bits, when the kisses of Inc meeting rendered him
rusudthle.
The CHAIRMAN intetposed, and said. he was
doubtful, as it was a scientific subject, of the pro-
lively of stoppmg him ; but he requested the
speaker to give cures of • less objectiousble cha-
raeter.
Mr. JAfteis resurned.--a-Brodum, Goss, &c. &c.
sere esch conapietionm, and each unrivalled in his
Brodum had told him (Mr. Jarvis) that he
.could produce a longer list of cures than Whit-
low. He sold his secret for 16.000/. and had told
'him that it was all stuff. Next came Joanna
Southenit. He was not sure, but he had been in-
formed that one of the most zealous members of Mr.
Whit law', Committee hart heels a believer of that old
tidy. Mr. Jarvis's paper nest contained the history
atm adventurer, who landed at Broadstairv, and
epmtnenced Doctor, curing his patients with bread
.pills only, but he turned out to have been a /oblong
-boy, mid is deserter from one of his Majesty's ship..
Another pretender lived et the Isle of Wight : he
amend by the touch only, tin(' bad, like Mr. Whit-
low, is Committee. He (Mr..jorvis) did not mean
to boast of his abilities. but he had lived forty-two
years, man and boy, in the medical world, and he
wool(' say, thist,bil *Mon was entitled to attest-
liop, and all use means taken chewed there was
nathtitg its Mr. Whitlow's r-medies. He cited two
• eases in which they had failed. and mentioned in
addition the case of Mr. Dorville as one iss which
erry would not have removed the disorder
they had been applied till the day of judgment.
Ten years ago Mr. Moore had called him the Chun-
tenor of the Exchequer (or Margate; now he would
call him what lie had called himself—the godfather
of Mr. Whitlow ; and sure lie was that Mr. Whit-
Sow must lave mime oaninotra feeling as to his cause
when lie recollected that Highgate Archway and
Drury-lone Theatre both fell to levees under his
god-pupa's care. His (Mr. Whitlow's) desire must
be effects, wet temporal. but radical effects. If he
Istodurod a less effect, then he would say that Hun.
Gentleman deserved to be sent to Coventry. [This
lost joke Mr. Jarvis declined with infinite glee was
riot in the paper; it was s veritable impromptu.]
The symptoms of impatience by the meeting be-
COT/1111V violent—
Mr. JARVIS declared, that as Mr. Stevens had
token plenty of time, so also should he. He at
length coucluded by offering to put three cases of
cancer under Mr. Whitlow's management, and to
forfeit from one to five thousand pounds if he cured
soy of them in three years, provided that if lie did
not cure them he should then forfeit the like sum to
him. Hr sat down after reading a letter from Sir
Ansley Cooper. and moving a negative on the Re-
solution proposed by Mr. Stevens.
Mr. Dotter LLB then addressed the meeting. stot.

ing the particulars of his case, which he contended
was entirely mistaken by Mr. Wlntlaw, and he Ina,l
in consequence sued for dud recovered back in tha
Margaie Court of Requests the sum of 34a. which
he had paid him.
• A Gentlrtiosio in the room here inquired who were
' the Commintimers of that Court ? . . .

The CHAIRMAN said, he was not entitled to •n
•mater.

The Gentleman wi.hett to know whether, in point
of fact, whether Mr. JArti. was not one of the
Comtnissioncrs I No answer being given, the
question was repented.
The CSAIROW4 decided that it was not entitled
to an answer. They vrere not there to try the Com-
missioners of the Court of Requests.
The Gentlenian--., I will tell you, Sir, why I
am nut to hive en riaserr. Because Mr. Jarvis was
- both witness and Comatti.stoner to try that question."
Dr. THOINTON rose stud stated some striking
cases of cure performed by Mr. Whitlow's reme-
dies. Some of the parttts were then in the ionni,
sod he called upon them to state their own cases
to the meeting. With respect to the case of •
lady in !list loose, her fiber hail told him
(Dr. Thloruton) that she had been mach benefited
by Mr. Whitlow's treatment, arid when he saw it
mated by Mr. Jarvis that she was as bad tar ever, he
could only suppose that lie had formed his judg-
ment of the erre a long time ago. With respect
to the means nerd to promote the curer, Sir A.
Clarke, Dr. Kemp, and ot,ler authorities; highly
commended vapour bathing for the cure of 11CrO.
/Ida.

