THESE Articles, which have been as highly patro nised, which have so mach attracted the attention of the learned, and excited the jealousy of interested oppo nents, still continue to be imitated in various ways; some say Hudson's Tooth Powder, and omit the word foliate, others say Botanic Tooth Powder, and omit the name or budson ; the public is therefore desired to observe, that the genuine is signed " II U DSON & Co." and countersigned by their wholesale Agent, Jas. Atkinson.

But Pilate did not stay for an answer. Ma. EDlTOR—Permit me, through the limits of your in valuable paper, to offer a few preliminary remarks on the csefularess arising to society from advertising the cure of certain maladies, by a particular description of medical practitioner;, who are frequently stigmatised with the epi thet " disinterested impostors." There is a line of distinc tion to be observed, which appears evident to me, and I think would do so to others, divested of prejudice, that is, were the advertising practitioner a conscientious man, un sullied by avarice, always hearing truth for his motto, and . who makes use of an advertisement as a vehicle to bring forth the objects of indiscretion, that pine in misery, and blush at th- thought of their case being known to their fa mily practitioner; and those unhappy objects are brought forth, and restored to health, when they might have been sacrificed, or left to wander their days in wretchedness.— An instance of which I beg leave to annex in a letter ad <tressed to Dr. Kody, 38, Dean-street, Soho.

Sin,—Let a constant reader of your very respectable Journal ask, whether a portion of one of its columns can at times be_occupied better than in summoning the linen lion of England to the state of Ireland, I have lately been perusing Reid's Travels in Ireland, in the year ls22."—That smell volume contains more 'natter re garding the true state of " the sister island," than any thing which has appeared in print since the time of SWIFT. It is pregnant with such information as every man in England ought to know—in Ireland the people all know it. _ I beg leave to give you a short extract from the ye. lame. The author, speaking of a " convict ship" which he visited at Cork, says of the passengers—" They might well be contended;—it was a %happy change for them. The condition of a convict in New South Wales is ten thousand times more comfortable than that of a peasant in lreland,—in fact, there can be no comparison between them. "This is at page 268—a little fu,ther on the intelligent writer sketches another scene—it la rich in misery and mischief. "29th (Aug.) secured a place yesterday on theTraleellaii coach &set outthismorning at an early hour. When we had proceeded about a mile, one of the springs gave way, whic's obliged us to wait until the coachman returned to Cork and brought a smith to repair it. A very few miles to the westward of Cork the country wears a Irugged face, is badly cultivated, and exli:bits a frightful population.. Breakfasted at a little town called Mac room, which had been the theatre of distress, discontent, and disturbance last winter; the number of beg,t ars that surrounded the coach during this short time, exceeded any thing 1 had before seen. Men and women of all ages stood in a throng. The moving appeal of the females. contrasted with•the silent haggard aspect of the men, filled the breast with horror and compassion. Amidst all their wretchedness, these hardy tenants of the hills seemed to feel deeply the debasement of pover ty; each man carried a stick, an accustomed companion which had given occasional importance, perhaps, in the day of comparative comfort, among rivals at the fair or market; and even now it seemed an object as cherished as their last remaining strip of clothing. " Just before the coach varied, two soldiers came op. They appeared to engage strongly the atten tion of the ragged crowd that stood requesting cha ritable relief. One of these, tossing the tattered great coat he wore off the upper part of his arm, where it hung upon his shoulders, said, " '!'isn't long, Edmund, since them fellows would'nt tlourish about here in that way." " No," said his companion, " you may say that ; and if they're wise, they wont stay here long. A third exclaimed, ' They're all bloodsuckers, and have no call Oar readers will recollect that the crew of a smug gling cutter captured by the Badger, were, on Friday, brought before the King's Bench, by Habeas Corpus, and coMmitted by that Court to the custody of the Marshal, moil the affair i o which they bad been engaged could encletgo an investigation before a Magistrate.