Just published , in Demy 8 vo ., BY MESSRS . PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BT EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , THE SILENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarmiug forms , shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonorrhoea , Gleets , and Strictures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all itsattendantsympathies and dangerous consequences considered , with tho most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions lor the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry's Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 * . 6 d ., and lls . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price lls . and 33 s . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . per Box , 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 Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary _ Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . . •¦ ' . ' » 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 mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature 60 impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished 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 affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of hia country and the darling of hi 9 parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of v Uterate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

MEDICAL ADTICE . MESSRS . WILKINSON AND CO . SURGEONS , No . 13 , Trafalgar-street ^ Letds .

Attendance every Thursday at No . 4 , Georgestreet , Bradford , ( from Ten till Five . ) In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed withia a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making only anfl personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medi * cines that" will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means have failed . . Theyhopethat the successful , easy , andexpeditioui modetheyhaveadoptedjOferadicatingevery symptom of a certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving the constitution in full vigour , and free from injury , will establish their 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 tke contrary , ont 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 remove the present attack , but topresem the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience cm ayail himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice , by being able to distinguish betweei 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 , i * order to discriminate their real nature , and whioh may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unl « sa managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill-Pat ients labouring under this disease , cannot be toe cautious into whose hands they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing th « ordeal of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distingoisfi this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on th « head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swellings in the ne ck , nodes on the soil bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatisBi &c . &c .

' . . ' FaiBJUW and Bbethrss , —A Conference of the ministers uf ail religioM denominations was called a short tiros « goin Mawkeater , for the purpose of taking into consideration the preeent state . of lie country , with a view to adopt aome . means whereby the fainting muses uf destitution , misery , and crime sught be removed ^ .
In obedience to this invitation , persons of T&rions denominations , eompwang the orthodox faith , by virtue of their office as ministers of religion , obeyed the call , and assembled in Miacherter , on the 17 th of August ; and before they was properly constituted , a few of their ora number acted as a Committee to grant passports of admission , and to prepare and arrange the business ¦ which should be brought bef ere the Conference , ms vellsa to appoint the speakers irhoirere subsequently to address them . A large portion of the industrious and intelligent of Che working classes , in diSerent parts of the United Kingdom , also took into consideration the importance of the business for whieh the Conference was convened ,
« na * appointed their Ministers to represent their wants snd wishes , and to express their opinions on all questions < ti »* should come before them . But when the ministers of the peoplB srriTed , snd attended *\ the place appointed , to take part in the said Conference , ' and to submit the interesting statistical information which they had collected relative to the deplorable gtaie of the people , the saM-elected Committee refused them admission without a hearing , or assigning any reason whaterei for their rejection ; thuB depriTing the country of the valuable information they were prepared fco give , and offering an insult to the labouring classes in the rejection of the repreBeni&tives to whom they had entrusted their affairs .
In consequence of th 6 se illiberal and uncharitable proceedings on the . part •! those calling themselves Tniwi » tPT « of religion , a public meeting was held in the Han of Science , on the 19 th of August , whieh was Tery numerously attended , and on which occasion eeTeral important resolutions were adopted , * but particularly the following , which we beg to call your attentoil tot" That , considering the extreme distress and suffering now ousting in Great Britain , and tfcat none of the wealthy and represented classes seem disposed to do Justice , or even listen to the complaints of the industr ious millions , there is no hope for them but in their own exertions . This meeting is , therefore , of opinion that tfee universal people should take into
consideration the propriety of immediately conTemng a Conference to which can be sent persons in whom the peoclefcave entire confidence—persons chosen without respect to class , creed , religion , or politics—persons who can come prepared to state fully tho feelings which the people entertain , and theii opinions as to the best methods of RbsUtuting order , peace , and safety . for the present confused , unsettled , and unnatural condition of ¦ odety . This meeting also determines to appoint a Committee of arrangement , to ascertain , in the first isstance , the degree of approbation which this suggestion meets ¦ with ; and if a large portion of the people be in faTonr of fnch a step , they be empowered to give notice of the same to the country at large , and make arrangements for ttie holding of the meeting . "
The purport of this address is to ascertain how far the people generally are favourable to the project ; and as the appeal is not made to any particular sect or party , bat to society at large , Associations of every description , Whether religious , political , or Trades' Societies , are requested to send their opinions to the Secretary immediately , so that , if the plan be approved , steps can ' be taken to carry the same into effect .

