Composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other Dentrifices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate those de structive particles which adhere to the Gumsand the I n _ tuastices of the Teeth; healing injuries in the former, and promoting a new Enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums; and if regularly used will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to old age. Sold in Boxes, at 2s. 9d. by Messrs.

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 inost destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the, result of long and success ful practice, and at ow, i 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. COURTENAY, M.D., Robert-street, Adelphi.

" 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 encomiu 'us, and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who may unfortuigttely 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.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENT PRIVATE PUPIL.—A Married Clergy.: man, for some years Tutor. to a Nobleman, and sub sequently receiving Six Pupils into his house, a moderate distance from London, would be glad to fill a Vacancy with a Gentleman's Son, whose Education or Health may require more than usual attention.:--Letters addressed to the Rev. H. S.,' at Messrs. Harding and Lepard's, Book sellers, 'No. 4, Pall Mall East, London, will be duly for__ warded to him in the country. • HINDOO WIDOWS. A fresh Parliamentary Repprt has just been issued on this interesting subject, from which we extract the following most distressing and horrible case : " A girl of about 14 years of age, whose hus, band, a Brahmin, died when absent, from his family, and a fortnight after the event, her father being absent and unacquainted with what A i a i• passing, she proceeded. to burn herself on, a fu neral pile prepared .by other near relations, .and which was fired by her.uncle. She soon leaped .from the flame, and was seized, taken up by the hands and feet; and. again thrown upon it much burnt ; she again sprung from• the pile, and run ning to a well hard by, laid herself down in the water-course weeping bitterly. A sheet was then offered, and she was desired. - by her uncle to place. herself upon - it ; . she ' refused, saying; be would again carry her to the fire, and'sbe would rather quit the family and hire by beggary or any thing, if they would have mercy upon her; At length, on her uncle swearing by the Ganges, that, if she would seat herself on the cloth, he would carry her home; slie did so, was bound up in it, carried to the pile, now fiercely 'burning, `and again thrown into the flames. The wretch ed victim once more made an effort to save her self, when, at the instigation of the rest,, a Mu s , sulman approached near enough to reach 'her with his sword, and cutting. her 'through . the head, she fell back, and was rescued from further suffering by death." In the minutes of the Court of Nizamut Adawlut on this case, it appears that six persons, who had assisted at the tragedy, had been tried at. the Benares Court of Circuit, charged with murder, and it is stated, " The Court of Niza mut Adawlut having duly considered the pro ceedings held on the-trial, and the futwa of the Law Officers," which declared " all the prisoners liable to punishment for their respective shares in the crime, at the discretion of the Court, add ing, that the punishment of the two principal actors may extend to death." " The l'iizainut Adawlut concurs in the con victions, and obServes that, under the promulgated orders on the subject of_ the'suttee, the right in this instance was illegal, the widow having been a Brahmin woman proceeding to burn without the body of her husband, who was absent from her when he died, and that every species of com pulsion against the widow having been prohibited by those orders, the forcing her Nick .to the pile against her will and her entreaty'were punishable crimes. Making allowance, however, for the 'superstitious prejudices of the Hindoos con cerned, and the ignorance of the Mahomedans, the Court do not discover in any of them the guilt of murder, and viewing the case as one of culpable homicide, sentences the prisoner (Bhur rachee) to be imprisoned with labour for five years, Itoosa for three years, and Sheolal and the three other prisoners to be ,imprisoned without labour for two years:" On this most cruel and atrocious case, we ob serve that the Nizamut Adawlut was not unani mous ; the Chief