SECRECY . —SUCCESFUL TREATMENT . MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT , 13 , Trafalgar Street ^ Leeds . IT may be stated as a faot , that there is no disease which has demanded more , or received less , attention from the Medical Profession generally , than Lues Fenera . From this cause alone , it is allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By tho application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of every hundred of these might be saved . Bat to attain this , it is -necessary that a Medical Practitioner should devote his time almost exclusively to the consideration of thiB most inaidious and dangerous disease . It appears under so manj varied forma , and assumes so many different aspects , that nothing but coBstant experience can enable even the most devoted student to detect and eradicate it . When a Medical Man abandons the general practice of the Profession , and devotes his studies entirely to this particular branch , then he at once looses caste , and is branded by 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 the 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 all 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 effeotual care . In most instances , & few days h&vo sufficed to eradicate tbeDiseaBe ; but where the disorder has been allowed to make serious inroads by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily beeu required to complete 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 the most signal success . Perhaps no Medicine was ever offered to the Public , which has been bo efficacious in restoring the diseased to health and vigour They are powerful and speedily efficacious , in the most obstinate as well as recent cases . A Treatise of twelve pages is given with them , explaining the various aspects of the Disease ; and the directions are so full and explicit , that persons 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 Poat-office Order , for Three Shillings and Sixpence . Within the space of six months a very large edition of this valuable Work has been disposed of , which will be a sufficient test of its importance . It is a Practical Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of the Venereal Disease , and other affections of the urinary and sexual organs , in both sexes , with a mild and suc&eBsful mode of treatment , in all their forms and consequences ; especially Gleet , Stricture , affections of the Bladder , Prostrate Glands , Gravel , & 0 . 1 Shewing also the dangerous consequences of Mercury , BHch a& eruptions 1 of tke skin , pain in ths body , tc , with plain directions for a perfeot restoration—embellished with Engravings . An ample consideration of the disease of the woman ; also nervous debility ; including a comprehensive Dissertation ou the anatemy of marriage , impaissance , celibacy , sterility or barrenness , and other various interruptions of the laws of nature . Also , observations on the Secret Sin of Youth , which ertails such fearful consequences on its victims . This invaluable little Work , together with their Purifying Drops and other Medicines , may be had of W . & Co .. at their Establishment , 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds ; or of the following AGENTS . Leeds . —Mr . Heaton , Bookseller , 7 , Briggate , and at the Times Offioe . Liverpool—At tho Chronicle Office , 25 , Lord-street . Manchester ;—Mr . Watkinson , . Druggist , 6 , Market-place .

A remittance of £ 1 is required before medicine and advice can be sent ; but parties may rely upon the most prompt and faithful attention . Medicines are invariably sent off the day after receiving the remittance , and they are so seourely packed as to ensure their safe transit , and escape observation .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written ana practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical praotitionere . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent Vet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents . Guardians , Heads of Families , 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 require for their safe management the exclusive Btudy of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentivoiy concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider thfctopics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , 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 be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas ok Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both soxes , 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 " Manlt Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the paosions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , 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 phyaioal appearance of their youthful offspring ; howtheattenuaiionofthe frame , palpitation of the heart , derangem 6 nt ofthenervou 8 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 channel for 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 1 very strangely , negleotod by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedhess to a deoply 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 clear intelligible stylo , and ia evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . "—The Magnet . "' The security of happinjss in thb mahriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread ontering 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 of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated heal th .

Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable adoantage whioh she has already derived from them . She further states that she is now almost well , aud ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use ojf that sovereign medicine , Parr ' s Life Pills . j Communicated by Mr . Bawden .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM . Is a gentlestimnlantand renovator of the impaired functionsof life , and is exclusively directed to the euro of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence ia solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up whioh places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical result * but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of sedaoive error , — into agradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude « and all the habitudes of old age .

ALLEGED SLAVE TRADING . M . Pedro de Zulnet * top charged at the Central Crbnipal Court , en Friday , "with manning "and equipping a vessel for the purpose of slave-trading . Tiefact »* of the ease maybe collected from the following statements contained in the opening speech of Mr . Sergeant Bomfas , who , with Mr . Sergeant ITaxtoitrd and-Mr . Payne conducted the prosecu-Kon . In the year J 839 the Augusta , asshe had since beea called , bnt tfc < a ? trading under the name of Golup- ? hick , tmder Russian colours , fully equipped foribe slave trade , was captured "by Captain Hill , and tsken into Sierra Leone , as a -vessel dealing in ihs alare-trade , of which there was no doubt . At Ihat time the Captain of the Tessel was a person of
the name of Bernardos , one of three persons named in the indictment , bnt who was not now upon his trial , and the crew ware entirely Spaniards , although the vessel sailed nnder Russian celours . Beinfc taken to Sierra Leone for the purpose of being condemned , the Court before which the question was io be tried was a mixed commission of the Spanish and British snbjeots , and they , considering that they iad no right to try a Tessel trading ander the itusFl » n flag , she was not condemned- ' From Sierra Leone the vessel was bronght to England , and being there claimed a . " a Russian Tessel by the Con 5 nl , 5 he was sold at Portsmouth to a person of file lame of Em&nuels .
