THE STATESMAN.. POLICE. • I .llaweiow-notrint..--A question Wliether those datterons vehicles, called Fly Vans. should be considered satin& the meaning of the Act of Parliament as coaches oe waggons, came seder the consideration of his Lordship yesterday. A tradesman attended to request a samosas' against the owner of the Salisbury Fly Van, for neglecting to deliver a parcel in .proper time. A parcel of fish was sent fremSalis bury to the complainant by the Ply Van, which arrived at the Elephant Inn, Fore Street, at 5 o'clock on Wednesdag. morning, but the Woe! Wei not delivered until eight o 'clock on the evening of the time day. In consequence of tbia delay the fith was sPoilea. The complainant submitted that these .vans came within the meaning of the law as coach - is. in4in feet, paid mile duty, and were considered as carriage' by the Stamp Office. As the Act directed that every Innkeeper should deliver every parcel which came by a coach within six hours atter its arrival under a penalty. the complainant submitted that the innkeeper had incurred the penalty by not delivering within that time the parcel *question. He wished to bring the case before the public, that itt, owwers of these caravans might be made aware of their reepon The Chief Clerk referred to the Act, which stated that any parcel arrieing by a " public stage coach or carriage," other than a common' stage waggon, should be delivered within six bones. If the parcel arrived by slid waggon, hours were allowed for the delivery. The Loan MAYOR asked what wee the speed at which the Yen travelled: The Complainant said he anderetood it went at the tate of five miles an hoar, including stoppages. Besides, it went en springs, was drawn by four horses, driven by a man on a box. and had a guard. 'The Loan Havoc I observe too from the bill that it is called a 'fly' van." A Id. Tellraindts.—" Yes, but all the waggons are called • fly' waggons. Thebreawheeled waggons bavefiowa for these 40years." The LORD MOTOR said he considered that the van came within the meaning of . the Act as a public carriage' other Horn a rmomon waggon. He directed that the innkeeper should be summoned to answer the charge, when he might show cause against this construction. tititLIPHALL.—BARTHOLONSW FOR.—The number of prisoners from the fair yesterday consisted in the whole of no more than seven individuals. Of these, three lads. Club*: Groat, Job Millaley, and George Maydeto, all known characters who bad bren detected picking pockets • Whindkerciiiefs, were committed to Newrate for trial. The latter one had experienced a dreadful disappointment; for after having taken a great deal of trouble to get pos session of what he supposed to be a gentleman's pocket. took, with a goad booty to it, drew out a little pocket edition of Johnson's Dictionary, and was taken in the act of lbrowingit from him with much indignation. A fourth fellow, who had taken a handkerchief, was remanded through the non-attendance of the prosecutor. Payne, one of the officers, finding himself no match for , the crow d of -fellows that were larking round Richardson's show booth. took his station up Aloft, to mark his men and take them at his leisure, and shortly afterwards, seising an . advantageous moment, pousced in among a knot of car rier's apprentienhand journeymen, who had been for some time evincing a stronger attachment than &Betsey Woold warrant to the legs of every female going tip the steps to the booth. In this coup de main, lie secured two of the a p p r en tices, Benjamin Collyer and Geo r g e Pa y ne, whom the magistrate, notwithstanding the prayers and entreaties of their mothers and their master, sent to atone for their ateliers in the House of Correction for one week. Against the other prisoner, who was only charged as disorderly, no prosecutor appeared, and he was liberated with a wholesome admonition. Bow STRlET.—Yesterday Darby and M'Carthy, the two men charged with being concerned in plundering Lady Ann Dashwood of plate to a large amount, were finally ex amined. A man, named Howe, was also put to the bar on suspicion of baying been a perticeJ)r eriminis in the rob bery. Darby, the butler, seemed in the same desponding inxte described in our first report ; be did not utter a word during the whole of the investigation. Anethenes attended on behalf of bl'earthy. tbe man charged with pawning the greater part of the plate, and eubniitted on his behalf that no case either of stealing or felonious receiving had been made out against his client. He received the plate from Darby, wit° was Lady Dash wood's butler, and who stated that he had the full authority of her ladyship to raise money upon it , a nd Lad y Ann hail admitted that upon one occasion shelled actnally authorised Darb to pawn some spoons. It was to be observed also, t hat M'Carthy received the proceeds of the plate that he Pledged, in payment of a just demand for goods sold and cellyrreil—nainely, fruit, &c., and