This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel ne hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The ,PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, in perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tapes, Sze., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporaly at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent; will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.

The extensive sale of these little works has proved their un-
rivalled utility as initiatory to all branches of learning. Their
style has rendered them available by the youngest scholar, while
at the same time adults have derived equal advantage from
them in commencing a course of any of the stlbjects treated of.
Each Catechism has been carefully re-edited, and were the
names of the various editors to be given, they would be found
to include those of men the most distinguished in their various
professions and pursuits. Every'edition is also carefully su-
pervised, so as to comprise the latest discoveries or improve-
ments. It is not too much to say that these little works have
greatly aided the intellectual advance of the age, by rendering
clear to the dullest capacity the elements of all branches of
knowledge.

TRIAL, of DE LAH UNT for MURDER.

DUBLIN, JAN. 14.—Nothing could' surpass the ex-
citement this day about-the Commission Court, in con-
sequence of it being fixed for the trial of John Dela-
hunt for the murder of the boy Thomas Patrick Ma-
guire, last December, under circumstances of unprovoked
atrocity. The wretched culprit stood at the bar the
greater part of the day with Lis hands grasping a hand-
kerchief applied to his face. An occasional glimpse
showed him to be of forbidding aspect, greatly increased
by the haggard and perturbed appearance of his coun-
tenance.

The Hon. Justice ToRnENs anl Baron PENNE-
FATHER were the sitting Judges. Ou being arraigne4
the prisoner pleaded " Not guilty."
Mr. BREWSTER, Q.C., state' the case for the prose-
cution.

William Butler, a boy about nine years old, exa-
mined—l live in Plunket•strect. 1 knew ThomAs
Maguire, who also lived there. I was playing with
him in Blackball-row on Mond ly before Christ.nas-day,
about four o'clock, or a little after. John Fox and Pat
Fox were with us. A man came and called him away,
and he went with him in the direction of Patrick-street.
He never saw the man since, and would not know him
if he did.

Cross-examined—l knew the hour exactly, because 1
heard a clock strike in Plunket-street before I went to
Blackhall-row.

Margaret Delahunt, examined by Mr. BREWSTER—
I know the prisoner. He is the brother of my husband.
I remember the evening of Monday, the 20th of De-
cenaher. I saw the prisoner on that evening at my lodg-
ings, at the corner Of Litt'e Britain-street. He had a
little child with him with him when he came in. The
child was about nine years old, and had dark hair with
curls about its forehead. He had a dark jacket and
naukeen trousers, with nothing on his feet. It was
about five o'clock when he came in, and his mother,
who lived with her (witness), asked him him what kept
him out. all day ? and he said he had been at the Castle
with Major Brown. He said he had a little gentle-
man with him, and I turned round and saw the
child. I asked the child what his name was, and the
prisoner said he would not speak. I asked him was
he hungry, and he said be was, and I gave him
a potatoe. I asked him his name, and he said,
" Tommy Maguire." He said his father was a baker,
but he could not tell where he lived. 1 toll the pri-
soner for God's sake to take him home, as bis parents
must be distracted about him. The child had a mark
on his forehead, apparently received in infancy. The
prisoner said he had got the child's address from a
policeman, and I said it was a wonder some policeman
was not sent with him home He said the policeman,
Mr. Barrett, was on duty, and could not go with him.
The prisoner then went away with the child. I saw
the prisoner two hours after, and when he returned to
the room I asked him what he did with the child, and he
said he left it at the corner of Buckingham street, and
that it then knew its way home. I saw the child
afterwards dead on Tuesday night. lam positive it
was the same child the prisoner had with in the room.—
(A knife was here handed to the witness, and she stated
that it was her knife, and the only one she had). I
saw that knife on Monday, at breakfast. The prisoner
was at breakfast with me that morning. I missed it in
the course of the day when asked for a loan of it. I
could not then find it, nor on Tuesday, when I searched
minutely for it. I saw the prisoner sharpen this knife
on the S.iturday previous, along with his brother's knife.
The prisoner never slept in my house after that Monday.
Cross-examined by Mr. WALSH—Had a quarrel with
prisoner some time ago. He got me put in the station-
house on a charge of deserting a child in his brother's
hall. I lived with his brother, and had a child by him,
which I went on that occasion to leave with him. The
brother was in the room, and went out in disguise with
a bonnet and cloak on. I suppose the prisoner did all
he could to prevent his brother from marrying me. It
was about a year after the prisoner put me in the station-
hoase that I was married to his brother. I did not
speak freely to him since until lately. When the pri-
soner brought the child to my room it was by candle-
light I saw him. It was a halfpenny candle-on a chair
by the fireside. I saw the body of the child by candle-
light on the next evening. I could not be mistaken as
to the child. I was too long looking at it to be mis-
taken. It was positively the same child I saw dead
that was brought by the prisoner to my room.—(Much
sensation.) Ido not expect any reward for coming
here, nor would I take it.—(The witness was much
affected during the latter portion of her testimony.)
E'iza. Mason examined by Mr. M‘Kane—llive in
Eastmorland-lane, near B )gcr°ot-steet Bridge. I know
the prisoner at the bar for five or six months. I re-
member seeing the prisoner at the bar on the Monday
before Christmas-day, in Baggot-street-row, about five
or six in the evenirg. I met him near Mrs. Fitz's
house. There were some other children with me. 1
saw John Delahunt pass by, and I ran after him and
spoke to him. There was a little child about six or
seven years of age I think with him. He had a coarse
linen bib and a cap on him. I asked him where he
was going, and he said he had a strange child with which
Mr. Barrett, of the Castle, had sent him home. I spoke
to the child, and John Delahunt said he lived near
Bali's-bridge, taking the word out of the child's mouth.
I asked the boy what his name was, and he said
" Tommy Macguire." The prisoner heard him say
that. I asked the prisoner to come back and see my
mother, and be said he would in the course of half an
hour. He went off in the direction of Ball's-bridge
with the child. He returned in the course of half an
hour to my mother, and he had not the child with him.
1 asked him did he find its parents. He said that when
he came to Ball's-bridge the child kneN its way home
from that, and he bad left it then. I saw a dead child
afterwards at Irishtown. It was the same child that
John Delahunt bad with him the Monday before
Christmas-day.
Christopher Lennox, 83 B, examined by Mr. M'KANE
—I was called on by the last witness on the 20th of
December, about ten minutes before seven o'clock. Io
consequence of what she told me I went to Stable-lane,
an:! saw a dead child there. I got a light and felt
him. He was very warm and bleeding. He was lying
on his right side. The place where he was lying was
outside the Circular-road. When the light came I saw
that its throat was cut. The inspector found a cap,
which I saw afterwards. The cap was lying ten or
fifteen perches from the body.
By the C.)lner—Buckingham-street is off Summer-
hill. I do not know of any street or place of that
name near Baggot-sti act. The place where the body
WAS found is 600 yards from Ball's-bridge.
Edward Barrett, 72 A, examined by Mr. MARTLEY
—ldentified a child's cap and a large stone, with masks
of blood on it, found near the cap, as found in the lane
on the evening of the murder.
Thomas Gavin, a boy ten years of age, examined
by Mr. BREWSTER—Swore to finding the knife op-
posite to Delahunt's hall, about 20 yards' distance from
it. (The knife was the one identifis.d by Margate.
Delahunt as her property.)

