In the spring of last year my Aisorder had got.to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e on each arm, and My legs were broke out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very lunch discoloured, and gave me such excruciating 'pain; particularly when warm in bed, as n early to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable state, I 'eras recommended by Mr. J. Thompson; - (who received sn great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the 2fith o. May; in the course of a -fortnight 1 began to receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and Arms were soundly healed -soon after, the sores on my legs healed also ; leaving, how. ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little longer pm severance. in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing . , the shin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going thus becaine, by /our liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my 'lornier cereplaintit--4iave reanvered my former spirits a ud strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having eontinued many moothsi to,the astonishment of all who knew me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of _other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every kelt. lion; in so doing you wiii greatly oblige,.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that he should be most ready to comply with the suggestion if it would not interfere with the Revenue. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. STUART. WORTLEY presented 13 petitions from the Merchants tint) 'Workmen of Bradford and other parts of Yorkshire, apinst the Duty on Foreign Wool. • After a few words from Mr.•CuitlvErr, Mr. Itutorrr, Mr. RICARDO; and soroe.other Members, the petitions were read and ordered to lie on the table. 'THE. SHERIFF OF LANARK. Lord BINNING said, that he had been del);ted to make a statement in' behalf of a Gentleman who conceived that he had been greatly misrepresented by a Noble Al ember of the Ilonse ; ,and when he considered the great publicity that was given to debates, it was , hut natural that a Gentleman.. in such cir cumstances should feel most anxious to correct any undue impression that Might have gone abroad concerning his con duct. The Sh er iff of Lanark did not wish to deny that:Loyd Archibald.llamilton had not lost any votes by the arrange, menta at the election, but this he *nog solemnly declared, that be had not interfered in.the least to poduce any such loss: he had filled the office of Sheriff for the county of hanark dux, . ing the period of twenty-live years, and the general rule he ' bad followed was to fix the day of, election so as not to inter.. fcre with those electors who had Notes to give elsewhere. Ho (Lord Binning) having been acquainted with Mr. Itamilton for several. years, and knowing him to be a Ilan of honour ands Gentletnan,.cOUld not but feel willing to make the state ' ment be had. Lord A. HAMILTON said he thought It Irregular to give explanations in the House to satisfy persons-out of the House of statements which had been made by Members,nor:should he now say any thing on the subject were it not to satisfy the Noble Lord of the correctness of what he (Lord A. II.) had previously stated. The inferences which hod been drawn from his statement by the Noble Lord (Lord Booting) and the She riff were entirely unwarranted by what he had nut in opening the debate on the Scots County Representation, but in the facts which he (Lord A. 11.) had stated, and which he would now repeat, he was warranted in drawing the inferences which lie had drawn as to the partial feeling of the Sheriff. It was necessary to state, that a Sherifr in Scotland was an entirely different officer front a Sheriff' in England —that lie was appoint ed by the Crown, and (he believed) removable by the Crown, and always a candidate for the patronaeo of the Crown. The present and other Lord Advocates woultrconffun bin' in stating that they had begun their career as Sheriff's of Counties, and he would appeal to them whether they of appeinting the same days for different. elections fur ! elec t ? M tioneering purposes r. Hamil ton, the . Sheriff of Lanark, to was open his suspicions, from the open and warm part he had not been in the habit toot in the election, though he was f ree to con f e ss. the . Sheriff of Stirling had appeared to hint to have acted still more im properly than the Sheriff of Lanark. The latter, however, who was from his situation bound to impartiality, had so far forgotten himself that (having c o me i nto t h o Court where the votes were taken) when a p erson w h o h a d supported him (Lord A. Hamilton) had given hi s vote aga i nst him, he cried out'' that is an honest vote," a line of conduct just a s 1111. proper as if the Speaker of the House should call out — " that is a good speech.' After such conduct as this, was he not warranted in drawing -the inference which he had done us to the motives of his acts ? The Noble Lord then stated, that at the Michaelmas Meeting, preceding the General Election, the Sheriffhad declared, that after th e ei eso lution, he should fix as distant a day as phssible to allow all the claimants to vote that subsequently to the Election, when it hall been arranged between the