The extraordinary power which it possesses in immediately re ievin _^' , and-eventually _curing , the most obstinate coughs , colds , hoarseress _, asthma , and all complaints of the breath , is _almost incredible , but uili be fully proved on trial . In that unpleasant tickling cough , whieh deprives the _Sufferer sc constantly o " rest , it will be found invaluable , ns it _instantly _all-iys the irritation . % single dose affording _immediate re icf _, and in most cases a single bottle effects _apennatK-nt cure .

      _DISPENSARY FOR THE CURE OF _DISEASES O _C THE SKIN AND ALL CUTANEOUS _AFFECTIONS . _Hahpstead Street , _Fitzbov _Squabe . _Piyjtfan—THOMAS INNIS , M . D _; , S 3 , Fitzroy square , ! Member of the Boyal College of Surgeons , London ; late . _-fjr istant Swrgein in ihe Hon . East India Company's Service , IT IS a strange tmomaly in tho practice and _progress ; of medicil science in this country , that amongst all , the benevolent and noble institutions established for tha alleviation of human misery , there exists but one devoted , to the cure or amelioration of Diseases of tho Skin . It , is a truth well known to the members of the fuculty ,: that tho ravages of these _stubborn and _enduring plagues . of hutn .-m life are more extensive than thoBe of any other known disorder , there being little short of _half-a-milliea of patients anftually seeking relief . If we turn our eyes to France we shall find the importance of this subject fu ly recognised , and tho exertions ef men of _ soicu «« nobly countenanced and encouraged by tho NiltiOlial Funds . Referring to tho Hospital of St . Louis—a magnificent institution devoted to t ' - o cure of Skin Diseases , a clever Surgeon < if the present day w rites thus : — ' Sin « o the grave has closed over the labours of _Bateman , the _coltsire » . f Diseases of tht Skis in this country , as a _distiiit't branch of Medical Science , has slept . Not so in France : successor after _successor , each equally eminent with his precursor , has glided _through the moving pano- j rama of life , from the days ot Lorry to our own , till St . Louis Hospital has become no less deserving of fame than St Louis , the tutelary shade of that magnificent establishment . ' > ; Surely here is an example to this country which _Wfl arO bound _jealously to emulate . The writer feels that the mportance and necessity of a simlar establishment in i England can ne _» er bo too mnch insisted _^ upon . The peculiar nature of the diseases in question , and tho almost insurmountable difficulty Jof _acquiring _accural knowledge as to their modes of _t-.-catrnent—connected with the immense numbers of the suffering p irties- rcn- ; der this desideratum actually the greatest uuder which i these islands at present labour , in asans ' _ory point ot _auw . These diseases are so numerous ar 'multiform in . ippeiritnce and effect , and present such an infinite variety in diagnosis , that it is hopeless to expect any appreach to specific remedies from tho uncertain results of individual a .-. d scattered _practice . Notwithstanding tbe laudable endeavours of the _various British Authors who have written upon _thissubject— and tha highest talent lias not been wanting in the respoet—still , of actual cu _.-ntivo _process little or nothing has been _achieved ; and this , plainly , from the want of a theatre of action , where the operations and results of curative appliances might be ocularly testen _, compared , and treasured up i _» the garner of experience . Hear Dr Watson tin this subject : — ' To become expert , ' says ho , 'in the diagnosis of these blemishes , and in curing such of them as are curable by our art , you must see them with your own eyes . Verbal descriptions of their change _, fal characters are of comparat _. v ly little service or interest . They are among the things that reyuiro to ho oculis subjecta , fidelibus . ' Even pictured representations convey but an inadequate notion of the morbid appearances th- y are designed to pom-tray . The lecturer on Skin _Dissascs should have patients before him to whose ; bodies he could point . ' The opinions of all practical men concur as _ta the _seundnets oftlu . se views . Writers may ' classify and sub-classify , and arrange under genera 1 and species , as the late Dr Willan and liis pupil , Dr Bate- j man , have done , with consummate skill and unwearied industry , but wanting the means of reference to actual cases and personal observation and comparison , their I efforts are thrown away , and the ravages of disease unabated . Deeply impressed with these considerations , and anxious to afford an opportunity to ali who may be losirons of co-operating with him in the advancement of this hitherto neglected department of medical science , Dr Inn " i 6 has opened the above-named Dispensary at _Haropstead-street , Fiuroy-square . Hoping to see the day when wo shal _Inot be behind our French neighbours in the means of investigation afforded by the establishment of an ample institution exclusively dedicated to fh _» treatment of Cutaneous Diseases , Dr Innis , in the me-inwhile , earnestly invites all who feel interested in this important subject not to despise the ' day of small things , ' but to unite with him at once in carrying out this _infant Institution , which lias for its immediate aud special object the testing of the principles upon which eur forepnie _practice hag been based , with tha actual operations of nature under disease . _ShorUy wil' . be published , A TREATISE ON SKIN DISEASES . And all Cutaneous Affections , arising from functional _d-raugement oi _' the digestive organs , degunerated state of the blood , or other causes ; By Thomas Innis , M .

