HEALTH WITHOUT PHYSIC. RIPIIIVORAIR Immo, ROYAL RICH/IWO& This is a little production much like a book we lately noticed-- The Simplicity of Health—professing to ad minister cordials for youth, manhood, and old age, (in cluding maxims, moral and facetious,) for the prevention of dis-ase, and the attainment of a long and vigorous fife. The author unfolds the secret of these blessings in a very few words : " to live long people must live well." This is one of the most agreeable specifics that ever was offered to a patient; but let not the " OLD PH vsici x" be misconstrued or misunderstood. Follow, says he, the dictates of reason and nature—that never-erring guide. " Throw physic to the dogs," unless you be actually ill; benefit by the experience of others, and learn to live, and supply nature's wants, without pampering the appetite to the injury of the constitution. "To live long people must live well"—that is, not upon the fat of the land, but rather upon the wholesome products, animal and vegetable, which the land affords, properly prepared and cooked. Temperance, the mother of virtues, and so essential to happiness, among the panacea to which we allude, ought to be cherished—not only for the sake of the good it does the mind—but it 'should equally be practised with care, for the advantages which it procures to the body ; it being that alone which preserves the latter in health, and cures it of the diseases with which its opposite—intemperance —afflicts it. In the author's chapter on different constitutions , wherein he gives us a definition of the four principal temperaments set down by the " father of physic," PPOCRATES,IIIIIIIeIy, " The. Choleric, Melancholic, Phlegmatic, and Sanguine".--We have the , following verdict:— " There can be no such thing invented by man as an universal remedy to prevent or cure all kinds of diseases : because that which would agree with the hot, must disagree with the cold. Besides, all such boasted specifics have been, by experience, found to be ineffectual : and every pretender to them has been con victed either of gross ignorance or dishonesty." This book is written in a light pleasing style, abound ing in anecdote, and diversified with amusing and useful quotations from a variety of writers on physics, health, • 'and longevity. We could be tempted to make several extracts ; but for this day, we must confine ourselves to the following Chapter on early rising, and the beauties of the morning, as conducive to health and pleasure : Rise, light thy candle, see thy task begun, • Ere redd'aing streaks proclaim the distant sun. He who does not experience the bracing air, or inhale the balmy breath of the morning, but half enjoys his existence. " Early rising," says a writer distinguished for his erudition, " has been the constant object of my attention : and it is, indeed, a powerful pre. servative from vice, a spur to industry and order, and constitutes the most valuable recommendation that literature can boast. 1 wish my advice and imperfect experience of its benefits, could persuade every youth to engrave it in impressions not to be effaced on the tablet of his heart, and exemplify it in his daily practice !" Dr. Doddridge, author of many excelleit writings, in which his pious, benevolent, and indefatigable zeal to make mankind wise, good, and happy, is conspicuously manifested, ascribes their pro duction principally, if not entirely, to the habit of rising early. The late Jolts Wellesley, so well known from his unprecedented labours in travelling, writing, and preaching, rose constantly at four o'clock in the morning. In a word, there is scarcely a person emi nent for learning or piety. either in ancient or modern times, of whom it is not recorded that he was an early riser. Persons not accustomed to accuracy and minuteness of calcu lation, will learn_, with surpriie, the vast space of time gained by moderation in ship, or. In other woids, how considerably early rising will extend life in a given number of years. The advantages of this habit must, indeed, be very numerous ; since divine and . human wisdom, the scriptures, and the classics, are found to concur in frequent recommendation of it. Not to advert to solitary pas sages to this effect in other books of holy writ, several of Solomon's proverbs, while inveighing against sloth, or extolling diligence, make the time spent in the repose of sleep, the principal evidence of the former vice, or test of the latter excellence. Our own poets have also been glowing and energetic on this • must interesting topic. See particularly Milton, in his Paradise LOU. The following exquisite lines are from the author of the Seaslons:-- Falsely luxurious, will not man awake, And springing from the bed of sloth, enjoy The cool, the fragrant, and the silent hour, To meditation due and sacred song? For is there ought in sleep