SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

Yesterday Jams Burnham, a young boy of 13, but
a well known thief about Lambeth, was tried for en-
tering the dwelling house of Mr. King, at Lambeth,no
person but his wite, an infirm old Lady, being therein,
and stealing a watch with the appendages. He was
found guilty, and sentenced to be transported for
seven years.
Iffilliam Jones and Charles Matthews, two plumbers,
were found guilty, not only of stealing but ripping
off lead from premises, and were also transported for
seven years.
Jane Smith, a woman of a very matronly appearance,
who robbed a Mr. Few at Astley's Theatre in a fe-
rocious way, was also found guilty, and received a
like sentence of transportation for seven years.

We formerly mentioned the circumstance of a man
having died in Guy's Hospital in consequence of
swallowing several knives. He was a seaman be-
longing to his Majesty's ship Isis, and Dr. ',ARA, of
Portsea, was perfectly well acquainted with the case,
from the man's own description. The following is a
more particular account than any yet published :
On the 18th ult. William Cummins, worn out with
pain, and much emaciated, died at Guy's Hospital.
On inspecting the body, a pcirtion of iron, four inches
long, was found loose in the abdomen, or rather in the
cavity of the Pelvis ; and another was making its
way through the Ischia& notch. In the stomach
were several portions of iron ; one lining of a small
pocket-knife ; two small ornaments of a knife handle,
apparently of silver ; and a naval Captain's uniform
button r—Of the pieces of iron, twelve are distinctly
the remains of blades, and two others may possibly
be considered so. The remaining fragments are por-
tions of the springs and linings of the knife- handles,
some of them tapering to a point, and as sharp as a
pin. The blades are all corroded, longitudinally,
giving the appearance of several parallel groves,
running lengthways. The silver appears to be un-
injured. He swallowed the knives in 1805, and
voided some of them in 1807: when the circum-
stance was publicly made known, it did not obtain
general belief, though most respectably supported ;
but his death, connected with these circumstances,
must destroy every doubt.
Monday se'nnight, James Taylor was executed at
Taunton, pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of
J. Dyer, at the Bell public-house, in Bath. His be-
haviour sheaved a deep contrition for his offence, and
a proper resignation to that fate which his crime had
brought on him.
On Tuesday night, at ten o'clock, an alarming fire
broke out at the cottage of Colonel Hurst, on Lemon
Common, Surrey, which in three quarters of an hour
reduced the building to a heap of rubbish. It broke
out in a parlour, occasioned by a beam having taken
fire, which was at the back of the chimney. The fa-
mi:y were in London, and the servants had gone to
bed. The principal loss iii a library of very consider-
able value. The greater part of the furniture was
saved. _ _

. _
A few nights since, a woman sitting by her fireside,
at her apartment in King-street, Old-street-road, with
a child in her lap, her clothes caught fire, and she
was so dreadfully burnt, that there are no hopes of
her recovery. The child was sued.

RENOVATED HEAINH.
IT has been too frequently the subject of just and
IL general reprobation, that Men destitute of the elements of
the medical art have offered themselves as candidates for
public patronage in the profession of physic. For the purpose of
doing justice to the result of our studies and experience, and to
prevent us from being classed among those empirics whose imp
dent pretensions have, unfortunately for society, been too favour-
ably received, we beg leave to submit to the liberal and enlight-
ened, a faithful statement of our pursuits and acquirements.
After having received a regular medical education, as the pupils
of Messrs. Grindal and Blizard, whose lectures and practice we
carefully attended, es Profesors and Surgeons of the London Hos-
pital, we entered ourselves as students In that justly celebrated
school fur medical acquirements, the Royal College of Edin-
burgh, and were instructed in the different branches of Anatomy,
Surgery, the Theory and Practice of Physic, Chemistry, Mid-
wifery, Botany, &c. &c. &c by those mine= Professors, Drs.
Monro, Gregory, Black, Hamilton, Duncan, and Rutherford.
We trust we shall not be deemed presumptuous in saying, that
our proficiency and acquirements are not inconsiderable. Having.
for a long series of years made VENEREAL CO MPLAtbil S,
and the various diseases of DEBILITY, the particular object of
our studies and practice, it will, we hope, be allowed that we have
acquired superior knowledge of their treatment and care. In
slight and recent cases of infection, a perfect re-establishment is
completed in the short period of two days, and in those of the
utmost Inveteracy, where other practitioners have failed of suc-
cess, a proper perseverance in our plan of treatment ensures to tile
patient a safe and radical cure.
Amidst Vie melancholy variety of disorders which are the ef-
fects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the yosith of I
both sexes, there are none more alarming or more distressing !kan
those deficiencies and debilities which frequently prevent or em-
bitter the matrimonial state. To such persons it must be a con-
soling reflection to know that they may now, by a new a':d Infal-
lible mode of treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human
blessings, a strong, manly, and vigorous constitution. In as cases
of Debility, from whatever cause arising, as well as in every spe-
cies of Venereal infection, we may be consulted by patients ot
either sex with the great( st secrecy and honour Hours of con-
sultation at horrie from ten to three, and from six in the evening
titl.ten at night.
Patients in the country are requested to state the particulars of
their case, aye, and general habit of living. &c. inclosir, a remit-
tance for advice and medicines, when the same will b: given ot
ent to any part of the. kingdom. To ensure that secrecy .o es-
sential to our undertaking, the postage of letters ma he added to
the account for medicines.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of EducAtiOn
and Responsibility deviate from the General Sylt. :71 by
the selection of a particular branch, the sanctioa of long .conint:ed
success is the best cri:trion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our praci:e to the exclusive
treatment of two disorders, and t:te successful result of our ills
gives us additional ardour to oypoce, as far as we are
ravages of those complaints which are the most important is the
catalogue of human infirmi:ies.

