should remain in office ? For the proceedings relative to Mr. Herries, they have been but an episode in the political history of the day—one, however, the result of which affords an addi tional guarantee for the duration of the Cabinet, from the fund which it has exhibited of public epirit, conciliating temper, and utter intolerance e;f Tory politics and persons, as well in his Ma jesty as in the members of his Administration. Well, now that the abuse for forming such a Ministry has been given up, and the charge of corrupt and criminal inconsistency has been scouted by the public as untenable, what is the last expedient of the Tories ? They actually find out that the Cabinet is " torn by factions," that they are " all pulling different ways," and forming " contradictory objects of ambition." We can say with perfect truth, that these tales are as absurd as their motives are malignant and desperate—that there is no difference of senti ment, or contrariety of object, or ground of dis union in the Cabinet—that, on the other hand, there is as complete an incorporation of feelings, and identity of views, and harmony of purpose, ea: has existed in any Cabinet at any period of English history. Events will show who is right. A pretty probable story, that having surmounted the only difficulty upon the cards—and one of which pure mischance was the occasion—the - .Ministers should now make new ones, for no end on earth but to serve the public enemy ! Times. The Dublin Evening Post, of Tuesday last, has the following accusation against the Esta blished Clergy of Ireland : " Turn where we will, take what path we may, the mis chievous agency of the Clergy encounters us—their evil '-....icence besets us—the positive injury they do to the morality as well as to the peace of the country, as sails us. If we read of some gross act of power committed by a Bench of Magistrates, we are sure to find a Parson amongst them—if we find a particular district of the country more than ordinarily agitated, we are certain of diseover;ng a political Clergyman at the bottom of the dis turbance—if there be a public meeting distinguished by pe culiar ferocity of phrase, or by the force of its insurrec tionary appeals to the worst passions of the people, we are prepared, from the very enunciation of the topics used at such assemblies, to find some riJi Pluralist, or raking Orangeman, with Reverend prefixed to his name—some Robinson, Miller, Graham, or Lees—preaching sedition, and invoking the furies of civil strife upon the country. We must not be blamed, therefore, for encountering these persons with the weapons which the Constitution ' has put into our hands.—Sincerely and most truly do we aver, that we are sorry fcr the part which necessity com pels us to take in their regard. The character of a Priest ought to be respectable, and would be so, whatever Lis ?.euets might be, if he knew how to respect himself." The character of a Priest ought to be respect able, and would be so, whatever his tenets might be, if he knew how to respect himself !" Has our Dublin Contemporary then forgotten what was lately stated' in the Howe of Commons by Lord Plunkett, that the only means of procuring respect for religion itself, in these times, was wealth? And does he imagine, that the Clergy do ail this " positive injury to the morality as well as to the peace of the county," in order to shut themselves out from the possession of wealth ; that is—according to one than whom dMr. O'Connell) " no man has the faculty of iscovering truth in higher perfection ; no man can detect error with such facility, or expose it with so little effort, and so much clearness '—to shut themselves out from the means of making themselves respectable ? The Irish Clergy, we may be assured, would not distinguish themselves beyond the rest of their countrymen in gross acts of power, in creating disturbances, in preaching sedition, and appealing to the worst passions of the people, if they were not pretty certain, that such a course is the easiest and surest road to advancement ; that is, to the making them selves more aria more respectable, by commanding more and more the means of ensuring respect. Dr. Doyle, it is true, says in his Pastoral Letter co the Clergy of the Deanery of Kilcock, that poverty is the eradle in which Christianity was nursed, and riches have always been its bane. . But Lord Plunkett and the Clergy understand this matter better than the Founder of Christia nity, or Dr. Doyle. Lord Plunkett and the Clergy have improved upon the Scriptures, avail ing themselves, very judiciously, of the lights which the march of mind has enabled them to discover. It is happily observed by Dr. South, that great ornament of the English Church, that so long as " none but poor weak fishermen preached Christianity," it was in a bad way ; but the accession of a man of distinction " silenced the scandal, as well as strengthened the Church." " What is it," he adds, " that kept the Church of Rome strong, athletic, and flourishing, for so rnany centuries, but the happy succession of the choicest wits engaged to her service by suitable preferments," The Irish Clergy, we may be sure, are not deficient in the wish to obtain suit able preferments ; and we should be very much disposed to rely a good deal on their instinct as to choosing the most suitable means for that suit -t-ale end. As long as power is propitiated by the sort of services which the Irish Clergy now render in their magisterial capacity, we may ex pert to see them anxious to be in the Commis ' sion, and willing to perform the condition On which alone their circumstances can be bettered. It is the system which calls into activity the euetives of the Church Militant that we ought chiefly to blame.