Medical Science , has slep t , hot so In France : successor after succe < sor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has R _aided _through the moving panorama of life , from the days ot Lorry to our own , till St . Louis Hospital has become no less deserving of tame 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 _mpo-tance and necessity of a siralar establishment m En' _-l _.-tRd can ne « er be too ranch insisted upon .. The peculiar nature of the diseases in questiou _, and the almost insurmountable difficulty ( of acquiring _accural _knowledge as to their modes of _treatment—connected with the immense numbers of the suffering parties- render this desideratum actually the gieatest under . which _these is _' ands at present labour , in asana' _-ory point ot » u . w . These diseases are so numerous ar - _^ multiform in appearance and effect ; and present such an infinite variety iH diagwosis , that it is hopeless to expect any approach to soecific remedies from the uncertain results of individual and scattered proctic-. Notwithstanding the laudable endeavours of the various _Jairitish Authors who have written upon _thissubjectatidthi * hig hest talent lias not been wanting in the respect—still , of actual curative progress little or nothing has been achieved ; und this , plainly , from tho want of a theatre of action , where the operations arid results of curative appliances might be ocularly tested , compared , and treasured up _i- _« the gamer of experience . Hear Dr Watson en this subject : —* To become expert , ' _sajB he , 'in _tUe diagnosis of these blemishes , and iu curing such of them as are curable by our art , you must see them with your oicn eyes . Verbal descriptions of their changeful characters are of compnrativ ly littlo service or iu . West . They are among the things that require to be _oexdis exibjecta _fidelitms .

Writers may elassify and sub-classify , and arrange under gmcra snd species , as the late Dr Will & n and bis 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 _ernirts are thrown away , and the ravages of disease unabated . Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to afford an opportunity to all who may b * _lesirous of _co-operatiug with him ia the advancement of this hitherto neglected department of medical science , Dr Innis has opened the above-named Dispensary at Haiop . _Etead-street , Fiuroy-square . Hoping to see the day when we shal hiotbft 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 Innis , in the meanwhile , earnestly invites all who feel _interested in this important subject not to despise the ' day of small things , ' but to unite _vtithhim at once in carrying out this infant Institution , which has for its _immediate and special object the testing of the principles upon wliich eur foregone f . _ractice has been based , with the actual operations of nature ucder disease .

Sir , —Having / taken your pills t _» remove a disease of _khe Stomach * mJ Liver , under which I had long suffered , and having followed your printed instructions I havo regained tha . t health , whicii I had thought lost for ever . I had previously had recourse to several medical men , who are celebrated fur their skill , but instead of curing my Complaint , it increased to a most alarming degree . Humanly speaking your pills havo saved my life ! Many tried to dissuade me irom using them , nndl doubt not but _tltat hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent mediciue , 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 pre . venting many _unliHnp ; persons , under disease , from regaining health , by the use of your pills . When I com . nienced the uso of yum- pills 1 was in a most wretched condition , and to my great delight , iu a few days afterwards , there was a considerable change for the better , and by coutkiuing to use them for some weeks , I nave baen perfectly restored to health , to the surprise of all who havo witnessed the state , to which 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 Loss Of Tiie Avenger.
THE LOSS OF TIIE AVENGER .
At Length, By The Arrival Of The Levant ...
At length , by the arrival of the Levant _mai' , full particulars of the wreck of the Avenger have arrived . The worst fears have been realised : there is no ground to hope that more than four persons have escaped . Our Malta correspondent-, dating the _5 th inst , gives _ua the following _inf-ormation : — H . . steam sloop Hecate arrived on the ' 2 nd from Tunis . Previously to entering the harbour , she signalised , * Have four of the Avenger ' * orew on boardrest all perished . ' These four proved to be the persons mentioned ia my . previous l * tter , Lieut . Rooke , the
gunner , a man , and a boy . The Hecate cruised about the _Soi-elli , visited the Island of _Gulita , the mainland oi Africa , but not a vestige of any survivors could be found , nor any particle of tbe ill-fated ship . She must have gone literally to pieces nnd every soul bare perished . This loss has created a strong- sensation here . Some have lost relatives , many have lost friend * . A Mr Speed , a merchant here , was daily in expectation of embracing a younger brother , a cadet on board , whom he had not seen for ten year * . The total number lost is computed « t abeut 350 . Tfeere were a number of officers , principally assistant-surgeons , seamen , and boys on beard , as supernumeraries for the _flset _.
