MESSRS. JOSIAH WEDGWOOD AND SONS' monwealth was not a theocracy, it was a nomo cracy. On the other hand, if, as we suppose in the Mosaic policy, the civil was subordinate to the religious end, still the immediate well-being of the community was not sacrifi ce d t o th e more remote object. Independent of the temporal blessings promised to the maintenance of the law, the Hebrew commonwealth was so consti tuted, as to produce in all circumstances of the times, (the situation and character of the people considered,) as much or more real happiness and independence than any existing or imaginary go vernment of ancient times. Let Moses be judged according to his age, he will appear not merely the first who, by his single genius, found ed a commonwealth on just principles ; but a lawgiver who advanced political society to as high a degree of perfection as the state of civi lization which his people had attained, or were capable of attaining, could possibly admit.— Family Library—History of the Jews.

MIL GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS. ' PORTABLE CISTERNS AND PORTABLE FILTERS OF ALL DIMENSIONS. BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT. THE prevailing opinion of the Impurity of the Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is so well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous testimonials of the most eminent of the Metro politan Faculty, that any comment in this place would appear like questioning the national common sense. We will therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, and Dr. KERRISON, in their examination in the House of Commons. Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, 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 fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloacae, 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. X ERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the Perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind o f the reader, as we ourselves feel ;n narrating it. On in specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, i h e says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rene 'ugh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine . and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED F LOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;” from which he con eledes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre -112014 in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually Passes into our cisterns." This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a cr ystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually destroyin g both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and insures .t* effectual preventive against the possibility of employing any other water than that which has passed the Filter, either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any domestic II ZP° 4O s. The rapidity of the process of Filtration stands "Picuoue amongst its advantages. The Proprietor does not Produced, the precise number of Gallons capable of being Willwater but is enabled confidently to assert, that so fast Wice water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast it dischar e itself from the bottom in a highly puri fied state. g Its - Moderate Price (from Three Guineas upwards, but tply exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions of "Ster ns), by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers, lifers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the b "es of a multitude of diseases, which are justly atiri et424 to the noxious particles contained ill the water. 40 accommodate Private Families who desire to have toportable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are be had of all dimensions, at the Office, in the Strand, ra nd are forwarded to all parts of England.

This action, which has excited so much interest, went off without a trial. When the Jury were sworn, Mr. Serjeant GOOLD; the leading counsel for the defendant, Gerard Callaghan, Esq., rose and said, — Before this case is entered upon, I think it my duty to say that it is a case which ought not to be tried. I know the kindness and car.dour of my friend, the Solicitor-General, and I am sure that neither he nor any other person can conceive that Mr. Gerard Cal laghan was the author of the slander for which this action was brought. I think, for the sake of the public time, and in consideration of the feelings of all parties concerned, that the particulars of this case ought not to go before the public. After a few words from the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. Justice TORRENS, Mr. Serjeant GOOLD proceeded.—My Lord, it has been charged against Mr. Callaghan, in placards about the streets, in the public prints, and in every shape that the libel could gain publicityohat he wgs the author of these reports, and all he i s anx i ou s for is to clear himself from that dreadful imputation. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was ready to meet his Learned Friend in the same spirit, and he was glad that the proposition was made before any of the pleadings had been opened. He wished, how ever, to know what the defendant was prepared to do. After some further observations between the counsel on both sides, Mr. Serjeant GOOLD said that from mere credu lity his client was unfortunately made the dupe of declarations against the character of Lady Agnes Byng, which he now believed to be utterly false. — There was, he said, no man in the community now more entirely convinced of the atrocity, the wicked ness, and the utter falsehood of the publications re flecting on the character of that amiable lady than Mr. Callaghan was; and he instructed his Counsel now to make that public . declaration. And if it could be conveyed in any stronger or more appropriate language, he was ready to make it, or to do any thing else that might be thought satisfactory to the feel ings of that interesting and respectable young lady, and of the gentleman who was her husband. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was perfectly satisfied with this candid and honourable avowal on the part of the defendant. Mr. Callaghan, who was in Court, expressed in the strongest terms his regret for having uninten tionally given a moment's pain to Lady Agnes Byng or her husband, by appearing to credit a report so scandalously false. Mr. Callaghan disclaimed alto gether having ever been influenced by political feel ings towards any of the parties concerned. The Learned JUDGE, after expressing his pleasure at the amicable arid honourable manner in which the action terminated, discharged the Jury. CHARACTER OF MOSES. The Hebrew lawgiver was a man who, consi dered merely in an historical light, without any reference to his divine inspiration, has exercised a more extensive and permanent influence over the destinies of his own nation and mankind at large than any other individual recorded in the annals of the world. Christianity and Mahome tanism alike respect, and, in different degrees, derive their origin from the Mosaic institutes. Thus, throughout Europe, with all its Ameri can descendants, the larger part of Asia, and the north of Africa, the opinions, the usages, the civil as well as religious ordinances, retain deep and indelible traces of their descent from the Hebrew polity. To his own nation Moses was chieftain, historian, poet, lawgiver. He was more than a ll th ese —h e was the author of their civil existence. Other founders of republics, and distinguished legislators, have been, like Numa, already at the head of a settled and or ganised community; or have been voluntarily invested in legislative authority, like Charondas, Lycurgus, and Solon, by a people suffering the inconveniences of anarchy. Moses had first to form his people, and bestow on them a country of their own, before he could create a common wealth. The Hebrews would either have been absorbed in the population of Egypt, or remain ed a wretched Pariah caste, had Moses never lived. In this condition he took them up, and rescued them from captivity : finding them unfit for his purpose, he kept them for forty years under the severe discipline of the desert ; then led them as conqueror to take permanent posses sion of a most fruitffil region. Yet, with singu lar disregard to his own fame, though with great advantage to his design, Moses uniformly referred to an earlier and more remote personage the dignity of parent of his people. The Jews were children of Abraham, not of Moses ; they were a distinguished nation as descendants of the pa triarch, not as compatriots of the lawgiver. The virtue of pure and disinterested patriotism never shone forth more unclouded. The permanent happiness of the whole people was the one great object to which the life of Moses was devoted ; so that, if we could, for an instant suspect that' he made use of religion for a political purpose, still that purpose would entitle him to the highest rank among the benefactors of mankind, as hav ing been the first who attempted to regulate so ciety by an even-written law. If God were not the sovereign of the Jewish nation, the law was: the best and only safe viceregent of Almighty Providence to which the welfare of human com munities can be entrusted, If the Hebrew cow- PRICE OF BREAD.

Whereas at the General Quarter Session of the Peace, held in and for the County of Sur rey, on Tuesday, the 14th day of October last, Charles Nicholas Pallmer, Esq., John Scriven, Serjeant-at-law, George Holme Sumner, Ro bert Hedger, and William Nottidge, Esquires, five of the Committee to whom it was referred to consider of the best means of carrying. into execution two Acts of Parliament—the one passed in the 47th year of his late Majesty's reign, and the other in the 9th year of his pre sent-Majesty's reign—for regulating the Vend and Delivery of Coals in certain parts of the Counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Kent, and Es sex, and the Cities of London and Westmin ster, and for the appointing of Principal Land Coal Meters for the County of Surrey, and to whom it was referred to frame Bye-laws, Rules, and Regulations for better regulating the offices of Principal Land Coal Meter and Labouring Land Coal Meter, and to superintend the con duct of such Principal Land Coal Meters, and the persons employed under them—did report to the Court that they had held several meetings in pursuance of the said order of reference, and had made strict inquiry into the manner in which the said Acts of Parliament had been car ried into execution, and into the conduct of the Principal and Labouring Land Coal Meters, as well as into the conduct of the wharfiugers and coal-dealers in their transactions with the public, and were sorry to observe