In the spring of last year my disorder bad got to such a head, as nearly to put a-period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e an each arm, and toy legs were broka out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had anus two large nodes on it,,was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warns in bed, as n early to deprive me of rest; in this. lamentable state, I was recommended by Thompson, (who received an great a core by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do uu the 26th o. May ; in the 'course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit--in little more than a - month the ulcers on my headand arms were soundly healed— soon atter, the sores °ls my legs healed also ; leaving, how •ever, considerable distolouratioa in the skin, and pain in the .bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, an.l a little longer pei severance in your invalnablaMedicine,. subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and ;the nocturnal pains gradually going off.--I thus became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my ,former complaints—have recovered my 'former spirits and atrcugtit,lttui am become jolly.and fat, in which state having ' 'continued many mouths, to tUe astonishment of all who knew :lie, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but ..beg you, for the , good of other sislfering mortals, to snake this my case as pUblie tie pos‘ible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing yoo will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humbl e servant.

Di 01 eget' 1, 'lv t LITERARY NOTICE. `FOR THE .SUN. Ma. EDITOR—A. few weeks ago you gave us some accdunt of Archd eacon NARES'S (not Noires's) Glossary, but you gave no specimens, except from the introductory matter. I have since been induced to,turn tolhe Book, and think ft may be agreeable to your readers, and to yourself, to. have a few_of the more remarkable articles pointed out. I take them as they occur : " Acims. The plural ofoch, was undoubtedly a dissyllable, pronounced aitehes, and continued to be so used to the time of Butler and Swift, which last had in his shower in london (City. Shower) as first printed:— " Can by their pains and aches fin 4 " All turns and changes of the wind." ( findibr. Hi. ii. 407.) The examples are too numerous to be quoted. Mr. KE.Nint.t: was, therefore, certainty right in his dispute with the public on this word ; but whether a public performer may not, in some cases, be too right, is another question ; yet ach was pronounced ake, as now ; for proof of which see AJAX. I have turned to the City Shower hi Sir W. Scoff is Edition of Swift, vol. 14. p. 94., and find Swi FT'S line printed thus ; - Old aches will throb, your hollow tooth will rage. But /hese verses first appeared in the Taller, No. `238, where', in the folio edition, and in the earliest octavo, it stands, Old a-ehes throb, your hollow tooth, &c. So we are told in Nicutms's excellent edition of the Taller. Now the scrupulous accuracy of SWIFT, in words and metre, certainly removes all doubt, if any could still exist. The confirma. tion of ake, I find, consists in a vile pun of Sir J. HARRINOTON'S between Ajax and Age-akes. The article on ActrEtsses is also amusing, though not altogether new. " Atrr itEssEs.—lt is well known that there were none in the English theatres till after the Restoration. " Coryat says, in his account of Venice,— " Here I observed certain things that I never saw before—. for. I saw woman act a thing that I never saw before, though I have heard that it bath been sometimes used in London ; and they performed it with as good grace, action, and gesture, and whatsoever convenient for a player, as ever I saw any mas culine actor." (Crudities, vol. ii. p. 16, repr.) " A prologye and epilogue, spoken about June 1660, turn s particularli on this subject. These lines ate a part of the former : _ _ I itune unknown to any of the rust, To tell you news, I saw the lady drest, The woman plays to-day, mistake me not, No man in gown or page in petty-coat ; A woman to my knowledge, yet I can't, (If I shouid die) make affidavit on't. " Some French women, however, acted at the Black.Vriars (Histriomast, p. 3)5.) " The circumstance may also he traced from passages in the old dramatists. In the epilogue to "As you Like It," which was spoken by Rosalind,the player says ' " If I were a wo man, I would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me, complexions that liked me, and breaths that I defied not." " (layton censor's foreign theatres for permitting women to act, &c. The permission of women personals' to act, (loth very lunch enervate the auditory, and teacheth lust, while they would but feign it." (Fest. Notes, p. 272.) "They did, however, appear i n th e t h eatres o f ant i qu ity (see Cie. de 011ie. i. 31. Plat. de Rep. •p. 436. Fie. Hor. Sat. 11. iii.. 611.); but Shakspeare, who, like his contemporaries, ottd bated to all times the customs of his own, certainly thought of nothing more, when he gave these words to Cleopatra :-- 'The quick comedians Extemporally will stage us and present Our Alexandrian revels ; Antony Shall be brought drunken forth, and I shall see Some squeaking Cleopatra by my greatne ss I' the posture of a whore.' (Ant- v. 2 - 801 - a.) Hart, Chun, and Burt, played female parts when boys.