LONDON, - THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1830 — We are assured, upon authority that cannot deceive us, that Sir GILBERT BLANE has with atawn his name from the list of his MAJESTY'S medical officers. The public will probably be !eft to conjecture the motives of this step ;—but , what has already transpired, there can be 1141 e difficulty in assigning the true reason. If report speak true, however, the degradation this aged awl respected physician has suffered from the office he held under his late MAJESTY, and that he held in the household of his present MAJEsTY, when Duke of CLARENCE, is not the m:b O nl Ali y so of his r e ti reme nt,—had the place 04 een assigned hi m b y hi s M AJESTY , h e , is all probability silently have acquiesced In 4 11 4 decision. It is currently reported and "shoved that his MAJESTY, anxious to spew his regard for a great branch of the public ser vice, in which Sir GILBERT has so long been distinguished, directed his name to be placed at the head of the medical part of the household. How then .came it to occupy any other station ? Perhaps those who benefitted by the change can give the explanation. We shall return to this subject. It is amusing to tee the way in which the Ex- Icing 'of PRANCE and his Ministers talk of the late ordinances. By their different conversations .Pkthe subject, reports of which have been scat. tered.through the French and English Journals for the last ten days 'or a fortnight, it seems that the:whole fraternity are as innocent as lambs of AS obnoxious ordinances in question. CHARLES ~the Tenth vows and protests that he bud no la; d in the business ; Prince POLIGNAC asserts 'that it was absolutely forced upon him ; the 4 1 chesses D'ANGOULEME and DE BERRI, both iß , .equally decided terms, declare that they ere averse to the promulgation of the decrees from the first moment to the last. Not a soul, • I n short, neither KING nor Ministers, are guilty .having suggested the ordinances. They must, theref ore , h ave suggeste d t h emse l ves. HOW absurdly puerile is this evasion on the Part of men who presumed to wield the des tinies of one of the noblest nations on earth ! now like the conduct of school-boys who, when !ailed up to answer for some peccadillo that has been.committed anonymously, are sure, one and slls to reply.that th ey are i nnocent .

The Lisbon Gazette, of the 9th of August, gives from the Moniteur, of 26th July, the Report of the French Minister to CHARLES K., and the three ordinances abolishing the Liberty of the Press, dissolving the Chamber of Depu ties, and changing the mode of Election, at full length, and without any comment. Thefive captured vessels, which arrived in 19 days from the island of St. Michael, are the following : The English brigantine Amelia, with two passengers, vis., the Captain of the brigantine, and a servant. The English brigantine Margaret, with six passengers, viz., the Captain, four of Ilia crew, and Joso Pedro de Miranda, a merchant of Hamburg, who acted as supercargo of the vmel when it was taken. The English schooner St. lidena, with nine passen gers, viz., the captain and eight of the crew and passen gers, that were on board the schooner when it was taken. The English brigantine Velocity, three passengers, viz., a Lieutenant of the Army, the Captain of the brigantine, and a servant. The American schooner Ann, with two passengers and a servant. The Santa Antonio Feliz, a Portuguese yacht, arrived on the 11th August from Oporto, at the tower of St. Julian, with twenty-four con demned prisoners, who have been lodged in the casemates of that tower. The Lisbon Gazettes, to 12th August inclu sive, contain nothing but extracts from French and English Journals. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning : CORFU, Ana. s.—The Grand Vizier has arrived at Monastia, on the frontiers of Albania, with 10,000 regu lar troops. He has detached the Pacha of Scutati from the league to which he had acceded, merely from his re gard for Selictar Poda, a brave and able chief. The Grand Vizier has married his second son to the daughter of the Pacha of Scutari. The Albanian Captains, alarmed by the loss of so powerful an ally, who has now joined their adversary, have submitted, and are proceeding to the places assigned them by the Grand Vizier: Those, there fore, who were lately in a state of insurrection new de clare for peace and obedience. But for the submis sion of the Pacha of Scutari and Selictar Poda, Albania would have been lost to the Porte. The celebrated Nikitus was killed by a musket shot in endeavouring,to quell the riots which had broken out among the Mainots on account of the taxes, The President of Greece has intimated to General Church to quit the territory of the new state. Commercial letters from Alexandria announce the death of the Viceroy of Egypt. BERLIN, Ana. 12.