IHE Season of the Year is approaching when the publie will have additnal reason to congratulate Vann/Kiln"; upon this importnnt and national invention. So Many attempts have been made to mislead thegood folks of the Metropolis, by pretending to mire the crying evil of bad miter, without the least pretension, that we were amongst the many who remained sceptics:o as to the pretensions of the Royal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular demonstra tion by leaving one fixed op in a large cistern, and we have now no sort of hesitation in pronounning it QCTTE CON jpi,viE, and in giving it onn ri Q uALIVIPID The names of the highest profeinional talent in the Metro poiin bare given the strotigeet teetimony, that they may be ooneiciernd, in the metropolitan pity of London as an ab i4lnse .‘ God-eend," but we will illustrate their opinions by ettibborn foots and proofs as strong as lioly Writ; and (wet kt Ise cuarnine the ittnte of the water, as now drank 4 silo gumeargi end ten thousand persons who have not yet availed themselves of this Filter, and our readers will bear in mind, thist this evidence is supplied from evidence giresi leitHeitenn in the arttrisrt 110USX OT PAIILIAMUNT. The cellowing eminent and learned men in their voca tions leave given evidence, of which the following is ne cessarily a short extract, viz. Sir Henry Milford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr. raonsne, Dr. Turner, Dre. Hums, Yates, Kerrison, Somer ville, Johnson, and Paris, &a. &a..—they prononnce the wa ter weft into their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated d,, y d ceqetable matters, end other substances pre judicial to health ; that such naatters in the stomach greatly contribute to the production of that state of FAULTY DI- Guirrtux and anICURITT Of ILOOD; that it is so FILTHY and isiroux, as to be unfit for the breakfast table land f or culinary N apalms, and that it vide so much to the other snwheleeoinit conatittients of broad, as to render . every meal injurious to the health of thonsande ; that the water sent into the oieterne during the hot weather frequently Newton cm - rre rinsm; and they hare no doubt that the continued om. of it wiernour FILTERING is capable of pro (lacing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ec tte-mely bad, foul, dirty, and unwholesome, from the great quantity al FILTItY MATTERS cONTINIJALLY FJUR n,G INTO IT FROM NUMEROUS SEwERS ; and Dr. KM . - ri,on makes ns acquainted with a fact, the petui.al of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, :as we ouiseleiss feel in narrating it. On in specting the Thainm near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, lie sum " the foul and black stream from the litmelagh sewer, parsing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, LOADED W 17141 NO SMALL FoRTION OF UNDI viDND FLOATING FILTH FROM ratems;" from which he concludes, that " A CONS4DERAELE QUANTITY OF DUMAN I.:T:BEMENT, IK A SUEnirIDED AND UNDEcOMTOSBEI STATE, ACTUALLY PASSIts INTO OUR CISTERNS." Dr. Somerville, the pilvtirian to Chelsea Hospital, states the crater to be very impure. " The tide," he eays, " . ..STIRS UP THE MASS Or IMPURITY FRODUCBD BY ALL THAT IS CORRUPTIBLE IN THE ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE WORLD, TOGETHER WITH - THE Nomors FILTH CV GAS AND ()THEE MANUFACTORIES, TKAT CONVTANTLY ILOW INTO THE THAMES FROM BATTERSEA DQWN TO GRAVEREND..'

The last professional gentleman to whose evidence we shall refer, is Dr. Paris, the anther of the popular work on Diet. He pronounces the water to be impure and offensive, and says that it stinks shortly after it has come in. LARUE QUANTITIES OF MATTEL ARE M7CHANICALLY SUSPENDED /24 IT.

