AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly , interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency ; these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption, Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which, (luring his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive practice, has invariably proved successful; with concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

By the COUNTESS DOWAGER MOUNTCASHELL. Revised and augmented by the Author. 4. * * The observations and advice contained in this little work are chiefly the result of the author's own experience ; and when they are founded on the information of others, that information has been examined with the strictest attention. The book is the production of many years' study and reflection ; and the author cannot help flattering herself that it will be of use to those for whom it is designed—the anxious Mother, the attentive Governess, and the careful Nurse. Long experience and much observation have induced her to belio,e, that a great number of the diseases which afflict the human race, are the effects of imprudence and neglect in the early part of life ; and that by constant and judicious attention to the physical education, during the first fifteen years, many of these diseases might be avoided. For this reason she is anxious to diffuse amongst her own sex, a species of knowledge which may enable mothers to educate their children with better prospects of health and happiness ; and perhaps, occasion them to take a greater interest in the welfare of their offspring, by proving how it depends on their attention.

The numbers present could not have been less than from 1,000 to 1,200. Among the company we observed a number of elegantly dressed ladies. On the platform were, Sir Francis Burdett, M. P. ; Mr. Hume, M. P. ; Mr. D. W. Harvey, M. P. ; Mr. Tennyson, M. P. ; Col. Leith Hay; M. P. ; Mr. Pease, M. P. ; -Mr. Tooke, M. P.: Mr. Basil Mon tague, and others. Dr. BIRKBECK was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN commenced the business of the evening by observing that another year had passed away, and by congra. tulating the members of the Institution on the progress it had continued to make. Their success was certain. Edacation was now progressing every where ; and all the opposition which the advocates of education had formerly to encounter was now at an end. The number of their members was 1,112, while the members of the Mechanics' Institution in Manches ter were 1,232, and in Liverpool, 1,206. Sir F. BURDETT then rose amidst loud cheering, and moved the following, namely : " That in the actnal condition, in the already manifested results, and in the future promise of the London Mechanics' Institution, this meeting finds abundant matter for warm congratulation, with all those enlightened men who saw and taught that the surest means of bettering a community, were to attempt the improvement of the elements which compose it, by giving to every individual the oppor tunity of acquiring, at the easiest cost to himself, more knowledge, more wisdom, and a better training of action and of thought, than had, by previous institutions, been within his reach, and who sought the attainment of their ends by the foundation and support of establishments like this, now so flourishing and so productive of good fruits." The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. D. W. HARVEY proposed the next resolution : " That the acquirements made by Members of the London Me chanics' Institution, as displayed on this and on former like occa sions of the anniversary of the foundation of the institution, testify to the completeness and to the correctness of the scheme on which it was originally organized ; and show to demonstration that it possesses the means of furnishing to its students all those opportu nities of self-improvement which, when sedulously cultivated, cannot fail to raise the individual to higher regard in his social re lations, and to purer satisfaction to his personal feelings." The resolution was agreed to. Mr. HustE moved the next resolution— " That the London Mechanics' Institution, and all which, like it, are actively engaged in the practical dissemination of useful know ledge, and of the elements of profitable art, deserve, as in this country, in its actual state of mental development, they are sure to secure, the kindest support and the most cordial aid of all en lightened men and true philanthropists." Mr. DEPPAY moved the next resolution, as follows : " That to all those who, from. enlarged views, from liberal senti ment, and from kindly feelings towards their species, have con duced by their countenance, their co-operation, or their pecuniary aid, to spread and to support institutions like this, the grateful ac knowledgments of this meeting are due, and are now with warmth and sincerity respectfully tendered." The resolution was agreed to unanimously ; after which the Meeting separated. A regular yokel, passing through Chertsey on the last market day, and seeing some gold fish suspended in a glass globe in a window, looked in stupid amazement at them for some time, and then declared it was the first time he had ever seen red herrings alive I— Windsor Express. THE RATHCORMAC TITHE SLAUGHTER.