Messrs. GOSS and Co., Members of I the. Royal College of Surgeons, in London, continue to direct their studies to those disorders arising from a secret destruc- tive habit of inconsideiate youth, which not only occasions a numerous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its 1 votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old a/)e. In that distressing state of debility, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, excessive drinking, long residence in hot cli- mates, or any other cause, by which the powers of the con- stitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons 111 London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to mates, or any other cause, by which the powers of the con- stitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons 111 London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to F~ and vigorous health. „ hen an early application is made for the cureof a CER- *AIN DISORDER, frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety, the eradication is generally completed in a few Uays and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of i ^"ereal infection, characterized by a variety of painful and stressing symptoms, a perseverance in their pian, (without leslraint in diet or exercise,) will insure to the patient a per- manent and radical cure. .to married females, whose expectations of those tender pledges of connubial happiness have been defeated, it may also be a pleasing reflection to know that, by a proper perse- verance in their remedies, the general health is renovated, and the impediments removed. Messrs. GOSS and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession, (certificates of which, from various Hospitals, and testimonials from the highest Professional authorities, they have to convince any inquirer,) that a residence in the warmer hemisphere of our eastern ^orld, as well as in other parts, embolden them to assert their researches having been confined to the diseases already enumerated, they hold out a certainty of renovation to such as may labour under the debilitating effects of a hie Passed under the torrid zone.. Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day, at their residence and Patients in Monmout and the remotest parts of England and Wales can be treated suc- cessful ly on describing minutely the case, and enclosing re- mittance for the Advice and Medicine.

fB01neøtit Newø. The Duke of Sussex intends to remain the guest of his friend, Lord Dinorben, at Kenmell Park, two months. It is the first visit of the Royal Duke since the melan- choly and unexpected death of Lady Dinorben. The Duke of Wellington has accepted an invitation to visit the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, at Badmin- ton Park, early next month, when it is expected his Grace will review the Gloucestershire militia, under the command of the Duke of Beaufort. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort are entertaining a family cIrcle at Badmington Palk; Lord and Lady Granville Somerset, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lady Anne Lulling Smith have been among the guests. A grand review of the Yeomanry Cavalry is expected to take place early in the ensuing month, when the officers of the corps will be sumptously entertained by the Noble Duke, who will subsequently proceed on a visit to his estates in Glamorganshire. His MAJESTY AND THE DUKE OF BEDFORD'S BUST. —The Northampton Herald has started a story, which several papers have copied, and which runs thus :The fact of the Duke of Bedford having subscribed to the O'Connell fund was not made known to his Majesty un- til a few days ago, when, we are informed, and our in- formation may be fully relied on, the King appeared much surprised, and expressed his indignation at the conduct of his Grace by ordering the bust of the Duke of Bedford, which stood in the gallery at Windsor, to be immediately removed, at the same time observing that although every man was perfectly right to stand by his party if he chose it, he would not allow the bust of any Nobleman to remain at the Castle who should subscribe to the O'Connell tribute." The intimation that this in- formation may be fully relied on no doubt heightens the joke, though it by no means converts it into an his- torical fact. The truth is-that there is no truth in the tale. Whatever be the disappointment we may occa- sion, we are authorised to say that the statement of the removal of the Duke's bust, and of what his Majesty "observed at the same time" is purely a fabl ication.- Sunday Paper. The sinecure place in the Post office, given by some journals to Mr. Duncombe, has long since been abol- ished.—Mr. Stanhope, recently dead, who has held it, retired some years ago on a pension. The London Court of Directors of the National Bank of Ireland, have elected Mr. O'Connell Governor of the bank. JEWISH FESTIVAL.-On Monday, according to the Hebrew Calendar, was the 1st of the month Tisri, and the commencement of the year 5,597 since the creation of the world. It was observed as a joyous religious fes- tival by the entire nation, who abstained from business throughout the day, and continued so during Tuesday. Wednesday will be observed by the strict Jews as a fast, in remembrance of the death of Guedaliah. On Wed- nesday week is the solemn yearly fast of the day of Atonement, when the High Priest enters into the Holy of Holies to make an offering for the sins of the whole people. All who make the least pretensions to art Ðb- servaaceofthc MosaIc law keep this fast with strictness. It is understood that Lord Frederic Fitzclarence takes the command of the Dublin district, with the brevet rank of Major-General, in room of Sir Edward Black- eney, who, as Lieutenant-General, is Commander of the army in Ireland. The corporation of Calne have set a noble example to other corporate bodies. They have entered into a very liberal subscription among themselves to prevent the ne- cessity of imposing a borough rate on their fellow towns- men and conceiving that the occasion will require some material alterations in the Guildhall, they intend to effect them in a very superior style (at their own ex- pense), previous to the election dinner. His worship the Mayor heads the list, and the aldermen and common councilmen follow in rotation. HALIFAX.