GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS. THE Seavoit of the Year is approaching when -it- the public will have additional reason to congratulate t betacelvea upon this important and national invention. So litany attecapts have been made to mit.lead the good folks of the Ifetrupolis,hy pretending to core the crying evil of had without the least pretension, that we were amongst the tuitzy who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the Royal Filter, until we were led•to seek ocular demonstra tion by baying one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have Atrar n o Soli, of hesitation in pronouncing it QULTE com-- P „ L i"a, and in giving it out UN QUALIFIE D PRAISE. 1 4N names of the highest professional talent in the Metro- Polit have given the strangest testimony, that they laity be . ‘'''', 42 i 4 b s re'cli in the metropolitan city of London as an ab ""le " God-send," but we will illustrate their opinions by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ; and I ' l 4 let us examine the state of the water, as now drunk by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not yet availed themselves of this Filter, and eur tenders will beer in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence tiren•last SOBSO/1 in the tainsH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. The following eminent and learned men in their voca tions bays given evidence, of which the following is ne cessarily a short extraot, viz. : Slr Henry llaleord, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Kwate, Mr. ' 6o titas, Dr. Turner, Drs. Hume, Yates, Kerrison, Sotner Johnson, and Paris, &c. &c.--they pronounce the 4t sant in to their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated jWith decayed vegetable matters, and other substances pre odicial to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly soutribute to the production of that state of FAULTY DI- Q-E4170N and norvapar of BLooD ; that it is 80 FILTIIY and IMPURE, as to be unfit for the breakfast table ;and Set' culinary purposes, and that it adds so much to the other ttawbolesoine censtittunte of bread, as to render every 140 411 injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water t to, t into the eisterns during th e h o t wea th er f requent l y 'ecedne esetrz PCBRID; and they have no doubt that the eottinued use of it lvEsnoUT FILTERING is capable of pre dieing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ex tveiney bed, feel, dirty, and unwholesome, from the greet quantity of .71LTily MATTERS CONTINUALLY FOUR INTO rr YILOM NUILIIRO D y sENVERB ; and Dr. Ker risen makes us auquaint e d with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as wo ourselves feel in narrating it.

It poe. sews innumerable blessings for human kind, and produces an anthlote for every disorder incident to the human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable riches, is the proper study of Medical Seie.iee ; and it requires the most laborious research to discover and develope all its various mysteries. Fur twenty years has our successful experience been directed to the treatment of a certain class of diseases, and we pledge ourselves to t e removal of Syphilis, from its in cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much-neglected diseases of Urethra have been carefully and studiously considered, and have also those delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility bare been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos phere—the natural bias of constitutien—the imprudence of gaily —or the more alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light;" the progress of which is marked by gradual dereliction cf the animal powers.

Unfortunately, at the moment when the Commissioners were drawing up their Report, the Fatent for " The Royal Filter for Cisterns" had not passed through the tedious or deal of office, ox IT WILL NOT BE DOUBTED, AFDBE READ ING TILE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS, THAT IT MUST HAVE FORMED AN IMPORTANT AND HIGHLY SATISFACTORY CON CLUSION TO THEIR LABOURS.-The subjoined extract from aProopectus, issued by the Proprietor, WILL BF.

" The Royal Filter for Cisterns will he Ibuna superior to all filtery hitherto invented, inasmuch as it not only POSSESSES THE POWER OF CLARIFYING THE WASPIEL IN A FRB-EMINENT DEGREE, BUT ♦LSO THAT OF COMPLETE PURIFICATION, REINDBRING TPIE MOST TB MUD, STAGNANT, AND PCE'PID WATER, Or A CRYSTALLINE BRILLIANCY, DIAPRIYAIG IT OP itvznY NOLIOUS INGREDIENT, AND, IN FACT, PRODUCING NATURE'S NECTAR' IN 'ME HIGHEST POSKULR PERPECTIOX ; THAT TO SAY, MEAN.

Ile rapidity of the process may be understood by a single observation, " IMAT SO VAST AS THE WATASIL IS !SUPPLIED AV THE TOP Of IDE CISTERN, SO VAST N WICL, DISCiiAROE: lirsai.r cause 941 R BOTIOIL. " " Bat where," the reader will naturally exclaim, "is the proof of all this to be found ? We must have some thing more solid and satisfactory than bare a tiertione."— The following statement mast, we think, set the doubts of the most sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. Hume, the respectable and talented chemist of Lung Acre, who has long been employed by Government in analysing waters, had two bottles sent to hire for analysation; TEE ONE FULL OF ALL SORTS Of ANIMAL AND VEGETARCE MATTERS IN A STATE Of DECOMrosrrionly AND STRONGLY IadPREGN &TRW WITII GAS j the other, bottle which had contained the same foul ingredients, but bed . been purified by the Royal Filter. In the unfiltered bottle he found, he says, forty-six grains and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains consisted of impurities, and the remaining sixteen grains were the original ingredients peculiar to the water, and dissolved in it : " for," he observes, " there is no water, however pure and wholesome, whether from deep wells, t..erfieial springs, or any other souree, that is free from saline and other soluble salts, mot at all injurious to health." In the filtered bottle he found only sixteeta grains of substances, which, on examination, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, and soluide in, the water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the impurities and contingent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a slight impregnation by animal substances, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car bonic acid gas. Mr. Hume cencludee with bearing the following high testimony to the merits of this discovery: " After a very careful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro nounce-the method width has been adopted to filter this specimen of water to be most effectual, and highly deserv ing of public encouragement." The saine gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, " the opinion I had formed of this new process for tittering in fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH PURPOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS ANA OTHER IMPURIBIES, BECAME GRYITALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OP TASTE AND SMELL. Thus it is clearly proved, THAT OF THE FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND A HALF OF SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY PLACED IN ISSE ROYAL FILTER;. ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINS OF SURS72ANIPES PASSED 'THROUGH IT; AND WHICH SHE SEEN GRAINS ARE PROVED TO RE PECULIAR TO WATER IN MS PRIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALL DELETERIOUS TO HEALTH. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all farmer systems• of filtration, it is greatly to be regretted that, before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preckiing experiments, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Braude, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keats, Dr. Scudamore, and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it rend e r s th e most tur bid, f oet id wa t er o f c h rysta ii ne brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should he observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in most of the large towns, and indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or neeetosity of placing a Filter at thin distance is now removed. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 500 gallons every 24 , hours, have been adapted to prevent the inconvenience alluded to. T;:eex.fpence is from SOS. to 41. or Si. We trust we have said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly conducive to the cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of thickly peopled Metropolis. We shall only add that the apparatus sway be inspected at the Office of the Patentee, Air.

