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 Venerq . From this cause alone , if is allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By the application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of every hundred of these might be saved . But to attaia this , it is necessary that a Medical Practitioner should devote his time almost exclusively to tbe consideration , of this most insidious and dangerous disease . It appears under so many varied forms , and assumes so many different aspects , that nothing but coBBtant 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 iB 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 the eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happineBB 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 eases 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 inroads by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily been 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 m thousands of eages , and with the most signal success . Perhaps no Medicine was ever offered to the Public , which has been so efficacious in restoring the diseased to health and vigosr They are powerful and speedily efficacious , in the most obstinate aa 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 » f 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 Post-office Order , for Tkroe Shillings and Sixpenee . Within the space of six months a very large editioa of this valuable Work has been disposed of , which will be a sufficient test of its importance . It is a Practical Treatise on the Preventioti and Cure of the Venereal Disease , and other affections of the urinary and sexual organs , in both sexes , with a mild and successful mode of treatment , in all their forms and densequences j especially G ) eet , Stricture , affections of the Bladder , Prostrate Glands , Gravel ,

Is a gentlestimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of 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 pewer , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford 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 tbe 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 sedacive error , — into a gradual but : total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights whioh nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature deoripiiude , and all the habitudes of old age . Constitutional weakness , sexual ' debility , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , total impotency and barrenness are effectually removed by this invaluable medicine .

THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD !!! BEAD 1 * ND JUDGE VOV . YOUBSKLYHB I ! rpHE following statement of facts has been com-JL municated to the Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS : — Messrs . T . Roberts and Co . Matton , Jan , 30 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —Though it is but a very short tima since I last wrote for a supply of Parr ' s Life Pills , I find that owing to an astonishing increase in the sale of them , I am again compelled to request you to send me twenty dozen of the . small , aa also a supply of the large siz 9 . I should wish you to forward them by railway to York , thence by carrier , as early aa possible , as I am afraid my present stock will be exhausted before they reach me . I enclose you the case of a person who resides in Malton , and whose testimony may be relied upon as being ; strictly correct . This is but one case selected from an almost incredible number of others , which have come under my notice , in whioh cures have been effected by the OaeOf Patt ' a Life Pills . Many higbJ r respectable persons in this neighbourhood , who previous to the introduction of Parr ' s Life Pills had a decided dislike to Patent Medicines , are now thankful that they are able to add their testimonials to the beneficial effeats of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , the quantity of pills as ordered above , you will oblige , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , J . WRANGHAM . Gentlemen , —When I consider the very great relief 1 have experienced from the use of Parrs Life Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to you bnt to every one who may be suffering from similar complaints with which I have been afflicted , to make my astonishing case as public as possible . For a long time past I have been greatly troubled with a most severe nervous complaint , giddiness , and swimming in the head , which increased to Bucb . a degree that at times I was compelled to leave off from my work , being unable to bear the least fatigue or excitement . At the suggestion of many of mj friends , I was induced to try various medicines , but found that my complaint instead of diminishing , was daily growing worse . Having fortunately heard of the beneficial offsets of Parr ' s Life Pills , I resolved to give thema fair trial , though I muat confess with but little hopes of deriving benefit from them , after having tried s * many other medicines without success ; I immediately purchased a small sized box of Mr . Wrangham , chemist , the only agent for the sale of them in , Maltoa , and fortunate indeed has it been for me thai I did so , for thongh I have just finished taking this one box , I find myself so far relieved that instead of daily , nay hourly , suffering from that dreadful complaint , nervousness , with its attendant miseries , I am restored to my former good health ; my nerves are strong—the giddiness and swimming in my head are totally removed , and I am now able to attend regularly to my trade . Allowing you to make whatever use yon may think proper of this statement and being truly grateful for the benefit I have obtained from taking Parr ' s Life Pills . I am , Gentlemen , your obedient Servant } THOMAS PATTISON , Painter . N . B . I shall be glad to answer any enquiries respecting the good the pills have done me . To Mr . T . Roberts and Co ., Crane Court , Fleetstreet , London . A most extraordinary Case of Cure communicated , by Mrs . Moxon of York . Mrs . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate dise ase , which her medioal attendants propounoed 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 , g peaking ofthe result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable advantage which she haa already derived from them . She farther states that ehe is now almost well , and ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign medioine Parr ' s Life Pills . From Mr . R . Turner , Lewton . To Messrs . T . Roberts & Co ., Crane Court , Fleetstreet , London . Lenton , near Nottingham , Dec . 12 , 1842 . Dear Sir . —I beg leave to tender you my warmest thanks for the great benefit which I have recieved from your valuable Parr ' s Life Pills in the cure of a distressing species of fluttering , or palpitation of the heart , which I experienced some years , and which has now , by the use of three small boxes of your invaluable medicine , entirely left me ; and indeed , I now enjoy better health and spirits than I have done for Borne time . Hoping yon will , for the benefit of the public at large , make my case known , I remain , Gentlemen , yours , very gratefully , RIGHARD TURNER . N . B . —Any person who may not credit this statement may , by referring to me , obtain satisfactory answers to their enquiries . R . T . From F . Mattheisz , Jaffira , Ceylon Jaffra , Ootober 17 th , 1842 . Sir , —I beg to inform you that having undertaken the small supply of the celebrated Parr's Life Pills , lately received Bere from you by the Rev . P . Percival , they have met with a very rapid sale , and the constantly increasing demand from every part of the province ensures to a very large extent success to the dealer , and good to the people at large- . May I therefore take the liberty of requesting you will be good enough to send me 1000 boxes by the very first opportunity , making , if you please , the usual discount to purchasers of such large quantities . I beg to remark that the value of the above will be given by me into the hands Of the Rev , Mr . Peroival , who has kindly offered to be responsible to you for the same . I remain , your obedient ervanfc . F . MATTHEISZ . lease address me F . Mattheiez , Jaffra , Ceylon . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of Pan ' s Life Pills , Crane-Court , Fleet-street . Communicated by Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . . East Stratton , near Winchester , Dec . 13 th , 1842 . Sir , —You will remember I sent to your shop for a bottle of medicine round which was ' a paper containing testimonials of cures effected by the use of Parr's Life Pills . Amongst many others I observed one ; a case of Rheumatism , which appeared to me similar to my own case , and seeing it so successfully treated , simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . I resolved upon giving that invaluable medicine a fair trial . I had been afflicted with Rheumatism many years , and at the time to whioh I refer was suffering < tcutely . I determined , as I have said , on giving Old Parr ' s remedy a fair trial ; and accordingly sent for a box of the Life Pills . By the use of these pills I am enabled to say that I am now as Well as ever I have been during the whole of my life . Thank God , I can now walk as well as ever I did . At the time when I first tried Parr ' s Life PilIs » I could scarcely walk during the day-time ; and at night I could get ao sleep . lam now enjoying excellent health , and sleep soundly , and I am free from pain of every kind . I am . Sir , yours , &c . JAMES DANIELLS . ( aged £ 0 yeaM . ) Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . Parr ' s Life Pills are acknowledged to be all that is required to conquer disease and prolong life . No medioine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity ; it is questionable if there now be any part ofthe civilized world where ite extraordinary healing virtues have not beeu exhibited . This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , bui solely *• the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . At this dement the Proprietors are in possession of nearly 560 letters from influential , respectable , and intelligent members of society , all bearing testimony to the great and surprising benefits resoltin * from , the « . seof the medicine . This is a mass of evidence fn its favour such as ao other medicine ever yetealled forth , and places it in the proud distinet tion of being net only the most popular but the most valuable remedy ever discovered . CAUTION—BEWASE OJ IMITATIONS . In order to protect the public from imitations , the Hon . Commissioners of Stamps have ordered the words Pake ' s Life Pixts to be engraved on the Government Stamp , which is pasted round the Bides of each box , in whits letters ori a red ground / Without this mark of authenticity they arespunpus and an imposition !

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness tnoapacity , 6 uffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upou principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity tor the publication of a timely safeguard , ft silent yet 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 FamiUeB , 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 study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments ofthe profession ) attentively concentrated in tho 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 of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an acoaracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—TAc Planet . ** The best of all friends ia the Professional Friexv and in no shape can he be consulted with greater Bafety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , 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 p hysical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , 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 physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; howtheattenuafeionofthe frame , palpitationoftho hearfc , derattgement 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 su alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell ' s Neiv Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion apon 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 medioal works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which , the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded Us 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 ofthe eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this bock is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwriften , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering sonsequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be tho worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beaeon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with tho diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . " — The Magnet . "The security of happiness in the makriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfHness for the discharge Of matrimonial obligations .

except an abandonment of principle , at the disposal of tha Irish "OniverEal Suffrage Association , to tffect a lincere sad hearty reconciliation "between two great « nd powerful men : the ope at the head of , and the powerful leader of a great nation , the acknowledged leader of the great m-yority of the Irish people ; the other chosen to represent and advocate the political creed of Tbkke Mnxioss , Pits Htjsdb . ri > Thou-SlSD .

