The principles of the Ilygeian theory are contained in the follow ing propositions :- 1. The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blow], or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. S. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. S. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to be such proper ♦egetable purgative. 8. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. REMOVED TO 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. DR.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment •f several oondltions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused Abe prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, Shan any other to which it is subiect. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can b e of more importance than the preservation of the health an d a 01 the physical capabilities of which every man should posseand.

Cook, Sons, and Co., warehousemen, &c., of St. Paul's Churchyard. Owing to the timely assist ance of the workmen on the premises the damage was confined to the destruction of twenty-five cotton dress pieces, some waistcoat pieces, and the demolition of eighteen squares of glass. In making his return to the insurance offices Mr. Braidwood gives the following "cause of fire:"—A linen curtain, which hung before the top floor back window, took fire at the open part , of the window first. The window faces the south, and being higher than the opposite buildings, is completely exposed to the sun. The firm is insured in eleven of the principal fire-offices in London and the county. ALLEGED ATTEMPT AT MURDER DT A SOLDIER IN CARLISLE GARRlSON.—Considerable e sensation has been created in the Castle and its neighbourhood by a report that a private of the 30th Regiment of Foot, of which a company is now stationed in our garrison, had attempted to shoot Sergeant Doherty, of that regiment. The private is named Gleeson, and from what has trans pired his motive appears to have arisen out of an im pression that he had received unnecessarily harsh treat ment at the hands of the sergeant. On Wednesday forenoon, between eleven arid twelve o'clock, Gleeson was observed by two other soldiers, who were in the same room, to load his musket. After placing it aside, he went below to another room, wherein were sitting Ser geant Doherty and several privates, reading. Gleeson asked Sergeant Doherty to come up stairs, as he had something there he wished to show him. '1 he sergeant, however, appeared indifferent about it, and simply replied that he was busy, on which Gleeson returned by himself to the room above. Five minutes had hardly elapsed before a footstep was heard on the stairs, and Gleesou, most probably expecting that it was the sergeant coming up, seized the musket (which was loaded with ball cart ridge and capped), and presented it at the man who en tered the room, who proved to be Corporal Fuller. Pri vale Cuthbert rushed upon Gleeson, and wrested the firelock from him before the trigger was snapped. Had he not succeeded, probably the curporul would have re ceived a deadly wound from a charge which was intended for the seargeant. Gleeson was immediately secured and conveyed to the guard-room. Yesterday (Thursday) morning, Gleeson was examined before Capt. Wilkinson, when he stated that Sergeant Doherty had reported him and got him confined three days to barracks, for alleged dilatoriness in the ranks. Be also complained of the c m o e n n d t u , c w t o i o f , h e nun-commissionedsaid,whenever theyofficers whe is ofd the to s friendlyfei ling,were in the habit of reporting the private s, sv t h an Regi ment, eugni to the adjutant, for alleged misconduct or negligence, and the adjutant generally ordered them on " instruction drill" till further orders, as a punishment. This, Gleeson said, was not the case in any other regiment. Gleeson remains in the guard-room, awaiting trial on the charge. —Carlisle Journal. ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —An accident which had nigh been attended with most serious, if not fatal consequences, occurred on Friday afternoon on the Newmarket portion of the Eastern Counties Railway. It appears from the inquiries made at the London terminus that the Newmarket Company run no laggage or good trains, but introduce luggage vans and trucks into their passenger trains. On Friday afternoon the 3 30 p.m. train left Newmarket at its cus tomary time for London, and proceeded on its journey to Dullingham, which is the first station, four miles from Newmarket, the whole of which distance the line is along an inclined plane up hill. At Dullingham the train was stopped, and the engine, with a van, which is a break carriage, was detatched, and turned into a siding for the purpose of fetching,an addition to the train, con sisting of two or three luggage trucks, going to town, leaving the train on the main line, nearly at the top of the hill. The train, however, when detached from the engine and van, made a retrograde momement, whether impelled by its own weight downward is not known, but it continued its ;progress, its speed increasing as it des cended the hill, until it dashed with great force into the Newmarket terminus, from which it had started, to the no small consternation of the passengers, who were most of them thrown violently from theiriseats by the force of the concussion. Every assistance was immediately afforded them; surgeons were sent for, and were in prompt attendance, when it was found, on examination, that four persons only had sustained serious injury. One of them was a lady, who exhibited some severe cuts and contusions about the head and face. Another had the appearance of ajockey, who, in addition to similar injuries, was much bruised. The above is the first ac cident of the kind that has happened since the opening of the Newmarket line.—Observer. DEATH BY DROWNING.—Last night, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, a boy of the name of Mills, about ten years of age, was accidentally drowned in the Regent's canal, near the Maiden-lane-bridge. It appears that the deceased was standing on the towing path, at the time that a barge was coming along, when the rope attach e d t o t h e b arge caught the de ceased and precipitated him into the canaL The drags were immediately sent for, but before they arrived the body was got out by a boy, who plunged into the canal after the poor fellow, quite dead, it having been under the water about six minutes. The body now lies at the Albion public house, Maiden-lan e , Battle-brid ge . ADJOURNED INQUEST ON M R . W. DALTH.—Last night Mr. W. Payne, the City coroner, resumed at the Parochial School-room, Church-passage, Shoemakers'- row, Blackfriars, the adjourned inquiry touching the death of Mr. W.

