SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

HaVas N art,M ARC R 26.—The schooner Mary Ann, Hilliard,
two days since front St. Jago, was 'wanks] by three privateers,
in sight of the Moro, and had 17 prisoners put on board, part
of the crews of several valuable merchantmen, only three or limn
days from this port, which they had captured. The privateers
were in sight or the Moro Castle all yesterday.
PILILAIDE LPHI A, APRIL IL— rhe Selby, from

schooner (privateers). Off the 3latenzas saw the former capture
a brig from the Canaries, with wine and four Droglicrs, and the
schooner was in discs of four schooners to leeward. She captured
a few days before a large Spanish ship from Europe, with wine
and dry goods, after an action of an hour.
NEw Yoax, Arum following vessels, bound to
this port, are missing:—James, front Am.:tent:on; Rebecca,
front Bremen ; and Halifax packet, front Londonderry.

The Mulgrave Castle, Ralph, bound to Bombay, was spoken
with the 3d March, in lat. 17. S. long. 2S. 30. by the Musa,
arrived front the South Seas.

The Pursuit, Artis, from Newcastle to Yarmouth, put into
Hull on Monday, distnasted.
The Betsy, Hosewell, from Penzance to London, has put into
Falmouth, with loss of fore-topmast.
The Anna Maria, from New York, arrived at Liverpool,
sailed lath ult. On the 20th, in lat. 43. 30. long. 45. fell i*
with several islands of ice. one of which she struck against, lazt
did not receive any damage.

Caution I. Goldsmiths and others.—A number of
persons are now about town, for the purpose of en.
trapping the unwary shopkeeper, by purchasing
gold-mourning rings, without the duty mark in
them, whereby the seller becomes liable to the pe-
nalty of SJI. by an act passed in the 24th Geo. 111.
cap. 53, for every mourning ring he sells without
being duly stamped ut Goldsmiths' Ilan.
Fifty-tive horses are already named to start for
the Gloucester stakes, which are to be run tbr at
the ensuing Cheltenham races, and to which there
are 6-1. subseriben.

Literary Fred.—On Thursday, the anniversary
of the Literary Fund was celebrated by a dinner at
the Freemasons' *tavern. The Earl of Chichester
was in the chair ; and a numerous party of noble-
men, gentlemen, and literary characters, honoured
it by their presence. The actual state of this most
useful and benevolent institution was shcwn by the
reyorts of the secretary, anti by them it appears,
that the privileges conveyed to the institution by
the charter granted by his late Majesty, which en-
ables its members to acquire real property, are ap-
proximating rapidly to the extent permitted ; which
if we understood the secretary correctly, is 20001.
per annum.

PEDESTRIANISM.—Rainer, the Kentish pedes-
trian, started on Thursday on the Woodford-road, to
perform his undertaking of ,50 miles in seven hours
and a half, for a considerable be.. He went off
well, and was backed at odds to win, but he was
beat at :.;(i miles. He kept on the whole time,
when he was four miles f.om home, and lost the
match.

The discussions which took place (notwithstand-
ing the Opposition titiled iu producing the reductions
which they proposed in the Army Estimates) will,
in all likelihood, occasion some reductions in the
next estimates beneficial to the country, as the situ-
ation of the finances requires a rigid system of cm-
tictily to be pursued iu every branch of the public
service.

NAVAL AND MILITARY BIBLE SOCIET Y.
-40.-

A meeting of the friends of this society took place
Tuesday atj the King's concert-room in the Haymarket,.
and was attended by ladies and gentlemen of the highest
rank. Admiral Lord Gambier was unanimously called
to the chair. The secretary read the report stating that
branch Societies had been formed in various parts of
England, Ireland, Scotland, and Gibraltar, and the most
salutary results were anticipated (or the future from the
success hitherto experienced. Upwards of 1600 bibles
and testaments have been distributed amongst the several
regiments stationed in Ireland. In Scotland 1000 copies •
of the scriptures had been supplied to persons in need of
them. Upwards of 9000 bibles and 4860 testaments
have been distributed by the naval and military society
of London. Though these etiOrts to circulate the word
of God, as well as (rum the daily increasing demands
upon the society, a balance of 10001. was due from them;
and an energetic appeal was made to the liberality of the
meeting, to enable the society to follow up their proceed-
ings with increased vigour.

Bite of a Viper.—A few days ago, as Mr. Francillon,
4 iasheitor, of Chipping Norton, was walking in the
forest of %Mk!mood, Oxfordshire, he had occasion Ili
stoop down in order to adjust his shoe, when he put his
hand accidentally on a viper which hit him in the finger.
Tile pain was very acute, and Mr. F. was a mile and a
half from any house, so that he could not have imme-
diate recourse to medical aid. Knowing the conic.
ytence of delay, Mr. F. sucked the poison from the
wound, and called on a suri:eon as soon as possible.—
The symptoms which ensued were of au alarming na-
ture; die tongue was much enlarged; pulsation ceased,
and for some time Mr. F. was in a stare of insensibility.
By administering powerful emetics and cathartics, he
was at length relieved from the stupor, and the other
alarming symptoms subsided. Mr. F. is now recovered, .
with the exception of his arm, which.. he has not yet
been able to snake use of.