Well , bow does it happen , then , thai when . Mr .

O'Connor ' s money wai ordered to be returned to him , and that he "Would not be allowed to epeak in favour of Repeal at a meeting of Irish Bepealers In isndon ?—( hear , hear ) ? Who was to blame for that ? TFe do not wish to bring forward these matters cow . Oar object is cong ? tfr » 5 np but bo compromise of principle . —no Whiggery—no Toryism—but a cordial union of the plundered , bard-working , honest , people of Great Britain
sad Ireland . Our oppressors are united ; why then should we sot unite morally , legally , and constitutionally for the attainment of these just rights which were Inaely-a&d perfidiously . niched from us—( hear , hrar ) . The Secretary would read the rules and objects of tbe Association . It would be seen by the rules that none but members could Uke a part is tbe debate , or rather proceedings ; but is the present case that rule would be relaxed so as to allow every one , who wished it , to speak , ' or move an amendment to the motion ; in short * et zsif they were members—( bear , hear ) . He was sure that he should have but little trouble in preserving order in the meeting . Every ose should have a fair VnMtrfrng The * fr |* 'TTi « w resumed h' * seat amidst loud pplause .
Mr . Dyofct having read the rules and objects of the Association , asd letten from Norwich , Lee d * , Brightao , Iffodon , Dzmgaxmon , 2 f « wiy , Belfast , Armagh , BaHyxhannon and Sligo , proceeded to read the order of i&B day , y » 3 for ^ g ) * tl )* fjanfmmTi called upon Mr . O'Higgins to proceed with , the motion of which he had given notice on the previous Saturday , 3 fe Q'Higgira row , and was received with loud cheezs . He addressed the meeting for nearly an hour and a half , and vras listened to in breathless silence He explained the views and feslingi of tbe English "Bagical Reformers from 1783 down to tie present period ; and proved , to the satisfaction of every y » fir »^ ft i nan at the meeting , that the British Badieals "Were the consistent friends of civil and religious liberty
all over the world—that tbe document known as the People ' s Chastee . was merely an . embodiment cf the principles of the old Badieal Bsfonners . He ' very forcibly reminded bis audience of the triumphant and glorious reception which the Radicals of England and Soottsnd gave to Mr OVonneU in 1834 , when be was persecuted by tbe Whigs . He satisfied every one of the gross injustice of aiizibntiDg to the Cimrtists of England the crimes of their&ndour opnrtssou . He shewed jjat the Chaztuta of Great Britain were as nmeh opposed to tbe unconstitutional suppression of the public meeting at Clontarf as Mr . O'Connell himself could be . He maintained that tbe Government bad no right to atop tbe meeting . It would be seen , soon after the meeting of Parliament , that notwithstanding all tbe
abase and vituperation which have been heaped upon the devoted heads of tbe English Chartists that they would to a man resent this flagitious : attempt to crush public opinion in Ireland by military despotism—( hear ;—and as they did in 1834 , when they helped Mi . 0 "Gonnell to obtain a triumph over his "Whig persecutors , they ¦ would come forward sow to the aid of Ireland and help her to punish the Minister of tbe Crown who ordered de suppression of tbe Clontarf meeting by military force . He then , at great length , and with his usual clearness , explained the advantages which both countries would derive from a cordial union between the Chartists and tbe O'Connellite Repealers . He was obliged to make this distinction between the . Repealers , as all Chartists are Bepealers , whereas the O'ConseUite
Sepealarsare ^ not Charfijto ; they profess to be Whatever Mz . O'Connell wishes them to be —( bear , bear , "that ' s iras" ) . The offer therefore for conciliation should come from Mr , O'Connell . Jir . O'Connor made file first step towards conciliation by paying bis subscription to ths Bepeal Pond . The money and the aid ¦ which bs cfered-were both rejected ; and for what ? because Mr . O'Connor is a . Cbartist as well as a Repealer . Tbe onus is surer ; thrown upon Mr . O'Connell to show "Why , as aBepealer , be rejects the aid of half the male population of Great Britain in favour of his own darling project . If hB thinks be can get it -without tha consent or aid of England , it is natsral enough that be should like to bave all the merit asd all the gloryto himself ; but it is not becoming in him as a Christian to keep up and perpetuate enmity and hatred between himself
and Sir . O'Connor . We here are desirous to see peace and good will-established on a firm footing between the people of Great Britain and Ireland , which can bs achieved in Hie « rorse of a few days , by Mr . O'C-rantll inviting Mz . O'Connor to a friendly discussion of their respective views , in tbe Conciliation HaiL If both parties were united for one common object neither Whig nor Tory , nor both together , could withbold the just rights of the people . Let . every lover of peace and good "wiD amongst men en earth sot only vote , for this conciliatory motion , but make np bis mind to use every effort in bis power to carry it into efieet Was there a man amongst them who would sot like to see Mr .

