GENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS.--Tbe fol- ' lowing Letter is an additional and recent Testimony in proof of the peculiar benefit attendant on the use of the Syrup " lialf.Acre, Brentford, Jan. 19. Ilt:lti. b 4 Madam,—Fully convinced of the efficacy of your invaluable medicine, I am induced to make the following case known, fur the benefit of those who may be suffering under similar affliction. 11y daughter had a severe attack of Typhus Fever in the autumn of ' 1824 ; her head was shaved, and immediately after it broke out, and formed an entire scab (so that her ears were scarcely visible), at the Itame time discharging a watery humour all over the head, with a thick matter out of the hole of each ear. After taking a few bottles of the Syrup she was restored to perfect health, in which she still remains; another autumn hiving passed without the least symptom of a relapse. In addition to the foregoing, I cannot but acknowledge that, un several occasions, I have received the greatest benefit from taking the Syrup, but particularly in the case of an ulcerated leg, occasioned by a severe blow. I beg to add, if I can in any way be serviceable, as a reference, in recommending the Syrup, I shall feel it a duty I owe, knowing the efficacy of it in 1 many instances. I am, Madam, your's respectfully.. "W. W. FRANKLIN. " To Mrs. Canham, 52, Berners-street." The great success of this Medicine in Scorbutic, Scrophulous, and Syphilitic Complaints, Pains and Swellings of the Liver, dia. eased Skin and Glands, and all disorders arising from impure blood, is now too well known to require a detailed enumeration. As, however, imposture, like envy, toy dimly follows the heels of merit, and pretensions to Imitate the Syrup, to improve it, or to have discovered something of similar efficacy, may surprise the un wary, and fatally mislead the ignorant, Mrs. Caribou] owes it in gratitude to the public, to give warning of these dangers, and to refer to those proofs of the virtues and efficacy of ber Medicine, to be found in her publications, which surptxs, in number, respects. billty, and authenticity, any 'estimates cola similar kind that have been ever produced. The effects of the Genuine Vegetable Syrup are such as not to interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the animal juices, and simply requires the common restraint of moderation in diet. It is a safe but powerful substitute for slereury, and removes all those diseases which an unsuccessful use of that mituaal occa sions. The genuine Medicine has a label affixed to each bottle, with the signature "M. Cariboo)," in the haul-writing of the Proprietor, by whom it is sold, as it was by her Uncle end her Husband, at 62, Berners4crest, at ISA. a bottle; and, by her appointment. at Mr. Beaks's.

LONG having moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Chelsea and Kilmainbam Hospitals Bill, the House resolved itself into a Committee thereon, when the Hon. Baronet said, that as he had not had before an opportunity of stating to the House the object of the Bill, lie would now briefly lay it before them. Mr. Wyndam had, in the year 1806, intro duced a new system to facilitate the enlistment of soldiers, by which they were allowed to enter the service for a limited period ; that however entirely failed, and when the men had a choice t they invariable chose to enter for unlimited service. The plan which had been devised by Mr. Wyndham was defective in many other particulars. and by its operation brought a heavy expense upon the country. There were at present about 80.000 pensioners who were chargeable on the country, and the expenditure imposed by the plan, which he (Mr. Wyndham) had originated, amounted tc 700,600; by that system a soldier, after having served only 27 years, might appear at Chelsea Hospital and claim a pension, and a soldier discharged from the army at the age of 12, after having ! served the stipulated period, might receive a pension for life. When such persons had appeared to claim a pension he had asked them if they were not in perfect health ? They answered, they were, but that the law entitled them to a pension for life, anti that they only claimed a right which the law had given them. When foreigners were entitled to those pensions they were slowed to commute them, and soldiers serving in the East and West Indies were allowed to count differently from all others ; but what was most extraordinary in the system of Mr. Wyndham was one very , curious and ;fanciful provision he had made, which enabled a I soldier to count one year's absence as two years' service; that was udquestionably as preposterous an expedient as could well be de. riled. Another anomaly of the system was to be found in the modicum of pension which it allowed; for the soldier who re. ceived