It may be recollected that a short time back a young man, named Dunn, was capitally convicted of stealing a considerable quantity of goods from the pr em i ses o f M essrs . S ewe ll and Cross, silk mercers, Compton-street, Soho, with whom he shopman, which goods he was in the habit of conveying to a young woman, named Smith, who received sentence of transportation for four teen years. Notwithstanding this severe example, Messrs. Sewell and Cross have discovered that the successor of Dunn has been carrying on similar practices to an immense extent. Every precau tion had been adopted to prevent those depreda tions, but without success. It was observed that the young man now in custody, was in the habit oftaking expensive excursions to Windsor, mixing with women of dashing appearance, clinking wine, and living in a style on Sundays which his income did not justify. He was occasionally called upon, as Dunn had been before him, to carry out silks to ladies : and it would seem t h at th ese were t h e opportunities lie took to secure his plunder.— Clements, an officer, was employed to watch him, and by his vigilance it was ascertained that although his regular lodgings were in Greek street, he had another apartment in Carnaby i,narket, w hi c h h e v i s i te d the day time. On Thursday last he went out with some silks to Grosvenor -square, whither and back again the officer watched him, but discovered nothing fur ther than that he went to the wanton expence of coach-hire, going and returning to the nearest _coach-st an d ; b ut even t hi s tr ifli ng c i rcumsta n ce led to a strengthening of the suspicions against him ; for on being asked by Mr. Sewell, in the presence of the officer, if he walked to Grosvenor square and back, he declared that he did ; and on a hint being given to him, that some dishonesty was g o i ng on towards his employers on the part of some one in the house, he assured Mr. Sewell, that if he could even guess at a suspicion against any one, he would instantly inform him of it ; and as for himself, he said he was ready to be searched, and to have his trunks searched at his lodgings, in Greek-street, which Mr. Sewell knew was where b e did l o d ge. He was then c h arge d with having other lodgings in Carnaby-market, and at once betrayed his guilt. A search after wards took place in the room in Carnaby-market, of which the key was found in the prisoner's pocket, and on opening two large newly-made boxes, the officer found whole pieces of the most valuable cambrics, silks of the richest description, bombasins, bandana handkerchiefs, gros de Naples, &c., the whole the property of Messrs. Sewell and Cross. There was also found a regular list, in the hand-writing of the prisoner, of all the articles he had stolen last, with the value annexed to each ,in all amounting to 1564 To deny his guilt now was useless ; and he acknowledged, that whenever he was sent out with silks, &c., he always contrived, when rolling the wrapper over them, to conceal an extra piece of silk, &c., under it ; and besides this, he often took the rolls of silk intrusted to him to this room, which he hired for the purpose, and, unrolling the whole, he would cut off a number of yards from the end next the roller, and then wind it up again. Th e prisoner, whose name is John Powel, denied that he had any accomplice in these robb er i e s, and declared that he was the sole per petrator of them himself. On Friday he was brought before the Magistrate of Marlborough street, and committed. WINDSOR, SEPT. 2.--This forenoon the KlNni - accompanied by Lord St. HELENS and the Hon.

