WHEN Science began to explore the complicated
"V machinery of Man, she was speedily entangled
in * labyrien of mysterlons confusion, from which intel-
lectual perseverance alone emancipated her. Ignorance and
empiricism, hiwever, still oppose their venomous hostili-
ty, and the prejudice of weak minds, in some measure, en-
courages their audacity. As Truth is to Falsehood—so may
our public statements be compared with their unqualified
pretensions, and to expose their fallacies, we have not
hesitated to avow ourselves as practitioners in a class of
Diseases which endanger the mystic evolutions of Nature.
To be "_,ief; we are Members of the London College of
Surgeons, can establish the integrity of our Character upon
the success of Twenty Years' practical experience, and an-
nounce the grateful testimony of those in whom long suf-
fering had nearly extinguished every hope of relief.
We pledge otirselvis to the removal of Syphilis, front Its
incipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterized
by every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate
and much neglected diseases of the Urethra have been care-
fully and studiously considered, as have also those delicate
and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex.
The infirmities of virility hive been especially noticed,
whether arising from the debilitated tyranny of a tropical
atmosphere—the natural biaS of constitution—the impru-
dence of galetyor the more alarming results of a propen-

ST. MATTHEW, BETHNAL-GREEN.

We yesterday received from unquestionable authority,
the statement imincili..tely following, as the result of the
Election on Monday for Vestry Clerk
fly poll (or Mr. BILUTTLYI I i 56
ballot

1608

By poll for Mr.MAT . . . . 3
--: ballot

Majority for. Mr. lIRLITTON '274
The subsequent detail we copy from a cotemporAry :
The poll at the Workhouse having been closed at six
o'rlork on Monday evening, the follnuing result was
shortly afterwarth announced from the Chair
r..Bruttou
. Dl r. Play

Majority for Mr. Bretton 1553
nylon which this Chairmen declared that gentleman duly
clei MI as Vestry Clerk for the ensuing year.
The app! .nse which burst for h up,in this announce-
inmt was deafening to our happily unaccustomed ears,
and it etas many minutes before any degree of sileuce
could be obtained. When, however, the shunts of the
Bruttonians hail been moderated by repeated and lout
c ells fur silence, Mr. Bretton stepped forward fur the pur-
pose of addressing the ass•mb!ed aeishioners; of course
smuts of triumph hailed his appearance—die se subsided,
and we collected, at consider.ilde personal inconvenience
fro ti heat and pressure, the following address:—
" tienileuseu parishioners of St. Marthew—l most sin-
cerely congratulate you upon the glorious result of your
exertions this day: you have plac• d me upun an honour-
able elevation, which excites my pride, and claims my
gratitude : you have shown yours-Ives the stennett
friends of parochial independence, and von have elected'
the great object, fur the attainment of Which we have alit
laboured so I:ng and ru z.T.Lmsly; nor is it unworthy

Yesterday morning as early as 8 o'clock many persons of
both parties had assembled in front of the church door—the
vestry meeting of the Brettenians having been fixed upon to
take place in the vestry-room at the church at 10, and thatof
the Mayites at half-past 9 o'clock ; receiving an accession
of numbers momentarily, the concourse soon increased to a
considerably extent. As the hour of 10 approached, the in-
terest and anxiety of those assembled be,aine intense-10
o'clock struck and the doors remained abut—it was then
whispered that the Rector had obtained possession of the
keys of the church, and it was then announced and believed
that it was the Intention of the Reverend Gentleman not to
open the doors until 11 o'clock, although he had adjourned
the vestry of the last night until half-past nine o'clock that
Inc ruing.
At 7 minutes after 10 o'clock, Mr. Marshall, from the cen-
tre of the mob, called out aloud " 1 hereby publicly demand
admittance into the parish church, pursuant to the adjourn-
ment of the vestry of yesterday to the vestry room at 10
o'clock this morning." Having then paused for about two
minutes, and asked if any of the parish officers were present,
to which he was answered affirmatively, he then publicly an-
nounced the resumption of the vestry business at tho work-
house instanter ; upon this notice, a considerable body of
parishioners, headed by several parish officers, repaired to
the Governor's moot iu the workhouse. Arrived there, Mr.
Marshall was duly Installed chairman, and the vestry clerk
(Mr. Bretton) having read the official requisition, the meet-
ing proceeded to the business of the day.
It having been proposed and seconded that one of the
overseers he deputed to apply to the Rector for the deli-
very of the church keys forthwith, Mr. G. Potter, the
!senior rharchwarden, volunteered his services, and ac
companied by the head constable (Mr. Saunders), left
the vestry for that purpose.
The Cit unatear addressed the meeting, stating the oc-
currence of the morning, and farther, that the Rector
had demanded and obtained the parish keys of one of
the Churchwardens, ander the plea of baying a couple
to marry early in the morning. The Chairman then
called upon the vestry to bear any parishioner who
might offer to address them, with urbanity and pa-
tience.

