H E Season of the Year is approaching when the public Will have additional reason to congratulate themselves upon this important and national invention. So many attempts have been nude to mislead the good folks of the Merropolie,by pretending to cure the crying evil of bad water, Withentt the least pretension, that we were amongst the teary who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the Royal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular demonstra tion by having one fixed up in a largo cistern, and we have . now no aort,4/..laesitiatioa , , in-prettouncing •QuiTst co st- Ptirit, Ind in giving it one. UNQUALIFIED PRAISE. 'The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro polis have given the strongest testimony, that they may be considered, in the metropolitan city of London as an ab 'solute e , nod-send," hot we will illustrate their opinions by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ; and first ha na examine the state of the water, as now drank 4' the tbtin.stid and ten thousand persons who have not 'Yet availed themselies of this Filter, and our readers will hear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence given last season in the BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. The following eminent and learned men in their voca tions have given evidence, of which the following is ne cessarily a short extract, via. : Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr. Thomas, Dr. Turner, Drs. Hu•ne, Yates, Kerrison, Somer ailles Johnson, and Paris, &c, &c.—they pronounce the wa ter tent into their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated with decayed vegetable matters, and other substances pre jndicial to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly contribute to the prodection of that state Of FAULTY DI.. GESTION and riktrusimr Of BLOOD; that it is SO FILTHY end IMfURE, as to be unfit for the breakfast table and for enlinary purposes, and that it adds so much to the other unwholesome constituents of bread, as to render every • meal injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water sent into the cisterns daring the hot weather frequently became QUITE PUTRID; and they have no donbt that the continued use of it WITHOUT FILTERING is capable of pro ducing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ex tremely bad, foul, dirty, and unwhplesome, from the treat quantity of FILTHY MATTERS CONTINUALLY POUR b., INTO IT FROM NUMESOUS !swans ; and Dr. Ker rison makes us acquainted with a feet, the perusal of Which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he saw 4 . the foul and black stream from the Ranelagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, LOAD E D WITH NO SMALL PORTION OF UNDI VIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he concludes, that "A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF HUMAN EXCREMENT, IN A SUBDIVIDED AND UNDECOMPOSED STATE, ACTUALLY PASSES INTO OUR CISTERNS." Dr. Somerville, the physician to Chelsea Hospital, states the water to be very impure. " The tide," he says, " STIRS UP THE MASS OF IMPURITY PRODUCED BY ALL SHAT IS CORRUPTIBLE IN THE ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE WORLD, TOGETHER WITH THE NOXIOUS FILTH OF GAS AND "WEE MANUFACTORIES, THAT CONSTANTLY FLOW INTO THE THAMES FROM PATTERSEA DOWN TO GRAVESEND.' Dr. James Johnson, the author of the "Treatise on In • digeetion" says—" We sneer at the delicacy of the ,Ilindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where • Di; neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall Ive say to the DELICATE CITIZENS OF WESTMINSTER, *YR! FILL THEIR TANKS AND STOMACHS WITH WA -1114. FROST THE THAMES, AT THAT VERY sroT INTO WHICH A HUNDRED THOUSAND CLOACA, CONTAINING Xvtity SPECIES OF FILTH, AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, ARE DAILY DISGORGING THEIR HIDEOUS AND ABOMINABLE CONTENTS. The last professional gentleman to whose evidence we Shall refer, is Dr. Paris, the author of the popular work Diet, He pronounces the water to be impure and offensive, and says that it stinks shortly after it has come LARGE QUANTITIES OF MATTER ARE MECHANICALLY IespENDICT) IN IT. "As A PHYSICIAN," he says, "I CAN "ter FIND TERMS SUFFICIENTLY EXPRESSIVE OF THE AW FUL EFFECTS IT MAY BE LIKELY TO PRODUCE UPON THE HEALTH, AND EVEN LIVES, OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE I tersorot.ts " And in the last edition of his work 1w Roes still further, and asserts, that if a remedy be not lip- Plied tO the evil, " THE RAVAGES OF SOME EPIDEMIC MAY BE FAIRLY ANTICIPATED." SUCH IS THE PICTURE—THE FAITHFUL AND FRIGHT. PICTURE.....-OF THE CONDITION OF THE WATER OF THE THAMES, AS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANIES TO THEIR c estoarees. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, 'lost populous city in the world—the seat of a more opu lent body of nobility and gentry than is to be found in any other Metropolis—should, for so long a time, have been contented to have SEEN DAILY RUNNING INTO THEIR C ISTERNS, AND TO HAVE USED, FOR, ALL DOMESTIC AND CULINARY PURPOSES, A NECESSARY OF LIFE, SO LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF IMPURITIES AS TO BE PRONOUNCED, BV PROFESSIONAL MEN OF THE FIRST EMINENCE, TO RE ° PFENSIVE TO THE SIGHT, disgusting to the imagination, and destructive to the health, is a fact that would not have been credited, and that ought not to have been trrdited, but upon evidence unanswerable. .

