lkir BS. JOHNSON. Sole Proprietor of the AMERI-
-1 CATS SOOTHING SY RC P for Children Cutting their
Teeth, removed from 94, Newman-street. to 28. York-place, City.
road, London, begs leave to caution Mothers and Nurses, at a
critical season, like the present, when children are teething, the
utmost attention ought to be paid to them, particularly as the
Measles and Chin-cough are so prevalent. If the irritation of
the gums comes with any other disorder very few infants recover.
Mothers ought never to be without the AMERICAN IOTH-
ING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for if a child awakes in the night
with pains in its gums, this valuable 31sdicine applied, will un-
media:ely open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent
fevers snd convulsions ; for should it come in competition with any
other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.
To be had, wholesale and retail, as above, and of all principal
Medicine Venders in Town and Country, ma 2s. 94. per bottle.
N.B. None are genuine, unless signed on the Stamp with Mrs.
Johnson's own hand-writing, as there are leveret spurious sorts.

SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so enrap-
tured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew
to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and,
" The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the most
agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the deside-
ratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with happiness on
earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss
hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passicns, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such atte .lion are attributable many of those hapless
instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, excite in the sufferer regret and self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effemtnize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but excess of every kind will
weaken the system. To all such, then, we address ourselves,
offering hope—energy., muscular strength—felicity ; nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multi-
plied proofs of twenty years' successful exprience.
The felicity of married life is sometimes disturbed by the sus-
pension of those blessings which should endear it—for the female
habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened,
and deficient energy improved into healthfulness and vigour.
In every ease we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with
Weft. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empiric from the
position an presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general prin-
ciples with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable
integrity as 31embers of the College of Surgeous, we refer the suf-
fering community of eithse sex (especially those entering into ma-
trimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given
for personal consultation ; and letters from the country are imme-
diately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and
Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how-
ayes distant. GOSS and Co. 11.11.0. Surgeons,

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Valparsian.
dated 31st May Yesterday morning the pnvsteer,
was brought into this port by the French corvette. Diligence. The
corvette had detained her in Quills, but rite Viceroy requested her
release to take despatches to lama. She sailed in the afternoon,
after dark, stood in towards the corvette, and was perceived cont.
ing in a way to rake her : to the astonishment of the French Clip-
tam, she flied on him, and attempting le board, was beaten off ;
then bore up, and tried to escape. The corvette had seventeen
hours' chase to get up with her. There is some fear that .the
French will release her, though the Captain is a mere pirate. The
Vigia, you have already been advised, is retaken. The only pri-
vates on the coast, that we know of, is the Binge, a very tuna!l
brig, formerly .the Lancashire Witch : we doubt her doing tuucn
damage, being a yery inferior vessel to the Quin:Anent'. The Fly,
sloop of war ; American schooner, Dolphin ; Congnesa, Peruvian
brig; and United States frigate, are looking out for her. We are
assured that the Tartar came from Callao, and cruised two days at
sea to pick up and detain these privateers. We have no
intelli-
game yet of any Spanish squadron being on this side the Horn.
His Majesty's ship Ceonbridge, Captain Mantis, sailed on the 27th

To Ma-Aquae THE _COMPARATIVE LIGHT GIVEN BY
Laura oa CANDLES.—PIace them a few inches asunder,
and a few feet or yards from a screen of white paper, or a
white wall. On holding a small card near the wall, two
shadows will be perceptible on it, the darker one by the in-
terception of the brighter light, and the lighter shadow by
the interception of the lesser light. Either bring the fainter
light nearer, or rt move the brighter ?lather from the card,
till both shadows appear exactly alike, of which the eye is
a very 'good judge. The square of the distance of each
light from the wall or screen, gives the ratio of its illumi-
nating power. If an arp!and flame, for example, and a
candle, stand at the distance of ten feet and four feet re-
spectively, when their shadows are of equal intensity we
have 10. and 4. or 100 and 16, or 61 and 1, for the relative
quantities of light.
Tut Moni.ss Movies SC.T.VOL•.—During tlin siege
of Turin, which lasted from May till September, a simple
Corporal sacrificed his life for the good of his couittry, with
a spirit equal to that of a ('urtius or a Scovola. The
French had male a lodgment in one of the subterranean
galleries of the citadel, from whence they could have pene-
trated into the body of the place. A Ci:7poral of Miners,
whose name was Mica, being at work under the gallery in
finishing a mine which was not yet primed, and kreseeir.g
that the enemy could not fail to have possession of the
citadel, unless they were immediately destroyed, devoted
his life to the safety of hie feilow-citizens. lie forthwith
primed the mine, and desired his companions to 4:11 the
King he implored his Majesty's protection for his wife acd
children ; then ordered his pioneers to retire, and tusks a
