TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD. About three weeks ago, a labouring man named Tol kenning, was received into St. Thomas's Hospital with a fractured leg, which he had received at St. Katharine's Dock. He went on very well till a few days ago, when mortification having commenced, the leg was am putated. A violent haemorrhage then took place, and it was feared that the man would have died in a very short time, when Mr. Green took eight ounces of blood from two students, and they were transfused into the veins of the dying man. He recovered in a very short time, and was left for the night very comfortable. On Sunday night it was found necessary to transfuse eight ounces more blood into him. He is now much better, and is ex pected to recover. THE NEW OPERATION IN SURGERY. A Meeting of the Westminster Medical Society took place on Saturday evening at their house in Sackville street. The number of Members and visitors was un usually great, and the room was thronged beyond all precedent. The subject that excited a peculiar interest was the exhibition of the instruments which have been lately introduced into this country to supersede one of the most severe operations to which the human frame can be subjected—to prevent the necessity of the performance of litbototoy, by the crushing or pulverising the calculus, instead of cutting into the most sensitive organs of the body for its extraction. Mr. Costello. the friend of Doctor Oviale, the inventor, most ably explained the different uses of the instruments which are employs& and answered most is. tidactorily various questions which were put to him upon all the points connected with the subject. He was Maned to with the most intense interest, and every attention was paid to the full and clear comprehension of the different details. The ope ration seemed to consist of three stages, by the first of which the presence of the minutest particle of calculus was to be (Se lected by ;the introduction of a proper instrument.—ln the se. mod stage the calculus Is firmly grasped by mother instrument, whirl, when introduced, is capable of being rendered by the ope rator a claw, for four branches which pass down the centre can be expanded, more or less, according to the size of the object to be seised, at the will of the Surgeon. The third part consists in the perforation or destruction of the calculus by a part of the mime instrument. A very interestinidtscussion took place, in which Dr. Gemstone. Dr. SIGMOND, Dr. Tuomesou, Mr. ADAPT% and Mr. MACILWAIII, took the leading share. The opinion seemed to be that this inven tion was of the greatest importance to the cause of humanity ; that there were a great number of cases in which this operation would be successful, but at the same time it was not to be denied that under very many circumstances t►e usual operation was the only resource ; that the introduction of the present improvement re flected the highest credit uponiu founders, its Improvers, and its promoters ; but that the public mind should not be excited to too sanguine anticipations of its universal success. On the conclusion of the debate Mr. Courstso received the thanks of the Society—to which be was justly entitled for the clear, the able, and judicious manner in which he explained every thing, and for the urbanity with which be replied to the objections that were raised for the purpose of a complete investigation of this molt interesting subject.

FACTS AND FANCIES. • WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE the daily Papers concur in the statement of the following extra ordinary and important fact :-." Despatches from Lord HEYTESBURY at St. Petersburgh, for the Earl of A DER DEEN, were brought to the Foreign Office on Friday night, by a gentleman." There is something quits startling in the awful formality and preciseness of this announcement, which is by no means complimentary to the good people of Downing-street ; since the appearance of " a gentleman" amongst them requires so ostentatious a display in the public Journals. Hitherto, people were simple enough to imagine that despatches, upon which the fate of nations might depend, should be entrusted to none but men of approved integrity, honour, intelligence, and education—qualities which, in other times, were looked upon as the indispensable attributes of " a gen tleman"—a character which modern " Newsmen" seem disposed to treat as a " rara atria" in Downing-street. " RUSSIAN MAGNANIMITY."—We learn from St. Petersburg that the EMPEROR NICHOLAS has been pleased to confer on General BARON ToLL the Order of St. George of the Second Class. We had no doubt, that as soon as his " magnanimous" Majesty had secured ion of the high road to Constantinople, we should C a r e ; his raising Toll. Tat GREEK PILESIDENCY.WO know not whether a poet or a philosopher had the merit of discovering that " a well-bred dog, when he sees preparations making for flinging bim out of the window, quietly walks down stairs :" but this we know, that there is nothing so cur rish in the disposition of Count CAPO DISTRIAS, who no sooner perceives that the patriot Greeks are anxious to relieve him from the anxieties, cares, and fatigues of office, than he begins to fortify himself against such an uncourteous proceeding, by employing agents in the in terior of the country, as well as at the Courts of the Great Powers, " to secure to him the office of President of the Government." The Count, we suspect, is not the only ambitious Gentleman in the world, who, having once held the reins of Government, is reluctant to relin quish them ; or who, when his fitness for the Ministe rial " Minuet de la Cour" becomes questionable, would not still exclaim " Da Capo." SUSPICION OF PLUNDER. — " Captain Noah" and "the Coburg."