PANNUS-CORIUM.

THE Proprietors of the Newly-invented Pa-
tent PANNUS-CORIUM, or LEATHER CLOTH,
have the honour to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, and
Public, they have commenced to Manufacture Ladies and
Gentlemen's BOOTS and SHOES from their Patent
Material, which, without any addition of cost, combine
all the lightness, elasticity, softness, and ease of Prunella or
Jean, together with the jet and brilliant qualities of the
finest Leather, and will be found equally or more durable,
having no liability to crack, and are adapted to all climates,
being differently constructed, so as to keep the feet in
any degree of temperature ; they are polished with Black-
ing in the usual way, made to fit with elegance, and the
best possible workmanship. After having been worn in
the rain {which they.resist) their softness is not in the
slightest degree impaired. Persons whose feet are at all
tender, will find ease and comfort in wearing the Panntts-
Corium Boots or Shoes, having none of those drawing
qualities so unpleasant in most other kinds.
As considerable expense has been incurred in getting
up this Article to its present state of perfection, it is the
intention of the Patentees to do- business for Ready

Money.

THE ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS.

PORTABLE FILTERING AND PORTABLE
CISTERNS, No. 69, STRAND.

A.
GEORGE ROBINS respectfully
makes known, that an apology is due to the mul-
titudinous applicants, who have lately had to wait for
their commands being immediately attended to. The ex-
citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im-
pure, and filthy water, supplied from the Thames, must be
his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have
been ordered during the last fortnight, it is believed no
further excuse for delay will be required. To his Agents,
thoughout England, Iceland, and Scotland, be flatters him-
self the above will be found a satisfactory reason for the
delay they have recently complained of.
A reference to the opinions of all the eminent men of the
profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their
high testimony to the Royal Filter for remedying all the
impurities and chrystallizing foul water.
The following will be sufficient for the present pur-
pose :
_ _ .

Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on
Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the
sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses."
And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor,
" at the delicacy. of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at
the same, tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Closcina ;
but what s!•all we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin-
ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from
the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou-
sand cloaca, containing EVER SPECIES OP FILTH AND
ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their
hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto-
nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and
cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
will shudder, if they can credit it."
Dr. KEARISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the
perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind
of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in-
specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane-
lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of uNDIYIDED
FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he con-
cludes, that " a considerable quantity of human excre-
ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually
passes into our cisterns."
THE PORTABLE FILTERS,
Possessing all the advantages of .purifying-and rendering►
chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following
prices

2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day ..255.
3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto
6 Ditto...bandoomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425.
9 Ditto 65 Ditto. 555.
12 Ditto 90 Ditto. 7ss.

The Royal Filter, upon this plan, • will chrystallize and
purify as much water in the course of the day as the largest
consumption of a family can desire.

There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering
from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be
sent to any part of the country.
The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera-
tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee,
George Robins, NIl. 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi
Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed.

The Duchess of CL A RENCE, accompanied by
the Duchess of SAKE-WEIMAR, left town yesterday morn-
ing for her residence in Bushy-park.

The COURT refused to grant a new trial.
MILLS V. CAPPER.
This was an action brought to recover the value
of a travelling-bag and its contents, under the
following circumstances :—The plaintiff engaged a
seat in the Express coach from Stockton to York,
on his way to London, and delivered his travelling-
bag to the guard (or coachman), who placed it in
the front boot. - Upon arriving at the Black Swan,
York, where he was to change coaches, the. plaintiff
got out and went to the post-oflire. On his return
in about half an hour or an hour, he• inquired for his
bag, but no person knew what bad become of it,
and it had never since been recovered. The Learned
Judge (Bayley) before whom the case was tried at
the last York assizes, after taking the opinion of the
jury upon one or two points, tionsuited the plain-
tiff, giving him leave to move to set aside the non-
suit and enter a verdict for the value of the bag and
its contents. Mr. Serjeant Wilde having obtained
a rule last term to set aside the nonsuit and enter
verdict for the plaintiff,
Mr. Serjeant TADDY was now :about to show
cause, when the Court intimated their opinion that
the case ought to be further investigated, and granted
a rule for a new trial.
