ApvicE._When Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messr s . G OSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, v i z., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily a d effectually cured ; as a l so d e bili ty, whether ar i s i ng uaßacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mistiken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi cate of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials from the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) th a t t h e success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of the general practitioner ; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Coin plaints however inveterate or complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short space of a few days. The unprece dented success of their mode of treatment, which Las never been known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during which period many thousand persons of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and inju rious method s had been pursued by other practitioners without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice.

Sin,-You are, no doubt, pretty well acquainted with the proceedings of the Rev. Mr. Irving, but his extra. vagances will soon be thrown completely into the shade by Air. Baxter, an attorney in this town, who it is generally bel'eved, was alluded to in the Times on Friday week, under the designation of an •' inspired attorney from Yorkshire," and who is there described as having broken in upon the service in Mr. Irving's chapel eight or nine times in the course of the morning and evening. Mr. Baxter was a few months ago a strenuous supporter of the church, and published a reply to Mr. Beverley's letter to the Archbishop of York ; but he has now seceded from the church, and openly denounces it. He has for several weeks past :been in the habit of reading and explaining the scriptures in different rooms in the town, which are generally crowded to excess—large numbers being drawn to hear him, doubtless, from the novelty of his expositions: and it is generally understood that he has brought several persons into his own way of thinking—amongst the rest a clergyman of the church residing in the neighbourhood. I have copied from my notes part of his explaation of the Bth of Revelations on Friday evening last; and as it par takes more of a political than a religious character, you, perhaps, may be induced to give it a place in the Sun. Mr. Baxter, after reading the Sth chapter of Revela tions, remarked that the Book of Revelations was divided into three parts. The first contained the addresses to the seven Churches. The opening of the seals (setting out the state of the visible Church from the time of Christ going up into glory to the day when he would cast it off, and bring in the church spiritual) was the second part. The third part was the setting forth of the state of the church spiritual, which the Lord is now about to reveal on the earth ; for the Lord, because of the sins of the visible church, has cast it off; and because the visible church has quenched the spirit of the Lord, and committed abomina tion, he has taken his spirit from it. This third part of the Book of Revelations was that to which all must take heed, because it is that which is now fulfilling on the earth. It is said when the 7th seal was opened there was silence in Heaven for the space of half an hour. This si lence was the bringing in of the third part of the book— the bringing in of the prophecy of the two witnesses, as described in the 11 th chapter—the time of driving the woman into the wilderness, as described in the 12th chapter—the time of the two beasts, as described in the 13th chapter —the time of the lamb standing on Mount Sion, as described in the 14th chapter; and in these chapters would be found all that the Lord has to do within the three years and a half ' into which we have now en tered. The sounding of the trumpets indicated the laying down of the Protestant part of Christendom, which yet ho'ds the pure form of godliness: while the Papal part and the infidel part have wholly departed not only from the spirit of godliness, but also from the form of godliness. The " third part" alluded to in the chapter, as being de strayed, was the Protestant part, where the judgment of God must begin, because the Protestant part having the farm of godliness denied the power ; and, because the people of God are deceived by the form of godliness, which is in the Protestant part, God will break in pieces and de stroy the form of godliness, because it slays the souls of the people. The workings of Satan might be seen in Popery and Infidelity ; but when Satan came clothed with the Protestant forms of godliness, which are pure—when he came as an angel of light, having the form of godliness, who could know him ? If he had crept in under the form of godliness, was it not time for the Lord to arise and strip him of his garments, that the people might be no longer deceived? Mr. Baxter then alluded to popery and infidelity. The infidel he described as satan's servant ; the papist was also satan's servant, but under a form more like to christianity. Every one had heard of the cruelty exercised by the papists over the children of God--of their murders, racks, tortures, inquititions, prisons__ they had been as a mountain sitting on the breasts of the people of the Lord to weigh them down to the earth. But there