The election of 32 Governer', 8 Com Missioners of the
Court of Requests, and 4 Collectors of the Poor-rates,
for the ensuing year, was proceeded in with due formality,
each resolution being carried unanimously.
Mr. POTTER. baying returned from the Vicarage, an-
nounced that the Rector had refused to deliver up the
parish keys.—(llisapprobation.)
A long and rather desultory conversation was then en-
tered into relative to the necessity of confirming the
Resolutions of Monday, in which Lawrence 6wynne,
Esq., the Rev. W. Brown, and Messrs. Brutton and Mar-
shall took part ; rite result was a vote confirthing the re-
solutions of Monday in Coto.
A vote of thanks td the Chairman was seconded and
carried unanimously, after which
The CHAIRMAN, in a very neat and appropriate speech,
returned thanks, and the business of the meeting being
terminated, the Chair was vacated.
The hoar appointed for the Mayite vestry at, the
Church haring arrived, *e proceeded to the scene of
action, and found a numerous party io foil debate; the
Rector in the Chair, and Mr, May, jun. acting as Vestry
Clerk. _ _

A variety of resolutions were respectively passed, ap-
pointing the parish officers, and it is due to the meeting
to state, that every thing had the appearance of being
done in a serious and business-like manner; the absence
of the parish books and papers, however, drove this
church vestry to various shifts ; among them; for in-
stance, in the appointment of the beadhorotir,hs, it
was necessary to call for that number of volunteers, and
it was with considerable difficulty, and after much loss
of time, that the list was tilled. Whilst this was doing,
a person advanced into the body of the church, and an-
nounced, in a loud but tremulous voice, the approach of
the adverse party; the confusion thereby eans,d ;vas not
i;econsiderable, s awe bold vestrymen, itweed, cried out,
" Let them come—we shall out-number them ;" but the
Itruttonians came not, lest, as we suppose, they migt t he
thought to acknowie lice the legatty of tue di tyite ves-
try proceedings. Toe panic having inbadled, the list
was at length tilled, and the aypointinent of the said vo-
lunteers reso'ved upon.
Thanks were then voted to them for their rourageons
intrepidity in standing boldly forward as the protectors
of the prate of the Perish, and the supporters of the
day's proceedings.
.A
resolution was then passed to 'direct Collier, tl e
beadle, to call daily upon Mr. May, jun. as the only Yee-
' try Clerk, for directions as to the discharge of his duty.
Mr. CARPENTER Moved a vote of thanks to the Reve-
rend Chairman, which was seconded and carried tumid=
comply, who returned thanks, and the meeting 4111
putted.
We fear these proceedings are but ne ominous precur-
sors of evil to this ill-fated Parish.

