,RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Iracm THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIM - ES. —The Paris papers, which we have just received, bring us the report of the trial and the sen tence of the now notorious Beauvallon. We need not remind our readers that this man escaped a capital conviction on the charge of murder, and that on the recent trial of his accomplice for the perjury by which such impunity had been secured, he ren dered himself again amenable to the law by returning with abutdant interest the false swearing which had been so serviceable to himself. Nearly two months have elapsed sine this occurrence, and it having been ascertained in the interval, by the preliminary inquiry which in France supersedes the forms of our grand juries, that a sufficient case existed fir the prosecu tion, the prisoner on Friday last was brought to the bar of the Court of Assize to plead to the charge against him. We must beg of our readers to observe the methods by which, in France, a person moving in distinguished literary society, and professing to cor rect and inform public opinion, endeavours to exempt himself from an. inculpation, alleging that he had been swearing and suborning false oaths in order to shield himself frori the penalties of murder. We will not trouble ourselves to pronounce an opinion as to the truth or falsehood of the circumstances on which the defence is based—we simply pray our readers to remark—what on either supposition may Ist most plainly inferred—the ideas which must be generally current in a society before which such pleas as these are confidently urged by one very competent to select those which promised best for his reputation and his release. The original charge against Beau vallon was to the effect that he had laid a plot for in volving a troublesome rival in a duel, that he had taken a tress:herons and deliberate advantage of his inex perienced adversary in every particular, and that he had at last coolly and circumspectly shot him through thkbrain with a pistol, of which he knew the exact capabilities, and which he had brought hot to the field from that very morning's practice. On this charge he was acquitted by the evidence of his second, D'Ecquevilley, who swore that Beauvallon bad never seen the pistols before. For this evidence D'Ecquevilley was tried as a perjurer in August last, and after endeavouring to clear himself by chal lenging VA witnesses against him, and asserting that his family was ranked among the noblesse of Franche Comte in the 17th century, was righteously con signed to infamy for the remainder of his life. This judgment, therefore, decided that the guilty fore knowledge of the weapons had been duly proved. But, as Beauvallon on this occasion swore to the contrary on behalf of his friend, even as his friend on the former occasion had so sworn on behalf of him, he himself now became liable to a similar charge, and the same evidence which convicted the second is consequently brought forward to convict his principal upon the self- same count. In due succession, there fore, the several witnesses appeared to prove that Beauvallon had risen early in the morning to practise at the target, that he had called to inform persons of his intentions, that he had deliberately gone through the exercise in the garden of his second while his doomed victim was shivering in the snow, and that the instrument was actually found black and smoking from the discharge by the surgeon in attendance. To all this Beauvallon replies simply by a contradiction, which carries, of course, the usual weight of su c h affirmations from the mouths of such culprits. His grand defence rests upon the demolition of the evi dence tendered: by M. Meynard, which was mainly instrumental in bringing the affair again before the public, and which originated these two trials of the second and his principal. The attack which is to destroy M. Meynard's credit and restore Beau vallon's character is conducted as follows :—Beau vallon alleges that Meynard's entire testimony is the invention of falsehood and the suggestion of spite, arising from the fact that the latter had been defeated by himself in a competition for the good graces of a certain lady. In corroboration of this assertion, and as witnesses to his own character, he adduces the only matter which beyond his own reiterations, he has hitherto employed in the shape of proof throughout the trial. He produces in court, with apparent re luctance, the private letters said to be addressed by this very lady to himself, immediately after that flight to Spain by which he had eluded the fine im posed on him by law for the support of his victim's widow. We trust that these effusions, which will be found in another column, may be care fully perused. So singularly do they insinuate facts in favour of Beauvallon—his compulsory participa tion in the duel—his distraction even after so blame less and ineviffible a homicide—and, as if by pro phecy, the persecution to which malice and envy would subsequently expose him—that a suspicion as to the pen from which they really proceeded could not possibly be repressed. " Was not this letter written for your own defence ? " asked the President of the delinquent, observing that it had neither post-mark nor other proof of authenticity. The pri soner's advocate adroitly demurred to such a ques tion, which the reader will perhaps answer for himself after perusing half a dozen lines. " Believe me," says the writer, "it is not necessary to have done people harm to be detested by them ; it is sufficient to be superior to them in every respect. Do you believe, for example, that you will ever be forgiven your success in the world, your position at the head of a widely-circulated journal, your book so much applauded, and those honourable decorations which you have obtained at the age of twenty-four ? Listen tell you that in less than three months you will pass—you, so good, so upright —you, soft ness incarnate—for a bully, with a hard heart and a pitiless hand." But, the true force of the whole allegation will not be felt till the reader arrives at the intimation that this lady, who administers consola tion, who deprecates treachery, who cheers the spirit and confirms the piety of the exile, who so rejoices at the intelligence that he is improving his "fine qualities " by the example of a Spanish Ministry, and his mind by the libraries of the Escurial, whose confidential devotion is exposed, and whose aeoond-hand praises are repeated in order that the latent virtue of her beloved correspondent may be made known to the world—is the wife of another man ! That high sense of honour which murderers and adulterers never lose in France precludes, of course, the disclosure of the lady's name, and M. Beauvallon throws himself with confidence on the delicacy of his countrymen in relying upon the un- AORed letters of an anonymous adulteress for esta blishing his unsullied innocence and clearing his clouded fame. We hope so bright an appreciation of himself, and so just a calculation of his audience as is shown by his selection of such a mouthpiece to proclaim his merits, will not be lost in this country. That they were not made without a little encouragement may be gathered from the following fact. M. Granier de Cassagnac, whose name figures with most equivocal credit in this nefarious murder, who is the brother-in-law of the assassin, and the owner of the famous pistols whirl} were lent for the deed—who, at the late trial, endea voured to intimidate the witnesses by challenging a dangerous deponent in the witness-room, and whose conduct: was rebuked in open court by the Pre sident, has so far retained the favour and confidence of his former gossips in high office that he has re cently been dispatched on a Government mission to Rome, there to represent in some sort the French nation, and advance French interests at that pivot of Christian politi cs . With such countenance to his friends and pa r t y , how hard it was of the Court of Assize to sentence M. Beauvallon to eight years' imprisonment ! HERALD.