was another inquisition, ano ther torture, another slaying of the people of God, another mountain lying over the people of the Lord. This was in the Protestant part of Christendom. Had not the spirit been quenched in the Protestant churches ? Wius it not quenched in the mass of those that are called Protestant? Assuredly it was. Not only had this spirit of the Lord been quenched, but more had been done. When there had arisen in congregations men to speak what had been done ? They had been persecuted, borne down. This was worse than putting to death, for while the Papists lay the body on the rack, they could not touch the soul ; but they who quenched the spirit were slaying the soul. For this it was that the Lord would first arise on the Protestant part of Christendom—for this would this nation be judged. Mr. Baxter then, in allusion to the earthquake mentioned in the sth verse, said the falling of the French nation into infidelity was that earthquake which was necessary to divide Christendom into three parts : for before the French fell into the infidel form it was built up in the old Papal form. When the late King fell, and the present King came to the throne, the nation cast off the Papal religion, and became infidels. They have no national religion, and the nation is an infidel nation. The Papal and the Protestants parts were well known ; and Christendom was now divided into three parts for the sounding of the trumpets. They belong to this land, because this land is the Protestant part of Christendom. The first trumpet is the destruction of the civil state of the nation ; the 2d, of the military ; the 3,1, of the ecclesiastical; the 4th, of the regal ; the sth, the desolation of the Church in the nation ; the 6th, the send ing the sword of civil war through the nation, and the breaking down of the state; the 7th, the going of the saints into glory. Within three years and a-half all these will be blown—within three years and a-half will all be fulfilled on the earth. BLACKWOOD, EDINBURGH; AND CADELL, LONDON, 1832 This is a book which deserves notice, not merely on account of its practical use, but by reason► of its tendency to advance the science of jurisprudence. A complete digest of the criminal code of a country, which is not a mere compilation from statutes and cases, but a phi losophical arrangement of legal principles, is cal culated to do good service towards the purifying and rationalizing of the criminal law of that country ; and in this point of view the utility of the work to England, is not less than to Scotland. Without a comparison of systems of law, the science of jurisprudence cannot exist, any more than surgery can flourish without a knowledge of comparative anatomy. Mr. Ben tham is said to have made himself master of every existing legal system, before his invaluable writings made their appearance, but, of the Herculean difficulty of such a task, few can be aware, who do not know the voluminous mass of books in which the laws of most countries are to be found, and that only by diligent search. So far as regards Scotland, there was great need of a work like the present, and though our limits debar us from giving even a synopsis of its contents, we cannot forego the occasion of recommending to professional, as well as un learned readers, the best Digest of the Criminal Law of Scotland within our knowledge, and one that is unincumbered with the obsolete and superfluous matter with which such works too often abound. Baron Hume's celebrated work, besides being somewhat antiquated, has lost much of its applicability to the business of the Courts, and can hardly compete in utility with the pre sent volume, which contains above a thousand unreported cases, and above five hundred deci sions upon analogous points in English practice. It is the first volume, being complete in itself on the subject of crimes, and the second volume, which will be a separate work, is intended to embrace the subjects of indictment, trial, and evidence. The following extract from the chapter on it:nominate offences, will afford a specimen of Mr. Alison's style. " By the common law every new crime, as it succes sively arises, becomes the object of punishment, provided it be in itself wrong, and hurtrul to the persons or pro perty of others. " In the particulars above stated, the great and ruling distinction between the Scotch and English law is to be found, and from it the superior mildness and humanity of our practice has arisen. In England the powers of the common law do not extend in the general case beyond a misdemeanour, and all the serious crimes, and almost all the modern offences, are the subject of legislative enact ments. The consequence is, that their statutes, made on the spur of the moment, and frequently at the suggestion of interested or suffering parties, are, in general, characte rized by excessive severity; and the Judges, having no power to modify the penalties, find themselves constrained to pronounce the pain of death on numerous offenders wholly unworthy of so extreme a punishment, and who, as a matter of course, are afterwards pardoned. In Scot land, on the other hand, where the powers of the common law are more extensive, and we have been less afflicted, till recent times, with the fever of legislation, new delin quencies, as they have successively arisen, have fallen under the coercion of the common law, and thence they have been not only visited at first with a milder punishment