—III the King's Bench, on Tuesday, the Chief Justice delivered the judgment of the Court in this case—that the inquisitions must be quashed, on the ground of impropriety on the part of the coroners in taking lists from interested parties from which to select jurors. The court should also admit the objection, that time was not specified in the requisitions, although they did not make it ground for granting the application on behalf of the defendant. THE KAFIRS.— The recent incursions of these wild tribes upon Graham's Town, and the panic created even at Cape,Town itself, have naturally drawn our attention to the latest work on South Africa—Lieut. Moodie's " Ten Years in South Africa"—a most amusing book, and particularly in teresting, as presenting to us a recent account of the Kafirs, of whom it gives many curious and highly entertaining par ticulars. It is a capital practical work for the emigrant ;as it relates the life of a settler during ten years in this country. Lieutenant Moodie describer the wild sports of Africa with great spirit. WESTMINSTER HALL.—The repairs in the inte rior of this ancient structure are near completion. The eastern window, and the gate at the entrance, present a new face. Both the openings which led to the old Duchy of Lan caster Court are closed up. Instead of the rough surface which time had made upon the walls, there is now a neat smooth facing of Bath stone, which gives to the fabric a clean modern appearance. When the pave is laid, and the steps leading to the Law Courts properly raised, the Hall will be worthy the inspection of those who admire this vestige of the Palace of our Norman Kings. Th e old cornice, consisting of portions of the armorial bearings of Edward the Confcs ,- ,or and Richard the Second, which has been re-sculptured„ is quite finished. It forms an interesting feature in the (qua mental work. HUNGERFORD.

TRIESTE, MAY 4.—We have agreeable news from Athens. Th e c i ty i s d a ily i m p rov ing in beauty ; houses spring up like mushrooms, and at this moment have risen to twice their value. What may be exp:eted when the iron railroad betwcen Corinth and Athens shall be completed? A French has undertaken to connect Corinth and the Piraeus by an iron railroad. He has not only obtained the permission of the Government, but the ground has been given him gratis. The money for the execution of the plan is secured by a subscrip tion in Paris. The efpense is estimated at between two and three millions of francs. Compared with the usual expense of an iron railroad among us, this is a small sum, and only to be accounted for by the circumstance that the rails RR' made in England, and that wages are low in Greece. The 501. Plate alone requires any particulars in additi‘on to those from the Heath :—Brother to Mosquito made play to the bushes, where Castaway, Spinning Jenny, Darioletta, and the Glama went by him, and ran in company to the bottom ; here Castaway took a decided lead, maintained it to the finish, and won cleverly by a length ; the other horses placed were tolerably well together, but Brother to Mosquito and the Agnes filly were beaten off, The 5 sovs. Stakes were divided (50s. each) ! We, trust that no prejudi cial inference will be drawn from this ; it was a joke, and, as it turned out, a very good one, for a more sporting race has not often been seen.

IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK.—By order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests the public rides and drives in Hyde Park are undergoing a thoroughly complete making up and repair, the carriageways being all repaved, and the crown of the roads raised sufficiently to drain off the wet over shelving sides, while the whole is being thickly covered with a heavy stratum of large and durable gravel and fine granite. To obviate the stoppage of the carriage thorough fare of the Park, and the inconvenience that would conse quently arise, the work is being carried on in small detached portions, and for its early completion two hundred workmen and labourers are now busily employed. MILL'S AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY.—A meeting of the creditor's of Messrs. Mills, Jowett, and Mills, the ex tensive printers, was held yesterday, at the Court of Bank ruptcy, for the proof of debts and the declaration of a dividend. The amount of proofs against the estate is already 18,000/. A dividend of threepence in the pound was ordered to be declared. --------- "MY LIFE, " BY THE AUTHOR OF " STORIES OF WATERLOO."