Once • more we may venture to assure our fellow subjects in Ireland, that whatever Mr. VANSIT TART and Ministers in general can do will be done to lighten the burthens unavoidably brought upon them by an extraordinary combination of events, and the heavy pressure of a long pro- tracted war, %%hid), happily for mankind, and - to the eternal honinir of the British Government, has terminated in the deliverance, and, we trust, the security of Europe. When we say the security, however, we cannot bat view with alarm the events which are passing in France. The steady friends of the legitimate Government are gradual and we may say shamefully, and foolishly, discarded to make way for the former minions of the great tyrant and oppressor of mankind. Let Sir ROBERT WILSON, if he is the author of the work imputed to him, and the shallow Politicians of The Morning Chronicle, say what they will to excite alarm on the increasing power, and the re ported military arrangements of Russia, the •changes taking place in France are sufficient to alarm all the Continental Powers, and if those 'changes proceed, it would not be wonderful, but rat ier the natural effect of things, if revolu tionary horrors should again overwhelm all legi- timate Governments, and after the contusion of anarchy, conclude in the elevation of another military Despot, or of a banditti of low-born ruf fians, who have been taught by dreadful experience the art of ht eaking the spirit of a people, and bending their necks beneath the yoke of Tyranny. The Conductor of The Anti-gallican Monitor, We observe, thought proper on Sunday last to 'signify that, " if be was not warranted in saying all he :lid respecting Lord SIDMOUTIf, he thinks the Editor of THE Sox was not warranted in 34ying what he did respecting the - Noble Lord," for. whose private character, however; be avows the highest respect. We should not have brought forward the Noble Lord's name upon the subject if be had not been accused of ill-treating and - treglecting COZBETT, who ill-treated everybody publicly connected with him, and if we were. tot persuaded that the Noble Lord never would tave had any intercourse with such a Irian. As to the Complaints of men in,general .who may hare been 'disappointed in expectations which they had no tight to form, there probably never was a Mini ate/ who was not exposed to the same complaints, tut while our Rulers act firmly, steadily, :and sealously for the interest and honour of the Coun- try, it would be ridiculous in them to attend to the murmers of discontent. bem., SEPT. 30.—Came down from the River, And salted with the whole of the outward-bound, the Edward, for Boston ; Ann, for St. Domingo ; Itobert and Ann, for Lisbon ; and the Wharf, for Gibraltar. l'Assed through the Downs a large Beet of colliers.

BOXING.—The fights between Randall and Be loco, and others, took place yesterday at Sher perton Point, opposite the village of Shepperton. Randall won, after a very tedious but scientific fight. A fellow called Masse, and another desig nated Pug, fought a bloodless fight for an hour and a halt. There was nothing like a hit in the whole combat, and blood was spilt only When in throwing, or rather struggling, their noses came near the ground.—A third battle, and a manly one, was fought between Jack (the butcher) and the Moulder. The butcher won it after fighting 58 minutes. The men stood up to each other, and went to head fighting, until tired with hitting. G.

As it is our wish to render this Paper the vehicle of useful` and ornamental knowledg - ei as well ao of those principles which are best caktilated to sup port ,our political Constitution, we shall readily give insertion to whatever may tend to promote those important objects. Health is one of the most desirable possesion3 in human life, and consequently whatever may tend to preserve it must be highly interesting to the community at large. We therefore deem it our duty to submit to the public the following brief sketch of an Introductory Lecture delivered by Mr. Goon, on Wednesday last, in the great room, at the Crown and Has, in Chancery-lane. Mr. Goon is so well known by his vatiouS and valuable works in lite rature, as well as in the profession of which he is so cOn.spicunUs and so respectable a member, that it would be a sort of presumption in us to offer at present the hamble tribute of our commenda tion. INTRODUCTORY LECTURE To 'a Course of Lectures on the Study and Science of NosoLoGY This gentleman has lately published a " Phy siological System of Nosology, with a corrected and simplified Nomenclature," which seems to 'have acquired no small degree of reputation in the medical world, partly from the absolute want of a proper system of the kind.; partly from the manner in which it has been countenanced by the Royal College of Physicians of London, to whom it is dedicated by their own especial permission, given ara Comitio Majorutn; but perhaps chiefly by the merits.ot the work itself. -And in conse quence of this SHCCeSs the anchor has just attempt ed to establish a new School of Medicine in this Metropolis, by a Course crf Lectures upon the above subject, his own system being professedly to form the ground-work of the new series of in struction. The object of the Introductory Lecture, which was thronged' by a vet y numerous audience of professional and literary characters, atno►ng whom were many of the heads of the two Royd Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of