CASE 11.
MASTER ROBERT MATTHEWS,. son of
Mr. Thomas Matthews, Vine-street, Saffron-hill, had been
afflicted with Rheumatic Gout from the age of five years to ele-
ven, in which time every remedy suggested both by Medical men
and others, was resorted to without braefit ; had been many
weeks in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, froth whence he was dis-
charged without the least amendment, being reduced to the use
'of crutches, and the muscles of the neck were so much injured,
that the head rested entirely on the :eft shoulder without the
power of holding it straight. In this miserable state he had been
dragging on an existence twelve months without any materiel
change. in the month of March, 1005, be was taken to Mr.
Guest, and the Guestonian Medicines were us. d about three quar-
ters of an hour, and on this first application was so relieved, that
he could move his head in almost any direction, and although
his mother with the greatest diffkulty got hint there, by fre-
quently carrying him, he walked all the way back without any
help. He continued the use of the Medicines about three weeks,
when he was quite well, and liastbnjoyed a good state of health
ever since.—Thomas Matthews, father to the above.

ADVICE.

W liEN Men of Education and professional skill
use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and
certain method of treating a few prevailing Diseases, the success-
ful result of • heir experience is the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and CO. Surgeons, have been induced to make
the cure of the following the object of their particular study, viz,
a certain Disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of Unsold-
cation, and ha concomitants, Strictures and Gleets. which, by
an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured; as also de.
bility, whether arising from bacchanalian indulgences, lung resi-
dence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often un-
happily pursued by the yorth of both s.xes, in the one causing
sterility or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of ner-
vous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, terminate in Im-
potence and Consumption. In that distressing state of debility or
defitiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or
arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the coned-
tution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of Lou.
I don, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound aid
vigorous health.
The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient is
the least restraint in diet or exercise • and In recent Cases,
where an early application is made OR discovery of the infection,
they frequently perform s cure in the short space of two days.
The unprecedented success of their niode of treatment (which
has never been known to fail In one single instance in a prac-
tice of 15 years, during which period many thousand persona
, of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and injurious
i methods had Leen pursued by other Practitioners without effect),
1 induces them to thus publicly offer their advice.
Messrs. GOiS and Co. exclusively professing the cure of these
1 particular complaints, in order that they may not be marked by
a mistaken few, with the obloquy so justly attached to the igno-
rant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they
have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of
the profession (certificates of which, from different hospitals, and
testimonials from the most eminent Physicians, they have to con-
vince any inquirer), that the success resulting from their endea-
vours first induced them to quit the practice of the general Pao.
Witmer, and they presume that their pretensions constitute a fair
ground the unprecedented confidence with which they have,
j by the public, been so liberally honoured.

PARLIAMENTARr PROCEEDINGS.

--- -
HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 6.
The Committee of privileges met pro firma, this day, when
the period for next proceeding with the cases before their Lord-
ships was taken into consideratioh. The result was, that It was
detertfilned that the Committee should proceed with the further
sonslderation of tlu: Berkeley case at an early hour to-morrow.—
The Marchioness of Salisbury,pursuant to an order of their Lord-
ships, attended the House. She was ushereddnto the body of the
House and sorted near the table, where the oath was administered
Sher Ladyship by the Lord Chancellor. A question or two was
then put, and answered by the Noble Marchioness.
The further consideration of the Banbury case was adjourned

tlito-morrow se'n rig ht.
The House then resumed, and after some routine business was
disposed of, the further consideration of the Roxburgh cause seas
resumed.
The Earl or LAUDER DALE delivered his sentiments upon
this long pending cause, as it now stood before their Lordships.
In the course of his speech the Noble Earl highly eulogised the
learning, talents. and virtues of the late Lord President, Blair ;
and concluded by moving a proposition, the effect of which was,
to remit hack the case to the further consideration of the Court
of Session, which his Lordship, opal' the whole, deemed the most
eligible mode of proceeding.
The LORD CHANCELLOR entertained a contrary opinion,
and nude a variety of observations upon the legal merits of the
ease. Hp deprecated all further delay, save what was indispen-
sably called for, and he feelingly urged their Lordships to consi-
der the interests of the parties who were so long before them.—
An interval longer than even that of the renowned Siege of Troy !
He concluded by expressing his dissent from the proposition of
the Noble Earl.
After a few words In explanation from the Earl of Lauderdale,
the question was put, and his Lordship's motion was negatived
without a division.
Qs the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the further
VlCOrpiexa; deferred titto-morrow, when be should sub-

