. ADVICE . MR . WILKINSON , SURGEON , H AYING devoted aia Studies for many Years to ^ the successful Treatment of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in all its various Forms ; also , to the frightful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , " Self Abuse , " may be personally con-Eulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night , and on Sundays till Two , at 18 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds , and every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Bradford , from Ten till Five . In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making only one personal visit , will r # ceive such Advice and Medicines that willfnabie them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means have failed .
Having successfully acquired a thorough knowledge of all the various stages of that insidious and too often fatal disease , ana the deplorable results , as well as frequent loss of life , which often occurs through ilisplayed ignorance , by those unqualified , having bnt very little knowledge either of the disorder , or component principles of Medicine ; thus the system becomes tainted , the whole mass of blood impure , and the Constitution ruined with Poison , producing Ulcers and Eruptions on various parts of the body , frightful to be seen—often closely resembling and mistaken for diseases of a less painful character . Mr . W ., as a Member of the Medical Profession , and from the peculiar nature of his practice , can , with the utmost confidence , even to the
most timid , offer hope , vigour , and perfect health . What a grief for a young person , in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance . Mr . W . ' s invariable rule is to give a Card to such of his Patients as a guarantee for Cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or to return his Fee . For the Accommodation of those who cannot conveniently consult Mr . W . personally , they may obtain his Purifying Dropt , Price 4 s . 6 d ., at any of the following Agents , with Printed directions so plain , that Patients of either Sex may Cure themselves , without even the knowledge of a bedfellow .

MEDICAL ADVICE . OF serious Importance to those who are suffering from Venereal or Syphilitic Diseases , Nervous , or Sexual Debility , Rheumatism , Scurvy , Scorbutic Eruptions , and all Diseases arising from impurity of the Blood . Mr . LA'MERT , SURGEON , No . 21 , FALKNER-STREET , MANCHESTER , Licentiate of the Apothecary ' s Hall , London , and Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , &c , having devoted his studies for many years to the various diseases of the generative organs , and to the cure of these insidious and often fatal diseases ^ at the various Hospitals in Loadon , and in the Universities of Edinburgh and Dublin , cannot refrain from directing attention to the deplorable consequences so
constantly occurring , owing to unqualified and illiterate men , presumptuously claiming to have a knowledge of these disorders , who are totally ignorant of the general principles of medicine , ana either by uu skilful treatment , or by the immoderate use of mercury and other questionable specifics , entirely ruia the constitution , by suffering the system to become affected , and the whole mass of blood tainted with venereal poison , causing eruptions and ulcers of a most frightful character en the face , neck , and body , which closely resemble , and often ire treated as , scurvy , and dreadful pains in the limbs and bones , which are commonly mistaken for rheumatism ; the whole frame then becomes affected with the most alarming symptoms , and a melancholy death puts a period to the sufferings of the patient .
The imperative necessity that exists for tho complete eradication of t ' nese deplorable d : si » roers is evident from the fact , that this deadly cohta ^ ou may lay imbedded in the constitution for years , ai : d it is of the utmost importance to those who are about to form matrimonial engagements to cleanse the syEtem previously of all its gross impurities iu order to prevent those sad appearances throughout entire families , which are frequently the consequence of a protracted and incomplete eradication . In those deplorable cases of nervous and sexual debility , arising from early and indiscriminate excesses , where melancholy , distaste , incapacity for all pleasures , both mental and physical , and all the enervating imbecilities of old age are its atiendants , the utmost endeavours should be made to avoid the
despair and misery which accompany these dreadful debilities , when left to the powers ot ' nature alone to restore , and which frequently hurries its victim to the grave in the very flower of his youth . To all who are thus afilicted , Mr . LA'MERT , as a regularly educated member of the med cal profession , can with the utmost confidence offer hope , energy , vigour , and felicity ; and from the peculiar nature of ni 3 practice , the most timid may feel encouraged by the opportunity thus afforded them . The following letter is published by particular request : — Newcaatle-upon-Tyne , June 20 , 18 S 9 .
Sir , —It has been my intention , for a length of time , to address you on a subject elosely connected with your celebrity ; but I mast confess that a feelii . g of delicacy has hitherto withheld me . My « ure , however , has been so complete , that it would be an act of gross injustice to your character and skill , were I longer to withhold a case so remarkable as any on record . Bora in a polished circle of society , I wae early sent to a most respectable publie seminary , where , for some years , all went on with prosperity and happiness .
