WARREN, Surgical and Mechanical Dentist, No. 7, Leicester-square, invites the atten tion of the Nobility and Gentry to his unerring principle of supplying all deficiencies of the Mouth, either of the TEETH, GUMS, or PALATES, arranged in Geld, Mineral, or Sea-horse substances, from a single tooth to a complete set, on fair and equitable terms : and he more particularly solicits the consideration of such cases as may have been deemed difficult by others of the Profession. Mr. WARREN respectfully assures those Ladies and Gentlemen who may anticipate pain or unsightly appear ances of gold, &c. that his system of adaptation is wholly unattended by such objections ; and that in most cases, a few hours will suffice for replacing those useful and orna mental substitutes so necessary to the comfort of articula tion, the assistance of mastication, and the restoration of the uniformity of the mouth. Mr. W. continues to Lecture on Dental Surgery, em bracing Cleansing, Stopping, Excising, and Extracting, &c., including the Manufacturing Department, as now practised by the most eminent Dentists in London and Leicester square. PRICE 7D. introduced, he had not abstained from assenting to them, though he conscientiously conceived that they ought not to form a test from the principles of any class of persons for admitting them into office. He had felt a strong objec tion to the introduction of these words on principle; and he now felt disposed to move their Lordships to agree to omit them, from the effect they were likely to have on all persons of the Jewish persuasion. lie would not detain their Lordships by referring to the different forms of words which had been introduced into other Acts of Parliament from the inconvenience felt from similar words, and the measures which had been adopted in former times tel re lieve this class of his Majesty's subjects, in eonsequence of that inconvenience. Nor would he detain their Lordships by referring to the alterations which had been made at dif ferent times in the political situation of the Jews. If he were to attempt to trace the situation of the Jews itt this country, after the Restoration of Charles 11. till the reign of William, he should probably he accused by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack of travelling out of that character which indeed he did not aspire to possess—bat of travelling out of the character and eneroachieg on the profession of the Learned Lord. Indeed he would defy that Learned Lord, with all his ingenuity, to tell what was their actual condition prior to the reign of Queen Anne. Iu the reign of Queen Anne, a deci sion of the Courts settled their condition in the country, and from that time up to the reign of George the Second they were properly regarded as having the same rights as other persons born in the King's allegiance. At that period a new law was introduced, which enabled the Jews to hold offices, and exempted them from taking the Sacramental Test. By the 30th of Charles the Second, that Act which exacted from their Lordships the oaths they took, and the Declaration they made against Tran substantiation, was intended to operate against Papists; and that being its original intention, no oaths of any de scription whatever were imposed on- the Jews, nor were they subject to any Test whatever by the Act of Abjuration which was subsequently passed. This Act was passed in the reign of William the Third, and was intended to ope rate against the adherents of the Stuarts. It was not in tended to keep the Jews out of office, nor did such an in tention ever enter the heads of those who planned it. The single object of that Act was to keep the adherents of the Stuarts, or rather, he ought to say, as there was then a Stuart on the throne, it was intended to keep out the ad herents of the exiled Prince. It might, perhaps, he said, from the occupations which the Jews generally followed, that the Government of King William and of the House of Hanover had been indulgent to them. There never was any intention to keep the Jews out of office; and after au Act had been passed, in which the wards " the true faith of a Christian" were introduced, an Act of the last year of King William 111., the Jews complained of being injured by an Act that never was intended to operate against them, and conse quently it had been subsequently proposed to keep these words out of the Act. It would have been very hard for them to have been injured by an Act that was not intend ed to apply to them, and it would be harder now, were they, by the introduction of words into an Act intended to confer a benefit on another class, to be placed in a worse situation than before. In the reign of George I. when it became necessary to have recourse to harsher measures, by inquiring into the state of the property and the residence of those who were suspected of disaffection towards the House of llanover, a law was passed, by which it was enacted that every subject of the King, who had not taken the oaths of allegiance and abjuration, should register his name, residence, and estate, besides being subjected to other inconvenient regulations. This law, however, he believed, lasted but for one year; and when those who were of the Jewish persuasion discovered that they could not take one of those oaths, owing to its containing the words "on the true faiths of a Christian," they applied to the Go vernment on the subject, and the Government made an ap plication to Parliament ; the consequence of which was that an Act was passed in the 10th of George I. for the purpose of allowing every Jew, who wished to excuse himself from the burthen of the Act, to take the oath, leaving out those words which had previously been objected to.