Curvature Of the Spine.
DR.. HAMILTON.

DR.. HAMILTON,
No. Al, North Gay street, Baltimore,
HAVING turned much of his attention
Il i during long practice to the diseases
of The Spine, begs leave to tender his SER
vices for the cure or relief of that affecting
malady. The approach Sf this disease is
easily detected by an attentive observer.
1t makes its appearance generally in chill
dren between the second, and sixth year !;
protuberance ~ one or more Of the small
bones composing the spine becomes evi-
dent, loss OF appetite, irregularity OF the
bowels, and emaciation soon follow, toge-
ther with much Discrimination to walk
and unless immediate aid is obtained, death
or MISERABLE decripitude through lite are
the certain consequences.
Doctor Hamilton has the satisfaction of
knowing that his treatment OF this disease,
and spplicationof the necessary apparatus,
which is simplifed at the same time, that
il is materially improved, have received
the unqualified appreciation OF many Of the
most eminent of bis medical brethren in
Baltimore. Spring corsets, upon a pew
principle, can be applied for the use of
Young ladies evincing tendency to this
disease, which, while they afford the most
efiectual support for either side, may be
worn without observation. Satisfactory re-
feFences might be given 10 parents whose
children have prohted by this improved
mode oftreatment, did not delicacy forbid
the publication they may be easily OBJ
tanned ifdesired, BY private interview.

WARNING TO FARo-TABLEs.


We stated few days ago, the critical
case of a coloured man, whose commitment
TO the Penitentiary perhaps depended upon
The turn Of card. We stated also that two
other coloured men had been sent on to the
Circuit Court, for furthertrial, on the ground
Of their having actually exhibited Chat is,
according to the Interpretation Of the Hust-
ings Court, actually played the game.)
The trial of these two men came on
few days ago before the Circuit Court, held
by Judge Brockenbrougb, sitting in this
City. The two men, whose names are
Jackson and and Newell, were arraigned
for exhibiting Faro-T able, and it being
proven by credible evidence, that they bad
sat at the table, turned the cards, played
with the by-standers, and won or lost mo-
ney, the jury found themselves called on
by the injunctions Of the law to bring in a
verde! OF guilty. These two men will be
consigned to the Penitentiary for twelve
mCnln, 10 eXpldlC the miSueiAcdllOT Vi pidy-
ing al the game Of faro. If we are not mis-
informed, these will be the first victims 10
the law upon this subject.
We have every respect, which is due to
the Legislature of our native state, 10 the
judge who presides, and the jury who con-
victed. We have no respect for those uA-
happy criminals, whose characters at best
are entitled to no esteem. We have no
sort Of doubt, that tue evidence suited the
fact, and the fact suited the law. But we
deem il public misfortune that such men
should be the first examples under law OF
new character in the criminal code OF our
state. That men Of color, two men who
cannot probably read or write, men who
perhaps have never read, who cannot read
the law, nor ever heard Of it, who might
have supposed the utmost punishment iTas
fine, but not commitment 10 the Peniten-
,tiary, that such poor wre;ches as these.
should have iallen the FIRST victims to The

law, is, to say the least OF it, irgular and
unfortunate. I'VE donot murmur a, tie Dis.
,pensatien Of justice !; it is rather the dispen.
sations OF fortune. which causes our regret
Such, however, is the influence which ior.
tune sheds over the affairs of men, iron the
highes; to the lowest things! These men
were defended. and they were we'll deten.
ded; but the evidence and the law wer.
too hard for them.

II has often been remarked, that in pro-
portion as ianaticism gains ground in ma
tion.the moralpurposes Of religion gradual
ly disappear. In this country, while the
yelis of the tabernacle assail the ear in eve
ry direction, vice prospers; and that worst
otcr;nes, murder, increases in number and
atroeiiy. There was time when the ira
