Messrs. MORISON have much pleasure in publishing the follow-
ing letter with the writer's permission.
It is well known to all the world that Lady Sophia Grey has been
following the Bygeian treatment for the last ten years, and therefore
her opinion must be admitted as highly valuable in a matter of
such vast importance. Her Ladyshiper is as follows :
" Sandiway, near Northwich, Cheshire,
December llth, 1845.
" Gentlemen,—This has been such a dreadful sickly year amongst
the poor, that the demand for your most excellent pills has been
very great, and I shall therefore be thankful for the usual supply of

them.
" I take this opportunity of enclosing the 51. for 1846, towards the
Exeter Ifygclan Dispensary.
" I think nothing can beonore satisfactory than the progress that
your medicine makes; and wishing it may in time gain a complete
victory. " I remain, Gentlemen,
" Your sincerely obliged,

" SOPHIA GREY."
" To Messrs. Morison, British College of Health,
New-road, London."

TIGHT LAClNG.—Pressure of the bones on the lungs,
whether brought on by muscular or nervous debility, or by mecha-
nical construction of the chest, has a precisely similar effect, as pres-
sure elsewhere ; for it is impossible that the effect should differ,
merely because of the difference in the size of the parts compressed.
The results of long-continued pressure are the same, whatever the
nature of the parts of the body exposed to its influence may be.
That one of the effects of 'pressure upon the lungs is difficulty of
breathjng, a constant and harassing attendant upon consumption,
and eOlicernii;:.the cause of which medical writers . entertain such
various and content:2lg opinions ;—I have completely satisfied myself
by a careful examination Vf the chest in a great number of persons.

DISASTROUS INCENDIARY' FiLIE.—CAMBRIDGE, FED.
7.—Early on Saturday morning a tire was discovered on the pre-
mises of Mr. Free, an extensive farmer at Bottesham in this county.
The whole of the premises, with the exception of the dwelling-
house, together with about one hundred and thirty coombs
produce, of
va whriouseat,
the like quantity of barley, and other agricultural
implements, a valuable cart horse, and some fat swine, were,entirely
destroyed. The fire, in consequence of a brisk. wind, speedily spread
to the adjoining farm, the property of Mr. John King, which soon
shared tire same fate as his neighbour's, the house only
teasDillf: saved.
Here also corn, hay, implements, were deqroyed large an
extent as on Mr Free's premises. Some oat-Wieling* in the occu-
pation of Mr. King, glazier, were also consumed, nor was this all,
for unhappily the wind being very high, sparks were conveyed by it
to some cottages on the • opposite side of the village, belonging to
Mr. parker, which soon ignited, and fifteen dwellings were won one
blazing mass. Twenty poor families have been tints
ero deprtpiv resed ofith
a
home, and it was truly heartrending to see the poor a
only their night-clothes on, miming with their families they knew
not whither, in search of a place of shelter, while others were en-
deavouring to rescue their small stock of furniture. Thet
at-Norwi thato'clock;
hour the Swaffharn and Bottesham engines were, and had been
rfor
some time, in full work. The property we understand is i
but the loss we fear considerably exceeds the amount of the policies.
No doubt existed from the first that the fire originated from the
hand of an incendiary, and there is, we rejoice to ray, every hope
that in this case the miscreant will be brought to justice. A man
namd Webb, but commonl caled " Squirrel'" was taken into cas-
ttodye at the fire, and examined led this morning, before George Jenyns,
Esq., at the Swan Inn, Bottesham. The inquiry was proceeding
when we left.
