T I HE REAL PEARL MILK is the only Cosmetic in the World that prevents the face, neck, arms, and bands, becoming wrinkled; and what is more remarkable, if a Lady or Gentleman begins to be wrinkled through advance in years, or from illness, which is often the case, the real Pearl Milk is so soothing and softening to the skin, that by a few times using it the wrinkles will disappear, and the skin will become level ; and is the °nip article that makes the complexion clear, beautiful, and i healthy; is pleasant, cooling, refreshing, and so innocent, that it may be used with safety to infants. it clears all cutaneous eruptions, spots, pimples, redness, blotches, (and even actually clears itching pimples). Persons subject to leprosy, King's Evil, and Scrofula., will find the real Pearl Milk the finest remedy; and it makes coarse, sallow, ; and sickly complexions a healthy bloom and radiant ! whiteness. Ladies who use the Pearl Milk will have no eccision to rouge, paint, &c. as the best of them is un healthy, and injurious to the skin ;—tberefore Ladies might to be particular what they use fur the skin, as the tin is naturally thin and delicate. There are young as well as elderly Gentlemen who are subject to; pimples, and particularly elderly Gentlemen, whose chins naturally get cult and begin to wrinkle, and shaving becomes difficult, and often cut themselves, but by washingtheir face with the Real Pearl Milk, or by putting some on the soap when shaving, instead of water, it makes the chin hard and plump, dears all imperfections, and shaving will be comfortable. S:versl Lodi have de clared they have spent pounds fur articles for the skin that are so puffed in the News] spas, but they found they have been defraud d, as it did more harm to the skin than good ; but after a few times using the Real Pearl Milk, they were 13 pleated with it, as it began to beautify their temple:don, and they found the oftener they used it the more it cleared away the red spots they had been subject to; but they raid it was a pity it is so dear or :!•ev would use it oftener. A Lady of Distinction, about forty-five, has declared Lathe Proprietor, about two years ago, after recovering from an illness, observed wrinkles under her eyes, that made her look years older : and had had the first medical advice, and used several French and English Cosmetics, yet round the wrinkles increased, but of .ate washing her face' with the Pearl Milk, her skin gradually became smooth even, and made her complexion look healthy and youth ful. And what makes the real Pearl Milk so valuable to young Ladies, as well as elderly, when washing with it the :ace, neck, bands, and arms, makes them look healthy, t;.ir, and beautiful. In short, if the Royal Family, Nobility, sod s'..ntry, whohave not used the Real Pearl Milk, stillhommat tt with a trial, they will find it the most valuable article no the toilet. There ire some Ladies and Gentlemen, no dohb:, who think it impossible for the Real Pearl Milk to prier. the above remarkable virtues, but a trial will con li:;Ce them of its efficacy.

A good price given for old discoloured and unshaped real Pearls, lot fit fur Ladies' ornaments, as real Pearls is the pincipa ingredient of the Real Pearl Milk ; and if a Lady has such real Pearls to dispose of, the Propr ietor will either ;ive a good price, or exchange them for .