can charm the wise ? To lie in dead oblivion; losing half The fleeting moments of too short a life ; Total extinction of th' enlighten'd soul ! Or else to feverigh vans y alive ; Wilder'd, and tossing through &tempted dreams? Who would in such a gloomy state remain Logger than nature craves, when every muse, And every blooming pleasure wait without, To bless the wildly devious morning walk? The following monitory. lines " On the !Ark's Sweet Matin Song," may not, perhaps, be useless to our readers, as reminding them of their Matra, and pointing out to them the blessings of health and peace, through the medium of piety and a proper ado ration of the Draturr. - - - - Those little songsters mounted high, Harmonious carol to the sky : To Heaven their tuneful offering pay, And seem to hail the newborn day ! Sweet bird ! instructed by thy lays, Can man forget his blouses praise ? Reviving from the shades of night, Can he behold the alf-quick'ning light, Can be enclose his sluggish eyes, Nor send one rapture to the skies? Milton, in bis Allegro, most excluisitely expresses himself on these circtimstances ,• and Bishop Newton observes, that the beautiful scene which Milton exhibits of rural cheerfuluess, at the same time gives us a fine picture of the regularity of his life, and the inno cency of his own mind : thus he describes himself as in a situ ation— To hear the lark begin his flight, And y singing, startle the dun night, • From his watch-taw'r in the skies, 'Till the dappled dawn doth rise. . - - The morning. in fine, independent of its salutiferous exhalations, displays to the world a new and magnificent and most inviting cre atlun: The shades of night had concealed the view and enjoy ment of earth and skies. But now the light returns, and we be • hold all nature renewed in youth and beauty. We are reminded of Milton's fine description of the creation, when Gon first com manded the earth to put forth the verdant grass. He 'cte bad said, when the bare earth , till then Disc sn,d'hare, unsightly, unadorn'd; Brous t north her tender gnu, whose verdure clad Then uniiinal face with pleasant green • Then herbs of eves y leaf, that sudden teamed, Opening their various colours, and made gay Her bosom smelling high woods the hills were crown'd, , and each fountain side, rivers : that earth now seat where gods might dwell, and love to haunt . the morning landscape la Indeed ex- Aature rejoices Ina delightful renovation feathered tribes salute the bright source of owes.

The members of the Shrewsbury Hunt, under the Presidency of Henry Lyster, Esq. of Rowton, have been spending the week in the vicinity of that town. On Friday last, the hounds threw off at Woodcote ; the fox was soon lost, and the hounds were at fault. After much loss of time and noise, an elderly Gentleman, a pe destrian, discovered, with his spectacles, the fox in a tree! He was routed thence, and almost instantly earthed himself. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 23. JUDOMWIT,•—IN U ASHTIRLD CURIUM The LORD CUANCW.LOS gave judgment in this case. It was petition presented by the Perpetual Curate of the pirish of Great Ashfield, Norfolk, under the following circumstances :—Some cen turies since a Gentleman, of the name of Nicholas Phineage, gave by will a landed estate, of the value of .€3OO, and-certain personal property, and other funded property , to be l a id ontirttrO purchase of other lands for the maintenance of a Minister ""td• preach the Word of Go." every Sunday morning, and for each service the Minister was to receive the aunt of eight shillings, which was to be paid out of the funds above-mentioned. The election of the Lecturer was vested in the bands of the Trustees for the time being. As the perpetual curacy was last a scanty benefice, it had been the almost invariable practice of giving the lectureship to the incum bent of the living. In 181.7, however, the Rev. Mr. Norgate was, by a vast majority of the Trustees, elected Lecturer, and he conti nued to perform the duties of that situation till 1823; when, being a Fellow of one of the Colleges at Oxford, he resigned, and re moved to that University. Upon his resignation. his brother, Mr. •James Norgate, was chosen by the Trustees as his successor. Dr. Norgate remained at Oxford till 1827, when, having married, he removed again to Ashfield, when his brother gave up the lecture ship, to which be was, by the almost unanimous vote of the Trus tees, re-elected. Shortly after this, the Rev. Mr. Stegall, the Per petual Curate, refused to allow the Doctor the use of ids p ul p it, and presented ' this petition, in which it was prayed that the Court would declare that the lectureship ought always to go with the curacy, or that the Curate was entitled to some pecuniary compensa tion for the use of his pulpit. It was further alleged, that the election of