The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every Peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, moet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO LADIES.-GLOUCESTER, SATURDAY.-A trial of considerable interest came on before the Gloucestershire Court of Quarter Sessions, and occupied the attention of the Court up to a late hour in the evening. The accused were a Miss Little page and a Mrs. Smith, both highly respectable ladies, and well-known in the counties of Gloucester and Wor cester as having been engaged in the education of mem bers of highly respectable families. The charge against them was that they had stolen linen to the value of 501., and divers articles of plate, the property of Captain Maxwell, of Kemerton-priory, near Tewkesbury. Mr. Pigott conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Skinner and Mr. Fallen defended the prisoners. The evidence ad duced on the trial was very voluminous, but the facts briefly were as follows :—Mrs. Maxwell, the lady of Captain Maxwell, had the education of some private pupils at Kemerton-priory, and the captain becoming embarassed in consequence of his connection with a mining company, retired from Kemerton to London for a time, and he and Mrs. Maxwell made an arrangement with Miss Littlepage and Mrs. Smith that they should take to the house and the pupils for a year, and that Captain Maxwell should pay the housekeeping expenses and receive the money from the pupils. Miss Littlepage was to take to the furniture, and a bill of sale of it was drawn up, but was afterwards cancelled. When Cap tain Maxwell left Kemerton, the plate and linen not in common use was locked up in a large chest, and they took away the key, but afterwards, something being wanted out of the box, the key was sent to Kemerton. In October last year the landlord of the house put in a distress for rent, and thereupon Mrs. Maxwell came down, settled with them, and they left. The prisoners left about this time, and then the plate and linen in question was missed. It appeared, upon the evidence, that Miss Littlepage had taken the things, openly saying to some that she should keep them safe, and return them when required ; and to others that she should keep them as a lieu for money owing to her. This was the defence, and it was stated that the ladies had taken advice upon the point. The jury agreed that there was no felonious intent, and found the prisoners not guilty, amidst the acclamations of the court. A letter from Berlin states that the King of Prussia has conferred the order of the Black Eagle on the Arch duke Ferdinand Maximilian, of Austria ; and that of the Red Eagle, third class, on the French Colonel Marnier. MELA.NOROLY ACCIDENT.—MALTA, JAN. 2.—A Very melancholy accident has recently occurred, which has thrown a gloom over our society, and excited the sympa thies of all classes. Some short time since, Miss Drum mond, the eldest daughter of the London banker, was enjoying a ride, when she was thrown violently, and broke her jaw. As she lay on the ground she still re tained her hold of the bridle, when the animal reared, and evidently frightened the unfortunate lady. She was removed to her hotel, where medical assistance was called in, and the sufferer, on the 28th ult., was doing as well as could be expected, her jaw settling nicely, her wounds healing kindly, and indeed she was so well as to have been quite gay, and in high spirits. At four a.m. of the 29th, she woke her nurse, and, feeling un well, asked for some beef tea (the nourishment allowed ahselre);she andthat her own ma id s h ou ld b e sen t f or.

J Within a few hours' sail of the coast of Italy upon the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, lies a tract of country which, though surrounded by the most powerful military empires of antiquity and of mo dern times, has never been wholly conquered, and though within reach of the comtherce, the culture, and the wealth of Greece and Italy, has never been civilised. The ridges of the Albanian mountains have been inhabited from time immemorial, by a fiery and independent race of highlanders, whose only pursuits are those of pastoral life, and whose chief passion is the use of arms. Their martial habits have, indeed, secured to them a sort of in dependence, even under the despotism of the Ot toman Empire. As long as the Venetians held the coast of the Adriatic, several free Christian com munities, self-governed and self-defended, main tained close relations of amity with the Republic of St. Mark. It was not till a much later period that the interesting little States of Suli and of Parga sank