"DROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. *,,„ l ' With each Box is given a Treatise on Venerea , and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. Ste.. containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether theconsequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any' other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most Minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the titre of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually - administered can be attested by Many thousands. In fact, during the long con ti nen t a l war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has givin such general satisfaction ? The Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, Purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mour., and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion Of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse t 0 the Hygeian H er b Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by Moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous Mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, "Y sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither h ea t nor co ld w ill injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davicson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight to the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina t ill Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ' , ibis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE.

" H. LEY, M.D. " Lecturer on Midwifery at Bartholomew's Hospital." " Dr. Clarke has prescribed Yoland's Specific Solution to many patients labouring under urethral discharges, and in variably found they were cured in much less time than he had previously . observed when using preparations of copaiba, and is of opinion it is a remedy unequalled, and one that he intends in future to prescribe for his patients."

PRESS, AND THE PUBLIC. THE DRAPERS' 66I1111 7 ICITEE issue the present APPEAL in compliance with a Resolution passed at a PUBLIC MEETING of their own body, "That an Ad dress be published, calling upon the Ladies, the Press, and the Public, to exercise their powerful influence by affording their encouragement to those Shops that close at Eight o'Clock, to make their purchases at an earli'er hour, and to recommend their dependents to do the same." nexplanation or the causes which led to this Resolution it will be necessary to state, that •on the eleventh of last month, the Draper's' Assistants cliCulated amongst their Employers a most respectful Memorial, complaining that the protracted hours of business tended seriously to injure them; " not only by impairing their health and undermining their constitution, but also by depriving them of every opportunity of improving their mind;" and in reference to an argument advanced, that if an additional hour or two were granted to them, the time thus gained would be spent at the Tavern, — they observe—" Your Memorialists indignantly repel this unfounded aspersion, and respectfully contend, that the pre sent protracted hours, by debarring them from every source whence they might imbibe useful knowledge, rather tend to make them resort to such places as the only mode of recrea tion between the toil of the day and the hour of repose: but that if a reasonable lime were allowed, it might, and no doubt would, be devoted to the attainment of those acquire ments, which are calculated to excite an honourable emula tion," and conclude by respectfully submitting that the Shops be closed for the three respective periods of the year, at Seven, Eight, and Nine o'Clock. The reasonableness of this request, and the forcible but respectful manner in which it was made, together with a con viction of the utility of diminishing the hours of business, in duced some of the employers to convene a public meeting of their own body. This Meeting, folly concurring with the sentiments of the Memorial, came to the resolution, that Silk-mercers, Linen and Woollen Drapers, Shawl-dealers. Hosiers, &c , should close their Places of Business at Eight o'Clock, during the Six Months ; from October to March, in clusive, and at Nine o'Clock for the remaining half-year, Saturday Nights excepted. To give full effect to this resolution, each principal was called .upon to express his intention of abiding by the speci fied hours of closing, and such was the conviction amongst them, of the necessity of the regulation, that, with the ex ception of three individuals, it received the cordial assent of every member of the trade. The refusal, however, of these few individuals to comply with the arrangement, threatens a speedy return to the sys tem of late and irregular closing, as some parties, in self defence, must, and others, from the contagion of example, will gradually extend the hours of business until the whole trade will be again subject to the annoyance of protracted and unproductive toil. This untoward disunion has caused the necessity of appeal ing to those with whom the ultimate settlement of the ques tion now materially rests, whether or not the large majority of the Employers are to be protected in their endeavours to comply with the just demands of their assistants. It is evi dent, in trades where so much rivalry exists, that no arrange ment can be permanent which is not binding upon all, and as in the present instance, the persuasion of their fellow tradesmen has bad no effect. in bringing the dissentients to abide by the general arrangement, the majority trust to be supported by public opinion. To the Ladies, the Committee earnestly but most respect fully appeal, to assist the cause, in discountenancing, by their own example, the prastice of late shopping, making their purchases at as early an hour in the day as possible, by recommending their circle of friends to do the same, and b"y strictly enjoining their domestics to buy, if possible, before seven o'clock, but on no account to purchase anything after eight o'clock, the effect of which would tend to deter the wilful dealer from violating a rule in which the happiness of so many is closely connected; a rule which, if steadily en forced, will ultimately contribute to ameliorate the condition of a large and deserving class of the population. To the Press, the resistless and untiring advocate of all that has a tendency to improve the physical, and exalt the intellectual condition of the people; they leave the enforce ment of the moral principle involved, and trust that their powerful co-operation will continue to be extended. To the Public generally they appeal, to assist them in carrying out what they con ce i ve to b e a j ust an d p hil ant h ropic object, but they more especially invite the assistance of the other trades men of the town, of every trade and class, to bring about a general curtailment of the hours of business—a result which, , they feel perfectly satisfied, would, in the majority of in stances, be found as p ro d uc ti ve o f h ea l t h to t h e princ i pa l s, as of relief and comfort to those in their employ.

