FN CASES of SECRECY consult the TREATISE X on every Stage and Symptom of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most alarming forms , just published , by Messrs . PERRY and CO ., Surgeons , No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , and given gratis with each Box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box , containing a full description of the above complaint , illustrated by Engravings , shewing the different stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practical directions for an effectual and speedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and safety , without the aid of Medical assistance . Perry ' s Purifying Specifio Pills , prioe 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry on the side of each wrapper ) which are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most , certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every Stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhsea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from businesB . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an eaily 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 days ; and in the more 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 which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scoibutio affections , Eruptionsonany part of the body , Ulceratioaa . Scrofulous or Venereal taint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore we « t and e * s ciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified useof Mercury , has been productive . of infiiute ^ . misjBMif ; under the notion of its being an antidotetor a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their syBtew with Mercury , and- the buaii ness is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized put of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions folly pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection 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 froa all the prospects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by adisease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proveB so if properly treated . - - . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulnesa of illiterate men , who , bythe use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration . blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and No . 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Only one personal visit is required from a country patient to enable Messrs . Perry and Co . to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , after all other means have proved ineffectual . Letters for advice must be post-paid , and contain the usual fee of one pound .

The following extraordinary case of cure has been communicated to the Wholesale Agent for Parr ' s Life Pills , at Nottingham : — Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Lenton , near Nottingham , has been severely afflicted for the last thirty years , with a violent cough , and difficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could hot fulfil her usual domestio obligations . She took oold when only fifteen years old , and the cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life Pills . She had tried almost every kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' s Pills about last Christmas , and as soon an she had taken about half a box , ehe found herself completely cured , and was never affected in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now better in health than she has ever been in her Iifo . This cure does indeed appear miraculous , but for the satisfaction of the most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answer any inquiries , either by personal application or b y letter , addressed " Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill ( lose , Old Leaton . "

Two remarkable cases ( selected from many others ) communicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer , 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull . Mr . Plaxton , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , had long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease . So dreadful were the paroxysms that ho frequontly expeoted death was at hand to release him from his sufierings . For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all , even being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s PiLs , " purchased a small box for him , and on his calling for a second box , he told me that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one box , he was able to sit down , and on taking two other boxes , his pains have left him ; his appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has ever been in his life .

They profess to be the friends of the working classes ; which professions we conceive mere humbug aad treachery to gain confidence , as fully demonstrated in their conduct in resorting to every means "within their power to lock the working men ' s jaws , and
cunningly evade pnblio discussion . That the question is purely one betwixt the cotton lord and" the Jandlord ; in the tray they advocate it , therefore , we believe their object is not to benefit the working classes , otherwise they - would assist them to obtain a power ever the law which would protect their labour , which is their only property , and the loaf -when they h 3 ye it " 2 nd . Moved by Thomas Davies , and seconded by Jonas Scho&eld , " That this meeting confirms the resolution passed by the Oldham peeple in reference to Mr .

' fey 1 £ * . Esrealy , " -laat w agree with the plan laid down by Feargus O'Connor , relative to exclusive dealing *; and we recommend it to be carried out ; generally , in order to bring the shopocraey to a sense > of their duty towards the producing millions of . this erafjj :. That the tills being exipty will be a Elap in i the face to the middle class , which will make them savage , aad probably be the means of opening their blind eyas , sad convince their stubborn undemandings ' that the working classes have lights as -well at them- i selves , and that the oppression and tyranny which has / Bo long been practised by every class of society upon t ile most essential , most useful , sad , consequently , most !

" 4 th . " That the delegates present view with feelings i of regret , the circumstances wnica have apparently caused a bad feeling to exist in the mind = of Mr . H . Hetherington towards our present organization , and | Feargus O'Connor , Esq . ; but , as both are in prison , j ire will leave those questions , which are not inunediately connected with as , to be settled betwixt themselves ; still we consider Mr . Hetkerington has made a ' Terr erroneous and unwarrantable comparison in ;
stating that Feargus U < as great a humbug' as JMniel O'Gonoeli , and relative to the Association being Mr . O'Connor ' s ; and that we , the members of it , his tail , take that assertion to be a direct insult upon every individual member , more especially when ire take into consideration the notorious fact , that O'Connor had nothing at all to do with the forming of the plan of organisation ; that he iras then is prison ; that the people ' s delegates met twice in Manchester , and- sat several days each time , and that Feargu * sever sa-w it till it was printed . Such being the case , we wish respectfully to convey to Mr . Hetaarington , and the country at large , that we are not the tools of Feargus O'Connor , or any other man ; that ire respect consistency in every man , and are prepared

