THE CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS. THE Season of the Year is approaching when the publi c w ill h ave a dditional r e ason t o con g r a tulate th emselves upon this important and national invention. So ~kany attempts hav e been naade to mislead the good folks of the M an etropolis, by p re t en din g t o c u re the crying evil of bad water, W ithout the least pretension, that we were amongst the m ay,„ who rema i ne d scept i ca l as to th e p re t ens i ons o f th e rtoyal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular demonstra tift by having one fixed up in a cistern, and we have large •• "IT no sort of hesitation in pronouncing it QUITE COM PLETE, and in giving it OUR. UNQUALIFIED PRAISE. The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro- Polls have given the strongest testimony, that they may be erthidered, in the metropolitan city of London as an ab solute " God-send," but we will illustrate their opinions "S' stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ ; and l'et let us examine the state of the water, as now drank 9 7 the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not Yet availed themselves of this Filter, and our readers will bear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence l iv en last season in the BRITISH HOUSE 01? PARLIAMENT. The following eminent and learned men in their voca ti'nis have given evidence, of which the following is ne cessarily a short extract, vii.:— ~Sir Henry flalfincl, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr. ill!Omas , Dr. Turner, Drs. limns, Yates, Kerrison, Selmer ", Johnson, and Paris, &c. Etc.--they pronounce the wa ter sent into their housea to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated . with d -ecayeil vegetable matt e rs, and other substances pre judicial to health ; that suchniatters in the stomach greatly contribute to the production of that state of FAULTY nt.• °RaTtots and IMPURITY Of BLOOD; that it is HO FUT/VI an d ImPuitn, •as to be unfit for the breakfast table an d for culinary purposes, and that it adds so much to the oth,:r un wholesome constituents of bread, as to render every meal injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water 'lent into the cisterns during the hot weather frequently became alma PUTRID; and they have no doubt that the ,i -n l i nued use of it WITHOUT FILTERING is capable of -pro "eing deleterious effects; that the Thames water is ex tremely bad, foul, dirty, and unwholesome, front the great quantity of FILTHY MATTERS CONTINUALLY POUR- IhQ HITS IT FROM NUMEROUS SEWERS; and Dr. Ker -142u makes: we acquainted with a fact, the perusal of • "Lech will excite the same disgust in the ailed of the r ender, we ourselves feel iu narrating it.

Dr. Somerville, th e p h ys i c i an to Ch e l sea Hospital, states Le water to be very impure. " The tide," he says, "FRS UP THE MASS OF IMPURITY TRODUCED BY ALL ERA. IS CORRUPTIBLE IN THE ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE WORLD, ToorniEß. WITH THE NOXIOUS FILTH OF OAS AND " 1111 . MANUFACTORIES, THAT CONSTANTLY SLOW INTO TIKALIES FROM PATTERSEA DOWN TO GRAVESEND.'

"As A PHYSICIAN," he says, " I CAN- HoT 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 Ittraisrous " And in the last edition of his work he goes still f urt h er, and asserts, that if a remedy be not ap plied to th e ev il, ‘‘ THE RAVAGES OF SOME EPIDEMIC mAY BE FAIRLY ANTICIPATED." SUCH IS THE PICTURE-THE FAPPIIFUL AND FRIGHT PP' PICTURE--OF THE CONDITION OF THE WATER OF THE }IAII4B I AS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANIES TO THEIR ` ▪ tIT EUERS. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, Ott populous city in the world—the seat of a more opu y of nobility and gentry than is to be found in tcother M e t ro p o li s — s h ou ld , f or so l ong a t i me, have cls? c ontented to have SEEN DAILY RUNNHIG INTO THEIR C 411 ", AND TO HAVE U SED , FOR ALL DOMESTIC AND ULINARY 'PURPOSES, A NECESSARY OF LIFE, SO LOADED W ITH ALL SORTS OF IMPURITIES AS TO BE PRONOUNCED, EV PROFESSIONAL MEN OP THE FIRST EMINENCE, TO ax OFF NINE TO THE SIGHT, disgusting to the imagination, and destructive to the health, is a fact that would not hav e been credited, and that ought not to have been "'edited, but upon evidence unanswerable.