this Metropolis, and which was designed to she w in whet respect tl►e present mode of Medical education adopted in other places, as well as in this Metropolis, seemed to demand improvement, and to give a brief out line of the plan to be laid down in the proposed course of lectures, for accomplishing so import ant a purpose. • . GooD observed, that every science may be resolved into three primordial divisions—its sub ject, its literature, and its language : that each of these demands an equal degree of attention ; and that the student who does not apply himself to each of them, as well critically and analytically, as relatively and collectively, whatever degree of information he may chance to pick up from other quarters, can never become a proficient in the science of his pursuit. lle explained these divisions as follows :—The subject of a science is its ground-work, and in that of Medicine consists of the long and melan choly catalogue of diseases incident to human nature. The literature of a science consists of the laws and maximt►s, the doctrines and deductions, the systems and opinions which regulate it from age to age, as laid down by authorities of the highest -gravity and reputation. And the language of a science is its connecting medium,' its brie of communication, that which• gives unity to the whole, and separates one branch of human know ledge from another. If the subject matter of a science may be contemplated as its skeleton and fundamental structure, the literature of a science is its form and body, and the language of a science its vital current—the blood that feeds, and the spirit that animates and gives it a peculiar corn plexion and character. He applied each of these divisions to the sub ject in question. He proved distinctly, and from the comession of the best Lecturers on the science: of Medicine, that there is not a single method in present use but is loaded with defects, and is altogether unscientific; that the common system is Dr. Cullen's, which is so extremely deficient, as, in the opinion of Dr. Cullen himself, to have no fit place for a considerable number of well known diseases, which are consequently obliged to be excluded from the system : and that every Lec turer feels himself compelled to acknowledge its Onmerous deficiencies in his very outset, and to apologize for his use of this system, by confessing at the same time, that, faulty as it is, he is not acquainted with a better. Mr. GOOD next pointed out a variety of other imperfections in the ordinary mode of conducting the groundwork of medical instruction ; and then proceeded to a summary, but lucid display of his own system, and the means by which he propos ed, in lecturing upon it, to save both time and labour to the student, and to render the progress of instruction far clearer and easier of compre hension ;.„upon which we have not time to en large, further than to observe that In entdring . upon the second division of his snbject, he stated that he was peculiarly anxious upon the last point, because it was his intention to appropriate the time and labour thus saved and snatched, so to speak, from the family tomb of the Capulets, to an ampler, instruction upon the next primordial division of a science, the general literature that belon gs to it, and he pointed out very neatly the means by which the history of medicine and the treatment of diseases may he most usefully illustrated by the application of the learning of former times, and the, valuable disco veries'of our own. He then proceeded to his third division, and showed that almost every science has a vocabu lary of its own ; and that, generally speaking, in proportion as the terms of such vocabulary are precise and, definite the science itself becomes exact and valuable. That hence there are few sciences which have not, of late years, been par ticularly attentive to this topic ; .while, in many of th e m, th e o ld nomenc l ature b eing foundincor rigibly barbarous and defective, has been com pletely abandoned, and a. new one invented in its stead, of which we have striking and familiar ex amples in the collateral branches of Chemistry, Botany, Natural History, and Mineralogy. He then observed that there is no nomencla ture whatever so utterly barbarous and perplexed as that of the art of healing, and consequently so , li't'reolt for a student to acquire a mastery of : that it has hero _wined, in nolk.rent ag,s, 110141 almost every l anguage i n t h e wor ld , anti from every g ild hypothesis that has ever bet n spa vned forth by imagination, founded upon ro coat non principle, and, in many instances, regulated by no common nrean•ng. lie gave various striking and pointed examples of all these charges, and reniarlted, that not withstainliog there is no •voca bulary that require s so much simplification auti purification, there is none whatever in which so little pains has been taken 'upon either or these points ; that there is nOt a book upon what rosy strictly . be called Medical Philology in the world, nor a school in any quarter of it, in which this subject is, he would not say critically indagatcd, but generally touched upon ; and gave a glance at the manner in which he proposes, as tar as possible, to correct these evils in the ensuing course of Lectures, following up the corrective spirit he has already evinced in his published system. But the accomplishment of all this, he observed, demands ii