In the course of Mr. B.'s experience, in above three andred cases, he has been enabled to discover an entirely " System of Elocution ;" not founded on the hitherto nalart, but on the more powerful principles of Nature ; storing the organs of Speech, however weak, so as t o void, and completely overcome, the fatigues attendant on ie duties of the Church, or the labours of the Bar, in ttempore speaking. So much has this System been approved by his friends Id those distinguished Members of Society to whom it as been communicated, as to call forth their unqual,fied rrnission of reference ; at the request of several of horn this communication is inserted.

CHOLERA NIORBUS CURED BY MORISON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLY. THE President and the Board of the Bri tish College of Health, New-road, King's Cross, London, on referring the British Public to their former statement of the undoubted success of the Universal Medi cines in stopping the ravages of the Cholera Morbus in the Baltic, as given, verbatim, from Mr. M. Gardner, their general Agent for the County of Durham, (who had supplied several Baltic vessels with the Medicine), beg leave to lay before the Public a letter, received this day from their Agent at Carlisle, containing s still more cor roborative proof of their full efficiency on this devastat ing scourge : ANOTHER. CURE OF MALIGNANT CHOLERA DIORBUS. To Mr. HUDSON, Agent for Carlisle. SI did not intend giving my case publicity, but when I consider the awful visitation of the Cholera in Sunderland and the neighbourhood, I do not think I should be doing justice to Mr. Morison and the public if I were to keep any longer silence. A few weeks ago I was called to Berwick.upon-Tweed as a Hatter ; when I was severely attacked with the Cholera. The symptoms were cramp in my limbs, being all drawn up ; my body was all over a blue colour, accompanied with violent purg ing and vomiting, when a friend of mine, a Minister of the Gos pel, came timely with Morison's Pills. I took twelve at first, and repeated the dose a few times, when my health was com pletely restored. I have given the symptoms, and leave it to the public to judge for themselves to call my disorder what they please. However, I acknowledge my gratitude to Almighty God, from whom all blessings flow, in sending his servant with the justly celebrates! Vegetable Universal Medicine of Morison, the Hygeist, to my relief. I am, yours respectfully, "Carlisle, Dec. 16, 1831. EDWARD ALLISON. CURE OF SCROFULA, ATTENDED WITH AN UNCON QUERABLE LETHARGY. To Mr. MORISON. Sta,—Having obtained a complete cure of most virulent scor butic eruptions, attended with an unconquerable lethargy, by the use of your invaluable Universal Medicines, I am anxious my cure should be made known, for the encouragement of those troubled with the same complaint. I caught the small-pox when about eighteen years of age, which, from being improperly treated, left a drowsiness and pain in my head that rendered me incapable of attending to any kind of business, as I was obliged to lay down for four or five hours in a day in a complete state of stupor, from which nothing could rouse me ; and when I did rise, was as sleepy as ever. It was thought by 7113. - friends and the faculty that I should be taken fain one of these fits of languor, which , no doubt, (as I now learn from. your exeell e nt T rea ti se on the Small-pox), pro ceeded from those morbid h umours w hi c h h a d b een checked in their progress for expulsion, at the time of my being caught with the small-pox infection, as nature, in its efforts to throw oft' those incumbrances, had covered me with most virulent scor butic eruptions, from which I never expected to recover, yet, wonderful to relate, by taking ten or twelve small boxes of your General Agent for Staffbrdshire—Mr. Mason, of this town--I am restored to sound health. for which I can never be sufficiently grateful, and am, Sir, your debtor for health, West Bromwich, Dec. 12, 1531.