It shows clearly the manuer in which the baiKfu ! consequences of this indulgence operate on the economy in the impairment and destruction of the social and vital powers . The existence of nervous and sexual debility and incapacity , with their accompanying train of syu _. ptoms and _disorders , are traced by the chain of connecting results to their cause .

      A "Woman Shot By A Soldier. Leeds. —A Mo...

      A "WOMAN SHOT BY A SOLDIER . LEEDS . —A most deliberate act of homicide was committed nt tbe Cavalry Barracks on Thursday evening , About seven o ' clock , a married man , named William Garratt , a private in the 07 th Regiment , was in hiB room at the barracks , with his wife , private Michael Stakes , sergeant Keenan , private Dooley or Doolan , and other soldiers . Without any angry words or the _slightesl observation , Michael StokeB got his musket from the rack in which it was usually kept , ond took it for a moment or two to a table , as if he was about to clean it . He , however , suddenly turned round , put the pieo « to hia shoul'Ier , pulled the trigger , and shot Mrs _Gair . itt .

      She fell to the ground mortally wounded , the bullet from tho musket having entered her abdomen , and passed out at htr back . Mr Jackson , the regimental surgesn , was immediately _called and in attendance upon the poor woman but she expired in about as hour and a half afterwards , Stokes was instantly taken into custody . It is stated that after hu was taken into custody be acknowledged , In the prc 3 tnce of sergeant _Mustark nnd private Jones , of the 57 th , that he had premeditated tho deed for two months , and that ho loaded his mu « _ket about two hours before he fired it , Tbo _deceased , Mar . g aret Gmratt , was twenty-fight yean of age _. On Saturday au inquest was held at tba barracks .

      Tho prisoner , Michael Stokes , who is 20 years of age , w » s brought Into the room , where lie remained during the proceedings . He is a slender young man , aBd 6 » _mowhat boyish in appearance . The _expression of bis countenance was rather _Berlous than otherwise , and he seemed to pay great attention to the proceedings . Mr W . Price , surgeon , stated ;¦—I examined the bod ) of the deceased at four o ' clock yesterday afternoon . Ou exposing the body it was observed to bo much blanched . nn 1 a small circular wound that would admit the point of the fore finger was seen ahout two and a half inches from tho navel on tho right tide . Another woundup _, _psared on the back , immediately below the last rib und near to the spine . A quantity of blood bad issued from both tbe * o wounds . Tbo body was then opened , aBd

      tho whole of the wall of the integum-nts was turned back , and I traced tho _prcgriss of the wound , I found the substance nnd passed through tbe 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 bud passed between the large intestine and tbe liver , and both these were uninjured . Thero was no ' diicnic in the parts . I should suppose that tho wound had been occasioned l » y some round hard substance or ball , It could not have been produced by a sword or bayonet . It had 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 dc . _csased's clothes were hero produced . ) Mr Price stated

      that the substance which had passed through the deceased ' s body had passed through htr clothes at the corresponding part , »» William Garratt , the husband of the deceased , said —I am a private in tbe 57 th regiment . Michael Stokes is a _privato in the same regiment . The deceased was twenty-eig ht years and four months old . I did not know the _prisontr until about four months ago , when I and my wire came to the Leeds barracks . Stakes was in the regiment before , but I bad not known him before then , as 1 belonged to another company . Since we have been in Leeds , Stokes hns slept in the eamo room with me nnd my wife . About seven o ' clock oa Thursdayevening the prisoner was in the room with us . Thtf pri . 60 ner came up to Michael Dooley and _askad for a piece