-- (See Ilistoriono. Pl. xii. 340, &c. ) . " James Duport, who translated the Psalms, / 1 4e. was much °Wended at the scandal of introducing actresses, and wrote some indignant Alcaies on the subject, which he entitled In Ros cias, nostras scu Histridnea fteminas.'" " They begin, Nec femininum nomen hypocrite, Nec histrio, se granunatiern Et Priaciano, nempe solos Ease viros decet histiones, Hos tanturn habebant pristina Dumcastilas salvo, atque modestia,' . " lle concludes by giving a very singular piece of advice to these ladies:— ... Sin dramatis pars ease perges, Non nisi.' " (Muse subsecivte, p. 15.) That on Adamant may ulso be new to some of your readers. " ADAMANT.--The magnet; a very common usage in old authors : ' As true as steel as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, as turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant.' (Tro. and Cr. iii. 2.) As true to thee as steel to adamant). (Green's Tu. Q. O. Pl. vii. 107.) " Dr. Johnson has remarked this sense, and given other ex amples. This is decisive— ' As iron, touch't by the adamant's effect, To the North pole doth ever point direct, (Sylv. Dec. B. p. 64.) The adamant and beauty we discover To be alike; for beauty draws a lov er , The adamant his iron. (Brown, Brit. Past. Song 1.) " The mutual repulsion of two magnets, which takes place in same situations, is alluded to here ..---.........--- Away, We'll be as differing as two adamants ; The one shall shun the other.' (White Devil, 0. Pl. vi. 315.) "Lyly, in a foolish sentence, founded on an error, has joined adamant in the sense of magnet, with the mention of a dia mond. (Euph. L. 2. 6. and Euph. Eng. It. 1. 6. ) "Adamant is " - thus used so lately m in the English transla tion of Galland's Arabian Nights ; and, what is more extraor (Unary, it stands unaltered in Dr. J. Scott's corrected edition (1810.) In the story of the third Calendar we have this pas sage :- 1 To-morrow, about noon, we shall be near the black moun. taro, or mine of adamant, which at this very minute draws all your fleet towards it, by virtue of the iron in your ships ; and when we approach within a certain distance, the attraction o f the adamant will h ave su ch force, that all the nails will be drawn out of the sides and bottoms of the shim and fasten to the mountain, so th at y our ve s sels will fall to pi eces and s i nk, ' p. 254.) 1 ' As the word is now not current in this sense, it ought to have been changed to loadatone." The two articles on Ajax and Jukes appriar too long, taken together, for insertion in your Paper, probably, wh en I h ave If you like t b i u le t se th s e p y ee b im el e o n n s g , I to si o la n i e l another. loOked further, send you some more. Your's, EAST- INDIA HOUSE. SUGAR TRADE: Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East -In dia...House for the determinatio❑ of the following question, " That this Court is deeply impressed with the injustice and impolicy of the existing restrictions on the Sugar Trade of Bri tish India. " That these restrictions, while they operate most injuriously on the interests of. the inerchahts, the ship-owners, the sugar refiners, and the manufacturers of this country, as well as on those of the British community at large, are peculiarly oppres sive and unjust towards our fellow-subjects in India, and highly detrimental to the interests of the East India Company, not only as a commercial bOdy, but in connection with the prospenty of the dominions placed under their government. " That as the inhabitants of British India have the strongest 'claims on the protection of the East India Company, it is the ! duty of this Court to afford their energetic support to all mea sures .that have a tendency to promote the prosperity of the vast population over whom they preside, and who are equally entitled, with every other class of British subjects,. to the fa vourable consideration of The British Legislature. " That it appears .to this Court, that since the repeal, by the A'ets of last Session of Parliament, of the restrictions formerly imposed on the West India trade, no pretension exists for any exclusive protection to the, sugars of