THE BEST AND MOST DURABLE HATS IN THE

K INGDOM.
BOWDEN, Waterproof Hat Maker, 17, and 27, High
Street, Bloomsbury, most respectfully informs his numerous
Customers and Palencia he has opened the House (17) nearly opposite
St. Giles's Church, partly in consequence of the increasing demand for'
Hats of his manufacture, and partly to counteract an opposition forming
by some individuals known by the cognomen of Jews, who have crept
two the trade and dubbed themselves Hat Makers, vending an Article
which the unsuspecting Purchaser might imagine, from a casual surrey,
to be intrinsically good, and thereby materially injuring the long.esta.
blished fame he has enjoyed, from the circumstance of many occasional
customers not being acquainted with the precise situation of his houses.
BOWDEN needs only to add, that from the extensive patronage he
has already received, (and which be with gratitude views daily extend.
ed) he is convinced that all articles purchased at his houses have given
that satisfaction which it ever has and shall be his study to deserve ;
asking as a favour from the public, and his more immediate friends,
that they mill please to observe his Establishments are only Two in
that Street, viz. 17 and 27, which Houses he has endeavoured to ten.
der conspicuous, thereby to avoid disappointment.

DE V.I.NTATION OF POLAND.

Ye hlnnarchs, whom List lure of honour draws,
Who write in block; the merits of your cause—
Who strike the blow, then plead your own deft:nix,
Glory your aim. but justice your pretence—
Behold in Xtna's emblematic fires
2'!:e mischiers your ambitious pride inspires !
Fast by the stream that bounds your just domain,
And tells you where ye have a right to reign,—
A nation dwells, not envious of your throne,
Studious of peace—their neighbours' and their own.
ill-f:attl race ! deeply must they rue
Their only clime, vicinity to you !

What cre ye. Monarchs. latirell'il heroes, say,
But .Etnas of the sue.ring world ye sway ?
Sweet Nature. stripp'd rf her embroider'd robe,
MTh,' es the wasted regions of her globe ;
And stands a witness,. at Truth's awful bar,
To prove you there—destrovers—as ye ate.
! place me in some Heaven-protected isle,
Whers Pace and Equity, and Freedom smile ;
Where no volcano pours its fiery flood,
7.:ia treated warrior dips his plume in Woad :
Where Power secures what Industry has won ;
W.iere to succeed is co• to be undone ;
A land that distant tyrants hate in vain,
In Britain's isle, beneath a [William's] reign.

triots, whose numbers increase daily. The Lithu-
anian troops are already under the command of
General Skrzynecki. At Nasulsk our troops took
a spy, who had 212 ducats; in hie pockets. The
patriots from the other side of the DUna have al-

The General-in-Chief 'has proposed to the Go-

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JULY 2.—The
accounts from the neighbouring province of Augus-

hear that Gen. Cielgud, on his return from his un-
successful expedition to Lithuania, has already
passed that province, and is on the way to Lomza,
where large detachments of Russian troops of the
main army are arrived, in order to take the retreat-
ing Poles betwee❑ two fires ; but on the other
hand, it is said that regular Polish troops had
been seen near the village of Gingen, opposite to
the town of Augustowo, and close to the Prussian
frontiers and that it seems that Polish troops are
concealed in the woods, and are secretly pro-
ceeding along the frontier. It is added, that the
Russian troops under Generals Sass and Alferies
had marched front Augustowo to Rayfrod, where
Gorstenzwig was expected on the 2d instant.
POLISH FRONTIERS, JULY s.—According to
accounts from Warsaw, the Polish troops under
General Skrzynecki, are said to have resumed

COATTILD V. BALL%

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an architect and
surveyor, against the defendant, an upholsterer, to recover 1191, the
balance of a sum claimed as compensation for preparing and drawing
certain plans of a number of new houses erected by the defendant in
Hyde.park place. Hyde-park corner. The original contract between
the parties ass that the plaintiff was to he paid 4001. for planning and
executing the drawings, &c. and to receive '2l guineas a week for super.
intending the progress of the work. The plaintiff accordingly executed
the drawings, and continued to superintend the work until he was ob-
liged, by indisposition to go into the country, after which he continued
to send up written instructions to town, in accordance with which the
work was finished. It was contended, however, on behalf of the defendant
that the plaintiff was not entitled to the full remuneration contracted
for, in consequence of his having discontinued his personal superinten-
dence of the work. _ _ _ _ _ _

The jury, however, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount of the balance claimed.

