SIR.
My wife was afflicted with a sevete Nervous Fever, attend.
ed with a violent t eating of the 'heart, lowness.:ot spit ts,-
and dreadful su.l-head-ach, which reduced her so much that
'she became unable to speak-or walk for several weeks; 'and
would, frequently faint and remain in that state for 4 consider-
able time ; together with a swelling in the neck, during
. which titre I had.the advice and.attenclance of several Medi-
cal Men, .who, aftertryir% every Means their power, gave
her over as incurable, and 1 expected every. hour would have
been her last, when I fort,,nately saw your Balm Of Quito
adAtttised in the Glasgow -Gourley, and as the last resource,-
1 resolved she should make trial of it; awl therefore botight
a small bottle of Messrs Baxter-and Co: and gave it-accord-
ing to tl,tdiredions, and, astonishing.to relate,.before she had
taken the whole of the bottle, I perceived a wonderful. change
for the better, and: by her taking thfree mcire,bottles, two
small and one kali guine,a one, she recovered her speech, and
was able to go abbot as usual ; and 1• have nolih but that
'a few more bottles will restore her to i.p.tr. former -state of

NCOURAGED by the uniform . success pt-
/Li fending their peculiar method of beating a few preva-
lent C.oruplaints, confirmed by the experience of many years
in a very extensive pradice, sensible also of the happy etieetrr
resulting to the
„public from men of professional skill con.
fining their attention to a certain class of Diseases, Messrs.
CUSS - and CO. continue to direct. their studies to those
disorders arising front, a secret destructive habit of incon-
siderate youth,- which not only occasions a numerous train
of nervous affections, but entails also on its VOLGai:!s
enervating iinbecilities of old -age. In all such di,tressing
cases of Debility-or Deficiency, -as regularly educated Sal--
gehns of London, they oiler a firm, sate, a,id ileriect Resto-
ration to sound and vigorous Health. In the early _stage cf
the Venereal Disease they are enabled, by a safe anti supe-
rior mode, to etteaually remove. every vestige of the cotn-
plaint in two or three days, and even, in the most deplorable
stages of this melancholy disorder, 'however inveterate or
complicated,
,their plan of treatment (without restraint in
diet or exercise) insures to the patient a perted, speedy,.and
radical cure. 'As frequently arising. from or connected with.
the above complaints, Gleets and Strittures have not escaped
their attention ; for by improved, mild, and efficacious
means, they pledge themselves to remove such diseases,
whether recut or of long duration, without resorting to the
painful and dangerous use of the caustic.
Such has been the agreeable result of a practice of fifteen
years, that their mode of treatment has not in one single in-
stance ever proved abortive ; ,durjog which period many
thousand persons of both sexes have experienced the happy
enjoyment of beiq perfectly cured, after severe and AlljUtitOUS
methods had been persevered in by others to no purpose.
These considerations-first induced Messrs GOSS and co.
publicly to offer their advice, and they presume their pre-
tensions constitute a fair graund for the unprecedented con-
fidence with which they have by the Puulic been so liberal-
ly honoured.

A CHALLENGE.
ipIESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in
IVA his Majesty's service; challenge .the whole. world to
prove a single instance where their medicine and method cf
cure. have failed of the desired cited. The practice yr :many
years in this particular branch of their prOfession,'.has nor
given rise to one, unsuccessful vase.
They continue to dire& their studies to the treatment and
cure of venereal complaints, and that derangement of the sy..
tem ,which is the consequence of the pernictms and wasteful
eft:As ut a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
Sow!! of .hoth• sexes. In the one it, will be follild to be the
unfailing. source ut barrenness; the other have-it S'raVages fa-

Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baf-
fled the kilt of other Practitioners, are by their Present im-
proved plan of trentment, OK:au:illy and permanently cured,
without the Patient suli4ing the excruciating pa n and
alarming hemorrhage which frequently follows the applies-
tion'of the lunar caustic. , In the course of twenty years
exteinsive practice Metropolis, numerous
_cases of
Stri#ures have been and-are daily under theiecare, the total
eradication of which is 4lecit. ed by a safe, certain, and 'ex pe-
ditious Mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted.
The weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this
complaint are speedily removed, and the Patient restored to
sound and vigorous health.• But where the debility has. for
years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative re'
medics, after the Stricture has been destroye.l, is indispensa-
bly requisite to revive the slumbering, sparks of life and to
reanimate the constitution.

