      ( To Ur . Pront , 2 . 29 , Strand , London . ) Gainsborough , April 7 , 1838 . Sib , —I am requested by Thomas Thornhill , of this town , to communicate to you the almost miraculous benefit be has received from tbe use of BLANK'S PILLS : b * ^ w * b aeea n box of them at my shop last night , * taticg tliat he had beensuflering from Rheumatic Fever for the last fifteen weeis , which had rendered him unable evtn so much as to

      lift bis hand to his head , without great pain . I was astonished to Fee him again this afternoon , laughing and throwing hi ? arms about like a madman . He tame to state , that he is already all but cured . I really could not have imagined that a single day could have made such a difference in the appearance of a man . Yesterday he was despairing o . f relief , and looked the p i cture of misery , to-day he is full of spirit , and seems as happy as a prince .

      The fame of the Medicines is now spreading rapidly ; I see my stock is exhausted , yon will therefore oblige by sending six dozen boxes immediately , to Your obedient servant , 4

      B . S . HALL . These Pills are taken without the least care or attention , by either sex , young or old , and have the peculiar property of entirel y removing the disease without debilitating the frame , which is universally left m a stronger » nd better state than before the malady oomrnenced . And there is another most important effect belonging to this Medicine—that it pT ^ ents the disease flyiDg to the brain , stomach , or other vital part . '

      sag-s : SSffijssfifei * «* & give you an increase oT political power / ' - ¦^^ Mi'Aaafits As I one day hope « o have my words and actioS contracted , f shall treat you with the same W I shall , therefore , give quotations fntm your several speeches , npou the subject of the Factory Question jnade prenoasly to the subscription entered into bv the manufacturers of Manchester in particular , and many other parts of England—and then I shall give your vote . ° Extracts from Mr . O'ConnelVs Speeches in the House Hume of Commons , on the Factory Question .

      Mr . O'Connell . —" The HonourableaudLearned Member lor Kirk c udbri ght says that this is a medical question } but , Sir , it is a question also of humanity nnd religion ; and 1 am bound to state , that the clergy complain , not only of the melancholy effects produced upon the health , of their children by this system , but also of the utter impossibility of imparting religious instruction to them . In the case of Romnu Catholic children , some of the parents ( I am informed ) are in the habit of putting some questions outot the catechism ou slips of paper , and stitching them ou the sleeves of the children's clothes , upon their goiug to the factory * in order that they mav

      learn something ; but whenever these slips of paper were fonnd , the children were punished . As to the Committee upon whose report and evidence the House is about to legislate , I beg to remind Hon . Gentlemen of the fact , that that Committee was appointed , not at the suggestion of Mr . Sadler , er the other friends of the Bill , butaguiuxt their wish ; and it is therefore not fair to complain of its proceediiigji . The parents , under the present system pursued in factories , have an interest in submitting their cliilnren to ill-treatment , and I hopmhe House will not hesitate oue moment for further information . " ¦

      And again : — Mr . O'Connemj —Really I do not think we ought to hayo any more delay ; . There ought to be an end , b y this time , to any suggestion of the kind . HEAVEN KNOWS , WE 11 AVE DELAYED LONG ENOUGH ! When Mr . Sadler proposed a Bill upon this subject in a former Parliament— when delay was a&ked for , we were told we were not in form , and accordingl y a Coiumitiee was appointed . ( u the early part ol this Session , when the Noble Lord ( Ashley ) n ^ ar mebruoghtin his Bill , the Noble Lord opposite started another Bill : a . Committee was worn out , and what then ? Why , we must h » v . e another Committee under the name of a Commission . What Commute did last year .

