Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly bailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint , which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.: -Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Int* these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel ne hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexe s, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The P RECEPTOR, also, who . . holds (temporarily at relation and responsibility of a parent, will, least), the work, be directed and very much assisted ginvtebsitsigatine and detecting the too often con cealedo often introduced into schools, whereby the hyiierpur the evil be arreste in proper tune. He will g w h he th n e by in t t o ric j a u t d e g m e, az w e h s e e n f health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless siailcu'tices s this moral labp..inth, here find a clue to gm a d n e d hannstanthdraortil appearof such attack may be, and t u h n u g charges, what the real c ausess delica c y of health should to attack any of his yo he will b e en abled to check the evil in its incipient state.

[The following is the excellent speech of Hr. Thomp son, which we were compelled to leave out ,yesterday for want of room] . • r• Mr. G. THOMPSON haring been called upon to deliver a valedictory address to the Conference, came forward amidst loud and long-continued cheering. He said—Mr. President, ministers of the Conference, and ladies and gentlemen, in the whole course of my life I never felt a stronger desire to acquit myself worthily than I do upon this interesting and solemn occasion. I have to address to you some remarks suited to the close of those impor tant and all-absorbing proceedings, in which you have now for four days been engaged. But I, unhappily, labour under a consciousness of inability equal to the intensity of my desire. The hour for argument and deliberation is past ; and it is my duty to re view the transactions in which you have been en gaged, and to express my opinion of the probable influ ence which those transactions will exert upon the issue of the momentous struggle in which the friends of the poor are engaged with th - e powerful monopolists of the boun ties of our Creator.—(Loud cheers.) Your assembly has been one unprecedented in its character and unexampled in its numbers.—(Hear, hear.) But these are not the most gratifying characteristies of this Conference. The sublime spectacle has, for the first time in the annals of the world, been presented of seven hnndred ministers of religion, of widely varying theological opinions, assem bling together not only without discord, contention, and animosity, but with a degree of brotherly love, and the most delicate courtesy and consideration, one towards an other. Your Conference has been distinguished by catho licity without compromise ; by a stern maintenance of the cardinal principles of our Christian morality, without the slightest abatement of your attachment to those pe culiarities by which, as sects and religious parties, you are known.--Acheers.) The talent that has been exhi bited has °`" the highest order ; the principles you have - prodlitheW have been di the loftiest - tifid . pnresrt -- kind. Sir, I consider the holdin g of this Conference to be one of the most seasonable and happy events that could possibly occur in the present trying crisis of our coun try's affairs.—(Hear, hear.) The conduct of the cause in which you are now engaged, has hitherto been chiefly in the hands of men engaged altogether in secular affairs, or under the influence of cold and calculating political economists, who have little to do with the discussion or application of those great principles which lie at the foundation of public morality and national prosperity. Long and earnestly have the friends of the poor desired to see the religious feeling of the country enlisted in the cause to which you are now, I rejoice to know, pledged. To bring about a consummation so devoutly to be wished, some five weeks ago it was resolved by a few humble individuals, without name, or influence, or note, to issue a circular calling upon ministers of religion of every denomination to assemble iu this town, for the purpose of considering, in the fear of God, the subject of the laws restricting the supply pf food to the community. I can bear wit ness that that circular was penned with a trembling hand, and issued with a faltering heart.—(Hear, hear.) Not only were no extraordinary means employed to give effect to the summons, but those usually re sorted to were, in this instance, almost wholly dispensed with. Yet, I will not say in obedience to that call, but rather say that, prompted by a feeling of humanity, in spired by the genius of the gospel, and touched with pity for the miseries of those around them, a noble army of seven hundred men—have left their homes and the altars at which they minister, and have come up to the belp of the Lord—to the help of the Lord against the mighty. —(Hear, hear, and applause.) Oh, Sir, when those who are now wretched and almost bereft f hope shall hear in their calls of poverty of this your glorious meeting, they will take courage, and look up, and believe that the day of their deliverance draws nigh. Gentlemen of the Corn-law League now present in this Conference, I con gratulate you from my inmost soul upon the position of that cause in which you have so longmeritoriously struggled. Sir, the bearings of this great question have in the most able manner been unfolded during the progress of your deliberations. The question has been linke by the most obvious and indissoluble ties to all the interests of huma nity, and all the hopes of our country and the world. A missionary has come to you from the other side of the Allegheny mountains. Shall this ambassador of peace and plenty return to tell the tenants of the western wilds that the law which defaces our statute book is irrever sable. What is the lan g uage of the nations around us ? The other day a friend to our cause and a friend to mankind—the estimable Joseph Sturge—(Cheers)—un dertook a mission to his anti-slavery brethren of America, not, however, without leaving behind him his munifi cent contributions to our cause, and his heart s best wishes for our success.