IMPORTANT DISCOVERY, AND BENEFIT TO MANKIND. HUMPHRETSCiMOMILE PILLS. A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti mable plant, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri fies and cleanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invigo rates the constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea, heartLurn; an d i n a ll cases of indigestion,headache, stomachic, bilious, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is personally superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense sale in the locality of his residence is the best proof of its efficacy. A scientific and laborious research for the benefit of a private patient and valued fr'end led to its discovery; its wonderful properties induced the Proprietor to extend its salo for the benefit of the afflicted. Without descending to the quackery of saying it is a cure for all disorders, yet the virtues of the camomile are so skil fully extracted and combined with other invaluable medica ments, as to render it the most perfect remedy discovered for the above disorders. t z.o"' Observe the genuine have the Proprietor's name writ ten on the Government stamp in hi; own handwriting. The publie may depend upon getting the medicine genuine from the usual Wholesale Patent Medicine Warehouses, and from the following appointed Agents:— Hannay and Co., Oxford-street; Spurr, Oxford-street; Sage, Whitechapel ; Kent, Blackfriar's-road ; Reynolds, Bethnal-gt cen ; Cox, Borough; Beatson, Dockhead; Hands, Duke -street ; Lloyd, Maida-hill ; Griffiths and Bland, Pen ton-street ; Yate, Hoxton ; Cullen, Walworth ; Leare, Peck ham ; Onidge, Deptford; and Russell, Blackheath.

S Manhood a pp roac h es , t h e h uman f orm, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra "pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, croating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob.. structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the Unexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been eflectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison. and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, ethether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empy ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should re stem; and, on the other hand, that unworthy . 1 principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrassment °tithe aftiicted. All classes of society, the Angle-Indian particularly, and those whose constitutions are enfeebled by the effeots of a tropical climate, as e Has such as are about to enter int matrimonial life, are included In the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the ! 4 result of many years' successful practice. Daily attendance is given for personal conrultat!on'; and immediate answers are returned to country 'letters which must minutely de -1 scribe the case, anti contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant-- 2 4 No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.

POOR-LAW COMMISSION. On the motion of the Earl of REDESDALE the Poor-law Commission Bill and the Population Payment Bill were read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Monday. The Expiring Acts Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. , EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL. Messengers from the House of Commons brought up the Exchequer Bills Funding Bill and the ExChequer Bills Appropriation Bill, which were read first time, and ordered' to be read a second time on Monday. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Oct., 2. The SPEAKER took the Chair at TWelve o'clock. •CRAWFORD presented a petition froiiiihe.iilm and spirit - merchants and grocers of Bally. - money, in the county of Antrim, Ireland. The peti tioners complain of a clause introduced into :a late Act, prohibiting persons in Ireland holding a retail spirit license in conjunction with a grocer's license ; and state that no such restriction exists in England or Scotland. The petitioners pray that the said law be untended, and that they may be placed on a footing of equality with the spirit trader in England and Scotland. EXCHEQUER BILLS FUNDING BILL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. WILLIAMS said he wished to be informed by the Right Hon. Gentleman whether the whole amount of 5,000,00(1. had been funded, distinguishing the amount subscribed in Exchequer Bills, and the amount sub scribed in money. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that • the amount subscribed altogether amounted to 3,644,1:1001. ; but he could not tell the Hon. Gentleman what portion had been subscribed in money, and what portion in Exchequer Bills. Besides, the information could be of no use, inasmuch as die parties might make up the money in either way, as they should find it the most convenient. Mr. WILLIAMS said that if the whole amount of three millions and a half should be subscribed in Ex chequer Bills, the Right Hon. Gentleman would, in that case, fund more Exchequer Bills than he had originally intended. In looking at the present state of the Money Market he did not see any necessity for reducing the present amount of Exchequer Bills. The last returns he had, seen stated-that the amount of interest upon Exchequer Bills was 2p.• _ • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was only 2i-d. He could not then state what course the Government Might find it more advantageous to take, as he would thereby influence the Money Market. The Government would adopt theplan which they found least burdensome to the public. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. . EXCHEQUER BILLS (APPROPRIATION) BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, this Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. E. TENNENT gave notice that he should, early` next Session, move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to designs in = anufactureF. Mr. HAWES—As there was no partieular business before the House, he would, take the opportunity of ask ing- a question of the Right Hon. Baronet the. Secretary Ter the Home Department. Some time ago the Sixth Report of the Prison Inspectors had been laid on the table of the House. He (Mr. Hawes) had carefully gone through that Report, and he found matter in it which .was well deserving the attention of the Secretary for the Hume Department. He considered the accounts there ' given showed there had been some gross violations of the law ; but having called the attention of the Hon. Baronet to the fact he would not press it further, as he was assured it would meet with instant redress. Sit...JAMES GRAHAM was glad that the Hon. Member had mentioned the subject, because he was quite aware that the Report in question contained matter worthy of the most serious attention.' -He had not had time to give it the attention that was due' to the subject, but he had issued instructions to the Inspectors of Prisons to furnish an Appendix to their Report, calling his atten tion to such parts of it as showed any violation of the law—what, according to law, was subject to the control of the Secretary of State—.:and thirdly, what, in their judgment required the interference. of the Legislature.

