Y fovw : wded KureThv the Mexican correspondent of the Snrfon nearly in July and which appeared m Mai paper on the 5 th of that mouth Its origina date is the Utli May , and as it has not been followed up by anv active preparations for war , it cannot be looked upon as a very formidable document . The effect of publishing it was , however , to induce the Loudon underwriters to demand £ 5 percent ., instead of 4 % - . premium on refseh from Mexico , and as they still ask £ 3 , we think it necessary to give this exp lanation of the real date and character of the document which has produced their alarm . —Liverpool Times .

      ALL WAY DE UUltED . ' ! BY IIOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT . FIFTY ULCERS CURES IN SIX WEEKS . EXTRACT of a Letter from John Martin , Esq . ., Chronicle j Oflice , Tobago , West Indies : — February 4 th , 1815 . To Professor Holloway . Sir , —Ibejj to inform you that the inhabitants of this island , especially those who cannot afford to employ medical gentlemen , are very anxious of having your astonishing medicines within their reach , from the immense benefits some of them have derived from their use , as they have been found here , in several cases , to cure sores and ulcers of the most malignant and desperate kind . One gentleman in this island , who had , I believe , about fifty running ulcers about his legs , arms , and body , who had tried all other medicines before the arrival of yours , but all of which did him ho good ; but yours cured him in about six weeks , and he is now , by their means alone , quite restored to health and vigour . ( Signed ) Ions Maetis . Pfe , Fistulas , < tnd bearings ^ non . A Rexaekable Cube ht these Pitts and Oixtxest . —A half-pay lieutenant , lately residing at St . Heller ' s , Jersy ,. whose name by request is omitted , had fisc three years suffered from pHcs and fistula , besides a general bearing down , of the most distressing nature . He had twice undergone an operation , feat to no purpese , and at last gave himself ug to despair . Yet , notwithstanding this ¦ complication oC complaints , together with a debilitated constitution , lie was completely curedof all his infirmities , and restored to the full enjoyment of health by these justly renowned medicines , when every other vneaus had foiled . Extraordinary Cure hi tie Mist Indies , oflioprosy , and Other dircful & fa diseases . June 3 rd , 1814 . Mr . Lewis Recdon , of Georgetown , Deinerara , mites , under the-sbove date , that llolloway ' s Pills and Ointment have cured bad legs that no doctor could manage , ulcers and sores tbat were of the most dreadful description , as likewise leprosy , blotches , scales , aud other skin diseases of the most frightful nature , and that the cures effected there by these , wonderful medicines are so numerous and extraordinary as to astonish the whole population . CanceredBmst . —A Wonderful Circumstance . Copy of a Letter from Richard Bull , bootmaker , Tatton , near Southampton : — February 9 th , 1815 . To Professor Holloway . Sir , —The Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonderful cure of cancers or abcesses , of twelve years' standing , in my wife ' s breast In the hitter part of the time , eleven wounds wereopen atonce . Tkefacultydeclaredtliecase as past cure , several pieces of bone bad come away , and 1 expected that my poor wife wouid soon have been taken from me . It was then that a friend recommended the use of your pills and ointment , which , to our utter astonishment , in the space of about three months , healed up the breast as soundly as ever it was ia her life . I shall ever remain , Your most gratef id and obedient servant , ( Signed ) Richakd Butj .. ir / iccriiifl' on ( he Chest and Siiortness of Breath . Copy of a Letter from Mr . Jeremiah Casey , No . 1 , Compton-place , Coinpton-street , Brunswiek-square , London , April 25 th , 1 S 15 : — To Professor Holloway . Sir , —I beg to inform you that I believe I had been , for more than three years , one of the greatest sufferers in thcworld with chronic asthma . For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm . I never went into a bed ; very often , indeed , I have been obliged to pass the nig ht without being able to recline sufficiently to lay riij head or . a table , lest I should be suffocated . So one thought I should lire over the winter , nor did I expect it myself-, bat I am happy to say thatl am now able to work from morning to night , and that I sleep as well as ever 1 did in my fife ; and this miracle ( I may say ) was effected by rubbing your invaluable ointment twice a day into my eliest , and taking ten of your pills at bedtime , aud ten again in the morning , for about three months . ( Signed ) Jeremiah Casey . In all Diseases of ihe Sein , bad legs , old wounds anrl ulcers , bad breasts , sore nipples , stony and ulcerated canccr « , tumours , swellings , gout , rheumatism , .-Bid lumbago , likewise in cases of Piles , Holloway ' s Pills in all the above cases , ought to be used with the Ointment , as by this means cures wiU be effected with a much greater certainty , and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone . The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for ike bite of rooschetoes , sand-tiies , ckiego-foot , yaws , coco-hay , and all skin diseases common to the East and West Indies , and other tropical climes .

