To rue Eprron or rik Herarb,

Sir,—-T have read in the Lxaminer of the 26th ultimo,
a very singular letter addressed to the editor of that
paper, by Mr. William Welsh, part owner of the ship
‘+, C. Owen,” so full of personal attacks against your
correspondent *' Ixion.” and Mr. Frederick Me Mahon,
that were it not for a statement which Mr, Welsh has
made, and which requires immediate contradiction, |
would not have considered it necessary to return any
reply to so irrelevant and puerile a commanication.

Mr. Welsh states in the letter referred to that the
character of the young gentleman (Mr. Frederick
MeMahon) occupies no enviable position in the records
of the Police Court.” This, Sir, is a base, malicious,
and wicked falsehood. Mr. Frederick MeMahon was
never brought before the Police Court or any other
court in this Island upon any charge whatever, and 1
defy Mr, Welsh to prove it. In all probability, Mr.
Welsh was thinking of himacl/, when ho was brought up
before the Police Court and fined for striking a man,
and he has merely substituted Mr. Frederck McMahon's
name for his own.

‘Mr. Welsh muet, indeed, have been hard pressed, and
on the ‘horas of a dilemma,” when he had recourse to
the-very questionable proceeding of prying into holes
and corners in search of information which he thonght

in the eyes of the public; and it incontestadly proves

the weakness of his cause and the unsoundness of his

judgment when he works so silently, secretly, and per-
sistently to discover some flaw, however trifling, in a
schoolboy’s reputation for the purpose, as he imagines,
of softening down the very serious charges brought
againsthis ship. As for bis statements with reference
to the captain and crew, coupled with his own opinion

and belief, that the charges of assaults and brutal ill-
usage on board the ship were ‘‘ all bosh,” they are not
worth the value of the drop of ink which he bas expend
ed.in writing them. He was notin the ship on the bigh
seas, to witness them, nor has he any right to receive
for gospel the garbled and false statements of implicat-
ed.parties., Of course the captain of the “L. C. Owen,”
who is responsible for the brutal outrages committed on
board the ship, will Paing Mr. Frederick McMahon's
churacier in the davkout ible aalore, ae a cort of set-
off against them; but we will assume for a moment that
the young lad was, like Mr, Welsh himself, brought be-
fore the Police Court for fighting,—what, in the name of
common sense, has that to do with the very serious
charges brought agaiust the ‘L.C., Owen.” Instead
of endeavoring to throw dirt at the young accuser, Mr.
Welsh migit bave materially improved his coniition if,
when he was inlormed of the conviction of the second
mate before the Mayor's Court, he had at once dismiss-
ed,him from his service, demanded from the captain his
reasons for allowing such savagery to be constantly per-

trated on board his ship, and expressed his regret to
the young. gentleman's father that his son—who was
po a supernumeraty,. without pe: and without
being articled,—should have received such constant ill-
usage to the imminent danger of his life, Lad he wisely
done this, Sir, he might have been spared. all further

in the troubled waters. must not feel surprised if some

f the muddy spray should fall upon his person. From
® fapling of deli

elicacy towards his having remained so

Jong quiet and silent (for it was presumed that he felt
rieyed and ashamed that such infamous conduct should
a, been brought to light), his name was never once
ntioned or called in evidence; but now that he has
thought proper to indulge in gratuitously insulting
ta ts ig and to’ buty himeelf in endeavoring to ferret out
from, tuscruputous sources, any boyish folly which he
codld magnify ito a crime, he ust be told—if he knows
it not already—that the ‘‘gentleman‘s son” is not the
only 6n6 who is entitled to protection on board a mer-

chant ship. The person and feelings of the poorest
béggar boy in the land should be held as free from in-
ury arid ffl-usage as those of the son of the, proudest
{ rin En Jand. With his conduct on shore, a captain

of ship or Ifis crew have nothing whatever to do; and
if th ick, aud strike, and tamble him overboard, ney
will hd to thelr cost that the laws of their country will
take no cognizance whatever of any report they may in-
simuate to his prejudice. Mr. Welsh desires it to be in-
ferred that by using the term ‘‘records of the Police
Court,” young Mr. McMahon has been frequently
brought before that august body. I have already stated

i never once re them, and if Mr. Welsh
pay phd discovered some boyish freak, let him tell it
out like a man, in print, if he likes, and have all the be-
nett 6r it; but insinnations wrapped in falsehood are
cowardly in the extreme.

