J. WONTNER, Keeper. In the 'University of Leyden is the effigies of a Russian peas:tnt who swallowed a knife ten inches long, and is said to have lived eight years, after it was cut out of his stomach. The way in which he happened to swallow this was by put ting the handle of it down his throat, in order.to promote vomiting;; but in, the retching thus ex cited he happened to - let ib the blade, on which the whole handle slipt down into his stomach, part of the blade remaining in the gullet. Ari incision was. made upon the hiindle4' which was distinctly felt, and no very remarkable symp toms took plaCe. THE HEART, GREAT VESSELS, AND CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD. So important a subject as the circulation of the blood cannot fail of being interestipg to our ge neral readers; roe shall therefore lay .before them a brief account of it, divested of that corn plication which renders only intelligible to anatomists. The heart, by the contraction of which the blood is circulated, has arising Out of it two great blood vessels, whose bran Ches extend to all parts of the body, accompanyi ng each, other throughout : t h e one •i s t h e great artery, the aorta,- and the other the great vein, or . vena caw:. The heart bas also two other great•vessels arising from its other 'Side, one called the great artery of the lung's, or pulmonary artery, tke other, the great Vein of the lungs, or piamo \very-Vein. Lei 'us therefOre keep in - view that -heartthas fOttr large trunks communicating ‘v.ith' it, and that at the junction of each with the. heort, thereare placed'Valves, most beautifully per feCt , which actin such a mannerastoadinit the tide of blood through its own proper,channel, in passing and '-'epassing the heart and lungs, and to home= diatel y fly up and prevent its improper return, like ft ood-gates. Arteries are always accom panied -by veins closely connected together—the arteries carrying the blob(' from the heart—the veins eai rying it back to it. An artery is elastic, and can d:intract and dila te--a vein is an inactive flaccid tub e. An artery has no valve in its whole course to the extremities of the body—a vein has valves placed at very short distances. These valves are to support the upper column of blood as it ascends from below hack to the heart, fly ing up and tithing as a floor to that portion of blood which is above it and between the next valve and itself, thus every motion of our limbs rnoves the blood in their veins, and that motion can be no other than upwards, on account of those valves, while the motion of the blood in the :arteries is directly from the contraction. of the 'heart, and it has a free current to the extreme parts of the body. With this ,- general 'view in mind, let us proceed to describe the circulati on . The blood is sent out at one gush, or pulsa tion, throughout the whole body into the most minute branches of tire arteries; those arteries make a turn, and, losing their elasticity, become velios, which grow large in proportion as they towards • the heart, and lie exactly in the 'course of *heir coPresponding arteries. Into these veins the blood is therefore forced after haling supplied the various secretions of the body. This blood is thus brought hack by the great vein, or vena cava, and at its junction with the left ..1 11 P+ir and subciaviau vein it receives by a little' tube th e white chyl e , ~or essence of the food brought by that tube from the stomach. The blood is then unfit.for the arteries, and therefore is carried into one little cavity of the heart, and at one P u l sat i on i< driven by the pul monar y artery into th e hugs, where, coming in contact with the air through their Membranes, it absorbs oxygen from air breathed, which changes its colour from dark to bright red. The blood thus prepared for into t % i i tother the supporting lif e i s taken back hy the pulmona r y v aorta ao,f andi b h y ea o r n t .vpv pulsation s c a h t in c o otn i: niet tl'nnsi c :Les the s r e sent to all parts of the body, returning again as before th roug h the veins ; and this course takes place at every pulsation of that great and beau tiful machine of the heart.—(Medical ..Idviser.