This work contains an accurate are complete account of the
Anatomy and Physieloez, of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicics.us habits!, while suffering from their inverleble con-
sequences, unvriseie. entertains a fear of applying to a qualified leheei!-
elan for relief. Shame and the dread so (regnently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his Reeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. tee 'MERT hes taken the 'highest
medical honours, as his eiploraaa testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years 13 a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which ".'. has reference aLla
erect solely to the treatment of these

[ADvEßrisEmENr.]—The most fearful eases of
Dropsy curable by the use of Holloway's Pills.—The singular
efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numerous cures effected by
their use, in some of the most obstinate cases of Dropsy, is
truly astonishing. This invaluable medicine acts with such
peculiar effect upon the system that the fluids arising from this
direful disease are imperceptibly evacuated and wholly pre-
vented from any further accumulation. The distressing
symptoms which accompany the complaint being thus
dispersed, the sufferer regains buoyancy of spirits and a com-
pletely renovated constitution. Females of a particular period
of life should have recourse to these admirable Pills, which are
sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

A STRANGE Frsu.—An enormous fish, weighing
upwards of 1001bs., called the maigre (scicenaquila), was
caught during the last week off Brixham-roads by some
fishermen of that port, and sent by railway to Billingsgate-
market on Saturday morning, where it was purchased by
Mr. Charles, fishmonger, of Arabella-row, Pimlico, in whose
possession it now is. This fish is generally abundant, accord-
ing to Mr. Yarrell, on the soother') side of the Mediterra-
nean ; but it is also caught off the shores of Spain, France,
and Italy. The maigre is gregarious in its habits, swimming
in shoals, making a purring noise loud enough to be heard
from a depth of 0 fathoms; its capture, however, is net a
vary easy task, from its great size and strength, that in the
possession of Mr. Charles being between 5 end 6 feet long.
It is considered a great delicacy by the inhabitants of the
coasts of Spain and Italy, and appears to have formerly been
in great request with epicute,. From its size, it was sold in
pieces , and the fishermen of Rome - • were in the habit of
pre-
senting the head, which was considered the finest part, as a
sort of tribute to the three local magistrates who acted as
conservators of the city.

The first witness called to-day was James Mason,
an office!: in the S division, 168, who stated that he
remembered when Dyson was committed. Since
then a woman frequenting the prison had attracted
his attention. On the 17th of last month she was
with another woman. She went in between one and
two, while her companion remained in a beer•shop
close by. He believed she was Dyson's woman, and
she came to see Dyson when he was under exami-
nation. He saw her come out of the prison and
join her companion. She was in the prison
about half an hour.. They both walked away. to-
gether, and he followed them. They crossed Black -
friars-bridge, and went into a public-holm together.
He afterwards followed them to Friar-street, where
they separated, and he followed their companion to a
small fish-shop, where the remained about an hour.
She then came out, and he followed her to a house,
29, Kisee-street, _an& there lost her. That wornanl
had since been pointed out to him by Sergeant Barry;l
of the M division, as known to them as Mabon's
woman. He had never seen her with Mahon, whose
proper name was Wellinsdale, nor had he ever seen
her in company of any of the prisoners. He was in
plain clothes at the time.
Neither of the prisoners asked any question.

He
had frequently seen her with Mahon. She was in
Mahon 's company when he apprehended him at
Hoxton. He had known her for some time before
she became acquainted with Mahon. She was the
wife of a thimble.rigf_ger, who had frequented fairs
and races. He had frequently seen her with Mahon
private infor-
long before this robbery. She was in the habit of
going out on the streets robbing when she could, and

if time is allowed me, I feel confident I shall catch the

others.

were sitting together.
Superintendent Haynes, who has charge of the
case, stated that the surgeon who examined Mahen'4
hand was in attendance.
Police-constable Lockerby, 180 S, stated that he
saw Mason point out the woman to Sergeant Barry.
It was at Galloway's, the George public-house, in the
Mint. On Friday night he was at the "douse of
Detention, when he saw the same female in conver-
sation with Mahon, and afterwardt he saw the same
female go out and join two other females and three
men at a neighbouring public-house. One of the
females lives with Mitchell.

