CHOLERA MORBUS CURED BY MOM SON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLY.- 1 The President sod the Board of the British College of Health, New-mad, King's Cross, London, on 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. U. Gardner, their general Agent for the County of Durham, (who had supplied several Baltic vessels wish 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 Messrs. Morison, Moat, and Co. " Gentlemen,—Having received a letter from Capt. Lang ley, of the trading vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately arrived at Hull from Riga, I transmit you a copy, which you will feel to be your duty to publish to all the world. " Dear Friend,—Respecting the Universal Medicines of the British College of Health, which you so fortunately provided me with at Sunderland, I have every reason to be lieve, and, indeed, l am convinced that they were the means of preserving my own life as well as some hundreds more at Riga, a great many of which I was an eye witness to. "' On my first arrival at Rip, I commenced taking the Pills as a preventive, or preparation for the attack, to stay its violence if assailed; 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 seized with that dreadful disorder, and for the hat four hours was in a deplorable state, but, thank God, twin the precautions I had used, the noxious air passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp, and a rta strong doses of the Universals soon restored me to All my men (except one who was too timid to take tb. Pills with slfficient strength, from the fear of being too Twiently purged, who died in a few hours), took the Pills night and morning, and were saved. ' To satisfy the poor fellow who died I got him some medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the least, as be ceased to exist soon after, first becoming cold u a lump of ice and of a dark blue colour. I cannot think the Cholera infectious on contagious from the touch, as none of us were affected front handling the corpse. "' I left itiga on the Bth of June, and got down to llauldra the same day, all well, but on the 10th the mats and a boy were both taken ill with this dreadful disease, and, for six days, were in a distressing state, but with a close and powerful application of the Pills, were restored to full health. " lam happy to say I have every reason to believe that this Medicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of this dread evil, but that its powers are but applied at an ealy stage, or . r a preparative. " The value of the Medicine was in the highest intim tlon at Rigs, and great lamentations were made at the scanty supply tbat could be obtained from me and the rest of the rend, who had supplies from you. Had I had .1100 vrenb more I could have sold them all, even to the French t:' ors that were there.' " The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland 'rom those vessels which had supplies of the Medicines out, •peak with the same raptures of their efficacy. " I remain, Gentlemen, " Your humble servant. "MICHAEL GARDNER." " Bishop M'earmouth, Aug. 1, 1831."

THERE is a CHAIR, for the Invention of which a PATENT' was granted to RODERT DAWS, of 17, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, four years ago. It is highly patronised by the Nubility and Gentry, and the First Houses in the Trade, even his late Majesty honoured R. Daws with repeated commands, and used them till the last hour of his life ; and the constant recommendation of them by Ladies and Gentlemen (who have bad them in use) to their Friends, and the host of Testimonialc H. DAWS possesses is highly gratifying to hisfeelingn It is not one of those things merely puffed off to catch the unwary, and make money change pockets, but is found to answer the purpose designed—gives general satisfaction, and is a fair exchange foe money.— Its advantage consists in its numerous gradations of inch. nation of the back and arms, from the pirpendicular near to the horizontal, each position is easily obtained and firmly fixable. The leading features of all are alike, bet vary In pattern, price, and numerous appendages—they are gene. rally useful and ornamental to the library or drawing.room— have no unusual appearance—and in the event of fatigue, accident, or sickness, its comforts are unprecedented. Some are admirably portable. Gentlemen in the army and navy' will find them worth notice for the great convenience us a chair or couch in little room. They are with a little extra preparation admirable in spinal cases. " The great satisfaction it has given, and the recom. mendation of it in many scientific works Lave induced many unprincipled upholsterers to sell an insiastion of It, which we find, by not admitting the nice alteration of the back and arms, does not afford the extent of comfort as the ori. ginal ; we advise the obtaining of it of Mr. Dews."—Dr. Reece's Medical Annual, foe 18111. From a calculation lately made, R. Daws can make oath that the least failure hu not averaged one in BW.—War ranted to stand for seven years. CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH. 4, CIONGREVE'S GOLDEN BALM," or IM -1 PROVED SOOTHING SYRUP. This remedy possesses superior advantages in counter-acting the dreadful effects arising from painful dentition. It cools and comforts the gums; assuages the most violent anguish consequent on their inflammation; and its demulcent properties so soften and render elastic these tender parts as to produce the teeth in their 'egoist order with incredible ease and rapidity, without constipating the bowels and exciting other baneful effects ; by which the necessity of lancing the gums, so pregnant with dangerous results, is entirely superseded. It is introduced at the lowest possible price by the pro. prietor, for the purpose of placing it within the reach of all classes. Sold in bottles at Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. by Messrs.

