      Perbt ' s Purifying Sppcipi c Pills , Price 2 s . 9 d . 4 s . tid . and 11 s . per Box , ( observe none are genuine without the signature of R , and L . Perry en the Inside of ea < h Wrapper , ) which are well known throughout Enrope and America , to be the most certain and effvc ual cure ever discovered for every stage and Symptom oi' the Venereal Disease , in both Sexes , including GonorrcEea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all Diseases of tne Urinary Passages , without Joss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most&urprising cures , cot only in recent and severe cases , but whua salivation and all other means hav .-failed . And when an ea-ly application is made lothese Pills

      for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted . u a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in thr more advanced and inveterate stages of Venereal Infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific P i lls , in which Messrs . Perry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to { hose afflicted with Scorbutic affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous , or Venereal Taint , being fully calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated Constitutions to pristine health and vigour .

      The ra s h , indiscrimin at e , and unqualified use of MfcTcury , has _ teen productive of inuiiite mischief . Under the notion of us being an amidote to a certain disease , the Hntutored think they have only to saturate their sy&tem with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . _ Fatal error ! Thousands are annually Mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the lunctions of Nature so impaired , as io render the residue of life miserable . The disorder which we have in view owes its fatal results to neglect or ignorance . In its

      first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished , by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the least injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local inieetion will be converted into an incurable and faval malady . What a pity that a , yonng man , ihe hope of his country aad the darling of iii ~ pure : u .-, should be snatched from all the prospects ana enjoyments of life bv the consequences of one unguarded moment , anil by a disease which is not , in its own nature fatal , iuid which never proves so if proper ! y treated .

      His a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , M <; reajry , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration . blotches on the head , face , a nd bod y , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sore throats , di s e a sed n o se , with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs , till at length a geuer&l debility and decay of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a period so their dreadful sufferings .

      FRIGHTFUL ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WHOLE SHIPS COMPANY . On Tuesday last , the schooner Sprightly , Newton , master , from SL Michael ' 8 , for London , put into Falmouth . ia charge of a Penrance pilot , owing to the following horrible circumstance : —It appears that wLile ihe schooner lay at St . Michael ' s , two deserters from one of her Mujts ' . y ' s ships were put on board of her to be brought Lome ; and that Captain Newton , who , in receiving them , had only performed a duty ¦ which the law imposed upon htm , treated them in the same manner as his own crew , not putting them under the slightest restraint , but allowing them to assist in navigating the vessel , and to keep watch with the other seamen . No iccotmnience seems to have arisen from

      this indulgence until Monday nigln , when Samuel Bayley , one of tbe < U-scrters , had his watch on deck with Captain Newton , the cook , and & lad , the rest of the crew and the other deserter being in bed . About ten o ' clock the captain was on tlw starboard quarter , looking out for land , and the lad was on the bowsprit The cook was at the helm ; and Bayley , going up to him , asked where he had put the axe with which he had been cutting up some wood . The cook , who suspected nothing , told him that it was under the capstan . Bayley went for it , and then , approaching the captain , struck him vio l ently with the axe on the head , and felled him to the deck . The villain then went to the helmsman , and said— " To save your life don ' t say a word ; " but immediately

      struck him on the head also with the axe . The cook fell on his assailant , and called out loudly to the crew — "Murder , murder ! " For God ' s sake come up . ' Bayley , upon this , cut the cook ' s hand with a knife , which obliged the poor fellow to let him go . He then ran to the companion ; and as tho mate , who had been alarmed by the outcry , was coming up from the cabin , he struck him also a tremendous blow ou the head with the axe , and made two thrusts at his throat with the knife . By this time the captain , who had been completely stunned at first , revived ; and the threo wounded men filling upon their murderous assailant , at length mastered him , and la&hed him down , but not until he had made a desperatG attempt to throw the mate overboard . The lad who , of course , witnessed this affray , was too much frightened to take any part in it ; and the rciuaindur of the crew , two men , and the second

      deserter , were prevented from interfering by the deliberate villany of Bayley , who , an it afterwards appearal . hv . d . before he began Mb bloody work , naiieu ^ " ¦ vm tbe butch of the forecastle , where they weiv slot'i-ing . The vwsel Mas about thirty iniles from Soilly when this tragical event occurred ; and the next morning the ciptaiu , whose skull , it ia said , w . is badly fractured , was sent on shore to Penzance , ill a , delirious state , Bayley lias of course been delivered up to the civil authorities ; and two examinations have taken place before the Falmouth magistrate * - , but the prisoner stanOs remanded until Friday that the fate of the captain may be ascertained . No reason whatever has been assigned by the bloodthirsty wretch for bis horrible conduct ; but it is supposed that he intended , after murdering the captain and crew , to run the vessel ou shore , that he might escape from the punishment due to his desertion from the navy .

