"Sib , —Twelve years ago 1 became afflicted with Rheumatic Gout .

I then lost no time in sending to Mr Mortlock , Of Stamford , for a box , and by the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch .

coast of Cornwall , has been suggested by necessity , there having been preriously 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 that 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 ofthe _light-keepers . The elevation ofthe Uig h , Light is about 200 feet above high water , of the Low Light , 130 feet . The light is a dioptric ofthe first order , consisting of refractors and zones , of polished glass , with one central lamp of four concentrated wicks . The new _liuhfc will be exhibited shortly , of which due notice will be given bythe Trinity Board .
Singular DEAiH . —On the 2 nd instant , a young couple , who had beea married tbat morning , resolved to pass a few days of the honeymoon in Brussels , and accordingly took the train for that city . On their arrival at Malincs the husband got out of tlie train to procure some refreshments for his wife , but un . fortunately the train proceeded on its course before bis 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 carriage reached one of the Buburbs of Brussels , near Lackcn , when the driver , not seeing his way clearly , drove off the high road into the canal . The
unfortunate individual in the carriage , having no means or extricating himself , was drowned , as wen Also ibe two horses . The coachman contrived to jump off his seat and to save himself by swimming . Meantime the wife arrived at her place of destination , where she passed the nigbt . Tho next morning finding that her husband did not arrive by any of the trains from Malincs , she became greatly alarmed and spoke on the subject to some of the gentlemen connected with thc railway . About 10 p . m . the accident became known to tbem , and tliey sent off an express to Antwerp in order to communicate it to the family of the deceased . Ilis brother immediately went up to town , and after having given the first orders respecting the body of his unfortunate relative , conducted the _widnw of the deceased back to
Antwerp , where , after much precaution , ahe learned for the first time , the melancholy intelligence . _MANCnesTsn . —SnocKiNQ Death prom tue _burstiNoopACANKes . —An inquest was beld byMrW , S .

A verdict of accidental death was returned . IIo was the son of a respectable person in Ireland .

With a _woman on the throne , we have a peculiar right to call for attention to ' everything which concerns the interests of woman , and , through her , ol 1 U Mary Ann Hunt is now imprisoned in Newgate for murder ; but on the ground of her _pregnancy , the time of execution is postponed till after her delivery . She is to suffer the long anticipated horrors ot a _oublic and violent death , in order lhat she may give fife to her child . She is to be nursed and raised ISi « to health _aid strength-for what ? To nurse her child ; to repent inthe secret other prison , and t . _bepunished in a manner that _shall restore her to _« :. *¦« = nn _. l thiiR to _s-ive two human bein » _s instead oi

