CHOLERA MORBUS CURED BY MORI SON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLIL— The President and the Beard of the British College of Health, New.road, King's Cress, Landon, co referring the British Public to their former statement of the undoubted success of the Universal Medicines in stopping the ravages of the Cholera Morbus In the Baltic, as given, verbatim, from Mr. M. Gatdner, their general Agent far the County of Durham, (who had supplied several Baltic vessels with the Medicine), beg leave to lay before the Public another letter, received this day from the same gentleman, contain ing a still more corroborative proof of their full efficiency on this devastating scourge : "To Memo. Mariam!, Mat, and CO. " Gentlemen,—Having received a letter front Capt. Lang ley, of the trading vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately arrived at Hull from Higa, I transmit you a copy, which you will feel to be your duty to publish to all the world. " ' Dear Friend,—Respoming the Universal Medicines of the British College of Health, which Yon an fortunately provided me with. at Suede:land, I have every reason to be lieve, and, indeed, I am convinced that they were the means of preserving my own life to well as some hundreds more at Riga, a great many of whieb I was an eye minims to. • "' Onany first arrival at Riga, I commeneedmaking the Pills as a preventive or preparation for the attack, to stay its violence if assaile d; by which means a free passage through the body prevented the infectious air from producing that fatal cramp in the stomach and limbs which has caused the death of thousands. On the 28th of May, however, I was most violently mind with that dreadful disorder, and for the first four hours was in a deplorable state, but, thank God, from the precautions I had used, the noxious air passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp, and a few strong doses of the Universali soon restored me to health. All my mess (except one who was too timid_ to take the Pills with sufficient strength, from the fear of being too violently purged, who died in a few hours), took the Pills nightmnd morning, and wen saved. " ' To satisfy the poor fellow who died I got bim some medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the least, as he ceased to exist• soon after, first becoming cold as a lump of ice and of a dark blue colour. I cannot think the Cholera infectious or contagions from the touch, as none of us were ...ffected from handling the corpse. " I left Riga or. the Bth .of June, and got down to Bauldra the same day, all well, but on the 10th the mate and a boy were both taken lil with this dreadful disease,, and, for six days, were to a distressing state, but with a dose and powerful application of the Pills, were restored to lull' health. " lam happy us say I have every reason to believe that this Medicine alone is all-sufficient to atop the ravages of this dread evil, but that its 'powers arc best applied at an early &Uwe, or as a preparative. - - ‘" The value of the Medicine am hi the highest estima- tion at Riga, and great lamentatioos were made at the scanty lupply that could be obtained from me and the rest of the tts.sehi who had supplies from you. Had I had 4100 worth more I could have sold them all, even to the French doctors that were there.' " The whole of the letters that have come to Sandaled from those vessels which had supplies of the Medicines out, speak with the same raptures of their efficacy.

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1831. °. 13,903. APPEAL TO THR PRIVY COUNCIL FOR PERMISSION TO BURT OR BURN HINDOO WIDOWS ALIVE. A subjectconnected with the dearest intimate' humanity is at present undergoing disoeuion be. for. the Privy Council, if the hearing of such an appeal as that for permission to bury or burn alive the most innocent and helpless of -.human being. can be said to admit of deliberation. This horrid Appeal ls made by a few Brahmins or Priests, in Bengal, who see in the abolition of mach an infer nal right the esmaieusing .leem6lll at the boil powers with which they have se Imegimpt of their countrymen in the most profound igno rance and appalling debasement. The diabolical custom to which we allude had its origin in the excessive jealousy of the early Hindoo Princes for their female conneotions; and, therefore, with a view to prevent their numerous widows forming subsequent attachments, they availed themselves of irresponsible power, and with the effectual aid of the priests, under the cloak of religion, it wm ordained, u if by sacred autho rity, that the wives of a Hindoo of every caste who desired future beatitude, should immolate them sakes on the demise of their husbands Avarice added fearful strength to this cruel ordinance, for by the Hiodoo law of inheritance, as prevailing in the lower provinces, and where, consequently, Suttees were the most numerous, e wife inherits an equal share of her husband's property, and it therefore became a matter of direct interest to the relatives of the deceased, that the intervening tea tretix should quit the world as soon as possible. In the Upper Provinces, where this testamentary enactment does not exist, Suttees were, compara tive speaking, but few ! From religious superstition and insatiable cupidity arose a most unnatural state of society : sons and brothers were to be seen urging the living sacrifice of mothers and sisters; administering the stupify ing or intoxicating draught, which would either render the wretched victim unconscious of her im pending fate, or stimulate her by threats when reason became dethroned ;—then, =outrun t•lsor rendum' were they beheld kindling the funeral pile for the hellish destruction of her who gave birth or was nurtured in the same womb with the fell destroyers ! 1 To depict• the horrid scenes which took place at these atrocious murders would be beyond the power of language; often the wretched woman, (when the with* and bands which had artfully bound her to the scorched and putrid body of bins who had been her isteebeiad, wore buesed.ossoder) has bees seen to lush, in the agony of death, to the edge of the flaming pile, and with outstretched, lace rated arms, implore mercy and protection from her demoniac torturers, but her sons, her brothers, her nearest and dearest kinsmen were amongst the first to strike her back with their clubs, and .to cut loose the huge superincumbent mass of wood, oil, straw, and other inflammable materials, which so in immersed the living and the dead in a vast gulph of fire ! Some idea may be formed of the number of these dreadful outrages against God and man by referring to the mere authenticated or Govern ment registered cases in the Bengal Presidency 'alone, for a few years ; the number of unregistered are so numerous it would be scarcely possible to hazard a conjecture. liambor of Rogiolerad Slakes in glee Bowl Proslelekey alone, fro* 1816 to 1828.

