Not only was my whole frame weakened by the terrible agony of the gout, but my left leg, from the knee down to the very extremities of my toes, was swoln to three times its natural size, and the racking pains I suffered by day and night I can only assimilate or compare to. a legion of little imps, all armed with hot needles, and, at the sante moment, un expectedly darting their points at once into every pore, from the cap of my knee down to the very sole of my foot. From this miserable state (which without effectual help) I could not possibly have survived another month, I was obliged to sit up the greater part of the night in a chair ; then the warmth of the bed I could not endure. I readily declare I had the advice of several of the most emi nent Surgeons and Physicians, I ut all to no effect ; instead of getting be•ter I was getting still worse ; in short I gave up all hopes of ever being cured ; but the Almighty, who beholds our sufferings with pity, has sent me a perfect re covery, by being under the care of the French Dr. Talma, lately arrived at No. S, Howland-street, Fitzroy square, London. I fortunately made application to him in time, and I feel that he is the saviour of my life. 1 declare I was no longer than wenty-three days under his c ire. lam now perfectly cured from that most painful anti miserable of all complaints, the gout. Tears of gra titude make me lay down my pen. My morning and evening prayers shall be devoted to the Almighty to pi o• long his valuable life for the benefit of the afflicted. Any person desirous of ascertaining the fact may obtain my ad dress, and further particulars, by application at the Doc tor's r.sidence, as above mentioned. .1. W. INDIGESTION, HEARTBURN, &c. BUTLER'S COOLING APERIENT POWDERS. These Powders produce an eff,r vescing Draught extremely grateful to the palate, as well as at the same time a mild and cooling Aperient, pecu- liarly adapted to relieve Indigestion, Heartburn, and Nausea, and counteract Acidity in the stomach. If frequently taken, they will obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salt.t, and other strong and nauseeus medi cines, which often debilitate the system without producing the desired effects. When taken after too free an indul gence in the luxuries of the table, particularly after too much wine, the usual disagreeable effects are prevented. Sold in Boxes at 2s. 9d., by Messrs.

ADDRESS. • The large Ophthalmic Infirmaries already established in this Metropolis, with their respective merits and silvan.. Cages, are well known to the public ; but notwithstanding the able and z-alous endeavours of those connected with them, and the fact, apparent from their collective Reports, that nearly Ten Thousand Cases are annually admitted under the care of those Institutions, great numbers still remain unprovided for ; while, in but too many instances, the wretched patients, after obtaining advice, are unable even to purchase the medicines prescribed. To obviate in the fullest manner the very serious diffi culties just adverted to, and to furnish, what was much wanted, an additional Ophthalmic Charity, Mr. Stevenson was lately induced to enlarge, in a public form, and on a more comprehensive plan, his former private and limited " Institution for the cure of Cataract," which, under royal auspices, was organized and carried into beneficial opera tion more than fifteen years ago, with a view to improve the treatment of that disease. The Infirmary was consti tuted, has been recently opened for In and Out Patients, many of whom have already been restored to sight. Necessitous patients afflicted with any of the various diseases of the Eye, and making application at the In firmary, on Tuesday and Friday mornings, before ten o'clock, are admitted on the list of a Subscriber, as Out Patients, and supplied with the requisite medical and sur gical aid, free of expense. It is, however, to be distinctly understood, that only such as labour under Cataract are re ceived as In Patients, to whom admission is granted in ro tation, and as vacancies occur, at any age, and from any part of the United Kingdom, on the recommendation of a Life or Annual Subscriber, the names of whom, with a Prospectus and any other particulars, may be learnt at the Infirmary. The practice adopted at this Infirmary, in cases of Ca taract, is not guided by an unvarying adherence to any one mode of operation ; that particular mode being in every instance preferred which has been ascertained to be best suited to the different species and respective stages of the disease. If the patient applies for relief at an early period, and as soon as the slightest degree of opacity or cloudiness behind the pupil is visible, accompanied with a correspond ing dimness and imperfection of sight, when the Cataract admits of the easiest and most