BOWDEN, Waterproof Hat Maker, 17, and 27, High Street, Bloomsbury, most respectfully informs his numerous Customers and Friends he has opened the House (17) nearly opposite St. Giles's Church, partly in consequence of the increasing demand for Hats of his manufacture, and pattly to counteract an opposition forming by some individuals known by the cognomen of Jews, who have crept into the trade and dubbed themselves Hat Makers, vending an Article which the unsuspecting Purchaser might imagine, from a casual survey, to be intrinsically good, and thereby materially injuring the long-esta blished fame he has enjoyed, from the circumstance of many occasional customers not being acquainted with the precise situation of his houses. BOWDEN needs only to add, that from the extensive patronage he ban already received, (and which be with gratitude views daily extend ed) he is convinced that all articles purchased at his houses have given that satisfaction which it ever has and shall be his study to deserve ; asking as a favour from the public, and his more immediate friends, that they will please to obser►e his Establishments are only Two in that Street, ars. 17 and 27, which Houses he has endeavoured to ten. der conspicuous, thereby to avoid disappointment.

THIS remedy possesses superior advantages to all others, in counteracting the dreadful effects arising from painful den tition. It is a well known fact that many thousand clails'ren are car rtsd off annually, at this important c • • , in fits and convulsions-- No antidote hitherto introduced for alleviating the distressing paroxysms endured by the tender infant, at this period, can boast of equal merit. It cools and comforts the gums; assuages the most violent anguish consequent on their inflammation ; and its demulcent properties to soften and render elastic these acute parts as generally to pro6rce the teeth in their regular order :with incredible ease and ra pidity, without constipating the bowels and exciting other baneful ef fects; by which the necessity of lancing the gums, so pregnant with dangerous results, is entirely superseded. The fund mother, sympa thizing with her tender offspring in its writhing agonies, will be lost in astonishment at the value of thi4 discovery. It is introduced at the lowest price by the Proprietor, from the pure intention of rendering universal benefit to this class of sufferers, who ever claim our warm est sympathy.

The last number of this almost forgotten periodical was published a few days ago, and contains, among other articles, a very interesting one, on the " Causes and Cure of Dis turbances and Pauperism," in which the Poor Laws. the Game Laws, and Emigration, are touched upon. The fol lowing passage is on the necessity of promoting education among the working classes of this kingdom : " But supposing the t unemployed labourers were conveted to the colonies, that the a= s of the pow-laws were corrected, and The game-laws abolished or reconciled to the obvious pelosdples of justioe end common sense, still we have not done sesogh to mare the public , tprostael uillity. The situation of them Britain is at present without any in the history of the world, and peepant with cables. The very large proportion of was perihelion subsistence on wAseufsetures and esmuseree, and to sudden and severe reverses, Is one of those efr ties teat analogs attendees of Ito MN bounden duty of governiteit leaf di% that the chances of commercial distress, by giving chant, and especially by abolishing the misting on the corn trade--restrietions which multiply these chances of famine at the same time that they injure the agricul turist. But, do what we will, the manufacturing popula tion must always be liable to be thrown out of employ ment, and deprived of their accustomed means of support, by changes of fashion or policy at home or abroad. Surely, then, it is of the utmost importance that they should be taught to meet such trying vicissitudes, when they do occur, with patient fortitude, and without ag gravating the pressure of calamity by any rash proceedings of their own. The outrages of the agriculturists may be repressed and put down with comparatively little difficulty ; but were such a spirit to arise among the manufacturers of Lancashire as has recently prevailed in the southern counties, national bankruptcy and ruin would be the result. Let no man think that, if the spirit of discontent and outrage should once in sinuate itself into the manufacturing districts, it could be suppressed or kept down by force. So mighty amass cannot be coerced and dra gooned into obedience. If we would prolong that security which has been the principal foundation of our prosperity, we must shew the la bourers that they are intereatzd in its support • and that whatever has any tendency to weaken it, is even more Injurio us to them than to any other class. For this reason, we are deeply impres-ed with the convic tion, that parliament ought to !metro time in setting about the organise. don of a really useful system of public education. The safety of the empire depends wholly on the conduct of the multitude ; and such being the case, can any one doubt the paramount importance of the dif. fusion of sound instruction ? This is not a subject that ought any