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) On touching the trans-Atlantic strand he was told by the press of New York to return to the land from whence he came ; and, before he undertook to counsel the peo ple of the United States to do justice to the manacled slave of Virginia, to bring to a sense of justice those who are grinding the faces of the poor at home, and by their cruel laws making abject slaves of those ho other wise would be loyal, independent, and grateful labour ers in the promotion of their country's prosperity.— (Cheers.) Such is the well-merited taunt of proud Republican, slave-holding America.—(Hear, hear.) Take another instance. A Gallant Commodore whom the people of Manchester have delighted to honour in the hall in which we meet, undertook to school the bearded Pacha of Egypt on the subject of his restrictive policy. What was the answer of Mehemet Ali ? " First, let England, the huge monopolist, abolish her own Corn-laws."—(Deafening cheers.) And what, Sir, is the withering rebuke which polished France administers ?—(Flear, hear.) Speaking through one one of her most popular organs, the National, she says, " Britain i rase from your shield the lordly lion, and put in its place a starving operative, supplicating in vain for the bread of life."--(Renewed and long-continued cheering.) A word now with regard to the purposes which have been answered by this Convention, in addition to the important developments to which I have already referred. Who can calculate the good that has been done by the gathering together of seven hundred men, whose hearts have been made one in the cause of humanity, and who have mutually animated and informed each other ? Opinions have been settled which before were unstable ; resolutions have been formed which before were incipient and unex pressed. A Rosition has been taken previously doubtful and undetermined. Men have committed themselves collec tively and irrevocably to a cause of which they were be fore isolated, unknown, and perhaps uninfluential friends —a cause branded as secular and selfish by those who are themselves the most worldly and exclusive of man kind, has received the solemn imprimatur of an assembly composed altogether or men whose profession and practice is religious. And in addition to the presence of those who are here we have received pledges of con currence and co-operation from a still larger number— (Hear, hear)—who have been prevented by accidental circumstances from giving their personal attendance. Again, Sir, the calling of this Conference has originated throughout the country a discussion of the merits of this question more general and more useful than any that has before taken place. It has set all heads think ing, and all pens writing on the subject ; and above - all; it has urged that class of the community' to' beitow at- . tendon upon the subject who had previously considered it either beyond the limit of their legitimate cognizance, or inconsistent with their religious character.—(Hear, hear.) This Conference has answered another high and holy purpose. It has shown that there is an intimate connection between the abolition of the laws that have been brought under our notice, and the spread of that religion whose ministers are here assembled. The elo quent speaker here, at great length, adduced the innu merable texts of Scripture which go to show that the Creator, instead of allowing scantiness or re stricted food to men, expresses himself in every page of the Bible as a Being who delights in over whelming them with plenty. Again resuming his sub ject, Mr. Thompson continued :—I have myself, in perusing the vast number of letters that have passed through my hands, as your Honorary Secre tary, been affected by the frequent assurances given by ministers of the Gospel in agricultural districts that they are firmly persuaded themselves, and that in their views they are supported by the convictions of the members of their congregations who are engaged in agricultural pursuits, of the justice and necessity of a re peal of the present Corn-laws ; but they at the same time lament their inability to give an open and avowed assistance to the cause in which we are engaged, because of the bondage in which they are held to the proprietors of the soil, who exercise an arbitrary and despotic control over the condition of the occupiers and tillers of the land. The fact has been made abundantly apparent, that though the consciences of hundreds of thousands of the agri cultural population are with us, their votes have been directed against us in consequence of their abject de pendence upon those whose will can at any time dispos sess them of the means of their subsistence.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, the fact must not be disguised. The farmers of our country are under the relentless domination of the titled and untitled lords of the soil, who not only claim the fee-simple of the broad acres they possess, but the votes of those who are their tenants at will. Freedoin of election in the counties of England there is none. The horned cattle in the stall are not in a condition of more abject submission than are that class known by the name of the " bold and independent yeomanry of England."—(Hear and cheers.) Out of a multitude of letters bearing upon this point, I will read you one. The names that are mentioned, I must, for reasons which will be obvious, conceal ; the writer is a Minister, in connection with the Church of Scotland, of ficiating in a certain part of England.