They unite every recom mendation of mild operation with successful effect; and re quireno constraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection: They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from ex cesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

The Berkshire Chronicle gives the follow ing correct copy of the Memorial addressed to the Duke of Wellington, by the Magistrates of Berks ; together with the answer returned by his Grace to Mr. Dundas (Copy) Reading, Jan. 13, 1830. MY LORD DUKE,—The Magistrates of the County of Berks, assembled at the General Quarter Ses sions at Reading, venture to intrude upon yonr Grace's attention, and to express the alarm and con. cern they feel at the great increase of crime which the discharge of their duties on the present occa sion has brought under their notice. They are un willing to attribute the melancholy circumstance to any other cause than the almost unprecedented state of distress under which all persons are at this time suffering. They feel confident that this arises chiefly from a general want of employment amongst the labouring classes, consequent upon the depressed state of agriculture and the trade. They therefore trust that they do not exceed the bounds of their duty, in earnestly entreating the serious attention of your Grace and his Majesty's Ministers to the sub ject,' in the hope that some effective measures may be devised for alleviating the distress which now presses so heavily upon the country.—l have the honour to be, my Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient Servant, CHARLES DUNDAS, Chairman. To his Grace the Duke of Wellington, &c. &c. ANSWER , . (Copy) London, Jan. 16, 1830. had the honour of receiving your letter of the 13th instant, written as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, by desire of the Magistrates of the County of Berks, assembled at their General Quarter Sessions, to express the alarm and concern which they feel at the great increase of crime, which the discharge of their duties has brought under their notice, which they are unwilling to attribute to any other cause than the unprecedented state of distress tinder which nearly all persons are suffering, which they felt confident arises chiefly from the general want of employment amongst the labouring classes, consequent upon the distressed state of agriculture and trade. I will submit this statement, of the observations, feelings, and opinions of yourself, and the Magis trates of the County of Bells, to his Majesty's Servants.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, Chas. Dundas, Esq. WELLINGTON. SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.-With feelings of regret we record the death of Captain LYON, of Boston, a man generally esteemed and respected, who lost his life in the dreadful gale of last week; he was master of the brig Aun, which has become a total wreck, the Yorkshire coast. According to the account re ceived, we learn that on Wednesday night the Ann went o I shore at Mapleton, four miles south of Hornsea, and • ton after became a total wreck. Besides Captain LYON, two of the crew, named HENRY HOCKFORD and ROBERT Tsityrrr, were also drowned; indeed only the mate escaped, and he states that he cannot describe how he got on shore; he appears to be totally unconscious of whether he was washed off by a billow, or floated on a spar. The bodies of Captain LYON and HACKFORD had been found ; the wreck was strewed along the beach, and the ship had gone to pieces. The mate, who communicates these melan choly tidings, adds that there are four more vessels on slime . near the same spot. --Lincoln .14rald. The preparations . for the new edifice of King's College are now considerably advanced, though . the ceremony called laying the first stone has not yet taken place, nor have we learned that the time . for, that imposing affair has been fixed, or the personage chosen upon whom the honour of the great deed is to devolve. -;" The King, God bless him," has now become a little too ancient for feats of that class r arid possibly his Royal Highness the Duke of .cyrnber land may represent Msjesty upon the Occasion. — Since the 7tb - of last September, 306'llaCiietn "the average nUmberscif men employed in e4tiViitihgtand laying the footiAtions, the greater part-ssf‘wshieh are DOW up to tW round level. For thoe• near the t Strand it bas' ' t been 'recess* to sink more' than about six feet;: or more than fontteen ' even close to the river. ',Like all building*Opon'a:dediVity, one enctof the edi&pe would contain a much greater. number of floors than the other, were it not arranged that the more qacious, apartments are . to be at the end of the building',. where the ground descends, namely, nex :the river, and the rooms of le,sse(di mensions at . 0 - north end. .. '._ -The hieh' shit . cifitei€ Will occirfr6isiiilitiht' between 50,000 and 60,000 square feet. On the south, it is bounded by the Thames, on the west by the east end of Somerset-house, on the north by the Strand; arid on the east by Strand-lane. From north to south it measures about 400 feet, and from east to west upwards of 150. Two houses in the Strand have already been bought and taken down, and, if insuperable obstacles do not nresent themselves, possibly others may hereafter be purchased. The contractor, Mr. Martin, has merely undertaken for perfccinis what is technically called the carcass—namely, the walls and roof, for which he is to receive somewhat upwards of 60,0001., the work to be completed within three years. • That time we should - humbly conceive would be more than sufficient for all, even to the most minute finishings of the interior, if expedition were the object. Mr. Beckford, of Fonthill, would get up such a building in half the time, even with out the aid of