LITERATURE. We have been much instructed and terrified by this elabOrate Dissertation on the Pulse ; in structed, because we find, explained in a lucid and forcible manner, the exact nature and im portance of its operations ; and terrified, because we discover (in direct contradiction to our pre conceived theory of health) that a pulse of about two hundred horse power, or some such trifle in the way of strength, is, in nine cases out of ten, the surest index of health. We think, however, that our author has laid rather too much stress on this last fact ; a strong pulse may certainly be an excellent symptom of convalescence, but why a weak one should denote ill health we cannot con ceive. A respected friend of ours, with a pulse like a sledge hammer, died the other day of an apoplexy, proceeding from its very strength, while another equally venerated acquaintance has already lived on to the age of '72, without any pulse at all—at least none to signify. Our author seems to lay great strength on the mode of feeling the pulse ; it should be felt, he ob serves, by placing the hand in a horizontal position, and then suffering the fingers to fall perpendicu larly on the vein. How this is to be accomplished, we cannot possibly imagine, particularly when he adds, that as all the fingers, more or less, possess pulses, it requires great tact to discrimi nate. The most approved method, we think, in this trying difficulty, would be to feel the pulse with a pair of tongs ; for these, to the best of our recollection, have never yet been convicted of a pulse. ' But to proceed to graver matters : the bulk of an animal, observes Dr. Rucco, is directly at variance with the energy of its pulse. This is a curious, and to us a novel fact, let us therefore quote the Doctor on the subject : Observation proves to us that the energy of the vital motions is in an inverse ratio to the largeness and bulk of the bodies of animals ; for, whilst the pulse of the elephant performs but very few beats in the course of a minute, that of the horse performs proportionately, in the same time, from 32 to 34 ; that of the ox from 36 to 38 ; that'of the sheep nearly 64 ; that of the dog almost 78 ; and that of pigeons more than a hundred. The truth of this observa tion will be the more evident, upon comparing the pulse of an infant, which beats one hundred and forty times in the short space of a minute, during its first moments of life, with the pulse of an individual perfectly developed, which performs only seventy-five beats in the same time, as is cer tainly the case with the pulse of an adult. It is the opinion of our good Doctor—and a somewhat hazardous opinion it is, to let loose unmuzzled upon society—that the mental pro perties of a man, depend, in a great measure, on his physical organization; that is to say, his mind has no higher origin than his body, being, in fact, its mere abject vassal. On this principle, imagina tion, or that part of it which is consequent on, and grows out of a certain nice sensibility, is a mere matter of leanness : a lean man is an ima ginative one, a fat man the contrary. Now, however agreeably this may sound in the ears of those who like ourselves have the good luck to be . - The continuance of fine harvest weather, with the fa vourable reports from the Corn districts respecting the produce and housing of the crops, have had the effect of checking the rise in the price of every article in the Corn trade in this place, the consumers being shy at purchasing except for immediate consumption. The attendance on 'Change to-day was slender, we had likewise a small show of samples. Fresh Wheat was in moderate request, while the old stale samples were dull, and the turn cheaper; Barley, Oats, and Pease, as last noted, but Beans are ra ther better sold ; the stocks of Malt and Flour at hand are each much reduced, and last week's prices are barely sup ported for either; New Oatmeal is dull, at a further re duction of Is. per load.

PP. 805.-LONDON, 1527. 29 34, 35 9' 5 30 27 9 28 10, transparent, it will tell but badly for your honest open-faced fellow, six foot high by about four broad, like the gentleman who, while we write this, is stationed, in all the pride of the above dimen sions, at our elbow. But let the Doctor speak for himself. The peculiar dispositions of the organization are so united with the state of man's sensibility and irritability, that the degree of these vital properties may be approxi mately obtained from the mere external conformation of the body. Thus, in proportion as an individual is fat or lean, robust or delicate, moderately fat, or moderately robust, the mode or degree of feeling of that person will certainly vary according to the apparent disposition of his or her or ganization. The fatter a person is, and the more bulky his body, the lower in proportion is the sphere of activity of his organs, which therefore are less susceptible of the shock of stimuli, and perform their functions slowly ; not only does the animal fat hinder the stimuli from acting directly on the nervous system, which, together with the sanguineous system, is covered by it, but it likewise re presses, and stifles its development, if it does