different Sheri - 1114, to fix the County Elections, as follows :—Edinburgh, 30th June ; L a nark, Ist July ; 3d July • Renfrew, 7th July ; 31r. H a milton, the Sheriff Stirlin g,o Lanark, had altered theLanark Election to the 2d, so as to Fin terfere with the Election of Stirling. eeling as he did as to that conduct, he should betray his duty to 1111 1110 f and to the other Representatives of Scots Counties if he declared diet Mr. Hamilton had acted impartially. The LORD-ADVOCATE now rose, but it seeming to be the wish of the House that the business of the day should be gone into, the Learned Lord resumed his seat, and the matter dropped. BURNING_ OF Mr. F. BUXTON said, he litul., a petition to present from a most respectable meeting of the county of Bedford; signed by 2,400 persons, praying the 'louse to interfere to pr event th e practice of Burning Widows in India. When it was known, not froM vague reports, but official documents, that 840 per. sons were burned annually in our Indian possessions, surely some attention was due to the subject on the part of the House. These cruel exhibitions Here accompanied with circumstances of the most revolting cruelty. The son set fire to the , pile which consumed his mother, and the agonies of the eXpiring victims were the subject of indecent jocularity and brutal mer riment. Often, from the poverty of theparties, the fuel was insufficient, and the half consumed victim Was abliised to wait till fuel was procured to complete h er execution . — In one instance the widow of a village barber, whose relations were too poor to rocure a sufficient quantity of fuel, was subjected to excruciating tortures. lie would mention another case, which proved that these horrible sairitices were not al. ways voluntary. A female of fourteen years of age had been induced by her relations to asce nd the fu neral pile, and afterm reainifig upen it for a short time , lier agonies became s o e scape from it. She was b roug h t back by her relations, great, that she effected her and itgaitl placed ,upon the pile. Slie escaped a second time, and ran to a water.eourie, but her rehi. Lions pursued her, anti binding her up in a sheet, placed her a third time upon the pile. She escaped a third time, and then one of the surrounding spectators seized her and cut her throat. Another opportunity would occur of bringing this subject more fully under the consideration of the blouse; and he would only add at present that no danger could possibly arise from prohi biting this practice altogether. It had already been prohibited by every European Government possessing any territory in India—by the French, the, Panes, the Dutch, anti the eortu. guese, and many of the Native Princes had abolished it in their dominions. He hoped the Bight lion. Gentleman opposite WYnn't would take this subject into his serious considera. dun ; if he did not, he,(lllr. Buxton) should certainly bring 1. forward early in the next Sessiefi. Nr. WYNN said there could he no difference of opinion as to the principle upon which the honourable Gentleman urged the abolition, of thishorrible practice. considerable difficulty, however, would attend any practical measure which might be adopted with a view to putting an end to this harlot. Yetis custom.- The cases of successful interference on the part of Fortin powers. to w hi c h the Honourabl e Gentleman hadadverted, ralverteir," - were not parallel,' because an experiment might be safely made in small possessions, which could not be hazarded without danger in so linmense a • territory as that which was subject to Great Britain in India. The practice, horrible' as it was, was not one- of late introduction ; it had existed at least as early as the time'of Alexander the Great, and under all:the circumstances he doubted the policy of legislative interference in a matter which it would be better toleave to the judgment and discretion of the local Government. Mr. llLLME`Ohierved, that the subject had occupied the at. tendon of. the Government in India, and: that as strong' mea sures of prevention had been adopted as could be taken, with_ out interfering with the religious prejudices of the people. By the existing regulations, no widow could be burnt unless by their own free consent. No means of influence or persuasion ought to be omitted to prevent this horrible practice, but be deprecated legislative i n t er f erence, as lik e l y to lead todanger ous consequences. Mr. WILBERFORCE thought there would be no greater difflculty in abolishing this custom than there had been in putting an end to a similar practice under the 'Government of , LOrd Wellesley. Ile was sorry . to find that the practice was increasing, and had extended io places in which it bad not. liirruarly existed. As to,tho,saa,crifices.. being 801ut.44,er,...-hOw pz)uld a sacrifice be called voluntary, where the wretched 'victim was bound d own to the in ta k e to prevent the poSsibility .of escape ? Mr. FORBES doubted. whether the practice .could be put down by any interference on the part -of the Government...