embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must

however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indis-
cretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus
" The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous ,tyie in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive.of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

The Bruges Journal of the 22d says, " Yesterday
an accident happened to the trains which left Bruges for
Brussels at half-past three o'clock. At Bloemondale one of
tie pistons of the engine broke, and the train could not
proceed. The signal was immediately given to Ghent, and
after some hours delay another engine came from Ghent to
bring the train to that city. This accident delayed for several
hours the arrival of all the trains on the western and southern
lines."—Brussels paper, Feb. 24.

. •
MUNICH, FEB.. l4e—The deputies of the States of
he Zollverein will meet in this city on the Ist of July.

This cas?, after lasting the whole of Monday and to-day,
was brought to a conclusion this evening.
It was an information against the defendant for receiving
presents from the Raja of Tanjore, at whose Court he was re-
sident, and from the neighbouring Princes of Poodoocottah,
which by Act of Parliament was a misdemeanour.
According to the Solicitor-General's statement, the de-
fendant had received a monthly allowance of two thousand
rupees from the Raja besides other large sums, under the
head of "table-money," and under various pretexts.
Runiours orihise proceedings having reached the Indian
Government, Mr. Bayley and Mr. Kinderslev (since dead)
were sent to investigate the matter, and the ?ollowing is one
of the letters from the defendant to Mr. Kindersley:—
" My dear Kindersley,—l have some hopes that you may
be spared a duty which I am sure will be most disagreeable
to you, from a letter which I have addressed to Government,
and Al' which I enclose you a copy. Pray show it to the
official; if you think proper, to Bayley, with my regards, if
he pleases to accept them, certainly with my respects. He
has acted fairly and honourably to me, occording to the
impressions which he has received ; but I wish he could
have read my heart, or which would have answered the
same purpose, the heart of the Raja, the bitterly de-
ceived!' No; it is I that have been bitterly deceived. I
have not the least intention of denying the fact of having
lent myself to a system of some forty years' duration.
The cruelty of Sir Fadom's measure, my deep and hopeless
state of embarrassment, the refu,al of the Court to grant me
any redress, because I was employed out of the regular
line of my profession,' though they acknowledged the injus-
tice I bad met with from the Governorrof Madras, the inat-
tention of Lord Elphinstone to their orders for my appoint-
ment to Travancore, by way of compensation, the reduction
of my salary at Tanjore, when I did return there, of upwards
of 500/. per annum, the entire failure of my health, and with
it all hopes of release from the debts I had incurred for
others. Oh, I could add to the list, but though I did so for
ever, it would be no excuse. The best, the only palliative
part of the proceeding is, that I did not deceive the Raja.
He was told I would unflinchingly perform my public duty
and I did so, ' hoping against hope.' I told him repeatedly
I would leave him to his fate, never to return, and I did so,
at how great a sacrifice let the present well foreseen (as
likely to happen) apparent ruin, to which Bayley's belief
of the Raja's assertions exposes me and mine, testify. Good
bye, I have been very foolish, 'hoping against hope,' and
misled by the Raja's promises, and at times even his sem-
blance of' amendment. If your inquiry is to proceed in spite
of my letter, it should commence with the installation of
Sirfagee, in 1799, and Mr. Torins and his annuity of 1,0001.
per annum ; Colonel Blackburn ditto, Fife's ditto ; and, above
all, to entertain the fact whether I have made any altera-
tion in the method left me by poor old M‘Lean. No excuse,
I know it and deeply feel it. It does not signify whether it
is the mere bite of the apple, or eating it all. Touch not,
taste not, or the act of insolvency and the' choice left me.
And I was foolish. " 1 am faithfully yours,
" A. DOUGLAS."
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, having concluded his address,
proceeded to produce his evidence, which almost entirely
consisted of written testimony sent over from India. The
reading of these parchments occupied the remainder of yes-
terday and a great part of to-day.
Mr. KELLY addressed the jury for the defendant.

Lord DENMAN, with regard-to the (letter,-expressed his
clear and distinct opinion that the Learned Counsel who
conducted the prosecution would not have been justly dis-
charging their duty to the public had they not laid that letter
before the jury. In his opinion the evidence adduced was
admissible for the purpose of proving the charges which had
been made, and if the jury believed that evidence, the ver-
dict must be for the Crown.

The jurors intimated their belief of the evidence, and ex-
pressed their readiness to pronounce the verdict.
A discussion then ensued as to the counts on which the
verdict should be taken, and certain counts were selected
for that purpose. The verdict was then entered for the
Crown.

