TO NOBLEMEN AND GENTLEMEN. i r HE ABSOLUTE FACT, why Gentlemen -11. choose to submit to the very high Charges of their Tailors, is, because it is well known there are but few who can make a Coat, fit for a Gentleman's wear, and those few thus monopolise the Patronage of most of the Nobility and Gentry. But this monopoly can be now but of short duration, as H. FLETCHER, (from Moore's, late Bicknell and Moore's) can produce Coats, &c. &c. which cannot possibly be distinguished by the critical eye, even of a Brummell, either In make or materials, from those of any eminent Tailor in the neighbourhood of Clifford-street, or St. James's, and at very little more than half their charges, yet obtaining a fair Tradesman's Profit.

BOARD OF HBALTH. A Supplement to the Gazette of-hot night con tains a Royal Proclamation, enforcing the observ ance of strict quarantine by all vessels coming from the Baltic, or any ports where the Cholera prevails, to this country, and concludes thus ;-- " And we do further strictly exhort, enjoin, and command all Magistrates and persons in authority, and all other our loving subjects, without loss of time, to give information to us, through our princi pal Secretary of State for the Home Department, or to our Privy Council, of any person that they may know or believe to have offended against any I of the said laws or orders ; and we do hereby warn ' all persons whom it may concern, that we have given the strictest orders for enforcing, with the utmost rigour, the most punctual observance of the laws of quarantine, and all the orders, rules, and regula tions relating thereto, it being our firm determina tion, upon serious consideration of the great extent of misery and calamity which a single instance of improvidently neglecting any of these regulations may bring upon our loving subjects, to cause the severest penalties which the law has provided, or may provide, to be inflicted upon all those who may be guilty of any offence against the same ; and whereas it is also necessary to take the utmost pre caution to prevent the spreading of infection, in case the said malignant disease (which GOD in his mercy avert,) should unhappily manifest itself in any part of our United Kingdom, notwithstanding the precautions taken to guard against the intro duction thereof, We have thought fit, by and with the advice of Our said Council, to take measures for the establishment of a Board of Health, to con sist of men able, learned, eminent, and experienced in the study and practice of medicine, together with persons most capable, from their knowledge of the ports of our Kingdom, to afford assistance in the forming of regulations respectively applicable to the llocal circumstances of the said ports, such Board to be authorised and directed to prepare and digest the best rules and regulations for the speedy and effectual adoption of the most approved methods of guarding against the introduction and spreading of infection, and for purifying any ship, or house, or any place, in which any contageous disorder may have manifested itself, and to communicate the same to all magistrates, medical persons, and others of our loving subjects, who may be desirous and may apply to be made acquainted therewith. And We most strictly enjoin and command all Magis trates and persons in authority, all medical persons, and others our loving subjects, especially those within the maritime counties, to give immediate no tice to us, through our principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, or our Privy Council, in case any person or persons should be attacked with any disease attended with new and sncommon symptoms, such as to afford ground for apprehen sion that such diseaae is of the same nature as the disease called cholera morbus, prevailing in several parts of Russia, and elsewhere, in order that the most immediate and effectual measures may be taken, as well for affording due and necessary as sistance and relief to those afflicted with the same, I I as for preventing the contagion from spreading amongst our loving subjects.

