I I I OF THE CO: FIFTH REPORT, EXAMINE INTO TIIE PUBLIC EXPJ ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. APPOINTED TO ENQUIRE AND (Continued from the Sr.tß of April 1.) • It is proper, before we close the consideration of the establishment of the Army Medical Department, to notice, that there is a class of Medical Officers be longing to a branch of the Military Service who are, in no respect, under the controul of the Army Medi cal Board. These are called Garrison Surgeons.— The persons who were heretofore appointed by this name to our islands and stations abroad, are now commissioned' as Surgeons to the Forces ; for it was thought, that under the former title, they were not so disposable for every service as they would be under the general description of Surgeons to the Forces. Their duties, however, are precisely the same, and have therefore been already noticed by us. But the persons of whom we are now speaking are the Medi cal Officers, who, under the title of Garrison Sur geons, are on the establishment of the different forts and garrisons at home. • Some of these last offices are appointed, as appears in the Appendix to the 36th Report of the Committee of Finance in 1797, by Commission frcm his Majesty, and others by the re spective Governors ; and they all receive their pay through the Governors ; none of these surgeons hold their appointments on the recommendation of the Army Medical Board, or perform any duty connec ted with the Department. Under these circum stances, we should have thought it perhaps unneces sary to have noticed this class of officers on the pre sent occasion, if, in the course of our inquiry, we had• not learned that two, at least, of these appointments were mere sinecures : for, having issued our precept requiring the attendance of the Gentlemen who, in the War Office Return, are stated to hold the situa tions, in the garrison of the Tower of London, of Phy sician, with the- pay of one hundred and seventy-two pounds seventeen shillings and sixpence per annum ; and Surgeon, with that of forty-three pounds four shillings and four-pence per annum, the precepts Were brought back, with the report, that the first of these officers resided in Lincolnshire, and the other in Suffolk. Such information suggests the propriety, we think, of an investigation into the actual execution of any duties by this class of officers, and of discon tinuing these appointments altogether, if it should appear that they have no duties to perform ; for we conceive that, even if these appointments be given as rewards for former services, it is a very improper mode of remuneration. _ _ That we might have a more enlarged view of the constitution of the Army Medical Establishment, and of the manner in which the Army Medical business is conducted, and be thereby better enabled to propose any new arrangement, if any should appear to be ex pedient, we have made some enquiries into the consti tution of the Medical Establishments of the Ordnance and Navy Departments, and into the anode of con ducting their Medical business. For this purpose, we sent certain questions to the Ordnance and Transport Boards, desiring that written answers might be given to them ; and when these were received, we procured further information on the subject by a personal examination of Sir John Mac namara Hayes and Doctor Harness, who are at the head of the Medical branches of their respective De • partments. The Medical Establishment of Me Ordnance consists of an Inspector General, appointed in May 1806 ; a Surgeon General ; an Assistant Surgeon General ; 13 Surgeons ; one Apothecary, appointed in October 1806 ; ‘24 Assistant Surgeons ; many Supernumerary Assistant Surgeons; and six or seven Civil Surgeons resident at certain stations, whose pay is only three shillings and sixpence per diem. It seems that there are no persons under the title of Physicians now belonging to this Department ; and all those who are at the head of it, except the Inspec tor General, have gone through all the gradations of the medical service of the Ordnance. The Inspector General has risen, however, from the rank of Surgeon to the Forces in America under Major General Bur goyne, in 1776, to that of Inspector in the Army, before his appointment to his present situation. Previous to the appointment of the present Inspec tor General, the superintendance of the Ordnance Medical Service Lead been conducted by Dr. Brock lesby, under the title of Physician-General to the Ordnance ; and on his death, by the Surgeon-Gene ral and Assistant-Surgeon-General of this Depart ment. These Officers are solely occupied in the bu siness of their Ordnance employments, and are resi dent at Woolwich, which is considered as the head quarters of the department. The present