SONG. (TO TIE TONE 0/ " IRIN 00 MUM" Oh! mourn for the days of confusion and sorrow, Of kingdoms o'ertbrown, and of greatness4mar t sy'd t Uncertain the Fortune that hangs on the morrow, And Europe divided, debsed, and dlunay'd. , In vain the great names that through aghs descended, Ranks, titles, and thrones, in one chaos are blended, • And the Corsican smiles on the fall o 7 the World ! Ohl England, my Country, sole Country remaining, Art thou too his triumphs at last to &dam ? Art thnn o like the rest, to be draged uncomplaining, Ar the wheels of his chariot, all bleeding and torn ? 'I Lou !Arad of islands, thou land of sweet beauty, I Is/11 I.arkl where brave NaLsors bade all do their duty, Art thou tuu to fall with the fall of the world ? Thou Land where the crest of the fifth Miter brighten'd, Whose heroes have perish'd for Freedom and Law— Where Ein A has triumpb'd, and CPATHAYI has lighten*J, And MAitiaoßovoa . blaz'd in the track of Nassau!— But why should I mention the deeds of old story? You, Britons, are still, like the Britons before you! Vittoria renews your bright vision of glory, - And your country shall stand, 'mid the fail of the world! IHE.47WES. Lye=At.—The new Musical Afterpiece of Sharp and Flat, was again performediast night. The second act has been completely altered. The foolish pro phecies are now omitted. Captain Belford does not make his appearance as the German Astrologer. Mr. Solomon Sharpwit is no longer obtruded on the au dience, in petticoats—and some of the most objec tionable passages in the dialoue are expunged.— Thus curtailed, and undoubted ly amended (for what ever merit the piece originally possessed remains, while that which gave offence is entirely removed), the entertainment went off extremely well.—With the music we are exceedingly pleased. It is, in ge neral, light, tasteful, and elegant. Tile PANTHEON.—This truly elegant Theatre was again splendidly attended last night; the performances were excellent, and went off with the highest eclat. Most of the fashionables in town graced the boxes. SURREY THEATRIL—The performances of this respectable place of amusement still continue to at tract crowds of admirers—indeed, the surprising sa gacity of the faithful Dog Gelert, in the Welch Melo- Drame, added to other interesting and humourous en tertainments, render the performances of this Theatre highly worthy of the distinguished patronage it re ceives. Sir Wltf. BETCNY is confined, in crnsequence of • having ruptured the tendon AAA: of one of his legs ; nnd a very extraorslinary coincidence is, that Colonel HAMILTON, who had called on Sir WILLIAM to in quire after his health, experienced a similar accident on his return home, having ruptured the same tendon in merely stepping across a gutter from the street to the pavement. • Sunday se'nnight Inverness was"visitesi by a thun der storm, accompanied by a torrent of rain ; the lightning entered a house in Kirkhill, and scorched a girl dreadfully ; the shock deprived her of the use of every faculty for some time, but she is now in a fair way of recovery. It is probable the lightning entered by the chimney, which is crowned with an iron grat ing ; it escaped by the door, acid carried tfe lintel to the distance of several yards from the house. Same day the neighbourhood of Berwick was vi sited with rather a tremendous thunder storm, accom panied with a heavy rain. On the same day, some sheep were killed by the lightning at Kimmerston. A dreadful thunder storm was. experienced in the parish of Bielby, near Pocklington, Yorkshire, on Monday 14st. As Mr. Harrison, a farmer of Bielby, and two men, with his maid -servant, were making hay in a field, a severe flash of lightning, accompanied with a most awful clap of thunder, terrified them so much as to cause them to run for shelter. The poor young woman was struck dead on the spot; the mas ter knocked down, but not much injured ; and one of the other men is dangerously ill, and not likely to recover. The man unhurt is brother to Sarah Tel- lers, who was killed : she was struck on the shoulder, her hair was singed on her head, and her handkerchief rent from her SLoulder s. The electric fluid passed down her left arm, and entered her side. The Coro. ner's Inquest was held on Tuesday. She appeared to be smiling, and ye: y little changed in the counte nance.—Same day another young woman was killed by the lightning, while in the act of forking hay on a hayrick in that neighbourhood. Saturday night, at eleven o'clock, two of the de serters confined in the Prevost prison, in Chester, ef fected their escape ; and, but for the intervention of a woman who was waiting to see her son, the whole of the remainder (17) would in a few minutes have fellowed. They perforated through the wall of the evil where they were confined, which was full two feet thick, and when they came to the outer window, wrested three of the iron bars from the stone work,' and worked an opening through another wall MO feet thick ; they then let themselves down by torn blankets and some ropes. The woman hearing a noise, alarmed the centinel, who procured a light, and prevented the escape of the remainder. The two v.'ho got out have not since been heard off. On the 19th of July, the wife of a private in the , Cambridgeshire militi t, living at Haverhill, went