successful removal, recourse is had to the treatment long since recommended and pur sued by Mr. Stevenson. A candid and familar exposition of arguments and facts with interesting cases, illustrative of the dangers contingent on delaying, and of the advan tages derivable from the early removal, of Cataract may be seen in the Fourth Edition of Mr Stevenson's " New Mode of Treating Cataract," dedicated, by permission, to King George IV., and published by Burgess and Hill, Great Windmill -street, Hay-market, price Bs. in boards. But, if the disease has been allowed to proceed until fully formed, and the patient is become blind, one or other of the several methods of operating, by couching, or by ex traction, is employed. By the early treatment, patients are saved the suspense and inconvenience of waiting months or years, with constantly decreasing sight, in the wear'• some expectation of what is termed the ripening of the Cfr taract, at the risk of some new, or of a complication cu the existing disease, and while even its temporary presence tends more or less to injure the internal structure of the eye, and its long continuance ultimately to paralyse the nerve of vision, so as to render an operation at last either impracticable, inexpedient, or unavailing if performed. Subscribers of Ten Guineas at a single payment, or of a Guinea annually, are entitled to keep one Out Patient at time un d er the care of the Charity. A suhscription Of Twenty Guineas constitutes a Life Governor, and of Two or more Guineas yearly, an Annual Governor, with the privilege of constantly retaining, in succession, two 0 , more Out Patients on the books of the Infirmary, and of re commending In Patients. A printed statement of receipts and disbursements, the names of contributors, and a list 01 Patients admitted, cured, or relieved, will be annually laid before the subscribers, and the public. Donations and subscriptions, in behalf of the Charity, are re ce i ve d at the Banking-house of Sir Clau d e S c ott and Co., I r Cavendish square ; at that of Messrs. Smith, Payn e , and S mith , , —orn-ar--street ; and at the resid ence of Mr. St2venson, Is, Margaret-street, Cavendish-squa re. THOS.

PRICE 7D. INDIA& CHOLERA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR,—I am led to address you again on the subject of •holera, and hope to find space in your columns for the ;,110winz obaervatiOna tegardinf a law which seems te. serest the local progress of the Indian gettilone. The remarkable taw of cholera which I shall endeavour to elucidate, is this :—Soon after the epidemic has mad. Is appearance in a town, it assumes a snore virulent type -.ban at any latef petied of attack. Spreading rapidly tinting the inhabitants, it frequently ca.t7i.3-, off some thou , ands in the space of ten or fifteen days, then graduall , leclining in severity, it nearly or altogether disappears to wards the end of the fourth or fifth week. Thus, when the cholera attacked in India that part of the grand army under the immediate command of tile Marquis of Hastings 't was discovered in the camp on the 6th of Pfarember. 1617. At the expiration of ten days it bad overspread the ~amp, and attained its greatest degree of malignity. With this power the disease continued to devour till the 22 1. when it began to decline, and it finally vanished on the 23 of December, 26 days after it had conimetscrd, and af 9,606 men who fell in this short period, by far the larger portion perished during the six days inc!utled be tiverb- the,l6th and the 92d of the month. A knowledge of the law of increase and decline leads to many practical deductions of great value to the medical philosopher. In the first place, it demonstrates that the people who are now indulging the hope that the decline sf cholera in Riga is the signal of its final departure from Europe labour under a mere delusion. Another city will soon be invaded and undergo.a similar ordeal. Extending the chain of reasoning previously pursued by the law of increase and decline which cholera observes, I come to the following general conclusions :- 1. That when the contagion of cholera enters a town, it rapidly excites the disease in all persons within the circle of its diffusion who happen to be at the time predisposed to the reception of the contagious miasm. 2. That the large majority of persons living within the range of diffusion, who remain safe during 20 or 30 days of the invasion, have become so accustomed to the external impression of the contagion as to be little liable to infec tion, or, if they should contract the disease, that it will go through a mild forgo. 3. That the predisposing causes are various—as debi lity, fatigue, however induced, intemperance, depressing mental affections, as fear and grief; in short, to establish a general rule (which is the only way to drive mystery, or rather confusion, out of medical science), whatever de• presses the vial powers predisposes in a greater or less degree to an attack of cholera. 