A the Ilvsian Captains engaged against Napoleon. to their cl.a7acte r, statian, or circumstances. Colonel Jack Daw (Choctaw) sa the:: Ataman of the Grey Cossacks of the Binh Sea; Drainoff ttd:,ctel the Cossacks of the Bog; Tall Staff (Tolstoff) was ..txted to have risen front the rank of Tambour-major ; General Jelly Cheek (Jellachick) showed himself to stand in more close te t#ionsh ? than half name-sake to Sir Andrew Aguecheek, in the ttniedy of Twelfth Night; Prince Bag Ration (Miran* and Count Belly Guard (Bellegard) superintended the Commissariat, provided the Munitions de Bouche, in which department they found able Lieutenants in Prince Lobskouse• (Lobskowitz) and General Salt a Cow, (Soltakow), while the military chest was administered by Colonel Pay Man (Peymann); Admiral Catch a Cc ugh (Chichacoff) may be easily supposed to have experienced a catarrh from change of climate, having hurried from the genial temperature of the Turkish frontier to the frozen swamps of the Beresina, to intercept the retreating French. The Admiral was speedily and most appropriately relieved by Count Mends a Cough ( ent setoff), The Hetman (quasi Hankiar Manslayer) Plato (Platow) quaff ned many to judge practically of the troth of the " Soul's Immor tality." By the way, the proffer of his Daeghter to any officer who should capture Napoleon, was not perfectly Platonic. That he who could take the Emperor would take Miss Platow, is per haps a nos sequitur, the mote especially as the Cavalier in this case must literally "catch a Tartar." Then there was the Generalissimo Czt Us Off (Kutusoff) whose name was rendered so peculiarly ap vo.ite by the results of theßussian campaign ; while Gen.Oysterman (Oster mann), probably on the principle of the proverbial hostility between" two of a trade," was employed to beard the Mussel Men. On the part of the Muscovite officers at present acting in Europe ur Asia, we find little to minister to our whim.

SCOTCH LAWS.—The Glasgow Herald says, " It was lately suggested by a contemporary that drunkards should have their heads shaved in the Police Office, in order, if possible, to terrify them into some sort of decent sobriety ; and we understand that it was at once determined to try this new panacea. On Sa turday night, therefore, an incorrigible toper, in a state of stupor. underwent the first trial under the new regime; and nothing In this world could possibly exceed his astonishment and horror when be put his hand on his head in the morning." If this account be tree, there is no doubt that the infliction of the punishment is quite illegal ; and, in all likelihood, so tar from reforming the drunkard, win, by means of Use ample damages which he is sure to recover, . table him to be drunk all the remainder of his life.—Glasgesii CL: aucle. A N t C DOTE OY Bu n N s.-.-One Sunday morning, some time before Burns commenced author, when he and his brother (.ilbert were going to the parish church of Tarbolton, they got Into company with an old man, a Moravian, travelling to Ayr. It was at that time when the dispute between the old and new light burgh trs was making a great noise in the country; and Burns and the old man entering into conversation on the subject ,differed in their opinions about it, the old man defending the principles of the old light, and Burns the principles of the new light. The disputants at length grew very warm in the debate, and Burns, finding that with all his eloquence he could make nothing of his antagonist, became a little acrimonious, and tauntingly exclaimed, " Oh! I suppose I have met with the apostle Paul this morning." " No," replied the old Moravian coolly, " you have not met with the Apostle Paul, but I think I have met one of those wild beasts which he says he fought with when at Ephesus."

