BALM of GILEAD has JIL; -risen in repute to the very pinnacle of fame.—As it is now universally resorted to in cases of weakness and ema ciation, so' its benign and health-restoring qualities are also • become universal. , It is recommended. to the weak, the re lard, and debilitated, as an infallible and speedy. restora tive : wud, considered as a cordial, is essential to-the comfort e t Ladies of Fashion, being a preventive against cold, when taken before gr.ing out to Parties, Balls, Routs, or the Play. • It will enliven the spirits, invigorate the mind and the body, and thereby render them of a cheerful and fascinating dis position by its powerful qualities; and if taken after fatigue, ir will, with a few hours sleep, ta i ke away all languor conse quent on broken rest; and give relief from every unpleasant sensation. Some perhaps, unacquainted with its virtues, not baring perused the Guide to Health, nay be induced to ask. I.Vhat is the Balm of Gilead fit for?—What complaint does it cure ? To answer this it wilt be necessary to - '° Hull up t he Mirror to Nature." Let those who are afflicted in the following manner reflect en the. Cause that produced such havoc upon " the whole some appetites and powers of life ' -'—Disordered stomach, A iry cough, weakness in the voice, hoarseness, shortness'of breath upon the least exercise, and relaxation of the whole system. Those afflicted with paleness, languor of the eyes, weakness of sight or memory, should take time to consider, as Lintimus says, that " youth is the important period for framing a robust constitution," and that " nothing is to be (treaded so much as premature excess." The foundation of a happy old age is a good constitution in youth; temperance and moderation at that age are .passports to happy grey balm From the foregoing observations, the propriety of a liquid form. for the administration of such remedies, in preference to any other, is obvious; and this Cordial Balm of Gilead (which is perfectly elegant in respect to smell, taste, and ap pearance) will be found to possess all the genuine qualities of analeptic for, besides the nutritious quality of a restora tive, it has a fragrant, subtle, oleons principle, which imme diately affects the nerves, and gives a kind of friendly motion to the fluids, yielding plenty of animal beat, the true source sof firmness and vigour. Mr. S. Lovell, from Bristol, writes—l declare that lam ',stored from a state of deplorable debility, weakness, and tbe horrid train of symptoms attendant on a nervous com plaint of long standing, by the Cordial Balm of Gilead. My complaint so emaciated me as to. be almost iticapal,le of per forming the duty in which I was engaged (as Mate in the . .t'rlawney, from this port to Jamaica for six voya ges ) at sea, , Dr at home. • But happily that valuable medicine of yours has restored my health and invigorated my constitution, which bad previously been impaired by great exertion and heat of climate. I assure you my wife has taken the Cordial Balm rg Gilead for a complaint in her stomach, attended with a variety of distressing and alarming symptoms of debility, with Success ; being now perfectly free therefrom. Mr. W. Miller, printer, of Bath, declares, that 'he al 'ways heard the greatest, encomiums of the Cordial Balm of 'Gilead, for the universal satisfaction it lias given, to those Who have purchased it. Cowdry and Boden, printers, write from Moichester, say-. log—The demand for your Cordial Balm af Gilead has cer tainly_been more than for any medicine that has ever conic Vithin our knowledge and experieuce ; dud from the conti nuance and increase of that demand, as Well as from the ex pressions of approbation, which we have heard from the pur chasers, we believe it to be intrinsically salutary, balsamic, and good, well calculated to administer to the comforts and relief of the afflicted.

