MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT , 13 , Tra f algar Street , Leeds . IT may be stated as a fact , that there is no disease which has demanded more , er reoeived less , attention from tbe Medical Profession generally , than Lues Venera . From this cause alone , it ia allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By tho application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of every hundred of these might he saved . But to attain this , it is necessary that a Medical Practitioner should devote bis time almost exclusively to the consideration of this most insidious and dangerous disease . It appears under bo many varied forms , and assumes so many different aspects , that nothing but coastant 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 etudies entirely to this particular branch , then he at once looses caste , and is branded bv his colleagues as a Quack . In defiance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ., Beg to state that they continue to apply all their knowledge and experience to the eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happiness which they have been the meins of restoring to thousands who would , in all probability , have otherwise sunk prematurely into the grave . This Establishinc-nt has now been open upwards of seven years , during which ptriod , thousands of cases have been treated , and iu no one instance has tho patient been disappointed of an eflartual , cure , in most jn 8 taaoe 3 , a few days have sufficed to eradicate the Disease ; but where ihe disorder nas been allowed to make sencas iaroa ^ 3 by delay or un . « -kilFul mauayementvmore time has necessarily been required to complete the cure . W . and Co ., know of no instance where any establishment devoted to the care of ihe same class of disease , has maintained so long a standingj which must be regarded as a conclusive proof of their integrity and ability . Long experience has enabled them to produce a remedy which rs applicable to almost every s ; age of the disease . Their PURIFYING DROPS Have been used in thousands of caprs , and with thp most signal success . Pcihays no Medici no was ever offered to the Public , which has been so efficacious in restoring tho dipojt ^ r-d to he ?] th and neonr They are powerful and speedily efficacious , in the mo ? t obstinate as well as Tec . ent oases . A Treatise of twelve pages is giron 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 ef 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 Three Shillings and Sixpence . Within the space of six months a very large aditioH of this valuable Work h » B 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 oruaiis , in both sexes , with a mild and successful mode of treatmtnt , in all their forms and consequences ; especially Gleet , Stricture , affections of the Bladder , Prostrate Glands , Gravel ,

The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , 8 uffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the hecesaity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration-The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd bidden 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 study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) % ttentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . ¦ ' ' If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or Bocial view , we find the interests and welfare oi mankind seriously involved . The efFects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practice ? , are described with an accaracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . " Tbe best of all friends is the Professional Friend aud in . no shape can he be ctnvraUed with greater safety and secrecy than in ' * Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into noioua 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 "Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; bow 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 ; howtheattenuationofthe frame , palpitationofthe heart , derangement ofthenervon 8 system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instoad 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 apon the merits of a ; medical work , this remark is open to exoeption in auy 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 ; ths world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular Btudy should bo devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treatB of subjects wo believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the metlical attendant , and vequinDg " doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of tbe eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book ia highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upoa unbridled sensualism . No human being caa be the 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 iwith tbo diseases of i he most delicate division of tha human organization . "—The Magnet . " The security of hafpiness in the mah . riage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but » any dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitneas 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 t » renovated health .

THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD Uj HEAD 1 AMD JUDGE FOB tODaSETVES J 1 THE following statement of factg has been com . municated to the Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS : — Messrs . T . Roberta and Co . Malton , Jan . 30 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —Though it is but a very short tim 9 since I last wrote for a supply of Parr ' s Life Pill 3 j find that owing to an astonishing increase in tha sale of them , I am again , compelled to request you to send me twenty dozen of the small , as also a supply of the large size . I should wish you to forward the © by railway to York , thence by carrier , as early as possible , as I am . afraid my present stock will be ex . hausted before they reach me . I enclose you the case of a persou who resides in Maltoa , and whose testimony may *»« relied upon as being strjctlj correct . This is but one case selected frcm an almoai incredible number of others , which have come tinder my notice , in which cures Jiave been effected by tha use ot Parr ' s Life Pills . Many highly respectable persons in this neighbourhood , who previous to % introduction '" of Parr ' s Life Pills had a decided dislfcg to Patent " Medicines , are now thankful that they are able to add their testimonials to the beneficial effects of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , th 9 quantity of pills as ordered above , you will oblige , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , J . WRANGHaM . Gentlemen , —When I consider the very gre ^ relief 1 have experienced from the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to yon but to every one who may be suffering from similar complaints with which I have- been afflicted , to make ay astonishing case a 3 pablic as possible . For along time past I have been great }/ troubled with a most severe nervous complaint , giddiness , and swimming in the head , which increased to sucn a degree tint at times I was compelled to leave off from my w 6 tk , being unable to bear the least fatigue , or excitement . At the suggestion of many of my friends , I was induced to try various medicines , but found thai my complaint instead of diminishing , was daily growiot worse . Having fortunately heard of the beneficial offects of Parr ' s Life Pills , I resolved to give them a fair trial , though I must confess with but little hopes of deriving ; benefit from them , after having tried w many other medicines without success ; I immediately purchased a small sized box of Mr , Wrong * ham , chemist , the only agent for the sale of them in Malton , and fortunate indeed has it been for me that I did so , for though 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 ara totally removed , and I am now able to attend regularly to my trade . Allowing you to make whatever use you 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 ma . To Mr . T . Roberts and Co ., Crane Court , Fleetstreet , London . A most extraordinary Case of Cure communicated , by Mrs . Moxon of York . Mrs .

Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking oftneresult , fihesays she cannot express the inconceivable advantage which Bhe haa already derived from them . She farther states that Bhe is now almost well , and ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign , medicine Parr ' s Life Pills . From Mr . R . Turner , Lswton . To Messrs . T . Roberts & Co ., Crane Court , Fleet * street , London . Lenton , near Nottingham , Dec . 12 , 1842 . Deat Sir . —I beg leave to tender you my wannest thanks for the great benefit which I have recieved from yonr valuable Farr ' s Lite Pills in ihe sure of a distressing species of fluttering , or palpitation of tha heart , which Iexperienced some years , and which haa now , by the use of three small boxes of your invaluable medicine , entiray Ten me ; aud in < wdj I atnr enjoy better health and spirits than I have done for some time . Hoping you will , for the benefit of the public at large , make my case known , I remain , Gentlemen , yours , very gratefully , RICHARD TURNER . N . B . —Any person who may not credit this statement may , by referring to me , obtain satisfactory answers to their enquiries . K . T . From F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon Jaffra , October 17 th , 1842 . Sir , —I beg to inform yon that having undertaken the small supply of the celebrated Parr ' s Life Pills , lately received Here from you by the Rer ; P . Pereival , 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 bands of the Rev . Mr . Porcival , who has kindly offered to be responsible to you for the same . I remain , your obedient ervant . F . MAITHEISZ . lease address me F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon . To Messrs . T .

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 mfl similar to my own case , and seeing it so successfully treated , simply by the use of Parr's Life PIIIb . J resolved upon giving Shat iu valuable medicine a fair trial . I had been afflicted with Rheumatism many years , and at the time to whioh I refer was suffering Acutely . 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 . B / 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 Pills , I could soarcely walk during the day-time ; and at night I could get no sleep .

was for the people , whose Interest was so deeply affected by this unlucky falling out of men who were od 66 fast friends , to good-naturedly coerce taem Into reconciliation—ihear ) . He ^ therefore Implored the great Wiy of Repealers who , thronged tbii Exchange rooms to icfl'jcnce their friends , and express their desire to Mr . OConnell , that an amalgamation of all Badical Reformers should take place . Their worthy president had informed them rightly that the Chaitlst colour is green ; under this livery of Dature , and chosen emblem of Erin , the woT ^ ng classes oi the two countries should unitedly war with the system which crushed them to the ear& ; and under that banner , with steadiness in the ranks and unanimity amongst their leaders , the people should and would succeed—( loud cheers ) .
