ASTONISHING CURE. Nantwich, Oct. 1, 1813. PARTICTiLARS of the extraordinary Cure per formed on Mary Cooper, who was cured by Mr. LI G NUM% ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS, after she had been under several Medical Men, and ten weeks in the Cheater Infirmary, without receiving any benefit. Maar Cixiria, of Nantwich, hereby certifies, that for several months she was very greatly afflicted with a most violent Scorbutic eruption all over her body; that when attacked, she was in the service of a Gentleman in the county of Chester, and first attended by the family Surgeon, and afterwards removed to the Chester In firmary, where she remained ten weeks, without receiving the Beast benefit; on her return to Nantwich, she was recommended by a Lay mho had witnessed the beneficial effects of Mr. Lig autu's Antiscorbutic Drops, to give them a trial ; and extraordinary as it may appear, she obtained from their use immediate relief, and when she bad taken a few bottles was perfectly cured, and is now do very good health, and quite free from eruption.

FOR Twenty Years have Messrs. GOSS and Co.been successfully distinguished in the several classes of Pathology to which they have directed their attention, and their numberless Patients absolved from pain and woe, would, in common gratitude, bear testimony to their treatment, but that the restored sufferer, in proclaiming its merits, must publish his abjured errors, and expose himself to " The world's loud laugh, Which scarce the firm Philosopher can scorn." It is the consciousness of this, which emboldens the literary quack, the Patientless self.clubbed Physician, the hireling scribbling as sassin " et id puma omne" to stigmatise the excellence he dreads, and aim at the degradation of Practitioners who have been guilty of success under the most appalling circumstances of discourage ment. Yet, do GOSS and Co. keep their own counsel, and in pre serving inviolate the secret of their confiding Patient, are content " to do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame," despising the attacks of " hungry" libellous Pretenders, will boldly pursue their course, and invite the afflicted to partake the advantages of their system. The youth who has enervated his frame by the strangely fascinating sin, which the•poor victim of folly will too readily com prehend without further description, may find relief from his mi sery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost piece in the scale of creation. The sufferer, who, from another extreme of indulgence has with unbashful forehead wooed debility, may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused constitution. The man of pleasure, exposed to and suffering from Lues Venerea, however aggravated by malpractice of the Quack, or the concealment from diffidence, may find a certain restoration; and finally, in cases where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to despair, they offer to the married female those hopes which she can reasonably appreciate.

A female servant of the late Captain and Mrs. Gardener has been this morning examined by the Sormiroz-Gzezeax, to prove that a child (who is apprehended to be one of the claimants) was not the child oc Captain Gardener, but of a hlr Jadis.- 1 The witness proved repeated acts of adultery committed in the Captain's absence, in Portugal-street, May-fair, Conduit -street, and South Audley-street, and her delivery after her husband's return, in - his own house, without his knowledge. The child was immediately taken away to a house in the west end of the town, and subsequently to Mr. Bailey's, in Aldersgate-street. She proved further intimacies between Mr. Jadis and Mrs. Gardener after her delivery, and Mrs. Gardener had declared the child to be Mr; Jadis's, who had received and caressed bins accordingly. Mr:TINDAL was about to cross-examine the witness, when it being twelve o'clock, and other business fixed for that hour, this case was adjourned to Monday. Earl ROCHFORD presented Petitions from the Land-owners of several Hundreds in the County of Suffolk, against any altera tion in the. Corn Laws.—Laid on the table. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a Petition from Tho mas Daze, an Officer of the Court of Exchequer, praying for com pensation in case of the passing of the County Courts Bill.