longer to be trifled with, or left to individuals or societies. The astounding exhibition of ignorance made at the late trials for rioting, skews how wretchedly the agricultural population is educated. A larger proportion of the manufacturing po pulation can read and write; but a knowledge of these duties is not enough. Besides being instructed in them, and in the duties and obligations enjoined by religion and morality. the poor ought to be made acquainted with those circumstances which principally determine their condition in life. They ought, above all, to be instructed in the plain and elementary doctrines respecting population and wages ; in the advantages derived from the institution of private property, and the introduction and improvement of machinery ; and in the causes which give rise to that gradation of ranks, and inequality of fortunes, that are as natural to society as heat to fire, and cold to ice. The interests of the poor are identified with the support of all those great principle*, the maintenance of which is essential to the welfare of the other classes. And, were they made fully aware that such is the fact, it would be a contradiction and an absurdity to suppose, that the securities fur peace and good order would not be immeasurably increased. Those revolti. donary and anti-social doctrines now so copiously distributed. would be rejected at once by an instructed population. But it is not easy to esti mate whet may be their influence in a period of political excitement and public distress, when addressed to those whose education has been en., dealt' neglected, sad wooss judgment is, in cousequatice, guided ley prejudice, and not by principle. We hope that the attention of Parliament and the country will be speedily called to this most important subject. Tise foundations of real security are beyond and above the law. They depend on the know. ledge and morals of the people. Nor can there be a doubt, that rulers who neglect to provide their subjects with the means of procuring cheap and -rally useful instruction, are justly chargeable with the neglect of a most essential duty. We have not chosen to encumber this article with any remarks as to the condition of the Irish poor. and their immigration into Eng land. These are subjects that require, and must have, a separate dim. citation." COUNT MATUSZEWItH, THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR. (Fran L'Echo de kg Aggro*, a Warsaw Journal.) Several newspapers hays announced that Count Matusze wich, the Russian minister in London, has resigned his situ ation. We do not know how far this news may be relied upon ; but we are perfectly convinced that it contains an excellent advice, which our countryman should hasten to follow. How can, indeed, Count Matuszewich employ his faculties and his talents to serve the Emperor Nicholas against his own countrymen in this struggle for life which Poland sustains against Russia for the noblest and most sa cred cause ? Will be counteract the steps which the Poles may take in England in behalf of their cause, or will he wantonly heap untruth and calumny upon a country so no bly resigned to its fate, so pure in its energetic efforts, and animated with such an ardour in the battles in which it en gages, both for its own independence and in behalf of Euro pean civilization. We fondly think he will not. In delicate positions the proper opportunity must be embraced, or else public esteem is forfeited, and when once lost, no talents, however splendid, can recover it ; this is the case every where, and particularly in England, where political pu dicky is certainly one of the first qualities required in a I statesman. Count Matussewich, a Pole by birth and origin, was educated in France, and after having finished his studies ' there with great distinction, he returned to Poland a short time previous to the campaign of 1812 against the Russian.: he then witnessed the enthusiasm of a nation ready to vin dicate its most sacred right. His father, a man of the moat extensive knowledge of public affairs, one of the most elo quent orators of the famous patriotic Diet of 1788, and a zealous defender of the liberties of his country, was at that time at the head of the financial administration of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. It was under such enlightened auspices that the young Count began his public career, and was initiated into the affairs of his country. After Napo leon's last and disastrous campaign, when the new kingdom of Poland was decreed by the Congress of Vienna, Count' Alatuszewich was appointed first secretary to Count Sobo lewski, Secretary of State for the kingdom of Poland at St. Petersburgh. He there attracted the notice of Count Nes selrode, who, atter having discovered his uncommon talents, induced him to enter the service of Russia, in which his brilliant parts, and not Count Nesselrode's patronage, as has been falsely asserted, caused his rapid promotion to the di plomatic appointment which he holds in London. No one ought to be better acquainted than he with the ills to which Poland was a prey, having been most treacher ously given up under two successive Emperors, to the arbi trary will and armed mad caprices of the Grand Duke Con stantine, which were