Dr. Notgate was void, in consequence of an irregularity in the appointment of the trustees; and it was suggested that an indi vidual of the name of Cracknell, who was represented as being in a very inferior situation in life, had exerted a very improper interest in the nomination of the trustees. The Court was decidedly of opinion that upon some of these points the petitioner had succeeded in making a case. This matter had been before the out as long back as the reign of James the First ; and in the twenty-hrst year of that King, a decree was made, which clearly vested the election of the lecturer in the trustees ; and were the Court now to declare that the Curate ought, as a matter of right, to be selected by the trustees, it would be in direct variance with b ot h the letter and spirit of , that decree. It would, indeed, be giving the appointment to the patron of the livin of Ashfield. Again, as it regarded the alleged irregularity in th e nomination of the trustees, the Court was clearly of opinion that the charge fell to the ground. The indi viduals who now filled that office were respectable Gentlemen, and they had exercised their rights in a way that it would be impossible for tb Court to complain of. Dr. Norgate was a divine of ex emplary learning and piety, of high standing in the University to which he belonged ; and certainly securing the services of such a man for the benefit of the parishioners of Ashfield, was a great boon. Upon the only remaining point, the refusal of Mr. Stegall to allow the use of the pulpit to the lecturer, the Court could make no order. It was not for him (the Lord Chancellor) to dictate to that gentleman, but be much hoped that he would well consider the subject. As, therefore, the petition was in every part of it alto gether ungrounded, it must be dismissed. and those individuals who have plunged the parishioners in this litigation and unplea sant proceedings, must pay the costs. Petition dismissed with costs. VICE-CHAPECIAL INJNCELLOR'UNCTION. S COURT, Nov. 23. S LORD DI TAILIT, IT MS MIT /AMID, v. DRUM Mr. Tammy' moved for a special injunction, to restrain the defendant from selling or removing certain crops, and , other produce off a farm, held by the defendant under his Lordship, in Cheshire. The tenant of the farm took it from year' to year. It appeared that the defendant had advertised in the Cheshire Paper the sale of the property now sought to be restrained. By a clause in the lease, the farm was not to be left in an anima band-like manner. The COURT granted the injunction. His Homo& took causes to-day, but nothing of further im- thschArged. PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 25. Before Sir JOHN NICHOL. IN TIM GOODS OF TIIOM6S HUBBARD, ZIG. portance occurred. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, N0v.43. . THE KING V SABAH ALIO?. The defendant appeared in custody of the keeper of Stafford gaol, having been brought up by writ of Habeas to be discharged. Mr. WILLIAMS stated that she had been committed by the Staf ford Magistrates for a malicious trespass on the premises of a Mr. Thomas Roby. The warrant of commitment he held to be de fective, and the Court being of opinion that the objection was well-founded, the defendant was discharged. unman v. VASSICK. This action was brought in the Common Pleas by Mr. Kembie against Mr. Farren, the comedian, for breach of agreement. The Jury gave a verdict for £750. The proceedings having been removed by writ of Error and Certiorari into this Court, Mr. CAM this day applied to the Judges to allow the Mas ter to say whether any, and if any; what sum ought to be p r at! into Court, in order that bail might be d is p ensed with. Learned Counsel observed that the rule he required would place the plaintiff in a more advantageous situation. The Court granted a rule to show cause. THE NIKO V. WILLIAM AIIOKSIVII LOBECKIII. The ATTORNIV-GISKRAL prayed the judgment of the Court on the defendant, who had pleaded guilty to an information filed by his Majesty's Solicitor-General, charging him with having entered into an agreement with a person named Lutteral, to receive a sum of £3OO for a recommendation to an appointment to an office under Government. It appeared by the affidavits put in on the part of the prosecu tion, that the defendant, in December, 1827, entered into a nego tiation with the father of Hungerfoni Lutteral for procuring for his son an appointment in the chief office of the Coast Guard Ser vice; that he afterwards corresponded with the son on the subject, and the latter, in January 1828, remitted him from Bristol £3OO, the amount of the sum which the defendant stated was required as the price for toe appointment. Mr. Lutteral. jun. was appointed to the situation, but dismissed shortly afterwards en account of his being above age. The affidavit of the defendant stated, that he had paid £3OO to a person with whom he had carried on the negotiation on the part of Mr. Lutteral, and that be was not aware at the time that he was committing an offence. He had a wife and eight chidren depend ing on him for support. The Arroastiv.Gensawa addressed the Court on the part of the prosecution in aggravation of punishment. Mr. D. POLLOCK appeared for the defendant. Mr. Justice BATLIT-111r. Attorney-General, the defendant is very poor, with a wife and eight children ; and there has been a good deal of indiscretion elsewhere. The Arroasev.thensaat.