to' work into the fields, leaving a little girl, about St years old, and a boy, about six, to take care of her. Ihe boy, allured by his play, neglected his little c h arge , a Id, when the mother came home in the evening, the child was no where to be found. To attain the de • s .ed object wells were emptied, ponds dragged, and corn-fields explored, but all to no purpose. On Thurs day morning, about 6 o'clock, as a young miner was mowing on a common, about a quarter of a mile from the town, he heard in faint accents an infantine voice, as if calling for help ; after a short search, he found the lost child sitting on a small hillock, on a balk be tween two pieces of wheat. By medical assistance the child is doing well. rriday a boy in Glasgow fell into a vat of warm soap-lees, by which he was so much scalded that he died on Saturday morning. What renders this cir cumstance more afflicting to his parents is, that they had another son drowned in the Clyde about eight weeks since. I • POLIdt. HATTON GARDEN. Mrs. Ames, with whom the widow of the murdered Clifford recently lodged, was yesterday in this Office, but on a business unconnected with that affair..-- S'ome questions were,'however, asked her, relative to her lodger. She said, the lodgings were taken for Mts. Clifford, by some Ladies, on the day Mrs.'C. was sent to the Moose Of Correction. Two Gentle men had called, and each left a 'pound note for her use. The children were provided with shoes, stock , ings, and several other necessaries. There are two men and Mrs. Clifford's sister almost constantly there, One of them is Healy, the young man who first re cognised the body of the deceased, and who was a few days in confinement, on suspicion of being con cerned, but who was afterwards liberated. The other young man's name is William Slattery, already men tioned, who lodged with Mrs. Clifford. Mrs. Clifford's box, &c. have been searched, and nothing has appeared to criminate her. Mr. TURTON, the Magistrate, contradicted the as sertion in the papers, that he had ordered the confes sion of Leary to be read to Mrs. Clifford. The worthy Magistrate says, his only motive for sending the widow to a place of security, was his fear that as the confession was made piblic (contrary to his %it ish, and even without his knowledge) she might be alarmed, and be advised to abscond. A hackney coachman, summoned a Mr. Collison, from Homerton, for his fare, which he stated to be '2ss. He charged by time, and not distance. He stated, that he was called to go to Vauxhall on the second I great night after the Grand Fete. He was hired just a quarter past seven o'clock in the evening ; he carried five, being one above the complement, and set them down at Vauxhall ; he was ordered to wait at the water gate, until they came to him ;—he told them his number, and they entered the Gardens ; he drova as near the gate as he possibly could, and waited until about ten minutes to six in the mining. Mr. Collison's defence was, that he and his company came out of the Gardens about half past twelve ; they forgot the number, but called for " the coach from Homerton, number forgot." He employed two persons to seek it, and after waiting half an hour in vain, he was obliged to go'without it. The coach man was ordered his tare, and 4s. costs. Ann Williams and Sarah William:, mother and daughter, were apprehended at a house in Little Queen-street, Soho, charged by a poor looking wo man, of the name of Wood, with taking of insurance in what is termed the Lillie Go. She stated that, by allurement, she had followed up the game to that extent, as to be the utter ruin of herself and family ; and farther stated, the terms were paying fourpence, if first drawn number the defendants returned ss. 3d. and if the last drawn ',amber Is. 9d. but she had sel dom any thing. The officers stated finding in a closet in the room where they apprehended the prisoners, a quantity of pieces of paper, with numbers marked thereon. They were fully committed for trial at the Sessions. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday Ann Rolinton, a servant in the employ of Mr. Swanneck, of Russel-street, Co vent Garden, was brought to this Office, charged with having stolen a paper of halfpence, of the value of ss. and two pieces of soap. Mr. Swanneck deposed, that about 12 o'clock yesterday morning he counted ten ss. papers of halfpence, and placed them behind the counter. He was taken with an indisposition, and went to bed. About four o'clock he arose, and missed the halfpence in question. Suspicion fell on the pri soner, and on her being charged with the theft she denied it. A drawer, however, was searched which was set apart for the use of the servant, in which the halfpence were found secreted in a basket. An officer was sent for, who searched her box, in which he found the two pieces of soap. On being asked for her defence, she said—" she did it to relieve her mother, who had been some time ill." The Sitting Magis trate committed her for trial, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. Yesterday, a young man who held a respectable situation in the Tax Office, was charged with feloni ously stealing a quantity of papers, consisting prin cipally of the papers that are left at houses for re turns of the Property and Assessed Taxes. It was satisfactorily proved that the prisoner had taken the paper, and that he had carried it away in a blue bag. Mr. BOOTH, the Solicitor to the Office, very humanely admitted of a defence of insanity being gone into, which was proved by his afflicted wife, who stated a variety of extravagant acts which he had lately com mitted, among which was his sitting at a window with his legs out, which she providentially observed, or hi said he should have jumped out of the window. She seized him by the coat and held him till by her screams assistance came to her and he was got in.