than those ordained in the sister kingdom by the supreme au thority of the legislature, but the criminal practice has been softened by the increa , ing humanity of successive times, and accommodated itself to the ideas and necessities of more civilized ages. Hence, while the capital crimes of England are still, notwithstanding the enlightened efforts of recent legislation, nearly 300, those of Scotland are not yet 50, of which more than a half have originated with the British Parliament." Mr. Baxter on a previous occasion said, that the " three years and a-half" commenced on the 14th of January in the pre•ent year so that according to his statement, Christ will make his appearance in the heavens in July, 1835!!! As an authority for this, Mr. Baxter quotes the 2d verse of the 11th of Revelations, wherein occur the words " forty and two months:" but how he discovered that the forty and two months" commenced on the 14th of January last is a complete mystery. The following verse mentions " two witnesses," who are to pro phecy " a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." These two witnesses Mr. Baxter has stated to be on the earth, but he does not name them. GENERAL REGISTRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIA—I have perused carefully the long letter of your corre spondent T. B. regarding this matter. In imitation of the spirit with which he has addressed the Committee, I, too, would wish to avoid thrusting myself officiously forward, yet as I have a thorough knowledge of the Registers of Scotland (being, in truth, occupied about them every day), and have also a little ac quaintance with the state of real property in England, and the laws by which that property is at present regulated, I trust the following observations, by way of reply to T. B's letter, will not be deemed intrusive. He founds chiefly upon fears, but I shall endeavour to state facts. T. 8., to a certain extent, labours under a mistake, in sup. posing that a general registry is a novelty, and that local re gisters prevail generally out of England. We take consider able credit to ourselves as a nation on account of the perfect state of our system of registration, which is general, and is centered in Edinburgh, the Keepers of the local public registers being merely collectors, who transmit periodically to the gene ral register house, Edinburgh, the whole deeds registered with them, and there they are retained for ever after, not as the public records of any particular district, but as the property of the kingdom at large, for such, in truth, they are, and ought to be considered. A general register for Scotland is also kept in Edinburgh, so that parties have it in their option either to re gister their deeds in it, or with the district collectors, and if there were any great advantage to be derived from the latter plan, we surely would have found it out long ago ; but instead of this being the case, parliamentary returns lately made spew to demonstration, that at least two-thirds of the whole deeds registered in our public registers are sent to Edinburgh at the expense of the parties, while the remainder are scattered throughout the local registers, which, as I said before, are pe riodically (i. e. once a year at least) transmitted to Edinburgh. The reason of this selection is obvious. What man would wil. finely have hi s p r i va t e t ransac ti ons ma d e t h e gossip of a dis trict, if h e could avoid .it ? Where, too, as happens in a great majority of cases, purchasers and lenders are to be sought for in other districts, the advantages of centralization must be appa rent. But independent of this, I maintain, that the state of the law re garding real property in En g l an d, w ill not admit of loc a l registers. Supposing such a pl an were a d o pt e d w ith referen ce to direct conveyances, what is to be done with indirect ones which affect no parti c ul ar p ro p er t y ? Th ey , a t l eas t, wou ld require to be sent to a general registry, since jou could not oblige the Officers of the Crown to find out the districts wherein the estates of its debtors and accountants were situated, and it would be manifest injustice to lay private creditors, conusees, &c., under a similar necessity. Here, then, there would, in al; cases, be two registries to consult, and intending purchasers or lenders, I have reason to think, would often look upon the general one as of the most importance.

BYRON'S DESCRIPTION OF FALMOUTH.- This town of Falmouth, as you will partly conjecture, is no great way from the sea. It is defended on the sea side by tway castles, St. Maw's and Pendennis, extremely well calculated for annoying every body except an enemy. St. Maw's is garri soned by an able-bodied person of four score, a widower. He has the whole command and sole management of six most un manageable pieces of ordinance, admirably adapted for the de struction of Pendennis, a like tower of strength on the opposite side of the Channel. We have seen St. Maw's, but Pendennis they will not let us behold, save at a distance, because Hobhouse and I are suspected of having taken St. Maw's by a coup de main. The town contains many quakers and salt fish. The oysters have a taste of copper, owing to this sort of a mining country. The women (bless the corporation therefore!) are dogged at the cart's tail when they pick and steal, as happened to one of the fair sex yesterday noon. She was pertinacious in her behaviour, and d—d the Mayor.