Such a measure as Una is not iJtended ; on the contrary , after this . unhappy mother has given birth to her child , the intention btoTear her from it by a hideous process of public _strangulation ; after having kept her alive for months , amI nursed her into strength , after the pains of maternity—to kill her . . , ,,, My countrywomen ! I do not lose sight of tho guilt of this poor ereature . I ara no advocate for Her , either in private or in public _^ . ther by the Saved slave of evil passions , or hehwn who _dSaves thousands by his murder in broad daylight But I have , by long reflection on the . subject and on the results of our past po icy , arrived at the _conclus on that official murder is no cure for private murder ; that the rope wil not restrain either . i . „ _irn'ffl . tho hatchet , or the dose of poison ; that
we have no right to take life by any means or on any pretence , and tkatour so tak _. _ng it neither dir oinishes crime , nor instructs ignorance ( which leads to crime)—While oa the contrary , violence is the fertile seed of violence . ¦ , Admitting there / ore , tbe crime ofthis woman , and asking for no exemption for her from any just , sufficient , rational , and re ormatory punishment , leannot help regarding , and feeling that you will regard wi ; h me the cool barbarity of the proposed postponement and aggravated infliotion of death in this case aa one most revolting to every feeling of our nature , ' , as _dis-raeeful to the age and country in whioh we live , as tending tocheokthe pure and benevolent feeling in which lies the surest hop * of our onward . progress towards the wisdom and the blessings ot Christianity , and as violating two divine law- at once—that against shedding human blood , and rending asunder a hond of God ' s own knitting , that ol ' mother and
child . . . . _ . _ . It _apneaw to me that here is an opportunity peculiarly afforded us for bearing our : testimony against the longer continuance of a revolting , inhuman , and , I sincerely believe , unchristian and criminal practice ; and I . therefore , my countrywomen . respectfully and affectionately entreat you to jom everywhere , in your ma'ernal and womanly character , in the following , or a similar , petition , to the Queen , for the commutation ef the punishment of this condemned criminal . Yours very truly , Mart Howitt . To Heb . Most Geacious Majesty . Queen _Yiciobia . The Humble Petition of Mary Howitt , and other
wemen , Showeth , That your petitioners earnestly bog to call your Majesty ' s _attintioato the case of Mary Ann Hunt , who now li . _s In tU e prison of Newgate , condemned to death for murder . That we do not approach your Mujesty with any plea of palliation of her offence , or any doubt as to her guilt , but we , In common wUh large numbers , both of our countrymen and countrjwomen , have long been oon . vinced ef the inutility of _caiital 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 mind « of the uneda . cated classes , callousness of heart and a barbarous pleasure in thi sufferings of others .
That , such being our earnest conviction , wa are , at this moment , particularly anxious to call your Majesty's attention to the _revolting circumstances attending the case ofthe said criminal Mary Ann Ituut . That this unhappy woman should be preserved for soma mouths only to give birth to her child , and then to be violently torn away from 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 may be _^ spared to this crimtnal .
That we feel It to be a case peculiarly calculated for your _Majesty ' s consideration . That as a woman and a mother , as tbe chief woman of the nation and the mother of her people , your Majesty cannot be behind tbe greater portion of your female subjects in desiring to set aside the barbarism now impendiugoveroneofyourown sex . That we believe the moral sentiment and the Chris * tlan principle of England demand _ihis concession ofthe 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 tbat while no long time can elapse before penal homicide It for ever abolished from the British code , the execution of Mary Ann Hunt , under present circumstances , would be felt as an outrage to public bumanity .
Tour petitioners therefore earnestly entreat , as a mat-Ur of Christian principle , of human feeling , of deference to the best sympathies of woman , and from all these CftU 6 e » , of the sounds ** and most enlightened policy , that your most gracious _Mujesty will consider the case of Mary Ann Hunt , and moved by such consideration as caunot ( ail 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 , [ N _.

Daring Ootiuge . —Dick Turpin is tub _Princi * mnr . —Dr Bowring , M . P ., left Gloucester by the early South Wales mail coach 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 £ 1 , 000 io sovereigns and silver from the Bridgend Bank , they left the town together in a phaeton for the Alaesteg Iron Works , of which the Doctor is one ofthe leadint * proprietors . On arriving about midway between the two places , whioh are eight miles apart , in a narrow part ofthe road , and _whilsttheir vehicle was slewly ascending a hill , two men sprung from the hedge , presented a pistol at the head of each of the Messrs Bowring , accosted them by their names , and told them they wero determined to have their money their lives said
or . They , _« We know you have got a large sum of money , in your bag ; gi 7 e it up , or we willblow your brains out . ' Thus assailed , the Messrs Bowring , being alarmed , felt resistance would be useless , and they gave up the whole of the money , which consisted of £ 750 in sovereigns and £ 250 in silver . The rebbers then , to guard against pursuit , shot the horse dead upon the spot , and then made their es * cape , but without personally illtreating the gentlemen whom they had plundered . As soon as tliey were gone , Mr Charles Bowring proceeded on foot and in all haste to the nearest farm-house , where he stated what had happened to hira , 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 of the guilty parties . The result of this prompt and prudent
course was that one of the robbers was apprehended about lour o ' elock the same afternoon with £ 250 in gold in his possession . The same night also , about eleven o clock , and at ten miles distance-from the 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 tbe countryman having his suspicions more and mere confirmed , b . Idly seized the fellow , who drew a razor lo defend himself , but was knocked down and captured by the countryman , who , on afterwards examining his prize , found that the _handkerohief contamed 500 sovereigns , part of the booty stolen from Dr Bowring . Both culprits were on Saturday ex * ammed before the magistrates at Brideend . and
ro-3 «« _a , _«¦ m ! "S are iri 8 hn J ' and were formerly employed at the Maesteg works . They , no doubt , were well aware of tiie money which Dr Bowring and hs brother carried with them , and they stationedI _them-EK ? k \ . _*< - ¦ c ° ™ ent spot for effecting the robbery ; but it would seem after all that they were novices at their trade , as their ingenuity did not serve them to invent means of escape . _Ilithway robberies are of very unfreouent occurrence in Wales , and this one has excited an immense sensation throughout the district . It is supposed that the silver _(^ 250 ) was found too bulky and heavy to be portable , and that the _rasoals buried it . We " understand that the learned Doctor and Co ., had recently been reducing the wages of their workmen . One of tho tenants of an Irish landlord lately partook so greedily of the audit dinner , that he died in a few minutes .
An invention has been discovered , and is ' Jn operation at Manchester , for making casks by matery .

