ADVICE. —When Men of Education and prof.ssional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants , Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or ar i s i ng f rom any o th er c ourse, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mistiken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to Lim ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi cates of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials inquirer) from the . most eminent Professors, th e y h ave t o convince any that the success resulting from their endeavours first inducedthem to quit the practice of the general practitioner; and th e y p resume th a t th e i r preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. The , result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Com plaints however inveterate cr complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short space of a few days. The unprece dented success of their mode of treatment, which has never been known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during which period many thousand persons of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and inju rious methods had been pursued by other practitioners without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice. To be consulted daily, by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention.—Letters from the country, containing the particulars of the case, enclosing a remit tance, duly attended to, and Advice and Medicine for warded to any part of the world.

Last night an extraordinary meeting of the mem bers of this Union was held at the Great Room re Saville House. The room was crowded with menu bets. About half-past eight the Council took thei, seats upon the platform,nnd received with loud cheers Josern Hustle Esq., M,P., took the Chair, and expressed his earnest desire, as a member of ths Union, to do anything calculated to serve their in terests there or elsewhere.—(Cheers.) He took the opportunity of making a few remarks on the circumstances which made their meeting necessary. The point Reformers looked to was this—they were aware that by a compromise on the part of some of the Anti•reforming Lords, the Ministers had carried the second reading; but they were also aware that those Lerds had said, that unless they could do this, that, and the other in the Committee, they would still turn round and vote against it. For his part, if they did in Committee anything like a third of what they proposed, he would not give a fig for the Bill.—(Loud cheers.) They were met, therefore, to call upon the House of Peers to pass the Bill unmutilated and untouched in any of those great principles, without which it would be utterly valueless. They might depend upon it that the Peers would make as many alterations in the BIN as they thought could be made with safety. It was necessary, therefore, to assume a firm position; nothing had ever been gained by the people of Eng land but by presenting a sturdy front, and exhibiting an undaunted determination.—( Cheers.) If he had read the pages of history right, the freedom of England had been most advanced in times of difficulty and danger. It was when the people would no longer submit to pillsge and plunder—it was then, and not till then, that any thing could or would be wrung from the aristocracy. Nothing was to be gained but by union—the most determined union on the part of the people.—(Applause.) lie could not wish that any expression should fall from him which might be construed into want of confidence in Lord Grey—still he could not but regret that the course which that Minister had thought proper to take, was not that bold and decided course which it would have been his best policy to have adopted. There was Earl Grey with the people at his back, with the Sovereign at his elbow ; and thus supported, good God ! what had Lord Grey and Ministers to fear from the fraction of the nobility opposed to them ? —(Cheers.) It was their policy to have taken a more decided course ; there was nothing which struck more terror and dismay into the minds of the Tories, than the circumstance of the King coming down in 24 hours, and dissolving in person that Parliament which had opposed itself to the declared wishes of the nation. If, after the rejection of the Bill in the Lords by a majority of 41, thenext morn ng's Gazette had contained a list of 60 new Peers, created for the purpose, the whole Bill would have been passed long ere this.—( Great cheering.) The Ministers had thought differently; they might, per haps, have adequate reasons for the course which they had thought proper to pursue; but it was the duty of the people of England to prove that in them there had been no change; that their opinion re mained unaltered ; that they were still determined to have Reform—(cheers)—and that they would have all that the House of Commous had granted ; and that they would not be satisfied with one iota less. To those who had any objection to the crea tion of Peers, he would address a few words. Almost during his own life—at least, from the com mencement of the reign of George 111. to that of William IV.