" We regard the work before us , the " Silent Friend , " as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood , and passed over by the majority of the medical profession , for what reason we are at a loss to know . We must , however , confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds , that we not only recoramend , but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly , or suffering from indiscretion , to profit by the advice contained in its pages . " —Aoe and Argus . " The Authors of the " Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a _ class of complaints which are , we fear , too prevalent in the present day . The perspicuous style in which this book is written , and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage ttctlf , cannot fail to recoinmend it to a careful perusaL "— . " This work should be Tead by all who value health and wish to enjoy life , for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt . —Farmers' Journal . THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM . Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions o £ life , and is exclusively directed to the cure 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 afibrd decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in 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 which 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 seducive error—into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a perj nicions application of those inherent rights which nature ! wisely instirated for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature dein-epitude , and all the habitudes of old age .

A CURE ! FOR ALL !! HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS . E XTRAORDINARY CURE of a Case abaudoned by GUY'S , the METROPOLITAN , XLVG'S COLLEGE , and CHARING CROSS HOSPITALS . This fact was sworn to this « tli day of March , 1842 , before the Lobd Mator , at the Mansion House . SUMMABT OF AFFIDAVIT . ff . Brooke , Messenger , of 2 , Union-street , Southwark , London , inaketh oath and saith , that he ( this deponentj was afflicted with Fifteen liuuning Ulcers on his left arm , and ulcerated sores and wounds on both legs , for whieh deponent was admitted an out-door patient at the Metropolitan Hospital , in April , 1841 , where he continued for nearly four weeks . Unable to receive a cure there , the deponent sought relief at the three following hospitals : —King ' s College Hospital in May . for five ; -tvteks ; at Guy's Hospital Vn July , for six weeks ; and at Charing Cross Hospital at the end of August , for some weeks more ; which deponent left , being in a far worse condition than when he had quitted Guy ' s , whore Sir Bransby Cooper , : ind other medical officers of the establishment , had told deponent that the only chance of saving his life was to lose iris adm ! The deponent thereupon called upon Dr . Bright , chitf physician of Guy ' * , who , on viewing the deponent ' s condition , kindly and liberally said , " I am utterly at a loss what to do for you ! but here is half a sovereign ; go , to HOLLO WAY , and try what effect his Pills aitd Ointment will have , as I have frequently witnessed the wonderful effects they have in desperate cases . You can let me see you again . " This unprejudiced advice was followed by the depopent , and n perfect crRE effected in three weeks by the use alone of HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT , after four Hospitals had failed ! When Dr . Bright was shown by the deponent the result of his ad-rice and charity , he aaid , " I am both astonished and delighted , for I thought that if I ever saw you again alive , it would be without your arm ; I can only compare this cure to a charm 1 " ( Sworn at the Mansion House of the City of London , this 8 th day of March , 1842 . ) Before me , JOHN PIRIE , Mayor . In all Diseases of the Skin , bad legs , old wounds and ulcers , bad breasts , sore nipples , stony and ulcerated cancers , tumours , swellings , gout , rheumatism , and lumbago , likewise in cases of Piles—the Pills in all the above cases , ought to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty , and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone . The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of muschetoes , sand-flies , chiego-foot , yaws , and coco-bay . Burns , Scalds , Chilblains , Chapped Hands and Lips , also Bullions and Soft Corns , wili be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment . The PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when used with the Ointment , but as a General Medicine there is nothing equal to them . In nervous affections they will be found of the greatest service . These Pills are , without exception , the finest purifier of the Blood ever discovered , and ouo ht to be used by ail !

ROWLAND'S ODONTO , OR PEARL DENTIFRICE . Patronised by Her Majesty The tjueeii , " 'he Royal Family , and tlie several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe . A fragrant White 1 ' ovvder , prepared from Oriental Herbs of inestimable virtue , for preserving and beautifying tlie TEETH . It eradicates the factitious formation of tartar , and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums .

MANCHESTER . CiiAimst Sunday School Tea Party . —A tea part y of the scholars , teachers , and friends connected with the Chartist Sunday School , was held in the Carpenters' Hall , on the afternoon of Sunday last ; the party was both numerous and respectable . The room was tastefully decorated . The tea and other requisites vyere of first-rate quality , and the arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the parties present did much credit to the committee of young men who had the management of the affair , Mr .