Unfortunately, at the moment when the Commissioners were drawing np their Report, the patent for " The Royal Filter for Cititerna" had not passed through the tedious or deal of office, OR IT WILL NOT BE DOUBTED, AFTER BEAD ING THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS, THAT I/ MOST HAVE FOV.MEO AN IMPORTANT AND IIiGHLY SATISFACTORY CON• CLCSION TO TIIF.IR Lanoti as.—The enhjoined extract from aProspectus, issned by the Proprietor, WILL DE TEIttIsPID WITH THE LIVELIEST INTEREST ar ALL WHO CONSIDER CLEANI,INE4S TO BE ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH, AND TITS FL LITT' OF UE ELEMENT OF WHICH WE ALE TREATING, TO ISE NEARLY Of EQUAL IMEURTANCE WITH THE Alit WE BREATHE:- " The Royal Filter for Cistwns will he found superior to all filters hitherto invested, inwonneh ai it not only POSSRSACH THIS FGWER OP CLARIFYING THE WATER IN A ERB-EMINENT DEGREE, BUT ALSO THAT OF EOM PLETE EC RIFICATION, RENDERING THE MOST TORB,ID, STAGNANT, AND ECEVID WATER, Or A CRTI/TALLINE DRILLIANCr, DE-rRIVING IT OF EVERT NOYIDITS INGREDIENT, AND, IN TACT, rRoDrcING INATURE ' s NEcTAR . IN THE HIGHE6T TOSsIBLE rERFEcTION ; THAT Z 3 TO SAT, CLEAR AZTH DENTITUTE OR TASTE AND sIHELL." Tlse rapidity of the process may be understood by a single ohtetvation, " THAT NO FART AS THE WATER. Di SDPPLIED AT THE. TOT DP THE CIVEILE, BO VAST ET WILL DISCHARGE ITSELF FROM THE BORTOM. " " Bnt where," the reader will naturally exclaim, "ie the proof of all this to be found ? We must have some thing more solid and satisfactory than bare astertioms."— The fallowing statement must, we erunk, set the doubts of the most sceptical at rest for erts - . Mr. Home, the respectable and talented eherniet of Long Acre, who has long been employed by Government in aoalyeing waters, had two bottles sent to him fes analysation; THE ONE FULL OF ALL SORTS Or ANIMAL AND TEUrrArLE MATTERS IN A STATE OE DECOMPO4/IION, AND STRONGLY IMPREGNATED Willis GAS ; the other, a bottle which had contaiaed the same foul ingredients, but had bees 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 it no water, however pure and wholesome, whether from deep wells, superficial springs, or any other source, that is free from saline and other 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 in, the water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the impurities and contingent fonlnest of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a slight impregnation by animal substances, some carbnreted 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 water to he most effectual, and highly deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, " the opinion I had formed of this new process foe filtering is fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH PURPOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAB ANN OTHER IMPURITIES, RECA)IN CRYSTALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL. Thus it ie clearly proved, THAT OF TUN FORTY-SIN GRAINS AND A HALF OF SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY TLACED IN THE ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SIATEEN GRAINS OF SUBSTANCES PASSED THROCGII 1T; AND WHICH SIX- FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be 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 eseellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Brande, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keats, Dr. Scudamore, and SO other highly eminent and nnpre jndioed medical men, have each had the Royal Filter pl a ced in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the most turbid, foetid water of chrystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed that the diffienity of getting pore 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 now 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 e-apence is from SOs. to 41. or Si. 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 hare ocular de monstration of the efficacy of this remedy.