—(Hear.) "I have received your circular, very kindly inviting me to a meeting; of Ministers and others, to be held in Manchester on Tuesday, the 17th current, to take into consideration the laws respecting the monopoly in food ; and, in answer, I beg respectfully to a s sure you that you have my best wishes, and the b es t w i s hes of congregation is e farmers, it w ou ld b e mad ness i n me, nay, it would completely d estroy my useful thhoieuflsyands in composedthis of farmers, but as m y useful ness as a Minister, to take any open part in the repeal of these laws or at your meeting. All I can do, there fore, is to send you my best wishes. Nor ar e you to, I suppose from this, that the farmers here are against you. intelligent, arc your decided friOntis a bit they dare not Hundreds of them, and these, too, the last an d most show it, or they may lave the district. They must all do as the excuse both of minister and people, that as the public cannot and will not protect them, therefore they cannot reasonably be expected to secrifice all their own private interests for its weal. In these circumstances we dare not countenance you openly, but you have our best wishes, and should you ever come this way agitating the subject—and this, I think, I shall be inclined to do— (Loud cheers)—we will do you all the good we can. More, at present, we cannot do, with safely to ourselves and familieS: Trusting, therefore, that you will take courage, and be as successful in this as you were in the slave agitation question. I am, my dear Sir, yours very truly, , Minister, in connection with the Church of Scotland. " Geo. Thompson, Esq." —Yes; gentlemen, with your efficient aid, and the bless ing of the God you serve, we shall be as successful in this as we were in that sacred cause to which reference is here made.—(Loud cheers.) The yeomanry of Eng. land must be emancipated from the thraldom of a tyran nical land-holding aristocracy.—(Very loud cheers.) I said it remained to be seen what influence your Confer ence would exert upon those who sit in high places. You have had your Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) It was a glorious sight to witness, on the first day of your as sembling, more than the number of those who constitute the Commons of Great Britain.—(Cheers.) Yes, this self eleeted Parliament of England's best and purest minds —the representatives of weeping and famishing misery —the friends of starving attenuated operatives—the pas tors of impoverished congregations. Would that the destinies of this question had been committed to your hands for final adjudication.—(Loud cheers.) I think it might have been, with quite as good a chance of a wise and equitable decision, as that with which it is likely to meet in another place.—(Very loud cheering.) I think the suffrages by which you have been re turned to this Parliament are quite as extensive and independent as those of many honourable Members. —(Laughter.') I - think the means which have been taken to return you are quite as pure and unexceptionable as those resorted to in many of the constituencies of the empire.—(Laughter.) I think you are quite as re spectable in calling, and almost as wise in understanding, as either the hereditary or elected law makers of the land. And I think that you would have settled this question upon principles quite as sound and as patriotic as those who are likely to guide the decisions of either House of Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) But though you are denied any legislative power, of this be sure, that no opinion which will be advanced elsewhere will have half the weight with the community of that which you have expressed in your deliberate and solemnly-attested documents. And I will venture to say that the Statesmen of the land, and those at their head,. whether meditating upon the state of things and the signs of the times at Brocket Hall or Drayton Manor, will regard with an inten sity of interest which cannot be exaggerated the transactions in which you have been engaged, and the conclusions at which you have arrived.((Cheers.) God grant that your decisions may produce their rightful influence, and' turn the scale in favour of justice to a starving population.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) One word with regard to practical measures, and I have done. From this time forth you must be the ministers and missionaries of truth upon the great question which has brought you together.—(Hear, hear.) You must be constant, in season and out of season, in the work of enlightening, purifying, and directing the minds of all who are around you.(Hear, hear.) You must be prepared to attend another Conference, and to that Con ference you must come accompanied by the laity.--(Hear, hear.) Pastor and people must appear together.— (Loud cheers.) The next circular that goes forth must be, not with the authority of twenty-six ministers in Manchester, but of seven hundred assembled in open Conference in this town.(Renewed cheers.) And, Sir, if twenty-six men, making their appeal to their brethren, could convene such an aseembly as that which we have witnessed, what may we not expect when seven hundred shall send forth the rallying cry, and muster the armies of Israel to this holy war ?—(Hear, hear, hear.) Why, Sir, we may expect to see a gathering of seven thousand men clothed in the panoply of justice, who will not bow the knee to the Baal of a cruel mo nopoly, but fight until they vanquish the monster that is preying on the vitals of the country.—(Loud cheers.) There is another element of society, the purest and best, which must be brought into action. Sir, we must enlist in this cause of holy domestic charity the women of Great Britain.(Tremendous cheers.) Seven hundred and fifty thousand of the maids and matrons of this country car ried their petition to the footstool of a maiden Queen in behalf of the manacled slaves of our colonies.