POLICE✓-UNION HALL, AUGUST 7.

EIDAMTr•TNE LINO V. ZLIZABETII JAMIE
The prisoner stood charged upon the information of
D. James, with having intermarried with him, her
former husband, William Facey, being living.

THE KING V. WILLIAM LACEY.
This defendant also stood charged with having mar-
ried Elizabeth Budd, his former wife, the above-
named Elizabeth James, otherwise Elizabeth Facey,
being living. This compound case of bigamy came
before the Magistrates on a former day, under the
following circumstances :—Elizabeth James was
brought up, accused with having married with D.
James ; on which occasion, W. Facey was summoned
to appear and give evidence against her, as being her
first husband. When lo! he no sooner presented
self, than he was himself charged with having married
with Elizabeth Budd, the said Elizabeth James, other-
wise Facey, being alive. The Magistrates on that
occasion, adjourned the hearing of both cases till this
day. And now
Mr. BARRY attended on behalf of Wm. Facey, and
was heard at some length against the nature of the
evidence adduced in support of the charge against his
client, which, he contended, did not amount to legal
proof.—Upon this point the Magistrate who presided
bought, with the Counsel, that testimony sufficiently
legal did not appear to warrant his committal for
, trial, but he appointed another day for re-examination.
The defendant, Wm. Facey, was a military man, and
as a soldier and officer bore a gallant character for
upwards of 30 years of steady and arduous duty.—
Several officers and personages of exalted rank, were
in attendance, if necessary, to give him that character
which his services merited. He was ordered to be
brought up again on Wednesday next, when all the
parties, parish officers and others, concerned in the
prosecution, will attend.—The second marriage was
stated to have been celebrated as far back as the year
1795, the ladies cor.sequently are not of that tender
.age which so much enhances this offence.
MANSION-House.—Saturday a hackney coachman
was fined 40s. for charging 3s. 6d. for a 2s. fare, and
giving counterfeit silver in change. . Not being able
to pay the penalty, he was sent to the Compter.
A soldier in the London Militia was charged with
an assault upon a female 12 years of age. The pri-
soner threkt the blame upon the girl ; on which the
Loan MAYOR ordered him to be reported to his Corn.
?funding Officer, notwithstanding the prisoner's re-
peated entreaties to be sent before a Civil Tribunal.
GUILDHALL.—Saturday Gavin was charged
by Mr. Widdington, a farmer, at Stevenage, in Hert-
ford:hire, with stealing a black gelding, the property
of Mr. W. The prosecutor stated, that a short time
since the prisoner came to him, requesting employ.
ment, and he was accordingly set to work in a chalk
pit. Having worked with Mr. W. three or four days,
he was disch , and the morning after the gelding
was missing. r. W. then sent to the public-house
where the prisoner lodged, to enquire whether he was
there or not, but he had left that place at midnight,
and they did not know where he was gone. Mr. W.
observed from his yard the track of the horse's feet
towards London, and immediately set off for that
place. On the road a turnpikeman and a boy des-
cribed the prisoner and the gelding whom they had
seen pass that morning. NV. Humphreys, servant to
the prosecutor, proved the identity of the prisoner ;
and that he saw him coming oat of the Ram Inn,
Smithfield. Mr. Griffiths, of the Ram, proved that
the prise.r.er brought the gelding to his stables ; that
some horse-dealers stated to him that they thought
the gelding had been stolen, as the prisoner had at
first asked 301. for the beast; at the second bargain
201. ; and at the third 101.: and the rest to be paid
to his master, who, he said, kept the Flying Horse
Inn, in Canterbury ; but the dealers knew there was
no such Inn in that place.—The prisoner having
nothing to say in his behalf, he was fully committed
to take his trial at the Hertford Assizes.