not in the way of reward for his share in the transactions. Sir EL BIRNIR asked Lady Dasbwood if she knew of her own knowledge that M'Carthy served her with fruit? Lady Dashwood said she did, but believed she never her self exchanged a word with him. Sir R. Brame said be was constrained to agree in opinion with the Learned Counsel that a case of felony could not be made oat against M'Carthy, and he must, therefore, be admitted an evidence for the crown. M'Carthy was then called from the bar, and stated upon oath that he first became acquainted with Darby about IS months ago. The latter was at that time butler to Lady Dashwood, and witness having obtained leave to serve her Ladyship with fruit, he went to the house generally every day. Hruniformly dealt with Darby, whom be considered as the authorised agent of Lady Dasbwood, and when the account bad mounted up to a considerable sum, he (witness) became pressing for his money, and Darby gave him plate to pawn. Upon every occasion that he did so, witness e x eeee gre it reluctance to engage in such transeetions, but Dar e by always assured him that the plata was to be panned with the entire consent of her Ladyship. General Maitland asked the witness why he did not make his demand, if he bad any, upon Lady Dashwood, and not rely opon the mere assertion of a servant? The Witness said he considered Darby as having full authority to act as he did. tieneial Maitland said Lady Dashwood wished to have itsexplained that no debt was ever contracted with the witness, or any other small dealer, with her knowledge. It was her custom to have the charges put down upon a ;late, and sheiptve money. every morning to one or other of her servants to discharge the accounts of the preceding 14 was eaior to the extreme punctuality of ber Ladyship in this respect that she had on one occasion or dered Darby to pledge some of her plate, although he (General Maitland) could not help wishing that she had applied to him rather than take.such a step. M'Carthy accounted for some of the duplicates being found upon him by saying that sometimes, when lie took daalicates for the plate to Derby, the latter desired him to .'tithe care of them. With respect to the third prisoner, ,Howe, the only evi- dente was, that he had about eighteen months ego pawned souse plite for Darby, but it was rot fortheotntag, and * 'le was discharged. Derb y was full y committed to New ? „gate for trial. John M'Carthy, the man charged with stealing 1601. in . )lank amtes, the property of Mr. Herschel, his master, ..;,at Slough, in Buckinghamshire, was next put to the 11‘ar. John Nix, of Oxford-street,linendraper, proved receiving on the .night of the Ilth of August 3101. note now produc i , en. bat he could not identify the prisoner as the man who paid it. This was proved to be one of the stolen notes. Mr. Ridgway, of Frith-street, Sobo , stated that about ',self past ten on the night of the 11th of August, the pri. seiner purchased a shawl for 311!., and paid fur it with a 101 note now produced, The prisoner sail hi was recommend- ed to him by ?dr. Nix, of Wised-street, where he had just been making some purchases. Convene, the. petreL a tsdated this sluswl.• which be fated wises be apprebe the prisoner's wife. Thisperty lOL mote was also proved to be pan of the stolen pro. Bartlett, the keeper. of Gwent-garden watchbouse, de posed, that the prisoner's wife had been placed Bader his ;care since her apprehension, and on Wednesday morning tsbe Wormed him that she had something on her mind which made her very unhappy, and she wished to commu nicate it to him. She then toll him, that if he went to her aunt's. at No. 2, George's-place, Tower.street, Waterloo road, he would find, in a particular place which she describ ed, an old saucepan, concealed in which were 14 soverelone and a guinea, and in another place 10 sovereigns, 11l of which were the produce of the robbery of Mr. Herschel,— Witness went with Taunton, the officer, to the e place, and fogad the money exactly as described. The prisoner was **red to be fully committed for trial. 111r.lreeda, the clerk, asked Sir R. Birnie if the prisoner lass to be committed to Newgate for trial at the Old Bailey Sessions. tSir L Btents.—Yes, let him go to Newgate. ,This may be regarded as a fortunate circumstance for the pelooner, as he cannot be tried for a capital offence in Mid dlesex. The couversion of the property taking place in Middlesex, he can he tried for grand larceny ; but to be tried capitally for stealing in a dwelling-house, he mnst have been removed to Buckinghamshire, in which county that offence was committed. His wife was afterwards put 10 the bar and discharged. HATTON Gaartax.