Judge, Mr. W. Leycester, thought that two of the prisoners, Bhurrachee and Sheolal, should suffer death, and the others be confined for life ; and he added, " I do not see how we could be justified in passing any other sentence ; as the case, however, is quite new, it is desirable that the case should go before another Judge." The second Judge,. Mr. Courtney Smith, dif fered " entirely from the first Judge, being de cidedly of opinion that none of the prisoners should be sentenced capitally, or even to per petual imprisonment ;" in support of which opinion he argues forcibly and at considerable l e ngth, and the most remarkable part of his minute. we shall here state, as it is very nearly conneeted, and for the most part concurrent with that view of the subject in which this dispatch has origi nated. The part of the minute of the second Judge to which we allude is.the " The suttee was irregular, inasmuch as the police officer was not there, and as the widow ( a Braminee) burnt without the corpse of her hus band ; but frequent irregularities occur in this detestable practice, yet no one has ever yet been hanged for it, or even punished, that I can re= collect, by temporary imprisonment for a misde meanour. " Our Government, by modifying the thing, and issuing orders about it—orderS which even the Government and the Sudder Judges them selves do not appear clearly to comprehend-- have thrown the ideas of the Hindoos upon the subject into a complete state of confusion. They 'know not what is allowed, and what interdicted, but, upon the whole, they have a persuasion that our Government, whom they most erroneously suppose to be indifferent about the lives of the natives, are rather favourable to suttees than otherwise. They will then believe that we ab hor the usage, when we prohibit it in toto, by an absolute and peremptory law. They have no idea that we might not do so with the most per fect safety ; they conceive our power and our will to be co mmensurate." " That a suttee; in the outset voluntary, shall be deemed murder in those conducting it, if they force the widow upon the pile from which she escaped, I do not find positively declared in any of the instructions promulgated through this Court, nor do I know whether by the Shaster it is legal or illegal ; for in all the rules that have been issued, the Shaster is quoted as the autho rity ; the essence of the rule is, that if the suttee be according to the Shaster it is lawful, if not it is criminal ; with this declaration f rom th e su preme court of authority, I do not see h ow a Hintloo can in common sense, or common equity, be made amenable to the Mahomedan law for the offence." LATE ACCIDENT ON HOUNSLOW HEATH. —On Saturday, an inquest was held on view of the remains of the two men who lost their lives on Thursday by the explosion of the powder mills belonging to Messrs. Curtis and. Harvey. The Jury returned a verdict of « Accidental Death." G, AUGUST 28, 1827. PUBLIC DINNER. TO DANIEL O'CON- NELL, ESQ. IN GALWAY.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. 1 PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 2.5.—:-On Monday, Rear " Admiral Count Hayden sailed for the island of Milo Kin the Greek Archipelago) with the Russian, ships lof war Azoff, Hargood, Ezekiel, and Alexander 'Newski, of the line; Helena, Constantine, Prevor nie, and Kruser frigates, and Gremchchie corvette. Yesterday morning Admiral Sineavin and Vice- Admiral Lidochin sailed, on their return to Cron istadt,. with the St. Andrew, Vladirner, Czar Con- Istantine, and Sisoy, of the line ; Diana, Mercurius, ;Castor, and Emanuel frigates. Admiral Sineavin ;saluted the flag of our Commander-in-Chief on his leaving the port, in the St. Andrew, 74, which was returned with an equal number of guns by his Ma jesty's ship Victory. Orders were received, on Tuesday, for the Wel lesley, 74, Captain Fred. L. Maitland, C. 8., and the iWarspite, 74, Captain Hon. Robert S. Dundas, to proceed to Lisbon. The Wellesley went out of har hour en Thursday ; and this day both ship's were paid wages, preparatory to sailing to-morrow morn ing. They are supposed 'to . be intended to supply 'the place of the Genoa and Albion, which. have left the Tagus for the Mediterranean. They are not fully manned, having each Only 4.50 men. On Thursday afternoon, the Duke of York steamer, Captain Mowll, returned to this port with passen gers; left Gibraltar on the 11th, Cadiz the 12th, and Lisbon the 16th instant, having had contrary winds almost