BRANDY and SALT ; a Remedy for various External and Internal Complaints , Discovered by William Lkb , Esq ., of i * Ferte Imbault , m France , in the year 1830 , containing Directions for making and applying the Remedy , with valuable extracts' from Mr . Lee ' s Pamphlet , and detailing numerous cases of cures performed by the use of the medicine in and near HulL By J . H . Vallajcce , 34 , Lowgate , Hull . Hull : William Kennedy , 26 , Lowgate , Oar readers will remember that some time ago we published in the Star a long address from Mr . Lee , relative to the almost miracnions curative powers of x composition of Brandy and Silt , We had . little
alia in tine nostrum , and only gave publicity to it on Sbe consideration that Mr . l * e was evidently disnaereBted yashe did not pretend to sell or profit by the medicine , but published the materials of which b was compounded , that people might get them , and "prepare it for themselves , while he asserted many Krprisisg things of its effects , uader bis own daervation . Seeing it thus divested of the usual daracteriBneB of mere quackery , we thought it best to publish the statements of Mr . Lee , that the public might jod ^ e for thenaelvea . Experience , the M 6 t test of merit in all such things ,-seems to confirm lUthit Mr . Lee has stated , and more , Mr . Vallance , tbe author-of the pamphlet now before us , having Mmself experienced benefit from it , has recommended it u > many others , . with almost uniform success :
uxragh the diseases have been various , and in some asanees attended with aggravating circumstances . E » list of cures in Hull and its neighbourhood , pren by Mr . Yallaoce , as effected by him in & comjwativel y short period , ( and we believe them to be au strictly correct ) is really a most startling aSair w the doctors , who are like enough , if this go on , to Sad their '' occupation" speedily with that of wadlo . We know several persons who have tried joe Brandy and Salt remedy , and who speak most topdy of its consequences . Mr . Yallance ' s pamphlet , grag full directions for the compounding of the teokdne , and for the proper application of it , both nten&U y and externally , to very many forms of raease is an almost necessary acquisition to those *™* ish either to make trial of its powers or to be Warmed respecting them .

REPUBLICAN APHORISMS .

scholarB , are without sustenance ! our wives are half clothed and starving !! our children naked . and dying for lack « f food !!! without a home , and textheut an honest alternative : let us turn as we will , let us seek as we may , nowhere in the abode of honest industry , can our eyes r « st npon aught Bave misery , starvation , and death , as the reward of never-ending toil , and anceasing industry ! Men , labourers , Christians , now long will yon delay your"jft » f , ' proclaiming to the world a determination to abolish for ever , this era of crime and misery , this damning system of aristocratic crown-craft ! Let your offspring tell , let the future denote .
Enrich yoar conscience with acts of justice and benevolence ; your mind from the storehouse ef truth and knowledge ; and your body by temperance and the practice of unalloyed morality . Insist nponyour rights when yoa conceire they are due ; if you neglect this duty , yon prepara the way for hardship and tyranny to yourself , and wrong to your children . Instil into the minds of your ofl&pring a pure and thorough , knowledge of what is right and what is wrong ;—priests tell you to leave that duty to them , heed them not , they are not Christians , remember , if you train np your ehildi-ea in ignorance of thiB duty , _» t your kanis will the penalty be exacted , and to yoa , and you alone , will the punishment be awarded for any dereliction in the performance ; see that you do it , leave it not to another to be done .
Old prejudices are the most difficultto combat with , and consequently are first entitled to our labour-ofimprovement ; if the object you have selected be ignorant , then your first duty is to supply him or her ( we maanna forget to dear woman ") with knowledge , if either are wefl informed j rcror task is then to be accomplished by the multiplicity of facte , whieh bear you out in your position , truth is ever welcome to intelligent honesty ; if you are opposed by die deceit of plausible humbug , waiggery , or any other class of tyrannic blackguardism , never for a moment condescend to adopt an untruth in your support , but let your exertions be wholly based on truth asd justice ; though y on may be baffled for a time , by the trickery of knaves , yet continue in vrell doing—time and trnt : i must triumph in the victory .
untainted purity of character and conduct alwayB receives , in the end , the merited reward to which it is so justly entitled , even enmity and envy will join for their own purposes , in the tribnte of applause , given to unflinching stern consistency ; so true it is , that there ia bo mental boon from heaven , no moral quality , bestowed by the Deity , to adorn the inward man , so impressive or admirable as unyielding honesty . Yearg , ia their perpetual circuit , are ever pointing ¦ out some great changs , some new object of gradual , but certain decay ; and still , though vre almost feel
the doom that awaitu all nature , yet we refuse all attempt at moral improvement , and reject the sincere endcavoura » f good men to promote our only durable existence as immortal beiog 3 ; preferring ill every act , an addition to mortal pleasure , instead of aiming at immortal enjoyment , pilfering the means , and trampling on the rights of our fellow creatures ; why do ye continue thus , ever adding , uel to the flame that . ultimately consume yourselves 1 Why wi ll ye not relent in your every day robbery and oppression ! Why do you seek to make another unhappy , and yourselves miserable ! Wby a * ye this ! Legislators , answer me . —Chartist Circular .