under the barbarity of Ali Pasha, of Joannina—a name which will rec al to our elder readers the in terest with which this region was regarded about 30 years ago. The powers which were afterwards to recognise and establish the independence of the present kingdom of Greece, had, in 1815, consigned these small States to destruction ; and, in succeed ing to the dominions of Venice, on the Dalmatian coast, Austria forsook the cause of those Christian communities which had, been upheld for ages against the Turk. Somewhat more to the north, in the recesses of the mountains included between the Pashalic of Scutari, the Herzegowine, and the Austrian fron tier at the Bocca di Cattaro, there still remains one of the most independent and the most warlike of these mountain clans....._.The.aistrid of Montenegro (for it is to that we re:fer) does not exceed 50 miles in length by 30 in. breadth. Its mountains are darkened with pine forests. The country is ill adapted for agricultural purposes, wild, and desti tute of roads. The inhabitants are armed shep herds, living with their flocks, ready for plunder, delighting in war. They are a pure Slavonian race, retaining their primiti• ve manners, professing for the most part the faith of the Greek Church, and go verned to the present day by their own patriarchal institutions. The Co urt of Russia has more than once testified a stmt. ng interest in this singular people, and has addressed friendly communications to their Wladika, or chief, under the pretext of their common religion. The most important family of the country seems to be that of Petrovitsch, one of whom, Peter Petrovitsch, exercised great authority in the tribo from 1770 to 1830, and his descendants figure in. the recent occurrences which now attract our attention to this subject. Attacks have frequently been z nade on Montenegro in earlier times by the Turkishi Pashas of Scutari, but in vain ; and since 1797, the very year in which the Republic of Venice was overthrown, the complete independence of the tribe has been admitted by the Porte. The strength of the native population may amount to about 20,000 warriors, for every ma n i s practised in the use of arms ; but besides the actual population of Montenegro, properly so c a ll e d, a considerable numbe r ,of families of the same race have gradually settled in the neighbouring Turkish provinces of Bosnia, the Herzegowine, and Scutari, who retain a near connexion with their kinsmen and their birthplace, and may possibly extend over a much wider field the .hostilities which have broken out in Montenegro. We are not yet in possession of any clear and certain account of the 'origin of this contest ; but we are informed by the German papers that a con siderable expedition agaiirtst Montenegro was already in preparation by the Porte, when the mountain eers, becoming aware of their danger, pounced on the dismantled fort of Z:abljak, drove out the feeble Turkish garrison, left 1,200 of their own men in the place, and so began the war. It can hardly be sup aprotsifiederyth,ata t o h d e s e but h i i h t l t a l d o s f h e t p h h e e r m d s a , t, o w r i h a o l have of a n r o , would thus have braved the military power of Tur key without very strong- motives or apprehensions. Certain it is, that within a short time of this occur rence, and, indeed, before it could be known at Constantinople, the Porte has proceeded to put in motion forces, both by sea and land, which seem strangely out of proportion to the enemy they are to encounter.. A squadron of Turkish men-of war, said to be commanded by the Captain Pasha in person, has entered the Adriatic, and a blockade of the Albanian coast is established from Dulcigno to the Austrian frontier. This is, however, a sin gular measure, for the coast thu s bl oc k a d e d i s Turkish territory. Montenegro itself is separated by a small strip of land from the sea ; and on the west it is contiguous to the Austrian territory, where, of course, the Turk s can exerc i se no di rect control. The Austrian Government has, however, also taken measures to prevent the passage of war like stores. By land the preparations of the Porte are still more considerable. Large bodies of regu lar and irregular troops are said to be concentrated in the Herzegowine, and Ismail Pasha is at Mostar, prepared to march southwards upon Stolatz and Gatzko. 'The Pasha of Scutari, Omar Pasha, who passes for one of the best generals in the Turkish army, was to operate on the other side of the ter ritory of Montenegro ; but upon his first attack he is said to have been severely handled by the enemy, and to have lost 600 men. All these par ticulars &re, however, still extremely vague, and we must wait for more authentic statements from the scene of action. offe r e But it is easy to perceive that whatever be the immediate result of this contfest, it is calculated to ed qu th e a st t i t o h n e s I r V a r are l° in li f t o i rm eal Porte, on the ground that made by the Emperor of a of serious mediation be the language of the Russiathe is rejected by the unfortunately obtained a enforce his rights against Sultan is resolved to Montenegro.

