In consequence of numerous applications co ? ilinua ! ly received from Bradford and the Neighbourhood . one of Vie Proprietors of Dr . Henry ' s French . Heroine Pills , will attend every Wednesday and Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , facing Eust Brook Chapel , Bradford . A TREATISE IS JUST PUBLISHED ON THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC / DISEASES , AND GIVEN WITH EACH BOX OF ; ' ^ m . HENEY'S FRENCH MBR 0 INE PILLS , CONTAINING plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above complaints—with observations on seminal weakness arisingfrom early abuses ,. and the deplorable consequences resulting from the use of mercury , the whole intended for the instruction of general readers so that all persons can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor , at No . 74 , Cobourg Street , Six Doors from Brunswick Chapel , Leeds . In Boxes , 2 s . 9 d . and 4 s . 6 d . each . "With each Box is given directions how to take these Pills , observations on points beneficial to the patient , being Mnts worth knowing by those -who are , or have been , sufferers from tMs dreadful and devastating malady . . ¦ '¦ - .. - That cruel disease wMch has destroyed so many thousands is now unhappily so ¦ well kriown that a recital of its effects is quite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritance from family to family , and when the great Doctor Henry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable benefit upon mankind by the discovery of Ms grand panacea for the cure of tMs deplorable complaint . The certainty with which the Pills are continually administered can be attested by many thousarids who are annually cured by them . "What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The French Pills root out every particle ofthe insidious poison , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove the disease but they renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser humour , andin a manner so imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonisMng and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral , and may be taken without the sb ' ghtest suspicion of discovery ; they require ho restraint of diet , loss of t ime , orMndrance ofbusiness , but effect a completecure without the least exposure to the patient . At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist it will be well to have recourse to the French Pills ; for when taken before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive removing the complaint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the Doctor ( from the n » e of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered .

From the Sydney JBkraldV' "/' ¦ '' ; We this day present bur readers with ; a series of documents which has Reached us froinan authentic * ° arcfy affording ( he '' -most irrefragable evidence of the job that has been made wit ^ the colonists'money , Appropriated to the purposes of erhierationV and . of the . fearful sacrifice of the lives of British subj ects emigrating to this colony , as illustrated in the case ' of the ship Lady M ^ Naghten . A Perusal of these documents will present facts so appalling as almost to supersede the necessity of our commenting thereupon . . '
Here \ ve have a committee of etnigratien , actin g under the authority of His Majesty ' s Government , equally bound . to superintend the discreet application of the public money , and to protect and provide for the health and welfare of the emigrants during their voyage , contracting w } thaparty , wepresrime , at so much per head ( which , we dare say , on investigation will not be found to be anything short-ef the Government bounty of £ 20 for each adult , arid in proportion for children ) for the conveyance of those emigrants from the United Kingdom to this colony . The contracting party thereupon charters a vessel of from 500 to 600 tons burden for the purpose , for
the consideration of about £ 2 , 000 ; he hurries her off to Cork with insufficient fittings , without . hospital conveniences , arid without adequate medical comforts , or even medicines ,- ^ -without preliminary examination into the state of the health of the emigrants , who are also , in most instances , without a sufficiency of apparel necessary to cleanliness , in many with single change , in some cases ( those not a few ) with the clothes on their backs : the-emigrants , 420 in liumber ^ are huddled on board , and the vessel , lumbered with merchandise and stores for private sale , is hurried to sea on her voyage of 16 , 000 miles ! for every day's detention is the consumption of a day ' s provisions , at the cost of the . affroighter-or