—ln the "Thames Police" Reports of last week, we find that Captain NOAH STEVENSON, of " the Coburg," of Yarmouth, his chief mate, a seaman, and • Custom-house officer, were charged with plundering that vessel of two muskets, some tobacco, sugar, and rum, which were found concealed under the bed in which the Captain's wife was lying. Of the mus kets we say nothing ; and for the tobacco and runs, why, there never was a sailor yet, " from Captain NOAH down to Captain COOK," who had not & penchant for them. Had this been a case of smuggling, or injuring the revenues of the State, we think we could point to another " Coburg"—a continental letter of marque— that requires overhauling as much as "Captain NOAH'S" bark, since, through the suspicious negligence of a quon dam Government officer, the revenues of the State have been considerably impaired, and British spirits reduced below proof, by the grasping avidity of the Captain of the foreign smack. COMMAND OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET.—It is said that the command of the Russian fleet would long since have been conferred upon Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, but for the delivery to the Emperor of a round robin by the seamen of that fleet, without any signatures, soli citing the continuance of Admiral GREGG in the com mand. Yesterday, as Mrs. White, a respectable female, who kept a milliner's shop in Piccadilly, was passing by the Golden-cross, Charing-cross, an infuriated bull (which had escaped •from a drove), attacked her, and gored in a most dreadful manner; it was sometime before she could be rescued from the merciless animal. She was imme diately taken to the hospital, but died a few minutes after her arrival ; the unfortunate lady has left a daughter and a husband, who is in ill-health, to deplore her loss. It has been decided that the large boards placed by brewers against public-houses are nuisances, calculated to facilitate fires, and to prevent inhabitants escaping by their windows, and liable under the Building Act, to be taken-down. _ _ Thursday last we heard a case in our City Court which I we believe is unprecedented in its annals, and, take it for all in all, we are certainwe shell not look upon the like spin. It was an in. formation laid by a member of the University against a tradesman of the city, for giving a receipt on unstamped paper for the sum oft Q. The informer was Mr. Hew Steuart Powell, a commoner of Trinity College ; the person Informed against was Mr. Messenger, the up holder. In consequence of the information senile Somerset-house, S. Cooper, Esq. stamp distributor for the county, came from Henley to conduct the case ; the Mayor, Sit Joseph Lock. presided Mr. Powell deposed that be had been indebted to Mr. Messenger in the sum of .34, half of wbkb be bad paid in Feb. last, and the balance on the 3d of the present month ; that Mr. Messenger had signed his name to the word " settled," but not on a stamp. The bill was produced In Court, and Mr. Messenger did not deny his having written the said receipt. Sir J. Lock, during the bearing, several times evinced his astonishment that the informer should have acted in the way he bad done. At the conclusion he expressed his sorrow that such a case should have been brought before him, and said that it was tbe first of the kind he had ever heard, although he bad been In the commission of the Peace for upwards of 17 years. He la. mented his being forced to make the conviction; he understood, however, that he possessed the power of mitigating the penalty, ten pou nds, to half that sum, and he should have been happy if he could have reduced it much lower, particularly as Mr. Powell bad not expressed a wish for a stamped receipt. He bad heard of intornutions of this nature proceeding from persons in the lowest situation of life, but never before, to his knowledge, bad one proceeded from a Gentleman. Mr. Cooper claimed expenses, as the penalty bad been mitigated, on the authority of an Act of the 35th of George 111. The Town Clerk objected to the costs incurred in travelling expences. It terminated in Mr. Poweffe assuring Mr. Cooper that be would pay these expenses; and Mr. Measenpr was convicted in the penalty of XS and 135. costs of Court. The reasons alleged by Mr. Powell for laying the information were, that Mr. Messenger bad dunned him urgently and repeatedly. and threatened to put him into the Vice Chan cellor's Court; and that bad offered him a much smaller price for goods he wished to return than had been given for them afterwards by another upholder. The ease having been brought forward so early as nine o'clock. so persons but those acting ondally were presens:—.Dp e ted Sena THE CHURCH. The Rev.