The public is not aware, that when Sir James Mackintosh, u Chairman of a Committee on the Criminal Laws, consulted all the judges respecting the various punishments, Lord Wynford decinred that his opinion, in any instance, was against com muting the punishment of death. Subsequently, when Peel's Forgery Bill was debated in the Lords, the same learned judge declared that he never had or woald recommend to mercy any prisoner con victed of forgery ; and he proposed an amendment to render the bill more harsh, which amendment Lord Lyndhurst, with very great difficulty, per suaded him to withdraw.

On this ship joining them in the morning they will immediately get under way. Sir R.

The Donegal, 20, Captain Dick, sailed on Tuesday, and the Alfred, 52, Captalo MaanseU, yesterday, for the Medi. tesranean. Lieutenant-General Sir W.

Nesham, and Alligator, 28, Commander Morgan (actin.;), arrived yesterday from Malta; the former having left that island on the 30th July, and the latter on the Bth ult. The Mediterranean squadron was in perfect health. The men-of.war lying at Malta at the latest date were the St. Vincent, 120 (the flag-ship of Sie Herry Dothan)), Oanges, Belvidere, Pelican, and Ferret.—The Kent, Raleigh, Scylla, and Madagascar , wee at the Archi pelago, the latter being expected down daily. The Scylla sloop of war had gone to Alexandria from Smyrna ; she left that place to avoid the plague, which was raging with con siderable violence, and, as a measure of safety, the linen which was sent ashore to be washed was not rar.eived on board again, but was boat. EXPERIMENTAL SAILING.—The Barham, 52 (ran ee) Captain Nut, Winchester, 82, Captain Lwd Wm. Paget, Curagoa (ranee) Captain D. Dunn, and Victor, 18 (brig) Commander Ellice, for which orders were received prate day sennight to miss in the channel, to try their respec tive rates of sailing, proceeded to sea for that purpose oo Sunday morning. under the orders of Rear Admiral Parker, who shifted his flag an the occasion to the Barham. They returned on Wednesday—the Winchester to St. Helen's, the noontide to Sppithead. It was intended that the Wks ' cheater, aft.x a satlsfaetory trial bad been made of the rela tive qualities of these ships, should part company, and put. sae her way to Halifax, but the strong westerly winds ob. Used bee to bear up. She sailed yesterday, however, for her destination. The result of the 2 days' trial under the different CilCUMMllliCet—from light winds up to a rate of ten knots, quite close hauled, and exceeding that rate when the ships ran large--proved that the Barham and Winchester are both remarkably fine ships, very still and easy under sail ; but if a preference must be stated, it should be given to the Boehm when on a wind; the Wise:heater, however, having the advantage when naming large. We speak la insumen when carrying top-gallani sails over en&-reefed topsails and courses, and fun able to do so • in moderate wind and smooth water the Victor was the h at of the four. The Cu rages bee proved to he a very fine Alp, hut she cannot cons. pen with the ppo.nwer of the Barium and Winchester; as the wind and sea increased she fell astern ; she is, however, very restively. All the ships work uncommonly quick, and are very easy. PORTSMOUTH REGATTA. The first day of our annual Regatta was to have been Tuesday ; the rale, however, in the morning was not only so heavy as to preclude any company from participating in the scene, but the wind so light that neither boats nor vessels would have been under command : it was therefore post poned ; shout noon, nevertheless, the weather having bright ened, and the wind freshened, company began to congre gate, but too late to get the vessels and boats to re-assent. bk. That day, therefore, passed off without any sport, a circumstance the more to be regretted, as her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, with the Princess Victoria in the Emerald yacht, attended by Lord Yarborough in the Falcon, and a numerous cortege of other yachts, came to witness it. The coup Weil was nevertheless very fine ; her Royal High. nen was received with a royal salute from each man-of-oar as the Emerald passed, with their yards manned. On Wei :today the weather was so unfavourable that no vessel multi be started. On Thursday, however, it moderated, so as to enable the vessels and large clan wherries to contend for thr. Pekes, but not so for the two smaller classes of wherries without endangering lives. The latter, consequently were ROI allowed to start, although time of them were anxious tt, do so, and had actually engaged some friendly boats to fol low them close to aftd assistance in the event of accidents. The regatta ball at the King's Rooms, Soothed*, on INtes• day, was crowded with fashionable* THE BALLOON UN THURSDAY. Mr. and Mrs. Graham ascended on Thursday with a magnificent silk balloon, from