—Moraing Chronicle. We perceive, by the article of our City Cor reeponitent, that the Exchanges _are not at all imp r oving, and that gold is going ati,t of the country. We had, come time ago, occasion to advert to this subject, when we pointed out the effect of any considerable decline in the ex- changes: it is therefore not necessary to repeat those consequences here. We may observe, however, that if any farther considerable decline should take place, there will be a decided profit on she exportation of gold, and we may then shortly expect to gee the sovereigns take their depar i ture. Th e flight of gold does not arise, as is supposed by some, fi•orn the issue of paper ; it is, in fact, the effect of the balance of trade, a nd consequently of the remittances, being against us. if our importations of Continental produce are greater than our exports of Engl i sh goods or produce, of course the difference THUS N e made op in sprzie ; or, in other words, instead of bein g able to send bills to check the Continental de mands upon us, we are necessitated to transmit gold. in this state of things the exchanges are mid to he against us ; and the natural conse quence of their being against us i.s, the flight of the precious metals. With all this we do not see what the issuing or de non-issuing of paper : n'onev has to do. It is very true that when the id Coi n l ea v e s uc, it is necessary, in order to keep ‘ l ll the circulating medium, to increase the ®f 0 • quantit l cf the go ld go er money. But this is the effect i 044 rf ing out of the country, not the cause. W. - , understand that commercial men havezio app mar pension that the exchanges will ),- osee-uttlYet° any thing like the extent that they did en Oi ',i , .

The importation of grain which has lately taken place has no doubt had the effect in some degree of turning the Exchanges against us. If the present harvest had been a bad one, or if the Government had permitted any thing like a free importation of grain, there can be no doubt that the Exchanges must have fallen very materially. As to the gold which is now ex porting, the probability is that it is intended for the payment of the Russian armaments. In re ply to some -observations of our's yesterday on the probability of a new loan being about to be rais ed for Russia, an evening contemporary has the following remarks : " It was some time ago as serted by a paper, which pretended to speak horn positive Information, that the produce of the last Russian Loan was not expended, but kept in the treasury at St. Petersburgh in specie." Now, if this were the case, we ask why the Rus sian Government found it necessary to purchase gold at Hamburgh for the payment of the expe dition then about to proceed to the Mediter ranean ? Surely, if the fact was as the paper al luded to has asserted, they would have had no thing more to do than to unlock the Treasury, and take out the necessary quantity of gold. In stead of which, however, their demands for gold at Hamburgh occasioned a profit of between three and four per cent, to the holders of that commodity. We 'lava thrown together the above hasty remarks, not so much for the pur pose of giving our opinion upon the present state : of the Exchanges, and the Money Market, as to put our readers in possession of the facts relat ing to this very important question.—Morning Herald. Another of those quibbles, of which the law even in its reformed state, to the surprise of every body, appears to have been of late more than usually fruitful, occurred a few days since at the Mansion-House. A man is taken up charged with issuing a forged cheque upon a banking house, signed "L. Stanhope." The banker's clerk proves that they have no such customer as " L. Stanhope," and no person who has a right to draw upon them under that signature. Now this, we should imagine, in the absence of any testimony on behalf of the accused to the con trary, is prima facie evidence of its being a false bill, and as such, in the eye of the law and com mon sense, a forgery. But it turning out in evi dence that the prisoner had mentioned the name of the Hon. Leicester Stanhope, and it appear ing also that there was likewise an Hon. Lin coln Stanhope, it was held necessary (though one or both were supposed to be abroad) that they should be summoned to attend, to speak to the signature before the case can go to a Jury. Now this