IMPRESSED with a just and humane sense of
a. the calamitous results arising from the injudicious treat-
ment of a certain malady, contracted in a manner too welt
known to require a comment, and often entailing on its un-
happy victim a series of distressing and almost insupporta-
ble afflictions. Dr. EADY respectfully gilts the attention of
those interested in his peculiar and most effectual method of
cure, unlike the advertising empiric of the day. or the equally
criminal conduct of those " who hold the word of promise to
the ear and break it to our hope." Dr. Eady will not pre-
sume to pledge infallibility in every description of case, but
as far as human aid, assisted by medical and surgical skill
can be applied, he promises a certain, speedy, and perma-
nent restoration ; having mule every species of Sv philitlc
affection, and its various train of diseases, the primary objects
of his professional studies, and being flattered by the trans-
cendent success which has accompanied his mode of treat-
ment during the course of a long and laborious practice, he
is enabled to offer, with the fullest confidence, pretensions
at once the most hopeful and encouraging. Innumerable in-
stances can be adduced illustrative of the superiority of Dr.
Eady's system, which had been found to prevail, even
where eminent talent, retained by public institutions, hut
proved ineffectual. In addition to those consolatory advan-
ces. Dr. Eady will be found equally fortunate in reviving the
slumbering and debilitated energies of the human constitu-
tion, which embitter, and, if not timely arrested, frequently
render nugatory the very principle of existence. From this

Be lent alone to slumber's power ?
0, no ! 'twas made
t For the moon-light walks, where lovers meet,
And the silver songs, and the music sweet,
Of their serenade.
And rise love, rise, the queen of night
Upbraids thy rest, for her smiles are bright
On thy casement now ;
And the fairest forms of love and bliss
Are tuvake and abroad. in a night like this— •

0 quit, love, quit, those visions blest,
That hover around thy couch of rest,
From realms above ;
Forget if thou cans't the halcyon theme.
And awake to as holy, as happy a dream—
The dream of love.
And hark, love, hark. to yon melody faint.
'Tis the song of the nightingale pouring her plaint
To the starry ref?
But the only orbs that oarLeheur my night.
Aud bless my song with their looks of light—
Oh, where are they ?
And list.love. list, mid the silence around
Thou shalt hear beside, the warmed sound
Of thy lover's lay ;
As he sings, that the earth and the skies are dim,
Aud the beauty of night bath no beauty for hillt,
While thou art away.
Then wake thee, wake, thou sweeteit flower,
And quit for a moment thy virgin bower,
For thy true love's sake :
There is nought to harm thee. around or on high,
The earth is tranquil, and is the sky—
Then wake. love, wake.

The well known sound of her love r's guitar

And see nt her easement she takes her stand,
And waving slow her lilly hand,
She wafts a kiss to her cavalier.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—(From a Correspondent.)—
For the last four months, at. intervals, the family of
Mr. Dickens, ornamental paper-stainer, residing in'
Skinner-street, Somer's Town, have been nightly•
alarmed by the back windows of the house being
broken with stones thrown by some invisible hand,
and although the maid servant had been set to watch,
and other plans adopted to trace from what place the
missiles were thrown, and by whom, nothing ever
transpired to form any conjecture as to the invisible
Assailant. On Tuesday morning, about six o'clock,,
the family were still more alarmed by the maid ser-
vant calling nut " Murder! Thieves!" which
roused the neighbours, and the whole street was in
an uproar. On Mr. Dickens running down stairs, he
found tne poor girl in the kitchen, in the greatest dis-
tress ; she could not articulate for some moments ;
at length, having recovered, shn related the following
mysterious and atrocious act :—On her leaving leer
bed-room a few minutes past six o'clock, she went
down into the kitchen to light the fire, and was going
from the kitchen into the wash-house in the yard,
when a tall fi,:ure, apparently seven feet, big!), in the
shape of a 1114 n, with a most hor.ible comae's:ince,
stared her in the face; she sprung back wite horror,
and ran into the p:tssage, the monster followed and
grasped her by the throat ; she struggled, and the
phantom clawed her face with his I.aiis, and then
vanished over a high wall, exclaiming in a hollow se-
pnlchral voice, " you, you a:•e not the one 1
want." She ran down stairs into the kitchen, and
fainted away, is which situation she was lo:nel by her
master. lids mysterious affair hat: created consider-
able consternation in the neighbourhood.
SINUCLAR Ronneitr.—The coins recently depo-