LONDON MARKETS. (Prom the London New Price Current of Friday.) StGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has con siderably revived during the present woek, occa sioned no doubt by the opinion generally entertained that no Sugars would be offered for sale next week, on account of the holidays. This day the certainty of the Colonial Market being closed all the next week brought forward the buyers, and the total sales are estimated at 2,200 bhds. and trs. The Refined Market has been rather dull all the week, but the prices ore more firm ; both the Grocers and Exporters evince a greater disposi tion to purchase, probably on account of the ex pectation that there will be little or no business during the next week. The Refined Market is little varied this afternoon; there are more buyers of Refilled Goods, particularly from prices 82s. a 88s., and for crushing. Bastards are also in some request for export. FOREIGN SUGAR.—There are no sales of Foreign Sugar to report. The stock of Brazil Sugar has accumulated. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—There has been some de mand for bright yellow Mauritius Sugars, all other descriptions have been neglected. CoFPEE.—The public sales lately brought forward are quite inconsiderable, tn4d this week the only transactions are small parcels of Jamaica and Ber bice for the home consumption ; the prices have been fully maintained. No sales of Foreign Coffee are reported. There were no public sales of Coffee this afternoon, and no purchases by private contract have been reported. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDI3.—The transac tions in Rum have not been extensive this week; the sale of Leewards we alluded to last week was two over at 2s. bd., since which a large parcel of six over is reported at 2s. 6d.; time other purchases are quite inconsiderable. In Brandy or Geneva there is little alteration. FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market was very firm all the week till yesterday, when the prices rather gave way. In Hemp or Flax there is little variation. INDIGO.—The *,ales of Indigo for the last week are from 200 to 300 chests, chiefly of former sales; they are at the rate of about 3d. per lb. advance on the last East India House sale, and are of the mid. and good qualities. SILL—The Silk Market continues dull. COTTON.—The improvement in the demand for Cotton at Liverpool has occasioned more firmness among the holders here, but the sales are not exten sive. The purchases for the week ending last night inclusive are—by public sale :-1,700 Swats, at 34d. a 4(1.; 700 ditto, at 3d. a 3d. SALTPETRE.—The demand for Saltpetre continues dull ; the prices are rather lower. IRtstt PROVISIONS.—Beef and Pork are quoted at a small reduction. Butters are dull and lower, on account of the mild weather. Hops.--The fine samples of Hops maintain the late currency; the inferior parcels are offered at rather lower rates, without facilitating sales. TonAcco.—The sales of Tobacco this week are about 200 lihds., chiefly Irish at 5i(1., and some good black Virginia at sd. FittitT;:—There continuos to be a very extensive demand for the common descriptions, still the gro cers refrain from buying more than sufficient for the supply of their immediate wants, even at the pre sent low prices, as, from the evident determination of the importers to effect sales, they have hitherto this season been able to purchase cheaper almost daily, consequently what they purchased one day upon reasonable terms they lost money by the next, and therefore are intimidated and fearful of laying in any stock. New Currants go off slowly, in very small parcels; fine new Muscatells aro scarce, and fully support their prices; there is some inquiry for new Sultanas, but there are none rem aining on hand ; the p r i ce h as not var i e d a ll the season since the first arrival. New Turkey Figs go off very slowly, and at reduced prices. TEA.—There is a demand for the low-priced Twan keys Since the sale, at a small advance , . The ro port that some Teas are offered at Id. per lb. dis count on the India House prices proves tube untrue. SPICES.--A large parcel of Pepper is reported to be sold at a reduction of id. per lb., and some good Pimento at Sid. Rim—The only sale of rice to any extends a parcel of good Carolina at :375., ord. yellow Mada gascar at 12s. a 135., and some ord. white Bengal 15s. The holders appear siisappointed that the ad vance in Wheat has produced no demand for Rico. AS/IRS, &C.—By public sale this day, 457 brig. Canada Pearl Ashes 355. a 365., 129 brls.

FRENCH PATENT MACHINE FOR SPIN NING wrrit ECONOMY FK.AX AND HEMP..—This machine is composed of several spindles similar to those of common spinning -wheels, and distribnted by " claviers," or seta of I b a sitwie wheel, which at the eight spi n dl es eac h, Or"' same time circulates th e water necessary to moisten the threads. y lse h d :hih i en s ir t ee n a be f t .as •s 71 8 ;h : ht. ,Ttheshhenawe supply iiit o ‘ i e d nl e g eool communicate o n at orn f x i L e l l ia,n s a ino n x ide f ft ' ab o :h c r i et e : h t na L e t po u t f: id o eg i l r r ' n,avu t w i s a iln t at c init : t h eo n yitt P ' l,,,evite ' y P rti e: bt l i hi a t leif t ee : teer i l l )rn e intog, t r et} :, to d fib), , eaotcrOsirnxa?: O ci r a e s y ie e r n s, , , c o b r il a d, rm w i l: r e e n g, th eo e n m v ac t..c.d hine ea d c r h ir o re f e n ig n i ?; • dles.

