An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of `Self-Preservation , ' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which' in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

The cure they effect is not temporary or imperfect, but they work a most mar vellous and beneficial change throughout the entire body, and enable it with renovated powers to resist the approach of future attacks on stomach or liver.

Gilbert occupies a farm near Newark, at Barnby. Deceased was employed to catch rabbits. About half-past 10 p.m. he was called up, and found Vessey at his house ; from what he said witness went to the gate adjoining the Corporation Close, and found the prisoner Birkett on the other side, on his own land, standing with a gun in his hand. Watmore was lying dead on witness's side of the gate, which was shut—about a yard from the gate, flat on his back, with his head towards the catch end, parallel with the sate. I got over into Bir kett's field by some railings, and said " Oh ! you villain." I seized his gun, and took it away from him; it was double-barrelled; one hammer was down and the other on full cock. I drew the trigger, and the cap alone exploded. I then pitched the gun over the gate into the Corporation field, and got over to look at Watmore's body, which was nearly cold. I told prisoner to go home, and he reeled rather backwards, and I said, " Why, you villain, you're drunk." He said he was not. Pri soner's wife came up, and said he was not. I called her attention to the body, and she went home. I then got over the hedge to ascertain whether he was drunk. I took hold of his collar, but I could not find whether he was drunk by any smell of liquor; he said he wished to explain. I told him he must do so to some one else. I again told him to go home ; that Watmore's brother was coming ; and that if. he came I thought he would kill the prisoner. Prisoner then said, " I want to explain that it was an accident." He then walked away as if he was sober. I waited until the cart came to take away the body, which was conveyed to my farm-house. Mr. Job, the surgeon, was called in. I examined the spot next morning, and found the gun•wad near the gate, and a half wad. I examined the gate also, the catch end of which was all over blocd, and had some flesh on it. I also found the mark of a shot on the lower part of the top bar. (Part of the gate was produced, and the mark pointed out at the bottom of the top bar, near the catch end.) The course of the shot was down wards, so that at the time of the discharge the butt -end must have been raised. (Marks of scorching and powder also appeared, from which the witness inferred that it must have been near at the time). Vessey . pointed out where he and deceased and prisoner stood, and witness measured the distance. From where pri soner was stated to have stood to the nearest part of the gate was 6 ft. 10 in. The ground on the side where prisoner stood is rather higher than where Wetmore stood. Deceased was about sft. 4in. high ; he was rather shorter than the prisoner. The top rail of the gate wds 4 feet and 2 inches from the ground. On the prisoner's side it was 3 feet 10 inches. Birkett, the prisoner, had some three weeks before said to me that Wetmore and Vessey had stolen his rabbit traps. I told him I could not be lieve it, I did not allow anything of the kind, but I would inquire. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Brien—As to the pri soner's habit of walking with his hand to his back, prisoner twice said he wanted to explain it, but it was only once that he said it was an accident. The ground rather ascends than dips into the prisoner's field. There is no dip, to the best of my belief. It was a stubble field. I believe there was no furrow between the point where prisoner was said to have stood and the gate. The left hand hammer was down. Thomas Walker examined said—l apprehended Birkett on the charge of shooting the deceased. I told him I apprehended him on the charge of shoot ing William Watmore. He said, " I did shoot him ; it's a bad job ; I will go with you, policeman, to the place where it happened." I went with the prisoner to the gate, and he showed me the position which he stood in ; it was about half a yard from the gate, with his gun leaning on the top bar of the gate. He saw Watmore and Vessey in the other field. He said, I shouted, " Bring back those traps you've stolen, you thieves." He said Watmore and Vessey came to the gate, and prisoner called them about the traps they had stolen, upon which Wat• more was in the act of striking him over the head. He drew back and his gun went off ; he did not know how. This was on the same night. I asked