DR. BOERHAAVE'S RED PILL, (No. 2.)
The increasing demand for this excellent remedy, clearly
proves its surprising efficacy in those Complaints which prise from nn im.
pure state of the Blond, or the direful effects of Youthful Imprudencies,
and justifies the confidence which it has long expel' ienced as the most
safe, and effectual specific hitherto discovered for those baneful dis-
ease.. Its operation is mild and! gentle, and its effects so powerful and
renovating, that it quickly arrests the progress of disease and discharges It
from the system.

TORQUAY, SATURDAY, OCT. 15.—As some of your
readers may feel interested respecting the wreck of the
Duke of Marlborough, permit me to inform you that that
fine brig (at the time of her wreck a merchant vessel, out-
ward bound, with a general cargo,) was formerly a Post-
office packet on the Falmouth station, and, when com-
manded by Captain John Bull, fought a severe action with
the Primrose brig-of-War, each mistaking the other for an
American. She anchored a month since about one mile
and a half from the Torquay side of Torbay, and had been
detained so long on account of her Captain being ill on
shore. On the first of this month she rode out a heavy
gale at single anchor, but during the gale from S.S.W. on
Tuesda3,, morning last, she parted her chain cable at twenty
minutes after three o'clock. The mate, Mr. John Gulvias,
then let go the best bower-anchor, and when she brought
up she was only a quarter of a mile from the shore. The
chain-cable in half an hour parted also, and she drove broad-
side on against a precipitous point, under which there are six
fathoms of water, and then swung round into a bight, sur-
rounded with cliffs as high as her mast-heads, and nearly per-
pendicular. Directly the brig struck the masts (the shrouds of
which had previously been cut) fell, and the mate and one
seaman having remained on board half an hour after the
vessel struck clung to the cliff. A sea hove the vessel
against the cliff, and crushed the poor seaman, and the mate,
after falling into the brig again, got hold of the cliff a se-
cond time, and crawled up, nearly naked, on his hands and
knees, and when he saw the place the next day could•hardly
believe he had scrambled up it. The fine man-of-war look-
ing brig, of 200 tons, and mounting six 12 pouncior tar-
ronades, struck at four A.M., and at half-past eight. 'when I
saw her, was lying a shattered wreck, having nothing but
the bowsprit, head, and the larboard bolwarks, as far as the
midships, above water--the after part of the vessel being
dissevered, and the deck floatag in and out of the wreck
with the surging of the.WaVeS, while three gallant fellows
were put upon it, attempting to recover part of the spars,
&c. Out of ten people on board the mate only was saved,
and the other nine sunk to their graves, beneath the wild
billows. Mr. Putt (the captain), as I before observed, was
on shore ill, and of the nine drowned the bodies of Richard
Henry and of John Lie (a Swede) have been recovered.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-1110NDAy.

This, the most important Session of the year, com-
menced this morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, accord-
ing to annual custom, the Magistrates of the county claim-
ing right and jurisdiction in th City and Liberty.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS took the Chair, and several Jus-
tices were on the Bench with the official authorities of
Hicks's Hall.
The gentlemen called to serve upon the Grand Jury
appeared, but several claimed to be excused, "one on the
ground that he was not a gentleman, as described in the
summons, and that his want of property rendered him in-
eligible to server as a Grand Juror. The applicant was
sworn to this statement.
CHAIRMAN—WeII, Sir, you have made your electirm
the Court will not, in future, consider you a " gentleman ;"
you are excused.—(Much laughter.)
Another person had the same objection to serve, and,
furthermore, he was above 60 years of axt.—(Laughter.)
CHAIRMAN-4 don't know what your choice may he,
whether you are not a gentleman, whether more than 60,
but you are excused.
More than one individual was excused for being beyond
a certain age, others for being employed in public offices.
The required number, 23, was at length obtained.
The COURT recommended that gentlemen above the age
of 60, or otherwise exempt,. should give notice to the pa-
rochial authorities, so that their names might be omitted in
the Jury lists.
The CHAIRMAN, addressing the grand jury, said that
the Middlesex Sessional authorities met in the Westuain-
ster.Court on the first day of the Quarter Sessions of Mia-
dlesex, to maintain the jurisdiction of the latter flourt.' In
so far it was different from other grand juries, Adverting
to the duties of grand juries, the Learnea Sergeant said
the number 23 was required was required by law, so that ro
bill could be found without the majority of 12 ; so that no
prisoner could be convicted unless 24. jurors agreed ; that
was, in effect, that 12 of the gra:A jury should agree in
their private chamber, and thr:4; 12 jurymen in open Court
should be unanimous in t',eir verdict on the trial. They,
the grand jury, had not to try the prisoner, but to ascer-
tain whether there 'was sufficient evidence to send the case
to the other, aria open tribunal. If they did more than
they would exceed, and go beyond their duty. The
Calendar was light, and it did not require any special
comment.
