      SIMCO'S CHEMICAL ESSENCE OF LINSEED is , as every body says , the best and mist efficacious medicine in the . world for coughs , coids , asthmas , hoarseness ,. impeded respiratiop , difficult expectoration , florenesss or rawness . of the cbpst and stomach , consumptive cough , and pulmonary affections . —Asthmatic persons who have b ^ en cured by this essence , declare that pr ior to its use they had not been able to lie down in bed for twenty nights , on account of impeded respiration . It will be found invaluable to persons who are obliged to travel in tbe fogs and damp air ; and will cure children's coughs in two days . Its immense sale is a sufficient proof of its wonderful effects .

He hopes that the successfu l easy , " and expeditious mode be has adopted , of eradicating every ymptom of a Certain Disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yer prwerring the constitution in full vigour and free from injury , will establish his claims for support . A * 'this Disease is one which is HkeW to be contracted wheuever exposure take * place , it is not like maBT other visitors , once in life , but on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be irobihed , therefore the Practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat « aeh particular Case in * ueh a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the ? onstitunon nnimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can avail himself of the greatest improvement * in modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances . In the same manDer at birth , appearances often take jlice in children , which call fora proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to di * criminate their real nafire , and which may be tbe means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and rkiU . Patientt labouring under this Disease , cannot be too cautions into whose hand they commit themselves . Tbe propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested . "bv tbe same party frequently passing the ordeal of several Practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some « f the many symptoms that distinguish this Pisrase : —8 general debility , ernption ^ on the head , face , and body j ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swelling * in the neck , nodes on the shin hones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism , Sec , &c . Patient * in the country , by stating their cases and enclosing a remittance , may have proper remedies » ent to the amount , with directions nn jiirople and plain , that parties of either sex may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bedfellow .

      In cvxjetpience ef nurmrvu * application * continually received from Bradford and the Neighbourhood , one «/ the Proprietors x > f Dr . Henry ' s French Heroine Pills , will attend every Wednesday and Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , facing East Brook Chapel , Bradford . A TREATISE IS JUST PUBLISHED ON THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC DISEASES , AND GIVEN "WITH EACH BOX OF DR . HMRY'S FRENCH MER 0 INE PILLS , / CONTAINING plain and practical directions for tbe effectual cure of all degrees of the above com-\ J plaints^—with observations on seminal weakness arisingfroin early abuses , and the deplorable conseqaences resulting from the sse of mercury , the whole intended for the instruction of general readers , so that all persona can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor , at No . 16 , PARK "SQUARE , Leeds , ' where they may be consulted as usual . In Boxes , 2 s . yd . and 4 s . 6 d . each . "With each Box is given directioBs how to take these Pills , observations on points "beneficial to the patient , being hints worth knowing by those who are , or hav e been , sufferers from this dreadfal and devastating malady . . That cruel disease which has destroyed so many thousands is now unhappily so well known that a Tecital of its effects is quite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritance from family to family , and when tbe great DoctorHenry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable benefit upon mankind by tbe discovery of his grand panacea for the cure of this deplorable complaint . Thecertaiaty witi which the Pills are continually administered can be attested by many thousands who are ; annaally cured by them . What mediciae can he more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? Tbe French Pill * root out every particle of the insidious poigon , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove tbe disease but they renovate by their action the different func ions of the body—expelling the grosser humour , andin a manner so imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury Bor any other mineral , and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery m y they require no restraint pf diet , loss of time , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete cure without the least exposure to JDbe"patient . At any period when tbe . sligbtest suspicion may exist it will be well to have recourse to the French Pills ; for when taken before-the disease has made its appearance they act asa certain preventive , removing $ he complaint effectuall y and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons have been ¦ when visiting the Doctor ( from the u * e of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral whEainjudicionsly administered . The Doctor , after an extensive practice of Thirty Years , has rendered his counsel an object of the utmost . consequence to all who are labouring under hereditary or deep seated maladies ; to those troubled with seminal weakness , his advice will hit invaluable ; hundreds have owned his skill in these complaints . To the youth of both sexes , whetber lured from health by the promptings of passion , or the delurions of inexperenee , his zdrice is superior ; in his practice he unites a mild gentleness of treatment , and possessing « o thorough a knowledge of his art , the most deplorable cases afford no resistance to his skill . His extensive practice has rendered him the depository of many distressing secrets which are kept with unblemished iaith ana" honour j to persons so ^ afflicted , it p hi ghly necessary to obsert * thai as early application is of the . g _ reatest Importance , and that with such a practitioner any hesitation in disclosing their disorder , must amoun ftp ' a delicacy as destructive as it is false and unnecessary . To the neglect of such attention , are ataibutable many of those hapless instances , which , while they excite the commiseration of the beholder , should al « o impress him with tbe fear of self-reproach . To all such , then , we address ourselves , offering hope- ^ energy—m \ i * cnlar strength—felicity ; nor ought our advances to appear questionable , sanctioned as they ' are by , the multiplied proofs of thirty years' successful experience . Letters { post paid ) inclosing a remittance , answered by the return of post ' , and Medicines punctually transmitted toany address , either by jnitials , or name . Back entrance , West-Street , One Door from St . Paul ' B Church . ^ With eaek Box will be gi > en practical observations , gratuitously , on the ahove disease . The Doctor will attend daily at his principal residence , No . 16 , Park Square , from Eight in tbe morning till Ten at night , and on Sundny irom SSine till Two , where he will administer advice to any one tekinp these Pills , or any other of his Preparations , without i fee .