only one shilling per day while in actu4 service, received eighteen-pence when he became a pensioner. We said he enter tained the highest respect for the talents of Mr. Wyndham ; but he could not, notwithstanding, approve of the system which Imbed Introduced for the regulation of pensions, and which it was his object to amend. The object of the Bill was to consolidate the law, end to introduce some new regulations. He would deprive a pensioner of Chelsea or Kilmainham Hospitals oc his out-pension to ease he became an inmate of the Hospital. The want of such a provision was now felt, and he was confident that It would improve the discipline of those Hospitals if it was introduced. At present there was no such check upon the pensioners, and they conse quently misbehaved themselves, because they knew that when they went out of the Hospitals they were still entitled to the out.pension. Another regdlation he would introduce was, to change the law, which, as it stood at present, made the personating a pensioner for the purpose of receiving his pay a capital offence. The Bill which, was before them would provide the punishment of transportation fnr such a crime, and would award the same punislimeet to the offence of forging a certificate for the same purpose. He had made these statements relative to the Bill, to shew the House the state of the case at present, and the alteration which the Bill was in tended to introduce. Sir ROBERT WILSON said that Mr. Wyndham had intro dueed the Bill alluded to, to diminish the expense of the recruiting service, and to induce persons to enter the service for 3 limited pe riod. He highly approved of the proposed alteration of the law, In making the personating a pensioner, or forging a certificate to ob. tarn his pension, a transportable offence. He thought that com mutation of punishment would be attended with great good. Sir C.SO'NG observed that the Gallant General opposite (Sir Robert Wilson) had said that she object of Mr. Wyndham's Bill was to diminish the expense, but he would ask the lion. and Gal lant General if it had had that effect ; he believed the contrary was the fact. Of those men who had enlisted, not one out of thirty five had entered the army for limited service, and, in his opinion, Mr. Wyndham was totally mistaken in his views. Al'ould that House have supported a law which gave a man, in the vigour of lite, a right to a pension for life, and allowed him to count one year's leave of absence as two years' service? He thought not. and he was quite sure such regulations should not continue to exist. General GASCOVNE said he disapproved of the present sys tem. It had brought on the country an expense equivalent to that of from twenty to twenty-five regiments of infantry. As often as the Army Estimates had come before the House he had declared that the system was a detective one, which threw additional e upon the burdens of the country, and brought a tax upon the public. Sir C. LONG explained. The Report was then ordered to be brought up to-morrow, and the House resumed. CASE OF MRS. ELIZABETH PRIM/AM. Mr. ABERCROMBY presented a petition from Mrs Elizabeth Priddam, complaining of the conduct of the Bank of England, and praying the /louse to interfere to obtain an inspection of certain _documents from the Bank, in which she is interested. He said he would state to the House the circumstances of this case. This per sun had stock to a large amount in the Bank, which had been sold out; the dividends were, however, paid after the stock had been sold by a power of attorney. The dividends having been punc tivilly paid by the banker, no suspicion was entertained of any change in the stock, until the failure of the bank in question took place. It was then found that the stock had been sold, and an ap plication was in consequence made to the Bank to ascertain how that was sold. A private individual, a friend of the applicant, had ascertained that the stock was actually sold ; but when an applies. thin was made to the Bank, by her solicitor, to ascertain how the it was sold, and if the power of attorney was regular, he was refused the means of obtaining that information. and was not able to inspect the necessary documents. The solicitor wrote to the Bank to obtain permission to inspect those documents ; a written answer was returned, acknowledging the receipt of the solicitor's application, and stating, that before the Bank would allow the in spection, the Bank required that she (Mrs. P.) should admit that she did not intend to impugn the validity of the sale. He would ask, what right the Bank had to ma ke such a condition the mire / • co of reference to those documents; a send application was made, and the answer riven to that was, that it had been submitted to the Directors, but th , t, in conformity with their