" DAVID DAVIES, M.D. " Sudbury-hall, Nov. 23, 1841." DARING OUTRAUES IN HERT- FORDSIIIRE. A long inquiry took place before the Hon. Captain Hotham, and a full bench of Magistrates, at the Shire hall, Hertford, on Monday, into the circumstances of a daring assault and robbery, that took Ogee in the neigh bourhood of that town on the evening of the 13th inst. In addition to the offence which was the present subject of inquiry, the parties in custody were suspected of being concerned in another outrage of a similar character upon a gentleman named Ford, belonging to the East India College at Haileybury, who was stopped by five men when on his way from Hertford to the College, and knocked down and ill-treated by them. The proceed ings, in consequence, created a good deal of interest, and the hall was filled by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood during the inquiry. The prisoners, Frederick Franck, alias Farky, Wll - Aylott, alias Naylor, and William, alias Tucker Smith, were charged with feloniously assaulting and rob bing William Edwards upon the Queen's highway. The prosecutor, who is a veterinary surgeon, residing at Puckeridge, stated that about a quarter to six o'clock in the morning of Saturday, the 13th inst., he was riding on horseback, about a mile and n-half beyond l3enger, on the road to Little Munden, when he came up to thur men, and as he passed them he wished them a good night, and almost at the same instant one of the men seized his arms, and another dragged him from his horse and pinioned him to the ground, and one of them placed his hand over his mouth while the others rifled his pockets, and took from him some gold and silver money, and also a silver watch and some other articles. The men turned his horse loose, and when they had ob tained what they wanted they told him to go about his business, and they then went towards the town of Hertford. Having secured his horse witness proceeded back to Benger, and gave information of the occurrence. In answer to questions from the Bench, the prosecutor said he was positive that Aylott and Francis were two of the men who robbed him. He said that they both assisted to pull him off his horse, and when he was upon the ground Francis pinioned him while the others took the money from his pockets. He could not speak posi tively to the identity of Smith, but he bad very little doubt that he was the man who first seized his horse. William Sheffield, the landlord of the Globe public house at Benger. proved that on the night of the rob bery the prosecutor came to his house, and informed him of what had happened. He was covered with mud, and his clothes were very much torn, and his pockets were turned inside out. Witnesses were then called, who proved that on the night the robbery was committed, the prisoners had been seen going in the direction of the place where it occurred. The prosecutor was recalled, and, in answer to a question from the Bench, he said that, upon being i n .. formed by the police that some persons were in custody, on suspicion of being concerned in the attack upon him, he went to the police station at Hertford, find he saw a u the parties separately, and he immediately identified Francis and Aylott. Mr. Knight, the Superintendent of the Borough Po lice, and Inspector Driscoll, of the Hertfordshire Con stabulary, having proved the apprehension of the pri soners, the Bench were informed that this was all the evidence that could be produced on the present occasion in support of the charge. The prisoners then called some witnesses for the piir • pose of pro vin g an alibi, but the evidence w as not a satisfactory description, and the Bench ultimately re manded all the prisoners to the county gaol, in ord e r to afford the police an opportunity to make further incleiries.

