tiated Bile are so prevalent rind +darming, they arc an invalu-
able and efficient protection. They are bliesCse peculiarly
calculated.- to correct disorders arising from excesses of the

MODERN STYLE.

AIR. EDITOR—The language, or rather jar-
gon, which has arisen during the last few years
in this country, must excite the regret and indig-
nation of the Gentleman, the Scholar, and the Mo.
ralist, as well as of every friend to common sense
and decency. The author of Tom and Jerry has
been a very great enemy to his country. The
Beggar's Opera, written originally as a political
satire, as well as to ridicule the prevailing taste
for the Italian Opera, has been productive of the
most injurious consequences, and brought hun-
dreds to the gallows, hy conferring a kind of
dignity upon robbery, and investing. the High.
wayman with the character of a Hero. Tom
and Jerry have spread a spirit of riot and mis-
chief among all' the lower orders of people, and
we find, by some recent instances, that even
young men of rank and fortune have caught
the turbulent infection, and disturbed the pub-
lic i►eace. It is impossible to read an account
of • boring ni NM without being disgusted .by
the despicable jargon to which I have allud-
ed, and if a perverted taste should indulge itself
in reading such recitals, it is impossible for
any persons but those who are employed in
such degrading transactions to understand the
fantastic terms in which they are conveyed. But.,
what is worse, and a very serious evil indeed, is
the mode in which POLICE REPORTS are de-
livered to the public in the several newspapers.
Instead of a plain and si►uple narrative of the
proceedings which takes place in the Courts, the
writers amuse themselves with drawing ludicrous
descriptions of the prisoners and the witnesses,
and therefore many persons who might give im-
portant information before the Magistrates, are
deterred from appearing, lest they should be held
up to ridicule in a public• 3ournai. The wretch-
ed cant alluded to is therefore injurious to pub-
lic justice, as well us disgraceful to national taste.
The remedy is at hand. _Let every man of taste
discard the newspaper in which such trash ap-
pears as tending to corrupt the language of the
country, and let every Magistracy refuse to
suffer any Reporter of a Newspaper to be pre-
sent in the Court, unless he will pledge himself
to give a fair account of the proceedings, devoid
of all the unintelligible cant which self compla.
cent vanity considers us the offspring of genius,
and folly receives as the effusion of wit and
humonr. As to the drama above-mentioned, if
it be not -profaning the word to apply it to such
productions as only tend to corrupt the taste,
debase the language, and injure the morals of the
Country, it is surprising that it should have
passed without objection through the hands of
the Licencer, and it may, perhaps, be inferred
that. he is negligent in his office, or incompetent
to a due knowledge, and proper discharge, of its
ditties. But what must be thought of the boasted
dignity of the Piratic Pacss that pollutes its
pages by language only fit for the purlieus of Old
Drury and St. Giles's, when it ought to be cha-
racterized •by the beauty of an Aontsosr, the
energy of a JOHNSON, and the terse vigour of a
Jurirus ; writers that do honour to their Country,
and would have been held forth as examples in
all ages and in every Country that aspired to the
honour of a literary reputation.

CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—Mrs. O'BRIEN, of
Chapel-street, South Audley-street (a Lady
long celebrated in the higher elides of 'fashion),
who has for some time past been in a delicate
state of health, had been prescribed a draft,
the label of which her servant incautiously took
off with the wrapper of the bottle; and shortly
afterwards, in mistake for this medicine, she
gave her mistress a bottle, containing an em-
brocation for rheumatism, which was unfortu-
nately taken by Mrs. O'OatEN, and threw her
for several hours into a most dangerous state ;but
we are happy to sny, that by the means of prompt
and skilful treatment, she is in a fair way of re-
covery, though still confined to her bed, and in
a state of extreme debility.