we cannot for the life of us understand. A prima facie case of forgery being made out, surely it is the business of the accused to rebut it if he can. In this case it may be rebutted for aught we know ; and the observations we are offering may rather tend, by the additional pub licity we thus give it, to its being so, than not. But it appears to us, that if there be any thing in the rule adopted upon the occasion, and if the prosecutor is called upon to produce one " L. Stanhope," he is equally bound to produce all the L. Stanhopes in the universe. According to this, a man has only to go to a tradesman and say he is the friend of " Mr. Thomas Smith," pre sent a cheque signed " T. Smith," and though the banker declares he has no " T. Smith" upon his books, yet all the T. Smiths in the kingdom (of whom there are one or more in nearly every parish) must - be brought to the Old Bailey to say the cheque in question is pot his. We may. be wrong ; but the principle strikes us to extend to this length, or to be nothing.-16a. Last night's Gazette announces that his Ma jesty has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, appointing Lord Goderich, Mr. Herries, Earl Mount Charles, Lord Eliot, the Right Hon. Maurice Fitzgerald, and Edmund A. M , Naghten, Com missioners for executing the office of Treasurer of the Exchequer. It also states that letters patent have been passed, to grant to Mr. Herries the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and to Mr. C. Grant that of Treasurer of the Navy. It will be seen by this arrangement that the number of the Lords of the Treasury being greater, as we stated some days ago, than that authorized by Act of Parliament, (in conse quence of the sreparation of the two offices of Fist Lord of the Treasury anti Chancellor of the Exchequer) Lord Leveson Gower is, as we also stated that his Lordship would be, the re tiring Member. The constitution of the Mi nistry is thus completed, even as far as points of form are concerned, and the country will now enjoy the benefit of a compact, strong, and united Government. The permanence of the system, which alone can promote her interests at home and maintain her character abroad, is now secured. All possibility of a change is at an end. The enemies of his Majesty's policy have tried their strength and done their worst, and the struggle is past. The late crisis raised, but only raised, to extinguish their hopes. Had it come within the designs of Providence that they should resume the direction of this great empire, the difficulties which attended the settlement of the Administration would have opened a way for their return. A sudden and unexpected lAA seemed breaking'upon them, but the :,op portunity, the fairest and the only opportunity which they could ever enjoy of regaining power, has proshiced no change in their condition, or merely served to inflict additional disappoint ment upon them. All prospects of ambition are, therefore, closed for them, and if they are as wise and patriotic as it is their wish to be considered, all their future efforts will be directed, not to impede the much of the Government, but to assist it in protecting and advancing the best in terests of the country,--e-WelP Mies. It has been said that Mr. Canning had, for some time previous to his death, been engaged in minute ;ininiries into the internal management of the British Coloukes, and that he meant to submit to the Cabinet some very extensive plans of reform with respect to,their financial and poli tical administration. And without giving ear to e xaggerated statements of grievances, where the facts very sego; :q bear out the averments and where the remedies sought, proceed, for the most part, upon narr ow an d superficial views, it may be conceded without reflecting either on Governors or on the Government, that there is much in our Colonial system that asks for revi sion. Not a . fy7.l all portion of the irregularity, which more or less prevaik..; in all our Colonies, arises out of the circumstances under which they were a.eluired. The Spaniards, the Portuguese, and, mire 4te,ly, the Dutch—the other three great Colonising Powers of Europe—formed their rettletnents in America, . 4 . lf4c a , and Asia, amidst a people so rude and uncivilised, com pared with their eonquerots, that the latter were inclined to deny that they possessed a common nature. It was not to be suppssed.in such cases that customs or opinions which they despi,.:ed would be allowed for a moment to stand in the way ofthe establishment ofsuch codes oflaws as appear ed best adapted to the regulation and welfare of the free settlers ; and, in point of fact, we find at this day, with such modifications as peculiar circum stances called for, the Spaniard, the Portuguese, and the Hollander, living abroad under precisely the same regulations that his forefathers consi dered best fitted for their security at home. The circumstances under which Great Britain came into possession of her Colonies were different, and the result has been also different. The Colonies in the West