CORONER'S hoourr.—On Tuesday an Inquisition
was held at the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, on
the body of Thomas Smith Cook. From the evi-
dence, it appeared that the deceased was a Gentleman
from the country, who being in liquor associated
himself with a girl of the town, with whom he went
to the house of a Jew in St. Catherine's-lane, on Fri-
day night last. After taking some supper he was
following the girl into her sleeping-room, when he
fell down the narrow stair-case, and pitched on his
head. With the help of the girl and his host he was
got up stairs again, undressed, and laid in bed. when
he desired to be let alone, saying, ,4 he should do well
er...11811 now." Thi young woman was with him all
r.;ght, but he neither spoke nor stirred, and in the
t;:iog was found in a dangerous state, when sure
hcal aid was called in, but too late. On opening the
ead alter death, an extensive fracture was found on
the right parietal bur.e, and the brain I.r.t!ed with ex-
travasated blond from the ruptured vessels, which
caused his death. From the nature of the case, the
discussion took up several hours, and three medical
men were examined ; the other witnesses were of the
lov.est order; ar.d as some suspicion of unfair pro-
ceedings had be: excited, the house where the In-
quest was taken was thronged during'the whole day.
It turned out, however, that no pail of the deceased's
piopeny was missing, and the Jury, after a patient
and laborious investigation, were couvinced that the
deceased bad come to his death wholly by accident,
wh:ch therefore was their verdict.

SURREY -XINCISTON MARCH 31.
MURDER AT VAUXHALL.

Charles Callaghan was this morning put, to the bar,
on the charge of having murdered Moses Merry, the
servant of Misses Gompertz, residing at Vauxhall, in
December last.

The particulars of this horrid mtirdet !Mist be
fresh in the recollection of our Readers, particularly
as Pai isle, the accomplice of Callaghan in this foul
transaction, afterwards made such ample confessions
before the Magistrates. But on this occasion an im-
mense body of the strongest evidence was adduced,
independent of that given by the accomplice in thel
murder and robbery. The Misses Gompertt, their
servants, and others, were examined, as to the state
in which the premises were found after the robbery
and murder, and the articles left behind by the priso-
ner and his accomplice. It was proved that Cal-
laghan wore right and left shoes, and that one of the
shoes left behind was his, and that it was one of the
shoes of which be had robbed a shoemaker, who ap-
peared and identified the articles. A stick, afterwards
found in the kitchen, was also traced to Callaghan.—
In the t vening of the murder, Callaghan said to the
people where-he lodged, who appeared as witnesses,
that he and Parish lodged in one room together, that
they were going either to the Surrey Theatre or Co- j
vent Garden ; and he asked for a walking-stick ;
the one in question, having a large head to it, was the
stick which had been lent to Callaghan in consequence
of his request.
Benjamin Parish's evidence was similar to the con-
fessions whiclkhe made to the Magistrates; and which
was published at the time, excepting the particulars
of the manner in which he and Callaghan became
acquainted. From his evidence, it appeared, that
they made several observations on the appearance of
the premises previously to entering ;—that they
wrenched a lock from a garden gate, and aftera ards
proceeded to the back windows ; and that they took
off one of the shutters in order to take out a window
to enable them to enter. Having entered, they pro.
ceeded towards the kitchen, in which Merry slept,
having previously struck a light by means of a steel
and flint. Parish entered it, but was very much sur-
prised to find that some one was sleeping in it, as they
had not calculated on any thing of the kind. Parish
then returned to Callaghan, and some consultation
was had as to the mode in which• they were to pro-
ceed. Callaghan desired Parish to go back and get
the servant's watch, saying, that he would find it un-
der the pillow. Parish accordingly went, and while
in the act of getting it, Merry stirred, and turned
round, saying at the same time, 66 Hist, cat I" sup-
posing that what he had felt was from the cat jump-
ing on the bed ; but Merry *as rather too much dis-
turbed for tke security of these midnight ruffians, and
lie began to rouse and make an alarm. Hearing this,
Callaghan called out to Parish, 66 Give it to him,
Ben!" meaning, fire at him, and' witness accordingly
fired, not liking to disobey what he was desired to do;
but instead of firiHg a the servant, then rising from
red, he fired behind him, so as to miss ! After this,
Merry-instantly made for the window, and began to
raise an alarm, and to call for help. At this moment
Callaghan rushed forward, and fired at Merry. This
fire, according to this witness, was the effective one.-
Merry fell without making any further noise, and
-care-ly uttering a groan. They then decamped
somewhat precipitately, taking with them but hale
booty, only some spoons, &c. and instead of leaving
the neighbourhood immediately, they bid for a stunt
time in some unfinished houses, in order so elude
search, if a cry should be immediately raised. They
next went to their lodgings—afterwards pawned what
they had stolen—and then went to Gravesend. In
ciassequence of what they saw in the newspapers,
they became very uneasy, and afterwards Parish made
j his extraordinary confessions.

From the evidence of others it appeared, that every
possible search had i,een made about the kitchen :n
which Merry was murdered, to discover the course
which the ball from P.lrish's pistol took, as he had
said-that it was not lie but Callaghan that fired the
fatal ball; but not the least trace of any ball could
be found I The ball which killed Merry WAS lodged
in his body.

