It is a melancholy fact, that thous: s fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unski lness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poiso Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with cilotehes on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise ;in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay . of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 28.9 d. and I Is. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases,—gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure 'in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety, The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, hut effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sure,. In that distressing state bf debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits,- excessive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic. cad glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, deprec-ion of spirits, and all diseases arising 'till - an ienpnre state of the blood. , it,-- --- , - V - s - Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and 'k • •,- ' a of ships, the more so, as they will keep good in all ~, ..- 4 ', ~ ' ny length of time. .' -.-.

It is likewise particularly calculated for ships' decks or bottoms, as it will last four times as long as common paint, and resist the worm and marine acid. It will preVent iron from rusting or blistering'with the sun, and cannot be rubbed off. This paint will cover equally well on rough or smooth boards, thereby preventing the expense of planing. It may be had in casks of 1121bs. or 561b5., with prepared oil and proper brushes for each cask. Its use is so simple that any labourer can lay it on when mixed. The public are particularly cautioned against an - Y- P . otour that may be imposed -upon them for Wilkinson's An ti-eorrosion Paint, and to order his particularly. J. H.

They continue to fit! up the cavities of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marinoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the tooth-ache, ar resting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally pre valent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It - affects indivi duals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons.

CITY, SATURDAY.—The anticipation of a resumption of spe cie payments by the banks in the States of New York has cer tainly inspired confidence among those of our merchants who are interested in the trade with the United States. It is not in our power, however, to communicate any extension of mercan tile transactions of a character to warrant the belief that " the tide has turned" in favour of a better state of things. The Chancellor of the Exchequer may, therefore, make up his mind, that not only will he have to provide for the loss of revenue by the stagnation of trade in the past financial year, but to have in hand a good surplus, ready to meet the deficiencies which must occur, until the close of the current year. By the advices received from New York to the 22d, we learn that the specie payments by the banks of the State and City of New York were fixed to take place on the 10th inst., notwith standing the recommendation of the General Convention that that step should not be adopted until the Ist of January next. It is understood, however, that the United States Bank will not follow this example, as by the letter of Mr. Biddle, to which re ference was made in a former report, that gentleman conceives it impolitic to do so, lest it should again become necessary to suspend. It is not by any means certain that the banks, the managers of which have, in order to protect their charter, de cided upon resuming cash payments, will be able to stand any very long draw upon them for the precious metals: The aggre gate returns of all the banks of the City and State of New York, made up to the Ist of last month, show that the circulation and discounts were 10,957,600 dollars, the loans and discounts 51,734,790 dollars, and the amount of specie held by all the esta blishineots was under 4,850,000 dollars. From the great influx of specie into America, it was, however, very probable, that by the 10th May, the stocks of specie would be increased to 5,000,000 or 5,500,000 dollars, and if it was intended to pay off notes only in gold or silver, the bank would accomplish the ob ject in view at least for some time. But it would be impossible for them to afford any accommodation in the way of discounts, and instead, as Mr. Biddle has stated in his letter, of any advan tage accruing to trade by the partial return to cash payments, a contrary effect would be produced, alike injurious to these establishments, as well as to the general commercial interests of America, and to those of this country. In the mean time, however, the planters, and those who have made advances upon produce in the United States, were rapidly increasing the " in debtedness" (to use a Jonathanism) of this country by extensive consignments of produce. By the returns received to the 20th ultimo, we find that the quantity of cotton exported from the United States up to that date, was 915,000 bales, against 720,690 hales in 1837, and exceeding the shipments in the same period of 1836 by not less than 295,000 bales. The variations in the prices of the English Securities have scarcely amounted to 1 per cent. this week. Business only to a small amount has been transacted, capitalists having been desirous of learning the contents of the Budget before they en gaged in any considerable business. The supply of money has been less plentiful this week, and the premium on Exchequer Bills has in consequence rater fallen, viz. from 80 to 79. In Consols both for Monev and Account, the prices have fluctuated since this day week to between 94 and 941%, and yesterday business was done at 94 buyers. For the new Account the mar ket value of Consols was per cent. better. As the transfer hooks will be closed shortly previous to the payment of the divi dends, an increased business may be looked for next week in the Money Stock. The price of the Reduced Three-and-a Half per Cents has fallen from 934 to 93, and of the New Three-and a-Halt per Cents from 102% to 1021. East India Stock has been flat at a fall from 2711 to 2701, and Bank of England Stock has declined from 205 1 to 2041. The premium upon India Bonds was yesterday 77, after having reached 83-4. Since the settlement of the Account, which took placeon Tuesday last, speculation has been principally confined to Spanish and Portuguese Bonds. The rise in the former Stock has been equal to 21 per cent., and in the former to about 21 per cent. There is no intelligence of any interest from Lisbon to account for the improvement in the latter Stock; but the condition of the Carlists in the north of Spain being very de plorable, it is not surprising that those sustaining the Queen's cause here should have deeply speculated in the Stock of that country for an advance in prices. The old Bonds have reached 221, and left off firmly yesterday at about that value. l'ortu guese Five per Cents, reached 38 on Wednesday, and the Three per Cents 26, but both were sold yesterday 1 / 2 to 1 per cent. cheaper.

