I procured the best advice passible , but without deriving any beaefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary , where I continued twelve weeks , and left it without having obtained any benefit , snd atl hope of relief had vanished . " This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to ^ try Blair ' s Pills . I then lost no time in sending to Mr Mortluck , of Stamford , for a box , and-by the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch . I then sent for another bax , which enabled me to throw away the other , and thank God I have never since had such an attack .

Btruotion ot this liglitnouse , upon the northwest ooast 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 . of the haven of Padstow , and is the matt prominent headland on this side of the country ; so that the position could not have been better chosen . Tbe survey of this site was made by order of the Trinity Board in July , 1814 . There are two lights . Upon the completion of the upper one , it was found that it was liable to be mistaken , under certain
circurastances , 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 of the light-keepers , The elevation of the High Light is about 200 foet above high water , of the Low Light , 130 feet . The light is a dioptric of the first order , consisting of refractors and zones , of polished ( "lass , with one central lamp of four concentrated wicks . The new light will be exhibited shortly , of which due notice will be given by the Trinity Board .
Singular Death . —On the 2 nd instant , a young couple , who had been married that rooming , respired to pass a few days of the honoymoon in Brussels , and accordingly took the traia for that city . On their arrival at Malines the husband got out of the train to procure some refreshments for his wife , but unfortunately tho train proceeded on its eourso before his return . He immediately resolved to hire a twoharse 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 carnage reached one of the suburbs of Brussels near Lacken , when the drirer , not seeing his wav clearly , drove off tho high road into the canal . The unfortunate individual in the carriage , having no moans or extricating himself , was drowned , as were also tto two horses . The coachman oontrived to jump off his seat and to save himself by swimming . Meantime the wife arrived at her place of destination , where she passed the night . The next morning firing that her husband did hot arrive bv anv < $

Darisg Outrage . —Dick Tdrpin ix mb Principality—DrBowring , M . P ., left Gloucester by the early South Watesmail coach on Thursday morning . And arrived at Bridsend about eleven o ' clock the same evening , At Bridgend he met his brother , Mr Charles Bowring , and having procured £ 1 , 000 in sovereigns and silver from the Bridgend Bank , they left the town together in a phaeton for the Maesteg Iron Works , of which the Doctor is one of the leading proprietors . On arriving about midway between the two places , which are eight miles apart , in a narrow part of the road , and whilst their vehicle was Blowly ascending a hill , two men sprung from the hedze presented a pistol at the head of each of the Messrs Bowring , accosted them by their names , and tolc
mem tney were determined to have their moner or their lives . They said , ' We know you have got a large sum of money in your bag ; give it up , or we will blow your bram 3 out . ' Thus assailed , the Menus Bjwring , being alarmed , felt resistance would be useless , and they gave up the whole of the money whirh consisted of £ 750 in sovereigns and £ 250 in silver 1 he robbers then , to guard against pursuit , shot the horse dead upon the spot , and then made their escape , but without personally illtreating the gentlemen whom they had plundered . As soon as they were gone Mr Charles Bowring proceeded on foot and in all haste to the nearest farm-house , where he stated what had happened to him , and ho borrowed a horse on which he immediately rode back to Bridjrend , whence he sent off expresses to all parts of the surrounding country with descriDtions of the cuiltv
parties . The result of this prompt and prudent course was that one of the robbers was apprehended about four o ' clock the same afternoon with £ 250 in gold in his possession . The same night also , about eleven o ' olock , and at ten miles distance from the scene of the robbery , a countryman passing along the road , and who had heard of tbe robbery , had hissuspioion 3 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 the countryman having his suspicions more and mere confirmed , boldly seized the fellow , who drew a razor to defend himself , but was knocked down and can tured by the countryman , who . on &ftAr » o » i .