      Commission wns to do this : and Commission now , having done its work , we are going to have a Committee again . Well , surely , it will not be treating Commission fairly if , after having two Committees , we do not have two CominUsiuiis ; and so , the moment this Commission is over . I suppose we inn ^ t have another . Really rutc , t / tis is trifling—thii is childish ; but what ate u-i : trifliig uboutf ABOUT HUMAN EXISTENCE . W at question are we dallying with ? Tke question whether a child in England shall work tor a longer period of time than you prescribe to the negro in the West Indies . A grown negro , by your express provision , is not to work longer than ten hours , and lor one-fourth of that time is to be paid . When a Bill is introduced into this House , the first

      mode of delaying it is to contend against the principle , and next against the mischief it is calculated to remedy . When the principle is decided , and the mischief , then yon may contend that there is some countervailing evil in the remedy , and then you may demand an enquiry . Now what is the principle in this case ? That every human being in this country under the age of twenty-one , shall be under the protection of the law . That i * all ; that is the law of the country . You have only to establish the fact that a human creature is under the age of twentyone , and the King is bound to protect that creature in all its right * , and in every thing that relates td itself and its happiness . Accordingly he constitutes a great officer—his Lord Chancellor—to protect

      every minor . If any human being under the age of twenty-win hna one hundred pounds in th « world , the Lord Chancellor takes especial care of die minor —that is , if he has property . He governs every body ; he may tear a judge from the bench—he may tear you from the chair . Sir . he doprived this House of the services of one of its members in the last Parliament . VV'hy ? Because , there being gold and silver enough to put the Wheels of Chancery in motion , iie was bound , in the case to which I ullude ,. to protect the child , and not a single particle of injury can be done to it . The Lord Chancellor can tear a child from the mother who bore him . The moment the fact is established , that the child ought to have different treatment from that which it receiveseven

      , jrom its mother , that moment the Lord Chancellor interferes . Well , you have children here who have no Lord Chancellor to protect them ; they have not got the pound * , shillings * and pence ; they have no other property but their labour . If the princi ple be established , if the Chancery machinery be too extensive , then , I say , this House is bound to become the Universal Chancellor . The principle is clear—we are bound to protect them . It is impossible to look to the first volume of evidence without seeing the fact ; then , why not legislate at once ? Oh , but there may be a counterbalancing evil ! To be sure , if you stop ( he

      child ' s labour , you may prevent a yard of calico being spun out ! and , if you interfere lo prevent a child from working itself to death , you may stop a spinningjenny for an hour . 1 do not wish , however , to put this calculation in a ludicrous point of view . It is conceded that there ought to be some term of age , within which children should not be allowed to be thus overworked . I say the term ought to be tuenty-one ; for that ij the term which the law allows ;' but at all-events , I should say , that it certainly ought not to be les * than eighteen . It you go below eighteen , how will you ever make ovst your calculation ?"

      Speech of Mr . 0 ' Council at the London Tavern . Dan . O'Connell , Esq ., M . P ., rose to propose the second resolution , which he had been requested to do since he entered the room . " The resolution , in which he warmly and heartily concurred , was to the effect that l the meeting were convinced that the gains of oppression were a national loss , and that legislative interference on the subject of the condition of Factory children was imperatively called lor ;' and he was determined to support it with all his energies . ( Hear . ) He ( Mr . O'Couneil ) was a hither , and could , therefore , feel an individual . sympathy for these poor children . Who would not urolnole infant enjoyment ? With what feelings , then , could he regard that abominablu system which

      changed the brightest period of human life into a frightful desert , and which deprived these wretched beings of the enjoyment of that part of human existence in which nature indemnities herself by anticipation for all the after miseries of life ! " With this _ feeling he had often asked how parents could be induced to rend asunder the dearest strings of life—how the mother could forget the pangs wkich she had endured for the safety and happiness of her little ones , and consent to sacrifice them on the altar of the Factory Moloch . The answer which he had received ou these occasions terrified him ; it was waut—wretchedness- —misery—starvation . Nothing but starvation could ever interfere between the mother and the protection of her infants .

