In consequence of Dr . Wilkinson ' s extensive practice he has considered it advisable to remove from Hunslet , to 60 , bottom of Templar-street , for the greater convenience of his patients , where he may be consulted as usual . DR . "WILKINSON , Surgeon , No . 60 , Bottom of Templar ' s Street , Leeds , continues , with unabated assiduity , to eradicate every species of Infection . In recent cases , a perfect cure is completed within a week , or no charge made for Medicines after the expiration of that period , And in thoseof the utmost inveteracy , where other Practitioners have failed , a proper perseverance in Ms plan of treatment in 5 ures to the patient , & safe , well grounded , and lasting re-establishment , consulted with the greatest secrecy and honour , at his house from nine to one , and from four till nine , and on Sundays till two . . He hopes that the successful , easy , and expeditious mode he has adopted , of eradicating every symptom of a Certain Disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , aad yet preserving the constitution in full Trigour and free from injury , will establish his claims for support . As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed , therefore the Practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular Case in such a manner as not merely to Temove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can avail himself of the greatest improvements in modera practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice after due consideration of all circumstances . In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill . Patient * labouring under this Disease , cannot be too cautious into whose "hand they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently - passing the ordeal of several Practitioners , before he ia fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some » f the many symptoms that distinguish this Disease : —a general debility , eruptions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swellings in the neck , nodes on the shin'bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism , &c . &c . . Patients in the country , by stating their cases and enclosing a remittance , may have proper remedie ent to the amount , with directions so simple and plain , that parties of either sex may cure themselves .

Inconsequence ef numerous applications continually received from Bradford and the Neighbourhood one of the Proprietors of Dr . Henry ' s French Meroine Pills , will attend every Wednesday and Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , facing East Brook Chapel , Bradford . ' A TREATISE IS JUST PUBLISHED ON THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC DISEASES , AND GIVEN WITH EACH BOX OF DE . HENRY'S FRENCH MEROINE PILLS , F \ ONTATNTNG plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above com-\ J plaints—with ohserrationsBn seminal weakness arisingirom earl y abuses , and the deplorable . consequences resulting from the « se of mercury , the whole intended for the instruction of general readers so that all persons can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor , at No . 16 , PARK SQUARE , Leeds , where they may be consulted as usual . In Boxes 2 s . . 9 d . and 4 s . 6 d . each . "With each Box is given directions how to take these Pills , observations on points beneficial to the patient , being hints worth knowing by those who are , or have been , sufferers from this dreadful and devastating malady . V " ., ¦¦¦ That cruel disease which has destroyed so many thousands is now unhappily so well known that a recital of its effects is quite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritance from family to family , and when the great Doctor Henry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable benefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand panacea for the cure of this deplorable complaint . The certainty with which the Pills are contmually administered can be attested by many thousands who are annually cured by them . What medicUe can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The French Pills root out every particle of the insidious poison , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove the disease but they renovate by their action the different functions of the " body—expelling the grosser humour , and in a manner so imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury aor any other mineral , and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery ; they require no restraint of diet , loss of time , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete cure without the least exposure to the patient . At aayperiod when the slightest suspicion may exist it will be well to have recourse to the French Pills ; for ivhen taken before the disease hasmade its appearance they act as a certain preventive removing the complaint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons nave been when visiting the Doctor ( from the use of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered . " The Doctor , after an extensive practice of Thirty Years , has rendered his counsel art object of the utmost consequence to all who are labouring under hereditary or deep seated maladies ; to those troubled with seminal weakness , his advice will be invaluable ; hundreds have owned his skill in these complaints To the youth of both sexes , whether lured from health by the promptings of passion , or the delusions of ¦ inexperience , his advice is superior ; in bis practice he unites a mild gentleness of treatment , and possessiiie so thorough aknowledge of his art , the most deplorable cases afford no ' resistance to his skill . His extensive practice has rendered him the depositary of many distressing secrets which are kept with unblemished faith and honour ; to persons so afflicted , it s highly necessary to observe that an early application is of the greatest importance , and that with such a practitioner any hesitation in disclosing their disorder must amount to a delicacy as destructive as it is false and unnecessary . To the neglect of " such attention are . attributable many of those hapless instances , which , while they excite the comniiseratiori of the beholder , should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach . To all such , then , we address ourselves offering hope—energy—muscular strengtli—felieitp ; nor ought our ad-ranees to appear xjnestionahle , sanctioned as they arehy the multiplied proofs of thirty years' successful experience .

