      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 Venera . From this cause alone , it is allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By the application of proper remedies , ninotj-nine out of every hundred of these might be saved . But to attails this , it is necessary that a Medical Practitioner should devote bi . ? time almost exclusively to the oonsideration 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 I Profession , and devotes his studies entirely to this particular branch , then he at once looses "aste , and is branded bv his colleagues as a Quack . In defiance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ., Beg to etate that they continne to apply all their knowledge and experience to tho eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense iu the happiness which they have been the means of restoring to thousands who would , in all probability , h&ve otherwise sunk prematurely into the grave . This Establishment has now been open upwards of seven years , during woich period , thousands of cases have been treated , and in no one instance has the patient been disappoiuted of an effectual cure . In most instances , a tew days have sufficed to eradicate the Disease ; but where the disorder has been allowed to make serions inroads by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily been required to complete tbe 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 expcrieEce has enabled them to produce a remedy which is applicable to almost every siage ot the disease . Their PURIFYING DROPS Have been used in thousands of cases , and with tht most signal snecefa . Perhaps no . Medicine was ever oifered to the iriiblic , which has been so efficacious in restoring the diseahtd to he ? lth aud vigoar They are powerful and Epeedily efficacious , in the most obstinate as well as recent cases . A Treatise of twelve pages is given with them , explaining the Tarioos aspects of the Disease ; and the directions are so full and explicit , that persons of either box 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 Tfcree Shillings and Sixpence . Within ihe space of six months a very large edition of this valuable Work haa btsea disposed of , which will be a sufficient test of its importance . It is a Practical Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of the Yenereal Disease , and oiler affections of tho urinary and sexual organy , in both sexes , with a mild and successful mode of treatment , in all their forms and consequences ; especially Gleet , Stricture , affections of the Bladder , Prostrate Gland ? , Gravel ,

Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , whera debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and' the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family phyaieian , bnt they reauire for their safe management the exclusive study of a lifo entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily aud 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 aoc « raoy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . "The best of all friendB ia tho Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigouk . " 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 " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , cast 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 aredeceivedby the outward physical appearance of . their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitationofthe heart , derangement ofthenervoas system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for tlie expression of opinion Hpon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where tbe public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering flousequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human beini ; can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a wentold 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 con- ' vursani with tbe diseases ot ' the moat delicate divi- j sion of the human organization . "— The Magnet . j " Tho security of happiness in the marriage > state is tho chief anxiety of all ; but many dread j entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of niilfUnesa for the discharge of matrimonial obliga- ) tions .

      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 bat one case selected from an almost incredible number of others , which hare come under my notice , in which cures have been effected by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Many highly respectable persons in tais 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 effeets of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , tha 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 Parr ' s Life Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to you but to every one who may be Buffering from similar complaints with which I have been afflicted , to make my astonishing case as public as possible . For along time past I have been greatly troubled with ^ a most severe nervous complaint , giddiness , and swimming in the head , which increased to such 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 my 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 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 hsving ^ ried ae many other medicines without success ; I immediately purchased a email sized box of Mr . Wrangbam , chemist , the only agent for the sale of them , in , Malton , and fortunate indeed haB it been for me that I did so , for though I have just finished taking thia 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 j 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 you may chink 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 . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate dise ase , which her medical attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical ekiU . Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable advantage which she haa already derived from them . She further states that she 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 , Lewton .

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 tho value of the above will be given by me into the bands ofthe Rev . Mr . PeroivaJ , who has kindly offered to be responsible to you for the same . I remain , your obedient ervant . F . MATTHEISZ . lease address me F . Mattheisz , Jaffra , Ceylon . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills , Crane-Court , Fleet-street . Communicated by Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . East Stratton , near Winchester , Dee . 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 ' 8 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 acutely . I determined , as I have said , on giving Old Parr ' s remed y 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 Godv I can now walk as well as ever I did . At the time When I first tried Parr ' s Life Pills , 1 could scarcely walk during the day-time ; and at night I could get no sleep . I am 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 years . ) Mr . H . Foster , Chemist , Winchester . Parr ' s Life Pills are acknowledged to be all that is required to conquer disease and prolong life . No medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity ; it is questionable if there now be any part of the civilized world where ite extraordinary healing virtues have not beeu exhibited . This signal sueoess is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely t » the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . At this memenfc the Proprietors are in possession of searly 530 letters from influential , respectable , and intelligent members of society , all bearing testimony to the great and surprising benefits resultiaS from the » se of the medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour sach as bo other medicine ever yet called forth , and places it in the proud distinct tion of being not only the most popular but the nws > valuable remedy ever discovered .

