The treatment they adopt is the re sult of twenty-five years' extensive and successful practice in London. The most inveterate cases of Syphilis eradicated in eight or nine days, and cases of a slight nature in two or three, at a moderate expense, unaided by the dangerously indiscriminate use of mercury. The cure effected without confinement or hindrance from business Letters (cost paid) enclosing a remittance for medicines • will be answertan by return; and Country Patients corresponded with until recovered.

The recent case of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of Poland, is one of the most convincing proofs of their great and extra ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton-Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late Majesty, and Rector of Cripplegate, London, who, with a spirit of the kindest humanity, voluntarily gave his testimony to their happy effects.

ROMAN CATHOLIC' CHAPEL, JAMAICA. Kinfiton, Nov. 29, 1839. At a numerous MEETING of the MEMBERS of the Ro- MAN CATHOLIC CHURCH., bold at the Holy Trinity Chapel, on Tuesday evening, Nov.', 1839, • His Honour the ATTORNEY-GENERAL in the Chair. His Honour the Attorney- General having in a most brilliant speech stated the object for which the meeting was called, J. W. Seymour, Esq., mo',led, seconded by Mr. John Doug las, that a Committee be argointed to prepare and bring in re solutions to be submittf,t to the meeting, which was unani mously carried. The Chairman appointed R. Rout, John Harvey, L. Des gonttes, F. Egan, J. W. S eymour, Ri chard Daly, J ohn Bran day, John Esec i dery, J. B. Sorapure, Charles Duquesnay, J. Duverger, Clarke, F. Labiche, and James Cahill, Esqrs., LCorarnittee for the above purpose, who withdrew, and on their return submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to. Ist. That the meeting held in High Holborn-street on Tuesday the 19th November instant. purporting to be an as sembly of the British and Native Roman Catholics of this City, called together with the consent of the Very Rev. Mr. Fernan dez, bears on its front the stamp of twofold misrepresentation ; as in the first place the Very Rev. Mr. Fernandez was never applied to on the subject ; and secondly, it was not attended by snore than four or five British Roman Catholics, so that its re solutions cannot for a moment be deemed expressive of the feelings of that body, as Mr. Shapnon would wish to have it supposed. 2 . d. That whilst this meeting deplores the necessity of its being called together to defend our Rev. Vicar Apostolic from the unmerited imputations which have been cast upon him, it must and doth hereby declare, that it is the duty of all true Roman Catholics to bow to the lawful authority of the Church in all its spiritual matters, and that those who do not do so are unworthy of belonging to our sacred religion. 3d. That this Meeting is fully cognizant that the imputations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, as published in Saturday's Gazette, against the Very Rev. B. Fernandez, are utterly false and groundless. 4th. That a deputation be appointed to wait on our Vicar Apostolic with an address, and also to acquaint him, so far from the respect, veneration, and esteem, in which he has always been held by his flock being lessened by the late foul attack on him, that this meeting regards him, if possible, with stronger feelings of affection than before, and that never on any previous occasion did he possess more fully their unlimited confidenco in his zeal for the promotion of peace, charity, and religion, amongst all classes of his congregation. sth. That even were the charges against the very Rev. Be nito Fernandez true, which they are not, the insinuations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, " that the Committee of St. Patrick and St. Martin's Church were playing the game of the above Very Rev. Gentleman " is utterly contrary to truth, as they have used, and will continue to use, every exertion to pro rure the presence of Pastor-. or the United King•dom,...tways, however, refusing to accept of, or obey any, save those who are duly recognised b y our Right Rev. Vicar Aposto!ic Benito Fer nandez. 6th. That the entering the names of three official characters, namely, the then Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Attor ney-General, for higher subscriptions than they had signed for, was the act of the Rev. Mr. Murphy and the late universally respected Major Dillon, 64th Regiment ; that the then Go vernor and the Attorney-General on seeing the list of sub scriptions (printed by Mr. Shannon) remonstrated and re quested the Committee to insert against their names the exact sums they subscribed, which was not done by the Rev. Mr. Murphy and Major Dillon, the acting members of the Com mittee, they not thinking it a matter of sufficient importance to make a contradiction of the subscription list necessary—especi ally as it is usual in England to put down persons of rank for larger sums than they actually subscribe. 7th. That the conduct of Wellwood Hyslop, Esq., is of such a character, that the Roman Catholics of this city cannot con ceal from themselves how improper it is to admit him to act in the affairs of their body, and that he be requested to abstain from all interference with their future proceedings. Bth. That this meeting pronounces the third Resolution of Thomas Shannon to be destitute of " Truth," for these rea sons—First, because the Holy Trinity Chapel in this City was erected in 1809, and opened for Divine Service in 1810 by the Rev. J. Rodrigues, a Portuguese Clergyman, who was one of the principal founders, and Don Carlos Estero, a rich Spanish merchant of this city, who exercised his influence with his countrymen and with other merchants of this city of all reli gions, and induced them to contribute with that literality which to this day , is one of the most laudable traits in the cha racter of the Kingston gentry. Secondly, because it is not true that the Catholic congregation has suffered for the want of religious instruction ; c.n the contrary, the zeal of the Very R ev . Vicar and of the Rev. Messieurs Duquesnay (a native of this city) Dnpeyron (a Frenchman), and Cotham (an English ' man) in imparting religious instruction, is well known to the Catholic community. Resolved —That the above Resolutions and Address to be presented to the Very Rev. Vicar Apostolic, be published in the " Morning Journal," " Royal Gazette," " St. Jago Ga zette," " Gleaner," and such of the English Newspapers as his Honour the Chairman may direct. (Signed) D.

