--.—
HEARTLESS ROBBERY OF A PARENT.—DanieI Law-
rence, a young man, the son of a wheelwright, was
charged with robbing his father of six sovereigns and a
half, under the following circumstances:—
The father, an axed man, 'stated that by dint of hard
work he had saved up six sovereigns and a half, which
he deposited for safety at the bottom of a. b.,x, which he
kept in his bedroom ; but on Nionday he discovered the
box had been forced open, and the whole of his savings
taken, which were intended to have kept him out of the
workhouse. Finding his son had left home and pro-
ceeded to Greenwich far, when he returned from that
place it was ascertained he WAS the person by whom he
had been rubbed, and that the money was nearly all ex-
pended in profligacy at the fair. The poor man seemed
to be very much affected while giving his evidence, and
admitted that it was not the first time he had been robbed
by his son.
Policeman 178 said that he went into a coffee-shop
that morning. near the Surrey Theatre, and observed
the prisoner with some women exhibiting money, and
throwing it about as if it was valueless. That under the
impression the money was improperly come by he took
the prisoner into custody, risen he at once confessed that
the money was taken from his father, under the circum-
stances already described, the greater portion of which
he had squandered away in dissipation at the fair.
The prisoner expressed his contrition for the offence,
said that he was led astray from the paths of honesty by
bad companions, whom he should for ever renottnee, and
that he should alter his conduct in future.

Ths Magistrate characterised the conduct of the pri.
soner as bad in the extreme, and that he should stand re•
mauled.

WANDS WORTH.

ROBBERY BY A ►SERVANT.—Est'ier Gilbert, a genteel-
looking young woman, 19 years of age, was charged with
committing several robberies whilst in service as house-
maid in the family or Lionel 011iver, Esq., of Wimbledon-
common. .

It appeared that the prisoner went into the service of
the prosecutor on the 13th instant, with a character
alleged to have been given her by Mr. Mount, of 55,
Lower Grosvenor-street. She had not been in the situa-
tiona week before the family had occasion to regret her
introduction into the house, and they determined to get
rid of her as quickly a3epossible. On Tuesday week the
prisoner, seeing that she would be discharged, gave her
mistress notice that she intended to quit her service in a
month. Mrs. 011iver informed her that she could leave
then, and she would ply her wages up to the end of that
week. These terms did not suit the prisoner, and she
would not accept them. The next day she sent her box
by the coachmen to town. On Friday Barbara Stretton,
the cook, missed a night-dress ; she asked the prisoner
if she had seen it, but she denied all knowledge of it. On
the following day the cook acquainted her mistress of
her loss, and it was then discovered that several pairs
of French shoes and satin slippers, lace collars, and
other articles of baby's attire, were missing. The pri-
saner was taxed with taking these articles : she first
declared her innocence, and then admitted that the pro-
perty was in her box in London. She begged earnestly
for forgiveness, and said she would restore all the arti-
cles. The prisoner was discharged from the service, and
went off to town. The box had been taken by the coach-
man to the town residence of the family in Half-moon-
street, and thither Mr. 011iver:at once proceeded, lest
prisoner might get the box away. The prisoner having
given up the money and property, was suffered to take-
her hex away. On the day subsequent to the prisoner's
departure from Wimbledon, the cook discovered that she
had been still further robbed. Several lace collars, a gown,
some pieces of ribbon, and other proper had been taken
from her boxes. Having mentioned this to the family,
she was instructed to go to town and give the prisoner
into custody. The cook procured the services of Police•
constable Mount, 128 C, and they proceeded to-
gether to No. 8, Snead's gardens, Piccadilly, where
the prisoner was lodging. The constable took her
into custody, and upon searching her box found the
cook's lace collars, ribbon, and gown ; she was wearing
one of the collars at the time of her apprehension. He
also found in the box a pair of mosaic gold ear-rings
and a gold brequete seal, the property of Miss Diara
011iver, besides other valuable articles belonging to the
family, who, however, declined to prosecute, leaving the
prleencr to be dealt with for the robbery of her fellow-
servant.
The prisoner, who said the would reserve her de-
fence, was fully committed for trial.
Mr. Payseen desired the constable to make some in-
quiry respecting the genuinenesrof the character which
Mrs. 011iver had received witii the prisoner.
Discs RACRF ExPostute.—Caroline Bradford and
Charlotte Young, tee° respectebly-dressed girls, about 18
years of age each, the former evidently enceintl, were
charged en aentetanons with assaulting Mr. John Stone-
hill, a patters-designer, residing at Somers-town, Wands-
worth. The complainant, who is about forty years
of age, stated that on Good Friday evening he was
in the parlour - - the Plough public-house, Wim-
bledtinee enjoying himself with some friends, when
the defendants, and another woman whom he did not
know, came into the room, and commenced. making
certain charges against him. He sat still and said
nothing. The charges were to the purport that he had
seduced Caroline Bradford. After a time. he rose from
his seat for the purpose of leaving the house, when
Caroline Selked him in the front, Charlotte attacked him
on the right, and the unknowraady on the left. Between
them they pinned him to the wall, and shook him so
that he thought all his clothei would have tumbled off.
He at last contrived to slip out of their clutches, and
ran out of the house, the women folloiving him, crying
" Stop him, stop the villain !"
A solicitor, who appeared for the defendants, cross-
examined the complainant, and compelled him, with the
mite'istrate's interference, to ackawledge that he had
kept compeny with the defendant, Caroline Bradford,
that ho had seduced her, and promised to marry her
when his wife had been dead a twelvemonth, and that
he had deserted her after he had ascertained that she
was enceinte.