The unavoidabl.e consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselc.o, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the roost distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. Te quote passages from the work in prof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The' result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful malshdies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Cr.rtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. Ter u: s s t a of lAlessrs. Curtis's book entitled " M an h oo d," I has a astonished us by devel(pinga series of m a l a di es , th e sequence n ever-failing co sequence of ti)i really perusal o treats. The clea r connexion point e ed vicious habit o f w hi c h i t c ause and the e ffects is percepttbleout between the assigned strongly recomrtumd the work.—Age. to every capacity. We The multitude of b loks daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a ~ eery questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the. c haracter given of this w or k by an i friend, we ventured to open its pages, and n ow feel nontelligent hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified.

LORD DINORBEN'S CASE. Mr: ARNOLD z said, this is the case' of a party who claims to be pl ace d on t h e li st o f vo ters, for the city of 'Westminster, as bein p os se ssed of the qualifications mentioned in the 27th section of the Reform Act (2 W. 4, c. 45) which enact s , " Th at i n eve ry city or borough, . g which shall return a Member or Members to Serve in any future Parliament, every male person,' of full age, and not subject t o any legßineapacity, who shall occupy, within such city or borough, &c., any house. &c., of the clear yearly value of not less than 10/. shall,' if duly .re gistered according to the provisions hereinafter contained, be entitled to vote in the election of a Member or Mem bers to serve in any future Parliament for such city or borough." Then folloW the provisions that. the oc cupier must be rated to . the poor's-rate, and have paid such rate, and the assessed taxes, and have , resided for a cert a i n ti me e i t h er i n t h e c ity or within a' certain distance thereof. By the 44th section, the over seers of parishes in every city arid borough are required to make out a list " of all persons who may be entitled, by virtue of this A c t, to tote in the election of Members for such city or borough. By the 47th section, it is enacted that every per son , omitte d in: such lists," who shall claim to ha ve hi s name i ns e rte d th e rein, as having been entitled on the last day of July then next preceding," may give a notice of claim according to the form set out in the schedule, by which notice 'the' party claims to have his name inserted in the list of persons entitled to vote in the election of Membera for the city. And by the 50th sec tion, the Revising Barrister . is required to insert in the lists of voters " the name of !every person who shall be proved, to his satisfaction, to haVe begii entitled, on the last day of July then next preceding, to hare his nanie inserted in any such lists of voters fors:such city or bo g rough." Now it appears to me that the effect of these enactments is, that I k akught not to insert in tbe . lists the, , Detstie of the presentsssaiumants:'ihiless it i s proved to m y satisfaction that he is entitled to vote at an election of Members for this city. It is admitted that the claimant has a sufficient qualification under the 27th section of positiv e requ i s ites there stated; is a Peer o f the realm, and was so butth e i A t N c v t a , s a proved r regards r d s that all b t e he on and before the 31stoflast July; and as such has sat and voted in the House of Lords. The important question, therefore, that I hare to decide is, whether a Peer can vote at the election of a Member of the House of Com mons, or whether he falls within the exception of the 27th section, and is "subject to any legal incapacity" in that respect. The gentleman who attended on behalf of his Lordship to enforce the claim, informed me that his Lordship was already on the list of voters in two or three of the Welsh counties, and that in one of them the question had been discussed before the Revising Barrister, who had admitted the claim. I should have been glad if I could have been furnished with any note of that decision, that I might have seen the grounds upon which it was formed ; but in the absence of any such assistance, I must form my opinion in the best manner I can from a review of the constitutional law upon the subject. I was reminded in the course of the argument that,there is no statute by which a Peer is incapacitated from voting in the election of a Member of the House of Commons. Nor is any statute necessary on the subject, for if a Peer of the realm is not qualified to vote, such disqualification will arise from the law of Parliament. There is no statute that I am aware of by which aliens are disqualified from voting at elections, or from becoming 'Members of Parliament. There is no statute —at least prior to the Reform Act—by which