Duni:Bl.lc M EDICIN E. —At a time when the most :on- AmpLible compilations are industriously advertised, with extracts from religious and other paltry periodical works, the editors of which ate ' totally incompetent judges of their real merits, we have pleasure in re commending to our readers a work which embraces in comprehensive, small compass, free front technical obscurities, the late disco. rene?' in medicine, and which, although üblisbed at one-third the price of the systems of Medicine of the present day ; we have no hesitation its stating it is the most complete system of Medicine, -domestic or re. guitar, that has appeared in Europe. We allude to the " Medical Annual" for 1831, by 1)r. It. Recce. The scientific editors of the " Medical and Surgical Journal." speaking of this work, observe, " It contains much valuable recent intumation u 'and will be perused with , great advantage by general practitioners and heads of families. The practitioner of long experience and observation, by comprising the ap proved modes of curing diseases, and preserving health, and all the new discoveries in medicine, particularly the auxiliaries, as various vapour and other baths, galvanism, fumigation, diet, &c. eta renders the public a most important service, and such a work, by not confusing the judgment, is, far more likely to direct the benevolent jind beads of fa milies in the proper treatment of a malady than the vbluminous ones, or those which embrace various theories, such a work is the Medical Annual."—Editors of the Monthly (lazette of Practical Medicine. _ ..- f•:... 0 i Nion.Al o , 3b L 1788. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1831. PRICE 7n. LITERATURE. The Monthly negisine. The Magazines are, we think, rather becomint too much a medium for political discussion, and encroaching on the province of what is fantastically nicknamed the " Dail% Press." The delightful walks of general literature appear deserted. We have no new poets of striking genius, and our old ones appear very lazy, or have forgotten, how to strike the living lyre with effect. The taste, however, n: present, is universally political ; and, considering the na tional cause now to be maintained, it is proper it should he so, nor can we blame the editors of Magazines for cateri:• i : to the wants of the times. Nearly one half of the origina! articles In this Magazine are political essays, ably written, and maintaining sentiments of that ►ranch of the Ultra Tory school, which, from offence with the late Ministry, alinotq merge into the Whig. The "Notes of the Month" are, as usual, smart and amusing strictures on recent affairs. The " Merchant's Clerk, a Legend of London," is a well told narrative, sure to fix the attention of every reader. The " Personal and Political Portrait of Prince Metternich" is a paper of peculiar interest. The Review contains a me lange of well-selected critiques, and the number altogether is such as to keep up the character of the mirk. Die East India Magazine—No. 3. This Number contains a variety of very spirited Articles on subjects of the greatest interest to the Indian World.— The first article—" On the Political Attitude of India,"—is, recording to our view, an unfair appreciation of British go vernment in India. The writer is eloquent, and some of his remarks are correct; but he is too impassioned in his views to be impartial. " The Diminished Consumption of Tea," is an article which we recommend to the perusal of such of our Readers who are fancying that tea may become,by the destruction of the Company's Charter, an article of extended importation. Coffee and Cocoa appear to be ra pidly increasing in consumption to the diminution of tea. " The Constitution of the Home Government of the East India Company," contains an analysis of the Court of Pro prietors. It forgets to state that the boasted advantages of the ballot in preventing corruption, is but feebly illustrated, by what passes at the East India Elections. The article on " Corporal Punishments in India," is an eloquent and justly indignant denunciation of the horrid system of flogging in the army and navy. This article is much to the credit of its author both as to its morale and the ability it displays. " Sketches of Anglo-Indian Society," containing " Life in the Mofussil," and the next article, " Description of a Madras Dinner," are both done to the life, and must be recognized as such by all old Indians. In the department, entitled " Indian Correspondence," there are a variety of articles• from the Calcutta Papers, all interesting. The " Proceedings of Public Societies," and the " Indian Sunimary," are very comprehensive; and, on the whole, the Magazine continues quite equal to its original promise. BARILLA AND KELP. As the reduction of the Duty on Barilla, tended to destroy a native product, by favouring a foreign one, the Kelp Manufacturers lately presented a protest to the Board of Trade, containing among other statements the following graphic description of the mode in which the Kelp estates are let and managed : " Your Honourable Board may require to be informed what is the relative situation of landlord and tenant in the iKelp districts :—A piece of ground, called a Lot, is held by P, each tenant under a lease, and this he is encouraged to cul- Ltlnte and improve • but, with all his skill and perseverance, tatid the influence Of even the best seasons, he can never do more than provide the necessaries of life for himself and his family—stud, in bad seasons, the landlord, in place of re ceiving his rent, is frequently obliged to provide for the wants of the population. In few instances do the Proprie tors draw a direct income from their tenants, but, in lieu of rent, the tenant engages to deliver a certain quantity of Kelp, which he prepares at a particular season, from burn ing the Sea-weeds, which abound to a great extent along the bays and estuaries with which the country is so much indented. The Kelp is sent to market, and consigned to an Agent, who accounts with the Proprietor for the proceeds ; and in this way his rents are received. . " From theunture of this arrangement, and the circum stance that the kelp is sent to market entirely