—Does your Lordship think this an offence that ought to be passed over lightly ? r. Justice Bar LIT—No ; but one is always sorry that personal inquiries are not made in these eases by the persons who have the means of ACCwit. Mr. D. Pommes said that the defendant would use his utmost exertions to bring the great offender to punishmnit. The Airroarai-Gtsmaat etiggested that the case 'Mold stand over, in order that further inquiries might be made. This was acceded to, and the defendant was remanded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. I COIRT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 23. --..........-- JARVIS 11. BALMS ARO MIME. • Mr. Sergeant WILD, move to make absolute a rule for &wham• ing the defendant Salmon out of custody, on entering a common, appearance for himself, on the ground of the violation of good faith ( in his caption. Mr. Sergeant Seams showed saute against the rtde. Front the defendant's affidavit it appeared that he was an attorney in Dublin, and that he had been made a bankrupt .there, and had gm a Pro- tection from the Irish Commissioners till the Ist of December- In the Interim (on the 14th of August) a meeting of his Entlbh dims took place in London, at which it was resolved that the de - fendant should be invited to come t o London, to inform his Cre ditors of the state of his affairs, and that be should be protected from arrest while here. Upon this the defendant came to Louden , and called upon theplaintifs attorney. The attorney subsequ eml Y sent for him, to confer with him in th e evenin g . The defendant accordingly came to his office on the 30th of October, and was ar rested as he came out of It, by some officers who were in welds' at the door. The Learned Sergeant submitted that there were no grounds for the application, and read the affidavits for the plaintiff and of Major Wm. Pitcher, collector to Messrs. Stultz and Co. also teflon, who stated that a subsequent meeting of creditors was held September the 9th, at which the former resolutions were rescinded, and that the defendant told Messrs. Steitz' collector in Dublin, that be was aware of the change in the resolution of the creditors • therefore the defendant was entitled t o no more protection th an any other debtor, and the Court would not inquire by what means a " shy cock," as it was called, was lured into the hands of his captors. The Comte decided that the rule must be made absolute, as it appeared that protection had been promised and an invitation had been sent to the defendant in Ireland to come here, and there was no proof that any formal renunciation of the resolution had been communicated to the defendant. surnwilen v. TAYLOR. Mr. Sergeant WILDR spewed cause against a rule obtained in this case, calling upon the plaintiff to pay the defendant's costs in an alleged malicious arrest. It appeared from the affidavits, that In the year 1825 the plaintiff contracted with the defendant to build a large pin manufactory in the London Road; this building was completed in 1827, when the plaintiff claimed a balance due to him of £327. The plaintiff, acting under the advice of some emi nent Surveyors refused to pay the sum, alleging that part of the work was overc harged, but made a tender in gold of two hundred and fifty pounds, which the plaintiff would not accept, and in a day or two afterwards be was arrested at the suit of dr. Sherwood for £327. This action war defended, and on its being called on for trial at toe last Surrey Assizes, at the suggestion of the Judge, it was referred to an arbitrator, who bad made an award, by which he found that £250 was all the plaintiff was entitled to. The learned Counsel contended that the rule must be discharged ; it was a common case of a disputed account, and when opposite surveyors gave an opinion as in this case, they never agreed to what was a fair charge. There was not the least pretence for alleging that the plaintiff was actuated by malice. Mr. Serjeant Joe', was heard at considerable length is support of the rule. The plaintiff had been tendered the full amount awarded him by the arbitrator, before the defendant ergs arrested or the writ issued. It was therefore only common justice that Mr. Taylor should have his costs. The Comer were of opinion that as there was no proof of the arrest being malicious, the rule could not be supported.