'rite negligent manner in which the Analeptic Pills have
been coiMpounded of late years, is Notorious; and numerous
complaints Were received from old purchasers, nut only of
the inequality of their sizes, and their alteration from a light
to•st dark colour, but• also of their bing.less efficacious than
heretofore.
. ;Mr. Newbery frequently remonstrated against such mis-
maliagement ; but in vain. Fie had nu alternative; for be
was 'bOund by covenants • not to sell any Analeptic Pills hid
- those prepared.hy Dr. James and his family, so lung as they
chose to supply his demands. They thought fit, however, to
-refuse that supply in Janunry last ; and all, attempt has been
made by the Grandson of ►he Inventor to usurp the whole

RETROSPECT.
We are always glml, when in. the few weekly
reflections upon public:occurrences, which our co-
lutnns. ill inse,rt,• subjects of sutfi-
cient,impurtauce occur at home to atrestonr at-
tention. Attire especially are 'we Kind if
they . rc;ate to our o4ts It is out,, we
flatter
.ourselves, in 'the .Aleiyopolitan.,l)Tints
alone that all the talent and original remarks.upon
the almoscdaily itnportant occurrences of the na-
tion originate.—'co their sourees,of fOreigo infor-
mation, and, their,reports of the great ,ParliaMen-
tory and legit questions.which agitate the nation,
the Provincial Journalist .must of
.necessity be
usually indebted. But there are sobjects of local
interest, the 'promnlgation of which influence, in
a more especial degree, the ,%yelf:atv of umny
03..9es of society into whose hands the London
Newspapers , can. seldom fall, and to disseminate
among whom right notio,,s of political econmity
and moral and religious sentiments, it is mOre'par-
ticohnly the province.ot theProvincialJouroalist;
and it is with peculiar satisfaction that we ob-
serve, there is one London print., I:fig Su SI News;
Paper, ,chieb has of late thought it no derogation
to its columns to transcribe the sentiments and
reflections which occur in the Country Press. We
have much pleasure this week in (Hireling .ttieati•
tention not only of our fellow.4Jititens, but the
country at large,

Friend Society," establishedin, this city. it will,
perhaps, he netv information to some to know,

pression of vagrancy, the lending of small SUMS

of a Savings Hank for Bristol mid its vicinity. It
is to the perusal of the fifth Amnia' Report of ,this
prtsented at a meeting of the friends of
held on Tuesday last, that we
unit cularty direct the Attention of the pub-
lic, and we flatter otirselves t hat as 1 tj E Sur; Pape,

We cannot indeed suflicientlyeipress our sense
of the 'good witch is likely to result to posterity
from the stability and sopport which tLe Act of
Parliament of the last Session has given to Sav-
ing Banks ; and we take pride in saying, :that it
was to the exertions of some benevolent members
of the Society.in this city, that many salutaS-y and
efficacious alterations were matte in the Act which
Air. Rose ititrothiced into Parliament. So much
present and immediate good is, we are convinced,
to be derived froth these Saving !links, that
though some individuals entertain
,apprelbensions
of their policy in the end, and cannot well con-
ceive whence such a mass of interest and com-
pound interest is at length to arise, ive are most
heartily disposed to avail ourselves of the present
fruit, and to leave to the. correction of posterity
the remote and incidental mischief. It is perfect-
ly true, that a shilling put out to interest at the
bitch of our Saviour, and the interest of every
year added to the principal, would now amount
to a greater sum than the value of a ball of gold
of one hundred ton 'weight. But where would
this ball of gold come bom ? Something of, this
kind may, it is trite, be said of the &Poing Banks,
when they become general .or 'universal. The in-
terestand compound interest pi:Ascii.' savjogs will
be immense. But where will be the
,fund that
will pay them ? We do not wish tti pititt this ar-
gument too far : we wish only to hint it to those
whom it chiefly concerns to 'consider it. is nes
cessary, however, to add, that to present circum-
stances it does not apply ; and therefore is no ar-
gument against the present institution and en-
couragement of these hanks. By the report it
will be stets that '20,14001. and upwards 'was the

shortly behold such an ainclioraiion, not only in
the habits of the poor, but. in that bane of our in-
