VERY family ought to keep a constant supply of the J medicine , which if prepared from ingredients of this jnost healing , softenin * , and expectorating qualities , is a rich and plesant pectoral halsam , and has been given in numerous cases vrith singular success . The extraordinary power which it possesses in immediately relieving , and eventually curing , the most obstinate coughs , colds , hoarseness , asthma , and all complaints of the breath , is almost incredible , but will be folly proved on trial . In that unpleasant tickling cough , which deprives the sufferer so constantly of rest , it svill be found invaluable , as it instantly ullays the irritation , a single dose affording immediate relief , and in mest cases a single bottle effects a permanent cure . For the hooping cough , it will he fousd an invaluable remedy , depriving those harrassing spasmodic paroxysms of their violence , and from its powerful expectorant and healing qualities , speedily effecting a complete cure . During the periodical attacks of the influenza , which have so ofteu occurred during the winter , many individuals h > ve expressed to the proprietors that they have received material relief from its use , and it may be rer commended as a remedy of the first importance in that disease . Its effects in dissolving the congealed phlegm , and causing a free expectoration , is truly wonderful , and to persons afflicted withasthwa , and chronic coughs , which render it difficult for them to breathe in a recumbent posture , a single dose has beentound to enable them to rest witU comfort . If given in the early stage of consumption , it will speedily arrest and ultimately entirely remove the most dreadful malady . A single hottle will effectually establish its superiority over every other kind of cough m ; dicinein repute . EXTRAOKDISABY CASE OF CUBE . Dewsbury , Dec , 1815 .

My son Frederick , after an attack of measles was kft with a most distressing and severe cough , which almost deprived him of rest- His appetite forsook him , bis breathing became very difficult , and many friends considered his recovery perfectly hopeless .

BlSl'ENSAitY FUll tan CUUE UF DISEASES O THE SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOUS AFFECTIONS . Hahpstead Stbeet , FlTZEOY ScrJABE . Phytieian—THOMAS INNIS , M . D .. S 3 . Fitzroy square , Member of ( tie Royal College of Surgeons , London ; late Assistant Surgeon in the Son . East India Company 3 Service .- ~ . IT IS a strange anomaly in tha practice and progress of medical science in this country , that amongst all the benevolent and noble institutions established for the alleviation of human misery , there exists but ono devoted to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of tho Skin . It is a truth well known to the members of the faculty , that the ravages of these stubborn and enduring plagues of human life are more extensive than those ef any other known disorder , there being little short of half-a-million of patients ans \ iany seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject fu'Iy recognised , and the exertions ef men of science nobly countenanced and encouraged by the National Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St . Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to tie cure of Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeon of the present day writes thus : — Since the grave has closed over the labours of Bntcraas , tho CUlturs « f Diseases of tht Skia in this country ,-as a distinct branch of Medical Science , has slept . Not so in Branca : successor after successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has glided through the moving panorama of life , from the days ot Lorry to our own , till St . Louis Hospital has become no less deserving of fame than St i-onis , 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 mportanca and necessity of n simlar establishment in Engla » d can never be too ranch , insisted upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases , in question , and tho almost insurmouistable difficulty fof acquiring accurate knowledge as to their modus of treatment—connected with'the immense numbers of the suffering parties- -render this desideratum actually the greatest under which these Islands at present labour , in asana ' wy point ot auw . These diseases are so numerous ai imultiform in appearance and effect , and present such an infinite variety in diagaosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies from the uncertain results of individual and scattered practice . Notwithstanding tSie laudable endeavours of the various British Authors who have written upon this subjectand the highest talent has not been wanting in the res . pect—still , of actual curative progress little or nothing has been achieved ; 'and this , plainly , from the want of a theatre of action , where the operations and results of curative appliances might be ocularly tested , compared , and treasured up Im the garner ot experience . Hear Dr Watson en this subject : — ' To become expert , ' says he , 'i n the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in curing such of them as ^ re curable by our ar t , you must see them W « W ywr own eyes . Verbal descriptions of their dianqeful characters are of comparatively little service or interest . They aro among the things that require to be ¦ otvliseubjtetd fidelibus . '< Even pictured representations convey but an inadequate notion of the morbid appearances they are designed to pourtray . The lecturer on Skin Diseases should have patients before him te whose bodies he could point . ' The opinions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of these views . Writers may elassify and s ' ulwdassify , and arrange under genera and species , ' as tho IateDr Willan and his pupil , Dr Bate , man , 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-afiordan opportunity to all who m ' aybelesirous of co-operating with him ia the ¦ advancement of this hithartoineglected departmeat of medical science , Dr Innis has opened the above-named Dispensary at Harap . stead-street , Fitzroy-square . , Hoping to Sec the day when we shal Jnbt be behind our French neighbours in the meansof investigation afforded by the establishment of an ample institution exclusively dedicated-to i the treatment of Cutaneous Diseases , Dr Innls , in the meanwhile , earnestl y invites all who feel interested in this important subject not to despise the * day of small things . 'iut to unite with him at once in carrying out this infant Institution , which has for its immediate and special object the testing of the principles upon which our foregone practice has been based , with the actual operations of nature tinder disease .

