I have frequently attended patients with spinal complaints. 1 saw Mr. Gibbs for the first tillle in March. 1 Cl3lllilled the back, but not minutely. 1 observed a thickening in the cellular mewurane, where 3 1 r. Gibbs complained. I observed that the symptoms might have arisen front the treatment that had been adopted. We traced the course of the spine without difficulty, and there appeared to be a deviation from the natural state. I'here was no local treatment going on then, the seams and issues were healed. Gibbs's pulse was quickened, and be was evidently under excitement.

I saw hint again on the teat August, and percent - it no change excepting that the calf of the leg was smaller. 1 consider rest &b. solutely necessary in spinal complaints. Motion must be injurious, particularly in the inflammatory stage. It would be very impru dent in a person in that state to go out in a gig or carriage of any sort. It must occasion a great increase of inffiumnatury symptoms. I an t o r opinion that a long continued irritation would produce greater deterioration than 1 observed in Gibbs. I refer the thicken. tog of t h e cellular membrane to the regimen that had been adopted, and which might have been governed by the symptoms that made their appearance to the practitioners who that saw 111 r. Gibbs. The pains which lie fclt might have been produced by other causes than that to which they have been at trl.buttal. Mr. ',rutty sworn.-1 have been thirty rears practising surgery. I saw Gibbs in March, and found the spinous processes perfectly sound. 1 found a thickening in the ligaments albs back, which I attributed to surgical treatment. I consitkred the symptoms in the same light as the last witness upon my second visit. llr.

Nothing occurred when we went out but the trotting I have mentioned, to give uneasiness to Gibbs. Mr. Sergeant 11'II.DC with great clnquenee replied, and Mr. Baron ti Mallow summed up at great length.

Mr. Alderman Swir it inquired if the prisoner had been guilty of such miscooduct benne.

A few days since, 11l e.Gew - ge Flesain-, the gentleman who made such a noise at Itow.atreet, last week, 7.4:1 who so much excited the limn:why of Sir It.

They stated that they picked him up in the Street, anti on their way to the watch-house lie said his name was Sir John Phibba. When they were leaving him in the watch.house, they desired Sir JJohn to examine his pockets and see if ell was right , before they ant away. Sir John had no inclination to comply with the wishes of the gentlemen, but they insisted, and Alr. Jackson, . 1" the night constable, assisted in the office of searching and took from one of his ;sockets a note directed to Mr. Fleming, trout • I friend, (' aptain P., which stated that the writer, Captain P., had complied with Mr. Fleming's request, and sent him Ins., its. of which was also in his pi eket 't the time the gentleman left him, abet on his recovery trout the state he was in, Mr. Jackson desired him to go about his business, but this he refused, raying he should be brought before die magistrates, for whom he said lie had a great respect (no doubt, they tree: him so kindly), saying, at the same time, he was a near relathas of Mr. Dation, one of the officers of this office. In consequence of this representation, Mr. Jackson paid ' him every attention during the night, and in the morning advised him to go about his business, but it was all to no purpose—be would ante before the 3legistmte. He was accordingly brought to the office. The moment Patron saw him, he immediately recog. nized hint, not as a friend, but as a person who had some time back lodged with a niece of his, at Poplar, who had much more reason lo regret his want of principle, than Sir Richard or Mr. Rich. mud. After an admonition from the Magistrate (Sir Daniel Williams), Mr. Finning mounted his white hat, and left the office.

A gardener of Kennington deposed to certain fruit brought to hint for sale by the prisoner, and the suspicions he entertained. 'I he witness then called Dunne, his neighbour, to assist him in bringing the prisoner to Union (lull. The prisoner requested that be would not tanpley another man for this purpose, but this was Dot acceded to. On the road thither the prisoher made many es. tun in order to be r emitted to go into the public-houses on the goad, but this was refused; arid ou his arrival at the office, he was searched in the presence of twe constables, nil the charger con. taining die shot and slugs, together with die other articles, fouled on his person. Thomas I)unne. the person who assisted in bringing up the pd., soner, corroborated the latter part of the last witness's statement. Miamian and Elmes, constehles„ stated, that when the prisoner was h a nd e d ove r ill them by the two last witnesses. they put him into the privy, where he said he wished to go. It was afterwards I mentioned to them that stone slogs, shot, and powder, were found in his possession, when it occurred to them that he had a pistol or some other weapon concealed on his person. They asked him the question, but lie denied it ; and they proceeded to search the hole of the privy, rhea the pistol (now produced) was found. The 31agistran ordered the pistol la large cavalry one) to be unloaded, when it was found to contain a heavy charge of powder, slugs, and some round pebble stones. Mr. ALLett litre ',batted. that it was his duty to put some questions to the prisoner. which he was not bound to answer it' lie pleased. At the same time, he (the 31agistratet must caution him that whatever he now said would be used as evidence against hits' at a future period. The Magistrate then desired him to state who and what he was. The prisoner gave a very confused and unsatisfactory account of himself.