The Irish and English Militia Interchange El% the Hides Duty,
the Horse Duty Regulation, the Verdigrease Duty, the Irish Mi-
litia Non-commissioned Officers, and a few other Bills, were
brought up from the Commons, by Mr. Lushington, and otbtr
Members, and severally read a first time.
On the motion of the Earl of LAUDERDALE,
the Order for summoning their Lordships, for the
consideration of the Irish Catholics' Petition, to.
morrow, was discharged, and a similar Order made
for Friday se'nnight.
The Customs Office Regulation Bill went through
a Committee of the whole House. The other Bills
upon the table were respectively forwarded.
VOTE OF CREDIT.
The Order of the Day for taking his Royal High-
' less the Prince Regent's message of yesterday, on this
subject being read,
The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, for the pur-
pose of moving a corresponding Address to his Royal
Highness on the occasion. He deemed it unnecessary
to occupy their Lordships' time, by offering any pre-
liminary observations, as under the known circum-
stances of the time, the expediency, the necessity, and
the policy of the measure proposed by the Message,
were too evident to be dwelt on. He should, there.
fore, reserve himself for any objection that might pos-
sibly be offered. He would, however, state the sum
proposed, or to be proposed in another place, as the
extent of the Vote of Credit, viz. three millions for
England, and two hundred thousand pounds for the
service of Ireland. He repeated that under such cir-
cumstances as the present, no rational objection could'
be made to the placing, for the purposes mentioned
in his Royal Highness's Message, at the disposal of
his Majesty's Government, the sum alluded to ; to be
expended by Ministers, on their responsibility, as the
exigencies of the case might require. His Lordship
then moved an Address corresponding with his Royal
Highness's Message, and assuring him of the ready
concurrence of their Lordships as desired. On the
question being put,
The Earl of SUFFOLK rose, not to oppose the
motion, but for the purpose of adverting to a very
important consideration connected with the subject.
He had always been of opinion, that it was only in
the Peninsula that the French were to be attacked
with any prospect of success. From the successes 1
hitherto, he was induced to hope the contest would
terminate in our favour. He wished, however, to be
informed by the Noble Secretary of State, whether it
was the intention of Government to adopt measures
for the embodying and duly disciplining a sufficient
number of the Spanish troops, without which the
French could not be resisted with success, or effectual
co-operation afforded. He deemed this a point of
the highest importance, under the present circum-
' I
stances, and a satisfactory answer on the subject
would relieve his mind from a great deal of anxiety.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that their
Lordships must feel the questihn to involve a point
of considerable delicacy. He could, however, answer
generally, that it was an object his Majesty's Govern-
ment had never lost sight of, and such steps as they
deemed expedient had been taken on the subject ; but
he could not speak more explicitly until such arrange-
ments should be completed as might be regularly laid
before Parliament. He would say thus much, both
with respect to the description of troops alluded to by
the Noble Earl, and of the Officers who commanded
them, that they were greatly advanced in point of
discipline and general improvement within the last
three months. And of this the occurrences at the late
glorious action at Albuera, had afforded manifest
proofs, by the gallantry, skill, and valour, displayed
by that portion of the allied forces : forming a most
ratkinal ground for confidence, that in due time these
troops would answer every possible expectation.
The question was again put, and the Address
voted nem. dis. It was ordered to be presented, as
usual, by the Lords, with white staves.
Strangers were then excluded while their Lord-
ships btiefly proceeded to the consideration of a case
- of Privilege respecting (we understand) some con-
duct of an individual to one of the Officers of the
House.—Pending the exclusion, tlieii Lordships Ad.

