as the dreadful consequences arising from the use of Mercury.
The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea,
Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, &c., are explained
in a familiar manner ; to which are added very extensive prac-

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price2s. 9d.,

ever discovered, for every stage and symptom of the Venereal
Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Se-
condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency,
and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time,
confinement, or hindrance from business ; they have effected
the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases,
but when salivation and all other means have failed.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this
horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con-
stitution, cause ulceration, blotches an the head, face, and body,
dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate glects,
n ceeson the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose,
with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till, at length, a
general eebility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me-
anchol y death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

Yesterday the Annivorsary Meeting of the supporters
of this most invaluable Institution Ica; held at the Lon-

Mr. OGDEN, ti:o Secretary, road the Report of the
Committee of Management, which stated that the In-

the benefits which it conierred on sufForing humanity
were very great. No less than 1,351 poor persocs were
restored to health and happiness, and by whose industry
their fitmllies were preserved from destitution. Italsostatcd
that its funds had been greatly increased.notonly by sub-

" We therefore submit to your Excellency, that the
reasons given for the egress of these vessels appear to
to be founded upon erroneous assumptions, or infer.. a-
tion ; but we may at the same time point out, that :spa
had they been substantially true, we apprehend t :sue
s of blockade to be so'clear and decisive on the pa ,ist';.tfts
point, that no such 'Circumstances would, in latrnflin
equity, justify the egress of two vessels for the esol
; advantage of the parties interested and to the injury- of 'as-4
others. •
the"teWa-se -1111eUrel AA g
wbittigswtobi, assure your Excellency, not only that
h these ships are loaded, could not have
been purchased at the period the blockade was declared,
but that from our knowledge of the circumstances con-
. • nected with the Canton market, we may confidently
is assert that none of the teas could have reached Canton
until several months subsequently, and that part of them
had very probably not even been at that time manufac-
tured ; and that the whole has been bought within the
last fortnight.
We consider it also a duty we owe alike to our-
solver as British merchants, and to the interest of dis-
tant parties whom we represent, to protest most solemnly
against the secrecy of the arrangements for :glowing the
egress of these vessels ; for we find by your Excelieney's
letter, that the intention was known to the parties con-
cerned prior to the departure of the Admiral, although
to no one elso ; thus affording them advantages, to the
serious injury of many others.
It is further our duty to state, with every respect
for your Excellency, that should the egress of these
two vesdels be allowed, we shall feel ourselves impera-
tively called on to make a formal protest (and which we
hereby do), against the leases or damages all or- any of
us have strtained, or way sustain, in consequence of
the irregularity of the blockade, and against any losses
which may arise after its infraetion by such illegal egress.
" Our letter affil be handed to your Excellency by a
deputation, which will wait upon your TExcellency for
that purpose.

The next Ict!er from the merchants enclosed a va-
riety of documents corroborative of the facts and argil•
meets of their case, from which they draw the following
general results :
We beg, however, respectfully to submit to your
Excellency that the law of blockade clearly declares
that no vessel can leave port with cargo unless it is co-
tea ly bought and on board the ship cr lizirters prior to
a blockade cominenciog ; and it appears try the forego-
ing pipers not only that the cargoes of the Panama
and Kosciusko cannot come under such designation,
but that the teas of which these cargoes consist were not
in Canton in June last, and were, in fact, only pur•
chased during the present month.
" Further, the vessels in question do not appear to
have wished to exercise their right to come out with-
out cargoes, tut have remained in port from Juue to
December ; and as they entered with a full knowledge
of a blockade being declared and of the clear law on
the point of egress, the owners cannot, we submit, corn-
plain of the operation of a law to which they voluntarily
subjected themselves.
" We submit these papers to your Ereellency, in
order to prove, that equitably these two vessel 4 cannot
claim a privilege of carrying out valuable cargoes for
their special benefit, whilst many ships which entered
the port previously were compelled to retire from it
only partially loaded, in consequence of the blockade
taking effect before their cargoes could be completed ;
and whilst *tnanY other vessel:, which arrived imme-
diately afterwards, have been ccwpolled to remain
outside, at heavy loss to the owners, from the same
cause.