Lord Wynford has just presented a bill to the House of Lords, entitled " A bill to diminish the expense and prevent the delay of suits in the com mon law courts at Westminster." The preamble says, " Whereas it is expedient that the expenses of suits in the common law courts of Westminster should be diminished, and that parties should be restrained from bringing vexatious or unnecessary actions, or preventing or delaying justice by false or frivolous pleas." It then proceeds to enact, that in all actions in the common law courts at Westminster after the term hereinmentioned, any party may give the other notice for the production of documents for inspection at a time and. place to be appointed ac cording to the rules herciamentioned. That documents produced be distinguished as copies or as originals. That parties be not obliged to admit documents unless at the inspection they aro allowed to com pare them. The manner of proceeding if the party re quired to inspect documents does not give con sent -to admit them on the trial, and the service, ece. thereof. It further provides, that there be proceeding by interrogatories before a commissioner to be ap pointed for that purpose : That any plaintiff or defendant in any action may, with leave of the said Court, or some judge thereof, nt any time after the writ is served on any defendant, deliver interroga , torielito the opposite party or parties for the dis covery of any facts or documents material to the support or defence of the suit, or to the proving or reducing damages either on a trial or on the exe . cution of a writ of inquiry, and may require such opposite party or parties, by notice in writing, to be examined on oath before some commissioner to 'be appointed by the Chief Justice or Chief Boma ' of the Court in which the action shall be brought, to answer on oath to such interrogatories ; and the Chief Justice and Chief Baron are hereby au .. thorixed to appoint such commissioner : provided always, that uo party shall be obliged to answer any such interrogatories, unless there shall at the time when they shall be delivered to such party be i annexed to such interrogatories an affidavit of the interrogating party himself, and his attorney or agent, stating that the deponents believe that the ' party will derive material benefit on the trial or in quiry of damages from the discovery which such party seeks. ICommissioner to be authorized to administer an oath. That persons •sweariag falsely be indicted for perjury. That the Court be empowered, upon reading th e examinations, to require the plaintiff to put in bail for payment of the costs of the action ; or to order judgment to be entered for the plaintiff, unless the defendant shall put in bail for the amount of the debt and 1001. costs ; or, if the action is for Cie re covery of lands, as a security for the costs of the action and the &livery of the lands. As to the manner of proceeding where the facts are admitted, tand the case turns on asquestion of law, Bc. be it further enacted, that if it shall ap pear to the court in whist► any action shall be brought, on :eading the examination of tha parties in any case, that all the facts necessary for the de cision of the cause are adjoined, and that the case turns on a question or questions of law, such court shall, after hearing the questions argued, give judgment for the plaintiff or defendant for the debt or damages to be recovered, if such debt or the amount of such damages be admitted, or, if the action be brought for the recovery of the possession of any interest in any lands, tenements, or heredi tament., for the recovery of the lands, tenements, or hereditaments for which such action shall be breught, and shall issue execution on the judgment so given as if such judgment had been pronounced Ass verdict or on demurrey er if dm union be for dameget whit* are not ascertained, shall oder a Writ of bilk to be issautior the Ingerteinsessty of such a and on thi team el male grrir shall sign t and wird execution fat tbe damages found on the execution of such writ of inquiry, &c.

SPIRIT OF THIS DAY'S JOURNALS. MORNING CHRONICLE.—A trial has taken place at the Kilkenny Assists, of two Roman Catholic gentlemen, fora conspiracy to compel a clergyman to lower lsis The Jury were exclusively Protestants. They were con victed, and the Judge (Johnson) sentenced them to twelve months' imprisonment, and a fine of 501. each. The severity of the sentence will strike most of our readers. The Dublin Morning Register says—" These gentlemen appear to be men of high and spotless character. It is proved that the public tranquillity owes them a great deal. They offended without knowing they did." But with the Judges of this country, the last consideration is the guilt of prisoners. They mat about them to see what offences are epidemical at the time, and woe to the prisoner who happens to