THE FIRST NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE Price One Guinea, THE ORIENTAL ANNUAL, From Drawings of Scenes in India. BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, HAMILTON-PLACE , KING'S CROSS, NEW ROAD, LONDON. MESSRS. MORISON AND MOAT. British College of Health. CURE OF DROPSY, AND VARIOUS • COM PLAINTS. To Mr. SHEPHARD, Hygeist, Newcastle. Dear Sir, —I should not have either troubled you or myself with my testimony in favour of Morison's Pills after such overwhelming evidence ha s a l rea d y been laid before the public of their most extraordinary efficacy in the cure of all complaints to which the human frame is subjected, Lad it not been for the base calumny perseveringly thrown out against the Pills by a class of men from whom the public might have expected better things. I read, the other day, in one of the public journals, a charge preferred against the Pills for having poison-d a person. The truth or falsehood of the charge I, of sours-, at present, have no means of ascertaining, but I fully believe ti e charge to be false, and for the following reason :—My wife, about twenty years ago, got an asthmatical complaint, from the effects of sleeping in a damp bed ; the complaint gradually gained upon her constitution, until about twelve years ago, when the difficulty of breathing became so intolerable as day after day to cauee us to expect suffocation. She was principally confined to her bed ; was, for years together, not able to be without doors. She was regularly attended by the faculty, for same of whom I feel under lasting ob ligations on acconut of their solicitude to render her relief. Every means were tried that physicians and surgeons could devise ; they pitied, but could not help, except in giving temporary relief. From the time of her taking so ill till about the end of 1831—being about ten years—she had blood let by the lancet or taken by leecnes several hun. dreds of times, besides blisters applied to her chest, some times thrice in the week, these being the principal means from which she felt relief. During the year 1830 it was too evident that the dropsy had affected her weak and emaciated frame; she became much swollen, both in her face, bowels, and legs ; palpitation be came very painful; the Water was suspected to be col lecting near her Heart. The only expectation both by her family and a large circle of friends was her dissolu tion ; the Faculty gave it as their opinion that her com plaint had assumed such an aspect as to preclude the last ray of hope of her recovery. About this time, November, 1831, I was often urged to give her Morison's Pills, but being an enemy to what is called Quackery, 1 could not be prevai'ed on, until I had purchased and read the " Morisoniana," in which Morison describes the true cause of all complaints, and the means of cure by the Pills. I was delighted with his theory. I hesitated no longer to try the Pills on my Wif , , who was anxious to take any thing likely to relieve her sufferings. In December, 1831, she commenced taking the Pil s ; first in sm,ll numbers, and as she gained strength of body she increased the number from five to twenty occasionally in the day. It is a remarkable circumstance that the Pills, which are a strong purgative, were the means ot greatly increasing her strength. During the early part of 1832 the Dropsy gave way to the powerful effects of the Pills, and by the latter part of the year, and up to this day she has not bad the slightest symptom of relapse. During 1832, little effect had been produced on her asthmatical complaint, but during this year, by the providence ot God, she is greatly improved. She cats now attend to her domestic concerns; can take her rest at night; and is able t‘cca ,ii„nilly to walk three and four miles a day ; she is a wonder to all who knew her. Whether ever she may be perfectly cured seems a doubtful case, from the length of time the eflmplaint was suffered to prey upon the consti tution. It is now just two years since s' e commenced taking the Pills, and has only omitted taking them two days during that time. The number taken exceeds 9 000 ! ! How is it then that she is not poisoned ? This is my reason for believing the charge preferred against the Pills to be false. I leave my name and address with you, and am willing to refer inquirers, if any, to families of great respectability, who will corroborate the above statement ; and am willing, either verbally or by letter, to answer any inquiries. lam not an egent for Morison, and have no other interest whatever in recommending the Pills, than a firm persuasion of their powerful and harmless (not poi sonous) effects, in eradicating disease of every kind from the human system. . _ _ I will further state I was much troubled with what was said to be a liver complaint, and was treated accord ingly by taking large doses of calomel, which very much impaired my health. I tried the Pills, and in about a week my liver complaint left me, and I have felt no more of it since this took place, twelve months ago. One of -- my sons became very dull of hearing, which continued to get worse, until he took the influenza, when it was raging in this neighbourhood ; he had a most violent attack. He bad a sore throat, which cawed