Mexican have reached 29; Colombian, 28%; and Chilian, 30% 31. The tone of the market for Asphalte Shares is decidedly dull. A new company, 'under Mr. Cassell's patent, is announced, but unless we mistake not, his plan was tried at Kenniagtori-com mon, and wholly failed. The road was paved under his direc tion, in 1836, not a vestige of which now remains, except on the foot-path, and that is in a most miserable state. Other com panies are talked of. The price of Clandg,e's patent has been reduced to 11 or 9 pm.; of the Liverpool to 2', to 2 pin.; and of the United States to 3or 1 prn. The report of the mission of two directors of the Bastenne Bitumen Company (Mr. M. A. Goldsmid and Mr. J. Russell), to Paris, to conclude contracts with the proprietors of the Bastenne and Gaujac mines, has been printed, and it is favourable to the interests of the share holders. These shares have advanced from par to 21 or 1 pm. The Poloncean Shares have been in rather better request, at at from 21- to 21, or Ito 1 pin. The other Shares of this des cription have been all sold at depreciated prices. For Railway Shares the demand has been trifling. The London and Birmingham have been sold at 167 and 170, or 77 to 80 pm.; the North Midland at 41 or 6 pin ; the Man chester and Leeds at 351 or 15 2 pm.; the London and Brigh ton at 7% or 1 dis,; the Southampton at 431 or 61 dis.; the Blackwall at 6or 1 pm. • and the Birmingham and Derby at 71 or 224 dis. Several of the Shares just enumerated left off rather better yesterday afternoon. Bank Shares are looking more firm. The British North American have reached 24 or 4 pm., and the West India Bank 28 or 3 premium.

The Stock market has not been much influenced by the Chancellor's statement of the budget last night. Consols for Account realize 948, and for money the same. Exchequer Bills are at 69, and India Bonds at 79 premium The New Thre and-a-Half per Cents are worth 102%. In the Foreign Market, Spanish stock is quoted a shade lower. Portuguese New Bonds at 371, Brazil at 791, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents at 541. Shares are up to this hour at about the closing prices of yes terday evening. The market for Railway Shares is heavy. A firm in Spitalfields has received orders to snake her Majes ty's coronation dress. POST-01•FICE ABUSES.—The town of Wisbech pays three thousand pounds per annum for postage of letters! It appears that the actual cost to the government of the country in convey ing those letters to the various places where they are received is about fifty pounds; so that there is fifty pound s f or carry i ng the letters, and twenty-nine hundred and fifty pounds for tax ! Talk of taxes on knowledge. Is not this tax on knowledge, and one of the most injurious in its effects? It i s not , certa i n l y, a tax upon thinking, but it is a tax upon thought. No one shall communicate his thoughts to his friend at a distance without in curring a tax of six hundred per cent. Well may the people be semi -barbarous, when such regulations exist.—,Star in the East. ARTIFICIA L RUBIES !-Dr. Ellet, professor of chemistry in the South Carolina college, has been very successful in pro ducing artificial rubies and emeralds, so that Charlston is likely to rival the famous city of El Dorada, as described with such maghificence in Voltair's Candide. This Aladdin-like professor accomplished his task by means of pure alumine acted or. by the compound blow pipe, with crome as the colouring matter. Per fect rubies were produced by professor Ellet, which easily scratched an agate seal. The basis was pure alumine, and the colouring matter licbromat of potash. If the specimen be taken as soon as used, it is a ruby,—if the heat be continued the chromic acid is converted into oxyde of chrome, and an eme rald is the result?—New York Herald. It is confidently reported in the city that the preliminary steps to rebuilding the Royal Exchange have been taken. For seine tune parties have been making outside surveys of the buildings in the immediate neighbourhood of the site of the late Royal Exchange, and it is said that the Mercers' Company are to advance £150,000 for the building; and government £200,000 for the approaches. The buildings to be taken down to the westward will include the site of the Bank Coffee House, in Bank-buildings, Sweeting's Rents, and all the buildings eastward, including the west side of Freeman's-court, in Corn hill, and Threadneedle-street, opposite the North and South American Coffee House, leaving the church and churchyard of St. Bennett's Fink, which is to be enclosed with an open rail ing. - - - - - - CURING MEAT.