The world has made some progress in the last 30 years, though the old Turkish party may have remained stationary ; and atrocities like those perpetrated by Ibrahim Pas ha Albania in the Mores or Ali Pasha in would not be enduted by Christendom. DEATH OF FRANCESCO MADIAI. (From the Morning Advertiser.) one of the two The Church of Rome has had another victim. To the endless list of those whose lives she has be added expired in the ma exac d t ia e i d, F t ra he n r c e es i c s o, no w w to has justh o prison of Florence, through the combined effects of the closeness of his confinement in the dungeon to which he was consigned by Popery, and the severity of the labour to which he was subjected. N o thi ng short of his death would satiate the vengef u l s pi r it of the Romish Church, nor is it likely, unless some strong political pressure from some of the European Powers be applied to the Grand Duke, who is the veriest slave of the priests, that the surviving wife will ever cross the door of her dungeon a living woman. Our readers are aware of the " crime" for which the Madiai were doomed, the wife to 46, and the husband to 54 , months' imprisonment and hard labour. That crime was neither more nor less than the simple reading of the Bible in f, he privacy of their own humble abode. For tha• t offence the husband has paid the penalty of his 1 ife. He paid it cheerfully. He never murmured n•.or repined at his cruel doom. That Divine Power which endowed him with strength to renounce the c )rrors of Ro manism, enabled him, with a calmness ; and resigna tion which have never been surpassed,., to suffer and ,to die for his principles. The vent;eance of his priestly persecutors followed him to his dungeon, and clamoured loudly until it got his life ; but in the midst of all his sufferings, and in the h our of disso lution, he was happy—happier far tha 11 the Ducal Prince, or any of his Ministers, at whose instance the sentence was passed. It may not be known to all our read erg, that the Madiai were imprisoned in a loathso me dungeon ten 'months before the sentence was pa: ;sed on them, and that during all that time, as well :as in the in tervening months, they never were pel !mated. to see each other. To show the spirit in which these poor pious people met the fate to whic h the relent less spirit of the Church of Rome sub jetted them, we reprint the following letter, writ ten by Rosa Madiai to her husband, on the 7th of rune, the day before the sentence of 46 months' imp] risonment, in a dark and dismal dungeon, with hard . labour, was passed on her, and 54 months' impris onment in a similar dungeon, with hard labour, p; issed on her husband:— "My dear Madiai,—You know that 3 have always loved you, but how much more ought Itc love you now that we have been together in the batth of the Great King—that we have been beaten, but m )t vanquished. I hope that, through the merits of Jesus ( ;hrist, God our Father will have accepted our testimony, and will give us grace to drink, to the last drop, the r 'ortion of that bitter cup which is prepared for us, with returning of thanks. My good Madiai, life is only a iy, and a day of grief. Yesterday we were young, to-da fwe are old ! Nevertheless, we can say, with old Simeon , 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.' "Courage, my dear, since we know by 0 ie Holy Spirit that this Christ, loaded with opprobrium, • trodden down and calumniated, is our Saviour ; and we , by His holy light and power, are called to defend th e Holy Cross, and Christ who died for us, receiving H: is reproaches, that we may afterwards participate in Hi s glory. Do not fear if the punishment be hard. God, who made the chains fall from Peter, and opened the'doors of his prison, will never forget us. Keep in good spirits ; let us trust entirely in God. Let me see you cheerful, as I trust, by ' the same grace, you will see me cheerfu 1. I embrace you with my whole heart. "Your affectionate wife, " Ron A MADIAI." To make any observations on such a letter would only weaken its force. Who can rea dit without emotion—more especially now that In ) to whom it is addressed is no more, while she by • whom it was penned is still in chains in the loathso me dungeon from which it was written ? The blood of the martyrs, we are told 1, is the seed of the Church. The Papal power will, w e doubt not, soon be furnished with a striking proof .of this. The blood of the Madiai has been shed, un.ider circum stances of cruelty of which a demon rai ight well be ashamed. Not only was no crime of any k ind—always excepting the crime of reading the Bi ble—proved against the Madiai, but they were not e yen charged with any act of criminality. Two more inoffensive, harmless, amiable persons were not to be found in the Grand Duke's dominions. But this at mattered not to the Romish Church. They did not belong to her, and that was enough. They : might have committed every other crime under h Leaven—the greatest atrocities of which we have al iy record in history, --and these would all have be ,en forgiven by the Church of Rome ; but to renouni ce the errors of Popery, and betake themselves to th e reading of the Scriptures, were crimes too great to be forgiven by the Romish Church in this life, and, if she could h e lp it , t h ey would never be fort given in the life that i s t o come. Not satisfied wi th exacting the earthly life of one of the Madiai, th to Church of Rome rejoices with fiendi s h j oy i n t h e id ea, ground less though it be, that her imprecations : will follow him into the world to which she has ser it him. Bnt the malignant spirit of the Ron fish Church has carried matters somewhat too far .. • She has overdone the thing. The blood of tl ie innocent man whom she has deliberately murdered, will cry aloud throughout the whole Protestant world , against the demoniacal spirit by which the Church is actuated. Those who have till now entertained the opinion —which we for a long time v sere anxious to entertain—that the progress of civi lisation had considerably modified the persecutin g g• spirit of Popery, will now be convinced of their error. The conviction will be forced upon them, ' that their charity was at variance with the fact. • They can no longer resist the force of evidence in su• pport of the position that the Church of Rome is ju st as deeply imbued with the spirit of persecution a: ever. The great cause of the error which prevails so largely in this country with regard to Popery is, that we do not see it in its true light. ' The Church of Rome is on her good behaviour in Gr eat Britain. She is not herself. She is not allowed t. o show her self in her true colours. Here she is kept in due subjection. What she is, therefore, v. 'ith us, is a very different thing from what she wou Id be, were she mistress of her own actions. Wh ty does not Popery act in London as it does in Fh )rence ? Is it because the difference in the latitude of the two places makes a difference in the chara. )ter of the system ? Assuredly not. The reason v, 'hy our pri sons are not full to repletion with pers. ms charged with the crime of reading the Scriptur: is is simply this,—that the Church of Rome is in it in the as cendant here. Give her the same pOwei 7in London as she possesses in Florence, and we shall have Protestants dying m their dungeons in the metro polis, because they have been found wi th a copy of the Bible in their possession, just as w. 3 have seen the poor Madiai expiring, under the efl7ects of con finement and hard labour, in one of the cells of Florence. It will be a great point g wined when this view of the real character of Poper y shall have made its way to the minds of those w ho were not prepared for its reception. In this w; ay the mar tyrdom of Francesco Madiai will be of • unspeakable service to Evangelical truth. The death of Francesco Madiai, brought about by the slow lingering process of close < :onfinement in an unhealthy dungeon, and incessa; It hard la bour— of all deaths the most appalling.; to contem plate—will create a feeling of inte mse horror throughout the civilised world. Marty rdom at the stake or on the scaffold, as in days of yore, when Popery, being in the ascendant in our a wn country, kept Smithfield in a perpetual blaze, is; not nearly so formidable as the daily death for more than six months to which the poor Madiai were. subjected. So that, in reality, the Church of Rom. instead of becoming less cruel, has of late refined in her cruelty. Yet this poor pious man ne rver for one moment wavered in his resolution. He shrunk not from the certain death which stared him in the face. He met his doom with the courage o f a martyr, blended with the meekness of a confessor. The future was not only