No. 9, New Bridge-street, London. HONOURED IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every course et medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twicc dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In tic spring of last year my oisorder had got to such a head - , as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful manner ; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me uch excruciating pain, particularly when warm in h t . : a, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thonspson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take vour Lealie's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the 26th o. May; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a mouth the ulce rs' on my head and arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores on my legs healed also ; leaving, how ever, considerable discolimratioo in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little longer pet severance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going oft.-1 thus became, by yo r liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits and strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew n.e, I am at a loss in what terms'te express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case us public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very Ip.ouble servant ALEX.

TO THE EDiTOR OF THE SUN. SIR—On opening Captain NrcnoLLs' Report upon the probable amount of Tonnage available to the pur poses of the Canal, my attention was greatly excited by its peculiar moderation. The anxiety evinced to avoid even the appearance of exaggeration every candid person must admit to be truly praiseworthy in the commencement of the proceedings relating to so important and desirable an undertaking. Hav ing had opportunities of making observations in similar cases, I will, with your permission, suggest wherein I am persuaded several items are rated greatly below what might be fairly anti cipted and reasonably calculated upon, without adverting to the hints given in p. 36 and 37 of the Report, which most assured ly deserve great notice, in regard to expected gains not includ ed in the estimates. • Tons. In taking the whole Tonnage of Article I. p. 32, at 60,000 15,000 Tons are allowed fur groceries, dry goods, and all other articles .of import,. .which I submit is fully 10,000 Tons too low an estimate—take this at only one half, or 5,000 Article 11. is inserted as - _ - 500,000 The coals consumed in the district alluded to can not he less than 1,500,000 Tons, Which is below the medium estimate; but as the splint or stone coals from South \Vales will to a certainty be imported for public works as well as private consumption on the score of good quality and - cheapness, it must surely be admitted 200,000 Tons additional would be considerably below the reality —suppose it only - 150,000 Article 111. p. 33. Not knowing the price of blue stone for pav ing, and blue pebbles, I do not offer any ad dition to the - - 30,000 Article IV. p. 34. Tonnage taken at - - 205,337 The amount of Registered Tonnage from official documents of vessels passing round the Land's End was 419,673 Tons ; any person acquainted with the coasting trade must be convinced that at least four fifths of those vessels would have gone through the Canal had it been formed, for independently of the difference in the premium of Insurance, and the time saved, which would exceed the expence of Tonnage, a very material loss would have been avoided in the general and particular averages on ships if not cargoes, between the points mentioned in the Appendix C; the whole amount of which, exclusively of the usual allowance made to the Underwriters by the Assured of one-third off the coast of the new materials substituted for the old in repairs, is rarely if ever recovered from the Underwriters, notwithstanding the party may be fully insured. As a saving in time would increase the number of voyages,_ and consequently the Tonnage, I have no hesitation in enlarging this estimate by 102,168 Article V. is taken at - At least one-sixth short as to the whole Tonnage, 1 3 2 1 7 : 68 6 9 8 6 which may be fairly admitted of Article VI. is very moderately taken at 80,010 Article VII. is taken at - 83,312 The grain and provisions alone from Ireland must have amounted to upwards of 100,000 Tons,and there cannot be a doubt, including other pro duce, this estimated is short by 20,000 Tons at least, but suppose it only 10,000 The