      Nothing but actual want , and thefear of their starvation could induce such a violation of all the maternal feelings . Good God ! that such a nystem should exist in" ' a Christian country—that poor infants should be condemned to the deprivation of sleep , the inhalation of poison , and the endurance of the extremes of human anguish , to obtain a miserable pittance to save themselves and thvir parents , perhaps , from starvation ! The question was a questisn of blood , and those who should stand by and acquiesce in the continuance of such a system , after the facts which had been stated , would be guilty of murder . ( Cheers . ) He ( Mr . O'Connell ) knew that it was wrong in principle to interfere between the master and the labourer in questions of

      political economy , but was this a question of political economy ? His heart told him that it was not , and that where the parental feelings are in question , political economy itself must giv » way . ( Hear , hear . ) • • He trusted that he should not be mistaken in supporting this cauvethe cause of those who had no protector—no voice but the voice of humanity ; and that it should have the support of aU his energies , humble as they were , he PLEDGED himself . " ( Cheers . ) • • [ The Hon . and Learned Gentleman , thuii proposed the resolution , aud sat down amid long-continued cheering . ] " That this great city , the metropolis of a Christian and commercial empire , and justly famed for its institutions of mercy , is bound to express it * conviction that ' the gains of oppression are a national loss , ' and to declare its deep sympathy towards tbe Factory Children of this empire , whose sufferings

      under the present system have been fully developed in the evidence before the select Committee on Mr : Sadler ' s Bill ; and for whose protection , as well as for the general good of society , an effective legislative enactmentis imperatively called lor . " You voted for what you designated as mnrder . N ow , what do you think ? By all that ' s just I would rather see the following advertisement , than the extmcta and the vote . — " Feargus O'Connor , late M . P . for the county of Cork , and now unworthy o \ public confidence , wants a situation as dog-boy or under-scullion in a respectable family—has no objection to town or country . " I must sift the merits of thin vote , and the reasons why Manchester , rather than Radical Birmingham or other towns , or evt * London , paid so large a sum as £ 1 , 000 . for your political services . A meeting was called at the Crown . and Anchor—I care not

      - i - * - ^ i * ^^^ Tt ^_ FEARQUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., TO PANIEL O'CdNNELL , ESQ ., M . P . LETTER V . Sm , —I now come to the most important Session of the Reformed Parliament . The Melbourne Admijawtration was in full bloom : weeded of all your old opponents save those to whom you would bend , or tno * e who would bend to you , you brought the balance of power to bear upon a poised beam , and y « u used it very indiscreetly . ' i Yoo arrived ia England before the Session , lipon another anti-Lord crusade . You knew that the question of Repeal had made vou unpopular with the Lnglish middle classes ;" ho , instead of ( according to promise ) making r tow to advocate Repeal , you made one to strangle it , by shewing that justice to

      Ireland was all that you required by the Repeal of tbe Union . You went to Liverpool , and gave up the question . ; praised the Ministers , abused the Lords , without stating that the abase was occasioned hy the servility of the Commons , andjou held Mr . Ewart up as the \ ery beau ideal of an English country gentleman , with which you finished there . Yon went to Birmingham , and you wanted justice for Ireland to alter ( he Jury system : now markthn Jury system , the abnsea wilder which you hugged , " as they gave you more power in Ireland . " Yon were the drag upon the State carriage—yon were for safe and modarute changes ; in fact , you were for any change that the middle classes would acquiesce in .

      lhe last was ( except to yourself ) a fruitless Session . You were ousted from your seat in Dublin . The election expenses were to be paid . Irviiuid could not furnish half-yearly subsidies ; and , therefore , English prejudices were to be conquered . You commenced battle upon Irish Corporate Reform ; the Lord * rejected the measure of the Commons ; * you drraded the rupture which you had provoked , and you ngain talked the Irish , and many of the English Members into an abandonment « f the original project . Now , vour object was founded upon what experience had * taught you , namely , thar , although the dail y press would abuse tin ; Ministers , yet , Jrom your Irish Parliamentary influence , you imagined that your general strength would mnkt * you

