MEDICINE.

TO T. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-stret, London.
HoNovae') SIR,
y BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
IL year 17540, I bad been afflicted with the Lues Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course sit medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and nn-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and foirlegs were broke out in a frightful
manner ; my right was dreadfully painfol, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take vour Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 260 o. May; in the course of a
fortnight 1 began to receive benefit little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed—
soon after, the sores oa my legs healed also; leaving,: how-
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, ansl a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going thus became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free front all my
tormer complaints—have recovered my former spirits a rid
strength, and ant become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the astonish:nent of all who knew
me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but
beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion; in so doing yon will greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,
ALEX. M (MEI:a

BOW•STB&@T.—Mr. BJRNIZt and Mr. Hicks,
the Magistrates, were in constant attendance dur-
ing the whole of Wednesday, and ..continued till
midnight, assisted by Mr. STAFFORD, th-e Chief
Clerk, making arrangements and directing the
officers, the conductors, and the numerous parties
of the patrol and of parish constables, from dif-
ferent parts, with a view to preserve the peace of
the city. All their excellent precautions and ar-
rangements were, however, insufficient, owing to
the incalculably violent and mischievous mob that
was collected. The Magistrates frequently went
among the crowd, particularly about the time of
the close of the poll, and afterwards, for the pur-
pose of quelling the riotous proceedings in Hen-
rietta-street. In the execution of this duty they
were assailed with great violence, and experienced
some personal injuries. Mr. Birnie was struck on
his breast with stones ; Mr. Hicks received a blow
on his head, which knocked off his bat; Mr. Staf-
ford received a severe injury in his back. Salmon,
the conductor, had a brick and tile thrown at him
while on duty in Henrietta-street, near Mr.
Lamb's Committee-room : his left arm was dis-
abled for a short time by the blow, Another tile
aimed at his bead, and which he avoided by stoop-
ing, fell on the left arm of a yOung Gentleman
who was standing near him, and who, apparently
►n great agony, exclaimed that his arm was broke.
Richard Westbrook, the patrol and .gaoler, is dis-
abled in his right arm, which was cut open, and
some of his fingers are broken. Nicholls, the
conductor, was very much injured in his side fron►
blows inflicted by bludgeons. Ellis, tl►e conduc-
tor, had his face cut in several places by the han-
dles of birch brooms ; the pegs which fastened the
brooms to the sticks, remaining in them, tore the
flesh. most shockingly. John Trevill, a patrol,
had his left shoulder put out, from an attack
upon him by several Irishmen, in Henrietta-
street. Joseph ChaMpion, a patrol, was attacked
with great violence by some Irishmen, who cut
his head open with bludgeons. Francis Murray,
a patrol, received an injury in his side from a
large stone, throwir at him with great violence.
Richard Limbrick, a conductor, received a vio-
lent bruise, and his face was cut open front the
force of a large stone.
When the crowd in llenrietta•street was acting
with the greatest violence, soon after five o'clock,
Mr. Birnie collected and headed a very numerous
party of officers, and for a time cleared the street.
When Mr. Lamb was in Covent-Garden church,
where he took refuge from• the Hustings, Mr.
Birnie advised that he should le►►ve it, and pro.
ceed from the back door, with only one private
friend, and proceed across Bedford-street, Bed-
ford-court, May's-buildings, &c. ; by proceeding
in that private manner he would probably escape
the fury of the mob. The Hon. Gentleman, how-
ever, did not pursue this private course, but went
out of the Church with Mr. Morris, the High
Bailiff, and they paraded, arm in arm, down Bed-
ford-street and Chandos-street. The High Bailiff
being a public character was soon recognized by
the crowd, as was Mr. Lamb ; and " Lamb
Lamb !" &c. was vociferated by numbers, who
followed them, no doubt for the purpose of com-
mitting acts of -violence upon their persons.. IjOr-
,

