FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISNI, RHEUMA TIC GOUT, TIC DOULO REUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC F EVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now for the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al though in the present. age of imposture it is difficult tie put for ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on tke public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Felling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow creatures, and of duty towards himself. Ile, therefore, no longer hesitates to adept this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him self of a very obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty ears' standing, and although on that occasion he has] been confined to his bed-room for two months, he was enabled to walk two miles within six hours after the application. Since that period thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been cured by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie tor's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary efficacy has been for years tested by several medic be al gentlemen of distinguished eminence, who declare it to the greatest discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy consists in its being withan in noxions vegetable com p ound, in the perfect security which it may ke used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and timid patient, and in the certainty of its brig a sound, safe, and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all their terrible and agonizing forms.

The Work which is new presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ci dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, en perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, liart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real muse of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. Tht CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point outt he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

It is from this statute that you have selected SPORTING I TELL!. GEN CE. a paragraph, part of the 25th section. That p a ragraph certainly bears upon the present ques tion. For, whereas before that enactment, not only public mooting., which , 1 may call primary . assemblies of the people in their various districts, might elect a Convention of Delegates, but also societies or clubs, or select bodies might equally elect such a convention ; bat by the 25th section, societies or clubs are prohibited from electing any delegates, and, of course, from constituting any convention. The law then is this : The people meeting in any district, in what may be called a primary assemblage, that is met pro hac vice to elect the delegate, may do so without any infringement of the law. But if any portion of the people first form themselves into a society or club, and after that such society or club elect a delegate or dele gates, such election is a crime, and the convention of such delegates is of course an unlawful assembly. This distinction has been taken always upon the statute since it was passed, and is the plain meaning of its enact ment. Indeed, in your own paragraph the legality of such a convention as I speak of is distinctly admitted ; i. e., a convention of delegates selected by public meetings. It is true that you add that such a convention would be " surrounded by the meshes of the law, and would not be secure from a tyrannical Go verement." Pardon me when I. say that this is trifling with the subject. There is no law to prevent or punish such a convention as I speak of. What meshes can a non-existing law have in aid of any Government, how ever tyrannical 2 Upon the whole, therefore, I assert most positively that the convention which I propose would be a per fectly legal assembly : that there is no law, nor are there any meshes of law, by which any person can he punished, inconvenienced, or troubled, by belonging to such a convention. You will be so good as to observe, that I do not pretend to say that the convention such as I sug gest, would be the best mode of proceeding to forward the cause of Reform. All I say of it, is, that- it certainly would not be an illegal proceeding—that it certainly stands clear of 'the meshes of the law—and, finally, that I think it would be an exceedingly useful and therefore a very advisable plan. Centralization seems to me to be absolutely necessary to the success of any efforts to obtain further Reform. For that purpose it appears to be absolutely necessary, or at all events eminently useful, to have a permanent-body placed in Lon don, possessing the confidence of, and authorised by as many Reformers as possible. If this plan be nut a good one, why is not a better one suggested ? I have not the least attachment to my own notions upon the subje.t : all I want is, to see the apathy of English Reformers removed, and the cause of Common Sense and Common Honesty—that is, of effectual Reform, vivified and promoted. I very respectfully, hut most earnestly, press upon the Reformers of Leeds the absolute necessity of a general and central organization of Reformers, in order to have any prospect of success.