uniform practice, they could rot permit an inspection of the documents, unless an admis sion was made to exonerate the Bank from responsibility. It ap. peered to him that this conduct of the Bank was illiberal and un- lair, and amounted simply to this, dist a man might be &prised of his property by a forged power of attorney, and the Bank will not allow a reference to the documents to move the irregular sale of that stock. It was remarkable, and well worthy of notice, that the Bank had stated it was in conformity with their uniform practice that the application had been refused ; and it surely could not Mr a moment be supposed that such conduct should be allowed to continue. He hoped the House would take the case into considers. umIINIM The petition was then brought up. when • Mr. PEARCE mink some ohservatiope which were quite M andible. Mr. ORENFELL said it wan a ease between the Bank and the politic creditor. ''fie thought the conduct of the Bank highly-ob jectionable; permission had been given to a friend of the Pre' woman, while it was denied to her professiocial agent, tin the ground that the Bank had not been absolved from the respersi- Why of the tranaaetinn. He could not think each a refusal credit able upon such ground ; nor could he think the Bank authorised in opposing the application. The subject was of great itopertnate.— the ppblic debt was in question, and every Milder of public securi ties Was listen:media its decision. The system was a bad one, and ' he hoped the House would put a stop to it Mr. AB-MCKIM BY was anxious to know what would be said in reply on the pert 0( the Bank. An Honourable Member (we believe .Mr. Pearce) had said that the Bank would nut give ex pane information. In this case the only perion interested was the person who had made the application, and therefore there could arise no injury from complying with it t and. is that view he etivid not understand the meaning of an ex parte statement es applied its in the present instance. A bill of discovery' might trove forted a compliance; but perhaps by ex parse ieformighin the Bank meant to say, we will show you the power of alleyliey—you may t o to law (to recover the amount of your Joss) with any one else, but you must not go to law with wt. Hewes quite sure that no me would feel less inclined to act harshly in any inessoce than the I limourable Member ( Mr. Pearce), and he would recommend the case of this unfortunite woman, who was now In a workhouse,. to 1 his consideration. He agreed in the opinion of the lion. Member tor Penryn (Mr.Orenfell), that this was a case Otiailig.taar , _ _see and one between the Bank and the r nblic creditor. e ,— . Atter a few words from Mr. PEARCE and Mr. 01E4 FILL, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. . . EXTENSION OF THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE. Mr. •bitliES • presented a petition from the freeholders of Kinston-moon-Hull, preying that they may be allowed to vote for the representation of the'county of York. He said it was his in tention, if the /petition was favourably received (and be wsw no reason why it shoald not). to bring forward in the course of the Session a Bill to carry the prayer of the petition inm effect. Mr. EI.LICE expressed his gratitude fo the lion. Member for having brought forward the petition, and felt great pleasure to learn it was his intenti.m to bring in a Bill to extend the elective franchise to such places as that from which the petition had been presented. There watt in the county of 'Warwick a place in a saddler predicament, the circumstances connected with which had been several times before the House. • SCOTCH BANKS. Sir .G. WARR ENDER preset... , 4 petitions from Jedbaegh and N?rth Barna, against any alteration in the banking systein of Scotland. EXPENSES OF COM3IISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS. Sir R. • WILSON moved for an account of tavern expenses in curred •by Commissioners of Bankrupts, under =omissions exe cuted in the country dnring the last three years. Ile said that he was induced to move fur these accounts because he felt persuaded that great abuses, prevailed, and he was anxious to eitricate the public from the immoderate expense which attended a commission of bankrupt. There should be, In his opinion, some method de ri►ed tet deal with the abuses which prevailed. ThE SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the names of the Commissioners and Solicitors might be obtained, but there was no means of ascertaining the information which the Honourable and Gallant General moved for. He made some other observations which were not distinctly bean!. 91 . A BERCHOIIni said that he held in his hand * * Bill which contained some information on the subject. It was an ac count of the expenses of one commission of bankrupt. in which there were the following charges for tavern expenses I.