—Moore's Notices of the Life of Lord Byron. ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH, AND RESTORA TION OF THE. LADY CHAPEL—On Tuesday night a meeting of distinguished persons interested in the restoration of this old and venerable appendage to St. Saviour's Church, and the open. ing of 150 feet frontage for the view of the same, was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of arranging a public din ner; on the 31st of March, to commemorate the above events, and particularly that of the object gained by the parishioners and the public in rescuing that edifice from destruction, and promoting its restoration by public subscription, It appeared that forty Members of Parliament had already given in their names as stewards, and that upwards of 1,7001. had been already subscribed, THE HOUSE OF LORDS ROUTED. 011 Saturday last, the Town-green pond at Dumfermline teemed with toads, all in motion, and apparently under extraordinary excitation. A number of boys stood looking intensely on for some time, when one of them exclaimed—" It's the House o'Lords debatin' the reform bill." In an instant, Demolish „ was the universal and simultaneous cry. Caps and bonnets were filled with stones, " Now for Wellington !" " Here's at you, Londonderry!" " Take that, Buckingham!" " The Bishops! the Bishops!" shouted a little urchin. Th e " hurra" became universal, and terrible was the work of death. The above incident "points a moral," if it does not "adorn a tale."—Scotsman. ANIMAL INSTINCT.--." A strong proof of intellect was given in the case of Colonel O'Kelly's parrot. When the Colonel and his parrot were at Brighton the bird was asked to sing ; he answered, I can't.' Another time he left off in the middle of a tune, and said, ' I have forgot.' Colonel O'Kelly continued the tune for a few notes, and the parrot took it up where the Colonel had left off. The parrot, took up the bottom of a lady's petticoat, and said, " What a pretty foot:" The parrot seeing the family at breakfast, said, Won't you give some breakfast ; Poll r The company teazed and mopped him a good deal he said, I don't likeit.'

The first has been already explained in a former pamphlet by the same author, and he thus expresses himself on the other : " It would, of course, be necessary to appoint in every town, where the system was to be established, two stipen diary Justices, under whose controul the Police would he; and I would suggest, that not only should the immediate suburbs of all such towns he included within the operation of this force; but that in the same manner as the Justices for the metropolitan district are Justices of the Peace for all parts of the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Hertford, Essex, and Kent ; so the jurisdiction of the Justices for any of those provincial towns should extend, if required, to any part of the county in which such towns were situated ; and the Police force should be available to act in any part of the said county, in case of emergency. For which purpose it might be desirable, that a portion of the Police of each place should he mounted. " The same system that was adopted in the large towns, might be followed in the coal districts, and in the iron dis tricts ; and wherever a large population is congregated, the Police being in such districts, under the controul of two stipendiary Justices, as in the towns. " The great objection to this plan, would of course be the increase of power given to the Crown. But this strikes me as a difficulty, rather in terms, than in fact. _ " It is true the Crown would have the command of this force, and that the stipendiary Justices would be appointed by it. But the Ministers of the Crown would be re sponsible for the execution of this power. What Minister would dare to abuse this power? What Minister could abuse it with impunity ! " Again, nothing would be more easy than to give the House of Commons the same controul over this force as it has over the standing army. It might, for instance, be determined, that the Police Act, like the Mutiny Act, should extend no farther than one Session ; that its powers should expire, unless continued by a renewed ♦ote of the House ; and there seems no reason why the sums for its support should not constitute a part of the annual ways and means. By this regulation, the real power would be in the bands of the House of Commons ; and can it be supposed that an House of Commons would continue the supplies to any Minister who entertained designs against the independence of the nation ? " Such a force, it seem to me, would be sufficient, not only to preserve peace, but to give confidence ; the rich would no longer dread to circulate their wealth, which, flowing through its former channels, would enrich and fertilize the country; public peace would be preserved by the rightful power of the law ; and the power of the law would be checked and controuled by the constitutional authority of the House of Commons." --- - A correspondent informs us that the cholera morbus is prevalent in Paris, and has been so for the last two months. We stated as much some days ago on the authority of private letters from thence, which has not since been contra dicted. (PRICE 7D speak from thorough experience, when I state that a general registry has all the advantages which local registers could pos. ibly possess, while the latter never will have the advantages of the former. To every person except those residing in the