AND DESTITUTE OE TASTE AND SMELL." The rapidity of the process may be understood by a observation, " THAT SO FAST AS THE WATER IS meerama AT. THE TOP OF TILE CISTERN', SO FAST IT WILL D IECILA Ea Y. ITSELF FitOM THE BOTTOM." i 0 " But where," the re a d er w ill naturally excla i m, "i s thinproof of all this t o b e f oun d ? must have some g more solid and satisfactory than bare assertions. "-- The following atatement must, we think, set the doubts of the m ost sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. Hume, the r espectahle and talented chemist of Long A cre, who lias long - been employed by Government in pore, waters, had two bottles sent to hint for a Al Y 3 atioll ; THE ONE FULL OF ALL SORTS,,OF ANIMAL !lib VEGETABLE MATTERS IN A STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, titb STRONGLY IMPREGNATED WEN' CAS ; the other, a tle which had contained the same foul ingredients, but 41 / 4 1) 741 . purified by the Royal Filter. trains % Unfiltered bottle he found, he says, forty-six s ow and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains ter) . 4 ted of impurities, and the remaining sixteen grains w ho l i tile original ingredients peculiar to the water, and h ew , 'NI in it : " fur," he observes, " there is no water, s ak e :er pure and whol esome , w h et h er f rom d eep we ll s , esii ii ra cial springs, or any ot h er source , t h at i s f ree f rom he a hl i. ;;nd other soluble salts, not at all injurious to .11 th e filtered bottle he found only sixteen grains of loo tte j i ?no, which, OR examination, proved to be the same ; 1 4 4 " 3 peculiar to, and soluble in, the water in its pn ✓omit:state, and perfectly free from the impurities and tle ni . gent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by tal i L td Yegetahle flatters, a slight impregnation by animal boric some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and toll-Aincar - id ga3. Mr. Hume concludes with bearing the high testimony to the merits of this discovery: D e , l 4 r a very careful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro inii the method which has been adopted to filter this v 'tneu of water to be most effectual, and hi e hly descry nut e t public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a t i l l• e ittent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, is ful opinion I h a d f orme d of this n e w pr oces s f o r filtering 11141" Y confirmed." We should add, that the water thus sa i „l t 'ki, ALTHOUGH PURPOSRLY STRONGLY ISITREG.. erty: WITH GAS AND OTHER Lear URITIES, BECAME I I ',Lunn, AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL. 44: 3 it is clearly proved, THAT OF THE FORTY-SIX 1 1.4, 4 6 AND A HALE OF SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY DP 4 , IN TUN ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINS Pet, lIIT ANCES PASSED THROUGH IT; AND- WHICH SIX tN 4 8 " 41 / 7 13 ARE PROVED TO BE PECULIAR TO WATER CO hit l ' u ntrztvis STATE, AND NOT AT ALL DELETERIOUS C: 11 H• However much, therefore, the observation of ilt rt • nHaissioners may apply to all former systems ef a „ • Q " • ) is greatly to be regretted that, before the close No. 11,350. of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experithents, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Braude, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Seudamore f and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cistorns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the most turbid, foitid water of cbrystuline 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, and indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is nowremoved. 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. The expence is from 305. to 41. or 5/. 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 this thickly peopled Metropolis. We shall only add that the apparatus may be inspected at the Office 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.

IN the morning of Life, when the blandish ments of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for Ilia rebellion in the compromise of his mental as well as bodily powers.

The youth who has enervated his frame by ►he strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of folly will too readily comprehend without further deSeription, may find relief from his misery, and he kindly taught to regain his lost place in the scale of creation.