Several Noblem.eo and Gentlemen of the first .respeaa-
bility, have been under the care of Messrs. Currie, and Co.

[Continged-from oul Parier of Yesterdai 3 -
Do not 3;ou think -n great inferiority of price win
counterad the preference for a superiority of at It-
de ?—I think that more depends upon. thr sup.l
Horny of the article than upon the cheozness of the
Trice. - .

Then what consumption could the importers. of
thole Continental goods that were imported in the
pret:eat and fotmer war, find in Arnerica)—Very
small consumption indeed ; I have unrier.stood- that
the whole exports of the-United' Stales of
to the Empire of France, not speaking _ofd thejest
of the continent, hare been very-small, of Arneri-
can produce, probably .200,0001.. a-- year ; hat

-manufaiiures they may,-!cave taken back do-not ex-.
cerd that amount ; but I speak not from any par.
ticular knowledge,.bbt merely from the impulse of
the Moment. .
In your judgrrient then, the superiority of the.
British meinufdetores will ensure a preference io
them at any price ?—Not altorther at any price,
but certainly at very stiperior prices. .
In point of la6t, have not the pricei of
.the manu-
faaures of Birmingham-materially increased during
the present war really am hardly competent to.
answer that question ; I know. that the pnces of
iron have fgllen dreadfully ; I remember the price
of iron 221.• per ton, now it is about ill. or 121. ; in
• regard to any other branches of manufaCture, I arts
not competent to answer as to the prices risi'ng-or
falling. I knOW that all the rnanufaOurers of !lir-.
minghatn, almost withoutexceptiont, would be LILA
to sell their-manufactures:. at less than .print64bsti
not even excepting the manufacture of small aros,
which- is about 400,0001. a-year. I have khowp
merchants, as-far 'as I' believe from. my inqUiries,
that have
,within these six.months purchased goods
born the tharlofatturers at less than prime cost,
under the hope of the American lutercourse being
openel they -have (Lawn. their capital from other
occupations; and diverted it to the purchase of goods
.for the American Market. - •
Dv you-sUppose :that the American manufatorcs
you spoke of lately are soperiot toy the British,
nods and the bridle-bit;, and -otber article.);
nails, f suppose, are much cheaper, and probably
equal in manufacture; -but with, regard to 'any
other. article', I am not competent to speak ti.)
them. .

- And yet you have admitted that it "was mentione,
in the exception of those articles, that they were
,manufaetured cheaper in America ? —Certainly
have mentioned that they %sere manufatiured
cheaper; I have not mentioned that bridle-bits
were; but nails, I was toldr were; how far the
manufklure was superior I do not know, those I
saw were not equal ; but I do know of machinery
which I conceive will make them superior, and
that-Machinery I understand' is now
,being perfected
in America. -
You stated the export of 7Birminghatn to Ame-
rica ; can.you state the export of Birmingham, dur-
ing- the, same period, to other parts abroad ?---4
should consider about two or three hundred thousand
a year; not So much now.
'What proportion of the manufactures of Birming-
ham do you suppose is consumed within Great
Britan and Ireland?-1 should consider about one-
half.