Esglasd Two Hctored Ykars Ago . —The following curious particulars as to tke state « f England in the seventeenth century , are collected from a little book called " Angha Rotatia : " — " The English are generally great flesh eaters , although by the nearness of the sea and abundance of rivers and fish ponds there is no want of fish . In former times their table w * s , in many places , covered four times a-day ; they had breakfasts , dinners , beverages , aud suppers , and everywhere set dinners and suppers , until the time of the late troubles ; wherein many eminent families being much impoverished , a custom was taken up by some of the nobility and gentry , of eating a more plentiful dinner , but no supper , a- < on the contrary the Romans and Jews anciently ,
and the hotter climates at this day , have little or no dinners , but set suppers . Feasting , also , is not so common and profuse as anciently . Anciently , at a call of Eergf ants-at-law , each sergeant ( gaith Fortescne ) spent 1 . 6 & 0 crowns in feasting , which in those days was more than 16 , 000 now . Since the late rebellion , England hath abounded in variety of drink 3 Us it did lately in variety of religions ) above any nation in Europe . Besides all sorts of the best wines from Spain , France , Italy , Germany , and Grecia , there are sold in London above twenty sorts of drinks , as brandy , coffee , chocolate , tea , aromatic , mam , cider , perry , beer , ale , many sorts of ales very different , as cock , Btepony , &c . ; apiece of wantonDefis whereof none of our ancestors were ever
gp . ilty . The ancient English vices were gluttony , pride in apparel , and excess of drinking . Some persons , and those of quality , may not be safely visited in an afternoon , without running the hazard of excessive drinking of healths j and in some places it ii esteemed an excellent piece of wit to make a man drunk ; for which purpose some swilling trencher buffoon is always at band . However , it may be truly affirmed , that at piesent there is generally less excess of drinking ( especially about LondoH since the use of coffee , &c ) than heretofore . Hoases in cities , that were made formerl y usually of wood , are now built of good stone or brick , and covered with slate or tile ; the rooms within , formerly wainscotted , were then hung with tapestry t or other
convenient stun ; and all coiled with plaster , excellent aeainst the rage of fire , against the cold , and to hinder the passage of all dust and noise . The modern buildings were far more slight and of less continuance than the ancient . The houses of the nobles and rich were abundantly furnished with pewter , brass , fine linen and plate ; the mean mechanics and ordinary husbandmen wanted not silver spoons or some silver cups in their houses . The windows everywhere glanced , not made of paper or wood as is usual in Italy and Spain . Chimneys in most places , and no stores , although the far more Bouthern parts of Germasy could hardly subsist in the winter without them . Anciefltly , the fee expected by a sergeant from his client , for advice given at his chamber , or
for pleading in aDy court of judicature , was no more than 20 s ., and tbu fee of a barrister 10 s . ; but at present it has become almost ordinary to give some sergeants £ 10 and others £ " 20 , and to a barrister half as much as the ht ariDg of any considerable cau&e ; whereoy it comes to pass that gome JawyerB in one year gain in fees £ 3 , 000 , and some £ 4 , 000 ; and in a lewjears purchase estates fit for lords , and sometimes live to see themselves advanced to be peers of the realm . Anciently , the usual fee ol a doctor of physic was 20 s and one that had not taken that degree 10 s . ; at present there is no certain rule , but some that are eminent have received in fees veariy £ -2 , 004 > # r . £ 3 , 000 , and purchased great estates , which ia Oiliercftantriee is very rare .