      of bets-waxed rag . Dooley said there was some in hia havrcsack bag . The next time I saw tho prisoner he _waastandiutf at a table in the middle of the room , and he appeared to me to be doing _something with his musket About a Minute _afterwards my wife came up to me and asked me what o ' clock it wns ? I took out ray watch and _tpld her . She was _laughing and joking with mo , aud 1 had scarcely got the watch into my pocket when I heard the report of the musket . I wns standing with my back to the lire , and _flho was _standing on m _; left , As soon ss I heard ths report I tinned and saw the musket drop from the pri « _oner's hand upon the floor . I saw my wife stagger backwards , and she exclaimed , ' Lord have mercy upon us , what have jou done ? ' I ran up to the prisoner and said , 'You scoundrel , what have you done ?

      H : tvc you fllOt my wife V I thought at first my wife was fainting , owing to tho report of the musket . I said to the prisoner , in my excitement , ' I'll load my piece , and 6 hoot you . ' He said ' Load it ; ' and my wife , who was lying upon her back , called to mo for assistance , and I went and lifted her up . There were two or throe- more men in the room , who took the prisontr into custody I placed my wife on a form , nnd sbe _begged to be carried to bed . I carried her to bed , and found a wound in her belly , from which she bled a great deal . Mr Jackfon , surgeon , was in attendance immediately , but my wife died about _half-past eight o ' clouk . No _conversa . tion bad taken place that evening , _btfere thU happened , between the prisonir and me , or between him and my wife , I do not think my wife hadb ? en out of my sight for three minutes during two hours before this _happened , I don ' t think she was live _minutes out of my sight from half-past twelve o ' clock at noon to seven o ' clook in tbe

      evening . The prisoner had been in the room , but I do not think I had spoken to bim during the time , nor do I think my wife had . There hid been no qutrrel with the prisoner on that day , I do not know ( bat ray wife had ever quarrelled with him , or said anything to him , except telling bim that he was _trnre nice than any other man was . It is not tbe custom in the barracks to keep the muskets loaded except when oa duty , or on escort _. It is against the . _generil rule of the army . Stokes was at the parade in the momitig . The pices are all examined during parade . I can _gi-e no explanation of this occurrence , I do not recollect my wife ever saying an angry word to the _prisoner . There are so many rounds of ball and oartridge picked up in every man ' s pouch , and if he makes away with any of it ho is liable to be tried by a cour ' -martial . [ The witness in reply to a question from a jur ir , said he was a private , but wore a stripe as a ' rood 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 the bar . racks on the evening when this happened . 1 wont in a little after five o ' clock . The _deceased , her husband , and StokeB were there , I remained in the room from tbe time I have state _! till this happened . During the whole time I did not hear any conversation pais between the prisoner and Mrs G * rrartt , or between him and tht _? deceased's husband . Th * e prisoner was in tbe room all thetlnie . He was lying a part of tha time on a farm near the fireplace . He had his eyes shut , but he wes not _asleep , as I saw him optn nno of his e } es asd 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 , nnd soon after that I saw tbe musket in his hands . He appeared to be In the act of _ch-aning it . I afterwards saw him litt the musket to . wards his shoulder . I was ahout two yards from him . I heard him cock the _musket , aud immediately ho raised H , pointed the muzzle towards the deceased , nnd fired It off . It was done very _q-iiekly . but I am sure it was done deliberately , and that it was not an accident . The muazlv was pointed at tbe centre of the deceased ' s body . In _stantly after tbo prisoner had tired he threw the musket at my feet , and said , 'There , now , that will do ; I am satisfied . ' He then took his jacket off and did not speak again . I Imraedintely made a prisoner of bim , and be seemed to bo willing that I should tako him into custody .