4. That proportional to the intensity of the predisposi tion will be the severity of the disease. The justness of this conclusion is testified in a variety of ways. The poor Hindoos in India, who live on a meagre diet, consisting of rice only, were often destroyed by cholera in two or three hours; while European soldiers. although exposed to the same type of ti.e disease, contained in the same hospital, and under the same species of medical treatment, would survive twenty or twenty-four bouts. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, Solly Terrace, June 22. JAMES KENNEDY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES SIR,-Presurning the cholera morbus, which is making such dreadful ravages in the north of Europe, is the same as that epidemic cholera incident to India, I take upon me to assert, through your widely-circulating Journal, in cor roboration of the statement made by the Medical Boat d at Riga, that it is not infectious. I have witnessed the break ing out of this dangerous disease, and attended the patients affected by it in two European regiments stationed in India. I never had any orders from my senior officers to keep the cholera cases from the rest of the patients in the hospitals ; and surely they would have given them, if they had not been convinced by long experience that it was not infectious, even by actual contact. The first time that I saw this dangerous disease was up the country, during the cool months, at a station considered very salubrious. It then rapidly destroyed several very healthy-looking soldiers. The second time was at Bombay, in 1828, just before the Monsoon, when many of his Majesty's 6th Regiment, and also of the Hon. East India Company's Ist European Infantry, fell sacrifices to this scourge. The remote cause of cholera morbus is, and I fear ever will be, enveloped in mystery ; yet I presume it is some baneful matter with which the atmosphere is impreg nated, and which may be an exhalation from the earth. One would imagine it cause in a concentrated state, for the first cases are always most vio'ent, and, indeed, generally prove fatal, while towards its decline the symptoms are milder, and modified in appearance. The immediate effects of cholera on the human body, is a great determi nation of blood to the whole course of the alimentary canal, which generally causes a deadly effect on the whole nerv ous system, and brings on a train of symptoms so well known in India. Those who h lye seen the peculiar and amazing quantity of fluid poured into the intestines by those innumerable secreting vessels, the excessive sickness, the painful cramps, the sensation of heat in the abdomen, the constant thirst, the restlessness, the marked appearance of the countenance and fingers, the feeble slow pulse, the prostration of strength, the cold clammy perspiration, the peculiar expirations, and state of the blood, will never forget a cholera case. I was much gratified to find that the medical gentlemen in Russia had adopted a similar plan of treatment in principle to the one I advised in - India. I argued that if I could bring on re-action, determine the circulation to the skin, and cause that membrane to secrete naturally—that is, if I could make my patient perspire copiously, and feel hot—l had every chance of saving him, What I advised was to put the patient into a very hot bath, as hot as could be endured, and giving small doses of diffu. Bible stimuli, such as brandy, ammonia, &c. 1 once gave an emetic after taking my patient out of the hot bath, and with a most beneficial effect, as it caused him to break out into hot perspiration. After you have quieted the derange ment of the vascular and nervous systems, aperients ought to be given. Some constitutions are more susceptible to cholet'a than others. There are many predisposing causes —want of cleanlimss, improper diet, and, I would say, a most formidable one is fear, or enervated spirits. As an instance of this, 1 attended the wife of a recruit, who gave birth to a fine child. S-e was doing very well after four or five days, when the child died of cholera. The poor father attended the funeral of his child, and the same evening he and his wife were seized with the same dire dis ease and expired early next day without knowing of each other's indisposition. I cannot imagine that cholera 11101 bus can be communicated to this country by means of merchandise, &c., when the Abercrombie Robinson, and many other vessels, having had the disease on hoard, were allowed to enter the ports of Sincapore and China without having been put under quarantine, and even the natives of each place had free intercourse with all on board.

