LINES,' SUG rED BY THE I:KORBTAM FATE ON MONO° PARK, THL CELEBRATED AFRICiR TRAVELLER. From Miss MITYOID'S Poems, just published. Oh ! when at length through Afric's dreary wild, Defying death and danger, PARK had toil'J, How proud the day ! how blest the vent'rous man, That saw accomplish'd all his mighty plan ! Saw Niger roll to meet the morning beam, And Sego's tow'rs reflected in the stream ! Delighted of the mystic wave he drank, Hail'd the kight flood, and dropt upon the bank ; And on that spot, then first by Christian trod, Pour'd forth thanksgiving to the living Gon. Proud was that day ! But lengtken'd labours rose ; By sickness wraken'd, and begirt with foes. Reluctantly he turn'd ; and pass'd again The dreary wilderness, the fiery• plain ; Through barb'rous tribes and warring nations toss, Till health and strength, and all but hope was lost, When negro friendship bore him to the strand, And science hail'd him to his native land. Then was his hour of bliss ! success had crowed, The daring youth, and spread his fame around; And pity's sigh, and admiration's smile Flush'd his pale cheek,•and sweeten'd every toil. Then high-born beauty join'd th' applauding throng, And added grace to nature's sweetest song. • Whilst in the "white man's woe, the negro's care," The gentler sex a double triumph share. Oh ! when secure in Albion's happy land, He trac'd his dangers with recording hand, He little thought, when HOUGHTON'S shorten'd date Drew pitying tears, how similar hi: fate ! • How soon those blood-stain'd shores should seal his doom, Ur slav'ry close him in a living tomb! Again he went, with hope and ardour fir'd, With mild philanthropy's warm zeal inspled ; Again he went ! untrodden worlds to scan, To meliorate the lot of savage man ! To ope the track for England's peaceful train, That wafts her commerce o'er the azure main, To bid fair science bless the sultry shore, And art diffusive spread her golden store ; Bid pure Religion, 'mid the trackless wild, Rcar her high fame, and pour per precepts mild, • Converted nations own the sacred tie ! And Afric tin day-spring from on high ! For this the wand'rer went. And how he fell Another Park, in future years, may tell. But fall howe'er he might, whether he died Swept by the fierce Tornado's furious tide ; Or, whether in the desart met his fate, With famish'd eye, alone and desolate; Or, still more wretched, destin'd to endure The ling'ring tortures of the barb'rous Moor; Howe'er he fell, let glorious was his end, Of truth, of nature, and of man the friend! But loni; shall Science mount her vent'rous son Untimely lost; her arduous task undone. Long o'er his fate Philanthropy shall sigh , And Faith and Virtue waft him to the sky ! In the Bill now before Parliament for amending the laws relative to turnpike roads, it is enacted that where any cart or waggon entitled to exemption from toll on acco.int of its conveying fodder or manure, shall have paid toll on passing through a turnpike. gate empty, the driver shall be entitled to receive back such tolls on passing the gate loaded with fodder or manure, in the tourse of the same day. Another clause enacts, that the names of all towns and villages, shall be inscribed ir. legible characters at their en trances. A penalty is imposed on toll collectors giv. in s ; base coin in change, and refusing to take it back. A man in Forres, who was blind from his in fancy, and whose ingenuity in mechanics has excited much astonishment, was lately committed to gaol, on a charge of entering into several shops by means of keys which he had made for the purpose, and car rying off goods of every description. It is said, that owing to the peculiar construction of one of the locks, he had devoted a great portion of three years in mak ing a key to fit it. A journeyman weaver, named Appleton, on Tti day, undertook for a trifling wager to eat 36 penny buns and drink two quarts of alse in 40 minutes, at a public house near Long-alley, in Mootfields ; he de voured 30 of the buns and drank half the ale in little more than half an hour, but he had by that time be come so ill, that he fell from his seat, and was carried to his apartments in Wheeler -street, Spitalfields, in a state ct . insensibility. Late on Friday night a gang of thieves got over the garden wall of Mr. Taylor, at Hampstead, with intent to rob the house, but, being alarmed by the watch, they made their escape, leaving a man's fur cap, a pair of gloves, a bludgeon, a pair of slips, and an iron crow behind them. M. Joiner, the younger, charged with having ma liciously set fire to a plantation of fir, and other tim ber trees, belonging to C. Spurrier, Esq. on the night of the 24th of March last, situate in the parish of Great Canfurd, is committed to Ole Castle of Dor chester. At Glasgow, on Tuesday last, a boy, of about three years of age, was left sleeping in a folding bed; NI hen a servant coming in to arrange the furniture, and clean the room, negligently fplded the bed with- out taking notice of the child. About a quarter of an hour thereafter, the mother came in, and missing her child, turned down the bed, and found it com pressed and smothered by the bed-clothes. Every mean of resuscitation was instantly tried, but without success. • A boy, seven years of age, snme days since play ing near a windmill, in the neighbourhood of Brigg, was struck by one of the sails, and his head was shattered to atoms. Saturday noon an elderly woman, crossing the road near Ratcliff-cross, fell down as a cart was pas sing along, one of the wheels went over her body, by which she was so shockingly hurt as to cause her almost immediate death. • Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was held at the . ,:, on the body of J. his apartment, in Roe- Verdict—Died by the P..II2LUIGIENTARs - PRECEDENTS. ,We alluded on Saturday to the upright conduct of Chief Justice Hon. on the subject of the right of the House of Commons to commit. The following ex tract from Lord HOLT's Reports contains the opinion of that Learned Judge upon this most important question : .THE QUEEN 4. PATY AND AL.' MICH. 3 ANN. On a writ of Habeas Carpus, the Defendants, who had been committed to Newgate by the House of Commons, were brought into Court ; and the cause of their commitment was returned to be, for having commenced and prosecuted an action at law against the Constables of Ailesbury, • for refusing their votes in the election of Members of • Parliament, in contempt of the jurisdiction, and breach of privileges of the House of Commons. The Counsel for the Defendants prayed that they might be discharged for several reasons; and for that they hid done no unlawful act, &c. But three of the Judges opposed it, and said, that the House of Commons were the proper Judges of their own privileges, &c. HOLT, Chief Justice.—" I am of opinion, that the prosecution of the suit is lawful, and no breach of the privilege of that House ; nor can their judgment make it so, or conclude this Court from determining contrary; and when the House of Commons exceed their legal bounds and authority, their acts are wrongful, and can not be justified more than the acts of private m"i. There is no question but that their authority is from the law, and as it is cir camscribed, so it may be exceeded. If we should say, they are judges of their privilege and their own authority, and nobody else, that would make their privileges as they would have them. In such case, if there be a wrongful imprisonment by the House of Commons, what Court shall deliver the party ? Shall we then say, there is no redress, and that we are not Mlle to execute those laws on which the liberty of the subject depends ? It is true, all Courts are so far judges of their own privileges,•hat they may pu nish for contempt ; but to make any Cour_ final judges of them, exclusive of every other jurisdiction, i 3 to introduce a state of con tusion, by making every man a judge in his own cause." In a case on a complaint of a Breach of Privilege by a publication, pending the proceedings in Parlia ment against Sir ELIJAH INIPEY, Lord GnEswILLE, then a Member of the House of Commons, endea voured to account for the House c f Commons having formerly sometimes proceeded summarily, when they ought to have sent the subject to be inquired into in .a Court of Law, from the following circumstance : t. the King granted commissions to the Judges quamdiu sib; placutrit, the House was afraid of trusting their privileges to the examination of the Judges ; for the questions in dispute were most commonly relative to the prerogatives of the Crown, and they feared the influence of the Crown over Judges, removable at the King's pleasure. But now that the King. grants commissions to the Judges quandiu re Lew gesserint, that ground of apprehension is at an end." The Rouse of Commons ought, therefore, said Lord GRENVILLE, never to attempt to oust the common law of its juris diction. ENSIGN Cowell.. —Our Readers will recolLzt the circumstance of Ensign Cowell having been fired at near St. Margaret's Church, in Old Palace-yard, dur ing the late disturbances. On the morning of the Wednesday following, as Thom as Hassell, groom to tl e Duke of Cambridge, was exercising a horse, in St. James's Park, at the time the Guards were about to march off to St. James's Palace, a townsman of his, of the name of Henry Blackin, a gentleman's servant out of employ, .entered into conversation with him ; and Blackin observed upon the purple ribbon on the head of the hone, and asked if it was Sir Francis Burdett's colour, or if it was put on the horse to re joice that Francis was gone to the Tower ? The groom replied, that was not the case, but that the ribbon was merely the regimental colour, to which his Royal Highness belonged. Blackin observed, that the Life Guards had behaved extremely ill dur ing the late disturbances ; one of them had been killed, and he wished they had all been shot. .Ye further observed, that he knew the man who shot at Ensign Cowell, in Old Palace-yard, and was stand ing within two yards of him, when he discharged the pistol ; Blackin also made some other observations respecting the conduct of the troops, which induced the witness to mention the conversation to the Duke of Cambridge the first opportunity, who reported it to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and on the Saturday following a warrant was issued from that office against Blackin, who underwent an examination, when lie denied the principal parts of the conversation with the groom respecting his know- ing the man, and being near him, when he shot at Ensign Several Gentlemen who were on the spot at the time the pistol was discharged, at tended, to see if they could identify' the prisoner, having been there at the time, but they were not able to do it. The prisoner was, however, committed for a misdemeanor, upon the evidence of the groom, charged with refusing to give evidence upon the ca pital charge, to Tothill.fields Bridewell, wh ere h e remained till yesterday, he was then brought to Bow. street 'Office, and admitted to bail, when a respect able Gentleman attended for him, who said he could prove, beyond the possibility of a doubt, tlstt the prisoner was not on th spot at the time En s ig n Cowell was shot at, but that he was