MR. MORISON, the President, and Mr. MOAT, the Vice President, in conjunction with all the Honorary Members, and Country Agents of the British College of Health, being now fully borne out wall the conviction, approbation, and indubitable proofs, of upwards of 200,000 individuals (who had been thrown aside by the Faculty, and out of the Hospitals, as In curable) having been restored to sound health by the " Universal Medicines ;"—with all this incontrovertible mass of evidence in support of the Hygeian Theory and Practice, which challenges the controversy of the whole body of Medicists, under the old system, to subvert, t hey, the heads of the College, hesitate not to declare, in the face of the Faculty, that this new licht must com pletely change the whole course of the Materia Medics, and introduce a new era in the science of Physic : that, in fact, mankind will be taught, in future, a new and certain mode of investigating the nature and cause of Diseases in general, and of possessing a certain and harmless mode of cure, making every individual his own efficient doctor. In confirmation of what is here asserted, the Heads of the C ollege mean to insert, in this Paper, a continued series new cases, from individuals giving their names, resi de° 'TR, and dates of time of cure, all of which have been vo luntarily given, and ascertainable as to the facts by inquiry. CURE OF AN INFLAMMATORY AFFECTION OF THE HEAD. " To Mr. MORISON, the Ilygeist. gratitude to the Almighty, who, through your in strumentality, h a s, by the use of y our i nva luable Universal 3l edieine,~ restored me to sound health, after a long and severe suffering of what the doctors called an inflammation in the ,head ;' and for th e b ene fit o f m y fellow sufferers, I beg leave to 'ay before you aad the world my severe case, and extraordinary and rapid cure by your means only. I have long laboured under most distracting pains in the head, for which the Faculty could give the no lasting relief, until they pronounced me past all cure, having, as they conceived, an inflammation on or about the br ain, and left me to seek rest in death. Mr. Haydon, your in. dustrious Agent, being among my friends who came to admi nister spiritual comforts to me in my expected last moments of toY existence, saw a ray of hope in the prompt use of your pills, and immediately administered them to me. The effect was like naagic—a few hours of such rest as I had not had for a length of time took place—copious evacuations followed—my drooping spirits rallied—and in a few days I was restored to the aid of my Wife, and eight helpless children, in full and perfect health. I am ready to testify all this on oath before any magistrate in the kingdom, if required, and most anxious to answer any inquiries to all who may call on me.

Is this reproach ever to be wiped away ? " Proud of her pre-eminence in Christian Intel " ligence—is this a situation for England to stand in with re " spect to Criminal Legislation ? First of the nations in know " ledge, commerce, and mechanic arts—is she to be, conten " tedly,_ the last in the science of Criminal jurisprudence?" • An effort—united and extensive, must be made to re move this national disgrace, towards which the Society now announced will contribute its humble share of labour. -.- In aid of a work that so strongly commends itself to every well-wisher of his country, Donations and Subscrip tions will be received by the Committee, through their Treasurer, Warwick 'Weston, 73, Gracechurch-street ; and by the undermentioned Bankers in London.— WILLIAM ALLEN, Plough-court, Lombard street, Chairman of the Committee.

Horrocks and Son, situate at Ratcliffe-bridge, near Manchester, were forcibly entered (yesterday at midnight, as it is supposed), and property wilfully destroyed to an immense amount. Messrs. Lavender and Derby shire, the Deputy Constables of Manchester and Salford, were sent for by express to endeavour to trace the offenders. It appears that the villains en tered the premises by the bleaching croft, and hay ing discovered a quantity of vitriolic acid used for the preparation of calicoes for printing (nearly 2001bs. weight), destroyed with that fluid nearly 2,500 pieces of calico and other property. Nothing whatever was stolen from the premises, and it is thought that the destruction of property is the act of the incendiaries who were the cause of the fire at Messrs. Horrocks' new works (an account of which has already appeared), on the 28th of last month, although at that tinse it was considered that the fire was purely accidental. Suspicion is attached to three workmen recently in the employ of Messrs. Horrocks, who are now in the pay of the National Union; and they, it is expected, will be in custody this afternoon. Their names are Kay, Allan, and Sandiford, who were seen near the premises in the night that the injury was sustained. The amount of damage sustained on this occa sion will exceed 3,0004, which, together with that sustained by the same parties in the late fii e, will amount to nearly 15,0001. A considerable reward is about being offered by the Insurance Offices and the Messrs. Horrocks, for the apprehension and con viction of the offenders.

