Sib , —Yonr valuable pills have been the means , with God ' s blessing , of restoring me to a state of perfect health , and at a , time when I thought I-was on the brink of tbe grave . I bad consulted several eminent doctors , who , after doing what they could for me , stated that they considered my case as hopeless , I ought to say that Ihad been suffer , jag from a liver and stomach complaint of long standing , which daring tie last two years got so much worse , that every one considered my condition as hopeless . I , as a last resource , gota box of yonr puis , which soon gave relief , and l > y persevering in their use for some weeks , together with xubbing night and morning your Ointment over my chest and stomach , and right side , I have by their means alone got completely cured , and to the astonishment of myself and everybody who knows me . —( Signed ) Matthew Has-¦ ve t . —To Professor Hoixowat .

Sm , —I beg to inform you that for nearly five years I hardly knew what it was to have a day ' s health , suffering from extreme weakness and debility , with constant nervous headaches , giddiness , and sickness of the stomach , together with a great depression of qiirits . I used to think lia tnothing could benefit me , as I had been to many medical men , some of whom , after doing all that was in thenpower , informed me , that tbey considered that I had some spinal complaint beyond the reach of cure , together with a very disordered state of the stomach and liver , making my case so complicated that nothing could be done for me . Sue day , being unusually ill and iu a dejected state , I saw yonr puis advertised , aud resolved to give them atrial , more peraavs with curiosity than with a hope of being cured , however I soon found myself better by taking them , and so I went on persevering in their use for six months , when I am happy to say they effected a perfect cure . — < Signed ) Wiiuah ' Smiih , ( frequently called Edwabd . )—To professor HgilowAT .

Hearing the many benefits de- 1 rived from old Pake ' s Pulls , I decided at once to give them a trial and purchased a box at your shop , near tlie Stone Bow , Lincoln , and it affords me great pleasure to inform you that the one box entirely cured me , and I am now entirely restored in health ; but whenever I feel lets active , and net so lively as usual , I immediately have receurse to old Pask , and a couple of his pills bring me right . The astonishing effect Pabr ' s Pills have had upon me is such that I can scarcely believe that I am the same man I was a few months ago : I felt then as though my life was nearly ended ; now , I feel hearty , rnd able to undertake any description of work and exertion , without feeling that excessive fatigue I did previous to taking them , It is really and truly new life to me : I have given this statement volun . tary , for the benefit of those-of my fellow creatures who know nothing ot old Pabt ' s wonderful pills .

AMONG THE MANY DISCOVERIES . la . that characterise the present age , none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community , nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity , as the important discovery of Slate ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , the efficacy of which has been tested by tlie approval and recommendation of many of the greatest men of our day . They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms , including sciatica , lumbago , pains in the head and face , frequently treated as toothache , & c , They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind , and invariably prevent the ,. disease attacking the . stomach , brain , or other vital part- In testimony of which Mr . - Blake , Kingscliffe , Northamptonshire , writes"Twelve years ago I became afflicted with rhumatic gont . I procured the best advice possible , but without deriving benefit ; and tbe doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary , where I continued , twelve weeks , and left it without obtaining any benefit , and ail my hope of relief bad vanished . This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to try Blair ' s Pills . I then lost no time in sending to Mr . Mortlock , of Stamford , for a box ; and by the rime I bad taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch . I then sent for another box , which enabled me to throw away the other ; and thank God I have never since had such au attack . lam much exposed to cold-, but whenever I feel symptoms of attack , I have recourse to the pais with universal success . I recommended the pills to a gentleman , who resides in this neighbourhood , and he has derived the most essential relief therefrom , and is now never without them .

