Never was a work expected with greater anxiety than this
in London or in Paris, and never was a work published ca'cu-
lated to do so much for its author's reputation, dearer even than
fame, as this of which a trans'ation is now offered to the British
public. It unfolds the truth, stamned in every line, *here all
has hitherto been mystery or dark sutpiciiin ; it tells the com-
plicated history of events, which neither legal penetration, nor
scientific analysts, nor the verdict even of a Jury, has rendered
clear to the millions interested in the fate of this suffering
wotnstti ; and this in words so simple,. yet so brilliant, pourtray-
ing thoughts so pure, and yet so powerful, thet humanity, niust
mourn that such a spirit should ever have been suspected eVen
to have fallen. The Editors of Itadsxne Latarge s Memoirs
deem it a duty to step beyond the limits of a mere advertise-
ment. This is no bookseller's speculation ; it is the appeal of a
woman from her civil grave against the sentence. which has
doomed her thither. Imiressed with a conviction of her inno-
cence, they are proud to have been selected by her to be the
interpreters of her revelations, and prouder still to say that
whatever profit may resat from their publication, it will be
devoted to the restituti©n of the fair fame of the condemned
but guiltless, the unfortunate but trusting; Marie Cappelle.
The Memoirs rna4, be obtained of Mr. Joseph Thomas, at
the offices of Le Courtier de l'Europe, No. 10, Wellington-
Street, and No. I, Finch-lane ; and at all the Libraries in the
kingdom.

A PAMPHLET

(IN IHE CURE of SI'INAL COIVI•
PLAINTS, or DERANGEMENT the BACK,
on the late Dr. HARRISON'S PLAN.

By J. I). PARKS, Dartford, Kent.
Price Is.

'lhs Author was upwards of five years without walking, ex-
cept for a short distance, and that after getting under the
treatment. For the last five years he has been regularly walk.
ing about, and now stands one inch taller than before, by adopt-
ing the system, and that after he had rea bed the age of forty.
The Author finished the cure of his own back, after a treat-
ment of not more than nine months.

N. B. Spinal cases are extremely ill understood. Thry are
thought to Le few in number, but on the contrary. they are
very numerous. The Author has the opinion of fourteen
medical men, and not one but Dr. Harrison slid a word about
derangement of bones, and rectifying them, which is so conso-
nant with the laws of nature.

Mr. Loudon, who saw the Author before his affliction, and
since, has given his opinion on the book in the Gardener's
Magae:lne, Old aardetter's Gazette newspaper, which is highly
favourable.

The book is publi-bed by Mr. Brit tain, 11, Paternoster-row ;
and can be had of him or the Author. It can be conveyed in a
2d. post letter or stamp, by inclosing a shilling and a twopenny
stamp in the order.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept 21,
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLA NQet. )

TIIE BAN} KUPTCY OF WHITMORE, WELLS, AND

MORE, BANKERS.

This being the day fixed for the final examintticia of the
bankrupts, the. Court was more densely crowded than at the
former heir'ncr, and proofs (particularly upon bill,) came itt
such rapid ty for upwards of an hour and a half that it
was as much at six clerks of the solicitor to the fiat could
take instructions for the preparation of the 'woad and the
officers of the Court could pass them through the neccs-ary
forms.

St!veral hundred proofs having been admitted without any
opposition, the Learned COMMISSIONER asked if the lylik-
rup:s were prepared with their balance sheet, and was en-
swerc•d in the affirmative. It contained 79 of the lagest fo:io
pages we ever remember to have seen, and from the following
abstract the numerous creditors of the bankrupts mats firm a
tolerable estimate of what their dividend is likely to amount. to.
It is said that ihe separate estate of Mr. Wells, ten., will pay
2Cts in the pound : _ _

bankers, Jan. 1, 1820, at 24, LombarJ-street, unler the firm
of Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. On the Ist of Jarmo,. v,
1826, John Wells, jun., became a partner, when the firm was
altered to Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. No share was
aisignedto him. The former parties had their respective in-
terests continued as if there had been no change of partnership,
and the profit was divided accordingly to the Ist of January,
1841, and since that period no dtviston was made.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USL.
Two young men named Medhurst and Smith, were brought
before Alderman HOOPER, for final examination under the fol-
lowing circumstances. _ _

Of late several robberies have been committed upon persons
who received money at the Bank of England, and the various
banking-houses in that vicinity, by well dressed and expert
thieves, whose practice it has been to watch their victims
receiving and pocketing the amount of checks at the counters.
The banking-houses, &c., in Lombard street and King William-
street, have been, in fact, infested by thieves who apply
their talents particularly to that department of the science, and
in scores of instances hundreds have been taken from individuals.
Meanies, one of the:Bank constables, stated, that on Friday
last, he saw the prisoners whom he well knew to be thieves
close to the Lrindon Joint-Stock Bank. Upon crossing over
and following them, he saw Medhurst within the first doors of
the Bank, looking through the glass doors at the persons ho
were receiving cash at the counter. Smith was close to the
door. evidently on the look out. He immediately apprehended
them, convinced that they were there for no other purpose than
that of plundering. He had on a former occasion taken Med-
hurst out of the inner part of the same banking-house, close to
the counter.

The Solicitor objected upon the part of the prisoners to any
statement not immediately connected with the present charge.
The ALDERMAN asked whether any property was found
upon the prisoner? Merrilies stated that he found in a hand-
kerchief in Medhurst's hat four sovereigns in a white slk
purse, and he also found upon him a gold ring and fashionable
brooch. Smith had about him Bs. 6d., a watch, and gold
ring and brooch. There were officers who knew them to be
notorious and incorrigible thieves. •

The Solicitors strongly objected to so loose a mode of speak-
ing of the character of persons who could bring forward evi-
dence of their honesty.
Henry Bagster, a constable of the Strand Union, who was
attending upon other business, declared that he knew Med-
hurst to be a convicted thief.

One of the Splicitors—What right have you to speak ? How
do you know thAt he is a thief? Have you ever had him in cus-
tody ? The Constable replied that he had apprehended Medlin: st
himself, and that Mr. Dyer, of Marlborough-street, had
committed him for three months.

The two prisoners solemnly declared that they had never
been before a Magistrate in their lives for anything t.uspiciou9,
but Medhurst said he believed that he was once up fur an
assault.

The examination having been postponed for the purpose of
further inquiry, liagster stated to the Alderman that he had
three or four officers of the Metropolitan police present who
knew the prisoners to be most infamous and desperate thieves.
Gooch, the turnkey of the Compter, stated that he knew the
prisoners to have been in that prison for robbery, and Smith
had a curled wig on his head tohide the " gaol crop."
Smith's Solicitor submitted that there was no ground for
charging the prisoners with any offence.
Alderman HoorEn said that they were evidently acting in
concert, and that Medhurst could not have been in the bank
fur any honest purpose.
Smith's Solicitor—He might have beon a shareholder for
what he knew.

Alderman HOOPER said that he had every reliance upon the
statement of the witnesses, and committed the prisoners for a
month.

The prisoners retired evidently pleased, and surprised at the
lenity with which they were treated. Several well-dressed
women of the town were waiting the result of the examination
outside.
