AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets, Seminal Weaknes, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries 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 developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, lass of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success fill practice, and at on,. safe, speedy, and effectual, is adopted by the Author.

THEWEATIIER AND THEHA nvEsT.--The weather during the last week has been somewhat unsettled, and a good deal of rain has occasionally fallen, but not, we believe, to such an extent as to do any material injury either to the corn which •is standing, or that which is cut. The air has been rather coal, ha consequence of the wind inclining to the north add north-east, particularly on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, which two latter days were very fine, no rain fell, and there was a fine drying breeze. The potatoes, turnips, and grass lands have been much benefited by the rain, and the farmers hope that if the weather continue dry and cool, there will be no danger of the cut grain sprouting. Should the weathtit continue dry for a week or two, the granaries of this neighbour hood will be much more occupied than they have been for several seasons past. —Aianchcater Herald, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING; AUGUST 24, 1827. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CHICUIT.---MAIDSTONE, Aix. 22. • The prisoner Henry Norman, who was convicted of a very atrocious burglary at Lewes last week, and received sentence of death, has been respited by Mr. Justice Park since his arrival in this town, his Lord ship entertaining some doubt as to the sufficiency of the proof of leis identity. HOLDING• CARTER. This was an action to recover damages for an al leged false and deceitful representation made by the defendant to the. plaintiff, respecting the character and competency of a Captain Estell. • Verdict for the defendant.' charge, for he would immediately summon him before the Court of Requests for the balance of his wages, and then the defendant could, if he dared, substan tiate his charge. When before the Commissioners at the Court of Requests, the defendant had repeated his accusation; and it was for having , done so that the present action was brought. The plaintiff in vain urged him to put the charge into some tangible shape, so as that he could meet it : but this the defendant had declined, and consequently ren dered the present action ,imperative.—The plaintiff was nonsuited.• Thomas Mills?late head waiter at a society called the " Grafton Club," in Bath, was indicted for em bezzling two sums , of one guinea, and 11. 10s., alleged to have been paid to him on account of his master; Mr. Riley, the proprietor of the house where the club held its meetings. From the evidence of Mr. Riley, it appeared, that the prisoner 'kept a waste-book, in which was en tered all the small pecuniary concerns of the club, and their settlement by the different members. Last May the prisoner received from a gentleman named Smith, the two sums in question, on discover ing which he discharged him. • Mr. Sergeant BomPAs submitted, in behalf of the prisoner, that the indictment could not in law be sustained. The prisoner was charged with embez zleinent, but no specific sum was proved at any one time to have been received by him. The Jury, at the suggestion of the Court; acquit ted the prisoner. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—HEREFORD, Aua. 22. Thomas Jo;zes and Samuel Higgins were indicted, charged' with having feloniously stolen and taken away, on the night of the 9th of April last, one Niether sheep, the property of John Bannister. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having summed up, the Jury found the prisoners " Guilty. . . The Learned judge then addresscd•the prisoners, and Said, that the crime of which they had beeil found guilty had proceeded to such an extent, that no farmer's property was safe, and he did not know, on consideration, whether he should not be under the necessity of allowing the law to take its course. He had - great difficulty in prevailing on himself, but their lives would probably be spared : but they'must expect to leave the country for life.—Sentence of death was then recorded. The wife of one of the prisoners, who had been watching the trial with the most intense anxiety, and had evinced great intelligence in calling the witnesses to character, on hearing the last sentence of the law mentioned, changed colour, and clenched her hands together, seemingly to implore mercy, but uttered not a word; and , when she heard that her husband must leave the country for life, she dropped from her seat in a swoon. It was not till the Learn ed. Judge had called out to the bystanders to assist her, that the stupid fellows by whom she was sur rounded thought of carrying her out of Court. • HOLDER V. COATES. Mr. WHITCOMBE opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action brought by the plain tiff, who is lessee of a part of the Scatterbrain estate, to recover from the defendant a compensa tion in damages for felling an oak tree, 132 years of age; the main question in the cause being, whether the tap-root of the tree grew out of a bank belong ing to the plaintiff, or out of the land of the de fendant. Mr. Sergeant RUSSELL, for the plaintiff, stated that this action was not brought to recover the value of the tree in question, so much as to decide the boundaries of the respective estates. r The plaintiff was the tenant of a gentleman of property, who be came possessed of the Scatterbrain estate on his marriage. The defendant was an attorney of re spectability, residing at Leominster, in this county, and the lands of both parties adjoined each other.