HONOURED SIR, I BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, nom its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevcre courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. I n tic spring sit last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e esn each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful manner ; my right was dreadfully ps loin', and had be e n in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very touch discoloured, and gave rue uch excruciating pain, particularly when warm in as nearly to deprive me of rest ; iu this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompso 1, (who received so great a cure by them hers.), to take your Leake's Patent ('ills, which I began to do on the 26tit 0. May; in th e course o f a fortnight ibegan to receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly heald— soon atter, the sores ots my legs healed also ; leaving, how ever, considerable discolouratioa in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the bit sEing of God, ati.! a little longer vei severance in your hie:du - Ode Medicine, sif , sated ; the nodes dispersing., the skin rega' , "•pg its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going nth.-1 thus became, by yu r liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all lily former complaints—have !covered my former spirits and strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state hay iog continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew use, I am at a loss in what tern's t. express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing you wi!l greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very h table servant • ALEX. :11UltKER .

THE SPIRI I' OF THE AGE, AND THE DUTY OF ALL TO IMPROVE AND EXTEND IT. The duration of peace has, as it were, re-civiliz ed us; and this grant-nation is now stretching its mighty links, and breaking asunder the shackles in which the war sys tem had entangled it.—The present administration of this country, whatever differences of opinion may fairly exist as to some of their general political sentiments, it must be acknow ledged, will ever deserve the gratitude of the nation for the wise and generous p o li cy w hi c they have boldly . pursued upon the subject of commerce. England will date anew fora in its history from the commencement of that policy. Govern ment, upon this subject, is really in earnest. The laws which they have introduced to relieve commerce of its restrictions prove it. Their enlightened speeches in parliament, and their general conduct prove it. The late meeting for promoting a subscription - to a Monument for the late Mr. Watt, is an inte . . resting proof of their disposition to encourage the useful arts. On that occasion, the 'Prime Minister of the State, and several of his Right Honourable Colleagues, were seen to meet with their most violent political"Oprionents, in paying homage to the character of a man, who had no 'pretensions to hereditary ho noUrs, Or' Martial glory, but who was a modest son of science. The contribution Made on behalf of his Majesty, was a truly royal act - ;- and the manner in - which Mr. Peel alluded to his obligations to commercial success, was worthy of the character - of an EngliSh Statesman: The disposition of the people is not less favourable in the suc cess of the genial arts of Peace. We may instance the ready reception by the working Mechanics of the Metropolis of the excellent plan of r Dr. Birkbeck. The enthusiasm with which the . advavalitiiges of his Institution have been embraced by the classeS4or'whem it was intended, is, perhaps, one of the most cheering evitletiCes Of the increasing knowledge of the times, and to:eVery sound thinker, it must present a more promising prospect 'Of national ditrability , and happiness, than the mere strength of , onf- Navy, and the success of our arms, could ever have ail - billed:: "-kndwledge is power." America would soon haVe - taught us a lesson upon' this subject, if we had chosen to wait for 'it''--in that country, they have long had Institutions where public' lectures, at the expence of the State, are given upon the various branches of science and practical philosophy. These may be, and are expected - to be, attended by all classes of mechanics, and others employed in the useful arts. Public examinations are annually held of apprentices, some of whom, in every trade of skill, are rewarded by prizes, according to their merits. But after all, there is reason to hope that America will not'out-England England. The Institution in London is attended by more than a thousand working Meyhanics, who subscribe cheerfully to its support, and by their own labour, provide for a:great part of its philosophical apparatus. Is it not fair to presunie that similar Institutions, in the country, Will •meet with similar success ? • Let the experiment be tried. • The Portsmouth and Portsea Philosophical Society, is a local Institution, which, though it makes no boastful p re t ens i ons , is highly creditable to the public spirit and talent of these Towns. But, at present, the advan tages of the Society are confined to the Members, and the visitors who attend the Lectures, who are of the re. spectable classes of society. The mechanics,—those who are employed as journeymen in the various trades of art— have no opportunity of deriving..any advanatge from the Insti tution. I admit, of course, that the Members are under no obligation to extend the benefits of the Society beyond their own pleasure and improvement; but I cannot avoid suggest ing, the practicability of extending those benefits, in a limited degree, to the very useful class of inchviduals whom I have mentioned, not, certainly, as members forming a constituent part of the Society, but as persons allowed to enjoy some of its advantages. Suppose, for instance, a certain number of la bouring Mechanics were to be admitted, as visitors, to attend on some evening in every week or fortnight, a Lecture to. be given expressly for them, and with a view to meet their capa cities. There can be no doubt that several of the members would gladly volunteerin so useful a service, as Lecturers. It would, most likely be preferred by the attendants, to give a small subscription towards the funds of the Society, than to be admitted entirely gratis. Doubtless, they would feel grateful for the attention paid to their interests ; and would, perhaps, evince their gratitude, by some valuable contributions, in their labour, towards furnishing of the philosophical apparatus. No ()filer visitors (members excepted) might be permitted to at tend on the niht of the Mechanics Lecture, so that accommo dations would- be afforded for a considerable number of that class. aware of the sober and well-disposed character of many among the mechanical classes of these towns, I feel persuaded that such a generous plau would succeed. It is impossible to say what might not be the general advantages resulting from its adoption. Who knows what the inventive genius of some practical man might not effect for the honour and good of the Town ? Arkuright was a bather-; and Furl s -limn, the Astro nomer, a shepherd boy. Perhaps, some staple manufactory might, in course of time, be established in the place ; which, now that there is, comparatively, a cheap mode of conveyance for goods and merchandize from this Town to the Metropolis, might prove successful. But, independently of any particular benefits such as have been intimated, there is sufficient induce ment to the plan, arising from general considerations. Scientific knowledge among the working classes, is calculated to raise the general tone and character of intellect among them ; and . they who theoretically and, practically understand the principles of science, will soon pant to attain the means by which they may communicate their knowledge to others. A labouring man, once made sensible of the superiority of mind over sense, will feel his character exalted and himself dignified. He will take, a higher grade upon the moral scale. He acquires, what is so necessary to persons in the humbler walks of life, a degree of proper self-respect. —Such a person, while he can obtain Books, and hear Lectures, will not be anxious to spend his evenings at the Ale-house, ruining his health, and beggaring his family. Portsmouth, Jan. 28. A 111 ICUS. BIBLIOMANIA. There were rare doings at Roxburghe Hall on Monday. The madness of the public in favour of all those wild schemes and speculations with which the town is at this moment inundated, was, if possible, exceeded by the ardour and enthusiasm displayed by the hook-buyers at Evans's, with this exception in favour of the latter—they have something for their money.