women are disqualified from voting. Again—there is no stn= tote by which the Judges of the Superior Courts of Conimdn Law at Westminster are disqualified from be= coming Members of the House of Commons. But all these are well-known and undisputed doctrines of Parlia mentary law. There is no statute even by which Peers of the realm are expressly disqualified from being elected Members of the House of Commons, but the bare enunciation of such a propOsition is sufficient to shim , its absurdity ; but it may be carried yet one step,further, by observing that there is no statute by which the So vereign of the realm is precluded from voting for a Mem ber of Parliament. Into the law of Parliament, there fore, I must look fur the. doctrine upon this subject. Reference was made to the Sessional Order of the House of Commons, declaring, " That it is a high infringement of the liberties and privileges of the Commons of the United Kingdom for any Lord of Parliament, or other Peer or Prelate, &c., &c., &c., to concern himself in the election of Members to serve for the Commons in Parlia ment;" and it was contended that this Order of the House of Commons could not have the force of a law, inasmuch as that House, being only one branch of the Legis-' lature, could not mae a law—that even if it had such . force, it • would only be of efkct during the Sessions of Parliament, and that its power would expire upon a dissolution; and that, at any rate, whatever vali dity this resolution might have, and whatever penalties a Peer might incur by reason of infringing it, digress- . chisement was not necessarily among - them. With re-' gard to the observations that the House of Commons can not make law, it is a plain and self-evident proposition, for laws can only be made by the Queen and Parliament —that is, by the Queen, the Lords, and Commons ; but the power of declaring what the law is in any particular case, is of necessity vested in various tribunals, as the power of declaring the common law is vested in the Courts of Common Law, and the power of declaring the law of Parliament is vested in either House of Parlia ment respectively, and most particularly is the power of declaring the law of Parliament, with re gard to elections of Members of the House of Commons, vested in that House, as the peculiarly appropriate tribunal for. deciding upon such matters. And if it is found that the House of Commons have come to a clear and express resolution upon a subject re lating to election law, that resolution is, in my opinion, binding upon every other tribunal, and most especially upon a person sitti ng in my situation, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters for returning Members to that House ; and I cannot perceive that such a resolu tion loses any of its force or effect from the circum stance of the House bringing it before the public notice at the commencement of every Session. If this, how ever, were the only resolution of the House of Commons on the subject, I should, perhaps, feel some difficulty in knowing how to apply it to the case of a Peer voting at an election, and should doubt, perhaps, whether it was intended to apply to such a case, or only to the prac tice of unconstitutional and positive interference by a Peer on such occasions to influence the votes of others. That such was its original scope and object appears, I think, from the first instance of such a resolution, which seems to have been - passed as early as 1641 (20th Dec., 2 Com. Journ. 337), and was directed against Peers interfering at elections, by sending letters to boroughs, directing them whom they should elect ; a Somewhat similar interference to that recorded by the historian Walsingham, on the part of King Richard the Second, who is stated to have called the Sheriffs, Jus tices, &c., to Nottingham, where it was proposed to the Sheriffs that they should not permit any Knight of the county to be chosen to the Parliament but such as the King and his Council should appoint, unto which the Sheriffs answered, " That the Commons would keep their old customs, which will that the Knights be elected by the Commons."—[Ypodigma Neustrim, fo. 531, Part x ; cited Whitelock, vol. i, eh. 42, p. 383.] — But whatever may be the effect of the resolu tion in question, it does not appear to me to be necessary now to consider it, inasmuch as in the year 1699 the House of Commons came to a dis tinct resolution that no Peer had a right to vote in the election of Members of the House of Commons. The circumstances which gave rise to this resolution will be found in the 13th volume of the Commons' Journals, and were briefly as follows : On the IGth of November a pe titions was presented by Win. Fitch against time return of Mr. Irby Montague for Malden, iu Essex, Mr. Fitch being a candidate ; and this petition was referred to the Committee of Privileges.—(l3 Corn. 'Journ. 