— As that Act was only a temporary measure, and had long since expired, he supposed that the Amendment in favour of the Jews had expired also : the spirit of it, how ever, had not ; for ten or twelve years afterwards, when it was thought good policy to encourage opulent and wealthy persons to settle in the North American Colonies, the Go vernment looked towards those of the Jewish persuasion, and a law passed through Parliament—if he remembered aright, it was in the 13th of George ll.—for the purpose of enabling foreign persona, not Papists, to be naturalized in the colonies—and in taking the oaths of abjuration and allegiance, the same indulgence had been granted to them as in the previous Acts he had cited. Tu-e things were apparent : first, that the introduction of words of this nature had injurious consequences not within the contemplation of the Legislature when they were introduced ; and secondly, that when Parliament had found such to be the case, ithad exercised the power it possessed in getting rid of the diffi culty, and allowing such persons as were aggrieved to dis pense with the words in question—(Hear, hear.)—lt was unnecessary for him to state, that if he were to follow his own inclination, he should move the omission of the words altogether ; but if that course should not be approved, there was another which might be adopted, and that was the in troduction of a proviso in favour of those who were of the Jewish persuasion. For his own part, however— " Liberare anirnam suam"— he would rather move for leaving out the clause altogether, though at the same time he did not feel that there was any irremediable difficulty as to the words, as they certainly did not affect the great object of the measure. He knew that there were some of their Lordships who were of opinion that the addition of those words were strengthening to the Declaration, and that they tended to support the interest of the Established Chureh ; hut he would put it to those Noble Lords whether it was either fair or just to avail themselves of this Bill, which was professedly a measure of peace and of conciliation, to place another badge on the class of men on whom a badge had already been placed which had not been intended, and which caused both incon venience and degradation.—(Hear, hear !)—He was most anxious that his Bill, if he might be allowed to call it so, or, he would rather say, that this great work, should be dismissed without any such consequence attendant upon it; and he therefore hoped that their Lordships would accede to the omission of the words in question ; or if not to that at least to the introduction of a proviso, which might ex cept the Jews from the clause; which, should the former be rejected, perhaps some Noble Lord, on this suggestion, would move. He trusted be need not assure their Lord ships that he offered these remarks in perfect security, and only from the strong feeling that the omission of the clause would be productive of very beneficial effects ; and it was with that he would conclude by moving, that the words, " on the true faith of a Christian," should he left out. The Bishop of LLANDAFF was understood to say, that he was induced by the reasoning of the Noble Baron, to see the clause now in a different point of view from that in which he had originally considered it. It appeared to him that the clause clearly held forth the doctrine that Christia nity was an essential portion of the constitutional system by the law of the land. He should not, however, support the proposition until it should come in a more definitive shape before the House. Lord BEXLEY was of opinion that the Noble Lord's proposition ought to be carried into effect, as the prevailing feeling among their Lordships appeared to be that no class of subjects ought to be placed by this Bill in a worse situa tion than their present. A proviso might be added to the end of the Bill, allowing Jewa when making the declaration to omit (as they did at present) the words " on the true faith of a Christian." To exclude Jews from office by a Bill intended as an act of conciliation, was pouring bitter ness into the cup of gladness. He thought it his duty therefore to give notice that if no other Noble Lord took ay the question : he would himself propose a proviso for carry ing the Noble Baron's amendment into effect. The Earl of ELDON could not but think it strange that after it appeared settled on the preamble of the Bin, and alter it bad been laid down as an indubitable all the Noble Lords who spoke on the question, that the church was an essential part of the Constitution —that a proposition should now be made to admit to civil offices not we .

