STAMFORD, lAN. 29.

AT Melton fair on Monday senniglit, there was
the largest shew of beasts ever remembered there;
but many remained over the day, owing to the
high prices asked, and. given for those that were
sold.

In the tempestuous weather yesterday se'nnight,
a,_man employed in a water engine in Donington
Fen, in this county, was, by the force of the wind,
precipitated upon the,cogs of the wheel, and lite.
rally torn to pieces.
At Gosberton, from the same effeCl, the fall of
a barn crushed to death a girl who happened to be
in it.

Mr. Bellars, of Norboro', lost a quantity of
wheat lying in a barn, 'the roof of which was blown'
away. The ParsonageLhouse at Whaplode was com-
pletely demolished, together with several other
buildings in that neighbourhood.
During the above tempest the lead, together with
the joists, &c. of the steeple of. Burton Pedwardine
church, was blown over the parapet wall, upon the
chancel-roof, which it has very much damaged.—
This is the second accident this ancient building has
met with within the course of six months.

The hurricane last Thursday was very severe in
this city, and caused great damage, to the cathedral
in particular.
Much damage was done at Gainsborough on
Thursday last by the tempestuous weather; chim-
neys blown down, tiles blown from the houses in
every direftion, and a new building, partly roofed,
at. the South-west end of the town, made entirely a
heap of ruins : fortunately no lives were lost.

On Thursday. last Mr. Cash, of Hainton, was
blown from the side of his barn, while he was en-
deavouring to keep on the thatch, and had his leg
broke in a shocking manner.
' Same day a barn belonging to Mr. Allenby, of
Winceby, near Horncastle, was entirely blown down.
• Richard Wilson, of Wellingore, in this county,
Aged' seventy.;three, who was totally blind, has
lately been restored to sight by the operation of
couching.
On Thursday morning last Mr. Aron Kirk, far-
m'er of Springthorpe, near Gairbborough, aged fifty,
hanged himself on an apple tree in his garden. Nu
cause can be assig*ed for committing this rash ad.

BRISTOL, JAN. 27.

SOME nights since, an infant, about three days
old, was discovered on a totnb-stone in Sr. James's
Church. The little corpse lay without apparent in-
jury, but on-moving it, the head proved
.to have
been severed from the body. The mother is a
basket-girl, and is lodged in Bridewell.
On Saturday morning early, another infant was
found murdered in Charlotte-street, top of Park.
street ; the body was wrapped in flannel, in a basket,
and a quantity of rags. were forced into its mouth,
to prevent its crying, and thus exposed, it perished
by cold and hunger. The mother is a very young
girl, and lived at a cook's shop outside Lanford's
Gate. The following circumstance led to her dis-
covery and apprehension s—Themother of the child
was the subjed of conversation in a public-house at
the time of a young woman going in for'the purchase
of some liquor, when one of the company ollKerved to
'her, that it was s-ene wench like her thar had been
guilty► of the offence. The woman, alarmed at the
imputation, justified herielf with a degree of ear-
nestness that excited suspicion. They pressed their
inquiries, and her confusion increased in. propor-
tion, till at length she confessed'that she knew the
mother; and bad lent to her the basket in which -the
infant had been deposited. They were both taken
into custody, and stand committed for trial.

EXTRACT FROM'THE LONDON GAZETTE.
T has been the study, of the Proprietors of the,
1 well-known ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS, first com-
posed and prcparetl\by the late FRANCIS SPILSBURY, at
his Dispensary, No. s 5, Solid-square, London, and continued
only, and solely, there to be prepared genuine, to guard the
Public against the Impositions which are daily practised
agair4t Medicines possessing the first respectability ; and as
the virtues of the Antiscorbutic Drops have been found not
only anantidote in scorbutic complaints, but a successful re-
source in cutaneous eruptions; scrophula, gout, rheumatism,
and the attendant diseases of the nerves, as the list of cures
accompanying each bottle, given in an ample bill of direc-
tions, will testify, as well as the Treatise on Diet, Gout,
&c. written by .the late Proprietor:.(which may be also had
at the Dispensary), single them out as fit objeds to try, un-
der. their san&ion, such spurious imitations. For this rea-
son, the Proprietors, by the favour of HiS Majesty's Com-
,missioners of the Stamp-Office, have affixed a stamp on each
bottle, printed in black ink, with the words " Spilsbury and
• Co. No. ts, Soho-square,".expressed upon it, which, if the
Purchaser attends to, together with the words " by the
King's Patent," on the bottle, bill, and wrapper, with the
addition of the King's Arms on the larger, he may be as-
sured he has-obtained the Genuine Medicine, as sold at the
Dispensary, Soho-square, London, in bottleS of ss. and 11. 2s.
each, duty included.