— Much might be affected by persuasion, but he .was persuaded that legislative interference would rather increase:than miti gate the evil. The widows 'would equally satisfy - the barba l.ous superstition which. prevailed in India, by being . burned, drowned, or buried alive; and if the existing practice could 'be abolished; the - number of victims was not likely to be di minished. . Mt: MONEY trusted that this subject would be referred to n Committee, and that some measure might be devised for checking this horrible practice. • - The petition was ordered to lie on the' Table, and to be printed. Mr. BUXTON moved for Copies doll Correspondence on the subject of Hindoo Infanticide, and of •all Papers of the 'Government of India respecting that practice. 31r. WYNN feared that the effbtts of the GOvernment of India were not likely to be More etibctual in repressing this practice than they , had been in the case of the immolation of , widows.—The motion was agreed to. SCOTCH JURY BILL. Lord BINNING wished to knoW the day on which the second reading of this Bill would be fixed. He was anxious that as early a day as possible would be named. Mr. KENNEDY said he was as anxious as the Noble Lord that the Bill should not be delayed. It stood as an order of the day that day, and he was not without hopes thut h,: might be able to bring it on to.day or to-morow. The New South Wales Bill (second reading) was fixed for Friday Week. EMPLOYMENT OF_TIIE POOR IN IRELAND- Mr. OW.EN'S PLAN. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from the Hibernian 'Phi. lane Topic Society, praying that the House would take into cOnsidtration Mr. Owen's plan fur the employment of the poor, frith the view of ascertaining how far it could be applied to the einploYment of the poor in Ireland. The Petition w a s f r om a very inspectable body, and as such merited the attention of the Utlase. Upon the merits of the particular plan recommended by . Mr. Owen, he would offer no opinion ; but that some plan which could give employment to the poor in that country was Much . called for, there could be no doubt. • To those who would study the peace of that country, such an object must be of vast importance. He would take this opportunity of asking the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Goulburn) whether he would ob. jest to the appointment of a Committee in, this or early in the next Session, for the purpose of inquiring into the best means of employing the poor in Ireland ? Mr. GOULBURN said, he could have no objection to the appointment of the Committee. On the contrary, he would give such a measure his hest support; but he feared that if the Committee were to employ themselves in considering the yrac. ticability of Mr. Owen's plan, however benevolent Lion of that gentleman might be, they would iind their time not vay well bestowed. At the same time be trusted they might be able to devise some measure which could be carried into effect. After a few words from Sir 0. Norr. and Mr. Clna•rTAN, which were not heard in the gallery, the petition was ordered to be printed. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. GRATTAN wished to know whether it was the inten. tion of Ministers to present any additional pipers on the state of inland. Those already before the Douse were very imper. feet, and confined to q small part of Ireland. Mr. PEEI4 said there were other papers in the possession of Government: they related to details of particular outrages : it was not in the contemplation of Government to lay them before the House. OLIVE, STYLING HERSELF PRINCESS OF CUM. BE R LAND. Sir G. NOEL rose for the purpose of moving that the Peti tion which he bud some time ago presented from the L.tdy calling herself Olive, Princess of Cumberland, should ba re ferred to a Select Committee. About three years ago, this Lady made an application to the Crown for the payment of a sum of money, which she assumed to be due to her under the will of his late Majesty. He was afraid he should find it diffi cult to make himself understood. Though an old Member of Parliament, he was not an old Speaker. He was not one of e.sose who could make a bad cause good by his eloquence. But he believed that this was a gond cause. Whether good or not, however, he had undertaken if, and would go through withit. He had always believed that every Member of the Royal Family was on the Civil List; and that it was not In the power of a Minister to say that a Member of the itoyel I.amily should have nothing to live upon. But here was a Memb e r of th e R oya l Family who had nothing to live upon. Ilow was this matter to be settled ? He had always understood, , hat by the British Constitution there could be no wrong without a remedy. But here was a lady sabring a great wrong, for which she had hitherto no remedy. It was said she was an impostor.