      achieved by keeping up envy , hatred , and ill will between those who songht to achieve the same ends , although , by different means . The immediate object of fee present meeting was to endeavour , by all the means , except an abandonment of principle , at the disposal of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , to effect a sincere and hearty reconciliation between two great and powerful men : the one at the head of , and the powerful leader of a great nation , the acknowledged leader of the great mijority of the Irish people ; the other chosen to represent and advocate the political creed of Tbb . be Miluoss , Five Bijkdbed

      lax * O'Higgins rose , and was received with loudi f&eers . He addressed the meeting for nearly an hour ; and a half , and iras listened to in breathless silence , j He explained the views and feelings of the English > Badlcal Reformers from 17 S 2 down to the present ] period ; sad proved , to the satisfaction of every ! Stiooal man at the meeting , that the British Radicals , Vere the consistent Mends of crvil and religious liberty ¦ SB over the world—that the document known as the ; Peoples Chastee . was merely an embodiment cf the ¦ principles of the old Radical Bsfoimeia . He very forcibly reminded his audience of the triumphant and glorious reception which the Radicals of England and Scotland gave to Mr O'GoxzneR in 2 S 34 , -when he was , persecuted by the 'Whigs . He satisfied every oae of the :

      gross iDjostice of atmeuUrg to the Ciartuts of England the crimes of their and our oppressors , fie shewed i that the Chartists of Great Britain were as much i opposed to the unconstitutional suppression of the pub- > 2 k meeting at dontarf as Mr . O'Conntll himself could be . He maintained that the Government had no right : to stop ihe meeting . It would be seen , soon after thei sieeting of Parliament , that notwithstanding all thei abuse and vituperation which have been heaped upon the j devoted heads of the English Chartists that they would to a man resent this flagitious attempt to crush public opinion is Ireland by -military despotism—( hear , —and as they did in 1834 , when they helped Mr . O'Connell to obtain a triumph over his Whig persecutors , they » ould come forward now to the aid of Ireland and help

      isr to punish the Minister of the Crown * who ordered the-suppressiun of the 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 the O'Connellite Bepealep . He was obliged to make ibis distinction between the Repealers , as all Chartists are Repealers , whereas the O'Connellite Bepealers are not Chartists ; they profess to be whatever Mr . O'Connell wishes them to he—jbear , hear , ** th&Ps true" ) . The offer therefore for conciliation should come from Mr . O'Connell . Mr . O'Connor made the first step towards conciliation by paying his subscription to th « Repeal Pond . The money and the aid ¦ which ha cff = redwere both rejected "; and for what ?

      because Mr . O'Connor is aChartis : as well as * Repealer . 5 he cnua is surely thrown upon Mr . O'Connell to show "why , as a Repealer , be rejects the aid of half the male population of Great Britain in favour of his own darling project . If he thinks ie can get it without thj consent or aid e ! England , it is natural enough that he should like to have all the merit and all thegloryfco himself ; bat it is not becoming in him as a Christian to keep up and perpetuate enmity and hatred between himself and Mr . O'Connor . We here are desirous to" see peace and good will established on a tan footing between the people of Great Britain and Ireland , which . can be achieved in the course of a few days , by Mr . O'Cinndl

      was for the people , whose Interest was so deeply affected by this unlucky falling out of men who were once fast friends , to good-naturedly coerce them into reconciliation—( hear ) . He therefore implored the great body of Repealers who , thronged the Exchange rooms to influence their friends , and express their desire to Mr . O'Connell , that an amalgamation of all Ridical Reformers should take place . Their worthy president had informed them rightly that the ChaiUst colour is green ; under this livery of nature , and chosen emblem of Erin , the -working classes of the two countries should unitedly war with the system which crushed them to the earth ; and under that banner , with steadiness in the ranks and unanimity amongst their leaders , the people should and would saeoeed—{ loud cheers ) .