Irish Trade to London anti the different ports in the English. Channel has for years past gra dually increased, and it is not too much to as sume, that from the ports of Cork, Youghall, Dungarvon, Waterford, New Ross, Wexford, Dublin, Drogheda, Newry, Dundalk, Belfast, Londonderry, Sligo. Galway, Limerick. &c. there will be upwards of 50 regular traders of 150 tons burthen, upon en average performing 12 trips every year. all availing themselves of the facilities the projected Canal would offer : many Irish vessels at present go through the Forth and Clyde Canal, which it is evident would give a preference to this, because of per forming the voyage in less time and with di minished risk. Here would be 90,000 tons at least, independently of what are included under Article VII.; but to avoid objection, take these at the commencement at only one-third 80,000 The articles of Salt, Earthenware, and occasion ally Foreign Produce, from Liverpool to Lon don, and ports in the Channel, the vessels in re turn being laden with Flint, Potters' Clay, &c. must at least amount to an extra 20,000 Carlisle, Maryport, Whitehaven, and -Lancaster, the whole of the West and South-west Coast of Scotland, will present an increase of Ton. nage to the extent of at least 50,000, which must be admitted to be taken much under the mark at 30,000 Total Tonnage, exclusive of the Bristol Channel Trade - - - 1,474,661 Tonnage referred to under Articles of 1. to VII. 1 4 394,661, at 1(1. per ton per mile (44 miles) £255,687 17 0 80,000 not included in the Report, taken at the same rate - - 14,666 13 4 £270,354 10 4 Original Estimate . 1:200,8.16 13 4 Becomes increased by . 69,507 17 0 I have been exceedingly desirous to limit myself strictly , within the bounds of probability; and in presenting this in crease of 69,5071. 17s. I am actuated solely by a sincere wish for the success of the project, and not in the slightest degree to ar raign the original estimates, which most assuredly are entitled to a large portion of respect. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, February 4, 1825. AM ICUS. KONIGSBURGEI, JAN. 18.—All the lower dis tricts of this City continue flooded with water. So great is the injury which the dikes have sustained, that many of them will require a complete ren ewa l, w hi c h w i l l prove a very costly affair. COPENHAGEN., JAN. 21.--I II the course of the present winter we have at different times been visited with a mighty influx of waters; but, thank GOD, very little damage has resulted. At Amager, upon one occasion, the in undation was awfully complete. The Grand Jury of the Court of King's Bench have found a true bill of indictment for conspiracy against Eli zabeth Virginia Perrot, a French milliner, and Victor Bertrand, formerly a grocer in the Rue G rene ll e Caiolet, Paris, who, it will be recollected by our readers, preferred a bill ofindictm entagainst Mr. Jas. Askew, of the firm of Askew and Normanville, late proprietors of a French millinery establishment in Oxford street and Cheltenham, at the last September Sessions, at the Old Bailey, for an alleged robbery of money and jewellery to a large amount, when Mr. A. was acquitted on the evidence given for the prosecution. LONGEVITY.-[From the New York Gazette, 28th Dec.]—Within these last eight years, s a y s th e C ana di an Spectator, there have died in the village of Caganawaga. ten Indians, each of them past an hundred years of age. Some day's ago the curate buried a woman aged 108. There is now living a squaw, who has her descendants to theififth gener ation ; in other words, the child h as now living, her mother, grandmother, grandmother's mother, and grandmother's grand mother ! It may be worthy of remarking, that the life of these people is made up of a singular mixture of idleness and hard ship ; and upwards of ninety meals in an hundred consists of Indian corn (maize) cooked in a way peculiar to Indians. We extract the following from a Frankfort Journal—" Lately, as the Frankfort post carriage was passing through the Wood of Walmeroder, a mad fox clambered up the fore part of the vehicle and bit the postillion. The latter, however, perfectly undismayed, seized the rabid animal, and lifting up the lid of the box upon which he was seated, thrust him therein without further ceremony ; after which the poqil. lion resumed his seat, and drove on to the station at Freiling. Having arrived there he had the box carried into a barn where t he dangerous animal was shot." , THE A ItM Y.

