If we turn our eyes to France we shall find 0 » importance this sukject Ju iy recognised , and the exertions of men of science nootj countenance * amd encouraged by the National Tunas . fief « rring to the Hospital of St .

Not so in France : successor after successor , each equally eosinent with his precursor , has glided through the moving panorama of life , from the days at Lorry M our own , till St . Louis Hospital has become no lees deserving « f fame tkan St Louis , the tutelary shade of that megwnceat establishment . * Surely here is an example to this counby whka we are bound jea ' oasly H emulate . Tha writer fee . s . that the mpo-tance and necessity of a simlar establishment in Snglavd can ne < er be too much , insisted apoa . The peculiar n < ture « f the diseases ia question , and the almost in Hrmonatable difficulty of acquiring accurate Knowledge as to their modes of treatment—consented Tsith & e immense numbers ef the suffering pirtics ~ lender this desideratum actuall y tie greatest under which these islands at present laboar , iaasana ' orypointot suit . These diseases are s * numerous ai ^ multiform in appearance asd effect , and present soon aa infinite variety in diagnosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies from the « ncertain results of individual ani scattered practice . Notwithstanding tho laudable endeavours of the various British Authors who have writtea opoa this subject - and the highest talent has not been wanting in the respect—still , of actual covativa projcr . es lit ie or nothing has been a = kier « d ; and this , plainly , from the wantot a theatre of action , where tbe operations and results of curative appliances might l-e ocularly teste * , compared , ani treasured up in tbe garner ot experience .

Writers may classify and sub-classify , and arrange under g- ncra and species , as tbe late Dr Willan and his pupil , Dr Batemao , have done , with consummate skill and unwearied industry , but wanting tha meant of reference to actual cases and personal observation and comparison , their efforts are thrown away , and tile ravages of disease una-Wed . Deeply impressed with these consideratiens , and anxions to afford an opportunity to all who may be desirous of co-operating with him in the advancement of this hitherto neglected department ef medical science , Dr Inmshas opened the * shore-named Dispensary at Uamp-Stead-street , Fiaroy-square .

Humanly speaking your pills have saved my life ! Many tried to dissuade me f rem using them , and I doubt not but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent modiciae , in consequene-a » f the impositions practise * bvmaiy worthless wretches ; butwhata pity itis that the deceptions used by others , should be themsans ef preventing many unhappy persons , under disease , from regaining health , by the useefyeur pills . Whea I commenced the use of your pills I was in a mest wretched condition , and te my great delight , in a few days afterwards , there was a considerable change for the better , and by continuing te use them for some weeks , I hue been perfectly restored to health , to the surprise ef all who have witnessed the state to which 1 had been reduced by the disordered state of the Liver and Stomach WonldtoGod that every poor sufferer would avail himself of the same astonishing remedy .

BLAIR'S GOUT ASD RHEUMATIC PILLS . Copy of a letter front Mr Blake , KingsclhTe , Northamptonshire . Kingscliffe , January 21 , 1847 . "Sib , —Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic Gout . I procured the best advice passible , but without deriving any beacfit ; and tho doctors reeommended me to go to the Stamferd Infirmary , where I continued twelve weeks , and left it without having obtained any benefit , and all hope of relief had vanished . " This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to [ try Blair ' s Pills . I then lost no time in sending to Mr Mortiock , Of Stamford , for a box , and'by the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch . I then sent for another btr , which enabled me to throw away the other , and thank God 1 have never since had such an attack . " I am much exposed to cold ; but whenever I feel symptoms of attack , I have recourse to the pills with universal success . " I recommended the pills to a gentleman who resides in this neighbourhood , and he bus derived tho must essential relief therefrom , and is now never without them . "You may publish this for the benefit of those similarly afflicted . I am , sir , jonr obedient , humble servant , " Samuel blase , " Smith and Farrier . ' , The never-failing effects of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic PUIS in curing every description ef Gout and Rheumatism , have secured te them a celebrity unequalled by any inediciue of past or present times .

