Parallel to these are the Ma hadoe Hills, about 20 miles to the southward; and these again are succeeded by several lower ridges, branching off in different directions, to the south of the. Mahadne Hills. Among these latter ridges, about 70 miles south Sf the Nerbudda, and about lat. 22.20. north, and long. 78.50. east, is a place called Punchmurry, where the Ex-Rajah for some time remained concealed. Around this spot were I drawn British detachments in various directions, viz. at Babye, Sobagpoor, Bunketa, Borah, and Nailing. prior, north of the Mahaclee Hills ; and at Shaupoor, ifietool, Moltye, Doeghur, and Omrait, south of those hill . Colonel ADAUS was advancing on Punch. imurvy from Babye, on the north-west, and Colonel MACMORINE was moving on the same point from Narsi'ngpoor, on the north-east, when APPA BAttaii took the resolution of abandoning his lurking.place, assisted by CIIEETOO, the Pindarrie Chieftain, who is believed to have been since killed by a tiger. The Thalia, arrived at Deal from Calcutta, brings intelligence from that place to the 28th of March.—. The. effects of the excessive influx of private trade Were beginning to decrease; the markets were thinned, and a ready sale offered itself for every species of goods usually brought from Europe for the supply of Bengal. The price of cotton, as at Bombay, had risen considerably, but it is not stated, as at that Presidency, to have been owing to any failure in the crops. Ben. gal cotton has been in England lower than sixpence the pound, but it cannot now be imported, including freight and charges, at less than 90.

The greater part consist of linen-weavers. The Royal Government at Prague has applied to the Ministry at Vienna, for directio.is how to act :111 these Fermis." A letter from Dasseldosff, dated August 20, says, " It seems that ili-disposed perso<>> in the City have wished to make it the theatre of outrages like those which have taken place at Wurtzburg and Frankfort, for yesterday evening a placard was posted at the Corner of several streets, announcing that on the 26th of this month there was to be a general massacre of the Jews, and pillage of their houses. However ab ward such a notification may be, it has, however, not failed to excite great alarm in the minds of many of the inhabitants, Christians as well as Jews. It is said that the Police have some hopes of discovering the person who has wished to make himself the Haman of the Jews of Dusseldorff."

Gneberg, has communicated to our College of Health a very important discovery, which will tend to prevent in future the ravages of the plague. M. Colaco, the Portuguese Consul at Larrache, having observed that in several parts of Barbary oil was used externally to anoint the body as a preservative against the plague, conceived the idea of administering this simple remedy internally to persons already infected. Numerous experiments have been made, which have proved the efficacy of this remedy. Out of 300 indi viduals already infected, who resorted to this simple remedy, only twelve died.

Impressed at an early period of our prokrsional career with the importance of a mote minute attention to a class of diseases peculiarly affecting the grander operations of nature, we boldly deviated from what was held to be medical orthodoxy; attacked the vauntings of empyricism, and, by defeating its vile purposes, consider ourselves justly entitled to that approbation and patro nage which, for twenty years, have rewarded our imeettssful and devoted studies. The estimation of our enlightened brethren, who frequently appeal to our opinion, is an addition al g ratification to 'our pride, while our authority ftom the College itself, strength ened as it is by the most enthusiastic testimonials of almost every Professor in the British metropolis, must ever protect the sanc tity of our fame from envy or misrepresentation. The impetuosity of youth, or the momentary want of caution in the maturer man, often lead to the effects of a coetagious dis ease ; happy therefore may the early applicant be called, whose anxiety can he alleviated by a few days' care ; and even in the more advanced stages, chat acterizcd by numerous symptoms, we can illustrate our assertion, by rendering the treatment mild, the cure effectual. Every organic change, or functional disturbance, incidental to the generative economy, falls equally within our province, and, will yield to our attention. Among these are diseases of the ure thra, weakness, and Constitutional derangements, of however long duration. The child of inanition may be restored to appetence, and in stead of being exhausted by Nervous Debility, he will circulate the manlier proof of vigorous impulse.—The limits of an adver. tisement do not allow the classification of our subjects, but they are amply detailed in a Work we lately published, called " The /Ems of Lac," the rapid sale of which, accompanied with an increasing practice, are undeniable proofs of our general utility. The Book can be had at 20, Paternoster-row; 66, Pall-Mall; 24, Gerrard-street, Soho; 174, and 32, Fleet-street; or at any Bookseller's. We attend at home daily for personal consultation, and the terms are always suited at the first interview, or in answer to letters containing a remittance.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST2s. GORDON v. CORDON. In this case, which has excited so much litigation, Mr. Rosa stated, on behalf of the defendant James Gordon, that some minutes had been prepared of the order made by his Lordship, and that it was proper to state to his Lordship that the defendant had instantly discharged Harry Gordon, his brother, out of prison, in consequence of the opinion formerly given by the Court. . The LORD CHANCELLOR—This certainly is a very painful case, take it as you like, in every respect. 1 am glad Mr. Harry Gordon has been discharged by James the defendant. In this he has done right; but I cannot help regretting that this case ever was brought to a public discussion in a Court of LAW or Equity. shall read over all these minutes, and shall myself write out such an order as I think essential to the justice of this distressing case. I have considered my judgment with the deepest anxiety, and I see no reasort to induce me to alter one word in what I said; for if I ant •to believe what James alleges to be the fact, then I must believe the whole of the other par ties to be most dreadfully perjured—a conclusion which I never can fox a moment entertain. EX-PARTE SPENCER, IN THE MATTER OF SPENCER. This was a very important question relative to the proceedings in suing out• Commissions of Bankruptcy; and the question was, whether a creditor could carry on 'an action against a.bankrupt for a debt due to him, and at the same time prove such debt be fore the Commissioners ? The applicant in this case is in prison, and the creditor has nevertheless pro ceeded to prove his debt before the Commissioners. The Loan CHANCELLOR, alter looking into all the facts of the case, and into all the former decisions which had bein given, said, that as it appeared to him to be one• of• a most interesting general nature, he would send a case for the solemn argument of a Court of Law, as there were many doubts in the point. He was the more inclined to do . so, as the late Lord Ellenborough, one of the greatest and most enlight ened men that ever England had produced, and whose energy of mind was indescribable, had held that the clause in the Bankiupt . Act which enacted this, was so obscure, that rend voltiit non dixit. He therefore sent a case to the Court of Fitig's Bench. The LORD CHANCELLOR then ordered.a Solicitor, who had refused to.deliver up his bill pursuant to an order of the Court, to do so within 14 days, or stand committed to his Majesty's Prison of the Fleet. This terminated the present Sittings, and at half after• one his Lordship left the Court. He has gone through all his Bankrupt Petitions, Cause Petitions, and Motions, and has given intimation of his inten tion, during the vacation, to send judgments ■p to the Registrars Office.. 4 ' . °:- .
