      MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT , 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . IT may be stated as a fact , that there is no disease which has demanded more , or received less , sttentinn from the Medical Profession generally , than Lues Venera . From this cause alone , it ia allowed to sweep away hundreds of viotims annually , fty the application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of every hundred of these might be saved . But to attain thiB , u is neoiSsary that a Medical Praontioner should devote bis time almost exclusively to the consideration of this most insidious and- dangerous disease . It appears under so many varied forms , aud assumes so many different aspeois , that nothing but constant experience can enable even the most devoted student to detect and eradicate it . When a Medical Man abandons the general practice of the Profession , and devotes his studies entirely to this particular branch , then he at once looses aste , and is branded bv bis colleagues as a Quack . In den ' ance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ., Beg to state that they continue to apply all their knowledge and : experience to the eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happiness which they have been the means of restoring ' to thousands who would , in all probability , b >* e otherwise sunk , prematurely into the grave . This Establishment has now been open upwards of seven years , during whioh period , thousands of cases have been treated , and in no one instasce has the patient been disappointed of an < ffectual cure . In most insianees , a few days have sufficed to eradicate the Disease ; but where the disorder has been allowed to make Berioas inroads by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily been required to comulete the cure . W . and Co ., know of no instance where any establishment devoted to the care of the ssnia class of disease , has maintained so long a standing , whioh mast be regarded as a conclusive proof of their integrity and ability . Long exp&rieace baa enabled them to produoe a remedy which is applicable to almost every stage of the disease . Their PURIFYING DHOPS Have been used in thousands of cages , and with the most signal jucvfbb . Perhaps no -Medicine was ever offered to the Public , which has been bo effioacious

"The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity . suffering and disoase , faithfully delineated iu this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yec friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , ia confided thocare of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that ^ information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the oxciusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , aud ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare oi mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate &nd secret indulgence ia certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . " —The Planet . "The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas os Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have-not exposed the evil without affording a , remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his follow man , can rogain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceived by the outward physical appearance of thoir youthful offspring ; howtheattenuationofthe frame , palpitationofthe neart , derangement of the nervous system , cou ^ h , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption Or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell ' s Neio Weekly Messenger " Although a nowspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in iany instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance .

      THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD !!! BEAD ! AND JUDGE FOB YOURSELVES ! 1 THE following statement of facts has been communicated to the Proprietors of PARR' LIFE PILLS :-Messrs . T . Roberts and Co . Malton , Jan . 30 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —Though it is but a very short time since I last wrote for a supply of Parr ' s Life Pills , I find that owing to an astonishing increase in the sale of them , I am again compelled to request you to send me twenty dozen of the small , as also a supply ofthe large size . I should wish you to forwardthem by railway to York , thence by carrier , as early as possible , as I am afraid my present stock will be exhausted before they reach me . I enclose you tha case of & parson who resides in Mstton , and whose testimony may be relied upon as being striotly correct . This is but one case selected from an almost incredible number of others , which have come under my notice , in which cures have been effected by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Many highly respectable persons in tnis neighbourhood , who previous to the introduction of Parr ' s Life Pills had a decided dislike to Patent Medicines , are now thankful that they are able to add their testimonials to the beneficial effeets of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , the quantity of pills as ordered above , you will oblige , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , J . WRANGHaM . Gentlemen , —When I consider the very great relief 1 have experienced from the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to you but to rvery one who may be suffering from similar complaints with which I have been afflicted , to make my astonishing case as publio as possible . For a long time past I have been greatly troubled with a most severe nervous compiaint , giddiness , and swimming in the head , which increased to such a degree that at times I was compelled to leave off from my work , being unable to bear the least fatigue or excitement . At the suggestion of many of my friends , I was induced to try various medicines , but found that my complaint instead of diminishing , was daily growing worse . Having fortunately heard of the beneficial offects of Parr ' s Life Pills , I resolved to give them a fair trial , though 1 must confess with bat little hopes of deriving benefit from them , after having tried so many other medicines without snecess ; I immediately purchased a small sized box of Mr . Wrahgham , chemist , the only agent for the sale of them in Malton , and fortunate indeed has it been for me that I did so , for though I have just finished taking this one box , I find myself so far relieved that instead of daily , nay hourly ,. suffering from that dreadful complaint , nervousness , with its attendant miseries , I am restored to my former good health ; ^ my nerves are strong—the giddiness and swimming in my head are totally removed , and I am now able to attend regularly to my trade . Allowing you to make whatever use you may think proper of this statement and eling truly grateful for the benefit I have obtained from taking Parr ' s Life Pills . I am , Gentlemen , your obedient Servant , THOMAS PATTISON , Painter . N . B .. I shall be glad to answer any enquiries respecting the good the pills have done mo . To Mr- T . Roberts and Co ., Crane Court , Fleetstreet , London . A most extraordinary Case of Cure communicated , by Mrs . Moxon of York . Mrs . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It originated iu her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking -of the result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable advantage which she haa already derived from them . She further states that she is now almost well , and ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign : medicine Parr ' B Life Pills . From Mr . R . Turner , Lewton . To Messrs . T . Roberts & Co ., Crane Court , Fleet-Btreet , London . Lenton , near Nottingham , Deo . 12 , 1842 . Dear Sir . —1 beg leave to tender you my warmest thanks for the great benefit whioh I have recieyed "from your valuable Pair ' s Life Pills in the cure of a distressing species of fluttering , or palpitation of the heart , which I experienced some years , and which has now , by the use of three small boxes of your invaluable medicine , entirely left me ; sod indeed , I now enjoy better health and spirits than I have done for some time . Hoping you will , for the benefit of the publio at large , make my case known , I remain , Geatlemen , yours , very gratefully , RICHARD TURNER . N . B . —Any person who may not credit this statement may , by referring to me , obtain satisfactory answers to their enquiries . R . T . From F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon . Jaffra , October 17 th , 1842 . Sir , —I beg to inform you that having undertaken the small supply of the celebrated Parr's Life Pills , lately received Here from you by the Rev . P . Percival , they have met with a very rapid sale , and the constantly increasing demand from every part of the province ensures to a very large extent success to the dealer , and good to the people at large . May I theiefore take the liberty of requesting you will be good enough to send me 1000 boxes by the very first opportunity , making , if you please , the usual discount to purchasers of such large quantities . I beg to remark that the value of the above will be given by me into the hands ofthe Rev . Mr . Percival , who has kindly offered to be responsible to you for the same . I remain , your obedient ervant . F . MATTHEISZ . lease address me F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills , Crane-Court , Fleet-street . Communicated by Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . East Stratton , near Winchester , Dec . 13 th , 1842 . Sir , —You will remember I sent to jour shop for a bottle of medicine round which was a paper containing testimonials of cures effected by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Amongst many others I observed one ; a case of Rheumatism , which appeared to me similar to my own case , and seeing it so success ully treated , simply by the use of Parr's Life Pills . I resolved upon giving that invaluable medicine a fair trial . I had been afflicted with Rheumatism many years , and at the time to whioh I refer was suffering acutely . I determined , as I have said , on giving Old Parr ' s remed y a fair trial ; and accordingly sent for a box of the Life Pills . By the use of these pills I am enabled to say that I am now as well at * ever I have been during the whole of my life . Thank God , I can now walk as well a 3 ever I did . At the time when I firat tried Parr ' s Life Pills , I could scarcely walk during the day-time ; and at night I could get no sleep . I am now enjoying excellent health , and sleep soundly , and I am free from pain of every kind . 1 am , Sir , yours , &c . JAMES DANIELLS . ( aged 50 years . ) Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . Parr ' s Life PHIb are acknowledged to be all that is r ; quired to conquer disease and prolong lite . No medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity ; it is questionable if there now be any part ofthe civilised world where its extraordinary healing virtues bare not been exhibited . This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . At this moment the Proprietors are in possefi--sion of nearly 560 letters from influential , respecable , and intelligent members of society , all bearing testimony to the great and surprising benefits resulting from the use of the medicine . This is a mass of evidence n its favour such as no Other medicine ever yet called forth , and places it in the proud distinet tion of being not only the most papular but the mast valuable remedy ever discovered .

Knowing well , as all most , who carefully reflect upon the subject , that whenever the light of truth shall be fully mainfested , dissent , division , and discord of all lands , mil cease and be heard of no more , I have no fear that in delating there is much , very much of good in every-sect that is now endeavouring to enlighten the public mind upon their particular views of theology , that I shall be so far misunderstood on the one band as to he supposed to be . speaking ironically ; or on the other , that I shall be considered as wishing persons to become-at the same time Wed&yans sad Caiviniste , or S-. ptista and Unitarians , What I consider is , that the greater portion are in pursuit of goodness and troth , 2 nd it is not for us to judge or condemn or brethren ; ( or the troth-that is in every individual being , will , if carefully submitted to , soon decide for him-whether he acts in accordance with the highest impulses with which he is Imbued ; and if this be dons , none can for + "^ e time de more .