Unfortunately , however , a habit was sent abroad aa » B £ -eS }* rlnei » -I-wae-, -with m » oy- « tijerij , uuable to resist . Years rolled aw * v , and left me an altered man ! Infirmities gathered arouad me , and at the age of twenty years I was actually dying of decaya gradual but certain decay , 1 wonuered at the cause of all this premature debility , nor did the truth ever fiash across my mind , until 1 saw an address of yours , which made me fully sensible of my miserable situation . The debility increased every renewed day , with the cause of misery , self-entailed , gnawing at my heart in my waking moments ; in seeking rest , I only sought for a change of torments —the many houraof darkness seemed awful ; those of bleep filled me with raoking horrors indeseribable . I longed for day—with day 1 was wearied—and I beheld the approach of night with abhorrence . Under theee circumstances of unqualified affliction ,
1 journeyed upwards of ninety miles to have a eonsuitatiou with you . I need not say now soon you were awar . of my appalling situation , the anxiety you . maijifeeted is accomplishing my Ttlief , or of the confidence with whioh you Bpoke ef my recovery . You directed me a packet of your invaluable medicines , and by persever&noe in following your directions , and with the blessing of Providence , a wonderful ture has been completely effected , and I am now , in every sense of the word , become a new men ! 1 trassmit tkis aooount for the benefit of other * who may , unfortunately , be placed in a situation of similar wretchedness . You may omit my residence , but if asked for , you are at liberty to give it . —Remaining , Sir , with every sentiment of regard , yours truly , - Charles Nkwtok . To Mr . La'Mert , 21 , Falkner-streetManchester .
, Mr . La'M « n is to be consulted every day , at his residence , from nine is the mcrning till ten at night , and on Sundays from nine till two ; and patients in the remotest parts of the country may be treated successfully on tranemittiHg their report , which will be immediately answered ; their letters must minutely describe the case , and contain a remittance for advice and medicine , which can be forwarded to any part of the world , however distant . No difficulty can occur , a £ the medicines will be securely packed , and carelally protected from observation . 21 , Faalkner-Btreot , Manchester .

COURT HOUSE—Saturday , June 6 . Before the Mayor , W . B . Worthingtok , and James Newton , E * qrs .
MORE APPREHENSIONS OF TURN-OUTS . CIlARfJE OP INTIMIIUTIOS , alias BREACH OF THE PEACE . Lucy Walker , Elizabath Faulkner , Ansilla Ford , Ann Ben : ley , Sarah Bentley , Martha Pott , Maria Wright , Elleu Bowden , and . Mary Daio , were charjieii with intimidating ( along with two others at large ) Margaret Tiusley , a weaver at Mr . Fernley ' s mill , Chestergate . Mr . W . Vaughan attended on behalf of Ford , and the two Bentleys , the others being undefended . George C ; iduian , police-officer , and being examined by Mr . Hudson , said—Yesterday at noon I was down Chestergate , and saw Margaret Tinsley . Saw
all tho prisoners there except Bowden and Sarah Bt-mley . Tinsley was coming towards Brinksway , followed by a great crowd , hooting and calling her many names . She went into her house , a cellar , and presently returned and emptied a pot upon them . They then divided , and waited in different directions , sitting upon the house steps , till she came out of her house . Some picquetted before her door , not by walking baokwards and forwards as heretofore , but in the form of a circle , all of them moving round the ring . When she came out , they Kroiiit-d at her , shouted "knobstick , " . ^ Ba »' -Jamb , " and " black sheep , " as far as the Caening public house , where the party saw me ; they went across the road . Ford and Ann Bentley , howetflr , continued elose upon Tinsley , and fearifig . they might tread upon her heels , I took them into custody . On
bringing them down to the Police Office , was followed by a j ., reat number of other young women , who rushed into the office , saying they would all'go iu together , and I put them in also . ( Laughter * . ) . I saw Ann Bentley and Ford particularly all the while ; and therefore have no doubt that they were the party in Chestergate . Had previously told them that 1 would take them into custody for intimidation—for a breach or the peace . ( Laughter . ) They replied that " it was a very hard thiDg that they could not walk along the streets like another person ; but that Tiusley deserved it for going a knobbing , " DidnptBe $ , Sar&h -Benttey and Bowdeu until- he got- naar . tl ^ nSobOfti pump on his way to the lock-upa . : * By Mr . Newton—They were not preset ! when I apprehended the other two ; nor did I see them do anything . They accompanied us into the office ; and 1 have no charge against them .