—no less than 360 Peers had been greeted. Of these, 330 had been Tory Peers, made by the dominating power—for what purpose, but for the purpose of carrying measures, not merely not consistent with,but actually opposed to, the interests of the public ? If, therefore, the Tories had made 300 Peers and upwards, to carry measures opposed to the wish of the nation, he appealed to their com mon sense whether any Minister should have hesi tated to create Peers to any number, for the sake of carrying a measure which a whole nation united in demanding. Lord Grey was too much afraid of the power opposed to him. Much had been said on the subject of threats. It was said, " What ! surely you'll not threaten the Peers ; they are brave men, and will not be intimidated ;" but he would say, that they never gave anything up in their lives without being threatened, and they never would. They would never remove their yoke till the people evinced their determination no longer to submit to it.—(lmmense cheering.) Mr. D. WAKEFIELD, jun. proposed the first re solution, which he was sure must meet with the ap probation of all real and ardent Reformers. The resolutions was as follows : " That this Union sezes this opportunity of declaring to the people that although the principle of Reform has been recognised by the House of Lords, it has no confi dence that the Noble House will pass the Reform Bill, un less the opinion of Englishmen be universally and ener getically expressed upon the subject." He remarked upon the importance attached to the expression of an opinion, on the part of that Union, the apostasy of Lord Carnarvon and other Noble men, who had supported Reform before there was any chance of its being reduced into practical opera tion. Nothing could be greater fallacy than that which had been so industriously promulgated by the Tory Press ; he meant that comparison of every effort at change (and this Reform Bill was one of the greates , ) to the attempts which led to the sanguinary scenes of the French Revolution—that was the result of ignorance, this of intelligence. He trusted that they would agree to the resolution he had proposed, and every other that was calculated to send forth to the people of England their stern and unflinching determination to carry the Bill. Mr. Fox SMITH seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried unanimously, amidst loud cheering. Major REVELL moved a resolution, declaring, that if any alteration were made in tEe enfranchising, the disfranchising, or the 101. clauses of the Bill, the meeting would esteem such an alteration a direct attack upon the principles of the measure, and resist it by every legal means in their power. Mr. MACLEOD seconded the resolution. Mr. SAVAGE supported the resolution. The resolution was then put and agreed to. Mr. MURPHY moved the third resolution, which was as follows : " That an address be presented to his Majesty, founded on these resolutions; and that Messrs. Fox, Place, and Wakefield be appointed to prepare it." Mr. DETROSIER seconded the resolution. It was only by the determined union of the people of Eng land that they could hope for success. Still there was one remedy to which they might resort if driven to extremity—he did riot allude to physical force, but to the resisting of the payment of taxes.— ( Great cheering.) Nay, he was sure that if the Noble Lords in the Opposition drove them to it, there would be still virtue and talent enough in this country to form a National Assembly, and to save this land from impending destruction. This was their sheet-anchor. The people should cast their eyes abroad on all occasions to select men, not only of good character, but of courage and talent suffi cient to protect the interests of this great nation. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. B. PERRY moved the adoption of the follow ing petition :- 1 '6 TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD! SPIRITUA L AND TEMPORAL IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. " The Petition of the undersigned Persons, who are Members of a Society calling itself tl e National Political Union— " Snowarx--Tbat in the hope the Bill for amending, the Representation o f the People in England and Vales, ;low before your Lordships, would become law in the sau -tate in which it passed the House of Commons, your Pr titioners have e ndeavour , d to persuade, and to a consider able extent have succeeded in persuading, the ardent an( honest advocates of a more extended suffrage, than i thereby provided, to unite in support of that measure as whole. " That your Petitioners submit to your Lordships, tha a mutilation of any of the provisions of the Bill which tend to secure