CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at. Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secrecy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethral unhappily so preva-
lent, are reated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London,

their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return

CORN LAWS.

(FROM A' CORRESPONDENT.)
The so-called representatives of the people will
shortly, no doubt, again refuse to attend to the
voice of the country, which is loudly demanding
the abolition of the Corn-laws, and probably many
of them deny that much excitement exists on the
subject. It will be well for those gentlemen to pay
some attention to the Twenty-fifth Report of the
Select Committee on Public Petitions, by which
they will find that up to thch 14th of April there
have been presented in the present Session—
Signatures.
For the repeal of the Corn-laws 1,177,313
For alteration

1,236,995
225,510

Against any alteration

1,011,485

This is a most. triumphant majority, and one
which we may defy the landed aristocracy, with all
their wealth and influence, to make any impression
upon. It is a numerical expression of interest and.
opinion which has, probably, never before been ap-
proached.
But the expression of an universal rnd unparal:
leled interest is still more strikingly demonstrated by
the fact that the signatures in favour of the total
abolition of the Corn-laws exceed the entire num.
Ler of all the signatures to all the petitions for and
against ever!' sulject upon wick petitions have
been presented during the whole of the present Ses-
sion :--.

MOTHER CHURCH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR--\V hen fanatical Divines tell their congregations
that the encouragement of horticulture is a tin against
God, who can wonder that our spirited manager should
receive so little support, notwithstanding the constant
production of novelties and stars, and the rich treats he
is nightly offering to the lovers of good acting and
music.

From the sublime to the ridiculous they say is but
one step. On Sunday last the " Clerics" went (ex-
cuse the vulgarity), " the whole hog" against every
rational amusement. One said that she who danced
had the devil for a partner ; another, that races were an
abomination ; a:third,:that thelsubscribers to our Horti-
cultural Show had better lay out their money in sub-
scribing for additional " Clergy.' For whom, do you
ask ? Why, for the Sandwich Islands, or some other
luxurious regions, where pa rsons may fatten in:secu-
rity. These arc the constant themes. God knows we
have distress cnongh in our city, as the grass-covered
and deserted promenades fully testify. Our delightful
Concerts at the Pump Room, that charming lounge for
invalids, have been closed for want of funds. 1 counted
but fifty individuals at the benefit concert, just double
the number of performers. Is it wrong, I would ask,
to encourage these, and the like amusements? Yes, the
Simeonitish Priests says so. Look at the pale faces
of our ladies, no rouge, no cards, no balls, and, let me
add, no one in the streets. Where are all the people ?
Oh ! at the Rooms, hearing the ministers of one reii-
gion running down those of another.
" What a good eol!ection, says one, 175/. taken at the
doors!" Who can wonder that Bath, like ancient Rome,
is a Owe that has been ? I will give you a specimen of
the cant in the Abbey Simeonite hymn-books, and
pleased am I to say, that our venerable and respected
Bishop has forbidden their use. One verse will suffice—
" The terrors of law and of God
With me can have nothing to do,
For Christ's obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view."

Look at Davidge's bill, which I enclose. Go and
see Dowton, Wallack, and othcrs, surrounded on the
stage with more persons than there ore in the audience,
and then say—" Can such things be."

THOS. ALDIS.

An extensive trade is now carried on along the
shoves of the Moray Frith in sending pigs to the London
market. The North Star steamer, which lett here on Thurs-
day, carried no less than 340; and on her prerous trip there
were above 400 on board. Each of these are valued at about
305., and each is pad for their conveyance to London,
where they rind a ready market. On board the North Star
there were also a number of sheep and fat cattle, and seventy
chests of eggs, each containing one hundred and seventy dozen.
The effect of this constant, drain to supply the London market
may tend to raise prices at home, but it must be highly bene•
ticial to the farmers and tenants, and conducics to the general
prosperity and improvement of the country.