disarmed of all terrors to his mind, but was arrayed in the in ost radiant hues. This was the fruit of his faith . So far as nature was concerned, his position and i 'he prospect of dissolution, must necessarily have bee n appalling. Viewed through the usual medium, th. lirefore, the fate of Francesco Madiai must every' /ere excite emotions of mingled indignation and Ibr. wror. Even some of the Roman Catholics themselv -es must, we are sure, shudder at what their Churcl i has in this case done. It will inflict a heavy blow on Popery. It is a momentous fact—one pregnant with mean ing. It will do more, and go farther, to open the eyes of the public to the real char titter of the Romish Church in the second half of th e nineteenth century than years of discussion on t lie theology of Romanism, or of thousands of volumes written on the Protestant side of the controversy. And never let the great fact be forgotten.,that what Popery has just proved itself to be . . Florence, it is everywhere. And if the fruits or me uufestations of the system are not of the same kid id, the mo dification is to be solely ascribed to the restraints which the civil institutions of the con uitry impose upon it. CAPTURE or A GANG a OF BURGLARS.— .Through the instrumentality of Mr. Little, special high constable of the Hyde division, one of the most formed able gangs of burglars that ever infested this part of tilt I country has been broken up; and various members committed to Chester Castle for trial. The parties were 'brought up at the Hyde Sessions, when several ca ses o f hi )use b rea ki ng, &c., were proved against them. Their names are— Wm. Partington, John Smith, and Wm. Shuttleworth ; but in addition, three confederates, nam ed Elizabeth Nicholson, A. Moores, and Jane Shaw, females residing in Salford, who, it appears, were left to pledge th e pro perty for them after it had been stolen, were also brought up and committed along with them. The following were the burglaries proved against them :—Ort the 30th of November last, at the house of Mr. Benjamin Milling ton, engineer and surveyor, of Newt on M oor. The next case was the house of Mr. George Dean, of Brom law, on the 11th December. A rag warehouse in Duken field, on the 19th December, belonging to Alwm Smith. Many other cases might have been adduced against the prisoners, but it was thought to be unneoessary. Great satisfaction is expressed that these daring depredators have at length been caught • and from th e i r now well known character, it i s not likely that this part of the country will be t rou bl e d w i th them again for some time to 000 4—Mandator Courier. THE CONVICT KIRWAN.-THE NEW CHARGE. DUBLIN, MONDAY.—The Daily Express contains the following extraordinary disclosures : During the past week the greatest curiosity has been excited in the metropolis, in consequence of various rumours that gained circulation, to the effect that Kir wan, whose sentence has been commuted to transporta tion, would be again indicted for having committed addi tional terrible crimes. Many of these reports were com pletely groundless, and even the statements made con cerning the new charge actually preferred against this now notorious criminal weregrossly inaccurate. The police authorities have now numerous documents in their pos session, having taken several depositions, and are yet engaged in making the most active inquiries into the par ticulars of the crime, or series of crimes which have been preferred against Kirwan ; and, when some further necessary legal steps have been taken, the entire facts of the case will be laid before the public. At the present time, however, the ends of justice might be marred by a premature revelation of all the circum stances connected with this extraordinary case ; but we are yet enabled to give our readers several remarkable passages in the career of the convict during the last seventeen years, which will enable them to understand the grounds on which the present indictment is being prepared. The new informations have been taken in the case of Mrs. Downes Boyer against William Bourke Kirwan and others, for conspiring to r o b an d mur d er Willi am Downes oyer, a minature painter. It appears that in the commencement of the year 1836 Mr. William Downes Boyer resided with his wife in the house No. 4, Middle Mountjoy-street, and that up to that period, having been married upwards of 20 years, they lived on terms of the most mutual affection. Mr. Boyer was a minature painter, and had a collection of valuable pictures and other works of art. He became acquainted, with Kirwan in the month of May, 1836, and frequently