      acceptable to the people ; aud , therefore , you had the fo ] l y to abuse Ministers for doinu things iu which you ur ^ ed them on , and which , withour your support , they never would have ventured upon . Yuu sought to monopolise to yourself any gleam of popular i ty which might have been attached to a gasping MiuKxtry ' ri extravagant promises ; while you « ipposed that a venal press would protect you from any ol the odium consequent upon being a party to expediency policy . Upon the rejection b y the Commons , of the Lords Corporate Reform Bill , you wrote a letter to the people of England , headed with "Justicu to Ire-Iand . " in large words . I answered it in a letter to the Radical * of Hull—I exposed the fallacy of your

      reafomug , mid prevented any Radical agitation upon the question upon your plan ; in that letter I required from you a specific motion upon the subject ; you gave notice ol a motion ; but , like many others , it entled where it began . Now I was of opinion , that the country hnd a right to an exposition of the plan which the leader of this great change had in view ; I thought that a good speech , and good ground laid in Parliament , would be safe matt-rinls to work upon outside , and , in iIik event of your plani being feasible , you would have hnd the support of the Radicals ; but , what did you do ? Hring it forward ? No ; but , like the Repeal , you absent yourself from the House and allow the people of England to digest , as best thev

      can , your wild and visionary actions , relative to an orgnnic change in the hereditary branch ol" the legislature . llippon ' s motion came on , and you never opened your hps upon the subject , lest you should di > pel some of the mngic influence of your airy castle . Next , the Ballot;—now recollect your late doctrims — "lam for Biennial Parliiimmts , as I think it much ea-ier to get rid of a . rogue at the end of two years than oue —( alaugh . ) 1 hiuforthe Universality of the Suffrage ; but above all , 1 am far the Ballot , to protect the honest voter in the discharge of his solemn duty . ( Cheers . ) " Well , but you spoke upon Mr . Grote ' s motion—did not you ? Not a single word—you were afraid of embairassine your friends .

      During the session you attended some few Public Meetings , nnd you felt perfectly astounded at the progress made in Radical speaking aud acting . You came amongst utas th « ~\\ hig urgaii , with license to go . a little farther than you were' ready to go , or wouidby your party be allowed to go , iu the House . i ou dined with us at White Conduit House to celebrate the restoration of thg Dorchester labourers . 1 shall quote a portion of your speech : —'' Oh ! but let us lay aside all our petty difference * , and tackle one and all to cninh the Tories ; recollect theone huudred and seventy old women in pan taloons . Oh ! how did I carry Emancipation r—By Uniou—by tbt ! leople ' s Petition- and let me have petitions : rom the English ye . pie , and they shall hear no more ol hereditary legislation . But I must have the right description of petitions though , let them run thus , — >> e , five hundred thousand fighting men , do humbly petition your honourable House . —"

      Sir , this is dry detail ! you txre now trying to do , what the Roman Catholic clergy have already accomplishi'd , namely , to suppress faction fighting at fairs in Ireland , and perhaps , it may not be uuiuteresting to illustrate your position , " by an Irish anecdote—thatis , if yon are sincere in your declarations of peace , and your discountenance of violence , of which I am an admirer . In the county of Cork there were two powerful factions , the Honrabanes andScarties ; a day was set apart fora reconntre between the belligerents : the Hourahanes were led to action by 1 im , their leader , and the Scanies headed by the lea- ! erof their pariy , called Mick Seattle . The Hourahnnes were marshalled and fir > t on lhe ground , tho Scarties were slow in theiradvau . ee but presently sallied from their ambosh , with three cheers for " theScanies" and " where ' * the rascally Honrahane ? " The Hourahaues wheel'd , which hs know

      ) ' <•« ( in Ireland ) mean * , brandished their shillelaghs , and , Tim ' s blood being up , he was a little too impetuous and mad for righting ; a more discreet supporter of the honour of the Hourahan < t « , one Jerry Sullivan , repeatedly interfered to check Tira ' n ardour , but without success . Tim roared , ' 1 im bellowed , and Tim wheel'd ; while the Scarties stood paralyzed , and panic stricken by Tim's auxutv for the onset . At lengih , however , the paities met ; Tim was a little cooled by a wnart lick ol a Scarty black thorn on the left siite of the head , whereupon he turned upon Jerry Sullivan whose npueala were heretofore scoffed at , and with eyes ftashiug fire , be vociferated , '' Damn your sowl Jerry , yon that knuwn my temper why dontyou honld me . " As I leave a great licence , to the community in attaching motives to your actions , 1 must also give them the trouble to furnish a moral for my Irish story .

