The following communication has been recen,ly received by !1r. J. C. Reinbardt (late Moxom), Hull. Si:,—A child of mine was very ill in the Hooping Cough when the fits of coughing came on she was frequently black in the face. My rr.edical man made use of the ordinary remedies without much apparent effect, telling me it must take its course; but having seen the advertisement of Roper's Royal Bath Plaster, I rpplied to you for one, when, to my great joy, the fits became less violent, and at much h nger intervals, until, in less than a week's time, she was as weL as ever she was in her life.

Gentlemen,—I wish to bear witness to the great benefit I have received by the use of our Royal Bath Plaster, for a beating in the stomach and chest, with a dreadful cough, which, with stiaininc, produced swelling of the ntck almost to suffo- cation. I have been for three weeks together and not laid down in bed but by the application of one of your Royal Bath PLlstHS, am able to follow my usual house work, after many Other remedies had failed. Yours gratefully, MARY WILSON. P.S. You are at liberty to publis this if it will be of any service to you. The following has been recently received from Mr. James Drury, Stone Bow, Lincoln:- To Messrs. Roper. Gentlemen,— I beg to state I have met with several cases where your Royal Bath Piasters have been very beneficial to the parties making use of them. In shortness of breath and asthma much benefit has been obtained by giving freedom to breathing; also in a case of bad cough, the greatest ease has been given and to children, in most eases affecting the chest and lungs, the Plasters have proved the nnest protectors imagi- nabie. I consider if parents would make use of them generally, maDy lives of children would be preserved. I am your most obedient servant, JAMES DRUFTY. 224, Stone Bow, Lincoln, May 9th, 1846.

THE testimony of a clergyman vouching to eleven cases of curse by these wonderful Pills." Extract of a letter from the Rev. George Prior, Curate ofMevagh, letter Kenny, Carrigart. Ireland, 10th January, 1846. To Professor Hollowv. Sir,—I send you a crude list of some eleven oases, all cured by the Use of your Pills. I cannot exactly give you a professional name to the various complaints, but this I know, some of them baffled the skill of Derry and this county. In a previous letter this gentleman states as follows Within a short distance of my house resides a s'nall farmer, who, for more than twenty years,has been in a bad state of health Mrs. ior gave him a box of the Pills, which did him so much good that I heard him say, for twenty years past, he never ate his food or enjoyed it 50 much as since taking your Pills.

THE POPULAR MEDICINE. a THE following important testimony to the efficacy of Parrs Life Pil's, has just been received by the Proprietors. To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co London. Athlone, Dec. 7th, 1846. -gir,-You will please to send me Six Dozen more Parr's Life Pills; I am just out. They are taking well. and I can assure you they are doing an immensity of good every one who has them in affec'ions of the liver and the stomach derives a great deal of benefit. Yours. &c. t WILLI AIV* GILCHRIST, Apothecary and Surgeon. No medicine vet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity it is questionable if there be now any part of the civilized elobe where its extraordinaiy viriu s have not been exhibited. This signal success is not atiributable to any system of advertising, but solely to the strong recom- mendations of parties cured by tl-eir use. The Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills have now in their possession upwards of TWELVE HUNDRED LETTERS, several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England, many from distinguished Dissenting Ministers, fn m gentlemen connected with the army and navy, also from Members of Parliament, Merchants, and last, though not least, from Members of the Medical Profession, and a skilful Analytical Chemist: all speaking in tbe highet term? of the value of this inestimable medicine. This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel. The extraordinary properties of this medicire are thus de. scribed by an excellent physician, who says—" After particular observation of the action of Pali's Life Pills, I am determined in mv opinion, that the following are their true properties Firstly—They increase the strength, whilst moat other medi- cines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and. in- stead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. "Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less aad less by every dose you takp. and if you will persevere iu reeularly taking from three to six pills every day, youi disease will be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly.—They are found, upon giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating pro- perties, and they win overcome all obstinate complaints, and icstore sound health there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst, their mildness as a pnr- i!2'ivf> is a desideratum greatly required bv the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. "Fouitliiy—As a general Family Afedicioe they are exceed- ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they may be used with perfect safety in anv disease, for to every dis- ease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Ksq., of Man- chester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated Dr. Dalton, F.RS., in a letter addressed to the Proprietor, in London, s,,iys-' I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to the public for their efficacy and simplicity, and to he really vegetable .pills, containing, as they do, nothing nut what is of vegetable otigin.' With this assurance the public need have no fear of giving them a fair trial. c, Fiftlilv-ttiere is no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular with females as Parr's Life Pills. For all complaints peculiar to females, they are of the most astonishing efficacy; and they are confidently recom" mended to them for their general use. A trial of a box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion." Beware ot spurious imitations of the above medicine. None are genuine, unless the words PARR'S LIFE PIT T s WHITE LETTERS ON A RED GROUND, engraved on the Government Stamp, pasted round each box also the fac-simile of the signature of the pioprietors, "T.

