The last accounts received of the Princess of Wales, state that her Royal Highness had no intention of re turning to England, having• determined to visit, early in the Spring, all the Greek Isles in the Archipelago. On Monday Lady Wilson had the honour of being admitted to a private audience of the Prince Regent. Ills Royal Highness received her ladyship's petition with the most gra ions condescension and respect toward her feelitios After a short inter►iew, Lady Wilson departed frem the Pavilhm with apparent melancholy dejection.

On Tuesday night Miss O'NEILL repeated her perthrmance of Lady Teazle with increased effect. At her first appearance in this arduous character on the preceding Saturday, it is acknowledged, that she fidt a more considerable degree of alarm, titan even when she first appeared on the London Boards. Through the various range of her tragic characters, her power gradually un foldtxl themselves, and she soon shone as the High Priestess in the temple of Melpomene. Having attained to this pre-eminent station, she felt, perhaps, some groundless alarm for her reception in the gayer assembly of Thalia ; although conscious of the innate three of her genius, she could not utterly subdue her fears during the whole of the perthrmance of the difficult part which she had chosen; but on Tuesday evening, encouraged by the applause which she had received on the preceding Saturday, she laid aside her apprehensions, and became the Lady Teazle of the author's own imagination ; her exertions were universally extolled, and called thrth from a crowded and admiring audience the warmest plaudits. KING'S THEATRE. La (Yemenla di nu was performed at this Theatre on Tuesday evening, in which Madame FODOR made her first appearance since her late indisposition. Ihr per timmance was received with that approbation which her talents so justly merit, and in several of her songs, she was rapturously encored. BRAHMA was in fine voice, and acquitted him self with his usual excellence. The favourite Divertiscment of Les Petits Braeconiers was repeated by particular desire, which, with Leon's New Ballet of Lr Pathe de Chasse &Henri Quartre ex cited the wannest applause, from one of the most fashion able houses which we have witnessed this season. In justice we must add, that the various departments of this Theatre appear to he most respectably filled, and reflect no small degree of credit on the Proprietor and Managers. CITY BU.S'INESS. On Friday a Common Council was held at Guildhall for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the Property 'Pax, the Standing Army, and recommending Economy in every Branch of the Expenditure. :11r. Waitliman opened the proceedings, and, after a very luminous speech. moved a suing of Resolutions congratulating the Country on the Abolition of the Income Tax ; expressive of their abhorrence of the enormous Peaoe Establishment, and recommending Retrenchment. _ . hlr. !Winstead seconded the Resolution. After some discussion the debate was adjourned to Satur day, s lien the Court again assembled. The Resolutions has in been read, Mr. Waithinan said, he would not repeat the arguments whit:, he had urged ou the preceding day in favour of their adoption, but simply move that they ►hould he agreed to. Mr. Dixon said, there was an entire new set of Resolutions to be proposed. Mr. Davis raid, as there were some verbal amendments to which the lion. Moser had no objection, he trusted he would propose them himself. Mr. Waldman was indifferent as to what form the resolu tions assumed, he mould not but object however to the personal obstructions which had been tin own in his way by gentlemen on the other side; they were unbearah:e. Dixon—" You must bear them." Here i3metliitig otrimive it AA Said in an tinder brcathm Melo induced both gentlemen to ritql toward each other, evidently with intent to conic to close contest. Several niembi rs of the. Court biterfered, however ; strangers were ordered to ithdraw, and during their absence the mat ter was adjusted. (hi strangers being re-admitted„ Mr. Brown objected to the langua;:e of the resolutions as disrespectfill and discreditable to that Court. He then moved an amendment, leaving out all the strong points. Some discussion took place on this amendment, in the course of which, however, nu new argument was adduced. In the end, Mr. Waithman consented to some trilling verbal altera tions in his resolutions, and they were agreed to oy a very large majority of the members present. Petitions were then proposed and agreed to, founded on these resolutions, after which the Court adjourned. RECENT SHOCK Van E.IRTHQUAKE.

