HARTER v. LLOYD. ( From Dr. Soudan:ores. Work on Gout.) By the obliging friendship of Mr. Astr.Ev Coorrn, lam enabled to offer his statement of a series of experiments which he performed upon dogs, with a view to ascertain the comparative solvent power of the gastric juice upon different articles of food, and to derive any useful con clusions which they might afford, for the dietetic management of the human stomach, when in a weak state of digestive power. —These experiments were related in the lectures which Mr. Cooper delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, five years ago; hut they have been published only in this treatise. In the conducting of these experiments, every practicable uniformity of method was observed. The substances were cut to a determinate form, and weighed. They were then forced into the animal's throat : A given time having elapsed, the dog was killed; and the substances not yet dissolved by the action of the gastric juice, being, again weighed, their lass, and consequently their degree of digestibility as food, under the healthy action of the stomach of the dog,* was estimated. Raw food, and the lean parts only of meat, were given, except when the contrary is expressed. NAVIGATION or THE TIIAM4S.

Dr. titioper's Pills . ►f Repute. %Wholesale Allow. &e. This was an action by the assignees of Messrs. Greatorex, of Manchester, hankrupts, against Mr. bloyd; a commission. agent in London, to recover sums of money for which he had not (tidy accounted to the bankrupts, and damages arising from the impropr mode of dealing which he was alleged to have adopted. • Before the case was opened, it was suggested that the cause, involving a minute examination of most voluminous accounts, would occupy no less than forty-eight hours. •The Counsel for the defendant expressed their readiness to consent to a•reference, and this course was strongly recommended by the Loup Cni Er JusTICE, who expressed his opinion, that thus only justice could be satisfactorily attained. The Counsel for the plaintiffs, however, intimated that their clients would agtee to no investi gation except in open Court. Mr. SCARLETT then opened the various items of charge and complaint against the defendant, arising on a lottg course of dealing, in which he had sold goods on commission for the bankrupts. The proceedinga under the conainission were then put in, for the purpose of establishing the title of the plaintiffs to sue. On the face of the proceedings, however,. there was no sufficient allegation of an act of bankruptcy, and it heroine necessary to shew that such act had been committed. For this purp?se,. it was proved that the bankrupts executed a deed, conveying all their real and personal estate to trustees; but it appeared that on the very day this deed was executed, the commission was cent for : it therefore became a question for the Jury, whether the bankruptcy was not concerted; and, consequently, whether the plaintiffs had proved the first step in the cause. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the defendants, renewed his offer of referring the whole matter, and stated that if his offer were accepted, he would waive all objections to the bank ruptcy. This offer, after considerable hesitation,was accepted, and the Jury found a verdict for 5,0001., the unagesin the decla ration, subject to a reference. • The Loan CITIFY JUSTICE observed, that no imputation ought to rest on the defendant In consequence of any thing which had been opened, especially after the manner in which he had waved all objection to the bankruptcy; for if the Jury had found against the plaintiffs on the question of bankruptcy, hcdid not see how they could ever have renewed their claim. NICHOLSON V. HAvsoN. This was an action by the plaintiffs, who are bankers at Leeds, to recover 600/., the amount of a promissory note lodgill with them in 1810, as security for their advances to Messrs. Field, Royston, and Field, who have since become bankrupts. The defence to this action was, that Mr. Manson had, in May, 1822, specially indorsed a bill of Messrs. Field and Co. to the plaintiffs, in lieu of his forinn. note. Such a bill, so in dorsed, was produced ; but Mr. Field, one of the bankrupts, swore that it was indorsed at his request, and not instead of the note. On the other hand, Mr. John Mattson, a nephew of the defendant, stated that he carried a letter from his uncle to the bankers, on the day when the bill was indorsed, warning them that they were to regard it 'is redeeming his former liability on the note. The plaintiffs denied that they ever received