Gentlemen,—A number of my friends have experienced great benefit through taking Locock's Wafers. Please to send me one dozen boxes by post, as some are waiting fer them. One friend named Amy Calamore (subject to asthma), had a box last week, and has already received great benefit fiom tbem, although she did not take the whole, as she divided the box among some of her neighbours. Every one speaks highly of them, and they are taken by some of the first families in town. Yours obediently, J. P. WILLIAMS. ANOTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL. From the Rev. Owen Thomas, Wesleyan Minister, Holyhead. October 9, 1845. Dear Sir,—Dr. Locock's Wafers do a great deal of good to my voice. I got a bad cold from a damp bed, about 35 years ago, and my voice was very bad ever since being great pain to me when preaching or singing-and I am very fond of singing. I used many different medicines, and some of them do good for a little time, but Dr. Locock's is the best of all-it clears my voice and stops the coughing instantly. I have never found anything yet to compare to them. I have been 33 years a Wesleyan Preacher, and all the Wes- I leyan Methodists in the Principality know rile. (20 years of which I have lived in Holyhead), and L am known personally to all the first men of that body, many of whom have admired the effects of the wafers in clearing the voice, and stopping the cough-they never got such a medicine before. My wife ever since Christmas, has been very well, after taking two boxes. I am a witness of their power to stop a frightful fit of coughing in an instant. I, as a Wesleyan Preacher, call upon all preachers and singers of every denomination to take these wafers for improving the voice, and curing coughs. You may publish my testimonial for these excellent wafers, if you wish.—I am, yours truly, OWEN THOMAS, Wesleyan Minister. ANOTHER CURE OF TWENTY YEARS ASTHMA. Extract of a letter from M.

SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR, Carefully prepared from the recipe of the late C. Spencer, surgeon, &c., Salford, Manchester; deservedly celebrated as the most successlul practitioner in all Pulmonary Affections. OF all complaints incident to the human frame, those of the lungs appear to be most peculiar to this climate, especially in damp, foggy weather, and during the winter months whilst persons of every age and station in life, are altke the subjects of attack. Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir is admirably adapted to pro- mote expectoration, ease the breathing, loosen the phlegm, abate fever, allay the tickling sensation which occasions the cough, without lightening the chest. The Pulmonic Elixir was originally prepared by the late Mr. Spencer, whose signal success in dispensing it can have the ready testimony of thousands, who have experienced its efficacy. The receipt is now solely known to the present proprietors, who purchased it from the widow of the inventor. The two great characteristics of the Elixir are, the allaying of all irritation in the defiaate aajJ susceptible coating of the throat and chest; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the respiratory organs, whereby they are enabled to discharge their functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breathing arising from a cold, foggy or impure atmosphere, and to throw off those insi- dious attacks which too often lay the groundwork of consump- tion. For all temporary and local affections, as wheezing, irri- tation of the throat, huskiness of voice, and influenza', the Pulmonic Elixir gives instant relief, while in more Chronic Disorders (as periodical coughs or inveterate asthma) it is equally efficient, though cf course requiring a little more per- severance in the use of the medicine. Innumerable cases of well-attested cures have been received by the proprietors of Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir; the following is the most recent- Messrs. MOT! ERJsHEAD and Co of Manchester, beg to hand the following testimonial, just received by them, ad- dressed to the Proprietors of Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir Sirs.—I feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to acknow- ledge the great benefit I have received by taking Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir; I have been troubled for the last three years with a severe cough, and a disease on my lungs. I have con- sulted some of ths ablest medical men in Manchester and Not- tingham. but without receiving anything but a temporary relief; for a short time and always at a great expense. At the latter end of 1844.1 had occasion to visit London before this time I never heard of your invaluable Elixir. A friend of mine re- commended me to try it As I found the London air made my cough much worse than it ever had been before, I did try it, and experienced great relief from the first dose I took I persevered, and one small bottle of your Elixir, price Is. lid., did me more good than 1 have ever received for twenty times the amount, for which I feel very grateful. I remain, sir, vours thankfully, M. F. As this person does not wish the name to appear in print, any one doubting the authenticity of this, may apply to Messrs. Mottershead and Co., chemists, Manchester, who will vouch for its genuineness. CAUTION.