The Loss Of The Avenger.
THE LOSS OF THE AVENGER .
At Length, By The Arrival Of The Levant ...
At length , by the arrival of the Levant mai ! , full particulars of tho wreck of the Avenger have arrived . Tho worst fears have heon realised : there ia no ground to hope that more than four persons have escaped . Our Malta correspondent , dating the 5 th inst , gives us the following information : — H . M . steam sloop Hecate arrived on the 2 nd from Tunis . Previously to entering the harbour , she signalised , * Have four of the Avenger ' s crew on boardrest all perished . ' These four proved to be the persona mentioned in my previous letter , Lieut . Rooke , the
gunner , a man , and a boy . The Hecate cruised about the Sorelli , visited the Island of Oiilita , the mainland of Africa , but not a vestige of any survivors could be found , nor any particle of the ill-fated ship . Sbe must have gone literally to pieces and every soul have perished . This loss has created a strong sensation here . Some hare lost relatives , many hare lost friends . A Mr Speed , a merchant here , was daily in expectation of embracing a younger brother , a cadet on board , whom bo had not seen for ten years . The total number lost is computed at about 250 . There were a number of officers , principally assistant-surgeons , seamen , and boys on board , as supernumeraries for the fleet .
We have been favoured by Lieut . T . W . Langton , the Admiralty auent on board tho Pasha , with the following narrative of hia parting intercourse with the captain of the ill-fated Avenger : — The Pasha arrived at Gibraltar shortly after noon on the day of the 17 th of December , and bavin ; landed the mail for that town , I proceeded by water to wait upon Captain Napior , tho senior officer ; on my way I met him in his gig , accompanied by a military officer of rank , going to call upon the governor , Sir Robert Wilson ; as I had the same duty to perform , I begged permission to accompany tbem . We landed at the Ragged Staff , and on our way I related all the English nans I ht . d to communicate . Captain Napier and myself were received by his Excellency , the military officer waiting for us below .
As I understood , the Avenger was detained in consequence of the non-arrival of the Indian , mail . He now received from the governor his despatches for Sir W . Parker , the commander . in . chief , and wo took eiir leave . In the event of our arriving before him , ho charged me with a message to Sir William Parker . As he expected a package by the packet , he sent o boat with an efficer to make the necessary inquiries , to whom I delivered the latest English papers in my possession , The Avenger steamed out of the New Molo about four o'clock , and shortly after rounded Europa point . The Pasha completed coaling , and by half-past nine the same evening proceeded . On the morning of the third day tho Avenger was seen , and continued so within a few hours of the dreadful catastrophe .