Coast Of Cornwall, Has Been Suggested By...
coast of Cornwall , has been suggested by necessity , there having boen previously no leading light from Land ' s End to Lundy . Trevose Head lies a few miles W . S . W . ofthe haven of Padstow , and is the most prominent headland on this side of the country ; so thai the position could not have been better chosen . The survey of this site was made by order of the Trinity Board in July , 1844 , There are two lights . Upon the completion of the upper one , it was found that it was liable to be mistaken , under certain circumstances , and accordingly , in June last , the erection of a second , or Low Light , was determined upon .
It stands about fifty feet in advance of the High Light , and between them is a covered passage of communication for the use of the light-keepers . The elevation ofthe High Light is about 200 feet above high water , of the Low Light , 130 feet . The light is a dioptric of the first order , consisting of . refractors and zones , of polished glass , with one central lamp of four concentrated wicks . The new light will be exhibited shortly , of which due notice will be given by the Trinity Board . Singular Death . —On the 2 nd instant , a young couple , who had been married that morning , resolved to pass a few days of the honeymoon in Brussels , and accordingly took the train for that city ., ; On their arrival at Malines the husband got out of the train
to procure some refreshments for his wife , but unfortunately tho train proceeded on its course before his return . He immediately resolved to hire a twohorse conveyance to Brussels ( about four French leagues distant , ) and soon started on his journey . Towards nightfall , a very thick fog ( the first of the season ) arose . All , however , went well , until the earrings reached one of the suburbs of Brussels , near Lacken , when the driver , not seeing his way clearly , dro ? e _ off the high road into the canal . The unfortunate individual in the carriage , having no means or extricating himself , was drowned , as were also the two horses . The coachman contrived to jump off his seat and to save himself by swimming . eantime the wife arrived at
M her place of destination , where she passed the night . The next morning finding that her husband did not arrive by any of tho trains from Malines , she became greatly alarmed and spoke on the subject to some of the gentlemen connected with the railway . About 10 p . m . the accident became known to them , and they sent off an express to Antwerp in order to communicate it to the family of the deceased . His brother immediately went up to town , and after having given the first orders respecting the body of his unfortunate relative , conducted the widow of the deceased back to Antwerp , where , after much precaution , she learned tor the nrefc time , the melancholy intelligence .
Manchbstbr . —Shocking Death from the nunsi . ino of a CAKKe » .-An inquest was held byMrW , £ > . flutter , coroner , at Barnes-green , Blackley , two miles from Manchester , on the body of a young man nineteen years of ago , named John .

On Friday evening last , Gunpowder-plot Day , tho deceased and a number of other young men had a large bonfire ; the unfortunate man had made a small cannon out of an old gas-pipe , and charged it with three ounces of powder , wet paper , rags , and grass , and on discharging tho cannon it burst ; one portion entered the young man ' s head , and killed him on the spot .

I am no advocate for murder , either in private orin public , either by the depraved slave of evil passions , or the h angman wno depraves , thousands by his murder m broaddaybVht . But I have , by long" reflection on the subject ,
and on the results of our past policy , arrived at tno conclusion that official murder is no cure tor private murder ; that the rope will not restrain either the knife , the hatchet , or the dose of poison ; that we have no tight to take life by any moans , or on anv pretence , and that our so taking it neither diminishes crime , nor instructs ignorance ( which leads to crime)—while on the contrary , violence is the tertile seed of violence . ,.,. „„ j Admitting therefore , the enmo of this woman , and asking for no exemption for her from any just , sufficient , rational , and reformatory punishment , l cannot help regarding , and feeling thab you will regard wrh me , the cool barbarity of the proposed postponement and aggravated infliction of death in this case as one most revolting to every feeling of our natures , as riVraseful to the age and country in which we live ,
as tending tocheok the pure and benevolent teelwg in which lies the surest hopo of our onward progress towards the Wisdom and the blessings of Christianity , and as violating two divine lawa at once—that against shedding human blood , and rending asunder a bond of God ' s own knitting , that ot . mother and
child . ... . -i It apaeirs to me that here is an opportunity peculiarly afforded us for bearing pur testimony against the longer continuance of a revolting , inhuman , and , I sincerely believe , unchristian and criminal practice ; and I , therefore , my country women , , respectfully and affectionately entreat you to join everywhere , in your maternal and womanly character , in the following , or a similar , petition , to the Queen , for the commutation of the punishment of this condemned
criminal . Yours very truly , Mary Howitx . To Has Most Gaxcious Majesty Qdyek Victoria . The Humble Petition of Mary flowitt , and other women , Showetb , That your petitioners earnestly beg to call your Majesty ' s att ntioa to the case of Mary Ann Hunt , who now li-s in ti e prison of Newgate , condemned to death for murder .
That we do not approach your Majesty with any plea of palliation of her off-snee , or any doubt as to her guilt , but we , in common with large numbers , both of our countrymen and countrywomen , have long been convinced of the inutility of capital punishment as a preventive of crime—believing on the contrary , that the direct tendency of public executions is to stimulate crime , and to produce , especially on the minds of the uneducated classes , callousness of heart and a barbarous pleasure in the sufferings of Others , That , such belnj our earnest conviction , we are , at this moment , particularly anxious to call your Majesty ' s attention to the revolting circumstances attending the case of the said criminal Mar ; Ann Iluut .
That this unhappy woman should be preserved for some months only to give birth to her child , and then to be violently torn away frera it and life together ; that she should be carefully raised from the bed of her pains for the purpose of undergoing a public and terrible death has something in it it so repugnant to our common nature , no less than to the benign spirit of Christianity , that we cannot but pray earnestly that the fulfilment of her sentence ma ; be spared to this criminal . That we feel it to be a case peculiarly calculated for your Majesty ' s consideration . That as a woman and a mother , as the chief woman of the nation and the mother of her people , your Majesty cannot be behind the greater portion of your female subjects in desiring to set aside the barbarism now impendiugoveroneof your own
sex . That we believe the moral sentiment and the Christian principle of England demand this concession of tha ruling powers to the growing development of these qualities in the heart of the nation , that we speak the sense of a large portion of the wisest and the best of the community , and that while no long time can elapse before penal homicide is for ever abolished from the British code , the execution of Mary Ann Hant , under present circumstances , would be felt as an outrage to public humanity .
Tour petitioners therefore earnestly entreat , as a matter of Christian principle , of human feeling , of deference to the best sympathies of woman , and from all these causes of the soundeit and most enlightened policy , that your most gracioui Majesty will consider the case of Mary Ann Hunt , and moved by such consideration as cannot fail of influencing the wise and humane ruler of a great and magnanimous people , will mercifully grant a commutation of her sentence . And your petitioners will ever pray , etc .