AftLT ir.itiation-into every branch of practice, we contemplatil
the sufferings of Siphylitic and Debilitived Pa lents, and fori:tud a
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of unefiticre! men,
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of genetal practhioners.
The disorders, to the cure of Waich we have devoted our atten-
tion, comprise every species of Venereal Infection, wh..r!er of a
recent or long duration : 2dly, all kinds of Debiliy, wht-ti.er eis-
ing from the habits of school-buys, or the iudulgeticies of marine
age.—Numerous diseases are the result of ignorance, or haste iii
the tre,,tment of a simple Gonorrhea, and it not unfreqteT.tiy hap-
pen', that the seeds of I.fe are poisoned by the indi•c..e.ion of an
unguarded hour.

By a superior method such conVaints are easily cured; and
even where others have failed, ',le trust that presume to
art. a radical re-establichn e It.

Few, however, are the cases of complicated i.livress in this dis-
order, con-Fared with the calamitous situatioils of men, who,
from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieti, s of
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but care-
ftilly conceals his nitsfcirtune, it may be some consolation for him
to kno .v, that although it be an object of doubt or uncerta.tity
with oiler practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by the
gradual progress o:renovation is the acquirement of ourexpenence.
If the rites of Bacchus or N'enus have be:un to reduce manly
vigour, Much anxiety will be prevemed by an early counteraction of
this languid state, and in those ces .s, no gi tat difficulty will occur.
But where this deficiency has for years existed, a proper per‘e-
verance is indispensibly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks
of life, and to re-animate the constitution.
The secrecy which is so essential to our undertaking, and the
qualifications which we presume to state, form the has:, of ur
pretensions, and the coincidence with such this intimation glven
that Messrs. Laicti and Co. may be consulted personally, er by
letter, (unclosing a bank Note) at their house, No. a 9, Arundel-
:" reet, Strand, ne.-r Temple Bar.—There is an additional entrance
in Water-street adjoining, and the rftme is on both Door..
A Diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons in London,
anti Testimonials from the ntosteminent Physicians and Lec,:trcrs
of regular education, and assiduous attention to the studies of
every branch of the profession, are open to the inspection of any
enquirer, and constitute a fair ground fur that success with which
we have hitherto been honoured. E. LEIGH and Co.

of an old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of dis-
orders arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and
although he had the best aiedical advice which could be obtained,
and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured
which seemed to suit his case, or to do him any service; he re-
mained in a most reduced and pitiable situation for two years,
unable to follow tils profession, and scarcely able to walk or even
to stand on his legs ; in fact y one who knew him ever supposed
it possiblefer him ru recover. He was advised at last to try your
LEAKE'S Pll.LS—he did so, Adhering strictly to the directions
given with them—he heal not taken more than two boxes, before
he found an alteration for the better; this encouraged him to
proceed ied by taking a few boxes more he found his appetite
and strength gradually return, and is now as licalrhy and smut as
