FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, am.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmoek, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the &I July last,
to the Editor of the " Times :

" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the' leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without any crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb scon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for nt-tny years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's :Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remiody to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quacaery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, genevally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
" I am, your obedient servant.
TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.

" P. S. At the various consultations held upin my case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
bad the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H."

Captain Newton—They were distinctly told that
they must pay a shilling each, and there is a placard
:1 the vessel giving that information.
The Loan MAYOR—But why did you prevent the
poor people from goinc, on board the Medway ? This
is a most palpable and cruel deception upon the public.
Captain Newton said that the persons who were
said to have handed the bills of the Vesta to the pas-
sengers were not employed by the proprietors of that
vessel to supply the information.
The LORD MAYOR—How ridiculous it is to en-
deavour to make me believe that these men would
take the trouble to tout for the Vesta, without being
employed to do so.
Captain Newton—If these complainants were put
to inconvenience, it was their own fault.
The witness said he would put it to the common
sense of any man, whether it was probable that a
number of people would willingly stay on board all
night. When they were permitted to go ashore, they
were obliged to pay a waterman for landing them.
Captain Newton said that the occurrence com-
plained of was an every night's occurrence, and that
such persons as the complainants were always at
work to get their passage for nothing. Numbers of
persons paid the low fare to Nicholson's boats, which
were in the habit of taking passengers for a shil-
ling each to and from Gravesend, and they after-
wards tried to get to town in the Vesta, under pre-
tence that it belonged to the Same Company, whereas
they knew there was no connexion between the boats
in question.

The LORD MAYOR—Depend upon it I shall not
allow this matter to drop here. It shall be tho-
roughly investigated. Who is the managing director
of the Vesta ? Captain I\ ewton—Alr. llovvard.
The LORD MAYOR—Perhaps you act under orders
from that gentleman. I must see him, and hear his
explanation.

Mr. Howard accordingly appeared before his Lord-
ship yesterday, and Mr. Nobler having read over the
evidence given on the former day, said, in reply, that
Mr. Birnie knew and transacted the business of the
Vesta for him, and could explain.
The Loan MAYOR —Putting out of the question the
unfairness of the transaction in which the poor people
were called upon to go into the Vesta instead of re-
turning by the Medway to London, your bill states
that 9d. is the price of a passage for every day except
Sunday.
Mr. Howard said that the confusion was occasioned
by the mistake of his printer, who had received in-
structions to insert the price of the passage at a shil-
ling a head, as the large placard represented.
Mr. Birnie stated that the tickets got by some
means or other mixed and confounded together, and
that the cheap boats caused indescribable and intoler-
able anoyance and trouble. He had frequently been
obliged to take passengers to the station-house for
having refused to pay, and he unifoi mly found that
the addresses given were false, so that there was not
only trouble but loss.
The LORD MAYOR—It is quite impossible that you
can get over this mode of distributing your bills at
Gravesend. The deception is quite evident, and my
advice to you is, that you will enter into an ar-
rangement with these poor people, by which you
may make amends to them for their loss of time, and

As might have been expected, the present
condition ofour manufacturing districts excites a
great deal of attention abroad as well as at home.
We wish we could say that either there or here
an enlarged and philosophic view were taken of

this important subject, which, foreseeing the
future progress and condition of society, might at
once instruct legislators how most safely and
easily to guide it to the haven which it must
reach. It is quite plain, too plain to need
any proof; that the present condition of our
great manufacturing population was neither
foreseen nor provided for by any scheme of
legislation. No statesman called into being,
or organised by his regulations, that vast
portion of our productive community. It

Some of our Contemporaries, claiming to be
tlie most enlightened and most advanced of
journalists, are very busy day after day dis-
cussing the relative price of loaves and wheat,
and in general they come to the conclusion that
the former is too high. Having, on grounds
which are perfectly satisfactory to themselves,
arrived at the position that bakers and millers
charge too much, which is likely, and are
no better than they should be, they proceed on
to the assertion that some stringent law ought to
remedy this avarice, and, by fixing a price fir
bread, compel the bakers and millers to content
themselves with reasonable profits. They sigh
for the re-enacting of the Assize, which would
allow nothing for the use of potatoes, and
leave us just as much open to ingenious
pilfering as at present. It would allow nothing,
too, for any discoveries in the art of making
a greater number of loaves out ofa sack of flour,
and would compel the baker, who could reason-
ably afford to sell for less, to charge the Assize
price. It would make no allowance, too, for
extended or limited trade, and might ruin him
who baked only a sack a week, while it would
enrich a GILBERTSOII to his heart's content, who

has grown up, as it were, in the course of
nature, and will continue most probably to grow
hereafter as heretofore. What is required,
therefore, is, as much as possible, to take a
Pisgah view of its future condition, and make our
present legislation as much as possible in accord-
ance with that.