The Chief Jitetice of the province of Quebec , and Mr .

Justice Vallierre , will be sworn in , in sufficient time . These judges with Mr .

Resignation of Sir George Arthur , — A report is in town that Governor Arthur has tendered his resignation to the home government . We know not what degree of credit is to be attached to it . It issaid to be quite current at Toronto , and to have derived its source from the intimations given out by the Governor ' s secretary . The cause of this step is alleged to have been the amnesty act of Lord Durham .
( From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Thursday . ) The Resignation of Sir George Arthur —We learn that the agent of Governor Arthur , in this city , has received instructions from Toronto to suspend certain arrangements which he had been directed to make respecting the journey ! of Lady Arthur , who is expected by one of the Liverpool packets , from this city to Canada , This , if true , goes to confirm the rumour we mentioned a day or two ginee . *
( From the Quebec Gazette of the 6 th ult . ) There is no reason to doubt that a general movement of the refugees from Canada , in the United States , and the wortit description of their sympathising friends , has been directed along the line of the Upper Canada frontier , in the double view of their providing for themselves by plunder , and harrassing the . British Government , and occasioning large draughts on the Treasury . The last part of the plan was that recommended to the leaders in both provincesby theRoebucksandjChapmapsin England
, and assiduously acted upon by these leaders while they commanded majorities in the Houses of Assembly , and afterwards in their agitation meetings , which finally brought on the rebellion . It is not likely that they expect much success by these predatory attacks ; but the alarm which tht > y occasion along the frontier cheeks trade and industry , and must occasion great expenses , while it breeds ill feelings between the people of the provinces and the United States , which may ultimately extend to their governments .
( From the Toronto Palladium of July 4 . ) The publication of this number has been deferred to the last moment , in order to give the latest news from the west . It is not certain how many of the rebels or Yankee marauders have landed at or near the PortSarnia ; but it seems they crossed over in force to Bear Creek , and proceeded up that stream towards London . An engagement of our outposts has taken place , in which sixteen of the enemy were killed , and six taken prisoners j an dthe engagement terminated in the utter rout of the rebels . Our loss is said to be two killed .
Bot this is the day in which the grand e £ Fort is to be made , arid it will be well if our Privy Councillors are not still found to be in their night-caps . Important hews may be expected to-morrow ; and if it be as we anticipate , we shall issue an extra with the particulars . The editor of the Toronto Patriot , who a little while ago threatened the United States with utter extermination , now calls lustily for more troops to protect the Canauas from the blood-thirsty Yankees . He
says—The American people , Heaven knows , and we announce it in staring capitals , 'Do want the CanadaS j and will g et them if they can ¦; " ' and what is more , if we have not an army of 25 , 000 British soldiers during the next winter , they will have them , all the dicta of all the implicit reliers on American honour , integrity , and good faith to the contrary notwithstanding . " UNITED STATES . ( From the Express . )
IMPORTANT FROM PHILADELPHIA . At the meeting of the general committee of banks on Wednesday evening , the resolutions in favour of a convention reported by the sub-committee , were carried , not unanimously , but by a small majority . After this vote the Bank of the United States gave notice , that after the 1 st of August it should cease to pay or receive interest on bank balances , and would on that day be ready to adjust all such balances by payment . The Bank has sent a circular to institutions out of Philadel phia , with which it has balances , announcing the same fact , and added that the officers of the Bank do not mean that this should be