—Rule This was an application for letters of general administation to the unadministered effects of Thomas Hubbard, Esq. deceased. Thu Court was prayed to grant them to next of kin, Sir Lumley Skef fington, Bart. Dr. LUSUINGTON, en behalf of Sir Lumley, stated that letters of limited administration, granted to Mr. White and revoked by the Court of Delegates, had been brought into Court, and he ap prehended there would be no obstacle to his party to enter on ad ministration. Dc. Pnitussoss said there was a question to come before the whole Commission, previous to such administration being granted. The Jo nes said the Court of Delegates having fully revoked the limited adm.nistration granted to Mr. White, the case now stands precisely in the situation as if no administtation had been entered into. The Court was of opinion there would be no violation of the inhibition Issued in this suit. and know of no question that could arise to take it from the adjudication of this Court; therefore, I see no difficulty in granting letters of general admini stration, and therefore decree them to Sir Lumley Skeffington. BOARD OF EXCISE, Nov. 21. WRING MILK. Mr. John Leonard, who keeps the Tap attached to a Tavern, in Barron-street. Protonville, was charged with mixing salt, sugar, and treacle for the purpose of adulterating beer. Mr. Brearley, the landlord of the tavern, to which the other defendant's tap was attached, was charged with a similar offence. Thomas Bennett. a Surveyor of Excise, said, that on the 25th of April last he went into Mr. Breariey's beer cellar, and found Mr. Leonard at work, with his coat off and his shirt sleeves turned up ; several tubs of water were standing near the beer casks, and the bungs of some of the beer casks were out; it appeared as if some thing had been put in them • on the ground be found a pail co • vered over , which containe d a mixture of sugar, salt, and treacle; Mr. Leonard, on being asked what be was doing, said he was going to refine a butt of porter, for which he found that prepara tion answer better than white sand, which he had formerly used : there was no communication between Mr. Bromley's house and Mr. Leonard's. Another officer confirmed this statement : Mr. Prior, of the firm •of Meux and Co. said that Mr. Brearley was a customer of the house, •but they knew nothing of Mr. Len , nard. He tasted the sample of two butt,, which the officers brought to him, and which had apparently received the mixture, and had no hesitation in 'saying that the beer, in that state was never sent from their brewery ; there was swtetness and 'loess in the stuff seised by the officers, which would not add to the strength of the liquor, but it might add an apparent strength, and would undoubtedly conceal any addition of water that might be put to the beer. Mr. Lennard had been in business only six months. and did not know he was doing wrong when be followed she advice that was given him, that it would improve the Savour of the beer. Mr. Brearley said be did not compound the preparation, and knew nothing about it. The Coraussionsa said, that the system adopted by the defend ants was most scandalous. It was a great injustice not only to the public, but to the brewers, to whom the fault of bad beer is often attributed. The defendants were then fined £lOO each, and the Commis sioners refused to mitigate it a single farthing. MANSION HOUSE. Mr. Bowler, Secretary to the Mines Royal Copper Company, Upper Thames-street, appeared at the Justice-room, to prefer a charge against two men named Boyles and Baker, under the follow! log circumstances : Mr. Bowler stated that Baker, who is a porter, called at the company's office on Friday with a written order for some coppee. , professing to come from Mr. Butler of Wigmore-street, a easterner of the company. The order was for leen. 661ba. goz. It oc curred to him that the writing was not that of Mr. Butler, and be was soon confirmed in the opinion by that gentleman himself, who happened to call. The prisoner was absent at this time, but he returned in a quarter of an hour for the copper, which was given to him at the direction of the witness, who took care that be should be followed, in order, if possible, to trace it to its source. John Mitchel, warehouseman to the company, deposed that he, accompanied by two officers, followed Baker from the ctimpany's premises. Baker went along without stopping anywhere until he reached Fleet-market; there he stopped, upon being met by Bayles, the other prisoner, to whom be delivered the bill of par cels. The two prisoners then went on conversing together as far as Shoe-lane, when Bayles ran away, leaving Baker with the load of copper still in his possession ; neither witness nor the officers bad spoken to the prisoners at the time; they