Prance. Riot At Besancon. — Paws, "Wedxe...
PRANCE . Riot at Besancon . — Paws , "Wedxesdat . — The President visited Besancon on Monday evening , tbe 19 th inst ., and a ball -was to be given tbe same night ; tho pressure of tho crowd , ho v ever , was so great , in tlie neighbourhood of this ball , that the troops could not form that double line which is here called la haie . The dignity of the President , thus unhedged by the usual prickly fence of bayonets , was sadly exposed to be bustled by a rude and anything but friendly mob , composed chiefly ot rorkmen , who deafened him with shouts or " Vive la RepubUgue ! " No sooner had Louis Napoleon gaineu ' the interior of the ball room than the tumult became wilder and fiercer outside , and the
cries louder and more menacing , and presently in burst a torrent of the populace . A loud cry of " Vive la Mepublique ! ' burst from this tumultuous column , which consisted of workmen , whose fierce excitement made it probable that they would be hurried on to acts of violence , which formed no part of their intentions . Amid the flight and shrieking of women , and the bewildered crush of disconcerted couples , the President ' s staff were honourably intent in mana ging if possible a safe retreat for their chief and for themselves . In both of these objects they appear to have succeeded , and presently the ball-room was abandoned to the
invaders , who took triumphant possession , with uproarious cries of " Vive la , lkpnblique ! " Of course they did not spare any of those symbols , such as eagles , and flags with the President ' s initials , which bore any relation to the scheme of reviving tho empire . Meanwhile General Cast ' ellane , who had already drown his sword for the protection of the President in the ball-room , rallied the troops , and returning at the head of a stron g detachment of cavalry , charged BWOl'd in haild Presently the ball-room was cleaved by infantry at the point of the bayonet . These measures sufficed t & quell the riot and restore order . Several prisoners wore taken . —Daily News .