Mr. Baron RICHARDS summed up the evidence
with preat care and ability. The crime with which
the' pi ismer stood charged was an enormous one, and
it called loudly for vengeance. 'The evidence which
had been adduced was of the fullest and strongest
character, although that of Parish was peculiar and
extraordinary. Where, however, his evidence was
borne out by that of other witnesses, he ought to be
believed, as if he were, what most assuredly he was
not, an honest and a pure man. • His case had been
supported by the clearest proof, so far as circuat-
stances went ; but as to the fact of the murder having
been committed by Callaghan, that depended entirely
1 on the belief which the Jury gave to Parish's evi-
dence. It certainly was not a little remarkable, if
Parish did really the his pistol Mind Merry—say
' against the wall—and not at him, that no trace of
that ball could be found any where about the kitchen;
and yet, though diligent search had been made, no
trace of it could be found. Parish said, that his fire
was purposely a useless fire; that a second pistol was
discharged by Callaghan, and that such fire was the
' death of Merry. Now the ball which caused the death
of Merry was found, it being lodged in the body;
but it was not a little surprising, and certainly it me-
rited the serious notice of the Jury, that no trace of
the ball, which Parish said be fired behind Merry,
could be found. These, however, were matters for
the consideration of the Jury. He had no doubt that
they would display the same circumspection and
judgment which he had found them to exercise
ttroughout the Assizes.

After a short consultation, the Jury returned a
verdict of Guilty.

Mr. Baron RICHARDS (the prisoner not having said
any thing as teihe sentence of death not being imme-
diately pronounced on him) then passed sentence, in
very effective language, enlarging on the enormity
and the peculiarly aggravated nature of the case.
The prisoner was ordered for execution on Saturday
morning, and advised to make the best use of
,the
little time that was left for...him in this world, as lie
had no reason to hbpe for further mercy in this stage
of his existence.

Callaghan is to be executed in the front of the
County Gaol, in Horsemonger-lane, Southwark.

MATRIMONY.

N 0 Disorders have contributed more essentially to
destroy Hymeneal Happiness than those which are the
consequence of unguarded pleasure. People of every la• k pay
adoration to the Shrine of Wedlock, but where the Constnifi a
has been tainttxl by Disease, ft renovation of stability is indispen-
sably requisite. Twenty years have we devoted our praciace to
the exclusive treatment of the fonowiug Disorders, and the suc-
cessful result of our plan gives us additional ardour to oilpose, as
far as we are able, the ravages.of those Complain' which are tie
most important in the catalogue of Human inlirlaitiet. Aittr
initiation into every branch, as Navy Surgeons, we formiel a wn:i,
at an early period of eractiee, to rescue individuals from the ig-
norance of uneducated men, or the eqtrally dangerous erticipitancy
of general Practitioners.
The Disorders to the cure of which we have devoted our at•
tention, compriet every specks of Venereal Infection; all kinds
of Debility, whether arising from the habits of sellout bees,
or the indulgencies of maturer age; that derangement of :he
System in Women, which is called barrenmes or Sterility;
Seminal Weaknesses, Gleets, Obstructions in the Urethra;
as alo Strictures, whether recent or of long duration, and
which have baffled the skill of other Practitioners, c.:e by
our present improved plan or tterraent effectually and periea-
nently cured, without the ',divot sutEring the excruciating p.m'
and alarming Hemorrhage which fn quently follows the plica-
time of the Lunar Caustic. In the course of our extensive eraetice
in this metropolis, uumerous cases of STRICTURES have been
and arc daily under our care, the total eradication of which is t!-
feeted by a sate, certain, and expeditious mode of cure superior
to any ether yet adopted. Tlw weakness, relaathion, and debi-
lity, proceeding front this coinoaiut are speedily rem:meal, and
the Patient restored to sound and vigorous health. But where
tl.e u. bility has for years caked, a proper perseverance its our
restocriVe remedies Is indispensably requisite, to revivethe "'m-
ist:mg sparks of life, and to r,•animate the constitution.
Ni mei-taus Diseases are the result of ignorance ur haste in tke
treatment of a simple Gonorrhea, and it not untrequ.intiy tear
rens that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indscretinif o: an
unguarded hour. By a superior method such complaints are
easily cured; and even where others have failed, we trust that
ve may presume to offer a raeLcal re-establishment. Few, hunt-
ever, are the cases of complicated distress in this disorder, com-
pared with the calamitous situation of men, whit, from an indul-
gence in a solitary vice, or the prevalent gaieties of a fa.bloaahle
life, acquit e that state of debility which is die ucavo dable conse-
quence of suck pernicious habits. Where the unhappy seem?
broods over his misery, but carefully conceals his mistortunes, it
may be some consolation for him to know, that although it Le as
object of doubt or uncertainty with other Practitioners, the re-
moval of these deficiencies ‘...y tbegraluslprosress of Renoe.ftion,
is the scquiretneut of our experience. If the tires art Bacchus or
Venus have boon to reduce nuttily vigour, much anxiety will
be I tevented by an early conet traction of this lauguid state, and
in these cases no great difficulty will occur.
Married Women, wlul I.;:ve long been disappointed in thei4
expectations of a family, may be assured, that in most instatice.,
such defects are cutahle by Meeltral
ITe secrecy which ia so essefaiat to our utidertnking, and the