Inspector-General, who is generally resident in London, and is not restrained from fol lowing private practice, has no general instructions for his duty ; but " he goes to Woolwich constantly once a week ;"—" he inspects all Ordnance Hospi tals throughout the united kingdom ;"—and " the returns of Woolwich Hospital, and of all other Hos pitals, are made to him weekly." No person from the Ordnance Department attends at the Surgeons College at the examination of Candi dates for employment in this service ; but few, if any, are employed who have not diplomas from the College of Surgeons in London, Dublin, or Edin burgh. No difficulty is found in procuring Gentle men, so qualified, to fill vacancies when any occur ; and there are generally Candidates on the list waiting for vacancies., No medical persons are employed on the Foreign Service of the Ordnance who have not bees previously acquainted with the practice of the hospital at Woolwich. The Master-General appoints the Medical Officers originally, on the recommeVa tion of the Inspector-General ; and promotion, if there be no objection, always goes according to seniority. The monthly, fortnight, and weekly returns, which are made to the Ordnance Board, are the means by which the conduct of the persons employed in their medical service is judged of; and it is observed, " with satisfaction," thlt it seldom or ever happens any report of the improper conduct of these Gentle men is made. The great distinction, therefore, which appears in this view of the constitution of the Medical Establis hment of the Ordnance, and in that which we have given of tile Army Medical establishment; is,. that in the first, the persons at the head of the department have a general experience in military medical prac t ce—that, with the exception of the Inspector Gene ral, they are solely occupied in their ordnance em ployment at the head-quarters of the ordnance—that, although on the first appointment of Medical Officers, the diplomas alluded to are thought sufficient testisno nials of their ability, yet that no one is employed on foreign service who has not been previously acquain ted with hospital practice at Woolwich—and, that promotion, unless in special cases, goes by seniority. (To &e continua. OLD BAILEY, APRIL 8. Marie France, Jona, servant to Mr. Hewitson, of Catharine court, Tower-hill, was indicted under the warrant of J. Unwin, Esti. one of the Coroners for the County of Middlesex, for the murder of her female bastard child, on the Sd of March last, at the house of Mr. Birket, on Clapton Terrace, in the parish of Hackney. It appeared that the Prisoner had been three years in the service of Mrs. Birket, and about twelve months servant to Mrs. Hewitson, the daughter of that lady. Mrs. H. went on a fortnight's visit to her mother, taking the Prisoner with her to attend to a young child. On the day stated in the indictment, Mrs. B. and Mrs. H. went to take tea with a lady, in the town of Clapton, leaving the prisoner and two other female servants in care of the house. The prisoner was suddenly taken ill, went to bed ; and upon inquiry it was found by the judgment of Mr. Smith, a surgeon, and Mr. Dowling, surgeon and apothecary, of Hackney, that she had lain in. She, however, denied the fact ; but upon search being made, the child was found dead and con cealed in a box under the bed of the prisoner. The probable cause 1 of death was most minutely explained by the professional Gen tlemen; but their description would better suit a work designed for the College of Surgeons than a daily print which is to be read by all classes of the community. It is sufficient for us to say, that the death of the child appt ared to have been occasioned by the blind efforts of an ignorant woman to relieve herself in the pains 1 of travail, than any intentional design to destroy her offspring.— ' She was consequently acquitted—but, under the direction of Lord Ellenberough, who tried the case, a fresh question was put to the Jury, namely, whether the woman had concealed her preg nancy or not? This the Jury decided in the affirmative, and sentence was left to be pronounced by the Recorder, which we understand to be 12 months imprisonment. The prisoner, in her defence, said "it was an accident in heP extremes," and calledthe nurse to prove, that she had provided linen for the infant. She was a mild-countenanced young woman, about 22 years of age, and appeared to be more affected by any imputaiion that seemed to be thrown upon her character for humanity, than by the idea of the probable fate that awaited her.