Daring Outrage.—Dick Torpin W Ths Princi...
Daring Outrage . —Dick Torpin w ths Princip alitt . —Dr Bowring , M . P ., left Gloucester by the early South Wales mail coaoh on Thursday morning , and arrived at Bridgend about eleven o ' clock the same evening , At Bridgend he met his brother , Mr Charles Bowring , and having procured 41 , 000 in sovereigns and silver from the Bridgend Bank , they left the town together in a phaeton for the Maesteg Iron Works , of which the Doctor is one of tho leading proprietors . On arriving about midway between the two places , which are eight miles apart , in a narrow part ofthe road , and whilst their vehicle was slowly ascending a hill , two men sprung from the hedge , presented a pistol at the head of each of the Messrs Bowing , accosted them by their names , and toid them they were determined to have their money or their lives . They said , 'We know vou have got a arge sum of money in your bae : eive it un . or ««
will blow your brains out . ' Thus assailed , the Messrs Bowring , being alarmed , felt resistance would be useless , and they eave up the whole of the money , which consisted of £ 750 in sovereigns and £ 250 in silver the robbers then , to guard against pursuit , shot the horse dead upon the spot , and then made their escape , but without personally illtreating the gentlemen whom they had plundered . As soon as they were gone , Mr Charles Bowring proceeded on foot and in all haste to the nearest farm-house , where he stated what had happened to him , and he borrowed a horse on which he immediately rode back to Bridgend , whence he sent off expresses to all parts ofthe surrounding country with descriptions ofthe guiltyparties . The result of this prompt and prudent course was that one of the robbers was apprehended about four o ' clock the same afternoon with £ 250 in gold in his possession . . The same night also , about eleven o ' clock , and at ten miles distance from tho
scene of the robbery , a countryman passing along the road , and who had heard ofthe robbery . , had his suspicions excited by a man who was walking along the road and carrying something in a handkerchief , which , although not bulky , appeared to be heavy . They entered into conversation together , and the countryman having his suspicions more and more confirmed , boldly seized the fellow , who drew a razor to defend himself , but was knocked down and cap . tured by the countryman , whe , on afterwards examining his prize , found that the handkerchief contained 500 sovereigns , part of the booty stolen from Dr Bowring . Both culprits were on Saturday examined belore the magistrates at Bridgend , and remanded . They are Irishmen , and were formerly employed at the works
Macisteg . They , no doubt , were well aware ofthe money which Dr Bowring and his brother carried with them , and they stationed themselves at a very convenient spot for effecting the robbery ; but it would ssem after all that they were novices at their trade , as their ingenuity did not serve them to invent means of escape . Hiehway robberies are of very unfrequent occurrence in Wales , and this one has excited an immense sensation throughout the district . It is supposed that the "Iter 06260 ] was found toobulky an * heavy to be portable , and that . herascals buried it . We understand that . thelearned Doctorand Co ., had recently been reducing the wages ot ' their workmen . One of the tenants of an Irish landlord lately partook so greedily of the audit dinner , that he died In a few minutes .

