I also tried several patent medicines , but without experiencing , any benefit . I was worn out to a complete skeleton , j —had a severe cough and spit , and was also troubled j ( with Diabetes , and had no hope of ever recover- \ injj : fortunately , however , I was informed by some ' , of my neighbours , of the j ? reat benefit they , had de- i , rived from Parr ' s Life Piils , purchased from you . ! I accordingly agreed to give them a trial . I did so ' and during the last eighteen months , I have taken , about twelvejboxea , which have been attended with \ the most happy results . I am now quite well io f , health , and am labouring very long hours . 1 have ; considered it my duty to recommend this excellent j medicine to others , and atn happy to be able to stat ° j that it has been attended in many cases , with ver f j favourable results . > ' I remain !

" . i Many persons , after learning that so many wonderful cures have been effected by PARR'S LI $ * E PI LLS have a great desire to procure the medicine which has done so much good . In doing this , however , caution must be observed , as certain individuals without honesty , are offering a dangerous substitute , instead of the genuine medicine . The proprietors . oannot , of course , be accountable for any untoward results' that may ensue ' , to those who have been thus , imposed upon , but they can point out n effectual means to preventfarthorimpogition .

Some of the masters , while trade waa b& 4 , attempted to drive tbe men down in their wages ; and the men employed by them have either been employed by other and better masters , or have been kept on strike by the Union . Success has atttended tbe efforts of the men in every instance . Two houses resumed work last week , who had been on strike for an advrnoe of wages . One m&nnfactory is still on strike .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION—Monday , Nov . 18 . The usual weekly meeting of ths Repeal Association was held this day . On the motion of Maarice 0 "Connell , Esq ., SI . P ., the chair was takea by Eiward Clements , E-q . Mr . Maurice O'Connell rerda letter from Mr . O'Connell , from which we give th » following extracts : — " Hillsgrove , Nov . 16 , 1844 . *• Mt dear Rat— I have jost returned the Evening Freeman ot the 14 th , containing Mr . Sbarman Crawford ' s third letter . I , of course , submit it to tht consideration of the association ; bnt I cannot allow one post to elapse without -xpresg'ng my deep regret that it does not . in my bumble jmigment , contain one single principle , or matter of detail , ¦ which ought or could be adopted by the Irish people In their noSle Struggle for tbe restoration of Irish nationality .

      " I may be greatly mistaken , but as far as I can ferm a hasty opinion , Mr . Crawford ' s plan seems to me to be an fclsborate schema to make matters worse than they are at present , and to reduce Ireland from a nominal rquality with England to a real and vexatious provincial CegraGation . " I now beg leave to give notice that I will on Monday , tbe 25 th . move the appointment of a select committee to examine and report upon Mr . Crawford ' s project of Federalism , together with suc h observations in rep . y . as may appear requisite or suitable .

      " If it be observed that Mr . Crawford has , as nmial with him . j ? one ont of his way to make nn attack upon me . 1 hsartily forgive him . 1 bear his blow cheerfully . 1 will not quarrel on my own account with any person or paper until a real Irish parliament iB assembled in Coileae green—at me -who pleases . 1 -will apply all my atltntioD to the sacred causa of Irish liberty—none to the individual .

      ditK'S . Almost svery Repealer of long standing in Lsnion has left the Wardmote in disgvm , although Bepe&l is still warm la their hearts . Others have been expelled by the machinations of an aspiring few , to gratify their vanity and spleen . Thus tbe Hepealers of Lundon are no longer aided , as before , by sneb men as Hyde , Malone , Hnssey , King , Lindaey , O Gorman , C . Cehill , ho . And . now , to crewn the % 'hole , a sentence of expulsion haa been prononnoed nga ; Mr . W . P . Hayaes , who baa ever been regarded as one of Ireland ' s most eloquent advocates . NotalitV' ^ cariosity is felt as to what conrse Mr . Hnynes wil '

      pursue in regard to this matter . His serviced fut Irelend are known to be of long atanding , and ft can hardly be expected that be will remain silent on tbe subject . In my intercourse with Repealers , I have found many who rejoice that tbe Star is about to shine in a metropolitan atmosphere . The London press has treated them shamefully , scarcely ever noticing them , except for the purpose of vneeriag or slander . I am not without a belief that your London Repeal Correspondent ' s exertions have hitherto met their approval ; and may assert that the removal of the Siar to London will only occasion him to increase his energy .

      Drurk Lane Ward , Cravens Head , Drury Lane — On Sunday evening last , Mr . White , R . W ... addressed tbe meeting . He drew a vivid picture of Ireland ' s trade , manufactures , and commerce before the Union , and it * fallen position at the present day .

For the sake of peac-, and from a love of Repeal ( which , through many sacrifices , and for twelve years , I have cherished until it has become a part of my nature ) , I hesj to Btate that I shall not again visit your ward .

      Warden , then read several txtracts from Dr . Bay low's statistical report on Ireland , to show the enormous exportation of live stock , which ought to be consumed at home . England did n « t export any of hur live stock ; and why should Ireland not consume tier ' s : Sbe would rarer be enabled to do so until an independent Parliament was on College Green . Mr . Milton ( an Englishman ) , in an able speech , showed that Repeal waa an English question , and that Englishmen would be very much btnefltted by a Repeal of tbe obnoxious Union . It would leave more work for tbe Englishman to do , and at a better price . Mr . J . Collins thanked the last speaker for the candid manner in which he bad expressed himself , and moved tbe thanks of the meeting to that gentleman , which was carried amidst acclamation . Ths meeting then separated , giving three cheers for O'Connell and Repeal Darin ; the evening , it was announced that the Northern ^ tar was about to beoome a London Journal .