STEANI BOATS. Mr.-ALExANDERTILLoCR called in, and examined. Will . you state where you reside ?—,At Isling ton. And what is your profession ?-1 am Editor of the Philosophical Magazine, aitd sometimes 1 ant cailed on to act as 'an Engineer ; and I am Editor and Proprietor of the Star Newspaper. Will you be so good, as you know the object for which we are Met, with regard to the safety of persons in Steam Boats, to- mention what, sug geitions you - have- to make to the committee on the subject ?—My opinion is, t hat ..attending to what should be attended to in everyliteam en gine, and employing proper engineers, a steam. engine would be perfectly safe, whether with high pressitre or low pressure. The boilers ought al ways , tia he furnished with safety valves ; and if they suspect: the possibility of ,having a stupid man,.. one stf the valves should be covered and out of , hiat 'reach with a box oy , lr it,. but perforated so. that you may see when the steam operates on it; mercurial valve is also very good.; that is an in verted syphon, with a column of mercury pro portioned to the purposes for which it is to be em ployed. - . 1)o you apprehend much danger to arise, in case of explosion, front that Mercury if it was . employed ?—No, because the fubels always per pendicular, and it the mercury shoots out, it goes away and falls down in rain s . I am of opinion, a boiler may be made safe either of wrought or cast iron, but for great strain I would prefer cast iron, Conn -- y to-the opinion of many people, und• the reason I would prefer it is the same for which it is preferred in making cannon. It is not possible to get tbiekplatea of. wrought iron perfect through out, and you trust at last to rivets in joining them, but cast iron boilers can be made of any strength you please ; instead of • having a:boiler that will stand sixty, it may be made to stand six hundred, of either wrought or cast iron. Another reason why 1 would prefer cast iron is, ' that the . sheet iron 'corrodes much quicker and destroys by_oxy dation, so that, the -boiler may he safe when first set up and stand its proof, but very soon become unserviceable, or at least comparatively so. Boil ers should always be cylindrical, and for an ob vious reason, capacity should be got by length and number rather than by diameter., There,is no more danger to be apprehended from.stearn as to bursting, than from the employment of Condensed' air, only that the water may scald ; but as to the danger of the fragments being scattered about, At is the same with air as with steam, and yet all the engineers constantly employ cast iron receivers, condensers, or air vessels where pressure is wanted. Is not cast iron liable to suffer some material injury from the contraction and expansion/0y heat and subsequent cooling ?—Whether a' boiler be made of wrought or of cast iron the metal expands and contracts, and' expansion or contraction is - more or less injurious in proportion as it is often repeated, but it does not prejudice a boiler made of cast more than one made of wrought iron. - - Is it not more iiijurious to east than to wrought iron boilers ?—No, I do not think it is. In case of accident by explosion in a cast and wrought iron boiler, which, in your opinion, would be attended with the greatest mischief to the persons about it ?-.--If an actual explosion takes place, I should think front the cast iron, but I conceive that a properly constructed cast iron boiler would be stronger, and therefore would not explode so soon. A boiler should be proved with cold water, if it is to be applied to high pres sure. Are you not aware that cast iron, notwithstand ing the greatest possible attention of the founder, is liable to cavities in the interior substance of the metal, which renders is uncertain when exposed to great degrees of beat ?—There may be cavities in cast iron, but a boiler being proved. to a strain beyond that it is to be exposed to by heat, the safety of the boiler is secured ; for the tempera tare never can be at that point which will endanger a fractute. from that circumstance. Do you mean by that answer to, say that the rarefaction- of the air In that cavity may not he so great by the-heat as to occasion its bursting ? It never can, because the air that produced that cavity was at a white heat at the time the iron closed upon it, and it never can be brought to such a heat in working a boiler ; ray opinion is, that by a very high proof at the commencement, and attention to it, you may always have a safe boiler of cast iron. [To be continued.] , • PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. As it must be gratifying to the loyal people of this Country to. know the sentiments which pre.vait 'all Over the Empire, respecting the conduct of vernment, and the stated public affairs, we shall proceed in our plan Of giving extracts from all the respectable Provincial Journals, and therefore we insert the following article from. - The-,(llt-zn: LIN) Correspondent " The last Letters from- England .indicate the prevalence -of it satisfied and-a - firm confi dence among the great body of the public, in con seqncnce of the measures which Wave been taken to save :he country from being huiried away