COURTENArS NEW WORK. This day was published, price 4s. AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets, Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting eases, logether with the INliberies of a secret Vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally deieloped by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotescf ; 'these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages o f this most destructive and insidious habit, for. the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success ful practice, and at once safe; e pi e d y , and effectual, is adopted by the Anther. With concluding remarks on the evils resulting front attempts at Self Cure. Prineiptis obsta; sero medicine paratur. By C. R. COURTENAY, M. D. Robert -street, Adelphi.

" Amongst the numerous Afedieal and Surgical Work; of the day, we consider that written by Dr. Conrtenay, on Syphilis, and other frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which forth the subjeet of this very interesting publication The luminous views taken of those diseases, together with important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with much deNeacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review. A few dayS since, as some men were digging chalk in. a field called Miller's Close, in the immediate vicinity of Dorchester they found a human skeleton com pletely emhedtled in the chalk about five feet beneath the surface. The skeleton was of more than ordinary size, and, from the contiguity of the spot to a Roman encamp ment, and the long period the skeleton had evidently been interred, it is conjectured to have been that of a Roman soldier.— Taunton, Courier. The COIIIIIIISSIOIICrB of Custom s have app. . . printed a suite of rooms at the C ustom House for the ireop psssensers and luggage arriving f rom a b road. Be _ pt n •at of e aparttncnts and acc o mmodation are provided f or ladies, and a distinction is made between the cabi n an d steerage passengers. A crane has also been erected for the exclusive purpose of landing their luggage on the Custom house Wharf. This is an accommodation which has long been wanted, and as the business of the Customs is much facilitated by it, and as Members of Parliament have been subject e d to the inconvenience of waiting more than double the time that is consumed in France to expedite similar business, it has been matter of astonishment that the re form has not been sooner adopted. Mr. SMIRKE has also proposed, for the public benefit, that a chain jetty shall be projected from the centre of the Custom-house Quay, to • enable passengers •to embark from thence at once on board the steam-boat'', and also to take their carriages without hazard. It is well known that persons have pre ferred the passage by Dover to the danger and extreme ann oyance of embarki ng i n t h e port o f Loudon, by means of the wherries, which there are few persons of ;Hicate nerve who would not readily avoid. This plan is at pre sent under the consideration of the Commissioners. " it is hereby stipulated and agreed, that there shall be a true, faithful; constant,- and reciprocal friendship and alliance bet Wen the said King Ed ward and King Ferdinand and Donna Eleanor hi s wife, and between their successors' in the aforesaid kingdoms of England and Portugal, as well as be *een their respective kingdoms, territories, do minions, and provinces, and the vassals atasubjects who may be faithful and obedient to them ; and, like true and faithful subjects, they . will assist and mutually uphold and defend each other by land and by*.sea, against not only all mortal men, whatever be their dignity, state, pre-eminency,,.or condition, but also against • their territories; kingdoMs, and do minions." . . I3f virtue of this Treaty, which was a dei'ensirg one, in the amplest degree. Edward Ili: allowed' Ferdinand I. of Portugal, as appears by Ityiner'S History, vol. 8. page 41, to raise a body of troops in England, to put down - his brother, the Infanta Don Henriques, who had rebellesT against him. Con sequently, the rebellion of Don Miguel against his brother Don Pedro IV. being identical, it follows that this Treaty is applicable to existing circum stances. The ,Treaty of 1571, between Queen Elizabeth and Don Sebastiani. expressly declares, "That in order to establish perfect friendship and free trade between the two States, and that one should not prejudice the other, nor.aid and assist their enemies or rebellious subjects, the ships, money, and mer chandise then under seizure, should be mutually restored." • In the, Act of ratification of the Treaty between CharleS 11. and John IV.; 1642, are those express words ?