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. Lon ----- COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 12. GOURLAY V. DUKE OF SOMERSET. His Lordship, on entering the Court, observed that he in tended to have given judgment in this case; hut, preparatory to his doing so, it Was necessary to have certain plans, which had been referred to in the course of the cause, properly authen ticated, in order that he might be certain that they were iden tical plans on which his decision must ultimately depend.— For this purpose he. must have affidavit* made by the parties on each side. Mr. Gourley rose, and in. a vehement tone remarked, that the machinery of the Court of Chancery - was not adapted to the due administration of.justice. The LORD CHANCELLOR, interrupting.him,said heyould not discuss such a que s ti on w i t h h im, and desired him to recol. lect where he was : after he had delivered liis judgment, if an application was properly made before him, with a view to have the case reheard,_ he would d o so , b u t he would n ot h ave the question discussed over and over again in' the irregular Manner Gourlay seemed disposed to. introduce it. Mr. Gourlay then retired. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 12. RENNET v. rotTILEL. This ,was an Action for makin,r a malicious charge Cf-felony against the•pleintiff, and also for a libel published against him, connected with the seine charge, in placards in and about the King's Bent% prison: ' • Mr. C. PHILLIPS opened the pleadings. • Mr. AnotPuus stated, that the defendant was a solicitor, and had been concerned against the plaintilin two indictments, through which he (the plaintiff) had been for some time past .confined in the prison before-mentioned. • The plaintiff's name has been repeatedly called before the public, as the keeper of the gambling-house in the neighbourhood of Pall-mall. The defendant had occasion to go into the prison on the evening of the 24th of Sept. last, having' been called thither to transact professional business. On coming down stairs, he was rudely accosted by a man of the name of JacObs, who cried out, " An informer !" " an informer !" upon which, by a law that is pe culiar to this favoured region, the luckless defendant was con veyed by a whole multitude to the pump, and most effectually drenched. In the scuffle he lost his pocket-book, with a con siderable sum - of money in it. In the Morning lie came with a Magistrate to the prison, and made a charge for assaulting him, with intent to murder, upon several of the prisoners, anictig whom the plaintiff, who had not approached to the affray nearer than 30 or 40 yards, was one.• Not content with.this mark of his partiality, he advertised his loss in the prison and the neighbourhood in hand-bills, which set forth, " Whereas he (the defendant) had beerrassaulted, with intent 'to com mit murder, and robbed on the night in question, by several persons, among whom was one Bennet, &c. The charge against Mr. Bennet was subsequently dismissed, and now lie sought recompense for the injury and defamation which he had suffered. The dirk to the :II Tistrates.d Union-hall w as th en ca ll e d , who spok e to theapplication made by Mr..Roubel at that office for a warrant to apprehend Air. Bennet, andidso to the proceed. ings in the prison,:the depositions of which, as they had been taken by him, he then read. James Easton he ari officer of the prison under the 2rlarshal. Remembered Mr. Roubel coming to the pgison on the night of the brawl. He came about the hour of 8, and had an interwiew with Jacobs, who spoke to him on some matter of business PI RICStVENPEkCE. DISSECTION OF THURTEEL. but nbt being quite prepared, it was postponed till next day, at 11. o'clock., He went up stairs to Mrs. Pigott's room. ,Soon after, at half-past 8, the bell rang, to give notise that no more strangers would be admitted, and that those who were in Must go out. Jacobs knocked at Mr. Pigott's room to inform him that he could not stay longer. Soon after Mr. Rot;lio'_ came down stairs ; as he advanced, he heard a noise on the'stair case. He heard some person say, " Here he i;;." Somne:one had - preceded him down stairs, and was seized instead of him. He was forced out to the back of the prison. He said he was immediately seized by a person named Bennet. He said he immediately afterwards missed his pocket-book, and that Bennet was the person who took it. I asked