SOMERSETSHIRE

A stranger who should be informed of the shameless impostures which the people of this country daily suffer to be practised upon them, would justly question our right to be called an enlightened nation. Unbounded credulity would, in truth, appear to be one of our distinguishing characteristics. The county of Somerset has, of late, afforded more than one striking illustration of this position, but we shall only notice the most Elizabeth Cozens, alias Myers, and a person named Dennison, a few days since, visited the parish of Twerton. Cozens issued hand-bills, purporting" that she was a doctress born deaf and dumb, the daughter of Alexander Myers, a very learned and eminent physician, who was born in Lancashire, and after an expensive education at the English universities, travelled into foreign countries for further improvement, at length settled and married a wife at New York, North America, where the said Mrs. Myers was born. The doctor was universally beloved and esteemed for the many surprising cures he performed there; and though this lady was born deaf and dumb, yet she, by divine decree, having naturally an extraordinary genius, her father took the utmost care and delight to instruct her, especially in the most useful remedies: from whence she embarked for her parent's native country, with God's Messing, to the relief and comfort of her fel

low creatures." By means of the above handbill, and affecting to be deaf and dumb, together with the assistance of Dennison, who acted as an interpreter, she sold medicines to a considerable amount; and would have escaped from the parish with her harvest, had she not been too covetous, and made free with a lady's purse, in which were two 51. notes, and 15s. in silver. They were both committed to Ilchester gaol, to take their trial at the next assizes, for the felony.During their examination, the deaf and dumb lady quickly recovered her speech and hearing; and many poor deluded young women came to the magistrates with bottles of medicine, for which they had paid 10s. 6d. 7s. 6d, and other sums.

STAFFORDSHIRE.

A magnificent painted window has been lately erected in the north transept of Litchfield Cathedral, presented by the Dean, and executed by Mr. Betton, of Shrewsbury. It consists of nine figures, as large as life, placed under rich gothic canopies, representing the founders and benefactors of that beautiful church. Great care was taken to assimilate the design with the best ancient specimens of the art; and it is probable that no modern work, in its kind, has in this country been more successfully performed.
