The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and tho functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes ita atal results either to negleot or ignorance . In the first stage it is always looal , and easy to be extin-

guished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local afiection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded inonaent , and by adisease which is not iu its own nature fatal , aud which never proves so if properly treated .

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the h » ad , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bune , ulcerated sore throats diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and hmbS j tillat length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings .

SECOND EDITION . ?—TERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER , FELODE-SE , AND DEODAND OF £ 2 , 000 . — ADJOURNED INQUEST AT HARROW . Wednesday evening , a * six o ' clock , Mr . Wakler , **• , £ tlie Coroner for the Western Division for Middlesex , and the Jury who were empanelled before him on the 16 th ultimo , to investigate into the circumstances connected with the deaths of Joseph Simpson and William Dawson , the two « nfortonate men who were killed on the night of the 12 th nit ., on the line of the London and Biroingliam Railway , at Harrow , re-assembled to ^ omplete their melancholy enquiry . William Qainlan , who was stoker to Simpson ' s ttigbe , and who had bsen so hurt as to preclude his E ' ving evidence before , -was th ' . n examined in his d-chamber , he having sufficiently recovered to be able to undergo it . From his evidence , it resulted
that Simpson was a most reckless driver , seldom or erer looking before him ; and that , when the accident happened , though hs saw the red lights at Harrow , and was going at the rate of twenty-five ffiQes an hour , he only let off about three-fourths of the steam , the other fourth being enough to keep the engines in full stclng . Witness asked him twice , as they approached the red lights , to let off all the steam , but he refused to do so . A policeman also met them on the line , and called to them , but Simpson took no notice tehaiever of him . A complaint had been made to the superintendent of Simpson ' s conduct on a former occasion , when a bollock had been run over by his train . This being the whole of the evidence ,
The Corokkb summed at great length , made some ¦ evere remarks on the conduct of Simpson , the driver , and eon eluded by saying—He was sure the Jury would not fail to return a verdict which would impress on the minds of all persons connected with railways , not only what the law was upon this subject , but also what great and weighty responsibilities the servants of railways would incur by disobedience of orders , or disregard of those obligations which have been imposed upon them by the duties cf their ¦ tation . With these remarks he would leave the « ase in their hands . The Jury retirsd for about three hours , and finally returned the following verdict— We find a verdict in the case of William Dawson , Wilful Murder gainst Joseph Simpson ; and in the case of Joseph Simpson , Felo-de-te . We impose a deodand of £ 2 jOO 0 ntne engine and tenders Ko . 15 and No 82 . "
Mr . Rotch , the foreman , then read the following bservatious of the Jurj ;— ° The Jury c&niiot conclude iheir labours without expressing their surprise and regret at the manifest inefficiency of the executive of the Company as connected with the matters that have come before them in this inquiry . The Directors seem to have passed and printed many excellent ralee and _ resolutions , wkich have been neglected to be carried out and enforced , while in ¦ oxne instances printed instructions have been given to a data of men unable , far want of education , to read them ; and in Bome case 3 persons appear to have been put on as drivers of engines , having the whole condoc ; of the trains , without being duly qualified for the purpose .
u The Jury consider great blame is attributable o the Directors for continuing in their service such a recklea driver as the unfortunate man Simpson ; and they are forcibly struck with the ignorance of the executive of the numerous acts of disobedience and wanton carelessness on his part , which have fceen produced before them in evidence . "Considering the immense importance to the public » f safe eoaauct in a mode of conveyance over which they are deprived of all controul . or , when in Kiotisa , erea of the povrer of remonstrance or complaint , and are entirely at the mercy of the engineariver , the Jury feel the public have a right to expect that some person of superior education * nd attainments as an engineer should be . appointed u a captain of each train , to proceed with it and ondnei is to its fi-., al destinatson . The night signal « re evidently i&siifnoien ; ., and yet no efficient means ¦ eem : o have been adopted to improve them , while it is evident ihat no security can be attained until a
meaas ot communieanon oetweu the guards and the engine-drivers is established . To ail which matters the Jury feel is i * tneboundon duty of the Directors to turn their isimedme and earnest attention . ' At the cjuciuiion of the inquest , Mr . Jago , gent of Lora Northwiek , Lord of the Manor , pat in a claim fcr the deodand of £ 2 . 000 .

He had neither coat nor hat on , and appeared as though he had been washed about three months since . The policeman who brought the charge (!) said that there were some clothes put out to dry near the place where the prisoner was standing , and he , because ho was rather suspiciously looking , took him into custody . The lad said he worked in an iron-foundry , but was not at his employment on the day in question , because the " bum bailies " came to the works .