John Justice , rector and guardian of Ightfield , and carried on a division by 13 to 4 : — ' We , the guardians of the Wem Union , have heard witk considetabk surprise and ie « ret that a bill to continue the Poor Law Commission for five yean longer it about to be- nrinnitted to your Hon . Houae . We have already been instructed for Beveral years in the system of tb * » w Poor Law Amendment Act , and are of opinion that an assistaot poor law commissioner * at thi * board is no longer requited . Your petitionen have iwuson to believe that other unions « c similarly sitaated

      ; and , as the New Poor Law Amendment Act allowed at first but nine assistant-commissioners , which number baa now been doubled , at the enormous expense of . £ 50 , 215 Os . 3 d . per maana , —considering , moreover , how strictly economy is taagbt aixl enforced by the Poor Law Commissioners and 2 £ sistant-connuissionm themselves , —justice demands Siat this acknowledged principle be adopted through tliu whole syetra , and that the Poor Law assistant oomm . \ sskmeni be reduced to their original number . Your . vstitioners axe informed that new taxes , both local and jmblic . f are about to be placed on the country , acknowledged on all hands to he labouring under great dift ' cultles and embarrassments .

Tue packet-ship Roscius , Captain Collins , arrived at Liverpool ou Saturday monung last , with New York Papers of the 6 th innt . In © news brought by these journals is not of much importance . The House of Representatives at Washington having voteda resolution tor the adjournment ot CoDgrssa on the 18 th of May , the proposal of its tion

      adop by the Senate gave rise to some important remarks on $ he Boundary Question . Mr . Buchanan , Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs , addressed the Senate to the following effect : — " As to this question of the North-Eastern boundary , which had been spokea of , the President had informed us that the British Government last July offered a convention for its adjustment . This was not satisfactory in its terms , and a counter project was offered by our Government . He was very glad to learn from the communication of the British Minister , which was read in this body on Thursday last , though he did not like the temper displayed in that paper , that au answer might be shortly expected . When the expected answer to our counter project is nksmved

      , we bhtvU see day-light on this question . We shall then be informed whether tho British Government accedes to tho proposition and is ditppsed to settle it amicably , or whether she refuses , and in that event we shall know what we have to do . He was not willing to vote for fixing the 18 th of May as the day of adjournment , hat he thought that in all human probability the reply of the British Government would be received before the 1 st of June , should that answer be unpropitious , which Heaven torbid , we can postpone it until such measures can be passed as we may deem necessary for the protection of tho country . ' Mr . Beaton , who likewise opposed the vote for ; adjournment , took a still mote decided view of the question . He said— ' ¦ >

      It was a well-ascertained fact that extensive prepa rations were going en along the whole line oi our fro ntier , from Lake Superior to Passamaquoddy Bay . Not only were the British erecting permanent fortifications , but were constructing fieldworks which implied approaching operations , and under the law of nations we had a right to demand their object . Look to the mouth of Colombia River also . No t onl y there , but in the Bermudas , warlike © reparations were being made . Look , al s o , to the Bahamas , and the increased communication between England and Halifax—to the concentration of troops in the provinces , which gave note , as clearly as any t hin g could do , of a settled purpose to drive us to extremity . "

      We have before expressed onr disapprobation of the arrogant tone of Mr , Fox ' s last note , and are not surprised to learn that it has been very unpalatable to a large body of public men in every part of the United States . That Lord Palmerston does not approvo of such a style of Corresponding with the United States Government , is , we trus t , already well known to our Ambassador at Washington . The adoption of the resolution for adjournment en the 18 th of May was carried by twenty-three votes against seventeen . The following extracts include all the news , political , lo c al , and commercial , in these papers : —

