    ADVICE . MR .

    Having successfully acquired a thorough knowledge of all the various stages of that insidious and too often fatal disease , and the deplorable results , as well as frequent loss of life , which often occurs through displayed ignorance , by those unqualified , having but very little knowledge either of the disorder , or component principles of Medicine ; thus * he system becomes tainted , the whole mass of blood impure , and the Constitution ruined with Poison , producing Ulcers and Eruptions oa various parts of tile body , frightful to be seen—often closely

    resembling and mistaken for diseases of & less paiDful character . Mr . W ., as a Member of the Medical Profession , and from the peculiar nature of his practice , can , with the utmost confidence ,- even to the ttost timid , offer hope , vigour , and perfect health . What a srief for a young person , in the very prime © f life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the «> j&y meats of life , by a disease al \ ray 3 local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance .

    Mr . W . 's invariable rule is to give a Card to each of bis Patients as a guarantee for Cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or to return his Fee .

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

Perry on the Inside of each Wrapper , ) which are well * known throughout Europe and America , to be the mosi eertaia and effectual cnre ever discovered for every atage and Svmptom of the Venereal Disease , in both Sexe 3 , including Gonorrhea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most Butprising cures , not only in . recent and severe cases , but when sail ration and all other means have failed . And when an ea-ly application is made to these Pills

    for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few dayB ; and in ihe Bore advanced and inveterate stages of Venereal Infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . Perry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and whfch is © f the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic affections . Eruptions on sny part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous , or Venereal Taint , being fully calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and eisaciated Constitutions to pristine feealth and vigour .

    The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite , mischief . Under the notion of its being an antidote to a certain disease , the natutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually Mercurialized cnt cf existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of Nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder which we have in view owes its fatal results to neglect or ignorance . In its

    first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished , by attending to the directions fully pointed ot in she Treatise , without the least injury to the constitution ; bat when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local infection will be con-Terted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pitv that a yoasg man , the hope of his country « nd the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , aad fcy a disease which , is not , in its own nature fatal , « ad which nerer pr » ves so if properly treated .

    It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfuln « as of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , Mercury , ruin the constitution , canse ulceratkwi . blotohes on the head , face , and body , dimness of right , noise in .-the « aFa , deafness ; obstinate " gleets . nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated Bore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head anc iiaibs , till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues , aad & melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful ^ offerings .

    Just published , in royal 18 mo ., cloth , price 3 s . ; and sent in Town or Country free , by post , 3 s . 6 < L , MANHOOD : the CAUSES of its PREMATURE DECLINE , with Plain Direction for ITS PERFECT RESTORATION ; addressed to those suffering from the destmotive effects of Exces sive Indulgence , Solitary Habits , or Infection a followed by Observations on the TREATMENT of SYPHILIS , GONORRH ( EA , GLEET , &c ~ Illustrated with Cases , &c .

    By J . L . CURTIS and COMPANY , Consulting Surgeons , London . Published by the Authors , and sold by Balliere , Medical Bookseller , 219 , Regent-street ; Strange , 21 , Paternoster-row ; Advertiser Office Hull ; Review Office , Nottingham ; Machen and Co ., 8 , D'Olier-street , Dublin ; Duncan , 114 , High-etreet , Edinburgh ; and to be had of all Booksellers . The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affections , which for some unaccount

    able reason have been either altogether overlooked , or treated with apathy , and almost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter into the details of these affections , to point out their causes , and to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and physical , which are sure to follow from indulgence , in certain habits , would be entirely out of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , however , in saying that there is no member of society , by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a PARENT , a PRECEPTOR , or aCLERGYMAN .

    The PARENT , who beholds his beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature gravft , in consequence of some disease , which for want of a careful investigation of its real canse , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes , who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , t&bes , < fec ^ the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently than is at all Buspected .

    The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least the relation and responsibility of a parent , will , by perusing this work , be directed , and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices bo often introduced iuto schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time . He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , and a standard whereby to judge , when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges , what the real cause of such attack may be , and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state .

    The CLERGYMAN , in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them , if not relinquished . Messrs . CURTIS and CO . are to be consulted daily at their residence , No . 7 , Frith-street , Sohoj from Ten till Three , and Five till Eight in the Evening .

    Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint , the symptoms , age , general habits of living , and occupation iu lite of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual consultation fee of £ 1 , without which no notice whatever can be taken ef their application ; and in all cases , the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on .

    MEDICAL ADVICE . OF serious Importance to those who are suffering from Venereal or Syphilitic Diseases , Nervous , or Sexual Debility , Rheumatism , Scurry Scorbutic Eruptions , and ail Diseases arising from impurity of the Blood . Mr . LA'MERT , SURGEON , No . 21 , FALKNER-STREET , MANCHESTER , Licentiate of the Apothecary ' s Hall , London , and Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , &c , having devoted his studies for many years to the various diseases of the generative organs , and to the cure of these insidious and often fatal diseases . at the various Hospitals in London , and in the Universities of Edinburgh and Dublin , cannot refrain from

    directing attention to the deplorable consequences so constantly Oftcuiring , owing to unqualified and illiterate men , presumptuously claiming to have a knowledge of these disorders , who are totallv ignorant of the general principles of medicine , ana either by unskilful treatment , or by the immoderate use of mercury and other questionable specifics , entirely ruin the constitution , by suffering the system to become affected , and the whole mass of blood tainted with venereal poison , causing eruptions and ulcers of a most frightful character on the face , neck , and body which closely resemble , and often are treated as , scurvy , and dreadful pains in the limbs and bones , which are commonly mistaken for rheumatism ; the whole frame then becomes affected with the most ateraiag Bjmptoras , and a melancholy death puts a period to ine suffuinga of the patient .

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

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

    To all who are thus afflicted , Mr . LA'MERT , as a regularly educated member of the medical profession , can with the utmost confidence offer hope , energy , vigour , and felicity ; and from the peculiar nature of his practice , the most timid may feel encouraged by lie opportunity thus afforded them .

    The members of the Manchester District of the Bookbinders' Consolidated Trade Union , held their anniversary on Monday , the 29 th of Juue , at the house of Sir . James Thompson , the Turf Tavern , Kersall Moor ; and we were glad to perceive bo very numerous an attendance of the employers who are favourable to the principle of the industrious artizan uniting for the protection of bis labour . The chair was taken by Mr . Graham , Chairman of the Central Committee , and we would particularly wish to notice , to exhibit the good feeling which ought to exist between the upright master and his workman , the honest operative , that he was supported on the

    right by the oldest employer in tho trade , Mr . John Winstanley , and that sincere friend of the working classes generally , but the operative bookbinders more especially , Mr . John Dickinson , one of the first founders of , and , for four years , chief secretary to the Consolidated Union , on the left . The Chairman was supported by four other employers , viz ., Mr . Brandreth , Mr . Lowndee , Mr . Gardner , and Mr . Coy . The dinner was most sumptuous , and reflects great credit upon Mr . and Mrs . Thompson . After the cloth was withdrawn , the Chairman , as is usual , gave healths of the Queen , her Consort , tfre Duke of Sussex , and all other liberal members of the Royal Family . Song—Mr . Fishwick .

    The Chairman , in rising to give the next toast , said it would be his duty to make a few brief remarks thereon . They were all aware that , fifty-two years since , on the 2 j 8 ih of June , a number of their fellow-workmen were roleasedfrom prison , in London , where they had been niost unjustly incarcerated for uniting to protect the interests of the trade , and the great principle of trades' unions . ( Loud cheers . ) It was this that had given rise to the commemoration of the glorious 28 th of June , and the toast which he was about to give was the memory of their forefathers , who had so nobly struggled ( and one of whom actually died in prison ) for the maintenance of their just rights . ( This toast was drank in solemn silence . ) Song—Mr . Thomas .

