English, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian, in a Sealed Envelope, 2s. 6d., or post-free, for Forty-two Stamps, SSELF-PRESERVATION; en Analytical Investigation of the Physiology and Functions of Marriage, in all the bearings in which that important subject affects the health and happiness of Man, with its Disqualifications and Impe diments, tracing their origin to the effects of juvenile solitary habits, youthful excess, tropical climates, or close study ; followed by prac tical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatment of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhcea, Syphilis, and nil diseases of the Urinary and Generative System. Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. $7, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Tizard, late Manager of the Nine Elms Brewery Vauxhall; Author of " The Theory and Practice of Brewing Il lustrated," patentee of the Mashing Attemperator, &C. The vast superiority in th e strength and flavour of the resit liquors of Great Britain over those of other countries is universally a dmitted, and arises, not as commonly su pp ose d, from any pecu liarity of climate, but ' from the exclusive use of the best materials, a nd the care and attention bestowed in their manufacture. The ,qtlality of the water is, no doubt, a point of considerable importance; " ll t all analysis of the water of l'aris shows it to be equal, if not su perior, to that of London for all the purposes of brewing, and, lit Z e ne Instances, similar to that used in the manufacture of the cele brated Burton ales. Excellent barley and hops being equally at Z i 'Kraand, the superiority of the English beers can only arise from e causes already mentioned. The Great Paris Brewery is therefore established wills a firm Conviction that, with sufficient capital, the use of the best materials, ! are and attention in the manufacture, and the adoption of the moat al Pr eyed machinery, beer can be produced in France of a quality Zi s nal to the British, and of the various kinds so justly famed under the nam es of Scotch and Edinburgh ales, bitter ale, London porter, Lle r u e ,b lll l Stout. Thus the Scotch ale may be represented by "La sraperiale ;" the bitter ale by 4 . La Biere de Sante," &c.

'IP HOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication IL in Eliza's Cook's Journal of " Lines written at Kensall-green Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of "Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. Fcr many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended be its coarseness. Far and wide was ha known as the Post of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge t`tat s ich a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be f nand wit out the help of a grave-yard servant, and ail who have laughed at his Mimi able wit, cr sighed over his human tenderness, arc now earneiitly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in t7.e thing and doe to the dead. For the furthering of this design, the following gentlemen, mem bers of the NV hitting Ciub, have formed themselves into a Com mittee : Mr. Mr. '1 r. Mr. Mr. J. Balfour Mr. R. W.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) In cons( quence of the Lord Chancellor having re ceived the Judges, gieen's Counsel, &e , at breakfast, as usual, on tin+ first day of this Term, his Lordship did not tutee his seat in Court until half-I)4st one o'clock. At the sitting of the Court Vice-Chancellor Sir Jjhn Stuart took the usual oaths. His Lordship, utter expressing a strong opinion in favour of the continuance of the ancient feeling in favour of Westminster Ball, and his wish that no separation should apparently take place between the common law and equity bars, acceded to the request of the bar as tar as regarded the present term, stating that he was much influenced in yielding to the request: made to him by the fact of the other equity judges having to sit in chambers at Lincoln's-inn. The Court therefore sat this day at Lincoln's-inn. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII.—Nov. 2. MELL')R V LOUGH AND LEATHER. This was an action of replevin, tried before Mr. Justice Wightman at the Liverpool Asstze , i, in which a verdict had been given for the plaintiff Mr. James now moved for a rule of nisi to show cause why that verdict, as against Lough, should not be set aside. The facts of the case, which excited some atten tion at Liverpool, were as follows. A certain pony, the subject matter of the action, had been in the possession of Leather for a considerable time. The plaintiff Mellor made a claim to the pony, and, some time before the action was brought, he, with one or two others , surrep titiously obtained possession of it from the d e f en da nt Leather's stables. Upon this a complaint was made to the police authorities, the parties were given into cus tody, and the pony detained by the defendant Lough, appointed under the Mamma. Corporations Act. T he who was a constable of ..the -borough of Liverpool, charge having been dismissed, the magistrate exer cised the authority given to him, in regard to pro perty alleged to be stolen, by the 5 and 6 Vic., c. 116, by making an order for the delivery of the posy to the defendant Leather, and this order was carried into effect by Lough, in whose custody the pony was. Thereupon proceedings in replevin took place. The defendant Lough at the trial pleaded the general issue, and the learned judge ruled that the defence could not come in under that plea. The learned counsel proceeded to corn ment at some length upon the acts of Parliament relat ing to the privileges and powt rs of constables appointed under the Municipal Corporation Act, and upon the case of " Haseldino v. Grove" (3 Q. B. Rep.), and one or two others, when he was stopped by the Court, and a Rule nisi granted. C. W.