      Let it not be thought for an instant that in thus advocating conciliation , he ( Mr . D . ) for one moment abandoned his conviction that nothing shart of the Charter fully acquired would ever do for the laborious classes A Repeal of the Union would give them , to be * ure , the semblance of self-legislation ; but its substance they wonld never have till tfae people la reality elected tbe House of Commons—in a word , till they had Universal Suffrage—( heir , hear ) . It w&s hia misfortune to have been born and fostered amidst Conservative predelictions of the bitterest cast ; but nature having formed within him an esquiring 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 freedom and thrown political

      protection around wealth and rank alone ; and thinking so he had resolved to devote whatever his humble abilities or icnuence could effect to the cause of human liberty , civil and religious , in the widest and most comprehensive tense—( cheers ) . It was his firm conviction that aristocracy—fonnded 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 unfreouently superior intellectual powers than he bestowed on the rich—( hear ) , —and though not a member of the Bishop of Ardagh ' s church , he would take the liberty of indorsing his Lordship's sentiment regarding aristocrats , for whom he entertained the heartiest contempt —{ cheers ) . There could never be contentment for the masses or security for those called the " higher" classes , till the name of freeman ceased to be a distinctive appellation . Rome had to arm her slaves ^ Greece did it once to her own Imminent peril ; and would the

      Government of this conntry , if a foreign enemj were on its coast , feel secure in arming the men wh » were , through political disfranchisement , as veritably serfs and slaveB as if they wore the badge and collar of feudal servitude T the only distinction being , that in those barbarous days the slave was as well-fed as the bogs he tended , while in tfcess enlightened times the hogs were fattened and the mechanical slave was lean , pale , and hungry— ( hear and cheers ) . They knew their condition and its cause intimately—the monopoly of legislation by the" master class , '' as Mr . O'Connell bad well called it—( hear and cheers ) . Mr . Dyeit continued to dwell at great length on the necessity of union at this crisis , on the friendly disposition of the working clssses of England , and concluded by Baying that though he bad been as be considered most unfairly denounced himself by Mr . O'Connell on religious grounds , he was yet willing to wave all personal considerations , and lend his humble assistance in bringing about a reconciliation . He concluded , amid loud cheers , by seconding the motion .

      Mr . O'SuUivan said , though he was not as yet a member of the Association , yet he hoped that he Bngbi take the liberty of making a few observations . He , like many others , had 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 , had made upon his mind , was that the society was unlawful ; that it was cemposed of a low gsng 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 such men as those who had spoken there that day . Were honest men 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 the honesty to seek for ? He ( Mr . O'SuUivan } looked upon the principles of the Association to be sound and just , principles which would 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 7 He ( Mr . O'SuUivan ) had read in the columns of the Freeman ' s Journal , the Register , and Pilot , that this Association was unlawful ; that its members were bound together by unlawful oaths ; that they had secret signs and pass words . Have those papers made any atonement for these calumnies ? He could a&sare the meeting that the people in his

      district , would much rather read an act of justice , such as he ( Mr . O'SuUivan ) had mentioned , than all the prosy , stupid balderdash called " leading articles" in the Freeman ' * Journal during the last two years . He knew something of a . litUe smattering of the classics—a little of the fashionable languages ; had made some proficiency in science ; bnt he could declare , before that meeting , that it was with great difficulty be could at any time discover -what the articles in the Freeman were about . He had beard more sound political principle -enunciated that day than he had read in the Dublin papers fur years —( bear , bear ) . He hoped that the admirable resolution which was so ably introduced , andsoeleqnently supported by its seconder , would be passed by acclamation .

      Mr . Thomas Dunn—I oppose the motion—( hear , hear , " Are you a member ? " ) No ; bnt I oppose the motion . I have my Repeal card , and we can get Repeal without the assistance of -England . What do we care for England ? Mr . O'ConneU said , on the 23 rd of October , that we would have Repeal in six months , that is , that the Parliament would be sittirjg in College Green on the 22 nd day of April , 1844 , or he would snffer his head to be cut off—( bear , bear ) . Now , what more do ye want ? Haven't we his word for it ihasn't he pledged himself to it , provided we are aU peaceable . I move an amendment—that the motion be rejected . It is a motion against the character of our Liberator ; a cheer for him—( great cheering ) . Tbe Chairman—The amendment is not seconded . A "Voice—1 second it .