A man , whom disease had so affected his ' facc that it was one complete outbreak , aud so disgusting that he was obliged to keep it covered , and , after trying several remedies , but all in vain , was induced to try your Poor Man ' s Friend ¦ And Pills . After using a pot and a box of pills , he seemed to grow worse ; but through my persuasion he continued the medicine , and when he had used the fourth pot of ointment , and also the pills , he was completely cured , and has remained so ever since , now nearly six months . Many other remarkable instances of cures I have known , inasmuch as I positively think it is one of the best medicines I am acquainted with , for the diseases to which it is vecovnaiended .

      PARR'S LIFE PILLS . ARE aehnowleaged to be all that are required to conquer disease and prolong life . The extraordinary success of this medicine is the wonder of the age ; it has been tried by hundreds of thousands as an aperient , and has in every instance done good ; it has never in the slightest degree impaired the most delicate constitution . Tens of thousands have testified that perseverance in the use of l'AIlll'S LIFE PILLS will completely cure any disease , and are living witnesses of the benefit ; received from this invaluable medicine .

Ruiter , chemist and druggist , Shaftesbury , Dorset , agent for Parr's Pills : — . . A respectable farmer residing near Shaftesbury , had for years been subject to the most distressing attacks of giddiness of the head , frequently attended with severe head aclie . The various medicines he used at different times did him little or no good , till ho was induced to give Parr ' s Pills a trial . Tiie very first dose afforded much relief , and he has found them more serviceable than any other medicine he has taken . He always resorts to them ou finding any symptoms of the complaint coming on , and tltcy invariably relieve him . The attacks have been mnchless frequent since taking Parr ' s Pills , and he believes by continuing their use his complaint will entirely leave him . Dated April Sfith , 1 S 45 . From Mr . W . Alexander , bookseller , Yarmouth : — You will probably remember the name of the respectable octogenarian gardener , Mr . Cowles , of Blundevstone , who still ( with his son-in-law ) attends our excellent vegetable and fruit market , Mr . Conies , when I last saw him , a few weelts ago , was in excellent health , aud , although eighty-eight years of age , works at digging in his gardeu several hours in the day . He still continues occasionally to take the med cine , which he believes , under Providence , to have been the means of conferring ou him so much comfort . Since I wrote the above , I have inquired after Mr . Cand , and learn that he is quite well and hearty . The late severe cold weather affected him much ; but , having taken your excellent medicine , he is quite well , cheerful , and able to resume his work .

WRAY'S BALSAMIC PILLS , a certain , safe , and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of strictures , seminal weakness , pains in the loins , affections of Ihe kidneys , gravel , rheumatism , lumbago , gonorrhoea , gleets , local debility , irritation of the bladder or urethra , and other diseases of the urinary passages . The uupvecedentcd success that Ivas , attended the administration of these pills , since they were made public , has acquired for them a sale more extensive than any other proprietary medicine extant , and the circumstance of their entirely obviating the necessity oi having recourse to those disgusting , nauseous , and in many cases highly injurious medicines ( as copaiba , cubebs , ibc ) , has obtained for them a reputation unequalled in the annals of medicine . Prior to being advertised , these pills were employed in private practice in upwards of 1 , 800 cases , many of them most inveterate—in many thousand cases since , and in no one instance known to fail , or to produce those unpleasant symptoms so often experienced while taking copaiba , aud that class of medicines usually resorted to in these complaints . The proprietor pledges himself that not one particle of copaiba , cither resin or balsam , cubebs , or any deleterious ingredient , enters their composition , Copaiba and cubebs have long been the most commonly employed medicines in the above complaints ; but , from the uncertainty in their effects , together with their utter inefneacy in many cases , are Vast declining ill reputation ; and , from flic unpleasant symptoms invariably produced from taking copaiba , especially in the early stage of the complaint , many of tho most able modern practitioners condemn it as dangerous , and a medicine not to be depended upon . Many persons , after having suffered more from the effects of the remedy than the virulence of the disease , and , after a patient but painful perseverance , have been compelled to relinquish its use , the whole system having become more or less affected , and the disease as bad , if not worse , than at the t-oromeucemeut . As regards cubebs , it is true that those violent effects arc not experienced as while oking copaiba , but they seldom effect a cure , unless moic active medicines are administered . The Balsamic Pills arc free from any of the above objections ; they act specifically on the urinary passages : and , from their tonic properties , tend to strengthen the system and improve the general health . They require neither confinement nor alteration of diet ( except abstinence from stimulants , where considerable inflammation exists ) , and , as experience has amply proved , they will effect a cure sooner than copaiba ( the dangerous results of which , in the inflammatory stages , are too well known to need comment ) , or any other medicine in present use , and may be justly considered the only safe and efficacious remedy in all stages of those disorders . In addition to these advantages , the very convenient form in which this invaluable preparation is offered to the public , must also a desideratum . Prepared only hy M . O .

