THE following Letter is an additional and recent Testimony in proof of the peculiar benefit attendant on the use of the Syrup: " Manase, a Half-Acre, Brentford, January 19, 1826. Fully convinced of the efficacy of your invaluable Medicine, Tam induced to make the following case known, for the benefit of thole who may be suffering under similar - affliction. My daughtq.had a severe attack of Typhus Fever in the autumn of 1824; her head was shaved, and immediately' after it broke out, and formed an entire scab (so that her ears were scarcely visible), at the same tim. discharging a watery humour all over the head, with a thkk matter out of the hole 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. Li 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 bet 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, kno wing the efficacy of it in many instances. I am, Madam, your's respectfully. " W. FRANKLIN. " To Mrs. Canham, 52, Bermes-street." The great success of this Medicine, in Scorbutic, Scrophalous' ani Syphilitic complaints, Pains and Swellings of the Liver, dis eased Skin and Glands, and all disorders arising from im purei blood, Is now too well known to require a detailed enumeration.— As, hOwever. imposture, like envy, too closely follows the begs of merit, and pretensions to imitate the Syrup, to improve it, or to have discovered something of similar efficacy, may surprise the uawary, 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 virtun 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 have ever been produced.

Also a Petition from the same place praying the reduction of Taxation generally.—Ordered to be printed. Also a Petition from James Barber, praying a repeal et the Win dow Tax.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. DENISON presented a Petition from . certain lalsabitents of Wandsworth against the Wandsworth Poor Bill.—Referred to the Committee. Colonel WOOD presented a Petition from twenty Adjutants of Militia, complaining against the reduction of their half pay from eight abillings a day after twenty years' service, to six shillings after thirty years. He should move that the Petition do lie upon the table, and in the Committee of Supply he should state his reasons why he thought an alteration should be made. Lord PALMERSTON said that the pay had been Meted in accordance with the general opinion of the House. The Petition was laid on the table. Lord PALMERSTON presented a Petition from an individual named Charles Broderip, praying for in alteration iu the lass relat ing to Patents. He was of opinion that too much encouragement could not be given to science and invention ; and he strongly re commended the subject to his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of &ate for the Home Department, and his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney General. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL agreed with his Noble Friend that every encouragement ought to be given to men of science, and to scientific discoveries. lie thought ffrat some -- of the matters complained of in the Petition might be remedied without difficulty.— The limitation of the number of persons to whom pa. tents were granted, might easily be removed. The Pe tition also complained of the limited duration of Pa tents, of their expense, and stated that supeior advan tages were given to men of science by the French Law. He had looked at the French law and found that the duration was limited to periods of five, ten, or fifteen years. He thought that the term of fourteen years, in the majority of cases, was sufficient to remunerate the discovery of improvements. There might be some which in justice deserved a longer time, and it would perhaps be well to leave a discretionary power in the Crown to extend the period. With regard to the ex pense, he found that by the breach law the patent for fifteen Yeats cost 1,500 francs, or about 761. in this country, for the term of fourteen years, he believed the cost was about 1211. The difference was not, therefore, so eery Fat, although might be worth consideration whether the expense should not be reduced. The Petition prayed that the time should be extended to twenty-eight years, because that period was given to copyrights in publications. But an author was liable to the pirating of his work in various ways, and the cases were conse quently not analagous. He had no doubt that the subject would re ceive the attention it deserved. _ Mr. MA BER IA thought it would be' advisable to refer the whole question to a Committee. The Petition wau ordered to be printed. Mr. P. CORBET presented a l'etition from certain Maltsters Iln Shrewsbury, complaining that by the alteration of the measures, tht duty on each bushel of Malt being the same, and the quantity, contained being less, they were exposed to serious loss. They also prayed for a total repeal of the duty.-i-Ordered to ba printed. WELSH JUNIN° COMPANY. Mr. F. MOORE moved the receiving of the Report of the Welch Mining Company. Mr. LYT I'LECON said, that this was a Company for producing Coals and Iron from Mimes in WAles and that the Bill went to give the power to sue 'and be sued in be person of a Secret.'ry. He objecteitto this, because it gove - rhe'CuriSpany an mark advsnitatis over private bettrests Engaged in this branch . H, tbassibt she n ot * ought to reject the Dill if it were only for the porliose of discoun. tenanting 91..-tgaticinS 'of this natnet% He should therefore move as an Amendment, that the Report be received that day Oa months. Mr. P. MOORE said, • that the Company ought not to be confounded with the common speculators of the day; that it was already in foil work, employed many bands and much capital, and that there bad not been established a More havent or a better Company within the last fifty year,. He therefore biped I.that the Hon. Member.would not press his amendment. r•I• WOOD expressed his age that his Hon. Friend the hforn ber fee Worcester would persist in opposlog the /3811; Col. DAVIES supported the Mr. S. WORTLEY opposed !c, beeaete it wool' be shine an unfair advantage over individual kw masters who had long been engaged lathe business. Mr. P, MOORE explained. Mr. (MLCRAFT said, that if the Gantlemen belong ing to this Company wished toe spend tberr money in mining, they Desist to do it without coming to Parliament. Mot that was done only to give an additional value to 'Wee in ttie market, Ind