It is n melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve-' Demi' Diseaie, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches 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 inelancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

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 withont the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of. diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease . has made its appearan c e it ac t s as a certa i n pre, entative. by nerving the complaint effectually and secretly.

The mineral not only converts a mere shell into.a sotind and useful tooth, hut 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 (ruin 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.

WILKINSON'S ANTI-CORROSION PAINT. it R. WILKINSON, Manufacturer to her Majesty, the tP • Hon. Board of Ordnance, the lion. East India Company, Corporation of London, &c., begs particulaidy to recommend this valuable and economical Paiut, as the Most effectual cover ing for all exterior purposes of painting on wood, iron, copper, and lead, as a preservative; on tiling to represent slates; and on stuccoed or Roman cement fronts or pillars, to represent stone. It is likewise particularly calculated for ships' decks or bottoms, as it.will last four tithes 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 112Ibs. 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 any colour that may be imposed upon them for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, and to order his particularly. J. R.

Tuoinsort hoped the hon. member for Dudley would withdraw the bill he had on the orders for coininittal With re spect to the protection of British manufactures. (He (Mr. P. Thomson) had paid great attention to it, and had prepared clauses which would meet the concurrence of that hun. member, and those who were interested in the bill. Mr. HA wxEs, on the pledge of that right hon. gentleman that he would himself introduce the substituted bill with the clause alluded to, withdrew the bill. The house then went into committee on the small debts (Scotland) bill. On clause 2 being moved, which raises the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace to debts of the amount of £8 68.8 d. The LORD ADVOCATE objected to so high an amount. He moved, as an amendment, that £5 be the limit of theirjurfs diction. Sir W. RAwE supported the clause. Mr. F.

The other clauses were then agreed to, after one or two amendments had been negatived, and the bill reported to the house, and ordered to be taken into further consideration that day week.

There was no improve ment in the price of opium at Canton, on the 27th of January, the tendency being downwards; and with regard to cotton, both Bengal and Bombay were very depressed. Her Majesty's 63d Regiment hdd been ordered over to Moulinien, and four native corps were to hold themselves in readiness to embark from Madras for Rangoon at a moment's warning: this looks very much like war with Burtnah."Fhe English mail of Decem ber (and early in January via France) reached Canton on the 6th March.

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 thc 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 heroine necessary to suspend. It is not by any means certain that the banks, the managers of which have, in order to protect their chatter, de cided upon resuming cash payments, will be able to stand any very lung 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 b 1,734,790 dollars, and the amount of specie held by all the esta blishments 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 iu 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 us 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 '2oth ultimo, we find that the quantity of cotton exported from the United States up to that date, was 915,000 bales, against 720,690 bales 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 or 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 Money and Account, the prices have fluctuated since this day week to between 94 and 945 N, an d y es t er d ay , business was done at 94 buyers. For the new Account the mar ket value of Consols was 5 per cent. better. As the transfer hooks will be closed shortly previous to the payment of the divi dends. an increased business may be lactked for nekt Week in the Money Stock. The price of the Reduced Three-and-a Half per Cents has fallen irons 931 to '93, and of the New Three-and a-Half per Cents from 102 X to 1025. East India Stock has been fiat at a fall from 2711 to 2704, and Bank of England Stock has declined froth '2051 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 p . rincipally 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 surptising that those sustaining the Queen's cause here should have deeply speculated in the Stock of that country for an advance its prices. The old Bonds have reached 221, and left off firmly yesterday at about that value. Portu guese Five per Cents. reached 38 ou Wednesday, and the Three per Ceuta 26, but both were sold yesterday )4 to 1 per cent. cheaper. The revolt in Bahia having been put down, Brazilian Stock has advanced upwards of 3% per cent.; the highest price obtained has been 79%.

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 Kennington-coin- 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 Claridge's patent has been reduced to 11 or 9 pin.; of the Liverpool to '2l to 1 pm.; and of the United States to 3or 1 pm. '1 he report of the mission of Ritmnpn inempany (Mr. M. A. Goldsmid and Mr. J. Russell), to Paris, to conclude contracts with the proprietors of the Bastenne and Gaujac mines, has been piloted, 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 1 pm.; the London and Brigh ton at 77 or 1 dis,; the Southampton at 431 or 61 dis.; the Blackwall at 6or 1 pm. ; and the Birmingham and Derby at 71 or 22 dis. Severa 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 pin., and the West India Bank 28 or 3 premium. HALF-PAST TwEr.vE.—We have accounts from Buenos Ayres this morning, which state that the demoralization of Riberas' forces was complete, and that he had been obliged to retreat precipitately to the other side of the Rio Negro.

Portuguese New Bonds at 37i, Brazil at 79k, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents at 5 , 11. 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 make 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 pounds for carrying 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 is not, certainly, a tax upon thinking, hilt it is a tax upon thought. No one shall cothrhunicate 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. ARTIFICIAL. 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 hit task by means of pure alumine acted on by the compound blow pipe, with crome as th e co l our i ng matter. Per fect:rubies were produced by professor Ellet, which easily scratched an agate seal. The basis was pure alumine, and the colouring matter lichromat 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 au 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 some time 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 west ward 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 Threadneedie-sheet, opposite the North and South American Coffee House, leaving the church and churchyard of St. Bennett's Fiuk, 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 from the market, though in vet y 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. Beef and pork, after being examined and wiped, should be sprinkled, and then hung to drain a few hours, before they are rubbed with salt. Rub in half the quantity of salt evenly, and, after a day or two, the remainder. Turn the meat every day, keep it covered with the pickle, and if wanted soon rub it daily. The brine, if boiled up, skimmed. and used cold,. will serve for more than one parcel of meat. Flat ribs and brisket of beef should be jointed to let in the salt, which should be well rubbed into each piece. In frosty weather. warm the salt. Unless the meat be fresh it can ci not be kept by salting; neither will salt recover stall tainted meat.