Last evening this Society held the first general meet ing of its twenty-second session, at the Chambers, in Sackville-street, Piccadilly. If. Cook, Esq., jun., in the Chair. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the last meeting, and informed the members that several valuable . presents of seeds, exotic plants, and foreign medicinal preparations had been received from various Correspondents, amongst whom were conspicuous their Noble President Earl Stanhope, Mrs. Burnet, and a Professor of the University of Prague, whose name we did not catch. The thanks of the Society having been voted with much applause to the several contributors, Dr. SIGMOND was called on, as Professor to the Insti tution, to offer some observations to the assembled mem bers and visitors upon the opening of the new Session. The Learned Professor thought the occasion would be a fitting one to take a comprehensive view .of all that had been done since the formation of the Institution, that is, within the last quarter of a century, to add to the magni ficent science of which that Society was the cultivator, and to the noble profession to which he had the honour to belong. Yet, to go through even a brief account of all that had been done for the promulgation of light and the alleviation of disease, would occupy far more time than the occasion allowed. He would observe, that although many of the plants which were now laid aside, because past experience left a doubt upon their utility ; yet a tune might come when they should be discovered to pos sess principles and ingredients of important benefit to man. Chemistry had done much to bring into use the beneficial properties of medicines, of which, before, the value was unknown or uncertain. This was especially the case in respect to alkalies produced from American. vegetables ; for instance, the various species of the ge nus cinchona. This genus was of peculiar interest to the botanist, and to the lover of mankind. He could not dwell upon the difficulties which originally were thrown in the way of its introduction, both by the medical pro fession and the . public. Even Sydenham encountered great difficulties in his attempts to apply the remedy to be derived from cincona in a safe and beneficial form. Whilst the medicine was efficiently used upon the Conti nent, the great Cromwell was allowed to die of inter mittent fever, because the mode of administering it was unknown in tbis country: Sydenham, since that time, discovered that the interval between the fits was the time to administer the medicine, when the patient appeared to require none, whereas its administration during the fever was dangerous or fatal. When that product of cinchona called " quina," was first introduced ignorance of its actual properties produced the new disease to which the name of " tjuininism" was given. It also produced painful neuralgic disease and tic doloreux, which quinine cures.—(Bear). He passed then to " morphia," and " narcotine," two principles obtained fiorn opium—the former was the exciting, the latter the sedative, prin ciple. The former abounded most in the opium of the East Indies, the latter in the Turkish opium ; and this was so well known by the Chinese, that they always selected the Indian drug. Opium was a most beneficent medicine when properly used ; and the old pharmacopwia contained many excellent preparations of it, which we understood him to prefer greatly to morphia. The Learned Professor then re lated the history, and discussed the properties of prussic or hydrocyanic acid, which, under the regulations of the Apothecaries' Hall, requiring that all persons should sell it of the same strength, was now used with the great est advantage. He next came to " strychnia," an alkali derived from " nux vomica." The nut itself might be administered in certain forms with benefit, but the extract was the most ferocious poi son known ; and he warned all his friends against its use. Even Magendie, who recommended strychnia, acknowledged, that upon the application of the drug ex ternally, or rather enderndcally, the patient in one second dropped dead; so instant was the working of this terrible poison. Even those who touched a person la bouring under the effects of the drug were affected by it, and felt as it were an electric shock pass through their bodies. He also disapproved of the use of another new alkali called " aeonitina," and of another veratrina." But of Croton oil he spoke in high terms. Dr. S. havinc , spoken at some length upon the benefits likely to be conferred upon science by the three new Societies, the Botanical, Pharmaceutic, and Chemical, concluded an eloquent address amidst warm and repeated plaudits. The death of the late esteemed Fellow of this Society, Er. Hancock, was afterwards communicated to the meet ing, amidst general expressions of regret, and promises of assistance to the family of the gentleman. After some routine bu - siness, the meeting adjourned to the Bth of December. SPAIN. We have received advices from Barcelona of the 16th inst., which contain fuller particulars of recent events in that city. The Constitucionalstates that a general meet ing of the authorities and of the Commandants of the National Guard was held on the 12th, at which it was decided, in spite of the opposition of some Exaltados, the enemies of all order and legality, says the Constitu clonal, that the orders of the Government should be obeyed. On the 15th, the constitutional Alcaldes of Barcelona, following up this decision, issued a proclama tion, ordering—First, that no National Guards should assemble in arms in any part of the capital, unless or dered to do so by the competent authorities; secondly, that every person violating this order should be treated as a rebel ; and, thirdly, that all persons assembling under pretext, uttering seditious cries, or making any demonstration against the legitimate authorities, should