On board the Tessel at Portsmouth there were severe-l " Leaguers , " vessels from ten to fifteen feet in diameter , which wa ? necessary for holding water on board slave ships ; and their fittings , although taken to pieces , ^ were in such a condition that they could be « asly pni together again . It was manifestly impossible for a ves-el with leasers and other £ ttin > s for the slave-trade stsndicg to leaTe the kingdom to go to Africa . Her destination snd purposes would be Known , ai . d she wonld be immediately seized ; they were , therefore , taken to pieces sad left in the "Tessel . There were also themeans Of constructing slave decks , the space between being Jhirty-two inches , in which th 6 slaves could not sitmuch less BtaM uptight . Of wraree a Tessel womld
not be allowed to go from thisofrantry so equipped ; Irai there were some screw bolts on board by which these decks could be put in at the port of Africa , eo astofil the vessel for carrying ilaveB . He should * lso prove an application at Portsmouth to enter , in order to go to the coast of Africa . In a letter written io Thomas Jennings ^ at Portsmouth , from the house of Zulueta and company , Sept . 26 , 1840 , directions were given ^ elatife to certain matters of expenditure connected with the Tessel , and instructions to JenjnnfB to take her to the Salthonse-dock , in Liverpool , sad & charter party was entered into , dated Oct . 19 , 1 S 4 O } which contained an agreement made between Thos . Jcnnin ^ F , as captain and owner of the Augusta , and Pedro Martinez and Co ; of HaracDab ,
merchants . The fine had akoa house at CadiXand Mr . Zulueta himself in his evidence stated that he knew from general report thst Don Pedro Martinez was himself supposed to deal in slaves , and he believed it to Jbo so . The charter party set forth that a cargo was io b&Tecdved onboard for Zaiueta . and Co ., the factors « f Martinez aud Co ., and to proceed to GaHinas , on the coast of Africa , and afterwards to the " West Indies , England , Africa , or the United States . It also contained a Teeeipt for £ 1400 , from Martinez and Co ., through Zulueta and Co ., for the disbursements of the ship , which sum Jennings undertook io repay from the earnings of the ship . The Tas 3 el sailed from Liverpool for Gallinas , which is abont 200 miles from Sierra Leone , and was a
slavestation , the sole trade carried on there being the Blare-trade . It consisted of five or six barracoons , © r warehouses—places where slaves are kept till there is an opportunity of their being Ehipped to Savannah or elsewhere . The three consignees of the cargo were persons of the names of Lolo , Ximenes , and Alvarez , persons having barracoons , and the place for which she sailed was , as he had said , purely a slave station . A question might occur as to ^ who vras the proprietor in ihiB case . Tnat question was wholly immaterial to the case , the only material question being what . was the evidence against the prisoner . Bat let tie Jury sot under *
Stand for a moment ihat he had the slightest wish to conceal himself . The prosecutor was the gentleman wrho instructed him ( Sir George Stephen ) , a gentle man related to one whose same had been known as long as the efforts to overthrow the slave-trade lad been continued in tbis country . Sir G . Stephen was the nephew of Mr . Wilbexforce ; and if it were thought by the friends of the abolition of slavery ihat it was necessary for some person to stand forward to bear the responsibility of proceedings ealenlated like the present to accomplish that object , lie had no objection to undertake thai great respon sibility .
A number of witnesses having been examined to jirove the above facts , the Court adjourned . - & 1 TE 22 X 1 T , October 23—The esse was resumed ibis morning , when a number of witnesses were examined , the effect of whose evidence only went to prove the nature of the fittings of the ship , and that its destination was a place in which the slave trade was carried on exclusively . Ml . Kkllt rose , and -contended at some iength , that there was no evidence to shew that the pri-BOErexiaQsEy inowleoge -whatever of the pnrpose for which the ship and the goods were to be used , Mnd tb * tjf it Thereto be so signed , znd sUovred tego to ajary , no mercantile house could ship goods with-OQt being liable to such an indictment . Mr . Justice Matjlb ( after consulting with Mr . Jnstiee Wightmaii ) , decided that the case ought to so to the jury .
