      Perhaps an hnmMe innividual like the on « who writes this Address will be thought presumptuous in laying it before the inhubilautu of this great empire , but as he has uo interest of his own to serve , and he has some years at ; o made a discovery which , though very simple ; is very us-ful for th « health of man , and . therefore , tne moot conducive to his happiness : among the ducovtmes iu medicine , he believes it to be tha grt-atest , perhaps it can truly be said to be the greatest that ever was made , of any description , aud there are a tra . it mauy by which rnom-y may be got , yet they are nothing without health , as tha " i gives the true eojoymantof life . With a modernte use of this cheap and almost universal remedy , * ickne ? s s , sores , and lameness of varioua descriptions are cured , as I have proved iu iuDumerabfe

      in-• tances , not only npoa myselt but upop . iny friends , neighbours , sprvants , and workmen , of which , if I were to give the t ' etail , ' no periodical publication could inawt it .

      character , by thu saj » p . omtu > tt that all complaint * , of whatever descripftin , iiaie tboir commencement i ftiid are continued by ie , fl * tbcmitiorjV "gntrrat which it is the most poweriul antliole , which , I believe , is at uroseat knt >* n . In the reduction of inflammation of fractured limbs , 1 beltev > this remedy would be of grunt advantage , and tor incurable sores , in bur hospital-, where there are great number . - * of miserable brings who drag on existence through sleepWs * nights from one day to another , this remedy would bo of great relief to them ; though it might not cure the sore , it wmjU so lar relieve it ( 1 write from facts not opinions ) as to enable them to » 1 ep a ; nights , and , after a fortnight ' s application , enable them to leave the hospital and resume their work . 1 have not the least doubt but of those who

      have long been confined and uuder treatment for sores of this description , ona half of tbe beds would be at liberty in a month :, though thin would be the result , I am afraid that medical gentlemen will be plow to adopt this remedy , as it is not ushered into the world m th « name of some eminent man of jjreat science ; but they ought to recollect that many useful discoveries Lave boen made by men of Com * pWfttively little learning , and science has contributed nothiDg to this discovery ; it has all been doce by the situation in which 1 was plnced , which has also enabled me to get to know many of its good properties , as it ig generally ., used by my numerous servants and workpeople . If this address falls into the hands of any person

      who wishes to do good te his fellow men , and he from situation can spread the knowledge of it in those countries where inflammatory complaints are prevalent , such as the plagua in Turkey , the black and yellow fever in the West Indiej . Sierra Leone , and other parts of Africa , the cholera ia tae East Indies , with all the bite * and stings from noxious animals and reptiles , he will confer benefits which will be lasting on the countries is which they may be propagated , for it has only to be known aud applied , and there is no danger of its ever being iorgotten ; and I beg of all utich that they woulc have the goodness to cause the diffusion of the knowledge of it to be a * free as this communication of its discovery . ' .

      Though I can attest from actual knowledge of facte which are stated in this paper , that it has cur ^ d all these complaints of which 1 have given the cases , yet there are a many persons who think it impossible , and facto are nothing against such perrons ' opinions . In a neighbouring town there were three families , the children of which were afflicted with ring-worms upon their heads , to whom it was recommended ; two of the ladies used it , by washing the crowns of the heads of their children , and they were soon cured ; indeed , the effects would be fell upon the first application ; the other lady would not use it , and the children suffered for a long time after . A lady of my acquaintance was attacked with a complaint , which at the commencement would kave been easily cur ^ d , but when the use of it was urged upon her , snid she would not be cured with that remedy , and as she ia now dead she has not bee cured with any other .

      Thosr to whom it does no Good . —There is a large class in society to whom it does no good—they are those who will not use it ; trat I hav « no doubt that they are doily diminisuiBg in number , for after auy ono h * s applied it to any complaint , the benefits are so manifest , that it would be to suppose them not endowed with common sense not to apply it again in cue of need ; it only requires very little reflec-