WELLING BOKO UGH . The Way to Get tue Charter .. —On Monday-evening last Mr . Gammage , of Northampton , visited this town , and addressed a meeting of the friends ot Chartism at the house of Mr . JJornsey . Mr . G . addressed the meeting on the necessity of the Chartist body being prepared to bring forward Chartist candidates at the next general election , and read a plan by which a county election fund could be raised for that purpose . The plan met with general approval , and it was resolved to appoint a delegate to a county delegate meeting , to be held at Northampton on the second Sunday in the new year , when we hope that every locality will unite in determining upon taking practical steps by wliicli the standard of Chartism may be placed on a sure and lasting basis .
SHEFFIELD . Fig-tree-lane . — On Sunday evening Mr . John West delivered a , lecture , on the " Necessity and utility of Trades' Combinations , " to a very numerous and attentive audience . At half-past six o'clock Mr . Cartledge was called to the chair , and read the " Address of the Boston Trades' Delegates" from the Northern Star , which was received with enthusiastic applause . Mr . West commenced by remarking on the similarity of the movement of the Trades in America and England ' , affording one of the most convincing proofs that the real contest now waging throughout the civilised world was between tyrannical capital on tfic one hand , an < l . ' suffering labour on the other-Biit it was a " great fact , " that , in spite of all
opposition , the cause of Lalraur was making groat and rapid progress . Mr . West then' took up the objection that had been urged against Trades' Unions ,, and replied to them seriatim , and argued , from the combinations of the capitalists , the necessity of Trades combining for mutual protection . Me then took an ample review of Messrs . Chambers' tract , the " Employer and the Employed , " ably exposing the various Fallacies and sophistries of that infamous work , and concluded an address of upwards of two hours' duration , amid universal approbation . After a few remarks from Mr . Briggs , a vote of thanks was given to Mr . West , and the meeting separated . It is most gratifying to tind that the Trades who were most bitterly prejudiced against the Chartists as a body , now attend the lectures in great numbers . This argues favourably for the progress of our glorious cause .
GLASGOW . Visit of Messrs . Stcrue and Crawford . —Under other circumstances , I would feel sorry to have to record the utter failure of the banquet in honour of these gentlemen , which was held in the Trades Hall , on Thursday evening , Dec . 5 th . Not so on the present occasion ; for I deem it of great importance that Joseph Sturge ( Crawford , owing to the serious indisdosition of his lady , did not attend ) should be taught practically what influence his satellites possess , and in the present' instance , that lias been afforded . True , they may attempt to console themselves from the recollection that . when they were here , about two vears ago , that upwards of 800 attended the soiree in
the City Hall , I can tell Mr . Sturge , that of the number that attended on that occasion , the greater part did attend believing , what was ostensibly set forth , that it was got up in order to assist in liquidating the debt due to Mr . G . Ross . Mr . William Pattison was treasurer for that soirGe . I was present when he ( Pattison ) moved that it be got up : "theproceeds or surplus to go to liquidate the debt on the Chartist Circular , owing to Mr , G . Ross ; " yet no account has ever been rendered to Mr . Ross in the case . This was disgraceful towards Mr . Ross , not only on the part
of Pattison , but also on that of every individual responsible for ,- or concerned in getting up that soiree , in not having compelled Pattison to produce a balance-sheet , showing how every farthing ' of that money had been expended . The people have found out the real mefits of these men , and they have for some time past treated them accordingly ; in proof of which , only about one hundred and twenty persons attended the affair in the Trades' Hall on Thursday evening : certainly no great encouragement to the leader of the Complete Suffrage Movement . I do not say this in disparagement of

Mr . Sturge , } for I think he is misled . On Friday evening , what they call a " conversational meeting , " was held in the saloou of the . Trades' Hall , for the purpose of "jeffecting a Union , of all parties . " The proceedings yrete commencedby Mr . Murchy stating the oWecf | jof ] the nieeting , frohv which it appeared that tile individuals who called i £ had no definite object to lay befor&them . After ¥ 'few words from Mr . Sturge , Mr . SJ . Lang spoke in favour of being guided by public opinion , and appealed to Mr . Sturge himself as to the | prejudicial result of the conduct of the minority of pie Birmingham Conference . He contended that it was utterly useless to speak of union unless they were prepared to act on Democratic principles . Mr . I Sturge , in reply , said that they had
not called the meeting with a view to discuss any particular line of policy , but rather to have a friendly conversation , in the hope that they might come to a better understanding . He spoke of Mr . Crawford's recommendation last year as to the necessity of keeping the Suffrage question constantly before Parliament , J and concluded by recommending that the people in the various boroughs throughout the country should ascertain by ballot the opinion of the whole adult paale inhabitants as to the persons they might wish to send to Parliament at the next general election . Mr . Colquhoun said , that as far as Glasgow was concerned , such an attempt at present would be mere waste qf time and money . They knew they had a vast majority of the whole inhabitants with them ,
