POLICE, &t.

Bow-sramr.—On Saturday Jao4 Prentice and
William Porter, who were apprehended by Pearkes and
Salmon, a few days since, on suspicion of breaking
open, and robbing the house of Mr. Harrod, of We-
thersfield, near Haverhill, in Suffolk, were brought
up for re-examination before Mr. GRAHAM.
It appeared that the prcisecutor is a baker, and his
wife keeps a linon-draper's shop. On the night of
the Ist inst. the linen-draper's shop was broken open,
and a quantity of valuable goods stolen. The rob-
bery was soon discovered, and two men were seen
near the house with large bundles ; they were pur-
sued ; threw their bundles away, and made their
escape. From a description of the men, and upon
private information, the officers apprehended the pri-
soners. On searching them a number of pawnbrokers'
duplicates were found upon Prentice ; and among.;
them was one for two large pocket handkerchiefs%
pledged with Melton, the pawnbroker, Surrey side of
Westm:nster bridge, two days after the robbery.
Mrs. Harrod, the prosecutor's wife, attended, and
identified one of them to be part of the property
stolen, and the other the same pattern as some she
had for sale.

William Pawsey, a labouring man, of Wethers-
field,
attended, and proved seeing the prisoners at the
White 1-I.4se public house, Wethersfield, two days
previod to the robbery.
They were also seen by the landlord of the White
Horse public house, Wethersfield, the day previous
to the robbery. The prisoner, Prentice, is a very par-
ticular man to identify, as he has but one hand, On
searching him, a turn-skrew was found in his pocket.
Several other witnesses, who were necessary to at-
tend, were not present, and a question arose, as to
whether they should be brought from the coun-
try, or the prisoners should be taken into Suffolk to
be examined before a Magistrate, the expence eitker
way being a principal object. Tn case of the priso.
soners being taken into the country, there was no per,
son who would guarantee to pay the officers for their
attendance.

The prisoners were recommitted for further exami-
nation.

Robert Howe was charged by William Essex, cf
Martlet-court, Bow-street, currier, with having un-
dertaken a certain piece of work, viz. twenty dozen
of calf skins to curry, which he left unfinished, and
went to work with another master in the month of
August, a Mr. Webster, in Somerset-street, White-
chapel. Part of the skins have been finished by other
men—the rest are not finished yet, the prisoner hav-
ing never returned.
‘Mr. GRAHAM, and Mr. FonsrEns, the Sitting Ma-
,•
.-istrates, convicted hitn of the offence, and sentenced
hint to one month's imprisonment.
GUILDHALL.—Saturday, the Ilopman to T.Tes..rs.
.Jones and Co. grocers, in Fleet-street, pieferre a a
charge against a French gentleman, named Da Car•
lien, for attempting to take away some articles, wilieh
he had ord-r-d, without paying for.
The defendant could not speak a word of EngliNh,
but a friend stated, that lie had parchaL,ed the artiel?s
the preceding evening, and ofle:.ed a 4"2 note to
change ; but owing to some t!i•ptce it was returne,f,
and he quitted the shop. On the followin day, he
d:scovcred that the note which was returned hint was
lOr one pound ; be then went back, ordered the ar-
' tides, and attempted to make the shopmau sensible
of the rristakc ; but as the latter did not a word
of French, this proved ineffectual, and he was deter-
mined to keep possession of what he had got.
The Loan MAYOR elect conceiving that there was
a mistake in the business, dismissed the charge, but
ordered the articles to be res.ored.

HATToN G RDEN.—Saturday, Jadik Brady, Mary
Rsan, and Tft 71.77: 0 raV, were charged, at the in-
stance of Er: Exczse Office, with exposing fur sale
spirituous Equors, without being duly licenced, when
he two women were sentenced to two mouths impri-
sonment, anJ the man to three mouths.

• A baker, in Leather-Line, Holborn, was convicted
of selling bread short of weight, at the rite of 2s. 6d.
per ounce, amounting to 4:3 ss. and the bread sent to
the workhouse.