Al though of strictly sedate and religious habits, and although his wife had been many years dead, the effect which the miniature had on hint was singular and surprising. Front the moment of its disco. very until his death, which took place some months afterwards, be neglected all his ordinary duties and employments, and became in a manner imbecile. spending whole days without uttering a word, or betraying the slightest interest in passing occurrences. The only one with whom he would at all hold communication, was a little grandchild, who bore a remarkable likeness to the portrait, and to whom he was perfectly docile. Fe day or two before his death, he gave this grandchild his purse, accompanied with strict injunctions that the would privately lay the picture in the coffin beside him, which she accordingly did, although not without con sulting her relatives, as she bad no opportunity of doing so otherwise. Monday ae'nnight, a lecture, with a view to the form ation of a Temperance Society in Glasgow /—was delivered by Joint Dustier, Esq. one of the'Justices of the Peace for Renfrewshire, in Dr. Dick'i'Lecture Rooth, North Albion-street. It was calcu lated that one hundred and fifti individuals were present, among whom were several females. He commenced by relating that he had bad several conversations.with influential gentlemen of Glas gow on the subject, which was particularly discussed in the Religious Institution Rooms on the 16th ultimo. He bad since visited Stirling, and from the documents brought before a meeting there, the result was the appointment of a standing Committee for gaining information, consisting of five Clergymen, three medical, and a number of lay gentlemen. lie had also cor responded with some individuals in Edinburgh ; and Doctor Edgar, Professor of Divinity in the Belfast College, had lately published a ise on intemperance. A Temperance Society had been established at Wexford, Ireland, and another at Newross. He related some historical facts, principally from medical treatises. on the extent and consequences of the evil, and mentioned that while one-half of the Quakers in London attained the age of 47, one-eighth of the population died before their .111 year. One in 40 of the community, it was calculated, ar rived at 80 ;- while among the Quakers one In 10 reached that age. Alter some-interesting observations, he mentioned that nothing but a complete abstinence from inebriating liquor would produce the desired effect • and he tested this could nut be accomplished so long as the upper classes continued the profuse use of wines, &c. He instanced what had been done in 'America by the establishment of Temperance Societies; and mentioned that in one place three distillers had been given up from conscientious scruples on the part of the proprietors. In another, where 10 grog shops bad been, there are now only two. In the state of Bekhertown, 8,056 gallons of spirits were consumed, while in 18211, by the ex ertions of a society, they were reduced to 2,097. In conclusion, he illustrated the absurdity of supposing that a drunkard can be reclaimed by degrees ; and maintained that this could only be ef iected by a sudden effort. Among tither substitutes, he recom mended the use of tea, collie, chocolate, &c. and a change of the day on which wages ate generally paid—from Saturday to another day in the middle fig the week. After the lecture was concluded, hir. Dunlop, in a kindly manner, thanked the audience for the at tention they bad evinced to his remarks. , 1 .; ,J 1! . i 1 il SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A great personage, on being told that the Editors of some peri odical papers had stated that he was nearly blind, observed, with a smile, I can see further into their politics than they imagine." The fact is, his vision is as good at this time as it has been for the last thirty years, and there is no disease going on in either eye. Dr. Robert Bree, the celebrated Author of a wretched eompi lation on diseases of the Chest, now only about seventy-five years of age, hashed the good fortune to meet wills a rib, in her thirtieth. In consequence of this union, the Doctor has told his friends that he has given up practice. The Doctor gave a preference to Lea mington for the honey-moon season, which, from appearances, is likely to last the winter. The corrections, &c. of the new London Pharmacopeia go on so slowly, that it is very doubtful if it will appear for some years. The learned members, we understand, cannot agree as to the omission of some articles and the introduction of other,. Some violently object to extemporaneous formula, and even directions for making ointments, &c. used in surgery ; and others are as violent for their insertion. Great difference of opinion also exists respecting the adoption of the new chemical names. The Professor at Cambridge says, that the medical men in hie neighbourhood are not yet be come acquainted with the last new names I! What is to be done when such learned doctors disagree? They all, however, seem to dread the chemical criticism their " aew labours" will undergo. Paris is a great man among some of there ; but in consequence of the non-sale, we may indeed say the death of his medical chemistry in its infancy, a little one with the few who have any knowledge of chemistry. The President semis to sleep ever it. Tuthill coin plains bitterly of the limited sale of his translation. Excessive TIMM—Dr. Ailert, a German physician, relates a cue of excessive thirst in a female, apparently not depending on any organic change. The quantity of water which she had already drank was very great, without any alleviation of the intolerable thirst. A quarter of a piut of strong camphorated julep, taken every two bouts, speedily allayed the malady, after every other means had failed. Locizo JAW.