St. John's,Neufoundland, 12/h March, 1838. Conformably to a Garrison Order, dated 9th March, 1838, for the assembly of a Medical Board, to take into considera tion the state of health of Lieut. Masters, R.V.C., and to report accordingly. We, the undersigned, Staff Officer and Civil Practitioner; forming the board authorised by that order, after a strict examination of the case of Lieutenant Masters, consider him as entirely unfit for military duty.— Lieutenant Masters has for several years been afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, which has produced serious functionary derangements of his stomach, liver, and other viscera, and finally given rise to infirmity, weakness, and enlargement of the articulations, especially of the ancle joints ; his general health and constitution is much impaired, and, therefore, in our opinion, he is incapable of further service. (Signed) ANDW. FERGUSON, M.D., Staff Assist.-Surgeon. EDWARD KELLY, Surgeon. LETTER OF LIEUT. MASTERS TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON. Hawley, near Bagshot, 14th Jan., 1840. SlR,—Considering that the public would be greatly bene fited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I herewith send the particulars of my case, and the Medical Certificate, by which I was invalided. I was first attacked with Rheumatic Gout in 1826, from which period to 1833 I was under the treatment of the late Drs. Rod, Horner. and Jacobs, as well as by the present Dr. Davis, all of Hamp stead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at St. John's, Newfound land, doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Com panies, where I suffered most severely . , and was under the care of Surgeon Hewson, R.V.C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon Ferguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three or four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the Garrison Order for the Medical Order, as before named. About the middle of last February and the whole of March my sufferings were dreadful ; in fact, I was unable to move without being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near Farnham, a magistrate of this county, kindly commisserating my situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my affi davit, that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing me in so miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, saying, although not gouty himself, he knew several who had derived benefit from them. I had previously been advised by a then neighbour, Mr. Fedgent, of Aldershot, to try them, but I declined until the Major recommended them. I commenced by taking them according to the direc tions ; and, after taking six pills, found a cessati on o f a ll pain, and the remainder of the box effectually settled that fit. I have since had several attacks, but as soon as I feel the least sensation of the disease I take the pills, which have at once removed all symptoms. I may also mention that the chalk which had formed on my ears has disappeared, and where it formed in my fingers is decreasing. I have ceased to have those very weakening perspirations to which I was subject before trying the pills. Were you to print my case, and appoint an Agent in St. John's, Newfoundland, where my sufferings were known, and where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, you will vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.

There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi.: tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the dais of habitual invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorealis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of pie nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, bat - eeriness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a p remature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy riaeum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires„ w To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not 'give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serene l y pro t rac t the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should•never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

CROWN COURT.—FnIDAY. --- CHARGES OF FELONIOUSLY 'UTTERING FORGED NOTES, &C. Owen Sherry, a miserable sickly-looking individual, aged 4G, was charged in several counts of an indictment with hav ing, in this town, in September last, feloniously uttered a note, purporting to be a £lO Bank of England note, a note purporting to be a £5 Bank of England note, and, at other times, two, other notes similar to the last, with intent to de fraud the governor and company of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud Robert M`Laughlin, &c. Mr. CRESSWELL and Mr. ADOLPHUS conducted the pro secution; the prisoner was undefended. Robert M`Laughlin stated that he was a publican, residing in King-street, in this town. He had known the prisoner since April, 1836. In September last the prisoner owed him £3 18s. On the 16th September the prisoner called upon him, and he took the opportunity of asking him for the whole or a portion of his accqunt. The prisoner at first said .he.was out'of a situation and very badly off, but on being ' told that it was time the account was paid, he pulled out a pocket-book and took therefrom a £lO note, requesting to have change for that. Mr. NE' Laughlin looked at the note, and told the prisoner that he did not like the look of it, he, .thought it - was a had one. The priSoner