Dr. Eady will not presume to pledge infallibility in every description of case, but - as far as human aid, assisted by medical and surgical shill can be ap plied, be promises a certain, speedy, and permanent restora tiOn ; having made every species of Syphilitic affection, and its various train of diseases, the primary objects of his profes sional studies, and being flattered by the transcendant success which has accompanied his mode of treatment during the course of a long 'and laborious practice, be is enabled to offer, with the fullest confidence, pretensions at once the most hope ful and encouraging. Innumerable instances can be adduced illustrative of the superiority of Dr. Eady's system, which has been found to prevail, even where eminent talent, retained by public institutions, has been ineffectual. In addition to those consolatory advances, Dr. Eady will be found equally fortunate in reviving the slumbering and debilitated energies of the human constitution, which embitter, and if not timely arrested, frequently render 'nugatory the very principal of existence. Prom this desolating state of inanity and sterility, by re-animating the frame and affording tone and elasticity to the relaxed organs, Dr. Eady is happy to convey the most cheering and positive assurances that the sufferers of both sexes may he 'rescued;" a steady perseverance in the means dictated being only required.—Dr. Eady is consulted daily, at his house,.3B, Dean-street, Soho, by patients of both sexes.— Country letters meet respectful attention. 38, Dean Street, Soho, is a private House, opposite Meaid's Street ; oneend of Dean Street leads into Gerrard Street, nearly opposite the General Tito-penny Post Office, and the other into Oxford Street—Advice gratis - to the Poor.

The Russian frigate Wostock, Captain Hellenhousen, and a sloop of war, were at New South Iceland in February last, on a survey. Captain Henfield, of the Catharine; writes from New Shet land, Feb. We have been much mistaken about sealing in this country, as there is but little ground that the 'seals come upon ; and a greater number ofvessals after them than we sup posed there would be. The country is a wild, cold, disagree able mass of snow and ice : and its shores are extremely dan gerous. In entering this harbour , the ship Clothier struck on a reef of rocks and was totally lost. The following persons belonging to the Catharine were drowne4 by the upsetting of the boat at Falkland Islands :—Henry Perry, Thomas Pome roy, Nahum Haynes, and Cory Manchester." A letter from . .Mr. DANIEL W. CLARK, 'mate of the brig Hersilia, of Stonington, to the Editor of the New Haven Jour nal, dated at Port Williams, New South Shetland Islands, Feb. 18, furnishes the following information : • ' " We arrived at these Islands on the 31st of October, after a pleasant passage of 35 days. • " We are now loaded 'with fur skins, having taken upwards of 1.8,000 of superior quality ; being anxious to obtain a Second voyage before I return to the' United States, we have agreed to send our voyage home by the schooner Express and brig Frederick;-Pendleton, both of Stonington, then to proceed. around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean, in search of a se cond cargo, which I doubt not will be obtained soon. As fbr getting another cargo in these islands, it is utterly impossible, tor there is scarcely a seal left alive. The country is full of vessels from most quarters of the globe, and I am certain that one half of theni,will not obtain half a voyage. Our being the first vessel in the country, and getting possession of the best ground, is the reason why we succeeded in a valuable cargo: " There are now lying in this port 12 sail of American ves sels ; among the number is the ship Huron, Davis of New Ha ven, who has made out rather indifferently. Where they are next bound, I am not able to . ascertain ; but they, as well as ourselves, must push off soon, on account of the severity of the approaching season. There is scarcely a day passes without snow, hail, or rain, although Midsummer with us ; and ice makes every night. In truth, it is a climate I am glad to leave. We have already had accounts of nine sail of .Snglish vessels being lost in these islands; and one American ship called the Clothier, from Stonington, Con. How many others are lost that We have n&accotints of,. God only knows. _ _ • The brig Aurora, of New York, has lately arrived here; I understand she has been looking Tor these islands nearly two months. " Perhaps the American dealers in fur skins have an idea that this country will be overstocked with skins, anti that they will be bought for little or nothing; but I can assure them they will be mistaken; for I am certain at least six sail of American vessels will be obliged to seek for a cargo in some other parts. " This harbour lies in about 62 deg. 30 S. la, and 0 deg. 5 W. long. We have been.as far south as 66 degrees, and found land. Ilow'rriuch further the land extends I know not :it is entirely . covered (except the low land and beaches where the seals come up) with snow and ice, at this season of the year, which is the middle of summer. " DANIEL W. CLARKE. " On board brig Hersilia, South Seas." ON PRISONS.