also be treated as rebels. On the same day General Van Haien issued his proclamation, declaring the city in a state of siege, and placing all the authorities under his own immediate control, and also the following pro ' ' -• clamation : " Inhabitants of Barcelona—ln execution of the orders of the Government, I have just entered the capital with the troops under my orders. My mission consists in executing in all their extent the superior orders of the Regent of the kingdom. The constant will and desire of his Highness are that, in this industrious city, the em pire of the laws and the triumph of the constitutional cause may be insured, and that public order and personal safety may be consolidated. To attain this object under the direction of one supreme authority, seconded by the other .authorities in their respective spheres, and in con formity with the orders of the Regent, I have in another proclamation, dated this day, declared the city in a state of siege. This exceptional state of things, far from hav ing a tendency to diminish civil and political rights, will tend, I assure you, to your protection and aid. I will employ the extraordinary powers, which are en trusted to me only, for the chastisement of the guilty, and by legal means. I will neglect nothing for the com pletion, as far as possible, of the orders of the Govern ment, within the limits of the laws. lam much pleased that before my entry into the capital, the constitu tional Alcaldes had thought proper to adopt measures for the maintenance of public order, according to the terms of the proclamation which has been pub lished. Desiring to confirm this salutary arrange ment, and to give to it all the support in my power, I order, therefore, as follows:—Article 1. Every per son belonging to the National Guard, or non military, who shall appear in the streets armed, or employ his arms against public order, and therefore con sidered as a rebel, shall be shot.—Art. 2. Persons armed and acting as the Municipal Guard, or as flying-patrol, are excepted from the above.—Art. 3 is in the same words as Art. 3 of the proclamation of the Alcaldes.— Art. 4. Every person who by speech or writing shall disobey, or excite to disobedience of my orders, made in virtue of the powers conferred upon me by the Govern ment, shall be regarded as a rebel.—Art. 5. In order to try those who may violate the preceding orders, there shall be created a military commission, which shall con form itself to the provisions of the law of April 17, 1821, and to the last decisions come to respecting riots and disorder. "The COUNT DE PE lt ACAMPS (Van Haien)." THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO. ' In the New York papers which arrived about a week ago, there was an account of the sanguinary contest in Mexico, brought down to the 2d of September. How ever, in the German papers which reached town yester day, we find later intelligence. A private letter, dated from the Mexican capital September 14, received by a house in Hamburgh, gives a variety of details, from which we make a few extracts : " Mexico, SEPT. 14. " About midnight on the 31st of August I hastened to the window in consequence of an uncommon noise in the street. I saw an immense number of people running here and there. At first I thought they were avoiding the rain, which was then falling very heavily, but I soo, a l n n y e near eraet observed that our neighbours were carefully shutting and fastening their windows. Very soon, to astonishment, I learned that General Valencia, lation of the President Bustamente, who a few • fought against the revolution, and who on thaYtearacscoaugnei prese against the received within these few weeks the honourable tation of a valuable sabre, had declared against Government. Here such men are not said rebel, they only pronounce, and the rebels call themselves ' Pronun ciados. The best troops have pronounced with General Valencia, and he has taken possession which was once a tobacco mdainteufhactory,beuft the is n ow citadel, for tifiedthought that and surrounded by a insurgent troops is said to have varied from 700 to 2,000, The number of the muchb ut it u is n n' til t S t an h comes from Vera Cruz. alencia will venture to do President Bustamente has a very inferior The left the Palace, and was 0 the force. life has Monas tery of St. Augustin, nearrt lst instant in the which I live. During the whole of that night I heard the soldiers calling out their watchwords, ' Q u i en t ' Sentinela alerte r All warehouses and stores have lre f been closed since the Ist. That morning there was a oo g (Ideal of firing from St. und erstaud it was directed only against the route taken by some deserters, who making their were their escape. " On the 7th the Cortes was declared in a state of siege. On the 11th the President advanced with his troops against the citadel, but he soon fell back, as he was afraid of being cut off. It is said that Santa Anna is in Peroti, and it is thought he will not be able to ad vance any further, as it is said the Government has posted 700 cavalry in such a manner as to prevent him from passing the Plain of Puebla. ." Since the French blockade, the Government is afraid of giving offence to European Powers. A bulletin has therefore been addressed to the foreigners, desiring them to put out their national flags on their houses, so that if there should be any plundering, it should all fall upon the Mexicans only ; but as yet no flags have ap peared. The Archbishop went , yesterday to the Ca thedral to try Pronu • to make peace, but the . netados will not listen to him. General Paredes is expected to arrive on the 17th with fourteen pieces of cannon and 3,000 men. It is probable that Bustamente will then be ..abandoned by all his troops. The leaders have issued long proclamations, addressed to their respective parti sans _; that- of Bustamente is dated the 1 0th, Valencia's is dated the 13th." .

