At that time I was afflicted with
ulceratei gores in my mouth , horrible taste and bad smell , blotches on different part" of my body , aritb great pain and swellings in the bones , particularly my leg * , with hard lumps on my asias , which I am -now sansfiei would soon have proved fatal . After taking your medicine for a fe w weeks , my sores assumed a healing disposition , my taste and ? meH got gradually better , my pains entirely left me , and I have increased in both strength , healtk , and spirits , and am n « w without fear of any return of tbe complaint .

To those afflicted with SCURVY , VENEREAL , or SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEUMATISM , and NERVOUS or SEXUAL DEBILITY . ME . LA MERT , Surobon , Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Hall , London , and Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , &c ., having deToted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the Generative Organs , to the successful Treatment of the Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , acd to the removal of those distressing nervous sen-> atioiig , arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , continues to be consulted : rom Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night , and on Sundays from Nine till Two , at his residence , at
No . 27 } , ALBION-STREET , LEEDS , and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only cue personal vUit , will receive t-ui / h ddviceand mediiices that will enable them to obtain a permanent uud effectual Cure , when all other means have failed . A complete knowledge of the symptoms' and treatment ef these insidious and dangerous diseases , cau only be required by those who , in addition \ o experiei . ee , have pone through a regular course of Medical Instruction , independent of th * benefit of practical experience ; for unfortunately there aie huurlreus who annually fall victims to tke immoderate usr of mercury , aud other dangeruns rti / ttt / ics , administered by illiterate men , who , owing to a
total ignorance of tbe general principles ot medicine , ruiB the constitution , by suffering the disease ro £ et into the eystem , where being carried by the ¦ irciilution of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame become * tainted with venereal poison , and the most unhappy consequtnets eusue ; for it then assumts so many appearances , that the greatest discrimination is often necessary to detect its presence , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resemhling and oft « -n treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limts and bones , which is frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus tbe whole frame becomes debilitated 2 nd decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to ibtir drt-jdlul * u £ erings .
LA MERT'S RESTORATIVE PILLS , price 2 s . 9 ci . and 11 « . per box , are well known as a certain and effectual remedy for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , without confinement , loss o 5 ' time , or hindrance from business ; thty have effected many surprising cures , not only in rrcvot gonwrriioea , aud simple cases , but wheij < alivati > -a and all ctijer means have failed . There i ? no situation in life so wretched , as when ¦ we are obliged to reveal our moral indiscretions to others , aud the timidity and anxiety which ho frequently haunt the tr . inds of those who are suffering from Nerrous and Constitutional Debility , arising from early and indiscriminate excesses , cannot be too earnestly deplored . For in these unhappy cases where melancholy distaste and incapacity for all
pleasure- * , intense debility , both mental and physical , aud All ' tie enervating imbecilities of old age , are it * general attendants , tbe utmost endeavour * should be resortea to on tbe part of the sufferer to overcome this baneful destroyer of his health ana happiiios , in order to avoid the blank despair , and certain misery , which invariably accompany these dreadful debilities , when left to th « powers or nature alone to restore , and which frequently hurries its victim to the grave , in tbe very ilower of his youth . To all who arc thus afflicted , Mr . La Mert , as a regularly educated member of the medical protession , can , with the utmost confidence , offer hope , energy , vigour , and perfect health ; and from the peculiar nature of bis practice , the mo « t timid may feel encouragement in the opportunity thus afforded them .
Mr . LA MERT may be personally consulted from Nine in the morning till Ten at night , and will give advice to perxoos taking the above , or any other of his preparations , without a fee . Attendance on Sundays from ! Nine till Two , where his Medicines can only be obtained , as no bookseller , druirtjist , or auy ether Medicine Vwader is supplied with " them . Country letter ' , post-paid , containing a remittance for Medicine , will be immediately answered .