particularly, es pains had been taken,not certainly by
the Noble Lord, nor any of those connected with
him, to represent this at an act from which Ministers
wished to withdraw themselves ; he said it also -the
more particularly, as the Noble Lord had taken some
pains to prove the right of the House to visit upon
Ministers the consequences of any impropriety which
might appear in such re-appointment. He would
allow that any appointment, if wrong, or if, accord-.
ing to the expression of the Noble Lord, in the teeth
of a Resolution of Parliament, was open to be vis::ed
upon Ministers as Much as any other act in which the
Government was concerned. (Hear, hear.) He
would state to the House the grounds upon which
this appointment was made ; Gentlemen were already
aware, that the Gallant Officer who held the situa-
tion of. Commander in Chief since the resignation of
the Duke of York, was an Officer of tried and emi-
nent services. They were aware that he was now of
an advanced age, having served for upwards of half
a century in active military employment. (Hear,
hear.) In the course of the last winter, this veteran
Officer had signified to his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, that, consistent with his age and the
state of his health, he could no longer discharge
the duties of the important situation in which, he
had been placed. In consequence of t!;is communi-
cation, it was determined to accept his resignatien,
and the office becoming vacant by that meaps:the
question was, who should succeed him ? The House
must know, hat in the present situation of the coun-
try, and of the war, no delay coup be.permitted.—
The question then was, upon that principle, and With
what view, should the advice be given to his Royal '
Highness the Prince Regent ? He had no hesitation
to say, that upon every view, both he and those who
acted with him had no sort of doubt as to the propri-
ety of appointing the Duke of York. (Loud tries of
hear, hear.) When they recollected the tried ser-
vices of hi: Royal Highness in that situation ; when
they leeked to all the advantages that had resulted
from his judgment and decision, and looked not only
to him but te those who might offer themselves as
Candidates, they had no hesitation to prefer his
Royal Highness. Even the painful inquiry in which
they had been occupied, was sufficient to convince
the House that in administering the Affairs of the
Army, his Royal Highness had particularly distin-
guished himself. Independently of the steps which
he had taken for the comfort of the Officers and the
soldiers, his numerous regulations and arrangements
were directed to the best of ends, and many were
even levelled against those particular practices which
formed the object of that inquiry. (Hear, Hear.)
The impression upon their minds after considering
those matters was, that they could not justify them-
selves in withholding from the public the advantage
of that Noble Person's talents. (Hear, hear.) As
to the feeling which the Army had manifested (and
if ever there was a time in which those feelings might
be admitted to have an influence), it was the present,
he would not pretend to say, that the mere wish of
the army could justify any appointment ; but if it
a ppeared that their opinion was founded upon a
regard for eminent services, it became stronger, and
more worthy of attention. But the Noble Lord
conceived it was not open to his Royal Highness's
advisers. to look to the Duke of York uades any
circumstances. He seemed to conceive that the Reso-
lution of the House of Commons stood as a bar to his
appointment at this time, and if at this time, for ever ;
for, hi would ask, if it was a bar now, how far
was it to extend, and when would it cease to be so ?
But let Gentlemen see what the Resolutions were, and
how those conclusions could be drawn from them.—
In the first instance, his Royal Highness was acquitted
of all personal corruption. Again, he was acquitted
of all criminal connivance ; and, finding that the
House had vindicated his character in this respect, he
had thought proper to resign, but not, as the Noble
Lord had said, from a conviction that the opinion of
the House was in favour of his resignation. Whether
that was the opinion of the House or not, the Noble
Lord had no means of ascertaining. Some there
were who did avow it, but there were others who
wished to form the Resolution in such a manner as
should not make it necessary for him to retire. An
Honourable Friend of his had proposed a Resolution,
which in his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) opi-
nion must have produced that effect; but at the
same time it was to be observed, that his Honoura-
ble Friend did not think so himself, but on the con-
trary, expressed an opinion that it could not, and
stated it to be his object that it should not. From this
it appeared that it was not the sentiments of the Mover
himself ; and he thought it fair to conclude that it
might not be, and was not the sentiments of the House.
It should also be remembered, that there was excited
in the House, and in the country, a spirit Which led
him to think it a duty to his Royal Father; notto em-
barrass his Government by resisting it. He, would,
in imitation rather of the profession than of the prac-
tice of the Noble Lord, look to the remit of'thei.

quiry, instead of looking to its progress, and iliViren
from attending to those circumstapces and partitellars
which had ince -been brought to light ; but to ;this
extent he thdught he might, without impropriety, refer
to them to say, that'if the House had been acquainted
with the nature of the conspiracy—(Hear, hear,) and
with all the arts which were used to represent.that
conspiracy, as an impartial and patriotic inquiry—
(Hear, hear,) he would not say that the disposition of
some would not he what it was, but he could ask
whether such a feeling would have existed to the same
extent ?—( Near, hear.) If, then, it was from the
feeling he retired, and thateircumstances had since oc-
curred to alter the nature 'and character of that feeling,
was it not rational to conclude, that the obstrnction
was removed f One Resolution was for acquittal ;
etother stated, that in cobsequence of his resignation
.t was not necessary to proceed any further. He even
recollected that an objection was made to the word new,
as originally introduced, upon the ground that itwould
pledge the House to take up the business hereafter.
It was the opinion of every one that something farther
would have been necessary besides acquittal, if
the resignation had not taken place. He recollected
that he himself had expressly stated his opinion upon
the subject ; but all those objects were at an end after
the resignation of his Royal Highness. The Noble
Lord now told them, that notwithstanding the lapse
of two years, the Resolution stood in their way ; but
if that were-the case, there never was an opinion more
unfairly stated, nor a question more uncandidly dis-
eased. If such were the intention of the House, would