ROUX, The deputation i n waited on the Very Rev. Vicar u t t h a e t o n Cha i r hp.:v\ n g Apos tolic, on Wednesday the 27th instant, presented the following Address:— To the Very Reverend Benito Fernandes, Vicar Apostolic, Szc., Sze. Very Reverend Father—Deputed by a numerous and respec. table meetin g of trite Roman Catholics, many of whom have, for al dog series of years, been under your immediate spiri , ual direction—we-come to express the deep sorrow your congrega tion have felt, and still feel, at the most extraordinary speech delivered by Mr. Thomas Shannon, at the St. Patrick's Chapel, on the 19th day of this instant month. We shall not comment long on the false, garbled, and slan derous statements contained in the speech alluded to, as part of them can be denied by incontrovertible facts, and the rest has excited the indignation, not only of your congregation, but also of all honest men of different persuasions. Indeed, the author and publisher of such libellous statements has attempted to apply an antidote to the wound he ha s i n fli c t e d on y ou , i n pay ing a well-merited tribute of respect to you r p r i va t e v i r t ues an d character as a Christian Minister, and for your pious and ex emplary conduct as the pastor of a Spanish congregation, as if your eongregation was solely composed of Spaniards, whereas he knows that the contrary is the case. This shows the animus of the man. 6th. We have thought proper to make these few prefatory remarks, and we now beg, Very Rev. Fathe r , t o assure you gas you shall continue in your ch arac t er o f \ i car all true Roman Catholic s s h a ll cons id er and obey thatAp Apostolic, as tol l i o c n you, as the only spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Chapels which now are, or may hereafter be, erected and built within the limits of your diocese. Allow us, Very Rev. Father, to conclude with the most sincere and fervent wishes of us, and of your congregation ge nerally, that the Almighty may be pleased to grant you happy days, and to preserve your life a s p rec i ous to your friends and co ngregation. We'are, with great respect, Very Rev. Father, your most humble devoted Sons in J. C. (Signed) R. Roux, Francis Egan, Joan Harvey, J. W. Seymour, Richard Daly, John Escoffery, J. B. Sorapure, Chas. Duquesnay, J. B. Duverger, F. Labiche, Wm. Roux, C. R. Nelson, M. Mettos, Peter Constantine, P. L. Duquesnay, John White, Emanuel Leon, John Auvry, Alexander Clermont, and J. Douglas. The Very Reverend Vicar Apostolic, on receiving the fore going Address, was pleased t o re t urn t h e f o ll ow i ng answer : - y ou , my dear friends, mu s t b e we ll ware o f t h e p l easure w ith which your kind Address literally overpowers me. .< As a man, 11'01 grateful to you for your expressions of at tachment, but, as a minister of Christ and Vicar Apostolic, I am incomparably more delighted with your respect for our holy religion, which has been insulted in my person. Though un worthy of the situation to which the holy See has thought proper to raise me, yet I canno t di scover i n t h e mot i ves b y which I have been hitherto actuated anything but sincere de si:es of advancing mutual peace amongst the Catholics, the salvation of souls, and the glory of God. Rest assured, that SO long as I shall hold the onerous office Jf Vicar Apostolic, I shall continue to promote, to the best of „y power, the . happiness and we lf are o f t h ose comm i tte d t o m y !barge. To this, my time and life are devoted; in this con sists Gentlemen, I again thank you for your address."

