DR. COURTENAY'S NEW WORK. This Day was published, price 4s. AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea; Gleets, Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions; and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success ful practice, and at on. :safe, speedy, and effectual, is adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure. Principiis obsta ; sero medicina paratur. By C. R.

" Amongst the numerous Medical and Surgical Works of the day, we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay, on Syphilis, and other frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with' the maladies which form the subject of this very interesting publication. The luminous views taken of these diseases, together with important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary. Review. . In the island of Arran, the crops of every kind have a promising appearance ; and the harvest will be earlier than it has been for a number of years, with the exception of last year. The herring fishing nas commenced with every prospect of success.--Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE HARVEST.—In addition to the Barley which we stated to have been cut at Armathwaite, several small fields and patches of fields of the same grain have been cut along the banks of the Eden, and especially at Wetheral and Warwick, where sowing was earls,. and the -soil is light, sandy, and warm. Generally speaking, the harvestis forward—but not quite Po early as the Carlisle Journal of Saturday would have us believe, Its agricul tural readers must have been amused, we think, on read ing :—" There is a vast quantity of corn within ten miles circumference of this place quite ready for cutting, and which cannot remain upon the ground another week without loss from over-maturity : in some instances we are assured that the reaping has been too long delayed. Some crops ars at least a month behind others, according to the variety o f situation, ; but we should think that the greater part will be gathered in before the Ist of September.'' The first part of this statement is absurdly untrue ; the latter is also erroneous ; though the harvest, as we have said, will certainly nut be a late one..—Southamptvit Jerald. No. 10,890.

Wheat is particularly luxuriant ; Oath and Barley also present a very favourable appearance, and in truth every species of vegetation promises to yield a most abundant crop. Harvest, it is expected, if the present sunshine weather continues; will be general in the course of a month— at least for barley.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE SEASON...L.-The weather has been highly propitious for the last week, and we can now speak with tolerable assurance of a plentiful harvest. After a tract of dry days and sultry evenings, we were visited on Monday morning last,' with copious and refreshing showers, which came just in time to insure good returns of potatoes, turnips, and every other kind of green crop. This timely moisture will have the effect too, of increasing the length of the oat straw, which looked poor and of short growth in our im mediate neighbourhood. We learn that there never existed better prospects of a good crop in the north,—particularly in Caithness. The profusion of every production of the earth in that county this year, is without parallel. In nin ny parts of Ross-shire, the crops ate so weighty, that the late rains have lodged them, but not so much so, as to endanger them ; and it is hoped that in their inclined state they will fill and ripen, and probably rise again. We have given in another place various reports on the prospects of the . harvest throughout the county ; and the summary of the whole appears to be, that never was the kingdom blessed with more comfortable and cheering hopes on this interest. ing subJec"...invernees Courier. PRICE 71). SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-STAFFORD, AuG. 3. FALSE IMPRISOMIENT. BRIM:Err if. COYNEY; ESQ. This was an action brought •by a stone-mason of Fosbrooke, in this county, against the defendant, a respectable Magistrate, to recover a compensation in damages from him for falsely imprisoning the plaintiff. The facts of the case may be briefly described. On the 15th of December last, the plaintiff, observ ing some fowls doing considerable damage to a field of his own recently sown with wheat, went with his gun for the purpose of shooting the fowls. The fowls had removed when the plaintiff had got up to the field, and as he had to go to a place called Cheadle, he carried his gun on his shoulder. In his way, having been attacked by the dog of a person, named Dawson, he shot it, and he was afterwards summoned (at the lapse of a month) before the de fendant. Mr. Coyney told the plaintiff that he had done exceedingly wrong, and he ought to settle with Dawson, who claimed 5/. as, the value of his dog„ but Mr. Coyney, the defendant, adjudged that the plain tiff should pay 31. The plaintiff refused to do so, end Mr. -Coyney then said -he should order a, con stable to take the plaintiff into custody, and-commit him. A constable was accordingly sent for, and was in the plaintiff's presence, though he laid no hands upon him. The plaintiff, to avoid the 'inconveni ence of imprisonment, paiick.the 31., and some odd costs.. The Jury, however; ound for the plaintiff— Damages, 10/. AuctlsT 4. CHESWAS V. SMART'. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated, that this was an action brought against the defendant, as the proprietor of the Wolverhampton Chronicle, for a libel. Mr. JERVIS said that this action Was brought by the plaintiff, who was a horse-jockey, and rode at horse races, against the defendant, who was the pro prietor of the Wolverhampton. Chronicle, and it must be admitted, that as character was of the last im portance to a horse-jockey, the Jury would .know that the case was to h►m of very serious importance. The plaintiff had- been long a jockey, and was in the employ of Mr. Meynell, the High Sheriff of this county ; and it would be proved that there had been races at Stourbridge, on which occasion the plaintiff had ridden a mare, named Arachne; and it was a paragraph relating to that race which contained the libel complained •of. (The Learned Gentleman read the libel.)