Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle":— St a,—As I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any th.ng that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of' that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night, the 31st of May last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I war. recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday-street, Ch eapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d. ' and applied it immediately ; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as I had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know where to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen Win but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will be doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, Sze. THOMAS SCHOFIELD. 52, Lower Thames-street, and 12, Marlborough place, Old Kent-road, July 6, 1840.

As Manhood approaches, the human form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore lilts wonted en6rgy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empy ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should re shore ; and, on the other hand, that unworthy " principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrassment ofithe afflicted . All classes of society, the Anglo-Indian particularly, and those whose constitutions are enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as well as such as are about to enter intmatrinsonial life, are included In the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the result of many years' successful practice. Daily attendance is given for personal confultatlon's and immediate answers are returned to country letters which must minutely de scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant.— No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine wall be securely packed, and carefully protectei from observation. . - - (TOSS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Lancaster-place Strand, near Waterloo-bridge, London •.• Just published (Twenty-third Edition), Ist.

THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, en their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a.Amas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cure.i. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will, ere long, meet the happiest change . the chill, watery fluid will oecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

MAGAZINES.-(CONTINUED.) NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Mr. Theodore Hook's story of " Fathers and - Sons" progresses with its wonted spirit, more especially as regards the character of the intriguing housekeeper, Mrs. Smylar—what an appropriate name for a woman of her turn of mind!—whose covert and persevering efforts to gain the affections of her unsuspecting - master, Colonel Bruff, are described with infinite clever ness and vivacity. It is in pourtraying worldly personages of this stamp that Mr. Hook's chief forte lies. His sentiment—whenever he attempts it, which is far too often—is invariably a failure. " Debtor and C - ..editor"—a trite tlieme for a Magazine essay—has some good hits at the general ingratitude of mankind. We have been pleased with the justice of this easervation— ' Men are grateful, when it costs them nothing to be so; and that is as much as ought to be ex pected from humanity. No one can like a bore in any case; yet who so great a bore as he whose very presence reminds you that owe more than you can pay, or the man whom you expect will call upon you for large sums which it is incon venient to book up." The " Bequeathed Heart" is an improbable and extravagant tale, by Mr. Peake, turning upon the circumstance of an enthusiastic young Irishman, who, when abroad, bequeathed his heart to the cele brated Italian singer, Gabrielli, on forfeiture of ten thousand pounds, to be paid from his estates, in the event of his executors not complying with the extraordinary terms of his will. The story has no merit in the way of description or language, to redeem its absurdity. " Foreign Sporting" has rather too much of dry, minute detail, to be cent rally acceptable. Nimrod should enliven and vary his themes a little by seasoning it with pleasant, appropriate anecdotes, or sketches of character. " Time's Chancres " is a poem of an average order of merit.." Thoughts on Prefaces" eulogises with good taste and dis crimination the masterly preftces by Dr. Johnson to his Dictionary and his edition of Shakspeare. It has lately been the fashion among some of our periodical critics to speak disparagingly of the genius of this illustrious man, yet of all those who underrate him there is not one worthy to "loose his shoe's latchets." A " Passage in the Life of Orlando Scrubb" is a caustic description of a crafty, unscrupulous attorney, and closes with a whimsical piece of roguery played off by Scrubb on a legal neighbour and rival. This in cidect is very smartly told. " Might against Right " is a story founded on the patriotic, but unavailing struggle made by Hofer against the French invaders of the Tyrol. The story is somewhat tamely written. From Hood's poem, " A Tale of a Trumpet," we quote the following grotesque account of a deaf woman : She was deaf as a house—which modern tricks Of language would call as deaf as bricks— For her all human kind were crumb, Her drum, indeed, was so muffled a drum, That none could get a sound to come— Unless the Devil that had Two Sticks ! She was deaf as a stone—say one of the stones Demosthenes suck'd to improve his tones; And surely