invited him to his house ; and at this period Kirwan resided in Parnell-place, and also occupied two top rooms in the house of Mr. Walsh, the dyer in South King-street, where he carried on the profession of ana tomical draughtsman, but was principally occupied in colouring the Ordnance survey maps for the Dublin Government agents. About October, 1836, he induced Mr. Boyer to pay a visit to his house, and his father and himself, together with two sisters, one of whom has since died, it is alleged entered into a conspiracy to destroy the life of the old artist, who was then upwards of sixty years of age, and to get possession of his property which was considerable. When Mr. Boyer had been about three weeks residing with Kirwan (who during this period en deavoured, with too much success, by every means to alieniate him from his wife, by concocting unjust and un founded accusations against her), the letter persuaded the old man to consent to hand all his property, includ ing his bank book, containing receipts for lodgments to the amount of 2,5001., over to him ; and these were transferred to Kirwan's house in Parnell-place, from whence they were subsequently removed to Fleet-street, and from thence to D'Olier-street. The manner in which the pictures, furniture, and other property were removed from Mountjoy-street, where Mr. Bowyer's wife resided, is not the least remarkable feature in the case. Kirwan and seven or eight of his companions proceeded, between the hours of one and two o'clock in the morn ing, to the residence of Mrs. Bowyer, to which they gained admission on the plea that they had been sent by her husband ; the lady and her servant girl were locked up by them in one of the apartments, and the house was completely gutted of every article of value. For this burglarious offence Kirwan was prosecuted and tried be ' fore the Recorder, and was acquitted on a technical point of law. At this time Kirwan had in his employ. ment several young men, some of whom he took out of the Royal Dublin Society's schools, and engaged at mere trifling salaries to colour maps, and it is well known that, when unable or unwilling to liquidate the lawful demands that these assistants made against him for payment, he used to plead his poverty, and state that he wished to act honourably, but that his means did not permit him. In the year 1837, fresh proceedings were threatened by the friends of Mrs. Bowyer, which, how ever, were compromised, a deed of separation executed, and an annuity settled upon her, which has been regu larly paid by Mr. Vincent, the solicitor ; but from this period, and, in fact, for several months antecedent to it, Mrs. Boyer had never been able to see her husband, or to hear where he was residing. The amount yearly re ceived by the lady was 401. About this time, it is also asserted, that he seduced the servant girl who attended him in Walsh's house. In the same year (1837) Kirwan seduced a female connected with a highly respectable family, a Miss Jones, and after living with her for some short period he abandoned her, and left her in a very destitute con -*ion in Holyhead. This girl was since in Dublin, and died in a wretched condition a short time since. Imme diately on Kirwan's departure this unfortunate young woman became ill, and was confined to her bed for a period of seven months ; and, it was generally believed that her ill health was occasioned by recourse having been had to unfair means. On Kirwan's return to Dublin, Mr. Jones , a brother t o th e f ema l e i n quest i on, waited on him, and demanded an explanation of his con duct, with which demand Kirwan refused to comply, neither would he consent to a hostile meeting. Mr. Jones, finding that he could obtain satisfaction in no other manner, had a large number of placards printed and posted through Dublin, in which he gave a con densed sketch of Kirwin's life, and denounced him as a coward, a poltroon, and a hypocrite, and made use of other language of a violent nature. Kirwan employed several parties, his father and sisters amongst the number, to tear down these offensive publications, thinking by this simple means to destroy the evidence of his former conduct. Mr. Jones, however, was not contented with thus publishing an account of his wrongs, but watched Kirwan, and severely horsewhipped him. For this offence Kirwan prosecuted his assailant to con viction, but such was the impression on the Court, that it considered the law was fully satisfied by the verdict, and merely sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned until the rising of the court. It is as well to remark that the sessions were