Mr. Valiance thinks it necessary to caution the Public against certain spurious publications on Brandy and Salt printed in London and elsewhere, the contents of which have been pirates! from his work or that of Mr. Lee, or both, and in the attempt to disguise the original, the concoctors have se riously and injuriously reisadvised the use of the remedy. The Public cannot, therefore, be too cautious in asking for Val lance's or Lee's Edition, as none other are authentic, or to be depended upon. Steps will be immediately taken to suppress the piracies. No. 36, OLD BOND-STR CI EET, and No. 1, OLD JEWRY' TY. THE VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by Mr. E.

MOST IMPORTANT SCIENCDINCOVEERY IN MEDICAL Cr Vincet veritas et prevalebit " FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA TIC GOUT, TIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, 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 to put for ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Feeling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it will confer on mankind, he c o nscientiously 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. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to adopt 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 years' standing, and although on that occasion he had been confined to his bed-room for two months, he was enabled to walk two miles within six hou rs 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 medical gentlemen of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with which it may be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and timid patient, and in the certainty of its being a sound, safe, and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all their terrible and agonizing forms. Original testimonials in confirmation are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3, Friday-street, for the inspection of those who may wish to sati.fy themselves on the subject. To be hail of Mr. Feaver, Friday-street.

In bottles at 45. 6d.,115., 155., and 30s. c The label bears the , au tograph s i g nature of the proprietor. N.B.—The public are requested to refer to the London morning papers, from the 6th to the 12th of July last, for a let ter from Thomas Schofield, Esq., relating the extraordinary cure effected on him by the use of this embrocation. COURT OF SEWERS FOR THE CITY AND LIBERTIES OF WESTMINSTER AND PARTS OF :lIIDDLESEX. Yesterday a Court of Sewers was held in the Conrt house , Soho-square. The Chair was taken at 12 o'clock by J. L. Donaldson, Esq. • The proceedings of the last Court were read. The collectors delivered in their reports. The clerk gave in a report, from which it appeared that in the Western District there was only 3441. un collected out of a rate of 16,0001., and there was in the hands of the treasurer 1,4101. 18s. Captain ACKERLY, of No. 5, Swallow-street, Re gent-street, applied to the Court to take cognizance of A spring which formerly existed in Golden-square, bat the important properties of which had been lost to the public in consequence of the neglect of the trusted of the square. In looking over some old books of the time if Elizabeth, he had found that there then existed in 'he site of Golden-square two springs—one metaline, Ind one an ever-green spring ; the metaline one was eery celebrated in scorbutic and other complaints, as well as for sore eyes. Being rather weak in the eyes, he sought for the spring to bathe them in its waters ; but he found that, in consequence of the improvements in Regent-street, the two springs had been con aected, the waters of both became mingled, and the properties of both were destroyed. In the time of George the Second an octagon railing was run round the spring, and up to the year 1825 people who were suffering under disease received much benefit from bath ing in its waters : but in that yea: the railing was en larged, and the publ::: shut out. He respectfully sub mitted to the Court, that under the various Acts regu lating the proceedlukof the Court, the Commissioners had power and ,i\lrisdiCtion over the spring ►n case of the default of the trustees of the square. It would be of infinite benefit to the public that the springs should be restored. After a short conversation, The CHAIRMAN said that Court bad no jurisdiction in this matter. The proper Court to apply to was the Queen's Bench. Captain ACKERLY was sorry for it. He had done his duty. The inhabitants of the square were very anxious to have the springs restored. The Trusteesiof the Catholic Chapel in Golden square appealed against the rate upon them as being excessive. The CHAIRMAN said they came too late. They had had notice of the assessment ; they had been told of the proper time of appeal, but did not come before the Court until after the decree had been made. Mr. Brown, an agent of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, was summoned for having broken into the sewer opposite to the Courts of Law in Palace-yard, Application bad been made to the Court, and it was granted, conditionally that leave was given by Mr. Barry, whose sewer it was. A lengthened discussion ensued ; one party contend ing that Mr. Barry obtained the leave to make the sewer as the agent of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and it being, consequently, their own sewer there was no necessity for a written permission from Mr. Barry. The CHAIRMAN said it appeared as if there had been some disagreement between the various officers of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. All would have been right had Mr. Barry been applied to for a written authority. The orders of the Court had been treated with the utmost disrespect. Mr. LESLIE thoughts the facts of the case were these. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, through Mr. Barry, built a sewer—they were the pro prietors of the sewer and wanted to break into it ; they applied to the Court out of courtesy ; leave was given. If they obtained p e rmission from themselves, would not substantial justice be done if Mr. Barry's written au thority was produced ? The CHAlRMAN — Certainly. Mr. ma t i. te E r S . LlE—Why, then, waste any more time upon the Mr. Brown was ordered to produce to a future Court, either the written permissio n of Mr. Barry or i.he Secretary to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. It, was then proposed "to sanction the order of the Court, on the 6th November, for building a new gully in Southwick-crescent, Paddington, estimated at 21/. Ditto ditto, of 13th November, for a further payment of 201, each, to Messrs. Sibley and Taylor for additional buildings surveyed by them in the Eastern Division, which Mr. LESLIE said he had two objections to make to the payment of the 20/. to Messrs. Sibley and Taylor. In the first place he contended it was the duty of the Jury to return all property that was to be assessed to the s,wer-rate ; .and, secondly, that the Court possessed no power under the Act of S , vvers, to enter into any con tract with professional valuators. . It would scarcely be necessary far him to detain the Court. by pro;ving that these g entlemen were professional valuators of property for the Court, for he held in his hand a copy of a letter from the Clerk of the Court to them, asking them to send in a tender, for valuing the property under the Parochial Assessment Act. That he considered was proof enough for the Court of the character Messrs. Sibley and Taylor stood in. Well, then, he had estab lished that the Court had employed professional valuators, which he contended was going far beyond t h e power given them by the Act of Parliament, the 23d Henry VIII. The next question then was as to the sum of money proposed to be paid to these gentlemen, and he was most happy to see so crowded a Court. He had no doubt so many gentlemen appeared there for the purpose of retracing the steps they had so unfortunately taken upon former occasions —(A laugh) —and refrain from putting their hands in the public purse for purposes which were clearly not authorised by the Act of Parliament. He held the bill sent in by these gentlemen in his hand, from which it appeared that they each claimed PO/. 15s. Now this sum of 241/. was to be paid them for assessing property which was brought into the assessment for the first time during the last 300 years. In their bill they charged for va luing nine churches, thirty-seven chapels, seven hospitals, three workhouses, barracks, &c. All these things were charged for. He had proved by the Clerk's letter to them, and their bill, that they were mere professional valuators employed by the ,Court. He would then go to the Act of Parliament, and from it prove that the Court had no power or authority for entering into any such contract, and had no right to touch one single shilling of the public money in order to pay for it. He had not the least doubt that gentlemen would preach to them about the equity and justice of paying for work which had been performed at t h e desire and by the order of the Cour t . His answer would he to such reasoning that they h ad no right to I ex ceed the powers given them by Ac t of Parliament y.and t Many h i athey o t tw go worth l hailfim very fighting would say it as Commissioners ; and it wo uld be his unpleasant duty was but was a pparently a small sum of onl y 20/., b ut let Hon. Commissioners r emember that the gross sum was very near I ,0001, which had, been contracted t o b e pai d these gentlemen. He wo uld p roceed to sho w that the duty which the Court had undertaken t hrough these a t smallen to a l r sum, eprovead g- ntlemen was a duty impo sed b y Act of recg n grossly exceeded for. N o d oubt it h Parliament upon the Jurymen returned to that COUrt, by the Sheriff. The duty imposed upon the Commissioners and upon the Jury was clearly defined in 23d Henry VIII. chap. 5. sec. 3 ; and upon reading it he contended that all such valuations w ere entir ely in the province of the Jury. That section also p oin ted out the 'oflkers they were to appoint. The Co urt had pretty nearly. filled up all the offices named ; but one most important officer had never been named, viz., t h e Expenditor of the Public Money raised by the Court. The Court had itself usurped that important office. The CHAIRMAN. —The bankers ar© our expenditors of money. bankers • Mr. LESLIE the . were appointed Trea surers, as appeared in hadminute of the proceedings of the Court—the Court itself usurped the office which was to be created by the Act of Parliament. There was a case meotioned in Collis, wh ere an applica tion was made to the Court ol Chancery respecting the expenditure of seNers-rates, and an objection was taken and held valid that that wr not the prop er C ourt, t h ey m ust apply to the C o urt o Sewers. A CousatsstoNEtt s aid the 110 beforen' Gentleman was de viating from t he question the Cou r t. Mr. LESLIE contended that h e was p er f ect l y i n or d er, I he was showing; that the Court had no l egal power to nded of them the money dew. . pay ad the decree The CuAtittaAs re made by the Court rate, from on the making of ever) , , which it appeared that the Messrs. Druminondswere appointed treasurers anti expenditors o f the money. Mr. LESLIE had been misled by the imperfect mi nutes of the proceedings of ~,t he Court. Why did not .ce, , 11 ,, s ag ,cee . However, he contended all their proc 1 1 e , v that he had made it amply apparent that the Court had t h ese prof ess i ona l valuers, and that no power to employ li esciittn ents and assessments ought t o h e ma d e by a 1 jury.En It. might b e said that that would lead to difli - cultor it might b e impracticable—that w as f o r the Y , -- • , is not for that Court to • - Legislature —it %;, of the . act a g ainst actment Act of Parliatnent, under the direct en powersHe . which they der ived their to entering into engagements and paying money, to do neither of which things were they authorised by the sta• Ile II • would therefore move--" That as, by the lute.