      In looking at dissent as a remedy for the removal of what has been found oppressive , we shall'find it has been no trifling one . To the dissenters , as a body , must we attribute that general instruction of tke people in tbe elements of education , which first began to cultivate the imaense field of human intellect that is sow about r / fbrJBg forth such an abundant harvest . It is certain ail cannot iave taught truth on all subjects , for truth , is consistent in all its parts , and will therefore always be found in unity nnder every variety ; bnt the imptrfeetion of their efforts is rather to be attributed to the want of a farther manifestation et th « divine light than to any other cause ; and what is so ' much calculatsd to increase this light as the cultivation of the finm » Tt intellect , the chief agency through which it has frsen developed to man in all ages '

      I maybe told that there is much of hypocrisy in many teachers of theological subjects , and that they thereby enslave and lead away captive the minds of the people , bat even if tins be true , those in whom the truth is much more -developed , and who are able to act on it , never need fear lie opppsition . It is true that in past ages millions bare perished for believing things which bythe'een-• fictions made upon their senses they were compelled to believe ; it is also true that in this our day many have to suffer for cossdence sake ; but the balance of satisfaction has always been in favour of free enquiry ; and every mods or variation of dissent is an evidence of a determination on the parts of the f oilowezx to assert tills rifHTti j m far as they have been fn ^ ghtfned respeetingit .

      Tha proceedings of many of the dissenting bodies may ? ell be referred to on the subject of Organization , and more especially those of the Wesleyxs . Methodists . II we consider the dark and unenlightened state of the general body of the public , when John Wesley commenced his career ; if we look to the energetic manner * n which he pursued it , and at the gradual hold which as a body his successors have taken tin the people , by a good Organisation , and by finding out even the most ignorant , and teaching them to think and to feel that they were at the least born for a higher destiny *>"" i merely to eat sad drink , to work and sleep ; we shall see in this movement a most powerful one towards that ¦ universal change which is speedflj to unite us as one family , sod make brethren of all nations on earth . Passing from the Dissenter * , I must not forget the ahare that is being takes in providing' a remedy lor the removal of what has been found oppressive by those who have been termed the Infidels and Atheists . In

      all ages and in all countries , to express thoughts far in advance of the spirit of the age , has been to incur the liability of being branded wit& these "terms ; and thus the greatest and wisest of men ; those who have been themost strictly conscientious , and the greatest 'benefactors of their times have been sahjeet to all sorts of reproaches , persecutions , and sufferings under -this charge , The infidelity ef one age is the orthodoxy of another ; and whilst it holds the former name there can be-very little temporal good derived-from it , we may be veil assured that among this class there will always be found honest and ssalous men , persons ready f submit to the sternest privations for the purpose of establishing what they believe to be the truth .

      With regard to Atheism , I cannot think that any one can disbelieve there is » power in and through ¦ whichall things exist ; and this is the greatest enlightenment on the subject of deity , to which any of as can arrive at . All Scriptures agree in dedarin ? this power to be incomprehensible j and if the evidences on the mind of any individual bring him to Bay that in his tditf there is no God , although I can by no means feel as he does , yet I can see , even in this declaration , a honesty of purpose , that claims my respect , and that enlarges the mind to a more diligent ingrriry into the bath that ib within me ; and if it acts tfeus generally on humanity , it must assist in providing the true iemedy .

      Having now renewed at some length this branch of my subject , I shall proceed rather out of the order in which I Intended to bring it forward , to lock at " the Ifew Poor law Bill ; bnt this deviation is induced by the document which appears in year paper of to-day , addressed by the Poor Law Commissioners to the Swansea - Board of Guardians , on which you have so ably commented in & leading article . Much has been said and written against the New Poor law Bill ; bnt I have always regarded it as one of the greatest causes of progress we possesssd , ~ as I sat ? it could not fan to rouse into activity all the " latent powers of the people z and stimulate them to use such exertion as should not only give them individual relief , bet place the whole fabric of society on such a bans , that we should never again have to fear , that " man should become the slave of his brother man .