POYNTER V. NORRIS.
This was an action brought by a suryeyor against a gentleman ofi
some fortune, residing at Betshanger, near Deal, to recover a sum of
eighteen guineas, claimed under these circumstances. The defendant
is the proprietor of the advowson of Betehanger, and, conceiving a desire
to effect some alterations in the church, he requested the plaintiff, whom
he met at a friend's house at Margate, and who had been recommended
to him as an architect of great talent and taste, to ride over to Beta.
hanger a distance of five miles, and give him his opinion as to the in..
tendeeimprovement. The plaintiff accordingly made two journies to
the place, and also made some pencil sketches, and upon his arrival
in town, be employed another surveyor to make an estimate of the
expense, which the latter calculated at 1,1001. For this ser-
vice the plaintiff demanded 181. las, 111. of 'which he chimed as per
tentage on the estimate, and the balance due for his rides and sketches.
The defendant refused to pay him this sum, alleging that 1,1001. would
build the whole church from the ground twice over • and the slight
pencil sketches, therefore, which he had sent, had been no manner of
use. He paid, however, twelve guineas into court. The plaintiff called
witnesses, who swore that five guineas a day was a reasonable allow.
once, in their opinion, for riding toe distance of five miles, and making
sketches, exclusive of per tentage of one per cent. on the estimate.
The Jury, however, thought that the sum paid into court by the de-
fendant was sufficient remuneration, and returned a verdict accordingly.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT 26.
READ V. Wll .NOT.

In this case the judgment of the Court was, that a deed may be re-
ceived in evidence, which secures to several Persons a sum of money,
°eh tit- ad valorem stamp may not be sufficient if the sums were
• they pep :rattly, because as the specific sum due to each person is not
Jr er :weed, they could not sue individually for any part of the aggre.
gate sum, and, consequently, they have not separate interests in the
security.
With respect to the proper stamp not being on the first deed pro.
(bleed at the trial, by which it was sought to introduce the second, the
objection was fatal; therefore the Court, considering the interests of
all parties, ordered that a new trial be granted. the defendant paying
the costs of the former and the present application.

Have ye aharpen'd your swords ? for the battle is nigh
The morn of the conflict iv breaking;

Shall enlighten the path you are taking,
Bright hope in your bosoms awaking,
That the vengeance which slept under Muscovitisway,
The treasure of years shall be kindled to-day.
'Tie Freedom that calla you! though dim be the sun,
The darkness around you dispelling
Though death-flres enshroud you, and waste is begun,
She to deeds of high worth is compelling,
Points to every loved altar and dwelling.
And demands from the sons of the noble in fame
If the helLtuark of slave must still blacken their name!
lit the dory your tyrants would quench, but in vain—
By tee shades of your heroes departed—
By hint who, undaunted. again and again
Fnr the Anal of victory started,

By all that is worthy in man's little day,
Go dare as your fathers, or perish as they.
Have ye aharpen'd your %wnrdi for the banquet of death ?
Have ye made the blood-deep adjuration ?
Have ye dared on the harard the stake of your breath ?
Again ye shall he a free ration—
Not vain shall be your invocation :
The call of each sword urn Lib,rtv's aid
Shall be written in gore on the steel of its blade !

OUTRAGES 111 IRELAND.

Mr. O'CONNELL begged to be informed on what
grounds individuals who had come forward and offered to
prosecute at their own expense, in some case of outrage, had
been refused to be allowed to proceed, when it would have
saved the public expenditure.
Mr. STANLEY in explanation said, that it had been
deemed important by the Government not to surrender the
right of proceeding on their own part, but that they should
co-operate with the parties in the prosecutions.
After sonic observations front Mr. LEPOT, Mr. Sul EL,
and Mr. NORTH, the conversation was stopped by Lott'
ALTIIOIII., who rose to order.

CUSTOMS ACTS.
The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the
Customs Acts.
London, England, 1831-07-12

ILIELAND.