told 'hini if he,did not like it he might • return it and he would 'give Mr. •M`Laughlin two sovereigns: Mr. M`Laughlin said that would not do. He called in - a person named Landin who, by his direction, made two copies of the note. M'Laughlin marked the note with his own initials and kept it without giving the prisoner anything for it. It was subsequently discovered to be a forgery, and witness -delivered it to con stable Ainsworth. The prisoner was sought for at the address • which he had given in Bird -street, but he could not be found. Ellen Farriday stated that she kept a public-house at the bottom of Stewart-street in this town. She had known th e . . prisoner eight or nine years. On the 15th July last he called at her house and purchased a barrel of new ale, the price of which ivas £1 ss. He gave her a five pound note, and she gave him £2.. He did not call again for the balance. She gave the note to her daughter to get change before the prisoner left the house. The change was brought before he left the house, but as she was very unwell at the time she did not receive it. The change was obtained from a person named Dingle, and in the evening- the latter discovered that it was a forgery. in consequence, she had to refund the money. Her mother afterwards gave this note to a consta ble. This witness identified this note as Mr. M`Laug,hlin had done in the preceding instance. Mrs. Farriday's daughter proved that she had changed the note at Mr. Dingle's and marked it at his request. Henry Dingle corroborated the testimony of the last witness. Mrs. Sarah Ashton, wife of Johu Ashton ; publican, Marl borough-street, stated, that on the 29th July last the prison er called at her house and asked for two glasses of ale. She served him and he left a glass of ale for her husband. ,She did not know him but mistook him for another man. Before he departed he asked her if she would give him change for a £5 note. She replied yes, if it' were a good one. He produced a note and she sent it up to her husband by the servant. The girl brought the note back and said that the assistant of Mr. Holmes, the grocer, to whom she .had been to inquire, had pronounced it a very good:note, upon which she gave him change without hesitation. He departed. She put the note in the drawer, and it was afterwards taken to the drawer where they kept their money. They had not another £5 note in the house. Mr. Ashton proved that he had offered the note to 'Mr. Ackers, the brewer, who rejected it. He took it home, locked it up, and afterwards marked it, and gave it to Mr. Ains worth. 'William Gillon, assistant to Joseph M'Curdy, who keeps a public house in Burlington-street, stated that he had known the prisoner 12 months. When he first knew him he was a solicitor to a porter brewer. On the lath July, the prison er called at M'Curdy's, and stated that he had called to pay 16s which he owed him. He told John M'Curdy, Mr. M'Curdy's father, that if he would change him a £5 bill he would pay him. They could not change the bill, but witness said perhaps they could get change. The servant was dis patched for change, which she brought back, and it was given to the prisoner. Subseequently Mr. Morris, from whom the change was procured, took_ it back to Mr. M'Curdy's, and said it was a forgery. James Ainsworth, a constable of this town, stated that on the 23d Sept. last, he apprehended the prisoner, of whom he had been in search since the 27th July. He found him in a back house in Gradwell-street. He asked him his name, and he said it was Sherry ; he searched him. On seeing this proceeding, the mistress of the house called out " Oh my God, what is this ?" Mrs. Sherry said, " It's about them things." The mistress of the house said " What things? " Mrs. Sherry said, " Those notes which I found and gave to him." The prisoner w ith ou t any remar k h av i ng been made by Ainsworth said, " I am innocent ; my wife found them. and gave them to me." Ainsworth asked him some questions, and he said he had heard that some noise had been made about the notes, and he- had gone out of the way. He had burned two of them after he heard that they were bad. K ENDALL'S ORIGINAL CIVET CAT, 5, CHURCH-STREET.

Joshua Freeman, inspector of bank notes for the bank of England, had the notes in question submitted to him, and he proved that they were forged in paper, plate, signature, and every other respect. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, said he did not know that the notes were forged. All fie knew of them was, that his wife found them, and gave them to him. The learned JUDGE put all the circumstances to the jury, urging upon their attention the consideration of those cir cumstances as they related to the defence which he had set up. His lordship considered his exclamation when appre hended was perfectly natural, even supposing the prisoner to be innocent, which he would be if the jury believed that he had not known they were forged up to the time of utter ing. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended hint to mercy on account of his age and infirmity. It was stated that he had been ill a long time, and, in reply to a question from the judge, the prisoner said he had two.children. The JUDGE, after expatiating on the enormity of the of fence, which was formerly punishable with death, said he was inclined, under all the circumstances to listen to the recom mendation to mercy. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour at Kirkdale. TO EXPORTERS OF PAPER AND STATIONERY. el J.

