      IN CASES OF SECRECY , Consult the Treatise on every stage and 3 ympt-oms of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most alarming forms , just published by Messrs .

Perry on the Inside of each Wrapper , ) which are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most oertain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both Sexes , including Gonorrh ea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness ,- Defiaeney , and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most Eurprisuig cureS j not only in recent and severe cases , bu : when salivation and all other means have failed . And when an early application is made to these Pills

      for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently ontracted in & moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of Venereal Infection , characterised by a variety of painful' and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , 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 those 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 foulnfesa , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated Constitutions to pristine health and vigour .

      The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use « f Mexcury , has been , productive of infinite mischief . Under the notion of its being an antidote to a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually Mercurialized out of existence , or iheir constitutions so broken , and die -functions of Wature so impaired , as to render the residue of life BUBerable . The disorder which we have in view ewes its fatal results to neglect or ignorance . In its

      Mist stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished , bj attending to the directions / all y pointed Wit in the Treatise , without the least injury to the constitution ; bat when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local infection will be con-Tertedinto an incurable and fatal malady . What a pitr that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments ot life by the onseqnenees of oae unguarded moment , and fcy a disease which is not in its own nature fatal , aad which never proves so if properly treated .

      Tils a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims t * this horrid disease , owing to the nnRViffnltreftp of 3 HieraU men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , Mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of aigm , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , sodea on the shin bones , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the bead and limbs , till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues , and a " ??

      MEDICAL ADYICE . OF serious Importance to those who are suffering ; rom Venereal or Syphilitic Diseases , Nervous , or sexual Debility , Rheumatism , Scurvy , Scorbutic Erap " ions , and ail Diseases arising from impurity of the Blood .

      Mr . LA'MERT , SURGEON , No . 21 , FALKNER-STREET , MANCHESTER , Licentiate of the Apothrcary ' B Hall , London , and Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , &c , haying d . "voted his studies for many years to the various diseases of the generative organs , and to the cure of these insidious and often fatal diseases . at the various Pl .-spit 3 ls in London , and in the Universities of Edinburgh and Dublin , cannot refrain from directing attention to the deplorable consequences so constantly occurring , owing to unqualified and illiterate ii-ci ) , presumptuously c ' aimiufi to have a knowledge of thc > e disorders , who are totally ignorant of the

      KUicrai principles of medioine , and either by unskilful treatment , or by the immoderate use of mercury and other questionable specifics , entirely ruin the constitution , by suffering the system to become affected , and tfce whole mass of blood tainted with ventrcal poison , causing eruptions and ulcers of a most frightful character on the face , neck , and body , which closely resemble , and often are treated as , scurvy , and dreadful pains in the limbs and bones , which are commonly mistaken for rheumatism ; the whole frame then becomes affected with the most a ' . arming symptoms , and a melancholy death puts a period to thu sufferings of the patient .

      The imperative necessity that exists for the compleic eradication of these deplorable disorders is evident from the fact , that this deadly contagion may lay imbedded in the constitution for years , and it is of the utmost importance to those who are about to form matrimonial engagements t © cleanse the system previously of all its gross impurities , in order to prevent those sad appearances throughout entire famiiirs , whicu are frequently the consequence of a protracted and incomplete eradication .

      In those deplorable cases of nervous and sexual debility , arising from earl y and indiscriminate excesses , where melancholy , distaste , incapacity for all pleasures , both mental and physical , and all the enervating imbecilities of old age are its attendants , the utmost endeavours should be made to uvoid the despair and misery which accompany these dreadful debilities , when left to the powers ofnature alone to restore , and which frequently hurries its victim to the grave in the very flower of his youth .