place , long befere he or his master came , and as for sidosures , I denied the right of any individual to appropriate that to themselves which in right belonged to the public . Having passed through that portion of the Jane where hares and pheasants are " supposed" to dwell , you may thiTilr that the armed : > keeper left me ; he did not do so ; he shouldered his gun , and with an sir important & 3 he deemed his calling , followed me full half a mile : down an adjoining Jane , until I had got fairly out of sight of the estate . I told him that RngHsh liberty had indeed come to something when a " free subject" was followed about with an armed keeper , and that I should let the public know of it through the medium of the papers .

Abeedeen . —On Monday the SOih , after the usnal business of the Union was o . ver , Duncan Nicholson delivered an essay , in which he exposed the fallacies of the various nostrums which have been proposed to ameliorate the condition of the suffering millions , and showed by the promptitude with which the people came forward and exposed them , that they had no confidence i » their bettering their condition ; that they would countenance no agitation which had not for its object the enfranchiseHient of themselves , that would restore to them their long-withholden rUhts ; and that
they would oppose and denounce all agitation , akort of a full meed of justice to the long-injured and oppressed many . After some discussion upon the French Revolution , three hearty cheers for the liberation of the " Lion , " and a vote of thanks to the Chairman , the meeting broke up , being highly pleased with tha night ' s proceedings . I may state that the entrance to the meet ing room was decorated with flags and banners ; during the day , a cap of liberty , and a large star , with O'Connor , and the motto " No surrender . "CorrespondmtL
Largo- —Monday being the d » y on which Mr . Feargus O'Connor was to be liberated from that to the Whigs disgraceful , but to him honourable imprisonment , a few of the Chartists here assembled in a conspicnous part of a farm road , above the town , and precisely at one o ' clock ( the hour at which O'Connor was to be liberated ) gave seven tremendous peals with a large cannon , being persuaded that the time is fast approaching when the disinterested leaden of the people , in this grand movement , shall no longer wear a felon's chain , but shall enjoy that along with the
oppressed and insulted producers , that liberty whieh is not only theirs by birthright , but also by the gift of beneficent Heaven . After three cheers was given for O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and th » s # glorious privileges for which the country is struggling , the meeting quietly broke uy . Truly this day is one worthy of being had in remembrance , by those staves of the British Isles for whom the good man has struggled , as an earnest that their own redemption draweth nigh , when the banner of liberty shall be unfurled , and the command given to the prisoners " show yourselves , and to the oppressed go free .

Richard ALarsdtn be written to inquiring whether he is at liberty , and would accept of the situation . Mr . Ellison and Mr . Benington were appointed to draw up an address , wkich Tras done , submitted , and carried ; after which , the meeting -was adjourned till that day month , and then to meet at Macclesfield .

Joseph Carter , Secretary , Water-street , Portwood , Stockport . The following is the address agreed to : —
Brothers , —We address you upon the importance of providing Cheshire -with a regular lecturer . It ia a subject which has engrossed much of our serious attention , and our opinion is , that the good cause would be much advanced by such a step being taken . Cheshire , it is well known , has not hitherto occupied the position which it might do , us regards the struggle now going forward in the causevof liberty ; we , therefore , deem it most essential that a lecturer be provided for the purpose of disseminating ChartiEm in the towns in Cheshire , We are also of opinion that such a course would tend materially to unite the energies of the petple of tkis important county , as wsll as add many te our
ranks who now withhold their support through ignorance of our principles ; and , as reason and argument are our great , our only weapons , we do earnestly recommend the different towns in Cheshire , where associat ions exist , to consider this important object It is with great pleasure , -we ean say , that Feargus O'Connor , Esq . is again amongst us , and will encourage us ¦ with his presence , and animate us with his eloquence . L « t us , by our exemplary conduct and perseverance in the cause , and by brotherly affectisn for each other , prove ourselves worthy of such a leader . Another important subject , which we wish to bring before yea , is the propriety of sending a representative to the forthcoming convention . We how and trust jou . will hold