A l » 3 y to whom it was recommended said— "I have no faith in it , for you say that it cures so many complaints ; if you (" aidit cured only one , I could use it for that ; but as yon say there aresoroany , I will not use it for any ; " this may be wisdom ; b * t as I have knows it enre the head , ear , and tooth ache , inflammation in the eye * , ague , cholic , pains in tha side , chilblains , burns and scalds , cancer . " , find several other * , and soras of them scores of times , I should be wanting in my duty if I did not recommend it for thpm . Cancers . —It has been applied in six cases of cancer , five of -which , it has cored , nnd that , without vain ; even the first application did not givn pain , but relief ; three of these were very severe , ano had been of long continuance : the other two were at the commencement , and to the sixth it was applied but once , -which broujrht on r er « at bleeding , which , I believe , was necessary , aa he was much better after

      it ; but it alarmed his friends , they called in his medical advisers ( he being a wealthy man , he had the best the place - could afford ) , they were much offended by its application and said they wou ' . d not come again if he . continued to use it , he theref ore promised he would not ns-it ngnta , and I behe kept his promwe , ad hw died in less than twelve months after ; and , judging from the others , I have no doubt but he would have been cured if he had not been prevented from applying ic .

      Open Sores . —Soon after my return i ' rom England to La Ferte Imbaalt , in France , in July last , I was informed that one of my cottager * had not been working for two months , from illness . When I saw hi ™ , he caid h ^ had got bled the beginning of May , and thathis arm hfid inflamed . On application to the doctor , be was told that he must poultice Ms arm ; he did so , but at the endoftha first month it had bei « orao a fri ^ htfal sore . Upon application to hi * doctor , ht « said he must continue to ponkice it ; he did so . but his ana cmtinned to get iror « e , and in con *> quence ef want of slnep , an was reduce .: almost to a skeleton . I told him to » end to the Castle far some of the remedy , and throw his arm poultices intv . the fire , if he did not wish to loose his arm . He . npplied the rfltnedy that afternoon , and I saw him two days alter;—he was totall y changed in appearauce ; he said he had slept well both nights , and he was enabled to resume his work ten days after . J

      Another man , noon after , had the misfortune to have one of his hands severely bruised by a cart , and a part of one of his fingers takon off . Such reme'hea * er « implied aa were in general bjjoin th « country , « . ad I did not see Vim for * om « time after rii-i accident . When I first save him I thought mortification hadb » K"n . The first spolirati'in caused great pain , whicii continued for about half an hour , but furtker applications were not so painful , the hand got better each day , and he is now cared of that which would havo cost him bis life . The bone to the joint » f the finger came awuy , and it is cured also .

      One of my gamekeepers had th * misfortune to have his face much burnt by the blowing up of a qnantity of gunpowder : he could only see with one eye , and that rery little . The remedy was applied in the first half hour after the accident , anrl , though it gave great pain in the commencement , he had the courage to continue it ; the result was that after five or six applications , it gave him no pair , nnd he was cured in 15 or 20 days , and his sight , which had been weak for many years , id now better than it

      ever was . From the foregoing cases , which have all occurred sine * my visit to Leeds last year , 1 think that it is the dr . ty of . ill Gemiemen who have the cara of Hospitals , < fec . to make use of this remedy , and I have no doubt it they condescend to use it , " a great many will be cured , aad tho beds set at liberty , and instead of the patients being a dead weight upon the commuuiry , they will be able to get theirlivinps and . support their families , though they are now dragging on a lif » of misery ; and those who are afflicted with sores which cannot be cured , may be so far r « liev « d as to b' 3 able to get their livings nlio in comparative comfort , which may be exemplified hv

      the cases of two men m the village near my hou ^ e in France , who are afflicted with incnrable sores upon their legs . Before they used this remedy their lives were trul y lives of misery , but now they have very little pain and they are able to work , and in in case of n « ce * sity , they can wnlk two miles to their work . The leg of one of these men , is littlo more than the bone and sinews . The manner of applying it will easily occur to those Gentlemen who are accostonvsd to such things . If one Gentleman in each Hospital would adopt it , I have no doubt but in i % short time it would become th ? practice of all ; the effects would then be so decisive and cheering , —it soon remove * all sitfasts and other impurities from the sores .

      The experience of last year has fnrni « h « d a case which appears the most surprising of all , it is that of a young man , the only son of bis mother and she is a widow . He appeared in the bfginning of lnjif July to belaying upon his death bed ; hi * complaint a consumption ; he was only able to be removed to have his bed made ; the application of the renWy appeart-d to be too late , however , it was made , " nnd the manner and results nre as follow : — First , the crown of his h < ad was well washed with thtv remedy , after which , and irrimediatd y , he took two table spoonfuls diluted with hot water , and a piece ot soft linen was steeped in tho remed y , and when doubled into several thicknesses , was laid upon his breas % iu order , if possible , to allav the dreadful