not paralyze its strength. Nature has, therefore, well marked the class of fat individuals, who have but little sensibility and irri tability ; they are also, in general, scantily furnished with blood, excitement, and physical strength, and especially with energy. Thus, when height is found united with fatness and bulkiness of body, we have the better reason for supposing the individuals of this class to be possessed of little sensibility and irritability. _ _ The other distinct class of individuals in whom the de gree of sensibility and irritability varies according to the external conformation of the body, is that of thin, lean, and emaciated persons : these, as is well known, have a consti tution evidently nervous, the more so as their nerves are large, and more exposed to the action of stimuli, and not at all kept down by animal fat ; their organs are in general of smaller size, their operations consequently are more ener- getic • hence, however small may be the physical force of persons, we find in them the elevation of sensibility, n especially of irritability, the activity of their organs, al a e n ad d n the energy of their functions. Another striking obser vation which we shall bring forward, as a line of demarca tion between the classes of and lean persons, is that the former, whilst they abound, as before said, in animal fat, have but little blood ; the latter, on the contrary, abound in blood, and are deficient in animal fat. Fat and blood are never found together in large quanti ties in animals ; an inverse ratio exists between them ; for, two young animals of the same species being bled to death, one of which had been fattened by large quantities of its favourite food, and the other regularly fed, it was observed, after the death of the two animals, that the fatter had less blood than the lean one. It should seem, from the above statement, that feeling (that adjunct in every instance of genius, and its inspirer in many), results chiefly from the proportion of fat and lean which a gentleman may happen to carry upon his peri phery. If we take this for granted, it will save much useless trouble, and enable us in future to tell a poet at first sight. Since writing the above sentence a stranger, lean enough to be an Epic poet, has called in at the office ; further, however, than his exceeding transparency we have seen no evi dence of the poetic capacity about him. He looked smiling and comfortable ; and until we had read Dr. Rucco on the pulse, we should no more have thought of calling him a poet than Sir Thomas Lethbridge a Solomon. But truth it seems is against us. In speaking incidentally of anger, our good Doctor somewhat sweepingly calls it " the effect of ignoble and base feelings." Pray, Doctor, if a pickpocket in the street were to drag the proof s heets of your next publication out of the inarybdis of yur co pocket, wold your visit g hi m with i o n at stant chastisement u be "the effect of ignoble and base feelings"—or would these feelings es t with the footpad ? We refer for an aiisv to the to other your own go o d sense . With re spect passions, otir worthy M.D. writes as follows : N e r The passions, w hatever be their nature, all act imme diately upon theheart, and consequently upon the system of the circulation of the blood, and upon the pulse. The sen serial orga ns are certainly those which receive the various imp ress io ns from external objects, conveyin g th em to th e brai n , or co mmon sensorium, in which th e y are perce i ve d ; but it i s no t, likewise, less true, th a t ne i t h er the brain, nor the senso r i a l organs, directly participate in the effects of the passions. The sensorial organs, in other words are the direct a gen t s which convey to the common sensorium the various impressions, causes of the passions ; and it is the common sensorium, a centre of e v ery sp ec i es of sensat i on, which perceives them ; but, notwithstanding that the sen sory organs and the sensorium are the manufacturers, so to speak, the former of the impressions, and th e l a tt er o f th e sensations in which the passions originat e' yet these have n ot any direct influence, either upon the brain or the sen sorial organs ; for we see that the one, as well as the others, are f r ee from the affections irepreued by the piPSi9UP upon ooh '7l :-.. ~ :15 . ea F 2.. 4 • v = Viz, " i g P'' =' 27 4 20 0 . 26 9 28 0 26 1 28 7 26 9 4 26 j the excitability of the organs of internal life, the sole seat slanting ; the natural !Tat of the body is increased, the face of . the local disorders resulting from them, although it becomes red, and afterwards livid; the pulse heats with often happens that the effect of different passions sympatlie- vehemence and rapidity, and its oscillations are sensibly tically excite the brain and the sensorial organs. The most hard. All these phenomena, which show the state of vio celebrated actors, says Bichat, when they wish to express hence to which choleric men expose themselves in the exer the passions of love, joy, vengeance, sorrow, &c., do not cise of their passion, endanger life sufficiently to convince place the band upon the head, but upon the region of the us of the malignant