The last account received at St. Petersburg!) Of the voyage of discovery under the command -of Capt. Lutke, holds out the prospect of great ad ditions to our geographical and nautical know ledge. The expedition had instructions to sail to the harbour of St. Peter and St. Paul, Kamtschatka, and thence to visit, in the winter, the Carolines, and in the summer to examine the regions in, and at the other sde of, Behring's Straits. The first pact of this expedition has been happily accomplished, during a cruize of seven months near the equator, between the first and tenth degrees of north latitude. A letter from Dr. Martens, botanist to the expedition, contains the following particulars:— " Our ship, the Siniavi n, sailed from the harbour of St. Peter and St. Paul on the 19th of October last year, and arrived on the 22d of November off the island of Ooalan, which was re-discovered by Captain Dupeyrey, in the Coquille, in 1824 ; where we had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with a people, in the purest state of nature, who had remained hither to unknown, and were wholly unacquainted with Europeans; who differed even in language from all the other inhabitants of the Carolines ; who, to all appearance, never had any inter course with the other islands, and have hitherto lived in such patriarchal simplicity, that not a single weapon, nor any thing resembling a weapon, was met with i* the whole island. This was the more surprising, as it soon ap peared that! the Government of the place was aristocratic, and several chiefs considered them selves as masters of the island ; and who, there fore, must constantly live in peace and harmony. Their complexion is of a bright brown, the arms and thighs tattooed, their hair in a buneh braided together upon the head, and adorned with flowers ; their features resemble these of the Malays. Every thing proved that they did not know what hostility was. Cur natu ralists found them the most faithful guides ou their excursions, and the most careful keepers of the insects and plants which they collected. One of their chiefs, named Sipa, offered them his dwelling for their residence ; and here also they had an opportunity of making them. selves acquainted with the domestic arrangements of the inhabitants. The Ooalanese are particu larly distinguished from the inhabitants of the other Carolines, by being entirely free from the propensity to stealing. They treat their women with great kindness and affection. We could not obtain any clear notions of the religion of these people. Their diet consists of bread, fruit, banyans, sugar-cane, cocoa-nuts, fish, snipes, pigeons, and some wild fowl. As far as we could learn, the island is divided into between 4.t) and 50 districts, each of which contains several villages, and belongs to a chief. Several of these chiefs live on a small island, separated from the rest of the inhabitants. One of them was treated with particular reverence ; he might be considered, in some measure, as the king of the whole. We could not discover how he canny to enjoy this honour; it certainly was not for hi-; wealth ; for his Majesty possessed only two vi!- lages, while another chief had eight." After remaining three weeks among these people, whose natural innocence is so amiable, the Siniavin continued its voyage on the 20th of December. On the 2d of January, 1828, they discovered a new group of islands, the highest and also the largest of all the Carolines, except the Pellew Islands. The ship cruised eight days among these islands; but no attempt. to land was made, because the inhabitants ap peared very hostile. When the Siniavin put out a boat to look for an anchorage or landing-place, it was immediately surrounded by other boats, the crews of which used very menacing gestures. They carried short spears, headed with teeth of the saw-fish, and a sling made of plaited rushes. When pistols charged only with powder were fired at them, they made no impression on them, and yet every thing indicated that these natives had never before seen Europeans. Their hair was rather short, and beautifully curled : they wore about their waist a girdle, with very deep dark red fringe ; this girdle covered a part of the breast, and was fastened on one shoulder. " Notwithstanding the beautiful appearance of these fine lofty islands, the humane Captain Lutke would not attempt to Laid ; because it was evident that it could not be done w•ithou bloodshed. The naturalists were, therefore, dist appointed of their expected harvest, and the Si niavin proceeded on her voyage. A dog was all that they carried away." The letter con tinues— " On the 13th January we descried Los Va lientes—low, miserable islands ; the wretched inhabitants of which did not appear even to pos sess boats. On the ISth we arrived off the Na muricks ; and on the 23d, ofF Mortlock islands (discovered in 1796), the natives of which ap peared very amiable and civilized, which is pro bably to be attributed to their intercourse with the other Carolines and with Manilla. Their ships are calculated for long voyages, and are provided with compasses. An unexpected sight here was an • English three-masted ship, the Partridge whaler, which, like many others of that class, has since 1823 visited the coast of Japan in pursuit of the spermaceti whale. As this ship had been almost as long absent from Europe as the Siniavin, the crew could not give us any news; however, mutual visits were paid ; which could not be otherwise than agreeable in this distant part of the world. " On the 2d of February we discovered the island of Rug : and on the Bth, Union Island. On the 17th, the Siniavin arrived in the har bour of Caldera de Apra, where she remained till the 7th of March, during which .time the Spanish Governor showed us every kit of at tention and politeness. On the 30th of March we cast anchor off' the island of Or; .pick, and this was the termination of our voyage, after five