Important To Friendly Societies Cotbbhts...
IMPORTANT TO FRIENDLY SOCIETIES CoTBBHTsoit e . Ki ' tomk . _ This was an act ' broug ht at the Westminster County Court , by the biIjl ' tltf , a journeyman tailor , ' a member ofthe Robin n i Society of Journeymen Tailors , against the defend . " the landlord of the White Horse , Carnaby Market £ 10 s ., money paid for his use , as treasurer of thesociehT Mr Ernest Jones appeared for the plaintiff , Mr Warms for the defendant . a The sum in dispute , although of small amount inyiji Ted a most important question , and excited the attention of a crowded court , Inasmuch as the defendant is atleceA to owe the society , of which the plaintiff is a member a mm of £ 88 ., and to have refused accounting f or " v * game the society not beins enrolled . Not having l
, public officer through whom to sue the plaintiff had h , the advice of his counsel , brought this action to try ftj question . mMr Ebkest Jokes said his Honour would recollect that the case came orlgianlly before him about a m <* ia since , and was adjourned for the purpose of tho def en . daut ' s sister attending , to whom some portion of th & money was paid , and also for the attendance of the stewards of a society held at defendant ' s house , and to which the plaintiff belonged . The summons rag to recover 10 s ., monies paid for the use and purposes of * society to which the p laintiff belongs . The defendant being the treasurer of that society , was bound to account for all monies paid over to him , and , consequently , ths money paid by the plaintiff .
t Mr Warhan contended the action could not bo brought by the plaintiff , inasmuch as he had never paid t & 6 money to the defendant , and his client , if accountable was so to the stewards . Mr Ebuebt Johes replied . On account of the socitiy not being enrolled , It was not competent for the stewards to sue tho treasurer for any money ., Mr Warhah . — This action was to recover back ' a sum of money paid by the plaintiff to some one who purports to be the secretary or steward . The money was then paid , with other monies to his client , who disbursed the money for ths society In payment of sick members . He submlttsd most confidently , that his client could not be called npon to account to persons for the disposal o £ money which they bad not paid ( o him , but to other par . ties . If he was responsible for the money of the society it was to the stewards who paid it over to him , and not to Individual members who paid the money to the stew . ards . He accounts with the stewards of the . society , and the stewards were bonnd to take care of the nion »
of the society , according to the rul ^ s . Mr E & hest . Tomes said , his client had , through hit agents ( the stewards ) paid the defendant money for socWtj's purposes , which money had not been properl y applied by the defendant , sad be ( Mr J ) contended , there was a resulting trust in favour of his client . The defendant , however , denied all personal knowledge ofthe plaintiff , aud the ease was adjourned for evidence to show that the money paid by the plaintiffbad been paid over to the defendant . The society , his Honour would remember , was established for the purpose of assisting « ick members following the trade of a tailor , and couse . quently a trade society . The Jcdoe . —Is not the defendant the treasurer of the society , and accountable to any individual member for the money ?
Mr Wabhan . —He is no effioer whatever of the society . He is merely the publican at whose house the society is held , and disburses the money to the sick members by order of the stewards . Mr Eknbst Jones contended that the defendaat , b y having the money paid over to him by the stewards after It was received from the plaintiff , was bonnd to acconnt to him for it . Tho boobs of the society had been brought thereto show in nhat poeitidfi the defendent stood ; and the stewards , secretary , and auditors were present to prove it . He contended the plea for the defence was untenable .
Mr WABMitf . —The defendant acknowledges receiving money from the stewards , who say that Mr Kitchen is £ 89 . In their debt , which he denies . This 10 s . is said to have been paid in for certain purposes , whilst at the very time it is said to have been paid ia , Mr Kitchen was disbursing fifty times the amount in paying the sick . As the whole seemed to be a matter of account bettreen the stewards and the defendant , that gentleman was ready to go into tho whole matter by a reference . Mr Eenbbt Jokes said , his client had no objection to such a course ; he denied that the defendant had any . thing to advance as a set-off against his ( plaintiff ' s ) claim , but he was willing to allow defendant all reason . able opportunity of accounting for the money . The Learned Jodge said he thought that would be the moat satisfactory way of settling it . lit WiauiH said he had a long Hit in his hand . Ths society claimed of his client £ 88 . 5 s . 9 d , , and his client had a claim against them of £ 176 .