Be therefore Implored tbe great body of Repealers who , thronged tbe Exchange rooms to influence their friends , and express their desire to Mr .

Let it not be thought for an instant that in thus advocating conciliation , he ( Mr . T £ ) for ose moment abandoned his conviction that nothing sliert of the Charter fully acquired would ever do for the laborious classes . A Bepeal of tbe "Union would give them , to be sure , the semblance of self-legislation ; but its substance they -would never bave till tbe people in reality elected the House of Commons—in a word , till they bad Uni-Tenal Suffrage—( bear , hear } .

They knew their condition and its cauBe intimately—the monopoly of legislation by the ' master class , " as Mr . O'Connell bad well called It —( hear and cheers ) . Mr . Dyott continued to dwell at great length on tbe necessity of union at this crisis , on tbe friendly disposition of the working clssses of England , and concluded by saying that thoagh be bad been as he considered most unfairly denounced himself by Mr . O'Counell on religions grounds , he was yet willing to wave- all personal coriBider&tiQM , and lend bit bumble assistance in bringing iberat a reconciliation . He concluded , amid lond cheers , by seconding the motion .
Mr . O'Sullivan said , though be was oot as yet a member of tbe Associat ion , yet be hoped that be might take the liberty of making a few observations . He , l ike many others , bad been greatly misled respecting the character and principles of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . The impression which the speeches against them in the Dublin papers , bad made upon bis mind , was that the society was unlawful ; that It was composed of a low gang of unprincipled men in the pay of the Tories—( hear , hear ; . Now it not only was a shame , but an act of gross fraud upon the subscribers and readers of any newspaper to misrepresent and calumniate sflch men as those who bad spoken there Out day . Were honest man to be traduced , vilified , and run down In a Christian country like this , because they
demanded more political rights than others have either the manliness or tbe honesty to seek for ? He ( Mr . O'Sullivan ) looked upon tbe principles of the Association to be sound asd just , principles which weald be adopted asd cherished bj every honest man in Ireland if be knew them . What right has a preu , which professes public liberty , to suppress tbe public proceedings of an Association like this ? Be iMr . O'Sullivan ) bad read in tbe columns of tbe Freeman ' s Journal , the Register , and Pilot , that this Association was unlawful ; that Its members were bound together by unlawful oaths ; tfeat they had secret signs and pass words . Have those papers made any atonement for these calumnies ? He could assure tbe meeting that the people in bis
district , would much rather read an act of justice , such as be ( Mr . O'Sullivan ) bad mentioned , than nil the prosy , stupid balderdash called " leading articles" in tbe freeman ' s Journal during the last two years . He knew something of a little smattering of the classics—1 little of the fashionable languages ; bad made some proficiency In science ; bnt be could declare , before Vhat meeting , that it was with great difficulty be could at any time discover what the articles in the Freeman were about He bad beard more sound political principle enunciated that day than he bad read in tbe Dublin papers for years —{ bear , hear ) . He hoped Vh % \ tfe « lulmlrxblB roolnfefon -wbicti Was OO ably Introdaced , and so eloquently supported by ita seconder , would be passed by acclamation .
Mr . Thomas Bonn—I oppose tbe motion—( bear bear , Are you a member ? " ) No ; but I oppose the motion . I have my Bepeal card , and we can get Repeal without the assistance of England . What do we care for England ? Mr . O'Connell s ^ id , on the S 3 rd of October , that we would have Bepeal in six months , that is , that the Parliament would be sitting is College Green on tbe 22 nd day of April , 1844 , or he would suffer his head to be cut off—( hear , bear ) . Now , what more do ye want ? Havent we bis word for it ?—hasn't he pledged himself to It , provided we are all peaceable . I move an amendment—that tbe motion be rejected . It is a motion against tbe character of our Liberator ; a cheer for him—( great cheering ) . Tbe Chairman—Tbe amendment is not seconded . A Voice—I second it
Mr . Woodward—I bad hoped that the advise of Mr . O'SulliTan would nave been taken , and that tbe motion would have p&SseA wltbont » « ingle dissentient . He could sot see what was in the motion against Mr . ConnelL Mr . O'Brien supported the motion . Mr . Dayle—I am not a member . I cannot join you , though my beart is with yon ; but I recommend the mover of the amendment to withdraw it for his own sake , before the debate is closed by tbe reply . If he knew as much as I do he uxndd lake my advice . The Chairman having asked if any other person wished to speak , asd having been answered in the segative ,
Mr . O'Higgiss rose to reply—He said that be bad so arguments to reply io- He regretted that any amendment had been proposed . The obvious meaning of the amendment was , " that there shall be so conciliation ; that discord must reign amongst us . " The amendment reminded him of the conduct of a certain black gentleman who envied the happy state of paradise . Mr . Donn—I -withdraw the amendment . Let the resolution be carried unanimously . I am but & young speaker , I did sot see bow far wrong I was —( bear , hear ) . Mr . O'Higgins—Then there is no necessity for any further obstrrations . He should leave tbe reselutios in the hands of Vbs meeting . The resolution was then pnt and carried with three hearty cheers , and one cheer more . After which three cheers were given for the Irian Universal Suffrage Asso ciation , three for Mr . O'Connell aad three tor Mr . O'Connor .
When the immense mass of people got together in the street , some one proposed a cheer for the Charter and Repeal , which was loudly responded to . Thus terminated the largest and most important meeting that has been beld since tbe formation of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association .

DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS . Loss of FoqK Vessels . —Lloyd ' s , Nov . 11 . —We regret to state that the accounts received yesterday from the Cape of Good Hope contain the most sad intelligence of a dreadful storm having occurred on the sight of the 26 th of August , in and off the oast of Algoa Bay , by whieh four valuable ships , estimated at between £ 30 , 090 and £ 40 , 000 , were lost , as also several lives . Loss of THB Elizabbih RoWELL . —This -vessel was a very fine barque , the property of the Hull
Shipping Company . She was almost a new ship , having only bees built in tbe year 1839 at Sonderland , and was three hundred and twenty tons measurement It appears from tbe information received , that she managed to weather the storm for several hours , but early on the following morning she was driven ashore in Algoa Bay by the violenee of the hurricane , and in less than twenty four hours the went to pieces , her commander , Captain Wake , and his crew , having saved themselves by means of the long boat . Her cargo was rather a valuable one , of a miscellaneous character .
Loss of the Seagull—Sixteen Lives Lost — This deplorable event occurred about midnight , when the storm was at its height She was seen to make for the Bay , and ultimately got in , where she suddenly foundered . Apparently the crew feared the catastrophe and were in the act of lowering tbe boats when the ship went down , and every soul on board perished , including the captain , Mr . Muhay . The Seagull was also a barque of 2 S 9 tons burthen , and was launched at Montrose in the year 1841 . It is supposed she was insured . We are informed , and regret to state the fact , that ten widows and twenty-four children are left completely destitute by this shocking calamity .
Loss of the Delhi . —Tbis ship was 276 tons burthen , built at Saoreoam in 1838 . Her loss happened -within a few miles of tbe spot woere that of tbe Elisabeth Rowell took place , through betag driven ashore , when she soon west to pieces . Tbe crew pro * videntially were saved by the aid of the ill-fated vessel's boats . She was the property of the commander , Mr . Byron , who it is believed insured her . Loss OF the LaVE * . — This unfortunate vessel was lost , with the wholo of her hands , in Algoa Bay , during the raging of the hurricane . She went ashore on a bard , Bandy soil , the sea running completely over her ,
and dashing her with great violence on the beach , where , in a few bouts , she went to pieces , the poor fellows perishing with her . She belonged to her illfated commander , Mr . Crockley , and was 184 tons burthen , of the port of Chester , where she was built in the year 1624 . None of the bodies of the unfortnn&te crews had up to a l&te date been washed ashore . The accounts conclude by stating , that the shipping suffered severely along the coast from the violence of the storm , and it was Badly feared that many other vessels were lost daring its existence , but as tbe intettigenca wai detpatthed on the day after , theic had not been time to collect the most authentic particulars .