SOIREES MUSICALES. The Leeds Times contains the following article on the same subject :- -L-14"3 lA. RELATING TTOIONS POLITICAL ASSO . The following contains the whole of the law on the subject of political associations. It has been drawn up for us by an old and tried Reformer of some fifty years' standing. There are but two statutes-39 G. 3, c. 77—and 57 G. 3, c. 19, which can fairly he said to relate to our sub ject-52 G. 3, c. 104, against illegal oaths, being re enacted in 57 G. 3, c. 19. The first 23 s. of 57 G. 3 relate solely to public meet ing, the clauses have expired. S. 24 57 G. 3—is a recapitulation of the declaratory part of 39 G. 3. The declaratory part is followed by an enactment suppressing by name Spencean Societies —as 39 G. 3 suppressed corresponding societies, or rather the Corresponding Society, and all its branches, divisions, &c. The declaratory part of 57 Geo. 3, is as follows : " Whereas divers societies and clubs have been insti tuted in the metropolis and in various parts of the king dom of a dangerous nature and tendency, inconsistent with the public tranquillity, and the existence of the Established Government, Laws, and Constitution of the Kingdom." Now, although other parts of the Act make no exceptions, I contend the Anti-Corn-law Asso ciation cannot be brought under the above defini tion, though some timid people cannot be made to believe as I do, and therefore it has been thought b et t e r to say that our auxiliary societies are inegal under the Act that no man may hereafter comphair. o f being misled. No Grand Jury . would find that either Anti -Corn-law, or slavery suppression, or either of the Agricultural Associations, were consistent with the existence of the Established Government, &c. ; were they to do this, a very large number of Lords and Commonsers, Bishops, Priests,; and Deacons—La dies and Gentlemen —old iron-headed Wellington, Sir Bofiby Peel, &C., &C., would be shipped off to Nor fol.lshind, where we might fight out our old quarrels. The declaratory clause is continued thus : And the members of many such societies or clubs have taken unlawful oaths and engagements of fidelity and secrecy, and have taken or subscribed or assented to, illegal tests and declarations ; and many of the said societies or clubs elect, appoint, or employ committees, delegates, representative's, or missionaries of such so cieties or clubs, to meet, confer, communicate, or cor respond with other societies or clubs, or with delegates, representatives, or missionaries of such other societies or clubs, and to induce other persons to become mem bers thereof, and by such means maintain an influence over large bodies of men, and delude many ignorant and unwary persons into the commission of acts highly criminal." It then enacts the " suppression" of " Spencean clubs," &e. ; and then by " 5. xxv." it is enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act, all and every the said clubs or Societies, and also every other society o e r club now established, or hereafter to be established, th members whereof shall be reqired or admitted unlawful to take an y oath or engagement, which shall be an engagement within the meaning of an Act 37 Geo. 3, cap. 125, intituled—An Act for the more effec tually preventing the administering and taking unlaw ful oaths --or within the meaning of au Act-5 Geo. 3, cap. 104, intituled, An Act to render more effectual --the 37—&c., or to take any oath not required or a uthorised by law—and every society or club, the members whereof, or any of them, shall take or in any manner bind themselves by any such oath or engagement, on becoming or in order to become, or in consequence of being a member or members of such society or club ; and every society or club. the mewn bdl-s w hereof shall be required or admitted to take, sub scribe, or assent to, any test or declaration not required or authotised by law, in whatever manner or form such taking or assenting shall be performed, whether by signs or otherwise, either on becoming, or in order to become, or in consequence of being, a member or members of any such society or club." " And every society or club that shall elect, appoint, nominate, or employ, any committee, delegate, or d e legates, representative or representatives, missionary or missionaries, to meet, confer, or communicate with a ny other such society or club, or to induce or persuade any person or persons to become members thereof, — shall be deemed and taken to be unlawful combinations and confederacies, withing the meaning of 39 G. 3, c. 79, intitutled an Act for the more effectual suppres sion of societies established for seditious and treasonable purposes, and for the better preventing treasonable and seditious practices." Here, again, the kind of societies and clubs—against which the Acts are directed, are defined—and it is not to be expected that any Grand Jury would find a bill, or that any common jury would find that Anti-Corn, Slavery, Agricultural, &c. society, club, or league, was established for treasonable or seditious purposes. " And shall and may be prosecuted, proceeded against, and punished according to the provisions of the said Aid e'ery person tithe, from and after the passing of this Act, shall become a member of a ny such society or club, or who, after the pass- ,akin g. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Negri and Laurent, the originators of the Prome nade Concerts in this country, having succeeded in popularizing instrumental music, have undertaken to do the same good office for the vocal branch of the science ; anti have, for this purpose, engaged M Miss Nunn, Madame Pilati, Mademoiselle Pau line Santa, Air. Frazer, Signor Paltoni, Signor Galli, Signer A. Giubelie, and a well-drilled and efficient chorus, in addition to their now-celebrated orchestra of fifty instrumental performers. Vocal music has long been a desideratum at the Prome nade Concerts, and this want the Soirees Musicales most effectually and efficiently supply. Last evening was the first of these soirees, and introduced Miss Nunn and Signor Paitoni for the first time, we believe, to an English audience. Miss Nunn, who was prima donna at the Theatre Royal, Milan, is a very accomplished musician, as she proved by the manner in which she sang the duet " Dunque is son," from the Opera of Il Bar bieri, with Paitoni, and the terzetto 44 Zitti Zitti," from the same opera, with Frazer, and A. Giubelei ; but, unlike many other so-called good musicians, her science has not spoiled her natural taste and feeling, and she is one of the most ju dicious singers of a good old English ballad we have heard for many a day. She gave Russell's exquisite ballad " the Old Oak Tree," with a pathos and simplicity that forcibly reminded us of Miss Stephens. Like that " sweet Syren" Miss Nunn, appreciates too justly the beauty of the uninter rupted flow of a simple and touching melody to mar its effect by the introduction of misplaced runs and cadences for the mere purpose of displaying the tricks of her att ; and, like Miss Stephens, taking it for granted that the poet intended his verses to be heard and understood, she is careful and distinct in her enunciation, so that not a word of the song is lost. Her ballad of last evening elicited a well deserved and rap turous encore. All those who admire Miss Stephens should certainly make a point of hearing Miss Nunn. Signor Paltoni is a most hurnourous buffo singer, with a powerful bass voice. We hail his appearance here with feelings of great satisfac tion, for the English public will now have an op portunity of seeing what comic singing really is, and how possible it is to be exquisitely comic with out being vulgar. Nothing in the musical world stands so much in need of reform as the English school of comic singing. His aria " Mici Porn polli," from Rossini's " Cenerentola," was a rich piece of genuine comedy, and was loudly applauded. Having thus done the honours to the strangers,turn we to our old friend Frazer, who was received on his appearance, as an old favourite should be, with a hearty welcome. He sang a descriptive ballad by Balfe, entitled " The Young Soldier," for, we believe, the first time. This composition, which is one of a high order, may be divided into three parts--..the soldier's sleep before the battle— the fight—the soldier's death. Requiring great powers of voice to do justice to the music, it, at the same time, calls for the most tender pathos to give due effect to the feeling and sentiment. This combination of power and pathos is rarely to be met with. Frazer, however, did full justice to the song in every respect, and achieved a splendid triumph. He has completely made the song, and was rewarded with a unanimous encore. The trio " Pepataci," from "L'ltaliana in Alghieri," which he sang with Paltoni and A. Giubelei, was also admirably given, and loudly applauded. A. Gin belei, who was encored in the Aria " As I view now" (Vi raviso), from the " Sonnambula," sang with correctness and distinctness, and in the concerted pieces was a most effective aid to Miss Nunn, Frazer, and Paltoni. The introduc tory chorus to " Semiramide," and one of the cho ruses from the " Sonnambula," were most efficiently performed by the chorus singers, and the experi ment of introducing vocal music at these concerts, may be pronounced a thoroughly successful one, if any faith is to placed in the loud applause of a crowded house. In addition to the vocal music we had a solo on the oboe, admirably performed by M. De la Barre, and a selection of overtures, quad rilles, &c., by the orchestra. The house, we were glad to see, was crowded, and we take leave of the managers of the Soirees Musicales, with hearty wishes for the success of their praiseworthy under- THE STANDARD. —It is true as the Globe says, that the Standard suggested the retention of Acre and Cyprus; but who in the whole world, with the ex ception of the Globe, or ev, u without this exception, when the party virulence ol the Globe has not obtained , the nseendancy over its reason and candour, pretends to believe that thelStandar,l represents anybody or anything in this country but its own folly, spleen, and self conceit, by the daily display of which it labours assiduously to bring discredit and ridicule upon the powerful and pa triotic party to w hich it affects to belong,--Morning Post.