—(No. Ma. EDITOR—As it is the object of the humane to reduce capital punishment, so it ought to be their study to reform the unfortunate inmates of our jails, it appears to be the received opiaion that well proportioned or graduated labour is the only means to obtain that great end; but even this will be deficient unless attended by good ex ample with inflexible regularity, so that the tractable may be trained, and the obstinate ob liged to follow that course which will ultimately reward the public beneficence. When we contemplate the great outline of prison discipline, and the description of persons generally entrusted with the superintendance of jails, we are naturally led into reflections of the most painful description, to see the hardened and depraved associating with the o — ve - nile offender, the felon, the misdemeanor, the sane and insane, the male and female confined together the whole day, and in some instances even during the night, all bum] in idleness, or what is worse, corrupting each other, surely it becomes every, one who can from experience point to the road of Reform, to do so without fear, or the expectation of giving offence. With this view I have addressed you, and in such language, that every jailor who can read will understand. That prison-buildings, generally speaking, are extremely deficient will be allowed, but this is no reason why every old Gaol is to be supplant ed by a new one ; on the contrary, a vast number of them are susceptible of alteration at compara tive small expense, and the Public should be very cautious in disbursing money on new erec tions. The purport of my letters are to slew the necessity of improvement, and that that which will be advantageous to the community is consis tent with morality and economy. The remarks I formerly introduced on classi fication and inspection will, I apprehend, be free from objection, and the hints on Prison Police, although not sufficient to form a code, may, in part, assist some establishments which are defec tive in that particular ; but the great lever of reform is LABOUR, not excessive hard indiscrimi nate work, but proportionate to the class to which the prisoner may belong; and hence the necessity of legislative authority to employ all prisoners in the common wards of a Gaol, or House of Correc tion, so as to gratify the industrious and thwart the indolent, is a concession which the country requires, if prisons are to be the houses for re flection and amendment. It cannot be too often repeated that idleness is the root of evil, that it ranges at large in our gaols, that it engenders every degree of vice and depravity, and that it it only affords the hardened and abandoned the opportunity of corrupting those who per arc ;nrarterntpd 'Fur their first offence, and under judicious treatment might be reclaim ed. We all know that few are so iyold In whiten ness as to commence their career with capital felony ; yet how many at a tender age forfeit their life by following the counsel of the experienced_ thief ; but graduated labour will remove all this and much more, as even the prac tised delinquent will avoid a gaol, if he be obliged to work when there ; the more I reflect on the state of our prisons the more I am convinced that the gentry of the country only require infor mation how to improve their discipline;. and in coinciding with the recent publication of a gen tleman whose opinion must be of great weight * I believe that until inspectors or agents of instruc tion are appointed by the authority of Govern ment, the much desired alteration cannot take place ; their suggestions may be of infinite service ; the great point is the selection of such individuals as would do their duty with sincerity, courtesy, and well tempered zeal. The next and last subject with which I shall trouble you, is the effect of appointing improper persons to the superintendance of Goals; there was a time when the office of gaoler was consi dered as an heir-loom to certain families, or pro perty, or as a snug retreat for the faithful super annuated servant; thanks to the enlightened coun try gentlemen, this era is past ; 'however, it is succeeded by another evil which in many cases is worse ; no sooner is a vacancy known, than a host of Police or Sheriff's-officers are clamorous candidates, and in some instances succeed.; now, if our prisons are to be considered as merely. places of security, either they or any strong man may be competent to the task, but I ques tion whether they would be more serviceable than a keeper of wild beasts. If we look to their origin, it is in general extremely, low ; if for their education, it can seldom be found ; if for their habits, they are assimilated to their line of life ; beiog honest themselves, they