Mr. HUSBAND confirmed what Dr. Thornton
bad staled with respect,to ha case and the advan-
tages he had derived from Mr. Whitlaw's remedies.
Mr. WOIGHT• ►aid as he had been alluded in by
Dr. Thornton. he would, if the meeting wished,
give them a sketch of his cure, and if any medical
gentleman wished it, he would remain at home all
..ay to-morrow (id the Royal Hotel), and answer any
inquiries they might think proper to make. He thou
•fisted that seven years ago lie bad received •
hurt in consequence of a fall from his horse, and
went op to town to Sir A. Cooper and underwent
an operation, and was told by that Gentlemen and
Mr. Heaviside that he must look fordo other remedy
bat • strong constitution, as medical skill could de
cothing more. From that time lie had occasionally
consulted Sir A. Cooper, and in January last he re-
wiled to the country,after consulting him and Mr.
Drodte, to oait the event. He remalued till July
lest, his health gradually giving way, when he braid
of the proceedings of this Committee, but had at
first little hopes. With great difficulty he got to
town again. Sir A. Cooper then expected that an
■hscels was forming. He thou sent fur Mr. Whit-
law and meted his cote to i without informing
Lim that he had wren Sir A. Cooper, ■nd Mr.
Whitlow's opinion agreeing exactly with his, he of-
fered to put himself under the care ; and though Mr.
Whitl•w would not promise him a cure, he had no
doubt he could gristly relieve him, He had •c-
-cordingly put himself under his care, came down to
Margate by steam, bring unable to bear the motion
d • csach, and hardly able to walk, but he was now
quite soother creature. He knew nothing of Mr.
Whitlow or his Committee, but he was induced by
gratitude to make this statement. and so well was
he cunvinced of the efficary of the remedies, that he
Lad requested the Secretary to put down his name
for a donation of ten guineas and an annual sub-
scription of two guineas.
"

Dr. THORNTON rrsomed. He observed oo the
prejudices which generally prevailed against what
was new. merely from the novelty, and instanced
vaccination. the steam-boats, gas lights. as cases
I. point. The Committee had found that the re-
medies of Mr. Whitlow bad done much good. He