    Mr . B . Stott , in responding to the last toast , said that nothing had ever given him greater , pleasure than to eulogise those men wlw bad lived , and breathed , and suffered , and died for the principle of conciliation . It was a principle worthy of every sacrifice on the part of working men . The ' honest men , whose memories the toast revered , were more worthy of commemoration than all the titled pensiftaers that ever lived . Mr . Stott concluded by calling upon every unionist to-emoiate their-eondtxofc

    ( Lsud cheers . ) The Chairman , in proposing the next toast , said that in order to cultivate a proper feeling between master and man , the committee had invited the employers , and he was gratified to see so many of them present . Feeling Assured that th * ee who had received that invitation favourably , were not inimical to the interests of the operative , he would therefore give the health ef the employers . ( Drunk with cheese . )

    The Cbaxkuak «* lled upon Me . Dickihson to respoad . Mr . John Dickinson rose to return thanks amidst load and long continued cheers . When silence was restored , he said , Mr . Chairman and feUow tradesmen , the hoaest warmtfe of your approbation assures me , that he who unflinchingly doe& bis daty to working men will for ever lire ia their esteem . ( Cheers . ) That was ad incontrovertible fact , and he was a living witnesss of its practicability . He had very lately become an employer , aad was not the most fit to do honour to the toast j nevertheless , he wodM answer the call of the Chairman to the best of his abilities . They all knew , u « every bookbinder in the kingdom knew that he had been a journeyman , so also had a majority of employers been journeymen ., and

    so long as he inhaled toe breath of God , come weal , come woe , he should for ever hold the just rights of the journeymen in the most sacred reverence . ( Loud cheers . ) What difference , he would ask , was there between master and map . in the eye of God ! None ! What difference ought there to be in the eyes of meni None ! All men were eqnal so long as their morality was good . It was the immorality in either that made the difference ; the man who would take the mean advantage of , or act unjustly to his employer , was void of principle and an enemy to union , and the master who would subvert the interest of the operative , was either a tyrant or a monopolist , and was alike detestable . ( Load cheers . ) He had always contended that the interests of man asd master were

    Untitled Article

    reciprocal —( hear)—and it was his sincere wish that this feeling should pervade'the bosoms of all . ( Cheers . ) He could assure those employers who now heard him speak , and all other masters in , the kingdom , that there was nothiag dishonest in the union of the journeymen . ( Hear . ) He knew this for a fact , it was no hearsay , for he was one that constructed the laws by which , they were governed , and those laws were just ; they were framed with a due regard to the interests of man and master—( loud cheers)—and he would fervently and sincerely give the unqualified contradiction to the slanderers of trades' unions , who were for ever crying out against the illegality of their laws . ( Loud cheers . ) If bad men were found amongst unionists , it was a thing of common occurrence in all classes of the community ; there was a tremendous majority of honest men in all trades ' unions , and they ought not to confound the worthy with the worthless . Mr . Dickinson continued in a strain of fervid and impassioned eloquence to advocate the great principle of union , and concluded by returning thanks on behalf Of the employers , amidst the most enthusiastic cheers . Several other toasts were given and were ably responded toby Messrs . Winstanley , Barrow and others . The health of the Chairman was drunk with honours , and also that of the host and hostess . The company separated at a late hour , highly gratified with this feast of reason and flow of soul . We cannot close this report without giving a just meed of praise to Mr . Thomas Riley and the Stewards , for their indefatigable exertions in the arrangements .

Lamb ' s child ; she went to take , it away , when he , in a moat brutal manner , struck her on the head and breast , which knocked her down ; she told him to . desiut , but he took up a brick and swore he would hive her life ; he has several times attempted to take most Indecent liberties with her , and because she wont submit to hia wishes that is the cause of the savage attack upon her He had repeated this several times .

    Captain Fead , a magistrate , said before they went further he wished to know if the defendant was not expecting a commission in the army ? The defendant ( with the utmost sangfroid ) drawled out he should have one shortly , and smiled with the utmost contempt at the charge . He said he acknowledged the charge , but the " creature" had positively " slapped his face , " and made him " run away , " when he was compelled to knock her down , and take up the brick in self-defence . As to taking liberties , he did not deny it ; there was no harm in it The defendant laughed during the whole time . Sir John Webb remarked that it did not become him to laugh at his unmanly conduct towards a virtuous young girl , who was compelled to wait upon him , and whom he attempted to seduce from the path of virtue , and because he could not obtain his wish he brutally and in a roost savage manner ill-used her .

