CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

- -
Qrinnsoutrawt.—Saturday, Joseph Waters, driver of the Hero,
Woolwich stage-coach, was brought upon a warrant to answer a
charge of barbarously and wantonly ill-using and cruelly treating
a horse, on the information of R. Martin, Esq. M.P. for Galway.
Mr. Martin having been sworn, said he never saw a more
atrocious outrage upon an animal in all his life. Ile followed
the coach closely from the foot of Westrniuster Bridge nearly to •
Charing-Cross, and saw the defendant most barbarously and
cruelly whipping the near-side leader all the way. It was a most
wanton act as ever was committed, for the animal was perfectly
free; so much so, that it was ready to leap out of the harness at
every stroke of the whip.
The defendant said the horse in question was ready to run
away with him. Ile could scarcely hold him ie. Ile had the
greatest difficulty in clearing the post at the corner of Parliament-
street, w as to clear a cart that was passing at the same time;
and it was necessary to whip the animal to keep it up to its work.
Mr. Martin.—" I never saw a horse behave better, so help
me Gen!"
The Magistrates (Mr. Batsman and Mr. Maam.AND) pro-
nounced a conviction in the mitigated penalty of 20s.
The defendant said he hoped they would allow Min time to
produce two or three Gentlemen, who were on the coach at :he
time, as witnesses to prove that he had not treated the animal
with unnecessary severity, having only touched him with the
whip in the ordinary way two er three times.
Mr. Martin.—" By my cash, he stood up, and most delibe-
rately and wantonly flogged the animal all the time, leaning over
to apply the lash tothe tenderest parts of its body. (Turning to the
defendant)—Oh! I never saw a whip more dexterously handled
in the whole course of my life. I know a little about driving
myself. Those parts of the body that you touched, are as tender
as any part of your neck."
The defendant said, that he would produce two or three re-
spectable witnesses to prove that be only applied the whip two
or three times.
Mr. Martin assented to the withdrawing of the present con-
viction, in order to afford him the opportunity of bringing those
persons forward; but he hoped that if, after hearing them, the
Magistrates should be of opinion that he had failed in his defence,
they would consider it such an aggravation of the case as to call
for a conviction in the full penalty.
The conviction was therefore withdrawn, and a fresh informa-
tion made out, which was ordered to be heard on Monday.
Gen.noaLi.—Juseph Alim was charged with riding a horse in
a very furious manner through Smithfield market, and the ave-
nues leading to it, so as to endanger the lives of the passengers,
and was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 40s.—A second
charge was preferred against him by a Mr. Kirshner, whose at•
tendon was attracted by the barbarous manner in which the
prisoner was using both his whip and spurs. The animal's sides
ware so lacerated by the violence with which he spurred him,
that the fellow's stockings were literally dyed for au inch or two
with blood ; and on examining the horse at the Green-yard,
pieces of flesh, upwards of an inch in length, were actually torn
by the spars from its sides. The charge was fully supported by
witnesses, and Alderman Cox further convicted the prisoner in
the penalty of £os. in default of which he was committed to the
House of Correction for one month. The owner of the horse
paid the first fine to get the animal out of the Green-yard.

