DISPENSARY FOR THE CORE OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOUS AFFECTIONS , Haxpstead Stseet , Fitzsoi Squabs . PivAc-an—THOMAS 1 NNIS , M . D ., 33 . Filzroy square , Jfcmherifihe Royal College of Surgeons , London ; late Assistant Surgeon in tie Son . East India Company ' s Service . IT IS a strange ansmalyin tbe practice and progress of medical science in this country , tbat amongst all the benevolent and noble institutions established for the alleviation of human misery , there exists but one devoted to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of the Skin . It is s truth welt known to the members of the ^ faculty , tbat the ravages cf these stubborn and enduring plagu-. s of human life are more extensive than those ofany other kcotni disorder , there bung little short of balf-a-million of patients amually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject fa ly recognised , and the exertions of men of science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St . Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to the cure of SMn Diseases , a clever Surgeon if the present day writes thus : — 'Since the grave has closed over the labours of Batemaa , the -culture bf Diseases of tht Skin in this country , as a distinct branch of Kedical Science , has slept . Not so in France : successor after successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has glided through the moving panorama of life , frem the days ot Lorry to our own , till St . Louis Hospital has become no less deserving of fame than St Louis , the tutelary shade of that magnificent establishment " Surely here is an example to this country which we are bound jealously to emulate . The writer feels that the nuHVtance and necessity of a simlar establishment in England can ne « er be too ranch insisted upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and the almost in urmountable difficulty of acquiring accurate knowledge as to their modes of treatment—connected with the immense numbers of the suffering parties- . render this desideratum actually the greatest under which these islands fit presant labour , inasanfl '* ry point ol view . These diseases are so numerous at ^ multiform ia appearance and effect , and present such an infinite variery in diagnosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies from the uncertain results of individual and scattered practice . Notwithstanding the Iandable endeavours of the various British Authors who have written upon this subjectand the highest talent has not been wanting in the respect—still , of actual curative progress little or nothing has been achieved ; and this , plainly , from the want ot a theatre of action , where the operations and results of curative appliances might be ocularly tested , compared , and treasured op in the garner of experience . Hear Dr Watson on this subject : — ' To tecome expert , ' says he , 'in the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in curing such of them as are curable by our art , you must see tte » teUh your ou » i eyes . Terbal descriptions of their cliangcftd characters are of comparatively little service or intirest They are among the things that require to be « oeAis stdqeita fidelUms . ' Even pictures representations convey but an inadequate notion of the morbid appear , asces they are designed to ponrtray . The lecturer on Skin Diseases should have patients before him to whose bodies hecould point The opinions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of these Wews . Writers may classify and sub-classify , and arrange under grnera and species , as the late Dr Willan and Ms pupil , Dr Bateman , have done , with consummate skill and unwearied industry , but wanting the means of reference to actual cases and personal observation and comparison , their efforts are thrown away , and the ravages of disease unabated . Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to afford an opportunity to all who may be desirous of co-operating with him in the advancement of this hitherto neglected departmentof medical science , Dr lonis has opened the . above-namedDispensary at Hamp-Btead-street , Fittroy-sqaare . Hoping to see the day when we shall not be behind our French neighbours in the means of investigation afforded by the establishment of an ample institution exclusively dedicated to the treatment of Cutaneous Diseases , Dr lonis , in the meanwhile , earnestly invites all who feel interested in this important subject not to despise the' day of smaU things , ' but to unite with him at once in carrying out this infant Institution , which has for its immediate and special object the testingofthe principles upon which ourforegone practice has been based , with the actual operations of nature under disease . Shortly icW . be published , A TREATISE ON SKIN DISEASES , And all Cutaneous Affections , arising from functional derangement of the digestive organs , degenerated state of the blood , or other causes ; By Tjjomas Isjjis , JI .