and though they were to canvass the city , as recommended by tyr . Sturge , the Whigs would give the same auswor that had been often given , " these men have no vote on the day of election , therefore we must be guided by the opinion ot the electors " . Whatever professions some of these men mis ; ht make to Mr . Sturge , he might depend upon it they were not yet prepared to throw off the Whigs . As a sample , he would refer him " to his'i ( Mi \ S . ' s ) friend , the late Provost , 'John Henderson of Paisley , Editor of the Glasgow Post , the professed organ of the Complete Suffrage party . At the time , of the late Kilmarnock election , the reporter of the Post gave most flattering reports of the proceedings | of the meetings called by the Complete Suffrage party , while John Henderson , who writes
both the Glasgow and Paisley leading articles , did everything in his power to damn the cause of Vincent . That was a specimen of what was to be expected from ! these men—he ( Mr . C . ) contended that the people ( ought not to spend any money where they had no prospect of carrying their' man . Mr . Robert Malcolm rose , and in his usual style attempted to ) defend his superior , Provost Henderson , as well as himself for the conduct of the " establishment , "in the case of the Kiknarnock election . He then entered upon what he contended is the real difference l > etween the Complet es and the Chartists . Xow , mark'what follows— "The cause of difference was the tyrannical conduct of the Chartists in attempting to put down all public meetings but their
own , for whatever purpose they might be called . He would refer , in particular , to the meetings called by the Anti-C ' o ' rn-Law League , and in particular , their conduct iu voting for Tories . Unless they were prepared to denounce such conduct in future , he believed he expressed the feelings of the Complete Suffrage Committee , ; with whom he was acting , . when he said , there could be no union . " Mr . Lang asked whether Mr . Malcolm expressed . the views of the Complete Suffrage party ? Mr . M . M'Farlane said , ' tor his own part he concurred in every wordjadvanced by Mr . Malcolm . —Mr . Moir denied the { insinuations thrown out by Mr . Robert Malcolm as to the Chartists wishing to support
Toryism . It never was a principle with the Chartists to vote for Tories ; while he admitted that a portion of the more earnest of them had urged the policy of voting for a Tory where there was a reasonable probability of i destroying the , Whigs ; but they never recommended other people to vote for Tories , or even thought themselves of voting for Tories for the mere sake of doing so . Their object was to destroy a faction that had basely betrayed the people . They ( the Whigs ) used the people as instruments to force the Reform Mil ) from the aristocracy , and -then turned round and { persecuted the very men that were the means of carrying them into power . These were the reasons why the people . oppt » ed the Whit's , and not from anv attachment to Torvism : and
as to the j <| iie- < ti (> 'i of attending public meetings indiscriniiuatcly , lie denied that ever the people had done mi . [ Mi ' people were possessed of sufficient < li- * . crhninaT . iiir . to kiiovv what meetings tt > attend . Mr . M : i !<( iijn had laid particular stress upon the subject of Com Law Repeal : the people attended those lueetiit ' - s hecauM" it was their duty and their riirht to do so . -Three years ayo James Acland told --them , in the lity Hall , " that he I Acland ) admitted the Charter to ; be a ;/>> od tiling , and that the people ought to have it , but then they could not wait for it , because the people wvrc starving . He ( Mr . * MoirJ would like to know whether the people were better fed Snow than they were three years ago , or whethet" the League had any better prospects
now than then ( The truth was , that this man and his friends were now looking to the next general election , the result of which was altogether problematical . He I Mr . Moir ) contended that they could not get a total repeal of the Corn Laws without the Charter , and he further contended that the whole people ought to he 'consulted as to the circumstances under which those laws should be repealed . He , therefore , justified the conduct of the people in attending those and all such meetings . Mr . M'Farlane , said that he never would vote | . for a Tory ; but he ( Mr . Moir ) was sorry to find that neither Mr . M'Farlane nor many of his friends had yet seen the propriety of declaring that they could I not unite with men who would vote for a Whig . For his own part , he cared as little for the one as the other . A young man moved that a Committee be I appointed for the purpose of calling a public meeting in order to consider the whole question . This was opposed by M'Farlane and others' on the
ground that the meeting had not been called for such purpose . Mr . Sturge disapproved of going to the public , as f'he was afraid the public mind was not yet fully prepared ; therefore it might be dangerous . " After somfc remarks from BurreU , Sherrington , < fcc , the latter f whom told Sturge that it was preposterous to speak of the existence of a Complete Suffrage Association in Glasgow : the truth was , they had no association ; there was only one association in Glasgow , the National Charter Association ; therefore , if they wished to aet upon principle , they would join that one which was in existence , and which had the sanction of public opinion . The mover of the motion said , that las it appeared that Mr . Sturge , and his friends were not inclined to be guided by public opinion , he would withdraw his motion . The meeting then broke up . —1 had almost forgot to mention that our friend Pitkethly was present , and made a few but bold and unreserved remarks on the conduct of the Completes .