Another Tbiumpit of Chartism . —During the last week this town has been fully placarded , giving notice of a public lecture to be given on Wednesday evening , in the Town Hall , S&lford , by Mr . George Thompson , on the white slaves of British India . The Chartists resolved to attend , on purpose tojascertain whether this gentleman exported all his sympathy abroad to the black slaves , or whether either he or his friends had any for home consumption . Finding , as they expected , that Mr . Thompson's sympathies were all enjoyed on the other Bide of the Atlantic , a counter addross was moved , seconded , and carried in slashing style by the brave Chartists . A report of this important meeting has been sent us , but arrived so late that we cannot possibly have either room or time for its insertion . Suffice it , that the people's triumph was complete .
BURNXEV . At the weekly meeting of the Burnley National Charter Association of Great Britain , it was unanimously resolved , "That the thanks of this meeting are due , and are hereby given , to the Rev . Wm . Hill , editor of the Northern Star , for his able advocacy of the people's rights , and particularly for , aa they think , the complete overthrow of Neddy and all his Whic clique of Household Suffrageists , along with the Fox and Goose Club . " 2 ud . " That the for 'going resolution be inserted in tho Star . "
BABNSLEY . National Charter Association . —The usual weekly meeting waa held at Mr . Peter Hoey ' s , and after the enrolment of a few nembeTs , aud , the usual routine of business being gone through , the following resolution was carried unanimously : — '' That the thanks of this Association aro hereby due , and justly given , to the brave men of Norwich , for their independent opposition to the base hypocrites of tho law church , and tho tyrannical landed proprietors of tho County of Norfolk , in public meeting assembled , who thus boldly stripped these humanity-mongers of their false charity , and have
Bhown them to the world in all their hideous deformity . The wives of Messrs . Hoey , Abhton , and Crabtree return Mr . Clarkbon , solicitor , of Bradford , their mo 3 t sincere thanks for his kindly and timely relief , by providing them with the means to buy flannels for their hu = bands , to protect them from the inclemency of cold yard * , and damp cells ; for a fire is a thing unknown to th ^ m in Wakefield hell . The following extracts from Peter Hoey's letter may be interesting to the readers of th-o Star ; therefore , I send th ? m for insertion : — "'I need not tell you that my friend , Mr . Lewis , c ; iliod to see ma on the 17 th of November . " In his last letter lie reforred
to a correspendencc between the magistrates of tho North Riding , and the Marquis of Normanby , relative to W . Martiu . " My case is similar to his . When 1 received the letter I spoke to the Governor , to get his opinion , as I would wish to board myself ; but he told me he thought there would be no chance . To use his candid and gentlemanly words— ' The Marquis of Normanby gave privilege to one of you to board himself , and do as he thought proper , but you are not the individual . ' * * Since Mr . Lewis was here I asked leave of the Governor to see the m&giatrates wheu they meet again . He said I might with pleasure ; but he thought they would meet in the Court House ; therefore , I intend to dr » w up a request that thev would be plea 6 ed to
grant us leave to board ourselves . I omitted mentioning that the magistrates would not comply with the Marquia ' s order , unless that the three got the same privilege . I have received an account of the state of the country , which gives me to understand that the panic was not concluded in Barnsley when I left , and that the system of wholesale robbery was carried on by the very men who raised the warwhoop against the Chartists ; but I think the enemies of that measure may see by this time that the more they fiil the prisons , the more they call forth the moral strength of the working classes . . I am happy to sa . y that that persecution cannot break the organisation which will , in despite of every opposition , carry that much desired measure , the People ' s Charter . Let the people pursue their object peaceably , and the time is not far distant
when their efforts will bo crooned with success . 1 also understand tha , t the Repeal question is making great strides in Eu ^ mad . Yes , the English Radicals are for a repeal of all bad lawB , and the enactment of good ones ; but there is one thing I would wish to know , namely , when the Union is repealed , will the uew Parliament be returned on the principle of Universal Suffrage ? If so , huzza fcr the Repeal But I think this question will even be a match for my respected friend , J . Ryan , who , I am happy to hear , is in the march of Reform ; and as he always had a . good share of prudence , he thought proper to join the Temperance Society . I think I hear the subject discussed between Messrs . Norton aud Ryan on the on © side , and Dr . Wright and Frank Mirfield on the other .