an ex'ension of the elective franchise, will pro duce consequences as fatal as those which would assuredlt follow the rejection of the Bill. " That in either case there is reason to expect that cessation of the payment of taxes will take place ; that other obligations in society will he disregarded ; and that the ultimate consequence may be the utter extinction of the privileged orders. " That to prevent these calamities, and to promote a peaceful and effectual Reform, your petitioners pray that your Lordships will plss the Bill for amending the repre sentation of the people untou'ilatel and without delay." Mr. BELLER seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. Colonel .TONES then proposed the next resolution, which lie enforced in an appropriate speech. The resolution was as follows : " That this Union entertains the warmest feelings of gratitude towards the Reformers of . Scotland and Irelan fur their patriotic and sincere co-operation in furthering the cause of Reform, and will support them in obtaining the same measure of Reform in their representation which the Reform Bill will give to England." Mr. DETROSIER moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. MONGREDIEN, and car ried unanimously " That i❑ the meantime this Union earnestly recom mends to the serious consideration of the Reformers of England the progress which Political Unions and the estah ment of reading rooms for the diffusion of u'eful political knowledge amongst the people are nuking in Scotlind, which, coupled with the fervour of the people in favour of the passing the Bill in its preNent efficient state, affords a prospect that must be gratifying to the people of Scotland as it is to this Union, and to all enlightened Reformers throughout the kingdom." _ _ . A Mr. LOCKHART then proposed a pledge to Uni versal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and no Property Qualification ; but only two hands being held up in its favour, it was, of course, negatived by an im mense majority. Thanks were then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up at a quarter before Twelve o'clock. REFORM MEETING AT DUMFRIES. (Abridged from the Dumfries Courier of Tuesday.) In consequence of a requisition presented to Pro vost Corson, a meeting of the inhabitants of Dum fries was appointed to be held in the Court-house on Friday, the 27th ult., to express their sentiments regarding the Reform Bill at the present important juncture, &c. Previous to the hour of meeting the seven trades, marshalled by Convener Thomson, arid the several Deacons, proceeded through the prin cipal streets of the town to the spirit-stirring airs of the militia band, while sixteen banners" fluttered in the breeze." At a quaver-past one, every nook of eur spacious Court-house was filled to suffocation; and yet not above one-third of the Reformers could be accommodated. Provost Corson was called to the chair, and on his suggestion the meeting ad journed to the School-yard, where a temporary hus tings was speedily erected on the west side of the green. Mr M 6 Growan, writer, was appointed Clerk. ROBERT MURRAY, E•q. mounted the station up propria.ed for the speakers. They had already had metings, but the present one was by far the most numerous, and undoubtedly deserved to be so ; arid lie cotifidently hoped that the rext occasion on which they were called together would be to celebrate the speedy and complete triumph of the Bill. Mr. Mur ray then briefly recapitulated the provisions of the Bill, and characterized the right of voting in 101. freeholders, as trot the least benefit it would confer; this was the lowest qualification, and much had been said to prove that it would not stand the test of uti lity, because it would introduce to the House a de mocratic rabble who would overawe its proceedings; but he conceived that the 101. householders were as well able to discharge honestly the duties of electors as those who paid the higher sum of 201., and their " still small voice" had equally a right to be heard by those who impose on them the taxes. They were in fact just as necessary to preserve the free equilibrium of the Constitution, as the House of Lords was necessary to control the proceedings of the House of Commons. Mr. Murray then adverted to Lord Grey's long-tried consistency, and the im possibility that he would ever sanction any other Bill less efficient than his own. Here and every where else, theme was a universal feeling in the pro• priety that the Bill should he passed without any material alteration in its provisions, and this consum mation will be attained. Mr. Murray concluded by reading his resolution amidst the cheers of the as semblage. Capt. BUSFIBY, R.N. seconded the resolution. Mr. M‘DtAuattp, in a brief address, moved the next resolution, which was seconded by Major ADAIR, and carried. Convener TitomsoN read the third resolution, moving. that a petition, founded on the foregoing re solutions, be transmitted to Earl Grey, to be pre sented by him to the House of Lords. The petition was read by Mr. MURRAY. Mr. Mek - Vmit seconded the tnolion. If the Bill was lost there would be a tremendous melee, and its overwhelming consequences would bury all our sacred and most cherished institutions; but he feared no such catastrophe. Let the people swerve not from the path of duty—let them wait but a little longer, and that universal voice which resounds from east to west, and North to south, will be ans,vered by the passing of the Reform Bill, and the restoration of the British Constitution.