Tho following narrative , from ono of the survivors of tho wreck , has also been forwarded : — We were running at the rate of ten knots an hour , from Lisbon to Gibraltar , bound to Malta , when , on the night of the 20 th December , at four bells ( ten o ' clock ) , in the first watch , the ship suddenly struck on a reef of rocks . At this moment Captain Napier was on the paddle-box , talkiag to the master- Ehutonant Rooke , one of the survivors , was in bis cabin , in the act of taking off his coat . The gunner ( another survivor ) ran on deck i n a state of nudity . Immediately she struck , all hands rushed on deck ; as they did so , she heeled over on her broadside , the mainmast fell across the paddle-box boat , and no doubt a number of those engaged in clearing it away were hilled . The orew appeared completely
paralysed ; nothing was hoard but now and then an exclamation , 'Oh , God I oh , God t wears all lost . ' Heavy seas swept over the vessel , and scarcely a man could retain his hold . The last seen of Lieutenant Marryat was bis being washed from his hold , and carried away , with some twenty more , to leeward . At last , Lieutenant Rooke , the purser , second master , gunner , and four others , contrived to get into a quarter-boat . Here Providence interposed to save them ; in lowering tho boat the foremast fall got jammed , and the after ono going freely , the b » at had her stern in water and her bows in the air , when ft jacket belonging to ono of the men fortunately got into the sheave-hole of the after-fall , stopped it , and enabled them to cut the falls adrift . After push , ing off from the wreck , they endeavoured to regain her ,
to render such assistance as was possible , and to pick op any of the crew ; to approach her they found impossible . The wind blew a gale from the southward . The sea was very high , and breaking completely overtur . After re . maining as near as they could get for two hours , they bore away for Galito , distant about fourttoa miles ; an hour after tbey bad done so , the wind suddenly shifted to the north , and blew harder than it had 'done from the other quarter , This cempellcd them to boar up ogain , which they did , for the coast t f Bwbary . Ou their way they passed the wreck , over which the sea was making awfnl sweeps . Soon after daylight they made the coast of Barbary , having run all night under a small lug-sail , and eteered with an oar . In running the boat in , she grounded on a reef , and all hands were thrown out ; the boy , however , regained the boat , kept to her , and drifted
ashore alive . Of the remainder , only Lieutenant Rooke , the gunnir , and steward , were , saved . The others perished in the surf . The Arabs treated them kindly , dried their clothes , and gave them warm milk . After a repose they walked thirty six milea , till they could procure horses , on which tbey rodo to Biserta , Here they received every hospitality from the governor and the consuls . A boat took them to Tunia , whence S ) r Thomas Reade sent a despatch to Malta . Tho Hecate started immediately for thefatal spot , whither the Bey of Tunis bad already stnt vessels , but not a vestige of the wreck remained . It is supposed that , with the shift of the wind , she heeled ovor into deep water , and sunk . There are from thirty to fifty fathoms all round these rocks , which are steep to within a ship ' s Itngtb , The total number lost is 253 .

LAMBETH . — Thb AccmBNS oi » the Sooth- - ebn Railway . —Samuel Brownsmith , guard , WuHani Jones , engino-driver , and James Flemming , fireman , servants of tho Soutb-Wtslern railway , wera charged , by order of Cho directors , with having , by their nepH ; gence caused a serious collision on the line on Friday night week , which led to the death of David Markland , the engine-driver of a passenger train . The first witnens called was Mr Wm . H . Young , tho assistant super , intendontof the South Western line , who depoied Wat on the preceding evening he left Southampton at six o'clock in the up-paasenger train , and on arrivjng on Purbright Common , which is situated between the Farnfod
borough and Woking stations , something was "" amiss with the engine , and the train was stepped . The engine-driver , Markland , and the fireman got off tor * h purpose of repairing the injury to the engine ; and Wmting , the head-guard of the train , gave directions to M » under-guard , the " prisoner Brownsmith , in his ( witness's ) presence , to go bnck and signal the up-trainwi the same line of rails to stop , The prisoner did bo . When he had been gone about twenty minutes , witness heard , and iu fact saw the lights of a goods train coming towards the stationary train , and perceiving that the steam was not shut off , he ( Mr Young ) sent a clerk belonging to the company to stop it , but it came on at a tremendous rate , and ran into the passenger train . Tho shook was so
great that the carriages in the passepger train were separated , and some of them were forced off the line to a considerable distance Markland , the engine-driver , who was unfortunately under the engine at the time , was found to be quite dead , having received so serious an injury on bio head , that his death must have been instantaneous . The fireman was severely "injured , as were also several of the passengers . —Mr Elliott : Did you see the prisoner Brownsmith after he bad been sent to signil nnd stop the coming train ?—Mr Young : Yes , . Art he cameup after the accident , avid said he held up
bis bands with the red light , and called out as loud as he could , but could not make the driver or fireman on the goods train see or hear him , —Mr Elliott : Was it the duty of Brownsmith to have taken any other signal with him than that of the red light ?—Mr Young : Yes , s & -. Your worship will see by the 47 th rule of the regulations which are in the hands of every servant of the company , what his duty was . —Mr Elliott here read the 47 th rule , which was as follows : — 'Incase of any accident occurring , so as to Impede the progress of a train , the under-guard shall ha despatched to the nearest station astern the train to give . notice thereof , and in hia progross thereto , shall fit tt a distance of six hundred yards from the point of obstruction a signal to stop , and fog signal , so as to indicate danger to the coming train .
