" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
limy be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
mon confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

THE THEATRES.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

The Opera on Saturday night was Anna Bolena. Its
performance was perfect. The great attraction of the
evening, however, was Taglioni. It was her last ap-
pearance, and long before the doors were opened, the
avenues to the Opera were crowded by the admirers of
the deesse assembled to tray homage at her shrine.
Never did Taglioni appear to greater advantage than on
Saturday evening, and never were bouquets more plenti-
fully showered upon her. Can it be that she is about
to quit the scene of her triumphs now, whilst she is in
the zenith of her powers ? Let us hope that, for once,
those veracious chroniclers, the bills, have unwittingly
deceived us, and that this is not the last appearance of
Taglioni.

CHARGE OF SHOOTING.
AucusT 2. This morning, a little before
the. litN. R. Moore, incumbr.t t 4 Efio
county magistrate, was walking up Fishergate, he was
fired at by a men opt" the. l3ennatir.. Het
was instantly apprehended by Mr. Moore, and handed
to a policeman, by whom he was brought to the Town-
hall, and examined before a full bench of county magi-
strates, including Mr. J. Cunlitre, in the chair, the
Rev. C. E. Kendal, Mr. R. Newsham, Mr. S. 110-crocks.
and Mr. G. Jackson.

The Rry. R. Moore, Who sat upon the .bench, was
sworn. He said :—As I was walking np Fishergate
this morning, at alittle before II o'clock. from Messl-s.
l'ilington and Walker'soflice, to the irtiwn-hlll, I heard
a report of fire•arms when about half-way up Fishergate.
The gun or pistol, whichever it was, was discharged
close to me, and the smoke came about my head. Im-
mediately afterwards I was struck with a hard substance
upon my right breast. Looking round to see who had
thrown it, I saw that man (pointing to the prisoner).
Richard Bennett. He looked conscious of having done
something wrong, and, knowing his character pretty
well, I went up to him and seized him, when several per-
sons Caine about us. I called for the police. Two men
came up,. and one man brought a pistol and said, " Here's
the pistol." He said, "He (the prisoner) shot it. I saw
him shoot it, and then throw the pistol at you." A
policeman came up, and I told him to take him to the
Town-hall, where I was going, and the magistrates
would investigate the matter. This is all I know.
The Rev. Gentleman's evidence having been taken
down and signed, the prisoner was asked if he had any
questions to ask the prosecutor, but he declined asking
any.

John Harrison was next examined. He said, I am a
carder, and live in Riley-street, Preston. I was in
Fishergate this morning about five minutes to eleven
o'clock. I saw the prisoner fire a pistol at that gentle-
man (Mr. Moore), and afterwards throw the pistol at
him, which struck him upon the right breast. Saw 'aim
take aim at Mr. Moore. The prisoner was close to Mr.
Moore when he fired. I was just behind the prisoner.
The prisoner faced Mr. Moore. I picked the pistol up
on its falling after being thrown against that, gentle-
man's breast, and have since given it to police-constable
Williams.

The prisoner declined asking the wit'aess any ques-
tions.

Adam Capstick, carder, of London-road, said—l was
in Fishergate this morning with the last witness, John
Harrison. I saw the prisoner fire a pistol at Mr. Moore;
he was close to Mr. Moore, perhaps three yards distant.
Prisoner then threw the pistol at him, and hit him ton
the right breast. The ball from the pistol passed Mr.
Moore's coat, and went across the street.
The prisoner said he would not ask any questions.
Mr. Cunliffe—The last witness says he saw the ball
pass Mr. Moore's coat and cross the street.
Prisoner—He has very quick eyes then.
William Kirby, Christ Churchyard, reeler, being
sworn, said—l was in Fishergate this moaning, and saw
Mr. Moorel and the prisoner. I saw t}:e prisoner take a
pistol out of his pocket. He fired tnstantly, but I can-
not swear that he aimed at Mr. "ttloore ; he then threw
the pistol at him, and hit him on the right breast.
Robert Sneyd Williams, 'olice-constable, said—l re-
ceived the prisoner into wastody, and charged hith with
having tired at Mr. Moore ; he replied, " We will see
about that another day." I received the pistol from,
John Harrison, which I now produce ; the smoke I saw
arise was, apparently fr6m fire-arms.
The prisoner said—lle (Mr. Moore) has accused me
of a crime lum not guilty of. I only want to make it
known.
The Chairman then said—You are committed to Lan-
caster Castle to take your trial at the assizes for shooting
at Mr. Moore.

HOLY ISLAND.—During the past week sonic dis-
coveries have been made upon the island which are likely to be
interesting to the antiquary. The workmen employed in
forming a road-way from the lime-kilos to the place of ship-
ment came upon the foundations. of some buildings, and as
neither tradition nor history assign any habitation or structure
to that part of the island, the workmen's curiosity was very
much excited; and along what is called the Snook, on the north
side of the island, they traced a line of foundations which oc-
cupy in extent about an acre and a half. In the course of their
operations they found two coins of the reign of Ethelred, and,
supposing that to have been the period when these foundations
were formed, they must have existed for upwards of a thousand
years. 'f he cathedral was built in Ihe reign of William Rufus,
200 years after Ethelred. The coins have been shown to us,
and are certainly a great prize to the antiquary. We were in-
formed they are Saxon sticas; they are in wonderful preserva-
tion, the superscription being unmutilated. The coin is made
of a composition apparently, being neither silver nor brass. A
stica, we understand, was worth about 2d. or 21d.

The prisoner heard the decision of the Court with the
utmost indifference. During the whole of the proceed-
ings he appeared to take little interest in them.
During the, examination cif the prisoner the Town-
hall was very much crowded.
The prisoner is the same person who was charged with
having, at four o'clock in the morning of Tuesday, the
19th of April, 1836, blown up with gunpowder the house
of Mr. Thomas Parkinson, of Kirkham. He is the son
of Mr. Bennett, shoemaker, of Kirkham, and was in-
structed in the business of his father. He is about 34
years of age. Mr. Parkinson's house was blown up the
day following the marriage of one of his do:ate-Men with