Unfortunately, at the moinent when the Corittnissioners were drawing by their Report, the patent for " The Royal iltear for Cisterns" had MA passed through the tedious or deal of office, Ok IT WILL NOT BE DOUBTED, AFTER READ IN4 THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS, THAT IT MUST HAVE FORMED AN IMPORTANT AND HIGHLY SATISFACTORY CON CLUSION TO THEIR LABOU Es.—The subjoined erraet a Prospectus, issued by the Proprieter..r- MI: BE PERUSED WITH THE LIVELIEST Il'iTE.:;:sY BY ALL WHO CONSIDER CLEANLINESS 1%) BE ESSENTIAL TO -HEALTH, AND THE PURITY' ^— TDE ELEMENT OF WHICH WE ARE TREATING, TO BE NEARLY OF EQUAL IMFBRTANCE WITH THE AIR .• I WE ERTIATHE:— " The Royal Filter for Cisterns will he found superior to all filters hitherto invented, inasmuch as it not only POSSESSES THE POWER OF CLARIFYING TUE WATER IN A PRE-EMINENT DEGREE, BUT ALSO THAT Or COMPLETE PURIFICATION, RENDERING THE IkrOST TURBID, STAGNANT, AND FOETID WATER, OF A CRYSTALLINE BK/LLIANCY, DEPRIVING IT OP EVERY NOXIOUS INGREDIENT, AND, IN FACT, PRODUCING NATURE'S NECTAR' IN THE HIGHEST !POSSIBLE I'ERFF.CTION ; THAT IS TO SAY, CLEAR AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND S►LELL." The rapidity of, the process may be understood by a single observation, " TVAT SO FAST AS THE WATER. IS SiPPLIED AT THE TOP OF THE clarrtnx, SO FAST IT WILL DISCHA RG E. ITSELF FROM-THE. BOTTOM." " But 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 assertions."— The following statement must, we think, set the doubts of the most sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. Hume, the respectable and talented chemist of Long Acre, who has long been employed by Government in analysing waters, had two bottles sent to him for analysation; THE ONE FULL OF ALL SORTS OF :ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE MATTERS IN A STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, AND STRONGLY IMPREGN4TED WITH GAS; the other, a bottle which had contained the same foul ingredients, but had 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 well., superficial springs, or any othet source, that is free from saline and other soluble salts, not at all injurious to health." In the filtered bottle he found only sixteen grains of substances, which, on examination, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, and soluble 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 concludes 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 which bas been adopted to filter this specimen of water to be most effectual, and highly deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, " the opinion I bad formed of this new process for filtering is fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH PURPOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH OAS AND OTHER. PMFORITIES, BECAME CRYSTALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL. Thus it is clearly proved, TIIAT OP TOE FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND A RALF OF SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY PLACED IN TDB ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINS OF SUBSTANCES PASSED THROUGH. IT; AND WHICH SIX TEEN GRAINS ARE PROYRD TO BE PECULIAR TO WATER IN ITS PRIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALL DELETERIOUS TO HEALTH. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be regretted that, before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experiments, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Brande, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Scutlamore, 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 renders the most turbid, foetid water of chrystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in most of the large towns, -end indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is now rcmoved. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 500 gallons every 24. hours, have been adapted to present .the inconvenience alluded to. The expence is from 30s. to 41. er 51. We trust we have said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly iranducive to Vie cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thickly peopled Metropolis. We shall only add that the apparatus 'nay be inspected at the Offiee of the Patentee, Mr. George Robins, 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre ; where the public are invited to have ocular de monstration of the efficacy of this remedy.

