Humanly _speaking your pills have saved » y life ! Many _Ctjted to dissuade me from using thcra _, and I doubtnot but that hundred * are deterred from taking your most excellent medicine , in consequence of the impositions practised fajmany worthless _wretches ; but what a pity it is that the deceptions used by others , should be the means of pre . vsating m 3 ny nnbappy persons , under disease , from re . gaining health , by the use of your pills . When I com . _mencea the use of your pills 1 _vrasin a most wretched _ssmdition , and to my great delight , in a . few days after _, wards , there was a considerable change for the better , and by _continsiug to use them for some weeks , I & ave been perfectly restored to health , to the surprise of all who hava witnessed tho state to which 1 had been reduced by the disordered state of the Liver and Stomach ; wonld to God that every poor sufferer would avail him . self of the same astonishing remedy .

The startling facts that ¦ were continunlly brought before the publie at once _rei moved anv prejudice which some may have felt ; the continnal good which resulted from their use spread their ; fame far and wide , at this moment there is scarcely a . country on tbe face of tbe globe which has not heard of I their benefits , and have sought far supplies , whatever ; ' might be tbe cost of transmission . Tbe United States , Caaad . , India , and even China have had immense quantities shipped to their respective coun trios , and with the _, same result as iu England—Univkbsal GooP . j The "eneral use of this medicine , having been the result oi the benefits experienced by thousands of peri sons , and that the knowledge of such be useful toalj , ! we _racumniei . d a careful perusal of the following Testimonials . I The sale of Parr ' s Life PiUs amounts to upwards of ' , 000 boxes weekly , more than all other patent medi . i cines put together .

      in the work-mom of Mr Ilolgate , iron-founder , Dalestreet . A little boy , named Laws _^ n , was engaged holding a strap , which worked a larj ; e lathe , when the other end got entangled with the engine-wheel , the consequence of which was , that he was whirled round between the strap and tho wheel . His arms were torn completely out of their sockets , and his legs having come in contact with the roof were broken in several places . As soon » 3 possible the _unfortunate lad was extricated , and taken to the Northern Hospital .

The water company , whose works are now almost completed , have beeo testing the efficiency of the fite plu _^ s and the condition of the mains , in different parts ; and , in doing so , have discharged a copious stream with a considerable portion of the immense power at their command , in an almost horizontal direction along the _streetSi stripping them of their mud severing much more effectually than could be done by an army ot scavengers or a brigade of _sweeping machines . The efficiency of this mode of cleansing is well worth tho _contideration of the improvement commissioners , with a view to its regular adoption .

      IRISH } _DEMOCRATIC CONFEDERATION . The meeting of this bodywas well attended on _Sufr day evening last , at Cartwright ' _u . Mr J . Murray , vice-president , in the chair , who thanked the meeting for the honour they had done him in electing him to the vice-presidency , Mr O'Connor ' s letter to the Irish people was then read amidst marked and enthusiastic Eatisfaction , after which—Mr CuKor commented , at considerable length , upon different portions of the letter in approval of the policy adopted by Mr O'Connor in Parliament , and condemnatory of tbe fruitless attempt of Mr _, Magee , in Dublin , to revive , the prejudices of the j past in the breasts of the Irish people against the

      president . He ( Mr C . ) contended that , the man who was not prepared , at five minutea notice , to _ffiVO his vote for the interest of his country was not fit to be in the house , nor could his conduct be palliated by any excuse , however plausible , that might be made for it—tho fact was , Mr O'Connor's motion had spoiled the Repeal member ' s ' game of trucnleney ;' ho had jeopardised their hope of promotion by placing them between two fires , —be hoped he would do so every session of parliament till the undisciplined levies would be compelled to stop at home till they attained Mr Magee ' s standard of perfection in ' National Legislation and Parliamentary tactics ;' but aa we conld not hope for this , the better way would be each so _* _sion to throw tbem at once ' on to'the