the West India Colonies against those of British India. " That as the present unequal duties on the sugars of the East and West Indies terminate in March, 1824 , this Court do earnestly recommend to the immediate attentiOn of the Court of Directors the necessity of using their strenuous efforts with his Majesty's Ministers to obtain an equalization of the -said duties. " That should these efforts prove unsuccessful, contrary to the just expectations of this Court, the Court of Directors be requested and enjoined to present petitions in the name and on behalf of the East India Company to both Houses of Parlia ment, praying for an e qualization of the duties on East and West India Sugars, and for permission to be heard by Counsel before the two Houses of Parliament respectively, in support of their claims." At six o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the numbers to be, viz. For the question, 479 I Against it, 189 I Majority; 290. LANG BOURN WARD. A wardrnote was yesterday held in the'church Of St. Dionis Backchurch, in Fenchureh-street, for the election of an Alderman in the room of Sir Jouw EAMEII, deceased. The Lord MAYOR arrived at about half-past two, and having taken the Chair, the ward beadle made proclamation, and the precept for convening the wardmote was read. Mr. BORRADAILE then proposed Sir Francis Desanges, citizen and dyer, as a candidate for the vacant office of Alderman. Mr. ELLIOT, in seconding the proposition, took occasion to remark, and to congratulate the ward upon the temperate and gentlemanly manner in which the contest had been conducted hitherto, and the total absence of all offensive personalities. Mr. MITT, is rising to propose another candidate for the office of Alderman, would be understood not to controvert the testimony which had been borne to the respectability of Sir Francis Desanges' character : but the' gentleman in 'whose-be half he would bespeak their suffrages was no less respectable, while, inasmuch he was a resident among them, lie was the more eligible to discharge the duties of the office. Much in convenience had frequently resulted from the ncen-residence of the Alderman within the ward, the whole of which would be obviated by the election of ,the gentleman whom lie had then the honour to propose, and with whore name he would con. elude. He then recommended Mr. John Key, citizen and stationer. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. LEI GIITOV seconded that recommendation ; after which The Loan MA it on, - having inquired whether there were any other candidates, and receiving no reply, proceeded to take the sense of the Meeting. On the show of hands, his Lordship declared the numbers to be— For Mr. Key, 59 I For Sir F. Desanges, and that the choice had therefore fallen on Mr,. Key. Mr. WEnsTER endeavoured to address the ,:lleeting in fa vour of Sir F. Desanges, but desisted on encountering consi, derable opposition. Mr. KEY, in returning thanks, assured the Meeting that the distinction and the authority which accompanied the office to which he aspired were less the objects of his ambition than the honour of representing the richest ward in the first city of the world. He disclaimed all hostility towards Sir F. Desanges, but he thought it was fitting that such a ward should be repre sented by a resident Alderman. If Sir F: Deranges were elect• ed, they would have to seek him as often as he might be want. eel, either at his house in Langham-place or in Spitalfields, His (Mr. Key's) youth had been mentioned as an obiection to him; but, while that was rapidly removing, he would instance the night Hon. the Lord Mayor, who had been elected At an earlier age than that at which he offered himself, and who hail never done any thing to disappoint the expectations formed of him. His own motto would be—that he was `, open to all par- . ties, and influenced by none ;" and his object would be to pro. mote the welfare of the ward of Langbdurn, the prosperity of the tity of London, and the happiness' of the British empire. Sir F. DESANGEB would remind the meeting that he was no stranger to them. He had served the office of Sheriff, and had received their thanks. He felt himself to be as much an inha bitant of the Ward as the gentleman who had last addressed them : it was true he lived in "gingham-place and at Spite). npht fi uler e eee l esinslitssltieos,ndua:inthdndelebiarlteeTihlelefsrtehhsootle manifested elected t l i d i always se pl a e e te happy Some dissatisfactiont see an y of his e c n o g n s e t x i s,( speaker onewihmi c dp o lan impatience, was shbegy quite i s o ut a e y l sidnu postpone, g re , ), that his ta thanks the nn kt sl for their favours: A poll (which is to continue two days) was then demanded on behalf of Sir F.

