DR. JAMES'S POWDER. THE celebrity vi this Medicine, and its unquestioned efficacy, is more than ever established, by the greatly hi creased introduction of it into the prescriptions of the most eminent Physicians at the present time. For the guidance of those persons who arc out of the reach of medical advice, each packet is inclosed with full directions for its use. In cases of Fever it will often ef fect a cure in a few hours, especially when freely given, and at the outset of the disease. It is administered with equal success in all attacks of Measles, St. Anthony's Fire, Sore Throat, Pleurisy, and Rheumatism ; but as Colds and Catarrhs partake more or less of inflammatory symptoms, this Powder is peculiarly efficacious in cutting short their duration, which, however harmless they may be thought, often terminate in Pulmonary Affections, the fatal conse cue:lces of which are but too well known. As an Alterative, in Chronic Diseases, it is an admirable remedy. Do. jA3IES'S PowoE continues to be prepared by Messrs.

Viscount CLIFDEN presented a Petition from the Freemasons of Wexford, against the Secret Societies' Act. lie next presented Petitions from the Separatists of I Amerith and Ennis, and also from the same sect residing at Cork, who prayed to be placed upon the same footing with the Moravians and Quakers. The Earl of LAUDERDALE gave notice, that he intended to move that their Lorelships should be summoned for the pur pose of taking into consideration their Standing Ord: Es with re spect to Joint Stock Companies. His object was that the Public should hereafter be secured in the formation of such Cempanies, either by Charters or by an Act of Parliament In onjunc:imi with the Royal Power, so that capital should be decidedly hroileht for ward. He was willing to ex.ept such Companies as should lie con stituted for the formation of apecitiets and canals, the building of bridges, and the creation or improvement cf ports and harbour.:; because, in such cases, the capital was not required to he all at once laid down. But in other cases, as an Equitable Lo:in Company nr a General Gas Light Company, he was of opinion that the capital ought always to he forthcoming. (Here the Noble Earl described the Resolutions he intended to submit to the Hutisi-). Ile would propose that all such Bills as he had last adverted to should, after they had been•read a first time, be referred to a Si_lect Committee to report thereon ; and the same regulation he proposed to apply to all Chartered Cwnpanie=. lie concluded by moving that their Lord ships should he summoned for to-morrow, which was agreed to. The Earl of DARLINGTON presented a Petition front the Town cif Wiuchelsea and its Liberties, in favour of the Camay Courts Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that as he understood the Re versals of Attainder, Bills which he had yesterday the honour to lay on the table of the !louse by his Majesty's most gracious com mand, were now printing, and would he ready for delivery within a proper time, he should move that they be read a second tiiue to.ntoreocy. The Newcastle Coals Carrying Bill, and the Eveshamlmprovement Bill, were read a third time, passed, and sent to the other House. OFFICE TESTS. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that in conse quence of what had transpired in the course of the de bate last night, he had alien to move for copies of the oaths now taken by the Officers of the Excise and Cus toms, and also of the exceptions which had lately been provided for no: taking such oaths which WC! e enacted by the memorable Act of Charles the Second. lle al luded to the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, which he understood had been for some time dispensed with in the offices he had mentioned. Ile should therefore move for an account of the oaths taken, or excused from being taken, since 182'2, pursuant to the Acts of the 12th and 15th of Charles 11. The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not rise to oppose the motion, but to explain how the question stood. By the Act of Charles the Second, cap. 23. it was required that all persons holding offices in the Excise should take the oaths of allegiance and supremacy. In the course of last year, when the consolidation of the Excise of the two countries, that is to say, England and lteland, took place, the provisions of the Act of Charles the Second had creased great alarm in Ireland, as, horn the ex change of Custom House Officers, it was considered a great hardship for the Irish who happened to be trans planted here, that they wete unable to take the oaths there prescribed. The consequence was that arrange ments were made between his Right Honourable Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Cominissioners of Customs, that certain oaths should for the time being be dispensed with, respecting persons so coining over to this country from Ireland. In point of tact, how ever, a new clause had been introduced to that effect into the Act of Indemnity which passed both houses thin year; but as this provision was not so sati.,factory as might be wished, he had given directions to prepare a specific Act, which he hoped in the course of a very low days to be able to lay on the table of the House. The Marquis of LANSDO\VN was not aware that an al:era:km had been introduced into the Act of la cier:init.. which passed this year. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, In explanation, observed, that there was no alteratian in the Act of Indemnity generally ; but a clause had certainly been introduced inderenifiag certain officers of the Excise in the event of their not taking the oaths in question up to the given time. Lord KING hoped that the measure now mentioned 1 by the Noble Eat 1 opposite MO been submitted to the Noble and Lear Lord on the Wn‘lsack, and that his sanction had been obtained to it. He formerly thought that wleniever a Bill was brought in by the. First Lord of the Treasury, or even when sanctioned by him, it was sure to pass that House; but after the experience of last night, he hardly knew what to think. It ap peared that the centre ;.:1 gravity, and the centre of sus pension could not always coincide. Ile remembered when a Noble and Learned Lord vaunted of a giant re-1 freshed in his strength ; nerhaps he had been refreshed by two victories, for tae same scene was acted over ' egeill. The most wily polirciae of termer times was Sall to assemble Parliameet by the stroke of his pen, acct to disperse it be the breath of his nostrils; so per haps tine Noble and Learned Lord upon tee Woolsack, who had got the Ministry together of a stroke of iris pen, might so thorn with the b:eatl rf his mouth. Viscount Cleil:DEN was (vim coavinced that the day was fist eperoachine when not only the appei r ie. meats to the Excise, and as Justices of the Peace, but els) the Bench and Privy Cenncil, must be given up to the rightful claims of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. They amounted, he believed. to a population of fAXX) in England and to 6,000.000 in Ireland. The' proposed inhabiting. the west rejection of the Bills se_ .ASt nicht was a direct insult to a very large exposed part of the empire ; but Ire word.? hot go with the suhject row, though the Corperation Test Act, and . the decantation that it required, were not only an insult to those taking and subscribing, but a mass of lien far he could call it nothing che. It treated his' ajesty's Roman Catholic subjects as persons who disregarded all oath c, aod were not to be believed upon their oaths; and yet their Lordships knew, and it was notoriously known lino. ii thing brit the repugnance of Roman Catholics to take certain oaths debatred them from ac cepting of no merote3 offices, and rising, as they were ,entatten to do by their loyalty nod bravery, in the social scale. Tare day would come. he must repeat it, when their Lordships would erase from the Statute Books the Acts row contended for, and when Catholics would be placed on the ,same footing as Protestants. \\*henever war again broke out, and war must come sooner or later, for the Holy Alliance was ci umbling into atoms, if the privileges they claimed were not c.:nceded to the tholics, the empire would be shaken to its fouudation. The Earl of DARNLEY thought that linistcts had not shown much respect to Parliament by endeavouring to smuggle a new clause, for their own purposes, into ,In Annual Act, passed as a matter of Inrin, without the least exarninatiun or sospicion. Ile hoped that in future their Lordships would be more careful in passing such Bilk as if they were matters of course. .• Lord HOLLAND could ;let help expressinglis sur prise, that the Noble Friends he had the pleasute to see around him had not detected the clause now first intro• duced in au Animal Act, though, perhaps, the unsus pecting confidence of his Noble Friends, even in Minis ter:, had not prepared them to expect such a miser able pap ; but he could not help expressing his •sur pi,e, that the Noble and Learned heads of the law, and religious heads of the Church, (and he could not help that not one of those heads were present), should nave omitted to notice so ominous a clause to both Chinch and State, and so surreptitiously introduced into die Indemnity Act, but not by any arch fiend—not by any oppugner of the doctrines cf the Established Church —not by any traitorous conspirator against Govern ment, but by whom ?—why, patticulatly by his Ma jesty's Ministers; and 'so introduced, he nots:7 presume, not without the knowledge, but wi:h the sancti'n of the Nohle and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. Ministers had done that covertly, f'.r which James the. Second was Expelled from-the throne of this countre, be icause he did the same thing openir. There were 'matters in policy that puzzled him extremely; when be looked at the whole state of the troose, it was as difficult to find what was the strength of the House as to decide the difference between soul and body.. Sometimes he had thought, when he looked to the No ble Earl opposite, thiit the strength of the House lay in the brains of the House; then again he had thought that the strength of the House lay in the benches of the opposite side ; then again it might be cenjectured . to lie in the_midd:e of the House; and at length the strength of the House might be traced to the stove of the House, which, by some improvement (and few improvements could suiprise their Lordships in the present age) might he empowered to count noses, which operation for any thing their Lordships saw, might be sufficient for the business of the House. All this, however, was difficult to be understood by his Noble Friends; it might be di verting, and probably it was so to some wicked people out of doors, but it could be no diversion to the Noble Earl oppOsite. Exercises in kicking might, for instance, be amusing . .to lookers-on, but then certainly it never could be an agreeable spectactelont to those who were so kicked, whether in the morning or the evening. What, however, to return to the question, had now become of the boasted oath (a . supremacy ? it had been evaded and disperned with, an.] therefore the result was ,plainly that their Lordships ought to place the whole le gislation on one footing. The present was a system of anomalies, and into such anomalies their Lordships must always fall when proCeeding in such matters with an unchristian feeling, and not laying the correcting axe to the corrupting root. What were they doing but saying, I am dressed up in a little brief authmity, I enjoy toy opinkins, and will shut out every man whoa dates to d.ffer with me? Was this at all language that befitted the dignity of their Lordships, or likely to satisfy :the people of this country ? Let his Majesty's Ministers pursue a plain, bold, and open course ; let there be no vacillation in matters of such moment; let them do one thing or the other; but let them do it decidedly, if ne cessary to be done, with credit to themselves, and satis faction to others. • The Eatl of LIVERPOOL said, that it appeared to him that the Noble Baron (Holland) had mistaken the question at issue. It bad been the unit rm practice of Parliament, fur a century past, to indetim:fy those per. sons who had abstained horn taking the Sacrament ac cording to the ritei of the Church ol Laigland l and cer tain oaths on the accep tance of official situations; but • it •happened, by some inadvertency, that whilst all other Acts were included in the annual Act of Indem nity, that of Chat les H. had been omitted.
