The PRACTICE OF COOKERY, adapted to the Business of Everyday Life. By Mrs. DALGAIRNS. In one thick vol. price Is. 6d. " This is by far the most complete, and truly practical work, which has yet appeared upon this subject. Mrs. Dalgairns is not one of those imaginative and flowery pre ceptors, who think it necessary to cal in the aid of fiction and fine writing, to give an interest to the engrossing and important matters of which she treats--she proceeds to business at once. Her book will be found an infallible Cook's companion, and a treasure of great price to the mistress of a family. It is stuffed choke-full of the most important gastronomical information. It contains 1434 receipts, 95 of which are for soups, 115 for fish, 70 for beef, 60 for veal, 31 for pork, 41 for poultry, 14 for cur ries, 104 for gravies, sauces, &c., 66 for vegetables, 263 for puddings, pies, and tins, 134 for creams, cu,tards, &c., 100 for cakes, &c., 82 for preserves, 61 for domestic wines, 15 for the dairy, and 88 miscellaneous. Then we have remarks, besides, on the poultry-yard, brewing, the kitchen garden, bees, pigs, &c. With so many arguments in its favour, we cannot doubt that the Practice of Cookery' will soon find its way into a wide and useful circulation."—Edinburgh Literary Journal, 18th April. NATURE is a mysterious treasury. It pos sesses innumerable blessings for human kind, and produces an anti.lote 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 develope 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 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 hays been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaity—er the mere alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by gradual dereliction of the animal powers. To all who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to such as are aspirants for connubial pleasnree, we earnestly recommend our Commentaries, Ist, the "Xeis 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.

A market is about to be established in the north of Marylebone parish, for the supply of hay, fruit, and vegetables, to the inhabitants of the western part or the metropolis. An area of 340 by 320 feet, situated on the north side of the Portman estate, is marked out as the spot. The exact site of the market is 100 yards from the Edgeware Road, between Portman-place and Lisson-grove, and is bound by Carlisle -street, on the west, Salis bury-street on the east, Church-street on the south, and Princess-street on the north. An open space will be left on the north side of the market, for rho sale of hay, which will admit of two rows of waggons. The vegetable and fruit market will consist of neat brick-built dwelling-houses and shops; externally, a space will be left behind the houses as a yard, arid an internal market will be formed beyond the yard, to consist of sheds or shops merely, without d,‘ ell ings. A very considerable space will thus be left in the centre of the market for the sale of such articles as may be pitched it+ the open air without injury, as the internal area will not be covered For the convenience and cleansing of the market, a fountain will be raised in the middle of this space. The centre building of the north front will be a pub lic-house. The principal entrance of the market will be from Church -street, on the south ; kit there will be other entrances on each side. It is not in tended wholly to exclude butchers, but they are not to be allowed to kill beasts of any kind within the market. The ground upon which this market is to be built has been purchased by Mr. Wilson, who is agent to Mr. Portman ; and it is his intention, we understand, to take upon himself the whole of the speculation attendant upon this undertaking. The erection of the buildings, &c. will be under the direc . tion of Mr. Parkinson, who is the architect and sur veyor to this enormous estate, which consists of 261 acres, all, with the exception of five or six, built upon, and principally covered with large and respectable houses. The ground upon which Covent garden market stands measures about 210 feet by 300, so that the new market which we believe is to be called " Portman-market," will be considerably larger than our largest London markets. It is un accountable that a metropolis like London should depend almost entirely upon one market for a supply of fruit and vegetables, for though there are markets where these articles are to be found mixed up with other commodities, we believe there is not one in or near London devoted as Covent-garden is to the pro duce of the soil. There can be no doubt, therefore, but that there exists almost a necessity for a further supply, nor can there be much doubt of this new speculation being a successful one.—Observer. PRICE 71). ON SMOKING AND SNUFF-TAKING. The most polite consumers of tobacco are the snuff-takers. This habit, (which, it must not be imagined, has been a prevalent custom from our earliest acquaintance with tobacco), originated in France about a century and a half ago, and be came a fashion about the time that Louis the 14th aimed at universal conquest, by endeavour ing to extend the French language and Gallic manners throughout Europe. That it was par tially prevalent in Queen Elizabeth's time, is however very clear from some passages in Shakspeare. (Vide the description of the fop in Henry the 4th.) The fashion, then, having originated at Versailles, where the ladies and gentlemen equally adopted it with a view of dis playing at once a brilliant ring, a handsome snuff-box, and a fine hand, the jewellers and perfu mers instantly availed themselves of the occasion to promote the taste of snuff-taking as widely as pos sible. I am not going to defend this practice, which like every other