AS a mild and effectual remedy for those disorders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and Biliary Organs. namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-Ache, Heart burn, Flatulencles, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medecine whatsoever. They unite every recom mendation of mild operation with successful effect ; and require no restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient pro tection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disor ders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

The Marquis of BL presented a petition from an individual wbo had petitioned the House on the same subjectilast Session, fors revision of the Poor Laws.—Laid on the table. MALT AND HEIR DUTIES. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented seven petitions from the inha bitants of Pinner, Cranbrook, Goudhurst, and from other places in the county of Ke nt, praying the reduction of the duties on Malt and Beer.— Ordered to be printed. Colonel SIBTHORP presented a petition from the clergy, land. owners, and other inhabitants of Horncastle. The petition was signed by 881 of the most influential persons and experienced far mers of that place, and they complained of participating in the ge. neral distress of the country. He regretted the absence of the right hon. gentlemen who filled the Treasury benches at a time when pe titions were pouring in that house from all parts, and he considered that their absensc on such an occasion amounted to a dereliction of their duty. The petitioners stated that the distress experienced by them was unparalleled, and expressed their opinion that the present state of misery and starvation of a great body of industrious persons could not but terminate in some dreadful commotion. A great pot. don of the petitioners were interested in the production of wool, the price of the superior qualities of which article had fallen nearly 400 per cent. and other descriptions in equally great proportion. The consequence was that the duty was found very oppressive, and the petition prayed for its reduction. Sir WI LLIAM I NGOLDBY supported the petition. The petition was then read ; and it concluded by " imploring the house to retrace its steps." (A laugh.) The petition was or. dered to be printed. Mr. U'Ei.LS presented a petition from the inhabitants of Ton. bridge, Kent, playing for the repeal of the duties on malt and beer. The petitioners stated that the poor-rates of that place had increased to the enormous amount of 14s. in the pound, and that the above taxes were found to bear most heavy on the agricultural labourer.-- Ordered to be printed. Mr. JEPIISON postponed his motion to 11'ednesilay, March 3, for the production of papers relating to the postponement of the trial of persons for a conspiracy to murder at the late Cork Assizes. Mr. O'CONNELL said, he held in his hand a petition, which, as be was but inexperienced in the rules of that house, he wished to inquire whether he should be in order in presenting it. It was from the inhabitants of the county of Mayo, and was printed. lie had been just informed that it was against the rules of the house to receive a printed petition. The BPEAKhR said that, the petition being printed, it was im possible that it could be received. Mr. O'CifNNELL complained of this practice, and stated that the printing of this petition ha.l been of great utility. If the peel. tion was rejected merely on this ground, he should think it his duty to submit a motion for doing away with this inconvenience. The SPEAKER—The hon. member will use his own discretion in bringing forward whatever motion he thinks proper. It has been along-established rule of that house that no printed petition should be received, and one that had never been deviated from. The petition was rejected. WATEMEORD ELECTION. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the loyal inhabi. teats of the city of Waterford, complaining of an insult and outrage offered them by their chief magistrate, the mayor. The petitioners stated, that during the recent election, at a dinner given to Lord George Beresford, some disputes had arisen; and the mayor, not withstanding that the inhabitants came forward to be sworn in to keep the peace, had thought proper to declare the town in a state of List, and to call in a body of troops, without any necessity whatever he so doing.—Petition ordered to be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the Roman Catho. Bp of the town of Drogheda, complaining of the vestry bill. Ordered to be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Messrs. Jones and Lyons, paper-manufacturers, of Athlone, praying an alteration in the present duty, and complaining that, under the existing regula tions, the worst description of paper paid die heaviest duty.—Or dered to be printed. The same honourable member moved for a return of all memo rials presented to the Commiesionas of Customs, Dublin, re lating to feta to coal meters, from the year 1826 to the present thne.—Ordered. Sir JOHN OWEN presented a petition from the inhabitants of Herbed', in Wales, complaining of general distress.—Ordered to be painted. REDUCTION or TAXES. Mr. 0. it.

