'tis Birmingham renown'd afar At once for half-pence, and for Doctor • Pursuits of Literaturei p. 222. SIR,—By your paper of ycsterdry I find. Mr. Muntz proposing to set everthiug right in the monetary world by having ss. 2d. of the silver coin melted down and coined into seven Little shillings and a little sixpenny piece, and explains that why he adopts 751.6 d. as the denomination for the ounce of his new silver coin, is that it appears to be generally acknowledged that7s. Gel. is a renumerating price for a bushel of wheat; and thus, by this presto movement, making an old half-crown a three-shilling and ninepenny piece instead of a two and sixps - Ainy one, and giving two of those old I:all-crowns instead of threeibr a bushel of wheat at Is. dd., he fancies that the thriller will obtnio his I .

SMITH, Glasgow. " GENTLEMEN, —I have been troubled for years with a dreadful palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all to no purpose, till I heard of PARR's wonderful LIFE PILLS, and a friend of mine desired me t) try them, which I did. I bought them of Mr. Nelson, and I am happy to say that a box of them has completely restored me. "If this will do anything to help your efforts you can make use of it.

CASH wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S PILLS, and Ikeis assured they have been the means of saving his life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers is this neighbourhood. " DEAR SIR,—I have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, so that I could scarcely eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able to lie down for nine months; having had the advice of several medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away with a violent pain In my head ; at last my friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. Witness—John Thorpe." " Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eyes for twelve years, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least /pellet, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his eyes arc quite well, and have been for some time. " Mrs. SMITH has been troubled with a pain in her head for many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box to persons troubled with a sick head-ache; I shall always have a supply by me. " These cases I have selected from a number of other., and can rely upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in giving every information to any person who may favour me with acall.

For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in my head and stomach. I think I may vesture to say I have not had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely sone,• and the most agreeable perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had the .:deice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I had dispaired of ever again regaining my healLh, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I canaot do sufficient for the benefit 1 have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged arid grateiul servant, " YENRY NASId.

" Mr. Ainsworth opens his new tale of ' St. James's, or the Court of Queen Anne,' with much animation and directness of purpose, bringing us at once, and without ceremony, jut° the company of some of his leading personages. Mr. Ainsworth has been singularly fortunate in his choice of subject ; and his dexterous introduction of the wily adventurer Guiscard will give him an opportunity, in due course, of exhibiting his admi rable descriptive powers to advantage. The dialogue between Marlborough and his wife, where Abigail is the theme of their discourse and the object of their suspicion, is in the author's most natural and forcible manner, being a correct index to elm.. racter—the greatest recommendation that dialogue can possess. Charles Other's Benighted Traveller' is told so pleasantly, that it is impossible to read it without interest.