Measures should also be taken by sending the fireman , or any other available person , to advise the ajtent at the nearest station ahead of the occurrence . ' The fog signals . Mr Young described as detonating balls , which were to be placed'oai the rails at a distance hot greater than one hundred yards apart , and which the engine in passing over broke : thereby causing an explosion , which alarmed the persona in . charge of the trbih . Mr Young , in conclusion , said the directors of the line felt it to be their , . duty ,, under . the . circumstance , to I send the three prisoners before a magistrate . —William' ; Whiting deposed , that he was head-guard of the passenger train that lift Southampton for London at six o ' clock , on the evening before . The train came at its usual pace until about eight o'clock ; -when it arrived at Psrbright
Common , when the driver blew his whistle for stopping , and did stop ; witness got from hia usual place and found Markland , the - engine-driver , and the fireman on the line , ami the fireman said there was 9 omsthim » lth » matter with the engine which must be set to rights . He then requested witness to hold his lamp , and got underneath the engine . Previously to this , however , witness despatched hie under guard , Brownsmith , to signal the next up train to stop . Markland , oa ' examining the works of the enijlne , said the 'executor' had broken away , but he thought he would be able to set It to rights in three or four minutes . Ho . observed , him take away a portion of the engine that had broken away , and'boob after he sail , ' All is ready now ; see that your nancongers are all right . ' Witness then left the light alongside .
tho engine and went to look after the passengers , and Immediately after the goods train came np and ran right into them . Had the deceased come from under the engine at the time be said that all was ready his life would have been saved , and he could not say what was the cause of his staying there , but that he was under the engine at the time of the collision there could be no doubt . The witness added that , besides the signal sent out by Brownsmith , there were three signals at tho back part of the passenger train " that could be seen on such a night as that of Friday at a distance of a mile and a half at least , if not double the distance , and he ( witness ) was at a less to understand why it was , more particularly as they were on a high embankment , the prisoners Jones and Flemming did not see tbem in time to have stopped
and prevented the accident , It was the duty of the prisoner Brownsmith to have taken the fog signals and placed tbem on the line . —G . Tofeald , inspector of police on the line , said he took the prisoners Jones and Flemming into custody , at an early honr that morning , nnd Brownsmith ho also took into custody between nine and ten o ' clock . The former prisoners said that immediatel y before the acrident they were proceeding at the rate ot about twenty . five miles an hour , and had not seen any signals ) until they observed those behind the passenger train , and they were at that time too near to prevent an accident . The third prisoner did not make any remark that Vie recollected . —The prisoner Brownnniih , wno appeared a very smart fellow and intelligent man , said that when the train stopped he asked the head guard if
he should go back to signal the next train , and did so . Ho proceeded three quarters of a mile , when he saw the goods train coming , and made every effort to make the driver or stoker see the signal , or hear him , but could not see either of them on the engine . The fog signals were kept in a van , and a * the night waa not foggy , but , on the contrary , quite clear , and the stationary train on a high embankment , and easy to be seen at a consi . derable distance , he should say tbrre miles , be did not think of using any but the usual red signal . —The prisoner Jones , who is also an intelligent man , declared that the night was foggy , and that as soon as he saw f > e
signal at the back of the passenger train he reversed his engines , and used the utmost means within hie power to prevent a collision ; but owing to the shortness of the space , the greasy state of the rails , bis coming down an inclined plane , and his having behind him thirty-one trucks heavily | Iadcn with goods , that propelled him forward , in spite of all he could do , he could not avoid the collision . By keeping on his steam he said he was enabled to uie a much greater force to stop the train than by shutting it off . —Mr Elliott said he did not see that there was anything in the conduct of Brownsmith to justify his detention , but the other prisoners he should remand until a future day .