      Ministerial benches ; they had been taunted , in that room , with not applying themselves to Irish affairs ; he denied the assertion , there never was a night but they had done so—unless interrupted by those who made the _chares—and , be _WOUld _malta bold to Say , that every _Irish ? iian who heard that letter read * tonight would have _gained more useful information and instruction than if they should read the whole of tbe Irish _Papers , ~ Wrt 7 > , Radical , and Repealers—for the next twelve _months . Mr C . concluded by moving the _snspension of the standing order , which having been complied with , he submitted the following motion to the meeting <—

      _Tha-ttthls meetin _? highly approves of the manly and _unbiassed conduct of M J . Barry , Esq ., at a public meeting in lifablin , in _reproving th _^ t attempt of Mr Magee to slight tho exertions of Mr _CUonnor in parliament , thereby _making fresh the sore which he pretended ! to heal , by furnishing an excuse to the pledged members of Repeal for their perfidions con _lurf on that question . This _moeting _ifffortlier of opinion . _Aat the ' wait awJiile' doc . trine propounded by Mr _Wng-ee has ever been the most _rulnoua to Ireland , .

      Mr II . _Tbbker rose to second the motion , which , be ? _ai . d , bad hia hearty approval :. he contended ' S ; waa their duty to watch public mem-he lamented that the Irish people did not _exerem tbat control' over p _' ub'ic men , _wftieh would ha a guarantee to tneir keep _' _ng in the right path . Mr T . adverted to the conduct of Mr Bright in parliament . He said the Chartists had always denounced Fright and hi * Free ' Trade nostrum _^ & nt O'Connell bat ? always appro-red iof it ; but look at his conduct now towards Ireland . : Where were your fine speakers ii ? the bonse ? dm * i any of them reply to him ? No , _tbav would leave it | tor , O'Connor to dbr—and he knew O'Connor _wouitf i _oive him a rap for ft yet , _brieht a bay aa lie was .

      Mr Hawlow next addressed the meeting ; after having paid in bis _Bobscriotion and been enrolled . iNo man . more respected Mr O'Connor than he did ; but yet be thought that it was ill-timed of hira to * bring forward the Kepeal question' aft ihe time he ditf—besides , the Irish members did not come to parliament to vote for Repeal ; ' hut to look for fond for _the-neople ' of that country . He next replied to Mr Tucker ' s observations on Mr Bright , and said , at the time Mr Bright brought forward his _statements , that there was not a _singie notice from any Iriphman on the books of tbe honso r

      , Mr C . M'Carthy replfed to the last speaker , and contended that the fact stated by Mr Hhnlon was an additional reason for Mr O'Connor to place a motion on . the books , and as to creating dissension among the members , it _-wasqunte plain Mr Hanlon had not read the aereement made between Mr O'Connor and SrV John O'Connell ; nor Mr O'Connor ' s offer to withdraw the motion it it waa considered ill-timed by the Irish members , but did * any of them request him to do so ? Not one ! on the contrary . John O'Connell _teld' him to _po on , that it could not Be in better hands . JThe gentleman had told them t & st the Irish _membeVa came over to- get food for the people ; but ought tbey . not to have known what sort of fond thev wouFdget _from'the base . bloody , and _brotal Whigs ?' _( Jblcf steel and leaden bullets waa the Whigs * regimen fop the people ; they _fenew very well that while two millions of the Irish people were _being turned of starvation there was more- food entering the docks of

      Liverpool from Ireland- than from all tha rest of the world beside ; but Lord John would not meddle with private _tra-le , and they knew it—hence the absurdity of expecting anything for tbe Irish people from the Whigs but coercion ,. and hence the necessity of having such a man in the home as the _member for Nottingham , who showed that the great patriots were no patriots at all . _Groitan , on a former _SToercion Bill _, said that sooner tbafl bis tenantry should be coerced ho would remove them to a foreign _land _? but now we see him voting with the Ministers . He believed the landlord class- had brought misery on the land , that there were Road landlords in Ireland , had been shown , who had no occasion to even bolt their doors at . night because- they felt themselves secure in the affections of their-tenantry ; but until the people had the power to controul their representatives by the principles expressed in the letter _readCthey would be always sufferers by the _grinding classof society .

