GUESTONIAN LOTION AND PILLS THE many thousands that have experienced th e very beneficial effects of these Medicines during the last twenty-six years, p recludes the necessity of any comments, further than to observe that they are not more certain in their salutary e fficacy, than safe and pleasant in their operation, and may be taken and used at all times, by persons of the most delicate tonal tutlous, with the greatest safety, for the cure of the following disorders :—Gout, Rheunistk Gout, Rheumatism, Ssigica, I .umbatoi Scrofulous Enlargements, Sprains, iiryjses, Lasetzde, Contraction, Pleurisy, and Head-ache. Thesefitedicines are pre?ared and sold, wholesale and retail, hi, t h e Proprietor, Mr. IL Guest (successor to the Inventor), 165 ode 9), Great Surrepstrect, London.—Attendance from nine In twelve, every morning. Sunday excepted. praying him to direct that there be laid before the' House several papers, principally rellitivelo the silver' • coinage. They were - • " An account of all silver coinage cot* in the Mint of Mt, hlajestrunder the law regulations fur the - river coinage, distin guishing the amount of cot .age in with year, and the amount issued in each year; also the amount of such coinage now re maining unissued, both at the Bank of Engbnd And in the hands of the Guveruntent•" _ _ _ " An account of aU persons tried and condemned for crimes 'connected with the enunterldting or sleh.isement of the silver coinage of the realm, from the year 1790 to the year 1910, both inclusive." " Au account of all persons tried and condemned for crimes connected with the counterfeiting and debasement of the silver tokens of the Bank of England, during the same period of time." " Also au account of all gold coined in his Majesty's Mint, under the same regulations as those affecting the silver coinage, distinguishing the amount of such gold coinage in each year, the amount thereof issued in each year, and the amount of such coinage now remaining unissued, both at the Bank of England and in the bands of the Government." " An account of all persons tried and condemned for crimes connected with the counterfeiting and debasement of the gold coin of the realm, from the year /790 to ►rl`lo, inclusive." Mr. GRENFELL said, that if it was the intention of his Hon. Friend to propose any plan, having for its object to make a distinct standard for silver and another for goli, he would oppose it; not because he was inimical to the plan, but because he was sure the agitation of ittat tlii, time would pet we prejudicial. Mr. BARING s 'id he had understood that the Right Hon. Gentlem in (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) was likely, himielf, in a few days, to give notice of. a motion for agitating that question, of which his (Mr. Baring's) Hon. Friend appeared so anxious to avoid the discussio 1. It would then come before them it a shape which might call for some observations from him (Mr. Baring). II GENERAL ENCLOSURE BILL. The House went into a Committee on the General Inclosure Act Amendment BILL Mr. WHaavott brought up several new clauses, one of which was negatived. The House resumed, and the lit:port was ordered to be received to-morrow (this day). Mr. C. LONG, on the part of his Noble Friend, the Secre tary at War, postponed the consideration of the Army Estimates, which stood for Friday, to Wednesday next. IRELAND. Mr. M. FITZGER A LI/ stated, that it was his intention, at some convenient period of the present Session, to call the atten tion of the House to the physical situation of the people of Ire land. In order to support the exposition which it was his inten tion to make, it would be necessary that certain returns con nected with the revenue, the public debt, and establishments of Ireland,. should be in possession of the Ihuse. Ile then moved for several returns containing accounts of the public debt, the trade in export and import, and of tha amount of shipping trading from Ireland to all parts of the world, from 1798 to 1820. The papers connected with the revenue he would not now move for, as he did not see the Chancellor of the Exche quer in his place, but he gave notice that he would move for them on Thursday. Mr. LUSH I NG TON said he had no objection to the motion, and the returns were ordered. TURNPIKE ROADS. Mr. D. GILBERT moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of consolidating the Trusts of the Turnpike Roads in the neighbourhood of the Metro polis. He described these Roads to be in a state that very much required attention. He cast no blame whatever on the Trustees ; but he conceived that the Committee on this matter agreed with him in think ing, that the Trusts ought to be consolidated as much AS possible, as the Trustees at present were too nu merous. His plan was, to divide London into three districts, and to consolidate the diffet ent Trusts within each district into one. One of the greatest advan tages he expected from this measure would be, that the repair of the Roads would be carried on on a larger scale than could be done by small bodies of men. It was well known that much better materials could now be had for the repair of Roads, than had ever been laid open to the Public before ; but in order to obtain those materials, it. would be requisite that the Trustees should have a greater command of ca pital than the present small and dispersed bodies of Trustees could be expected to have power over,— These materiali, in the long run, would be found to be more permanent and more cheap than the mate rials which at present were used. He-disclaimed the intention which was imputed to the Committee, of placing all the Roads in England, particularly those round London, under the controul of Government. Such an alteration, the Committee were convinced, would be most prejudicial—(llear, hear)—and he could assure the House, that no such intention ever was or could be contemplated by them. Mr. BYNG seconded the motion. 1% . 