I' oF an unfortunate gentleman of the name of Slade, had en opportunity_ of seeing that the most grierous extortion had been practised on the unfortunate bank rupt in some, money dealings which he unluckily had with an agent of the defendant's, the common mode of their dealings being, that, for an indulgence of two months, Mr. Slade should, besides the lawful interest, pay to the defendant a premium of ten per cent. in some instances, and eight per cent. in others, and to the agent a commission of five per cent. for every two months, besides two guineas for a warrant of attorney, stamps, &c. It was from a conviction of the truth of this statement, and a just indignation at such art abominable extortion, that the present ac tion was brought. On an application to the Lord Chancellor, the proof of the defendant's debt, which bad been improvidently allowed under the commis sion, was ordered to be expunged, and the bills and warrants of attorney to be delivered up to the present plaintiff. The defendant had died within these two days, but that circumstance did not prevent the pre sent action from proceeding, the cause having stood in the paper from the first day of the present Sittings, and being, therefore, to be understood as tried on that day, at which time the defendant was alive. Mr. Slade, who had formerly been a gentleman of furtune, which he had lost by some unfortunate spe culations in machinery, and who being a connoisseur in pictures, of which he had a considerable collec tion, did, by the advice of his friends, and among others of Lord Kinnaird, then become a dealer in pictures, proved the case as stated by the Attorney- General. He proved three different renewals of a bill for £3OO, and of a bill for £350, by a person of the name of Launcelot, as .igent for the defendant, on the first renewal of each of which there was paid, besides the legal interest, a premium of ten per cent. for the defendant, a commission of five per cent. to the agent, two guineas for a uarrant of attorney, be sides stamps • and on the two after-renewals, 8 per cent. to the defendant, and the other charges as be fore ; each of these six different payments being for renewals of two months each. Mr. JERVIS, for the defendant, argued that the' usury had not been fixed upon the defendant (whom he sated to have died two days ago). Mr. Justice BAILEY left that point to the Jury, who would say whether the acts of Mr. Launcelot had been so recognised by the defendant, as to shew his privity to the usury ? The Jury, with very little hesitation, found their verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages £56.50. Lord Holland, Lord Mahon, and several other persons of distiction, sat on the Bench during the trial. Lord Holland remained to the end, and seemed highly pleased with the clear and perspicuous charge of the Learned Judge to the Jury. NORTH V. BRYAN. This was a horse cause. The plaintiff had pur-1 chased, for the sum of '7O guineas, a horse of the de fendant, who keeps livery stables, which was war ranted sound, but which turned out to have a splint. As is usually the case in horse causes, there was much contradictory evidence—the plaintiff producing several respectable veterinary surgeons, who proved the unsoundness of the horse; and the defendant pro ducing as many " farriers by nature and education" as one of them called himself, " and no veterinary theorists," who swore to the soundness of the animal. They admitted, however, that the horse's action was so bad that many might mistake it for lameness — and, though they admitted the splint, they denied that to be an unsoundness.--The Jury found their verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 413 los.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. HICK'S HALL, DECEMBER 7. THE KING V. JOHN TIM:. This was an indictment which excited a considera ble degree of public interest, as it will probably pre vent in future a practice which has been for a long time adopted in gross violation of public decency, that of bathing publicly in the New River. The in dictment charged the Defendant with unlawfully ex posing himself naked by bathing in the New River publicly, in presence of divers persons in a certain place contiguous to Highbury-place. It appeared in evidence that the Defendant, who is an inhabitant of Islington, went on the evening of the 29th of June last, for the purpose of bathing in the New River, at the foot of the notice post which had been erected for the purpose of warning the public' against bathing in that river ; that two constables had told him at the time that he ought not to do so ; but that tke Defendant insisted he had a right to do so, and would assert it, and accordingly stripped and bathed, and afterwards ran naked for some distance in the field, in front of the houses of Highbury-place..l The Court, on summing up the evidence, reprobated the practice that had so long prevailed, as highly sub versive of public decency, and contrary to law. The Jury found the Defendant guilty, and the Court sen tenced the Defendant to two months imprisonment in Newgate ; and declared that they inflicted so mild a punishment, only in consideration that it was the first offence of this kind brought before them ; and that probably many offended in this respect through igno rance of the law_; but that, in future, should such a HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. case be brought before them, they would inflict a most Morning- .. -44 minutes aver S • exemplary punishment on the offender.

After initiation into every hrancli of practise, we contemplated the sufferings of siphylitic and debilitated Patients, and formA wish to rescue Individuals from the ignorance of uneducated men, or the equally dangerous precipitancy or general plactitioners. The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our atten don, comprise every species of Venereal (life. lion, whether recent or long duration : Edly, All kind; of debility, whether arising from the habits of school-boys, or the indulger:cies of ma ture age.—Nutnerous diseases are the result of ignorance, or haste in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhoea, and it not unfre quentlyihappens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indis cretion of an unguarded hour. By a superior method such complaints are ea Lily cured ; and even where others have failed, we trust that we may pr esume to offer a radical re-establishment. Few, however, are the cases of complicated digress in t%is is. order, compared with the calamitous situations of men, who, from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties of a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the un avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits. Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, hut ell fully conceals his misfortune, it may be some consolation her him to know, that although it be an object of doubt or uNcertuii-7 with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by the gradual progress of renovation is the acquirement of our experieuct. if the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce nial.'y vigour, much anxiety *ill be prevented by an early counteracioa of this languid state,and in those cases, no great difficulty will sees. But where this deficiency has for years existed, a proper per.;_ verance is indispensibly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life, and to re-animate the constitution.

E. LEIGH and Co. Surgeons. No. 2!4, Atunciel-street- CHALLENGE. MESSRS. CUkRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in his Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a single instance where their Medicine and method of cure Lave failed of the desired effect. The practice of many year, in tHs particular branch of their profession has not given rise to unsuccessful case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of both sexes; in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren ness ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dis tressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate efEcts, while con sumptions,loss of mustmlar power, and various nervous complaints usually characterise the earlier stages of this solitary vice. Of per sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their treatment is simple and has never proved onsucce:sful, in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In tie most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, luck as obstructions in the urethra, springy excrescences, hard tu mours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, glects, as also STRICTURES, Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the skill of other Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which often 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 are, the total eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expaii tious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complaint is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound aati serous health. But where the debility has for years existed, proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the St:ie. ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life, 2nd to reanimate the Constitution. Several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of the first respectability, have been under the care of Messrs.
