THE REAL PEARL MILK is the only .L Cosmetic in the World that prevents the face, neck, arms, and hands, becoming wrinkled; and what is more remarkable, if a Lady or Gentleman begins to be wrinkled :hrou;11 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 only article that makes the complexion clear, beautiful, and 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 I.zprosy, 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 bare no occasion to rouge, paint, &c. as the best of them is un healthy, and Injurious to the skin ;—therefore Ladies ought to be particular what they use for the skin. as the , Sin is naturally thin and delicate. There are young as well as elderly Gentlemen who arc subject to pimples, and articularly elderly Gentlemen, whose chins naturally get '.'it and begin to wrinkle, and shaving becomes difficult, and vim: cut themselves, but by washing their face with the Real Pearl Milk, or by putting some on the soap when shaving, •L toad of water, it makes the chin hard and plump, clears imperfection' and shaving will be comfortable. Several Ladies h ave d eclared they have spent pounds for articles :ur the skin that are so puffed in the Newspapers, but they found they have been defrauded, as it did more harm to the skin than good; but after a few times using the Real Pearl Milk, they were so pleased with it, as it began to beautify their complexion, and they found the oftener they axed it the more it cleared away the red spots they had been subject to; bat they said it was a pity it is so dear or they would use it oftener. _ _ A Lady of Distinction, about forty-five, has declared tbe Proprietor, about two years ago, after recov e ri ng from an illness, bserved 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 bound the wrinkles increased, but of ate washing ber fate with the Pearl Milk, her skin gradually became smooth r,d even, cud nude her complexion look healthy and youth fah And what makes the real Pearl Milk so valuable to 'Gong Ladies, as well as elderly, when washing with it the tace, neck, bands, and arms, makes them look healthy, f=ir, and beautiful. Kr In short, if the Royal Family, Nobility, and Gentry, whohave not used the Real Pearl Milk, will honour rt aids a trial, they will find it the most valuable article no the toilet. There Ire some Ladies and Gentlemen, no dorbt, who think it impossible for the Real Pearl Milk to p',ssesi the above remarkable virtues, but a trial will con . Ince them of its efficacy.

The Committee of Privileges, to whom the Letter of the Lord Chancellor, stating, "'That be had issued $ War. rant for the COmmtment of the Hon. William Long Wellesley, for a Contempt of Court," and also a Letter from the Hon. William Long Wellesley, complaining of the same, "as being an infringement of the Privileges of Patliament," were referred = and who were to examine the matter thereof, and to report their Proceedings, toge ther with their opinion thereupon, to the House ; have examined the matters to them reared, and agreed to the following Report Immediately after the Committee bad met to examine into the matter which the House bad committed to them, they received a letter from Mr. Long Wellesley, stating that the Lord Chancellor had issued orders not to allow him to attend. This information was confirmed by the evidence of Mr. Butt, the Deputy Sergeant at Arms at tending on the Great Seal, who attended the Com mittee, to state the reason why he had not obeyed the Speaker's warrant. The Committee were, in consequence, preparing to report to the House this obstruction to the exercise of its authority, when the. Lord Chancel lor's Sergeant at Arms, Sir George Seymour, de sired admittance, and informed the Committee that the Lord Chancellor no longer objected to Mr. Long Wellesley's attendance. They, therefore, deem any further observation on this subject un necessary. . _ . As it is manifest that no intention has existed of wilfully infringing the privileges of the House, the inquiry limits itself to the question, whether Mr. Long Wellesley is entitled by those privileges ,to claim his discharge from this commitment ? a question, the determination of which appertains wholly and exclusively to the House of Commons. To assist the House in the decision of this diffi cult and important question, your Committee feel it to be their duty, first, to state the facts as they appear in the evidence, and, secondly, the law and usage of Parliament on such questions, so far as it can be collected from the resolutions end proceed ings of both Houses. 1. Your Committee commenced their inquiry by calling upon the Deputy-Sergeant at Arms for the authority under which Mr. Long Weellllesley was detained in his custody, when be produced the minutes, signed by the Registrar of the Court of Chancery, directing Mr. Long Wellesley's commitment to the Fleet, for " his Contempt," but not par ticularising its nature, and two notes, signed by the Lord Chancellor ' authorising Mr. Lung Wellesley's detention at his own house in Dover-street for a limited time. Your Committee then proceeded to afford to Mr. Long Wellesley an opportunity of freely stating the complaint which had been• referred to them. That statement, together with the notes of the short-hand writer of what passed in Court at the time of his commitment, to which be referred in coofirmation of his assertions, is in the evidence; and though some parts of it appeared irrelevant to the object of inquiry, your Committee do not con ceive it to he