Being combined in the form of Opo dehloc, it is rendered more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious as an external application.

It pos smos inntunerahle blessings for human kind, end produces an antidote for every disorder incident to the human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable riches, is the proper study of Medical Science ; and it requires the most laborious research to discover and develops all its various mysteries. For 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 eipient 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 sympathios which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether a.; arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaity.—or•. the more alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by gradual dereliction of the aaimal powers. To all who are thus cireuinstaneed, and more especially to such as are aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Commentaries, Ist, the "dais of Life," for the one Sex; or, 2d, " Hygeiana," exclusively ad dressed to Females ; the perusal of which must prove bene ficial to their moral happiness.

I informed my friend that I had just received from England a Journal of a Tour made in the South of France by a young Oxonian friend of mine, a poet, a draughtsman, and a scholar, in which he gives such an animated and interesting description of the Chateau Grig nan, the dwelling of Madame de Sevigne's beloved daughter, and frequently the place of her own residenee, that no one who ever read the book would be within forty miles of the same without going a pilgrimage to the spot. The Mar quis smiled, seemed very much pl ease d, an d as k e d t h e t i t l e at length of the work in question ; and writing down to my dictation An Itinerary of Provence and the Rhone, made during the year 1819, by John Hughes, A.M., of Oriel College, Oxford,' observed that he could now pur chase no books for the Chateau, but would recommend that the ltineraire should lie commissioned for the Library, to which he was abonne in the neighbouring town."--Sir Walter Scott's Queutiu Durward.: By RICHARD REECE, M.D. Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, &c. &c. &c. " Pr. Reece's Medical Guide, whether considered as a practical cr seientific pethrmance, is by far the best work of the kind extant. Instead of the commonplace and gratnitous observations,. usually abounding in popular pro ductions,. the Medical Guide does not falsify its nominal designation, but is truly a valuable director; containing a vast store of important facts and judicious remarks, serving as an able - and useful Guide to Medical Practice, whether domestic or professional. Its intrinsic worth is too evident not to be readily perceived, and its practical advantages cannot fail to be appreciated."—Dr. Kinglake on Domestic Medicine, 1828. " The Medical Guide, by Dr. Reece, is, in fact, the only work that has appeared for domestic reference from a Phy sician of experience ; and we boldly assert that, to the Pro fession as well as to general readers, it Will prove a more useful and scientific Practical Guide than any system of medicine that has been published in Europe. We have thus candidly and freely expressed our opinion of this work because attempts have lately been made to palm some mi serable compilations on the public by friendly criticism., dearly written by men ignorant of medicine."—John Bull.

