THE POPULAR MEDILINE.

THE Proprietors of the invaluable Remedy, so
well known as PARR'S LIFE PILLS, are constantly rece;v-
ing Pram all parts of the United Kingdom, instances of their astonish-
ing curative powers . It would be itnposs blc to bring all the cases
before the public. suffice it to say, that ca•es of every description have
been cured simply by their use,.thus showing that what has been con-
sidered different disorders, and requii big different ticatti.elit, qJ ori.
ginated in the same cause, namely, an impure state of the blood, and
can be cut ed by one uniform treatment. Parr's Life Pills, although
powerful in conquering disease, yet are as pure and harmless as new
milk, and may be ailiniii,stered with confidence to the invalid, how-
ever weakly nom long ill health, who will soon enjoy these delightful
syre.i.tiers of a return to strong health, viz., good appetite, sound
.1 op, and an increase of animal spirits. To have produced a medicine
o benign and mid in its operation and eacts, and yet so elk etual in
searching out and curing disease of however long standing, exhibits
on the part of Old Part-deep research and a thorough knowledge of
his subject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring this
long ost secret to the world, feel c, mfident when they make the asser-
tion—that none need despair, that if only a fair trial be given, the
result will be a restoration to health and happiness.
Whenever a medicine, or indeed'any other article becomes este-
Olished in the estimation of the public, and a large sale is created,
there arc always needy and unprincipled adventurers ready to deceive
the public by putting forward imitations under similar names, not hesi.
t.,ting, by the most barefaced and unblushing effrontery, to. support
their false statements, alike regardless of the injuries they Inflict on
the purchasers, and the injustice they ate guilty of to the proprietors.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The first Keneral meeting of the members of the Squadron
will tale place at the Thatched-house 1 avern, int the 14th
of May. 'fbere are five candidates for members to be balloted
for, and eight for honorary mea.bers.
Captain George Keane has sold his Osprey, of 45 tons, to
Mr. M'Andrew, who is about to sail for Cadiz.

Sir H. Parker is expected home daily in his schooner yacht,
Louisa, 1'23 tons, from the Mediterranean.

Lord Louvaine has sold the Tut quoise cutter yacht, 7 tons,
to Mr. Coote.,

The following yaubtshave hauled off : —The Gitana, schooner,
163 tons ; the Kate, schooner, 94 tons ; the Corsair, 84 tons ;
the Will o' the WiSp, cutter, 45 tons; the Kestrel (the flight
Hon. the Earl of Yarborough's) yaWl, 202 tons; the Talis-
man (H. Mechlarn, Esia. ); the Therese, cutter, 121 tons,
the Earl of Desart. The Harriet, schooner, I. Beardmore,
is fitted ready. for sea, but riot yet off the winter ground.
The weather has been very fine this month, April showers
quite unknown ; indeed, with the exception of a slight shower
on the 14th, no rain has fallen during the whole.
During the east week several large houses have been taken,
three of the West Cliff Cottages—Beach Villa, Oak Hill-house,
one of the Bath-houses, and Prospect-house.
The Countess of Shannon and the Ladies Boyle are ex-
pected at East Cowes Castle, on Saturday.
THE WIGHT BANKING CQUPATIV.—At a
meeting at the Bugle Inn, lewpurt, on the. 25th inst., a
sufficient number of shares having been taken, three Directors
were elected, Mess's. Hoe and Blashford (to be considered as
one), Mr Thomas Cooke • and Mr. Robert EaMes, the two
others. It was resoled that no Director should be allowed
to oven -draw his account above 500/., it being the gene-
ral opinion that when Joint-stock Banks have gone wrong,
it has been by the Directors over-drawing their accounts, to
embark in ruinous speculations. The present Directors are
not speculating men, nor likely ti rcqiiire accommodation,
41.4 future Directors may ; the resolution is therefore a good
one. The business of the new establishment, it is expected,
will commence in about ten days, and will, we hope, inspire
that confidence it deserves. The numerous failures that have
occurred in the Island within the last twelve months have been
ruinous to its trade. There may be said now to be
,110 private
banking establishment in the Island, the last being embodied
in this new JOint-stock Bank.

left Devonport. One soldier fell overboard, one died suddenly,
and one odic sailors was killed by falling from aloft—these are
our casualties. Great credit is due to the soldiers' wives for
keeping their children so very clean; they are remarkably
healthy. The officers of the 98th are a truly estimable set of
fellows. The ship is certainly too much crowded, and the extra
stores make us feel it more."