much longer period of time than is ap propriated to the purpose of a series of simil,ir Lectures in our . leading Hospitals, where Ilia course is finished in three months with a Lecture, limited to an lrour,•given only three times a week. He calculated the number of distinct specific dis eases,. froM the lowest estimate to which they had been reduced by the best authorities, at up wards of three hundred and fifty, and sheaved that a course of Lectures, thus limited, could not ex ceed from thirty-six to thirty-nine hours, for the whole-or this - extensive field of matter—being only.in•tht proportion of about one hour to every ten clisaSes, to say nothing of the collateral_ lite rature with Which every one should be illustrated. tipon this part of his subject he was particularly forcible and animated,'and especially in animad verting upon -the ustial mode of the Lecturer's taking general principles alone, and then confin ing himself to a few diseases under each, by way of exemplification. He dwelt poignantly upon the inconsistency of such conduct, in respect to what is due from the Lectuter both to the public and the indiViduals who are placed under his care. in respect to the more comprehensive mode by which all other sciences are taught in every school whatever, and in respect to the unfortunate Jesuit which it must often have upon the practice of stu dents thus defectively instructed. General princi ples, therefore,with a few diseases under each, can do nothing, nor can the most masterly talents or ingenuity, nor the most terse and compressed style, contrive to pack up a sufficient quantity of infor mation into so small a compass. It is, said he, as though a grave Professor of Divinity, in lay ing clown before his class, in one of oar Univer sities, the principles and doctrines of the Chris tian religion,•were to content himself with giving to each of them, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, all curiously re• duced, as they sometimes have been, to the size df a silver shilling, and then sending them forth into the country, with 'this testimonial in their pockets, as expert and finished clergymen. He justified these remarks by the far more comprehensive s tirade in which the science of medicine is taught at Edinburgh, at Leyden, and in most other places of reputation as medical schools; and concluded by observing, that tbougb be knew the impracticability of encroaching very far on established habits, and the usual term of time which can be spared by students for acquire lug a medical education in this part of the coun try, yet it was his determination to proceed as far as he was able; and while he did not feel at liberty to stretch much beyond the usual term of three mouths, he would at least double the usual, time, by giving a lecture on the same subject daily, by which means . he hoped - to be able to ac..; complish the imnortaut ta'k he has undertaken. DREADFUL EFFEci 6 OF JEALOUSY.. On Tuesday, the 23:i of September, about nine o'clock in the evening, as Mrs. Jane Prevost, of Richmond, was taking knve of a young than, known. by the name . of Ueorge Mills, or as he now' calls himself, George Mills Margesson, Who was paying his addresses to her, and who had just - supped with her at her house, he suddenly drew a dirk, which he • had previously taken out of a tuck-stick, and with. violence scabbed her under the left breast, at the same time exclaiming, with a laugh, " 1 have clone for yoti." The blade re mained in the wound till she pulled it out her self, when she immediately tainted from loss of blood. _Her servant, seeing what was done, ran into the street, crying " Murder ;" and in a mo ment th e h ouse was filled with her neighbours., who secured Mills, and delivered him into the custody of a constable. At first,.from are great effusion of blood, the life of Mrs. Prevost was thought to be in imminent danger, but - strong hopes are now entertained of her recovery, as it is. ascertained that the instrument, which had been sharpened for the purpose, fortunately took an oblique direction, turned - , perhaps by the bones of her. stays, and consequently did not enter so deeply as the mark'of blood on .its blade at first induced all to suppose. On Friday afternoon. Mrs. Prevost was able to give her demisition, when the Rev. Dr. Sampson, of Petersham, attended for that purpose ; and• having taken her information, together with those of some other persons, and having examined Mills, who said that his inten tion was not to give Mrs. Provost a mortal wound, but only such a one as might disable her front keeping the appointment which she had made with - a Gentleman of Chelmsford, Dr. Sampson fully committed Mills to the gaol at Newington, to take his trial at the next Assizes for the coun ty of Surreys. It seems that jealousy was the cape of this dreadful act, Mills having the day preceding intercepted a letter addressed by Mrs, Prevost to a person at Chelmsford. Mills is only seventeen or eighteen' years old, Mrs. Prevost at least twenty-five.. She has entered into recogni. ' tance to prosecute. It appea . rs by a notice in the Gazette, that Li verpool is to be lighted with gas, as soon as an Act of Pedlar - nett can be obtained tor•that purpose. A light-house has been lately erected on Mutton Island, Galway Bay, and according to a notice in the Gazette of last night, its light is to be exhi bited on the 25th of Ocrober. The Hight is to be a bright red.