      It is certainly painful to witness the Bufferings through which the people of this country are now passing ; it 1 b painful to think that one portion , revelling in wealth and luxury for which they have no need , shall drive into the miserable depths of poverty , which they do , the main body of their felloir creatures ; bat this is necessary , to produce among all ef us those changes cf mind snd feelings which can alone prepare ns for that nnrttisal love which will absorb us all , as it were , into one being ; and teach us the happiness , the joy , the piEasure , ol an entire aympsthj , not only Tnth onr

      fellow-creatures , but with everything that has life . It li well to cry out against the Cramers of such an act ; and certainly , whilvt looking at it with reference to immediate tfiicts , nothing can be , to qants from Mr . Q ' CodmIL on another subject , nwxe « base , brutal , and Moody f Imt we mnst now 2 ook beyond this view of it . pd take a cDrapienensrve grasp of the part it performs » a enBghtening the minds of toe gaSexers of all classes , whether payers or receivers ^ to the conviction of the impossibility ef the system , as a system , being much longer pursued .

      On this subject perhaps more than on any other has the press done its duty , on the common ground of humanity ; and the same remark will , I think , Xu some exunt apply to the c ^ ergj . The measure was « oubt-£ -5 brought in by the Whigs and agreed to" by the l ° T w ^ 1 BKUM rf P ««^ ng the rental of that 1-nd -rtacb . they are at preset pleased to call their £ ? i 7 S ^ ^ a KeI 8 ^» tence ««* n » pro ™§ ed for the people , no one would have interrupted S ~ S ^ F ^^ K TetJ fCTr **« *»* &w ever wrought wonderful changes in the public mind , though what fas ,. yet taken place , is a . nothing , to *^ ^ ?^ ^ T B P eedfl y ° " : for when we ted " Tidu ^ ly begin to do our duty to ourselves , by performing it to cur poorer brethren , then shall we re&v an abundant Toward .

      As jou . truly observe , the invasion made upon the rights of the poor , has bow come to the door of the miccle classes / an ? smst through them pervade all others . It will be useless to hlsm » any for the course they b ? .

      of God , and consequen ' ^ y m be entitled to neithei peace or rest . It would be easy * Ji y $ SL \ onta mode whereby through the agency of the NeW Poor taw Bill ; bad as it is , all those who at pr esent retain for themselves the elements from which , ' j ^ great treating universal power has declared by et ^ ^ rnaJ asd fcnmntable laws that human subsistence s '^ all be prevMed may be speedily made to desire to g { Te them tip for the general good ; but we are not ye \ , prepared to act on it We have so fat deviated from the true path , -and are thereby becosie so scattered a ^ . dispersed , ^ ttfft a Mttie more"J » ia and suffering must "b * bora * , whilst tbe sheep are being collected together , ' jbfbre they can be brought in and folded in more plealant pastures .

      "When I proceed to the third division of my subject , namely , * ' to show that it is incumbent on us to introduce anew-ordfr of thingi , and to-point out the mode in which this is to be effected" , I * hall have much to say respecting the Poor Laws ; bat for the present I would only farther remark , that no one should neglect to give the greatest publicity to every instance of cruelty that comes to his notice ? and above all , no one should forget that every poor san is his brother : and if he can give him nothing « lse , he can at the least give him kindness and sympathy in his affliction ; and these - « ill soon provide the requiaitA conditions fox ¦ universal love to effect a change .

      The next remedy that I shall notice , suggested to me also by the document in your paper , from the workmen of Wingate Grange Colliery ^ and also by the remarks cf your Welsh correspondent respecting the copper men , is that of Trades' Strikes . We have often seen "many learned and abstruse' calculations made with regard to the cost of Strikes , and the money that has been mis-spent in them ; but these calculations are ¦ generally made by persons who have little conception of their moral virtue . - It is true , and it is an evident sign of progress , that this mode of procuring redress is less resorted to than it was some years ago ; for experience has

      convinced the great body of operatives that a strike is not the true mode of accomplishing the object which all of us are in search of . But because this conviction has been derived from experience , we are not entitled to oppose those who are travelling the same path to come to the same enlightment Strikes , as well as all other means , will serve to -enlarge the minds to further progress ; and we may -depend that there will be no going backward in the aggregate , whatever may be the case with a few individuals . The mighty stream of free inquiry is daily enlarging itself ; and those who would at all desire to dam it up , will only serve to exhibit , by their attempts , the f ntiUty of warring against the Divine Power .