contractor . ;• ' _ The Mayor of Cork , it will be seen , after the ehibarkatibn of these unfortunate people , proceeded on board the vessel with the local committee and others , and expresses himself thus : — " That he never witnessed such a scene ; that it was his opinion , onehalf would die before they reached their destinataoii . " let they are sent to sea ; and , we suppose ^ the party contracting for their conveyance will long ere this have received the colonists' money at so much per head , according to the nuinerical strength of the embarkation return ! , - ;
>» ith a cheap , charter—and a cheap potato-diet to begin with , for the . emigrants—and a relief ere long from tlie necessity of any . diet all for no inconsiderable portion of their number—a very pretty sum the contractor must have made of it , under the management of a committee acting by the authority of His Majesty ' s Government ! It is not , however , the contracting party that we are disposed to . blame , so much as the committee and the Home Government , who are responsible ; we should imagine , for the consequences to Parlia * rrient and to the country ; which doubtless will call for a solemn iriquirv . into the case of the emigrant fillip"Lady M'Najrhten , " ; /
lhe cupidity of agents and contractors in all emigration business was a known evil to guard against ; and \ ye shouldlike to know what security the committee in London or the Home Government may have taken from . the contracting parties , either m the _ shape of peimlty or forfeiture , to prevent what experience lias shown might always be expected to occur where such precaution was : not adopted . Thesalutury . provisions of various acts of Parliament Which have been ; and are in force , as to crowding ships with passengers , could notbe unknown to a Minister ofthe Crown , if they wire to members of the emigration committee . But tlie authority of the Minister was and is necessary to the issue of thatnioney for emigration--service ; ' and he , we conceive , is the responsible party , if , from the absence of proper precaution , or if , from the presence of elseif
something — , for instance , the emigration contracts have been made a matter of . ' patronage ' , and a waste yf public monies , and what is of more consequence , a culpable sacrifice of British life have thus taken place . The local Government , and the Board of Inquiry convened at its instance , it will be seen , nut " only to acquit tlie commanderof the vessel and Ms officers of all blaniy , but award to him , the highest praise . He is himself a considerable sufferer by his detention and the imposition of cluirgecs incident thereto . It is not , however , upon any grounds of his private interests , which do not require it at our hands , -that we allude to the coinmauder , as he has been found , on careful inquiry and investigation , not to blame : the ( juestkm resolves itself into tMs—Who is then ? , . an irresponsible Secretary of State , or an irresponsible emigration committee , exercising patronage under that irresponsible functio ' narv ?
fhu following extracts from the captain ' s official report , and from the Surgeon ' s diary are weir worth the attention of such of our countrymen as may feel inclined to bo deluded by the prospects offered by the emigration committee . * . "In the first p lace , the embarkation- of the people on board my ship at . Cork was most disgraceful ' . ; ' vessel ' s hold , fore and aft , being already filled with stores , provisions , and cargo belonging to the affreighter—no space had been allotted for the reception of the emigrant ' s baggage , except between decks , yet they were allowed to bring -what they liked , box Upon box , without any one to keep order or regularity amongsUhem . The surgeon thought it necessary to have their boxes opened—upon doing so lie found many nearly empty , and the contents of such were only a parcel of old clotheshatsand blankeisnot
, , , nt for use ; consequently he ordered such boxes to be emptied and left on board the steamer by which the emigrants reached the vessel , there not being rooin in the ship for nearly one-half . As for many wishing to embark , of this 1 know nothing—I believe . two ; -or . three did get away by stealth ; but it was the express command of the emigration agent to tlie surgeon that none should be allowed to leave the ship again , and that as soon as ever the embarkation was completed we-should immediately get under weigh , and proceed to sea , which I refused to'do in the condition the ship Was then in , not only from the numbar of persons put on board * but the quantity of baggage which came with theih , the hold of the vessel being previously filled with stores , surplus provisions , . and cargo . In corroboration hereof , I refer to the * suxgeon ' s journal , dated Nov . 3 .
