It boils Water, prepares Coffee and Chocolate in a very superior manner ; boils Eggs, cooks_a Beef-steak or slice of Ham, and all in less than ten minutes.. For Dinner, it will prepare - Soup, steam Vegetables, and cook Fish, Chops, or Steaks, at the same time ; aml for all this one farthing's worth of fuel is more than sufficient. The operation may be performed upon a breakfast or dining table, without soiling the cloth, or producing smoke, or any unpleasant smell; it naa . , ,, be used in a Car riage without the least danger or inconvenience. For Pedestrians, it may be carried in the hand ; for Tea, it answers the purpose of an Urn, and saves both the trouble and expence of lighting a fire. It is admirably adapted for warm weather and hot climates; for Taverns and Coffee-houses ; Parties of Pleasure and Rural Rambles. From its convenience and economy it is worthy the atten tion of single persons, and small families living in lodg ings; and its construction is such as to make it invaluable on board of Vessels in rough weather, as the motion of the vessel does not affect it ; and the saving of fuel will more than pay the expellee of it in one short voyage.

AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets, Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fittally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotence ; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success ful practice, and at once safe, speedy, and effectual, is adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure. Principiis obsta ; sero medicina paratur. By C. R. COURTENAY, M. D. Robert-street, Adelphi.

" Amongst the numerous Medical and Surgical Works of the day, we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay, on Syphilis, and other frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which form the subject of this very interesting publication.

On Thursday there was a Meeting of the Pa rishioners residing within the Hamlet of Hammer smith, Mr. Clements, in the Chair, to appoint a Select Vestry for the ensuing year; to resume the consideration of the adjourned question regarding the formation of a vault or vaults under the new church (Sr. Peter's), built, and now finishing, within such hamlet, &e. After the nomination had taken place, Mr. GEo. BIRD (the contractor for building the new church) proceeded to propose that the parish should autho rise the raising of a sum for vaultc. The surveyor said that the complete vaulting of the church would cost about 8001., but that in progess of time 9,000/. might be gained for burials there, and the mmiev could be borrowed, the residue of the profits, after the payment of the interest, &c., to be sat apart for a " Sinking Fund," to pay off the borrowed money. He did not intend to propose so extensive a work as was suggested by the surveyor, to call for 800/. from the parish, he proposed to limit the sum to 150/. He moved a resolution to such effect. Mr. CoGr.;ETT should move as an amendment, that it was not expedient at present to incur addi tional expenses on account of vault or vaults. The Rev. Mr. CHISHOLM observed, that rather than again witness the scenes he had beheld during the last four or five years, when burying the dead in the crowded churchyard of Hammersmith, be would make any proffers to improve their means of burial. He . would lend the parish the 150/. at 4 per cent., and be obliged to them for taking it ; and he would take the whole speculation of the vaults on himself, if the Act allowed them to be converted to indi vidual advantage. He would also forego his fees, if the law permitted it ; but the law would not permit him to compromise the rights of his successor. After an extended conversation, the amendment was withdrawn, and the original motion carried by (noticing the hands held up) about 9to 3. The Overseers' accounts were then considered. • ST. PAUL, C O VENT-GARDEN.—The dlCC tion of a Surgeon for this Parish was resumed yesterday morning. The Chairman (Mr. Dow) intimated that Mr. MORRIS had declined the poll. After the other unsuccessful Candidates (Messrs. COLE and BERT) had returned thanks for the support which they had received, Mr. Br.a - mAN, on whom the election for Surgeon had fallen by a majority of 164, returned thanks. Thanks were voted to the Chair man. and the Vestry was dissolved. DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY.

MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—About three o'clock yes terday afternoon, two young men, who are assistants at the Western Dispensary, in Nutford-place, Edgware-road, came to this office in a great hurry, and requested Mr. HosKnis to send officers immediately to the Dispensary, or it would be demolished ; for, in consequence of the dead body of an Irishman being there, a great number of his countrymen had surrounded it, and were endeavouring to force their way into it, through the doors and windows.— The corpse was that of a labourer, who had been employed among others in enlarging the building. He was taken suddenly ill on Thursday night, and although every assist ance the institution could afford was given to him, he died at lc) o'clock. When the circumstance became known by his friend, they apprehended an improper use would be made of his body, and assembled in crowds to prevent it. Among them, Mr. Hewett, the chief officer, found his wife and brothers : they were instantly admitted, to remove suspicion. She remained with the corpse, the others, after having kissed it, and howled over it, according to the cus tom of their country, left, and by seven o'clock in the evening, tranquillity was restored. UNION-HALL—Mr. Robert Tate, the insurance broker, who was acquitted at the last Surrey Assizes of the capital charge of firing at Messrs. Bellamy and Parnell with intent to murder them, was yesterday brought up from Horsemonger-lane gaol, for the purpose of being bound, on Lis owe recognizances, in the sum of 200/., and find two sureties in 100/. each, to appear at the Sessions, in the event of his being again indicted. Mr.:Harmer, who tendered his services as one of the bail for Mr. Tate, stated, that that gentleman's friends bad made arrangements since his acquittal for procuring his reception into an asylum : therefore, observed Mr. Harmer, neither of the gentlemen to whom he fired while labouring under a fit of insanity, need be in the slightest degree alarmed at any future attempt upon their lives by him. The required securities having been taken, Mr. Tate was conveyed away by his friends. ST.