—" Whereas the High and Mighty Prince, John the Fourth v ike. &c. it washis desire to renew the ancient alliance and Amity' that - were - between the Kings, their predecessors, their Crown and sub jects, his Majesty Charles 11. &c. &c. has consented thereto, and makes knOWn to all his well-beloved people, &c. &c. &e." . It is clear from this, that the Treaties of .1373 and 1571 continued in full force and effect after the August House of Braganza ascended the Throne of Portugal. The I.sth article of the same Treaty imposes an obligation on England, in the following terms ':=— " In consideration of all which grants,(Tangier and . Bombay) the King of Great Britain doth profess and declare, with the consent and advice of his Council, that he will take the interest of Portu gal, and all its dominions, at heart, defending the same with his utmost power, by sea arid land, even as England itself." If Portugal; therefore, ought to 'be defended as England itself, there can be no doubt 'whatever that it ought to have been assisted in the present instance —when rebellion and usurpation have plunged that Kingdom into the greatest "distress and ruin. It is, moreover,. stipulated in the first article. of the Treaty .of 1654, bptiveen the two States—v Not to receive or harbour the rebels or fugitives of either, in any of the other's territories, kingdoms, dominions, ports, or harbours." And by. the first Article of the Treaty of Alliance,• concluded in 1713, between, Queen Arnie and King John the Fifth, all the Treaties above referred to were renewed and confirmed in the following manner : " All former Treaties between the above said Powers, are hereby approved, confirmed, and ratified, and are ordered to be exactly and faithfully observed, except in so far as by the present Treaty is otherwise provided and established." The same renovation of these Ancient Treaties of Alliance is to be foUnd in the 3d Article of the Treaty madeat Vienna on the 22d of January, 1815, between Great Britain . and Portugal, viz. :-- " The Ancient Treaties of Alliance, Friendship -- and Guarantee, which have so long and so happily subsisted bet Ween the two Crowns, and which,ao hereby renewed by the High Contracting Parties, and acknowledged to be of full force and effect:" SESSIONS for the LIBERTY of the TOWER The adjourned sittings of the Sessions for the Li berty and Precinct of the Royalty of the Tower, took place yesterday at the Court-house, in Well close-square. - WALSH, Esq. acted as the locum tenens of Sir D. Williams, the Chairman, who, from a mental and physical decay, is quite incapacitated from discharging the duties of the office. The only case for trial was one which stood over from the last Session, and which proves another anomaly in our legislation, and shows that the ac cused may be heavily mulcted, not for his guilt, but for his innocence. It was as follows :----John Husker, one of the beadles of the precinct, appeared to an indictment preferred against him last Session, on which true bills were found, but the hearing of which was post poned for the present, charging him with having, in May last, beaten and cleansed certain carpets in an exposed place on the King's highway. The complaint was preferred by Mr. Hall, a ship broker, residing in the Circus, Minories, but he not appearing to substantiate it, the prisoner was of course acquitted. Directions were given for his die charge, but, previous to his being liberated, a bill, containing the following items, was handed to him, under the name of court fees :--" R v. Hacker. Venue, 12s. 10d.; jury and ci ier, 16s. ; trial, 10s. Bd.; drawing recognizanees, 2e. Bd.; serving notice of trial, swearing, &c., 7s. ; Bench warrant, Bs. 6d.; making altogether 2/. 17s. Bd." The de fendant, on glancing hie eye over it, sent it up to the grand jury, who, after examining it, forwarded it to the bench, accompanying it with some strong obser vations on the unjustness of such a charge upon any person whom a jury had pronounced innocent. The offence, if even the beadle had been found guilty of it, was one of the most venial description; that of beating a carpet in a place where it was the custom to cleanse them, at the early hour of six o'clock in the morning. When spoken to on the subject, he at once yielded, and never repeated that-which the pro secutor so much complained of; and it was too Op pressive not only to have the indictment hanging from one Sessions to another, in terrorem ' over his head, but now, on his acquittal, to saddle him with such exorbitant costs. If the demand was counte nanced by the law, it might perhaps be better for a person to be guilty than innocent. They .hoped, if the Court had it in its power, it would remit those costs. The CHAIRMAN replied that no discretion was vested in it : the law was explicit, and its duty was to administer it as he found it. Mr. Offer, one of the Jury, wishes to be informed whether carpets could not, as hitherto, be cleansed in the open space on Tower-hill ? Mr. Stable, the clerk, observed, that they might unless the inhabitants complained of the annoyance. A desultory conversation took place, which ter minated in the Petty Jury appropriating the fees they Ni 'ere entitled to,--so inequitable did they con ceive the claim,—in part of the discharge of the de fendant's fees. This investigation being the only business before the Court, it, on its termination, adjourned. 43d Regiment of . Foot—Lieut.