TIMES.—The highest praise that can possibly be bestowed upon the Speech is, that with the ene mies of Ministry in both Houses, sensitively alive to the chief subject on which it touches, none ven tured to attack it, or propose an amendment. This is prudent on the one side, and coneiliatory on the other. " Sufficient unto the day is" the good or 1" the evil thereof." We are to have the measure of Reform brought forward next Friday ; so that impatience has not long to controul its yearnings . There is a general assurance of pet** in the Speech throughout Europe : this is gratiOing. We are sure the Belgians are not worth fithting for ;, and it is more easy to wish for nevem to the gal s lant Poles than to assist them in the attiliument of it. The affairs of finance are slightly, but not unsatisfactorily, touched. Abolition of taxes has not materially affected revenue ; and there is a pledge of frugality. This is always necessary. The subsiding turbulence of Ireland will probably relieve Ministers from the pain of either practising " a vigour beyond the law," or of fettering the freedom of well-intentioned subjects by new laws. As to cholera, or cholera morbus,—an appel lation something like Falstaff s of " an He brew Jew,"—we must leave that to the doc tors, with this consolatory information, how ever, of which they must be aware,—that con tagious disorders are ahvays least dangerous in the heats of summer and the cold of winter. The Speech is a well-written document, unassail able by criticism, and too much for the flimsy ca pacity of ultra-Toryism to combat with. The pro ceedings of this new Parliament possess undoubted interest. There are menaces of changes in party principles, but of no moment whatever. Lord Win chilsea announces that he goes back to his old friends the Tories. We always foresaw and fore told this ; but we cannot help remembering that he last year praised Lord Grey as the only consistent politician. But if Lord Grey be consistent, and still continues consistent,—of which there is no doubt—what is Lord Winchilsea, who is first opposed to him, then joins him, and then again quits him ? The course pursued by Lord Wharncliffe with res pect to the reform bill seems proper, and will, no I doubt, be adopted by others: his Lordship would throw no premature impediment in the way of the bill by an amendment to the address, or otherwise, but would discuss its merits when it came before the house. That is, in fact, the proper time. In the long debate which took place in both Houses a good deal of animated, not to say angry, discussion occurred, and a variety of extraneous topics were handled. It was gratifying, but not unexpected, to hear the cordial shouts with which his Majesty was greeted in his passage to and from Par liament. POST.—The Session of Parliament was yester day opened by his Majesty in person. In the speech delivered from the throne on this occasion, our gra cious Sovereign, in recommending the question of reform to the earliest consideration of Parliament, declares his conviction that the measures to be proposed for its adjustment " will carefully adhere to the acknowledged principles of the Constitution, by which the prerogatives of the Crown, the authority of both Houses of Parliament, and the rights and liberties of the people, are equally secured." Either the goiscl sense and patriotic feelings of the Monarch have been artfully imposed upon, or we must partake the doubt of Sir It. Peel, that the bill intended to be introduced into the present Parliament is the same that was submitted to the last. Unquestionably the old bill in no way answers to the character given of it in the sentence above quoted. That mea sure cannot be said to be framed " in adherence to the principles of the Constitution," which provides such effectual means for overthrowing it in all its most vital and essential parts ; as little can it be said to maintain the prerogative of the Crown, or secure those chartered rights of the people which it tends directly to destroy. As Lord Mahon justly ob served, the Radical reformers, who are the main supporters of the bill, desire and hope to effeot, through its means, nothing less than the dethrone ment of the King, the pillage of the church, and the destruction of all our existing institutions. Nor are they deceived ; the bill bas that direct ten dency, and is rightly viewed as the stepping-atone by which the revolutionists, infidels, republicans, and levellers, would ultimately attain their openly avowed objects. The wording of the Royal Speech was so cautious that no opposition was offered to the I address in either house, but the forcible speeches of the Constitutional party will be ihund well worthy of attention. ADV ERTI S ER- --Of the speech there is little to be said, except that it presents a masterly contrast zo the vapid and inane productions of the late Ca binet. It does not, indeed, enter into discussion respecting any points, either of foreign or domestic policy—for that would have been foreign to the speech—but i: states with clearness and brevity the present condition of the country, and also the state of its foreign relations. With regard to the for mer, his Majesty laments the distress which has occurred in some parts of the country, particularly in the West of Ireland, to relieve which his Ma jesty states, that he has not hesitated to autho rize the application of such means as were imme diately available for that purpose. This is, per haps, the only matter of news in the whole Speech —for hitherto, we were not aware that the King's Government had interfered in relieving the distress of the people of Ireland ; but the appropriation of the public money for such a cause is highly credit able to them, and cannot fail to be approved by the Collective Wisdom. The disturbances which have, taken place, both in this part of the United King dom, and in Ireland, are next adverted to. and af fqrd his Majesty the opportunity of congratulat ing the Country on the successful exertion of the PRICE SEVEN PENCE. law in repressing them, and the absence of any necessity to apply to Parliament for the delegation of higher powers than those with which the Go-, vernment is already invested. The Revenue is also I adverted to, and it must be highly satiafactory to the country to leant, as well as encouraging to