      Ii ? t us then not fear or be dismayed , at the prospect before us ; it is true that we have much to do , but we are well armed for the struggle ; and there is every indication of its being speedily and peacefully mad a If wo lock at the progress of the various movements , they are as satisfactory almost as we could hope for , and certainly far more so than we ceuld reasonably expsct . Tke Government is calmly preserving order without bloodshed . Father Uatbeir is proceeding quietly , but effactuaUy , in his temperance mission ; the people of Ireland and of Wales are enjoying every leisure and opportunity for placing their grievances before th « clnhzod world ; the Anti-Corn Law League , although not exhibiting perhaps as much as they could wish hero-worship to their leaders , is effectually preparing for the removal of the heavy taxation on the first necessaries of life ; the various churches , dissenters , infidels , atheists , and others , who deal in opinions , are all fast leading their respective followers np to high

      and serious thought , which will end in the discovery of truth ; the Poor Law Bill is heavily operating upon its victims , of all classes , to point out to them the stem necessity of another course ; the trades' strikes are teaching both masters and men the extent to which they can annoy each other , and the little good that results from it ; whilst many other movements that I have not yet alluded to , will be found operating in the same beneficial manner ; and the whole question of the condition of the people ef this country ; the luxury of the aristocrats on the one hand , and the misery of the operatives on the other , is exciting an interest among all other nations that cannot fail to go far towards accomplishing the universal salvation and redemption Of Tnmi .

      TOTAL DESTRUCTION OP THE UNITED STATES STEAM-FRIGATE , MISSOURI , BT FIRE . Cadiz , Fbidat , Sept . i . The splendid new steam-ship Bentinck arrived here from Gibralter yesterday , confirming the Intelligence which had previously reached the consulate , of the total destruction by fire of one of the finest vessels of which the United States navy could boast . Tha following is the efficial notification forwarded to Her Majesty ' s Consul at Cadiz : — " Port of Gibraltar , 27 Qj of Angnst , 1843 . " The American steam-frigate of war . Missouri ,

      unfortunatly caught fire in the course of the past night , and burnt down to the water ' s edge , between the Orange and Montague batteries , in four fathoms of water ; and aa it is impossible to remove her now , she having gone to the bottom , and being anchored there , all captains of vessels who may enter the bay at sight are thus advised , les ; it sheuld happen that through bad weather or any other incident the light should be extinguished , which will be fixed over the place where she is euak . •* W . Thompson , Acting Captain to the Port *

      The opportune arrival of the Bentinck enables me to forward full additional particulars . The Missouri carried 28 guns , and was pierced for 14 . She was admirably equipped , and in all respects one ef the most perfectly appointed ships in the American navy . The crew was entirely saved through the active intervention of Her Majesty ' s steamer Locust , which immediately repaired to the spot , attracted by a spectacle of such extraordinary and disastrous brilliancy . The burning vessel threw a glare over the entire rock , illumining in the midst of the night the various points and batteries , and throwing its reflection over the bay as far as Algesiras . The black bulk and dark spars and rigging Ef » od out in the midst of the intense glare of light with

      a fine but portentous effect , and the roar of the fire was inte mingled with the discharge of guns of distress , which soon , however , ceased in despair , created by tbe awful rapidity with which the flames increased in their ravages , and made all human efforts unavailing . The Locust got up hei steam immediately , and arrived jast is time to rescue the crew from the f&te which awaited them . So rapid was the progress of the flame from the moment it burst forth that by the time the Locust reached her side she bad burnt do wn nearly to the water ' s edge . The Missouri had on board a very large quantity of eunpowder ; and to prevent the dangerous effects of explosion , it was judged advisable to scuttle her , which was successfully accomplished without delay , when she instantly disappeared . -

      The Missouri was bound for Canton , with the new Ambassador sent from the United S'ates to the Emperor of China , together with the gentlemen of his embassy and suite . The Ambassador will thus be compelled either to rsturn to the United States , or to proceed as he best can by &n indirect course to his destination . T ; e fire was occasioned by combustion of the laige cargo of coal which the Missouri was obliged to carry . This combustion had been goics en for a considerable tinre , and upon its discovery a quantity of water was thrown upon the coal , which had thB effect of apparently txtincuishinj ; the flame . But it was , in fact , merely

      smothered ; and upon Its break in j ? out & second t ' me , it was found to have gained such head that no iff Jits could arrest its progress . How the fire was first communicated to the mass of coal has not been ascertained . The fire engines were worked with great vigour , and other means resorted to to throw a quantity of water on the fcmfj , bat in vain . It communicated itself rapidly to the remaining parts of the magnificent vessel Bj dint of considerable tXt-rtions many valuable effects wt-re saved , aiid put on board the Locust , including 50 COO dollars of specie . The vessel was of immense capacity , her register being of nearly 2 , 000 tons , and her crew was very numerous .