Mr. PAYNTER said the conduct of the complainant was
both disgraceful and cruel, but still the law _ way bound
to protect The defendants. must enter into their
own retognisiances, and not go near him again. 'The
defendant I3radford had her remedy , elsewhere.

Lord Stanley left town yesterday, for Knowsley akil,

AERIAL MACHINES and BALLOONS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,Your valuable journal contained, a few
days since, a paragraph respecting the construction of
another flying machine, the particulars of which ap-
pear to have been given in the Cincinnati Gazette.
This is a subject, Sir, which, as you will remember, no
great length of time back was noticed by the press
of this country, and the aerial machine referred to
was looked upon by many scientific men and the
public as a wonderful and clever invention, calculated
to be made available for useful purposes. Yet we
find that the aerial machine, which was so generally
talked about, although a promising infant and a sur-
prising model, never lived to exert its astounding
mechanical powers, or to give the least proof of it,:
being worthy of the patronage of the wise or the
support of a discerning public. The quiet way in
which this " thing of life" expired was str.kingly eon-
trirted to the pompous announcements and particulars
which characterised its birth ; and 'the confidence and
sanguine expectations which many reputed scientific
men felt and displayed about it, happened to be suc-
ceeded by convictions and acknoWledgement that it
was all humbug, although at'first they thought there
was a great deal in the thing. Perhaps there was a
great deal in it, but whether the great deal was likely
to propel it through tlx atmosphere, or cause it to
remain stock still as a cumbrous lot of ma-
chinery—this, indeed, may be left to able con-
jecture. - It! is .doubtless fair to admit that this
aerial machine was originally designed to rise and
fall, but from the peculiarity of its -make and shape,
the rise and" fall seem to have been intended for our
estimation of it; and not for elevation or depreiSion in
the atmosphere.
We have not long ascertained the total failure of
this machine in the oil world, when we hear of an-
other flying machine in the new world. • It is to be
hoped, however, that no countenance will be given to
such a project this side of the Atlantic, and in order
to point out that it would be unwise to do so, a few
reasons will be given in the following lines, why
flying machines cannot answer the expectations of
their inventors; and why this new flying machine,
which is different in construction - to that which has
flown from notice, will also prove a failure.
In the first place, flying machines, which are de-
signed to imitate the motions of birds, fall short of the
power, owing to the impossibility of the finest piece of
art to equal the roughest piece of nature. The
tnarch of inventions and improvements. cannot fur-
nish a specimen of workmanship that will precisely
imitate the action of a fish in water, or a serpent on
land, yet machinery has something to grapple with
both in the liquid and the solid. Neither can a ma-
chine be made to act like a bird in, the air, and these
are some of the reasons.

