Extract from the " London Medical Gazette" of Dec. 3, 1831. vve must not omit to mention the Bath for Hot Air or Va pour made by Mr. Rippon, of Castle-street East; it goes into an extremely small compass, is equally efficient, and much cheaper than any of the others we have seen." The 13ath alluded to by the Editor of the " Medical Ga zette " has been very much improved within the last few days, although previously allowed by all who have used it to be more complete than any other. For portability and simplicity it is unequalled ; the most inexperienced person can apply it in one minute, without removing the patient or clothes from the bed, and, at the expense of twopence, -produce perspiration in four minutes. It can be used for vapour. Price of the Machine, with Spirit Lamp, &c., I Os. Portable Frame for the Bed, 10s. Packed for the country, 2e. 6d. extra.

In an extensive prac tice for some years he has employed them in the most ob stinate Bilious Cases with unvarying success. They operate principally as a deohstruent and purgative, they promote a proper action of the liver in the secretion of bile, or cor rect it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions of the stomach and bowels are gradually removed ; and by gi►ing tone to the biliriry ducts and strength to the sys tem, they afford relief to those who suffer from nervous attacks, sick head-ache, giddiness, indigestion, and gouty affection. The Bilious Pills have the name " F. Newbery" en graved in the Government stamp on each Box, and are sold at No. 45, St. Paul's Church-yard ; and by J.

DR JAMES'S POWDER. ►•HIS celebrated Medicine is invariably adopted by Physicians ; and for those who cannot obtain medical advice, with each packet are enclosed full directions for its use. Its efficacy is most certain, if freely given on the attack of FEVER, MEASLES, SORE THROAT, recent Cold with Cough, and other Inflam matory Disorders. In RHEUMATISM and Chronic Complaints it has performed the most extraordinary cures, when used with perseverance. Dr. JAMES'S POWDER continues to he prepared by lliessra. NEWBERY, FROM THE ONLY COPY OF THE PROCESS LEFT BY DR. JAMES IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING, which Was DEPOSITED WITH THEIR GRANDFATHER IN 1746, AS JOINT PROPRIETOR. In Packets, 21. 9d. and 245. DR. JAMES'S ANALEPTIC PILLS afford constant relief in INDIGESTION, BILIOUS and STOMACH COMPLAINTS, Gouty Symptoms, recent Rheumatism, and Cold with slight Fever, and are so mild in their effects as not to require confin,ment. DR. JAMES'S ANALEPTIC PILLS are prepared by Messrs. NEW BERY, FROM THE ONLY RECIPE EXISTING ,UNDER DR. JAMES'S HAND, and are sold by them In Boxes at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 245., at 45, St. Paul's Church-yard ; J. Sanger, 150, Oxford street, London ; and in most Country Towns. The name " F. Newbery" Is engraved in each Government stamp. THE IMPETUOSITY of PASSION, and the coincidence of general gaiety must involve a considerable portion of the community in the sufferance of those disorders which are destined to he the punishment of illicit indulgence. And since the time of Monkish . superstition, nn blame has been imputed to medical Practi tioners for the exertions of their skill in the removal of these complaints. As medical ability cannot therefore be more usefully or more respectably employed, it is only necessary to inquire where it can he most decisively depended upon, certainly not among those who rush without education into the practice of EsculapiAn slaughter; but among those who, after regular initiation, confine their exertions to one point, and concentrate their skill in the study and treatment of One Branch. Dr. Courtenay, from the University of Edinburgh, is entitled by his qualification to make this selection, and after unprecedented success for upwards of Thirty-five Years, he may now without presumption, offer restoration in cases where the most eminent Practitioners have failed. An Insidious Disorder may be contracted in an unguarded moment of intoxication. By this plan of cure, pain is prevented, the possibility of danger precluded, and the c onstitution is left, not merely unimpaired, but absolutely improved b y the process. The sufferings of this complaint are however trifling cprnpared with the consequences of that destructive prac tice for which Onan suffered