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS,

The, Sieete contains the followin,, :--- The Mike
an.l I)itch6 Decazes gave a splendid soiree last week
at the' Luxembourg, on the occa,ion of the drawing of
thr lottery for the shipwrecked marines of La 'J'este.
The company consisted of persons of • distinction, be-
longing to the corps diplomatique and peerage. All
of a sudden, the gentleman usher announced some
names, vulgar enough to excite surprise. The com-
pany turned round, and beheld five persons sailing up
the ~room—three ladies and two cavaliers, the firmer
dressed in tartan merinos, with large bonnets of blue
and red, whilst the gentlemen were in frock coats and
grey trousers. On,. they came, saluting right and
left with imperturbably gravity, and at last took their
-seat in fine fauteuils at the head of the room. What
could this mean ?. Was it a hoax, or merely some
mistake on the part of these good people ? The
Grand Referendatre at last approached, and inquired
to what circumstance he was to attribute the honour
of their visit. They exhibited the lottery tickets
which fhey had purchased, and announced that the
drawing was to take place that evening at the residence
of the Duchess Decazes, and stated, good easy souls,
that they had considered it as an invitation."
On the eve of his death, the late Count Perregaux
delivered to Mine. Lacombe, in token of his gratitude
1 for her long attachment to him, and her unremitted
care and attention, a stock receipt for 240,0001., •o-

tast week .a
labourer named Pipart, 'residing. at
Boissaut en Balaw, says the Auxiliaire Breton, went
to examine a wolf-trap which he had baited,. On
arriving, lie found a large wolf held fast by one of the
hind legs.. 'On seeing him, the lhimal made some
violent &forts to escape; and at last 'succeeded in tear-
ing away the qrap. Pipart ptitthed him, but Seeing
that 1-) was likely to escape, and being armed with

