By R . and L . PERRY and Co ., Consulting Surgeons , Leeds and Birmingham .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the care of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from ay politic 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 ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable Btate , and that nervous mentality kept up which places tha 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 seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature docripitude , and all the habitudes of old age ¦ : —s-uch a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ! the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and nnhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony j and Btriking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It in for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co .. particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which ia intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , arc affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach ,, as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , ^ . c . As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortueBs of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowne ^ s of spirits , dimness ol sight , confused thoughts , wandering of { fie mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hjBterio complaints are gradually moved by its U 3 O . And even where the disease of Stability appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal-machine , and remove the uEual impediment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matbijionjai , State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price 11 s . each , or the quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 $ ., by which one 11 s . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ., Surgeons , 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-Btreet , Birmingham . Observe , noue are genuine without the signature of It . & L . FERRY AND Co . impressed in a stamp on the outside of each wrapper , to imitate which is felony ol tho deepest dye . The Five Pound cases , ( tho purchasing ef which will be a saving of one pound twelvo shillings ;) may be had as usual at 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , and 4 , Great Charles-strcct , Birmingham ; and Patients in the country who require a course of this admirable medicine , should send Five Pounds by letter , which will entitle them to the full benefit of such advantage . May be had of all Booksellers , Druggists , and Patent Medicine Venders in town and country throughout the United Kingdom , the Continent of Europe and America . Messrs . PEKRY expect when consulted by letter , tbe usual fee of one pound , without which , no notice whatever can be taken of the communication . Patients are requested to be as minute as possible hi the deta 1 of their cases , as to the duration of the complaint , the symptoms , age , habits of living , and general occupation- Medicines can be forwarded to any part of tho world ; no difficulty can occur , as they will bo securely packed , and carefully protected from observation . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 a . 9 d ., 43 . 6 d ., and 11 s . per box . ( Observe the signature of R . and L . PERRY and Co . ou the outside of each wrapper ) are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for erery stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrbsev Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency and all diseases of the Unnary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not on ' y in r * cent and severe cases , but when salivation , and all other means have failed ; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections , Eruptions ou any part of the body , Ulcerations , Strofuious or Venereal Taint , being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . It ia a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the nnskilfulness of illiterate men ; who , by the use ot that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulcerations , blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of eight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sore throat , diseased nose , with ooctural pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy deatfe pu « a period to their dreadful sufferings . Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted as usual at . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , and 4 , Great Charies-streec , ( four doors from Easy-row , ) Birmingham , punctually , from Eleven in the Morning until Eight in the Evening , and on Sundays from Eleven till One . Only one personal visit is required from a country patient , to enable Messrs . Perry and Co . to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , alter all other means have proved ineffectual . £ ?> N . B .

M'Docall- —The Chartists of Manchester write us to deny the statement of Mr . Benbate to the Committee in London-, that he stopped in Manchester eight weeks , waiting of the Countil to bring the matter to tome decision . They % ay that after his application to the Council , a deputurn waited upon him , at his residence , and informed him that the Council had communicated wUh iPDouail on the subject , and that M'Douall was Killing to meet him before any general meeting of the members ; to which Mr . Benbow
replied , that he would do no such thing , as he was convinced that , in consequence of M Doualfs popularity and his recent tour through the conn ' try , every old woman would cry out he had done right by advising the prisoner * to plead guilty .

