Silt—Having been, some years ago, indebted to Parliament for, a remuneration of a part, at least, of the great sums I had expended on inventions highly beneficial to my country, I pledged myself to my immediate and principal benefactor on that occasion, the late Mr. PencevAL, to endeavour to discharge tb44Migation, by devoting at much of my time as I could spare to the service of the Public. What have been my various endeavours and exertions, with this object constantly in my view, it is not my present business to explain. I may be pardoned, however, if, in justice to myself, I claim the credit of being the first to suggest the plan which is now taken up, as it ought to be, by the Heads of our Ecclesiastical Esta blishment, of raising a Fund for the important pur pose of supplying the Metropolis with a sufficient number of Places of Worship for the accommodation of its inhabitants. My ideas on this subject will ap pear by the following letter, addressed to his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, so long ago as the year 1813.—1 am, Sir, your very obedient servant, EDMUND " MT Loao—When I observe the liberality and zeal with which every proposal, directed to the ber.efit of mankind, is em bracad by the leading characters of this nation, whether distin guished by their rank, their opulence, their ability, or their virtue, I form very sanguine hopes that what I am now going to propose to your Grace will nut be thought unworthy of adop doa, or, at least, that it will obtain that attention which every plan, having the public good for its object, is entitled to. Your Grace need not be informed that in the Cities of London and Westminster, together with their adjoining Parishes, not one third of the inhabitants (and here I am convinced that I speak within compass) are able to attend the Public Service of the Church, for want of accommodation in their respective parish churches. Some few of the wealthy, indeed, though not all, may gain admittance into Private Chapels; but from these the lower classes are of course excluded by their poverty. But even though their poverty might not exclude them, they could not be admitted for want of room. The consequgice is that a great mass of the population, in perhaps the first Christian city in the world, is prevented from joining in public devotion, or driven, by that prevention, to the coeventicle of the fanatic or sectary. These considerations have suggested to me the expediency and propriety of instituting a Society for the purpose of erecting Chapels in such parts of the Metropolis as may be wanted, and providing Illinisters to *Achim in them. I am well aware of the funds that would be required, before a plan of this kind could be phrase/led upon to any efficient purpose. liut when I advert to the princely munificence and patronage of ri English public , I have no fears for its final success, provided it shall appear thai the Society can be actuated by no other view than a desire to as sist and benefit their fellow-creatures in their best interests. " Were an institution of this nature once established, the be nevolence of its intention, and its moral and religious tendency would be so strikingly obvious, as that few, who had the ability, would want, it is reasonable to hope, the in.:Una:ton to become members of it. " Of all the benevolent societies for which this country is so justly celebrated. there is nut one, even the most popular, which (within the limits of its extent) would confer blessings of greater magnitude than that which would furnish to all those v.lio came within the sphere of its activity, that is to say, to thousands and tens of thousands, the means of paying their public devotions to the Auercurr, and having the Gospel preached to them in its purity. Previout to the formation of such a Society as is here pro posed, the subject would no doubt require deep consideration, not from any difficulties in the subject itself, but from the neces sity of proceeding in rinsing with such circumspection as not to give a handle to the enemies of our Ecclesiastical Establish ment to censure and bring into disrepute the principles of the Society, or to counteract or supersede it. " Should your Grace see the matter in the same light that I do, and if it shall appear, upon mature deliberation, that the idea which is now thrown out can be benetici.illy acted upon, I would, ia a future letter,* with your Grace's approbation, enter further in detail upon this interesting subject.—l have the honour to be, your Grace's very obedient servant, " EDMUND CAIiTWRIGIiT. Ilollenden Ilouse, Dec. 23, 1813. • 'Phis future letter never was called for, nor did I hear any thing on the subject till I saw an account of a late meeting at the 'tee Milboll'S Tavern, at which his Grace presided. DR. JAM ES S FEVER POWDER AND ANALEPTIC . PILLS. CAUTION . TO TIIE PUBLIC. MR. NEWBERY, my late Agent for the sale of these invaluable Medicines, havinefailed in an attempt he made in the Court of Chancery, founded upon an untenable claim of Joint-Proprietorship, to compel me to continue supply ing him, (notwithstanding my disinclination, originating in his conduct towards my family), and consequently being no longer supplied with them from me, is now issuing forth to the world, compositions of his own manufacture, under the same titles. I feel, therefore, that I owe it to the Public, to caution them against the consequences of taking such compositions, under the erroneous impression of their being Dr. James's ; and to apprise them, that us a certain mark by which to distinguish the genuine medicines, each Packet and Box will in future bear a label signed 'mica my name, in my own hand-writing. I beg farther to state, that the Medicines of Dr. James with whi , 