They used to catch flounders, eels, roach, smelts, salmon, &c. before they were ruined. The water gi , ts worse every year ; the cause is the gas they could get plenty of dead flounders, but no live ones; had seen the .flounders put up their beads above the water, and if these was a bundle of weeds they would escape from the water upon it. Had seen two thousand pound weight of fish die in an hour; and when the wells were opened there was quite a stench, and oil on the top of the water. The last evidence we shall quote from, is that of Mr. G ildham. who had been yeoman at Billingsgate market for twenty-five years. He says be has known fifty thousand smelts brought daily to - Billingsgate, and three thousand salmon caught in the season in the Thames. He adds, THAT THEY ARE NOW ALL nEsTROYED, AND THIS FISHERY GONE ; and this he attributes til the tatrURE STATE or THE WATEN, FROM THE REFUSE OF THE GASWORKS, FROM ALL THE COMMON SEWERS RUNNING INTO ET, AND THE STEAM-BOATS CONSTANTLY STIRRING Ur THE FILTH.

SII , H IS THE TICTVREP—THE FAITHFUL AND „FRIGHT PICTURE—OF THE CONDITION OF THE WATER OF THE THAMES, AS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANIES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, most 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, fut an long a time, have been contented to have SEEN DAILY RUNNING INTO THEIR CISTERNS, AND TO HAVE USED, FOR ALL DOMESTIC AND .CULINARY PURPOSES, A NECESSARY 01 LIFE, SO LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF IMPURITIES AS TO BE PRONOUNCED, BY PROFESSIONAL MEN OF THE FIRST EMINENCE, TO BE OFFENSIVE 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 credited, but upon evidence unanswerable. THE RESULT OF THEIR LABOURS IS THE RECOMMEN DATION OF A GENERAL SYSTEM OF FILTEATIONA SYS TEM, f NOT LIMITED TO THE FIFTY-THREE THOUSA AND FAMILIES DAILY DRINKING THE FILTHY FLUID OF WHICH WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING, BUT EXTENDING ITSELF TO THE IiIIiNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX THOUSAND TENANTS OF THE NEW RIVER. AND OTHER f. OMPA NIES, CONSUMING THE TWENTY-NINE MILLIONS OF GALLONS DAILY SUP.. PLIED 113 THE METROPOLIS. Unfortunately, at -the moment when the Commissioners were drawing tip their -Report, the patent for " The Royal Filte for Cisterns" hail not passed through the to •;ous or deal of office, OR IT WILL NOT BE DOUBTED, AFTER READ ING Till FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS, THAT IT MUST HAVE FORMED AN IMPORTANT AND HIGHLY SATISFACTORY CON CLUSION THEIR LA BOU Ks.—The subjoined extract from arropectus, issued by the Propriethr, WILL BE PERUSED WITH Til E LIVELIEST INTEREST BY ALL WHO CONSIDER CLEANLINESS TO BE ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH, AND THE YURITE OP THE ELEMENT OF WHICH WE ARE. TREATING, TO BE NEARLY OF EQUAL ISIFORTA NCE WITH THE AIR WE BREATHE " The Royal Filter for Cisterns will be found superior to all filters hitherto invented, inasmuch as it not only . POSSESSES THE POWER OF CLARIFYING THE WATER IN A PRE-EMINENT DEGREE, ECT ALSO THAT OF COMPLETE PURIFICATION, RENDERING THE MOST TURBID, STAGNANT, AND FIETID WATER, OF A CRYSTALLINE BRILLIANCY, DEPRIVING IT OF EVERY NOXIOUS INGREVIENT, AND, IN FACT, PRODUCING NATURE'S NECTAR' IN. THE GIGHEST POSSIBLE PERFECTION; TIIAT IS TO SAY, CLEAR AND DESTITUTE OE TASTE AND SMELL." The rapidity of the process may be understood by a single observation, " THAT SO FAST AS THE WATER. IS SUPPLIED AP THE TOP OF THE CISTERN, SO FAST IT WILL DISCHARGE ITSELF PROM THE BOTTOM." " But where," the reader will naturally exclaitn, " 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 of water sent to him for analysation ; THE ONE FELL OF ALL SORTS OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE MATTERS IN A STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, AND STRONGLY IMPREGN %TED WITH GAS ; the other, 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 wells, superficial springs, or any other source, that is free from saline and ether 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 ill, 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 has been adopted to filter this specimen of Avecr to be most effectual, and lii:;hly deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, " the opinion 1 had formeti of this new process for filtering is folly confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH PURPOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS ANe OTHER IMPURITIES, BECAME ChYSTALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OY TASTE AND Thus it is clearly proved, THAT OF THE FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND ,A HALF OF SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY PLACED IN THE ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINS or SUBSTANCES rAsseo THROUGH IT ; AND WHICH SIX TEEN GRAINS ARE PROVED TO BE PECULIAR TO WATER IN ITs PRIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALP DELETERIOUS TO HEALTH. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners ilia) , apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to he 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, one of the three Commissioners ap pointed by the King, has had a portable Royal Filter, for the purpose of trying experiments on water in a si milar condition to that described by Mr. Hume; and he has stepped forward with his ready testimony to the sin gular merits of this discovery. " 1 have," he says, " tried its effect on very turbid water, and it appears to possess the two great desiderata of such contrivances, namely, To FILTER VERY PERFECTLY, AND VERY RAPIDLY." Mr. Brodie, the surgeon}, corroborates every thing that has been said in its favour. lie states, that having pto cured some of the foulest water his heuse affoided, and mixed with it a quantity of water impregnated with gas from coals, he poured it into the Royal Filter ; and it passed through it very rapidly, AND WAS DRAWN OFF IN A STATE OF SUCH PURITY", AND SO ENTIRELY FREE FROM THE ODOUR AND TASTE OF THE GAS, RS to be quite fit for being placed in a decanter on the table, to be drunk during dinner. Dr. Scudamore eays, he has made sufficient experimente with the Filtering Apparatus to satisfy his judgment of its efficacy in rendering the most turbid water quite clear and agreeable, both to the eye and to the taste, and con-_ eiders it a great improvement upon all other.. Mr. Thomas, the 'Pigeon, has hail a Royal Filter placed in his cistern, and ever sines the employment of it, has had the satisfaction to" find his house regularly and abundantly supplied with elm and w h o l esome wa t er . He considers that , the introduction of it generally into families will be found highly condncive to the improve ment of the health of the Metropolis, by effectually sato log the deleterious impurities which exist in the water in its present state, and which he thinks, of late year., has tended to augment the catairgue of .thoss anomalous disorder! arising out af a morbid derangement of stomach and the other organs subservient to the process of digestion. Mr. Kee* the surgeon, considers it .to be admirably adapted to the important purpose of 'unifying and clarify log water on a large'ecale, and that it would be a valuable appendage to every cistern. "It possesses," he says, " the great advantage of filtering all that is served into the castes n, so that no unfiltered water can be used for do mestic purposes ; and the water thus filtered is beautifully clear." Dr. Clarke, is a very kin , ' letter to Mr. Robins, speaks 1 / 4 ttn+ PRICE 7n. This day was published, post Bvo. 9s. 6d. T HE SIXTH VOLUME of the OR LANDO FURIOSO. Tianolated by WILLIAM STEWART ROSE. John Murray, Albemaile-street. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1828• of its efficacy, in terms quite as satisfactory as any o f t h e h a ned profession. It should he observed that the difficulty of g e tti ng pure water is very common in most of the large ton-us, and indeed throughout The provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is now removed. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering f rom 100 to 1,000 gallons every 21 hOurs, have been adapted to prevent the inconvenience alluded to. The expense is from 20s. to 41. or 51. _ _ We trust we hive said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly conducive to the cleanlinees, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thicklypeopled Metropolis: We shall only add that the apparatus relay be inspected at the Office of the Patentee, Mr. George Robins, 69, Strand, opposite the Adeiphi Theatre ; where the public are invited to have ovular de monstration of the efficacy of this remedy. THE SUBVERSION OF NEFARIOUS AND DEMORALIZING SYSTEMS. IN consequence of the intense excitation caused throughout the Metripoiis among those Merchants and Tr tilesmen who disapprove of, and oppose with scurrility and misrepresentations, the beneficial system of trade which Messrs. WAGNER and CHAPMAN have' felt a pride 'in adopting, hoping thereby, in a great measure, to subvert the banefnl effects of the " injurious and dernotalizing" practices which have been so notoriously prevalent fur a series of years in every branch of the trade and manufac tures of the United Kingdom, as to be, most lamentably, an actual degradation to the commetre of Great Britain and Ireland, they deem it indispensably necessary to con tinue to circulate Adv,rtisements containing a list of their numerous and excellent bargains, which only require in spection to insure considerable purchases from those to whom economy is the paramount consideration.