Tbe following letter has just been received , and by request of the writer is now published , but it must be observed that no case is published unless by the txpre » s consent of the party : — " Xewcastle-on-Tyne , Jan . 20 , 1839 . " Sir , —It has been my intention , for a length of time , address you on a gubjtet closely connected with your celebrity : but I must confess that a feeling of delicacy ban hitherto withheld me , for we are unwilling to expose our owa errors . My cure , however , has been w > singularly complete , that I felt it would be an act of gross injustice to your character and skill were I longer to withhold a case as
remarkable perhaps as any on record . Born in a polished circle of society , I waa early sent to a most respectable public seminary , where , for some years , all went oh with prosperity and happiness . Unfortunately , however , a habit was nent abroad among ux , the pleasing allurement of which I was , with many others , unable to resist . Years relied away , and left me an altered man ! Infirmities gathered around me , and at the age of twenty years I was actually dying of decay—a gradual but certain decay . I wondered at the cause of this premature debility , nor did the truth ever flatb across iny mind , nntil an accidental perugal of a Leeds newspaper , where I saw an address of yours , whieh made me fully sensible nf my miserable situation . The horror of my
situation increased every renewed day with the cause of misery , * elf-entailed , gnawing at " my heart in my waking moment * \ in seeking rest , I only sought lor a change of torment *—tbe many hours of darkness seemed awful ; those of sleep filled me with racking horrors indescribable . I longed far day—with day I wa « wearied , and I beheld the approach of night with abhorrence . Under these circumstances of unqualified affliction , I journeyed upwards of niaetj milei to have a confultatien with you . I Heed not say how soon you were aware of my appalling situation , or the anxiety yon manifested in . accomplishing my r « lief ( a circumstance which will ever have a grateful claim on my memory ) , or of the confidence with winch you gpoke of my recovery .
" You directed me a packet of your invaluable M « dicine , and by persevering in following your direction * , and with the blessing of Providence , a wonderful eure has been completely effected , and I am now in every seiwe of the word become a new man ! I transmit this account for yoar honour , and for the benefit « f otkers wbomay , unfortunately , be placed in a situation of similar wretchedness . You may omit my residence ; but if asked for , you are at liberty to give it . Remaining , Sir , w'th every sentiment of regard , yours truly , " CHARLES NEWTON »

William Parkinson , No . 44 , Vienna-street , York-street , Leeds , who had been nearly blind for twenty-five years , after having been under Mr . B . 's treatment only a fortnight , was able to read . Ibis was not external complaint , but proceeded from a compression of the nerves by redundant humours , which , had they not been drained off , would have ended in total darkness , that is , Gutta Serena . ¦
Mr . B . is successor to his Father , who stood unrivalled for forty years . The caae last mentioned was the first placed under the present Mr . B . ' s care . A soldier in Hull , who was blind in the' year 1813 , was restored to Sight , and made perfect in two months , after having been discharged Blind from the Hospitals « f London , York , Leeds , and Hull .

GOOD NEWS FOR THE MILLION . " Opi / er per orbem dicor . " PALEY , the greatest of moral philosophers , truly enumerates children as among the principal xourres * of human happiness . —At no period is human life so precarious as in the early stages of infancy ; for it is a fact no less lamentable than true , that a the least one half the childrei born in Great Britain perish in a state of infancy . Of these , some die for want of medicine , but by far the greater portion from the abuse of it . PernicioHs stupefactives , whorfe basi * is laudanum or other opiates , are eonstantly administered to tender infants , especially among the poorer classes . These daBgerous compounds allay pain for a time by stupefying the senses , but ultimately leave the agonised little sufferer in a
worse state than before . The ignorant and deluded , though anxious , well-meaning , and affectionate mother , thus procures herself a little more ease from nursing , but her darling child either shortl y perishes , or , if it survive , it is only to pass its mortal pilgrimage ( from it » constitution having been thus enervated and undermined ) in a state of lethargic insensibility . Deeply impressed with the magnitude of these serieus evils , and animated with a truly philanthropic zeal to arrest their progrew , it was that the late Mr . Atkinson ( a man of ori ginal talent , and of superior intellectual attainments generally , as well as a skilful chemist and apothecary ) directed bis best energies to the formation of a compound suited to the various complaints of infants . His laudable efforts were at length crownedwith the success they so well merited , in the production of that most invaluable preparation , ATKINSON'S INFANTS' PRESERVATIVE which has now stood the test of analyzation , the test of trial , and above all , the fiery ordeal of public opinion for nearly half a ceBtury , and of which fifty thousand bottles are annually sold in Great Britain ! In short , whether this medicine be destined to enter the palace or the humblest cottage , the proprietor alike feels an honest conviction of its power to assuage maternal pain for infant suffering ; to convert that pain into gladness that suffering into balmy repose .