THI3 SUFFOLK SAVAGES

(From the Suffolk Chronicle.)
Mr. iteland, the Anti-Corn Law Lecturer, has beers
perf4ming his duty in various parts of the Agricultural
District, and from that gentleman's personal experience,
be can henceforth entertain no doubt whatever that a
certain class of its inhabitants needs enlightenment, not
only on die particular question he is sent especially to
elucisiate, but in some of those respects which mark the
ilifference between a civilized and a savage community.
At Eye the Tory landlords and parsons had evidently
,primal up their tenantry and understrappers to concert
pitch ; but finding that the Lecturer was not to be pu-
down by clamour, it was announced by a Tory brewer
from the window of a public-house opposite, that " there
%should be a barrel of beer given to those who would
leave the Lecturer." Mr. Acland offered those who
would stay, " a barrel of common sonso"—and common
sense carried the day, for not a man stirred! At
Woodbridge, opposition of a different character was
offered, for the Lecturer was collared, violently shaken,
-forced upstairs, and hurled over the bannisters, at the risk
of breaking bis neck! At Saxmundham, he was even
Aso treated, and we are assured that had not the
Rural Pe)ice been at hand to rescue him from his
perilous situation, his life would have been sacrificed!
Aclend publicly invited the intelligent opposition of
'Squire Mosely, of that neighbourhood—(who, it will
be reraembered, once did us the honour of publicly coin-
rair.ing the Suffolk Chrouiale to the flames, merely be
Muse we inserted an article deprecating the Corn-laws
from the Leeds Mercury)—but instead, he met with
:brute force, as opposed to his enlightened and philan-
thropic views. Indeed, we can compare the whole
proceeding to nothing of recent date, except the mur-
kier of Missionary Williams by the savages of the South
Sea Islands. It is deeply disgraceful to the county, and
places a stain of degradation upon it which it will take
107,,ger to eradicate than the cognomen by which it is
,at- present so well known—" Silly Suffolk." Talk of
the Chartists ! why, in ad their assemblages in this
county, they have been peaceabh2 and orderly—the real
physical-force men hereabouts Tory squires and
Tory tenants (for such were the most conipicuous in
the mob). A greater proof there cannot be that the
Corr.-laws will not bear investigation ; and we need
warcely ejd, that their repeal will be hastened by the
folly of those who have been guilty of endeavouring to
Uphold them by such unmanly and brutal conduct.

THE LATE HURRICANE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—The weather here has been very unsettled and
tempestuous since the commencement of the present
month, but the gale of the 14th was by far the most
severe which we have yet experienced.

We had somewhat similar weather in the commence-
ment of November 1838, on the 28th of which month
the dreadful hurricane took place which prevented Lird
Durham's family from landing on their return from Ca-
nada. As the comparison may be interesting, I shall
transmit from my diary the fluctuations of the mercury
at eight a.m. on each of the days which have elapsed
since the last day of October.

MA RYLEBONE WORKHOUSE.
a number of carpenters were engaged at St. Maryiebaw'v
Workhouse, removing the sashes and windows from "ti;eo
casements in the wards belonging to the female paupers,
who commenced this morning breaking the whole of the
squares of glass in the windows, and which they succeeded
in nearly demolishing. It appears that the Guardians had
caused the lover squares of glass to be ground. for the pur-
pose of preventing the inmates looking into thh: yards and
neglecting their employment, which gave such offence that
a party of the most violent commenced demolishing the
squares. To prevent a recurrence carpenters are now en.
gaged affixing sashes secured by iron bars, with oil paper
in the place of glass. Nona of the ringleaders are yet
known, as none of the paupers will disclose who committed
the violence.

MAP OF CHINA.

AT WAR WITH CHINA-WHERE
IS CHINA? VERY FEW CAN TELL.

The Sun Newspaper will soon answer the question
by publishing a Beautiful, Large, and Highly
Correct MAP of CHINA, with a Complete
History of that Extensive Empire, and its
Singular People.
THE MAP will nearly occupy a page of The Sun.
It is got up under the special Superintendence of
the celebrated Mr. JAMES WYLI), Geographer
to her MAJESTY the QUEEN. It comprehends
also a large portion of India, from the Mouths of
the Ganges—the Islands in the Bay of Bengal—
B irmah —Assam Thibet Nepaul Cochin
China—Canton, and the immense Islands and
Bays along the coast of China to PEKIN,
situated One Hundred and Twenty Miles inland
from the confines of the Yellow Sea.
The next News from China is expected to be ex-
ceedingly interesting and decisive. The Island
of CHUSAN, the first point of attack by the
Expedition, commands the great Bay of Nankin,
from which the Imperial Canal communicates
with Pekin, the Capital of the Empire. Chusan
is about half way between Canton and Pekin.

WATERLOO-BRIDGE•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,-1 agree entirely with the remarks made by Mr.
Morgan, of the propriety of reducing the toll of Water-
loo-bridge, being perfectly satisfied that the reduction
to a half-penny of the foot passengers would materially
increase the revenue. There are from 400 to 600 clerks
in this house who live over the water, who would be
most happy to avail themselves of Waterloo•bridge,
that arc now obliged to go to Westminster or Blackfriars.
Added to this, bow many mechanics, &c.,. la
think
nothing of a half-penny, when long experience has shown
that a penny toll is avoided.—Your's, respectfully,

BUNYAN'S PULPIT.