sited by the hand of the Right Reverend the Bishop
of Chester, within the foundation•stone of the new
church at Aslaton-under-Line, were a few nights
since very ingeniously extracted from the cavity of
the stone, and a scrap of paper, containing the follow-
ing lines, were found in th place of them :
" This stone the curious fact revealed
" That various coins were here concealed ;
" And told the world in language fair,
" A Bishop's hand had placed them there I •
" To make such information known,
" It must have been a clever stone ;
" So clever—that it p'haps can say,
" Who 'twas that stole the coins away."
(Sheffield Indepouleiet.)
On the afternoon of Sunday, the 4th, during the
performance of service at the parish church of Alder-
ton, in Suffolk, as the minister was addressing a nume-
rous -congregation from the pulpit, a proportion of the
old steeple, which has been far many years in a very
ruinous condition, fell down ..tith a tremendous crash.
Happily the wind was in such a direction that no part
of it fed on the church ; otherivise the effects would
have been appalling and disastrous in the extreme.
rite scene, however, which ensued, may be more easily
conceived than described. The shrieks ocibe females,
tuniultnous rush of the whole congregation to the east
end of the church, the terror and alarm depicted on
every countenance, and the roar of the tempest from
without, produced au impression on the minds of all
present which will probably never be erased. Bat no
actcal iniary was sustained by any one.

Currsintrar, Nov. 13-41401wr and very daring of
(when the brightnees of the morning is taken into
emmiieration) with smuggles; took place at Sand ate.
about three o'clock on Saturday morning, at which hour
a large boat pat on shore near the National School, and
was Immediately attended by nearly 400 smugglers from
the country, a very considerable portion of whom were
armed with guns and pistols. An alarm was given by
the seamen of the coast blockade on duty on the spot;
on which Thomas Moore, master-at-arms, lefothe watch-
house with five seamen under his command, and, when
-

un pistol shot, commenced a spirited attack on the
smugglers, who in the short space of tea minutes, had
succeeded in discharging a cargo, supposed to consist
of about 300 parcels.
As the little baud who first commenced the action be-
came reinforced by the arrival of Mr. W. Lowry (an Ad-
miralty Mate), with three men, the smugglers retreated
up the military road, leading to the military barrack,
pursued by that officer and seven men, Mr. Moore ha% itig
been detached to secure the vessel and thirty-four tabs
left by the smugglers, which duty be performed; but
the working party being seat a-bead, and their effectual
pursuit retarded by the armed party, the ammunition of
the blockade service being upended, the chace was re-
linquished, after Mr. Lowry had been severely *ounde.i
in the right thigh, and two seamen also wounded. The
ball has been extracted from Mr. Lowry, and it is haped
he may do well. The bravery of this fficer before s 3
great a disparity of force cannot he too much exto'le i.
On the alarm reaching No. 4, Tower. Mr. Shell4rit,
Master's May, who came off duty at twelve o'clock 411
had retired to rest, set off with his party to endeaval,r
to intercept the smugglers in land ; but from the eis-
tance of his station, and the time necessarily occupie.i,
the zeal of that officer was ineffectual, although
continued his search from three o'clock until half-pate
seven.