The summons * ra * tft recover 10 s ., monies paid for the use and purposes cfa , society to which tho plaintiff belongs . The defendant being tho treasurer of that society , was bound to account for aU monies paid over to him , and , consequentl y , _^ money paid by the plaintiff ,
Mr _WABJiiNcontendedtheaction could not be brought by the plaintiff , inasmuch as he had never paid ths mon-y to the defendant , and bis client , if accountable was so to the stewards . Mr Ebkesx Jones replied . On account of the society not being enrolled , it was not competent for the stewards to sue the treasurer for any mouey . Mr _YTaumah . —This action was to recover back ' a sum of money paid by the plaintiff to some one who purport * . to be tbe secretary or 8 t » w » rd . Tbe money was tbea paid , with other monies to his client , who disbursed tbe money for the society in payment of sick members . } _J submitted most confidently that his client could not be called npon to account to persons for the disposal ol money which they bad not paid to hira , but to other par . ties . If he was responsible for the money of the society it was to the stewards who paid it orer 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 bound to take care of the tno _tty of the society , according to the rules . ' Jfr _BatfEsr Jones said , bis client had , through fiig agents ( the stewards ) paid the defendant money lot _soci-tj ' e purposes , which money had not heen properly applied by the defendant , and he ( Mr J . ) Contended there was a resulting trust In favour of bis client . The defendant , howerer , denied all personal knowledge ofthe plaintiff , and the ease was adjourned for evidence to show tbat the money paid by the plaintiff bad been paid over to tbe defendant . The society , his Honour would remember , was established for the purpose of assisting sick _mombers following the trade ofa tailor , and eonse . quently a trade society .
Tbe Jpr . aE . —Is not the defendant the treasure- «( the society , and accountable to any individual member fer tbe money ? Mr Wabman . —He is no fiicer whatever of the society . Ho is merely the _puMicaa at whose houBe the society is held , and disburses the money to the _siefc members by order rf the stewards . Hr Ebnest Jones contended that tbe defendant , by having the money pafd orar to him by the stewards after It was received from the plaintiff , wa » bound to _""ccount to him for it . Thc books of the society bad been brought tbere to show in what position the defendant stood ; aud tho stewards , secretary , and auditors -vere present to prove it . He contended the plea for the defence was untenable .
Mr Wabjian . —Tbe defendant acknowledges receiving monoy from the stewards , who say that Mr Kitcheo ia £ 89 . ia their debt , which he denies . This 10 s . is said to have been _p-iid in for certain purposes , whilst at ths very timo it is said to have been paid iB , Mr Kitchen was disbursing' fifty times the amount in payiug the sick . As the whole seemed to b . a matter of account betweenthe stewards and the defendant , tbat gentleman _itsj ready to go into the whole matter by a reference . Mr EbnbsT Jones Bald , his client had no objection to such a course ; he denied tbat tbe 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 Jddqe said he thought that would be the most satisfactory way of settling it . Mr _Wsamtt said be bad a long : list in his hand .