have corn. mitted an epidemical offence or crime. Sheep•stealing, for instance, happens to be on the increase "we must make examples" (say they), and no mercy for sheep-stealers that year. Tithes, as our readers well know, are at present a very ticklish property in Ireland. If report is to be believed, the people have generally refused to pay them; and at the sales there are use bidden; so that it Jumbo. found oecessary, in some oases, to eontey the goods taken the tithes to England. Tithe offences are, thereto*, at present peculiarly obnoxious ; and hence, by way of example, and to cure country gentlemen of their disinclination to pay tithes, this enormously severe sentence. At another time the same offence might have escaped with a fine of five pounds. If the power of judges in such a case extended to hanging. they would have thought an execution or two beneficial to arrest the progress of the evil. We are much mistaken, however, if the extraordinary severity of this sentence do not add to the hostility to the tithe system. Where the deter mination to resist the exaction of tithes is almost universal, punishment most be unavailing. One effect, however, will be produced ; individuals in the rank of gentlemen will be more cautious in their proceedings. But they may proceed with more caution, and yet with equal effect. TIMES.—The nomination of clergymen as justices of the peace has done more to produce dissent from the church of England than my one can conceive, and is fraught with incalculable evil to the community. What have the clergy become but conservators of game, and, in the eyes of the easily prejudiced peasantry, not charitable mediators between man and man, the shield of the weak, and Instructor of the nn oppressive enf i t ttr i instruments of the wealthy, d a i nd jirsels.uenttllty the te thrownli o f r mo w r n e " into the mr" Cy lu t;f the . higher ranks, and consequently become the means of in. grafting on their character, and of instilling into their minds, the peculiar actions and notions of those classes. It has dissipated that simplicity of nature, humbleness of heart, and meekness of disposition, which ought to be the governing principles in the solemn and sacred thane. ter of a minister of heaven. Ido not myself say that the clergy are incompetent for the performance of those temporal duties, but it is the opinion of those who come in contact with clerical magistrates, that they are supercilious, con ceited of their book-learning, self-opiniated, and possess in general but a shallow and crude notion of common sense, and are too often slaves to the wishes and feelings of those whom they may deem their superiors. That a prejudice does exist against clerical magistracy, be it founded in fact or on false inferences, is sufficient, in my opinion, to authorize the Chancellor to pause in their appointments. The elegy ought, like Cissar's wife, to be above suspicion. They, in the first place, assume the office of soothers of affliction, of spiritual intercessors ; but they adopt that of the stern majesty of justice, and exercise the strong arm and the iron hand that must crush and over whelm the penitent as well as the hardened offender. The severstion of the duties of the clergy of the church of Eng land from those of the sacred office has been the greatest bane to the morals and religious feelings of the lower ranks of society In the provinces; they look upon the reverend justice as one that has lost his " caste." Let the evil be remedied by striking every clergyman out of the commission of the peace. HERALD—Mr. Sergeant Andrews has been indulging in a general tirade against the newspapers of the metropolis, to the no small edification of the good people of Maidstone. The censure or the praise of Sergeant Andrews would be a matter of very little consequence, estimated either by the weight of his character or the force of his talents ; but, as mere impudence is calculated to give currency to falsehood, it sometimes becomes necessary, for the sake of truth Itself, to notice the most empty declaimers, when they misrepresent the character of the daily Press. " Great; said the Learned Sergeant, " is the injury to . private character from the licetitiousness of the Press of the metroltolis." He was prosecuting the Brighton Guardian at the time. Now this lugging in of the metropolitan press on a charge with which it had no concern was duns purposely far display, to show how sore he could feel, like WIC/ great men, who would have cut a more respectable figure if they had kept their complaints to themselves. It is, however, a notorious and admitted fact that there never was a period when the daily press of this country was so free from all personal and slanderous attacks as the present. But there are always& set of little wretched pettifogging politick's" st the bar, ready to copy the defects of men more important than themselves. To be celebrated fur the same virulence against the Press which once distin guished Sir James Scariett, and has latterly seized on Sir Robert Peel, is certainly to approach these eminent persons in one respect ; and we may congratulate their present Hot tator at have already succeeded to as great an extent as ever Nature designed he should do in the imitation of men of taloa.