DR. COURTENArS NEW WORK.
This day was published, price 4s.

AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets,
Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal
Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These
subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting
eases, logether with the INliberies of a secret Vice, so long
and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In
the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness,
the other have its ravages fatally deieloped by a distressing
state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates
in Impotescf ; 'these are its remote and ultimate effects,
while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various
Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages
of this most destructive and insidious habit, for. the cure of
which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success-
ful practice, and at once safe; epiedy, and effectual, is
adopted by the Anther. With concluding remarks on the
evils resulting front attempts at Self Cure.

" Amongst the numerous Afedieal and Surgical Work;
of the day, we consider that written by Dr. Conrtenay, on
Syphilis, and other frequently fatal complaints, to be
worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly deserving the
serious attention of all those persons who may unfortunately
happen to be afflicted with the maladies which forth the
subjeet of this very interesting publication The luminous
views taken of those diseases, together with important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise;
and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is
written with much deNeacy and morality."—lnspector and
Literary Review.

A few dayS since, as some men were digging
chalk in. a field called Miller's Close, in the immediate
vicinity of Dorchester they found a human skeleton com-
pletely emhedtled in the chalk about five feet beneath the
surface. The skeleton was of more than ordinary size,
and, from the contiguity of the spot to a Roman encamp-
ment, and the long period the skeleton had evidently been
interred, it is conjectured to have been that of a Roman
soldier.— Taunton, Courier.

The COIIIIIIISSIOIICrB of Customs have app.
. .
printed a suite of rooms at the Custom House for the ireop
psssensers and luggage arriving from abroad. Be_
ptn •at of
e aparttncnts and accommodation are provided for
ladies, and a distinction is made between the cabin and
steerage passengers. A crane has also been erected for the
exclusive purpose of landing their luggage on the Custom-
house Wharf. This is an accommodation which has long
been wanted, and as the business of the Customs is much
facilitated by it, and as Members of Parliament have been
subjected to the inconvenience of waiting more than double
the time that is consumed in France to expedite similar
business, it has been matter of astonishment that the re-
form has not been sooner adopted. Mr. SMIRKE has also
proposed, for the public benefit, that a chain jetty shall
be projected from the centre of the Custom-house Quay,
to • enable passengers •to embark from thence at once on
board the steam-boat'', and also to take their carriages
without hazard. It is well known that persons have pre-
ferred the passage by
Dover to the danger and extreme
annoyance of embarking in the port of Loudon, by means
of the wherries, which there are few persons of ;Hicate
nerve who would not readily avoid. This plan is at pre-
sent under the consideration of the Commissioners.

" it is hereby stipulated and agreed, that there
shall be a true, faithful; constant,- and reciprocal
friendship and alliance bet Wen the said King Ed-
ward and King Ferdinand and Donna Eleanor his
wife, and between their successors' in the aforesaid
kingdoms of England and Portugal, as well as be-
*een their respective kingdoms, territories, do-
minions, and provinces, and the vassals atasubjects
who may be faithful and obedient to them ; and,
like true and faithful subjects, they. will assist and
mutually uphold and defend each other by land and
by*.sea, against not only all mortal men, whatever be
their dignity, state, pre-eminency,,.or condition, but
also against • their territories; kingdoMs, and do-
minions." . .

I3f virtue of this Treaty, which was a dei'ensirg
one, in the amplest degree. Edward Ili: allowed'
Ferdinand I. of Portugal, as appears by Ityiner'S
History, vol. 8. page 41, to raise a body of troops
in England, to put down - his brother, the Infanta
Don Henriques, who had rebellesT against him. Con-
sequently, the rebellion of Don Miguel against his
brother Don Pedro IV. being identical, it follows
that this Treaty is applicable to existing circum-
stances.

The ,Treaty of 1571, between Queen Elizabeth
and Don Sebastiani. expressly declares, "That in
order to establish perfect friendship and free trade
between the two States, and that one should not
prejudice the other, nor.aid and assist their enemies
or rebellious subjects, the ships, money, and mer-
chandise then under seizure, should be mutually
restored." •

In the, Act of ratification of the Treaty between
CharleS 11. and John IV.; 1642, are those express
words ?—" Whereas the High and Mighty Prince,
John the Fourthvike. &c. it washis desire to renew
the ancient alliance and Amity' that-were- between
the Kings, their predecessors, their Crown and sub
jects, his Majesty Charles 11. &c. &c. has consented
thereto, and makes knOWn to all his well-beloved
people, &c. &c. &e." .

