STAMMERING

MR. HUNT, of 224, Regent-street, and late of Trinity
College, Cambridge, may be consulted at 63, REN-
SHAW-STREET, Liverpool, until the 22nd iusfant. A
Prospectus, containing Testimonials, &c. sent/on applica-
tion, free of expense.
(From the Hampshire Advertiser.)
I have no doubt, as the subject of it is of great interest to
the public, that you will give admission t f this short letter in
one of your columns.
On my arrival at Southampton, last week, I found Mr.
Hunt, who professes to remove entirely the most inveterate
impediments of speech in persons of all ages. This gentle-
man came to me in the beginning of October, at my resi-
dence, Wyke Cottage, near Weymouth, and mentioned his
pretensions to certain success in the said art. I have a
youth under my tuition, about sixteen years old, who la-
boured under this infirmity to that degree, that he could not
bring out his words without the utmost struggle and diffi-
culty. Notwithstanding, much as I wished that he should
be cured of such a defect, I was incredulous, and would not,
without a more solid ground of assurance, hazard the experi-
ment, as the young gentleman is of great expectations. But
the Rev. Mr. Addison, who is the head of a school in my
neighbourhood, having, after Mr. Hunt's application to me,
placed under his care four of his pupils who stammered ex-
ceedingly, and their restoration to the free use of speech
being completely effected, I had no longer cause for hesita-
tion. I, therefore, put my young friend under Mr. Hunt's
instructions ; and I have the satisfaction to assert, that he
now reads and speaks with a perfect fluency of elocution.
But it has been surmised, I am told, that such a relief is only
of temporary duration. I can affirm with confidence, that a
suspicion of this kind is without the slightest foundation ;
for it is now upwards of three months since these young gen-
tlemen experienced the benefit of Mr. Hunt's invaluable
skill, and not one of them has relapsed at all.
I thought it a duty to the public, and an act of justice to
Mr. Hunt, to give this testimony ; and as I propose to re-
main at Southampton about two weeks longer, should any
person desire more satisfaction upon any particular point, I
shall be happy to furnish them with it in a personal conver-
sation.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN DU PRE, D.D.

"YANG,"
THE CENTRAL FIRE

WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint-
ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed
the intelligence then received with" Settlement of the Chi-
nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade
resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18
years' experience of the Chinese told him tha Isis country-
men had been duped ; and he predicted th , though Ke-
shin might promise millions, he wo d ever pay a dollar;
that, instead of resuming trade, he Id enforce its stop-
page, to keep the English without tea ;" and that " Elliot
would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro-
mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi-
nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S Or CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic-
tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese
definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc-
ceeded Ke-sbin. " YANG " has officially recommended
" the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup-
ply is quite exhausted," when he foretels that " they will
become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious
leaf." Commodore I3remer's despatch mentions that " the
Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the
statement that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and
burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name.
CAPTAIN KIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will
be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come
out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer
than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold
under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea-
dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he
alone imports, and which they found it impossible to procure,
have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so
that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,"
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against
such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."

This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package. For country agencies, address Cap-
tain Pidding, 22, College-hill, London.