Each " clavier" of eight spindles is supplied by finis distaffs, each furnishing two slsinelles at once, and all the " claviers" are disposed in ant ion.— All the threads take the requisite moisture at the moment when they are about to be twisted, in conduits formed for the purpose, besides a more constant and effectual pressure than that obtained by a woman spinning with a common wheel. The thread is twisted equally by mechanical mo tion; and as soon as it has undergone that operation, another motion accelerated takes it and winds it on the bobbins placed on the spindles. Lastly, the thread is formed in skeins by another mechanical movement. Mr. Hontsu, on the part of Mr. Wellesley, had a petition to present, which prayed that his sons might be permitted to spend the Christmas holidays' in a house provided for them iu Connaeght-plare, in London, or in any other place the Court might ap point. No directions baying been given by th e Court as to the place where the boys Trete to spend their Christmas holidays, they were now living with Mr. Ebden, at Connaught-place. The Loan CHANCELLOR asked who paid the rcpt of the house ?---Mr. HORtill admitted that Mr. Wel lesley p a id t h e rent. The LenD CHANCELLOR thought i t highly im prop,. that th e b oys s h ould be suffered to remain in Mr. Wellesley's house. It was directly in disobe dience of the order of the Court. Mr. SUDDEN, on the pert of the Misses Long, had a cross petition, praying that the children might br allowed to take up their abode at Seagry House, near Draycot. The Learned Counsel stated that in August last Mr. Welleeley had an interview with his childree, and he then elicited information from thorn which had been put into writing in the form of at, affidavit. lie did not think that he should be actin g with propriety if he publicly stated the contents of this paper; but he would hand it up to his Lordship for his perusal. The document was then handed np to the Bench and his Lordship having read it, thought Mr. Sug den had acted wisely in abstaining from reading it. Mr. HORNE was surprised that any alirisiom had been made to the document, as it could-hare no re ference to the present question. Mr. SUGDRN thought it had a reference to the question; and he used it to show how improper it was that the children should he allowed to remain a single night in Mr. Wellesley's house. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the children ought to be removed to Seagry House as soon as possible. He could not make any eider for the removal of the children this night from Mr. Wellesley's house, in Connaught-place; but it was plain that they ought to be removed, as soon as possible, to Seagry. It was stated to the Corirt, that Seagry Home was not quite ready, but would be ready in a week. The LORD CHANCELLOR ultimately directed that Mr. Ebden should appear in his private room, at ten o'clock to-morrow morning. lie thought no suffi cient reason had been assigned by the other side against the removal of the boys to Seagry House. MORRIS V. DATItS. The Lon') CHANCELLOR said, that he had re viewed the notes of the Learned Judge who hart tried this cause, and it apps reft that, afttr the Jury had been ont all night, a Terdict had been re turned to the effect, that there was nothing whatever in the evidence to rebut the presumption of an in tercourse having taken place between Mr. and Iths. Davis subsequently to the separation. His Lord ship wi.hed Counsel to consider whether, under these circumstances, a new trial could be pressed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, D ec. 19. Shortly after the sitting or the Court, M. KNIGHT appealed to the Vice-Chancellor for pro tection from the insults and assaults of \lr. Bruce. lie stated that, upon entering the Court just then, Mr. Bruce had, in the rudest manner, assaulted him, charging him with haring Befit him a certain newspaper. Ile utterly denied having ever sent him auy newspaper. (The nameof the newspaper did not transpire.) His lioNotiu admonished Mr. Bruce, who was present, telling him that he had already been com mitted for contempt of Court, and, if he did not behave properly to the Counsel