Removal of Pbisonebs . —Mr Young , the assistantsuperintendent of the South-western Railway Company , applied to Mr Elliott , at the request of the directors , for an order to remove the prisoners Jones and Fleming , in custody , on suspicion of causing the death of David Murklaud , to Woking , so thattheymightbepresentatthe coroner's inquest , to be holden that evening , to suggest any questions to the coroner and jury , or make etch statements as tbey might deem beneficial to them under the circumstances in which they were placed Mr Elliott replied that ho bad no power to give such an order , that
authority being invested only in the Secretary of State for the Home Department . —Mr Young naked if it was likely the governor of Horscmonger-Iane Gaol , in whose charge tho prisoner a were , would sanction their being taken down to Woking in proper custody , the directcrs being aniious that tbey should bo present to hear the evidence against them . —Mr Elliott replied he did not know , but Mr Young might wait on Mr Keen , and ask him the question . —Mr Young said . Uo would do so , but soon iifcer returned , and said the permission was refused .
The Innocent Convicted . —Henry Wenman , a stick manufacturer , was placed at the bar before Mr Ellio- t , < on a charge of receiving and disposing of a watch and gold chain , well knowing them to have been stolen . In the month of October last , a young woman , named Mary Ann Turnt , who had teen committed from this court , was found guilty , on apparently concluvivo evidence , of stealing a silver watth and gold chain , and sentenced to six months' imprisoment and hard labour at Brixton House of Correction . ¦ Nearly a month after her conviction , and while undergoing the punishment , a little urchin ( the son of the prosecutrix ) made a full confession that ho was the thief ; that his . uncle , Henry Wenman , ( the present prisoner ^ h . a . d dUp & aed ai property for 50 s . ; and that he ( the lad ) had spent the
money . Tho lad , whose name is James Wm . Ward , in consequence of this confession , was apprehended , and subsequently pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey , when he was sentenced to seven years' transportation , Sincehia conviction the lad has made some disclosures to tho chaplain of Milbank Penitentiary involving his uncle in the alleged guilt of receiving the silver watch and chain with a guilty knowledge and keeping 45 s . of the money received for himself , and this circumstance led to the prisoner's apprehension . The prisoner entered into a lengthened statement in his defence , said that the charge was brought through mere spite and malice , and declared he had sold the watch for the boy upon his
representation that his mother wanted the money for it and tint he gave the lad the whole of the money . . Mr Elliott remarked that the evidence before him proved the fact that the prisoner , when disposing of the watch , had given a false account of it , nnd it was also clear that the prisoner was perfectly aware of the fact that the young woman was innocent of the charge alleged against her ou tho day she was taken into custod y , yet It wee not until after her conviction and sentence to six months ' imprisonment that he disclosed the extraordinary fact Mr Norton had already taken some trouble In the case and was acquainted with the wVola of the circumstances ' and he should therefore remand tho prisoner for further examination .
Inhuman Robbebt . —Joseph Parnell , a little fellow whose head did not roach tha top of the bar 'of the felon ' s dock in which he was placed , waa charged with stealing eight sovereigns , belonging to his parents , and Sarah Walker , a middle-aged female , was also charged with receiving a part of the money , knowing It to ba ? e been stolen , and further , wlth unlawfoUyharbonringa child . —From the statement of the mother cif the ^ outh . til prisoner , which was corroborated by himself , fit ap . peared that , on the 5 th Instant , her eon absconded , tak . ing with him eight soweigns , which herself and h r husbaad had , with the greatest oaxo saved , and didio

The poor women ; , who seemed almost heart-broken , said that she hod eleven other children—six of whom were younger , than the pri . . .., aeore < rrem queguons ,, he had P"
soner ; that she worked hard at ironing from morning till night ; that her husband had also been obliged to work hard to support their largo ' family ; yet the fruits of msby years labour , and that which , they accumulated by ' slxpenCes and Shillings at a time , was now gone . — ¦ the only defence set np by the female prisoner was , that her boy had brought his fellow-prlsoner home , when the latter said he bad got no father nor mother , and that the money vnii his own , —Mr Elliott very much regretted the loss of the prosecutrix , and admitted the robbery in her case , and with so large a family , one of great hardship , He remanded the prisoners until Monday nest , but as the boy was so extremely young , only ten years old , he , on the application of the mother , allowed him to go homo till tha daj of re-eyiminatfon ,

Levett were charged with obtaining a ton of coals by false pretences , with intent to defraud Mr Sarjeant , of New Crane . wharf , Wapping-wall . The prisoner Barker was in the employ of Mr C . Marshall , a coal-dealer , in Cree Churek-lane , LeadenhalUtreet , and on the 10 th inst , he was sent with his master's horse aad cart , to fetch a ton of coals from Mr Serjeant ' s wharf . He left before six o'clock in the morning , but did not return till half-past ten , when . he accuuuted for his long absence by stating that his horse had fallen down , and that Levett , who was then with him assisting to get the
coals out of the cart had helped him up with his horse . Mr Marshall subsequently ascertained that Barker had called twice on the morning of the 10 th at the coal wharf and obtained a ton of coals . upon each occasion , bat only brought one ton to hit muster ' s shop . On being given into custody , Barker said in coming home from tho wharf with the first ton of coals he met with an old shipmate , who asked him if'he would have something to drink . -knd that he went into a publlc-honse and gave a mannamad' FrankMoore a shilling to drive the horse and cart home , but instead , of doing so he sold the coals . Mr Yardlay dUcharged lerett , and committed Barker for trial .