CORONER'S INQUEST. at k ai On Wednesday ternoon an Inquest was held at the White Bear, New E wend. before TUOYA ,,, beim.' siG, Esti. Coroner, on the ' cof Harriet Dowley. a child seventeen months old, who cam.: to her death under the following circumstances:— It was generally reported throughout the neighbourhood of Hampstead and Highgate. that the deceased had been used in the most cruel manner by its nurse, who, it was said, starved it to death, and the interest excited was so very great, that lung before the arrival of the Coroner the Jury room was filled, and crowds of persons assembled near the house. Henry Cowley. the father of the child, deposed, that the de. ceased was about seventeen months old, and had been in a sickly condition ever sin.:e its birth. The mother who was of a con. su mptive habit, died about five weeks ago. D uring her illness the child was suckled by another woman, but it gradually became worse, and at length it was deemed necessary to place It at nurse with a woman IMMO" Mary Davies, of Hampstead, who was a woman with several children of her own. The deceisetl had been with her during the last five weeks, and she was paid 7s. per week for nursing it, &c. Witness called to sec the child two or three qnies a week, and never had any rearm to suppose that it had been ill-treated by Mrs. Davies: but he heard reports that she hail tier glected it, and had left it without food, Sic. fur hours. Mrs. Davies had frequently said to witness that she would rather be without the child, and requested him to place it at nurse with somebody else, it was so very cross. Witness did not think it necessary to take the child away, as he thought it was well treated. The child died on Saturday last. Witness had no reason to believe otherwise, than that it died a natural death. The nurse had several children of her own, and one illegitimate child since her husband's death, which she suckled while the had the deceased. Mr. Charles Jacobs, surgeon, of Hampstead, deposed, that he had attended the deceased. and knew it from its blab. The mother was a woman of consumptive habit, and died about five weeks ago of that complaint. Dunng her illness, having no milk, the child was suckled by another woman, but its health was not improved, and it was plated under the attention of Mary Davies, and it died on Saturday Last, of a complaint in the bowels. Juryman—Can you judge, from the appearance of the deceased's body, whether it died from starvation ? Mr. Jacobs—Certainly not. The glands of the bowels were af fected- which prevented the decked receiving nourishment from its (food, and consequently its person would exhibit a reduced ap pearance, although every care might have been taken of it. Con sumptive mothers were likely to produce consumptive children, and witness had no reason to believe that the child died from ill. treatment.. • Two women named Pearce were then sent for and examined, they, according to the beadle, being the causes of all the " bobber) , " p that had been raised. Their evidence was remarkable only for pert folly, and did not in the slightest degree make out any cluer:N ', against Mrs. Davies. The Jury then proceeded to view the body. On their return, the ' Coroner and Jury being convinced that the reports prejudicial to , Mary Davies originated in jealousy, returned a verdict of--" Died by the visitation of God." AIIIPLMITION Or 7'llE HIP-JOINT. An instance of the successful performance of this dreadful ope. ration, and the complete recovery of the patient (a thing hitherto almost unprecedented in this country), has lately occurred, not far from this place—at Whom in Leicestershire. The following are POCK of the particulate of the cam ; which. as well with respect to the degree of wretchedness from which the poor fellow has been rescued, the desperate nature of the means necessarily resorted to, aid the success which has attended them, has seldom ire believe been surpassed in the annals of surgery, and affords, altogether, one or the best instances of the triumph of that noble art over disease and misery we ever recollect to have heard of. The subject is a poor man, a stocking maker, about five and twenty (with a young family), a patient of Mr. J. Orton's, of Kegworth. Ile had been suffering many months frem a disease of the knee joint ; in the course of which, the bones forrnirg It became affected, and the structure of the joint thereby destreyed, producing a partial dis-, location of the knee. The thigh bone higher up was next affected, and became ultimately diseased throughout almost its whole ex. tent, giving rise to various collections of matter along the fleshy parts of the thigh, which extended from the knee to beyond the hip-joint, end discharged very offensively. In this state he lay, confined to his bed, fur more than siz months. In April last the thigh bone became see decayed in the middle, that it broke in two as he lay in bed ; and the limb being distorted by.eyasni, the rough ends of the bone were thntst against the skin, and ulti mately protruded through. During this long course of disease and suffering his general health became gr-iitly injured, and he was reduced almost to a skeleton. The ease was now considered quite hopeless, not only by the patient and his friends , but also by several experienced surgeons who happened about this time to become acquainted with the case. As soon as he had given con-1 sent a consultation wan called to consider on the practicability of an operation ; when was agreed that nothing short of the entire separation of the diseased limb from the body, at the hip joint, would be likely to afford any chance of success. But, the real state of the case, together with the formidableness and extreme hazard of such an °Pennies. being fairly and candidly explained :to him, it will not Ins wandered at that the poor fellow chose rather to die as he was than submit to It. The surganin attending hint, hew - ever, still ofered to do it ; and thus to rive him that only cher,ce for his life which remained, whenever hs, fully aware as be was of the danger thereof, might resolve to undergo it. And what will not constant pain do More than six weeks elapsed from the fracture of the thigh bone to the time of its removal, 1 during which time he lay oftentimes actually soaked in the discharge. An ulmation of the back too, which had commenced some time I before, *as now in a ewe of rapid 7rogressio n, from his not being able to change his pesition ; and, so painful was the least attempt at moving bun, for any, even the most necessary purposes, that bis Mends could only be prevailed upon to have the back dressed three times in the six weeks. At length, worn oat by disease, and with death staring him in the face, he not only consented, but particularly requested that the operation might be done. Under these circumstances it was promptly under,aken ; and (hawing obtained the aid of Alr. Oldknow, of Nottingham, and seven' other pmfessional friends, on whose skill and experience In operative surgery he could rely for tho necessary assistance on the occasion), was ultimately accomplished by Mr. J. Orton, about three months since. shall not horrify our readers by attempt. ing to describe the operation itself ; suffice it to tar. that notwith. standing an alarming attack of bowel disease, which occurred shortly afteriards ; notwithstanding the existence of sinuses which, from their extending beyond the hip-joint, could not be removed by the operation, together with the dreadful state of the hack, Where, from the ulceration sbove.mentioned, two of the bones of the back became exposed and standing several other intfavoui. the shattered state of his gene/. and that the young man, with th body, is now able to get about cc gaining strength and spirits, and enjoying as good health as he several yens.—Derby 3krerr, DI Cl the back became exposed and partially decayed; and, notwith- DIED. t ",.