THE soothing quality of this OINTMENT, applied to Scalds or Burns, (of course disposing them to take on the healing process), is apparent in a short time. The Botanist more particularly is well aware that there are certain Vegetable Productions, possessing anodyne properties, which administered inwardly, or outwardly employed, allay irritation. In this Ointment, now offered to the Public as a sanative, are such introduced To further expatiate on the excellencies of this Vulnerary is scarcely necessAry, as it will amply speak for itself, in a way words ire inadequate to. In cases of Piles outwardly applied, this Ointment will also be found particularly efficacious. Sold in Pots at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., 10*., and 205., by Messrs.

The Reporters were not admitted to-day until half-past five o'clock, at which time the space below the bar was crowded by strangers. On our entrance we found The Earl of lIAREWOOD presenting a petition, as was understood, from the city of London, against the im- portatio❑ of Foreign Corn. Lord MALMESBURY supported the prayer of the pe tition, and said that the Landowners merely required to have their grievances known, in order to ensure them the attention of Parliament _ _ . Several other petitions were presented, but from the con fusion which prevailed below the bar, it was impossible to ascertain their precise object. The Duka of NORTHUMBERLAND presented a peti tion, we understood him to say, from the members of the Chirurgical and Medical Society of London, praying for the facilities of dissection. [The Reporters having been to this time penned up in a corner, so as to render it impracticable for them either to hear or write, declared in a body to the door-keepers that the) would not write a syllable more unless further accommodation were afforded. A Messenger was then sent to the Chancellor on the Woolsack, to inform him of the condition and determi nation of the Reporters. His I .srdsbip was then pleased to order that they should be allowed to enter within a small space between the strangers and the fire-place, which is usually considered to be a passage for the Peers. Here their inconvenience was slightly removed, and they could almost contrive to hear what was said.] Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition from the Catholics of Leeds, praying for relief from the civil dis ' abilities under which they laboured. Lord BEXLEY presented a petition from the Jewish community of London, praying that they might not be prejudiced by the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Lord ELDON presented a petition from certain Pro testants of Armagh (county) against further concession to the Catholics ; also a similar petition from the Dissenters of a chapel at 12rarnley, near Leeds, and from a parish in Berks. Earl SPENCER presented two petitions from the inha bitants of the county of Northampton, praying for the re moval of all civil disabilities on account of religious opinions. Lord RODEN presented petitions from the Protestant Dissenters of Camberwell, and from members of the Grand Jury of Monaghan, against further concessions to the Catholics. Lord KING presented a petition from Roman Catholics in the county of Monaghan, praying for a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Duke of BEAUFORT presented a petition from the Woollen Manufacturers in Dorsetshire, against any further tax on Wool. . . _ Lord LAUDERDALE presented a petition from the Farmers of East Lothian and Lammer Muir, praying for an additional tax on Foreign Wool. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from the Uni tarians of Sunderland against the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Marquis of CLEVELAND presented a petition from Catholics in Durham (county) praying fur a removal of the civil disabilities under which they laboured. Also a petition from the inhabitants of Teasdale, Derbyshire, praying for relief generally, and against the importation of lead. ore. The Duke of WELLINGTON made an observation here, but it was nearly inaudible, we understood him to say that it was not in the power of his Majesty's Govern ment to grant the particular relief prayed for. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from Protest ant Dissenters of Lumley Chapel, Horseferry-road, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Lord GROSVENOR, in presenting a petition from certain Dissenters of Chester, said he was happy that that broad principle of putting an end to all civil disqualifications on account of religious opinions was about to be acted upon, and he trusted that the ulterior moasure of justice— relief to the Catholics—would follow the Bill now before the House. _ . The Earl of ELDON said, that the sentiments uttered by the Noble Lord, clearly demonstrated what effect the pre sent Bill would have. I understood, the Noble Lord said, Lord Grosvenor to say that he would bring the Catholic Question under the consideration of the House in the pre sent sessions. But of this I can assure him, if he does not, I will.