TIIE ESCAPE FROM NOTTINGHAM GAOL.--We learn from the police, just as we are going to press, that one of the escaped convicts, or a person supposed to be one, has been apprehended at a distance from Nottingham of nearly two hundred miles. Whitworth, the constable, has been dis patched to prove the man's identity. It is supposed to be Smith. —Nottingham Review. "Junius" s .ys, "'The balance equally prepon derates, whether you take from one scale or add to the other." Now what I would suggest would be, not as Mr. Aiwa:: would do, take , frotra scale, viz„ dockia7 off one-third of the silver from a shilling', but I woald adapt a new itrtpc - rial pint, the capacity of which should be one third larger than the present one, and that there should be the same number of pints as in the present imperial bushel, it is very clear that the new bushel would be one-thh.d larger than the present one; now, according to Mr. Muntz, a little shilling is as good as a large shilliug ; time only thing necessary being that it shall be a shilling by name—no matte: about its pondero sity. Now, my new measure will still be a ! bushel; and as it will still be a bushel, no matter as to its capacity, this very simple alteration I feel perfectly satisfied will insure the corn-grower 7s, Gd. per bushel for his wlreat, even against all free trade in corn, Leaguers and else. Both coins and bushels are measures—the former of ponderosity, the latter of capacity ; therefore, if there be any truth the assertion of " Junius," it matters not ‘vhether we take one third from the coin or add orne-third to the bushel. Don't hint one word about. my having an intention to make a spec. before4l..and in thee pur chase of tithe-rent charges—neitber does Mr. Muntz say one word that his proposition amounts to paving off all old debts at 13s. Id. in the pound. No one scarcely thinks now-a-days for him self as to what are the common principles and operations 'of money; therefiwe, they are the more easily gulled. People little think that the alteration in the weight of coins would make no difference whatever in regard to all contracts made and entered after the issue of a new light coin, as all agreements would be made on time foot of the new measure of the coin; but when old contracts are to be discharged its the tale of the new light coin, it amounts neither more . norless than to a diabolical robbery.—Yours. GORDIUS. Ilfracombe, January 4, 1814. NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN LAMBETH. This builcing, which is ,ituated in the Westminster-read, near the Blind Asylum and Ilethleh em H osp i ta l, i s rap idl y approaching completion. The foundation-stone was laid in April, 1840. It is the largest ecclesiastical edifice devoted to the Roman Catholic worship that has been constructed since the Reformation, when Henry VIII. destroyed and reduced the majority of the Catholic establishments. Its external dimensions ale 250 long, by 84 feet wide. The height of the tower at the west end at present is 60 feet, but when com pleted its extreme elevation will be 331) feet above the ground level. The tower is most substantially built of Caen stone, its walls averaging nine feet in thickness. The tower will be surmounted by a steeple, built after the pattern of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral, and will be termi nated by a large cross. The interior height of the church, from floor to ceiling. is 57 feet. The length of the nave in the clear is 160 feet, by 72 feet broad ; the chancel is 40 feet long by 25 feet broad. The chancel window is very large, measuring 31) feet. by 18 feet ; the mullior,s are of oak, with rich foliage ; he interstices will be filled with stained glass of various colours, containing an emblematical representatioei of the history and passion of our Lord. It is the gift of the :Earl of Shrewsbury, and will cost 5001. The church contains, in all, 28 win dows. The roof is constructed of carved, stained tim ber, which will be stencilled in various colours and devices. It is supported by two rows of fluted stone pillars, consisting of eight in each row. The pillars are eighteen ilset in height, and will be finished by capitals elaborately wrooglit in fine stone, carved in rich foliage, and connected one w;th another by small intereolumniat ions, in the form of arches, rising from the capitals to the rafters. The floor of the nave and aisles will be covered with red and blue Staffordshire tiles, each the measuring six inches in the square. The interior of the Church is not obstructed by galleries ; the only projections are• the organ-loft and two sting galleries for the choir over the two side doorways at the east. end. No pews or closed seats will be allowed, but open benches will be placed down the aisles, constructed with low backs, so as to afford an unobstructed view of the interior. The seats will yield ample at:commode tien fer boo persons. The bare cost of erecting the cathedral will be 40,000/., but it is expected that a sum of 100,0001, will be necessary to complete all the contemplated embellishments and improvi ments. At the east end of the church is a large sacristy, and adjoin ing, at the north-east corner, are cloisters, which connect the edifice with a presbytery, containing a spacious dining-room, and affording accommodation for several priests. Abutting on this is a convent for the Sisters of Mercy, and a school for 300 children. The convent is tilted up with kitchens, refectory, dormitories, a small chapel with a belfry, and will furnish an abode for thirteen Sisters of Mercy, whose charity and kind offices will be distributed indiscriminately among the members of all religious denominations who may need assistance. The convent, with its accompanying buildings, will cost 7,0001. The entire ed.fice is built from the design of Mr. Pugin, under the superintendence of Mr. Myers, who, during the last ten years, has been engsged in the construction of 37 churches. The cathedral will lie consecrated and opened