Two witnesses having been e xam i ne d , at the request of the legal gentlemen present, the inquiry was again adjourned to Tuesday (this day week), to the London Coffee-house, the present room being found too small. _ _ The state of the unemployed, both in Edinburgh and Glasgow, is exciting much anxiety.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD Collll7'. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman W. HUNTER.) CHARGE OF STEALING A PICTURE OF THE VALUE OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS.—Mr. Henry Gont pertz, a very respectable•looking man, surrendered to his ba►l to answer an indictment charging him with stealing a picture of the value of 1501., the property of John W. Wren. Mr. Cockburn attended specially for the prosecution, and Mr. Crowder for the defendant. Mr. COCKBURN, immediately upon the jury being charged, said that after reading the depositions he had not the slightest hope of being able to convict the party. accused, and therefore, on the part of the prosecution, he declined occupying the Court with a prosecution that he felt convinced must fall. The RECORDER observed that the transaction was an enormous contract, an enormous deposit, and a slight result. The jury then, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found Gumpertz Not Guilty, and he left the court surrounded by his friends. This case, we understand, has been adjourned, from session to session, for some time. SHEEP STEALING.—John Webb and George King were convicted of feloniously killing a sheep, the property of John Scratton Thompson, and stealing th e carcase, at Barking, on the 19th of April last, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Alfred Grazert, a youth 19 years of age, who had been in the service of Viscount Jocelyn, pleaded Guilty to an indictment chargi ng hi m with feloniously forging a warrant and order for the payment of 101., with intent to defraud William Prirg, Lord Jocelyn, who had been in court all the morning, immediately upon the prison er pl ea di ng g uilty, re quested the permissi on o f the Court to make a few observations on his behalf. The prisoner had been in his service up to the date of the transaction, and he had never entertained the slightest suspicion of his honesty until this charge was brought against him. He now believed that he had formed some bad connexions, which be was most anxious he should get rid of; and if the Court could consistently with its duty, pass upon the prisoner a light sentence, he (Lord Jocelyn) would make arrangements by which the prisoner should be sent out to sea for three years, and by that means get rid of acquaintances that would lead him to ruin. He was in hopes that this course would be the means of reclaiming the prisoner, and ultimately make him a good member of society. The prisoner cried bitterly during this recommenda tion to mercy by his noble and feeling master. The RECORDER sentenced him to six months im prisonment in Newgate, observing that the offence was one which required punishment, and that any remission of the sentence of the Court must be made by the Se cretary of State ; or any representation to whom, on behalf of the prisoner, he would join the Noble Lord, who had so kindly exerted himself on behalf of the prisoner. STREET. BOW- --(THIS DAY.) Frederick Study w as charged before Mr. Jardine with creating a disturbanc e at the Golden Cross hotel. Mr. Gardner, of th e Gold Charing cross, said that on Sunday en Cross hotel, his house with a w evening the prisoner came to woman, and ran D remained till the morning, wh en u ' a score of 21. Ile h e we nt away without paying. At night he returned in company with the same woman. He was drunk. He a nd threatening langua ge . His made use of abusive conduct was so violent that it became necessary in custody. Mr. George Radley, of Radley' s h o t e l, Bridge street, Blackfriars, said that on Sunday morning the prisoner a was drinking at his house with woman. They remained till night, and went away without paying. The prisoner addressed the Ma gi strate • in a very vehe ment manner, informing him that he was the •` uncle of Judge Study," that he had served in the E. I. C. service, was invalided in 1843, being then a Lieutenant, was pro prietor of the whole Island of Newfoundland, and never was drunk in his life. The prisoner then went on to say that he was on terms of intimacy with Lords Hardinge, Gough, and others, and to mention Some persons to whom he ' was known in L o ndon p • among others to Dr. Scott. He wound up by saying that he ' had had the cholera • four times, fever twice, and sun-stiolie since;' that he had three bullets "in him" at that moment, and shared every morning with " poor Sale's razor." Mr. JARDINE put the prisoner back in order to send to Dr. Scott and inquire of