expedient to omit any portion of what he considered it essential to his case to lay before them. A detailed, order of commitment, for the con tempt, which was not entered by the Registrar of the Court, so as to render it perfect, till Wednes day the 20th inst. (the second day of the Com mittee sitting) was produced on the 21st, by Mr. Dicks, the Deputy Entering Registrar. Referring to the Lord Chancellor's letter to the Speaker, and the evidence, your Committee are a opinion that the grounds on which Mr. long Wel les;ey is pronounced in contempt must be taken to be those confessed by him in Court, viz. his hay ing removed his infant daughter, than a ward of ,the Court of Chancery, ,bpd having given direr Lions t o the . pemog to whom , he delivered her im mediately to put her out of the jurisdiction of. the Court, and declariug his decided resolution under no circumstances whatever to let his child be under any other guardianship titan his own. That this was a criminal contempt of the Court of Chancery your committee apprehend that no doubt can be entertained. 2. On the Law of Parliament. —The earliest definhion of the privilege of Parliament respecting Arrests is to be found in Lerke's Case, Rot. Pad. 11 Henry VI. No. 67, in which It Is thus claimed by the Commons : " La Previlege de vre Court de Parlement d'estre quietez de touts crests: durant we dit Courte, forlirise pur treson, felonie ou suerte de pees: " and in that of Thorpe in the 31st and 32d of the same King, where, when the question is put to the judges whether Thomas Thorpe ought to be delivered from prison by virtue of privelege of Parliament, the Chief Justices, in the name of all the Justices, answer, " That they ought not to *uneven to that question, for it bath not been used afore true, that the Justices should in anywyse determine the privdew of this High Court of PAM:onset t" and that " the desurminatier and knowlegge of that privileggs be !Meth to the Lades of the Parlement, and not to the Ins. *es ; " and afterwards, " That if any peraonc that is al 'Umbra of this High Court of Parlement be arrested, in Niche cases as be not for treason, or felony, or de silent of the peas, or fur a condempnation badde before the Park meat, it Is used that all such persona shuld be relessed of such arrests., and make an attourney, so that they may have theirs freedom and libertee (rely to entende upon the Par kment." The same principle is maintained in the Lord Crumwell's case, the entry of which in the Lords' Journals, 30th June, 1572, is as follows : " In Parliament Chamber, where the Lords Spiritual and Temporal assembled the day above said, in Anno de. rime quarto Regioe Klizabethe, etc. " Whereas upon complaint and declaration made to the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal by Henry Lord Crum. well, a Lord of the Parliament, that in a cause between one James Taverner against the said Lord Cromwell depending in the Court of Chancery, for not obeying to an injunction given in the said Court of Chancery in the absence of the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, at the suit of the said Ta verner, the person of the said Lord Cromwell was, by the Sheriff of the County of Norf. attached by virtue of a writ of attachment, proceeding out of the said Court of Chan cery, contrary to the ancient privilege and immunity, time out of memory, unto the Lords of Parliament and Peers of this Realm, in such case used and allowed, as on the behalf of the said Lord Cromwell was declared sad affirmed, wherein the said Lord Cromwell, as a Lord of Parliament, claimed remedy. " Forasmuch as, upon deliberate examination of this cause in the said Parliament Chamber, in the presence of the Judges and others of the Queen's Majesty's Learned Counsel there attendant in Parliament, and upon declaration and opinions of the said Judges and Learned Counsel, there hatb been no matter directly produced nor declared, whereby it did appear or seem to the said Lords of Parliament there &ambled, that, by the Common Law or Custom of the Realm, or by any Statute Law, or by any precedent of the said et of Chancery, It is warranted that the person of any Lord having place and voice In Parliament in the like ease in the said Court of Chancery, before this time bath been attached, noes the awarding of the said Attachment, at the end suit of the said Tavernor against the said Lord Cromwell, for any thing as yet declared to the said Lords, appeareth to be derogatory and prejudicial to the ancient privilege claimed to belong to the said Lords of this Realm. Therefore it is, the day and year aforesaid, Ordered, by con sent of all the said Lords in Parliament there aasstnbled, That the person of the said Lord Cromwell be from hence. forth discharged of and from the said Attachment t Pro vided nevertheless, and so Is the minds of the said Lords in Parliament plainly by them with one consent declared, That if at any time during this Parliament, or hereafter in any other Parliament, there shall be chewed sufficient matter that, by the Queen's Prerogative, or by the Common Law or Custom of this Realm, or oy any Statute Law, or suffident Precedents, the persons of any of the Lords of Parliament, hi such ease as this caw of the Lord Cromwell's, ought to be attached or attachable, then and from thenceforth it is by this Order intended that to take place which so shall be sheaved and warranted, as above is said ; this Order or any thing therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding."