THOMPSON.—SLANDER •2. The plaintiff to the Brewers Insurance Company, and also auditor to the London Necropolis Company, but in consequence of some charges made against him ho was dismissed from the first-named situation. The defendant was a di rector in the Necropolis Company, and at a meeting on the 23d of February, 1852, he communicated to his brother di re ctors the fact of the plaintiff's dismissal, and pro posed that he should be also dismissed from the office of auditor to the Necrcrlis Company. The chairman in quired the grounds of the plaintiff s dismissal from the secretaryship; when the defendant saii he was charged with obtaining money Lnder false pretences from the so. licitors, and giving an I 0 U for a petty cash debt. This was the slander upon which the action was founded, but as it I. a s uttered in a privileged communication from the defendant to his brot her directors, it was necessary, to sustain the action, that the plaintiff should prove that the defendant bad acted maliciously.. Of this there was no conclusive evidence, but th e plaintiff proved that he and his solicitor attended a m eetin g of the Necropolis Company directors on the Bth of March, called . for the purpose of investigating t h e matter, when the defendant refused to make any statement in the presence of the plaintiff's solicitor, or of the plaintiff himself. The trial took place before Chief Justice Jervis , at the sittings in Middlesex after last term, when the jury were of o p inion that malice was proved, and they gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1501. Mr. Serjeant Boyles to-day moved to enter a verdict for the defendant, or for a new trial, and submitted that there was no evidence of malice to go to the jury, and that an inuendo stated in the declaration was not sup ported in the evidence. As to the new trial, that was asked for upon the ground that the evidence did not warrant the jury in finding so largo an amount of damages. The Chief Justice said he thought the amount of damages was very large. Rule Nisi granted. or thieves. There were 40 present when the prisoners were anprehended. Police-constable 18 L said he had known Grant for three years es the constant companion of well-known and reputed thieves. Ho had been in custody on diffe rent charges several times. Grant said this was a story trumped up by the police man, who had declared three years age, when a summons wus issued against a boer-,hop at which he was potman, acd o❑ which occasion ho was the principal witness against the police, that if ever the time came he would give him a turn. The officer said this was entirely untrue. He rave the dates when the prisoner was in custody, and specified the charges against him. The Assistant Judge thought it high time Grant was sent to another country. lie than sentenced him to be transported for ten years. Ryan, who was not known, was cautioned that if ever he waa convicted again a like fate would await him, and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. [PRICE SD. LITERATURE. THE MAGAZINES. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 2. (Sittings in Banco.) motto.ax v. CT.TFTON, BAI T. This action was tried before the Chief Baron at the last sittings at Guildhall, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff with 8001. damages. Mr. Edwin James, on the part of the defendant, now moved for a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the eviclet.ce, and upon affi- davits. The action was brought against Mr. Clifton (now Sir Robert Clifton, son of the late Sir Jukes Chiba, of Clifton-hall, Nottingham), to recover the sum of 1,0001. due on a bill of exchange, which was given to a person named Rowlands. It was pleaded that the bill was given for a gambling transaction, and that no considera tion was paid for it tir the plaintiff, and that it had come into his possession with a full knowledge of the circum stances under which it had been obtained. The facts of the case were as follows :—The plaintiff was the keeper of a public-house at Nanty- Glow, in Wales, and there Rowlands, who was edu cated as a surgeon, but spoken of as a sporting man, became acquainted with the defendant, then a minor. Mr. Rowlands afterwards visited at Clifton-hall, and it was proposed that he should accompany Mr. Clifton abroad, which he did, and diversified the journey up the Rhine by winning 2,000/. of the defendant at dominoes. No security was asked or given for this sum, at that time; but in September, 1848, ho went to Ireland, and called on Mr. Clifton, who was then visiting his brother in-law, Sir Harvey Bruce. Mr. Clifton was in bed when Rowlands called, but he accepted two bills, each for 1,0001., dated 22d September, 1848, and payable on de mand, but which Rowlands pledged his word should not be presented till after the death of Sir Jukse, or nego tiated. One of the bills afterwards passed to the present plaintiff, and one to a person named Williams. The plaintiff was called at the trial, and endeavoured to prove that the consideration for which the bill had been given vi as a sum of 800/. 