FOSTER, Professional Short-Hand Writer, and Reporter for- the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. London: WHITTAKER and Co. (erpool : STAN DARD tt Office, and MAPLES. Mancheste SowLER, and all Booksellers. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "This system of Short-hand will be found one of the most complete that has ever been issued from the press—indeed, we may say the most complete. Utility and simplicity are the main objects which the author has kept in view. A per fect mastery of the instructions which Mr. Foster has given, will enable any one to take dawn verbatim, the words of the most rapid speaker. Nor is this the only advantage which will accrue from an acquaintance with this system, the faci lity with which the notes may be afterwards read is a consi deration of very great importance. The alphabetical cha racters have the recommendation of extreme simplicity. The signs for combination of letters, and the arbitraries, or marks for words, will be found highly conducive to expedi tion in writing. In this department the author has been eminently successful. To Ladies or Gentlemen who may wish to master the useful art of stenography, we can cordi ally recommend this work, by which a student of ordinary ability, especially if a quick writer, may be enabled in a very short time to take down literal reports of sermons and speeches. We may add, that the professional short-hand writer may also derive much instruction from this compendium.—Liver pool Standard. " This is an exceedingly clever, instructive, and well writ ten production. Generally speaking, works on stenography are not aulficiently entertaining and attractive to obtain nu merous readers; but we will do Mr. Faster the justice tosay, that ha has throw c,--muchljtat is highly-interestirg in his plain instructions, ' and haS very happily blended the enter taining with the useful. Our author's principal object ap pears to be to instruct the uninitiated; but we think his work will prove valuable in many respects even to those whose profession it is to practise the art. Of course his system must in a great measure, partake of those previously in existence, but as regards the distinctness and decisio❑ of his vowel cha racters, it is superior to any we have seen. His examples and illustrations are also exceedingly good, and the various lessons are given with a plainness and perspicuity which must greatly fafilitate the learner's progress. In short, to all who are anxious to obtain aapeedy and accurate know ledge of the art of stenography, we earnestly recommend the work."—Manchester Courier. " This sstem of short-band seems an excellent metboil. It is the work of a reporter on the Liverpool Standard."— Literary Gazette, Oct. 6. " We are of opinion that the last essay on stenography must almost of necessity be the best, and that the person most qualified to treat of it is a practical reporter. Mr. Foster's enthusiastic admiration of the art, has, we think, led him a little too far; but it by no means detracts from the value of information derived from his own personal observation and experience as a reporter, which is now offered to the public in a cheap and accessible form."—Liverpool Mercury. " We can with confidence pronounce Mr. Foster's system a good one. Constant practice is absolutely necessary for any one who wishes to be a first-rate short-hand writer, either on this or on any other system; but we believe that la thoroughly practised writer of short-hand would find it easier to follow a rapid speaker with this than with any other system. It also possesses the very great advantage of being easily readable when written."—Liverpool Times. " Mr. Foster we know has had much practical experience in the art, and it is practical experience alone that can enable an individual to form a correct :udgment of any par ticular system. Mr. Foster has, it appears, tried three seve ral systems, and has fixed upon that which he deems the best. On this he has made such improvements as, in the course of his practice, seemed best calculated to secure facility. With his judgment matured by constant consideration of the subject, he tells us that the system which be has now presented to the public possesses many advantages over ; hose most in use, with which he is acquainted.