to throw every man overboard who does not act up thereto . " Mr . Davies moved this , and Mr . Massey seconded it , and Mr . Julian H&rney was requested by the delegates to either speak for the motion or against it , which he felt prepared to . , upon -which he said he had no wish to mix himself- with party squabbles , though he bad too often been compelled , in selfdefence , to do so upon former occasions ; nevertheless , being called upon , he would offer a werd or two upon the conduct of certain parties woo figured at the bead of the " new move . " He had been a member of the London Working Men's Association , the leaders of which -were mostly the leaden of the " new move ;" he coold testify to the truth of William Rider ' s assertion , that the members of that body were really anything but working men . The occasion of his leaving
that body was as follows : —At the time the Glasgow Cotton Spinners lay in Edinburgh gaol , awaiting their trial , Daniel O'Connell thought proper , in a speech made in the House of Commons , to denounce these persecuted men , and with them the trades' unionists of England , Ireland , and Scotland , generally , asserting that they were banded together , for" the most atrocious purposes , not scrupling to resort even to assassination to effect their ends . He ( Mr . H . ) was not a trades unionist , but deemed it his duty to call the attention of the Working Men ' s Association to this matter ; he did so ; the answer was , " Write to O'Connell , and if be pleads guilty to the charge , no language will be too severe in -which to denounce his villany . " He ( Mr . H . ) did so ; he wrote to O'Connell : Dan replied in a saucy note , stating he bad sent bis answer to bis ( Mr . H . ' s )
questions to Mr . Cleave . He went to Mr . Cleave . Mr . Cleave read Dan ' s answer to him , in which he I O'Connell ) twice distinctly stated that , although not fully reported his speech so far as it appeared was correct—upon this he ( Mr . H . ) moved certain resolutions in the Working Men ' s Association denouncing O'Connell as the enemy of the working classes ; bis resolutions -were rejected , the only parties supporting him being Mr . Ireland , afterwards one of the leaders of the Democratic Association , and an excellent patriot , and Mr . Neesom , afterwards member for Bristol in the Convention ; Mr . Cleave had declined giving up the correspondence with Dan to him , ( Mr . H ., ) bnt had commitUd it to the Working Men's Association . He ( Mr . H . ) then demanded the correspondence , that he might publish it The Association by vote refused it . He next demanded
a copy ; the Association , by vote , again refused ; and lastly , the Association passed a resolution to lock up the correspondence i *> th <* sflf . retary ' S desk , that its publication might be prevented . He , however , published in the Northern Star , the Cltampion , and other papers , all that portion of the correspondence he retained in his own hands . For this he was hauled over the coals , and a vote of censure passed upon him , — 'cries of aear . i wkereupon he flung up his card , as did Messrs . Ireland and Neesom , and they three feunded the Democratic Association , -which , if it did no other good , did this—it crushed , it annihilated , the humbug Working Men ' s Association . ( Cheers . ) After some other remarks , Mr . Harney said , in reference to Mr . Levett , he considered it but right that he should speak to the conduct of Mr . Lovett , -when Secretary to
the Convention ; whatever had been his feelings toward that gentleman as Secretary to the Working Men ' s Association , when he saw that the courage of Mr . Lovett increased as the danger menacing the Convention augmented—that he rose equal to the crisis—he iMr . H . ) flung to the winds all remembrance of the past , and hailed and did honour to Mr . Lovett as a man worthy the most perfect confidence , esteem , and admiratien of the people . When he ( Mr . Harney ) remembered this , he deplored that Mr . Lovett was not ¦ with them ; hs lamented to see one bo talented in the company of , and associated with , parties whose sincerity he ( Mr . H . ) donbted—in whose patriotism he had no faith . Mr . Harney concluded by giving it as his opinion that had it been O'Connor himself who had proposed the " new move , " the people would at once
have flung him overboard . Thank God , the people cared now everything for principle , nothing for men . ( Cheers . ) But as regards Mr . O'Connor , though at times he had differed with that gentleman , particularly upon the question of the National Holiday , he ( Mr . Harney ) would say , that he ( O'Connor ) had -well earned , by his meritorious labours in the canse of democracy , the people ' s confidence and love . These he had , and so long as Mr . O'Connor continued to act the same straightforward part , the people would support him , and every effort of his enemies to ruin him would miserably fail . Mr . Harney resumed his seat amidst loud cheers . 5 th . " That every delegate be requested to instruct
the secretary of his district to send the time and place of meeting , to the county secretary , as early as possible , forthe benefit of the missionary in making ont his tonr . " 6 th . " That we perfectly agree that the Convention should sit another fortnight , and that one penny per head be levied upon the Association , and every other means tried , to support the representatives of the working men . " 7 th . " That Mr . Leech be re-elected as lecturer for the next month , he giving every satisfaction in the capacity in which he Js placed . " 8 th . " That this meeting stand adjourned till this day month . " —A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman for his valuable services . The business throughout was conducted orderly and with the best feeling .