BISHOP OF LoNDox.—The following anec dote of this distinguished prelate and scholar is at present in circulation. The Bishop was lately in company with a Whig and reforming Peer, who was menacing the Bishop with the sequestration of the property of the Church, on account of the opposition of the bench of I3isLcips to the revolutionary Bill. The Bishop bluntly replied, that the same piwer which deprived him of his episcopal revenue would deprive his Lordship of his estate ; and that, in that event, lie would be in a much better situation than his Lordship, for that in his younger days he had supported himself by teaching a school, and was quite ready and able to do so again ; whilst his Lordship would, if deprived of his estate, be thrown upon the world without the means of earning an honest livelihood.—Edinburgh Advertiser. —[Fudge The passion of the tyrannical old brute, FRE DERICK WILLIAM Of Prussia, father of FREDERICK the Great, for his tall regiment is well known.

Treatise on the Manufacture of Porce lain and Glass. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1832. SURREY SESSIONS, JAN. 6. Mary Ann Burgess was indicted for stealing a half-pound brass weight, the property of William Till, a grocer, residing in St. George's, Southwark. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was in the habit of coming to his shop, and that having fre quently "ost weights from the counter, he had placed the one in question there in order that it might en able him to entrap the thief. On the day in question the prisoner came with her child, a year and a halt old, to make a purchase, and after turning his back to reach a canister, he missed the half-pound weight on again facing the counter. A policeman was called in, and the prisoner expressed her willing ness to be searched, remarking, that perhaps the child might have taken it up to play with it ; and on further examination the weight was found wider the shawl that was wrapped round the child. Tie prisoner, in her defence, said, that she was innocent of the charge, and that the weight must have been taken up by the child, who was seated on the counter. The prosecutor said, that the child was a yard or mere off the weight, and could not have taken it up. Three or four respectable looking females were called, who stated that they had known the pri soner for a number of years, and who gave her an excellent character for honesty and industry; The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Hedger) then summed up. He said that it was for the Jury to decide whether they believed the suggestion of the prisoner, as to the child having taken up the weight ; but how they could come to that conclusion he did not see, when the weight was found under the prisoner's own shawl. The prisoner here called out that it was found under the child's shawl ; and, on the policeman be ing recalled, the woman's statement was confirmed. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, Gentlemen, be that as it may, let me ask you whether it is very likely that a child of the age of a year end a half would have the strength to take up the weight ; and, if it had the strength, what motive could it have had in doing so ? Besides the prosecutor tells you that it was not sufficiently near the weight to reach it. This, however, is the prisoner's defence; whilst, on the other hand, we find that she was in the habit of going to Mr. Till's shop, and that he had so re peatedly lost weights as to induce him to place this on the counter as a sort of feint. (It may he worth mentioning, that the Chairman had previously stopped the prosecutor when he wag mentioning that he had frequently lost weights be fore from his shop, with the observation that the Court could not hear any, hing about previous losses.) The Jury, after scarcely more than a moment's deliberation, found the prisoner Not Guilty. At two o'clock, the Grand Jury, having gone through the Bills laid before them, came into Court to be discharged. The Foreman stated that the Grand Jury had a communication to make to the Court. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, gentlemen, proceed. The Foreman—This is a resolution (holding a paper in his hand) which the Grand Jury have adopted by an unanimous vote. The CHAIRMAN—Had you not better append it to your presentment ? The Foreman—lt is the wish of the Grand Jury that the two documents should be kept separate, and that I should now read the resolutions, of which I hold a copy in my hand. He then proceeded to read : " Grand Jury-room, Sessions-bouse, Newington, Jan. 5, 1532. " Resolved,—That the Grand Jury regret to learn from the evidence of the policemen, whose conduct generally appears to have been higt.ly commendable, particularly that of John Carrol and William Henningham, that se reral parts of the parish of Lambeth, and St. Mary, New ington, are infested with dissolute boys, and other loose, disorderly persons, who procure their living by breaking cf the law, and who, as it appears to the said Jurors, are at all times liable to be prosecuted as rogues and vaga bonds. The siid Jurors respectfully beg leave to call the serious attention of th e Magistrates to this growing evil. " Resolved,—That the said Jurors regret to find that pawnbrokers are in the habit of taking goods in pledge from persons without making due inquiry, thereby holding out facilities to thieves to dispose of their plunder ; at the same time the Jurors beg to remark, that in the course of their labours they have met with several honourable exceptions. "Resolved,—That the Jurors, in visiting the gaol, have ascertained that in the system of classification adopted, the prisoners are confined according to their legal, and not moral character of their alleged offences. Thus they find that a man accused of an unnatural offence is confined in the same day-room as men accused of common assaults. The said Jurors further beg to state, that in classifying prisoners they think reference should be had to their cha racters previous to their committal. " Resolved,—That the Grand Jury, in presenting to the Court yesterday a resolution expressive of their regret that a fern ale, of the name of Mary Deane, should have been confined in prison for nearly three weeks on evidence which appeared to the said Jurors totally insufficient, kumbly conceive that, as the Grand Inquest of the county, it is their peculiar duty to see that the liberty of the subject is not unnecessarily infringed upon, and therefore they dis agree with the observations of the Chairman (Mr. hedger) in which he intimated that the Grand Jury had nothing to do with the committals of prisoners." The copy of the resolutions having been handed to the Clerk of the Peace, The CHAIRMAN said—l still say, that the matter to which the Grand Jury have thought proper to refer, is not within their cognizance; it was alto gether in the discretion of the committing Mlagis• trate, he must always know much better than any Grand Jury what did arid what did not constitute fitting grounds of committal—(After a pause and some conversation with the other members of the Bench)—Gentlemen, you are now discharged, and I must be allowed to say, that if each of us confined our proceedings to our respective provinces, it would more rapidly advance the public business, and at the same time be more creditable to our character for judgment and discretion. If a Magistrate commit Any one wrongfully, he in not amenable to the (srand Jury, and their notice of his conduct in th, t behalf is an improper interference. A Magistrate for an improper committal subjects himself to an action at law; but he is the sole judee of the evidence laid before him—not even the Judges of the superior Courts can take any cognizance of his conduct. A Grand Juror—The Grand Jury were unani mous in thinking otherwise. We conceived our selves fully entitled to come to the resolution which we have just presented to the Court. It is not my intention to reply upon what has just fallen from your Worship ; but I may be allowed to add that we did not adopt this resolution unadvisedly—books have been consulted, and the mem hers of the Grand Jury were unanimous on the subject. The CHAIRMAN—Books may be consulted, but it does not therefore follow that they are understood. We must not keep up this altercation any longer. The same Grand Juror—That remark about con sulting books without understanding them applies as much to others as to the members of the Grand Jury. The CHAIRMAN—The permission to visit the gaol will in future be withheld if this species of interference be persevered in, Here the conversation ended, the Grand Jury retired, and the Cuurt was occupied during the re mainder of the day in trying larcenies of no public interest. An adjourned inquest was held on the body of THOMAS STROTHER, the young man who cut hie throat at the toot of Westtninster-nridge. A verdict of " Mental Dtraugernenc" was returned, NEW PATENTS SEALED 1831. (From the Journal of Arts and S c i ences .)

