LIVER COMMA I NT& (FROBI lITUKAI. ADVBX4 Ssit—The following directions, &c. were Given by Mr. %bee nethy, in the year 1813, to a Gentleman labouring under a Liver Complaint. I think a perusal of them will be of use to many of your numerous subscribers ; and in requesting you to give them publicity,i can, from particular circumstances, assure you they are, as nearly as possible, verbatim. I beg to remain, Sir, your constant reatler,—Lambeth, August 28, 18'24. 1•• 1) Mr. Aberhethy's Prescription and Directions for Liver . . Co . mpoints. " Rise early, Walk one hour before you take your b:eakfast, let it he son.etLing that will agree with you, 411 t and easy of digestion, hot tea. Eat nothing in less, than three hours siter a meal, nor go longer than six hours with.iut eating, 1014 e this complaint is on you, and chdose food of easy digestion for dinner. Hunger and thirst are incompatible; therefore drink nothing with your dinnef, that you may avoid diluting youi gastric juice too much, and thereby render it inert, and pieveat its producing its proper action on your food. Two glasses of wine, however, may be allowed as a sti mulus to the stomadt. It iS probable that in two hours after dinner you will be thirsty ; you may then drink, but in a moderate quantity. Avoid smoking tobacco, and fermented liquors. Use no exercise in less than three hours after eating t full meal, that ail the energies tl . your body may Use an Opptnjunity of exerting themselves in digesting yonrfood. You may then walk, ride, or use what exercise you please. Take no supper, tiniest yin* dine early, and then let the food be light: be in bed by ten o'cloek—Eiit stomach—enter bowels: ...Question—Are you costive? answer, yes.—Take a little lenitive electuary, sufficient to produce a gentle motion. Avoid purging. The feces should be brown, the colour of rhubarb and water niiied. When of an olive or soot colour, or black, the bile is vitiated; when of a lightei yello* thin the fine brown, the bile is healthy, but nqt toured out in sufficient quantity, or diluted too much with liquids that you take. The remedy against vitiated bile, or deficiency in the biliary function, is to take every other night the common blue mercury pill, called pilula hydrarg. to he purchased in a mass of one ounce, at Apothecaiies' Hall, to be made into pills by yourself, as you want them ; each pill, the size of a mar row-fat pea, will contain about five grains of mercury. This is the most valuable medicine yet known as an al terative. It must on no account be taken in a greater quantity than here specified. I am a surgeon, and know from experience that any quantity of mercury taken by the hub= subject, approximating to saliva tion, injures the functions of the liver for a great length of time afterwards. The small quantity that I have here laid down can hurt no one ; and, as I again repeat, met cury is the only medicine that can at all be depended upon for producing a healthy action in a morbid liver or spleen. Should this quantity affect the gums or throat, you must then lower it till nb such affection be produced, or but just felt. I see no objection to your sting yourself in cold water or cold bath. " If you feel a desire to drink between breakfast and dinner, you may take a little ginger or pennyroyal tea, trade weak, which is to be considered as a stimulus to the stomach instead of bitters. ‘‘ Should the stomach become weak after taking mer cury for any length of time, purchase at Apothecaries' Il.tll one-fourth 11. Cascaiilla bark, infuse every limn ing oue.fourth ounce in siz spoonsful of hot water, which cover up for two hours: take this quantity with a piece of ship biscuit, four hours after breakfast." Mr. Abernethy, like all other practitioncts who take up a fa vourite medicine, in general carries its use too far. Blue pill—blue pill, ad i/finituns, is bis hobby. We think it an excellent alterative, but it must neither be taken too frequently; nor long continued.— A dose once a week is enough, and in the intermediate time a litde rhubarb and magnesia is the best medicirte.—En. TO MAKE MOCK MADERIA WINE. To eighteen gallons of water put fifty-four pounds of fine moist sugar; boil it for half an hour, and skim it well. When cold, put to every gallon one quart of new ale out of the vat, and let it work in the tub two days; then put it into a cask, and when it is done fermenting, put to it one pound of suar•candv, six pounds of jar-! raisin, t:+•o bottles of brandy, and two onnces of isin glass dissolved in some of the %%Ole. Stop it down and let it stand one year in the cask, then bottle it. N.B.—S .me prefer setting the sugar and water to work in one vessel, and the ale in another, for two days, and then mixing them to lut into the cask.