It is clear from this, that the Treaties of
.1373
and 1571 continued in full force and effect after the
August House of Braganza ascended the Throne of
Portugal.
The I.sth article of the same Treaty imposes an
obligation on England, in the following terms ':=—
" In consideration of all which grants,(Tangier and.
Bombay) the King of Great Britain doth profess
and declare, with the consent and advice of his
Council, that he will take the interest of Portu-
gal, and all its dominions, at heart, defending the
same with his utmost power, by sea arid land, even
as England itself."
If Portugal; therefore, ought to 'be defended as
England itself, there can be no doubt 'whatever that
it ought to have been assisted in the present instance
—when rebellion and usurpation have plunged that
Kingdom into the greatest "distress and ruin.
It is, moreover,. stipulated in the first article. of
the Treaty .of 1654, bptiveen the two States—v Not
to receive or harbour the rebels or fugitives of
either, in any of the other's territories, kingdoms,
dominions, ports, or harbours."
And by. the first Article of the Treaty of Alliance,•
concluded in 1713, between, Queen Arnie and King
John the Fifth, all the Treaties above referred to
were renewed and confirmed in the following manner :
" All former Treaties between the above said
Powers, are hereby approved, confirmed, and ratified,
and are ordered to be exactly and faithfully observed,
except in so far as by the present Treaty is otherwise
provided and established."
The same renovation of these Ancient Treaties of
Alliance is to be foUnd in the 3d Article of the
Treaty madeat Vienna on the 22d of January, 1815,
between Great Britain. and Portugal, viz. :--
" The Ancient Treaties of Alliance, Friendship--
and Guarantee, which have so long and so happily
subsisted bet Ween the two Crowns, and which,ao
hereby renewed by the High Contracting Parties,
and acknowledged to be of full force and effect:"

SESSIONS for the LIBERTY of the TOWER

The adjourned sittings of the Sessions for the Li-
berty and Precinct of the Royalty of the Tower,
took place yesterday at the Court-house, in Well-
close-square. - WALSH, Esq. acted as the locum
tenens of Sir D. Williams, the Chairman, who, from
a mental and physical decay, is quite incapacitated
from discharging the duties of the office.
The only case for trial was one which stood over
from the last Session, and which proves another
anomaly in our legislation, and shows that the ac-
cused may be heavily mulcted, not for his guilt, but
for his innocence.

It was as follows :----John Husker, one of the
beadles of the precinct, appeared to an indictment
preferred against him last Session, on which true
bills were found, but the hearing of which was post-
poned for the present, charging him with having, in
May last, beaten and cleansed certain carpets in an
exposed place on the King's highway.
The complaint was preferred by Mr. Hall, a ship-
broker, residing in the Circus, Minories, but he not
appearing to substantiate it, the prisoner was of
course acquitted. Directions were given for his die-
charge, but, previous to his being liberated, a bill,
containing the following items, was handed to him,
under the name of court fees :--" R v. Hacker.
Venue, 12s. 10d.; jury and ci ier, 16s. ; trial,
10s. Bd.; drawing recognizanees, 2e. Bd.; serving
notice of trial, swearing, &c., 7s. ; Bench warrant,
Bs. 6d.; making altogether 2/. 17s. Bd." The de-
fendant, on glancing hie eye over it, sent it up to the
grand jury, who, after examining it, forwarded it to
the bench, accompanying it with some strong obser-
vations on the unjustness of such a charge upon any
person whom a jury had pronounced innocent. The
offence, if even the beadle had been found guilty of
it, was one of the most venial description; that of
beating a carpet in a place where it was the custom
to cleanse them, at the early hour of six o'clock in
the morning. When spoken to on the subject, he at
once yielded, and never repeated that-which the pro-
secutor so much complained of; and it was too Op-
pressive not only to have the indictment hanging
from one Sessions to another, in terrorem' over his
head, but now, on his acquittal, to saddle him with
such exorbitant costs. If the demand was counte-
nanced by the law, it might perhaps be better for a
person to be guilty than innocent. They
.hoped, if
the Court had it in its power, it would remit those
costs.

The CHAIRMAN replied that no discretion was
vested in it : the law was explicit, and its duty was
to administer it as he found it.

Mr. Offer, one of the Jury, wishes to be informed
whether carpets could not, as hitherto, be cleansed
in the open space on Tower-hill ?
Mr. Stable, the clerk, observed, that they might
unless the inhabitants complained of the annoyance.
A desultory conversation took place, which ter-
minated in the Petty Jury appropriating the fees
they Ni 'ere entitled to,--so inequitable did they con-
ceive the claim,—in part of the discharge of the de-
fendant's fees.

This investigation being the only business before
the Court, it, on its termination, adjourned.
