( For tIle ether Letters 0:1 Medical Galvanism, Invalids are solicited to send to MK. II ALS,1 for his Pamphlet, See below.) LK I T Ell I. PARALYSIS.—TO IN V A LIDS -GALV AN IS M has for a long time been resorted lo as a powerful p has for a long time been resorted to as a powerful remedial a«ent, but, unfortunately, it has been applied by IIIcn totally ignorant of its principles. Can it, therefore, be won- deied at that it has so frequently failed of producing any benelicial etfets ? "ty gre It improvement ILL th,! t.LVANIC API'ARATfS wan a method to regulate its power to the greatest uicety, so that all infant may be galvanized without expe- riencing the least unpleasantness; but no sooner do llllak., it public that I have made this discovery, ilian a host of imiia- lors spring up like mushroom*, an>t state that they are also in possession of the secrct, and, by ail I hear, a very pretty mess they make of their secret. Now all fit,! world knows how eminently successful I have heCII ill cases of paralysis, par- ticularly six recent cases: this succesi I attribute etitifely to my superior method of regulating dIe power of the jrilvanic apparatus for, without a perfect regulating power, it t. utterly impossible to produce successful results. Scarcely a week passes but I have two or three patients who have been either galvanized by some pretender, or have been using that ridi- culous apparatus called the electro-ina^neiic oreiectro galvanic apparatus, and, as iuay be reasonably expected, without the slightest benefit. Mauy pretenders in the country, having heard of iny Kreat success, and Illy higli standing as a medical galvanist in London, have made it public that they have re- ceived instructions from net and are acting as my agents and, not satisfied with this, are actually selling apparatuses representing them to be miue. I shall, "f course, endeavour to put a stop to this in the mean lime, I now sale that my galvanic apparatuses cau be procured fro:u tne only, all 1 em- ploy no agents whatever. 1 will tlow endeavour to shew how galvanism acts iu cases of paralysis. Paralysis, or palsy,con- sists of three varieties—the hemiplegi." the paraplegic, and the local palsy. lu the first the patient is paralysed Oil one side "nty in the second the lower part of the body is affected on both sides; and 111 the third kind particular limtis are affected. The cause of the attacks it the wi'hdrawM of'nerroutt influence from the nerves and muscles of the various parts. Now Galvanism has been proved by the most emineut phy- siologists to be capable of supplying the nervous influence to those parts of lue body which may be deficient of it, and hence the reason of its astonishing effect in cases of paralysis. In patients thus afflicted, 1 fiud that souc parts of the spine are less sensitive than other pang; and, until those parts are aroused into ac-i-oll, the patiem will not recover. Any medical man, who knows anything whatever of Galvanism, "all be at onre convinced how applicable Galvanism must be for such complaints; for not only does it arouse the dormant nerves and muscles into action, but it supplies thelll with that Pimd of which they are deficient, viz. — (ho nervo is fi nd. I tliinx Ii, however, but fair to stale that. in cases of paralysis of long duration, I as frequently tail as succeed, whilsiun tt-crnt cases I generally succeed. Still Galvanism sho.ild be resorted 10 in every ca,,e of paralysis, no umttef of bow long duration it might have been, for it cannot poaiibly do any harm and it may do good. I repeat, Galvanism is a powerful remedy in cases of paralysis Health is the greatest worldly blessing we can enjoy, aud yet cmany invalids, for the sake of saving a few guineas, will pur- base apparatuses which are eutirely useless tor uiedical pur-t poses, Galvanism, they say, is 00 matter whether the price of the apparatus be much or little. They may as well say a ii idle is a fiddle, and that there is no difference III ihem. Surely no one of common sense wbe) frels destroui) of testing the remedial powers of 'ialvanism will, for the sake of a lew guineas, throw his money away by purchasing an imperfect i instead IIf a perfect apparatus. lie tntjy (IS well not try yul- vunism at all at try 1! with an inefficient apparatus. These latter remarks I addrrss particularly to Iliv-ilids; but how much stronger do they apply to medical men who are ap,dyiug galvacism ? Tlicy find It tail of producing those won.terful elfpcts which I have found it to produce! And why is it ? Simply, because they are using an imperfect apparatus. Scarcely'a day passes but I receive all order tor my ga.vanic apparatus from medical men who have been using the small 1 mac hines and found them useless. I conclude by stating that if Medical Men employ Galvanism at all in their practice, they are bound boiii in duty to tbem- selves and to their patients, to use the apparatus tn it petlt-ci form. The price is ten guineas. The cash to accompany the order. D Wil,t.L,Ul HOtJPI'.iC llALSE. 22, Brunswick Square, London.