      LONDON . Cixv Locality . —Mr . Cooper ' s third lecture on history , delivered last Sunday evening , was attended by an increased audience , and was listened to with much interest .

Mr . Cooper , however very properly devoted the g reater part of his lecture to this part of Roman history , and made as brief work as possible with the conquests of Ctcsav lik assassination , the schemes of Lis crafty successor ; and the herd of tyrants and monsters that followed on to Constantino .

      HEYWOOD . Lecture . —Messrs . M'Grath and Doyle addressed a numerous and attentive audience ^ u \ the Chartist Association-room , on Monday evening last , on tho " Injurious Effects of Class Legislation , " and on the " Co-operative Land Scheme . " After the addresses , several questions were put to the lecturers , and objections raised to the Land plan , which were answered to the satisfaction of the audience . The Land plan is progressing in the locality in spite of alltheopposition ^ that the "First principle army , " consisting of some two or three , can raise against it .

      MIDDLE'im . Glorious Revival of Chartism ix Lancashire . — The following is the speech of William Dixon , dolivered upon this auspicious occasion , referred to in Mr . O'Connor ' s letter-, — Air . Dixon on coming forward to move the first resolution , said it was unnecessary for -him to tell them that he perfectly coincided with every principle enunciated in the resolution they had fust heard read . He was a Chartist , bccaiise ' he was convinced that justice would never lie dealt out to the working man until he was in possession of his full and equal share of political power . Therefore was ho a Chartist . But when he looked at tiie vast assembly before him ,

      he iclfc persuaded that , like all other public meetings , it was composed of persons holding different opinions on different subjects , and likewise that they had been drawn together by various motives ; some , * no doubt , had eome from curiosity to see what sort of thing a Chartist - camp - meeting was , others had pei-liaj t come for the purpose of " ridicule , and others for the move Englishman-like purpose of hearing for themselves , and judging accordingly , and there mightily some who had come for the base purpose of clutching a warm expression uttered in the heat and .

      excitement ol the moment , m order to veyovt tho same to the " powers that be , " to see if they could take any hold of it . However , they were there ; and lie ' ear eii not what liad prompted thorn to come . They ' would now hear what Chartism really was . They would now be convinced that it was not the '' bugaboo " which the pmz , the jnifyif , and the bar had represented it . For those parties had painted Chartism in such horrid colours , that weak-minded old men , who had not heard for themselves , trembled , and old women fainted at the verv name of it . What

      is Chartism % it is the cause oi the oppressed against the oppressors . What is Chartism ?—it is the cause of the many against the tyrannic ; ' . ! few . What is Chartism ?—it is the cause of vkht against might . in fact , to sum up the whole in a word , Chartism was the cause ot labour , or ho would never have lifted his tongue in its defence , But he was thoroughly convinced that nothing short of the People ' s Charter becoming the law of the land would rescue him and his class from that awful state of dependence , poverty , and destitution , to which the present system had reduced them . Believing this , he felt called upon at all times to do all that lay in his power for the advancement of that cause . It w ; : s said bv some ,