—The account I gave on the Bth, respecting the reviews in the Rhenish provinces, requires soma correction, as they will take place as usual, but that first not the. King, but Prince William, his Majesty's son, will be ;present it them ; and eteondly, Abet :the pr risons of the frontier fo r t r e sses w ill t a k e no part in them. This seems to he the best mode of pro ceeding in the present state of France. If we had a really official, journal, it would doubtless have already contradicted what the French journals have invented re specting Prussian military preparations and alliances. It is affirmed on good authority, that official declarations have been received here from London, stating that Eng land will not interfere in the internal affairs of France, unless the French should think of passing their own fron tier:, : this is, doubtless, the principle on which our Go verntnent will also net. Our State. Gazette continues to give the news from Paris with extreme rapidity. This haste is commendable, and indeed necessary, as it obviates the ef fects of any false news spread on 'Change, which might pre judice the merchants, and even private individuals. I intend, as soon as the horizon shall be a little more clear, to givean account of the great impression the late unexpected revo lution in the midst of tranquillity and peace has made here. Our Exchange is still greatly agitated, and our foreign Funds fluent ite considerably. Letters from Paris brought yesterday news from Spain, which caused Spanish Stock (Agisados) to fall to 50. VIENNA, Auo. 14.—Metalliques, 99; Four per Cents. 931. ; Bank Shares, 12 99. HAMBURG, Aua. 15.—The revolutionary mania seems to have spread even to this city, at least it manifests itself in various ways in the coffee-houses on the JungfOirsteig (Ladies'-walk), for instance, by the eternal repetition of the long-forgotten " Mursellois Hymn," which (and not always at the desire of French merchants' clerks) must be played from morning till night. The lilies on the sign of a French hair-dresser have been painted over, and the three colours are seen here and there in places and on per sons where one would not look for them. The Cassel Gazette of the 15th says, that the Elector had so far recovered of the effects of the two apoplectic fits which lie had at Carlsbad, that there was reason to expect his speedy recovery. The Electoral Prince passed through Normandy on the 17th, on his way to Bohemia. Alla. 18.—Exchange on London, 149 i. CHAMBER', AUG. M.—Last Sunday their Majesties our august Sovereigns, honoured the theatre of this city with their presence, and were received with the most joy ful acclamations. Yesterday their Majesties having re- ceived the compliments of the military and civil officers, &e. set out for Turin, where they arrived on Saturday evening. OPINION OF POPULAR APPLAUSE.—I'he street in which BONAPARTE'S small residence, No. stood, was named Chantereine; but during the night of the 10th --11th December, received the appellation of- " Vic tory," in consequence of a public decree. This and other incense offered to his name, the acclamations which every where followed his appearance, altered not his estimate of the position which he knew himself to occupy in publics opinion. He used to say to me, "In Paris they soon forget every thing. If I remain long here idle, I am- lost. One reputation in ,this great Babylon eclipses another. People will not have seen use above' thrice at the theatre, when I-shall be no longer an object of regard : therefore I shall appear but seldom,"—. When he did go, it Was to a private box. '" Nevertheless," observed I, "it must be agreeable thus to be followed by the admiration of - one's fellow.citlzens." " halt! the same crowd would run after me, with the same eager ness, were I marching to the gillows."—Constabie's Miscellany, Vol. ,LVII., • RIENDSHIP.--One of BONA PA RTE'S greatest misfortunes consisted in his not believing in friendship, and in not feeling the necessity of laving,—.. the sweetest aspiration of which the human heart is susceptible. How often has he excleined in my hear ing, " Friendship is but a word : I love no one We; not even my brothers : JOSEIII, perhaps, a little ; still, if I do love him, it is from habit, because he is the eldest of us.—Duaoc ! Yes; him 1 certainly love. But why? Its character suits me. Be is cold, severe, unfeeling ; and then, Ounoc . never weeps !" As to me, it is all one; I well know that I have no true friends. While I remain whet I am, I can make as many of them as I like in appearance. Look ye, BOURRIENia, we must leave tender-heartedness to the women—that is 'their affair; .but no sensibility , for me! It is necessary to he firni—to have the heart of adamant; otherwise let no one, meddle with war, or politics !"....Coxstablis Mind ',any; vol. LVII. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O' CL CK. The only arrival of consequence, this morning, is a Lisbon mail, by the Britomart, sailed on the 13th August, by which we understand that the British ships captured and carried into the Tagus have been dismantltd. The private letters are very cautious, as they are afraid to write on politics. Demerara Papers to the Sd of July have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but are void of the least interest. The French mail remain► due, consequently we have no estafette letters us yet from Paris. THE FUNDS.

