A Gentleman in Mile-end-read, with all his family of
several children, could get no real relief from a regular
doctor. He told me that be was paying a large sum annu-
ally to a professional man, and he really did believe he
wao picking his picket. He has administered the
Vegetable Universal Medicine to all his family, and his
lady is recommending them to all her neighbours. I❑
consequence of their receiving such a substantial benefit
they are determined to have no other medicine than the
Hygean pills, which they so much esteem.
The nest case I shall mention is a lady near the Tower,
who had laboured under a complication of disorders (or the
last fourteen years, and who culled at my house to make
inquiry about the astonishing cures which have been per-
formed by Mr. Morison's Universal Medicine, and as she
was well acquainted with me for some years, she could
place confidence in the veracity of my word. I gave her a
detail, d account of the wonderful good it had done me,
and lent 1,,,r the Morisoniana, requesting her to inspect it
it very minutely. Its a few days she sent for a I Is. packet,
and went through a regular course, and so strictly did she
pay attention to the directions, that in one month she came
to thank me fur my attention to her ca,c, and declared
that the llygean pills had done more for her in one month
than all the medicine bile had taken for the last fourteen
years. She said that she would always keep them in her
/louse, and recommend them to her friends, fur they had
made a perfect cure of her. Mr. -, her husband,
immediately commenced taking them. He had very
recently had an apoplectic fit, and found relief. He has
no fear of the return of his disease, and has no doubt the
pills have prevented the return.
The next cave is a gentleman's daughter, in Bedford-
square, whom I have known from her infancy ; she was
always a very delicate young woman, therefore I embraced
the opportunity of calling on her father to inquire how his
children were. He told me he expected to lose one in a
decline, for she was given over by all the doctors, and he
had this moment paid a M. D.. in the parlour, between
eighty and ninety pounds, and she was worse than when
he undertook to cure her. Ile bad just pronounced her
incurable, begging, at the same time, that she might be
permitted to die as easily as she could, as they could do no
mere for her. I was desired to take a seat in the parlour,
and my friend would see me immediately. He bad no idea
that 1 came to recommend Mr. Morison's Vegetable Uni-
versal Medicine, but I immediately inquired the particu-
lars respecting the young lady. Her father said it was
all over with her new, for, the last, M.D. had pronounced
her incurable. 1, nevertheless, urged the necessity of at
least a trial of Mr. Morison's Hygean Pills. Her father
said that it was of nu use, but referred to the mother. It
was i❑ vain, however, to say anything to her, for she
would not hear so much as the mention of them; there-
fore, after a long conversation, I bid them farewell.
IVben I returned home, I reflected on the importance of
saving a life that might prove valuable, and the awful
consequences of neglecting to exercise the power that God
in his providence has thrown in the way to save it, and at
the same time made up my mind to pay another visit. Ac-
cordingly, the next day, after breakfast, I walked to Bed-
ford-square, and found them just sitting down to breakfast,
and of course, being an old friend, I was asked into the
room, and as my business was urgent, I introduced the
business of the number of cures the Hygean Pills had
performed,and in very similar cases. The lady said they
had been recommended from another quarter, but she was
sure they would be of no service to her, and to prove
what she said, she requested me to put my ear to her
breast, and I might easily feel her heart beat like a ham.
men I was very much surprised, but was thoroughly
convinced in soy own mind that she would be recovered by
Mr. Morison's llvgeare Medicine.

They were all against it, but I urged the necessity of
trying them. They wished her to die as easy as she could ;
as she was persuaded by her medical adviser. I they re-
quested she would indulge me by reading the " Morisoniana"
at her leisure hours, and she said she certainly would do
herself the pleasure of gratifying me the next day. I
left the book, and promised to call in one week. I called
according to promise, and found her parents very low in
spirits respecting their daughter. I told them to cheer up,
and that I would venture to say that their daughter would
recover, if she would abide by the directions given by
Mr. Morison, and requested at the same time that she
would call on Mr. Morison at his house. She promised
to do so. I attended at the time appeinted, and found
that the principles of the Great Ilygean had shaken her
resolutions ; likewise her parents. The father said he was
determined to make up bis mind to permit her to use her
own judgment ; therefore, he would leave it to her ; and
said, my friend, you shall have it from her own mouth.
She was called into '
the parlour, and after takinc, a seat
she appeared more like a corpse than a living person. Her
father said to her Mr. Coserly wi4ies you to say whether
you have made up your mind to try Mr. Morison's
Vegetable Universal Medicine. I will thank you to say
what you thought of the Morisoniarsa.
Sir,-1 do declare I cannot express my feelings. (Her
eye appeared to brighten and voice was very distinct and
clear.) I, with pleasure, at this moment declare to you 1
am satisfied with Mr. Morison's theory, and avdl go
through a course without fear. I have made up my mind,
I will begin immediately. I assure you I felt my-
self very much gratified, and said, I am quite persuaded
they will cure you. She purchased a 1 18. packet, and of
course found herself very poorly at first, but when
she had got over the first sensations the difficulty was
over, and she continued, with cheerfulness, until she had
increased to the amount of twenty every dose. The next
visit I made, I was surprised to find her miud lively, and
her hopes increased, and when I called next week, I found
her quite another person in appearance, and by her deter-
mination to pay strict attention to Mr. Morison's regula-
lions, to est no salted meat or salted fob, and in par-