Remarks have been made in most of the public journals upon the harsh proceeding of committing a prosecutor, and he a foreigner to prison, together with the thief who robbed him, while most, if not all, the writers who have alluded to the subject, treat it as legal. —The truth, however, is, that such a commitment is altogether illegal and unwarrantable. The party in ques tion twing capable of becoming bound in recognizance to appear and prosecute, the Magistrate had only to take that course with him, and it was only on forfeiture of that undertaking that any penal consequences could attach to him.

At the same time, lam assured that the affairs at Belgium have alone prevented this step. from being taken at an earlier period, and that there is every prospect of an amicable arrangement of the Belgian revolution ; we may expect some decided measures on the part of France and Great Britain in the beginning of the ensuing month. S o far good. I pray most sincerely that we may not be dis appointed in these our just hopes, and that the Poles may riot have much longer to contend alone, for the liberty and happiness of all Europe, against the armies of the Czar. But I have another motive, and that a distinct one, in referring to this subject. It is this—to announce as a fact that the Poles will make no concessions—will come to no terms with the Autocrat of the North—will cede to Russia no portion of ancient Poland—will acknowledge no S-..- zerainete—Will pay no annual tribute to the Emperor as the purchase-money of their independence—will accept of uo Constitution from the Court of St. Petersburgh—will olmit of no half-and-•half arrangements, which are so papular with weak men, and so espoused by those who do not care fitr liberty, or nationality, or honour. It will be of no use for the London Protocolists to propose to the heroes of Warsaw that they should detach their cause from that of Lithuani Volhynia, the Ukraine, and Podolia.-- If the inhabitants of those provinces are resolved upon uniting themselves to Russian Poland, the brave descend •ants of Kosciusko will not refuse them, but will open their arms to receive them. The Poles do not desire to force an anion, or even to urge it, against the wishes of the inha bitants of those provinces ; because they better understand the nature of the human mind, and the fueling, uf the human heart. - Dui irthose revolutions be national (and they are so)—if all the Poles desire to unite themselve s together, to form one compact and formidable nation, the Polish Government will not listen for a moment to any proposition , ' which shall tend to sacrifice Lithuania and Volhynia, in order to secure the independence:of Russian Poland or the Duchy of Warsaw. I pray you, therefore, and through your columns I pray the other Journalists of Europe, to look at this Polish question full in the face, and not to conceal from yourself or your readers its importance and magnitude. It is no longer a qttestien of whether Warsaw shall be taken by Diebitsch, or shall remain the seat of the Polish Provisional Government— but whether the vast power of Russia, so barbarous, so enslaved and enslaving, so gigantic and yet so cruel, so formidable and yet ma despised, so dangerous anti menac ing, shall be reduced to more moderate proportions—shall, be counterpoised by the erection of a powerful anti inde pendent State—and shall no longer be able to disturb the peace and harmony which, but for Russia, might be per manent and general. To Great Britain this is an immense question; as well to Great Britain in Europe as to Great Britain in Asia. To France---liberal and constitutional France—it is of overwhelming importance. France does not, and ought not, to wish to extend her dominions either into Prussia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, or Spain. But France wishes to be free from menaces, from insults, from threat., from attacks either immediate or distant on the parts of Russia or Prussia. The true way to avoid thia is to assure to Poland her independence. But then it must be powerful, wit!: a sufficient population, with formidable and well defended frontiers ; anti with the means of exist ence within itself, independent alike of Russia and the world. And here allow me to touch a subject which I approach with great delicacy, but which must not be lost sight of. Part of ancient Poland now belongs to Prussia, and part to Austria: The Poles in Prussia are undoubt edly happy. The Government has been paternal, and bas taken considerable pains to secure to itself the loyalty of its Palish subjecrs. Nearly, though not quite as much may be said of the Poles in Austria. They are less happy than the Prussian Poles, but they are ten thousand times more satisfied than the inhabitants of Volhynia and Lithuania. Well, what are we