HYDROPHOIii A.—The following extract of a letter from Dr. MEI=Au of Tours, gives an other instance of the necessity of efficacious re• medics for the bite of animals :—A boat six weeks ago, M. Carre brought me his eldest son a boy of twelve years old. lie had a cut on his left arm, about an inch in length, simple, slight, and smooth ; such as might have been made by a sharp instrument. It was the result of the bite of a dog of the smallest species. At my request Mr. Carre went, first alone, then with the Commissary of Police, to the house of the mistress of the dog. They found her holding the dog in her lap, and each time they went she made it drink and eat in their presence. More and more satisfied with the state of the animal, I united the lips of the wound, which soon healed ; it was then only that I learned that the owner of the dog bad put it away, rather to avoid the surveillance of the police, than from any fears for herself. I no longer thought of the matter, when, on Wednesday morning, I was called to see the son of Mr. Carre, who, I was told, had his throat full of worms he could not discharge. Nobody thought 4. the fatal bite, and yet I could not doubt its terrible in fluence for a moment. Whenever I presented any liquid to the patient, ho felt a suffocation, pain in his throat, and convulsions over the whole body. I ordered him baths, and every form of aniispasmodie. The night was terrible. It is remarkable that his horror of liquids extended only to what was offered hint to drink, for he willingly took a bath, which did not augment the symptoms. The disease being of rare occur rence, and strongly marked, I thought it my duty to inform my brethren of it, and made the case be publicly known. They were all witnesses of the violent symptoms of this terrible malady, and saw the boy expire amidst the horrors of mad.. ness, on Thursday evening, after 30 hours suffer ing. We never felt any fear of becoming victims of our attention to the unfortunate boy, who never made the slightest movement to bite us. The foam he gave up was not spit from his mouth, but came up by vomiting, which began on the appearance of any liquid whatever. All these particulars seem to prove the necessity of can terizing all bites,even when the state of the d o g. is perfectly satisfactory.":—(journal des Debats) THE EXETER COACV ROBBERY. .MANSION HOUSE.—' be elderly inan; 'whose exsYniastion before the LORD MAYOR on the charge : obeing etstit erned in passing the notes stolen out of Ihe!Erteter e. appeated in our paper of yesterday, was soon afterwards apprehended cfi a simi lar charge. His son was al s o Apprehended, antl'botli were yes terday put to the bar before the Laird Mayor: Mr. Brown, the Marshall, stated that the two prisoners were suspected of having uttered three of the 61., notes stolen out of the Exeter Subscription Coach, knowing them to have been stolen. The case excited particular attention, as the elderprisoner was the day before under such circumstances of suspiaien as excited a very strong impression against him. A clerk of Messrs. Banbury produced three 54 notes which formed part of those which had been stolen, and had been lately received at the Watford bank, from which they were transmitted to Banbury and Co. Mr. Pike, a Gentleman who attended from the Watford bank, deposed, that the three notes had been brought to the house by the younger defendant who had' been previously described to them as a respectable man, and that ether notes were given for them. The house, he said, was not in the habit of changing notes unless the persons.who brought them were known to be respectable. The younger prisoner, upon being called upon to account for his possession of the stolen notes, said he had received them from his father. The old man 'here said that he certainly had given the notes to his son and he trusted the circumstances would bear him out. He had sent his son to the country to sell a horse, and had given him 201. in 51. notes to purchase any thing worth while with. The money was, he believed in four " Mumma- . gems," of which the three that had been produced were a part. fie told his son to get those notes changed at the Watford Bank, where both lie and his son had been known for many years, as he had lived in the neighbourhood a long time. The LOUD MAYOR—You have just arrived at the import ant fact. Where did you get those notes ? Prisoner—l took four or five country notes, anti they were amongst them, at Croydon Fair, for some horses that I sold there. I took another country note, and I think it winta " Bruin =gem," from a publican in Haswell-street. The publican alluded to here stepped forward.