Stn,—Permit me to make a few.remaiks on the re ply to my letter in your paper of December 19, and I promise to intrude on your columns no further. The flippancy and ill-breeding of yo ur correspondent,slan guage, and his charge of " falsehood , " " pestilent heresy," &c., 1 pass by as the mere outpouring of sec tarian bile ; and, inasmuch as I do not feel called upon to deny the validity of my own baptism, or to concede a monopoly of that ordinance to any body of religionists, I shall still take the liberty of using the term " Ana baptists," in describing the sect to which that designa . - Lion belongs. I happen to know , that, during the• nistry of the late Robert Hall at Bristol, certain respect able. Dissenters, baptised in infan c y , were thrust out et his meeting house (but against his own Wisliet,) by his flock, and were not permitted to remain during the cele bration by their bigoted fellow-seetariaaJ of we. it they deemed to be the Holy Sacrament of the I/:rd's Supper ! So much for " religious :diet t y." Your correspondent bears testimony to my accuracy in one point : I wish I could return the compliment. .It would ill become me, to retort upon him the charge of false hood; but I will convince you that he is ignorant of the subject upon which he volunteers to et - die - hien yon:. So far from " the entire Church (Kirk) of Scoff:rid" being opposed to Apostolical Succession, the most di.- tinguished minister of that body in London, Mr. Com• ming, has recently published a volume upon that very subject, to prove that a quasi episcopal power remains in their General Assembly ; and has publicly declared, in the Christian Observer, that, unless he believed that the sueLession remained in the Kirk, he would renounce its communion. Moreover, by your correspondent's leave, I will add, that, being well acquainted with the elder divines of the Kirk, as well as of the Church, I can add my testimony to Mr. Cumming's, that they all take very high•ground on this point. In taking leave of the subject, I cannot but express the gratification which I feel at the good which such opponents as your correspondent. are unwittingly confer ring upon the reformed Catholic Church in this country. They have roused us to a sense of the value of our well-nigh forgotten privileges. We had dwindled into a mere Establishment—a sort of moral police to keep order throughout the land. But destroy, if you will, this establishment—the Church you cannot touch " merses profundo, pulehrior cvenit," Throughout England, (and I may add, America), there has' long been a spring of true Church feeling, which bursts forth the moment the surface is touched ; and it has been touched in so many places, that the springs are now becomes mighty rivers, and are swelling irresistibly. May the divine head of the Church overrule all for good ! I am quite as much a friend to " civil and religious liberty" as your corresimedent can be, who seems, how ever, desirous of keeping it all to hie - I'sdt. • Where charges of " pestilent heresy," and simile 11-3wers of theological rhetoric, arc so freely used, I always suspect the writer to be a bigot at heart, and only not a perse cutor, from want of power.