The Learned Jodob said , that tbe court could certalnly not go _inte so voluminous an account , but tbat aa arbitrator bad best be appointed , and he would grant full powers for that _purpose .

A ROMAKCJ 5 OP TUB NINETEENTH _CENTOY . The French papers contain some particulars of a most extraordinary character , relative to a process against a band of marauders , sixty of whom , with their chief , Claude Thibert _, aro at present iu custod y ia tbe different prisons of Paris , and whose trials are _npected to occupy the whole of the ensuing _session oi the Court of A . ssizo for tho _Department ofthe Seine . The number of crimes imputed to the criminals , ani which comprise murders by _poisoning , stabbing , bur . glary , arson , and Indeed every offence known to the law , is 207 ; and tbere are altogether 1 , 700 charges , the whole extent of the band comprising , according to the statements of the police , more thau 800 individuals , ail
bound together in a fort of fraternity , and all engage * in different modes of plunder , and united in one wicked object , Oae mode adopted by the criminals was to ravel throughout the kingdom , having light vetichs built expressly for the purpose . They attended the fairs with . merchsndise , taking care to bare their papers "U regularly sigAed _, or obtaining forged ones , and in _maW cases , were looked upon as honest dealers , as they "P * peared to purchase and make sales with great regu _!"* rity . While the men were thus employed , tbe ft * male members of the gang , of whom there were considerable numbers , were engaged in going about tbo town where the fair was held , and tbe neighbourhood , disposing ef stolen articles of jewellery and other pio * perty , and at the same time ingratiating themseh" )
with tbe servants of the gentlemen ' s houses , and ob * taining information with regard to the habits of tbo families , and whtre the greatest quantity of valuable plunder was likely to be obtained ; and by means of which information the male members of the gang " _* """ , enabled to act with greater certainty . Each section" ' these desperate _maefactors was accompanied by a certain number of villains , who were provided with la- ' danumand several other deadly poisons , to _stupify , '' if necessary , even to destroy , those whom they pttcheo upon as their victims . Another equally dangerous portion ofthe gang are those known as the Komanltchellj or the Black Band , so called irom tbe fact oftheir being all of Gipsy extraction , and frem their offences being only committed during the nigbt . These are all men " " - *'
havo been sentenced to the galleys , and either escaped or broken their ban , as it is termed , that is , withdra « n themselves from tbe surveillance of the police ; " " _* many of tbem have undergone several convictions , "»• their position beiog thus rendertd desperate , they «< " - _* appear to be tbe devoted enemies of all la w ; and again" * this portion of ihe band of _malelactors the mostgra '' chargesare presented . In the case of ono of theft """ 18 members of the band beiug delivered of a child , the mod " they adopted was to represent themselves as _respeo"" ? _merchants or traders , and in that capacity they f f the child to nurse with some respectable person , p . vic all _espensuB most liberally , and at thoir departure ? "J " ing three or four months' allowance in advance , an " F * 0 '
_mising to return at the expiration of that , period to '' move the infant , which , of course , was never done . ee : ms however , that although anxious to relieve IB "" " selves from tbe charge of _maintaining the Infant at a i ' rlod of its life when it could not further thtir desig B ! ° fraud , that the children so deposited were never _W tight of , but as soon as they arrived atthe age of t " twelve years , they either managed to steal thera _tfW > or else insisted upon their parental rights , and oW _» _' " possession of the child by paying a portion of tDeam f c ' , of arrears due for its sustenance . Tbe principal 01 band is Claude Thibert , a man , _forty-fivs years old , * attained his position by his acknowledged _tupe riio _Oter hia _prnnnniiirirn in BiirliriW nnd crime . Hi' & i .