The Learned Jodge said , that the court could cm . tainly not go inta so voluminous an account , but that as arbitrator had best be appointed , and he would grant full powers for that purpose , Mr Wabhak however contended the matter was beyond his Honour ' s jurisdiction , as the sum in dispute on tVie suVject of arVAtxation exceeded £ 200 . ; and fhat the plaintiff ought therefore to be put out of court , Mr Ernest Johes replied it was onl y 10 s . What other accounts it might involve was immaterial . The case was clearl y within the jurisdiction ofthe court . The Jodqb said that the 77 th section of the new Act gave him the power to award an arbitration in any case which he thought fit for arbitration , and whose award should be final , and as binding upon the parties as a judgment obtained in the court .
The secretary of the society said they were willing ia the first instance to have the matter settled by arbitration ; but it was objected to . They were willing to abide by the suggestion of the Learned Judge , He would suggest that Mr John Strachan , of the George , George , yard , be tbs arbitrator . The case was suspended until the 18 th of December , with the understanding that in the Interim the whole matter shall be referred to arbitration .
A Romance Of Ire Nineteenth Century. The...
A ROMANCE OF IRE NINETEENTH CENTURY . The French papers contain some particulars of a most extraordinary character , relative to a process against a band of marauders , sixty of whom , with thei : chief , Claude Thibert , are at present in custody in the different prisons of Paris , and whose trials are expected to occupy the whole of the ensuing session of the Court of Assize for tho Department ofthe Seine . The number of crimes imputed to the criminals , and which comprise murders by poisoning , stabbing , burglary , arson and indeed every ofivnee known to the law , is 207 ; and there are altogether 1 , 700 charges the whole extent of the band comprising , according to the statements of the police , more than 800 individuals , all
bound together in a sort of fraternity , and all engaged in different modes of plunder , and united in one wicked object . One mode adopted by tho criminals was to ravel throughout the kingdom , having tight vehicles built expressly for the purpose . They attended the fairs with merchandise , taking care to have their papers all regularly signed , or obtaining forged ones , and in many cases were looked upon as honest dealers , as they uppesred to purchase and make sales with great regularity . While the men were thus employed , the female members of the gang , of whom there were considerable numbers , were engaged in going about the town where the fair was held , and the neighbourhood , disposing of stolen articles of jewellery and other property , and at the same timo ingratiating themselves
with the servants of the gentlemen s houses , and obtaining information with regard to the habits of the families , and where the greatest quantity of valuable plunder was likely to be obtained ; and by means of which information the male members of the gang were enabled to act with greater certainty . Each section of these desperate maefactors was accompanied by a certain number of villains , who were provided with laudanum and several other deadly poisons , to stupify , or , if necessary , even to destroy , those whom they pitched upon as their victims . Another equally dangerous portion ofthe gang are those known as the Koinanitrfn . )? , or the Black Band , socalledtrom the fact of their being all of Gipsy extraction , and from their offences being only committed during the night . These are all men who
have been sentenced to the galleys , and either escaped or broken their ban , as it is termed , that is , withdrawn themselves from the surveillance of the police ; and ' many of them have undergone several convictions , and their position being thus rendered desperate , they wouli appear to be tbe devoted enemies of all law ; and against this portion of the baud of malefactors the most graft charges are presented . In the case of one ofthefemo ' c members ofthe band being delivered of a child , themo f * they adopted was to represent tbtmselves as respectable merchants or traders , and in that capacity they placed the child to nurse with some respectable person , paying all expenses most liberally , and at their departure payiag three or four months' allowance la advance , and promising to return at the expiration of that period to remove the infant , which , of course , was never done . H se-ms , however , that although anxious to relieve tben > selves from the charge of maintaining tho infant at a Period of its life when it could not further their designs w
fraud , that the children so deposited were never lost sight of , but as soon as they arrived at the age of ten or twelve years , they either managec , to steal them a «« J > or else insisted upon their parental rights , and obta ined possession of the child by paying a portion of the amoun t of arrears due for Us sustenance . The principal of tbl » band is Claude Thibert , a man , forty-iiv * years old , « sff attained his position by his acknowledged super iority orer his companions in audacity and crime . His moibe died fn prison at Grenoble , and his father on sM fold , and from his earliest infancy he has followed on » continual career of crime . This eulprlt generally « veiled with two large carriages , which were mos tly nu with stolen property , aud he had three large depow ' different towns , each of which was found to be iuu valuable stolen property . The trial of this wno malefactors is looked forward to with the utmost in > rest , as it is expected that the most extraordinary « lations will be made in the couno of the proceeding * .
