The task of preparing and producing the work entitled ' Cofltroulof the Passieas , ' by Messrs Lucas , though ap . parently not one of magnitude , demands a most intimate acquaintance with the mysteries of a profession of the . highest character . To say that the author has produced & YOlume ¦ which cannot be otherwise considered than as a treasure , and a bleselu < c to tke community , Is not saying ¦ too much ; and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner , its pages give evidence of toe results of much personal investigation , and great reseufebes in the study of medicine . In a word , the work has merits which develops no superficial attainments , and w cordially and most earnestly recommends H for general perusal—Weekly Chronicle .

ETEUY family oaght to Ireep a constant supply of fee medicine , which is prepared from ingredients of the most healing , softening , and expectorating qualities , is a rich and pleasantpecteral balsam , and has been given in Bumerous cases with singular success . The extraordi . nary power which it possesses in immediately reiieviufr , ani eventually curing , the most obstinate coughs , cold ? , hoarseaess , asthma , and all complaints of the breath , is almost incredible , but will be fully proved on trial . In that unpleatant tickling cough , which deprives the sufferer so constantly of rest , it will be found invaluable , as it instantly allays the irritation , a single dose affording immediate relief , and ia most cases a single bottle effects a permanent cure . for the heoping cough , it will hs found an invaluable remedy , depriving those hurrassing spasmodic paroxysms of their violence , and from its powerful expectorant and healing qualities , speedily effecting a complete cure . Daring the periodical attacks of the influenza , which have so often occurred during the winter , many individuals h ive expressed to the proprietors that they have received material relief from its use , and it may be recommended 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 with asthma , and chronic coughs , which fender it difficult for them to breathe in a recumbeiit posture , a Single dose has been ioand to enable them to rest with comfort . If given ia the early stage of eonsumption , it will speedily arrest and ultimately entirely remove the most dreadful malady . A single bottle will effectually establish its superiority over every other kind of euugh medicine ia repute . EXTRA 0 BDINA 3 Y CASE OF CCEK . Deivsbcry , Dec , 1845 .

j DISPENSARY FOR TUB CUUE 9 F DISEASES Oc ' THE SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOSS AFFECTIONS . IUkpsteab Stbeet , Firzsdr S « pjbe . Piysiotan—THOMAS INNIS , H .. J >„ Z' & . ] ntzroyiq . * a . ve , Member of the Royal College of Surgeons , London ; late Assistant Surjesft in tfte Son . Eatt India Company ' s Service . K . yj i ¦ . . IT IS a strange Anomaly In the practice and progress af medical science in this country , that amongst all the benevolent and noble institutions established for tbe alleviation of human misery , there exists but one devoted to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of the Skia . It is a truth well known to the members of the faculty , that the ravages of these stubborn and enduring plagues of human Ufa are more extensive than those of a » y other tnowa disorder , there beuiff littlo . short of balf-a-million of patients annually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France wa shall find the importance of this subject fuly recognised ,, and ths exertions ef men of science nobly countenanced and . encouraged . by tha National ' Funds . Referring to the Hospital of St . ionis—a magnificent institution devotei to tic cure of Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeoa of the ' present day writes thus : —* Since the grave has closed over the labours of Butemaa , the culture « f Diseases of tut Skia in this coantry , as a distinct branch of Medical Science , has slept . Not so in France : successor after successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has glided through tho moving panorama of life , fromthe days oi . Lo ' rry to our own , till St . Louis Hospital has become no less deserving of fame than St Louis , tha tutelary shade of that magnificent establishment . ' Surely here is & o example to this country which we are bound jealously to emulate . The writer feels tlmt the mportance and necessity of a- siralar establishment in England can nevbr be too . much insisted upon .. The . peculiar nature of the diseases , in question , and tho almost insurmountable difficulty Jof acquiring accurals knowledge as to their modes of treatment—csnnected with theiiHunensanumbers of the suffering pirtics- ^ iender this desideratum actually the greater under which these islands at , present labour , in a sans'wy point qt 9 jaw . Thesis diseases are so numerous ar imultiform in appearance and effect , and pr . eseut such an infinite variety iu diagnosis ; ' "that it is " hopeless to expect any approach to specific remedies' from tho uncertain results of individual and scattered practice . Notwithstanding the laudable endeavours ; of the various British Authors , who have written upon this subjectand tha highest talent has riot been wanting in the respoet—still , of actual curative progress uttle or nothing has been achieved ; and this , plainly , from the want of atheatreof action , where the operations and results of curative appliances might be ocularly testeu , compared , and treasured upi : i the garner of experience . Hear Dr . Watson on this subject : —' . To become , expert , ' says he ' in the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in curing such of them as are curable by : o ' ur art , you must see them with your oum eyes . Terbal descriptions of their cnaji ^ e . ful characters are of comparatively little . service or in . terest . They are among : tbe things that require to . be ' ocufw subjecta fidelibm . ' ,- Even pictured representations convey but an inadequate notion of the morbid appearancos they are , designed to pourtray . The lecturer oh Skin Diseases should have ' patients before him to whose bodies he could point . ' The opinions of all practical men concur as to the soundness of these views . Writers may classify and sub-classify , and , arrange under genera and epecies ,. as the late Br . VYillan and hia . pupil , Dr Batemail , Lav * done , with consummate skill and unwearied industry , but wanting the means of reference t » ' actual cases and personal observation and comparison , their efforts are thrown away , and the ravages of disease una . bated . ... Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to- afford an opportunity to all who inay be Jesirous of co-operating , with him in . the advancement of this hitherto neglected department of medical science , Dr fnnis has opened the . * above-named Dispensary at Haropstead . street , Fitzroy . sijnare . Hoping to sec tha day : when wo shal lnot . be behind onr French neighbours ia the means of investigation afforded by . the establishment . of an ample Institution exclusively dedicated te the treatment' of Cutaneous Diseases , Dr Innis , in the meanwhile , earnestly invites alt who feel interested in this important subject not to despise the ' day of small things ; ' but to unite with aim at once in carrying out this infant Institution , which bas for its immediate and special object the jesting of the principles upou which our foregone practice has been based , with . the actual operations of nature under disease .

A Woman Shot By A Soldier. Xeeds.—A Most...
A WOMAN SHOT BY A SOLDIER . Xeeds . —A most deliberate act of homicide was committed . at the Cavalry Barracks on Thursday evening . About seven o ' ctoeff , a married man , named William Garratt , a private in the 57 tb Regiment , was in bin room at tho barracks , with bis wife , private Michael Steke * , sergeant Keenan , private Dooley or Doolsm , and Other soldiers . Without any angry words or the slightest observation , Michael Stokes got hid musket from tbe rack in which it was usually kept , and took it tor a moment or two to a tabic , ss if he was about to clean it . He , however , suddenly turned round , put the piece to his shoulder , pulled the trigger and snot Mrs Garratt ,
, She / elf to the ground mortally wounded , tbe ballet from the mnsket having entered her abdomen , and passed out at her back . Mr Jackson , the regimental surgeen , wa » Immediately called trad iu , attendance upon the poor woman , bat aha expired in about aa hour , and a half afterwards . ' Stokes vms instantly takea into custody . It is stated that after ho was taken Into custody he aC knowlodg « d , in the presence of sergeant Mustark and private Jones , of the 57 tb , 'bat . be bad premeditated the deed for two months , and that he leaded his tnunket about two houra before he fired it . The d'eeased , Mar . garet Garratt , was twenty-eight year * of age , On Saturday an inquest was held at'the barracks .