Jack Murphy, a broth of boy from Kilcullen, was charged with assaulting Edmund Muddigan, a coun tryman of his own,and nearly biting off one of hi s ears . Mr. Muddigan, who was by far the oldest of the two, and appeared as though just released from the pillory, stated that he was regaling at the house of one Gahagan, in the back settlements of Tooley street, when the defendant entered, and, throwing a bad shilling on the table, said, " You must change that—it's the one you gave me last night." He (Mr. Muddigan) denied that it was the same, where upon Jack Murphy struck him several grievous blows in the face ; and afterwards getting hold of one of his ears with his teeth, gave it a bite, and then growled, " Is it the same shilling now, Mr. Muddi gan ?"—" No, it's not." Another bite. "Do you feel that, Mr. Muddigan ?"—" I do, Jack." " Will you change the shilling now No, by the hookey, I won't." " Then the devil's cure to you, I'll make a sow with one ear of you, you villain !" and, certes, he would have bitten his ear off, and swallowed it too, perhaps, but for the landlord's in terference. To this very serious charge Mr. Murphy put for. ward a long account of having changed the shilling for the complainant while he was playing at cards, the previous evening, to prevent his having to send out for it ; and he was quite certain of its being the came, bekase it was the only one he had. Mr. Alderman THORP—b u t was that any reason you should turn cannibal, and mutilate the poor man ? You must find bail, Mr. Murphy, unless you can make it up. Mr. Murphy forthwith went bodily on his mar row-bones to beg pardon of Mr. Muddigan, who, riot being able to resist the tinder appeal, accepted it, and they departed good friends again entirely. The following remarkable fact furnishes an in stance of the oppression and cruelty to which the tenantry of Ireland are subjected by the continuance of the system, so long and deeply lamented and re monstrated against :—A small farmer in the south of Ireland, upon one of the Duke of Devonshire's estates, received notice about twelve months ago to quit his farm, the lease of which was about to expire. As he, and his father before him, had resided on the farm for many years, and knew the Duke's amiable character, he was not only reluctant to quit, but was astonished at the order. He represented to his Grace's agent the extreme hardship of turning him out; but all the satisfaction he received was, that he must move off, bag and baggage, by his Grace's command, before a specified day. " Well, Sir," said the farmer, "I hope you won't prevent me from getting a farm from some other landlord, at any rate, and that you will have no objection to give me a certificate to show that I'm an honest, sober, and industrious man, and that I a'nt turned off the ground because I don't pay my rent." "No man," replied the agent, " who was not a rascal, could refuse you what is so justly your due. I shall cer tainly state that you are as good a tenant as ever land lord had." The farmer thankfully receive the certifi cate, told his wife and family not to expect to b ee him for a few days, went on board a steamer at Cork, landed at Bristol, aed not long afterwards found himself at the gate of the Duke of Devon shire's mansion in London, and without, as he said, the knowledge of any fellow creature in the world but himself. The Duke refused at first to receive him, but the farmer said that he had nothing else to do in London, and that he would wait about the street till it was convenient to his Grace to listen to a few words. At last the servants told the Duke that the Irishman minded neither excuse nor delay, and in they walked him before their master. " lam astonished," said the Duke, the moment the farmer entered, " that so profligate a fellow as you, who have given yourself up to drink and neglected your poor wife and family, should have the impudence to come to ine to ask for a new lease, or that you should dare to appear at all in my presence." " Given myself up to drink and neglected my family ; please your honour !" said the farmer, " who says so ?" Who says so ?" repeated the Duke, and with great indignation threw down a letter. " There, read what that says of you." The farmer took up the letter and read it, then looked at the Duke, and then at the letter, anti at last burst out laughing. "Oh 1" said his Grace, " that is the manner in which so serious a charge affects you, is it ? I see my agent was right in saying that you were a hardened reprobate." " Please your honour," cried the farmer, " I beg your pardon for laughing, but I could'nt help it when I was thinking that I had a bit of writing about me from the same hand that goes nearer the truth. Will your honour be just after throwing your eye over that paper ? and he respectfully handed the certificate of his character, signed by the Duke's agent, to the Duke. Nothing could ex-' ceed the surprise of the Duke of Devonshire to find that