—DINNER TO MESSRS. WOOD AND PRO- THEItOE,-The arrangements for the dinner which is to be given by the Liberals of Halifax, on the 30th instant, to C. Wood, Esq., M.P., and E. Protliero, jun., Esq., are proceeding in a very satisfactory manner, and we un- derstand that the tickets will be issued in a few days.— Halifax Express. Our Portsmouth Correspondent this morning commu- nicates the following melancholy intelligence :—" We have just received intelligence that Lord William Ben- tick, which, some time since, conveyed convicts to Syd- ney, and there took in 400 troops, we believe of the 4th Regiment of Foot, for Bombay, is lost on her passage to that place, and we fear that few, if any, of those who were on board were saved. So lisbitry He?-aid, of Saturday. The late Town Clerk, in an account sent into the Town Council, has charged the enormous sum of f47 10s 8d, for examining and correcting proofs of the printed lists of Municipal burgesses, prepared in the autumn of 1835 The labour upon which the Learned Gentlemen has set this high value is certainly not more than equivalent to the correction for the Press of one number of this paper. We pray the Town Council to send the charge of taxa- tion to our Printer's Devil. We much question whether the malicious imp (in spite of the supposed affection of his family for the legal profession) would throw to the worthy Ex a fraction more than the odd 8d.—Leietster Chronicle. FATAL COACH ACCIDENT.—Last Saturday morning, between two and three o'clock, as the Peveril, Manches- ter and London night coach was on its way from Lon- don, and about five miles beyond Bedford, the pole chain got loose, and one of the wheel horses began kick- ing and plunging, and almost imrnerliately the end of the pole attached to the coach became unfastened. The weight of the coach, said to be then about three tons, pressed upon the horses (the coach being then at the brow of a hill), and they had no power of resistance. The coachman, a man of the most temperate habits, and a skilful driver, kept the horses in the road till they reached the bottom of the hill, when the near wheels ran on the grass, which was not more than four or five inches higher than the road, and caused the coach to overturn on the off side into the road. One unfortunate gentleman, whose name appears to be Mr. Jas. O'Brien, attempted to jump off. UyJeU on his face, and the coach unhappily fell upon him, and on the coachman. They remained nearly a quarter of an hour in that posi- tion, and when extricated, Mr. O'Brien was quite dead, and Gibson, the coachman, severely injured, one shoulder being dislocated, and the head and body much cut and bruised. Of the male passengers, four had their shoulders I dislocated, and thus disabled from rendering any assist- ance. The horses broke away without dragging the coach, or the consequences might have been still more serious. The body was removed to Milton church, and on Saturday afternoon an inquisition was taken before Mr. Eagles, Coroner for Bedfordshire. From the evi- dence of the coachman, who was confirmed by that of Mr. Pieot, one of the passengers, they were going at a moderate rate at the time of the accident; and no blame whatever is attached to the coachman. Mr. Henry Gibbons, constable of Milton, deposed that he was cal- led up, and, on reaching the spot, found the guard and three or four passengers standing by the deceased, who was then quite dead. The guard told witness that he found the coach reeling, and attempted to jump off, but before he could do so the coach fell. He was an Irish gentleman, apparently about 60 years of age. Death was caused by the compression of the chest putting a stop to respiration. The Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death," and levied a deomand of £ 5 on the coach and horses. One of the passengers, named Pigot, observed, on leaving London, that the coach was over- loaded. At Bedford, however, seven or eight boxes were taken from the roof, and some passengers alighted. On Sunday morning, the same coach was upset on its = route to London, about two miles from LOUPKK^^ I m Leicestershire, by the breaksng of the splinter-bw' ihe guard is much hurt, and left behind without ho of recovery some of the passengers also received sevieS contusions. A strong opinion prevails here that the rate of speed ordered by the proprietors, and the great wejoht occasionally carried by.ib-se coaches, are wholly inrnm patiable with the pubJi^fety. y Com" The demand throughout the cotmtry for labour" creases, chiefly owing to the number of railroads in pro- gress, and the demand for our manufactures of all sorts Commerce improves, and the country was never in greater prosperity than it is at present. DUBLIN, SEPT. 8.—STATE OF THE CROPS IN IRE- LAND.—The poetical Editor of the WaterfitrJ 7lf.v~ in his Agricultural Report for August," says The gress of the corn fields to their brown maturity has been much retarded by occasional harshness of weather." The simple prose of this is that the corn has not rinened- and I am sorry to add that the week which has elaosed' since the publication of that report, has proved most disastrous to the hopes of the farmer. Since last Friday morning we have had almost uninterrupted rain It is now Thursday, and it still pours on as if it were only just beginning. The labour of the harvest is at a stand and instead of the brown maturity which our southern friend promises, the corn in stack is beginning to sprout so that we shall have malty bread in abundance The' uncut corn has not yet begun to sprout, but if the wea ther continues as it is for a few days longer, not only the wheat but a great quantity of the oats will be rendered unwholsome and unprofitable. Seven vessels laden with oats for London cleared out at Galway last week.

