For twenty years I bad a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my arnb, legs, and back of my neck, attended with the moat intolera :he itching and smarting. I tried various remedies, and had the advice of medical men in this city, but all to no purpose ; the dis ease increased to such a degree as to destroy my rest at night, my appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of recovery.— Being recommended to give your Antiscorbutic Drops a trial, I purchased a small bottle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this city, and, after taking five small bottles, to my great astonish ment, as well as that of my family. the complaint was entirely eradicated; and I am now able to follow my business, which be tore I was incapable of attending to. It will give me pleasure to answer any enquiries, either personally, or if by letter, post paid. I remain your obedient Servant, JOHN SMITH, Saddler and Harness Maker, Market-street, Lichfield.

The report to congress in February upon foreign com merce, smuggling, the warehousing system, the state of the navigation, commercial marine, revenue, cordage, &c. is one of the moat remarkable documents of the present !ones. The writer is evidently not influenced by the eviotts opinions of any statesman or political economist; for, thaugh he pmegyrizes Mr. Huskisson and eulogizes e reciprocity laws, from his evidently deep acquaintance with those subjects, and from our having seen his efforts in the saute course for ten or twelve years at least, he must have been, not an imitator, but an unconscious co operator—not a follower in the same line of argument, tat' a simultaneous discoverer of the same truths with Mr. Ilu'kissou. And we must say, with the best feeling for the country, and with the full hope that the time will some when, party spirit having vanished, personal abuses haying been dissipated into air, and all the ships bought of war prices having got into the hands of peace-price proprietors, Mr. Iluskisson will be looked upon as one of *zreatest benefactors of the age in which he lived—as ante of those wonderful men who, combining fact with o ;cory, the most sound information with the most corn p-elanusive and philosophical views, has changed the na t.;te of commerce, and given a new and more open- I i.srteel and expansive tendency to the dealings of man -made them more kindly and not less profitable— Auri proved reciprocal advantage, not selfish superiority, 'Hareml exchange, not exclusive grasping, to be the trot principles of the increase of pecuniary as well as of imellectual power. We have not room here to dilate on Mr. lioskisson's services to his country, but we do not ar Tate the fame of prophet beyond the mere calculations “t common sense, when we say that we are convinced Nit. Huskisson will be set down in future time as one of t!lohe combinations of cuniprehension and detail, of cau %al and intrepidity, which are met with but rarely in the revolution of many ages—which give to the world a vi gorous impulse, a new insight, a nobler elevation, and convince us more than all beside that we arc not perish able, stationary beings, but improving and to improve, and 4,:llancing onward to deg:ccs of knowledge and civi ilzonon which are but trifling preliminaries to advance them still beyond. The committee of which Mr. Catnbreleng was the lead mg member, deemed it necessary, doubtless at the re colonieralation of Mr. C. himself, to examine into the cbt , ra.xion between the commerce and the navigation of their country, and the report observes that the great de tiocc of the United States is their navy, which " is not to be presened merely by the discipline of officers, the • II IL t• Innen of materials, and the construction of ships • %.Ir.' It is clear that the great material, the enter- THURSDAY EVENING, Al.tir 13, 1830. prize, the knowledge, the experience, the courage of the seamen, can never be produced by the simple establish ment of a navy. You cannot employ men, pay them as highly as you chose, in what is the mere result of hardi hood, without their having learnt the hardihood itself— you can never have a navy without previous commercial labour, long voyages, sun-burnings, and years of yearn ing after far distant homes. This shows more plainly than any other position that could have been taken, that free trade measures required to have been well considered ' before they were adopted, for the injury of all the quali , ties necessary for a good sailor in the navy would have speedily followed any considerable injury to the commer cial marine of our country. The marine and the naval wars have commonly maintained a sort of reciprocity with Great Britain ; but we trust the time is gone, or going, when nations might urge the necessity of keeping up a large commercial marine for the sake of defence. The very reciprocity which Mr. Cambreleng deems best cal culated to support the defence of his country, will have the effect of rendering such defence but seldom, if ever, called for. Such universal connexion —such a commin gling of trade and friendship, good feeling and mutual advantage, seem likely to be the consequences of the free trade system, that we are surprised the sovereigns of so many almost despotic States have adopted it ; for they may see clearly that it will produce, or at any rate ad vance, that state of society when " spears shall be turned into pruning hooks, and swords into ploughshares, and when there shall not be war any more." Mr. Cambreleng says, that by the tariff they assume " what is never conceded, that restrictions are the best means of permanently securing cheap commodities."