Blest in th e g if ts o f nature, and enrieliavvith the whaogili cal sovereignty of t a l ent an d o f b eauty over e had th e h app i ness of seeing and hear treasures of art, M a d emo i se l le Sontag has exercised a th ll e m ing her. Her physiognomy is lively and .spirituelle, but modesty Is one of its attractive features. Oae beauty, desirable -for a handsom4 woman, but vet more so for a singer, is her well-formed mouth, the form of which is never injured by grimace, but which assumes on the contrary a more pleasing appearance according as greater efforts in execution are de manded. Her whole person is full of grace. The, expression of her countenance accords with her na tural demeanour; there appears in her a simplicity without negligence ; she is free from affectation, and remarkable for those elegancies which are the result efinnate intelligence ; rind give a character of originality to her acting: Mademoiselle Sontag was born at Coblentz. Since Italian singing is admired in all parts of Europe, Ansonia no longer possesses the exclusive privilege of sending forth singers, other countries may now boast of a similar advantage. It was thus that it, ancient times the Greek language civilized the barbarian countries, and a taste for their arts was gradually introduced into those parts where their language had penetrated. The pirents of Mademoiselle Sontag were distin guished in the dramatic profession, and she herself seemed destined for it by nature and education. She was but five years of age when she first appeared on the stage at Frankfort, in an old Opera, entitled the _V/pi:ph of the -namthe; she then played the part o f a fairy with elegance and taste, and gave at that early period fair promise of future excellence. She lost her father when she had attained her ninth year; she then quitted the Rhenish Provinces, and went to Germany with her mother, where she performed with great success. Her voice was al ready one of extraordinary compass, touching with out difficulty the la double octave. Her talents were greatly exercised, and she sang Mozart's most difficult pieces with the utmost facility. Being,ad rnitted into the Conservatoire of Prague, a classical education diteeled her . powers into the proper char nel. In her twelfth year, she made her debut in tly z , theatre of that city, and surpassed the hopes. that had been formed of her. Soon afterwards she went to Vienna, whither her fame had preceded her, and found. new admirers in that Capital. 1. She Was soon engaged in the German, and shortly after wards in the Italian Opera. This theatre at the time contained a host of talent; Madame Main -e vielle Fodor was among the number. She was the model chosen by Sontag after which to form her style and manner. In 1824, her engagement being closed, site pro ceeded into the interior of Germany. She by tuns favoured Leipsic and Berlin with her presence. A new theatre had been erected in the latter city, at which she was engaged and excited universal claim iShe was not an ephemeral attraction ; her triumphs were renewed from day to day ; she soon became the idol of the public; she was esteemed for her private qualities, as she was cherished for her' ta lents ; she was courted in the highest ranks of so ciety, and when, availing herself of a conge of a few weeks, she quitted Berlin for Paris, the general lan guage of the public upon her departure testified at Once their admiration and their regret. , POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS. One of the most interesting subjects upon which .the House of Commons' Committee upon the Police of the Metropolis examined evidence immediately before the recess of Parliament, was the increase of robberies upon bankers. What was before mere matter of conjecture was very candidly admitted to be matter of fact by some witnesses who were best qualified to give infor mation on the point. We understand that it was stated to the Committee, that immediately after the robbery of a bank, a cvmmunication was opened between the thieves and the bankers, and negotiated by an officer on the . part of the latter, and a go-between, or fence, on the part of • the former. An officer, who said that he had been employed on occasions of the sort, and t:e, at he had succeeded in regaining the stolen -pro perty, was asked whether he did not colisider,, that in effecting a compromise he NvP.s commit ting an offence ? To this he repiied in the ne gative. Ile did not think that in the present state of things there was any alternative if a banker wished for the restoration of hiS property The case of an eminent banking concern was cited in proof. An extensive robbery had been committed on the firm, and it was deter mined that compromise should be rejected, and that every effort should be made to deter the thieves from uttering, by the most rigorous prosecution. Three passers of the stolen notes were tried and convicted, and an expense of 1,500/. was added to the original loss, and, even after all the holding out, it was thought necessary to negociate. The thieves received their de mand, and the rest of the notes wet- restored. Another witness attributed the prevalener.4 of this wholesale offence of bank-note stealing to the frequent and familiar intercourse between the of f icers and men of bad character, and was of opinion that if thieves were in the habit of dreading the presence of an officer, the idea of 1' compromise would be quite idle, and, of course, the great temptation would be removed. Ac cording to the present system, a gang of thieves had only to run one hazard, for the plundered party was generally ready to negotiate ; b u t if there were an interruption to tile intercourse, and the police were to do their duty resolutely and without abatement, many hazards would be. incurred. There were but few persons in the metropolis who acted as fences upon those occa sions, and it would be advisable to have a con stant watch upon them. The Committee 'exa mined very closely, in order to ascertain the ex tent of the connection between thieves and officers, and the conduct observed in what are s e c a r ll i e p c t l i flasho:of h houses, w nuisances th w e eaxsissoteipicoesiotif4 nt i c e o lt de t' by one of the Magistrates ho di spense justice in the very midst of them.