torch-light. But Mr. Marrin has his full three years, and may proceed with all the ecnnomy to which abundance of time is, in such undertakings, so eminently conducive. It has been proposed, we understand, to complete the interior portion of the building, not by contract, but in conformity with plans and specifications, the whole being subsequently surveyed, the actual prices of labour allowed, and also the trade prices of timber and other materials, with a per tentage on the tim ber, &c., but not on the labour, to Mr. Martin, or whoever else may be employed to superintend ; for the conductors are not bound to that gesttyman be yond the mere contract for the carcass. The site, as the reader must have already antici pated, precludes any exercise of architectural inven tion, or combination. It must be a fac simile of the one wing of Somerset-house, or it cannot be called into existence at all; that is, it must present to the river a short terrace and a pitiful little front of 80 or 90, or perhaps 100 feet, composed of an arch way, surmounted by a short colonnade of four small Corinthian columns, not fluted, with an advanced section of the building decorated with four pilasters; and this, at best, is to be the grand point of " King's College ;" for that which will run along the east end of Somerset-house, is probably to be built in conformity with the sides of the present quadrangle, of which that edifice is principally composed; and as it must stand in immediate proximity to Somer set-house, any thing like a noble or imposing effect is totally out of the question. Though there will be an entrance from the Strand, the spot occupied by the two houses recently pulled down affords no capabilities, as Brown would say; and thus the whole architectural character of this great national and metropolitan edifice is, its being a copy of an unfinished wing of Somerset-house ; anti its splen did triumphs dwindle into being nothing more or less than the new wing of that building. This ob servation is made from no feeling of hostility to the principle of the estaLlishment, and none can be more willing than we are to admit how highly desirable is that Somerset-house should be completed, but .... . _ the mere adjunct of a set of Government offices is not the sort of habitation in which the men who have lived in Oxford or Cambridge, Edinburgh, Dublin, or even Aberdeen, would expect to see a British University located. To the particulars given above, there remains little further to be added, except that the estimated saving effected by avoiding land carriage of mate rials, owing to the proximity of the river, will not be less than 5 per cent. upon the whole expendi ture. There are but three varieties of stone used — Portland, Yorkshire, and Scotch granite. The average number of masons employed is about 25, but more than SO or 100 will soon be called into activity. There are 47 bricklayers engaged.at pre sent, and their number also will be speedily aug mented. Much of the carpenters' work is done on Mr. Martin's own premises, but 12 or 13 carpenters are generally employed on the ground itself, with a few smiths and other artisar s. The payments average 300/. weekly, and the ultimate cost of the whole building will probably not be less than 250,000/. May it proceed and prosper, producing all the good which' its warmest advocates promise, and escaping the failure and misfortunes which its enemies, if any it can have, may possibly predict. In consequence of the state of the rocls, the time of the arrival of the stage coaches that pass through this city, has become quite a matter of uncertainty ; and by the provincial papers it appears to be the same through. out the kingdom. It is worthy of notice, that although some of the coaches have been six or seven hours behind time the Liverpool Mail has seldom lost more than half an hour.— Lichfield Mercury. The Calendar for the ensuing Wilts Lent As, sizes, contains already the names of 70 prisoners for trial many of whom are charged with very serious offences.— Bath Herald. WALES.--Rather an extraordinary occur rence has taken place at Llangollen, in the county of Den bigh, between a Jack Tar and a Knight of the Whip, on a curious question, viz. which of the two had the best claim to a spouse, both husbands being living? It ap pears that about the year 1818, a Cambrian lass being in service at Liverpool, and not before able to judge of the power of a first rate man-of-war, she after a short en gagement was persuaded to bear to, and be made his partner through life. But, in the course of a few months, Jack was " called to sea again," and did not return until after the late battle of Navarin, and being then paid off at Portsmouth, he took an inland cruize in pursuit of what he termed " his own." But on arriving at Llangollen, and making his demand (it being late at night), he found that his rib had deserted her pledge, and taken shelter un der the protection of the Knight of the Whip ! Tick was not to be outdone in a hurry; for he had not forgot the ' command of the kite Lord NELSON, at Trafalgar, that England expects every man to do his duty.' He there fore immediately attacked the enemy, caused him to re treat through the hatchway with the loss of ammunition, ac coutrements, &c. and took possession of the female with whom he had endured s uc h a short campaingn. .Poor Jack had not remained with her long before he ascertained that his vessel bad borne the Knight of the Whip two izes (children), which be could not deprive him of. Jack was hauled to account for the engagement—When after a fair and impartial investigation, he was declared to be the conqueror,, carrying with him his prize, to the great i grief, and mortification of the Knight of the Whip, who s left behind to bewail his loss--:Shrew,iburp Chronicle.; • LIEUTENANT-COLONELS , —J.