      cough which was very distressing , and rameonin paroxysms , tho phlegm hard and yellow . He was told to take two table spoonfuls everymorning before he broke his fast , diluted with hot water , which he dU . I inquired every day if there was any alteration , but for six or eight daye the answer was no , and I gav . > . him ud when hrt stat ; d that tbero was no alteration . 3 e Baid that he coughed nlwny * , and the phlegm had become white and frothy , which continued the same for some weeks ; but * in about six d » ys after the first change , he said that he had got such an appetite he could cat anything ; he began then to gum strengtk , and sat up , and went to visit his neighbours . Soon after , a great pain began in bis leftside , with much inflammation , but upon eppplication of the linen steeped in the remedy , the pain was removed , and in a weak it burst , when hi » cough entirel

      cea * ed y , and though the discharge was great , he continued to gain a little strength—his appetite goo <} , and he continued to take the remedy as before . A clever medical man , who happened to > ein the villagfc about this time , said he would get better , which was the general opinion in the ullage , if he could pass the winter , which ho did , and he was living when I left La Ferte Imba-jlc ; but 1 am afraid that the a twees * in hi 9 side will b « too much for him , as . it wan then open , and the discharge was considerable before thin wag formed . I considered him cured , and I ceased to call upon him ; but I have not the least doubt if he hftd began to use the remedy in the early stage of his complaint that he would have been cured . Now , I put it to the medical gentlemen who attend upon such cases-, and the friends of such as are in consumptions , if it would not be well to follow the same treatment ?

      As I have a great desire that a knowledge of this remedy , and its effects should penetrate , into those regions where mflmmmatory complaints are prevalent , I have mada and forwarded this address , m order that the benefits arising from it may be known ; and to those who are residing in or bordering upon the Turkish Empire or Egypt , I oeg of them tobava it propagated , free of expense , in those countries , as I have not the least doubt that it woulJ care the plague and most other inflammatory complaints , if applied in its early stages . Not having seen the plague , I can give no certain rules for its sst » , bit it is always best to begin with washing the crown of the head , and if the throat or month are sore , gargling the throat and washing the mouth , as well aa filling the ears one after the

      other , and letting it . remain for fifteen or twenty minutes in each ear . The patient ought to drink two table spoonfuls , diluted with hot water , ever ? two or three hours , or even o / tentr , as the case , may require , and also the parts discoloured or inflamed should be fomented with it . For those countries where inflammatory fevers and cholera arejrevalent , the same method of treatment will do . Sore throats and inflammation in the brain are often the accompaniments of such disorders , and the administration of the remedy should be prompt and incessant in all possible ways , and if Professional Geatlemen are not at hand , no one ought to be afraid of administering it , as they may be sure it will do no harm .

      Missionaries ought to get a knowled ge of it . I havo not the least doubt that if all missionaries had a good knowledge of it , and applied it , without divulginjf its component parts , and the manner in which it is made , it would enable them to make a great many conversions , and with greater tacility It is so very prompt in its operations , as to have the ' appearance of a minicle , particularly in acute complaints , Bucb . as iniiamin&uoa either in the brain or

      NEW BAILEY , MANCHESTER . On Saturday Ja * t , Mr . Feargus O'Connor appeared at the New Bailey , to tender himself u bail for all those persons , whom it will be recolleetei were some weeks since committed to Kirkdale , f « r want of bail , upon the evidence of a ruffian of the uarae of Higginson . John Maude , Esq ., wa * the sitting Magistrate . Mr . O'Connor said that he was ready to give bail for the appearance of the prisoners ; but , previously to doing so , he had a double application t » make to the Court . Firstly—That the amount of hail should be reduced ; and , secondly—That the informations , returned to the assizes , should be

      quashed ; and that fresh informations should be returned to the sessions next to be hotden within the county . As to-the amount of bail , he col tended that it was a » impolitic as it was unjust . That tba object of bail was to insure the appearance of tbe parties charged ; and the effect of excessive baH , was to force persons in a lower cla *« of life to loot to those in tbe class above them for such an assurance t « tbe Magistrates . He contended that tkt nature ot" society was such as to rtnder it imporisiMs for those in the middle cla . »« e * to know or to reboot the character of the low ** orders ; and , therefore , it was driving the poor to look to a so . irce fro * which they could expect no relief , as their conviction was a triumph . To those wilh vrhom the prisoners associated alone could their characters fe *

      known ; and , therefore , to men of their own rtyafc should they look for security .- but how-could that Ik done , when tbe act of the Magistrates put it outeC any poor man ' s power to comply with the require ! conditions . It was , therefore , unjust to the pev Konen ? , unjust to society , and unjust to Me . O'Connor himself ; for had he been a person w 4 * feared prejudice , or shrunk from scorn , he wotM not offer himself as bail ; but inasmuch as fat . laughed all prejudice to scorn , he was there te bete testimony of the value which , from representatkre , ha attached to the chancters of those poor fellow * who were convicted under testimony which , had k ^ Mr . O'Connor , been present , he would have shown * saould have placed the prosecutor , instead- of is * victims , in the dock .