(Private correspondence of the Morning Herald.) LKSACA, 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 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 Christinos a less pros pect of obtaining a footing in the provinces. The,troops complain of the junta, a body elected by toe 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 aud tranquility be restored. Within the last eight days Guergue aud 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 Nauclares 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 attaché 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 front Estella, of the 12th, contains the following:— "On that morning Don Carlos, accompanied by his staff, and the Infante Don Sebastian, repaired tin horseback to Dicastilio, where the Navarfese battalions were assembled, and harangued them on the subject of their duties and future prospects. The Prince's address was loudly cheered, anti the men are stated to have shown great enthusiasm for his person and cause. The troops were then passed in review, and on the Prince's retain to the 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 :—"Adviccs from Bayonne of the 14th inst., state that Don Carlos, who had resolved ou retiring to Guipuscoa, had consented, at the request of the junta of Navarre, to rvnain i❑ this last province, where his presence, it •was hopea, wouiu array unanna .the Navarrese troops. Villareal, suspected of being the instigator• of those movements, had been ordered off to Biscay. He, however, declined obeying, and even defied the minister Of Don Carlos to arrest him. General Diego Leon, with his.divi sitm, 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 statinc , 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 drubbings, 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; for 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 empire, bad issued a new decree, in virtue of which the salaries of ministers, councillors of state, and of every other public functionnry, 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 'nieuaces 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 in 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 not 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 bluekading it with all the vessels he could collect. BAH lA. By the commercial letters which have been received from, Bahia, of the 2.lth 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 snaking thamselves 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 business. 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 or the 25th of Febru ary. It will be recollected that in consequence of the refusal of the government to exempt the French residents from militia service, and of its obstinate determination to withhold rout them the privileges which the British inhabitants enjoy, the French consul 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 be appeared to defend; he would blockade tha place. A brig of war has gone to Monte Video for 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 uo news of the position of the anarchists. It is said that the tosen 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 Ribeta's force is complete, and he has been obliged to retreat precipitately to the other side of the Rio Negro.

On the southerly end of this promenade the New Baths are being erected. The land has been granted to the company by Sir 11. B, llo,Yhton and his lady.

It is with a view of counteracting this ob jection that the present company has been formed, and an al most general opinion prevails as to the prosperity of such an undertaking. The building, under the architectural ability of Clayton, will be a great ornament to the village. Long be fore eleven o'clock, the hour appointed for the ceremony, the neig,hbourhood of the intended site was crowded witayast num bers of ladies, consisting of all the beauty and far,gion or the place, and the visitors who had arrived during, the past week.

A BARGAIN FOR AN OLD QuEeist.—The Dowager Queen of Naples is said to be on the point of marrying a Neapolitan, only 28 years of age.

Rows of pins, needles, knives, &c- were accordingly stuck round the bedclothes for the purpose at impaling the lair en c h an t ress on th e i r e lfi n spears, shoul d s he venture to approach his couch, and the _farce was carried on until souse persons possessed of common" sense interfered, and had the poor fellow conveyed to a fit destination, a lunatic asylum. SEIZURE OF CHURCH PROPERTY.—When I entered life it is astonishing how general was the disposition to seize 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 bad nut 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 lust their property.—Life of Wilberforce. No TeirroTar.Lee.—Last week, a person named Watson, a gardener, at Newton-on-Ouse, near York, undertook, for h trifling wager, to moisten his stomach, with eight pints of ale, in ten minutes. He absorbed the heavy in eight minutes and half, and then treated himself with an additional pint out of the money he had won. He was not prepared for this feat by a bong previous drought, having drunk pretty freely before be cote meuced his task. After all this, he ate a hearty sapper, and offered to do the same thing over gain if anyone would give him the same opportunity. The challenge, however, was decliued. ELOPEMENT.—Au OW of this sort has created quite a feel ing of excitement in Falmouth. On Friday evening a young 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 expect ed, which induced a susTicion in her father's mind that she bad eloped with somebody, birtte could not conceive whom, and he resolved to set off to Exeter in search of h er . Th e young 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, an d p rom i s i ng to ta k e h er on to E xe ' ter by the coach.

The father hastened down, and, running to the inn, exclaimed, "It is my daughter !" The cunning gu ard 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 Exeter, 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 of his child with what he considered a most unequal maid:l.- - Exeter Flying Post. RESOLUTION To BE SlLENT.—Madame Regnier, the wife of a law ,officer at Versailles, while talking in the presence of numerous party, dropped some remarks which were out of place, though not very important.

A p re tended theft was com m itt e d i n h er presence, in the hope o f taking her by suprise, but with ou t e ff ect, and nothing could induce her to speak.

The fate of the bill under the consideration of the legislature of that country will, we under stand, operate very favourably or otherwise ou commerce, as the question may be determined. Notwithstanding all that has been done in that populous district (the potteries) by parochial aid, public subscriptions, and private charity, we are ass ured there is still a great a mo u n t of severe suffering.

AID TO CONFESSION,—A Portuguese cobbler used to beathis wife most unmercifully a few days before his attendance on his confessor. A neighbour remonstrated on his cruelty, and in quired into the cause of it.