Indies had, when they fell into our hands, been long possessed by the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the French—nations in point of civilization, on an equality with our selves. In all of them we found laws established and customs prevalent, which it might have been unwise, and which it must have been difficult, to abrogate and change. In the East Indies again, we were but a handful of adventurers in the midst of a mighty nation, which derived its institutions, civil and religious, from a period long antecedent to the origin of the English monarchy; and which, had anv sudden and violent attempt been made to substitute for them the laws or the creeds of Europe, might have hurled from its shores the strangers who wished to disturb what time had so long hallowed to their imaginations...—. These then are the causes why, in the treatment of her Colonies, Great Britain has been in some measure compelled to adopt rather a series of expedients than a general and , comprehensive plan of management, and these are the causes :why, even now, a general system cannot be .pur sued in regard to our colonial possessions.— 'There are also local causes which forbid this. We have Colonies consisting of a handful of Europeans, and an immense free population, the majority and minority opposed to each other in almost every particular in which men can differ— in religion, habits, manners, complexion ; such are our possessions in India. We have Colo nies in which the numbers of white and black are not less disproportioned, and where the latter are slaves to the former ; such are our posses sions in the West Indies. We have Colonies wrested from Europeans, where the process of amalgamation between the original settlers and their conquerors may be looked on as nearly complete, as Canada ; and we have others where it is hardly begun, as the Cape of Good Hope. Lastly, we have settlements composed wholly of Englishmen, as Botany Bay ; but Englishmen under such circumstances, that to apply to them the same rules as are applied to their countrymen at home, would be the extreme of legislative folly, These diversi ties tend greatly to complicate the question of colonial reform, and though they do not abso lutely preclude, they render the application of general rules a matter of much nicety, of much calculation, and liable to numerous local modi fications and exceptions. Many complaints have, from time to time, been made of the excessive powers of Colonial Governors, and it i s not to be denied that Governors have in many cases used their powers for purposes but slightly cons nected with the prosperity of their Governments. Here, however, as in most human grievances, it is much easier to indicate the disease than to find the remedy. Any check which can be ex ercised by the courts r i or the councils at home, must evidently be in a great measure useless, for, long before it can be applied, the evil has been effected. And to establish checks in the colo nies themselves, is tantamount to the esta blishment of several independent authorities. which might.. when prpoisep. - co-- or' atiler, be productive of more mischief than good.-- One check may be established, which seems well I adapted to lessen, if not completely remove, the causes for complaint of mal-administration, namely, the rendering of all Colonial Judges ir removeable during good behaviour, as in the case of the Judges at the Cape of Good Hope, according to a late arrangement. The indepen dence of one branch is thus brought into play to compensate the independence of another—the Judicial is opposed to the Executive Power — and the dispute, should any arise, will be set tled not by an appeal to individual judgments, but to the potency of the Statute Book. The question of Juries, to which infinitely more weight is attached than it deserves, and another question, on which we may he supposed to speak with more assurance—we mean the press of the Colonies, on which much good argument has been expended to very little purpose, are also very proper subjects for Mr. Huskisson's consi deration, but we cannot at present enter on the discussion of either.—Bid. DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A PIG. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was holden at the London Hospital, before J. W. Unwin, on view of the body of Richard Dick, a middle-aged man, who died in that institution on Wednesday last. John Dick, a lad about 15 years of age, and son to the deceased, deposed that he lived with his father, in Union -court, Spitalfields. About three weeks since his father, who was in the habit of keeping and Fat tening swine, went to feed four of them that he had then in the stye, when one of them bit him in the thumb. Very little blood followed the incision, but in the course of the evening his hand and arm be came very painful. He sent witness for a dose of salts, which he took in hope of abating the pain, but it did not. His arm continued to get worse, and prevented him from sleeping during the night, and he was obliged to go to the hospital in two