at another place —and he was at a I.ss to conjecture what could have induced him to say he knew the man who discharged the pistol. Three men named Bennett, Isaacs, and Abrahams. were yesterday brought to Bow -street Office, from St. Clement's watch-house, charged with knocking a Gentleman down in the Strand, on Sunday night, and behaving in a very outrageous manner. rhe •Gentleman very humanely agreed not to prosecute them, on condition of their paying £5 to the poor of the parish. Mr. READ observed, that the Gentleman had exercised a deal of forbearance, and that they would not have fared so well if they had gone to the Sessions. Yesterday Sarah Purrier was fully committed, from Worship -street, charged With the wilful murder of her husband, in French-alley, Shoreditch, by striking him over the head with a mallet. IV. Clad was likewise committed, charged by M. Wall and others, with stealing a quantity of books and paper, belonging to the India ctmpany ; as was T. Crothall, for stealing a quantity tin, the pro perty of Mr. D0 . .-ding, in Banner -street, St. Luke's. Wednesday morning about two o'clock, as Mr. Gray's carter was driving his master's waggon from Newbury to Basingstoke market, he was stopped near the White Lion, at Ewehurst, by three foot-pads ; one of whom held the horses, another presented a horse pistol to his head, and threatened to shoot him if he spoke, or moved, while the third robbed him of 4s. 6d. and afterwards searched the waggon, and stole a cheese and a ham. ?:~.; 45t'44t10 , 5*41%1 . EDINBURGH, APRIL 19 Yesterday, Sir GitotioE V.AcimztE, accompanied by Mr. HENRY HOLLAND, and Mr. RICHARD BRIGHT, of this University, sailed from `Leith for Stromness, from whence they are to proceed to Iceland, in a vessel which is expected there from London. The object of this arduous undertaking is to ex plore part of that inhospitable coutury, which, with out British commiseration, would, in consequence of the war,.be deprived of the absolute itecessarles of life. In the circumscribed state of our commerce, this country is very well worth the attention of Great Bri tain. In return for our coarse fabrics, we :night pro cure such articles as Iceland, under proper mana g e- - ment, Would afford in great plenty ; such as fish, oil, feathers, and sulphur, the scarcity of which last article has been such as to have already attracted the attention of Parliament.

RENOVATED HEALTH. IT has been too frequently the subject of just and L general reprobation, that men destitute of the elements of the medical art have offered themselves as candidates for public patronage in the prcifessiou of Physic. For the purpose of doing justice to the result of our studio and experience, and to prevent us from being classed among those empirics wlitie impudent pre tensions have, unfortunately for society, been too favourably ceived, we beg leave to submit to the liberal and enlightened, a faithful statement of our pursuits and acquirements. After having received a regular medical education, as the pupils of Messrs. Grinds! and 131izard, whose lectures and practice we carefully attena:d, as Pro:'essors and Surgeons of the London Hos pital, we entered ourselves ai students in that justly celebrated school for medical acquirements, the Royal College of &lin burgh, and were instructed in the different branches of Anatomy, surgery, the Theory and practice of Physic,- Chemistry, Mid wifery, Botany, &c. &c. &c. by tilose eminent Professors, Drs. Munro, Gregory, Black, .Hamilton, Duncan, and Rutherford. We trust we shall not be deemed presumptuous in saying, that our proficiency and acquirements are not inconsiderable. Having for a long series of years made VENEREAL COMPLAINTS, and the various diseases of DEBILITY, the particular object of our studies and practice, it will, we hope, be allowed that we have acquired superior knowledje of their treatment and care. In sliBht and recent cases of iiae•ction, a perfect re-establishment is completed in the short per!,).l of two days, and in those of the ' itmost inveteracy, a licre' other practitioners have failed of suc labs, a proper perseverance in our plan of treatment ensuresto the patient a safe and radical cure. Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the ef fects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes, there are none more alarmiug or more distressing than those deficiencies and debilities which frequently prevent or em bitter the matrimonial state. To such persons it must be a con soling reflection to know that they may now, by a new and infal lible mode of treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings, a strong, wady, and vigorous constitution. In all cases of debility, from whatevet cause arising, as well as in every spe cies of Venereal infection, we may he consulted by patients of either sex with the greatest secrecy and honour. Hours of con sultation at home from ten to three, and from six in the evening till ten at night. Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars of their case, age, a2cl general habit of living, &c. inclosing a remit tance for advice and medicines, when the sante will be bit en Gr sent to any part of the kingdom. To ensure that secrecy so es sential to our undertaking, the postage of letters troy be added to the account for medicines. CUIW.IE and Co.

HONOURED' SIR, BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Vencrea ; 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 twit-4! discharged from the Hospital, with tittle relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the ,;:ring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence.