We have been favoured by Lieut . T . W . Langton , the Admiralty a « ent on board the Pasha , with the following narrative of his-parting intercourse with the _captain of the ill-fated Avenger : — The _Pusha arrived at _Gibraltar shortly after noon on the day of the 17 th of December , and having _lnnded tke mall for that town , I proceeded by water to wait upon Captain Napier , the senior officer ; on my way I met him In his gig , accompanied by a militnry officer of rank , going to call upoR tbe governor , Sir Robert Wilson ; as I had the same duty to perform , I begged permission to accompany them . We landed at the Bugged Stuff , and on our way I related all the English news I hid to communicato , Captain Napier and myself were received b y his _Excellency , the military officer waiting for us below .
As I understood , the Avenger wns detained in consequence of the non-arrival of the Indian mail . He now received from tbe gorernor his despatches for Sir W . Parker , the commander-in-chief , and we took cur leave . In the event of our arriving before him , lio charged me with a message to Sir William _Parker . As he expected a package by the packet , he sent a boat with impfficer to make the necessary _inquiries , to whom I delivircd the latest English puptrs iu my possession . The Avenger steamed out of the New Mole about four o'clock , and shortly after rounded Europa _poin _? . The Pasha completed coaling , and by half . pn . st nine tho same evening proceeded . On the morning of the third day the Ave _* ger nag seen , and continued so within a few hours of the dreadful catastrophe .
The following narrative , from one of the survivors of the 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 tbe first watch , the ship suddenly struck on a reef ol rocks . At this moment Captain Napier was on the paddle-box , _talkifig to the muster . Li . utonant Itooke , one of the survivors , was in his cabin , in the act of taking _offbiscokt . The gunner '( unotlur survivor ) ran on debit in a state of nudity . Immediately she struek , all hands rushed on deck j as they did 60 , she heeled over on her _broadsid _" , the mainmast fell across the' paddle-box boat , and no doubt a number of those engaged in clearing it away were killed . Tbe crew appeared completely
paralysed ; nothing was heard but now nnd then an exclamation , * Oh , God ! oh , God ! we are all lost . ' Heavy seas swept over the vessel , and scarcely a man could retain bis hold , The last seen of Lieutenant Marryat wns his being washed from his hold , ond carried away , with some twenty more , to leeward . At last , Lieutenant Rooke , tbe purser , second master , gunner and four others , contrived to get into a quarter-boat . ' Here Providence interposed to save tbem ; in lowering the boitt the _foremiist fall got jammed , and the after one going freely , the beat had her stern in water and her bows in the air , when a jacket belonging to one of the men fortunatflygot into the sheave-hole of the after-fall , stopped it , and enabled them to cut the foils adrift . After _pushiup off from the wreck , they endeavoured to retain her
to render such _BSBistanco as was possible , and to pick up any of the crew ; to approach ht . r they found impossible , The wind blew a gnle from the southward . The sea was very high , and _bresking completel y overhir . After re . maining as near as they could get for tr ? o hours , tbey bore away for CUlita , distant about fourteen miles- an hour after they had done so , the wind suddenly shifted to the north , nnd blew harder than it had dene from the other quarter . Tbis _compelled them to bear up again , which _thsy did , for tbe coast ii Bwbary . On their way ' they passed the wreck , Over which the Pea wan making awful sweeps . Soon after daylight they made the coast of Barbury , having run all night under a email lug-sail , and steered 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 gunmr , and steward , were saved . The others periehed in the surf . The Arabs treated them kindly , dried their clothes , and gavethem warm milk . Aft _+ r a repose they walked thirty six mile-, till they could procure horses , on which they rode to _Biserta . Here they received every hospitality from tho governor BRd the _consulB . A boat took them to Tunis , whence Sir Thomas Reade sent a despatch to Malta . Tho Ileoate started immediately for the fatal spot , whither the Bey of Tunis had already si nt vessels , but not a vestige of the wreck remained . It is supposed tbat , with the shift of the wind , she heeled over into deep water , and sunk . There are from thirty to fifty fathoms all round these rocks _, which are steep to within a ship ' s _lingta ; The total _Ruraber lost is 253 , ;

Lambeth.—Thb Accimnt On The Sonm-Westekt...