death. To those whose feelings are susceptible of the misery which this pernicious habit has occasioned, it may he some consolation to know, t hat, by proper perseverance, the most deplorable debility n 'ay be removed. When estates are dependant on the progeny of married people, the removal of those impedi ments is to many the restoration of life's best enjoyment, nor is it unreasonable to expect succor from the connection If that peculiar state of the constitution, by which con ception is prevented, or the embryotic prisoner constantly testroyed. It is the result of Dr. Courtenay's experience, ta offer a safe and certain removal of these impediment., and by correcting the morbid state of the uterine functions tie female soon becomes in that state " which Ladies wish t, be who love their Lords." Dr. Courtenay may be con halted personally, or by letter, with the greatest secrecy Od honour, at his house, No. 21, Leicester-square. Patients in the country describing the particulars of heir complaints, age, mode of living, &c. &c., inclosing iremittance for advice and Medicines will ha-- the same &yen or sent to any part of the world.—Letters are ex- Acted to be post-paid. Dr. Courtenay has removed from No. 6, Robert-street, Aelphi, to No. 21, Leicester-square, where he continues trpractice, and is consulted as heretofore. Dr. Courtenay no connection whatever with the young man now Petising at his late residence, and he thinks it is due to tire Noblemen and Gentlemen, who bare hitherto so orally honoured him with their confidence, to make this rilic declaration in consequence of that individual presum tr to state verbally and in writing to several of Dr. Cour- Ny's patients, that he had retired altogether from practice, at assigned it to him. —Dr. C. has done no such thing. BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD; KING'S-CROSS, LONDON. R. MORISON, the President, and Mr. MOAT, the Vice Presiden►, in conjunction with all the Honorary Members, and Country Agents of the British College of Health, being now fully borne out with the conviction, approbation, and indubitable proofs, of upwards of 200,000 individuals (who bad 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, they, the heads of the College, hesitate not to declare, in the face of the Faculty, that this new light must com pletely change the whole course of the Materia Medica, and introduce a new era in the scien7e 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 College mean to insert, in this Paper, a continued series of new cases, from individuals giving their names, resi dences, and dates of time of cure, all of which have been vo luntarily given, and ascertainabl?, as to the facts by inquiry. CURE OF AN OLD SPRAIN, AND A FULNESS IN THE HEAD. " TO MESSRS. MORISON AND MOAT. Gentlemen,-1 have been somewhat surprised (although, I must confess, as knowing the universality of your medicines, 1 ought not to have been) at the unexpected benefit wrought upon me, testifying, if any such testimony was wanting, their peculiar property, of invigorating and strengthening, while they cleanse. And while taking them for one complaint, I (in common with many others, no doubt) find myself unexpectedly relieved from another, which, from its long standing, has become so natural, as to be quite overlooked in the way of cure. You must know, gentlemen, that about eighteen years ago I strained the leaders of my legs, by over-exertion in walking. My medical attendants (for I had several) advised a variety of expe dients, which bringing no relief, they ultimately recommended me to band them up ; and so requisite has it been to my walking, that when by accident one has slipped, I have been obliged to re tire at the first place I came to, to adjust it. I have at various times during the last two years taken the Universal Medicine freely, for what I formerly called the determination of blood to the head, and my previous relief was only to be found in bleed. ing. The effect has been, that I have not only lost that ten dency, but 1 can now walk, without bands, more than twenty miles a day for two or three days together. While I congratu late mankind on the important discovery of the Vegetable Universal Medicine,' allow me to offer my tribute of thanks to you, and believe me, Gentlemen, your's respectfully, THOS. GItIFFITHS. " Westerham, Kent, Jan. 3, 1 1 32."

