No. 9, New Bridge-street, London. Ho,touaro St a, IBEG leave to inf o r m y ou , th a t ever s i nce t h e A. year 1790, 1 had been atHicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every course at medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with l i ttl e re li e f , wi ; u ld appear to be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my stisorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer un the crown of my head, one en 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 bait also two large nodes un it, was very much discoloured, and gave me uch excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; io this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take Your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the 2/3th o. May; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my headand arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores ins my leis healed also; leaving, how ever, considerable discolour:own in Om 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 thus became, by yo r liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former complairits—have recovered my former spirits and strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, tonic astonishment of all who knew u.r, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg yon, for the good of o th er su ff er i ng morta l s, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humbleservant.

FALSE RETURN of the PRICES of CORN. Yesterday the case against Messrs. Boggis and Savage, corn-factors, in pursuance of notice from the Loan Marou, came on at the Justice-room, at the Mansion-House.. ' The Surveyor-General of Corn Returns, charged the de fendants with having made an undue return of the sales of corn. It will be recollected that a conviction took place on the 22d of last month, on a similar charge against Messrs. Ruston. Mr. Boi.LAND attended for the prosecution, and Mr. LAW for the defence. Neither of the defendants obeyed the sum mons to attend, although the postponement of the case was made with the view of having one or both of them present. It is necessary for the elucidation of this case to state what (Ice have it upon authority) transpired after the decision upon thg„sharge against Messrs. Itiron. One of the defendants in the preSent case, at the suggestion of the solicitor for the Surveyor-General, addressed a letter to the Surveyor-General, of which the following is a copy : " Jacobs, Esq. " Sir—The hearing of the information against Messrs. Boggis and Savage, for an undue ret urn of corn, havin g b een postponed inconsequence of the non-attendance of Mr. Boggis or myself, which was impossible, on account of illness, and which we were informed would not be necessary, if a solicitor appeared for us, I have now to state to you, that Mr. Boggis, from the infirmities of his age (76), and the effect of a para lytic stroke, has for many ye ars b een i ncapa bl e o f ta ki ng any part in the business; and 1 have for myself been confined to my house by an abscess upwards of sixteen weeks, as Mr. Le vick, who lives very near me; knows perfectly, nor does my surgeon give any hopes of my being able to get out for many months. " The return in question was made while I was confined to my bed, and if our clerk was by any ßtl3 induced to re turn a sale not strictly and bonajide correct, it was without my knowledge. " I cannot suppose your object in laying these informations vindictive, but with the view of preventing any undue return for the future, and as this end must be fully attained by the conviction which took place at the Mansion House, I put it to your candour and liberal feelings, whether, under the peculiar circumstances above stated, you can deem it necessary to pro ceed any farther against us in this business, especially after the serious injury we are likely to sustain, from my incapa city to attend to business being circulated through the country by the newspapers. " This will be handed to you by Mr. Lofty, our Solicitor, from whom I hope speedily to hear that you have consented to withdraw the information. " I remain, respectfully, Sir, your most obedt. Servt. "JOHN SAVAGE." Mr. Jacobs, upon reading the letter, expressed his regret to Mr. Lofty that it a rr i ve d too l ate , and the proceedings must take its course ; that it was in the bands of Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Holland, 31r. Gr a nt, a nd M r . J ames P ar k e, without whose advice and concurrence he neither could nor would do any thing in the affair ; and he concluded with an expression of his regret that he had not instituted proceedings in the Court of Exchequer, and indicted all the parties for a conspi racy besides. The next communication upon the subject was from Mr. Reynolds, the prosecutor's solicitor, who reminded the oppo site party of the day of adjournment, and said he should insist on the personal attendance of both defendants, unless he could be assured that Mr. Walker and Mr. Garwood would be present to give evidence on the part of the phisecution ; and if not, that he would apply to the Lord Mayor to issue a war rant for compelling the attendance of the defendants. Mr. Lofty, in reply, repeated, that it was impossible for his client to appear ; and that with respect to the witnesses alluded to, he would not attempt to influence them, but leave them to do as they thought fit. He also intimated, that the defendants could plead in this as they might in any other case, by attorney, where the judgment upon conviction could not he incarceration. In a subsequent correspondence, Mr. Lofty stated that his client, Nit. Savage, would endeavour to be brought to the Mansion- House, although it would be at the risk of his life ; and Mr. Reynold replied, that it was only for the defendants to request the witnesses