th,t gentleman if he knew any of the prisoner's friends, kkitivis clear the prisoner's mind was not in a sound state. It was afterwards intimated that some of the pri soner's friends wound attend in thcconrse of the day. MYSTERIOUS MURDER. :.1 ~1., .trivait (THIS DAY-) About half-past ieven o'clock this morning the utmost , a ,,• , , . consternation Was create t u 06 neighbourhood of Houndaditch, by the discovery of the body of a child, about six years of age, in the back yard of the house, No. 16, Tenter-street, Spitalfields. Information was instantly conveyed to the station -house, Leman-street, when, on inquiry, it was found that the child, whose death was caused by strangulation, a handkerchief being fastened tightly round the throat, was the son of a person name Lazarus, living at No. 26 in the same street He was last seen at home at six o'clock on the previous night, being at the time dressed in a new suit of corduroy, of which he was stripped, after having been murdered; and the possession of this paltry pro perty is the only accountable motive for the abominable crime. At half-past eleven o'clock two men in their shirt sleeves, in a high state of excitement, were seen drag ging an ill-favoured masculine looking woman towards the station-house in Leman-street, Whitechapel, sur rounded by a crowd. The rumour was, that she was in custody for the murder of her own child, and it was with great difficulty that the police were able to prevent the women, who formed the larger portion of the crowd, from tearing her to pieties. W hen taken to the sta tion-house she gave the name and address, Sarah Rogers,y 14, Ang e l-court, Stony - lan e, Houndaditch. The p ri mer evidence against her was , that whilst in the mo b who were discussing the murder in the Tenter -ground, she was heard to say, that she knew the person who a pur chased the clothes of the m urdered bo y , and that man in Bridewell- alley could throw a light upon the matter.

IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, MONDAY, Six P.M.—The trial of Mr. S. O'Brien is not yet concluded. The jury are not expected to appear, as there are repealers on it. Mitchell's jury lists reduced to-day. Vast crowds about the courts. All tranquil. TRIAL OF MR. W. S. O'BRIEN, M.P. (From the Duilin oozing Mail.) QUEEN'S BENCH Mom:oar. This day having been s eci doorsur.were of Mr. W. S. O'Brien, the p Fou e r aPPeinte4 Long before nine o'clock theeobesieged d tr b ia y l of intense excitement at an early ohurts preiented a scene a great number of barristers and persons an xi ous to obtain admittance. A tremendous place, and th e b o d y of the court rush for pl aces took speedily crowded to excess. and g a ll ery were Upon entering the cour t • 0 Mr. O'Brien cheered from the gall e ri es , an d by a was loudly . small number o f barristers from the front b enc h of the jun i or bar. Mr. Meagher was similarly received • and when Mr. took Butt, Q.C., entered the court and his seat, he was also greeted with like applause. The Attorney-General, Mr. Sergeant Warren, Mr. Henn, Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Perrin atten d e d on behalf . of the Crown. At half-pas ten the Chief Justice took his seat on the bench, and the Clerk of the Crown immediately com menced calling over the special jury panel. Thenam es of the jurymen were as follows :—John Fitzgerald, foreman ; William Willans, James Power, Robert Dil lon, John Andrew Sweetman, Benjamin Lee Guineas, Charles Foster Dowling, Arthur C. Taylor, George Fairbrother, David Henry Sherrard, Sir John Ribson, and Henry Charles Horner. Mr. PEnniti opened the proceedings on the part of the Crown. He informed the jury that the traverser at the bar had been arraigned upon an ex-officio informa tion, charging him with being a wicked, seditious, and turbulent person, he having delivered a speech on the 15th of March last, in the parish of St. Thomas, for the purpose of exciting hatred and contempt against the Queen of Ireland, and inducing the people to rise in rebellion ; to which charge the traverser had pleaded not guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court in a speech of great length. Mr. Hodges, the Government reporter, was then sworn and examined by Mr. Sergeant Warren, on behalf of the Crown, after which, Mr. Burr, Q.C., rose and addressed the jury on the part of the traverser in an eloquent speech, after one portion of which the majority of the bar, together with the ladies and gentlemen in the galleries, rose es masse, and loudly applauded the sentiments of the Learned Gentleman. The Corner intimated that if such a manifestation was repeated the court should be cleared. The Learned Gentleman concluded his speech about four o'clock. Mr. Sergeant WARREN then addressed the Court in re ply. At half-past five o'clock the