      PARR ^ S LIFE PILLS . rp HE amazing Cures performed by this Medicine JL are truly astonishing . Instances are occurring daily of pewons who were almost at death ' s door being restored to sound and vigorous health . The following are selected from hundreds of a similar nature . Forwarded by Mr . Mottershead , Chemist , Market-place , Manchester . v : "To the Proprietora of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I feel it my duty , for the good of suffering mankind , to send you this true statement of the astonishing effoots which Parr's Life Pills have produced upon me , and also upon my wife and daughter . Myself and wife have both been strangers to good health for nearly twenty years , until we accidentally heard tell of your Pills , which we have taken for several weeks , and their effects upon us have been almost miraculous , both now feeling young , strong , and in health : my daughter , also , has found them equally , beneficial . . - " You may refer any one to me who at all doubts the truths of this , and you , may make any use you think proper of this testimonial . —I remain , in health , " Your obliged , grateful servant , "James Lescherin , " Grove-place , Ardwick i " near Man Ghesfcer . " " Witness— -John Whitwokth . ' ? " May 18 , 1841 . " Sir , —I am happy to add my evidence as to the efficacy of Parr ' s celebrated Pills , having been long ailing with a complication of disorders in the Head , Stomach , and Liver , and now , since taking two of your boxes of Pills , I am quite restored to a ' perfect state of health . You may make whatever use of this you please , only I think the good effects ought to be made public . 1 "I am , Sir , yours , obliged , "Chas . Edwd . Hardern . " " Oldham , April 30 , 1841 . " Sir , — -Mra . Sarah Stansfield , of Dale-street , Salford says , after taking two 2 s . Dd . boxes of . Parr ' s Life Pills , she has received more benefit from their use than from any medical advice or medicine she has been able to procure . She has been afflicted with Sick Head-ache and Bilious Complaints for a period of seven years , and has scarcely parsed a day auring that time without pain , until taking the above Pills , and now , is happy to say , she is quite recovering . ( Signed ) "Sarah Stansfield . "April 17 , 1841 . " 1 « ' Stalybridge , April 13 th , 1841 . " Sir , —My brother , William Carnson , No . 8 , Johnstreet , Butcher-gate , Carlisle , was cured of < 3 ravel by taking two boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills ; Betty Marey . of Staly bridge , has beencured of aHead-ache of many years 'standing , by taking three boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills , after spending many pounds with doctors ; John Taylor , a man who fell into the canal ; and . afterwards broke out in blotches all over his body , the doctors could do nothing for him ; a person that had tried the Pills advised him to get Borne ; he did , and is now perfectly restored , and many others I do not remember . lam much better myself for taking Parr ' s Pills . I wjji inform you more fully in a short time of moro cases . " I remain . ' dcar Sir , " Y . our' obedient servant , " J . Carnson . " To Mr . Motlershead , Manchester . " SECOND LETTER FROM MR . OSBORNE . " Gentlemen , —I write to inform you that I have returned on foot fronv Liverpool , and many of my Old friends here are indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity . I must also inform : you that my brother-in-law , Mr . W . J . Barres , of this town , has , through my wonderful restoration to life and sound healthj made use of Parr ' s Life Pills , and their effects on him have , if possible , been even more miraculous than on myself . He had suffered from a most distressing asthma , cough s &c , for above seven years , but , after using one box at 2 s > 9 d ., is quite a new being . The most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails , wfiich had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly , have been replaced by new and perfect oues . This has been considered "by many who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part ,- ' . I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parn I continue to enjoy the best of health and spirits , and am yours very respectfully , John Osbornb , " Late of her Majesty ' s 52 nd Regiment of Foot , discharged incurable by the Regimental Doctors . " " Hinckley , July 27 , 184 i ; Mr . Burgess , Bookseller , Hinckloy , will answbr inquiries . ANOTHER ACCOUNT FROM THE CITT OF LINCOLN . "To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Aug . 27 th , 1841 . " Gentlemen , —Were I to enumerate all the Cures and Benefits obtained by taking this famous remedy ( and are offered to me ) , it would require a book as large as a Church Biblo to write them in ! Not a day passes but some one comes to acknowledge the blessings of a cure—some one being made free in their limbs from pain and rheumatism , some cured of sick head-ache of long standing , some from violent bilious attacks , others cured of the ague , of swelled legs , and sore legs , for curing the palpitation of the heart , and , wonderful to relate ! old men and women say , since they took Old Parr ' s Pills , they have enjoyed better health , better spirits , better appetite , had more nerve and strength than they had experienced for the past twenty years , and that Old Parr is like new life to them , for they feel all those delightful changes in the system . In fact , these wonderful Pills appear to contain all the virtues of the ' pothecaries shop , without having to go through all the regular doses . of draughts and boluses . " My sale , instead of decreasing , increases . Since last August , when I received the first supply of Parr ' s Life Pills ( with the four gross you may now send me by first conveyance ) , I have had 2 , 076 boxes at Is . l £ d ., and 264 of the 2 s . 9 d . size . Some people may not believe this : you can , if you like , shew the entry , and the cash paid for them . " I am , your obedient servant , "James Daeay . " The old-established Patent Medicine Warehouse , 224 , Stone Bow , Lincoln . Since the . above letter was in print , Mr . Drury has forwarded particulars of a few of the persons cured and restored the week past . "The following cases have come to my knowledge : — " A Lady whose name I am not allowed to mention , informed me she' had received very great benefit from taking Old Parr ' s Pills , and she believes them to be very valuable as a Family Medicine for most disorders . "A Gentleman Farmer has also informed me he has been much benefitted by taking Old Parr ' s Pills , and . ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦" . ¦; ' .. - '¦'' ,- . ¦ . . - . .. - ¦ . ¦ .. ¦¦ ; ¦• ' ¦ : , "An Old Gentleman ( about 70 ) came to buy a box , on the recommendation of an Old Lady , who said they bad done her so much ffood , he had a mind to trythemalso . : ; i " Another Lady who was recommended to try them , a few weeks since , came to say she had only taken a few of the Pills , but she felt so much better she was certain Old Parr ' s Pills were excellent , and she had no doubt they would be generally used in every family . "A young Lady ( twenty years old ) had been subject , for a long time , to much pain in her chest , —it was so bad at times , she could neither sit still , eat , or drink , and the pain increasing to such a degree she was fit to sink under it . Old Parr ' s Pills were recommended : she took one small box of them , according to direcfioii , and they appeared to give some trifling ease ; they were , however , persevered in , and alarge box completed a radical cure , and she has found herself better in health ever since , •' These cases , with many more similar , I can speak to as being faithful .

      THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is agentle ' Stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the euro of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Sypbiltic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those whoVby early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral one 3 ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : r-such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the consequences of which travel but of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ; undermining domestio harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse ; The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinategleet 3 , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &o . As nothing can be better adapted to heV * , ad nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastiHgs , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the bands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficac v in all cases of syphilis j fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved b y its use . And even where the disease of StEB . JLiTy appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , ana remove the usual impediment to maternity . - This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial SsAiEjleat in the event of procreation occurring , the

      MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OR SYPHILITIC PISEASES , RHEUMATISM , AMD NERVOUS OB SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . M . WILKINSON , SURGEON , &o . ¦¦ 13 , Trafalgar ¦ Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , ¦¦' .. ; Bradford , HAVING" devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal Visit , will receive such advice and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine a-fter that period , and in those cases where other ¦ practititioners have failed , a perseverance in , his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent arid radical cure . Ifc frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature " of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding poison is . checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effect a pereeptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease , and leave the sjstem . free ; from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and . "treat- ' merit of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can Only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , arid have previously gone through'a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hiindreds who annually fail victims to the ignorant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by the circulation of thel > lood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers ^ closely resembling , and often treatedasscuvyy , at another period producing the m . osi violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings ; What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be Briatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance . \ : '" . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ .

      TO THE WORKING MEN OF SCOTLAND . Fxixow-Cocntrthex , —In my last letter , I endea-Toured to proTe to yon that the rejection of the National Petition was contrary to the principles of Chartism , and that the objections urged were not snfficiemly forcible to induce reasoning men to deny their Un ^ lish and Irish brethren an opportunity of expressing their grievances . The common argument that no extraoeoaa matter should be introduced in a petition praying for the People ' s Charter , appears to me Tery futile , after the lengthened statements made in the last petition concerning the Earl of C Jrdigan , Captain Tnciett , and many other persons , democratic as "well as aristocratic . I -would ask , -whether our grievances do not deserve a more honourable reward than the namss or conduct of blustering fools in the House of Lords or the House of Commons ?

