Dysentery is extending the number of its patients
but the disease is mitigated in severity. Few houses have
escaped a visitation. WIRTJ it has been taken in its first
stage and prompt remedies applied it has not assumed a
dangerous form. But neglect has in almost all cases proved
fatal. The only medicine which has been effectual is lau-
danum, which is prescribed in considerable doses. The
best preventive is care to avoid unwholesome food, in-
temperance, and any thing which has a tendency to
depress the tone of the system. A small quantity of brandy
and water taken after dinner has been found very benefi-
cial. On the first symptom of the disease shelving itself,
which it does in the form of a violent diarrhoea, a dose of
rhubarb with a small quantity of laudanum is recommended,
and in the majority of cases has proved a cure. At Bridg-
water a few cases have appeared, and same deaths have
occurred at Seaton and Sidmouth.—Somerset Gazelle.

GENTLEMEN THIEVES.—On Saturday, at the
Liverpool Police-office, a dashing young man, named Richard
Nott, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a
gold watch from the shop of Mr. Verly, of Parker-street.
Mr. Thomas, the deputy-constable of Manchester, stated,
that about four months ago, a young man, named Howell,
the son of a highly-respectable person of Bristol, was in his
custody, charged with robberies from shops to some extent,
and that his father having arrived at Manchester, no prose-
cution had taken place. Since that time, however, be (Mr.
Thomas) had received a communication which led him to
believe that the prisoner (who was also at Manchester, and
took great interest in the affair of Howell) had followed the
same profession, and, in conjunction with the latter, bad
committed various serious robberies. The letter pointed
out the time and- circumstances of several, one of which
was the stealing of the watch in question. The prisoner
was employed as a clerk in the Custom-house, in Liver-
pool, whither Mr. T. repaired on Friday, and, on seeing him,
inquired if he had recently heard of his friend Mr. H. " Not
very lately," said the prisoner, " I hope he has not done any
wrong again." " No," said Mr. Thomas, " but I have
reason to believe you have also done wrong, and that in
May last you stole a watch from Mr. Verly, Parker-strect,s
in this town." " Dear me," said the prisoner very coolly,
" I have not a watch except an old one that is at my lodg-
ings." " That is strange," said Mr. Thomas, " you have a
handsome gold chain guard now on your neck ; is there no
watch at the end of it ?" and seizing it, he drew forth the
identical watch, exclaiming," This is the watch 1" when the
prisoner confessed it was indeed the watch, and entreated

Mr. Thomas t; compromise the affair, and not expose him.
A peculiarly handsome ring, with a ruby set on it, was also
on his finger, which, with the chain, supposed to have been
stolen, were put into the hands of Halsall the officer, with
a view to inquiry being made. The evidence of Mr. Tho-
mas and Mr. Verly was taken, and they were bound over
to appear to prosecute. The prisoner was ordered to be
brought up again on Wedneaday.—Liverpool Albion.