character of anger ; thus, should this heart, the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, or the intos- passion not be intense and strong enough to exhaust vitality tines, according to the passion they are desirous of express- at once, and consequently bring on immediate death, as it ing. We may now proceed t o i n vestigate the relations frequently does, it may nevertheless induce apoplexy, or ul which unite the variations of the pulse with the exercise timately cause organic affections in the heart, the liver, or of the human passions. Thus hope, a pleasing passion, and constant friend of Man ; ambition, which often leads the mind to its greatest elevation; courage, the mover of great enterprises; joy, and other similar passions, when moderate, and directed by noble motives, raise the energy of the contractions of the heart and arteries; accelerate in due proportion the course of the blood in the capillary vessels of the cutaneous organ, from which results the animated tint of the phy siognomy and external covering of the body ; facilitate and develope the exercise of respiration ; improve the state of digestion, nutrition, and of the various secretions, which are then performed in a. healthy manner ; and in this way the above passions render the beatings of the pulse regular, energetic, strong, and robust, and also the lineaments of the face proportionably animated and expressive, which all correspond to the energy of vital motions, and therefore to .the elevation of the circulation of the blood. From what has been said, it is therefore clear, that is upon the organs of internel life, that the above-mentioned passions direct their action, and that, by the effects resulting from them, they merit the appellation of tonic or sthenic passions; in opposition to fear, sorrow, terror, displeasing sensations, &c., which are called asthenic, or depressing passions. These last-named passions act in quite an opposite man ner to the former, for their effects are indicated by the weakness of the organs of digestion, and by the slowness of the vital motions. This state of languor of the nervous and sanguineous system prevents the blood from reaching the capillaries, and gives rise to the other phenomenon of the paleness of the face, and of all the external covering of the hotly. The vital powers being depressed, exhibit cold sweats, tremours, palpitations, syncope, and not seldom even death itself, in consequence of the great progress made by the deterioration of the vital powers of the heart, which successively slackens its contractions, and suspends, or finally interrupts their exercise, thus occasioning death. The smallness, weakness, rarity, and often the intermittence of the pulse, which obtains during the action of depressing passions, are therefore the effect of a languid state of the ventricles of the heart and arteries, upon which these pas sions exert their action and power; and as the smallness, weakness, slowness, and intermittency of the pulse are ob served to increase; the greater must be considered the in tensity ofdepressing passions, and the degree of prostration of the vital powers. Such is, at least, the result of ob servation. But although fear, sadness, and the other asthenic pas sions, act in an inverse sense to those of joy, courage, am bition, and love ; yet, when these invade man suddenly, with great impetuosity, they either extinguish life imme diately, as the history of man testifies, or expose it to se rious diseases; diseases which, in the last analysis, do not appear different from those resulting from the asthenical passions, which exhaust life directly, whilst the others produce the same effect indirectly. Commencing, in fact, to treat of joy, we observe in na ture, that this passion, when it is intense or excessive, never fails to produce the following phenomena. First, joy shows itself in the countenance, which it tinges with red ; then the heart palpitates precipitately, instead of contracting itself regularly ; the pulse of course becomes agitated, beat ing more and more irregularly, while tears drop from the eyes ; these phenomena are often succeeded by spasm of the heart, and this fatal effect of sudden and excessive joy no longer allows the venous blood to penetrate freely into the right cavities of the heart, in order to pass by this means to the lungs, where it acquires from the inspired air the principles of vitality, which it has afterwards to distribute to the different organs of the human body ; a sensation of contraction then generally compresses the epigastric plexus, and the harbin gers of death make their appearance; these are fainting fits, the intermittence, if not total want of pulse, preceded by tremours in the extremities of the body, paleness of visage, and cold perspiration. All these phenomena, as well as the death by which they are succeeded, result from the exhaustion of vitality, produced by the impetuosity of excessive joy. Ambition, also, when immoderate, is the cause of many physical evils. 