• On this occasion he was in posses sion of a great deal of proof' to show the pla►ntifl had acted honestly in this race; but this he should not be at liberty to adduce, unless there was a ques tion raised on the plaintiff's character by the de fendant ; and, in the first instance, he should con tent himself with showing, that the plaintiff was a jockey who received, for each race, three guineas if he lost, and five if he won ; and this, with the addi tional proof that the defendant was the editor of the paper, would entitle him to a verdict. The de.; fendant had put no justification on the record, and the plaintiff brought this action to defend his cha racter, as without character the plaintiff was de prived ,of the means of getting his livelihood. James Allen said—l am the clerk of the stamp distributor. I produce the Wolverhampton Chronicle containing the alleged libel.—The libel was read : " The Gold Cup of 100 soya. by subscription of 10/. each. " Mr. Brettle named b. m. Susan " Mr. Grazebrooke named b. m. Arachne 2 " Major Goven's br. c. the Moor " One account says this race gave universal dissatisfac tion. The rider of Arachne is suspected of having acted dishonestly, by havinglaid out of his ground at least 80 yards, and made his running each time round the hill, which is very heavy ; if he had rode her in any other way, she could not possibly have lost. ' " Another account says, that Arachne, who was the favourite, was beat by the severe running made throughout the race." Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, said that the nominal plaintiff was Mr. John Cheswas, but he did suppose that Mr. Cheswas cared rio more for the alleged libel than if it had been a playbill, or the history of a show exhibited at the Stourbridge races. He (the Learned Counsel) had no doubt that the plaintiff was a most clever rider and able jockey; but, for all that, there could be no doubt that if the jury were bound to find a verdict for the plaintiff, he was quite sure that they could not exceed a farthing in the amount of the damages they should give. It was said that a player on the stage—an orator in the senate—a divine in the pulpit—and a lawyer at the bar, were all open to criticism; and why should not horse-jockies be equally open to animadversion, for they were public characters as much as the parties he had mentioned; and so expert were some of them, that he had no doubt the names of Buckle and Chiffney. would go down to posterity with the names of Pitt and Fox. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing, Joseph Martin was indicted for feloniously admi nistering a quantity of gin to Joseph Sweet, an in fant four years old, and thereby causing his death. Mr. Baron VAUGIIAN having suggested that there was not sufficient evidence to establish the charge against the prisoner, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner, after a suitable reprimand to be more careful in future, was then discharged. John Bennett was indicted charged with embez zling 71. the property of Messrs. Bolton and Watt, his employers. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to 14 years' transportation. Robert Prichard, aged only 12 years, was con victed of stealing out of a waggon, on the 9th of June last, at Burslem, the sum of 101. in silver, the property of Caleb Hill. He was an old offender, and was- sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and hard labour. AUGUST 6. . . A true bill has this morning been found for a conspiracy, against Joseph Stamp Sutton Cooke, Thomas Slade, G. H. Cocker, the elder and younger, Joseph Mills, Thomas Morgan, Humphrey Bailey, and - Wilks. The indictment contains eight . counts, and charges the defendants with conspiring together to disturb divers of the tenants within the borough of Stafford in the enjoyment of their pro perty, and to extort money from them by i ssu i ng writs of ejectment against them, without. any rea sonable pretence or ground whatever, and by in ducing them to attorn to Joseph Stamp Sutton Cooke, they well knowing that he has no legal claim to the property. This indictment has arisen out of the numerous writs of ejectment, upwards of 500 in number, which have been recently served upon the tenants of the borough, at the instance of Mr. Joseph Stamp Sutton Cooke, who professes to have discovered that the borough is held by tenure " Borough Eng lish," and therefore devolves .to the next brother to the rightful claimant of the barony ; and that his brother Richard being the rightful heir to the baro nial estates, he, as the next eldest, becomes entitled to the borough. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-NOTTINGHAM, Auu. 3. Michael. Bowen was indicted for assaulting• Frances Flude, with intent to violate, her person. The prosecutrix, decent-looking woman, but with slender, pretensions to beauty, and about 30 years of age, stated that she lives at Trowell with her uncle, who keeps a school. She remembered being in the prisoner's company in a public-house at Trowell, on. the 7th of June, It.wes feast time, He . ... 4,- ( 7 :: - ‘-,..1i. - ~ -- ~... . --„,-- #4._ ~.,,,....: ....v ___,,.., asked her to . aitki oval far as' Elston, at 'Aid he \ would return fher.', illid lb.