—(A laugh.) Lord GROSVENOR explained. Lord ELLENBOROUGH protested against any infer ence being drawn from the present Bill in favour of the Catholic Question. The Earl of HAIUIOWBY was of the same opinion, After some further discussion the Bill for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts was ordered to be read a third time. THIRD READING OF THE TEST AND CORPO RATION ACTS. The Order of the Day for the Third Reading of these Bills was then read, and the question was unanimously put and carried. _ _ A short discussion then ensued as to the mode of pro ceeding, and whether the question for the third reading had been assented to—the Lord Chancellor decided that it had ; and it was also decided that the clerk should read over the side headings of the Bill, in order that their Lordships might propose any Amendments they pleased. The Earl of ELDON declared his intention of proposing an Amendment at page 3, and directed their Lordships' at tention to that part of the Bill. The first clause was then read and agreed to. On the second clause being read, Lord HOLLAND rose, and referred to the passage of the Declaration which begins, " I, A. 8., do solemnly and sincerely declare on the true faith of a Christian ;" and said he did not mean to propose any Amendment to the first part of the clause he had read, but he thought it due to a very respectable and useful class of persons to call their Lordships' attenticis to it, and can didly to state that it was possible the members of the So ciety of Friends might find reason not to be contented with this part of the clause. V.rhen the Toleration Act was passed in the reign of King William, a certain oath was required of the Protestant Dissenters before they could en joy the benefit of the Act. At that period the members of the Religious Society generally called Quakers, as well as at present, scrupled to take an oath, and with the spirit of Ch. istian charity and tenderness towards the conscienti ous scruples which distinguished the great men of that day, they introduced into the clause of the Toleration Act, for those who scrupled to take an oath, a Declaration, from which, he believed, the present Declaration had been partly copied. He did not recollect the precise words, but he believed they were nearly the same as those of the Declara tion in the Bill then before their Lordships. Within a few years from that period, the sante respectable persons who scrupled to take an oath considered that the mention of the Deity in that solemn manner in the Declaration amounted almost to an oath, and they felt the same scruples at taking it. The Legislature, with that tender regard and considerat i on for the consciences of ethers which distinguished it at that period, substituted fur them the words " I solemnly and sincerely declare." He hoped that the excellent and worthy men to whom he was alluding—and better subjects his Majesty did not possess—(Hear, hear, hear)—he hoped they would take this subject into their consideration, recollecting that the Declaration was to be made ad animum imponendia—he hoped that they would look into their Lordships' Journals, and when they found that it had been proposed to convert the declaration into en oath, that it had been proposed to substitute the word " swear " for " declare," and he hoped that the decision then come to would put an end to all objections to make the declaration, on the supposition that it amounted to an oath. If this were an idle speculation, it would he unpardonable for him to take up their Lordships' time ; but as it sensibly affected several good men, it was not foreign to that intolerant per secution whi c h, without any consideration for the princi ples or consciences of others, has, by imposing Tests on them, brought that question before them. It was his earnest wish that nothing should impede the completion of the great and glorious work they had before them ; but it was due to the class of persons to whom he had alluded to take care that they were not placed, by a Bill kindly in tended towards others, in a worse situation than formerly. Though it was not his intention to propose any amend ment of the first words he had quoted, he would have acted disingenuously had he not called their Lordships' attention to the subject. To the latter part of the clause he did mean to propose an Amendment, which was that the word , " on the true faith of a Christian," be left out. He felt, when these words were introduced, a strong objection to them, but not so strong, perhaps, as he ought ; and when they were CONTENTS OF NO. CXXXIX. I.

