Such is the effect of perseverance and industry in
the science of Medicine, that great numbers, many of whom
had lingered under the most painful and obstinate disorders,
who were pronouncedincurable by respectable practioners, and
several discharged from Hospitals, have been restored to per:ect
health by the celebrated Dr. EADY,• who, after a long and la-
borious practice, is enabled to remove the most obstinate Vene-
real Complaints, however long and deeply fixed in tire- habit.—
Eruptions, Pains in the limbs, obstinate Gleets. Hinnies} of
Sight, Nodes on the shin-bones, Ulceration, and Sure Throats,
•are among the symptoms arising out of improper treatment, and
which without timely aseietance prove fatal The Doctor is

Gottzseratr..-,-/ Rene, who had been stopped in Grub-street
early on Wednesday morning, in company with a well-known
thief, whet escaped, by Harrison the Marshaimam, with two
bundles of horse-hair and blue cloth, was put to the bar, when
the owner of *be hackney-coach, N 0.1147, stated that he left
his coach in White Horse-yard, Fan-street, on Tuesday night,
and early next morning found the hntse-hair stuffing of the fret,
sides, and roof, and the blue cleth lining, cut out and taken
away ; the expense of repairing which would be 46; having only
three days before bad the inside of his coach done np after a si-
milar robbery, though the prisoner could not have got 10s. for
the materials stolen. The prisoner said a strange man gave him
the bundles to carry. He was. fully cnnunitted.
Won.swie-4zaxxv.--4. T. Feting was charged with assaulting
T. Lane, and robbing him of a gold watch. Mr. Lane, who is
a builder, residing in Holton, stated, that on Friday night, as
he was returning home, the prisoner rushed on him, when he
pulled his watch from his pocket. He laid hold of the prisoner,
who threw the watch on the ground; Mr. Lane, with the hope
of taking it up, let hint go, but befOre he could accomplish his
purpose a man in company with the prisoner seized• it and ran
away. Mr. Lane turned round Co pursue, when he ran at hiltwith all his might, intending to knock rn down, but Mr. L.
laid bold of him again, and never quitted him till he has received
at the watch-house. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was
going home, whoa be bead the cry of " Stop tidier and en
going up to 'melodist was the matter, he was seized hold of by
the Genthman.—He was fully committed. -
Unton-HALL..—A boy named Willians Brown was chvgtd
with having stabbed another boy named 'Matcher.— P.:inter,
the constable, of Bermondsey, stated. that as be was walking
along Bermondsey-wall, he saw Thatcher, apparently in great
pain, and found upon examining him that he bad received a stab
in the abdomen. Upon inquiry he found that the wounded boy
bad been quarrelling with the prisoner about a boat, and that he
had received the wound from him in consequence of having in-
sisted upon taking hold of it. The prisoner had assured Thatcher,
that Übe persisted in his object a knife should go into him. The
threat was not considered as serious, but Thatcher was mistakvn,
for immediately afterwards he received the stab.
Painter said he took the wounded boy to a surgeon, who ex-
amined the wound, and was of opinion that no danger was to.le
apprehended. The escape of Thatcher, however, was a very
narrow one, as the penknife with which the wound was infi.cted
had nearly penettatid the bowels.
The prisoner, who is no more than twelve years old, was re-
manded for, further examination.