An account of the establishment of the royal marines' pay and allowances, showing the total expenditure for the lest year. Mr. WESTERN presented a petition from the owners and ocett piers of land in Blessing:on, Suffolk, complaining of unprecedented distress. Mr. R. COLBORNE said, that as the repeal of the malt tea, which was one halfpenny on every pot of beer, had been suggested, he wished that ministers would give some consiotration to the lie ceasing system. The public would be more benetitted by an (lite. ration in the licensing system than by the repeal of the malt tax. A duty on spirits would also be a most beneficial thing; two 'Jel ling' or three shillings an English gallon might be imposed with advantage to the revenues The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was his intention, a. an early day, to move for a committee to consider of the licensing asystetn, and how far it might be proper to even the trade atirose, emiskigatly,with regulatious. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said that an increase of tile duty oa spirits in Ireland would be do , rimental it would cause the Mime. diatu revival of iliieit disillation, which took place to so great an extent some years ago. and was with so much difficulty put doe.; Ile therefore hoped the house would seriously reflect before they consented to ant' increase. Melt'. S3ll'lll was of opinion that the reduction of tile e. y had afforded greater facility to the collection of the revenue, and had removed great inconveniences ; I:ut he had not the least scruple fr saying that the reduction of the les!) end Scotch duty, and the import oriels!' and Scotch spirts into England, at the prices at which they had been imported, together with the d e l uge o f t h at abominable English beverage, gin, which had done as much blur) to the metropolis as the Union with Ireland had dare gtod. Mr. HU3IE said that lie could show, front the preambles of bills on the table of the house, that the same kind of outcry !tad bee:t raised as to spirits 50, 69, or tat years ago. It was quite a mistale!. ' As regarded Scotland, smuggling had been put an end to by the reduction of the duty. The consequence had been an increase of the revenue, and alorg the whole western islands the population had. returned to sober peaceable habits of industry, entirely owing to fin reduction of the duty on spirits. It seemed extremely hard that w. should grudge ephits. He questioned whether much more was consumed now than was consumed formerly. Formerly it wa< smuggled—now it all paid duty. The chancellor of Cie exchequer ought to have equalised the duty on spirits, and to have taken the duty off malt. It was the dearness of beer which drove person. to the use of spirits, and the best remedy was to take °Mate duty.— Pei* would then resort to the wholesome beverage of beer But there was no reason because spirits were abused by some, that th e y should be made d ear to aIL Lord NUGENT wished to know whether the alterations which the right hon. gentleman meant to introduce extended to the licensing system ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that him ob ject in moving for a committee was to consider the licensing systen: with respect to beer, in order, if possible, to give the means of ht. creasing the sale of beer without incurring those inconveniences and dangers, in anticipation of which alone the restriction was originally Imposed. Lord NUGENT said that when the question came before the house he should be enabled to show that the bill of the hon. member for Oxford had in one part signally failed—be meant as to the ap. peal to the Quarter Sessions. General GASCOYNE gratefully received the intimation of the right hon. gent. (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). He advised him not to be intimidated by any thing he beard from the represen. natives of Ireland or Scotland. Whatever tax was laid upon the country they would always wish to be exempt, and if they had ro other ity grou f nd paying. of exemption they would pl e ad th e i r p overt y and Ina. pabil o Mr. WILLIAM GORDON observed that, as to giving an en. couragement to drunkenness by lowering the duty on spirits, he same sort of spurious humanity had always existed. It was iota. gined by policemen and others th at crime had increased by lowering the ditty on spirits, but he could not assent to that. We a ere apt to view with unfair feelings those things which contributed to the happiness of the lower orders. Cock-fighting and hear baiting were reprobated, but hunting and shooting were preserved. Drinking might be the only resource of people In distress. Colonel DAVIES said that the policemen were the best judges of the state of morality amongst the people. There were complaints in 1742 that drunkenness had increased to an alarming degree. It had been observed that the amusement of the lower orders were un. fairly reprobated. They were reprobated because tney congregated the most worthless characters, and were the scenes of the greatest outrages. If the hon. gentleman who made the observation should go to the garret of an artisan and see the man's wife and children starving whilst he was drinking, the hon. gent. would not say that was a state of things to be continued. He (Col. Davies), thought all sumptuary laws bad. Mr. BROWNLOW said that the feeling entertained by Irish members upon this subject had been misrepresent e d. When the duty was higher they sold their corn as freely as they did under the educed duty. Whisky was then made in as great quantities as tow, but it was smuggled. He did not believe that Irish mentheni would be loses by a reduction of duty on Irish spirits. The lower duty had doubled the revenue. He should adhere to the system of a moderate duty on spirits. Mr. BRIGHT said that a more valuable boon than the taking of the duty on malt would be the repeal of the duty on hops. Every cottager would then brew his own beer, and the consumption of malt would be increased to a great extent. An Hon. MEmsza,whosw name we could not learn, said that the agriculturists would receive with pleasure the announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. WESTERN rejoiced that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had given notice of his intention to move for a Committee. The petition was then laid on the table. Sir GEORGE AIURRAY brought up Reports and Despatches from the Governors of Upper and Lower Canada.—Laid on the table. The Marquis of CHAN DOS presented a petition, most numer ously signed, from the West India Planters and Merchants, Fettiv forth the extreme distress under which they laboured, and praying a reduction of the duties on sugar and rum. He concurred fully 111 the prayer of the petition, and was happy in being the ore= or communication to tho house of the sentiments of a respectable body of men. When the house came to consider the low price of sugar and rum they would agree that the case of the West India planter and merchant was one of extreme distress. After the payment of the duty there was but 12e. per hogshead left to pay the exses of carrying the commodity to this country. It was impossib le for him any longer to stand in the market. He bad to contend with a large importation from the Mauritius. In 1825 it was stated that the importation would not exceed an average of 9,000 or 10,000 hogsheads, it was now not leas than 25,000 hogsheads. When he did find a market for his produce, he had to contend with individuals who could labour at a cheaper rate, by means of the slave tr a d e . He could not help lanaentiug that France and Spain, and other countries, were still carrying on that trade to an immense extent. He called upon ministers to use all their attempts to put down such a practice. As to rum, the intercourse between the United States and the Mauritius had much deteriorated the price of that article. He could not allow the opportunity to pass without imploring mi. nisters to come forward, and extend, to a greater length than they had hitherto done, the hand of friendship towards our colonies. He • could not help entertaining a fear lest other powers should take ad. vantage of our dissensions, and deprive us of them. He had heard it said that England could do without her colonies. He could not subscribe to that doctrine. He thought her colonies the main source of her prosperity, and he should be the last man to give a vote where the interacts of the colonies should be neglected. Ho. poured, as he was, by the West India merchants, he should not be doing his duty if he did not point out the course which he had now done. If the interests of the West India colonists were allowed to be in the hands attune who knew nothing about them, the result was too fearful to be predicted. AIL L DOUGLAS said, that the shipments from ►he colonies were a loss instead of a gain. In looking at the statements in the petition, there certainly were some worthy of the condderatlon of the house. It appeared that from the ywr 11109 no alare trade did exist in concoction with our colonies, while the colonies of other nations, with whom West India *etas bid m compost in the fo reign markets with their sugar, OW arminost to wry cc that trade.