Mr. Broughton—How do you know that ? Lock-
erby—She told me so.
Mr. Broughton—Oh, that will not do. This is
not evidence.

Lockerby—But the same woman was dressing
Mitchell's wounds when he was arrested.

Mason said Lockerby had pointed this woman out
to him, and the w&s the same who was dressing
Mitchell's Rounds when he arrested him.

Mr. Joseph, the surgeon of Great Marylebone-
street, stated that he had examined the hands of
Mahon. One of them was cut, while on the other
there were the marks of three distinct shot wounds.
He examined his body all over, but found no other
marks of wounds or injuries. The circular form of
the wounds, together with their indentation, led him to
believe that they were the result of a gun shot. The
wounds were on the right hand.
Prisoner—Could not the wounds have been caused
by a fall on a gravel ground ? Witness—l should
think not.

Mr. Broughton—Could they have been caused by
getting over a spike fence ? Witness—No, I think not.
Mr. Broughton—Had any shots been extracted?
Witness—l do not know. The wounds are very
superficial, and no doubt they could have been easily
extracted without a cutting instrument.
Mr. Paul, who fired the shots, stated that the guns
were levied with gun-shot and slugs.
Mr. Broughton—When you fired in the bush, did
you hear any one cry out ? Witness—Yes, I heard
something like the voice of a man.
Mahon asked Mr. Joseph if he thought at the time
a sufficient interval had elapsed to admit of the
wounds healing if the shots had been extracted ?
Mr. Joseph replied in the affirmative.
Prisoner—And you say the wounds could not have
been caused by a fall on a gravel walk ? Witness—
No, wounds caused in that manner would not have
been more than skin deep.
Mr. Collins, the surgeon of Morningtoneplace,
stated that he was at the station on Monday last at.
a quarter to two o'clock, where he eaw Mitchell, who
complained of being in much pain. Mitchell said the
officer had brought him away before his wounds had
been dressed. He examined the body of the pri-
soner and found parts of his arm and right shoulder
enveloped in poultices. On his back he discovered
twelve gun-shot wounds. The prisoner admitted
that they were gun -shot wounds, but he did not say
how he got them. The prisoner appeared to
have been
shot from the back of the neck downwards.
Police-constable D 31, produced a hat which he
found at the York and Albany.
Mr. Broughton—Do you see shot holes in that
hat, Mr. Collins? Witness—Yes.
Mr. Broughton—Are there poultices on
the pri-
soner now ? Witness—Yes, on his neck.
id l ou
Mr. Broughton—When you examined him
take the poultices off? Witness—No, Idi not do
so, because the prisoner was in too much pain:
Mr. Broughton—Could any of the shots which__ you
saw have passed through a hat ? Witness—No, I
think not, they were too low down.
Mr. Broughton—Did you examine the bead ? Wit-
ness No. - - -

prisoner Robinson, and was prepared to prove an
alibi. He bad witnesses to show that on the night of
the attempted robbery his client was far away from
the spot.
The witness Bennett was recalled for the purpose
of being cross-examined by Mr. Wontner. He said
severala
he fired the gun, and at the time he did so he saw
three man. They had got out of a window and were

He afterwards examined the trees, and found there
we
have spread, and he did not think he could have
missed any of them. One of them cried out
" Oh, God !" as pretty
shots appeared to
heavily loaded.
Paul, the butler, stated that he loaded the gun
with swan shot and ball. It was about three or four
months ago. He fired the pistol, and though it was
possible he might have missed his man, he did not
think be did. It was a double-barrelled i
P•stol, and
loaded with ball.
Mr. Wontner, upon the strength of this evidence,
urged that the fact of his client having no wounds
about his person was itself presumptive evidence of
his not having been present at the time of the at-
tempted robbery.
Henry Aston, of 27, Craven-street, City
-road,
road,
stated that he was a 'busman, and knew the brother
of Robinson, who lived at 14, Canton-terrace, Hox-
ton. On Sunday, the 14th of last month, he was at
Robinson's brother's house till about half-past eleven
o'clock. He then left, in company with' Robinson,
the prisoner, to see a young woman home to Shore-
ditch. Afterwards they repaired to a public-house in
Union-street, where they remained till the house
closed, and at half-past twelve he left the prisoner
at Canton-terrace.
Cress-examined—lle believed Canton-terrace was
about four miles from the King's cress.
William Morton, of 13, Union-buildings, Union- '
street, Hackney-road, cork-cutter, gave similar evi-
dence to the last witness. He saw the prisoner at,
the Union public-house, in Union street, on the night
of the robbery up till five or ten minutes past twelve
o'clock. •

lora, Nov. 4.—The two men, George Roberts
144 Charles Dowe, charged with breaking into the
West Surrey Branch Bank, in this town, on the
night of Thursday last, were brought up for re-
examination this morning before the bench of magis-
trates sitting at Careless'6 Coffee-house, in the High-
street.