—The Court was uncom monly crowded. Saturday twenty-six prisoners were tried, one of whom was capitally convicted, viz. G. Williman, for stealing privately in the house of W. Wiles, cash and notes to the amount of 701. The prosecutor keeps the Windmill Inn, in St. John's-street, and the prisoner was employed • in the yard. The property was stolen from the warehouse after it had been inclosed in a parcel to go by the Wellington stage coach. The prisoner had been left its possession of the keys ofthe warehouse on the 7th of March, for about two hours in the even ing, after which they were delivered to a boy, and the parcel was missing. The greater part of the property was found in the pri soner's possession. None of the notes were identified, but the strongest of all proofs was an unsolicited confession on his part. Ten were convicted of felony, viz. M. M'Kay, for stealing eight yards of calico, &c. the property of E. Johnson ; Mary Ayres, for stealing a till, containing 6s. and other monies, the property of L. Hetherington; A. Tripp, for stealing two sheets, two shirts, and other articles, the propirty of T. Talbot ; R. Flaw; for stealing 15113. of Indigo, the property of Messrs. 'Wilson,Preston, and Wilson—received sentence of trans portation for seven years • Elizabeth Steward, for stealing a great coat, &c. the property tie. Brown ; M. Course, for stealing a quantity of sheet lead, the property of Hill Darley Esq. ; Maria Jones, for stealing five shawls, the property of T. Powciitch ; W. Chase, for stealing two pieces of gingham, &c. the property of W. arshal ;R. Argent, for stealing SOll3. of tea, the property of Messrs. Hanson ; Mary Johnson, for stealing six silver tea spoons, value 18s. the property of Mary Ward; and Two were convicted of Misdemeanors,viz. C. Way,aliasErmstead, for defrauding the house ofJonesand Wel don, in Bull Head-court, Newgate-street, of sel. worth of haber dashery goods, in Feb. last. In addition to the evidence already given, Mr. Jones said, that recollecting that he saw the prisoner at the house of Mks Lesney, at High Wycomb, he, by her representa tion, packed up the goods she ordered, put them into the coach himself, and handed the prisoner into it. It was the Birmingham coach, and set out from the Bull and Mouth. Miss Lesney ap peared in Court, and swore she never received the goods, nor saw the prisoner for two years past. A clerk belonging to Mr. Jones said, he saw the prisoner a few days ago ordering goods at Mr. Inglehy's, where she went by the name of Way, and where, when he took her into custody, she confessed the fraud, and mentioned the names of the pawnbrokers where she had pledged the goods. Mr. Thompson, a pawnbroker of Chelsea, then produced a great quantity of property pawned by the prisoner with him. Mr. Har rison of Bloomsbury, and Mr. Kimber, of Knightsbridge, pro duced property pledged with them. In her defence the prisoner acknowledged her offences, but said she had been persuaded to tommit these frauds by a man named Hawkins, whom she lived with—and ilm Palmer, for uttering a conterfeit 7s. piece, knowing it to be false and counterfeit. And thirteen were acquitted, viz. R. Runton, J. Wilding, P. Strange, Elizabeth Martin, alias Margood, Ann Johnson, M. Miller, Elizabeth Seam's, T. Hodges, J. Coleman, J. Bartlett, Elizabeth Aldridge, alias Simmons, Eli zabeth Fitzgert.ld, and Elizabeth Dalton. Yesterday nineteen prisoners were tried, one of whom was ca pitally convicted, viz. Shepherd, for assaulting G. Goddard on the highway, and taking from his person a alive' watch, a great coat, and two pounds seven shillings. D. and T. Braley, father and son, John How•r, and .TerAm Hart cue, were indicted for feloniously counterfeiting the coin of the King of Prussia. . . About three months ago the prisoners took a house in King street, Clerkenwell , they had not been long in it before their next door neighbour, from the noise he heard, had no doubt they were coining. The pat ish officer being informed of it, he com municated the circumstance to the Magistrates of Worship-street, who sent several officers to search the house, when they found a quantity of coin resembling Prussian coin, a number of dies, and every implement necessary for carrying on the business. The prisoners called several witnesses, who gave them a good character, but the Jury found them all Guilty. The following were also convicted of ft lonics, Viz. Hannah Vessey and Margaret Shipley, for stealing a shirt, and other articles, the property of G. G. Stibbs ; John Tatnell, for stealing two pieces of 'sheeting, the property of J. Butts ; I. Dal; ton, for stealing a copper, the property of S. Newth ; Matilda Snowswell, for stealing a cloak, a gown, Ste. the property of C. Townsend; C. Murphy, for stealing a boiler, the property of J. Wheeler ; P. Lill, for stealing a pair ofpantaloons, the property of W. Ward ; W. Davey, for stealing a quantity of boards, the property of G. Marsden ; T. Watkins, for stealing a door hanelle, the property of T. Litdewond ; Elizabeth Caviar, for stealing two sheets, the property of T. Harrison ; and . . Four wereac qui tted, viz. J. Rogers, IL Martin, Ann Johnson, and W. Moore, a Serjeant in the Gua rds, who was indicted for altering a receipt, with intent to defraud his Majesty. The pri soner had the care of the Military Chapel, in Tothill-street, West minster, and usually paid small - bills on account thereof. Some time in the year 1805, Matthew Beecher delivered in a bill for glaziers work, amounting to 125. 