      All the _subsfquent evidence adduced showed that the prisoner had deliberately murdered the woman , aad hud _purposed committing tha _crimo 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 _rrisoner . —No , Sir ; I have nothing to say , The Coroner then summed up , and left the jury to say whether the prisener wan guilty of murder ormanslaughttr , observing that in order to constitute the _offuuec of murder they must be satisfied that ho intended beforehand to shoot the deceased . Tn him 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 to reduce the act from murder to manslaughter .

      The room at two o ' clock was cleared for llio jury to consult , and at a quarter past two they returned a verdict of' Wilful murdtr' against Michael Stokes . The coroner made out his warrant , committing tbe _prison-r for trial at the next _nssizt-s , and the witnesses were bound in rcoo _^ n ' _zances to appear and give evidence against him _.

      " CITY POLICE COMMITTEE —ExTRAoaDiNAHT Case of BiGAMr . —On 8 ( r C hapman Marshall and Mr Alderman _Gibbs taking their scats in this court , a gentleman , whose name did not transpire , attended and made known tho following _romnntlc exploit of a young female , who , by craving the benevolence of Sir Chapman Marshall , had placed herself iu York Castle , under a very ramarkabla charge of bigamy . On Friday , the 7 th instant , an Interesting , neatlj-attired jonng woman , giving the same ef Amelia Young , applied to Sir

      Chapman Marshall for his aid In being s _« ut back to her home . With great plausibility she told her tale , her dialect favouring the truth of htr story . She s « id that when only twelve years of age-, sbe was stolen from a boarding school and xnarri _. d to a young man , who worked at the plumbing and glazing . Thoy were separated two days afterwards , and her husband was tried and imprisoned for enticing her away—she having some pecuniary expectations . . Aftor he was liberated he enlisted for a soldier , and was _discharged after _suven years' servitude , but as ho _wus a _drunkt-n fellow she did not live with

      _faUn . She learnt straw bonnet makln ; , and having ou _UHcle residing in Murjlebone _, she came up to London from York In quest of him . She had , however , been unable to find him , nnd having no _means ef sustaining herself , and being in very distressed circumstances , she had been induced to appeal to Slf Chapman Marshall for his assistance in getting back to Pocklington , near York . The worthy knight put several questions to her respecting different partita at York , and finding her nnBw ' erB to be correct , he directed that the inspector of po ice should ho communicated with on the subject . The reply was favourable to ihe applicant , and 80 s . was given her to proceed home . It appears , howevtr , that she only returned to her nativo ' locality , to add another link , as it were , to her romantic history . As soon as jhe reached

      Pocklington , she was apprehended by Mr Key , the _policcsupvrlntendent of the district , and on Thursday last she was _examined before the magistrates at York _Casde _, on a charge of bigejpy . Here her true lite came oat . She was the _daughter of Mrs Ann Atkinson who carried on the business of tinman and braz _' . er _, in 1839 , in tho city of York . Her daughter wag then twelve , years of ago , and she made _arrangements to send her to school . On tre 29 th of April the girl went , as tho mother thought , to school ; but on her proceeding the same day to p . _^ y the entrance money , she found that her daughter was not there . A young mart , of tha name of _JamesYoUng , who worked in the parent ' s business , had made some excuse to leave his work that morning , and did not _return . It appeared that tho girl , on coming of a _% e , would come into possession of _JG' 200 , and Young , being aware of that fact , had taken _har off oy the coach to Leeds , and

      married her ou ths following d « y . Tbe father of Your : g aided their flgbt , and at tbo next assizes at York tbey were tried for abduction , and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . . How they were separated hat already been given . The evidence adduce i to support tbtt charge of _big-amy _, showed tbat about four years after her first _marrlnge , viz , on the 2 nd of April , 1843 , she wa < united to Charles William _Ellard _, living at Pocklington . In her defence , sbe did not _* ! eny the second marriage , but sbe stated that when she was _weddid to Ellard , her mother told her that she was not doing wrong , and that ahe was at perfect liberty to marry ai { ain , the former marriage being null and void , and that Young had no claim upon her . The magistrate , howover , committed htr for trinl . 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 _surpoaT their Appbentices wubn III Mr Elcoato , of the firm of Chapman , _Elcoate _,. and Co ., print , n , in Shoe-Ian--, was summoned to show why he _refused to continue a payment cf ten shillings per week to his apprentice , who from { line's had b : en unable to work for some _wet-ks past . It appeared that , about three years back , James Edwards was _appren-iced to the defendant , but no pre miu . ni _wai given . Ho was to receive ten _shlllinge per week forthe first three years ; _twelvo shillings per week for the next two ; and eighteen shillings per week fer the remaining psriol of his apprenticeship . About eight weeks back ho was taken 111 , aud the first week , Edwards was paid tbe ten _shillings , but Mr Elcoate declined continuing it on tho grounds th'it it was not the rule of

