ESSENCE
of SHRIMPS, a new and
.snperim
SAUCE for FISH, egnal in strength to Essence of
Anchovies, but far excelling it in flavour, and has the ad-
vantage of not turning rancid. The immense demand for it
is a convincing proof of the estimation it is livid in by those
Who have tried it. The Proprietors Hatter themselves, that
wherever it is once used, it will obtain a pre-eminence ever
all other Sauces for Fish.

Made I.y C. Di innore and Son : and sold by T. Powell and Sou
111, Holborn-hill, 'Corner of Hatton-garden. The Public
are respectfully requested to observe, that each -bottle has
the signatui eof C. Dinmore and Son ; none other is ge
nuinc ; this caution is necessary, as there is a spurious arti-
cle now on sale.

Homov KED SIB,

1- BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
IL :year 1701, I had been afflicted with the Imes. Venerea;
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the'faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
ChargtO from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the Most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period
atv my existence—l had'a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs ,were broke ont in a frightful
manner; my right was dicadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years ; nay left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in 'bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Itlr. J. TlionipsoA, (who received s.;
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to 'loon the 26th of May ; in the comso of a
fortnight 1 began to receive heneit -in little more than a
mouth the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed—
soon after, the sores on my legs healed als m ; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouration in ale skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, anal a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, su!osided ;
the nodes dispersing, the shin regal aim.: its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going otl.—l thus heca.me, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfeetly free from all may
former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a lid
strength, and am become Jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the.astonishinent of all who knew
me, lamat a loss-in what teiens express may gratit ride, but
beg; fOr the, good of other suffering- mortals; to make
this ray case as public as possible, as i shall on every occa-
sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige,
, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,
ALEX. MUIV&EIt.

There has hardly appested during the whole of
the present reign a character who hds been more
useful to his country, within his Sphere.of action,
than this Gentleman. The assaults of Pdrty
which followed him from altuost'his first appear-
ance in political life., may he considered as one good
testimony in fayour of his talents and his services.
We shall always feel gratified in paying respect
to his memory, and therefore we have taken
the subjoined article from The New Monthly
Magazine :
h is to be hoped, that an extended Memoir of the late Mr
Rose- will be given to the world by some of those who were
most intimately acquainted with his remarkable history and
excellent character. The account in a former Number is
pretty accurate for such a sketch, but some particulars should
be added of a mats against whose good name the malignant
spirit of party still continues to spit its venom, even when
thettomh has closed upon his mortal remains. - It is not quite
correct, however, to say of Mr. RoSe, that he " afforded a
striking instance of what may be accomplished by industry
and integrity, by which he raised hithself from obscurity, to
opulence and the highest offices of the State," I know that
political malevolence has often sported upon the supposed
lowness of this Statesnian's origin, and without much regard
to truth or consistency, has described him as sprung from the
dregs of the people. This, from a set of levelling reformers,
and the despisers of hereditary honours, is too had, even
were the fact as they represent it—but the case is far other-
wise, for, though Mr. ItUse could not boast of great ances-
tors, he was certainly descended from a very respectable stock.
His father was a clergynian, of an ancient family in the

county of Nairn, whogc brother, Dr. Rose, the first Editor

of the llloneltly Review, conducted for many years a seminary
of no small celebrity at Chiswick. Mr. George Rose was
brought up under his uncle from the age of five to eighteen,
during wind' space be made a pod progress in general learn-
ing, and particularly mathematics, to which last accomplish-
ment;he was ultimately much indebted for his success in life:
His first situation was that of Captain's Clerk in a ship .of
war on the Jartiai,a station, at the close of the war in 1763.
In this capacity he conducted himself so well as to be made a

Purser in the Navy, from which employment he was taken by
Lord Sandwich,• when that nobleman was at the head of thz

Admiralty, and introduced by him to Lord North, who gave

him a post in the Treasury. His talents soon made them-
selves 'so conspicuous, that he was deemed a fit person to su-
perintend the impression of the- Journals of the House of
Lords, printed in 1777. Front this time his preferments
came on rapidly ; hut it was Mr. Pitt who had the merit of
appreciating the full value of Mr. Rose, as a man every way
qualified for plablic business. Into the history of his parlia-
mentary lite, it would be needless and tedious to enter; but
of his integrity and liberality it may be proper to say some-
thing, because no Man so situated ever suffered more un-
justly front the tongues of evil-speakers, and the pens of li-
centious scribblers. It was the glorious fortune of Mr. Pat's
Administration, that he sought out men adapted for the se-
veral offices of the State ; and in Mr. Ruse he happily found
a mind congenial with his own—one who was not disposed to
eat the bread of the nation, without taking the pains- to earn
it. There are idle talkers in abundance, who declaim with
wonderful fluency upon public extravagance, and the enor-
mous incomes of men in power. But the business of great
States cannot be conducted without labour; and they who
are ill paid for their services, Will not he naming in plausible
excuses for negligence or peculation. The truth however is,
that they who bear the heaviest burdens, and drudge the
most in public employments, are far from receiving more
than is adequate to their sacrifices and responsibility. Mr.
Rose :for near forty, years discharged the duties of several im-
portant offices, but in none of them was be an idle servant;
and it may be truly adirmed, that the nation derived more
benefit front Isis industry than he did from the salaries wkich
he enjoyed. To his skill and diligence all parties have borne
ample testimony; and though continually an. object for the
shafts of his political adversaries,. none of them, with all
then- zeal and perspicacity, could fasten upon him even the
suspicion of delinquency. This was no ordinary praise for
one who had to pass the scrutinizing ordeal of an Opposition
eager to magnify the slightest defigiencies into enormous of-
fences.