Mitchell , an engineer ; aged thirty , was charged with unlawfully intermarrying with Ann Esther Gore , hia first wife ; Emma Mitchell , being still aliver- ^ Rebecca'Kortb said » ho acted as bridesmaid at the marriage ot the prisoner to his second wife , Ann Esther Gere , at Rotherhithe Church , on Whitsun Mon . day , 1846 . . The parties had since lived together as man and wife . —The prisoner ' said his' second wife knew he waa a married man when she was united to him , He only lived with her a - short time , and had sot seen her for seventeen months . He returned to bis first wife , now

CLERKENWELL . — A Mithbblssb Baibw ; — A young woman named Matthews , was charged by a Mrs Leonard , the wife of a respectable mechanic—The complainant stated that the defendant had for several weeks 'importuned her for msney , alleging that she ( witness ) was her mother , for which statement there was not the slightest foundation . —The prisoner , in her defence , said her husband bad left her to seek for work , and she was in want . She added , that she had been brought up by a woman in the country , who told her that she had had her from her infancy to nurse , and that Mrs Leonard was her mother , and she therefore thought she had a claim on her . —Mrs Leonard ( laughing ) : Why she admits that she is twenty , two years old , ani as I am only thirty . four , is it likely I can be her mother 1—The magistrate said ; certainly not ; and having cautioned the defendant , and having obtained her promise that she would not repeat the annoyance , she was discharged .
WORSHIP-STREET . —MuEnsaous Comtsst . —J . Strange , was charged with having assaulted a market gardener , named Jeremiah Robiason , so brutally , that scarcely any hopes are entertained of hia recovery . The prisoner waa taken into custody at the instance of Mr Clark , surgeon , of Hackney , who is attending the injured man . Two certificates Wire produced , one dated that i & j , stating that he was very much worse , and that unless a favourable change took place within twenty-four hour ? , the case must terminate fatally . Mr Combe , on ascertaining that fact , immediately proceeded with Mr Vine , the chief clerk , in a cab , to the residence of Robinson , and took his deposition , as follows . —* Between three and four e ' clock on the
afternoon of Thursday , I went into the tap-room of the Dolphin , where the prisoner was seated , in company with two other persons . I sat down at the opposite sifleof the room , and commtneed smoking , when the prisoner threw something at me , and broke my pipe , I called for another one , which the prisoner broke in the same manner . The prisoner then advanced towards me nnd struck me a violent blow on the right eye , and followed it np with another blow in tha pit of tho stomach , which took away my breath so that I was unable to stand . He afterwards struck me such a terrible blow at the bottom of the short ribs on the left side that I was compelled to lie down , and have suffered acute pain ever since . I managed at 1-ist to crawl into the yard , and was assisted home , where I hare been
since confined to my bed , under the care ef a surgeon . I have known the prisoner for a long time , and do not believe that he intended to injure mo to such an extent . ' —In answer to the charge , the prisoner said that the complainant commenced a violent attack upon him in the first instance , which he was endeavouring to repel in the best way he could , when bis antagonist sustained a heavy fall , in which his side came in contact with the edge ef tho table , and thereby occasioned the injuries . He then called two witnesses , who confirmed his statement that the injured man had used provoking and threatening language to the prisoner . The prisoner was remanded , but Mr Combe consented te admit him to bail , himself in 2001 . and two sureties in 100 J . each .
