FEAVEWS INFALLIBLE EMBROCA _ TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c. Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by .Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle":— Ss As lam sure you will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night, the 31st of Al ay last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I war recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehou,eman, Friday -street, Cheapsccle, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his fa'her, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, fir which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to m y delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain in two days I could wa lk, an d at t h e end of one week gout had entirely left me. I ha ve no d ou b t b ut for this rem edy I should have had at least six weeks of su ff er i ng, as 1 h a d in former attacks. the gout I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for w hi c h, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know where to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Raver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit lie had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I rt solved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thorsands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in eve r y poss ibl e way ; a nd I consider, by inserti ng thi s in your colum ns , you w ill h e doing a much greater good th an ' usually results f rom who l e pages of matter contained in so me of our daily jou rna l s.

Once on a time there was a certain ancient vender of fish who was in the habit of tramping from place to place, carrying his merchandise on an ass with a couple of panniers, into one of which the old codger used to pack his fish, while in the other, by way of counterpoise he would stow an equal weight of stones. One day, a neighbour, who had some brains in his head, remon strated with our itinerant hawker of marine merchandise on the absurdity of his conduct, and endeavoured to prove to him that it would be much better to put fish into both panniers and dispense with the stones alto gether, as his ass would then be able to carry twice the quantity of fish, or the same quantity with twice the case. The fishmonger, who was a great stickler for good old customs, and had a profound veneration for the windom of our ancestors, either could not or would not comprehend the logic of his reforming neighbour, and told him that his plan might do for any thing he knew, but that his father and grandfather used to carry fish in one pannier and stones in the other, and he was determined to do the same as long as he live", as he hated all new-fangled notions as he hated the devil. We have often been reminded of this story, on wit nessing the dogged obstinacy and infatuation with which people are apt to cling to old and absurd usages, and to resist the adoption of simpler and more effectua methods of accomplishing their purpose. The effect of iron rails, or of stone ways, in reducing the friction of carriage wheals, has been known for half a century, probably much longer ; and yet even on long lines of road, where there is a dead level, carriages continue to " drag their slow length along," at the rate of five or six miles an hour, when, by the simple application of rails, they might with equal ease double the speed with four times the load. Since the vast advantage of rails has been so triumphantly proved on that admirable line of road between Liverpool and Manchester, one would have thought that rails would long since have been laid down on common roads wherever the line was adapted for the purpose, and yet we are not aware that there is a single turnpike, or other road, on which the experiment has been made. Can it be possible that at this time of day men who have an interest in turnpike roads are ignorant of the wonderful advantage in power and speed ►whirls a horse derives from travelling over a road where iron or stone tracks are laid down ? In the Library of Useful linowledge there is a sepa rate treatise on the subject of the horse, in which it is stated that, on a railway, the animal will draw a load ten times heavier than what he can move on a common road ; and in the Sporting Anecdotes an instance of the power of draught on the rail is recorded which is so re markable that we shall here transcribe it entire. " An unparalleled instance of the power of a horse, when assisted by art, was shown near Croydon. The Surrey iron railway being completed, and opened for the carriage of goods all the way from Wandsworth to Mertsham, a bet was made between two gentlemen, that a common horse could draw thirty-six toes for six miles along the road, and that he should draw his weight Irom a dead pull, as well as turn it round the occasional windings of the road. A number of gen tletrme❑ assembled near Mertsham to see this extra ordinary triumph of art. Twelve waggons loaded with stones, each waggon weighing above three tons, were chained together, and a horse taken promis cuously from the timber-cart of Mr. Harwood, was yoked into the team. He started from near the Fox public-house, and drew the immense chain of waggons with apparent ease to near the turnpike at Croydon, a distance of six miles, in one hour and forty-one minutes, which is nearly at the rate of four miles an hour. In the course of this time he stopped four times, to show that it was not by the impetus of the descent that the power was acquired ; and after each stoppage, he drew off the chain of waggons from a dead stop. Having gained his wager, Mr. Banks, the gentleman who laid the bet, directed four more loaded waggons to be added to the cavalcade, with which the same horse again set off with undiminished power ; and still further to show the effect of the railway in facilitating motion, he directed the at tending workmen, to the number of about fifty, to mount on the waggons, and the horse proceeded, with out the least distress, and, in truth, there appeared to be scarcely any limitation to the power of his draught. After the trial, the waggons were taken to the weighing machines, and it appeared that the whole weight stood as follows : Tons. Cwt.