The Baron do Tessier, chairman of the bench, pre-
sided. Mr. H. Gosse and Mr. E. H. Northey were
also present.
The prisoners were brought from Kingston gaol at
an early hour, and on the arrival of the magistrates at
eleven o'clock they were brought into court. Both of
them looked very much chapfallen. An officer was
placed between them.
The first witness called was Mr. J. Holland, who
deposed to living in the High-street, next door to the
bank. His bedroom window looked out upon the
back office of the bank, and on Friday morning last,
having occasion to get out of bed, his attention was
attracted to a light in that apartment. He called up
his wife, and they together observed the figures of
two men apparently engaged in breaking open the
cupboards. Witness called out of his window, upon
which the thieves put out their light and hastily
decamped. Witness went to the police-station to
give an alarm, and there saw the two prisoners
in custody. Roberts was one of the men he saw in
the bank.

Nary Holland, wife of the last witness, corrobo-
rated his evidence, and identified Roberts as the man
she had seen holding the candle while the other man
broke open a cupboard.
Police-constable George Dymock, 307 V, proved
being on duty, about half-past 2 o'clock on Friday
morning, in the High-street of Epsom. Witness
observed the two prisoners walking togetheryin the
direction of London, and was induced to speak to
them. Witness asked them what they had got. The
prisoner Roberts said he had got nothing but what
belonged to him. Witness, not feeling satisfied,
seized him, and found the chisel or jemmy produced
in his coat pocket; and whilst searching him further,
the other prisoner (Dowe) came up violently and
said witness had no business with Roberts, that be
had only got what belonged to him. Witness
then seized the other prisoner and held them
both until police-constable Elliot, 213 V, came up,
when they took them to the station. On being
searched, there was found on the prisoner Roberts
one box of lucifer matches, five metal spoons, one
silver caddy spoon, two silver teaspoons marked
" R. P.," two dozen penny postage stamps, a penknife,
a large clasp knife, a pocket comb, a franc piece, a
half-franc, one halferown, three shillings, three six-
pences, twelve fourpenny pieces, and 101. in coppers,
four cancelled cheques drawn by William Piggott on
Messrs. Mangles, and various other articles. On
the prisoner Charles Dowe were found some
boiled meat and bread and a box of
lucifer matches. Both the prisoners said they
had picked the things up. Witness went subse-
quently with Sergeant Kennedy to Mr. Moore's
premises, and found they had been entered by remov-
ing the window of a small room occupied by Messrs.
Mangles as the West Surrey Branch Bank, and
forcing out an iron bar so as to admit the entrance of
a man. A cupboard in this room bad been forced, a
desk broken open, and an iron safe had been attempted
to be forced. In the front office the till had been
broken open, and papers belonging to the bank were
scattered about in all directions. Witness subse-
quently went into Mr. Moore's private apartments
found a desk broken open, cupboards forced, and the
place all in confusion. On the prisoner Roberts wit-
ness found a small crowbar called a " jemmy," which
corresponded exactly with the cupboard and desk
broken open. _ _