IRE-LAND . Dublin , April 4 . PUBLIC ENTRY OF . LORD EBRINGTON . I was not enabled yesterday , owing to want of time , to give you more than a very brief account of the arrival of Lord Ebrington here . I do not misrepresent the occurrence when 1 say a more shabby stupid , beggarly exhibition never before was made than the entree of this Lord Lieutenant : even popular enthusiasm was wanting to give effect to the scene . As many curioue spectators were assembled day after day round the imperial Hotelto catch a
, ghmpse of the King of Qude while he was in this city as were collected in the yard of Dublin Castle yesterday to hail and welcome Lord Ebrington as the first Magistrate of Ireland . The number of persons in the prexence and council chamber ? wa * equally small . The chief persons who encircled his Excellency were the place" expectants of the Corn Exchange , the precursors and publicans . I savr on horseback several publicans and " gentlemen learned in the law , " and also five noblemeu ' s carrisimU
Lord UoneurTy ' s , Lord Charlemont ' s , the Duke of Leinster ' n , Baron de Robech'a , and Lord Tslbotde ' MaiahioVs . There was a small number of prmt * carriages and numerous Jarvies ; but by far the most national and interesting picture of the dav was an open chaise , with a Wind harper seated in ic , who » e melodies make tipplers dry in our shebeen bouse * , plnying upon the instrumeut to tWsatis * faction of two demure-looting females who sat opposite to him .

STRANGULATION OF AN INFANT . On Saturday evening an inquest was held at M Urwin ' s public house , Head of the Side , on tl body of' a female child , which came by its dea under the circumstances detailed in the followii evidence : — Mr . C . Preston , surgeon , examined : On Mondi ni ght , at the requeue of Mary Brown , I went Victoria Place , Hanover Square , to attend beT si ter ; went a second time at half-past one , and foui che child horn ; it had attained the full period gestation ; I advised them to call in a neighbon her sister declined to * io so , saying , she kept a scho < and a knowledge of the circumstance might isju
her . I tied the naval cord in the usual way , a ; the child was dressed in my presence . I asked the mother was going to nurse it herself ? The s . ter said no , it would be removed to a nnrse th they had spoken to ; a pvrsen for that purpose call next evening at eight o ' clock ; both the women we present , aod also a young man . In answer to inquiry , the sister said the child was taken awa I said I would call next or second day , but she sr I need not call again ; if her sister was worse , s would let me know . I did not call again until was called in-to-day , to examine the child , wbict found dead . I cannot say positively what cang its death , butl have doubts that it was caused ' strangulat ion *
Mary Brown examined : No ane was present b myself at the delivery of the child . Mr . Prestcame in afterwards , and 1 put a cap and shirt up it , and wrapped it in a piece of flannel . " WV . coo not afford to-get any thing for it , the father wou not do anything for it , he is a glass-cutter , nam John Armstrong . After I dressed it I put it bed , the motfeer did not give it the breast , but I ga it some gruel which it vomited directly . I went bed about three o ' clock , the child was between t and I took . it on my arm ; and having been up t tbe previous night I fell fast asleep *; I woke abo seven o'clock and found the child dead , lying < my arm as when I lay downthe mother was the
, asleep ; I put it away in an empty closet on t shelf , till I could and means . of burying it j I ke it there all Tuesday , meaniug to bury it that nig at the Ballast Hills . Since then it has been in large wooden box , rolled in a towel , with some h ; about it , I stitched it up , I meant to bury it som time . This . day a policeman came to our how and said he had been informed that there was eoi person brought to bed in the house , I asked him w ) told him so , and he said he was told so by goi authority ; I told him the child was dead . He we away and . returned with another policeman with
an hour . I then took the child , which w ; sewed np in the towel , put it under my gown a 1 took it away to bury it ; 1 got as far as Westgat street , when the polieeman overtook me , and to me I was to come back again . I went back , ai before I got to the house he asked me for the-chil and I . gave it to him . When I went out of the hous I was so agitated that I did not know where I w ; RoiDg to , but I meant to bury it in some place . M Preston had called on the Wednesday , evening , ai I then told him the child was gone , 1 meant it w ; dead . I had told him that we were going to ser it to nurse .