Feeling assured no memento.could be more
tifying to the devout Christian, than a repress,-'
tion of the pulpit from which that most.,extraordiL
minister John Bunyan, expounde4 tfoin his B-i:
-
the pure tenets of ciospel
through the kindness of a friend, leave to trdl,4
drawing from the treasured relic, in the Method.,..
Chapel, Palace-yard, Lambeth, where Air. Joark
Mountford, one of the oldest and most zealous fol-
lowers of the late venerated Rev. Rowland Hi -„

officiates to the advantage of its numerous auditor
It appears that the pulpit came from the meeting
house, (used as a wheelwright's shop, preparatory
to its being' pulled down,) in Zoar-street, whe7v,
Bunyan was allowed to deliver his discourses,
favour of his friend, Dr. Thomas Barlow, Bish,

of Lincoln, to whom it belonged. (Dr. Balk
was born in 1607, died 1691. It was by the cor
passionate interposition of this divine, that Bunyv •
was discharged atter an imprisonment of twel
years and a half, for holding unlawful assen
blies.) In this place Bunyan preached when
ever he visited London ; and it only one days
notice were given, the place would not conta
half of the people who assembled. Thre
thousand have been sometimes gathered together i•
that remote part of the town ; and even on a dar'
winter's morning, at seven o'clock, not less tha
twelve hundred. He used to preach also in tl-
surrounding counties.

A tradition has been preserved by the BaptiL
congregation at Reading, Berkshire, that he sonic
times went through the town, dressed like a cat
ter, with a long whip in his hand, to avoid detec-
tion. The house in which the Baptists met fi,r
worship stood in a lane, and from a back door tht,..,
had a bridge over a branch of the river Kennet
whereby, in case of alarm, they might escape.
The Baptist congregation at Hitchin is sui.
posed to have been founded by him. The meet
ings were held, at first, about three miles fror
that town, in a wood, near the village of Prom
ton, Bunyan standing in a pit or hollow, and tit(
people round about on the sloping sides. "
chimney-corner, at a house in the same wood, is
still looked upon with veneration, as having bec%
the place of his refreshment." About five mile
from Hitehin, was a famous Puritan preaching
place, called Bendish. It had been a malt-hotn:
was very low, and thatched, and ran in two dire:

tions, a large square pulpit standing in the angle!-
and adjoining the pulpit, was a high pew, in whict.
ministers sate, out of sight of informers, and from
which, in case of alarm, they could escape into a;
adjacent lane. The building being much deoave(:..
this meeting was removed, in 1787, to a place caller.
Coleman-green ; and the pulpit, which was them
held to be the only remaining one in which Bunya“
had preached, was, with a commendable feeling,
carefully removed thither. Another pulpit is shown
in London, in the Jewin-street Meeting.—Mirror.

THE LATE MR. JOHN BIBI3Y.—The relatives
of this lamented gentleman have, in common with many
in consequence, offered a reward of 500/. to
other persons, imbibed a strong opinion that he was murdered;
not the actual murderer, who will give such in-
formation will lead to the conviction of any party or parties
waahrdina
oitihtimdieao rvni have,dasu
may have been active participktors in the dreadful deed.
The family of the deceased have also obtained authority from the
Secretary of State to announce, that her Majesty's free pardon
will be given to any person, not the actual perpetrator of the
crime, who will give such information as above mentioned.—

LOVE IN THE CUPBOARD.—An inhabitant of
the Haut Pont, St. Omer, returned home on Sunday evening,
and as he was fond of tta r bottle proceeded directly to the cup-
board to have a pull. The cupboard, however, is fast, and the
key is taken away by his prudent old wife. Ile begs and prays
her to unlock the cupboard or to give him the key. She will
do neither. The husband gets enraged, takes up a heavy iron
instrument, and forces off the lock. The door is now open ;
but judge of the surprise of the man when, instead of laying
hold of the neck of the bottle, he seizes the throat of a young
corporal of the 42d regiment of the line, aged 22, who had been
brought thither by the charms of a beauty born in 1790.--

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The settling for Goodwood Races took place yesterday after-
noon at Hyde-park-corner, and was very heavy; it attracted a
large attendance, nevertheless it was net quite so full as it
ought to have been, some parties having neglected either to
show, or to take any measures for the adjustment of their ac-
counts; this practice has often been complained of, leads to
great inconvenience, and is highly reprehensible. towards
the evening a few engagements were made on forthcoming
events. Launcelot, Gibraltar, Broadwath, and Maroon,
were in considerable favour for the St. Leger. The
prices of the first two and the last were intelli-
gible, but we cannot speak with certainty as to
the actual odds against Broadwath ; we saw 17 to 1 booked in
two or three quarters, and we heard as little as 12 to 1 offered
in reply to the inquiries of those wbo were disposed to lay out
their money the same way. We believe, however, that 14 to
1 may be received as the average laying price. Crucifix was
backed for a trifle at 7 to 1, and for a hundred at 8 to 1, as
stated below, which odds were offered currently at the close. A
few small bets were laid against St. Andrew and Viceroy, and
the backers of the Saint would have gone on at 30 to 1. The
Derby betting was not sufficiently heavy or interesting to claim
any other notice than what is given below. Latest quotations :