all the passage. The Albion, Genoa, and Dartmouth, had passed Gibraltar, for Malta; the Dryad was passed in the Bay of Biscay, bound 'thither. There were four French ships of war at ,Cadiz—two frigates and two brigs. All was quiet there; no news from Catalonia. The Spartiate, .Pyramus, and two tenders, were left in the Tagus. There - was a general expectation at Lisbon, that the Emperor Dog ,Pedro would shortly arrive there froth the Brazils, and that his presence would tend greatly to allay the party feuds which now distract the pro ceedings of, the-Government and the country. The Duke of Yo •k brought a cargo of wine, oranges, and lg . bales Valencia silk. The improvement in the appearance of the Rus sian ships, and their bettered internal comforts and arrangements, compared with what they were some fifteen or twenty years ago, are no doubt to be at tributed, in a good degree, to the insight which many of the officers now in command obtained in our service. Captain Lazaroff, the flag Captain of the St. Andrew, was five years in the British Navy, as a volunteer under Captain F. L. Maitland. Four intelligent Russian gentlemen are now ordered to be received into our Dock Yard, and educated in the School of Naval Architecture ; four others are to be instructed in the art and practice of rigging ships; and four are to be taught the English method of performing shipwright's work. This morning the American brig Bolivar Libera tor, laden with coffee, arrived at Cowes fr om Port au-Prince, for a market. This vessel left St. Do mingo on the 17th July. The public feeling con tinued considerably excited against the President Boyer, for the arrangement he made with the French Government, by which the island of St. Domingo is oppressed with a considerable debt, as the price of its independence. A portion of this debt is to be paid in coffee; in consequence, this article had become scarce and dear in the market, a ship from Brest, of 800 tons burden, having arrived for part of it. A conspiracy against the life of 'Boyer was discovered a few days before the sailing of this vessel, and a Captain, two Lieutenants, and a Serjeant of one of his regiments were shot on the 9th of July for being concerned therein. The Island was very considerably improved, and agriculture is encouraged by the President's Government. A brisk trade is carried on with the Americans and French, and pro duce, consequently, was at high prices. Boyer keeps his army up to its full strength; his navy he appears careless about, not having more than six armed schooners. The Experimental Squadron of nine sail was seen lying to within four leagues off Ushant, last Sa turday. The Espoir, 10, Captain H. F. Greville, sailed this morning for the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius, taking dispatches and about 70,000/, in new silver coinage, for circulation in these Colonies. The Tweed, 28, Captain Lord H. J. S. Churchill, will proceed to the same station in a few days, to relieve the Samarang.—Commodore Wm. Skipsey will sail from England in about two months, to suc ceed Commodore Christian, C. B. in the command. — The Zenobia, Douglas, embarked passengers to-day, and sailed for Calcutta; the Orient, White, will sail on Monday, •for Madras mid Calcutta; and the Tyne, Cotgrave, for Bombay, in a few days. NEW G UN CARRIAGE.--We underst and that a very 'favourable report has been mad e res p ectin g th e new gun carr i age , l ate ly invented by Captain Mar shall, of the Royal Navy. It has been tried repeat edly on board his Majesty's ship Galatea, under the inspection of that distinguished officer, Sir Thomas Hardy , and has been fou nd g reatl y su p eri or to the common gun carriages, in facil i ty and rapidity of training and firing, as well as in allowing a great traversin g of about a point each way, fore and aft.— An 18 -pounder, mounted on this carriage, it is said, may be worked more quickly, and with greater effect, than, if mounted on the usual plan, it could be by ten men. We are glad to be enabled to no tice an invention of this kind, which, from its im portance to his Majesty's naval service, cannot be too highly appreciated. An official memorandum has been just issued from the Admiralty, granting permission to the First Lieutenants of the Royal Marines, whose commis sions are dated prior to 1812, to go on half-pay, with the unattached rank of Captain, a t five shil lings a day , and to be called int o act i ve serv i ce as vacancies occur in the full pay list.