The prisoner , Michael Stokes , who Is 26 years of age , was brought into the room , where ho remained during tbe proceedings . He is a slender young , man , and , somewhat boyish in appearance . The expression of his countenance was rather serious than otherwise , and he seemed , to pay great attention to the proceedings . Mr W . Price , surgeon , stated : —I examined the body of the deceased at four o'clock yesterday afternoon . On exposing tho body it was . observed to be much blanched , and a small circular wound that would admit the point of the fore finger was seen about two and a half laches from the navel on the right aide . Another wound appeared on tho back , immediately below the last rib and near to the spine , A quantity , of blood bad issued from both these wounds . The body was then opened , and the whole of tho wall of tbe integuments was turned back ,
and I traced the progress of tbe wound . I . found the substance hud pasted through the- kidney , breaking up its structure entirely , and that it had passed through the muscles of the back and out at the opening I have described . The other viscera were uninjured . It had passed between the large intestine and the liver , and both these were uninjured . Therc ' iwas no disease in the parts . I should suppose , that the wound bad been occasioned by some round hard substance . < p ball , . It could not . have been produced by a sword or bayonet . It bad all the appearance ' of a gunshot wound , and the wound was sufficient to produce death . The hemorrhage occasioned by the wound bad caused death ; ' ( The do . cenited ' s clothes were here produced . ) Mr Price stated that the substance which hadr ; passed through the deceased ' u body had . . passed , through her clothes at the corresponding part .
William Garratt , the husband of the deceased , ssldy —I am ' , ' ¦ a private in the 57 th regiment . 'Michael Stokes is a private in the same regiment . The deceased was twenty-eigbtyearg and four months old .: I did not know the prisoner until about four months agp , when I and my wife came to the Leeds barracks . , Stakes was in the regiment before , but I had act known him before then , as I belonged to another company . Since we have been in Leeds , Stokes'haft slept in the samo room with me and my . wife ; About seven o'clock on : Thursday evening the prisoner . was ia the room with us . Theprjeoner came up to Michael Doojey and asked for a piece , of bees-waxed rag . Dooley said there wss some in his bavresackbag . The next tima I saw the prisoner be was standing at a table in the middle of the room , and he
appeared to me to be doing something with his musket About ' a iainute . afttrward 8 my wife came np . fto roe and asked me what o'clock it was ? I . took outlay , Watch and told her . She was lauphing and joking wlfhme , and I had scarcely got the watch into my pocket when I beard the report of the musket . I was standing with my back to the fire , and abe wa , standing on mj left , Aa soon as 1 heard the report I turned and « nw tho musket drop from ; tho prisoner ' s hand upon the floor . I saw my wife stagger backwards , and . shp exclaimed ,, 'Lord hare mercy upon us , what have you doie V I ran up to the prisoner and said , * You scoundrel , what have you done j Have you shot roy wife ?¦ I thought at first my wife was fainting , owing to tho report of the musket , I eaid to the prisoner , in my excitement , ' I'll load my piece , and
shoot you . ' He said 'load it ; ' and my wife , Who was lying upon her back , called to me for assistance , and I went and lilted her up . There were two or three more men in tbe room , who took the prisoner iato custody I placed my Wife on a form , and she begged to be carried to bed . I carried her to bed , and found a wound ia her belly , from which she bled a great deal . Mr Jackson , surgeon , was in attendance immediately , but my wife died about half-past eight o'clock . Ne conversation had taken place that evening , before this happened , between the prisoner and me , or between bim and my wife . I do not think my wife bad been out of my sight for three minutes during two hours before this happened , I don't think she was five minutes out of my sight from half-past twelve o ' clock at noon to sevea o ' clock in the evening . The prisoner had been in tbo room , but I do
not think I had spoken to him during the time , nor do I think my wife bad . There had baen no quarrel with the prisoner on that day , I do not know that my wife had over quarrelled tilth h'tot , or said anything to him , escept tellins him that be was marc nice than any other man was . It is not the eastern in the barracks to keep the muskets loaded except when oa duty , or on escort . It is against tjj ' e gentr . il rule of the army , Stokes was at the parade in the ' morning . The pbces are all examined during parade , I can gire no explanation of this occurrence , I do not recollect my wife oversaving an angry word to the prisoner . There are so many rounds of ball and cartridge packed up in every man ' s pouch , and if he makes away with any of it he is liable to be tried by a court-martial . [ The witness , in reply to a question from a jurir , said he was a private , but wore a stripe as a ' good conduct man . ' ]