      'Colonel Moreau was tried by jury at Niagara , convicted , and sentenced to be hung on the 30 th ot August . The Court adjourned to the 1 st of August , when thirty more will be tried . George Cooley , un American , was tried and convicted of ttVOfOBi The Montreal papers contradict" the report that Lord Durham had declared himself in favour of a union of the provinces . A messenger , with despatches from his Lordship ,

      arrived in this city on Friday tight . last . The despatches will be forwarded by the Royal William . It was expected -that Lord Durham would shortly issue an ordinance ^ which has been some time in preparation , respecting the feudal tenure of the island of Montreal . The steamer Canada arrived at Montreal on Wednesday , with a regiment of Highlanders , equipped in the national uniform of da r k green texture . The plaided heroes attracted considerable attention on their arrival .

      The Toronto Patriot states , that Lord Durham has recommended the British Government to loan , from a fund which they hold for investment in public works , £ 250 , 000 in Welland canal stock : and i . ' 2 oO , 000 for the improvement of the St . Lawrence . A letter from Oswego says , that John G . Parker , John Montgomery , aud a dozen others , who were in irons at Port Henry , have made their escape and reached the United States . Moreau was hung at Niagara on the 30 th nit ., and Colonel Dodge died in prison at Quebec . ( From Mackenzie ' s Gazette . )

      Ecclesiastical Tyranny . —At length the craftv government of bitihops , lords , court ladies , pensioners , army contractor !* , tnx collector * , millionaires , and pimps ; who hold in their artful grasp the energies of England , have completely gained their obj ect of making the Catholic priesthood in Canada political engines of their system . Hitherto no court has declared to acknowledge the power of the Bishops to remove the priests or curates from one parish to another at pleasure . But now that despotism with its bayonets holds the sway , Lord Durham having the power to remove the whole court of King ' s Bench at pleasure , that servile body has hastened to decide in the way that would be most agreeable to tyrants , that the Roman Catholic bishops , who are installed by the Pouey on learning

      the pleasure of the English court , can harra . ss the curates at will , especially if they presume to love their country . Once installed , the head bishops are paid £ 4 , 1 ) 00 a year out of the proceeds of the taxes raised at Quebec , and are understood : to exercise all their influence to keep their clergy busy spreading loyalty , as Lartigue , bishop at Montreal , did last fall . By this decision , these bribed breling bishops will be . enabled to tell any liberal , good-hearted priest , who shows a latent friendship for his countrymen ' s rights , " Dare to be patriotic , and I will * n ) 'l you to Ant ' icosti , or some oiber poor and inhospitable curacy . " Of course the tithes in Lower Canada make some parishes very rich , while others are very poor . The bishops have thus in their hands rewards aud punishments .

      "Mjll there be War ? " —The National Laborer ( American Paper ) of July 21 st , in an excellent article under this heading , after paying various high compliments to Mackenzie , has the following : — " But now we have a . word , not unimport nt perhaps , to say to our Spirited brother of Cunada , and through his columns , to the Canadian Peoplewhether now sheltered within our borders , or still harassed and bleeding beneath the scourge of British dominion . The wings of the great Eagle die

      outspread to shelter , beyond the reach offbreigu injury , every son and daughter of humanity ; but that great Eagle , —fierce and tremendous as he will be found if sought in his own eyrie , —goes not forth to revenge the wrongs of any people . In his neutrality—in his forbearance — have been , and now ; are , treasured the hopes and future happiness of the world . Let the false British Leopard ( true emblem of British Government ) rampage and roar , Or whine and play all its antic tricks before heaven and before

      manibe days of its life are numbered . War—War , Mackenzie , there is ( we answer your question ;) although it be not of the sword . A fierce and a decisive war there is in which the United States expend what is more rare if less costly than the blood of tbeir people . They expend the expentnee of all past ages and prepare ? n example for all the future . Let the huge Babylon rack her brains and her entrails in efforts to sustain her failing empire . For your people —let them play Quaker at home ( would they could have done it through the past twelve months and spared the horrors of St . Eustacbe and

      the defeat of Toronto )—Let I hem play Quaker , we say at home , or come here . Nothing is to be gained by fighting with bullies , ( we say ithis to our Democrats ia Congress . ) Every thing is to be lost by fighting with the trained and Hired legipus of a government which lives upon the sweat and the gore of the people of the earth . ( We say this to the patriots of Canada , and to our own sympathising border population . ) A little more patience , sufferiog people of all nationB I and if the Monster move , it will effect its own death , if it stand still , it . will be Starved .

