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, for so long a time, have been CoilteNted to hare SEEN DAILY RUNNING INTO THEIR. ,CISTERNS, AND TO HAVE USED, FOX ALL DOMESTIC AND CULINARY PURPOSES, A NECESSARY OF LIFE, tin LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF IMPURITIES AS TO . BE PRONOUNCED, BY PAOFESSIONAL DIEN OF THE FIRST EMINENCE, TO BE OFFENSIVE TO THE SIGHT, disgusting to the imagination, and destructive to the health, is a tact that would not have been credited, and that ought not to have been credited, but upon evidence unanswerable. THE RESULT OP THEIR LABOURS IS THE RHOOMMEN DATION OF A GENERAL SYSTEM OF FILTRATION-.-A STS- TEM, ROT. LIMITED TO VIE. FIFTY-TMELEE TDOIISAIKD rAmiuss, DAILY DRINKING THE FILTHY FLUID OF WHICH WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING,' BUT EXTENDING ITBELF-TV THE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX THOUSAND TENANTS OF THE NEW RIVER AND OTHER, COMPANIES, CONTSUMLNG THE TWE-ICTT-NINE MILLIONS OP GALLONS DAILY SUP PLIED TO THE METROPOLIS. Unfortunately, at the moment when the Commissioners were drawing up their Report, the patent for " The Royal Filter for Cisterns" had not passed through the tedious or deal of office, OR IT WILL NOT BE DOt•BTICD, AFTER READ ING THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS, THAT IT MUST HAVE roktiEn AN IMPOETANT AND HIGHLY SATI'SFACTORY CON.. CLUSION TO THEIR LABOURS.-The subjoined extract from aFrospeetus, issued by the Proprietor, WILL BE PERUSED WITH THE LIVELIEST INTEREST BY ALL WHO CONSIDER CLZANLINE4S TO BE E66PNTIAL TO HEALTH, AND THE PURITY OF TUE ELEMENT OF NVIIICH WE ARE TREATING, TO BR NEARLY Of EQUAL IMPORTANCE WITH THE AIR WE BREATNE :- " The Royal Filter for Cisterns will be found superior to all filters hitherto invented, inasmuch as it not wily POSSESSES THE PGIVEIL OF CLAR/FTING THE WATER. IN A PRE-EMINENT DEGREE, BUT ALSO THAT or COIIrLETE PURIFICATION, RENDERING THE MOST TURBID, STAGNANT, AND PIiTID WATER, OF A CRYSTALLINE BRILLIANCY, naciivn.ra IT 01 EVERY NOXIOUS INGREDIENT, AND, IN PACT, PRODUCING NATURE'S NECTAR' IN THE 151(IHAST rossIBLE PERFECTION ; THAT AS TO SAY, CLEAR ABB DESTITUTE OE TASTE AND SMELL." The rapidity of the proeees may be understood by a single observation, " THAT SO FAST AS ME WATER IS surri,l6D AT THE TOP OP THE CISTERN, SO FAST IT WILL DISCHARGE ITSELF FROM THE BOTTOM." " But where," the reader will naturally exclaim, " 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 miters, had two bottles sent to him for analysation; THE ONE TOLL OF ALL SORTS OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE MATTERS IN A STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, AND STRONGLY IMPREGNATED WITH GAS ; the other, a 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 heal t h. " In the filtered bottle he found only sixteen grains of substances, which, on examination, proved to he the same materials peculiar to, and soluble in, 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, seine corbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car bonic acid gas. Mr. Hume eencludes 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 water to be most effectual, and hi Jhly deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, " the opinion I hasl formed of this new process for filtering is fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH ruRrOtrELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS AN, OTHER IMPURITIES, BECAME CRYSTALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OP TASTE AND SMEI,L, Thus h ie dearly proved, THAT OF TILE FORTY-91K GRAINS AND A HALF OF SOIJI) MATTER ORIGINALLY PLACED IN THE ROYAL FATER, ONLY SIXTEEN GRAINS OP SUBSTANCES PASSED THROUGH I? ; AND ITHIGH TEEM GRAINS AUE PROVED TO BE rECULIAR, iO 'WATER. IN MI PRIMITIVE STATH, AND NOT AT ALI DISLETHRIOUS TO HEALTH. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be regretted that, beforo 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 Mande, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keats, Dr. Seadamore, and JO other highly eminent and unpre judioed medical men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the moat turbid, fcetid water of chrystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in meet of the large towns, and indeed throughout the provinew. The difficulty or necessity of pla.oing a Filter at this distance is non• removed. 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 expellee is from BOa. to 41. or 51. We trust we have said enongh to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly coeaduoive 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 pnblia are invited to have ocular do monitration of the et - limey of this remedy. IN the niornitig of Life, when the blandish moots of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of deceptive pleaturre, the unhappy traitor against the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of bis mental as well as bodily powers. To all persons so circumstanced as to require the professional aid of men of experience, whose time has been for twenty years studiously and suc cessfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous debility, whether natural or accpri:•ed, GOSS and CO. proffer the most consolatory assurances. The youth who has enervated his frame by the strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of felly will ten readily comprehend without further description, may find relief from his misery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost place in the scale of creation. The sufferer who, from another extreme of in dulgence, has with unbashful forehead, wooed debility, may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con stitution. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Loot Venevea, however aggravated by malpractice of She qua, or the concealment from diffidence, may find a certain restoration ; and finally in cases where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to dt.spoir, they offer to the married female those hopes which she can reasonably appreciate. Remedies can be forwarded to any pert of the world; Patients writing for then same, will please to enclose a Book Note. Attendance at home for consultation as usual. GOSS aced CO., M. It. C.

LOVE LETTER. —There was on Wednesday pnt into the post-office, Cnpar, a letter, directed to a young lady in the west country, on which was written the fol lowing whimsical notice to post-masters :—" This letter, containing as it does a great deal of love, together with sundry other matters of much importance, must be taken great care of, and delivered as early as possible !" Don Quixotte himself could scarcely have been more minute, and the faithful Sancho Panza would undoubtedly have proved a less tt ust-worthy messenger than the mail._. Fife Herald. DEATH.—Death itself appears but an event, glorious when sudden, and not preceded by decline; but that death which comes without having been sought by courage—that death of darkness which steals front .yon in the night all that you hold most dear —which despises your Lamentations and repulses your embrace, and pitilessly op pose to you the eternal laws of nature and of time —such a death inspires a contempt for human destiny, for the im potence of grief, for all those vain efforts that dash and break themselves upon the rock of necessity.—Korner. HUMOROUS ANECDOTE OF A CORPULENT PATIEN - T.—This gentleman was not only amiable but very rich and very polite—excepting when "his skin pinched him," a terns he always used when oppressed by uncom fortable sensations. One day, " when he was sure he would burst," with a long face and gloomy looks, he thus addressed me Lord, sir ! I'm very- queer—very poorly—always poorly—l've no stomach," said he, looking me full in the face; "now I want to know about diet--what should I eat?" "Nothing." " What should I drink ?" "No thing."

