TT IS a strange anomaly in the practice and progress X of medical science in this country , that amongst all the benevolent and noble institutions established for the alleviation of human misery , there exists hot one devoted to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of the Skm . It is a truth well known to the member * of the faculty , that the raviges of these stubborn and enduring plagues of humun life are more extensive than those ef any other known disorder , there being little short of haif-a-million of patients an nually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject fitly recognised , and the exertions of men of science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St .

THE LATE MURDER IN ST . LUKE'S .
Harriet Parker, Who Stands Charged With ...
Harriet Parker , who stands charged with the wilful murder of Ribert Henry Bhke and Armenia Blake , the two children ef Robert II . Blake , with whom she had been previously cohabiting , wagon Saturday last finally examined before Mr Tyrwuitt , the sitting magistrate , at the Clerbenwell Poliee Court . The wretched woman , when brought into the court , walked boldly into the dock , and having coolly surveyed the numerous assemblage in the crowded court , seated herself in the seat provided for her .
The first witness called was Robert Henry Blake , the father of the murdered children , who repeated the evidence he gave at the openina of the inquest os Saturday , the 1 st instant . —Mr Tyrwhittt at the conclusion of the evidence , asked the prisoner if she wished to put any questions to tho witness . —The prisoner firmly said / I want to ask him whether he is sure that it was lead tied up in the corner of my handkerchief , as he has stated , when I was following him aboot as he has described . '—Blake—I am not , but I believe that it was . —Prisoner—It was not ; it was a square piece of tile . That is all I have to ask . Jane Jonc , a genteel looking young woman , about twenty years of age , was the next witness examined . She repeated the evidence she gave atthe inquest on Monday last . —The prisoner declined pu'ting any question to that witness .
John Hewlett was the third witness . He also repelted the evidence he had given at the inquest . The witnesses having signed their depositions , Mr Tyrwhitt addressed the prisoner and informed her that she was at liberty to make any statement she pleased , but it was at the same time his duty to tell her that whatever she might think proper to say would be taken down in writing , and in all probability used against her at her trial . The prisoner then rose from her seat , and in a 6 rm voice said , ' I merely wish to state why I followed Blake . He came home at a quarter before five in the afternoon of the 31 st of December , and said to me , ' Make haste and get the tea , and get me some wattr to wash , for . I ' m in a burry , and have
got to meet a girl at the too of Old-street . I am going to take her to the play . ' I then said , * If that's the case , you may go to her to make your tea , for I won ' t ' after which he washed himself and went out , and I followed hira to the Duke of Bedford , where he said he had to be at tho stump or post at fifteen minutes after five . I said I would follow and see his party , and he said , ' Then come , she will not be ashamed of looking' at you , ' and then we went away , me and him and Hewlett to the post , where Blake said , ' This stump knows me , and I'll kiss it for the sake of them I ' m going to see ; ' and hedidkissit . and he looked at Hewlett , and laughed , and said ( pointing to me ) , what do you think of her ? She is jealous . ' Hewlett laughed , and made
some remark , and hoped we should be comfortable . Wo had previously been in a liquor vault and had some gin . Well , from the stump we came down Goswell-streefc , when Blake said , ' Hewlett ( alluding to me ) , I can get her monkey up at any time ; I ' m going to meet a little wench . ' lie went down Fannstreet , and back to the Duke of Bedford , and I lost sight of him up to to-day . ' The prisoner here raised her voice , and pointing to Blake and Jones , said' Him and that woman there has been the cause of all our misfortunes , and the death of the children lies at their door . Uatil he became acquainted with her we had plenty , hut during the fortnight he knetv her , me and the children had nothing to eat bat bread and dripving . Thst is all . '
Mr Tyrwhitt theh ' eommitted her to Newgate for trial . Previous to her departure , she said to Waddington , the gaoler , she wished to be hanged , and hoped she vrouldnot bo transported . Her firmness astonished every one in court . The remains of the two children murdered by Harriet Parker were on Friday buried at St Luke ' s . The father had separated from his wife , and was living with Parker . They both , however , followed their children to the grave . The husband has received a letter from the Rev . George Jepson , chaplain , containinz a confession of Harriet Parker , respecting part of her former conduct towards Blake's wife , from which the following is an extract : — House of Detention , Jan , 7 , 1818 .