'lt plunges the mind into a perpetual agi tation ; for, even should the insatiably-ambitious man ob tain the object so much desired, he does not enjoy it, be cause that very instant he is ambitious of something else ; and thus, from desire to desire, be at length passes to a state of deep melancholy, man not being able, by a wise or dination of Providence, to attain every thing in this vale of tears ; then jealousy, envy, and hatred, combine together, and these base feelings, which certainly degrade roan, sen sibly affect the exercise of the organic functions. The heart and arteries contract irregularly, and thus the pulse of the ambitious man varies every instant; at one time it beats quickly, at another slowly ; now it is bard and deep, and now close, unequal, and often intermittent. The cause of this irregularity in the contractions of the heart and ar teries is found in the depression of the sensitive powers, which produces, in thee excessivelyeambitious nun, that continual agitation of mind which is its consequence. In like manner, courage, when carried beyond the limits of moderation, alters the course of the blood, and causes a sensible variation in the pulse. Courage, as is well known, arises from a conviction of the strength, which is relative to the energy of the contractions of the heart. The larger and stronger the heart is, comparatively to the other parts pf the body, and the more powerfully this organ drives the blood into the arteries, the greater, in general, is the courage resulting from it. But when the courageous man abuses this physical quality, concentrating all his powers in the heart, and therefore in the system of the circulation of the blood, in order to increase their motions, there must, of necessity, this evil ensue, that the system of the circula tion of the blood passes from an excess of strength and ac tivity to that of depression ; a transit which corresponds to the principle of the physicians of the mechanical sect; a swim, tono laxitas. The strength of the heart and arte ries, by excess of exercise, slackens, and the whole system of the circulation falls into a like debility ; a debility which Brown designates as indirect. The prostration of the vital powers of the heart causes the contractions of its ventricles to be languid, slow, and uncertain, and consequently the pulse to be small, weak, deep, unequal, and often intermit tent ; and, instead of being energetic, strong, full, ar‘d ro bust, as it is found to be in a man moderately courage ous , it becomes the index of the state of depression and prostra tion of the organic functions when this passion is exercised beyond the limits of moderation. Equally fatal are the effects produced upon man by im petuous love. Whether the passion, thus intense, be caused by physical wants, or whether it is inflamed by a heated imagination ; in both cases, either the man possesses the beloved object with delight, or ardently desires to Po ssess it; in the first case, he is always in a state of excitement Irons its presence, which does not fail to inflame him m ore and more ; and the fear of losing it, whilst it is in his pos session, joined to the ardour which lie feels in approaching it, are both of them continual stimuli, which keep him in a state of orgasm. The heart palpitates, instead of smile lating regularly ; the arteries, which f o ll ow it s di rect i on , c ontract themselves imperf ec tly, an d th e pu l se cannot t h en but be agitated, quick, and unequal, and subsequently be comes small, slow, close, weak, deep, and nut unfrequently intermittent. in the other viscera. It is a constant phenomenon to see the vital powers fall into a profound depression after a paroxysm of auger ; and its constancy is maintained by the loss of the many efforts made' by life, when raised to that degree to which it ar rives by means of the paroxysm of anger. The rapid and tumultuous motions in which the exercise of anger consists, do not differ from so many convulsive efforts,which, according to the law of the animal economy, must fatigue the organs, and enfeeble the functions ; and this general asthenical state of the body is sensibly indicated by the pulse, which, from being vehement, hard, quick, and elevated, as in the first corning on of anger, becomes small, weak, deep, un equal, and often intermittent, after the paroxysm of this more than dangerous passion. We will here beg leave just to enquire a little into some few of the above remarks. A good actor, says Dr. Rucco, should place his hand upon the part illustrative of the passion he would wish to depict, so that Romeo, when anxious to paint his hope of recovering Juliet, should lay his hand "on the capillary vessel of the cutaneous organ," on which that passion mainly operates. Lear too, when agreeably to Garrick's alteration, he has recovered Cordelia, should, as a token of joy, apply his digits to the epigastric plexus,' because joy " generally compresses " that interesting part. We recom mnd this to Mr. Keau's attention, when lie next undertakes Lear, though, at the same time, we fear that such a scientific display of joy will be mistaken for evidence of a bowel complaint. The Doctor's remark that " ambition when im moderate, is the cause of many physical evils ;" is striking,—not to say original ; indeed we know not where to find its parallel, except in the novel