p ARR'S LIFE PILLS.
TO THE PUBLIC.
No sooner is a Medicine well established in public favour
than a host of imitators arise, who, for the sake of gain, not
only wrong the Proprietors of the genuine Medicine, but inflict
a serious injury on the untvaty purchaser of their base counter-
feit trash. ' These observations apply with increased effect to
the Medicine which is now so well known as " PARR'S
LIFE PILLS." This famous remedy has been established
by undoubted proofs of its efficacy, and by a mass of evidence
and testimonials which no other medicine ever yet called forth.
These facts have had the effect of producing a very large sale
—more than 11-?,000 boxes per week. When this large sale
came to the knowledge of some unprincipled persons, they, for
the sake of gain to themselves, and reckless of the injury it may
do to others, attempted to foist-on the incautious various
imitations, supported by statements whichexhibit the most .un-
blushing effrontery. In order that purchasers may be able to tie-
tect i hese frauds, care must be taken to look at,the Government
Stamp pasted round each box, and be sure it has the words
" Parr's Life Pills," in white letters on a red ground, engraved
therein, and forms part of the stamp ; al.so that the name Qf
"Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London?' is printed, as Whole.
sale Agent, on the directions wrapped round each box.
Ask for " Parr's Life Pills," and inquire for the little book
containing the Life of Old Parr, thirty-two pages, with engrav-
ings, also the numerous testimonials, which may be had gratis
on application ()tall agents and respectable vendersithroughout
the United. Kingdom.
As a proof of their efficacy the Proprietors refeito thelollow-
ing • Extraordinary Cure. of Cenirmed Asthma selected from
hundreds of a similar nature :
Mrs. Joseph Simpson has been severely afflicted. for the iast
thirty years, with a violent cough and difficulty of breathing.
The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her
usual domestic obligations. She took cold when only fifteen
years old, ant the cough never left her till she took Parr's Life
Pills. She had tried almost every kind of medicine, and had
taken laudanum in large quantities, but nothing afforded relief.
She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas, and as soon
all she had taken about half a box she 'found herself completely
wired, and was never afflicted in the slightest manner during
the severe weather that followed, and is now better in health
than she has ever been in her life.
This cure does indeed appear miraculous ; but for the satis-
faction of the most incredulous, she has kindly consented to an-,
ewer any inquiries, either by personal application, or by letter,
addrebied to Mrs. Joseph situps.), Church-hill Close, Old

gone into on Friday, before Wm. Carter, Esq., the Coro-
ner for Surrey, at the Swallow Galley, Rotherhithe, on

- - THE SIEGE OF BOLTON
TO
.THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stk—l have been at the siege of Bolton ; for
' nothing but some such cause suggests itself as
adequate to the phenomena. • And' is it not a
siege ? not carried on perhaps by an enemy with-
in gun-shot, but by one.worki rig on a wider radius,
and making his blockade by sea upon the means
of life.
Many sights it has been my chance to see, and
I think I know what is the minimum of help with
which horse, ass, dog-, hog, or monkey can sus-
tam existence, and where it must go ont•for want
of the appliances and means of living. But any
thing like the squalid misery, the slow, mouldy,
putrefying death by which the weak and the
feeble of the working elesses are perishing here,
it never befell my eyes 'to behold, nor my ima-
gination to conceive. And the creatures seem to
have no idea of resisting, or even of repining.
They sit down with Oriental submission, as Wit
was God and not the landlords that. was laying
his hand upon them. And when their honour-
able repreSentatiVe in parliament gave descrip-
tion ,to their sufferings, " liar" was the best word
applied to him by.the organs of the tyranny.
Did you ever set eyes on a pennyworth of mut-
ton? Come here, and you shall see how rations
Are served out under the landlords' state of siege.
It might bait a rat-trap; though a well-fed rat
would hardly risk his personalities for such a
pittance, Pennyworths of mutton, and half-penny
worths:tit bread cut off the loaf; are what the shop
keepers, in Bolton deal out to the inhabitants of
their Jerusalem. r saw a woman come for one-
half-penny -worth of bread, which was to be the
dinner of herself and children twain; and when
I reflected that of this transparent slice, the other
half was gone' to. buy the landlords' sack, asto-
nishment possessed me at the endurance of that
bearing ass the public, arid the extent to which
:ignorance and divisions will prop the rich man's
robbery.
- I saw another mother of a family, who said she
had not tasted meat tor many months ; and on
one of the children being sent off to the butcher's
for some of that strange luxury, she was disco-
vered making efforts to intercept the messenger.
Her anxiety was,' to instruct the boy .to bring
back nothing but one pennyworth of bacon; there
was a to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
for which she had conceived the idea of spinning
out existence by means of the remainder of the
fund.

If you are curious in human misery, if you arc
anxious to know what a shabby tyranny can
i ig the rank and file to suffer, come at your
leisure to the " leaguer" of Bolton, and see what
the pc 071 e sleep upon, if they do sleep. Chopped
dirt, the sweepings of a hen-house mingled with
a proportion of sparrows' nests to show that men
had heard of straw, would be the best represen-
tatives of what they huddle upon in corners and
call it resting. And all this because Sir Having-
(ireedy votes in the House of Commons for clos-
ing honest trade as the means of doubling his
rents.