days afterwards, where he became an in-patient, and re mained until his death. In answer to the Coroner and Jury, the witness further stated, that the pigs had not been fed for 24 hours previous to the acci dent, and that they were very cross and ravenous when hungry; they were nearly starving when his His ii e father remembered, was and fed father had bought them , and the one that bit him was i much ad dicted pigs with the sweeping s of bak ers' shops and ct ed t o particularly drink as as cross. long oss as . warehouses, and eating-house shops. Mr. James Pickford, a pupil of the Hospital, de posed, that he had attended the deceased since his admission, which was on the 24t1 of last month. On his first examining him, he found his right hand and arm considerably inflamed, caused by the irrita tion of a wound on the thumb. The other arm, and his body, became shortly afterwards affected, and notwithstanding every means Were used to check the inflammation, from his irritable habit of body it increased, and death ensued.—Juror.—D o you think that his e , atli was occasioned by the bit e ? Pupil.—lt was the principal cause of death ; acce lerated, no doubt, by the unhealthy state of the body. Juror.--=Were there. ~ ; , ,,,,p ; •,9 rn s of hydrophobia about him ? Sir, nor was there any thing infectious in the wound.—The Jury expressed themselves satisfied with this evidence, and return ed a verdict---" That the deceased came to his death by the accidental bite of a pig."

Great exertions are being made by the Reverend Father's friends to cushion the business, but the plaintiff is determined to proceed. "PRICE OF RAW FAT, per stone of 81b.—Sept. 7.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.--- W. Buckley, alias W. Penny, was brought to this Office ,yesterday, charged with being at large, he having been capitally convicted at the Old Bailey in 1821, and sentenced to transportation for life.' Charles Reed, an officer of Union-hall, stated that in 1821, he apprehended the prisoner in St. James's-street, for robbing a gentleman of his watch ; and at the follow ing Sessions be was tried at the Old Bailey, as W. Penny, and was convicted. The Court sentenced him to transpor tation fur life. -- Vann, jun., a Bow-street patrol, stated that le apprehended the prisoner on Thursday evening, in Brick lane, Spitalfields. The prisoner said he never went by the name of Penny, and he was not the person described by Reed. Reed swore positively to him, and said that he had rea son to know him, for he received a deep cut on his head when he took him into custody. Vann was again examined, and he said that when he took the prisoner into custody, on Thursday, he said he would as soon be hanged as go back again. The prisoner denied the statement of Vann, and said that he was net 21 years old yet. Reed said that the prisoner was 21 when he was tried in 1821, es appeared by the report of the trial in the New gate Calendar. Sir R. Bigwig said to the prisoner (who appears about 30 years of age) that he supposed there was an interreg num of six years, and it put him in mind of a circumstance that occurred when a young man was brought before hint some years ago. 'The young man said he was only 19 years of age, and others swore he was 21 ; but the young man persisted he was but 19, and said that he had been two years sick.—(Laughter.) The prisoner was ordered to be committed. HATTON.GARDEN.—An attorney's clerk, who was remande.: last week on a charge of stealing papers trout the office of Mr. Taylor, and selling them for waste paper, was again placed at the bar yesterday morning. Several tradesmen produced a quantity of paper, which Mr. Taylor identified as his property, in the whole about forty pounds weight, which they had purchased of the prisoner at fourpence per pound.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. --Benjamin Burn, a li as Uncle B e n," formerly, but no longer, landlord of the Rising Sun in Windmill-street, Haymarket, and well known iu the pugilistic world, not only on his account, but " in regard of his fleecy Jena," was brought to the office on a warrant, charged with violently assaulting Mr. Austin, a livery-stable-keeper in Windmill-street aforesaid. lifr. Austin happened to he in at the Rising Sun, now kept by a Mr. Bond, whi;re, it seems, " Uncle Ben " still passes occasionally a part of his time, if not as a landlord, in the capacity of a good customer, and both himself and his worthy nez'ey chanced to be in there at the same time with Mr. Austin. Some conversation arose about the approaching fight between the nevey and O'Neil, when the former asked Mr. Austin to bet 5/. on the match with him, but Mr. Austin said in reply, that he had long since left off betting upon, or having any thing to do with pugilists or their affairs, for that they were all nothing bet ter than a set of thieves and blackguards of the very worst description. The nevey, probably feeling the truth and justice of the remark, took it very quietly, but not so " Uncle Ben ;" for he not only first dashed a whole pint of porter in Mr. Austin's face, hut struck him a desperate blow ou the mouth with his tist, which cut Mr. Austin severely. _ _ Ben was ordered to find bail for the asaulton Mr. Austin, • and to be locked up forthwith until he gave 24 hours' notice of such bail. Ben was then marched off to Tothill-fields prison, crying all the way like a great he-baby, to pay his respects to his countryman Sir Gregor McGregor, of Poyais. AIARYLEBONE.