SECREOY .-SUCOESFUL TREATMENT . MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT , 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . IT may be stated as a fact , that there is no disease which has demanded more , or received less , attention from the Medical Profession generally , than Lues Venera . From this cause alone , it ia allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By the application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of eTery hundred of these might be saved . But to attain this , it is nects ary that a Medical Practitioner should devote hiB time almost exclusively to the consideration ^ of this most insidious and dangerous disease . 11 appears under so many varied forms , and assumes eo many different aspects , that nothing but constant experience can enable even the moat devoted student to detect aud eradicate it . When a Medical Man abandons the general practice of the Profession , and devotes his studies entirely to this particular branch , theu he at once looses caste , and is branded bv his colleagues as a Quack . In defiance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ., Beg to state that they continue to apply all their knowledge and experience to tho eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happiness which they have been the means of restoring to thousands who would , in ail probability , have otherwise sunk prematurely into the grave . This Establishment has now been open upwards of seven years , during which period , thousands of cases have been treated , and in no one instance has the patient been disappointed of an effectual cure . In most instances , a few days have sufficed to eradicate the Disease ; but where the disorder has been allowed to make serious inroada by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily been required to comnlete the cure . W and Co ., know of no instance where any establishment devoted to the care of the same class : of disease , has maintained so long a standing , which must be regarded as a conclusive proof of their integrity and ability . Long experience has enabled them to produce a remedy which is applicable to almost every stage of the disease . Their PURIFYING DROPS Have been used in thousands of cases , and with tbe most signal success . Perhaps no Medioine was ever offered 10 the Public , which has been so efficacious in restoring the diseased to health and vigour They are powerful and speedily efficacious , in the most obstinate as well as recent oases . A Treatise of twelve pages iB given with them , explaining tbe various aspects of the Dieease ; and the directions are so full and explicit , that persona of either sex may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bedfellow . In compliance with the wishes of many of their Patients , Wilkinson and Co .. a short time ago , published a Work , entitled THE SECRET MEDICAL ADVISER ; Price Two Shillings and Sixpence , or sent free to the most remote parts of the kingdom ( in a sealed envelope ) on the receipt of a Po 3 t-office Order , for Three Shillings and Sixpence . Within the space of six montb . 8 a very large edition of this valuable Work has been disposed of , which will be a sufficient teBt of its importance . It is a Practical Treatise on the Prevention and Care of the Venereal Disease , and otber affections of the urinary and sexual organs , in both sexes , with a mild aud successful mode of treatment , in all their

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misundorstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the : present raoe of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which tho book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads qfFamilies , and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they reouire for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare oi mankind seriously involved . The effects of lioentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . " The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he bo conauked with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on MxsiJy , Vigouh . " The initiation into vicious indulgence—¦ its progress-r-its results in both sexe 9 , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , caa be restored ; hew the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow mun , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; howtheattenuationofthe frame , palpitationofthe heart , derangement ofthe nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channetfor the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a welltold ; appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . It is written in a cloar intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with tbe diseases of the most delicate division'of the human organization . "— The Magnet . "The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many drtad entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency ofthe character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health .

BBOTHEB . OPERATIVES XXV MXS OF ESGLJL > D , — ( The prospect of the annihilation of cne cf the most ancient , usefnl , and XEcocnisfed trades of Eaglaad , and the determination manifested by men in power te sacrifice manual labonr to a mania for machinery , and to advance the interests of the colonies at the eipence of the parent coast ; y , justify us in endeavonring to Eicita pnblic attention xo onr own case ,-a ud thereby ylacs others on their gnard against a system which has already proved nearly fatal to onr own trade . "We feel—we hare reason to feel—that a craxada baa commenced against workic ? men ; and that Xhe heartless experiment of dispensing with » m » i labonr in any department of trade , for the sJte of transient sad imaginary Jbenefits in the "way of cheapness , is but ihe " beginning of tha end , "—tbe practical m&nifestfi-Coa of a disposition to sacrifice all trades at the unhallowed shrine of an avaricious monopoly .
Men invested with legislative authority are nnforinnately more attentive to class and peculiar interests than to society at large . They seem to forget that -working people constitute the base of society ; aad that jf that Vase ba weakened by the crude experiments of croebsttsra and shallow political econoniist 3 , the superstructure of nobles an » squirearchy—of laxduwners , merchants , manufacturers , and capitalists , must be in-Tolved in cne common ruin . Iht Sairpers are tvHths already ; and it is right that they should be among the first to s&ncd the toesin of alarm .
Two csnses are already In active operation to annihilate their trade , The first is the adoption or saw-mills , which afford no countervailing benefit to , the manifold disadvantages resulting frem the supcrcession of handlabour . In qaility of work , and in economical use of timber , the aoTsniages are all on the side of Tnanp ^] labour . Moreover , as the work of Wood-sawyera is almost exclusive ! / for home-conKnniprion , a tax on wood s&w ^ d by steam could in no tray affrsi existing tariffs , or interfere with International regulations of ComBKrce . The monopoly of Etcam-sa ^ ing , in the
opinion of ail impartial men , confers no * a . Hvantages whatever on society in geserd ; but on the contrary , ad 3 s grievously to the Impoverishment of wcrkisg men , and occasions a consequent Increase of poor-rates . Twcthirds , at least , of the Sawyers formerly employed , are now out of work ; and noi only thty , b » l the numerous members of their families , wholly dependant on them for support , are , at present , doomed to endure a ll the accumulated horrors of indigence and despair , through ths legislative toleration of a monopoly , " not recommended by any trait of usefulness to society , or any other Tedeemini advantage whatever .
Bat this is not alL In the fell spirit of that legislaticn "Which regards the interests of remote colonial dependencies as paiamont , and robs Soglsnd—the centre of the British dominions , arvd the hsort of commercial vitality , of that protection which should be given to native industry—in exemplification ot thit fell spirit which forgets nome and goes abroad to act munificence .

