Th., Work which is new presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions,.,hich for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogroher overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference' by the «linary practitioner. T• enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences; social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would he entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no heitatien, however, in saying that there is ao member of
society, by whom the hook will net be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold 'ha relation of a PA-
RENT. a PRECEP I OP, or a '.:LERGYMA:,.

WOOLWICH, FEB. I.—ESCAPE OF A Cox-
vier.—About half-past six o'clock on the morning of
Tuesday last, one of the convicts belonging to the Warrior
convict ship, moored off the Dockyard, Woolwich, made
his escape, and although every exertion has since been
made to recapture him, he has eluded the vigi-
lance of the police. t appears he was employed
as cook to the guard, and availed himself of the
opportunity afforded by being able to dress himself in a
cap and pilot-coat left within his reach, and passed the
sentry on duty without being detected. He then managed
to get over the wall of the dockyard by ascending the roof
of the boat-house, and as it was raining at the time, un-
perceived loy the sentry stationed outside. Every thing
seemed to favour the escape of the convict, as there were
two sovereigns in the pockets of the coat ho carried with
him. A reward has been offered for his apprehension.
The Zoological Society commenced on Monday
the removal of their very extensive stock from the Mu-
seum in Leicester-square, to a temporary warehouse en.
gaged for their reception in Broad-street, Golden-square.
They will not be placed for inspection, and nothing has
yet been arranged as to how, or under what circum-
stances it will be re-opened to the public. Considerable
interest is excited amongst the members on the subject,
as the Society is considered to be in possession of mate-
rials for forming the finest Zoological collection in the
world. A proposal has been made to the Council to
attach it to the British Museum, but this, if entertained,
must be brought before a general meeting of the Fellow.
for approval, who arc likely to reject it by a large majority.
NEWS —News increases in interest inversely as
the distance. In a village, the birth of one child is a
matter of high interest ; to make it so to people a little
wa elf, it nm.t be min., a little furth r off, three at least
at a bi: ;I, and a u lid red miles off, nothing short a a
birth of monsters will interest.