yourselves in readiness to take such a step , considering , aMtedo , ( hat it is highly necessary that this important county should take its . part in the agitation which is to liberate the working classes from their present misery and destitution . We particularly request that our friends in New Mills , € Hoss # P , and Hayfleld , will send . delegates to our next meeting , in order to enUir into Rich arrangements as may appear best calculated to accomplish our object . In conclusion let us hope that every ' Chartist will treat bis fellow man as his brother , rendering good to all And evil to none . ; Signed on behalf ef the Delegate * , - - — John Ellison , Chairman .
CtTMNOCK . —O'Connor ' s liberation was celebrated here by a friendly meeting in the evening , John Millar in the ohaix , who , after reading O'Connor ' s letter to the fustian jackets , as well M the o © e to Nonnanby , observed that the time had now arrived for the solution of the great charm of the Wbjgs—that O'Oonnor was bribed by the Tories to do- their dirty work ; he was now at large , and it would soon be seen whether he would oppose their continuing in office , or not , with the same powet and magnanimity with which he hurled the Whigs from the sweets of a court , and the presence of a lovely Queen , —the poppet , as Lord John frankly admitted , of their will ; that he would do so he never had the slightest doubt , and his noble advocacy of its necessity would soon cover the Whigs with shame for the many calumnies which they have heaped on his head . It was only for the people to do their duty , and O'Connor was the maw to lead them on to victory , and
establish their rights on a sure foundation , not built with mortar , but cemented by the universal consent of the whole people . The speaker was listened to with profound attention , and received the hearty congratulations of all present , who were not a few , though the moral-fqrca Chartists-have turned out , what was always suspected , mere Whig Corn Law repealers , and consequently have withdrawn from the Chartist ranks , but their secession is more than compensated far by the unanimity which now prevails among the really sealous in the cause of Chartism . At the close of the Chairman ' s remarks , Alexander Kerr , proposed that a committee be chosen to draw up a congratulatory address to Mr . O ' Connor , which was seconded by Robert M ' Kervail , aud unanimously agreed to , after which the meeting broke up in the utmost good feeling , and high in hopes of soon seeing the movement revived in all its former glory .
CARLXSUS , —New Coukcil o » ihe Caelislh Association At a public meeting held in Caldewgate , on Wednesday , Sept . 1 st , Mi . John Armstrong in the chair . A balance-sheet of the accounts of the association , was laid before the meeting ; after which , the following brief but excellent report , was read to the meeting by the chairman and adopted by the meeting . My friends , in consequence of the late trials which you were called upon to make your own , and to which you responded with an energy , evincing a determination to prevent , if possible , the triumph of injustice . In consequence of this circumstance , your council were prevented from submitting their accounts and reporting their progress at the usual time . In despite of truth , Justice slumbers when we consider what was brought
to bear on the occasion—when we reflect that gross perjury in all its hideousness , that the instruments of those , who luxuriate on your labour in all the demoniac eomplacency , peculiar to insensate tyranny . When we consider these things , we marvel set that justice slumbers , and that you still complain . So elevated in their supposed greatness—io absent in all moral feeling , are your local oppressors , that , though they are aware we suffer indescribable privations , they in the baseness of their souls require and expect , that not one sigh should move our bosoms—tbxt no expression of indignation should escape oar lips . Ah ! such convictions may be held—such feelings cherished by those who were never schooled in adversity—who never experinced the vissisitudes peculiar to the working man . And who .
therefore , never obtained that knowledge of the primary cause of those evils which affict society , nor the extent of those pains which you feel ; yet these axe the men who make laws for yon , who hold your very existence on their lips . Your Council are aware that the poverty resulting from the oppression under which we all groan prevents you from assisting them in carrying out those measures so necessary for securing political and social emancipation . They are aware that were your power equal to your will , liberty would be effected by one energetic effort ; but though these circumstances present themselves as obstacles in your onward march to freedom , they hope you will not despair . In the present state of social and political affairs , wealth will have the preponderating power . Those who possess
that wealth , having interests in opposition to oars , necessarily oppose us in all our endeavours to wrest from them the possession obtained by force and chicanery . Yes , my friends , they will , until the moment of your liberation , continue to gorge on your already emaciated bodies . What do you learn from these facts ? You learn thai a continuance of that struggle whieh has characterised your movement is necessary for the consummation of your wishes . The farther you advance in the knowledge # f your wrongs , which is also the knowledge of your rights , you will necessarily be more vigorous in your opposition to those who wish to perpetuate those wrongs . Your tyrants , seeing your determination , will of course , in their dying agony become more desperate- The quarterly accounts of the
associat ion hare been regularly audited and settled , and are submitted to your consideration ; and by which you will perceive , that they exhibit a small sum in your favour . You will shortly have an opportunity of meeting your beloved patriot , who has just escaped from the dungeon of tyranny . Your council hope that you will give him such a reception as his great merits deserve and your limited means will allow , remembering , that it is not the mere combination of parties which we distinguish from other individuals , by name Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., but , that we appreciate him because the principles of truth are proclaimed and cherished by him , which principles have existed coequal with time , and would continue to exist if the material world were annihilated . The meeting then
proceeded to the election of the following persona , as members of the council for the ensuing quarter -. —John Armstrong , chairman ; Thomas Sinclair , treasurer ; Joseph . Richardson , secretary : Joseph Broome HanBon , James Arthur , John Routledge , William Farish , Wra . Atkinson , William Knutt , James Ferguson , Henry Cadell , Henry Bowman . Correspondencence was read from Brighton and Dundee , which at a latter meeting of the council was ordered to be answered by the secretary . Mr . J . B . Hanaen addressed the meeting at considerable length , on the liberation of Mr . O'Connor , for -which he said he did not thank the Whigs , for they were a set of base towardly wretches , who had proved themselves wholly incapable of ruling the destinies ef this great nation . The meeting then adjourned .
BRIGHTON . —At a meeting oi the Chartists of Brighton held at the Cap of Liberty , Portland-street , on Wednesday evening , September 1 st , Mr . Lanstlell in the chair . On the proposition of Mr .