the prisoner whetherhe had had anything to drink. He said he had had one glass of gin since it hap pened, to settle his mind. He appeared as if he had had drink, from the manner in which he walked and the confusicn he was in. Warrant, a policeman—About 4 a.m. following the night in question witness saw the prisoner, and asked - Walker, in the prisoner's presence, whether he had told the prisoner the charge. Walker said "Yes." Prisoner said that it was an accident, and a very bad job. Watmore and Vessey had had some words with him ' he had his gun-barrel on the top of the gate. "Watmore got up his stick, and I thought he was going to strike me. I stumbled back a little, and the gun went off. I don't know how." Mr. Gilbert gave me the stick and gun produced. Cross-examined—He said he did not know whe ther his coat caught the gun or not. After he was in the lock-up he explained to me that he held the gun in his left hand, and that he stumbled back and that his arm was stretched out in stumbling The ground was not very even. The field on the prisoner's side had been ploughed, and the furrow not well harrowed in within one and a half or two • feet from the gate. I brought the gate away on Monday, and observed marks thereon as of a man having stood on the gate, or as if getting over or leaning over. (The gate was again produced.) William Hough, blacksmith, saw the prisoner Birkett on a stile about a year ago, and had a con versation with him. He said that some one had stolen some of his traps ; that William Watmore had stolen thepi. He said, " D—n his eyes, if I catch him I'll shoot him." I told Watmore that he had threatened him. Cross-examined by Mr. Adams—Prisoner asked me if I knew anything about them. I have never seen him since. Richard Wilson said—l live at Balderson, near Newark. Prisoner has several times spoken to me about traps. On the Saturday before this transac tion he said Benjamin Vessey and Watmore had had some of his traps, and if the traps were not brought back again he should mark Watmore. On the Saturday night previous I asked leave to go across his field. He said I should not go. Thomas Gabey, examined, said—l live in pri soner's service. At 10 p.m. on the 18th prisoner went out with a gun, as he often did. I had heard him a fortnight before say that he would give Wat more and Master Edward Gilbert a charge as soon as he had a chance. Christopher Brown was pre sent at the same time. Cross•examined—Did not hear him say that he intended to charge them before the magistrates for stealing his traps. John Hall, examined said—l live at Barinby, near Newark. I know the prisoner, and was at his house on the Sunday before Thursday, the 18th. Had been on friendly terms. I heard that he had accused me of taking his traps, and I called to clear myself. I said, I " suppose you blame me for taking them ?" He said, " Yes, I thought you had, for I footed somebody across my field, and I was fold that you were on that way." I satisfied him I had not taken them. He said, William Watmore and Benjamin Vessey had. I shall do for William Watmore the first chance I have." He said this more than once. I went to Watmore, the deceased, and mentioned this to him. William Ti n d a l, examined, said—l k now th e prisoner Birkett. I saw him at Grocoek's public house some weeks before the 18th in presence of Thomas Gaby. I conversed with him. Prisoner said, " I think Watmore's getting above his place. He will soon be as bad. as Mr. Thorpe's keeper. I'll lay you 10s. he's not there another half-year." Samuel Job, said—l am a surgeon practising at Newark. I was sent for to Mr. Gilbert's to see the deceased Watmore, and found him dead. He died from a gunshot wound in the direction from left to right, the wound in front being higher than that behind ; but it had gone through the body. Death would be instantaneous. Cross-examined—The difference between the appearances of the wound in front - from behind might be caused by the obstruction the shot met with, causing it to spread ; but my opinion was that the shot had been fired in a downward direction. The shot had missed the left lung, and the lower and middle lobe of the right lung were shattered. Cross-examined again—l do not think that the appearances would all be accounted for by the obstruction opposed to the shot. It would account for the scattering of the shot, not for the downward direction. Mr. O'Brien, in adduessing the jury for the prisoner' in the course o f hi s address observed that e nough had transpired to show that the prisoner, who possessed for one in his position a large pro perty of some 60 or 70 acres, was not favourably regarded by the large landed proprietors around BANK OF ENGLAND.

