SIR , —! feel desirous of expressing to you the great benefit which I have received from the use of Blair ' s Goat and Rheumatic PillB . I have for several years been afflicted with Rheumatism and Gout , the attacks of which were excessively severe . Daring one of these painful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair ' s Pills , from the use of which I found immediate relief and very soon entirely recovered . At a subsequent period I was so severely attacked that he thought it would be unwise

      LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS . " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . rcp entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at IX your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flatteringintelHgenco of the groat good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It ia clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public health . The [ fact is , however , predjudioe is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate ! what I have asserted .

      THE LATE DREADFUL HURRICAKE . TOTAL LOSS OF THE SHIP EJ * GLArTO . To the already frightful catalogue of -wrecks v , jxaTe to add thfe total loss of another flna ship , the England , < 3 aptain Thomas Lewis , beloogSig to London i Trtudi foundered two d » y » after &e hurricane in sweaty-eight feet of water , about nine milsa off Oatend . The Intelligence "was brought "by Captain Lewis , ¦ who with the ehief mate , Mr . Clarke , and the ship * cook , arrived off the Gnatem-haas * , at eleven o ' clock on Thursday night by tha Belgian steamer .

      The jEnzlasd was of 425 tons burden , and belonged Jo Messrs . Ward and Son , sbipoiraera at ShadwelJ . She ¦ wasnotinsnred . Bercrew , besides Captain Lewis , consisted of first and second mates , carpenter and carpenter's mate , and sixteen seameE . On the seventh inst , aha left the nvenShames for the coast of Africa with about 200 tons of ballast , and arrived sate in the Itowns on the foUowing Thursday . They proceeded on the passage the -same evening having fair weather , the windblotdsg s-Sne bree » from the east However , at about one o ' clock on Friday morning , when the ship had

      arrived between Fsirleysnd Be * cbey Head , it commenced blowing a heavy gale , which increased to one of theaeyerest hurricanes ever experienced by-the oldest W 1 ui on board . Capt . iewis , upon the storm advancing , bad the ship secured ss snugly as possible ; all sail was shortened , -and every aan -was upon deck ready in ease © f emergency . At about two o ' clock the appearance of the weather was twfol ; haD , snow , and rain descended in torrents , the sea appeared like a boiling sfat , the waves rising a terrific height , -and making a dear breach over the vessel . Most « f the crew had

      lashed themselves to different parts of the vessel Daring the morning the ship laboured very hard , and by ber continually pitching shifted her cargo of bal . ast ; so much so , that by daybreak she was complete }; upon her beam ends , and making » considerable quantity of water . The crew made signals of distress , bat no -vessel made its appearance Coring that and the following day ; ~ but at seven o ' clock on Sunday morning a Dutch pilot-boat hove in sight . In thermeanwhile the Tesselhad "become worse , tke crew suffering from cold and exhaustion . During Friday they made several attempts to woik at the pumps ; but the storm still continuing with unabated violence , although several ¦ were lashed to the bandies , they were unable to keep a footing . Friday Light and Saturday passed without any further success , and they remained lashed to the rigging until late on Sitorday night when tho weather became somewhat fine , which enabled them to free themselves from the quarters where they had been

      lied nearly forty-eight hours . Such was the situation of the ship thTt , that it waa impossible to work at the pumps , or even to launch the longboat ; she lay on thewatei with her gunwales completely under , and her destruction waa expected by all At daybreak the following morning ( Sunday ) Captain lewis and the chief officers determined upon cutting away the mainmast , in the ' hope of throwing the vessel store in an upright position , and in order to construct a raft . - In a few minutes after the order bad been given the mart fell overboard , but It had little effect upon the ship . She lay with the bottom of hex keel partially out of the water , and the" gunwale some feet under . There was then upwards of ten feet of water in the told , which was fast approaching the deck . Just as they commenced constructing the xaf t the pilot-boat , to their great delight , hove down towards them , and succeeded in reaching the England , asd . taking them safely off the wreck .

      The Dutch pUot-boat , at the desire of Captain Lewis , remained alongside of the ship until she sank , which took place in about two houra afterwards , about three leagues from the shore . The crew , upon their arrival at Flushing , were most Jdndly bested by the authorities , who aSbrded them every comfort and assistance they could wish . The British Consul At Flushing then forwarded them to Botterdaat , which place they left for London .

      superintendent placed Jiimself in immediate communication with Mr . Williams , the manager of the works at that place . About three p . Bt . information was received that about 2 , 000 workmen , were pro-, reading from Quakers ' -yard to Aberdare . The superintendent accordingly : concentrated bis force in the neighbourhood of the works , with a view of ebserving their movements , and , if necessary , to descend upon them , it being arranged that Mr . "WlUiams should try his endeavours , if required , before any appearance of the constabulary took place near the works , and , if required , to forward information to the superintendent . About 4 pan . near 1000 in number appeared in sight , composed chiefly . of Monmouthshire colliers . It was evident that they had