into the devious courses of etperiment, uproar, and anarchy. '[he Constitution of England is now so settler) in practice, and ell its oi,e-rations are so well regulated and so well under.food, that, -in factk there , iS , riothing left An- diitpute abont, of concerning which any strong dissension can be Supposed to exist. The -three Estates of the Con stitution have their regular: orbit S-defined, -and each reyolvei,within its= own sphere, by known aud.establishecl, powers, and after such manner • and form as contributes to the harmony, as well as to the inoral'ellieacy, of the entire system. WO, k ing as it has•done, , it has conduced to the ad-: vancement, of the nation, the : good of the people,: and the honour of - the British name.. It has ob tained for theta a share of prosperity atid comfort, renown and grandeur, niagniticence and 'glory, infinitely transcending in quantity, as well as in luStre, any thing heretofore enjoyed., by any dis tinct portion of the human race. Producing ef fects of this sort, there can be no necessity for ebanging,this great and prolific cause—there can he no svisilont in exposing to innovation, and all its alarming.uncertainties; that which has been the fountain of such multifarious blessiro can be no justification for treating it wiLti any te merity. Outside the!boundaries,• the known and visible demarcations of our Constitution, all is enveloped in uncertainty and the ocean of meta physics, withohr shore or limit of any sort sur rounding it,as' the visible sea embracesthe islands which we inhabit. If we would hazard a voyage of exploration upowthis trackless and infinite sur face, for .the chance of being better than, the greatest, and the most renowned of nations— wheee conifott is only understood, wherearts, science, and-letters, have outstripped all contpe .tjon,,, and where moral feeling and sentiment are more pure and just than in any country—we shall hazard all that for'which we are adMired and an- . vied, by the world7---the whole body !of our tangible, enjoyed, felicities--and we cannot reasonably flatter ourselves with the discovery of a single benefit ; even if we knew thit be nefits were to - be, found; on such ,experimental enterprizes. nation, since the creation of the world, that could adduce such testimonials in fa vour of its Civil ConstitutiOn as we can do, ever wished change -it--and tiO nation, which, with - a worse Constitution than our -ancestors would condescend to endure, ever ventured upon the sea of metaphysics, •to roam in quest of something better, that was not i fempest-beaten .in the at 'tempt, and drivery, as the sport of the hurricane, over the wild waters of confusion, without -ever leaching that ideal destination which it was vainly seeking to discover.. Why,,then, should we over leap the safe enclosures' of our liberty, and plunge :,into . .oe billows of destruction The reflecting mass of the people do not de . , ttre thaSe 'desperate experiments.' Within the circle of our Constitution, they know that all'is . safe, plain, intelligible, established, and enjoyed— • the war of theories, concerning the rights and functions of the co-estates of the realm, is 'at Test—the practice., is smooth, and salutary,' and effective; and every man can discern his own, and. the public rights, and find out a simple and legi timate way to the possession of them. Without the Constitution, they'know—and they have their ' knowledge from appalling facts, and astounding; examples—all is wraps up in clouds and dark ness—and the optata,' arena lies only in the region of conjecture—therefore, these, the reflecting. - body of the people, desire to be no better'than they are, in' their civil condition—they wish to preserve that' bleb they have—to save it from officious innovation, and pernicious experiment— . and they are contented : to see strong'and vigorous' measures adopted,, and to place a generous confi- • dence in those who are to exercise and administer such measures, rather than have matters, of such profound importance and inestimable value, left bare and exposed.to injury or destruction. " Liberty is, not the end, but a means of .ob taining an end—namely, the greatest portion'of human felicity which our natures and our duties: will. suffer us to obtain. We should not scanda lize our natures to obtain liberty, for its own sake; tior violate the whole of our highest duties . to possess it, according to wild and fastidious fancies—but it is worthy of the best and noblest of the human race to pursue liberty, in order that, being obtained, mankind should he the happier ; and it is consistent with the 'soundest and the wisest principles of human reason, that, when obtained, it should be applied to its grand purpose of enlarging the happiness of its possessors. The wisdom and virtue of those who have gone before us, have not left their posterity unprovided in the distributions of civil Jiberty—and, working with this noble faculty, which impels and animates the general mass of British Society, the product of ,prosperity, of improvement, of diffused property, of .enjoyment, of cultivation, of moral advance ment, is infinitely greater, within the last twenty years, than ever was supposed to be attainable.