Dedicated, by permission, to the Lord Bishop of London,
THE CHURCHES OF LONDON ; a History and
Description of the ECCLESIASTICAL EDIFICES OF THE
METROPOLIS.
By GEORGE GODWIN, Jun., Architect, F.R.S. & F. S.A.,
AND
JOHN BRITTON, Esq., F.S.A.
WITH ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN ILLUSTRATIONS.
Printed for the Proprietor, and Sold by L. and G. SEELEY,
Fleet-street, London.
*** Of the 75 Churches described apd illustrated in this
work, 42 were erected by Sir Christophler Wren shortly after
the great fire : a connected series of views of these buildings,
such as is here for the first time published, cannot fail to be
interesting both to the admirers of that great architect, and
to the promoters of Church Building in the present day. Of
the more important, views both of the exterior and interior
have been given ; drawn and engraved by the well-known
artists and engravers, McKenzie and Billings, Le Keux and
Challis. The steel engavings amount in number to fifty-
nine, and those on wood, by S. Williams, to fifty-seven ; so
that the work is decidedly cheaper than of those usually de-
signated " Annuals." Of the descriptive part it may be
sufficient to say, that it has been pronounced creditable to
the Author, by all the most respectable periodicals. The
following highly favourable notices appeared at various times
during the publication of the work in numbers, and the names
of the periodicals attached to the extracts will be a sufficient
warrant for their impartiality ; but if it could possibly
strengthen this assurance, the proprietor pledges his word
that no one of them has been solicited, and_they may there-
fore be fairly considered as the perfectly unbiassed opinions
of the various editors.
CIVIL ENGINEERS' AND ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL.—No.
3.—" This very useful and popular work has arrived at its
eleventh number.... The author is entitled to the warmest
encomiums of the profession, for his efforts in the endeavour
to inculcate into the minds of the public a taste for this im-
portant branch of architecture."
THE ASIATIC JOURNAL.—" Three parts of this elegant,
acceptable, and very cheap work, have appeared, and they
do infinite credit to the artists and the authors. Each num-
ber contains two views of a Church, with historical and an-
tiquarian matter.
LOUDON'S ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.—" The two
numbers before us contain four exquisitely-engraved plates of
St. Paul's Cathedral,—a beautiful wood Engraving of the
Cathedral as it appeared before the lire in 1666, and others
of the monuments to Lord Nelson, the Marquis Cornwallis,
and Bishop Heber. The letter-press appears to be compiled
with taste and judgment, combining historical relation with
critical and professional remarks : and on the wrapper of
each number is given a glossary of technical expressions, for
the use of non-professional readers. The extreme cheapness
of the work, and the superior manner in which it is got up,
cannot fail to ensure it a very extensive sale."
THE LITERARY GAZETTE.—" This undertaking is worthy
of the rising talent of Mr. Godwin, and promises to be a
very complete and interesting production. The number be-
fore us is altogether a favourable specimen."
THE SAME. Nov. 10.—" This pretty little publication
proceeds with undiminished neatness and accuracy in its
graphic, and with increasing interest in ifs typographic de-
partment.
Notices of the concluding number.
" The publishers of this interesting and elegant series have
brought their work to a close. It is appropriately dedicated
to the Bishop of London, who has done so much in preserv-
ing some of the City's most ancient ecclesiastical structures
from destruction, in the various improvements that have
been made in the different streets, as well as for his Lord-
ship's exertions to increase the number of the places of wor-
ship. As an instance of the care with which this publication
has been conducted, it ought to be mentioned that in the
concluding number the proprietor has presented other im-
pressions where the former plates had been accidentally
issued in a style inferior to the best of the series. The pub-
lishers promise a continuation of the series, to consist of the
churches of Westminster, Southwark, and the Suburbs,
should the work now concluded meet with the favour which
it fully merits."—Record, August sth, 1839.
" This work is now complete, and comprehends a valuable
collection of engravings, on steel and wood, of the Metro-
politan Churches, illustrated with descriptions at once popu-
lar and erudite. It makes a very handsome book, at a rea-
sonable price, and we trust that the patronage of the public
(which it well deserves) will excite Mr. Godwin to extend
his plan."—Asiatic, Sept. 1.
" The 30th number of this publication has made its appear-
ance, and contains sketches of nine of the metropolitan
churches from St. Alphage's London-wall, down to St. Bo-
tolph's Aldgate. Many interesting historical facts are brought
into notice in this series of brief, but careful notices, and the
vignette woodcuts, with which it is so freely illustrated, are
of a very neat kind. In this number there is, moreover, a
view of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, and another of St.
Stephen's, Walbrook, from the pencil of Mackenzie, which
are of more than ordinary interest. The latter especially
does much oredit to one of the best architectural draftsmen
to whom the school of England has ever given birth.-211orn-
ing Herald, August 16.