6s. 2d., which be declared was duo to him from Rowlands, and had been owing for seven or eight years previously. The principal items of the bill were " brandy and water " and "horses." Morgan admitted on cross-examination that ho knew Rowlands was insolvent, and that he could not have advanced any money for the bills. He also ad mitted that on one night in January, 1851, Rowlands had come to him and asked him to keep the bills for him in his safo. It was afterwards arranged that Morgan should hold one of them for the tavern bill in question. The affidavits on which the learned counsel moved, set forth that Rowlands, wbo would have been a moat im portant witness, had kept out of the way, and Morgan admitted, on cross-examination, that the evening betore the trial he had dined with Rowlands at Wood's Hotel, Furnival's Inn, and that he had also breakfasted with him there on the following morning, the day of the trial. Four several journeys had been made into Wales to endeavour to subpceaa Rowlands. The Lord Chief Baron—You may take a rule upon both points.—Rule nisi accordingly.

Henry Brooks was born, bred, and buried in the parish, and therefore it must be interesting to all to peruse a sketch so associated with the memory of the departed great. The tomb of Henry Brooks is thus described : " We landed in the glebe meadows, where we found they had secured the attendance of a N ery old and wrinkled woman, that she being the nonog,e narian of the parish, might point out the precise spot where H. Brooks was buried, for seventy long years ago she, as a young country colleen, went with the whole county side to meet the funeral coming from Dublin. There indeed is no tomb or monumental marble, hut in the absence of all such decayahle matter, God's sun shines perennially on the spot, and every evening its descending beams will come to visit the old ruin, and with their rich and tender light rest on the good man's grave, bathing the green sod in day. There are wild flowers too growing there, planted by no human hand, the common yarrow, the yellow melliloh, and the wild pansy. Descending from the mound which holds Brook's dust, I found myself repeating Campbell's fine lines— ' But fling his ashes to the wind, Whose tongue and pen has served mankind. And is he dead, whose glorious mind Lift's mine on high, To live in hearts we leave behind, Is not to die.'

Tne principles of the lIYGEIAN or MORISONIAN SYSTEM are contained in the following propositions :- 1. The vital principle is in the blood. 2. Everything in the body Is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the slime. 4. All diseases arise trom impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. 5. Pain and disease have the same origin; and may therefore be considered synonymous. 6. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and body, the health of one must conduce to the serenity of the other. 7. Proper Purgation by Vegetables is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. 8. The discovery of a VEGET ABE COMPOUND, capable of being digested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it the energy requisite for ridding the body of all impurities, was a desideratum. 9. This discovery was made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist, in the composition of the VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE (Morison's Pills) of the British College of Health, Hamilton•place New-road, London.

Mr. Hubbard, on behalf of the .assignees in this case, made an application under the following circumstances: —The bankrupt had obtained his certificate several yeare ago, he had since come into the possession of con siderable property, and having paid all his creditors in full was desirous of a properly classified certificate under the new act. The old certificate lay at his (Mr. Hub bard's) office; and, what was more strange, there was a large surplus in the hands of the official ass i gnee , after payment in full of all the creditors, for which the bankrupt declined to apply. His Honour said he had no power to interfere ; the certificate already issued must stand.