LAMBETH . —Thb Accimnt on the _Sonm-WESTEKtf Railway .- —Samuel Brownsmitb , guard , William Jones , engine-driver , and James Flemmfng , fireman , servants of ths _Souih-Western railway , wore charged , by order of the directors , with having , hy their ne ( rll gonce _aauiied a serious collision on the line on Friday night week , which led to the d _.-ath of David _Markland , the engine-driver of a _panBenger train , The first witness called was Mr Win . H . Young , the Assistant superintendent of the South Western line , who deposed that on the preceding _evening he left Southampton nt sis o ' clock in the up-pimenger triin , nnd oh arriving on Purbright C -mmon , which is situated between the Fartiborough and Woking stations , something was found amiss with the engiuo , and the train was supped . The
engine driver , Markland , and the fireman got off tor the purpose of repairing the injury to the engine ; and Whi . ting , the hiad-, eunrd of tbe train , gave directions tohi « _under-gunrd , the prisoner Brownsraith , in his ( witness ' s ) pretence , to go back and signal the _up-train on the enme line of rails to stop . The prisoner did so . When he had been gone about twenty minutes , witness heard , and in fact saw the lights oi a goods train comim * towards the stationary train , snd perceiving that tke steam was not shut off , he ( Mr Young ) sent a clerk _belonging to tbo company to stop it , but it came on ata tremendous rate , and ran into the passenger train . The shock was so gre . it that the carriages in the _pisse * _gi . r train were separated , and some of them wire fvrced < _-ff the line to a considerable distance . Markland , the engine-driver ,
who was unfortunately under the engine nt the time , was found to be quite dead , having received so serious an injury on his head , that his' death must have been _inBiaHtaneeus . Tha fireman was severely injured , as were also several of the passengers , —Mr Elliott ; . Did you see the prisoner Browiumith . after he had been sent to _slgnil r . nd stop the coming train ?—Mr Young : Yos . sir : be came up after the accident , and said he held up bis hands with the red li _^ ht , and called out as loud at he could , but could net m & ke _. tke driver or fireman on tho goodt train see or hear him . —Mr Elliott ; Was it tho duty of BrownBmith to have tsken anyother signal with him than that of the red light ?—Mr Young : Yes , sir . Your worship will see by the 47 th rule of the regulations which are ia the hands of every servant , of tho
company , what his duty was , —Mr Elliott here rosd the 47 th rule , which was as follows : — ' In case of any accident occurring , se as to impede the . progress , of a train , the _undir . guard shall ba despatched te the nearest station astern the train to give notice thereof , and in his progress thereto , sha . l fix at a _dillftneo of six _hundred yards frem the point of obstruction a signal to stop , and fog signal , so as to Indicate danger to the coming train . Measures should alRO be taken by sending the fireman , er any other available person , to advise the nirent at the nearest station ahead of the occurrence , ' The fog signals Mr Young described as detonating balls , which were to be placed ou the rails at a distance not greater than one hundred yards apart , and which the engine in passing over broke : thereby causing an explosion ,
which alarmed the persons in ' eUarge of the tmin . Mr Young , in conclusion , said the directors of the line felt it to be their duty , wider the circumstance , to send the three prisoners before a magistrate . —William Whiting depo « ed , t * _- ; Bthe wns hesd . guard of the _pn-seng . r train that I ft _S'lUtbampton f . _> r Lokdon at six-o ' clock on the evening before . The train came at Its usual pace until about eieht o ' clock , when it arrived at _Purbright Common , when the driver blew his whistle for stopping , nnd did stop ; witness got from . his . usual place and found Markland , the engine-driver , and the fireman on the line , an" tfct fireman said there was something th * matter with the engine which must be set to right * . Ho then _requested witness to hold his lump , and got underneath the engine . Previously to this , however , witness
