" We earnestly recommend the cases related by Dr. Courtenay, to• the perusal of such of our readers as are afflicted with the complaints which the author has made the subject of these observaiioos. - Several instances are adduced of the recovery of perfect health from states which were considered hopeless by practitioners of eminent talents and very extensive experience. We entertain the highest opinion of Dr. Courtenay's professional skill, and congra tulate him on his successful and judicious application to these severe and often fatal diseases."—European Magazine.

In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency; these are its remote and ultimate effects, whilst Consumptions, Less of Muscular Power, and va rious other complaints, usually characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which, during his experience of upwards of thirty-eve years' ex. tensive practice, has invariably proved successful.

The tuminous views taken of these diseases, together with the important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and we may add , as a f art h er recommen dation, that it is writtenwith mnFli delicacy and mora• ity."—lnspector and Literary Review.

He will then go and take his stand as near as possi. Isle to the branch of one of the engines, and if a means of access to the burning Luilding presents itself, in he wil rush, and mount upwards, fearless of theilitnesii In several instances he has been :punished smartly for his temerity, but seems not at all to mind it. At a 'fire in Bow-lane, after an upper floor was wholly consumed, with the exception of the joists, he amused himself by hopping from joist to joist, while the fire. was raging all stonnil him. At last he missed his footing, end !ell into the cellar, whence he was rescued with considerab'e difficulty. At another time, when one of the firemen bad a torch, he made a snap at the blaz, , , and burnt his mouth and face severely. A few months back the men procured him a brass collar, on which the following distich was engraved : Stop me not, but let me jog, For I am the fire establishment dog.'! iShortly after, at a fire in Spitalfidds, the dog.was and is supposed to have been stolen, for on his return, about three weeks afterwards, he was in a ken condition, and the collar was missing.

The will and codicils of the late Julian Hibbert, Esq., of Hampstead, who rendered himself so conspicuous by tiie open avowal of his atheistical opinions at the Old Bailey &asions, a short time ago, open the trial of Henry Berthold, for stealing a boa, has just been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and the persenal effects have been sworn under 8,000/. Mr. Hibbert died sod denly, in the month of February. The executors who have proved the will are William Devonshire Saul, of Aldersgate-street, wine•mer6ant ; John Brooks, of Ox tord.street, bookseller; and Robert Ewen, of the Black friars-road, coal-merchant. The tenor of the will (which is in the handwriting of the testator) affords a curious syecimen of the character and opinions of the deceased. Mr. Hibbert resided in a secluded cottige in the neigh bourhood of Hampstead ; his charity was unbounded, and indiscriminately bestowed epee those whom he considered deserving, without reference to their• religious creed. He was a classical scholar, a man of remarkably gentlemanly habits and address, and the author of several talented works, to none of which has he Axed his name. lie appeals to have imbibed an enthusiastic fondness for the productions of Volney, Voltaire, Rousseau, Mirabeau, and the other philosophers of that school, several of whose works he has translated and published. Si tenacious was be of adhering to the truth, under any circumstances, that he has frequently stated that it was the fear of being supposed to prevaricate with regard to his religious opi nikin, that induced him to make the hold declaration which brought down upon hint the censure of the Judge, and the pointed animadversion of the counsel and jury, upon Berthuld's trial. By his will Mr. Hibbert directs his body to be given to an anatomical School, to which he had for many years been a subscriber, for the porpusts of dis section. He pa:ticwarly requests that no person may wear mournaig for him, or that any ostentatious notice should be made of his memory. He bequeaths 492/. to Messrs. Cunningham and Salmon, the printers, in Fleet street, that being the suet in which Carlisle was indebted to them, and being in place of a legacy he intended to leave the latter. There are also several other handsome legacies to Hetherington, Watson, and several other publishers. He had bequeathed the sum of 500/. to the Rev. Robert Taylor, but this he has revoked by a codicil, in conse quence, as he states, "of his having married a lady of large fortune, and that be therefore considers it would now be an insult to him." He provides very handsomely for his housekeeper and other domestics, to whom, during his life, he had behaved upon the most liberal scale. He never himself partook of animal food, but lived in the most rigid and abstemious manner pssible. During the confine ment of Taylor in Horsemonger-lane gaol Mr. Hibbert supplied him with every comfort that he could require. Mr. Hibbert had some lauded property, and the residue of his estates become the property of his sister, he having died a bachelor. ;iv,- an account of his a:tventures, c,rttin'y fltd r o' ase in his own harol.:. - According ta his account, he bad aerformed wonders.