DESPERATE ATTACK UPON GENERAL HAYNAU. On Wednesday morning week, shortly before twelve o'c'ock, three foreigners, one of whom was very old and wore Ion;; moustachiofl, presented themselves at the brewery of Me-srs. Barclay and Company, for the purpose of inspecting the establishment. According to the regular practice of visitors, they were requested to s'f»n their names in a book in the office, after which they crossed the yard with one of the clerks. On inspeclins the visitors' book the clerks discovered that one of the parties was no other than Marshal Haynau, the late commander of the Aus- trian forces during the attack upon the unfortunate Hun- garians. It became known all over the brewery in less 'han two minutes, and before the General and his companions had crossed the yard, nearly all the labourers and draymen tan out with brooms and dirt, shouting out, "Down with the Austrian butcher," and other epithets of rather an alar ning chaiacter to the Marshal. A number of the men gathered round the Mar-hal as he was viewing the lar^e vat. and continued their hostile manifes ations. Tne Mar- shal being made acquainted by one of tlie persons who accompanted him. ot the feeling prevailing against him, immediately prepared to retire. But this was not so easily done. The attack was commenced by dropping a tru-s 01 straw upon his head after he passed through one of the lower rooms; after which grain and missiles of every kind that came to hawl. were freely bestowed upon him. The men next struck his hat over his eyes, and hustled him from all directions. His clothes were torn off his back. One of the men seized him by the beard, and tried to cut it off. The Marshal's companions were treated with equal violence. They, however, defended themseives manfully, and suc- ceeded in reaching the outside of the budding. Here there were assembled about 500 persons, consisting of the brewer's men, coil-heavers, &c..the presence of the obnoxious vi-dtor having become known in the vicinity. No sooner had the Marshal made his appearance outside the gates than he was surrounded, pelted, struck with every available missile, and even dragged along by his moustache, which afTorded ample facilities to his assailants, from its excessive length, it reaching nearly down to his shoulders. Still battling with his assailants, he ran in a frantic manner along ilankside until he came to the George public-housa. when finding the doors open, he rushed in and proceeded up stairs into one of the be l-rooms, to the utter astonishment of Mrs. lienlield, the landlady, who soon discovered his name, and tie; reason of his entering the luui.se. The furious inob rushed in after him. threatening to do for the" Austrian butcher;" bUI, IOflUnatèly hr him, the house is very old- fashioned, and contains a Vast number of doors, which were all fort«»i open, except the roam in which tbld0atsha1 was The mob had increased at that time to-several hundreds, and from their excitod state Mr., Benfi Id Iw- came alarmed for her own propei ty as well as the Marshal's life. Sue accordingly dispatched a uie-^eefier to the South- wark p >:ici!-station f.)r the assistance of the police, and in a short time luspec or Squires arrived at the George with a number of police, and with great difficulty dispei?td the mob, and got the Marshal out of the house.