despatched bis under guard , _Brownsmith _, to signal the next up train to stop . Markland , o » _examining the works of the enzine , said the ' executor' _haii broken away , but he _tboueht be would be able to set It to _rights ia three or four minutes .. He observed him take aw « y a portion of the _t-iu'tne that had broken away , and _somi after he _tfiii , ' All is ready now ; see that jour _passengers are all right . '" Witness t _^ en left the _JigM alongside the engine and ' went ' to look after the passengers , and immediately after the _gotids train came up awl ran right into them . Had the deceased come from , under the m . gine at the time he said that all was ready his life would have been-saved , and he could not 6 ay what was the cause of his _staying there , but that he was under the ingine at the time ef the _collision there could be no doubt _.
The witness added that , besides the _signal sent out by Brownsmith , there wire three signals at the 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 u haif at leant , if not double tbe distance , and he ( _witnefcg ) wan at a loss to understand why it was , more particularly as they were on a high embankment , the prisoners Jones and _Fh-mming did not see them in time to have stopped a « d prevented the accident . It-was the duty of the prisoner Bro wnsmith to have taken the fog elgnaleand placed them on the line . —G . T < jfeald , inspector of police on tho line , said he took the prisoners Jones and Flerr .-ming into _custody , at an early liour that _motni-tg , and Brownsmith he also took intocu » to <" y _between nine And ten o ' _cl-ck . The former prisoners 6 aid that immediately
before the accident they were proceeding at th « rate ef about twenty . five miles an hour , and hud not seen any _MKnnlflj until they observed those behind the passenger train , and they were nt that time too near to prev .- nt an accident . The third \ r ' soner did not nuke any remark thatherecolhcted . —The prisoner Brownsmith , who sppcared a very smart fellow and intelligent man , said that when the train _stopped he asked the head cuard if he should go back to signal the Rext _trtin , and did so . He proceeded three quarters of a mile , when he saw the _goof _. _e train coming , and made every effort to make tbe driver or stoker sec the signal , or hear him , but could not see either of them on th * engine . The fog signals were kept in a van , and as the night was not foggy , but , on the contrary , quite clear , and the stationary train on a high embankment , and easy to be -een at a
considerable distance , he should say time miles , he did not think of using any but the usual red signal . —The prisoner Jones , who is also ah--intelligent man , declared thnt the night was foggy , and that as soon as he saw t' e e . lgnal at the back of the _passenger train he _reversed his engines , aud used the utmost means within his powerto prevent a collision ; but owing to the shortness of the space , the greasy stato of the rails , his coming down an inclined plane , nnd his having behind him thirty-one trucks heavily ' . laden with goods , that propelled him forward , in spite of all he coald do , he could not avoid the collision . By keeping on his steam he said he wns enabled to use a much greater force to stop the train than by shutting it off . —Mr Elliott said he did not _a ' . e that there was anything in the conduct of Brownsmith to justify his detention , but the other prisoners he Bhould remand until a future day .