      At the dinner at White Conduit Honse you were sharply taken to task ; and I believe , had not the anticipation of the support of themonied order prevented yon , you would ( after the ta « e you received or Radical penetration ) again have laken your place at the head of the Democratic table . During the session of which I write , you , who were theproiessed enemy to the Union of Church and State , cemented me alliance with no other view than to remain upon good terms with the present ministry . You abandoned the English Radical Member ? , and cajoled tee Irish representatives ; you encreased the number k- u L Blsh , ops ' and "ecame a party to a Bill which the people of England , Scotland , and Ireland , view as a re-acknowledgement of the incestuous

      w ? betw . een Church and State . V \ hat ! did yon suppose that an administration broken up lor want of a suflicientyielding to democratic principle , would have been a justification for men lejs liberal taking tbe reigns of government ? L > id you imagine that the people of England , once imposed upon , would ever have confidence in the imposter agaiH ? But you want cheap law and justice to Ireland , and the establishment of democratic pnnciples , and you are worthy of the confidence of the Irish nation .

      Compulsory Emigration of Young Females . —Bow-street . —On Wednesday week a decent-looking woman , named Mary Croker , who stated that she was a widow , and resided in Shi pyard , Temple Bar , appeared before the magistrates , apparently in preat affliction , to complain of the conduct of the parish officers of St . MartiD ' a-in-tbe-Fields , whom she charged with sending off her daughter to the Cape flf Cfood Hope , without her knowledge and consent Tbe poor woman , as well as her grief would allow her , said that she was herself in service , and ,. having no means of supporting her child , she waa obliged to place her three years ago in St . Martirr's workhousefrom which she

      , was removed to an establishment for children at Norwood , in connexion with the parish . Having heard , about a twelvemonth since , tbat it was intended to send off some of the pauper children to the Cape of Good Hope , she ( applicant ) fearing that her child might be included in the number , look her away from the parish altogether , but being in great distress she was again compelled to plac- ? her in the workhouse , and until a few days ago she was under the belief that she was still an inmate of the establishment at Norwood ; instead of which she wasinformed by Mr . Dixon , the relieving officer of the parioh , that her peor girl had been shipped with other pauper children for the Capeon board

      the-, Triumph , Captaia Green , which sailed for that place on the 7 th inst . Mr . Twyford : Did the pariah send away your child without consulting you or giving you any intimation of their intention ? Applicant : I received no notice whatever , Sir , from the pari « h , although I particularly begged of Mr . Dixon to send me notice , in case it was intended to deprive me of my child , for I never would have consented to part from her . Mr . Twyford : How old is your daughter ? Applicant : She will be thirteen years old in March next , and although they told me that it was with her own consent she went , I am ture she never would have agreed to go ; and even if she bad consented , a child of her age hardl

      can y be supposed to know her own mind . Mr . Twyford : You , ae the mother , had certainly a right to be consulted , but ' . T . do not understand yet how she was sent away . The applicant explained , that she understood her child- had been sent to a cociety at Chiswjck , called the Children ' s Friend Society , and that it was " by them -she was sent abroad . The poor woman here handed to the magistrate a printed paper which she received &t the workhouse , and which proved to be a prospectus issued by tbe society in question * One-of the rules set forth , that " after a preparatory discipline , the children , unless received by their friend ? , or discharged in consequence of a refusal on their partor on the part of their