— This is a point which was not only never conceded, but which it would be impossible to prove. What was it caused the prohibition ? If the Americana could have manufactured cheaper than England, would such a pro hibition have been required ? It is plain, then, that the very principle of restriction is anomalous. It is this : that A, that is America, has a strong inclination to manufac ture goods equal to those of B, that is Britain, and that knowing she is not able to do so upon equal terms, she is determined to buy none of B.'s goods, but to compel her people to compete as near as they can with B.'s manufac ture. This is precisely as if A. in the profundity of her intellect had said, " I will stop B.'s manufactures here, in my own country, which will stop them elsewhere (a pretty notion, indeed !) and then I shall have a prodigious profit"—which is quite as wise as the ostrich imagining herself perfectly secure from her pursuers as soon as she could get her head thrust into a sand-bank ; or as if the ' President of the United States should proclaim through out the world that Congress had decreed a new mode of educating infant states, and that no other country was to send a particle of made goods'to North America, for they were as much convinced, as some fools or madmen may be that five and three are six, that to manufacture before 1 you had even an adequate agricultural population, was the direct road to wealth and to perfection. " Taking a view of the whole union," says Mr. C. " we are at this day as much an agricultural, and as little a manufacturing people, as we wore at the adoption of the constitution. Our manufactures have undoubtedly increased consider ably ; but compare the frontiers of our spare settlements in 1782 with the almost boundless limits of our present agricultural population—compare the rapid and constant emigration of our times to the south and west with that which existed forty years since, and count the thousand millions of acres we have yet unoccupied ! We have added eleven agricultural states to the Union." This is an ad mirable passage for the contemplation of those Solomons who imagined ten or fifteen years ago that the United States would out-manufacture all Europe. " The only result of our taxation must be to perpetuate the ascendancy, even in our markets, of the manufactures of Great Britain," says Mr. C. and a little further on he adds—" We are actually giving a premium to the Bri tish manufacturer of eleven dollars and sixty cents. on every piece of blue cloth of the value of two dollars, 50 cents. per yard." This is the common case of all re striction whatever. The nation which lays it on its neighbour, at the same time taxes itself. The American who chuckles at the idea of making his own coat, while he triumphantly shuts his ports against all English cloth, looks strangely sheep-faced when he finds that he has to pay the very sum which prevents the English cloth from coming in. Nay, more than that,—he must have found for some time that he was paying what is commonly called through the nose more ways than one. As Mr. Cambreleng says, the tariffs of the United States have acquired a degree of popularity from the diminution of prices which succeeded them—which diminutions, how ever, were not owing to the tariffs, but to the universal causes which have operated upon the industry of the world ; but, at the same time, the earnings of all classes dependent on the trade of the country, have been de clining. We should not take the classes of commerce se parately, but to come to a correct conclusion on this point, we should consider the whole country as one groat commercial concern. Well, then, the great concern, or shop, has not paid. It has declared that it will make its own goods, though it cannot do it half so well or so cheap as the shop over the way, and it has carried on so badly under this change that it cannot pay more than one-third or one-half wages to its workmen. All that it is defi cient in cheapness, in material, in making, and in expe dition, may be summed up in that one word, tax; and when the shop has all this additional tax to pay, and the ahopmen so g reat a deficiency of wages to re ceive, can any neigh bour shopkeeper declare that shop to be doing well ? The Americans, however, cannot possibly have believed that they had more than the duty to pay which they laid on, and how such a shrewd cal culating fellow as Jonathan could have overlooked this conclusion we are at a loss to understand. That he did overlook it is clear from his perpetual cry (like that of his father, John Bull) for a reduction of taxation!— Could he have known that he was largely taxing himself while he was roaring out that the national taxes ought to be reduced ?