to obey the summons to prevent such hazardous consequences. When the Loan MAYOR and Alderman VENABLVS, who presided, called upon the prosecutor to proceed with his case yesterday, Mr. w stated, in objection to the course Mr. Bolland intended to pursue, that in the case of the King r. Simp son, it was shewn that many Acts of Parliament that ap point a forfeiture or penalty do not give the Justices power to bring the offender before them, the words of the Court being " as for the other order of conviction," whereby it appears the defendant made an attorney to defend for him. We think that is certainly good, for the offender may entrust his defence with another, and the Justices cannot en. force him to appear in person. In Paley's work on convictions, it was also said, " For offences arising by penal statute merely, and not connected with any breach of the peace, a Justice has no authority, as necessarily incident to the cognizance of the offence, to apprehend the accused in the first instance, or even after a summons and default, but can only summon him to at tend, and in default of his appearance proceed ex-parte." The Learned Counsel argued, upon those authorities, that the Lord Mayor was bound to proceed upon the case in the absence of the defendants, Mr. Lofty, their solicitor, being present to de fend them. Mr. iSOLLAND was of opinion that the authorities first quot ed had no reference whatever to the present question. He im mediately called the witnesses, but in vain. Indeed, he did not expect their attendance, and without them he could do nothing. Mr. LAw said he tendered Mr. Lofty, in the place of his clients, to plead Not Guilty, and h e ca ll e d f or an acqu i tta l. Mr:BOLLAND—By no means; you are not entitled to ac quittal. I shall withdraw the information, because I have no evidence. Mr. LAW pressed hard for an acquittal. His client Mr. Savage had, he said, at the risk of his life, come to the neigh bourhood of the Mansion-house, but by his (Mr. Law's) advice he would not appear, as the legal objections which presented themselves ought to be taken advantage of. The LO RD MAYOR decided in favour of the course pursued by Mr. Holland. Mr. Lam—Then we are to understand that this information is not to be visited upon us again ? Mr. BoLLAND —No. We shall not act upon this informs. tion again. Mr. RE Y x ot.Ds —But you are not to understand that we are, therefore, not to prosecute you for any future offence of the kind. It was observed in a conversation upon this subject, which has not at all abated in interest, that two eminent corn-factors have had frequent conference with Mr. Huskisson anti Mr. Grant, who, they say, are both of opinion that the ports should be opened, and that a duty of 25 per cent. would be a sufficient .protection of the agricultural interests—that the present system is fraught with injurious consequences, amongst which the in ducement to make fraudulent returns on one aide, to counteract those made on the other, is by no means the least. Ipswich, for instance, a few months since, returned the sale of 1,900 quarters of oats. at 17 or 18 shillings per quarter, when, in point of fact, it was well known that there were not fit/0 in the town ; and corn-dealers were purchasing at that time in the London market, at 26 and 27 shillings a quarter. It was also said, that an opinion had been given by the Attorney and Solicitor-General, on a question of a very im portant nature to corn-dealers and the public. It was held by an eminent Counsel on a recent occasion, that to satisfy the corn laws, a delivery of the bulk must ta k e p l ace, in order to constitute a sale, for which purpose a delivery by sample would not suffice. The law authorities, when th e i r o pi n i on was ta k en by some individuals interested, said that " no action (i. e. for penalties under the statute) can be had on the ground of an actual non-delivery, inasmuch as the .granary-keeper, after notice of a sale, ticket and transfer note would be a transfer of corn for the buyer, which would be equivalent to an actual delivery by the "seller."

'pi t 6 new for sre. the the PRICE SI3VENPENCE. LITERARY NOTICE. ;, A VOICE from INDIA, in Answer to the. RelOortira of England. Dedicated by permission to the Might HO- President of the Board of Controul. By Jon if SEELT J Captain in the Bombay Native Infantry, and late Second in Command First Battalion of the Regular Briga,le of his Highness the Rajah of Nagpore ; Author of The Won ders of Elora." Whatever relates to the'*elfare of our Indian possessions is of such impfftance, that we took up this work with eager curiosity. The Author indeed, had introduced his main subject, viz: the question respecting th e u tili ty or danger of a Free Press in India in a series of letters, subscribed by his own name, in THE SUN, and we have rear son to believe that they produced a powerful effec upon those who turn their attention to the con sideration of this important topic. Captain SEELY urges very strong arguments against the toleration of a Free Press in India, and the work before us may be considered a WAlL:uric- Volcr, which sagacity and experience justify him in holding forth to the country, and to which it may listen with great advantage. Mr. RucitiNoisitm has entered the lists against our Author, and sup ports the opposite side of the question. We have not room to enter into the controversy, but we confess, however, that we feel a strong bias in favour of the reasoning advanced by Captain SEELY, notwithstanding our conviction of the vital importance of a Free Press in this country. Capt. SEELY, though attacked without ceremony by his opponent, keeps his temper, and seems more anxious for the diffusion of truth than for victory. The subject is too interesting to be canvassed in this place, nor is it necessary to our Readers, in