The liberality of Mr. Rose was not an occasional flight of
generosity, thrown out to gain admiration, hot a steady
principle, main; courteottsly towards all with whom he had
any nosiness to transact, and never turtling aside from the
numerous applicants that sought his- favour. Though the
inferior officers in the several departments over which he pre
sided were taught diligence by his example, they felt cunfi
deuce in his kindness. He was no rigorous task-master,
seeking to gain teputation by the hard labour of his de-
pendants; nor did he treat with haughtiness and reserve
those who were at his absolute disposal. In private life, his
deportment was uniformly marked by placidity, unaffected
generosity, and settled friendship. His charities were ex-
tensive, but far from being ostentatious; and the great ob-
ject which lie had in view, when exercising any act of bene-
volence, was to render it permanently useful. As one proof
of his attentian to the public good, rather than his private
emolument, the following- circumstance arty be mentioned
When the vicarage of Christ (Await, of which he was pan on,
heeame vacant some years ago, Mr. Rose, regaraless of the
applications which were made to him by sonic of his friends
in behalf of their relatives or acquaintance, wrote to. the
Bishop of Lincoln, desiring him te.recommend seine clergy-
man of mai: income hut approved principles and conduct,
eminently qualified for such a charge. His Lordship, with
the same laudable view, passed over those who sought his
interest, And, without solicitation, introduced the present
worthy incumbeut of that parish to Mr. Rose, who imme-
diately gave hint the appointment.
hi short, it may he said of Mr. Rose, as of the great Sr
Stephen Fox, to whose chat acter and history his Own bore a
striking- resemblance, that •. the more and greater places he
went through, the more and greater proofs he still gave of a
capacity above them ; and of a tonal above all corruption so
that he was allowed to get a great estate in places at 'Court,
withont even having his integritv once called in questiort ;)a rare
felicity "n our great men, and scarce ever to he expected in
a kingdom divided as this is, wherein great part, if not half
the nation, sets itself to believe, and to spealeill of the other."

W,

The life of Mr. Hutton affords a remarkable instance of
an individual surmounting, by the vigorous exertion of his
own faculties, the united evils of poverty and ignorance.
Endowed with great natural acuteness, by industry and fru-
gality he became a thriving tradesman, and raised himself
to affluence ; and though at an early age he. had an aversion
to letters, • yet cultivating his understanding, as he advanced
in life, by reading and refleetion, he acquired such a fund of
general knowledge as falls to the lot of few who enter on
their career under much more favourable circumstances.
His published works prove this fact : they also exhibit souse
curious researches, and an extensive acquaintance with the
history and topography of his native country; and they
abound with traits of good sense, and with pertinent and
useful remarks. He possessed much originality of humour,
and had the talent of enlivening a barren topic with charac-
teristic reflections and allusions, which can hardly fail to give
entertainment, although the reader may not be particularly
interested with the subject on which they are engrafted.
It occurred to the Compiler of this little volume that a con-
cise selection of such reflections and remarks as would hear
removal from the context, might be kuceptible to the public ;
and he indulges the hope that while it affords amusement, it
may also occasionally impart a valuable maxim or a useful
hint.

Gentle Reader, every publication should answer some end.
have no right to trespass on your time, without paying you,

in pleasure, or in profit. If I du neither, I shall be thrown
aside, like some of my predecessors, ministers of the quill,
and buried in the dust. Some authors exult, if they are
clothed in gilt binding, and exhibited to view; but it is
doubtful whether there is not more honour iu being fre-
quently thumbed. Enjoy, my dear brethren, your finery; I,
who prefer dirt within to gold without, shall he satisfied with
soiling fingers, and with dog's-cons. A book, like a heaati-

ful apple, may tempt. the eye, but the taste may prove in-
sipid; if a flavour is not found under the rind, the fruit may
he cast away.rhere are some bewitching authors, who pos-
sess the power of making the reader forget his time, his food,
his sleep, and even himself. The waiter, and the reader,

like two pieces of money from the same ,tamp, are equally
impressed; as two eyes in one head, they behold every
object in the same light, with the same effcct, and both feel
what they see. Fascinated with the voice of the charmer,
the reaUtr is unable to depart
the smile, or the frown ; whether I amuse you, or only my-
self, or neither: yet when I am upon the Bench, may my
eye be upon Equity; and when off,•upon Truth !--This is the
merit I wish. - W. H.