—Could he have guessed that in addition to the duty which, by being laid upon foreign cloth came upon his own, in addition to the diminished value of his agricultural produce, which was another tax, because he had the same expense in raising it, and less profit in its sale, he was taxing himself also in driving his brethren away from home into the wilderness ? Yet such is the i i itten 7D. fact ; for Mr. Cumbrelene; 71c5IIITS us that the incense of population in England from 1790 to 1800 was 22'8,036, fromlBlo to 1820 it has declined tot 88.154, and in 1828 it had increased only 152,616. Even with an aug menting population, Mr. C. observes, the annual ratio might decrease, bid the matter becomes • when the amount of the increase of every t yea since 1807, has diminished. But the tax paid- by Jonathan for his manufactures, in the effect of restriction upon those of other countries, may be be , t appreciated from the declaration of the Boston committee, who stated that in its effects on planting, ag,riculturo, commerce. and shipping, it would " destroy ten times as much wealth as it /meld create." This was the conclusion they drew heft* thelmiff was laid on, and if one may judge from the powerful case made out by Mr. Cambreleng, it was not very far short of the truth. But there is another ridiculous tax laid on America by the tariff, which really shows that when national assem blies take unto themselves hobbies they must ride them most furiously. Jonathan was not content with being a manufacturing country, but lie must have every thing of his own. He would not only wear his own coat but he would grow his own wool, his own flax, his own hemp, and ns much of On. raw material as possible. Of course, while he doing this he lays another nice little tax on himself by prohibiting the wool, and hemp, and flax, of other countries, and then he looks ivonderfully sagacious, and expec.s all Europe to come to hint for his cotton, and his corn, and his timber ! But he will very soon see a prodigious diminution in his sales of those articles. His prohibition on woollens, by the by, has had an effect which could have been little expected. It has actually proved, through sonic smuggling or evading speculation, an encouragement to English tailors ! It has caused a considerable exportation of ready made clothes from England. The taxes which Jonathan lays on himself are vastly augmented also by another circumstance strongly urged by Mr. Cambreleng : " The incidental effect of our own policy is to give a premium of 165,589 dollars on every ship of .500 tons, built and fitted out in Great Britain." " We are actually driving our ship owners to the neces sity of sending their ships abroad half rigged, and hazard ing the lives of our mariners, in order that they may pro cure sails, cordage, cables, &c. &c." Mr. C. exempli fies one point of this—the cordage, most remarkably.— Though there were only 2,164,0961b5. of cordage im ported through the American custom-house in 1828 in 66 vessels from St. Petersburgh alone, there came 3,512,3201b5.—the ships in that trade being furnished with a double supply of Russian rigging. While we speak of cordage we are not very far from timber, and we observe that some remarks were made on the timber trade in connexion with British shipping in the house of com mons on Thursday, which will excite attention among the shipping interest. These remarks bring to our recollec tion a petition from a gentleman well acquainted with the shipping trade—a petition either presented, or soon to be presented, to parliament—in which he demonstratively proves the necessity of our government's abolishing the duty upon foreign oak timber, which would cause much more repairing at home than takes place at present, at the same time that it would enable the British shipbuilder better to compete with the foreigner, or rather to gain considerable superiority over him. But to this and other topics we must recur in our next. We have merely as it were introduced the subject. Mr. Cambreleng's report gives us abundant room for comment for several future papers. In the mean time we must take leave of him in order that we may briefly notice some of the topics of the day. JAI PER lAL PA R LIAM ENT. lIOUSE OF LORDS•••••WSDNESDAY. Counsel were heard at the bar, in a committee of privileges on the Berkeley Peerage Claim, from ten to four. Shortly before five the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack. The private bills on the table, waiting the third reading, were then read a third time and passed ; among which was Slutherley's Divorce bill. Mr. Downie, Sir C. Burrell, Mr. Marshall, Mr. H. Drummond, and other Menthers of the House of Commons, brought up several private bills, al of which were read a first time.

The right rev. prelate moved the attendance of some witnesses on that day, to give evidence at the bar, in support of the bill—Agreed to. The Earl of ROSEBERY, when presenting a petition from Lin lithgow, against the proposed additional duty on British corn dis. dike. spirits. said that the subject was one of considerable im. portance, and well deserving the attention of the legislature. As a financial measure, which interfered with the arrangement entered into by the noble lord (Viscount Goderich) in the year IBM, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the distillers of the country, it was worthy their lordships consideration, especially if it should be found to favour one class of individuals, at the expense of another. To the agriculturists, the measure was of the utmost importance, as it would affect their interests gimlet-ley if persevered in. The noble earl presented three similar petitions, one was from the West Lothian Agricultural Society, and the others from places in Scotland. Viscount DUNCAN presented two petitions of a similar ten dency, from Forfar, and another place. The Earl of AIALAIFSBURY ezrressed his satisfaction at the number of petitions which were pouring in on the subject. On some future occasion, in case the measure proposing the additional duty should be persevered in. he should feel it his duty to submit a mo tion to their Lordships respecting it. Earl STANHOPE gave notice that to-morrow (this day) he should present the petition of the ship-owners of London, and should move for some returns relating to the shipping intcrest.—Lords or dered to be summoned.