Foreign and Colonial Intelligence. FRANCE. A letter from Paris dated five o'clock in the afternoon of Mon- day, states that the contradiction given in the Dibat. of this day to the report that the King was seriously ill has naturally occasioned an improvement in stock and shares en the Bourse. Tbe rise of prices was not, however, to an extent to argue the re-es- tablishment of public confidence and this hesitation was subse- quently justified by a new fall. The reasons for this seeming inconsistency are continued misgivings respecting the health of a perscoage so fat advanced in hfe as his Majesty, and apprehen- sions founded on the certainty that the impending debates on the address of the deputies will be more than usually violent. The Swiss question has, for the moment, ceased to induce un- easiness but the public are not reassured on the subject.- Spanish politics are referred to by nobody, yet are they suscepti- ble of t ecoming at any moment most exciting. What chiefly prevents the recovery of the funds :s, however, the state of Italy, which continues to create alarm in the public mind. The ac- counts received to day from Italy are in no respect consolatory. rbey represent new conflicts as probable in Milan, and new dis- orders as possible in Rome. The Journaldes Debuts announces that the French government received on Sunday a letterfrom Abd-el-Kader, declaring tbat he placed implicit reliance on the wisdom of the King, and would gratefully accept any decision his Majesty might be pleased to adopt with regard to him. The National announces"that the Duke de Montpensier had purchased a splendid palace at Madrid, and that an architect and several artists had left Paris for that capital, to restore and deco. rate that palace according to the modern tasie. Paris papers state that a painful impression had been produced Ly the imprisonment 01 Abd-el Kader and his family, in violation of the pledge of the Due d'Aumaie that he should be conveyed to Egypt. The conduct of the Emir in this circumstance ac- cords fully with his reputation," says a Toulon letter. He felt disappointed by, and indignaot at this breach of laith on the part of the French government, but be bowed his bead in resignation to the will of the Omnipotent." The late Princess Adelaide died worth rather more than 80 mil ions of francs ( £ 3,200,000). The will is so long tbat it took more than four hours in the reading. The bulk of the property is left to the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Montpensier, and the Duke de Nomours, and four millions of francs, payable at the death of the debth of the King, to the Queen of the Be!gians and the Princess Clementine. The legacies out of the family are not very numeious, and the amounts aresmall. The Princess has left only fifteen hundred francs a year to her ladies' maids, who had been with her many years and to servants, some of whom had been thirty years in her service, only 600 to 1,300 francs each per annum, half of whi;h is to cease it they take situations. The diamonds, il is said, are not mentioned in her "ill. They are supposed to be wonh £ 80,000., and will, it is understood, be distributed by the King to the Princesses of his family. SPAIN. Three new incidents mark the extraordinary mutability of affairs in Spain Queen Isabella has tour times been seized with some kind of convulsions Salamanca, the late Finance minister, has beea impeached and Espartero has returned bv favour of Narvaez. The public may guess at every cause for Queen Isa. bella's illness but the true one. It is by some surmised that she w suffering under medical tieatment to suppress a cutaneous dis- order to whit h she is sut ject. Others observe a coincidence be- tween her illness and the revived allusions in France to the suc- cession of the Duchess de Monlpensier,-aa if Christina were positively a. Lucrezia Borgia! El Siglo states that Espartero was received by the Queen in the kindest and most flattering manner. Her Majesty told hirrj that she had felt great pain at his long exile and Espartero -in- swered that, notwithstanding be had undergone all the bitterness of exile, he had never ceased to offer up fetveot wisbt-s jor his Queen and country. Wrhen he was about to take leave of her Majesty, she said that she shoul4 be delighted to see him often at t' e palace. To ibis c ompliment Eipartero replied, Madame, I will come at any hour your Majesty fequires m and sends for me and, in answer to a quet i^n of the Qjt-en, he added, tha- his motive for so aciiug was, fildt he migiit Dot incur disagreeable suspicions, or privatt rivalries. Tbe Clamor Publico sistes that, on arriving in the night, the General had to itsk his way of a witchm^n. and the Siglo rerords that a young man havine waited on him to congatuiate him on his return, Espsrtero asked him who he w..s, when he received for answer, "I am the soo of Zurbaoo!" — a reply *hich, it sa)s, tuii-ed su-h great emo'ioo to the General t',at he was deeply effected during the remainder of the day. Since h;s return to Madrid the General has re-oved intelligence of the death of his faithful friend, Gen. Linaze. This has considerably affected him, and ha, contri buted perhaps to iletermiue him to go to Loerooo to meet the Duchess of Victory, as soon as he has taken the oath t.s renator. On the 8th crowds continued to surround the house in which he resides, and, in consequence, the vicinities of it "ere occupied by strong detachments of troops, a piecaution totally unneces- sary, as the utmost tranquillity prevailed, and one, moieover, which was considered by the Progressista party as most insulting. HANOVER. We have grea! pleasure in announcing t|) £ t a messenger ar- rived in town on Thursday night from Hanover, with intelligence of the safe confinement of her Royl Highness the Crown Princess of Hanover of a princess. The gratifving announce- ment was communicated to her Majesty and Ibe different members of tbe royal family. AUSTRIA. The family of Count de la Feld Sternberg has been plnnged in great affliction by recent intelligence from Estonia. The young Baron Theodore d'Ungern Sternberg, who was deservedly loved by all who knew him, has been shot in a duel occasioned by some trifling offence given or received in a Salon" at Reval. Baron Gustave de Sternberg, brother of the deceased, who acted as his second, had the misery to see his brother killed be- fore his eyes. The Emperor has ordered Baron Gustave to retire for six months to his estates in the island of Dago. RUSSIA. It is stated in a letter from St. Petersburgh of the 4th instant, that 427 vessels, laden with grain from St. Petersburgh, were detained by the ice in the port of Rybinsk, which is situated at the meeting of the two rivers, the Rybinska and the Volga. In order to preserve the grain, it will have to be disembarked and stored until the spring.