5.) On the 14th of December following, a' Report from the Com mittee was brought up, in which the evidence was de tailed. It appeared that " it was- insisted on behalf of the petitioner (among other things) that fire voters, among whom was the Earl of Manchester, which steed upon the sitting Member's poll, might not to 'be allowed as good votes for him." And it was p: owed that the Earl of Manchester had voted for the sitting Member ; after. setting out the evidence relating to the other votes, the Kingdom Resolved, Report concludes b y a resolutio n of the Committee, that Mr. Montague was duly elected, and this resolution was adopted by House upon a division by 171 to 96; and then e n mine contradi elie,bath' any right to give his vote in t he election for any MeMber to serve in Parliament."—(l3 Corn. Jour n . 63.) This' reso l ut i on appears to hav e been ado p ted a s a standing resolution t follows tbut uutphieserentryof thrs of the House upon the meeting of a new Parliament in 1700 (13 Feb., 13 Coln, Journ. 326), ands is, I believe, to be found as a regular sessional resolution from that time to thepresent, in exactly the same words, except that, from the time of the Union with Ireland, an addi tional sentence was introduced relating to Irish Peers, which it is not necessary to notice in this instance. Now this appears to me to be a distinct. adjudication by the House of Commons .upon the subject, of which in the situation I now occupy, I think I am bound to take cognizance; nor, I may add, would the rule be unknown to me, looking at the matter merely as a common lawyer, for I find the resolution imported as a Proposition of law by C. B. Comyn in his Digest. Tit. Parliament (D. 10). But although such is my own opinion as to the binding validity of these resolutions of the House, there appears to have been something in the nature of a doubt thrown upon them by no less an authority than a Com mittee of the House itself; for I find that in Lord South well's case, Droitwich, (Knapp and Ombler, 69), where the question was a s to the valic ity of the Vote of an Irish Peer, not being a Member of the House of Coininons (who, for the purposes of the present argument; stands upon the same footing as an English Peer), the Committee came to a resolution " That they were of opinion that there was no statute under which the Barrister could have ex cluded from the list the name. of Lord Southzvell, but feeling themselves called upon to enforce the Standing Order of the House against the interference of Peers at elections, they struck his name off the poll." Without seeking to impugn the authority of this resolution Inlay, I think, without impropriety, ooserve—First, that the absence of any statutory prohibition on the subject af fords, as I have already taken occasion to remark, no proof of the existence of the right ; and secondly, that the attention of the Committee seems only to have bean directed to' the resolution against the interference of Peers. and that they do not notice the resolution expressly negativing the rigli t to vote. But still I cannot lielpconsider ing this resolution as an intimation by the Committee that the Revising Barrister was right in leaving the name of Lord Southwell on the list ; and I therefore feel, if not exactly called Upon to du so, at least justified in .briefty ' giving my reasons why, upon constitutional grounds, I consider a Peer has no right to vote in the election of Members of the House of Coinmons. The Parliament, it is well known, consists of the King, or Queen Regnant, as the head, and the three Estates of the realm as Mem- • -- hers, which three Estates are-Ist, the Lords Spiritual.; 2dly. the Lords Temporal, who both sit together in one. chamber with the Sovereign ; and 3dly, the Corninow, Who from a very remote period of our history have been an elective body,,and have satin a chamber by themselves. The very designation of this representative body, namely,. thaHouse qf Commons or the Commons' House of Parliament, would be alone a sufficient indication that they were elected by and repusented the commonalty of the realm, and not the Peers, who are a distinct and separate body from. the ConimOns ; but there is abutdant authority, from Blackstone lip to the earliest' writers, that such - is the case. [ln 1 Blackstone, p. 158, it is said, " The Ccm mons consist of all such men of property in -the kingdom as have not seats in the House of' Lords, every one of which has a voice in Parliament, either personally, or by his representatives."] [Crompton in his Jurisdiction o f Courts, 26, says, " In the Lower House sit the Speaker, anti the knights of the shires, and of cities who are counties of themeelves, and other citizens of Cities which -are not-counties, - and the burgesses of towns, and the barons of the cinve ports, who (with a clergy who as semble in Paul'S) represent the body of ell the common- aity of England."] [L4d Coke in 3 Inst. 1, has the following pass li ge, " The third estate . is the Commons of the , Realm, wheteof there be knights of shires or counties, citizens: of !cities, and burgesses of burghs.. All which are respectively' elected by the Shires or Counties, Cities:and 3tirglis, by foree of the king's. *it, ex debit° • justifier, and, none of them-ought to he - omitted ; and these represent All the Commons of the whole realm, and trusted