— Liverpool n "The admirers of short-hand writing, whether profession ally or as amateurs, have now offered to them a small volume of sound and I:ractical instruction in that delightful art, by Mr. T. C. Foster. We will only add, that so far as our judgment goes, it is a book which truly deserves the patron age of the public."— Sunderland Beacon. NOTICE TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Venereal Disease living to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate fleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread ful sufferings. ____ PERRY - '§ PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases, .gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti- Cie of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or ilindrance of business, but effect a com plete cirre, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which nct only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and d es t ro y a ll th e b o dily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health. PETIRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains-in the bones, ulcerated sore throat diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturne pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and al -14 eases arising from an impure state of the blood. 2, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL If AItMORATUM. MONS. LE DRAY & CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that thay have opened an Establishment perma nently at No. 70, S tt,EL-STREET, eight doors from Berry street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity inhap almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preteting and curing the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant t a i n t o f t h e breath whichinvaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap plication without the slightest pain. Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me tallic Teeth e highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged Forty Guineas Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

The Magnesian baying Vngsustained t in the character of the very best Fa m ily Medl e, and many individuals having experienced th e a d van t „es of a steady perseverance in the use there o f, h as judo the proprietor to meet such demand by a la rger b o ttl e , e Family Bottle, price Ils., (with a ground-glass stopper,) contains the quan tity of five of 2s. 9d. size, which is a savin& of at least twenty per cent. to the purchaser. This mild, agreeable, and efficient purgative, is universally approved and recommended by the faculty, as the best cor rective of disordered state of the stomach, head, and bowels, and the safest remedy for gout, piles, fistula, gravel, &c. and for obviating the injurious effecis of the stronger drastic pur gatives: for this latter purpose it should be taken the morning following. If frequently taken during the heat of summer and autumn, no medicine is better calculated to prevent or speedily remove those dangerous disorders cholera morbus, dysentary, diarrhoea, and other troublesome affections of the bowels. Perusal of the following letier is particularly requested : " To Mr. Moxon,—Dear sir, I am quite out of your invalua ble medicine, the Magnesian Aperient: six months ago I recommended it to a gentleman who had been a dreadful sufferer from the gout, he informs me since he took it regu larly be has not had a single attack or even the slightest symptom. Let me recommend you to impress upon the mind of all sufferers from morbid sensibility of the stomach and bowels, the necessity, the absolute necessity, of taking a tea spoonful of it regularly every morning; taken iu the manner I have described, it never interferes with the avocationsof the day, and it invariably creates an elasticity of mind, and a flow of spirits, which gives a zest to every enjoyment, besides it enables the invalid to enjoy many of those luxuries with im punity, from which he must otherwise be debarred, and without which life is irksome and distressing. The moment I get out of bed I take a tea-spoonful of your Panacea, win ter and summer, (during this severe storm 1 have never omitted it,) and instead of producing any cold sensation in the stomach, it invariably creates a genial flow, a pleasurable warmth, and I go down stairs to breakfast with an appetite that would do no discredit to a plough boy; and I now enjoy a state of health to which I have for years been a stranger.