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. _N.._ HOUSE OF LORDS, Amin 4. _ . . The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Affidavits in Chancery Bill; and upon his Lordship moving the suspension of the Standing Orders, The had of ELDON addressed their Lordships, bet in se kw and inaudible a voice, that we could only bear &Gen teel:le occasionally. We understood his Lordship to say that be bad a great objection to the passing of the Bill, which he deemed inexpedient and uncalled for, as the Court of Chancery possessed all the powers require d to be obtained by this Bill. The Court of Chancery was open from t h e Ist of January to the end of December, and had the full power to do all that the Bill would empower it to do. He believed that the Lord Chancellor had the full power and authority to make what order be pleated to facilitate the dispatch of the business of his Court. He (Lord Eldon) bad presided in the Court of Chancery before and after seal days, and never experienced any of those delays that the bill proposed to remedy. His lordship trusted that the Lord Chancellor would attend to his suggestion, sod not press the The LORD CHANCELLOR felt gratified to hear from so high an sthority at the noble earl, the power of the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. He begged to state that there were two parties, the winning and toeing side, and that the losing side was apt and willing to put off a cause, and bad an Interest in stopping the progress of the business of the Court; and previous to his introducing the Bill, he had experienced those efforts. His lordship had consulted with the counsel of the Bar, gentlemen vented in the pec tic* of the Court, and they were of opinion that affidavits could not be read after the seal, and the Registrar of the Court, who said that it was impossible that affidavits could be read after the seal, and that such a proceeding was without precedent. He drew up an order to remedy the evil, and read it in open Court; still parties refused. The first and second causes were called on, and the parties would not appear. It occurred to him that affidavits being filed, conned might raise a doubt, in case the parties hadossemitted perjury, and he considered it expedient to adept die mea sure. He most gratefully acknowledged the Melee given by ' the greatest living authority, that a statute was net requir ed or necessary, under the circumstances. He lashed wpm the authority as great as if it were in the books, anil la est the question quite at rest. If the act was inwespediswa, the Court having the power to regulate its owe prossellega, he was astonished the error was not discovered by the Ragletrar and practitioners. This was the last time that any opposi tion should be given to the :business of the Cunt. The opinion of his noble and learned Mod wield prevent for ever on the part of suitors any aftmV se bassi,' the Court of Chancery in expediting the Wimsdes of justice. His Lordship expressed his determination not to press the bill. The Earl of ELDON and the Loid CHANCELLOR ex. plained, and the conversation dropped. FOREIGN AFFRIIII. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY felt pain in com plaining of a little want of candour on the part of his Ma jesty's ministers towards him, in the answers they gave to the questions he had put respecting instructions given to military or naval commanding officers in Portsmouth as to the reception they were to give to little Donna )dada. noble Earl (Grey) had replied that he did not know what in struction were sent, or if any. He felt surprised, in read ing in an Evening Paper, under the head of Portsmouth, that orders had been received to receive the Queen of Por tugal, or as he (the Marquis of Londonderry) would call her, the little Pretender (laughter) with all the honouri paid to Royalty. He thought that it was impossible that orders could have been sent without the knowledge of the Noble Earl, or:that she could have arrived without his being aware of it. The noble marquis then repeated his question, if any instructions had been sent. Earl GREY did set know upon what ground he was charged with a want of candour, when the noble marquis had put the question on a former evening. Ile then replied that he did not know if any instructions had been sent. He had since inquired, al.d the result was, the. no letter had been written to the commanding officer at Portsmouth, but that a verbal communication bad been made, that when the Emperor Don Pedro and his daughter should arrive, that they should' be received with a royal salute, and the hceours due to their rank. This was the state of the case. He con d.:tuned the course pursued by the noble marquis, in stig. matishig as a pretender Donna Maria, who was received here, and acknowledged by his het Alajesty % as the legit!. mate sovereign of Portugal. Notwithstanding all the im. parlance attached to this question by the noble marquis, he ({earl Grey) deemed the whole matter of little importance, and . considered that the noble marquis had found in the halalltaia what was commonly termed a mares 'nest.