for them."] Indeed the very language of the Royal writ directed to the Sheriff for the purpose of electing Members, points out that the Knights who may be elected for the county, " for themselves and the commonalty of the said city, &e. &C., may have full and sufficient power," &c. Whiteloek, in his learned treatise upon this writ, has several passages that are extremely pertinent to the present subject. He says—" To begin with the Lords, the chief members of our public councils, it is undoubted that they have their seats and suffrages in our Parliaments, not by election of the people, but by birthright of primogeniture." Vol. 1, c. 41. p. 367 ° and again—" And although the Peers of England are not elected by the people, yet they were all at first chosen by our Kings, and have been invested in that rank of Peerage, either by holding land of the King by the tenure of a Barony, or by being summoned: by the King's writ, to be Mernbers of the Lords' House in Par liament, or by being created Lords by the King's letters patent; as hath been noted. And they are not capable of being elected Knights, Citizens, or Burgesses to serve in Parliament; for the writ commands the Sheriff to cause Knights, Citizens, and latirgesses, not Dukes, Earls, or • Barons, to be elected."—(lb. p,. 376.) And he then re fers to the case of Lord Camoys, who " being a Baronet and a Baron, was elected Knight of the Shire for Surrey —(7 Rich. 2.) —and the King by his Council, declared that election to be void in law." And afterwards, in commenting upon the words " Knights,Citizens, and flar gesse.s," he says:—" These are the representatives of the Commons - of the whole kingdom, and are all of them of the rank of-Commons."—Ch. 61, vol. 2, p. 4. And, again, " The difference between the constitution of the Lords and Commons in Parliament is this :—The Lords repre, sent themselves only; the Members of the House of Com mobs are there for themselves, and for all the commonalty of the several places for which they serve."—ld. ch., 75, p. 87. And in . .another passage he says, "It is a great trust reposed in the Knights of Shires to have the power of the..whole commonalty of a- county .of many thousands of people conferred on them. So that whatsoever these Knights, with the rest, shall do and - consent unto in Parliament, cloth bind all the commonalty, not only of the county for which they serve, but of the whole king dom. And because the Members of the House of commons have power for the commonalty' of the several counties • and places for which they serve, therefore they are frequently styled the commonalty, that is by representation they - are the commonalty, and their acts are the acts of the commonalty,' from whom they have .their Tower, and who are bound by them." And then, after referring to some old Acts of Parliament in which "the. common alty" arc men,tiohed, he adds, " The like is to be seen in sundry , other Acts of ourP.arliament, where, becauSe the Members-of the House of Commons do represent and are empowered by the commonalty of the several places for which they serve, therefore their Acts are called the Acts of, and do bind the commonalty of, the whole king dom."—Ch. 66, vol. 2, pp. 88-9. I might add innumer a4orities- to the same, effect ; . but 4 only sub join two passages from Lord Coke,•which"apWar to me to be strongly in point. The first is from 4 Inst. p. 4, where he says, " Commons are in legal understanding taken for the frank tenants or freeholders of the counties." The terms of this passage might seem not expressly to exclude Peers, but the author immediately adds, " And whosoever is not a Lord of Parliament, and of the Lords' House, is of the House of Commons either in person, or by representation, partly coagmentive and partly representative." And the other from 2 Inst. p. 29 : " The general division of persons by the law of England is either one that is noble, and in respect of his nobility of the Lords' House of Parliament ; or one of the Commons of the Realm, and in respect thereof of the House of Commons in Parliament." I have been betrayed, perhaps, into an unnecessary length upon the subject, but I was most anxious to give the matter the fullest consideration in my power, partly in deference to the intimation of the Committee in Lord Southwell's case, and partly from some expressions of opinion I have met with which seem to point in another direction. Thus, in Mr. Elliott's book . on the qualification and registration of electors, there is this passage, " When the Members of the House of Peers were first excluded from voting at the election of Members of Parliament does not exactly appear. The returns preserved by Prynne show that, at an earlier period of our history, they exercised that privilege." The passage in Trynne is not referred to. I have devoted a consi derable portion of time to searching the writings of that learned and voluminous, but not very methodical, author, but have not been fortunate enough to meet with the returns alluded to. Nor do I think that " drawn," as they are stated to be, from " the earlier period of our history," when the constitutional rights and privileges of the House of Commons were hardly settled, they would affect my present view of this case. There is a passage also in one of the speeches of Lord Redesdale, when Speaker of the House of Commons (referred to in Mr.Rogers's work on Election Law, p.lo2—last edition) in reference to the resolution of the House, after the Union, that Irish Peers should not vote unless they were Members of the House, which is certainly de serving of notice. His Lordship (then Sir John Mitford) said, that the policy of this resolution had been much questioned, 'and that Peers who. were so much interested in motions of supply and- taxation, ought to have votes for Members of the Commons, with whom such motions originated.