that they had, in the course of that inquiry, de tected mal-practices of the most systematic and extensive kind, both in the coal merchants and labouring meters ; among which might be men tioned a practice called " skimming," which is the taking from the surface of the coals in the room of a barge which had been sold a quantity of coals (usually about four sacks) before they were carried away. That another practice almost universal was, when a room of coals had been purchased as pool measure (which entitles the purchaser to the whole of the coals in that parti cular room, whatever may be the quantity), to send to the purchaser 66 sacks (and those gene rally deficient in measure), and to carry the re mainder either to the warehouse of the merchant, or to some other purchaser as measured coals, although they had not been measured, thereby committing a double fraud. That another prac tice at some wharfs was, to place the waggons that were loading from a room behind a screen, so that although the purchaser himself might be on the craft seeing that all the coals he had pur chased were emptied out of that room, the coal porters, being concealed from view by the screen, carried some of the sacks to the warehouse of the merchant. That another fraud Was effected 'by what was technically called " working the oracle," which is the working of two gangs of men at the same time, the one in filling the sacks by bushel measure, the other by pool measure, when in pitching the sacks into the two waggons, which are placed near each other, the gang that carry the pool sacks, when they have a convenient op portunity, drop those sacksinto the waggon where the measured sacks only should be placed. That many instances had also been stated to them of waggons being loaded . between the hour of nine o'clock, at which the meter leaves the wharf at night, and the hour of five, at which he returns to it in the morning. That instances were also not nnfrequent of waggons being sent out without the tickets which ought to accompany them being signed by the meter, and one case had come to their knowledge of the meter's name being signed by the wharf clerk. That various other frauds had been practised by the merchants and dealers by means of bribing the labouring meters, who had been in the constant habit of receiving. from the merchants and coal-dealers at some wharfs a re gular weekly pay, and at other wharfs after the rate of 2s. or 2s. 6d. for what is called a " long five" (that is, five chaldrons of coals sold by pool measure, and sent out deficient in quan tity), and about the same sums for each room of coals skimmed ; and that there were several sums of money deposited at the Coal Meter's Office by some of the newly appointed labouring meters, which they re ceived as bribes, and very properly handed over to the principal Meters; and that it was admitted to Mr. Turquand by Messrs. Horne, 1 that the dealers were in the habit of depositing money with the Clerk of the Wharfs for the la bouring Meters. And they did further report, that when they were informed of the malprac tices above alluded to, they considered it to be expedient to suspend any proceedings against the parties, until more complete evidence of the facts could be obtained; but when that was sup plied, they felt it incumbent upon them to ex press their opinion to the principal Meters, that it was their duty forthwith to institute proceed ings against the parties in all cases that had oc curred within the period limited by the Act fnr laying informations, and that proceedings had been commenced accordingly ; but the period for laying ,informations had run out with regard to many of the cases stated in the Report, dur ing the time occupied in making the necessary inquiries. And they. further reported, that they thought it their duty in support of the charge of mal-practices, to detail at some length seyeral, cases stated to them by some of the labouring Meters, and which statements they, the labour ing Meters, had declared they Were ready to verify upon oath (which cases were detailed in the said Report accordingly). And whereas, upon hearing the said Report read, it was or dered by the Court that , the said Report should be received, and that it should be referred tq the I same Committee (with the addition 4: the A. 7 0 , ;- gistrates hereinafter named); and that th- e said Committee should consider and repo;~ to the Court at an acljo_urned Session, io be holden at Saint Mary, 'Newington, the 19th (lay of November then next ensuing, what pro. ceedings should in their judgment be adopted minecnotinoia in consequence of ce theof die disclosure of thP frauds said AevoTt, And it was General Quarter Session, a petition or corn plaint in writing was laid before the Court by Messrs. Thomas Home, William Horne, and James Home, of the Falcon Wharf, coal mer chants, charging George Wilcox and Charles Smith, two labouring meters stationed at the said wharf to superintend the admeasurement and delivery of coals, with demanding a bribe, and praying that a day might be appointed for the hearing and . determination of the said eon,- plaint ; whereupon it was ordered by the Court, that the said complaint should be heard at the Session House, at St. Mary, NeWington, in this county, on Monday, the 3d November then next ensuing; and it was further ordered, that it should be referred and recommended 'to the said