" The baggage was thus necessarily placed in between decks , filling the place from deck to deck , arid leaving only a narrow alley on each side for the inmates toget to their berths ^ and of course ^ obstructing all free circulation of air . My refusing to get the ship under weigh , called down the Mayor of Cork ( Mr . Pinnock ) , the Government , agent , Lieutenant Friend ^ arid M r . Marshall , with several others interested . The . mayor , accompanying me down irithe between-decks , remarked 'that never such a scene was witnessed , arid thatit was his opinion one half ( the aggregate number embarked , being 420 , ' theship 55 t > . tons burden ) ' would die before they roached their de » tinatioii . They , however , all came to tim
decision , that the ship should proceed to sea in this state , and that as the provision and water-casks were emptied ^ they were to be broken up , and the baggage stowed in their places . Therefore , I leave you to judge , gentlemen , the state we were in . I will just name you at this place , that , at the very time we left Cork , a very bad kind of scarlet fever was raging there and proving very fatal . I have no hesitation in saying thatit wag brought on board by some o £ the emigrants ; and I believe I may also safely state , that no precaution whatever , by previous examination , was adopted to ascertain the Estate of their health , or even . toascertai n whether they were provided : generally with sufficient changes of the most ¦
indispensable articles of wearing apparel ; •¦'•• I have been employed for many years in conveying a great number of Ms Majesty ' s subjects , civil and military , amounting to between 5 , 000 and 6 , 000 passengers , J may say to all parts of the world , and I do assure you , never did such a set as the last come under my notice , with the exception of about twenty families who were reall y respectable . I considerit a . great pity these families were obliged to inix with the rest ; the agents at home paying no respect to the character or state of health of the individuals so long as they got sufficient to fill the ship . I will here observe , that two cabins under the poop , 9 . feet bjr 8 feet 6 inches , were fitted up with berths to contain eight female adults each , and could that number have been obtained , there would have been sixteen in
persons that small space , without nriy restrictions or consideration of the great annoyance it must have been to the cabin passengers , f hat plan .-s ? asdeieated , as the number could not be got . "I am decidedly of opinion that two medical men ought at least to have been sent out with the miinbers we had , as of course itmightbe expected more sickness would take place when there was such a number of young children and females . We were also without a single necessary article of any description , either for the comfort or convenience of sick porsonsy not havinga single spare bed , or bedding , towels , or , in fact , airy thingthat ought tohaye been _ nut into ahospital . The medical comforts were equally deficient , having supplied many things , including : sago , &c ., from my own private stock . "

MACCLESFIELD POOR LAW UNION VTORKHOUSE . ~ . . u Ji ^ in S was forinerly the workhouse ^ under the old law , andnotbeiiig sufficiently commodious or adapted to the views of the Poor Law Commit sioners ,- it was resolved that a new one should be erected frpm a design by Mr . Goldsmith , architect of Manchester . No sooner was this workhouse nT agitation , than the inhabitants were on the alert , Pm by a spirited opposition succeeded in driving thecommissioners from their purpose . Thus , bein " defeated , it was thought advisable to alter the pre ^ sent ^ workhouse , and by several additions and building of partition . walls to separate the sexes , thpv
were enabled to accommodate about 150 inmates but the assistant-commissiorier , thinking that the * outside walls were too low—that is 12 feet—they were raised six feet higher , and covered with trokea glass to prevent escape , and that a pair of lar- 'e gates m front of the building afforded too ready an egress , ordered them to be , walled up , and the only entrance is a wicket door , behind which sits a porter to watch any intruder from . without , or any pauper within , who might be anxious to get put v thus the extended boundary of the workhouse isinade so-as defy art or favour to get oilt . . On my entranca through the portal of living death-: I was struck at the sight of a placard headed " Kotice is hereby given to vagrants ; " reading on , I found that it was the conditions upon which they were to receive
relief— viz ., their , hair should be cropped , that they should ^ be stripped and wished , and ' betbre they were relieved , tliey must grind a certain quantity of corn I inquired if the cropping of hair was still earned on , and I was answered m the negative ,, but that » ' the rest of the conditions were strictly enforced . " Be this as it may , tlie dreadful warning : remains to strike terror into the hungry applicant for relief . I was , ushered into the presence of thegovernor , a very civil gentleman to all appearance , formerly , a quartermaster of a marching regimen V who ordered one of the paupers to show me through < he house . The first place 1 entered was the men ' s dity-room ; here were near 50 men standing ani ^ . tting like so many disconsolate prisoners in a convict s day-room .

I was then shown the corn-null , where the vagrants have to earn their potr tage . It is a mill for grinding the flour used into