—(7 Woodfall, Deb. 236.) Now of the fact were that such motions not only originated with the Commons, but that they had the power of making laws on the subject, binding the Peers, there would be great weight in the observation of Lord Redesdale ; but inas much as the Commons cannot bind the Peers in any matter of supply and taxation, the House of Lords always having a veto on Bills• relating to such matters, the . reason seems to be altogether insufficient to invali , date the policy of the resolutions in question. Independently, therefore, of that resolution, I con ceive that from the principles of constitutional law the following conclusions may be drawn : That the House of Commons represents the common alty of the Kingdom alone ; that none but a commoner is entitled to vote for a Member of that House ; and that, inasmuch as a Peer is not a commoner, he is not entitled to vote at the election of" a Member - of the House of Commons. It follows, that as I can only insert in the list of voters the names of parties who are so entitled to vote, the claim of Lord . Dinorben, being a Peer, must be disallowed. Mr. ARNOLD also gave judgment in the case of Wel bore Ellis Agar, Lord Normanton, &c. LORD NORMAN TON'S CASE. This case stands upon a very similar footing with the last. It was an objectipn against retaining his Lord ship's name upon the list of voters, by reason of borne supposed want of qualification. The qualification was, however, established in all respects ; but, in the course of the investigation, it transpired that his Lordship was an Irish Peer, and was not a Member of the House of Commons during the last year. There is no doubt that before the Union with Ireland, an Irish Peer having a sufficient qualification, might have voted for a Member of the British House of Commons, and it was con sistent with all the principles of the Constitution that he should do, otherwise he would have been unrepresented in respect of his property in this country, as he had to voice, either personally or by representa tive, in the British House of Peers ; in other words, he was a commoner in. Great Britain, not being considered in law as an alien. By the Act for the Union of Great Britain and Ireland (39 and 40 Geo. III:, c. 67), the 4th article provides for the election for life by the Peers of Ireland of twenty-eight Lords Temporal of Ireland, " to sit and vote on the part of Ireland in the House of Lords of the Parliament of the United Kingdom." It was also declared that any Peer of Ireland not so elected to sit in the House of Lords " should not be disqualified from being elected to serve, if lie shall so think fit, or from serving, if he shall so think fit, as a Member of the House of Commons, but such Peer so long as he continued a Member of the House of Commons was declared " not to be entitled to the privilege of Peerage, nor capable of being elected to serve as a Peer on the part of Ireland, or of voting at any such election" (that is at the election of any Peer) ; and that in all proceedings civil and criminal lie was to be proceeded against as a Commoner. And it was further declared that " the Peers of Ireland shall, as Peers of the United Kingdom, be sued and tried as Peers, except as aforesaid, and shall enjoy all privileges of Peers as fully as the Peers of Great Britain, the right . and privilege Qf sitting in the House of Lords, and the privileges depending thereon, an d th e r i g ht o f sitting on the trial of Peers only excepted. Now the effect of these articles is this=-that all IriSh Peers who are not Members of the House of Lords are to be considered as Peers of the realm for all purposes ex ce pt th a t . o f sitting and voting in the house of. Lords, and except also that they are eligible as Members of the "Muse of Commons ; but it .is only in the event of their being so elected, and think- ing fit to serve, that they lose their oharaeter and privi lege ef-Peers, and become practically commoners. It would follow from these premises, and from the princi ples laid down in Lord Dinorben's case, that an Irish - Peer,' not being a Member of the House of Commons, ,could not vote at the election of Menibers of the House of commons ; for if he does not sit personally in the House of loids, he has a voice there by representation, and in accordance with this' view, the House of Commons after the Act of Union,varied the terms of their sessional order as follows:—" That no Peer of this realm, except such Peer of that part of the United Kingdom called . Ireland, as shall 'for the time being be actually elected, and shall not have declined to serve for any county, city, or borough in Great Britain, hath any right to give his .vets in the election of any Member to serve' in Parlia ment." Which resolution, of course, must be taken to 'refer only to Members of the House of Commons; inas much as the Act of Union empowers Irish Peed to . 