him if he knew the person of Bennet. He said he had known hint a consider able time. I said, there were two or three Bennets in the pri. son. He said he could not be mistaken, it was Bennet whc was concerned in the prosecution with Oldfield. I asked if I should send for Bennet into the office. He said he did not wish to see Bennet, but he wished to have his room searched immediately. I went to the chambers. Bennet was coming down stairs with a light in his hand: I told him I had some thing to say to him. I sear ch e d hi s rooms b oxes, and linen, acclosely as I could search it, and found nothing upon him./ Bennet produced the keys. ,I searched for:, r s ed. Irsoroseo 4 pocket-hook and six, 10/. notes, whi c h were lost. 'I found ses veral notes, but none so low as 101. I crane back and told Mr. Roubel. I had the pocket-book cried, with a reward of 101., in the prison. Bennet had no intimation of the search I Was to make. Cross-examined.—Mr. Roubel said that one. Gore had treat ed him ill as he was going out. I told the circumstance to Gore; who said, " How could he lose six 101: notes, when he toldsine he had lost 60 sovereigns ?" °Mr. Roubel said, I said 601., and not sovereigns. William Hewitt called—Remembeas a warrant brought to the prison by'Mr. Roubel. When he lodged it, lie asked me if Mr. Bennet was not to be put in the strong room. Mr. Allen, Magistrate of Union-Hall, called.—l attended three days at the prison. Mr. Roubel was there every day, it' thy memory is right,* attended by Mr. Platt. Every witness was called, whose name could be suggested as parties likely to be implicated. The result was, that five or sin persons, Hav ing been charged either with the felony or the assault, were discharged. The charge was for an assault with intent to commit murder. My clerk took the examination in full. I took rather a full memorandum. On the examination there were posting bills produced with the numbers of the lost notes in them. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT.—Mr. Roubel satisfied me that one or two of the numbers had beets introduced by mis take. lam not quite sure that the mistake was not brought to his recollection by the opposite party. I recollect now perfectly that his attention was calle.eto it by Mr. Harmer, solicitor to Mr. Bennet. "Re-examined by Mr. Anor.PitTeS.—All the witnesses were called for Mr. Roubel. He stated where he had got the 101. notes which were lost. I don't recollect.what was the name of the banker. John Escudier, late Proprietor of the Pulteney Hotel, was present on the night of the tumult —saw Mr. Bennet before it took place—remembers a scuffle and noise. Bennet lodged in the staircase of No. 8; he was in the grocer's shop with several other persons. He came after that to me—before the noise—we were together. He was standing by the side of me. He was not very Well at the time—the gout had just left his feet. On hearing the noise, we went togethe; opposite the state-house— that is near the gate. The noise seemed to come from the other side of the bench, near the pump which is called the dolphin e neverrdus: It e n nearer was o the pump dark, and w e could not see the pump. Bennet was i n tt my company whil e the noise was going on at the pump, H e was rather clum sy to wa lk a t the time ; I did no t see him take p u P rn a p m t P fs'a n I that, ire r e t which urned is t° about No. e . 0 3 3 o n r d 4O yard any part in the transaction ; the noise lasted less than a quarter of an hour. Bennet had on a black coat and waistcoat, and white handkerchief. (This description of the .dress differed given in the depositions as to th e plaintiff.) from that Cross- ex amined.-1 heard the people cry out" Informet." that the person they were p ump i ng upon against Bennet and Oldfield. John - El't z s er a ld was pr i soner in the B ench in September last ; remember s th e n i g h t o f t h e tumult; was then on No. 8- s t a ircase ; ther e was a person named Brown . in the shop with ' me ; I heard th e cry of " Pull up " several rinses ; Brown and I cam e out, a n d stopp e d at the bottom of No. 8 staircase ; Mr. B enn et lived on the same staircase, and lie came up t o us . W e heard the handl e o f the pump going very fast. B ennet cause f la d d id io n f o o t rin hear ed t h em say from towards the tap.

