AREAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.—There is not, perhap, in the whole Materia Medics, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient as the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought never to be without the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for if a Child awakes in the night with pain, by only rubbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will immedi ately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent freers and convulsions ; for should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes. To be had, Wholesale and Retail, of Johnson and Co. No. 28, York-place, City-road ; and, by their appointment, of all princi pal Medicine Vendors in Town and Country, at 2s. 9d. per bottle. N. B. None are genuine, unless signed on the Stamp with Mrs. Johnson's own band writing, as there are several spurious sorts. SALE BY AUCTION. SAVILLE ROW, BURLINGTON GARDENS.

THE PUBLIC DISTRESS. discussion, the following resolutions were, with very few dissentients, agreed to:— That it is the opinion of this Meeting that at no period within the memory of man was such severe distress experienced u exists at present amongst all the productive classes of the community in this country. That such distress has been gradually increasing for some yens past. It has been attributed to over-production, and likewise to want of production; but, in the opinion of this Meeting, it has been caused by the mal.atlmMistration of those who are always ready to find some other excuse than their own misconduct and want of fotabsg, when it is not their inclination or interest to remedy the evils orwlich the people complain. TI the various 4sgialadve enactments on the currency !Aye been improper, oppressive, and unjust—tending only to benefit the capitalist, and encouraging monopoly at the expense, and, in many instances, the ruin, of the rest of the community. That the general means of the country are continually being reduced, whilst the burdens remain the same; and that, therefore, the means must be raised to a level with the burdens, or the burdens reduced to a level with the means. That we do not expect any permanent and effectual remedy, either:for our distresses or the management of public [affairs, until an effectual Reform is made in the Commons House of Parliament. That a petition, founded on these views, be presented to the House of Commons. MEETING AT BETHNAL-GREEN. Yesterday at ono o'clock, a Meeting was held in the parish church, with a view to take into consideration the distress which pervades this populous district. Mr. Churchwarden Cor.ws in the Chair. Mr. BRCTTOX, the Vestry Clerk, stated that in consequence of the Requisition of several parishioners of this populous parish, the Churchwardens had convened a Meeting for the purpose of taking into consideration the present distressed state of the trade of this parish, and the universal distress which prevails. The ulterior ob ject of the Meeting, was to lay before Parliament the distress under which the parishioners labour, and to pray for such relief as his Ma. jesty's Ministers may think fit. The Vestry Clerk then read the resolutions seriatim, which he had drawn up for the adoption of the meeting, or otherwise, and af terwards the petition which he had drawn up to be presented to both Houses of Parliament, supposing the meeting should be pleased to adopt it. The petition, alley alluding to the failure of the silk trade, ad. vetted to the consequent increase of pauperism. In 1826 there were only v pigeons in the workhouse, and rather more than that num. her paid outs but at present there wan nearly 1,400, and twony 6,000 paid out. The parishioners wet in insolvent circumstances, inasmuch as they had raised large sums on bonds, the interest of which they could not pay, beyond which they were greatly in debt to the Treasurer of the county of Middlesex.—(hear.) r, as wen aff the tesoludoes. Mr. Gramme moved that T. F. Buxton, Esq. be requested to present the petition to the House of Commons, as he was well ac quainted with the distress of the district. A PIII.IeBIOXIER said that if that hon. member had to advocate any religious cause, he would speak in support for three hours, but he could scarcely speak for so many minutes on behalf of the poor slaves of ]Bethnal-green.