—(Hear.) Let this reverend assembly speak the word, and I believe that double the number will lay a petition at the feet of our beloved Monarch, now a wife and a mother. He prayed that the Almighty would pour out his bles sing on every one who was, and had been, assembled in that place. Like an American Indian, who at a large meeting said he could not shake hands with all present, he (the Chairman) would declare from the spot where he stood, he shook hands with them all at once, and he now declared the Conference dissolved.—(Applause.) DERBY LIBERAL OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION. On Tuesday evening a large and respectable meet ing or.. this Association was held at the Mechanics' Lecture Hall. It was at first determined to hold the meeting at the Old Assembly Room, but such was the great interest • excited, that, although the tickets could only be had from one person, who was appointed to deliver them, and to take the names of the appli cants, by four o'clock on Tuesday 800 tickets had teen called for ; consequently it was found necessary to take a larger room for the meeting, and, we declare, that 800 of the nation's hereditary Peers could not have conducted themselves more orderly, nor have gone through the business, for which they were called together, in a more business-like manner. The unani mity and good feeling which was manifested by this great and influential assembly of honest and unflinch ing Reformers, reflects the highest credit on the opera tives of Derby ; they are convinced that " union is strength," and that by banding themselves together for mutual intercourse, and for the purpose thereby of gaining sound political knowledge upon every subject that affects the well-being of the whole family of man (but more especially with regard to that great and important question, the repeal .of the " Monopoly laws," that is now agitating the kingdom from one end to the other), they can more effectually assist by their concentrated and united efforts, in furthering those referms which confer the greatest happiness on the greatest number. We will, however, let the As sociation speak for itself, and therefore give the " Declaration," which was unanimously adopted at the meeting, which, we are convinced, will satisfy every true Reformer, and which shows that the Asso ciation is based on a sound foundation. Let all party differences then be laid aside, and let all who call themselves Reformers, enrol themselves as members of the Derby Liberal perative Association. The Com mittee, and other officers for the year, were elected, and the Declaration and Rules adopted. It is intended immediately to take a room for the accommodation of the members, which will . be open every evening (except Sunday), and supplied with the best daily and weekly papers, and periodicals, of which (also when and where application may be made for tickets of admission) due notice will be given. The following declaration of the Association has just appeared : " The experience of the last few months must have convinced the friends of liberty (if any further proofs were wanting,) that the triumph of their common prin ciples can only be secured by united and energetic efforts, greater union, and a better understanding amongst the various classes of Reformers, (agreed as they are in the end at which they all aim, though di vided in opinion, as to the means by which it may be most speedily attained) would probably have placed the country in a very different position from that which it now occupies, viz, the immediate prospect of a Tory Administration, in the midst of commercial distress, ;rightfully aggravated, if not wholly caused by laws whiCh the leaders of that party stand pledged to support. But union, energy, and perseverance, may redeem the advantages we have lost. In the people resides all sub stantial power, and that power they can cause to be felt by the Government, whether their voice be legally re cognized or not. Let the people, then, in every possible way take their own interests under their own special care., In proportion as sound political knowledge is dif fused through the great body of the people, the Legisla ture will be compelled to pursue those measures which consult, not the interests of the few, but the well-being of the many—the rights And interests of the whole. " The deep conviction of these truths has given rise to the Derby Liberal Operative Association. It is, there fore, the general purpose of this . Association to promote b ani rin o to their exertions, to bear upon one point, to give effect g ng in s g t i t t h s e m ir en n i o b in er m s s n o n ui p id rin p n ci p h l t e ic s a a l nkdnonwnlietnddgen, energies to attain by all legal and constitutional means, such re forms in Church and State, as may conduce to the great est happiness of the greatest number. And seeing that it is only by securing the exercise of those rights already established that we can hope to obtain those still withheld, it will be one of the immediate objects of this Society to watch over the registry of the Municipal, Borough, and County Electors, and the election of public officers; a duty which involves the interests of all, and more especially demands the attention of the non-electors who very justly look upon the Liberal electors as their trustees, and the parties on whom they must mainly rely in obtaining their full political rights. " Such are the principles on which we unite, and the objects to which we stand pledged in the name of liberty, as men and British citizens, always remembering., that the condition on which God has given liberty to man, is eternal vigilance, which condition if he break, servi tude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt.' "—Derby . Reporter August 19, 1841. THE REGISTRATION.