On Thursday, the President of the Republic, Louis Na- poleon, arrived at Cherbourg, at 8, P.M. The programme of the day having been issued, he was to have arrived at 5. The streets were lined with sjld.ers of the National Gu:<r.1 from the entrance to the city to the Admiralty-house. On his appr IMC1) he was received with a salute of "artillery from the heights of2'1 gun-. Tnii in the dark had a brilliant effect, the flishes of lit?lit lending the illusions of a night attack to the auimated scene. After the salute from the artillery it was taken up hy the battery on the right. The Pn sident was receive with every demonstration of respect, but with no enthusiasm. No doubt had he arrived earlier the recep- tion would have been much more imposing to the pubi c aud gratifying to himself; but the populace having waited several hours in anxious expectation, even French patience and politeness were tired ou1, The streets weie partially illuminated, the Adniiralty-nouse brilliantly s.). as id-o was the square. The President dined with the Port-Admiral on Thursday night at 9 o'clock. In the a'ternoon of that dav the dilrereIJt squadrons ot yachts under their respective commodores weighed and formed in two columns outside, and the miuner in which they performed their evolutions was verv creditable to their commanders and owners, the Xltil¡¿ (Eatl Wilton) giving the necessary signals. Tliev sailed round that magnificent structure the breakwater, and ran down the French line and took up their stations, anchor- ing according to signal. Altogether this was amotim- posing feature in the spectacle, and must have been exces- sively gratifying to every Englishman present. The ships of war, which were the following, were op"n to all comers, and every politeness and attention was shown, and we canuot but express our thanks thus publicly to the French officers for their marked attention The Fried- land, 120, bearing the fljg of Vice-Admiral Deschesnes, was well worthy in-pection. She is a magnificent ship, all her decks perfectly clear, and different from our own. They have only oue mess-piace, on the middle deck, abaft the two afW-guu«, which is the mess-room, and called the sail* d manger, no officer's cabin being there. All the officers' cajins are on the or lop deck right round the ship. Everything betokens great attention. The arms and all the gun gear bei lg in their proper place. No doubt everything was done ou the occasio < to mak- them as imposing as pos- sible, both in the eyes of the President and also of the visi- tOIF, especially the English.

The French officers were very particular in pointing out these magniticent cannon to us, who cou d not help remark- ing the superiority of this cla s of gun (84's) over our own. On going round ihe ditrercut decks of this splendid ship we saw a novel construction for raising the Run without the use of handspikes well worthy our imitation. Itconsifted apparently of a lever or screw, which steadily elevate! or depressed lite gun. which dury is performe,1 in our sertice hy two men or more, if necessary, by the aid of handspikes. In close Hctioit, nfLer great lost of life, the simple made of the Ficueh in this matter would certainly tell in their fa- vour, being enabled to elevate their suns easier, we perhaps not being "b!e to spare two mell per gun for that purpose, although the well-arranged plan of the Excellent in her fight- ing both sides has well tended to make it as nearly perfect as possible; but we hope this bint, which we have no- ticed in the French ships will not be lost upon some of the scientific officers of the H; ittsh navy whom we saw present at Cherbourg.

It is true they cannot cotne neir our ports of Portsmouth and Plymouth, but thtt until very lately tlu-y might hive do te, as the defences of the shores and arsenals of tlwse pla-es have but recently bee II erected; bat the rava-es they might commit, if so disposed, along the still undefended slures would be difficult to repair in the event of the attempt.

Oa Friday morning, at 9 o'clock, the President held a levee at the Admiralty-house, which wasattented by all classes, parttrultrly by the Engli-h present. Ho treated thom with the n'-e uest urbanity. We noticed severatof. fleers of the Rilij Br-gale and Line ill their full dress. Vice-Admiral Sir ThornCochrane andCipuin Rodney Mundy Hear-A Imtral Sir Charles Napier anu Captiin Hall (late of her Majestv's ship Dra;on). and Captain L. Junes (late of her Majesty's ship Penelope), were also presented. Sir Chtirh'S N ipiei looked remarkably well, ati.f was evi- dently looked upon as the lion of the party hy the French. The owner. of all the yachti) (amongst whom weie Earl Wilton, Ea l O.Uuey, fe-iri Card gan. and many other noVemen) werepre<e ited to the Ptesident. As an instance of the princely courtesy or the President and his desire to impress favourably the English visit ,rs, we may in lance a most plea -ing fac*:—Two gentlemen, owners of small yachts ia the Itiy.d Western Yacht Club, having arrived too late on Friday morning to be presented at the levee, an I being desirou* of paying their respects to the Presi ICllt, sent ill t'ir cards, in the hope oi beiiiT enabled t,) obtain a.) a 1 lie ice.