Put seven pounds of Malaga or Smyrna raisins to et ei y gallon of water ; let the water and the fruit stand in an open vessel five or six weeks, stirring it daily ; then press it off, and put it into casks; lay the bung lightly on the barrel, till the fermentation is subsided, then drive it in tight, and put one quart of French brandy to every twenty.two POPULATION.—A woman named r iibondeau, of Vire (S.uthv, whose existence, we are sure, Mr. Malthus would consider an outrage upon humanity, was deli vered of four children at a bi,th, in 1823; and, it seems, mot being propeily 'punished for this offence, she re. prated it in August last,•by bringing three girls and a tov into this breathing world.—Literary Gazette. Tuesday morning a man of the name of George' Cnnder, formerly keeper of a sedan chair, at Beverley, was employed in tl.e brewhouse belonging to the Be. Kerley Aims Inn, when he unfortunately fell into the under-beck, and was to dreadfully scalded that he ex pired the same evening, about nine o'clock, in excru ciating agonies. Notwithqan:ling his perilous situation, the poor man actually extricated himself, without help, from the under-beck, and w.:is found a few mi nutes after. He has left a lai3e family, solely depend ent on him for support. • Tuesday, part ot a Roinan Villa was opened at Wig :!,ititon, in Oxfordshire, in a field belonging to Gxosce Writ:, Esq. of Broughton Castle, when a room, 20 feet long and 14 wide, was completely uncovered, and a great portion of the tesselated pave ment was found nearly perfect. i lh-re are other remains scattered over a consideraole extent, which have not yet been examined. Tuesday evening a fire as discovered in the upper room of a warehowe in Atherton-street, Liverpool, in which was Isoixlesi toffee. Tire d,.or having been forced open, a leather hose from the West of England engine was cu.'. vt yed up the stairs ; and, by dint of great exertion, the progress of the flames was rpeedily arrested.

LIMERICK, SEPTEMBER 23. Monday morning, • number" of rfrasOns went to the Yorth Strand, in consequence of several they called colts, being employed at the coarse or ptepitatory works of the bridge quays, and as soon as they were seen approaching the extended scene of action, the colts ran off with the celerity of racers. DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 23. DISGRACEFUL. OUTRAGE.—Tuestky evening, about nine o'clock, a man knocked at the door of Mr. Monitt joy, South Clarence-street, Dublin, and the servant haw ing incautiously opened the door, a number of ruffilos gained entrance, ar.d ruchinp, up stairs to Mr. Mountjoy's bed-room, armed with sticks, dragged him fiozn his bed into the sheet, and assaulted his in a very cruel 'itoner. While these villains were thus occupied, another gang mitside {stoke the windows, and all instantly deputed, after having fi;ed a shot, as it is supposed, front a pis tol. This attack, so shocking to human nattne, is, it seems, the result of combination. Mr. Mountjoy is a master-builder, employs a man named Delany,-whom the trade designate a colt, and the ferocious assault com mitted is a specimen in the way of Captain Rock's admi nistration of justice, which cannot be put down or pu nished with too much expedition. GLASGOW. SEPTEMBER 423. The cloth lappersiuGlakgow lately struck work, and many of them being under attual contract for periods unexpired, their masters presented applications against these to the Justices of the Peace, founding them both on the Common Law, and also on the Act 4 Gen. IV. c. 34, sec. 3. It is enacted by that Statute, that if arti ficers, handicraft-men, or other persons, shall contract to serve for any period, and shall absent themselves befote the completion of the contract, or shall be guilty of any misbehaviour or misdemeanour during their service, they shall, on conviction, be committed to Bridewell, and kept to hard labour for a period not exceeding three months, and forfeit their wages during their confinement. The complainants craved that the offenders should be punished in terms of the Act, or, in the masters' option, be imprisoned until they found security to-returit to their service, and complete their contracts. Four of the cloth Tappers were apprehended, and brought on Sa turday List before J. Wingate, Esq. one of the Justices, when the contracts were clearly proved. The reason assigned by the workers for desertion of their service was, that the masters refused to accede to certain proposals, one of which was to shorten the hours of labour. To this it was answered, tbat the defendants were bound to fulfil their contracts. Mr. Wingate stated, that he had no alternative but to inflict the penalties imposed by the Act of Parliament; but before pronounc ing sentence, be asked the masters whether they would take the defendants back to their employment, on their finding satisfactory security to complete their contracts ?