—(hear, and a laugh.) Mr. SMITH mid that Mr. Buxton certainly had not supported the petitions which he had formerly resented in the manner his oratorical abilities would have enabled him, had he given his mind to the subject. Ile proposed that Mr. Sadler, the Member for Newark, should present the petition. The amendment was carded without a dissenting voice, It was then moved and seconded that Lord Mon should be solicited to present the petition and support it in the House of Lords. --Carried unanimously. Thanks were voted to the minister of the parish, for the use of the church on the present occasion. The Rev. Mr. MAYIS returned thanks, and observed that the sacred building could not have been used for a better purpose ; although he was placed as their spiritual pastor, he knew that the body also needed susppoirt. It was useless almost to administer spiritual consolation where the body lacked daily bread. (Hear, and applause.) He then made some remarks upon )he churehwerdene and overseers not attending a meeting of such vial importance ; not one, except Mr. Coles, the chairman, being present. The GHAIIIKAII having returned thanks, the meeting separated. • The street heading to the Prater, a quarter of a wile long. t The chief Perk. BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Freeholders of the County of Kent. Showeth,—That your petitioners view with horror the deep and overwhelming distress which pervades all the industrious classes of society in the kingdom, but more especially those engaged in agri. culture. That from the heavy and insupportable burden of taxation which presses on the land, no profit is derived from its cultivation. That thousands of industrious fanners, menu. facturets, and artisans, have already been crushed by the weight of the taxes, whilst those who still linger on see nothing but ruin and destruction around them. Still, industry, and hu. gality, have all been exerted in vain. That %bat rents have been paid they have been taken from capital, to the serious diminution of farming stock, sad injury of the soil. That from the crippled and reduced state ottbit hang g k Amkgogiltad L ew it) s la bourer is thrown out of employment; or should he obtain it employer cannot give him those wages which his bard toil demands: whilst pauperism, moral degradation, and crime, are so rapidly in creasing as to threaten the entire frame of society. That in some parishes the poor rates are failing from the total inability of the ' farmers to contribute. That in this dreadful state of suffering and destitution, your petitioners are firmly persuaded that nothing can save the country from convulsion and bloodshed but prompt and effectual relief in aid of the poor rates; that to effect so in. dispensable a measure, your petitioners beg leave to point out to your Honourable House a source of relief which may be made instantly available. They allude to the national property, nom. monly called Church property. Your petitioners, therefore, most earnestly entreat the Honourable House to take such steps as your wisdomsnay suggest towards an immediate appropriatiou of a con. siderable pert of the Church revenues in aid of the poors*.rate ; and more particularly that, as the Bishopricks become vacant, the successors may be appointed at a fixed salary not exceeding 3,0001. per annum. The surplus revenue of such Bishopricks to be paid to the poor's fund ; 'and that all Deaneries, Prebends, and such preferments, to be filled in the same manner ; and your pe. titioners further entreat your Honourable House that, u pare. chial livings fall vaeant, they must be filled in like manner; that is to say, at a fixed salary—none, however, to be under 3001. a.year, nor any to exceed 7001. This scale of income to be guided by the population, such salary to be raised by an equitable assess ment on all property; and tithes in such parishes to be abolished for ever. When, however, a living falls, the advowson of which can be proved to be private property, the patron to receive a fair men. pensation from Government for any loss he may sustain—the living being filled up by a salaried incumbent, and tithes abolished. By these measures, your petitioners hope that not many years may elapse before that odious, vexatious, and hairassing system, which may be justly termed the bane of agriculture, as well as of veil. gion itself—the Tithe System—may be totally unknown in the United Kingdom. And your petitioners further pray, that, in order to lessen the present enormous burden of taxation, rendered insupportable by the enhanced value of the currency, which has doubted all money ebb. gam es, every public eatablishmeat, grant, pension, sinecure, and salary, be reduced to the scale of 1792. That the heavy and dig. proportioned salary allowed to the Prince of Saxe-Cobosng be re. duced four.fifths. And your petitioners take the liberty of drawing the serious attention of your Wm house to a very prevalent opinion abroad—in which your petitioners most fully concur—namely, that all the misery, wretchedness, want, and degradation, whith now afflict this unhappy country, have arisen frorn the people not being fairly represented fir the Cdnunons House of Parliament. That, as the house h now sonedtuted, few of its members have any syrups. thy with the people. Thant large sums of the public money me voted by themselves into their own packets, or into these of their Mende or relations. That great numbers of them are the mere nondwess of the Peers, or *the powerful %silvans''s-1a support Of which your pendently beg to state, that Mr. (bey (now bred Otey)sibed prove at your bit That 134 persons returned an absolute Majority he per Houle.

