------
BRITISII COLLEGE of HEALTH,
New-road, London.
The principles of the HTGELLN THEORY are contained in the
following resolutions
I. The vital principle is contained in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood ; or, in other
words, from acrimonious htunours lodged in the body. -
5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources—
the maternine, the contagious, and the personal.
6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may, therefore, -be
considered synonymous terms.
7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual
mode of eradicating disease.
S. Experience of upwards of 20 years has amply proved " Mo-
rison's Vegetable Universal Medicines" to be such proper vegetable
purgatives.
9. From the intimate connection subsisting between the mind
and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of
the other.
Hygeism—The science of health.
Ilygeist— A promoter of health.
Hygelan—Pertaining to the science of health.
These terms have not been adopted through an affectation of sin-
gularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line
of demarkation between the old and new schools.
Read the " Morismnana."

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALIIII, New-
road, London.
An attempt is now being made by a portion of the medical press to
prejudice the cause of lijgeism, in the following specious manner.
The public is aware that for many years Hygelsts have advocated a
rational system of medicine, which assigns the cause of gill diseases
to an impurity of the blood, and that, therefore, they are curable by
proper vegetable purgatives. The success of this theory is known to
all the world. and the consequence has been that many individuals
have availed themselves f such success, and brought out pills under
al sorts of names, some of which are most fraudulent, such as " Old
Parr," and also under the names of eminent deceased physicians, who
it is well known had nothing whatever to do with such pills. Some
of the parties implicated have actually forged a will, purporting to be
Old Parr% in order to impose upon the public. New, what the mem-
bers of the British C, liege of Health wish to bring before the notice
of the public is this—that they cannot be reaponsi:le for such nefa-
rious proceedings. In all callings there will be black sheep, the me-
dical profession not excepts]. ilygeists, as a body, consist of honest
individuals, who believe that the principles they advocate are founded
In truth. Their principles are before the world, and upon them they
must stand or fall. They have no connexion with the host of pill-
mongers throughout the kingdom, and repudiate their iishonest pro-
ceedings as much as anybody. Mr. Wakley may find it convenient,
for the sale of his " Lancet," to class them together in order to pan-
der to the taste of a certain portion of the medical body ; bat Hyge-
ists trust that the public has sufficient diteernment to draw the
proper distinction. Everything connected with Ifygeists and the
British College of Health has been done openly and honestly, and
therefore they do not fear the strictest scrutiny. They are, in short,
the holiest dissenters from the present system of mcslicine, as taught
in the schools, and cannot be responsible for the dishonest acts-of
persons who please to take advantage of a successful theory in order
to enrich themselves. Theories in medicine, as in other things, be-
long to no individuals.

NORTON'S TRULY VALUABLE CAMO-
MILE PILLS, FOR INDIGESTION, &c.

These Pills arc a pure extract of camomile flowers, prepared by a
peculiar p!ocess, by which all the medicinal properties of rather more
than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate.
sized pills, They are mild in operation, and have proved wonder-
fully successful In removing every sympton of indigestion, sick head-
ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heartburn, costiveness, eruptions of
the skin, and all complaints arising from a disordenssl state of the
digestive organs ; they require no alteration of diet, and their opera-
tions will be found so beneficial in giving- tone to the stomach, regu-
lating the bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to- c6n-
vince all who take them of their great utility. Per, ons who have
suffered from indigestion for several years, have. by their use, in-a
few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof that in
the smallest compass is contained the largest quantity of the tonic
principle of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole ~ystion,
through which it diffuses health aid strength.

