DISEASES OF DILE Ern.
. ,
The labours and researches of Medical Surgical
Operators have been for near a century directed to
that curious and delicate part of the human frame,
the Eye : at a later period, the Baron De Wenzel
has written upon the Cataract. The productions of
Mr. Ware, and also of the late Mr. Sanders, (as to
Surgical Operations) are duly appreciated, but it is
'reserved for Mr. and Mrs. WILLIAMS, the Oculists,
No. 3; Red Lion-square, to introduce a new, but
safe and easy method of curing the Intrigue Diseases of
the Eyes and Eyelids, without the danger of any Sur-
gical Operation, and we are of opinion, that such a
discovery is of infinite service to Society, and of na-
tional importance, as we know they receive Patients,
and send Medicines to any par: of the world. We
make these observations from having witnessed some
of the thousand: of curet they have happily effected,
the whole of which are attested by a cloud of wit-
nesses, comprehending the most distinguished charac-
ters in Great Britain'; yet if our readers wish ocular
proof, we refer them to the Royal General Dispensgry,,
93, High Holborn, at half-past four o'clock, when
they will meet from .50 to 300 patients; many of
whom were totally Iliad in one, or both eyes, from dui
day to many years, and of all ages, who are on& efow
eat of the great multitude, in different places
(The following is copied from the Bath Herald)
" The wisdom of the Caearosti‘b especially displayed in the
formation and structure of the Eye; no part of theasuman frame
exhibits such exquisite workmanship of the DLITT or is more 1
liable to so multifarious and afflicting disorders. The burning
sands of Egypt, and the pestilential effluvia of the Niteeeach con-
tributed to bring on our brave countrymen that diteful disorder
the OPHTHALMI A,vriso very unfortunately (not only iniyorted
it into this country, but) also introduced it among Ark bennec.
tions and friends. In all countries throughout-the *bed there
are disorders peculiar to the •eye, as Cataracts, Gutta-Fierenas,
Floating Spots, and Stationary Specks, &c. But the 19. k Century
has brought to light a Discovery interesting to Humanity, and of
the highest national Importance. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, No. 3,
Red-Lionssquare,London, have by an invaluable Remedy, and an
entirely new Mode of Treatment, restored multitudes to SIGHT,
who were absolutely BLiND—removed every debility of the Optic
Nerve, and every disorder of the Eye, and Eye-lids without any
Operation ! !"

ROBEEIty or THE GLASGOW BANK.—On Sunday
night last it was discovered that the office of the
Paisley Union Bank Company, Glasgow, had been
entered by means of false keys, and robbed of Scotch
Bank Notes, Bank of England Notes, and cash to
the amount of 820,003. Suspicion falling upon three
men, who for some days preceding had been seen in
Glasgow, Mt. Campbell, an officer of tl,e Police at
Edinburgh, and two of the Gentlemen belonging to
the Bank, set off in pursuit of the robbers, who, as
well as themselves, travelled in a post chaise and
four, and whom they traced to Darlington, and from
thence followed them, the London road, to Welling,
in Hertfordshire, where they had left a portmanteau,
to be forwarded to a person in Tottenham Coat..
road ; and then came on in a chaise and four to telt%
and were put down in Coventry-street, where an
trace of them was then lost; but Mr. Campbell'
making application at the Public Office, Bow-street,
Lavender, Vickery, and Adkins, three of the officers,
accompanied by Mr. Campbell, went to the houstein
Tottenham Court-road, where the portmanteau hail
been directed to, and where they found a box contain.
ing a number of pick-locks, skeleton-keys, and vari-
ous other implements for house-breaking, and which,
from being directed the same as the portmanteau, and
an inn-keeper's ticket also found there, the]. had no
doubt been very recently sent to town. The officers
learning that the owner of this house was at present
in the rules of the King's Bench prison, went the
,same night to his residence in the-neighbourhood of
St. George's Fields, where they apprehended a well-
known character of the name of Huft.n White, who, a
few months since, escaped from one of the hulks at
Woolwich. On searching the house, the mentioned
portmanteau was found that had been forwarded from
Welling, but which contained only wearing apparel.
Qs the person of White was found sixteen guineas
and some Bank of England notes. Yesterday, White,
and the man of the house where he was taken, were
examined before Mr. READ. at Bow-street, when Ad-
kins, the Governor of the House of 'Correction, Cold-
bath-fields, attended and identified the coo= of
White, as having been convicted at the last Summer
Assists at Chester, for being at laege',Wiiltin this
kingdom before his former sentence of transportation
was expired, and receiving a second sentence of trans-
portation for life. White admitted the tiOth of this
charge, though he denied any knowledge of the Glas-
gow Bank robbery. He and the other man were
committed for further examination.
A Seat in the neighbourhood of Oates, formerly the
property and residence of Lord Masham, and, at which
the Author of the Essay on the Human Understanding
ended his days, is said to be about to be purchased
by the celebrated Dr. WILLIAMS, the Essex Doctor ;
who, report states, intends, as a tribute of respect to
the memory of Mr. Locke, (one of the illustrious
sons of Galen) to erect a handsome Monument to
his memory, in the Church of High Laver, near
Chipping Ongar, Essex, in the obscure burial ground
of which the remains of this distinguished Philoso-
pher were deposited, in 1704.

An acknowledged sentiment by all, that every ani•
teal has its particnliar enemy. Man's greatest enemy
is worms, which even in infancy kill thousands, as
almost every parent can witness ; what family but
some have been afflicted with convulsions, fits, pains
in the stomach, head-ache, and in children hard belly,
pale countenance, offensive breath, itching at the
seat and nose. A hasty consumption often ensues
—to prevent, is better than cure. Those so afflicted
are recommended to use Dr. GARDNER'S Worm Me.

Acre ; and 3, Shoreditch. The Doctor consulted as