Saturday a Jury was impannelled at Guildhall, Westminster, before FRANCIS SMEDLEY, Esq , the Deputy High Bailiff, to award compensation to the lessee of the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, for the loss of her interest in the premises, which were re quited for. the improvements carrying on in that neighbourhood. Mr. ADAM, in addressing the Jury in support of the claim, said that the premises in question had been couveyed to the late Mrs. Beazley, and since her death they had been in the possession of her trus tees. The term fur which they were granted on lease was 23 years, 121_ of which were unexpired. It would be proved that a great number of coaches started from the yard fur all parts of the country ; and that a great number of passengers who arrived at the inn sojourned at the hotel during their stay in the Metropolis. The Jury, after consulting together a few minutes, assessed the compensation at 3,9001. The next case which came before the Jury was a claim made by Messrs. Grenville and Matthews, who occupy premises Nos. 161 and 17, King-street, St. James's-square. An offer was made by the Commissioners of 3,150/., which was accepted by the claimants. FRAUDS IN BREAD AND FLOUR. (FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) " PARIS, JAN. 20. " In several countries on the continent o Europe, and particularly in France and the Netherlands, the attention of Government has lately been directed to the important subject of the adulteration of bread. In the great towns of France, as well as in those of England, the evil has risen to such a height as to call imperi ously for some active and efficient remedy. In France, however, the evil is aggravated by an im• prudent interference on the part of the autho• rities in those departments of the trade of the baker which ought unquestionably to remain under the wholesome operation of free and un restrained competition. An assize is laid from fortnight to fortnight on the price at which bread is to be sold in the shops, for the ostensible pur pose of restraining it within moderate and rea sonable bounds, but which operates in effect as an obvious premium on the practice of adultera tion. In Paris the price of flour varies from 36 to 80 francs for 159 kilogrammes, which re duced into English currency is from a ld. to 24d. a pound. In fixing the assize the mean proportion between the current price of the best and the worst quality of flour is adopted as the criterion. In ordinary years the usual price of the four pound loaf is about twelve sous, or something less than sixpence. For the last two years however the price has been considerably greater, ranging from twenty down to sixteen sous, which last has been the established rate for these two months past. " As it is on the mean proportion between the first and last qualities of flour that the assize is calculated, so as to leave a reasonable profit to the baker, it is obvious that he cannot afford to make any material improvement on its quality without essentially interfering with his own re muneration. The intrinsic value of flour does not arise from its whiteness, but from the quantity of glutin it contains. In this respect there is an immense difference between the first and last qualities, the average of which is taken in striking the assize. It is to be presumed that here, as elsewhere, there are bakers of respec tability who have some little scruple about poison ing their customers; but if men of this character were to adopt the ratio on which the law is founded, taking equal quantities of the best and worst kinds of flour, and mixing them together hi making their ordinary bread, it is well known that the produce would be so dark in the colour, and so forbidding to the eye, as to make it un saleable. In Paris the r eg u lations of the police o i e n et t l l i i 3 o ie s d e bqyuatritieershoigfitlhere and d y of society, do not touch what falls tinder the d e n om i nat i on fl a y nd I have reason to I %'° n 'fl i fa C i l e d lil l: a r r a e i bread, ik c s hie be lieve that such of the bakers as have principle or less damaged by damp or otherwise, and it is well known that when such flour is admitted into .-. the batch of dough, its tendency is to impede the general fermentation of the. mass, to prevent it from rising, and to make the' bread close and heavy. . To - avoid such consequences, which would necessarily make . . the commodity un marketable, the Majority, and. I , fear the great majority,.Of bakers. have been driven to seek re- lief in the baneful alternative of adulteration ; and so successful have they been in.the perverse ap plication of some well-known chemical agents, that many of them have succeeded in *mak ing bread both light enough and white enough to please the most fastidious eye, with flour far below the average contemplated by law. " The abuse has been so great as to have at tracted the attention of the authorities, which • was first awakened by a memoir of M. Der heims, entitled Chemical Considerations on the Use