MAGAZINES CONTINUED.
BENTLEY'S.
Bentley opens this month with a prose burbsqtte by
Albert Smith (illustrated by Leech), of an ancient
bailed. It is entitled " The Boy and the Mantle. a
Theft from the Percy Reliques." The incidents of the
story are adhered to faithfully, but by modernising the
language and the manners, and the metaphorsi, a most
quaint effect is produced. Cooper gives us thp fourth
chapter of Capt. Spike, in which the plot begins to
thicken. The Molly Swash having by the skilful
manoeuvring of Spike escaped from the ' revenue
schooner and the steamer, proceeds to the West
Indian seas. They have been at sea about
a week, when Spike begins to speak to
the Widow Budd ebout love. At first the Widow fancies
that she herself is the object of the Skippers admiration,
but is soon undeceived, for Spike declares to her that his
love for her niece is " of so animated and lastin' a
netur," that he scarce knew what he said. This con-
versation is overheard by Rose and
.Mulford, who are
thus put on their guard against the machinations of
Spike. On the morning of this extraordinary !declare-
tiun, the '° Molly SWash,' is boarded in the nelghbour•
hood of the Mona Passage (the passage between the
Islands of St. Domingo and Porto Rico) by the American
twenty-gun corvette Poughkeepsie Captain Adatn Mull.
The second lieu:eitat of the corvette. Mr. Wallace, is
sent on board the Molly Swash ' • and, in answer to
his questions, Spike says that his lading is eieht hun-
dred barrels of flour and that he is bound to Key West
and a market. While Wallace is there Rose. and her
aunt determine to apply to him to take them oh board,
the corvette, as they are suspicious as to the intentions
of Spike ; but the nauticalisms of Madam Budd exeite
such roars of laughter from Wallace and his man,
that Rose, calling her aside, induces her not
,to make
the requ.et she intended. Wallace examines the papers
of the Molly Swash; lookteeinto tateaide and sees
sundry barrels, and, notxiihstainling, thee-brig is armed
with eight 12-pound earronades, w hide were sent up out
of the hold, and mounted only that morning, tVsl!aco
declares himielf satisfied, and returns to his ship, leav-
ing the Molly Swash to pursue her course. Cap-
tain .Mull, however, is not • quite so satisfied
of Spike's honesty as his second lieutenant ,appeers
to be, and accordingly determines to keep a
sharp look out for the brig. Spike, however, alters his
course, doubles the eastern end of Jamaica, and runs
down the et-mit of Yucatan. The ladies, alarmed by
Spike's attention, make a confidant, to Mulford's great
surprise, of Jack Tier. The brig is at length fairly
launched in the Gulf of Mexico, and then Spike takes
all Mulford's charts, instruments, &c., into his own
cabin, where they are to remain until the arrival of
the brig into port. At length the brig arrives at a
group of islets in the Gulf ; aad, there; in a
natural harbour, casts anchor in sa'ety. " Brian
O'Linn" is also continued. Dr. W. C. Taylor, in an
article on Nelson and Caraccio:o. refutes the arguments
which Sir Harris Nicolas has recently brought forward,
with a view to extenuate the enormous crime which
Nelson committed, in being accessory to the extra-
judicial murder of the unfortunate Prince Caracciolo in
the bay of Naples. We are sorry to feel ourselves forced
reluctantly to agree in the conclusion come to by Dr.
Taylor.
" The whole defence made by Sir Barris Nicolas
turns on an attempt to induce his readers to believe that
which he does not believe himself, that Nelson had the
legal sanction of the King of the Two Sicilies for all his
proceedings. This he could not possibly have had until
Ruffu's commission as Vicar-General was revoked. If
Nelson held any commission under the King of Naples,
a record of it would necessarily have been preserved in
the archives of that kingdom. But no such record exists,
and no such commission ever existed. It is possible
that Nelson may have acted on a mistaken sense of right
and duty ; he was infatuated by a guilty passion, and
obliquity of intellect.may have followed from perversion
of heart. We are ready to admit this palliation, though
it increases our sorrow and deepens our shame for the
disgraceful deeds which we have been compelled to re-
cord."

It is. pleasant, however, to find the memory of
another great man rescued from the imputation
of a crime of which he was not guilty. Several of our
readers. doubtless remember the intense sensation caused
some eight-and-thirty years ago by the mysterious dis-
appearance of Mr. Bathurst, on his road home to Eng-
land, from a special mission to the Court of Berlin. It
was stated at the time that he had been murdered by
order of Napoleon. The mystery of his death is, how-
ever, now cleared up. In an article in the pre: eat num-
ber of Bentley, entitled "Reminiscences of the late
Bishop of
.Norwich," by one of his daughters, the
authoress thus relates the fate of this unfortunate
Ambassador, who was the son of the Bishop, aLd conse
quently her own brother : • •
" At a small post town,' named -Perlhero, half way
between Berlin and Ilamburgh, he alighted to change
horses ; it was late at night, during intense cold, anti in
the midst of a snow storm. there being, as usual, in
those post:rhous..s, but one travellers' room common
to all, where many strangers were seated, he probably
displayed his watch and other valuables. He returned
again into the carriage when ready, but having, us is
suprsed, forgotten something, he once more alighted to
enter the inn never to re-appear.
" Large rewards were Offered by the British Govern•
went, and a free pardon, except to the immediate perpe-
trator, promised by the authorities to any accomplice
who would denounce the murderer. The rivers and
ponds were dragged far and near,. but all to no effect ;
not a trace of him could be discovered excepting a pair
of overalls which he had worn at the time of his disap-
pearance anti which were alleged by an aged female to
have been found a few days after laid upon the snow in
a copse near the village. The pockets were rifled, and
nothing found within but a hurried letter addressed to
his wife, in which, singular to say, he expressed a tear
of personal danger. From this strange circumstance
some thought it possible that he had secreted himself,
and a report prevailed that a person of his description
had been traced in sailor's attire to the coast, where he
had embarked ; this however was improbable. Many