--lt should not be for gotten that to-morrow, Aug. 25, will be the last day for leaving with the overseers objections to county electors. The Tories bestow much attention on those matters ; and the friends of Reform should not suffer themselves to be surpassed by their political adversaries. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—Croydon, August 23. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Common Jury.) SHILLIBEER r. THE GREENWICH RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this action sought to recover compensa tion for having been compelled, as the declaration stated, to walk along the railway, and there not being suffi cient light and protection for the prevention of an-acci dent, that he had fallen upon the iron rails, and had thereby injured himself severely. The defendants pleaded, firstly, Not Guilty, and secondly, that the plaintiff had been warned that it was dangerous to walk along the railway, but that he had persisted in doing it, and had brought the accident upon himself. Evidence was given, and the Lord Chief Justice hav ing addressed the Jury, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 25/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. An old man, named John Charles Thorn, was charged by his wife with having refused to maintain her, and also with having offended against the law in other re spects. The examination was the third, and the follow ing account contains the substance of the three, on this very odd case : Mrs. Thorn, who appeared to be a very mild but reso lute person, aged between CO and 70 years, said that her husband had cruelly refused her maintenance, and she was therefore determined to brin g him to justice. They had been 35 years married,and had lived together in one place for 20 years, and a better or kinder fellow never breathed until he took to drink, and then he never stopped. The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean that he never re frained from drinking ? Mrs. Thorn—l do, please your Lordship. For 22 years he has never been once sober. --(Laughter.)_ _ _ Prisoner—Rollos, stay, stay. Please you, my Lord, I never was so sorry for anything in my life as marrying this here body. She as the impudence to complain now that I refuse to support her when she never brought me a mag in her life ; and, besides, the moment we were married, she began to run sich a rig that old Harry himself, God bless us, could'nt live with her, and how could I ? Besides, she has a freehold that's quite enough to keep the life in her, and I have got nothing, God bless me. The LORD MAYOR—Is it not better for you to come together again at your your advanced years ? Mrs. Thorn—No, no, my Lord ' • I tried him long enough. Besides, he has another wife, and he manages to maintain her like a good 'en, for it was only the other day I went in to look arter him, and I sees 'um both together a feed ing upon the tail of a salmon and some cucumbers and a pot of half-and-half. - The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean to charge him se riously with bigamy ? Mrs. Thorn—Certainly I do, and I'll stick to it. I've found out all about it. Prisoner—Tut, tut, where are the witnesses ? You can't move a step without witnesses. Besides, if I did marry another, I thought you was no more.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Thorn—No, no, John, you knowed very well I was alive. I a'nt dead yet. Prisoner—No, Lord help me, I see now you ain't.— (A laugh.) My Lord she's been to me the most tor menting wife as man ever was plagued with. Her tongue is for ever on the move, so that no man could stand it a minute without drinking the first thing that came to his hand. However, if she ain't unreasonable, I'll make her an allowance. I'll give her five bob a week. Mrs. Thorn—No, no, I can't depend upon you, John, I've got you here now, and I'll keep you. You must go to the Bailey, John.—(A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR—Pray is the second wife a young woman ? Mrs. Thorn— No, she a'nt younger than me ; but it's my belief he's got a young wife too. On the second examination, Mrs Thorn said that her witnesses would be ready in a couple of days, and she was determined to give John a taste of the Bailey, and yesterday she. again appeared. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mrs. Thorn, have you come to any arrangement with this old man ? Mrs. Thorn— No, my Lord, I'd much rather go on against him. I've tried him long enough. Now I mean to have him for the bigamy. Thomas Wiggins, sexton at St. Mark's Church, Ken nington, deposed that he witnessed the mariage of the prisoner to Maria Fraser on the 12th of October, 1840. William Easter, clerk of St. Mark's Church, also stated that he witnessed the marriage. He produced a copy from the register. The Prisoner—But she must prove that she was mar ried to me herself. Where is the proof of that I'd be glad to know ? The LORD MAyon—Why, you have spoken of her all along as your wife. Mrs. Thorn—Oh. I have the witnesses. One of them is a clerk in the Bank. now on leave of absence, and the other is a near relation of his own. I'll match him with witnesses, I rather think. (A laugh.) The Prisoner—Well, I hope your Lordship will order her to give me my watch and other property, besides 71. of mine which she has. You ain't going to let her rob me and try me at the Old Bailey too ? The Loan MAYOR—I shall not tell her to give up any thing. You know you told her, when you married her, that " with all your earthly goods you did her endow," and I shall not attempt to deprive her of them. The prisoner —I know that, but I ain't the only one that's gone astray about women. There's one thing I can tell you. I'm heartily sorry I ever married her; for she's been my plague now for 35 years. Mrs. Thorn—Oh, then, I'll make you sorry that ever you married any body else, John.—(Laughter.) The prisoner was ordered to be• brought up again on Thursday next, when he will be committed for trial.

