This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is new presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either alto4ether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified' practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseasei, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is ne member if society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conic-
vence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of non-
sump, ,
con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons ef both
etraibshes,of what is called pulmonary consumption,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has
hbseeexeaernst'llthwiselleisnedp'ulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing. this work, be directe 1 and very much
assisted in investigating and detectin the too often con-
g
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils aro sure te be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to jute, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his
young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, an thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its
incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled te point out the d s-
estrous consequences which are sure te follow from them if not
relinquished.

In consequence of there existing a strong feeling of
curiosity in the public mind to ascertain the circum-
stances relative to the extraordinary deportment of the
boy Jones, we have made the fullest inquiries possible
on the subject, and are now able to lay before our readers
the following statement, which is principally derived
from the boy's father
The particulars of the boy having three times effected
a mysterious entrance into Buckingham Palace are
already known, and it perhaps will be recollected that he
left Tothill-fields prison on the 14th of June last, having
completed a second term of incarceration of three
months. During the time Jones was in prison his con-
duct was most exemplary ; and we ought here to state,
that the boy most positively denies that he ever was in
the neighbourhood of Buckingham Palace after his last
liberation from Tothill-fields, except on one occasion,
when he walked up Constitution-hill on his way to the
Serpentine for a bathe.
Without further preface, however, we will proceed to
give a statement of the circumstances of this extraordi-
nary affair, which, as we before said, is chiefly derived
front the boy's father. Ten or twelve days after Jones
had been last released from prison, Mr. James, of York-
street, Westminster, and who is the landlord of the boy's
father, called upon the latter, and inquired if he would
like his boy to accompany him (Mr. James) a few
miles in the country, as he had several friends in the
amongstneighbourhood of the Regent's-park, whom lie
would try to get the boy a situation. The father did, not
object, and the boy and Mr. James went out for the day.
They returned, however, at night, when Mr. James said
the places were all engaged, and then inquired if thelJoy
"'would like to go to sea, as lielinew the captain of a ves-
sel who was a good kind of man, who he had no d nibt
Would take him as an apprentice for three years ; that
he would receive wages of 30/. or 401. per annum, and
that the money would be paid him at the end of each voy-
age, when he would be allowed to return home for a few
days. Mr. James went on to say that it was Captain
Taylor, of the ship Diamond, bound to Port William,
that he meant, and who would sail from the London
Docks in a few days (this was on the Ist of July). The
boy's father thanked Mr. James for his attention and
kindness in trying to obtain employments and •added
that his son did not object to go to sea, but he would
rather have a situation at home. Here the conver-
sation on this occasion ended. On the following
morning, about ten o'clock, Mr. James called again,
when the boy Jones, his father, and Mr. James pro-
ceeded to Blackwall, for the purpose of having an inter-
view with the Captain of the Diamond or the agent of the
ship. They saw the agent, when Mr. James said, " This
is the boy and his father." After that a somewhat
lengthened conversation ensued, during which it was
stated that the boy must be fitted out for the voyage, and
as his father was a poor and needy man, with a large
family to support, he must receive 51. These terms, it
appeared, were agreed upon, but it was said, before they
were finally settled, the Captain's approbation must be
obtained. Jones's father was then informed that the
Diamond had left the Docks and sailed for Gravesend,
and therefore they must follow it. Jones proposed to
accompany them, when he was told that it would be bet-
ter for him not to do so, as his mean appearance would
not be any credit to his son, and it was also urged that it
would increase the expense ; that he might depend upon
it the parties accompanying the boy would see all was
right, and bring back his indentures, and he (Jones)
might tell Mr. James's family he should be with them
again at night, or, if not, " they might expect him when
they saw him." After some further conversation they
parted, and Mr. James, the boy, and a stranger (who, we
have heard, was a Thames police-officer), started for
Gravesend. This was on Thursday, the Ist of July.
Nothing more was beard by the father until the Saturday
following, when a note was read to him, stating that on
their arrival at Gravesend the ship had sailed, and that
the boy Jones expressed a wish to follow it into the
Downs. From that hour until a report relating to the
mysterious deportment of the boy appeared in the news-
papers, Jones's family heard nothing whatever on the
subject. The report stated that the boy had been taken
to Cork, which caused great astonishment, but which
proved to be true, as in a few days afterwards his father
received a letter, bearing the postmark of Cork, of which
the following is a verbatim copy :
" Cork. July 7
_ _ _ - . -

