      Having successfully acquired a thorough knowledge of all the various stages of that insidious and too often fatal disease , and the deplorable result-, as well as frequent loss of lite , which often occurs through displayed ignorance , by those unqualified , having but very little knowledge either of the disorder , or component principles of Medicine ; thus the System becomes tainted , the whole mass of blood impure , and the Constitution ruiued with Poison , producing UJctrs an J Eruptions on various parts of

The iroptrative nereasity that exists for the complete erii-dication of these deplorable disoroers is evident fi > ra the feet , that this deadly contagion may 1- ^ . y imbtdUcd in the constitution for years , and it is of the utmost importance to tho ? e who are about to form matrimonial engagements to cleanse the fystem previously of all its gro'ia impurities , in order to prevent those sad appearances throughout entire families , 'which are frequently the consequence of a protracted and incomplete cra . dica . tion .

      In those deplorable case 3 of nervous and sexual -ability , arising from early and indiscriminate exc * & £ es , "where melancholy , distaste , incapacity for all plearures , both mental and physical , and all the enervating imbecilities of old age are its attendants , the utmost endeavours should be made to avoid iho de ? pair and misery which accompany these dreadful debilities , when left to the powers uf nature alone to restore , and which frequently hurries its victim to the grave iu the very il / . r-r of his youth . To all who are thus afflicted , Mr . LA'MERT , as a regularly educated member of the medical profe = s ; on , can with the utmost confidence otfsr hope , energy , vigour , and felicity ; and from the peculiar nature of his practice , the most timid may feel encouraged by the opportunity thus affurded them . The folio-sving letter is published by particular request : —

      Newcastle-upon-Tyne , June 20 , 1839 . Sir , —It has been my intention , for a length of time , to address you on & subject ciosely connected with your celebrity ; but I mus ; confess that a feeling of delicacy has hitherto withheld me . M y 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 case so remarkable as any on record . Bern in a- polished cirole of society , I was early sent to a most respectable public seminarx , where , for some years , all went on with prosperity and happiness .

      Unfortun&tely , however , a habit was sent abroad among us , which I was , with many others , unable to resist . Years roUed away , and left me an altered man ! Infirmities gathered around me , and at the &ge of twenty jears I wu actually dying of deeaya gradual be * certain decay . 1 wondered at the cause of all this premature debility , nor did the truth ever fLcsh across my mind , uatU I eaw an address of yours , whi « h made me fully sensible of my miserable situation . The debility increased every renewed day , with the cause of misery , fislf-entailed , gnawing at my heart in my waking momenta ; in seeking rest , 1 only sought for a chaoge of torments —the many hours of ' darkness seemad awful ; those of sleep filled me with racking horrora Udewribable .

      I longed for day—with day £ was wwiied—and I beheld the approach of night with abhorrence Under these circumstances of unqualified afflietioa , I journeyed npward * of ninety milts t » hare » consultation with you . I nsed sot say how sooa yon vrere * war « of my appalling situation , the anxiety you manifested in aoeonapliehing ay relief , or of lha confidence with which you spoke ef xay recoTery .

      accompanied by the Very Rev . N . O'Connor , whew he preached , to a large congregation of Protestants and Catholics , one of tho most eloquent and Christian discourses I ever heard . At three o ' oltck the Very Rev .

      STOC ^ PORT . EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CHILD STEALING . In our last we gave the particulars or the abduction of a fine male child , only sii wteks old , during the day-time of Saturday , the 6 th Jane , from the house of an operative named Buckley , in " Portwood , under very distressing circumstances > , and , invsonsequence of some delay which took place , fears were then entertained that the felon bad got out of the reach of detection and immediate apprehension . The subscription which was then set on foot for the purpose of constituting a reward , had the effect of redoubling the exertions of the executive , as well as others who had originally been prompted in their efforts by the common sympathies of humanity for tha suffering parent , and their proportionate disgust at the conduct of the perpetrator . «•»»««•«»*« .,..