On the motion that the house go into a Committee of
Supply,
Mr. O'CONNELL took the opportunity of expressing
regret at the answer he had received in an early part of the
evening, respecting the Castle Pollard affair; and the hopes
that the government would not prosecute, but that the parties
might be allowed to prosecute on their own account. It was
important that the government should have the confidence of
the people, and to get that confidence it was requisite that the
administration of justice should be without suspicion. If the
people could prosecute on their own account their confidence
would be greatly increased.
Lord ALT HORP observed that It would be better for
the Government not to prosecute at all—if they were not to
persecute all the case.: in the case of policemen, for in.
stance, how could the Govennnent avoid prosecuting? Not
to prosecute would only expose the Government to attacks ;
aril therefore, considering the delicacy of the situation of the
Government, he thought it was better that the existing course
should be pursued.
Blr. LE FROY lamented that these matters were made the
sebject of debate aid attack in that house. They did not
contribt.te to the advancement of justice. (Hear.)
Mr. O'CONNELL remarked, that he had carefully ab-
stained from making any remarks on the case; it was a
•• slaughter" certainly, and he had no gentler language to
apply to it. (Spoke.)
Mr. HUM E observed, that he thought the cases ought to
be prosecuted, as they would be in England, by the parties
immediately interested. Much was said about assimilating
the laws of the two countries; wiry was it not done in this
instance ? and which course would conatribute so largely to
give confidence to the administration of justice in Ireland.
TheA TTO R N EY-GEN ERA L observed, that the COME
pursued in Ireland appeared to be different from what would
be done in England ; that was not the fact. The Attorney.
General in England had the power of commencing prosecu-
tions. He considered the government could not adopt a better
course than to consult the Attorney-General and Lord Chan-
cellor for Ireland, and that had been done.
Mr. STANLEY said, he felt assured that when they
recollected who the Crown Law Officers of Ireland were,
they would feel the utmost reliance on every facility being
afforded to the prisoners to have questions put and their
cases investigated.
Mr. PERRING could not see any reason for rot allow-
kg the people to prosecute, if they were so disposed.
Mr. HUNT spoke to the like effect, adding, why should
the Government be so desirous of prosecuting, except they
wished to protect particular parties? (Hear.)
The question was then put and carried, and the house
resolved itself into a Committee of Supply.

the poor wire now &privet! to a greater extent of a cordial

fr:ir applies ion of fete trade; it only taxed the wines of
France to the extent of 40 per cent. whilst it laid on 150
per cent. on the wines produced in our colonies.
Mr. HUNT entirely disclaimed the statement of the
Hon. Gentleman. Vie Member for Aldborough (Mr.
frad'er), viz.—that Cape wine was a cordial for the poor.
Hear and a laugh).
Mr. SA D LER explained. He had had Cape wine ana-
lysed, and it coot:hued a greater quantity of alcohol than
any ether wine.— (Laughter).
The Gallery was cleared for a division—none, however,
took place. Strangers being admitted,
Mr. GOU LUC lIN was on his his opposing the men.

Portugal as regarded this country ; he could not hear of
Portugal being held up as acting in a friendly and generous

second the motion.

The Marquis of CH ANDOSaaid lie would act on his own
judgment respecting the course he should take.
51r. Hunt's motion 111,1 being seconded was not put.
Sir E SUG DEN t nquired whether it was intended to
bring forward any bills for the regulation of the proceedings
in Chancery, and whether any arrangement had been made
respecting the retired allowances of the masters and other
officers who had retired, and of th se who had been appointed.
The SOI.ICITOIt.G EN ERA L said the noble lord who
presided in the Court intended immediately to bring in bills
for the regulation of its practice : the olliecrii who retired
were to receive the usual allowances those who had been
appointed were to conform to any future atrangement that
should be made.

Lord MORPETH presented seven petitions from pa-
rishes in Yorkshire, for the immediate Abolition of the slave
trade ; also a petition from Bradford, complaining of the
numbr of hours children worked in factories; and a petition
from Bratifty d, for annual parliaments, vote by ballot, and
universal suffrage. Ile could not support the prayer of the
last petition.
Mr. HUNT supported the prayer of the petition. He
thought any man who was too poor to vote, was too poor to

Commit tee.

DEDICATED TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR BROUGHAM.