      , friends , or guardians ^ to emigrate , are apprenticed as farm or domestic servants to useful individuals in the colonies abroad . " Mr . Twyford : Did you apply t » the parish officers to explain how it was that you received no notice of their intention to send jour daughter abroad ? Applicant : I did , Sir , but they only made a jeer « f it , and laughed at me ! and when I asked them if I would not be allowed to follow my child , they said that was qnite out of the qnestion . I went last Sunday to Norwood to my daughter , and took a few oranges and other little things to give her ; but when I got there they told me that my child was at the workhouse ,-and when I got there , I received an answer

      which nearly broke my heart . Mr . Thi . sselton : The parish had certainly no right to sent the girl away without the consent of her mother . Mr . Twyford : Certainly not ; aDd I think if it is the mother ' s wish , that they are bound to send the girl hack again . I do not see , however , how we can interfere , except by Fending a letter to the parish officers , stating the circumstances under whicb the applicant appeared before us , and requesting them to explain why they fent the girl away without apprising the mother , and obtaining her consent . A letter to that effect was thea written by order of the magistrate , and it was given to the applicant to take to St . Martin ' s workhouse ^

      Penury in its most Appalling Shape . — Lambeth-Street . —About seven or eight days ago die magistrates at this office received a letter apprising them that a famil y , consisting of a man , his wife , and seven children , residing in a small house in Orange-court , Wapping , were in a state of the mo * t abject misery , and requesting the magistrates' humane interference to rescue them from absolute starvation . This letter was placed ia the hands of Sergeant Donnigan , to make necessary inquiry into the case , with directions that if its contents were true , to wait at once on the parish officers , and see that the necessities of the partita were at once attended to . On Friday , Donnigan made a

      statement to the bench of the result of bis inquiries , from which it appeared that on going t ! o the house he found the letwr to be perfectly true ; that the family had no supper on the preceding nipbt , and all thev had to eat on Saturday was a shilling ' s worth of bread between eight of them , and tbat bad been procured by pawning the elder daughter's only go * n . The officer ascertained that the family a few years since were in the enjoyment of every comfort ; that the husband was the owner and commander of one vessel , and the part owner- of several others , but that owing to the failure of a shipbuilder with whom he was connected , he wag in a few months reduced from comparative affluence to beggary . Being an

      excellent scholar , and having an intimate knowledge , both theoretically and practically , of navigation , he established a eehool in the neighbourhood of Gravellane , in the hope of being able to maintain his wife and family . Unfortunately for him this speculation failed , and his rent having accumulated to a large sum , ajji 8 tress was-put into his house by his landlord , and every particle of property which it contained was carried a-way to satisfy the demand . He then teok the small house in which at present he resided , with the intention of following bis previous

      occupation , but procuring only a few of scholars , and those the children of the poorer classes , seven or eight shillings a-week was the utmost he was enabled to make . The officer inquired why they did not apply for some parochial aid , rather than submit to the dreadful privations under which they were suffering , and their reply was , that they would rather lie down and starve than submit to the degradation of undergoing the ordeal at present required before relief waa given , or enter a parish workhouse . The officer described the bed-room of the

      family as a small miserable apartment , with two nooks divided from the floor by a hoard of about eight or ten inched high . In one of these , six of the children were obliged to lie on the bare boards without a shred of anything to cover them . In the other , the maa , hi * wife , and their infant child , about nix weeks old , slept on a piece of old ticking , without flock or feathers , and nothing to cuverthem but one old blanket . . Donnigan , in conclusion , said he had made application ob behalf of the family to Mr . Boeke , the i ^ lieving officer of the parish of St . George-in-the-East , who had lost no time in affording them all immediate and . necessary relief . Mr Rooke , who was present , said , that on visiting the the family on Saturday evening he gave all the relief

      tliey stood in need of , and should continue to do so until the parochial board met , when i |; should be hiu duty 16 report the case to them . : < Mr . Rook * also stated that he had sent noflie articles of bedding for the present use of the unfortunate family ; Mr . Gregory , of Spitalfields , who happened to be in th » office , on hearing the tale of misery of the poor people , was about to gV * e half a Sovereign for their use , but thinking that necessaries would be more beneficial , directed the officer to apply to him « m the following morning , and he would fend one cwt . of the best potatoes for the family ' s use ; and further , that he would continue to supply them with a Hufficiency of that most useful article until something could be done for them . — Weekly True Sun .