Rome. April 17; announces that the.
Council has' Wed that a .Neapolitan vessel,.
seizetTiiorae time hack for having more bales of goods'
on board-than were specified in the bill of health; fa to
be released. This vessel belonged partly to French -
merchants, and it is,olvinF to their energetic protes-
tations mill the representatzons of the French Ambas-
sador, that the matter has been brought to a close.
Cardinal Lambruschini, the Secretary of State, has
transmitted to the Minister of Finance an order to
restore avithout del,iy, the bales that were seizetl,
longing to the French merchants.
A fourth man, named Trouillet, has been arrested
on suspicion of having been an accomplice in the
murder of the coachman Cataign. • lie was one of
the party present at the publie-hOuse, in the evening.
when the pocket-book of the deceased and its contents
were exhibited by Barra alias Delicat. It appears
that these two malefactors have been guilty of several
night robberies since the murder, and even in the neigh-
bourhood of the Buttes Saint Chaunuitzt, where it was
committed ; for, on their being drought up together
to he confronted and examined, they each wore round
their necks coloured handkerchiefs, which were
recognised by the persons from whomihey were stolen,
and which were still marked with the initials of the
names of their right owners. Trouillet, as well as
the three other prisoners, is a well-known old offender.
The folloWing details are given relative to the per-
son mentioned, in a journal. of Monday last, as
having absconded from Paris with 200,000 f., and
being arrested at Vienna, after passing through Ratis-
bon. It is stated that he was a banker or merchant,
named. \V., who left Paris for Meaux on the 18th
ult., to meet the Strasburg mail, in which he had en-
gaged a place by the name of Reutter. On the day
before his departure his partners, en commandite, had,
placed in his hands 24,000 f., to meet bills which were
coming due. When his flight became .known, his
creditors, who had made him a bankrupt, in the hope
of discovering the direction he had taken, opened a
letter that came to his address, and found it to be from
his mistress, promising to meet him at Rotterdam,
and.thence cross over with him to England. Upon
this one of the creditors set off for London, and
another to Frankfort, thinking that the fugitive might
either go to America, or to the north of Europe. Be-
ing'made acquainted with the exposure of the above-
mentioned letter, and convinced that he would be fol-
lowed' to London, he, with the lady, took the road to
Frankfort. The person who went to Frankfort, imme-
diately on arriving there inspected the registers kept at
the hotels of the travellers who alighted there, and
found an entry, in the handwriting of W., of a M.
and Mme. Collin, who had on that day taken their
departure for Aschaffenburg; and followed them
there. At 'this place they, assumed the names of M.
and Mme;Durand, by which they went on to Wurz-
burg, where they became M. and Mme. Reutter. Hence
they were traced to Ratisbon, where they resumed
the name of Collin, and passed 'on to Vienna. At this
capital their pursuer arrived four houra after them.
Having obtained the assistance of the police, the bank-
rupt and his companion were soon discovered at
one of the principal hotels. W. had Suffered his
beard to grow, put on a wig, and wore spectacles.
in the hope of sufficiently disguising himself, but
it was useless, for he was easily recognised, and
committed to prison. 1 Time 7,000 f. he had with
him' were impounded • but he refused to disclose
where he had deposited the remainder of the large
sum--now said to he 300,000 f.—with which he
had absconded. While waiting for the formalities to
warrant his being sent back to France as a fraudulent
bankrupt, he will be made answerable to the Austrian
criminal laws, for entering and travelling in the coun-
try with the three false passports.
The following account of the circumstances at-
tending the death of Marshal Clausel are given in a
letter from Anterive, written on Friday last, which
we find in the Journal cle Toulouse—" Marshal Clau-
sel had been Unwell for some time, suffering from the
gout in his feet. He passed through the day on We&
nesday tolerably well, taking a walk in his chamber,
eating his dinner with tolerable appetite, and taking
part in conversation with his friends until they left him
to go to bed. His valet attended him as usual, and left
him to get some repose also.. At two o'clock the valet re-
turned td the bed room to see whether his master
wanted anything, but finding him in the same posi-
tion as when he first left him concluded lie was sleep-
ing tranquilly, and went back to his own bed for two
hours more. At four o'clock the man went into his
master's chamber again, and was surprised to see that
he had not stirred in the least. On touching the
Marshal he found his body 'quite cold, and soon ascer-
tained that Ihe was dead. He probably expired at
-about 12 o'clock. The actual cause of his death has
not been ascertained, but it is generally believed to
have been a stroke of apoplexy.".
On the 15th January last, Lemard, a labourer, was
going from St. Cloud to Reuil in search of work,
when he fell in with a soldier, of whom he asked the
way, a ad who replied, that he was going to Reuil, and
would accompany him. On their way, they stopped at a
public-house and drank, -Lemard paying for the wine.
To do this he produced a purse,. in which there were
3f., and showed that he was in possession of a watch.
On leaving the house, the soldier, under pretence of
shortening. the way, led Lenard by a by-path into a
quarry. and there knocked him down, rifled him
of his watch, his purse of '31., another purse con-
, tanning two napoleons, and five 5f.-pieces, and also a
I copper token, on which was the name and address of
a wile-dealer. Having got all this booty, the soldier
left his victim in the quarry, and fled. Lenard went

•
to the watchmaker, of whom he had purchased his
wateh, and obtained its number. He then laid
111's information before the 'gendarmerie of Xt.
Cloud. After a. time, the police learnt that the
soldier belonged to the 39th• Regiment of Infantry,
and steps were taken to ascertain which of the inen
were absent on the day of the robbery. Suspicion,
or rather conviction, fell upon a man named Lambert,
who, before he was in the regiment, had been impri-
soned for. twelve months as a thief, and had since
been punished several times fOr breaches of discipline.
It was further learnt that after January 1.5 he had
slept two nights out of quarters without leave, passing
the time at Reuil with women of loose iaracter,
upon whom he expended Oft'. In consequence of this
misconduct, he was drafted into one of the regiments
in Africa. Being brought back, he was on Saturday
tried before the Court-martial, and, being found guilty,
was condemned to two years' imprisonment, and
public degradation.
The Museuin of Narbonne has just been enriched