      To all who are thus afflicted , Mr . LA'MERT , as a regularly educated member of the medical profession , can with the utmost confidence offer hope , energy , vigour , and feli « ity ; and from the peculiar nature of hid practice , the moct timid may feel encouraged by tie opportunity thus afforded them . The following letter U published by particular request : Newcastle-upon-Tyne , June 20 , 183 ° . Sir , —It has been my intention , for a length of

      time , to address you on a subject closely connected with your celebrity ; but I moat confess that a feeling of delicacy has hitherto withheld me . My cure , however , has been so complete , that it would be an act of gross injustice to your character and skill , were I longer to withhold a ease bo remarkable as any on record . Born in a polished circle of society , I was early sent to a laost respectable public seminary , where , for * Dme years , all went on with prosperity and happiness .

      Unfortunately , however , » habit w * 8 sent abroad among ns , which I was , with many ethers , unable to resist . Years rolled away , and left me an altered man ! Infirmities gathered around me , and at the age of twenty years I wu actually dying of decaya gradual but certain d » eay . I wonder « d at the cause of all this premature debility , nor did the truth ever flash across my mind , until 1 saw an address of yours , whioh made me fully sensible of my miserable situation . The debility increased every renewed day , with the cause of misery , self- « Dtailed ,

      gnawing ; at my heart in my waking moments ; in Becking rest , I only sought fw a change of torments —the many hours of darkness seemed awful ; those of sleep filled me with racking horrors indescribable . I longed for day—with day I was w » aried—and 1 beheld the approach of night with abhorr&nce . Under th « se circumstance * of unqualified affliction , I journeyed upwards of ninety miles t » have a consultation with you . I need not Bay how sooa you were aware of my appalling situation , tke anxiety you manifested in accomplishing my rtlief , or of the con £ dsn » e with whita you spoke « f my recovery .

      You directed me a packet of your invaluable medicines , and by perseverance in following your directions , and with the blessing of Prsvidence . a wonderful cure has been completely effected , and I am now , in every sense of the word , beoome m new man ! I transmit tki 9 account for tho benefit of others who may , unfortaoately , b « plaeea in a situation of similar wretchednass . You may omit my residence , but if asked far , you are at liberty to give it . —Remaining , Sir , with every Bentiment of regard , yours truly , Chakles Newton .

      To Mr . La'Mert , 21 , Falkner-street , Manchester . Mr . La'Mert is to be oongnlted every day , at his residence , from nine in the mcrning till ten at night , and on Sundays from nine till two ; and patients in the remotest parts of the coontiy may d « treated successfully on transmittilg their report , wkioh will be immediately answered ; theirletters must minutely describe the case , and contain a remittance for advice and medicine , which can be forwarded to any part of the world , however distant .

      Stormy Times.

      STORMY TIMES .

      ( From the World , a Dublin paper . ) The last few days have been stormy—storm in the court , and storm in Parliament—tempest at sea , and hurricane upon land . An assassination epidemic , caught from a French infection , has seized the Euglish , while our miserable countrymen are boisterous with tho pangs of hunger . What think you , reader , of the attempted assassination of the Queen , by Oxford , the quondam pot-boy of the Hog in the Pound ? You regret "it—so do we . and so we hope will every innividual with a well-regulated mind . But have you wept at the calamity ! have

      you went to bed supperless with tearl ' ul eyes—and has your household been darkened by the gloom of a murky melancholy ? Answer us this at once , and behold ! a loud "No , " issues from three thoasand smiling faces , which wa trust will long continue to smile . The thing was undoubtedly a very dreadful affair ; but it was just such a one as unfortunately happens now and then , and will be likely to happen so loDg as the world whirls round . Queens and princes are no more in the eyea of Him who watches the fall , of a sparrow , than the humblest hind who labours'in the field . We cannot , iiko some of our London contemporaries ,

      " Hew out a huge monument of pathos , As Philip ' s sou proposed to do with Athos ;" and really to read the lucubrations of all the courtly Bcribes , you would think that they adored the reigning Monarch like unto a Deity , and could never be brought to scribble the same praises for another Sovereign , if he or she Bhould climb the throne while they held the pen . But ( he scribes of the press have been left far behind by the parasites of other proiessions , and the Thespian corps have not been distanced by their neighbours , as will be seen by the following stanzas , which savour a little of blasphemy , cnaunted at iJrury Lane Theatre : — " God save the Queen . '—all thonghts apart—This crowning joy fills ev ' ry mind ! She sits within the nation's heart , An angel shrined ! There , very happiness to lure ,