L ? t it not be thought for an instant that in thus advocating conciliation , he ( Mr . D . ) for one moment abandoned hia conviction that nothing shert of the Charter fnlly acquired would ever do for tbe laborious classes . A Repeal ot the Union would give them , to be sure , tbe semblance of self-legislation ; bnt IU mbitance they -nwiid never have tin t&B people in ' reality elected the House of Commons—in a word , till they had Universal B&ffrige—ibear , hear ) . It was'bis misfortune to have been bom and fostered amidst Conservative predelictionsof tbe bitterest cast ; but nature having formed within him an enquiring mind , he read and reflected , and ultimately arrived at the conviction that it was a grievous , a diabolical system which had filched from the poor the birthright of freedomand thrown political
protection around wealth at-d rank alone ; and thinking bo he bad resolved to devote whatever bis bumble abilities or influence could effect to the cause of human liberty , civil and religious , hi the widest and most comprehensive sense —( cheers ) . It was his firm conviction that aristocracy—founded on the doctrine of the inevitable degradation of a great majority of mankind—was a practical blasphemy against the deity , who had given the poor generally finer physical forms , and not nnfreqneDtly superior intellectual powers than he bestowed on tbe rich—( hear ) , —and though not a member of the Bishop of Ardegb's ^ fcttrchi he would take the liberty of indorsing his Lardflbip ' B sentiment regarding aristocrats , for whom be entertained tbe heartiest contempt —( cheers ) . There could never be contentment for the masses or securityfor those called the " higher" classes , till the Earns of freeman ceased to be s distinctive appellatien . Rome bad to arm her slaves ; Greece did it onc- j to her own imminent peril ; and would tbe
Goj vernment of this country , if a foreign enemy were on its j coast , feelsecnre in arming the men wha were , through [ political disfranebisement , as veritably serfs and slaves as if they wore tbe badge and collar offeudalserritnde ? I the f nly distinction being , that in those barbarous days tbe slave was as well-fed as the hogs he tended , while in these enlightened times the bogs were fattened and the mechanical slave was lean , pale , and hungry—( hear and cheer *) . They knew their condition and its cause intimately—tbe monopoly of legislation by the " master class , * ' as Mr . O'Connell bad well called it —( bear and cheers ) . Mr . Syett continued to dwell at great length on the necessity of union at this crisis , on the friendly disposition of tbe working elsssesof England , asd coneluded by Baying that tbongb . b » had been as he considered most unfairly denonnoed hlauelf by Mt O'Conosii on religious grounds , be was yet willing to wave all personal considerations , and lend his humble assistance is bringing about a reconciliation . He concluded , amid loud cheers , by seconding tbe motion .
Mr . OlSnllivan said , tbongb be was not as yet a member of tbe Association , yet be hoped that he m'ght take the liberty of making a few observations . He , like many others , had been greatly misled respecting the character and principles of tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association . The impression which the speeches against them in the Dublin papers , had made upon ai » mind , was that the society was unlawful ; that it was campesed of a low gang of unprincipled men in the pay of the Tories—( hear , hear ) . Now it not only was azbame , but an act of gross fracd upon the subscribers and readers of any newspaper to misrepresent and eabironiate saeb men as those who had spoken there that day . Were honest men to be tradaced , vilified , and ran down in a Christian country like this , because they
demanded more political rights than others have either the ttm » whth »*« or the honesty to seek for ? He ( Mr . O"Sn ! iivan ) looked npon tha principles of the Association to be sound and jost , principles which weald be adopted and cherished by every honest man in Ireland if he knew them . What right has a press , which professes public liberty , to suppress the public proceedings of an Association like this ? He ( Mr . O Sullivan ) bad read in tbe columns of the Freeman ' * Journal , ike Register , and Pilot , that this Association was unlawful ; that its members were bound together by unlawful oaths ; that they bad secret signs and pass words . Have those papers made any atonement for these calamities ? Ha could ass&re tbe meeting that the people in bis
district , would much rather read an act of justice , snch as be ( Mr . O"Sallivan ) bad mentioned , than all tbe prosy , stupid balderdash called " lesdisg articles" in the Tnemcufi Journal during the last two years . He knew something of a little smattering of the classics—a little of the fashionable languages ; bad made some proficiency in sdenoe ; bat he could declare , before that meeting , that it was with great difficulty be could at any time discover what tbe articles in the Freeman were about . He bad beard more sound politle&l principle esasciated that day thin be bad read in the Dublin papers for yean—( bear , hear ) . He hoped that ihe admirable xeaotatkm wbicb was so ably Introduced , and so eloquently supported by its seconder , would be passed by acclamation .