tunately, Mr. Birnie -was near the spot, and hav-
ing learnt the cause of the shouting of '' Lamb,"
with great promptitude ordered a numerous patty
of constables to follow Mr. Lamb ; they did so,
and overtook and surrounded that :Gentleman,
whom they conducted to his father's house, in
Whitehall, where he arrived without experiencing
any personal injury.
Mr, Birnie and Mr. hicks sat in the evening
at the office, to hear charges against -those who
had been detected in outrageous and riotous con-
duct ; a numerous assemblage of officers, consta-
bles, conductors, and patroles, was kept at their
disposal, in case of their assistance being required.
In ttlie course of the evening, the Magistrates re-
ceived information of different parties of rioters,
among whom were some at Mr. Wishart's house
in Coventry-street, whOse. windows' were broken,
and another at the house of Lord Castlereagh, in
Sr. Jamees.square, whose windows. were also
Afrother,.mpol, at the doffee-liOuse, in
Newcastle-street, Smolt!, where one of Mr.
Lamb's Committees assembled, broke a great por-
tion of the windows and the frame's. This mob
proceeded to the house of Ruthven, the officer be-
longing to this office, in Holles-street, e-
market, and demolished the windows of his house.
—To all these places parties of officeis were dis-
patched with all possible speed. Two nun were
soon after brought into the office from the
Newcastle-street mob; one in the custody of
John James Smith, the constable, who stat-
ed, that the prisoner was the principal man in
exciting the mob to riot and to disturbance; he
endeavoured to persuade him to lea ve the street, and
to go peaceably away, but he treated his admoni-
tion and advice with coniempt, challenging him,
or any of the officers, to fight. The prisoner pro-
ceeded with the mob 'towards Clare-mAtket, and
front tbence to Drury-lane, calling " Hohhousa
for ever ;" and in Drury-lane he stopped a
hackney coachman, insisting; on the coachman
calling out " Hobhouse for ever." The prisoner's
appearance was most shocking. his face being
literally covered with blood, Mr. Hicks, the
Magistrate, having inquired how he came in that
wounded state, the prisoner asserted that the
wound was given by a truncheoo of one of
the constables, which they most • positively
denied : and it was their opinion, he had re-
ceived it from the pole of the hackney-coach
which he and others had stopped in Drury-
lane. The Magistrate directed the nearest sur-
geon to be sent for ; and Mr. Cole, its Charles-
street, Covent-garden, attended, and examined
the wound, in the public-office, its the presence of
the Magistrate, and declared it to be a sery se-
vere
wound, but did not consider the bone to be
injured or fractured. He was of opinion the
wound had been inflicted by a blunt instrument.
J. J. Smith, the constable, showed him his trim- •
cheon-stalt, and asked him if he thought it had
been given by that, or one like it. He replied, he
thought it had. The Magistrate allowed bins to
ptoceed to his home with all due speed.
Sixteen others were brought up by different
constables, and were positively sworn to, as hav-
ing been actively engaged in various outrages ;
Some of having pelted Lord Sefton and his friends,
some of breaking windows, and others of inflict-
ing violent blows with bludgeons. Several of the
prisoners were ordered to find bail ; some were
discharged on their promise to appear when called
upon, and fire were committed. Among the lat-
ter was a fellow of the lamea of J. Mitchell, who
is supposed to have attempted to mordtr a Miss.
Rowles, of Burnham, some days . ago. . Several
were committed for picking pockets.
QuBEN-SQUARlL—Yesterday John Poole and W.
May, both young men, were-examined before Mr.
FIELDING, on a charge of being concerned with a
mob in' attacking the house of r the Hon. Mr,
Lamb, Whitehall-place. The prisoners were or-
dered to be committed to the House of Correc-
tion.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday a man was
brought to this Office, and examined before H.M.
DYER, Esq. charged with forcibly entering the
shop of Mr. Buckeridge, shoemaker, in ,King-
street, and carrying off a quantity of new shoes.
It appeared that he was one of the Burdett mob.
The Magistrate informed the prisoner that he
would be fully committed, but ordered him to be
remanded for a week, in hopes that some of his
companions might be taken.

The servant of Colonel Ponsonby bad his: skull
dreadfully fractured in Covent-garden, on Wed-
nesday afternoon, in consequence of his refusal
to strike the colours bf Mr. Lamb, which he wore
in his hat. The gallant Colonel, upon witnessing
the dastardly conduct his servant had experienced,
and having a large stick in his hand, instantly,
with two cuts to his right and left, laid about six
of the ruffians sprawling, when the rest of those
~ear him ran away, appalled at his courageous
behavionr.

When the mob attacked the Committee-rooM
in Hemietta-street, after the close of the Pod,
they made an attempt to force their way into
the house. Mr. Lamb :And Mr. Macdonald
were obliged to consult their personal safety by
flight, They were let out of the first floor windows
(in the rear) by a rope, into the church-yard, die
gates of which have been kept uniformly closed
during the whole election.

Gen. FERGUSON has been the greatest sufferer
from the attack made on the Earl of SEFroN's
party, in Henrietta-street, on Wednesday. Hie
head was considerably swelled yesterday ; it is
feared that it will be some time before he will be
perfectly well again. Mr. LAMBTON (Lord Ga KY's
son-in-law), escaped notice, in consequence of
being a bumble pedestrian.

PARLIAMENT.

The Oaths were administered to the Earl of
tridgewater, Lord Viscount raimonth, and Lord
Alvanley.
Mr. Carlisle presented the First Report of the
Commissioners of Inquiry respecting Charitable
Foundations for the Education of the Poor.—Or-
dered to lie upon the table.
Mr. Mason, from the East India blouse, pre-
sented an Annual Account of Pensions., Salaries,

Lord HOLLAND presented Petitions from South-

wark, anti the Ward of Aldgate, against the re-
newal of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, or at least
without greater security to Creditors against frau-
dulent Debtors ; and R Petition from the Pri-
soners confined for Debt in llchester (hot,
Somerset, praying for the renewal of the above
Act, or the enactment of some equivaleot measure
for the relief of Debtors. His Lord,llip took the
opportunity of expressing his opinion in favour of
the renewal of the Act, with such amendments as
should appear requisite. The Act itself was ex-
perimental, and no doubt was sn passed, with the
view of afterwards making such amendments as
experience might suggest to be necessary. If the
Act were not renewed, we should then relapse
into the old state of the hi upon this subject,
which, their Lordships well knew, rendered it
necessary to pass an Insolvent Act eery one or
two yews,
The Petitions were ordered to lie on the table.