cannot do their duty without at times associating with their game; and often he is the finest fellow who can sing the best flash song, or relate the most daring exploit ; these persons are useful in their sphere ; they ought to be well paid for their temerity and • devotion, but to appoint them to the superintendance of prisons is on ' prison reform which but to create a clog will ultimately lessen the little amendment we have acquired, and consequently impede every advance towards amelioration; what I have said on this subject is from a conviction of its import ance. I assure you it would grieve me exceed ingly to hurt the feelings of this serviceable body of Men, so long as they retain their proper place, but,as the seaman says," every man to his'station." Permit me, Sir, to express the sincere and heartfelt wish that these letters may not be con strued into offence. lf, from what I have written/ a hint at improvement in prison discipline occurs, * Mr. liorord. *.* The Series of Letters which are now concluded -relate 'to a very important subject; they are so well.written, and contain, such valuable information, that we feel gratified in be ing the chosen medium of communication to the Public, and we think the Author will confer an increased. obligation on the Public, by collecting and printing them in -the form of a Pamphlet. CII.A.NGE OF CLIMATE. " It is long since many, of whom 1 am one," says Lord DREGHORN, " have maintained that the seasons are altered ; that it is not so hot now in summer as when we were boys. Others laugh at this, and say that the supposed alteration pro ceeds from an alteration in ourselves, from our having become older, and consequently colder. In 1783, or 1784, in the course of a conversation 1 had with my brewer, who is very intelligent and eminent in his way, he maintained that an alteration had taken place. This observation he made from a variety of circumstances, the'dimi nation of the number of swallows, the coldness that attends rain, the alteration in the hours of labour at time of sowing barley, which many years ago was a work performed early in the morning, on account of the intenseness of the heat after the sun had been up some time. _He added. that for many years past he had found that the barley did not malt as formerly, and the period he fixed on was the year in which the earthquake at Lisbon happened. I was much surprised at this last observation, and did not pay much at tention to it till last summer, when I happened to read Les Annaks 'Politiqucs of LiNcurr, a very scarce book, which I was sure my brewer had never read ; for there, to my astonishment, I found the very same opinion, with this additional fact, that in Champagne, where he was born, they have not been able since that earthquake to make the same wine. He says, too, that he has seen the title-deeds of several estates in Picardy, which proved that at that Lion; they had a num ber of excellent vineyards, but that now no such accountcrop philosophically rearso attempts ha t y o . int , 'SUCH errecis." Thus far Lord DREGHORN. d for that jie earthquake a l l' The country about Placencia (the retreat of CHARLES V.) once one of the most fertile parts ofl Spain, is said by the inhabitants to have lost its fertility since that great earthquake. It is ano ther extraordinary fact, upon the same subject, that the herring fishery on our eastern coast com mences now a month later than it did in the days of our grandfathers. _ _ That the climate of England is changed within the last century, is now generally admitted. Mr. WILLIAms attempted to account for it by the great introduction of foreign •trees and grasses, which being natives of hotter climates; give out a far greater evaporation than our own indigenous vegetables. The sun-flower, according to lIALEs, transmits, when three feet high, about 'a pound and four, ounces in 12. hours. And WATSON, - from certain experiments, calculated that an 'here of land transpire t;, in 24 hours, 6400 quarts of water. The fact is very curious, and the appli cation ingenious. But it is manifest that the solution is not .adequate to the phenoinenon : for change of climate is equally complained of in other countries, where planting is not in fashion, and where no improvements in agriculture have been introduced. To those countries it is not applicable, neither Nrill it explain the increased prevalence of west and - south west winds. - Mr. WILLIAMS proposed, that electric mills should be erected over, the country, to supply electricity to the atmosphere, when there is a de ficiency, and draw it off when there is an excess. I)AR - wires scheme of towing ico lands to the tro pics was nothing when compared to this. But let philosophy tell us all its dreams, the more prospects the better.; -there-is no danger of their being adopted before they have been well weighed, and though ninety-nine may deserve the ridicule which the wliole hundred are sure to incur, the hundreth may nevertheless succeed.