The Learned Gentleman in the csunteof an eloquent speech recommended conciliation and peace amongst them . It wa » for the want of that in former times that bad been tbe cause ef Ireland being in the degraded position she now was in .

      SPAIN . Madrid , Nov . 10 . —Prim and his co-accused are still confined iii the tower of the barrack of the Bod Guards , to which several persons arrested in the provinces , as his accomplices , had been likewise removed . Prim , who had been allowed to communicate with bis inends , continued to protest his innocence , and loudly rowed vengeance against General Narvafrz and the Political Chief of Madrid , It was reported thai Commander Alberni , who , after being lmpl . cateti in the conspiracy , had turned Queen ' s evidence , bad been arrested . The following is a telegraphic despatch from Madrid , of the 13 ih of . November : — " The preamble of the Bill for the reform of the Constitution was voted on iho 13 h instant , in the terms proposed by tbu Government and by the Committee . "

      The chief non-tel ^ Krapbic news ib of a " vast conspiracy" of journeymen tailors , formed at Cadiz , for an increase of wages , and which the superior autboritiesof that oitt have magnified into a raaiifioation of tbe grand conspiracy against Narvaez . , " Not only the dreaded tailors , " says the Ministerial Cuslellano , " had conspired to rise , but , the shoemakers and carpenters were invited to follow the example of the tailors . All these classes wished i » j ) Torieu 7 ice and to claim their imprescriptible ' rights . It was on the 3 rd that the revolution which these

      anarchists prepared for us was to break out at Algebras , and on the other points of the camp of Gibraltar . Happily it waa discovered in time by the zeal of thecommandaut-generalad interim , and ihe alcalde . A jjreat many arrests have taken plaoe , among * others , that of Christoval Salano the brother-in-law of Carballo . Salano made himsel ; ' remarkable by a bp . ard of unreasonable length , which he was determined not to cut till bo had succeeded in his ends . The affair is in the hands ot justice . "

      This would appear ludicrous , were it not that the tragic part of the affair remains behind . Upou this miserable pre ext of the " aevil among th tailors , " the commandant of Cadiz issues a general order , containing the following notable articles : — " Art . 1— Every military man who , having been excited to treason , shall denounce the person who endeavoured to seduce him , shall at once receive the sum of six hundred and forty reals as the pric ^ df his fidelity . " Art . 2—The officers who , in a Bimilar case , will act in . the same manner , shall have well merited ef their country , and will obtain an honourable mention in their favour to the Government , which will be taken into consideration for their

      advancement . " Art . 3—The Council of War , theoply tribunal competent to take cognizance of the orime of sedition , conspiracy , and revolt , will judge an ( d condemn tbe criminals , whatever may be their rank er condition ; and the punishment ot death , Syndicated in tbe : most positive manner by article 26 , part 8 , title X ., of the ordinances of the army , shall be applied without remission and promptly , not only with regard to the individuals who shuli have tried to gain over partisans to the revolt , but also to those who , having had it in their power to denounce them , have failed to do so . "

      What security is there for life , liberty , or property under a Government that can dare to issue such an order as this ? No man is t ^ afe tor an instant . Any soldier in Cadiz , who is in want of 640 reals ( a considerable Kribe to a common soldier in any . country , and a fortune in Spain ) has onjy to go to his quarters and denounce any colleague o < more than ordinary liberality , however peaceful aad qniet , and he gets the money down . Any officer that wants promotion ( and where do they not ]) has bnt to denounce a companion , a friend , or an enemy , and he "acquires a title to the gratitude of his country , " and gets promotion to the baTJC&in- Is it to be wondered at that , with such a system as tbis in fall vigour , denunciations should take place as often as tho Government chooses to call for them !

If I remain silent , my poor people , who would cheerfully share with me the scanty meal essential to their own existence , and with generous devoted bravery f . ice death in my defence , would be warranted in laying to my charge tbe revolting guilt of basely abandoning a true-hearted loving flock in the dread hour of their extermination and ruin ; while on the otfcmr bind a calumniating press will not fail to denounce me as % " demon '' abettor of the landlord ' s assassin should I dare employ pen or tongue in rescuing from the horrific arm of extermination its multitudinous victims . My people however , faithful to me in "weal and woe . " I shall , with heaven ' s blessing , neve * " in weal ot woe , ' abandon ; and while T endeavour to throw arennd them the shield of my feeble protection , it is to me a subject of

      unmixed and unfeigned gratification that my humble tfforts , if successful , will be doubly crowned , by securing in the salvation of tbe tenant that of the imperilled landlord . —The voice , therefore , of well-meant warning I beg to raise . To the batter intelligence of tbe landlord do I make tbis solemn appeal ; to him do I proclaim aloud the terrific truth attested by every day ' s melancholy experience , that all the terrors of tbe law lone their restraining powers over the ejected tenant , who Btaudrt upon tbe desolated ruins of the cabin in which he drew his first breath , while the wasted form of a once contented wife or mother presents the lineaments of want and woe for ever stamped upon tbe countenances of those he fondly loved ; nay , the sweet voice of religion itself lo-ea its salutary influence upon the heart already seared by tbe buruinij tsars of his litt ' . e ones , as they shrink before the storm without the covering of a roof for their shivering limbs .