great difficulty in swal lowing, and rendered it difficuk to get him to take the Pills. The complaint kept increasing for three days; he was in a high state of fever and delirium ; we then made a desperate effort to administer the Pills; on the fourth morning he took fourteen No. 2, and evening fifteen ditto, and the same quantity the next morning. During that day the fever had quite subsided ; he was able to come down stairs, with a good appetite; and what seemed to delight him roost, he could join in the general conversa tion, having exchanged the fever for his hearing. Another son who had from his infancy been delicate, was in the practice of frequently taking calomel, to correct his bowels. I administered the Pills to him; since, he has been quite healthy; never requires any medicines unle,s he catches cold, when he takes three or four Pills at bed time and is well the next morning. From what I have experienced I am decidedly of the opinion that persons are not susceptible of taking cold while under the me dicine. It is now my duty to thank you for your very kind attention to my family, in visiting them to encourage them to take the Pills, for want of persevering in taking them has been the cause of many failures. Wishing you great success in your most important sphere, in which, by the providence of God, you have b: en placed, I take my leave of you at present, promising, however, if need require, to make some disclosures which will set the public on their guard against believing many aspersions that have been raised against the medicines. I remain yours most respectfully, Newcastle, December 24, 1833. P.S. Language fails to describe the awful suffering state of the lady, whose case is above described ; I have seen her sitting up for weeks together, not being able to lay down for fear of soil:cation ; and in that awful state of extreme weakness has taken large and powerful closes, three times a day, of No. 2, and vet, with all this purga tion daily gained strength. Amongst a numerous circle of friends her case is deemed nothing short of a miracle, and yet the pleasing prospect is she is daily gaining strength. I would fearlessly challenge all the M. D.s with all their nostrums to produce a case equal to the one above, with numbers more, which bad been given up by the M. D.., who are now enjoying good health, who are sounding the fame of the Universal Medicine, but for causes, best known to themselves, decline coming forward in this ferred o public way, but are willing at any time to he r e - t.

Persons who wish to have Current Accounts with the Bank, without being under the necessity of keeping a balance, may, instead thereof, p ry to the Bank a certain sum annually for the management of their account as may be agreed upon. The Bank will receive permanent lodgments in sums from 101. to 1,0001., at the rite of two per cent. per annum. For these sums receipts will be granted, called Deposit Receipts. If the amount be withdrawn within three months no interest will be allowed. Sums above 1,0001., lodged on Deposit Receipts at interest, will be made the subject of a special agreement. No interest will be allowed on the balance of any Cur rent Account. Deposit Receipts are distinguished from Current Ac counts. Cheques cannot be drawn against a sum lodged on a Deposit Receipt, but when the sum, or any part thereof, is withdrawn, the Receipt itself must he produced at the Bank and delivered up. P,rties respectably introduced, not having an account with the Bank, may, nevertheless, have their Bills dis counted, or loans granted to them, upon approved secu rich s.

CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION INQUIRY. (Mr. Woodthorpe's examination continued from The Sun of yesterday.) In the different companies there are a Master, Prime Warden, Assistants to the Wardens, Liverymen, and the Yeomanry, commonly called Freemen of the Company, a Clerk, or one or more Beadles. Tire Court uf Lord Mayor and Aldermen has beets called the great Court of Assistants of all London, and the Lord Mayor has been &legated Master of all the Companies. In 1681 it was considered a burden to take up the livery. and is still so considered; but the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen has the power of compelling persons to take up their livery in the companies to which they belong. Mr. Wood thorpe quoted several cases, all of them tending to show the power of the Court of Lord M.yor over the assistants, and to prove that it was also a Court of Appeal. By an order of 1697, it was established that no person should take up the clothing of the twelve great companies unless he had an estate of 10001.. nor of the inferior companies, unless he were possessed of 5001. He mention-d a case of the Plasterers' Company, In which their Warden was discharged by the Court of Lord Mayor, and another Warden ordered to be appointed in his stead. In 1742, it was decided that it was not necessary that the Lord Mayor shculd belong to any one of the twelve great Companies. Mr. Franks here stated, in answer to a question from a G.mmissioner, th it the twelve great companies were ar ranged as follows :--The Mercers, Grocers, Drdpers, Goldsmiths, Skinnerg, Merchant Tailors, Fishmongers, Haberdashers, Ironmongers, Salters, Cloth