T a PUBLIC MEETING of SHIPMASTERS, MER CHANTS, and OTHERS, held at the Clarendon rooms, Liverpool, March 28th, 1840. Lieut. E'NGLEDUE, in the Chair, the following Resolutions were proposed and carried ROBBERY BY A HOUSE SERVANT. Bridget Cromer alias Carver, was indicted for having stolen property, consisting of wearing apparel, flour, tea, sugar, &c., belonging to her ma s t er , H ug h H ug h es, of aigh, and a lead pipe, the property of the Earl of Balcarras. Mr. Hot.ro:sr conducted the prosecution. It appeared that on the 26th of February last, two game keepers, in the service of the Earl of Balcarras, were on their rounds, when they saw the prisoner concealing something in the plantation. She departed, and they went to see what she had left. They found a bundle containing a quantity of articles of household stuff, &c. They went and informed Mrs. Hughes, and she went to the plantation, and found that the bundle contained property of hers, part of which she had previously missed. The prisoner was under notice to quit, and was to have left on the day when the articles were found. The goods purloined were not of much value. Mrs. Hughes, in reply to questions from his lordship, said she had left her tea, sugar. &c., unlocked. His lordship said there was nothing which servants were so much in the habit of purloining as tea and coffee, and the practice of leaving such articles in their way was very reprehensible, as it put temptation in their way. The prisoner stated that she had taken out a warrant against her mistress for striking her, hut it turned out that this was after the discovery of the bundle. Mrs. Hughes was fined for the assault, and the prisoner was committed for trial by the magistrates for the robbery. The jury found the prisoner guilty . His lordship said if he had found that the prisoner had picked or broken a lock, he should have transported her, as the offence of theft by a servant was worse than by any other class of persons. It appeared, however, that temptation had been placed in the way. She was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour at Kirkdale. Moved by Lieut. FAYRER, R.N., seconded by Captain BEAZLEY, That it is highly desirable that an Association be formed for the following purposes :—ln the first place, to establish a Captain's Reading and Coffee Room ; secondly, to endea vour to correct various abuses, particularly the present systemipractised at the Shipping-offices; thirdly, to endeavour to increase the present existing Marine :Society's Funds for the benefit of Widows and Children of Shipmasters. Moved by H. Row Err, Esq., seconded by Lieut PAasoNs, R.N. HAVING POSSESSION OF BASE COIN. William Humphreys, aged 34, and Ann Humphreys, a female who has cohabited with him, but who is not legally his wife, were charged with a misdemeanor, in having, at Manchester, on the 28th January last, passed a bad half crown, and with having had in their possession part of a mould for coining shillings. Mr. Sergeant MTH ERLEY and Mr. PERRY conducted the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS defended. The male prisoner went, on the 28th January last, to the house of Mr. Chorlton, who keeps the Bay Horse, in Man chester, and having asked for a glass of rum, gave the girl half-a-crown, and asked for change. The girl took the half crown to her master, who pronou nce d it a b a d one. Infor mation was given to the police, and officers were sent, at two o'clock in the morning, to the house of Humphreys, in Ma gus'-buildings. Ann Humphreys opened the door. On the premises were found eight counterfeit shillings, a quantity of plaster of Paris, two tobacco pipes, and part of a mould. On cross-examination by Mr. Wilkins, it came out that a man named Thornley had directed the officers to go to the fire place, in Humphreys' house, where they would find some bad money. The Attorney-general re-examined on this point, and it appeared that Thornley said he had seen Hum phreys change a good shilling, which a neighbour had placed upon her chimney-piece for a bad one. As it turned out that all the information had come from Thornley ; that Thornley, who was a bail character, could not he found in tli; place where he stated he lived ; and that the implements found were so concealed that the prisoners might have lived long in the house withont knowing of them, the Attorney-general declined to press the case, and a verdict of acquittal was taken. That the Liverpool Shipmasters'Association be now formed., and a Provisional Committee, consisting of the following gen tlemen, be appointed to receive subscriptions, and to draw up Rules for the Government of the Association, to be presented for approval to a General Meeting of Subscribers, at which a Committee of Management shall be appointed : Lieut. Engledue, R.N. Captain Head, H. Chapman, Esq. Lieut. Fayrer, R.N. W. H. Moore, Esq. C a pt a i n Pinder. H. Rowett, Esq. Moved by ESKELBY, Esq., seconded by Captain HEAD, That a Subscription List be now