The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class •f diseases and affec tions, which e'er some unaccountable reason have keen either altogeiner overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the e• dinary practitioner. Ti enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will net be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d., 4s 6d., and I Is. per box, is the mos' certain and effectual cure ever discovered, for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Se condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and aU Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business; they have effected the most surin icing cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed. It is a melancholy tact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate glects, nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pins in the head and limbs, till, at length, a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me ancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

Only one personal visit is required from a country patient, to give such advice as will he the means of effecting a permanent and effectul cure, after all other means have proved ineffectual. _ Letters for advice must be post. paid, and contain the usual fee of one pound. PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, invo luntary emissions, excesses, irregularity, olrtructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total incompetency, barrenness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the d.gestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of s ymptoms commonly denominated the nervous. In such per sons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

ROBERTSON, 111anaging Director. T AYLOR'S PATENT WOOD CUTTING COMPANY. Capital 50,000/. in 1,000 Shares of 50/. each. Deposit 11. per Sha e. The names of the Directors will be published on Seurday next. The object of this Company is to carry into profitable em ployment the patent which Mr. Taylor has obtained for Eng land, Scotland, Ireland, and the Colonies, for cutting wood by machinery after it has been steamed. For a quarter share of the profits arising from the manu factories, and one-half from the licenses, the Patentee has con sented to vest the whole patent right in a Company, providing adequate capital to carry out the greatbusiness likely to arise front it. That business may be measured by the fact t hat it is calculated to superseie all the cooperage in the kingdom in the making of casks, inasmuch as, if the materials could be had fur nothing, under the present system, the expense of labour alone would be greater than the entire cost of both materials and labour under this patent. The machinery with but two-horse steam power, performs .120 evolutions, and with two cutters cuts 210 staves per minute, making no sawdust, and occasioning no further waste of mate rial than the inequalities of the surface of the blocks. The machinery con be applied to all other wood cutting, as well as the making of casks, and the patent granting the exclu sive privilege of cutting wood softened by steam, cannot be su perseded or rivalled by any other mode of cutting, of which the steaming of wood is a necessary element. A very large manufactory would be required in London for the business to be carried on in the metropolis alone—other ma nufactories might be established in the large maritime towns of the United Kingdom, or licenses might be granted to residents in such towns upon terms to be settled by the Company. At present the square tower and adjoining premises east of Wa. terloo-bridge, on the Surrey side, are used for the purpose. In dividuals desirous of embarking in the Company may see the machinery at work daily, and satisfy themselves of the immense capabilities and great probable profits of the undertaking. The capital may be expanded or contracted as may be expedi ent, and no public Company, whether large or small, can fail in profitably employing its money. The business may be carried on with 5,000/. successfully, though ten or twenty times that amount would create a much more than proportionate return. Sixteen patents have been granted by foreign Powers, but it is 11 ,- ,t proposed to include them in this Company. The Standing Orders of Parliament have been complied with, .and a. pro , is'esiot. may be essiatts‘ext-tits a Tassed,: authorising the transfer of the patent to snore than twelve per sons, and empowering the Company by Act of Parliament. Should all the Shares not be taken before the passing of the Act, the Company will go on with such capital as shall have been subscribed ; but no further Shares be issued after the passing of the Act save at a premium, fur the benefit of the original Shareholders, who shall have the pre-emption of claim ing them at such premium. Application for Shares may be made to E. M. Elderton, Esq., Solicitor, 40, Queen-square, Bloomsbury ; or W. 11. Taylor, Esq., the Patentee, at the Manufactory. IMPORTANT TO GAS-LIGHT and COKE COM PANIES, GAS-FITTERS, and CONSUMERS GENE RALLY. NT DEFRIES, GAS ENGINEER, begs to • inform Gas Companies and the Public, that after seve ral years' practice, and close study, he has succeeded in bringing to perfection hitherto unequalled, a perfect DRY GAS ME . I ER, for which he has obtained her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, and now confidently submits the saline for their approval and support. The PATENT DRY GAS METER has been tested and sanctioned by several London Gas Companies, and the advan tages it possesses over the Water Meters are, steadiness of light, working by the slightest possible pressure; and to show that the correctness and accuracy of its measurement may at all times be depended upon, it is only requisite to mention that the Gas Fittings are not injured by the impregnated water with which the Water Meters are charged, and that the severest frost will not effect it; so that the Patent Dry Meter is emi nently calculated to surpass any other hitherto produced. To be obtained at DEFRIES and Levy's Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, where all orders will meet with immediate attention. TURNOUT AT THE LANCASHIRE COLLIEUIES. MANCHESTER, FEB, 1.