The insolvent was entitled, under the will of his fa ther, on the death of his mother, to considerable funded property. In November, 1850, the insolvent was indicted by his mother tor stealing some articles of grocery, of the value of 155., and before trial she died. Her depo sitions were admitted in evidence, and he was convicted at the sessions, and sentenced to 21 days, imprisonment. By his mother's death be became entitled to the property lett under his father's will. The crown had, as ho was convicted of felony, made a claim to the same, and va rious negotiations had been pending between the solici tor of the Treasury and his attorney, and it was antici pated that the crown would relinquish the claim, and that the property would come to him. He had given mortgages to some of his creditors on the pcoperty in question. Mr. Commissioner Law required some further evidence on the subject, and the case was adjourned. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Nov. 2. memoirs to our notice : " The pages which I present to my reader," she tells us, " are not memoir., they are rather recollec tions. I have never had the slightest pretension to he a hel esprit, or to occupy a niche in the temple of fame. I write that I may pass over in my mind the principal events in my life ; they are deeply interest• bag to me, nor will they be less so to my daughter. I know not in what light they may appear to others. I speak little of what concerns myself personally, just as much as is necessary to make me know and to prove that I have seen what I relate. My thoughts and my reflections are exclusively my own—l am not accountable to any person for them. My recollec tions are dear to me, because I alone have a right to them. To divulge them would be to diminish the happiness they afford me. These pages, then, are but as a casket in which I place them, whence I may draw them forth in my old age. " I write these pages in 1789, in my thirty-fifth year. I kept in 'B2 a journal, in which I minutely detailed my travels with Madame la Comtesse du Nord (the Grand Duchess of Russia) to Paris, and from tbenco through Brittany, Normandy, Picardy, Holland, and the Electoral States. I observed the same practice in '34 and 'B6 during two visits I made to Parii, whither I was drawn by the kindness with which Madame la Duchesse de Bourbon deigned to honour me. I combine these journals and these notes to form the history of the first thirty-five years of my life. I speak in it of those that I have known—of facts of which I have been the witness—of the re- markable personages of this century with whom I have been intimately or distantly connected, or with whom I have had either personal or family con nexions. I add some of the letters which have been written to me by 11. I. 11. Madame la Grande Duchesse Marie Fc:eierowna. This august princess, spite of her abode in a foreign land, still entertains for me the deep and tender affection which sprung up in our infancy, and is good enough to write to me some times. My respectful devotedness to this amiable princess is one of the most profound sentiments of my heart. As these memoirs may some day meet the eye of the careless or the cold, I would scruple to inter weave in them that part of our correspondence which is solely confidential. I cannot, however, resist the desire of making my daughter and her children acquainted with this noble mind, this tender heart, and this pure and lofty imagination, which the highest degree of worldly honours has never for a moment been able to corrupt, and which unconsciously reveal themselves in this correspondence." The above remarks dictated by the partiality of friendship, are fully verified by a glance at the cur. respondence to which they refer. The wife of the Grand Duke Paul, Marie Feederowna, during her youth, while residing with her parents at Montbe• lard, and bearing the appellation of Dorothea of Wurtemberg, had been constantly associated with the young daughter of the Count de Weidner, and a most tender affection existed bet weep them from their early years. When the one had been removed from her home to the Imperial Court of Russia, as the bride of the heir apparent, compelled to abandon her religion and her very name, she still regarded with the same warm tenderness the friends of her south and her letters to her early companion, Madame D'Oberkirch, continued to indicate h y hich had now beecsame warm affection, and the same familiar characterized their intercourse durihnsi:beirw girlhood q, as here por at Montbeliard. The Grand I) st fascinving trayed by her friend, is indeed tobutnecen; 8 his wife,year after their and loveable of women. When under the marriage, the Grand Duke and du Nord, visited Paris, title of Count and Cou nte r s of the early reign of and mingled in gaitiestmheadameD , Oberkirch hastened t o Marie-Antoinette , join her friend , a nd parti c ipated with her in the bril liant course of festivities with which the French Sovereigns F welcomed their illustrious guests. ller di ar y kept d u ring this period, . necessarily one of the most attractive portions of her memoirs. The simple tastes and domestic habits of the Baroness, rendered the laborious routine of gaiety some% hat irksome to her, but the companionship of her beloved Princess enchained her at Paris. In a most graceful and natural manner she comments upon the var i ou s remarkable personagesaround her, and en livens her pages with the ane c d o t es o f the day—pages, however, remarkable throughout by the purity of sen • timent and womanly delicacy by which they are char acterized.