      To light it yet with glory ' s aheen—To glad tho rich , to bless the poor—God saved the Queen !" "Loyalty , " says Swift , "has been the foible of the , Irish , " and we have now Radical , Whig and Tory , * uniting in pouring forth thanksgivings for the happy escape of Queen Victoria , and her youthful husband . The Ex-Sheriff Qnintou , and Mr . Thompson , the butcher , bellow forth upon one side , and Mr . Reynolds and Mr . Arkins upon the other ; and we have no wish to do anytbiDg else than admire their devotion to the throne . A question arises which is worthy of consideration , and that is , was Oxford employed by any party to destroy the Queen ! From all we can learn we should say ha was not : indeed

      the Ministerial papers give a nut contradiction to any such rumour . The Tories may be partial to King Ernest , but it must be remembered that when Mr . Hume brought forward his motion to deprive his Hanoverian Majesty of his pension , the official Whigs warmly opposed it , and defeated him . Many humane persons think that Oxford is afflicted with monomania , wliich gives him a peculiar relis for destroying Sovereigns , and ascending , the scaffold . . There may be sumo truth in- * 4 hi 8 , and when we reflect upon tho number ef persons who jumped from the Monument , not long ago , as if it were merely a piece of amusement , one is disposed to lend BOzne credence to the «

      upposition . _ In a place nke the British Metropolis , where an immense population are huddled together , with vast disparity of rank , and temporal happiness —where profusion and penury meet- each other daily—it is . not wonderful that the wretched often very unjustly regard the wealthy as their natural enemies . As yet Queen Victoria has been merely a piece of pageantry in the hands of her MiLifltcis , and we believe she has said or done little deserving of popular applause . To feast the aristocracy , and attend theatres and race-grounds , aie well enough in their way , but to really gain the love of millions , Ehe mustmmgle with the people , and at least appear to feel for their distresses , and manifest a desire to see them alleviated .

      Ait Anti-Corn Law Lecturer . —A correspondent writes us from Choriey that they have been favoured with a visit from a gentleman named Har ;; reavee- , who represented himself as a Yorkshireman , employed by the Com Law League , at a salary of £ 100 a year , that he had given twenty-one lectures , and had put to route all opposition from the Chartists ; and that be had at different times sent challenges to r eargus O'Connor , but Feargus O'Conuor dufat not meet him . This formidable emissary of the " League" was encountered at Choriey , by a weaver who sometimes snperadds the nigh : barrow to the shuttle , and bj whom the " learned Theban" was , we understand , " pitched" in good stylo .

      Thk Labours of the Session . —Lord Stanley , the other night , sated in his place in Parliament that the busim-s . s of the session was now nearly finished ; and certainly strange as the information may appear , when we look at the length of time which has passed ni : \ ce the august aud patriotic body commenced its sittings—we muat soon look forward to a termination of its not very valuable labours . What has been done ? Something for the Binecurist and placeman—nothing for the bulk of the suffering people . Taxation has been increased ; no useful reform has been accomplished . Our Ministers are satisfied to send up bills from the CommoBS and have them thrown out of the Lords , and then depart to Downing-street to chuckle over the do-nothing farce which keeps them in office . —World .

      Q 01 CK Work by the Railway . —On one of the days of Leuton Pair , two gentlemen travelled by the railway from Derby , with the avowed intention of visiting the fair , but on arriving at Nottingham , one of them walked up into the town , and the other declared his design of proceeding to Lenton . Shortly afterwards , however , the former came back to tho atation-nouse , and stated that hie pocket had been picked during the journey of three £ 10 notes , and very naturally inquired whether any one had seen his travelling associate . It was ascertained that he

      had started by the return train to Derby a shore time previous to the application ; but an engine being in readiness , the plundered man was secured in the tender , and away they started for the supposed thief At the turn of the railway , near the Derby station , the train was overtaken , the « ugine having performed the distance in seven minutes and a half . Information was given to the police of the occurrence , and , on alighting from the carriage , the gentleman was promptly secured , with the stolen notes in his possession . What has becomo of him since jmiham not been able to leaxn .- ^ Nbltinuhairi Mereurp .

