WARREN, Surgeon Dentist, begs to call the attention of the Nobility and Gentry to his infallible principle of supplying deficiencies of the Mouth, whether of the Teeth, Gums, or Palates, arranged on Gold, 31ineral, or Sea-horse substances, from a single Tooth to a complete set, without pain or inconvenience to the wearer ; and invites the most difficult cases in proof of his superior system of fitting. Mr. W.'s terms will be found consonant with the circumstances of the applicant, and no charge will be made unless by the full and entire satisfaction of the patient. iMr. W. else informi Medical Gentlemen qualifying for country practice, or that of Tropical Climates, that he continues to give Monthly Courses of Instruction on Dental Surgery, combining Cleansing, Stopping, Exercising, Ex tracting, &c. &c., and including the manufacture and me thod of supplying oral deficiencies, on the most modern and scientific principles, as practised by the first Dentists in London and Paris.--27, Leicester-square. An itinerant Friar, while preaching in a chapel in which stood a wooden image of the Virgin Mary, observed that all his audience, with the exception of one man, were in tears. " Hardened wretch," he cried unto the tearless auditor, " how can you refrain from tears, when even the Virgin herself (pointing to the statue) is weeping." "I do not think, father," replied the man, " the wooden Virgin can weep or cry at all; for, being a carpenter, I was yesterday employed to mend a part of her, which had been broken, and, on that occasion, I drove three large iron nails into her body ; and, if she could have wept on any occasion, I think she would have done so then." , MR. PEEL'S CRIMINAL CODE.--While' the laws affecting crime have been made more intelligible, and less prolix, they are still only laws 'for the punishment of offences, rather than for their prevention. No great statesman-like view of the importance of a conservative system of police, which might save both the culprit and his victim from destruction, appears ever to have entered into the head of the late Secretary of State ; and so long only as he could wield the sword with better effect, after crime of every description should have been consummated, he seems to have thought that he had done all that the country or its moral interest could require from those in power. We look in vain to the new code for any employ ment of that enlarged principle of legislation which nips crime in the bud, and thus prevents its growth ; and we find only a technical improvement in the mode of cutting down crime after it has ripened into perfection, and dif fused only misery and ruin in its progress up to that point.

John dlinbury, aged 20, was indicted for having assaulted Henrietta Pewtner, on the evening of the 28th of August last. Henrietta Pewtner (an interesting and intelligent girl, who gave her evidence with great modesty and clearness) stated that she will be 15 years of age in November [next. She was apprenticed to Mrs. Horsledge, of Colford, but resided with her brother at Joy Croft. She was in the constant habit of go ing from her brother's house to her mistress's every morning, and returning at night. Amelia Simmonds always went with her, and sometimes her brother came to meet her on her return. She remembered leaving Colford with Amelia Simmonds on the evening of the 28th of August last. They met the prisoner and John Hennell, who said " Good even ing" to them as they passed : the witness made no answer to them. After they had gone a little far ther, the prisoner ran after them, and took hold of the witness, and said " Give us a kiss." She re fused, and struggled a good deal before she got from him. He then left them, and went back.— After they had got about half a mile further, beyond Berry-hill, in the Forest of Dean, the prisoner again came up to her, and took hold of her round the shoulders, and. said, " Give us a liiss." She tried to get away from him, and he threw her violently on the ground.—(The witness then related sufficient to show the object of the prisoner.) Amelia Simmonds said—l am 13 years of age, and remember meeting the prisoner on the evening of the 28th of August last. She then proceeded to detail the facts proved by the last witness, and added, " When the prisoner was on the ground, I plucked his hair, and beat him, and kicked him, and I took his shoes off, and beat him about the head with them. I then saw an old man going along the forest, and I ran to him and caught him by the sleeve, and told him to please to come, as a man had got Hen rietta down. He came part of the way as fast as he could, but the moment the prisoner saw him he ran away. When Henrietta got up, she was so weak she could hardly stand or speak." Mrs. Pewtner, mother to Henrietta, proved her daughter making immediate complaint to her, and described the torn and tumbled state of her dress. The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty." Mr. Baron VAUGllAN—Prisoner, you have been convicted, on the most satisfactory testimony, of a most brutal assault; as to your pretence that you have not intellect enough to discern right from