(From the Preston Pilot.) On Saturday evening la,st, .about half-past six o'clock, the neighbourhood of Hall Moor End, in Claughton, near Garstang, was thrown into the highest degree of excitement by the terrifying report that a wife had been just murdered, and that the guilty wretch was her husband. A sur geon, Mr. Bell, of Garstang, was sent for, and the fact of the poor woman's death was too truly = life having been. for some time extinct proved before that gentleman's arrival. The name of the person charged with being the principal actor in the dark tragedy is Willi a m Robinson ; that of the deceased, Helen Robinson. On Sunday morning, at an early hour, John Gardner, Esq., Coroner, and a very respectable Airy, were in waiting at the Brockhole's Arms inn, •when the following facts were sworn to : Helen Pimlow knew the prisoner, William 'Robinson, and the deceased, Helen Robinson. At about six o'clock on Saturday evening, de ceased was at witness's house, when the prisoner came past, and made some indifferent observa tion ; shortly after deceased left to go home, and observed; that she was then going to be killed by her husband. Witness desired her to remain, when the deceased replied, he will kill me sooner or later ; perhaps, the sooner the better.- De. ceased then went home. Betty Pimlow had resided in the house of the prisoner for a short time as an assistant, the de ceased having been in bad health. The prisoner came home a little before six on Saturday even- . ing, the deceased soon after. Very abusive lan 'page was used by the prisoner to the deceased, when the latter directly Went up stairs. Soon after. the prisoner followed, when a scuffling noise was heard up stairs. The prisoner afterwards came down stairs, and went to milk a cow. He had not been long out, when witness went part of the way up the stairs, sufficiently high to see that the deceased was placed in a chair, with her head against the, wall. At about half-past six the prisoner came back from milking," and went directly up stairs. Was up a minute or two, during which time she heard something removed 'over the floor. Prisoner then called out " Betty, ;Betty, Helen has fallen in a fit, and hurt her self. Witness went up stairs, and perceived that deceased had been moved so as to occasion her head to be hanging over the board at the foot of the bed. Prisoner then requested her to call in some of the neighbours, when -witness called in Ellen Ormond and Grace Lambert. Witness then remained down stairs, and prisoner came to her, saying that the women (the neigh bours called in) say I have murdered Helen.— He then took witness into the pantry, and said, " I have such a weight at my heart, I can find no rest ;" and. added, " Now, Betty, thou must stand my friend; and say nought about it,"— meaning, as the witness understood, the murder with which the prisoner had just been charged. •--4 A little before the conclusion of this wit ness's examination, the Coroner adjourned the inquest till four o'clock in the afternoon, in or der that the surgeons' report might be by that time ready.) Ellen Ormond and Grace Lambert stated that they were called in by the last witness, between half-past six and seven o'clock on the Saturday evening, and the prisoner told them his wife had fallen into a fit and hurt herself ; and that when they raised the head they perceived that a serious blow had been received by the deceased on the left temple ; on seeing which, they observed, " This William, is the work of thy hands !". David Barr had resided in the house of the prisoner a fortnight. Had heard deceased ex press her fears that her husband would one day or other kill her. Was in the house on Satur day evening, when prisoner came in. Heard prisoner say, before he went up stairs, "1 will make thee as thou can neither walk nor talk." Mr. W. Bell, surgeon, resides at Garstang. Was sent for to deceased on Saturday evening between seven and eight o'clock, and arrived a little after eight. Deceased was then dead. Examined the body this morning, along with, Mr. Smith, surgeon, of Garstang, and found' that the deceased had been wounded with some blunt instrument on the left temple. She had also received another blow on the left eye, and one below ; also one on the breech, probably a kick. I also perceived on the right side of the neck a discolouration of the flesh, with evi dent marks of a pressure sufficient in my opinion to cause strangulation and death. Mr. Smith: surgeon, confirmed the whole 01 ,the last examinant's evidence. The prisoner was asked at the conclusion of each witness's testimony if he had any questions to put, but he declined in every instance, except in questioning