      "Why , what ' s the use ? Wc have done all we can do , and wc arc no nearer than wc were . " This was a fallacy . For his part , he saw no reason to despair , but every reason to go on with renewed energy and inevcasod exertion ; for Chartism was in a prouder position this day than ever it was since the commencement of the agitation . . Now , avus it true that they had done all they could do 1 In feet , comparatively speaking , they had done nothing . It was true they had attended meetings . It was true that they had held up their hands for resolutions . It was true that some of them had paid their pence , and they had also scut mew to Conferences . This they had done ; but they had neither acted up to the resolutions they

      had agreed to , nor adopted the plans laid down by their representatives in the various Conferences that had assembled to legislate for them , until now ; and , thank God , the time had come Avhcn they were beginning to work for themselves , lie , therefore , saw no reason that they should faint by the way . In fact , those who counted the cast at the cowvneneemenfc of tiie agitation were not deceived . They knew that in the straggle they would have much to contend with , many obstacles to overcome , amongst which were those gigantic evils , a corrupt press and an erroneous education . Had wc not been taught in the nursery ; and the school , that it was our place to bow with serf-like submission to our superiors ?" And the parson-, too , hail done thdr share in the work of stultifying and bedarkening the intellect of mankind , and making them the easv provofdesnots .

      The parsons endeavoured to cram it ' down their throats , that it was essentially necessary that tho working classes should pine , and starve , here below m order to fit them for bliss hereafter . Is it to be wondered at then , with such a combined phalanx of evils to contend with , that we have made uo more progress than wc have 1 Hut , thank God , the dav ot delusion has gone by ! Aristocratic and priestlv influcnce is on the wane . This is a sure and certain sign that thc ; day of liberty is dawning . Let us , then , take advantage of the improved circumstances bv which we are surrounded , and this day renew cur fealty to each other ; and under the broad canopv of heaven register our vows never to cease agitiuW until the sons of toil have their fair shave of Unit which their labour produced . lie might be a « kcd what was their " fair share . " lie had formed his

      own opinion on this matter ; and although lie was not much of a theologian , his theolosy told him that they wno would not work should not eat , " Alas ! those who worked the most under the present svsteni cat the least ; whilst those who toiled not , were surrounded with plenty . The parsons had endeavoured to impress on their minds that they were made foi toil alone—mere drudges to minister to the wants of the idlers : and in order to induce them to submit to his , they said it was "the will of God . " What blasphemy ! It was not the will of Heaven that one ot mankind

      part should ride rough-shod over the other , but that all should enjoy the fruits of the earth and be happy . « But then , " sav thev , "don ' t you know he mm , which says , 'By the sweat of thy brow thou shaft eat bread ? ' " Yes tbevknew that ; and knew also that that curse includes all men It does not say that one portion shall sweat and another enjoy the produce of that sweat It is no curse to labour , but it is a grievous curt that so many should Ike without sweat , and , bv X domg , rob the toiler of that which the cuvs itself preumcd him-bread in return for his sweat . lie ( Mr .

      that they should emulate the ant and the ke in their industry , and likewise take a lesson from them of the manner in which tliev dispose of the produced their labour . They toil , it is true , during the summer , and lay by a store for their winters use . Hits is an important lesson for us . It' tells us that we too , in the days of our youth and the vigour of , our manhood , ought to be enabled to make a provision forthe winter of our days , aud not to be left , when traveling the downhill of life , to the tender mercies of the New Poor Law bastile . This we can never do unless we have a voice in the distribution of the wealth which our labour produces , and this can only be accomplished by the Charter becoming a legislative enactment . With these obstacles , in conjunction with

      theman-degradingdoctrineof non-resistance to wrong , is it to be wondered at that the people have been a little backward in learning their duty ? To tell him that it was the " will of Heaven" that he was to suffer patiently under the manifold aggressions made upon his rights and perogatives by his fellow man , was to libel the Deity . All nature told him that such was a false doctrine . He envied not the man who had got it into his head that it was necessary for him to be reduced to a crust , in order to make him fit for future happiness . He was rather of the opinion that a plentiful supply of roaat beef and plum pudding was better calculated to enable a man to fulfil his duties to God and his neighbour than starvation . Was it not monstrous to imagine that human nature