IMPORTANT CAUTION. - To secure the public against coun terfeit preparations, his Majesty's honourable Commissioners of Stamps granted Maxon and Smith (then Co-partners) to have " Moxon & Smith, Chymists, Hull," enarared on the stamps affixed to each Medicine. This criterion of the genuine preparations of Benjamin Moxon is still continued, which be careful to observe. not perceive how in such cases any Mitigating circumstances could appear. The first case of those alluded to, was that of a young woman, who had been very cruelly treated by an in dividual who had thrown vitriol upon her. In this case he believed there was not the smallest doubt of the guilt of the prisoner. In the other case of throwing vitriol, which was that of the two men whose names he had mentioned, the guilt of the parties, he believed, was not so clear. If they (the Grand Jury) should think it a case of suspicion, and that the evidence was not perfectly clear, it was always the best and safest mode of proceeding to cut the bill; because, if they should send a case for trial with imperfect evidence, and, through any doubts, the prisoner was acquitted, that case was closed for ever. If the inquiry once came before the Court, they could not find a new bill. They would know from those who were conducting the prosecution, whether they were de termined to go on with the indictment or not, as he under stood there were some doubts upon the subject, from. imper fection in the evidence. In such case it were far better not to go on, fur the reasons which he already stated.— ,He bad no further observations to make, the calendar being, as he had already mentioned, very light. It contained, he was happy to say, none of those offences which had heretofore been so oommon, such as the rubbery of warehouses by por ters and persons in trust. Such crimes, he hoped, were greatly reduced by the severe measures resorted to. He sin. cerely hoped the active system that had been panned had been the means of putting down this class of offences. ..Itt fact, the present calendar showed that they had done a great deal of good in suppressing crime in this town. CHARGE OF FELONY. William Smith, aged about 24, was charged with having, on the 29th of November last, stole a new jacket, value 14s. the property of Martin Cross, an old clothes dealer. Mr. HENDERSON conducted the prosecution. Police-officer 447, William Harper, it appeared, in conse. quence of some information whi c h h e h a d received, took the prisoner into custody on another charge. He found in his possession a new jacket, and, on inquiry, discovered that the prosecutor had lost such an one. Mrs. Cross recognised-the prisoner as a person whom she had seen several times in the course of Thursday last at her husband's shop. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had purchased . the jacket from Mr. Hart, in Ratcliffe-highway, London, having just received £ll 10s. for wages. The tailor who made the jacket swore positively to 'its identity. He pointed out a part where he had inserted a piece of brown cloth. The jury examined the jacket, but tbev could not discover the difference of colour. This was, by the tailor, attributed to the difference of shade produced by the gas having been lighted. The jury retired at four o'clock. They returned at twenty minutes past four, and acquitted the prisoner. SHOPLIFTING. John Mannerhan, aged 20, was charged with having, on the 13th November, stolen a coat, the property of Elias MOEN and another coat, the property of Thos. Lorton: • Air. RAMSHAY conducted the p rosecution. _ It appeared that, on the 13th November, the prisoner was seen by a washerwoman to take a coat down from Mr. Maties door. She called to those within the shop and ran after the prisoner. He entered an ale-house and immediately came out with the coat on bis back and a pipe in his mouth. Mr: Pickering, who is in the service of Mr. Moss, and had fol. lowed the woman, seized him with the coat on his person. He took it off and told them tiat if they were determined to take him into custody, they should have the trouble of carry. it to Bridewell. The prisoner, in his defence, said be was not the person. He was merely standing looking on. Phe rtacontmainamod,h...n evarse.e.ftel wucrera pqrsu CIOLLIZInTignUt their doors, which, he said, was offering a temptation to thieves. At the Central Criminal Court the Grand Jury bad recently come to a resolution, that they would not find a bill in any case where these exposures of property were made. The other charge against the prisoner was not gone into. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and bard labour. THEFT FROM A SHOP. William Burke, aged 14, and Eliza Flaherty, aged 14, were charged, the former with having stolen certain bonnets, the property of John Harding, and the latter with having pur chased one of the said bonnets, knowing the same to have been stolen. It appeared from the evidence that, in Novem ber last, Mrs. Harding missed five bonnets from her shop. These bonnets were traced to the possession of the lad Burke, from whom the prisoner Flaherty purchased one of them. Burke had offered the bonnets for sale to a Mrs. Browne, who refused to purchas e th em. Th e b onnet sold to the female prisoner was a Leghorn bonnet, worth, at prime cost, 15s. 6d. The jury found both prisoners guilty. Burke was a very old offender. He was ordered to be transported for seven years. On hearing the sentence he exclaimed loudly, "It has come in very good time !" The female prisoner was also sentenced to seven years' transportation. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON. Julia Doyle, aged 36, was placed at the bar under an• in dictment, wherein she was charged with having feloniously stolen a bag, containing twenty sovereigns, six half sovereigns, and a five pound note, the property of Charles Waters, from the person of the said Charles Waters. The prosecutor stated, that he was pig-jobber, of Dundalk. On the 6th or 7th of August, in the present year, he came to Liverpool with a quantity of pigs, which he sold in Manchester. He returned to Liverpool with the proceeds, and went to lodge at the house of Mr. Hoyes, in Lumber-street. He was on his wa♦ home to his lodgings one evening, when he met the prisoner, with whom he entered into conversation. They went into Mrs. Gore's public-house, at the corner of Lumber -street. Here they had some liquor, and the prosecutor took out his purse, with the sum above-mentioned in it, to pay for what they drunk. He returned the money to his breast pocket. They left the house together, and the prisoner told him that she had not any money for her breakfast. She told him a tale of distress, and be said, he would never see any one hungry while he had a shilling. He took out his purse and was looking for a shilling, when she snatched it from him and ran away. He followed, but she eluded him by running along a gateway and round several carts. Information was given to the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody, He (the prosecutor) went to the place where the prisoner was, in Milton-street, and identified her, She was sentenced to ten years' transportation. The other cases do not contain much interest, and have been fully reported in our police reports. Barley sells cheaper in the English markets at present than in Limerick.—Limerick Chronicle.

WHIPPING LOCUSTS.—On the road from Cordova to Se ville, Captain Scott witnessed a curious peculiarity of Anda lusian agriculture. " During our ride, we observ e d a 1141111• ber of men advancing in skirmishing order across the coun try, and thrashing the ground most savagely with long flails. Curious to know what could be the motive for this Xerxes like treatment of the earth, we turned out of the' road to in spect their operations, and found they were driving a swarm of locusts into a wide piece of linen spread on the ground at some distance before them, wherein they were made prison ers. These animals are about three times the size of an En glish grasshopper. They migrate from Africa, and their spring visits are very destructive ; for, in a single night, they will entirely eat up a field of young corn. The Gaza de Lan gostas (lobster hunting, as they call it) is a very profitable business to the peasantry; as, besides a reward obtained from the proprietor of the soil, in consideration for service done, they sell the produce of their chasse for manure at so much a sack."—C a ptain Scott's Excursions. , MURDEROUS BURGLARY AT WHITTINGTON.—The village of Whittingham, near Lichfield, has been the scene of one of the most cold-blooded and brutal attempts to murder a family that has for many years been recorded. The quiet village of Whittington is about three miles from Lichfield; and a little distance from it, on the road to Huddersfield, is Whittington Hurst. Near this place lived a farmer named Charles Wood, his wife, and their servant in. On Friday last they retired to rest at the usual hour, When, in the dead of the night, two men with their faces blackened entered the bed-chamber of Mrs. Wood, who slept with the servant girl: they struck the latter with a blunt instrument, and left her for dead; they next cut Mrs. Wood's throat and beat her, and afterwards proceeded into the bed-room of the poor old man, who was very infirm, and scarcely able to help himself. Having, as they supposed, despatched Mrs. Wood and the servant, they threatened the old man with instant death if he did not disclose where he kept his money, and give up his keys. He delivered up the keys; and the robbers, having ransacked his room, locked Wood in, and went down stairs, The revelry of the brutes then