JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.—This infallible Remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery from convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums the Child will be re- lieved. It is as innocent as efficacious and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the gums and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.—The great success of this Medicine during the last Twenty-five Years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it under the name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, be very paticular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the Names of BARCLAY and SONS (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe) is on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle. BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW ROAD, KING'S CROSS, LONDON. THE grand desideratum of a cheap, easy, and certain remedy to all diseases, having at length been discovered on a simple and natural process, by Mr. Morrison, the Hygeist, the Vegeta- ble Universal Medicines" are presented to the afflicted in any complaint whatever, as their sure reliance of a certain cure. As testimonies of the great benefits received from all parts of the kingdom, in every complaint, and from parties giving their names and residences, one or more new cases will be inserted in this paper weekly. CURE OF INDIGESTION AND A TUMOUR. This is to certify to my fellow-creatures in affliction, that I am convinced, that Mr. Morrison's Universal Medicines are excellent means, in the hands of God, for curing or relieving, in most cases of diseases incident to the human frame at any age whatever. I was, for many years, afllicted with a violent pain in my stomach, from indigestion, which came on after eating or drinking. This brought on a train of disorders, and at times much fever and loss of appetite; and after having taken any nourishment, such as sago, arrow-root, or beef-tea, it gave me as much pain as though 1 had taken solid food. I had attendance and advice of many doctors and medical gentlemen, but found only partial relief from any of their Medicines. Some time since, a friend called to re- commend me Morrison's Medicines; I, at first thought that at my time of life (being nearly seventy-four years of age) they would not be any good to me however, I determined, from the the strong recommendation I had, to give them trial-and before I had taken one box my stomach was much better had, also, a large gathering in my side, which was very sore and painful, and which I was afraid would turn to a cancer. I did not take the Medicine for this complaint, but, to my astonishment, before I had taken the first box, I found the lump diminishing, and by persevering it is quite gone, and I am thankful to say my health is greatly improved. Of the correctness of this statement I will convince any person who should like to call on me. Feb. 15, 1831. Mrs. PIKE, Trafalgar-street, Brighton. REFORM IN MEDICINE. British College of Health, New Road, King's-Cross. THE ADHERENTS OF THE HYGEIN THEORY, the friends of humanity, and those too who are friends to themselves, and anxious to preserve their health, cure their diseases, and en- joy life, are now earnestly entreated to unite their efforts, and petition the Legislature, so as to bring about a reform in Medical Knowledge-the most necessary of all science to the welfare and happiness of mankind, and which heretofore has never been un- derstood. The exclusive charters granted so as to bestow on a body of men the monopoly of all their fellow men are highly de- trimental to our best interest, and require correcting. THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH has uniformly been acting with this in view, and their endeavours have been crowned with the greatest success. The third edition of Moriso- niana is now on sale, comprising Orisin of Life and cause of Diseases explained," with a great variety of cases of cure in all kinds of diseases throws a new light on Medical Science and the functions of the body and places this new theory and practice beyond a suspicion of doubt. The Hygeian Agents throughout the country are instructed to receive signatures, and transmit them to the College. The Vegetable Universal Medicine is sold in Boxes at Is I'd, 2 2s 9d, and 4s 6d and in Family Packets (of three 4s 6d boxes, at lis and the Aperient Powders at Is ljd, by 2 Mrs. Heath, Bookseller, Agincourt-square, Monmouth Mr. W.