In fact, since the decisive battle of Plessey, in 1756, when the British power in India became firmly established, upwards of seventy thousand widows have been (although living under the pro tection of parliament, and claiming our guardian ship as British subjects) cruelly massacred ! What horrible imaginings may net be conjured up at this " murder most foul, strange, and unnatural?" In tikes 9f pestilence to which India is sub ject, when thousands upon ,thousands perish, the dreadful state of society may in some degree be conjectured, and 14 all times the myriids of help less orphans cast upon the cold charity of a selfish world, makes the blood boil with indignation to think that such crimes have been so long and so iniquitously tolerated. A Brahmin possessing the privilege of marrying as many wires as he pleased, and .the demoralized, priest-ridden farmer or peasant thinking the high est honour conferred on his family, was, by hi, sacerdotal pastor seizing on all his female children was glad to add as much wealth as he could to the all-powerful temptations of,youth and beauty, hence the number of immolations in this caste was f4r greater than any other. Twenty-two females, fur instance, were burned with Ununtu, a Bramin, who died et Bagnapore. This priest had more than one hundred wires. The fire wa4 kept kindling for t l tireo dais. Oa .the first dish three wives were burned; on the second day,, six and the third day, the remainder. Ununtu hut married in one houeelq9r sisters. two of whom war burned with rt his coyest.

In some instances they were uld, blind, an decrepid, at eighty, ninety, anst - even 95 years cot, 'age; bat the grom.re•rjority were young, hat being a Brahmin's strongest incentive. It will be seen from the following table that sixty-two of the ateedered widows were perfect. children. This, amount is derived from an annual list laid before Parlimmet for five yens, from 1815 to 1820, and we repeat, this is merely die register ad return : Ags„,.. 17 16e 18 18 14 13 12 10 8 al load J 4 1 22 6 3• 1 10 1 3 Who can read such a statement as the forego. tug and not blush for human nature, and what Britons' to think when they hear that a himself a mea,nay- moss an Itingli•b• MAR , (goading beams the Privy Council of ibis Cbristifwand most humane nation for permis sion to resume the perpetration of such deeds ?