Dashing Vagranis.-0a Wednesday morning a coach,
with two beautiful well-dressed females, accompanied
by a gentleman, drove up to the door of Mr. Davis.
passinaster for the comity of Middlesex, in the vicinity
of Hatton Garden. Otte of them was aged 17, the
other aged 19. They were committed under the Va.
grant Act front Oxford, where they were forind in col-
lege with some of the gentlemen ; they were confined
seven days, and ordered to be passed to Had, ney, their
parochial settlement.
Sunday night Mr. 3est, a respectable carpenter in
Queen-street, Soho, while at suppvr, leaned back in his
chair and suddenly expired. Two eminent surgeons
were immediately called in, who endeavoured to bleed
him, but the vital spark was extinct. Ile was a young
mull, remarkably temperate and very industrious. lie
lids left two young orphans.
An alarming fire broke out at Clayton-house, Upper
Chinon, occupied by Mr. 1). Hearn, which was catbed
by the too common practice of a servant setting the
drawing-room window-euriains on tire. One wing of
the house, containing six rooms, was burnt before as-
sistance could be had, and the other part was saved by •
a wall. The house was elegantly furnished.

Death of a !!oiler.—Ott Sattirdaymorning about two
o'clock, the shop of Mrs. Wells, No. 62, Great Charles
Street, B.rmingtiain, was broke open, and the depre-
dator had commenced plundering the premises, when
the noise awoke a young man, who slept in an adjoin.
ing room; his getting up disturbed tae robber, who got
out at the window of the shop, and ran up the yard.—
The young matt called to him to stop, or he would
shoot Hint ; which caution being disregarded, he fired.
as he supposed, without of act, it being gone dusk, but
on the watchman and some neighbours searching the
yard, the robber was found dead. Upon his person
were found seven picklock keys, an iron crow, and a
variety of stolen articles; his face was blacked for the
purp.ise of disguise. The premises had been robbed
some time previous, which induced the proprietor to
permit fire arms to be kept by the yonog man who slept
there for protectiou. The body of the robber was re-
moved to an adjoining public-house, and a coroner.*

he lived in Queen Street, opposte the Plume of Fea-
thers, and had in his pocket a letter from Richard Alfcn.
now under sentence of transportation for 14 years tor
bi4hway robbery. Toe general practice of keeping fire
arms on the premises or warehouses, Jac. stud the utility
of such practice will, we trust, prove a proper caution
to the desperate characters who hale been accustomed
to commit such depredations. The sister and brother
of the deceased reciignized the body. It appears that
Thomas Hill was about 2G years of age. lie blot been
in his Majesty's service.

FUM.II:E PENITENTIARY SOCIETY.-A meeting of
this laudable society was held at Stationcrs'-hall 00
Monday ; Mr. I lankey, the hanker, was called to the
chair; lie stated the object of the meeting, which was
one of great benevolence and wilily, to rescue those
wl-
happy leinales who had fallen fro.ii the ways of tirtue,
and were h:isteiting to destructum, front their Oreadfill
situation. The si retary read a report from In: c, tlHuit.
tee Of the soei-lv, which slated that they had great reason
to hope that their eflorts to restore helpless females
who were in iininiiient r of irrettiet able destruc-
tion, had to many c-iscs be..ii ctT ti i, and represented
the necessity of supporting the mie;ely by c increase to
subscription, as toe funds had talk', 7001 short of the
expetices in the last year. The report was approved and

IMPRESSED With a just .Slid humane sense of
the cuiamitous results arising from the injudicious treatment of
a certain malady, and often entailing on its unhappy victim a
series of distressing and almost insupportable afflictions, Dr.
EA DY respectfully calls the attention of those interested, to his
peculiar and most efliirtual method of cure, unlike the advertising
empiric of the day, or the equally criminal conduct of those "who
told the protni,:e to the car, and break it to our hope." Dr.
}lane will nut presume to pledge infallibility in every description
of case, but as tar as human aid, assisted by medical and surgical
skill can be applied, lie promises a certain, speedy, and perma-
nent restoration; liavi.tg made every species of Syphilitic
affection and its various train of diseases the primary objects of
his professional studies, and being flattered by the transcendent
success which has accompanied his mode of treatment during the
course of a long and laborious practice, he is enabled to offer,
with the fullest confidence, pretensions at once the most hopeful
and encouraging. Imminerable instances can be adduced
illustrative or the superiority of Dr. Lane's system, which has I,
been found to previa', even where eminent talent, retained by
public institutions, has proved ineffectual. In addition to those
consolatory advances, Dr. Eanx will be found equally fortuniite
in reviving the slumbering and debilitated energies of the human
constitution, which embitter, and if m* timely arrested, fie
gut ntly render nugasory the very princil al of existence. From
this desolating state of inanity by re-animating the frame and
&Nailing tone and elasticity to the relaxed organs, Dr. EaDY is
happy to convey the most cheering and posiuve assurances that
the sufferers of both sexes may be rescued • a steady perseverance
in the means dictated being only required.—Dr. Earn,' is :un-
suited daily, at his house, 3h, Dean Street, Soho, by patients of
both sexes. Country letters meet respectful attention.