Sibley and Taylor, Professional Valuators,' of any sum of money from the Sewers rates, for the duties imposed upon a jury, is an illegal application thereof ; and, as the Justices of Sewers have neither the authority under any statute or ordi nance made before the Ist day of March, in the three and twentieth year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth, nor by any statute made in or subsequent to that year, to authorise them to make such payments, this Court cannot pay the same." No one seemed inclined to second the motion. Alter the lapse of a few seconds, The Hon. Mr. BouvEau seconded it, for the pur pose of raising a discussion. Sir J. FARRANT had no wish to use language calcu lated to offend ; but, speaking in Parliamentary lan guage, he felt bound to say that the motion, which had just been put into the hands of the Chairman, was both frivolous and vexatious.—( Hear, hear.) It was frivo lous, because of the frequency of its being brought on, and the weakness of the arguments used to support it ; and vexatious, because of the attempt to make the Commission stultify its own acts.—( Hear, hear.) He would move as an amendment—That all the words after sec. 3 be omitted, for the purpose of introducing other words, approving of the proceedings of the Court, and ordering the money to be paid. Captain BOGUE, R.N., had much pleasure in second ing the amendment. Mr. WILLOUGHBY said he felt bound to oppose the motion, both upon legal and moral grounds. He would support the amendment, but he thought it would have been the better course to have met the motion with a direct negative.—( Hear, hear.) It was a question of law, in as far as the statute authorised them to incur the expense, and it was a moral .. i cestion inasmuch as the work been order of the Court, and ought to be paid for.—(Cheers.) The Court had come deliberately to the determination of employing these gentlemen ; and, in common honesty, they must pay them. As to the legal question, the worthy mover of the motion was attemptingto impose a new province upon the jury. He had always thought the jury were to be guided by the evidence laid before them. Surely the worthy gentleman would not call upon them to make a presentment without having heard evidence ? It was therefore the duty of the Court to prepare the proper evidence to be laid before the Jury, and that evidence was to be got up by surveyors, for that was what they ought to be called, although Mr. Leslie had thought it would answer his purpose to go a long, round-about way to call them professional valuators.—(A laugh.) Surveyors they were, and that was an office mentioned in the Act of Parliament. Nothing seemed to him more clear. He would, therefore, vote for the amend ment. Mr. CHAMBERS Said it might be a question of mo rality whether the Commissioners would pay the bill of these gentlemen out of their own pockets. In a legal view of the matter, he thought the Court had no authority to employ them, and so throw an additional tax upon the ratepayers. He would support the motion. Mr. R. GUNTER—Suppose that a Jury were impan nelled, could they sit down and judge of the value of a church or chapel, a workhouse, or a piece of ground ? Would they not naturally call for the evidence of some competent person to give them data to go by ? If he were upon a jury, he would certainly do so. They had empioyed the gentlemen, and must pay them. He would have preferred to have negatived the motion, but the amendment being before the Court, he would sup port it. Mr. HAWSES said it might be good in morals, that those who had always supported the appointment of these va luers, should put their hands in their own pockets, and pay them, but there would be no morality in calling upon those who had uniformly opposed their appointment to do so. Many persons would look with the utmost suspicion at the acts of the Court, composed as it was of many pro fessional men, when they saw them taking a course which inevitably oust give rise to much litigation. He would with pleasure support the amendment. Mr. ADEY said the question had been disposed of over and over again. If any one who knew anything of the law were to say that the Court had not the power to employ surveyors, all he (Mr. Adey) would say was, that he did not envy him his legal knowledge. They had the right to employ surveyors, and how could they do so, if they had not the right to pay them ? He really trusted the Court would not waste any more of the public time in discussing the question, which had been decided over and over again. A COMMISSIONER was disappointed at the course the debate had taken. From the notice on the paper he had expected to have heard the principle discussed, viz., whether they had the power to have valuations made, or