—The defenders of the " Peel system of currency," who are now falling into a wretched minority, are very fond of speaking of their oppo nents as " the Birmingham sect ;" meaning thereby to delude people into the notion, that, excepting a few followers of Messrs. Spooner and Attweod, the whole commercial community are well satisfied with the present beautiful system Yet, every now and then some broad and undeniable fact comes to light, which utterly destroys this illusion ; and then, all that these papers can do, is to try to evade such a fa ct by a convenient silence. Thus, we expect, w ill theyt deal with the following admirable resolution s , nalltna °u*lss adopted , las t week, by the Chamber of Commerce I , That t k city of Edinburgh : but Without Chamber has observed with regret, harea ssment, 6 a ise the great inconvenience, ems of this c lo ss , to which the commercial com munityoperation of certaittNias been exposed through the recently enacted for regu lating and controllinrjiZhr: business of banking in Great Britain and Ireland. "2. 'That the effect of this legisl ative interference has been to prevent the conversio n the proper time into the con of the requisite proportion of ea which can venient and necessary form of a currency pass from hand to hand, by Ewing t pa s t s , on an article of commerce which may h e '; gold foreign countries in the course of trade, atioariteed to time when a free and unrestri c t e d currency is most very required at home—the result o f w hi c h , under any circumstances, necessarily is to impede every branch of commercial and manufacturing industry ; and when the export is large, to cause embarrassments of the most alarming description. " 3. That, in the opinion of this chamber, no satis factory reason has been adduced to show that the banker or money-merchant should be more severely checked and hampered in his transactions than the merchant whose dealings are only in money's worth; or that the free and unfettered action of the one is not as indispensable to the healthy state of an in creasing commerce as the other. " 4. That Parliament having given its sanction to the formation of so many railways, and at the same time having afforded every facility for the free im portation of articles of food, has acted with manifest s inconsistency in interfering with and shackling the zonnetary system ; for ' with the right hand Govern the gre a t es t p os sible encouragement to i 0 74 ' rail ways, and does everything in its power r 4 °NIA tab, while with the left it fetters .' ,~~~ i ~ r ti y~~„ I _4 1~~, THE SUN, the hands by which these undertakings are to be car ried on, and renders the very causes which require an augmentation of the currency, the certain means of ruinously contracting it.' " 5. That in so far as the existing monetary laws neutralize the excellence of the banking system of Scotland, this chamber has always viewed them as directly subversive of the best interests of the coun try. Free competition in banking, a numerous pro prietary, unlimited responsibility, and a paper cur rency convertible into silver or gold on demand, has been by long experience matured into a system better suited to the wants and trade of the country, safer in itself, more economical and convenient, more impli citly relied on by an entire people, than any system ever devised by any state for the service of its sub jects ; a system which no state can give, and which no state ought to be allowed to mulitate or take away. " 6. That in the opinion of this chamber no effec tual remedy for the evils existing in the monetary affairs of this country can be pointed out short of the repeal of the various Acts to which these evils can be clearly traced." A more crushing and unanswerable exposure of the atrocious follies of the present system it is impos sible to conceive. And we should be glad to see the Chancellor of the Exchequer compelled to give a ra tional reply to it. Meanwhile, however, the car of our commercial Juggernaut rolls on, daily crushing its victims ; and the multitude, awe-struck or terror struck, do nothing to arrest its course I The Govern ment journal of last evening quietly says, " The pro perty of many substantial, or at least solvent, houses is being daily frittered away, however, by these sus pensions, and the chance of one or •two additional failures increases with every preceding stoppage. Some parties conceive that when all the corn paper and the bills of the other largest insolvent houses have arrived at maturity, the worst will be over; but this is tantamount to saying what we apprehend is too probable—viz., that unless some unexpected re lief is afforded, there will be firms drepping of weekly until Christmas." This is much the same thing as admitting, that by the time we reach 1848, half the merchants and wholesale traders of London will be in danger of bankruptcy. For, by that system of mutual dependence which always grows up in a com mercial community, every man largely engaged touches a dozen others; and, however safe his posi tion may have seemed, the fall of three or four of the number almost inevitably shakes his footing. Such is the present state of affairs in the metropolis of com merce I Is it necessitated by any bygone events ? Surely not. But why, then, do the merchants of London endure it, without imperatively demanding the removal of the cause ? WORCESTERSHIRE AGRICUL TURAL SOCIETY. WORCESTER, SATURDAY.—The annual meeting of the Worcestershire Agricultural Association was held here yesterday, and considering the decline which has been noticed in many of the provincial agricultural associations, this meeting was a very successful one— in some points it exceeded all former meetings of the society. The proceedings of the day consisted of ploughing matches, digging matches, exhibition of stock, roots, corn, fruit, and agricultural implements, closing with a dinner in the evening. The ploughing matches were not well contended, and in the show-yard there was observed a falling off in the number and quality of sheep and pigs exhi bited. The agricultural implements, however, were first rate, and were the largest collection ever got together here or at any other neighbouring meetings. The chief premium for the best collection was divided between Messrs. Proctor and Ryland, of Birming ham; and Messrs. Webb, of Worcester. Lord Ha therton, Sir Thomas Winnington, late M.P. for Be wdley ; Sir John Pakington, M.P.; Mr. Foley, M.P. ; General the Hon. H. B. L ygon , M.P. , an d many eminent agriculturists, attended the cattle and implement exhibition. Among the bulls shown was one which took a prize at the Royal Agricultural So ciety's meeting at Southampton. About 2401. was distributed in prizes for cattle, corn, roots, fruit, implements, and in rewards to agri cultural labourers for long and faithful servitude. The dinner took place in the evening, at the Crown Hotel. About one hundred and fifty gentlemen sat down at half-past four o'clock, Mr. C. E. Hornyold, of Blackmore Park (president for the year), in the chair. Among the company were Mr. Foley, M.P., Sir Thomas Winnington, Mr. James Taylor, Hon. General H. B. Lygon, M.P., Mr. H. Lechmere, Hon. and Rev. W. W. C. Talbot. Mr. P. V. Onslow occupied the vice chair. After the usual toasts had been given from the chair, The Hon. WILLIAM COVENTRY gave the health of the chairman, to which that gentleman responded in a brief speech. The " Members for the County" (replied to by General Lygon and Mr. Foley), the " Members for the City," and other local and appro priate toasts, were afterwards given and responded to, hut nothing of interest transpired until— Mr. T. G. CIIRTLER rose to give "The Health of the Members of neighbouring Agricultural Societies." In the course of his remarks introducing this toast, Mr. Curtlet urged the necessity of increased exertions being made by the farmers, in thesebaNeted timer, to increase the produce of their : farrns., It behoved landlords, also, he said, to. aid, their tenaufs.