      Bbitish Armed Vessels on the Lakes . —The fapers on this bubject , submitted to Congress by the ' resident , iu compliance with a resolution of the House , show that at tho close of navigation last f a ll , two steamers ( owned or hired by the British authorities ) , one schooner , and a number of barges , were employed on Lake Ontario and 4 he rivgr St . Lawrence , as a security against the apprehended renewal of the troubles of the preceding year ; and , from the annexed communication of Mr . Forsyth , there is reason to expect that even this small force , or at least a part of it , will be soon withdrawn . ' Department of State , Washington , "March 13 , 1840 .

      "Tho Secretary of State , to whom Las been referred a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 9 th inst ., requesting the President to communicate to that body , 'if compatible with the public service , whether the Government of Great Britain have expressed to the Government of the United States a deairo to annul the arrangements entered into between the two Governments in tho month of April , 1817 , respecting the naval force to be maintained upon the American lakes ; and that , if said arrangement be not annulled , whether there has been any violati o n o f t h e sa me b y the authorities of Great Britain / has the honour to report to ttie President a copy of the only communication on file in this department on the subject to which the resolution refers . Prior to the date of that commuuicauon t he , Secretary of State , in an interview invited for that purpose , called Mr . Fox ' s attention

      to the disregard , by her Majesty ' s colonial authoritie s , of the conventional arrangement between the two countries , as to the extent of naval araanents upon the lakes . " In the autumn of the past year the Secretary of State mado known , verba l ly , to Mr . Fox that the causes assigned in his State no longer existing , the President expected that the British armanent upon the lakes would bo p la c ed upon t he s ame foo t i n g prescribed by the convention . Mr . Fox engaged to c o mmunica te , without delay , to his Government the substance of his conversation between them , and expresses his own conviction that , if the winter then eiinuiug passed without renewed attempts to disturb the tranquillity of the Canadas , t here could be no sufficient motivo for either Government maintaining a force beyoud that authorised by the convention of 1817 .

      All of which is respectfully submitted . "John Forsyth . " To the President of tho United States . " Mr . Senator Williams , of Main e , passed through Boston on Sunday , breathing nothing but belligerency , and full to the brim of fire and fury . He was probably practisiog , with the view of better playing his part when he should reach home . We advise Air . Williams and his friends to imitate the discretion of Mr . Van Buren in this matter . Tho GlobCy with the aid of a Canadian refugee at Detroit , is attempting to force the war fever , and hopes yet to embroil the border country in a war . Though tolerated , we cannot believe , in view of the closing sentiments of Mr . Forsyth ' s last letter to Mr . Fox , that this policy is encouraged by Mr . Van Buren . — New York Enquire * , April 3 .

      The British ship Tyerwald had arrived at Campeachy , from Vera Cruz , and succeeded in landing and getting into the city 300 troops . The gates ot t he ci t y were c losed , with the exception of tho Mole-gate . On the 19 th , 700 more Federalist troops left Menda , to assist iu capturing Campeachy . The Federal army had no heavy cannon , and it was thought the garrison would bo reduueed to starvation . On the 13 th , Government issued a proclamation , ordering those that could not provide two months provisions to leave the city . Flour was 35 dollars .

      GREAT FIRE—LOUISVILLE ( KT . ) IN FLAMES . ( From the Philadelphia Exchange Books *) We are indebted to a friend for the following ex t rac t of a le tt er dated Louisville ( Ky . ) March 27 , 1840 :-" This day I arrived here , and saw one of the largest fires I ever remembur , except the great fire in New York .

I fear the Louisville Bank ( a very fine buildiug , said to bo fire-proof ) will not be saved .

Bird-nesting Extraordinary . —On Sunday last three lads , living in North James ' s-street , were engaged in the not very laudable pursuit of searching for birds' nests at Comely Bank .

