IMPSON'S ROYAL ELIXIR of LlFE.—This Mc dicine, from its balsamic and restorative quslities, fully tne rite the above name. It was originally prepared by a Physician of the French Court for a late King of France, and the recipe having been purchased by the present proprietor, is most faithfully ad hered to. Fur flatulence, spasms, or gout in the stomach, its bent licial effects are unrivalled, as it gives immediate relief io such castrt ; and no person subject to those alarming complaints ought to be without it. It promotes appetite, and gradually restores digestion in cases of nervous debility, whether occasioned by a long residence in tropical climates, natural deficiency of energy in the system, or front a too luxurious mode of life ; this Elixir will be found (on a sufficient trial) a never-failing restorative to tone and vigour. Gentlemen who occasionally exceed the strict bounds of tem perance will, by taking a dose of this Elixir, on retiring to rest, exempt themselves from the usual unpleasant effects of such excess the following day. This medicine is also used by distinguished orators of the s2nre, the pulpit, and the bar, as it revives the frame, and restores time voice when painful exhaustion is produced by long declamation ; and at the same time is so perfectly innocent, that the most delicate females and children may take it, without fear or alteration of their accustomed habits. It is sold in bottles, at I Is. each, including stamp, by J. V. Simpson (acting proprietor), No. till, lienrietta.stroet. Coveut•gar den, London ; at the Libraries; ut the most fashionable watering places and towns of P ublic resort ; and by the principal medicine venders throughout the United Kingdom.

CORN LAWS. _ _ ..... The Earl of 311AFTESBURY presented.a petition frousthe Love Mayor and Common Council of London, praxiog that foreign grabitedght be enniitted to a certain extent. ROMAN CATHOLIC •PHIIIITION. • The Marquis of LA NSDOWN, in rine* to Present the petition of those persons who had been member,* of the-Catholie Manch, don In Dublin, said he could hardly place that petition on the taltio without offering some remarks, although it was not his wish, nor did he conceive it to be his duty, to invite any controversial tegu ment on a subject which had often before, and often would again. occupy the attention of their Lordships. Tate petition was placed In his hands in consequence of the loss which the House had sus.- tattled of a Noble Member, whose services were always devoted to the cause of his Catholic fellow-subjects, and who; through the whole of his political life, continued its most able, uncompmmis ing, and disinterested advocate. Hut though the grave had closed over that Noble Lord, as ft had closed over marry great men, who were compelled to leave to others the task of tesping the beneficial harvest of their labours; yet on long as the people retained the sense of equal right, as long as a nureemus population, which ex clusion might unite hot could not diminish, continued to feel (and, God forbid they should cease to feel !) their political disability to he stigma and an injury, so long would the petitions of the people motions to appeal to the mercy and justice of their Lordships. Having said so much of the circumstances under which he pre sented the petition, it was not his intention to detain their Lord ships with any trite arguments. There was one point, however. which his duty to the petitioners required he should• advert to. Under whatever circumstances of irritation the petitioners might labour, there wart nothing objectionable in their language. Ile was sure that even those of their Lordships who were hostile to the ob ject of the petition, would candidly weigh the difficult situation in which the petitioners were Lined, and would not overlook the merit - of their moderation. The petitioners had abstained from all pole mical discussion, which, however fitted to be the theme of instruc tions from the pulpit, or dissertation in literary publications, was not lit to be presented to their Lordships. The petitioners had also expressly disclaimed the doctrines of divided allegiance, which had been imputed to them without sufficient foundation. He hoped their Lordships would bear that circumstance in mind. a circum stance which, united to die number and respettability of the peti tioners, rendered the petition deserving of the most serious attention. lie would only add that he persevered in sentiments favourable to the petitioners, and he hoped that the same sentiments would become every day more generally diffused. The Noble Lord con eluded by moving that the petition should be read at full length. The Noble Marquis presented at the same time a similar peti tion from the