Police-constable Elliott, 213 IT, corroborated the
last witness, and proved having taken from the pri-
soner Dowe a coat, which he said he had found.
Sergeant Kennedy confirmed the evidence of thel
two previous witnesses as to the state of Mr. Moore 's
premises.
Mr. Resta Moore, fellmonger, of High-street, Ep-
som, said be let two rooms in his house to Messrs.
Mangles Brothers, who occupied them as a branch
of the West Surrey Bank. The premises were
always locked up by witness's brother, Mr. Felix.
Moore, and witness could swear that they were pro-
perly secured on Thursday night. When aroused on
Friday morning witness found that the house had been
entered during the night through the window of the
small office belonging to the bank. Witness was
not aware that he had lost anything at that time, but
he afterwards saw upon one of the prisoners at the
police-station a great coat belonging to him, in the
w pockets of -hich were some silver spoons also his
property. The property was produced and identified.
Mr. T. F. Everingham deposed to being manager
of the
_Epsom branch of the Guildford Bank, carried
on by .Messrs. Mangles Brothers. Witness secured
all the property, and left the bank about a quarter-
past lour o'clock on Thursday last. At five o'clock
on Friday morning he was informed that the bank
had been broken open, and on proceeding thither he
found the till forced, and all the money which he had
left in it, amounting to 13% 6d., abstracted therefrom.
The money consisted of silver and copper coins, two
French coins, and an American piece of money.
Witness believed the coins produced to be the same
that had been stolen. A pair of gold spectacles and
some cancelled cheques were also missing from a
drawer in the front office. The spectacles and
cheques having been produced, were identified by the
witness.

Mr. Felix Moore formally proved having fastened
the window through which the robbers had entered
on the Thursday evening.
The prisoners, having bun duly cautioned by
the Chairman, were asked if they wished to say
anything to the charge made against them.
Roberts said—Yes, Sir, I do. I was in Guildford
on the 31st of October, and while on my way to
Epsom, or more properly speaking to London, I met
my fellow-prisoner. We came together, and on our
way through this town we saw this parcel tied up in
a handkerchief. We took it up and carried it behind
the engine hope, where we opened it. I thought it
might have Been a child. When we saw what it
contained, Dowe put on the coat and put some things
in his pockets. I put some things in mine, and as
the things were found so I found them in the parcel.
The Chairman—ls that your statement ? Ro-
berts—Yes.
The coolness with which the prisoner gave this ex-
traordinary explanation excited some laughter in the
court.
The prisoner Dowe said he had nothing to say.
The Chairman then told both prisoners that they
stood severally committed for trial for the crime of
burglary, and warrants having been placed in the
hands of the proper officers the accused were re-
moved.
At the close of the proceedings,
Mr. R. Moore begged publicly to express his gra-
titude to the police of the town of Epsom, whose
conduct in the affair he considered had been exceed-

on the part of Messrs. Mangles,
cordially agreed with Mr. Moore.
The Chairman said he thought the officers were
certainly entitled to all praise. He also considered
that the usefulness of the power of search given under
the Metropolitan Police Act had never been more
clearly demonstrated than in the present case.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.--We believe. that
we may state, from good authority, that this magnificent
undertaking is now in a fair way of being speedily accom-
plished. ad the work been finished before the opening of
the Great Exhibition, such a local wonder would have proved
highly profitable to the Great Western Railway Company,
and no doubt beneficial to our fellow-trade§rnen.—Bristot