6d. and was paid the amount on the tith November, which the prisontrialtered to IL 12s. 6d.— Beecher, the only witness, was called, but he could not positively swear that the bill or the sum were altered. The prisoner was acquitted, but remanded to take his trial next Sessions for a con spiracy to dc fraud his Majesty. On Saturday lierry . Woo4ford, the celebrated pick pocket, whose comm i tment from Bow-street, as a rogue and vagabond, we lately announced, appealed at the Middlesex Sessions against his conviction, when, after Mr. GuttNKr had been heard at considerable length in his behalf, the conviction was confirmed, and he was sentenced- to six months imprisonment in the House of Correction.

ABSTERGENT LOTION. For Removing Obstructions from the Surface of the Skin. IT is unnecessary to enumerate the advantages re suiting to the constitution of every person, by effectually re moving obstructions from the surface of the skin, awl thereby keeping free and open the innumerable passages and pores through which nature expels all useless or noxious humours from the vital fluid, and which, being obstfucted, are forced back again into the blood, and become the sources of many dangerous diseases. It is ther.fore a matter of much consequence, as well to prevent hurt ful disorders, as for the preservation, ease, comfort, and beauty to persons, (however slightly affected), that they should occa sionally have recourse to the Abstergent Lotion; but raore espe cially it becomes urgently requisite when the effects of obstruction make their appearance, and break out into pimples, redness, car buncles, or other cutaneous eruptions. The Abstergent Lotiun never fails of success with those who give it a fair trial, and as its price evidently :hews that no private emolument is sought for by the proprietor, so also may the Public be convinced that nothing but a certainty of its success could induce Dr. SOLOMON to hazard the good opinion he is honoured with by all ranks, in pre senting then with this Cosmetic, were it not a certain Remedy for Herpetic Complaints in general.

THE Advantage the Public must always derive from regularly educated professional men directing almrat exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never more clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success whieh kw attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraon; dinary cures it has performed. Fur a long series of years, Messrs. CURale. and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's Etrvice, hoe made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their investi gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicinesuperior to mercury in the cure of that complaint ; it is sufficient to observe that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yet it does not in the least injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates thess4tern in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitatesii mann : thus instead of reducing a strung and vigorous consatu don to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only sleet! serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a welt and debilitated one to its natural strev.:th and signer. Number; less instances are on resent record of the superior efficacy defile medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a prefeeea corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an rare , 91 conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the 1113)/e imidious,thoeth not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both test* in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melsuabcly satiety of disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there sif none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state: the unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed toe& rev lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness 33 et render life oppressive. To such persons it most be a consoling rife:, tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings, s tstroeg, manly arid vigorous constitution. • In all cases of debility, deficiency; from whatever cause arising, as well as in every species of venereal inticrion, Messrs.