WHEN Professional Men of Education and
Responsibility deviate froth the general System by
the seledion of a peculiar branch, the sanction of long con-
tinued success is the best criterion of superiority.
Eight years have I devoted my practice to the exclusive
treatment of Three Diiordfars and the successful result of
my plan gives me additional ardor to oppose, as far as I am
able, the ravages of those Complaints which are the most
important in the Catalogue of Human
After initiation into every Branch, as an Army Surgeon,
I formed a wish at an early period of P.raetice to rescue in-
dividuals from the ignorance of uneducated men, or the
equally dangerous precipitancy of general PraeLtiooers.
The Three Disorders, to the Cure of which I have de
voted my attention,. comprise' every species of \TEN E -
•REAL INFECTION, whether of a recent or long du-
ration: zdly, All kinds of debility, whether arising from
the habits of school-boys, or the indulgences of mature
age: And, lastly,. that derangement of the 'system in wo. •
men which is called BARRENNESS, or ST E RIL ITV
Numerous Diseases are the result of ignorance, or haste-
in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhoea; and it not tin-
frequently happens that the seeds of Life are poisOned by
the indiscretion of an unguarded hour.—By a superior me-
thod such Complaints are easily cured; and, even where
others have failed, I trust that I may presume to offer a
radical re-establishment.

Few, however, are the cases of complicqted distress is
this disorder,' compared with the calamitout situations.- of
Men, who, from an indulgence in a solitary vice, or the
prevalent gaieties of a fashionable lite, acquire that state
of Debility, which is the unavoidable consequence of.,such
pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy 6ufrerer• broods over his misery, but
carefully conceals his misfortune, it may be some conso-
Jailor'. w for him to kno, that although it be an objea of
doubt or uncertainty with other Practitioners, the removal
of these Deficiencies by .the gradual progress of Renova-
tion, is the acquirement of my Experience. f the rites
of Bacchus or Venus have began to reduce Manly vigour,
much anxiety will be prevented by an early Counterac-
tion of this languid State; and in these cases, no•great
dilficultycwill occur. .

But where this Deficiency has for years existed, a proper
perseverance is indispensably tequisite to revive the slum-
bering Sparks of Lite, and to re-animate the Constitution.
MARRI El) WOMEN, who have long been disappointed
in their expeCiations of a Family, may be assured, that in
most instances, such defeas are curable by Medical skill.
The secresy which is so essential to my undertaking,
and the qualifications which 1 have presumed to state, form
the basis of my pretensions, anti in coincidence with such
this intimation is given, that Mr. 13. may be consulted
personally, or by Letters (inclosing a small Note), at his
house, No. 29, Arundel-street, Strand, near Temple Bar.
tr There 'is an additional Entrance in Water-street,
adjoining, and the Name is on both the doors. •

ADDRESS TO THE .PEOPLE OF ENGLAND9i
ON SCORBU fIC COMPLAINTS. IN GENERA-1m
QCORBU. TIC, and other Eruptive Disorder 5'P,
L 3 -have very considerably increased in this Country of
years ; notwithstanding many remedies have been repe:ae"
arc,
offered to the Public, under the most species pretences, an
it is a matter of regret, that after the strenuous effbrts oisc,
many persons m attentive to the cure of these complaints, and
,
the whole Ivlateria Medica having been ransacked for G,.`"l
means to eradicate them, .they' should still gain ground, an
become in a manner constitutional to numbers'of the inhabe
tants of this climate.
Serious refledion upon this important stibjed, has 21
length determined -Doctor Solomon to endeavour to
the. public, the (iauses of these maladies—the
rious toritis and appearances "by which they arc manit'esto;
and to offier_some observation; on the best mode to obtain
certain and lasting cure; and, he trusts, that the destrueli/'
disorders above alluded to, will be totally eradicated in inanYr
'and their dreadful symptoms greatly relieved iii all, who al):,
ply to'the remedies recornMended to them ; in the seleei°..„'
:of which, the greatest care has been taken to discard eve"
thing that can possibly tend to hurt the . weakest constitn:
.'tions, and to unite with judicious acumen those niedicin
which are the most pointedly direded to remove obstrueb°'
and eorred impurities in the vital stream.
It has been held by all Physicians, that Chronic Distcfill,j;
pets abound chiefly among the inhabitants of the' NOrtlie,,
parts of the Globe.; and we have unhappily experienced z'bi
truth of this assertion in this Country, where the freque'lr
sudden changes of the weather at certain vasons ti the )
spread the most excruciating anal alarming disorders anli;
us, by chilling the blood, and materially affecting the'sl.s
of the perspiration ; and; thus occasioning cold., covg,.;
rheums, &c. &e. the portentous harbingers of aiest-e'th
disease which. proves so fatal to the inhabitants of A moll
Perhaps there is no place on earth so subject to these•s;.:' t
• changes as the. United- §tates, where the :extreme, 3r
`Hence;'-t
and cold are often experienced in one day. `Hence it , co .1,1
a matter of the greatest national iMpOrzance, to seek out ,
some general and. decided remedy for those disorders w' nc,
take their rise from obstructed perspiration: - One of the in'ai
;mediate efl4is of this obstrudionis to contaminate the 0
fluid, by fixing the saline particles in the blood, which 03;
tune kindly evaporate, and thus increasing the
juices, and disposing them to corruption and putreladios;
• which is the.true source of various obstinate and danger°°
disorders.