      all speed and broke open one of the doors . He then found that his fsars were too well founded , for the watchman was in the interior of the building struggling with the flames , whioh were vapidly gaining round him . Mr . Cleverley Beeing , the very great danger the unfortunate man wp * s in , managed to crawl on hiB hands aud knees into the oven , and after some pain , succeeded in Beizing hold of the watehmao , and dragged him out of the burning building , when he was foa&d to be so seriously burnt , that no time was lost in removing him to St . Thomas ' s Hospital , where he now lies in a very bad way . We are sorry to say that Mr . Cleverley is much burnt about the hands and kuees . Instantly on the outbreak of the flames , the inhabitants of several tenements

      adjoining the premises destroyed , turned out and exerted themselves to the utmost in suppressing the fire , by throwing buckets of water on it . This , however , they failed in accomplishing , for the devouring element still progressed most rapidly , and within a quarter of ah hour after the alarm , the range of buildings , 60 feet long , and about 25 in breadth , were enveloped in one common blaze . On the opposite side to the burning property was a large skeleton building , used for drying floor-cloth , and whioh was full at the time . At one time it caught fire , and would inevitably have been levelled to the gronnd-, but for the unwearied exertions of the workpeople and inhabitants , who , seeing the very great danger the building was in , tow down the whole of the

      cloth , and bv continually throwing buckets of water on the timbers and flooring of these premises , preserved them from destruction . On the engines arriving , the only supply of water that could be obtained was from a narrow black ditch , which is made a depositary for the contents of several neighbouring cesspools ; and although the firemen and bystanders suffered the greatest inconvenience from the dreadful stench wbich it sent forth , still it had the desired effect of subduing the flames , the engines not only forcing the stagnant water on the fire , but also the filth which completely smothered the ruins . By two o ' clock all danger was at an end . The buildings above-named are destroyed , and it is understood that the firm are not insured . There are

      also several ( five or Bix ) dwelling-houses much injured by the burning embers and by water , as also by the removal of furniture . While the brigade , engines were employed at this fire , several others belonging to the force , and stationed at the west-end of the town were required at another , which had broken out at nearly the same hour on the premises of Mr . Cropper , hatter , situate in High-street , New Brentford . It originated at the lower part of the building , and at one time it was fully expected that the whole house would have fallen a sacrifice to the flames . However , by the judioious exertions of the firemen and police , it was prevented extending further than the shop . The two adjacent houses were

      slightly injured . In the course of Sunday morning , the engines of the brigade force in the east end of the metropolis attended at three fires which occurred in that part of London , but which were of no particular importance . At an early hour yesterdny morning a fire occurred on the premises of Mr . Crawcour , tobacconist , situate in Surrey-place , Old Kent-road , and was not subdued before the whole of the buildiDg was destroyed . Singular to state , it was situate immediately opposite to another factory , belonging to Mr . Cleverley , ^ whose premises on Walworth-common were partially consumed on . Saturday nifeht . It is gratifying to stato that no lives were lost in connexion with the above fires .

      Extensive am > Destructive Fibes . For several hours on Satnrday night last , a general alarm prevailed throughout the metropolis owing to the outbreak of numerous fires in snch rapid succession , as to keep the brigade force and the engines in one ^ jontinu ed service during the whol e night ; and what Tenders this circumstance somewhat more remarkable is , that for the last four or five Saturday nights the brigade have been similarly engaged . The fir ? t information that ihtj received was about a quarter to ten o ' clock on Saturday ni ^ ht , of a fire raging in the City Toad . Mr . Brairiwood , the superintendent of the force , with fonr of his engines and a strong body of men , instantly proceeded 10 ihe spot , and on their arrival it was found not to be of such an extensive

      character as they anticipated , the damage being merely confined to the burning of some furniture in a private honse . While the firemen were preparing to retorn home with iheir engine ? , notice was jjiven that another fire sad broken out in the Old Kent road , to which the brigade started at a most tremendous rate . Thi * , however , turned ont to bo of no consf-quence , as their assistance was not required , the fire having been of bo tr fling a character , that a few buckets of water subraMl it . Within a short time , however , after the bngademen had returned to their respective stations , expresses arrived announcing a serious fire raging at Walworth iPive of the brigade engines were sent off with all despatch to the

      Bcene of destraction , but owing to the dense fog that prevailed at the time , the firemen were unable tp see any reflection until they arrived within a hundred yards of the * pot , when it proved to have firaken out on the floor-cloih and table-coyer wui ' uftrtory belonging to Mr .