MANCHESTER . —Another Enckoachhent upon the Labouring Class . —Last week a scheme was introduced at one of the largest cotton mills in this vown . A number of females were employed on single frames formerly , but now they have coupled them together , and tbns compelled one woman to perform double work for the same money , and for every frame thu 3 altered & female had to be discharged . Those left , finding that more work had been put upon them , determined to ask the master for
more money , who , by way of reply , asked them how they could forsbame thifik of such a thing as ezpect even a sixpence . At another mill they have discovered a plan to clean under and about the spinning frames , thus doing away witn the scavengers . It is f aid that this has been resorted to because under the late " Factory Act , " they were compelled to give them education . The result of the scheme being brought into full operation , has been the cause of a large number of boys being drives into the streets . Improvements are daily going on .
EDINBOEGH . —Loxdox Masoss—The slaters of Edinburgh have transmitted through their president , the sum ol £ 7 as a donation to the masons on c trite . ttttt . t . —The operative masons of Hull , lately in the employ ef Messrs . Myres and Wilson , have struck m defence of their rights . On the 6 iof November , their wages were reduced to meet the shortness of the day 3 ; and now they are wanted to work all the day-hght there is , for three-quarters of a day , which is , at this time of the year , a . full day , according to the custom of the trade . The threequarters of a day would only be at the rate of four cays and a half per week , so , by such reduction of time , they would only have 18 i . per week , a reduction of six shillings per week in their weekly wages .
O « Christmas Day , at three o clock in the afternoon , a lecture will be delivered at No . 8 , Church Side , Huil , on the character , person , and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ , and on the teachings and tendency of the Christian Religion , in its personal , social , and political bearings , by the Rev . William
Hill . HUDEEBSFIEXiD . —Mtstebious Case . —On Tuesday morning week , Sarah Hooley , a female in the service of Mr . Peter Tromble , painter , Buxton Road , was found in an alarming state of illness ; and alter being put to bed , a surgeon was sent for , to whom the confessed that Bhe had that morning been delivered of a child , which she had left in the privy . Search was immediately made , but no trace of the bedy could by any possibility be discovered . The afEair coming to the knowledge of the police , At . Jonathan Leech went to take the young woman into custody , but finding her in such an exceedingly weak state , he , by the advice of the surgeon , deferred for a fchori time her apprehension . However , on Sunday morning her friends had the yoang woman conveyed away , and the authorities are now at fault as to her place of concealment .
Robberies . —Yery numerous are the petty robberies that take place in this neighbourhood during the prevailing darkness of night , indeed it is not bo much to be wondered at , as regretted , seeing poverty spreads it&elf first around the district that is said to be the mother of crime . On Monday night last , some person or persens broke into a whitesmith ' s shop of T . Turner , and took therefrom a large bunch of skeleton keys ; and last night , the cellar of Mr . Cromher ' s house , at Fixby , was entered , and large ' quantities of wine , fcpirits , aad victuala of various kinds , was taken away . Considering the masses that arc out of employ , and their desire to live so long as they can possibly obtain-food , the greatest wonder is that there are bo few , which proves one thing in favour of the working classes , viz . that they nave a greater desire to work than to rob .

BRADFORD . —Attempted Assassination . — On Thursday night , the 9 th instant , an attempt was made to shoot Messrs . C . and E .

The P * rty who flred tBe pistol stood within four yards of them : the tall only just missed the top of Mr . C . Waud ' 6 ahoulder , and was picked up the next morning , having strnok against the wall , and fallen down by the side of it . No clue whatever U known as to wno is the guilty party . Alarm of Fire . —On -Friday afternoon , about three o ' clock , the ringing of the fire bell alarmed the inhabitants and the fair goers , and on the whereabouts being announced , an immense crowd hastened up Mannin&ham-laue . The scene of the
nre was on the premises of Mrs . Atkinson , widow of the late Mr . Atkinson , bookseller , of this town , and situate in Spring-gardens . The origin of the fire is yet involved in mystery , for whea discovered it was in the centre of abed , in a chamber in which no fire had been , to Mrs . A . ' s knowledge , daring the day . On the arrival of the Commissioners'engine , some individuals were engaged in forcing the bed through the chamber window into the garden below , and there did not appear at that moment any necessity for its employment . Having , however , found water in the cistern , the firemen prepared for operation , and in a few minutes commenced throwing water in at the chamber window ; whilst this was going on , some individuals ascended the roof , and , under the impression that the fire was in the false roof or cockloft , began to pull eff the Blates , but it was discovered that there was no fire there , and the engine ceased to play . The smoke arising from the burning
bed led to the idea that more fire existed than really did , and the bed being got rid off , the smoke cleared away . Mr . John Sugden , brother to Mrs . Atkinson , remained on the premises during the night , and felt satisfied that no fireesisted in any part of the dwelling ; but what renders the oiroumstance the more mysterious and singular , on Saturday morning a fire broke out again in the closet or wardrobe , where , during the night , no fire could be deteoted in the slightest degree . This was speedily overcome ; but the accompanying circumstanoes are yet not accounted for . —During the previous evening nothing was missed as having been stolen or taken awaybut a « ilver ws-tch ; but after the fire in the morning , it was discovered that some silk dresses and a loug boa were also gone . Tho police have since investigated the premises , and some suspicious marks have been discovered , which Buggests the supposition that some person had been concealed on the premises . Strange rumours are afloat , but beyond this nothing is oertainly known .

Mr . Sykes appeared in support of the charge , and Mr . Watnwnght attended on the prisoner ' s behalf . Prosecutor stated that about ten o ' clock on the sight of the 3 rd inst ., he had a scuffle with the prisoner near Thomas Wild ' s house ; they had quarrelled previously , and had had several Bcufflas ; thoy first quarrelled at Senior ' s publichouse .