The man Of pleas - are exposed to and suffering from Lues Venerea,' - however aggravated by malpractice of the quack, or the. coneeithrient from diffidence, may find a certain restoration ; and finally in cases where the delay of a oonnubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to despair, they offer to the married female those hopes which she can reasonably appreciate.

The following interesting narrative of two murders committed in England in 1758, was written by a gentleman now livi►►g in Edinburgh, and who was on the spot at the time of Ash ton's death, one of the ►murderers, who divulged the crime twenty years after its perpetration December lit h, 177-8, Eye-dale, commonly called Edale, in the county of Derby. The following melancholy account was given to Mr. Hanley, by Thomas Marshall and his wife : • Twenty years ago, a young gentleman and lady came from Scotland, as supposed, upon a matri monial scheme, and were travelling through this county, but to what place is not known; however, they were both robbed and murdered, at a place called the Winnets or Winyards, near Castleton, in the county aforesaid. Their remains were found about seven years ago, by some workmen who were sinking an engine shaft at the place. James Ashton of Castleton, who died about' fortnight ago, and was one of the murderers, lay miserably afflicted with illness, and tormented in his conscience. lie had been dying to all appearance for ten weeks, but could not ! before he confessed the fact. He said himself, Nicholas Cock, Thomas Hall, John Bradshaw, and Francis Butler, met the above mentioned gentleman and lady, in the Win nets or Winyard aforesaid, pulled them from their horses, and dragged them to the barn, near the Winyards, stripped them of their clothes, and took from them about two hundred pounds in money, They seized the gentleman, and cut his throat. The lady intreated them upon her knees only to spare 'his life, and begged, in all the agonies of distress, to be turned opt naked ; but one of the wriA c h es too k a miner's pike and drove it into tier head, and she expired immediately. They left the dead bodies in the barn (which bel‘nged to one of the villains) for three days. hen they came the first or second nights to bury them, they were so terrified with au awful noise, as they thought, that they durst mot attempt to take them away; but the third night Cock said it was only the devil, and he would not hurt them, so they took the bodies and buried them. Ashton said she was the handsomest woman he had ever seen; his share of the money he said never did him any good, as he was a coal carrier, and bought horses with it to carry coals to a cupela upon the Sheffield road, but they all died. Before they murdered the young man, the lady intreated them most piteously not to . kill him, as she had been the cause of his coming into the country. Although justice never overtook these wretches in the common way, yet it pleased God that they all came to untimely ends except Ashton, the confessor. SALE OF A BRIDE. It is no uncommon occurrence in England, for a husband to lead his spouse to the market- . place with a halter abotit her neck, and then make a bona fide disposal °filer to the highest. bidder. A friend of ours who has had, to say• the least on the subject, his own share of the miseries of matrimony, and who, therefore most unlogically, concludes that every other " married man " is similarly situated,--assures ,us that he is not at all surprised at this practice of our Eng lish neighbours ; and stoutly insists that it . viould constitute the " perfection of reason " to = . tolerate the same method of doing business m our more northern latitude. It is perfectly new . to us, however, to hear of a bridegroom selling his bride ; and he certainly must have very er roneous notions touching the " honey moon who could be guilty of such a deed. ".True it is, and of verity," however, that within the last three weeks such a circumstance happened at no ' great distance from the " gude town of after the " devoted lovers" had' been, as the Americans say, duly published in church. - The' bridegroom, as the story goes, had been spend ing a convivial hour or two with a' few acquaint ances ; and the subject of the intended marriage was very naturally introduced among othet topics of the day. One of the individuals present began to congratulate the bridegroom, first on his good fortune in procuring the consent of " the fair" to accept of his hand ; and, secondly, on the boundless bliss which awaited him,—expressing at the same time the secret wish of every bache lor, however some. may labour to conceal it, that he were - in his truly enviable situation. " And what would you gi'e to be in the bride groom's situation ?" interrogated the bridegroom or some one present. " I'll give five pounds," • was the immediate answer. " And I'll be se curity for the payment of the Money," said a third party. " It's a bargain, and I will give up all claim to the bride," rejoined the bridegroom, seemingly exulting at the happy exchange. Hands were accordingly shaken as a proof of the bargain's being concluded, and witnesses were appealed to, to prove that all was fair. The purchaser, however, on maturer reflection, seemed to regret the bargain he had made, and intimated his willingness to let the " lumber," as some cynic wickedly termed the article bought,. remain with the original proprietor. The bridegroom, , however, whose love to his lady may be great, but whose affection for the ciiculating medium seems to be incomparably greater, would not agree to this ; and he th ere f ore summone d the individual who made the bargain, to the Sheriff Small Debt Court of the county in which the affair happened, for the payment of the purchase money. The case was to have to come on for a hearing on Tuesday last, and as the novelty of the affair had excited an extraordinary interest through the width and breadth of the country, the Court was crowded to excess with persons anxious to hear the details of the case. The affair, however, had been compromised on the preceding evening; and, consequently, they were disappointed. The purchaser, we are informed, agreed to pay the bridegroom three pounds, ex clusive of the expences, and at the same time to renounce all claim to the bride.—El b oin Courier. TREACHERY DISCOVERED. The following particulars disclose o'ne of the most wicked attempts to ruin and ultimately de stroy a respectable tradesman that was ever dis covered :—Mr. Christopher Traylen, a general shopkeeper and tallovi-chandler, at Debden, near Saffron Walden, had his dwelling-house and premises, with the principal part of his stock, consumed by fire in the night of Easter Monday. the 16th of April, 1827. Mr. Traylen had any doubt in his own mind but tbs, i t was the work of an incendi a ry ; he knew he w as be set by a discarded journe vPian, who h a d cor rupted his apprentices., and that h e was f requent l y defrauded . and rol' s ' oe d b y t h em, b ut it was a cosi s ''.3llle tilne b e f ore h e cou ld get ev id ence sill o prosecut e . H owever , at t h e l ast as s et: as sizes, he suc cee d e d i n conv i ct i ng Th omas Ru therford, one of his apprentices, who was visited with a slight punishment, in consequence, it is supposed, of some strong affidavits made in his favour, when bailed out of prison, previously to his trial, together with the perjured evidence offered to the Court on 'the latter event, which the guilty parties have since admitted ; it has also come to Mr. Traylen's knowledge, that these miscreants had so conspired together, that in the event of Rutherford's acquittal, they meant instantly to prefer a bill of indictment against Mr. Traylen, for arson, and to give false evidence in furtherance of their plan ; but after Ruther ford was in prison, under his sentence, he learnt that a fellow-apprentice at home was about to confess his errors : he (Rutherford) sent to a magistrate, and requested that he might also be permitted to disclose the truth, the result of which was, the apprehension of John Cock, the journeyman, and others. Such was the effect of the charge as concerned Cock, that he took the first opportunity he could of cutting his throat, but the wound did not prove mortal ; on the contrary, from his apptarance, and from the evi dence of a surgeon, on Tuesday, it is likely he will recover skinciently to be able to take his trial in March, until which period he will remain in. gaol. It is due to the character of Mr. Tray len, that these circumstances should be made public, because such was the impression of the governors of the Hertford and Cambridge Fire office, that they resisted his claim upon them in the first instance, although they very fairly after wards agreed to refer the matter to the arbitra tion of respectable persons in the neighbourhood, who ultimately awarded to Mr. Traylen his whole claim of 9001. To such an extent had the malice of Cock carried him, that nothing short of this unfortunate man's destruction, it would appear, could satisfy hiM. He procured a brace of pis tols for the apprentices, under the pretence of affording them amusement in shooting at rats about the premises ; but when he gave them to the young mrn, he is said to have observed, " Now you have got pistols, if Traylen says any thing to you, or strikes you, shoot him." Pro videntially the minds of the young m e n w er e not so hardened as to induce them to add to their other crimes that of murder.— Chebnyinil Chronicle.
