THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of his MA JESTY'S TREAriUIIY, by Authority of PAR LIA M ENT, Whig peremptorily fixed WEDNESDAY, the 18th of OCTOBER, • For the positive conclusion of all Lotteries, the Public are respect-1 folly reminded this is the last df al/ opportunities that will ever occur to gain MINTY THOUSAND rattans ssi °Niftily, by the ven ture of a mere trifle. And when the immense population of the United Kingdom, added to all Foreigners (who have equal right to gain a fortune by the Lottery as Englishmen), are considered—that there are but a limited number of Tickets to meet the demand— that in former Lotteries, with but Two or at most Thant Capitals of £20,000, the Price has risen to a Hundred Pounds a Ticket, whilst in the present Last and Only Scheme that can ever be offered, there are the unprecedented number of SIX Prizes of £30,000, all to be drawn in One Day. It is recommended to every one to take, without delay, a farewell venture for one of the Six Thirty Thousands before Lotteries end for ever. Tickets and Shares are selling by J. and J.

EVEIt ANXIOUS TO PREVENT IMPOSITION, DAY and MARTIN respectfully inform the Public they have, after much labour and at a very considerable ex. pense, brought to perfection a Label of such singular construction and extreme dilhzulty of execution, that they trust will effectually prevent the many Frauds that are daily p ra ctised on the Public.— An attention to the following description of the Label will ensure the genuine Blacking prepared by them.

" Domes et placate tixor."—llox. Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. HAPPINESS 4 , the gay to-morrow of the mind" is insured by marriage ; " the strictest tie of perpetual Friend ship." is a gift fronaleaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, ens Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapleis instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but &bre especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath —for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either Sex (especially thine entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and letters from the 'count, y are immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice and 3ledicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant. _________ GOSS and Co.

PUBLIC MEETING. In pursuance of a public notice, signed by arespecta ble number of manufacturers aad tradesmen of this. town, calling a meeting of the hw-payers, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of addressing the King.. praying him to convene Parliament, for the purpose of revising the Corn Laws, and of effecting a reduction in the national expenditure —a numerous Assemblage of persons collected at the Manor Court Room, where the meeting was advertised to be held. About twelve o'clock, Mr. EDWARD BAXIRR was. called to the Chair. This Gentleman, after stating leis. ownsinability to fill so important a situation' exoreseidi his regret that the meeting had not been called .4 thaw p rsons to whom custom had riven the authodlerd. doing so;. and he also regretted that, by an habitual re fusal on the part of persons in office to call public ineisiugs; the important keratosis of the (owe of Min-. chester were deprived of the legitimate influence to which they were entitled. A requisition had, he said, in the first. instance, been presented to .the Church worth ns, requesting them to call the preseht meeting ; but those Gentlemen had alleged, as an excuse for their refusal, that it was not within their province to do so; , ' and as it was considered useless to apply to the 80. roughreeve, a number of respectable Gentlemen thought • it necessary to call the - meeting, for the purpose of laying before his Majesty the opinion of the inhabitants, that Parliament should be convened with all 'conve nient dispatch, to relieve the distresses of the suffering . people, before they were driven to desperation.. It was • not from any disrespect to the people generally•that the • meeting was confined to the lay-payers, buil& the purpose of 'hewing that the Resolutions did not ematiat e • from the persons who suffered most by the present dia. : tress. He should be happy to hear any Gentleman who would confine himself to the subjects of the Reolutions which were to be proposed. : • Mr. R. POTTER rose to propose the first Resolution. When such a country as England, with her great capi tal, her skill, and unwearied industry, was labouring under calamities, it was the duty of the people to -in vestigate and discover the causes of , the distress, and, in doinA so, it was as necessary that the inquiry should be conducted with the utmost calmness..—(Cheers). — Mr. Potter then•went•on to prove that the operation of the Corn Laws, and the excessive amount of taxation, were the ptincipal causes of the present disttess ; and . referred, in support of his opinion, to several speeches of Earl Grey, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Burke. He said, when the people found their incomes 'educed br ihe" . operation of the law, they had a right to say to Govern ment that they expected relief, leaving it to the Govein:- ment to devise the method of carrying their exptes,d; wishes into effect. There was no doubt but deep dis tress prevailed, to an extent of which few were aivire. - He, as a member of the Relief Committee, had some opportunity of witnessing such scenes of misery, as, if he were to unfold, would harro.v up their very souls ; and great as the distress was in Meneester, it was still greater in some. of the surrounding districts. In Burn- ley, out t f a population of 11,000, 8,000 Were rec , iving relief. U4d.r such circutmtances, he thought it incum bent on the people to demand the s - everest retrenchment of the public expenditure.—Mr. Potter then moved.-7 Ist. That this town, and the manufacturing districts, of,which it is the centre and the mart, are suffering, at the present moment. under the pressure of distress. which is wholly unexampled in - its extent and duration. which has already brought to insolvency and ruin great numbers of manufacturers, and dealers, and merchants, whose honest acquisitions appeared to have placed them beyond the reach of embarrassment ; which is daily augntenting the da culties of those whom it has not yet overwhelmed; which has.de• prived of all employment many thousands of skilful and industrious families of the labouring classes, degrading them into miserable dependents ou the scanty pittance furnished by the poor rates, and by charitable relief; which is continually adding to the number of those who are so dependent; which is, at the same time, gradually forcing down into the ranks of the necessitous many of the persons by whom those rates have been paid, and that relief has been gieen*; ' and which is thus threatening to involve in all the horrors of men tion this most thickly-peopled portion of the three kingdoms" Mr. DAVID HOLT seconded t h e reso l ut i on , and bore testimony to the accuracy of the statement 'which liad been made respecting the prevailing distress, to which I e thought the attention of Government, and of all classes of the people, shculd be immediately directed.. Mr. LILLY, a corn-dealer, thought the Meeting had been prematurely called; and. he also thought that the subject of National expenditure, if introduced into the intended address, would cut like a two edged swo r d. In h's opinion, the subject of the Corn Laws, and that of the National expenditure, should be kept separate. Here there was considerable disapprobation evinced by the Meeting, and Mr. Lilly found it difficult to proceed. The Chair man condemned the interruption; and said, if the sentiments of Mr. Lilly were not in accordance with these of the Meeting, it would be easy to chew it when the resolution was put to the vete. Mr. LILLY resumed, and expressed his regret that the Meeting had not been called by the authorities— (Hisses). His great objection to any expression of opi nion on the Corn Laws was, Oat if the manufacturers commenced the work .of calling public meetings, the agricultural interests would form associations to coun teract the manufacturers, and the county _Members would be sent into Parliament pledged against the re peal of the Corn Laws, as man; of them now were against the Catholic Question—(Hisses). Mr. Lilly's observations were frequently Inaudible, in consequence of the uproar which prevailed during his speech ; he concluded by moving an adjournment for three months, which motion was not seconded. The CHAMIAN then put Mr. Potter's resolution, which was curled. M. J. SHUTTLEWORTH rose, in furtherance of the ob jects of the meeting, to propose a resolution against the Corn Laws, and he did so with perfect satisfaction, because he thought no other subject surpassed that of the Corn Laws in impOrtance, whether the injuries which they inflicted in their various modifications, or the ad vantages of their repeal, were considered ; anJ in inves tigating the subject, it would appear that the conduct of Parliament was not deserving public approbation.