Chief Justice commenced his address to the jury, and at ten minutes to six . was left speaking. The trial has created considerable excitement. About nine o'clock this morning large crowds of persons con nected with the Confederation Clubs assembled in the neighbourhood of Westland-row, where Mr. O'Brien lodges. After drawing up in regular order opposite his residence, and loudly cheering the honourable gentleman, they passed through the principal streets to the Courts. The order and regularity of the procession was remark able. Upon arriving at the Four Courts, the gates of which were locked and guarded by a strong police force, the several clubs dispersed, loudly cheering Mr. O'Brien, who was accompanied by one of his securities and Mr. Meagher, and several gentlemen connected with the Repeal party. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The performance last night was given in aid of the fund for the endowment of a perpetual curatorship of Shakspere's house. The pieces selected were The Merry Wives of Windsor and the old farce of Animal Magnet ism, acted by the same amateurs who, some short time since, made a similar essay at Manchester. Ho%ever worthy the purpose of last night's exhibition, we doubt whether the histrionic talent displayed will realise it. It would indeed be passing strange, when a really well acted play may be witnessed at the common playhouse price, that an audience should be attracted by an im measurably inferior performance, and at a much higher cost. Acting is not so facile as many suppose, and the amateurs of last night are gentlemen whose habitual pur suits would prevent the acquirement of a knowledge of an art, the mechanical part of which requires lengthened study and continuous practiae. The truth told, amateur performances should be exhibited only under the favour• ing auspices of relations and friends, for at least they are but tolerable and not to , be endured," and the ruling difficulty is " who is the most senseless and fit man." Many names celebrated in literature and art, among which may be signalised Mr. Charles Dickens, Mr. Frank Stone, Mr. George Cruikshank, and others of lesser fame, supported the several characters with more or less amateur success, but with assuredly not the talent to procure the humblest engagement in a metropolitan theatre. The readings were, as might be expected, in teLigent ; but there was no cohesion—no harmony— each actor seemed determined to do the best for himself without reference to the general effect, and hence the play was crude and ineffective. The house was but moderately attended. His EXCELLENCY LORD HOWDEN.—Her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of the Emperor of Brazil is expected to arrive in London from Rio Janeiro in the course of the present week. His Excellency's lady, the Princess Bagratian, has arrived in town from Paris. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.—PARISH OP ST. CLEMENT DANES.—Last night a vestry meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Clement Danes was held in the vestry-room, Picket -street, for the purpose of agreeing to the adoption of an address to her Majesty, expressive of their attachment and loyalty to her person and throne, as also Prince Albert and the Royal Family, on the occasion of the threatened outbreak, on the 10th of April, the Rev. W. W. Ellis, M.A. the recto r , i n t h e chair. R. Twining, j un ., Esq., moved the adoption of the address, expressing their attachment, loyalty and devotion to her Majesty, and their determination to up hold the institutions of the country. At the same time the meeting concurred in the right and necessity to grant full scope to the consideration of all political dis cussions, as it was by a moral demonstration alone, by the diffusion of useful knowledge amongst the poor, and by social order that gradual and steady progress in the maintenanc e and improvement in the laws and institu tions of the country could be beneficially adopted. The address was then read, and Mr. Woodward seconded its adoption, which was agreed to nem. con. It was then resolved that the address should be signed by the rector, churchwardens, overseers, and inhabitants gene rally, and presented to her Majesty at the levee on Wednesday next (to -morrow). A rote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the vestry broke up. CHURCH or ENGLA.ND SCHOOL SOCIETY POE NEW FOUNDLAND AND THE COLONIES.—The twenty-fifth annual meeting of this society was held yesterd ay at Exeter Hall. Th e M arquis of Cholmondeley took the chair. The report detailed the present state of the schools in Canada and Newfoundland. The home receipts during the past year were—From donations, 1631. 10s. 2d.; annual subscriptions, 298/. 2s. 6d.; branch associations. 1,1621. 1 ls. Ild.; legacies, 940/. 13s.

