" Gentlemen,—l sincerely thank you for yotir kind attention.
When I began taking the Revalenta' I was in as deplorable a
condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to bed, and
so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely
from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being com-
pelled to.have recourse to aperients every second or third day;
and upon one occasion I swallowed no less than seven doses
within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was
a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that,
whenl turned my head on the pillow, resembled the sound
produced by a slight touch on a musical glass. I had a pain
and a sort of fulness across the chest, a sore throat, and a slight
cough ; bnt the pain around my loins was so great that I could
not remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long.
The principal scat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs
on.my left side, and about three inches from the back bone. I
commenced taking the Havelente morning and evening,
boiled in water and salt, and in less than a fortnight my appe-
tite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation so
far vani.hed that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind
since. lam much stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a

THE EMIGRATION AGENTS,

That the benevolent feelings of Englishmen of all classes
are occasionally so played upon as to lead to the commis-
sion of injustico, is a well established fact ; and it is
equally true thrt a clamour once raised against any class,
amongst whom unworthy members have been proved to
exist, is kept up by the unreflecting and prejudiced part
of mankind, long after it has been purged of its impurities.
A striking instance of these characteristics of humanity
has occurred during the past week, in reference to a case
of alleged improper conduct of an emigration agent towards
an Irish family proceeding to the United States. This
circumstance we are told are briefly these :
Some few months ago, a Roman Catholic clergyman in
Ireland received from a party settled in America a sum of
money, with instructions to expend it in paying the pas-
sage out to Philadelphia of four of his children; and for
this purpose he applied at the office of a broker of Lime-
rick named M`Donnell, who was in the habit of shipping
passengers to go out by the vessels of Messrs. Harnden
and Co., of this town, not being, hswever, their recog-
nized agent. At the time, the vessel advertised by the
firm here was the Susquehanna, well known as a very
superior conveyance. M`Donnell, however, had also a
vessel—tne present Washington—going to Boston from
another respectable house in Liverpool, and by some in-
advertamce he filled up the shipping ticket for the latter
vessel for Philadelphia. That it was an inadvertence,
merely, and ought to have been detected before the party
left home must be clear to every impartial mind, from the
fact that the destination of the respective ships was at the
time placarded all over Limerick •, and that the emigrants
were regularly directed to the office of the charterers of
the Susquehanna. Theyarrived in Liveryool at six o'clock
on the morning of the day following that on which the
Susquehanna was advertized to sail, and were met by a
clerk of Messrs, Harr.dens', who at once explained to
them the error which had occurred, and having informed
them that the vessel which was to convey shem—the Sus-
quehanna—was still in the river, to sail at eight o'clock,
offered to put them at once on board. The party, how-
ever, which had been increased by three additional
adults—cousins, we believe, of the children—refused
to go in any other vessel except the Mount Wash-
ington, although told that that ship was bound for Boston ;
and as the result delay took place, and the Susquehanna
sailed without them. Thus far, it is clear a considerable
portion of the blame of the subsequent detention is at-
tributable to the emigrants themselves, who could not be
made to understand how so simple an error had occurred.
Measrs. Harnden, however, immediately set about
making arrangements for forwarding them to their desti-
nation ; and having no other vessel to Philadelphia di-
rect, they proposed to send the party by the first ship to
New York, engaging to pay their charges there, and
their fare by railway to Philadelphia. To this they con-
sented • and passages were engaged for them in the
ship W'averley, chartered by Messrs. J. W. Shaw and
Company of this town; and they sailed in her on the
16th of September, being only three days after their
departure from Limerick. The whole of the money re-
ceived from them at Limerick was paid over to Messrs.
Shaw, leaving the former firm minus the cost of their
charges in New York and railway fares. The Waverley,
however, was unfortunate. She experienced very severe
weather, and was compelled to put into Fayal, whence,
as soon as an opportunity could be had they were re-con-
veyed to Liverpool.
The first intimation received by Messrs. Harnden that
the party had returned to Liverpool was from the govern-
ment emigration agent, Lient. Hodder, to whom they
proceeded immediately. Messrs. H. promptly made ar-
rangements for their being sent by the Empire State, a
fine vessel, belonging to Messrs. C. Grimshaw and Co.'s
Black Star Line of Packets, and arranged with Lieut.
Hodder that they should be found in provisions and pas-
sage, free of all cluirge, at a cost to these gentlemen of
£45. They were accordingly shipped, the vessel sailed,
and Messrs. H. naturally concluded that this unfortunate,
and to themselves.expensiye, affair was at an end.
On the day after the ship's sailing, however, the rev.
gentleman, who had in the first instance had charge of
the children, arrived from Ireland, and complained of the
suffering which had been caused to the parents in America
by the non-arrival of their children, and attributing to the
shipping agents serious charges, of which no one who is
acquainted with the respectability of Messrs. Harnden's
house could for a moment believe. Ultimately the ma-
nager of their shipping department, Mr. Charles Hill, was
summoned before Mr. Rushton for the sum of £lO, in
the shape of damages, or compensation money, for the
parents. We may mention that Mr. Hill has been" long
1 Itnown and highly respected in this port, and used every