The result of such a measure would be an attempt to separate the church from the civil Government ; and be entreated then/ to re member the result of such an attempt at a former peniod. Why should the Jews be introduced into this Bill? Vse Jews were left out in the Marriage Act, because, thougit they continued to be every where, they were not acknow ledged as a people any where. If the proposed alteration should take place, their Lordships would in effect be re versing every thing done at the time of the Revolution, and sanctioning the principle that one religion was as good as another, in relation to qualification for civil office, and that the state had no right to require of any man en tering office, what kis religious opinions were. If this was true toleration, he was glad to recollect that he had op posed the proposed Bill in every step of its progress through the House, and he would continue to oppose it to the last.— But after it should be finally sanctioned by a majority of their Lordships, he would then, and not till then, submit in silence. By this Bill their Lordships reversed every constitutional principle established in this country. The proposed declaration might be taken by a Dissenter hostile to the Church. In taking it he would reason thus—" will not when in office use any power I may possess in virtue of my office, to disturb. the Chutch Establish ment ; but I hold myself free, as a conscientious Dissenter, to do that in office which I would have done out of office." This would be the effect of the declaration on the conduct of Dissenters entering office. Now he (Lord Eldon) should ptopoee that to the declaration should be added the words " and as I am a Protestant;" if they were not adopted, all that had been done by former Parliaments to protect the Constitution would be subverted. The Monarch was obliged to be a Protestant, in order to support the Pro testant Constitution. 7he King eat on that throne (point ing to the throne) because he was a Protestant. He bad r e at respect for the o p ini o n of his Noble and Learned Friend on legal doctrines, and looked on him as high au thority. His Noble and Learned Friend had once said he had doubts ttbether persons entering Corporations were obliged to take the declaration against Transubstantiation. But, in order to remove an y doubts on the sub j ect, he ke nn the be d in e g cla a r d a- - se of the Cor oGpodposAiolgmiixghobtyle, i) o tut o r dadg to E a i.u)os tffiwToc offices a n l d i na p u r cb o soptarop Corporations, aa t t l t a oo t z si on edosnte take that nothing ,no for t a i n n u g d i T o a m e v ' e . but he bad a duty to perform, and in performing it he mus t contend, that the Government ought t o be essen tt i o al b l y o a goa Protestant, lifioati o a o n d fo r t that the admission mss oProtestantoffices.Re i Religion ought t him feltts greater. the e greatestdpeacilnar declared respect e o et and affection ; Several Peers having risen at the same time to speak, The Duke of WELLINGTON begged leave to observe that there was no question before their Lordships. Lord HOLLAND, in explanation, stated that Quakers were not now required to make the declaration con , tained in the Act of Toleration, nor could he see what that declaration, as quoted by the Noble and Learned Lord, had to do with the question. His Noble and Learned Friend had talked as if the amendment he (Lord Holland) proposed would lead to all sorts of impiety and irreligion. Surely no other person apprehended such re sults from it. The Earl of WINCHILSEA thought the words " on the true faith of a Christian," quite ludicrous as a security for the church. The Bishop of LLANDAFF spoke to order. The con - sideration of these words was not the question before their Lordships. The Earl of WINCHILSEA continued—The words "on the true faith of a Christian " mind be taken by a person not a Christian, as a declaration containing the words on the true faith of a Jew might be taken by a per son not a Jew. He should move that the words, "on the true faith" be omitted, as he did not consider them any security for the Church. He was willing to do something to relieve the Dissenters, but not to a degree which would sanction the principle that it was a matter of indifference what religion should be professed by persons entering' office. He deprecated the haste with which this Bill was precipitated through the House. He was sure that the support which, he regretted to see, the Rev. Bench had given it, would not give satisfaction either to the Members of the Church of England, or to many true Christians even of other persuasions. For his own part, no rank nor wealth, nor any such consideration, could induce him to support such an injurious measure. The Bishop of DURHAM felt considerable pain Irons the circumstance that he was, in supporting this Bill, obliged to differ from several Noble Lords for whom he en tertained great esteem and respect, and his pain was in creased in not being able to agree with the reasoning ad duced in support of it by its more active vramlnters. He was sorry that the more reasonable Dissenters were not consulted on it, as he was sure many of them were