—Cnanca OF HORSE Svta. Yesterday two well-dressed men, named Timberlake and Messenger, were brought to this office, charged with stealing, at Barnet Fair, a mare, the property of Mr. Edward Jones. It appeared that the prosecutor was at the Green Dragon Inn, Barnet, on Tuesday last, and the pri soners understanding he bad a mare to dispose of, inquired the price, which was twenty-one guineas. They tendered a bill, of fourteen days' sight, for the purchase of the same ; this the prosecutor agreed to take, on condition that the mare should not be removed from the stablin g at the Green Dragon, till he was satisfied as to the validity of the bill. Oa the following day, the prosecutor discovered that the mare had been taken from the stable ; he in consequence sought an interview with the prisoners, who told him since he was dissatisfied, he might have hie hoses bask. by going into the fair, Where it wee, in the care of hi s (M e s senger ' s ) servant. The prosecutor accordingly proceeded towards the fair, it being some distance from the Green Dragon, and on the road the prisoners passed him on horseback at a rapid rate. On reaching the fair, he discovered that the prisoners, with his mare, had gone on to London. He ascertained the bill they had given him was good for nothing, and proceeded to London himself, and gave in formation of the robbery at this office. A warrant was granted, and yesterday morning the prosecutor met the pri soners on horseback at Paddington, Messenger being on the back of his mare ; he gave an alarm, and they were taken into custody. Mr. Ilossuis, the Sitting Magistrate, advised the prisoners not to say any thing at present, as they were un attended with any legal adviser. Messenger said he considered the mare his property after he gave the prosecutor the bill, which was perfectly good. The other prisoner said he had no more to do with the transaction than drawing out the bill ; he considered he had been very harshly treated in being taken into custody. They were remanded for further examination. Mr. Henry Holden, the landlord of the Devonshire Arms, Lisson Grove, was fined twenty pounds, for selling exciseable liquors, without being duly licensed by the Ma gistrates. The sale of the liquor was proved ; and Mr. James Hugo Greenwell, the Vestry Clerk of Marylebone, deposed, that the defendant was not licensed by the Ma gistrates. One of the Magistrates observed, that this was the second conviction, and no licence should be given to him. Mr. Harmer said, that the defendant had an excise licence, and produced it, and he had erred in ignorance. The MaaisvtATs directed that the record of the convic tion should be returned to the Sessions. The defendant gave notice of an appeal. UNION-HALL.---A young man named Jones, applied for a warrant against his wife. He said, that before he got married, his wife was one of the most amiable of her sex ; but no sooner were they linked together, than she wanted to be perfect master of him ; and when he attempt ed to remonstrate with her, she had recourse to the poker and tongs, and had threatened over and over again to shed his blood. He had never struck her, or provoked her to commit violence. The night before, continued the appli cant, she threatened my life. When I went home, she snatched up a knife in her hand, and taking a candle in the other, stalked to the door, and in a menacing manner exclaimed, " Jones, you shall not come to bed to me this night, for if you do, I'll serve you as the man was by his wife at Clerkenwell." Such a threat as that, added Mr. Jones, frightened me exceedingly, and I said to her, " For God's sake, Mrs. Jones, you would not be so wicked a woman as to deprive me of what would be infinitely more dreadful than the loss of life."—" Yes, but I will," she said ; and he (applicant), fearing she would put her threat into execution, rolled himself up in the carpet, and lay upon the floor all night. The Magistrate granted the warrant, and said that the truth wonld then come out on both sides. In the year 1530, the wages of husbandmen and full labourers were Bd. a day each ; com paring the prices of provisions of that period with those of the present, the industrious classes seem to have been m uc h b etter paid then t h an now. In the reign o f Henry VIII., the wages of a falconer w ere generally a groat a d ay, an d he onewas penny a dray allowed hawk intrusted to his care. A huntsman re ceived 355. sd. a quarter, and as well as most of the other servants, he had 4d. a day for his board wages. The allowance for the board of the boys of the stable, was ls. Bd. per week each ; and of « The King's riding boys," 2s. a-week each. The keeper of the Barbary horse was allowed Is. Bd. per week for his board, his wages being 41. a year; the hentaker was, however, better paid, as he received 455. 