--In a communication which ap peared in the Times a fortnight ago I informed you of a turn-out of colliers in this district, and that an adjustment of the dispute had taken place between the journeymen colliers and their employers. The fact is, the men ob tained the demands for which they turned out, which would make an increase to their former wages of about 7s. per week. Inspirited by their success on this occa sion, they resolved to make another effort, having fur ha ohj?et an advance of another 7s. per week, making in all an advance in their wages of 14s. per week. The masters now discovered, that whether from caprice, insatiable ava rice, or from whatever motive made, such demands might become indefinite; and therefore resolved to resist the further exactions now attempted to be made. The men in consequence turned out, and nearly the whole of the colliers in Lancashire followed the example. Great embarrassments have naturally resulted to the large millowners, whose usual supplies have thus been cut off. In many instances those mills have been kept in operation by consuming a species of rubbish, con sidered on ordinary occasions unfit for use; while in other instances they have been obliged to consume house coal and canal at an increased cost of 61. per cwt. This increased cost must seriously affect those who h.,ve occasion to mph.) , steam-engines ; while on the other band several, I am credibly informed, have been obliged to stop their works for want of coals. The hardship to the owners of collieries is net less seriously felt, for in many instances they had entered into cone acts with extensive millowners, which, by the turn-out, they are rendered unable to complete. Urged by the necessity thus created, the agent of Lord Francis Egerton has been obliged, I am told, to purchase several thousand tons of coal from the Ince colliery, near Wigan, in order to complete his Lordship's contract. His Lordship's agent has, how.. ever, discovered a process likely to tame his refractory colliers, and which, indeed, I am informed, has already had that effect. About 200 of those who turned out from his Lordship's collieries hold tenements on his estates, and every one of them has received notice to quit instanter, or return to his work. The very humane character of Lord Francis Egerton is toe well known in this neighbourhood to be doubted, and therefore it will he no matter of surprise when I say that those tenants enjoyed their cottages at a nominal rent. This and other advan tages possessed by his Lordship's tenants were too valu able to be foolishly forfeited, and the men have, in conse quence, returned this morning to their work. The men employed by Mr. Ainsworth, M. P., at Bulton, have also submitted, upon an assurance, it is stated, from that gen• tleman that he will adept the ratio of wages agreed to by the other masters. In the Oldham district, lam informed, the turn-outs at once obtained their demand. This par tial submission, however, on the part of the men will have a salutary effect upon the other districts where the turn-out may be of a more protracted nature. Already the inhabitants of this town have suffered very severely, many people at this inclement season being unable to get a supply of coal. Several have kept their carts at th e wharfs for two days together without obtaining a supply, while some poor people . have been in attendance from the early hour of three in the morning, and have bean obliged to return home disrppointed to a cheerless hearth at night time. The colliers were well aware of their masters' contracts, which, added to the severity of the weather, they considered furnished a certain guarantee for success. TURN-OUT OF ENGRAVERS TO CALICO•PRINTERS. Amidst all the vicissitudes incident to trade and com merce there is no class of operatives whose condition has been less affected than that of the engravers to calico printers. Their ratio of wages throughout the various revolutions of other trades, has remained stationary, and at this thy amounts to a very handsome sum. But it is with this as with almost every class of operatives ; they are not satisfied with doing well, and when even the amount of wages is too ample to allow of complaint, their irgenuity is taxed to discover some other grounds. This is a lesson which cannot be too often road to the operatives ; for, in the majority of instances, reduction of wages, the intro duction of machinery, destined to supersede manual labour, and many other sources of humiliation are trace able to very trivial causes, the origin of which is to be found in their own officious intermeddling, and impertinent interference in the concerns of their em ployers. And even in such