1 HEBDEN BRIDGE . Lectures . —Mr . Wiliam Bell , of Heywood , delivered two ! instructive lectures in this place , on Sunday last , to respectable and attentive audiences . At the conclusion of the evening's lecture a vote of thanks was given to Mr . Bell , and the meeting broke up . j
; DUNDEE . The Christian Chartist Church of this place held a Soiree in the Watt Institution Hall , on the evening of Tuesday last . Round the walls of the rooms were hung a considerable number of the portraits of the people ' s friends , who either have suffered in the cause of Liberty , or have been distinguished advocates | of human freedom . At the hour of meeting Mr . John Hunter , pastor of the congregation , took thi'chair , surrounded by a number of the staunch advocatesj of civil and religious liberty . An excellent repast was served up and enjoyed in the spirit of sot ial friendship . The chairman introduced Mr . William [ Flceming , who spoke to the following sentiment ^ : — " Soonmay benevolence and temperance characterise all classes in the community . " The sentiment ; met with the approbation of ' the " meeting . Mr . J . C . { Hunter was next introduced to the assembly , who , ; in an eloquent and masterly style ,
supported the sentiment- — " Soon may the , precepts and blessings of Christianity be as extensive as the human family . " | The speaker , on resuming his seat , was warmly applauded . Mr . Archibald M'Donald , late of Aberdeen , was next introduced , and supported the sentiment— " May mankind speedil y be in possession of all those privileges , both civil and sacred , which heaven hath destined them to enjoy .. " The chairman then introduced Mr . S . G . Mustarde , from Fife , who , in ah energetic manner , supported the following sentiment : — " May all those political martyrs , now the victinis of a corrupt and tyrannical government , soon be restored to liberty and to home . " Mr . Mustarde gayo a detail of the sufferings of the patriots , shewing jthat their punishment could neither be sanctioned by justice nor Christianity , and was well received . ! The entertainment was enlivened by the performances of the church choir . We ' are happy to state that . £ 1 17 s . was collected at the church door on Sabbath last , in aid of the familvof John Duncan .
j DERBY . Important Public Meeting for the Restoration op Frost ; , Williams , and Jones . —For some time past the friends of the cause in this town have made grea exertions to obtain an influential meeting , to memorialize her Majesty for the remission of the sentence ?* of the above patriots . It is with much pleasure ] that we now state , that party feeling seems entirely jto have subsided in this town ; for in tlie requisition , signed by upwards of two hundred , the names of the influential of all parties have been recorded , concurring in the justice and-propriety ol restoring Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native
land . The mayor convened the meeting , which took place in < the Town Hall—the first meeting of the inhabitants of Derby which has taken place in the new hall , that , noble building being only just completed . The meeting , though called for twelve o ' clock , was well attended by It-he working-classes , Mr .