invasion of not only the nzhts of rn- ; wn <; i labour at home , inat of the interesta of the timber merchants , and even the saw-mill monopolists of England . Hera is proof that Colonial industry will be fostered at the expense of native—of heme industry . What woa . d tee millowners of Manchester say—bow leng would they sustain the Anti-Corn Lvw League with funds , if manufactured cottons were to be imported into this country , and bought np by men who speculate on public credu-Bty , and prefer Ike imaginary cheapness of an article , to that article durable as a material , and also recommended by superior workmanfbip ? Won ; d not the avocation of Cobden and suck men be soon gone ?
Tfee trnth is , an active crnsade is row carried on to reduce the wages of maxm&i labour , not only below the standard of wages on the Continent , tut to a Starvation point . An effort is made to get a reruunersiive foreign market , by convertinj Sogluhmea into serfs , and making their wages depend on the caprice of avaricious monopolists . Undersell foreigners at any sacrijice ¦ of Ijigls& &s industry , It the motio ol English monopolists . Mark one important troth , namely , ihat monopoly or machinery , though not immediately aS ^ eting trade * , to which i % does not immediately apply , nldmitely reaches alL How is it that now when trade in the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire is " brisk , " wool-combers , men at
¦ who toil from five o'dockin tie taornin ^ till ten night —cannot average fls . eacbvreekly 1 The answer is , ' the general poverty occ&Bioned among those kindred classes < & operatives , -whom machinery and monopoly have assailed . '' It would not do for the wbol-combers to stand out among the cotton , doth , or worsted operatives , in isolated prominence , as a body prospering by their manual industry . The consequence of allowing manual labonr in any departments of work , to be superseded by machinery , is that the hands superseded will endeavour to obtain employment in other departments where manual labour is recognised , and' tbus lessen ¦ wages , by the vast competition for profitable employment . Hence the cradusl decline in wages generally .
Working men 1 rally now or never for the trades—the native industry of old England . Masters , merchants , sad capitalists , rally for native industry . -Strengthen the working classes—the baBe of s ^ tiet ? , or prepare iert&e overthrow of the social fabric which can only rest on that basis .

La Mont . We
beg to assure Mr . Syme that we cad no intention of itflecting npon the character of Mr . la Mont by the admission of the paragraph in question . So far ss ¦ we know Mr .

We believe him to be a thoreu ^ h democrat , and an honest man ; and in jasjice to him we sntje-in the following exiracts from Mr . S / me ' a letter : — 3 it John O La Mont was for some time editor of theDiradee Chrtmide ; throngb his talents , exertions , and niiflinching honesty , that journal toss from a state of almost total prostration to a position cf respectability , and bade fair to become the national " organ cf
Chartism , in Scotland . Por bis honesty Mr .

His henesty was -unimpeachable ; and it is but fair that our English brethren should receive not the least impression that might tend to tarnish the nnspotted fame of one who has spent health , time , and ¦ wor ldly substance in the good cause , ilr . La Mont ' s name is associated in Scotland with the purest and highest aspirations for onr cause ; and I hope yon will forgive me for thns pnbliely attempting to defend a persecuted but ¦ pr . fl ' nr . hSTig -uncompromising Chartist .