By Mr . Hudson—At the time I seized Ford and Ann Bentley , the crowd hooted me , and continued to do so to the lock-ups , picquetting me two and two all the way . Cross-examined by Mr . W . Vaughan—Ann Bentley and Ford said it was very hard , that they oould not walk on the highway without the fejar of being taken up . There were many hundreds present .. Selected two beaause they were very near Tinsley , and might be treading her heels down . Would not swear that they touched her , or intended to do . They crossed over the road when they saw me ; the majority of the crowd were on the contrary side . Believe Tinsley is a knobstick ; knew her well ; ehe lives under AuBhead ' s beer-house , Brinksway . She
is a weaver , and her husband mends umbrellas and gathers rags . ( Laughter . ) When she came out of the cellar , the threw something out of a pot ; but do not know whether it wu water or beer ; not whether it went upon them . They formed themselves into a circle , but did sot sing , nor return thanks for what they had received . ( Laughter . ) Ford and Ann Bentley were in that circle . I was standing at the end of Heap Riding-street . Went a little towards Mr . Lee ' s counting-house , round the corner ; yet saw them all the while , they never having been out of my sight ! Tinsley did not go back into the mill . I told her to follow me down to the office , where she
remained till seven o ' clock at night . In answer to questions put by the defendants separately Cadman said that be did not see any of them do any thing wrong , saving Ann Beutley and Ford , the othera merely being amongst the crowd . Marspret Tinsley ( examined by Mr Hudson ) said , I am a weaver at Mr . Fernley ' s millT and left lor dinner yesterday a few minutes past twelve o ' clock , having been detained to piece two euds up . Did not see any thing but weavers near the factory ; saw the picquet just beside the Canning . They kept crying out , " that ' B her . " I answered , * ' They might picquet me for twelve months if they liked ; out they should not get me out . " I then went towards my house ,

followed closely by the picquet , one by one—I mean two by two—that is—they came all in a " ruck " lik«—( laughter)—and surrounded me , shouting black sheep , " and " knobstick . " When I had got into my house , I " returned soon afterwards , and emptied the pot in which the child had - ; but did not attempt to throw it upon any one . The picquet kept pointing their fingers at me . The Mayor said that all the defendants were liable to a penalty not exceeding £ 5 , for committing these offences in the public streets . Ho . / was sorry to punish , having no wish so to do ; but in order to preserve the peace of the town , it was necessary to do something . In this case , however , the defendants were all discharged on paying the costB , and promising not to repeat the complaint in future . < VOW ™ , 1 M « ani » k ~ u .- _ s x ___ . _^ T
CONSPIRACY . Jane Lowrj , Mary Ann Ridgway , and Maria Ancoate , alias Lester , were charged with conspiracy to force certain weavers to leave the employ of Messrs . W . and J . Bradshaw , cotton manufacturers , Stockporfc . Mr . Hudson , who conducted the prosecution , premised that similar proceedings had been previously adopted against other parties , and indeed a number of warrants for conspiracy had not been executed , in the hope that the offence would have terminated with the former convietions , but the picquets had resumed their system , the annoyance had returned , and as the Messrs . Bradshaw were more subjected to it than any other manufacturers , they felt themselves justified in presenting the offenders . Mr . James Bradshaw , cotton manufacturer , said that in consequence of an alteration in the price of wages about five weeks ago , there had been &
turnout , and the hands who continued to work were much annoyed by picqueta , as they were going to and returning from their work . Five persons had already been oonvioted , or held to bail on the charge of conspiracy . Immediately afterwards , the picquets were discontinued , and between thirty and forty more weavers had returned to their employment . Since then the picquets had continued their annoyance . On the Bd of June , at noon , Lester and forty or fifty others , chiefly women , came from the direction of the Post Office , where Lester seemed to be arranging a pioquet . They came towards the mill , and when about fifteen yards -off , she said to the others , "Come along , and I will lead up . " Lowry aad Ridgway were amongst them . Saw the crowd annoying Sarah English , and Bridget Flannigan , two other weavers , the latter of whom only came to work on the 3 d of June .
