Dr. W. well knew the pernicious and destructive efreas of quackery, -ind was therefore decidedly hostile to all de-' seriptions of Quacks—he was an eminent Physir'an, of ex. tenSive experience, and who, for half a century; dispensed More benefits to • suffering humanity, by the application of tins Vegetable Remedy, than all the practitioners in the Mo dern Materia Nledica ean boast.

Surgeons, l a t e - i n his M -.jesty's service, 'Challenge the whole world to prove a single instance where their medicine and method of cure have tailed of the desired Meet. The prattice of many years in this particular branch of their profession, has not given rise to one unsuccessful case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure of venereal complaints, and that derangement of the sys tem, which is,the consequence of the pernicious and wastetn effects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it wilt be found to be the unfailing source of barrenness; the other have its ravages fa tally developed to them by a distressing state of debility, which it not timely remedied, terminates in impotentey, these are its remote .and ultimate effects, while consumed tiun, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints, usually characterise tits eat l4er stages of this solitary vice. -- Of persons languishing Un !et the disorders incident to such. a habit, their treatment is sitnple, and has never provedunsuc cessfulin the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most obstinate and complicated cases of ve nereal infedion, such as obstruetions in the urethra, spongy excrescences, hard tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions, semi nal. weakness, Meets, as also STRICTURES, Whether, recent or of long duration, and which have baf fled the skill of other Praditioners, are by-their present im proved plan of treatment, eflectually and permanently cured, without the-Patient -suffering the excruciating pall and alarming hemorrhage which frequently follows the applica tion of the lunar caustic. 1 n the course of twenty 3 ears extensive - practice in this -Metropolis, numerous cases of Strictures nave been and are daily tinder their care, the total eradication of which is elle.ded fry a sate, certain, and expe ditious mode oPpractice, superior to•any other yet adopted. The weakness, relakation, and debility proceeding from this complaint are speedily-removed; and the Patient restored to sound , and vigorous health. But where the deti iity has fin years existed, a proper perseverance in their - restorative re medies, after the Stricture has been destroyed, is indispensa bly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life and to ream mate the constitution. Several Noblemen and Gentlemen of the first respeaa. bility, have been under the care of :Messrs. k . urrie, and Co. for the removal ot complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and having received a radical and permanent Cure, request that references May_ he given to them, as satisfactory evi dences of the decisive superiority ot Mes,rs.

Lord HtLLAND moved"the second reading of the Bill, for amending the A.at of last Session respelling Drury-lane Theatre. On the question, a short conversation arose be tween his Grace of NORFOLK, and the Noble Mover. The first mentioned Peer expressed his opinion, that the measure was one that required much con, sideration. No one could be more aware than he was of the great advantages of a well-regulated Theatre in a civilized stag; it not only promoted civilization and refinement, but even went to im prove and ameliorate the mor.ils of the people. But if not well regulated, it might have a contrary effed. He thought the interval between the first (which only took place on Friday last) and the se cond reading by far too short, greater time should be allowed. Not only the principle of the Bill re quired sotne consideration, but some of the enact ing clauses, he thought, should be. materially alter-' ed, to render them wotthy the adoption of the House. He therefore proposed to amend his Noble Friend's Motion, by inserting, instead of the word " Now," as for the second reading, the' words " Tuesday, 10th of March." Lord HOLLAND strongly deprecated any unneces sary delay in the progzess of the measure, which would tend to defeat the objeets for which it was intended. He reminded his Noble Friend and the ki.use, that, the priucille of the Bill had'heeti fully lecognised by the Legislature in tfe Att of last Ses sion ; that the present Bill was in fact no more than a proposed extension ol s the time and powers allow ed by that Ad. As circumstances had rendered it necessary and expedient, and as his Noble Friend's objettions seemed to lie principally against some of the enactments of the Bill, the Committee, he must be aware, was the proper place for such discussions. He thought- it . preferable not to delay the second reading. Both these Noble Peers spoke in explanation. The Noble Duke persisting in his Amend ment, a division took place, whe❑ there appeared for the immediate Second reading - - - 13 Against it - - . 6 Majority - - A few observations were afterwards made, on the question t4eing put as to the day of Commitment, by- Lord ,RED-LSDALE and she LORD CHANCELLOR, both these Noble and Learned Lords st:eming to think the measure one that required some consider ation ; and tha► as some difference of sentiment ap peired as ►o the enaaments, some interval should be ()Bowed between the second reading aoal the commitment of the Bill. This meeting the sense . of the House, the Bill Earl GROSVENOR, in Warm and decided language, expressed his strong disapprobation of the measure. It was his intention to move to discharge the order. In viewing ►he subje&, the Noble Earl frequently glanced at sonic prominent parts of the conduct of his Majesty's Government, especially the effects of the Orders in Council, as the more effectual, though, remote causes of the distress of which the poorer orders of the Manufacturers complained. He par-. ticularly censured the severity of the measure, which went to initial the sanguinary penalty of death upon what, he said, may tie only an entry into a house. He trusted their Lord,hips would not suf fer themselves to be persu ,ded by Ministers into a concurrence in an Any, which would he a disgrace to the Statute-Book, to the character of ►he coun try, and which, instead of removing the evil, wi l : ( 1 increase it, by more widely diffusing the - mischief, and driving thtkunhappy depredators to ads of des peration. • The Marquis of DOUGLAS could not let the op portunity pass without offering his marked opposi tion to the Bill. He deemed it a most arbitrary and cruel measure, and which was by no means called for by the necessity of the case. The principle which should guide wise Legislators on such occa sions was to provide for -the prevention, rather than effectuate tne punishment of Crimes; it was not the severity of the punishment that deterred from the commission of crime, but the certainty of punish ment being inflicted. He thought, with the Noble Earl, that the excessive" severity of the punishment would eventually tend to induce greater acts of cri minality, and he regretted that it should be thought proper to visit those with extermination, who wet:; 'driven to such 'misconduct by a want of bread, or t h e means to suPport existence. He conceived also another ill effect it would have —to augment the manufacturing machinery throughout the kingdom. • The Earl of HARROW/BY argued ably and at some length in su;port of the Bill. He pressed - to the consideration of their Lordships, that the dangerous and destrudive practices which the Bill was meant to suppress, were now extending tapidiy to other parts of the country, and that a speedy a n d v i gorous remedy had become absolutely necessary. The exertions of the police and the existing laws were . found insufficient: The measure seas, however,, consonant to that which had been the course and Condud of the Legislature on former occasions near ly similar, in (hat - of the Woollen Manufacturers for instance, when, in the •14111 of Gef , rge the First, punishment of death was provided for that which pre iously was orly visited with a slight punishment, Noble Lords (3,l;rosite were pleased to characterize the measure in very harsh language, and to , c3ll its authors sanguinary and bloody winded; but they were such bloody minded men as the Eirl 01 Hxd wicke, and afterwards Lord Talbot, both which great and good men approved of the measures to which be alluded. When the middle system was inefficient, it was justifi-rble, it was necessary to re cur to measures of severity when called fur by cir cumstances and to leave the pradical.application of that severer s)stem, as particular cases and cir cumstances may call for it. Upon these grounds and principles, the measure proceeded, pi - 111014,s which more than once, on former occasions, govern ed the determinations of the British Legislature. • Tine Earl of CARLISLE shortly but strongly con