• I have not heard of any women in Bolton eat-
ing a child. They do not look eatable. Disease,
either active or in waiting, is in their faces and
in their limbs. A decent hyena would not take
the trouble of " enticing theta into the woods and
there devouring them." And this is
.what the
English and their families have come to, to keep
their aristocracy in coach horses.
The Minister meanwhile and his associates;
are racking their tender " hearts" to find a re-
medy. As in O'Connell's celebrated story, of the
horse, " Will they try corn?" They will try
anything, except allow the sufferers to keep
themselves; for that would interfere with the
pans of those, who being.rich already, use their
riches as the means of doubling them. by confis-
cation of the poor man's bread.
There is danger in these schemes. Already
people of all kinds are parodying the sentiment
of the Italians, "Ad ogni uomo puzzica quest()
harbor() dozninio;" which may be translated for
English use,. -" Neither man .nor woman will
endure this dynasty of clod-hoppers." It wants
nothing but for the privates of the regiment to
know what hurts them,. and to get rid (as they
are
.doing Last) of the various false lights thrown
Out to induce the.th-to.runin everydirectiou-that,
will preserve the evil ; and a quicker end than
pleasant, may be put to mischiefs, which nobody
would remove by an earlier application of the
prudential Virtues.

Yours, very sincerely,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

THE BOROUGH MAGISTRACY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,—Our Thursday paper announced, and, I be-
lieve correctly, the uncalled-for addition of five new
Magistrates to our Bench, whose only- recommenda-
tion for the office is their deep Tory feeling, and the
probability that their power will be unscrupulously
devoted to the furtherance of the Tory cause.
These five partisan functionaries have been thrust
upon this town, as elsewhere, unasked for and unde-
sired by the inhabitants, who might be presumed to
Ise better acquainted with their own wants than the
Rats at the Home-office or the renegades elsewhere.
Never was there a case in which an addition to the
Bench was less called for, or the new creation more
insulting. The Bench was most amply filled by men of
honour, probity, and respectability—who administered
justice with the strictest impartiality, and gave univer-
sal satisfaction. These gentlemen were not exclusively
Liberals, for it was the policy of the Whig party to be
guided by principles of justice rather than of party ;
but it was reserved for their bated successors to show
the cloven hoof without a blush, and set up the asser-
tions of despotic power in opposition to the claims of
justice and of reason.
If the new creation of Magistrates has been made
at the desire of the inhabitants, I conceive the Home
Secretary to be • bound in honour to state who the
parties were that asked for them, since I am not aware
ave°:emedit
of any public meeting having been held, or any resolu-
tion being brought forward in the Council on the
subject.
How far the respectability of the Bench will be aug-
mented by this new batch hot •out of the Tory oven,
1 leave to those who know the worthies and the
town of Plymouth, to judge for themselves: The
population of Plymouth at the last enumeration was
36,527, and though sea-ports are not in general distin-
guished for good order, I challenge without fear any
part of England to furnish a population of equal mad,
nitude, equally free from crime and disorder. Out of
this number our Michaelmas Quarter Sessions, when 1
was one of the Grand Jury, furnished only three cases
of petty felonies for trial, only two of which were pro-
secuted to conviction, and of these only two ware in-
dividuals of Plymouth, and the third a child of twelve
years of age, from the extreme west at Cornwall, and
his offence stealing three half crowns, two shillings, and
two sixpences, from a Biker's till; in die at4ence of the
mistress from the shop.".
The calm. of the present moment, how:ever, is but.
the prelude to the hurricane, and thest, outrages • upon'

ACENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—On
Friday the half-yearly meeting of the trustees, gover-
nors, and dOnors of this charity, which is instituted for
the support of the decayed members of the trade, their
widows, and orphans, was held at the Crown and Anchor,
Strand, to receive the report of the Governors for the
past year, and for the general business of the Asylum,
Mr. W. Adams Larby in the chair. The minutes of
the last meeting having been confirmed, Mr. Jones read
the report. The Governors congratulated the meeting
upon the increasing prosperity of the charity. One hun-
dred and new subscribers were admitted, and the
receipts for the past year, including 2,014/. Bs. for sub-
scriptiOnS, amounted to 2,5541.85. 11d, and the expendi
tare, including 615/. paid to the inmates, 2031. repaid to
Messrs. Barclay and Co., and a purchase of stock, nearly
reached the same amount, The Governors continued the
weekly payments of 7s. to couples, and of 6s. to single
inmates, of whom 74 were in receipt of those sums.
There ware 101 houses inhabited in the Asylum, and only
two vacancies occurred. The report in conclusion stated
that the Board of Management had petitioned her
Majesty for an act of incorporation, that their petition '
had been referred to the Privy Council, and that they
were certilin of obtaining it. The report having been
adopted, the officers for the ensuing year were elecied..
after whibh, and a vote of ihatika to the Chairman, the
meeting broke up.
