MANY Merchants, Tradesmen, and others, having sus tained very considerable loss in allowing the contraction of Debts on Credit, to recover which, by the usual process of law, they are exposed to great risk and expense, to the well-known prejudice of mer cantile and other transanctions—THOMAS TOQKE, Solicitor, of 41, Stamford-street, begs to announce that he has been requested by many of his Clients and Friends to limit one part of his practice to the recovery of Small Dctls exclusively. In adopting the suggestion, Mr. TOOKE begs to add, that he pur poses reviving the practice of County Courts by Writ of JusTicz a, under which Debts to any amount mr, i ,y be recovered, and other causes of action tried thereby : and it is worthy of remark, that the Writ of Justicies may be directed to the Sheriff of any English County or City. With reference to the expense attending the summary and effective proceeding by Writ of Justicies, It is worthy of remark, also, that under no ordinary circumstance can the same exceed Einwr POUNDS, and the plaintiff can rely upon a final decision of his suit within the space of a few weeks at that comparatively trifling risk and expense. In order therefore to bring into general usage, sad to establish so useful a branch of practice, Mr. TOOKE eolielluise pa.. tronage of the public, that the tendency may be that of affording to the honest, but unfortunate Defendant, the means of arranging with his Creditors, and to the latter a guarantee against the great risk and ex pense attending the Institution of Suits in the Superior Courts, the effect of which, has in too many instances proved ruinous to both parties. Conveyances, &c. expeditiously prepared at the following unprecc dente:lly low expenses, which include all charges for attendances, &c.

Mr. TOOKE also informs the Public, that upon Property, whether teal or personal (if at all eligible), he will advance, or cause to be ad mncetl, sums varying from One Hundred Pounds to any amount. All Letters are requested to be forwarded free. JUST CO NI PLETED, Under Their Maje,ties' Special Sanction and Patronage. Part XII. now ready, from Engravings on Steel; by Mr. T.

Major Ryan, 50th regiment, commanding at Six-mile Bridge, is ap pointed a magistrate of the county Clare. The band and escort of the 74th regiment, returned to Limerick, on Thursday, front Ennis, where they had been attending his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. Saturday, Captain Hogg's company of the 56th regiment, left Lime rick, for Doonass, county Clare, a distance of four miles, where they are to he stationed. Friday, two companies, and on Saturday, the last division of the 59th, under Major Waring, left for Ennis. Thursday, Captain St. Quintin's troop of the 17th Lancers, left Li merick. for Newmarket on Fergus, county Clare ; and on Saturday, Captain Clark's troop fur Ennis. Major Burrows, seventeen officers, and two hundred and fifty men of the 17th Lancers, with the band and stafi; are now stationed in Lime. rick, with a brigade of artillery, part of the King's dragoons, 56th and 74th regiments, under Colonel Worseley.

They are to be replaced by the 10th from England. Neither the 12th Lancers nor Enniskillen Dragoons had, up to Fri day, received any notice of removal—a circumstance of rather unusual occurrence, as the cavalry changes throughout the two kingdoms are generally arranged before the month of April.