deafness no farther could reach Than to be in his mouth without hearing his speech ! She was deaf as a nut—for nuts, no doubt, Are deaf to the grub that's hollowing out As deaf, alas! as the dead and for Gray has noticed the waste of breath, In addressing the " dull, cold ear of death"), Or the Iklon's ear that was stuff'd with Cotton— Or Charles the First, in statue quo; Or the still-born figures of Madame Tussaud, With their eyes of glasF, and their hair of flax, That only stare whatever you " ax," For their ears, you know, are nothing but wax. She was deaf as the ducks that swam in the pond, And wouldn't listen to Mrs. Bond, — As deaf as any Frenchman appears, When he puts his shoulders into his eari;‘ And—whatever the citizen tells his son— As deaf as Gob and Magog at one ! Or, still to be a simile-seeker, As deaf as dog's-ears to Enfield's Speaker ! She was deaf as any tradesman's dummy, Or as Pharaoh's mother's mother's mummy, Whose organs, for fear of our modern sceptics, Were plugg'd with gums and antiseptics. She was deaf as a nail—that you cannot hammer A meaning into, for all your clamour— There never was such a deaf old Gammer So formed to worry, Both Lindley and Murray, By having no ear for Music or Grammar ! Deaf to sounds, as a ship out of soundings, Deaf to verbs, and all their compoundings, Adjective, noun, and adverb, and particle, Deaf to even the definite article— ' No verbal message wes worth a pin, Though you hired an'earwig to carry it in! THIS seeming paradox has been solved by the Perukes and Head Dresses made by ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, for although per fectly natural, they at the same time possess that elegance and gracefulness of contour otherwise unattainable. Being made of natural curling hair, which always looks easy and becoming, (particularly in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Perukes), being quite porous, and finished with their newly-invented partings. the latter so close a resemb'ance to the skin, as to defy detection ; they are perfectly unique. ROSS and SONS having completed their extensive altera tions, c•an now offer to the Public, on the Ground floor, the most splendid apartments for Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hair cutting and arranging ; and request a visit, the first week in every month, to inspect the fashions. An immense assortment of Fronts, Toupees, Ringlets, Braids, &c. of the most beauti ful description. Ladies' own hair made into Chains, Love knots, or any other device required. PATENT PERRYIAN PENS. These Pens having been submitted to the test of public opinion for many years, are acknowledged to stand pre-eminent for the great superiority of their manufacture. The care be stowed in perfecting them to suit every description of writing, renders them cheaper tlian the ordinary pens at a lower price. Their adoption in the Government and other Public Offices, Banks, &c., with their great and increasing sale, is sufficient evidence of the high estimation in which they are held. MONTHLY CHRONICLE. and indeed all whom they suspected of fidelity to the British Government. They nearly accom plished their purpose. Colonel St. John Fancourt, the Commandant, and several other officers were killed, and many wounded. Of the 69th regiment, consisting of about 400 men, more than 200 were killed and wounded, all the European invalid ar tillery were murdered, and of the insurgents about 450 were killed in the fort, exclusive of large numbers afterwards executed. The narra tive is drawn up by an eye-witness still living. Mr. Dent, who at the time was assistant-surgeon, and took an active part in suppressing the mu tiny. Among the other articles of interest are the " Mids of Other Days," and the continuation of adventures in Georgia, Circassia, and Russia, by Colonel Cameron. There are also some useful communications from correspondents on steam vessels and sea-lights for the prevention of colli sion. The following is from a Glasgow Corre spondent, giving some account of the 14 steam vessels which have been contracted for to carry the West India Mails:— You will have observed the launch of the Clyde at Greenock, the first of fourteen steam-frigates, ostensibly belonging to the Company that have contracted with Government to carry the West India Mails, but virtually H.M. steamers of war, when ever an occasion for their services occurs; these vessels will therefore occasionally interest you. The Clyde, the engineers, Caird and Co., expect to have ready for a trial run on the Ist of May ; and unless this Com pany are retrograding, which is not likely, the result will be satisfactory. Indeed, these magnificent vessels, being im provements on the present Halifax steamers, are likely to out strip any steam-ship they may meet ; and, I should suppose, i 1 1 be considerably faster thar, the Cyclops, Vesuvius, Medea, or others of our first and second class war steamers. Nothing has been produced here so handsome, strong or powerful, as these vessels will all be ; another is expected to be launched this month, and others will follow in rapid succession. With a few of such vessels, some steamers of smaller dimen sions, a few first-class frigates, such as o: 74'F • teure.l of *heir upper deck, or even of their poops only, and two or three first rates to accommodate an American 74, brother Jonathan would stand a bad chance with us in the event of hostilities; and the facilities for recapture off the destined ports which steamers afford, would reduce privateering to as low a discount as their Bank stock.

