WILKINSON, Sole - Manufacturer to the Hon. Board of Ordnance, and the Hop. Corporation of London, No. 63, Upper Thames-street, near the South wark Bridge, and at the Works, Surrey Canal Bridge, Kent road, begs particularly, at this season, to recommend this valuable and economical Artieie, Which is patronized by the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Public Bodies, as the most elifectual Covering for all exterior purposes of Painting on Wood, Iron, Copper, Lead, Stucco, Roman Cement, and Tiling, to represen• Slates, or any other substance, tieing equal to Stone when dry. It resists every species of damp, water, or marine acid, preventing. iron from rusting, not blis tering with the sun, nor can it be rubbed off. This Paint will cover equally well on rough hoards as smooth, therehy preventing the'expence of planing ; and will last consider.. ably longer than any other paint.

Exterior and interior Painting and Deco rations executed by the best artificers, and upon terms parti cularly advantageous, DR. JANIES'S POWDER. T - HE celebrity of this Medicine, and its un questioned efficacy, is more than ever established by the greatly. increased introduction of it into the prescriptions of the most eminent Physicians at the present time. For the guidance of those persons who are out of the reach of medi cal advice, each Packet is enclosed with full directions for its use. In cases of Fever it will often effect a cure in a feW hours, especially when freely given at. the outset of the Dis ease. It is administered with equal• success in all attacks of Measles, St. Anthony's Fire, Sore Throat, Pleurisy, and Rheumatism ; but as Colds and Cattarhs partake snore or less of inflammatory symptoms, this Powder ,is peculiarly ef ficacious in cutting short their duration ; which, however harmless they may be thought, often terminate in Pulmonary Affections, the fatal consequences of which are but too well known. As an Alterative in Chronic Diseases, it is an ad mirable remedy. Dr. JAMES'S POWDER continues to be prepared by Messrs.

Considering this Gentleman as having been the mark of illiberal envy and overweening igllo. rance, we readily—insert the following letter, which appeared in yesterday's Morning Post, .a Paper not more distingnished for its sound con stitutional principles than its zeal for the encou ragement of talents and its protection of perse cuted merit.. With respect to Mr. SOANIII, we may add, in the words of POPE, " That sense survivid; when silly jests ware pas; " For real merit will buoy up at lest;" and the learning, faocy,,and genius„ which ail. pear in the works o f this Classical ArchiteCt and benevolent man e are evidently dissipating the clouds of ignorance and malevolence that were lately cast over his reputation. NEW COURTS OF LAW AT WESTMINSTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. SIR-I took the liberty to address you some time ago on the subject of Mr. SOANE'S Petition, and having' since seen some very able remarks on the same subject, and pretty much in unison with those you did me the favour to insect in your valuable Paper, I venture once more to solicit admis sion for these also, on a subject of such great importance.— Notwithstanding the urgent, necessity for speed in the comple tion of the Courts, it appears rather singular that no one step whatever has been taken since the report of the Committee on the Subject. May I be allowed to ask whether that Report is intended to be acted on ? or whether, in fact, any material change is likely to take place in the new buildings in conse quence of it ? In a question of such public interest, I cannot but think it strange that so long a period has been suffered to elapse without any thing whatever having been done to the works. But I proceed to the remarks which follow, and I am, Sir, yours, &c. • . A. B. In forming a correct judgment on the subject of the additional' buildings connected with Westminster Hall, two questions pro sent themselves : First. In what style the exterior of the new buildings should be erected ? N‘rhether with a Gothic facade, or whether the style of the old stone building should be continued ? The second question is, Whether a corresponding wing should be erected on the east side of Westminster Hall ? . • To determine these questions, it may be assumed, First, That the front of Westminster Hall should be lA* itself, as much insulated as possible, to tell its own tale—" mixed with baser matter." Secondly, That any new building should be subordinate to the front of Westminster Hall, • From these data it follows, that if the additional building hat a Gothic facade, it will enter into competition with the front of Westminster Hall; and, like a pigmy compared with a giant, both will suffer by