The deceased, Martha West, purchased A stone of flour of a baker named Shortland, residing at Floore, the day before Heyford feast—the 17th of October. It was taken to Heyford by Shortland's son, and was by him tipped into a stone jar which was placed in a recess on the staircase. It does not appear when any portion of the flour was first used, but on the 6th of November a pudding was made, of which the deceased and her husband partook. Immediately after they were both taken ill ; they sent for no doctor, but after several days recovered. On Monday, the 16th of No vember, the eldest son, Isaac West, went to the house to clean a clock ; on that day the mother made an other pudding., and after dinner all were taken ill with extreme sickness. On the 18th a grand-daughter of the deceased, having made and partaken of a small pudding of the same flour, was taken ill, with precisely the same symptoms. The child of a woman named Pin noels, who bad eaten part of the remainder, also fell ill.. Oa the '2lst Mrs. West died. On the 22. a a woman named Charlotte Townsend came to assist in the manage ment of the house for the widower, and made some broth, which she thickened with flour from the same jar. The old man having eaten of the broth, was again extremely sick. Still no suspicion seems to have attached to the flour ; and on the 25th Charlotte Townsend made some more broth, which she thickened in the same way, and of which nine persons partook, every one of whom suffered precisely as the others had done. Some suspicion was now excited, and Mr. Elston, the surgeon, of Bugbrook, was called in, who confirmed them. Portions of the floor were analyzed by Mr. Elston and Messrs. Greville, and were found ,to be strongly impregnated with arsenic. It was now deemed requisite to institute an inquiry into the es• cumstances, and, by the direction of G. Abbey, Esq., presence t o th f eb o Decem b e r. d);oof Martha examination stomachnwataiso disinterred two oaks distinctlyp l,lce o , n the a aad, c s tch t T h e. tained. The connection between the flour and the* death of the deceased seemed now to be proved, but , - the presence of the arsenic in the flour was still unac• counted for. George West, a son of the deceased, and the keeper of a general, shop in the same village, pur chased a pound of arsenic in August last. On Monday week he had 14 ounces left ; the remainder he repre sented as having been sold. The next day, when the constable made inquiry about the 14 ounces, West at first said the constable had taken it away with him the previous day, and afterwards that it must have been stolen during the night. He had been to Wee don on the Monday night, and on his return he was, he said, taken very poorly, and in piPting up the shutter he had fallen forward, and had broken the window. Through the opening he presumed the drawer contain ing the arsenic to have been abstracted. Oa W &eines day, Superintendent Young found linsi in bed ill. Young took him into custody, and under the mattrass disco vered a bottle of laudanum, which was missing from the shop. At the close of the t hird da y 's inquest he was brought to this town and kept in custody until Tuesday last, when he was taken to Heyford, and the inquiry was resumed. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Blackwell, one of the daughters of deceased, that on the Sunday following the death of Martha West, George was asked to stay and dine at the house. He said he would, and proposed to go and order some flour of a person named Claridge. Mrs. Blackwell then reminded him that there was flour in the house, upon which he begged her not to use that flour, his,mother was so set against it that he should never forgive himself if any thing happened to them. He told her she had better give it to the pigs. Ultimately, at the close of an in quiry which lasted till between twelve and one, the , jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against George West. CHRISTMAS DAY. (EY LEIGH HUNT.) Of the three holidays, Christmas Day is, for many reasons, the greatest ; and one reason among others is, that it stands out of the winter time, the first and warmest of them. It is the cyo and fire of the season, as the fire is of Christmas and of one's room. We have always loved it, and ever shall ; first (to give a child's reason, and a very good - one, too, in this instance?, be cause Christmas Day is Christmas Day ; second (which is included in that reason, or rather includes it, for it is the greatest), because of a high argument, which will, more properly, stand by itself at the close of this article; third, because of the bellies and other evergreens which people conspire to bring into cities and houses on this day, making a kind of summer in winter, and remind ing us that " The poetry of earth is never dead ;" fourth, because we were brought up in a cloistered school, where carols bad not gone out of fashion, and used to sit in circles round huge fires, fit to roast an ox, making inconceivable bliss out of cakes and sour oranges ; fifth, because, of the fine things which the poets and others have said of it ; sixth, because there is no business going on,—" Mammon" is suspended ; and, seventh, because New Year's Day and Twelfth Day come after it ; that is to say, because it is the le a d er o f a set of holidays, and the spirit is not beaten down into common-place the moment it is over.

This principle was about seven or eight years since extended to the bow, by that talented man Mr. Richard Blake, builder, of Portsmouth Dock-yard, to whom the naval service is much indebted for numerous inventions appertaining to the building of ships of war. The Vindictive, a 50-gun frigate (now in Dock at Ports. mo uth, preparatory to commissioning), is the only ship that has been built with a baw of Mr. Blake • but not having ever been commissioned , we shall be dad to find this ship tested by fair experiments with any ship o f k,e class; the increased number of guns she will be abler 0 get to bear forward, is a great desideratum attained, with out producing any deformity in appearance,which.unfortu- nately characterized the original " round stern."... , flainp- shire Telegraph.