— agaghteT. Ttie Ba ri of ABERDEEN agreed that those honours were mete facts of courtesy :due to Donna Mil t. Bat though his late Majesty acltncv. Crown of Portugal, it was for the a eider If she was now acknowledged there was no reason why Henry V !edged King of France. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that his min I was relieved, (laughter) , as there was no andtrstanding that Mona Maria was received as Queen of Portugal.— Three years had elapsed since she was received in tl:i4 country as the legitimate Sovereign of Portugal, and since which period a King had been chosen, to whom the greatam affection was shown by his subjects. With the noble Earl's notion of non-interference, he (the Marquis of Lon donderry) did not know how this young person could b received as Qieen, what his Majesty's alinsters knew thai Portugal unanimously had approved of the King of Portu gal's conduct. The Coal Duty Bill was read a second time. • ••• • • The Earl of ABERDEEN wait requested by his nol4ll friend the Duke of Wellington, who wai unable to attend from indisposition, and who had some remarks to make eu the Coal Duty Bill, to say that be would mace his 04C711 , - dons at same future stage of the bill. Lord AUCKLAND moved the Oricr of the May 1,.• considering the prohibition of the growth of Tobacco Ireland Bill. After 'tome remarks from Lords Tur rritAst,Wicwtow, and FAINHAM, against the bill, and from the Marq•ri LANSDOWN in favour of it, the bill went through a Com mittal. The Earl of ELDON moved for a ropy of the indict ment and all the papers connected with the prosecution ••' Daniel O'Connell, Evq. end others, in the Kings Benc:l Ireland. The noble earl expressed his determination t•t bring in a bill to prevent the ends of justice from !irk , again defeated in similar Cues. The Noble Earl's remarks were quite inaudible. Tl— motion was agreed to. The house adjoarned at a quarter put six o'clock to th:s dey. HOUSE OF CO M IUO NS. Mr. Kivu, the Chairman of the Coleraire Election Cnei - tritmembreteght up the sopeet, swine that Sir Jobe Brydccs want* duly elated mauve in Parliament for that borougi, but that Alderman Copeland was duly elected, and ought t have been retained. The Clerk of the Crown being in attendance, the nar— of Alder Enid Copeland was substituted on the roll for th of Sir Jobs &Ogee, and the Hon. Alderman took the oaths and his sett. Mr. WILLIAMS presented *petition from Centeno ' shire praying that the landed interest should be put on the eamefooting as to the right of voting as rise 101. hosts.- holders. Hr. BUCK pulsated a petition from the freemen of Exeter, praying for the continuation of their chartered rights ; and one from the same place, against capital punishments fo crime against property. Mr. GILLON presented* petition from Linlithgow eons - plaloing of the delay which is made with the Reform Bill, and praying that the House do pass it with all spetd c 0... sistently with the forms of Parliament. The hon. memb.l perfectly concurred in the /lever of the petition. The feelirid throughout the country was that the time of the House wit wasted night after night with frivolous debetcs. let ti e House take care that the spirit of the North he not roused by their proceedings. dlr. WYNN thought it extraordinary that the pettionera should set themselves up as judge* wt the time which t:.e house ought to take in discussing an English Itcternt Biii ; the house were the proper judges of this sohjte - . The moor which it was attempted to raise on thus occr.sion cos something similar to that which might be raised against judges and juries, for trying 50 or 60 prisoners in a dock. Mr. O'CONNELL observed that the comparison between the rotten boroughs and prisoners was just so far correct, as perhaps they might be all criminals—(Laughter.) But ther e was this difference, that the prisoners would not be allowe.l to be judges in their own case, whereas the nominees were. (Hear, hear.) He would mum that the time of the hon.e was wasted by frivolous objections, unfounded in argitmert. He had heard a member make the same speech id lino., OWL (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. W. HONDAS defended the conduct cf the Opprsi. tion. The supporters of the