instances, could the men gain their end, their success would, in few instances, benefit their condition. The turn-out of hodmen in building transactions had led to the invention of machinery, by which their offices are more rapidly and uniformly per formed. The turnouts of cotton-spinners had led to the invention of mule spinning, by which a great proportion of hands has been rendered useless. And the same fact is strongly illustrated by the ingenious machinery used by engravers to calico-printers, and which, from its rapidity and precision, must have superseded a large amount of manual labour s ,,._ - _ - -dug re ordina' , patter ner .41 esig a 6, eat - dupes:, be come obsolete in this department of arr, thmeachine it. self, however extraordinary it may appear, Orforming at once the united offices of designer and engraver. Further improvements may yet be provoked by the cir cumstances before alluded to, and to which I have now more particularly to advert. Messrs. Joseph and Jslin Lockett are engravers to calico printers in Manchester, and employ about 100 men. A few days ago 20 of their hands struck work and turned out. It was not fur wages ; in this respect they were satisfied, at least they ought to be, for several of them were earning 41. per week, and most of them not less than 31. It was because their employers had the assurance to transfer at his own request a young man who had served hi s apprenticeship in their ser vice from one department to another, which better suited his health. He had been accustomed to en grave copper rollers; he was ordered to engrave steel dies, from which dies the impression is transferred by ma chine pressure to the copper rollers. For this very serious offence 20 of the men turned out, and are destined to re main out ; for the Messrs. Lockett have discovered they can do without them. They have substituted for the turn outs several men who before were employed in some part of the engraving or printing department of the Potteries. This is a curious transfer, but it has taken place; and the places of others have been filled up by engravers to copper plate printers, all of whom are now engaged in learning the business of engravers to calico printers. Hitherto the em ployers in this department of art have been sander the most absolute and slavish control of the union ; so much so, that a master could not ergage an apprentice or a workman without permission of the union, tied in the latter instance, even if permission is given, it must be such a man as the union may choose to send, and to him full wages must be paid, whatever may be his merits as a workman, whether enfeebled by age or otherwise. Thus some employers arc seriously li mited in the amount of their business, and for no other rea son than that th caprice of the union requires it. The Messrs. Lockett could furnish employment to another hundred men, hut the fiat of the union prevents it, and the introduction of apprentices is absolutely forbidden. This over-stretch of arbitrary power has, however, had its proper effect ; and, in defiance of the union, the Messrs. Lockett have engaged, since the turnout, no less than twelve apprentices. I recommend these facts as a useful lesson to trade unions. ANOTHER ATTEMFTF.D MURDER BY A SAWYER. Last week a man of the name of George Coraoy, a sawyer, was drinking in a public•house in Warrington with several other persons. The Ashton murders happened to be talked of, and a man named Acton, who was present, said," It was right the ringleader should be found out andpunished." Conroy exhibited much vexation at the remark, and brutally assaulted Acton ; the company inter fered, and Cunroy went out. He, however, shortly re turned with a sprig -bit, and inflicted two wounds on the person of Acton, one in his left breast, the other in the ab domen. The wounds arc fortunately not mortal, the in strument not being long enough. Conroy was taken into custody, and examined before the Magistrates, by whom he was committed for trial at the Assizes.

" It is with no ordinary regret, in which great num bers of our readers and all classes of persons in this city (Worcester) will participate, (says the 11 7 orcester Chronicle), that we have to record, in our week's obituary, the death of Dr. Simpson, at Shrubbill, at the venerable age of eighty-five. For more than half a century, during which Dr. Simpson has been resident, among us, his liberality as a contributor to all our pub lic institutions, his private benevolence, and high moral character, have deservedly gained him general esteem and respect. For the long period of nearly forty years, Dr. Simpson conducted the establishment for the education of youth in Silver Street, and by the manner in which he discharged that most useful and honourable employment, secured to himself the warmest regard of his numerous pupils, and the general respect of their relatives and friends. Gifted by nature with an excellent bodily constitution, and possessed of a richly stored mind, h^ was eminently qualified for the laborious charge, and few instructors, if any, ever surpassed him in zeal, vigilance, persever ing industry, and strenuous exertion to promote the best interests of the youth placed under his care. By his scholars generally, Dr. Simpson was venerated as a father ; and, in 1826, prior to his retirement from the school, they presented him with a very handsome piece of plate—an imperishable testimony to the kindly feel ing that existed between the