" Dear Father,--14 am glad to inform you Mr. James,
his friend (a police-officer), and inyself, since leaving
Westminster, are well. I have experienced the utmost
friendship from Mr. James. In earnest, I wish the same
never to be' forgot. Having a good recommendation, I
am happy and in excellent spirits.
" Finally, I hope all of you are well. Please to inform
Mrs. James that Mr. James intends to take a tour
through Ireland, and will not, therefore, return for ten
days. I .am on my road-through_Brhial."-- [After the
word " Bristol" had been written, it appears that there
was a wish to cancel it, as it is crossed several times ;
but sufficient remains to make it legible.] =

ii
EDWARD JONES."
To this letter is the following postscript :
" My kind love to all my brothers and sisters, and I
hope evermore they will become good children."
'This letter caused great anxiety to the boy's family,
which was not all allayed when another was read to
his father, which had been received from Mr. James. in
which it was stated that Captain Taylor. of the Diamond,
refused to take the boy on board, and said that in conse-
quence of the reports which had appeared in the Lon-
don newspapers he would not receive him for 5001., or
any other sum offered.
We must here break off the narrative, for the pur-
pose of explaining that the letter from Cork, alleging
Captain Taylor's refusal to receive the boy Jones on ,
board the Diamond, is dated the 7th of July, the very
day on which the report appeared in the London news-
papers, and which consequently could never have been
heard or thought of at Cork at the time the letter was
written.

We have stated the father was informed, on the boy's
arrival at Gravesend, and finding the Diamond had
sailed, that he expressed a wish to follow the ship to
the Downs. If he did express such a wish it certainly
was not gratified, for on the same evening or the next
day, Mr. Jones, his friend, and the boy returned to Lon-
don, and after staying some time in town went on board
another vessel bound to Cork. The boy's father was
told, that on returning to London his son (lid not wish
to visit home, when he (the father) replied, "I do not
believe it."
As the Captain of the Diamond would not receive the
boy, on his father making inquiries on the subject, an-
other letter was read to him• stating that his son was
going to Plymouth ; but it appears, that in company
with Mr. James and a stranger (the policeman), he
proceeded to Bristol, in which city they all stopped a
fortnight. What might be the object of so long a so-
journ at Bristol we leave to the curious to divine. '
Nothing is known by the friends of the boy, except it
being stated Mr. James had friends in that place. The
next account that was received of the boy Jones is con-
tained in a letter from the adventurous youth himself,
dated Liverpool, July 15, 1841. The following is a
copy :
" Dear Father,—ln my progress lam glad to inform
you Mr. James has entertained me with kindness. Our
earnest views is ended. A pleasant voyage to Brazil
with me, with a good captain. You will add a calm to
my mind, in believing your son hopes you are all well ;
finally, I am in health,
" My writings or otherwise keep them with careful-
ness. Believe me, &c.
" P.S.—England is a most magnificent country. Her
inhabitants are a most • gracious (query, generous ?)
people. I declare the same, inasmuch as I have expvri-
enced a kind regard from several persons. At the pre-
sent time I am greatly extolled by Mr. James ; his ear-
nest views are promoting the welfare of deserving indi-
viduals, pursuant to establishing them in orderly courses.
I trust I may declare that my kind friend in the
.present
case is a neighbour who has acted on a greater interest
than generally."
We give a copy of the above letter verbatim. It bears
no signature or postmark, but was handed to Jones's
father as having been received from Liverpool. The
letter appears to have been written by two persons, as
the hand-writing of some of the words is evidently diffe-
rent from others. The father says part of it appears
like the writing of the boy, but he cannot clearly recog-
nise it, at the same time he would not say that it was
not his.
On Friday week, Mr. James, after an absence of one
month, arrived in London, but his statement did not allay
the anxiety which prevailed. He said that the boy was
going to the Brazils in a ship of 270 tons burden, and
that the first voyage would occupy nine months, but it
was desirable " that nothing should be said on the sub-
ject, if any inquiries were made of the family." One
fact, however, was overheard by the father, in a conver-
sation on the subject, which appears very singular.
When the boy Jones was taken to the agent of the
ship in which he has sailed, or is about to sail for the
Brazils, the agent observed that the lad had a wig on
his head, and inquired the reason ; the answer was,
that he had recently had the ringworm, which the
father declares is not the case. He (the father) is ex-
ceedingly anxious to ascertain whether the boy has gone
abroad known as the boy discovered in Buckingham Pa-
lace ; if so, he thinks that he will be subject to great
annoyance, or whether another name has been assumed,
or he goes in his own proper name of Edward Jones. He
also complains of not being fully informed of all particu-
lars relating to conveying the boy from place to place,
and the secrecy which has attended all the movements.
Since the above was written, Jones has had other in-