•
would call upon these patients of his who hid been
benefited, to hold up their bands in favour of en
institution which west to extend those benefits to the
afflicted poor.—(At this appeal a greet number of
hands were held up in the room.)—He thought that
the two greet opposers of the, institution, when they
laid their heads on the pillow, would lament that they
had obstructed a charity which he trusted the meet-
ing would decide the Committee had done worthily
in bringing under their notice.
PSTIER MOORS, Esq. next offered himself to the
meeting, and was received with loud and long-
continued plaudits. He said the able speech of his
learned professional Friend at the bottom of, the
table (Mr. Stevens) had left him but little to say,
except to reply to something like buffoonery. The
Gentlemen on the right (Mr. Jarvis) had reminded
him of en acquaintance of 10 years ago. "Let me,"
said the Hon. Gentleman, remind the people of
Margate how i then defended their rights, and op-
posed the intended scheme of a joint stock Coal-
party." He had no ill humour to that Gentleman
when he called him the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer—for never was more ingenuity and industry
displayed by any Chancellor of the Exchequer in
taxing the people, than did that Gentleman in
promoting • scheme which would have done more
to pvevent growing wealth end prosperity of that
town than any other which could have been de-
vised. He (Mr. Moore) had opposed Rennie'd
being employed, because he kite* that he would run
them to great expense—and so be did, for he pull-
ed down their old pier, which had stood 250 years,
and built up two walls with the interval filled up
with chalk, which soon fell down. On the Gentle-
man's reniarkeabout Highgate Archway amid Drury-
lane Theatre, he should only say they were founded
in his total ignorance on both those subjects.
With respect to the business before the meet-
ing. he could ouly observe that he himself had art
his face against • public meeting, because he
thought it not required ; however, as it had taken
place, the meeting would now decide whether the
Committee were justified in making their Report.
The Honourable Gentleman here stated the first
public occasion on which he had been applied to
by Mr. Whitlow respecting • proposal to grow hemp
at Canada. It was on Mr. Whitlaw's return from
that place that lie (Mr. Moore), being very ill, first
took some of his remedy, which gave him in • short
time the merit substantial relief. He could say a
great deal to the Gentleman who had given them
the written speech : he confessed he did not like
written speeches, and for one reason—they came
from the head, and not from the heart. What he
could state wits, that he had seen many hundreds
ill, and he had afterwards seen them well; mid
what he blamed the faculty fur was, that they
would not investigate this for the public good. Of
the Margate cases the Committee knew nothing;
but of the 87 cases, every one except three were
desperate casts, and turned over by the faculty us
such, and out of these 87 cases 45 were cured ; and
of all these cases the Committee had had ocular
demonstration, independent of Mr. Whitlow._
This was the Report that the meeting were now
called upon to say the Committee were justified in
making ; end whatever cold water might be throats
in it, there was not a word in it winch the Com-
notwe would retract. Mr. Whitley, had nothingto
do with it. The Committee were a body of as re-
spectable, honourable, and humane iudividualo,
as any in esimence, who had come forward with
their purses. What they derired was, that the Re-
port should be printed and universally circulated;
that had now been done, mid they had nothing
more to expect, unleve the meeting should be iu-
clotted to come forward with their mites in aid of
the entire. _ .

Mr. KENNIE ohjected.to the report of the cases;
that it was loosely drawn up, unscientifical, and
not worthy of examinstiou. He would pledge him-
self, with 100 guineas, to bring in 100 cases, with
marks. See., and attested as cures. Every one
knew with what ease such csses could be obtained
io a place like London. He did not say that these
cases were of that description, but the meeting
had ao security that they were not. One gentle-
man had brought forward a charge of falsehood
against him. he could now produce the testimony
of the husband of the patient.—(Mr. Rennie here
introduced a gentleman to the meeting, but what
be said we could not certainly collect ; for, in addi-
tion to his labouring under the disadvantage of a
weak voice. he made some ludicrous mistakes in
his pronunciation of the letters V and W, forcing
them alternately to do common duty, which raised
a titter in the meeting in spite or the gravity of the
subject.]—We understood,him to mean to confirm
the statement of Mr. Rennie. That gentleman wrs
about to resume his address to the meeting, but it
being quite dark—
Mr. HUNTER proposed that the meeting should
adjourn.
P. bloom!, Esq. said, on the subject of ad-
journment the Committee had nothing to do. They
had proposed an asylum for paupers, and. all they
wanted was publicity. That had now been obtained,
and the single question was, if the Committee were
justified in makiiig that Report.
Mr. J•arts offered to withdraw his amendment,
if the Committee would accept the challenge be had
given.
A Gentleman observed, this was a question of
humanity, and not one of pounds, shilliugs. and
pence.
Mr. STEVIiNs thought, on the question of ad-
journment, the COilveiiirnce of the parties who had
called the Meeting ought to be consulted. It would
be highly inconvenient to many gentlemen to be so
detained.

The question wos then about to be pot, that the
meeting should adjourn till 12 o'clock on the fol-
lowing day, when
Mr. STEVINS again rose. mid moved that the
adjournment should be till that dad• six months.
Mr. Mtuoan seconded the motto'', which was
put and carried by a great majority, and the meet-
ing immediately dispeistd.
Several ladies and gentlemen afterwards forward-
ed their donations and subscriptions of money to
the Committee, which amounted to a considerable
sum.