Af ATI CIT VS. CURE OF RIII.UNIM ISM. IN my last paper, I promised to communicate a suc cessful method of curing rheutnatian, which might be adopted without danger, if any patient can persevere in the voluntary infliction of pain necessary in the early stages of the proceedure. The lute heavy rains and con sequent diffusion of moisture being unfavoumble to the spontaneous cessation of the complaint, static, among my numerous readers, may perhaps be inclined to put the plan into execution. The recital is as follows : " I usu ally proceed to my sweating walks in the fiillowing man ner :—Next to my skin I wear stockings, drawers, and a shirt, all of fleecy hosiery : over these I put one, two, or three pair of flannel drawers; one, two, or three flannel waistcoats ; and npund my hips and loins, I gird six yards of thick flannel, making, besides the drawers and waist coats, eight thicknesses of fennel on the chief seat of 1 air, and the origin of the sciatic nerve. Over all this I wear warm pantaloons and a great coat. When I have walked one or two miles, more or less, according to the heat of the day, lam generally in a prothse perspiration. I re turn home, take off my wet clothes, have a couple of changes of well aired flannel, and then lie down tpon a bed not warmed. I use no means to excite further per spiration after the muscular action is over ; but, on the contrary, rather incline to check it as speedily as 1 can, taking particular care, however, to avoid catching cold. I do not perceive, that the quantity I perspire, has any influence on the efficacy of the remedy. 1 imagine that a violent action produced in the general system is the chief cause of its salutary effect. In consequence of this opinion, I cease the exercise the moment that a very in creased action is well established. This is filly produced, with the above quantity of clothing, in moderately warm weather, by walking from one to two miles. For ratients who are very much disabled, the quantity of clothing might be increased, and the distance diminisi!ed. When the excitement is well established, I find my pulse rise to between 90 and 100, and it is full and strong. When I began to experience relief from this mode of treatment, I was eager to prosecute the cure, and took my walks every second ;lay. Being now relieved, I resume them only every flairth, fifth, or sixth day, as most convenient. I do not find myself under the necessity of any particular precaution, as to avoiding cold the day I exercise ; and in this respect, sweating by muscular action has an immense advantage over warm baths, vapour, or heated air ; par ticularly in a climate so damp us that of an island situated in the north seas must Le. Physiology will easily point out many other advantages, in exciting perspintion by a stimulus which invigorates, rather than by the enervating methods of heated air er water. Since beginning this process, I do not find that I am grown thin ; and in my general health, lam infinitely better. I feel mvself more strong and active, and less sensible of cold. /4by diet has been much as usual, but my appetite rather increased. I have occasionally taken a little bark to maintain the ge neral tone of the system ; and, on returning home, after each walk, I have found that a few drops of bartshorn in water were refreshing, and prevented thirst during the rest of the day." In the French armies, during the Government of Lino naparte, it was strictly enjoined, and the rule appears to have been rigidly enforced, that no person should be ex cused the service on account of any rheumatic affection, however severe. An opinim seems to have been Enter tained by that General, that nothing is more easily coun terfeited than rheumatism, it being impossible to discover, by external examination, the degree ef pain a person feels. Whilst he thus prevented the attempted evaslon of duty, he justified the proceeding, by stating, that, ad mitting the existence of pain to be real, the motions of the affected limbs, thus performed by force, were often times effectual in alleviating, or removing the complaint. Certain it is, that after the active state of the disease l,•as subsided, the occasional motion of the stiffined limbs will expedite the recovery of their perfect use ; but sew per s9na have resolution enough to encounter the pain gene rally attending such an etlbrt. This pain, however, is said to be much alleviated, and the cure greatly hastened, by enveloping the affected limb in an extensive covering of flannel, by way of bandage or roller. A physician of much experience, (Dr. 13Ateoc•a, of Edinburgh,) pro fesses to have made several cures by this mciais ; limbs which were before stiff and motionless, have, by being lxmnd up with a flannel roller, become easy and suscep tible of motion, soon after the application of the bandage, which, at first, is to be adjusted aminling to the feelings of the patient, and to be tightened as the cure aulvances. In the early ages of medicine, before it had yet assumed the form of a distinct science, notices of cures obtained by individuals, and a descriptiun of the method employed, were hung up in the temples of the (hids, tier the intor mution of future sufferers. The mass of facts thus re cordixl, allizthsl ample materials fi,r investigation by the scientific enquirer, and laid u broad foundation for the de duction of general principles. Even in the present tu'. vunced state of medical science, a similar plan ini;;ltt have its advantages. Unusual accidental occurrences or insu lated facts, communicated to the MoznToa, might become