adjourned before half an hour had expired. About this time Mrs. Boyer made frequent applica tions at Kirwan's residence for information about her husband, but was told on each occasion by the convict that he did not know where Boyer was residing. In the commencement of 1839 she became more solicitous about him, and insisted upon ascertaining where he was living, or if he had left the country, and she was charged for annoyance by Kirwan's father ; and when the case came before the magistrates, and the peculiar nature of the transaction was explained, the charge was dismissed. This occurred on several occasions, and the cases were heard by different magistrates ; but when they ascer-. tained that the annoyance arose from the natural fact of a wife making inquiries concerning her husband the complaints were dismissed. In the year 1840 Mrs. Boyer obtained an interview with the Rev. Mr. Nixon, and that gentleman called upon Kirwan, but he refused t o g i ve any explanation, and denied that Mr. Boyer had ever resided with him, and all knowledge of' him, although previous to that date and ever since the annuity has been regularly paid to Mrs. Boyer by , Mc. Vincent, who has never yet asserted that Mr. D. Boyer was dead. During this year (1839) Kirwan's sister (who has since died) appeared much confused when asked about Mr: Boyer, and stated, after some searching questions had been put to her, that she had never seen him or known anything about him. When further questioned, how ever, she said she remembered Mr. Boyer, her father, and her brother, leaving the house on one evening together, that the convict and her father returned alone, and that she had never seen Mr. Boyer since. The girl, however, has since died, but it is believed that her sister, who is fully cognizant of all the particulars of this ex traordinary case, is still living in Dublin, and it is to be presumed she will be brought forward. In this brief sketch of his life, from 1837, of the con vict, no allusion has been made to his connexion and marriage with the unfortunate lady whose remains were found on Ireland's Eye, or the still more unfortunate but criminal connexion between the wretched man and Miss Kenny, as the particulars of these cases were fully entered into at the recent trial at Green -street. We may mention that the houses in Parnell-place, Fleet street, and D'Olier-street, have been carefully examined by the officers of the G division ; and it is generally believed that the kitchens and garden of the former place will be dug up on this day, as a strong suspicion prevails that Boyer has met with an untimely end, and that his remains are buried in some portion of the premises. Mr. John A. Dennis, the foreman of the jury who re turned a verdict of guilty against William Burke Kir wan, for the murder of his wife, has, on behalf of himself and ten other jurors, published a long statement in Saunders's News Letter, justifying the jury for the ver thteesEtizineocun dict they delivered, and replying to various imputations against them. He says :—" That verdict wa s kung y fr e o t m he us ex b p y re irr sse e s sis h t i i s bl gr e aantdinacalmtioonst that irr ha es t Government have been pleased to spare the lif convict." e of the DISCOVERY or OLD COINS. —An old cottage on a farm at Tenter-hill, in Whittingham, a portion of the glebe of Woodplumpton Church, and as such the property of the Rev. Isaac Mossop, incumbent of Woodplumpton, having lately been undergoing some repairs, the work people in removing the thatch, came to a piece of old woollen cloth, containing • large number of silver coins, which appeared to have been concealed therein. The coins are 301 in number, and comprise crowns, half crown s, shillings, and sixpences, of the reigns of Philip and Mary, Elizabeth, James I. and Charles 1., sove reigns of England, and some Spanish coins of the reign of Philip IV. When found they were almost black from soot, having been concealed in the roof, just over to the soot loft. Those that have been cleaned appear of be in excellent preservation. From the circumstance here gn . none of the coins - being of later date than hoard lead . i , been Charles 1., it is conjectured that the tthe ad D concealed by some careful housewife du t n h n e g fir li st times that marked the later years of t he than 5 lbs., azx The total weight of the "find " is more i though' to h muc h more. will be wort numis matists, of course, the coins its intrinsic value will be about 20 ~ Charles. tm ub troubled extensive and valuable exhibition of poull Ty . (the xst th. it has taken pl ace i n the metropolis), was -opened to the