The writer , calculates , that , at lesst , one ponnd per suit would be saved , if a thousand suits were made weekly ; this would amount to £ 52 t ) 00 per annum , which might be applied to the purchasing of land .

the New Plan of Organization . The fair miter asserts tha tqual Tights of her own sex , and denounces the supposed opposition of the Chartist body ta what she conceives to be tha " rights of women . " We have not room for the entire letter , bat give tae following : — It is to be regretted that a body of men otherwise advanced , and posEeseing many valuable truths , much political and social knowledge , should mar so grand a move bj any narrow and selfish views of human interests—men who , wisely and nobly resist class legislation , as a barbaric institution , worthy only or the lowest mental condition of mere animal man ! To find snch men , —it is painful to contemplate , —diminish ths glory of their enterprise by still preserving sex legislation !—a monstrosity j fraught with no less evil in its deteriorating effects on human character and hnmsn happiness { than the first absurdity , which the sword erected into law—which gross selfishness and filthy ignorance have maintained to tbe present hour .
But , Mr . Editor , whatever may be thought by fntnra and more enlightened , ages , of the wisdom , policy , and humanity of the Chartist decree , by continuing ia their new constitution the civil disabilities of women , they will have earned for themselves as a body the reputation of honest men ( no small prfzj ) , by a pnblic avowal of their views—so that woman may no longer remain in ignorance of the social condition reserved for her by the movement party , who , it appears , ia not yet prepared to feel an enlightened abhorrence of slavery" ! As EjiE MT to Whig axd Toby Tyjunn ? sends us tbe following : —
Some of the men employed in the Glasgow Potlery are in tbe habit of reading the Star ; and the articles which appear therein necessarily give rise to some remarks from those who read thtm . Some way or other , the master received information of thia , and he immediately gave orders to the effect—that all who were known to be Chartists , or readers of that pernicious journal , ( the Xorthem S . ' ar , ) -would be tamed off from their employment Now , Sit , I think all must admit that this i 3 downright tyranny . But there Is another circumstance also in connection with the above .
It is well known that the recent disruption in tbe Scottish Church gave rise to much clamour npon that subject . This also had at times occupied tbe attention of tbe men ; and some did not hesitate to assert their utter disgust at the coarse taken by the " Nons . " This also had reached the ears of the master ; and tha consequence was that another edict was issued to the fffect , that all infidels ( for Temember all are considered infidels who do not agree with themaster ) and Socialists were also to be turned off . The master , anialso his foreman , are both elders of churches ; the one a churchman , the other a dissenter ; the one a Whig , the other a Tory . Thes 9 men , no doubt , are considered very holy and religions by their respective sects . They must be aware of the fact that the restraint which they have imposed npon their workmen has a tendency to create hypocrisy ; and that which encourages hypocrisy must be opposed to practical virtue . The writer thus crynclnfleB —

shewn him . He adds that there are a number of victims remaining in K ; rkdole , whose situation calls loudiy for assistance . He says . " I know them well , having Enfi ^ red with them ; their conduct has been snch as to entitle them to the hearty sympathy and aid of the Chartists . There is one individual in particular , Mr . J . Williams , who is suffering nndsr a sentenca of two years' imprisonment . He suffered greatly last winter , and I fear will again this . I hope he will not be forgotten , but that the Chartists will supply him with tbe little necessaries the rules of the prison will permit him to have . He is of a very delicate constitution and merits better snpport than he has hitherto bad . " Mr . Hitcben concludes by expressing bis determination to work more zealously
than ever in tte good work of establishing the principles of the People ' s Charter . We commend the consideration of the above to the Victim Fund Committee . Thomas Pipeb most pardon na far not inserting his piping . He is a better patriot than a piper . F . Bisss—His lines will not bear criticism . It would be cruel in us to give him the " encouragement " he hopes for ; we fear that he is not likely to make a poet . James HaKDMan— The lines he sends us are pretty in sentiment , but tame , and deficient in execution : we most decline tbeir publication . Geobce LisdsaT—We are loth to disappoint a warm-KtartfeU Irishman like onr poetic friend , but " justice

" YES : and all other rates and taxes :
but if it was a condition when the bouse was taken that tbe landlord should pay them , the tenant can stop the several amounts be pays out of t&e rent . Our correspondent further asks : — " ( The bouse having windows , one being blocked up with a flag , and having six air holes in it , two inches by twelve inches , will that bs liable to be taxed ?

He was one of a few members of Parliament who signed a number of resolutions embodying the principles of the Charter j and Mr . OConnell also drew up , with his own band , a draft of a Bill , which he gave to the committee of working men belonging to the Working Men's Association ; and which draft embodied the principles of the Chartists : but the document known as the People ' s Charter , was drawn up by Wm .