Welsh alludes to a statement’ made to him by one
of the Magistrates who tried the case, to the effect that
the was “no proof (?) of any of the ehargrs made
exdépt the evidence of the young gentleman bimselt.”

f Such was the case, and that the Court was not per-
fectly varied of his guilt, why was the savage conyict-
ed? Does that Magistrate, whichever of the three he
was, mean to Inply the least donbt of it? “I trast not,

EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTURE EXPLODED!

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION SETTLED !

Innumerable efforts have been
ticians to square the circle. It is now admitted by
rational men that no such thing 1s possible. A ques‘ ion
of the same sort, nearly, is often propounded which, for
the moment, may puzzle a man of slow wit, but which
is eventually seen to be incapable of solution. likewise.
Itis this ? What would be the consequence of an irte-
sistible body coming in contact with an immoreable one?
Very little consideration is required to enable one to dls-
cern that this is a contradiction in terms. Tho closest
approximation to a categorical answer that we evet
heard of has been given by an eminent pathologist, Pro;
fessor Hortowax, who has proved beyond all question
that his extraordinary Pills and Ointment are irresistible
in their effects on diseases’ which under every other
tieatment were absolutely immoveable. This is no
empty boast. it is true. We court disproof. Lfis
medicines, we say, wre the greatest remedial agents that
scientific genius ever invented. ‘* Pshaw,’? somo con-
temptible professional starvling, or disappointed char-
latan may explain, ** what is it all but quackery ! Igno-
rant or unthinking people may be found to re-echo the
charge. But stop, friends. You do not bear in mind
that this very cry of ** quack-quack-quackery,” which iz
us frequently rnised against the true thing as the false,
savors itself of the greatest quackery. Besides, an im-
osition cannot last for ever. If Hottoway's Medicines

rear imposture they are the most gigantic ono that

fr: darkened civ'lization, It they are an impostare,

they have effected more good to humanity than thous-
ands Of ostentatiously benevolent verities. If they are
an imposture no other imposture has ever originated
like them, for they are the result of the most profound
physiological investigation and pathological skill, If
they are an imposture tlien it is an impostare which the
world has been thankful for. The most eminent medi-
calmen of the age have testified to their unparalled
effects as sanative agents. Princes and Potentates have
borne voluntary testimony to their virtues. Nobles of
natare’s making (as well as noblesot man’s making)
have ahke acknowledged im terms of deserved eulogy
their extraordinary powers. There is scarcely a news-
paper throughout the world, which has not willin ly
made itself the medium of communicating to the pubis
the astounding cures which these Medicines have effect-
ed, Most countries they have attained to a patron-
¢, the extent of which is perhaps without precedent
when the comparatively brief coned of their introduction
is takén into account. Professor Hottoway can pro-
(lace almost countless numbers of written, acknowledg-
ments Mp every clime and language) of their efficacy
forwarded to him unasked. Where then is the imposture? «
Let us state a few facts of greater interest.
“It is paramout importance to perserve the blood in
a healthy condition, because itis the vital fluid that
is the priniple of life, and when it is affected the whole
orginization is affected likewise. Hovtoway’s Pills clear
the blood of all — and introduce a healthy con-
dition of the body. His ointment acts in harmony with the
Pills, when applied to external sores. Both invariably
lead to this result. Afens sana in corpore sano, * asound

The Emperor Napoleon in a speech just made at
Arros, significantly said :—

‘* Have faith in the future. Weak Governments
often seek to divert public attention from domestic
troubles by fomenting foreign broils, On the other
hand, these Governments which rest upon the na-
tional will have strength, and need on ly resort to
whatever shall tend to promote the permanent inter-
ests of the country as the means of upholding the
honor of the national flag.” ’