understood as an announcement of their intention to resume gpeeie payments generally on that day . Most of the letters from Philadelphia consider all the movements-as insuring a general resumption of specie payments on the 1 st of August . The dissolution of the general committee leaves each bank to act for itself . Mr . Biddle's control over the banks around him , whether exercised through this committee or otherwise , is evidently broken up , and he has been driven pell-mell to look resumption in the face , and under circumstances much more embarrassing than would have existed had he but united with the New York banksand made a
gene-, ral resumption in May . P . S . We had written thus far when the Philadelphia United States Gazette of yesterday morning came to hand , containing the proclamation of Governor Ritner who has proved himself a sound and sensible Whig , by signifying to those able-bodied lubbers within iWjurisdiction who say they can pay their debts , but will not , that unless they alter their minds before the 13 th of next month , he will make them ache for the omission . This , in the matter of specie payments , will bring- all the Pennsylvania banks including the « Great Regulator" over to the
, side of the New York banks ; and as nothing but the exam ple of the said regulator has prevented a resumption by the banks in several other states ere this , so it may be expected they will how , oiae and all , gather up their duds and ; resume . At any rate nothing but good- can grow , out of the proclamation , and we welcome it as a bright . spot in our financial horizon . ; The United States Gazette , one of Mr . Biddle ' s organs , says , " The document is an able and patriotic production , and one that will be received with joy by our citizens generally . " So we think .
( From the New York Daily Express of July 12 . > MORE TROUBLE .- ^ It is stated in th& Augusta Age that Dr . Holmes , who was appointed , by Governor Kent of Maine to explore and survey the public lands on the Aroostok , has been ordered off the territory by the British authorities , and has returned home . ' ( From the New York Daily Express o f July 14 . ) Money . — . The breaking up of Congress has given great relief to the mercantile community . So long as sub-Treasury schemes were suspended over the
public there was no confidence . The result being known , there is a better feeling manifested . The southern banks , particularly those in Pennsylvania , Maryland , and Virginia , are about resuming specie payments ; all this givesstrength to credit . The new banks that are organisin g in this city TWill no doubt have an immediate effect to restore business Although there is not as yet any visible change there is every appearance of a decided improvement .

Riot at Stockholm , 20 th Ult . —the tranquillity of this capital was again disturbed in a lamentable mariner . Yesterday , at noon , on a trifling alarm of fire in the Gothgotan , a crowd of people collected . The fire was soon extinguished , but it being reported that Crusenstolpe was to be removed to the fortress , the crowd , consisting partly of women , went towards the Town-hall . . Military precautions were here taken ; however , M . Oxenstierna , the Governor ad , interim , and Colonel Daewell , succeeded in inducing the mob to disperse . About nine in the evening , the mob again collected , which , in the official report of M . Haltberg , published in the State Gazette to-day , is estimated at between
700 and 800 , and in the report of Lieut . Sandels , at 2 , 000 or 3 , 000 persons . According to- the same official statements , the windows in the Town-hall were broken by stones thrown at them , and the patrols were likewise pelted . The disturbance was first caused by a number of foreign seamen , who were enraged because two of their comrades had been arrested in the afternoon . They were joined by a number or vagabonds ; the rest were curious spectators . Here and there were cries of " Crusenstolpe for ever ! " " Release him ! " &c . As all remonstrances were unavailing , Lieutenant Sandelsafter
, three successive warnings , which were answered by volleys of stones , gave orders to fire , by which two men were killed , and eight others more or less wounded . Meantime reinforcements arrived , and at one o ' clock in the morning tranquillity was perfectly restored , and no fresh disorder took place . At halfpast eight this morning , Crusenstolpe , accompanied by his wife , who had obtained permission , was transferred from his prison in the Town-hall onboard a sloop to the fortress of Haxholm . The people assembled about the Town-hall remained quiet , and no cries were heard .