Mr . Thomas Daun—I oppose the motion—( hear , hear , " Are you a member ? " ) No ; but I oppose the motion . I have my Bepeal card , and wecan get Bepeal without tbe assistance of England . What do we care for England ? Mr . O'Connell said , on tke 23 rd of October , that we would have Repeal in six months , that is , that tbe Parliament would be sitting in College Green on tbe 22 nd day of April , 1844 , or he would suffer his head to be cut c-ff—( bear , hear ) . Now , what more do ye want ? Haven't we his word for it thasnt be pledged himself to it , provided we &t % all peaceable . I move an amendment—that the motion be rejected . It 1 b & motion against tbe character of our Liberator ; a cheer for him—( great cheering ) . Tfce Chairman—The B Tnt-p ^ Tnpnf . is not seconded . A Toice—I second it .
Mr . Woodward—I had hoped that the advise of Mr . O'SuTiivaa would frwe been taken , and that tbe motion would have passe d -without a skigle dissentient . He could not Bee what was in the motion against Mr . ConnalL Mr . O'Brien supported tbe motien . Mr . Doyle—1 am not a member . I cannot join you , though my heart is with you ; but I recommend the mover of tbe amendment to withdraw it lor bis own sake , before the debate is closed by the reply . // he knevcas muck at I do he would lake my advict . Tbe Chairman having asked if any other person wished to speak , and having been answered in the negative ,
Mr . O'Hkgins rose to reply—He said that he had no arguments to reply jo . He regretted that any amendment had been proposed . The obvious meaning of the amendment was , " that there shall be no 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 . Dunn—I withdraw the amendment . Let the resolution be carried unanimously . I am bnt a young speaker , Z did not see bow fax wrong I was —( hear , bear ) . Mr . O'Higgins—Then there is no necessity for any farther observations . He should leave the resolution in the hands of the meeting . The resolution was then put and carried with three hearty cheers , and one cheer more . After which three cheers were given for the Irish Universal Suffrage Asso ciation , three for Mr . O'Connell and three for Mr . O'Connor .
Wben the immense mass of people got together in the street , some one proposed a cheer for the Charter and Bepeal , which was loudly responded to . Thus terminated ths largest and most important meeting that has been held since the formation of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . The Diet m MaRtlebone Wobkhchjse . —We hare lately been favoured with screraJ no very savoury scraps ofm ^ at which had been offered to the poor in onr workaouBeB , by tae Gaai < ii&uB , uikJoi tbe authority of the Commissioners at Somerset House , as a means to satisfy the cravings of tteir hungry stomachs . Small is quantity , G « d knowa , was eack man ' s dinner : and worse or as bad in

Let us come to facts . A few days ago ,
tbe Marylebone Ytstry assembled for ihe purpose of considering a petition , and » very reasonable one , of the workers in their Htone yardB for an increase in the portion of bread ! They did not ask for meat , or cheese , ct bier ; they merely asked for a little mor * bread ! They alleged , but did not even remenBtrate , that their porridge was miserably thin . What the effect of diluted oatmeal has npoa panpers , let the mortality ef the Bridgwater Union say . These petitioners asked at tbe hands ef the meat opalent district in Europe , whose rental is the in ? come of almost a Monarchy , that their ration should be
iscreased to that of the worst felon 9 iu the jails , or rather to something below it . They Btated that ten ounces of bread per day ia so very little-for men wr-o are employed at hard labour , that thsir hunger compels tbem to consume it at one meal .