The Influence and Llud ^ jbue Cockaqb of Mo-ZART .-The great Mozart , whose ? Giovanni" and other splendid musical works have obtained for him and immortality , was once upon a visit At Marseilles , when he went to tbe opera , ' mcomita , to hear the performance of his ** Villanello iUpita . " He had reason to be tolerably well satisfied till , in the midst of one of the principal atiat , the orchestra , through seme error in the copying of the score ! sounded D natural where the composer had written U sharp . This substitution d \ & not injure the harmony , hot gave a common place ' character to the ? nrase , and obsoared the entimeiifr * f'the composer lozart no sooner heard it than he started up Vehemently , and . from the middle ef the pit , cried out m a voice o / thunder , « Wm you pUy ^ shar ? , . you wretches V ( Votdez voita attaguerde re &ex , canailleij Tbe sensation produced in the theatre may be unarmed : the actors were , astounded ! tKa

He was accordingly seized , and required to name himself : he did so , and at the name of Mozart the clamour suddenly subsided into a Bilence of respectful awe , which was succeeded by reiterated shouts of applauBe from all sides . It . was insisted that the opera should be recommenced : and Mozart was installed in the orchestra , and directed the whole performance . We may be sure that this time the D sharp was played in its proper -place , and the musicians themselves were astonished at the superior effect it produoed . After th © opera Mozart was conducted in triumph to his hotel , whioh for several days overflowed with persons anxious to pay their compliments to the great-master .
Maubeas and tub Chorus Sbcqek . ^ Towards the close of one of the seaeoos of the Parisians opera , a young female , one of the cherus-Bingers , formec an engagement at the opera in London . According to the termsof her engagement , she was to commence her duty in London on a certain night ; but she found herself unable to quit Paris , for want of money to pay her travelling expenses . As soon as these circumstances reached the ears of Madame Malibran she immediately offered to sing at the concert wkich ' some persona were exerting themselves to get up for the benefit of the poor chorus-singer . It may readily be conceived that the announcement of Madame Malibran s name in the bills was a powerful attractionand
; accordingl y tbe concert-room waB crowded to excess . At the hour fixed for the commencement of the concert Madame Malibran had not arrived , and the fear of a disappointment began to create uneasiness . When the performances were nearly halfover , Madame Malibran presented herself , and stepping up to the young chorus-singer , she said in a whisper , "I am rather late , my dear , but the audience shall lose nothing , for I will sing all the pieces set down for me .

THE EASTERN QUESTION . The London journals of Monday contain interesting details respecting the Eastern Question . The toilowing a-. e extracts : — CFrom the Chronicle—Ministerial . ) We have received letters from our own correspondent at Alexandria to tbe 7 ih . A letter of the 5 th has gone a 3 tray , and we the more regret it as it must have given details respecting the proposals of the Pacha to Rifaat Bey , and the circumstances of the interviews .
From our letter of the 7 th , it appears that the Consuls were leaving Alexandria . Colonel Hod ge * was to go on board the Cyclops ; and it is but natural to expect that some blow will be strHck against the Pacha , at least on the coast of Syria , the Consuls considering the proposals to Rifaai Bey as no answer to his summens , and merely aE a subterfup to gain time . Admiral Stopford had sailed for Syria , leaving only two vessels before Alexandria . On the morning of the 6 th , the Consuls had proceeded to the Pacha to receive his answer to the treaty , the second ten days having expired .
Mehemet refused to receive them on the pita of indisposition . Bnt Samy and Boghos Beys received them , and declared that his Highness had given his answer to Rifaat Boy . This occasioned some altercation . The Egyptian Minister offered copies » f the Pacha ' s answer , declaring that it was to the Siltan , not to them , that he was bound to reply . Ibrahim Pacha was at Balbec , having broken up his camp at Marasch . He had declared Syria in a state of siege . Commodore Napier had declared the entire coast bloakaded . The latest news from Beyrout was of the 30 th .
Solyman Pact a has published a proclamation against any persons who may introduce seditions writings into Syria , declaring that they shall be punished with death . Letters from Alexandria also give details of the interviews of the 22 nd . when Mehemet summoned the Consul * , and told them of tbe offer he had made to Rifaat Bey . They asked , in reply , if the Tirkish fleet would not be restored . But the Paoba 6 aid he must wait the reply of the Sultan . The Paoka is taking every means of defence , aud planting casnon . The ConsulB had drawn up a protest against Eifaat Bey aud his conduct in accepting or suggesting Buch vain propoFals as those made by Mehemet . He must have been bought .
( From the Times . ) We have received Malta papers of the 15 th inst ., bringing advices from Alexandria of the < itte Of the 7 th . These accounts 6 tate that the Viceroy of Egypt , after notifying his propositions to Rifaat Bey and to the Consuls of the Four Powers , addressed a letter to the Sultan couched in most respectful language , communicating the propositions to him . It issailtnat he had also made a formal demand for the nediation of France . The blockade of Alexandria wasmot declartd up to the 6 th inst ., but these accounts state that it did in fact exist to the extent of preventing vessels of war from leaving the port .
Letters from 1 Beyrout state , that notwithstanding Commodore Napier's proclamations , and all the means tried to excite insurrection there , the greatest tranquillity prevailed . Some accounts state that no fresh demonstration of hostility had been made by the English force against Syria , while others mention a report of the issue of a new proclamation by Commodore Napier , declaring all the ports of Syria in a state of blockade . Soliman Bey had , in consequence of Commodore Napier ' s proclamation , deemed it right to dsclare Syria in a state of siege . All offences , by vaomsoever committed , whether by natives or foreigners , are to be subjected to the cognisance of a military tribunal and punished by death . Th « district is placed under the entire controu ! of the military .
These accounts state , as a report , that a « urier had arrived at Alexandria from Cairo , bringing the intelligence that the English had taken possesaon of Mocha , and that since the departure of the Egrptian troops the whole of that part of Arabia wasli open insurrection . The European residents had bepn ill . treated , and the English agent had applied to Aden for assistance . j Our pi ivate advices from Alexandria come down to the 6 th inst . On the 27 th ult ., Menemei Ali called together a council of the Ministers , Beys , and Sheiks of several Arab tribes , to whom he
submitted the propositions of the four Powers , together , it was believed , with a letter from Ibrahim Pasha , who offered to renounce in his own right the hereditary possession of Syria . The assembly apfioved of these terms , and on the following day the Vieeroy having summoned the four Consuls to -his palace ' declared to them that he would content bim&elj with Egypt and Acre , and restore the fleet to the Sultas , provided he was permitted to hold tii Government of Syria during his life . The Censuls replied , tbat they had no power to interfere with or mollify the conditions of ( be alimuUum , and tha .