4- FRANCE. The Presse publishes a letter dated Thursday, ad- dressed to its responsible Editor, M. Emile de Girardin" by M. Maurice Persat, responsible Editor of the lYa- tional, who, after observing that M. de Girardin was now completely recovered from his wound, reminds him of the oath which he (M. Persat) made to avenge the death of Armand Carrel, and that upon the spot where he fell. He then makes him a formal challenge to fi"ht either with swords or pistols, observing, that if he 6acl cepts it he may sleep in peace, and attend to his affairs without further molestation from the friends of M. Car- rel on the other hand, he threatens him, in case he does not accept it, that il la dansera in one manner or ano- ther. He concludes by informing him that, in a few days, he shall surrender himself at the political prison of St. Pelagie, for three months, and therefore demands an immediate answer. This letter is preceded and followed by observations of M. de Girardin, in which he retraces all the circumstances that gave rise to his fatal duel with M. Carrel, and after arguing which of th2 alternatives he ought to accept, a duel or assassination, he declares that he will refuse the duel, and if in the struggle he falls by assassination his death willat leastbe glotioi^fox not have exposed his life -uselessly, but have valiantly defended it against an intolerable domination. M de Girardin complains bitterly of the continued attacks made upon him by the Bon Sens the Corsaire, and the Chariva?-i declares that in future he will answer insult by insult alone; and concludes by stating that the in- sertion of M. Persat's letter in the Presse is the only re- ply that will be given to hitn.— Galignani's Messenger.

SPAIN. GUAI»A.LAJAKA» SEPT.—The column of troops which left Madrid on the night of the 30th, and was stationed at Alcald de Enares, left that town for the capital this afternoon at four o'clock, by an order received from General Rodil, the Minister of War, who still remained in Madrid. They will arrive in Madrid to-morrow I have prosecuted my journey here in order to approach nearer to the scene of action, that I may be able to fur- nish you with more authentic, and I hope more early, information than is to be obtained in Madrid with re- spect to any military events of interest expected to hap- pen at the present moment.—I learn here, to mv prise, from a traveller arrived this day from Madrid th't an Extraordinary Gazette was last night issued h capital, giving details of the action between Rri'? L- Lopez and the Carlist chief Gomez, in which j« ol a victory of the former over the latter. I have 3^°^ sent you two letters* from Alcala, informing vr Lopez and the whole-of his troops and artillerv -'at ing of 2000 men and two guns, had been oblS1S.t_ surrender at discretion to Gomez, after fiph»i gallantly. Upon the truth of this statement Very fully rely and as I am unwi'lling to become may of any public men, I will make no observation act of the Government in publishing so utterly err and mischievously delusive an account. { hav"6011* seen the Extraordinary Gazette, but I understand men- tion is made in it of the report of the Alcalde of men~ town in the neighbourhood of the scene of action report gives the victory to the Queen's forces I the report of an Alcalde sent to Alcala, and from ai^i* to the Government, giving a very different de«™r„C —The action which was lost by Brigadier Lon teemed one of the best officers in the Queen's s 'CS~ took place at Matillas, about a quarter of a leagueT^ Brihuega. Tl e Brigadier was overpowered bynumjg!^ and especially by the cavalry of the enemy, and retreated to the church of Brihuega, where he was soon surrounded and compelled to surrender.—Espartero's division came up to Brihuega, which was then hastily evacuated by the Carlists, who at first took the road to Triilo hut turned off"; and on the 31st passed through Fuent'es town on the road to Molina de Aragon, to which point it is now supposed they are directing themselves. If so, it is no doubt with the intention of forming a iunof with Cabrera and the other Aragon bands. Betwl°n Fuentes and Cansedondo was found abandoned on the guns captured with the division of Lopez It 6 from this be concluded that the enemy was rather^ haste. General Manso was this morning at Alcolia d' Pinar, directing his course southward. No general tion, I find, has taken place between Espartero and Go" mez. To-morrow I shall go in the direction taken bv the two armies. •> 41 These two letters we have not received. Evening Chron THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.—A correspond- ence has taken place between the President of th United States and the Governor of Tennessee respecting the urgent tequest of General Gaines for American troonf in order to carry on the war against Mexico, to which General Jackson has replied by giving it a decider/™ gative.