—" This is a story of the right sort," observes the Naval and Military Gazette,—" it is the production of that popular writer, the author of " Wild Sports of the West." &c., and is crowded with adventure, frolic, passion, and dramatic situation of every kind. Captain Blake, the supposed autobiographer, is an Irishman, who, being released from paternal restraint by the early death of his father, launches prematurely into the pleasures of life, with which, as well as of its pains, he becomes more acquainted than most men. His adventures are full of excitement and interest, and the scenes depicted by him alternate rapidly from grave to gay, from lively to severe. This quickness in the change of incident imparts great animation to the pages of the work, every part of which will be eagerly perused. We know not, indeed, whether most to admire the comic or the tragic portions both are equally true and intense, from the wild caprices of " Jack the Devil," to the harrowing scene in the ruffians' dsn near London, or the night adventure on the plains of Waterloo. We have been excessively entertained by this eventful novel, and cannot give better advice to our readers than in earnestly recommending them to follow our example, and submit them selves to the spell of its pages." Counsel for prisoners is often allowed criminals in the Parisian courts. A thief was one day caught in the very act of cutting a purse. An advocate was appointed for the prisoner to have his advice : when the latter drew the prisoner aside—" Is it true that you cut so-and-so's purse ?" "It is, Sir," said the thief, " but ----" " Hold your tongue," said the advocate ; " the best advice I can give you is to be off as quickly as possible." The thief followed the advice, and re treated down stairs. The advocate then returned to his seat, when the president inquired what he had to say in defence of the prisoner ? " Gentlemen," said he, " the poor fellow has co Zessed his crime, and as he was left unguarded, and I named his coun:_al, I thought it best to advise him to take flight : he did not but, upon this advice, immediately disappeared." This gave rise to . I ,:uch mirth ; but no blame could attach to it was the the advocate duty of the bench to regulate the practice of th court, ; an d o f ti ,:e gaolers to keep their eyes on the prisoner, and prevent his escape. A recent letter from New York annt;:lnces the fall of the Table Rock at the Falls of Niagara. This imiulense mass of stone was on the Canada 'side of the river, projecting so as to afford the spectator a front view of the horseshoe fall. I.! was considerably undermined, and some fissures on the surface had for some time past indicated the disruption. A large mass was detached two or three years back. By the total fall of the Table Rock the visiter is now deprived of the most favourable position for viewing the magnificent appearance presented by that stupendous fall of waters. On Monday nigllt, as a policeman of the D division was proceeding on his dui; through Seymour-mews, Portman square, his attention was dray C:q to an object on a dunghill, which proved to he an elderly gen tleman, between 50 and 60, respectably dressed, apparently lifeless. The unfortunate gen tleman was conveyed immediately to Mevlebone infirmary, but though every endeavour was used by the g:'lrgeons to re store animation, all'proved ineffectual. The body has not yet been owned. YV SHOCKING ACCIDENT. The coachman of Robert Aldridge, Esq., of New Lodge, near Horsham, re ceived so severe a kick from one of the horses in his master's stable on Sunday morning, that he could not be removed from the premises. He lingered in great agony until the follow ing day, and then died. The unfortunate man has left a widow and two children in the greatest distress. —Brighton Guar dian. WAITERS.—This useful and industrious class of individuals are about to form a Society, to be called the " Amicable Association of Waiters." Several preliminary meetings have taken place, and a general public meeting is to be held this week to explain the advantages to be derived from such an Association. Among other regulations it is proposed to have a registration of vacancies, for the mutual advantage of tavern.keepers and waiters ; advancements or loans (if re quired) on taking a situation, on approved security ; and relief in sickness, old age, or infirmity. A gentleman in Northampton has tried the experi ment of growing an acorn in a hyacinth glass on the mantel piece with perfect success ; it was suspended in the end of November, and the germ made its appearance in January. The stem is now about nine inches in length, and is covered with leaves. The root is not