such letter, and treated the evidepee of this witness as wholly false. The Um) CHIEF JUSTICE left the question and fact for he Jury, who found a verdict for the defendant. At three o'clock, an indictment for perjury, " The King v. Williams," was called on for trial, but was postponed at the request of the Counsel on both sides, as it was likely to occupy several hours. The Lord CHIEF.JUSTICE, finding a difficulty in filling up the time with other causes in which parties were ready, ex. messed a strong opinion against taking cases nut of their order, and intimated to the Bar that he wits not bound to rise at any customary hour. At last a common Jury cause, of no public interest, was taken, and occupied the Court till near six o'clock. COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS, GUILDHALL. IN BE P. F. ANDnEw. The Conunissioners sat on the adjourned examination of this bankrupt. Since the last public examination of this bankrupt a private investigation before the Commissioners has taken place, which was of a most extraordinary description. The bankrupt, on being asked whether he was prepared either to reconcile the consistencies of his former examinations, or to furnish more explicit accounts than hitherto given in, replied that the ac counts previously sworn to were erroneous and imperfect, and the statement* he had made altogether fictitious. He was then called upon to amend the latter instanter, and in answer to questions put to him by Mr. Wilde, he said that a sense of shame and desire of concealment had in duced him to suppress a fact which he now had found it necessary to admit, in order to account in part for the de. ficiency in his balance-Acct. During the time he resided in Edward-strect, Brighton, Mrs. Andrew went on a visit to her relations at Puthorough, where she remained a fortnight ; during that period he had admitted various damsels into his house, and who, of course, had possessed some claims on his generosity. These admissions might have amounted in number to ten or a dozen. The parties he had thus been connected with might have been five or six ; he could not say, but he might have invited the same ladies frequently; used to admit them sometimes at the back door, but more frequently took them through the shop ; slept up stairs—his son and the servant sleeping on the same floor. The ladies were not common women—would not say whe. ther they were married women or not, but could safely . assure the Court they were tine women—very fine women indeed. —They used sometimes to throw gravel up at his bed-rootsi window, when he would go down and let them in. Did no recollect whether he burned a rush-light—thought he did some times. Did not pay the ladies who honoured him with their company very liberally—generally gave them a trifle, but after be had removed horn Edward-street to West. street, they used to call upon him for money, which he gave them to a considerable amount, being afraid of his wife hearing of the Ai& ; titcy were, however, always very civil; used to send the women off before it was daylight ; frequently gave them two or three sovereigns at a time; thinks he may have given them on buttered pounds, perhaps more— perhaps less. Ilas reason to think his son used to take money nut of' the till ; knows he was very wild, and for a long while under the hands of a doctor; he cannot say how much he has taken; would not positively say that he had so done, but has grounds for suspecting it ; allowed hint to remain in the shop, and to have controul over the receipts to the time he left Brighton, although he had been made acquainted, by Dr. Ivory, of his son's wild conduct three months before ; did not say any thing to his son on the subject then or since. Mr. WILDV, Counsel for the assignees, was unavoidably ab sent, and Mr. POLt.ocx, for the bankrupt, prayed time of the Court for his client ,to put in an amended statement. of his ac counts, He observed that his client was evidently 11-12ths of a fool, and allowing the remainder to be knavery, he trusted the predominance of the former quality would obtain for him ail the indulgence which it was in the power of the Court to grant. One of the assignees rather doubted the correct proportion of Mr. Pollock's adineasurement. under ru the commission, The Court, however, agreed to the request of Mr. Pollnck. It a s e late ex s po h ° l l e n d u a tl n i e ‘‘ i:a u e l c d u h ra a ec e been by whom w in as at e t x e r ld e a ct n e e d e :l a t s a a t the w ji b ne a ss nk but lie wail not fortheomingo— otlfietacts.esigbnaneeksnw:pott,ttlidmmlitieismt rao,bably f Timer.)

