As a proofof their e cticy in Liver and Bilious complaints, I may riiention the fol- lowing case: A lady of this town, with whom I am personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from disease of the Liver and digestive crgiins; her medicslattsndsnt assured her that he cou do no. thing to relieve her sufferings. and it was not likely she could survive many months. This announce- ment naturally caused gre-at alarm among her friends and relations. and they'induced her to make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general health that she was induced to coiitinus them until she received a perfect care. This is twelve months spa, and she has not experienced as symptoms of relapse. and often declares that your Pills have been the riiesns of saving her life. ._ I remain, Dear Sir, yours truly, ' ed) J.

I tried everything that was reoomrna , and was iittsiided by one of the most einineat sur- geons in this towit, but obtained no relief whatever; and fearing that at health would be entirely broken up, I was induce to go into our County Hospitiil, where I had the best medical treatment the Institu- tion sflbrded, all of which proved of no avail, and I came out no better I n I went in. I was an ad- vised to try your Pills, and b per_severing with them was perfectly cured. and ens led to resume my occu- pation, and although a considerable period has slaps. ed, I have felt no return whatever u the complaint.

The movement_ in favour of “Justice to Scotland'has been met by the Times, and other organs, with a good deal of very entertaining budinage. Now if we try to be angry, we shall uily, we fear, be met by additional explosions of merrimcnt. No doubt, a very little suflices to make John Bull laugh. He in. rt-,re fellow. Such a gem of wit, for example, us—" Who are you?"-“Does your mother know you're out?”-—-or“You shan't sleep here, Mr. Fer usonl”—lteeps him cacchinating for halfalife-time. But, as Scotchmcn, we have no desire that his fun should be at our expense. We shall accordingly do our best to preserve our good humour. for the Vindication of Scottish Rights” be satisfied if we jcin—a.lthough, of course, with reservations—in their hilarity? The good cause has no doubt some very odd advocates. Although Scotch ourselves to the back-bone, a funny Scotchmsn is to us quite as funny as it funny Englishman. For instance, the " North Briton, ’ who wrote a long letter in a late number of the Times to Lord P.u.Mi-:o.s'roit, must be an exceedingly amusing person. But this does not get rid of the agitation on behalf of Scottish Rights. The cause may have its fnnatics—na whet cause has not! We cannot, for example, prevent Scotchmen from waxing, in ii few instances, romantic, vupouring about Buunockburn, and even going into kilts. T_o cherish recollections ofour glowing and picturesque past, is very grand and ennobling; but, of course, perfectly out of place in this age of money-seeking, utilitarianism, and steam. The entiment of nationality must, of ne- cessity, laaguish in the tnarts of commerce. But because a handful of enthusiastic Scots, forgetful how the world has moved, exhibit the bagpipe and the tartan, the heather and the thistle, in their disposition—-is that any reason w our glorious old Red Lion should be systematically snubbed! Are Scotchinen in general to submit to kicks and cuffs, because certain Scotchmen in particular are a little too intensely patriotic! Should justice be denied because more than justice is demanded! Let us, however, deal with our swsmping English friends and with the Imperial Parlia- ment, in all fairness. In a certain sense, Scotland is, at least in some respects, by far the most highly honoured, and the best governed division of the Kingdom. This we frankly admit. For example, she has only 53 representatives in the House of Commons, while Ireland is cursed with I05, and En land with 494! Now, what have Englan and Ireland done to deserve such treatment! Why should they have their legislative broth spoiled by too many cooks, while Scotland is suffered so com- pletely to escape! Apart from the Parlia- mentary infliction of too many talkers, look at the enormous evils inflicted on the sister kingdoms, in electinneering times, by delu- ges of oratory and beer. ow generous in Scotchmen to get up an association to equaliee the burden of representation! Oiily think of such petty places as Thetford and Chippenbam being loaded with as many members as G! ow! Another unquestionable superiority en- joyed by Scotland is her comparative non- articipstion in nllcorrupting and degrading boona. Her hands are as near as pos- sible without stain—-her honour ditto. While the noble and well-merited compliment is paid to her of being allowed to support her own olice, and her own charities; London and Bublin are every year insulted and degraded with large and lavish grants from the public purse! To the countrymen of Sittci.i.s'r'r—of him who sung, "Thy spirit Indapgadsnce let me share, Lord of the lien art and eagle eye I"- no Parliament has ever dared to offer pay- ment of their police-rates, or grants for the maintenance of their infirinuries, their hospitals, or their public gardens. What- ever insults may be heaped u on Scotch- men, no Southerner, thank eavsn! has ventusrd to wound their honourable pride with mean, gratuities. No, no; the hat- touchiug business has been left to citbmen, Cocltneys, and Iriahmeu, London gets £I3t,000, and Dublin £36,011) s-year for their police alone. As