places where the local registers happened to be kept, it would, I conceive, be a matter of indifference, whether they sent their deeds for registration by post to those places, or to London. In other respects the registry proposed by Mr. Campbell will admit of being consulted with ease, not through the expensive medium Of an Attorney, but by simply addressing a letter to the Officers of the registry, who will be bound to answer all reasonable inquiries. The case of emergency alluded to by T.B. which might not admit of this being done, will not bear the proportion of one to the hundred of ordinary cases, and to satisfy himself that the registry will be of a manageable compass, he will find, on perusing the Bill, that in so far as direct conveyances are concerned, it proposes to divide England and Wales into districts. I have always looked upon registration by memorials as very objectionable. It may give certain particulars correctly enough, but it does not explain all that I should be disposed to consider of importance. For instance, it neither explains nor refers to covenants and conditions of contingency, tending to limit or even defeat theright itself. T. B. thinks (q. e. d.) that registration by memorials would be sufficient to prevent fraud by suppression, which he appears to consider the principal, and, I would infer from other parts of his letter, the only object of a registry; but here he commits a serious mistake, for I have been taught by experience that it ought to be the object of a proper registry to preserve conveyances (either by retaining the prin cipals or authenticated copies) as well as to publish them. He believes, too, that all the good which can be effected by a re gistry will be to supersede the necessity and expense of co venants from holders to produce, &c. Here, too, he is in error ; the peculiar usefulness of a registry such as the one proposed by Mr. Campbell, consisting in this, that while it publishes conveyances, it also serves as a repository, from which title deeds, lost or mislaid, may be made up at any time. It thus affords a remedy for what is a very serious evil, and one too of frequent occurrence. Mr. C.'s plan is comprehensive, as it ought to be; but if my reading of the Bill is correct, it does not, as T. B. supposes, include leases at rack-rent, or for any period under 21 years, where the possession goes along with the property. The proposal for making the property secondary to the title deeds, and for holding delivery of the one as symbolical tradi tion of the other, is at variance with all experience. It would be attended, amongst other things, with this disadvantage (which is also occasioned as much by the want of a registry), that the first mortgage would, in general, be the only one ; whereas in Scotland, where no such practice is known, and where the registers are the only tests of property, a proprietor may borrow money upon his estates, in such sums, and at such times, as may be called for by his necessities. It is no uncom mon thing, if he should fail in obtaining a loan of a sufficient amount from one person, to make it up in smaller sums from various others. Nor would existing evils be remedied by declaring frauds, in the transmission of property, to be felony, and punishing them as such : that is a mode of legislating which can only be war ranted by extreme necessity, and when prevention was proved to be impossible. T. 8., and all others, may rest assured that there is not so much difference betwixt English and Scotch conveyances, as to render useless to the one what has been productive of so much benefit to the other. Indeed the opposition which Mr. Camp bell's Bill has met with, is looked upon with the utmost sur prise in this country. I am, Sir, yours, &c. A. D. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Joseph Camplin Prosser, perpetual Curate of Newchurch, Monmouthshire, has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of Llandaff to the Rectory of Itton. Patron, W. Curre, Esq., of Itton Court, near Chepstow. The general trade of this district (Newcastle) has been considerably injured by the last " stick" of the pit men, and by their refusing since to work more than six or seven hours a day. A report of the committee of the coal owners has just been published, in which they state, that from these causes, during the past year, 317,519 chaldrons, or 841,425 tons, less of coals have been wrought than would have been if no such cessation or restriction of labour had taken place. Cal culating these coals at 18s. per ton, they amount to the enor mous sum of 757,282/. Assuming the one-third only of this quantity could have been sold, of which the coal-owners say there can exist no doubt, from the actual vend and the time the ships were kept waiting, the loss to the pitmen themselves, and to others engaged in the general business of the place, appears greatly to exceed 2:AWOl.—Tyne Mercury. PAFID GROWTH OF FISH.—" The rapid growth of some fish is very extraordinary. I saw three pike taken out of a pond in Staffordshire, belonging to the present Sir Jervoise Clark Jervoise, two of which weighed 361 b. each, and the other 351 b. The pond was fished every seven years, and, supposing that store pike of 61b. or 71b. weight were left in it, the growth of the pike in question must have been at the rate of at least 41b. a-year. Salmon, however, grow much faster. It is now ascertained that grilse, or young salmon, of from 211 b. to 31b. weight have been sent to the London markets in the month of May, the spawn from which they come having only been deposited in the preceding October or November, and the ova taking three months of the time to quicken. It has also been ascertained, by experiment, that a grilse which weighed 61b. :in February, after spawning, has, on its return from the sea in September, weighed 131 b. ; and a salmon-fry of April will in June weigh 41b., and in August 61b." —Gleanings of Natural History. HERTFORD, MARCH 20.