of Sulphate of Copper in the Making of Bread.' This memoir was originally read before the Agricultural Society of St. Omer, and although its tendency is to excite some de gree of that alarm which was formerly called forth in London by the Death in the Pot' of Mr. Accum, yet the facts it discloses are of so interesting a nature that I must be pardoned drawing your attention to the subject. " In Belgium it appears that the U3C by the baker of sulphate of zinc and the sul- • phate of copper in making of bread, had become so notorious, that he was regularly and openly supplied with the poison by his neighbour the apothecary ; but the fatal accidents to which the practice had given rise has lately produced a law which appears to have been necessary for the purpose of specifically interdicting the use of these pernicious ingredients. From Belgium the practice passed into Flanders, where a num ber of bakers, although notoriously guilty, were, strange to say, acquitted by the police, on the ground that the magistrates were not legally vested with sufficient authority for the protection of the citizens from the contamination of their chief article of food by a deadly poison. " To obviate this insufficiency, an application was made to the Royal Academy of Medicine by M. Boisbertrand, to ascertain by actual ex periment the surest, easiest, and least expensive means of detecting in bread the presence of sul phate of copper, sulphate of zinc, and other de leterious ingredients with which it is most gene rally adulterated. The subject was referred to a committee, consisting of Messrs. Henry, De yeux, and Boutron, whose report is also very worthy of attention. It sets out with stating that the high price of flour during the years 1828 and 1829, has given rise to the mixture of the flour of potatoes, pease, beans, and haricots, or kidney beans, with the wheaten flour authorized by law. With such a mixture it is impossible to make the bread so white and open as it ought to be, and in order to give it the appearance of ordinary unadul terated wheaten bread, the baker has been ob liged to have recourse to these dangerous in gredients, for the purpose of whitening and rais ing it. Frauds of this nature are not new in the trade, since every writer on the subject has referred to them. Alum, magnesia, chalk, sub carbonate of potass, and even the sulphate of lime, have all been resorted to, for the purpose of making bread more white, firm, and porous. It is long since the sulphate of copper was first employed, but either because the doses admi nistered were small in quantity, or because the secret was tolerably preserved, it was long before it awakened the attention of authority. The investigation, however, which it has now re ceived in this country, and the application which is now to be made of scientific principles, for the purpose of affording an easy and popular test for the detection of the poison, cannot fail to be re garded as a great public benefit. I shall make it my business to watch its progress, and shall not fail to communicate the result of my ob- servations." An experiment is to be very shortly tried at Woolwich, to fire ship-guns by percussion, on a plan sub mitted by an officer of the Royal Navy, a resident in Hampshire. SHEEP.—Sheep perseveringly follow their. leader wberever he goes, but if, in cases of sudden alarm, any one of the flock runs forward to escape, and thus takes the lead, the rest generally follow him, regardless of any obstruction. Of this singular disposition Dr. ANDERSON informi us that he once witnessed an instance in the town of Liverpool. A butcher boy was driving about 20 fat wethers through the town; but they ran down a street along which he did not want them to go. He observed a scavenger at work .with his broom a little way before. them, and called out loudly for him to stop the sheep.— The man accordingly did what he could to turn their back, running from side to side, always opposing himself to their passage, and brandishing his broom with great dexterity ; but the cheep, much agitated, pressed forward,. and at last one of them came right up to the man, who, fearing that it was about to jump over his head whilst be was stooping, grasped the short broomstick in both bands, and held it over his head. He stood for a emit time in this position, when the sheep made a spring, and jumped fairly over him without touching the broom. The first had no sooner cleared this impediment than another followed, and another, in such quick succession, that the man perfectly confounded, seemed to lose all recollection, and stood in the same attitude till the whole had passed over him, not one attempting to pass on either side,' though the street was quite clear. As this took place during dirty weather, the man was entirely bespattered ~ver with dirt befo're they had all passed ; and it is imps -. Ode to conceive a more ludicrous appearance than the ; j .oue fellov made on this occasion. .—Berke Chronicle. _ Thi s day was published, Three Vols. foolscap livo. 218.