The best possible machinery that could be con-
centrated in an artificial bird, the size of a rook, would
not impart anything like similar control over the air,
to that which we observe in the real bir.l. The works
however ingeniously-Tut togeth?r must necessarily act
in many different forms and ways, in order to resemble
the spreading of the tail, the flapping of the wings,
&c., and as the action of one part Of an artificial bird
would be essentially different to that of another, so
the works to produce such effects must be multiplied,
and the machinery indispensable to accomplish this
would move a
.greater weight than the wings, tail,
&c., could possibly move with safety, regularity, and
precision. Hence the insurmountable difficulty. The
most powerful machinery that could be brought to
bear would show about as much tendency to raise
and guide the bird, as would the wings of a thrush
affixed to a raven. I want strong machinery, com-
posed of very light materials, awl not only an arti-
ficial bird- but 4 real pig may fly ; but at present this
cannot be done ; therefore aerial machines seem
adapted to act upon the public mind rather than the
open atmosphere.
The new machine, however, for which Mr. Pen-
nington has obtained a patent, differs from Mr. Hew-
son s in many important points. Air. Pennington's
plans seem more closely to resemble those which were
demonstrated, about four years ago, and since at the
Polytechnic lostitution. The buoyancy of his con-
trivance he proposes to acquire, by a number of sec-
tion ballons, and although, like the first American
aeronaut, he prefers balloons to a balloon, still an as-
cending power may probably be obtained in this
way. The guiding and propelling of the aerial vessels
Mr. Pennington intends to effect with a steam-
engine of one-and-a-half horse power, and a rudder is
also to be used.

Now, a very few remarks will suffice to show that
this scheme will end in disappointment, for it is a
fact that neither balloons nor aerial machines can be
guided through the air. The former can be done
nothing with, and the latter must run their course, or
rAther the course of the wind. _

For machinery to govern the motion of a balloon,
the wings, wheels, or oars, must be in proportion to
th,-; balloon, just as the wings of a bird are adapted to
the size of the body. Some very able endeavours
have been made to convince people that a little ma-
chinery at the bottom of the car will produce won-
drous movements ; and so they may in a room or still
atmosdhere, just as a first-rate may be moved
in still water, by a number of hands walking aft with
a hawser. But let the ship be influenced by strong
wind and tide, stout cables, and heavy anchors will
not hold her, or allow the model balloon, guided by
clockwork, to feel the least breeze of governing her
motions; and as such a practice would tend to destroy
the balloon, even if it could be adopted, we rea-
sonably conclude that all attempts of this sort merit
marked deprecation instead of meeting, with public
encouragement.
It is not surprising that inexperienced men intro-
duce impracticable measures, when experienced men
sat the example. Nor is it very singular that the
guiding of balloons should be attempted in the new
world, since the same thing has been talked about
in the old. That such an idea should arise in the
mind of an ingenious gentleman on the other side of
the Atlantic, is not to.be wondered at, since a report
reached the American shores, that a celebrated Eng-
lish aeronaut had actually guided his balloon thither,
and although this report is positively known to be un-
true, it might have stimulated the inventive genius of
the new candidate for aeronautic fame. The guiding
of balloons in England having been a subject of con-
versation, and not a real performance, it is highly
probable that the newly invented flying machine in
America will end in a like humiliating manner. If
such bold and. enterprising men as Messrs. Holland,
Spencer, and Rush, would continue .to promote
scientific undertakings, the science might advance
rapidly—error would be pointed out, and unscientific
displays for mercenary purposes exposed and put a
stop to. We might then reasonably hope that bal-
looning would rise into importance, and become of
real utility .—I remain, Sir, your obedient ser-
vant, - HENRY WELLS.

THE FALLACY OF THE ORGANIC

THEORY.

“ Anatomy or dissection can give no insight into the
cause or cure of diseases.”—The 35th clause of Sir J.
Graham's New Medical Bill.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Does not the fact of scarcely two Doctors
agreeing, in any case, as regards the cause and cure
of diseases, prove that the knowledge which they pre-
tend to derive from anatomy or dissection, is com-
pletely fallacious ? The truth is, that anatomy cannot
give an insight into the cause of diseases, since
that cause proceeds from an, impurity in the blood,
which can only be eradicated by proper vegetable
purgation ; it has, therefore, nothing whatever to do
with anatomy. The only possible use of anatomy is
in the setting of bones, &c., proceeding from accidents
as applied to diseases it is perfectly useless, and only
leads to the contradictions so characteristic of doctors.
In order to understand the above more fully, persons
should compare the human body to a tree, with its
roots and branches, they will then understand that
when diseased it should-be treated as a whole, and not
piece-meal, as doctors do, one remedy for this, another
for that, and so on to the end of the chapter. The
world should never forget that drainage of the land is
precisely to the tree what proper purging is to the
human body. This is- made manifest by the two
Lithographic Prints, to be had of all the liygeian
Agents, which Prints should be in the possession of all
who care about their health. _ _ _