MIDLAND ClRCUlT—NoniNarum, March 11. (Before the Lord Chief Justice Campbell.) Thomas Brown Birkett was charged with the wilful murder of William Watmore, at Barnby-in the-Willows, on the 18th of November, 1858. Mr. Boden and Mr. Bristowe appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. O'Brien and Mr. W. H. Adams for the prisoner. Benjamin Vessey—ln November last I was in Mr. Gilbert's employment, who lives in Barnby Manor farm. The deceased, William Watmore, was also in his employment as a watcher and trapper. Watmore lived at a house called Kellich, about a quarter of a mile from Mr. Gilbert's house. On the 18th of November witness went to Wat more's house at 9 p.m. to go to a watching with him to some land in the occupation of Mr. Gilbert. We went to some land called the Corporation-close, which adjoins some land in the prisoner's occupa tion. There is a gate between the two closes. I was taking up rabbits and resetting the traps in Corporation-close. I heard guns going off several times, from half-past nine to a quarter to ten ; the sound seemed to come from prisoner Birkett's land. After the last gun went off the deceased shouted " Mark !" In about five minutes I saw the prisoner standing against the gate between the two fields. The night was moonlight and frosty, and the stars shining. I and deceased were about 150 rds from the gate. The prisoner called l ou dly, "Where are those traps marked with H. G.' that belong'to me ?" Watmore answered shouting, " We haven't any ; I don't kno'a anything about them." The prisoner replied, " You're a --- liar and a thief." Watmore called him a "bucket head" seve ral times. I said he was a " chuffy face" several times. We were still at the distance named. The prisoner said, "If you'll come here I'll rightle' you" (a term which the prisoner could not interpret). Watmore said to me, " We'll go, and he shall have the chance. We went up to the gate. When we got to it the prisoner was four or five feet from the gate, in his own close. Watmore went up to the catch-end of the gate, and I to the hinge-end. Birkett was nearer to the catch-end. Prisoner remained where he was, four or five feet from the gate. We two were leaning against the gate on the Corporation close side o f it. Prisoner said to Watmore, " I want to know where those traps are that were marked H.G. " Watmore said, " I havn't got the traps, and I don't know anything about them." Burkett said, " That's all I wanted to know." He then called Watmore a thief. He had with him a double-barrelled gun, which he held under his right arm with the muzzle down wards. The gun was in that position during the conversation I have mentioned. When the prisoner said " That's all I wanted to know," he placed it in a horizontal position, and put in on full cock. He then put the gun to his shoulder, still standing four or five feet from the gate, and said to Watmore, " You're a thief!' Watmore said, " I'll make you prove me one." The prisoner then fired the gun, which was pointed towards Watmore, who was still standing on the other side of the gate from the prisoner, leaning near the catch-end of it. The gate was shut and fastened with a staple and snack. The prisoner was at this time standing a little bit sideways to the gate, and the gun pointed a little side-ways towards it. Upon the gun being fired, Watmore fell backwards dead. I saw, before it was fired, that it was pointed at the left breast. I said to Birkett, " You've killed him." Both I and Watmore had sticks. Neither of us raised them before the gun was fired, nor in any way threat ened the prisoner ; and I never saw him move from the spot, described as four or five feet from the gate, until the gun was fired. I pointed out the spot where the prisoner stood to Mr. Gilbert, the next morning, and also where I and the deceased stood. When I told prisoner that he had killed Wat more, he said, " Watmore was going to strike me with his stick." Watmore was not near enough to have struck nirkett and did not lift his stick at all. I had my eye on Watmore at the time, and I can say positively that he did not lift his stick. When prisoner said he was going to strike him with his stick, I said he was not, I then asked prisoner what we were to do. He replied " Go and fetch some assistance and I'll stay with him." I went away and told Mr. Gilbert and he came to the spot. I had had no quarrel with the prisoner, nor had Watmore in my presence. I got a horse and cart and took the deceased to Mr. Gilbert's farmhouse. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Brien—When first I heard the shots I did not know who was shooting, but when the deceased shouted " Mark !" it was so as to be heard by the person shooting, and when he called I knew it was Mr. Birkett on his own land. The gate is entirely on his own land. He shot up the field until he got to the gate. When he went up to the gate he did not place his gun resting on the top bar of the gate. I could not, when I was 150 yards away, see where the gun was, but the prisoner was four or five feet from it. He was not leaning against the gate a t the time. I never saw him nearer to the gate than four or five feet. He remained in one position the whole time. The gate is about the ordinary size. Birkett's field was barley stubble. On Birkett's side the ground is level. The deceased man was leaning over the gate when the shot was fired, and I was at the remote end. When I saw the gun levelled I did not call out to the deceased. I was in such a posi tion that I could see both the prisoner and the de ceased. Prisoner is accustomed to walk as if in a sort of crippled state with his hand on his back ; I can't say which hand. I have seen him walk with a stick and without one. I didn't see that he had a stick that night. (Witness again described