This system has been pronounced by the Edinburgh Review for June, 1826, one of the most useful and im portant discoveries of the age.

It pos. sesses innumerable blessings for kunian kind, and produces an antidote for every disorder incident to the human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable riches, is the proper study of Medical Science ; mad it requires the most laborious research to discover and develops all its various mysteries. For twenty years has our successful experience been directed to the treatment of a certain class of disorders, and we pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its in cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much-neglected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully and studiously eensidered, as have else these delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyraany of a tropieal atmos phere—the natural bias of eenstitution—the imprudence of gaity—er the mere alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by a gradual dereliction if the animal powers.

By SOUTHWOOD SMITH, M.D. Physician to the London Fever Hospital. " For simplicity of arrangement, perspicuity of view, power of argument, and practical deduction, this Treatise on Fever stands, we believe, without competition, at the head of all that has been written upon this abstruse disease. The relation between cause and effect, between symptoms and the states they indicate, was never before so clearly pointed out; the theory of fever is laid down with unpre cedented plausibility; and the variety of eases and dissec tions which are given, may furnish him who questions the conclusions which are drawn, with ample materials to construct inferences of his own."—Westminster Review for January 1830.

On Thursday evening a Meeting of the Chemists and Druggists of London was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of tak ing into consideration the necessity of adopting some means to protect the trade against misconstructions of the Stamp Act, and to institute a Society to pro tect the trade generally. 'I he Meeting was but thinly attended. Mr. MIDOLEY was called upon to take the Chair; and, on doing so, said that in consequence of the numerous prosecutions which had been commenced by the Commissioners of Stamps against the trade, it had been necessary to call the Meeting. The SECRETARY stated that, owing to the short time that had elapsed since it was resolved to call the Meeting, sufficient publicity had not been given to it. As, however, there were notices of nearly four thousand prosecutions out, it was deemed of importance to call the Meeting without delay. Dr. REECE observed that the Commissioners of Stamps, as well as th►e trade, were anxious that the Act relative to patent medicines should be fully un derstood. At present some parties considered arti cles liable to the Stamp-duty, while others did not; and the trade, in consequence, were liable to great hardships. He went over many articles in the sche-, dule annexedito the Stamp Act for the sale of Patent Medicines, and said many of the articles ought not to be charged. lie referred particularly to the car bonate of soda and tartaric acid, the sale of which rendered chemists and druggists liable to fine, such articles being used to make soda water. He then referred to the Society established fifteen years since, for the protection of the trade, and had no doubt but that the Standing Committee would allow the funds and accumulations (nearly 5001.) to be em ployed now to protect the trade from the prosecu tions, and to form a Society. The trade were anxious to act fairly between the Actand the public, fearing, as they did, any Exchequer process. He moved a resolution that a Committee be appointed to confer with the Standing Committee of 1815 on the steps to be adopted. After a desultory conversation, in which many gentlemen spoke of the severity of the laws, the resolution was adopted, and a verbal recommenda tion given to the Committee how they should pro ceed. 'The Meeting then adjourned. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (Front the New London Pelee Current of yesterday). SUGAR.