''A girl, named skinner, fourteen years ofage,
residing in White-street Cartcr.gatc, in this
town, had this operation performed, on Wedncs-
day, February IA; being the first time il has
been successfully attempted, She was attac ked
with rheumatism last January, at which time,
Mr.. Jowett, the surgeon to ST. Marys parish,
discovered, bv the use of the stethoscope, that
the pericar3'uM and lining memhrlncc of the
heart, were inAamed lkewisc.-By very ac-
i've measures, the severity OF the complaint was
subdura, aud She appeared to be recovering, but
the stcthoscopc conjoned with other signs, midi
Gated that considerable efusion, or tlropsey, had
taken place in the pericsrdium. On the 18th
of February, She became much worse, and on
tile fourteenth was so bad, that i, was evident
she coul not survive tiie night, unless some re-
het WAS afforded, The operation having been
previously proposed, was then consented TO,
and was performed by Mr.. Iowctt the same at
ternoon, in the presence Of Dr. Manson, (the
consulting physiciln, an assistant, and the pa
tents friends. II WAS at first intended to have
drawn The fluid out by means Of syringe pump,
fitted with proper apparatus; but an accidental
circumstance occasoncd, what has suce proved
a mtteral Improvement, VIZ. the evacuation OF
thr fluid into the left cavity ofthc chest, which
beng IN healthy state, absorbed i in a very
sl'ort tnne. Within twelve hours after the op.
crt'iou there was manifest improvements ana
We AZ" happy to say, that although She still rc

siderable hopes OF recovery are entertained.