    Captain Fead said , a pretty specimen of a young gentleman for a commission in the army , who could so Bavsgely and disgustingly act towards a young girl like her . He should be for sending the case to the sessions . ( The defendant still continued to smile ) . Captain Fead remarked , " Young man , you need not smile ; it is a disgraceful and most disgusting thing—it reflects neither credit to your heart or to your character on entering the army . " The prosecutxix also stated that one evening the defendant went into the room above those apartments occupied by Captain and Mrs . Pratt , of the Royal Marines , when he smoked a cigar , and spat upon every person that passed . Mrs . P . ' s window was open , and she beard people complain , when she sent word to Mr . Irirnib , Who told the defendant to desist . He made a beastly remark . The gallant Captain , of counw , gave immediate notice to quit , and on the day of her ill-usage kindly sent her some wine to revive her .

    Mr . Lamb replied that he did not think he was right in bis head , and hoped they would make it a fine , and not send the case to the sessions . The Bench said that was no excuse ; he appeared perfectly right in his head , but he showed a callous disposition , anil did not care for anything ; however , por the SAKE OF HIS HIGHLY RhSPECTAULE FAMILY AND connections , they would dispose of it summarily and should , therefore , fine him . £ 5 and costs . Mr . Lamb expresaod his tbauka , and immediately paid the money , at the same time expressing a hope that it would be a caution to him how he acted in a similar manner again . The defendant then left the bar smiling , and with the coolest indifference , as if nothing had happened .

    EXECUTION OF COURVOlSlER

    On Monday morning , at eight o'clock , Francois Benjamin Courvoisier , the murderer of his venerable master , Lord William Russell , expiated * hjs crime , as far as such crime as his can be expiated in this world . Long before midnight on Sunday evening groups of persons began to assemble in front of Newgate , anxious to secure good places to witness the appalling drama which was about to be enacted . These groups , as the morning approached , became more and more numerous , until at length they coalesced , and at four o ' clock formed a den 6 e mass of human beiu # 8 , extending from St . Sepulchre ' s church to the gates of the Old Bailey . Shortly after two o ' clock , the workmen employed iu the erection of the callows commenced their operations , and at half after four had completed their horrid task .

    Persons now began to flock in great numbers . At five o ' clock the street was crowded , and the windows of the houses opposite the prison were all occupied . In one was seen the fashionable exquisite , with the opera glass at his eye , employed ia attentively scrutinizing the preparations going on for depriving a fellow-creature of his existence ; while at another , a man of a lower grade , with tastes more vulgar , perhaps , but most assuredly not one whit more coarse and brutal , was whiliug away the weary hours , by having recourse to the solace of a pi pe and a pot . The roofs of the houses were crowded with persons anxious to get a glance at the last moments of the murderer , ami even the chiruueya were made to afford an unsafe , but eagerly converted , resting place to tho more adventurous of these cravers after excitement .

    As the morning advanced the crowd , which had been during the night tolerably quiet , began to wax noisy—practical jokes were played off , coarse and ribald iests were uttered , and roars of laughter were elicited in consequence , not merely from the low vulgar who crowded the streets , but from the high vulgar at the windows and on the house-tops . It was the farce before the tragedy . Among the crowd were many well-dressed females . At the windows were lads , some apparently not more than twelve years of ago ; but all were gay—all were merry in anticipation of human suffering—merry at the thought of witnessing the agony of death . ( It another fact were wanting to prove the brutalising and demoralising tendency of public executions , we

    have it here . Would that those Who conscientiously believe in their efficacy as a prevention of crime had been present this morning to have beheld the disgusting spectacle which for four long hours we were unwillingly compelled to witness . The Rev . Mr . Carver , the ordinary of the prison , arrived at six o ' clock , and immediately proceeded to the cell of the Strisoner to administer to him that spiritual consolaation , of which in his awful situation he must have atoojj . in so much need . Shortly after we were admitted within the walls of the prison , On inquiry we found that Courvoisier , whose firmness , which had never deserted him , astonished even ' those the most used to such scenes , had retired to rest last night at eleven o'clock , had slept Soundly for an hour , when he awoke and inquired of Locke and