      could be deprived of its feelings , and that a man could go to his knees and pray , whilst the convulsive s ib of a broken-hearted wife issued from one corner , and the cry of starving children for bread came from another ? How could such a man thank God for the comforts which he had received ?—when he had received nothing but insult and starvation , ami that not through the " will of Heaven ; " for his Maker had given him au undoubted right to exist , and the means oi existence from the soil of his fatherland . It was man alone who had deprived him of those rights . To be patient under such circumstances was indeed criminal . lie might be asked from whence he got this doctrine ? lie told them , from the works of nature , which pointed up

      to nature ' s God . lie found throughout the universe of animated matter one universal Jaw , mmely , that of self-preservation , which compelled the inferior animals to protect themselves from aggression , and if need be , to punish the aggressor . The ant was but a small insect , yet there was implanted within it a law which prompted it to protect its labour . Look at tiie lien surrounded with her brood , how she caters for their food ; aud when she has found the grain of corn , she cails them around her to partake of the fruits other toil . But should an intruder infringe on the rights of that domestic circle , she will defend it with all the energy of which her little system is possessed . This surely is a lesson for the fathers and husbands of England , who have allowed their domestic hearth to be robbed of its sweetest ornament , the cheering smiles of a happy and contented wife , surrounded by . her cleanly and healthy children . We have stood coldly and * apathetically

      by , whilst the ruthless hand of the oppressor kis dragged our wives and little ones into the factory or the loathsome mine , completely reversing the order of nature , making the wives and children toil , whilst the father and the husband is an unwilling idler and a pauper , Jiving upon the blood and vitals of those he loves . It is time that this system of wrong should have an end ; and he hoped that that day was the commencement of England ' s determination to be free . In order to do tfiis , it was necessary 'bleach and all ta do their shave of the work . It ' was in vain for them to think that those gentlemen by whom he was surrounded , those who had stood the heat of the battle , could of themselves accomplish liberty . No , The people must do it themselves if ever it was done . Those gentlemen had come to fell them what was necessary for them to do , but if they neglected to do it , it would be themselves that ivuidi beto blame , and not those who had faithfully pointed out their duty to tlicm .

      Iiie Operative Cottox Spisseus axd Self-acting "mulb worreks of scotland to t 1 ieih e . mi'lovelts —Gentlemen , —It will not surely be considered presumptive on our part in addressing you on the present occasion . We hud considered , from the continued and increasing prosperity of the cotton trade , that you would before this have offered to share with us , the producers of wealth , a portion of the additional value given for the products of our industry , consequent upon such jistate of trade . Kay , we had even hoped , after the declaration of Sir Robert Peel , on repealing thc . duty on cotton , that such repeal was expressly conceded for the purpose of benefitting- die labouring class , and , considering that the duty in many instances amounted to more than is uiven for

      spinning , we were confiding enough to sup ose that generosity would have prompted you ! o give us a nortioa of the abrogated tax . Considering also the present depreciated m-iee of * , he raw material , with the advanced and advancing price in yarns , without any feeling bring evinced on your part that we thnuhl share in any . of-these advantages , has lc ; u ! to the present appeal . Gentlemen , —wc have no desh-c to place ourselves in" antagonism to our employers ; we can but regret that it is sometimes nece * . - . nYy . Let them but bejust to thos « whose labour w . vuiuw . ihem , and uut a murmur will escape our lips ; but wiicn wc sec a desire mi their pare to absorb as much of \!> e wealth which wo produce as they possibly can , what else is to be expected than that we should meet

      combine , and demand a portion of the " lio ; : ' s share . " ' ft has been our lot in times of commercial depression to feel it in all its severity , by reduction following reduction in our wages , while in times of prosperity , unless demanded by the workmen , wc reap none u !' its advantages . In looking at the price of yarns in years when i 51 d . pershUliugwas paid for spinning , wc find that they were no higher in some of tho ^ c ycais than what they arc at present—while the price in the raw material bears no comparative proportion to what it then was . Looking at all those things , is it to be wondered at , that we should feet dissatisfied with our present condition , and especially in contrasting it with many other bodies of workmen ? The long and protracted hours of Knmitigatcd toil which wc have to perform , in anaitificially heated and impure
