SECRET MALADIES.
Treatment of CII. ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of
Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and
natieaal rewards. No. 21, Rue llontorgeuil, Paris.
Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time
have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed. It was for
a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adopted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this
problem by the discovery of a node of treatment at slice simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe In all seasons
and in all climates.

THE BIRMINGHAM DEPUTATION
On Friday evening a public meeting was held at
the Town-hall, Birmingham, to receive the report of
the deputation to Lord John Russell.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, M.P., reported the -result of
their interview with the Premier, that result remind-
ing him of the passage—
" The King of France, with fifty thousand men,
Marched up the hill, and then marched down again."
Mr. J. C. SALT, in a long address, declared that if
Ministers did not do their duty they would worry the
lives out of them. He would respect and pay proper
deference to their high position, but he would tell
them such truths as would make them have a care
how they pressed the people too far.
Mr. Mason, Mr. Muntz, and Mr. Spooner briefly
addressed the meeting.
Subsequently the following resolution, which con-
tains an epitome of the views held by the Birmingham
theorists, was agreed to :
"That the unexampled commercial ruin which has
made England a spectacle of shame and wonder to
all nations, has not been consequent on any undue
speculation on the part of the people, but has been
caused by the cruel and fraudulent laws which regu-
late her monetary system, and which are in their
nature a warrant of ruin against every enterprise of
industry. The pretence of these laws was to fix the
value and regulate the issues of money, their effect
has lseen to cause ruinous fluctuations both in its
value and quality. When gold money is abundant,
money is made still more abundant by issues of
paper money ; when gold is scarce, money is made
still scarcer by the withdrawal of paper money. In
the first place, industry is tempted and forced into
enterprise; in the next case, it is involved in certain
ruin by the withdrawal of the very foundation on
which it stood. A fraudulent and fluctuating
standard of value, an immense superstructure of
paper on a narrow and shifting gold basis, are the
elements of our system and the sources of our ruin.
The attempt to prop up this system, and to limit
unduly the issue of money, by exacting highly
usurious interests, cannot fail to break down the
value of property, by compelling sales, and the lifting
the interest of money higher than the profits of trade,
must necessarily stop the employment of labour and
destroy the means of existence of the labourer. Thus
()Ilea wahhisshmeuadlde

thewh
must be no toleration, no indemnity. That memo-
rials be forthwith prepared to her Majesty the Queen,
and a petition to the House of Commons, praying for
present large and liberal relief, and for full inquiry
into the monetary system, with a view to its perma-
nent regulation. That the Birmingham Currency
Reform Association be requested to communicate
with Liverpool and other commercial towns, with a
view to obtain their co-operation. That this meeting
hereby pledges itself, individually and collectively,
to raise and place in the hands of the Currency Asso-
ciation the sum of 1,0001., towards defraying the ex-
penses of the association."
The resolution having been passed, the meeting
separated.

COMMITTAL OF TWO MEN FOR

STABBING TWO GAMEKEEPERS.

Arthur and Reginald Bristow, two brothers, well
known desperate poachers and thieves, were finally
examined before W. Bust and G. Gray, Esqs., local
magistrates at Guildford, on a charge of having, on
the 11th of September last, feloniously stabbed
George Target and William Martin, two gamekeepers
to Mr. R. Frogley, a gentleman residing at Bow
Barnes, East Horsley (near Ripley), Surrey, with
intent to murder them. From the evidence gone into,
it appeared that on Saturday, the 11th of September
lass, the two keepers, while watching some snares
which they had previously discovered, were attacked
by the two prisoners ; they did not interfere with the
two latter, but only endeavoured to obtain such a
view of them as would enable them to swear to their
identity. The prisoners, seeing the keepers follow-
ing them for that purpose, each drew a large knife,
resembling those used to kill pigs, and brandishing
them over their heads, they threatened to cut them
with the knives if they interfered further with them.
The keepers, however, then each seized one of the
prisoners, when a deadly struggle took place
between them, and the bead keeper, Targett, was