It tapppred inAvidince, that on Sunday evening, the
23d of Weil', the proaecutor was walkingstith a young-
woman inn footpath between BermondseLsod.Peckham,
when he .Wei overtaken by three men. One of theta ,
seized hiby the collar, put a pistol to his head, aktf'di-
mended bts tnoney. He beggedrthey would rot tale his
watch. The man who held the pistol insisted upon hay-
ing it, and snitched it, whilst the other men belt! hint
by the collar. They then tonic abo:i ten shilings from
his pocket. iketassailants then ran idf. The man who
hadathe pistol looked round, and told Linz to return back
to Peckham whence he came, and th•eat-ned to bloat
out his brains. In conseqnence of the information he
gave, the two prisoners were apprehended about a wee!:
afterwards. The prosecutor would rot ;swear to their
identity, but expressed his belief that they were -two of
the persons who had r ibbed him. Upon searching the
lodgings of the prisoner Minnick, Tice or six watches
were found, one of which turned out to be the property
of the prosecutor. Under some coals, in the same pri-
soner's premises, were found two leaded pistols. When
apprehended, the prisoner Bunnick confeise I the fact,
that he was concerned in the robbery, and surrendered
himself willingly.
A good character was given to both prisoners by se- •
veral reputable persons who had known them front their
infancy.
Mr.. Baron GRAHAM summed op the evidence for the
Jury, who found the prisoner Bonnick Guilty—Death.
The other prisoner was found Not Guilty.
The prisoner. were again indicted for a similar rot.
bory, in stealing front the persoi of Benjamin Co'es, a
metal watch and 20s. at Bertnotalsey, on the 21st Dec.
The prosecutor stated, that he was a clerk in the Knit
of England, living in Albany-row, Camberwell ; and on
the evening of the 21st December last, ttas walking
with a female in Bermondsey-road, when two men cane
behind him, one a short, and the other a tall man, and
seized him by the collar. The taller man demanded his
blunt, and at the same instant presented a pistol to his
head. Not knowing the meaning of the word blunt, lie
hesitated ; upon which the saute man said " Be quid:;
you know what we want: one word, and I'll See, by
The prosecutor then took a few shillings our of
his pocket, anu gave them to the robbers. The tall man
then said, " Has he a tatkr ?" The shorter man thou
felt Lis fob, and drew forth a metal watch, and bot:t
then ran off. Looking at the prisoners now, they bore
every resemblance to the 1112 a who rubbed hint on the
night in question. He spoke more positively to the
taller man, who was the prisoner Hooper. At Union
Hall, he had only said, that he had every reeson to be-
lieve that Hooper was one of the men. Eiidentx
ler to that given in the last case was also adduced in
this. The watch was never afterwards found.

The Jury found both prisoners—Not Guilty.
The prisoners were again severally indicted for similar
robberies of Mr. Jekin F.lwia, a student of Gay's Hospi-
tal, and a Mr. Henry Harvey, bat for want of sufficient;
proofs of identity, verdicts of Not Guilty were r..corded.
The prisoners then pleaded Guilty to an indictment
for an assault with intent to rob Mr. Henry Marsh, at
Rotherhithe. The prisoner Hooper was sentenced to
seven.years' transportation; the other prisoner receive I
sentence of death.

MONMOUTH CRIMINAL COURT, Matters 31.
Daniel James, a labouring man, was indicted fir felo-
niously having carnal knowledge of Rachel Lewi.,
child under the age of ten years.
This case stood for trial ut the last summer assizes fir
this county. At that time Mr. Justice Bayley, who then
presided in the Criminal Court, examined the child, who
was the principal witness for the prosecution, respecting
her knowledge of the nature and obligations of an oath ;
and thinking she was not then caiinpetent to give evi-
dence, directed the trial to be postponed till these assizes,
and ordered the child to be in tae mean time to be in-
structed in the duties and the sanctions of religion. Shit
now appeared fully to understand the responsibility she
wss incurring, and gave her evidence in a clear and in-
telligent manner. She described the outrage as baying
been committed in a pea-field, whither she had been sent
by her grandmother, to drive away the birds, on the
24th of June last ; and spoke nitliont the I. ast hesita-
tion to the identity of the prisoner. It was proved that
he vas apprehentiel from the description she Kaye of
him, that he was in the field on the morning of the ripe,
and that he denied being there when before the Magi.-
, trate. It appeared from the testimony of a surgeon that
very great violence had been sustained by the child.
The prisoner declined making any defence. The Jury
almost immediately found him tlisility.
' Mr. Justice BEST passed sentence of death upon him,
and warned him that it would undoubtedly be executed.
The prisoder left the bar without manifesting any
emotion.

By the arrival of the American ship notrqua, at Liver-
pool, from China, we have accounts from Canton 4.f a
lator date elan the previous arrira's. By these we 4re
informed that the inhabitants of teat city were rapidly
clearing away the ruins occasioned by the late confla-
gration; and that temporary habitations bad been form-
ed in the vicinity, until the houses could be rebuilt.—
Considerable impediments bad been thrown in the way
of commerce by this unfortunate catastrophe, but it was
supposed that no failure among the Hong merchants
would take place, although two of that b• dy have been
severe sufferers, and consequently that the Ituropean has
would be confined to the amount of property actually
consumed. The destruction bo.h of life and pioserty
was, however, stated to have been rather exaggerated in
the accounts previously given at Canton.