RrMorAL of _Peisonibs . —Mr Young , the assistant _, superintendent 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 de » lh of David M _^ _rklaud , to Woking , so that they might be present at the coroner ' s inquest , to be holden that evening , to _sungest any questions to tbe corener and jury , or make si ch statements as they might deem beneficial to them under the circumstances in which they were placed—Mr Elliott replied that he had no power to give such sb order , that
authority being invested only in the Secretary of _State for tbe Home Department . —Mr Young asked if it was likely the governor of Horscmonger-lant Gaol , in whose charge the prisoners were , would sanction their _feeing taken down to Woking in proper custody , the directt rs being anxious that they should be present to hear the evidence against them . —Mr Elliott replied he did not know , but Mr Young might wait on Mr Keen , and ask bim the question . —Mr Yeunit _faia he would do so , but Boon _^ _fter returned , and said the permission was re . fufed .
The iNsecENT Convicted . —Henry Wenman , a stick manufacturer , was placed nt the bar before Mr _Ellio-t _, on a charge of receiving and _disposing of a match and gold chain , well knowing tn _* m to havo been stolen . In the month of Oetobcr last , a young woman , _namod Mary Ann Turrit , who had ben committed from this court , was found guilty , on apparently eonclmive evidence , nt stealing a silver watch and gold chain , and sentenced to six months' impri & oment nnd hard labour at Brixton House of Correction . Nearly a month after htr comic tion , and while undergoing the punishment , a little urchin ( the son of the prosecutrix ) made ) a full confes . sion that he was the thief ; that his uncle , Henry Wenman , ( the present prisoner . ) had disposed of tbe property for 50 s ,- , and that he ( the l » d ) had spent the
money . The lad , whoa * name is J _^ _nies Was , Ward , in _C'tnsequence of this confession , was apprehended , and subsequently pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey , when he was sentenced to Beven years' transportation . Since hie conviction the lad has ma _^ e some disclosures to the chaplain of Milbank PcHitentiary _iFiVolvinR his uncle in the aliened guilt of _rocniviiip the silver watch and chain with a guilty knowledge and keeping 45 s . of tho money received for himself , and this - c'reunutanoe' led to the prisoner ' s apprehension .- TtnJ prisoner entered into a lengthened statement in his defence , said that the charge was brought through mere spite and _malico _, and declared ho had sold the watch for tho boy upon his
representation that his mother wanted the money ( or it , and that 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 , and it _vras also clear that the prisoner was perfectly aware of the fact that the young woman was innocent of the charge _alleged against her ou the day she waB taken into custod y , yet it was not until after htr conviction and sentence to six months ' imprisonment that he disclosed the extraordinary fact Mr Norton had already taken some trouble In the case aud was _scquuluted with tbe _wrole of the circumstances ' and he should therefore _rewand the prisoner for further examination _.
Inhuman _Robbert . —Joseph _Parnell , a little fellew » hose head did not reach tbe top of the bar of tho felon ' s dock in which he was placed , was charged with stealing eight sovereigns , belonging to ibis _paren's , and Sarah Walker , a middle-aged _femnle , was also chiged with receiving a part of the money , knowing it to havj _neen stolen , and further , with unlawfully harbouring a child . —From the statement of the mother tithe youth . fe . l prisoner , vrhich was corroborated by _himjelf , it ap . peared that , on the 5 th instant , her son _absconded , tak . ing with him eight sovereigns , whieh herself and h r husband had , with the greatest care , sated , und didio

return uud the day Oeiure . i'r _.-lll queiMom » _ht M * d P _" to the boy , sbe elicited that , on the day he to _« k the money , he met a boy _belofging to the temple prisoner , and accompanied him hom > , snd from that time until the day befere she harboured him at her house . It also appeared that , In ordir to disguise the buy and prerent the police , who had been acquainted with the robbery , from knowing him , the female prisoner had caused the _loag curly locks of the boy to be shorn off , nnd further , puv chased a suit of coarse slop clothes and a seuth-wester , so «« to make his disguise perfect ; but on rinding that all his raonuy was gene , she turned him out , and _ncsired bim to g » about his business . Tho poor woman , who _seemoJ _alrnont heart-broken , said that she had eleven other children—sis of whom were younger than the
prisoner ; that she worked hard at ironing from _morniag tilt _n'ght ; that hor husband had also been obliged to work hard to support their large family ; yet the fruits of many years labour , and that « hich they accumulated by sixpences and _shillings at a time , was now gone . — The only defence set np by the female prisoner was , that her boy had _brought his _fullow-prisom-r home , when the latter said he had got ho father nor mother , and that the money was _his ' onn—Mr Elliott very much re . gretted 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 next , but as the boy was so _extremely young , only ten years old , he . on the application of tho mother , allowed him to go home till tho day of _re-esimin » tiot > .