Betty Pimlow as to the truth of the expression respecting the weight which she stated he had confessed that he felt at his heart, which he denied. The Jury found their verdict of Wilful Mur der against Wm. Robinson. The Coroner then immediately prepared his warrant of commitment, and shortly after the prisoner was taken to Lancaster Castle. We doubt if there was ever in the memory of man so much corn secured in Yorkshire, in the same time, as has been housed during the pre sent week. Before the unsettled weather, which commenced about a fortnight ago, a considerable quantity of grain was reaped, and waited only for a few fine days to be removed from the fields to the stack-yard ; all this has now disappeared, in addition to a great quantity of other grain which had become quite ready for the sickle. Some injury has doubtless been sustained from the rain, both by the standing grain and that which was cut, and last Tuesday, in the forenoon, the pros pects for the harvest seemed so gloomy, that Wheat advanced in the Leeds market from 3s. t o 4s. a quarter, partly from exaggerated rumours of sprouted corn. In the afternoon of that day, the weather, answering to the barometer, which had been gradually rising for the four preceding days, cleared up, and since that time to the pre. sent; we have had scarcely a drop , of rain. The harvest moon came in very auspiciously on Wed nesday, and Thursday was one of the most glo rious days we ever beheld. We have no hesita tion in saying, that the timely change in the weather has added many millions of pounds ster ling to the real wealth of the country.—Leeds Mercury. This was an indictment against the prisoner un der the last Bankrupt Act.' The prisoner had been a partner with Nathaniel Cavenagh and Henry Browne, in a banking-house in Northgate-street, Bath, and in Sept. 1825, had become.bankrupt, and the indictment now preferred against him charged him with having, at a meeting in July, 1826, held undei a renewed commission issued in May in that year, failed to disclose in his balance sheet various kinds of property to which he was entitled at. the moment, or in which he had a reversionary interest; and he was further charged with having concealed divers sums of money then in his possession. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. The only case on the civil side was, an information in the nature of a quo warranto, the object of which was, to determine whether the election of a Mayor and Burgess had been made according to the forms required by the laws of the Corporation. A verdict was taken for the Crown, subject to the opinion of the Court or King's Bench on the points in discus sion, which were purely of a legal nature. This case terminated the business of . the Assizes here. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—CARLISLE, Acc. 23. SKAIFE AND OTHERS AOAINST SKAIFE. • This was an issue directed by the Court of Chan cery, to try the validity of several wills made by Robert Skaife, of Cross Cannonbk, but the princi pal question turned upon the validity of a will made on the 24th of March, 1825,' the daybefore the testator's death, by which legacies *amounting to 3,620/. were charged upon the testator's customary copyhold at Birkby Lodge, which was devised to the heir-at-law: To set aside-this will, for the purl pose of getting rid of the charge of the legacies, the heir-at-law had instituted proceedings in Chancery, which Court directed this issue of devisavit vel non,, wherein the heir-at-law was made defendant. After a long, but uninteresting trial, the jury found a ver dict for the - plaintiff, establishing the will. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--HEREFORD, AvG. 24. fucKiat V. I'M"); PREzcz, Bce. Mr.WHATELEY opened the pleadings, stating that this was an action to ascertain whether the defendant was entitled to a certain right of way which he claim ed through the property of the plaintiff: The de fendant was the purchaser of an estate from i'..ord Ox ford, part of which consisted of a wood known the name of Brand-hill-wood, and was situate on the sum mit of a precipice 4 miles from Presteign,in this county, The plaintiff is a barrister, and the owne: of certain' woods, situate on the same hill, below the defend-• ant's wood, and known by the names of Combe wood and Hope's-wood. The defendant having cut down his wood and dragged the timber and cuttings thereof through the plaintiff's " wood, the present action was to try whether he was fatitled to that right of way. The defendant had pleated an im memorial right of way to drag the produce of his , woods, when cut, through the plaintiff's ; and it would be for the jury to determine, on the