Lecture by Mr . Dotle , an Irish Chartist . — On Sunday evening last , in the Cbartiii Room , Tibstreet , a lecture was delivered by this gentleman . He commenced by saying that he was xgry . happy to have the opportunity of expressing to them his opinion openly and above board , and without being afraid of being , as . had been done on a very recent occasion , pat down By the argument or clamour , physica l force , and violence . ( Hear , bear . ) Those who wish to advance their cause by persecuting the members of another , will never succeed . But , in many instances , the cause which had been most persecuted had prospered best ; just so it was -with Chartism . The pleasing prospects of the Chartists , and the success which they have of late met with , have been owing chiefly to the fair and upright manner in which they bad , on all occasions ,
conducted their proceedings . Projects had been put out by hypocrites of the deepest die ; men who called upon the people for support to obtain a certain end , and then they , in return , would never rest satisfied till they , the people , were in possession of their rights also , who , after making such promises , could turn round upon the very parties who put them in power . Have not the Whigs done this ? ( A voice—" Yes . ") They had ; and he was not sorry that these wretches ¦ were dying a political death—that an end would shortly be put to their life of mischief and misrule . They were now gasping for breath : away with them , he would say , and God speed their night ( Laughter and cheers , and a voice or two said , " Amen , amen . ") Ko man who possessed commo ^ n sense could look upon the present anomaly of things , if he laid claim , at the
same time , to honesty , sympathy , and truth . ( Hear . ) Here he fonnd the artizans of Great Britain sinking lower and lower in their condition—so much so that they were actually in thousands bordering upon starvation—that the one class who have to toil and fill the granaries with com , to build the mansions , fight the battles , man the ships , and fill the warehouses ¦ with cloth , are starving for food and clothing , whilst the other class , who prodnce nothing asefnl to society , are living in the greatest splendour , and luxuriating npon the fat of the land . That thia was the case , no one could deny ; and why was it so ? There must be a caase for all this . Why , the cause was , one class had the power to make the laws to keep the other in slavery , -want , and bondage . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , in order to see whether this class have properly
discharged their dnty , and to coma to an understanding upon the subject , it was necessary to look at their actions . He , therefore , would direct their attention to these classes separately . The first class , then , waa what is termed the RoyaL There are persons who contend that it is the -will of God there should be kings . Mr . Doyle then went to the origin of kings , as laid down in the first chapter of Samuel , and his declarations were that kings were not first established by God , but by men . Of course he allowed every man to enjoy his own opinion upon the point Mr . Djyle said that , according to history , wherever they had a king in any nation , poverty , misery , and wretchedness were the lot of the mass of the people . We have been told that we have had good kings . Now , how many good kings have we had in this country ? Ten ? Xo . Nine ? No . Here the lecturer came down
to two , and said that we have not even bad so many good kings . He would acknowledge only one , and that was Alfred . He was the only man who " < vas and acted like a father to bis people . He was the only one who appeared to wish to see his people in a state of happiness . He only has been the king who wished to giye true liberty to the people . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker continued in this strain for same time . Here the speaker commenced upon the wars , and gave an account of the money spent and the lives lost Then came to our beloved Qn .-ens salary , which was £ 470 , 000 a year . The same sura , if divided , -would give to 39 , 128 hand-loom weavers 6 a . per week . Then there was another royal beggar who received £ 3 O . uOO per year . Then there is the young Princess , who will require in a very t . > iort time six or eight thousand to educate . And it is
sa'd that the Qucea is " in a likely way again . " So tha t we seem likely enough to have young Royal paupers spri uging np like mushrooms . ( Laughter . ) The speaker then "went on to shew the amount of meney the King of Belgi im and the King of Hanover nave cost this-country , ai ¦ «! compared it with the wages of the agricultural laboort ts , and showed how many it would keep according to their rate of wages . On the 14 th of May , 183 « , Sir James G taham moved for an humble address to his Majesty 1 or an account of all salaries , pay , fees , and emolumsn ta , whether civil or military , from , the 5 th of January , 1 . 329 , to the 5 th of January , 1838 , held and Enjoyed by ^ ch ot his Majesty ' s Most Honourable Privy Council , spei ufying with each name the total amount received by each individual , and distinguishing the
uious sourc ^ s ' rom which the same was derived . The > fcal number o tPrirj Councillors was 169 , of which 313 ; ceived public money . The -whole sum distributed lnoally among » t tb * se 113 was £ 650 , 164 , and the rerage proporti- ') n ° f tual sum P lto eaca J& ^ Y 5 , 752 . Of this tutai of £ 650 , 164 , £ 86 , 103 was for necures , £ 442 , 41 1 fQI ""bat was called active services , id £ 12 , ' for p ensions . Now , friends ( said Doyle ) , it of the 113 Pri vy Councillors -who -were receivers ' the public money , thirty wempluralists , or persons Dlding more oflicea than one , flther as slnecurists , or vil and military omc w 8- The amount received by the [ nralists was £ 224 , 11 ^ annually amongst them all , : £ 7 , 321 , upon an a ^ « a « 8 , to each annually . The imber of Privy ConncL 'lors -who enjoyed full or half-