SVe have already,ststed that the four yousnemi)i-

spiraley, had aoliciied the P,esident of the Court, as
a favour, to intercede for them that they might not

appears that the intercession of this Magistrate has
produced the desired effect. The four are confined

A private letter from Vienna, dated the 47th ult.
professes to give an account of the prevailing re-
ports on the subject of the Congress about to he
assembled. These, of courses posers no authority
but as the notions of German speculators may be
amusing, the writer begins will' the rumours re-
specting the Germanic confederacy. New " medi-
alisationa," lie says, are spoken uf. It is also said
that important modifiestmus in whet is called the
constitutional system of the Germanic Confederacy
will take place. Count Buol Ee Schauenstein,
President of the FrenkfOrt Diet, had gone io Paris,
where he intended to pass some time ; but a courier
from the Antic Chsncelte►y recalled him to Vienna,
whither he proceed in great haste. Prince Metter-
nish wished him to be present at the Congress in
which the future fate of Germany is to be discussed.
The writer then proceeds in the following terms :

• Now that it appears acknowledged in principle that the
integrity of she Ottoman Sutra ought to be guaranteed by
t►e Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance, and that the Greeks or
other Christman who reside in the Tan kish dominion. ought
to be abandoned to their fate, the approaching Congress will
have but little to decide respecting the affairs of the East ;
but t►e affairs of Italy and the Spanish peninsula parent
ample materials fur future deliberation. It is asserted that
the Austrian army stationed i■ Italy, far from being recall-
ed, will, on the contrary, be strongly reinforced. Accord-
ing to the latest accounts from Rome, the Popes health is
daily declining: Cardinal Goasalvi is also much indisposed,
and his life is despaired of. In case of a yin the
Holy See, the elevation of ao Austrian Archduke to the Pope.
dos is considered certain.
" Wills respect to Spain and Portugal, it i■ from the
nearest neighbour of the Scat of those Powers that the
strongest representatim fur taking an active part io the
affairs of the Proinsola come. These reprcieniatious have
made • strong impressiiin no the EroperontAiestander ; but
the Cabinets of Bertha, Vienna, and more particularly that
of London, conceive the time is not yet come fur isterfer.
log ostensibly in those affairs, and in particular that the
employment of any armed force would be attended with
much inconveuience. Meanwhile the report of the num.
blithe of a Prussia■ army of observation on the Rhine is
renewed.
" What is certain is, that great activity prevails in the
Auik Chancellery; that Gratz, the soul sad the torch of all
the former Congresses, the intimate conildant of Prince Met-
ternich, labours day and night. Since the month of July, long
diplomatic conferences have repeatedly taken places, the hotel

When the Ottoman fleet put to sea, it was ac-

us, that Chourschid l'acha arrived at Larissa after
his defeat, on the 20th of June, where he was
joined by his reserve. and again marched to lit tend
with 30,000 men. The facility with which the
Turkish militia is assembled makes this fact appear
probable.