James Morris , cut looker over at Bradshaw ' s , then came forward and said that be had seen all the defendants walking picquet before the mill on Wednesday at noon . Saw them at twenty minutes to one o ' clock , and they went away at ten minutes past one . Sarah English said , she was returning to her work at Bradshaw ' a , at a quarter before one on Wednesday ; and when she got at tho top of Pickford ' s Brow , she saw a great crowd , who began to follow her , a boy having shouted " that is a black sheep . " Ran home , pursued part way down the Brow ; aud being frightened did not return to her work . ^ Cross-examined by Mr . Lowry—Did not see any of the defendants that day . Bridget Flannigan and Elizabeth Wild , two other weavers , gave similiar testimony to that tendered by English . The Bench called upon themtofindbail , themselves in £ 50 , and two in £ 25 , to answer the charge at the Sessions , and to give twenty-four hours' notice of bail .
MORE CONSPIRACIES . Wm . Wright and John Wild were placed in the dock , charged with conspiracy to force Betty Standish , weaver to quit the employ of Messrs . Bradshaw . Mr . Hudson prosecuted . Mr . James Bradshaw said on Thursday night last there was a picquet opposite the mill ; and between seven and eight , as some of the weavers were leaving their work , he saw Wright run and speak to two men near his ( Mr . B . ' s house , ) after which they went in the direction of the weavers . The following day at noon , the picquet again assembled , amongst whom were John Wild , Charles Pownall , and Charles Dooly . On Betty StaRdish . a weaver , leaving the lodge , the picquet followed her home . Cross-examined by Wright—Did not say you said anything to the weavers on Thursday night . There was a crowd there .
Wild complained of the hardship of being in that situation , being innocent of any offence either to person , peace , or property , nor was any evidence brought against him . Mr . William Bradshaw , of the firm , stated that immediately after the picquet had walked away from the mill , on Friday afternoon , he went down Chestergate , where he lived , and was followed by a crowd who shouted him . The annoyance had been exhibited towards him during the turn out , haviug frequently been conducted home by the picquet . He said he had no doubt that the annoyance was for the purpose of compelling him to make an alteration in the rate of wages paid at his mill . Cross-examined by Wright—I say nothing about you . ¦ ¦ ¦¦
Wright—Then wh y am I brought he ? e ? ( Lanehter . > Betty Standish said she was a weaver at Messrs . Bradshaw ' a . On Friday at dinner time , saw the picquet near the gates , and the defendants were with them . Hoard some person say " let ' s take her home , " and the picquet and crowd , who had walked backwards and forwards , took her home . Had been frequently picquetted home . Cross-examined by Wright—You walked in the picquet as I came back . Sergeant Hough said he had seen the defendant in the picquet opposite Bradahaw ' s factory , cm Friday noon . They , with others , kept paesiii K shilling piece ? , and tauntiug Mr . BradBhaw that they had money left yet .
By the Court—Did not warn them away or camion them that they were doing wrong by picquctting . Wright has been convicted of throwing a stone at Mr . Jawea Bradshaw . Examined by Wright—The conviction took place on my evidence . ( Hear . ) Both of you followed us down by the Court Room : and then we apprehended you . After whicn a warrant was got out for intimidation . Wild most confidently denies having picquetted or given offence to auy one ; and merely accompanied Wright to the Court Room from curiosity to see who had been taken up of the turn-outs .
Wright complained that until that day he had not had a morsel of food since be was put into Sadler ' s Wells ; " and that when he besought Walker for a bit of bread , he replied , •* You will have some stewed paving-stones directly . " ( Shame . ) Sadler told them they could have what they liked by paying for ; but added , Wright being out of work , they were not to be starred to death from inability to buy food in a prison . Besides , as they ( defendants ) worked hard for what little they get when in work , and as officers had been apprehended then , for some conspiracy of their own , they thought that the least they could do was to find them something to eat . — ( Laughter . )
Sadler admitted that they had not had anything to eat from , the period of their apprehension ( Friday ) until that morning . The public called " shame , shame . " The defendants were called upon to find bail , themselves in £ 50 and two in £ 25 each , to answer the charge at the sessions , and to give twenty-four hours' notice of bail . . Mr . Hudson applied , iu case sureties were found , that Wright should be also bound to keep the peace iu the meantime .