The riding officers, and the parties of the 9th lancer.;
on the coast duty, had by sonle false information been
drawn to the westward; thellythe party in particalar
were occupied all the night; but on the return of M...
E. Illowle to his house, about eight o'clock in the mor..-
ing, he received such information as induced him
diately to proceed to a shave near l'ostling, almitt
miles from the coast, with a swill detachment of tt:
tlth lancers, where were found four parcels of tubs
amounting to one hundred and seventy: on the ap-
proach of the officers and soldiers, two men were
to quit the spot where the tubs were concealed, one
named Richard Rolfe, of Lvmpne, was
and had in his liossession a pistol, powder-horn, an
slugs. Rolfe, with the goods, was of course seized, co•i-
reved to Ilythe, and after examination before IV, Deriies,
Esq. at r. Elwyn's office, he was committed for pret.ei,t
safety to Ily the g-aol.
During Sunday a great number of suspicious charac-
ters were observed in the town ; and apprehending :jai::
an attempt at rescue might be made, the Magistrate, f•e
perfect security, anthorised the removal of the prisoler
to the barracks of the Royal Staff Corps : pic9.1.1% ai
which regiment patroled the streets during the night.
It is believed that the smugglers suffered very severe-
ly. We have heard of eleven killed and two wounded,
Of whom two died on Saturday.

YORK CONIIISTOR COURT.....—A DAMSON AND HUTCH-
-INsox.—A cause is now pending in the Consistent
Court of York, to try the validity of the will of Mr.
Joseph Hutchinson, of Sunderland, which was made
under the following circumstances :—Me. Hutchins I
had been a patient in the York Lunatic Asylum fur 5..-
veral months prior to June last. At that time as t.
licitor and a conveyancer attended him in the Asyln a
to take instructions for his will, which he accordin
signed in York, but not within the walls of the Asy-
lum. After the will was made, he returned to the Asy-
lum, and died there a few days afterwards. The trtei-
tion that arises is, whether the testator was of sane
mine ? and on this head the evidence contradictory.
I Should the will he estahlished, Mr. John lintebinstr;,
his brother, will succeed to the hulk et his property,
which is considerable ; if the will be set aside, Mrs.
Adamson, who was his sister, wiil be entitled to is
equal share.—(tecds lutellieenrer.)
Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken, at the
sign of the Mitre, Broad-street, Christ-church, before
Mr. Jemmet, the Coroner, on the body of Win. Yates.
The deceased was a porter in the service of Messrs.
Devey and Co. coal-merchants, Bankside, Hlackfriars;
and on Monday last was assisting in unloading a
barge, when he suddenly ceased working, laid his
hand on his chest, and cscatiming " (lb ! Lore"
dropped down dead. The deceased lived in Wes:
Harding-street, Gough-square, and has left a large
family. Verdict—" Died suddenly by the visitation'
of God."

Another inquest was held before the same Coroner
and Jury, on a female infant, which is snpposed to
have been thrown into the Thames. Jobs Warles, u.
No. 1, Union-street, Lambeth, a labourer in the see vire
of Messrs. Chatfield, A rnott, and t :o. timber-merchants,
Illackfriars, stated that yesterday morninc; a lift!,
after eight o'clock, he beheld som. t Mug sticking in the
hank of the river, close to his waster's wharf, whicii,
on nearer inspection, proved to be the ;lead body of 4
lie acqnainted his employer and fellow-work-
men with the circumstances, and at the desire of !h.,
former, fetched Mr. Troughten, the beadle, who cup-
veyed the body to the workhouse. There was no
public thoroughfare on the wharf, but there was a pas-
sage to an adjoining public-house. Mr. Irish, of
Stamford-street, surgeon, had seen the body, hit:
could not positively say whether it had been boa ;
dead or alive. If he hazarded an opinicin, he shoull
think it had been still-born, or died of heutorrhavt
soon after the birth. The Jury returned, " that ti,e
said child was found dead in the river Thames, sup-
posed to have beet still-born."
A few evenings back, an inquest was held at the
Marquess of Cornwallis, Dyer-street, (in the above
parish) on the body of an elderly man named Pene-
grine Flicker. The deceased was a watchman and
lived iu Dyer street, be was of a most impetuous
temper, which obliged his wife to leave him and live
in separate lodgings. The deceased then took to