the Manner in which the gun was held.) The muzzle //z, L L c_ -c //( c His Lordship, in summing up, commended the able address of the prisoner's counsel to the attentive consideration of the jury, desir ing them to dismiss from their minds any thing they might have heard out of , court. , He pointed out to them that the evidence of re peated threats used by the prisoner made it very difficult for them to come to any intermediate con clusion between the verdict of " Not Guilty" and of " Guilty" of wilful murder. But, after comment ing on the evidence which his lordship read over to them, if they were of opinion on the evidence that the death of the deceased might have resulted from gross negligence of the prisoner in using his gun, they might find a verdict of " Manslaughter." The jury retired to consider the verdict, and on returning found a verdict of "Wilful murder," but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy, on the ground that he had received great provocation from the watchers. His Lordship having put on the black cap, said that the verdict of the jury was fully justified by the evidence. The prisoner had again and again expressed his intention of being revenged upon the deceased should an opportunity occur. An oppor tunity had unfortunately occurred, and the prisoner had embraced it. The recommendation to mercy made by the jury it would be his lordship's duty to forward to the proper quarter. All that re mained for him was to pass upon the prisoner the dreadful sentence of the law. This his lordship did in solemn form. The prisoner immediately exclaimed, " And so much for the Game Laws !" and was removed from the dock. THE NAVY. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham Dockyard directing a 16-gun screw corvette, to be called the Reindeer, to be immediately laid down on No. 1 slip. The Orpheus, 22, screw steam corvette, being built at Chatham, has had a large number of ship wrights placed on board to expedite her comple tion, in order that she may be launched as early as possible. Her Majesty's steam storeship Dee, paid off at Woolwich on Thursday, was yesterday recommis sioned by Mr. Thomas Pullen, her late commander. The whole of the officers were likewise reappointed, and a number of the seamen also joined. A cor poral and seven privates of the Royal Marines were likewise appointed for service. The Dee is under going considerable repairs in dock. Her Majesty's ship Rhadamanthus, Master-Com mander Sturdee, yesterday left Woolwich for Ports mouth, laden with 300 tons of boilers and steam gear for the Neptune and Vulcan. The following ships were yesterday taken up by Government for the transport of war stores from Woolwich Arsenal—namely, the Red Jacket, for Malta ; the Matilda, for Algoa Bay ; the Princess Royal, for Malta ; the Whirlwind, for Auckland, New Zealand ; the Cairngorum, for Hong Kong ; and the Admiral, for East London, Cape. The paddlewheel steamsloop Ardent, 5, Com mander John H. Cave—from Sierra Leone, January 22 ; Teneriffe, February 26 ; and Lisbon, March 5 —arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday morn ing, She has been about a year on the Coast, and came home in consequenee of having gone ashore at Great Popo, in the Bights of Benin, on the 24th December last, during a dense fog,notwithstanding every precaution was taken. The Ardent remained four days and three nights ashore, and was only got off, with the loss of her guns, ammunition, stores, and provisions by the united efforts of the steamships Archer, Capt. John Sanderson ; Hydra, Commander Hamilton ; and Sharpshooter, Commander Charles Gibbons. Commander Hamilton and Mr. Hitch field, of the Hydra, were very energetic in this service. The grounding of the Ardent will of course form the subject of an official inquiry. Both hull and machinery require repair. When the Ardent left Sierra Leone there were on the south coast the Conflict, Viper, and Pluto, and probably the Spit fire, which was ordered on that station to take the place of the Ardent. Commander Wise in the Vesuvius was in port preparing to leave for a month's cruise. The Coast was healthy. The Ardent was detained 22 days repairing her machi nery at Teneriffe, where the vine is so much im proved that the produce this year is expected to be five times more than in 1858. The cultivation of tobacco is engrossing much attention in the island. A Dutch squadron consisting of three screw frigates and two screw corvettes at Lisbon intend coming Ito Plymouth in the course of two or three weeks. The paddle-wheel steam vessel Pigmy, 3, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday with marine Artillery men for the screw steamship Doris, 32, Captain Heathcott, and some seamen. She left the same day with supernumeraries for Portsmouth and Portland. The gun-boat Skipjack, Lieutenant-Commander Murray, went from Plymouth Sound on Thursday to Devonport to refit. The screw steam-ship ,James Watt, 91, got up steam in Hamoaze on Thursday, but as her machi nery did not work satisfactorilp she will be taken again into Keyham Steamyar . The Sanspareil, 70, was taken in on Thursday. The boilers of the Nile, 90, are in course of removal there. The London, 90, was placed alongside the shear hulk in Hamoaze on Thursday, and received her mizen mast. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Mr. Charles N. Streatfield, mate, to the Hero ; Francis B. Christian, second-master, to the Tartarus ; George Hickman, paymaster ( a dditional), to the Fisgard ; and /Eneas Barkly Reid, lieutenant to her Majesty's ship James Watt, at Devonport. him, or their keepers and watcher, 3 • TheiniiithiPll.PEß between the watchers and the pris4 mer, tially crippled, .vho was going tout,' 'as. 001 , ''. , Z 4 : ti( ,, ,\ -- j• accustomed, to shoot upon his own la eVw*. 4..