— On Saturday the whole of these men. twenty one in num. her, and in seafaring dross usually worn by smugglers, were breaght, on an Admiralty warrant, before the sit ting Magistrates. Sir K. Btavtti and R. Miresuunt-. Esq., charged with the wilful murder of William Cal lum, a deputed mariner, serving on board his Majesty's revenue cutter the Badger, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. The names given by the prisoners were— Matinee Krans, Carl Kalke, William Dangerfield. Yen Schmidt, Jacob Bolibeau, Yan Lampe, Martin Ks. pel, Yen Vannes., John Harrison, Yin Yenner, Vollio Marco. Yen de Frieze, Kiest Molinau, Kendrick de Bragne,Tan de Frenchborg, Jonathan Vandyke, Yin Crat, Kendsick Meson. Yan de Frenack, Cornelius Rayner, and Abraham de Molimar. Henry Naser, a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and an officer belonging to the Preventive Service, stated tkat he commanded the Badger sloop. On the 13th of Jan. last, about 9 in the morning, he was sailing in the En glish Channel, and observed a strange sail t' the Westward, about eight leagues from Doneness. He immediately gave orders to chase, an when within a mile and a quarter of the Vessel lie hoisted his colours and fired a signal, to which no at tention was paid. He then tired a shot, and no notice being taken by the vessel, a second shot was fired, which they immediately returned, and continued maintaining a running fight for near four hours. They then struck. and called for quarters, and the firing ceased for about five minutes, when the crew of the smuggler corn menced firing again with musquetry. One of the crew of the Badger, named Callum, was killed. The action continued for about sor 10 minutes, when they again called. out they had struck. Several of the Badger's crew were then put on board, and the smugglers taken on board the Severn frigate, and carried to the Downs. Henry Witting Wingfield, an Officer of Excise, and Master's Mate of the Navy, stated, that on the morning of the 13th of January, the Badger was cruising off the coast of France. Witness was called up about 7 o'clock, and informed there was a strange sail in sight. He inc mediately went on deck, and saw at about three miles to windward a cutter yawl rigged ; all hands were called, and chase given. When nearing them the cap tain ordered the colours to be hoisted, and a signal fired ; but no notice being taken by the vessel, a shot was fired, which was returned, and enaction commeoced 'l9 . aifik_co_stinued for nearlLfour hours. The Badger %TIMM oft Metier collided Itsireelter arises- meat. And became entangled in the rigging. The firing ceased byorder of Lieut. Naser, the crew of the cutter thee called out that they had struck, and in about 5 minutes, after they commenced firing with ninsqaetry. William Cullum, one of the crew of the Badger,immediately A musquet ball entered at the side of the mouth, took a slanting direction, and came out at the top of the head The action was then renewed and continued for about ten minutes, when they again sung out that they had struck, and called for quarter. Witness then went on board the Cutter, when one of the Prisoners, named Ramus, who was considered to be the Captain, shook hands with witness and said that she was a good prize, and IVitness then put up the running tackle and was desired by Ramus to go below and witness their distress. He did so and found one man dead and another dying, 7 of the smugglers were wounded. The whole of the crew spoke good English. Witness found below several papers, a Hatch Ensign, an English Ensign, and a slate which was kept as a log, two prayer hooks, two almanscks, and an English Navigationßook. The bearings of Ostend and Calais were stated on the log in English. The moo were then put in their own boats and allowed to depart, hut were brought back again and put on board the Severn. On board the cutter was 856 bags of tobacco ; 50 half ankers of spirits, and 13 chests of tea. Several other seamen belonging to the Badger were called, but their testimony was merely a repetition of that given by the above witnesses. Mr. PLATT atm was Counsel for the prisoners, said that the charge of murder could not be made out. There was no proof that they were Englishmen—and it was in evidence, that two shots were fired, before resistance was offered by the cutter, which resistance was justifiable by the law of nations. _ _ Sir R. Brame said he should commit them for the murder, and bound the witnesses over to appear at the seat Admiralty Sessions. MANSION HOUSE.—TITHES IN THE CITY OP LONDON. —On Saturday the important question relating to the obligation upon the citizens of London to pay 2s. 5.1. in the pound upon their rentals, to the impropriators of livings, came on before the LORD MAYOR. His Lordship was attended by the Recorder, the Common Sergeant, and the City Solicitor. Dr. Owen, rector of St. Olave's, Hart Street, the plain tiff upon this occasion, was attended by Mr. Law, who supported the Doctor's claim of tithe upon the :37th of Henry VIII. against Mr. Abbott, of Mark Lane. The defendant did not appear; hut Mr. Saunders, the solicitor for the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. against the claim of the clergy, stated, that Mr. Abbott was ab sent. not from any disrespect towards his Lorpship, but because be considered the case out of his Lord.hip's jurisdiction. Several gentlemen who seemed deeply in