Extract of a Letter from Mr Charles Ftlson , 30 , Prtneee Street , Glasgow , dated February Utft , 1817 . To Professor Helloway . Sir , —Having taken your pills to remove a disease of the Stomach and Liver , under which I had long suffered , and having followed your printed instructions I have regained that health , wbich I had thoaght lost for ever . I had previously had recourse to several medical men , who are celebrated for their skill , but instead of curing my Complaint , it increased to a most alarming degree . Humanly speaking your pills have saved my life ! Many tried to dissuade me from using them , and I doubt not but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent medicine , in consequence of the impositions practised by many worthless wretches ; but what a pity it is that the deceptions used by others , should be the means of preventing many unhappy persons , under disease , frem regaining health , by the useof your pills . When I commencedthe use of your pills I was in a most wretched condition , and t » my great delight , in a few days after , tranlc . * 1 ™>~ -atas a considerable change for tne Oetter , and by continuing U use them for some weeks , I have been perfectly restored to health , to the surprise of aU who have witnessed the state to wbich 1 had been reduced by the disordered state of the Liver and Stomach ; would to God that every poor sufferer would avail himself of the same astonishing remedy .

The boy is eight years of age , of strumous or scrofuleus constitution . He sei-ms to have had a pleurisy , which ended in a large collection of matter in the chest , which eventually formed a passage through the wales of the chest , which ended in three fistulou sores , which continued to discbarge large quantities of pus up to Hay , when he was induced to try jour medicines ; at this date he was in an apparent dying condition , and in the highestdegree of Marasmus or Consumption . He had severe hectic fever , the urine depositing large quantities of sediment—constant distressing cough—no appetite —and the stomach rejecting nearly everything he took , both food and medicine , he began by taking five of your pills night and merning , which were gradually increased to ten , which in a short time had the effect of completely curing the cough , thestomach affections , and restoring the urine to its natural state . His strength and flesh are also restored , and his appetite keen and digestion good . ( Signed ) Robert Calvbbt . THE Earl of Aldborough cared of a Liver and Stomach Complaint .

He was afterwards taken to the station-house , and charged with knocking at doors and ringing bells , an accusation utterly groundless ; and the inspector , on hearing his . explanation , liberated him , and advised him to apply there again for redress . On the following morning the defendant called and asked his pardon , begging that he would not appear against him , as he had a large family , and they
would be ruined . Witness extended his hand and forgave him . The affair , however bad reached the ears of tbe commissioners , and he was now reluctantly in attendance at their Instance . Sergeant .

Defendant ; I certainly did strike the man , and am very sorry . —Mr Tyrtvbltt remarked that it was a very proper case to be publicly dealt with , and as it was necessary the police should know the use of the truncheon be should fine the defendant 10 s , He knew that his dismissal from tbe force would follow that conviction , or the penalty would have been £ \ t .

He admitted having taken the pears , and was very sorry , but the other boy was quite as old as he . Mr Paynter asked the prisoner what he earned a week , and he replied Ids . The largeness of tbe sum , compared with the youth of tbe workman , appeared to create some suspicion in tbe magistrate . Mr Paynter observed that tbe prisoner was liable to an imprisonment of six months ; but as this was his first offence , ho should fine him 19 s . and the value . of tbe pears , and in default commit bim to Kingston gaol for fourteen days .