wrong, it would be an insult to the Court and Jury to dwell upon it for a moment, because I have with care and caution watched your conduct during the trial, in which there has been too much artifice, to leave any doubt respecting your knowledge of right from wrong. It is quite horrifying, in a civilized country like this, that two young women—nay two girls—cannot be permitted to walk along a public path without being subject to such brutality. I do not think I ever witnessed, in any Court, more • proper demeanour—more true modesty—than I did this day in the conduct of those little girls. It was most fortunate for you that the little girl was pre sent, for her spirit and good conduct have been the means of saving your life, by preventing you from perpetrating your horrid intentions. The sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned in the gaol of this county for one year. Prisoner.—Thank you, my Lord. Mr. JUSTICE having applied to his Lordship for some allowance to Amelia Simmonds, ass a token of the approbation of the Court for her conduct, his Lordship declined making any order on the county for that purpose, but sent for Henrietta PeWtner and Amelia Simmonds to the bench, and having appa rently addressed some kind admonitions to them, generously dismissed them with some reward from his own pocket. The Court has been occupied the whole day with the trial of causes entirely destitute of interest. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-LANCASTER, SEPT. 4. ATKINSON V• SHAW. This was an action on a bill of exchange, drawn upon and accepted by the defendant. The defend ant pleaded, that, at the time the bill became due, he was a certificated bankrupt. The plaintiff replied, that the certificate had been fraudulently obtained. On this issue was joined. The bill was admitted. Mr. F. Potiocx, on the part of the defendant, then put in a certificate of bankruptcy, regularly signed by the majority of his creditors, and complete in every point. It appeared that the bankrupt had formerly been an ironmonger, and in partnership with a man named Bateman, residing in Piccadilly, Manchester. Two different commissions had been sued out against him, severally and jointly against him and Bateman. The former of these two coms missions was dated in the month of March, 182 G. Mr. Woodburn, an attorney, who produced the commission, denied that the former was an accom modation commission. Mr. BROUGHAM, in reply, would show that the defendant had received different sums, for which h e was unable to account ; which, by sections 123 and Its of the Consolidated Bankrupt Act, voided the certificate. Secondly, that several creditors had been induced to sign by fraudulent promises of pre ference, and promises of money. On this ground, also, he had a fatal objection to the certificate. The Learned Counsel referred to Phillips v. Dicas, 5 I East; and a more modern case in Bosanquet an d Puller. A traveller, formerly in the service of the de fendant, proved, a short time previous to the bank ruptcy, on coming off a journey, that he had handed him 140/. A clerk of the accomptant employed by the as signees proved the defendant to have ("barged a great portion of his debits to his private expences. Mr. Barker, the attorney of the plaintiff, proved that the Commissioners were quite satisfied on the first commission, but that no mention had been made by the defendant, in his examination on the second commission, of the 140/., or at least that he had left a large portion of it unaccounted for. When examined on the second joint commission, he left a sum of 3,000/. unaccounted for. The Commis sioners adj ourne d on thi s . Mr. Lon g , a trunk-maker at Manchester, a credi tor of the defendant's estate for 261., said, that shortly b e f ore h e a bsented himself he ha d ca l led on witness, and asked witness to sign, he and bouht a portmantea u, price 21 . 14 5.; when h e subsequently re fused, as he was indignant at the aff a ir o f the port manteau; he then told witness his estate would pay 20s, in the pound, and he would give him the money for the portmanteau. On this account wit ness signed. Mr. Baron HurLocK would leave it for the opi nion of the Jury, whether the bankrupt, having already the necessary nu mber of sig natures to en title him t o his certificate, would promise to pay 2/. 1 4 s- to procure the signature of a creditor for 261. The Jury immediately found for the defendant. .

The imports of Wheat the last week were again very small; but there was a fair supply of foreign, and a few parcels of Irish New Oats ; the quality of the latter con tinues fine, but there is yet little improvement in the sate pies of Irish New Wheat.—At to-day's market, which was well attended by both town and country dealers, the finer qualities of old Wheats met a fair demand, at about last Tuesday's currency ; but the inferior qualities and all descriptions of New were difficult of sale, at a reduction of Id. to 2d. per 701 b. Old Oats were again much sought after, and brought fully the prices of last week ; we re duce our quotations for New 3d. to 4d. per 451 b. at which the market was well cleared.