terested in the question were present; and the subject underwent a very minute investigation. The LORD MAYOR said, he had given the utmost at tention to all the arguments of this important question, and was quite prepared to give judgment. It would be unnecessary for him to attempt to vindicate the comlact of the clergy, who had, it was evident, done all in their power to save the pockets of their parishioners. It ap peared to him, upon being applied to in this case for an order, a very strong measure, to send a person to prison upon the authority of a doubtful instrument ; and as the Act directed him to consult counsel, he had done so, and was willing to state, that if his opinion on the question differed from their's, he would concede it to them. Ile did not consider himself at all hound by any former de cision, and certainly looked upon the question of the enrolment with a great degree of suspicion. His Lord ship then enumerated the strong features of objection, and condoled by stating, that he declined to act upon the degree, and submitted the question to a higher tribunal. Feb. N •• • • 3, M. .. 4. T .... 5, W . ..... 6, Th. • . 7. F. S, 5.. ... o'clock., A very extraordinary story it now in circulation in this city and neighbourhood, which we siaa 1 relate, leaving our reader's to form their own judgment on the merits of the caae.On the morning of Saturday ee'nnight, a woman living at Collycroft, near Bedworth, sur prized that her son a lad 13 years of age, did not come down from his apartment at the usual time, went to him, when he made signs for pen, ink, and paper, and wrote to this effect—" that he had had a itition of an angel in the night, who informed him, that be should be deaf an t dumb fur the spare of a month!' He appeared uncon scious of sound, and incapable of utterance. He has so remained ever since. Many persons from this City have been to visit the youth, who are sati,4ed with the truth °rigs tide& nt. The term tie* It "WORM until the termination of this extraordinary visitation (if such it be) of Providence, when probably the lad will be able to dommunicate some further particulars respecting his singular ease.—(Couentry Herald.) On Monday morning, a considerable feeling was ex cited, in consequence of one of those unfortunate women, who live in Rose's Barracks, Maiden Lane, being found in her apartment very much burnt, and dead. The re mains of her body presented a dreadful aspect. In the course of the same ally, Jonathan Donn, Gent. Coroner; held an inquest upon the body, at the King's Arms, when Mary Dexter deposed, that the deceased, whose name was Mary Stretton, was about seventeen years of age, and had only lived in Rose's Barracks since Thursday. (having recently come, as we understand, from Slieeps head.) She had no furniture in the room, and sie r t upon straw ; and bad been id for about a fortnight.— On Sunday morning, witness went into her room, and as she complained she had no money, nor any thing to eat, Dexter gave her some dinner, and then left her.— . The next morning, about half•past nine, Ann Jarvie knocked at her door, but received no answer, and wit ness then lifted the door off the hinges; and on going in, saw, that all the straw on the floor was consumed, and there was tire in the ash's. and Mary Stretton almost double, behind the door, very much burnt, and dead.—Upon this evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of—Accidental death.—(-Vottiogliarn Retinae.) FlR6.—Saturday night a tire broke out in the store manufactory belonging. to Mr. Prosser, near Hatton Garden, niiich completely consumed the interior of Vie hnuie. HURGL %RIES AND ROBBERlES.—lnformation of the following burglaries and robberies committed within tie last week was given on Friday at the police-otlice Hatton-garden:--Sunday night, or early on Monday morning, the dwelling-house, of Mrs. Dehany, at Hayes. is' Kent, was burglarionsly entered by some vinair.., sod robbed of upwards of 100 lb. of plate, and upwards of 1.5001. worth of jewellery. Monday night the house of Mrs. Stewart, No. P. Grafton Street East, was enter ed by means of picklock keys, and robbed of a large quantity of plate, wearing apparel, and linen. Wednes day night a roll of flannel, containing about 34) yard was stolen from the shop•door of Mr. Bannister, beets draper, 27, High Holborn; and on Thursday night another roll of flannel of the same description was stolen from the place, hut a person who happened to he passing at the time, and saw the thief go off with gave the alarm ; he was followed and taken into co stod and lodged in the watchhouse. Thursday night the house of Mrs. Marshall, clothes saleswoman, tiO, Great Saffron•hill, was robbed of a great qaanuty of men and avomen's wearing apparel. Tue Wzramea.—This week has been distinguished by - , great variety of weather. On Monday we were enveloped in one of the deepest fogs we can remember. Even het weml 2 and a o'clock in the afternoon it was necessary to use ca. , dles in the westt.rn environs of the town.