tics. Their labours were of the most superhuman cha-
racter, their perseverance was worthy of a better cause,
their reliance upon the capacities of the human intellect,
had in it something of the sublime, and from these rea-
sons as well as from the mystic nature of their creed, the
history erthefollowers of the Rosy Cr. ss has ever been
a most fruitful theme for the writers of fiction. When
properly employed for the decoration of a story, or %her
used in the way of allegory, the can er of the It sit:m-
elons is always it•tractive, and is mostly etithralling. In
"Zanoni," this was peculiarly visibl-, though the vast
majority of its readers did not recognise the ulterior ob-
ject of its author. That object has been recently indi-
cated by Sir Edward Lytt in Bulwer Lytton in one ad-
mirable sentence which for the sake of the undiscerning
it is %yell he has written. Sir-Edward says in his mas-
terly pamphlet to a certain portion .61 the critics—a
pamphlet published, a few days since under the title of
"A word to the Public by the Author of Lucretia"—that
his aim in penning Zanoni was "to symbolize the beauty of
Art." As we may not possibly have a better opportu-
nit) during the present parliamentary session for refer-
ring to the pamphlet just mentioned, we may observe at
once, that it deserves to be circulated through the kngth
and breadth of the land from the fact of its being illustra-
tive of the bent of Sir Bulwer Lytton's genius—a genius
that has been much misunderstood. as (we suspect in
many instances) much maligned. The " Word to the
Public" is a conelusiee argument that the works of Bul-
wer are not inculeative of vicious principles, are not cal-
culated to vitiate the public taste, are not desientd to
render felons heroes, or sin heroical. As to the advisa-
bility of abstaining altogether from the presentation of
actual crime,- Sir Edward exclaims,—" Is this prohibition
possible ?" " Crime meets us," he continues, " every-
where ; you cannot open a newspaper ; you cannot n-fer
to statistics ; you cannot mix in the ordinary world—
but crime is forced da:ly and hourly on your notice.
You must close up for purity and youth all history,
sacred and profane ; you must shut out. frona.the caleu•
der of life the tyrant and the martyr ; you must seal up
the fountains of literature, and silence the long succession
of poets from Sophocles to Dante, from Dante to Slitiks-
peare, from Shakspeare to the last song that has thrilled
through the work—if you seek to exclude from the
mind the dark certainties of guilt." Altogether the
pamphlet is a masterly defence from a most unmerited
assault, and it is written too in a strain of eloquence and
candour very honourable to its distinguished author
We would see that pamphlet upon the table of every en-
lightened citizen of England; and in the hand of every
dispassionate man—it is due to Bulwer. As a continua-
tion of the agreeable serial upon "Irish Rivers," we are
regaled with a gossip about the Funcheon—Funcheon
with " the deep and emerald-hearted glades" as B. Sim-
mons has sung. The most attractive contribution in the
number, however, is the biographical sketch of " Thomas
Davis," the poet of the " Nation." It is accompanied h)
an execrable caricature, possibly considered to be an ad-
mirable likeness by the engraver. The Pearl of the
Bosphorus" is completed, and is above the average merit
of similar compositions. We ;would gladly, did our :>pAce
permit, cull from the pages of the Dublin University the
graceful translation of Moore'i: Nora Creina" into
Latin. • Here is the refrain to the first verse however—
a refrain quite as melodious as the original :
" Obis—Nora mea care—
Ter dilecta, nimis rare,
Lux amoris, fons pudoris,
Oculus tuus Nora Creina."

" Remarkable Ft male Criminals," " A nthologia Hiber-
nia," and a critical article on " Russia," comprise the
remaining portion of the Magazine.

THE OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE REVIEW

There is scarcely a single articlo of any importance in
the present number, and we think this is the first time
we have felt ourselves compelled to say so much. Some
promise is visible in the serial just commenced upon the
churches of London, befrinning, of course, with the
chef d'ituvre of Sir Christopher Wren,St.Paul's Cathedral.
Dr. Hook on the " Three Reformations" is reviewed at
some length, and with some degree of impartiality.
But the paper least undeserving of notice is the one upon
the "Poor Students at the Universities." Those who
have read (and who has not?) about Oliver Goldsmith's
miseries as a poor student at, Trinity College, Dublin,
will readily comprehend the necessity 'which exists for
some amelioration of their condition. Matters are better
than they were in Goldsmith's time we will admit, but
there is still vast room for improvement.