Many of the words used by the pris oner • merely indicated h's intention to give the watchers in charge so soon as he had an opportunity. The learned counsel then argued in the . prisoner's favour as to the probabilities of the di: &relit accounts given by the prisoner and the witless Vessey. He contended that the mark of feet having stood heavily on the lower bar of the gate went to estab lish the prisoner's statement that the deceased stood leaning over the gate to strike at the prisoner, and commented on the discrepancy betwe4en the accounts given by different witnesses respecting the nature of the ground, whether level or uneven. He con tended that the unsteadiness and confusion of the prisoner were attributable to the excitement natu rally arising after so painful an accident. If the discharge had been purposely, it was most likely that the right barrel and not the left would be dig- charged, considering the way in which the gun was held ; but it was more likely that the left would be discharged if the firing were by accident. Vessey, who spoke of the shooting as a deliberate act, if he saw the gun so distinctly aimed, would have called out ; the impulse to do so would be irresistible. He commented on the inaccuracy of Vessey as to the distance of the prisoner from the gate when deceased met with his death. THE ARMY. General Sir W. F. Willi ams, C omman d an t o f Woolwich Garrison, at present on temporary ab sence, yesterday went d own t o W oo l w i c h and per formed his half-yearly inspection of the brigade of Royal . Horse Artill er y. M a j o r Tupper's and Capt. King's A and R troops, bein6 the .only portion of the brigade at present in garrison, assembled at 10 o'clock on th e rev i ew grou nd, in command of Major Arbuthnott, and went through several manoeuvres. Sir William Armstrong's gun was also exercised, and fired 50 rounds of blank ammunition. ' The whole of the officers who were granted leave of absence from their regiments at Chatham, joined the depots of their corps at that garrison yesterda y morning, in accordance with orders to that effect. It is understood that no more leave of absence will, for the present, be granted to the officers at Chatham, except under very special circumstances. Printed forms were yesterday delivered to the leading men and foremen of the Royal gun facto ries in Woolwich Arsenal, prohibiting, on pain of instant dismissal, any information to be given relative to the department except to naval an d military officers in her Majesty's service. THE MOUSTACHE IN THE NAVY.--The following plea for "facial hair" is taken from the Medical Times:— " The hair not only keeps off the rays of the sun in the tropics, but it keeps in the natural warmth of the body in the arctic regions. Catarrh, bronchitis, herpes labialis, maxillary neuralgias, sore throats, to all these it is anta gonistic ---antagonistic, indeed, to most of those influences which have the credit for being exciters of pulmo nary disorders. ' The Naval Brigade in the Crimea was most remarkable for freedom from diseases of the respiratory organs. One officer shaved off his mous tache, a thick and bushy one, on rejoining his ship. The immediate result was an attack of pulmonary inflammation, which well nigh cost him his life: And then the cruelty of the operation itself Let each of us landsmen reflect how tenderly We treat our chins—the careful appliances we demand to get comfortably through the daily business of shaving ; and then reflect upon poor Jack's condition and appliances as reported by the Naval Doctor :—l. blunt razor ; 2. cold water, and little of it ; 3. darkness, or some thing like ; 4. bit of broken looking-glass; 5. rolling ship ; 6. cold, stiff features, from the morning watch to operate upon ; and 7. rage at being forced to torture himself.