-The demand for Mucovades has considerably improved this week, and there is a firmness about the Market we have not experienced for several weeks past ; the estimated sales this week are nearly 3,000 hhds. and tees. The Refined Trade has been rather improving this week in the demand, but the prices are without alteration ; the contracts for goods, deliverable a few weeks hence, have been on an extensive scale at full prices; Molasses are heavy, and 6d. lower. Notwithstanding the dull season, and the interruption of the navigation, the Refiners are at full work, and the Market nearly cleared of low goods. The contracts for goods deliverable six weeks anti two months hence are very considerable. Same put - chases of crushed are also reported. Molasses dull. FoREIOX SUGAR.—There is a small stock of good Foreign Sugar in this Market ; the inquiries are conti nued, and on the opening of the navigation a good de mand is anticipated. The only sale this week is a parcel of 50 casks Porto Rico 19s. a 225. low brown to good yellow. EAST INDIA SUGAR.-There are inquiries after Mau ritius Sugars, but there are fsw parcels offering; it is pro bable the first arrivals of coloury Sugars will meet a ready sale. 'I he advance of 2s. on Bengal Sugar is maintained, but there are few sales. A small parcel Manilla Sugars sold 6d. to ls. advance on the last public sale. COFFEE.—There have been no public sales of Coffee this week, and the purchases by private contract are limited to small parcels to the Grocers fur the home consumption ; no alteration in the prices can be stated. It is reported a parcel of good ord. Brasil has been bought by private con tract at 325. 6d. By public sale this forenoon 160 casks and 66 bags, chiefly Demerara and Berbice, of good quality; two lots good ord. Jamaica sold at 345. 6d. a PItICE OF CANDLES. The price of Store Candles, in the retail shops ' is as follows : Candles. per doz. Ss. Od. to Os. Od. I Moulds, per dozen .........9s. ticl. 361. ; the Berbice sold at full prices, the best lots 71s. 6d. The Coffee Market to-day has a firm appearance. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum market is steady but there are few purchases to report ; they are confined to small pat eels of Leewards, and a few fine Jamaica; the market is apparently more firm. The pur chases of Brandy are confined to a few parcels of low marks for export. There is more inquiry for Geneva. HEM?, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—.The Tallow market is very steady, but the demand is languid. on account of the large supply of Town Tallow. In Hemp or Flax there is little variation. Letters from St. Petersburgh are dated 16th ult. Exchange 10id. Tallow 90 sellers. Frost 10 degrees. _ _ Tons cco.—The purchases of Tobacco are still confined ;o small parcels to the trade. SALTPETB.K.-Saltpetre is without alteration. COTTON.-Theacct;untH from Liverpool and from M in chester are favourable, both for raw cotton and for Manu factured Good., and there is a corresponding improvement in the market here ; the prices are a shade higher. The estimated sales for the week ending List night, inclusive, consists of 3,260 Surats, at Sid. a sd. Rtes.—Rice continues very depressed. The holders still anxious to sell. Sricas.—There is more inquiry after Pepper ; other Spices are neglected: Fine Pimento 6d. a did. 'Figs.—There is little inquiry for some breaks of Twan kay at a fraction of premium, but the operations in the Market continue to be limited. Itsuro.—There are no sales of Indigo worth reporting. The accounts from Calcutta of the 341 of August, stating the injury to the crop, occasioned more firmness, but this effect is apparently passing away. The quantity at the India House for next sale is expected to exceed 6,000 chests. IRISH PROVISIONS.-Beet and Pork are little varied. Butters are held for the advance of 29. a 4a., on account of the severe weather. BJeon little varied. Asnes.—By public sale this day, 47 brls. Canada Pot Ashes Ist 38s. 9d. ; 24 brls. Pearl Ashes Ist 395. 3d. Faurr.—There has been scarcely any thing done this week, and consequently no alteration i❑ prices has taken place.