coals out of the cart had helped him up with his horse . Mr Marshall subs- qu » ntl y 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 , but only brought one ton to his master ' s shop . On being given into custody , Barker said in coming borne from the wharf with the first ton of coals , lis met with an old shipmate , who asked hira if ho would have something te drink , and that he went into a public-house and gave a man named Frank Moore a shilling to drive the horse and enrt home , bat instead of doing so he sold the coals .

Mr _CoTibe , on _a'C-rtainlng that fact , immediately proceeded with Mr Vine , the chief clerk , in a cab , to tbe _residtnee of Rohins' _-ri , and took his deposition , ns follows . — ' Betwei n three and tour o ' clock on the after _, noon of _Thur-day , I went into the tap-room of the

I sat down at the opposite side of the room , and commmced smoking , when tho prisoner threw _somtthin-i at me , and broke my pipe .

Loss Of Her Majesty's Bri& 'Snake.' The ...
LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S BRI & ' SNAKE . ' The _followine is the copy of a letter , written by an officer of her Majesty ' s brig Snake , _describiri " the total loss of that _vessel iR the _Moz-rabique Channel on the 29 th of August last : — ' Sib , —You will be sorry to bear of the total loss of _herMaJMSty _' s sloop Smtke , which is now lying with heside open from the port gan gway down to the keel , on a coral reef about sis mileg from this anchorag . i . After visiting _Z-inzibar and A _.-juun _, or Johanna , we were re . _turning to this port , when , on the afternoon of tbe _26-. h July , if I remember correctly , We made the land somewhat to the northward . We stood off to the eastward
for the night , _umler easy sail , a _„ d the ne « day found that the set had driven ns upwards of fifty miles to the southward . The wind was from tbe _southward and westward , with a tremendous _s « t directly iu the contrary direction . The latter it was tbat baffled our endeavours to reach tho port during the next two or three days . At sunset , on tbe 29 th , the outer ( or easternmost ) ono of the small islands _i . ff il ( . zambi q « e was _observed to bear about north . Wlu- „ these isla nds ceased to be visible , owing to the coming obscurity of the night , the Snake steered north _north-caBt , so as to pass a couple of points outside of all . But the tremendous set I have
mentioned , together with a fl > od tide _driving us in to . words tbe land , the north . Dorth . _east course we _vore Steering became , in fact , a north-north , west one , in consequence , of which at 7-45 p . m ., we found ourselves aground , unfortunately , just at the top of high water _. As the tide receded , the vessel heeled over till sbe reached htr bearings , when she settled down with htr deck at an angle with the horizon , of betw- en 30 and 35 dig . B _^ _ing a weak vessel , her butt-end * started , whin her lee , or _port-side , immediately filled . As , cv « n then , it could _scircely be credited that the current bad set us to the westward to the extent I have described , doubts began to arise as to the islands we had seen at sunset being in realit y what we had taken them for . Hence a painful anxiety existed during the long night we had
before us , for we were perfeetly aw » re , that had we to take refuge en shore , at any _distanca from Moz _. mb ' que itself , we could only have maintained a precarious footing by constant hostility with _numerou-.- and warlike tribes , not _unprovidad with fire-arms . Th . re was somo appre . bension , also , lest the shi p _s-hould fall overaltegether on her _beam-snds _, or the masts go by the board , neither oi which could well bare taken place without the loss of life to some , and severe injuries to others . But I ara truly happy te be be able to add that no one has lost his life , or been hurt in any manner ; indeed , we have nut had a death on board since we were put in commission , now nearly twenty montlis ago . From the inclined
