FROM ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MAY 1. Ritract o f a Letter from Captain Worth, aids Majesty's Sloop Helena, to Vice-Admiral Whitshed, dated at Sea the 19th of April 1810, and transmitted by the Admiral to John Wilson Creker, Esq. I have to acquaint you, that his Majesty's sloop under my command gave duce to a sail seen at day light, which continued until nine o'clock at night ; then, after firing a few guns, she surrendered, and proved to be the brig Grand Napoleon, of Nantz ; she sailed from thence on the 13th ult. manned with one hundred and twenty-four men, armed with 16 guns, viz. twelve eighteen-pounder carroaades (Eng lish), and four long guns. She is the most complete appointed French cruizer I have ever seen : is two hundred and eighty tons, and three months old. Copy of a Letter from Lieutenant Richard Welsh, commanding his Majesty's Cutter Surly, addressed to Rear Admiral D'Au vergne, Prince of Bouillon, Commander in Chief at Guern sey, and transmitted by the latter to Tohn Wilson Creker, Esq. His Majesty's cutter Surly, Gaanvilleßay, April 21, 1810, Sir—l have the honour to inforti you, that yester day at noon a sail was seen from thy deck, steering along the enemy's coast ; we immediately slipped in chace, in company wtth his Majesty's gun brigs Firm and Sharpshooter ; at four P. M. she ran on shore in the mouth of Pirou ; the boats manned and armed were sent in to bring her out, which was gallantly done by Sub-Lieutenant Hodgkins, who commanded the boats, he having run an anchor out under a heavy fire of musketry from the troops and crew of the ves sel, and hove her off from the beach'; she proves to be l'Alcide French cutter privateer, mounted four 4- pounders, which were thrown overboard in the chace, and from the number of men who went from her with muskets, &c. I concluded her crew to be thirty. I beg leave to recommend to your notice, Sub- Lieutenant Hodgkins, of the Firm, and Mr. Lagaw, SecOnd Master of the Sharpshooter, for their steady perseverance and determined conduct in bringing her out from off the beach, under such a heavy fire of musketry from upwards of 400 troops. I am sorry to add that we had one man killed and one wounded in this little affair, as per margin *. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) R. WELSH, Lieut. and Corn. FIRM.

The Thanks of the Court were voted to the Bishop of OXFORD, and Arch. deacon ILLmowonzu, for their Sermon:. at Christ- Church, on Easter Monday and Tuesday. Courts of Conservancy were appointed for Surrey and Mid ' dlesex, on the 15th, and for Essex and Kent, on the 21st of June. The Billingsgate Dues were settled the same as last year. The first Court in June, was appointed, for the Election of Rulers of the Water mens' Company, and Beadles of the Court of Re quests. Several persons were sworn as Brokers ; and a quantity of gOld, sworn to as fr.eign, for ex portation. hic ifdrAL diCiDkaht Oa"' • kiilBl/10N--MDCcoC. eardidayere.--J. W; CHILDE.-,We merely notice this picture to state that subjects of this kind, unless drawn with extzeme accuracy, well coloured, and highly finished, are seldom attractive objects in an Exhibition. It may, however, sometimes happen, that a masterly sketch may display many of the finer touches which are not to be found in the most la boured productions ; but in contemplating the sub ject before us, we are at a loss to conceive how it ob tained a place where it is, and that at a time when we are told Wilkie, who is not this year an Exhibitor, was persuaded to withdraw the only picture he sent, because it was too slight"! 11. Cattle in a Storm.—J. WARD, A.—Mr. Ward, with th i n freedom which his pictures of brute nature form4y possessed, has lost even the accuracy of de lineation for which they were deserving of particular notice, even during the life of his master and friend, G. Morland. He now aims, forscipth, at sublimity : the Rubens of a pig-stye--the Salvator Rosa of a farm-yard We really wish him to descend from his Bucephalus, of which he has so imprudently un dertaken the management.; and calmly, on kot, as heretofore, contemplate the beauties of simple nature. She will lead him to Truth, from which he is now suffering himself to be hurried away by an Ignir Fatuue. 17. A Charger in a Skirmish, without hit Rider.— Sir F. BOURGEOIS, R. A.—Now here is a subject in which, Though a study of mere brute nature, subli mity is admissible. With something too much of that flutter and dislocation of parts, peculiar to the stile of the Artist, we have an animated representa tion of a noble animal, yet more enobled by his situ ation. It is a very spirited, and brilliantly coloured II picture. 32. Portrait of Lord Grenville.—T. PHILLIPS, R.A. —His Lordship is here represented in his academical robes, as Chancellor of the University of Oxford. The likeness is admirable, but the colouring we con sider of rather too ruddy an hue, increased, perhaps, by the prevalence of black in the drapery. The face appears to have been touched up since the picture was placed where it now hangs ; and not having been subsequently varnished, it is seen to a disadvantage in some points of view. It is, however, one of the best portraits in the Exhibition. thoox-Rarl..—lt will be recollected, that some time past Lieutenant JOHNSTON was found murdered in the Kent-road, near the. Five Bells, and that several persons were apprehended on suspicion, but nothing appeared to justify their detention. Collingbourn, the officer, yesterday received information, that a woman, named Bateman, who resides in a court near Warren lane, Woolwich, and who, with her husband, occasi onally get their living by carting coals and bricks, has been heard to say to her husband-4 , You villain you know you made me drive the cart on, while you and Smith (who is a prisoner for felony in Maidstone gaol) got out and murdered poor Lieut. Johnston." On receiving this information, Collingbonrn, Goff, and Wortley apprehended them, Lnd brought them before the Magistrates at the above Ace, who have detained them till further inquiry can be made. Bow-STREET.—Monday T. Hardwick, in custody on suspicion of being one of the robbers who broke open the shop of Mr. Custard, its Bedford -street, and stole woollen cloths to the amount of £llOO, was brought to. this Office, for further examination.