LIFE AND TIMES OF LOCKE.—Lord KING, we observe, has enriched the new edition of his "Life and Correspondence of John Locke," with some of those cu rious con. emporary memoranda which are rarely allowed to come forth from the recesses of the family closet. The accession alluded to consists of a diary kept by the Author's ancestor, Lord Chancellor KING, from 1725 to 1733, in relation chiefly to the principal subjects which occupied the attention of the Administration of that period. The most curious parts of this Diary will, however, be consi dered to be the singular anecdotes of Gxottax II and Queen CAROLINE, which tend to invest this otherwise grave work with a new and exclusive interest. A NEW EPIDEMIC.—The Duke of NEW CASTLE, in declining to give his support to a Reading So ciety and Mechanics' Institute just established at Work sop, and supported by the neighbouring nobility and gentry, assigned as his reason, that all the deplorable evils und , r which this country nsisv laboured were to be at tributed to such societies ; and in his letter to the Secre tary, his Grace exhorts hint to shun such institutions as he would a pestilence ! OLD LONDON BRIDGE.—The appearance of Old London Bridge in its present state of removal is highly picturesque, and the New Bridge is daily occupied by curious spectators of the works necessary for the de molition of the famous convey,nce by which the traffic of London has been moving during centuries. A COMB 4u...city has born carried in barges and dropped closed to the piers of the New Bridge on the Suuthwark side. The remains of the two arches of the Old Bridge on the &millwork side present no more than two circles of rough stone. On the city side they have nearly removed two arches ; and there is no longer a safe passage across the Old Bridge, except for the workmen. It is expected the whole of this ancient structure will be deired away by June. The bed of the river is to be made level when that object can be accomplished. It is uncertain when the first bridge was built between London and Surr y. SALE OF SHIPS OF WAIL-011 Wednes day a sale took place at the Navy-office, Somerset-house. by order of the Commi-sioners of the Navy, of the follow ing ships of war :—The Snap gun-brig of 181 tuns lying at Deptford ; the Cordelia burg of 132 tons, lying at Woolwich ; the Medina, of 20 guns, burthen 460 tons, lying at Sheerness; and the Prothee, burthen 683 tons, lying at Portsmouth. The Lancaster of 64 guns, and the Sampson hulk, were also announced for sale, but were will"lrdwn• The ships were sold by Dutch auction, and by the conditions of the sale, sureties to the extent of 3,0001. were demanded that the purchaser., shall break up t h e vessels within twalve months from the time of sale, The S a t t 7 l2o l) l, 6 Was put up at 9001. and was knocked don n The Cordelia was put up at 4001., and was purchased at 21 0 / . The upset pr i ce o f t h e M ed i na was 2,000/. • and was sold at 1,610/ ; and the .Prothc'e was put up at 1 ,800/., and fetched 1,220/. It has been suggested that country commis sions of bankrupt have generally been worked quite as much for the ben,fit of creditors in London as in lin country; and that sending down one or more official as signees to collect in the property is all that may be re quired—thus dispensing with country COILLR'SSiOnti alto gether PRICE "PD. SOAP DUTIES. Observations illustrative of the ruinous effects of the pre sent impolitic Soap Duties, chewing how these may not only be greatly reduced, but tntally repealed, with great advantage to the revenue, manufacturers, and the public at large. Every rational reflecting person must be satisfied that a duty of 100 per cent. on the cost of any manufactured article, especially a neces sary of life, such as Soap, must be severely felt by the community, and especially by the lower orders, as it is universally acknowledged that without cleanliness their health must be much impaired by aggravating and rendering inveterate the many diseases that more especially afflict the poorer classes. It should ever be kept in mind, that the poor mechanic toiling hard at dirty work from morning to night, and exposed to violent perspirations, requires more soap to cleanse both his clothes and exhausted body, than the-better classes of society, but this his scanty wages can not afford, so long as it shall continue to be charged as at present with the enormous duty o' 3d. per lb. a rate of duty which if laid on most luxuries, would be considered extravagant.: in this view of the subject, the present Soap Duties are neither more nor less than a tax on health. While these unnatural and extravagantly high duties place this great necessary of life beyond the reach of the poor (who stand so much in need of it), and press severely at the same time on all classes, there are many other evils of great magnitude, arising out of so heavy an impost, which both the fair trader and the revenue have felt most severely. Smuggling is a natural con sequence of high duties, and therefore, as might be well supposed, ever since the last additional penny per lb. was imposed, the fair traders have had the smugglers to contend with in even