By George Robert Rowe, M.D., F.S.A., ?cc. Tenth
Edition
It is almost a work of a supererogation to descant on
the merits of a work such as this, by Dr. Rowe,
which has already reached a tenth edition, and may,
therefore, be considered fairly entitled to take rank as
a medical classic. It may, however, be not uninter-
esting to observe the means by which that success
has been attained. Dr. Rowe, in descanting on
the various diseases termed nervous and bilious, cau-
tiously eschews the use of pedantic language, he talks
like a man of common sense addressing men of com-
mon sense, and in a plain and understandable manner
shows the causes and the consequences of these dis-
eases,

The mantle of John Abernethy has fallen ou George

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDA.Y.—A court-martial will be
held on board the Victory on Saturday, for the trial of
Lieutenant Mills, of the Illustrious, on charges preferred
by Captain Yates, of that ship.
Two young gentlemen, one the nephew of a Noble
Lord lately at the head of the Admiralty, and the other
very highly connected, holding the rank of midshipmen
in her Majesty's service, and lately doing duty on board
the Victory flag-ship and Powerful, 84, in this harbour,
have been peremptorily dismissed, the former from the
navy, and the latter from his ship, for quitting the decks
during the charge in the middle watch, and for breaking
their arrest whilst under surveillance for that offence.
Lord Auckland, it appears, does not make one law for
the rich and another for the poor, but metes out even-
handed justice, as the case in question proves.
The Medusa steam- packet, Lieutenant J.G. Raymond,
Commanding, arrived last evening from Ireland (last
from Plymouth). She, as well as the Merlin, is not to
be employed in the Post-office service any longer, but
is to be laid up at this port. She came into the harbour
to-day.

The Netley tender arrived with newly-raised men for
the ships at this port from Plymouth to-day.
Wind, S.E. by E.; light breezes, and fine but very
hazy weather.

EREDERIKA. BREMER, acknowledged to be the most
interesting, as well as the most natural of modern
European imaginative writers, is about to publish in this
country, under the auspices of Mary Howitt, whose ver-
sions of her previous productions have been so extremely
popular, a new novel of a singularly attractive character,
under the title of " Brothers and Sisters," said to be an
illustration of social and domestic life under the influence
of that spirit of progress which has recently been effect-
ing such vast changes in society at home and abroad.
Mr. Colburn, we understand, has made an arrangement
for the priority of publication in England of this, and
Miss Bremer's future works, from the original manu-
scripts, so as to secure the copyright, in this eomuonntrgy.the

malady which has thus cut off, in the prime of life, the
lion. and Learned Gentleman, was an attack of brain
fever. Incipient symptoms of the fatal complaint had
been observable in the manner of the deceased gentle-
man for some days back, but nothing dangerous was ap-
prehended until Saturday last, from which time the
disease gradually approached a fatal termination. Mr.
Cripps was sun of Mr. J. Cripps, M.P., who represented
the borough of Cirencester from 1807 to 1841, when the
subject of this notice was returned on the interest of Earl
Bathurst. The deceased gentleman was a politician of
the Peel shool, and was a Lord of the Treasury during
the late Administration. He voted for the repeal of the
corn-laws. Mr. Cripps was a barrister. lie was an
M.A. of Trinity College, Oxford, and was a late Vine-
rian fellow. The deceased gentleman was married to
the :daughter of Mr. Benjamin Harrison, chairman of
the Exchequer Loan Commission.
ACCIDENT IN TUE SERPENTINE.—Last night be-

gone to bathe in the Serpentine, went beyond his dept's
and sunk beneath the water, where he remained nearly
five minutes. The Royal Humane Society's boats were
in immediate attendance, and having found the body,
conveyed it to the house, where every means were re-
sorted to, to restore animation, but with what effect we