Protestants of Ireland. _ . These petitions were then both read at full length. Earl OREV begged leave to call the attention of the (louse to a petition sent from the same body which had entrusted a petition to his Noble Friend. The petitioners could not have entrusted their cause to a more able advocate, and his Noble Friend had shown his prudence by declining to enter into any discussion, and by confining himself to the usual course of laying the petition on the table. lie would confine himself to a similar course, but he would express, in common with his Noble Friend, his firm con. viction, which every year confirmed, that disqualifications on sc. coon. of religion, if not justified by some urgent state necessity, could not be justified by any motives of policy or justice. Upon the abrogation of all such disqualifications depended the welfare and prosperity of Ireland, and with that the tranquillity of the British empire. He believed it inexpedient to enter at this nomeot into any discussion, but he would state what be considered to be , of srmoti importance. that that question must inevitably crate before their Lordships again and again and he looked forward to a time when, brought forward under the auspices of his Ncine Fr end, it would arrive at a happy and satisfactory conclusion. The Noble Lord then called the attention of the House to the petition. The petitioners expressed their deep sense of the injuries which they suffered in consequence of their political disabilities. They stated that they had at various periods had recourse to various expe dients to recover their right ; that they had made use of the Ca tholic Association to attain that end ; that the Association was founded on precedents and on constitutional principles; that the Association had been assailed with unfounded allegations; tine that the petitioners had endeavoured to defend it b; a petition to their Lordships, but had met with no attention. The petitioners expressed their sense of injury in very strong terms. but not in stronger terms than might be tolerated in men in their situation. The prayer of the petition was for the repeal of the law passed re lative to the Catholic Association. The Noble Earl said he should consider his duty discharged by moving that the petition should lie on the table; but to save their Lordships trouble lie would, while on his-legs, present a similar petition from the parish of St. Andrew's, Dublin. He would not say anything of the general objections made to the bill brought into Parliament last Session, relative to the Catho lics; but the petitioners wished the attention of their Lordships to be called to w hat were termed the wings; of that Bill—provisinns which were intended to serve the measure, but which really clogged and entangled it. The object of those wings was to disfranchise a great body of men on a vain allegation of abuse, without any attempt to remedy the abuse, except by depriving the freeholders ot their sights. To that proposition he felt the strongest objection, and he rut not therefore surprised to find that the petitioners, instead of usirg vague complaints, particularised those wings as peculiarly elarmit.g. The Noble Earl said that he felt it hls duty to say so much on be , halt' of men who were seeking the restoration of their rights : no question could come before their Lordships of greater importance ; than that which involved the exclusion of Roman Catholics from the rights of British subjects. The petition was then read and ordered to lie on the table. OFFICES IN THE WEST INDIES. . . Lord SUFFIECI) rose for the purpose of making the motion of which he had given notice, the object of which was to prevent the appointment to official situations of persons having an interest In slave property. His Lordship said he felt the disadvantage of intro. ductile the subject after the eloquence displayed by his Noble Friends near him, on the presentation of the petitions front the Roman Catholics of Ireland. His Lordship stated that his motion was not connected with the question of the abolition of slavery ; and, whatever might be his opinion upon that subject, he did not wish to connect his present motion with it; neither did he wish to enter upon the question of the incompatibility of slavery with the Christian religion, although he could quote the authority of the Colonist, to show that, even by them, it was not always attempted to reconcile slavery with the dictates of Christianity. His Lordship then quoted the Royal Gazelle of Jamaica, of the year 1808, in which it was maintained that., if it was intended to give religious instruction to the black population of the West lollies, they must first be emancipated. 