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN STOCKPORT.
1 —We understand that a Tory firm of manufacturers of
this borough, in a spirit of revenge excited by their ir-
retrievable defeat at the late election, are discharging
from their works every individual, however excellent a
hand or exemplary a character, of the Catholic persuasion.
—Stockport Chronicle.

Georye Miles Weston, va
fashienably-dressed gentle-
man, appeared on an indictment ehargint.him with as-
saulting Wm. Metealfe,„4.4okieeman 91the"C
Mr.lloane appeared for ttieproseention, and Mr. Payne
for the defence.

Metcalfe, being called, stated that he was at the Royal
Standard public-house, in Piccadilly, on the morning of
the IGth of June, about ,six o'clock. He was talking to
some persons about the army, in which he had been 23
years, when the defendant interposed, and, asking him if
he knew some one in the regiment named, upon
his answering in the negative, the defendant violently
abused him, and swore he never belonged to the army.
Metcalfe was then going away when Weston felled him:
lie then left for the purpose of gaining assistance, when
Weston followed him, knocked him into'the kennel, and
severely kicked bins. Metcalfe further swore that he had
not retaliated with even provoking language.
Frederick Tothill, surgeon, deposed to the seriousness
of the injuries inflicted.
Philip Crick, clerk to a salesman in Covent-garden,
Sarah Gale, barmaid at the Royal Standard, William
Shay r, hosier, John White, chemist, William Hogg' and
James Henson, water-carriers, were all present, and con-
firmed the statement of the policeman.
Mr. DOANE, for the defence, called William Duke, an
independent gentleman and associate of Mr. Weston,
whose evidence was the reverse of what the other wit-
nesses adducei:

James Mitchell, a job-master residing in Upper Mon-
tague-street, confirmed the evidence of the last witness.
_ _

Arr. DoANE replied.
The Learned Chairman briefly summed up, and the
Jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault.
Mr. Sergeant ADDAMS then said—" George Miles
Weston, you have been convicted, and very properly so,
of a very gross assault ; you have been called a gentle-
man, and are said to keep horses, but, without being a
severe moralist, I consider your conduct on this occa-
sion to have been most ungentlemanly and inhuman.
The sentence of this Court is that you be imprisoned in
the House of Correction for the term of one calendar
month, and that you pay a fine of 251. to the Queen.".
The other cases were very trivial, and the Sessions
will finish to-day.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND ClRCUl2'.—Warwick, Aug. 9.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.)

Ewington was indicted for wilful perjury, com-
mitted before Charles Malpas, Esq., and others, Commis-
sioners of Bankruptcy, at Leamington, in September,
1838.

Mr. Balguy and Mr. llumfrey were counsel for the
prosecution ; Mr. Hill and Mr. Daniel were for the de-
fence.