continued to follow Baker, who went as far as Seven Dials, where ha was apprehended in a public-house by an officer. Betterton, the officer, confirmed this account, and added, that the prisoner Baker mentioned that Bayles had seat him-,for the copper. Bayles had been taken in Shoe-lane, unknown to Baker. Mr. Butler deposed that the order was not in his hand-writing, nor written by his direction. Bayles had been in his service about three years ago, but had since, to his• knowledge, been guilty of .many offences, and had been once convicted at the Old Bailey. Baker declared that be had been employed by Bayles, who told him his name was Butler, and that be was theion . the gentle man who bad been ink examined. This Baylesbe declared dame to his lodging and hired him to do the job ; that wail ell he knew of the matter. The prisoners were both remanded. GUILDHALL. Wm Davis, a miserable-looking creature. 'wit brought before Mr. Alderman Vasaistes, charged with sneaking into a cheese monger's shop, kept by a Mr. Bedell, la King-knee, Cloth-fair, between tea. and,eleven o'clock on .Sundey fotenoont and dolling L about 10Ibs of ' baton. The prisoner observing no person hi the shop, walked in, molly unbuttoned his coat, and wal gong away with the ham, when be was.pgraued by a young man,and secured. What stern? (said the ALDZILMAII to the Officer, who seemed somewhat into:hated). Officer.--I am a constable of the Liberty of St. Bartholomew, out of the City of London. ALDZILDIANI know it is not in the City : you Bartholomew men are very tenacious of your ptivileges. Officer—My dear sir, Mr. Alderman, I have something to state. The prosecutor don't wish to prosecute. Alderman : Attend to me. Wbat do you know respecting this charge? Officer, (boisterously) : nothing at all : (a laugh.) Alderman : At what hour were you sent for? Officer , I cannot tell exactly lam sure it was before twelve, by my business. ArJerman : Wbat business? Officer : I am a baker. Alderman : You received charge of this man for stealing the bacon ? Officer : Yes, sir. Alderman : What have you drank this morning? Officer : No thing but what is useful ; and it has nothing to do with the case. Alderman : Answer the question, and remember you are on your oath. What have you drank this morning? Officer : Nothing more than I do every day. Alderman—Well, give me the particulars. Officer—Why, I drink a glass of gin the first thing in the morning, and at 11 o'clock in the day a pint of beer, and that will do nobody any harm : (a roar of loughter.) Alderman—You are fined Ss. for being drunk, and let the case stand over till to-morrow, when I hope you will come sober. The constable seemed astonished at this decision, but quietly submitted to it. Joitit Morris, a stout middle-aged man, was committed for ob taining fibs. of tea under false pretences, from Messrs. Simpson and Co. tea-dealers, in New Bridge-street, on the 16th inst. and two pair of silk stockings from Messrs. Bailey, Milner, and Co. linen-drapers, St. Paul's Church-yard. In the first cue be had sent in a stranger, whom he accosted In Bridge-street, with a forged order, purporting to be from one a Lord Carrington's ser vant's; in the second, he used the signature " G. Bainbridge," whom he represented to be the daughter of the banker. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday a young VMS about 20 years of age, named Joseph Fischer, was brought up by one of the new police, charged with attempting to pus a gilt sixpence for a half sovereign. The prisoner, in his defence, said that be had received the six pence from his master, who told him to endeavour to get rid of it, and promised him ss. if he should succeed in doing so. As the person whom the prisoner attempted to defraud did not appear against him, he was dismissed with a reprimand. The Magistrates made some strong animadversions upon the conduct of Mr. Wood, the lad's master. Information was received yesterday morning of an extensive and daring robbery-cm the premises of Mr. Looms, St. John-street road, Dearly opposite the Angel Ina. Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Looms were gone to church, and during their absence the thieves, who must be old experienced hands, gained admission into the house. They took away property to a very considerable amount, consisting of sixteen pounds in sovereigns and silver, a silver watch, silver table and tea spoons, &c. The man who sweeps the crossing of the road saw two well dressed fellows come out of the house about twelve o'clock, having a green bag with them, and as they came out, previous to shutting the door, they turned their heads, and said. " Good morning, Sir !" as though they were speaking to Mr. Looms. Whilst they were on the premises they completely ransacked every part of them, and took away nothing but the most portable and valuable articles.