WINCHESTER, FEn. 3.—At a recent meeting in this city, the Mayor observed, that the extreme good and orderly con duct of the troops which had lately quitted the city, would, he was sure, be fresh in the recollection of the inhabitants, and he thought some public expression of approbation was merited. — He then proposed the subjoined vote of thanks, which being read by the town -clerk,- was seconded by Alderman Littlehales. " The Mayor and inhabitants of Winchester beg to express their -unqualified approbation of the conduct of his Majesty's 97th regiment of foot, which has been lately raised, and quar tered for several months in the barracks of this city. The anxiety and exertions of the officers to maintain good order and discipline, and to promote harmony between the soldiers and the inhabitants, have acquired the- regard and esteem of the public. The peaceable and inoffensive demeanour of the soldiers has given universal satisfaction ; and the subordination and regularity which they have at all times displayed, afford an earnest of steadiness and intrepidity i❑ the hour of danger, which are the surest means of honour and renown. The city feels deep regret at the departure of the corps, and the best wishes will attend it through every change of station, and in every enterprize; and if the regiment is ordered to embark for distant regions, the inhabitants of the city fervently hope that the arm of Providence may be extended over them, to guard them from the perils of the sea, and the ravages of disease in eastern clinics. Should they be sent among those nations who still lie under the darkness of heathenism, a confidence is en tertained that they will feel that it is the part of Britons not to be actuated with desire of conquest or dominion, but to pro tect and civilise those less favoured nations, to display the su periority of European institutions, and to impart, as far as lies in their power, those cxnforts and blessings which they them selves enjoy. As often as they are called on to contend with the enemies of their country, may their ardour and courage be crowned with success : but when the demand of valour is satis fied, may the sword be sheathed in mercy,—and, when the day is won, and their opponents are driven from the field, may every rank with enthusiastic feelings pour forth the cheers of triumph and the shouts of victory." This met the concurrence of all present, and w.is signed by the Mayor, on behalf of the meeting, which was then dissolved. The following reply from 'Aleut—Col. Hamilton, addressed to Richard Littlehales, Esq., was received this morning : " Dear Sir—l have this morning the pleasure of receiving your note, conveying me the resolutions of the Mayor and in-' habitants of Winchester, approving of the conduct of the regi ment under my command, whilst it had the good fortune to be stationed in your city. The unanimous and unqualified ap probation of so respectable a Corporation as that of Winchester, is - indeed most gratifying to me and my brother officers, and I have no doubt will be the strongest stimulus to the young soldiers of the 97th regiment, to merit, by due subordination to the civil authorities (in any quarter of the globe where their services may be required), the good wishes of the inhabitants. "Accept, dear Sir, my warmest thanks for your uniform politeness since I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance, and believe me faithfully, yours, " C. HAMILTON, Lieat..Col. 97th Regt. " Gosport, Feb. 4, • 1825." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 7. • CRIMINAL INFORMATION. THE KING V. THE " MORNING CHROXIQI.E." [Further particulars.] The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that a rule had been ob tained on a former day by Mr. Gurney, calling upon Mr. Clement, the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, to show cause why a criminal information should not be tiled against him, for certain alleged libellous articles which appeard in the columns of the Morning - Chronicle ' reflecting upon the character and conduct of Mr. Kenrick, a Magistrate in the county of Surrey. The libels imputed to Mr. Kenrick that he, being a Magistrate of Surrey, and Recorder of Dover, &c. had caused certain harsh and unwarranted proceedings to be instituted against a poor man named .John Franks ; and it further charged, that he was induced to do so from motives of malice against Franks, in con sequence of Franks having refused to tranfer to him a certain small property adjacent to the farm of Mr. Kenrick, at Pets worth, in the county of Surrey. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read the affidavits of Mr. Kenrick ; in them he did not deny but that some treaty had taken place between him and Franks regarding a piece of ground, but he denied any motives of malice against him on that account. It then went on to say, that a piece of timber, value about four-pence, was fimnd on the premises of Franks, and sworn to by a servant of Mr. Kenrick, as being Keurick's property, that upon hearing this, Mr. Kenrick considered it to be a public duty to prosecute Franks for this felony, he caused a warrant to be issued, and preferred a charge of felony upon this charge. Franks was committed to Horsemonger-lane gaol, and it was two months before he could by possibility be brought to trial ; the affidavit then stated that it was his intention to prosecute Franks, but that in consequence of his having heard that he was a member of a benefit society, and that a conviction of felony against Franks would be the means of depriving Franks of all in terest he had in that society ; the deponent therefore d e t erm i ne d not to employ Counsel, and also kept back a material witness, who, if he had subpeened him to attend must necessarily have con. victed Franks. " Here," observed the Attorney General, "was a man who pretends, first to act in discharge of a public duty, suffered, by his own admission, knowingly to let the ends of Justice be defeated." This was the substance of Mr. Ken rick's affidavits. An attempt, however, had been made by Mr. Kenrick to impeach the character of Franks : what was the character of that man ? He was born in this little cottage, which his father and grandfather had inhabited before him ; he had served several gentlemen in the neighbourhood honestly and faithfully ; and when a party of fencibles had been formed by Lord Romney, Franks, from his good conduct, was select ed by Lord Romney as one of this party, and the manner in which he conducted himself gained him promotion ; he subse quently joined a regiment going to Egypt, and on his return received his discharge. Captain Thelluson, of that regiment, whom Franks had served as a groom, gave him a character of the most undeniable nature. Upon being discharged he returned to the cottage occupied by his father, being then worth about 200/., the amount of his savings ; he had brought up eight children, which had materially reduced his little property, but had lived with an unblemished character in the neighbourhood, and yet it was this man whose character was to be impeached. lie (the Attorney-General) held affidavits, from which it would appear that upon a former occasion, a girl of Franks, about nine yearn of age, had been charged with sonic offence before a Magistrate, that upon that occasion, great pains were tak p e r n ov b in y g il u l n r. m K ic e e n e Lic fu k l, to m it r u . pl K ic e a n t r e ic t'ra s n a k id s in to tire , 'n c in h k a s r , ge " ; I t t i.)a e t ver I can get hold of you I will make a public example of you." Was not this expression sufficient to prove that Kenrick entertained malice towards Franks; and would it not occur to their Lordships, that in the charge made against Franks by Kenrick he was actuated by that in•ilice? It had been said that Franks had sustained no injury by the charge against him ;•certainly it could be no injury for a man to have to walk home sixteen miles exposed to a burning sun, after having suffered two months' imprisonment upon a false charge. The Learned Attorney remarked upon the conduct of the Magistrate who committed Franks com pared with the conduct of Mr. Kenrick. The former told F. he was sorry to be obliged to do so, and recommended the constable not to take him to prison until the following morn ing. The Learned Attorney then referred to a letter written by Mr. Kenrick to the gaoler in whose custody Franks was, And which letter the Learned Gentleman described to he shaped in the grossest hypocrisy. The result of the trial proved Franks innocent beyond doubt, and indeed it appeared that the piece of board in question had been placed by one of F ra nk s 's children, without Franks's knowledge, against a rabbit hutch, in Franks's yard. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to relate the miseries endured by the family of Franks clueing his imprisonment, and asked if the whole trans action (lid not savour of malice of the worst kind on the part of Kenrick, for such conduct Mr. K. could not find any excuse, he'waS a Barrister of some standing, Recorder of DOver, a Ma.. gistrate of Surrey, and a Welsh Judge, and at one time pre sided as .Chairman of the Surrey Sessions. Now, as to the conduct of the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle, 4 was undisputed than circumstances such as these might, be legally published, and if allowed to be published; they wire also open to comment, and the comments made by the Editor of the iWeraieg Chronicle, in this . case, were such as any man of sense and feeling would have made on them. lie (the At tOrney-General) did not, however, rest his case here—he would prove a subsequent series of malice entertained in the. mind of Mr. Kenrick against Franks, even after the publication of the article in the columns of the Morning Chronicle'. Sin& the publication of these- articles, a letter had been w r itt en by Mr. Kenrick, and transmitt e d by Mr. Collett, his Solicitor, to 'the Editor of the Stamford Mercury, for insertion, and was inserted in. that paper. 