The following account of this person is given in the evidence of Mr. Richard Gregory, before the Select Committee of the House of - Commons on the Police of the Metropolis : If the law was, that every person convicted of felony should be transported for life, -and that the gradation of punishment should ,be wholly under that sentence of transportition, do you think it would diminish • the number of , thieves in London and the environs ?--Certainly it would, and I can speak from experience, bemuse all the great thieves have been transported for seven years; Ikey Solo mons was transported for life; I saw him receive sentence of transportation for life; the moment he came into Spitalfields he left off thieving ; I knew him picking pockets twenty-five years ago ; I brought some.daring offenders to justice for a burg lary, When the late Recorder tried them, they ought to have been all hanged, he said; they got hold of the :prosecutor's lawyer, and bribed him to frame the indictment so that they might escape the capital charge, and the worst it them came back. " Do you know that fact, that they got hold of the prosecutor's lawyer, aud bribed him ?—I was told the Recorder was very angry with me becauSe he thought that I had dot them indicted so. You•stikittit Ikey Solomons was transported for life ?—He was. " How long after that did he make his appearance in Spitalfields ?—Four years. Where was he in the intermediate time ?—ln the hulks. " Do you: know how he got back ?--I was told in this way : that an order came from the Secretary of State to discharge a prisoner of the name of So lomons for some offence, and in mistake the CaP tain of the Hulks discharged Ikey Solomons, and he very artfully went and delivered himself up, as being discharged as the wrong person. " Hew came it about, if he was sentenced to transportation for life, .that he was not sent out of the country ?—I am sure I do not know; it would have been attended with a great deal of good if he bad been. " What year was it in ?—He was the first offender that received sentence, when picking pockets was made transportation for life; it was the first session after that." RETALI A TION.—WO have ,good reason to believe that a matter is now under consideration, in more than one quarter, likely to be extensively influential on this subject, which involves the interests of a numerous class of our fellow-citizens. It is neither more or less than the 'expediency of calling upon the Protestants to retaliate in `kind en those enactments of the Romish Demagogues which prohibit all dealings on the part of their slaves with Pro testant traders. While we are compelled to admit the jus tice of such a measure, however strong, we - Would express our hope that it may not 'te resorted to, and that Pro testants will not. follow It bad ex tmple. But as there is no knowing to what lengths men goaded' into retaliation, as the Protestants have been, may go, we would suggest to the Roman Catholic trades people and dealers of every kind, is Dublin, particularly, the propriety of their taking some steps to avert a measure so pregnant with ruin to them, by seriously calling on those who assume the direo tion of the Roman ,Catholic Body, to rescind their " non intercourse act;" to eaneel their mandate, and to give some practical proofs of their having dune so in good earnest, otherwise we cannot answer for the consequences. There is a spirit and a feeling roused amongst Protestants which will not bear being trifling with.—. Dublin .Evening EXCISE CONVICTIONS.—On Saturday last, Mr. W. RICHARDS'ON, tobacco-manufacturer, of the firm of RICHARDsON and Co. near Timble. bridge, in this town, was brought before the Magistrates upon a eharge of adul terating his tobacco with malt.cooms. The supervisor stated, that on going to Mr. Ilictraansois's premises a short time ago, to weigh and take an account of the stock on hand, in accordance with his duty, he detected the pro cess of mixing malt .rooms with the genuine article then going on, and that he brought away with him 451 be. of the tobacco so adulterated. Not even the shadow of a de fence was pet up by the accused, and the Magistrates con victed him in the full penalty of 1001. This, we trust, will operate as a warning to others. The awarding of the penalty, and the giving publicity to such cases, cannot fail to serve a most useful purpose; for, in the first place, it must have a tendency to protect the honest trader in the articles paying a heavy duty, such as the tax on tobacco..._ and in the second, to prevent the baneful effects to the p u blic health, which invariably result from the mixture o f spurious with genuine articles.