The total receipts at home and abroad were 4,1351. 9s. 9d.; the total dis bursements, 4,056/. 16s. 10d.; leaving a balance of 78/. 12s. I Id. in the hands of the treasurer. On the motion of the Rev. Edward Craig, seconded by Lord Feversham, the report was received and adopted. The meeting was afterwards addressed by other clergym en and gentlemen, and the proceedings concluded by a vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman. CHARTIST Row.—Yesterday a meetinirof th e Church of England Self-Sustaining Village Society was to have been held in the Hanover-square Rooms. At the hour appointed a good many ladies and gentlemen assembled, and when the chair was about to be taken by the Bishop of Norwich, a mob of Chartists appeared, and presented tickets of admission. This the prorietr refused, and when an att em pt was made to force thei o r way by the Chartists, the inner doors were barricaded, and the police interfered to keep the peace. In conse quence of the uproar, the parties who called the meeting very wisely adjourned it at onc e , an d three of the Char tists were takes into custody. They were afterwards brought up before Mr. Bingham, at the Marlborough street police-court. The names of the three Chartists were Mender May, gentleman, No. 2, Park-lane; John Holloway, weaver, Mile-end; and James Parley, ginger beer manufacturer, Whitechapel. After hearing a great deal of evidence, Mr. Bingham stated that as no very great violence bad been u•ed, he should be content wi t h requiring the parties to find securities for their good behaviour for three months. published i a i i t n ti od p nup p sre e ui re:l:g bead theettiahodant pas the year was 36,781.39 1 1b5. , only 750,8611b5., or at the rate o COMB STATISTICS.—From a retur n j ust by order of the House of Commons, Greatßrl consumption of coffee in llb 14 annum on the population. o l r n SO . !. f tb l e o uz c z . lox, per head per annum.

There is a statement in the Belgian papers which is " important if true," vie., that the German flag had been raised at Sittard, in Luxembourg, amidst the acclama tions of the populace, and tbat both pirts of the duchy had proceeded to the election of Deputies for the Ger man Parliament. It will be satisfactory to learn, how ever, which we hope we may, that the Dutch portion of Luxembourg has not joined the movement. The advices received from Paris and Berlin have been the theme of universal comment in the City this morn ing. Nothing else is spoken of among parties connected with Stock Exchange operations especially, but it must be remarked that the mercantile community take a deep and more abiding interest in the matter. - There can be no trade while domestic convulsions are ) occurring, and less security than ever against war. The accounts respecting the growing crops are now of more importance than many topics that have been discussed to a greater extent. Au agricultural contem porary states : " The weather experienced during the last fortnight, though, perhaps, too - hot and dry for spring-sown corn, has been favourable for wheat ; and most of the ac counts from the agricultural districts agree in stating that the appearance of the plant has undergone a decided improvement. The yellow, sickly colour so much spoken of about the end of April has changed to a healthy green, and with few exceptions the aspect of the crop is promising. Grass lands are also very well spoken of, and, as far as any judgment can at present be formed there are indications of a good wheat and a large hay harvest. This is the favourable side of the • picture. In regard to s p rin g corn and pulse the prospects are not so p ro mising.