the poor farmer was painted both clevil and angel by the same artist. He ordered that his te nant should be made as comfortable as possible— renewed the leases on the most desirable terms to the farmer—insisted upon paying all the ex penses incurred in consequence of the proceed ing, and said to his tenant, " Now, my friend, don't you say one word to any body about what you have done, until the Sheriff goes to turn you out of your farm; but the moment he does, show him these leases, and give this letter to my agent, whom I request in it not to annoy you any more." The farmer, after a hearty blessing upon his Honour's head, showed London and Bristol, too, his hack in a very short time, and he appeared amongst his family and neighbours as it he had been just after shipping a few dozen of pigs. When he received the notice to quit, he tranquilly lighted his pipe with it ; and when, at the expected time, the agent and the Sheriff appeared, he was amusing himself with his children. " Holloa !" said the agent, " you must turn out; you have had due notice, and out you must go this instant."— " Arrah, then, you wouldn't be zo cruel as to put out all the childer ?" blubbered out the farmer. " That I will," replied tha agent; " Sheriff, do your duty." " Well, stay a bit," said the farmer, " don' be in such a devil of a hurry ; the Duke told me that you were over-anxious to serve him." " The Duke! what Duke 1:t" cried the tei• rifled agent. " Why his Honour the Duke of Devonshire, to be sure. By the same token 11, told me to give you this bit of a note." It wouli be hard to describe the condition of the agent upon reading the communication, " Oh !" said tlin farmer, " if you doubt the writing, here's the nest leases which his Honour put into my own hands, God bless him, signed by himself. I can tell yot: that he knows your writing, for he compared thr two characters you were so good as to give me." The letter of the agent, who was, we understand one employed under the principal agent of the Dokt on the Southern ft ish Estates, was a dismissal. He had intended the farm, which is a very snug our, for his brother, Many Irish gentlemen at Brighton, who heard o the above circumstances, declare that they behev, numberless acts of oppression of the kind are corn• milted by the agents of the great Absentee Lorth who never chew their faces in Ireland.

EXTRAORDINARY INTERVIEW BETWEEN BOY EDWARD COOK AND Hls FATHER. Since the liberation of Cook, who was tried with the unfortunate woman Eliza Ross, for the murder of Caroline Walsh, he has been every where so -nnly prott i sting the innocence both of her and of imself;andTdeclaring that the son had been tutered either by his schoolmaster e.nd mistress, or by Lea the officer, or some other person or persons, to state in evidence against him and his wife a pure inven tion. Among others on whom he called to express himself in this manner, he visited the parish autho tities of Lower Aldgate, to whose / charity-school the boy belonged; in consequence of this, and of the determined manner in which the female Ross professed her innocence to the last moment of her existence, coupled with the request of a respectable relative of the boy, who is anxious for his future welfare, the churchwardens, overseers, and other gentlemen connected with the parochial school, de termined upon confronting Cook and his son in their presence. A meeting of these gentlemen was accordingly held in the workhouse on Friday evening last, to which place Cook was invited at the same time, for the professed purpose of allovviej him to have an interview with the boy—a favour he had repeatedly and urgently besought the trus tees of the school to grant him. Cook was first in troduced to the gentlemen alone, to whim he re peated his solemn protestations of innocence on his knees, accompanied with awful and horrid impre cations of divine vengeance on his head if he lied. The boy, who had co previous intimat'oa of the presence of his father, or of the object of the meet ing, was then brought into the room. He did not at first perceive his father, and Mr. Brown, ..11• churchwarden, directed his attention to that part of the room where he sat, and pointing to him, said, "Do you know who that is ?" The boy replied, coolly, " Yes, it is my father." Cook immediately called out, in a loud tone, " Ned, is not what yen said against me and your mother all false ?" " replied the boy, in a firm manner, " it is not, father, and you know it is not." Cook then altered, and reiterated the question, "'Who told you to say all that ?"—" I said it because it was true."—" Who persuaded you to say it ?"—" Nobody persuaded me ; I was miserable until I confessed it."