—When the above case had been disposed of, JOHN SWITHENBANK appeared to answer a clsarge of having had 12lhs. of tobacco in his possession without having obtained a permit; and a poor widow woman also appeared to answer to a charge, for having to baceo in her possession without a certificate. The tobacco thus found had been seized in both cases ; but as it appeared that, in the latter case, the poor woman had not paid the a mount of the purchase, and that the loss to her would be serious, she was informed that it was at her own option whether she ever discharged the debt. We take this op portunity of repeating to the public a piece of information with which we made them acquainted some time ago, viz : --that every person purchasing more than one pound, and less than ten pounds, of tobacco, either for his own use or for sale, without a certificate from the vendor ; or if above ten pounds without a permit, is liable, not only to have such property seized by the excise, but also to a penalty of flfty pounds! In both the cases above-mentioned, the fine was remitted ; but the regulation appears a salutary one, inasmuch a , if generally acted upon, it would do away, in a great measure,.with the facility at present given to adul to ration, and thus prevent all the mischievous consequence which accrue from it...--Leeds Intelligencer. A thatCli of cricket, Ni'hieti - ; ' from all the circum stances attenditig it, excited a -vast 'degree of inte rest in the neighbourhood of Stnninore, Edgware, and-the adjacent county, for a considerable distance roundovas played a few days ago at Bently Priory, the seat of the Marquis of Abereorn, and the resi dence of the present Secretary At s tate for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of Aberdeen, whose Countess.is the mother of the young Marquis: . The Marquis, who is much attached to every 'description of field sports, and is considered - an ekeellent cricketer, formed a match to play himself, his brother Lord Claude Hamilton, - Viscostit Grimstone, - the eldest son of the Earl of Verulam, the Hon. Mr. Bathurst, son of Earl Bathurst, who were all there on a visit with the youn g Marquis, and all about his own age, together With six of his Lordship's servants, whom he selected, making in all ten players, against ten of the best players amongst all the tradespeople of StanmOre and • Edge War e .. 'These tiro 'ancient villages put forth, nf 'cours'e 7 4 7 - their best and pitted men 'on s" the occasion; Lind the ten selected, at 'the_ head'of whom was an EdgfeWiteeltiltater, who eieiteeineel a crack playa in those parts, went to meet 'them aristocratic opponents. A beautiful spot. of crround, well adapted for the game, was selected by . 'the Marquis in the PriOry-park, and the whole Of the grounds 7 --and, indeed, of the niansion itself were thrown open for the reception of the surround ing country, Which poured in its 'popitlation to wit ness this interesting contest, 'and every facility to view it was by.orders from the.young - Marquis af forded , to all Corners, without distinction, rank, wealth, station, or dress. The wickets were set about 12 o'clock, at noon, and the game commenced immediately after. At the beginning every thing seemed to run in favour of the lords, but in an early . stage of the game, to the great regret of all present, the young Marquis,one of theirbest men, was bowled out. This unlucky event not only threw a considerable damp upon his Lordship's party, but gave a tremend ous stimulus to the opposite'side, and the butcher and his men for some time after carried on a slaughter ing game, and seemed to have knocked on the head all chances of. success to their opponents, when the young Lord Grimstone, apparently determined to snatch either victory or' death from the butcher's • grasp, went in and completed, in the most gallant style, 40 runs before he received a check, which brought the game to almost a hair's balaitce. Both parties now contended for victory with 'Might and main, and carried on the game with varied success until the evening became too dusk to continue it any longer, and it being rimy announced to the young Marquis that-the dinner party at the mansion bad al ready been waiting a considerable time for his Lord ship's presence, both partict!,,to . their mutual disap pointment, were obliged to make it a - drawn game, and'they