1r. CURWEN would not object to the motion, though he confessed he would look with great jea lousy on any measure which went to take away the controul over the Roads from those who, by their local situation, were most interested irkthem. He denied that the Roads about London were so bad as the Hon. Member described. After a•few observations from Sir J. YORKE, Mr. Catcam, Sir M. W. RIDLEY, and Mr. HARVEY, leave was given to bring in the Bill. THE COINAGE, &C. Mr, BARING rose for the purpose of moving that an humble Address be presgated to his Majesty, SANK NOTES. Mr. GREY BENNETT begged to know if the fact were true, of which so general a rumour prevailed among the Public, namely, that the plan from which so much had been anticipated, for the production of a new Bank Note, had completely failed ? One thins was now universally acknowledged—that was, the impossibility of pointing out any method which should make the forgery of the notes of the Bank of England impossible. He understood that it was the intention of his Majesty's Government that the Bank should return as soon as possible to payments in specie. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by saying, that the moment certain Returns relative to the num ber of persons convicted of forgeries of Bank notes were laid upon the table, he should advert more par ticularly to this subject. Mr. CURWEN did hope and trust, that within a few days the House would have some decisive ac count of what state the new plan, and all the arrange ments connected with it, were in. If that account should prove unsatisfactory, he should feel it his duty, as he said hero! e, to move that some other and more effectual means be instantly taken for the accomplishment of so important an object as the prevention, or at least the diminution of the facilities, of the forgery of Bank notes. Mr. IRVING had made very careful and partial ' lar inquiry into this matter, and he could assure the I House, that he had reason to believe the plans which had been submitted for the production of a new spe cie's of note were still going on, and being prosecuted by the Bank--(Hear, hear)—and though there had been some interruption and some delay, with regard to the completion of these notes, yet the labours of those who were engaged in the superintendence of the work were by no means at an end, neither was there at the Bank any despair expressed of their ul timately obtaining such a note as might answer the purpose. He thought it, therefore, extremely im proper and unwise, that these casual observations should be made upon a subject which was already under consideration, and of which the agitation could answer no good purpose, pending the labours of those who were engaged in devising some effectual remedy for the . evil. Mr. GREY BENNETT had also made inquiries‘ upon this subject, and, in answer totre observations of the Hon. Gentleman, he begged to say, that, from all he could harp, he was led to believe that such a despair did exist on the part of the Bank—(Hear) — who, as the law at present stood, had the power of life and death in their hands—(Near). Mr. DAVIES GILBERT declared, that if such a despair really was felt by the Bank on this subject, the thing was entirely new to him. He hid season to believe (although he had had no communication with the Bank for the last three weeks), from having that day seen a Gentleman who had made one of these new proposals to the Bank, that they were still employed upon the achievement of the measure in question ; for that individual to whom he had alluded continued to pursue his work and his experiments, without having received any notice from the Bank to discontinue them—(Hear). Mr. CURWEN begged to inform the Hon. Gen tleman, who appeared so eager to rebuke Honourable Members for the observations which they had made upon this subject, that nothing which had yet been said had effected any change in his (Mr. C's.)intentions. Mr. IRVING, after the explanation of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Gilbert), appealed to the House whether he was not justified in what he had said? Mr. CALCUAFT observed, that notwithstanding what had been said by the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Irving) in his stout way, upon the remarks which some Honourable Gentlemen on his (Mr. Cal craft's) side of the Hance had felt it their duty to make upon a very painful subject, he bad also to declare his belief that such was the result of all those labours which had been alluded to; and he meant also to say, that unless there had been a revival of the plan since yesterday, it had disappointed the Bank ; for yesterday it was considered to have en tirely failed—(Hear, hear). He was told, that upoti that, it was proposed to submit another, and a dif ferent measure to the House. The Honourable Gen tleman (Mr. Gilbert) who had spoken from under the gallery,allowed that he had had no communica tion with the Bank for the last three weeks : - how was it possible. then, that he should know wind had taken place at the Bank yesterday ?—(Hear). Was the Public to sufer all this inconvenience, and were all those temptations to forgery to continue which at present existed. because the Bank could not makeup their mind whether they could produce a note of the proposed nature or not ?—(llear, hear). Or was the Public to understand that instead of this system, the circulation of El and L 2 notes should be replaced by a cash circulation ?—(Hear, hear). -- ir No answer being given, the SPlacal lo put the question upon the Ret inas . airei l"rded , cited, which were agreed to. es. Mr. GREN FELL rose to ask a questi ons the swer to which might remove a nusunderssaadiet which possibly he laboured u n d er . Did he lite stand his Honourable Friend (Mr. B ar i ng) to aalia',„h_ it was the object Of the Chancell or o f t h e g ' intended proposition to lender the cent • A . Bank paper into bars of bullion o f a ceri •w• 4 11 111 ; a pernianent plan ? Mr. BARING explained, and then monad h t .