CANINE TESTIMONY . Mansxon-House . —On Saturday , a strong instance of brute attachment was exhibited in the justice-room , before the Lord Mayor , in a casein which a dog of King Charles ' s breed was a subject of dispute . A person named Alloway stated that he had lost the dog , which went by the name of Fan , some months ago from his shop , and that a few days since , seeing the dog pass by with the defendant , who was a dog fancier , he thought the best thing he could do was to seize the animal , which knew him perfectly well , and insist upon detaining it as his property . The seizure was at oHce resisted by the defendant , and the matter was ultimately referred to the Lord
Mayor . His Lordship was obliged to examine' several witnesses , who were brought forward by both parties to prove that Fan was the property of both , and these witnesses swore so resolutely that his Lordship began to suppose that the dog must belike Sir Boyle Roche ' s bird , possess the capability of being in two places at one and the same time . It appeared that Fan had aince the complainant said he had lost her , grown from puppy hood into bitchhood , and it was attempted upon the part of the defendant to show that the marks of canine infancy disappeared as the animal advanced to the years of discretion ; while , on the other side , it was contended that the distinguished characteristics of thepup becamemore strongly developed by time .
The Lord Mayor , in the course of the long investigation , during which Fan was seated oh the table , occupied in alternately noticing the two claimants to her person , with affection , gave an opinion , founded upon various little indescribable circumstances , that the complainant was the legitimate owner . His Lordshi p , however , expressed a wish that he had some opportunity of testing the judgment of the merry little subject of dispute herself , to whose authority he was more . disposed to look for assistance in forming a correct estimate of the merits of the question than to that of any of the bipeds , by whom he was surrounded .
Mr . Hobler having , during the examination , noticed that the complainant mentioned that he had received Fan from a gentleman who resided in the borough , named Newsom , and who had Veen a most affectionate master , proposed that that person should be sent for . The Complainant—She was quite a pup when Mr . Newsom gave her to me ; but I dare . say , though she can ' t know him , that he well recollects her . The Lord Mayor immediately desired that Fan ' s first master should be sent for ; and a messenger was accordingly despatched to the borough .
Mr . Newsom , upon looking at the dog , whose back was turned to him , told the Lord Mayor that he had no doubt at all upon the subject . He then described the marks upon the breast , feet , and face of Fan , which at once set at rest all doubt , if any existed , of the identity of the animal . At this moment the defendant was fondling Fan , and the little good-humoured creature seemed to divide her affections equally between the claimants , turning from one to the other , as if to conciliate both . ¦ The Lord Mayor . —Perhaps she would know you , Mr , Newsom ?
No , my Lord , I don't think she would , as she was so young when I parted with her to the complainant , to whom I gave her when she had the distemper , upon condition that he would give me one of her first pups . Besides , her name is changed , I used to call her name Primrose . The instant the little creature heard the name of Primrose , she started from the hands of the defendant , and springing towards Mr . Newsom , actually flung her paws round his neck , licked his face , and howled with delight . " What do , you say to that , Mr . Defendant ? said the Lord Mayor . "Don't you think Fan knows her first master best ?"
Defendant . —Oh , my Lord , she'd go to any body . Here Fan , Fan , Fan ! Amidst the laughter of the whole office the defendant continued in vain to call her Fan . and " pretty bitch , " and to snap his fingers and chirrup to her . Primrose had , after a long absence , met her first love , and she could not part with him for any other suitor . The Lozd Mayor , —I thought I'd get some help from Fan herself , and I am much gratified at the unerring testimony which she has given . Mr . Allo . way , take her home , sheis yours , and you ought to be fond of her . Defendant . —But , my Laird—The Lord Mayor .. —What do you want more ? You don't suppose the dog tells a lie , do you ? Defendant . - I ' m blest if she a ' ntas . greata liar as her master , and no mistake . ( Loud laughter . )
The Lord Mayor . —I wish you had taken alesson from her ; if you had done so you'd have saved us all this trouble . This is a most valuable animal . Denfendant . —Begging your pardon , my Lord , I don't think she's any thing of the kind . I can tell you I take her for a different character , for I ' m sure she ' s a d—d bitch . ( Great laughter . ) ¦

Finding a Prize , —On Tuesday , Thomas Coles , a youth residing at No . 7 , Mermaid Court , Borough , was passing through Trinity ^ terrace , Newington , he observed a basket , with something in it , lying in the doorway of the house , No . 1 , ( the residence of a medical practitioner . ) Fancying he had found a prize , he hastened with the basket and contents to his mother , and no time was lost in openj ing and examining the basket , when the dead ^ body of a new-born infant was discovered ,- having a
severe hurt on the left side of the face ^ and a quantity of blood coming from its mouth , the result , would appear , of some internal injury . A letter was found in the basket , of which the following is a copy : — " Madam , or Sir , —I ask of a stranger that which I cannot do myself—to bury my dear infant , which you may see did come into the world for want of help ; this comes from one that will not be long in this world . " The body was subsequently sent by Inspector Hornsby to Newington workhouse .