In conclusion, we will only observe, that if Sir
James Graham, attempts, by any quibble, to prevent
any bo'ly of men from holding and expressing
opinions, however adverse they may be to the
Organic Theory, or the pecuniary interests of Doc-
tors, he will be guilty of a great crime, not only
towards this nation, but mankind generally. We
use the word " quibble," because the 35th clause of
his Mew Medical Bill is widely different from his
first bill; that clause is most artfully and. cunningly
altered, and claily aims at abrogating (if possible)
the medical liberty of the -subject. Let the peo-
ple and Members of Parliament look to it before it
is too late. Sir James Graham may, in file -place
in Parliament, puff the doctors as much as he
pleases ; their museums, their Greek and Latin,
their Regius Professorships,* &c., (as if such ac-
complishments had anything to do with the cause or
cure of disc:lse); but we deny his right of abridging,
in any manner, the medical liberty of the subject.
What the people require is this : that Doctors should
pursue a true, and not an interested, theory for the
cure of diseases, and we contend that their Organic
Theory does not tend to that ; it is, in short, a theory

* The evil of such language, when spoken by a Mem-
ber in the House of Parliament (unless he be prepared to
show that the Organic Theory of the Faculty, about
which Doctors themselves are all at sixes and sevens, is,
beyond doubt, correct), must be obvious to all. The
people, as a body, are totally ignorant of medicine, and
therefore language such as that used by Sir James is not
only beside the question, but tends to perpetuate a false
theory, by which h , Pug with the rest, are sufferers.

which had called them together. As tradesmen of
the City of London, they were conipelled, in their
various transactions, to give credit; thoughthe
lature had proceeded on the principle that"
no occasion to do so.—(Hear, hear.) He al., .Red in
every tradesman present, whether wholesale or retail,
whether it would have been possible for the commerce
of this country to be conducted without .a -facility in
giving credit ?—(Hear, hear.) It was remarkable that
the Legislators had taken care to protect themselves
in matters of this nature. Rents must be paid before
any other kind of debt.—(Hear, hear.) But such
conduct was not just to the creditors generally. The
small tradesmen who were injured by this Bill
were the most numerous and industrious of
the trading class ; they were the chief distributors
of all the necessaries and comforts of life; they had
the greatest share of toil and anxiety. It had been
shown to one of the landlords who had been applied
to on this subject, that, in one case of debts amount-
ing, within the last twelve months, to 21,0001.,
18,000 consisted of debts under 201.—(Hear, hear.)
He was astonished at this fact, not being aware that
the proportion of small debts was anything like so
large. Having been in business himself upwards of
forty years, he believed that half his debts were below
the amount which restricted the power of arrest.—
(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He believed that the
measure of last session was meant as a feeler,
the intention being ultimately to abrogate the
law of imprisonment altogether. He deprecated
incarceration for debt; but then there was no
reason why the creditor should be deprived of the
power of taking his debtor's property. Let the cre-
ditors be allowed to take what a man had, including
books, and he had no wish to see him imprisoned.—
(Hear, hear.) It had been admitted by one of the
law Lords that there was some great defect in the
Act of last session. His own opinion was that it was
altogether one-sided. It was passed with feelings of
mock humanity, rather than with a proper sense of
what was required for the support of trade and com-
merce; whereas what was wanted was a law .to
punish those who acted dishonestly and fraudulently,
while, at the same time, proper sympathy was shown
for the unfortunate debtor.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CHAMBERS seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. ELLIOTT moved the following resolution :
" That the frequent modern alterations in the Insol-
vency Laws, which have so harassed the commerce of
this country, have been unsolicited by the merchants,
bankers, and traders, are unsupported by any evidence,
are in diroct opposition to the judgment of most practical
men, are false in their principles, mischievous in their
operation, will continue to cause a large confiscation of
the wealth of the middle classes, and will prodUce an
extensive deterioration in mercantile morality."
He said there was a diseased sentimentality abroad
which was excited in favour of the idle, the roguiab,
and the spendthrift, but left the honest, careful and
industrious man to take care of himself. Though no
advocate for persecuting an unfortunate debtor, he
thought the cause of commerce, of honesty, and of
public morals required a very different law from that
now in force. The whole legislation respecting in-
solvency for the last forty years was a disgrace to a
civilised country; it was a long series of maudlin and
miserable measures. With regard to the Act of last
session, no man except Sir James Graham could
be found to defend it; it was repudiated by Lords
Cottenham, Brougham, and Lyndhurst, neither of
whom would acknowledge themselves to be its author.
What they wanted was to have the power of bringing
the debtor before a competent tribunal by a writ of
summons. Under present circumstances, whenever
it was a man's interest to be a roue, he could be one
with impunity.—(Hear, hear.) The great mass of
insolvent debtors were not persons who had become
so through misfortune ; persons who took their plea-
sure instead of minding their business, who kept no
accounts, who lived at the rate of 1,0001. a year, when
their income was 3001. ; and who gambled, if not
with dice, yet in tea, pepper, hops, and other articles.
The CHAIRMAN—In railway shares ?—(Laughter.)
Mr. ELLIOTT—Yes, and in railway shares. Insol-
vency was a catching disease, and a maa was never
more likely to do a dirty act himself than when he
had been cheated by another.—(Hear.)
At this period of the meeting, Sir Peter Laurie
was compelled by another engagement to leave the
chair, which he did after giving his name for 10/.los.
towards the object of the meeting. Mr. W. D. Swill
was chosen as his successor.
The resolution, after a short discussion, was passed
unanimously.
Mr. M'CoNNon proposed the last resolution, which
was as follows :
" Resolved—That this meeting pledges itself to support
the Equitable Debtor and Creditor Association to its
utmost in an application to Parliament, by petition and
Bill, to secure the representation of the wrongs of trades-
men, and the remedies which their wrongs require."
He said the Association was based upon two principles,
from which it could not be driven : one was, that the
creditor had a right to the payment of a debt; the
other, that if there was no money or property to pay
it, he had a right to know why that was the case.—
(Hear.) Upon those principles they must base their
operations, and he felt that there could be no doubt of
their success.
Mr. F. BAILEY seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously; and a vote of thanks having
been given to the Chairman, the meeting dispersed.