This change, which will bring in the mail by two o'clock, is to take place on the sth of April.— Glasgow Chronicle. EXPEDITIOUS STEAM TRAVELLING.—We are informed that the Adelaide steam packet left Hull, on Sunday last, for Selby, at half-past seven in the morn ing, arrived at that place at three quarters past ten, re mained there one hour and ten minutes, and arrived at Hull at four o'clock the same afternoon, having run upwards of 110 miles in seven hours and twenty minutes. —Hull Rockingham. The packet-ship York, Captain BURSLEY, sailed from New York on the 9th of January, in com pany with the British ship Heroine, for London. On the 22d of Jannarv, in lap. 48. long. 24., spoke the Cyrus Butler, CARTWRIGHT, from Savannah, bound to Havre de-Grace, out 21 days; and on the 25th January, off Cape Clear, spoke the William and Ann, -, from Buenos Ayres to Liverpool. The papers brought by this vessel come down to the 9th of January, but their contents are net important. Saturday's Bucks Gazette contains the fol lowing report of a proceeding at the St. Alban's Petty Session, before F. SEARANCKE, jun., Esq., Mayor, and the Rev. W. M. BoweN, D.D., D. G. ADEY, Esq., and R. SOLLY, Esq., &c.:—The Overseers of the Abbey parish were summoned to show close ,vhy they refused to relieve MARY SEARS; her husband had absconded, leaving her with three children, the eldest not five years of age, and which children the parish-officers compelled her to bring to the poor-house three times a-day, for a small portion of fond, without giving herself any, a distance of upwards of two miles each journey. The food was delivered to them at the door, where they were compelled to eat it. Mr. W. LANGLEY, a parish-officer, stated that they only i efused her by way of an experiment. The woman was ordered relief, as well as the children. It might be satisfactory to learn, whether this parish officer, so fond of trying " experiments" on the appetite of others, had any thing to do with the Scottish Literary Festival. In reference to HowisoN's confession of having murdered a man two years ago, near Whitting hame, between Morpeth and Woolen, the Tyne Mercury says—_" We never beard of such a murder." EXTRAORDINLRYOPERATION.-011 Wed nesday last the large lion and one of the lion tigers, be longing to Mr. ATKINS'fi menagerie, had each a tooth ex tracted. The operation was performed in a masterly style by Mr. C. S. ROWLAND, dentist, Tithebarn. street, and was witnessed with naurh interest by several profes sional gentlemen. So completely are the animals under the controul of their keepers that they were not . even bound during the o F eration. They seemed much relieved by the removal of the diseased teeth, from which they must for some time past have suffered great pain. Toe teeth may be seen, we believe, in Mr. RowLANn's win dow.—Licerpool Chronicle. DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Tues day night an elderly female, the wife of a shoemaker re siding at Middleton, left her bed asleep, and opening the casement, went through and fell into the paved street. Her husband, betwixt sleeping and waking, felt her leave the bed, but did not become alarmed until he heard some paper flipping in the chamber; he then rose and found that the noise was occasioned by a current of air blowing in at the casement, which was wide open, and looking through, he saw his wife lying below. He immediately went to her assistance, and the rest of the family having been awakened, they conveyed her into the house, and afterwards to bed. On examination it was ascertained, that, besides being seriously bruised and shaken, the bones of her left leg were broken, and the knee pan of her right knee displaced. Hopes are, however, entertained of her re covery.--Manchester Guardian. • LONDON SAUSAGES.—At the Queen-square Police-office yesterday, a else was heard, on some dispute of wages, between a master butcher and his journeyman, in the course of which it appeared that they had dressed a poor old COW, which had died of a diseased udder, and sold it to a sausage-maker, in Cow-cross, for 11.155. The man also affirmed that he had been employed by a butcher at Little Chelsea to dig up some pigs which had died of d:sease, and bad been buried ; and that, having " dressed th , m," they were also sold to.the same sausage-maker. The failure of this gentleman has created a considerable sensation in this part of the country, where it will be severely felt by many who had lodged money on deposit in the banking esta blishment of " John Maberly and Co." believ ing that Mr. Maberly was not only the osten sible partner in the banking concern, but also the •principal partner in the great linen-manufactory now carried on here, .until Thursday, sth inst., under the firm of " Maberly