A N HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
-LX-'TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets,
Eernival Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal
Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These
subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting
vases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long
and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In
the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness,
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing
state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates
in Impotence; these are its remote and ultimate effects,
white Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various
Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages
of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of
which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success..
ful practice, and at on, ;safe, ,speedy, and effectual, is
adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks oa the
evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure.

EAST INDIES.

(From the Government Gazette of April 12.)

We have been favoured with the following parti-
culars respecting the death of his Highness Maharaja
Doulet Rao Sindhia

The Maharaja had long been indisposed, but not
so seriously as to excite ally alarm of his immediate
dissolution ; and so little was it expected, that
shortly before•his death he had resolved to give an
entertainment to the Resident, in honour of the ter-
mination of his mission to the Governor-General,
and the visit of a deputation from his Lordship. On
the 20th of March, however, an accession of illness
came on, which continued to increase, and termi-
nated fatally on the 21st, at about eleven o'clock.
The Resident, accompanied by Captain Dyke, was
summoned about nine o'clock to the Palace, where
all the Chiefs were assembled, and which was sur-
rounded by a numerous and anxious crowd. The
Resident had been sent for by the desire of the Ma-
ha►aja, and was introduced to the inner apartments,
accompanied by Hindoo Rao, Bapoo Raghunath,
Raojee Khasgee Wale, Atmaram Pundit, and other
Chiefs. His Highness lay on a couch, supported
by pillows, and attended by a number of female ser-
vants, whilst behind a Purda, close to him, were the
Baiza Bai, Rookma Bai, and Bala Bai, with their
attendants. The Maharaja was much reduced, and
unable to maintain a conversation with the Resident,
although he appeared much gratified by his presence,
and in a few sentences he was able to articulate in-
timated his entire confidence in his discretion, and
in the wisdom and liberality of the British Govern-
ment. Being exhausted by the effort, and unable
to proceed in the conversation, the Resident retired
to await his recovery; but after an interval of some
duration, the loud lamentation ct the assistants pro-
claimed the termination of the Maharaja's career.
The corpse of Doulet Rao, was conveyed to the
funeral pile, with the singular and interesting forms
practised by the martial races of India, and, as
shown by Major Tod, formerly in use among our
Gothic ancestors.- He was seated in his palankeen
as if still alive, his face uncovered, and his person
richly attired, and decorated with a profusion of
costly ornaments. All his state elephants and led
horses accompanied the procession, and almost every
individual in camp was assembled, to pay the last
homage to their Prince. One of the Baia declared
her purpose of burning herself with the body, but
was prevailed upon to desist from her intention by
the firm and respectful remonstrances of the
Resident.

The sincere grief evinced by his subjects, as well
as by his family, is the best tribute that could be
offered to the character of Sindhia. He was tile
master of more than half Hindostan at the early age
of fifteen, and he w—s unfortunate in his connection
with Sirjee Kao Gatka. He was many years
involved in the tortuous labyrinth of Mahratta
policy, and he was subjected to the mortification of
seeing his power reduced to comparative insig-
nificance, and himself become of little or no account
in that extensive scene in which lie bad been the
master spirit. That these circumstances occasionally
exercised an unfavourable influence upon his conduct
and character was no more than to be expected ;
and it is highly to the credit of his memory that
such instances are rare, are limited to the early parts
of his career, and are of a much less atrocious
description than any occurrences with which
cotemporary Indian history is familiar. His later
years have been unmarked by any gross violation of
propriety or wanton exercise of power. The natural
disposition of Sindhia was mild and gentle. He had
given unquestionable proofs of courage and activity;
but his chief defect was indolence, which, through
life, prevented him from discharging effectively the
duties of his high station. His manners were con-
ciliating, his conversation lively, and the soundness
of his judgment is sufficiently shown in his preserv-
inghis political existence, after the downfall of those
Princes so long the partners of his political career,
and allied to him by indentity of nation and con-
formity of interests. Th e Peishwa, Holkar, and
Raja of Berar, the heads of the Mahratta confede-
racy, passed away, and left him, alone, to commise
rate,the folly which had precipitated their fate.
We have not yet learned who is to succeed the
Maharaja. It was his intention, we understand, to
have adopted a son, but we believe the purpose was
never carried into execution.