UNION HALL.—Saturd iy, two women were com-
mitted for trial, on a charge of stealing a quantity of
iinen trot a house in King•slreet, Southwark.
Four women of the town were sent to Bridewel•
for one month.

An accident happened yesterday in Wigmbre-
street, through the pole of a chaise, driven as a tan-
dem, suddenty breaking. The horses ran away, and
a gentleman in the chaise was thrown out and dan-
-I,reromly wounded in the head. He was conveyed
into the house of Mr. Leese, a surgeon, in the neigh.
bourhood. Another gentleman who was in the chaise
escaped unhurt. The horses were stopped in Tot-
tenham-court road.

A labouring man, while working at a threshing-
machine last week, at 'Fornham, St. Genevieve., was
so dreadfully crushed by its fall, that he died two
days after.

On Saturday a child named Cawdell, about nine
years old, being entrusted with the care of her sister,
aged twenty months, was carelessly walking on the
curb-stone, in Golden-lane, with the infant in her
arms, when her foot slipped, and they both fell tin-
der the wheel of a cart, which crushed the eldest in
so dreadful a manner that it died instantly; one of
the feet of the other was much cut and bruised, but
not dangerously. The mother of the children, who
was far advanced in pregnancy, on being infOrmed
of :the dreadful catastrophe, went into fits, which
brought on a premature labour; she is now in a state
of delirium, and her life is despaired of. A %roman
who resides at Deptford, and who was also pregnant
passing at the moment the accident happened, was
so much alarmed that she was immediately taken in
labour, and sent home in a coach by the pail' officers.
Siturday a plaisterer, while repairing the cirling
of a room in Skinner-street, Snow-hill, fell from the
top of a ladder, by which one of his legs was brok.n
A woman with a basket of fish, sustained a similar
accident, in consequence of being knocked down by
the carelessness of the driver of a market cart, in
Tooley-street, Borough. .
A few days since as Bish Davis, the London Car•
rier, was coming, down Ring-hill, at LcigN, near
Tunbridge, one of the horses knocked him down by
a kick in the stomach, when the wheel went ever
shim, and killed him cal the spot.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Education.
and Responsibility deviate from the General System b)
the selection of a particular branch, the sanction of long continua
success Is the best criterion of superority.
Fourteen years have we devu. cif uur practice to the exclusivt
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of our phi
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we are able, the ra.
wages uf those complaints which arc the most important in Ua
catalogue of hionan

After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplated
the sufferings of Siphylltic and debilitated Patients, and formed a
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of uneducated men
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of gi !feral practitioners.
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our atten•
tion, comprise every species of Venereal Infection, whether of
recent or lons duration: 9.c11y, All kinds of debility, whethe:
arising from the habits of school-boys, or the indulgenciea of ma-
ture age.—Numerous discloses are the result of ignorance, of
haste in the treatment of a simple Gonorrhea, and it not unfre.
quently happens, that the seeds of life arc poisoned by the India•
cretion of an unguarded hour.

By a superiorwmt.thod such complaints are easily cured ; and
even where others have failed, we trust that we may presume w
offer a radical re-establishment.

Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in this drs-
order, compared with the calamitous si,oations of men, who,
from an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties of
a taolinnable life, acquire that state of debility, whidi is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
,‘ ~,•fe the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but care•
ally cohccals his misfortune, it may be some consolation for him
ro know, that al: houi:-:i it be an object of doabt or uncertainty
wit It other practitioners, the removal of these deficiencies by tht
gradual progress of renovation is the acquirement of our experience.
It the ri:cs of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce manly
elver, much anxiety will be prevented by an early counteractiost
of this larguid state,and in those cases, no great difficulty will occur.
But where this dt fictency has for years existed, a proper per'e-
veranc e is indispensibly requieite to revive the slumbering sparks
of kfe, and to re-animate the constitution.
The secrecy which is so esstnt•al to our undertaking, and the
qualifications which we ;,resume to state, form the basis of out
pretensions, and in coincidence with such this intimation isgiven
that M. sews LEIGH and Co. may be constiltee. personally, or by
:r-ter, (inclining a Lank Note) at their house, No. t 9, Arundel-
oreet, Strand, near *1- emple bar. .