Hours of Attendance, from Eight to Ten in the Mornings and from Seven to Nine in the Evenings. On Sundays in the Morning, but not in the Evening. The chief causes that led to the failure of the Swan River settlement are here briefly glanced at in an article on the subject of Australia. Mr. Peel, it seems, and several other who colonists went out with him, received such enormous grants of land that it was impossible to bring them into cultivation, and dispersion was the ne cessary consequence. " Other evils," we are told, " ensued; the easy acquisition of land made every man become a landholder. Labour was not to be had for any price. Each man, isolated and kept to his own resources, soon fell into dis tress. Mr. Peel, who had taken out three hun dred emigrants, sixty of whom were able bodied labourers, had been obliged to make his own bed, to light his own fire, to fetch water from the river for himself ! His labourers now wanted to hang him, because he could not take them back into his service. He was obliged to run away and hide himself till they were carried off to Van Diemen's Land, where they obtained work." '1 his great fundamental error has been rectified in the new settlement of South Australia, which was established on a wholly different plan, and is consequently now in a thriving condition. "It was colonized," we are told, "as lately as the year 1836, and on the wide, waste plains where its first settlers fixed themselves, abundant liar vests are growing. Adelaide, the principal town, possesses 800 stone or brick houses, forming squares and streels ; it has schools, a college, churches, chapels, markets, and banks, three or four newspapers, various societies, a theatre, an exchange, and six thousand inhabitants. There are a dozen shops in one street that would not disgrace tile Strand or Cheapside. Yet four years ago, the site of this town was a desert, 600 miles distant from any civilization." This is pretty well for a beginning ! " Kirk Contro versy" is an explanatory account of the origin, progress, and present aspect of the ecclesiastical disputes now raging so fiercely in Scotland. We have read this account with some attention, ~,but must honestly confess our inability to understand what our Scottish brethren are squabbling about. " The Fight with the Dragon" is a spirited trans lation of a poem by Schiller. " Physiognomical Speculations" are a series of ridiculous remarks on the countenances of our three last Kings, a brace of Georges, and one William. Speaking of the Fourth and fattest of the Georges the writer observes, " the very outline of his figure bespoke a high-toned intellect !" It bespoke nothing of the sort, but_ merely a well-made, gentlemanlike dandy. " Gleanings from Richter" contain a few striking and poetical thoughts, and not a few crazy, metaphysical ones. We select at random a few of the better class : THE LONGINGS or LOYE.—The longings of love hang like a Promethean vulture on the heart ; but they wound only to ennoble.