6 . their votes in the election efiimeMemb ers t o sMe House of Lords in Parliament. Now thi s i s th e case~of an objection, and by the 50th section of the Reform Act it is enacted . that where the party objecting shall appear in support of his objection, the Revising Barrister " shall require - it to be proved that the person so objected to was entitled on the last da3 of July next preceeing to have his name inserted in, the list of voters for such city or horOugh, in respect of the qualification described in such list -; and in case the same shall not", be proved to the satisfaction of such -barrister, - or in: case it shall be proved that such per Son was then incapacitated by-any laW or statute from voting in the election' of Members to serve in Parliament, such Barrister shall expunge the name of -every such person'froin the said lists." Now, considering that Lord Normanton stands in this respect on the same footing as an English Peer, - and that for, the reasons stated in Lord Dinorben's case, he is " a per son incapacitated by the law of Parliament," from voting in the election of Members of the House of Commons, am of opinion - that his Lordship's name must be expunged. DUDLEY 3IONTAGUE PERCIVAL'S CASE. The Learned Barrister also gave judgment in this case, ordering the name of Mr. Percival to be retained on the list of voters. Mr. ARNOLD also gave judgment in the cases of Thomas Fitzburgh, Henry Beauclerk, John M‘Mahon, and Henry Trott Fisher, ordering their names to be re tained on the list of voters for St. George, Manover square. The claim of Mr. Robert A. Watson was disallowed, sir. ;Tames Brent's claim was allowed. The Learned Revising Barrister then proceeded with the futther revision of the lists for St. George's Hanover square. In the course of the day, Mr. Arnold intimated that he should, if possible, proceed with the revision of the lists for St. James's Westminster, on Monday.. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's grand plea for his present refusal' to propose measures for the country's good is, ". that he is without the information that official_ power alone can bestow," and which it is absolutely necessary 'for built° possess before he can afford the relief that he promised ; or must at least have been held to promise virtually, he would on his accession to office at once ad minister. Now this is not a very honourable plea to be urged by a.statesman who; for a long series of years, has devoted his whole attention- t o • pulic affairs ; but we must admit that the defence which Sir R. Peel. has put upon the record, his Grace the Duke of Wellington has fully borne out by his evidence. If the illustrious mem ber of: the Tory Cabinet, whose . anomalous position of a seat Withouran office is typical of the whole body who are advisers of the Queen, without advising her—if, we say, theignorance of the Duke as to what should be done is shared by all his colleagues, we must at once allow not only - their self-acknowled ge d unfitness to biing for ward any measures for the next six montha, b u t we w ill even go 'further, and express a doubt whether six years' meditation would be sufficient to qualify them for per forming in these difficult times the duties of Government. The Duke of Wellington, who has already distinguished himself by the laying down of two or three dogmata re markable-for their positive tone and their superlative unseasonableness, thought proper last night fto declare, ' that though distress necessarily prevailed in .some parts of the country, he was quite sure that there Was no dis tress from want of. food among any portion of the com munity. We confess that, even after the allegation of ignorance, and. the - demand of tithe for inquiry, which the 'Tory Ministers 'have put forth, we -were somewhat, ,startled by an assertion, from one so justly distinguished tuueupt them, which bespeaks such a frightful necessity for information as is exhibited in the sentiment uttered' last night - by the Duke of Wel- . lingten. lie admits there is distress, but he will not allow it is occasioned by want of food. What on earth, we would ask his Grace, brings thousands of poor fa milies within the walls of the workhouses ? For if it is . not want of food, it must, we suppose, be want of so ciety, or an insatiable appetite for workhouse fare—not to supply a necessity, but to gratify a taste for parochial cookery. STANDARD.