at the Cross Keys,• Wro.l-street, yrstetday charged
the CoaCh-ote-keeper with an .oerct.arge in
.the
porterage of the parcel. it a!lpeared thx the.sum
charged as the carriage of the parcel from. Colches-
ter to. London was Is, 4d. Ald the sum charged tor
porterage from the Cross' Keys,. Wood ,st reet, to the
Kings and Keys, Fleet-street, was Bd. This, the
Gentleman submitted, was a grie%oas overcharge,
the distance not bring equal to half a mile. •
The- porter, who attended, alleged that he was
not 'to blame. He adin tted that the porterage
should only have bJen 6d. but presumed the clerk
had added the 2d. by mistake.
The worthy Alderman (MAGNAY) said, these
mistakes occurred etery day, and must be checked.
He ordered the porter to pay the mitigated penalty
of .53. together with the expences.

M. Pro.,t, a physician of eminence, and attach-
ed to an bbspital at Paris, has lately published a
pamphlet, wherein he endeavours to prove, that
the cause of insanity is seated not so much in tie
head, as in the stomach and bowels. He had ob-
served that the contents of the bowels, in those who'
have died while under this disorder, are replete
with mucous or bilious matters more or less dis-
coloured, and dark : often, worms are found, the
inner membrane of the bowels is constantly reddish,
or even changed altogether from its proper colour
in divers points• of its surface. Almost always is
the gall bladder and its duas dilated, and frequently
they contain concretions ; the liver too is enlarged
and swelled. These symptoms M. Prost con-
ceives establish the theory, that the seat of the dis-
ease is in the intestines. The opponents of N. P.
have treated his opinion with jocularity; but this
is not the way in Which a medical question of im-
portance, involving facts, should be treated. All
allow that melancholy is closely allied to the state
of the organs of digestion; a'nd what should pre-
Vent a peculiar indisposition of them from pruduc-
iog by sympathy with other pacts, which
are not to be expeaed from them by immediate
and direct aaion ?

Dr. ROBERTON, who fled from Iris bail; and ef.
felled his escape to Holland, i• now residing at
Amsterdam.