pastime or indulgence, innocent in itself; may be carried to that extreme, as to be injurious or disgusting to,society ; but 1 am ready to defend it from the attacks of those " fire and fury" " darkness and devils" censors, who confound the custom with the abuse. Let these censors say what. they will, a snuff-box is a powerful social weapon, and has untied the tongue of many a frigid, purse-proud, unap proachable Englishman in a stage coach, which, like the tail of our native mastiff, would never • have wagged, if you had not given him some thing. Sterne found a pinch of snuff an intro duction or passport to the most agreeable and refined society in the public walks and theatres of Paris, and, in this respect, the fancies and humours of our Gallic neighbours are as readily tickled, through the nose, now, as ever they were in that day. The late Dr. Harington used to say, that there was a kindly and bene volent feeling in the " petimusque damusque vicissim" interchange of It appee and Lundifoot, and if the waistcoat or frill was a little begrimed, he used to say—" no matter—it is " Non indecoro pulvere sordidus." Tried in the crucible of such a man's mind, and coming out " unhurt by his philosophy," the practice of snuff-taking may bid defiance to all the fumes and fret of bilious censorship. The late Lord Stanhope reckoned loss of time as one of the evils of snuff-taking, and calculated that an inveterate wmff-taker consumed two en- tire years out of forty, in taking out his box, snuffing up the powder and blowing his nose, besides incurring a great extra expence in the same period, for washing pocket-handkerchiefs. In answer to part of this allegation, I can say, with some confidence, that were it not for the stimulating properties of the said dust, much of the two years would he equally sacrificed in the arms of Somnus. Smoking, I am afraid, I shall find a much more refractory subject, and if I defend it at all, A VERY SUPERIOR LANDED INVESTMENT, FOR SALE BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, Situate in a Midlsnd County, the Purchase Money will be under TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS, And the Annual:Returns from the said Property will make it one of the most desirable Investments that has ever been offered to the Public.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes known, that no apology is due to the mul titudinous applicants, who have lately ha ti to wait fur their commands being immediately attended to. The ex, citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im pure, and filthy water, supplied from the 'Thames, must be his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have been ordered (luring the last fortnight, it is believed no further excuse for delay will be required. To his Agents, thoughout England, [(eland, and Scotland, he flatters him self the above will he found a satisfactory reason for the Delay they have recently complained of. A reference to the opinions of all the eminent men of the profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their high testimony to the Royal Filter for remedying all the impurities and chrystallizing foul water. The following will be sufficient for the present pur pose : _ _ _ Dr. JAMES Jon NsoN, the author of the " Treatise on Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses. " And he thus concludes-" We sneer, " says the doctor, " at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin ster, who fi►l their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloaca, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it. " Dr. KERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, 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 says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM raivrEs;" from which he Con cludes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually passes into our cisterns." THE PORTABLE FILTERS, Possessing all the advantages of purifying - and rendering chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following priced :- _1 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day ..258. 3 Ditto . ditto. ....IS Ditto 3ot. 6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 428. 9 Ditto 65 Ditto. sss. 12 Ditto 90 Ditto. 7se. The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and purify as much water iu the course of the day as the largest consumption of a family can desire. There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be sent to any part of the country. The Prospectus may be bad, and Filters, in full opera ti•n, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee, George Robins, Isls. 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed. BILIOUS AND LIVER COMPLAINTS. AS a mild and effectual remedy for all those Disorders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and Biliary Organs, namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-ache, Heartburn, Flatulencies, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recom mendation of mild operation with successful effect ; and re quire no restraint or confinement whatev e r during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of re dundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 30.—The Flora transport, Lieut. Wentworth, Agent, arrived on Monday, from Bermuda. She left that island on the 26th April, and has brought home the 12th company of sappers and miners, and a few invalids of the 74th regi ment ; Major Crab and Capt. Kelsall, royal engi neers, were passengers. Admiral Sir C. Ogle, with the Hussar, Rose, and Columbine, were about to proceed to Halifax. The dock-yard at Bermuda was proceeding rapidly in its formation. Upwards of 1500 conv►cts were employed on it, and on the fortifications mond it.