THE KNIGHT OF GWYNNE. No. XI V. By

Charles Lever.

Maurice Darcy gets deeper and deeper into involve-
ment, but his hilarious and generous disposition sustains
him notly throughout. He enters as colonel into the
expedition under Abercrombie, and, singular enough,
Forester is accidentally among the volunteers under his
command. We may therefore anticipate many pleasant
contretemps between the colonel and the volunteer, seeing
that Forester's condition is "unbeknown" to the Knight
of Gwynne. Miss Daly's character is developing itself
very charmingly, a natural goodness of heart evincing
itself under all her eccentricities. The two embel.ish
meets by Phiz are inferior to their predecessors.

`Jail, to answer the charge of stealing a pocket- book. c,,n-
taining 300/. in Bank of England notes, the • property .:f Mr.
Francis Skipper, of Kingston-on-Thame,, as detailed in our
pike report cf Thursday last.
The complainant having described the cireronstances at-
tending the loss of his pocket-book, proceeded to narrate,
that when he gave the prisoner into custody they proceeded
from the inn to the station-house at the rear f this court ;
that on leaving the inn they turned to the right, up the
Borough, and passed the end of Adam's- place, which is on
the right-hand side of High-street (close to where the
pocket-book and its contents were found the same morning).
The parties who went to the station-house were the corn
plainant, his Mend and relative Alk. West, and two jedice-
men, and the prisoner; Mr. Gunder, the landlord of the
Catherine Wheel, did not accompany them. The pris ,ner,
and a policeman by his side, walked before complainant and
Mr. West on passing the end of Adam's place.
Mr. Humphries, at this stage of the investigation, com-
menced a lengthened cross-examination of the complainant
as to his condition in life, his place of residence, and to ac-
count fur his time from the period lie left the theatre on the
night of Tuesday up to the time, a quarter before five o'clock
the next morning, when he missed the 300/. from the inside
of his lett boot. These questions were answered by the con-
plainant, describing himself as of independent circumstances,
that he resided at Colburn-vills, near KinfOon ; that he
supported his relative, Mr. West, who accompanied him to
various places of amusement in town, and on the night in
question they had called at several public-houses, at which
he had previously purchased "sweep tickets" for the Derby
and other races.

The complainant objected at first to give answers to same
of the questions put to him by Air. Humphries, particularly
those relating to his places of abode before he went to live at
Kingston; but the latter gentleman urged the necessity of
his adopting the same line of cross-examination he had taken
when so serious a charge was Made against the accused, as it
was necessary to ascertain whether the complainant and his
friend, Mr. West, were. parsons of. credibility, and ►hose tes-.
amony could be relied upon.
Mr. CorriNGium remarked that be could not clearly see
the necessity for putting each questions; that an alleged
robbery bad been recently conunitted at an inn in the
Borough; that the money was afterwards found not far dis-
tant from the inn, and must have been dropped by some one
or other of the persons on the way to the station-housa ;
that he thought it quite an absurd notion to suppose the
complainant had dropped the pocket-book; and that it ap-
peared his friend Mr. West was at another part of the room
when the prisoner pulled off the boot belonging to com-
plainant, which contained the money, and from which it
was taken. However, if Mr. Humphries thought it essential
to the defence, he-was at liberty to continue the cross•
examination.

In answer to further questions by Mr. Humphries, the
complainant gave a very minute account of his time from
quitting the theatre on the night in question until his ar-
rival in a cab at the Catherine Wheel,from which it appeared
he and his friend had called at the different houses .alluded
to, but, although they had partaken of refreshment at some
of them. still they were both perfectly sober when they got
up into the room of the inn where the robbery was alleged to
have been committed.

In reply to Mr. CormcinAm, the complainant said he
distinctly felt the pocket-book inside his boot when he un-
buttoned his trousers' straps to let the prisoner pull the
boots off. When the prisoner pulled the left boot off he ha •
mediately left the room, saying, he wanted to lock the yard
gates, leaving the_ other boot on complainant's leg. He had
hurried out of the room before complainant missed the
pocket-book, and-" he called out to the prisoner to returr,
and mentioned to him when he came back that the pocket-
book and 300/. were gone; that the prisoner declared
he knew nothing about it, and threw open his coat
and waistcoat, saying he was willing to be searched ;
and when he (complainant) approached him said that lie
would not allow him or his friend to overhaul him in case
they should place anything in his pockets, and he said that
he should call his master up for his protection. The com-
plainant further said that the prisoner did not undergo any
search while at the Catherine Wheel, that mt being carried
into effect until afterwards, when they got to the station-
house; that previously to leaving the Catherine Wheel, and
when the circumstances attending the loss of the 3001. were
mentioned to the landlord; he exclaimed that he was satisfied
of the honesty of his servant, and also evinced an objection to
have the police called in, on the plea that his other,lodgers
ought not to be diAurbcd. _ _