the least curious part of the nlant, and is very long and abundant. Within the last few weds the water, which had hitherto retained its clearness, has b ecom e ,;_f: a bright brown colour. It forms a curious, and, at the same timt:'; beautiful ornament. On Saturday, at the Brentford Petty Sessions, the overseer of. Heston appi;:ed to have distress warrants signed against some of the poorer inhabitants for arrears of poor rates, amounting to from 2s. 61. to 4s. Mr. Pownall, how ever, said he would not sanction such grj.nding of the poor, but would send the cases back for the consideration of the vestry. The overseer said it would be of no avail, as two vestries had decided that all rates should be paid. The Chairman declared it to be the opinion of the Bench that the parish of Heston were running their poor rate payers too close, and returned the overseer the warrants unsigned. A girl about 13 years of age, in the service of Mr. Bedford, at the Cross Keys, Warlloys, has been committed to Huntingdon Gaol, charged with having set fire to her master's house, and also some stacks of straw in a yard adjoining. It appears that several attempts have been made lately to rob the house, which induced the occupier, in company with other persons, to watch the premises by night ; notwithstanding this precaution, it was discovered that repeated attempts were also made to burn the premises, which would have Been done had not a number of persons been on the spot instantly to render assistance, and put a stop to the fire before it had made material progress. Several men were suspected, and one of them was taken into custody, but for want of evidence discharged. Subsequently to this some suspicious circumstances attached to the girl, and she was conveyed before Sir John Arundel, and committed for re-examination. The case at present appears to be involved in a considerable degree of mystery.— Northarapton Mercury. Q UEEN- S Q UARE. Yesterday John Wigley, a powerful young man, of deter mined exterior, was brought up in custody before Mr. SHUTT, the sitting magistrate, charged with creating a dis turbance at the Westminster Theatre on the previous ;;fight, and violently assaulting Mr. Daniel Nicholson, a genti67.?au connected with the establishment. The defendant was called upon to pay a fine of 10s., or be imprisoned for ore month it; the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A PAUPER.—A little old woman, very comfortably dressed, named Tomkins, came yesterday I.,•efore Mr. Co- NANT, to complain that the parish officers of St. James's had turned her out of the poor-house. Mr. Bryant, the overseer, having caused her to be sworn, the following dialogue ensued : Mr. Bryant—Have you been receiving relief twenty years from this parish ? Pauper—Oh, more than twenty years. I have had relief since 1811. Mr. Bryant—How long have you been in the work house? Pauper—About ten years. Mr. Bryant—What sum of money have you in the funds? Pauper—Only 148/. Mr. Bryant—Will you swear it is not 248/. ? Pauper —I don't think it is so much. Mr. Bryant—Do not your relations allow you 10/. a year besides ? Pauper—Not so much. I get one .or tw cs sovereigns at a time. Mr. Bryant—You are one of the money lenders to the paupers, for which you get a large interest, I think? Pauper—l don't know anything about that. Mr. Bryant—Are there not several persons in the work house now who have funded prDperty ? Pauper—l don't trouble my head with other people's business. Mr. Bryant said he would not take up the Magistrates' time by going further into the case. He would re-admit the old woman, and take the sense of the parochial board as to the propriety of retaining her in the workhouse. A BRIDESMAID.—Among the night charges brought be fore Mr. CHAMBERS was a young female, who placed her self at the bar like Niobc, " all tears," adorned with a s plendid blue satin bonnet, pink feathers, and white muslin robe, trimmed with pink and blue, to match. To this attractive exterior, she added the taking name of Miss Julia Arizbella Divine, against which, in the police sheet, was placed the unpleasant words of " drunk, and incapable of taking care of herself." Mr. CHAMBERS—Why, how is this, Miss Julia? You were found drunk last night: Miss Julia—l was inwited out to pact as bridesmaid at a friend's nuptial vedding. Mr. CHAMBERS — Brit that was no reason why you should get drunk. Miss Julia (looking down and blushing) —Unfortunately I took too much vite vine on my wittles. Mr. CHAMBERS—What are you ? Miss Julia—l'm assistant ironer in a laundry. Mr. CHAMBERS—WeII, get home, Miss Julia, and don't let me see you here again. Miss Julia dried up her tears and tripped out of the bar with a very graceful movement. Oats. Beans. Pease 8. tO S. 22 30 ' 36 37 36 45 - 90 34 42 34 40 3. to 8. 8. to 8. 38 ..- 33 - 42 M MARKETS.