—lle keepi the Horse Shoe public-house, which is frequented by saddlers and horse-dealers. Witness did not know the prisoner by name, but he knew him perfectly well by sight, and was asked by him a short time ago to change a 101. note for him ; witness gave him two Si. notes in change, one of which, was a country note he was convinced, but whether it was a Birmingham note or not he could not tell. 'Witness never had more than one Birmingham note, which he received from a gentleman who came to his house with the elder prisoner. The elder prisoner positively , and loudly denied that any such transaction had passed between the publican anti any friend of his, or any person in his company at the house. The Loon MAYOR strictly examined the publican on this point. The latter declared that he believed that the person from whom he had taken the Birmingham note came into his house and dined with the prisoner, with whom he acted as if an inti macy existed between them, and that the prisoner came. and went with the person. Witness was not certain that he had given the same note to the prisoner. The LOUD MAYOR asked the prisoner whether he had marked the notes with the names of the persons from whom he had taken them ? The prisoner teplied in the negative. He never thought of such a thing, for he had never taken a bad country note at a fair in his hfe. He always, however, marked Bank of England notes. The Loan AiATOR asked the prisoner why he sent the notes in question to be changed in the country The prisoner—Because the country people like country notes best. They won't take Bank of tangland notes ; they won't look at them, and think you want to cheat them if you offer such things. The Loan AlAfon. said e that from the circumstance of the prisoner's having been seen in company with a man who had uttered one of the stolen notes, and front the fresh circumstances stated this day, tending to shew the prisoner's having had pos. session of some' of the stolen notes , a case of strong suspicion had been made out. The prisoner said, the ease of this day had no reference to that of yesterday. The story told by the fellow at the linen. . warehouse was not credible. I haVe, addl..] the prisoner, given value for these notes; I paid them away without dread or fear, grid expect value for them. The LORD MAYOte said that he should connect both cases, and must declare that the circumstances were highly aus picious, The City Solicitor was then called in, and after some consul tation on the subject, his Lordship remanded the father; and discharged the son. The old man expressed' gieat surprise at the' tineasure, and said he was quite at a, loss to judge how suspicion rests on hint. Ile was then taken to the Compter. THE BREAD' ACT. Woßstur-STRtarr.--.1 ouwsow Ara) Tar BAKERS.— Yesterday several bakers appeared at this Office, in pursuance of summonses against them for offences under the late Bread Act, liGeo. 4, c. 106. Joseph Dixon, Of Little Pearl -street, Spits was charp,ecl with selling u loaf untier the denomination of a, half-quartern loaf. Biers, the informer, gated, that he went into the defendant's shop on the 3d of October instant, and asked for a small loaf of bread. A female said, ' 6 Will yeti have a penny one ?" Biers said, " No, one of those ;" at the same time pointing to some loaves.. The woman said, " A hall.quartern ?" and de. livered the loaf produced, which ,weighed within one ounce of two pounds. Mr: BE,ETT, the worthy Magistrate WO* whom this case was heard, asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to this information? Mr. Dixon said, that in his absence this man had, as he un derstood•from his wife, entered hie shop eating a piece df Cheese; said he was in a peat hurry, as he had Jeff some person with whom he was drinking, and he wanted a hal f quartern loaf, and that his wife gave hini a two.pound loaf, without calling it by any name, for he instantly left the shop. -Mr; BEN ET T directed the loaf tolie weighed in the scales of the Office. and it weighed Ilb. 14A ounces. Mr. BENETT,-...Wilat was the weight of the half quartern p Kennedy and Waters, the officers, informed the Magistrate the weight was 21h: 2joz. Mr. I.IENETt (to Biers) —Suppose you had purchased one of the penny loaves you have mentioned, and the pers on sell ing had said, in delivering it, 6 6 ' Hera is a half quartern loaf," would you have thought that oufficient ground for laying an in. formation? Bierii--It is not my information. Mr. BEstEVe- , No, but I ask Yon, would you in such a case' have laid an information ? Biers--:No, I should not. Mr. lIENzTT-1 cannot convict i n t his Can. The loaf sold , does not weigh even 21b. being 3/ oz. less than the half quer tern, but it would certainly have altered the else if the , loaf had been two ounces more than the 21b. loaf, for then it would have appeared there was an intention to sell something other than the 2*. loaf, and something bordering on the denomination of A half quartern. As to the name, why a person' stool ' or sell a or a chair, and call it a half q uarters, and if 41 called a penny a half.qu a r tern , inoaimf,inog it or atsho,reed-poceannnyc-ni in int °pima, constitute the off ence loaf, or a two.pound loa f under the statute. g Johnson—l have proved this case , and tall' upon yo ur Woi.. ship for a convictim. Mr. BENETT....I have deeided•the CAHN , Johnson—Then I shall applY but I decide a e ainst' you.4eivliere. Mr. BENETT—You may do so , Ann Chapman, of Elder-street , was convicted in 2s. old. f or not weighing; and Charles Maynard wax convicted by the same weighed Magistrate in 40*. and.6s. costs, for selling a loaf under the de nomination of a half-quarterr, on the ground t h at i t 21b..'1 i 02. 