I POLICE. • An error occurred in a recent report from Marl horongli-street. Police-office, wherein it was stated, that the Tax-gatherer belonging to St. George's pa rish had been brought up for re-examination ; when, ia fact, it was a Taz.gatherer of Paddington Bow-smarr.----fmsseraid alias Madie, the man brousht fn m on board the Ceres at :he Nore, upon lfiscwn confession of having been gu.lty of the mur der of the Mart's and Wii:lairson s families, is now beyond all doubt proved to be innocent of both these horrid transaetirns, as the Master of the Albatross tianport brig yesterday attended at this Office, from whence he went with Adkins to' the House of Z.:or rection in C. 1.1-bath-fields, in r Her to see Fitzge rald, wl pin he po,itively identified to be the same min as sery ng under his command on board jun! hi ig, at Lisbon, Gibraltar, and othor places, from .tholiane of his entering at Portsmouth, in January, 1811, in the !lame of Mahoney, until its return-to this country on the Ist of May last, without ever being absent from the vessel one night, which clearly establishes an afiii, the murders having taken place in December last. It i , tlictetcre reasonable to suppose, that the whole has been caused by a men tal derangement, strong symptoms of wl.ich he has shorn (lining I:is confinement in the House of Cor. rtction, and which is contOmed by the opinion of Mr. Webb, the Surgeon, who has constantly men- . ded him there. UII.DIIA L —H. Tubbs was yesterday charged with assaulting M. Gorman on the highway, and tak:ng from his person his w itch. The complainant, who had the appearance of a labourer, stated, that as he was passing near the end of Shoe-lane, in liket street, on &inlay night last, he was surrounded by several men, one of whom was the prisoner ; he endeavoured to gtt from them but in vain, and at length the pri soner snatched his watch, and ran cif, and at tie sume.moment be was knocked don n by another of the gang. The pritiner was apprehended on Tues day evening at the Two Brewers public house, where he was recognized by Gorman, who, with his wife, who accompanied him win n l.e was robbed, positively swore to his identity. The prisoner said, he could prove he was at the Two Brewers larb:ic house at the time it was alledged he bad commuted the robbery. He was, theretore,vemanded. liaTTost Gattnes.—Yesterday J. Martin, and h;s, wife and son, and J. IYright, ausl his wire, underwent another examination, standiog charged with counter feiting dollars, shillings, and si spruces, at a house in Doke -street, St. Geori„e's-fiads, when the charge being substantiated against Martin, and Wright and his wire, they were • fully committed ; Martin's wife and s u %vete discharged. _ _ _ ll'. hope was also fully committed, charged w:th robbing Mr. Hussey, a few nights ',ince, in Sharp's alley, Wlaitechapel, of £4OO in bank note:. UNPON-HALL.-.—SLIZURE OF GuNPowyEa.--A few days since Goff, an officer, received information, that an open-decked vessel, containing a large quantity of gunpowder, was, contrary to the Act of Parliament, lying at Mann's wharf, Bankside ; upon which he, accompanied by` Clark and Harris. two other r.flicers, went to the wharf, and just as they arrived, observed the persons on board the vessel en&avotiting to get her out into thestream, to effect which the j• had cut two or three other.barges adrift ; she got out by this means, but the officers took a brat, folli,wed, and boarded her, when they found she was an 07e0 barge belonging to Guildford, and that she had a quantity of Hour and bark on beard, and one hundred and twenty barrels of gunpowder, weighing about 1001 b. a barrel, which was placed in a very exposed situa lion : from the appearance of the hearth, it also seem ed that there had recently been a fire on board: un der these circumstances, the officers seized the barge, and laid an information at this office, against the owners of the powder. The Gunpowder Act pro vides, that vessels containing gunpowder shall not heave-to at any wharf, but shall moor in the stream, and continue there till the cargo is delivered into proper boats, which are described in the Act. It 36 also farther provided, that no other commodity shall he taken on board a vessel containing gunpowder ; that the ves sel shall be a decked vessel, and the casks containing the powder wrapped in hides, or covered with a tar paulin ; and that any powder found on board a ves sel, such precautions not having been taken, shall be forfeitcd to the se z:r. Tie Owner yesterday ap peaied at Union Hall, and pleaded Guilty to the in , forntatkm, imputing the nei;lt ct of ti provisions of the Act to the carelessness of the bargeman. The powder, which was worth upwards of 4800, became Ole property of the seizing Officers, and was delivered up to them. TIRE.—The mansion of I%4+r BULLY, at Stone ham-Hall, near Beaconsfield, was consumed by fire on Tuesday night, which was supposed to have been occasioned by some linen taking tire in the laundry. A post-chaise.broke down yesterday in Newgate street, the fore-wheel having slipped eff. A young Lady, who was inside, was in consequence severely lscerated by the glasr. of the window against which she was propelled. Her cheek was laid open from her eye to her chin. Tueiday morning. whilst some labourers were pulling down the Old White Swan public-house, in Blackman -street, SOUthWark, it sudden:y fell, when four men were buried in the ruins, one of whom had his leg and thikth broke, and was conveyed to St, Thomas's Holtal; the other three were extricated, having received considerable contusions. A worthy Hebrew went the other day into a public bow', in the neighbourhood of Leadenhall-market. and offered for saie, to some persons in the tap-room, a very elegantly polished time-piece a sshich was de corated with great taste. The sum he asked for it was A's; but nobody offering him finch a price, and many wishing, to ebt r ain the article, they proposed that it shoidd.be set up for auction. Atter some con si derAtion the Hebrew agreed, and the time-piece being knocked down at Vs. he witstaid and departed, The lucky purchaser, upufi examining it closely, was surprised to find that it was very difficult to open the hack, where k was necessary to wind up the works ; but being determined to view the mysteries of his ac quisition, he broke it open, and, to his astonishment, tound that it was stnffedwith• pieces of lend, for the purpose of removing suspicion as to ilea CHALLENGE. . . MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in his Majesty's Service, challerrge thy whole world to prove a single instance where their Medicine and method of cure ever failed of the desired effect. The practice of many years In the partially branch of their profession has not even rise to our unsuccessfUl case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure of Venereal Comp.al.ots, and that derangement of the system, which is the consequeri,:e of the pernicious/and wasteful effects of a habit long and mast unhappily pursued by the I outhsof both sexes, in the.one it will be found to be the unfaihng source of barren ' mess; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dls. tressing state of debility, %%1603,0 not timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These-are Its remote and ultimate effects, While con sumptions, less of muscular poor er„and various nervous complaints usually characterise the earlier stages of this scdita ry vice. Of per , sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their treatment is simple and Las never proved unsucceisful. in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most ebrinaite and complicated cases of venereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spurgy excrescences, hard tu mors, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, gleets, as also . STRICTURES, Whether recent or of long duration, and which have !milled the skill efother Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of • reatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hentorrhkge wird. often follows the application of the lunar ezteitic.