      Mr Sum . _iva . 1 said , he hoped Mr Hanlon would not take umbrage at any _observation that might be made towards tbe li _» e of argument he had adopted . He was sure , on ealmer reflection , that his arguments were not tenable . He ( Mr S . > was glad to pay tribute to his countryman , Michael Joseph Barry , on this occasion , _althnush no roan bad made a severer _thrust at their principlea than did M . J . B .. in his prize essay ; but although he once m _' eht have thought that tho people had no right in tbe making of the laws , he hoped he did not think so still—and he hoped to see him one day advance a step further in themaroh of _fraternalisatiou . lie considered it was a sad thing that the Irish people had no means , till lately , of testing the sincerity of tho Irish members . _Letuss » ppo 8 e they might be all honest patriots . But how could the people be certain that thev were so , unless they had florae means of _teafcing " them ? Ih 6 y were elected aa Repealers , but were never

      tested by it ; until , thank God and the men of Nottingham , Feargus O'Connor ' scattered the rats . ' ( Laughter ) And hehop ? d he would doso every session _, as nothing wonld annoy the ministry more , nor show tho Irish people their pretended friends , better than this sort of cross-firing by a few good sharpshooters in the _Honse of Commons . ( Cheers ) Mr Wadick was glad to gee his friend Mr Hanlon come amongst them . He could see that it was the beauty of their principle that every man could be heard with patience , and without fear of insult for his opinions . They preached and they practised equality , and the man that would stand up as dictator amongst them , would get lau 8 hed at for his trouble . A great deal had been said about Repeal , but he bolieved that no nation could be free _unlesa its people were individually and collectively represented ; and he . would challenge any man to prove that the people of Ireland hadI got one potato more byali the a ° itation in Ireland for the last twenty [ years , nor would

      tney tortbe next , unless the people took their own affairs into their own hands , and until the rights of the people were fully recognised by those who p . etended to lead the people . He had sees a letter in theT _^ _RT to Lord Stanley , in which the writer stated that tho Irish _pgople were tho most loyal neople on the face of the earth . He believed that was a lie—nay . more , it was worse , damnable hvnocrisv and a gross insult to the Irish people . They had no reason to be loyal ; and one great reason for hia joining this _BBCiety was , because its members did not teach such fulsome , 3 oul-sickening stuff Mr Bbzbh followed , and _argued in favour of the policy pursued by Mr O'Connor . He was glad to see that the Irish people ' s eyes were opening . Once opened , the sham patriots would not find it aa _*>»« *

      matter to close them again . He was glad to hear Mr Hanlon express himself so fully as he had done . I hey had met for the purpose of discussing the best means ot serving their respective countries , and thev could not wpect todo _eo with advantage without exhibit !!* at all times , a good feeling towards each other , and hei was glad to witness , by the agroeablc manner of Mr 11 ., that even with so short an ac . quaintance hey could bo good humoured , _thou-h they might differ in punctilioes The o _& _nfiomT-1 1 admitted thatWon was not _wPfoSSffland and Mr J .

      length upon tho policy pursued by the late Mr OTnn neU before the committee * in Parliamen t and that pursued by him since that period . In 1825 he on his oatb , recommended that the . English government should possess the nomination of tbe Catholic bishops , and a system of mixed education , and that the Irish peasantry were so demoralised , aa not to ba believed , on oath . They were all aware that the policy of Mr O'Connell , since 1825 , was quite _opposite to his sworn testimony He ( Mr Reynolds ) held the Map boon m his hands , contnininj ? that _evidenca which at once stamped Mr O'Connell as a most dis ! honest politician . He ( Mr R . ) had been _condemned for opposing Mr O'Connell , frafc the opinion he hart of

      formed the _pnblte character of that individual they would also form if they read the evidence , and did not shut their eyes against glaring inconsistency , He knew _wtet he had stated was not palatable to knaves and designing men , but truth and justice , put in golden vessels , no honeBt men will turn from their lips . Mr _Glais ( an Englishman ) said , he hailed with delight the rapid _' _strides made by the Confederation throughout Ireland , _iingland _, America , and the colonies . It at once showed that their principles were appreciated . The Confederation had scarcely been in existence twelve months , and with all the prejudice and the physical force of the OMlrelandera of Dublin , Cork , Lir & erick , and the bull-dogs of Bel * fast , broHght to bear against them , they were Btill triumphantly risine in . public opinion .