of his Court, h e should certainly order him into custody. Mr. SUGDEX bore testimony to the rudeness of Mr. Bruce towards Mr. Knight, which he had often witnesied, and to Mr. Knight's uniform forbearance upon such occasions. Mr. Bruce was ready to bring forward the indi vidual who told him that Mr. Knight sent him the newspaper in question. His HONOUR desired Mr. Bruce would not in terrupt the business of the Court. lie should cet wilily act with severity towards him. GRINDBLL V. STURT. Tho proceedings in this case were brought to a conclusion to-day, his Honour granting the pray et: of the plaintiff's bill, upon a❑ understanding that: they would immediately proceed to try the validity of this will by an action of ejectment- against the de fendant, who held possession nnder the disputed will of certain freehold and copyhold estates, the property of the testator. The circumstances of the abduction of the late Mr. Grindell by kis nephews, and his subsequent recovery from a lunatic asylum, and trial of the par ties for conspiracy, are probably in the recollection of our readers. The circumstances of the present application to the Court were similar, in almost all respects, to those disclosed upon the trial. The prayer of the bill was that a receiver might be ap pointed, and that Captain Stun might be restrained from interfering with the funded or other property of the testator mail the proceedings taken to set aside the last will of the testator should be brongl t to a conclusion. The property left was to a consi derable amount ; the fund e d, i n d ependently of valu able landed property, b e i ng upwards of 40,000/. The plaintiffs' bill was filed by the two nephews of the teatutor, who sought to set aside the will upon the allegation of insanity at the time it was made in favour of Captain Stunt. In support of this allega tion affidavits, detailing, in great variety, and with great minuteness, the habits of the testator, were brought forward. It %vas stated that it was his con stant practice to go to bed with his keys tied round his ne c k, sa yi n g that he would not give them up even to the Holy Ghost. It w as also stated that he lived in adultery f o r the latter twenty - six years f his life with Mrs. Suet , the wife of a celebrated comedian, deceased , who , in h is will , in considera tion of her conduct, bequeathed her one shilling. It is but right to state here that Mr. Sugden, who ' appeared for the defendant, Captain Stunt, chal lenged this statement at the time it was read to the Court from the affidavit of the plaintiff. Mrs. Suet, in her situation in the testator's house, was visited by ladies of the highest rank and respectability. No proof was offered at the time that the passage al luded to did actually occur in the will of the late Mi. Suet, and the following morning (this morning) an affidavit was produced from Mrs. Suet, repelling the calumny with indignation. feft:rn F evn e ee r res t a h tti e oo n d h e bi f e e : n wn d e a eop n nh t , ehw a i lo m ng d ht a eh ffi ye d tn a ee v s eo l r ) r y . ow C f i a tt p hh t e t: t i e ; Sturt was read, d e t a ili ng, amongst other things, a ith treated him with proper respect or attention, and were much more regardful of his property than of himself or his comforts. Captain Sturt stated that he had come to lire with him voluntarily, and of his own free-will had left him his property. Mr. SUGDEN called his liononr's attention to the omission of the plaiatiffs to bring forward any of the medical i men n wh o , they alleged, had declared Mr. Gr The Vied-CHANcELLon here inquired if the plaintiffs intended to prosecute the question at law immediately by no action of ejectment. Mr. BICKERSTETII answering in the affirmative, the order, as prayed, was granted ad interim. A BAT.—On Saturday afternoon a bat was ot«-rred flitting about the malt barns at Canon Mills, for upwards of an hour. It is very seldom that these crea tures are seen in the dead of winter. --Scotsman. NEW SECT OF CHRISTIANS,--A corre pontient at Graasington, in Craven, says that a new Meet has sprung np at that place, the profeeksors of which style themselves " Nazarene Cariates."