—(Hear, hear.) They were now thrown upon their own re sources, and the time was arriving when the landlords must go without their rents, unless the produce of both corn and stock could be considerably increased beyond what it now was in that county, for it was impossible that they could go on as they now were. —(Hear, hear.) It was, however, impossible that any considerable incrase in the produce of the land could be obtained unless the landlords took mea sures for assisting and encouraging their tenantry.— (Hear.) Unless this was done when the effect of the present position of the agricultural interest should be come to be fully felt, in the course of three or four yeare' time, the land must of necessity to a consider able extent, and especially the heavy land, go out of cultivation.—(Hear, hear.) He cordially concurred in the remarks made the other day by Lord Lyttleton at the Stewpony meeting, on the subject of the ridi cule which had been attempted to be passed by a certain portion of the press on the rewards to agri cultual labourers, and contended that much might be accomplished through the instrumentality of these associations to advance the condition of the agricul tural labourer, and especially if the Legislature would assist in that worthy object. The lot of the honest labourer was very deplorable, for after all their long and faithful service they were left in their old age to share the common lot of the most despicable of their class in the common workhouse. He thought that if the parish had the voluntary power of erecting a num ber of cottages by degrees throughout the country— a certain number of cottages to a certain extent of land —and spreading the cost over a number of years, they might by these means rescue the honest la bourer by degrees from that fate which awaited him in his old age, the common fate of paupers. Mr. FOLEY, M.P., in replying to this toast, said he concurred in Mr. Curtler's remarks. Mr. F. WOODWARD (one of the guests at Drayton Manor a fortnight ago), also replied to this toast. After some remarks on the application of chemistry to agriculture, Mr. Woodward addressed himself to the question of tenant-right. Generally speaking, he agreed with the system of leases, but there were exceptions to it, and, therefore, he was for the adoption of the principle of remunerating an offgoing tenant for the improvements he had effected, and the money he had laid out on his farm. Under the present system he might take a farm, and in the first two or three years lay out as many thousand pounds in improvement, but his landlord might at that time, if he chose, turn him out without a farthing of corn pensation.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped, therefore, that this question would be taken up by the farmers, and pressed upon the attention of the Legislature in the ensuing session. —(Cheers.) The Cuantman then gave "The tenantry of Wor cestershire, and may they ever meet with a corres ponding liberality on the part of the landlords." Several other toasts were given, but nothing fur ther of general interest transpired in the course of the evening. Mr. Foley, M.P., offered a premium of 51. for the best crop of Sweep turnips of not less than six acres. BELYAST.—DINNER TO D s : R. Ross, EsQ.—On Thursday evening last a numerous and respectable party of the personal friends and supporters of the late repre sentative of Belfast, D. R.

He was out shooting at Kingsteignton on Thursday afternoon, and while in the act of reloading one of the barrels of his fowling- Piece, the other exploded, and the charge passing through his head, he was killed on the spot.— Western Times. THE WEATHER. —We have been visited during the week with weather unusually wet for the present month; and the show-board in the Exchange News-room has been decked nearly every day with the stereotype tele graphic announcement, "no co mmunication for fo " There have, indeed, been occasional glimpses of sa g a . - shine, but only sufficient to make its absence the more felt. At the time of our going to press the wind was southerly, and there were no indications of the weather clearing up.—Liverpool Albion. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The steamer Antelope has arrived off the port, from Brazil. THE LATE MADAME ALBERTAZZI.—The Queen- Dowager, with her usual liberality and benevolence, has sent a donation of 101. to Mr. Frederick Beale, 201, Re;ent•street, for the benefit of the children of the late favourite vocalist, Madame Albertazzi. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1847. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 11 (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN THE INSOLVENCY OF C. W. HAGGETT. The insolvent, a gentleman who resided at Maiden head, in Berkshire, applied for his final order, sup. ported by Mr. Duncan and o pp ose d b y M r . Cooke. The application was founded upon a special affi davit and the certificate of a physician, setting forth that the insolvent's health is in a precarious condition. Mr. Raggett's father was the proprietor of White's Club-house, in St. James's ; he bequeathed to the insolvent an annuity of 541. a year for himself; 501. a year to his wife, over which she was to have entire control; and 501. to his children, with which he could not interfere. The property out of which these several annuities arose was placed in the hands of trustees, and there was a clause in the will by which they were bequeathed, making the annuity to Mr. Rag gett voidable whenever he should be insolvent. The case came on for hearing about six months ago. The debts were about 2501. A strong opposition was raised by several country creditors, and an offer of 301. or 501. a year for the payment of the debts by in stalment was rejected. Since then the insolvent has been in prison. Mr. COOKE now contended that his Honour ought not to interfere on the insolvent's behalf. The debts still remained unpaid, although the insolvent was, in fact, in the enjoyment of an annuity of 1541. a year. He was willing to consent that protection should be awarded from time to time in case the insolvent allocated a portioa of his income to the payment of his debts. Mr. DuNcari said, his client had by his incarcera tion expiated the debt, and contended that his Honour could not refuse to grant the final order, as the in solvent had not control even over his own portion of the 1541. a year, it bein g vo id a bl e b y i nso l vency. I t . was altogether the power of the trustees to con tinue or discontinue the allowance. The COMMISSIONER said, that under those circum stances he would grant the final order. account for the week ending the 16th, he included the payment of 4s. on the 13th of August, and he produced as his voucher the wharf note. Mr. lorry, cross• examined him—He had been out of employment some time before - Messrs. Hocking engaged him. He kept the petty cash account, and accounted to Mr. Hocking. He was once deficient 10s., and till he could make out how this was, he told the prisoner to say he had 10s. in hand, if Mr. Hock ing should ask, when, in fact, he had not 10s. At least something of that kind occurred, which he could not distinctly remember. The prisoner had the care of the vouchers. James Taylor, of 27, Change-alley, stated that he was formerly in Messrs. Hocking's employ. The prisoner accounted to him on the 9th of August, and one of the vouchers he produced was that for Is. 101., alleged to have been paid on the 4th of August. A number of other charges of falsifying entries of carriage in the parcel book, charging booking where the railway took none, and altering wharfage receipts, were entered into. Mr. Alderman HUNTER, however, thought, as the crime amounted in law to forgery, the Court would not be likely to try the prisoner on more than .three indictments, and he should confine the prosecution to the three cases above detailed. Mr. lorry said, he understood the charge at first to be one of obtaining money by false pretences, but if it were deemed a case of forgery, then the evi dence fell short of proving who had made the altera tions. The figures were not shown to be in his writing. Mr. Alderman HUNTER said, he took it to be a case of uttering, knowing the receipts to be altered, for the purpose of defrauding his employers. He should com mit the prisoner for trial, but remand him, that the depositions might be prepared. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Patrick Hurley, a labouring man, was charged with having resisted and assaulted Police constable Jessop, of the H division, while in the exe cution of his duty. The policeman stated, that while on duty in Thrall. street, Spitalfields, at 8 or 9 o'clock on the preceding evening, he saw a number of young men congre gated beneath a gas-lamp, gambling with halfpence, 'and, observing a boy in the act of climbing up the lamp-post, with the apparent intention of extinguish ing the light, he pulled him down and gave him a slight push, which caused him to fall. An immediate outcry was raised by the bystanders that he had kicked and killed the boy, which brought out the mother of the lad from an adjoining house, who com menced abusing him for ill-using her child, and called out the prisoner, who advanced towards him with a pair of fire-tongs, struck him with them several severe blows, and then retreated into his house, the door of which he secured. While endeavouring to effect an entrance, he was assailed with a perfect shower of stones, brickbats, and other missiles of a similar description from a mob of at least 150 persons who had collected around him, and he was at last compelled to use his staff i n self-defence until another officer came up, when the prisoner gave himself up to the latter constable, and was conveyed to the station. house. In cross-examination by Mr. Vann, who appeared for the defence, the policeman admitted that he had struck the wife of the prisoner upon the head with his truncheon while her husband was entering his house, causing a wound which bled profusely, but de clared that the woman had attacked him first, and that he then bore the marks of her finger-nails upon his hands. In answer to this, Mr. Vann stated that he was not only instructed to give a total denial to the charge, but that he had numerous witnesses in attendance, who could prove that the policeman himself had acted with such a degree of wanton and brutal violence upon the occasion as to show incontestably that he was a gerson totally unfit to discharge duties of such, a nature as those he had been intrusted with. The learned gentleman then called Charles Brackley, a cabinet-maker, who stated, that while standing at his own door at the time in question he saw the prisoner's son, a boy of only eight years of age, playing with some of his schoolfellows near his father's house, when the policeman came up, and without any apparent provocation seized him by the collar, repeatedly slapped him in the face, and then kicked him so violently that he was knocked down in the road. On hearing the cries of her son the prisoner's wife came out and asked him what he meant by such conduct, when he instantly struck her on the face, and on her husband interposing for his wife's protection struck him in the face also. The prisoner upon this retreated into his house, and his wife was in the act of following him, when the constable struck her such a violent blow upon the head with his truncheon, that the blood poured out in a stream from the wound, and she fell back into the arms of a female bystander, who con veyed her with assistance to the house of a neighbour ing surgeon, by whom her injuries were dressed. Upon observing the treatment his wife had sustained the prisoner immediately sent for another policeman to protect him from the complainant's violence, but before the arrival of the second constable the com plainant commenced dealing blows with his truncheon indiscriminately upon the persons surrounding him, and, amongst others, upon the witness, who received a severe bruise and _afterwards,burst.open..the pri, iii. r idoOr.w 7 iii such vidence 'that its hinges were .completely forced off. The constable whom the pri soner had sent for at length came up, and the prisoner at once placed himself under .his charge, and went quietly with him to the station-house. Two respectable looking married women, named Bewley and Sedgwick, confirmed the evidence of the last witness in all its leading particulars, and the latter witness added, that just before he had assailed the little boy, as before described, she had observed the constable staggering along the street in such an unsteady manner that she felt perfectly satisfied he must have been intoxicated. Inspector Ellis, who received the charge at the station-house, said that when the prisoner was brought there he at once preferred a complaint against the constable to the same effect as the witnesses had just detailed, but the constable appeared to him to be" per fectly sober. Mr. Vann intimated that he had several other wit nesses in attendance, who could depose to the same facts, if the magistrate considered it necessary to hear their evidence ; but Mr. Heasimm. said that he 'had beard quite suffi cient to satisfy him that the police-constable had grossly exceeded his duty in assailing a child of such tender age in the wa y i n w hich it was conclusively proved that he had done, and that the prisoner had only acted with the natural feelings of a father in in terposing for his son's protection. With regard to the constable's subsequent violence towards the child's mother, he was unable at that time to enter upon it ; but he should at once order the prisoner himself to be discharged, and direct an immediate representation of the facts of the case to be forwarded to the propel authorities, who would no doubt cause a searching investigation to be instituted into the Conduct of the officer. Inspector Ellis intimated that a report of the case, together with the magistrate's observations, would be forthwith laid before the Police Commissioners, and the prisoner, who seemed to be a hardworking indus trious man, was thereupon liberated. THAMES. Jane Smitkers, described as a sempstress, and to be 30 years of age, who refused to give her addr ess , was brought before Mr. Yardley, on a charge of stealing 28 yards of Orleans cloth from the shop of Mr. John Berriman, linendraper, in High-street, Shadwell. The prosecutor said, the prisoner entered his shop about half past one o'clock yesterday, while he was attending to a customer, and several others were ar ticle, n e g . a t obbee gaves r v e h d e . r aSnh answer, asked tha and price relu o e f s te a d n. a b l er to be seated. The prisoner said she was in no hurry at all, and sat down. Directly afterwards he had occasion to leave the shop, and was not absent half a minute. As he was entering the shop again he saw the prisoner leaving it very quickly, and at the same time missed a piece of black Orleans cloth from a box near the door. lie immediately went after the pri soner, and overtook her about 200 or 300 yards from the house, with the Orleans cloth wrapped up in an apron under her shawl. He took it from her, and gave her into custody. The prisoner asked the prosecutor if she did not at