CONFESSIONS OF THE BROIHERS WALLACE. The fyllowing are copies of thr. confessions made by the two brothers who were concerned with Captaia Loose in destroying the ship Dryad and other vessels, fur the purpose of defrauding the insurance companies. IL will be sten that eert lin names are omitted for obvious re:sons. The conf,3sions arc in the handwriting of the brothers re spectivell. STATEMENT made by Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wal lace to John Pirie, Esq., Alderman, showing whit part he took in defrauding the several Instil-arms Companies, through the casting away of the brig Dryad, Captain Loos; :--- I, Patrick Wallace, carded on business in the ale and bristle trade at the residence of my father, No. 18, Coo per's-row, Crotched-friars, from whom I rented my count ing-house. About the month of August, 1839, the Dryad was lying in Liverpool, ehArtered by Zalueta and Co., to proceed on a voyage to Santa Cruz, in Cuba. My brother Michael, who held three-fourths of that vessel, Carrie up to London from Liverpool, and one day, while walking with me in America-square, in the Minories, he said to me, " Patrick, if you promise to tell nobody, I will let you know a secret of much importance." I said that I would not mention it, when he told me that he and Captain Loose had agreed together that the Dryad should be cast away on her voyage out to Cuba, and that if I would in• sure a lot of goods in London, I should ha,e 5001. for my share after all the money was paid. I agreed to this pro posal, in consequence of which my brother Michael again went down to Liverpool. He shortly afterwards returned to London, came into my counting-house, ar.d presented to me six blank bills of lading, all signeu in the genuine handwriting of Captaie Louse, Oki i then filled up two of them (stamped) with goods, one to the amount of 715/., the other to tle amount of 6981. I then employed Stott, the clerk to Nicol and Co., to effect aa insurance on the 715/. bill of lading in the Alli ance Marine Insurance Company; also, Lyndalt and Hall, brokers, Loa.denhall-street. to effect a i insurance on the 693/. bill of lading in the Neptune Marine Company, which was done by them at a premium of 40 per cent. After the above-mentioned two bilk of lading were filled up by me, my brother Michael still left the remaining four unstamped ones in my counting-house, and believing the Dryad was really to be lost on her outward voyage, I thonght it a good opportunity to make myself some money. Accordingly I filled up one of the bills of lading with goods to the amount of 1,2651 , and gut Stott to effect as insur ance on the same in the General Maritime Insurance Company without my brother's knowledge, for I had a strong desire to put money in my purse independently of him. The Dryad sailed from Liverpool on her outward pas sage on the 7th September, 1839, and nothing of conse quence occurred (except a report in Lloyd's book that the Dryad bad been on the, Silver Keys, but got off) until the 25th of December, 1839, when a letter from Captain Loose to my brother arrived along with the protest of the loss of the Uryad. Next day I took the protest to two of the parties interested, and, by my brother's desire, re quested them to recover the insurance done by them. I then began to think how I could get my protest to re cover my 1,2651. without their's or my brother's knowlege, and it occurred to me that a bribe to a clerk who had ac cess to it would be the most eff ctivc way, and I accerd ingly used the temptation of two sovereigns for the loan of it for a few days. I then handed it over to Stott, who got 130/. per cent, or 1,012/. from the General Maritime Com. pany, but that Company refused to settle a total loss until they should hear whether any of the cargo might be saved. Stott gave me the cheque for 1,012/. which I paid into my account in the London and Westminster Bank ; Stott also recovered the 715/. from the Alliance Marine Company, which I also paid into the London and Westminster Bank to my account, giving my brother Michael 2151, retain. ing the 500/. tor myself, being the sum I wan promised for insuring the goods. I likewise received from Lyndall and Hall the 698/. for goods done in the Neptune Marine Company, also 600/. on freight insured by those gentlemen, which sums I paid my brother Michael, who paid them into his aecount with the London and Westminster Bank.