and Co." but now under the firm of Richards and Co. On the morning of that day, " John Maberly and Co." were declared to have suspended payment ; the firm of " Maberly and Co." was at the same time announced to be no more; and the creditors of the former establishment had the first infor mation conveyed to them by the English jour nals, that Mr. Maberly had retired from the manufactuving concern " some time ago," the Gazette of the succeeding day confirming this, ,itkrk.lxing the date of Mr. Maberly's .retir.ektvit t4, 4, lgay, 18.1. Under these circumstances, we shall endeavour to give a short outline of Mr. Maberly's connexion with Aberdeen, to show how the public were led to imagine, up to the eleventh hour, that " John Maberly and C 0.," and " Maberly and C 0.," were one and the same concern. Many years ago, Mr. Maberly pur chased the manufacturing houses of Scott, Brown, and Co., in Aberdeen, and they formed the nucleus from which his extensive linen works have sprung. At the time Mr. Maberly made this purchase, he was supposed to be, and no doubt was, possessed of an ample fortune. Being dissatisfied with the par date at which the Aber deen banks then drew on their London agents, Mr. Maberly was determined to alter this ; and the banks, not choosing to submit to his dicta tion, he formed the extraordinary resolution of establishing a bank of his own at Aberdeen, Montrose, Dundee, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, calling it " The Exchange and Deposit Bank," and issuing the promissory notes of John Ma berly and Co., payable in London. Such an establishment as this being contrary to all the principles on which the Scotch banks are con ducted, they refused to receive or exchange his promissory notes. In retaliation, Mr. Maberly set about collecting their notes and demanding gold for his balances weekly. This warfare he carried on for nearly six years with the Aberdeen Banking Company, and, we believe, the Com mercial Bank. '1 he same took place with the branches of the Bank of Scotland, Commercial Bank of Scotland; but, as the notes of the latter banks were payable in Edinburgh, Mr. Matted) , was subjected to the additional expense of send ing them there for exchange. Strange as it may 110 W appear, many people in Aberdeen cons i tiered the conduct of titer own banks as harsh an illiberal towards Mr. Maherly, using the same language which Mr. Maberly himself invariably adopted, viz., " the ingratitude of the banks, considering the great benefit he rendered to the country - extensive manufacturing con cerns." The Aberdeen banks having sufli ciently demonstrated their opinion of Mr. Ma berly's banking establishment, and knowing, whatever might be the result, they could not be injured farther than the balance of a weekly ex change, seldom exceeding 2001. or 3001., this warfare ceased in 1826. It was always well known that Mr. Maberly's bank allowed a higher interest for deposit money than any other bank in Scotland. Indeed, the rate lately allowed was four and a half per cent., while the rate of the other banks was 2 per cent. As such a difference would have been considered discreditable and ruinous to any banking esta blishment, it was always imagined that the money was profitably employed in the manufac turing concern, where Mr. Maberly could well afford to pay 4* per cent. Indeed, the banking business in Aberdeen was carried on in the same premises, under the same room, in the same counting-house, and at the same desks as the manufactory, the servants of Maberly and Co. were paid their wages with the notes of John Maberly and Co., the gentleman who managed the manufacturing concern superintended the bank, and until the arrival of the post on Thurs day morning, the sth inst., we understand he had not the most remote idea that Mr. Maberly had retired from the firm of Maberly and Co.— On that day, however (as stated before), arid as if by magic, the creditors of John Maberly and Co. were informed that the firm could not meet their engagements, and that the firm of Maberly and Co. was no more. The painted ticket, " The Bank" was removed from the door of the manufactory, and " Richards and Co." substi tuted ; but the spinning wheels perform their usual revolutions, and the beam of the steam engine vibrates as belore.—Aberdeen Chronicle. ALLOYS OF STEEL.