—Laid on the table. Mr. Joni:son, from the Office of the Chief Secretary for Ireland. presented the Sixth Report of the Commissioners on Irish Fisheries. Laid on the table. Mr. LUSUINOTOS ' Mr. Br.acesuaus, and others, brought up from the Commons the Scottish Judges Salaries I3ill,the Juries and Jurors Regulation Bill, the Glasgow Improvement Bill, and a great num ber of Private Bills, which were read a first time. The Excise and Customs Assimilation Bill went through a Com mittee and was reported. BURIALS IN IRPLAND. Earl RADNOR, after the Order of the Day had been read, went into the history of the Bill passed last Session for the regula tion of Burials in Ireland, and contended that it gave protection to all heresies whatsoever. It allowed all sects to libel in its own Church-yards the tenets of the Church of England, and authorised the dissemination of an unequalled mass of impiety and blasphemy. He should therefore propose to alter and repeal some of its provl siOns, and to that erect should introduce to their Lordships a Bill for regulating interments in Ireland in a more decent and or derly manner. The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not give his consent to the Bill proposed by the Noble Earb lie admitted that the subject had been deemed an embarrassing one at the time when Parliament le gislated upon it, but the deepest attention had been paid to it by all parties. The consequence of the measure ha I been, that-Ireland remained perfectly quiet to the present moment. Would it there. fore be proper to disturb it? The Bill tad pleased at its oriel neither extremes of both parties: to him, however, it appeared a mast happy compromise between both. What was better than the Bill itself, it had been well received, and was acting well. On these grounds he should oppose the Bill presented by the Noble Earl on its second reading, and its being printed this night. Lord REDF.S DA LE advised the Noble Earl to withdraw hisßill. Earl RADNOR, however, persisted, and after the Bill bad been read a first time, moved that it be printed. The House then divided, Content . . . 1 Not-Contents . 51 7 , Majority against the Bill • --30 Earl FALMOUTH presented a Petition from the Parish of St, Andrew's, Holborn, in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill.—Laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. T. WILSON presented a Petition from the Master, Wardens, &c. of the Cordwainers Company of the City of London, praying a revision of the Combination Laws.—Referred to the Committee on the said Laws. OIL GAS BILL. • Mr. S. WHITBREAD brought up the Report of the Westmin ster Oil Gas Bill, stating that the allegations of the preamble of the Bill bad not been proved in the Committee. The same Honourable Member rose to present a Petition relative to the 'said Bilk The Hon. Member proceeded to state that no Members bad attended in the Committee to hear the evidence, air though on the last day the Bill was lost by a majority of 28 to 15. Mr. T. WILSON should only reply to the observa tions of the Hon. Gentleman, that the evidence of the Committee having been printed, the Members were as competent to vote as if tbeybad dailygiven their attendance. For his own part, although he held ISO shares in th e un d erta ki ng , h e h a d voted against the Bill. from a conviction that it ought not to pass. Mr. W. SM IT H supported the prayer of the Petition. TREMAYNE wished some Honourable Member of weight and influence in the House would turn his attention to the subject collaterally introduced by the preseit Petition—the conduct of Committees up stairs. Mr. CALCRAFT agreed that something should be done, but considered it a case of difficulty, for on almost every question brought before the House, Honourable Members came down and voted, without having heard its merits discussed. If, however, a Special Committee were in the first place nominated by ballot to judge of the measure, and none others allowed subsequently to vote, much of the grievance would be redressed. He would also say that the conduct of Private Com mittees this year had given great dissatisfaction to the Public. Mt. SYKES complained, that alter two years spent crnsideration of this Bill, Gentlemen should, on the lea day which the Committee sat, have come down and thrown it out. lie denied the analogy alluded to by the Mon. Member for Wareham (Mr. Calcraft), between the public and private proceed ings of the House. Mr. LIT I'LETON thought it a matter so scandalous, that after parties had perhaps gone to 3,000 expense in bringing up witnesses and in other proceedings, Members should, fur the first time, eater the Committee room, and defeat the measure, that he cou ld not trust himself to express his opinion of it. Mr. TItA NT reprobated the existing practice of Private Com mittees, and declared his determination not. to attend aby of those Committees in future, till some reform in the mode of conducting them was i n troduced. Mr. J. P. GRANT could not help observing, that a sin g le ;Re: tattoo of the Hon. Member behind. _ (Mr. S.Whitbread) had not been* denied. He certainly thought such Members ailiad not at. tended Committees ought not to vote. Mr. RICK FORD defended the canduct of the Committee. Mr. BRIGHT was most anxious that some Hon. Member should move for a Committee to enquire into the practice of pri vate Committees up stairs, for it was unquestionable that they had d Me given great dissatisfaction to the*Pulalic. The Petition was then read.