icttd of sheep-stealing, but reprieved before the

An interesting cause was lately decided At the War-
viok Sessions. A young Surgeon who had married
.)tainst the consent of his friends, deserted his wife
nd
child. The wife, often in vain appealinK to the

At \Vest-end Fair, Out Saturday, a Lady, pressing

SWINDLING.—On Saturday the following dexterous
trick was played off on Westminster Bridge :—Mr.
Jameson, of Walcot.plac::, was pas,,ing along the
bridge, when he was accosted by a reverend looking
person, dressed its a Clergyman, who said he was
sudcthly taken ill, and rtrfaested permission to lean
on his arm for support across the bridge, or till he
met a coach. Mr.lameson,unsiispicious of any fraud,
immediately consciited,-and walked with the supposed
invalid till nearly opposite Astley's Theatre, when he
hailed an' empty coach, and Mr. Jameson fisisteel
him into it, and received his thanks :or the assistance
he had afforded him. The stranger at the same 011ie
gave him his ea:Li, en which was written, "The
Rev. Mr. Bowen, Trafalgar Place, Newington," and
requested the favour of a call from him when conve-
! nient. The coach drove off, and Mr. Jameson soon
discovered, to his astonishment, that during their
walk, the Reverend Mr. Bowen had contrived to ease
him of his watch, his purse, and his pocket hand-
kerchief. It is almost needless to say the address
was fictitious.
I Friday, as some brick-makers were examining a
brick-kiln at Somer's Town, they perceived, upon the
Sanimit, the corpse of a comrade. It is supposed he
had gone in the night to sleep on the kiln, and was
suffocated, and subsequently burnt almost to a cinder.
The wretched remains exhibited a mast hideous ap-
pearance. _ _ _

Saturday last a woman fell from a window two
stories high, in Hart-court,Drury-lane,down upon the
pavement, when, extraordinary as it may appear, after
lying,a few minutes, she got up, and seemed to have
sustained no uthtr iujury than merely being stunned
by the fall.
Tile value of DI. FREICifAX'S GUTTA SALLITAIIIS
has been so long proved, that nothing of the preient
day can bear a competition with it, in all the diffe-
rent stages of a certain disease, which it effectually
cores and eradicates from the habit, without exciting
the painful feelings and exposure that attends saliva-
tl,n—wk.:oft debilitating the constitutioiLin any de-
gree, or even reluirinF confinement from business or
restriction of diet. 'I he radical virtues of these ines-
timable Drops have proved their claim to publ c an-
pn.bation fur more than 33 years. lii all the debility
of both soles they prove a never-failing restorative—
wliatl.er the debility is produced by too free use M
mercury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm
climate• To travellers and „those going abroad, they
cannot be recommended too strongly, as they will re-
ceive a safe, speedy, and complete cure, in all olp
stubborn gleets, and every weakness that affects the
bladder and organs of urine. By its efficacy many
women have become mothers, who for many years
had been deprived of that happiness.—Sold wholesale