— W. Blackman, a constable belonging to the parish of St. Pancras, said, that, on the morning of the rob bery, he went to Covent-garden Market, for the pur pose of serving a warrant. About five o'clock. he met the prisoner at a public-house, in Covent-garden Market, and, knowing him, they had a quartern of gin. After which, two strange men entered into conversation with him, which ended in a dispute. It was supposed to have been a planned affair, to keep him in the house, as it was only a few yards from Mr. Gustard's house. Lavender, the Officer, who apprehended the prisoner, said, he had been to the widow of Madox, who was executed for the robbery last Wednesday, on the afternoon of that day, to re quest her to attend ; but she had declined, on ac count of ill health. He was committed for re-exa mination. On Saturday evening, as one of 60 Bow-street horse-patrole was riding over Blackheath, he heard a voice calling out, « Pull up, d— your eyes, stop," &c. He rode towards the part, when he overtook a post-chaise, in which were a gentleman, two ladies, and a little girl, who had been robbed ; they inform ed him the way the highwayman had taken, when he pursued him, and came up with a man on horseback, whom he took into custody, and, on searching him, and not finding any thing particular, he was per suaded he had thrown something away. It being then very dark, it was impossible to ascertain the exact spot, until the following morning; he, therefore, left his stick on it, and conveyed the highwayman to London. Early on the following morning, he went to the place, and found a loaded pistol. On Monday evening the highwayman underwent an examination, when the driver of the chain said he was confident the prisoner was the man who robbed the passengers. He said his name was Chad:, Brown, an d was com mitted for further examination. GUILDHALL—Monday Phi/lifts was fully committed, chargeck with stealing a watch from J. Boulonger, a copper-plate printer. The complainant was returning home on Sunday night, when the pri soner and another man hustled him in Barbican, and drew out his watch. A young man instantly gave the alarm, and the prisoner was secured, after he had given the watch to his companion, who carried it away. Monday night as Mr. Fortescue, of Tower.street, was passing up Norton Falgate, in a chaise, it was overturned by running foul of a coach, whereby Mr. Fortescue was severely hurt. A few days ago an assistant in the shop of a drug gist, in Bristol, putting up over head a large bottle of ether, spilt it upon his clothes • and, being alarmed, called out to his companion, Who, not aware of the danger, came with a candle in his hand, to see what was the matter, when the vapour caught fire, and, in an instant, he was enveloped in flames. In this situa tion he ran into the street, where a gentleman wrapped his great-coat - round him and smothered the flames, but he was considerably scorched in his face, neck, ' and hands. L4Il !kTELLLC2NCE. :OURT OF COMMON PLEAS, mAy [ADJOURNED SITTING.] DALTON V. OILLRIPIE. This was action on a policy of insurance on t h e ship Laura, a collier, in a voiage from North Shim s to London. From the evidence of a Mr. Graham, * master's mate on board a ship of war, who c on k hi s passage in the vessel from Shields to London, it ap. peared, that off Cromer, about half-past eight in the morning, the vessel sprung a leak, between the butt. ends and the stern, which gaited ground very ra. pidly. That at 10 A. M. being off Winterton, th e y made the signal of distress, on which a boat came off from that place, and the crew of it assisted the ship. s crew to keep the pumps going. The wind was f a i r for Yarmouth, and the tide also. The Wiater on boatmen advised laying the ship on the Cockle Sand, as then part of the materials might be saved ; but t h e Captain and the witness thought it more advisable t endeavour to make Yarmouth haven ; the leak, kw. ever, gained so fast, that when about three miles from the haven the vessel sunk in deep water. Nv :: . ness could no otherwise account for so sudden a leak in that particular place, but by saying, that the butts ends were rotten. Several other witnesses wt.,' cu. mined in behalf of the plaintiff, who all deposed to the same effect. _ Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, attempted to set up the defence of fraud on the part cf the plaintiff (who was owner as well as master of the vessel) ; or of the ship's not being sea-worthy ; the first, on the ground of certain letters written by die pliintift Ivrn. self to various persons, containing contradictor) ar. counts of the vessel's loss ; but those letters, u:im the Learned Serjeant came to produce them, could. not be found, although it was sworn that his client had got them, and had not returned them all. The other defence was merely founded on the latter pa r t of the evidence of Mr. GRAHAM. The Jury, there fore, found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages set. tled between the parties. BIRTHS.

T HE Advantage the Public must always derive from regularly educated professional men directing almost esdusively their studies to one species of malady, was never more clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has attended the administration of their new remedy, and the eat taut dluary cures It has performed. For a long series of years Me%b rg• CultalL and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have made the Venereal Disease the !Articular object of their investi gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to mercury, in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe, that the effects of this remedy are diametritally opposite to those of mercury, for though it eompletely eraeicates every vestig e of the virus, in its most con fi rmed stages, yet It does not in thekatt injure the corAitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the system in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates ills gestion ; thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constini tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores weak and debilitated one to its natural strer.gth and vigour. Number less instances are on rezent record of the superior efficacy of this medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual corrective to bodily d b ility, whether proceediug from an excess of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the more insidioin though not less destructive, indulgence orincautious youth of b oth sexes in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are none mere cting than that distressing state of debility and de ficienty which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek to until he is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling refec tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of trtatment r be restored to that greatest of all huinenblessings, a str In manl and vigorous constitution. all case s of debility, deficiency, from whatever cause arising, as well as in every species of venereal infection, Isle.srs.