TIMES.—Mr. George Anthony Denison has thought
fit to give to our arguments upon the reeent assumption
of authority in this country by the Court of Rome pre—
cisely that finishing touch which was needed to clench
the rivets and to drive them home. We should have
scrupled to ascribe to any Eaglish clergyman, or to any
faction in the English Church, opinions so inconsistent
with their position and their solemn engagements as
those which Mr. Denison takes pleasure in expressing.
But, since he asserts those opinions, and continues to
hold a living in the Church of England, we cannot refuse
him the benefit of his candour. It may be remembered
—for the most obscure and foolish persons are sometimes
rescued from oblivion by the absurdity of their actions—
that Mr. Denison is the same clergyman who a few
months ago delivered to the astonished churchwarders
of East Brent a deliberate pretest against the Queen's
supremacy in a cause ecclesiastical, and he has also con-
tributed, by a mischievous agitation of extreme opinions
connected with education, to reduce the National Society
to its present state of discord and penury. But he had
reserved for the present occasion a still more startlieg
announcement of the views taken by himself nod his
friends of the relations of Church and State in this
country; and, at a moment when every minor shade
of difference is merged in the common determination of
resistance to Rome, we are told by this member of our
communion that " the warfare which the Church of
England has to wage in these days is only secondarily
against Rome; her first and greatest enemy is the lett-
tuninariaiiism of the State." In other words, there is
but one class of men to be Lund amongst us at this
time who presume to palliate the Papal claims to supre-
macy iu England, and they are precisely the class who,
ou a former occasion, have denied the Queen's supre-
macy. We acknowledge their consistency, but it is at
the expense of their allegiance and their good faith; for,
in attempting to burst those salutary bonds of union
which have served for many centuries to unite the Church
and State of this realm, they are thrown by the vehe
menee of their own efforts at the Let of a foreign spiritual
power, and they are more hostile to the national esta-
blishment which they profess to serve than to the Italian
pica who claims their obedience in the name of the
Catholic Church. We are obliged to Mr. Denison for
throwing aside all disguise, and we readily treat him
with equal frankness. The opinions which he expresses
are precisely what would be termed in Scotland Free
Church principles, and indeed, by a curious coincidence,
the only journal iu which we have found any defence of
the re ,v Papal bishoprics is a Scotch print affected to
that party. The emancipation of the Church from all
connexion with the State and with the law can never be
so completely accomplished as by the introductioe of a
spiritual authority part count, which shall be foreign to
this country. Tae power of the Church of Rome is the
realization of that ideal scheme for the whole world.
For that very reason it is essentially despotic, irrespon-
sible, intolerant, and anti-national; and, for that same
reason, the exercise of such an authority is infinitely
less distasteful to Mr. Denison than the legal au-
thority of the Church of his country in connexion
with the State. We can dircovcr but one distinc-
tion between him and the more direct opponents
of the royal supremacy and the National Church;
the Ruralist' bishops have as yet laid no claim to the
temporalities of the realm, and the Scotch Free Church
ministers actually renounced their benefices : Mr.
Denison retains the living of East Brent by virtue of the
very laws against which he rebels. But enough of this
whimsical exception to the strenuous and all-pervading
spirit which has now happily been roused throughout
the country. It is a maxim of the law of England, at
least as old as the reign of Edward 1., that every en-
couragement of the Papal power in this kingdom is a
diminution cf the authority of the Crown, and It was in
pursuance of this deetriue that all the subsequent
statutes of prccmunire for the repression of the Papal
power were passed in the 14th and 15th centuries of our
era. Their antiquity sufficiently denotes that they had
no connexion with the peculiar theological doctrines of
the Reformation, or with the great schism of
the 16th century. They were passed as statutes
for the security and independence of the realm.
They were not only obeyed, but upheld, by the An-
glican clergy of those days ; and, whatever may have
become of the numerous penal statutes of the 17th
and 18th centuries which have since been enacted
and repealed, these ancient laws have not lost their effi-
cacy. On the contrary, they may be said to have re-
gained it, for when the Roman Catholic religion was
absolutely proscribed in this country the laws which
once curbed the Pope's authority were eclipsed by mea-
sures of greater rigour; but with the return of a more
tolerant period, which concedes to the Romish Church
a free existence and equal rights, it is fitting we take
care that those rights do not exceed the privileges she
enjoyed in Britain when the whole nation and the Crown
itself professed the faith of Rome. The offence, says
Sir W. Blackstone, in his Commentaries, known to the
law of England as prcemunire, is that of introducing a
foreign power into this land, and creating imperium in
iraperio, by paying that obedience to Papal pr..et.sa which
constitutionally belonged to the King alone long before
the Reformation in the reign of Henry VIII. By the
13th and by the 16th Richard 11., whoever procures at
Rome or elsewhere any translations (of bishops), pro-