-oDoestal l , the driver of the hack. may coach No. 294, appeared on summons to answer a com plain preferred by a youth of the name of Smith, for refusing to convey him frail Islington to Lombard Street. Smith stated, that on the night in question the defend ant's coach was the first on the rank, at the stand at the end of Goswell Street Road, and be therefore applied to him. The coachman replied, that his fare was 3s. To this be answered, that he did - not ask him what his tare was, but simply to convey him to Lombard Street, although at the same yme he dia not think him entitled to that sum Coaches replied, " I shan't take you at all," and on being asked why? replied, " Because I am numbered to carry gentlemen, and not such puppies as you." Complainant wishing to have a witness to the coachman's refusal, tailed the watchman, before whom he applied to be taken, when tae coachman answered that he was engaged. In his de fence, Coachee insisted that the applicant, on the night in question. looked any thing bat a gentleman, and that he seemed more likely to want to steal a coat, than to take a coach. The sitting Magistrate, Mr. Servant Seid.on, thought the defence adopted by the prisoner an aggravation of his offence, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 10.. and costs. In answer to a question from the Magistrate, Smith stated, that when be applied for the coach he was dressed in a fustian coatee. Ile had property about him, which in duced him to wish for a coach. M A RLBOROUGH STRZST.—The driver of the hackney coach No. 1,052 appeared to a summons, for extorting more than his fare. Mr. Steele, a gentleman residing in De. vonshire Suet", Queen Square, said that he hired the defendant at Vauxhall Gardens, and took him to his own house, for which he demanded 10s. which Mr. Steele paid him, at the same time cautioning him against taking it. Mr. Ros said this was a very gross case of extortion, as the fare was only 4s. and finest the defendant 20e. and 4s. tied. costa, and to return the overcharge of 61. MA RT.LI•IIONNE OFF I ca. —On Wednesday night, his Grace the Duke of San Lorenzo, the Spanish Arnbassulor, accompanied by another Spanish Nobleman, and his private Secretary, appeared before EDMUND ilittlMlTles, Esq., the presiding Magistrate, in consequence of a Magistrate's warrant having been obtained against him, charging him with having violently assaulted a Mrs. Rebecca LEe, a dress maker, residing in Broad Street, Bolden-square. The Duke took his seat on the Bench, and seemingly did not regard the proceeding with any degree of interest. His Secretary acted as interpreter. Mrs. Lee being sworn, stated she went to the mansion of bis Excellency, in Weyinouthotreet, on Tuesday even ing last. for the purpose of demanding the payment of a hill - of 11. ss. for millinery work done for the Duchess. Having knocked at the door, it was opened by an English servant, named Thomas flame, to whom she said "leave the goodness to tell Abe Duchess that I have called far the small account for which I have so often called, and now beg leave to request that her Grace will settle it, as I un derstand her Excellency is on the eve of leaving England." The servant said it was impossible she could then see her Grace, as the family were at dinner; and almost at the same moment a Spanish servant came from one of the par lours, to whom Hanse gave the message. The Spaniard also said the Duchess could not then be disturbed, and in Spanish requested her to retire. She expostulated, and remarked on the folly of her coming there so often for such a trifling sum; when at the instant the Duke burst from the inflow evidently io a great passion , and with out saying a wor d, seized her by the arms, and shook bey with great violence, and forcibly pushed her along the pas sage, opened the door, and kicked her twice, finally push. ing her into the street, and shutting the door violently,' from %%hid' attack she has since suffered great pain. The two servants stood by, and saw all that passed, but neither of then spoke a word; and if they would now say the truth, they would confirm her statement. The original dealing she had with the Duchess was at the instance of the Duchess of Somerset, who recommended her to her Excellency's patronage. Mr. GRIFFITHS asked her if she bad any witnesses in support of this statement. Mrs. Lee replied, only the Duke's servants. The Magistrate then asked the Duke for his reply to this very serious accusation. His Excellency, with very great fluency and coolness, said in Spanish, that the complainant had several times an noyed the Duchess for this debt, of which she knew no thing; and on Tuesday evening, hearing an altercation and noise in the hall, he went out, and seeing the woman, took her by the arms, and put her outNide the door, with oat any farther violence. He positively said, on his his hour as a nobleman and gentleman, he never kicked the woman. The interpreter then, on the Duke sitting down, intima ted to the Magistrate that there were two servants who he wished might be examined as witnesses. Accordingly, Thomas Hanse, English servant to the Duke, deposed that Mrs. Lee, the complainant, had