truism of Mr. George Colman, the younger (fifty years 'old at the least) that " time past never returns." But our good Doctor's moral reflections are all steeped in equal originality. " Man," he proceeds to remark, " by a wise ordination of Providence, is not able to attain every thing in this vale of tears." Cer tainly not ; or the Marquis of Londonderry would have procured his pension. He adds, that " jealousy, envy and hatred, certainly de grade man ;" to which we reply, with Shakspeare— " There needs no ghost come from the grave, my Lord, To tell us that." " Courage," adds our Doctor, "arises from a con viction of strength." What then made Alexander, the most diminutive of heroes, a warrior ? What made the poor, feeble, emaciated Narses the conqueror of Genseric and his Vandals ? What made Peter the Hermit, the most daring of bigots ? Above all, what made our own Nelson, a victor ? Was it the conviction of strength. Alas ! like the others just enumerated, this last was among the weakest of mortals ; weak in frame, still weaker in constitution. The fact is, Doctor, that courage has a higher origin than you seem willing to allow it. It is linked up with reason, and those lofty qualties of mind which received from birth, and strengthened from education, are totally independent of the body. " Fatal," repeats our M.D., " are the effects pro duced upon man by impetuous love." Very true ; it is but last week that Sir Gregor MacGregor was brought to Bow-street, for in dulging in this very passion, and what is worse, was committed to Tothill-Fields Prison, where he now lies—a princely proof of our Doctor's sapient aphorism. We shall con clude this hasty desultory analysis with the following " signs of the pulse," by the help of which every man may handle his own wrist, and ascertain his own complaint with the most satis factory and scientific address. Ist. If the pulse, from being small, becomes suddenly great, without the strength of the patient being improved, it is a sign of death in lethargy and apoplexy, according to the observations of Baglivi and Wapfer. 2d. The change of the rare and slow pulse into quick and frequent is a favourable sign in ataxic fevers and by. posthenic diseases. 3d. The softness and rarity which succeed the excessive hardness and frequency of the pulse in acute byposthenic fevers, is an excellent sign. 4th. According to the observations of Actuarius, the elevated, vehement, and quick pulse announces the com mencement of a disease in one or more vital organs ; and the small, frequent, and weak pulse indicates, on the contrary, the long duration of a disorder, which finally suc ceeds in impoverishing and overpowering the vital powers. sth. The thinness, frequency, and hardness of the pulse show the state of irritation, or crudity, as it is called by medical practitioners. If the pulse continues thus in the successive periods of acute diseases, after the epocba of the concoction, it is a sign evidently unfavourable ; for it is then supposed that the crisis has not taken place there, or that, if it does take place subsequently, it will not be true or salutary. 6th. The frequent, small, ir regu l a r, and thin p u l se , whilst it generally indicates the concourse of spasm, irrita tion, and weakness, is also the worst sign in pestilential fevers, in typhus, in spurious angina, in false peripneu monia, and in epidemic dysenteries. 7th. The sudden change of the great and full pulse into the frequent, small, thin, and irregular pulse, is a fatal sign in acute diseases. Bth. The greatness and fulness which succeed to the smallness, weakness, frequency, and irregularity of the pulse, is a sign undoubtedly favourable in acute diseases. 9th. The pulse which vacillates and changes its form every instant, is always a fatal sign. This vacillation, when it exists, is observed at one time strong, at another time weak, at one time rare, at another frequent, at one time quick, at another slow : when the pulse thus vacillates and changes, it is a sign that the pericardium, or the heart, or even both, are affected by inflammation. 10th. When the beating of the pulse becomes very sen sible throughout the whole of the arterial tree, in the pre sence of acute diseases, it is an unfavourable sign, because such a phenomenon arises from the deep and general in flammation which is precisely indicated by this sensible beating throughout the whole arterial tree. 11th. The frequency, weakness, and inequality of the pulse is an unfavourable sign, as it indicates the organic ---. . And, in th e second case, transport, whilst he not posse ss t h e b e l ove d o bj ect w i t h ase, that in which the person doe s ar dently desires to possess it ; in this second case the effects are still more alarming. The beloved object who is absent, plunges him int o a state of d eep depression ; or withh e ld from h i m, keeps t h e l o ver in Et state of conti nual intern a l t umu lt, w hi c h gradually consumes and ex hausts the v i ta l powers , an d a t length h en ce, from the state of prostra tion of the vital powers of the hea rt arises the irregularity of its contractions, and hence the sma l lness, deepness, ra rity, and i nequality o f t