L tfnke their flags , and r « mov » on board the squadrons , but down to the 6 th they had not yet taken that step : Admiral Stopford eailod on the morning of the 8 th for Beyrout , * ith . the Princess Charlotte and Bellerophon , leaving the Asia and Implaca ble before Alexandria ; '
Advices from Constantinople of the date of the 7 th inBtant Btate , that notwithstanding Mehemet All ' s refusal to deliver up Syria and Candia , the Turkish Government had nominated Pashas charged with the government of the various cities in those two districts . A great council was held on the 3 rd inst . at the Sheik-ill-Islam , in oon 86 quenoe of the intelligence having arrived that Mehemet Ali having refused on the first summons to accept the' conditions offered him by the treaty of London , Mehemet Ali was accordingly declared to have forfeited the government of Syria . The / e < w excommunicating Mehemet
Alideclar-, ing that he has forfeited his right to the Government of Syria , and authorising war to be declared against hi « j , was given by the Sheik-ul-Ielam , and read in * 1 V the mosques . This document , containing th « reasons which induced the Sultan / to take this extreme proceeding with regard to the Viceroy of Egypt , oad produoed a great excitement in all qnarters . The Austrian Internuncio has assembled the principal Austrian merchants at his house to advise them to suspend their shipments for Egypt and Syria , as both these countries would be Bhortiy blockaded .
The French Government had , according to some accounts , sent orders to their Admiral to avoid , as far as possibla , a collision with the English fleet . The French fleet , under the command of Admiral Hugon , had been seen in the neighbourhood of Cerigo , and the twelve vessels , of which it COnskted , were said to be bound in Syria * The Russian fleet was waiting at Sebastopol for orders to put to sea . H -consisted of thirteen sail of the line , eight frigates , four brigs , and five steamers , and 20 , 000 men , detached from the army of Bessarabia
, were to embark in it for Constantinople . Tke Rusian Government had sent agents into the Dardanelles , to obtain and forward to Odessa the earliest information respecting the movements ef the squadron in the Mediterranean . RiBa Pasha , Grand Mwahal of the Imperial Palaoe , and Commander-in-Chief of the Guard , had ordered that Prussian officers alone should hereafter be employed in tho Turkish artillery . The French had accordingly retired , and it was believed that their example would be shortly followed by their comrade who served in other corps of the army .