once- say when asked if she had the Orleans cloth, that she had got it ? Mr. Berriman—Yes, you did. The prisoner —And gave it up to you, Berriman. The prosecutor (surprised)—You did, after I found it under your shawl. The prisoner very adroitly wished to leave an im pression on the magistrate's mind that a tender inti macy had existed between her and Mr. Berriman. She said she was a married woman, and had fre quently been to his shop. She could not expose him without exposing herself, but he knew very well that he had given her permission to take any article she liked from his shop, and she availed herself of that permission. Berriman The prisoner—You know I was at your shop on Sunday morning. h y e kdniedwnot hergive a s t e h n e m iwomancoming t o t the shop occasionally to make purchases. e that ? The question Orleans cloth. Mr. YARDLEY—WeII, what of H s e ai o d nl is, whether you stole the The prisoner—Well, not add -to his disgrace or my own. Mr. Berriman said, he never authorised the pri lperoonpledrteyxp before or h e ini nse o but r i not will psonei to take anything out of his shop, or treated her otherwise than as a customer in the practice of making small purchases. The prisoner—lt's false ; how dare you nNto s o ay e. a9 b s st e o f o dK r y e , the Court thatAiu when yll o e u hn nevertaoopk gave police-constable, tich ee e m por e ni ss a ot n an 3 be i g ? e r I own I have done it ; my f am i ly are in s s h t t lE te s ci l ai e i d a h s at ,, great distress." The prisoner —That is true. My family are in great distress. He has authorised me to take things, or I should not have helped myself to the piece of Orleans cloth. He asked me to sit down, and wait till he was at leisure. An Irish girl then brought a glass of porter to him, and because I did not wait till the shop was cleared he came after me. Mr. Berriman repeated that he had never per mitted the prisoner to take anything out of his shop, but he thought that he had seen her in the shop frequently. The prisoner —Thought you had, indeed ! Mr. YARDLEY said, the robbery was positively sworn to, and the property was found upon the pri soner. It was therefore his duty to commit her to Newgatq for trial. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Eleanor and Maria Hughes, mother ' and daughter, coffee-shop keepers in the Waterloo road, were summoned for unlawfully detaining a quantity of female apparel, the property of Elizabeth Newlyn. The complainant, a respectable-looking young woman, stated that she was the daughter of the house keeper of the County-hall at Winchester, and resided with her parents up to the month of June last, when she became acquainted with a man named Pearce, who had come down from London and represented himself as holding a situation in the Custom-house. He made overtures of marriage to her, and promised that if she came t o L on d on w ith hi m h e would marry her there, and that they should establish themselves at a house in the Kent-road which he was then in treaty for, and advised her to bring away all her clothes and whatever other property she possessed, and not to acquaint her family of their intentions until the ceremony of their marriage took place She listened to his solicitations, and accordingly left home, bringi ng w ith her all that she possessed, amongst which were a watch, gold brooch, and other articles of jewellery. On their arrival in town Mr. Pearce took her to the coffee-shop belonging to the defendants, in the Waterloo-road, and introduced her as his wife, informing her his reason for taking her there to be in consequence of the house he had taken in the Kent-road not being yet prepared for their re ception. He also said that the ceremony of their marriage must be postponed for a short time owing to unforseen circumstances, and he prevailed upon her un der the delusive promise of making her his wife, to re main with him at the defendants' house, where they lived together for several weeks, he putting off the d' of their marriage, and making various excuses for not fulfilling the engagement, until at length he left the place altogether in debt for seven weeks' rent, besides other charges, amounting to between 71. and al. As soon as he was gone, which he effected without acquainting her, taking with him her watch and some other articles of jewellery, the defendants laid claim to her clothes, and swept them all off for the arrears of rent due to them, although she repre sented to both mother and daughter the circumstances in which she was placed, and the cruel treatment which she had experienced at the hands of the man by whom she had been decoyed away from a respect able home, owing to the repeated promises he had made of marrying her. Since then she had made application for the restoration of her clothes, but the defendants refused to part with anything until the debt Mr. Pearce owed was liquidated, which she was unable to settle, and she would have been reduced to utter want, had it not been for the kind treatment she experienced from a family named Wilson, in Webber street, who had taken her in and sheltered her since her desertion by Pearce. In veply to Mr. COTTINGHAM, the complainant said that it had been discovered that Pearce had a wife and two children, and all that he had asserted about his being in treaty for a house in the Kent-road were fabrications. He formerly lived in Winchester, but had not visited that place for 13 years, until the time she had the misfortune of meeting with. him. She had not yet represented her situation to her family owing to what had happened to her, but was convinced they would again receive her. She added, she was destitute of clothing, in consequence of the defendants having claimed all. The defendants explained the amount of the deb( the complainant and kr. Pearce incurred while living at their house as man and wife, and that, on finding he had absconded, they levied a distress on the articles in their apartment. They contended that they were justified in the manner in which they had proceeded, and considered that an imposition had been practised upon them, owing to the parties having taken the apartments and passed as man and wife, a character to which they were not entitled. They added, that the goods belonging to complainant had been what is termed " bought in," and that she could have them again on paying the rent, &c. The MAGISTRATE then advised the defendants, under the circumstances, to curtail the amount of their bill, so that the complainant might be able to meet it, and to give her up her clothes.. The defendants assented to the suggestion, and the complainant then intimated that the family who had acted so humane a part towards her had resolved on having Pearce taken into custody. WANDS WORTH Yesterday, -as the magistrate was vacating the bench, John News, a mild and inoffensive, looking 140, elevea yews of age, was brought in by. Ottley,. 190 V, a policeman in plain . clothes, and charged with stealing five small pears, valued at a halfpenny. The constable said he saw the prisoner and another boy less in size throwing at some pears growing in Mr. Oxley's enclosed garden, St. Anne's-hill. Pre sently the prisoner got over the paling and returned with five pears, when he took him into cus t o dy. H e knew nothing of the prisoner previously. Mr. PAYNTER said the lad's countenance did not look like a thief's ; what did he do for a living ?