—(Cheers.) Mr. HARKNESS moved the fourth resolution. Mr. SCOTT, hosier, seconded the resolution. PATRICK MILLAR, Esq. of Forrest, although not residing in the town, spoke as a burgess of Dumfries of long standing, and suggested a trifling , alteration in the wording of the petition. He stated that Earl. Grey was an originator of a Bill of Reform forty. r a ea n sro d rt d eo u pg t r . during his steh et l ir o me n gt g aajt e ds a is r i e bo e sf r c , ar ilpl i s tßi o b rni hearing tbAie E,s.e t h io a i d ne would ybee aerns sa ug t h co foot to erect a monument to Earl Grey, that the grateful feeling of the existing generation might be conveyed to succeeding ages, and as his Grace of Wellington had been well paid through the medium of the Buroughmongers, let this tribute solely belong to the people. Mr. JAMES BAILIEFF, a journeyman hatter, pushed through the crowd to the hustings and begged to be permitted to say a few words, though as he expressed it—" he had his apron 01)." He stated that as an unworthy advocate for the working classes, he would make a few observations on what had lately fallen from John Wilson Croker. That precious upholder of hmongery and corruption had characterized b the m N u v g orkin g people as being a most unsatisfied race, and unthankful for the blessings which they enjoyed. He would like to learn what the people should be so much satisfied with, or what were the blessings for which they were unthankful. Was it the late war—which had sent thousands and tens of thou sands to a premature grave in a foreign clime, and consigned their widows and orphans to all the pri vations of want and misery at home. Had they any reason to be satisfied that the National Debt had swell ed to 800 millions, and pressed like a mountain load on the energies of the state Had they any right to be thankful for the abuses and monopoly of the East India Company, which had circumscribed the enterprise of the people, and filled foreign pockets at the expense of our own ? Was there any cause (PiticE 70.) :or thankfulness when the Tory minions were pen iioned, and the poor weavers wrought early and lat. for six or seven shillings per week ? He conceived 'here was indeed little cause of gra'nlation for then; blessings of Mr. C•oker's naming. It had not bee; denied too, even by the boronghmongers themselves, that there were rotten parts in the Constitution; 1)1,, these wily pillars of corruption had characterised On rotten parts as beauties rather than blemishes, bu he (Mr. B,) would ask when any body ever heard of a man thriving the better with an ulcer on his body ? But the Right Rev. Bishop of Durham had said that the poor people had no right to think at all, and of course he would expect them just to toil For their betters, like locomotive engines; if this hy pothesis be correct, man is not accountable for his deeds, and perhaps the Right Rev. Prelates may be come responsible for the sins of their people. Mr. Bailieff then made his salaam, and retired from the hustings amid the waving of hats and the loud plau dits of the assemblage. Captain M‘DowALL rose and said—"l beg leave to propose three hearty cheers for our Patriotic King —King William the Fourth, long may he reign over us—and three cheers for Ea, I Grey." The Captain's proposition was agreed to in good earnest, and the shouts resounded from Dumfries shire to the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright. Mr. NPDIARMID stated that another important duty remained to be performed. The Mayor of Leeds, when requested tr. call a meeting, equivocated till the eleventh hour, and a most respectable and nu merous meeting was held without him. The Pro vost of Dumfries was, however,a man of a different stamp, and so far from being dragooned into acquies cence, complied at the very first intimation given to him; he (Mr. M'D.) therefore, proposed to return him a sincere vote of thanks ; the motion was se conded by Mr. Murray, and agreed to with great applause. The assemblage then left the ground, and the trades, with their banners floating, music playing, and accompanied by an immense concourse, pro ceeded by Loreburn-street, English-street, and High street, to the Trades' Hall, when three rounds of applause were voted to the Convenor, and all went their several ways.