cesses, bulls, instruments, or other things which
touch the Kiug, against him, his crown, and
realm, Sec., shall incur the penalties of prcemunire;
and by the 2d Henry IV., cap. 3, all per-
sons who accept any provision from the Pope
to be exempt from canonical obedience to their
proper ordinary are subject to the same penalties. In
1439 a provincial snoyd of the English clergy refused to
confirm and allow a Papal bull hostile to these laws,
and the then Archbishop of Canterbury in the preceding
year refused to consecrate a bishop whom the Pope,
Eugenius IV., had presumed to nominate. The statute
of prcemunire, "illud execrabile statutum," as it was
styled by Pope Martin V., was maintained in force in
Catholic times as an effectual bar to the excessive power
of the Court of Rome. Since the accession to office of
the present Government, it will be remembered that a
direct recognition has been given by Parliament of the
force and validity of these ancient statutes by the ex-
ception made to them for the purpose, of accrediting a
diplomatic agent to the Court of Rome, but we are not
aware that their authority has been otherwise abrogated
or impaired, and that exception sanctions the rule. The
defence set up by the Roman Catholic priesthood, in
answer to the vehement remonstrances of their country-
men, is utterly inconsistent with the exultation shown.by
them in other quarters on the restoration of the hierarchy.
We ere now told that the whole change is nothing—
a mere name—a title without significance—a dominion
without subjects—a shepherd without a fleck; and we
are to believe that this intervention of the Papal autho-
rity with unwonted solemnity " in perpetuam rei memo-
riam," is a mere formality of small account. The mag-
niloquence of the Papal bull, and of the Cardinal's pas-
toral letter, are ludicrously contrasted with the inter-
pretation thus put upon them; and great surprise is ex-
pressed that we should remonstrate against a bull which
is so small and harmless an one. But, in the judgment
of the Church and the people of England, no usurpation
of authority by foreigners and intruders is small or
harmless. If Cardinal Wiseman claims to govern the
metropolitan counties as their ordinary, he claims what
belongs to another, and ho claims that authority speci-
fically under a commission repugnant to our laws. Mr.
Denison, we must infer from his letter, is prepared to
enter upon the duties of this new form of canonical obe-
dience in order to release himself from the painful obli-
gations of English law; but we are happy to think that
he disagrees in this matter not only from ourselves, but
from all that is most patriotic, learned, and eminent in
that Church of which the Vicar of East Brent is still an
unworthy member.
DAILY NEWS.—The German riddle approaches
near to at least a temporary solution, and one which will
be far from satisfying even the most moderately consti-
tutional of the liberals of that country. The Czar of
Russia had formally and peremptorily signified his pro•
hibition cf anything partaking of the ipopular represen-
tative principle in the federal bond or system of Germany.
Whilst Austria was prepared to enforce this prohibition
by arms, and Russia was, of course, ready to support
her, France was loud in menace, dhless the Frankfort
Diet, that negation of the representative principle, was
allowed to settle the Holstein question after its fashion.
England joined in the chorus, not indeed so far as it is
alleged, for Lord Cowley did not recognise the full au-
thority of the Frankfort Diet, as the Times alleged.
But still in one of the critical points at issue the English
Cabinet was against Prussia, not with her. Thus beset
by a universal, a European league, Prussia has
yielded. How far she has yielded with honour
wilt be a subject of much diversity of opinion. Before
we undertake to pass judgment on that point, let us
endeavour to see how much has been yielded, and
how much maintained. In the first place, Prussia con-
sents not to abolish but to defer any popular representa-
tive eater:ably fur those states of Germany which have
joined its union. On the other hand, Russia and Aus-
tria consent to desist from their previous demand, that
Prussia and her allies should re-enter the resuscitated
Diet at Frankfort. Union and Diet are both susrended
for the moment, and the question of the federation re-
ferred to free conferences, to be held by delegates from
the thirty-four German stater. This free conference
Prussia has been long demanding, and it was long re-
fused her. Sbe wished the meeting to take place at
Dresden, but Vienna has been fixed as the place of
meeting. Prussia also demanded that these conferences
should be held under the joint presidence of Austria
and Prussia. Austria refused this, not objecting to
the alternate presidency as the rule of future settle-
ment, but refusing to give up as a preliminary what she
might make use of as a concession in negotiation. The
chief question which hero suggests itself is, whether the
union of those states which grouped around Prussia is
definitively given up, or intended to be given up. We be-
lieve that it bus not been given up, and that it remains
completely open whether the future confederation is to
bind the Princes of this union in the mass or separately.
Another important point is, that whatever may be the
nature or the law of the Confederatior, Austria no longer
enters it. !:s before, vtillt merely her G“rtti%n precincts
and people, but with her entire empire and population,
Italy excepted. We believe this will make an empire of
_
;f
nearly 70 millions, united for military, and in• all pr
bability for commercial purposes. Bow Franco mill like

this we do net know. Most certaialythe French Cabinet