whether it must be done by a jury. He thought Mr. Leslie had Idled in his object, and he would therefore vote for the amendment. Mr. LESLIE then rose to reply. lie denied that Messrs. Taylor and Sibley were the Surveyors of the Court. Messrs. Downe and Dowling held that ap pointment, they were the Surveyors of the Commission, the others were as he had called them, mere professional valuators—they went out with the professed purpose of valuing, not of surveying. His main proposition was that the Court had, through them, usurped the pro vince and functions of the Jury ; and he had proved, from the Act of Parliament, that the act of so doing was illegal. The Learned Commissioner (Mr. Adey) had again, as was his habit lately, indulged in accusa tions of " wasting the public time." He wished it to be distinctly understood that all petitions and appeals had been heard, and that if any time was wasted it was their own, and the public did not in any way suffer. He trusted the Learned Gentleman would not continue to repeat the charge, which was utterly unfounded. It had been too much the custom to prepare matter for the Jury—that was what he complained of. They had rendered the Juries almost useless. Ac cording to the Act, the Jury were to be the surveyors themselves ; and if any difficulty were found, it was the Legislature that should remedy it, not that Court. his motion had been called frivolous and vexatious. He was not disposed to lose his temper, and the more cspe &illy as, on the present occasion, he had such strong ground to stand upon. He had now discharged a dis agreeable, but he considered an imperative public duty, and would leave his motion in the hands of the Court. The motion was put, when there voted— For the amendment For the motion 4 Majority —22 Some routine business was then disposed of, and the Court adjourned. y , i nsa may h.osigivings ORIGIN OF THE NAMES WHIG AND TORY.— tashonety mologyedcsrietei sltsytfeoaiuniversally o tnti tasfhohtaoutieplos famous pnemde known.soea t o uefsrr designations, nlrneiosbsam teWhigsi Whigroaninterestings thea nfaaadesne Theret face Ctlt to ascertain Conservative. stillTory,oTsn euoorrtv 3fari usmot w , ti 0, vup h nerrli the e.co7fhbhoi improbable Rr h b: etlaaoeapvplre. conjecturetyi No two writers have agreed respecting the origin or e s p h l D a o that la"s t o h f e I t r e e r i n a t n T d, o i r l y , t w h •a e s ., fi im rs e t applied r t i o es c l e . r , ta a i n n d br t i i g m a t n t d h eorsoaumte banditti were known in his time under the name of Rap parees ; and he adds farther, p. 45, that the Cavaliers became distinguished in the reign of Charles 11. by the appellation of Tories, and the Roundheads under that of Whigs, though he cannot precisely tell at what period of that reign this took place. This statement of a fact does not throw any light on the meaning of the words. No person conversant with the Gaelic language appears to have attempted their explanation ; but the terms, being neither English nor Scottish, their s;gnification must be sought for in that language. The Irish partizans of Sir Phelim O'Neal called themselves, and were designated by others, as the King's friends or party, that is, Taobh-Righ, pronounced Taorie, a word equally used by the same party in the Highlands of Scotland. The word Co•thuigse, pronounced shortly Cuigse, is also a Gaelic term, and is applied to persons who mutually understand each other, who think alike on a given subject, people who enter into a compact to defend an opinion—in fact, Covenanters. It is, indeed, the most exprsssive and definite term that could be found for per sons entering into a covenant against the law. It amounts almost to a demonstration that the above deriva tion of 'illig, is correct, front the fact that it was first im posed when the " Highland Host," as it was called, was brought down and quartered on the Covenanters of the west of Scotland. The word was readily adopted by the more unmerciful soldiers of the Low cout,try ; but the persecuted people to whom it was applied as a stigma, took pride in it, and it was ultimately adopted by the supporters of Liberal principles, and the preachers of similar feeling, both in England, Scotland, and Ireland. It is remark able that terms of Si) local and limited a character should finally become the designations of the two political par ties so long known in these kingdoms, and, arising among the enthusiasts of a corner of the e mpire, should become widely spread, even beyond the limits of Europe and Ante rica.—D. M., Correspondent of the Athenmum. ODD IDEAS OF OLD ENGLAND.