PATRIOTIC EDUCATION.
DOWN to the present time there has been undue delicacy
in rendering the principles of CIVIL LIBERTY a distinct
branch of Education ; and instruction on these important subjects has
been considered incompatible with prejudices artfully kept alive by
corrupt interests now contemned by the whole nation. There are,
however, innumerable Parents, who would desire to have their Soo,
inspired with principles which are the glory of Englishmen,--and
many enlightened Schoolmasters who would be happy to introduce this
national subject to their Pupils.
Sir RICHARD PHILLIPR, who for nearly forty years has been the
improver and reformer of Elementary Books, therefore respectfully in-
forms the Schoolmasters of the United Kingdom, that in a few days he
will publish,
A CONSTITUTIONAL CATECHISM, displaying the Fars
PRINCIPLES OF THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION, its advantages
and perfections, and its defects and desirable reforms; including a
plain abstract of the Reform Bill now before Parliament,—adapted to
the use of Schools, as an Elementary Book. Price ONE SniiEurci.
He hopes that among sensible Tutors, and in intelligent Families, such
a tract will become as general and fashionable as BLAIR'S WHY and
BECAUSE, or any School Book now in general use.

To be had of J. Bitooxs, 421, Oxford-street, and of all Book-
sellers in Town and Country,—with 13 to the Dozen.

SURREY DISPENSARY.

The anniversary of this excellent institution was celebratzd on Frid.,y
at the City of London Tavern. William Brougham, IN. M.P. u.t+
in the Chair, and nearly 150 gentlemen, chid!), belonging to the B.
rough, were present on the occasion.
After the usual toasts, Mr. BROUGHAM gave, " Success to
Surrey Dispensary," and entered into a brief account of its objects, and
the benefl.s which it was calculated to confer on the lower artier+ ..1
society. It wee founded in 1778, and was intended chiefly to furni-o
advice and medicine to those who had not the means to procure medicsl
or surgical assistance. Since its irstitution no less than 187,270
patients had been cured ce relieved, and of these. 53,008 had been
attended at their own habitations. About the commencement
of the Institu;ion, 1 in 34 died in the year, while at present
the avenge was not more than 1 in 99; and the expense
altogether was not more than 2s. a-heed for medicine, advice,
and surgical operations. When it was taken into account that nearly
5,000 persons received relief annually at such a trifling expense, and its
beneficial effects wese so apparent, be trusted, that :the public would
continue, as they had hitherto done, to contribute Largely to the sup.
port of the Institution. Last year there had been rather a faiPeg
in the contributions, but be trusted that the deficiency would this year
be made up.
The Secretary, Mr. Carter, who has long been a steady and effective
supporter of the charity, but who is, on account of uther avocations
about to resign, then read the report for the year, and sub:wriptions,
which amounted altogether to near 8001.

The United Service Journal.—May.
We never take up this work without being struck with the superior
value of a publication which gives facts to them which deal in theory
and fiction. Without even knowing the odour of gunpowder, every
person feels interest to hear about the heroic but unchristian exploits in'
which his employed. " War," a wise man has said, "is a game
'which, were the people wiser, kings would not play at ; " but, strange
so say, we have come to a period when kinp wish to avert war, and it
is the people who, judging by a neighbouring nation, are anxious to
bring it on.
The number opens with an Essay on " Tactics," from which a per-
son even not prepossessed may derive some curious information. The
second is a review of Capt. Beden's treatise on the " Discipline of ths
Mercantile Marine." The perusal of that work convinced us ion age.l
that some regulation is required on this gabfest, said there are some very
Judicious additional remarks tending to produce the same conviction
in this-Essay. The Essay ensile " State and Efficacy of the British
Army," and that on the " Organisation of the British Artillery," we
presume, merit the attention of those who have the direction of our
military affairs. " The Narrative of the late disastrous Voyage of
the Bridgewater" will find attentive readers everywhere; but more
particularly among those who are themselves about to embark on a
similar voyage, or who are interested in tte fate of absent or depart-
ing friends. " The Anecdote of Marshal Beresford on the Field of
Salamanca" is graphically related, and is a modest memorial, creditable
both to the hero and historian, Among numerous other interest-
ing papers, none will be perused more than the Memoir of
General Diebitsch, which have all the marks of an thenticity. The
short communication on the mode of arming and fighting steam-boats
should really obtain serious attention. There are several valuable geo-
graphical papers and miscellaneous practical hints on important sub.
jecta, which we recommend to our readers—Senex on Malaria is one of
them—but to descend from the smoke of cannon to a humbler sub-
ject, the smoke of cigars, we confess ourselves so much pleased by some
remarks on this subject, that we are tempted to make an extract s

TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.

