DUBLIN.

Precisely in one itour afterlitm and Wit le!l
from the drop at Newgate. thy were exhibited to the ctn.,. and o
numerous other scientific peicons, aninuntiog to upwarda of t.iur
hundred, at the Royal College of Surgeons, Steptwit.,-gr.,•l),
and were immediately submitted to the influence a galvAt.c
battery, with a view of confirming experiments already made. '.m
of eliciting others. The first great object was to ascreLtiii
whether respiration could be induced, as assert.•d by a modem
writer; but, after repeated efforts with this view, the re,t. It
was the reverse of that previously before the public. The
muscular system was literally convulsed in all its department,
wherever the battery was directed, and, although the rolling of the
ere and the workings of the head and face may have been fright-
ful to the common observer, yet they were truly interesting to the
scientific inquirer. The application of the galvanic influence to
the eye produced a very curious effect, causing great dilat.ition o;
the pupil. Doctor Jacob, by a rapid dissection of the ey‘s,
was enabled to show tbeforonsen of Soenimering in a most
factory manner, both internally and externally. This point of
anatomy has been doubted by some, and denied altogether by
others, but we had, on Saturday, ocular demonstration of its
existence. The experiments were conducted by Doctors Apjohu,
Jacob, '.lr. Harrison, and several other professors and member,
of the College.

A learned Pundit of the English provincial r as La.

—Frees Me Olio. .
The robberies in the suburbs of the in:Aropolis have
lately assumed a character of peculiar audacity, and the
following are instances of the daring manner in which la-
dies of respectability arc plundered during the middle of
the day:--On Monday morning a lady named Go!donut It,
residing at Herne Hill, was proceeding along the road
leading to Dulwich, attended by the knioe menthe), of
her family, when she was accosted by a ruffianly-looking
young fellow, on reaching Motgan's Road, who com-
manded her to deliver all her valuables she then
had about her. Mrs. Goldsmith was too much
alarmed to make any reply; and on the young
ladies surrounding her beginning to scream, the villain
produced a knife, with which he sepatated Mrs.
Goldsmith's reticule from the strings, and then
ran off, in the direction of Norwood, with his booty,
which consisted of a lady's gold watch, some silver,
and other articles. The screams of the young ladies at-
tracted the attention of the gardener to Mr. Lett, a t-
rey Magistrate, who resides in the neighbourhood, and he
immediately proceeded to their assistance, and caught a
hasty view of the robber, who was retreating into the
woods, and, having obtained the aid of his fellowservants,
the ruffian was pursued as far as the Jolly Sailor, public
house, at. Norwood, where they lost all traces of him.
Another outrage, of similar audacity to the above, oc-
curred about a fortnight ago at Hernf-hill, where a lady
residing in that vicinity was driving her pony-phaeton
along the high road, when a ruffian stopped tba vehicle,
and forcibly plundered her of a trunk., in which were
several valuables, and a purse containing four or fiver
sovereigns.