— Her statements were corroborated by their landlord, who also proved the prisoner's ordering alterations and improvements to be done to his apartments, and which did not require to be done. He frequently or dered goods in, and when they were brought denied ordering them. The landlord had no doubt of his being insane. A variety of other acts of a similar nature were proved, and the prisoner was discharged. MARLISOROUGII-STREET.--4300 FINDING, dial DOG STEALING.—Hughey, a dealer in dogs, was yesterday charged with concealing a spaniel bitch, the property of Mr. Stevens, a merchant, knowing such to have been stolen. The bitch was stolen from Camberwell on Wednesday se'nnight, with a collar round the neck, on which was engraved the owner's name, and on Monday last the defendant had her, strung with an other dog, at Tattersall's for sale. A friend of the prosecutor owned the bitch, and the defendant said, she had been left at his house by a young man on Sunday, for him to purchase, and the person was to look in again in the evening, but he neglected to do so.—The Magistrates were of opinion the defendant knew the bitch was not honestly come by, and he was fined in the mitigated penalty of £2O, in default of payment of which sum he was ordered to be impri soned six months, agreeably to Act of Parliament. UNION HALL.—Yesterday Mary Layton, a young woman, was charged by Mrs. Banister, of Kendal place, Stangate, with stealing a pair of child's boots and a pair of gold ear-rings, on the 27th of July last. It appeared that a child of Mrs. Banister's, about five years old, had gone down to the water-side to see the city barges pass : she did not return for near four ' hours, and, although her mother searched the neigh bourhood round, sige was no where to be found; at TO THOMAS /TAYLOR, ESQ. BE leave to inform you, that ever since the year A. 1790,1 had been afflicted with the I.ues Venerea ; which from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and undergoing several severe courses of salivation and twice discharged f rom the Hospital, with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the spsing of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence. In this state, I was re commended by Nit. I.

WHEN Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the mast safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing Diseases, the seem,. htl result of their experience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, have been Induced to make the cure of the following the object of their particular study, vis e a certain Disorder, frequency contracted In a moment of tettoxis cation, and its concomitants, Strictures asd Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also de bility, whether arising from Bacchaualian indulgences, long red dente it .esem climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often en. happily pursued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing sterility or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train et net... vous diseases, which, If not timely remedied, terminate in impos tegce and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or dalciency, whether the consequence of such, baneful habits, or arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the coned. tution become enfeebled, as regularly edocated Surgeons of Lon don, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co. exclusively professing theocure of these particular complaint• in order that they may not be, by a mistaken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to stare that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certificates of which, front difierent Hospitals, and testimonials from the most eminent Physicians, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice the genera! Practitioner, and they presume that their pretensions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedenteii etmatlence with which they have, by the Public, been so liberally honoured. The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them*, by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, however inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to the least restraint b. diet or exercise; and in recent Caset where an early application Is made on discovery of the infection, they tree. quently perform a cure in the short space of two days. The arts precedented success of their mode of treatment (which has weer. been known to fail in on: single instance in &practice of IS year% during which period many thousand persons of both saxes have been cured, even after severe and injurious methods bad beep pursued by other Prac, itioners without effect), induces them to thus publicly offer their ad :e.