Lord Denman, on the application of Mr. Kelly, reserved
to the defendant leave to move to enter a verdict for him,
in case the Court should think that the objections taken in
the course of the trial by Mr. Kelly were sustainable in law,
or that the evidence was not sufficient to support the informa-
tion. His Lordship took the opportunity of expressing in
strong terms his approbation of the conduct of Mr. Bayley,
who had succeeded the defendant as resident at Tanjore, and
who, notwithstanding any precedents afforded by the con-
duct of former Residents, had positively refused those advan-
tages which they had accepted, and which had been likewise
offered to him. Mr. Bayley had done himself much honour
iu thus preferring the performance of his duty to the gratifi-
cation of his interests.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN
and a special jury.)
RELPH V. 'UMBER.
This was the only case which came before the Court to-
day, and it possessed little interest to the public. The action
arose out of a distress and sale of goods, which the plaintiff
alleged belonged to himself. The only Question was whether
the goods sold really belonged to the plaintiff or to another
person, who was indebted to the defendant. The case was
likely to occupy the whole of the day.

• ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Carlisle, Feb. 24.
The Assizes for the county of Cumberland commenced
here this morning. The Criminal Court sat at ten o'clock,
Mr. Justice Coltman presiding; Mr. Justice Wightman sat
at twelve o'clock on the civil side.
The calendar contains the names of 22 'prisoners. Of these
one, Jane Crosby, stands charged. with the murder of her
child, at Lammonby, the appalling particulars of which case
have been very lately befbre the public. There are two cases
of manslaughter, one of burglary, two of horse-stealing, and
two of bigamy. There is one case of an indictment under
the late Bankrupts' Act, against the bankrupt for illegally
obtaining goods.
On the civil side but two causes are entered for trial; both
were undefended, and were disposed of in a few minutes, when
the Court rose.
__ _

(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.)
John Gillespie was indicted for a burglary in the house of
Joseph Grindal, at Wigton, on the night of the 10th of De-
cember last.
Mr. Fawcett conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was
defended by Mr. Ramshay.
Mr. FAWCETT stated the case, and called the following
witnesses :
Joseph Grindal stated, that he is engaged in business as a
draper at Wigton, and that on the night of the 10th of De
cember last the house and shop were fastened up in the usual
manner. The witness slept up• stairs, in the same room with
his assistant, Joseph Chadwick. About two o'clock he was
awakened by a noise below stairs. He listened, but the
noise had ceased. Being alarmed, however, he awoke
Joseph Chadwick, and both went down stairs. On going
to the door leading out of the shop, he found it open. It
had been fastened the night before. Hearing a slight noise
in the shop, he endeavoured to close the door, but found that
the lock was broken. He then saw a light for a moment,
but it was instantly extinguished, and some person came out
of the shop door. The witness caught him by the breast,
but was instantly knocked down. He was insensible for
some seconds, and on coming to himself a little, he found
some one beating him on the head and face. He struck at
the man, and called for help. His assailant put his fingers
into the witness's mouth, and nearly choked him. The wit•
ness caught the man by the ear, and the man let him go,
and made off along the passage towards the back-yard. The
witness pursued him, but lost sight of him, and returning,
along the passage, found a blue cap, with something in it
he supposed to be the lining, but which proved to be a
handkerchief. At the shop door, out of which the rob-
bers had come, were found a crowbar and a hat, and
on the counter a dark lantern. A large quantity of goods
had been taken from the drawers, and put up ready to
be taken away, but nothing apparently had been removed.
The prosecutor was severely cut on the lip and nose, appa-
rently with some sharp instrument. The wounds bled for
several hours.
Joseph Chadwick stated, that he went down with Mr.
Grindal along the passage to the back door of the shop.
They found it open. Mr. Grindal directed the witness to
bring a light, and he went towards the kitchen for that pur-
pose. Looking back, however, and seeing a light in the shop,
he returned, but the light was instantly extinguished, and
some men rushed out. One of them passed him in the pas-
sage, and the witness felt he had a cloth cap. He ran along
the passage, and witness pursued him into the yard. He
got over into the yard of the Black Swan Mlle-house ad-
joining, and witness followed, calling for assistanae. At this
moment another man came up, and told the witness if he did
not hold his tongue, he would blow his brains out, and both
the men went off in the direction of a passage adjoining the
Black Swan-yard, called Meeting-house-lane.
It appeared that about daybreak the following morning
there was found a pair of boots on a horse-stone in Meeting-
house-lane. These were of rather peculiar make. The
right one was very much bent in the sole, and inside the
heel was a piece of cork so as to raise that part of the foot
about an inch. The prisoner is lame in the right foot, and
wears usual!), a boot of a similar construction. A shoemaker
was also called who had mended a pair of boots for the pri-
soner, and had put on the right boot a patch similar to that
ohfa the prisoner in cus-
ad
appearing on the boot now produced. The heel was raised in
the same manner. The prisoner had beenpolice-officerbeen seen in Meeting-
house-lane about two hours before the robbery.

Mr. RAMSHAY addressed the jury for the defence.
His LORDSHIP summed up.
The jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty.—Trans-
ported for life.
THE LAMMONBY MURDER..--His LORDSHIP stated that he
had examined the little girl, the principal witness in this
case, and that she was in such a state of ignorance that he
could not rermit her to be sworn. It would probably be ne-
cessary to postpone the trial.