The career of Admiral Grenfell in the service of the Emperor of Brazil has been most extraordinary, whether it be considered In relation to the singus lady early period of life at which this gallant young officer has arrived at the highest honours of his pros fession, or the peculiar circumstances under . which he embarked in the South Anierican service. in the year 1819, Admiral, then Mr. Grenfell, em barked at Liverpool for South America, furnished with letters of introduction to Lord Cochrane, at that time Commander-in-Chief of the Chilian Nary. Having joined Lord Cochrane, Mr. Grenfell was immediately taken into, and made first Lieutenant of his own ship, and remained with his Lordship during the whole period of his command in 'South America, having shared in all these glorious enter prises and actions in which Lord Cochrane so eminently distinguished himself. In the cutting out the Spanish frigate, the Emerald, from a tremendous masked battery, Mr. Grenfell's con duct was marked by the most distinguished gallantry ; and on this, as well as on every other oc casion in which he was employed, received the highest testimonials of Lord Cochrane's approbation and admiration of his gallant and meritorious con duct. Upon. Lord Cochrane quitting the Chilian service, and entering into the service of the Emperor of the Brazils, Mr. Grenfell accompanied his gallant Commander in tile transfer of his services to Don Pedro. When Lord Cochrane left the Brazilian service to co-operate with the Greeks in the organi zation and discipline of their marine, Mr. Grenfell, although particularly pressed by Lord Cochrane to join him, declined the offer, preferring to remain in the Brazilian navy. The result has proved that he was right, as his course has been marked, not less by brilliancy in action than by a correctness of judg ment hardly to be expected from so young a man. Of his clearness of judgment, coupled with decision of character, he gave th e most conv i nc i ng proofs, by the effectual manner in which he quelled a rising insurrection at Para. On this occasion, his prompt and energetic conduct received the warmest approba tioa of the Emperor Don Pedro. In July, 1.826, Captain Grenfell fought an engagement with a squadron of the Buenos Ayres navy, and with an inferior force eaptured or put hors de combat every ship of the enemy. It was on this occasion that he lost hi, right arm, and on the information reaching the Emperor, his Imperial Majesty p a id C apta i n Ganda the high compliment of writing an auto graph letter to him, in the most flattering terms, at the same tune sending him the insignia (consisting of the riband and star) of one of his orders—an honour enhanced by the fact of no officer of his rank ever having been invested with this order before. As a compensation for the loss of his arm, the Em peror settled a pension of 3004 a year on him, and promised• Captain Grenfell the command of a new frigate which was then on the stocks. Shortly after the loss of his arm, Captain Grenfell obtained twelve months' leave of absence, to revisit his family in England, whom he had not seen for eight years; at the expiration of which period he returned to the Brazils, and the Emperor has very recently, in fur ther acknowledgement of his gallant services, pro moted him to the rank of Admiral. Admiral Gren fell is at this moment not more than thirty years of age; perhaps almost the only instance of so young a man rising to the highest rank in his profession. Admiral Grenfell is the nephew of Mr. Pascoe Gren fell, who was Member for Penryn in the last session of Pulliam ent. GERMAN PAPERS. The Vienna Court Gazette contain 3 the following article :—A prospectus has been issued in London, by a M. Magnus Klein, for an Austrian Steam Na vigation Company, on the Elbe and the Mo and which appealing to the special licence of the Austrian Government, and the patronage of the chief ministers and the most distinguished indivi duals among the nobility and merchants, in vites the public to join in these pinks. As both English and other foreign Journals hare men tioned the patent granted to M. Klein for the navigation of the Elbe by steam-boats in the Austrian States, it is necessary to make known the real state of the connection of Mr. K. with re spect to Austria. Mr. K., fOrmerly a merchant in Berlin, formed last year a plan for the introduction of steam-boats on the Elbe, with which the navigation of the Moldau was to be connected, and came in the spring of this year with this plan to Pragae, and thence proceeded with good testimonials to Vienna. These testimonials and the nature of the plan, which was undoubtedly calculated to excite the atten tion of patriotic individuals, procured M. K. access to many distinguished persons in the capital, who had the less hesitation in in ' scribing their names in the book which he pro duced, for the purpose, as " honorary members" of a joint stock company, to be formed with this view, as he had already obtained from the finance depart ment the conditional assurance, that if he should succeed in obtaining from the Governments of the States on the banks of the Elbe patents for the e n u a r v i i i g l t g i theott f o u f ra thaivt s q r e uis i r t e b f y o for t s e u a c m h -b a n oa e t s nt e a r T p 'd r i e in , s h e ; should also have a patent in the Austrian states. The actual f - ;rmation of a company, and a conse quent obligation of the persons whose names were set down, as well as the legal grant of a patent, which was only conditionally promised, was for the present out of the question, and M. Klein has the less ground to appeal to them, as certain information has been received that the Prus sian Government, which is better acquainted with his affairs, is by no means disposed to grant him the patent desired for the Prussian part of the Elb' Persons, therefore, to whom the names subscril in the manner above stated may be cemmunicp will therefore do well to remember that thr cs 40 32 ..136 -133 -146 -133 .1?,7 66 not to be considered as proofs of any erlgl 3 g entered into by the individuals so subscriber ~,,g :7711t:burrailliestd, , n . re , by t A b i e l i G le rl y.