      received information of the arrival vt the police , for they acted with extreme caution ; they did not attempt to approach Bear fits works , bat halted in a field -adjoining , first obtaining the liberty of the owner . The leader began to speak , and impressed upon the rabble to be orderly , and not lay themselves open to the law , for he was informed the police were at hand . They did not ask to see the agent or hold oat any intimidation , the colliers being at work in the levels , and appearing determined to remain at work . About 6 o'clock Mr . Williams called them np , when they did not join the mob , bnt retired apparently to their respective homes . The mob , no doubt alarmed , and finding they were frustrated in their object , dispersed in all directions . Upon their dispersion , Mr . Superintendent Davies stationed officers in different parts of the works , with a view to

      prevent the committal of damage to the machinery , pits , 4 c , during the night . The public-houses , beer-houses , and lodging-houses were searched ; all strangers and stragglers from the mob were warned to depart , and told that if found begging they would be immediately apprehended . This had the desired effect , for they all , with a few exceptions , being housed by the workmen , left during the night . No intimidation or threats were used towards the colliers -composing this colliery . On the following morning the manager was at his post to receive the workmen . Several came in their clean clothes , and refused to continue their work , assigning no reason . Superintendent Davies immediately proceeded to the works , and caused the requisite arrangements to be effected for the protection of property . Another meeting -was held on the 18 th inst . by the colliers between Pontaberbareoed and Blackwood . —Merthyr Guardian .

      Xoss of the LniY of Lttebpool . —We regret to sate that'this , splendid vessel , insured by the underwriter ' s at Lloyd ' s to the extent of j £ 20 , 000 , the property of Mr . Maxwell , of Liverpool , was totally lost during the tremendous Hurricane on Friday week last , together with the Little Test of

      Southampton , and another ( name unknown ) , upon the Tannton Sands , situate about two miles and a half to die north of tho North Lighthouse , in the Bristol Channel . The ship was registered at About 600 tons burden . She had a general cargo on board , consisting of cotton and silk goods , boxes of copper ore , gunpowder , muskets , sabres , swords , pieces of ordnance , &cj , and at the period of the unfortunate catastrope was upon her passage to Old Calabar , on the coast of Africa . About two hours after she struck , a vessel called the Appledore , Mr . Williams , master , came alongside , and , by mean ? of his boat , took the crew off in safety . They were afterwards conveyed to the lighthouse , where every gcomfort and kindness was shown to

      them . We regret to add that some time before the Tessel came ashore , a portion of the Icrew had forcibly broken * into the store-room , and drank to such excess of spirits , that some were lying- about the deck in a shocking state of madness , and would have perished butjfor the humanity of their messmates , who secured them to the rieging'to prevent the sea washing them overboard ; and there they remained until assistance arrived alongside of the wreck . The crew consisted of twenty-three men , besides Captain Townes , the commander , and first and second mates . Immediately before the wreck being observed by the Coast Goaid , a strong body

      of men were stationed along the coast to protect any part of the cargo that should be washed ashore . Towards morning , as the tide rose , the breakers threw the ship higher upon the Bands , where slie sooa broke in half , and her cargo floated out , and was washed upon the beach . As night advanced a hand of desperate wreckers made their appearance and commenced plundering the cargo to a great extent . Several were fir § d at by the Coast Guard without any seriou 3 result , but they still continued their depredations with the utmost impunity . Since then several of the principal offenders have been apprehended and committed for trial .

      IBELAND . 2 ? A 2 I 3 , ' 3 as . 17- —Last Friday morning , a 3 the Doats belonging to the Hosses Herring Fishery were engaged , in hauling their nets on the north side of the Isle of Aram , a violent gale of wind suddenly sprnngnpfrom-the north , and in a very short space of time it increased to a perfect liurricane . Every effort was made by the boatmen to reach ihe shore , Irat , alas ! twelve poor fellows were doomed to a premature and watery grave n ten of whom formed the crew of one of Mr . P . Forster ^ B large fiihing yawl—4 he other two men were lost out of separate boats . A few days previous to this lamentable occurrence , as a boat was retarniBg from Burton Port

      to Arran , die was capsized , and six persons out of nine were unfortunately drowned . One of the survivors -died the following morning from the effects of the braises he received on the rocks while struggling to gain the shore . The continual storms which we iare had since the 4 ih , have paralysed the efforts of trar hardy fishermenj and although there is every reason to believe that there is a large shoal of herrings off the island of Ronanish , the tempestuous state of the weather has kept them from approaching flie nsu 3 J fishing-ground . Twenty-Beven trains of nets , averaging seven each—in all about 190 nets , besides anchors , ropes , &c , have been lost by . the Portnooand Ballyhillsgh fishermen on the morning of the iih inst .

Many other boats were in great danger , iut , fortunately , escaped with the greatest difficulty . Tne night previous to the loss the boats all went out and left their nets shot till next morning , when ail went out in hopes of getting plenty of fish : int . melancholy to relate , while at

      the fishing-groand at Aroonmore , a storm arose , and all hands BUroTe to gain the shore ; one fine young man was swept off his oar by a huge wave , and was never seen more . Another melancholy accident happened a few days previous to the loss above-men fioneu . A boat from Aroonmore was returning iome , when a storm arose , which upset Ihe boat , and six braTe men were thrown oat , three of whom escaped a watery grave . I am sorry to have to acquaint you of the los of bo many lives , many ef -whom have left large families to lament their loss .