Rules are attempted to be established, by which, from the height of the mercury, the com ing state of the weather may be predicted, and we accordingly find the words " Rain.," " Fair," " Changeable," " Frost," &c. engraved on the scale attached to the common domestic barometers, as if, whet. the mercury stands at the height marked by these words, the weather is al ways subject to the vicissitudes expressed by them. These marks arc, however, entitled to no attention : and it is only surprising to find their use continued in the present times, when knowledge is so widely dif fused. They are, in fact, to be ranked scarcely above the nor sklki. runs, or astrological almanack. Two barometers, one near the level of the river Thames, and the other on the heights of Hatnpstead, will differ by half an inch ; the latter being always half an inch lower than the former. if the words, therefore, engraved upon the plates are to be relied on, similar changes of Weather could never happen at these two situations. But what is even more absurd, such a scale would inform us that the weather at the foot of a high building, such as St. Paul's, must always be different front the weather at the top of it. It is observed that the changes of weather are indicated, not by the actual height of the mercury, but by its change of height. One of the most general, though not absolutely invariable, rules is, that when the mercury is very low, and therefore the atmosphere very light, high winds and storms may be expected. The following rules may generally be retied upon, at least to a cer tain extent : 1. Generally the rising of the mercury indicates the approach of fair weather ; the falling of it indicates the approach of foul weather. 2. In sultry weather the fall of the mercury indicates coming thun der. In winter, the rise of the mercury indicates frost. In frost, its fall indicates thaw • and its rise indicates snow. 3. Whatever ch ange of weather suddenly follows a change in the barometer, may be expected to last but a short time.—Thus, if fair weather follow immediately the rise of the mercury, there will be very little of it ; and, in the same way, if foul weather follow the fall of the mercury, it will last but a short time. 4. If fair weather continue for several days, during which the mer cury continually faUs, a long continuance of foul weather will probably ensue : and again, if foul weather continue for several days, while the mercury continually rises, a long succession of fair weather will pro bably ensue. 5. A fitictuattng and unsettled state In the mercurial column indi cates changeable weather. The domestic barometer would become a much more useful iostru ntent, if, instead of the words usually engraved en the plate, a short list of the best established rules, such as the above, accompanied it, which might be either engraved on the plate, or printed ea a card. It would be right, however, to express the rules only with that degree of probability which observation of past phenomena has justified.— There is no rule respecting these effects which will hold good with perfect certainty in every caw. It appears that, from the number of erroneous reports re ceived of the deaths of naval officers, which in some cases have occasioned inconvenience to the service, and consi derable anxiety to the families of individuals, it has been found absolutely necessary to discontinue the publishing of that information. It is, therefore, intended in future not to omit the names of officers in the list, until their deaths shall have been officially reported. FROM FRIDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS. Mg JO, J.

THE CIVIL LIST. At a period when the fornication of the civil list of a new reign, is under the consideration of Parliament, and engages the attention of the public, it may not be uninteresting to our readers to know what were the sentiments of a popular writer, in the year 1774, upon the subject of court expen diture. Dr. Burgh, in the 2d vol. of his political disquisi tions, says— ., To trust our all, without account, to a set of frail men, and then to put those men in such circumstances as are likely to betray us— what end can be imagined more contrary to wisdom. Several millions a year laid out in supporting the power of the Court. And this not I ' sufficient ; of such a glowing nature is corruption, Nothing of this boundless, unaccountable waste could have place in a republic. Ido not mention this as any rale:ion on our kings. I t I is but a small part of this immense sum that Is consumed by them in Irropria persona, or that is laid out on their families. But in a Republic, Judge Blackstone would not have wrote as follows :—' It is impossible to support that dignity which • King of Great Britain should maintain, with an income In any degree less than what is now established by Parliament.' According to the learned judge, whatever is, is right. But surely, with all due submission , the dignity of a British monarch does not consist in his spending arge sums of his poor people's money ; but rather in his sparing their purses, and set ting them an example of frugality. With the learned judge's good leave. it is the dignity (if dignity it must be called) of the ministry and their new, much more than the King's, that devours the civil list. So that the plain English of what the learned judge has written. will be what folloys.