• Are you clear of that estimate; is it not more than
halt sho-uld think not more than half ; but I
judge loosely from my knowledge of the merchants
and rheir returns, and what are called the fatiors
and their returns; and the channels through which
the maliulaaturers send their' goods.
What do you conceive' to have been the whole
gross valce of the manutaauros of Birmingham in'
former years, 800,0001. of which you say are eX-
orted to America ?—When I said 800,6001. or
1,000, 0001. per annurpk, I meant merely, the mario.
factures of Birmingharn,--ond, not of the --xceedinlly
populous neighbourhood ; round it, is occupied
by merchints and manntactuyers, who send goods to
the out-ports.to be exported to America. I knov
that- matey of the merchants and la6tors round Bir-
mingham do send goods to the 'United Slates of
America ; and also to nierchants in the out-potis,
who send them to America; but I merely alluded
to the manufacinrers of Birmingham, and the indi-
viivalS included in the town. I conceive that the
whole manufactures of Birmingham cannot be inure
than 200,0001. per annum; I judge loosely in
sptaking of that. I observe in looking into the ac-
counts of tneiciiants and mama-adorers with bankers,
that the same goods are Passed' three or tour tines
through the banker's books.
Du not the manutaCtureaS of those neighbouring
Places you have mentioned, centre, in point of
commerce, in Birmingham ?—They do in a great
degree.

Are•not the accounts of those mandafiturers,
-therefore, as well as those living in the town cf
Efnmingnatn, the .subject of the entries in your
books you have spoken of ?—They certainly pass
through in some respect ; fur instance, the user.,..
chants of Birmingham sometimes buy goods at the
manulaaurtrs in the neighbourhood, and they par.
them bills.*-I,ich come under toy cognizance, but
not to a very large extent.

A rumour 'has been in eircolalion, for a day or
two, that BUONAIARTE left Paris o❑ ill,. sth inst.
for Dresden. We have, however, reasan to believe
that there is noloundation for the report.

PracEvAt's FUNERAL—An article having
arpeared in a Morning Paper, intimating the inten-
tion of some of .Mr. PERCEVAL'S fliends to attend his
funeral, we are assured that 'it is the most earnest
wish and request of Mr. PERCEVAL'S Family, that
the body may be suffered to be accompanied only

by the p +ll•bearers and some of his relations.

The remains of Mr. PERCEVAL will be interred
at Charlton, in Kent. The funeral procession-
will set out from his house in Downing-street, at
—eight o'clock to-morrow (Saturday) morning.—
We learn, that the friends of the deceased, from
regard to his m,•mory, intend to go into mournirg
for a fortnight (commencing to-morrow), as was
done in the case of Mr. PITT.

Our Readers, we are sure, will peruse the follow-
ing L-qter with indi,;nation and horroi :

" NottinOam, Tuesday, Twelve o'clock at Night.
" No sooner had the news of Mr. PERCEVACS
'murder been received in this town, than the most
enihlsjastic demonstrations of joy of the most hor-
rible description were evinced. The bells were
rung, bonfires were lighted up, and a tumultuous
crowd of people assembled in front of the guard-
room, with drums beating, flags flying, &c. Here
they stood shouting a:al huzzaing, and expressing
their ,avage joy by their gestures. In this perturb-
ed and threatening state of the town, the military
drums beat to arms, and the troops being assem-
bled, the It.iot A 1 wis read, and the most energe-
tic measures were adopted by the General to pre-
Serve the public peace. These measures, I_ am
happy' to say,, hive been effectual : it is now half
past twelve o'clock, and all is quiet."

Yesterday his Royal. Highness the PRINCE RE-
GENT was pleased to appoint to receive the Addresses
of the o.vo Houses of Parliament and the Court
of Aldermen (upon •he assassination of Mr. PER.
CEVAL), which was so little known, that several
pesos %%hose business it is to attend the Court
were not present. A party df the Life and Foot
Gua:ds attended at Carlton House, the same as on
L-•vee days. The House of Peers arrived at two
Cclo. k, attended by their Royal Highnesses the
Dukes of YoRK, CLARENCE, KENT, CIINIBERLAND,
and Sussex, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and about 80
Peers. There were only the Bishop of EXETER and
three others present, the two Archbishops and the
other being at St. Paul's Cathedral, at the meeting
of -the Sons of the Clergy, as also the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE, as President of the day.
After the PRINCE had received their Lordships
Address on his Throne, they retired : and, at three
o'clock, the Speaker of the House of Commons,
attended by about 230 Members, presented their
Address.