Saw Mr. B ennet at the time of the riot, who remained t close to the witness the whole of the time, and took no part in the transaction. Cross-examined —Bennet bought nothing of me. I don't keep a shop. I don't sell oysters. I did at the beginning of the season. I don't know that he ever bought oysters of me. 1 have no particular acquaintance with dir. Bennet. I can't say when I saw him last. I' saw Oldfield at breakfast this. morning. I had no particular acquaintance with either of them. do not move in Mr. Oldfield's class of life ; there are different classes in the Bench. Charles Hanfield is cousin to 'the defendant, and printed the bills proclaiming She loss and reward.—(Bill put in and read.) HUN. Pmt entertained an opinion that he was to suffer on Friday morninn. with Thurtell; and under that impression he on Thursday afternoon wrote a letter to his mother, which he sent by the post, enclosed in the following letter to his attorney •: " 'Sir, I shall feel grateful if vou will forward this to my unfor tunate mother, as I do not know where she lives. " Your's respeetfully, " J. HtiNT. "- The letter to his mother is as follows :-:- " Hertford Gaol,, Jan. 8, 1824. "My beloved Mother —This you must consider as the last acknowledgment of my duty and gratitude to you for the inn_ form affection I have experienced at your hands, and the kindness you have manifested tinting my unhappy sitna',ion. I have been from my birth the child of misfortune ; but the ter mination of my untoward life is, indeed, dreadful to contem plate. It is, however, now too late to reflect on the past ; and as it has pleased the Almighty that I must 'be prematurely cut off from society,, I hope • I shall be able to meet nzylfitte with confidence and fortitude, and that I shall meet with forgiveness in the next world, although I cannot. receive it from mankind in this. ;The only regret I fed is in the dis graceful death I mustundergo, because I fear it will fender more wretched those whom 1 leave behind. • But do 'not, I beg fof you, my beloved parent, destroy yzur: peace of mind by retting at my misfortune ; but pray to God for my forgive- Mess when I appeal before that great .Judge our Supteme Being. I depart this life in peaCe with all mankind ; and trust that God will forgive all those who are my enemies as .freely a s I de. J'rorit ,what passed When . I first made my &Ales sion, I did expect my life would be spaired ; buv..l: am happy to. say that I have, notwithita!,ding, devoted the , wltole. of my•time, since my apprehension, to my God, not ine'rely because I was a • guilty man, but . because,' felt I had long neglected that duty which ought to be performed by every'good Christian. Remember me kindly and affectionately to all those I leave behind; and that the blessings of Almighty God may be with You 'and my unhappy Wife, my dearest brothers and sisters, is the most fervent prayer of y our.un h appy son, JOSEPH HUNT.." . -1 - lERTroun, J Arz. 12.—Hunt continues to decline, aidd is reduced almost to a skeleton.

A clerk in the Bank of England called.—Produced four of • the lost notes, which had been paid into the Bank. Two on the 4th and Gth of October, and one on the 25t1 of September. Mr. Shuttleviorth; collector of the King's taxes in Maryle_ bone, received two of the notes produced from Mr. Robe' on the.l3th of September... . • A succes,slon of witnesses was then called to prove that most of the notes mentioned in the posting-bill had been paid away by the defendant previously to the night in question ; the 0b..! ject of the evidence being to show the malice with which the charge was made. "The CHIEF .JUSTICE was of opinion, that there was no case to support the charge of malicious accusation, which must be without reasonable cause or probability, or otherwise no ,one would ever undertake to prosecute in wriotous assault. Mi. ADOLPHUS submitted, that the case must go to the jury on the libel in publishing the plaintiff's name, for which there was neither reason nor probability froth the previous proceedings. 111 r. Scan LET T addressed the Jury for the defence, but. fused to call any witnesses. • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE directed the .fury not to give any verdict upon the matter of malicionsaccusation for the plaintiff, as there was no evidence whatever to support it. Ile believed, in point of law, that they must give him a verdict upon the libelous insertion of his name, as the chief person concerned.in assaulting and robbing the defendant. This, to •say the least of it, was imprudent. The quantity of damages to which the plaintiff; under all the cir cumstances no w b efore them, would be entitled, was for their determination. Verdict for the plaintiff upon the libel only—Damages 101. i ANCIENT GAMES.—Pallmall was a pastime not unlike golf; but if the definition of the former, gi Ven by Cotgrave, be correct, it will be found to differ Materially from the latter, at least as played in modern times.