The letter we are replying to , purporting to be from " William Lilley , " is a decent , creditable , business-like letter ; while the " original communication , " bearing also the name of William Lilley , was tbe dirtiest beasV that ever was seen . The penmanship was horrid ; the diction was worse ; while the orthoprapby banged Binager . Accompanying " William Liiley V last note there is another , which purports to be tbe paragraph that the section of Chartists before spoken of wish to have inserted .

The masters have assiduously circulated rumours that they wish to conciliate matters with us—that we are unreasonable in our present demands—and that we are driving the trade out of tbe country .

and what we demand . The masters complain tbe moat of the J advance on Spear Blades , and that we may meet thsni on fair grounds we will select that ariicle and give an account of tha price of them . " [ Here follows a tabla of figures , for which we have not room ] The address continues : — By this table you will perceive that we have made to some instances as many blades for one day work , as we ought to make for one and a half day work ; and at the
same time only received the price of half-a day ' c work j making one day ' s work for nothing . This was done by us in the nine-inch work , of wh'ch we made four dozen-and . six for a day work , instead of two and a half dtzen , and received for the four doasn and six blades 2 s ., or just half tke price we onght to have had for two and a half dozen . On all the large sfzss we have been reduced one-half , and on the small s ' z « one-third . At this rate of wages- a mac could not earn sufficient of food for himself and family .

You will perceive that the masters want to advance one-tbird on a day work , and reduce the price of lhat day work from 4 s . to 3 s ., or one-fourth-Knowing that they complain of the price of large spear blades , we have met them by reducing nine inches from Is . 7 d . per dc z ; n to Is . 2 d . ; ten inches frem Is . 8 Jd . to Is . fid . ; eleven inches from 2 s . 3 d . to Is 9 d- ; and twelve inches from 3 s . per dczen \ o 2 a , and yet they are not satisfied .
Pellow : Townsmen , —You may now judge whether we are unreasonable in onr demands or not ; ws have sacrificed 6 d . per day work on all foreign trade ; and we have made more blades per day work on all the large spear , and we have reduced from the count of none Of the Email size * . We have gone far on the conciliatory principle . But our employers , are tbe men who wish to conciliate matters ! they would do it , as you may see by their statements , if we would give them one-half of our wages—and that , in justice to ourselves and families , we cannot do . They have been unreasonable for tbe last five years , and remain so . They have acted the part of tyrants and oppressors . They reduced the price of labour ^ at first , a liitle at a time ; and whiUt we
could barely subsist we submitted to it , nay we even endured it till we became so poor that "we conld not resist . . Tke masters then took advantage of our necessities— they made encroachments upon our rights until our homes are comfortless , our families unclothed and unfed , and our qf springs uuscfiooted growing up to maturity in ignorance . Out condition cas beun unbearable , for we have been compelled either to wither out a hungry , miserable existence , or go into debt . If otfeer trades have been served by their masters as we have , ( and we believe that to be the case ) , well way the shopkeeper be short of customers , or be obliged \ . < e > credit hia goods to persons , who , however willing , have not tbe ability to pay . " The address thus concludes : —
For tbe last few months , we have been earning about 12 a . per week ; at the same time , if we hart had oui original price , we should have been earning £ 1 is ., and at the price we now ask £ l is . The masters complain of so auddtn a rise , but why did not they raise our prices gradually ? They luve had sufficient opportunity , and have actually pittied us for having to work for 8 © little . But their pity was insincere , or they would have made the attempt long ago ; and had they desired to see the employed well clothed , well fed , and comfortable tht-y would not have reduced their men at alL If they had done their duty , they would have consnlted the workman before they sold his labour beneath its value . Tbe principle of avarice runs through all their movements . They have competed with each other in the market—have reduced the price , to induce
ths merchants to make large purch&sf s ; by thia means have glutted tbe market , and have been obliged to reduce again to obtain another Bale . Thus their competition is the cause of reduction , and not the want of demand . But what care they for all this?—the poor must pay for it , —the workmen must ba tbe sufferers . Bad trade has too often been only a pretext for a bad man ' s encroachments on another's rights ; and in many instances they hare selfishly pocketed largo profits instead of circulating part of them amongst tbeir workmen . Is this honourable dealing from man to man ? If the masters think it is , let them answer our statements , or call a public meeting , where the people may arbitrate the affair;—if they do net we shall . They have been practising upon ua lawless robiery , and now that we want the privilege to keep our own , they call us unreasonable .
GBACcntrs—We suggest to our correspondent that it will be better to wait for the Enrolment of the present Plan , before we open any discussion as to ' desirable additions . "