CLERGY ORPHAN SOCIETY.—The annual public examination of this Institution took place on Friday last in the presence of the Archbishops of CANTERBURY and Your, the Bishops of WINCHESTER, CARLISLE, ST. ASAPH, CHICHESTER, CHESTER, LICHFIELD and Co- VENTRY, ELY, GLOUCESTER, and BRISTOL, the Dean of PETERBOROUGH, and a large and distinguished meeting of the friends and benefactors of this dimity. The girls were examined in the Scriptures, and in Ancient and Modern History, and some of them in the French language. The boys were examined in Virgil, Horace, the Greek Testa ment, and in many parts of general knowledge, and a few of them in the two first books of Homer. It would be impossible to speak too highly of the result of this examina tion. Many unexpected and difficult questions were an swered promptly and prech.e!y, and there was a composure and cheerfulness in the countenances of the children, indi cative of their feeling thoroughly well prepared for what they were going through. When the examination was over, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY addressed the Rev. T. WHARTosr, Master, and Mrs. JONES, Mistress, in terms of the highest and most deserved approbation, for having dis charged their arduous at.d anxious duties, through another year so conscientiously and successfully. Tile new exa mination room (spacious and commodious as it is) was quite filled, and it was delightful to observe the universal and deep interest which prevailed among all present, an in terest doubtless arising not more from the examination itself, than from the thought uppermost in their minds, that the children before them were fatherless, anal their mothers, for the most part, in aggravated affliction, and totally unable to give them such an education as they claim from the sta tion of a deceased father, and such as they receive from the voluntary Contributions of a generous public. THE CUCKOO.—The cuckoo begins early in the season with the interval of a minor third ; the bird then proceds to a major third, next to a fourth, then to a fifth ; alter which his voice breaks, without a minor sixth. This defalcation of voice is alluded to in un epigram of JOHN Hprwoon, as far back as 1587: " In April, the koo-koo can sing her song by rote, In June, of tune she cannot sing a note ; At first, koo-koo, koo-koo, sing still can she do; At last, kooke, kooke, kooke; six kookes to one koo." Some authors have supposed that no other bird loses or changes its note; but this is an erroneous idea, for the voice of the nightingale undergoes a woful change, re sembling in the autumn the hoarse croaking of the frog, a reptile which has been called facetiously, and not quite in. aptly it would seem, the Dutch nightingale. The LORD CHANCELLOR left town on Sa turday evening for h's seat at Wimbledon, and returned to London last evening. It is said that the large mansion, newly erect ed on the site where the late Mr. PERRY'S house stood, near Tavistock-square, has been taken by a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, to he converted into a society, called " The London University Club." The vast capa city of the rooms are exactly suited to such an Instit.ition, and the flourishing and improved state of the neighbour hood, renders the E.tabliAment indispensable. It was circulated through town on Saturday, that a beautiful lady, not long ago as amiable and respected as she must now be reprobated, though she must be always p;tied, had withdrawn herself from her husband's house, if not from his protection, and that her companion was a certain foreign Prince, whose father had honourably sought and achieved a better species of celebrity. The noble Lord, whom it is usual to speak of as '• the injured party" on such occasions, is said to be a Cabinet Mioi-ter, and the only person who either is, or affects to be, sur• prised at this untoward occurrence._Morning Paper. LIVERPOOL, MAY 30. We have had a less animated demand for Cotton to-day, and the sa'es do not exceed 2,000 bags, but without any change on the prices obtained yesterday. It appears by the last accounts from Murcia that the shock of earthquake which was felt there on the 18th ult. lasted more than thirteen minutes, and that dur ing its continuance several columns of fire were seen to fall on the mountains. The earth in some places opened, and sent forth volcanic eruptions, some of which are said to have been of considerable extent. FRENCH PAPERS. • (From the Journal des Defiats of Friday.) PARIS, MAY 29.—The Repoira Commission of the Law concerning liquors the the determina tion which the Chamber has formed of dismissing the discussion of that law after that of the Budget, leaves no hope that the situation of the proprietors of vines will be ameliorated this year; they have no other resource, none but in the goodwill of the municipal councili of the cities, if they will diminish the tolls on wine; and the kindness of the Govern ment, if it will reduce, by Ordinance, as it can, ac cording to the commission, those small tolls, when, contrary to the law of finance of 1816, they exceed the amount of taxes received by the Treasury. 1u that alone does their chance of safety this year con, sist.