—The boy, who was in his shirt sleeves, and had evidently very recently left off work, said he was employed at Mr. Bell's match manufactory in Garret-lane, where his father was also employed ; he admitted having taken the pears, and was very sorry, but the other boy was quite as bad as he. Mr. PAYNTEE asked the prisoner what he earned a week, and he replied 10s. The largeness of the sum compared with the lad's youth appeared to create some surprise to the magis trate. Mr. PAYNTEU observed, that the prisoner was liable to imprisonment for six months, but as this was his first offence he would only fine him lOs. and the value of the pears, and in default commit him to Kingston gaol for 14 days. The prisoner was removed in custody. THE HOP GROWERS. (From the Kentish Gazette.) On Saturday a numerous and highly respectable meeting, composed of the principal hop growers of the East Kent district, was held at the Royal Foun tain Hotel, Canterbury. The untoward position of monetary affairs exercises an injurious influence in every department of trade and agriculture through the country, and the hop growers, who are heavily taxed for their own pro ductions, are not exempt from the baneful effect. The question for discussion at this meeting was the necessity of applying to the Board of Excise for a postponement of the period for the payment of the duty fixed for November next, and the most advisable means tp adopt by which to suceed in this important, and, to a large body of agriculturists, most momen tous object. C. Neame, Esq., was unanimously called to the chair, and the following proposition was carried with out a dissentient voice : " That a committee of the following gentlemen be appointed for the purpose of carrying out the opinion of this meeting, that an application be made in the proper quarter to obtain a postponement of the pay ment of the hop duty payable in November next, and that such committee do immediately take such steps as they consider proper for effecting this ob ject:—Right Hon. S. R. Lushington, J. P. Plumptre, Esq., M.P., IV. Deedes, Esq., M.P., Sir B. W. Bridges, Bart., Sir E. C. Dering, Bart., N. J. Knatch bull, Esq., W. 0. Hammond, Esq., J. Neame, Esq., C. Neame, Esq." We have to congratulate our hop growing friends upon this step of the East Kent cultivators, and, fur ther, upon the highly influential gentlemen placed upon the committee. At the present price of hops, to force a sale the grower must submit to a ruinous sacrifice ; and there is no doubt, unless the authorities grant the prayer of the committee, the sacrifice must be made to effect the payments. A simultaneous course of action through the hop districts would, we have no hesitation in believing, crown the effort with success. THE ECLIPSE AT PARIS.—But little could be seen of the eclipse which took place on Saturday morning, the sky being cloudy until about ten minutes after eight, at which period the most interesting moment was over. The moon had then gone beyond half the sun, and the latter body had the appearance of a crescent. The whole terminated at two minutes to nine, but the end could not be very clearly seen, a number of clouds remaining the whole time flying about. LIEUTENANT MUNRO.—This unfortunate gentle man recently addressed a letter to Mr. Urquhart, one of the Council of Inverness, expressing his sincere thanks for the promptitude with which that gentleman and his colleagues petitioned her Majesty in his behalf. Lieu tenant Munro at the same time expressed his gratitude to Providence for the unive r sa l sympat hy wh ich has b ee n evinced towards him. WEST RIDING REVISION.—The West Riding re vision is now over, but never since the passing of the Reform Bill did-it excite so little interest. The result is understood to be a gain to the Liberals of from 290 to 300. But of course this estimate partakes of the vague uncertainty which marks the boundary between the parties erewhile denominated Liberals and Conser ver ires.--Bradford Observer. THE ARCHBISHOP or YORK —This venerable prelate completed bis 90th year on Sunday last, and we gratified to say is in the enjoyment of his customary ex cellent health. His Grace received the several members of his family to dinner in the evening, at Biehoi)therpe. DEMERARA RAILWAY The first half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Mr. M. McChlery occupied the chair. The seal of the eompany having been affixed to the register of the proprietors, The SECRETARY (Mr. h. Hill) read the following report : " The directors have much pleasure in stating that considerable progress has been made in carrying out the powers of the Act authorising the construction of this railway, and that the position of the company's affairs, as regards the present state of the works, and the prospect of future success, are highly satisfactory. "By the exertions of the Colonial Committee of Management, aided by the judgment of the engineer, Mr. Catherwood, several very valuable lots of land and buildings have been secured to the company, at a moderate price, in the most eligible part of George Town, which have all the desirable requisites for the establishment of a principal terminus. An advan tageous purchase has also been made of a piece of land in the immediate vicinity of the town, on which, besides its intended application to other useful pur poses, a manufactory of bricks is now in the course of being established, from which a great saving of expense in that article may be confidently expected. "No further purchases of land will now be required except for a site of the smaller terminus at Mahaica, and for a portion of the line of road of the railway; and on this latter head the directors have every reason to hope that the expenditure will be comparatively light, for the majority of the proprietors in this dis trict have, since the last meeting, liberally ceded to the company, gratuitously, the quantity of land re quired on their estates for that purpose, and it is hoped that an equally favourable result will attend the renewed applications lately made to several others of the proprietors who are known to be most favour ably disposed to this undertaking. " Since Mr. Catherwood's return to the colony, a new survey of a part of the east coast district has been made, and an improved line laid down for that portion of the course of the railway, which possesses the advantages of shortening the distances between the termini, and of preventing all possibility of the railway . being injured by any encroachment of the sea, and of affording increased accommodation to several of the estates on the line. " A plan and .section in conformity with this last survey have been duly registered in the colony, and all the other formalites required by the Act having been complied with, the directors have much gratifica tion in stating that, the ceremony of turning the first sod' was performed on the 19th August last by his Excellency Governor Lyle, who was attended' by the colonial heads of departments, all the members of the committee, and numerous others, his Excel lency on this occasion evincing, as he has ever done, the lively interest which he takes in the progress of the works, and his desire to promote the success of the undertaking by every means in his power. "An account, in detail, of the progress of the works to the middle of August last, will be found in the engineer's report; and the direc tors have the satisfaction of adding that they have also received a letter of a late date from Mr. Catherwood, in which, after repeating his convic tion that the line will prove highly remunerative,' he further says, 'Nor do I at present see reason to fear that the estimated cost (low as it is) will be ex ceeded, or if at all, but by a comparatively small sum.' "In order that all proper dispatch might be used in the carrying out of this undertaking, the directors have, from time to time, sent out to the colony ex perienced artificers, in the selection of whom great care has been exercised, together with such a supply of machinery and implements as was calculated to . further the progress of the works, and there now seems no reason. to douht from, the last communication received from Mr. Catherwood, that within six months froiti the preterit. time the,rst few miles of the rail.; way will be opened foi traffic—an event of much importance to the interests of the shareholders—as the directors will be enabled to apply the returns from this source towards the further expenditure to be in curred for the works. " That due economy has been observed by the di rectors in the management of the fund entrusted to them will appear from the accompanying general statement of the accounts, which shows that out of the original deposits by the shareholders on the formation of the company, they had in hand on the 30th ultimo, the day on which the half-yearly accounts were made up, a balance of 10,7081. Os. 3d. " Liabilities, however, have been incurred on account of the company, for which it is necessary that immediate provision should be made, and anxious as the directors have naturally been during the pre sent depressed state of the money market to defer making any demand upon the shareholders, such a course is now indispensable in order to enable them to meet their engagements becoming due, and to pro ceed with the undertaking. " They propose to limit the present call to 21. 