—On the motion that the Petition be printed. • Mr. S. WHITBRE A D said, he bad mentioned this subject solely no public-pounds, and begged to give notice that if the Hon. Mein. her fur Westminster (Mr. Hobhouse) should - hot persist in bring. leg the abuses complained of distinctly before the House, he (Mr. W.) should himself submit a motion this Session, with a view of having the evil remedied. Mr. Alderman WOOD brought up the Report of the London Portable Gas Bill, which was received, and the amendments co:- dered to be engrossed. Sir A. CHICHESTER presented a Petition front the Cotton Spinners of Belfast, against the Bill for regulating the hours of labour in manufactories. Sir GEORGE HILL presented a Petition from the bier:tants sad Manufacturers of Belfast, in favour of the Irish Manufacturers' Mr.aZßill. URTEIS presented a Petition from the Sawyers of atightou relative to the Combination Laws. Mr. J. CALCRA FT presented a Petition from the Journey. men Fishmongers of London, against permitting the sale of Mac karel on- Sundays. Sir R. WILSON opposed the Petition. Mr. W. SM ITH supported the Petition. Mr. C. WILSON hoped the House would agree to the Mo tion, for leave to bring in a Bill corresponding with the prayet of the Petition., Sir M. W. RIDLEY said that the law was not now compul- • sory, and merely allowed such as chose to sell this description of fish on Sunday. Mr. Alderman HEYG ATE presented a Petition from the Saw. yers of London, against the renewal of the Combiuition Laws. Mr. BYNG presented a Petition from Battersea, tot a repeal 411 the House and Window Taz. LAW BETWIDIN PARRCHANT AND FACTOR. Mr. J. SMITH had a Petition to present from the Merchants of London, praying a regulation of the law betueen Merchant and Etctor. Some time ago he bad brought in a Hill to modify this law. but in another place it was so alzered ato leave the gr'evarce unmitigated. The Hon. Member proceeded to support the Petieo i, but from the continued noise is the House,it was impossible to est& the exact tenour of his . Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW supported the prayer of the Peti tion, as did also Mr. T. WILSON, who expressed his conviction, that it embo died the sentiments not only of the Merchants of London, but of those of the - whole country. Mr. HUSKISSON said, it seemed to be allowed that this was not a convenient time to discuss the subject, although he was not sorry that the question had been • introduced. We understood the Right Hon. Gentleman to add, that as a measure embracing the object of the Petition was likely to come from the other Home of Parliament, an opportunity would then be afforded by entering on the discussion. Mr. SCARLET!' should be most anxious tn. remove existing evils, but remarked that to this day a former Bill on the subject lad not been perfectly understood even by the Judges. &r-R. WILSON moved for returns of the quantity and value of lleasbasins and Norwich Crapes exported from London and Liver pool for the last three years. Sir H. PARNELL presented a Petition from the •Dibene of Kiiialoe respecting the Tithes Bill. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a -Petition from Richard Bell, of Tully Allan, in the County of Tyrone, respecting the Irish Grand Jury Bill.—Referred to the Committee above stairs, on the &ate of Ireland Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition front Mid Lothian and East Lothian. Scotland, against the renewal of the Combine ties Laws. The Hon. Menses also presented a Petition from Cede Lions in Ireland, complaining of the Tithe System. The lion. Monza also presented a Petition from Member's of the Established Church at and near Stroud, in favour oFthe Roman Catholic Bill. The Hon. Maxim also presented a Petition from a Gentleman of the name of Hayes, of Cambridge, a solicitor, complaining of the ignorance of Country Magistrates. The Pe 'loner observed that the Country Magistrates were generally fox hunters, clergymen, physkiansou rgeuns, &c. and prayed that before r;