Our readers may rem enibtr to have sean sometime back an account of a dog which bad taken a strange fancy for tires and firemen, and which scarcaly ever failed of being at a great fire, and remaining there till the engines were removed, and whose affection appeared to be not for any particular individual of the body, but for tl e whole of the firemen indifferently. Poor Tyke, for such was his name, is now no more. His customary home was in one of the recesses of Blickfriars Bridge, whence, in the course of last summer, some miscreant in sheer wantonness of mis chief, dragged him and threw him over the parapet into the Thames. He was rescued by a Waterman, but the injuries he had received, his advanced age, and his becom ing diseased, rendered it necessary shortly after to drown him, which painful duty was performed by the man who had before saved him from a watery grave. A portrait of Tyke was taken some months previously by in amateur artist, who holds a situation in the South Sea House, and which portrait bad the honour of a place in the Exhi bition at Somerset House last year. A successor to Tyke has started up in a dog which has attached itself to the firemen of the London United Establishment, and which, from the circumstances under which he came to them, has been not inaptly named Chance. He first pre sented himself at the Watliog-street station.bouse, and was then in a half•starred condition, and, although repeatedly driven away, be constantly returned. The men at last took compassion on him, and admitted him as one of their body- Like his predeees , or his affection appears to be general, and he will, without any apparent cause, change his abode from one to another of the different stations of the establishment. He is extremely eager to follow the men to a fire, and no sooner bears tie noise of the draw ing out of an engine than he displays uncommon anxiety to follow it, though, from the dasgerous manner in which he rushes into the thick blaze of a fire, the men always secure him in' the cellar, if possible, before starting. He takes no notice of the men or engines belonging to any of the other offices. When once he gets to a fire, he will, IRISH S I O:tY-TELLERS. The travelling genealogists and wandering minstrels of Ireland have been succeeded by a race of harmless fie. tionists, peculiar to that country. One of the most me morable of these was Jack Hasnett, of Kerry, celebrated for his adventures with the self-same boar which gave old Crohoore so much trouble, as in,,y still be seen at page 425, Vol. 11. of .‘ Tait's Magazine." Jack was a decent shopkeeper in the town, much devoted to three friends, drinking, disputing, and fighting; but with this diffe rence, that while he really cultivated the society of the two former, his acquaintance with the latter was more a matter of boasting than anything else. If you were to believe himself, " he'd beat P'nune M'Chooil, and Uschur along with him ; and, as to disputation, why, from Aris totle to the Reading Made Easy' (for Jack, like almost all the shopkeepers of Kerry, had received a classical edu ca ion), the world could not produce a match fir him." The world, and his wife, to be sure, thought differently ; but in drinking, undoubtedly be was a hero. What he would have done with some of the Roman Emperors is perhaps bard to say, as they drank wine; but for whisky punch, he might be backed against any man dead or alive. Twelve tumblers were nothing to him. Six muddled him; but from that out there was no perceptible change. He could not be made more drunk, and you might as well go on pouring punch into the Bog of Allan as into Jack. There he sat, unable to stir any part of his body--.:always excepting his hand, which was never known to fail while a glass was before him—witta a look of great wisdam, argu i ng some question, and it made very little difference whether there waB any one present or not. He could maintain both sides, in a friendly way, with the tumbler, and never cared for a more numerous audience. But one night Jack had been drinking at Ned Price's; there was a dispute as usual, and thinking he had received some af front, he rose to go away. Atter. a number of experi ment:, as the " Library of Useful Knowledge" would say, to ascertain the position of fide centre of gravity, and brieg it into a condition of unstable equilibrium over the point of support, he effected this at last, hut instead of going to the street door, be turned towards the back door. The town, whenever there is a heavy fall of rain, is flooded; and this night it bvpened that the water was about five or six inches deep in the yard, except at one part higher than the rest, where this young villain of a boar had his stye. The threshold of the back door was raised some steps above the yard ; and when Jack came to the steps, of course be stumbled and fell forward into the water, where he lay quite at his ease. The boar, as soon as he beard the splash, thinking he had got something gre,t, made three standing leaps up to Jack; and seiz'ng the skirt of his surtout, began to tear away at •it ; but finding no substance in this, be soon quitted it, and laid hold of rack's arm, which he began to chew. " Eh ! what's that !" says Jack, raising him self on one elbow, anti hitting with the other at the boar ; " fair play—don't strike a man when down." The boar paying no attention to this protest, planted his fore legs on Jack's body, and seized him by the shoulder, " Fair play," says J.ck again—" don't strike a man when down. box you over a garter." The hoar grunted. " What's that you say, eh ? what's that you say ? Can't you speak plain, man, like me," muttered Jack ; " let me get up, and I'll box you over a garter." But the boar became desirous of dragging Jack up towards his stye out of the water, and looking tor a convenient part to lay hold of for that purpose, he began to walk in all directions over his body, and seized first his legs and then his arm again. During all this, of course, Jack was not idle. He made several remonstrances, several appeals to the boar's chival rous feeling, and offered to fight them all one after another, but in vain. At length, luckily for Jack, as the boar would probably have killed him, drunk and helpless as he was, a maid servant beard his expostulations. " For God's sake, come here !" says she, " there's something in the yard ;" and alie alarmed the whole house. Lights were brought, and they found Jack, leaning on his elbow, issuing his protocols and protests with a look or the most drunken gravity ; his face being turned towards the boar, from which he was not a foot distant, though he could n,:ver see his adversary. They took him up, changed his clothes, and placed him, 'sitting before a large fire, with a' tumbler of punch, smoking hot on the table near him. In tl is position his spirits soon revived, and he WAS able to VVHITEt.:HAPEL HAY id A Rite. I.—March 29. Hay 555. Od. to 803. Od. I( lover 6 0$. Od. to 90s. Od. _ _ Straw. 28,. Od. to 325. ed.