—An Italian journal relates the case of a woman affected with locked jaw, following a slight wound of the forehead, which was cured by applying acetate of morphine to a blistered surface on the nape of the neck. Thus applied, it speedily exerted its peculiar antispasmodic powers, although, when administered in ternally, it proved of no avail. Se. Vmett's Duica.—Dr. Elliotson lately cured a girl about tea years of age who was of with a severe degree of St. Vitus's dance, by giving her two drachms of the sub-carbonate of iroa every six hours. In his remarks on her case, he observes, that this practice was much more efficacious than the purgative plan so strongly recommended by Dr. Hamilton, of Edinburgh. He has cared twenty cases by the sub-carbonate of iron. &CUMIN &RIDING aroma Errnacnon or • T00TM.....115. Cortez, an eminent surgeon of -Gibraltar. has published a case of excessive escape of blood after the extraction of a tooth, in which the introduction of soft bees-wax, of the same size and shape of the tooth, into the cavity, effectually succeeded in° compressing the lacerated vessel or vessels. When a tooth has more than one fang this practice it more likely to prove successful than the plan of in. troducing a plug of compretted dried sponge, recommended by a correspondent in one of our early numbers, on account of its admitting of being forced into all the divisions of the cavity by pressure. ASTNMA, &c.—The saturated etherial tincture of Lobelia inflata has been very generally prescribed in eases of spasmodic asthma and diffi culty of Needling, attended with insufficient expectoratioe ; and from the numerous reports we have received of its effects, it has been uniformly attended with the same happy results as noticed by Dr. John Andrew, of Glasgow, and the American physicians. —ln some cases which have occurred in our own practice, it has acted like a charm, in subduing the spasmodic constriction in a few minutes. It not only allays the irritation about the glottis, but promotes expectoration. For the chronic winter-cough it is also an excellent remedy. Smoking the herb is a powerful preventive of the paroxysm. The dose of the saturated etherial tincture is from thirty to forty drops in a glass of camphorated julep, or a cold infusion of rosemary or peppermint tea.—Monthly Gazette of Health, Oct. 1. PALACE COURT, October 2. /11.14 DY V. VIDITI.S. Mr. B►coN stated that this was an action by a surgeon, residing in Stamford-street, Waterloo-road, against Catherine Wintle, a milliner, living in the same neighbourhood, to recover a sum of X 5. Zs. 6d for medicine furnished to her. The defendant admitted the surgeon's bill, but pleaded a set off, and the question for the jury then was as to the fairness of the defendant's bill of .C 5. 10.. for a cloak for the doctor's lady, furnished in November 1825. Mr. FLANNMAN, for the defendant, said that this was one of the many instances in which medical Gentlemen, he meant pushing young Gentlemen, adroitly introduced themselves into families.— The defendant was taken ill, and thought proper to prescribe for herself. She sent to the plaintiff's shop for a blister ; the plaintiff seemed very anxious about the application of it. To her astonish ment, the defendant was the next day honoured by a visit from the plaintiff, who, after repeating his attentions for a abort period, fell In love—the Jury would be surprised to hear that, as he was a married man, but, for the honour of married men, he felt himself bound to explain that his affections were placed—not on the young milliner, but on some beautiful silk cloaks which were then making for the Lady Mayoreu •and the Bishop of London's Lady. Silk cloaks were then coming into fashion, and Mr. Handy determined that Mrs. Handy should have a splendid cloak of blue silk lined with amber. It was to be made in a superior manner, which was done, and every thing went weU till the bill came in, when it was . disputed. The defendant !sedum home 7a. worth of phials to the plaintiff, and had tendered Is. ad. and as the'plaintirs hill had originally amounted to 51. 