at the risk and disposal of the landlord (the tenants being merely re , quired to deliver the stipulated quantity), it is evident that the stage in the depression of its value nt which kelp must cease to be made, is when it will not afford a return for the labour expendeu on its manufacture, (which, in other words, constitutes the cent of the lot), together.witb the charges in cident to its being brought to market. • At} the inferior de. scriptions of kelp have already fallen below this point, part of the kelp has ceased to be manufactured, and the popula tion, unable to procure other labour, have been driven from their homes. To afford your Honourable Board an idea of the extent to which the population in these districts are in debted to the kelp manufacture, it may be stated, that the inhabitants of the islands of North and South Uist and Ben becula amount at present to about twelve thousand five hun dred, seven or eight thousand of whom could find no other means of support, and must be removed, were it to be done away with. " Of the Kelp at present sent to market, the average does not do more than pay the charges. Any measure, there fore, which would lower its value, must have the effect your Memorialists have stated, and operate its extinction, accom panied with all the evils which must arise from a large popu lation being unable to find employment in any other branch of industry on their native soil, whilst inaunnountable diffi culties oppose their removal elsewhere. The seas and mountains by which they are separated from the low coun try in Scotland, - their ignorance of the English language, —their total want of knowledge of every branch of manu facture not practised in the Highlands, mould tender it im possible for them to find useful employment either in Scot land or England ; and it is wholly out of their power to de fru), the expense of their emigration to America. Under these circumstances, it is evident that if their present means of sitbsistence are extinguished, the most deplorable con sequences may ensue." The following story is in cirenlation :—" When a Noble Lord tendered his resignation, as Lord in Waiting, as Illustrious Person said to him. ' I am sorry to lose you, but I am at issue with the Boroughmongers, and I'll beat them." 1. 4' . 4 ' i V. V, . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. . . • .. HOUSE OF LORDS, Mauest 10. Ors the motion of the Earl of Sitar Tamar, certain standing orders we►e , for the purpose of passing Grosvenor's Harr 11,H. The whiten Debtor's Bill was lead the third time. The Earl LIMERICK presented a petition from the soap ni..nw lecturers of Limerick, complaining of distress. The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition from the ship owner, of Scarborough, in the county of York, complaining of distress, an.l praying relief. Earl CAWDOR presented a petition from Pembroke, for the dboli tiro of the malt tax. Sir A. Glum and other Members from the Commons, brought t the Census (Ireland) Bill, and the Bankrupts' Estates Bill. Alderman WOAD brought up the London Bridge Bill. The Mutiny Hill was read a second time. The Marine Mutiny Bill was read a third time. TIT UE. Lord TENTERDEN gave notice that it ss - as his intention on Tues day next to bring In a bill which would have for object to limit the time of modtues, or compensations in lieu of ti t h es . Th e no bl e and learned lord observed that a mods,. deeimandi required a reasonable commencement. It must extend, in some instances, beyond the me mory of Man—namely, to the reign of Richard the Second; and m a onsiderahle difficulty occurred proving custom from so taily a la ri,sel, the intended measure would ds a seasonable time to which o ght to be limited. Lord FIFE was desirous of hearing the noble and learned lord state more In detail the object of his bill. It was one which involved the ti•hts of the people, sad should be cautiously examined. The bill in -I....duced by another noble and learned lord had been brought in as a humane act,but he did not think it deserved that character. It was a bill to force pentane in prison to give up the property of their la:•ti. lies, without allowing them the opportunity of waiting to obtai., better means of payment. There was something like oppression in such a measure, and hi. hope was, that it might not be hurried through the house. Lord WYNFORD said he was not conscious of having incurred st ,, v blame. The noble lord had misconceived the effect of every-past of hi, bill. Roth the measures he had introduced were brought in before Christmas, and so far from taking any noble lord by surprise, he had frequently expressed himself ready to postpone the consideration of the bills. As to oppression, the only object was to compel persons to ap ply their property to the payment of their debts, instead of living upon it in the rules of • prison. Lord TENTERDEN assured the noble lord he hid DO inten tion to hurry his bill. All he &skid was, permission to read it the first time, and Ly it on the utile for the consideration of she house. REFOAXIIIIIMI NGIIAM PETITION. Earl GREY presented the petition of the inhabitants of Birming ham, med at a numerous meeting, held on the 2d of March. The petitioners prayed, that the measure proposed fur reform in parlLlment might pass into a law. The meeting was attended by not less than fifteen thousand persons, and their lordships well knew that there was no place where the ideas upon annual parliaments and vote by ballot, were car ried to more excess ; but the petitioners in this instance were only use nimous in favour of the measure proposed in the other house of pariii. ment. There was one fact to which the noble earl called the atten tion of their lordships. Although this was the petition of la,ooo per. sons, it was only signed by Mr. Attwood, the chairman. Earl GREY also presented a petition to the same effect, from the Parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, signed by 6,04)0 pentot.s. Also, pc titian., having the same prayer, from the parishes of St. Mary Strat ford; St. Leonard, Bromley; front Dartmouth, in the county of Devon; and two from Burghs in Scotland. The Earl of CLANRICA RDE presented a petition from a parish in Ireland for a repeal of the Union. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from the merchants, bankers, and traders of Birmingham, praying for a moderate re. form. The noble lord declared himself the friend and advocate of moderate reform, but opposed that sweeping reform which many at that tints had so strong a &site to effect. The effect of a sudden inroad upon established institutions must be injurious to the best interests of the community. Several Members how the Commons brought up the Calico Drawback Repeal . Bill, which was read the first time. Report of the Penitentiary Committee was brought up to the Bar. The House then Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Alaacu 10. The house proceeded to ballot for an Election Committee, to try the merits of the petition complaining of an undue election for Tregony. The Committee being elected were sworn at the table. Ma. BAILLIR presented a petition from Bristol, agreed to at a large and respectable electing, in favour of the plan of Reform brought in by ministers. He should oppose that part of the bill which gave ad. dit;oual members to counties, as it would prevent the repeal of the corn lass ; and that part which disfranchised existing electors, which wou.d disfranchise three thousand of his constituents. CALICO Lord ALTHORP moved the third reading of the Calico Dl Hit/. Repeal Bill. The bill w.ts read a third time and partied. GROWTH OF TOBACCO IN IRELAND. Mr. WARBURTON said c commi.tee had sat 01 .he growth of tobacco in Ireland, and af.cr full inquiry had reported on its impolicy, es it could not be continued without a ptotect'on amounting to 1.•200 per cent. and also endangering the revenue. He meant to move for leave to bring in a bill founded on the report of the committee which be hoped would be allowed to proceed to the second evading without opposition. He moved that the house resolve itself into a committee on the tobacco duties. Lord ALT HOE? said he had intended to bring in • bill for the same putpose, but found it impracticable dining the present w mien : but be perfectly agreed in the principle of the measure, and if persons, after what has taken place in that house, embarked capital in that spe culation, they could have no claim to compensation. Mr. F. LF.Witi thought there was no use in bringing in the bill if it was to be opposed on the second reading. He thought the bill was indispensably necessary to the equalization of duty between England and Ireland, and the prevention of smuggling. Mr. RUTHYEN said the Act, if passed. would strengthen the feeling in Ireland that there was a want of sympathy towards that part of the country in the House of Commons. However the question might be disposed of, he was confident the Irish members and the people of Ireland would support ministers in the great measureinf Colonel CHICHESTER said the cultivation of tobacco wa• ext•:n. sive and beneficial in the county of Wexford, sot: he hoped the nt.ble lord would persevere in his opposition to die bill this year. Mr. GRATTAN thought the noble lord acted like a man of feeling in opposing the bill for the present year Mr. H. El AV IS was much surprised that the noble lord who agretd in the principle of the bill, should oppose its passing this year, as every year would irerease the difßeulty. The bill was necessary for the pro tection of the fair trade in England. J EPHSON said lie should oppose the bill, as he was confident the grog th of tobacco in Ireland must lead to a reduction of duty, which would be beneficial to the people. illr. CALLAGHAN thought the reason assigned by the hon. gent. went meanly to prove the necessity of the bill. Ireland, he thought, shoold not be allowed to grow tobacco so long as Kiigland and Scot. land were prohibited from the cultivation. The ineenite was also ne cessary fur the protection of the dealers in tobacco in Ireland. He was confident that the teduction of the duty on tobacco would increase the revenue. Mr. LEADER said the bill would be a violation of the act of union. He thought the noble lord acted with good feeling and good judgment in oppos.tog the bill for the present. Mr. CURTEIS said he thought the growth of tobacco in Ireland should be at once discontinued, or it should be permitted in England and Scotland. Lord OXMANTOWN thought if the growth of tobacco must be prohibited in Ireland, it should be done without delay, which would increase the loss whenever the prohibition should take place. Lord VA LENTIA said the privilege of growing tobacco in Ireland was given by a British Act of Parliament, and its cultivation was gra dually increasing, and ought not to he interfered with —at least not for the present. He should join the Noble Lord in his opposition to the Bill, on the second reading; but he should not take up the time of the house at present, as he knew. after the long debate they had passed through. they must require a little test (Hear, and laughter.) Lord LOWTHER did not see any necessity now, since we had lost the colonies, to legislate for their benefit, and he hoped the benefit of growing tobacco would not be confined to Ireland, but would be ex tended to England and Scotland. Sir K. BATESON also opposed the prohibition of growing tobacco in Ireland, and wished it extended to England and Scotland. Mr. BROWNLOW regretted that the Civil List brought lee ward by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, should have been infringed upon, as the reduction of the duty would have pat a stop to smug gling, and would have equalized the trade by con rtition and he contended, that if the growing of tobacco was to be permitted in In— land, It must in fairness be extended to Scotland and England ; but it was necessary that such a permission must be accompanied with a re tluction of duty. Mr. OOULBURN complained of the plan of conduct pursued by the noble lord who filled the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, us being calculated to excite a prejudice in the public mind against his pet. deeessor. The hen. member entered into au explanittion of the former measures, and 000eloded with expressing a hope that the noble would reconsider the =ware.