Surgeons. late .a his Majesty's Service, challenge die wools world to prove a single instance where their Medicine and method of tore ever failed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in the particulat branch of their professl3n has not given rise to one 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 wastaul effects ota habit lung aril nt sst unhappily pur.ued by the youthsof both wigs, in the one it will he found to be the unfailing source of banes. nen; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dig tressing state of deh:lity, w Inch, If not timely remedied, terminates In hopmence. These are its remote and ultintate effects, while coo - sumptions, loss of muscular power,aud various nervous complaints usually ckaracterie the earlier rages of this solitary vice. Of per. sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful. in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spongy excrescences. hard tu -.tors, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, glens, as also STSUCTUILES, Whether recent nr of long duration, and which have baffled tt at skill ofother 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 SO years exten sive practice in this metropolis, numerous cases of Strictures have been and are daily under their care, the total eradieation of which are effected by a safe, certain .and expedi• nous mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted: he weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this cons- plaint, is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound and vigorous health. But where the debility has fpr years exis ted, a proper perseverance in their restorative reinedie.,uftrr the Stricture has been destroyed, Is indispensably requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the constitutior..

In the course of the evening Mrs. Banister took the child out with her, and as they were passing along West minster-bridge they 'net the prisoner, and the child pointed her ont immediately as the person who bad robbed her. The shopman of Mr. Rose, the pawnbroker, also stated, that the prisoner pled the boots and ear rings at his master's shop cos 27th of July last.— She was committed. Queen-SQVARE.—Yesterday Elizabeth Bah and the woman in whose house she wat found, were brought up for re•examination, charged with having robbed Charles Myers, a seaman, of his watch and £BO in money, which he had received the preceding day at Somerset House. The circumstances attend - - inng this robbery were before our Readers in yester day's STAR. The evidence being recapitulated, the sitting Magistrate (T. B. PLAISTOW, Esq.) fully com mitted them for trial, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. PlLLORT.—Yesterday a wretch of the name of William Bedkr, whose offence is detestable, stood in the pillory at the Old Bailey, pursuant to his sentence at the last Sessions. A•grcat crowd of unfortuna* women met for the avowed purpose of giving him what is called a complete whitewash, which they effected to a degree unprecedented.—During the hour the punishment was inflicting, he was assailed by the hands of every female who could collect sufficient dirt, rotten eggs, &c. to render their mode of battery complete.—When he was taken out he was unable to stand, and presented the figure of one complete mass of dirt. A man, appearing as an Auctioneer's Porter, ap plied on Monday last at a house in Lambeth, where sale of furniture was to take place on the Wednes day following, stating himself to have been sent for the two parlour carpets to be beat. • The owners, on his observing that the other porters were coming in an hour, to lot and prepare the goods for public ♦iew the following day, which was the case, incautiously gave him two carpets and a hearth rug, with which he got clear off, and neither have since been heard of. BRIXIIAM, AUG. 3. Yesterday a decently dressed woman, apparently about 30 years old was found mur dered in a field at Churston Fevers ; a farmer in a field just by at work observed a disagreeable smell, and ) on searching, discovered the body lying on her back, covered with ferns, end a large stone of .501 h. weight on her breast; the body must have lain there several days, as it was in a state of putridity. The murderer is unknown.—Last night a skirmish hap pened between some soldiers and two sailors: the soldiers being intoxicated drew their bayonets, and the sailors being unarmed fled to their boat, whither the soldiers pursued them. One of the sailors seeing his danger leapt overboard and swam away, the other was overtaken by the soldiers, who mangled and stabbed him in several places, and then made their escape, it being very dark. The sailor is since dead of his wounds. A few nights since, two gentlemen, of Manchester, were stopped by three footpath, on the Stockport road, near the Shakespeare, who demanded their mo ney. One of the gentlemen, who was armed with pistols, called on his friend to resist ; the villains, who had also fire-arms, then fired, which was return ed, but, it is believed, without wounding either of them. The robbers then made off, without effecting their purpose ; one of them dropped a loaded pistol, which, it is hoped, may lead to a discovery.