In his distress he went to the library , aud showed his broken violin to Mr Roes , talking whh great energy in Frenoh to him . Mr . Hem tried to get rid of himbut could notand

Larabit , a deputy of tbe ^ extreme gauche . " the president of the fete , proposed ^ toast to the Old Tricolourcd Flag of France , the glorious emblem of 1789 and 1830 , " which he prefaced by a speech in which he insisted on the necessity of reformingthe institutions of the country and preventing privileges from again taking root in h « boU . He then condemned , in energetic terms , the system pursued by the Government darine the
iast ten years , which he pronounced to be hereafter impracticable . "Thatsystem , " he said , "is an object of mockery to foreigners ; after so many concessions on our part , their demands and disdain appear to iave exceeded all boundB . Let the Government do its duty , and it will find us ready to unite and rally round the triooloured flsg . If the cannon of a new Holy Alliance tear the treaties of 1815 , France will accept the challenge , aud again plant her banners on the Rhine , and call nations to liberty .

ATTKMPrED Assassination . —On Saturday morning last , upon the arrival of the mail train at the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway , » considerable excitement was created by two persons of highly respectable appearance deairinir the
ennductor immediately on their alighting upon the platform to open the door of one of the first-class carriages , Which , they asserted , contained a man who had # hot at and wounded his uncle , a wealthy gentleman , residing at Dorchester , in Oxfordshire . The request was speedily complied with , and , on the suspected person leaving the vehicle with the rest of the passengers , he , was rushed upon by hia two pursuers , who held him until the arrival of some constables , when a severe and desperate struggle ensued . The accused was overpowered and pro * perly secured , and upon his being searched by Collard , the chief officer of the company ' s police , there were found in his possession two horn pistols heavily loaded with powder and ball , a sword stick .
and about thirty shillings in gold and ' silver . Collard explained to him the na t ure of the charge preferred , and . after cautioning him with regard to anything which he might then state being hereafter used as evidence against him , he , in a few words , asserted his entire innocence . He was handcuffed , and shor tly afterwards conveyed away in custody . Thn facts of the attempted assassination are these : The prisoner , whose name is William Davey , and whose appearance is that of a military officer , has , since attaining his majority ( he is now only 23 years of age ) , squandered away a good fortune , and has constantly been living at a large and fashionable hotel in the vicinity of Bond-street . About a fortnight back he arrived at Dorchester
, and , after importuning his uncle , Mr . John Davey , for money , the latter presented him with £ 40 , at the same time giving him Borne good advice as to his future conduct . On Friday evening last , between eight and nine o ' clock , aa the uncle alluded to , who is a guardian of the poor of his parish , was returning to his house through his own garden , having attended a vestry meeting at a short distance off , he heard a noise which he imagined to be the explosion of a percussion cap , and almost at the Bame moment a pistol , or Borne other description of fire-arms , waa discharged at him , and some hard substance struck with great force against his breast . He was not wounded , although severely
bruised , but had he been walking with his face towards alarge laurel tree , behind which his intended assassin was , to the best of his belief , concealed , he would in all probability have been lolled upon the spot , In a state of great fright , and imagining at the moment that hi had received some serious injury , he ran in doors , ' crying ** Murder , help , " and on the ciroomstanoes being detailed by him to his brother and a neighbour , the most diligent inquiry waa { Prom ptly instituted by them , from which they earned that a person answering the description of the prisoner had on th # same evening been seen to come from the direction of bia uqoIo ' b premises . Suspecting that he would make his way up to London by the railway , Mr . Davey ' s brother and his friend went in parsnit , tnd on their arrival at Reading found him m the act of stepping ? into one of tbe
first class carriages , his boots and trousers indicating by their dirty condition that he had walked many miles . Deeming it prudent not to capture him then , owing to the confusion and bustle that prevailed , they took their seats in another carriage , and on reaching Paddington gave the prisoner into custody , as previously stated . Collard conveyed him away by the next down train , and on * the game evening he underwent an examination upon the charge of " shooting at with intent to kill" before Mr . Ashford ( chairman of the Oxford Quarter Sessions ) , at the residence of the intended victim ; and after an inquiry which lasted several hours he was remanded till Saturday ( this day ) . At ten o ' clock on the same night Collard lodged him in Oxford Castle gaol . The prisoner is heir at law to the uncle , at whose decease he would be entitled to a rery considerable proporty .