—AbOUt 700 years since an Arabian geographer employed at the Sici lian Court described the different countri,s of the world in a most curious and original work, which adverts briefly to England, and represents it as " a co nsiderable island, having the shape of an ostrich's head, and contsining flourishing cities, high mountains, great rivers, and spa cious plains ; the soil being fertile, the people brave, ac tive, and e nterprising, but the climate subjected to perpe tual winter," Hastings and Shoreham, with their shallow insecure harbours, then held the important position which has since been attained by Liverpool, Plymouth and other places ; though we learn, with fair national pride, that England, so tar back as the twelfth century, when only in the cradle of her commerce, could boast, as she now does, of a dventurous merchants and undaunted sailors. employed, Leigh, where a great number of hand-loom weavers arc usually and severe distress.

The mean temperature of the first sixteen days of November, 1838, as deduced from only one observation, recorded daily, was 51.25 ; of the cor responding period in 1840, 53.3125. Our last gale came from the south and south-west. I have heard that a vessel of some size was seen to go down with every soul on board, by the workmen employed on the Breakwater, who were themselves detained there by the state of the weather, and were utterly unable to make any effort to save their drowning fellow -creatures, es pecially as it took place when the tide was at its highest. and the gale most severe. The tide was the highest known for at least half a century, and flooded all the lower part of the town, making about half-way up Bil burr-street.y Had it not been for the protection of the Breakwater, the mischief to the lower part of the towe would have been incalculable. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, WILLIAM HAMILTON. Plymouth, Nov. 16, 1840. SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN AT LIVERPOOL. Although there is not in Liverpool any place of re fuge provided expressly for the reception of seamen who have escaped from shipwreck, there has, for the last eleven years, been an asylum, open day and night, sum mer and winter, where such persons are always most readily received, and where hundreds and thousands of seamen have from time to time taken refuge—we mean the Liverpool Permanent Night Asylum, in Froema sop's-•row. Had the poor fellows, mentioned by the Courier, bee - a - directed to that establishment, they would not only have found slicker ana warmth; but, under the circumstances described, food also ; and it is equally the subject of surprise and regret that they should not have been immediately directed to that place of refuge, where they would have been received with open arms, and taken care of until they had provided themselves with berths on board same of our merchantmen. _ It is a matter of great surprise that the Humane So ciety, with the handsome funds placed at its disposal, has not provided a place of refuge for shipwrecked sea men. This, one would have thought, would have been one of their first acts. We are happy, however, to learn, that the matter has been taken up by several in fluential gentlemen, and that there is a prospect of something being done, end that immediately. With regard to the gallant fellows who had risked their lives to save the shipwrecked seamen, it enhances their claim on the consideration of the Humane So ciety, and the public at large, to know that if they had left their fellow•creatures to perish, and passed on to Scotland, they would have been entitled to one third of the salvage.—Liverpool Mercury. A STRANGER. IN LONDON. There is nothing the inaagination7can picture more forlorn than the poor stranger who for the first time treads the streets of the crowded city. Hope whispers to him that what has once been accomplished may again be renewed in his person, and already he rides in a coach and four with gilded trappings, and has a host of powdered lacqueys to attend upon his person. But how many have entered the great city, full of high hopes for the future, and sanguine in their dreams of glory ? How few of these were heard of more, or escaped being swallowed up in the crowds whose portion is misery ? Everywhere they moved they found a barrier to oppose them. Here, pride poured down upon them, and spurned their modest talents,—there, pleasure wooed them with her thousand lures, and left them at last victims to despair. Deceit, fraud, cunning, drew their coils around them, till, stunned and perplexed, they sunk unresistingly into the snares and vanished from the crowd of strugglers. Now and then, alone, one emerged from the mass—pale, care worn, and unquiet. He has attained his object—he has wealth, and he may sit down to taste of those luxuries which haunted his young day-dreams. Alas! he has no longer the taste for enjoyment—he hasgrown cold