His Lordship afterwards dined with the Directors, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. There were present several of his Majesty's Ministers, and many other distinguished per sonages. We are assured that the delay in making the proposed opening into the Park in Cadton•gardens arises from the difficulty of deciding upon the mode in which it shall be done.—Mornla,9 Paper.

BELLS:—The sound of bells produced upon BONAPARTE a singular effect, for which I luive never been able to account. When we were at Malinaison, and while walking in the avenue leading to Ruel, how often has the booming of the village bell broken off our most serious conversations. He stopped, lest the moving of our feet might cause the loss of a tone in the sounds which charmed him. lie was even inclined to he angry with me for not feeling the same impressions as were made upon himself; the influence, indeed, was so powerful, that his voice trembled with emotion while he said,—" That recalls t? , me the first years I pas se d at Brienne. I was then happy. The bell ceased to vibrate,—and he, resuming the current of gigantic reverie, would launch into futurity, encircle his head with a diadem, and hurl kings from their thrones.

WILLIAMS, This was an action of ejectment to recover possession of some freehold houses situate in the city of Bristol ; but the real question was to try the validity of a will made six teen years since by a Mr. Smith. It appeared from the evi dence, that the plaintiff's wife was the only daughter of Mr. Smith, formerly a wine and brandy merchant, residing at Bristol, whe died when she was only nine years of age, pos sessed of some freehold property in that city; previous to his death, however, he married a second wife, who was die de fendmt in this action, to whom he left the whole of his pro. perty by a will, dated in January, 1814, which will it was now sought to set aside on the ground that it had not been duly executed. The Counsel, on the part of the de fendant,. admitted that the plaintiffs wife was heir•at•law to Mr. Smith, and would have been entitled to her father's property had he died intestate; and as this was admitted, the will being a valid one rested with the defendant to prove, and, he in consequence was entitled to open his case first. Two witnesses were called, who swore that they attested the will in the testator's presence, and by his request. The third attesting witness was the at torney that made the will, and he being dead, his hand writing to the document was proved by his clerk. It was also stated, that the testator was at the time of sound un derstanding, and in every respect competent to make a die. position of his property. On the cross-examination of those witnesses it appeared, that there were some disputes respecting the plaintiff's wife, and she was in consequence sent to live with her grandfather. On the part of the plaintiff it was attempted to be shown, that the will had either been concocted after Mr. Smith's death, or that it bad not been properly attested. In support of the latter point it was !preyed, that when one of the attesting witnesses had been asked if she had ever signed a will made by Mr. Smith, she replied that she never had ; but on being shown the document, she said that it was her hand writing, but the fact had escaped her memory. Mr. Justice PARK, in summing up, said, with the manner in which the property was disposed of the Jury had nothing to do ; they had only to decide whether the will had been made by or at the request of Mr. Smith, and if so, whether it had been properly attested. The' Jury immediately returned a verdict far the defendant, thereby establishing the validity of the will. This case occupied nearly the whole day. In the Crown Court a case of rape I:l:copied from eight o'clock in the morning until three o'clock, when the Jury retired, and had not returned a verdict when our corre spondint left the Court. It is a charge made by a young woman who was prove( to be of a very loose character ; but as the verdict is no returned, we refrain from reporting it to-day. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, Aua. 24. SINGULAR CASE OF 'MANSLAUGHTER. James Ferguson, aged SO, was indicted for killing and slaying Betty Kay, at Great Bolton, on the 12th of July last. Mr. BRAND conducted the case for the prosecution, and Dr. BROWN appeared for the prisoner. Mr. BRAND, in stating the case to the Jury, Observed that it was one which seldom came under the considera tion of a Court of Justice. The indictment charged the prisoner with having undertaken to deliver a woman in child-birth, and neglected and refused to afford her proper relief and assistance, in consequence of which she died. It appeared that the prisoner, who was not a regularly educated medical man, had in his youth been for some time living with his brothers, who were surgeons in Bol ton, that he bad long since relinquished his medical pur suits, and employed himself as a weaver, but that he did occasionally attend poor women in their confinements About a fortnight before the confinement of the poor woman the cause of whose death the Jury were about to enquire into, her husband had agreed with the prisoner to attend her, and an agreement was entered into, that he should attend her for the aunt of Us. 6d. When the poor woman was taken in labour the prisoner was sent for, and he arrived at her cottage about eight o'clock in the morning of the 12th of July; she was delivered of a child at half-past nine that morning, and the charge against the prisoner was, that he had not taken any measures to remove the p/a coda or after-birth, which he ought to have done before he left his patient. The prisoner did not do so, but went away, promising to return in about an hour and a half, but he did not return until one o'clock, at which time he was in such a state of intoxication as rendered him wholly unfit to discharge his duty to his patient. The prisoner not having given any assistance to his patient, and the placenta not having been removed, the natural conse quence "flooding" took place. About six o'clock in the evening the prisoner again called upon hi■ patient, and although he was then rather intoxicated be made an at. tempt to remove the placenta, but without success. The prisoner came again at eight o'clock, but made no further attempt to remove the placenta, and the " flooding" having continued, and the loss of blood being very great, the poor woman became weaker, and at twelve o'clock that night she died. He (Mr. B.) had opened this ease with more minuteness than usual in criminal cases, because he con sidered it to be one of a very novel description, and one which would require the utmost consideration and atten tion of the Jury. He was willing to admit that if the propriety of removal of the placenta immediately after the birth of the child was a question upon which there was much diversity of opinion among medical men—if it was a question upon which one portion of the medical profes sion entertained one opinion, and another portion enter tained a different opinion, then undoubtedly the prisoner was not criminally responsible for any consequences which► might have resulted (rem his mode of treatment, but he (Mr. B.) understood that there was no such diversity of opinion on the subject among medical men, but on the con trary that it was the invariable rule with medical men who practiced in that line of the profession never to leave their patients until the placenta had come away. In nineteen cases out of twenty the placenta came away naturally, but in those cases in which nature did not perform that ope ration the medical attendant resorted to proper measures for accomplishing it. He was aware that the celebrated Dr. Hunter had maintained, in a honk which he had written on midwifery, that in suck eases nature ought to be left to herself ; and probably the opinion of that ce lebrated man would be relied upon by his Learned Friend, who appeared on behalf of the prisoner ; but he (Mr. IL) understood that after the publication of that book fatal experience had convinced Dr. Hunter of time fallacy of that opinion. Be that as it may there could be no doubt that since Dr. Hunter's time the prac tice of all medical men was not to /cave their patients before the placenta was removed. If the prisoner was ignorant of this practice, which prevailed so generally among medical men, he ought not to have undertaken the delivery of a pregnant woman, but having undertaken it, he was answerable for his ignorance or neglect. The following witnesses were then called : John Kay, the husband of Betty Kay, deposed that be had agreed with the prisoner for 6s. 6ti. to deliver his wife, and that he gave the prisoner in part payment a note for Ss. 6d. from the lying-in charity. Immediately after the birth of the child athalf•past nine o'clock in the morn ing of the 12th of July, the prisoner demanded payment, and said " all was doing well," and that he would return In an hour and a half. The prisoner did not return until one o'clock, when he went up stairs and saw the woman. On his return witness, who observed that prisoner