      Suicide a . nd Socialism . —It is our firm belief that the increase of suicide in this country in to a oertain extent to be traced to the atrocious doctrines promulgated with so much zeal by the sect of modern infidels who falsely denote themselves " Socialists " —a class whose opinions are subversive of all morality and Christianity , and which sap the foundaH tions of fociety itself . It ia natural-to expect , when such principles of infidelity are inculcated—when men are taught to believe in the non-existenoe of a God , and to consider they are not accountable agents , and are under the operation of an organisation over which they have no contronl , that they should look with philosophio indifference oh euioide , and consider it as a justifiable mode of putting an end tothemiBery and wretchedness engendered by their own opinion . Such doctrines must of necessity be productive of ereat evil to societv . and 'it

      beconw * die duty of every Christian and wellwisher to his fellow-men to hold them up to reprobation . The opinions of Owen strike at the ' root of all order and of all virtue , social and public , and break down every barrier of law and restraint , making the passions the only standard of right and wrong—the animal appetites the only test of virtue and vice . —Wintlow ' e Anatomy 0 / Smcidt . Lbttkbs from Galez of the 31 st ult . state , that Russia was then about to pour three armies , at three different points , upon the coast of Circassia , in order to overwhelm by numbers the brave mountaineers . Ten thousand men had then embarked at Odessa , and it was supposed that in a week or two after the above date , the Circassians would have to recommence the war against forty thousand Russians , who by that time would have Ian . ed on their coast . To the Emperor of Russia nothing is to cheap as human life . He can aflbrd to lose army after army , without a thought of desisting iroai ' his first scheme oi conquest .

Binns took his station in a square , where there could be no " obstruction , " and had addressed a numerous , peaceable , and attentive audience for half an hour before " a little brief authority" became apprised of the meeting , and even then we believe there was considerable delay occasioned by ihe policeman refusing to brtak the law without the magistrate broke it along with him . The consequence was , that Mr . Meerhurst was obliged to head his police , and take the responsibility on his own shoulders . He was soon on

      the spot , and he had not besn there a minute , before he ordered the polico to clear the square . Mr . Binns then went to the magistrate , and asked him where the law was which made it illegal to meet there . He said that " he would not have Chartism brought into Staindrop . " But , replied Mr . Binns , if you keep it out of the streets you cannot keop it out of the houses . "I'll tell you what , Binns . " replied the magistrate , " if I possibly can get hold of you I will . There , now ! readers , what think you of Parson Meerhurst , Justice Meerhurst , Church and State Meerhuret ? Here is a magistrate and a priest avowing , in the face of Mr . Binns , that if he " possibly" can gethold of him he will . "Can possibly !"

      not legally , not rightly , not morally , but " poBsibly , " without any qualification , any means , any how , by "hook or by crook , " by fair means or foul , " possibly , " that way which is firat , whether it is right or whether it is wrong-. " be will . " What ^ oes this mean ? Conspiracy , dark , foul , malignant conspiracy against the Queen ? Oh no , but conspiracy for all tha ] t , conspiracy against George Binns , a subject of the Queen , loyally attached to her virtues , loyally opposed to her c ' dstliness and powers . Right Reverend Parson ! if you haW in the withered heart you carry in your breast one solitary , repentant tear , in God ' s name , let it moisten this sentence aa you read it : —