KEIGHLEY . RUPAL POLICE . —The following aecount of the proceedings of the Rural Police , established at Colno , is given by Mr . Thomas Knowles , of Keighley , and may serve to show the public the great benefits they will derive from their being properly established . Being at Come , a few days ago , on a visit to his sister and brother-in-law ; he , along with the rest of the family , were awakened about twelve o ' ClOCK at night by some persons on the roof of the house , who , after making a good deal of noise , at lost made their appearance in the garret , where part of the family were in be % The first impression on the minds of the inmates , as might be supposed , was , that some midnight ruffians had broken into the hou 3 e to rob , or perhaps murder
them . The descent of the person who had forced an entrance , was announced by a loud thump on the floor , and the flash of a lantern , which so alarmed the family that a female , lying in the apartment , fell sicfe through fear . On a more close examination of the nocturnal visitors , which was facilicated by the light , it was found that the person in the room was one of the Rurals , who wa » supporting himself with his hands en the floor , and examining the apartment with the lantern , while twe or three of the gang were holding him by the legs and breech on the roof of the house , to prevent him from falling . On being questioned as to the cause of his bold and novel mole of housebreaking , he began to explain himself by asking , if there was any person in the house besides the family . Being informed that there was only th « wife ' s brother , and ascertaining , by a number of impertinent questions , that be could not be the person they were in search of ,
the intruder , together with his lantern , were drawn up again by his comrades , and the skylight closed . After performing a number of similar visits to different houses in the row , by introducing themselves at the skylights , they again made their appearance as before , one of them descending head-first with a lantern , and asking the usual questions—if there was any person in the house besides the family . These extraordinary visits were repeated three different times during the night , when Mr . K and his brother-in-law lost all patience on their third visit , and told the fellow with the lantern that if he did not take himself up through the skylight , and allow them to have a little rest , to enable them to follow their work next day , they would certainly use forcible means to make him . The man in office , a little intimidated by the growing impatience of the inmates , gave the signal to be hoisted up , and during his exit , while mounting feet first , took the opportunity of thrMfrintng them with th » fall weight

of hia power for daring to interrupt him In the ptrformance « f bis midnight duties . At the ; conclusion of the skylight business , the gang commenced going to the doors of the houses , and demanding admittance , on pretence of searching for a thief . Persons bold enough to make any objection , ware threatened again with dreadful pains and penal ties , if the / did not immediately comply ; and n un * ben of the Inhabitants , both men and women , were roused oat of bed in their shirts and shifts , to accommodate these myrmidons , while searching their houses .
On the gang going again to the house in which Mr . K . was , or rather should have been sleeping , he told them , very candidly , that their conduct was worse than that of the Inquisition ; aud should they attempt a forcible entry , he would feel himself justified in Bhooting the first man who broke in . This again produced a quantity more of threats about what they would do at him in the morning , when they took themselves away . These are facts , and may serve to shew the people of England the true nature and meaning of the term ; Rural Police , and that an Englishman ' s house is not intended to be his castle much longer .
[ All we can say to this extraordinary atoiy is , that if the-rascal ' s head , when first protruded through the skylight , had been soundly beaten with a poker , it might have taught him ft valuable lesson as to the powers and duties of a policeman , and would certainly have been a very proper and justifiable proceeding on the part of the inmates . —Ed . ]
UBEDS . The Theatre . —W « have had little time lately for amusement , and hence have been unable to give much information of the performances at the Theatre . We have perceived , from announcements , that Mr . Carter , the famous beast tamer , has been astonishing the natives with his power of commanding tho brindled inhabitants of the forest . We saw a portion of one of his performances and were much pleased with the triumph of human intellect over savage power , evinced by the extraordinary docility of Tub lions , tigers , and leopards . The benefits are now going on , and we perceive from an advertiser ment in our present paper , that Mr . L . S . Thompson ' s night is fixed for Friday , the 11 th . We have
had ocoasion frequently to apeak of this promising young actor in terms of well-merited commendation . The pieces selected by him for his benefit are such as to display his own powers of acting to great advantage , and have tne additional advantage , two of them , at least , of being standing favourites with the . public . We have not had the pleasure of seeing Mr . L . S . Thompson's "Tyke , " but we know enough of the general style of his playing Yorkshire characters to know that the lovers of genuine homely pathos and feeling of the exhibition of strong passion in uneducated
life , may calculate upon a treat . Of his " Blueskin " we need say nothing ; he is too well known in it . We sincerely hope that Mr . Thompson will be gratified with that " cordialto an actor ' s heart , " » bumper house . Mrs . Frost . —Collected by Andrew Gardiner and Joseph JoneB , for Mrs . Frost : —Mr .