The Lords' procession consisted of 56 carriages,
led by the LORD CHANCRI,LOI4. The Commons'
procession consisted, of 146 carria§es, led by the

SPF etK ER.

At four o'clock, the Lord-Mayor, and about se-
venteen Aldermen, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, the
Remembrancer, the Town Clerk, the Mace, the
Suotd of State, the City 'Marshals, the Lord-Mayot's
carriage (drawn by six horses) zrrived, and the whole
of the City State was observed, the same as if it
had been the whole of the Corporation, except the
State carriage, which is under repair. ills Royal
Highness being again Seated on his Throne, the
Lord-Mayor, &c. were intrnduced.into his presence,
and the Recorder read the Address. They were all
most graciously received, and had the honour to kiss
the PitiNcp.'s hand.

The Members of both Houses of Parliament.ap-
peared in mourning; those in military and natal
uniforms wore crape on their arms.
The Letters and Papers from L►sbon, by the want
of regular communication with the Spanish army,
hare said very little regarding its movements.—

TTIE TRIAL OF kELLIAGIIAM.

OLD BAILEY, FRIDAY, MAt IS.

In the Memory of the oldest man living this Court
was never so crowded. Every rank and every de-
gree of persons assembled to see and hear the trial,.
of the Assassin Bellingham.
At. nine o'clock, the Marquis WELLESLEY, ac-
companied by several distinguished personages, took
their seats on the Bench. An unusual assemblage.
Of the Gentlemen of the Bar appeared, and every
avenue to the Court was closed up by thousands
who could not obtain admission, and, disappointed,
were obliged to go away. Several ladies of distin-
gui,hed rank came at a very early hour, and occu-
pied seats prepared for their reception in various
parts of the Court.

So great was the press, that a great number of.
eminent persons of both Houses of Parliament, were
compelled to intermix indiscriminately with the
multitude in the body of the Court.
At to o'clock, the Duke of CLAREISrCE and the
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas, ac-
companied by the other Judges, viz. Mr. Justice
GROSE, Baron GRAHAM, and the IlEcoanua, ap-
peared, and took their seats on each side of the Loji /3
MAYOR, and immediately the prisoner was pro-
duced and placed at the Bar. At this mo:nent a
deep horror was visibly depiCled on every counte-
nance. Even Bet ngham himself seemed dismayed.
But in a few seconds lie assumed the same species of
deportment which he all along displayed.

Mr. GARROW called on the prisoner to plead.
Mr. ALLEY addressed the Bench, stating, that he
ought not to plead, being insane.
Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the usual mode
for the prisoner to pursue was to plead.

Mr. GARROW. This is the stage for the prisoner
to plead, and the only stage.
Mr. ALLEY said, " My duty is to state, that the
prisoner is in that state that he ought not to be
•
called upon to plead."
The COURT.—He has no right to Counsel till he
pleads.
The visoner being called upon to plead, he com-
plained of the prosecutors refusing him his papers,
which were necessary for him.

ThqATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. GA RROW both
declared that he had an offer of copies of those papers.,
Mr. ALLEY then stated,' that as his instrutitions
were to the insanity of the prisoner, he should con-
fine himself to that. He then proceeded to move,
that his trial should be put off for the sole purpose of
producing witnesses. He then read an affidavit of
Ann Billet, stating in diret terms the insanity of the
prisoner, and that several witnesses who knew the
fa&, but that they were absent and could not at this
day be brought to London from Liverpool and •else-
where. The Learned Gentleman then appealed in
forcible terms_ to the hurnanity,as well as justice of
the Court, to let the trial stand over till a more dis-
tant period.

Here the ATTORNEY -GENERAL and Mr. GARROW
interfered, and said, that in Arnold's case, the Court
restrained the Counsel (or defendant from proCeed-
ing with any observations, restriaing him merely to
the reading the affidavit, which was accordingly put
in
.and read by Mr. SKELTON.