This being the first Seal before Easter Term, his Lordship was attended in Court by his Honour the Master of the Rolls. LLOYD v. Sr. PAUL. This was an application by the plaintitffor an injunction to restrain Sir Horace St. Paul, and Maria his wife, from sinking shafts for the purpose of working .mines of coal, iron -stone, and other mineral,' lying under • certain estates in the parish of Wednesbury, in the county of Staflbrd, the same having been reserved in certain leases granted by the Ward family to persons from whom the present plaintiff Lloyd derived his tide. It was also moved, that the several leases, deeds and documents, might be lodged in the hands of the defendant's clerk in Court, with liberty for all the parties to inspect them. When this case came formerly be fore the Court, an application for discovery had been resisted on the ground that the several estates had not been sufficiently identified in consequence of the greater part of the boundary lines which distinguished them having been deutroyed ; this part of the case was now supplied by the evidence of persons who had resided in the perish for many years, and who dis. tinctly pointed out the ancient boundaries to the several estates. On the other side it was contended that the title to the mines, if they had been ever reserved, was annulled by the fact of its not having been claimed by the plaintiff, who it was alleged had stood by and permitted the lessees to incur considerable expences in working the mines without attempting to inter. pose the right claimed by. the bill before the Court, or giving them notice of his intention to claiin its interference. Al re lease was also attempted to be set up. The defence had scarcely been commenced when the Court rose.

The following interesting intelligence from Lima has been communicated by Circular to the different mercantile houses concerned in the trade to that country:— Liz OCT. 12.—A very arbitrary proceeding on the part of the new Govermnent of Peru, viz. the assumption of a right to levy forced contributions on - foreigners, has given a new and unexpected turn to their affairs in this place. The English ba*:. unanimously resolved to leave the country; for, to say nothing of the ruinous nature to their present fortunes, of the sums - levied upon them individually, they can see nothing short of the complete subversion of all justice and principle in the general and arbitrary proceedings of the Congress: The sum ordered by Government to be exacted from the trade of the place wus 400,000 dollars; of which one-half 'Was to fall upon the few Fnglish residents, and the houses of those were assessed. at from 10 to 3400 dollars each, while - the richest natives were only rated at from Ito 5,000. Nothing could have been more partial in execution, or unjust in prin ciple, than the whole proceeding I and it is felt the more, as a liberal offer of a loan was made, which the I;overnment re fused, and characterised as an insult. The only course now left was that of leaving the country, and every Englishman in the place immediately proceeded to demand his-passport; these were at first refused—but, main the urgent application of Capt. Prescott,,the Minister promised they should be granted, and we lual fixed the 15th instant for our departure ; when, to our sur prise, the passports were again refused. Upon another applies lion by Capt. Prescott, the Minister of State wrote to him, that till the contribution was paid passports could not be given ; ; and Capt. P. was then requested by the British merchants to prevent British shipping from entering the bay. Upon adopting this decisive measure, Congress decided that the passports should be granted, withou t previous necessity of paying contribution though, to the great inconvenience of every one, it has been thought advisable to fix the 21st inst. for quitting the country; and the English establishments here will be broken up accord ingly on that day. OCTODE Ii 22.