WORSHIP-STREET . —Iwwitoos Conduct or thi Police . —Patrick Hurley , a labouring man , was placed before Mr Hammlll , charged with having resisted and assaulted poliee-constable Jessop , H 215 , in the execution of his duty . The policeman stated , that while on duty In Thrall-etreet , Spttalfields , between eight and nine o'clock oh the preceding evening he saw » number of young men standing beneath a lamp-post gambling with halfpence , and observing a boy in the act of climb , tag up the post , with the apparent intention of putting out the light , he pulled bim down and gave him a slight push which caused him to fall . An immediate outcry was raised that he had kicked and killed the boy , which brought out the mother of the lad from an adjoining houe who commenced abusing him for ilUiing her
s , child and called out the prisoner , who advanced to . ward s bim with a pair of tongs , with which he struck him several blows , and retreated back into . tbe house , the doer of which he-secured . While endeavouring to effect an entrance he was assailed with a shower of brickbats and mlgtiles from a mob of at leait 150 persons , who had collected , and was compelled to use his truncheon In self-defence , until another officer came up , when the prisoner ' voluntarily placed himself in tbe charge of the latter , and was conveyed to the stationhoused In cross-examination the policeman admitted having struck the wife of the prisoner upon the head with the truncheon , when her husband entered the house , causing ' a wound Which bled profusely , but declared that bonad attacked him first , and that his hands
bore the marks of her nails . Mr Taun , who appeared for tbe defence , ' said be was not only instructed to give a total denial to the charge , but that he had numerous witnesses in attendance , who would prove that the policeman had acted with such , a degree of wanton and brutal violence as manifested him to be a person wholly unfit to discharge the duties of his situation . —Charles Brackley a cabinet-maker ; was then called , and stated that at the time in question he saw the prisoner's ton , a boy of eight years of age , playing with schoolfellows near bis father ' s doer , when tbe policeman came up , seized bim by tbe collar , . and , having repeatedly slapped his face , kiolred him violently , and knocked him down in the road . On bearing the cries of her son , the prisoner ' s wife came out , and asked the constable
what he meant by such conduct , when he instantly struck her in the face , and on ber husband interfering for her protectien , he was also assaulted in a similar manner . The prisoner instantly retreated into his house , and his wife was in tbe act of following him , when the constable struck her ' such a violent blow upon the head with his truncheon that the blood streamed from the wound , and sbe fell back into tbe arms of a bystander , who conveyed her to the house of the nearest surgeon , where her wounds were dressed . On observing the treatment bis wife had sustained , the prisoner immedi . ately sent for the policeman to protect him from the complainant's violence , but before the arrival of tbe lat . tar the complainant commenced dealing indiscriminate blows with ; his truncheon upon the persons surrounding him , amongst whom the witness received a severe bruise , and afterwards burst open the prisoner ' s door with such violence tbat the hinges were forced off . The constable whom the prisoner had sent for having by
that time come , tbe prisoner immediately placed himself under his charge , and proceeded quietly to the stationhouse . Two respectable married women , named Bewley and Sedgwick , confirmed the evidence of the last witness in every particular . —Mr Hammill , however , said tbat be had heard sufficient to satisfy him that the policeman bad grossly exceeded his duty in assaulting a child of such tender age ia the manner it was proved that he had done , and tbat tbe prisoner bad only acted with tbe natural feelings of a father in interfering for its protection . With regard to his subsequent violence towards the child ' s mother , he was unable at present to enter upon it , but should at once order tbe prisoner himself to be discharged , and direct an immediate representation of the facts to be forwarded to the proper authoi ities , who would no doubt cause a searching investigation to be instituted into the conduct of the constable . —Inspector Ellis intimated that a report ef the case , together with the magistrate ' s observations , would be im . mediately laid before the Police Commissioners .
LAMBETH . —George Green , a well-dressed young man , was placed at the bar , before Mr Elliott , on the following charge : —Mrs Sarah Groom , a iady , residing at No . 165 , Southwark-bridge-road , deposed tbat , about ten o ' clock on the night before , while passing along the Brtfge . road , Lambeth , in company with her tiro daughters , she noticed the prisoner standing in front of one of the public-houses , in company with a female . In passing them , the female , without the slightest provocation , put her foot out , and attempted to trip up one of her daughters . Witness asked her what she had done it for , and the prisoner struck one of her daughters a violent blow on the mouth , and attempted to snatch a gold chain from the other . She followed him through several streets , calling ent police , and a constable coming