Robert Blake—I am requested by Harriet Parker to write to you , and express from her the regret she feels at tho course of life she has led in connection with jourself during ihe last three years . She wishes to remind you of a letter you received goon after yeur separation from your wift > , insinuating , or stating , that she had been un . faithful , and that the child to which she was about to give birth was not your own . Harriet Parker states that she wrote the letter , for caused it to be written , ) in order [ to confirm the separation ef yourself and wife ; that the charge contained in it was false , and that she never knew anything affecting your wife ' s character . She now makes this statement as the only reparation she can make to your injured wife .
Execution Of Thovfas Sale. Thomas Sale, ...
EXECUTION OF THOVfAS SALE . Thomas Sale , the convicted murderer of the late Mr Bellchambers , was hung on the drop in front of Newgate on Monday morning last . Any anxiety which may have been felt as to the fate of the wretched man , arising from his continued protestations that he was innocent , have fortunately been entirely dispelled , a full confession of his participation in the crime , and an admission that his was the hand which struck the Wow , having been made by the convict to the rev , ordinary of the gaol at a late hour on Sunday evening .
At the conclusion of the religious services in the chapel , Sale appeared considerably depressed . At ten o'clock on Sunday night , at the convict ' s request , Mr Davis was sent for . The reverend gentleman immediately attended , and In reply to Sale ' s observation that he felt very wretched in his mind , and unable to approach his God , Mr Davis told him that unless he spoke the whale truth it was not possible that he could do so . The assassin then at once said , ' M'Coy ' s statement is true ; I struck the How . Lloyd knew 1 did bo , but M'Coy did not . The agreement was that M'Coy should rob the man , and that Lloyd and myself should remain with him . I struck the blow , but I did not mean to murder the man . ' After making this statement , the culprit appeared mora collected , and , by his request , the rev . ordinary wrote for him a letter to the woman with whom he cohabited , and by whom he has had two children , as also a letter to his parents . The letters are as follow : —
Condemned Cell , Newgate , 20 m to 11 p . m . , January Sib , 18 * 8 . Dear Father and Mother , —Hoping to find you as well aa I am at present , considering my unhappy situation , I write this letter to you . I hope my brother William and my sisters will be good children towards you and comfort you . "When my poor brother Henry has got his liberty , * I hope bn trill be dear to yoa . Dear mother , I hope you will protect my poor children . 1 could earnestl y beg your prayers for my wicked soul , if It were possible . Had I taken your advice and my father ' s , I should not hare bsen bore . I pray that the blessed Lord may receive my guilty saul . I hare sunt you a lock of my hair—a portion of it for my wife , .,. Your unhappy but affectionate son Mrs Sale . ,. Thomas Sale . P . S . —I wish my father to have my shirt and black handkerchief .
Condemned Cell , Newgate , January 9 th , 1818 , 10 m . to 11 p . m . Dear Wife , —I send you those last lines in the hope they will find you ns well as I am at present , excepting the awful condition in which I am unhappily placed . Had I taken your advice , my dear girl , I should never have been here . It Is no fault of yours . I have left you with two children on the wide woria , I hope you will go home to your friends in Yorkshire . If you get married again , I hope you will marry a religious man , and not such a blackguard as I have been . Qod bless you and my children ! Your unhappy but affectionate husband , TH 0 JIA 8 SAIiB .
The ordinary having concluded the above letters , Sale requested that one of his handcuffs might be removed . Mr Davis , feeling satisfied that the wretched man was in a much more composed state ofmindthaa he had hitherto been , recommended that the handcuff * should be taken off alto-ether which was accordingly done . Shortl y afterwards the reverend ordinary having taken his departure Sa ' e threw himself on his couch , where he passed a somewhat , restless night . lie woke early on Monday morning , and conversed for some time with the two turnkeys in attendance .
, The ordinary was with him at 6 o ' olock . and entered into the proper devotional exercises with the unhappy man . Sale , during an interval of cessation , requested aa a particular favour that he might be allowed an interview with M'Coy : and as Mr Davis

nugatory .

Lucioni replitd that the number of children , of both sexes , and lads , wa j about 400 . In the course of the spring ho had information of
an influx of about 700 more of these unhappy creatures : Ho said the fathers ot the children were tempted by a small loan of money , and generally being unable to repay the loan , the proposal was made togiveup ri 16 use of these children for a stated period . The ChildriU were collected in barracoons about the time when the padrone returned from England , and then were handed over to their respective masters . Mr Hardwick having ascertained the name of the boy ' s padrone directed a warrant for his appearance on the following Wednesday . A person came forward and stated that he wouM answer for the readiness of the padrone to attend wi * out any warrant .