called three or four times for this amount, and he had been instructed to tell her that the Duchess was quite nuanare of owing any such money, and knew nothing of the transaction • but that it was the debt of a lady's maid who was formerly in her see• vice, who was gone to Paris, and whose address he was in structed to give her ; and when she last called, he said it was a very improper hour to call, as the family were at slinner, and the Duchess could not he disturbed; but she pushed into the ball, and insisted upon going into the parlour, as she was determined to see his Grace. He en deavoured to prevent her, as did also the Spanish servant, aelto was waiting at table, and the noise she then made brought his Excellency ont to see what was the matter, who gently tank her by the shoulder and pushed her out, but used no other violence. Mrs. Lee very warmly here said—" Can you swear he ad not kick use ?" Hanse—" I can ; he only pushed you out of the door i" Mrs. Lee, with greater brat—" You are the servant to his Grace, and you are afraid to swear otherwise." flanee, turning round to her, said—" Madam, t would not itioar fa lse for any Doke; and you have sworn falsely, and are a false woman." Mrs. Lee Slade no repkv to this. Fernand° Neuter Merely corroboitted these's' state- ,ment, end positively swore the Duke did not kick Mrs Lee, who was very violent-in endeavouring to get into the Mrs. Lee now said that the story of the debt being jn curred by a lady's maid was altogether untrue, as the Duchess, on her making one application, sent her down two pair of shoes in liquidation Ober demand, which she then said she could not accept; this, she thought, was a kind of acknowledgment of the debt. Mr. Gaternme, on understanding that this was the ter mination of the case, said Mrs. Lee had acted with great impropriety in going in such a disorderly manner to a No bleman's house and endeavouring to force her way when the family were dining in the parlour. Sbe must I have been perfectly aware that that was not the mode of recovering her money, mod being a subject of E n g land she I must be also %ware that the British laws extended protec tion over the lowest as well as the highest in the realms, and privided an ample mode by civil process for the reco very a her money. As lie had particularly noticed all the evidence, he was of opinion she had behaved with very gross impropriety, and as the defendant was of so distin guished a character, she knew him amid where he was to be found, and consequently could have her remedy by indict ment at the Sessions, therefore he should discharge the warrant. Mrs. Lee, on this decision, in very unegnivoca l terms ex pressed her dissatisfaction, declaring that she would expose the Duke. The Spanish Nobleman, who had not before spoken, then observed, " Madam, your wish is almost anticipated. and as a gentleman seems to take the business down, we hope a correct account will be given in the journals." The warrant being then discharged, the Duke hewed to the Magistrate and withdrew, his Secrctiry paying the usual discharge fee of one shilling. Mrs. Lee walked out of a doer in another direction, declaring, in an under tone, that the Spanish Nobleman should have the full benefit of his wish, and the Duchess of San Lorenzo that of the civil law. LtNIUKTE..STREET.—Yesterday, James Sims, a decent look• big elderly man, was examined before Sir DANIS!. WILLI Alas, and MATT LW WYATT. Esq.. charged with robbing the Hon, Fast India Company of a quantity of tea.—lle was commi.ted for trial. MURDER OF MR. MMITM. Yeiterday the town of Ureenwich was a scene of the greatest bosttr, in consequence of the re-rxiimination of Thomas Timothy, and the apprehension of James Webster, another of Coleman's accomplices in the murder of the above gentleman. The investigation took place in the office of Mr. Dicestexx. the Clerk to the Magistrates in London-street, and the greatest privacy was observed throughout the proceedure. After Timothy's examination on Tuesday last (from cir cumstances which are at present withheld), a warrant was granted for the apprehension of Webster, who, it will be re membered, was one of the men, amongst others, named by Coleman in his confession in Maidstone Gaol. This Webster, soon after the murder was perpetrated, was arrested on sus picion of being one of the murderers, but for want of sufii cient evidence he was set at liberty, and has been at large ever since. It bring well known that Webster used the Noah's Ark, Deptford, Bowditch the constable kept watch for him at night, and about seven o'clock on Wednesday morning he saw him enter the house. and thereupon seized him upon the charge al- leged in the warrant. When taken, he appeared to be un daunted, and exclaimed, " What am I wanted again." When brought before the Magistrates, the evidence of Conley and his wife, Whittle, foreman in the Patent .Suip builders at Deptford, Anne White (alias Swedish