opened, the amount of Subscription for the first year to be One Pound for Residents, and for Shipmasters Five Shillings. The year to be consider ed as commencing from the day of opening the Reading Rooms. Moved by Capt. BEAZLEY, seconded by Capt. FAY RER, 'That Mr. Revis, Correspondent to the London Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, be requested to act as Honorary Secretary to the Association. Lieut. ENGLEDUE having left the Chair, Moved by Mr. REvis, seconded by Lieut. PARSONS, That a Vote of Thanks be given to Lieut. Engledue for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair, and to W. Potter, Esq., Chairman of the Shipowners Association, for his at tendance and valuable information he had afforded to the Meeting. Mr. WILKINS said, that Thornley hail been permitted by Humphreys to sit by the fireside in his house, and the result of this hospitable treatment was, that he was surprised at two o'clock in the morning by a visit from the officers and police. HORSE STEALING. Thomas Ball, aged 23, - pleaded guilty to having stolen a bay mare, the property of Thomas Hewitt, and a gelding, the property of Thomas Allansom. Sentence deferred. The receipts on Tuesday night at Covent-garden Theatre exceeded £6OO. POLYGAMY. William Taylor Wellock, a handsome, respectable looking young man, aged 25, was charged with haring, at Darenham, feloniously marriedjElizabeth Stanley, his former wife being The Monifeur AlOrien of the 13th instant publishes a de cree of Marshal Vallee, dated Algiers, 9th instant, declaring in a state of siege the districts of Bouffarik, Hamise, and Philippeville.

His lordship i s marr i ed to the ' Hon. A. Duncan, sister to Lord Camperdown, but has no issue. Major-General Elphinstone, C. 8., has been appointed se cond in command in the Bengal presidency. The Earl of Minto and the Board of Admiralty have or dered the establishment of workmen in the dock-yard at Chatham to be increased considerably — the shipwrights from 400 to 500, and other trades in proportion; and 169 men are also to be hired during the summer months, to repair the buildings, &c., in the yard, so that the men on the establish ment may be wholly employed in the building and repair of ships. Air. BRANDT prosecuted, and Mr. WILKINS defeaded. The marriage of the prisoner with Jane Booth, the first w ife ; on the 27th December, 1836, was proved by her bro ther. The second marriage, to Elizabeth Stanley, was prov ed by her father. Elizabeth Stanley was about twenty years old, and was at service in Manchester, when the prisoner met with her. He took her home to her father's house, and re presented that he had married her. This her father would not believe, and they were married at his request. The pri soner, when apprehended, admitted the offence. The jury immediately found him guilty. He was sentenced to impri sonment and hard labour for one year. Thomas Nall, aged 50, was charged with having, at Liver pool, feloniously married Mary Brandon, his former wife being still alive. M,r. MURPHY conducted the prosecution. It was proved, in evidence that on the 23d January, 1828, the prisoner was married at St. Philip's Church in this town (Liverpool) to Elizabeth Dawson, by the Rev. Mr. Bowstead, and that on the 16th December last he was married to Mary Brandon at the same church. He represented to the latter that he was a widower, and took her to St. John's Church yard in this town (Liverpool,) and showed her a grave-stone on which was the name of Elizabeth Law, who he said was his first wife. The prisoner, a remarkably ill-favoured old man, said that the second wife, a very pretty young woman, had been always following him and teasing him till she inveigled him into marriage. He told a long and not very decent story of the progress of their amours, the only object of which appeared to be to wound the feelings of the young woman who was present. The learned Judge called her up a second time, and she denied all his statements. • The Jury found the prisoner guilty. His LORDSHIP said he would not punish the prisoner for the heartless defence which he had set up, but his offence was greater than usual in such cases, from the great artifice which he had used in showing the grave of his first wife (he bad been married twice,) and thereby deceiving the young woman whom he had injured while he pretended to satisfy her scruples. He was sentenced to seven years' transportation. BREAKING AND ENTERING A SHOP AND STEALING TH Alfred Richardson, aged 21 LREIN., was charged with having on the 19th of March instant, in this town (Liverpool,) feloni ously broken and entered the shop of Mr. Thomas Richard son, cutler, Church-street, and stolen therein a number of article s o f cutlery, the property of the aforesaid Mr. Richardson. • • Mr MURPHY conducted the prosecution, and Dr. BROWN the defence. . • - Mr. MURPHY, at the outset of the case, stated that it was inits by gurtion. 3;1aa:,;3 THIS DAY, (Tuesday,) the 31st instant, at Twelve o'clock, at Wm.

