THE CORDIAL BALM OP SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed ta the cure ot such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from byphiltio disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights whioh nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a oue carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but . without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty 1 How manyat eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself I the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiuf S 3 ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the euro ot those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACP W which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions ,, have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervaus system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakae&i , total impoteocy , barrenness , &o . , As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution * , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to . be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastiags , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cages of syphilis , fipe , head-ache , weakness , heaviness asd , townees of epiiivs , dimness of sight , contused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Stebility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softoiog tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole apimal machine , and remove the usual impedimcut to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Mateimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstainped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price 1 Is . each , or the quantity of four in one Family bottle for 333 ., by which one 11 s . bottle is , saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ., Surgeons , 44 , Albion-street , LeedB , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Observe , none are genuine without the signature of R . & L .

      BRADFORD—Attempted Assassination . — On Thursday night , the 9 th instant , an attempt was made to ahoot Messrs . C . and E . Waud , worsted manufacturers , of Bradford , as they were leaving the mill in Portland-street , about six o ' clock . The party who fired the pistol stood within four yards of them : the ball only just missed the top of Mr . C . Wand ' s shoulder , and was picked up the next morning , having struck against the wall , and fallen down by the side of it . No clue whatever iB known as to who is the guilty party .

      Alarm op Fire . —On Friday afternoon , about three o ' clock , the ringing of the fire bell alarmed the inhabitants and the fair goers , and on the whereabouts being announced , an immense crowd hastened up Mannin ^ ham-lane . The scene of the fire was on the premises of Mrs . Atkinson , widow of the late Mr . Atkinson , bookseller , of this town , and situate in Spring-gardens . The origin of the fire is yet involved in mystery , for when diseovered it was in the centre of a bed , in a chamber in which no fire had been , to . Mrs . A . ' s knowledge , during the day . On ^ the arrival of the Commissioners' engine , some individuals were engaged in forcing the bed through ihe chamber window into the garden below , and there did not appear at that moment any necessity

      for its employment . Having , however , found water in the cistern , the firemen prepared for operation , and in a few minutes commenced throwing water in at the chamber window ; whilst this was going on , some individaals ascended the roof , and , under the impression that the fire was in the false roof or oockioft , began to pull off the slates , but it was discovered that there was no fire there , and the engine ceased to play . The smoke arising from the burning bed led to the idea that more fire existed than really did , and the bed being got rid off , the smoke cleared away . Mr . John Sugden , brother to Mrs . Atkinson , remained on the premises during the night , and felt satisfiedthat no fireexisted in any part ot the dwelling ;

      but what renders the circumstance the more Mysterious and singular , on Saturday morning a fire broke out again in the closet or wardrobe , where , daring the night , no fire could be detected in the slightest degree . This was speedily overcome ; but the accompanying oircumstances are yet not accounted for . —Daring the previous evening nothing was missed as havicg been stolen or taken away out a silver watch ; but after the fire in the morning , it was discovered that some silk dresses and a long boa were also gone . The police have since investigated the premise ? , and some suspicious marks have been discovered , which suggests the supposition that some person had been concealed on the premises . Strange rumours are afloat , but beyond this nothing is certainly known .

      tEEDS . —Stealing Coals—On Saturday last , a youth named William Cenroy , was charged before the Borough Magistrates with having at various times , but particularly on the day previous , stolen a quantity of coals from the corves on the tram road at trie Leeds coal siaith , the property of Mr . Brandling , of Middleton Hall . The offence was proved by two or three witnesses , who each saw the lad take the coals , and he was committed lor trial . Damage . —On Saturday last , an old offender and poacher , named Emanuel Potts , was summoned to appear at the Court House , for having wilfully cut down and destroyed a young beech tree , growing in *> plantation , the property of Christopher Beckett , Esq . The defendant did not appear to the summons , and the case having been proved , he was fined £ 5 , costs included ; in default of payment he will go for two months to Wakefield .