Mrs. Trollope's " Blue Belles of England," which appears monthly in detached portions in this periodical, is unworthy of her undoubted abi lities. The tale bears evidence of exceeding slo venliness, and the incidents do not dovetail neatly one into the other, but are strung loosely and confusedly together. The truth is, this lady writes too fast to write well, and spins her long yarns as if she were desirous only to fill a certain quantity of paper in a certain given time. The present chapters of her Blue Belles possess but little interest, for they are encumbered with prolix dialogues which lead to no results, and have no necessary connexion with the story. The " Prize-Master" is a passable sea-talc by the au thor of " Rattlin, the Reefer." In the " Note- Book of an Irish Barrister" we have a graphic character of Lord Plunkett, as a lawyer and a statesman, of whose famous speech in the House of Commons in the year 1812, on the subject of Catholic Emancipation, Sir James Mackintosh observed, that it made a deeper impression than any speech since Sheridan's, i n 1783, on the Begum charge against Warren Hastings, adding, " it was the only speech which has been known to deter mine the votes of several individuals." " Me mories of Gibralter" is a readable anecdotical ar ticle. " Fanny Fairfax" is a pretty story enough, but it would have been more entertaining, if it had been curtailed one-third. In the " Memoirs of an Italian Exile" we meet with a translation (which we subjoin) of the famous national war song, La Romagnola To arms 1 to arms 1 The warlike sound Revives our hopes, confirms our trust; Our country's soil is hallowed ground, The land we tread is hero's dust. Arise I arise ! Our glorious land, Too long has been the land of woe. Arise, Italia, sword in hand And strike against thy northern foe. What though, like grass upon the glade, Death mow the phalanx of the brave! The laurel wreath doth never fade That rests upon the patriot's grave. An hour of strife has power to turn A weary life to deathless fame, The tears that bathe the patriot's urn Wash off oblivion from his name. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZIAE. "A Leaf from the Fortunes of Mordaunt Me rivale," records how a young English squire baffled an old curmudgeon of a money-lender, who, to revenge some old grudge, had taken a fancy to Merivale Hall. and what semained of the family patrimony. The main pncident is rood, but it is no., so humourously worked out as it might have been. The " Misfortunes of Barney Branagan," are concluded this month. The whole tale has been well told, and concludes as happily as the most ardent lover of abstract justice could desire. " Charles O'Malley," is continued with great spirit, and promises to be one of the most amusing of the amusing tales of its clever author. Lieutenant-Colonel Blacker, of the Battle of the Diamond and Orange-lodge notoriety, figures in the portrait gallery. Col. Blacker is represented as an excellent land lord, a good neighbour, a religiously tolerant man to those around him, and what is more a man of "infinite jest" and humour. So mane/ good qualities ought surely to soften in him some of the harsh and ungenial asperities of political rancour and sectarian exclusiveness. SMALLWOOOD'S MAGAZINE. Few of the cheap monthly periodicals are better deserving of public favour than this, which is conducted with evident care and judgment, and usually contains one or more articles of superior excellence. Among these, we may single out the " Dentist of Frankfort," for it is a tale penned in a terse, vigorous style, and abounds in ingeni ously conceived incidents, which are well put to gether and excite curiosity without violating probability. " Philosophy in its Relation with Christian Intellectualism" is an essay which, though it displays powers of thought far above mediocrity, is, we fear, but indifferently suited to the pages of alight amusing Miscellany. " Blind Man's Buff" is a story of the Carnival of Madrid in 1834, penned in the lively, tripping measure of :Lord Byron's Don Juan. The subjoined stanzas upon conscience may, perhaps, be accep table to our readers : Oar conscience is at times a ticklish guest, And curbs and quells the boldest heart of man ; Unnerves the arm, and daunts the bravest breast That e'er pertain'd to gallant veteran : I therefore do advise you to divest Yourself of such retainer, if you can ; Particularly when you are encroaching Without a license—some would call it poaching. The giant shrinks at its command ; it makes The dwarf a giant, by a deadly wrong ; The warrior trembles when his conscience quakes ; The coward's heart grows, by injustice, strong ; And so all evil doers—for your sakes— Take my advice, and do not keep it long : The way to put the miscreant to the rout Time out of memory is to wear it out. THE SPORTSMAN. This Ma g azine , as usual, contains two spirite plates, the best of which is "A Halt in the Highlands"—a picturesque landscape sketch, with a wild mountain back-ground, whose lofty summits mingle with the sky on the verge of the horizon. The figure of the sportsman, who is seated on a fragment of rock, refreshing himself with a glass of whiskey after the fatigues of the day, exhibits much ease and grace of attitude. The literary contents, which, of course, are ex clusively of a sporting character, are happily adapted to the class of readers to whose tastes they appeal. Among the various contributions the one which we have perused with the most pleasure is " Wanderings by the Lakes and Rivers of Ireland," in which there is a racy de scription of Loch Neagh, " the largest lake in the British Islands, being twenty miles long, twelve broad, and covering an extent of ninety eight thousand two hundred and fifty statute acres." ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE. Those who are fond of stirring., warlike inci dents will be greatly entertained. with Mr. Mas son's details of the " Fall of Khelat and the Cap ture of Lieutenant Loveday," which are given at length in the current Number of this Miscellany. For ourselves, however, we confess to have been more pleased with an article under the quaint title of " Something anent my duels and their causes," for the spirit that suggested it is a manly and honourable one, and the chief cir cumstances are related with unaffected sensibility. The "Indian News," at the end of the Number is as circumstantial as could be desired. BRITISH MAGAZINE. A copious Monthly Register of reliai, us and ecclesiastical information, and containing, inter alia, some useful correspondence on the subject o f Dissenters' baptisms. • FARMERS' MAGAZINE. As its title imparts, this Magazine is designed chiefly for the use of agriculturists, though the w -01 EVENINf EDITION -5 l' Z CV 1 ' 77 -:: ) /` .--.._.„ ~ I IQ, . _ vessel I would give him 2001. in cash, and advance him—, &utlicient to purchase a quarter of a ne vessel, which: he was to have the co mmand of on his l cl igttirin. was regularly agreed to between us upon the,tiostr-perfect understanding. On my arriving at Liverpool I proeeederhro I:lmdousL and chartered the Dryad out and home. lin pled 1 1 4N/41,: brother Patrick et this pe t iod that Loose and myself had agreed to destroy the vessel, on purpose to defraud the underwriters. He consented to btcome a party in the affair, and filled up bills of lading for goods to the amount of 7151. done in the Aliia.-ice Insurance Office, and 6981. done in the Neptune. The bills of lading signed by Loose were procutei in the following manner :—I bought two sets at Livespoel, and Loose signed them blank ; I then brought them to my brother Patrick. Before the Dr3adsai e 1 Inim Liver pool, I proceeded to insure as fillews :-2,000/. on the ship, with Messrs. Howden and Ainsk,, and 3001. on the freight with the same; 7001. wish Seldon and John son, on the ship and outfit, and 7001. on the freight out and home; with Lyndril and Hall, 6i.:0/. en the ch.rteted freight; and with Bahr, Behren, and Ce. SCO/. en the ship, at Liverpool. Loose, also, to my knossled f ze, effected 150/. at Liverpool on his effects, and 1001 in London. The Dryad sailed from Liverpool September the 7 1., and I had no letter from Loose till the 25th of December, when I received the protest from Falmou'h. 'pi Jamaica. (Here Michael Wallace enters into detieli impliewing other parties in the transactions with regard to the destruc tion of the Dryad, which details ate. of altogether exclude, and which may have been fabricated a ith a view to diminish the atrociousness of the plot by dragging others into participation.) Nothing of consequence; occurred till July, 1840. One afternoon I came into my brother's office, whet' he showed me a large bundle of meta which Mr. Frost, Loote's executor, had left for me. We c::- amine4 them, and found that all the cargo bad been saved but the salt, and had been sold by the Vice-Consul. It appeared to us that the net proceeds from the cargo saved, amounted to about 1,500/., which 1 know nothing emu!. The wreck of the vessel, Kith all the stores and cahles was sold, and the bill that was found in Loose's posession, appeared to us to be the salvage of the vessel. Tire bill was drawn on a house in Liverpool by a fore'gn name, which I forget, and was indorsed by the Vice-Consul, and handed over to Loose by him. The papers were taken by me to my house in Trede gar-square, and were destroyed on the night any brother was taken into custody. The papers set forth that Loose had been accused by his crew befcre the Spanish autho rities for casting away the vessel, but was released from custody. This is all that I can think of relative to this most unfor'rnatc affair, and is all truth, as I shall ansaer to God. MICHAEL S. S. 'WALLACE. Newgate, March 23. 1841. Ad lition to my former statement made to John Pink. Esq. Alderman, respecting the money I defrauded the Under writers of : From Mutual Indemity Company... From Howden and Ainsley 1.590 Seldon and Johnson 1.284 Liverpool Ocean Company 458 Goods, Lyndall and Hall 667 Casb from my brother, being a balance from Al lianco Company 215 £4,628 Paid my sister's mortgages on the Lucy znd D rea d .Zl,lOO Cash sized in the funds . ..... 2,200 By Roe, officer Left with my wife when I left my home, and given to Mr. Humphreys Expended during my concealment, &c Furnishing my house, and various expenses at the time of my marriage £4.166 Brought down..; 4.628 .£462 By referring to my books and other accounts it will be seen how this balance bas been expended. Abut May last my brother told me that - told him that 4.