Another affidavit was read, made by a Mary
Cl irk, of Newgate-street, to the same effea.

The AfTORNEY-GENERAL contended, that this
was a contrivance merrly to impose on the Court
and delay justice. He put it to the Court that the
prisoner has been four months in town, transaeling
every species of business, and he did not call any of
those to shew that he was in that deranged state of
mind they would describe.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then adverted to the
observations made by the prisoner himself respe&-
ing his papers, from whence he deduced that the
prisoner was in possession• not only of a sane but a
masculine mind.•

Mr.ALLEY, in reply, maintained that the prisoner
was entitled to have his trial put off. With respell
to the circumstance of not procuring those in town
to testify to his insanity, he said that every effort
was used to procure the attendance of such persdns,
as well as Doctors Simmons and Munro; but that
one stated the impossibility of his appeatauce to-
day, and no answer from the other.

The Court then consulted for a short time, and
Sir JAMBS NANSFIELD pronounced the sentiments
of the Court respecting the application, and said,

that the affidavits were not sufficient to induce them
to put off the trial, particularly as they did not spe-
cify whit induced the prisoner to go to Russia, and
Low he had been occupied since his return, and

how his mina had, been regarded since his return,
now two years. The motion was therefore refused,
especially as the affidavits did not state that at the
lime when the crime was committed, he was insane.
He was then arraigned, and at the arraigning was
allowed to challenge any of the Jurors if he thought
fit. ,

Here the Counsel for the Cron challenged pe,
remptorily one of the Jury of the name of Brown.

A Mr. Btosi was then objeacd to by the 0-own,
and not disputed by the Counsel for the prisoner,
and the Jury were sworn ; on which Proctimation
was male, and the Trial proceeded.
The. Jury was then sworn, and•consisted of the

blowing persons :
Abraham Lee William English
Daniel I ley wood John Waters
Whittington Charles Russell
Julia Kennington lianes Osborne
, Thoinal tiggins James King
Lee Waters George Gayton.

The indielment was then read by Mr. SKELTON,
Clerk of Arraigns, and Mr. ABBOTT opened the
pleadings, stating, that John Bellingham had com-
mitted the crime of murdering the Right Honour-
able SPENCER PERCEVAL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then addressed the
Jury. He began by saying, that the painful task
devolved -on him of calling the attention of the
Court and Jury to the case of, the prisoner. He
conjured them to consider,. that justice, and not
vengeance, to•day, was the ohjeet of this prose-
cution.