The medical attendant (Mr. Maiden, of Stratford) obaerving that it was much Smaller to size than the other dominos of which it bad been one in the Het, was induced to Weigh it, and found that its weight wan only 34. grains, while that of the others was 66 grains; so that it lost by digestion 22 grains. Those surfaces of the domino, which, when swallowed,. were hollow and blackened, as usual, were found prominent like buttons. • Approaching nearly in structure to the stomach of the huinan subject. ORIGIN OP THE BEER CALLED ENTIRE.—The origin of this name is thus • related in the Picture of London Before the year 1730, the malt liquors in use in London were ale, beer, and two-penny ; and it was customary to call for a pint or tankard of half and half, i. c. half of ale and half of beer—half of ale and half of two penny. In course of time it also became the practice to call for a pint or tankard of three threads, meaning a third of ale, beer, and two penny ; and thus the publican had the trouble to go to three tasks, and turn three cocks, for a pint of liquor. To avoid this inconvenience and waste, a breffer, of the name of Hmtwoon, conceived the idea of making a liquor which should partake of the same united flavours of ale, beer, and two-penny : he did so, and succeeded, callinn , it Entire, or Entire Unit, meaning that it was drawn entirely from one cask or butt ; and, as it was very hearty and nourishing liquor, and 'supposed to be very suitablefor porters and other norking people, it obtained the name of Porter." This latter liquor is, however, now only a cam. pound of mild and stale porter, or of the same liquor in the tWo different states. The very serious and melancholy occurrence which happened on the 23d inst. by a number of vessels which were making for the Pool running foul of each other, seems to require particular in. vestigation. A Public Notice issued from the Mansion House, during the Mayoralty of 'Alder man MAGNEY, very properly imposes a special duty upon the Harbour Masters, with the view of preventing the confusion and danger which must arise from fleets of Colliers coming up, when. the Pool is in a crowded state. It enjoins all such vessels to bring up at Black wall, if they find a particular flag flying at the entrance of the City Canal ; and if, in furtherance of this salu tary precaution, the Harbour Masters do attend to the crowded state of the river, much mischief might be obviated. But we fear that the measure after all is a very imperfect one, and that some more effectual Jemerly must he found. The dreadful slate of the Port of London to wards the close of the► last century, from the want of regulation as to the mooring and navigating vessels, Occupied the attention of the Legislature from the year 1796 to the year 18(X) ; and it w as conceived that the formation of the Wet Docks, and the establishment of a proper system of superintendence by the appointment of Harbour Masters, would effectually remedy the evils ; but such has been the increase in the nn►nber of colliers, coasters, and foreign vessels frequenting the Port, that the state of the River is now worse than it was then, and equally calls for fur ther regulation. In some of the late inquiries in Parliament it has been stated, that the duty of the Harbour Master is either not properly defined, or not duly attended to. Without meaning to impute neglect or inability, we may call the attention of the. Chief Magistrate to his important duty as Con. sv rvator of the River Thames. If further audio. rity is wanting, Parliament should be applied to, and will not be backward in granting that which seems so essential to the lives and property of the subject. That this is the case we have strong reason for believing, especially as respects the steam. vessels, which being more dangerous than any other, ought to be subject to more rigid regu lation. The only effectual mode of govern ing the navigation of this great River ap pears to he by assigning appropriate sta lions to each class of vessels, and subjecting them to separate regulations; and probably a more united Ilyste►rr of management would be at• tended with advantage. We refer to the general authority of the► city, and to the special controlst of the Trinity House. We are quite aware that this subject is one which must be entered ups► with the most cir cumspect regard to all its important bearings ; and, while an impatient haste on the part of the master and pilot to bring a ship to her moorings must be restrained, with a view to the public good, unnecessary delay must be guarded against, if that, while thee general property in the River is protected from injury, the interests of the owners and consignees of vessels, arriving at a period probably when their cargoes may be its request in the market, ar•e not disregarded. We are more especially anxious that what over is done in this most important matter, no opening should be left for partiality or abuse...— We are lead to make this remark from having heard an insinuation (which, however we do not believe) that the salutary regulation to which we have referred in respect to colliers, has a very different object from that which is avowed, viz. to keep back a certain number of cargoes, and thereby to have an effect upon the market. These hints are thrown out with the view of exciting the attention of the numerous indlvi. duals in this great Metropolis, who are com petent to the task of investigating the subject fully, in the hope that measures may be suggested before the meeting of Parliament, by which the dangers and inconveniences of the Port of London, at present so injurious to our foreign commerce, may be remedied. The disgraceful circumstance of some of the vessels having been plundered during the court'. sion that arose out of the calamity which gave rise to these remarks, calls for the greatest vigi lance on the part of the Thames Police, and is not an unimportant feature of the evils, which at present affect the commerce of the Port. WostAN.---" I have always remarked," says the celebrated traveller, LcnvAnn," that women in all countries are civil, obliging, tender, and humane. To a woman, whether civilized or savage, I never addressed myself in the language of decency and friendship, without receiving ,a decent and friendly answer, With man it has been often otherwise. In wandering over the barren plains of inhospitable Denmark ; through honest Sweden, and frozen► La►pl►and ; rude and churlish Finland ; unprincipled Russia; a►►d the wide spread regions of thu wandering Tartars, if hungry, dry, cold, wet or sick, the women have ever been friendly to me, and uniformly so ; and, to add to this virtue, these actions have been performed in so free and kind a manner, that if I was dry I drank the sweetest draught, and if hungry I ate the coarsest morsel with a double relish.
