ARETIRED PHYSICIAN, whose sands of
life have nearly run out, discovered while in the East Indies
a certain cure for Consumption, A sthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds,
and General Debility. The remedy was discovered by him when
his only child, a daughter, was given up to die. He had heard
much of the wonderful restorative and healing qualities of prepara-
tions made from the East India Hemp, and the thought occurred to
him that he might make a remedy for his child. He studied hard,
and succeeded in realising his wishes. His child was cured, and is
now. alive and well H. has since administered the wonderful re-
medy to thousands of sufferers in all parts of the world, and he has
never failed in making them completely healthy and happy. Wishing
good as possible, he will send to such of his afflicted
muchacs
as
request it, this r cape, with fall and explicit direc-
tions for makin it up and successfully using it. He requires each

tow hired Union- wharf, Narrow-street, Ratcliff, for no
other purpose than swindling on a large scale, and
Bristow's son, who was in custody a few weeks since and
discharged, was engaged as clerk. There was another
clerk, called Joe, whose real name is not known, about
the age of 28 years, of great business talent, good and
lively address, and an excellent letter-writer. Ile was
always on the premises in Ratcliff, and was the means of
communicating and corresponding between the swind-
lers and their victims. The gang had no sooner ob-
tained possession of Union-wharf than they gave large
orders for goods to merchants and manufacturers.
Devall was represented by Joe to be a respectable mer-
chant and shipowner, and a large shipper of goods to
Australia. The firm commenced by giving an order for
9001. worth of water-closets, which they represented
were to be exported to Sydney, and this order wou'd
have been executed but for the activity of Sheridan, the
constable employed in the case, who stopped the geode
on their way to the wharf atter 50/. worth of water-
closets had been delivered at the wharf, and sold for
much less than the cost price. Mr. Robert Moseley, of
Fetter-lane, Fleet-street, agent to Mr. W. Simpson, a
Birmingham manufacturer, supplied Devall and Co.
with fenders to the amount of 541, on a representation
that they were to be shipped for Sydney in the prisoner's
own ship. The olerk Joe referred Mr. Moseley to the
house of Messrs. M'Kinnell and Co., late Alfred Gibson
and Co., and how that firm was imposed upon did
not appear in the investigation. Mr. Small, of
Lawrence Pountney-hill, agent to Messrs. Paul,
Moore, and Co., of Birmingham, supplied wire to the
prisoner's order, and it was forwarded to the wharf. Mr.
Nurthen, of No. 14, Vauxhall-walk, stone potter, and
Mr. Michael Brown, of No. 1, Park-place, East-street,
Walwortb, were favoured with orders from the gang, the
tormer for hard goods, and the latter for a horse worth
271. Brown is a poor man, and the manner in which he
was swindled bj the gang excited much sympathy. Joe
always represeni,ed that his principal (Devall) was on his
eastern and north-eastern journey, when any of the gen•

tlemen defrauded called at the wharf, and a letter was
once written in London and despatched to Sudbury, in
Suffolk, where it was posted, to givA colour to the re-
presentation that Devall was on his commercial travels.
The letter was read, and handed to Mr. Yardley. It
was to the following effect, and addressed to Messrs.
Paul, Moore, and Co., Birmingham :

"Sudbury, Oct. 23, 1857.
" Gen tlemen,—Your immediate attention to the annexed
order will oblige. I have not Mr. Small's address with
me, and, with a view to time, have forwarded order direct
to you, of which I have by this post advised my clerk. I
will remit your cheque, or pay Mr. Small, if he will be
good enough to call upon me on my return, for your little
account to Michaelmas.—l am, gentlemen, yours respect•
fully, "HENRY DEVALL,
of Union-wharf, Narrow-street, London."
The above letter was written by Joe, and it had the
desired effect—a second parcel of brass and iron ware
was sent to the wharf and immediately sold at 2i per
cent, below the invoiced price. It happened that 200
tons of railway iron bad been left on the wharf by a
former occupier. The gang turned this to good account,
and Joe always represented that the iron was to be
shipped to Australia in Devall's own ship, which he was
freighting.
James Richard Taylor said be was in the employ of
the prisoner for three weeks at Union-wharf, and gave
an account of the modus operandi of the gang. He was
hired by Devall and Bristow to sell goods for them. He
remembered crates of fenders, water-closets, bricks, wire,
and other goods coming to the wharf, and he sold some
of them by the prisoner's orders for less than the price
they were to give for them. Devall never went out of
town upon an eastern or north-eastern journey ; but he
was in the practice of coming to the wharf every morn-
ing looking about, consulting with Bristow, and then
making a journey to the nearest public-house, where he
spent the day. He had often told the prisoner and
Bristow that he could sell the goods with which they
were supplied at a profit, but both Devall and Bristow
said the things must be sold at once for half price or
any price, as they must get a capital. The goods were
removed from the wharf as fast as they came in carts.
Mr. Lewis, jun.—To be shipped ?
Mr. Metcalfe—Perhaps Mr. Lewis will oblige me with