10s. per shah, an amount which they trust will be readily responded to by the shareholders. "The directors cannot conclude without expressing their own unabated confidence in the success of this undertaking, and bearing their willing testimony to the zeal and energy displayed by the local committee threcgineer,— in the performana; 'of their respective, duties. Their services have beeh hitherto very valuable to the company, and the • di rectors continue to receive assurances from them that they will not relax in their endeavours to promote, in every possible way, the success of this undertaking. " The directors have now to submit to the share holders a statement of the accounts of the company, from its formation to the 30th ultimo, examined and signed by the auditors." The accounts from the commencement up to the 30th of September showed the receipts to have been 63,1931. 14s. 10d., the expenditure 52,4851. 14s. 7d., and the balance 10,7081. Os. 3d. Colonel WARREN disapproved of the payment o: 1,5001. a-year to the directors-1,0001. to the direc tors here and 5001. to those located in Demerara He considered it an extravagant sum for the direction of a railway only twenty miles in length. The direc tors of the Colchester line, which was fifty-two miles In length, only received 6001. a year; and as he con• sidered the sum too large, and that all the manage ment was on the other side of the water, and not here, he proposed that the sum should be reduced to 400/. The motion was not seconded, but Mr. A. F. RIDGWAY rose and opposed the motion. The sum, in his opinion, was not too large for the laborious and valuable services of the directors. They must not look to the length of the line for the means of judging as to the amounts which they should receive ; that was no criterion. They must look to the vast amount of labour they had devoted to their duties, to their careful examination of the resources of the country which the railway traversed, and to the care which they had taken to place their shares in the hands of bond fide persons. Mr. Ridgway entered at some length into the resources and increasing prosperity of the colony, and showed, from the increased consumption of the colony, how valuable the railway would become, and how necessary it was to give the direc tors cause to be vigilant in their service. He begged to second the adoption of the report. The CHAIRSIA/4 said, at the last meeting 14001. was voted to the directors for their services for the ensuing twelve months. The meeting was a nume rous one, and the motion awarding them this remune ration did not come from the directors, but from the meeting. He questioned much whether they would get even one person to devote his time in the colony to the railway for 5001. They must recollect that it was necessary to have two boards. The directors had deferred making calls to the last moment, but they regretted that they could not defer doing so any longer. The eext call would take place imme diately. The report was then adopted, and the motion of Colonel Warren having fallen from the want of a seconder, A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. ASHTON•TINDER•LYNE.-MEETING OF SPINNBREI, —An important meeting of the operative cotton spinners" of this town and neighbourhood took place on Thursday evening, at the Brougham's Arms, Ashton. The meet ing was composed of delegates from all the shop meet ings which have been held during the week, and they announced the determination come to by the spinners at each firm. From the statements handed in, it appears that twenty-one firms have now given notice of a reduc tion. The spinners employed at twenty of these firms have come to the unanimous resolution to have a cessation from labour, which cessation will commence on the 21st inst. It was resolved not to hold a general meeting upon the subject, as such meetings tended to mislead them.— Manchester Guardian. SINGULAR TURN OUT AT ILKESTON, DERBY -811/RE.—The workmen employed by Messrs. F. Ball and Sons, lace-manufacturers, Ilkeston, " turned out" on Tuesday, the sth instant, rather than submit to a further reduction in their wages. They afterwards went to the cricket-ground and agreed to a match to de cide whether or not they should accept the offer made. The game was won by the party for the refusal, with upwards of one hundred notches to spare.—Local Paper. WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON.—The new arrange ments in Whitecross-street Prison for the classification of the prisoners are complete, and are expected shortly to be enforced. The prison will now be used for com mitments from the City Sheriffs' County Court under the new Act of Parliament. By the classification to be adopted, there will be separate places for debtors committed for 40 days from the County Courts, and for remanded prisoners from the Insolvent Debtors' Court, as a l so f or debtors before bearing.

C Wigley wa s b roug ht b e f ore t h e Lord May ha or rle an s d Sir J. Pirie, charged with having carried and conveyed a certain quantity of tobacco upon which the duty had not been paid. The possession subjected the defendant to a penalty of 1001. Mr. Beverley, solicitor to the Customs, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) having put the question, , " Guilty or not guilty ?" The defendant said, " Guilty of the possession, but I should wish the public to know the facts." The LORD MAYOR—Although you have pleaded guilty, I shall willingly hear what you have to say on the subject, if you think it will be of service to you. The Defendant—About five o'clock on Sunday, as I was going to see a friend near London-bridge, I met a man near the Coal Exchange, who asked me if I wanted any such thing as tobacco. lat first re fused. He said he had 71b. of it, and the price was 17s. 6d. At last I agreed to give him 10s. 6d. for the lot, and went to a place in the neighbourhood, where I paid him for the tobacco. Now, the officer who immediately afterwards apprehended me was in Thames-street, in the dress of a sailor, when th e man came up t o me t o as k me t o purchase ; and I say it was a regular most rascally put- up between them. The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean to say that it was a plant upon you ? The defendant—l do, my! Lord. The one sent the other to tempt me to buy, that they might make a job of me. The LORD MAYOR, (to Mr. Beverley)—ls 'the de. pndant known to boa person - Who deals in Contraband rticles ? Acr. Beverley—No • but his condu c t was 'most insdent, and he violently assaulted the offiCer who apprehended hi m . Y ou w ill h ear a diff erent version presently. The LORD MAYOR—Certainly, if a plant has been put upon this man, I cannot listen to the proposition to punish him under