for the struts doled out to their Houses of Refuge, Vaccine 3 Hospitals, Bethlehem Hos itsls, Or has Houses,‘ Fever Hospitals, ouutry afie- rnaries, Public Parks, Museums, Colleges, and Schools, they amount yearly to many I tens of thousand of pounds. Why, the very ‘ revenues of the Scottish Woods and Forests ' to the maintenance and adorning of Eii‘g- l and Irish public edifices and pleasure- ‘ grounds! How humiliating to the two countries which have the honour to be 0 Scotland! . parsgte the superior Independence with which ‘we have less lettered. We areevea disposed’ Will the opponents of the “ Association- we delight to cherish as a nation. Whi Ireland has been clainouring, like a sturdy mendicant, and getting lat-rely, and while England has been getting vtlnrgely without the trotihle ofclamouri , Scotland has been doing stubborn work—- igging mines, con- structing machinery, knocking up cotton mills, deepening rivers, showing what “high farming” could make ofa. barren soil, and ttmussing property for England to tax and pocket, and forlreland to cringe and beg, and bellow, and yell for, with the fury of hunger and the shatnelessuess of rags— and all this with never so much as a grumble out of our mouths! The position thuii attained by Scotland is no doubt a prou one. a admit it, and, but for our charactcristic modesty, would clinch it with additions. MACAULAY long ago, and Lord Psi.Msns'ro.v and Mr. Guosrotti: lately, have been loud in their praises of the Scotch. But “fine words butter no parsnips,” quoth the proverb. As one ofn club ofthree, we deprecate the honourable distinction of always paying more titan our fair share ofthe reckoning. his is our interpretation of “Justice to Scotland,” We don't want separation. England is pretty well, and Ireland, we are happy to think, is mendin . VVhat we want is as- sociation on equitable terms. VVe want aome little respect, not merely to our tax- pmducing powers, but to our dignity as an ancient kiugdom—not allowing that dignity to intcrfer with needful reforms, but keeping it in view as shielding us from needless sliglits. Above all, we desiderute that England and Ireland shall be raised to the same di ifled and independent platform as Scotland; and that London and Dubliit shall, like Edinburgh and Glasgow, pay their own police, support their own chari- ties, snd build and maintain their own local edifices. Could anything be more reason- ublc—lcss extrnva ant and romantic——less provocative of that brilliant Cockney wit of which We have, in an early part of this article, recorded our appreciation? Ah, but then there is the affair of the Red Lion! What shall we say of the com- laint put forward on behalf of his leonine ingship! We confess that with regard to this matter we were at first inclined to bejocose. age of newspapers, can with ditliculty be treated seriously. But who provoked the dispute! Admitting it to be it matter of supreme moonshine which quarter the said royal beast occupies in the shields and standards of Scotland, why disturb the old srrungament—the only arrangement, in fact, which was historically or heraldically accurate! What offence had the old animal —rampant only in picturc—committed, that his lace in the said shields and standards should be shifted, and reduced! Was be supposed to have threatned the three mongrel leopards of England with his innocent uplifted nwa! Was he supposed to have no car or music, and to have menaced with that valiant attitude of his, which is stamped on every half-crown, the strings of the forlorn Irish harp! We know that we live in a practical age, when no plea of antiquity can bar the way to any useful im rovement. But what purpose was serve Ila the heraldic displacement of the Scottish ion! Now we thin on it, we have only lately made any real and satis- factory acquaintance with the emblematic quadruped; for the life of us we cannot helptaltinga liking to him like another Asnitocouts; pacific as is our disposition, we almost begin to feel the heroic brute rampant in our heart! In rfeet seriousness, there cannot, we think, he a doubt that Scotland, because she has been quiet, sober, industrious, and little addicted to agitation, has been treated by the Government, and by the Imperial e islature, with considerable contempt an unfairness. Hence the “National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights,” the first meeting of which, under the presidency of the Ear of Eglinton, is to be held in Edinburgh on Wednesday next. Against the tendency to a more thorough union—to something even of a cetitralising spirit-—und to denationalisution in so far as the abolition of useless courts and sineeure offices is concerned, it would be vain, even were it expedient, to rctnoustrate. But there is basis enough for the Associa- tion in the actual, solid, onmistskeuble grievances at which we have glanced. Let not Scotland, which has lost so many of her own establishments, be called upon to contribute to the sup rt of the useless vice-regal establishments of Ireland. Let not Scotland be required to support her own police and her own charities, and yet be called upon to contribute to the support ofthe police and the charities of the tiv sister kingdoms. Neither let Scotland, ' onllv out of respect for her ver venerable so highly respectable Red ion, sufer her historic glories to depart, withcstcsuse assigned, along with so may of her‘ other, perhaps lessdshuslhts, dstissttsus. — ""0 A heraldic grievance, in this New Series.