Lion of which I have given notice, I trial' to explain that the no. flee for this day which appears on the paper, relative to the homi cides at Borrissokeen. must have got there by some mistake, tor which I cannot account, as my notice celative to that affair was tar Tuesday next. This I ant at a loss to explain, as there was no mistake on the subject in the public papers. The notice which I gave for this day, and upon which I rise now to move, is one for the production of documents which I deem necessary in order to enable the house to judge correctly upon a matter of serious importance Ai connected with the administration df justice, and, to make it as probable as possible that I may obtain them, I shall I' • the number as much as is consistent with the objects I have in view, and I will begin by stating that although my notice is for the depositions of all the witnesses examined on the Special Commission at Cork, I shall now limit myself to moving, in the first place, for the depositions of but one witness— Patrick Daly ; and, secondly, for the notes of the learned judges who presided at these trials. Each of these motions require a different consideration, but upon both I shall lay groundi plainly and distinctly to entitle me to the informa tion 1 require. Before moving for them I shall state the spe cific sujijects of each, and then I shall show how they apply to the motion. The object I have in stew is that of bringing before the House a complaint of the mode of preparing cri minal cases for trial in Ireland, by magistrates taking depositions without the knowledge of the parties charged. That I shall bring before the house as a bad, a dangeivu., and an unjust practice. I shall for this purpose instance the particular case of the Do. neraile conspiracy, and the mode in which information was taken in that case. That is my first case, and I shall bring it speci fically before the house , that that it either may be censured, or, if it shall be found sanctioned by usage, that it may be altered as a bad mode. My second object is to complain against the mode in which the prosecutions at this special commission were in one respect con ducted by the counsel for the crown, in order that if on the facts, my complaint is well founded, I may take the opinion of the bonne on the subject; and if, on the other hand. the practice re sorted to shall be found to have bcen sanctioned by usage, then I think I shall easily obtain leave of the house to bring in a bill to alter that usage. Such are the objects I have in view, and 1 shall state the grounds of them distinctly and plainly, and without any irritation or angry sensation whatever, but at the same time as fully as ever I stated them anywhere, according to the best of my recollection. As:far as I have been able I have looked tee the reports of what I bave said elsewhere, and although I know these reports to have been somewhat stronger than the language I made use of, yet 1 shall not question their accuracy, but shall abide by the facts and statements that have, as tar as I know, been imputed to me. It will be now necessary, before entering on the previous motion, to direct the attention of the house to the nature of the Doneraile conspiracy. About the year 1821, is is familiar to all who know Ireland that the entire of the southern districts of that country were in a disturbed state. Political acrimony and agi tation amongst the Catholics had ceased on the occasion of the King's visit to Ireland, but afterwards, when the hopes which were excited by that event had faded away, the country became extremely discontented. In some parts of the south the discontent actually broke out into open rebellion; and thi s was p ut d own partly by force, partly by the arm of the law, and also I will say, h a great degree by others, whom, to avoid any cavil, I shall distihguish merely as parties who were looking for constitutional relief. Se veral of the parties engaged in these disturbances were in a state of outlawry, and amongst the parts of Ireland so disturbed, and in which many of these outlaws were to be found, was the neighbour hood of Doneraile. There were many there against whom informations had been sworn, and who were, I believe., capable of committing any crime whatever.—(llear.)—There resided in that neighbour hood a magistrate, Mr. Bond Lowe, a useful and an active jus. lice of the peace, who, in the discharge of his duty, attempted the apprehension of these bad characters. The consequence was that conspiracies were formed against his life, and net only was lie threatened, but actual attempts to take away his life were more than once made. There were also other parties involved In thes, conspitacies, but I fear it will turn out that those who were thus in. volved became so through the means of the panics whom they them selves employed, for,afeer the year 1821, this Patrick Daly was taken into employment by certain Magistrates, who thought it fair to keep him as a spy, and receive information by his means. I will now put it to the house, whether it was likely that this man would continue' to re. wive pay unless he made discoveries, and whether it was likely that he would not make discoveries sooner than lose his situation. Thin Ifs the man for whose deposition 1 ant about to move. The house should be aware that on or about the 20th January, when Dr. I Norma, a physician, was returning front a party with his daughter, the carriage in which he rode was fired at, and his coachman wounded in the shoulder. That attempt had been made on the 20th of January. Another conspitacy, having the same object in view, was entered into on the 28th February. Mr. Bond Lowe it was determined should be murdered on the 2d of March, and I would wish the house to beat in its recollection that Daly, the magistrates' hired spy, had given no information to any living person ;of this affair in time to prevent the fatal consequences which it threatened. The ruffians put this plan into execution at a place called John's Wood, and on that occasion, al. though Mr. Lowe escaped, his horse was severely wounded in the shoulder. The next date in the history of these black 'events is the 27th of April. The life of Mr. Bond Lowe was then again aimed at, but the prostate., of his friend Mr. Nagle, whom the conspirators were unwilling to injure, saved his life. This occurred l et the time of the fair of Radiant'. After all these reiterated con. spiracia,the informer took *higher flight in the objects of his denun. nation. Among other respectable Individuals whom he sought to plfeate in these designs was Mr. Ardency, &magistrate, as respectable and amiable an individual as could be found tit the community.