[FROM A COI( R ESPONOENT.3 • .We believe that there is bu tone opinionthr9ngh o.ut.the country on the universal benefit and sa .tisfaction that would follow the total repeal of •these obnoxious imposts. Agreeing, as Ave'4o t in the general line of policy adopted by his Ma jesty's Ministers, and giving them every 'credit for what has already been effected,'-still it. must he confessed , that this measure is alone wanting to complete that popularity which . theY' 11#if.e. so justly acquired. . When, in, the last .SeSsion Parliament, the CHANCELLOR of the resolved to reduce the duties on silk, 4c,...be urged that the prevention of that demoraiiiing practice -smuggling, and consequent diMination of expense in keeping up the Preventive Service, were things devoutly to be wished by the. coun .try. In this we readilyagret.!: we will acknOw ledge also that the practice. was not confined:to professed smugglers alone. Many , of our lair countrywomen, on their return to. England after a short trip to France, have. exhibited a degree of coTutemw whiCh could:hardly - be attributed to the salubrity of the cliMate. No'w, anxious as we are that such evils should be prevented—de sirons also that the forms •of our countrywomen shOuld not exceed their 'natural and graceful limits—still we •have not the gallantry to .avoid asking-, are theSe evils to be compared with_ the evils of .the Assessed '['axes ? or has the repeal of the Silk Duties afforded half so much relief as the abolislnnet4 of the inhabited gouse . and Window Duties •,would. have done ? We think not, and the Ppblio are evidently of the same opinion. The evils of the Assessed Taxes. may,. be classed as follow : 1. They materially increase the expences of persons laving large establishinent?t, and consequently induce many, ' who would otherwise remain in England', to reside abroad, where they can live cheaper. 2. They occasion frequent disputes and litigation among the people; and encourage a principle utterly repugnant to the minds of Englishmen—the right of search. 3. They are partitularly burthensome to those who obtain a livelihood by letting . ,out lodgings. 4. They injure the-health of the poorer daises, by compelling them to forego the necessary portion of light and ventilation. Now, if these statements be true, and, we think no one will have the hardihood to deny them, does it not follow as a matter of course that the repeal of the Taxes in question would afford benefits as great as the evils which they at present inflict ? And, after all, what is the amount of them ? Little more, or hardly so much, we believe, as four millions—a sum which the application of the five millions annually, ap' propriated, to the Sinking Fund would, for the present, more than supply; and as there is every reason to suppose that peace will long continue, and that the national Revenue will progressively increase, the State might shortly dispense with'the amount altogether. We are aware that the Sinking Fund has long been considered as sacred to that purpose for which it was originally intended—the reduction of the National Debt : we say con sidered, because every body knows that the in tention has not been strictly adhered to; and surely it could not be encroached upon with more propriety than for the purpose of removing the only serious burthen of which the Public have now to complain. Other reductions have been partial iu their operations. The lessening of the Duty on Leather has not furnishect,us with cheaper shoes—the reduction of the duties on silk has not afforded general relief ; but the total repeal of the Assessed Taxes would benefit every class of the community, and even increase the gratitude which is now so universally felt for the exertions of our present Ministers. Let' us; therefore, hope that the present Session of Par liament will not pass away till the imposts we have been speaking of are totally abolished.— Such an object accomplished, well might our rulers claim the lasting thanks and admiration of a !Garai people—with justice might they exclaim with the Roman Poet, " nomen erit indelebile ncestrum"—Our name will be immortal. A duel was fought yesterday morning, on Action Common, between lluGn BLENSENSOP, Esq. and a Gentleman of the name of FORDYCE. The dispute which occasioned the meeting aros e from a simple disputed bet of a rump and dozen, respecting a leap in following the Farley-kill hounds. The first fire missed, and in the second Mr. BLENKENSOP was wounded in the side, but not dangerously, and he was able to return home to his residence, in Seymour-street, where surgeon H u oil Es attended him.