4 which approached the weight of a halfi t ia c t een . An adjourned case for a like , offence against Mn. Clemente, was heard before Samuel Twyfeed; ENO. Mr. Clements, in his defence t appealed to the deci s i on o f Mr. , Serjeant Sellon, at Hattonren, and read over th e w h o l e of . the proceedings from one 0 the daily journals. Mr. Twvvoitn said no man respected the decision of Mr. Serjeant Mellon more than he at but he was - bodnd to exbrelse his own discretion, and cartel* for himself he was bound to ad??a tilfiltrent -construction; of this Act' thirliement ha defendant was conv i c ted in Qs. and 611. C 04116 " arammont once told Rochester that if he could by ' any means divest himself of one-half of hie wit, the other half would make him the most agreeable man in the world. This observation of the Cottrit's did riot strike me ranch o when I heard it, but I remarked the propriety; of it since. - It night I supped at Lord Rochester's with a select party; on such occasions he is not ambitious of shining; he is rather plea sant than arch; he is, comparatively, reserved ; but you find something in that restraint that i.Q mare agreeable than the ut most exertion of talents in others. The reserve of Rochester gives you the idea of a copious river that fills its channel, anti seems as if it would easily overflow its extensive hanks, but is unwilling to spoil the beauty anti verdure of the plains. The most perfect good humour was supported through the whole evenin ! nor was it in the least disturbed whop * unexpectedly, towards the end of it, the King came in (no unusual ting with Charles H.) " Something has vexed him," said Rochester: "he never does me this honour but when he is in Willi . moor." The following dialogue, or something very like it, then ensued : " The King.—llow the devil have I got here The knaves have sold every Cloak in the wardrobe. " Rochester.—Those knaves are fools. That is a part of dress, which, for their own sakes, your Majesty ought never to be without. "The King.—Pshaw ! I'm vexed ! " Rochester.—l hate still life—l'm glad of it. Your Ma. jesty is never so entertaining as when " The King.—Ridiculous ! I believe the English ire the most intractable people upon. earth. " Rochester..-.I most humbly beg your Majesty's pardon, if I presume in that respect. " The King.- You would find them so, were you in my place, and obliged to govern. " Rochester.—Were I in your Majesty's place, I would not govern at all. • " The King.—llow then ? " Rochester.—l would send for my good Lord Rochester, and command hint to gtivern. " The King.—But the singular modesty of that nobleitian. ".Rochester.—lie would, certainly conform himself to your Majesty's bright example. flow gloriously would the two grand social virtues flourish under his' attimices ! " The King.-0 prises fides I What can these be ? " Itazhester.—The love of wine and women ! 'The King.—Ood bless your Majesty! ` " Rochester.—These attachments keep the world in . good humour, and therefore I say they are social virtues. Let the Bishop or Salisbury deny it if he can. " 7he King.—He died last night. have you a mind_ to succeed him ? 44 Rochester.—On condition that I shall neither be called upon to preach on the 30th of January, nor on the 29th of May I". " The King.—Those conditions are curious. You obect to the first, I suppose, because it would be a melancholy su bject; but the other.-- " Rochester.--Would be a melancholy subject too. " The King.—That is too much— " Rochester.—Nay, I only mean that the business would be a little too grave for the day. Nothing but the indulgence of the two grand social virtues could be a proper testimony of my joy - upon that occasion. " The King.—Thou art the happiest fellow in my domi nions. Let me perish if Ido not envy thee thy impudence ! "It is such strain of conversation, generally, that this Prince passes of his chagrin ; and he never sidibrs his dignity to stand in the way of his humour. If happiness be the end of wisdom, I know not who has a right to censure his conduct." • the anniversaries of King Charles the First's Martyrdom, and the restoration of Charles the second.