pupils and their preceptor, alike honourable to both. In private life the Doctor's cheerful society, kindness of manner, instructive con versation, and singleness of heart, endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. If an up right man is a public good, the loss of one so distin guished as Dr. Simpson for every ennobling quality of bead and heart, is deservedly attended with general regret." A correspondent of the Elgin Courant supplies the following additional particulars of this benevolent and patriotic gentleman :—" Dr. Simpson was a native of the parish of Rothes, in Morayshire, and was born in th, your 17.5.5. He was brought up there till he at tained the age of twelve years, when he was removed to Keith, and educated at the charge of a relative he had there, when Sheriff-substitute of Banffshire. When he was sufficiently qualified for college, he was sent to Aberdeen, and prosecuted his studies at King's College and University. On the completion of his college cur riculum, he was employed for some years as tutor in a respectable family in Buchan, where he seems to have found himself very comfortable and to have experienced much kindneis. When his services in this family were no longer required, be adopted the resolution of proceeding forthwith to the great metropolis and of trying his fortune on the other side of the Tweed. At this time, so scanty were his means and r,-sources, that we are confidently assured it was with no small difficulty he was enabled to muster among his friends a sum sufficient to carry him thither. Having arrived at his destination about the year 1780, he was employed as usher in a respectable academy in the vicinity of London, and from that time till the year 1826, lie was assiduously engaged in the highly-useful and honourable task of educating youth. In this pro fession his enthusiastic zeal and distinguished' success were particularly remarkable, and the extract above given sufficiently testifies with what high respec t , - teem, and love, he was regarded by tsoc among f years. whom he resided for such a long perio d As to the exceeding benevolence of hi s disposition, r it is beyond all praise.

LEON.—Among those who are Conversant with the life and acts of Bonaparte, it is kno.vn that the earliest ex periments as to popular opinion on his secretly ccnt:m plated assumption of the " Imperial" title, were tried among his military supporters, who, from haling shared the glory of his conquests, were best disposed to tolerate his views of self-aggrandisement. The exact particulars of the occasion when it was first publicly tried, however, have not been given in any memoirs, although many persons who were present are still living (among others, Marshal Sault) besides the distinguished officer, Baron Faure de Lilatte, who was, sportively, "the first to proclaim Napoleon, Emperor," under the following circumstances : At the time when Bonaparte contemplated his much vaunted descent on the English coast, he had ordered encampments of troops to be formed at Boulogne, Dun kirk, Autro, and, in short, at. all the little towns -along that part of the French coast. Prince Joseph Bonaparte (now living in England as the Count de Survilliers) was then Colonel of the 4th Regiment of the line, and was stationed at Autro, in the " Camp de Gauche," commanded by General Soult, inae become a Marshal of France, and at this moment French Minister of War. After the camps had been some time formed, it was proposed by Prince Joseph and the other superior officers of the left camp, to give a grand entertain ment to all the field-officers of the other camps, and the neighbouring garrisons, including also the naval com manders on the station, and accordingly a very nume rous party were invited. Up to this time there had been no rumour, or even suspicion, as to Napoleon's intention of assuming the title of Emperor. On the day preceding the dinner party, f0:11C verses, referring to the Imperial title, were sent anony mously from Paris to the Baron Faure de Lilatte, who, though a young man, had seen much service, and was inti mate with the Bonaparte family. He was surprised at the subject of the lines, and, after deliberating on what he should do with them, he determined to consult Stanislas ,Girg.rdin, the constant companion and counsellor of Prince Jose] r, Girardia took the manuscript, with a promise of giving Baron Faure an early answer ; and,. on the ddy of the fete, he restored the lines, acceding to the young officer's wish for permission to give them Accordingly, after the numerous party had partaken of a superb dinner, such as little Boulogne seldom wit nesses, Baron Faure requested Prince Joseph's leave to propose a new toast. This being granted, he rose, and, to the astonishment of the majority, read aloud his mysteriously-sent couplet, of which the following is an exact transcript : Lorsque Napoleon, a la fibre Angleterre, Ira dieter les lois do la paix nu la guerre, Qui pent lui disputer le titre d'Empereur. Lorsqac ce grand nom est deja dans notrc eceur " Vise l'EmpereurP shouted the young soldier as his toast ; and the sound ran like electricity among the veteran adorers of Napoleon, •' Vivo l'Empercur !" re— sounding at the same instant from all the crowded tables, and it was taken up again and again with fresh entliu siasm after each momentary pause ; so that the Baron Faure de Lilatte bad the triumph of thus socially being the first who proclaimed his general and