—Two eminent chemists make stud publish a series of experiment., by which it I• demonstrated, that a small portion of various of the pre cious metals might he mixed, by fusion, with the substance of steel ; the idea of turning the discovery to practical ac count is promptly caught ; and silver steel, having the advantage of euphony and novelty, becomes a popular de nomination in the market. But as there is some chance of this manufacture being considered as new tangled, and diversity and competition being the body and spirit of busi ness, another projector turns him to antiquity : every one interested in cutlery having heard of the famous oriental sabres that, while they bend like a switch( were of so stern a temper that they would themselves cut through ordinary iron ; so, with tolerably good taste at least, is e are greeted with the announcement ot Damascus steel. Silver, how ever, is an ingredient within the reach of every manufac turer who chooses to put it into his melting pot ; and Da mascus being a somewhat equivocal epithet, at best apply ing rather to a mode than a material of steelmaking, a third party procures from abroad a few lumps of the cele brated Indian wootz, a substance which not many persons have seen, and still fewer thoroughly understand, and under these auspices comes forth Peruvian steel. Each of these materials may be of acknowledged goodness and celebrity ; but at all events they must alike be content with the common credit of an earthly origin ; not so, however, with those ferruginous masses which have at different times fallen from the clouds. Poetry and policy unite to favour the notion that, iron smelted in ether, and hardened in the north wind, must needs, like HOMER'S horses be gotten of the latter agent, be of excellent temper ; accord ingly, meteoric steel has been among the discoveries which have claimed the approbation of the public. We have taken the liberty to introduce, thus playfully, four deno minations ot factitious steel, which, when recommended as superior to pure steel, for fine cutlery in general, deserve to he treated in no graver style : as connected, however, with metallurgic phenomena, the processes developing those peculiarities of elementary chemical combination, or mechanical structure, upon which the obvious characteris tics of the above -named steels are assumed to depend, are far from being uninteresting to the experimentalist. —Dr. Lardner's Cyclopedia, Vol. XXIV. His Majesty's ship Childsr,, 18, Com. 11. Deans, was paid wages on Thursday, and is daily expected to proceed to Lisbon with dispatches for Rear-Admiral Parker, and thence, report says, to relieve his 71Iajesty's. ship Briton, 46, which ship is now cruising off Terceira. His Majesty's ship Stag, 46, Commander Herringham, (acting) is ready for se t, and is expected to proitee4 to Cork, as Peoll as her Captain (Sir T. E. Troubridge, Barr.) shall arrive from London, being now on Admi ralty leave. Hitt Majesty's ship Galatea, 42, Captain C. Napier, C.B. and Stag, 46, Corn. • Herringhttn, acting (in the ab sence of Captain Sir E. Troubridge, Bart. attending his Parliamentary duties) arrived on Sunday from Leith, last from the Dawns. The crew of the former ship were exercised at Spithead on Monday, in the presence of the second in command, firing at a target, and acquitted them selves much to their credit, and that of the Captain and officers. She was afterwards towed into harbour by the Confiance steam-vessel, and will be paid off into ordinary to-morrow. Such I.as been the alacrity and perseverance manifested on board, that in two days after coming into harbour, this ship was completely dismantled and ready to he delivered over to the Dock-yard, an instance, we b e - lieve, never before on record. His Majesty's ship Madagascar, 46, Captain Edmund Lyons, will go nut of harbour to-morrow, and is expected to sail for the Mediterranean on Thursday or Friday next, taking out as passengers, General 'Sir F. Ponsonby (Go vernor of Malta) and suite. The Pearl was uedacked on Tuesday, and will he suc ceeded, we believe, by the Wasp. It is expected that the Britannia will be undot•ked on Tuesday next. At Spithead—Prince Regent, Stag, Childers, and Recruit. In Harbour—Victory, Britannia, Royal George, Ga latea, Madagascar, Pearl, African, Viper, Contiance, and His ;Majesty's ship Prince Regent, 120, Captain J. W. D. Dundas, arrived on Tuesday from Lisbon having sailed from the Tagus on the 11th inst., (after lying there four months) leaving there his Majesty's shi t Asia, 81, Captain P. Richards, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Parker, C.B. ; Revenge, 76, Captain D. 11. Mackay, and Victor, 18, Commander R. Russell. Th. French squadron consisted of one sixty-gun frigate and a corvette. The Prince Regent brought home the following passengers, viz.:.