-:-if so, it was the business of Minis- ters to protect the Royal Family from her by the exposure of her imposture. But the strangeness of the thing was, that the papers she had offered f or the cons id erat i on o f Government had been neither altogether rejected nor altogether accepted. He would not enter into any .detail of the case, not because be was unprepared to do so, but because be h a d it in command from the Royal Person in question to say nothing that could be considered offensive. lie had it also in command, however, if no good answer were made to him, to say tweaking that would he very strong; both to the Ministers and to the coun try. He should not be at all afraid to do so—fear formed no part of his composition. The lady should not lose her right if he could help it. At the same time, if it were once proved that she had no right, he would immediately give the matter up. No person who treated such a subject with levity ought to sit and vote in that House. To give judgment against any person, without knowing why, would be still further to prove the necessity of the Parliamentary Reform sought by the people. He was one of the People, and if in the event of a .Reform he were not to come into Parliament, he should be very much surprised. But while lie was for Reform, he was by no means for Revolution. " Pitt and the Constitution" had always been and would still continue to be his watchword. But he must say that great blame was attributable to those who had neglected this question. He was desirous and determined to rectify the matter, " lf," continued the Honourable Baronet, feennet find the means of doing it here, I will find them somewhere else—Fleciere ri trequeo Superos, ileherontts inro vebo".,.( Loud laughter.) On the motion of Sir G. Noti., the Clerk read the petition which the Hon. Bart. presented on a former occasion. SirO. NOEL then observed, that perhaps it might be unfit for him to enforce the quetion, if any disposition existed on the pelt of Ministers to grant the Select Committee, lie was ac tuated by the most sincere desire not to do any thing personally offensive to the Royal Family; There was not a man in the whole nation more attached to the Royal Family than himself. Ile had worn the king's button these thirty years. He had been very intimate with his :Majesty. He would put it to his, Majesty whether, when he visited Ittulandshire, he found any part of the popufation more loyal and attached to hie person than his (Sir G. NoePio tenantry Under these circumstances he felt rather embarrassed as to urging this claim to the highest, point of success. But he thought that Ministers were 'bound either to allow the claim of the Petitioner, or to prove her, an impostor. What he wanted to escape from, however,. was, being offensive in a quarter to which he was commanded to spew respect. Ile would therefore conclude by moving, anti he trusted 801110 Hommourrible Member would second the Ina tion that the Petition be referred to a Select Committee to take • Mr. HUME seconded the motion with great plessure,nat be:ause he had any aceuaintanee with the.

The principt4goeund, however, on whicu he supported the :motion for referiing;thia. individual's Petition to a Select Committee was, that she was in possession of documents, , confirmatory of her claim, pur porting to be signed by M r . D unn i ag an d ot h er persons, arse signatures had been proved genuine. One of tho se d ocuments -was his late M a j es ty s will, which she was prepared to prove. , N ;f o omu w isue th uw i n s eisr l etra Ja b d toi y ouilii u 4 -a i. s ltaod i u n ye d ee e rt i t i ber ;; t : creditors were desirmis of being the administrators of the will a , aku r e esi en ec outi ti 6t n t g yn w o l fe n e c th i l i ois n u o agi k t :c it e hi r lee s Other documents. He had seen a document in the Duke, of Kent's own hand-writing, stating that Lord Warwick had teld his Royal Highness the whole transaction, as also that he hid been ordered by his late Majesty not to disclose it until. fter his (the King's) death. The Duke of Kent was so Convinced that this statement wits true, that under his own hand-writing he promised' to pay this woman a certain aim of money ;. thus showing that he beliested her to be the legitimate daughter of his uncle, the late Duke of Cumberland. lie supported* motion for the Select Committee,. as aiiiirding the best means by which the afair could be investigated- , 2- Mr. Secretary PEEL sa id, t h at w h at h a d fallen from the. Ho. nourable Baronet and the Honourable' Gentleman imposed :upon him the duty to be very explicit upon this subject t end at , once to state the facts respecting it. He would prove, to their !complete satisfaction, either that this lady had practised one of the most impudent impostures that had ever been conceived, or that she had been deceived into the line of conduct which she had adopted, by the impositions of others.— . The Honourable Baronet had committal the trifling omission 'of not stating the petitioner's case; and had thereby rendered 'it necessary for him (Mr. Peel) to explain:to the Boost- what that case was. This he would do as shortly as possible. There were two brothers, of the name of Wilmot • the one, -Doctor Wilmot, a Clergyman ; th e o the r , M r . Robert Wilmot. . The lade, who advanced the claims in gnestioa, was the daughter ,of Mr. Robert Wilmot. Proof bud been obtained of her birth, her baptism, &c. For a considerable period of time the lady had been contented with this humble origin. But, in the year 1017, she discovered all at one that she was the daughter, not, of Mr. Robert Wilmot, but of the late Duke of Cumberland his late Majesty's brother. At this time, however, she, did not - neat present, profess to be his Royal Highness's sole and legi timate daughter. In 1017, she only professed to be his itlf gitimate daughter. She presented a Petition: to his Majesty, signed " Olivia Serres," in which she declared that she was an possession of attestations, signed by the late Lord Warwick, and the late Mr. Robert Wilmot, declaring that site was the daughter of the late Duke of Cumberland by Mrs. Payne, wife of Captain Payne late of the Royal Navy, and sitter of the late Mrs.. Wilipot, . and that she hail been born in Warwick Castle: 'Stich , ,was in 1017 the alleged ' filet, of which she said sheaves in possession Of the attestation. In 1819, however, the lady became dissatisfied with deducing her origin from an illegitimete source, and suddenly declared that she was the sole and.cl4tintate daughter of the late Duke of Cumberland, by a daughter of the late• Dr. Wilmot's.