Mayor, in the Cask ; when, after as Waled A nn of the Dumb* that paste between the mine sad the 'Mesa diegn Of tbe Cenral, the Meeting elgetena was still frozen, and the ice on the left side of the bridge, called the Schlacht Brucke, was piled up in enormous masses as high as the coffeehouse windows, which are usually 20 feet above the level of the river. It is quite impossible to give you any true idea of the honors produced by this terrible inundation. It stole upon the un suspecting su&rers in the night, when all were plunged in calm repose, and advanced with such inconceivable rapidity,• that fu many instances, only one or two members of large families had time to escape; and even those that reached a place of safety were obliged to remain the whole night in a state of almost entire ru. dity, exposed to the inclemency of the air. In some houses whole families have been found drowned in their beds ; in others they had climbed up the chimneys to the roofs of their houses, and many bodies have been found naked in the court-yards, caked in ice, and bearing the appearance of crystallised corpses. The num. ber of animals that have perished is enormous. In the Itosau, which is the poorer suburb of the two, not a little family but hag lost its cow, hone, and pigs--many several of eseh ; and in the hussar barracks alone 40 horses have perished. As to the number of human beings that have been carried off, I should be cautious iu sending you any estimate. People talk of only two hundred, yet this would seem but few; it is, however, impossible to form any just notion, for the waters have as yet but little subsided, and till they have completely fallen the ground floors of the houses, where the greatest damage has been done, cannot be entered. The whole of the three last dayis has been passed in rowing about to the different houses to furnish the half famished inhabitants with bread, wine, and water, which you may suppose is no easy task, if it is to be done equally and effectually through every part of so large a district; especially as the supply of boats is extremely inefficient. Several members of the Imperial family have evinced the utmost humanity on the occa sion, by rowing round in person to the meanest habitations to dis tribute, gratis, such provisions as the superior houses are obliged to pay for at an exorbitant price. Had this not been done, many of the poorer class would certainly have perished of hunger. The Archduke Charles, who was still plunged in the deepest affliction from the severe loss he has lately sustained, no sooner heard of the dreadful event, than it roused him from his overwhelming grief ; his exertions, as well as 1 1 those of the Prince hereditary and Archduke Louis, have been inces sant. If you should show this letter to any one conversant with the localities of Vienna, it will be interesting to them to know that the Jsgerzeil• is now one long uninterrupted canal, and the Pratert one entire lake. At some little distance from the river, on its right bank, is one of the wood markets, where the wood is heaped up in logs three feet long, in masses of two or three hundred feet in length. The water of course reached the spot, and yesterday afternoon, when the ice by the Schlacht Brucke broke away, im mense quantities of wood were floated off, so that the whole sur. face of this arm of the stream was completely covered with fuel. It is computed that 1,000 klafter (six square feet) of wood has thus been carried away. During the frost, the klafters fetched 40 paper florins; about lf. 12s. Dimwit 4.—Since writing the above, I have had the curiosity to go to the top of the Cathedral, which, a ft er that ateStrasber g , is con. sidered the highest in Europe. The frost has now set in again ; the thermometer this morning at seven deg. below aero (Reaumur.) The atmosphere was clear and blue ; not a cloud intercepted the rays of the sun. The view towards the north, In its present situation, beggars all description ! Not only the suburbs on that side, but the plain beyond, lie under water. From the very foot of the slope on which the town stands, as far as the eye can reach to the north, is one interminable sea. The whole March Feld is a boundless expanse of water, and as it lies uncommonly low, the innumerable villages with which it is interspersed, espe. daily those nearest the river, have almost dbappeared. In some places no trace is left but the spire of the village church : in others the roofs of the cottages are still visible. I fear the computation that seta the loss of barium life at 200, will prove at least tieree.foutths sheet of the truth. Five o'clock, Thursday Evening. There is searady any one home where some individual has not perished la the two abwertnestiesed sabwrbs. News has also reached us that Prabmg is in the mine audition. There can be little doubt that the munbee of deaths will reach some thousands. A hard frost has again set in.