—From his Majesty's ship Asia, Captain H. Parker, Lieutenants T. V. Watkins and J. W. Purcell ; Mr. F., W. R. Sadler, Master ; Mr. W. *Hood, purser (clerk to Cap sin Parker) ; Messrs. Vaughan, Banbury, and Stirling, mates, and twenty-nine pets ) officers and seamen, who Itai , e all since joined his Majesty's ship Victory. She brought home also Cons manlier A. Ellice, lately promoted from the Victor ; Mr. J. Breaks, parser, Secretary's chrk to Rear-Admiral Parker ; Mr. Falcon, mate, and three seamen belonging to his Majesty's ship Briton, and the following invalided : L;eut. G. V. Hart, of the Victor; Mr. J. A. Mends, Mate o. the Asia ; and thirteen seamen from the squadron. The Revenge was released front quarantine on the day the Prince Regent sailed. On the Bth instant Admiral Parker shifted his flag from the Prince Regent to the Asia, with manned yards and the customary salutes front the two ships. When the Prince Regent sailed, a: rive prepara tions were still going on by Don Miguel's party, but from the exhausted state of his funds, and the disaffection of his troops and seamen, there is little doubt of Don Pedro's success ; the first appearance of whose flag will, it is con fidently reported, cause the immediate defection of Mi guel's forces. The forced loan had caused universal dis content, and it was only by the most rigorous measure, that about half the proposed amount had been collected. A rigid impress had just taken place, sweeping off all descriptions of persons to man the ships. The Don Juan, 74, with three corvettes and a brig, were the only vessels with sails bent, lying off Belem Castle. The Qseen, an old ship, had been rigged, and had taken her guns on board, hut she was not manned. She was lying up th. harbour with a 20-gun sloop, which had also her guns on board, but was not manned. Don Miguel seems per fectly sensible that there is no confidence to be placed in his troops, and it is said he has made preparations for leaving the country, should he find himself deserted by his troops. The Prince Regent exchanged numbers witl. H.M.S. Melville, on Monday afternoon last, about twelve miles off Portland, with a fresh breeze at S.W. The crete of the Prince Regent having suffered considerably from erysipelas, during her absence front this parr, the ship has been ordered to come into harbour, for the purpose of be ing paid off into this Ordinary, after having undergone a complete fumigation. We are happy to say, that the dis ease, which, at one time, attacked upwards of a hundred of the crew, his now entirely disappeared, and time ship is expected to come into harbour on Wednesday or Thursday next. The sailing and other qualities of this majestic ship are highly spoken of, and much regret is felt at the ne cessity which has led to her being ordered to be paid off. By a private letter from Lisbon, dated 14th inst. we learn that formidable preparations were still in progress to repel the threatened attack from Don Pedro's forces. Mutt batteries were in course of erection for a considerable distance along the shore. The accounts from Terceira are dated Dec. 10, at which time there were 15,000 troops animated with zeal and fidelity in the cause of Donna Maria, and only awaiting the arrival from Brest of ships of war and transports to effect their descent on Portugal. The naval force at Terceira consisted of the Regencia, 24, Bonne Esperanca, 10, Conde de Villa Flor, 18, Liberal, 10, Coquette, 6, Prudencia, 6. One sixty-guts frigate and two corvettes were daily looked for front France, ann the whole farce expected to be embarked amounted to 25,000 men. Extract of a letter from Malta, dated Jan. 6, 1832 : " I send the arrivals and tailings of English men-of-war from December Ist to this day. Arrivals.—His Majesty's ship Alfred, 50, Captain R. Mannarll, on the Ist ult. from Tripoli, where she had been cruising ; his Majesty's ship Scylla, 18, Com. Hon. G. Grey on the 4th ult. front Toulon; his Majesty's steam-packet Alban, Lieutenant H. Walker (a), on the 17th ult., from Marseilles ; his Ma jesty's surveying vessels Mastiff, 6, Lieutenant J. Wolfe, and Meteor, 8, Corn. It.

Hotham, on the sth inst., and his Majesty's ship St. Vincent, 120, Captain H. F. Senhouse, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir H. Hotham, on the 6th inst., for Tripoli." W e learn by private letters from Belle Isle, dated the 14th instant, that the greatest confidence of success existed among the individual composing the expedition of Don Pedro. The naval force consisted of the Riiinh. de Portugal (formerly the Congress), 46 ; the Donna Maria (formerly the Asia), 42 ; the Juno, a 20-gun cor vette ; the Terceira, a schoonrr of six guns ; and eight or ten transports. Don Pedro left Paris on Wednesday last, to join the squadron, which was expected to sail not later than the 4th of February. The crews and troop• were in high spirits, having received two months' wages in advance, and gratuitous clothing and bedding. There are no Portuguese or other foreigners in the expedition, the whole being composed exclusively of English. Admiral Sartorius'a flag MN flying on board the Rainha de Portugal.