'This letter was dated at Beau - maris, where Mr. Kenrick was at that time performing the duties of a Judge; and was written in ansWer to sonic of the alleged_ libels - which bad appeared in the Morning Chronicle, and had been copied into the Stamford Mercury, it complained bitterly of the article alluded to; described Franks to be very dishonest, and .the„n..4t sundry filets , re,;arding him, which he said he Shoirld put into the shape of. an affidavit, and swear to them, in order to apply to the Court for a cri minal information ; amongst the facts alleged against Franks was, that he had been considered long as a dishonest character ; that his daughter, a girl abont ten years of age, had been detected in stealing sundry trifling articles whilst em ployed about Mr. Kenrick's house.; that the articles so stolen were subsequently found in a box in Frank's house, and in the letter Kenrick lamented, that the statute render ing persons encouraging and abetting felonis was not in force at the time the transaction took place ; thereby, said the Attorney-General, of course imputing to Franks that he aided and abetted the child in stealing the trumpery arti cles referred to. The letter also accused Franks of having stolen two fat sheep belonging to a persOn in the neighbour hood, but that the person to whom they belonged, from a mis taken notice of clemency, refused to prosecute him, but added the case was as clear as possible. All these charges, said the Attorney-General, through the instrumentality of Mr. Ken rick, found their way into the Stan prd Mercury, and yet were all destitute of truth. As to stealing the sheep, he had the affi davit of the person to whom they belonged, and in it it was sworn that he never even suspected Franks of having stolen the sheep; on the contrary, the person who did steal them had been since apprehended, convicted, and transported for the of fence ; and yet Mr. Kenriek, after making such a false and scandalous report as this, came himself to complain of libel.— The report he had circulated in the Stanford Mercury was cir culated as facts, intended to be sworn to by Mr. Kenrick upon this application, but he -had not ventured to swear to th e m. The LORD HIEF JUSTICE asked, how the account in the Stan Ard Mercury was brought home to Mr. Kenrick ? Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that a copy of the state ment had been shown to Mr. Collet, Mr. Kenrick's attorney, who said it was received by him from Mr. Kenrick. It had also been shewn to Mr. Kenrick himself, and he was asked whether it was written by him or not, but he refused to give any answer to the question put to him. Their Lordships here consulted together a short time, and then asked Mr. Gurney if, after what had passed, he thought it would be advisable to press the application for a criminal information ? Mr. GURNEY thought that what appeared in the Stanford Mercury was no answer to the libels which had appeared long previously in the Morning Chronicle. The LORD CHIEF .1 us'net: did not put it in that light, but it was the opinion of the Court that it ought to interfere by the process of criminal information for a libel, in any case, where the party complaining had thought fit, before he came to that Court, to take the law into his own hands, by appealing to a newspaper for redress. Mr. GuRN . EY would not press the matter, if that was their Lordships' opinion. The ;V1'1'01{14;1:1' GENERAL hoped the rule would be dis charged with costs. - Mr. Justice BAYLEY—No, that cannot be, for we have not heard the case through. A long discussion here ensued, when at length the Counsel for the Morning Chronicle consented to waive the question of costs. The rule was then discharged without costs. EX-PARTE HARRIS. Mr. TAUNTON moved for a rule, calling on the proprietors of the Ilereford Independent Journal to show cause why a cri minal information should not be exhibited against them for several articles reflecting on Mr. Ilarris, an attorney and Under sheriff of the county of Hereford. The first article was gene rally directed in terms against alleged abuses in the office of Under.sherifi; but the Learned Counsel contended that it was sufficiently applied to illr. Harris by subsequent notices of his threats to institute proceedings, which also contained insinua tions against him. The COURT, however, thought the case did not require the interposition prayed for, and refused the rule. DOE V. HUNT. Mr. Henry Hunt appeared in person to support a rule ob tained by him for setting aside proceedings in ejectment for the recovery of a shop tenanted by him in Pall-mall, on the ground that the service of the declaration w;►s not on him, but on another person at the premises. The Court, after hearing Mr. Com x against the rule, and Mr. hunt at great length, on the point of practice, made it ab solute, but without costs. 011brE V. CROCKFOHD. Mr. PATTESON moved for an attachment against Mr. Edw. Hughes Ball Hughes, for not appearing at the trial of this action, brought to recover penalties to an immense amount for money won at play, on affidavits suggesting that he had due notice of the trial, and could have given evidence applicable to some of the counts, for want of which and other testimony ap plicable to the remaining counts, the plaintiff was nonsuited. The LORD CIIIEF-JUSTICE.-1 believe you must take a rule to shew cause ; but we shall see what you can make of it. Butts ST. EDMUND'S.—A meeting of the Cor poration of Guardians of the Poor was held at Bury St. Ed mund's, on Friday se'nnight, for the special 'purpose of coming taa final determination on the subject of establishing a manu factory in that town, for bombazines and poplins; when it was unanimously decided by the Court that such manufactory should be forthwith carried into effect, and a Committee Was accord ingly appointed, with full powers for that purpose.