He adverted to the prisoner's life and habits, and
on the soundness of his mind in every transa&ion of
his life, being seleded by others to 'tans let their bu-
siness, as well as manifesting and exercising a com-
plete knowledge of his owl. He
,went some years
ago to Russia from a house. in Liverpool, .and
whether by his conduEt, or miscondu6l, he could not
say, but he was imprisoned there, on which occa-
sion he applied for redress to Lord G. L. Gower
and Mr. Sharpe; .but they could not interfere with
the Government there, and he returned
here, and went into business, and found persons to
join him, and employ him, in Liverpool, as well to
manage his own. as to conduet their affairs.
Then he took it into his head that he was entitled
to remuneration, and sought it from Government
here. But no foundation being estabhshed that
could warrant their consideration of him, his claim
was rejected. He then endeevoured to appeal to
Parliament, but no person could be found who would
undertake the task, conceiving that he had not the
least claim or right to any relief from Parliament.
He then applied to Mr: Percevai himself, who
found that • he had no just ground of claim, and,
of course, resisted his suit. From that moment
the desire of revenge arose in his mind, and murder
was the crime he resolved on. He has been reel-
*dent in this city for four months, and the whole of
est time has been occupied in preparing himself for
ttle horrid set. He informed himself of the times
When Mr. Perceval was in the habit of going to the ,
House of Commons, he provided himself with
pistols, balls, and ammunition, and even had
an alteration made in his chess, by the addi-
tion of a pocket , extraordinary, to contain one
of the pistols so provided. lie placed himself
in such a siivation as was best calcula:ed not on-
ly to commit the crime that he had in view, but
also to elude the possibility of prevention , for he
took his station immediately within the outer door
of 'the lobby of thb House of Commons, a spot
precisely suited to meet every Member as he came
in, and perpetrate the deed without
You will hear from the witnesses the account of
this tragical event. They will detail the particulars
of this murder. Is he, or is he not, gu Tsy of the Ito-
rid assassination, is the simple question for the Jury,
and on that you will decPe ? In adverting here to
the bloody deed, the Attorney-General noticed, the
manner in which the prisoner always conducted him-
slf to show that he was always compos mentis, and
completely so at the time that he committed the
foul murder. From these topics. the Learned
Gentleman adverted to the wicked machinations in
contriving and planning the clime. He then appealei
to the good sense of the Jury to say whether, he-'
cause the whole course of a man's lite was perketly
eational, that it could only be irrational when th
atroCiousnes of the aft was such as to induce men
so chink that nothing but a madman would or
could commit it ? This he maintained should not
be concluded. Suppose that it had pleaied
Goo, for the sake of the large family which Mr.
PERCEVAL had left, and for the sake of the country,
to snatch off the Wan in the very moment of uplift-
ing his hand to commit the murder. Let me see-
pose that on the, same morning he had made his will,
that his representative had tried to set aside the will
on the plea of ins:linty, and adduced the atternpt
and contrivances he had made, as- the proof of
it, would it be said, having in every other re-
spe& shewn hiniself a rational man, that this being
the only irrational riel, should the'refore be esteemed
as sufficient evidence of his having no mind ? Be-
cause he had done this one aet, which was an tt
of madness, was it to be inferred that he was de-
ranged, merely because- he had committed so at to-
cious a deed, that no one else would have com-
mitted it ? if so, theti the consequence would be,

that the magnitude fF cr:ine would to an 00141
for it.

The I_ earoexi Gentleman then stated thelatT
the case, as it applies to sane and insano peron4
clearly demowiirating that the cognizance of figh.
and wrong was alone which the laW regarded IP
the criterion by ,which it considered persons resP°ll-.
sible to the law for their ass, distinguishing bet wee°
criminal and civil incapaci!y, and this reasonTng"
applied -to the prisoner, ad Hog that a man maY be
incapable of managiog his own affairs, that
may even be deemed expedient to deprive him'
the power of managing them, yet that man is n't.
thereby discharged from his-criminal ass. He 551!,'
this is the anti:wily of the' first sages who b 1
written on criminal law, and who laid it dusxl4
that a man, though incapable of condu(ting
civil affairs, is criminally respo:sible if I'3°
a mind capable of disiiouishing between
and wrong. There had been cases, two Of which'
as the most prominent, he should notice. The 61.7 is
was that of Mr. Arnold, for the attempt to eoldet
Lord ONSLOW, in 1723. The defence set Up "61
that'Arnold was out of his mind, and the defene°
set up and proved was, that he was to a cell& e2'7
tent unmanageatale even from his r hitdhood,
of his life showing a deficiency of unoerstanding, a"
that he was not capable of managing ei, her ott'et
people's affairs or his own. But it was prOve4 t6l
he had taken op a causeless resentment against Lou
ONSLOW, had made preparations for the deed, ...a,
it was held by the Judge, that notwithstanding
.deficient understanding, if he was capable of
guishing between right and wrong, he was clOril
answerable. The Jury found him guilty, and lte
was executed: The other case was that of
Ferrers's Steward. He had taken up an untouode
suspicion against him, and had resolved upon potting,
the unfortunate man to instant death. He ova'
preparations, sent for him to his house, Prat
every other person out of the wry, took hirn
a priva-e room, and shot burn. It was prutea
that he was afterwards insane, that many of his
rC
lations had died insane, that his Solicitor was so COtr'
vinced of his insanity that he refused to aS .(01

of Mr. Perceval, shewed a mind at the ittl/