to do with Austrian and Prussian Poland ? Shall we tear them away from Ansti is and Prussia, and unite them by force to the Russian pro vinces of Poland? I cannot answer this question in the affirmative; but, on the contrary, 1 am disposed to say no! And I will tell you why. If we have a right to tear away a province from Austria to unite to Poland, though the people have not revolted, or manifested any desire for the union, then tyrants have a right to divide Poland - , and annex portions of its territory to their re spective dominions. The doctrine of the sovereignty of the people decides all this, and that with justice and wis dom. That doctrine is this—What do the people say? And the answer is this—the Prussian Poles have not evinced any disposition to revolt, and the Austrian Poles are, on the whole, content. Should subsequent events demonstrate that either of these people demand their re union to'ancient Poland, when those events shall arise we must meet them with honesty, and decide on them with justice. But till then, we have only to do with Russian Poland, and the Russian ancient Polish provinces in re volt. If united into one kingdom, they will be sufficiently powerful both to oppose Russia, defend Austria, preserve peace, and maintain the balance of power. Well, then, let us not he beaten from this point. Let us stimulate our respective Governments even to war, if necessary, to tie cure this great treasure—this real settlement of Europe; and thus France and Great Britain will prove that the time is now come, " when they shall justify the order of the universe, and show themselves calculated for the pur pose of friendly intercourse, and mutual, and general bene volence." • France will do something for Poland ! You may be sure of this! The Sun is perfectly right when it says that Louis Philip is not made for the age in which he lives. He is kind-hearted, amiable, and even p itriotic. But he has not a master mind, nor the spirit of one who should direct and not be guided by public opinion. Louis Philip loves liberty, but it is the liberty of the Restoration—of a good honest Bourgeois, who has been accustomed to live at Neuilly and the Palais Royal in ease and affluence as the Duke of Orleans, and who cannot understand why now h: is K;ng be cannot be quite as quiet as when he was Duke. So Louis Philip is afraid of stirring for the Poles, lest he should be denounced by the Kings and Emperors of Europe as a friend to revolutions—and yet, believe me, when I tell you France will do something for Poland ! Ido not pretend to have the gift of prophesying any more than that I understand all mysteries, but I will take upon myself to say one thing, that if Poland should be crushed by Russian armies, and Warsaw fall into the hands of Paskcwitsch, the new Russian General.in-Chief, Louis Philip would be driven from the throne of France, and a revolution would then commence, which must l.ad to universal and long protracted warfire. France will do something for Poland.-211ornifly Chronicle. O. P. Q. DI VI NG.—Considerable curiosity was excited some days since by an announcement that Mr. DEA N was to descend from the Venus steam-packet to the bottom of a part of the river. The descent took place on Tuesday. from a boat moored off Sheerness Dock-yard, in about 20 feet water, on board of which was the necessary apparatus, and to which was affixed a ladder of sufficient length to reach the bottom. Mr. D. being equipped with a dres:, for the occasion, bad a hood, in shape much like a helmet, which bad several pieces of glass fixed in it, for him to see his way, and listened round the body ; a tube at the back part communicated with the apparatus in the boat, which supplied him with air. There were two bags of ballast fixed for the purpose of sinking him. Every thing being ready the descent down the ladder into the river took place. Much anxiety was evinced by many for the safety of the party, but from the cool manner in which he pro ceeded, it was evident he was no stranger to such trips; his progress under water was easily traced by the agitated state of the surface ; he must have walked many yards distance about the boat in different directions. After re maining under water twentv.five minutes, lie ascended, the ladder apparently as little affected as if he had only been walking on land. He was received with cheers by the company on board the Venus and Albion ; the latter ves sel having anchored for the purpose of witnessing this extraordinary feat. Mr. D. has a patent fur his inven tion, and there is not the least doubt that the recovery of property from a considerable depth would he perfectly practicable. lETERESTING HISTORICAL WORKS, &c. —(Just Published).—The French edition of Boca- RIENNZ'S Memoirs of BONAPARTE in five volumes, pub lished by Messrs.