MAILY.LA.BOINL Orricr.—An application was on Saturday
made to ions Rawlassos, Esq. the Magistrate, by Mr. !tosser,
a Solicitor, and another :Gentleman, respecting a Lady, who,
for a number of years past, had, by her insane acts, attracted ;be
attention of the residents of the Elgeware-road.
The applicants stated to the Magistrate, that for some time
past this Lady, who is in possession of some property, had re-
sided in a I ‘,..ahtsid house of her's, in John-street, Etigeware- road,
and from her singular conduct, was considered by all to !.e in-
sane; latterly the neighbourhood was kept in continual alarm,
by the maniac's wayward and turtralent actions ; she had an-
nounced her intention of burning the house, and some effort,
were made to-obtain an entrance. bnt it was found Impassible;
the doors and windows were strongly secured, and the promises .
were defended-by two fierce dogs, her only companions, which,
en any alarm; raised a dreadful outcry; she also had secured the
windows and doors of the rear of the house, which adjoins the
well-known stable, the memorable scene of the last effort of
Thistiewood and capture of his hand of conspirators. The poor
Lady, upon this subject, often harangued trona an upper win..
dow ; numerous Instances of her insane conduct were stated,
and an order was rrquestrd to convey her to a place of safrty, as
the neighbours all believed, from what they sound hear and see,
that the maniac was preparing to burn the house, and make, as
she once exultingly declared, the burning ruin her funeral pifts.
The Magistrate granted a warrant to place her in safety, and it
being made out was placed in the h'nds of Welans and Howell,
the officers, who burst into the !pause, and, having silenced
the dogs, made a search for the insane Lady, whom they per-
ceived posted at the head of the stairs awaiting their oast ; she
was armed with a large knife, which she brandished round her
head. She appeared a powerful robust woman, about 40 years
of age; her long and matted heir hung disordered about her
face, which was distorted by violent anger—so much so as td ex-
cite in the minds of the officers a doubt whether they were
gazing on a human being ; she called on them with a piercing
yell to come on at their peril, as she would hurl them into
eternity by blowing up the house. The officers, however,
steadily advanced towards her, and rushing on her, alter a
long and powerful struggle they succeeded in securing and
placing her in a hackney coach, and conveying her to the
Mary-la-Bonne Infirmary, where every accommodation was pro-
vided for and humane attention paid her by direction of the
Parochial Officers. The house was in a very filthy state, and
there was scarcely any furniture; holes had been dug in the
walls, &c. which were filled with combustible materials, and
brimstone, matches, straw, &c. all seemed ready for the despe-
rate act which was supposed to be in her contemplation.

Sostnot.ENcv.—A singular affection has been ob-
served in a mendicant, aged 79, •in the Infirmary of
Mentz. This man slept without waking eighty days.
When they sought to awaken him by violent ahaking,
he sometimes uttered an inarticulate sound, and would
swallow two or three spoonfuls of wine or broth, and
then relapse into his usual state. All stimulants we?c,
applied in vain, and on the eightieth day he expired.
MAD DODS.—A few days ago the daughter of Mr.
T. Wild, of the Rodney public-house, in Loxley, re.
ceived a severe bite from a strange dog, while pity-
ing on the road near her father's house. In a few
minutes after this lamentable event had taken place,
a person called at the above house.to,say, that there
was a dog of very singular appearance under a hay
stack in the immediate neighbourhood. Mr. Wird,
with a few others, hastened to the place, and as soon
as the dog saw them it made an attack on Mr. Wild ;
he shot, and afterwards broke his. !On upon it to
avoid its bite. The dog made. a second attack ba
another individual, but was repulsed 6y a large Stone
It then bit a fine pointer which was with them,
and made off. It was steadily pursuedapast

ley, and back to the Rodney, where, entering a small
shecrit was shot. Iry its way it was seen to bits u
great number of dogs and pip, 'together with'one
young man. The body of the animal has been
opened, and carefully esamined by' furgeptil and he
gives it as his decided opinion, that there were visible
signs of hydrophobia. We understand that the dog
went from Sheffield to the Owlerton toll-gate early in
the afternoon of the same day, where it bit several
do.'s and one child. On the same day ancther dog
was seen in Loaley, cif the madness of which little
doubt was entertained; but what direction it took
cannot now be ascertained. There may be Fu .lie
nuisances of various kinds, but it is doubtful wile- •
tber one more hateful or disgusting, than the number
of useless dogs now kept, can be found. Surely these
circumstances call-loudly on the inhabitants of Shef-
field (and every other town) to chain op, or cbsnoy
their dogs, that such dreadful evils malr be femovcd