      In the course of i-riday , after repeated inquiries in the eariy part of the week , the house whete the woman and the infant were concealed was ascertained . Late in the afternoon , as Walters , -one of the Stockport pelicemen , and W- Buckley , the father of the tihild , was passing aloug Lever-street , Manchester , they saw the woman washing some baby linen , which she had recently purchased , for the use of her illicit charge , which was at that moment asleep on the sofa in the house ; indeed , she appears to hayo paid the utmost possible attention to the child , having hired a wet nurse for the purposes of nutriment ; and , moreover , had manifested the most earnest care and anxiety for its health and comfort . She resided at the house of Ann Kennedy , 4 U , Lever-street ; and the policeman charged her with having stolen a child ha Portwood , Siockport , which she denied . Buckley , who had been standing a little distinct ) oil ' , then came up , and identifying the child then on tho sofa , seiaed it as his own ,

      and also pointing out tho woman as the person wuo had been at bis house aud stolen it . At tiiis she appeared very much concerned—fell upon her knees—and wept , because she was compelled to tieiiver up the child ; nut so much regretting that she was in tbs hands of an officer of ju ' stice , as ou the other account . The little infant was certainly very clean , and , to all appearance , in the enjoyment of good health . The woman , whose naino ia Ann O'Meara , then said— " Well , I did take it ; and tho reason I did so was because my husband and 1 have never lived comfortable together . Ho is always upbraiding me because I havo no children , and about nino months ago I slept with my husband , near Bolton , and I then told him I was prcgnaut , " The officor then charged her with administering medicine to tue child ' s mother , to which she answered " I gave- her a penny wortu of laudanum in a glass of wine , to sleep her while I took away tae child . "

      Ihe woman , who is only twenty-four years of age , was married at fcixtecn to her husband , and , with a view of conciliating his good pleasure and affection , committed the above offence , he having frequently left her because she did not make him a father , rihe begged that her husband might bu kept ignorant of her situation . Sha is , moreover , rather intereuting in features , and enjoys an excellent character . Sae was seat the eam « night to the Stockpoit lockup , and the infant was restored to its mother . Thu following day ( Saturday ) , it having been ascertained that tho mother of thta child might be removed without prejudicing her life , the prisoner was brought

      up for examination at the Coiut House , before the Borough Magistrates , at twelve o ' clock , and Airs BuckU-y ,-who is still suifering from the effects of the laudanum , being predisposed to affliction , was led into court , with the assistance of some mends . The inquiry seemed to liave excited tlie greatest curiosity amongst the females and matrons of the Borough , the room being crowded with the fair sex . Oa tho prisoner being de-Hired to stand up , she cast a look upon t ); e mother and her infant , and sobbed bitterly . After which she claapud her hands together , and appeakd to Mrs . Buckley with her tears and by gesticulations , the only words which fell from her lips being *• don't , don't . "

      Mrs . Buckley , however , on being swum , said On Saturday , the Gth day of June , butween eleven and twelve o ' cUck , the prisoner , Ann O'Moara , came into my husfeand' 8 house , a ud s a id , I think the trade is very bad in stockport . " My child was about six we ^ ks old then , lying asleep ; and a little girl named Sarah Kedfein being a . so there * fl s&id , " trade is very bad indeed . " bhe said " Will you boil the kettle for t * a for you and me . " I replied that I had liud my tea , and expected my husband home to dinner soou . She asked me to lot her have some ; and I reached a cup aud saucer , and put them on the table , and turn-d ray back upon her , and began to smooth my dress . Presently I missed the prisoner , and she returned in about ten minutes after I observed her absence . When she a vain entered

      the bouse , she s . tid , " I have brought you a glass of wine , for being so kind as to boil the ktUle . " I said , " ii ' s very good of you ; I ' vo not had that much during my lying-in . " She put some warm water , out of the kettle , into it , and took a paper out of her pocket , which Bhe said waa sugar , and put tho whole in the wine . She tLen gave it to me , but I would make her drink first , and turned round again to my ironiiig . She began stirring the contents of the cup , end gave it to me , and 1 drank a quarter of it , and gave it her back , asking her to sup , but whether she did ur not , I cannot tell . Directly ul't * . 'rwards , she asked rue to drink again , and stirred it agaiu with the spoon , and offered it to me , raying , come , " drink again ; I ' ve bought it for you . You seem so weak after your lying-in ; a glass of wine

      will do any one good . " 1 took ihe cup again , aud drunk about one-half , and retumtd her the cup , asking her to drink hersvlf . She replied , " I did not buy it for myself ; I bought it for you , so drink it up . I want > ou to go with me to the market , to show , me where it is . " 1 then drank tho whole of it . The wine looked Vury thick , and was very tart I took the child fr »» m the chair , wrapped a shawl round it , and went with her to the market . When we were opposite Wild ' s standing , I felt dizzyi and told her I would go as far as my grandmother's , in Churcbgate . She said , " You had better go home , and I'll carry the b » by . " I refused , and went to my grandmother ' s , and she followed me .

