IN -the morning of Life, when the blandish-
ments. of passion ". take the reason prisoner," it is
an evil More to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the
vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against
the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful
exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of his mental
as well as bodily powets. To all persons so circtunstanced
as to require the professional aid of men of experience,
whose time has been for twenty- years studiously and suc-
cessfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous
debility, whether natural or acquired, DOSS and CO.
proffer the most consolatory assurances. The youth who
has
.liiceh the poor victimrivatedhisli of 'ameiYtile strangely fascinating sin,
vfolly will too readily comprehend

without further description, may find relief from his misery,
The sufferer who, from another extreme of in-
dulgence, has with tinbashful forehead, wooed debility,
may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con-
stitntion. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering
from Lues Venerca, however gtggr4v4ted by malpractice of
the quack, • or the concealment from diffidence, may find
a certain restoration ; and finally in cases where the delay
of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment

APPREHENSION of a GANG of COINERS

On Friday last a gang of coiners, who have
manufactured and circulated an immense quan-
tity of base money, and whose dexterity and
vigilance have baffled hitherto every exertion to
discover them, were successfully unkennelled,
and taken into custody, near Dog-row, Mile-
end-road.

Suspicion for a length of time past was at-
tached to a person named James Coleman, (he
having been twice convicted of the minor offence
of -uttering), as being the principal in the, gang,
and IVIr Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, in
consequence, employed Drew, a conductor of
the Bow-street patrol, and Keys and Van, two
of. its officers, to discover, if possible, the
coiner's retreat. After the lapse of a consi-
derable time, and many stratagems, they were
suCcesSful; and traced him to a small house
in Jubilee-place, .Mile-end, where he was
ostensibly employed as a costermonger. Ac-
companied by the Messrs. Powell, they burst
in the front door, and on entering the
house, fbuud Coleman, his wife, daughter, and
mother--in-low, sitting at dinner on the first floor.
Having secured them, they proceeded on their
search, and Van, on examining a lower room,
discovered a shilling die, secreted in a small tub,
and covered with some straw. On going up
stairs they found a furnace, which appeared to
have been very recently used,. some charcoal, a
number of moulds, and what might be consi-
dered a complete set of coining implements.—
There was, besides, several ingots of pure tin,
and some broken-up pieces of new Britannia
metal spoons. The introduction of these into
the manufacture has been but of late, and they,
when mixed, produce the best counterfeit. In
fact, except. impurity, they approach more nearly
in their properties the legitimate coin than. any
other imitation, and possess one quality the ac-
quirement of which has been the grandest desi-
deratum among the coining brotherhood, viz.,
they, when being chinked against any hard sub-
stance, ringing with almost the clearness of a
genuine shilling. So finished was the manufac-
ture of the prisoners, that Mr. Powell has said
that it was not one tradesman in ten that could
possibly discover its being base.
When the office's had searched them, on Mrs.
Coleman's. person were discovered some new
bright shillings, which, as it is supposed, it was
intended to take moulds from, and on her
mother, a shilling with the letter T rather rudely
engraven on the obverse side, and which, on
comparison with the moulds, the letter being
discernible in them, must have been the one
from which they were taken. By the officers'
statement, it appeared that this felonious manu-
facture was usually carried on at night, and they
accounted for their apprehending the prisoners
at so early an hour, by saying, that it was urn-
possible to detect them at work, and that, be-
sides, if they went later in the evening, the pri-
soners were so situated, that they could, under
cover of night, easily make their escape. Keys
and Van, in their depositions before Mr. Wyatt,_
in Lambeth-street, further added, that the pri-
soner Coleman, when taken into custody, ex-
claimed, " Well, thank God, you have not
caught me at work, and therefore you can't
hang met
The prisoners were remanded until Friday
next, when they will be again brought up, \

PoaTsmotmr, Nov. 14.--Commander Hastings
commissioned the Ferret, 10, at this port, on Thurs-
day, for the West India Station.
The Champion, 18 guns, Commander George
De'me, ,arrived on Thursday from the East India
station, having been four years and a half in com-
mission. She left Admiral Gage in the Java frigate,

the 15th of June ; the Success frigate was at Ma-
dras; the Rainbow frigate at New South Wales;
and Hind, 20 guns, at Malacca. All the ships were
healthy, although the Indian Continent was much
afflicted with cholera. Affairs were in general
quietude. The Burmans had paid up all their sti-
pulated penalty; and their neighbours, the Siamese
and Malays, were inclined to be at peace with them.
The Champion was at the Isle of Frame in the first
week in August, at which 'time Lord John Churchill
was waiting to convey his Excellency Governor Sir
Lowry Cole, in the Tweed, frigate, to the Cape of
Good Hope • Lieutenants E. E. Gray nod Edward

the Undaunted frigate, Captain Clifford, with the
new Governor-General, Lord W. C. Bentinck, on
board, had safely arrived at Madras. It is consola-
tory to find that none of the late arrivals from the ,
southward of the Line have seen or heard Anything
of pirate vessels.