— Her allegation in 1019 was, that Dr. Wilmot had a daughter who was privately married to the late Duke of. Cumber land in the year 1767—that (which was Certainly true) the late Duke of Cumberland was married to Mrs. .Horton in 1769—that in consequence his Royal Highness comntitted.'his gamy—for that, as the Royal Marriage Act was not then. in existence, the first marriage was valid, and the second illegal. She also alleged that she was in possession of documents signed by the late Lord Warwick, declaring that she was the oflitpring Of the first marriage, and therefore that she was his Royal Highness's legitimate datigh&r. These documents, however, by some means or other, did not make their appearance until after LordNVarwick's death. Sir 0. NOEL said the fact was, that she did not receive them until after Lord Warwick's death. Mr. Seeretary PEEL promeded. It was another mysterious cireumstance, that none of these documents were produced, until immediately after the death . of the person who wtis said to have assisted at this lady's birth. They all, however, went, as she asserted, to prove the private marriage 1707, and her birth. But then she had to account for her being brought'up the daughter (WAIL Robert Wilmot. This she did in her usual easy manner. She alleged that Mrs. Wilmot had a still-born child, and that she, the petitionor, was substituted f or t lif it stillborn child, and was educated as Mrs. Wilmot's daughter, with an understanding that the real fact should n o t 'bedis. closed until after the death of his late Majesty. It was quite evident that he could not go into all the' alleged proofs of this story; nor would it benecessary to Multiply instances of their falsehood. If he could show that two of the . most material of the documents relied on were fabricated, namely, the will of his late Majesty, and the marriage certificate, it would be quite sufficient to establish the character of the rest. Nay, if he could Prove the fabrication of the last document he had mentioned it would be enough. This Lady claimed 15:,000t. under au instrument which she called the will of his late' Me. jesty, signed June 2, 1774, by his late Majesty, and witnessed by J. Dunning and Lord Chatham. The terms of this - alleged will were rather singular. They were to the following effect : " George It. In case of my demise, I give and bequeath to Olive, my brother of Cumberland's daughter, the sun; of 15,0001. ; and I command my successor to pay her that sum as compensation for her misfortunes." This instrument:pro. fatted to be witnessed by Mr. Dunning and Lord Chatham. Lord Chatham, as theilouse knew, resigned the seals in 1700, and never afterwards was in t Vice. In 1772, he made a speech in warm and direct opposition to his Majesty's Government., In 1775 he moved an Address to the King, praying his Majesty to give Orden for the removal of Gen. Gage frondßoaton. They who knew the sentiments of his bite Majesty on the subject of the American war would find it difficult to believe. that under such circumstances he would select Lord Chathariito be his confident in a private traria:it-don such 413 that in question. In fact, Lord Chatham cominencet: hie speech by saying:.. " As I hare not the honour of access to his Majesty, I trust that by this constitutional ebonite! I may have the oppor. tunity of making known to his Majesty the Miseendueent his Ministers." But there wits another of this lady's documeets, said to he signed by Lord Chatham, of a 4111 more extritii. nary nature. Would the House believe that a man of Lord Chatham's known character would so dishonour himseWas to give under his hand such a statement as the following Ills Royal highness the Duke of Cumberland having suh. jected himeelf to the laws against bigamy, we agree that his dauhter Olive shall be sacrificed, in order that the conaiet of herßoyal Father may never be called in question." It was on the 20th January, 1775, that Lord Chatham moved the Address to the King for the removal of General Gage and the British Army from Boston, yet he was represented by this lady as in about six weeks afterwards, as certifying, tb such a document as the f o ll ow i ng b y D r . Wilmot 'Plus is to costify, that the Princess Olive, the only legitimate child of his R. H. the Duke of Cumberland, commonly called Plive Wilmot, bred up as my brother's daughter, may he Itniityrl by a large anti brown spot of g liver colour on her right rib."' /The laughter of the house, whi c h h a d repeate dl y b ro k en :Verdi during the Right Hon. throlemen's statement, now bectime unbounded.)—Certainly it' WWI net very probable that .I;tird Chatham or Mr. Dunning would he the men selected to ifistu such a certificate as that.