He began drinking early in the morning , and by noon was far adv a nced in li q uor , in which state he went to the house of a beer-shop keeper , in Corry-strect : there

      h e m et w it h fiv e o r six of his companions , and having expressed a desire for some ale , one of the fellows , named John Brinsell , a weaver , proposed to pay for twenty glasses for him . According to Brinsell ' s account , he drank—being already intoxicated—sixteen or seventetn glasses of ale in about ten minutes . Immediately afterwards he was led to the door , and attempts were made to cause him to vomit , but they failed , and hi s co m pa ni o ns t h e n laid him on his back . A surgeon was sent for , but before he arrived the poor abandoned drunkard was a corpse . The jury returned as their verdict— " Died by excessive drinking . " —Staffordshire Gazette .

      Apprehension of a Desperado .- — -On Sunday night , the 22 nd of March , the fowl-house of Mr . Francis Croft , of Staveley , was broken into . Suspicion attaching to one Matthew Hall , of t he same place , the > constable of Staveley immediately went in search of Hall , who , however , contrived to avoid him . On the Monday but one ensuing , he wentearly in the morning to the house of Hall ' s father ; but here again the fellow made his escape , nearly naked , out of a window , at the back of the house , while the constable was seeking to gain admission . . On

      Wednesday , the 8 th inst ., inconsequence of information which he had received , the constable proceeded to Mosbrough ; and about midni ght , havin g obtained assistance , went to the house in which be understood Hall was . One party remained at the fron t door , another stationed himself beneath the g able window , and called to Hall to surrender . This he would not do ; but immediately leaped out of the gable window right on the top of Wagg . A desperate struggle ensued , but eventually the rascal was secured . He was brought before G . Crompton , Esq ., Justice of the Peace , and committed to Derby to stand his trial . —Derby Mercury .

      The British Legion . —General Sir De Lacy Evans has passed through Paris on his way to Madrid , for the payment of the arrears due by , the Spanish Government to the British Auxiliary Legion . On previou s occ a si o n s , when he was requested to urge the payment of these claims , he refused to take any measures which might endanger or greatly embarrass the Government of her Catholic Majesty , because a civil war then raged throughout the count ry , and threatened the very existence of that cause which the Legion , under the sanction of the British Government , had been formed to support . But the pacification of the Basque provinces—the recent success of Esp&Ttero ' s operations—and the retirement of Don Carlos and his principal officers from Spain , may be said to have virtually put an end to the civil war .

      Inr the Mattes of Gould , alias Nicholson . — Ever < unce the acquittal of the above person at the late Central Criminal Court Session , upon t he char g e of the murder of Mr . Temp l e man Inquiries are made continually as to the probable destination of the party . We have been incessant in our endeavours to ascertain facts connected with Gould , but his case is involved in considerable mystery , and some particulars have been stated , which at present we are not at liberty to divulge . Gould has been an inmate in the Giltspur-street Compter ever since the verdict was returned in his favour , but he is no t a prisoner , and might depart at any moment he demanded his liberty , as no detainer of any kind . is lodged against him . After his trial , it was considered that as the public mind was excited aeainst

      him , his person might be in danger if he was turned des t itute on the world , hence ihe Sheriffs humanely offered him his present asylum , which he gladly accepted , and 'his exemplary behaviour shews that he is grateful for their kindness . At present it is in contemplation to send the young man to Australia , and it is said that Alderman Pirie has undertaken to effect that object . It is not generally known that Go'ild was an inmate of the Compter for six months in 1838 , upon a conviction at the Old Bailey of s t ealin g a she ep , or , rather , '' a carcass of mutton . " His behaviour then was very becoming . He frequently converses about the late horrid murder ,

      and there is no doubt but he is in the secret as to who w e re the p er p etrat o rs of it , but he is extremely cautious as to what he says on the subject . He intima t e s , however , that there are two persons connected with the sanguinary deed , and he ap p ears to have a predilection in favour of one of them in preference to the other , becau s e h e has s a id t h at if he was certain that A would split against B , he ( Gould ) would testify himself against the former , if ho was sure that it would net affect the latter . It is hoped , and some are sanguine enough to believe , t hat even t uall y Gould will make a disclosure to satisfy the ends of j u s tice , inasmuch as his future destiny in a great degree depends on it .