CANTERBURY.-The process of hop-picking will very generally commence on Monday next. There are soma grounds in which the hops are small and hard (buttoned up, as it is termed), occasioned by the late cold nights, and, of course, of little value ; but in the majority of the grounds, for miles around, the crop is excellent in quality and very abundant. —Kentish Chronicle. MAIDSTONE.—The picking will be pretty general by the middle of the next week. The hops in general pro.. mise well as to quality, and there will be no scarcity in qu antity. —Maidstone Gazette. BLEEDING AT THE NOSE.—It may be useful to know, that when the common remedies for excessive bleeding at the nose fail, it may generally be stopped by a quantity of powdered gum arabic being blown up the nostrils through a quill.— Taunton Courier. BRIGHTON,. SEPT.. 4.—The Pic-Nic Fair, under the patronage of the King, for the benefit of our local National Schools, has presented a very animated picture at the Royal York Hotel, during the whole of this day. All the rank and fashion of the place Lave been there as buyers and sellers. CIIEINENIiAAI, SEPT. 4.—Our arrivals with in the past week have been vcry numerous, and the town is now as full as it is ever remembered to have been ; scarcely an hotel or boarding-house but has been obliged to engage extra apartments for the accommodation of its visitors. The Montpellier rooms and walks are every morning crowded- from eight to ten o'clock, as well as on the evenings of the Musical Promenades. An opinion has been put forth that free emi grants become gradually inoculated with roguish propensi ties after their arrival at Botany Bay. This I have not been able to perceive, though certainly no vast scrupulosity is manifested by some of them, which may as justly be as cribed to former habit as recent corruption. Not so, however, thought Samshoo, an East Indian servant boy, belonging to a merchant here, who had been detected by his employer in purloining a large bag of'dollars. " Sam shoo," said his astonished master, "what has made you turn such a rogue? You that have been so long in my service, and always shown yourself before such an honest lad ?" Massa," blubbered ilunshoo, shrugging his shoulders, " when Samshoo come here, Samshoo very good boy; now Samshoo dam rogue; every body, massa, turn rogue here ! by and by, massa turn rogue too !" Cunningham's Two Years. BY THE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, EXPLANATORY OF THE NATURE AND OBJECT OF THE INSTITUTION. 1. OF THE NECESSITY WHICH EXISTED FOR THE FOUNDA- TION OF ANOTHER UNIVERSITY IN ENGLAND. It has long been a subject of regret, that a very large proportion of the youth of England, whose future professional occupations are such as ti render an University education most desir able, have, owing to various causes, been deprived of that most important benefit. Oxford is, by its statutes, accessible to those only who belong to the Established Church ; and although Cam bridge has so far relaxed the strictness of its rules that Dissenters, while deprived of the privilege of obtaining Degrees, may still receive their edu cation there, that University is, practically, scarcely less exclusive than Oxford on the score of religion. Another, and a very serious cause of exclusion, is the very great expence incurred at those Universities; an evil, it is true, not arising from University fees or the payments for instruction—for these are extremely moderate — but partly from College charges, and still more from expensive habits of living among the under graduates, which have been increasing year after year, which the authorities in both places have hitherto been unable to check, and which are in some respects the unavoidable consequence of the youth living separate from their parents. Al though the regulations of the Universities do not lead to or warrant such an expellee, the fashion of the place has fixed the scale of living ; and while many parents are thus put to very great in convenience, others find it impossible to give their sons the advantage of an University educa tion. But were the obstacles on the score of religion and of expence entirely removed, it would be impossible for the existing establish ments to receive all the applications for admis sion ; for even now, both Universities are over crowded ; and in the case of the Colleges of highest reputation at Oxford, application — must be made some years before a young an is ready to enter, in order to secure his admission. When it is wonsidered, therefore, how great must be the number and the opulence of those who do not belong to the Established Church; and how large a portion of the people of Eng land consists of persons in easy yet moderate cir cumstances, there cannot be a doubt that the best interests of the country urgently demand the establishment of an institution, where an en- lightened education may be obtained at a reason• able charge, and where persons of every reli. gious persuasion may be freely admitted. It is also to be remembered, that a profes sional course of study in law or medicine does not avowedly rank among the leading objects of education at Oxford and Cambridge ; and in dependently of that circumstance, there are local advantages in the metropolis, for connecting the theoretical with the practical parts of these branches of knowledge, which cannot be equally enjoyed in any provincial situation. The con sequence of this is, that only very limited pro portion of the members of those learned profes ' sions in England, especially of the medical, re ceive even their general education at an Uni versity. It has been stated that about 100 hundred only of all. the Physicians now practising in Eng land have been educated at Oxford and Cam bridge, while there are more than 300 licentiates of the Colleges of Physicians, besides as many hundreds of country practitioners, who have never been candidates for the privilege of the li centiate. There are now 6,000 members of the College of Surgeons, not six of whom, it has been stated, have graduated at our Universities. In the higher branch of the law, a very con siderable proportion have graduated at Oxfbrd and Cambridge ; but among those who belong to that most important branch of the profession, the attornies, of whom there are not less than 8,000 in England, it is believed that scarcely one in a thousand has had the benefit of an uni versity education. There is another description of persons to whom it is surely desirable to give all the advantages of a liberal education—the gentlemen who hold places in the offices of Go vernment, but who are also unable to avail them selves of the opportunities which Oxford and Cambridge afford for that purpose, because they usually enter such offices at or below the age of the youngest under-graduates of those Uni versities. If the great changes which have taken place in England since the foundation