AMERICA. By the Hibernia, we have advices from New York to the 2nd instant, and Boston to the 5th instant. The Congress of the United States is preparing to arm the Executive with new power for contioued war. Bills had been reported for adding ten regi- ments of regulars to the army, and authorising the acceptance of twenty additional regiments of volunteers, to serve for three years. unless sooner discharged. No movement had yet been made as to replenishing the treasury. Mexican affairs have un- dergone but little change. The Congress was still at Queretaro, inactive by a decisive vote, however, they rejected propositions declaring against all negotiations with the United States while her armies and fleets occupied the country. There was some design entertained of sending a Mexican Commissioner to Washington to solicit the appointment of Commissioners to meet at Havana, and arrange the terms of a treaty of peace. In the event of Queretaro being threatened, the Congress will be re- moved to Aguascalienles. The greater part of the governors of the different States are present at the seat of government, and, with one exception, in favour of peace. The new policy adopted by the United States' commandeis in Mexico, to subsist their commends out of the resources of the country, is now in progress. Lord Palmmton had protested against the forcible levying of 'axes upon English residents in .Mexico to support the war with the United Mates. A dreadful steam-boat accident had taken I place near Mavsville, Kentucky, from some unascertained defect tn the machinery. Between sixty and seventy persons were killed. SOUTH AMERICA. The following is an extract from a private letter dated Monte Video, November, 1847 We have received news from the interior that Urquiza has marched against Corrientes, with 7,000 men, and that Rosas has sent seven or eight gun-boats into the Parana ir is understood, also, 'hat if the French retire from this affair, as is expected, Oribe will attack the town. The French have been more stiict lately in their Uockade, and have detained several English vessels." A US i IIALIA. Pape:s from Sydney to the end of August have been received. The accounts f,' In the interior allude to the want of rain for strengthening the crops, which were regarded as backward. Wheat had advanced in consequence, and was quoted from 4,.611.1051. per bushel. In the neighbourhood of Seymour and other places the flock masters were looking forward to the ap proacfi of the wool season. Shearers, it was anticipated, would realize wages as hish as 15s. per hundred, labour of the kind being scarce. The last advices from Hobirt-town reported the dissolution of the Legislative Chambers.