Journalists, at least English journalists, en-
gaged in the daily and turbid dissensions of par-

baked a hundred sacks. It is to us astonishing,
that these clever people cannot see a remedy for
all this, much more simple than an Assize, and
close at hand. In fact, it is so close that, like
the appurtenances of the eye itself, they cannot
see it, but must go far away to find a remedy.
To adopt anything simple and plain would be
derogatory to their dignity, and, like the pro-
jector mentioned by SMOLLETT, they could not
think of cutting a cabbage with any less powerful

instrument than a steam-engine. -
The complaint is that the millers, being few in
number, and requiring considerable capital to
carry on their business, are enabled to establish
a monopoly of the supply of flour. They get
hold or bakers, it is said, set them up in business,
credit them for flour, and then make them the
cat's-paws for transferring the money out of the
pockets of the consumers into the pockets of the
millers. This is a precise counterpart of what is
done by the landowners, who, having a depend-
ant tenantry, thrust their hands into the pockets
•of the consumers, and compel them to extract
some of the contents for the use of the landlords.
In both cases the evil is the same, it has the
same origin, and would be cured by the same
means. To let in flour from the United States,
and other countries, perfectly free, would at once,
and as if by magic, put an end the monopoly now
enjoyed by the millers, and put an end to their
exclusive power over the baker. It would render
all the onerous contrivances of an Assize of
bread and all similar contrivances, so far as the
millers are concerned, wholly unnecessary.
As to the bakers, a similar rule would soon re-
duce them to reason. The Dutch and the
French make excellent bread; and if they could
freely import it into London the English bakers
could not charge more than the price at which

the foreign bread could be sold. - If flour were
cheap, too, from trade in flour being free, and bread
were relatively dear, it might be expected that
families would make their own bread, or would
make girdle-cakes, or fall on a multitude of con-
trivances, partially to dispense with the services
of the bakers, if they continued to make unrea-
sonable charges. Free trade, therefore, would
be an instant and certain cure of the monopoly
now complained of, and at once restore the
millers and bakers to their proper station, of
very useful labourers in the great combined
operation of preparing food for society. Let us
earnestly recommend this simple, natural, and
efficacious remedy to the consideration of those
who demand the re-establishment of an Assize on
bread.

ties, cannot undertake such a task. Nor do we
believe that our statesmen, who are always
struggling for party superiority, can ever success-
fully prosecute it. Properly speaking, it is the
business of philosophers—of the great masters of
thought; but we are not aware that amongst those
who now deservrzdly rank high in that character,
any one has stepped forward to lay down a chart
of the neceF,Fary course of society, and pilot us
out of our present difficult and dangerous position.
KnowirJg atleast the pretensions ofour neighbours,
the French, to the character of philosophers, and
kniiwing, too, that all other nations are as deeply

viterested in the solution of this problem as our-
selves, we turned with some hope to their pro-
ductions, but have only met with disappointment.
The article which we copied from the Courricr
Francais two days ago, though clever, was ex-
tremely shallow, and neither went to the source
of our disorders nor suggested a remedy. The
Journal des Debatskin a much more elaborate
article, speaks of the late disturbances "as
the symptoms of deep-seated internal disease,
which is beyond the reach of laws." It quotes,
at some length, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S " bitter ex-
pressions of despondence, and avowal of power-
lessness," which escaped from him on the last
day of the session, and concludes thus :

All the exertions of the Government will not avail in
preventing England from continuing to glide down the
descent she has entered upon. This great country is
enduring the penalty of its owa excesses. It is stagger-
ing, and must fall from the intoxication produced by its
successful industry and speculation. Still infatuated
with the traditional idea that it is destined by Providence
to manufacture for the whole universe, and have all na-
tions as tributaries to its industry, it piles up produce
upon produce without reflecting that rival nations have
gained instruction in its own schools, and are raising up
manufactories against manufactories. England accelle-
rates the motions of its machines without listening to the
low and distant echoes of its own steps, repeated on
the distant shores of its competitors.

Now we totally dissent from this philosophy of
the Debats, which, in truth, instead of being
borrowed froM the deep wells oforiginal thought,
is merely the reproduction of some of the out-
pourings of our ignorant Tories, dressed up in a
terse, epigraniatic style, and therefore quoted by
them as a pleasing echo of their own voices. It
is a narrow and false view to suppose that
England cannot continue to grow in greatness be-
cause other nations learn her arts. It is an error,
and almost a blasphemy, to say that England
is staggering and must fall from the intoxication
produced by her successful industry. Successful
industry never yet made a nation either stagger
or intoxicated, and the Debats does France an
injury, startling her back, if possible, by such an
overcharged description, from imitating Great
Britain's hitherto eminently successful career.
Our neighbours, we fear, envy even more than
they admire us, and have tried, we believe and
hope in vain, to injure our industry, while they
elevated their own. We understand that their
law to keep out English linen yarn has failed,
and. that such is the superiority of our workman-
ship, that our manufacturers still undersell those
of France in their own market. The Debats,
animated with a national spirit, is but too happy
to borrow from our Tories their gloomy and un-
patriotic misrepresentations of the manufacturing
industry of England.

We have not found, then, in the French
journals, the least explanation of the present
condition of our country, and more profound re-
searches and more extensive political experience
than fall to their lot, will be neces,;ary to eluci-
date this important subject. The protninent
facts are legible enough ; their causes and cure