MARLBOROUGH STREET . —Leamington to London in Twelve Hours . —Cbueltx to x Hobsb . —Edward Nuod , Esq ,, of Leamington , was summoned before Mr Hardwiek for having ou the 10 th instant wantonly and cruelly ill-treated and beaten a horse , in the parish of St George ' s , Hanover-square , of which ill-usage the animal afterwards died . —Mr Thomas , secretary to the Royal Society for the . Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , said MrNucn had admitted that he had ridden the mare from Leamington to London for a wager—ten to one were the odds . Witness had evidence to prove the great cruelty that had been exercised , and also that the mare had soon afterwards died . Mr Nuan wished to compromise the matter , but the society felt that this was a case which ought to be prosecuted , and they had
determined to listen to no representations of . the . sort , — MrNunn pleaded guilty to the charge . —James Borland said he saw the defendant in Bond-street on Sunday night . Mr Nunn came from the direction of Brutonstreet . The animal had a man on each side of it . One with a stick waa beating it . Mr Sunn was spurring it , and he continued to whip and spur the animal until he arrived at L ng ' s Hotel , Bond-street . The sides of the aaimal were bleeding , and blood was running from the anus of the animal . Mr Nunn got off the animal , and led the way to some stables in Bruton . street . The mare was carried rather than led to the stablos . The animal was apparently unable to drag one leg after the other , and presented a pitiable sight . —Mr Nunn , on being asked if be had any question to put to this witness , said
'No ; he had no defence whatever to ranks , '—Daniel Watson , constable of the Hoyal Society for the Preventl > n of Cruelty to Animals , said he went to the stables and found the . mare was dead . It had been disem . bowelled . The animal ' s lips were black with inflammation ; Witness went to Leamington to serve the delin ^ a-nt v'AVi a summon ? . The defendant said it was an unfortunate bufitaess , 4 nd he v »» b sorry it had happened . He wished to know if the matter could not be compromised , and whether he could not be spared the necessity of coming to town to answer the complaint , —Another ciastable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , named Smith , said Mr Nnna called At the society's office , Pall Mall , teknow if , by payment of a certain sum' of money to a charity , tne society would abandon further proceedings . —The first witness
was recalled , and he said , when he saw Mr Kuan in BoHd . streef , it wss about twelve o ' cleck on Sunday night , the 9 th instant . —Mr Thomas said this was the case . —Mr Hardwiek : What answer have you to make to the charge t—Mr Nunn ; I have nothing to say in justiBcation or extenuation beyond this , that I regret exceedingly the termination of this unfortunate affair , The whole thing was done in a frolic , hut , had I con . ceind that the death of the animal would have been oc . oasioned , I would not have done what I did on any consideration . —Mr Hardwiek : The circumstancas as detailed in evidence , give rise to no other feeling than that you have been guilty cf a gross and wantoH net of cruelty . To this cruel act you were moved by nbaae end sordid purpose . For the paltry gratf . ncattoa ef winning a sura of money by wager you did . not hesitate
to subject your horse . to the most cruel ' torture and to death iUtlf , The . penalties of the . lav / for auch cases are wholly inadtquate .

It was dreadful to contem . ¦; plate that in this great and wealthy metropolis so man ; ' i unfortunate men should be walking about the streets ins i
state of starvation , and committing robberies in ordet to satisfy the cravings of nature . He would fake thai opportunity of mentioning a very painful ease which ha : come under his notice as one of the visiting justices o ! the Westminster Bridewell , in which a prisoner , who hai been committed therefor a similar offence , had afterwards died . On his admission , the prisoner was founc to be in snch a wretched state of emaciation that it wai necessary to place him in the infirmary , where he re . ceived every attention that medical skill could devise , but without effect . A coroner ' s jury sat on the body , and returned a verdict that he died of starvation . Thecourl did not sit to administer justice with a stern and unrelentinghand , but while protecting the rights of property it was their duty to attend to the sufferings of humanity . The jury returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoners , with a request that the court would deal with them as lenientl y as possible . Thr court sentenced them to one month ' s imprison . ment in the House of Correction .