LONDON NEWS.\ ---I
LONDON NEWS. Mr. Denzil Onslow, late clerk to Messrs. Drummond and Co., bankers, whose mysterious disappearance some months ago excited so much painful solicitude, has returned to his friends. It is understood that the parcel containing the property returned to the banking-house was forwarded by himself, and that some trifling indiscretion was the sole cause which prevented his returning to his duty. THE LORD MAYOR.—The Gazette of Friday announces what fame had announced before—the elevation of the Lord Mayor to the dignity of Baronet. MR. WELLESLEY.—This gentleman has been the subject of another motion in that court where, according to Moore, there is perpetual motion but no progress. Sir Edward Sugden applied on Friday to the Court of Chancery, for an order calling on Mr. Wellesley to place his son as well as his daughter within the jurisdiction. It seems Mr. Court- ney saw little Miss Wellesley at Paris, and she expressed a wish to return to her aunt's, provided she might now and then see her father. Sjr Edward also put in a copy of a letter from Mr. Wellesley, to the following effect: — "Fleet Prison, July 1831. Courage and Perseverance. Here I am in gaol; and here I will rot before I will deliver up my child. W. L. T. WELLESLEY." The new London Bridge consists of five beautiful semi- elliptical arches, the respective spans of which are, the first or end arches, on each side, 140 feet; and the centre arch 152 feet. These are constructed solely of granite, of the finest description and workmanship. The width of the carriage-way is 36 feet, and the footways 9 feet on each side, making a total width of .54 feet. The bridge is to be lighted with gas; treble lamps are over the centre arch, and double over each of the other arches. The lamps are cast from the cannon taken in our various continental wars. The gross expenses of the erection of the bridge exceed £ 650,000—a sum far beyond the original estimate. The purchases of property to open the approaches to the new bridge are not included in this calculation. We understand that the King has at length determined on the completion of Buckingham Palace, and that it will henceforth form the residence of the British Court. It has been estimated by the competent officers that what remains to be done to the Palace, to make it in a suitable state for the reception of their Majesties and the royal suite, can be accomplished by an expenditure of £ 70,000, but in this sum many of the ornamental embellishments contemplated in the original design are not included, but are to be dis- pensed with, and nothing but what is substantially neces- sary to the completion of the building is to be executed.- Several of the nobility, accompanied by the Earl of Mun- ster, on Thursday, inspected the interior of the Palace. ANOTHER DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER-FIVE LIVES LosT.-On Wednesday se'nnight an inquisition was taken at the sign of the Anchor and Hope, Charlton, Kent, on view of the bodies of Charles Edgar and Sarah Winter, who were drowned with three others, a father aud two of his children, in the river off the above place, on Sunday last. Thomas Woolford, of No. 5, York-street, Commer- cial-road, stated that on Sunday morning last a party of eight, consisting of himself, the two deceased persons, three others also deceased, named Thomas Sinnock, and Thomas and Anna his infant son and daughter, and two others, pro- ceeded down the river from Somers' Quay, in a small jolly- boat, to the house of Mr. Painter, the Ferry-house, opposite the 'Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. On their return home, about six o'clock in the evening, all perfectly sober, they lost one of their sculls, and finding they could not manage the boat with a single scull, witness constructed a sort of sail, which he fastened to the hitcher, and they were thereby enabled to make some way up the river. Unfortunately, however, the sail gave way at the top of the pole, and wit- ness was in the act of righting it at the moment a steam- boat was passing, and the swell of the water from the power of her engine, and the quick rate at which she was going, upset the boat, and all on board were immersed in the water. Witness lost sight of the whole party in a moment, and five out of the eight met with a watery grave. Witness was satisfied that the deaths of the unfortunate people arose entirely in accident. Verclict-" Accidental Death." The Duke of Wellington has commenced an action against Mr. Smart, High Constable of the Holborn division of Os- sulston Hundred, for the damage done to his windows by the mob the night of the illuminations for the reform bill. The action will be defended. The Marquis of Londonderry has also brought his action against Mr. Lee, the High Con- stable of Westminster, who also defends. Crockford has also given the necessary notices. » The Charleston Courier says—Our Minister at TIondon is reported, in a letter from a lady, dated at that city, to have said, in speaking of the late dissolution of the parlia- ment by William IV., that he would almost rather have had the feelings of that personage on the day that he dis- solved parliament than those of any other man that has ever lived." GREENLAND WHALE FISHERy.-Wednesday se'nnight, the London, Burn, arrived at Montrose from Greenland, I ai)d, with ten fish, about 100 tuns of oil. Left the ice in July, had an excellent passage home, and is, we believe, the first arrival this season. Capt. Burn brings a pretty favourable account of the fishing. Most of the ships he spoke in the country had from five to seven whales. Plenty of fish made their appearance; but, in consequence of the thickness of the weather, they were frequently unable to pursue them.