—Meat should hang a few days, instead of being salted as soon as it comes front the market, though in very hot weather it may be necessary to salt it as soon as pos sible; begin by wiping dry, taking out the kernels and pipes, and filling the holes with salt.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, said that he could ❑ot listen to any proposition to alter the rate of interest for deposits in savings banks. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. (Private correspondence of the Morning Herald.) LESACA, MAY 13. The official communication which I have received this evening is highly interesting, and merits serious attention. It will be seen that, notwithstanding the hostile attitude of some Navarrese bat talions against the junta, the troops readily obey the order of Don Carlos, and show the greatest attachment and love towards him. Christinos endeavour to turn this insubordination to their account. But I now state, and that without the least hesitation, and time will prove I am correct, that at no one period of the civil war has the enthusiasm of the Carlist troops been greater than at the present moment; and never had the Christians a less pros pect of obtaining a footing in the provinces. The,troops complain of the junta, a body elected by the people. Don Carlos will, in all probability, dissolve the junta, and call upon the people to elect a fresh one. This done, all complaint will cease, and order and tranquility be restored. Within the last eight days Guergue and his division have shown great energy ; on the 7th the general took Las Banderas, a fort lying between Bilboa and the sea ; the Bth he was at Amurrio ; the 10th he got possession of Nanclares de Oca, near to Vittoria; and on the 11th he entered Estella. if you refer to the map you will find this to be a most surprising march. _ _ . . A letter from Paris, dated Thursday last, says, "An attache of the minister for foreign affairs left this city yesterday for Bor deaux ; he will go to Bayonne and the Basque provinces; his mission is, they say, of the highest importance, nothing less than putting an end to the civil war which desolates Spain. The minis ter is said to have asserted yesterdaay that the affairs of Spain would be terminated by the 25th of August." A letter from Estella, of the 12th, contains the following:— "On that morning Don Carlos, accompanied by his ,staff, and the Infante Don Sebastian, repaired on horseback to Dicastilio, where the Navarrese battalions were assembled, and harangued them on the subject of their duties and future prospects. The Prince's address was loudly cheered, and the men are stated to have shown great enthusiasm for his person and cause. The troops were thea.passed in review, and on the Prince's return to tho town he was met at the gates by the chief men in Estella, who, together with a number of the people, escorted him to his residence." The Times has the following :—" Advices from Bayonne of the 14th'inst., state that Don Carlos, who had resolved on retiring to Guipuscua, had. consented,. at the request of the junta of Navarre, to remain in this last province, where his presence; it was hoped, would allay the insurrectionary spirit among the Navarrese troops. Villareal, suspected of being the instigator of those movements, had been ordered off to Biscay. lie, however, declined obeying, and even defied the minister of Don Carlos to arrest him. General Diego Leon, with hisdivi sion, was within two leagues of Estella, watching the progress of those events." Letters from Madrid of the 9th instant, together with the journals of the same date, coincide in stating that it was Iriarte and not Espartero, who encountered Count Negri lately, and put him to the rout. We find that the unfortunate and dispersed Carlists, after all their defeats and di übbings, are left in force to the extent of 2000 men. In the Cortes, on the Bth, a debate took place, in which these trifling discrepancies made their appear ance; fur General Cordova, who is one of Espartero's bitterest foes, put forward a proposition signed by himself, the Count de las Navas, and one or two other leading men, demanding that thanks should be rendered to Gen. Iriarte, for his brilliant con duct in having pursued, encountered, and wholly