" In answer to the above , the following has been received from the Gallant Captain : — " Castle G-oring , 3 d September , 1841 . " Sir , —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday ' s date , conveying si resolution unanimously passed at a meeting of the Chartists of Brighton on the 1 st ir . st .
In returning my thanks to those gentlemen for the flattering manner in which they have been pleased to record their opinion in my favour , I trust they -will be assured that in the discharge of my public duties it will always be my anxious desire to act upon those liberal principles which gained for me the support of so large a portion of the independent constituency of the Borough .

TON BRIDGE . —This is but a dark and unenlightened part of the country ; yet by the help of your bright Star of the North , and other talented , though cheap , publications , the cause of the People ' s Charter is making some little progress even here . A society was formed here a few years ago , by a few working men who felt the degraded situation in -which they were placed by being excluded from the representation , which , up to the present time , has been steadily progressing . We have adopted the People ' s Charter as our polar star , feeling satisSed that whatever nostrums may be put forth by either Whigs or Tories , tkat nothing but a Radical Reform sf the representative system will ever satisfy the wants of the people , or cure the evils under which the country labours . On
Monday , the 30 th August , the fourth anniversary was held at the Chequers Inn , the large room of which was crowded to excess , Mr . Payn in the chair , who stated the exertions the Society had made for the promotion freedom and good government They had got nearly 501 names to the National Petition , and likewise for the release of the Chartists , bad established a political library , and distributed some hundreds of political pamphlets and Chartist Circulars , and were still continuing to do so . He urged them to go forward till they had otJtained equal laws and equal rights for all , and , amid loud cheers , introduced Mr . Hetherington of Lond « n , who addressed toa meeting at great length on the principles and practice of the two great factions who bavo bo long misguided taia . country . —Correspondent . ^