It is not our inten tion to offer any opinion as to the accuracy of our corre spondent's calculations, respecting which our readers may form their own conclusions. He seems very con fident in the correctness of his data, and in the practica bility of his scheme, but no doubt many persons, less sanguine than the projector, will be of opinion that he has not a little overrated its advantage and probable profits, whilst he has underrated the expenses with which its wear and tear would be accompanied. They will, moreover, be apt to think that he has exaggerated the inconveniences of steam loco. motive travelling, whilst he has kept out of sight its im• moose advantages in power and speed, which will neces sarily secure for that mode of conveyance a decided pre ference over horse-power. There is, however, ample scope in the country for steam-carriages and for such conveyance as that suggested by our correspondent ; and, so far from regarding them as rivals, our opinion is, that both may work together for the public con venience, and afford ample remuneration to the respec tive proprietors. Some of our readers may think it strange that, in treating of the subject of railways on turnpikes and common roads, we should have made no allusion to any of the numerous projects for the introduction of steam carriages on such roads. Our reason for the omission is our thorough and long-entertained conviction that loco motive steam-carriages, without guiding rails, will never succeed, as they will necessarily be attended with the most imminent peril to passengers and to the public. We have often avowed this opinion, and we have seen no reason to change it. . Such carriages would require the most unremitting care and aq?ntion on the part of the director, as the most momentary neglect on his part might prove fatal, as the carriage, if moving at a considerable rate, would be off the road in the twinkling of an eye. Locomotive carriages on railways are admirable contrivances, but without rails they would, in our opinion, be attended with the most disastrous and latcl consequences ; and truly sorry are we that we can arrive at no other con clusion, as we shoal be delighted with the substitution of stead and iron for the muscles and sinews of that noble and much abused animal, tho horse.—Liverpobl Mercury. ANOTHER FEMALE IN DISGUISE. On the morning of Sunday last, about four o'clock, as po• lice-constable Flwer, 'l' 42, was on duty in the .New-road, Hammersmith, he heard a noise in one of a row of unfinished houses on the side of the road, as if some person was asleep therein. On entering the building he discovered in the base ment, concealed up in a corner, what lie took to be a boy, ap. parently about twelve years of age, dressed i n a c l oth jacket and corduroy trousers. By his side was a bundl e , t i ed up in a large towel, which he said was his own p roperty. Ilis an swers to the questions put to him by the constable ben).- eva sive and unsatisfactory, he was conveyed t o th e station-house b ' i filled g inspector, withb u whotter, a found knife, therein tw o p pair rqouf sw ar te c r n: i l n o g a s f : a mSergeant Kelly., where his bundle w as exam i ned b yt . Kel Sr t, l y i , nnearly theeaarley acting two towels, a bottle filled with water, and, - on searching his clothes, one penny only was f ound in his possession. Sergeant Kelly then asked him his name, when he said it was Joseph Taylor, that he wa s thi rteen years' of age, and resided with his mother at No. 8, Thomas -street, Grosvenor-square. In the course of Sergeant Kelly's inquiries he noticed that the boy's hair had been recently cut, that his features were handsome, and that in figure he much more resembled a girl than a boy, and, on telling him his suspicion, he acknowledged that he was right as respected his sex, anti that his Christian name, in'tead of being Joseph Taylor, was Phillis Taylor. She also stated that she had four brothers and sisters, and that her object in adopting the disguise was to walk to the residence of her uncle in Sussex. She left her home between three and four o'clock in the afternoon ; but the rain commencing when she had reached Hammersmith she went into the new; build ing for shelter. Sergeant Kelly immediately communi cated the circumstance to Inspector Morgan, who sent her home to her mother by police constable Earthy, T 103. On reaching Thomas-street, he found she resided as she had stated, and her mother, who had been distracted at her absence, in formed the policeman that the clothes she had on belonged to her brother. The girl in question was her eldest child, and on Saturday, having to go out to work, she left her at home to take care of th e o th er c hild ren , an d it ap p ea red that, having got her brothers and sisters out of the way, she went to the baker's and got th e l oa f f oun d on her in her mother's name, and then went to a hairdresser's shop close by, to whom.she offered to give her hair, which was remarkably line, if he would cut it short. The man accepted her offer, and it having bee n cut she returned home, disguised herself in her brother's clothes, and started off on her journey. On the policeman ask ing the mother the reason of herdoing soshe replied that, being a remarkably intelligent child, a neighbour frequently lent her novels to read, and also she had read the case of " Romance in Real Life" which appeared in the papers a few days since, which seemed greatly to interest her, and she supposed had induced her to undertake a similar adventure.