Mr . Baird , surgeon , sworn : I examined the bod ef tbe child , and found the integuments of the hea much discoloured , as if the circulation ef the bloc had been suddenly stopped . I opened the head ac was confirmed in my suspicion that a stoppage ha been suddenly put to the circulation of the blood -i the head . 1 believed it died by strangulation ; su focation , by pressure jon the mouth , weuld hardl produce the symptoms found . Mr . Preston re-examined : I am of opinion thl the injury of the brain—correctly described by M Baird—may have been produced by the child beis overlaid or by strangulation . It appeared as if tl child had lain on its face , on the arm , but it eou ! not have received its death by that circnmstan ( except pressed by other weight ; a discol « uratio would have appeared on its face after death .
Mary Brown re-examined : When I found tl child dead I observed no discolouration ; I intend * to bury it in-the earth ; I did not bury it on Tuei day Bight ; I was poorly , and could not go out ti three following days : I was working at the hou * of Mrs . Little , from eight in the morning till eigl at night ; I was once each day to see my sitter . After the witness . had . removed , the . Coroner « ai to the Jury , that he had little doubt as to the mar nerin which the child came by its death ; butt doubted there would be a deficiency of evidence . Adjourned till Monday .
INQUEST RESUMED . John Armstrong , father of the child , examined About six weeks ago the mother of the child aske me what was to be dane with it , and I said I woul do what the law allowed me , but even if the law di not compel ae I would have given her some help when I last saw her , three weeks ago , I gave he seven or eight . shillings ; she said she would requir baby clothes ; sheakosiud she would send the chit b t ome * P mf » and I said there were enongh ther already ..

COLONEL PRINCE AND . HIS VICTIMS . ( From the Dublin Monitor . ) We learn , from our exchange paper ? , that a serious misunderstanding has arisen between Col . Prince and several highly respectable individuals of the Western District . The latter , it would appear , by the government organ . The Patriot , presented an address to Sir George Arthur , duriDg his recent visit to Sandwich , which was returned unread , by his Excellency , to the great indignation of the people thus gratuitously insulted . This , however , is not all . A committee has been
appointed to < iraw up a narrative of the Windsor affair , which has been published in The Detroit Journal , a strong anti-patriot paper . Tbe members of this committee belong , we understand , to the Conservative party , and were some of them present at tbe action . The account given in the " narrative , " of the shooting of the prisoners , corresponds almost entirely with pur private information . These persons were not ail shot at the same time or immediately after tbe action , as is generally supposed . The 4 ' narrative" states
that" Before leaving the field , Adjutant Chessman , of the 2 d Essex , brought up a prisoner whom he had taken . He surrendered him to Col . Prince , who ordered him to be immediately shot on the spot , and it was done accordingly . " Our account is , that the man was first shot in the shoulder , aud severely , though not mortally wounded ; a second shot carried away part of his cheek—a third wounded him in the neck—after which he was bayoneted to death ! The second prisoner ( vtrhowas
wounded ) was brought into the town of Sandwich , at least two hours after the engagement , was ordered to be shot on the spot . It was proposed to give him "« run for his fife , " a precedent for which will hf . found in the Duke of Burgundy ' s conduct to the Bohemian outlaw , in Sir Walter Scott ' s novel of " Queetin Durward ; " and also , in the interesting account of the escape of Colter , the hunter , from the Blackfoot Indians . Thi * barbarous proposition was acceded to ; and says the " narrative , "—
" In an instant , a dozen muskets were levelled for his execution . At this moment , Colonel Win . Elliott , of the 2 d Essex , exclaimed , ' D—nt / ou , you cowardly rascals , arc you going to murder your prisoner ? ' This exclamation for one instant retarded the fire of the party ; but in the . next , the prisoner was brought to the ground ; he sprang again to his feet , and ran round the corner of a fence , where he was met , and shot through the head . " This man ' s name was " Bennett . " Wennderstand be wa * a British subject , late a resident of the London di-trict . " It is to be regretted ( says tbe narrative ) , that this painful affair took pluce in our most public street , and in the presence of several ladies and children . '
Another prisoner , named Deanison , alBO wounded and unarmed , taken afctr the action , was brought in , durinjr the morning . " Charles Elliot , Esq ., who was present when Colonel Prince ordered this man to be shot , entreated that he might be reserved to be dealt with according to the laws of his country ; but Colonel Prince ' ply was , ' JJ—n the rascal , shoot him /' aud it , was done . " When Colonel Prince reached Windsor , he was informed that one of the " brigands" was lying wounded at the house of Mr . Whj . Johnson .