IMPORTANT TO FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ^ OiTTHBIKBOK V . KlTOnEH . — This W «« an .... broug ht at tbe Westminster County Court , by the nilu felfT , a journeyman t » ilor , a memfcer « f the Kobin H n ^ Society of Journeymen Tailors , against tho defcndan ? the landlord of the White Horse , Carnabj Market f 10 g ., money paid for his use , as treasurer of the BOcieh ? Mr Ern « gt Jonei appeared for tbe plaintiff , Mr Warm ?' for the defendant . ° The sum In dispute , although of small amount W i Ted a most important question , snd excited the att < mti ™ of o crowded court , inasmuch as tbe defendant is allet tea to owe the seciety , of which the plaintiff is a member I sum of £ 88 ., and to have refused accounting for ( he same tho society not beinj enrolled . Not having 1
, public officer throug h whom to suo , the plaintiff had U the advice of his couasel , brought thh action to try ' tajj question , ^ Mr Ebnis t Johes said his Honour would recollect that the case came orlgimlly before him about a month since , and was adjourned for the purpose of the defen . dant ' s sister attending , to whom some portion of t no money was paid , and also for the attendance of % stewards of a society held at defendant ' s house , and to which the plaintiff belonged . The summons was to recover 10 s ., monies paid for the use and purposes of & seciaty to which tbe plaintiff belongs . Tbe defendant being tho treasurer of that eocUty , was bound to aoconnt for all monies paid over to him , and , consequently , the money paid by the plaintiff .
Mr VTABHiNconteBdedtheaction could not be brought by the plaintiff , inasmuch as he had never paid tho mon » y to tha defendant , and his client , if accountable , nu so to the stewards . Mr Ebhest Jones replied . On account of the society not being enrolled , it was not competent for the stewards to sue the treasurer for any money . Mr Wabman . — Thi 6 action was to recover back ' a Bum of money paid by the plaintiff to some one who purports to be the secretary or st # ward . The money was then
paid , with other monies to his oliont , who disbursed tbe money for tba society in payment of sick members . He BuhmltUd most confidently that his client eould not be called upon to account to persons for tho disposal o £ money which tbuy had not paid to him , but to other par . ties . If be was responsible for the money of the society it was to the stewards who paid it over to him , and not to individual members who paid the money to the stew , ards , He accounts with the stewards of the society , and tho stewards were bound to take care of the monjg of tha society , according to the rul-s .
MrEbnest Jones j uid , his client had ,, through big agents ( the stewards ) paid the defendant mosey forsoclatj ' s purposes , which money had not been properly applied by the defendant , and he ( Mr J ) contended there was a resulting trust in favour of his client . The defendant , however , denied all personal knowledge of tbe plaintiff , and the case was adjourned for evidence to show that the money paid by the plaintiff had been paid ' over to the defendant . The society , his Honour would remember , was established for » he purpose of assisting nick members following tho trade of a tailor , and conBe . quently a trade society . The Judge . —Is not the defendant the treasurer of the society , and accountable to any individual member for the money ? Mr Wabman . —He is no efficer whatever of the society , no is merely tbe puMican at whose house the Booiet ; is held , and riieburtee the money to the sick members by order cf the ttewards .
Mr Ebnest Jones contonded that the defendant , by having the money paid over to him b y the stewards after it was received from the plaintiff , w&a bound to account to him for it . Tho books of the society bad been brought thereto show in what position the defendpnt stood ; and the stewards , secretary , and auditors were , present to prove it . Ho contended the plea for the defence was untenable . Mr WaRsriX . —Thedcfendantacknowledsfes receiving money from the stewards , who say that Mr Kitchen is £ 89 . la their debt , which he denies . This 10 s . is said to have bsen p » id in for certnin purposes , whilst at the very tima it is said to have been paid ia , Mr Kitchen was disbursing fifty times the amount in paying tbe sick . As the whole seemed to bo a matter of account between the stewards and the defendant , that gentleman wasready to go into the whole matter by a reference .
Mr Sehbst Jones said , his client had no objection to such a course ; he denied that 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 Jddge said he thought that would bo the most satisfactory wsy of settling it . Mr Wabhan said he had a long list in his hand . Tbe society claimed of his client £ 8 S . 5 s . 9 d ., and his client had n claim against them of £ 178 . The Learned Judge said , that tbe court could cer . tainly not go inte so voluminous an account , but that as arbitrator had best be appointed , and he would grant full powers for that purpose . Mr Wabmah however contended the matter was beyond bis Honour ' s jurisdiction , as the sum in dispute on the subject of arbitration exceeded £ 200 , ; and that the plaintiff oucht therefore to be put out of court .