pnnc ^ pally this practice , the depreciation in tbS weight of the gold coinage is so rapid , that bv ex ^ penments made at the Mint in the year 1833 it was found that the sovereigns of 1817 had lost 8 g lOd . in each hundred poHnds : those of 1821 9 s ii per hundred ; those of 1825 , 6 s . 8 d . " and " those of 1829 , 6 s . 2 d . per huhdred ; whilst upon the halfsovereigns coined in 1817 , the loss , according to th « same experiments , was as great as 16 s . id . per two hundred ; of 1821 , 13 s . lOd . ; of 1825 , 13 s . 'd ^ d . and of those of 1829 , 6 s , 2 d . per two-Tiu ' ndred half sovereigns . At this time the quantity of gold rejected by the Bank of England , and by ' the Customs
Excise , and btamp-ofnee , is so seriously complained of by the mercantile interest , that some remedy for these inconveniences and losses must be found it is thought , before a very long time .- —Morn ins Chronicle . , 8 Extraordinary Char « e .---On Thursday John Welsh , an elderly man , dressed as a bricklayer , attended at one of the Metropolitan Police offices with a police serjeant . .. of the B division , to solicit the Magistrates' assistance under the following circumstances : —Applican t said that between five and six years ago hisson
. a lad 17 years of age , was in the habit of spending his evenings occasionally at the Robin Hood , Church street , St . Giles ' s . Qn the New Year ' ght , fite years ago , there wa ^ what was termed a convivial or harmonic meeting a . t this house . A great deal of joking took place , and one man was particularlj picked upon as a subject of ridicule . This persoa was at last exceedingly incensed , and was abbot leaving the room , when some person gave him a slight tap pn the hat ! . The man on this returned took up a tobacco ipipe , and walking to the fir ^'
deliberately made the thin end red hot . On a sudden he turned round , and grasping applicant ' s son bj the hair , forced the pipe through the youth ' s eye right into the brain . He ran out before this brutal outrage was well discovered , and escaped . The poor lad was" conveyed to the hospital , where ; after surviving ten days in the most excruciating agony he died . The Coroner ' s Jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter against the personj but he could not befound . Applicant said hehad traced him from place to place , and had just seen him in a drunken stati t
aa beer-shop in Chelsea . He had spoken to the police-serjeant , but the latter was desirous ofhayiM the Magistrates' advice before he apprehended tie man . Mr . Gregorie inquired whether he could s ' n ' p . port this statement b y any evidence ? ComplainaS replied that he could . Of three witnesses there were two at present alive who saw it . His son haj not been guilty of any offence to the man , arid m evidently mistaken for some other person . Mr Gregorie ordered the serjeant to apprehend the peri son described , and convey him to the statiori-housei
A High Constable Hocussed and Ros bed . —Mr . Charles Batten , the high constable of South Morton , Berkshire , and also an extensive piper-maker , was in London on business on Fridaj and had booked his place to return hoine by the om o ' clock <; 6 ach ; but he unforturiately fell in vrith two . perstms , apparentiy gentlemen , in Thames . Street , who by gbme means had ascertained the fact of his ha-vlng booked his-pla . ee , and no doubt . tbat he had a round sumiabout him . They'Tpldihim thw were going to South Morton on the following day and succeeded in persuading him to go with them to the eoach-office to postpone his journey . M . Batten had paid his fare , and the strangers booked themselves to go by the same coach , but did not pay anything . After this little matter had bets