the top of Constitution-hill, in the Green Park, in honour of their Majesties Coronation. The ascent took place at precisely ten minutes past five o'clock in the af ternoon. The balloon rose majestically and slowly from the Park, amidst the acclamations of the assembled multitude, the aeronauts bowing and waving their flags. in a few minutes of they threw something from the car, which had the ap pearance of a flock of pigeons descending to the earth, but which we have since ascertained to be printed copies of verses, written expressly for this purrse, on the occasion of the ascent at Windsor, on Saturday last. We subjoin an account of the journey, as given by Mrs. Graham herself: _ _ At ten minutes put five o'clock we rose from the Park, being obliged, in consequence of the weight attached to the balloon and netting, at least one hundred pounds, by the previous rain, to go with out either ballast or grappling-iron. The appear ance of the Green and Hyde Parks was astonishing, presenting to our ;Lily so immense a mass of faces. We passed slowly over the City at an altitude of about half a mile, having a distinct view of every street and avenue, together with vehicles of every description. the cheers of the people gradually ascending in gratifying sounds towards us. In passing over St. Paul's we had a fine view of all the bridges, the East and West India and St. Ca therine's Docks, &c. &c. At twenty minutes be fore six o'clock we entered the fret strata of clouds. which partially concealed the City from our view, but on the other side we had a fine view of Epping Forest, which appeared to us scarcely a quarter of a mile in extent ; also a view of Ilford, Romford, and the villages adjacent. At this time the air, caused by the density of the clouds hover ing around us, blew excessively cold, and I doubt not, had we had a thermometer, it woul•l hive stood at 32 degrees of Fahrenheit. In consequence of entering different currents of air, the b Indio and car frequently revolved. We never lost of the Thames daring our aerial voyage, and, in fact, at times we were rather nearer than we cared to be, on account of having no ballast, but we did not once cross the river. When we attained an altitude of three miles, Mr. Graham considered it prudent to allow some portion of the gis to escape. in order to commence the descent, which we gradually effected, passing over Brentwood, and finally landed at Herringale, on the firm of Mr. Stone, at Herringale-hall, four miles from Brentwood, 23 miles from Whitechapel Church, and 28 from the place of starting, precisely at six o'clock. Mr. Stone himself came to our 34.iit anse ; he was the first person who laid hold of the car; Mrs. Stone and two of her daughters imme diately followed, together with several of their servants, when I alighted from the car, and ac companied the ladies to their house. When the balloon was packed up, Mr. Stone, accompanied by Mr. Graham, joined us, when we were enter tained with true English hospitality, and intro duced to several gentlemen who had followed tilt, course of the balloon. At about 12 o'clock we safely arrived at our residence in Poland -street, where several friends were awaiting our return. SPIRIT, OF TIIIS DAY'S JOURNALS. HERALD.—Our readers will find, by nor Portsmouth news, that the Prime Regent, 120 guns, Capt. Dantlas, and the Asia, 84 guns, Capt. Hyde Puler, sailed from Rata • mouth for the Tagus on Saturday afternoon, under the cJoi. mend of Rear-Admiral Parker. The last accounts frosts Lisbon prepared us for some step of the kind. It is evident that the property, and even the lives, of British resideres Ire Lisbon are far property , being secure under the dominion of the tyrant, and experience has shown that nothing short of the actual presence of an armed farce can keep him and his in struments, the lowest rabble, in order. If the Girl of Aberdeen still looks (u he said he did on the last debate about Portugal) more to the good feeling which other coon I tries entertain towards England than to the form of Govern , mart under which they choose to live themselves, we my ' indulge a hope that even the charms of the Portugues.: des. IPolism will lose their influence in his Lordshie's mini af,er such evidence of the feeling of that Government to earls Englishmen is makes It necessary for the (1 ivernment here to despatch armaments for their support. HERA LD.