He considered the reversal of the attainder. of thz two noble families of Airlie and Wetuys (Baron Elcho), as merely an act of justice, for the heads of those houses had committed no crime whatever at the time when the attsiuders were issued against their heirs, who algae had been implicated.--. Notwithttanding the .effect which the increase in the number of Scotch Peers might produce on his own election, he saw the resto ration of noble families to their titles with sincere pleasure. The Earl of LIVERPOOL agreed with the Noble Earl, that the restoration of the House of Airlie and Wemyss was an act of pure justice. With respect to the two other cases, as wen as those which had taken place in former Sessions, they were acts of grace and mercy, and had been irk as such by the House. Neither party considerations net favour had bees consulted in selecting the indi viduals both in Scotland and Ireland, to Whom the titles of their families bad been restored.

That his claims to respect ate increased by the indefatigable. useful, and liberal manner in which he has long and habitually acted as a Member of the Corporation—and in which he fulfilled the duties of Sheriff Alderman, and Lord Mayer—by his intimate knowledge of the Interests of the Corporation—and his able, per severing, and resolute attention to their ancient and important rights.

HE following Letter is an additional and recent T Testimohy in proof of the peculiar benefit attendant on the use of the Syrup; " MADAM. • Half-Acre, &entford, January 19, 1826. " Fully convinced of the efficacy of your invaluable Medicine, I am induced to make the following case known, for the benefit of those who nia.y be suffering under similar deletion. My daughter had a severe attack of Typhus Fever in the autumn of 1824; her bead was shaved, and immediately after it broke out, and formed an entire scab (so that her ears were scarcely visible), at the same time discharging a watery humour all over the head, with a thick matter out of the bole of each ear. After taking a few bottles of the Syrup, she was restored to perfect health, in which she still remains; another autumn having passed, without the least symp tom of a relapse. In addition to the foregoing, I cannot but acknowledge that, on several occasions, I have received the greatest benefit from taking the Syrup, but particularly on the occasion of an ulcerated leg, occasioned . by a severe blow. I beg to add, if I can in any way be serviceable, as a reference, in recommending the Syrup, I shall feel it a duty I owe, knowing the efficacy of it in many'instances. I am, Madam, yont's respectfully, " W. FRANKLIN. " To Mrs. Canhana, 52, Berner's-street." The great success of this Medicine, in &orbutie, Serophalous, and Syphilitic complaints, Pains sod Swellings of the Liver, die. eased Skin and Glands, and all disorders arising from impure Mood, is now too well known to require a detailed enumeration.— As, however, imposture, like envy, toe closely follows the heel* of merit, and pretensions to imitate the Syrup, to improve It, or to have discovered something of similar efficacy, may surprise the unwary, and fatally mislead the ignorant, Mrs. Canham owes it in gratitude to the Public, to give warning of these dangers ; and to refer to those proofs of the virtues and efficacy of her Medicine, to be found in her publications, which surpass in number, respect ability, and authenticity, any testimonies of a similar kind that hate ever been produced. One of the Trustees of the late TNOMIAS Cass tat, attends every WillninDaT, at 52, &met's-street, Oxford -street, from Nine till Two o'clock ; and having long experience in the efficacy of the STRI3P, can administer it, in all Syphilitic Cases, with the same MOM as it was by the late Mr. SWAINSOn and Mr. CANIBAIt. The effects of the GENUINE VEGETABLE SYRUP are such as not to interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the animal juices, and simply requires the common restraint of moderation in di et. It is a safe bet poweriLl substitute fur Met-' eery, and removes all these diseases which an uftuccessful use of that mineral occasions. The genuine Meditatee has a label affixed to each bottle, with the signatote, " 111.