Antagonism Of Capital And Labour. Certai...
ANTAGONISM OF CAPITAL AND LABOUR . Certain sentimental and economical writers are irt the habit of inculcating the doctrine , that the interests of Capital and Labour are identical . They deprecate any resistance of the Jabourer to the aggressions of Capital , not so much on account of the owners of tho Capital
, as of the labourer himself . Whatever interferes with tho free , unrestricted , unregulated application of Capital , for tho promotion of its owner ' s individual advantage is , according to this school of philosophers , prima facia an evil to society . Why ? Because Dr . Adam Smith , and the Economists , hare laid down as a fundamental principle that , when every person is doing the best he can for himself , he is , at the same time , most effectually and
certainly promoting the welfare oi the communit y at large . Wo do not intend to attempt to controvert this very specious and charming theory by any lengthened abstract argument . There is no necessity for it . Weliavo onl y to lift our eyes , and look at what is passing around us to be convinced of its fallacy . The present week has supplied a startling illustration of its falsehood . Usuall y when strikes take place the masters take care to prejudice the public in their favour because tho matters in dispute are of such a description , and so exclusivel y
Antagonism Of Capital And Labour. Certai...
affect themselves and their workmen , thatfe \ r can understand them , fewer still will take the trouble . ; and the . newspaper press is so completely in the interest of the Capitalist class , that those who do , find the utmost difficulty in ascertaining the facts . The workmen Ire therefore , in almost all such cases , condemned as an unruly and unreasonabl y-discontented and rebellious set of fellows , who do not knowwhen they are well treated , ? and who , for their own sakes as well as that of the public , ought to be starved , whipped , and imprisoned into submission and becoming obedience to the wise and benevolent rule of their lords and
masters , The strike of the Engine Drivers on the Eastern Counties Kailway has placed this matter in quite a different and a new light , and has forced our " Politico-economical " friends to come out with some expositions on the subject of Capital and Labour which completely upset the theory of their identity . In this case , fortunately , tho public have an interest as direct , and as powerful as either the Directors and owners of the line or their servants . Everything which delays the transmission of goods or intelligence , or prevents men from attending to their business with the usual regularity and punctuality , is in this highly artificial , complicated , high pressure
system of ours immediately felt to be a great grievance . The railway system has itself increased the public sensitiveness . By its establishment domestic and business arrangements have been revolutionised within the last few years . Merchants , factors , clerks , have accommodated themselves to the new state of things ; and , instead of living as formerly , in narrow lanes , ' or close and crowded streets , have taken houses in the suburbs , depending upon the trains for dul y bringing them to their work every morning . The railway has driven off . the road all the old conveyances , broken down all the connecting links of the old system of locomotion and traffic , and left the public entirely at the mercy of their Directors .
A dispute between a Company and those who drive its engines , thus loses the character of a private struggle between masters and men , and becomes national in its importance and its bearings . This accounts for the ample publicity given by all the daily journals to everything connected with the Eastern Counties strike , as upon former occasions of a similar nature on other lines ; and it explains also why they devote " leaders" to the subject , written upon the whole in so temperate a style as most of them are . It is seldom , indeed , that rebellious mechanics and labourers are
treated with such forbearance ; and the writers themselves very significantly indicate the cause why they are so , and their great anxiety as soon a possible to strike down the body who compel them , for the moment , to exhibit a constrained civility ; though they dare not bite at present , they cannot refrain from showing their teeth . . The Daily News , as the organ of that heartless and selfish party the " Manchester School , " has naturall y shown its hostility to the Drivers in the plainest manner . We
need not here repeat their complaints or their grievances and their reasons for striking against the palpable tyranny of Mr . Gooch . In the calm and admirable addresses of Mr . Hope , their Chairman , these are set forth so minutely and so forcibly that nothing can be added . Wo leave them to tell their own tale . Names , dates , figures down to the most minute details , are given in a plain and " ^ exaggerated style , which must strike home conviction of the truth of his statements to
every unprejudiced- ^ -aye , and even to every prejudiced mind . The rejoinders of the Directors and of their new Superintendent , on the contrary , are on their very face void of every element of credibility . We have , indeed , nothing but vague denials of the facts alleged by the Drivers , resting upon the unsupported authority of Mr . Gooch ; and , as we shall show , contradicted by facts , which tho Directors themselves allow to be placed before tho public in their attempted justification .
In the face of these facts , the Daily News of Thursday , has the effrontery to characterise the demand of the Drivers thatthe unjust and tyrannical Superintendent should be dismissed as " apiece of impertinent intolerance , which the Directors were by every rule of service bound to resent , and to refuse submission to . " "It was impossible" continues the tool of the millocracy and the plutocracy , " for the Directors to yield to any such tyrannical and unjust demand ; if they had , their servants and not they or their Superintendent , would have been
masters of the Railway : So encouraged by assent to tlieir requests , the Engine Drivers might have next required a voice in the choice and appointment of the Superintendent : nay , pushing their principle to its full extent , in the election of Directors themselves . ( Stuff J ) They have , of course , and are entitled to the full exercise of the power of serving under any Superintendent ; if they dislike the head of then- department they can leave , - bus in striking on such ground , they must not expect public sjmpathy or support . On the contrary their employers are entitled to every assistance the public can give the Company < o placed in thisdilemmf . "
The best reply to this insolent piece of mingled falsehood and nonsense , is to be found in the leader of the Times of the same day . It is not quite so hopelessly crazed as the " Manchester Mouthpiece . " The workmen , if aggrieved , had no alternative hut to resign , and it is plain that to forbid combination iri such a case would he to forbid the only effective weapon of selfdefence in the hands of the oppressed : Single resignations would have been only single suicides . It may be said that if concession is made to the men on these points , they may recur to the same means to-morrow to enforce concessions on others . This is quite true , but it is no less so that if the workmen had yielded to tho superintendent , that functionary might have made his appearance the following week with another code of rules even more oppressive than the first .
Who can doubt that he would have done so ? If any one does , he has only to look to the circumstances under which he accepted the office , and the manifest object of his appointment by the Directors . He now denies that he ever intended to reduce wa « es , and states the fines he imposed were justifiable . How does that tall y with the fact , thatthe whole of these fines have been returned to
tho parties on whom they were levied ? Is not that a distinct admission that they were wrongly inflicted in the first instance , and that tVte drivers were right in resisting the injustice ? In opposition to his declaration as to there being no intention to reduce wages and increase work at the same time , wo have tlie distinct and specific evidence of the two drivers to whom ho announced that intention , to oppose that unsupported assertion . But
we have more . Having in ins lame and laboured defence of himself , thrown imputations upon the professional character of his predecessor , that gentleman has replied in the Times , and very conclusivel y refutes the charges of incompetency made against him by publishing the letter of tho Directors to him on accepting his resignation . The Chairman , speaking for himself and colsttes
leagues , a , that during the whole four years he was in their service , ho " exhibited very high mechanical skill , the strictest intethe interests of the company . " Whv then S ^ f fffe Here is the answer of the Directors ! - " The Board having determined to make a very important alteration in the management of tho above departments h * v »
accepted your resignation . " What was the " very important alteration " \ Miich could not have been carried out by a gentleman who "had exhibited very high mechanical skill , the strictest integrity ; and a 7 t L S XI 0 US deS , i lG t 0 P ^ mote the interests of he Company , " and to whom the Directors further express "their high esteem of his perv 2 l ^? - K' Didth 0 " alteration" ^ , vohe such injustice , oppression , and meanness that such a man as they describe shrunk from undertak ing tho dirty task , and th ™ n ^; fulent f \ r . ^ « e congenial Imd nTrt . 1 l , a f Jt beCaU 8 e m ' Hu <™ o , ip £ heai't to exact double work for S 5 ir ? wi ^ J onler t 0 declare'belter dividends by the robbery thus committed , that