quarter ; seldom or ever have they been able to acquire that fair remunerating price for their manufactured article to which they are fairly en titled, and some have even found it for their interest to buy of the illicit trader. Thus we see these high duties operating as a bounty to the smuggler, but blasting on the other hand every honest effort of the fair trader, denying him the just reward of his industry, after having ex pended a large capital in the erection of his works. The Soap Duties, holding out as they do against temptations that are almost irresistible, tend to demoralize both the manufacturer and the officer ; this will ever be the result of such overcharged duties ; and the numerous Excise laws imposed on the trade, for the prevention of struggling, have ever, as might be expected, proved abortive, and are nothing short of a complete check to all improvement, and a never failing source of discontent and bad blood be tween the traders and officers. In fact the pre sent restraints under which the manufacturers of Soap are placed for the sake of preventing smuggling, operate, to say the least of it, as a millstone round their necks, marring their best endeavours to effect the improvements of which the trade is so susceptible, from the increasing spread of chemical science. If the Soap maker; were released from the Excise trammels, it would be productive of much public good, in so far as by being free and unfettered in their ope rations, a much better and cheaper article would be produced. This has been exemplified in the case of the brewer and tanner, who were made independent of all Excise clogs ; and so ought the Soap maker, for he is ten times more fet tered in his operations than they were. Let any per son cast their eye on the sad catalogue of Excise laws enacted for the better securing the Soap Duties, and he will be surprised how the manu facturer so fettered can possibly get on at all ; his extensive operations are carried on, not as genius and the improvements of the age would dictate, but under restraints the most capricious and op pressive, hostile alike to every idea of liberty and rational attempt at improvement. In order therefore to get at the smuggler (or monster, as he was justly and emphatically styled by a late much-lamented Statesman), we have a most im portant branch of manufacture crushed and pre vented from being so productive as it might have been to the country, or to those who have un fortunately embarked in it their capital and time to no good purpose. I most sincerely believe the present Ministers have every desire to free so useful anti extensive a branch of manufacture from the shackles of the Excise, but may find some difficulty in raising a sum equal to the Soap duty. To meet this difficulty, I propose laying duties on the raw materials, which can not be evaded, and at the same time collected at little or no expellee, in the following order : Foreign Tallow being the chief ingredient in Soap, I propose laying on it a duty of 101. per ton as it is imported, which will raise a revenue itself of about 700,0001., there being now about 70,000 tons imported from Russia alone. The collecting of this large sum would not cost one farthing, and the duty could not possibly be evaded ; this ought surely to be a strong argu ment in favour of such a duty, it being for the interest of the public to have , duties collected at woeful ot p eeioua depressionms oarne as little expense as possible, and without in fringingnt tasc the t r ' t d h te u e l s i t d m ry t o o o s t i lia m o m i u s f li ro a ß n i u portant interest in the country—the agricultural, by putting into the pockets of the agriculturist: not less a sum than two millions sterlino. annu Palm Oil, imported from Africa, is now be come to a certain extent, a substitute for Tallow. m the making of Soap, and the importations art annually increasing ; 1 suppose it now runs about 12 to 15,000 tons. As this article keeps pac, exactly with the price of Tallow, keeping nearly 101. under it, a duty on Tallow would necessa• rily call for an equivalent duty on Palm Oil ; but as it is not equal to Tallow in point of strength for making Soap, St. per ton would make it equal to 101. on Tallow, which would product a revenue of 90 to 100,0001; so we have on toreign grease alone a sum equal to 800,000/. Alkalies are the next indispensable ingredients that enter into the composition of Soap ; these, until of late years, were derived from kelp and foreign barilla. Since the duties were take❑ oft salt and sulphur, alkalies have been made with great success at home, and from chemical im provements these can compete with any foreign barilla as to strength, and have upon the whole * Our home produce, including Ireland, suppoeed to be three tittles that of our invortatiou. reduced 'the prices "of Toreign'alkalrqully 50 per cent.llThis British :barilla is•solely manu factured from salt and sulphur,: by means of a chemical process therefore, in order to relieve the Soap Trade of all trammels connected with the Excise, I propose a duty of 51. on R oc k Salt, charged at the pit - month, this of itself would produce at least 800,0001., and