—Dinner IL its. ; dinner 31. as.; dinner 51. ; dinner 51. 2s. ; ditto 4/.115.: dititier'airain 41. la.; again GI. dinner 111. ; dinner V. ss. 9d.: ditto Ct. l le.; and dinner again Gl. The entire page was nearly filled with charges for dinners; the remaining amounting to front six t o seven pounds. The expense of the commission altogether was 2000/. It had been objected. to the return of those accounts, that the secretary of commissions of bankrupts would be obliged to write circular letters ; he could not perceive the great difficulty of that, and he thought It would be sufficient compensation for arty inconvenience, to 11-ve before the House correct tertfrds made by the proper officers. He thought the solicitor should not throw any obstacles in the way of the returns being made. Mr. BANK ESirsid that there was a remedy for the abuse, if there was any, in an Act which was passed last Session, by which no such expenses were allowed, and the Commissioners of Bankrupts must perjure themselves if they allowed them. It was quite itn ,!practicable to make those returns, and be submitted to the House that a remedy existed (if that was what was sought for) in the Act of Parliament to Which he had already alluded. Mr. H 1: ME said that if the law was always carried into effect, the case would be altered, but the clause in the Act which had been alluded so was of no service. The Commissioners of Land Tax had brought an expense upon the country of 224,000!. and there were charges made In the face of five Acts of Parliament ; there was a charge of 11101. for a trip to Blackheath and a ball in London. Sir. W. CROKER said that there would be the gee - neat diffi. lenity In procuring those returns. He thought ate ihdter coutse to pursue would be to state an indi yirlital case, ard then to rail upon the Commissioners of Bankrupts fdr a return as to that ease only. The SPEAKER said the House misunderstood its own au thority, if it supposed that that which was said by an Hun. !Member as to the impossibility of obtaining these returns was founded its fact. The parties might be served with the order of the House through the medium of the Secretary to Bankrupt Com missions ; which order he was bound to see was served, even though his name was not specifically mentioned in the order. Sir R. WILSON said, nothing could be more easy than to ob tain the information in the manner stated. The Solicitor of fiankrupui was compelled to keep the papers in Iris own ;testi flexion. Mr. S. BOURNE recommended to the lion. and Gallant Gene ral to limit the returns to the last year. Joe his own part he did not know what use the Hon. and Gallant General could make of the returns if he had them, liar It appeared that there was a law already in existence condemning the practice of which he emu.; plaiued. If there was such a law, he thought the better was would be to enforce Its provisions, rather than to seek to bring evidence of the abuses of it before that House. Air. C. W. WYNN thought the motion of the Hon. and Gallant General went further in its preheat-shape than he intended. Ths motion was for a return of the tavern expenses incurred by the Commissioners of Bankrupts. Surely the Hon. Member dui not wish for a return of those expenses which they had def•ared out of their own pockets. The better way would he to direst a prosecution against the persons guilty of such offences, rather than call upon them for returns upon which prosecutions might afterwards be instituted against them, thus making them their awn ICI . Ll wzrs. Sir R. WILSON explained. lie meant the tavern expenses incurred by Commissioners in their capacity of Commissioners. Ile was willing to confine his motion to the period since the late Acts came into operation, which was in September last. Mr. S. WORTLEY said that, according to the words of the motion, all tavern expenses must be understood whether paid by themselves or nut of' the bankrupts' estates. Mr. LOCKHART 'fished to know if by C'ommiasioneis meant those whose names were in the Lord Chancellor's list, ur only the occasional Commissioners ? Sir IL WILSON said he alluded to the country and not to the London Commissioners. Mr. CROKEII explained. 111 r. Secretary PEEL said that it would he very satisfactory to limit the motion (and indeed it would be for the benefit of the country if all such motions were so limited) to as short a period as possible, consistent with the object which he had in view. The motion was then agreed to, with limitation as to time to September, 1825. CROWN DEBTORS. Mr. 111FME moved for a return of the number of Crown deb.ors confined in the different gaols of the united kiliglom, di-. tinguishing their names, the periods when imprisoned, and thus,a taken in execution—Agreed to.
