That it appears to this Meeting, that all the subsequent gra-

lith for MI the fair purpose of :agricultural improvement or
spertgatiano.
2dis, It.'Nolved, That to Legislate a. permanent measure at
this tun.., when toe blessings of pence have not settled into such
oste as 10 demonstrate what the rime prices of grain, or of
labour, should be, and wkirh chi. Meeting apprehend should
precede ants per a attent enactment, it s nuld he injurious to the
best interests of the country to proceed io the measure now be-
fore Parliament respecting the Corn Laws, without a more full
and extended consideration of our satiation, not only as a corn-
gren Ong, hot also a manufacturing country.
fary, Rendre& That it appears to this Meeting problemati-
nl, xhrthrr Corn (like most other missives of wealth) should
rot hr left to its own operation, and by meeting a fair competi-
tion, live it a chance of profit and loss without being protected
ha enactments as are now sought for by the agriculturist
and the I and proprietor; because, being art ankle of the
neers-icy, to obtain it at the lowest possible price must be
of vital importance to the far greater part of the community.
ithls, Resolved, That as the price at which the labourer,
ankain mechanic, ned manufacturer, can procure his food is the
basis upon which hit waxes for his labour depends; every at-
tempt to nose the price of what he consumes mast be felt in
the article be manufactures; and by materially raising the prices
of oar exportable articles, tend to laver Oar ability to compete
to the Continettal market.to the great hours,, as we apprehend,
of a country so highly mercantile as Great Britain.
athly, Resolved. That the importance of a market on the
Continent for manufactured goods of Great Britain was
sever more clearly demonstrated than during the late war, when,
by n temporary lona of that market. many merchants became
bankrupts, our community so impoverished that many of nor
tradesmen nod manufacavers were unable to support themselves
and families, mid a vast moss of our people were driven to
orkhnuses for support.
GM's, Resolved, That in the apprehension of this Meeting
the price of bac per quarter, ns the average of bread corn, will
eventually put the price of wheaten flour (usually consumed in
the metropolis) so high that, what at present they procure under
one shilling the quarter's to of will he nt one shilling asnd four-
)ence, if not more, thus taking from the hard -earned pittance of
the poor, a price. in the Oplolo4 of this Meeting, not at present
warranted either by the plea of justice, or the urgency of the
cafe; and that in this persuasion they follow those whose pub-
lic stations gives the best meals front which to judge of the
practical effect of the price of grain upon the consumer of
ire tal le ibis metropolis and its environs—nor can it be unwise
of unsafe in the opinion of this Meeting to follow the state-
mesa of the Chief Magistrate of the first commercial city in the
world, that an 80, average will maks the wheaten loaf ls. 4d.
n price that will severely affect a very large portion of this
parish.
ithlY, Resolved, That in the opinion of this Meeting it is not
Ihn• shifting the buriben of taxation from one shoulder to another
that ran materially effect the amelioration of the community,
or produce those results which ri state of peace should give us ;
anti this Meeting manual lefrain Isom expressing their expectancy,

.mason, and extensive retrenchments in the public expendi-
ture, by a wise reduction of our standing army, and the aboli-

Lord of Parliament, for the purpose of its being presented ;

NERVOUS DEBILITY, STRICTURES, LU ES, &e.
WHEN Professional Men, eminent for skill
and experience, offer their advice, and exert their abi-
lities fur the cure of a few reigning diseases, they rise superior
to that prejudice which is so justly excited against the adver-
tisements of men, ignorant of the first principles, and uneducated
in the practice of physic. Messrs. CURRIE nod Co. regular
Surgeons. sanctioned by every privilege to practice, and by the
uniform success which their mode of treatment far Venereal
Complaints has hitherto been attended, continue a ith the same
assiduity to direct their studies to the cure of every species of
that baneful poison, as well as the removal of those distressing
debilities and dcticiencies which prevent or embitter the matri-
monial slate. In the catalogue of human Infirmities there are
none more afflicting than those which are the unavoidable con-
sequences of an indulgence in a certain destructive habit. The
uuhappy sufferer broods over his misfortunes, ashamed to seek
relief until lie is reduced to such a state of misery as to render
life oppressive. To such persons it will he a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a new and infallible re-
medy, be restored to their former constitutional strength and vi-
gour. Weak, relaxed, and debilitated habits, proceeding either
from an excess of conjugal and illicit pleasure, or from a long
re,idence in hot climates, hard drinking, the injudicious use
of mercury, &c. are speedily restored tithealth and strength.
It must be a self-evident proposition that where the aggre-
gate of intellectual capacity is directed to the treatment and
core of a few peculiar complaints, there must he the greater
certainty of success ; and as a proof of this position their me-
-1 thud of cure is so particularly expeditious, as well as safe,
I and so evidently superior to the common practice, that in some
; slight cases of infection a perfect restoration is completed in the
short period of three days, and in those of the utmost invrtera-
-1 cy, where other practitioners have failed, a proper perse-
-1 verance in their plan of treatment ensures to the patient a safe,
. well grounded, and lasting re-establishment. By an early ap-
-1 plication, the patient will escape the danger and expence of a
tedious attendance upon the less experienced practitioner. In
the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection,
• such as obstructions in the urethra, spungy excresceoces, hard
• tumours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, glee's, as
t also
STRICTURES,
! whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the
1 skill of other practitioners, are, by their present improved plan
• of treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the
1 patient suffering the excruciating pain nod alarming hemorrhage
1 which frequently follows the application of the lunar caustic.—
In the course of 20 years extensive practice in this metropolis,
numerous cases of strictures have been and are daily under their
care, the total eradication of which is effected by a safe, cer-
tain, and expeditious mode of practice, superior to any other
' yet adopted. The weakness. relaxation, and debility proceed-
-1 big f this complaint, is speedily removed, and the patient
restored to sound and vigorous health. But where the debility
ha' for years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative
remedies, after the stricture has been destroyed, is indispensably
requisite to revive the slninheritig sparks d like, and to reani-
mate the constitution.

have been under the care of Messes. Currie mud Co. for the le-
panel of complaints of the urethra, . • tures, Ike. ; and having