Immediately they are placed before imperfect vision every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged impel'. feet sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youth. ful, natural, and original state. Th• valuable advantages derived from this invention is, that these lenses are constructed on a princi. ple that persons can see with them of a much less magnifying power than those now in common use; nor will they require the frequent changes that other spectacles generally do ; they arc also adapted to imperfect vision to the greatest nicety; they are found to preserve and strengthen the most weak and defective sight. Their invisible perative Voice Conductor for deaf persons is not the least percepti ble, nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deaf. ness.

On Monday Thomas Frog was brought before Sir James Duke, for final examination, charged with steal ing 2501. worth of lace, the property of Cyril Vidocq and Co., lace dealers at Paris, on the Ist of June last. Fulgue Pigache stated that he came to London as the agent of the house at Paris, and put up at Ryder's Hotel, in Salisbury-square. On the Ist of June he asked for the porter at the hotel for some person to carry his box of lace to various houses at the west end of the town. The porter brought the prisoner to him, end he received the box with directions to carry. it to Mademoiselle Le Norman's in George-street, Hanover-square, and wait there till witness came to him. The prisoner, instead of conveying the box there, disappeared, and the witness did not see him again till he was taken into custody. The lace had not been recovered. Henry Gardner, a City policeman, said he apprehended the prisoner on Ascot race-course a week after the rob bery. The prisoner gave an account about the box. He said that as he was going alonc , Coventry-street a Jew hailed him, and asked if he had anything for sale. Pri soner told him he had not. The Jew persisted that he had, and said that he would give as good a price as any body. The Jew took him into a public-house and treated him, and afterwards invited him to a house in Coventry court, where prisoner sold him the whole of the lace for about 30s. Witness had been endeavouring to apprehend the Jew ever since, but had not been able to discover his retreat. The prisoner offered no defence, and was committed for trial. _ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Coronation had the call of the field at evens, and 4 to 1 was taken four or five times about Van Amburgh. The odds stated against Middleham, Tear away, and Lampoon, were offered without effect. The Derby was an equally flat affair, and does not call for any observations. ST.

And further, that the applier comes over daily from St. Albans to the Bank of England in the said chair in half an hour, at an ex pense of sixpence. The model of an electromag netic engine, which has been exhibiting at the Adelaide Gallery for some time, is an instance of ingenious mechanic arrangement, whereby contact is broken and renewed, the poles reversed, &c. ; and from its performances gave great promise of practical powers on a larger scale. The battery employed is the nitric acid, or Grove's battery. Of the invention that has done the great feat, and established the successful application of this wonderful agent, we know little more than its success. We hear that the increase of power is due to the discovery, of a new combination of elements; that this is the secret of the moving power ; and that the battery is to be the subject of a patent.—Literary Gazette, Aug. 21. _ Lord Morpeth, the Hon.