—' it is impossible to support that influence which a British minister should maintain, with an income in any degree less than several millions per annum,'.—than which I cannot conceive a more ruinous political doctrine. Reverting. to this topic in a subsequent passage, the Dr. says— " If die nobility were to serve their country la the great offices of state, grafts, the heroism would be nothing more than is shewn by private trustees, arbitrators, church-wardens, overseers of the poor, and other Parish.offieers. Are thou poor low bred creatures, whom our polite courtiers call the scum of the earth, more disinterested than the nobility of ;he land ? If the nobility and gentry decline serving their.country in the great offices of state, without sordid hire, let the honest bourgeoisie be employed. Why should not our kings, when a court place falls vacant, publish, that they want a secretary of state, or a Lord Chamberlain, or a Lord Steward; places which any man of common sense or honesty can fill; the business being all mete routine? And why should they not order all persons desirous of the vacant employments to send in their proposals. sealed, (u when there is a fleet to victual , or a public work t o be done,) and aceept him who oars to serve his country on the most reasonable terms ? Let the person chosen bring in his bill of expenses. There is no reason why the public should nut repay what is fairly laid oat tor the public benefit. If it should be thou g ht proper to give a statesman who has shown himself able and honest, 500 guineas fot a ring, as was given the great Admiral Drake for services of greater danger and more importance than those of our state secretaries, I have no objection. But that half our nobility should be on the parish, I mean on the public, I own I see no manner of reason ; nor that a set of places, which might be filled at the expense of a few hundreds a year, must cost the nation many hundred thousands, while we are sinking in a bottomless sea or debt. "Ask the courtiers what produces the present clamours, and all clatnours against government, which is always immaculate? They will answer the desire of places and preferments ; which may be I partly true. But why then do they not reduce the incomes of the places , u low as is Holland ? Why des, they not abolish all that are useless ? They do the very contras y. They are continually increasing the num. bee, if not the value of t hem. Th e y are continually heaping on fuel, and then they swear and blaspheme, because the fire continues to rage. Instead of the challenge whose ox, or whose ass has the King (or the Minister) taken • we may ask the crew, when farthing candle, or whose small bee; have they not taxed ? A poor bard-working man, 1 who has a wife and six children to maintain, can neither enjoy the glo rious light of Heaven, nor the glimmering of a tallow taper, without paying the window•tax, and the, candle•tax. He rises earlyond sits up late • be fills up the whole day wi t h severe labour, he goes to his dock - be d with half a bellyfull 41. bread sad cheese, that his wife and little atarvellogs may hate the more. In the meanwhile the exactore of these taxes are revelling at Mrs. Cornelly's maaqiserade, at the expense of more money for one evening's amusement than the wretched hard working man, who I. obliged to find the mossy for them to squander, can earn by belt -a-year's severe labour." CHOLER .4 MORBUS. A Report has been presented to the Council of Health, at Paris, by M. Moreau de Jones, upon the irruption of the pestilential cholera ruorbue, into Russia, in the mime, and autumn of 1830. It appears front this production, that the author had been specially commissiened by the council to watch the progress of this dreadful niniaily since its appear ance in India in 1819. and that the present is the tenth report which he has produced in the discharge of thatduty. He adverts to the information contained in Ids Ninth Repo; t, with regard to the ravages co fitted by the cholera in the Government of Orenburg, in . Vte vicinity of the Caspian Sea, in the year 182 1 :0 0 .and says, that the conjecture he had expressed of its heti!) . g been introduced by one of the caravans from Bokara, seems to be confirmed by the qua rautine regulations to which tin Russian Government 1. t since since subjected the ineecouree with that city. Bo kara is the Brand commercial entrep.it of central Asia, and the caravans employed in the trade het -veen it and Orenburg, have, since the year 1813, freqiunitly carried off from 3,001) to 4,000 men, with • many camels loaded with the mer chandize of Thibet, Cebu!, and Indostan. Though the cholera of Orenhurg seems thus to be traced to India as its source, there is reason te