up , she gave him into custody . In ber cross . examination by Mr Games , who appeared on behalf of the pri . soner , Mrs Groom admitted that the pelkeman , 1 S 9 L , had hesitated before taking tbe prisoner into custody , and tbat it was not until two other constables came up that he received her charge . Sbe swore positively that she told the policeman about tbe attempted robbery upon her daughter when he first came up , and had mentioned it also at the station-house when tbe prisoner bad been taken there . The two daughters of Mrs Groom , and two other witnssses , corroborated ber statement . Tbe constable , 159 L , denied that Mrs Groom had mentioned anything about the prisoner having attempted to snatch away the chain , when she first wished him to
take him into custody , and that all she complained of was , that of being abused herself , and her daughter being assaulted . A disinterested witness swore , as positively that be had heard Mrs Groom tell the witness about the attempted robbery ; and sergeant Goff deposed to the prisoner being tbe associate of notorious thieves , that he had himself turned him tut of Vauxhall Gardens for being a suspected character , and tbat be had been before in custody on charges of felony , Mr Games addressed the bench at some length , and pointed out some discrepancy between Mrs Groom , and her daughters . Mr Elliott said he was perfectly satisfied of the prisoner ' s intention to commit a felony , and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour .
MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Charge ov Violence against TBI Police , —Buckmaster , E . 149 and Ken . nedy , E . 151 , were charged with having used unnecessary violence toward * J , Perryan , and his wife , nbom they had taken into custody on Saturday night , the 2 Gth September last , The case had been previously heard , when J . Perryan , of 4 , Rebecca-court , Wells-street , stated that he was the ewmr of several houses In Rebecca-court . On the night above specified / at a late hour , he was about to close hit house , when he saw some of his lodgers iu tbe court wrangling together . Witness requested tbe parties to go into the house , and Mrs Perryan having come out to learn the cause of the disturbance , joined in the request . Tha police came up —the two defendants and a sergeant—and two of the
constables commenced shoving Mrs Perryan about . Witness told tbe constable she was his wife , who was merely trying to persuade some of the lodgers to go in quietly . At soon as witness had spoken to the constable , the other constable , E 149 , called oat , ' We will above you about presently , ' Kennedy , E 151 , thrust his hand into witness ' s neckcloth , and twisted it , so as nearly to strangle him . Ha told the constable he would go quietly with htm If ho had any charge to make . He walked on a abort distance , and his handkerchief was again tightened by Kennedy , assisted by the other defendant . Witness heard Kennedy call the other constable on to tho charge , and he ras off . Witness afterwards heard his wife scream , and heard the mob cry ' Shame ! ' Other witnesses corroborated this evidence ,
deposing also to the violence with which Mrs Perryan had been treated ; and on Tuesday Sarah Perryan deposed that otHhe night in question she went with her husband' to quiet some of the lodgers . There was a dtunken woman in the court , who was pursuaded to go into tho house , and immediately afterwards the two defendants and their sergeont came down the court Buck , master , without saying a word , caught hold of her by tho shoulder and pushed her , replying only with an oath to her husband ' s remonstrance . The defendant Ken . nsdy , laid hold of witness ' s husband ; witness was dragged by the sergeant and Buckmaster up the court , and when at the top Buckmaster let go and went to assist Kennedy , but afterwards came back , and again began dragging her . Kennedy called out give it her , ' at tbe same time using an oath . She was then struck on the head with a truncheon by Buckmaster , and knocked down nearly senseless . The constabl e struck
her several blows on tho head and bod y , and then thrust the handle of his truncheon into her mouth breaking soma of her teeth . The sMyennl put up hi < arm , and called out to Buckmaster with an oath , « if you go on ill-using the woman this way you will kill her beforo you get her to the station-house . ' No one struck Buckmaster . Other witnesses corroborated this statement . R . Clements was overlooker of the sewer works In Rebecca-court . Oa the night in question witness heard a great disturbance near Rebecca-court . Saw a temalo iu custody . There was a mob of 100 or 150 persons present . The mob threw brickbats in all directions , apparently directed against the police . The police-constable did not do anything more than was necessary .