was " fresh in liquor," asked him if what was called the afterbirth was "fetched," a n d pr i soner sa id i t was not, but that it would come away "in pieces." The prisoner came again about six o'clock, when " be was more drunk than before," and having seen his patient said " all was doing well." Prisoner came again about nine o'clock, when be was " so very drunk be could not find his bat in the room," and he did not then afford the woman any assistance. About eleven o'clock witness thought his wife was dying, and she thought so too, as she took leave of her children, and he went to Mr. Ferguson, the prisoner's brother, 'who was a " regular doctor," but he refused to come, and the wo man died about half-past twelve o'clock. On the follow . ing day two surgeons, tamed Robinson, and their appren tices, and the prisoner's two brothers, came and examined the body; and, in consequence of something said by one of the Rohinsons, Witness gave information to the constable of Bolton. The woman was very healthy, and had had seven children before. Margaret Kay, the mother of the last witness, swore, that upon the prisoner being remonstrated with for not taking away the " after-birth" when the woman was "terribly," he said that it was " fast" then, and that if he were to attempt to take it away she would " bleed like a pump." In cross-examination, she denied that either she or the deceased hocl said that the prisoner had done hit best, and h►d treated the woman properly. S. 111. Robinson, a surgeon at Bolton, deposed that he had been in practice for upwards of seven years, and in the habit of Attending women - in - labour. t/pon examination of the body of the deceased, about an inch and a half in diameter of the afterbirth was adhering to the womb, but the rest was detiched, and the womb was in consequence ve ry much distended. TitewornarVa'deatil was occasioned by the hemorrhage produced by the non-retrieval of the after-birth, which in most casea was removed by the efforts of nature, with very slight assistance. In his opinion a medical man ought not to leave his patient before the removal of the after-birth, especially if haemor rhage had commenced ; death must be the consequence of hemorrhage being allowed to go on. Cross-examined by Dr. Brown—_l an► a member of the College of Surgeons, and have attended Dr. Davies's Lec tures on Midwifery; I have read Dr. John Hunter's book on Midwifery, but am not aware that he.was a man of great reputation in that branch of the profession ; great caution is necessary in removing the after 7 hit th, but when there is haemorrhage it should be removed immediately; I have never had any quarrel with prisoner; I have lost women in child-birth. Re-examined by Mr. BRAND—In case of htemorrhage it is necessary to remove the placenta, in order to enable the vessels to close, I should do it at any risk. Richard Robinson gave similar evidence. The prisoner, having been called upon for his defence, said he had done the best that he could, and did all that in his judgment was ttcessary. He denied having been intoxicated when he visited his patient. 'the following witnesses w ere ca ll e d f or t h e defence : —.. Ellen Woods swore that she heard the deceased say that the prisoner had done " very well" for her, and that when the witness asked her to have another doctor, the mother in-law said " How foolish you talk, he has done all he can for her." Witness saw the prisoner when he visited the diceased, but did not think he was in liquor. Betty 111 1 Cre4 deposed that she was in the house of the deceased at the time of the delivery and of the subsequent visits of the prisoner, who did not appear to be in liquor —that the deceased had told her that the prisoner would have removed the after-birth, but that she (deceased) had prevented him from doing so, as he had said that it would give her great pain, and she would "wait God's time."— Before the deceased was taken ill she felt different from what she had before, and that she thought she should not " come through it." Ilia Loansiirr, in summing up, told the Jury, that the only question for their consideration was, whether or not the deceased had come by her death through the gross igno. ranee or negligence of the prisoner. If they should he of opinion that she had so come by bee death, then they must find the prisoner Guilty; but if they had any reasonable doubt upon the subject, the prisoner was entitled to the benefit of it. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty; and the Cntar JUSTICE, having dilated upon the nature of his offence, in undertaking a duty to the performance of which he appeared to be totally inadequate, sentenced him to six months' imprisonment in the castle of Lancaster. LOSS OF THE MARYS SCHOONER, OF LEAP. Courts, Aua. 24.—A small vessel, named the Marys, put off from Leap, a village near Southampton, on Monday afternoon, laden with bricks, for Southampton ; but her boat breaking away, and making towards Cowes (Isle of Wight), induced the master to bear towards that place, in the hope of regaining her, where they anchored for the night, one of the men coming on shore, and leaving an old man and boy on board. It subsequently blew rather fresh, and the hatchways not being properly fastened down, a great quantity of water splashed therein, which the bricks of course soaked up ; it was not, there fore, known that she had taken in any water. On Tues. day they sailed for Southampton, not having recovered their boat. When about a mile and a half from the shore, and a little below Cowes Castle, the vessel was observed to draw a great quantity of water, and appeared in a sink. ing state. Several boats from the yachts immediately put off, but before they could reach the vessel she sunk, and, melancholy to relate, the person who had been on shore, named Strugnell, perished. The old man and boy were picked up, and conveyed to the Royal Yacht Club-house, where they were kindly treated. The vessel is in 12 fa. thorns water, so that it will be impossible again to re cover her. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT-lIEATFI SECOND MEETING. WEDNESDAY, Ann. 25.—The heath was very thinly attended to-day, the sources of attraction being extremely moderate. In the first place, it was generally understood that the King would not be present, besides which, the showery state of the weather, and the fact of there being only one race to take place, combined to prevent many persona from coming who otherwise might have been in duced to participate in the amusements of the place. In deed, it was matter of surprise that so many persons as .were present should have assembled, considering all things, fur we seldom recollect less temptation held out to the sporting world than that presented on Ascot Heath to day. The only race run was for a plate of Iso . stews,:. foe all ages, for which two horses started, via., the Duke of Richmond's Rough Robin, and Lord Jersey's Glenartney. The latter was the favourite at 7 to 2, and won by a length without much difficulty, but he might have won easier if he pleased. It was ludicrous to see the long flees of those viiiters who had come down from town to witness tke sport, when they ascertained that there was to be no more running to. day. Some matches were spoken of, but it WAS said that they would not take place because the King was not present. In the Royal Stand we observed the Princes George of Cambridge and George of Cumberland, Mince Esterliazy and his son, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Earl and Countess of Errol, Duke of Richmond, Duke of Dorset, Lord and Lady Clinton, Lord Forester, Sir A. Barnard, Lord Mary borough, the Misses Fitselarence, anti Colonel d'Eate. This distinguished party partook of a cold collation before taking their departure for the Castle. In the Stewards' stand were the Marquis of Worcester, Marquis of London derry, Earl of Uxbridge, Lord W. Lennox, Lord Alvanley, lion. Mr. Rous, Mr. Scott Stonehewer, Mr. Delme Rad cliffe, &c. This list comprehends nearly all the fashion ables present. We left the heath at halh.past two o'clock, when it was generally understood that their Majesties and the other members of the Royal Family who were present on Tuesday would again visit it this day. It was also stated, on pretty good authority, that the feeble support afford to this meeting will prevent its repetition. The day's race came off thud : A Plate of 5 0 sm. for all ages, Mile and half. Lord Jersey's Glenartney, 6 yrs Lord Uxbridge's Rough Robin, 5 yrs Betting Stol on Glenartney. Rough Robin made play at a moderate pace, Glenartney keeping behind with waiting orders ; be did not make any running till dose. borne, when he gave Robin the go-by, anti won cleverly by a length. Rode by Robineon, the loser by Boyce. If we have nothing to say of this day's races, we can hold out " large promise" fur to-morrow : the 100/. and 501. plates are well filled, no may be collected from the subjoined list of the entries, in addition to which there will be a Ladies' Plate of HI, and probably another race. The following are the nominations fur the Plate of 100 sova. Two miles and a half.