INFANT SCHCOLS.- W hn the idea ol iniant schools was first starred, it "as acied upon with the ea,!er and sanguine haste of a new discovery. The raised galleries, and the pictures, and the little regiments of hand clappers, were quite charming. Mothers were superseded, and children, whose limbs were too weak to support their little bodies, were publicly taught to crawl on the most approved principles. Often have we seen one of these prodigies of infant learning, whose spinal column could not sopport the weight of an overworked brain propped up between two little companions, drooping its head like a pale lily, strain- ing after ideas beyond its feeble powers, trying in vcin to sleep in a constrained posture, and amid a deafening noise and we have thought that a few rugs and mats for the weary sleepers. aud the gift of common s, rise to committees and teachers, would be a signal benefit to these little viciims of philanthropy. The alternative was a miserable one, it is true to let the infants re nain locked up, perhaps in cold dirty rooms, while their mothers went to sell fish or apples, or to leave the poor babes to be hired out to beggar women to be hawked about to excite compassion. But undoubtedly the Infant School mania, like every other, had its victims. ALARMING OCCURENCE. On Saturday morning the inhabitants of Islington, Hol- beck, near Leeds, were thrown into a state of alarm by observing a considerable quantity of hair and blood upon a gate-post forming the entrance to the road leading to a disused coal pit, situated about 10 yards from the Leeds and Elland-road, near to Islington. Upon examiniug the spot, several stones were also found marked with hair and gore, and drops of blood could be distinctly traced along the whole of the path leading to the coal pit. A short distance from the pit a pool of blood and several bludgeons clotted with gore and hair were discovered. There were also other indications, as if some unhappy victim had here made a last mortal struggle for existence. On further examination, the fence around the pit was likewise stained with hair and blood, as if the victim had been violently dashed against it. As might be expected, the most horrid apprehensions began to prevail, it being evident to all that a most foul and unna- tural murder had been committed. The excitement was increased by a rumour that an individual of the name of Samuel Carlton, residing at Beeston, who had left his home on the previous Thursday, had not been heard of since. In the minds of the people the cause of his absence was now accounted for; nothing, to them, was so natural as the con- clusion that he had been murdered and robbed, and that the perpetrators of the foul tragedy had cast his body into the coal pit to escape detection. Mr. Jamet, the indefatigable superintendent of the Leeds night police, was sent for, and on hisarnval, finding that the appearances accorded with the statements that had been mlde to him, he applied to the Mayor (F. Carbutt, Esq.), and obtained his permission to erect a scaffolding round the mouth of the pit, in order to its being searched. The preparations having all been com- pleted on Sunday morning, thousands of persons flocked to the spot. Mr. James, with his assistants, soon arrived, and a man was lowered to the bottom of the pit. The ap- prehensions of the spectators had now reached a most pain- ful state of intensity. After a short interval, the man at the bottom of the pit gave the signal to be drawn up the ex- citement was at its height, scarcely a breath could be heard. At length the man appeared, bringing up with him the mu- tilated remains of-a large dog, whose brains it appeared some miscreants had knocked out, and afterwards thrown the body into the pit. Carlton has since turned up, not from the pit, however, but from Kirkstall, where it appears he had been enjoying himself with some friends.-Leeds Mercury.