THE WEATHER.—The severe frost which has prevailed in this neighbourhood during the last ten days is general throughout the country; hut the fr t ll.4 snow have been rather severer in the south than in York shire. Almost all the canals in the sputh ale frozen up, and the mails cannot kelp, time. The delivery at Leeds post-office, last evening, was an hour later than usual,-.L. Leeds In telligen eer. On Monday last was committed to our county gaol, by the Rev. T. R. Bromfield, Henry Collier, charged with having, on the preceding Ssturda►, ► robbed and violated the person of Amelia Mar.- and attempted to murder her. Jas. Thatcher (Collier's master) was committed .the same day to the House of Correction, charged with thing an accessory before the fact. It appears that this vic tim of brutality, who is a young married woman, about 23 years of age, attended Banbury fair with her husband on the Thursday preceding, and that the latter having disposed of the whole of his stock, consisting of Sheffield goods, lrft Banbury for the purpose of returning to Sheffield, on Friday. 8,- fore his departure he agreed that his 'Wife should • follow him to Warwick in the cart of Thatcher, another travelling hawker, on the following day. Accordingly, early the next morning Amelia Mar shall, in company with Thatcher and his wife, and the prisoner Collier, set out on their way to War wick. On getting within a short distance of Lad brook, they met an elderly man on the road, whom Collier accosted as his uncle; and on the party pro ceeding a little farther on, he said to the uncle, "These women have robbed you," to which the old man replied, " that he knew they had." Notwlth standing both of the women solemnly declared their innocence, they persisted in the charge of robbeTT till they got to Southam, where the two fetnalrs were Riven into the custody of a constable, and taken before the Rev. Mr. Bromfield, who, on hear ing the evidence of Collier and his uncle in suppoit of the charge, thgught it so extremely unsatisfactory, that he ordered both the women instantly to bc set at liberty. On returning t o Southern, the woman Marshall separated from the rest of her compa nions, and proceeded on the road to IVarwich, but was closely followed by the prisoner Collier. When they had got about half a mile from the town, he with many imprecations demanded her money, and on her not instantly complying with his demand, drew a poker, which he had hitherto concealed under his trousers, and struck her with great violence on the head. He struck her several blows, and in the conflict the poker broke. A severe struggle ensued, and she had nearly obtained a mastery over her hintal as sailant, when she sunk to the ground from loss of blood. After violating her person, he robbed her of some money and a penknife, and with the latter instrument proceeded to inflict upon her head, face, breast, and other parts of her person, a variety of wounds. At this moment, the trampling a horses on the road was heard at a distance, and the unna tural monster taking alarm, fled with the greatest precipitation towards Southam. The poor woman, as soon as she had recovered herself, although covered with blood, issuing from the wounds she 11. A re ceived, instantly followed in the same direction, and on reaching the town proceeded to the surgery of Mr. H. L. Smith, where she received every assist ance which skill and humanity could afford. Mar shall related the circumstances of this atrocious affair to that gentleman, who instantly gave the ne cessary information to the constables of the place, and Collier and Thatcher were soon alms :oda ap prehended in a public-house, where the blood-stained marks on the dress of the former had already given rise to the most ten ible suspicions. The poor woman still remains in a very precarious state, Ina from some favourable appearances in the woun Is, hopes are entertained of her recovery. Marsi:sfl, at the time of the robbery, had about her a 101. cln , que, and 3S sovereigns, which had escaped the search of the prisoner Collier. It appears that the piker with which the villain commenced his bru , al assault on his unoffending victim, was stolen from a public house in Southam, during the short time they stopped there. lhe post-boys (the trampling of whose horses had providentially prevented the ruffian from completing his diabolical object of depriving his victim of life) picked up her bonnet near the spot where the horrid event occurred, and brought it with them to Southam. \Ve understand they were on their return from 'Warwick Castle, to which place they had that afternoon conveyed the Earl and Countess of Warwick and suite.—Cottreby Observer. The navigation of the Thames may be con sidered closed. The pilots refuse to take charge of any ships on account of the danger from the masses of floating ice. On Saturday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a female, apparently between and 20 years of age, was observed pacing along the margin of the river in the green at Glasgow in a rather thoughtful mood, when, all of a sudden, she threw her mantle into the hands of two little boys who were passing, sprung into the water, and sunk to the bottom. Information of the circumstance was immediately transmitted to Mr. Downie, keeper f the Humane Society-house, who hastened to the spot. and, with considerable exertion, succeeded in recovering the body in about half an hour. It has since been claimed. The deceased was servant with a family in Great Hamilton street, but no cause kas yet been aesigied for the committal of the suicide.— Glasgow Chronicle. On Wednesday, shortly after noon, as TIMS. WlLlctlte, of Gedling, was coining along Old Glasshouse,. lase, driving an au laden with panniers, he was observed all at once to make a violent attack on • young woman, walking beside him, and to beat her moat loutally with a heavy stick which lie had in kis hand. After a short intermission he again assailed her, when Mr. IbtA ens- LET, druggist, who witnessed the transaction, hastened ■p, and wrenching the ►tick from his hand, asked him the meaning of such barbarity. " She is my daughter," said he, and In the language of a celebrated hereditary legislator of the county, added, " Have I nut a. vi ht to do as I please with my own ?"

Thus the mil pretty active communications which steamers and lighters carried on between 'Havre and Rouen are about to beco74 suspended for a long time undoubtedly, whilst the rr a ids, which. were flooded by the rale, are now covered with ice, and make land carriage almost impossible. It is supposed that this port, which is already deprived of ar rivals by the continuance of eamtetly winds. will shortly be rendered completely inactive. The letters from the de. partments announce uniformly delay of twelve, twenty four, and forty-eight boom, to the arrival of the mails and diligence', oecasinne,d by the snow, which newt every road.

It is a very common expression, that such a one is very good-natured, but very passionate, The expression, in. deed, is very good-natured, to allow passionate people so much quarter. But I think a passionate man deserves the least indulgence of any, it is said, it is soon over : that is, all the znischiai he does is quickly despatched, which I think is v,a great recotnmendation to favour. I have kne, , ,xn one 'of these good-natured passionate men say in a mixed company, even to his own wife or child * such things as the most invoterate enemies of his family would not have spoken, even in imagination. It is certain that quick seutihillty is inseparable from a ready understanding; hut why should not that good understanding call to itself all its forces on such occasions, to utaster that sadden in clination to angel ?