Dr. WING then rose to propose a vote of thanks to
the Committee of Management, as well as that the Re.
port which had been read should be printed, and said
that the Report had spoken volumes, and he trusted
it afforded abundant evidence of the services of the
gentlemen composing the Committee. The success of
the Institution was mast gratifyine, considering the op-
position it had met with when it originally started, and
from a quarter from- whence it was least 'duly to
be: expected—the medical professior..—( Hear, hear.)
But he was happy to say that that prejudice was eve-
poratieg like the mildew, by the vivi4ing, rays of expe-
rience and public benevolence.—(Cheers.) And it was
now receiving the warm support of many of the faculty.
—(Hear, hear.) When once the public mind was
awakened to its benevolent utility, he had no doubt but
that its merits would be duly appreciated. It was gra-
tifying to see how the Committee bad organised its ar-
rangements, and with what integrity they adininiftrred
its flinds, and the benefits which resulted to suffering
humanity.---(Hear, hear.) When the rich and. the
opulent were, in spite of their wealth, and all
the aid which it could command, enduring
tee greatest sufferings, how much greater must the
sufferings of the poor be who had not the means of al-
leviation except through the establishment of such an in-
stitution by the Christian-like benevolence of a generous
public.—(Cheers.) He had retired from the profes-
sion ; but he would be always happy to give his best
exertions to its support.—(Cheers.) He concluded by
moving the resolution, which passed unanimously.
JOHN BRIGGS, Esq., in proposing the resolution for
the re-election of the same members, for the Committee,
passed a high eulogiurn on the services rendered by
Frederick Salmon, Esq., and observed that the
institution relieved as great an amount of hu-
man suffering as any other in this great me-
tropolis. The Hospitals only received those cases
which were incidental to human nature, but the Char-
terhouse-square Infirmary relieved a class of cases of
the inost delicate character, and which had hitherto
been but imperfectly known until the talents and per-
severance of Mr. Saloon developed their existence, and
at the same time their cure.—(Cheers.) He, there-
fore, hoped every exertion would be made to enlarge
its sphere for the relief of human suffering, and the re-
ward would be the benedictions of the destitute and
friendless.—(Cheers.)
Votes of thanks were then given to Mr. Ogden,
the Secretary, the Treasurer, and Mr. Salmon, the
founder and surgeon of the Institution, and to the
Chairman; then the fleeting separated.

AMERICAN SHIPS " PANAMA.'

AND ~ KOSCIUSKO."

The Indian papers contain at length the correspon-
dence between the merchants at Macao and Sir J. J.
G. Bremer relative to the release of these vessels from
blockade. The first letter merely contains the ques-
tions put by the merchants, as to whether the Chinese
produce on hoard the ships vcai liable to seizure.
To this Sir J. J. Bremer replied in the following
letter :

" Her Majesty's ship Wellesley, Chuenpee,
December 2.5, 1840.
" TO MESSRS. BELL AND CO., MACAO.
" Gentlemen,—ln reply to your letter of the I9th
instant I beg leave to remark, that it is unneceseary to
enter into the- general questions you have proposed ;
yet I may inform you, that the late Commander-in-
Chiof had formed an opinion (upon the special circum-
stances of the case) that the egress of the two American
ships now in the river would not subject them to seizure.
His Excellency found upon inquiry that both these
ships had bean for some weeks or days in Macao roads
before the arrival of the expedition on the coast of
China, and that their application for permission to enter
the port had been baffled by entirely unusual trammels
of the Chinese Government, arising out of the disturbed
state of affairs.
" The Admiral, therefore considering it a reasonable
presumption that these ships might either have left the
port with cargo, or been actually loaling at tlio period
of the notice of blockade, if they had not been subject
to these unusual difficulties, did not intend to obstruct
their egress, and in the justice of that determination I
concur.
" Thinking that it may he a convenience to you to
know the grounds upon which his Excellency's opinions
were founded, I have been led to step aside from my
usual practice in submitting. them for your perusal. But
you will give me leave particularly to request that these
communications may not be published, as nothing can
be more embarrasSing than the publication of the views
of a person in my station upon points of blockade law
or practice. It is my duty to dispose of practical cases
as they present themselves according to the best of my
judgment, but your own opinions will be your more
suitable guide on any questions of the kind now proposed
to me. I have the honour, &c.,
‘‘ J. J. GORDON BREMER,
" Commodore First Class, Commander-in-Chief."
The merchants then sent the following letter, stating
their opinion as to the law of the case :
"TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR J. J. GORDON BREMER
KNIGHT, C. 8., K. C. IL, NATAL COMMANDER-IN-
CHIEF, &C.