the government in the further reduction of taxes, that it has not suffered in the proportion which was anticipated by many persons. No evil, in fact, can ever occur from a reduction of taxation ; for while the reduction, on the one hand, enables the people to consume taxed articles to a much greater extent than under a high system of taxation, and thus at once to benefit both the Revenue and themselves, any deficiency arising from mis ulation, can always be easily made up, either by an increase of taxation, or by a loan. With regard to our Foreign relations, the speech is not, and could not have been expected to be, very positive. The affairs of Belgium are not yet settled, as every one is aware,—in those of Poland the Go vernment appears—most unjustly in ouropinion—to adhere to the principle of non-intervention,—and " assurances of a friendly disposition" are stated to be received from all foreign Powers, and to encourage the hope that peace will be preserved. It will be observed, however, with respect to the war in Poland, that the Seconder of the Ad dress characterized it in the language which is familiar to every man's bosom, as well as to every man's tongue, namely, as a " just war;" and that it was stated in a speech of the same character in the Lords, that " the sympathy of every one could not fail to be engaged in behalf of the Poles." We trust these plain intimations of the spirit of the whole country upon the subject, are a prelude to a better and more magnanimous policy than that which has hitherto been pursued on the subject. With regard to reform—the first question adverted to by the King in his Speech— it will be seen that his Majesty recommends an early attention to the subject, and thereby proves his adhesion to, and stedfastness in, the cause. The bill will be again' brought before the House of Commons on Friday next. We hive not much to say on the debate, without an object but that of annoying his Majesty's Minis ters, which took place last night in the two Houses of Parliament. In the Commons, it was dull beyond all precedent; and had not Sir C. We therell got up at the latter end of it to enliven the house in his own peculiar and inimitable mode of dissertation, de omnibus rebus et guibusdant (this, there would not have been even an approach to fun in the whole matter. In the Lords, flippancy was the order of the day; and if our readers will but peruse the brief report of the speeches which we give elsewhere, we think they will be satisfied that such is a true statement of the case. Lords Grey and Brougham made admirable speeches ; but they formed the exceptions to the above character. HERALD.—Though the King's Speech to the new Parliament was not read, according to the ancient custom, in the Cockpit, previously to being delivered from the Throne, it was, after a new fashion, rehearsed in another place, for the pur pose of finding its way into the columns of a news paper before his Majesty had the opportunity of expressing the sentiments, thus forestalled, to the Houses of the assembled legislature. This is something like printing a debate in Parliament be fore it has taken place, and seems like a practical hint to get rid of the ceremony of delivering any Speech from the Throne on such occasions,by trans ferring that duty to the " fourth estate." Looking to the Speech, however, on its own merits, without any reference to the way in which it first came under the public eye, we shall find that it differs from many royal speeches that have gone before it, in not being merely an exemplification of the great end of language, as defined by the shrewd French man who said that " speech was bestowed upon man to enable him to conceal his thoughts." The King's Speech of yesterday does actually say something—and therefore an attempt to cri ticise it is not, as such a task with re gard to royal elocution too often has been, a vain effort to dissect a shadow. It was a matter of course that an allusion to the great question of the reform should be the first ,and most prominent feature of the Speech. The King having avowedly dissolved the last Parliament for the purpose of ascertaining authentically and constitutionally the sentiments of the people on the subject of Re , form, it was most natural that he should at the outset direct the attention of the new Parliament to that measure of transcendent interest, with the view to a final arrangement of which it had been called into existence. The allusion is, however, less distinct and definite than the public, who have so earnestly responded to the Royal call, could have anticipated. When his Majesty expresses his " confidence that, in any measures which Parliament may prepare for its adjustment, they will carefully adhere to the acknowledged prin ciples of the Constitution, by which the prero gatives of the Crown, the authority of both Houses of Parliameqt, and the rights and liberties of the people are equally secured," he recommends nothing more than what the opponents of the bill may easily reconcile with their notions of reform ; for they stigmatise the bill as " revolutionary ;" and if they admit of any measure of Reform, it is only one that will inflict the rotten boroughs for ever upon the country, as indissolubly connected with the " acknowledged principles of the Consti tution." It was to collect the people's sentiments emphatically on the bill that the parliament was die- solved, the ministers conceiving that the success of Gen. Gascoyne's motion was a declaration of the House of Commons against it. Perhaps the studied coldness of the allusion to reform may be only a dignified way of repressing the excitement upon this subject, which, now that the elections are over, it may be thought expedient to alley. Be ing ourselves friendly to dispassionate discussion, we cannot object to this. Though we advocate the principle of " the Bill," we have, from time to time, pointed out several defects in its details, and we trust that, however those details may be modified, Parliament will adhere to the great twin. ciples of utterly cutting away the supremacyt of the boroughmongers, and introducing the mid. dle classes—the strength and virtue of the State —into the enjoyment of the elective franchise. The allusion to Poland is not such as to allow the slightest hope to that country that our Cabinet