—ELOPEMENT.-- About half-past five o'clock on Thursday afternoon a chaise and four drove up to the Green Man posting-house, Barnet, at a desperate rate. Inside was a young lady of eighteen or nineteen years of age, attended by her lady's maid and accompanied by a gay Lothario, by far her senior in years, who was recognised by some of Mr. Newman's establishment as an half.pay officer in the army. To the inquiry of " Horses on, Sir ?" he au. swered, " We must get you to tell us the way ; we arc of to Gretna Green." They received the necessary information, and in a few minutes were again off at full speed, proceeding across Hadley-common at a rate of not less than sixteen or eighteen miles an hour. From the postboys who drove the couple to Barnet nothing more waA learnt than the fact of their coming to Mr. Newman's yard in Regent-street, and ordering a chaise and tour to Barnet with all possible celerity. Betwen ten and eleven o'clock at night the lady was pursued by her father and brother, attended by a Bow.street officer, who came posting through Barnet at the same killing pace. The young lady was then stated to be an only daughter, and the possessor of conside rable property on her coming of age. The runaways passed the Leeds coach at Stamford at five o'clock on ri Fclay morning, and her father was then about three stages behind.—County Press. AMERICAN PAPER. W 6 received last night from the Northand SouthAtne !lean Coffee•heuse, per the Pacific, American Papers to the 2d of March. The following extracts, relating to the great floods of the Ohio (64 feet above low-water mirk), and a grant of the Virginia Legislature for the re moval of free people of colour, will be read with in. terest ;-- THE GREAT FLOOD.—We have received from the Edi tors of the Cincinnati (Ohio) American, proof slips of the 14th, 16th, and 17th, detailing the disasters by the flood at that place. We have only room to day for the following extracts:.... CINCINNATI, FEB. 14.—Tna FLOOD !--The destruc tion of property is immense—cellars filled with water— board-yards swept of every stick of timber—and some houses already on the move Since writing the above, we have been out recon noitring the premises. What a scene ! The water still on the rise—people moving in every direction—some from the first to the second story—others from the second escaping in boats. It is undoubtedly the greatest rise ever known. A friend who arrived in the Napoleon, from above, reports eighteen houses on the way, which may be expected in due season. There is scarcely ground enough to be seen at Marietta for the dove to rest upon. No one can say when the waters will subside. Our printing-office can only be reached by boats. There is as yet no abatement of the waters. The rivers continue to rise above, swelling the Ohio to a fearful height. Steam-boats can neither load nor unload ; every one is employed in moving. THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 16.--The river " still continues on the rise." It is undoubtedly sixty-four feet above low water mark. Yesterday it rose at the rate of an inch an hour. From six o'clock last evening to six this morning we should think at the rate of an inch and a half an hour. This morning it continues to rise at the rate of an inch per hour. We took a boat, in company with a nnmher of others yesterday afternoon, and rowed to the lower part of the city. The scene presented cannot easily be described. It was painful to witness destruction on so vast a scale. Some houses upset; others in imminent danger. The water reached the roofs of the more humble, and the win dows of the second stories of good frame houses. Flat boats loaded with women and children, furniture and livestock. Race, Vine, Elm and Walnut, busy with the moveables. The paper-mills appeared to be in the middle of the river, if river it can be called. Skiffs were passing in every di rection. We returned via Front-street. The fine houses flooded, the lower part of the street quite deserted, and the second stories occupied of those nearer Main—boat loads of furniture from Water-street, fornaed a melancholy tout ensemble. Two of the workmen at Tiled foundry were drowned last night. FRIDAY MORNING, Fea. 17.