19s. deducting:7s. for the phials, he had no doubt but the Jury would consider that the half-crown would be all the plaintiff was entitled to. The Learned Counsel called almost an army of milliners, linen. drapers,and cloak-makers, who all deposed that the charges were very moderate. The Counsel for the plaintiff also called several, who said that less than W. would have been ample payment foe the cloak. The Jury returned a verdict fur the defendant. It is whispered that a certain Irish orator, in the pleni tude of his zeal, means to move in the next &Woo of Parliament for leave to bring in a Bill to authorise Roman Catholic Prelates to assume the same rank and privileges as the Protestant Church Dig nitaries, with the exception that the latter should be allowed the precedei,ce of the former. • Such measures as these are of Course to be expected from Popish bigotry. TheSOLICITOR-GENERAL, in his speech on returning thanks on his health being drank at the inauguration dinner of the New Sheriffs, at Vintners' Hall, on Wednesday, laid partimder stress on his own disposition, both in his present and any future office he may arrive at, to execute the laWs with lea,esedeni wisich some of the company took as as intimation that the Learned Gentle. man was hat anrpiny to the recent prosecution' against the press. Thursday afternoon, ddring the temporal:). .absence of one of the clerks from the counting-house of Messrs, BASCLAT and Patents, the brewers. a cash.box, containing. ASO, alflo..and .15 notes, to the amount of £413; was stolen, with the whale of its contents, betide' melte in sovereigns and ha lf-anvereigets. There is no clue as yet to the thief. On the same afternoon a man, about five feet seven inches in height, drissed in black, and having a white handkerchief over his left eye, entered the shop of Mr. Lit. deford, a watchmaker in Long-lane, Bermondsey, and . stole thirty silver watches. The thief was seen at the =bent at tits leaving the shop with the above property, but, altholigh puratted, he escasiet. down one of the turnings leading out of the above lane. " • FUNERAL' OF WILLIAM HUNT, Esq. Yesterday, the funeral of William Hunt, Esq. whose munificent donation to Guy's Hospital, has been already recorded, took place. Inds will the deceased expressly directed that neither pomp nor os tentation of any description should prevail at his interment, and accordingly, those individuals who had the superintendence of the ceremony complied with the injunctions of the deceased gentleman. At eight o'clock in the morning the hearse, which was adorned with plumes of black feathers, drawn by six horses, and contain ing the body of the deceased, inclosed in a leaden coffin, which was incased in one of oak, set out from the late residence of the de ceased, at Petersham, in Surrey, followed b t two mourning coaches and the private carriages of the three executors. In the first mourning coach were the Rev. hlr. Bean, the Rector of Peter sham, Admiral Scott, and Benjamin Harrison, Esq. the Treasurer of Guy's Hospital. The other mourning coach contained the four domestics of the deceased. At eleven o'clock the funeral procession arrived at the outer gates of Guy's Hospital,within which were assembled the Goverti r ors, and the whole strength of the medical and surgical staff, belonging to the institution. The coffin was then taken from the hearse, and borne by eight men to the hall of the Hospital, the men and women servants all neatly dressed in black, forming as avenue on each side of the court-yard, through which it passed, followed by the thief mourners, the Governors of the Hospital, &c. In the Hall of the Hospital the'coffin was deposited on trestles, where it remained for some time, and from thence it was borne into the Chapel of the Hospital, where the first portion of the Bu rial Service was read in a most impressive manner by the Rev. Ur. Bean, who officiated on the solemn occasion. The Chaplains of Guy's and Sr. Thomas's Hospitals were also present during the service. From the Chapel the coffin containing the remains of the deceased was borne by mutes round the spacious court in front of the Institution, followed by the chief mourners and the other in dividuals forming the procession, ..nd passed close by the statue of Mr. Guy, the beneficent founder of the Hospital. The coffin was then borne into the vault, which was lit up on the occasion, and placed next to that of Mr. Guy. The remainder of the Burial Service having been read, the funeral then concluded. The inscription on the deceased's coffin is to this effect; K Wm. Hunt, Esq of Petersham, Surrey, died 23d Sept. 1829, aged 78 years." In the same vault, which is a very spacious one, are also deposited the remains of nine other persons, besides the founder of the Hospital and that of %Ir. Hunt, and from the inscriptions on their coffins, it seems that they had been all connected with the Institution in their lifetime. The coffin containing the remains of Mr. Guy, is inclosed in one of stone, and the inscription describes that he died on the 27th of Dec. 1724, aged 60 years, and was buried in the vault of St. Thomas's Church, from whence it was removed to the present place of interment on the 4th of Sept. 1780. By his will, the late Mr. Hunt bequeathed a sum of 5,0001. to each of his executors, namely, B. Harrison, J. B. Heath, and F. Farr, Esqrs. Besides the princely donation left to Guy's Hospital by the deceased, the sums of 1,0001. each to St. Thomas's Hos pital, the Refuge for the Destitute, and the Philanthropic Institu tion, he has also settled annuities on his four domestics, to one of whom, his cook, who, it appears, met with an accident while she was in his service, he has settled 1001. per annum, and on the other three annuities of 301. each. In his will he has directed that no hatchmenc shall be placed upon his house, neither bas he men tioned that rings or any other description of presents, in remem brance of the donor, should be distributed amongst his friends and acquaintances. The deceased accumulated his immense fortune in the silk trade, whirls be followed for several years, and resided formerly in Bishopsgate-street, near the London Tavern. He has been a Governor of Guy's and St. Thomas's liespital for a period of nearly thirty years. It is rumoured that he has not a smile rela tive living. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL ,leas Crotwde► was charged with having stolen divers articles, the property of her master. The prisoner was cook in the family of Mr. King, a shoe con tractor, in Castle-street, Holborn. That Gentleman had recently died, and it was during the period his ►ody was lying in the house that the depredations were discovered. The immediate cause of the discovery was her having been found several times in a state of intoxication, and from what she threw up ft was meet twined that wine was the liquor with which she had solaced her leisure moments. The con of the deceased, in consequence, entertained suspicion as to the manner in which she could procure wine in such large quantities, and On Sunday evening, when she was in a state of vomitation, as it is now termed, a search was made, and the re suit such as to cause inquiries to be made in the neighbourhood, when it was found that several articles belonging to the deceased had been pawned at various pawnbrokers. The prisoner was given into custody and searched, and the duplicates taken from her. The prisoner, in her defence, said that she had pawned the arti des is order to defray the expenses of the house, and to pay her own wages. It turned out, however, on a comparison of dates, that the arti cles had been pledged some time before her quarter's wages were due.—She was fully committed to take her trial. BOW-STREET. Mr. W. Wiltshire, of Conduit-street, Bond-street, merchant, and Mr. Archibald Robertson, also a merchant, but whose address was not stated, appeared to =ewer the complaint of ;lose► Delaventa, for an arrest and false imprisonment under the circumstances stated in our Paper of yesterday. Moses Delaventa was called, and repeated the statement made by ➢dr. Isaacs on Thursday, and which he swore, through the me dium of Mr. Cohen, a linguist, who acted as sworn interpreter, to be perfectly true in every respect. In answer to the charge, Messrs. Wilshire and Robertson ad mitted that they bad obtained a confession from the complainant of his participation in the robbery at Mogadore, and that they had made use of some threats in order to procure that confession. Mr. blinsnots. asked what use was intended to be made of that confession? and Mr. Wiltshire admitted that be meant to send it out to Mogadore, to be used against a third person, named Skase, who was accused of being a party to the robbery at that place. A very long discussion took place between the Magistrates, the party accused, and Mr. Isaacs, which terminated in Mr. Alresitutt. expressing himself to the following effect :—lt is my opinion that a very gross violation of the liberty of the subject has taken place. The complainant In this case, the moment he landed in this coun try, was entitled to the full protection of its laws, and the means resorted to by the defendants to obtain a confession were perfectly unjustifiable. This is the mildest view I can take of the case, and I must call upon the defendants to give very heavy bail for their appearance at the Sessions to answer the charge which has been preferred. Mr. Hats said be perfectly agreed with his worthy culleague in the view he had taken of the subject, and finally the two de fendants, Mr. Wilshire and Mr. Robertson, ware held to bail, each himself in 41,000, and two sureties in £.500. each—making in the whole £4,000. The defendants immediately found the re spired sureties. HATTON GARDEN. New Pouce.—Yesterday Coleman, the inspector, asked Mr. ltocaaa if the officer of the night, or the officer in attendance at the watch-horse, had any discretionary power vested in him to set at liberty a person given in charge for a trivial matter, not amount ing to an offence exactly, such as being brought off the.street in a state of intoxication? Idr. Roams said, that that was a question he could not answer. The venire was suggested by a woman being entered in the re port who bad been taken off the street drunk, and being without shoes, she could not be brought to the office. Mr. ROGERS re marked, that, at least, whatever name was entered is the report must be brought to the Office, or the Office discharge could not be entered in the report. Mr. Lanni, in an after-part of. the proceedings of the day, in formed Smith, the inspector, who attended in a case, that heiMr. • L.) should cause the officers of flattop-garden to go round with the new policemen at night, when they went on duty, for the pur pose of pointing out such places as required more than ordinary observation ; in particular, he, would recommend to their attention Field-lane and We.t-street, asatreetstha would require their vi. idiom The officers of Hatton-garden should likewise point out certain characters on the streets to the new policemen whew duty it should be to take them . into custody, if found on tie wow a second time, and bring them to Ass office, or otherwise lc drive . them into the City.