    Sargeant , the turnkeys in attendance on him , the hour of . the- night . On being informed that it ^ was only midnight , he desired to be called at four o ' clock , and was soon again sleeping soundly . At four o'clock , agreeably to his request , he was awoke by the turnkeys , aud on his rising commenced writing . He was thus occupied , we understand , on the arrival of the Rev . Ordinary . At half-past six Mr . Newman , the priucipalturnkey passed through the ward of the prison in which we were , bearing the chalice towards the cejlin which the prisoner was confined . After the sacrament had been administered to him , breakfast was taken in , of which , wo understand , he partook but sparingly . At a quarter before eight o ' clock w « were conducted to tne yard adjoining the

    condemned cell . The yard was crowded with well * dressed visitors , some of whom evidently belonged to the upper classes of society . We are sorry to say that ia some instances their anxiety to witness the preparations for the execution of tho last sentence of the law on the criminal , led them to press and crowd uaiBily into the cell , utterly regardless of that decorum which all ought to observe in the chamber of death . The unhappy criminal , however , did not appear disturbed by this unseemly interruption , but seemed totally absorbed in attending to < £ « exhortations of the 'Reverend Ordinary , repeating the prayers after him in a low tone . Shortly beftee he was pinioned , Mr . Sheriff Evans requested him , as

    we understood , to write something on a pa . uer . Courvoisier immediately complied , and with tLtm and steady hand wrote , what he was requested to write . This writing betrays nothing Dike agitation * or nervousness in the writer , and cannot be distinguished from his ordinary band . At eight o ' clock the knell of the prison , bell was heard , and the funeral procession of the living dead commenced , Courvoisier looked pale but calm , and quite ' firm . He followed the Rev . Ordinary with steady a ^ id unfaltering Btep . The limb ? trembled not—the eye wandered not 1 —the lip quivered not—beyond excessive paleness there was no outward appearance ; to ,-betoken the agony wjthin . Neither Wj 5 rether . e any visible sigak * of strong mental effort . to suppress the outward

    Untitled Article

    workings of inward anguish ., The eye was not fixed , neither was the ^ p oompresied . ^ Tne countenance was calm as thai of a child . As he entered the yard he seized the hand of the turnkey between bis , and shaking it with great warmth expressed by bis looks . the gratitude he felt for the kindness he had experienced . The procession then proceeded through the dark and g loomy passages of the prison to the place of execution . The appearance of Courvoisier

    on the scaffold was the signal for a terrific burst of execration from the assembled thousands below ; he however appeared totally unmoved by it , and stood firmly underneath the fatal beam while the executioner proceeded with his dreadful preparations . These were soon completed—the fatal bolt was withdrawn , the drop fell , and after a few convulsive struggles the spirit of the murderer had left this world to meet the spirit of his victim before the judgment-seat of God .

    At the moment the culprit was turned off a gang of thieves raised a cry of "Mad bull , " which caused the utmost alarm and confusion in Giltspur-street ; the rush to escape exceeds description ; many hundreds were thrown to the ground ; persons standing in light carts were overturned , and very considerable mischief and serious accidents occurred ; several persons were taken to Bartholomew ' s Hospital , having sustained fractured arms and other injuries . During the hour the culprit was suspended there was a continual influx of new comers , so that the crowd lost but little of its density . Some of the spectators who had hired apartments , had occupied them from eleven o ' clock on the previous evening , and they appeared to have been well supplied with cigars and potations . There were several persons

    in a Btate ot great exhaustation from having stood for five hours pressed against the barriers , but retreat was impossible . The police were on the alert , and it is due to them to state that they performed their duty in a very efficient manner . When the clock struck nine , the body was cut down and taken to the dead room , where some artists , were in attendance to take a cast preparatory to ifS interment , which took place in the evening , in the . uBual burial-ground , within the walls of the prison . On Saturday the prisoner wrote a very long confession , and delivered it to Mr . Carver , the Ordinary , and Mr . Band , the Minister of the French Protestant chapel , in Threadneedle-street . It does not contain any fact with which the public are not already acquainted .

    SOUTH DURHAM AGITATION

    Bishop Auckland . —A meeting of delegates from South Church , West Auckland , Chapel Row , Darlington , Stockton , Counden , and Evenwood , was held here on Tuesday last , when it was determined to invite Mr . Thomason , of Newcastle , to become the missionary for South Durham , in the event of Mr . Binns being imprisoned at the approaching Assizes . The several delegates gave very favourable reports of their districts , and the plan of organisation only requires diligence and perseverance to crown all our efforts with success . A Word to Joseph Pease , Es < j ., M . P . —Why do your coal-viewers threaten to turn old men off work if they should happen to be Chartists ? Has not a collier as much right to his opinions as you have to yours ? If your estate was to be confiscated because you were a Whig , you would cry out at the injustice of the deed ; yet your coal-viewers are guilty of those very practices that you would condemn in others ! You may plead