Yesterday so soon as it was known that retal.4 tell's body was at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, numbers of medical Men, pupils, and others has - ,tened to see it. The bQdy was pl-aced on the table, in the theatre,. by order of Mr. Alma- NETLY, who will lecture ;upon it, previous to dissection. The head bad been shaved, and an incision made just-above the left hip (from whence a small quantity of blood had is sued) previous to it leaving Ilertford.—The body is in good condition, and is that of a powerful man, - and the whole figure in good proportion.; the hands handsome, and the finger nails according with it, upon which some pains had been bestowed. The face is not handsome ; -on the - contrary, it pos sesses ' a brunt .charact et i, particularly in the lower part of it ; there was about the. cheeks and eyes a character of hypo critical or' doubtfU-1 satisfaction. X. person had care of the body, who prevented any sketch of likeness being taken. {ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] The remains of Thurtell were removed on Friday night last to St. Bartholotnew'slfospital, and 'placed in a room adjoin ing the theatre of anatOniy. The crowd of persons on Satur day who attended to view the body was very great, and as the place in which it was deposited was so small, that not more than eight or ten persons could be atimi \ eced at a time-- there were continually numbers in arrear before the door of the theatre. The body of Thurtell was - iensarltabk for its muscularity and symmetry, and for the clearness of thi skin. —lt was evident that, with a local exception, he had been in a state of the most vigorous health ; and, from the appear• ance of his limbs, it was difficult to imagine that they even yet w a n te d some portion of the strength and elastici7 which seems to have once characterised them. His features were changed, though not, in the common sense of the word, distortd. The principal change was effected by the relaxation e rsivt.hiYi which unduew s of the intiscies of the cheeks ; which its life were so powerful al..] massy, and gave the appearance of dignity and strength to m t outh u f t a h c e a , nadr. the e the up c p o e n r s lip,e qu p a zz a n y :e. r z e g r iv ia e r n ge to a t L h a e heavy. The eyes were half open, and of a fine blue, not More . prominent than they are in many living faces, with the fixed ness of death. In Thurtell, when alive, they had app ea ' titer small, and th e i r co l our not obviously remarkable. Th rea e hair having been retnoved,theh ea d appeare d exceedingly well for , and the want o f expans i on ofthefe reheadwasless remarkable than in life. —The Crucian incision had been made (we believe at Hertford). It was said that a finger was cut off' there.. We remarked no such :circumstance when we saw the body at Bar_ t holomew's Hospital; and though it might hive escaped us, we think from the geheral inaccuracies of the atate;Ments on the same subject, that there is no foundation for the assertion. The dissection had not been at all proceeded with. The corpse is five feet ten inches and a half in length. Among those who were most early and most anxious in their attendance, on Satur day, were the class of peOple called phrenologists, who were all a-gog to find ev er y common prominencebehind and a b ove theiar, which they ate pleased to call, " the organ of destructiveness," or murder. Most unfortunately for the cultivators of this science, it happens that the said bump or prominence, is not to b e found in the h ea d o f w h at was Thurtell—in other words; that the organ of destructiveness was not at all ptominent or de veloped. This was " water in the shoes" of the phrenolo gists ; but what was still worse, was, that " the organs of be nevolence" and.of " caution," were strongly marked. They, however, consoled themselves with saying, that the organ of courage was very large, and - that the int e ll ectua l organs seemed scarcely developed. However, these gentlemen, nothing daunted, will argue that the character of Thurtell just corres ponded to the appearances on the skull. Such is the advan tage which this science possesses - , that'll' the skull, according to their theory, suits the previously known character of the possessor it is well—if not, they make another character to suit. The head of Thurtell having been shaved afforded the better opportunity for these remarks. ict a