7d. a quarter. The regular wages of the King's waterinen were 10s. a quarter ; but it would appear that they were paid extra upon every occasion when they were emplowed. Sexton, the fool's servant's wages, were 15s, a quarter. The gardeners of York-place, and of Baulie, or New-hall, in Suffolk, received about 121. per annum ; the gardener of Greenwich 20/. a year ; and the gardener of Windsor and Wanstead, 41. a year, BROWN STOUT. (Extract from the Lancet.) ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—J. Smith, aged 61, a brewer's servant, of bloated and sottish ap pearance, was admitted into Isaac's Ward on the 18th of August, under the•care of Mr. Travers. He stated, that three days before admission, whilst at work, he -was attacked with pain in the stomach and chest, and he felt as if swollen. He was seen by a medical man, who gave him some medicine that afforded him much relief, but on the following day he found the right leg to be cold, benumbed, and painful, and conti nuing in this state, he came to the hospital. He readily acknOwledged that he had been in the habit of drinking three quarts or more, daily, of Calvert's stout : he was, in fact, the very prototype of brown .stout in appearance. On examining the right leg, it was found to be very cold, and had a blue mottled appearance ; the foot was cold ; the pulse at the wrist was feeble, the breathing thick and difficult. Mr. Travers not being at the hospital, Dr. Williams saw the patient, and simply directed warmth to the limb, with the exhibition of a small quantity of port wine. 20th. To-day Mr. Travers saw the patient, and found him with a livid countenance, and lips of a purple colour ; the breathing, difficult, and accompanied with a mucous rattle. The pulse at the wrist and heart's beat, very feeble. The whole of the right leg presented a dark appear ance, from the distention-of small subcutaneous veins, and varicose enlargements here and there. But the skin of the foot had a shining appear ance; it was much puffed and livid, in blotches, at the same time cold and devoid of sensation. On its sarface there were numerous small reins, the blood in which was not coagulated, but moved on pressure. The whole limb was very painful, shooting and throbbing -violently ; there was less pain felt in the toes than at first. Mr. Travers directed half a pint of port wine daily, and the following draught every four hours : Carbonate of ammonia, six grains ; Aromatic confection, one scruple; Laudanum, five minima; Infusion of cascarilla, ten drachms. Wit. The limb to be wrapped in flannel, and a bottle of hot water laid at the foot. Five grains of rhubarb pill, and a like quantity of compound extract of colocynth to be taken at night. 22d. Much the same. The numbness ex tends to about a hand's breadth above the ancle ; the foot continues livid and very cold, and the limb painful. The pulse very feeble, and bron chial affection unrelieved : the bowels relieved freely yesterday morning. Ordered to repeat the pills, and continue the draught. 24th. No amendment. He is very restless; the appearance of the leg and ,foot is Inuch as before. On the outer side of the foot there are numerous small yellow vesicles. Ordered to take a dose of castor oil, and the foll ow i ng d ra u g ht, every four hours, in lieu of the former : Spirit of nitric tether, one draebm; Laudanum, five minims; Camphor mixture, ten drachms. mix. --- The patient continued inuek illetaatne- - sfuring the following day, 25th, but expired itudiienly on the 26th, early in the morning. POST MORTXX IeXAMINATION. This was conducted by Mr. Solly, on the iia", after the patient's decease. The lungs were found to be gorged. with sed blood, and the bronchial passages abounding in viscid phlegm. There was a considerable quan tity of serum effused in each aide of the thorax, but the lunge were in no part con d eA , though it had existed lag : it therefore proba bly took place shortly before his death. In the heart, the left ventricle was dilated, and some what thickened, and there was slight disease about the mitral valve. The right side of the heart was healthy. There were a few yellow spots to be observed, here and there, beneath the lining membrane of the aorta, but, consider ing the age of the patient, it might be regarded as pretty free from disease. The vessels of the right limb were carefully examined, and found t..r. be healthy ; no deposition of mei& matter had taken place in the arteries, as was anticipated. At the commencement of the right eeternal iliac, there was a rmall fleshy body attaehcd to its lin ing membrane by a peduncle. It appeared to be a small piece of lymph, which had beeorue or' ganised, but it was not of sufficient magnitude to arrest the circulation through the vessel, al. though it is particularly worthy of notice, that to some extent above there was coagulated blood in the vessels.