evidence that would be offered to them, whether that right could be established. Mr. CAMPBELL (with whom was Mr. WHIT comBE) for the defendants, stated that the real ques tion in this case was, whether the defendant was by prescription entitled to convey or haul trees through the plaintiff's woods along certain roads or courses called racks, immemorially used for that purpose ; and as it was evidently impossible for the defendant to convey away the produce of his land by any other means there could be no doubt the Ivey in dispute was a way of necessity, which had been immemorially used, and admitted to be used, for that purpose, the woods originally having belonged to one person. The defendant would be unable to produce any' deeds in support of that right, but that was imma terial, as where a custom had been exercised for a considerable period, the law presumed that it origi nated in some deed or grant which had been lost or destroyed through the lapse of time. He under stood that it was intended to contend, that only a qualified right existed—viz., that none of the produce of Brand-hill should be conveyed through Combe-wood or Hope's-wood, while any timber of twelve years' growth was standing there; but he (Mr. Campbell) was prepared to maintain, that if the defendant was entitled to any right of way, through the plaintiff's premises, it was an unqualified right of way, suchas the:necessity of the case demanded. Another objection which be believed would be raised was, that the defendant was not entitled to convey, any timber from his wood through the plaintiff's property exceeding 30 years' growth. So that trees that had attained the age of 29 years, 11 months, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, might be so removed; but the instant the clock struck, terminat ing the 30th year, the defendant could not venture to cut his own trees, because he could not, when • cut, carry them away. Several witnesses were then called, who proved the right of way to convey the produce of Brand hill-wood through the plaintiff's property. On cross-examination, they admitted that -they were not aware of any timber trees having been cut in Brand-hill-wood. Mr. CunwooD, who led for the plaintiff, sub mitted that he was entitled to a verdict, as the pre scription was laid as a right to convey trees, &c., through th e plaintiff's premises, and that had not been proved; for by the evidence it appeared, that underwood only had been permitted to pass; and it was obvious, if large trees were removed that way, they would greatly injure the plaintiff's woods. Mr. WHATELEY followed on the same side, con. tending, that prescription meant immemorial usage as far back as living memory would go. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having recapitulated the evidence, the Jury found a special verdict—viz., that an immemorial right of way existed for the de fendant to convey the produce of his land through the property of the plaintiff, The Herring Fishing on the Sutherland and Caithness coast, did not prove so successful during last week as it did at the, commencement of the season ; the strong north► easterly winds, having kept the boats for the greater part of the time in port. It is to be hoped that during the present, and following week, which will termi nate the fishing in that quarter, the enterprising persons engaged in it will be able to make up for the serious defal cation which has taken place . in their takes of fish.—lnver nets Courier. THE HARVEST.—After a week of cold and uncomfortable weather, which somewhat retarded the ripening of the grain, the weather set-in uncommonly fine. on Sunday last, and continues highly favourable for the" harvest operations, which are now proceeding under the most propitious circumstances. Reaping is rapidly going on every where around us ; and if Providence blesses us with a continuance of such weather as we now enjoy for three weeks more, we may calculate that the greater part of the crop will be secured.

DEATH BY Porsorr.--On Thursday last, about noon, a young lady of the name of Bradley, sister of M rs .

Immediately after drink ing th e porter, she complained to her sister of sickness, and had scarcely got into the kitchen before she fell down and almost instantly expired ! On analyzing the remainder of the porter in the bottle, it was found to contain a mixture of that most deadly poison called prussic acid, and one of the servants in the house, who afterwards took a small quantity of the , same beverage, became extremely ill, but she bas since recovered. It is remarkable that other bottles o f porter taken out of the same blurt are perfectly free from all deleterious admixture.
