A PATROLE CONSTABLE SHOT. Yesterday
morning, we understand, the body of one of the
foot patrole belonging to the Finglas Office, was
discovered lifeless on the Royal Canal bank,
near the sixth lock. It appeared he had re-
ceived his death by a ball,• which passed di-
recly through Ills heart. He had, we under-
stand, separated from other two of the patrole, its
pursuit of a man whom they had apprehended
along with a woman, bearing in their custody a
bag of dead fowls, supposed to be stolen, and who
had afterwards escaped. The woman is in custody,
and has told the man's siiname, but does not know
his christian name —(Dublin Evening Post, Jan.
14.)

MOST DARING OLITRAGR.—An outrage of a
most daring nature was committed between the
hours of six and seven, on the evening of Toes-
day last, near Swords. Two men, at an early
hour, had become inmates of the house of one
Byrne for the night ; and at the time above stated
a number of men came to the door, which
the fellows already within at once attempted to
open for the admission of their associates, which
those on the outside appeared too plainly to be.
A domestic of the house endeavoured to prevent
the door being opened, but was overpowered; and
the gang entered and ransacked the house ; took
a quantity of wearing apparel, house linen, 101. in
bank notes, a gnu and a pistol :—but it appear-
ed that gold was the object of their search ; and,
as they did not find any, they placed the man
of the house over a griddle, which they had pre-
viously heated to compel him to discover where
his money was ; however he escaped material
injury ; and the robbers, unable to accomplish
their object, departed ; information being sent
to the Police Station at Santry, every effort was
used, and with some success, to discover the
•illains, six of whom were taken into custody
before one o'clock the nest morning ; they were
brought to town, examined, and lolly identified by
the daughter or daughter-in-law of Mr. Byrne,
and conimitted to Kilmainham for further exa-
mination. There were 12:or 14 in this gang of
robbers, and we hope shortly to hear of the e -
mairider, being apprehended.—(/bid )

IMPORTANT I N FOR MATION.—From calculation
1(v the College ot Physicians, no less than 40,000
die annually in Great Britain of Cousumprina,
and at least 10,000 in London. The-late William
Tuinhull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon. ascer-
tained that every 20(11 person was ruptured.—
These complaints are truly alarming to every in-
dividual ~vho uses the leas exertion. It is also
iortedible the number that suffer horn a certain
Disease, by being improperly treated. It was
those circumstances induced Dr. COOPER to select
eminent Physician,: and Surgeons, of at least 30
yea's' experience, to form a Medical BoArd; and
since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa-
tients have been cured without confinement—
many of them after hospitals had failed.

.'Messrs. COOPER and CO. are consulted at
Woodstock-street, Oxford-street ; and nt Char.
lotte House, Great Charlotte-street, opposite the
Rev. Rowland lidl's, d3ily, from eight till eight.
Aiechnuics have advice gratis eery avrning, trout
six till eight ; and on Sunday mornings until 12
o'clock.

*** RUPTURES of 30 years standing radickilly
cured ‘‘itliont confinement.

*4* There are private doors at each house, and
private rooms for Females.

N. B. The Afflicted would do well to read
Mesirs. COOPE 1 ail Co's Lectures on two pre•
Diseases, published at oue shilling, by Mr.
Harvey, 22, Blackfriars-road. They will also
prove useful to young Practitioners.

The following eirctrice took place at the
house of a gentleman in Bishop-street, last week.
The younger children of ►he family were in bed,
engaged in a childish altercation as to who bad
most room, when it was finally agreed to deter
the decision of this question until the arrival of an
elder brother (who slept in another bed in the same
room) with o candle. A thief, who had se-
creted himself under the boy's bed, bearing of
the candle, and thinking. prehably that lie should
be more secure under the other bed, made a move-
ment for that purpose, and touched the leg of ono
of the children. An alarm was quickly gi,en ;
but the thief escaped fro►n a window in the attic.
We are golly to add that the circumstance excit-
ed so much terror in the mind of a Lady in the
adjoining hone, RI to bring on a premature la-
bour ; the Lady is still in a very precarious
tute.—(litistol Joicrnal, Jan. 15.)