DISCOVERY OF A MURDER CO la ~iITTED ELEVEN YEARS AGO. ; In the month of June, 1830, considerable excit4y.ot was caused in the neighbourhood . of IlutLon Rtsibt the North Riding of York, and in the whole vale of '6l,is . veland, by the sudden disappearance of a man of 04 name of William Huntley, who had a considerable sum of money on him at the time. He had been accustomed to keep company with a set of men in that neighbour hood who were in the habit of poaching, and committing depredations on the hen-roosts in that part of the county. On the night of his disappearance he was seen in the company of two nien named Robert Goldsborough and George Garbutt. On the morning of the following day a suspicion arose that, he had been murdered by those two men ; And every search was made in the neigh bourhood for the body, but without success. Goldsborough's house was searched, and very strong suspicions were excited by finding the watch of the missing man in the house, and several other things well known to have belonged to Huntley. By some strange and unaccountable neglect, all these '' thinsrs were looked over, and the man Goldsborough was left to his own measures, and never brought to any account, except by the neighbours, to whom he stated that he had received them as part payment for a debt which he wanted of Huntley, and that he had gone to America. The case was passed over in this way, although, before the disappearance of Huntley, he was in the most needy circumstances, and after wards was in the possession of a considerable quantity of bank-notes. He subsequently quitted Hutton Rud by, and went into the -West Riding of York, where he took another name. The other man, George Garbutt. had been concerned in the robberry of a barn, and was obliged to quit the neighbourhood. He has since been at Sunderland, in the occupation of a coal-trimmer. In the month of June last, men weve employed in cut ting a new course for a rivulet which runs through the town of Stokesley, in the direction of Hutton Rudby, near a bridge called Tame Bridge, where the water took a considerable curve. The cut was commenced for the purpose of making a straight- course from the bridge, which, after cutting for 30 or 40 yards, again crossed the old course ; when the workmen arrived at this place, on the opposite side of the water, they found a quantity of bones, which they at first thought to be those of a cow ; but they afterwards found the skull of a human being. A coroner's inquest was held on the remains, when the Jury came to the decision, after hearing Mr. Strother, surgeon, pronounce his opinion that the bones were those of a male subject, and that he had received a blow on the back part of the head, by which the skull .was broken in, and also the bones of the nose, " That the bones were those of some person who had come to his end by foul means." Mr. Gernon, the policeman for the district of Cleve land, with his accustomed promptness, made every in quiry in the neighbourhood of Hutton Rudby concern ing the unfortunate Huntley, and elicited sufficient in formation to warrant his going in search of the man Goldsborough, whom he tound at Barnsley ; and upon going to the house, taking the skull which was found along with him, and finding him at home, he suddenly placed it before him, asking him " If he thought it had any resemblance of Wm. Huntley ?" Goldsborough was forcibly agitated, and, with tears in his eyes after a considerable pause, declared that he knew nothing of it. Mr. Gernon again returned to Stokesley, and after everything was in a proper train, Goldsborough and a man named Thomas Grundy were brought to Stokesley; and on Friday and Saturday lust evidence was heard be fore Sir William Foulis, E. Turton, Esq., and William Mauleverer, Esq., in the National School-room of that place. Several witnesses were examined, including the brother of the deceased. Dr. Strother deposed to the cause of death as fol lows:—" The skull has not been broken by a sharp in strument, but it cannot have fallen into the present state but through the effects of a blow ; he should say that the teeth had not been forced out; the lips would pro trude a little, occasioned by the tooth ; the person when living has had an indentation in the forehead, and a broad flat nose; the pelvis belongs to a male person." The witnesses deposed to a number of suspicious cir cumstances, coupling Goldsborough with the death of the deceased. Mr. Gernon, the policeman, stated that he had visited Barnsley, as before stated ; that the prisoner Grundy had confessed to having been called up on the night of Wed nesday ensuing after the murder. He took him to Weary bank Wood, and there showed him a large parcel, saying that he had got embarrassed in the world, and was going to America. He wanted Grundy's assistance to take the bundle down to Stokesley. Grundy then took hold of the parcel, and found a man's bead in it ; he was quite frightened, and asked Goldsborough what he had been doing. He was very much agitated, and it was about five minutes before he eould speak ; at last, he said that he had shot Huntley by accident, and he would shoot him if he ever disclosed it. Grundy then made his escape from him, and left him at the place. Mr. Gernon also states that Grundy went with him, and James Berthram, constable, to the place where this had happened. Thomas Grundy was examined, and admitted the truth of what Mr. Gernon had said ; also that he had been afraid to be out at night during the time Golds borough had remained at Hutton. The prisoner was then asked what he had to say in his defence. He stated that on the Thursday previous to the Friday spoken of, Huntley came to him, and they went and sat in Wearybank Wood. Huntley took out his money, and asked prisoner what was the. reason Mr. Garbutt, of Yarm, had not given him the whole of the money which he