This case excited some attention and curiosity.. It ap-
peared that the defendant is an attorney, and'that he came
to practice at Leamington and Warwick seven or eight
years back, living in Leamington with his wife and chil-
dren; who were much respected: In 1838, Ambrose Ri-
chards, a person carrying on business in Leamington, was
much pressed by his creditors,. some of whom had had
mortgages on his property. Re consulted the defendant,
and was advised by him to look among his creditors, and
see if there was not some one of them kindly disposed
towards him to make him a bankrupt, which the defend-
ant- told him was theiextlteitHrafte get out or his diffi-
culties. RichardS' dill' not owe 100/. to any creditor,
except the mortgagees, who were not pressing, as they
were content with their securities. Upon further con-
sultation with the defendant, a plan was suggested by
him, and, in pursuance thereof, a debt of about 371. due
to a creditor, was increased in Richards' books to a sum
sufficient to constitute a petitioning creditor's debt ; and
a deed of mortgage was executed by Richards to this
creditor. The deed was prepared by the defendant, who
got 17/. for his services, and it was anti-dated to an-
swer the object in view ; for -though really executed
in September, it purported to have been executed on
the 4th of July, so that full two months elapsed between
the date of the deed and the issuing of the fiat in
bankruptcy. It was further necessary to find cre-
ditors' assignees kindly disposed, and, with that view,
small debts due to one or two persons were increased in
Richards' books, to give them a claim to be appointed.
The scheme thus concocted by the defendant succeeded
so' far as to have the fiat obtained, but in the execution
of it before the Commissioners, suspicions were excited
in respect of the deed. The defendant swore to the
due execution of it on the day of its date. The bank-
rupt being afterwards alarmed at the consequences,
confessed the whole scheme. Bills of indictment were
preferred against the defendant at the following Quar-
ter Sessions at Warwick, one for the perjury and
another for conspiracy with the bankrupt to defraud
the creditors of the latter. Both bills were found,
whereupon the defendant absconded, and then he was
declared a bankrupt himself; and another was afterwards
found against him for not surrendering to the Commis-
sioners under the fiat. It appeared that the defendant
was living and practising his profession at Ipswich ever
since 1838.

The main facts, as above stated, having been proved by
Ambrose itichzrds and other witnesses,
The Counsel for the defendant took several objections on
his behalf. Their principal objection was, that the swearing
by the defendant to the execution of the deed, dated the
4th July, was not perjury in a legal sense; for as there ,*as
not, in fact, a good petitioning creditor's debt the,littitas
invalid, and, therefore, all tbkt proceedings of theitYni-
missioners under it were void and of no effecti''And
again, the date of the execution of that . deed, Whether
true or false, was not material, for even ,if the date were
correct in part it would not avail, as the. dvht pretended
to be secured by it did not exist.
_

There were several other objections, and the Learned
Judge reserved them all for further discussion in the Court
of Queen's Bench.
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty against the pri-
soner, but judgment was postponed. The other indict-
ments were not proceeded with.
The business of these assizes and of this circuit ter-
minated to-day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

CRIME FROM DESTITUTION.—No less than four indi-
viduals were brought before Mr. Alderman Kelly, who
committed offences for the mere purpose of gaining the
temporary shelter of a station-house, and the chance
of a crust of bread. The first case was that
of an able-bodied young man, who expressed
his anxiety and willingness to work if he' could
procure it. He broke a street-lamp to be locked up, as
he said he had not lain on a bed for a fortnight. He was
sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment.

A woman and her dau-ghter were :next charged with
stealing two caps from a shop in Skinner-street,
and said they did so, hoping it would cause them to be
transported, as the workhouse Officers would afford them
no relief, and any lot would be preferable to starving-
and lying on door-steps in the midst of plenty. A fine-
looking old man, who said he had been on board a man-
of-war for twenty years, was next charged with breaking a
lamp on 4now-hill. He said he begged to be allowod to lie
an
longer bear
down in the station-house, but was, refused, as he had com-
mitted no crimeto entitle him to that privilege. He then