separated, all declaring that they never had a fitter's clay's play in their lives and the butcher vowed to his friends as he went homewards, that he was worked almost taa marrow." Besides, those already described as present to view this scene,there were the-Countesses of Aberdeen, Vcrularn, and Bit, thirst, Up! ,ApSley, and several others of rank and fashion, From the commencement to. the close, there were in every direction over the grounds, in tents .and marquees, as well as in apartments laid out for the occasion in the mansion itself; a constant and abundant supply of cold meats, strong ale, bread and cheese, wines, jellies, -Dego, • fruit. &e., for the use of all who felt disposed 'to partake of them; and there.were upon the .grounds Npnards of 50 men servants belonging to the Marquis and the three families. of Aberdeen, Bathurst, and Verulam, in attendance all that day upon the visiters to the Priory. The Earl of Aberdeen was prevented from' being present on the occasion by his Lordship being compelled on that day to visit his Majesty at Wind sor on important businesF. The young Marquis of. Abercorn is a fine athletic young man, now in his 19th year. Ilis Lordship has completed his studies at Harrow-school, and is shortly, to be entered at College, together with his brother, Lord Claude, who is only about one year younger than •the Marquis. THAMES TUNNEL. The following letter on this subject has been addressed to the Editor of the Liverpool Albion :--- " May I beg a corner in your interesting Paper to direct the attention of our merchants and capitalists to that great national work, the Tunnel under the Thames ! Amongst the extraordinary undertakings that will stamp a character upon the age in which we live, perhaps this will stand pre-eminent; and it will be a disgrace to Englishmen to suffer it to languish for want of funds. " The usual excuse, that the Londoners do nothing for us, will no longer avail as an apology for our neglect of this great project, since Government has now enabled us to commence a building which Avill, in extent and beauty, vie with any other in the world. Upon this ground, then, the friends of the Tunnel have a just claim upon us for our support. But it is to those who are accustomed to act on more substantial grounds that I principally make this appeal, feeling confident that they will hardly resist an argument founded as well on their own in terest as upon national honour and utility. " To those Gentlemen I would say, that the Thames Tunnel will make an ample return of inte rest for any money that may be expended on its completion. The amount already expended is only about 175,0001, and reckoning upon that data, and not upon any original estimates, it may be completed for about 200,000/. more. Let us take, for conve nience sake, the round sum of 400,000/. as the whole cost, the interest of which is 20,0001. per annum, and then inquire whether or not the tolls of the Tunnel will produce that sum. " The Tunnel will be the great thoroughfare be tween the Grand Surrey Canal and the Commercial Docks, which are situated near its mouth, on the side of the river, and the London and St. Katha rine Docks, which are similarly situated on the other, and will be us necessary a communication as the Old Dock Bridge used to be, when the latter formed the passage between the north and south docks of Liverpool. " But I apprehend that even this representation will give hut an inadequate idea of the traffic that is likely to be drawn to the Tunnel, owing to its cen tral situation ; a more just ground for forming a!' opinion may be obtained from the following_ !t:tn.;.. rnent. By accounts laid before the Hous e f 11 , i l the traffic over London Bridge, if liable to lowing tolls, would have been — s. d. mons, it appeared that the receipts for o u doav elf d. 8 9 0 -- For foot passengers 69,610 at . o ea" h ********* 37 3 3 1° ° W 769- l aggons Carts .2,924 — 0 8 62 0 0 Coaches 1,210 ---1 Gigs Si. taxed carts 485 —0 U Horses . ......... 704- 0 3 Mak l i 6, an nually " Now, us a ver y considerable number of these passenge r s and vehicles must necessarily go to t h e above . 4 ,„ ine d docks, either on one side o f t h e r i ver o r on the ether , a n d'as the Tunnel will be the most direct passage they can take, and will enabl e m y gons and carts to make two_ or three jour ne y s a d a , i ns tead of one, which many of tli em are now only !able to make, it is bt:t fair to say, th a t even w i t h out 2ng46ao/d.a Silsy reve nue of .5 93 / .