WHO IS CAPTAIN GARTH? The following statement is given by Tire Stec.dard of last night, with the tone of authority : " Captain Garth is the son of General Gantt. General 6. , rth is, by a marriage fulfilling all the moral and religious conditions of such a contract, the husband of an illustrious Lady. The union, however, though such as must satisfy the mo•t scrupu lous and delicate conscience, is by a law affecting one family, and one only, in the realm, 'politically invalid. It was, thete fore, deemed proper to withhold any public declaration of it ; though uo attempt, we believe, was ever made to conceal it trout such of the immediate connexions of the parties as were of discreet age. Captain Garth, the offspring of the marriage, was therefore educated as a private gentleman—the rank to which his father's station entitled him ; perhaps he was indulged to form habits of expense above that rank, for it is difficult to explain from any other cantles the course which be has run. " Overwhelmed with debts, Captain Garth, having exhausted all fair means of importuning his unhappy parents to ailnilter to his necessities. betook himself at length to menaces, and bat ing s surreptitiously obtained' a number of letters that had passed between his father and mother in the confience of mar ried life—letters which we know contained nothing hut what would naturally and innocently pass between persons in that close relation— nothing that was not honourable to that Ulustrioua Lady_ —nothing in the slightest degree reflecting upiat any member of her family—having surreptitiously obtained' these letters. Capt. Garth threatened to publish them in full, if he should not be paid ter their suppression. The Lady whose dreadful misfortune it is to have given With to 'welt a son, was at the time in eatremely delicate health trona nervous affection ; the shock of such a crud threat alone would kill her, and there were other con He ration , of great weight, which would s:rungly urge the propriety of •ep pressing the affair. The marriage, which it wag threatened to ex pose, was. in some tnea•ure, a viol .tins of the law, and by s member of the family most bound to respect it. Norh:ng cooki re said in its justification, ha fact, by which the wisdom of a law to which, we believe, the first person in the country is strongly at• tached. would not be condemned. Thar was, too, the inconve nience to be apprehended from tzpsiog to the gluttonous curiosity of a public, ever greedy of gossip, all the little trifling commutates - tions between man and wife, running through several years— through the seasons of those undignifizrl joys and cares of which the staple of our lives is composed. " The security of persons in humble life is, that few would be at the pains of reading our private letters, if they were print, d ; but still we are annoyed, if we find that a country post mistress indulges a passion for domestic anecdote at the expense of oar privacy. The dislike to impertinent inttusion must be still stronger in the higher ranks. They cannot but feel that much of the prestige of station arises from the imperfect acqusintance which the vulgar Save with their superiors; and they must be aware (or they read Court Circulars to little purpose; that the slightest movements of the great interest the herd, from which they may infer that the disclosure of the most private occurences in the lives of the most illustrious persons would naturally become objects of intense curio. city. What brother, we ask, would like to see the public walls posted with the private letters of his bzioved siver—to her hus band? Yet there are nothing in the several mysteries of chalking and placarding which could give half the notoriety to any letters of private persons that must have been obtained at once by the letter. which Garth threatened to publish. " This matter was seen at once in its proper light, by an Illus Wow Person, whose sagacity and good taste have never been found to fail. As Prince and brother, he felt it his duty to put an end to the perplexing difficulty at any reasonable sacrifice; perhaps he con sidered, too. that silly and prodigal as Garth had been. be was a young man, and might reform; and as a member of the must illustrious family in the empire, by a morally and giously, though not politically valid marriao, he was entitled to some respectable provision from that family. Sir Herbert Taylor was therefore authorised to offer Garth the meam of relieving himself from his present dielculties, and also au annuity, which should enable him to maintain a rank in some de gree suitable to the circumstances of his birth (.85,000 to pay debts, and 11,0001. annuity, which fur such objects could not be thought too much.) Two conditions, however, were to be imposed, which sufficiently indicate the kindly spirit in which the negoziatlona were carried on by Sir H. and the illustrious party for whom be acted.— Garth was required to reform his plan of life by breaking up a ruinous establishment, and to put the papers which he bad ' sur reptitiously obtained' into hands in which they could not be em ployed to wound hit mother's feelings, or the feelings of her family. Pending the negociatlons the papers were placed under seal in the house of a Paul, Snow, and Co.' the respectable bankers. " Garth's agent in the affair, Mr. Westmacett. a literary gentle man, who seems to be by far too bonoutable a man to suit the purposes of his employer, was made, with Ur Herbert Taylor, the joint guardians of the box. These two gentlemen for some thug urged the arrangement with honlurabk seal, but with perfect fair ness on both sides, when it was found impossible (as we lee by the affidavits) to do anything, from the utter shullmg and incorrigible folly of the youth. No true statement of his debts could be ob tained from him, no promise of reform could be enforced. The compromise, therefore, broke off, and the only fact which it was material to withhold from the public—namely, Captain Garth's relation to an Illustrious Lady—having transpired in the course of it, there is not much chance of its being renewed."