      That part of the subject may be dismissed , and the Teal ground of objection brought prominently forward , and in doing so , I feel satisfied that , unless more powerful reasons remained unstated , the objectors sj « too acute snd sensible to be satisfied themselves with the weak position they have chosen . Jealousy and prejudice . are contemptible weapons amongst Chartists , and their aspirations -will not pass current for solid argument in Scotland . IV appears to me that the more serious objections may be disposed of under three heads . First objection , that a repeal of the Irish Union is mentioned . Second objection , that the English Poor Law is denounced . Third , that a repeal of the Corn Laws is not prayed for .

      I am satisfied from my knowledge of the men who object , and also from reports in the public press , that these three heads embrace ail the solid objections worth answering . These objectors , under the first head , act nnder the idea that because we introduce the" repeal question , it is playing a game between O'Connor and O'ConcelL To this I reply that the question of Repeal is-a matter for the Irish people to resolve upon , ami is a ample question between right and wrong not between TTIPT ^ If a majority of the Irish people decide npen Kepeal ; ( and that is ail we say or mean in the petition ) , then they ought to have it , aad I shall go with the Irish people , whether O Connfcll is against them , or O'Connor for them . It is not for Scotland but for Ireland io urge it as an objection that ths Repeal question is introduced in the National Petition .

      Ireland approve * and Scotland objects , not that Repeal should also extend to Scotland , but that Repeal is mentioned at all for Ireland , where the Union presses injuriously , and consequently where separation would benefit the complainers . I repeat again , it is a ques tion Ireland alone has to decide upon , and , as far as I can judge of men , O'Connor means te have Repeal for Ireland , if Ireland wants it ; and O'Connell means to speculate on the credulity and contributions of a warmhearted , lor g-connding , and much-abused people .. I may a ! so state once mere , that believing "what I have stated of O'Connel ; to be true , the best service we can do Ireland is to force Din to give her a real boon , or prove himself to be a mere adventurer in politics , and Tarnish-manufacturer for poor old Ireland .

      Ltt : t be procliiraed in Ireland that Scotland and England reject her claims for Repeal , and O'Concell ' s tand 3 are instantly strengthened by your refusal , and his words verified that the " Sassenachs" refuse justice to Ireland . You , my friends , can then imagine the heart-burnings which would arise—the divisions which -would ensue—the weakness we would exhibit ; and your common enemies would once more act upon the old maxim of the aristocracy , " Divide and conquer . " Daniel O'Connell declares that we do not sympathise ¦ with Ireland . Let us prove it to be false , by compelling Dan on the other hand either to elevate or desert his colours in the cause of Ireland and justice . We need Ireland ' s help , we solicit it ; then let us induce Ireland to co-operate with us by satisfying her that her grievances are to be recorded with ours , and her emancipation sealed on that day when Great Britain Rfr * n inscribe amonpt her statutes the People ' s Charter .

      The second objection arises from a deep-seated con-Tiction in the minds of many Scotchmen , that the principle of the Poor Law Amendment Bill is good , and that conviction springs from a belief in the doctrines of Malthcs . The heart of the objection lies in the body of Malthus . I can make considerable allowance for such a belief Existing in Scotland , custom and education have contributed to make the Scottish people averse to parish relief , and to consider such aid , evtn in cases of emtrsencgr , to be a disgrace to a labourer's family . The English people on the other hand hare custom and education en the opposite side of the question , and ever sines the reign of Queen Elisabeth the laws have commanded in-door relief to the aged and infirm , and to those for whom no work could be found .

      Both nations hare a distinct right to relief during sickness , protection during age , snd food when out of work ; and the fund from which relief should come ouJat not to be from casual charity , poor-rates , or soup-kitchens , but from the church lands ; and , if their revenues are not sufficient , from all kinds of . property . The church lands in Scotland were divided amongst the aristocracy at the Revolution , and the clergymen ef the church inculcated it as a religious duty that every man should endeavour to save out of bis earnings a sum suitable to support him and his family , and that he should calculate for every possible emergency The Scottish people , therefore , to serve the aristocratic holders of tka lands of the old abbeys and monasteries

      ( the produce ef which the poor formerly consumed ) did as they were taught , and to the present day conceive that they are performing a moral and sacred duty by living upon indiffia-ent food , wearing insufficient clothing , and renouncing as disgraceful that aid which , if ever relief was sacred , their ' s must be , because It originally was a church right , for the benefit of the p * oi , to cold land in the country . I do not blame my countrymen as much as I lament the injurious results upon Scotland , and my heart bleeds when I see a poor , industrious , and worthy man , conscientiously fasting for the benefit of tbe landowners , and stinting himself , and his children of food and clothing , that he may save them from a just tax , and the performance of their duties to the poor .