NAVIGIATION, , " There is flotilla; new ender the 'eon." ' This adage is as Old as the time of Solomon', It' s probable that many ages before the exist ence of the King of the - Jews, attempts ware made in machines to breathe and navigate in the depth of the sea and rivers. The hooka which speak of such experiments have been destroyed by the flames of conquests, or submerged by the floods of inundations ; all which has been written on the subject applies tothe effort of the present day. The most ancient writer of antiquity who mentions it, is the preceptor of .Alexander. Aristotle, speaking of sub-marine navigation, alludes to. the use of bells or corizentusm Au thors who wrote sixteen hundred years after the death of the son of Philip, say that the vanquisher of the son of Darius navigated under water. That which seems most probable is, that in the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries, they have constructed in a,chines or boats for sub-marine navi (ration, and that the inhabitants of the Ukraine, to avoid the attacks of the Turkish galleys, con structed large pirogues, by the aid of which they concealed themselves _under water. In 1664 Pere Afersanne published au essay upon diving boats, which preserved communica tions with the surface of the water, and twenty years later a vessel was constructed at London, by Cornelius-Van Drebble, for twelve rowers and a great number of passengers. King James 'was to take a place among them. A liquid, of which the author alone knew the composition, gave to air vitiated by respiration the quality of vital air. Unfortunately the author died with his secret. There was also a sub-marine vessel, seventy-two feet in length, built at Rotterdam in 1665,-by -a Frenchman. The plan . of building and directing this vessel, which, according to the inventor, might destroy a numerous fleet, has not been known. The man who possessed it never gave the important information to the world. .An incendiary diving or, plunging boat was constructed' in 1776, by David lruschel, an in habitant of Connecticut. The movement of this boat was governed by the screw of Archimedes. That of Fulton, built at Brest in 1801, upon the same principle ; the Nautilus, in which the brothers Coessin made an experiment at Havre in 1809 ; and several others, induced the learned Commissioners of the Institution to decide that they were sot at liberty to 'entertain doubt upon the . possibility of establishing sub-marine navi gation. A project was entertained some years since for carrying eft' Napoleon Bonaparte frOm Helena ; that plan was conceived by Mr. 'Min. son, a captain in the English merchant service. A ship, the largest of all' that had been built for sub-marine navigation (it was 100 feet in length), was to receive the prisoner of Sir Hudson Lowe. Mr. Johnson hat' preiiously built five boats, which he navigated during several hours under water in the Thames ; but all these vessels were made upon the plan of Fulton and Buechel. Messrs. de Monger) , and Castera, in their con structions, which were intended to promote the art of war, followed the plans pursued by others. The system of sub-marine 'navigation, for s o a o e i f ng water itsel f upon reci a r i o r, which M. Baudenin des Andelys obtained a a t its state t he w of l o t patent, is quite new. It is founded upon the at mospheric dilatation, and of the air upon the the sub-marine pilot. The principal material with which M. Baud • 1 . himself is . 1111. a p te i r es d s Baudouin supplies imse By a simple process, easy of execution, he can compress that element, (so eminently elastic), and in a vase of the capacity of a cubic foot, be retains sixty feet of respirable air.