still moro inflamed by Novosilteoff, the Russian Emperor's Comaiissary with the Polish Govers-1 ment. We say that he ought to be better acquainted with , those ills than any one else, for hie father died with grief and broten-hearted under the persecutions which the said Novesiltsoff, supported by the Grand Duke Constantine, instituted against him. Count Matuszewich began his diplomatic career under, _ diffusion of in- 1 _ formation on the subject of capital punishments, have just published, as the first of a series of articles designed for general circulation, a speech of the Right Hon. Sir Wil liam Meredith, Bart. in the House of Commons, May 13, 1777, in committee on a bill creating a new capital felony. In this speech cccurs the following very affecting cue of a young woman who was executed for stealing :—She was tried and convicted under what was then known as the " Shoplifting Act," framed ostensibly to prevent bankers, and silversmiths, and other shops, where there are com monly goods of great value, from being robbed ; but it goes so far as to make it death to lift anything off a counter with intent to steel. Under this act, one Mary Jones was executed, whose ease I shall just mention ; it was at the time that the press Imarrants were issued, on the alarm about the Falkland islands. The woman's husband was pressed, their goods seized for some debt of his, and she, with two small chil dren, turned into the streets a begging. ms a circumstance not to be forgotten, that she was very young (under nine teen), and most remarkably handsome. She went to a linen draper's shop, took some coarse linen off the counter, and slipped it under her cloak ; the shopman saw her, and she laid it down—for this she was hanged. Her defence was (I have the trial in my pocket) " that she had lived in credit and wanted for nothing, till a press-gang came and stole ber husband from her; but since then she had no bed to lie on, nothing to give her children to eat, and they were al most naked ; and perhaps she might have done something wron.2, for she hardly knew what she did." The parish officers testified the truth of this story ; but it seems there had been a good deal of shop-lifting about Ludgate - an ex ample was thought necessary, and this woman was hanged for the comfort and satisfaction of some shopkeepers in Ludgate-street. When brought to receive sentence, she behaved in such a frantic manner as proved her mind to be in a distracted and desponding state ; and the child was sucking at her breast, when she set out for T) burn gallows. _ Let us reflect a little on this woman's fate. The poet says, "An honest man's the noblest work of GOD." He might have said with equal truth, that a beauteous woman's the noblest work of GOD. But for what cause was GOD'S creation robbed of this its noblest work ? It was for no injury, but for a mere attempt to clothe two naked children by unlawful means. Compare this with what the state did, and with what the law did. The state bereaved the woman of her husband, and the children of a father, who was all their support ; the law deprived the woman of her life, and the children of their remaining pa rent, exposing them to every danger, insult, and merciless treatment, that destitute and helpless orphans suffer. Take all the circumstances together, I do not believe that a fouler murder was ever committed against law, than the murder of this woman BY LAW. Some who hear me are per haps blaming the judges, the jury, the hangman; but nei ther judge, jury, nor hangman is to blame; they are mi nisterial agents ; the true hangman is the member of parlia ment ; he who frames the bloody law, is answerable for the blood that is shed under it. But there is a further consi deration still. Dying as these unhappy wretches often do, who knows what their future lot may be ? The Mosaic law ordained, that for a sheep or an ox, four and five fold should be restored ; and for robbing a house, double; that is, one fold fur reparation, the rest for example ; and the forfeiture was greater, as the property was more ex posed. if the thief came by night, it was lawful to kill him ; but if he came by day, he was only to make restitu tion ; and if he had nothing, he was to be sold for his theft. This is all that God required in felonies, nor can I find in history any sample of such laws as ours, except a code that was framed at Athens by Draco. He made every offence capital, upon his modern way of reasoning; " That petty crimes deserved death, and he knew nothing worse for the greatest." His laws, it is said, were written, not with ink, but with blood ; but they were of short duration, being all repealed by Solon, exce l t one, for murder. MEMORIAL IN FAVOUR OF LUKE DILLON. To the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, &c. the Memorial of Charles Robert Frizell, of Stapolin House, County Dublin, Father of Ann Frizell. Sheweth—That Luke Dillon, second son of the late John Dillon, of Mount-Dillon, in the county of Roscommon, Esq. is now under sen. tense of death in his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, convicted at the sit ting commission of the violation, on the bth of Nov. last, of the person of the mentoriallat's said daughter, Ann Frixell, a i eeil about twenty years.