      My fellow countrymen , pause before you condemn Englishmen , and in their name I will not accuse you of fallowing the habits of your fathers , founded , in this rtspect at least , upon mistaken , and to themselves unjust grounds . The English Church lands , at the revolution , were not all transferred to the landlords as yours were . A lsrge proportion was transferred to tho Reformed Establishment , whose income is even now about nine millions a year . Queen Elizifeeth and her councillors made a law by which the people , instead of having reiief at the old abbeys , should have a composition granted to them as part payment , and that was recorded in the 43 rd Act of her reign , wherein work or wages were to be found for the able-bodied , and indoor , or cottage relief for the aged , 'the sick , and infirm .

      Remember , this wa 3 only part of their rights , as the aristocracy , and particularly Lord John Russell " s family , had many slices out of the Church lands , thereby diminisliin ? the fund-To this legal and just relief the English peop ' e have been accustomed for centuries , and you cannot demand them to give up their rights . Nor can any maa condemn mea in demanding them unless he is prepared to approve of the aristocracy retaining the land of the poor , and will defraud the present appropriation of the church ineome . If you have such men amongst the Ciiartist ranks who are ready to pursue that line of argument amongst -working men , I am satisfied few just men in Scotland will fallow them 5 and to make it impossible for any to do so , I will now inform you what the Ntw Poor L % w has dose .

      Tne poor rates in England are levied principally for the middle and working cla « es ; and to make them as odious as possible , one class of officers after another , endisg with the new police , have been and are paid out ef the poar-rates . This created dissatisfaction , and the Government instead of falling back upon the old remedy , viz ., the church lands , ancient and modern , fell upon the poor , and began by refusing all in-door relief to the aged and infirm , ( except in a Union Bastile ) , and no relief to

      the able-bodied who eonm find no work , and consequently were starring . The New Poor L 3 W made the Unien Workhouse as abominable as a prissn for the purpose of forcing ths working classes to adopt your system , or of working for any wages they conVl get , rather than enter a poor man's prison , where his diet , dress , and his treatment were those of a felon , and where , to carry out Malthus ' s notions , he was to be separated from his wife , and his wife from his children . I will not enlarge upon the cruelties of the system , as I wish only to reason with you .

      You will now perceive thtt the 43 rd of Elizabeth was passed , as your system was adopted , to benefit the holders of national and church lands- The New Poor l * w BUI was passed to benefit or remove the burdens of the rate-payers or middle class ; therefore , in both easts , ha 3 the labourer been deprived of his rights , and in both has he been sacrificed to the interests of other classes . I have given yon a rapid historical -view of the question , and traced the effects , as exhibited in tha custom of both nations . You want no relief because you have been taught to consider the landlord * robbery of your poor lands as feeing jurt , aad because your ancestors were deluded into the idea that the lands of the old abbeys were perversions and trappings of idolatry , which no true Christian ought to defile his hands or home with .

      ^ The English people demand relief , not only on Christian grounds , but on others equally reasonable and just and they leave you to defend your aristocracy , whilst they oppose theirs and their churchmen besides . The English people go much deeper into the question than you dor for whilst you conceive it to be morally right to taro out « f-7 oar present wages , they conceive both their earnings-, and yours to be inadequate for the purpose , aad rteelinp admitting the principle you act upon until they have not only a fair wage for their labour , bnfc al » a landed provisos for the poor who may be in tie land .

      If your national burdens were removed , and your wages doubled , then , your Baring clause might be introduced ; but whilst the burdens have been increased and wages lessened , they think it an additional wrong that their legal pro-mien should also be taken away when they have become poor by causes over which they art not permitted io have any conirouL You say it is morally wrong to ask or receive relief and yon would be right if you had justice done to you and a political power always to enforce it ; and apply your rule only to the able bodied who refuse to work .