The man , wkose leg had been shattered by a musket bull , had been found by Frangois Baby , Esq ., ( the former worthy representative of Essex ) , and , by his order , was removed to Mr . 'William Johnson's , with a promise of surgical assistance . Colonel Prince gave the order fer his execution , and he was drugged out of the house , and shot , accordingly . " At this time , the regulars and Indians were two or three miles in advance of Colonel Prince , the enemy had escaped from . Windsor ., and only one man wan made prisoner , who , presuming that he hnd fallen into trie hands of Prince , or his myrm idons , made an earne » t appeal for mercy , to-which
Captain Broderick , an officer of the regulars , nobly replied , " You have fallen into the hands of a British Officer I" Prince is only a militia colonel , and we presume , learned his military tactics under Don Carlos , in Spain . Captain Broderick , with his regulars , finding that nothing more was to be done , commenced his return to Sandwich , leaving bis prisoner in the charge of a dragoon . " Prince afterwards fell in with his prisoner , ordtred him to be taken from his guard and shot , which was done !" We k ' iiiu , also , from the u narrative , " that the party of Indians who were sent into the wuods , succeeded in making seven prisoners . When chey brought them out , a cry was raised : —
"Bayonet them ! but Martin , one of the Indian brave * , replied , 'No ; us are Christians—we will not murder them !'" When the .- « men were delivered to Colonel Prince , he had tbem placed in a waggon , and when it reached an open spot , opposite the barracks , he commanded ths prisoners to be taken out of the wag gon , and slwt . ' " At this critical moment , Charles Elliot and Robert Mercer , Esqrs ., the Rev . Mr . Johnston , aud Mr . Samuel James " , rushed forward , and entreated Colonel Prince not to commit murder , by shooting the prisoners , but begged him to leave thun to the laws of their country . In making this appeal , Mr . James made use of this emphatic language , for God ' s sake , do not let s white man murder what an
Indian has spared ' . ' " Colonel Prmw ; yielded , remarking , that he would hold Mr . Elliot recpousible for his interference , as his ( Colonel Prince ' s ) orders were , to destroy them all ! It cannot be doubted , that the shooting of the prisoners at Windsor , without trial , will be trou ght befnre the imperial Parliament , and , as the hackneyed answer will probably be given by the colonial minister , that "he ha * no official knowled ge of the matter , but will write to Sir George Arthur , " &c . &c , we think it proper , lest any of the statements in the " narrative" should be exaggerated ( and for the honour of the nation , we trust they are ) to give an extract from Colonel Prince ' s own despatch giving an account of the action , and published in The Official Gazette , which establishes the onlv important fact .
( Extract from Colonel Prince ' s Despatch , dated Sandwich , December 5 , 1838 . ) wn ? v thtt b "S and 8 a « d pirates , twenty-one were killed , besides four , who were brought in just at the close , and immediately after the engagement , all of nliom I ordered to be shot on the spot , and which was done accordingly .