the name of the ship.
In cross-examination, Taylor said he had been tried
and acquitted on a charge of embezzlement. His em-
ployer owed him some money, and he paid himself out
of moneys he received from customers, Bristow kept a
coffee-shop in Duke-street, London-bridge, and Devall
acted as waiter there. Bristow paid for the carriage of
bricks from S.:ourbridge.
Mr. Yardley—Had the prisoner a ship of his own ?
Witness—No, sir, be had not.
Mr. Metcalfe—He did not, sir.
Joseph Grant, a police-constable, No. 104 M, said --
I knew Bristow as keeping the Crown Coffee-shop, near
London-bridge, on the Surrey side, and I have seen
Devall acting there as waiter, with a white apron.
John Dapter, 346 A, said—l have known the pri-
soner 7or 8 years. I knew him to be a cabdriver, and
in consequence of strong suspicion that he had been
concerned in two burglaries he lost his license. I was
not able to catch him, or I should have arrested him for
the burglaries.

A policeman named Neale raid—l always considered
the prisoner to be the most dangerous thief in Lon Jon.
I bare seen him repeatedly in Oxford-street and Re-
gent-street with thieves and returned convicts. He was
detected in attempting to commit a burglary in War-
wick-street, Golden-square.
William Parsonage, police-constable, 73 0, said—
The prisoner Devall has been the associate of the worst
of thieves for four or five years.
Devall—l will get an honest living, but you won't
let me do it.

Mr. Lewis, jun.—Will you bold your tongue!
Witness—l took him into custody for attempting to
commit a burglary, and he was committed from the
Marlborough-street Police-court as a rogue and a
vagabond for six weeks, and kept to hard labour. I
know him up to 12 months ago to be a thief, and the
associate of the worst of characters.
Mr. Metcalfe--That is all the evidence I can offer
to-day. I intend to introduce others of the gang be-
fore you another time.
Mr. Yardley—There is quite enough to justify a
remand.

Mr. Lewis, jun —Will you take bail /
Mr. Yardley—Yes, I will take bail, the prisoner in
2001. and two sureties of 1001. each. I must have good
bail.

Mr. Joseph Smitb—And notice of bail to be given ?
Mr. Yardley—Certainly. I hope the details of this
case will make manufacturers, agents, and merchants
more cautious in future.

The prisoner, who could not find bail, was sent away
to the prison van.

CHATHAM, DEC. 25.—The large tidal basin at this
dockyard being nearly completed, the Lords of the Ad-
miralty have employed Messrs. Rigby, the contractors,
in lengthening No. 3 old dock, which is to be extended
inwards nearly 100 feet. For several months past some
hundreds of men have been employed in making the
necessary excavations, which are carried to a depth of
nearly 50 feet, in order to form the concrete bottom of
the basin. During the progress of the works the water
has frequently broken in, to prevent which two powerful '
steam engines have been erected, which are kept pump-
ing day and night, discharging four tons of water per
minute. The pumps were at work last night, when one
of them became useless, and the consequence was that
the works were soon flooded, the water rising at the rate
of 6 tons per minute. During the whole o. to-day the
workmen have been engaged in repairing the engines
and pumps, which, it is hoped, will be put into working
order to-night.

H. M. t.amer Geyser sailed for Devonport, to
be paid off into ordinary, on Thursday.
At an early hour yesterday morning an accident
occurred in Chatham Dockyard which is likely to
cause some delay in the execution of the large
works now being carried on at ttkat establishrnent
for the enlargement of the old diEcks and the tro
struction of the new tidal basins. During Thurs-
day night one of the pumps became useless, the
consequence of which was that the water began
flowing into the works at the rate of six tuns per
minute, flooding the excavations and doing a great
deal of mischief. Yesterday a number, of men
were busily engaged repairing the temporary
engines, and hopes were entertained of the
pumps being set to work last night, in order that
excavations might be cleared, so as to enable the
men to resume work on Monday morning.
The Racoon, 21, screw steamer, Captain J. A.
Paynter, fitting for sea at Chatham, has taken a
considerable quantity of her sea storei on board,
and is being rigged in order to be made ready for
sailing with all despatch.
The Cuckoo, 3, steamer, which has been paid offont
of commission at Chatham, is moored alongside the
Resolute, Arctic discovery ship, waiting to be taken
into dock for the purpose of having the injuries
caused by the late accident made good.