brother•in-arms an Emperor ! THE NE W REFORM CLUB- HOUSE. As this edifice is noww — finished and about to be opened, a few particulars may be interesting. The style of architecture is what is usually understood as the Roman-Italian, the chief features of which consist in simplicity and chasteness of design, com bined with a finished elegance in its various details. The enriched entablature surmounting this building is greatly admired by connoisseurs, although the absence of a blocking is considered by a few objec tionable. Tire plain unbroken facide pleases the eye from its simplicity, and the ribbed roof, when seen from a distance, has a good and classical effect. The first object which strikes the spectators on passing the entrance hall is the saloon, the grand feature of the whole building, and upon which the greatest care, both as to its arrangement and composition, has evi dently been bestowed by the architect. Space and convenience have, however, apparently been some what sacrificed, and made to contribute to its beauty and effect. This apartment extends the whole height of the building, being lighted by an immense sky light, composed of richly embossed glass fitted into a cast-iron frame, and from which a gigantic chande lier will be suspended ; it is oblong, being about 70 feet by 60, with a surrounding gallery of conside rable width, supported by lonic fluted columns of Si enna scagliola on porphyry pedestals of the same materi 11, the capitals and bases being in imitation of statuary marble ; over these columns is a second row of Corinthian columns supporting the entablature of the roof. The floor is mosaic, an& is composed of small china tiles, three -Quarters of an inch seinnre. with vitrified colours on the upper surface, all firmly embedded in a thick layer of cement. The centre ornament is very tastefully designed. At the farther end is the coffee-room (looking towards Carlton-ter race), one hundred and fifteen feet in length and thirty in width ; the drawing-room over it being of exactly the same size and proportion. The ceilings aro richly ornamented, but appear low. The walls of the drawing -room are panelled, and it is the intention to hang them with rich fluted silk. Over the centre lire-place is constructed a large arched open ing, which, looking down into the saloon, will be occupied by a single plate-glass, and decorated by columns, and entablature of a very rich' and ornamental character. On the ground-floor on the right is the elegantly proportioned library, and above this room is the Parliamentary Library. It is intended to fix sliding shutters, each of single panes of looking glass to the two end windows of this library to be drawn up at night. The second floor is entirely devoted to th e dormitories, about 40 in number, all - fireproof, which are entirely separate from the Club, and under a dif ferent Committee of Management. VALUE OF BAROMETRICAL INDICATIONS. Captain Oldrey, commanding the Hyacinth, sloop of war, was working up for Barbadoes, Auk. 10, 1831, when the hurricane came on. He had been upon the deck during the finest weather ever witnessed in that climate, and had just been admiring the beauty of the evening. The atmosphere to the horizon was perfectly clear, not a cloud obscuring the sky ; nor was there the least probability of a change, as far as could be judged from any appearance observable in the heavens or on the ocean. Going below to his cabin, the captain flung him self upon a sofa, and a minute or two afterwards chanc ing to cast his eyes upon a barometer suspended near, he observed that the mercury was falling. It was a mo ment when he would not have thought of consulting the instrument for any purpose, and so strange did he think the circumstance, that he rubbed his eyes, imagining he was deceived. Still the mercury fell ; he got off the sofa, and approaching the instrument, discovered that the quicksilver was falling with a perceptible motion. He went on deck, but the weather was as lovely as before ; he descended again, shook the instrument, and still the descent was certain and continued. A fall so rapid and remarkable, of which ho had never seen nor heard of a parallel instance, convinced him that something was about to happen. He called the first lieutenant and master, and stated what he had seen. These officers alleged that there could be no storm likely, the sea and sky were than so clear and beautiful. The captain was not of their opinion ; and as the ordi nary falling of the barometer indicated a storm, he re isthde hey,: determined osi dl fol te on nafmspr board theirele:acnanne sweat lueposarnreoedt previous storms Bmhui ship re solved to prepare for one with a speed and energy pro portioned to the singular rapidity of the indication.

This extreme fury of the wind, in which it seemed as if nothing could live, did not continue more than two hours, and for the whole time the ocean was without waves. "Alen the wind abated a little of its greatest force, the sea began to rise, and falling a little more, the waves rolled in mountains, while through these the ship bored her way, rather than sailed. The next day the Hyacinth arrived at Barba does. The hurricane was over. The vessels in Bar badoes harbour, which is two-thirds surrounded by rocks, the remainder being a sandy beech, wore all driven far up, high and dry, and nearly buried in sand, so that, after the calamity was over, there was nothing to do but to dig them out again, —English Journal.