We have this mon:b a rich present from the proprietors of this Miscellany : in addition to the regular monthly number there is a supplementary one published, conveying to the musical table of its subscribers a copious supply of musical pieces, all of a most interesting character. To those who are la:oilier with the Harmonicon we need only say, that the present number is as replete with curious musical anec dote, and tasteful criticism on the novelties of the musical world, as any of the previous numbers of the work. We give the following as specimens : Tea CATALANI MCNOOL AT FLOSENCE eelebrated Mad. Catalani, who has definitively taken up bee residence near Florence, has lately founded a music school, at her own expense, for the instruc tion of young women of poor families in singing. They are given lodging, board, and clothing, and at the end of a certain time of in struction engagements are procured for them. One stipulation on the scholar's entering this establishment is rather curious, via.--that on quitting it at the expiration of her term of her engagement she is to append to her family name that of Catalani. The first instance of this is in the singer Niaselli-Catalani. whose talents are said to augur well to the new institution, and who has obtained an engagement at Paris.— Hornsonicon for Maw 1. VALUE OF MUSICAL. NOTES.--Atephen Storace had a remarkably good head for figures. When a boy, his passion for calculation was beyond all belief—Michael Kelly says he has been known to multiply four figures by four figores, by memory, in three minutes. When young. Kelly tells us, Storace wai so astonished that fifty guineas should be paid for singing a song, that he counted the notes in it, and calculated the amount of each at 4s. 10d. This passion for calculating the value of notes (musical ones) has seised a Parisian dilettante, who, according to the Fwret de Lotedrn, has been fixing the price descry note and rest in certain pieces played by Paganlni recently, at a concert given at the Opera at Paris, which produced him siveen thousand five hundred francs. This may be play to Paganini, but destawction colas fortunate musicians, for he swallows up all that would otherwise be distributed among many. An Rnglish violinist must walk many long laborious days and nights before he can scrape together ale hundred and eighty-seven pounds sterling, the sum, it seems, which the lucky Ita lian gets by a single concert.

We recommend it to the special attention of tl.cse who honestly believe that it is more ne cessary to raise money, by every possible device, for sending missionaries to administer to the supposed spiritual necessi , ties of the poor Indians," than to supply the temporal wants of the needy nearer home: AN INDIAN TALK. ----- WASHINGTON CITY, MARCH 6.—We, the Chiefs and Sachems of the Seneca nation of Ind ians at Sandusky, Ohio. have often heard of the goodness of our white brothers and sisters in the United States, and that they have given and sent many present% of money, cloth, a nd clothing to us, to relieve the distress of our women and children. We thank thsen for their charity and good will ; but we aoleinnly say to them, that ent have lever received from them a cent of nitmiy, nor any cloth ce clothing._ Brothers and Sisters,—We speak the truth to you as it is given to us by the great Spirit, in whom we trust and believe, and wish you to listen to us that you may no longer be in the dark. We hear that collections have often been made in all your churches for us, have intrusted them to the Missionaries, whom we call Black-coats, to present us. Mothers and Staters,—We ask you all in the name of the god Spirit, in whom red and white men believe, not to send any thing to be given us by the black-coata. Brothers and Sisters,—We ask you to hear what we say, for it is true. We have found the black-coats treseherous, and they deceive us. They come among us and ask us to give them our property foe saving our souls after we die. We do not like it, for they know no more about the nest world than we do. We think the great Spirit will save our souls, and the black-coats cannot. Brothers and Sisters,—How can we have confidence in men the • e ceive both you and us ? We feel friendship and &freedom for you we know that you feel the same for u-. We wish you to knew the truth, and we tell it to you. If you send us any wore presents, we hope you will send them by honest men, who do nor pretend to so mach goodnesa.

Uo not be deceived by the black coats. We believe they are seat out by the bad spirit to make talk to t.s. if the good spirit had emu them out, they would have given us your presents, and their talk would have made us better ; but their talks do us no good, and we bear nothiag of the presents you send ma. 'Brothers and Sisters,—The good *Spirit has but one big book; the bad Spirit has many, very many, books which, his white elditirea sae to deceive one another, and blind one another's eyes. The great Spirit has, ever since the world was made, and the grams grew, laid his big book op.n to all men of whatever colour they may have bets, and Ida book tells the truth to all, and deceives no man. Broth e r s and Sisters--We do not worship the good Spirit as you do, but our belt in him and out worship is sincere, and, we think, is at ceptahie to him Vow do not think so.