Mr Ebnest Jones replied it was only 10 s , What other accounts it might involve was immaterial . The case was clearly within the jurisdiction of the court . The Jddge said that the 77 th section of the Rew Act gave him the power to award an arbitration in any case which he thought fif , for arbitration , ana whose award should be final , and as binding upon the parties as a judgment obtained in the ceutt . The secretary of the society said they were willing in the first instance to have the matter settled by arbitralion ; but it was objected to . They were willing to abide by the suggestion of the Learned Judge , He would suggest that Mr John Strnchan , of the George , George , jard , be the arbitrator .
The eaae was suspended until the 19 tU of December , with the understanding that in the interim the whole matter shall be referred to arbitration .

A ROMANCE OF THB NINETEENTH CENTURY . 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 Thibcrt , are at present in custody in tba different prisons of Paris , and whose trials are expected to occupy the whole of the ensuing session of tho Court of Assize for tho B .-partraent of the Seine . The number of crimes imputed to the criminals , and which comprise murders by poisoning , stabbing , bur . glory , arson and indeed everj offence known to the law , Is 207 ; and there are altogether 1 , 700 charges , the whole extent of the band comprising , according to the statements of the police , more thau S 00 individuals , all bound together in a sort of fraternity , and all engaged in different modes of plunder , and united in one wicked
object . Oae mode adopted by the criminRls was to ravel throughout the kingdom , having light vehicles built expressly for tho purpose . They attended the fairs with merchandise , taking care to have theis papers all regulnrly signed , or obtaining forged ones , and in many cases , were looked upon as honest dealers , as they appaired to purchase and make 68 les with great regularity . While the men were thus employed , tbe female members of the gang , of whom there were considerable numbers , were engaged in going about tbe town where the fair was held , and the neighbourhood , disposing of stolen articles of jewellery and other pro . perty , and at the same tim * ingratiating themselves with the servants of the gentlemen ' s houses , and ebtniniug information with rfgard to the habits cf tne families and where the greatest quantity of valuable plunder was likely to be obtained ; and by means of which information the male members of the cane were
enabled to act with greater certainty . Each section of these desperate maefactors was accompanied by a certain number of villains , who were provided with l&udanura and several other deadly poisons , to stupifr , or , if necessary , even to destroy , those whom they pitched , upon as their victims . Another equally dangerous portion of the gang are those known as the Konuinltehels ,. or the Black Band , so called trom the fact of their being all of Gipsy extraction , and frem their offmces being only committed during tho night . These are all men who have been sentenced to the galleys , and either escaped or broken their ban , as it is termed , that is , withdrawn themselves from tho surveillance of the police ; and many of themhave undergone several conrietions , and their position beiog thus rendered desperate , they would appear to be tbe devoted enemies of all law ; and against thh portion of the band of malefactors the most grave chargesare presented . Ia the case of one of tho female
members of the band being delivered of a child , the mode they adopted was to represent themselves as respectable merchants or traders , and in that capacity they placed the child to nuree with tome respectable person , pnjing all wpensos roost liberall y , and at their departure paring three or four months' allowance is advance , and pro * mising to return at the expiration < jf that period to removo the infant , which , of course , was never done . It so . ms , howover , that although anxious to relieve themselves from the charg * of muintainin » the infant at a period of its life when it could not further thdr designs of fraud , that the children so deposited were never lost sight of , but as soon as they arrived at the age of ten or twelve years , thej either managed to steal them a *» J > or elao Insisted upon their parental rights , and obtained
possession of the child bj paying a portion of the amcuo * of arroars due for its sustenance . The principal of tbis band t s Claudo Thlbert , a man , forty-tiv « years old , irt > ° attained his position by fils acknowledged superiori ty over his companion * in audacity and crimo . His ravte * died fn prison at Grenoble , and his father on the sctf fold , ami from his earliest infancy he has followed ooo continual career of crime . This culprit generally travelled with two large carriages , which were mos tly fillw with stolen property , and ha had three largedepo ' a different towns , each of which w « 8 found to be f ° J ° valuable « toleu property . The trial of this * wf * malefactors Ib looked forward to with the utmost u » rest , as it is expected that the most extraordinary reTC lations will be made in tha course of the proceeding '