After some further evidence, the case for the Crown
closed at a quarter before three.
Mr. CURRAN then proceeded to address the Jury for
the prisoner, and brought forward some objections,
which were reserved for argument.
B.tron PENNEFATIigit then proceeded to charge
the Jury.
At•five o'clock the Jury retired'te con'tridertheir
diet. The Jury, after being cut of COurt lor twenty
minutes, returned and handed in a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner heard the finding of the Jury without
any risible emotion.

Baron PENNEFATHER said that certain objections
had been brought forward by the prisoner's Counsel, and
the Court would not pass sentence until they had been
dispcsed of. They would sit at eleven o'clock to-mor-
row to hear them argued. This course did not, how-
ever, impugn the propriety of the verdict which bad
been given.
3/ N. 15.—The point of law raised in favour of the
convicted murderer, Delahunt, was beard at great
length, and the Court finally ruled it to be of no
maroon%

The Hon. Justice TORRENS proceeded to pass sen•
trance noon the wretched culprit. He stood at the
bar, with his face covered, as on yesterday, while the
Le irned Judge delivered a most impressive and affect-
ing sentence. When he named the day for his execu-
tion to be the sth of February next., and said, " May
the Lord have mercy on your soul," the convict fell
back into the dock in a swoon, in which he remained,
apparently lifeless, for nearly half an hour. With the
aid of restoratives he was recovered, and helped out of
Court into a covered car, in which were his mother and
two officers of the prison. An escort of mounted police
rode along with the car as it proceeded to Kilmain-
ham, followed by an immense crowd. The public enter-
tain strong hopes that he will make some re% elations
about the murdered Italian boy, and Dolan, •vho was
murdered in Drogheda, in a similar manner to the poor
boy for whose death ho has been brought to justice.

FOURTEEN VESS2LS ASHORE.--011 Monday
(Thursday), we had a tremendous snow-storm on this
coast, which has been attended with very great destruc-
tion amongst the shipping entering the harbour of this
port (Sunderland). About four o'clock in the after-
noon, when it began to grow dark, it being then flood-
tide, a great number of large vessels, while endeavouring
to pro:eed up the river (Wear), got foul of each other,
and a strong southerly wind then blowing across the
river, many were driven upon the potatoe-garth ; and,
between, that time and six o'clock, vessels continued at
intervals :to ground there, most of which received more
t ries& damage, by driving agains-t each other.-1`