FRANKFORT, MAY 26.—The latest accounts from the Principalities say, that it appealed more certain that the operations of General Geismar in Little Wallachia would be confined to ma i n t a ini ng hi s po sition at Kalefar, and protecting that province ag,a;nst the incur-ions of the very numerous Turkish Gar rison of Widdin. Reports of very serious engagements in the v;ein- ity of Silistria are still spread, in which the Turks are stated to have fought with desperate fury, and a corps of Russian Cavalry of five thousand men, with forty-eight pieces of horse artillery, are said'to have suffered severely ; but all these accounts bear evident marks of great exaggeration, and as they give neither date nor particulars of these action•, and no Russian account whatrver ha; been pub lished respecting them, the news wants explanation and confirmation. BRUSSELS, MAY 27.—His Majesty the King, since he gave to his Royal Highness the Prince'of Orange the post of Vice-President of the counsel State, has conferred upon him a new dignity, viz. the chief Command of all the Militia of the king dom, with the title of Colonel-General. PETERSBURGH, MAY 16.—The ports of Narva, Baltishport, Tagenrog, and Mariapol, are free from ice, and the navigation again open. Accounts from Schlusselberg of the 13th instant say, that a great deal of ice from lake Ladoga continues to come down the river. The Neva here is alternately covered with ice and free again.

ODESSA, MAY B.—The latest accounts from the neighbourhood of Varna speak, indeed, of attacks made by the Turks on 13Aldchik Jod Kcivarna, but do not confirm the reports that have been circulated of an action there, to the disadvantage of the Russians. At Varna and Sizeboli every thing is in the best condition. The Russian garrison has fortified the latter place very strongly, and placed batteries, rising above each other on all the neighbouring heights. Several ships have arrived here from Sizeboli, with several hundred Bulgarians on board, who bad fled to that place, because the whole surrounding country, as far as Adrianople, is laid waste, arid there was nothing left for their subsistence. The Russian fleet is said to be in the Gulf of Sizeboli. WARSAW, MAY 19.---His Majesty the Emperor issued a decree on the 16th, at Jablonna, in which he is pleased to order, that " to prevent any detri ment to the public service from a temporary inter ruption in the administration of the affairs of Poland, the authority given by him to the Governors and to the Administrative Council shall be executed by them during his Majesty's stay in the kingdom." Among the late arrivals are Count Nesselrode, Prince Wolkonski, Adjutant-General Adlerberg; Messrs. Sambrueski and Von Muller, Councillors of State; and Dr. Crichton, Princesses Alexandria Wolkonski and Unesow, and Countess Orlow and Modena.

PETERSBURGH, MAY l6.—The Journals con tain the particulars of the journey of his Majesty to Warsaw. A letter from Gallacz, of 28th April, confirms the arrival of the head-quarters in the town ; and adds, " All the troops that have wintered on the left bank of the Danube, are in motion to the points where they are to be assembled; the roads are now in pretty good order, but the overflowing of the rivers still impedes the march of the columns." The same letter contains an account of the land ing of the Turks in Little Wallachia, and their re pulse by the Russians, as . .ve have already related; and gives an account of an attempt Made some days later by the united flotillas of Silistria and Ruda. clink, to bring over the detachment of General Schilder, at the mouth of the Bota. The Turks were repulsed, and the Russians had only two men wounded. To-day (16th May) the Emperor Peter 1., of 110 guns, was launched from the Admiralty Docks.

An action, of which no particulars are known, is said to have taken place in the , Gulf of Bourgas. About 100 Russian prisoners arrived here yesterday, though the Russian blockading squadron has been rein forced. Small vessels arrive 'daily with provisions, so that there is no scarcity.