commenced—they drank a quantity of spirits and ale, pulled the taps out'of the barrels and a cask of elder wine; they then demolished the clock and other furniture, and finally set fire to the house in three places, one of the first being lighted upon the dining table in the parlour. They then went away, taking with them a £5 note and some silver, a gold watch, three silver Watches, some old coins, two gold rings, sixteen spoons, and other articles. The poor girl, having recovered from the effects of the blows that stunned her, went to her master's room, unlocked the door, and saved him from being burned to death in his bed. Being very weak, he could render no assistance; and he would have been suffocated, had he not, with great difficulty, reached the window, and with his hands broke several panes of glass, to give him some air. The girl then went down stairs, and, after having with great presence of mind and dexterity got the fire in a degree under, she went to the nearest house, which was some distance, and alarmed the inmates. Mrs. Wood was searched for, and found lying in a ditch, with only her bedgownou, with a deep cut in her neck, and her arm broken by a poker by one of the ruffians. She had by some means effected her escape through a window and was run n i ng t o a ne i g hb our ' s h ouse f or assistance,when,, from fright and exhausted, the poor creature fell in the ditch. The greatest excitement has prevailed in the neighbourhood, and the Lichfield police officers have been indefatigable, day and night, in their endeavours to secur e th e wretches. Two men answering their descriptions were seen begging in the neighbourhood the day before, and were at a beer-shop in Lichfield the same night.—Wolverhampton Chronicle. The calendar contains the names of thirty-four prisoners for felony, and eight for misdemeanors and assaults. The following gentlemen were sworn of the Grand Jury:-• Rich. Dawson, Esq., Foreman John Moore Priestman William Armstrong. Joseph Ridgway Amos Bigland William Ridyard Thos. Buddicom Blackburne Charles William Read Simon Crosfield Charles Shells Walter Fergus M'Gregor Thomas Smith Isaac Fletcher , William Watson James Mulleneux Daniel Willis Alexander Parlaue. Robert Taylor Woodward William Peat Bushby Rogers Waterhouse William Bothwell Barnard L. Watson, Esqrs. The Conrt having been opened with the usual forms, and her Majesty's proclamation against vice and immorality hav ing been read,' the Learned RECORDER delivered his charge to the following effect : He was exceedingly happy to observe, with one or two exceptions, the calendar was a verylightone, not only nume rically, but as regarded the nature of the offences. The ex ceptions to which he alluded were the cases No. 7 , and that of two men, Walmsley and Welsby, Nos. 29 and 30. By an act of recent date, now lying before him, passed in the first year of the reign of her present Majesty, cap. 85, the offence with which these persons stood charged, that of throwing vitriol, was made liable to be visited with severe punishment. The act stated as follows:—" Whoever shall unlawfully or maliciously send or deliver to, or cause to be taken or received by, any person any explosive substance," (they, the Grand Jury, would perceive that this provision of the law grew out of a curious case of some explosive matter having been put into the Post-office in this town, some time since) " or any other dangerous or noxious thing, or shall cast or throw upon, or otherwise apply to, any person, any corrosive fluid or other destructive matter, with intent, in any of the cases aforesaid, to burn, maim, disfigure, or disable any person, or to do some )ther crr;- --- bodily harm ~~ ~i; . other grievous bodily harm to any person, and whereby Tin any , of the cases aforesaid, any person shall be burned, maimed, disfigured, or disabled, or receive some other griev- ous bodily harm," (they would perceive that the liquid was not only to be thrown, but an actual injury must be inflicted) " shall he guilty of felony," (this was quite a new enactment) " and being convicted thereof, shall be liable, at the discre- tion of the Court, to be transportetkbeyend the seas f or th e term of his or her natur a l life, or_fir....any.t.orm not leas },Lau • fifteen yeartefrttbe 110 prisoned for any term nut excee di ng three - year," At common law, proceeded the learned Re- corder, previously to the passing of this act, the offence could only be considered as a misdemeanor, and was punishable by fine and imprisonment: The legislature had since very wisely looked upon the malignity of these crimes, and had enacted that they should be punished with transportation, or if any mitigating or palliative circumstances appeared, with imprisonment to the extent of three years, though he could not perceive how in such eases any rrntin•atiner