NORTH LANCASHIRE . Oswaldwhistle . —Lecture . —On Wednesday evening Mr . M'Grath lectured in the large room of the Tinker and Budget inn , to a numerous meeting Twenty-eight cards of membership were taken out . Wheatley Lane . — Discussion . — On Thursday evening , according to previous arrangement , a public discussion took place in the spacious Inghamite Chapei of this place , between Mr . M'Grath and Mr . C . Owen , of Burnley . The subject for discussion was , " Would the immediate Repeal of the Com Laws , and the establishment of Free Trade , under existing arrangements , be beneficial to the Working Classes ?" Mr . Owen undertook to prove the affirmative
of the proposition , and Mr . M'Grath the . negative . The meeting was the largest ever held in Wheatley Lane , consisting of between six and seven hundred persons . Mr . Cox acted as chairman on the part of the Repealers , and Mr . Walker was appointed to act for the Chartists . The arrangements were , that each speaker should have four speeches—half an hour for the first , and a quarter of an hour each for the three last . Mr . OweH commenced the debate by giving a history of the Corn-Laws , and eloquently vituperating the landlords for their injustice in enhancing the price of the poor man ' s loaf . Mr . M'Grath commenced by fixing the . attention of the meeting on the question at issue , which
was , would Repeal and Free-trade benefit the industrious classes ? They could beonly substantially bene fitted by increasing their wages , or by cheapening bread and keeping wages at their present level . The onus was upon Mr . Owen to prove this , and if he failed in doing so , he failed in the accomplishment of the object for which he attended that meeting . Mr . M'Grath then entered into an exposition of the plausible absurdities which constitute the Free Traders' creed . He proved , to the evident satisfaction of the meeting , from the speeches of Hume , Villiers , Bowring , Fitzwilliam , &e ., that the objects the Free Traders have in view in seeking the repeal of the Corn Laws is to cheapen food that they might reduce wages ; and by
reducing wages , to lessen the cost of production ; and by lessening the cost of production , to carry on a successful competition in foreign markets . The debate throughout was conducted with the strictest decorum and propriety , and at its conclusion Mr Mooney , of Colne , stepped forward and submitted the following resolution for the adoption of the meeting : — "That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Repeal of the Corn Laws and the establishment of Free Trade would not , under the operation of existing laws and institutions , be beneficial to the industrious classes of this empire j and this meeting entertains no hope of removing the evils which afflict society , until the whole people are represented in the Commons House of Parliament , and the interest of Labour is protected by the laws of
the realm . Mr . Cox , the Repealer ' s chairman , objected to put the resolution . Mr . Owen likewise objected , alleg-iiicr that the majorities were no criterion of truth . Mr . M'Grath urged the propriety of submitting the resolution , considering the meeting equally entitled to express an opinion on the 'Subject as himself or Mr . Owen . Mr . Owen then moved an amendment to the effect , that " the Repeal of the Coati Laws , and Free-trade , would be beneficial to the working claws . " The amendment was then put ; when not twenty hands were held up for it . The resolution was next put , when nearly evei-y hand in the Chapel was uplifted in its favour . " Vote ' s of thanks having been awarded to the chairman and the trustees of the Chapel , the meeting separated , highly pleased w . i ' u the evening ' s proeeedinea .

It gate me great pleasure to find that full employrnei * had in nowise cooled the feeling in favour of Chartism , fir which this patriotic village has been so long and * justly famous . Here , too , 1 found one of those rart exceptions from the general rule of conduct amongst the middk classes towards our cause , in the person of Mr . Harrower , one of the oldest manufacturers in the place . who not only attended the meetine , butwithbu three amiable sons were the first to join the association . This good man has erected a beautiful hall , which the Chartist body can have any night in the week , if they should require it , without the least expense . On Tuesday evening I went in companj
with a party of the Alva friends to Tillicoultry , another manufacturing village , distant about two miles from Alva , where I had a pretty good and InKl ligent audience , and formed a strong locality of the Association . On the following evening , WeanesdaTi I addressed an attentive audience at another viflagft called Colsnaughton , and at the close of the lecture , as I had done on the two former events , formef * good body of the Association . On Tliursaa ; morninfl I started foT Crieff , and on my way stopped at Stirling famous in Scottish history as the residence pftw ancient kings . I visited the castle , or palace , »*» had a sight of the cell in which two of the martjrt of 181 S » , viz ., hirdd and Hardv , were confined .

" As I stood ga ^ on the spot , rendered sacred by the blood of them ^" tyrs , 1 rave vent to mj feelings by pouring out ¦ execrations and maledictions on the heads of the nitf ' derers . Surely , I thought , tlie day will arrive wen the wronged and insulted millions , throwing off W trammels of kings and priests , will rise in mig ht , ^ crash the base minions of corruption who are feediBtj upon their very vitals , and who make it " treason to love liberty , and " death" to defend it . From ® * contemplation of this scene 1 turned in disgust , J & *
bent my steps towards the memorable field of j »»" nockburn , situate about two miles east of StirhnS j and celebrated as the spot on which Robert Eru <* and his brave compatriots defeated the legions ol tw "Southern invaders , and struck the decisive bio whieh gave Scotland to the Scotch . " From the n * on the summit of which proudly floated the " #° P ensign" of Bruce , on the day which gave ^ ton- to his arms and peace to his cour 3 may be seen a beautiful and extensive trw » of lately reclaimed land , the ground on w&it " the battle was fought , being at that time , an " .