Humphries—Was not the prisoner searched in your
presence at the Catherine Wheel before you went to the
station-house ? CoMplainant—l did not observe he was
searched by either the landlord or thd policeman while in
that house. All I saw was the prisoner merely opening his
jacket and waistcoat, and pull his pockets inside out.
Mr. West, the young man referred to, was next examined,
and he confirmed the complainant's account of the transac-
tion in all its essential points. The witness also un lerwent
a lengthened cross-examination, in the course of which he
said that he was 19 years of age; had oen formerly a wine-
merchant's anti a linendraper's clo t righton, but that
within the last three months he ha en supported by his
cousin, the complainant The witness also proved that the
:prisoner did not undergo a search before they arrived at the
station-house.

foreman at the Phcenix Gas Works, Bankside, stated
that in walking from his house in Fox's-buildings, Kea-
street, at about a quarter to six o'clock on the morning iu
question, he picked up a pocket-book, containing a 100/.and
tour 501. Bank of England notes, in Iligh-slr et, near
Adam's-court ; that the pocket-Look was 1. ing on the ciattre
of the pavement; he took it to the gas company, and gave
it to Mr. Munro, the manager, in whose possession it still
remained. (The pocket-book and its contents were here
produced by Mr. Munro, and identified by Cox as the same
he found, and they were also identified by the owner as his
property.)
Inspector Yates proved that the complainant and Mr.
West were perfectly sober; that the prisoner was searched
there, but nothing was found iu his possession.
Policeman 101 M, who took the prisoner from the Cathe-
rine Wheel to the station-house, state 3, that ongoing there
he walked on the prisoner's left side, and that his right hand
was at liberty; that on the way the prisoner talked of being
thirsty, and expressed a wish to go into a coffee-shop to
have some coffee. Prisoner's right hand was next to Adams-
place. He added that he was present at the Catherine
Wheel when the landlord expressed his confidence in the
prisoner's honesty, and said that he was certain that he had
not taken the pocket-book and its contents.
By Mr. Humphries—The last time the prisoner expressed
a wish to enter a coffee-shop was between Lant-street and
Norfolk-street, considerably nearer the station-house than
Adam's-place; the prisoner and he were before the com-
plainant and other persons In passing the spot where the
pocket-book was afterwards found.
By Mr. Corrtsclumu—The prisoner was not searched at
the Catherine Wheel, but the room in which the parties were
at the inn, and also some places in the yard, were examined
in quest of the pocket-book.
Two other policemen, who were also called in to the Ca-
therine Wheel, were next examined, and their evidence
merely went to show that the prisoner had not been searched
until taken to the .station-liOuSe. •
After a question-had been asked by Mr. CarrrucGiuot as
to whether the pocket-book contained any gold or silver, ur
other hard substance in it, so that by dropping it on the
pavement a noise would be produced, and the answer by the
complainant being in the negative, he having stated that it
only contained the bank notes and some memoranda,—the
prisoner, then, in his defence made a long statement to the
effect that he was entirely innocent of the alleged charge.
He denied that he had taken the boot said to have con-
tained the pocket-book out of the bedroom; that his motive
in leaving the room was to lock the yard-gates, as much pro-
perty was exposed ; that he offered to be searched, and
called his master up for his protection in case any advantage
might be taken in his absence; and that he was searched
minutely before leaving his master's housa by a policeman.
• The three policemen who had entered the Catherine Wheel
were here called forward by the magistrate and questioned
as to the truth of the prisoner's assertion, and they all denied
it, saving it did not take place until his arrival at the sta-
tion-house.

The MAGBTILATE could not help animadverting on the
neglect of the policeman in omitting so important a circum-
stance as the minute examination of the person of a man
charged with committing such a robbery, on the very slot
where it was stated it had occurrel

The prisoner, in continuation, spoke of an altercation
complainant and his friend had with a cabman about the
tare in the inn-yard before they got up stain, and concluded
by a solemn declaration of his innocence, declaring that he
had never seen the complainant's pocket-book nor its con-
tents until he saw them that day in court.

Mr. Humphries considered that the accused had given a
completg answer to the charge ; that he could not' have
been the person who dropped the pocket-book, as he.weilked