make them the object of gamblfng speculation. lie sboold vote against the Bill. Mr. BARING laid, that this discussion only showed the defective state of the law upon this subject. It ought to be slecided by the law whether these Compi. nies should hive the power of suing and being seed in the name of limit *gents or not. If the passing such Bills as the present give a sanction to the Companies to which they referred, ellen- he thpught it was harsh tit refuse it to one that. might be good and :mind in its means and prospects. He had hoped that before now the Right lion. President of the Hoard' of Trade would have vlded some general uniform measure to be untied in suck coaqh without the necessity of Parliament behig called upon to exereise.p discretion as to what was or was not a fit case for the granting ref these Bins, He felt embarrassed how to vote, because he 'shoed he sorry to do any thing which created au ides out Of doors that she House gave its sanction to this or any other Company. I. ,rd PALMERSTON sa d there was much in what had fallen from the Honourable Member for Tatinton to chew the 'necessity of some measure to determine the law. Bin he did not apprehend that this Bill would give to the parties any superiority over individuals engaged In the same' branch of industry.- On the contrary, he thought it won' only place them on the carte footing, and give them equal Wean cages. It was certainly desirable that nothing should be done which would go to fetter or impede the application of capital to the industry of the country. Tile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER - 4W. he ktlew too little of this 'Company to say whether . nr not it was likely to confer great advantages upon the prlitellpallti of Wales. But he wished to ask whether the pities had taken ad vantage of the measure passed last year, ley which the Crosin was enabled to grant limited charter, for such purposes ? Mr. P. 5100 RE said, that the Company already did 1114 good in Wales by the expenditare of its money, and ity enspieyker three or four hundred people. Lord A. HAMILTON said. that the granting . Or Ellis like the present did, somehow or other, produce an les• slots out of doors that the House sanctioned the Companies to *bleb they referred. Now he apprehended, that if Hon. hiembesi had known ibis, they would not have voted for the Mtn whishpse support to the Companies of last year, and which had been produc tive of such disesteems consequences. ••• _ _ - Mr. HUSKISSON said, the Noble Lord laboured under a misconception, in supposing that the bubble: imposed upon the public last year, ever came before Parliament. He did not believe that even one of them' had applied to the House. The _House, however, did kgrow alarmed at the numerous applications which wino mada, Sing an Act was accortlingly_passed, empciwerinig •. g the min Council to graht certain lionted.Chartava; ,with a fee unilt7y responsibility, proportionate to the. amount of capitals employed intim speculations. Many applications were then made under that Act, and the enquiries which it was thought proper to make °eel sinned delay at the 'time, to which many of the parties were now indebted, for saving the experKes of Charters, as they had retired altogether frOin the field. He un derstood that this Company was for tie Working of mines and minerals in Wales—for coals and hon.— There was last year a similar application with respect to Scotland,supported by all the leading capitalist, and pro prietors of that country. It was thought proper to re fuse that application, because it was consideted, that such a Company would go to work with great advan:- tages over those individuals or partners lips already engaged in the regular business. . The consequence of the announcement of these Companies last year was A general raising of wages in all the mining districts, mid a combination among the workmen, whin was a seridus injury to the masters at the time, but had now fallen most severely upon those who engaged in it. Fie thought this was a Company of the same kilid, and if it had come before the Council, he should have taken care that every inquiry was made before a charter had teen granted. With regard to. the Law of Partnerships generally, he did hope that some one better acquainted with legal matters than himself, would undertake to bring it before the House. He thought it impossible but a Law of Partnerships more inconvenient, and more injurious to the interests of trade. - could not be devised than the one which at present existed. If it happened that a partner via: absent from the country, the firm to which he belonged could not be sued until a writ of outlawry had been obtained against him. The wilt could not be obtained before the expiration of twelve months ; and if in the mean time another partner should have gone abroad, the same process must be pursued with respect to him. Then when the party had brought his suit almost to an end, it was sufficient to stay ,11 proceedings that a plea of abutment was put in, stating that some per:on unknown as a partner had not bees named, or that all the Christian names had not - been properly described. If the unfortunate party suing then . wint*to the issue, and the plea of abatement was proved, he must submit to a nonsuit. On the other hand, if he commenced de Ism be would perhaps have to make thae persons decadent, upset idiom evidence be had intended to rely, and who could Mot tben be put info the witness's boa. He thought these matters very seriously called for the Interposition of the House, and that this part of its law Materially ed the spi rit of enterprise and Industry in the country. After a few weeds Irons Mr. TIMMATIM Mr. P. MOOR It said he should not divide the House. The Amendment was ateenneity put and carded. and the Bill lost il;ii: WILSON moved foe an account of all Pees payable vr Clerks of the Crown, Clerks of the Peace, Clerks of Amax, Clerks of Nisi Prins, and Clerks of ladistmenr, is respect t'• alt Criminal Proceeding., specifying the autborky under which they are demanded.

On the motion of the Csiasemsa of the Facuepsts the Hoeft resolved 'itself into a Committee of Supply. In' the Committee, Mr. Goutauas ssoved that 44.1,000 be grained to the Sudety ter Eshicalos the Poor is Ireland. Mr. HUME objected to the mode adopted by Minis. ten of bringing on Estimates of this important n . upon a dsy on nhich it apptared to be a concession to