the coniparison. If, on the contrary, the exterior is made to correspond with the old stone building, the front of Westminster Hall, rising majestically above the sur. rounding objects, will retain its imposing aspect. As to the second question. It a corresponding wi be' erected, it will exclude all the beauty of the east side of West. minster Hall, and render the approach to the Speaker's House very much confined ; whereas, by taking down the Duchy of Lancaster Buildings, and leaving the space open, a very large parr of the magnificent east front of Westminster Hall will be exposed to the view of " all those who enter the me tropolis by Westminster Bridge," and the exterior of the Speaker's house, with the beautiful Cloister, which may be laid open to the Court-yard, by altering the entrance into the Speaker's house, and thereby add to the splendour of the scene ; and this assemblage of the sublime exertions of our an cestors will produce a striking effect on the minds of the be holders,—whilst the Court.yard, inclosed with lofty massive railing, would improve the convenience of the Speaker's mansion. The rooms that will be taken from the Speaker's house by opening the Cloister as proposed, might be easily supplied by additional rooms nearer the ricer ; and the Duchy of Lancas ter, the Exchequer, and any other buildings that may hereafter be required, might be erected next the river, and be corn. posed in a style so as to increase the splendour of Westmin. ster Hall. The Committee in their report to the House of Commons state that they " are well aware how difficult * and hazardous a task it is to place modern Gothic by the side of such a struc ture as Westminster Hall ;" and it is presumed that it has been shewn, that any such attempt would tend to destroy the mag nificence of 'Westminster Hall. If, however, it should be de:. termined to Gothicize the front of the New Building, and to finish the North-west angle with a tower, surely that tower should not be of an octangular form, but square, to correspond in form, but not in dimension, with the towers of Westminster' Hall. • The front of the House of Lords is a melancholy instance of this truth. Mr. WYATT'S design for the improvement of West. minster, of which this formed a part, was intended to have . continued the same style of building from this front on both sides of Parliament-street, as far as Golden-cross, Charing cross ; but such was the general disapprobation of this sped. men of architecture, sanctioned by a . Committee of taste, that the great plan of improvement was relinquished, neither Mr. WYATT nor the Clerk of the Works choosing to sanction the abortion. The design was abandoned : and the drawings cf this promised mighty blaze of architecture, which vanished in air, were deposited among the archives of the House a Commons. CANINE PHILOSOPHERS.—At the time whets the dispute between the pa'rtizans of Aristotle and of Descartes raged in France with the greatest violence, a country clergyman had edu. Gated four dogs. One he named Aristotle, and. the other Descartes; each of them had a disciple,. and had brought them up so that they could not bear the sight_of another. As soon as Aristotle perceived Descartes, he seemed inclined to tear him in pieces, and the latter was no bet ter disposed towards the other. To amuse his friends, the Curate would call the rival phi.' losophers. Each immediately took his place; Aristotle on the right, Descartes on the left, of their master, and each disciple stood near his master." The Curate then exhorted Aristotle to accommodate matters with Descartes, but the angry looks of the - dog, and his loud bark i ng, intimated his ave rs i on to the proposal. He then wade a similar application to Descartes, who treated it in the same m anner. " Let us try, then," said the master, 66 Whether by confering together you are c ome to an' s ereernent.'!. Upon this the dogs drew nearer tilt one another, and each in hip seemed discussing some im. turn barking gentlY , portant m atter. The barking, however, gradually grew louder, the disputants became more and more enraged, and finally, rushing upon one ano. ther, would probably have terminated the dispute. fatally to one or the other, had not their master separated them. There is to be seen just now at Dunkeld, in the open pleasure ground, in front of Miss Ono's St. Adaman's Cottage, a Chinese tree peony, only three feet and a half high, yet occupying a space five feet in diameter: Its full blown blossoms, at present forty-four in number, are each about two feet in 'circumference, and cover almost the whole foliage of the plant, which has indeed a most: superb a p pearance , b e i n g consi dered the finest of the, kind ever reared in ibis country.—( Edinburgh Paper.)
