A NEW PATENT HAT, at only 18s.
INI PORTANT SAVING.
GEORGE FRANKS and Co. have to offer to
the Public a SILK HAT on a BEAVER BODY, com-
bining every requisite a Hat ought to possess; it is superior
in appearance to the finest and most expensive Beaver, is
equally light, and will out wear two of them, and is of a
better shape, width it retains to the last; it will never chaste
its colour, ;hid' is of the most beautiful black, if worn fur
years; nu weather will injure them, they being WATER-
PROOF, and will repair several times at a trifling expence,
and every time appear equal to new, and are decidedly supe-
rior to any Hats ever offered to !while notice; the attainment
of which has been attended with great expence, 'labour, and
-personal attention of GEORGE FRANKS and CO. Manu-
facturers, Wellington Haase, corner .of Redcross-arect,
Barbican, London.
Merchants, Dealers, and the Trade, who wish for superior
Hats, will find it their interest in applying as above. No
unpaid Letters received.—Not in any way concussed with a
Retail House in Beech-street, naive of Franks.

THE Royal and. Noble-Patrons of the above
• INSTITUTION, for the exclusive Treatment of VE-
- NERAL COMPLAINTS, and their dangerous consequences,
in order to insure the benefits that have resulted from it, se-
lected Mr. KIERNAN as its Surgeon, (standing high on the
list of the Royal Uollege) from having directed his chief at-
tention to those diseases. It is the misfortune of Pat:e4s
under such complaints, to he too often 'the dupes of illite-•
rate PreterJers, who practise on the credulity by
titles and specious promises. Against this'class (of late so
numerous aini da:ing), Mr. Kiernan conceives it a part of his
official duty to caution the Public, by pointing to the List of
the Royal College, published in Febi nary NIG, as the only
sure guide, and that no assertion of Persons assuming such
titles, and publicly advertising them, without being sanc-
tioned by this List, are to be credited. The annual reports
of the Lock Dispensary Mill prove, that sonic of the most
dangerous cases of Strictures, Debility, and other supposed
incurable affections of the G,nierative Organs, have been here
radically and successfully treated; facts which require' no
hackneyed testimony of affidavits to trove, but the most re-
spectable Medical evidence.
Mr. KIERNAN may be consulted as usual, by both Sexes.,
at his house, 21, Lower Charlotte-street,

and the necessary Advice and Medicine will., be

The auricular confession practised by that per-
suasion is of most extensive influence. The
foundation of this dogma lies in the belief that
there is a human being on earth who is endued

with the, high iirerogative to- forgive sins, past
and to come, fix the conditions on which they are
to be remitted, and can even delegate that power
to an unlimited number of other human beings, in
quality'of his "assumed prerogative ot-Gon!s Vice-
regent on earth And this extraordinary being is
called., the. Pope, residing at Rome, and his adhe-
rents are called RoMan Catholics.

'rim priests initiatea, and to whom . these

powers are in part delegated, receive the confes-
sions of the believers, and are. called Confessors,
and those who do so confeis, are hound to dis-
close to' the priest all their sins'and climes com-
mitted agaidst GOD and man, not forgetting the
Church and its faith. The priest is bound to se-

cresy, but has the power to absolve and,dictate
the penance according, tolis will, inclination, or
sense of propriety. The most unbounded power
of perstiasion and'. obedience must I.=,e a natural

consequence, and the more sincere the penitent is,

the greater the influence. There are absolutions
obtained for sins most horrid, imised too much
so to be named, and too frequently these absolu-
tions produce the renewal of like sins and crimes,
fostered in the firm belief that the former trail-
gressions are done away, and that the repeti-
tion will be pardoned on similar terms.
The penances imposed frequentlyconsist in
gab-
staining from certain kinds of meats, indulgen-
cies, and mortifications at times, in charitable
gifts, endowing places of worship, monastries,
!, •

pilgrimages, set prayers, masses. 'Jr! fasnijy con-
nections, the,father confessor• will perhaps incul-

Another reason of my doubting is, the increase
from two.miltions.to six millions in about 75 years-,
in a country not receiving Emigrants to settle new
land, appears incredible. The great difference
between the two religious persuasions has become
in my mind, still less credible, in consequence of
recollecting the strong opposition made in Parlia-
ment by the favourers of the Catholic Question
(and I think Sir JOHN NOWPolrr in particulai),
in the debate on the Irish Population Enumera-
tion Bill, as to the noticing to what religious
persuasion the person enumerated belonged, which
would have probably shown the -Catholic having
shot with a 16hg bow% at random. If not Os-
:taken, the enumeration. of Ireland has"never been
completed; probably. it is found no easy task..
It Will be a curious document if .correct.
To admit -to politiCal power, in an increased
ratiO,' bigoted superstitious individnalS,
moreover labour under the sway of foreign in-
fluence, and a home priLstbOod, independent of
the State, appears dangerous in the extreme. It
does not admit of an experiment by, wa-y of Trial.
It is'A vulgar' but not unapt. observation,.'' the
devil is- easier raised than laid-!'' With-the excep."
tion of Spain, and perhaps Portugal, the sAncir-
monions regard of the lOwer classes 'in Ireland,
assisted in patt by the Clergy, for the Pope_, is: at
the next high pitch in Ireland, of all European
States, and it behoves every Protestant to: ward
off their becoming a sacrifice to this regard.
A writer, remarking on the fervor of Catholics
to \ make converts, says—Put one carnivorous
animal ilia Park with various granivorous animals,
he will endeavour to devour all. So acts Catho-
lic zeal to secure converts, in comparison with
Protestant Toleration.