—adding, however, that this was entirely in the masters' option. The latter agreed, as the defendants were individually respectable, to take them back on these terms, and of this indulgence they availed themselves by finding security accordingly. The journeymen shoemakers have struck work ; and yesterday the workmen in the extensive foundery of Messrs. Girdwood and Co. of this city, after having struck work. and again returned to their business, gave Notice that, at the end of a fortnight, if the rules they had drawn up were not acceded to by their present em ployes*, they would drop work. These rules, we hear, generally go to prevent any persons but such as they consider proper from getting into the business, or of being employed by the masters. In consequence of these proceedings, the masters of the fonnderirs in this city and neighbourhood, have, at a general meeting held here on Tuesday, resolved not to employ any of the workmen from Messrs. Girdwood and Co.'s works, who may leave them, fur the reasons and objects specified. JAMES 11. FRO( A PARIS PAPER. In announcing that the remains of James the Second, King of England, had been found at St. Germain-en- Laye, we believe, we remarked, that it seemed to ut George the Fourth would display a noble generosity, by offering to the manes of an unfortunate Monarch some striking proof that he took an interest iu the dis covery. The wish we expressed was not expressed in vain: the English Ambassador was ordered to pay all respect to the mortal remains ofJames ; M. A. Paterson, Bishop of Cybistra and of Edinburgh, in partibus, was invited to preside at the ceremony which took place at St. Get main, on Thursday, the 9th instant. M. Shelon, a Catholic Gentleman, represented the British Ambas sador; Marshal M'Donald, the Sardinian Ambassador ; the Duke Fitz-James, the Abbe Mellott, and many other English and French persons of distinction were present on this occasion. The Bishop celebrated Miss, assisted by the Vicclesiastics of his nation, and pro nounced a discourse, in which he dwelt on the misfor tunes and the courage of a religious Prince, and on the magnanimity of the present King of England. It was really a singular spectacle to behold such honours rendered to a Stuart, by a Prince of the House of Brunswick, and George IV. by conduct so noble, seemed to atone for the rigour of his ancestors. On this subject, the Bishop of Cybistra offered some re- Sections, which were equally wise and pious, and re- 1 mat ked that England had given to our Princes, and to many French refugees, the same aid which LOUIS XIV. had granted to James the Second, and to the English devoted to his cause. We see with pleasure that the French Guards were I ordered to render to the remains of James the Second, the honours due to Royalty. The heart of the Monarch, that of his Queen, and that of, their youngest daughter, who died at the age of nineteen, remain in the Chapel of the Scotch College, in Paris. A Jamaica Paper of the 11th ult. says—" We some time ago briefly noticed the death of George Frederick Augustus, King of the Mosquito Indians. We have re cently acquired the particulars of his decease. It ap pears his Nlajesty retired in the afternoon, in a state of intoxication, to his royal couch, and•to the arms of his Queen, who, taking advantage of his condition, with the assistance of two Nobles of the Court, strangled him in his first nap, and afterwards deposited the corpse in a piece of water contiguous to the Palace. Suspicion of the foul act having fallen on her Majesty, the sages of the kingdom assembled for the purpose of investi gating the circumstances relative to the traitorous as sassination. After four deliberations, a conclusion cri• minating the Queen and her two associates, took place, and they were sentenced to be hanged, which ignomi nious award was speedily carried into effect. At the• foot of the gallows, the guilty Queen acknowledged the justice of the sentence, and confessed having been insti gated to the deed by a foreign resident at Cape Gra , tins a Dios. It appears the throne of the kingdom is lelective, and that the Strpetintendant at Honduras has. a political influence in the election. There are at pre sent two candidates for• the vacant throne—the brother and the ceusin of the murdered King ; and the voice of. the Soperintendant, through the agency of an envoy,• will decide the election." Wednesday rr.orning, a fire broke out in the oast house of Mr. Annarws, at Longford 11W, near Meophant. It de- -troyed the o.tsthouse, and a large table adjoining, and about twelve hundred weight of hops. r________ I POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ANSIOII-H OUSE. S.turday, Joshua ?salvia; 1- young man of respectable appear ance, who was examined a few days- since, on a charge of forghts a check on Messrs. Williams and Co. the bankers, for £2OO, under went another examination. Mr. Curwood attended as his Counsel. The Solicitor for the prosecution said be bad not yet obtained any additional evidence against the prisoner, and he-was remanded till Friday, to give theprosecutor time to make further inquiries. - • - BOW-STRERt. • Peter Wan!, a poor Irish labourer, W 23 charged with unlawfully entering the dwelling-house of Dennis Mitchell, at Parson's-green, on Thursday morning last, and carrying away five loaves, hi; pro perty. In answer to the charge, the defendant said, that on Wed nesday night lie bought a two pound loaf at M-. Mitchell's shop, and found It four ounce.: short of weight. He complained to Sir John Lilly of the loaf. • Sir John sent Hawkins, a constable, Nit' the pari-h scales, and directed bim to weigh all the loaves in Mit chell's shop, and bring away those which were short