position of the ship , nobody can live on board , and the crew are accommodated on shore abreast e > f her , at the distance of about two miles , in excellent tents made with the sails and some spars . They are busy in saving stores , iic ., and will , probably , be removed to tbis place in a few days , the _governor having removed ihe soldiers from the San _Diminrjo barracks to make room for their _reception . The French barque . corvette _Valtigeur , of 20 gun ? , arrived here on the 7 th of September , As there is no British man-of-war in the Mozambique Channel , I believe that , if none _srriie here before the end of the month , merchant vt _^ _eie will be tak > n up to convej ub to the Cape —Mozambique , Sept . 10 , 1847 .
P . S . —Sept 13 th . —I have nothing particular to add since the foregoing was written . The whole of the crew were removed here on Monday last , ihe 13 th . I have reuson to think iMs will reach you before thw original , ae that was Sv _* nt via 1 _iha ' tW . It was found impossiUet * get the guns out by means of tho' lower _musts , ae their inclination had already caused an immense strain on the weather rigging , the heart of which was pone ; and , owing to the Burf , it was found impossible to rig « dorriek on the botiom , consequently the saving of the guns is for tbe present given up . But a Portuguese man-of-war schooner is going out on _Monday morning , manned by a portion of our crew , to watch the _breaking up of the vvsstl , now near at hand , and , it pessible , topick up some of the guns .
Middlesex Sessions . Starvation.—-John P...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . _Starvation . — -John Poole , John Smith , John _Barrett , _Thornns William * , James Jackson , and Thomas Mills , were indicted for _stesling . a loat of bread , worth 3 _jd . The first two pleaded guilty . It appeared from the _tvidi nee that tbe prisoners are navigators' oat of employment _^ and that on the _13-h instant , as they were _pas-ing along _Marylebone-Iane , _Poole snd Smith entered the _ehop o £ the _proseiutor , and took up a loaf , with which they mado off , and joined tho other prisoners . The prosecutor followed and rave them into custod y . The prisoners said they were starving , and tbat was the reason why they had taken the bread . On their being searched _oaly _oaehulfptnny was _faund amongst _thsm . They were on _' th & way t » the office for the purpose of otaining tickets for a night ' s lodging . They had not been in bed or tasted food for _eight-and . forty hours _.
The learned Judge , in his summing up , said the case * was a very melancholy one . It was dreadful to _content plate that in this great and wealthy metropolis so many unfortunate men should be we iking about the streets in a state of starvation , and committing robberies in order to 8 » _tisfy the cravings of nature . He would take that _opportunity of mentioning a very painful case which had come under bis notice as one of ths visiting _jastines of the Westminster Bridewell , in which a prisoner , who had been committed there for a similar offence , h » d afterv * nrds died . On bis admission , the prisoner wa ? found
to be in such a wretched state of emaciation that it wat . necessary to place him in the infirmary , where he receivid every attention that madical skill could devise , but tritbout effect . A coroner ' s jury saton the body , and returned a verdict tbat he died of _starvation . The court did not 6 it to _administer justice . with a stern and unrelenting band , but while protecting the rights of property it was tluir duty to attend to the sufferings of U _> iu-. _auity , The jury return-da verdict of guilty against the prisoners , with a ri quest that the court would deal witla them hs leniently as possible . Thr court sentenced them to one month ' s imprison _, meut in the House of Correction .