will Interfere in its behalf. Poland is alluded to in the speech much in the same way as a testator alludes to a person whom he intends shall take no benefit from his will, just to shoe• that his bequeath. ing him nothing has not been an act of forgetful ness. If it be expedient not to interfere on behalf of Poland, why should the Ministry advise the King to allude to the subject at all, unless it was thought proper, at least, that the Government of this coup• try should expressly mark its sense of the grois violation of the law of nations; notoriously and shame lessly committed by the Governments of Prussia and Austria, for the injury and depression of the sacred cause of Poland, while engaged single. handed with her gigantic adversary ? If an anxious and timid love of peace have prevented us from interfering on behalf of Poland, to the support of whose independence we are bound by treaty, why do we officiously intermeddle in the affairs of Be!gium, where our inference is not wet come ? It is said, indeed, in the King's Speech. that " the principle on which those conferences have been conducted, has been that of not in terfering with the right of the people of Belgium to regulate their internal affairs." Whoever put these words in the King's mouth attempted to impose on common sense. Never was there in terference with the right of a nation to regullt( its internal affairs, if that of our Foreign See-e tary and his dictatorial protocols, in conjunc tion with the Plenipotentiaries of the " /lo:y Alliance," be not of such a nature. Nl'llat are wo to tell a people whose independence we have recognised that they shall not have this person or that person for a Sovereign—that the: shall not have this or that boundary to their terii tories—that they shall not even adjust their final'• cial relations with another country,without guiding themselves according to our peremptory decree Are we to commit ail these acts of despotic inter ference, and then to be believed when we assert that we leave such a people free and independent in the management of their own affairs. Let us suppose that the other " great Powers" met together, and dictated similar protocols to England, would she be " factious" in disclaiming such interference, or, submitting to it, would she either enjoy or deserve freedom ? The allusion to additional means to supply deficiencies in the revenue sounds ominous. It is true, it is accompanied with a hope that those deficiencies may be supplied without " any mate rial abridgment of the comforts of the people."— Alas ! the people have so few comforts to abridge, that we fear further abridgment of comfort would be equivalent to total deprivation. The reference to the distress in Ireland is judiciously connec►ed with a recommendation to Parliament to adopt mea sures which, by assisting the improvement of the natural resources of the country may prevent the recurrence of such evils. We have repeatedly stated that, unless there is a permanent r for tbe poor in Ireland, that country will bit to the periodical irritations of starvation ; Irish Landlords would rather see their tenantry beg from all the world, than have a legitimate subsis tence at home. We would not have the present system of English Poor Laws introduced into Ireland, though we would have the great prin ciple of charity recognised as part and parcel of the social system. It is also necessary that Irish Absenteeism should be checked, be fore the poverty of that country can be really alleviated or its resources developed. We like not the indirect allusion to the possibility of requiring the enactment of new laws to strengthen the executive government. The laws are strong enough if the government does its duty— too strong if it does not. Nothing is said of lau• reform, in the speech—what we wish to see is a government rejecting the support of harsh and cruel laws, but strong in the affections of the people. POST.—Yeetaday the King weot in state to the House of Lords to open the Sassion cf Parliament with a speech from the throne—a session upon the decisions of which wil depend the preservation or subversion of our happy Consti tution, under the fostering winds of which Great Britain has attained that summit of glory and prosperity, which renders her alike the envy and the admiration of the universe. On this fearful occasion, in this momentous crisis of our coun. try's fate, the experience of past times affords sufficient and safe lights for our guidance. Parliament must sternly do its duty; and uncompromisingly resist to the last the atrocious design of our Revolutionary Ministers to subvert all those wise institutions which have stood the test of ages. and the unimpaired preservation of which is the first wish that animates every uncorrupted British heart. Nothing is to be gained by yielding a single point in debate; whilst by a worthy firmness of determination every thing most dear to us as a nation may be preserved, and our venerable conati , u don saved from ruin. We observe with infinite satisfaction, that in the Commons the benches to the left of the Speaker are manned with a formidable Constitutional Opposition._ They did their duty in the last Parliament, nor will th. y be found wanting now. We turn, however, with n.ore anxiety to the Peers, for upon them the fate of the country may eventually depend. Should the outrageous measure of Reform be ever submitted to their House, we trust they will act with the energy which such a orisis requires, and refuse their sanction to a bill which would eventually determine their existence as a separate blanch of the Legislature. A rumour is current among die enemies of our institutions that some of the Spiritual LEA are wavering in their allegiance. We know that the iniuence of Government is ever active, and that men, she most conspicuous in the public eye, from birth or station, and consequently the most accessible to public an • tote, are often led from the obvious path of duty by the strong temptations which the Treasury holds out. But we do not, we esseei, we will not, believe, that men who, in their several sta. disk have fulfilled their various duties with exemplaty meal, whew mend calling invests their characters with somewhat of. tamed feeling—we will not believe that mush men will be terrified into acquiescence or cajoled into dishonour.