CAliffinlDGE HEATRE.—On Monday evening. &ratan:A.lM's admirable comedy of At You Like It was performed by desire of the Brethren of" the School of Plato," to a most' respectable and genteel audience. We believe that the character of Rosa/bid, even in the hands of Mrs. Jordan, never neceived more justice than it experienced from Miss Wen. Aley ; it would be but echoing the sentiments 'of all present, if 'we gave our highest tribute of praise to that young lady's per formance. /ler idea of the character appeared to us critically Just—her playfulness in some of the scenes, and her tenderness in others, were highly marked—nor must we omit the exquisite .manner in which she gave the celebrated Cuckoo Song, which was rapturously encored. Mr. Osbaldiston, in the melancholy but interesting Moralist Mr. J. Vining in Orlando, slid Mr. Bennett m Touchstone, Moralist, and received the warm tribute of applause. In short, the whole play was, in the language of the stage, admirably well got up, and gave very general satis faction. The Masonic Brethren again experienced the awl ficatitm which they had derived lest year from Mrs. Bloinan's recitation of the Masonic - Address ; ' she looked extremely well Wirer costume, and If any female can hope to arrive at the knowledge of " the mysterious secrets," we should think Mrs. : Sloman Is of all others the most likely, and the most deserving of the confidence she 'so archly and prettily &Mended. The farce of X. Y. Z. followed, in which Mr. Slornan and Mr. 'Bennett delighted the audience with their comic powers. On Tuesday the opera of Clari, with All in the Dark, were per. .formed under lire patronage of Mrs. W. Frere, and the theatre was filled with a fashionable and brilliant audience on the occa sion. On Wednesday : the Belle's Stratagem, with Catherine l and Petruehlo, by desire of the M4ol* and. Mrs. Abbott, were represented to an overflowing house. The theatre closed yes. terday evening, with Pizzaro, the Recruiting Sejeant, and the Irish Tutor for the benefit of Mr. Smith, the manager, who was,as usual honoured with a bump e r. In c o nc ludi ng our remarks on the corps dramatique, we have merely to no. tire, that Mrs. Sloman has added to her well-earned fame by the talent she has diaplayeti throughout her - varied range of cha. 'meters, and may justly be pronounced one of the best and most useful performers ever remembered on these boards; Mr. J . Vin ing has not risen quite so rapidly as we anticipated, many of his characters being susceptible of a greater degree ofanimation than he generally throws into them ; he is, however, at all times gentlemanly and 'resPectable. Mr. &pan, who is frequently As irresistibly ludicrous as Liston himself, has continued unin. Iterruptedly to give a comic song every evening, and the double encore has been invariably and vociferously called for—an in stance of popularity not often equalled, particularly when it is considered that a similar demand is made throughout the whole eircult He will, notwithstanding' do well, on a future occa sion, tn store , his budget with-a little more novelty, anti not to repeat the same.song on two successive nights. Mr. Wharton, in boisterous old men, is completely at home, but, as a general aetori •we • have )10 Many superior in his line. Mrs:Owen, we' must repeat, , is a very inefficient substitute for Mrs. Jones, articularly in the, representation of comic old women in the ! higher Sphere of life, in . which the latter so greatly excelled. Our'opinien of Mr. Denims remains' unaltered—as &Anger had displays taste and aeience, and 1w has an excellent voice; his acting. howenr, is as tame as ever. The company, in general, Appear to have given as much satisfaction as last year, the sea son having been very unsuccessful.—( Cambridge Ciirelikk.) 4,140,A, The Public curiosity to visit the Abbey dip. pears not to have in the least, abated. Both yesterday and this day the visitors were ez ceedingly numerous, and all appeared .earnest in contemplating the different rare objecti which still present themselves here. In fast, the progress of the sale has not, as yet, made any material difference in the, general arrangements with respect to the exhibition of the property. No articles have been removed, except. books 'and some of the smaller bijoux. There were yeaterday some more arrivals, m anticipation of the sale of pictures, which will com me nce tom orrow; and from all appearances w ith grea t . ec l at . Th e inns at Hindon, Tisbury, Hatch, and Knoy lei are generally full, and the Pavilion, is always occu pied by a constant succession of new itnatei. The books terminated to-day, and sold extern gently high. The more valuable of the paintings appear reserved for Tuesday next. Much speed laden is indulged at the Abbey us to the ropiest between the Parisian and English dealers, who are here in numbers, and many more are expect. ed . to-morrow from Bath, Salisbury, A Misbury, and Shaftesbury, where' they have quartered themselves. As an exposition of fine Paintings, it appears a mutter of surprise among the ama teurs they were not removed to London, and is decried by those who appear to understand the traffic in Art as a most desperate adventure, on the part of Mr. PHILLIPS ; but the result will shortly prove the correctness or incorrectness of the experiment.—The company have of late been particularly select ; and among those during the lust were— Lord Henry Kerr, Lady M.