Mr Hardwick considered that the evidence disclosed the fact of unnecessary violence having been

Snapping Of The Rope In The ' Shafts Of ...
SNAPPING OF THE ROPE IN THE SHAFTS OF COALPITS . 10 THE KDITOB OF THE NOBTHBBN STAB . Sib , —In your notice to correspondents of the Star of the 11 th of September , I read a letter wherein your correspondent asks ' whether you or any of your correspondents have discovered a plan , or invented a machine , whereby the lives of miners may be saved in cases where the rope breaks , when ascending or descending tbe shaft !'
If the question has not been answered I beg to pro * pose what hat often appeared desirable ; when I hava read of persons being drowned In the locks of our several canals . I would advise that the locks in question should have a lining of iionwork , resembling the tiling of a net ( the trammel-net , I think , is the kind intended , but most fishermen well-know the kind I mean , ) and then the persons getting into the water might clasp hold of the said lining or lattice-work , and so climb to terra firma , making even boy ' s play of it Equally so might the miners , upon the snapping of the rope , easily take hold of the net-work in any stage of their passage whether upwards or downwards , and so climb or pass to their destination , whether one way or the other .
Cast Iron It not an expensive article , but whether wrought iron be not most proper for such a purpose remains to be considered by the parties carrying the plan into operation . The desirability of giving the net-work a good coating of . paint will also occur to the minds of the said parties . I may add tbat this contemplated iron work should also be laid round tbe entrance ofthe . shaft , a sufficient distance , to afford the otherwise unfortunate parties aa opportunity of effecting a safe landing . I remain , sir , Yours , in the bonds of philanthropy , Jobs BatleT . Letter ii .
Sib , — Since my letter of the 29 th ult . I have reflected that the' circular ladder' or lining of the shaft being of iron might be attended with ill-convenience on account of its weight , therefore , 1 have supposed that its being of hempen fabrication , similar to the ladders used on ship board might answer the purpose . The upright lines , of course , must be stronger than the cordage or roping of which the staves might consist , which may be of the usual distance from eaeh other , similar to tho ladders in general use , from which provision I cannot but conclude that no miner , exercising ordinary caution , need fail a sacrifice upon tbe emergencies in question , I have not an exact copy of the above-mentioned letter by me , therefore , I am not aware whether I hava mentioned the distance which the said ladder ought to be placed from the sides of the shaft . I may be permitted , therefore , to remark , that four or fire inches may afford sufficient security for the free exercise of the hand .
There neat remains to be considered the time which a ladder of such material may be supposed to endure so as to be safely relied on ; after which , to be replaced by another . Yours , in the bonds of philanthropy , John BATter . Wybanbury , Cheshire , Oct . 4 th .
ITALY AND POLAND . TO TUB EDITOR OP THE NOETHEEN STAB . Deab Sib , — . The Imperial acts of cruelty at present being perpetrated upon the unfortunate Poles , and the determination ef the Austrian despot to subjugate Italy , ought to have tho deepest consideration of every honest and contemplating Englishman . The attempts of the Austrian despotism to thediffe . rent countries is nothing new . That state is the same which sought to obliterate the Swiss people frem the faceof theit native country in the 13 th century ; but tba Swiss found in the noble William Tell , a leader fitted to lead them to freedom .
The Poles , who have long been trampled upon by tha flagitious Autocrat of Russia , cannot much longer bo kept in subjection . The fraternity of nations is rapidly progressing , and the hour is not far distant when the tocsin will summon all nations to march shoulder to shoulder against their oppressors .

Moylan , Esq ., to recover one week ' s rent of the defendant , for the use and occupation of furnished apartments . The defendant pleaded that , in consequence of the beds and other articles of furniture being infested with extremely troubleaome occupants , he did not hava ' quiet' possession ; and that the apartments being uninhabitable , he was justified in quitting without notice , and was no longer chargable with the rent . In support of the plea , Miss Austin and Sarah Wilkins , the servant , were examined , and proved that the apartments were actually besieged by vermin , who not only made their appearance at night , but even in the day time . They came in such multitudes that no sleep could be obtained ; and it frequently happened that when Miss Austin
appeared in the breakfast-room , numbers of noxious insects were taken from her clothes . The plaintiff was told ot the nuisance , and the bedstead was taken down and cleaned , but in a few days the unpleasant population reappeared , and tbe defendant left without giving any notice . The plaintiff denied that tho bedstead and furniture was ever in the state described . He had frequently slept on the bed , and had never been molested , and the late Lord-Lies * tenant of Ireland had also slept in it , and had never complained . The learned j udge said that might be ; the insects might have had some respect for a Lord-Lieutenant , and had abstained from molesting him .
( Laughter . ) The learned judge said the plea was good , and having been established by evidence he must hold it to be a good answer to the action . Tho law was clearly laid dowainthe case of'Smithy . Marable , ' where the court held that the plea was good , and that tbe defendant was justified in leaving his furnished apartments at Brighton , on account of a similar nuisance rendering the lodgings uninhabitable , it might be possible that the plaintiff and the ate Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had not been molested ; but upon the evidence of Miss Austin , corroborated as it wag by the servant , he had no other alternative than to dismiss the case .