William Keenan , sergeant in the 79 th Regiment of Foot , stated : —The prisoner Stokes has been in tho regiment about two years . I was in the room at tho barracks on the evening when this happened . I went in a little after five o ' clock . The deceased , her husband , and Stokes were there . I remained in the room from the time I have stated till this happened . During the Whole time I did not hear any conversation pass between the prisoner and Mrs O arrant , or between him and the deceased ' s husband . The prisoner was in the room all the time . He was lying a part of the time on a form near the fireplace . He had his eyes shut , but he was not asleep , as I saw him open one of bis eyes and look at me . I do not think he was asleep during the time . About a quarter before seven o'clock I saw him go into
the armoury in the same room , and soon after that I saw the musket iu his bands . Ho appeared to be iu tbe act of cleaning it . I afterwards saw him lilt the musket to . wards his shoulder . I was about two yards from him . I heard him cock tberousket , and immediately he raised it , pointed the muzsle towards the deceased , and . fired it off . It was done very quickly , but I am sure it was done deliberately , and that it was not an accident . Themuzzly was pointed at the centre of the deceased's body . Instantly after the prisoner bad fired he threw the musket at my feet , and said , ' There , now , that will do ; I atri satisfied , ' He then took his jacket off and did not speak again . I Immediately made a prlsaner of him , and he seemed to be willing that I should take bim into custody .
AU the subsf quent evidence adduced showed that the prisoner had deliberately murdered the woman , and had purposed committing the crime for the last two months . Ho expressed no compunction , but on the contrary said he could now be happy , he could not have died happy if she had lived . The Coroner , after cautioning the prisoner , asked him If he had anything to say ? The Prisoner . —No , Sif ; I have nothing to say . The Coroner then summed up , and left tho jury to say whether the prisaner was guilty of murder or manslaughter , observing that in order to constitute the offtmce of murder they must be satisfied that he intended before , hand to shoot tho deceased . To bim it seemed one of the clearest cases which had ever come before a jury of wilful murder . There appeared to be no extenuating circumstances , and nothing whatever 10 reduce the act from murder to manslaughter ,
The room at two o ' clock was cleared for the jury to consult , and at a quarter past two they returned a verdict of' Wilful murder' against Michael Stokes . The coroner made out his warrant , committing the prisoner for trial at the next assizes , and the witnesses were bound In reco ^ nzsnci'S to appear and give evidence against him ,

On Friday , the 7 th instant , aa . interesting , aeatlj-altired young woman , giving the name ef Amelia Young , applied to Sir
Chapman Marshall for bis aid in being sent back to her home . With great plausibility-sbo told her tale , her dialect favouring the truth of . her story , She »* id that when only twelve years of age , sbo was stolen From a boarding school and married to a young man , who worked at tho plumbing and glazing . They were separated two days afterward * , and h * r husband was tried and imprlsoaed for entleipg tier avr ' ay—she having some pecuniary expectations , ' ' . After he was liberated he enlisted for a soldier , and was discharged' after ssv ' en years' servltud * , but aft ho was a drunken fellow she did not live with

She bad , however ,. been unable to find him , and having no means ef sustaining herSelf , and being in vefy distressed circumstances ^ ' she hod beeii iaduced'to appeal to SlrChnpman Marshall for bis assistance in ' getting hack to Eooklington ; near York . The worthy ' Jcnfght puttaeveral questions to her vespact ' ing different partUs at York , and finding her answers to fee correct , he directed . thatthe inspector ot police should be communicated with on the subject . The reply Was favourable to the applicant and 80 s . was given her to prbo'eed-home . 'It appears , however , that ' abe only retarded to her native locality , to ' afld another link , as it were , to her romantic history . . 'As soon as she reached
Pocklington , she wa » apprehended by Mr Key , tbepojics * superintendent of the district , and on Thursday last she was examined before the magistrates ' at York Castle , on a charge of bigamy , . ' Her « her true life came out . She was the daughter of Mrs Ann' Atkinson , who' carried on the business of tinman and . brazier , in 1839 , ia the city of York ' . Her daughter was then twelve years of age , and she made arrangements to send her to school . On tre ? 9 thof April the girl went , as the mother thought , to school ; but on her proceeding the same day to pay the entrance money , she' found * that her daughter was not thore . A young man , of the name of James Young , who worked , in the parent's business ^ bad made some ux « cusetd , leave Jiis werk that morning , and did not return . It appeared that tho glrl ^ oq coining of age , would come intp possession of iS 2 i ) 0 , and Young , being aware of that fact , had taliferi h « r off by the coach to Leeds , and mvt
riedbet-bu fhafdllbivingday . Tho father of Young aided their flight , and at the next assizes at York they were . trlod . 1 for . ; abduction , aad sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . .

' The magistrate , however , committed her for trial . Sir Chapman Marshall , after expressing considerable surprise at the plausible way she had imposed on him , 'observed itwas difficult to guard against such impositions at all times .
GUILDHALL , — Liability of Masters to support theib "A ' ppitKNTic'ks wHB » lit . — Mr Elcoate , of the fii-m o'ir Chapman ,-Elcoatey and Co ., printers , in Shoela ' ns , wab iumnjonoti to ebon why h « refused to continue a payment of ten shillings per week to his apprentice , who from illness bad , baen unable to work for some weeks past . It appeared that , about three years back , James Edwards was apprenifced to the defendant , but no pre miam was given , Ha-was' to receive ton shillings per weekfo * the first three years ; twelve Bhillings per week for the nest two ; and eighteen shillings per week for the remaining period of his apprenticeship . About eight weeks back ha was taken ill , and the first week , Edwards waa paid the ten shillings , but Mr Eicon to declined continuing it on the grounds that it was not the rule of bis bOUSB or the trado in general to allow an apprentice bis wages when ill , unless a premium had been given with him . —Alderman Finnis asked for the indenture ,
which wis produced , but there were no seals attached 1 » it , and Mr Collett ,. who attended for Mr Elcoate , said that that verj fact rendered the document of no avail , as the words above the signatures ran , * signed , sealed , and delivered , * which waa net the case . —Aldermen Flnnis said that he thought tbe instrument was a legal di ; cumeht , ' as Mr Elcoato had made ic such by employing his apprentice under it for nearly three years . —Mr * Edwards produced a doctor ' s certificate , which stated that her sos could not attend , as be was exceedingly ill , feting ia a rapid decline . She also deposed to her son working regularly ' for Mr Elcoate unt « l the' last few weeks , and that no complaints bad ever been made about bim , nor had he been ill during that period . —Frederick Pratt , compositor , deposed to signing tbe indenture produced , and afterwards delivering it to Mr Elcoate , It was in tbe same state then as when be signed it , as far as regarded the seals . There never was a seal on it —Mr Martin said that mads little difference . —Mr Collett
begged to differ with Mr Martin . He contended that as the indenture wa » not sealed it could not be a valid in . strument . —Alderman Sir Wm . Magnay said that the defendant had taken him as an apprentice , and would , if tbe young man had not fallen ill , have gained considerably the latter part of his time , and therefore , he thought , as he had bo taken him for better or fop worse , he was bound to continue to support him , according to the terms of tbe indenture . —Mr Collett said that there was a case in ' Burn's Justice , ' where it wss held that if an apprentice waa ill for any time , tbe master was not
bound to maintain bim . He was in a position to show , if the alderman allowed bim , tbatit was not the custom of the trade to support any apprentice when ill with whom the master had received no premium . —Alderman Sir W . Magnay was of opinion that , as the master would have been the gfiner bad the apprentice continued well , it was not too unreasonable that be should support him when be was so unfortunate as to be afflicted by illness . He | should make the order for continuing the payment . — Mr Collett said that as that was the case , and he had been told by council that the indenture was not valid , he should appeal against tie decision .