These, according to his calculation, amount to 582., and reckoning their average value at 5001. the whole might be purchased for 30,0001. But Mr. Forbes here reckons without his holt. The average value of a single presentat ea worth 5001. and does he suppose the patrons, backed as they will be by the numerous Peers and Commoners in Parliament, and above all by the heads of the Church, will give up their right for such a trifle? We doubt if this Government or any other could carry this measure, or any one like it through Parliament. AWFUL DEATH.—On Thursday last, as Wil liam Nash, bricklayer, of Leighton Buzzard, was sinking a well at Chelsea, on a piece of ground on which he intended to build him a house, when about fifteen feet deep the earth gave way, and he was buried in the mass. Every assistance was imme diately rendered, but it was an hour before be was extricated. Of course, life was then quite extinct. The deceased was a good, sober, and industrious tradesman, and generally respected. He has left a widow and a family of young children. - CHARLES THE .1 m WELFTH.— IWO Or three applicants arc in treaty for the purchase of this celebrated horse.

THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.—The happiest pictorial illustrations of this gratifying event we have ever seen in a newspaper, appeared in Belts Life in London yesterday. They comprise five engravings of the interior of the Chapel and Palace, at the most interesting periods of the ceremony, together with medallion portraits of the Queen and Prince Albert, with allegorical accompaniments, presenting a unity of design and effect rarely produced in such attempts. The deseription of the wedding ceremonies is complete, and prettily relieved by appropriate vignettes. ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH.—( From a Correspond ent. )—This beautiful little bathing-place, ever foremost in loyalty and attachment to our beloved Sovereign, and in kind ness and charity to the poor, has sustained its well-earned re putation on this exhilarating and soul-stirring occasion. Up wards of 600 poor men, a like number of poor women, and 1,000 children, partook of the bounty of their wealthier neigh. bours, and with beaming countenances, and gladdened hearts, testified their love and affection ,for their youthful Sovereign and her Consort. The poor, too, in the Union Workhouse, were net forgotten, but were abundantly supplied with roast beef, plum-pudding, and ale. There was anything but joy de picted in the countenances of the Tories ; but, to do them jus. Ste some ef them were pretty liberal with their contributiens. '''`'THE BARON GERAMB'S PILGRIMAGE TO PALESTINE.—This is a singular work, full of a strange a n d strong interest, partly from the nature of the scenes to which it relates, but chiefly from the character, habits, and past career of the narrator. Fancy such an individual as the celebrated Baron Geramb making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and re cording his feelings, observations, and adventures during the course of the journey, and the occasional residence at various remarkable spots connected with it, and the reader will readily believe that the result must be as full of entertainment as of novelty and strangeness. Nor are these in the least impaired, but rather increased, by the sarong and evidently sincere reli gious feeling which pervades the volumes throughout, and which will give them so strong an interest with the religious portion of the community. The volumes are, indeed, the most curious and interesting of their kind that we have lately met with. They are written in the form of familiar letters, addressed to a friend, and may be looked upon as the first written record ever made public, of the actual daily observations and feelings of a religious pilgrim to the Holy Sepulchre, and the other most _famous scenes of holy writ.--Naval and Military Gazette. The Hull Advertiser says, a beautiful pair of shoes, made by Mr. W. Norris, of Junction•street, are in tended to be presented to her Majesty. (From the Nottingham Review.) POST-OFFlCE.—Previous to the departure of Colonel Rolleston, M.P., from this town to the metro polis, a number of gentlemen represented to him the serious injury the commerce of the town sustained by the late arrival of the London mail in Nottingham, and the Gallant Colonel promised to make a personal application to the Postmaster-General, as memorials and private letters seemed to have no effect. The following is the copy of a letter from Col. Rolleston, to Thomas Moore, Esq., upon the subject : " DEAR MOORE,—I have soon Lord Lichfield respecting the Nottingham post. His Lordship is quite aware of the great inconvenience to which the mercantile and other in. terests are subjected by the present arrangement, and de sires me to say, that an alteration will be made in a few weeks, or even shorter time, which he doubts not will be perfectly satisfactory. Should nothing be definitively set tled very soon, I will again press the subject. " Believe riio to remain; " Dear Moore, very faithfully, yours, (S'gned) "LANCELOT ROLLESTON." THE POST-OFFICE AGAIN.—A tradesman in this town, on paying a visit to Sutton-in-Ashfield, saw an evening edition of The Sun delivered at ten o'clock in the morning of Tuesday last. The letters and papers to Sutton and Mansfield are brought by the Birming ham railway, and then forwarded by a gig mail. An edition of the same paper was not to be obtained through the Post-office in Nottingham, until nearly two hours after the time it was delivered a village 14 miles north of Nottingham. POST-OPFICE.—The public are not yet aware of the facilities afforded by the new Post-office regulations. Last Saturday, we sent nine boxes of Whelpton's Pills to DownpatricL-, in Ireland, in a letter through the Post-office, for the postage of which we paid Bd. On the same morning we received a Post-office order for the amount, which cost the party sending the order only Gd. A sovereign or half-sovereign may be stitched in a thin sheet of letter paper, and sent to any part of the United Kingdom, by merely paying one penny there upon at the Post-office.