    ignorance of the fact ; but if your possessions are too great to be managed well—if you have too many goods , ' you know the Christian remedy is , " He that hath two coats , let him give one to him who has none . " " Love your neighbour as yourself , " Joseph , or lay aside that simpering smile and niggardly cut , that only proclaims your hypocrisy . Ignorant of the fact , indeed ! Perhaps tis true . We sometimes see you posting up to St . Stephen ' s—carriage-and-four—with your " Humanity to Animals' Bill" cut up into lashes and spurs , to keep in , with your laggard vote , a tottering and traitorous Government ; and it is possible your eagerness to support bad government in Parliament , may have made you . " ignorant of the fact" of bad government at home . And is this the man who had inscribed upon his electioneering banners , " Seldom equalled and never surpassed" ? What is meant by this ? Certainly not consistency . Oh no t " seldom equalled" for making pledges— " never surpassed" for breaking them !

    Chapel Row . —The Chartists here are getting into their clossf b . We hope there is net a man in this place who is a Chartist at heart , but will get enrolled . ¦ If he is not in a class , his light is " under a bushel . ' , That pretended liberality which says , "I wish you well , but I will not join you , " won't do . It is the language of the coward . We must guard against it If a man thinks we axe right , and does not unite with us , he is a dangerous , dishonest , useless man . We can forgive a man who thinks we are wrong , for he is justified in refusing to aid us . But the same principle that justifies the refusal of his aid , absolutely requires the fearless aid of our professed friends . Consistency requires it " To your tents , then , O Israel . " Organise ! Like the Jews of old , let us have " rulers over tens , rulers over fifties , rulers over hundreds , and rulers over thousands . " Onward ! Onward !! Onward !!! ¦

    .- ' ¦ " On 1 in virtue ' s sacred cause , , ; With lion-flag unfuri'd ! On , Englaud . ' to the rescue Of a tyrant trampled world . " West Auckland . —Here we are I unvonquishable both in spirit and numbers . The tree of liberty that stands on our village green will scarcely cover us when it rains now , we are increasing so . And it is neither a small tree nor a young one . It has " Stood some fifty years The battle and the breeze . " Oh ! they are " hearts of oak" that gather there Honest , independent hearts they are ! People say we

    ore all poor men only . Poor indeed ! but that is no crime . Alexander was a robber , bat he was rich . Christ was a Redeemer , and he was poor . " The foxes have holes , the birds of the air have nests , but the son of man hath not where to lay his head "! He was poor . We wonder whether our oppressors would have reverenced his precepts more than they now do if he had been as rich in gold pb Rothschild . There is plenty of room for reverential improvement They seem to despise the Saviour and his commandments , as they do us and our . Charter , because we are poor . Why , if gold constitutes virtue , how little we bring into the world , and how little we carry out of it !

    " What though on homely fare we dine , Wear hoddon grey , and a' that , Gie fools their silks and knaves their wine , A man's a man for a' that " Barnard Castle—Mr . Binns addressed a large meeting of tho inhabitants of this place in Stortforth Green , on Tuesday last . Some classes were formed , and we anticipate a formidable organisation here soon . Go on ! men of Barnard Castle . Tis a glorious Charter Organise ! South CHURCH . —The people of this place are in

    good spiilts—have several classes organised , and are determined to push on the movement Let the clasess be attended to , for , unless classes are formed , funds raised , missionaries employed , tracts published , it is no use . Get into your classes , men of South Church I You were the first here to take the field , see that you are the last to leave it It used to be said " one Englishman is equal to five Frenchmen any day ;" but ene enrolled Chartist is worth a score of those drowsy slaves , who will do nothing good , or anything bad , to please their guilty taskmasters .

    Evenwood . —This place is getting its classes formed at lost Come forward , ye trampled sons of toil Tyranny has had its day . The world is groaning be neath its wrongs . The cup of indignation is nearly full . Trembling wealth and dungeon chains toll us of its fate ! Press on with the Charter ! Come Wesleyans , Banters , Baptists , all sorts , u Press forward , press forward , the prize is in Tiew , A crown of bright glory is waiting for you . "

    London and Blackwall Railway . —The opening of the London and Blaokwall Railway , on Saturday , presents to the commercial world an immense saving of time , risk , and expense .

