.A T a GENERAL MEETING of the WOOL and
j'-• WOOLLEN TRADES, held at the Guildhall Coffee-
house, 011 SATIADAT; the 27th of March, 11824,
JAMES BISCHOFF, Esq. in the Chair.
The CIIAIRMAN read the following Report, which was adopted
unanimously :
The Committee of the Wool and Woollen Trades, 'appointed at
the General Meeting held on the 17th instant, report-- •
That, in pursuance of the Resolutions of the General Meeting,
they have used their utmost endeavours, both by representations to
his 'Majesty's Government; and by interviews with the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, to obtain a return of Duty on all Wools Duty
paid remaining in .the original packages.
They adopted that course partly Irons the declaration of his
Majesty's Government, that if any return was made it could not be
extended beyond that line; and partly from the difficulty, if not ab-
solute impossibility, to define the propiitions of Foreign Wo.l
either in process of alt mafacture or manufactured; avid from the
full conviction, that, in order to get any return, it was necessary to
confine that return to Woolain the Bags as imported.
Finding, at an interview whic,b a Deputation of the CoMmittee had
with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 25th instant, and a
which they were accompanied by several MeMbers of Patlianient;
viz.—Lord Edward Somerset. the Honourable W. Lasetllei, Sir,
W. Guise, Bart. Sir T. Lethbridge, Rim J. A. S. Wortley.
T. Wilson, Esq. G. Bridges, !?sq. R. I!. Davis,
Esq. and Colonel Webb7.that the Char cellor of the Exchequer had
received Memorials from the Manufacturing Districts, praying
that the Holders of ManufacturLd •Goods might be put upon
the same footing as the Holders of Wool, he had determined
pot to gi;e a return to one breach which could not be ex
tended to all; and seeing that all hope of obtaininb a Drawback
Was at an end, the Committee urgently requested the Chancellor of
the Exchequer to let his intentions as to the reduction of the Tax
be made public as soon as possible, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer consequently stated in the House or Commons last
night, that he should recommend the Tax to be reduced in the fol-
lowing manner, viz.

From 6d. to 3d. on the loth of September;
From 3d. to ld. on the 10th of December;

That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chancellor of
the Exthequer for granting the interview, and to the different
Membeis of Parliament who attended on that occasion.•

It was unanimously resolved,
That a Copy of the Report as read should be printed, and sent
to the Manufacturing Districts.

That the 'Committee be requested to watch the progress of the
1111 through the House.
That the Thanks of this Meeting he given to John Maitland,
Esq. who for the space of forty years has with great honour to him-
self, and with so much advantage to the Trade, been the Chairman
of the Wool and Woollen Trades; and during that long period has
devoted his time and active esertion to measures which have greatly
contributed to its increase and prosperity, and whose absence from
indisposition this meeting deeply laments.
That the proceedings of this Meeting be advertised in the usual
Papers in which they have been advertised before. _ _

- (Signed) JAMBS BISCHOFF, Chairman.
Xt. Bischoff then left the Chair.
•
It was unanimously Resolved, -
That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to James Biscbae;
to whose unceasingattention and exertions in the Committee weft
so much indebted, a'id to which in a great degree we attribute the
success of our measures—the repeal of the Duty on Font% 1111961.

1*- Our Journal having been one of the earliest to announce the
contemplated publication of this splendid and interesting Series of
Historical l'ortraits and Biography, it is pecußarly gratifying to us
to be able to attach the opinions of contemporary Critics in confir.
mation of oar own, when we ventured to predict, that, if judi-
ciotraly executed, it Wenkl prove the most interesting and exten-
sively patronised Publication of the age. The following Critiques
are extracted from taw leading Literary Journals of the day:
" We have perused the Biographies Witli.as much interest as we
have looked at the Plates with admiration; and we know nut
when we have experienced a stronger halluence than their combi-
nation has exercised over our minds. How far the Collection alto-
gether excels the celebrated Work of Houbraken, it needs only to
place them side by side to be convinced at the briefest examination."
—Literary Gazette.
" k a judicious andleantifa Wo^k, whether we refer to
the execution and authentic character of the engraved Portraits or

•The Book will be esteemed not as one of Pictures only, brit of

WHEN Science began to explore the complicated
machinery of Mae, she was speedily entangled in a laby-
rinth of mysteributeconfusion, from which intellectual perseverance
alone emancipated her. Ignorance and empiricism, hmvever, still
oppose their venomous hostility, and the prejudice of weak minds,
in Some' mea'strie,'encet.mges their audacity. As Truth is to False-
hood.--so inlay, our public statements be compared with their um-
qualified pretensions, • and to expose their fallacies, we have not
hesitated to avow ouraelves as practitioners in a class of Diseases
j which endanger the mystic evolutions of Nature. To be brief :
we are Members of the London College 'of Surgeons, can establish
the integrity of our Character upon the success of Twenty Years'
practical experience, and announce the grateful testimony of those
lin whom long suffering had nearly extinguished every hope of relief.
We pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its in-
tipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterized by every
doubt and wkatever malignancy. The intricate and much neg-
lected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully and studiously
considered, as have also those delicate and important sympathies
which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have
been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating
tyranny of a tropical atmosphere—the natural bias of constitution
—the imprudence of gaiety—or the more alarming results of a pro-
pensity to practices " which shun the light ;". the progress of which
is marked by a gradual dereliction of the animal powers. To all
who are thus circumstanced, and more- especially to such as are j
aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend ode