destroyed the Negri faction, and in having reduced its numbers from 7000 to 2000. TURKEY. A Constantinople letter of the 26th ult. states that the Sultan, with the praiseworthy view of banishing venality from the ad ministration of his emp►re, had issued a new decree, in virtue of which the salaries of ministers, councillors' of state, and of every other public functionary, were doubled, and even trebled in some instances. The Sultan, in this decree, recommends to the servants of the crown to reduce their expenses, and live within their means, and menaces with the loss of their offices, and transportation for life those who should hereafter accept a bribe or present from persons soliciting favours. Troops con tinued to be marched from the capital into Asia Minor, and re ports of war were again afloat. Fetteh Ahmed Pasha embarked on the 26th for London to congratulate Queen Victoria in the name of his Sovereign, on the occasion of her coronation, Several Russian mercantile establishments were about being formed in the island of Sulima, at the mouth of the Danube, in violation of the treaty of Adrianople. GREECE. A letter from Athens, of the 29th ult. states, that the attempt made by the Greek government to enforce the conscription law i❑ Hydra had occasioned serious disturbances in that island. The people arrested and ill-treated the Governor, shipped him off for Poros, tore down his . proclamations, and rose in arms against the King's authorities. The minister of Marine, on being apprised of these occurrences, immediately sailed for Hydra, but the inhabitants would nut allow him to land, and refused to submit until the law of conscription was abolished, and a series of other grievances redressed. The island had been proclaimed under martial law, and at the date of the letter the minister of Marine bloekading it with all the vessels he could collect. BAHIA. By the commercial letters which have been received from Bahia, of the 24th of March, we have recived a full confirma tion of the taking, of that city by the imperial troops. It ap pears that there had been some hard fighting between the rebels and the royalists for three or four days prior to the 18th of March, when the latter suceeded in making thanaselves masters of the city. The rebels fought in the most determined manner, and set fire to a large portion of the city, which would have been totally destroyed but for the entry of the imperialists. Most of the rebel leaders were captured, and it is supposed that nearly all the rebels who laid down their arms were in prison. Some of these advices express the opinion that this decided success on the part of the legitimate government will give them the power of removing all disaffected persons, and thus enable the government to strengthen itself. The number killed and wounded on both sides was very considerable. However, order was in a great measure restored, and there had already com menced a partial resumption of brisines3. The exchange on this country was quoted at 32, and rather in demand. BUENOS AYRES. _ . By the Betsey Hall, Captain Croaker, which arrived on Fri day from Buenos Ayres, we have advices of the 25th of Febru ary. It will be recollected that in consequence of the refusal of the government to exempt the French residents front militia service, and of its obstinate determination to withhold from them the privileges which the Briti s h inhabitants enjoy, the F renc h co nsul withdrew - himself from the province, and protested against the exaction of its executive. The French admiral, on his arri val in a line-of-battle ship at Rio, despatched a corvette to ac quaint them with his intention that, should they persist in the rejection of the reasonable demands of the people he appeared to defend, he would blockade the place. A brig of war has gone to Monte Video fur the admiral. It is supposed that the Buenos Ayres government will speedily succumb. We have received Buenos Apres papers to the 25th of Feb. The Universal, published at Monte Video, says—" We have no news of the position of the anarchists. It is said that the town of Duranzno has been sacked by them." Private letters from Monte Video state, that 200 Indians of the army of the rebel have mutinied and dispersed over the coun try, committing great atrocities. The same letters state, that the demoralisation of Ribera's force is complete, and he has been obliged to retreat precipitately to the other side of the Rio Negro.