Has be no kindred feeling with humanity ? or does he feast his insen sate soul with dreams of savage delight at the hellish torture awaiting lovely, virtuous, angelic woman ? Who that lays claim to the slightest particle of feeling; but would shun as a plague, the wretch who has travelled fifteen thousand miles of the trackless ocean, had his life saved from the perils of shipwreck by a merciful Providence, and after many months deliberation since his landing on the free shores of Albion, has thus dared to cast a stigma on this nation by supplicatingfrom the Privy council of our beloved and revered monarch a li cence for the recontinuation of a rite which only the devil himself could conceive or demons execute! • This At torney was in Calcutta,,on the 4th Dec. 1829, 'when Lord W. Bentinck, with a firmness to which his predecessors were stranger+, abolished, by a single stroke of the pen, the further toleration of female murder—he knows that the merciful in terposition of the British Government, in behalf of humanity, of civilisation, of Christianity, was bailed with enthusiasm by millions upon millions of the very Hindoos themselves, with the exception of a few miserable bigots in Calcutta—that a de potion, including the most,learned and wealthy 'Brahmins in Bengal, waited on the Governor Ge nerallto express their heartfelt satisfaction at his truly philanthropic act—that even at Boners's, the most superstitious and reputedly sacred place in Hindnostan, an assembly of Hinder, priests pro ceeded to meet his Lordship, and congratu late the Government on the wisdom and be nevolenoe of its meesonws, fur the protection extended to their ,helpless and unoffending countrywomen—that the whole bcdy of our noble i3epoy army were enraptured with the that net the slightest semblance o riot or dissatis faction took place throughout. all • that, since the promulgation of the Bopreme.Govern nsent edict, in 1829, not a female has been sacri ficed, and the lives of upwards of two thousand Hindoo women have been saved from the herein pile! This Attorney, we say, knew all this—be knew that Mr. (now Sir Herbert) Compton, refused a largesum of money rather than revise even the draft of a petition on this horrid subject—he knew that no British minister would hearken to so unearthly a ,prayer—he knew that nconfident hope was enter tained in Calcutta, that the general saying of the Hindoos--" Every European has his price"— would not, on this occasion, be verified ; and yet be bed the wickedness or se hypocrisy to latter the natives, that their petition mold most /nobs bly be granted, and that he -woukrreasain in Eng land at their expense until his pious mission was aeconsplished. Of the decision which the Privy Council will cense to there cannot be a doubt ; they have au thority of GOD and man for pronouncing Suttee to be deliberate murder of the most revoking kind; and they have the great Apostle of his Country men, and the most learned of Brahmins, Rajah Ramohun Roy, to inform them that such a custom is not more directly repugnant to the dictates of humanity, than it is to the gettbine, mild, and benevolent precepts of the Brahtriins, which pro claim, that " a virtuous wife ascends to heaven, if, after the decease of her lord, she devote herself to pious austerity !"—East India Magazine. • One Bathie, an Attorney, is the person who , bas re. ceived a large sum of money from a few Hindoo priests for bringing their petition to England, sod prosecuting it before the Privy Council.

It is undoubtedly true, that among the MO of an Upper Chamber ought to be accounted that of checking oac sionally the too impetuous flight f popular imp flee, and subjecting that which may be but a light r transient Caprice, to the test of calm, laborious, and reiterated deliberation. But is the eagernea of the people of England for the accomplshment of that measure, which the most exalted tater men ofGreat Britain during more than seventy years have pro nounced to be essential - to the security and per manency, not of freedom only, but of all the insti tutions of the realm,—is that to be regarded as a light and gratuitous fancy, to which the Peers, under colour of their constitutional " check ," might oppose a dogged and unrea.oni g obstacle? Un questionably not. The Royal prerogative may be perverted to evil purposes; and what happens ? Our constitution pri.nounces forma . ly, th it trial and punishment may follow.

'CONNITT'S REGISTSR.—Tit E BA RINGS AND Mn. AND MKS DEACLE.— Well, then, the C am— mittse, after all the pretended wish to have it, has been reamed. Th subject was brought Were the House of Commons on Tuesday night lest. I shall here insert, from the Morning Chronicle, the te portof-what took place. But the reader alit oh serve that this i. not sequence part, nor a t nth part, of what took place ; that the debate lasted for four hours and a half. The ref oilers li vs put in just ss bat part they pleased Almost lb* whole of what Mr. O'Connell said and t f w. at Mr. Harvey said is suppressed ; but there is enough of both left to stick to the parties for the rest of their lives. When I have i sorted the repo. t. I shall make some ob ervations upon it, always con sidering it as a mere publication, and not as any thing which has been said by any Member of the House of Commons. I beg the reader to go through every part of It with great attention; 1 shall not have tiuse to add much to it in the way of remark at present ; but about the same time that this Register will be published, the Two-penny Trash, for October, will be published, and in she I .hall, in an address to the people of Hampshire in particu lar, enter intoa complete analysis of this 'flair. 1 will there place the Bariags in their true light before the people of the county, and the people of the whose country, and the Whig Ministry also I will place in their true light. Hitherto i has been rather the private affair of Mr. and Mrs. Deacle. It is now become the affair of the whine nation. And the whole nation will see vie necessity of pouring n petitions upon petitions, repeated over and over again from the sameideces, and, from large places, two or three petitions at a time, until we obtain security for our pens ns against acts such as have been alleged against these Hampshire magistrates, whom 1 have well known fo five and twenty years, and who shall now know me, as I always told thews they should.