SPANISH GIPSY WEDDlNG.—Throughout the day there was nothing going on but singing, drinking, feast ing, and dancing ; but the most singular part of the festival was reserved for the dark night. Nearly a ton weight of sweetmeats had been prepared, at an enormous expense, not for the gratification of the pa late, but for a purpose purely gipsy. These sweetmeat., of all kinds and of all forms, but principally yemas, or yolks of eggs prepared with a crust of sugar (a delicious bonne bouche), were strewn on the floor of a large room at least to the depth of three inches. Into this room, at a given signal, tripped the bride and bridegroom, dancing ro molls, followed amain by all the Gitanos and Gitanas danc iny ramalis. To convey a slight idea of the scene is almost beyond the power of words. In a faw minutes the sweet meats were reduced to a powder, or rather to a mud, and the dancers were soiled to the knees, with sugar, fruits, and yolks of eggs. Still more terrificbecame the lunatic mer riment. The men sprang high into the air, neighed, brayed, and crowed ; whilst the Gitanas snapped their fingers in their own fashion, louder than castanets, disto rting their forms into all kinds of obscene attitudes, and uttering words to repeat which were an abomination. In a corner of the apartment capered the while Sebastianilla, a convict gips), from Melilla, strumming the guitar most furiously, and producing demoniacal sounds which had some resemblance to Malbrun ( Malbrook), and as he strummed, repeating at intervals the gipsy modification of the:song.-111r. Borrows' Account of the Gipsies of Spain. THE GENTLEMANLY TORIES.—Sir Thomas Gooch said at Beceles—" If he bad his wish, Mr. O'Con nell would have been banged long ago. It might be thought an uncharitable wish, but it came from the bottom of his heert. What a happy thing it wool,' be to see O'Connell, and many more like him, dancing upon no thing." Was political strife ever disgraced by a greater display of coarse malignity ? And this proceeded from no ignorant ill-educated working man. It was uttered by no needy person, whose temper the world's cold scorn bad soured. The deliberate desire to persecute to the death a political opponent was avowed, aye, and the avowal gloried in, by one of England's wealthy 'Squires, one of those who claim for themselves exclusively, the virtue, integrity, and intelligence of the nation I Electors of East Suffolk, let no such men b e trusted. The same speaker also, l e t ou t the mod e by w hi c h his party hope to succeed, when h e sa id, " It was vory proper that gentlemen of property, if they chose to spend their money to obtain any political object, they should have their due weight ; he did not see how that sort of influence was detrimental to the country." —lpswich Express.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the co dinary practitioner. To ent e r into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 14," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable seerr may be relied en. , //•2- EVENING EDITION THE MUTISI- 1 1 NAVY. The Journal des Desals of Setuaity contains an ar. tiele on the present connifon of the British Navy, which is not without interest. Aft,T e r, referring to the outcry raised some months back in England, on the wretched state into which the Mnistry had allowed the navy to tall, our Contemportry remarks that, for some time ,these reproaches have c ased,, and that no attack was made lately on this subject when the Navy Esti mates were voted. The Debals then proceeds, in the following terms, to assign• the reason of this forbear ance on the part o f th e press an d t h e O ppos i t i on Mem bers : " Since September last the navy arsenals of Great Britain have displayed an activity and an immensity of resources of every kind which arc really prodigious. Mitch has been boasted in history of that act of the_ Ye netims, which, in order to prove to Henry 111. of Franca of what exertions they were capable, co ns i ste d in buntline, fitting up, and arming a galley during the day on which he visited their arsenal ; but the exer tions and resources displayed by the English are cer tainly not less remarkable. In the beginning of S ep _ tember, 18W, England had 27 vessels of the line in a manner, though ineffieiently, commissioned. Of' these, 15 were in the Mediterranean under Admiral Stopford, 3 were and are still on the Indian stat;on, 4 were in the