      bis house or the trade in general to allow an apprentice his wages when ill , unless a pr « m ' um had be _? n given with hte . —Alderman Finnis asked for the indenture , which wns produced , but there were no seals attached i « it , and Mr Colle-tt , wbo attended for Mr Elcoate , said that tbat very fact rendered the document of no avail , as the words above the signatures ran , 'signed , sealed , nnd delivered , ' which was not the case . —Alderman Flnuis eaid that he thought the instrument was a legal d- cument , as Mr Elcoate had made ic such by employirg his apprentice _unde-rk for nearly three years . —Mrs Edwards produced a doctor ' s certificate , which stated that her soi could not attend , as he was _exce _> dingly ill , _k-ing in n rapid decline . She also deposed to her son working regularly for Mr Elcoate _unt'l the last few weeks , end

      that no cemptaints had ever been made about him , not had he been ill during that period . —Frederick Pratt , compofUor , deposed to _signing the indenture produced , and afterwards delivoting it to Mr Elcoate . It was iu the same state then as when he signed it , as far as regarded tho seals , There never was a seal on It . —Mr Martin said tbat made llttlo difference . —Mr Collott begged to differ with Mr Mirtin . He contended that an the indenture was not sealed it could not be a valid instrument . —Alderman Sir Wm , _Magnay said that the fU £ . 'nd » ftt had taken him as nn _apprentice , and would , if tbe joung man had not fallen ill , have gained considerably the latter pnrt of his time , and therefore , ho thought , ae he bad so taken him for better or for worse , he was bound to continue to _suppoi-. him , according to

      the terms of the indenture . —Mr _C-dltit said that there was a case in ' Burn ' s _Justice , ' where it w » s held tbat if an apprentice was ill for any time , the maBter was not bound to maintain him . He was in a position to show , if the alderman allowed him , that it was not tbe custom ol tho trado to support any apprentice when ill with whom the master had received no premium , —Alderman Sir W . Magnay was of opiuion that , as the master would have been the gplner had the apprentice continued well , it was not too unreasonable that he should support him when he was bo unfortunate ne to be afflicted by illnes 8 , Ho should make the order for continuing the payment . — Mr Collott said that as that was the case , and he had been told by council that the indenture was not valid , he should _wppeal against the deol « ion .

      GREENWICH—Highwat Robbert and _Attsmpteb _MGfcDElt . —John Jones and James King , watermen , were re-exomined , charged with robbing Thomas Carey , a seaman , of a quantity of sovereigns and silver , nnd afterwards throwing bim into the river , off Rothtrhithe ; and the prisoner King with further assaulting _Danitl Felby , who gave the alarm on hearing Carey ' s cries from the shore . Cirey had been paid tiff from the Wisbeaeh , Russian trader , at _Wijbench , on the llfh instant , on which day he came up by railway to London , and being too late to reach D . pttord , where his family resided , that ni g ht , he proceeded to We . _pplng , and hired a boat to tako him to Deptford from _Execution Dock stairs . He engaged the prisoner Jones to take him , but tbe prisoner King jumped into the boat , and said , as it was late

      ( eleven o clock ) , thoy would make short work of it . When In the _n're-WI Jones proposed toga to the -Eigle _, ' at Rotherhithe , and have a qu . r ; of' hot pot . ' _Prosi . _' . cutor agreed to thiB , and they pulled tho boat across the river for that purpose . In addition to the ' hot pot , ' _tlnrprisoners called for some rum . Three scpnratc halfpints were drunk amongst them , when Jones _saul _, ¦ It is time to bo getting under _weiph for _Deptfort ) . ' Tl-. ey then proceeded to tho boat , and on reaching the bottom of ihe causeway .