TO THE WOMEN OFGREAT BRITAIN AND , IRELAND . ( From Jlmtilt ' s Journal ) . FBLtow-CousTRTwouBs . -Ah outrage u oontera . plated by the executive of this country on ourcornmoH nature whieh it behoves ih ?«! 1 to protest agains * . With a woman on the throne ; we have a peculiar right to call for attention to everything which concerns the interests ef woman , and , through her , of humanity . . .. _ . , »
Mary Ann Hunt is now imprisoned in Newgate for murder ; but on the ground . of hw pregnancy , the time of execution is postponed till after her delivery . She is to suffer the long anticipated horrors o / a public and violent death , in order that she may give life to her child . She is to be nursed and raised aeaiato health and strength-for what ? 1 o nurse her child ; to repent in the secret of her prison , and U be punished in a manner that shall restore her to virtue and thus tosive two human beings instead of one ? ' Is that the beneficial and wise object—an object worthy of an enlightened age , of a Christian land a ;» d of a nation on wh « e throne sits a woman and a mother ? No ! Such a measure as this is not intended ; on the contrary , after this unhappy mother has given birth to her child , the intention is to tear her fr om it by a hideous process of public Strangulation ; after having kept her alive for months , and 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 am no advocate for murder , either in private or in public , either by the depraved slave of evil passions , or the hangman who depraves thousands by his murder in broad daylight . But I have , by long refleetion on the subject , and on the results of our past policy , arrived at the conclusion that official murder is no cure for private murder ; that the rope will not restrain either tho knife , the hatchet , or the dose of poison ; that we have no tight to take life by any moans , or on any pretence , and that our so taking it neither diminishes crime , nor instructs ignorance ( which leads to crime )—while oh the contrary , violence is the fertile seed of violenoe .
Admitting therefore , the crime of this woman , and asking for no exemption for her from any just , sufficient , rational , and re formatory punishment , I eannot help regarding , and feclinp that you will regard . wih me , the cool barbarit ) of tbe proposed postponement and aggravated infliotion of death in this case as one most revoltine to every feeling of our natures , as dis'raeefulto the age and country in which wo live , as tending tocheokthe pure and benevolent ieelinc in whieh Iks the surest hopa of our onward progress towards the wisdom and the blessings of Christianity , and as violating two divine laws at . once—that against shedding human blood , and rending asunder a bend of God ' s ewn knitting , that of [ mother and
child . It apsears to m . 9 that here is an opportunity peculiarly afforded us for bearing eur 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 joia everywhere , in your ma ' ernal and womanly character , in the following , or a similar , petition , to the Queen , for the commutation of the punishment of thu condemned criminal . Years very truly , Mabt Howitt . To Heb Host Obaciocs Majesty Qoken Victoria . The Humble Petition of Mary Howitt , and other women , Showeth ,
That your petitioners earnestly bag to call your Ma jetty's tttt ntioato the case of Mary Ann Hunt , who now li'S in t i o prison of Newgate , condemned to d » ath for murder . That we do not approach your Majesty with any plea of palliation of her offence , or any doubt as to her guilt , but we , in common with large numbers , both of our countrymen and countrywomen , h&ve long been oonvinced « f the inutllity of capital punishment as a . preventive of crime—believing on the contrary , that tho direct tendency of public executions is to stimulate crime , and to produce , especially on the minds of tbe uneduuated classes , culloumesB of heart and a barbarous pleasure in th * sufferings of others . That , such being our earnsst conviction , wa are , at this moment , particularly anxious to call your Majesty ' s attention to the revolting circumstances attending the case of the said criminal Mary Ann Hunt .
That this unhappy woman should be preserved for ' some months oaly 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 undor ^ oing 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 criminal . That we feelit to be a case-peculiarly calculated for your Maj'isty ' s consideration . That as a woman and a mother , as the chief woman of the nation and the mother of her people , your Majesty cannot be behind tho greater portion ofyour female subjects in desiring to set asido the barbarism now impenaingover oneof yourown Bex .
That wo believe the moral sentiment and the Christian principle of England demand this concession of tho ruling poirerti to tbe growing development of these qualities in tbe heart of the nation , that we spoak the sense of a large portion of the wisest and the best of the community , and that while no long time can elapse before penal homicide is for ever abolished from the British code , the execution of Mary Ann Hunt , under preeent circumstances , would bo felt as an outrage to public humanity . Tour petitioners thertfore earnestly entreat , as a matter of Christian principle , of human feeling , of deference to the best sympathies of woman , and from all these causes , of the soundest and most enlightened policy , that your most gracious Majesty will consider the case of Marj Ann Hunt , and moved by such consideration as cannot fail 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 .