7l.i the Public have been supplied, through Mr. Newbery and his father, far seventy years, were never prepared, or could be prepared, by any person but the Inventor, my grandfather, and his Sons, toy father and my uncle Mr. O. James, (by the latter in trust. for me, until I arrived at thf age appointed fur tie recipe being banded over to roe). I feel assured, therefore, that no thinkleg person w.ll veirture on taking Mr. Newbery's novel and untried. compositions, which, in his advertilemeut, Air. Newbery confesses he has only prepared for the last few months : any one who may urfortunatety have tried them, will be quickly sensitile of the difference of their effect, from that of the gertine medicines, now prepared by me, as they were by the l ite Dr. James, my grandfather , himse l f . And this will be 1818. the best reattation of Mr. Newbery's insinnations and laborious 4to 1 agst Loo 1 10 to 1 agst any other. endeavours to persuade the Public of their identity. • Mr. BROUGHAM says, that in the debates on the Since the facts I have already published, thereby clearly de- Indemnity Bill, his side of the House have at last given . niunstrating that my grandfather never communicated to any ]lowland for their r' - -,,A c...:t of his family the sect of preparing the celebrated t•ie Ministers " a 'atedicin , ..l in question, I deem it unnecessary for me to notice SAYING A GOOD THING WITHOUT KNOWING IT . The very great success which has already attended any thine that Mr. Newbery has stated, but his assertion in a late A tivertiiemmt, " that the Analeptic Pills have fat. Riell's Offices, becoming, s ome years tllO3O adventurers who have made their purchases at prepared epared in a negligent and imperket manner."- . This is an asserticn not founded on fact, the Pills having been the other evening, the sub prepared int nria!dy in the same manner by the above-mentioned ject of conversation in a mix...td company, and it hav persons s;:rressively. No complaints were ever made by the ing been mentioned that, in addition to the CapitA ptir.liasers in Bruton-street ; nor did Mr. Newbery himself ever Prizes he sold, he had also sold a Ticket which er.- make m : y complaint, until the tint'? of the Chancery suit.

Wli3ll. This was an action upon the case, to recover 4 mages against the defendant, a miller, for widening and deepening the river Blackwater, near Maldon, whereby the plaintiff, as reversioner of certain landed property on the borders of that river, sustained con siderable injury, in consequence of the banks thereof being overflown by the sea water. On the part of the plaintiff, it was proved that the defendant had deepened the river upwards of a foot and a half; by digging gravel, in order to increase the draft of the tail of mill, whereby the banks of the Blackwater were considerabiriejsred by the un usual accession of water in the channel of the river, to the pernicious alluvion of the .plaiatirs land. On ;he past of the defendant, a great many wit nesses were examined, for Ma plow of sheering that the imputed injury to the plaintiff was more beneficial th ..1 otherwise, and that the defendant had done no more than cleanse the river of filth and mud, as had been frequently done for many years past. Mr. Baron Wow) summed up all the evidence in the case with great minuteness; and the Jury, atter a short deliberation, found a verdict for the defendant. C'nows &DR.—Cornelius Miller and Sarah Tyler were indicted for unlawfully having forged Bank notes in their custody, knowing them to be forged. They were found Guilty, and sentenced to be trans ported.—Two other persons pleaded Guilty to the indictment for the same offence. Joseph Mays was indicted for bigamy, in marrying on the 7th of November, 1816, Elizabeth Hazlegrove, his former wife being then alive. The facts of the case being proved, Mr. CURWOOD, for the prisoner, objected, that this case was no felony, as by the evidence it appeared, that the parties had been absent from each other ftr ten yearn, and therefore the prosecutor ought to have adduced in proof, namely, that the prisoner knew his former wife to be living at the time of the 24.1 marriage. The preliminary fact being proved of above seven years absence from each other, The Learned Judge (Mr. Baron GRAHANI) said, upon his present consideration he thought that it ought to be proved that the wife was the party wl.v eft the other ; but if he should alter his judgmeLt iereafter, the prisoner should have the benefit of The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced Co three months imprisonment.

He cc.n'.essed the justness of his sentence, and throughout the awful ceremony, evinced much fortitude and contrition. The ancient rookery at Newton, the seat of the fa mily of HARBvNs, Somersetshire, was entirely blown down during the hurricane on Wednesday se'nnight. Nearly '2OO trees were tern up by tile roots ; only one remains standing in the whole wood. The Savings Bank at Whitechurch opened on:Sa turday last, when the sum of 9651. 12s. 6d. was depo sited. The subscription in aid of the same amounted to 15'21.65. 6d. The .4mateur Managers of Drury-lane Theatre have announced, that after Easter it will be fur nished with stoves. The audience have, therefore, some reason to hope, that these machines, aided by the genial warmth from the projected gas-lights, will render their situation at le:;st bearable. At present great coats and furs are deemed essentially necessary to render it in any degree tolerable, and the money and check-takers, v.huse births are now, by-the-bye, rendered ahnost sinecures, are, we understand, about to petition for some remuneration in lieu of theemo lument they formerly derived fur taking care of these articles during the time of representation.
