Letters addressed to the Proprietors, To Mr. CONGREVE. _ _ Sir,—After a lapse of twelve months since I made trial of your most excellent Balsamic Elixir, I can with the greatest possible confidence speak in the highest terms of its healing properties; from the beneficial effects it produced in a complaint under which I had long suffered, and more especially for the last four years, baying been at times so much allicted with Spasmodic Asthma, that I was compelled frequently to be propped up in bed, passing most wearisome and sleepless nights, gasping for breath, and in expectation of instant suffocation; my de liverance from such a condition can be better conceived than expressed, and my thankfulness has been directed to Him who alone can give the healing virtues to medicine. I now enjoy most comfortable re pose, and am at present in a better state of health than for many years previous. I am, Sir, Your very grateful and humble servant, JOSEPH CARSTAIRS, Writing Academy, 114, Lombard-sttect, May 5,11129• To Mr. CONGREVE. SlR.—The whole of my family had been afflicted with truly dia. tressing Coughs for a considerable time ; and, although we had the best medical aid, found no relief, until we heard of the successful ad ministration of your balsam in several desperate and almost hopeless cases, which induced us to give it a trial; and I now feel happy to say, that myself, wife, and child (after taking only two bottles) are entirely freed from those tormenting sensations occasioned by incessant cough kg, and perfectly restored; which ptompts us to declare it one of the cheapest, safest, and best specifics in the world fur Coughs of every de scription.

SAINSBURY. 2, Apollo Court, Fleet. , London, Dec. 14, ISE% To Mr. CONGREVE. _ . about the age of fifteen I caught a violent cold, which ter minated in Asthma. I have been a perfect victim to that disease ever since; and have tried every remedy medical men could prescribe for tne without finding the slightest relief. The complaint rapidly in creased the last two winters, so as to cause a despair of my life. I was obliged to be bolstered upright in bed for weeks together to avoid ,trangulation from the congealed phlegm which clogged my hangs, and produced the greatest distress and difficulty of breathing. This was my case, and more than I can tell you, when I first heard of your valuable medicine. I was astonished at its speedy efficacy, for alter taking a few doses, I felt the disorder to be giving way. It produced expectoration in a way I never before experienced, and much relieved my breath. I went to bed on the third night after taking it, and slept with great composure until five o'clock the next morning. lam uow perfectly free from every symptom of the disorder, My age is forty.

THE LATE LORD CHARLES SOMERSET. We had lately the painful task to record the death of the Right Honourable Lord Camara HENRY SUMER/11T General in his Man jesty's service, who departed this life at Brighton, on the 20th ult. His Lonlshii) will be long regretted by his afflicted family and a numerous circle of friends, to whom he had been endeared from early life by an uniform exercise of those virtues which most com mand affection. Lord Charles filled while in Parliament the office of Joint Pay master of the Forces, and held at various periods important military conunands; but that by which he was best known to the public, and wherein he was more eminently distinguished, was the high situation of Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, which he held during several years, with great advantage to the public interests and with equal credit to him ' self. In the exercise of a wise and equitable, though at the same time finn l and vigorous administration it was the fate of his lordship to incur the hos tility of a faction,not less opp.wed to the control of all leg itimate authority, than reckless and unsentoulous 4n their efforts to im pede its functions. The bold assertions of interested parties, the unsparing use of personal defamation and the dexterous use of topics butted to the vulgar taste, though obv iously inapplicable to the nature of a Colonial Government. I succeeded for a while in propagating ignorant delusions respecting the administration of the settlement at the Cape. Lord Charles Somerset was represented to the British public its a man of stern and arbitrary disposition, enforcing, in n spirit of harshness and severity, a system de trimental to the hest interests of the Colony, and obnoxious to the feel ings of its inhabitants. The firmness and energy of character which Lord Charles Somerset fortunately possessed enabled him to withstand, and finally to overcome, the current of porular injustice. It is indeed too certain that the feelings of a mind, Julians of the untarnished he none he inherited from an illustrious ancestry, were lacerated by the attacks of which he was the object into a state of nervous sensibility, which latterly hastened his decline. Relying, however, with a noble confidence on the candour and discernment of his countrymen, and conscious that the accusations of his enemies would.prove eventu ally as false in fact as they were rancorous in spirit, he outwardly maintained, under the calumnies by which lie was oppressed, a mild and dignified composure. Like the immortal Hastings, who, while encountering the rage of faction, and calmly braving the virulence of invective, foresaw the sure though distant triumph which truth and justice ultimately obtained, Lord Charles Somerset opposed the tenor of his public life to the inveterate malice of his assailants. lie enjoyed the satisfaction of having possessed the entire confidence anti approba don of his Majesty's governinent at home during the long period for which he had presided over so important a dependency of the Crown.— On such an acknowledgment of tiis services he might have been content to stake his civil reputation ; but resting on the higher grounds of con scious rectitude and honour, be challenged inquiry with a calmness and resolution which attested the integrity of his cause. The falsehood and absurdity of the charges preferred against him became. on calm investi gation, apparent to his most prejudiced opponents. The candour with which the present Lord Chancellor acknow ledg ed the futility of various allegations, on the faith of which he bad a rrai gned Lord Charles's con duct. must be fresh in the public recollection. His lordship subac. quendy received a more complete and signal vindication on the return of papers moved for in the House of Commons on 17th May and Bth June. 1827. In ;hem was found the most convincing evidence, not only of Lord Charles Somerset's enlightened and comprehensive plans for the Advancement of the colonial interests, but of his truly patriotic spirit in sacrificing the emoluments of his office to the equity of those financial regulations which it was one of' the earliest measures of his Government to introduce. To the welfare of the Colony his time and faculties were uniformly devoted ; and the extension of its resource', the improve ments of its agriculture, and the schemes of utility which he projected and encouraged, to the occasional detriment of his private fortune, will long attest the practical benevolence with which he laboured for the public good. On resigning the Government of the Cape Lord Charles Somerset received the most affectionate demonstrations of general grati tude and respect. The Addresses presented to him on that occasion by numerous bodies of the settlers and inhabitants expressed their unani mous regret at his departure, their sense of his solicitude to improve the prosperity of their condition, their lasting recollection of his private trot* and the feelings of personal attachment inspired by his domes. tie vittues. In the more tender and intimate relations of society the character op this lamented nobleman was truly estimable and engaging. He pos seued a generous nature, and a heart overflowing with kindness to the numerous objects of his affection. His manners were elegant anti noble : they bespoke the refinement of his feelings, and personified the dignity of his descent. Among the moral graces which adorned his dispositior his love of truth was honourably conspicuous. He was not a man of indiscriminate profession, but he was ready to the attachments which he formed, and inflexible in the performance of his promises. He des. plan] the littleness of dissimulation, and, by the high-mirded sincerity which regulated his actions, he preserved to his last hour the undivided confidence of his friends. By them, and by all who had the happiness d knowing' him, his loss will be severely felt. His memory will be cherished with veneration by the Colony, of which he was the benefactor. In the records of a county, so long the theatre of his exertions, his ta. lents and ingenuity will find an honourable illustration ; and the town which, created by his hand, was fostered. into importance by his pro tection will doubly answer his paternal wishes for Its welfare, if', while im Leers the name and perpetuates the remembrance of its founder, it teaches futute Governors to emulate his laudabie example. On Friday the Hon. Colonel Tow nshend was elected one of the Representatives for tie borough of Whitchurch, in the room of J. R. Townshend, now Lord Viscount Sydney. The reduction of Salaries' Committee have abolished the salaries of Lord President of the Council and Lord Privy Seal. The Secretaries of the Treasury are to have 2,5001. , and the Under Secre taries of State 1,5001. a-year. We understand that Lord Althorpe has given an assurance to the dkillers in Edinburgh, that the subject of the repeal of drawback upon spirits made from malt only will not be entertained by Govern ment without previously receiving every consideration.