Nevertheless, having quoted this extravagant passage, we must, in justice to the writer, remark that, according to her reading of the proverb noblesse oblige, a man of " high birth" must of neces sity be in every sense of the woed a " gentleman," his ancestral honours imposing upon him a weighty re sponsibility. Madame D'Oherkirch, notwithstanding her antiquated opinions iu these matters, is .herself st most delightful individual ; we can easily discover this from her pa ges , a lth oug h s h e i s s i ngularly free f rom egotism, and we may very safely commend her to our readers as a very pleasant acquaintance. Arland Faith ; or, the Harmony of Science aid Scrip • tare. By George Troup. James Bleck wood. Already Mr. George Troup has very frequently displayed his literary abilities —abilities which have stood him in good stead at different times, as editor, now of the Glasgow Daily Mail, and now again of Tait's Magazine. His present volume shows in n somewhat remarkable manner the scope and versa tility of his intelligence. No more comprehensive commentary hats yet appeared upon the vast and almost bewildering subject of the Great Industrial Exhibition. The production reminds the reader in every sentence of the astonishing progress made of late years in the advance movement of practical civil ization. A brilliant evidence of this is afforded in the very initial chapter itself—a chapter which calls to remembrance, in a vivid and startling manner, the difference observable of late years in modern tra velling. Reference has already been made in our leading columns to the enlightened opinions expressed by our author upon the subject of the British North American Railway, by which enterprize the advan tages of modern travelling would be so very marvel lously and inestimably increased. Upon a variety of other subjects, Mr. Troup displays, in the charming little volume under consideration, a no less extended and elevated amount of information. Occasionally he may evince a rather over weening anxiety to prose lytize ; but even this we are disposed—in spite of many evident prejudices— to respect as an additional proof of his sincerity and earnestness. Scarcely any one, however comprehensive his knowledge, can rise from the perusal of the work without having secured an incraise to his stock of intelligence, or without having recognized the tokens of a mind deeply imbued with the responsibility devolving upon the present, and increasingly, of course, upon after generations. If for nothing else, the work would be welcome, inasmuch as it is thus far a provocative of serious meditation. But, in addition to all this, the volume is remarkable, as affording a clue through the laby rinth of doubt and unbelief; separating to many people the seemingly incongruous study of Science and of the Scripture. The notion is not a new one—indeed the project was adventured upon in a less popular form, and with more ostentatious erudition, several years ago, by no less a personage than Cardinal Wee man. It is not, however, through the medium a the more abstruse departments of science and literature, that Mr. Troup is here endeavouring to trace analogies between the records of divine and human knowledge. His endeavour is more directly adapted to the popular appreciation. He writes upon the subject—a subject ever enthral ling no less to the ignorant than to the philoso pher—somewhat in the same homely but delight.. ful strain which Robert Hunt has adopted in his picturesque compositions. George Troup describes in this manner " silver in and out of the mine." He has a beautiful chapter upon " lodine." He has an other upon " Forest Trees," that good old Mr. Evelyn would not have disdained to applaud. He has another called suggestively " Snatches from the Loom," and another " The Fleece and the CIA," and another " The Fuel in the Earth," and another " The - Seed in the Furrows." Expressions like those are of themselves sufficiently attractive. But the volume abounds in other subjects equally commend ing it to general examination. The lover of botanical research will find himself in this manner roused to curiosity by the chapter upon " Weeds and Wild Flowers." The lover of entomology will turn not less willingly to the chapter upon " Art and In sects." The metallurgist will have an interest in the one on " Gold and Silver," and the lapidary in the one en " Diamonds and Pearls." Indeed the volume, compact though it is, presents to its readers scarcely. less diversified allurements (and all of them whole some ones) than were afforded to the visitor to the Crystal Palace by the nave, and the traneepte, and the galleries of the great Industrial Exhibition.