English ports, waiting to be called on to sell, having all their stores on board, hut without 'Aieir full compleineet of men, and 5 were and are in port, serving as depets, schools for rased gunnery, &c. At the end of March, 1841, England had 34 vessels in commission. The fleet in the Mediterranean, which had sent home 2 vessels, and had received a reinforcement of 4, of which 2 were three-de.!keys, now consists of 17 vessels of the line. Nothing had been changed in the number of the Indian squadron, nor in the vessels which serve as depo•s at home, but the number of vessels held ready for sea has been increased by 9, of which 4 aro are three-deckers. Besides, England has increased her frigates, which in September were only 3, to the num ber of 10. Thus, in the short space of seven months, the English Admiralty has armed 9 vessels of the line and 7 large frigates of 50 guns each. The crews df some of these vessels alone remain incomplete through motives of economy ; and what is not less astonishing is, that all th ese vas t ex p enses cou ld have been incurred without the aid of supplementary credits, by simply employing the usual resources granted for the navy. Nor is this all. This marvellous activity has not hin dered a number of light vessels or steam-boats from being nreeed and fitted out. A line of steam-vessels to touch at Canada and the United States has been or ganised since last autumn, to communicate with South America and the Gulf of Mcxice, and will soon be in full activity. The construction of the vessels already commenced has also been urged on with extraordinary vigour. For instance, in the ;'ard where the Royal George was letnichsd in October last, may now be seen the Aboukir, of 90 guns, on the stocks, with her com pass timbers already laid down. At Devonport, a large steam•boat, of 500-horse power, which was commenced on October last, has just been launched, and it is an nounced that four other vessels of equal power are to speedily follow her. Whlt the royal ravy of England has been giving such marks cf activity, tl.e merchant service has signalised herself by enterprises which de serve attention. She has definitively arrange': her steam navigation with the Pacific Ocean, and is com pleting the communication between England and her Asiatic possessions. A line of steam-boats of 450 horse-power is established between Alexandria and the English port=, and one of the directors of this plan, Mr. Anderson, is at present in Egypt, making arrangements for a regular line of steam-boats on the Nile, which are to go up as far as 'Chace, and which will allow the Bombay couriers to stop at Kosseir. Travellers will gain by this route the advanthee of a more agreeable journey, and the navigation of the Red Sea will be shortened by halt. In addition, in place of bringing news from Bombay only, the monthly courier from In dia will take his departure from Calcutta, and will touch at Madras, Ceylon, and Bombay. And to conclude this account, a new attempt is made to shorten the direct passage to India by doubling the Cape of Good Hope. On this very day, April 27, is to sail from Gravesend, for Calcutta, the Maria, of five hundred tons, construc ted with sails as for general navigation, and with Mel ville's patent steam apparatus, capable of being taken o and put on at pleasure. This vessel is to try the effect of steam-power in making way through those calms so common under the line, and which prolong so tediously the passage between Europe and India." c/je&_ CITY IM MOVEMENTS. Several . letters having appeared in print drawing atten tion to the ,nhject, much notice has been taken in the city of the intrus:on of the plan upon which the Sun Fire-office i., proposed to bo built upon the general design laid down for the public improvements in that quarter of the, City, and which appears the more unaccount able the more it is inquired into. The improvement of Bartholomew-lane, winch the Sun Fire-office seems determined to render of as li , tie value as possible, was designed as early as the year 1800, when a Hill was passed for taking away the swops at the nor: e- of Threadie edle street, aed making a road through the tower of the church. This project would have been carried into effect bad not the Act male it dependent on the consent of Bishop Porteus, whose name namentioned, and had not that Prelate died before his consent could be ob tained. It seems that had the