of weight ; at the same time giving Hawkins a summons for Mitchell tc appear before him and account for selling bread short of weight. Mr. blnisnot.t. considered that Mitchell was acting illegally in the first in-tance, in selling bread short of weight, and that Ward, who bad complied with the authority of the Magistrate, must be dis charged. Sir John Lilly, he considered, had acted - ou his own view of the case, and if the complainant thought proper, he could bring an action against bins. MA RLBOROUO 11-STREET. Some expectation was entertained on Saturday, that Mr. Faun:- leroy would be brought up for further examination, and many cre ditors were loitering in the vicinity of the Office throughout the day. When the hour of closing busiuess (three o'clock) arrived, it was ascertained that 11r. Fauntleroy would not be brought up, and that an order was prepared for transmission to the (louse of Correc tion, for his further remand until a future day. As the Solicitor for the Bank of England intimated the week before, that he was ready on the part of the Bank to proceed to trial upon the depo-i -thins then given, it is presumed that the case is cloned so far as the forged transfer of stock is involved, and from the grave and exten sive nature of the charges against Mr. Fauntleroy already disclosed, it is unlikely that any further case will be unnecessarily brought for ward; nothing, then, will remain, but to make out the prisoner's final committal for trial at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions. A young man, named Main, was charged by his master, Mr. C;randin, a jeweller of Macclesfield -street, Soho, for robbing him of some gold, jewellery, &c. Mr. Grandin stated, that having !on many articles of gold, &c. which he Used in his business, be made inquiries, and having reason to suspect the prisoner, be caused him to be apprehended. Clements, an officer, said, that having re ceived the warrant for the prisoner's apprehension, he went to his buiginga in the neighbourhood of Bethnal.green, and there found the pieces of gold, fewellery, and six sovereigns, in a small box. The gold, tc . were produced; among them was tine piece three inches in diameter, the ethers were much smaller, and appeared to be the cuttings of larger pieces. The gold and the jewellery Mr. Grandin said he believed to be his property; but at present he was unable to identify them. The prisoner was upon the point of speaking, when Mr. Grandin hinted, that upon the property being returned he would settle it. The prisoner's father at that moment entered the office, and was greatly incensed that his son was charged with robbery, and inveighed against any attempt at compromising the charge. The prisoner was then remanded until Wednesday. II ATTON-GARDF.N. Elisabeth Griffiths, a woman about silty years of age, of most wretched appearance, was brought up on Saturday, from Saffron bill watch-house, under the following circumstances ; A watchman stated that, on the preceding night, about eleven o'clock, his attention was attracted to a crowd assembled in Cow yard, a small court off Liquorpond-street, Gray's Inn-lane. He there saw this poor woman lying down, apparently in the last state of exhaustion from want of sustenance; he took her to the watch house, where every comfort was afforded her, but of which she was scarcely capable of partaking, so debilitated was her frame. The appearance of the woman in the office excited general sympathy. When asked by the Magistrate to account for her situation, she stated as follows:—That she was an American by birth, bon' in Philadelphia, of respectable parents; that many years ago she came to this country, whet she was induced to marry a soldier in a Scotch regiment. She accompanied him to Ireland, when his te. giment was ordered there to quell the rebellion of 1798, when she had the misfortune herself to witness her husband, as also two brothers, being shot in battle. General Duncan, under whom they fought, commiserating her situation, allowed her, during his life time, 51. a year. She was above twenty years its Bath, part of the time in service, and latterly in business, in which having failed, she was advised to come to London. Here she went about selling various little articles in the hardware-line, until she was taken up in thri neighbourhood of 'Brixton, and, under the " Hawkers' and Pedlere Act," in defaiilt of having a license, was brought before the Magistrates at Brixton, who committed her to prison for a month. On coming out a few days ago, she was compelled to pawn the few articles of wearing-apparel which she bad left for her subsistence, and thus destitute and famishing, she laid herself down where the Watchman and others found her. Her case excited strongly the commiseration of the worthy Magistrate who presided, who, after giving her pecuniary relief himself, sent her, under the care of an officer, to the Mendicity Society, with a request that they would take her case under their consideration. 1 THE KIDNAPPED CHlLD.