pi iblic to-d ay , i n the .Bazaar in —Baker-street, ithe same in which the cattle shows of the Smithfield CI ub are usuali 'y held. The exhibition was some time sir tce announce& I as being intended to be held at ikenningto n. present occup i e d , i n d uced the promoters 'to The great ar adva n t ages , however, afforded b y ,the pte liaises at bold the ezhibition hr Baker -street. A considerabie anion] it of interest has been evinced on the part of the friend.s of the show; and g.reat exertions have been made to re;nder it as complete as possible. Formerly, when the"bard-door," or "dunghill," w as the only breed known, It would have been absurd to have spoken of the advantages of an exhibition of poul try. We have now the far-famed Cochin China., the e Malays, the Spanish, the Dutch, the spangled Hamburg; the Prussian, the Polish, the Barbaiy, the Turkish, the Dorking, the Bantam, the Sussex, the Negro, the Silky, the Dwarf; the Frizzled, the Rumkin, and those other runner( tug breeds, for the names and qualities of which we must refer the reader to the exhibition i a Baker street, which is certainly one of the most intere: ding and complete collections of the kind which we have :yet seen. The number of entries in the show con uprises about ?,000 fowls, forming by far the most extensive propor tion, cons i sting of not less than 51 classes, including the different var i eties of Spanish fowls, Cochin China; fowls,. :Dorking, Malay, gold -pencilled Hamburg specimens, 8-olden-spangled Hamburg, silver-spangled Hambturg, Poland fowl, Bantams, and any other distinct breeds. The pigeon classes are thus divided—Pouters and crop pers, carriers, dragons, almond tumblers, short-faced tout beards, short-faced tumblers, Jacobines, owls, nuns, tun bits, fantails, barbes, magpies, small pouters, good fea thered f eath flyi nerged bald heads, good feathered flying beards, good flying biers, mottles, goo d f eathered flying ti =- birds. Ali and foreign may be supposed from the extreme mania, which at present prevails, the Cochin China fowls form the most prominent feature in 'the show. The value of good specimens of .this class appeared almost incredi ble. A pen, consisting of one cock and three hens, the property of Mr. Fairlie, of Cheveley-park, is valued at 60 guineas ; there is also one hen in the show recently imported by Mr. Catlin„ for which a sum of 30 guineas has been refused. At a sale of a quantity of fowls of this breed, which took place on the premises in Baker-street, 102 lots, comprising 110 birds, the majority of them being chickens of three or four months old, realised the sum of 3691, the highest price for a single bird being 20 guineas. For the eggs which are laid at the show ss. and 10s. are readily obtained, and not less than eight detectives are placed in the building, whose sole dtttz10 . ..... to see that n one o f th ese valuable commoes are -alp • stracted by visitors. It is not 'more than Tour or five years since this highly prized breed was first introduced into this country, the first specimens being sent as pre sents to her Majesty, who distributed some fowls bred from them among various persons likely to assist in pro moting their extension. The main point of d ifferenc between the Cochin China and the Malay it a in t) le comb ; that of the Malay appears as if a porti on of it had been cut off, while that of the Cochin China . is o f a moderate size, single, and slightly serrated. Ti ie it has been stated, " will sometimes lay two o r Uir •ee times in a day, and within a few moments of eacl i othe r." Authenticated instances of this kind appear, h owe. 'er, to be wanting. There can be no doubt whatev •er, d that in many points this breed fully deserves the hi igh • cha racter and celebrity which it has acquired, mo re a :spe cially with respect to the delicate flavour of the eggs, which are of a light chocolate colour, and the very early age at which the bird arrives at maturity. Among the novelties in the show is a p( m of S ;cotch fowls, called " Dumfries," or " beakies," of a. light speckled colour, and remarkable for the ext reme short ness of their legs ; in fact, it is only by close, observation that any trace of legs can be discovered. There is a pen of very beautiful Goura pigeons, and tioicne fine specimens of Australian pigeons. The collection of ducks, geese, turkeys, ar td - rabbits is extensive and valuable ; we must, however, refer the reader to the list of prizes, and above all to, tl ie exhibi tion itself, for more complete information, as to the numbers and qualities of the specimens which comprise this really interesting exhibition.
