EXCHANGE of PRISOMERS 414tA AMERICA

The National inteffigeneer of May 16, says, "We have
the pleasure to state, that effectual measures are in
progress for the relief of our unfortunate countrymen
in captivity. A cartel, by which a system for the pro.
per treatment, release, and exchange of prisoners, has
been fixed, was signed some days since, between Ge-
neral Mason, Commissary•Generai of Prisoners, on
the part of the United Spates, and Colonel Barclay,
General Agent for Prisoners, qn Abe port of Great
Britain. By this, among other things, it is stipulated,
that two cartel vessels, of the lsgsben of 509 tons to-
gether, shall be constantly kept by ear.b GoVernrnent
in the service of removing, prisoners of,the two pa.
Mons, to be released on account or exchanged. Oa
ot:. part, the two vessels have been already purchas-
ed, fitted and dispatched. to bring home our priso-
ners suffering in the West Indies. The United States
cartel Analostan, Captain Smith! left this place for
Jamaica on the 2d inst. to touch in Hamptolikoads,
and take off British prisoners ; and on the .13th inst.
the United States cartel ship Perseverance, Captain
Pill, sailed trom Philadelphia for Barbadoes, to
touch at New Yolk to take in British prisoners in
like manner. Both vessels are to return with Ame-
rican prisoners to Providence, in Rhode Island, one
of the stations agreed on for the exchange of priso-
ners of war."

IsuitzErzas.—The allowance to Innkeepers and
others, for diet furnished to ibldiers on a march, has
been increased from Bd. to Is. 2d. per day. For this
the Innkeeper is to provide one meal only, viz. a hot
dinner, if required, to consist of one pound and a
quarter of meat (previous to being dressed), one
pound of bread, one pound of potatoes or other vege-
tables (previous to being cooked), two pints of small
beer, and vinegar, salt, and pepper.
TURNPIKR TOLLS.—An Act has passed the Legis-
lature this Session, repealing certain provisions of an
Act of last Session, by which waggons and carts laden
with manure, were rendered liable to regulations of
Weights, and payment of tolls, in, case of the empty'
waggons going and not returning within the twenty-
four hours. This was found injurious to agriculture,
as lime and dung will vary in weight so much as tc
render it almost incalculable, and the distances tra-
velled for lime are such as in many cases to make a
return in twenty-four hours impracticable. These
provisions of the Act of last Session have been accord-
ingly repealed.
It appears, from the Population Returns of 1811,
that the annual mortality of the county of Somerset
is one in every 52 ; in Devon, one in 58 • in Corn-
wall, one in 62; in Dorset, one in 57; in Hampshire,
one in 49 ; in Wilt;hire, one in 51.; in Gloucester.
shire, one in 61 ; in Berkshire, one in 53; in Oxford-
shire, one in 55. In Middlesex, it appears that a
much greater proportion die than in any other county,
the annual mortality being one in 36; whilst in Car-
diganshire the deaths are one in 78, which is less than
any other county. Taking all England together, one
in 49 dies annually, and in Wales, one in 606

.Friday afternoon, between ode and two o'clock, the
cit) of Glasgow was visited by a heavy shower of
rain, accompanied by tremendous peals of thunder.
The streets, during the shower, were rendered almost
impassable ; and not an individual was to be seen on
the Trongatc, one of the most populous streets iu that
city. The lightning broke on a house in Bridgeton,
and kindled some bed-cuttains. In Crown-street,
Hutchesontown, it struck a house; in the upper floor
several panes of a window were broken, some clothes
which were drying near the fire-place were burnt to
ashes, a stool two yards from the fire-place burnt like
a piece of charcoal ; several of the nails in the door
appear as if they had been recently burnt, and some
of their heads as if melted ; the upper hinge of the
door wa; torn off, and a piece of the wood about two
inches by 12, thrown to a distance ; the door and a
part of the floor are singed in several places; in the
ground-floor, several holes were perforated in a tea-
cannister, and in a snuff cannister on the chimney-
piece. The woman who occupies the second floor
received a smart blow on the back other neck, and
on looking round, discovered her house in flames,
when she alarmed her neighbours; by their timely
assistance they were soon got under. A gentleman's
house at the bead of the Green, and another in Virgi-
nia-street, were also struck by lightning ; in the for-
mer, the curtains and roof of a bed were set on fire
and burnt to ashes, and part of the parr of a room
torn off; the bell wires in both were broken ; and, at
the latter, there is a yellowish strain on tfil wall, se-
veral inches broad, from near the roof to the ground,
and the wall a little rent.

During one of the late thunder-storms, a large ash
tree, at Barrochan, Renfro % shirt, was struck by light-
ning, the bark torn oil, theoee split to the around ;
a hut in the wood also sutra and shivered, in which
a woman, employed in barking trees, was sitting, who
had one side of her cap burnt, and the other singed.
A distressing circumstance lately happened to a
little boy, about tour years old, son of Mr. Vincent,
Canterbury : whilst at play, with a stick in his hand,
he accidentally fell down, and the stick entered the
corner of the eye, and forced it from the socket. The
little sufferer lingered in the greatest agony a few
days, when it expired.
On the ‘.:2.1 instant, as five men, and a youth, the
son of one of them, were netting in the Trent, be-
tween Wilford ferry-boat and the bridge, Mr. J.
Birtics, warehouseman at Mr. Kewney's, and J. Hall,
dyer, got out of their depth ; when the former lost
his litc, and it was with much difficulty that Hall
escaped.
The most serious mischief was lately prevented by
the fortunate discovery of a plan, by which four of
the boys belonging to the extensive iron-works of
Messrs. Join' Baam.av and Co. in the neighbourhood
of Stourbridge, intepded to procure themselves a
holyday. It appeared by the confession of two of
the boys, that four of them had agreed for that pur-
pose to stop the.works; and, in order to do this, they
took out the cotter belonging to the air-pnutp rod,
and put a brick, &c. into the cold water?-pump, as
well as billets of iron into the teeth of the pinion-
wheel, the cutter, and spur-wheel. It was happily
discoured early an Monday morning, before the
men began to work. Had their plan succeeded, be-
sides the probable loss of human lives, it is appre-
hended the damage would have amounted to. at least
two or three thousand pounds, as well as deprived a
number of men and boys of work foe two or three
,mouths. Two of the boys ;wok' custOdy.

'All result of their experience Is the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Ssorgeons, have been induced to mike
the cure of the following the object of their particular study, viz:
a certain Disordir, frequently contracted to a moment of intoxi-
cation, and its concomitants, Strictures and Gleet% ;which, by
an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured; as also do:

vigoro..s health.
• Messrs. Goss and Co. exclusively professing the cure of these
particular complaints, in order that they may not bes by
mistaken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to
the ignorant empiric, think it hut justice to themselves to mate
that they have been properly educated and initiated into every
branch of the profession (certificates of which, from differ.=
Hospitals, and testimonials from the most eminent Physician%
they have to convince any inquirer) that the success magnet
from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of
the zet.eral Practitioner, mid they presume that their pretensions
constitute a lair ground for the unprecedented confidence with
which they have, by the Public, been so libgrally honoured.
The result of a long eel extensive practice has enabled thew,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, howerer
inveterate or coe.plicated, without subjecting the patient to the
least restraint In diet or exercise; and in recent Cases where an
early application is made on discovery of the Internet', they fer
quently perform a cure in the short spa= of two days. The no.-
precedented success of their mode of treatment (which has emir