particular, who have perused the series of letters which appeared in our Paper; we therefore refer them to the Work before us, in which the Author has supported his opinions with cogent arguments, founded upon strik ing and solid facts. The Work is written in an easy and temperate style, and the long and va ried local experience of the Author gives it a claim to the attention of the Philosopher, the Politician, the Merchant, and the Statesman. NATIONAL GUARDIAN INSTITUTION. Yesterday a numerous Meeting of Gentlemen waa held at the London Coffeehouse, Ludgate.hill, for the purpOse of establishing the above Institution—T. W. HOD. ESCI in the Chair. The Own max opened the business of die Meeting by scat. ing, that two Institutions having been formed under the title of "The National Registry and Benevolent Institution," and" The Commercial and Domestic Guardian Institution," the objects of which were in a great measure the same, it had been deemed ad visable to form a union of the two Societies, in order the more effectually to promote the benevolent objects in view. He felt that it was unnecessary for him to go into a detail of the plans atiotit to be submitted to them, or to point out the necessity which existed for the well-directed labours of such an Institution as that now contemplated. Ile trusted that the exertions of the Gentlemen who had been engaged in organizing the two Institu tions would be cordially and zealously given to the promotion of the United Society. The Gentlemen who formed the Com mittee for effecting this union had, with much labour and ability, prepared a report, and a code of bye-laws, which he would request a Gentlinan near him to read to the meeting. Mr. F. A. WINDSOR read the report. After noticing the measures taken by the two Societies, the committee recommend ed a union of the same, under the title of the " National Guar dian Institution." The report then submitted that the exer tions of the Society "should be directed to ameliorate the condi. tion of that large and useful class of the community, which com prise the employed in every capacity, by facilitating the means of their obta►ning honest employment, by rendering them timely assistance and protection in sickness and adversity, as well as permanent support when they are disabled by age or infirmity; and, on the other hand, to secure families anti employers against the numerous evils to which they are continually sub jected by the introduction of designing and dishonest indivi duals into their establishments. " Your Committee refrain from entering into a minute sur vey of the wide field, which the experience already acquired has made manifest for the labours of this Institution ; but, for the attainment of the great objects in view, they propose— " 1. To register the names, characters, and connexions of per sons seeking employ in every capacity, commercial, domestic, or otherwise; to investigate such characters, and, when approved, then, and then only, at a small charge, so recommend them to situations ; and, as a farther inducement to good conduct; to distinguish meritorious individuals by the annual distribution of medals. " 2. To register the names and addresses of employers; and to make necessary inquiries as to their respectability previous to supplying them with the parties whom they may require. " li. To prosecute persons recommended by the Institution, who shall be guilty of any flagrant act in their situations. " 4. To protect persons of good character so recommended, who shall be oppressed, injured, or defrauded. " b. To afford temporary pecuniary relief, as well as medical advice and assistance, to such persons of good character as are proper objects for the attention of the Institution, in times of s►ckness and distress, who may come recommended by mem bers duly qualified, or any 3letropolitan Magistrate. " 6. To raise a Fund for the erection and endowment of Alms-houses, for the permanent maintenance and support of decayed servants of good character. " 7. To afford a residence to all unemployed candidates (at a low and proper compensation) who have no parents or friends with whom they can reside, and who are destitute of protec tion, in order to preserve theM from contamination and evil association. " Your Committee further recommend that, At a seasonable time hereafter, a Saving Bank be established, for the encou ragement of habits of industry and economy amongst the em ployed classes who are more immediately contemplated by this Institution." " In concluding their report, your Committee cannot refrain from expressing an ardent hope that one united and cordial feel ing will be entertained for the promotion of the single object which all must have in view." On the motion of Mr. DawsoN, the report was received and adopted. he By-Laws having been read to the Meeting, Mr. Jouw WILIcs suggested several amendments thereto, and pointed out the advantages which it was fair to calculate would result from the efforts of the Institution. An Honorary Board of Directors, and a Ladies' Committee, were then formed. Sir Walter Stirling,Bart., Sir Jobn Perring,Bart., and WITI. Fry, Esq., were appointed trustees, and Thos. Wm. Hodson, Esq., treasurer of the Institution. The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously given to the CHAIRMAN ' who, in returning thanks, pledged himself to use his best exertions on behalf of the-Institution. A liberal subscription was entered into by the gentlemen present. On Tuesday afternoon a chimney-sweep, who had been at work in a house situated in the Mint, Southwark, having missed a bag of soot, and susp ect i ng t h e party who had deprived him of i t, and being much irritated, said, " May God strike me dead if I don't serve them out for it !" He had scarcely uttered the words before he fell down dead on the spot.