for public worship in the autumn of the present year ; but a considerable time must necessarily elapse before the great tower and spire shall be completed. The subscriptions to wards this great undertaking - have, for the most part, been raised in the provinces through the exertions of the Rev,. rend Mr. Doyle, who is the principal offiziating priest. The Earl of Shrewsbury and the late Mr. Benjamin George Hodges have been the principal contributors. A considerable gum has also been subscribed by the poorer classes inhabiting the parish of St. George. The names of the King of Snrdinia, the King of Bohemia, and other foreign Potentates, also figure largely in the list of contributors. A liberal donation is ex pected from Louis Philippe, the King of the French, who, during his stay in •England, was a resident of St. George's parish. The cathedral is the largest structure in Great Bri tain that has been erected by voluntary subscriptions. DARING BURGLARY. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 3,—About two o'clock this morning a daring burglary was committed on the premises of Mr. Richard Hicks, No. 2, I3ilbury-street, in this town. occupied by him in carrying on the business of wine and spirit merchant. It appears that the office was closed and the doors of the premises were secured by the person charged with that duty, about eight o'clock last night, who then left, as was'cus tomary—no person sleeping on the premises. At about two o'clock this morning a noise was heard by an individual residing in Morley-street, which is near the hack of the premises, such as would be occasioned by very heavy blows en some substance capable of strong resistance, but. as this noise soon discon tinued, no further notice was taken of it by the neighbour. But this morning, on Mr. liieks's servants proceeding to open the premises, it was at once perceived that some party or parties had entered them through a doer at the back, near Charles street, and then proceeded to the office, where an iron sale had been dislodged from the wall, where it had been fixed with masonry, and carried away. On proceeding to the open yard behind the premises it was discovered that the iron safe had been taken thither, and there broken to pieces by blows from a large stone, which was lying with the pieces, and its contents taken out and looked over, and a portion taken away. The safe contained a number of papers and a bill for SOL , which became due this day, and cash in notes, gold, and silver to the amount of 651. 16s. The papers and the bill remain , and were found strewed about near the mutilated safe, but the whole of the cash is gone. The policeman on the beat in which the premises arc situate heard nothing whatever of the matter. It appears that it takes him upwards of_ one boy to N go his rounds, the beat being an extensive one. o elueexista to trace the depredator or depredators, but the police . are on the alert to discover them if possible. The manner in which this burglary was effected, shows that it was the work of a practitioner in such daring acts. It appears that it was first attempted to pick the lock of the street door—that, however, not succeeding, recourse was had to the back door, for the pur pose of gaining admission to the premises. Lying with the broken safe was found a pair of thread gloves of dark colour, and a piece of wax candle, no doubt used to give light in se lecting from the contents of the safe, and then dropped. SUICIDE THROUGH DISTRESS. VOTE or CENSURE BY A J U RT. —On Thursday morning, at ten o'clock, an inquest was taken before Mr. G. Mills, Deputy- Coroner, at the Grev-hound, New Compton-rtreet, Soho, on ♦iew of the body of Jonathan Butler, aged 44, a tailor, who committed suicide. It was proved in evidence, that the deceased, who, with his wife and six children, lodged at 17, Phenix-street, Soho, got up on the morning of Tuesday last, and hung himself, but was but down before quite dead by Mr. Hingwell, his landlord, who immediately sent for Mr. Cooper, surgeon, Moor -street, and that gentleman said he would be on the spot in a few minutes; but not coming fur some time, Hingwell sent again, and the reply was as before. Having waited fully twenty minutes 'Mr. Marshall, surgeon, of the same street, was called in, and he failed in restoring animation, remarking that if he had been sent for sooner the man's life might have been saved. It was shown that the deceased and his family were in great distress ; he could only get police work, and earned less than eight shillings a week, with eight mouths to feed and hacks to cover. A good deal of indignation was expressed by the jury at the conduct of Mr. Cooper, and that gentleman was sent for. He said, when the first message arrived he was dressing up stairs, and that he had de•ircd the messenger to obtain other aid, as it would be some time before he could attend. This statement was immediately denied by several witnesses. Mr. Addams (the foreman) then observed, that Mr. Cooper's explanation had but confirmed the. opinion entertained by, hist previously. He would ask Mr. Cooper whether, as an act of humanity, it was not his duty to have hastened with all iliee d, like Mr. Marshall, to render his assistance.. Had he done sO. the life of a fellow-creature would most probably have be e preserved. He (the foreman) was not disposed to eomprOnsi e such facts, and he should, therefore, recommend his bred her jurymen, by a show of hands, to manifest their abhorrence of such unfeeling proceedings. The jury assented to the proposition; and unanimously ' ls ►1 i up their hands. Mr. Cooper, with considerable emphasis, yeßlied. _ . • The jury found, " That the deceased. hung himself, bet s the time in a state of mental derangeme itt THE MUD PAVEMENTS.—The authorities of S Marylebone havegiven notice to the inhabitants, that, h Local Act of Parliament is not complied with as far as r e r : o the cleansin of the foot pavements every morning, the pens r neglect t o do so will be enforced.