EniTon,—it has appeared to tne- very - extraordinary, thatthough the principles of Mr. :1 1 11:U.TIIUS have been often noticed in the-H ou. of Commons, and have been the subject of much discussion' among all who have turned their atten tion to Political Economy, no, person except Mr. ITARDORD, in his incidental and cursory, yet per •tinent observationS; last night, has yet-taken Par liamentary notice of Mr. GODWIN'S work on POPULATION, which, according to the opinion Of many sound judges, has entirely ovei dimwit the system Ilie former. Even so recently as last night, Mr. BaouGnAm, in reference to Mr. SCA R - LETT'4 Bill on the Poor Laws, alluded to the work of Mr. MALTn - us, and_ according to the re port in your paper this days Mentioned a prin ciple as deducible from that work, which appears to me: to be not only incompatible:with every idea of humanity and justice, but absdlutely ridi culous, viz, that " children of marriages con tracted at one time would be entitled to . relief, while the - children of marriages..contracted at another time would not be entitled to it." Per haps it may be for want of due knowledge, but I cannot help feeling shocked at such a principle, and I conceive that it was the duty of Mr. BROUGHAM to have read MI% GODWIN'S work before - he referred to that of Mr. MAtirnus, and if he was satisfied with the refutation which Mr. GODWIN is understood to have given to the whole system of the former, GIIAIII ought to have stated it to be such to the House. But as the subject of Political Economy is so often adverted to in Parliament, and must-always be a subject of occasional consideration, it is the duty of every Member of the Legislature, in both Houses, to be thoroughly conversant with that subject. Mr. HA ItBORD has at length drawn Parliamentary attention, to Mr. G-'.onwiN's elabo rate, deep, philosophical work, and his example ought to be followed by every Member who really •regards the : public welfare., I read an Extract from Mr. GonwrN's hook, in the SUN, immediately after its first publication, and as the subject is very interesting - and important to the community, and will always he so in every civilized state, I was in hopes that you, or some of your . corres pondents, would have given renewed. attention to the work, not for the purpose of panegyric, but for that of sound investigation. If you insert this letter, perhaps some of your numerous corres pondents (and it must be admitted that you have many highly valuable) may be induced to take up the subject at this particular period, when the Poor Laws are brought into legislativediscus.; Sion, uai c ap e d in new od 7 fi n c i a ti t cLl , e s c ir r e t _advanced, tending p. : b t e o subvert a systc... which, however it may require j in demolished. British Coffee House, June B. X., Y. FOR THE SUN. Mn. EDITOR—How often, (hiring this time of profound peace, is it repeated that the daily jour nals have grown insipid, their attraction ceased, that there is an unusual dearth of political events, and that little amusement is left, but for one fac tion to be decrying. the other.. In : the latter fact certainly consists. a vast abuse of the press, which might itself, advantageously for the coun try, be turned towards the exposition of all irre ligious and unconstitutional principles, and.to the successful propagation of patriotism and loyaky. True, however, it is that the journals do. not yield details of battles that have. often -changed the fate of empires, but they present to every.reflect ing mind a serious and important view, one which cannot fail to strike almost the dullest understanding, 'namely, that the whole of Europe is tending towards a general political,regenera don ; yet, in this great work, it must be observ ed, that religious and civil liberty must be twin horn„ for the one can never exist long without the other. This, surely, is an interesting fea ture in the events of this world. We learn, .that abroad in all, directions public opiniowis loud for the representative system, and for the liberty of the press. In France„ in the Netherlands, and in many states of Germany,, the form of govern ment, as exisls in this country, is established and enjoyed ; and it is evident, from, all accounts, that also many other nations are panting for and ready to assist in the erection of a 'like. system. Hear this,. for Ye know it, and be ashamed, ye modern Whigs and demagogues, who so lately sought to pull down that fabric which is now. the envy of the world, and to subvert that form of government, under which alone true and rational liberty can flourish. Not w ithSt an din g the unfavourable light in which we have lately had presented to us the mysterious, movements of foreign troops, it is hoped that the whisper we have heard is the herald of an event so anxious ly to be desired as the emancipation of every foreign nation from that thraldom by which they are depressed, a thraldom, the result of ignorance and superstition, _which renders Servile and effe minate the mind, in the extinction of every social, generous, and virtuous principle.

A letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Topaze, dated Mocha, January 6, 1821, states, that after that ship had fired upwards of 3,500 thirty-two and eighteen pound shot into the forts of that town, articles of peace were agreed to; and satisfaction given for the gross insult com mitted on the British Residvnt, who was bant booed through the streets. The Topazehad one man killed, and several wounded.—(Plymouth Chronicle.)