COUNTRY NEWS. THE WONDERS OF THE DEEP.-In boring for water at Castle Rising, near Lynn, a part of the coast on which the sea has been for many years progressively encroaching, at the depth of 600 feet, several horns were found, supposed to be those of the unicorn; they were straight, about two feet in length, and one inch in circumference, and hollow, the medullary substance being petrified. At 640 feet nu- merous oysters were found the shells were half-open. At the depth of 660 feet a large oak-tree was met with it was quite black, and its texture extremely hard.

Derry, was sailing across to the Antrim side of Lough Neagh, in his own boat, accom- panied by six persons, some of them boys, a quarrel arose from one of the boys making fun of another who had hesi- tation in his speech, which ultimately proceeded to blows, when the boat upset, and Mr. Bamford, with five others met an early and untimely grave. y 11 SUICIDE OF A BOY, THROUGH GAMBLING.—On Monday se'nnight an inquest was held by Mr. Carttar, the coroner for Kent, at the Leather Bottle, at Northfleet, on the body of a fine lad, aged 16. It appeared that the unfortunate lad was in the service of Mr. Law, of Northfleet, and up to a short period he always conducted himself in the most ex- emplary manner; but latterly he had become the associate of a party of lads, about his own age, who were much ad- dicted to gambling, &c. On Saturday afternoon his master and his family happened to go out, and during their absence he joined his old companions, with whom he lost about 17s. His ill luck acted so powerfully upon his mind, that he went home and hung himself by his neckcloth to a beam in his master's stable. The jury returned the following ver- dict—" Deranged and distracted." The arrangements for the formation of the Gloucester Troop of Cavalry are now nearly completed, and several of the members of the corps have commenced private training. The commissions of the following gentlemen have been re- ceived though not yet gazetted ;-viz. Captain James Wood- bridge Walters, Lieutenant Edmund G. Hallewell, Cornet William Russell Skey, and Quarter Master Ben Johnson. Monday se'nnight, a very large crop of the avanacea, or skin- less oats, was cut in a field in the parish of Ashford, near Barn- staple. If it be true, as stated, that this species of oat produces from eighty to ninety bushels per acre, and that each bushel yields 50ibs. of flour, there caa be little doubt that properties so desirable will bring it into generalise. The Bedford County Press gives the following statement as a proof of the advantages of allowing allotments of land to the poor :-That the head prize given by the Horticul- tural Society for the best cultivated cottage garden was awarded to a man who has an allotment of land from the directors of the Bedford House of Industry, and that two of the prizes for vegetables were also given to.two other men having allotments of the same land. We hope this will in- .d uce land owners to encourage and extend this laudable system, which is found to be so advantageous. The new duties upon wine are to take effect from the 20th of July last, and with this view the stock in hand through the country has recently been taken by the Excise. By these regulations, there is an advance of duty of 8d per gallon upon Portugal and Spanish wines, an increase of 4d per gallon upon Cape wines, and a decrease of Is 9d per gallon upon French wines. On Tuesday morning George Gilchrist, the owner of the Glasgow coach, who was convicted of stealing from it a banker's parcel containing upwards of £4000, underwent the dreadful sentence of the law at Glasgow. The crowd to witness the execution was very great. When it was an- nounced to him on Friday that the law must take its course he uttered a loud shriek, and abandoned himself to all the poignancy of despair, but his serenity of mind soon returned, and he devoted himself to preparation. When he was led from his cell on Tuesday morning he seemed completely stupified, and after looking wildly around, he rushed to- wards a window, which he threw up, and seated himself in a chair in a state of complete exhaustion but he behaved with some firmness at the fatal scaffold. His horses were sold for upwards of 1100. His thirst for wealth excited him to form the plan of robbing the coach about four years, and he proceeded slowly to procure associates, and arrange his schemes.