The following prisoners have been tried at Exeter
and found guilty, viz.—
John Humes, for stealing out of the ship Robert and Thomas,
lying in Hamoaze, an anchor, and eight fathom of two•inch buoy
rope; William How, for stealing a bag of salt, a brass cock, two
knives, &c.; John Brown, for a bnrglary ; Elizabeth Brown, for
stealing a black velvet pellisse ; and John Chapple, for breaking
open the dwelling-house of Thomas Fairchild, of Landkey, in the
night time; Samuel Cockran, for stealing a chest of wearing ap-
parel; Elizabeth Webber, for stealing a silver watch ; and Samuel
Pate, for stealing 10 plows of dowlas, two pieces of fine linen,
seven pieces printed cotton, two pistols, &c. to be transported for
seven years.—George Marchant, for stealing divers articles, in
company with Samuel Pate ; and Sarah Parsons, for stealing five
one-pound notes and a piece of muslin, to be imprisoned two
years.—Mary Downs, for stealing a blanket; Philip Fear, for
stealing a one-pound Barnstaple bank note and Its. in silver;
Ann Luke, for stealing a light brown pellisse ; William Launce,
for stealing a feather-bed; Richard Solomon, for an assault and
attempt to ravish Mary Loring Fitzgerald, a girl about 12 years,
of age; and John Witheridge, for bigamy, to be imprisoned one
year.—Several others are acquitted.

Soon after eight o'clock on Saturday morning,
Thomas Crutcher, alias Kircker (an accomplice with
Broadway), and William Davis, convicted of stab-
bing William George, at Gosport, were taken from
Winchester gaol to the usual place of execution,
where, after joining a short time in prayer with the
clergyman, they were launched into eternity. Tbey
both acknowledged themselves guilty of the offences
fe.r which they suffered. Davis said it was the effects
of liquor that occasioned him to do it, and he had not
any knowledge of the transaction till taken before a
Magistrate on the following day : he has been many
years in the army, during which he had seen much
hazardous service, and was with Sir J. Moore's army
in Spain, and at the time of committing this act was
waiting with his regiment (the ith'foot) to go out on
the present expedition.

Lately died, aged 19, Join./ DAWES WORGANI of
Bristol, admired and sincerely and deservedly esteem-
ed by all who knew him, amongst whom was the
writer of this article. His early ripe abilities were of
the first rate ; he was a Hebrew, Greek, and Latin
scholar, and had added the acquirement of the French,
Italian, and other modern languages. He was a poet
of no mean order, as the following Sonnet will evince
He had been for some time domestic tutor to the sons
of Dr. JENNER, who dicovered his brilliant talents,
but who always predicted an early grave to this spe-
, cimen of premature genius. He was a sincere Chris-
tian, of amiable manners, and unimpeachable morals :

SONNET TO A FRIEND GOING TO LONDON.
From the dear village, and its flow'ry dell,
To Pride's tumultuous scenes thy feet must go;
See, where Augusta's glittering turrets swell,
Wide blended haunts of pleasure and of woe!
And while thy soul to wealth and fame aspires,
Thou'it scorn the vale in Nature's beauties drest ;
Burt say—can glory satiate thy desires ?
Can shining gold atone for banish'd rest ?
Long is the pilgrimage we're doom'd to tread,
And wiser they who strew their path with flow'rs,
Twine the gay chaplet for their weary head,
And nurse bright visions in Retirement's bow'rs,
Than they who toil in Grandeur's idle schemes,
Yuk'd to the car of Pride, or lull'd iu Glory's dreams. '
W.

Friday se'nnight, in the evening. one of the priso-
ners on parole at Launceston made his escape, and
has not since been heard of.—About three weeks ago
three of the prisoners in the new prison on Dartmoor
hid themselves beneath the firth and offals of a dung
cart, and actually escaped in this manner from the
prison ; but soon after, the boy who drove the cart
perceiving something move, gave the alarm, when
the Frenchmen were secured by some soldiers who
chanced to be near, and reconveyed to prison. About
the same time a general escape was projected from
that great national prison by perforating the solid
wall, though the massy appearance of the structure
would seem to bid defiance to any such attempt. A
timely discovery marred the project.