-- and - had made it up to cast away the Fal con, and that was going out to see that it was Fre perly managed. He also told me, about the latter end cf September last, that - wanted him to make some in surances on the ship -, as ha knew that she was going to be cast away. At the same time he said that a vessel called the - was lost, and the Insurance Companies were not willing to settle the loss upon her. I now consider it proper that I set forth a part of my life. Up to the latter end of the year 1836 I was a steady hard-working fellow. At that time I commande.l the Delta, and unfortunately went into Liverpool with a cargo from Brazil, and was then introduced into the family of -, Esq., whose foundation is well known to have been buying old ships and casting them away. I was en couraged by him and Mrs. -to seek their daughter, and I must confess that ambition tempted m to forget my old playmate and my present unfortunate wife so far, that I did so, and I believed that I would have done an. thing to have gaiaed Miss --'s affections. My mother was sorely grieved and told me that our friend Mr. - warned me that - was a bad man. All this I did not heed, but would go forward led by Satan. - encou raged me to get money, and advi ci me, saying, " Get it, never mind how, so as you have i;." I was too willing to follow this bad advice, and have not only ruined myself but my beloved wife also. This I know, if I bad never forgotten her, I would not have been in this situation to-day. Although I can not h ive any proof respecting the person at Liverpool, to w hom I have alluded, and his black deeds, watch him narrowly, and 1 think you will find him out. His' ship., - and - will be cast away, should I not warn him by my fate. He has often informed me that he would do so. MICHAEL S. S. WALLACE. Finding that the General Maritime Company would nr t settle the balance on my policy before they had a specifi cation of what goods were saved (a report having appeared is a Linden newspaper that ease of the cargo bad been saved), I desired Stott to write to the Consul-General at St. Jago de Cuba for a specification, which he did, and received for answer that the Consul had done everything he could to procure one, but did not succeed, and stated that Capt. Loose bad left for England two months pre viously, with all the papers relating V) the' shipwreck. Stott afterwards recovered the balance fram the General Maritime Company, amounting to 253/., for we. One day Mr. Frost, sailmaker, in Wapping, Captain Loose's executor, came into my - office with a bundle of papers, saying that Capt. Loose had died on his passage home, and those were the papers found in his possession. I looked over them, and my brother Michael and I agreed not es show them to the , !nt':rwriters, bemire there was an account of all the cargo that was saved, and which, if they had seen, would have at once opened their eyes to the genuine and overwhelming fact that the goods were never put on board which I had insured. Accordingly the pa pers were taken away by my brother to a counting-house, and from thence to his house in Tredegar-square, Mile end-road, which was subsequently found as described, and in confusion, by the metropolitan police. The 916!. seized by the prosecutors in the funds in my name formed part of the insurances I received. The re mainder I paid my debts with, and in the manner in which such money is usually expended by those who obtain it un conscientiously. The above is the part I acted in the transaction of the casting away of the Dryad, which is all truth, as I shall answer to God. P. M. WALLACE. Newgate, March 23, 1841. g r fATF:MENT made to John Pirie, Esq., Alderman, re specting my knowledge cf other vessels which were and are about to be cast away. One day last year, either in the latter end of the month of May, or the beginning of June, came into my counting-house, and, after some conversation, said to me, " Wallace, why don't you ship some ale by the —to St. Domingo ?" I said it would not pay at that market. He said, " It would pay if I insured it, as he did net think it would ever arrive at that pretended destination." I de. dined at that time having anything to do with the business. About six weeks or a couple of months afterwards he and I were looking over the books of shipping at Lloyd's Cap tains' Room, 80, Bishopsgate-street, where the loss of the was written down, and he said to me, " Are you not vexed now for not doing what I desired you 2" and then told me that he heard the scheme concocted pre viously to the sailing of the vessel from London, and that went in her to see the job properly performed. With respect to the other vessel, the _..e.-, she was a large St. John's-built vessel, which was loaded, I think, in the S'. Katharine's Dock, my informant being at that time clerk to —. The vessel sailed from London for New South Wales about the end of August or September TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. last year, so that if she has been cast away the accounts Sin—l perceive in The Sun of this evening a letter will arrive shortly.