Even were the circumstances different, we respect.
fully take leave again to point out to your Excellency,
that the late of bleckede is clear end precise against the
egress with cargo under any such circumstances ; but
in these cases it will doubtless be satisfactory to your
Excellency to find, that the law cud equity render it
alike inexpedient that they should be relieved from the
operation of a well-recognized principle."
In his reply to this communication, dated December
29, Sir J. J. G. Brcmer enclosed a letter received from
the Plenipotentiary, dated on the same day, calling
particular attention to the paragraph in which Captain
Elliot objects to the publication of the correspondence
during the blockade. As Captain Elliot's letter con-
tains the whole case from the point of view according
to which the egress of two vessels is justifiable, it is no.
cessary to give it in full, notwithstanding its length
" Her Majesty's ship Wellesley, Chuenpee, Dec. 29.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY COMMODORE SIR J. J. EREMER,
KNIGHT, C.D., COMMANDEILAN,CIIIET., &C.

" Sir,—l have given my best attention to tie letter
you have been so good as to hand me, signe.? by certain
British merchants at Macao, upon the subject of the
egress of the two American ships Kosciusko and Pa-
nama, and I telte the liberty to trouble ou with some
observations in support of my earnest regaest and ad-
vice that they may be permitted to pass unobitructed.
" My reasons for earnestly suegesting this course are
so indepen:ient of the main body of allegation and ar-
gument pre:sad by those. gentletnou,.that I am roleved
from the task of touching it at all.
" These two ships passed within the Bogue before
the establishment of the blockade, and I must now beg
leave to call your attention to some observations re-
specting the character and circa of the blockade itself,
for it is upon that general consideration that my own
views are founded.
" In the first place, it will be remembered that the
whole foreign trade with China is carried on through
the port of Canton, and therefore as far as that part
of a blockade of that port be considered, the chief pur-
pose was to press the Government by the loss of the
heavy shipping duties. The more stringent inten-
tions of distressing an enemy, of cutting off and de-
stroying the coasting trade, depriving him of sup-
plies, &c., were not susceptible of execution without
such a pressure of misery upon the people as her Ma-
jesty's Government never inflict till the obstinate in-
justice of the Court should render extremities neces-
sary, and I must be permitted to add, that no such ex-
treme exercise of blockade rights is at all necessary to
give legal effect to purposes of less urgent blockade
pressure.

" I certainly cannot help feeling that the only two
foreign ships in the port, both of which enteral before
the establishment of the blockade, and have lain there
six months since, have the strongest claim to conside-
ration, always it it can be established upon oath that
no part of their cargoes is the property of natives in
China ; neither should I ever haw: presumed to submit
such a claim to the Commander-in-Chief, if it were not
indisputable that he had a strict legal right under par-
ticular circumstances in a general anti equal way to
relax principles perfectly sound of themselves ; for it
is not indulgence Per se that is vicious in blockade
practice, but a capricious indulgence, relaxing iu ono
case, and restricting in another of the like nature.
" Looking at the situation of circumstances and the
peculiar character of this trade, I was strongly disposed
when you announced the blockade, to request you to
make special provision for the safe passage out of all
ships actually within the port at its establishment ; but
it occurred to me that you would rather wish to promul-
gate it simply, and to leave to the commander of the
.blockading force his perfectly just and usually exercised

that the advantage of the egress of these ships t the

or kto mine.

• _

,`: It Was looked at entiiely as a question of fair
Cla trn, without reference to profit or loss to any
parties whatever, and the disadvantage of their egress
to persons not in the same situation has no relation
to the matter in hand ; for it may he taken for
granted that what the Naval Commander-in•Chiof
could publicly do in behalf of one individual would
have been done for any other in the like case. It would
be no becoming or likely motive with me for urging, or
with the Commander-in-Cliff for resisting, what was
felt to be a fair claim, that tee proper relief' of ono per-
son was a disadvantage to another not in the same situ-
ation. Another, and a very remarkable can so 'of co,