suppose, that the cholera which ravaged the southern provinces of Russia in the course of last year. did not arrive by the route of Orenburg. The great fair of Nijni-Noweered, which brings together up wards of 100,000 do:!ers in the commodities of Asia, hay - ing been held i n 1830 , w i thout the manifestation of any contagious disorder, it is concluded that the severity of the winter in 1829-30, together with the rigid measures of pre caution enforced by goverantent, lied extinguished the germs of the dieease in Orenburg. The pestilential malady of 1830 is traced to Indic theme!, another channel. It menifetod itself at Basso-all in 1821, in consequence of the inte.couree between that place and Bombay, and thence ascending along the FA' I hrates, spread into Syria on the one hand, and into Persia on the other. In Syria it disappeared during the succeeding winter, but again burst forth, in the spring of 1822, with redoubled virulence, and continued its ravages during that and the year 1823, when it suddenly became extinct befor it had reached the Egyptian frontier. In Persia, the coats • glen, in the course of two years, extend,d itself as fur as the shores of the Caspian ; and in September, 1823, it broke out at Astracan, and in the Rusiian flotilla on the Volga. Its farther propagation, however, in that direction was, upon this oczasion, checked by a premature frost, and the measures adopted to prevent its re-appearance in the en suing season proved effectual. In the apprehension of a contrary result, the Ituesian Goeernment applied to the Pa risian Council of Health for advice, whe sent to St. Petersburg M. Moreau de Joues's Report of 1823, with a request. that the medical observations made on the symptoms and treatment of the disorder at Astracan should be communi cated to the counci.. To this request no reply was made— " a circuinstence," s les the reporter, " which need not ex cite any surplise. wh...n it is recollected with how much indif ference these matters are treated in countries not so remote." When the cholera first made its appearance in Persia, the sovereign of that country, shut up in Teheran, suspended all communication s ith the infected districts, and thus kept that capital free front the contagion for a series of years. His vigilance, however, relaxed in 1829, and in the motel' of October, the cholera manifested itself in the royal resi dence. The approach of winter inteerupted its progress ; but in the month of June, 1830, it agai 'broke out in the Persian provinces of Chirvan and Meteanderan, and proceeding along the sout hem shore of theiCespian, re;acheil Recht, Zinzi.i, and Tauris. The deaths by i• in Tauris alone amounted to 5000. Crossing' the Hossein frontier, it pene trated into New Georgia, and tile provinces of Ch , ki and Ganja ; and by the 2d of eugu .t, the cases of infecti in in that quarter amounted to 4,557, of which 1665 proved fatal. O n the Bth of the same month, it made its ap, earance at Tiflis, and, according to a letter from the French Consul, from the fatal effects of the disease, and the fright of those wishing to escape them, a population of thirty thoneand persons was, in the course of a few weeks, reduced to eig:it thousand. On the 31st of July, the first symp:oms of the contagion were discovored at Astracan ; and in ten days from that dat?. of 1229 patients, 433 died. On the 17th of August. the date of the latest account referred to in the Report, the deaths were mare than 100 per day. In the province of which Astracan is the capital, there perished, in a s:agle fortnight 21;268 inhabitants. From Astracan, the contagion, ascending along the banks of the Volga, soon reached Douskaia, the nearest point of communication be tween that river and the Don, which falls into the sea of Azof. Taking the latter direction, it, by the beginning of October, bad advanced as far as Sebastopolis, at the southern extremity of the Crimea ; and, soon after, notwithstanding the utmost vigilance on the part of the constituted authori ties, a few cases of the malady are understood to have oc curred at Odessa. The contagion, in its westerly progress, reached Moscow by the 28th of September, having, within two months from its appearance at Astracan, traversed a space of 350 leagues in length, and in little more than the same period, spread over a surface of forty-six thou sand five hundred square leagues, a space surpassing in ex tent France, Germany and the Netherlands. The statements respecting the effects of the disorder at Moscow, are al ready known to our Readers. They suggest the observa tion, that the danger of being attacked by the pestilential cholera is less in the high latitudes of Europe than in the warm countries of Asia; but that, in the cases of the indi viduals Bei* by it, its tropical virulence undergoes no di minution. In both regions, the proportion of deaths is from one-third to one-half of the total number of patients. In this respect, the cholera seems to be subject to the same law as the European yellow fever, compared with that of tropical America.