An unfortunate accident happened on Monday
se'nnight at the gunpowder-mills lately erected in Co-
sawes Wood, near Penryn. One of the carpenters
was directed to make a small alteration in the machine
that works the sieves, and the man who had the care
of the house was preparing to remove all the powder
under process, but was prevailed on to let it'remain,
upon an assurance from the carpenter that he should ,
only use a wooden mallet. Soon after, however, '
the neighbourhood was alarmed by an explosion,
and the manager of the works, approaching the spot,
found the carpenter and the other workman, with
two women, blown about twenty yards from the
ruin, and dreadfully wounded. The man and
one woman, survived only a few hours ; the other
woman languished till next morning. Another man
and a girl, who were at work in an adjoining house,
escaped unhurt, although they were only a few yards
from the place where the explosion happened. The
ether buildings and mills, being all seated in a valley,
about fifty -yards from each other, with a mound of
earth between each, received no damage, the force
of the explosion necessarily venting itself upwards.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

'THE Advantage the Public mast. tl‘vays derive
A- from regularly educated professional men directing alnion
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never mere
(dearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which f ..s
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the eKtraut-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, Messrs:
Cu KRIE and Co. Surkteons, formerly in his Majesty's scrritt,ll..ve
made the Venereal Mean the partimilar object of their investi•
gation, and are happy in having discaviirid a medicine supenor
mercury in the cure of that complaint; it is- sufficient. to observe
that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those
ot mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige Of
the virus, in its Most confirmed stages, yet it does not in the least
injure, the constitution ; on the contrary, it r •movates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and fkcihtates di-
gestion : instead of reducing a strong and vigorous ebonite-
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre. .
serve,;* that constitution in its primitive state, -but restores a wok
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour. Number-
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility,. whether proceeding from an excess
of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the more insidious, thougk
not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sere
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy vanety of
disorders which are the conserilimice of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de;
ficiency which prevtaas oc embitters the matrimonial state ; the
unhappy sufferer broods over has misfortune, ashamed to seek re
lief, until he is reduced to suck a state of weakness as to render
life oppressive. such persons it must be a consoling reflex- .
tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible .nicae
treatment, he restored to th.at greatest of all human blessings, a
strong, manly and vigorous constitution.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL tyil:N ut
and Responsibility deviate from the General System
the selection of a particular branch, the sitt.ction of long eunti;:acd
success is the best criterion of superiority.
: ourteen years.have we devoted our pra:tize to the exclusi..-e
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of our pi..n
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as tar as we ure able,
vages of those complaints which are the most import:Li: ..I.e
catalogue of human infirmities.
After initiation into every branch of pnact4ce, we contonplatti
the sufferings of Siphyibis and debilitated Patients, and :ornicii
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of umalucated
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general praCtitioners.

. _ . .
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted oer a•
Lion, comprise comprise every species of Venereal Infection, whethc
recent or long duration: 2dly, All kinds of debility, winu.l
arising from the habits of school-boys, or the it.:dulgencies of
Lure age.—Numerous diseases are the result of ignorantr. J
haste in the treatment of a sample Gonorrlicea, and it not hnf!
quently happens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the L.&
cretion of an unguarded hour.
By a superior method such complaints are easily cured;
even where others have failed, we trust that we may prc,ail.:
offer a radical re-establishment.
Few, however, are the cases of complicated dishes in this dis-
order, compared with the calamitous situations of :nett, who,
from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties o:
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer bands over his misery,.but cite:
fully conceals his misfortune, it may be Corte col,solation for hitt
to know, that although it he an object of &fast or uncertaias
with other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by the
gradual progress of renovation is the acquirement of our experien:4
If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce many
vigour, much anxiety will he prevented by an early counteraction
of this languid state,and in those ca ses, no great difficulty w illave.
But where this deficiency has for years existed, a proper pert,-
vg.rance is indispensibly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks
of life, anclto re-aniniate the constitution.

qualifications which we Rresurne to state, form the basis eici