At first, there was a fight between Mr. Rivers, a lawyer, and Mr. Furguson, a phy sician, in which the latter was worsted. Shortly afterwards , Furguson, burning with the mortification of defeat, procured a rifle and shot Rivers dead; and, thereupon, a brother of Rivers, armed himself with another rifle, sought Furguson out, and, after wounding him severely with a rifle shot; rushed upon him with a pistol, and dispatched him at once.—New York ITeiad. WITCHCRAFT IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.—A poor youth, in the employ of a stable-keeper at HaridcroiS, a village near Brighton, on the London Road, having been rejected In his love-suit by a female servant iu the village, and driven bY disappointment into a fit of frenzy, was gravely pronounced 1?$" the neighbours to have been bewitched by the young person in question, and an old woman undertook his disenchantment ,for the fee of half-a-crown! Rows of pins, needles, knives, tc&- were accordingly stuck round the bedclOthes for the . purpose of impaling the fair enchantress on their elfinspears, should slie venture to approach his couch, and the farce was harried on until some persons possessed of common sense interfered; and had the poor fellow conveyed to a fit destination, a lunatic) asylum. SEIZURE OE CHURCH PROPERTY.—When I entered life it is astonishing how general was the disposition to seiie Upon church property. I mixed with various circles, and I could hardly go into any company where there was not a cler gyman present without hearing some such measure proposed. I am convinced that if the public feeling had not been altered by our seeing how soon every other kind of plunder followed the destruction of tithes in France, our clergy would by this time have lost their property.—Life of Wilberforce. No TEETOTALLER.—Last week, a person named Watson, e gardener, at Newton-on-Ouse, near York, undertook, for trifling wager, to moisten his stomach, with eight pints of ale, in ten minutes. He absorbed the heavy in eight minutes and a half, and then treated himself with an additional pint out of the money he had woh. He was not prepared for this feat by a long previous drought, having drunk pretty freely before he cora• menced his task. After all this, be ate a hearty sapper, and offered to do the same thing over gain if anyone would give hini the same opportunity. The challenge, however, was declined. ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this sort has created quite a feel ing of excitement in Falmouth. On Friday evening a you,eg lady, possessing a considerable fortune independent of her re spectable parents, left home under the pretence of receiving some money due to her. She did not return as soon as eipect ed, which induced a suspirinn-in-ber father's mind that she had eloped with somebody, but he could not conceive whtiiia, and he resolved to set off to Exeter in search of her. The 7Ofing lady had walked to the outside of the town, where the guard of the Exeter coach proved to be the Lothario in waiting, who handed her into a chaise and drove her to Truro, returning in time to take his place as a guard, and promising to take her on to Ele; ter by the Coach. The father took his place on the outside 0 the coach, with WS future son-in-law as guard. On arriving et Truro the guard (who was on his guard) exclaimed at the after shutting the door with a slam, " A lady from Fahnouth getting out !" The father hastened down, and, running to the inn, exclaimed, "It is my daughter!" The cunning guhro, called out to the coachman, " All right !" who drove on to the town's end, where he took up the lady and conveyed her to Eieter, where the guard was made both rich and happy o n the following morning soon after eight o'clock. About eleven{ O'clock the father arrived, but too late to prevent the union 0. his child with what he considered a most unequal match.-- Exeter Flying Post.

STATE OF THE POTTERI ES.-We are sorry to learn that the trade of the potteries is still in a very depressed state, and little hope is entertained of a good trade, as for as America is con cerned, for the present year.

Notwithstanding all that ha s been done in that populous district (the potteries) by parochie: aid, public subscriptions, and private charity, we are assu re ?: there is still a great amount of severe suffering. Notwith stand ing all the efforts which have been made, it affor ds us g reat pleasure to learn that the springs of benevolence are not yet dried up.—Stafford paper. • ve a carnival and public ball, upon a nevi and mo_s_ June, Arrangements are in progress of being made for e scale, at the Rotunda Gardens, Dublin, on the 28th of willi h o b n e o t u h r r o o w f h n e o r p A e l n a j o e n s t t y b ' I c o o c r e o a n s a i o t i n o . a T he whole h c o a l r e v i s v u a i of ro om s take om place in the gardens, where arrangements will be made for dancing and refreshment as in the continental fetel: The following singular compoiition was last week put into the hands of a gentleman of thiii town, in London, by a lady who alighted from her carriage apparently for the purpose of distributing them generally to the passers by:—" As through the streets the wicked go, they shall be struck dead.