arranged , the magsmen proposed a tri p to Greenwich by water , which Mr . Batten acceded to previously to which , however , they called at seven pubhe-houses . He was induced to believe his rieir acquaintances were highly respectable , as the one appeared to have the other under his protection , lie having recently arrived from America , and had received a large sum of money , recovered through the Court of Chancery here , a portion of whieli they pretended to show him , in what he conceived were a roll of Bank of England notes . On arriviDg at Greenwich they proposed taking tea , and went to . the Ligonier ' s Head for that purpose . —Mr . Battea complained of pain in his legs and feet , and by way of lulling suspicion , one of the villains gave tie waiter half a sovereign to purchase an easvuair cf
slippers . It is supposed , during his absence on that errand that some drug was pat info the tea-pofc and that in all probability the robbery was committed when they assisted him off with his boots , for shortly afterwards the villains quitted the room under pretence of buying periwineles , and of course did not return . On the waiter again going in to Mr . Batten , he was in a state of complete stupor ^ he having drunk his tea , but the other had been emptiedinto the slop basin . It was then discovered that they had robbed him of 50 sovereigns and a £ 20 Bank of England note . Dili gent search ; wiw immediatelj made for the vagabonds , but at present without
effect . They are described as being about five feet four inches each in height ; one of themwasdressed in black , wearing a very deep hat bandj and cloth goloshed boots , and somewhat under forty years : d age . The other rather younger ^ pale faeed , and wearing a black coat , light-coloured trousers and waistcoat * Such was the confidence of Mr . Batten that the money had only been taken in joke or for security , that he could not be persuaded he had been robbed until he subsequently found a roll of halfpence in a pie . ee of brown paper in his fob pocket What could have induced him to join them in the first instance is inexplicable ; the subsequent part of the transaction can be easil y understoodi v
Effects op Prussic Acid Countebactei ) . —A numerous body of gentlemen of Sunderland , consisting of members of the , medical and legal jpr « - fessions , were last week invited to attend a series of experiments of a physiological and a chemical nature , illustrative of the important subject of forensic medicine , by John Robertson , M . D ., which afforded much instruction and the greatest satisfaction to the audience . The most important Teiture of these deimonstiations was the Doetor !
method of resuscitation from the effects © f hy dro-. cyanic acid , of which we will give a brief outline . Two strong rabbits being selected for experiineiiV four drops of powerful hydrocyanic acid were app liw to the tongue of each ; the effects were instan ^ J apparent—the animals were for some minutes motionless , and apparently dead , when Dr . Robinsco administered his restorative , namely , cold water poured from an eminence over the occiput and spin * ( the temperature of the water being previously lowered by : nitrate of potass and common salt . ) Tl 6 effect was magical ; for by this resuscitative process it was remarked that each animal in tors skipped along the floor , as if in the enjoyment ° f good health and spirits .
A Man Burned Alive . —A more shocking accident than we are about to relate , it has . seldom been our painful duty to record . The unibrtuBite subject of it was John Baird , aged sixty-two years ; who , on Saturday se ' nnight , was buried alive ' : * . ; BenstoH Lime Works , near Cuirimock , where h » bad been employed for Upwards of forty year * . About nine o ' clock in the morning mentioned , h » was breaking stones on : the kiln head , and incautiously stepped with one foot upon the kiln , to break a stone which had rolled upon itwhen , the
, kiln being run , and hollow below , the burning lime : gave way under his weight , and the unfortunate man instantaneousl y disappeared , the kiln being twenty feet deep , and the burning limestones on ^ surface closing over him . Part of the body was entire , which had been covered with the cold . lime "' stone that fell along with it from the surface of the kiln ; but the head was entirel y consumed , arid also several of the limbs . The remains were interred ¦ the same evening . The deceased was a iriarriea man , but without a family . ' " ^ " .. - '