indif ferent about its fate. Its fine, he regretted that it had come at all before their Lordships; but when he considered the number of petitions presented to their Lordships in support of the measure, and that it came before their Lordships recommended by the authority of the other House of Parliament, and the weight and influence of public opinion, he begged their Lordships to remember that him self and his Rev. Brothers were placed in a new situation. The public, in fact, expected the expression of seine deci sive opinion from the Rev. Bench—the main 'point they had to consider was how they ought to act, looking on themselves as guardians of the spiritual welfare of the Church. But there was one great question in relation to the conduct of the Rev. Bench on this subject, which caused all these discussions, and which had not yet been answered : how could they brine themselves to support the sacramental test 2—(Cheers.) ---He confessed he did not know one reason that could induce him to support it—that was his sole reason for supporting the repeal of the Test Laws. If any other Test equally valid should be pro posed, be was ready to vote for it ; and if no declaration had been in the Mill when it came into their Lordahipo s House, be would have been the first to propose one, not withstanding the odium to which lie should expose himself by it.—The declaration proposed was cot quite satisfactory to him—but how could he and his Rev. Brothers on that account give their support to the continuance of a sacra mental test. This point the Noble and Learned Earl (Eldon) had now settled to his satisfaction. It had been iaaid that he and his Rev. Brothers were, in consenting to the repeal of these Acts, lending their aid to the subversion of the connection between the Church arid State ; but these Acts had lain in abeyance many years ; they were al ready inoperative ; how then could the repeal of them bring such danger to the Church ? His Rev. Brothers then were not justly charged with supporting a measure calculated to effect a separation of the Church from the State. The question was not whether they should surrender the fortress of the Church, but whether they should abandon a few weak and untenable outworks, which had long ceased to he of any use as a defence against the external enemy. How ever, he had not so much confidence in this Bill as some Noble Lords had; yet, if he could bring himself to think it conclusive, be should feel much satisfaction. The reason why he had opposed the insertion of the amendment of " the Saviour Jesus Christ," was, first, because he thought it un necessary ; and secondly, because he disliked the idea of making frequent and familiar use of that sacred name. He was, however, sorry that the words, " as I ant a Protes tant," that the dechsra were not inserted in the declaration. The Earl of ELDON assured the Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of Durham) that the oe se n n ppt t ao i lse m Td e es n esteem that he had expressed towards him were a comfort and consolation to him in the course he bad felt it his duty but he could not avoid at the same to pursue that he never could s ufficiently acknowledge. Right Rev. Prelate his extreme sur tttsi:eobf Lylo respect biueecaa a n r ss d e; It was a mistake, however, upon the part of that Right b ß o ev uias P o r o el n a to te o t t o od su w p i l t i but he opposed it hec ho a s ere effectual, he (Lord Eldon) should, under tiois afforded in fact no test at an. He begge d to assure the Right Rev. Prelate that he considered the highest re spect because thatsblahae considered while i n labouring to make that declaration ptime ic was attah at stating e t to t t m a Protestant Constitution, a Protestant Legislature, and a Protestant King, have been opposed by the Right Rev. in the Bill ea Bench w h en he proposed that the words " I am a Pro testant " s hould be inserted in that declaration. He con tended that " upon the faith of a Christian" gave no se curity. The state of the case was simply this—they were giving up the Sacram en t a l T es t w ith ou t receiving any se curity instead ; for as to the declaration in the Bill he did not consider nsider it wort h y of cons i derat i on. Duke of WELLINGTON thought it would be much better if their Lordships would confine themselves to discussing the question before the House; but as a good deal had been already said, before they proceeded to do so he wished to assure the Right Rev. Prelate, that if this were only an incipient measure—if other persons had the intention of bringing forward other measures of a similar nature, or on the same subject—he was no party to it ; but had supported the measure only upon the same grounds with the Right Rev. Prelate. He had not supported it becaus • it had a tendency to destroy any particular system of laws, but he had supported it because it had a tendency to the preser vation 'of religious peace, and because he felt convinced that they would not have the same advantage by doing the same thing in a future year, as they would have by doing it in the present Session. He would now come to the question before the Honee. It was argued that in spite of