Mr. W. SMITH thought that the re-appointment
was inconsistent with the Resolutions on the Jour-

Mr. CANNING opposed the motion of the Nate
Lord on these three distinct grounds—First, That the
Duke of York was is eligible as any of his Majesty's
subjects to the high situation which he was appointed
to fill : Secondly, That his, Royal Highness was pe-

the House of Commons had in no way whatever re-
corded their opinion that his Royal Highness ought
to remain excluded from office. _ _

Mr. WARDLE felt himself called ,on to make
some answer to the allusions that had been made to
him, though he had otherwise no intention of offering
himself to the House. In the trial alluded to he sta-
ted that the Noble and Learned Judge (Lord Ellen-
borough) had admitted of allusion to the proceedings
of that House, as in his charge to the Jury he him-
self had referred to them; but when Mr. Ceibbett on
his trial made similar allusions, he was checked by the
Learned Judge (some murmur:, antics call for the question)
and was told that such a practice would not be to-
lerated. He only meant to say a few words, and re-
lied on the candour of the House.— (Hear, hear.)
Much had been said of having witnesses in pay, but it
was well known that Mrs. Clarke had a pepsion of
8400 a year, and it was foi those who brought her
forward to say on what ground this pension was given
her. He referred to some expressions made use of
by Mr. Alley in a public company in the City, re-
specting his attorney, Mr. Stokes (some murmurs) and
contended, that Wright had admitted the charge of
perjury against him, by relinquishing the prosecution
against a Newspaper, and paying the costs, though
that paper over and over again repeated the charge.
Lord MILTON replied in a few words to the ge-
neral arguments that had been offered against his mo-
tion.—The question being now loudly called for, the
Gallery was cleared and the House divided—For the
motion 47—Against it 296—Majority against the
motion 249.

troops have been withdrawn, and frern the mouths
of the Elbe and Weser, nearly all of them, to proceed
in the direction of Prussia and Poland, where a very
large French force is collecting. It is conjectured
that NAPOLEON will force ALEXANDER into a war ;
and that the intention of the former is to penetrate
by Grodno and Wilna to Riga. The Russians are
not unprepared in that quarter, having upwards of
150,000 men accumulated in the neighbourhood.

and the defendant was also a gentlentin holding the rank of Ma-
ier in the army. The plaintiff in the year 1 ses, married his
present wife in Ireland; she was a woman of great beauty and
accomplishments, and nearly allied to a Noble family in that
kingdom. He returned with her into this country, and lived
with her on terms of the greatest harmony and affection, until
ber affections were seduced by the present defendant. It would
appear that the defendant and Mrs. Staple were first suspected of
a criminal intercourse at Harrowgate, and as he afterwards vi-
%bed the family, the servants were induced to watch their con-
duct. It was in Ike early part of the year 18 in, that the plaintiff
and his wife went to live at a cottage in Old Windsor; and it
would appear, that from that time the lady had declined any ma-
trimonial intercourse with her husband, and had insisted on as-
trig separate beds assigning as a reason a coldness of constitution,
mid a repugnance to any such communication. Whilst in London
she had contrived that the defendant should be introduced to the
plaintiff, when an acquaintance commenced, and he received an
limitation to visit them at Old Windsor. He visited them fre-
furnity, and the suspicion which had arisen in the mind of Mrs
`•, I
ereises maid, whilst with her mistress at Harrewgate, received
t
ltreagth from what she now observed. Mrs. Verelst had chan.
fed her room, where she originally slept, for one adjoining that
appropriated to the Major, whilst at the cottage ; and on the
10th of October last, the Major being then at the cottage, the
maid. accompanied by another of the female servants,determired
to pay particular attention to what passed; and, for that purpose,
- after the family had retired to rest, they placed themselves in the
drawing-room over which were the sleeping •rooms of Mrs. V.
and the defendant; and bad not waited long, before they beard
the Major's door open, and he went into Mrs. Verelst's room,
where he continued about ten minutes, and then returned to his
own bed. They however, said nothing of hat they had
covered; but on, the Bth of December following, the defendant
again came to the cottage. The plaintiff was ab sentrs. ; he, how-
ever, -
stopt and slept there ; and the two women, Mrs. e,
and Dolly Bates, again determined to watch them, and for this
purpose they concealed themselves, after Mrs. V. and the defen-
dant bad retired to their respective rooms, in a spare bed-room,
the door of which was directly opposite those of Mite. V. and the
defendant. They had not continued long in that situation, before
they observed Mrs. V.'s door open, and she went into the Ma-
jor's room, shut the door after her, and locked herself in; here
she continued till five o'clock on the following morning, when
the women, who continued on the watch during that time, heard
her retire to her own room. The appearance of the lady's appa-
rel nett morning, and other circumstances, were such as left no
Wm to doubt due fact of the adultery having been committed.
These circumstances were fully proved in evidence.
Mr. Serjeant BUT, for the defendant, called no evidence in
• asatradiction ;he stated, however, that the defendant was a gen-
tleman of small fortune, tied submitted to the Jury that this was
sot a ease of that aggravated nature which some were ; here was
ao breach of sacred friendship,theredidnot appear to be any part'.
solar intimacy between the defendant and plaintiff; it was a mere
acquaintance of a few months standing; he stionki, however, leave
his client with perfect confidence in the hands of the Jury ; and
whatever was their decision it would, he had no doubt, be such
as would satisfy the ends of justice. The Jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages X 2004).
CRIM. CON.—PITT V. HUNT.
This was also an action to recover damages for Criminal Con-
• venation with the plaintiff's wife.
Lord ELLIIIII3OaCIUGE observed, that the seduction here wa►
clearly on the part of the woman ; and though the unfortseate
husband was entitled to a verdict, he could not elk damages for
the loss of such a profligate wife. Verdict for plaintiff-40s.