      The English people instead of supposing that they are morally wrong to marry and have a family , conceive it to be morally right , and the wrong to be at the door of those who have created a system of oppression under which a labourer cannot earn enough to support the largest family he could have . The English people also conceive that it is morally wrong to support or submit to- oppression in any form ; and , placing the cause of poverty , and starvsttisn , and Poor Laws at the proper door , they demand an efficient and enduring remedy in the Suffraf e . You perceive by this time that habit and education have , in a great measure , produced your separate systems , and whilst I lament an evil habit , I ask without fear of contradiction , which customs have justice on their side , the English with the poor , or the Scotch without them .

      I am , my fellow-countrymen , satisfied that you will reason upon this letter and arrive at a proper conclusion , and whilst I leave the objectors of the National Petition as defenders of aristocratic robbery and pious fraud , I shall conclude by reminding you that our Convention acted upon an extraordinary rule of legislation in rejecting one petition before they had drawn up a better . Yours , sincerely , In the cause of justice , P . M . M'Dorall . Wisbeach , Cambridge .

Bairstow delivered a long , argumentative , and eloquent lecture in the Association Room , Preston-Btreet , to a crowded and highly enthusiastic audience . Peddie the Victim . —The following extract from a letter received from Mrs . Peddie , by a friend , shews that the situation of this unfortunate man is still little better : — " He has no prospect of being relieved of any portion of the term of his sentence , but wishes much that he might by any means be removed to York Castle : To give you some idea of the horrors of a winter ' s evening spent in Beverley House of Correction , I shall make the following extract from his letter : —

      '" I expressed a wish to the inspector who lately visited me , that I might be favoured with a fire in my cell during the dead of whiter , where I am locked up at six o ' clock at night , without fire or light Sleepless nights are one of the consequences of my complaint j indeed it is generally in the night that I suffer most acutely . The window of my cell fronts the east , the iron frame of which either from its nature , or clumsy construction , does not fit the wall closely , so that it admits the air very freely ; it is moreover placed

      immediately at the foot of the bed . In a direct line with it , at the top of the bed , is a large hole in the wall , above a foot square , meant as a ventilation I presume , but which acting upon the window , keeps up during the night a constant draught or current of air upon the face of the sleeper , which , during the late strong east winds became bo powerful as on some occasions to move the bed clothes above me ; aod I have not once , but often , found tracts or small books left by ine upen my bedstead at night , strewed over the floor in the morning by the strength of the breeze . '

      "In addition to this sorry accommodation , my husband has suffered so much from the dietary system of the place on his stomach , that he has been frequently under the necessity of starving himself for a few days to get rid of it After much petitioning he has been allowed the great' ^ oon of one herring two days in the week . He has also been allowed an additional blanket , for which he is thankful , and which be considers a real blessing . The only hope in which it appears his friends can serve him is , if possible to get him removed to York Castle . "

      Extensive Conflagration in Belfast—We regret to announce the complete destruction by fire of Mr . Duffield's extensive provision stores in James's-street . The fire broke out last ( Thursday ) night , between ten and eleven o ' clock , and at the time we went to press , presented a most alarming aspect , the whole range fronting the street being one mass of flame . Tke fire seems to have commenced in the rear part of the store , and quickly extended over the whole of this extensive and valuable building , notwithstanding the exertions of

      the different fire-engines , which were speedily brought to the spot . That part of the buildings facing James ' s-street , is about 150 feet in length , and three stories in height ; and , when in full blaze , presented an appearance much resembling , though on a somewhat smaller scale , the dreadful fire in the Tower of London . Notwithstanding the torrents of rain which poured down during the whole time thousands of spectators were coll .-cted on the spot , watching with anxiety and wonder the progress of the alarming scsne . We were informed that the store was full of hams and

      other provisions ; but as to the pecuniary extent of the devastation we have no means of knowing at present . We have not learned whether the property was insured . The manner in which the officers and men of the 29 th . Regiment exerted themselves was beyond the highest praise which we could bestow , and the police force , ably directed by Mr . Coulaon , deserve similar praise . So much of the property as could be removed from the premises was carried out and thrown into the street , acd the greatest precaution used to prevent any of it being carried off . — Belfast News Letter .