Hannah), and Ann Steele (who lived with Coleman), was adduced, after which Ti.nothy, the prisoner, was interrogated fur nearly two hour+, in private, and from what we could learn, he made a full confession against Webster and one or two others. The prisoner, Webster. was then brought into the presence of the Magistrate, and the testimony of tne various witnesses were read over to him, and he was ask.d what he had to say in his defence, the Magistrate cautioning hire to beware, lest he should criminate himself. Webster pretested his innocence of the crime, and was ready to meet any consequences that might betel him. lle was then fully committed to take his trial for the murder. And Timothy seas again remanded. A poor woman of interesting appearance was brought up charged by her husband with creating a disturbance about his prenilses. The husband stated that his wife had come several times to his house. and gathered a snob about him: she repeated this on Wednesday, sod he gave her in harge to the headbo- rough. The poor woman then stated in her defence. that she was married to the complainantewheo she was only 14, years of age; some thee afterwards he enlisted for a soldier, and deserted ; when he was retaken she pawned her goods, and scraped 22 guineas together to get him released ; they then lived toge- ther, but he used to take all her little property away, and sell it, as well as her poor mother's ; and having had three chil dren by him, who were in the office, he left her and took up with another woman, who compelled the children to call her mother. She declared she had not had any support from him for six years. Sir D. WILLIAMS Censured the hesdborough for taking the woman into custody ; and having reprobated the bushand's profligate conduct, advised the wife to appeal to the parish, who would see justice done to her. QUEEN S Q UARE.—Yestertlay John Daniel, driver of the hackney coach No. 129, attended at this office to prefer a charge against -- lludson, Esq. of 6. Park Crescent, Portland Place, for having refused to pay him his fare. The defendant's footman attended in his absence. The prosecutor stated, that on Tuesday evening last, be was called aids stand by the footman, who ordered him to his master's house. O n . his arrival he took Mr. Hudson, &c. and was ordered to drive to the Haymarket theatre, where they alighted, and the footman requested witness to be at the theatre by 11 o'clock, in order to drive his wastes back to his residence, which be promised to do, and remained near to she theatre until that time struck: again he took up Mr. Hudson, and the footman rode on the box. It was not not until he had nearly finished his fare, that the footman mentioned any thing about charge, and when he was told by witness that 14s, 6d. was his legal fare according to the time, he felt surprised, and said his master would be very angry, as he had no idea of the coach waiting until the per formance was over, and on being refused payment of 14s. 6d. he took out the summons. The footman who hired the coach here banded in a letter, written by his master, saying, that it was his impression that the coachman was not warranted in demanding any more than his fare from his house and back again. The coachman said he was sure he was correct in his de mend. He received orders to be at the theatre at a certain hour, and if, be had taken another fare, and it should have happened that he was too late, the footman having taken his number, he would be liable to putfishment. He could bring proof that he remained on the spot until 11 o'clock. The footman denied that be told him to remain there, lie merely requested him so be there at 11. Mr. Rat:throats, the Magistrate, concurred with the coachman that lie would be liable to punishtnent if he had not been there , by the time appointed, and considered him entitled to what he cbarged,i fair:ming to the footman that it was his duty to have explained to the prosecutor when he requested his attendance. He ordered the fare to be paid with costs. UNION HALL.—..AUGUSTINM LAVIONM.--abiS French woman, whose statement before Mr. Chamberi appeared in our police account on Tusday last, was brought up yes terday before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. under the following rte. cumstances:-1 t appeared that on her leasing this office with the letter which Mr. Chambers had written in her behalf, to the Rev. Mr. Jolliffe, for a free passage to Calais, she went to the overseers of Christchurch, in n hich parish she lodged, told them she was going to her own countiy, and entreated their assistance in redeeming some of leer olotbes, which were in pleslgT.The overseer:as:ld her clothes redeemed and restored to her, aad supplied her with new shots and stockings. Birch, the beadle, was then sent with 147. Chambers's letter to Mr. Jollitfe, who at once con. plied with the request contained in it, and yesterday morn. ing, it nine o'clock, Madame Lavigne