This case came helm e the Court on exceptions to the Master's report. A person nairwd Samuel Tiontbet'k, who had been bought tip in a .charity school at Wapping, and who after %winds ,became is mariner, - had been shipwrecked in the Ge9ite Last Wittman on the coast of Madras, and Was -Sup- P O, O by his friends to have been lust. It appeared, however,- that-lie survived, and fteetimidatetUa , very large property in India; the.whble•of which he left by his will for charitable purposes, declaring that he had not it relation in the world. Persona c'atin . ing ielationship to the deceased endeavoured to set aside the will, which, upon the• heating of the cause in 179,5, was declared to be invalid, so far as the charitable bequests were concerned, iltid it was re ferred to the Master to refo- i .t Wlli3 Was'the next of kits to the testator. • In 143j13 the: ,m it ter, re po r ted that they who claimed beite . felated testator had failed to make out their claim, anti that it did not appear that there was any next of kin. Upon this report, the property. appeared to fall to the Crown; but other claimants come in,' mu. - a second reference was made to the Master; •who, in 18V, reported that the new claimants had also failed to make out relationship to the testator. The cause now sate before the Court on exceptions to tins report. Mr.BICKEFISTETH (with whom were Mt. STARKIE and Mr. KNIGHT) said, that the exceptions to the report were founded on the Master's refusal to.ad mit as evidence, a narrative of the Troutbeck drawn up by John Troutbeck. Without this narra tive the pedigree could net be made out. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL insisted that no depen dence could be placed on this narrative, which had been proved incorrect in the most essential point. The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought this document ought not to be received, and that if it was, it would not be evidence. He thought, therefore, that the Master was quite right. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. DOLBELL V. WALSH. This was an action brought. by the plaintiff, who is an officer in the army, to recover from the defend ant the sum of 401., which be had obtained under the following circumstances The plaintiff has been for some time on half-pay, and being desirous of obtaining au appointment at full pay, as puymaste►• of a regiment, he applied to the defendant to procure one for him. It happened that about this period some differences existed between the plaintiff and his wife, and they were living separate. TIIP defendant wrote to the wife for money, having previously said that he could procure the appointment to the 93d or 97th - regiment- In answer to his letter he received 40/., and not hay. i tigeucceeded in procuring the appointment, the plain tiff, who has been since then reconciled to 11;s wife, applied to have the money restored, but not getting it, he was obliged to bring the present action. Sonic witnesses were called, -and it appeared that this money was paid out of the money which the wife• had settled ,upon her by her father at her mar riage, over which the husband had no cont►oul. When this fact came out, Lord TENTERDEN said that the action could not be maintained in the name of the husband, and a nonsuit was aLeutdingly entered. It should, however, be mentioned, that one of the witnesses deposed that the defendant had said he would repay the money upon receiving a.proper order from the plaintiff's wife.

I shall only mention Cailtan Mammone, who from being a miller became a General-in-Chief of the in surrection of Sara. This monster, the moat horrible, perhaps, the world has ever seen, in the short space of two months, and in a limited extent of territory, ordered 350 persons to be shot, whilst his satellites murdered at least double the number. There was no end to the destruction he caused by pillage, rape, and fire. His prisons were a scene of horrors ; he invented new modes of tot tore, and revived the forgotten, cruelties of Psocrustes and Alaxen tins. His thirst for Inman blood was so insatiable, that he drank it as it trickled from the wounds of his murdered victims, and I who am note writing (says Cuoco), I myself have seen him drink his own blood them an opened vein, and ask eagerly for the blood of the sick. His dinnek table was furnished with a human bead, still reeking with blood : and he drank out of a human skull. Such was the brutal monster whom Ferdinand addressed by the title of General and Friend." In vols. post Bvo. Sls. 6d. TALES ofthe GREAT ST. BERNARD.