Sulphur I presume 50,0001. I come now humbly to offer a few observations as to the propriety of transferring the Soap Du ties to these raw materials. With reward to the duty on Tallow, it may be alleged, that so high an impost as 101. per ton might displease Russia, from which country alone our foreign supplies are now derived : this however should not be the case, for by taking a proper view of the subject, it would be found for the better securing our duties, and the im provement of our manufactures, we were merely transferring part of the duty on Soap to the Tallow ; and as it is well known that we cannot do without her Tallow, our imports of that arti cle, after a reduction of the Soap duties, would be found to increase, for it is evident the low price of Soap will greatly augment the consump tion of that necessary ; so that in a few years hence, place of an importation of 70,000 tons, we may in all probability see it raised to 90 or 100,000. Russia, however, has less reason to find fault with such a measure, than any country we trade with. We have only to throw our eye upon her tariff, and it will he seen, that almost every article of our manufacture is ex cluded by overwhelming prohibitory duties. Let it be observed, that this duty of 10:. on Tallow would raise Soap only 51. per ton, or ird. per lb., there being only half a ton of the former Leo a ton of the latter used. I come now to Salt, and without the fear of contradiction I assert, if money is to be raised in shape of taxes on commodities of universal con sumption, a moderate duty on Salt will be found very productive and the least objectiotiab;o. Nature has given this country inexhaustible sup plies of that necessary of life at little more than the expence of taking it from the mines; a duty of 5/. on the Rock Salt could hardly be felt by any consumer, not even by the very poorest in dividual ; and the duty could be collected at very little expence compared with the old system. The public surely would cheerfully submit to pay id. a lb. additional on their Salt to get free of the Soap and Candle duties. If thought proper, as an encouragement to the Ebb , !urers, let them in the first instance pay this duty, but receive a drawback or bounty equiva lent to it upon what is used, which would pre vent such frauds as were formerly practised ; and few or none of the curers could he much incon venienced by this small advanco in the first instance. Sulphur at Si. per ton must produce a con siderable revenue, and like the other articles of importation could be collected at no additional expence, and could not affi!ct to any extent worth noticing a single branch of manufacture with which it is connected. Neither it nor the Salt duty put together would be felt by the bleachers. The alkali manufacturers might be somewhat affected, and obliged to raise their ash 3!. to-4/.> per ton, which would scarcely be felt by the sow rakers, and would have the good effect of teLd• tog in some degree to restore the manufacture of kelp, and thereby give bread to a numerous and starving population of poor Highlanders. To protect our kelp shores, and the alkali made from salt, foreign barilla must be charged with a proper protecting duty ; for on the same principles as we protect the corn growers, must we protect both the makers of kelp and British barilla. Should these proposed duties be laid on, I am satisfied they would produce more than both the Soap and Candle duties put together, and thus enable Government at once to throw both these manufactures free of all the vexatious and harass aic, trammels of the Excise, and thereby render unnecessary a host of Excisemen, many of whom it must be confessed, to say the least of it, are !nit too remiss and careless in the discharge of their duty, and in place of being a check on the fraudulent trader, become in many instances ra ther connivers at his illicit practices ; for I hold that neither soap nor candles can be smuggled to .my great extent, unless the officer shut his eves zo what is going on. To prevent such ruinous collusions would require a system of checking on so large a scale, that the expence would be enor mous, and in all probability ineffectual, for in !avoured situations their vigilance might prove inadequate. There are many other advantages chat would accrue in consequence of a repeal of the Soap duties ; it would tend in the first place co increase the consumption of that article to a great extent,—promote the comfort and health of the poor, by encouraging cleanliness,—put complete stop to that extensive illicit trade car ried on between this country and Ireland, in this article,—and render unnecessary all the vexatious export regulations of bonding, &c. which are both troublesome and expensive, beyond all bearing. The last and not the least of the many bene fits arising from a total repeal of the Soap duties, would be doing away at once with all the ma chinery, both expensive to Government, and troublesome to the manufacturers, for regulating the drawbacks allowed on the use of Soap ; un der which, it is well known great abuses are committed,—many receiving drawbacks to double Jr treble the amount of the Soap used.