pay , or -were pensioned as diplomatists , was twenty-nine , and the gross amount of their income frcm the pnbl fc purse was £ 126 , 175 , or , upon an average , a yearly income to each individual of £ 4 , 347 . Toe whole number of Privy Councillor * who were members of both B . onMeB of Parliament was sixty-nine , and of those seventeen wen Peers , whose gross income from the pnblic purse was £ 378 , 840 , or , npon an average to each , £ 8 , 065 a-year . These robbers took an ' eightyeighth part of the National Debt The whole expenditure of the civil and military list of the Government of America was—President , 25 , 00 * dollars ; Vice-President , 5 , 000 ; Secretary of State , 6 , 000 ; Secretary to the Treasury , 6 , 000 ; Secretary of War , 6 , 090 ; Secretary to the Navy , 6 , 000 ; Postmaster , 3 , 500 ; the Chief Justice 6 , 000 ; six Judges , 5 , 000 each ; three
Commissioners of the Navy , 3 , 000 each ; making a total of £ 24 , 299 of English money . The late Marquis of Buckingham received from bis sinecure £ 700 , 000 ; the Marquis of Camden , £ 700 , 000 ; L » rd Arden , £ 500 , 000 ; the family of the Seymours , £ 400 , 000 ; the Dukes of Richmond , Graf ton , Marquia of Bate , Lord Melville , and others , nearly half a million each . ( Hear , and loud cries of *• Shame , shame . Now let us see the increase of taxes .., When Queen Anne came to the throne in 1701 , the yearly amount of the taxes was £ 4 , 212 , 858 . When George the first came to the throne ia 1714 , it was £ 6 , 762 , 643 . When George the second came to the throne In 1727 , it was £ 16 . , 540 . When George tho third came to the throne in 1760 , it was £ 8 , 744 , 682 . After tne American War , in 1784 , it was £ 13 , 300 , 921 . At the
close of the Anti-Jacobin-war , In 1801 , it was £ 36 , 728 , 971 . For the year 1809 , it was £ 70 , 2 * 0 , 226 . The English in Germany . It is estimated that there are in Germany 150 , 009 English families who spend each upon an average £ 200 , or in the aggregate , £ 30 , 000 , 900 sterling . This is unquestionably a larger Bum than the profits of our trade with all Europe amounts to , in the twenty-two years of peace . It would amount to £ 669 , 000 , 000 ' , or nearly as much as three-fourths of the miscalled National Debt The Duke of Bucclengh is in the receipt of £ 250 , 000 . The Marquis of Salisbury , £ 330 , 000 . The Duke of Northumberland , £ 280 , 000 . The above sums make a total
of £ 880 , 000 , which would give 17 , 600 persons £ 50 each , for one year . In 1688 there were 160 temporal peers in England , whose average incomes amounted to £ 3 , 200 each per annum . Now 3 , 200 multiplied by 160 , makes an aggregate of 512 , 009 , so that three peers of the present day receive £ 268 , 009 more than the whole of the peers of England did at that time ; of course money was more valuable . The lecturer continued enumerating facts and figures , for about an hour and a half , and made some very appropritta remarks on the various classes of society , and concluded smid the cheers of bis audience , an argumentative , eloquent , and convincing speech , by very forcibly recommending perseverance for the attainment of the Charter .