11,9 th respect to the idea of giving compen sation to the owners of West India property upon emancipating their slaves, his Lordship could not approve of it; for the last :ftf years the Colonies were a burden to this country, and he thought it time for the Colonists to contribute something to the support of the mother country ; but. with reference to the present motion, lie wished to state to their Lordships that his object was not to confer civil rights upon the coloured population, but to protect them from criminal wrong. The report of Commissioner Dwarris was suffi dent to prove that no person interested in slave property ought to be appointed as a public functionary in the Colonies. Amongst the evils of slavery was not only the effect upon the slave himself, but also the operation of it upon the slave-owner, whose mind could not be improved by the connexion ; and this consideration was a principal motive with his Lordship in bringing forward his motion. In two or three of the islands something had been done for the amelioration of the condition of the slaves, but the example had not been generally followed. In Jamaica, Sunday labour was not required. In the islands of Grenada and Tobago, the evidence of slaves in certain cases Was admitted. The right of negroes to possess property was allowed in the Bahamas; but the practice of flogging females was not abolished in any of the islands. The non separation of slaves was enacted in two islands; but it was of the administration of the law, such as it was, of which his Lordship complained. According to the reports upon their Lordships' table, there had been 111 complaints mule, before the Fiscal, by slaves against their masters, and the result was that 12 of the complainants were punished, two reteored to their masters, and two of the slaves were redressed ; and, of six complaints which had been made by masters against their slaves, the entire were redressed. His Lord ship then referred to several' cases of cruelty to slaves; amongst others. that of a female in a state of pregnancy. In this instance the driver remonstrated with the manager, whose reply was, give it to her until the blood comes !" This punishment was inflicted on a Friday, and on Saturday (the next day) she was compelled to gn into the fields to work. I; appeared, by the reports, that slaves were often punished, even upon suspicion; and, on one occasion, when the poor slave complained to the manager, the an-i swer was that he would be put into the stocks, and, upon appeal to the Fiscal, the redress was a severe reprimand. 1 Here his Lord ship alluded to many cases of cruelty and debauchery upon the part of managers, and aid in almost every instance the unfortunate slaves were denied any redress when they had appealed in the Fiscal*" His Lortlxbip thought that there was an obstinate mist- Pipi ' Price 7d.. . , • . once to the wishes of this country on the pprt of 'the tame prOp ► ot. tore 7 -he thought - it a blind as well al an.

His Lordship did not wish to raise a damper, but he wished, in every way consistently with thopublic sefetyoe amuse that sort of feeling . which would ultimately lead to an top. partial admini,trationof justice, if not a total abolition of slavery, in all the British Colonite.

Lord ELLENBOIiGU(#I wished that the maitre of the - Nehlo Lord had been met by a direct negative. Whatever was to be done for the coloured population of the Colonies, might be doge moat effectually by the silent operation of Government. Neither Ministers nor Parliament could interfere with she right of pro perty ; and if they were disposed, the nation would never toosellt to ft without giving compensation to such as might eater by the change. Nothing cettld have ammo powerful effect upon ilteelb. dition of the slaves than the example of persons in authority. His Lordship did not wish to alarm the proprietots of slaves; he withid first to meliorate the condition of the slaves, and when they tone prep iced for freedom, he would then compensate their nutieen fir 01 , y hist which they might sustain. Ln-cl e A LTHOR Pl.: was not disposed to go BO far sa aanyotblts in altering the condition of the slaves ; but be would alwaftsup port any measure which would improve it. Lord DUDLEY and WARD assured the Noble .ILandtitfto made the motion, that he had no intention of remarking rti laily upon any observations which might have fallen from hint, nee did he wish to treat the sultkicet before their Lordships with any de gree of levity ; but he could not agree in the repositien of the Noble Lord. to exclude the proprietors of stoves limn hhkited Ist tuitions in the West Indies. Some petsons hod pone so tab to say that they should be excluded from seats in Parliament ; but to this. of routs.... he would be also opposed. Lord ST.