The subjoined Table shows the advantages offered by this Society, resulting from low Premiums, and a division of the entire profits among the Assured : ELEGANT AND USEFUL. MOSES and SON frequently employ three I'4 • words to designate two classes of Goods, one the Depart ment of Luxury and Taste, as that of elegant VESTS and TROWSERS, in ten thousand novel FASHIONS, STYLES, and SHAPES, for which their Establishments are universally celebrated ; the other for those STYLISII inventions in COATS and OVER COATS, for which they have gained a world-wide fame, yet never were three words se practicably used as at the present season. ELEGANCE and USEFULNESS is displayed in such an array of fancy VESTS and TROWSERS as have not been presented on any previous SEASON. But E. MOSES and SON'S innumerable styles of WRAPPERS, CAPES, &c., &c., the names of which are too numerous for recapitulation, and the pecularities of which no words can describe, will, when purchased and worn, be an Incontestible proof of E. MOSES and SON'S entire precedence over every other House—a distinction they have long enjoyed, and which they will never loose. Having purchased to their usual magnificent amount previous to any advance in the price of MATERIALS, their DRESS for this season will be charged very considerably LOWER PRICES, and be FAR BETTER in QUALITY than any offered elsewhere. EMIGRANTS PROVIDE FOR SEA OR LAND. E. MOSES and SON'S OUTFITS are suitable for any passage at any season ; they are prepared for any climate or occupation ; they have been procured by thousands of Emigrants, and at the same low prices, and of the same matchless quality, they can be secured by thousands more. Having many years attended to the OUTFITTING BUSINESS on the largest scale, E. MOSES and SON have the highest credentials of merit, having larger and more tradesmanlike transactions than any other house, they can furnish the moat com plete and the best OUTFITS for the least money, and that every accommodation may be furnished to Emigrants at their Establish ment, they keep a separate department entirely for Outfits.

SOUTHWAIIK.—Dominicho Lombardi, a sickly looking Italian boy, was charged with annoying the family of a Mrs. Harris, whose husband is suffering from bronchitis, by playing on an organ and using abusive language when desired to move away. The case was made out by the evidence of the prose cutrix, who stated- that the abandonment of the nuisance rather then punishment was the object of the prosecu tion. Mr. A'Beckett asked the accused if he could speak English, and was answered by a shake of the bead. The magistrate then addressed him in his native tongue, and he stated in reply that he had come over here from the ❑eighbourhood of Parma, and had been six months in London; that ho was sent here by a padrone he had in Italy to another padrone in Leather-lane, who sent him out about the tows to play the organ, and to give him what money he got in return for his board and lodging, He should like to return to his own country rather than remain here to be subjected any longer to the ill humours of his padrone if he did not bring him home at night what he expected. Mr. A'Becket, perceiving that the unfortunate boy looked extremely ill and half famished, ordered him to be provided with some food, and said that as he had ex pressed a wish to return to Italy, he should lose no time in communicating with some of those benevolent gentle men who interested themselves on the behalf of poor boys who wore inveigled away from their native homes by their heartless fellow-countrymen for gain. THAMES.—Mary Ann Kirwan and Mary TVernham were charged with aiding two men not in custody in committing a garotte robbery. Captain East, a powerful man, stated that he was passing along the Minories, on the way to his ship, at a late hour on Monday night, and was accosted by the prisoners, who entered into conversation with him, and be walked a short distance with them on to Tower Hill, where they were accosted by two men, one of whom struck him a violent blow with his fist, and the other, at the same moment, seized him by the neck, compressed it tightly with his hands so as to nearly produce suffocation, and flung him right over on his back. Ho struggled hard to get away, but the fellow held him down by the neck, while the other vil lain was kicking his hat along. The woman Kirwan made a snatch at his watch directly he was held down, detached it from the guard, and ran away with it. By a powerful effort he released himself from the grasp of the ruffian, threw him off, and called out "Police" as loud as ho was able. Tho two women ran away, and he pursued them and overtook them 20 or 30 yards from the spot where be was attacked, and gave them into cus tody. The watch was afterwards found in the mud. Witness was quite sober. This evidence being confirmed the prisoners were committed for trial. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. It was a full Court. BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL. Alderman COPELAND asked whether the Lord Mayor had received a copy of the evidence or report in this matter? The LORD MAYOR replied in the negative. Sir P. LAURIE said he was very glad that th© Ties _ tion had been put by his hon. friend. Nothing would have given the President and Committee of Bethlehem Hospital greater pleasure than to have forwarded copies of the report of the Commissioners in Lunacy to every governor, but they had been prevented from making such communication by the Secretary of State, for whose ic formation the inquiry was made, and to whom, there fore, strictly speaking, the report at present exclusively lallonged. On receipt of the report and evidence, ou the 21st of February last, the hospital directed copies to be printed for the use of the committee, with a conviction that every governor was not only entitled to a copy, but that it was impossible for them to come to any conclu sion unless the large mass of manuscript was printed, and they were enabled, quietly and at home, to make them selves masters of its contents. The Commissioners in Lunacy, by some means, got scent of that resolution, and immediately made some representation to the Secretary of State, who, by letter of the 27th of March, restrained the printing of the report ; and it was not until the 2d of April, and on the urgent representation of the com mittee of the utter impossibility of dealing with the re port and evidence until they were printed, that the Secretary of State sanctioned the printing, on the condition that "it should be transmitted in the strictest confideece to the members of the committee." (Hear hear.) When the committee obtained the report in a printed form, another difficulty arose from that limited permission. They were unable to comply with the re qaest of the physicians and other officers whose conduct had been so severely commented upon for copies, to enable them to meet the charges against their professional characters and conduct. After repeated applications had been unsuccessfully made by these officers, the committee pressed upon the Secretary of State the necessity of fur nishing the medical officers with copies, and on the 25th of June they were authorised to do so, on condition "that such copies are not made use of for any purpose except that of preparing answers by the officers to the statements made in the report. The answers of the officers were only laid before the committee of the hospital about the middle of last month, when they were referred to a sub-committee, who were charged with the duty of replying to the report of the Commissioners. He felt it most important to mention these circumstances and to particularize these dates, to show that every desire existed on the part of the authorities of the hospital to afford the most complete information on the subject, and that the delay which had occurred in transmitting to the Secretary of State that full and satisfactory answer which he believed would be given to the charges made against the management of the hospital, arose from causes over 1 which the committee had no control. (Hear, hear.) He and the committee felt assured that Mr. Secretary Walpole, in limiting the circulation of the report, bad no other desire than to prevent the publication of weighty charges, until accompanied by the defence of the Go vernors, and he further believed that no such prohibition would have been made, but for the unwarrantable inter ference of the Commissioners in the first instance to prevent the printing of the report. In this peculiar state of things, the Court would see the impossibility of his entering into any particulates ; or of anticipating that answer which was in course of preparation, and which, he repeated, he believed, would be completely satis factory. (Hear, hear.) He would only add, that owing to the most extraordinary manner in which the Com missioners had conducted the inquiry, the Governors bad had no opportunity of knowing the charges against them or of making any defence. (Hear, hear.) In vio lation of the commonest principles of justice and of the hitherto invariable practice of every tribunal, they never informed the governors at large or any ono of the wit nesses examined of the charges, general or specific, which had been brought against them. No one was al lowed to attend the examination on the behalf of the parties accused, nor after the es parte inquisition had been concluded and before the report was agreed upon, were the governors called on for any defence or expla nation whatever. (Hear, hear.) He felt himself pre cluded from adverting to any other topic referred to in the report and evidence at that moment; but , kn o w in g the ease with which charges against lunatic hospitals were made, and the difficulty with which they were rebutted even when totally unfounded, he felt assured that that Court and the public would take a very different course from that adopted by the Commissioners, and that before they formed a conclusion they would bear in mind the in scription on the wall of the court, 1 " Hear both sides." (Hear, hear.) The Commissioners bad certainly t a k en a one-sided view of the question, although it presented innumerable difficulties; but he was convinced the Court and the public would, upon the exposition of the whole of the circumstances, render a full measure of justice. (Hear, Hear.) He believed they were aware that th e Go vernors had appointed a resident physician of great talent and experience, and a reside nt apothecary in every way qualified to perform the duties assigned to that office ; and that they had also appointed a matron of active and firm mind, who would pay incessant attention to the female patients. The increased and increasing number of patients in the institution had rendered such changes necessary, irrespective of any occurrence which might formlground of complaint. It had been long hi s own op i n i on that there should be a resident physici an an d res id ent apothecaries in the hospital. The governors had had such c h a nge for a considerable time in contemplation, and he had no doubt that such a selection had been made, by the appointment of Dr. Wood, of the Colney Hatch Hospital, as resident physician ; Mr. Helps as resident apothecary; and a lady of energy as matron, as would reflect credit upon the institution. (Hear, hoar.) He