and selfish—his old friendships have long ceased to exist—he could not keep them in the world ; and, though there are many round him, he knows they envy his wealth and care little for the owner. Riches have brought their penalty—he is sus picious, and his nights are spent in watching. He has no joys, no pleasures, but he has a splendid funeral when he dies, and a tombstocc that records that Peter Jones raised himself by his ow❑ industry to be an alder man of this ward, and died at the age of seventy-two full of infirmities, and (so says the stone) charity of the world. Something is added by way of example to others, but not a syllable of the feelings of the soui-,..tricken sin ner who, ere he died, reluctantly confessed that his toil had been all labour ill-spent, and that he would willingly have given up all his wealth to be the poor, happy, honest lad who entered London with three penny-pieces in his pocket, but a store of content at his heart worth all the honours that ever devolved on care-bent should ers.—Brighton Herald. ----- LARGEST VOLCANO IN THE WORLD.--FrOITI communications just made to the Geographical Society, i t appears that Kiruca, a burning mountain in Owyhee, on e of the Sandwich Islands, has a crater of more than nine miles ir c i r cumference, and lately threw forth a lake o f liquid lays one mile long by half a mile broad, emitting n intense heat and glowing with extreme brilliancy.

Feeling assured no memento.could be more tifying to the devout Christian, than a repress,-' tion of the pulpit from which that most.,extraordiL minister John Bunyan, expounde4 tfoin his B-i: - the pure tenets of ciospel through the kindness of a friend, leave to trdl,4 drawing from the treasured relic, in the Method.,.. Chapel, Palace-yard, Lambeth, where Air. Joark Mountford, one of the oldest and most zealous fol lowers of the late venerated Rev. Rowland Hi -„ officiates to the advantage of its numerous auditor It appears that the pulpit came from the meeting house, (used as a wheelwright's shop, preparatory to its being' pulled down,) in Zoar-street, whe7v , Bunyan was allowed to deliver his discourses, favour of his friend, Dr. Thomas Barlow, Bish, of Lincoln, to whom it belonged. (Dr. Balk was born in 1607, died 1691. It was by the cor passionate interposition of this divine, that Bunyv • was discharged atter an imprisonment of twel years and a half, for holding unlawful assen blies.) In this place Bunyan preached when ever he visited London ; and it only one days notice were given, the place would not conta half of the people who assembled. Thre thousand have been sometimes gathered together i• that remote part of the town ; and even on a dar' winter's morning, at seven o'clock, not less tha twelve hundred. He used to preach also in tl surrounding counties. A tradition has been preserved by the BaptiL congregation at Reading, Berkshire, that he sonic times went through the town, dressed like a cat ter, with a long whip in his hand, to avoid detec tion. The house in which the Baptists met fi,r worship stood in a lane, and from a back door tht,.. , had a bridge over a branch of the river Kennet whereby, in case of alarm, they might escape. The Baptist congregation at Hitchin is sui. posed to have been founded by him. The meet ings were held, at first, about three miles fror that town, in a wood, near the village of Prom ton, Bunyan standing in a pit or hollow, and tit( people round about on the sloping sides. " chimney-corner, at a house in the same wood, is still looked upon with veneration, as having bec% the place of his refreshment." About five mile from Hitehin, was a famous Puritan preaching place, called Bendish. It had been a malt-hotn: was very low, and thatched, and ran in two dire: tions, a large square pulpit standing in the angle! - and adjoining the pulpit, was a high pew, in whict. ministers sate, out of sight of informers, and from which, in case of alarm, they could escape into a; adjacent lane. The building being much deoave(:.. this meeting was removed, in 1787, to a place caller. Coleman-green ; and the pulpit, which was them held to be the only remaining one in which Bunya“ had preached, was, with a commendable feeling, carefully removed thither. Another pulpit is shown in London, in the Jewin-street Meeting.