Can we wonder , after this , if di&aifcotion prevailsthat the standing army is . not large enough for the demands npon it—that insurrection breaks out in Wales—that discontent and danger abound everywhere—when this increasing army of destitution meets us at every tnrn , unemployed but orating for ihe boon of labour , and at length it finds employment , bnfc on a ration bo meagre that life is scarcely maintained by it , and this by the decree and with
the sanction of the largest parish of the Metropolis ? There is Ecarcely a workhouse in the Metropolis , in which the poor are so well fed as the feloas confined in Newgate or the Compter . In both these places , sufficient food is allowed to satisfy the wants of Ihe inniat&s i and moreover , it is clean and wholesome , and not dished up ltke so much carrion , as we observe it in onr workhouse jails . We have always maintained the rights of the poor to a sufficiency of good and wholesome diet . Every man who falls into decayed circumstances , is justly entitled to an asylum and relief . All hia life he has been paying to a joint stock fund , and he ought
not to be ashamed to cross the threshold of a workhouse when poverty overtakes him . In the purchase of a penny loaf , an individual clearly contributes to this fund , seeing that , if the baker had no cesses to pay he would be enabled to sell his bread cheaper . In faot the public , by a thousand ways , is continually adding to the stock ; and men ought not to be beneath demanding support if they become destitute ; nor ought they , on account of poverty , wbioh is now considered more in the light of a crime than a misfortune , to be fed upon caarae innatritious food , as we find they are in the workhouses , or receive aa insufficiency of it . — WeeTc ' y Dispatch .

DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS . Loss of Eoub Vessels . —L \ ois >' s , Nov . 11 . —We regret to Btate that tbe accounts received yesterday from the Cape ofQood Hopa contain the most sad intelligence of a dreadful storm having occurred on the night of tbe 28 th of August , in and off tbe oast of Algoa Bay , by whisk four valuable ships , estimated at between £ 30 , 000 and £ 40 , 000 , were lost , as also several lives . Loss OP thr EiiZABKTH R © wbli ~—This veBsel was a very fine barque , the property of the Hull
Shipping Company . She was almost a new ship , having only been built in the year 183 fr at Snnderland , and was three hundred and twenty tons measurement It appears from tbe information received , t&at one managed to weather the storm for several boars , but early on the following morning she was driven ashore in Algoa Bay by the violence of the hurricane , and in less than twenty four hours she went to pieces , he * commander , Captain Wake , and bis erew , having saved themselves by means of the long boat . Her cargo was rather a valuable one , of a miscellaneous cnaraoter .
LOSS OF THE SEAOUM . —SlXTKIH LIVES LOST . — This deplorable event occurred about midnight , when the storm was at its height . She -was seen to make for tbe Bay , aud ultimately got in , where she suddenly foundered . Apparently the crew feared the catastrophe and were in the act of lowering the boats when the ship went down , and every soul on board perhbed , including the captain , Mr . Mubay . The Seagull was also a barque of 239 tons burthen , and was launched at Montrose in the year 1841 . It is supposed she was insured . We are informed , and regret to state tbe fact , that ten widows and twenty-four children axe left completely destitute by this shocking calamity .
Loss OP the Delhi . —Thia ship was 276 tons boribeo , bnllt at Shoreham in 1838 . Her low happened within a few miles of tbe spot where that of tae Elisibeth Rowell took place , through being driven ashore , whon she Boon went to piece ? . The crew providentially were saved by the aid of the ill-fated vessel's boats , tibe was the property of tbe commander , Mr . Byron , who it is believed insured her . LOSS OF TUB LA USA . —Thia unfortunate vessel was lost , with the whole of her hands , ia Algoa Bay , daring the ragisg of the hurricane . She went ashore on a hard , sandy soU , the sea running completely over her , and dashing her with great violence on tbe beach ,
where , In a few hours , sho went to pieces , the poor fellows perishing with her . She belonged to her illfated commander , Mr . Crockley , and was 184 tons burthen , of tbe port of Cheater , where she was built In the year 1824 . None of the bodies of the unfortunate crews had np to a late date been washed ashore . The accounts conclude by stating , that the shipping suffered severely along the qqm % from the violence of tbe storm , and it was sadly feared that many otner vessels were lost during its existence , bnt as the intelligence was despatched on the day after , there had not been time to collect the most authentic particulars . :