BOXING.

The match for 190 guineas, and a subscription purse of SO, be-
tween Young Belcher and Silverthorne, took, place yesterday, on
Crawley Heath, near Copthorne. The ring was first formed at
Copthorne, but here some Refines placed their waggoas contrary
to orders, and all thaflash rhdoric of Gibbons could not prevail on
ahem to move, for the sturdy rogues swore they were par.shioners,
end as good and as great as any gentleman in the land; and, to
elude them, he moved his ring to the place above stated. Betting
was S to 1 ;
an eleher ; and the seconds were Gully and Jones,
for Belcher; d Gibbons and Caleb Baldwin for the Wesunin-
*ter Champion.
THE BATTLE.
Rend 1. Silverthorne made play by attempting a stomacher
et his adversary, which was well stopped, and repaid right and
left on the mouth and temple, which produced an effusion of
blood. The combatants disengaged, and Silverthorne hit short
at the body, and was hit down. No man was ever more milled
in one round.-4 to lon Belcher.
3..Silverthorne, with timidity, arising no doubt from punish-
/tient in the first round, kept away from his adversary; but on
retreating to the extremity of the ring, Belcher made play right
and left, which told on the head. Silverthorne planted a slight
blow at ill-judged distance on his adversary's throat, without
effeet, and be again was stopped, when Belcher patted his arm in
defiance, and Silverthorne planted a good body blow, and he was
repaid by a borer.
S. Silverthorne bled like a sheep at the hands of an men.
tioner, and Belcher's fists were perfectly crimsonecl. A slight rally
took place, in which Silverthorne was punished, but Belcher
threw away blows, and Silverthorne made two good stops. Bel-
cher missed a hit and closed, when Silverthorne threw him, but
he was much weakened by loss of blood.
4. Silverthorne made a hit at the body, which was half stop-
ped, and a smart rally took place, in the former part of which
Belcher was evidently weakened, and his adversary bad none the
worst of it ; but Belcher is always a strong hitter, and after put-
ting in a blow, clesng took place, and Silverthorne receive a
Bross buttock, to use a technical phrase, enough to burst him.d
s. Both evidently weak, but Belcher hit his adversary twice
in the face with' his right band, which added considerably to the
effusion of claret. An irregular rally took place, and Silverthorne
fell. Any odds, but no takers.
6. Belcher made a good right-handed hit at the head, which
was well ped, and he planted a tremendous right-handed
body-blow stop
, which did not Immediately tell, but Silverthorne fell
in attempting to hit.
7. Silverthorne. in a most distressed state, appeared anxious
to get a hit, but Bekher waited on him car: fully until he rallied,
and when staggering with failure of strength, Belcher bit him a
violent blow in the throat, with which he went down withbeat
re-
doubled force, and never appeared again ;
he was, however,
by not appearing in time, for, on his Second's attempting to help
him of the bole.liolder's knee, he fell prostrate,and was carried
to a post chaistte. Belcher threw a sotnerset on winnitlg, and rode
to London on the box of a Gentleman's Ivrouche ; but different
was the situation of the loser, who was assisted to bed. The battle
lasted 19 minutes.