ROYAL ARTILLERY. The officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Royal Artillery, whose routine of duty caused them to be stationed at the Tower of London at the time the late fire took place, have had their exertions on that oc casion noticed in very just and flattering terms as fol " General Order, Nov. 23, 1841. lows : " The Master-General having had before him the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into all the circumstances connected with the late fire in the Tower, and having received likewise from Major Elrington, Fort-Major of the Tower, a communication expressing the high opinion he entertains of the services of the Royal Artillery, not only in the removal of the powder, but of their exertions equally with the other troops to check the progress of the flames on that calamitous occasion, the Master-Gene ral has much pleasure in expressing his thanks to Cap tain Archibald Maclean and Lieutenant Radcliffe, as also to the non-commissioned officers and men of the detachment of Artillery which formed part of the gar rison of the Tower, when the above calamitous event took place. " The order and regularity evinced by the detachment, as also the zeal, intelligence, and perseverance displayed by each individual, under circumstances requiring, in a pecu liar manner, the union of caution with promptitude, and with continuous exertion, were such as perfectly to sustain the high character which the Royal Artillery has so long deservedly enjoyed in the service. " li. I). ROSS, Colonel, " Deputy-Adjutant-General." ROYAL MARINES. Lieutenant Hawkins and a detachment of Royal Ma rines, who served during the last four years in the Se ringapatam, 42, Captain J.

One of the most extraordinary performances ever, perhaps, attempted with success, came off at Slough on Tuesday last. A pony only 12 hands and 1 inch in height, 6 years old, the property of Mr. Watkins, of Windsor, was matched, and backed for a large sum, to trot 14 miles within the hour. Sums to a very consider able amount were depending upon the event. The pony started a few minutes before three o'clock at the mile stone between Slough and Salt-hill to the Dumb Bell, near Maidenhead, and back, performing that eight miles in 331 minutes, viz., the first four miles in 17 minutes 14 seconds, and the second in 16 minutes 16 seconds. It then went three miles, out and in, to the place of start ing, and accomplished the last six miles in 26 minutes, winning the match in beautiful style, and as fresh as at the onset, but with only 30 seconds to spare. The pony was ridden by a boy 14 years of age, and weighing only 641 b. Looking at the Lilliputian size of the nag, the distance covered within the hour, and the way in which the little'-un got over the ground, causing the riders of many good-looking horses, double its size, to give in after accompanying it for the first eight miles, this perform ance may be considered one of the most extraordinary upon record. The owner, on the ground, offered to back him to perform 15 miles within the same time. The whole town was shocked on Friday at learn ing that the Venerable the Archdeacon Hutchins was no more ! This lamented clergyban dined on the preceding evening with his Excellency the Governor, and soon after ten o'clock quitted the Government house in his usual excellent health and spirits. He rose at bis or dinary hour, about seven in the morning, and while in the act of dressing fell to the ground, and almost instantly expired.—Hobart Town paper. THE WEATHER IN RUSSIA.—The Moscow Gazette says, that the eac2ssive heat which has prevailed during the whole summer in the government of Kishoma, has caused extensive fires in the forests, which continued till the middle of September in spite of all the exertions made to stop their progress, and that they did not cease. ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.--FOr the past few days we have experienced all the severity of winter, the thermometer at times ranging two degrees below Zero. With this frost, however, the atmospherehas been generally clear, and often the sun has shone with un clouded brightness, contrasting strangely with the cold looking azure around. It is, perhaps, to be considered a remarkable circumstance that both on Monday and Tuesday nights repeated flashes of vivid sheet lightning mingled their fitful gleams with the glittering stars which nub t h yea e ans i rrkotb Somerset HONESTY e g ri h st e t n n at gn e . hl s ka s on, . u—dbs. be - perceived poAarenkfr After ee.ri dißEWAßDED.—OnHerald.seeeds studded the heavens, and for the instant overpowered gen tleman called a cab, 1,910, off the rank in the Strand o b t nh driveoe 1 t , gentleman with tthe th e ends of some Bank notes hanging out of it, lying at the bottom of the cab among the straw.

JUDGE LEFROY —We have heard, f rom a well-informed Tory quarter, that the Duke of Northum berland held up his hands in utter amazement, on learn ing that the Government hail determined to make Mr. lefroy a Judge, and that his Grace exclaimed "This is, indeed, too had. If Mr. Lefroy really be a Jude,-g as the Orange organs have boasted, why h as h e not ta k en his seat ? The Packet tells us Baron Foster has consented to vacate the Exchequer, in order to make room for Mr. Lefroy, of course, as the junior Baron, the Learned Ve teran having abandoned practice these ten years. If so, why does he not take his seat in the Exchequer, and why does not Mr. Foster , if he has ceased to be a Baron, make his appearance i u the Common Pleas, where he should become the J uni or Judge also, - although he is, or h a d b een , third Baron of the E xc h equer ? We beg th a t the Mail or Packet will yourhsaf e an answ er 'to these ques tions.—Dobitn Evening Poet.