such circumstances. The defendant—My Lord, I never was charged with anything before in my life. I did not know that I was doing anything wrong. Sir JOHN PIRIE--TO what ship do you belong ? The defendant—l belong to no ship now. I have belonged to the Sir Robert Peel, a screw-steamer, in which I have been often employed. Sir JOHN PIRIE—That convinces me that you perfectly well understand what smuggling is, and that you knew that you were not justified in pur chasing the tobacco. The defendant—l'll tell you my motive for doing so. I was going to the Red Sea for two years in the Royal Sovereign, in which vessel I was engaged, and I wanted to lay in a little stock for my use. Sir JOHN PIRIE—No vessel goes trading to the Red Sea for two years. I happen to be acquainted with the Red Sea, and to know that coal is the only thing we take out there. The defendant---Well, I said coal and cinders. Jones, the officer who took the defendant into cus tody upon the information, then made the following statement upon being, called upon by Mr. Beverley : -- 7 -At a quarter befofj six.o'clock on Sun4ay„,eygning, Viet Vie': deteraaA another` man in Thames:: cooliog, i ‘ pt e,, dtrystian from the, Sir jtobert reel; - the Xagneir, and anothei`steanier; and I sus pected that they had smuggled goOds about them. I stopped them. The man who was with the de fendant said he had only some butter about him. The defendant said he had nothing at all, and I took them into custody. The defendant said to his com rade' " Give me ten shillings t o g i ve t o th e o ffi cer and he will drop the heavy penalty." " No," said "no bribe will be taken." When we got as far as Nightingale-lane he hesitated to proceed further. I told him it would be of advantage to him to come along quietly, but he started off. I followed and caught him, but he seized me b y t h e nec k an d pressed his nuckles into my throat until I frothed at the mouth. By a hard struggle I go t f ree f rom hi m , but he seized me again, and kicked and s t ruc k me violently. I found that he was p er f ec tly d resse d i n tobacco, having 13 pounds about his limbs, and 12 pounds round his body, and as he ran al ong he dropped several packages. The defendant—That's the biggest lie that ever came out of a man's mouth. The inspector who took the charge at the station house said the defendant never uttered one word of the statement he had just made when brought before the minor authority, nor, indeed, said a syllable in palliation. The defendant n packd and said the whole busin ess was a m He was condemned in the penalty of 1001. t o laughed, of lies GUILDHALL.

Mr. Horry appeared on b e h a lf o f t h e pr i soner, and a solicitor conducted the prosecution. Lawrence Williams, a clerk at the Dublin Wharf, East Smithfield, stated that a wharf note, dated the 13th of August, produced, was made out by him. He received the goods and 2s. for wharfage, and gave the receipt produced. It had since be en altered from 2s. to 4s. He had an entry in his book of only 2s. being paid. He received ten packages on the 17th of August, for which he gave the wharf note produced. He made it out for ss. 6d., but it had been altered to 9s. 6d. He had an entry of the payment of ss. 6d. in his book. John Kingstnn, another clerk at the Dublin Steam wharf, stated that a wharf note, dated the 20th of Sugust, for five trusses,-was made out by him. He received the goods and 3s. The amount in the wharf note appeared to have been altered from 3s. to ,6s. He'had an entry of 3s. in his book. Walter Hartley, clerk at Harrison's-wharf, East Smithfield, stated that a wharf note produced, dated the 4th of August, was in his handwriting. He re ceived the goods and a sum of 10d. only ; but the wharf note had since been altered by prefixing a " 1," and m a ki ng i t ls. 10 d. H e h a d an en t ry of 10d. in his b oo k , corresponding with the wharf note. James Cox, a town carman, deposed that he was frequently goods to differ en t w h arfs. H e pa id th e w h ar f age, an d employed by Messrs. Hocking to convey upon returning and producing the wharfage note, used to received the amount from the prisoner. He delivered the goods at the Dublin-wharf, and received the wharf notes produced. He received 2s. from the prisoner for that dated August 13, ss. 6d. for that dated August 17, and 3s. for that dated August 20. He also delivered goods at Harrison's-wharf, on the 4th of August, and received the wharf note produced. He delivered it to the prisoner, and received the amount from him; but whether it was made for the sum of ls. or 10d. he could not tell, but he delivered it to the prisoner in the same state as he had it from the wharf, and received only the sum therein named. The notes had been altered since he delivered them to the prisoner. a - Charles Watling, clerk to Messrs. Hocking, de posed that he had been in their service since the 9th of August. The prisoner was one of the porters, and generally had a small sum in band to cover petty dis bursements. The prisoner used to account to him or to another clerk, by delivering in a list of his paY ments, and producing the parcels books, wharf notes, or other vouchers. On the 23d of August the priso ner delivered to him the weekly account now pro duced. One item was, " Shipping, 15s. 6d.," which the prisoner supported by tendering the two wharf notes for. 9s. 6d. and 6s. They were then in the same state as now. The prisoner had the money to make these payments already in band. In the prisoner's RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, OCTOBER 11.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 9, BEDFORD-STREET, BEDFORD•SQUAREr LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Ed lll ' . burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Menteeh , of the London Hespital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raiseej and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many cool' it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disSP: pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which Whe n used in moderation is frau g Ut w ith a d vantage, becomes, why abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less inle'f to the constitutional and vital powers. Th e p ar ti cu l ar excesses , on the nature and consequ,ence of which this Treatise professes to are- productive of greater severity of misery to the human fralne , than any other to which it is subject. This - work contains an accurate and complete account of th e Anatomy and Physiology of the Reprod uc ti ve O rgans, an d °f their relative conditions in health and disease. It deserYo 4ll requires the closest attention and study, for what subject O n be of more importance than the preservation of the h e alth; and of the physical capabilities of which every man Will a be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhaPil Victim of excessive ind u l gence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufferins from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of al , ' plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread 0 frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints 00 _, beyond the reach of art, alik e res t r i c t hi m and prevent hie scale* for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the cans.s Of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, in" - riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical max who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite lega l qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prOlee @lona' pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. pr. LL'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diploo" testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years 11 guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference allx ol solely to the treatment of these diseases.