- Els' a is•be tween two and }nee "InIA,. frOlilV-Tro . l. They stopped a short tiinv*:a.public-house at Elston. On the road when returning, the prisoner said he would 'have a kiss. He forced her against a gate, and en deavoured to take the grossest liberties with her person. She successfully resisted him, upon which he struck her over the head and face, and gave her a black eye, saying he would do for her if she did not submit to his wishes. He then drew her through the gate into the fields, where'he threw her down, and again endeavoured to - effect his purpose. She cried out murder, and the prisoner put hishand upon her mouth. He -- her for a fool, and told her to hold her noise. By this time Charles Beaton came to the gate, and she appealed to him for assistance. She then got away from him. Her eye v•ds black for a week, and her arm discoloured for three weeks. Cross-examined.—l had never been in the pri. soner's company before, but I had' known - him ,by' sight. It was he talked to me first. -. Another young woman and I were next him. It was_- his ; liquor.we drank. He asked me to kiss him. I cli.ti • not, but he kissed me. There were several pers.ons , present : more than ten. Elston is in the oppoiiiin direction from my heine. It was between seven and eight o'clock when we set out for Elston. I went with him to his lodgings, and went in. We stopped there five minutes, and then went to a public-house cilled the Horse-shoes. We stopped there about 20 minutes. I did just-drink with him, ,and, no,• more. On that day I had drank a table-spoonful of gin and water at the Magpie, at •Trowell; and 'at die Horse-shoes I drank .a tea-s:poonftil Of ale.. While , l was at the Horse-shoes I aSked the prisoner .to see me home, as he had said he would, vee no! safe home. He did not say that if he did, lie would • , lo so and so to me ::I - don't know that lie said "Go and be ----." I wain such confusion after wards, that I cannot recollect every thing. Nobody advised me to go home alone., • . Re-examined.—There were a man andwoman in the prisoner's lodgings whilst I was there. Charles Beaton stated, that as he and wife were coming along the road on the evening ih quest tion, he heard cries of murder half a mile off; - He made towards the spot from which they Droceeiled-, and saw the prisoner indecently assaulting a woman. Witness called out to him, and asked him what be was about ? The prisoner, in reply, stated, in the -2,rossest terms, that he had come there with, the woman for a particular purpose ' and that purpose 115 was determined to accomplish. The woman ,got Away from him, .anet complained very much of his treatment of her. Her face seemed swelled. Mr. Him, having addressed the jury for the'de fence, called the following witnesses : Benjamin Wade, a very queer looking old man, About seventy years of age, with'an immense nose, and blind °fan eye, said, I was at the Magpie pub lic-house on the 7th of June. I saw the prisoner _ _ Ind Frances Flude drinking there for two liours.— When he offered her the drink she never denied it. They were sitting very loving with 'each other.— He had his arms about her neck. I . did not see her arms. There was very hard kissing between them. She seemed' the willinger for it of the two. There were 30 or . 40 people present. As to her conduct tieing modest, she went on in .such a way that a woman who was in my company said, if she had a pin she would stick it in her.--(Great laughter.) Frances Derbyshire, the wife of a boatman, and in occasional waiter at the Horse-Shoes, at Elston, iaid, I remember the prisoner and the prosecutrix coming to our house on the . 7th of June. While there the prisoner asked the prosecutrix to kiss him. She held up he lips and did kiss him. She drank freely. The prisoner was not sober. The woman was in liquor. They remained there mita nearly eleven o'clock. He told her she was at liberty to -4.0 home, for if lie went with her, he said plainly what he would do to her. She replied that " she was not willing to go without him ; he had brought her there, and she expected him to take her back." He told her "she might go and be --." Cross-examined.—They had one quart of ale. She drank more than he did. - There were about ten other persons in the room. Instead of, being coy_ about kissing, she seemed more, milling than he was. Lord TENTERDEN summed up the case to the Jury, who, after some deliberation, returned a ver dict of Guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. • SATIJILDAY, AUG. 4. THE ICING V. JOHNSON AND OTIUERS• This was an indictment against ten young men for a riot at East Retford, during the election in June, 1826. _ _ The defendants were discharge ,. William Cotton, aged 15, was charged with kill ing' and slaying William Lenton, in the parish of St. Mary, in this town, on the Bth day of April last. Lord TE N TERDEN observed that there was no case against the prisoner, who was therefore ac quitted. Lord TENTERDEN, having cleared the calendar at 10 o'clock this morning, adjourned the Court, in order to suit-the conyeuieace of the Jury.(this being market-day), to nine o'clock on Monday. MATERNAL FFECTION.—One day, last week, as the child of a labouring man at Ickle sham, between three and four years of age, Was playing near a draw-well, nearly 30 feet ] deep, which had been left open, it unfortunately slipped from the curb and fell in. The mother, who was at no great distance, . observing the accident, rail towards the spot, and', unhoOking the bucket, immediately let the rope into the well, by which she. attempted to slide downto.the assistance of her child. She had not, hoWeVer, descended snore than half way, when the rope - broke', and the poor woman was precipitated to the bottom. Having,, miraculously, received : no injury from the fall, owing, probably, to the expansion of her clothes, she found • her child floating Upon the surface of the water. She immediately seized it, and contrived to hold it in . her arms above her head, until her cries brought soine persons to her assistance, who' speedily extricated both the mother w a sa four r her echild depth, from theirhad d r. e p c e: e r i i v l e o d u s . si tuation, the viel l neither of whom, a lth oug h th e water in material injury beyond that occasioned" by fright. —Kent Herald. . . . .. ..