—The work of desolation still continues—the river having reached nearly to Lower Market-street. Our "composing" room is about a square from the publishing-office. When we issued the first cir cular, no one presumed it would reach much further than Columbia ; but all calculations have failed—" it is still on the rise, it is still on the rise," is all that is said or known. The boatmen are crying beneath our windows, " Twelve and a half cents to the mouth of Main-street." Every kind of craft is put in requisition, tubs, boxes, canoes, flats, dug-outs, skiffs, yawls, &c. &c. We cannot enumerate half of the sad calamities rumour is bringing in. The river, as it sweeps past with aecu mulating waters, carries with it the wreck of desolation. A church passed the city with its steeple, for New Orleans—we presume a poor market. Excellent frame houses float along, with haystacks, rails, leaving the farms stript of every vestige of cultivation. The lower Mill. creek-bridge started yesterday morning. Hamilton and Colerain bridges have also floated off, and the bridge over White River in Kentucky. The Kentucky river had banked up as far as Frankfort, sixty-four miles above its mouth. The Cumberland and Tennessee were both hie; We should think the water at this time (Friday evening) nearly at its height--rising this morning about one half of an inch an hour. We have but little to add to the above. From the " look out" at the Commercial Hotel, corner of Broadway and Front, we had an excellent prospect of " Cincinnati as it is." The waste of waters The suburbs East and Weet, with the lower part of the city, as far as Lower Market, the cellars of which are flied with water, were navigable in every direction. Newport, opposite this city, was pretty well afloat—the water reach ing nearly to the windows in the second story of the U. S. Arsenal. Covington does better—some dry land being yet discernible. VIRGINIA LEGIstATuRR.---After a protracted and in teresting debate of some week's, continuance, in which the mischiefs and perils of slavery have for the first time been publicly disclosed and frankly admitted, the House of Dele gates have passed a Bill providing for the removal of the free people of colour in that Commonwealth. It was passed by a majority of 179 to 41. Thp Bill appropri ates for the object 35,000 dollars for the present year, .ind 90,000 dollars for the year 1833 ; the emigrants to be transported to some place beyond the limits of the United States, left to the discretion of the Central Board. This Board is to consist of the Governor, Treasurer, and Audi tor, es.officio, who are clothed with the power of appoint. ing agencies at Norfolk, Petersburgh, or other places. ATTEMPTED BURKING AND ROBBER Y BY FEMALES. Near Brownlow-lane is a house inhabited by a family named Sedgwick, who have long been the terror of the neighbourhood. This family consists of Thomas Sedgwick and his wife ; their sons—Thomas, a full grown young Daniel, a lad about nine years old, another son about four years old ; and two daughters—Mary, aged nineteen, and Sarah, aged seventeen. At the distance of three hundred yards from their residence, lived, with their daughter Sarah, and three small children entrusted to her to nurse, in the house of their son James, Sarah Sutton, a poor, weak, blind, deaf, and lame old woman, and her husband, Ralph Sutton. On the morning of Tuesday last James Sutton was at his work on the road at Tytherington, near this town, leaving only the old woman at home with the three infants. These facts being known to the daughters of Sedgwick, the father being at the time imprisoned in Chester Castle, the mother gone to Macclesfield, and the eldest eon being also absent, they determined on robbing the dwelling of Sutton of a large sum of money which they were aware he possessed, and forthwith com menced operations. They dressed themselves in some clothes belonging to their father and eldest brother,:blackened their faces with soot from the chimney, and placed a gown sleeve upon each of their heads as a covering. They then took a quantity of tar that had been provided for the cow, and spread it upon a piece of brown paper. Having com pleted these preliminaries, they next sent their brother Daniel to the house of Sutton, to entice the three children into Sedgwick's shippen, about two hundred yards distant, and keep them there until they had effected their purpose. He had no sooner gone than they burst open the old wo man's door, and one of them seized her and threw her down in the corner of the room, demanding, at the same time, in an assumed gruff tone, to know where she kept her money. The old lady positively denied that she had any; upon which the girl by whom she was assaulted, and who kept her down by lying upon her body, applied the tarred plaister to her month, and endeavoured to knock her bead against the ground, at the same time swearing she would kill her unless she revealed the secret they wished to know. With some eliffictilty she got the plaister from her mouth, and though, as she states, she expected that moment was to be her last, her tenacity of money was even stronger than that of her life, and " she persisted in denying that there was any money in the house. Meanwhile, the other girl was employed ransacking the upper rooms, and endeavonring to force open the drawer of a desk with a chisel that she had pro vided tio• the purpose ; but she failed in efr cting this part of her object, and at length sullenly called out to her !da ter to leave the old woman and go away; when they had left, the boy Daniel returned with the three children, and the old woman told him the particulars of the violence to which she had been subjected by two men, as she sup posed ; adding, that it was well they had not been able - to force open the drawer, as her son sometimes kept money there to the amount of thirty pounds and upwards. The words were scarcely out of her mouth, when the door was burst open a second time, and the same violence she had before experienced was repeated. The drawer was this time forced by the means of a large stone and the chisel before mentioned ; the person who committed the act making up to it as loon as entrance was Ottaitied.