entertained no doubt that it would be looked upon by foreigners, who continually visited it in great numbers, as a model institution, and th a t i n l os s than a fortnight the charges so hardily brought against the governors would be met with a perfect refutation. (Hear, hoar.) In the meantime he felt th e y were bound, as m en of honour, to the Secretary o f St a t e to reserve any other statement until they sho u ld pl a ce before him their full defence and exculpation. (Cries of " Hear , h ear.") The subject then 'dropped, and the council thoitly gitervroldo odjurned. AWFUL MURDER IN DEVOASHIRE. A most barbarous and shocking murder was cornmite d at the village of Milton, in the parish of Bueltlatei Mo nachorum, on Friday night or Saturday morning lust. This hamlet is situated about four rai!es south west of Tavistock, and about ten mil's teem Plymouth, end the person murdered is a Mrs. M..iry White, a v..itioat, shout sixty years of age, who carried on a small huelcsteet business, Felling tea, c if e, c indles, &c. The old lady bore an excellent character for frugality and honesty. She was last seen alive on Friday eight about eleven o'clock, at which hour she was sitting up for a men named William Glanville, who had gone to Tuvistock, and from whom she expected to receive some lees. l a the course of the evening she had called upon several of her neighbours to have a gossip, and about hulf-paet ten she returned to her house. Shortly afterwards Glan ville brought her the lees, and after she had received them he saw her no more. She lived in the house alone, occupying the lower room of a somewhat miserable cot tage as her shop, and the ap-stairs room was her sleeping apartment. In this room she had a large box, about three feet long, and in this she kept her mon e y, w hi c h was believed by all her neighbours to be con iderable, though no person has been as yet able to state the amount. Mrs White, the deceased, was a smart, active woman, and although about sixty years of age, she was accustomed to milk one of her neigbour's cows, both night and morning. On Saturday morning, therefore, as she did not appear, about eight o'clock one of her neighbours began to speak of its being odd that Mary White had not come down; and shortly after nine one' or two of them tried the door. It was found that the door was locked, and that the key was not inside, where upon one of them got a ladder, and ascended to a win dow over the shop, about 12 feet high, and having cut the fastening, opened it, and crept into the chamber. He saw some one lying in the bed, the bed clothes ap parently undisturbed, and the person being to all appea rance in a calm sleep; but on coming close, and slightly moving the clothes, he found that there was an im mense gash in the throat, and that the person had either committed suicide or had been murdered. He immediately returned to the window, and descended into the street, but so horrorstrickee wits he with what he saw that he thought it was a man, and not Mrs. White, whom he bad known when living, but who was so disfigured by the blood that was about her face that he was unable to recognise her. This person, immedi ately he had come down, ran over to Mr. White's, the brother of the deceased, with whom else her son lived, and there stated what he had seen. Young White elms over, with others, to the house, and a shoemaker, named Westlake, came along with White and one or two other men, and Westlake broke open the door. The party found all below undisturbed. They immediately pro ceeded up stairs, and one of the wee went ferulad earl pulled down the bed-clothes, and then a most awful sight presented itself. The poor woman WEIS floating in a peel of blood; her head had been almost literally severed . from her body. e ds discovered th t it was his mother. p a .- r en end that all tl a e Young White, on seeing her, said that the money-box had had been (An few pence taken, money, with the exception other circumstances, led t . a e for lt a is n supposed instrument, bh and this fact, coupled with et foul murder hed been so Ibteewnabsroakt tenrwo the conviction that was found withthe but must nothing petrated. wha S te e v a e r r ch could have bean i w n a t i s i c t in e: o b se creted himself in th d the murd erer E, room, be hi n d the truckle bed, and that he had ob'ained admis sioninto the cottage in the course of the evening, while the deceased was out.

Bone, and at e l even o n Monday morning a respectable l ur „ o'clock an d evidence taken, of which in the above was imPanerlud ' the principal facts that were e _ . we have stated heated. The son of the deceased, a stolid pereon, seemed to regard the death of his mother, under the circumstances, u with, to say the least, great calmness. closely as to the quarrels that had occurred between himself and his mother. It is a singular fact that the son went to Tavistock on Saturday for Merritt, and asked him to come over to Milton, as a woman had been murdered, and it w as some t i me b e f ore M err i tt l earne d that this " woman" was his own mother. In the course of the day a man named Corner was taken into custody on suspicion, but was liberated, there being no evidence to warrant his being detained. The inveetigation Wll9 continued till seven in the evening, when, there being no further evidence, the inquiry was adjourned till the 13th inst. An application will probably be made to the Go vernment to offer a reward for the apprehension of the murderer.

It is to leave the Stockton a nd Darlington at a short distance west of the Darlington station, and, passing Pierce Bridge, Gainford, and Newsham, c ill termir-:.a in Galegate-street, at Barnard Castle.
