by the College of Physicians, no less than 40,00 C

and at least 10,000 in London. The late William
Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, ascer-
tained that every 20th person was ruptured.—
These complaints are truly alarming to every in-
dividual who uses the least exertion. It is also
incredible the number that suffer trom a certain
Disease, by being improperly treated. It was
those circumstances induced Dr. coorga to select
eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30
years',experience, to form a Medical Board; -and

LONDON,
SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1820.

We received last night and this morning, the
Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last. A
few Extracts from the former will bte louud in
another Column. The Chamber of Deputies
assembled on Tuesday, when M. ROY, blinister
of Finance, presented a Projet, the object of
which is to render completely secure the pur-
chasers of national property, by formally dis-
charging them from all pecuniary claims on the
part of the Government, on account of such pur-
chases, and also by finally adjusting the ac-
counts between them and the former proprie-
tors, so as to extinguish, by the Ist of Ja-
nuary next, all claims upon the property not
made good previous to that period. The Prokt
was ordered to- be taken into consideration in
the &realm on Thursday. The following are
extracts from the Journals of IVednesday :
" Nets, JAN. 5.---The King yesterday trans-

nESI'RUCTION OF 'I'HE 'I IIEATIIE IIY FIRE.

This morning, ebo'ut one o'clock, the whole

town was thrown into the utmost alarm by the
'springing of the watchmen's rattles and the cry
of fire, and it was discovered that our beautiful
And excellent Theatre was become the prey of the
raging element. The engines of all the Fire
'Offices proceeded immediately to the spot, but al-
though every exertion possible was used, the toot
fell down about three o'clock with a most tre-
mendous crash. The scene which presented i.selt
was most dreadfully magnificent ; large masses of
fire were r nrtieil great distances, and the greatest
fear was entertained for the neighbouring houses.
The Shaksl►eare Tavel n adjoining caught fire ;
Airs. SMITH, the landlord's wife, being near her
confi,ement, was speedily carried out to a friend's
house, and all the furniture was removed to the

Postmistress's premises across the street. Fowl.
Irately the fire in the Shakspelee was arrested in
its course by the praiseworthy exertions of the
Firemen and Gentlemen, many of whom ran great
hazards, by the daring manner in which they ex-
tried themselves. The Theatre it was found

possible to save ; scarcely an art,cle was removed,
and it now presents a most dreadful, yawning
ruin,, where but a few hours before the popula-
tion were assembled to witness tl►e Play of

Pizarro.

ni it y :ire varions, and it is impossible at this see-

Sun of hurry calmly to investigate the cause; same
supposing it to have been caused by the wadding

was first seen at the tor of the building ; others,
that it was the wot k ►►f an incendiary, as
w•as tlie case in August, 1791, when the former
Theatre was burnt down ; but I trust we have
not any men so h.►se Ai wilfully to throw so many
tleservif►g individuals out of bread at this incle-
;Heist season. Mr. BUNK bears this calamity as

a man, distressed that so many dependent upon
him shwa+, .be thrown upon the wide Km Id, and

yet rejoicing that no lives have been lost upon
The occasion. The Theatre was insured in the
Sun and Norwich Union Offices to a considerable
,mount, but not near to the full value.