bill woe more de:itient in acry manta than hs opponents. Lord STANLEY thought that the retit loners were jost led in the course which they pursued. *flute was utheely one individual in the house m ho did not feel the inehnce nience of delaying 'the b 11, (rib,. vi no, to); evtn t. opponents of ibe bill could rot nish fo: a reedies, tit hi,. He could see no objtc,icn to the Ix ution being r meld Sir R. VY YY AN did not deem it decent, when the hens* was deliberating on so important a memoir, to hue petits t s presented remarking on their conduct. Ile could hot fe 1 himself attacked by this petition, b.eause he had h intr... refrained from addressing the house. Bel he claimed a rig , ' t for the representatives of those la 'toughs wh:ch were db franchised, to be heard. Mr: (RATTAN a.;Yeed with the ht . me bAronet that the representatives of those placer which were dr.e.tvd by the measure should be heard; but he objec ed !tt 3 few numb: r 4 monopolising all the time of the house, and litchi; them selves up u champions for every borough. After a few words from Mr. t . PELHAM, Mr. D. W. HARVEY observed that the peti loners di not object to deliberation; but they would say that the it:tte of the house war wined withtut deliberation. for wife ly repetition of a sparch by the sane menthir I t quo.* could not be deemed deliberation. He thought that the people of Scotland had as good a right to petition respecting dila s a ii. jeer as the E - glish, for the Soto ch reform bill au dela3.ti in consequence of thin bill being delayed. After a few words from Mr WYNN and llr. O'CON NELL respecting the Anierian independer.ce and the French revolution. Mr. HUNT put It to honourable members whether der discussion in that house was not prolonged fart night, by .Fe proe,edings of the Common Council in bond Ile .hotight that the best way to let the public feeling evaporate wig to receive their petitions, and for that Teasel) hr regretted that the petition from the Birmingham Union had net been re. eared. He trusted that this petiti m would be et ceived. Mr. LEFROY chained, that those boroughs were not treated with as much justice as criminals would be on their trial, for the latter would be allowed the advantage of coun. sel. Rtskles, the judges would lean towatd4 them, where+ s the bribe utilised to hear counsel on behalf of the borough. whiehlwere disfranthised. _ _ Mr:BURGE was su to are such petitio: a, praying to destroy. without de liberation, a constitution which had been the work of ogee. If this meagre wu goal, it could mot suffer by discusahm ; he was therefore astonished to see 1 the supporters of it, who magnified its excellence, object to 1 discussion. Mr. NORTH was astonished that his Majesty's mi. is. ten, who proposed this as s anal measure, should be so anxious to accelerate it without discussion. pankularly as they themselves had admitted that many errors had crept into the bill, which errors they corrected, when their mashes (the people) pointed them out to them. 4a for hiruk.lf, he coosidered It by no means a final MilLlufe. He thought it would only lad to more extensive changes. He wculd ac knowledge he had been disgusted with much of the discus. slots which took place on this subject. Mr. C FERGUSSON was opposed to the use of threatr. He thought the House should be allows d to discuss this and every other measure, without restraint. He would ad. mix that much of the time of the House was nted!essly con sumed in debates, not on the principle of the measure, hot on formal and trivial points. Mr. ROBINSON made some observations to the same effect. Sir C. FORBES would suggest the propriety of &paw log with the forms of the House, and have the Bill puled ail at once, since the supporters of it were opposed to dfs. cusslon, and mot inclined to offer any arguments in favour of it. 1 he petition was then laid on the table. Mr. S. RICE brought in a bill to equalise the duties on wire, which was read a first time. Colonel FRENCH gave notice that he would on Monday next move for a Select Committee, to adopt means to make the House of Commons mote commodious and less unwhol. some. WINE DUTIES. Mr. ATTWOOD, in moving for a rt turn of the qv; r.t:ty of wines which duties had been levied for the last ter.r months, without the authority of law. observed that it wit. fit for the House to know on what authority t he‘e e atma were levied, and when they knew it, it was for them to et. chic what step should be adopted to Nintlicate etc irjoe. lice done to the public. On the 11th of July, the Howe passed a naiades, that it was expedient to make cern. alterations Wilk duties so wines; but the resoiutieet not say when tils ehanga should take place. 'He the e. foes contended ' the . hts Majesty's Oovernmsest ' via not justified in imposing the new duties, .until the lame or the commencement of such dales waswis limed by the Leg la lature.