Mr. 01-HANI gave notice that he would, on a future day, make a motion to discontinue the practice of printing sermons preached before the Corporation. He had two objects in view ; first to. prevent discussion on the subject, and also to save expences. BOROUGH COMPTER. Mr. DaviEs : ►noved that a sum, not exceeding 20001.'be paid out of the BridgehOse 'estate, for enlarging and improving the Borough Compeer., He was anxious to avoid all discussion of the ge neral question what fund should finally bear this, charge. All he wished by the present motion was, to effect an important and indispensable im— provement without delay. • Alderman GOODBEHERE moved as• an Amend ment, that the committee on the Bridehouse es tate should superintend the application of the money. Mr. tiatFryrns said a few words, which %ve could not distinctly hear - . Mr. DAvtEs opposed this and -after a lon.g dis cussion on' the subject, some objecting to the mu tion being bronght on without precious notice, others objecting to the application of the•Bric'ge house funds to the purpose, and all, particularly the Lord Mayor, representing the absolute ne cessity of alterations in the state of the prison, th,e motion was withdraWn, and notice given for a future day. NEW POST-OFFICE Mr. ihßvEY;tovet for a return of all the egreeratrils eiltered into under the new he:, with those having property in St. Martin's-le-Grand, distinguishing those that were founded on the va luations of the city surveyor, and ‘th•ose arising from references and verdicts of Juries. . His:ob ject W a . . 3 to show that the surveyor estimated pro, pery tar below its value, ) and thus gave occasion to enormous expences in references and summon ing of Juries. A surveyor ought to he appointed who should value property at its full price. Mr. Davies said, that the valuations were suf ficiently accurate, though they .never came up to the extravagant ideas of such proprietors. The COMMON SERJEANT stated, on Friday last, :a Jury had given 5401. where the Surveyor had only valued 3001.; but the property was only a good will, and the party had estimated this inde 'finable property at 2,4411. • After some farthe'r discussion, the motion mas withdrawn, and notice given for a future day: THE OLD COURT 'OF SPAlN.—Arcounts from Romestate, that' the old Court Of Spain is very .melancholy. The King, the Queen, and- the Prince of Peace, have each their separate table., Thislast ha's . . made a purchase of the villa Mattei, formerly occupied by the Archduchess Marianne. „The Qtieeti of Etruria visits her parents only from -eti quette, though she loves them tenderly. But slie wishes to avoid Don Manatl Godoy, whom she abhors from the bottom of her heart. The young Prince, her son, continues to justify the most sanguine hopes. The King and Queen of Spain always defend, , against every one, the Prince of Peace.—" No one - in Europe," they both say, " knows better than we do his lo y .:1 and disinte rested. intentions. It was not his fault,. not only that Spain has not taken her proper .station., • brit also that . the blackest of crimes were not avoided during the French Revolution. The Prince of PeaCe hid the idea of proptising to the Natioeal Convention the cession of Florida, in order to ob tain the removal of Louis XVI." • .SEA-BATHlNG.—(Southsea, Plants.)—We 'have remarked that whether. it be owing tu, the gre:;t heat. which lately prevailed, or to, the superior. ac cotutuodations which are now found at this place, but so it is, that the number of bathers on Swill:- Sea beach this year, exceeds that of most former years. Indeed the fineness of the beach, the pu rity of the water, which rushes in direct from the Channel, unadnlrerated by any river water—the Southern aspect of the shore—the sheltered situa tion of Portsea hiand—the variety of sequestered walks along the sea-side, as far as Fort Cumber land, and round the villages of Fratton, Kingston, Milton, &c. togetherwith the conveniences of the new Subscriptionßooms,and the quiet state of these towns in Peace, cannot but attract a considerable number of the neighbouring invalids in the summer season, to Sovhsea and the vicinity of the,beacb. In all England there is not a More healthy spot than that on which Portsmouth ,Portsea,and Soutla sea stands. And round the whole circumference of Great Britain, there is not a more eligible lion for sea-bathing. •