—While the lending Tory politicians in both Houses of Parliament, assisted by a ou, rtion of the Prow, impute the most ambitious views to Fiance and accuse her, by anticipation, of the most serous breach es of faith, there is nu notice taken by Whig or Tory of the extensive w4r. like preparations which Pretoria is, and has long beeo, making in the Rhenish provinces, and the accumuLtion of her forces gathered upon the frontiers of Belgium, while she professes the most pacific intentions. Iris agreed on all sides that the French troops marched into Belgium to suoirort King Leopold's Government with the concurrence of the C , as those Powers now call themselves, which, the exception of Ragland, are better known by the name of the Holy Allionee. in fact, if France heel not the sanction of the other Powers to that advance of her troops upon Belgium, the movement would have been considered not only a declaration of war, but an *null oommencement of hostilities. Prussia, therefore, openly countenanced France in this march into Belgium — at least her subsequent assent to the proceedings which the French government adopted on the receipt of King Leo pold's letter was equivalent to a previous permission. Yet there Is great reason to believe that Prussia encouraged the 'noisiest of Belgium by the Dutch, at the very time that French troops marched, by her consent, to drive hick the invaders. What woe the object of Prussia in practising this double-faced policy? We shah see. The invasion of Belgium by the Dutch has rendered the Belgic questimi more coosidiested. and more diflcult of adjustment, thAn before. The very fact of the march of the French troops excited semigloss that France was taking the first favAtr able oppenunky that presented itself far realising her views of aggrandisement, and taking the brit step towards a new seep of European mos. In the former revo lution Prussia lumidedranee, and miscalculating the energies and resources of a people wise were strug gling for freedom, hoped to restore the ancient les- CllMby annul de main. Instructed by bitter experience, Quixofisni agruirut liberty is not now so rampant ; she mixes more of cautious policy with her deadly hostility to a 'embalm:bed Government. She has shown this in the use of Poland as well as France. She has not yet taken anus against eights:lout she has practised a hischisivel:an policy towards both. The concentration of Prussian forces in the Rhenish provinces, to the amount of upwards of 200,000 trtsu, well equipped and ready to march at a moment's no. doe, foreb ode s, whatever diplomatic assJranceo they may be to the contrary, that there is little probability of auy long continuance of the peace of Europe. that Pruratian soldiers were not prevented from joining in great it:millers the Dutch invading army of Belgium, seems now to be placed beyond doubt, although the Prussian Government managed the matter in such a way as not to be openly or di reedy implicated in giving assistance to the King of Hol land. The game that Prussia and the other Powers of the Holy Alliance are now playing, is to lay a train for a war with France in such a manner as that the English Govern- Meat shell set fire to that train. They well remember what , an advantage they hail in having England the paymaster of their forces during the late war, and they would dearly like to be subsidised by English gold again. That the four =have demanded the evacuation of Belgium by every soldier we are disposed to believe. If the French Government should refuse, or should be, at present, unable to obey, on account of the mischief which the ref:BHW the troops, while the Dutch, backed by the Prussians, are irb viousli_PrePartng for new aggressions , might produce at home, England will be placed in a situation which will com pel her to maks common cause with the holy alliance in their crusade against France, and thus the object of the projected policy of Prussia will have been attained. It is deeply to be regretted that our ministry, who left the Poles to their fate, should have evinced so little wisdom as to have Involved this country in the quarrel between Bel gium and Holland, in blind submission to the crafty abd machinations of the Holy Alliossee. MRS.—What would be the real and substantial state of the commonwealth, if the House of Lords, as now con stituted, were to reject the Bill, or, which is precisely the same thing, meddle with any one of move important pro. vitiate? The House of Lords would, in that melancholy case, be at open war with the King, the Commons, and the whole people of England. The struggle would not be for this or that limited, isolated, especial, temporary, or common-place object. It would be a vital one. The Lords would strive to withhold from the English na tion the Min support, the source and security of all the rights and political enjoyments, by whirl; freemen are uistinguished from slaves : one party or the other must give way: and which party ? The nation ? No, truly.—lt, therefore, the Lords were only to give way upon compulsion, what would be the nature of that compulsion ? The cobstitu. don offers none but aniunlimited creattoo of peers. If there had sot been objectioes, held insuperable by the existing Go- vernment, to such a measure, though we cannot divine them, it would doubtless have been had recourse to before now.