On Wednesday week the special coin mission was opened at Eunis, county of Clare. The calendar contains 17o prisoners, 20 of whom are charged with murder and the others with various Whileboy outrages of a very violeot racter. It is now much doubted whether the special conmission will have the effect that was at first expected from it; outrages continue to be committed, and even the recent act for disarming the people appears to be ineffectual for the purpose. The following desperate offences were perpetrated during the past week. On Tuesday night last, nine men entered the dwellings of M'Namara, John Macmahon, of Corka- more, John Sweeney, and Cornelius Frost. One of the party, it appears gave privave information to the police, who proceeded from Stx-mile-bridge, and airt-sted eight of the principals. They fired three shots into John Macma- hon's house, when a young man of the name of John Fitz- gerald received two balls in the groin, of which he died the next day. On the same evening, in the city of Limerick, where the commission is being held, as an artillery sergeant was re- turning to his barracks, he was met by a man, who asked him was he to be the witness in Hill's murder? The ser- geant answered "Yes," though he was not the man, when immediately the fellow snapped a pistol at h:m, and the sergeant retreated to inform his comrades, but the party escaped. ENNIS. Special Commission has begun its duties at Ennis, Pa- trick Ryan and James Hayes have been found guilty of the murder of Mr. Watson—sentenced to be hanged and two tren named Butler and Hourigan have been sentenced to death for the murder of Patrick Cleary. The triai of John Crewe, for conspiring, with others, in the murder of Mr. J. Watson, was proceeding when the last post left.

THE MURDERS AT CASTLETOWNROCHE. An inquisition was taken on Friday last at Castletown- roehe, before Mr. Richard Jones, County Coroner (assisted by Sub-Inspector M'Leod) and a respectable jury, on the bodies of Catherine M'Carthy and Magaret Reynolds, her niece, whose deaths were mentioned in the Reporter of Saturday last. It appeared in the evidence, that the aunt, Catherine M'Carthy, kept a huckster's shop at Castletown- roche, by which she acquired about JC60. and having got into delicate health lately had brought her niece to attend to the business. That two men came to the house to lodge on Tuesday night week, one of whom was in the habit of lodging there before. They sat down by the fire, and spoke in a friendly manner to the deceased, who were the only in- mates of the house but one of them kept his head down when persons came in, for the purpose of concealment. In consequence of the door and windows being closed all day on Wednesday, and up to three o'clock on Thursday, the neighbours suspected that something wrong had occurred, and sent for the police, who broke open the back door, which was bolted inside. The front door was locked and the key taken away. On entering a bedroom next the kit- chen they found the aunt and niece lying dead in the same bed; the niece was quite naked, with the bedclothes thrown over her. There was a considerable quantity ot froth and some blood in her mouth, and the mark of a large finger- nail under the jawbone; the back and shoulders were quite livid, the body was cold and stiff, and life appeared to have been extinct for at least a day. The aunt lay near her, with a small piece of whipcord tied tightly round her throat. On seatching up stairs, one of the beds appeared to have been recently slept in by two persons, two boxes were broken open, some small articles in them were tossed about, no money was found but a halfpenny in a drawer; a dry blad- der, such as is generally used as a purse, appeared to have been turned inside out, as if rifled of its contents. Nl rs. M'Carthy's cloak, 2 coats and smallclothes which belonged to the deceased husband were missing; a pair of old trow- sers, which appeared to have been recently worn, and wet, I were left behind. Michael Troy (who lived next house to the deceased) and several other witnesses, proved they saw the two strangers in the house that night, and deposed to other very important facts.. Dr. Tuckey, having been examined at great ength, proved that tbe deceased came by their deaths by strangula- proved that the deceased came by their deaths by strangula- tion. The jury found a verdict accordingly.

THE Land SCHfME.-Mr. F. O'Connor has Purchased the Great Dafford Estate, Brorosgrove,containing :230 acres, of Mr. Bomtord, the present occupier and owner. The subject created a great sensauon amongst the farme s m the market on Tuesday, lest OConnors .our acte allotments should bring into the parish mo-e poor, w,th which u is already so heavily burthened. Un Monday morning a ra- ther novel turn-out was witnessed in Cheltenham, when a procession of meirbars of the ^nd-sciieaie, men and wo- men settlers, preceded by a band of music and 'oi owed by the movables," took place to Sng's-end. There were m the whole of the procession, three waggons ar.d eieht carts, drawn by altogether thirty horses the iatter were all noble- looking animals, and we could not heip conttasting their plump and corny appearance wiih the look of squalid and shivering wretchedness of the 20 or 30 women and chi;dien huddled together in an open cart Mr, F O'Connor did not attend as was expected.