FOREIGN NEWS. The following official announcement is extracted from the Moniteur of August 4 :-The King of Holland has de- nounced the armistice, and announced the renewal of hos- tilities against the Belgians, for the evening of the 4th of August, at half-past nine o'clock. This morning, at five o'clock, the King received a letter from the King of the Belgians, asking him for the assistance of an army. The King having recognized the independence of the kingdom of Belgium and its neutrality, in concert with England, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, the circumstances being urgent, accedes to the request of the King of the Belgians; he will cause the engagements to be respected which have been entered into with common consent between the great powers. Marshal Gerard commands the army of the north, which marches to the aid of Belgium, whose neutrality and independence will be maintained. The peace of Europe, disturbed by the King of Holland, shall be consolidated. Under such circumstances the ministry remains; it will wait for the answer of the Chambers to the speech from the throne. By order of his Excellency the Minister of Finances, the Commissary of the Exchange, (Signed) BAUDESSON DE RICHEBOURG. Aug. 4, Thursday morning, 9 o'clock. Letters from Brussels state that at one o'clock the fol- lowing was posted on the walls of the city, and is read with the greatest avidity :— PROCLAMATION OF THE KING. Belgians !—On taking possession of the throne, to which the national will has called me, I said, on my addressing the repre- sentatives of Belgium-" If, notwithstanding all the sacrifices made to preserve peace, we should be menaced with war, I should not hesitate to appeal to the courage of the Belgic people, and I hoped that they would all, and together, rally round their chief, for the defence of the country and the independence of the i lo' nation." These words I this day address to all the nation. Without a previous declaration, the enemy have suddenly recom- menced hostilities, thereby despising and breaking at one time the engagements resulting from the suspension of arms and the principles that regulate civilized people. They have not hesitated to perpetrate the most odious breach of the law of nations, and by a surprise they wish to gain some momentary advantages. They are the same men whom you conquered in September they now appear in the midst of peaceful districts, preceded by devastation and incendiarism. Strong in th^ conviction of our right, we shall repel this unexpected aggression—we shall oppose force to force. Already once you overcame Holland you com- menced the revolution by victories you will consolidate it by victories you will not prove unworthy of our glorious recollec- tions. Your enemies await you in the places which have alreadv been witnesses of their defeat. Every one of you will do his duty. Belgians! like you, I will defend Belgium. I rely on the Civic Guard—on the army,—011 the courage and devotion of all. I am going to my post. I wait then, for all the Belgians, to whom their country, honour, and liberty, are dear. Brussels, August 4. (Signed) LEOPOLD. By the King, The Minister of War, ad interim, COUXT D'HANE. The Minister of the Interior, C. DE BROUCKERE. The Messager des Chambres of Monday last states that the invasion of the Dutch upon Belgium has taken place at four points—Breda in the direction of Turnhout, Bois le Due and Eindchoven in that of Hasselt; Sas-de-Grand upon dam of Capitalen Dam, the cantons of Cappel and Ertevelde in the direction of Ghent; and lastly upon Ant- werp, by a movement of the fleet and a landing of troops in the suburbs of the city. The attack has been made at all points by surprise. The Belgian troops, none of which were prepared, were forced to fall back after having sus- tained the attack as long as they were able. These engage- ments have been very bloody. From the very first the Dutch committed the same horrors which have already ren- dered them so odious in the eyes of the Belgians. They have inundated with their troops, at an unlooked-for mo- ment, a great extent of country loaded with corn, and burnt those villages not thus inundated. The following is an extract of a letter from Antwerp:— We hourly expect the news of some tragical scenes in our unhappy city, which is sacrificed to the hatred of Amsterdam. In the environs the habitations are burnt, and the. village of Pal- les has been burning since yesterday that of Cappel is half destroyed, and children have been run through with the point of the bayonet." A letter from Ghent contains some details no less hor- rible :— "Robbery, murder, pillage, and burnings follow the footsteps of our enemies; several farms and chateaux, after being stripped of every thing, were burnt. The estates of M. Dubosch and M. v an Brussel are mentioned among others which have been des- troyed. The principal farmer of M. Dubosch, after having his eyes put out, was shot. The host of the Maison Blanche, near Selzaete, was nailed to a tree by the ear, then brutallv torn from it and hanged." These monstrocities would disgrace the Dutch character, if we did not know that King William's army was com- posed of a set of deserters and mercenaries of all nations, to whom plunder and devastation are a mere pastime. Such an army well deserves chastisement, which, sooner or later, it will get, and which would indeed be rendering a service to Holland, whose liberties must ultimately be trodden upon by a soldiery without restraint or country.