Air . iSmtT tfien proceeded to take objections to deform of the indictment , after which-the Court adjourned . Mohdat , October 30—At the sitting of the Court fiaB morning , M . Pedro le Zolneta , who had been ont on baQ , again surrendered himself , and took his place in the dock . Sir John Pirie , Mr . Arroyne , Mr . Thos . Halifax , Mr . Sampson Ricardo , Baron Rothschild , Mr . Jc 3 e Maria Bareiro , the Spanish Consul ; Mr . Chs . Tbttie the Swedish and Norwegian Consul ; Dr . Arnott , 2 ir . Jones Lloyd , the hanker , and others gave the prisoner the highest character as a respectable merehant , and amaa of the highest integrity and honour , and stated their belief that he was incapable of
engaging an so nefarious a transaction as that charged against Mr . Z 3 lneta > Mr . Justice Maulb then proceeded io sum up the ease . The Jury then retired , and after remaining in deliberation for an hour and 40-minntes , returned into Court with a Terdict of Not Guilty . The prisoner was then arraigned for the misde-Bseaaoar , but the oonnsel for the prosecution having -declined to ^ offer any evidence , he was at once acquitted and discharged from custod y . Mr . Sergeant Bompasapplied to the Court to allow the expenoes of the prosecution . The application was granted . fThis was in type last weekj but a press of matter t&used it to be left over . ]

Alleged Child MrapEa . —Mr . Carter , the « oroner , yesterday held an inquest at the Dorset Arms , Cl&pham-road , on the body of a male child , the offspring of Elizabeth Learmouth , 000 k in the service of Mrs . Fanny Reeve , a lady of fortune , residing at 19 . Holland-place , Clapham-road . Emily Gibbs , housemaid in the establishment of Mrs . Reeve , stated that on Wednesday morning she took breakfast to Elizabeth in her room , as she had been unwell for two days . The witness then heard a dropping down the chimney , and observed the rain was falling ; to which Learmouth observed , " Yes it iB , but it wUl not be much . " Gibbs got a duster , and on wiping the grate found it was blood . She then pot her hand up the chimney to ascertain what it was , and having first pulled down a bag of shavings , found
a bundle « n the top of it covered with blood , which , upon being taken down- stairs , was found to contain the body of a child . " Witness went np to Learmouth , and told her what had been discovered , when she said , "Oh , don ' t let any one know it , it is my child . ' Upon being informed that Mrs . Reeve was aware of it , Bbe exclaimed Ob , put it away ; no one will find it . " She subsequently said it was born about two on Tuesday afternoon , but no one in the house ever supposed she-was pregnant . The jury after some deliberation returned a verdict , " that Che deceased died from the effects of strangulation produced by the umbilical cord round the neck during the birth , bnt that Elizabeth Learmonth , the mother , had been guilty of concealing the birth . "—Morning Chronicle , Saturday .
Phojsogbapht . —Mr . Pitman ' s first Leotare on Phonography , which was delivered in the Theatre of the Birmingham Philosophical Institution on Wednesday last , was attended by a very numerous and highly respectable audience ; indeed such was the desire to hear this first Lecture on this new and very useful science , that the room was crowded in every pan , and many respectable parties were unable to gain admission . As other Lectures will shortly be . given , the public will have an opportunity of a £ ain hearing Mr . Pitman on this interesting science . One or two brief facts , however , connected with the extraordinary spread of the science are entitled to notice , the announcement of which at the dose of the lecture ms received with surprise and
admiration . It was stated that more than 80 , 000 copies of Phonography are already in oiroulation , and that the science is used daily by several thousand persons . The Phonographic Journal , published monthly , has already reached a circulation of more than 1 . 00 D . It appears also that the Messrs . Pitman are in the habit of receiving and writing more than 350 letters per week in the phonographic character to ladies and gentlemen acquainted with the science , in different parts of England , Ireland , Scotland , and America . The following fact ( for reporters and all desirous of becoming such ) , copied from the PTionographic Journal fot this month , speaks volumes in favour of the science , both as regards its brevity and the extraordinary ease with which it may be
read : — " A sermon was taken down , in Bath , by a Phonographer ( verbatim ) , a few weeks since , and immediately forwarded to another Phonographer , who resided 100 miles distant , for his perusal , which vi&s read off at first sight with as much ease and rapidity as though it had been written in the common long hand ; although after the report bad been taken , not a single word w&b retouched by the writer , but sent off by poBt immediately . " Phonography , it appears , is s new And natural mode of writing by or according to sonnd applicable to all languages ; it is much briefer than any mere system of Stenography in existence , capable of being read as easily as long hand , and wr itten ten times as fast . The ease with which it may be learned is truly astonishing . From a notice of the system which has lately appeared in the Christian Lady ' s Magazine , it appears that a young gentleman , in the midst of other engagements ,
actually le&rned sufficient of the science in the leisure hoars of two days to address a letter to the author in the phonographic character . The numerous and respectable calls the Messrs . Pitman are daily reeeiving , both for private instruction and for arrange ments for public lectures to the Tarious Societies , prove that the Birmingham public are appreciating the true valne of this novel , philosophic , simple , and really interesting and useful method of writing . The subjoined opinion of Professors Thomson and Ramsay , two of the most eminent Professors of the Glasgow University , was furnished to Air . I . Pitman , of Bath , the author , without solicitation : — " We have examined with care and interest Mr . Pitman ' s analysis of vhe sounds in language , which is made the b&sk of Hs system of Phonography , and we conaideT it not only ingenious , bat also as founded throughout on correci philosophical principles . "—Birming ham Gazette .