GREAT TROTTING MATCII NEAR GRAVESEND.--The celebrated Mr. Burke undertook the extraordinary feat, on Monday, of trotting thirty miles in one hour and thirty minutes. He was to have as many horses as he liked for the occasion for this difficult undertaking. The match was made for twenty sovereigns, and came off on the ground chosen as the hest that could be selected ; it was the London road below and near to Gravesend. At .he ap pointed time he appeared, and the throng assembled towitness this wonderful undertaking was immense; numerous Fetswere laid against time, and great was the anxiety on all sides for the termination. Every facility was given to Mr. Burke to ccmmence, and his horses were placed at different dis tances; as he required, and the ground was kept thoroughly clear from all intruders; but none there were, as all seemed anxious to give fair play on both sides. The sig nal was given, and off he started, evidently feeling confi dent of success, and be, like a thorough good sporting character, took pattern of the old motto, " Slow and steady wins the race." He continued to go at a very steady and winning pace for about the twentieth mile, when it was thought he was getting rather slack in his movements. Ho continued at that rate for some time, and extra bets were laid that he would lose, and many were caught to bet, but the old hands knew the bottom of Mr. Burke, and the power he possessed from his long experience in sporting affairs. He accomplished the undertaking in one hour and twenty-eight minutes, being two minutes under the time allowed. On his arrival at the winning post he was re ceived with tremendous cheering from the multitude. as sembled, and the hearty congratulations of his friends and backers. We have little hesitation in saying that we think he could undertake a more difficult match, from the manner in which he rode, and being perfectly fresh at the termina tion of this wonderful feat. Mr. Burke has some good horse-flesh of his own, but through the kindness of Mr. Mayhew, and other numerous friends, he had the opportu nity of selecting some of the best horses suited for the occasion, by chick he was able to accomplish the under taking, as his own cattle never would 'nave been able to have performed the task, and he was unwilling to run the risk of not only losing his own money, but the various bets that were laid during the race. It i s expecte d t hi s under taking will lead t o further ,ines being made, as a similar affair is on the tapir, and expected to come off during next week. —Sunday 7 insas, STEEPLE CIIAsa , MAN AGAINST HORSE.—The race be tween an old Isanter called George I V., belonging to Mr. Griffiths, and Cootes, the celebrated runner, took place on Monay at Hyde Park, Sheffield ; there was an im menso number of people to witness it, including most of the sporting gents in the neighbourhood. The start took place at a quarter before four ; Cootes took the lead ; the horse refusing his first leap, he was again tried, but again refused. It was then discovered that the rider was rather ovorweiglited, not with shot, out with heavy wtt. He was ordered to dismount, when his spirited owner mounted him, and got him over; he went away at a good pace, but the horse was too hot, and much on his mettle. and again refused his leaps. By this time Cootes had made considerable progress, and was full half a mile ti-head. With a little bit of good jockeyship and management, Griffiths got his horse pretty well over the next ten or twelve leaps, taking them very cleverly; be was, in the ninth round, very near his opponent, and it was very clear if he went on he must win ; however, he again refused his leaps, and Cootes made way fast, and ha the thirteenth round, or about four miles and a quarter. Cootes was full three quarters of a mile before him in the course. Eleventh round he slipped at a leap, and with difficulty pulled over the bar, laming himself so badly, that, after taking three or four more leaps, Griffiths found it impossible for the horse to perform the remainder of the distance, consequently he gave in. Cootes went the whole distance, and was proclaimed the winner. Every one appeared most terribly dissatisfied. Everything went off tamely.

I was induced from recommendation to try your Invisible Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of worship, most distinctly ; and in consequence of the great advantage which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you, and I am happy to state that their report is similar to mine, most favourable. The Spectacles and Hand-glass which you have sent me are very excellent, and suit my sight precisely, and surpass anything of the kind I have ever tried ; the trans parency of which is so brilliant, that although I have passed any 86th year, the 22d of May last, yet they enable me to read, &e., by candle-light with the greatest ease and comfort to myself.-- Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks, and remain your most obedient servant, HENRY COWPER. 224 of June , 1839. CoRN-LAws.—A public meeting was held at Longtown, on Friday evening last, in a room b e l ong i ng to Mr. William Baxter, for the purpose of agreeing to a petition for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. William Corrie was called to the chair ; when a petition was unanimously agreed upon, to be sent to both Houses of Parliament. The petition has since received about 500 signatures. When we state that Longtown is principally the property of Sir James Graham, and adjoins his far- famedNetherby Estate, it will be admitted that this looks something very like rebellion in thti Carlisle Journal.