The above cases all assert the privilcre of Parliament to the full extent of the ancient claims ; and it might be con - tended on the face of them that they appear even to esti!). lish an exemption of privileged persons, during time of pri- vilege, from being proceeded against for misdonesnaurs. or punished, after trial, by the sentence of any Court of Law ; but, on the 17th August, 1641, the Commons, at a tini•- rence, state to the Lord— "1. That no Privilege is allowable in case of P -A.: • betwixt private men, much more in case of the Pea.: of t. Kingdom. " 2. That Privilege cannot be pleaded against an - 'vent for any thing done out of Parliament, because all i:. • dictmeats are contra pacem Domini fte„tis. " 3.

On the 29th November, 1763, it was resolv: 1 by both houses— . " That privilege of Parliament does not extend to ►l:t. case of writing and publishing seditious libels, nor ought ti be allowed to obstruct the ordinary course of laws in nh speedy and effectual prosecution of No heinous and dangetuu an offence ;" and since that time it bas been considered established generally that privilege is not claimable for ally indictable offence. Four acts have been passed to restrain the privi lege of Pediment in civil suits; viz. 1 ia:ut I. c. 13, the 12 and 13 William 111. c. 3. the 11 Geo. 11. c. 24, and the 10 Geo. 111. c 50 ; but in all of them the immunity from personal arrest ,:f persons entitled to that privilege is expressly re cognized. In consequence of the statement contained in the Lord Chancellor's letter to the Speaker, " that the right of the Court of Chancery to commit, in such cases as the present, is unquestionable, and has been enforced against peers of the realm," the committee bare made every inquiry in their power as to the instances in which such right has been enforced against persons entitled to privilege of Parliament, but without succes : two cases, indeed, appear to have been relied on, but cannot be con- sidered as conclusive. The first, which occurred in 7 Geo. I. and is reported in 1 Peers p. 701, is that of Viscountess Wenman, who, being an Irish Peeress, and at that. time entitled to no privilege whatever in England, was committed for a contempt by the then Lord Chancellor. 'Thu second, that of Lord Roscommon, an Irish Peer, in the 10 Geo. IV. who was clearly entitled to rri vilege'of Peerage under the Act of Union, an ruler for commitment fora contempt was made by the Lord Chancellor, but never executed, or even taken out of the Registrar's Office ; consequently, no op portunity occurred for questioning it in tho House of Lords, the only tribunal which could decide on the extent of that privilege. The case of the Countess of Sliaftesburv, 10 Geo. I. reported in 2 Pears Williams, p 1 in.id some respects resembles the present. The Court there directed a sequestration, but did not att-mpt to commit a Peeress, who had contrived and ef fected the marriage of her son, an infant of the age of fourteen years, without the consent of his guardian. Your Committee having failed to discover any 1:1- stance in which a Member of either House of Par liament has been imprisoned for a contempt (ex - I nept by the authority of the House to which he b. longed) since the early cases above refervd to, which are imperfectly reported, have proceeded to consider this case on the grounds of analogy and of intrinsic merits. The same principle on which it has been resolved by the House of Lords that privilege shall not pre vent the Courts at Law from enforcing obedience to a writ of Habeas Corpus seems to require, by analogy, that the Lord Chancellor should possess equal powers for the protection of the wards of the Crown committed to his charge, and should be enabled to exercise the most prompt and effectual means to prevent them from being withdrawn out of his jurisdiction. The Committee find the right of Courts of Law to commit privileged persona for some highly criminal contempt' strongly asserted by different writers, particularly by Blackstone and Hawkins. Attachment for criminal contempt has been described as a judgment and execution, the con viction of an offender by a Court of competent jurisdiction, and the award of a sentence for his offence. Your Committee therefore conceive thst the pre. sent case falls within the principle under which persons committing indictable offences have been considered not to be entitled to privilege. Under all the circumstances of the case the Committee have come to the following Resolution : Tbat Mr. Long Wellesley's claim to be discharged from imprisonment, by reason privilege of Perlis liament ought not to be admitted.