Bow-writs:sr.—A. de Seize was charged with a fraud. Mr. Tull,
a farmer, of Nettlebridge, in Yorkshire, stated, that on his re-
turn home on Friday, he found the prisoner stating a melancholy
tale to his wife, that a considerable quantity of goods had been
srized from him by an Officer, in consequence of his not having
a Hawker's License, which he must inevitably lose, unless he
could raise 201. to pay the penalty, and earnestly soliciting she
would purchase the articles he had remaining for that sum, viz.
several silk shawls, a musical snuffbox, and a gold watch. Mr.
Tull, on hearing the story, refused to purchase the articles; but I
offered from charity to advance the requisite sum on security of
the goods, and Moses most gratefully accepted the offer. Soon
after his departure, however, Mr. Toll found that thega/d watch
was not worth 11. and the other articles of proportionate value.
' Mr. Tull, therefore, lost no time in pursuing Moses, and over-
took him at Hounslow, when a regular License was found upon
him.—Sevcral of the prisoner's tribe attended, who contended
that the money could only be 'recovered by civil action.
Missnutti however, was of a different opinion; but as
Mr. Tull was only urgent to get his money back, the Magiltrate
said he could have nothing to do with that: he must either per-
sist in Ms charge or withdraw it.
The parties, however, were permitted to retire, and it was
ultimately agreed that Mr. Tull should be repaid his 201. and
receive half his expenses, which he was advised was the most
prudent course to adopt.
De Solar, who is a Dutch Jew, was singing Dutch songs in
the passage of the Office while the negotiation was going .for-
ward, and seemed much to applaud hit own " fair ingenuity."
He is a young man, of sallow complexion, shrewd countenance,
and wears ear-rings. His costume was that of a respectable sea-
faring man, such as is usually supposed to betoken a smuggler.
He was not known at the Officerand generally confined his spe-
culations to the country. He speaks English very imperfectly..
Mr. Taylor, a bottle-merchant, in Old Swan-lane, was charged
with assaulting A. D'Assig, Esq. The complainant, on Thurs-
day evening, was passing with a friend near Charing-cross. when
the defendant shoved violently against him, and on remonstrating
with the defendant, he put himself in a fighting attitude, and
struck the oomplainant a violent blow on the jaw, nor was it
till he had reached Davis's Amphitheatre that he could by pre-
vailed on to give his card.--He was ordere d to find bail. '
Lassaarn-aramr.—The Proprietor of Miller's Wharf, Lower
East Smithfield, was fined in the mitigated penalty of 40s. for
refusing to send his cart to remove the baggage of the Military
from the Tower.

ExEcutioNs.—Saturday, were executed on a new
drop in front of the jail at Horsham, H. Durrant and
J. Tilley, who were tried at the last Lewes Assizes,
the former for assaulting Mary Austen, a widow wo-
man, on the King's highway, on the 7th of June, and
stealing from her sonic grocery, and a pair of half-
boots, with which the pocr woman was returning
from Ticehurst (where she had purchased them) to
1 her home at Swiftsden ; and the latter for a burglary
1 in the dwelling-house of Elizabeth Watson, an elderly

THE CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD telieres
those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence of their
passions, have injured their constitutions, or are affected with
any of those previous symptoms that betray the Lpproach of
formidable debilities, as the various affections of the nervous
system, irregularity or obstruction of certain evacuations,
Abu the valetudinarian by birth, who has received the inhe-
ritance of a diseased and improlitic frame ; the delicate lema::,
in whom an immured and inactive life, with the immoderate tae
of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has brought on tha
calamitous symptoms of a nervous habit ; and the man of btvi.
ness, whose body and mind have been overstrained by anxiety ;
to such as these, the Cordial Balm of Gilead affords the toot:
satisfactory relief, and contributes to restore them to the enjoy-
ment of all the comforts of lite.

Thy house, and (iT the cup of life,
That honey-drop; thy pleasing wife.
-SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en•
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their Wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded;
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the do.
dderatum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with happiness
on earth, but disposing she soul itself to harmonize with bliss
hereafter.

-----
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligaticr,
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passie:.i,
but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities whiff
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it.
To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of thee
hapless instances, which, while they excite the cezmniserail:a
of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-
reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminine the body—a residence in ,be
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, front whence the alio-
nized sufferer more than doubts the chance of teller. To all
such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy--mus-
cular strength—felicity ; nor will our adiances appear question-
able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty
years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial
wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—
yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into
functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every re-
laxation of the generative economy, we pledge cur ability to
cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expeithe
unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptuously taken
up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation; and
confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the
College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either
sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to
our house, where daily attendance is given for rasonal con-
sultation; and letters from the country are immediately an-
swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and
tine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, hew.
ever distant. GOSS and Co. M. R. C. Surgeons, No. 7,