— The tree in question grew out of a bank which was part of the property,demised to the plaintiff, and it would be clearly established that the main root of that tree was in that property. The Learned Coun sel understood that the defendant, who was a lawyer, had no less than 3R witnesses, but he was utterly ignorant what defence it was intended to set up; but no doubt it would be a very ingenious one, as Mr. Coates was a very ingenious man. Several witnesses were then called on the part of the plaintiff to prove that the tree in question grew 1 out of a hedge-row, which was on the top of a hank forming the boundary line between the lands of the plaintiff and defendant. On cross-examination, however, it appeared that the tap-root of thee went perpendicularly down into the soil and freehold of the defendant. It also appeared, that when an oak grew naturally from an acorn it always had a main tap-root; but when it grew from a transplanted seedling, the root forked out into what are termed spur-roots, and some of the spur-roots of the tree in question had been cut off between the trunk and bank, which was the boundary. Six of the Jury had had a view, but they wished the defendant's case to proceed. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, considered this perfectly a scatter-brain action, but was glad the Jury wished him to go on, as he was confident, that when they had heard the evidence on both sides, the present question would be for ever set at rest. There could be no doubt that the oak, the subject of the present action had never been planted, but, had grown from accident, some acorn having been dropped there, possibly from the beak of a bird ; and the Jury, who had seen the remaining root, must have observed that the tap-root was in the soil of the defendant. In fact, 'it was so far distant from the bank, that the defendant had for years ploughed his land within the line of this tree to the foot of the bank—had planted potatoes there, and reaped them ; and he had also planted a row of young trees closer to the bank than the old oak in dispute, over which he had exercised acts of ownership by lopping side branches' long before the real plaintiff's marriage brought him to the Scatterbrain estate. The Learned Counsel then called a host of wit nesses, who proved numerous acts of ownership on ,the part of the defendant, and corroborated the prin cipal part of his opening statement. After a tedious trial, which occupied the greater part of the day, the Jury found a verdict for the de fendant. The trial of the prisoners, it is expected, will conclude to-day. WESTERN CIRCUIT.-BRIDGEWATER, Aug. '22. PAYNE V. POLLARD.—DEFAMATION. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, in stating this case to the jury, said that the plaintiff was a brewer, and tke defendant a wine and spirit merchant. They had formerly been intimate associates, but had since se parated in consequence of some unpleasant differ ences. After these list occurred, the defendant thought proper to defame the plaintiff's character by the severest calumnies, which in some degree re ceived currency from the known intimacy that had previously subsiSted between them. Such was the effect of defendant's imputations, that the plaintiff's partner had dissolved his connexion with him, by which he had sustained a deep injury. At length he appealed to a jury of his country for the redress to which, h under suck circumstances, they should The Jury, aft er a snort consultation, found a ver dict for the plaintiff--Damages, 1001. in entitled. STRANGE, V. BULLOCK. ThiS was an action of slander for charging the having robbed his m a st e r; and the de fendantplaintiff ‘‘ h entered 'it a justification upon the record. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS, in stating the. plaintiff's case said, that the plaintiff appeared before them to seek compensation for a gross injury directed against his character, under circumstances of peculiar aggra• vation. Having been bereft of his parents in early life, heisought employment and subsistence as a shopman, and had lived for a considerable time in his first situation, from which he had retired with an ex cellent character,and gone to reside with the defendant, a shopkeeper in Bath.,. With him be resided nine months, but on quitting him was refused payment of an arrear ofwages, the defendant venturing to give as a reason for his refusal, th the plaintiff had robbed him. The latter . said th at i n t h at case h e w ould soon put the defendant up on proof of his DEATH BY BOXING. Samuel Franlduz was indicted for manslaughter, upon the Coroner's verdict, for killing Geo. Seeley, at Stokesdown, in the parish of Northstoke, in this county, on the 15th May last.. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom mbnded him to mercy, on account of'his forbearance. Lord Chief Justice BEST, in sentencing the pri soner, said, that he was far the most innocent man who stood on the ground on the day of this fight ; for, whin provoked, like an Englishman he fought fairly and generously, two or three times wishing to desist, to which the unfortunate deceased had as often refused his consent. He hoped, therefore, that the prisoner's own feelings would, in his future life, be a sufficient punishment to him for the death which he had inflicted upon a fellow-creature. If, however, one of the, crowd of scandalous bystanders had been brought to trial, as they might have been for this offence, beyond all question he should, whatever were his station in life, have taken effectual care to have prevented him for the remainder of his natural existence from haying the opportunity, in this country at least, of stimulatihg his fellow-creatures to spill each other's blood for his sport and pastime. He hoped that what had passed would have the effect of making the prisoner cautious how he gave vent to his passions, and, above all, that he should never again permit himself to enter into a contest for the gratification of scoun drels who stood still during the fight, and thought thereby they kept clear from all penal responsibility. The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner, who had already been some time in custody, should suffer one week's further imprisonment. Several petty larcenies were tried. The business is expected to last until Saturday night. The Lord Chief Justice must, however, repair to open the com mission on that day in Bristol. Mr. Justice Bur rough must remain to finish the business at Bridge water. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, Alla. 21. Swan T'u►'sall, a young woman of very decent appearance, was indicted for stealing seven yards of carpet, value 11., and nine yards of binding, value Is. the property of Mr. John Austin, of Solihull, near Birmingham. The Jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty," which seemed to give great satisfaction to a crowded auditory. • This was the only case of any interest amongst those tried this morning. In the case of John Hoishaw, convicted last night of rape, the Jury recommended him to mercy, on the ground, it was said, of some slight variances in the evidence. WEDNESDAT, AUGUST 22• DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF SABIN, V. WALTON AND OTHERS. This was an action of ejectment brought to recover possession of certain property alleged to have been devised by a man of the name of Greenaway to the lessor of the plaintiff. Greenaway was a man of rather feeble mind and eccentric habits, who had executed a former will, under which the defendants held the property in question, and which will was twice contested by the lessor of the plaintiff's family on the ground of incompetency on the part of the testator. Tliey were, however, defeated each time, and now the present action was brought to recover under a will of subsequent date, alleged to have been executed by the same testator, and formed in May last, at the house of Catherine Sabin, in Welles burn. The defence was that the will was a forgery. The plaintiff was, after a long but uninteresting trial, nonsuitcd. Lord TENTERDEN then ordered the will to be im. pounded, and the witness Tant to be taken into custody, the defendant's attorney undertaking to prosecute him at the next assizes for forgery.

As soon as the dust had cleared away, the, neighbours commenced a search among the rubbish, and in the course of the morning eight or nine persons were dug out and carried to the Hospital more or less injured by fractures. A cradle was found, across which a partition had fallen, which completely acted as a shield, and in the cradle were two infant children, who were not the least injured ; their cries had led to their being disco vered. It was rumoured that two persons had been killed, but this is not true. PRICE 7D. LISBON, AUGUST 11. COUNT VILLA FLOR-THE LATE ARRESTS ' ANTICIPATED ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR DON PEDRO IV: The Conde de Villa' nor has in a great measure recovered the good opinion of a portion of his fellow-citizens, which he had lost in con- sequence of his applying insulting expressions to their assemblage,. or . acting with unnecessary rigour for their dispersion, during the late fer ment. The gallant Count (the only nobleman who eminently distinguished himself in crushing the rebellious spirit of the north, and to whom, in consequence, the Constitutionalists owe a debt of gratitude, which, like our Radicals with our national debt, they too hastily proposed to repay by the application of a sponge) was in trusted with the command of the garrison of Lis bon at a moment when vigour was supposed to he necessary, and when it was imagined that Count Sampayo, the Governor-General of the province, had cdmpromised the public safety by a mistaken forbearance. The extraordinary precipitation with which his new commission was made out and pressed upon him, taught hiM to believe that danger was to be apprehended from the mob ; and the unreasoning habits of obedience which distinguish his profession, made him think that the least delay in obeying his orders was a spe cies of resistance to 'his authority. He, there fore, betrayed for a moment the impetuosity of _the soldier, but soon returned to the moderation of the citizen, when he saw that no seditious opposition was offered