+► This Work possesses a decided superiority over every
similar attempt. The most recent and correct information is
arranged in systematic. order, the plates are engraved in the
best manner, arid the whole exhibits a faithful picture of the
British Metropolis.' It is.almost incredible that so great a
mess of information should he brought into so. small a com-
pass; and its this respect it will not only defeat the arrogant
etensious, but hurl back with redoubled force the base in-
sinuations,
,which have- been obtruded on the Public by the
knight-errantry and quackery of an impudent Editor.

TOT. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London,
[To y ou nt:n
-L BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent, of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing Sereralserere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
chargod from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
he of the most inveterate nature. Iu the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a .period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs were brohe out in a frightful
manner; toy was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulcer:mon for the last seven yeses; My left had also
two large nodes oil it, was very much discolitured„ :catil gave
me such excruciating. pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable'. state, I
was recominended by 111 r. J. '.l'hompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leslie's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the ,2tith o. May ; in the course of a
fortnight I began to receive benetit li!tle more than a
month the ulcers on my he:Adana arias were soundly healed—
soon atter; the sores on my legs healed also; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
Isone of the left, winch, by the bli.sring of God, an.! a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ;

that infested the MetrOVolis; but at there are
many remaining that ate not wirilin the compass
of his Bill, I beg your assistance iu attempting
their removal. I shall only particularise one at
present, which, if you think worthy of insertion,
I shall be induced to address you again.
am in the habit 'of walking the streets
frequcnily (though not a streetwalker, mind ye),
and in my perigrinations my ears are frequently
assailed in the :mist hideouts way by the continual
ding-thing of the Dustman's Bell : this knight of
the basket, not content with calling for his corn-
mo'dity, alMost stuns the passers-by with his
noise ; so that, while be undertakes to remove
nuisance, he becomes is nuisance himself.—
To some, whose ears , are impregnable against
sound, this will give no offence ; to others,
whose nerves are strong and vigorous, it may be
very little inconvenience; but to me, and all
whose organic nerves are alike tender, it gives
rise to very disagreeable sensations. I have ire-
quently crossed the way in order to avoid the
worst of it ; but when, unfortunately, 1 have
had it suddenly assail my ears, I have wished
the bell, and the ringer too, were smothered in
dust. I wish you could make him leave his bell
at home, or, if he must take it with him, make
him muffle the clapper ; the sight of the bell will
„not then be half so offensive as the noise is now.
I think the practice must have originated in times
less refined, or when people were very hard of
hearing ; however, it appears very inapplicable
to the age in which we live ; and, as reform is the
order of the day, I hope it will take place in this;
for I-think it better (and hope you will think so
too), that the bell should be laid aside than I be
so grievously annoyed, and perhaps deprived o
my hearing.

PROGRESS OF A POUND OF COTTON.-The fol-
lowing account of one pound weight of manufac-
tured cotton will show the importance of the
trade to the country in a very conspicuous man-
ner. There
ryas sent off for London, lately, from
Paisley, a small piece of muslin, about one pound
weight, the history of which• is as follows :
The wool came from the East Indies to London ;
from London it went into Lancashire, where it
.was manufactured into yarn ; from Manchester it
was sent to Paisley, where it was woven ; it was
sent to Ayrshire next,._wbere:it was tamboured ;
afterwards it was conveyed ter Dumbarton, where
it was hand-sewed, and again returned to Paisley,
when it was sent to a distant part of the county of
Renfrew, tO be bleached, and was returned to Pais-
Icy; whence it was sent toGlasgow, and was finished;
and from Glasgow was sent per coach to London.
It is difficult precisely to ascertain th'e time taken
to bring this article to market ; but it may be
pretty near the truth to reckon it three years front
the time it was packed in India till it arrived in
cloth at the merchant's warehouse in London ;
whither it must have been conveyed 5,000 miles
by sea, and 920 by land, and contributed to re-
ward no less than 150 people, whose services
were necessary in the carriage and manufacture
of this small q9antity of cotton, and by which the
value Was been advanced 2000 per cent. What is
said of this one piece is descriptive of no inconsi
derable part of the trade.

ILLLNG SHEEP.—A singular species of rob-
bery has Been carried on to a considerable extent
in the neighbourhood of Coulsdown, near Croy-
don. Sheep belonging to farmers have been
killed in the night, cot open, and divested of the
gall and kidney fat, and the remainder of the car:
case left upon the ground. Mr. Searle, of Colds-
down, has-been a great sufferer by this novel
mode of robbery, and within the last five weeks
has by these means been deprived of thirteen va-
luable sheep. The country people and constables
have been upon the alert to discover the depre-
dators ; but their exertions and .vigilance have
been hitherto unattended with success.
MELANCHOLY CIRCUNISTANCE,-An occurrence
of a very melancholy description took place about
three miles front Coventry, on the road leading
front Warwick to that -city, on Tuesday last, be-
tween the hours of nine and ten at night.—As a
young min, of the name of Law, was on his return
home from Kenilworth Statutes, in company with
several other petsons, they were met by a party of
.men, who, it would appear, began to insult them ;
a quarrel immediately ensued, and in a struggle
which took place soon afterwards, Law received a
mortal stab with a knife, or other sharp instru-
ment, in the lower part of his body. The party,
observing the dreadful result of the encounter,
with the exception of a man nantetl Jackson, who
was secured, instantly fled ; they were, however,
actively putsued, and three others were appre-
hended' in the course of the night. The unfortn-
uate matt was immediately taken from the spot,
in a most distressing state, and conveyed to the
Windmill public-house, at Stivichall, where, after
lingering in consideiable agony, and notwith-
standing every medical assistance, he expired early.
the 'text morning,—The deceased wa, a single
man, about 26 years of age.---;1 Coroner's fugues(
assembled at nine o'clock tot Thmsday morning,
and did oot break -up until twelve at night,
when proceedings were adjoarued to eight o'clock
the toliowihg day. No fewer than A witoe,ses
were ext4ntined in the course
of the.investigatioo.
The Jury retttruecl a verdict of " Mur-
der" against Jackson and two others, who have
since been committed to take their Rids at,the
next Assizes,—The deceased was notch beaten
about the head previously to receiviog the fatal
wound.--(Birmingham Chronicle, Oct. 1.)