MRS. JOHNSON, the original and only proprietor of
the celebrated" JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP," for Children Cutting their Teeth, Begs to inform the pub-
lic, and especially those ladies who have ho noured her by using the
above medicine, in preference to any other, for Infants suffering from
Dentition (the pain attending which it has immediately relieved, du-
ring the experience of the last twenty-five years) that, finding the
fatigue of preparing the said medicine greater than her health will
allow her to continue, and desirous that the Medicine may be dis-
pensed in all its original purity and effect, she has disposed of the
aecret for making the said Syrup to her friends, Messrs. Barclay lad
Sons, of Farringdon-street, London, who will faithfully prepare the
:ame, under her immediate direction. Mrs. Johnson, therefore, ear-
nestly requests all purchasers to take notice, that the Stamp affixed to
each bottle of the genuine Johnson's American Soothing Syrup,"
will hereafter contain the names of " Barclay and Sons," without
which it cannot be genuine ; and much evil may arise to Tawas
trom neglecting this caution, some unprincipled persons having pub-
lished spurious imitations.

THE METAMORPHOSES;
OR THE SCHOLARS AND THE ASS.

THREE Scholars, near Abingdon, lately espied
A fellow asleep in a ditch, by the road ;
An Au grazing near him, with panniers and load :
Said one, in whose bigb-polish'd Boots were descried,
By Warmers's fine Jet, the dark forms of reflection,
" The Ass in cur keeping we'll take, and protection,
And sell him, finances consumptive and bare
Recruiting, to-morrow, at Abingdon fair :
Then off with the panniers and place them my back on
The reins in my mouth !—now with Neddy pray pack on."
The owner awoke—rubb'd his eyes, as they met
His image, like two little imps in the Jet—
And cried, in amusement and terror. " alas!
Wern't you, my good friend, my identical au?"
so I was!" said the Scholar, " I was 'till this minute ! "
" The skin of an ass, man, sounds! how came you in it? "
" The reins from my mouth, and the load from my back
Pray take ;_these good imps to my shape, in a crack,
Restore me at last, by my father's permission,—
A quarrel, good sir,—he's a potent magician!
Relenting, these imps to relieve me be sent 'cm ;
I go, if you please, then, my thanks to present 'em :
An ass, much kind treatment I met with from you;
A man, then, I bid you a grateful adieu! "
The owner the ass recogniz'd at the fair,—
" What, quarreli'd again with your father already?"
He said; but to purchase him did'ut much care,
His shape and his services both so unsteady !
Yet still with an eye of entreaty attacking

THE BEST AND MOST DURABLE HATS IN THE

KING DOM.
nOWDEN, Waterproof Hat Maker, 17, and 27, High
Street, Bloomsbury, most respectfully informs his numerous
Customer' and Friends he has opened the House (17) nearly opposite
St. Giles's Church, partly in consequence of the increasing demand for
Mats of his manufacture, and partly to counteract an opposition forming
by some individuals known by the cognomen of Jews, who have crept
into the trade and dubbed themselves flit Makers, vending an Article
which the unsuspecting Purchaser might imagine, from a casual survey,
to be intrinsically good, a. d thereby materially injuring the long-esta.
blished fame he has enjoyed, from the circumstance of many occasional
customers not being acquainted with the precise situation of his houses.

BOIVDEN needs only to add, that from the extensive patronage he
has already received, (and which he with gratitude views daily extend-
ed) he is convinced that all articles purchased at his houses have given
that satisfaction which it ever has and shall be his study to deserve ;
asking as a favour from the public, and his more immediate friends,
that they will please to observe his Establishments are only Two in
that Street, viz. 17 and 27, which Houses he has endeavoured to ren-
der conspicuous, thereby to avoid disappointment.

Centleiren, that he manufactures Trusses upon an Int-
isnved Principle, for those afflicted with Hernia.
It is difficult to explain the nature with which some
Ruptures are kept from descending, and very frequently
to almost bid defiance to every kind of Truss to retain the
Rupture.

perience, to have a competent knowledge in securing the
most obstinate Cases of Ruptures with which persons have
ent afflicted a number of years.

tion of the Body, and has never bad any Case of Hernia
without being able to reduce it to its relative situation,