Peter ' s Square , Leeds , when upwards of flfiy members and their friends sat down to an excellent dinner provided for the occasion , which gave general satisfaction , and reflected groat credit on the host for the liberality and taste displayed on the occasion .
Leeds Catholic Total Abstinence Society . — The members and friends of this important society , which has been productive of a vast amount of good among the Irish residents in this town , held their weekly meeting , as usual , on Wednesday evening , when animated addresses were delivered by Messrs . John Andrews , T . B . Smith , and — Spence . Mr . Smith spoko , for a considerable time , in a strain of enthusiastio congratulation in the great and glorious results which had followed the introduction of teetotalism into this country , America , and Ireland , and detailed with much animatednesa the particulars of the recent temperance demonstrations connected with the foundation of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society in the town of Hull . Mr . Spence also brought
before tha audionce some striking facts connected with the uisier country , which appeared to make a deep impression upon the majority of tho audience .

Mr . lllingworth , of Vicar-lane , addressed them at considerable length in favour of the principles of the Charter .

Williams and Binns to separate tea parties in each ward , on tho occasion of the approaching visit of those patriotic young men to Leeds .
Town Council . —A meeting of this body was called by tha Mayor to vote addresses of congratulation to the Q , ueon , her husband , and her mother , on the " happy event" which has recently taken place . They had no sooner assembled , however , thau a tremendous row took place , iu consequenceof the Tories inquiring whether it was true that the Town Clerk ' s employes , were at work the other Sunday ] Mr . Town Clerk would not give a direct reply to the question , though he had admitted that ho hal worked on Sundays before now ; but that in such cases he never charged for it—a proof , he said , thathealwaysworkedon that day as little as possible , and which , indeed , if true , must be ad mi : ted by all
as tolerably satisfactory ; for lawyers , like most men , are not fond of working lor nothing . The Mayor , however , acknowledged that the Town Clerk was at work lately on a Sunday , to forward the Chancery Suit . Theaddresses were then severally proposed by Alderman Tottie , and carried ncm con ., though Alderman Musgrave , by allusion to the " bloody old Cumberland , " sought to provoke tho Torios into a defence of their champion and favourite ; but they had sense enough to hold their tongues ; and so the Aiderman was disappointed . A committee having been appointed to confer with the West Riding magistrates , with reBpect to the enlargement of the House of Correction at Wakefield , the Council adjourned .

We have received the London journals of Friday . The following are extracts : — Fatal Accident on the Birmingham and Derby Railway . —Birmingham , Thursday Evening . — The train which left this town at five p . m ., on its arrival at Whiteacre Heath , near Coleahill , came in oontact with a truck on the line , the consequence of which was that the engine was thrown off the rails . The first-oiasa carriages then broke away from the tender , and ran on without the engine , but one or more of the third-class carriages in the rear were thrown over , and one unfortunate passenger killed on the spot . Tho stoker was likewise pitched from the tender ,
and report sijates , died this morning . Whether this be true or not , I cannot positively ascertain , but all accounts agree in representing him most seriously , if not fatally , injured . Many of the passengers received severe bruises and contusions , but , with the exception of the parties already named , I believe few of them experienced injuries of much consequence . The man killed waa in humble life , formerly a horsekeeper in Birmingham , and , from all 1 heard I am inclined to believe , although riding in one of the carriages at the time of his death , a servant in the employ of the Derby Railway Company . Correspondent .
Accident on the Eastern Counties Railway . — On Tuesday , the 1 st instant , an accident , which might have been attended with serious results , occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway . The train left Brentwood at three o ' clock , p . m ., and proceeded to within a mile and a half of the btratford Station , when the attention of the passengers was called to an uneasy jumping motion of tho carriages ; repeated concussions were heard , and at length it was ascertained that the tender and a second-class carriage next to the tender were both off the line . The engine-driver must certainly have used great caution and skill in gradually stopping the train , otherwise the whole of the carnages must have been overturned . The guard , who was upon the roof of the carriage , was in a very perilous situation , and was compelled to hold on with all his strength .
Dreadful Accident . —Yesterday ( Tuesday ) afternoon , a most frightful accident occurred' at the cotton-mill of Messrs . Cartwright . A girl named Gilby was accidentally caught by the machinery , and killed upon the spot , her body being mangled in a dreadful manner . —Blackburn Gazette .