The weakness, relaxation, and debility proceedvg from this com plaint, is speedily removed, and the patient restored to snood and vigorous health. But when the debility has for years eds. ted, a proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Stricture has been destroyed, is indis . nensably requisite to revive the slumbering sparhs of life, and to reanimate the constitutloo, Several Noblemen and• Gentlemen, of the first respect ahtfityi have been under the care of Messrs.

Currie and Co.'s plan of treatment.. Many of these Gentlemen had Strictures from tel to twenty years, and were under the care of Messrs. Home and Hearsides, and other snrgeons of equal eminence, who attempted their curs by the application of the Mbar caustic., without success. Messrs.

FORTRESS OF BURGOS. It will he seen from the following short sketch of the town and fortress of Burgos, that the obstacle,i wl ich they present to the progress of an army are! considerable: Burgos, which long continued to enjoy splendour • and prc.eminence, as the capital of Old Castile, the cradle of the Spanish monarchy, has, for the last two centuries, declined from its prosperity, and is now a gloomy irregular town, containing only about 8 or WOO inhabitants. It is surrounded by walk, and fat& on a declivity, forming the right bank of the river Arlanzon, over which are thrown - thiee-stone bridges, connecting the town with the pleasant su. but bof La Bera. On the brow of the adjacent kill stands an ancient castle, which has been repaired and , strengthened with works, by the French ; and beyond this is another small hill, called St.Miclttfl's, where on a horn-work had been erected, which was carried by storm on the 19th ult. The castle is a lofty square building of solid masonry, and commands the hell of St. Michael's, v hie!), in return, overlooks the outer; defences of the former. Adjoining to the castle is a church, which the Frenah have converted into a fort, and both these are included within three distinct lines of circumvallation, the whole forming a fortress of an oblong figure. Ali these three lines mast be successively carried, berme the castle can be taken. After getting possession of St. Michael's hill, our engineers directed their approaches on the right, and • erected a battery, which commanded the outer line of the works connecting the fortress w;th the town: This line was escaladed on the night of the 22d,at t wo points, by a British and Portuguese detachment ;.the , former of whom advanced so far, that on the failure of the Pot ttiguese attack, it was not with an great diffi.' culty withdrawn. The Commander of the fortress is said to be a General who has long acted under CAL relli, and who has doubtless received positive orders to hold out to the last, the importance of the post being strongly- telt by both parties. U.ttil it is re-! &iced, the French army may remain safely at Bri- 1 viesca, a walled city only six leagues distant, and se parated from the plain of Burgos by a lofty mountain' —at the next stage beyond which, on the road to wards France, is the tremendous pass of Pancorbo, securing the approach to the Ebro.
