occa-
sions showed that on the afternoon of . Tuesday week, she en-
tered the shop of Mr. Waugh, chemist, of No. 117, Regent-
street, in a state of extreme tremour, and, having some-
what recovered her senses, informed that gentleman's assist-
ant that a few minutes previously, in. langham-place, a
large Newfoundland dog jumped upon her s ;
and such was
the force with which he placed his paws on the front of her
person that she was thrown violently en her back. The
assistant advised t
her to take a coach end forthwit li pr...
home and consult her usual medical attendant. She did so,
and told her female servant that no one set the dog at her,
but that the animal sprang -upon her out of . playfulness. She
expired on the morning after the accident. post mortem
examination was ordered, and at .he inquest A
Mr. W. Randall
Vickers, surgeod, of Baker-street, f
th who had made it, said that
the cause of death was the rupture of the . ilium, and that he
had found a tumour, weighing upwards of five
pounds, in the
abdomen, which must have existed for years. He supposed
that the violence of the pressure of the tumour against the
ilium, caused by the fall, produced the fatal rup' ore of the latter.
The Coroner seemed to wish to gct possession of the enormous
tumour,but the surgeon told him he could not comply with his
wishes
to have it, as it had been already promised as a rare
present to a public museum. Verdict—Died in consequence

Officers not provided for.
At the present moment we have two ex-

5,0001. a year each, and the same number of ex-
Chancellors of Ireland at 4,0001. a year each (all
deservingly and properly In stowed, we admit) surely
some two of these eminent persuns might be in-
duced to accept the appointments under this Bill.
If they were even to have an addition of 2,0001.
each on their retired allowances, a very conside-
rable saving to the country would still be effected. If
Lords Brougham and Lyndhurst were appointed,
the conn:ry would save 6,0001. a year.