Committee to consider the propriety of defray ing the costs and charges which Might - he neces sarily incurred by the - said George Wilcox and Charles Smith in their defence out of the ni - eta: 4 e fund. Now we, whose .names • are hereunto subscribed; being seven of the said : Committee, do report, that wi th regar d to that part of the order of reference which directs us to consider and report to the Court what steps should in our judgment be taken, in consequence of the discloSure of the frauds mentioned in the said Report, are of' opinfou that the only course which can be pursued is to follow up the prosecutions already begun, and to iimi tute proceedings in all the other cases mentioned in the Report, which are within the time limited by the Statute for laying informations ; to direct the principal land coal meters to be extremely vigilant in the detection of frau& arid irregulari ties in the coal dealers in future, and invariably to prosecute such frauds and irregularities, when there is a reasonable expectation of bringing them home to the parties ; to watch closely the conduct of the labouring meters, and to suspend such as they find conniving at fraud, or other Wise neglecting their duties, and to be careful to ap point such men only on whom, after a strict in. quiry into their characters, they think they can depend. And we further report, that in con formity with the opinion above expressed,..and 'in consequence of the instructions we gave to the principal meters previously to the last Session, that it was their duty to prosecute all the cases mentioned in the said Report where the time for laying informations had not expired, and consi dering also that if we had waited for the direc- on of the Quarter Sessions, that time would have run out in many instances, we came to a re solution to . prosecute all such cases, under the authority given by the said last-mentioned Act of Parliament ; and we now beg leave to lay be fore the Court a statement of the proceedings that have been instituted in the several cases of fraud'and bribery mentioned in the Report, and the result of such proceedings. With regard: to the several frauds stated to have been committed, and bribes given at the Albion Wharf during the month of August and September last, no proceedings could be h a d, as th e ti me f or l ay i ng informations (whi c h i s li m i te d b y t h e A ct to one month after the offence committed) had run 'out ; and with regard to the frauds mentioned in the said Report to have occurred at the Falcon and Red Lion Wharfs, they are of such a nature that the parties injured can alone prosecute : that neither Mr. Manning nor Mr. Love well, dealers in coals at the Vauxhall Wharf, were prosecuted for bribing George Wilcox, the labouring meter, in the month of September, as mentioned in the said Report, because Mr. Turquand, the principal meter, in whose district it occurred, discreetly considered that it was not expedient to put him forward as a witness, pending an inquiry into'his conduct for demanding bribes at Messrs. Horne's wharf, which might affect his character ; but, on the hearing of another case against the said Mr. Lovewell, for giving a bribe to the said George Wilcox at the beginning of October, after the acquittal of the said George Wilcox, it appeared from the evidence 'of his • own witness that the said Thomas Lovewell had given two bribes instead of one, and he was convicted in the penalty of 151. That on hearing of the infor mation against the said Joseph Manning, for giving a bribe to the same meter early in tb e same month, he pleaded guilty, and was fed Si. That on the hearing of two informations gagnaiinngstbrNibleessstros.

That with respect to the frauds and bribery mentioned in the said Report to have taken place at the Northumberland wharf, infor mations were laid against Mr. Todd and Mr. Hamilton Megarey, and the information against the latter was quashed on account of a mistake in his Christian name ; but Mr. Todd was con victed in the full penalty of 201, And we further report, that with regaTa to that part of the order of reference which directs us to con sider the propriety al defraying out of th e me tage fund the costs which . necessarily be in curred in klefending the said (xeorge Wilcox a n d Charles Smith again s t a charge ofdemaudin g bribes, upon hearing the rep resentat i ons of the principal meters, with a view to f urt h er t h e ends of justice, and under the authority giveuby the said last-men tioned Act of Parliameut, we gave di rect i ons t h at they should have professional assistanc e ; and we have now 114 satisfaction to report, that the complaio against the said George Wilcox and ckliqles Smith was unanimously dismissed by the Court of Quarter Session before which the complaint was heard. And we further report, that with respect to the examination the journals of the principal meters, reft , :red to us, and more particulaoy their reasu.P.'s for the sus pension of 4ny of the labouring meters therein the Court at the next stated, •;•, , e have examined such journals, and in stijseucstpoeiritdheed s : wi b p u e t n s a i quire] into the 'rounds on which the labouring are few and unimportant, and we may have occ4sion to call the attention of I ,:e e s t s e i r o s n h to av thee been charge of the labouringi meters by the principal meters, who have forborne too into the details at thi%l time.