      Committal . —We stated last week , that the shop of Mr . Cookson , plumber , &c , of Chapeltown , had been robbed of a quantity of tools , brass taps , &c . Part of the property was during the week found at the shop of Mrs . Allen , in Marsh-lane , who said it had been sold to her by a young man whom she described , and who was subsequently apprehended by the police . His name is John Craren Fielder ; he was brought up at the Court-house , on Saturday , and committed for trial .

      Embezzlement . —On Tuesday last , John Crossland , ot Stanningley , was fined by the borough magistrates , at the Court House , . £ 20 and costs , tor having been found in possession of a quantity of white warp slubbing , supposed to have been stolen from the premises of Messrs . Walsh and Paget , of Yeaion Gill . In default of payment , he wbb committed to Wakefield for one month . The property was so disfigured as to destroy all chance of identity , though there is no doubt it waspaxt of that stolen .

      Robbery . —On Tuesday afternoon , the dwelling house of Abraham Crowther , of Al wood ley , was entered by thieves , who stole a silver pint , cream jug , and six tea spoons , marked A . E . C ., two pairs of sugar tongs , and a table spooa , not marked , five tea spoons , marked G . S . N ., and £ 2 5 s . in money . The robber j is supposed to have been committed by two navigators , who left the waterworks on Saturday night , and who have been lodging with Crowther for some lime . WAKEFIELD .-Stabbing Cash . —On Monday last , William Beaumont , of Nether Shitlington , labourer , was brought up at the Court House , Wakefield , before the Rev . E . H . Brooktbank , and J . F . Carr . Esq ., charged with cutting and stabbing John

      MANCHESTER . —Another Encroach hem : ; upon the Labousi > g Class . —Last week a scheme , was introduced at oue of the largest cotton mills in r this town . A number of females were employed on ¦ - sinale frames formerly , bu ; now they have coupled

      them together , and thus compelkd one woman to perform double work for the same money , and for every frame thns altered a female had to be discharged . Those left , finding that more work had been put npon them , determiDed to ask the master for more money , who , by way of reply , asked them how they could forshame thisk of such a thing as expect eren a sixpence . At anoiher mill they have discovered a plan to clean under and about the spinning frames , thus doiiig away witn the scavengers . It is Faid that this has been resorted to because under the late " Factory Act , " they were compelled to give them education . The result of the scheme being brought into full operation , ha 3 betn the cause of a large number of boys being drivea into the streets , improvements are daily going on .

HTJIiZi . —The operative masons of Hull , lately in the employ ef Messrs . Myres and Wilson , have struck in defence of their rigbt 3 . On the 6 : h of November , their wages were reduced to meet the shortness of the days ; and now they are wanted to work all the day-light there is , for three-quarters of a day , which is , at this time of the year , a full day , according to the custom of the trade . The threequarters of a day would only be at the rate of four days and a- half per week , eo , by such reduction of time , they would only have 18 =. per week , a reduction of Eix ebillingB per week in their weekly wages .

Peter Tromhle , painter , Baxton Road , was found in an alarming state of illness ; and after being put to bed , a surgeon was sent for , to

      whom the confessed that she had that morning been delivered of a child , which she had left in the privy . Search was immediately made , but no trace of the body could by any possibility be discovered . The affair coming to the knowledge of the police , Mr . Jonathan Leech went to take the young woman into custody , but finding her in such an exceedingly weak state , he , by the ad > ice of the surgeon , deferred for a short time her apprehension . However , on Sunday morning her friends had the yoRng woman conveyed away , and the authorities are now at fault as to her place of concealment .

      Robberies . —Very numerous are the petty robberies that take place in this neighbourhood during the prevailing darkness of night , indeed it is not so much to be wondered at , as regretted , seeing poverty spreads itself first around the district that is said to be the mother of crime . On Monday night last , some person or persons broke into a whitesmith's jhop ol T . Turner , and took therefrom a large bunch of skeleton keys ; and last night , the cellar of Mr . Crowther ' s house , at Fixby , was entered , and large quantities of wine , spirits , asd victuals of various kinas , was taken away . Conndering the masses thai are out of emyloy , and their desire to live so long as they can poesibly obtain food , tbo greatest wonder id that there are eo few , which proves one thing in favour of the working classes , viz . that they hare a greater desire to work than to rob .