The steam factory is lar<re, aiiil no doubt could be nude a great deal of, but at present it is inactive. At 1 o'clock on Friday the troops were assembled in the square abreast of tbe Hotel, de Ville, comprising about 5 0(H) or 6,000 men. composed chiefly of the National Guard, 2Stii Regiment, some artillery, and a few cavalry. The Picsi- deutcame on the ground with a brilliant staff of military and nav d olli.vr-, and the beans of departments. He was receiveJ ov the bands playng the MarseLlaise, and the drums beating a 111 trcli; he rode along the line and was received very quietly. He acknowledged the complimeuts paid him by repeatedly bowing uneo»ered. After ibis the several officers and men were called out and decorated with the cross 01 the Legion of Honour this lasted but a short time. lie then left the ground with the usual honours. The troops then marched off to he different barracks. The town presented a very gay appearance. The yacht squadron of 60 sail were all dressed in their (liosauj sllr,la| colours, and every respect that could be paid was "howu by their owners to give effect to the review. At 3 n'clock a banquet was given in the model-room in the dock-yard, COO people sitting down to dinner, amongst whom were Ille principal yachtowners and the distinguished naval and military officers ol our service. Ou the heahh of the President being proposed, he point- edly remarked on the manner in which lie was received by the English, and appeared very much flattered by the compliment. He ruse from the banquet early, and drove out with his staff and some of the prirvipal officers through the Houlevards to a small seat in the co mtry, which around Cherbourg is most. picturesque and beautiful, well worthy the visit of tbe tourist.

Scotland 2,647 Ireland 0,853 Brandy is not so much drank by tbe lower orders,but the quantity consumed, in 1849, was 2,187,500 gallons; the first r wholesale cost of which was £ 540,875 Duty thereon 1,640,283 £ 2,187,157 Ihe value ot this brandy to the consumer will be about £ 3,281.250; which, added to the value of the other ardent spirits will amount to £ 24,091,458. The number of bushels of malt subjected to duty in 18-19 was 37,999,032; these, when worked up into the various forms of ale, porter, and table beer, would reach the value to the consumer of £ 25,383,165, Fold mainly, according to a ueturn to the House ot Commons by I?rewet s. 2,507 Victual leI Soo 88,49G Beer- I ioti 3S.:JiiJ In 1819 the duty on manufactured tobacco was p;iid o:i 27,480.(i21 ibs., and on snuff 205,006 lbs., yielding a revenue ol £ 4 408.171 the total value paid by consumers about Û 588,6"7. It will, therefore, appear that the people, and chiefly the working classes of England, Ireland, and Scotland, tax them- selves for the enjoyment of onlr three articles, neither of which is of absolute necessity, to the following amount:— I y Umish and Colonial Spirits £ 20,810,208 Brandy 3 281,230 Total of Spirits 24,031,458 Peer of all kinds, oxciu-ive of pri- '), vate families 25,353,165 Tobacco aud sl,ull 7,083 607 £ 57,0;M,lJ:o TIIp.

Everett, Dunn, and tiri(Kj.li, have amounted to £ 3,300; and each of lliofe gentlemen has been presented with a cheque for £ 1,100. At the recent delegate meeting in London, it w: s resolved that a like amount be raised for the Rev. S. Btomley; and notwithstanding that nearly half of the delegates had relumed home, bet ween £ (500 and £ 700, including £ 150 received from Bath, was obtained at the meeting. It is intended that this subscription list shall be closed on the 30th of the present mouth, and auy surplus will be placed to the credit of the reform club, or be disposed of as the committee n)i\rht think fit. Each of those rev. gentlemen have likewise been engaged to preach during the year at fixed salaries. The tille" ex- pelled" is also to be dropped, the pec:'le recognising them as Westeyan Methodist preachers.— File conference next year is to be held at Newcastle-upon-Tyne.— B, •isloi Examiner.