' At the western extre mity is situate the Court of Chancery; the Vice Chancellor's Court stands next; and then follow the Courts of Comptes: Pleas, Exchequer, and King's Bench, the last fbrining the eastern end. They are all accessible on two sides; there being an entrance into each from the street, and also from Westmin ster Hall. A passage the whole length of thellall, In the ex. terior between it and the five Courts. It is tiliont 9 feet wide, commencing on the top of the first 'fight of th e s ton e sta i r s lead ing from Palace-yard to the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and opening into New Palace-yard. Into thit4llas sage an opening is made through the northern wall of the Hall, in front of each Court. Another passage runs along the nor thern side of the range of Courts, from which there are avenues into the street through the Law Offices, which constitute the ex terior of the building on that side. One great advantage' et:, tending Allis new arrangement is this :—The entrance into 'the Courts from the Hall may be closed at any time without him*. venicnce, the remaining approaches', from. the street and t ,fu r ..; opening at the head of the &snot' the stone stairs leading to *lt 11P444"0f Lord* b..ing amply aufficlent foe all who may her occasion to attend the Courts,..

'A year is the time that has been allowed forcompleting the two Equity Courts, and two years' for the others.. The MI former are nearly finished. The Coon of Chancery will be ready in the . course of next month, ,but the Lord Chancellor does not propose ' to. sit in it until the Meeting of Parliament. The Vice-Charw ecline's Court, which is in a more forward state, will be ready 'on the first of next Term It will be then used as the Court of Common Pleas. The following is a brief description of theaft: 'two Courts and their appurtenances in their present state. On approaching them by the stone stairs leading to the Lords, on entering the long passage, there Is a descent of eight steps; and a little further on a descent of five steps, and then the re: :mainder of the passage is on o level with the Hall and the se. i venal Courts. The first apartment from the entrance on the left is a room - for the Lord Chancellor's officers and attendants.: The next is the Lord Chancellor's private room; and the next' 'the Court. THE COURT Or CuANCE4Y.—This is a spacious square;. 114011. The bench is at the western end, end the . sidea ate .lined with oak wainscot, painted of oak colour end highly varnished, about eight feet high. A very handsome circular gallery runs round it at a convenient height, intended for the accommodation of students and suitors of the Court The 'front of the gallery is of iron rail-work, supported at equal ini. - . . .0 tervals by broad plinths, and is of a light and chaste appear• mice. The ceiling is slat, and in the middle of it is a large open spare surmounted with a dome, each aide of Which'is nearly tilled by a large circular window. There are several other windows on the sides of the Court, but those in the dome . • or cupola arc the principal ones, by which the Court is lighted. At the back of the Bench is the Chancellor's private room, Intel which there is a door at each end of the Bench.-. The private room communicates with the passage leading to the House Of 'Lords, and it also communicates on the other side -with a room for the Chancellor's servants in waiting, which opens into the ' passage on the other side communicating with the street. On the outside of this passage is also a stone staircase leeding`to` the gallery. The benches fee the Counsel are the wily part* of the Court unfinished, witli the exception of the dreladistifp or the Bench, and the miner 'embellishments. _ - . , Tim Vrcr-Cuawcur.Lon'a Co titrr.—The Courevibleh is' now preparing as it temporary.