On Thursday the Pupils of the Royal Academy of Music gave the Il Fanatic° per la Musica, an Opera Buffa ; the Music by MEYER., SACCIIITa, WEICL, and others, in short, a compilation or patch-work ; much of it exceedingly bald and ineffective, and, as a whole somewhat unsatisfying ; of one thing we feel very certain, viz. that a more inappro priate selection for the Pupils, for whose particular good these exhibitions have been given, could hardly have been devised. It is exceedingly to be deplored that their last performance fur the season should have been in an Opera that has little more than one purpose, that of throwing forward prominently one character or person, at a sacrifice, which the diffusive nature and true intent of the Institu tDioannisEtoitNteits to utterly variance amongstarianc euith t . he It is i n n u to b s e si r bl e e f fi l r is Sig ad mirers any more sincere than ourselves, particularly too in the character alluded to ‘,‘ then which we can hardly conceive aught much more perfect of its kind. Yet should we consider ourselves deserving the severest reprehension, could we be thought capable of upholding a system that is fraught with any thing but advantage, or even liberal feeling, toward the Royal Academy of Music. We, therefore, protet against the selection of the II Fanatico, as absurd to the last degree in almostevery respect. The music, with one or two exceptions, is poor " wishy-washy " trash. The cha racters, with the one exception, mere automata, to assist the working of the principal puppet—the Fanatic°. The audience, and likewise the pupils, appeared to feei some such sensation, for, in comparison with the former exhibi tions, it proved " flat, stale, and unprofitable." If, as we suspect, the suggesting and pet sieing in this injudicious upon n tlie i the t selection hie rest directors of his understanding any more than his generewity. The n S s ig ti n te o t r i , en in , d m e , s e pi tc of cannot. the e °I . t n Royal Academy of Music, under the im me di a t e - pati‘rlage e of his Majesty, has surely nobler purposes to attain, than the gratification of any individual's vanity, be he who or what he may. To even the most experienced veterans in the art, it is well known to be a most difficult, as well as unprofitable task, to merely support, or to " keep up," as it is technically termed, one particular character, and our astonishment is, therefore, pro portionahly great, at the manner in which tile pupils " held up the Signor's train," who received the only honour of an encore during the evening, in SACCIIINI'S celebrated Aria, of a toad composer rehearsing his new composition. The Finale, which created so great a sen sation last summer in the same Theatre, to its own Opera, " The Pirate of Genoa," is also placed in Signor DE BEGNIS' selection for the Fanatic°. We have only to remark, (and we do it with some surprize,) it was by no means so effective upon the present occasion, as in the management of Mr. G. PENSON, who seldom failed to re ceive the singular honour of a general encore, which, in a Finale, is not a little remarkable. Miss CHILDE. sung one Aria very charmingly, and SEGUIN was extremely suc cessful in a somewhat clever bass song. The Orchestra appeared to great advantage whilst in the performance of good music; but, in truth, some of the compositions were so vapid and inane, no band, however admirable, could make them palatable. We are amongst those who heartily do desire to witness the Institution flourish to the utmost, feeling thus, we cannot restrain the expression of a hope, that an arrangement, in every respect so exclusive and narrow in principle, will never again be permitted by the noble directors of this NATIONAL SCHOOL OF Music. Two countrymen the other day walking through the streets, were accosted by a flash at, with " Where are you two fools going?" "'Till we meet a third," quickly replied one of them, turning on his heel, and burst— ing into a loud laugh at the disconcerted city prig.--, Brighton Gazelle. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday a man, named John Stroud, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, for having sold off his property and expend ed the produce, instead of paying his creditors any portion of their demands. On the night of Thursday last Arundel Castle was entered, and 33 pheasants, 14 laares, four woodcocks, and one partridge stolen from one of the larders. The thieves have been detected, and proved to be two men of the names of Harwood and Rogers; the latter, who had but very lately been discharged from gaol, where he was confined for poaching, has absconded. Most of the game was found concealed in a hovel near the town.—Brighton Gazette. DISAPPOINTMENT.—A respectable and in teresting girl, the daughter of a wealthy yeoman of Shepton- Mallet, was last week engaged to link her fortunes with those of a spruce tanner of hides, resident in the neigh bourhood. The day was fixed for their union, the blest hour arrived, the hungry guests were anxiously Waiting to attack the good things provided by the custom of the cere - cony ; but lo! the hero of the feast was missing ; and the :roved of friends, after having exhausted their imaginations in vain to account for the singular disappe•trance, were comforted by a disclosure of the following honourable con duct of the faithless swain. It appears that the tanner, confident that the fortune cif his intended- was great, good, and Secure, delayed. enteting into the ,particulars of the subject until the last moment, when beAvas thunder struck on being informed, that the golden ports ioPtiattine were closed until the death of the bride's faller, and a hasty glance convinced him that his bargain was worth 'forty years' purchase. Certain misgivings and re , olutions then seized him, and he preferred an inglorious retreat, to enjoy ing the lovely, yet pennyless, charms of the exrecting bride. Bath Chronicle.