PAROCHIAL ABUSES.-011 Friday night a
numerous meeting of the parishioners of Mile-end Old-
town was held at the King's Arms Tavern, High street,
under the following circumstances :—During the late
" mistake" session at Clerkenwell, an appeal was made by
a few public spirited rate-payers against the accounts of
the retiring overseers of the hamlet, on the ground of
profuse expenditure and misapprobation of the public
money. The Court, a very furl one, unanimously agreed
i❑ disallowing the sum of 5501., and thus far the popul it
cause was triumphant ; but the case having been decided
at a session subsequently declared to be informal, the
decision was void, and the expenses of the proceedings fell
upo❑ the appellants. The meeting was convened princi..
pally to raise subscriptions to indemnify them, and to give
public expression to the feelings of the rate-payers. Several
resolutions, having in view these objects, were proposed,
and unanimously adopted.
ASTONISHING EFFECTS OF STEAM. --
We have received from an esteemed correspondent the
following account of the capture of the Princesa Real,
corvette of 20 guns, during NArizat's action off St.
Vincent Your friend was on board the William a the
Fourth steamer, during the action, and actually went
alongside the Princcsa Real, and told them he ha:;
water enough o❑ board, in a boiling state, for the scalding
of three hundred men, and that he would infallibly parboil
them all unless they struck immediately. The amazed
crew, who bad already felt the unpleasant effect of being
in hot water, at once hauled down their colon's, and
surrendered to an unarmed steamer."

A political and commercial institution, to be
called the Universal, is projected, the seat of which is to be
at the western pert of the Strand, with a view of inti-
mately connecting the city with the west end. is
intended to be a focus for general intercourse, and to unite
all the conveniences, information, intelligence, and facilities
for political and mercantile business, which now separately
belong to the two Houses of Parliament, Government
Offices, Bank of England, East and West India Houses,
west end Club Houses, Stock and Royal Exchanges,
Lloyd's, and other Commercial Institutions in the city,
with which it is proposed to establish an incessant com-
munication.

A diving-bell is daily worked at Kingstown,
for the purpose of forming a foundation for the extension
of the harbour. They begin at ten o'clock in the morn-
ing, and terminate their labours at six. Their stay under
water is generally four hours. They are using a particular
description of red soft stone, which is brought from Run-
corn, in Yorkshire. There are a number of men em-
ployed in shaping those huge rocks, while the men em-
ployed in the diving-bell are placing them beneath the
powerful element. They have already laid twelve of
them, but have ten thousand to arrange previous to desist-
ing from their arduous undertaking...a-Dublin Times.

What particulars did you state to Mr. Arbuthnot ?—I
stated to Mr. Arbuthnot that the people who had hitherto
been appointed storekeepers were generally worn•out sta-
tioners, and generally too old either to learn or unlearn ;
that from the nature of their earlier occupations they must
have formed connections, and perhaps incurred obligations
to private stationers; so that however pure their conduct
might be in office they were always liable to imputations
of partiality ; I therefore expressed it as my opinion
that it would be the less evil if they could find a young
man who was not a stationer, hut who bad an acquaint.
ance with general business, and was of active habits, to
place him in that situation ; and who, if he w.:uld give
his whole time up to it, might very soon, in my opinion,
become an efficient servant. Mr. Arbuthnot made a
reply to the which I beg leave to mention, and, whether
I state the fact correctly or not, can, I think, be discovered
by reference to the Treasury : he said, " I believe Mr.
Charles Wood has au oldish man, who was in the trade,
already in contemplation." I heard nothing more of it
till the 9th July, when I received this letter from Mr.
Arbuthnot :--
.‘ My dear Sir—l am desired to inquire of you whether
there ould be any objection to the appointment of a young
of 19 to the situation of storekeeper. It appears to me
that so young a person would not be able to exercise sufficient
authority over the people he will have to superintend."

1 wrote in reply the felioNing letter. I declare at the
time I wrote it, I had not the slightest notion that Sir
John Key had a son of nineteen, or a son at all:—.
"My dear Sir—The storekeeper of this office has to give
sureties, to sign bonds, and to exercise many other functions
for which non-age would disqualify him; perhaps you may not
be aware how much this office is watched ; the same descrip-
iion of persons deal with us as deal with the proprietors of
newspapers. I will only refer to a paragraph in the Age of
last Sunday, which states that Sir John Key, a contractor
with this office' (and I put in parenthesis which by-the bye, he
is not'), 'has applied at the Treasury for an appointment for a
friend of his.' I merely state this to show how necessary it is
to be cautious, and that to a situation like this it is expedient
to appoint a roan who not only is fit, but who will appear to be
fit to others."

I heird nothing more of this for some time, and who
the person referred to was I did nut know. Three or four
days after this Sir John Key called upon me at my office,
in the morning, and he said, " You will be surprised to
hear that the Treasury have appointed a friend of mine
to the storekeepership." I asked who he was? he slid,
" Ile is a relation of mine ;" adding, " I first applied for
the place for his brother, who was nineteen, but your
letter put an end to that." We sent for the Age (mean-
ing at the Treasury), and saw the paragraph ; but he
said, "As this young man bad a brother, whom I did
not at first wish to be appointed, and was twenty-
two years of age, and without employment, I got
it for Liu)." I then said, " But, Sir John, is this
young man a relation of yours ?" and he said " Yes."
I asked if he was a brother ; he said, "No." I said,
"Isbe of the same name ?" and he said, " Yes." I re-
plied, " That is unfortunate ; because if he is your rela-
tion, and of the same name, be must stand in the same
relationship to your brother, and of course in that case
will have to examine stores sent iu by him ; I must, take
some precautions to prevent such an examination.' Sir
John Key then slid, " I suggested that to the Treasury,
and they said you would be able to do it." ' Sir
Jchn Key further said, " I stated to the Treasury that as
soon " ever my brother hail completed his contract, I