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS AT THE COURT, BASINGHALL-STREET, (From the London Gazelle.) TO-MORROW, APRIL 2. m . H. 1 at 12 W.

And they were undoubtedly in the right, for the natty,: of the soil then chiefly under cultivation made Mardi, due still more essential to them than to US, their descendants. They almost exclusively tilled the lOW, Misr, or strong, ip retentive nimplements soil, ts c 0 uul d p the work until rains neither of winter had been evaporated from the substia , . tum, and the surface and the atmosphere had become free from moisture. Since modern im provements in husbandry have extended tillage over lighter and more porous tracts, the, same degree of dryness is not perhaps absolutely tenacity of the soil requires to be corrected by re quisite in these situations ; yet still the wintry the 'chastening influence of sun and wind. Never was this ameliorating process more necessary than in the past month, after so long a conti nuance of previouS 'het weather, and Providence has kindly vouchsafed to bestow it upon us under its best-form in that golden mean :F-hich consti tutes the chief perfection of all temporal bless ings. There have been no winds of excessive harshness, nor suns of scorching brightness; to p bind and bake the furrows into stony hardness, but, instead thereof, gales, which though gene rally drying; and sometimes very cold, have at others been accompanied by a gentler April atmosphere, and occasionally light drizzling rain, relaxing again the indurated surface, as well as by some nightly frosts, a few of. which have- . been of sufficient sharpness to shake cars ble ci, ble the " clod of the valley," or upland. In a word, it has been a beautiful season, causing the ground to work admirably. The only fear that for the latter oats it may have beef: tod friable and light, a state of the soil better adapted in semblance than in reality to the re ception of the seed of this grain. Barley is going into the ground under every favourable circumstance that could be wished for, except that, in a multitude of instances, the previous turnip-crop has either been entirely wanting, or too light in bulk- to afford much manure. The clovers and grass-seeds too will have every chance of striking favourably in the well-pul- , verised soil to which they are committed. The sudden influence of the nightly frosts, thotigh of no very severe character, have had a most obvious effect on the colour of the growing wheats ; gross, succulent, and luxuriant as they generally were, unchecked in growth, and un hardened in fibre by previous frost, the check which has come upon them has operated with much severity. In many places their blades become blue, brown, or yellow, and indeed, al- , most any colour except the cheerful, healthy green, in which they were not long ago arrayed This check would have been serviceable in the earlier vegetation of the wheat, and during the period of winter ; but it is to be feared than the season of the year, and the growth of the plant, are now too far advanced to admit of such a chas tisement being inflicted without permanent injury resulting. The most forward, and the most thickly planted, seem to have suffered most, and unless a very genial period for recovery should eaue, it is to be feared that in some cases the ultimate state of the crop may be affected. Turnips are fast disappearing from the fields, and should a harsh and cutting period come on, it is difficult to say how the ewes and lambs in many districts are to be supported. In the grass countries it has grown all the winter ; but it is not in such situations that the failure of the turnips has been so extensive, or their want so generally felt. The lambing season, on the whole, has