h e p u lse, which is often con f oun d e d with the intermittency of its beat ; and such is the prostra tion of the organic functions in some young and despairing lovers, wh o h ave b een d e p r ived of the beloved o bj ect , t h at it require s t h e most pro f oun d saga city of a skilf u l and con summate physician not to confound this deplorable state of lifeawith other severer and more dangerous diseases. And to how ma ny f ata l di sor d er s are not patients o f t hi s descrip tion expos e d, w h en th e ir case is intrusted to a person who is not suffi c i ent l y ver sed in the study of th e h uman pas sions ! The passion which is hurtful to man, even when mode rately used, is anger, rage, disdain, or desperation : anger, besides degr a di ng man, inasmuch as it i s the effect of ig noble and base f e lings, likewise changes his constitution and health. In the strong exercise of this brutal passion, a more or less t u multuous and rapid internal movement is generated, which spreads itself especially over the vascular sanguineous system ; for this reason the heart redoubles and multiplies its efforts, whilst it performs, as expeditiously as possible, its r apid and strong c ontractions, from which arise the accelerated course of the blood and of the beatings of the pulse : to this mode of existence of the system of the circulation of the blood corresponds the then active exer cise of respiration ; because the lungs also multiply the number of inspirations within a given time ; the contrac tions of the muscles the face exhibit in the physiognomy the image of a state of convulsion, not less violent than affections of the breast, according to Hoffmann's observations. 12th.— Tbe small ness , rar i ty , an d w ea kne ss (approach ing toinsensibility) of the pulse, is an unfavourable sign, especially in syncope. 13th. T ire pulse which grows weaker, proceeding from the greatness to the insensibility of its oscillations, is the worst sign, as it indicates the successive exhaustion of vitality. In taking leave of our author, we cannot but thank him for the very navel information he has imparted. We learn from his Treatise three things, (just three more than we ever yet learned from one Medical Treatise), first, that the sen sibility consequent on genius originates in lean ness, that therefore the living skeleton was, ten to one, a poet ; secondly, that courage is the con viction of strength ; and thirdly, that love is a fatal passion, upon winch p r i nc i p l e Si r G regor MCGregor bids fair, In def au lt o f b a il, to termi nate his careeringloriously in Tothill-fields. Sir JOHN YIELDING, the famous police-ma gistrate, who was blind, had a pipe fixed from the carriage t o the coach-box, th roug h w hi c h h e cou ld cex iverse with the coachman with out being heard by others. When his c hariot was stopped b y an y o bstruction is the streets, he inquired of the coachman what kind of carriage , &c. occa sioned it, and it was his humour then to put oat his head, and shout out in his usual peremptory tone, " Take that cart out of the way ;" or , You, Sir, in that chaise, drive on !" This occasioned great astonishment how he who was blind could perceive the cause of the stoppage, and was a sourer of great amusement to Sir John,...,Dr. Witchiner',4 " Traveller's Qracte." 6 710 0 9 0 0 5 2 3 4 5 0 4 2 -- Inferior for grinding 4 Oats (451 b.)

ALARMING FlRE.—This morning, about half-past two o'clock, the watchman stationed at the corner of Chapel-street, Edgware-road, observed flames issuing from a ham and beef house, No. 4, in that street, kept by a man named Fairbrother. He instantly ran to the house, and, by repeatedly knocking, succeeded in awakening the inmates. Mr. Fairbrother, who with his wife slept in the first pair room, attempted to get down stairs, but when he, opened the door for the purpose, the volume of fire and smoke that burst into the room, prevented him from 'put ting his intent into execution. The screams of Mre. Fair brother and her three daughters at this moment were quite appalling. They were seen running about tlee room in a state of distraction. The persons in the stret,t called on them to leap from the window, which tlxy did, fortunately without receiving any injury. Mr. Fairbrother also escaped in the same way. About this time the door was burst open, when a son of Mr. F. a lad between 17 and 18 years of age, was found enveloped in flames and dread fully burnt. He was immediatelyconveyed to St. George's Hospital. Scarcely had the family been delivered from their perilous situation, when the floors, roof, and back wall gave way, and in less than three quarters of an hour from tha discovering of the fire the house was a complete ruin. A number of engines arrived on the spot, but their attention was directed entirely to the saving of the adjoining houses, as from the commencement all hope of benefiting the one where the fire had broken out was congeieed to be useless. Miss Chester, formerly of our theatre, it is said, has retired from the stage. She has taken a house at Bray, in Berkshire, near the place of her nativity, and has endeared herself to the poor on the spot by her kindness and liberality.