Lord SUFFIELI) was about to make sonic remark, but The LORD CHANCELLOR interfered, and said, the die cussion was quite irregular, as the original motion hid been withdrawn. Their Lordships adjourned at • Quarter -put eight (MI MI. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, Ariull• IRISH MANUFACTURING BILL. Mr. SPRING RICE brought up the Report on the Irish nufacturing Bill, which was ordered to be received, and several amendments were agreed to. CORN EXCHANGE BILL. Sir E. RNATCHBULL moved that the Report on the Cern Exchange Rill behrought ap. • Sir T. BA RING opposed the Bill. He said, that although private property might be encroached upon for the benefit of the poblic, yet it was ircumbent on the proposers of the me tsure be fore the House to prove that they could not attain their object without injuring the interests of the individuals at present in pos session of the Corn Exchange, and also to prove that the measure itselfwas absolutely requisite for the interests of the public. As, in his opinion, this had not been done, he should move as an amend meat that the Report be brought up that day six months. Mr. HUME seconded the amendment. if the present Corn Bs. change was not large enough, he should not oppose the building of soother; but no complaints had been made of that which now ex isted, and therewere therefore no public grounds for interfering with the property of private individuals. Sir J. BRYDGES contended that the measure was absolutely ne cessary., owing to the want of proper accommodation for carrying on the corn trade. 3lr. T. WILSON said that the impression upon his mind was, th..t the corn inarl,,t was sufficiently large, and the enlargement of it would best:tended with great incanvenience,because it would then be filled with j,ditier, and corn-chandlers, to the great dentrnens of the public. Ile should therefore oppose the bringing op of the Report. Mr. C. SJIiTLI said a few words, which were inaudiblein the Gallery. Mr. H. SU3INER said the Corn Exchange was established 75 years ago; since that period the population of London had been doubled, and, of course, some greater convenience Was necessary. It Was true that it was private property, but it could not be altogetliss considered as such, considering that it was used for public put. poses. He did not think the views of the parties who had project ed the new corn market in anLy measure unreasonable, and therefore he telt bound to support the Bill. 11 r. CURTElS.supported the Bill. Sir ROBERT WILSON said that it 'was proved that the pre. sent Corn Exchange was a monopoly, and that there was a bye.. law by which they excluded from the market every person who was not a factor ; thus electing themselves into a body exclusively to supply the metropolis. Every proposition which could in reason t.)o made to gain the' assent of the proprietors of the present Cora Exchange had been offered by the Committee, and had been re. jected. They told then) they would build a new Corn Excbangle adjoining theirs, and only asked for ingress and egress thronelt their premises ; but this they refused, although full indemnity was offered them. Lest any doubt should exist in their minds as to the antiiviency of the indemnity, they were told that they might male their own arrangements, so as to force the projectors to give thefts the fullest indemnification that a jury could deem not unreasona ble. The market was originally built by a joint-stock company. and it cost the sum of 60,000/. It was proposed to pay them the whole of this sum ; and to insure it to thew, it was proposed to peas the Bill for one year only, in order that if the WOOL was not theu paid, they might have their remedy. All these and other proposf dons were rejected, which clearly proved that they were only anxious to support their monopoly. Under these circumstances. be felt bound to give his most strenuous support to the measure under the consideration of the House. Mr. CA LCRAFT said, that the object of the Bill was to taker premises away from persons who held them as private property ; and, because they resisted this infraction upon their property, thy projectors of the Bill now turned round upon them, and said dint they were monopolists. What, however, was the fact? Why, the holders of the premises said, " in the name of Heaven compete with us, if you like, but do leave to us our own premises." Ile could not consent to the grossest infraction of private right,. fbt the sake of benefiting a speculating joint-stock company, with nothing -- more-than problematical public benefits to justify the premed/rig. The propriewrs had no sort of objection to the projectors erecting another corn market, if they chose to do so; but they *could see no just reason why they should call upon there to give up:then , pre mises, or why they should be compelled to do so. Ifs roint.stoek company were to start a national bank in opposition to the Bank of England, would it be reasonable for them to 01,113 t to that House, and not only ask that the House should th em permission to commence operations, but that it shoulder: c t .ompel the propriesom of the Bank to give them up their premises ? Ile was decidedly opposed to the measure. Sir EDWARD K NATCH BULL said, that from the imp** he had made, he felt no doubt but that it would be a measure ire neficial to the public. It had been said by the Honourable Medi. ber opposite (Mr. talcraft), let them go and build elsewhere; but the fact was, the place they had fixed upon was the only proper one for such a purpose. It would be nothing short of madness to ruts all over London for a place for such a building, or to attempt the erection of one, tor instance, at the west end of the town. He should, therefore, give his most cordial support to the measure: convinced, as he was, that the measure would prove beneficial to the public. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that he agreed that an extensism of the corn market was necessary Mr the convenience of thecoen trade of the metropolis. The projectors of the new market had, as fact. purchased the land adjoining the present Coen Exchange, mul all they wished was permission to open a communication from one market into the other, without which it would be wholly useless w aroceed at all in their purpose. He could not see that any,keasosi. ble objection could be ofieved to the measure, which was real** indispensable. lie did not think it fair to vilify any body of mey against whom no improper conduct could be proved. lo fact, no charge had been made against them. Ile thought there reso a ne. cessity tar a larger market, but that should not be algal by in. trading private property. 2dr.