'l9.—According to further advices from
the Punjab, we learn that Yar Mohammed Khan
had been induced by his late defeat to proffer imme-
diate submission. He had written to Boodh Sinh,
and to Maharaja. Runjit Sinh, stating his readiness
to make a suitable present to the Raja, and to join
i
the Sikh army n suppressing the insurrection, and
promising future obedience. No answer had been
sent to his proposals. Part of the army on the fron-
tier had advanced towards presnawer, and were
within a short distance of that city. Presents of horses,
ornaments, and honorary dresses bad been despatched
to the troops, as a reward to those who distinguished
themselves in the late action.

PRICE OF RAW FAT, I,er stone of 81b.—,Sept. 14.
Price by Tallow (a 9 stated by the Tallow Melter 4) 30.

PRICE OF CANDLES,

Nagger was the only prisoner who appeared, the
others having been admitted to bail.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, on the part of the defence,
applied to have- Hagger's trial postponed until the
adjournment day, when they might all be tried to-
gether; but this was not acceded to, and the trial
proceeded.
Mr. ADommus, in detailing the case to the Jury,
observed, that it was one of the most extraordinary
cases of juvenile depravity that ever occupied the
attention of a Court of Justice. The young lath,
on whose behalf he appeared, was only 15 years of
age; she was the daughter of a very respectable gen-
tleman, and had been educated with -the utmost de-
licacy and propriety. The Learned Counsel then
laid the facts of the case before the Jury, as they af,
terwards appeared in evidence.
Eliza Rebecca Harris was then sworn, and exa-
mined by Mr. ADoLmus.—She cvas fashionably
dressed, and conducted herself with becoming de-
corum, and shed tears most copiously during her
examination. Her statement was as follows :—I
am fifteen years of age, and up to the present time
I have been educated at a boarding-school ; on the
3d of August, I was on a visit with my mamma to a
lady at Tottenham ; and on the afternoon of that
day, I went with my cousin Sophia, to take a walk
in the corn-fields, at a short distance from the house;
as we entered the fields, we saw three boys sitting•;
on a dung heap, but they did not say any thing to
us then, neither did we address them ; we had not,
however, walked far in the fields when the boys
ran after as, and the biggest of the three, who is the
prisoner at the bar, came behind me, seized rue by
the neck, and threw me on the grass; I screamed as
loud as I could, and my cousin ran away for assist-
ance. [The witness here burst into tears, and it was
with considerable reluctance that she detailed the
particulars of the outrage, which proceeded to the
last extremity.] The struggle continued for some
time, and at length two men, whom my cousin met,
came up, and the prisoner and his companions ran
away; the two other boys remained near us the
whole
.of the time, and encouraged the prisoner to
go on, and desired me not to be frightened; I saw
the boys again on the following Saturday, when I
instantly recognised the prisoner as being the boy
who had ill-used me.

Sophia Williams, cousin to the prosecutrix, was
then sworn.—She appeared about twelve years of
age, and confirmed Mis`s Harris's evidence.
John Perry stated, that on the day in question, he
was met by Sophia Williams, who told him and his
apprenttce that three boys were ill-treating her
cousin; they made every possible haste, and met
Miss Harris in the corn-fields; her clothes covered
with mud, and she was crying very much : they made
every inquiry after the boys, but could gain no
tidings of them.
Miss Mary Anne Parliss examined--I RlTlgover-
ne4 to 'Miss Hairis, and on the day in question I
was residing with her at Tottenham. Before she.
came into the room, a Mr. Rawlins entered, and in-
formed me that Miss Harris had been ill-used ; Mrs.
Harris and several gentlemen were also present, and
as soon as they were gone she related the particu-
lars of the transaction to me. From the bruises
which I observed I can swear that her account is
correct.