      When there , I felt very tMrsty aud sick , and asked for some water , and drank a gill-full . Being hungry , I eat tk little dinner there , and was taken very sick and poorly . The prisoner took the child , and I went to a cbair near the door , and sat down . I was obligud to get off immediately , and go out of doors to vomit I afterwards drank another gill of water , and vomited again . The prisoner then recommended that I should go home , and she would carry the child , which she did . As soon as I got into the house , I lay clown on three chairs , and became quite insensible , the prisoner being then in the house with the child . I have not seen the child from that time , t * Friday , the 12 th inst

      The evidence of William Buckley , the husband of the last witness , went to show , that , when he went home to dinner , at half-past one , on Saturday , the 6 th inst , he found his wife fast asleep upon three chairs ; and , although ho shook her frequently , and tried to set her upright , h « « ould not awaken her . The prisoner was there ; she said that his wife was poorly . With assistance , the wife was carried up stairs to bed , leaving the infant in a chair . The prisoner took it , and walked about the front of the house . The defendant asking me whether she must go for the grandmother ; and he to ! d her it was of no use . She persisted ; and , whilst he was up stairs , with Mr . Brookes , the surgeon , the prisoner absented herfelf with the child . Information of the circumstance was given to the police , Elizabeth Marsland , of Fortwood , proved that the prisoner purchased a pennyworth of laudanum , at Mr . Husband ' s ehop in a tea-cup , between eleven and twelve o ' clock of the forenoon of the 6 th June ; and

      Wm . Knowles , of the samo place , publican , identified the prisoner as the person to whom he sold a noggin of wine , about twelve •' clock , on the above day . She brought a tea-cup which contained something , and he watched her turn the street , in the direction of the prosecutor's house . The policeman , Walters , proved the apprehension and capture of the prisoner ai Manchester . The prisoner declined saying anything . On referring to the law on the aubjectof child Stealing , it appears , that if any person Shall either by forceoi fra u d , lead , or take away , or decoy or entice away , or

      detain any child under the age of ten years , with intent to deprive the parent or parents , or any other person having the lawful possession of such child , or with Intent to steal article upon or about the person of uuch child , to whosoever such article may belong ; or if any person shall , with any such intent as aforesaid , secure or harbour any such child , knowing the same to have been by force or fraud , led , taken , decoyed , enticed away , or detained , as heretofore mentioned , shall be guilty of feleny , , and liable to be transported seven years , or imprisonment with or without hard labour , for not more than two years , and ( if a male ) whipped . 9 .

      The prisoner was fully committed to take her trial at the next Chester Assiaes for child stealing . Had death ensued to Mrs . Baekley . thea the charge -would have been that of murder . The indignation of the pmblic , sittoo her confession , seems to have subsided in favour of the prisoner . In the " turn-oat" paragraph in our hut , an erratum appears .

That the business . of the Association be conducted by twelve of a committee , to be chosen at the publio meeting , one of said 'Committee to act as chairman and one as secretary to the Association . 5 . The daty of the committee will be to use their beat endeavourB , by every moral means , to induce working men to join this Association , and as far as possible to seoure lectures -pa .: the subject . r 6 .

After the adoption of the above , a committee being appointed , according to rule 4 tb , who , after two day ' s exertion , having met , found , to their great satisfaction and encouragement , that no less than 203 Chartists , to their creoitbeit told , had signed the pledge . We hope that the Chartists throughout tho country will see the propriety of joining themselvoa into Associations of this or a similar description , in order that they may be the more enabled to pay the vows which thousands of them made during the sittings of the late Convention , one of which vows was to the following import : — " That we win

      by every means in our power , support $ hO 3 e noble patriots who have stood up in the defence of those principles of justice and humanity , embodied in the People ' s Charter . " Many of those noble-minded men have been made the victims of Whig tyranny , some of whom are immured in dungeons , and others of them are destined to drag oui . a miserable existence on the shores of a foreign land . Many of those who depended on those individuals lor support , guidance , and protection , cannot but be in a state of destitution ; we , therefore , earnestly hope that all who have taken to themselves the name of Chartists will show to the world that they are so , in deed and in truth , by denying themselves the gratification of an animal propensity , jn order that they may be more ableand consequently