Winthrop- speaks as following of the power sad responsi- bility of the American Prsss:—- " The l’rass'of America-‘-the cdlcsl press, the pamphlet press; and light literature preu, and above all, the Newspaper press of America, that lfemttndoul engirisry which throws a fresh bread- side at morning and evening and ay beneath almost every roof in‘ the Republic, and whose conipetitjons so often betray it into fatal compli- siicss with the prejudices, the passions, and even the profliuuolsa of its supporters. Who can esti- msts the influence of such an englnery upon’ our social sndmoral condition! Who can calculate the pernicious edict upon the cummunityofa Ilnitle corrupt, licentiuus Newspaper, coining slsnders like it mint, changing phases like the moon, ‘with 365 opliiioiis in a year’ upon every subject which it treats, spioing its daily and night- ly potions with every variety of obscene and sell- sual stimulant, controlled by no sense of responsi- blllly, finding its way to the knowledge and para- sal of the young, the ignorant, and inexperien- ced, and ministering and pandering to their disea- sed tastes and depraved appetites! Ami who can calculate, on the other hand, the influence which might be produced--say, let me say, which is pmilocsrl-—forI have in my mind, I thank Hea- ven,inore titan one exauipls—-by such siiengine in the bands of upright, intelligent. inilepauileiit, and conscientious uieii—espousing and advocating neither ultraism nor citraistn—neither a wild fans- tictitm nor a bigoted conseivatism—with ihefeer ofbod before their eyes, with the Iolc of truth in their hearts, and by whom the advancement of knowledge, of.movslity, of virtue, of right and righteousness, is not held subordinate to the pop- llpllllly of the hour, or to the state of the subscrip- tion list. The accomplished and eloquent Prime Minister of England, who has been personally known and esteemed by so many ofus in this Country, as .well asin his own, has recently declared some- what eniplmtictilly on the lloor of Parliament. that ' as in these days the English press aspires to share the influence of statesmen.’ It would be more true in; this Couutry,I fear to speak of statesmen aspiring to share the influence of the press. _But.‘ however it ma be as to the point of relative aspiration, there can be little question as to that of comparative responsibility. Certainly, it’ res sibiltiy is to he messbred by power, the responsibility of the press is greater than that of any statesmen titular the son, liowevsr exalted he may be. will! has forgotten that splendid excla- mation of another great English Minister and Oflltrl’, In I8IfI, when he challenged find defied all the authorities of the realm to contend against the power of the press! ' Give them said lie, ‘ it corrupt House of Commons: give them a ty- rsnnicsl Prince: give them a troeltlin Court; and let me but have an unfettered prere—l will ilsfy them to encroach a hsir’s breadth upon the liberties of England.‘ Yes, an unfettered press is a match, and an over-match, for almost anything human. Neither tyranny nor freedom can stand sginst it. Neither corruption nor virtue can survive its systematic and parsevering assaults. It may be rendrrcdsll hutomnipoteiit for evil; it may be rendered all but Omnipotent for good: according to the ends to which it is directed, and the influences by which it is controlled. And the only reliable earthly influence to which we can look for safety, is a :8llI$’0f responsiliilty, on the part of its control- era. WHITE WASHING EXTRAORDINARY. The Rev. James Williams, the well- known and philanthropic missionary, so long resident in the South’ Sea Islands, taught the natives to manufacture lime from the coral of their shores. be powerful effect produced upon them, and the extra- ordinary uses to which they applied it, he thus facetiously describes: “ After having laughed at the process of homing, which they believed to be to cook the coral for their food, what was their astonishment when, in the morning, they found his cottage glittering in the rising sun, white as snow; they danced, they sari , they shouted and screamed with joy. T e whole island was in s commotion, given u to wonder and curiosity, and the laughable scenes which ensued after-they got possession of the brush and tub bsllle description.