Workers, and Vlntrivrs. Mr. Woodthorpe's examination resumed—Until the case a Alderman Brown, Aldermen always took the highest station in their respective Companies There was no order to compel Companies to place Aldermen upon their Court of Assistants, but it was the usual practice to pl tce them upon the Court. By way of illustrating the annoyance to which freemen are liable in being compelled to take up their livery, Mr. Woodtitorpe mentioned th ,t a citizen, whose name was Swinburne, and who was free of the Wheelwright's Company, set up the trade of egg seller—eggs naturally led to the sale of poultry, and he added the sale of sucking-pigs, pork, and bacon. The Poulterers' Company called upon him to take up his freedom among them, to which lie consented. The butchers then came and asked him to take up his freedom in their Company ; to this he also assented. Alter this the Poulterers came upo❑ hint, and called upon him to take up his livery in their company, he refused to comply with the call, whereupon the Poulterers brought an action against him in the Court of Common Pleas. The miter was referred to the law officers of the Crown, but they have not as yet given their opinion upon the case. In the mean time Mr. Swinburne remains satisfied with being simply free of the Wheelwright's Company. The follow ing list of the numbers of some of the livery companies were then read ; with the dates of the first grants, and the increase that has since taken place in their numbers : The Felt-makers were first constituted a lively in the year 1793 ; their numher not to exceed 60. Toe Needle maker's Company was first constituted on 10th 1114rch, 1712, their numbers to be 50 ; which was further increased to 75, on the 24th July, 1758. The number of the Felt-makers Company was, on the 3d April, 1787, increased from 60 to 120. The Silk-throwsters' Company was formed in Novem ber, 1792, and their number at first limited to 100. The Card-makers were formed into a Company at the same time, and their number not to txceed 100. On the came day (27th Nov. 1792) the number of the Wheelwrights' Company was increased from 100 to 150. On the 20th June, 1809, the Tin-plate Workers' Com pany was increased from 60 to 120. The Fanmakers' Company was constituted on the same day ; their number not to exceed 60. The Company of Comb-makers was constituted on the Slat October, 1809 number limited to 60. On the same day the Spectacle-makers were formed into a company ; number not to exceed 60. The Clock-makers obtained their first grant on the let July, 1766 ; their number not to exceed 60. The Tin Plate-workers' Company was first constituted in the sear 1776; their number to be 60 The Wheelwrights' Company obtained their first grant in 1777 ; their number not to exceed 100. The Gun-makers' Company was first constituted in the year 1778 ; their number to be fixed at 100. The Gold and Silver \V re-drawers obtained their grant in July, 1780; number not to exceed 100. The Shipwrights' Company was f , rined on the 8 b of Ootober, 1782 ; number limited at 100: and the number of their Livery was further increased, in April, 1830, to 200. In 1786 the number of the Clock-mikers' Company was increas,d from 60 to 120. On the 25th June, 1810, the Clock.makeri were further increased, from 120 to 200. The number of the Wmelmights' Company was, on the 4th Nov., 1817, again inci - easAfrom 150 to 250. Mr. Woodrhorpe here remarked that many Companies increase their number as they please, without obtaining any grant to authorise them to do so. The Stationer: Company was first formed in February, 1544, by the 2d of Pitdip and Mary, on an application tram one Keywood and other " sad" (grave) freemen of the city of London, praying that they might be allowed to wear a livery and hoods, and accompany the Lord Mayor in such decent guise as the other Liveries did. Their number w.s not limited. Mr. Woudthorpe held that no Livery Con - ,pany was hunted as to its number of liverymen. Tll.- Fishmongers' Livery was open to every freem .n of the Company. In 1822 the number of the Spectacle-makers' Company was loerea•e'l to 200. . . The Glass-8 Hers' Company wasp in February, 1825, increased io 120. . . The Woolinen were constituted a Livery on the 29th of March, 1825 ; their number not to exceed 60. The Bt•ket Alakers' Company was tortn e d on the same lay, a,ol their nuo.ber to 30. In 1626 the Clock Mtkers' Comp toy increased to 250. Mr. Woodthorpe then steed that there were man, Companies who had no Livery: there were six who mate The CHAIRMAN, who is a creditor to the amou of 7.50/., observed, that sho,tly after the Tat d'Hate was opened, several coff.e•house keepe met at the Belle Sauvaee Inn, and came to ti resolution, that any tradesman who supplied 11 , 1 Leech with goods, whether for cash or cred should be deprived of their (the Coffee-house kee ers') custom. A more disgraceful combination never heard of, and he was sorry to observe th such a paltry spirit prevailed among the citizens London. The ruin of Me. Leech was the result their combination, which appeared to have been ti intention of those who engaged in it, but they di not recollect that in crushing Mr. Leech, they al, crushed many persons who had claims upon him. A CREDITOR inquired if the names of the persoi who attended that meeting were known? A mee ing of that kind appeared so extraordinary that I could scarcely believe it took place. A CREDITOR knew a tradesman between Flee street and Sr. Paul's, who had very reluctantly be obliged to close his account with Mr. Leech, in cn sequence of the resolution of the meeting at the B Sauvage. Another CREDITOR knew two tradesmen wl had declned serving Mr. Leech under similar c! cumstances. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that the combinatil had not only influenced tradesmen in the neig bourhood, but two of the principal brewers, of whc Mr. Leech was anxious to have beer and ale for customers, refused to supply him, on the ground th the licensed victuallers in the neighbourhood of jetted to it. Mr. Leech was, therefore, compelll to purchase ale and s►out at a high price,and retail it aT scarcely any profit. A CREDITOR squired if Mr. Leech had any pal tiers in the concern ? The CIIAIR3IAN said, that a promise of party( ship had been made by an individual, whose co duct had principally caused the difficulty and which Mr. Leech laboured. The person to who he alluded became acquainted with Mr. Leech wh dining at the Tdble d'Hote. In the course of co h w e e doing t o of an h immense e quantity upontit y h o i m f , business, the svht versation he remark e d t h at Mr. L eec h appeale , l and he advis him, therefore, to take a partner. Mt. Leech sd I,e was anxious to make such an arrangement will person who could assist him. The individual th said he would join in the partnership, and advan about 4,0001. The arrangement having been age upon by bo h parties, the partnership articles wc prepared under the direction of the intend I,aritier, who sent Mr. Leech wine to the ainou of about 4001. and advanced him a sum of 35 Before the time arrived for executing t partnership articles, he said to Mr. Lee( "As life is so uncertain, you may as w give me something as a security for the wine a money; and he th e n . proposed a bill of sale and warrant of attorney for both guTainrs . , - W7177e111 Leech executed in full confidence the partners( would be carried into effect. But witat was t result ? The very next day judgment was enter upoN the bill of sale, and a man placed in possess' of the premises. These proceedings, he ne, scarcely state to the meeting, had greatly injur the business of the house. Some of the creditors inqoired if Mr. Leech w prepared to make any proposition to the credito If it was DN. or 54. in the pound, they wou cheerfully accept it. The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Leech had a 1 mily of eight children ; he knew Mr. L ech had 1 resources left to enable him to make any offer to t creditors. The Messenger in the Bankruptcy Court advise that the hou-e should be kept open till the 11 instant, the day appointed for the first mee►in when tenders for the premises should be advertise for. He knew that many persons were anxious obtain the business and the premises, and cons quently would offer a high price for them. The proposition was agreed to, and the meetit separate(' TH PROJECTED ABATTOIR AT ISLINC TON.—Mr. Perkins, of Bletchingly, Surrey, announc his intention of applying for an Act to enable him to car his well-known and important project into executit with power to hold a market at the same place, for t sale of cattle, hay, straw, corn, malt, and hops.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an it quest was held at the Cherry Tree, Bromley, Midelese: before Mr. Baker, Coroner, on the body of Mr. Thom Studd, a middle aged man, who had for many years he: a situation in the East India Compsny'a warehouse, Somerset-street, Aldgate, who was found drowned in tl New-cut, a branch of the river Lea. John Butcher, , Prospect-place, Bromley, has known the deceased eigl years, and during the last six years had been employed i toe same warehouse with him. In consequence of tl late alteration in the Eist India Company's charier, tl deceased expected to be pensioned off next April, and th circumstance had preyed upon his mind and affected h spirits.

Tlrr hat wt placed on the handle of the umbrella, and the coat was no , . the hat, and covered the umbrella, and to the supertici o bserver gave the appearance of some one sitting on th bank. He looked about to se if there was any person own the things, but not seeing any body, he immediate] suspected that some one bad drowned him elf. He set his companion tor the drags, and searched the pockets the oat and found a letter, addressed r Mr. Thom Studd, next the Back Swan, Bow," where he knew th deceased lived, and he then thought his friend hid cute nutted suicide. The drags were soon brought, sever: other persons assembled, and in a few minutes a bodl which he recogniz .d as that of the deceased, was brougi out. He had his dress on except his hit. There were n marks of violence ou the body, nor any appearance of s ruggle on the bank, and his c.otties were No care .u , l placed, that it pr-chided the Wert of his having been tore, ,nto the water. He had no doubt chit the deceased ha drowned himself. The Jury returned a verdict that deceased was loan I drowned in the river Lea, uut how b was drowned there was no evidet.ne before them.