—Charlotte Shaw was ex amined at Leeds, on Tuesday, upon the charge of child• stealing. Had not the greatest care been taken, the mob would haverorn her to pieces. Crowds of persons were assembled round the .Court-house during the examina tion ; and On her return to prison, she Was assailed with the most hidecius yells, and shouts of " Starve her, gaoler! starve her !" So eager were the crowd to have a glimpse of the little boy, that he was exhibited from a window of the Court-house, and was loudly cheered by the po pulace. In the course of the examination it was proved that the name of the prisoner is Charlotte Peck, and she now states herself - to be a native of Hampshire. She appears quite careless as to her fate, and refuses to assign .any reason for her extraordinary conduct. The child has been very ill-treited by her. She was fully com mitted to York *Castle, but owing to the irritated 'state of the minds of the populace, it was deemed necessary to detain her at Leeds, in close confinement, until Thurs day morning last, *hen, about five o'clock, she was re moved to York, where she will remain until March next. Sunday se'nnight, while Mr Alexander Mackey, of the Wesleyan Methodist connexion, was about to com mence worship in the market house of Smithfield, Bel fast, an Outrageous mob began to assemble, evidently with a design to interrupt the worship, and disturb the congregation. They commenced by shouting and huz zaing, so as completely to drown the preacher's voice. But not content with this, they selected some persons in the skirts of the congregation, whom they began to beat and abuse most Violently, and having so fir succeeded in creating a riot, the entire mob came in a body, with tremendous shouting, and endeavour cello break throUgh the congregation, doubtless to pit down and silence the preacher. This design, however, was defeated by the firmness of both, and messengers being dispatched to the police-office, a constable was procured, who hav ing taken one or two rioters into custody, order was partially restored. Several minor attempts had been made on former occasions to disturb this Gentleman, who gratuitously pre:lches in Belfast every Sunday. THE DANISH FLEET.—About this time it was that we learned the success of the attack upon Copenhagen, by the English, which was the first derangement of , secret stipulations of Tilsit, by virtue of which the ,Danish fleet was to be placed at the disposal of France ! -Since the death of Paul I. I never saw Napoleon That himself up to such violent transports of passion. That which astounded him most in that vigorous stroke (tigouleci coup•de main) was the pronotititude with N h ich the English Ildinistry took their resolution.

The Parthian, Hon: Captain Bari ingtnn, arrived at Plymouth on Monday se'nnight. She left England on the Ist of May, with dispatches for Mexico, and on her arrival at Campeachy, on the 16th of June, she received information of a piratical schooner being on the cna t, between the latter place and Vera Cruz, and of her having, only a few days before, taken au English mer chant ship, and in the most inhuman manner murdered all her crew. Captain Barrington immedicely sailed in pursuit, and kept in share as close as was consistent with the safety of the brig, on the look out for the pi rate. The Parthian grounded once, but was soon got off again, and apparently without having sustained any damage. The following morning, at dawn of day, a schooner, answering the description of the pirate, was observed steering after the Pal thian, under all sail, ao doubt taking her for a defenceless merchaiernan, and thinking soon to have a good prize. To keep up the deception, the Parthian was disguised so as to look like a merchant brig, and to prevent her going the (nigh the water too fast, the end of the chain cable was towed overboard, also a hawser, e i h the trawl head irons fast to the end of it, which all had the desired effect ; for the schooner came s' ithin two miles of the Pat Chian hefore she discovered her mistake, when she made all sail for the land (then in sight); the Parthian crowded all sail after her; the breeze being light rather ftvouied the pirate, who occasionally made u e of his sweeps. —The Parthian, however, after an anxious chase of,five hours, got her within gun-shet, when the pirate, seeing it was impossible to escape, ran the vessel on shore. The Parthian anchored in two fathoms and a half out side the pirate, and Captain Barrington immediately dispatched all his boats after her; the pirates seeing them coming, set fire to their vessel and escaped on shore loaded with booty. The Nubian's boats soon boarded her, extinguished the the before it reached the magazine, and brought her off. A party went along shore in search of the pirates, and also into the woods, but were unable to come up with them. The pirate schooner proved to be the San Jose, armed with a long gust raidships, two smaller ones, and a quantity of small arms. On board her was found a list of the crew of the English vessel Shannon, sixteen in number, and Other papers belonging to the English brig Pilgrim, be sides several flags, sextants, spy-glasses, and a great quantity of wearing apparel, all of wnich was Englis); I the crews of the above vessels had doubtless been mur dered by these villains. The schooner was taken to Vera Cruz, and there commissioned by Captain Bar rington as a man ( t 'war to protect the trade in that quarter. Mr. Bradily, an old passed Midshipman, and a very deserving young man, was appointed as acting Lieutenant to command her. The Parthian left Vera Cruz on the 20th of July.