      London , in the precise style of those which , filled with British slang and paid with the notes of the British agent , Mr * Biddle , inundate our whole country , and make the tour of the world in the trading ships of British and Federal commerce !

      Dreadful Hurricane . —We copy from the correspondence of the Morning Herald , the following account of a dreadful hurricaue experienced in the Turkish capital on the 27 th uit .:- — " We had a dreadful gale of wind here , which set in so suddenly , and came on with such fury , that a great many boats and lives were lost . I hear that upwards of 130 bodies have already been washed ashore on the coast of the Marmora alone . The lightning was of the most awful description , and was so Bear that it was smelt distinctly by a great many peopled Buildings in elevated situations were struck , ; several individuals were killed ; and many more knocked down in a state of insensibility , -y ' . A guard , who was "¦ standing at ease" under the tower of Shiloh , had bis musket - shivered ( the bayonet bad attracted the

Trees were converted into splinters , one house in Pern was set on fire , and when it was broken open to extinguishI the flames , all the inhabitants were found lying insetsible , but not dead . They recovered , and' the fire wai readily got under . The wind was so resist * less ^ that tiles were see n flying about like leaves in an autumnal gale . It was dangerous to be in the street .

      AMERICA . United States-Bank Bonds . — . The PhiladelphiaXJnited States Gazette assigns five reason ? why the , IJiiited States Bank bonds , to the amount of between four and five millions of dollars , now in the hands of the Government are not likely to find purchasers at par , arid under par they are not by the Act permitted to be sold . These reasons in brief are—1 . That as they cannot be sold under par , they cannot by any possibUity yield more than 6 percent , interest , which is the rate they bear . 2 ; The investment is too short—not more than an average of

      eighteen months . 3 . If sent abroad , the shortness of the investment would be decisive against them . 4 . They are liable to offsets on the ; part of the bank . 5 . They may be paid in the engagemente of the Government itself ; for instance , a Treasury draft on Florida or Arkansas . A sixth reason , which might have been added , is , that Mr . Biddle keeps the market full of bonds equally good in other respect * , and which bear seven per cent ., interest Monied men can have these at par ; why then should they take 6 per cent , bonds of the same bank at par ? THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND THE UNITED STATES BANK BONDS . ( From the Philadelphia United States Gazette . ) We find in the National Gazette of yesterday afternoon the subjoined paragraph : — " it is rumoured that the bond of the Bank of the United States , due in 1839 , for two millions of dollars , has been sold by the Treasury department , at par , to Charles Macalester , Esq ., of this city . " The above tumour , we are happy to say , is well founded . The same offer was made for the bond due in 1840 , for a like amount , but declined , tbe Secretary of the Treasury not having decided that the public exigencies will require its sale .

      intelligence an express has been forwarded to tbe President at Nacodoches .

The Comanches have been committing depredations near San Antonio , Texas . The seUlers are leaving their plantations and removing to the towns . ¦ "' ¦¦ '

      INTERNAL ST ^ TE ; PRUSSIA . " ^ Berlin , August ' ,: 15 J—SeriboV , apprehension * of * dearnesi of victuals , bordering on fa-mine are ^ expressed by pur couritKy pgojae ^ the crops havW been spoiled in great measure by the rains . Tta is an additional gloomy feature in the picture , by no means exhilarating ^ which our ^^ concerns ^ actuall ^ present . The distress of the proving bordering ou Poland , the opppsitipn of the Cathoh ' e cler « T to ¦

      government , spreading like wildfire ^ from the wert to the east , the increasing di scontent of those Protestants who refuse to join the union , preferring selfbanishment to what they call an aduheration of pure LutberisHi : these , and a good many ptber things , are calculated to make one ' s heart heavy the more so , as little or no profpect is held Pat of a speedy relief ; for as to the distressed provinces we are as distant as ever from the chance of obtaini

      ing any commercial concessions from our friendly ally of the North . As to Stbe opposition of the Catholic clergy , it begins to aissunje a cbarketer which , in my opinion , renders it more dangerou » than open rebellion ^—I mean that of passive resistance ; for , if any mode of behaviour is apt to infect and fanaticize tbe multitude , it is the one denoted . Lastly , as to the discontent of the Separatists . I am told , on good authority ^ that no less than from 50 , 000 to 60 , 000 inhabitants of some of the old provinces are ready to emigTa ' te , if they obtain permissiom , purely from this cause , that they wish to be allowed to serve God according to the dictates not of the State , but of their own consciences *