Bamber, volunteer that class, (son of Captain Bamber, of Ordinary) and Mr. G. Sinclair, Midshiptnen,•are appointed to his Majesty's ship Childers., (Abridged from the Scotsman ) The first step towards estimating the import ance of a borough, as required by Lord Mel bourne, is, to get precise numerical values of the two elements ; and to obtain these, we must have a standard to which each element may be re ferred. Let us suppose a town to exist, that contains as many houses as the whole hundred boroughs, and pays a sum in taxes equal to what the whole pay ; such a town ought numerically to be reckoned equal in importance to all the bo roughs together, taking into account the two elements which regulate importance. Let us next suppose, that this large town is subdi vided into one hundred towns, each con taining the same number of houses, and paying the same sum in taxes; it is manifest that the aggregate political importance of the hundred equal towns ought also to be equivalent to that of the town from which they have been formed, and consequently to that of the hundred real boroughs. Therefore, one of the hundred hy pothetical towns may be taken al a standard of Comparison by which the relative importance of each real borough may be estimated. From the • Parliamentary paper in which the boroughs are arranged, it appears that the whole number of houses in them all, is 45,200 nearly, and the sum they pay altogether in taxes, about 51,5001. Therefore, the average, or standard borough, with which we are to compare the real boroughs, should contain 452 houses, and pay 5451. in Assessed Taxes. By the rule laid down in Lieutenant Drummond's instructions, the relative importance of each borough is resolvable into two parts,—one depending on the number of its houses,—and the other on the sum it pays in taxes. Let us call the first of these, House importance, and the second, Tax-importance. Let us now assume the house-importance and tax-importance of the standard borough as scales of comparison, by which the like kinds of importance of the real boroughs are to be ex pressed, and let each scale be reckoned to con tain, say 1,000 equal gradations, which shall be called degrees. Then to find the house-import ance and tax-importance of a borough. Arun del, for example, which contains 527 houses, and pays 878/. in taxes, we must, following the precepts of Cocker, say, if 452, (the houses in the average town) give 1,000 degrees of house importance, how many degrees ought 527 (the houses in Arundel) to give. The result, by the well-known Rule of Three, will come out 1,165 for the house-importance of Arundel ; and by a like process, its tax-importance will he found 1,611 ; and so on through all the boroughs. Flaying got the numbers which express the house-importance and tax-importance of each borough, the next question is, how shall these 'be united, so as to express a just measure of re lative importance, depending jointly on the houses and taxes ? To resolve this question, with mathematical accuracy, we ought to know how many degrees of the one kind of importance should be reckoned a fair equivalent for a given number of degrees of the other ? From the nature of the case, this question does not admit of an answer. We know that the borough-importance depends on its magnitude and power to pay taxes, and that if either of these be increased, while the other remains the same, the importance of the bo rough, as an integrant part of the State, is in creased, yet we cannot say that a degree of house ' importance is either greater or less than a degree of tax-importance ; we must, therefore, -account them equal, or as Lieutenant Drummond says, allow them " equal weight in the estimation of the relative importance of a borough," just as in the House of Commons, the votes of the Mem bers of all boroughs, great and small, and also of the counties, are each considered as having the same weight when placed in opposite scales of a balance by a division of the House ; or as the votes of all freeholders (whether real or fictitious) in a county, are reckoned equal in value in the election of a Member of Parliament.—We must, therefore, allow that Lieutenant Drum mond has correctly done the duty imposed on him by his instructions from Lord Melbourne. Considerable liberty has been taken with Lieu tenant Drummond's professional reputation in the newspapers, and also in a place where more candour might have been expected. It has been entirely overlooked, that he is an officer in his Majesty's service, and that in this capacity he has been performing a duty of considerable diffi culty entrusted to him. He has been represented as an obscure person, one Thomas Drummond, who is very ignorant of the science of calcula tion, and needing much the enlightening influ ence of the 'schoolmaster. It would be well for the public service if all military officers possessed professional knowledge equal to that of Lieute nant Drummond. He is intimately acquainted with the mathematical sciences in their most re condite theories. He is an indefatigable and dexterous and inventive experimenter in physics, and he has rendered essential advantage to sci ence, as well as to the particular branch of the public service in which he has been long engaged, (the trigonometrical survey of Britain and Ire land) by a series of experiments on the expansion of metals, with a view to exact measurement of a base, and by his arduous exertions in the field, under the direction of Colonel Colby. His means of facilitating the Observations of distant Stations in Geodetical Observations, and his Method of Illuminating Light-houses; as recOrdedin the London Philosophical Trans actions, are well known to every cultivator of science in Europe. His experiments were ex hibited in the presence of Sir George Cockburn, Mr. Barrow, Captain Beaufort—all belonging t,) the Admiralty ; also by Admiral Sir T. Hardy, Capt. Hall, the late Lord Advocate of Scotland, Sir T. Brisbane, Col. Colby, and various other individuals, eminent for their professional and scientific attainments.