tranquillity continues to prevail here. The
new Ministry enjoys great esteem; though some evil.
minded persons already complain of its apathy.
Vadtllo, the new Minister of the Colonies, has
just arrived, and immediately entered on his office.
The Ministers of War. and of Grace and Justice,
seem to act frankly in agreement with public opi-
nion. Yet a certain reserve end silent stupor is
observed, which seeing the precursor of great events
amidst the obstacles which the new Ministry has to
surmount. Besides the military measures, great
praise is given to those of police, and the banish-
ment of several ecclesiastics of the highest rank.
It is thought the Government will not stop here,
being resolved not only to combat to the utmost
the enemies of the new system, but still farther to
consolidate it. The Espeetador, mud other join-
mils, state that the Minister of Marine has given
orders to fit out several ships of war, to cruise froM
the States of Gibraltar to Cape de Cruz on one
side, and un the other from Cape Finisterre to
Passages.
The measures of the Minister of Finance do not
give so much satisfaction. In fact, unless a stable
and solid ;littera is established. mil means found to
raise the taxes regularly, every thing will be am-,
barrasoeds It is not only the revolted proviaceo.
which have long since ceased to contribute to the
public treasury, but almost all the others shew •
backwardness in this respect, which'' threaten. to
lead the Groveri.ment to total rain.
Preparations are mishit* here to receive the
Infants of Portugal, who will arrive on Sunday.
Our Political Chief returned to-day with some pri-
soners from the expedition we spoke of. Among
them are the Members of the Municipality of
coral. It is said there were found at Alcourendas
a great number of muskets, and 30 horses, which
the conspirator* had collected to commence their
enterprize. Yesterday (28th), an officer arrived
express from Mins with dispatches. The General
was at Saragossa on the 2341, much embarrassed
how to make his entry into Catalonia, without the
reinforcements provided him, and which were march-
ing in all directions.
This morning the Commander of the halberdiers
drew out this corps consisting of about WO indi.
viduals, and made 64 quit the rank+, whom he
ordered to lay aside their uniforms soil arms, and to
present themselves to the Captain General,w here they
would receive their passports to repair to the places
which would be signified to them, and where they
may settle as retired from the service. This guard
of the King, is our readers know, was chiefly com-
posed of Nobles, and did duty in the apartments of
the Royal Family. By this means the guard of
the King is confided wholly to the troops of the
line and the national militia, so that all the pomp of
guards. and the splendour that surrounded the pa-
lace have vanished. The victory gained by Gene-
ral Zirco del Valle over the troops of the Trappist
has caused great joy among the Liberals here, and
the more so. as it has discui.certed the plan of Que..
sada to attack Saragossa.
They write from Barcelona (the 20th) that the
postmaster there observed that the letters by the
last French mail, with the Toulon post-mark, had
been cut and dipped in vinegar, which confirmed
the report that the fever hail manifested itself in
that part of France. The Sanitary Junta has or-
dered the strictest precaution* to he observed till

of all these vexations. Minis has joined Mosin An.
ton at Casa de la Silva, and they have together
3,000 men.
On the 13th a Brigadier-General, whose name is
not known, arrived at Olot, where the Royalists re.
ceived him with the greatest enthusiasm ; he brought
from Ripolli 1,600 men, and had began to make
various military arrangements at Olot. Roma-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

RYDE, ISLE OF WIGHT, AUGUST 29.
5111-11 is impossible to express in adequate terms the
lively satisfaction, the singular pleasure with which I have
just received Intelligence from Ireland of a nature highly
important sad interesting. By advice@ from Dublin I have
learned the procredioga, in detail, of the Mansion House
Committee fur Relief in the Poor, until the close of their la-
bours no the 19th August.
It appears that Henry Grattan, the worthy son of • worthy
father, proposed some Resolution'', which were Pawed nes-
piteously, and the result is, that a Society is lady to be
formed for Ibe purpose of 'tiptoeing the condition of the
poor in Ireland. I heartily rejoice at this, wad ecitsitratu-
' late the two Committees iu London and Dublin nu the cer-
tain prospect of su happy • termination to their benevolent
exertions.
Mr.Grsttan said, the present was the moment to seise on—
if ever Ireland had a chance of emerging from her depressed
situation, the present was the lime. Every exertion should
lie mule, both in public and in private, with Government and
silk the people, by the London Committee, and by the Dub.
lie Committee. Wheu England skews every disposition, let
not Ireland remain idle or indifferent ; and if both these Isa.
din co-operate in furthering the object which was here pro-
posed and established, as efficient Society to advance the in-
serials of Ireland, to improve the condition of her people
sod encourage their industry, they world cons-lurk their
honourable labours iu a manner suited to the spirit shirts
caused their commencement, and the generosity which at-
tended their progress.
I am proud to see the son of Henry Grattan so malteds
in the place where his lamented father would have stood,
and taking the teed in public for the furtherance of the
. only effictual meaos of remedying the evils of los country.
• To him shall all the honour of priority be ascribed. I.
his Resolutions are embodied the methods of encouraging
t the poorer classes, in the fisheries, and by the extension of
ithe Dative, the staple avanufactui e. whereby the ultimate and
grand object would be obtained, namely, prucsrisg for the
I 'West/ma peer permanent employment. Mr. Grattan pro.