On Monday the July Coms ail Assize Cent was o pened atMcc. tcgo.bsy, before his Honour the Chief Justice. Lewis A. Ding was put to the bar, charged with the wilful Incr. der of George Hopkins, at Lucca, on the 2d of last month. Mr. David Moor' sworn.—On the day laid in the indictmert, witness, with several others, was examining prisoner's dagger the being then on duty as Secretary to the Hanoverian Tmopi and al. terwards returned it to hint, when Hopkins came on and elehiewe, •• What's that you say ?" Heard a blow as if a fist, and US ciao toner's hand coming from tleceased'a breast—did nut tee hint gms. Deceased said, " cry well." Dagger was not bloody. Mr. Pratt was also in Mr. 31unru's piazza examining Bine!s dagger, when Hopkins CAMS up. in a passion, and seil‘d phone, saying, •• What message is that you sent me?' Prisoner thes struck him, saying, This is the third time you have insulted me tu.dsy." Did not see the dagger. Three other witnesses gave similar testimony, and Mr. Clarke proved a quarrel two hours previous, when prisoner was assaulted by deceased. Dr. Johnson went into II opkins's house, and saw him on the floor; the wound did not at first appear te be dangerous, It: be died in twenty minutes after. Upon raising the heart, a large ( t at. city of clotted blood was found; .he lungs were not wounded ; the dirk had penetrated near the base of the heart; witness was of ups nion that the wound caused his death. Mr. 'lumen made a most eloquent and pathetic appeal to the Jury, urging the irritated feelings which must poem a man. re peatedly insulted during the day this unfortunate event took pa, and being again assaulted when doing the duty of the country-- that % having the weapon in his hand at the time, and nut seeking for it, he trusted they would view it as a case of justifiable Lutz. ride. All the witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character u a tnild inoffensive man ; many of thetu represented the c h aser: et the deceased to have been completely the reverse. After which, his Honour, the CH IE Z JUSTICE, summed ep ic a most luminous innar.er. leaving the case in the hands of tht Jury, who retired a few ininutes, and returned a verdict of slaughter." His Honour the Cutter' Jurrzcz passed sentence oa him in • mat impressive manner:— '• You have been tried for the wilful niurderhf George IleVies, but the Jury returned a vcriltct against you only or :Hainau:tar. Though these are offences of a very different nature, it is somtum.% difficult, in the investigation of particular cases, to distineJish tweets them; and, whenever a Jury is placed in that predicament, it is proper to lean to the aide of mercy. Whether the verdict vu consistent with the truth, is a question which must rest sift rem own heart, and with ;hat !king to whom all the secrets oldie Iran are known. lf, when the fatal wound was inflicted you wire actuated either by party malice against the deceased, or bra de prayed and reckless indifference to human life. you hari, rat. withstanding the verdict in your favour, incurred before ti.el and your conscience all the guilt of murder ; if, on the other lard, yes were under the influence of passion, you have still cemented a most atrocious crime. You have, through the mere rashness el your temper, and without the slightest pretext of danger to )cut life or your property. hurried a fellow-mature into the presente of his Creator, with all his sins and all his imperfections upon bur. If you possess any moral sensibility, this awful event will eur It present to your thoughts. We earnestly hope that it may make a proper impression upon you, and induce you to be mar guardtd ' in your future contluct. On this occasion you are mulled toff., benefit of your clergy; but we must warn you that the law will not allow it to yea a second time; and, should you be spa , ca. ' victed of a similar othime, your life will become forfeited to de I offended justice of your country. At present your sentera that you be and stand committed to the common gaol of tha county, without bail or mainprize, Wl' the space of twelve ci.lrr2n months, and that, at the expiration of that rcriod, you b: da• charged." t The Court terminated at one &rink.