      , moro willing to devote a portion of their substance tor the amelioration of the condition of th ' ase incarcerated Chartists , their wives , and JamilieB , who may stand in need of support . At the same meeting it was proposed , seconded , and adopted , that a pelition . be sent to the House of Commons , praying that their Honourable Home would present an address to her Majesty , to dismiss her present advisers , as traitors to the Crown and the people , and call to her council man who will make Universal Suffrage a Cabinet measure . Also , that they would be pleased to address her Majesty for a full , fair , and free pardon to Feargus O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all others , who are incarcerated for political offences . The petition lies for signature in various parts of the village .

      Two Men of Feeling , alias Two Tools for thf Pooit Law Commissioners . —A poor man with one arm , on ouuday laat , had travelled from Ingleson to Binglcy , the distance of forty miles , without ; a penny in his pocket , he wanting to make his nearest road to London , for the purpose of seeing his late employer * , who aru sliip-owuera , to 6 ee if they would do a In lie matter for him , he having lost his aim in their service . When the poyr fellow arrived at Biugley , tired and wearioa with his day ' s fatigue , he wanted to rest his wearied limbs upon a bed , if he possibly could do so . The man being pennylees , he , of course , applied to the workhouse for a night's lodgings , but on application to the master of ihe

      workhouse , he was informed that they were full , and thac they could not have any thing to do with him . Th « mau left and begun to tell hia tale to different persons , expecting , no doubt , to be relieved out of his present situation , by somo kind feeling person informing him where there was such a place as a hay-mow , so thai he oouldrest his tred Iibids for the course of the uiglu . Some perBon a&ked him if he had been to thy relieving officer . He said no , he had not . Of course , he was advised to go and see him . Ho did so , but when ha made his application , the relieving-officer told him that he could do nothing at all for him , aud pushed the uoor in his face , with that air as if he felt himself most grossly insulted at being called upon by a person of that description . $ ovr look at the conduct of tbe 6 e two officers , the

      first refusing admittance into the workhouse , the other refusing him tho price cf 3 d . for his bed . Now Jot me ask these two heartless tools what the man was to do . If he commenced begging he very likely mighi have beea caught and took to prison , from theisco before the magistrates , and committed as a vagrant to the House of Correction . If he had stolen any thing to obtain him a bed , he would very likely have been transported lor it , but what was he to do ? Why , he was to do one of these acts ; so that the workhouse master would have had a job in taking him to Wakefield , or otherwise he was to lay down at the road side , aud die likeadog . Now let me ad vise our two officers to bear this act . of unkiudness in their breasts , and for one moment to place themselves in the same situation as that poor man was in , aud then let them pay to themselves , "I can do nothing for you .

      MANNERS AND TREATMENT OF STRANGER ! IN CHINA .

      INTERVIEW . WITH COMMISSIONER . LIN . The Canton Press , January 11 th , contains a detailed account of an interview of Mr . Hill , surgeon , of the Sunda , ( the officers and crew of which vessel were ¦ wrecked on the coast of Hainan , were kindly treated bj the Chinese and Commissioner Lin , and conveyed to Canton , ) on the 14 th of December . They proceeded from tho Consoo House towards the city , escorted by the linguists and a greup of attendants . The streets were lined on both sides with soldiers , presenting rather a formidable appearance . They were conducted to a large Joss house , pr temple , dedicated to the Queen of Heaven , distant about three hundred yards from the gates , the outsr court-yard of which was completely filled with palanquins and horses belonging to the

      mandannaand hong merchants . After waiting for about aa hour , they were told that the Commissioner wasgont to breakfast with the Governor , immediately after which he would visit them . The linguists took an opportunity of redoubling their exertions in order to persuade them to bend the knee , which they pbrsisted in refusing . In about two hours , the firing of the cannon , boating of gengs , and shouting , announced tbe approach of the Yumchae . Four palanquins , containing the Commissioner , Governor , Lieut Governor , and Hoppo , preceded up the court-yard . The Commissioner first made his exit , upon which the hong merchants linguists , &c , prostrated themselves for a short timej hi 3 excellency at the same time bowing most condescendingly . The same ceremony was repeated towards