—A gentleman asked him how he felt after he had cone fessed ? to which he answered, that he felt quite happy, and could sleep then, but before he could not sleep. The father said, "Ah Ned, if y e n don't say I am innocent, I ehan't be able to get a living, but if you say I am innocent, I shall get week and money to buy yeu and myself clothes si d victuals, and you will live comfortably with me again." The boy replied energetically, " L's true, it's all true, father, and you know it." Several of the gentlemen then put various questions to him on the leading points of his evidence, and cross examined him with great severity, but did not suc ceed in shaking a tittle of his testimony ; on the contrary, the answers he gave tended more and more to confirm them in the belief that his state ment was perfectly true. The father also put dif ferent questions, and by turns threatened, implored, and caressed him, but it had no other effe.et than to occasion repeated asseverations that he had spoken the truth. The father asked, " Didn't your school master tell you to say so ?"—" No; he told me to speak the truth, and told me the awful consequences of telling a lie." The father, " Didn't Lea :el! you what to say ?"—Boy, " No, he never told me to say anything; but to speak the truth." Mr. Harris, (one of the churchwardens,) said, " - What did I tell You ?"—Boy, " You told me, Sir, that if I did tell lies, I should have a guilty conscience, which would make me unhappy as long as I lived, and that I should be miserable here, and through all eternity." The father then took a book from his pocket, and opened it at the title page, which he held full in his sun's face, telling him his mother eerie it him the night before she was hanged. The' book was " Baxter's Cell to the Unconverted ;" and he asked his son to read the title. The boy, either from inability, or, which is more probable, trepidation, felt some difficulty in pronouncing the word " Un con' :!rted," on which Cook remarked, " You see, gentlemen, the boy can't read, now whet nctioe can he have of an opth ?" He then took a smell paper parcel from his pocket, and suddenly opening it, put a lock of hair in the boy's hand, vociferating " There, there is some of your poor mother's hair; — your poor mother that you didn't hang—but murdered—your poor murdered, murdered mother." The firmness of the boy now give way in some degree, his countenance changed, and he stood trembling and unable to speak. The gentlemen present fully expected that something new would now be disclosed, but in a few minutes the poor fellow begin to sob, and burst into a flood of tears, which gave him relief; and looking in his father's face, he exclaimed in a plaintiff tone, " Father, you know as well as I do that it is all true." Cook then fell on hie knees and said, " Before God, and our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ, it is not true ; and I pray God to make - me an example, to let the earth open and swallow rne, if I now speak false." The boy still rejoined, "It is true—it is true." He then proceeded to re mind his father where he stood, and what transpired both before and after the horrid deed. He particularly dwelt on the fact that Cook fol lowed his mother down stairs on the night of the murder, and that neither of them returned until late the next morning. He also recalled to his recollection the observations he made to him respecting the screams of a feaaale (supposed to be Sarah Karey) which he heard. Cook, in answer to this, observed, the screams the boy heard proceeded from a female in the court where they lived, whom her husband ev,s heating. Fintbng he could not work upon the boy's feelings this way, he suddenly changed the tone of his voice, and said, " Oh ! Ned, you know she (Ross) was altvays a bad woman to you, and me too ; and many a time 1 heat her for spending the money in gin; but did I ever use you ill ? Boy.—" No father." " Thera why don't you say I am innocent ?" The gent lemen now expressed their satisfaction at the conduct of the boy, and considered that more than enough had been said and done br the fattier to shake his testi mony if it had been in the slightest degree false. In t a h n a s t w ß er o t s o n a g re u a e l st n i a o m n e pu w t a l s iy E M I i r. za ll b r e o t h wn ß , C „ti o r ok stated den,at d that he picked her up in St. Giles's sixteen years ago, a few days after she came from Ireland, and that they had lived together ever since, but had never been married. The boy was then dismissed, and neither he or his father made any observation on their separation. Cook begged a few shillings of the gentlemen present, saying he could get no work in London, and was anxious to go and seek it in some part of the country where he was not known. Yesterday Mr. Harris and 'be relative of the boy had an interview with the Hon. G. C. Norton, at Lambeth-street, to whom they communicated the above particulars. Mr. Norton expressed him-elf ah-seed that the boy had stood so severe a test without wavering, and commended the exertions of Nit. Harris and the other gentlemen of Aldone, 40d spoke in terms of approbati.i n o f o ft a bili ty situ which Mr. Henry Alfred Harris, the sui%eyoa, had disehaiged his duties.