      I Mr . Woodward—I had hoped tnat the advise of Mr . O'SuUivan would have been taken , and that the motion ! would have passed without a single dissentient . He | could not see what was in the motion againBt Mr . Connell-I Mr . O'Brien supported the motien , | Mr . Djyle—I am not a member . I cannot join you , though my heart is with yon ; but I recommend tfce ! mover of the amendment to withdraw it for his own : sake , before the debate is dosed by the reply . If he

      , knew as much as I do lie icoidd lake my advice . i The Caairman having asked if any other person ! wished to speak , and having been answered in the ! negative , i Mr . O'Higgins rose to reply—He said that he had no i arguments to reply u > . He regretted that any amend-; ment had been proposed . The obvious meaning of the amendment was , " that there shaU be no conciliation ; that discord mast reign amongst us . " The amendment \ reminded him of the conduct of a certain black gentle-; man who envied the happy state of paradise .

      j Mr . Dunn—I withdraw the amendment . Let the j resolution be carried unanimoTuly . I am bat a young j speaker , I did not see how far wrong I was —( hear , -, hear ) . ! Mr . O'Higgins—Then there is no necessity for any I further observations . He should leave the resslution in | the hands of the meeting . 1 The resolution was then put and carried with three ' hearty cheers , and one cheer more . After which three : cheers were given far the Irish Universal Suffrage Assoj ciation , three for Mr . O'Connell and three for Mr . . O'Connor .

      ' When the immense mws of people got together in j the street , Borne one proposed a cheer for the Charter j and Rspeal , which was loudly responded to . i Thns terminated the largest and most important meeting that has been held since the formation of the I Irish Universal Suffrage Association .

In both these places , sufficient food is allowed to satisfy the wants of the inmates ; and moreover , it is clean and wholesome , and not dished upltfeesomuch carrion , as we observe it in oar workhouse jails .

      DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS . Loss of Focn Vessels . —Lloyd ' s , Nov . il . —We regret to state that tbe accounts received yesterday from the Cape of Good Hope contain the most sad intelligence of a dreadful storm having occurred on the night of the 26 th of August , in and off the o » ast of Algoa Bay , by whisfe four valuable ships , estimated at between £ 30 , 000 and £ 40 , 000 , were lost , as also several lives . Loss op the Elizabeth Bowell . —This vessel was a very nae barque , the piooerty of the Hull

      Shipping Company . She was almost a new ship , having only been built in the year 1839 at Sunderland , and was three hundred and twenty tons measurement . It appears from the 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 violence of the hurricane , and in less than twenty four hours she 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 cnaraoter .

      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 , 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 perUbed , including the captain , Mr . Mubay . The Seagull was also a barque of 239 tons burthen , and was launched st Montrose In the year 1841 . It is opposed Bhe 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 op the Delhi . —This ship was 270 tons burthen , built at Shoreham in 1838 . Her loss happened within a few tnUes of the spot where that of the Elizibeth Rowell took place , through being driven ashore , whtsn she soon went to pieces . Tbe crew providentially were saved by the aid of the ill-fated vessel ' s boats , bhe was tbe property of the commander , Mr . Byron , who it is believed insured her . LOSS OF the Laura . —This unfortunate vessel was lost , with the whole of her hands , in Algoa B ^ y , during the raging of the hurricane . She went a * hore on a hard , Bandy soil , the sea running completely over her ,

      and dashing her with great violence on she beach , where , in . a few hours , she weut to pieces , the poor fellows perisbiDg with her . She belonged to her illfated commander , Mr . Crockley , and was 184 tons burthen , of the port of Chester , where she vras built in the year 1824 . None of the bedies of tbe unfortunate crews tad np to a late date been washed ashore . The accounts conclude by stating , that tbo shipping suffered severely along the co * st from the violence of the storm , and It was Badly feared that many other vessels were lost during its existence , bnt as the intelligence was despatched on the day after , there bad not been time to collect the most authentic particulars .