The Order in Council system pitied towards our Crown C.thtnics In the West Indies, is ar length producing that spirited rem•tance on ,lie pan of the Colunists,which every ratiosal being foresaw must 11:•tnittely follow the rash experiments made by Minister,, without am salutary check either from the law or the legislature. From a copy of tt,e Tri nidad Guardian, which has just reached us, and which hest, date the 26th November List, we observe that a very numerous and revectable general meeting of the inhabitants of Trinidad had been held on the 2:11 of last month, to tame into consideration the propriety of notsiMming a Committee to`conespood with the Standing Committe of thell'zst I tali.i Planters and Merchants in London, and of adopting such other mea sures as should be deemed requiai:e and proper for protectir4 Cie rights and promoting the interests of inc inhabitants. At this meeting several gentlemen spoke with great spirit and ability on the subject of their treatment by the - Wolter country, and the consequent injury done to their interests ; and in conclusion it was re solved, that, as above noticed, a Committee be appointed, with autho rity to make to his Majesty's Government and the other branches of the British Legislature, such representations respecting the actual state of the political, commercial, and agricultural interests of the colony, anti such suggestions for the amelioration thereof, as they rimy consider I most conducive to the general advantage ; and for ibis or any whet purpose, to enter into correspondence with the acting Committee of the i cat India merchants and planters in London, and all other a,,onations and individuals who may he interested ia promoting the prooperity of the West India Colonies ;—also, that an efficient agent be ait • pointed to reside in England, for the purpose of making known t.t his Majesty's kiloliters the grievances under which the Colonists lemur, and of endeavouring to procure some relaxation of th.:ir bur dens, and some improvement of their political condition; with full power and authority to adopt such other measures for promoting the interests of the colony, at all times, and in all places, as to him shall scent pro per ;—and, farther, that the Committee be directed to prepare an Ad dress to the Coinmoos of Great Britain in Parliament assembled, call ing their attention to the peculiar grievances of the inhabitants of Trinidad, and praying for an amelioration thereof ; and especially praying that she lolunante of the colony should be empowered to el egise sosseefreorsol Gonad over the enannouffaxidon, and some ex andaation into the extravagant expenditure of the public money, under the influence whereof their properties are fast falling into decay ; and that tbe Committee shall take all the uiaite measures for procuring t h saa jg a ile. lorwallied se Mud. sad resented to the Bosse .aMt•isers. as sow as This is the cmlyereetual way= the West India Colonies can stem the tide of popular erect and prejudice that at present flows so strongly against them, and we therefor. congratulate Trinidad on the inirited example she has thus exhibited.