to• his troops. He even expressed his regret to some of his friends that he had been so hasty, and stated his conviction that there never was any serious design formed to commit acts of sedition or violence. The arrests which have since been ordered by the Intendant of Police have, consequently,- met with his dis approbation, and it is reported by his friends that in an interview with the Princess Regent he has recently remonstrated with her against them. " It is the general circulation of thislast ru mour which has chiefly reconciled him to the Constitutional party. The following is the manner in which the story is given out :—When the Princess arrived at Cintra on Tuesday, the Count waited upon her to pay her his homage, to give her an account of the late transactions, and to intercede with her for the unfortunate persons with whom the police bad crowded the dungeons. Her Royal Highness expressed a desire to put an end to the arrests as 80011 as possible, and to order the investigation to be conducted with all convenient speed, that the in nocent might be liberated and the guilty pu nished. She; , however, added, that her advisers were not yet informed of the full extent of the conspiracy, and that some time must necessarily elapse before they could trace all its -ramifica tions. The Count expressed some . surprise at hearing of a conspiracy,'—a conspiracy formed by an indiscriminate assemblage of shopkeepers and citizens in the public streets and squares,— a conspiracy which appealed openly to the autho- rities for their intercession in favour of its mis taken object,—a conspiracy which had exploded in no further mischief than shouting innocent vivas in the theatres, and given the Juiz do Povo a trip to Caldas. He had been among the mob, and heard all their cries, but had heard no- thing which indicated any plot against the per. son or the Government of her Royal Highness If the citizens had conspired, the troops were likewise in the plot, for they had at first joined in the shouts, and had generally approved,ot the con duct of the people. The Princess, upon this, asked him whether a part of the mob had not shouted 'Long live the Republic,' and went on to state that she had been assured this cry was no means unfrc q• uent Evidence, she continued, had since been obtained, that the conspirators did not con fine their seditious proceedings to street acclama tions. They had a printing press at their com mand ; they had printed many thousand copies of a treasonablo proclamation for the establish ment of a republic, of which Saldanha was to be President ; and in a street, of which she had forgotten the name, a shop was found in which tri-coloured cockades had been prepared, and tri coloured flags were embroidering for the Jaco bins. This was all new to Count Villa Flor ; but he immediately saw the source whence it proceeded. The Intendant of Police, in order to give a colour of justice• to his revengeful and arbitrary proceedings, had, by the assistance of his spies, hatched a fictitious story about repub lican cries and revolutionary rihands, which he had palmed upon the Princess as a good set plot to overturn her authority. Her Royal Highness, surrounded only by persons in the in terest of the intendant, and besides unable to conceive how Saldanha could have innocently acquired so dangerous a popularity, was easily led to believe that in the clubs, of which she had be en heard ne dr so of whichllll l thetTe a S I a o t n e a t b u l e n, u te s s n weres h t h a d e c e i ve her,premature hyexplosion. assuring The her thatC ou the e p tried er s t o o n s u vdheo formed the imprudent assemblages of which so much had been spoken were actuated by no se ditious intentions whatever—that they formed no conspiracy, and knew of no plot, and that if the arrests took place on that ground, the prisoners should be immediately liberated. Such is the representation which this respectable nobleman is said to have made to the chief of the Govern ment in behalf of the victims of the Intendant's revenge, and of their own folly : and such is the view communicated to her of the late transac tions by servants less honest and courageous. " The Judges, in their examinations of the prisoners previously• to their final trial, seem to proceed entirely on the information which has bee•n communicated to the Princess. The first question asked by some of them is, Pray, who is the chief of the republic ?' The apprentices, waiters, shopkeepers, and shopkeepers' clerks, whom the Intendant has got crammed into the h L e i a ni rd oe o ir f o t , h a e s sa f i r alildeagbel(ei o trepi i t ) e l i r e s , , a n r e e v as e r havingunable to comprehend what is meant by the question, as if they were to be asked—' Pray, who was to be President of the Utopia, or who is meant by the beast with the seven heads and ten horns, in the Book of Revel a ti on s?'