POLITICS AND BLACK EYES.—On Tuesday a tall man, of gentlemanlike appearance, was brought up from the station-house in the Southwark-bridge-road, having been discovered in the neighbourhood at a late hour of the night with his head and face very much disfigured. A policeman of the M division stated that, between twelve and one o'clock on the preceding night, a man of respectable appearance called at the station house, and gave information that a gentleman had been very much beaten , in the road, and that his adversary had ran away. Witness proceeded to the spot, and found a gentleman there with his head and face cut and bleeding profusely. He appeared to be stupified, but witness would not undertake to say whether it arose from blows or liquor. With a view to take care of him he was conveyed to the station-house. The gentleman on hearing the statement felt much obliged to the police for the care they had displayed on the occasion. He begged, however, to state that he was not under the influence of liquor of any description at the time that-he wo so brutally used ; the facts were that he was a Tory from principle, and happening to meet with a man ;.-pposed to bin, in politics, they entered into an argument, in the course of his opponent, finding that he (the gentleman) was gett:ng the better of him, and that he had fl,,, re d" him on the L piestion of the late change in the Administration, his cowat.dly . adversary then had recourse to brute strength instead fair argument, and attacked him with his fists. re the discussion took The MAGISTRATE inquired whi: place The complainant said he met ti!.ie Whig in the street, that he was a stranger to him, that they entered casually into conversation as they happened to be gob:g in the same direction, and that as he (complainant) never disguised his principles, he advocated them as strenuously as his abilities would allow, and the result was, added he, " the bend and face I now exhibit." The MAGISTRATE said that the complainant had not ex hibited much discretion in entering on politics with a stranger in the street, and asked him if he was affected with wine or any other description of liquor at the time —Complainant—l appeal to the policeman whether I was drunk. The policeman really could not say ; Ile (the gentleman) however, appeared to have more strength in his head, than in his legs ; for they were obliged to carry him to the station-house. Complainant—" I can explain the reason of that. I ant martyr to the gout, and the brutality used towards me by the Whig who assaulted me brought on a fit of my old complaint. The complainant then exclaimed " I'm a Tory to the back bone ; I exult in it, and don't care what I suffer in the good cause. I was once attacked and half killed by a Whig in Manchester, but I don't ere for that, we'll get the better of them yet." Sergeant M'Craw said that the complainnt appeared to be labouring under great pain in the legs when he was brought to the station-house, and he was provided with brandy, with which he fomented them. Care was taken, the Sergeant said, that he did not take it internally. The MAGISTRATE regretted much to see a respectable man, let him be of what politics he might, placed in the situation that the complainant had been. He, however, had in a great measure brought it all upon himself, in con sequence of his folly in making an acquaintance with a stranger, and then entering into questions of party feeling. As, h o wever, the complainant could not identify his as sailant, or give any infrirmation where lie was likely to be found to answer for tile assault, the matter must there fore drop. The complainant, having made his obeisance to the Ma gistrate, and expressed his thanks for the attention paid him at the station-house, then withdrew. THAMES OFFICE. A. long investigation took place yesterday before Mr.. BALLAPTINE and Mr. CoostaE, respecting the death of a. seaman named Dempster, alleged to have been caused by Captain Janes Smith, master of the Hero of Malown, East Indiamao, now lying in St. Katherine's Dock. A mutiny broke out on the 2d of February last, and the de ceased, who participated in the disobedience of orders, received, at the command of the Captain, five dozen lashes. He died on the 12th of April following. The testimony of the surgeon of the ship, Mr. Archibald Brown, was to the effect that the deceased was on his list from the 3d to the Gth of February. The man went on duty from the Gth to the 13th of February, and then went off, in consequence of the sickness prevalent througi2out the ship from the bad ness of the bread ; which, coupled with the weather, was the cause of the illness under which the deceased laboured. Dempster was convalescent from the 25th of February to the 16th of March. On the 26th of March he was at tacked with illness through exchanging his ,Tress for light clothing, contrary to orders. He was then seized with acute inflammation of the liver, intense pain in the ,side, and parched tongue He remained so up to the period of his death. From a post mortem examination, the surgeon was of opinion that the death of the deceased did net arise from the punishment, although, being a man of very keen feel ings, the recollection of the flogging might have kept up the disease. Dempster had not been on the doctor's list before the flogging. After a patient hearing of the whole case, the Magistrates declared that there was no imputation on 'Captain Smith for the death of Dempster ; but, in order to give the crew an opportunity of going before the Grand Jury, and to satisfy the public mind, they should require him t' put in bail to the amount of 2001., to appear at the next Admiralty Sessions. The Bench did not think there was a sufficient justification for flogging Sinallpiece, another sailor. Captain Smith immediately entered into the re quired sureties. Taylor, the principal witness against the Captain, requested his papers to be returned, and said he should go to the sessions, for Captaia Smith had excited the disturbance complained of, and dogged the men.