had belonging to him. Huntley was no scholar, and the prisoner old him the reason ; he then pressed witness to go to America with him ; which he declined doing, as he had two children, which he thought it was his duty to support; he saw him again on Saturday, and he went to Stokesley with him. On the Thursday follow ing he saw Henley again ; he pressed prisoner to go to America with him, but he would not ; Huntley sold his weaver's loom to George Garneby, and that night pri soner shook hands with Huntley, and never saw him more ; declared his innocence, and had nothing more to say than that his life was sold. The Magistrates then committed Goldsborough to take his trial at the next York assizes, and also the prisoner Grundy, but would admit him to bail, in the sum of 3001., if he could procure it. Goldsborough was commit ted to the care of the governor of York Castle on Sunday. Garbutt has not yet been apprehended ; he was seen in the month of May last, in this town, when he stated he had been a trimmer or something of the kind. Grundy has since committed suicide by hanging him self in his cell in York Castle. A coroner's inquest has been held on the body, and verdict of—" Felo de se" re returned.—Sunderland Times of Saturday. MADAME LAFFARGE. We extract the following from the Gazette des Tri bunaux :—As we have already announced, the affair of Madame Laffarge is already decided, and unless the ap peal she has made to the Court of Cessation be admit ted, the judgment against her by default is absolutely confirmed. They wrote to us from Tulle, on the 19th, that all the witnesses have quitted the town. M. Brissot Thivars has forwarded to us the following letter, dated Guadala,xara, 17th February, with a request that we would insert it : "My dear Sister —lt appears that you have been sadly tormented on my account, in the prosecution of Madame Laffarge. Who could ever have guessed that this woman would set up such a defence ! For my part, I cannot conceive how any advocate could take upon himself to bring forward such evident calum nies. I have no fear that lily reputation will suffer on this account. It results from my letter, since they have done me the honour to read it on the trial, that Mdlle. Capelle was the inventor of an intrigue, in which she showed - a nascent talent. As to poor Mine. de Leotaud, she remained a long time foreign to it ; as soon as she became acquainted with it, she immediately intreated me to think no more about her, and craved my pardon for having been the innocent cause of vexation to me. During the whole of the time I passed in Africa, I never heard the names of the two ladies mentioned, except that that they were married, and then I was so ignorant of the name of the husband of Marie Capelle, that I paid little attention to the murder of M. Laffarge. Could I imagine that matter would arise out of it to bring me before the public ? This has given me but little concern on my own account, but I suffer from the idea th N at ho M h m av e e . d n e ev L e e r ot t a h t o u u l g ht should of f herbe but tor mented for me, v with sent iments of the deepest respect, without hopes, without delusive expectations. It is so long since we have s poken to or seen each other, that I never could halve ex pected that we should be reminded of each other i n a ma nner so unpleasant. N ever thele ss , no p ersons o f understanding will suffer themselves to be deceived by this calumny, and M. de Leotaud, as I learn from France, conducts himself with perfect propriety towards his wife. In this he does well, for nothing can be more worthy ofour respect than a young woman unjustly calumniated. If we lived in a more frank and loyal age, when the purest sentiments were not unworthily perverted, I should have yielded to the first dictates of my heart, and have written to the husband of this unfortunate lady, declar ing that his wife was worthy of his love, and deserved all his affection. But would he have listened to my words ? Might he not have replied—Why do you inter fere? What right hare you to defend a person with whom you have no connexion ? I therefore suffered things to take their course, thinking any attempt at her justifi cation by me would do Madame de Leotaud more harm than my silence. Circumstances speak so plain!) for themselves, that none but people of bad faith can doubt, and lam satisfied that my silence will be rightly con strued. What appearance can my asking money to in sure my silence have, if I had a right to claim a different recompense ? As if love could pass away so quick, and so far become degraded, as to barter with its object for a bag of piastres ? This may have been believed by those who know me not, and the contempt I have ever felt for riches. I do not mean to say by this that Ido not wish for money, but I love it only as it would raise me to the rank of her I aspired to, and not that it should place be tween her and me the insurmountable barrier of con tempt. However, my ambition has been gratified in a strange manner. I have sought :or fame, and calumny has answered me from the depths of a dungeon, while Poesy looked on smiling in pity.—FELIX CLAVET." __- The Constitutionnel sws :—" The Danae fri fgate has arrived at St. Petersburgh, where a look- out or her has been kept up for several days. As soon as she was descried in the offing, all the Russian ships were dressed and fired salutes. The frigate, im mediately on coming in, was visited by the officers of the Russian navy, who afterwards received those of the Danae en board their own ships, with the utmost cor diality. The Emperor gave orders that the French should be treated during their stay at St. Petersburgh with every mark of consideration. No French ship of war has appeared in the Baltic since January, 1828, when a frigate was sent for M. de la Ferronays." , ' .ta •'•*"` c;~ -~ I I ;fib ■