GENERAL NAPIER IN GUERNSEY.
(From the Jersey Gazette.)
The true key whereby to unlock the hidden mys-
teries of Normanism is to be found in this Channel
Island axiom—" All poor and sinful persons are a spe-
cies of fern naturte, to be hunted down at the will
and pleasure of any man or boy that happens to be
clothed in a little brief authority." It is a sufficient
reason, according to this rule of misrule, that a per-
son is helpless that he should be trampled upon ; that
he is at the world's mercy that he should be treated
mercilessly. This is a strange code, sounds rudely upon
ears accustomed to hear that the safeguards of law
were principally intended to protect the help-
less from the contempts of the powerful ; to award to
crime only. such a due measure of punishment as may
protect society from danger. A man Nclio can give a
cheque for a thousand pounds has little need of the
law as a defensive safeguard. The rich man has sit his
command innumerable ministers who will peril soul
and body to protect him for a consideration. The
lowly have no such refuge, and if the portals of the
temple of justice be closed to them by the rude hands
of subordinate officials, whence are they to expect
redress ? From the throne only, or from the repre-
sentative of the throne. This is an eternal truth, daily
becoming more and more manifest.
The case of Maria Hatch, the poor wretched Eng-
lish girl, which, as we informed our readers on Mon-
day evening last, had been referred to the Royal
Court of Guernsey, by the Governor of that Island,
General Napier, is a striking illustration of the truth
of what we have advanced. She was seized after her
confinement of a still-born child, by mere policemen
—no warrant issued justifying such violence, and im-
prisoned in a hospital previous to being sent to Eng-
land—she, neither soliciting alms, nor being in a
state which rendered it probable that she
might become chargeable to an Island which
owes all of wealth and privilege it pos-
sesses to the generosity and favour of that poor
wretched girl's countrymen. General Napier insisted
upon inquiry into this gross outrage upon the per-
sonal liberty of one of the Queen s subjects, who,
whatever her sins and misfortunes, however she be
poor and destitute, is as much entitled to be protected
against brutal violence as the chastest matron whose
brows are encircled by a coronet. The Royal Court,
after long deliberation, at last decided that the
constables were not to blame, but there existed
no sufficient reason at present to send her to her pa-
rish. Was ever judgment more absurdlycontmdictory
than this ? The complaint is that the girl is seized
and imprisoned, in order to be sent out of the Island
—the magistrates decide that there was no justifying
reason for imprisoning or sending her out of the Is-
land, but those who thus acted without justifying
cause are not to blame ! ! The Solomons I What a
privilege to be allowed to elect such people.
The conduct of General Napier in GuergLey en-
titles him to the heartiest thanks of every - dear-
headed, right-minded person—of every person that
wishes to see a hitherto unchecked Oligarchy, littered
in corruption and educated in prejudice, restrained
and checked.