Act mentioned the " shop el London" generally, the improvement then pro jected would have leen carried out long age. The Act authorising this project was granted to the Baek of England, and consequently, when the Royal Exchange was burned down, the Cay Corporation, after obtain ing their own Act, sought to induce the Bank of Eng land to carry out that pert of the' undertaking that re lated to the improvements in Bartholomew-lane. It should be observed that the Act granted to the Corporation pro.. tided that the Church should be p ufled down irltnge thcr. According to the plan, of the improvement which the Corporation arranged with the Treasury, and which was, it scenic, signed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and deposited in the Town-Clerk's office, a line was to he drawn from the north-west corner of Messrs. Grote's bank ing-house to the south-west corner of the Bank of England, and this plan being so arranged, the Bank undertook this part of the improvement. The Sun Fire-office occupies a lerge pat tof Bank-buildings, which are to be pulled down to make an area in front of the new Ex change, where, it is said, the statue cf . the Duke of Wel lington is to stand, and the Company, for the site of their new office, have relect.: d part of the inc of the church, intending thus to occupy the corner. The Bank of England, which had undertaken the improvements in Bartholomew-lane, transferred that undertaking to the Sun-office, who commenced operations accordingly, and had rcareely begun, when the Exchange Committee were informed that the south part of the new office would project ti feet beyond the proposed line, in contravention of every understanding on the subject. The Exchange Committee, alarmed at this, at once sent a notice to the Bank of England, and also to the Sun, of the encroach. meat that the latter were making ; but the Sun, far from retarding their proceeding, pursued their work, it is said, with increased activity, and it may now be observed, that the wall which stands on the questionable aide has been run up higher than the others. The Chairman of the Exchange Committee attended a meeting of the Governor of the Bank and the Governor of t h e Sun Fire-office, at which, after aerie discussion, an appeal to the Chancellor of the Exchequer was pro. pored. A meeting with the Chancello r o f t h e Exchequer took place on Saturday, and on this occasion Sir Robert Smirke's opinion was produced, that t h e improvements would be greatly disfigured by the projecti on o f t h e S un Fire-office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed his regret that he had no legal power to interfere, and pre posed a reference cf the question to the Board of Works, which the Bank said they would consider. This is the pre sent state of the case, as far as we can learn front inquiries made on the subject. These particulars only place in a still worse light than before the conduct of the parties concerned in this Vandal.. like aggression upon good taste and propriety. So little clue is there to this matter, that people are driven to the supposition that it may have arisen out of a spirit c f rivalry between two architects who have lately maintained too eager a contest to be very good friends towards each other. We, are far, however, from entertaining any such belief, and must wait till some one better informed can enlighten the p u blic. What renders the case peculiarly anomalous is, that at the very tine the City is threatened with this or igureniert in one ut the greatest public undertakings, they are expending money for the removal of the Fre nc h Church, because in its present situation it has an unsightly highly projection, which is of far less consequence than the one the Sue-office. Whatever the . motives of contemplated by may be, one thing seems certain, n ame l y, ; th that duty, could not that the t C h ( e n e 'l e ia n i d l uct of the Bank of England hasbceii ret:reliensible in this affair. They were intrusted with the per utile - Exchange Corn ievnheeen o t h t . e a y g i r n e t a r t u s i t i e u d bl t i l c ie d m ut tc y i mittee, f have had a notion that any but themselves were to perform it ; and yet, no sooner is the authority in their hands than they transfer it to the Company, who have abused it. This conduct of the Bank of England cannot be characterized other., i3e than as a gross dereliction o f a public duty.-- Times.