      The late Stabbing Case at Hayes . —It will no doubt be in the recollection of our readers , that at the April sessions of the Central Criminal Court last year a young gentleman , n a med Franci s Has tings Medhmsr ., was tried on the coroner ' s inquisition for wilful murder , a nd on an indi c tmen t f o r manslaughter , f o r h a vin g s t abbed , with a French knife , a young gentleman , his schoolfellow , named-Joseph Al sop , on the 9 th of last month , a t the house ofthe Rev . Frederick Stunner , at Wpod-end-green , Hayes , and that ho was convicted of the manslaughter and sentenced to three years' imprisonment in the House of Correction ; but , as hard labour was hot attached to the sentence , he was permitted to occupy rooms in tho house of the governor of th&

      prison , where books and other accommodations were allowed him . It will also be remembered it was there stated Mr . Medhurst would be entitled to considerable property ( said to amount io £ 7 , 006 per annum ) on the death of his grandfather , Granr ville William Wheeler Medhurst , Esq ., of Medhurst Hall , Yorkshire . That event took place on the 3 rd instan t , at the age of seventy-seven , years , at t he establishment of Dr . Stillwell , Morecroft-house , Welling t on , near Uxbridge , of whi c h the deceased gentleman had been an inmate for many years * Having in the year 1804 , in a fit of excitement , sho t his lady while standing at one of the windows of Medhurst Hall . Mr . Medhurst is now of age ; but whether , und e r t h e p ecul ia r c ircums t ances in which he is placed , he will inherit his property , or it will

      be forfeited to the Crown , we have not yet heard .. Considerable dissatisfaction prevailed at the time ofthe t rial , in consequence ofthe difference between his sentence and that of Mr . John Bull , who wa s convicted at the February sessions ofthe same year of manslaughter , for having stabbed a man of the name of William Rushbrook , at Hoxton , on t he 19 th of January , aud sentenced to three years' hard labour , and one month solitary confinement each year ; which dissatisfaction increased in August last by the conviction of a boy only fifteen years of age , named Coker , for stabbing a man named Moses Yates , a t Il u refiold , and his sentence being transportation for life , the difference iu the exciting cause being in the favour of the two latter prisoners . —Sunday paper .

      Seduction . —Between the hours of one and two o ' clocK on the morning of Tuesday last , the inhabitants of Woodstock-street , Oxford-street , were alarmed , in consequence of hearing loud cries of " Murder ! " by a female voice proceed from the second-floor window of a house of ill-fame in the abovenamed street . These cries drew speedily together a g rea t numb e r of per s ons , and some of the C division of police , who discovered the head of the young female who had raised them through one of the squares of glass , imploriug assistance . The police , on effecting an entrance into the house , p roceeded to the apartment , and , o n opening the door , they discovered a young man undressed in bed , and the young female who bad raised the cries in her clothes

      on the floor , in strong convulsive fits , and weltering in bl oo d , which was issuing from an extensive gash inflicted on the right side-of her neck and cheek . Medical assistance was immediately sent for , and the nearest surgeon , Mr . Clarke , of Marylebone-lane , promptly attended . On examining her neck and cheek , he at once pronounced it to nave been out by the glass window through which she had thrust her head , and considered tho wound ( . which in one part gaped to the extent of half an inch ) so dangerous as to warrant her immediate removal to Middlesex Hospital , which he directed to be done . The female , who i s apparen t ly no t m o re t han twen t y years of age , refused to give her name , and all that could be elicited was that she is a lady ' s-maid in a

      gentleman ' s family at the west end of the town ; that the young man who was found iu bed in the room in which she was had on Monday afternoon induced her to accompany him to Greenwich fair , where they stayed so long that , on their arrival in tow ) , she iouuu it was too late for her to return home to her place that night , and the young mao whom she accompanied , under a pretence of taking her to a house where aha might sleep with some of his female relations , succeeded in getting her to enter the brothel in Woodstock-street . She is still understood to be an inmate of ihe hospital , and in a very precarious condition , but , strange to relate , tho yonng man i ' ouud undressed iff the bedroom with her Jia < # been sufferou" to # > at large .

      of Sir George Sitwell , Bjtft ., of Renishaw , in Derbyshire , named William Coggin , was proceeding on his rounds , he was met by five or gix poachers , who , it would appear , had been lying in wait for him . Oa approaching them one of the poachers moat deliberately raised his gun to his shoulder and fired . The whole of the charge entered the lower pai t of the poor man ' s abdomen ; he was afterwards found by one of the other keepers dangerously wounded .