• If the Princess has finall) d e serted the p o p u lar, course—which I sincerer hope is not the case—knaves will try to gain he t f a vour, by pretending to interpose theraselve b e tween her and her dangerous subjects, or, b\ Working on her timidity,to gain their sejfish ends, with plots and cabals, he would open the window and cry out for the' Constitution. Daring the time of the Cortes, he enjoyed the popularity (Ind security of which. he was so fond. Wherever he went he . was cheered—till he really began to consider himself a prince of some distinction. — After his triumph at Villa Franca, the citizens were more sparing in their homage, and the Fi dalgos more troublesome in their .demands. The shopkeepers were required, in an _order of the. police, to turn out from behind their counters and salute him as he passed.. It was easy ,to persuade him that a people so sullen, and cour-, tiers sb selfish, would favour any design upon his security or his authority. • The Princess still continues at Cintra, where she is expected to remain a week longer. The escort of English cavalry, who accompanieil her from Caldas to Cintra, have not entirelY left her , though she has now obtained, as an Witional liody-guard, a detachment of Portuguese lira` goons. A good deal of dissatisfaction has ii,!'ert expressed by some of the violent Liberals, at the. preference which her Royal Highness gave to the English in the selection of her guard. Some of the more unreasonably auspicious and igno rant among them, have even begun to infer that an English intrigue must have been at the bot tom of the late Ministerist,7 - eliange : otherwise why, they ask, is a 'party- of English soldiers called in _to protect her Royal Highness against its apprehended consequences? It would be vain to argue with reason'ers of this stump, . whose logic i assumes as premises the dictates of their caprice. " A Council of Ministers, at which the Print cess Regent presides, is held to-day at Cintra, in consequence of the receipt of despatches front Rio de Janeiro, by a brig called the Apollo, which sailed from that port about the middle of June, and reached the Tagus in fifty-five days. The intelligence received by this conveyance, combined with the news brought by the last packet from England, has produced an universal conviction that Don Pedro will be in Lisbon in two months, and has therefore fully indemnified the Constitutionalists for their tate defeat. No- body doubted for a moment that the Emperor, as soon as he received accounts of his brother's refusal to proceed to Brazil, would prepare for a visit to Europe, if the state of his western em pire permitted him to undertake the voyage with safety ; and, in repeating so often as I have do'.e, my belief that his presence in Portugal, to settle the question of the Regency in person, was the only means of saving the Charter, I but expressed the general 'opinion. The conclusion of the peace with Buenos Ayres relieves him from all anxieties in that quarter, and allows him full leisure to attend to the state of his ancient family dominions, connected with the 44 security of his daughter's title. The publica tion at Rio, of the decrees brought to Europe last spring by Dr. Abrantee, th e executi on o f which was resisted by the Government of the Princess, shows that his Majesty has not abated • one iota in the pretensions which they implied, not only to settle the great question of the Re gency, but to regulate, during, pleasui3, the in ternal administration of both countries. These decrees are dated the 29th of January, and they are published about the middle of 'June, (be tween four and five months afterwards), when the Emperor must have heard from Europe that his sister had been advised to consider the two Go vernments distinct, and that she really possessed some independent, though delegated power, as long as she was allowed to remain. at the head of affairs. The terms in which his Majesty ad dresses his sister are as absolute as those which she herself has been accustomed to address to her Ministers. She is allowed no personal discre tion—no deliberation with her Cabirlet—no power to modify the imperial orders according to unforeseen circumstances. She is commanded to bold them (nssimintendido, cfaca executor) as understood in the plain sense of the language, and to cause them to be executed accordingly.— ' The same authority which regulates the rank of her embassies at Foreign Courts, that appoints her councillors of state, and nominates her private secretary, may nominate a Juiz de fora in the remotest village, or send an order for drawing out an ensign's commission. The Princess has been acting as Regent for the last twelve months,—signing decrees—and even making treaties. If she is thus a mere execu tive agent of the Emperor of Brazil as King of Portugal, none of the acts which she has done in his name are valid without his approbation ; and the treaty of Brighton which brought the British to Portugal must be null and void with -1 out his ratification. " It is needless, however, to dwell upon the inconvenience of governing an European king. doin at the distance of 2,000 leagues ; and I only alluded 'to the tardy publication of these decrees which had been deemed obsolete, as a positive evidence that the Emperor means to come and order is the light in which they are viewed here, and t T he m r very c f u i t d i e o 1 li Don i o i fn Miguel, p h i e .eg r s uE o em n b . piei T :too h r a , t sa arrival e iv h a o l p th es ro a w n s d t f h e e a fears r o o m f i p n a e r n t parties sL Liberals, s ac N c h ord l in t gl l y ci trembled mnged s i a d t e st.li e,voaey paroxysm of joy.

The army-I—even that part of it w hich was ready a month ago to join the standard of Don Miguel—will welcome their • gallant Sove reign with a unanimous burst of enthusiasm.