of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, with respect to po pulation, wealth, and, above all, the general dif fusion of education, have rendered the establish ment of another University a matter of urgent necessity, London appears to be the situation where it can be most advantageously placed. It is, indeed, a matter of surprise, that a city which h ssht a io s t existed so long without such an in stitution. been so populous and renowned, there are in London not less than five thousand f t lo ion. According to the most accurate data , should have young men; from the age of sixteen to twenty ono, the children of persons who can easily de fray the expence of an education conducted as it is proposed to be in this University. The capital is the resort of the most celebrated per sons of every description ; and among others, of . those most eminent in the cultivation of the arts, the sciences, and letters, Thus the greatest genius and skill become available to the purposes of education in all the branches of knowledge. The capital is the most convenient situation for all those young men who would he sent from the provinces for education, on account of the greater probability of their finding connexions interested in their welfare, and greater facilitities for adopt ing a style of living suited to their circum stances. An University so established is also very likely to form a great attraction to young men in the Colonies, and in those foreign coun tries where science and learning are still under trammels from political causes. At the desire of some persons high in authority in one of the liberated Governments of South America, in quiry has been made whether an arrangement could be entered into for the reception of about a hundred young men at the Universityof Lon don fro:n that country ; and that such an arrange ment is practicable there can be no doubt. W ere those who are to be the future legislators, gover nors, le a di ng m en in the various classes o f society of those countries, educated under the liberal and enlightened system of England, and These may be arranged under three heads.— First, those subjects which constitute the essen tial parts of a liberal education ; secondly, those which may be considered more in the light of ornamental accomplishment ; and thirdly, those which belong to professional education. Of the subjects which may he comprehended under the first division, it is intended that there shall be a Professor in each of the following branches : The Roman Language, Literature, and An tiquities; the Greek Language, Literature, and Antiquities; the French Language and Litera•• ture ; the English Language and Literature ; Elementary Mathematics ; Higher Mathematics ; Natural Philosophy and Astronomy ; Logic and the Philosophy of the Human Mind ; History, Ancient and Modern ; Political Economy ; and Chemistry. In the second division of subjects there will be Professor of Italian Literature ; Spanish Lite rature ; German and Northern Literature ; Ori ental Literature, more particularly Hindostauee, Persian, and Hebrew ; Geology and Mineralogy ; Botany ; Zoology. In the third division of subjects there will be Professors of Jurisprudence, including the Law of Nations ; English Law ;. Roman Law. And for the profession of Medicine, the follow ing subjects will be taught—Anatomy and Phy siology ; Morbid and Comparative Anatomy ; Surgery ; Nature and treatment of diseases ; Midwifery, and the DiSeases of Women and Children ; Materia Medics and Pharmacy ; Chemistry ; Botany and Vegetable Physiology Medical Jurisprudence. While in an Hospital connected with the Uni versity, opportunities will be given for Clinical Lectures and Practice. There are also to be Professors on Engineering and the Application of Mechani cal Philosophy to the Arts ; and on the Applica tion of Chemistry to the Arts. One great and important branch----Theology, ' yet remains ; and it is necessary to explain why that is not provided for. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge supply ample opportunities for the education of the Clergy of the Established Church. It is a fundamental principle of the University of London, that it shall be open to persons of all religious denominations; and it was manifestly impossible to provide a course of professional education for the Ministers of Religion of those congregations who do not belong to the Esta blished Church. It was equally impossible to institute any theological lectures for the instruc tion of lay students of different religious persua sions, which would not have been liable to grave objections ; still less was it practicable to intro dude any religious observances that could be generally complied with. In the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the students, removed from the superintendence of their parents and guardians, are placed in colleges, or new do mestic establishments, where it is necessary that religious instruction should be provided. In the case of the University of London, none of the students will reside within the walls ; they will live in the houses of their parents or guar dians ; and those who come from a distance will live in houses selected by their friends, with such precautions for the safety of their morals and of their religious opinions as will naturally be adopted on the occasion. A plan is in contem plation (which will he more fully explained in a subsequent part of this statement), by which those students who come from a distance may be boarded in houses where they will be under the guidance of persons of their own religious opi nions, and where they will be subi to rules of discipline for the protection, of their morals. The religious education of the pupils, therefore, will be left to domestic supenntendance, being the same provision which at present exists for that important obzet in all cases except those of under-graduates at Oxford and Cambridge during their residence in College. There are many hundreds of young men constantly in Lon don, who come from the country for the sake of professional education in Law and Medicine, who have no guide for their religious education, unless they find it in relatives or friends inte rested in their welfare. To all such persons the dis cipline intended to be enforced in the University of London, within its walls, will constitute an ad ditional check upon their conduct. The Council had many long and anxious deliberations upon this subject, which they felt to be of paramount importance ; but they found it impossible to unite the principle of free ad mission to persons of all religious denominations with any plan of theological instruction, or any form of religious discipline ; and they were thus compelled by necessity to leave this great and primary object of education, which they deem far too important for compromise, to the direction and supenntendance of the natural guardians of the pupils. 111. or THE DIFFERENT COURSES 0?