=-Government having hinted thatthe obnoxious measure of a forced contribution in the case of the English would be abandoned, provided they came forward with a loan, a slain of 73,400 dollars was offered them, to be repaid by bills on the Custom House, negociable in six months hence; and the tnat, ter is before Congress. They seem willing to take the loan, but not to rescind the decree upon which they have considered foreigners liable to contributions ; but as this is made by the latter an indispensable condition of the loan, nothing can be done till this point be settled. On it s d ec i s ion for or against us we must yet consider our remaining in the country or leaving it to hinge. IRELAND, WIIITEBOY OUTRAGES. (From the Cork Advertizer. ) On Monday night, a fire was discovered at , Old Court, the seat of Jonas Stawell, Esq. The Doneraile volun teers, and a party of the 22d infantry', with sonic of Major Carter's, police, immediately repaired to the spot, and found that the out-offices and'a large rick of hay had been set firs to: Mr. Stawell had perceived the fire in time to save the offices. At, the same time, three dwelling- houses belonging to Thos. Wade Foot, Esq., near Shanballymore, were bUrnt to the ground. Two of them were inhabited by two men who had just returned from the Assizes, where they had given testi. molly concerning the value of property destroyed in the late outrages. At the same time a dwelling-house and out-offtces, with fifty barrels of corn, at Ballyhea belonging to a man of the name of Herlihy, were burnt. All the above fires could be seen at the same moment. A enrrespondent concludes his letter by saying, that " altogether the country appeared quite illuminated, and the sight was shock ing beyond description !" On the 'same night, the house of James Spratt, Esti., opposite Itockmills, was attacked and robbed of a blunderbuss, a mus ket, a pistol, and two swords. On the same night, the bootie of lUr. Hennessey, at Fort• William, near Doneraile, was attacked by a body of ruffians. ( Front the Cork Constitution. ) DESTRUCTION or TUE REV. 11n. WALLIS'S OVA-Or.. }'ICES BY Tut; INCENDIARIES.—Yesterday elitesday, the Ist inst.) a great ills n was excited in this city among the country gentlemen attending the Assizes, in consequence of various es ports in art illation of burnings on the previous night, We shortly aster tained that on .Monday night the out-offices of the Rev.

The per petration of such an atrocious outrage, at the moment when the King's Commission is open, and the Grand Panel assemt bled, speaks volumes on the disturbed state of this county. The following is from ,a respectable correspondent, dated Dungarvan, March 31 "On Saturday last a desperate affray commenced in this town between two rival factions, armed with tremendous bludgeons, stones, &c., and but for the timely interference of Mr. Loner gan, a Magistrate, assisted by Mr. Croker chief constable, and his efficient police, who in the most Setermined manner rushed in among the rioters', and took several of the ringleaders prisoners, the affair would have terminated fatally. The factious were from different parts of the country, and agreed to settle their differences here. Fitzgerald, who was convicted at the last Assizes of Waterford, for burglary and robbery in the house of Callaghan 111`Carthy, was brought in here on Saturday evening, and this morning was escorted by a strong guard of military and police, and a numerous body of the gentry, to Old Parish Mountain, between this town and Youghal, where be is to undergo the awful sentence of the law. The unfortunate M‘Carthy, .since the attack on his house, was barbarously murdered by Fits geral. fie was arrested at Fermoy on his way to Cork, it is supposed to obtain a passage to America."

DARING ATTAEY OF lIIDANDMEN,-ONE OF THE PARTY SIIOT DEAD--AND TWO PRISONERS TAKEN'. • . We lament to say that alarming symptoms of instibortiina tion have been lately manifested to a daring extent in our vici. nity. On the night of Monday, the 31st of March, a party of men broke into the houses of' Mr. EdWard Brady and hisherd Thomas Cassitlay ; beat them severely and committed various depredations. While at Mr. Brady's, a boy ran to Ladiston, and informed John C. Lyons, Esq., of what was going forward. This Gentle. man, with that zeal for preserving the public tranquillity which has ever characterized his Magisterial capacity, instantly armed himself and servants, ami went to Mr. Brady's assistance, where one of those misguided legislators lost his life; rashly re. fusing to deliver himself to the laws and to the instant of his death endeavouring to wrest the blunderbuss from .Mr. Lyons.