    A Drunkard ' s Adventure . —At a teetotal meeting , held in the Wesleyau Chapel pf Worton , on the evening of Wednesday , the 24 th nit , T . Moore , » reformed drunkard , of Market L&vington , said , in his address to ; * he audience— Many of you know me ; aud you know what a poor miserable and degarded wretch \ have , been ; but you do not know all the misery and wretchedness which I have experienced . Upon one occasion I went from home , and meeting with some of my drunken companions , we spent every farthing of our money in the publichouse , where we remained the most of the day . When the evening . arrived , it became very wet , and as we were some distance from home , we requested the landlord to sJlew us to sleep over night amongst some straw hr his stable . This request was not

    granted , although we ; had spent all our money in his house ; so we were turned out in the dark , when the rain was descending in torrents . On our way home , through a field , we came to % rick of straw , and , being thoroughly , . tired and drenched with wet . we determined to laddie in the straw till the morning . Early next ' morning , my companions got up , and went home ; but I was so weak that I could not accompany them , and was therefore obliged to x'emain amongst the straw . After some time , two kvrmers , with a gun , came past , and , observing a ho > amongst the straw , one of them said , "There ' s a fo * amongst , the straw .

    LOCB £ B . .. ¦• Public Mketinq . —On the evening of Wednesday , June 24 , a public meeting was held here , when Mr George Reed , from Dundee , delivered a lecture oa the evils of the present political and ecclesiastical institutions of this country , and pointed out the cure . The lecturer clearly showed how little reason there was to expect that efforts weuld be put forth by the clergy towards the mental emancipation of the people , the interest of the clergy being to keep those willing to be led by them , the dupes of their own dogmas . Equally faint was the hope that any thing would be done on the part of the ascendant Whigs towards ameliorating the physical condition of the working classes . The paths' to be pursued by the people therefore was , by united , persevering , ana systematic exertion , to raise themselves ^ n the scale of intellectual , moral , and physical existence . Aftet the lecture , resolutions in favour of Feareus

    O'Connor , Esq ., Frost , Williams , Jones , and the other incarcerated Chartists , were adopted by the meeting . The resolutions were similar to those passed on the Magdalen Green , Dundee . A petition to the House ot Commons , demanding the immediate liberation of the patriot O'Connor , and' all others imprisoned fox political offences , and the restoration of Frost , &c , to their country and families was then agreed to , ana sent to T . Duncombe for presentation . Several persons addressed the meeting , and a committee was appointed to watch the progress of events , that we may be prepared to act is concert with any plan that may be generally approved by our brethren for obtaining our just-. rights . We , in this northern clime , look anxiously to the Chartists of England j we hope it will not be long before they shall fix on some well digested plan , and forsake it not until th © Charter is the law of the land .

    OVERLAND MAIL FROM CHINA AND

    INDIA . Saturday ' s papers fill several columns with intelli * gence from China and India , brought by the over * land mail from Bombay . * " - The death of the Empress of China is announced in the Pekin Gazette , but the day ia not mentioned The Empress had been marriedeight or nine years to the old Emperor , and had borne him three children . During the years 183 $ and 1836 , she exercised great influence over her husband , and procured appoint * meats for many of her " creatures" to the highest offices in the provinces . Latterly her importance had diminished , and a party which she was supposed to lead had been entirely excluded from all offices at court . The whole nation was to go into mourning for a month , and the Mandarins were ordered not to shave for a hundred days .

    Great uneasiness prevailed at Pekin ; and the opinion was general that the death of the Emperor would be folio wed by a revolution . Slight and accidental disturbances caused much alarm . At the per * formance of sacrifices in honour of the deceased Empress , a rafter of the temple caught fire , bat was soon extinguished . The Emperor was very indignant , and it was expected that the attendants would loose their heads . A high civilian" had been accused of smoking opium , tortured into a confession of the crime , and sentenced to transportation to Ele . Several military officers and common soldiers had been punished for the same offence .