was ordered to hold herself in readiness to embark for Calais on board the Ear} of Liverpool steam packet. She was conducted to the Tower Stairs by Birch, who bad instructions to supply her with sea-store, and also to give her 7s. The moment that sem was presented to her, she tossed up her head scornfully and vowed she would not quit English ground if the beadle woul 1 not give her a sovereign tfi addition. The beadle endeavoured to get her on board, hot she resisted, and declared she would not stir until her demand was complied with ; and in consequence of her violent gestnres anti language, collected a mob around her. Birch, finding entreaties useless, proeeeded to conduct her hack again bs fore the Magistrates, and on the way thither she escaped from him in the Borough market, bet soon afterwards hd discnvered her retreat at an egg merchant's shop, where she was entertaining her countryman with a lively description of the boat she had played off on the English. It was not without some didiculty that she was re-conducted to the office. The ()veneers of Christchurch Parish confirmed this statement. Birch said he was not a little serprised to hear the lady speak to him in the only language be understood as he brought her along. Mr. A t.Lcst asked her whether she could speak English, after this evidence. She replied that she knew not a word of the language. He then said she should have a taste of the tread null. " Tread mill, tread mill," said she; " Je n'enteld psi Monsieur." Madame Lavigne was then committed for a month to bard labour at Brixton. A man named Michael Kelly, who resides at No. 2, [lonely Street, was brought up on a warr,w, and charged with having commited a must brutal assault trellis wife and daughter. Cecilia Hall, a young woman of respectable appearance, stated that she was the danebter of the prisoner, whom she described as a person of the most violent and ungovern. able temper, and that in the afternoon of the precutting day her fattier missed a few pence, and charged his youngest daughter, a girl about fifteen years of age, with having taken it from his pocket. The poor girl denied the truth of the accusation, and he swore that lie would murder her if the halfpence were not instantly restored to him. The girl, to prevent had consequences, wen: into witness's room, and her father followed her with a tirge stick, with which he aimed a blow at her head. Witness held up her hand to protect the girl, and received a desyrate blow. The poor mother hearing the cries of her children, ran up stairs, and endeavoured to prevent further violence, but the de fendant immediately knocked bet down, and broke three of her ribs, and she was now unable to attend, in couse (pence of the dreadful injuries she received, The Magistrate expressed his surprise and disgust at such brutal conduct, and said he would nut accept of bail for the prisoner until his wife shculd be recovered sulE •ntly to sr •at the orrice. ippear SHOCKINO ACClDlENT.—•%esterday morning, about sere■ o'clock, a paviour, who was at work in Kiropstreet, Co. vent-garden, was killed in a moment.

Thy house, and (iii the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wire. SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marritge, so el 0 raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wires, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed. that Ow word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name's Attire. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with hap piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to hanuonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from these impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure msy have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are attributable, many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the hody—a residence 'a the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com promise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the clime of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offer* hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity : nor will ow advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which caucentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often cOnstitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic. intrusion, as well as in every valuation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empiric from the position so presumPro• ously taken up, we deviate from general principles less hesitation; and confident in our own honourable inte grity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer tlir suffering community of either Sex (especially those entr ing into matrimonial life) at once to our houses, where deny attendance Is given for personal consultation ; and letters from the country are immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which csa be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.