GREENWICH . —Highway Rcbbbbt and Attempted Mdedeh . —John Jones and James King , watermen , were re-examined , charged with robbing Thomas Carey , a seaman , of a quantity of sovereigns and silver , and afterwards throwing him into the river , off Rotherhithej and tho prisoner King with further assaulting Daniel Felby , who gave the alarm on hearing Carey ' s cries from tbe shore . Carey had been paid off from the Wisbeach , Russian trader , at Wisbeach , on the llth instant , on which day he came up by railway- to London , and being too late to reach D . 'ptlord , 'where his family resided , that night , he proceeded to Wapping , . and hired a boat to take bim to Deptford from Execution Dock stairs . He engaged tbe prisoner Jones to take him , but the prisoner King jumped into the boat , and said , as it was late
{ eleven o ' clock ) they would make short work of it . When In the stream . Jones proposed to go to tho - Eagle , ' r . t Rotherhlthe , and have a quart of hot pot , ' Prose , cutor agreed to this , and they pulled the boat across the river for that purpose , . In addition to the ¦ hot pot , ' the prisoners called for some rum . Three separate halfpints were drunk amongst them , when Jones said , ' It is time to be getting under weigh for Deptford . ' They then proceeded to tho boat , and on reaching the bottom of the causeway , Jones took Carey by the collar and riflad his pockets . Carey , who was drunk , resisted , upon which Jones forced him off the pathway on to tbe bed of the river , and nearly burled him in the mud , Ftlby , who was standing on the shore , heard cries , and went to assist , when King ran to struggle with him , and
got him on the ground . Felby roared , loudly for the polic . , when a police constable came and secured Jones , and another cama to the aid of Felbj , and both prisoners were secured and taken to the station . Part of the staltn property wss founS on the person of Jones , consisting ot two sovereigns , two half-crowns , and one shilling and sixpence In silver . The prosecutor was , with difficulty , got out of the mud , and saved from a waterygrave , as tbe tide wns coming up . The case bad been remanded , in order to complete the evidence , and prepare the depositions , but on tho case being called on , it was ' ascertained that the prosecutor and the witness Felby bad not been home all night , and that it was confidently believed that they had been tampered with , and had some women of tha town * planted' on them for that
purpose . —Mr Traill said , tha ends of justice shouldnot be frustrated if he could prevent it . He should remand the prisoners from week to weik , and in the meantime issue warrants for the apprehension of the parties . Warrants were accordingly placed in the hands of the police . MARYLEB 0 NE . —Contemplated Robbeet op £ 2 , 000 . —Frederick Swarman , recently a constable in the D division , was charged before Mr Long with having incited James Walkley to Assist him in eawniitting a robbery atthehou-e ofMissDingley .

there was plenty of property in Miss DIngley ' s parlour , and that his Intention was then to go to France , and trom tbtnee to Mnryland , United States . He further said he could put on Wulkley ' s coat and go into the house and fetch out £ 2 , 000 worth of jewellery and other articles . On Thursday last , prisoner had some further conversation with Walkley , and asked him to go to Miss Dudley ' s that night , that as soon as he .

Mr Roper did not wish to do anything beyond what hihn concslved to be his daty , but he would find that the actcii of parliament under which tbe present proceedings were taken would not sustain tbem . The award patina he contended , was no award , as it had not been madeie " on the hearing of both parties , and should con * , tain the whole of tho matter in the' case . —Mr , Reper r Tbe parties were before the referees ; Mr Ashby attended . d ,, —Mr Clarkson : Yes , ho attended , but that was only totoi protest against their authority to interfere , tho boildingig ; alluded to being within the exceptions .

On the contrary , he would refuse to do so and it will be for the to commit

country managers , so as effectually to preclude them from obtaining other engagements , —Mr Hammill inquired whether the applicant was aware if they had emanated from a discharged servant or personal enemj Of those to whom tho lrtters had been written ?—Mr Le « replied that the whole of his company , who had been a long time in his service , were unconscious of having given the slightest offenca to anyone , to render themselves the objtcts of such inveterate and persevering malignity . —Mr Hammill expressed his regret that be had no meaus of assisting the applicant until he had succeeded in discovering the unknown auther 0 ! such & monstrous course of perstcuiion , but assured them that in that event , be should issue an immediate warrant for hit apprehension , cud deal with him with the utmost BbTerity of tbe law .