been a good one, particularly as far as weather has been concerned, and the health and growth of the young lambs has been ma terially forwarded thereby. Still, the complaints of losses among the ewes are frequent, although they too, where well kept, are looking healthy and good in coat. The demand for ewes and lambs, and sheep of all descriptions, continues, both to hire and to purchase ; because while there are wide tracts where not a turnip is to be seen, yet there are also favoured spots, to a small extent, where there is almost a superabundance, without sufficiently usual and ready means of communication to make the plenty of • the small oasis known over the extensive desert. The state of the wool market, too, has rendered every one anxious to maintain or extend the number of his flock, for although there appears now to be a stagnation in the trade, yet there -is also a pre va lent opinion that prices will not materially decline. It seems almost impossible to imagine that the ensuing clip of wool can command any thing like the price it has done, relatively to corn, yet manu facturers having a demand, seem unwilling to relax their exertions, and the spirit of manufac turing and commercial adventure once awakened, is frequently carried by competition beyond the bounds which any sober man, a stranger to the ferment of the trading leaven, would ever ven ture to calculate upon. Under any continuance of foreign demand, therefore, there is little doubt that high prices will be obtained for the clip which we are looking forward to ; and indeed many forehand bargains, as they are called, have already been made on terms which must at any rate well remunerate the grower. In the mean time the corn market continues in nearly or quite the same depressed state. Barley, n deed, is more in demand, and for good samples somewhat advanced ; but the high season for sowing has taken a considerable portion out of the market for seed, and given a temporary check to the supply ; and wheat is dull, with even perhaps a tendency to sink in price. iayin CHARMING A SNAKE.—On the morning of the 3d of December we awoke early, when I was much surprized by my friend Lieutenant Baillie call ing out, " A snake, a snake I look at the snake !" We all stared at him, lying in his hammock, and, to our astonishment, beheld a monstrous serpent twisted round the rope which supported his hammock, with its head at some distance above my friend's, darting out its forked tongue, and examining him as he lay stretched below. " Lie still," cried the fiscal, "he won't hurt you _." and calling in two or th ree o f t h e natives, he pointed it out to them. One of these men, advancing towards it, caught its eye with his own : the animal now appeared to move its whole body with fear or pleasure. The native stepped backwards, without thetra ground, turning the sight of his eye fr om th e fi erce orb i t of his uncoiled coiled moved his slowly body enemy ; and, as he kept backing, th e sna k e , w i t h hi s head wholeadsteabodild, advancing,iliyyng gradually on from the rope round w hi c h i t was twined. At length its along after this coloured man —eye fixed upon eye— until a youth, making a dash from behind a bush, in an instant flattened the head of this dangerous mon ster with one blow of his club; and, although the body still undulated like the waves of the sea, it was now perfectly harmless, not being able to seize with its inouth. They immediately hauled him up to the branch , f a tree, and, as our cooks in Europe serve an eel, hey skinned him whilst the poor animal was writhing ,n the agonies of pain. This snake was called the Libre, and measured nineteen feet and a half in iength.—Colonel St. Clair's Residence in the West Indies.
