The Wonderful Efficacy of MR. LIGNUM'S A NTISCORBUTIC DROPS, Exemplified in the Cure of a Disease of 19 Years' Duration. Nibthwaite, near Ulverston, May 10th, 1820. the year 1799, when about eight years of age, I was attacked with symptoms of a Scorbutic Eruption , which alarmed my parents very much, none of the family having ever before b.-en affected with so baneful a disease. No cause could be assigned for its appearance, except, as it was supposed, the improper treatment of the Small Pox, under which I had laboured some time before, by which the blood had been left in an impure state, which baffled every attempt of profes sional skill to effect a cure, or even to abate ; the suffering I ex perienced for many years, was such that death was looked for ward to as the only relief I could possibly obtain from my miser able situation. Two fingers upon my left hand, and one toe ou nay right foot, were so contracted, that they appeared scarcely half their natural length ; in this helpless condition a bed was erected for me OD the ground fluor by the fire-side, which was my only situation for many years," nay face foul with weeping, and mine eyes the shadow of death," and, as I dimly believed, would be so till nay dying day. After I bad been in this state for about eleven yeah, during which time my stature increased little or none, a neighbour of mine gave me part of a bottle of your Drops, which I was advised to take, but no visible alteration appearing, I considered them no better lan the other medicines I had before taken, consequently perseverance was not adopted, not being acquainted with their real virtues ; but in time I gained some knowledge of theis,in trinsic reetits, and was resolved to persevere. Hope began to glimmer, relief was afforded, my stature Increased, and at length a perfect cure was obtained. It is now two years skate I kft off taking the medicine, and I have had no return whatever of the complaint, the marks only remaining as a proof of My suffer ings. I procured the medicine from the late Mr. J. Soulby's shop, now kept by Mr. S. Tyson, King-street. Ulverstou, but can not curtly ascertain how many betties it took to effect a cure. I will readily answer inquiries on the subject, either person eily or by letter post paid, and believe me, Sir, 'Your grateful and obedient servant, JOHN SA RGENSON.

Mr. kla•ioN, front di* East Inaia Directors;presented a Copy of the Pegulations yassed by the Governments of India in 1814 Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HOLM E SUMNER gave notice, that he should oti Wednesday next move for a Select Committee to inquire into the state of the Orphans' Fond. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW brought forward his promised mo. tion rettaecting the regulations as to the admission ihto office of Attornks and Solicitors. The Hon. and Learned Serjeant oh. served, that by the present Jaw, a service of five sears Clerk. ship was requisite to qualify a Gentlemen for the office of an Attorney and Solichor. In Ireland the law we , generally the same; but a Genrkman who bad taken a degree was qualified by three years service; and the Hon. and Leaped . Serjeant stated his opinion, that it would be found highly beneficial to ' analogize the English law, in this respect, to the taw of Ireland. After paying a compliment to the intellectual acquirements of Gentlemen whose education was completed at the Universities, the lion. and Learned Member moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the effect cr the present law on this subject, and to state the ,expedieney of till proposed alteration. he Hon. and Learned Serjeant added, that it would be proper the Com mittee should be empowered to take evidence upon oath.—The motion:vias agreed to. Mr. BENNETT presented a Petition from an individual cf the name of Meek, a Publican, formerly residing in St. John's lane, Clerketiwell, coinplaiulug of the injustice and injury he had sustained from the conduct of certain l.icensing Magistrates.— The Honourable Member said he would, on Friday, call the at tention of the House to the prayer of the Petition. Mr. HUME moved for Accounts of the quantity and value of Stationery furnished to the Houses of Lords and Commons. and to the Public Offices in England. during the lasttltree years, distinguishing each year; also, for a Return of the Number of Ships, and their Tonnage, which have cleared out during the last year, from the different ports of England, Ireland, and Scot land, with Passengers and Convicts on board, for New South Wales, the Cape of Good Hope, or any of the American Colo nies, distinguishing Convicts from Passengers, and stating the number of each, The Horunrable Member also moved for an Account of the Expenses of Printing for both Houses of Parlia. punt fur the last three years, distinguithingeach year.—Ordered. Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a Petition from the Coal Trade and Shipping Interest of Leith, complaining of the decay of Trade. TIMBER TRADE. General GASCOYNE said he wished to put A question to the Right Honourable Gentleman . oppo. site (Mr. Wallace), upon that part of the subject'un. der the examination of the Foreign Trade Committee which relates to the importation of Timber. The 'gallant General wished to be informed whether it was in contemplation to extend the period of the existence of the present Law respecting the importa tion of Timber? Mr. WALLACE answered, that the 'subject of the gallant General's question was at that moment under consideration in the Committee. Ho (Mr. Wallace) admitted that it was desirable to prolong the existing `Law; but he should conceive it by no means desir able that the prolongation should extend beycnd the month of July nest. The gallant. General appeared surprised at this observation; but the fact was, that it was considered proper to meet the present neces sity only, and not to enter into a general question. General GASCOYNE expressed his surprise at the shortness of the proposed extension. He certainly could see no good reason why the time in question should not be prolonged to six months from March. Mr. ELLICE deprecited any discussion 'on the subject, in its present shape; and; after a few words from Sir ISAAC COFFIN, the conversation dropped. THE QUEEN. Colonel WOOD presented a Petition from the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Brecon, which he stated to be numerously and mo s t respeet ably signed. The Honourable Member st a ted, t h at he could not agree with all the prayers of the Peri-. tion ; but, as it was couched in respectful language, he conceived it to be his duty to present it. The Pe titioners. first declared their loyalty to. the Constitu tion. To that loyalty he was proud to say he could bear testimony. They then deci.ireti their condem nation of the proceedings against the Queen, and the erasure of her name from the Liturgy ; they com.: plained of the effects of the present Financial System, and of the expense of contested Elections; and they concluded by prayir: . ; for change of-our National' Councils,, in the dismissal of the present Ministers-- (Hear, hear! from the Opposition). In this last part of the Petition he could not agree; for he conceived that it was to the Councils of the present Ministers we owed our present blessings—(Lafighterlioas the Opposition benches). The Honourable Gentlemen might laugh at the word blessings; but he could as, sure them, dint although he admitted our distresses, he conceived our distresses would be greater if the country were governed by the Gentlemen opposite_. Vicar, Iti•ar! . Irom the Treasury Gene/rev). Ile bad, theretOre, no hesitation in saying, that in a choke of. two evils, he decidedly preferred the present Ministers, The Petition was then brought up, lead, and or dered to lie on the table attd be printed. CONDUCT OF SHERIFFS. Mr. BEAUMONT said, it would be in the recol lection of the House, that on Friday last a Petition s,, as presented by the Noble Member for Chester, • complaining of the conduct of the Sheriff of Cheshire at a Public Meeting. Similar complaints had been made of other Sheriffs; but it was not his intention to comment on the character of any particular indi vidual, but to propose a measure to the House to prevent a recurrence of such circumstances as those complained of by the Petitioners; and to lay a fouls dation for such a measure, he should propose that the Petition be referred to the consideration of a Com mittee.