    An edict had been issued authorising the re-opening of the Portuguese trade at Macao , on the ground that the Portuguese authorities had expelled the English , who are very well known to be there , and unmolested all the time . It was supposed that the . Chinese authorities would take possession of Macao . The Americans were expected soon to leave Canton . One of their firms had issued a circular declining to receive any more consignments of English goods . The Chinese were preparing fire-rafts to act against the English fleet , and drilling a body of soldiers , who use two swords , one in each hand ; and , by the clashing of these weapons , terror was to be struck into the foe ! The Druid had arrived off Canton , but no other Bhipof war up to the 27 th of March—the date of the latest accounts "from Canton . At Singapore , opium was selling at from 500 to 650 dollars a chest .

    from Bombay the intelligence reaches to the 23 d of May . It is said that Sir Alexander Burneshad written to several persons , describing the proceed * ings of the Russians as calculated to excite apprehension . On the approach of the Russians to Chiva-. the Khan's troops ran away on the first fire ; and it would seem that they entered the place without experiencing serious opposition . They were exercising absolute power at Chiva , and were in communication with the Khan of Bokhara . Sir Alex-1

    anderBurnes does not believe that the Russians Would have despatched so considerable a force to Chiva—30 , 000 men , with" severity-two pieces of caunou—merely to liberate a few slaves . Activity in the military and naval departments at Bombay prevailed , and an impression existed that the movements of Russia ? occasioned ; it . A writer iu . the Calcutta Englishman says that Captain Abbott , who had been from the army of Afghanistan to Chiva , towatch the Russians , had been thrown into prison by the Khan of Chiva . A terrific hurricane had devastated the town of Poolee and the surrounding district to Orissa .

    Dpbl in Kilbuhn Fields . —Monday morning , si six o'clock , a hostile meeting took place in one of the Kilburn Fields , between Antonio Garbonia , Esq .. and Nicholas Koehoff , Esq . On the firat fire Mr * . Garbonia received his antagonist ' s ball in his left groin , and fell . Mr . K . advanced to Mr . G ., and shook hands with him , and immediately quitted the ground with bis friends . The unfortunate sufferer was removed to a carriage , and conveyed to his lodgings in Albany-street , Rcgeut ' e-park . The cause of the meeting arose from disputed betting , on Saturday night , at tsoms billiard-room , in the vicinity of the quadrant . The wound , it is feared , will prove mortal .

    The Shebiffs gave a good dinner to the Judges a few . days since . This is something better than being " shopped up" in the " cells" of the House , enlarging one's liver to an inordinate size , and having a certificate of one ' s health sent up once a month for the edification of Honourable Members , and the gibes of the press . To be sure , theirs was a different misdemeanour from . Feargus O'Connor ' s , and did not include the necessity of lying on an iron bed * stead , and eating black bread , andihaving water to drink . The cell allotted to them was not an hermit ' s cell , but well stocked with the best of everything . Still it is much pleasanter to gorge in good air , with the liberty of asking one ' s friends to assist in the ceremony , and the Sheriffs cannot be too thankful that their patriotic duties did not require them to forego the pleasure of feasting their friends iu the fashion most agreeable to their feelings .

    Cubjous Statistical Inquiry !—The situation of public executioner has been in France from , time immemorial eagerly sought after . Notwithstanding that executions have become comparatively rare in that country , the candidates for the office ofbourreau are incredibly numerous , and , it would appear , are , generally speaking , men of substance , if not of consideration . " Out of forty applications for the place of executioner , " says the National , " seven were backed by the recommendations of deputies . No doubt those seven candidates were electors . This

    reminds us of a fact mentioned some time since in a provincial paper , the Harode Caen , in a town , the name of which we forget , the executioner was an elector , and the first President of the Royal Court was not . "—In order duly to appreciate that which we have just written ^ it mould be recollected that the qualification for an elector is , that he should pay of divect taxes 300 f . per annum , and that the whole constituency of Fra&ce is hardly 200 , 000 . It thence appears that of-thise 200 , 000 of-ther i / t /< f of France ,, one at least in 5 , 000 desires to become an executioner k-ZtW * .

The poor , girl offered every resistance in her power , but her cries and entreaties had no effect upon the monsters by whom she was so inhumanly assailed . * One of the wretches held a drawn knife ever her , and , with the most horrid imprecations , threatened to murder her if she attempted to cesirt .