      Mr . Maude— , with that , Mr . O'Consor , we have now nothing to do . Mr . O ' Connor—No , uot now . However , C am showing matter with which you have to do . Tiu statute under which those men are charged is c penal statute , and should be oanstrued liberally ; whereas the Magistrates hate subjected the prisoner already , by the large amount of-bail required , t « * heavier punit . hraent ihan a judge , after convifctioo , would instantly subject them to ^ to this point iat would come when he disposed of the question < & bail . Nothing was more necessary than that tit practice of Magistrates should be as ( Uniform m po ^ ible ; but see the difference between the

      practice of the Barnsley ana the Manchester Benok . On Wednesday last , four men , three of them at t 4 * middle rank , and one more than ordinaril y coafortable of the working class , were convicted Wffor * the B * rnsley Magistrates , for drilling and training wht : n , upon the middle class gentlemen , the Magictratea laid a rule of £ 200 bail , and upon a comfortable working man only £ 40 ; while tfc * Manchester Magistrates had required £ t& for working men . "Where could they procure it ? These families „ might have starved , and they migfc have rotted in prison , had not he ( Mr . O'Conuori come lcrward to do that which ought to be plaoaif within the power of their own order to do for thtw .

      Now as to returning the informations to the assirt * , the act makes it discretionary with the beadi , either to return them to the assizes or to the sesskatf nexc to ba holden within the county . The punvefcment is transportation * of the principal or imprissament , and not " more than two years invprisonmoct for the milder offence of being drilled or trainoA Since tbe men were committed , a session had bats held at the New Bailey ; and previously to tix ass ; 2 es , sessions were to be bolden at Preston on < f « first , Lancaster on the tbird , and again ac the Now Bailey on the eighth , at any of which the prisoaem might have been efficiently tried , so that ihe Mag » - trates , first by violating the law , acd secondly 4 v

      violating the liberal construction of the statute , hnf actually subjected the prisoner to a heavier pusicsiL' ment than tbe offence merited . It' such practiett were persevered in , would the people respect the la *? No—for suppose this charge had bt « u brought after the summer assize * , and the same amount of bti £ was required , and the informations returned to & »• next assizes , the parties , without trial , would suSfa : seven months of a Winter ' s coufinement , who may ^ ie completely innocent . , The Barnslty Magistrateg in compliance with the spirit of tbe act , returned tbt informations to the Kotherham sessions ; this wtwur compliance with the constitution which s » ys , tktt justice shall not he delayed . He ( Mr . O'ConmaJ would go bail for them all , because he was cosscious of their innocence , and bad beard the bett

      characters of them , that poor men could enjoy . HSn did not offer such a sacrifice to give them an op | Mrtonity of evading justice , for he would not be « . party , if five shillings * were the amount , to suofc * . trick , but he would take care that they shoui 4 hso « the best defence \ hat the law admitted , and that fee want of hi 8 assistance they should not suffer Mrmerited punishmrnk If the men were acquitted * < £ which he had no doubt , the Magistrates would hew dealt unjustly , by having subjected them to unrocessary incarceratioa , and the Magistrate rewc recollect that already a great portion ef the puniA . ment which would be awarded to guilt bad noes suffered , he therefore trusted that Magistrate would reconsider and rescind their former judgment by reducing the bail , and sending the case to <§*

      sessions . : . Mr . M-A-UDB said , that from the commeno © . ment , he was anxious that the bail should be moderate , in consequence « f all the kds having swtk characters , and being in employment , that the wfcfe bench having named the bail , he c « uld not tafcs upon himgelf to alter it , but that he would cemm * . nicatft the applica ^ on and argumen ts of Mz , O'Connor to hi # brother Magistrates , with wb < m he had no doubt they would have due weigh . He was not * aware of the jurisdk&K which the act gave to the Magistrates of sending the case to the sessions , but ka could not agree with Mr . O'Connor ' * liberal «**>