      " An injury done to the meanest subject , Is an insult offered to the whole community . " You dispersed the peeting ^ but you have got the Northern Star into Staindrop , and you shall have more of them yet , or yeur name is not Parson Meerhurst—Correspondent . Walsingham . —Mr . Binns held the largest meeting that has ever been held in this place , on Sunday last . He addressed the people on Walsingham Batts fer an bour and a half , aud was listened to with the deepest attention . It appears that an attempt had been made a few days previous to getr up a meeting , to consider what stops should be taken to prevent Mr . Binns coming to Walsingham , but lo and behold ! when the meeting was assembled , Mr . Binns had more friends

      than enemies , and the Chairman , Mr . Coghill , and a few others , had to content themselves with advising all those who wished to be considered respectable men , to stop away . The effect of these wiseacrw' advice was exactly tho reverse of what they wished ; all the respectable folks came , and all the low blackguards kept away . The Weardale farmers , the fine old English gentlemen , were not to be completely bamboozled aud led by Blue Miller , with his glazed hat and bright buttons . One of them was observed remarking , as be came out of the secret meeting ( called by the authorities without specifying the nature of it ) "John , we mun come dawn on Sunday and hear this chap , ho mun be sunimat extra or thore'd be noan of this wark about him . "

      Bishop Auckland—We had a serious affray between the polico and some of the navigators living near Witton , last week . The squabble originated in a drunken fight , and one of tho police and a constable were so dreadfully beaten that little hopes were entertained for their recovery . The police having been mustered from Darlington , Bishop Auckland , and the rural districts , some of the rioters were apprehended and taken to Bishop Auckland . There evidently was some fears at an attempt to rescue them , for we hear that they were token round by Etherloy , to avoid the men on the railways , who , if they had known , would probably have made an attempt , for the polico are becoming a most unpopular force . The Chartist Camp Meeting . —There is to be a meeting on the Bishop Auckland Batts to-morrow , ( Sunday ) when we understand several strangers will be present

      THORNABt GREEK . —At eight o ' clock Mr . Binns will - visit this place on Friday evening next , when we hope the spirited men of Stockton trill do their duty . Mr . Binns will meet bis friends in Stockton Marketplace , at seven O ' clock on Friday evening , and proceed from there to the Green .

      IOANCHESTER . ADJOURNED MEETING OF DELEGATEa The adjourned meeting of delegates was held in the Committee lioom , No . y , Whittle-street . Delegates from twelve different districts were present , some of whom bad not sent delegates to any previous meeting . Others who had formerly attended were unavoidably detained . ., ;; TJie Chairman read tho report of last meeting , which , was unanimously approved of . He assured tbe meet , ing their constituents were perfectly satisfied with wha'i ' had been done . ¦'

      The circular for the establishing of a national press was then read , on which there seemed to be but one opinion , namely , that although the plan was good , it was unnecessary , as they all approved of the Northern Star , as an organ of the Chartist body , that journal being ever ready to insert their communications , make their grievances known to the world , and advocate their principles boldly and fearlessly . It was also the opinion that the proposition was extremely ill-timed , viz . the very time that noble of nature , the proprietor of the people ' s polar Sfar , was , by the tender mercies of a Wuig reformed Parliament , immured in a dungeon for advocating their principles . The delegates , therefore , were determined not to disgrace themselves by committing such an act of ingratitude : for they felt confident that if they were fease enough to do so , it would hurt the feelings of their esteemed friend . Mr .

      O'Connor , more than all the privations be was doomed to endure . Some thought the whole smelled strongly of a Whig plot ; and , as to tracts , there was a tract society about to bo established in Nevrcastlo-upon-Tyne ; and there was a valuable and cheap tract published at Glasgow , namely , the Chartist Circular , price one halfpenny , which had a circulation of above twenty thousand , sod was progressing rapidly . It was stated that no copies of tbe Circular bad found their way into this quarter as yet . but measures would immediately be adopted to remedy that evil . The delegates present , when ' consulting their constituents as to the nuiuber required , might communicate with the Central Committees , or Mr . Kiehardson , bookseller , Solford ; or perhaps it would be more proper to say Mrs . Richardson at present , she being bo widowed by Wbiggery , afl Mr . Richardson is "indurance vile . "

      Tbe case of our suffering brethren waa then taken into consideration , together with , all the disagreeable circumstances connoted with it , namely , the law . expensvs , bail bonds , traverse fees , fccv , for which some of the bravest of the brave were likely to suffer alurtber ; imprisonment . M'Douall and , < t $ enhow , or their friends who so nobly came forward as their security , are to have law proceedings commenc ^ sl against them tf tnelr expenses are not settied immediately . Tile public , more especially ia those districts who have -nopri . Bohers to support , were strongly recommeuJwl to take the matter into consideration with all possible speed .