Mr. ELI.IS, of Dub art, presented a Petition from the Mayor s Sheriffs, and others. of the City of Dublin, , for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act 49 Geo.IIL commonly called the Metal Main Act. Sir H. SHAW supported the Petition and begged it might be referred to aCommittee appointed on the occasion.. The Petition was referred to the Committee. whiz instructions to report the sante to the House if they should so think fit. The Hon. Nanssza also presented a Petition from the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of Dublin, praying that no further concessions be made to the Roman Catholics.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. H UNE presented Petitions from three patishes in Madre, praying for the release of Mr. R. Gourlay.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. W. WHITMORE moved for a return of Ships and their Tonnage (distinguishing Foreign front British), that had cleared out of the Port of London during the last ten years.—Also for the quantity of all kinds of Grain (distinguishing each kind) imported into Great Britain during the same period.—Ordered. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition - from the Freehold Inhabi tants of the town and County of Galway, complaining of the mis. application of certain Tolls (exacted for public benefit), by th e Corporation of that City. Mr. J. DALY said that the application of those tolls, which formed the basis of complaint iu the Petition, was sanctioned by an agreement between the Merchants (from whom the greater portion was collected) and the Corporation of Galway.—The Petition was laid on the table. Colonel BAGWELL presented a Petition from Rowel apinst Slavery—Ordered to be printed. Dlr. ESTCOURT brought in a Bill to continue the present Licensed Victuallers Act for one year longer, at the end of which time he should have prepared one to supersede the present. Mr. MA BERLY, Sen. wished that some provision might be made to enable licences to be granted to persons who, on account of illness or some sufficient cause on the part of the applicant for a licence, came forward as substitutes for the victualler thus pre ' vented from attending on licensing day. He understood that a Magis trate could not grant licences, under the present Act, to any person but the proprietor of the house for which such licence was asked. Ile trusted that some regulation would be made to enable the Secretary of State to - grant an order for licences to be given to substitutes, provided that a sufficient good cause were adduced. The Bill was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Tuesday the 2d of May. Mr. DALY presented a Petition from the Grand Jury of the 'town of Galway, praying that no interference should be nude fn the Banking System of Ireland. The Hon. Mutant also presented a similar Petition from the Grand Jury of the County of Galway. Both Petitions were referred to the Committee on the Banking Systems of Ireland and Scotland. Mr. JOHN GRANT presented a Petition from Dunse against any alteration in the Banking system of Scotland. The Hon. Mem ber stated, that a Petition to a contrary effect had been presented to the House as coming from Dense, the inhabitants of which town knew nothing of such a Petition until they beard of its having been presented in Parliament. This Petition was signed by ninatenths of the inhabitants of Dunse. After an obsereadon from Mr. Ilasiossott, Sir J. W [MITES LEY begged the Hoeft to reediest that these bad been but one Peition presented which differed from the prayer of an immense number on the manse subject • this Petition he beg ged leave to fecal& to the memory of the limse, that this Petition came from Dunse.—Referred to the Committee. A Petition was presented from Forfarshire, by Mr. Hums, against any alteration of the Currency of Scotland.—Referred to the Committee. blr. HUME presented a Petition from a Corporate Body of Operatives (labouring under vest distress from the present state of manufactures), earnestly praying that some alteration might be made in the present Corn Laws.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. SYKES brought isr his Bill to declare the Rights of Free holders to Vote at klections of Knights of the Shire. The Bill was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Monday neat, and in the intkrim to be piloted. Mr. C. ELLISON presented a Petition from several Shipowners of North Shields, praying fur a Protecting Duty an British Mer chant Ships. Mr. HUSKISSON was much obliged to the Hon. Member for Newcastle, for his indication that he was going to present this Petition. A similar Petition had been presented about a week ago, he had not been able to attain, in the House at the 1 et ioJ of its presentation, co.c4u.e he was engaged in a Committee up stairs till a Lord J. RUSSELL roe to call the attention of the House to the all-important subject of Parliamentary Reform. The circumstances of the country were now so nearly similar to those in which he la at addressed the House upon this subject, that he might be satisfied to rest his case upon the arguments he had formerly ad. duced. The necerliar of Government accommodating itself to the intellectual condition and the progressive intelligence of the people was recognised even an those places where the most barbarous and despotic ;maim. tions prevailed. Thus in Tin key a constitutional lawyer, whilst he would stoutly maintain the right of the Grand Seignor to strike off with his own hand the heads of his subjects whenever he thought propels would at the same time insist upon tl.e neces4ty of th.at Monarch appearing at Mosque every Rider. The Noble Lord then proceeded to shew that a glitat advance had taken place in the general intelligence of the people doting the last century, and that the exercise of the elective franchise had been narrowed, and consequently the influence of the people upon Government had been weakened dining the same period. There esioed, it wasjrue, some portion of popular re, r.:sentation in that House, but it was constantly overpowered by the greater number of those who were either the nominees of powerful indi►iduals, or who had found their way into Parliament by means of bribery. During the growth of popular intelligence the state of the rem. sentation had been deteriorated to a degree which me naced, some day or other, serious calamities to the State. The Noble Lord then refereed to the manner in which Parliament was called together in the time of Edward 111. and inferred from this, and from the purpose for which only they were then assembleJ, of granting sub sidies to the Crown, that the Members for boroughs and cities, as well as counties, must have represented large, populous, and flourislaing communities. In support of his assertion, that in , those days the burgesses, who exercised the Elective Franchise, were in fact the inhabitants at large, he should appeal to an authority which would not be disputed on the other side of the House. The Lord Chan cellor had stopped a Counsel in an argument be fore the Privy Council, to declare that he had no doubt that originally all inhabitants were burgesses. The practice had prevailed of excusing places, on account of their poverty, from the expense of send• ing Members to Parliament, and it had been suggested to him that a Bill might be brought in upon the prin ciple of the old practice to relieve certaM Boroughs whose voters were reduced to a very small number from this burden. Our ancestors never dreamed of such places as Old Sarum being represented. The ohj:ct was to collect representatives who, acting for their con. stituents, might grant subsidies to the Sovereign to afford him the means of carrying on his wars. This practice was productive of whatever was most valuable in our constitution. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had said that the Parliaments of these days met, granted a subsidy, and separated in a fortnight. This, however, was not all they did. They struggled for the liberties of their country, and the great principles of English liberty were effectually urged and firmly established by them. He would borrow the equally solid and acute remark of a celebrated author, that when we talked of the liberties purchased by the blood of our ancestors, we should be nearer the truth if we described them as the liberties purchased by the money of our ancestors. All he contended for was, that they should return to the wholesome and original principles of the Constitution. He would now advert to some of 'boob jections with which he had been met on the former occa sion. And the first r f these had been the prosperous state of the country.