      Messrs Scott , M Sweeney , _Hussey , and- Hannon , addressed the meeting , which then separated . Thb ' Davis'Club . —A numerous meeting of thia club was held on Monday evening , at their leeture room , 83 . _Dean-ratreet . Mr PiUgerald ( vise president ) in the chair . Mr _Loouet read the report of the proceedings of the club since its formation . The report went on to slate that they had remitted to tho Confederation inlDuhiin Sid , 6 s < 6 d „ and that they subscribed to the following journals—The _Wobthern Star . _Nation , Cork Exmsiner _, Limerick Reporter , Galwat Vis . dicator , Staffordshire Advertiser , London asd Liverpooe Advertiser , Ac , Ac , and _tfcat the thanks of the clHb were given to those journals for having

      given _reports from time to time , of the proceedings of the London Confederates , by which means great eood was done to the cause ef Irish nationality , [ Webegto eta * ethat we have retained the services of a gentleman for some time past , to report the _proceedings of the-metropolitan meetings of this body , as our journal ' _sbowsj Artic _/ _es-wcre then read from the Nation and * Limerick Repobtss . The address of the congregated trades of Limerfck to J . O'Connell , on his late visit to 'the eity of the violated treaty . ' was received with great disapprobation on Being read , from ; Its servile and jsriBg ' wg tone ; and the speech of * the leader * met with much the same reception . Tho Confederates of E _. Gne ! on are not to Be gulled by fine words and empty promises . They nave had eneugh'of them .

      Mr T . Damj . Jin an eloquent » a < f argumentative soeecb , said , _hfr could not _agrea with Mr John O'Connell that bin youthful inexperience had led hfra to make charges against individuals , which , upon mature investigation , he found were not trne . Tbo Times of that day bad caMed Mr J . O'Connell t 2 e fat little _sentleman of thirty-five . So much , then , for youthful inexperience . It behoved the Confederation to- be very careful _aa to tbe terms entered into with the _Conciliation Hall party , for a re * conciliation . The principles of the Confederation must be kept intaofc and inviolate—but he ( Mr D . )

      thoneht fthot the- letter of Mr O'Connell , in the _FhBEiajf ' s Jovmm ,. would act « ¦ _s a barrier to a reunion , as it recommended lugging in the priesthood . MVO'Connell would'find that he had- a very small portion of that body with him . He begged to state to the meeting that the Confederation had purchased the Cork Southbbw : Reporter * and that there was every probability of a Confederate jonrnal being started at Nenagh . He ( Mr Daly ) had been selected by the committee feoproceed to Dublin , to be present at the _meetings _of the Confederation' on the 11 th , 22 ib , and I _£ th of the present month . ( LoEd cheers . )

      Mr T . 0 'Maho » ht then proceeded to address the meeting at great length , and in referring to the late memorable Repeal debate in Parliament , said , they knew better than to treat Mr F . O'Connor as they dfu * Mr Fagan , of _d / _orb , for they were weJJ aware ho was a practical debater and a tried man—( loud cheers)—and an honest one , too , which waa followed by loud cheering . He should wnteb the conduct of parties with respect to a reconciliation . A re-union was very much _required at the present time , but the principles of the- Confederation must _iot be tampered with . ' No _plaee-begping , 1 no government patronage—and to oblivion with the peace resolutions . Several other gentlemen having addressed the as * _sembly , the meeting then adjourned .

      This club possesses a library of over 100 volumes , comprising some of the best authors , which _havfl been presented to its members since its formation .

Mr Fitzgerald ( Davis Club ) delivered a lecture , showing the usefulness of Confederate clubs in the metropolis . The lecture was well received througli * out . Mr Giass addressed the meetine , showing that Repeal was as much an English question as an Irish one . Several persons having paid in their subscriptions , the meeting adjourned .