      The follow ing is a list of m » ntes paid by the delegates , in pursuance of a resolution agreed to at the meeting of June 7 th , but inadvertently omitted in our report of that date , namely—Rochdale , 2 s . 6 d . ; Oldham , 2 . 8 . 6 d . ; Huline , 2 a . 6 d . ; Whittle-street Branch , 2 s . 6 d . ; Salford , 2 s . Cd . ; Ratciiffe , 2 s . Od . ; Opeushaw and Droylsden , 2 s . Gd ; and Hyde , 2 s . 6 d . Mr .

The Chartist missionaries gave aa account of their mission , which gave every satisfaction .

      , TLe following missioiiiirus were then appointed , viz :: Mr . Leach , at Rochdale , June the 30 th , at half-past seven o ' clock in the evening ; Stookport , July the 1 st , at ten . o'clock in the ovening . Mr .

The following resolutions and address vrtre then unanimously agreed to : —

      1 . " Thatwe , the delegates o « w assembled , express our difiseut from the plan proposed by Mr . Burns to establish a national press , for we are of opinion that the Northern Star answers all the purposes of a national pi-ess , find ought to receive the support of all true friends of universal liberty . The proprietor of that paper has devoted , in a praiseworthy manner , his tranficenuent talents and ' 'fortune to advance the cause we are Hut to advocate , ami we aw , therefore , of opinion , that the establishment of the above-mentioned press would bo aa injury to the Star , whii-li would be a great victory to the two factions who in >\ y oppress us .

      Countrymbn and Fellow-Serfs , —Having heartt that our patriotic and unflinching advocate P . Mac Douall , now confined in Chester Castle , is threatened with an arrest on his liberation from the Whig * dungeon , as a debtor for law expenses incurred for the defence and traverse fees of the Ashton Chartists , in August , 1839 , and for which he stands responsible , we censider it our duty to call your attention to hia hard case , and to aak you , " Shall the man who so nobly forgot or disregarded his" Own interests in the intensity of his devotion to your cause , who was one of the first bravely , fearlessly ; and honestly to stand np to defend your rights and oxposo your wrongs in the face of your oppressors and his prosecutors , bearding the lion

      in his own den , setting the example to andstimulating the truth-loving , tyrant-hating ; band of gallant spirits , who emulated his virtuous daring , and turned the courts of exclusive law persecution into meetings of Chartist agitation , and for which they and him' are now suffering all the cruel indignities which malignant ingenuity can invent , or defeated or baffled malice inflict—shall this noble of nature , who has dene , dared , and borne all this , who has stepped forth from the ranks of his own order , sacrificing all his present , and perhaps future , prospects for your sake , be left ai tbe mercy of a merciless law , and creditor lawyer ? " Justice forbids it . ' Gratitude and humanity , nay , even policy and common sense , forbid it also ! !

      The debt , we believe , is about j £ 20 , and We call upon the men of South Lancashire in particular , and the Chartists of EDgland in general , to come forward with their mite on this occasion , and show their enemies that ingratitude , at least , is not one of the many vices with which tbe masses are charged by those factious who lose no opportunity to demoralize their minds , depreciate their character , enslave their bodies , and ruin or destroy their friends and advocates ; and that , however much you may deprecate the employment of bothsided lawyers for tho future , you will not be slow to aid your friends to discharge , any of the debts , for defence of the Chartists , already incurred . The meeting then separated , all present , delegates and friends , seemiDgly highly pleased with what had been done .