      the others in succcsssion . In about ten minutes they were informed that his Excellency waB ready to receive them . The Yumchae was seated at the upper end of the room . having the Governor on his right , and the Lieut . Governor on his left , and the Hoppo second on hia right , also seated . In person the Yumchae is rather stout and short , and , apparently , about forty-five years of age ; his countenance has rather a pleasant expression , with a small , dark , and piercing eye , and a fine intellectual forehead . His voice is strong , clear , and soHorous ; he was very plainly dressed , while the other dignitaries were invested with the insignia of office . Mr . Hill says , " On being conducted into his presence , we uncovered , and made a polite bow , which he re turned , and immediately after commenced the

      conversation . He began by stating his regret at our melancholy shipwreck , and hoped that we had been treated kindly by the different mandarins on our journey to Canton . He thea asked when we left England ? . and whether any account of the disturbances in China had reached England previous to our departure ? When and where did we first hear of them ? &c He then said , he was very sorry on account of the differences which at present existed between England and China ; and that for the laat two hundred years , the Chinese and the English had been on the most friendly terms , during which time every thing had gone on smoothly for the interest of both . He regretted that these happy days had fled , and would rejoice to see them back : igain . The English had caused tLese

      disturbances by deluging the country with Opium , the importation of which they knew to be strictly prohibited by thd Chinese law . He then dwelt at considerable length on the injurious effects of tbe use of Opium oa tbe system ; , and tho iniquity of our introducing it into China being doubly aggravated from our knowledge of the severe penalty inflicted upon those found making Ui ' e of it , or in any way ensuged in its traffic He then mentioned the dreadful extent to which it had increased of late jears , and tho determination of his sovereign to ptita stop to it ; that he had been sent down by the emperor for that purpose , and was firmly resolved not to return until he had done so . He was well aware , he said , of the handsome profits made by us upon other articles of merchandize , and why should we not be content with those , but introduce a pernicious drug ? He would appeal to our own hearts , if it was not a monstrous crime to enguge in the opium trade ? He was certaiu that tho gods could not approve of it ,

      and that the conscience of any one engaged in it would never allow him to be at peace on this earth . He then instanced the melancholy fute of Mr . M ^ , and said , that other similar cases were not uncommon . In order to show us the iniquity of the Opium trade , and its increase during the laat few years , he handed us Mr . Tiielwall ' s pamphlet , and a work upon China , from which tbe title-page waa torn ( Davis ' a , I think ) , a few extracts from which he requested us to read . Several portions of both works were translated into Chinese , and pasted on the corresponding pages . He also had rive or . six of the East India Company's cards , showing the quantity of opium sold during tho season . He next adverted to the murder of his countryman , Liu Woihe , and expressed his great dissatisfaction at tho murderers not having been delivered up . He could not conceive- how we were unable to find out the murderer , especially as we knew five men whe were engaged in the affray . " —Asiatic Journal , June , 1840 , pp . 126 , 127 .

Tho Station-house drum beat to arms , and headed by a regular "who goes there , ' th » police . proceeded to disperse a peaceable meeting . The uflkioasne 8 s of Mr . Who-goes-there was really amusing . Before he received hia ordera Ue mixed up with the meeting , listened to the speaker and never evinced the least disapprobation ; but , no sooner did the orders come than with all the £ ubmissiveness oi a schoolboy , who ia in danger of being thrashed if he rebels , this Who-goes-there lost afl his individuality and became absorbed iu the

      captivating mandates of field-marshal Fowler . Well 1 the meeting was forbidden to be held at the Cross , so the people were obliged to march . off . to Thornaby-Green , a distance of two miles , which they did in a body much to their credit , and much to the mortification of the base , brutal and bloody Whigs . Mr . Binns addressed the people from the spot where Cromwell battered Stockton Castle down , and there was an excellent spirit manifested on the occasion . Tho Chartist Provision Store intend holding a ieatival a week come Monday , June the 29 th , the proceeds of which are to be given to the wives and

      familieji of some of the incarcerated Chartists . W » hope the good Stocktonians will have a good muster on the occasion , for the incarcerated Chartists art unjustly and basely oppressed . Mr . Binns announced to the meeting at Thornaby-Green , that , he was determined not to be cheated out of a good meeting by the intolerance of the authorities . They need not think the refusal of the btllmau to call our meeiingg , will prevent them from being known , for the next tjmene came into Stockton to hold a meeting , he would appear with a placard stuck or his hat with the following inscription : — Thornaby-Green at eight o ' clock .