TAYLOR, of 17, HotEoEN, (Lon don,) have succeeded in concentrating the Finest Meats into the form of Lozenges, which, from their portability and nu tritious qualities, are of the last importance on board of VESSELS destined for long royages, as at any time, from dearth of provisions or boisterous weather, when cooking cannot be performed, they may be had recourse to, affording all the nourishment of a substantial meal : and to the SET TLER in his new location they will prove of incalculable ad vantage, as one or two 'now and then dissolved in the mouth will afford support for hours, whilst the cost, from their low price, entails but a trifling expense ; in fact it is downright economy to possess them, they having superseded every other invention.

PROSPECTUS. This Society has been formed for the. purpose of tran scribing and printing the numerous unpublished Bardic and Historical Remains, still extant in the Principality and other parts of the world, which have hitherto been allowed to con tinue in a state of obscurity, without any-.effective measures having been adopted to lay their contents before the public, and secure such valuable literary treasures from the various accidents to which they are liable. In addition to the gene ral decay, which from their perishable nature these venerable relics have been for ages undergoing, within a short space of time whole collections have been destroyed by tire, and of those collies distributed throughout the country, numbers which are known to have existed a few years ago are no where to be found. • Besides the interest which these ancient documents pos sess, as objects of antiquarian curiosity, and as contributing to the elucidation of British History, they have claims to at tention of a far more general character, as being intimately connected with the origin and progress of modern European Literature; for it is among the legends and traditions of the Welsh that those materials are to be found, which supplied the nations of the Continent with the earliest subjects of composition, and produced those highly imaginative works, which continue to exercise so powerful an influence to the present day. A great body of Historical knowledge, from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, is contained in the unpublished Writings of Wales during the wars of the Rival Roses, and at least as far down as the year 1500. From these documents, a very intimate acquaintance with the state of society during the above period may be gained. The Welsh Bards were the Chroniclers of the times in which they lived, and their Poems are chiefly addressed to the leading men of the day. Besides Poetry there is still existing an immense collection of Prose, both Historical and Legendary. The mode of proceeding adopted by the Society is, so far as its pecuniary means admit, to procure Copies of the most important Ancient MSS. relating to Wales, and to publish the same with Notes and Illustrittions, accompanied by Eng lish Translations. The Publications are to appear at such intervals as may be convenient, in Parts not exceeding One Guinea each Volume to Subscribers, to be paid for on de livery ; such Volu m es t o b e so ld t o Non-Subscribers at an advanced Price. The Society began to make known its views in 1837, under the patronage of His late Majesty, William the Fourth, whose death for a time caused a delay in its progress, but Her present Majesty Queen Victoria, having graciously ap proved of its object, and become its Patroness, it once more appealed in 1838, to the well known patriotism and gene rosity of the British Public, for the aid necessary to accom plish its undertakings. As soon as adequate funds were pro vided, the Society commenced its labours in January, 1839, by procuring from the Library of Jesus College, Oxford, a transcript of that valuable Manuscript relating to Welsh History, called Llyfr Llandelf; or Liber Landavensis, which has since been collated with another MS. Copy of the same Work in the Hengwrt Library; it is now in the Press, and will speedily be published, accompanied by English Trans lations and Notes, by the Rev. W. J. Rees, M.A. of Casob, and illustrated with several Plates and Fac Similes. The above Work would have been long since before the Public. but for the unavoidable delay occasioned by the sudden and much lamented death of its former learned Editor, the Rev. Professor Rees. Transcripts of other valuable MSS. are in a state of forwardness, which the Society hopes, on collect ing sufficient Funds, to publish without delay. Donations and Annual Subscriptions, together with Orders for Copies of the Works, are respectfully requested to be forwarded to the Honorary Secretary, the Rev. J. Evans, Llanover Vicarage, Abergavenny. Subscribers' Names and Orders for Copies of the Works will also be received by the Publisher, W. Rees, Llandovery.
