PURE WATER.

THE ROYAL FILTERS,
Sole Office 163, STRAND, LONDON, opposite the New
Church.
To purify Foul Water like that supplied to the Inhabitants of the
principal Cities and Towns in England, replete with every species
of offal and myriads of animalculw, and to convert it forthvrith
into an enlivening wholesome and chrystaline beverage like the
Mountain Spring, is one of the most difficult problems of science
which thousands in every age and country have attempted in vain,
having produced at best a vapid sickening beverage, till the happy
electro-chymical invention of ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTERS
appeared. This has justly been characterized by one of the
highest practical authorities, as " The only effectual and whole-
some mode of filtration ;" as a proof of the fidelity of this re-
mark, it will be sufficient to observe, that during the prevalence of
the fatal fever that has lately pervaded the Metropolis, not a public
establishment or private residence in which the Royal Filters had
been adopted was visited by the scourge; the advantages of the
discovery has already raised up a host of
in humble imitators, but it
will be found that all other apparatus are imperfect in action, sub-
ject to constant disarrangement, and many cases render the use
of the water dangerous to health. It is only necessary to add, that
the Royal Filters are protected: by her Majesty's Letters Patent;
that they have been adopted in all the Royal Residences, the
various branches of the Public Service, her Majesty's Navy, and
thelmansions and residences of more than 160,000 families through-
out the Kingdom. To render the invention of general benefit, it
has been proposed to the Patentee by the most
.influential Members
of the:College of Physicians to reduce the prices in order to render
them available to all branches of the community, and accordingly
the following scale is submitted to public attention.

C kUTION.
The Patentee of Robins's Royal Filters having discovered that
various persons have manufactured and vended certain machines
denominated Filters, professing to clear and purify water, placing on
the same, " By her Majesty's Letters Patent" " Patent Royal
Filter," or other words to a similar effect, hereby announces his in-
tention of suing without further notice for the full penalties agree-
able to the late Act of Parliament against all parties so offending,
either as Makers or Vendors, to which he requests the attention of
Country Agents, aho may otherwise suffer by vending the piratical
imitations of certain unprincipled and ignorant adventurers; and
the Patentee earnestly cautions purchasers not to confound the
Royal Filter with any other apparatus; and in order to guard
against all piracies, to remark that the words
ROYAL FILTER, ROBINS, PATENTEE, LONDON,
are plated on each, that they can be obtained of his agents in all
Towns throughout the Kingdom, and at the
OFFICE, 163, STRAND, LONDON, NEAR SOMERSET-

HOUSE,

JOiErIT ADEY ONCE AGArN !—This all accomplislwd and
much-pei-geented r, who has had so many brushes
with the civic' authorities, and wen " bearded the Mayor upon
the bench," yesterdAy sura.-aoned beton- Sir F. ROE, to
show cause why he fold neglected and refused to pay a certain
arrear of postage amout.,ing 71. 17s. 10d.. due by him, the
said Joseph Adey, of No. 7f Yorkotreet, Commercial-road,
to her Majesty's Postmaster-GCnerar• Mr. Adey, " himself
a host," attended in person to nit .:t Ohs charge, and he had
also procured the attendance of MI: Chadwick Jones, the
barrister.
Mr. Peacock, the Post-office solicitor, i;ppear..-d to support
the summons, which was founded upon the victoria, cap.
34, seC. 2, by which it is enacted that " in all cases, when
required, the postage on letters shall be paid by IN sender;
but in other cases it shall be optional with the scnde;* to pay
the postage ; and if the postage shall not be paid the
sender, it shall be paid by the person to whom such le `tern
are addressed ; but, nevertheless, if a letter be refused, or
the party to whom it is addressed shall be dead or cannot:.
be found, the writer or sender of such letter shall pay the.
postage," &c.
Mr. Adey, having been called upon to appear, came nimbly
forward with his usual self-possession, habited in the quaker-
fashion in a suit of sober brown. He delivered in. the sum-
mons, which had been served upon him, and in which the of-
fence was set forth in legal form.

Mr. Peacock, who had an immense pile of the " Adey (-or-
._ qndence" before him, then stated that he had recei;ed in-
against Mr. Adey, to recover the sum mentioned
proce.f44.
st7i. jet,:ans from the Postmaster-General to adopt the present
en,s, being the amount of postage upon letters sent

peered that some of ;
had been dead for twen..
'aiv or thirty years, and in most of
etlfused to receive the letters
the cases the parties ms'
,
or they could not be found. It was hardly necessary
to apprise the Magistrate of the fact, that Mr. Adey
vcry extensive
was in the habit of carrying on a .
corre-
spondence with persons in all quarters 01.. England, Ireland,
and Scotland. Indeed, to such an extens" had his corre-
spondence accumulated, that there were no.' in the Post-
office not only hundreds but thousands of his lei tern, directed
to individuals who could not be found. In fact,, Mr. Adey's
correspondence would be almost sufficient in itself t' give em-
ployment to the whole Post-office establishment, and the poor
letter carriers were nearly run off their legs in deliver:ng his
epistles, or knocking at his doors with the answers to ti'ena.
1 He (Mr. Peacock) understood from Mr. Jones that it was not
tt,:l intention of his client to dispute the claim, and that, in
cact, he knew he was liable, but he was desirous to be allowed
'e t, memorialize the Postmaster-General upon the subject,
tin
..se to, which no objection would be offered, on the under-
a con
,of course, that Mr. Adey should plead guilty to the
standing:•
charge.

Poor Joseph drew a long face on hew -

Mr. Jones said Adey bad instructed him to
mitted to the law, and was ready to abide the N.
cision. It was quite true that he was in the 11111).1 of sending
and
~ gneat por-
a vast number of letters through the Post-office toi..ersons with
trusted to
whom he corresponded ; but he (Mr. Jones) was int
state that the letters addressed to Mr. Adey,
tion of those written by him, produced to the Post.o.cfice a cer-
tain revenue to the amount of 5001. a-year. Now, if that
were true, he conceived that Mr. Adey was entitled toe some
consideration ; the Learned Gentleman was proceeding( to
expl.lin the mode in which his client obtained his informal tiOn
with rospect to the unclaimed dividends, when
Sir F. Roz was sorry to interrupt the Learned Gentleman...
but he really could not lend his assistance to extend the fame
of Mr. Adey oar this side of Temple-bar.—(Loud laughter,
in which Adey I7cnsclf joined.)
It was finally aro.ng,ed that the defendant, having pleaded
guilty to the charge, oboOld be allowed a fortnight to prepare
and send in his memorial tt.
the Postmaster-General, and that
the question of costs should chide the issue of the application.
Adey requested Mr. Peacock• t.' pay the postage of any letter
he might forward to him, gravely observing that he made it a
rule to refuse all unpaid letters.