The Gazette des Tribunaux e9ntains the following
almost incredible account :—Two days ago, during
the absence of a man who resided-at Nincennes, where
he carried on a trade in eggs, butter, &c., which he
purchased at the farm houseA for the purpose of selling
them again in Paris, moaning sounds were heard in
his house, and, as it was known that he had been
absent nearly a week, the Mayor, accompanied
by some gendarmes and a locksmith, entered
the premises, where they found two young girls, one
fourteen and the other ten years of age, chained in a
sort of dog-kennel, by the neck, with a pail before
them, all the water of which they had drunk up, and
without food, -having eaten all that had been given 0)
them when their father left his home. The poor
girls, who were nearly dead from hunger and thirst;
and very .badly clothed, were immediately set at
liberty ,and provided for, and a warrant issued against
the father:

IRELAND. REFORM. SIR
ROBERT PEEL.
At a late. meeting of a wardmote of the London
Repeaters:, to which Mr. Thomas Steele, of the Comity
Clare was invited, just as that gentleman was about
rishg to, speak, a paper was put into his hand, in-
forniing him that there was a Police Inspector in the
-Mr. -Steele, who is a member of the -National,
Complete Suffrage Union, and who took an active
• part- in the Conference at Birmingham; immediately
exclaimed—" I am informed by this paper that there
is a police inSpector in the room, and I ant very glad
of it, for I hope he will lose no time in communicating
to the Prime Minister our opinions of his conduct."
1 cannot find language sufficiently powerful
(said the speaker) to express my indignation—
a sentiment in which,
_l_ am
_quite sure, you all
participate--at "tlle tone and spirit of derisive
levity with which Peel, • secure in his majority
of Tory misrepresentatives of the people, had the
insolence to treat the late • motion in the House of
Commons for inquiry into the state of the- electoral
franchise, a subject of such supreme and solemn inte-
rest emanating from the National Conference at
Birmingham, which- was, presided over by that admir-
able patriot and friend' to human nature, Joseph
Sturge, and which was brought forward and sup-
ported in the House of Commons in the most per-
fectly temperate and respectful form. I was present
in the Speaker's gallery, and could not be mistaken.
Gentlemen (continued the Speaker) it was with
great sagacity and political acumen, said by a
French statesman before the first revolution, ` we
had better take care to represent the people, for
unless we do so, the people may take it into their
heads to represent themselves !" The people of
France did soon after represent themselves, and
in direful form of representation ; and to such
an organic popular representation are the slave
classes of England awfully and rapidly approaching,
unless means shall be taken by wise and good men
to prevent it, and which can only be done by creating
a union between the working slave classes, who arc
unrepresented, and the,middle classes, who possess the
elective franchise, so that the great organic change
may be made in O'Connellite fashion, and not
Robespierrean ; not by blood and violence and
convulsion, but by purely legal and constitu-
tional means, in gradual and* peaceable progression.
The millions of the people of Ireland; under the
guidance of the peaceful, moral regenerator O'Connell,
have thrown themselves, heart and soul, into the
movement of the Reformers of England and Scot-
land. The Irish seek justice for themselves, by the
restoration of their domestic Legislature, but they
would be unworthy of justice, unless they. gave their
fervid aid in obtaining justice for their fellow-vassals,
the slave classes of England and Scotland.
Several other gentlemen then .addressed the meet-
ing, and Mr. Steele, amidst loud cheering, shard
that he would, this day, at the Corn Exchange,
Dublin, have a resolution moved expressive of the
feelings of Ireland on the subject on which he had
spoken, and declaratory of her union with the Eng-
lish and Scottish Reformers.