—Mirror. DEFECTS OF THE REFORM BILL (From the Halifax Express.) The Reform Act has been tried for eight yaart: 4 and has consequently had a sufficient trial to enable us to pronounce a decisive opinion on its merits. lts fects in matters of detail are manifold ; but most • these might easily be amended, were there uo u soundness in its general principles ; and it is that ti soundness which is the main cause of its failure. To particularize these defects in principle, we observe, first, that it retained the old system of dist* buting the representation amongst counties, division counties, and large and small boroughs,instead of dividi the country into districts, and giving each district a f. share in the representation A second defect in principle will be found in t, nature of the elective franchise, or rather franehist which it established. The Act not only retained tl varieties of franchise which existed under the old. syster. but it also added new ones, and thereby increased a complexities of the suffrage, instead of diminishing then. as it would have done, had one simple and general kit, of suffrage been established, and all the other. set aside. By extending the suffrage to ever:, householder who has . paid rates for a giver term, and has thereby gained some title to b regarded as a settled inhabitant ; and •by pr , venting the creation of fictitious votes, made by t) division of tenements, claims for premises not occupit as dwellings, &c.,—the practical working of the ineasur, would have been rendered exceedingly simple, an, would have included within the pale of political privi leges, a very large mass of the pOpulation, now renderer discontented by their exclusion. These we consider to be the two grand defects in tl , - principle of the Reform Act ; and one of the most pr - minent of its faults, as to matters of detail, is the annual gistration of the entire constituency. The harrassing n,- cure of this part of the machinery of the Reform Act, i! too,well known, and too deeply felt, to need much elu eidation. By its instrumentality, two serious evils arc incurred. One of these is the great curtailment of th number of voters, and the other is the annual revival o the party animosities of an election. A - notiier grievous error in the details of the Act, the requirement of the payment of a shilling, from cad. voter, for his enrolment on the register. This tax., small as it may be thought, has proved very obnoxious, and is a frequent source of disfranchisement. It ougl. never to have been enforced ; and its exaction has doi much mischief to the cause of Reform. These are some of the defects of the present electo . r system, as established by the Reform Act of 183.). A BATTLE BETWEEN A DOG AND A MoisTKE I —ln 1790, a curia us battle took place at W ore „ ter between a dog and a monkey ; on a wager of three gu i ne , to one that the dog killed the monkey in six minutes, the owner of the dog agreeing to permit the monkey to use a stick about a foot long. Hundreds of spectators assembled to witness the fight, and bets ran, eight, nine, and ten to one in favour of the dog, which could 'hardly be held in, The owner of the monkey, taking from his side-pocket e thick round ruler, about a foot long, threw it into the paw of the monkey, saying, " Now Jack, look sharp, mind that - - dog !" " Then here goes for your monkey !" cried th e butcher, letting the dog loose, which flew with a tiger-like fierceness. The monkey, with astonishing agility, sprang at least a yard high, and falling upon the dog, laid fast. bold of the back of the neck with, his teeth, seizing ore ear with his left paw so as to prevent his turning to bite. In this unexpected situation, Jack fell to work with his ruler upon the head of the dog, which he beat so forcibly and rapidly, that the creature cried out most eloquently. In short the skull was soon fractured, and the dog carried off in nearly a lifeless state. The monkey was of the middle size. TieE LATE STORM.—The information which has reached us from the out-ports gives a lamentable description of the effects of the late gale. Many vessels have been totally wrecked, and numerous lives lost. At this period the Shipwrecked Mariners' Benevolent Society have been rendered conspicuous, for those who have es caped from the wrecks have been hospitably received 113 the agents of that truly charitable Institution. We un derstand that the numerous cases which presented thew selves as objects of compassion have greatly diminishes the funds of the Society. We hope, however, that the public will render that support which will admit of th. Institution giving their aid in times of a like calamity. TIGIIT SHOES.—.I am not yet forty, but I at: old enough to have left off wearing tight boots. Beside. I have a theory of my own on this subject. I don't thiin small, straight, sharp.toed, squeezed-up feet are handsorrc They are not what Nature intended. The fore part of t 1 foot should be wide. The pedestal constructed to bear t; magnificent, upright, form of man should have breadth at,. ficient for the purpose. The foot of a Roman or a Greer' had more room to perform its constant and laborious avc cation. There is in the modern boot or shoe a savoar Chinese stupidity.