—The Poor-law Commissioners are tyrants, to put an end to the Commission without making any other arrangement would be simply to 4 b embalm their tyranny." It is proper to repeat it, that the Bill passed last night is not a Bill to prolong the New Poor law ; that is already a permanent law ; but to pro vide for its continued administration until Parliament shall decide upon the course to be pursued with respect to it ; and were the Bill resisted by Mr. Fielden to fail, the' only effect must be a kind of posthumous administration of the law by the present Commissioners—an occasion, questionless, of much confusion, but of more cruelty—for of late the Commissioners have been compelled by public opinion to abate, however reluctantly, the rigour of many of their regulations. Mr. Fielden could not wish that a power which has recently been exercised chiefly in mitigating its severer regulations, should be extin guished at once without any substitute to exercise the same power of mitigation. Had the question before the House contemplated the continuance of the law, instead of contemplating only the con tinuance of the Commission, it would still be a question whether an unqualified negative would be the proper mode of meeting it. A great part of the efficacy of the old law, which old law we agree with Mr. Fielden in thinking to have been grievously calumniated, rested upon habits and associations obliterated during seven years. These habits and a sso c i a ti ons canno t be re stored, and it would be no less impossible to destroy at once the other habits and associations by which they have been replaced. COURIER.—The recent intelligence from America is of a more than usually interesting character as regards this country. M'Leod's trial was to have commenced on Monday last at Utica, and from the anxiety of the federal Government to defeat the object, when it failed to silence the pretensions of the sovereign state of New York, and to remove this cause of dispute between the two Govern ments. there seemed but little doubt of M'Leod's ac quittal. But the point really at issue between Great Britain and the United States' Government—for with the State of New York we had nothing whatever to do—was not as to M'Leod's participation, or non-participation in the destruction of the Caroline, but as to the ame nability of M‘Lcod to an American tribunal, for an alleged share in an act authorised and avowed by his own Government. And what complicates the affair still more, and sharpens the insult offered to Great Britain, is the feet that the Federal Government, through its accre dited minister, had months ago disavowed the claims set up by the State of New York :of its competency to try M'Leod, and admitted that he was not amenable to American law, and therefore not triable by American juries. His acquittal under such circumstances, although tending to allay excitement, and diminish the , chances of an immediate rupture, will Le far from offering a solu tion of the questions at issue between the two countries, or from reconciling Great Britain to the outrage offered to her honour and dignity. We agree with a Morning Contemporary in thinking that the great acknowledged fact that a British subject, avowedly not amenable t o an American tribunal, has actually been put to trial, in volves the. honour of her Majesty's crown as much as if he were sentenced to death. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. POST.— Our attention is called to a subject which has not, we think, been sufficiently reflected on by the dif ferent Railway Companies in operation throughout the country. We desire to bear testimony, to the fullest ex tent, to the zeal and spirit displayed by the managers of this novel and rapid mode of conveyance, which are not we believe to be surpassed. There is, however, a point connected with their proceedings that should not be overlooked by Railway Boards of Directors. It is to be borne in mind that the Acts of Parliament, by virtue of which railways have been constructed, arc concessions not for the benefit of the projectors solely, but for the good of the p u bli c , w h ose i nterests may b e c ombined with have those of the parties to whom the privilege may h been granted. It i s , we repeat, importanto e la .co that this principle should be kept in view. But observations have been addressed to us on the management of i certain lines which furnish good reason to doubt f it is in all cases. It is, for instance, represented in that of the Brighton Company, that the convenience to us, onvenience of those who reside between the termini has not been adequately considered ; and it' the charge be well founded, as it certainly'appears to b e, we shall be ren dering a service to the Company b y pointing out the circumstance ; nor can we question that a remedy will be afforded. The practice more p a rticularly complained of relates to the regulation of h th e m leaves Brighton at a quarter before sevf O ntn e the morning - , and another at half past eight. The , latter x stops nowhere on the line except at Croydon. The next train starts at a quarter before eleven, so that, for four hours, people living intermediately along the line ha ve no communication with the me tropolis although trains are passing their very doors. Tins] is a hardship to which exoeption is in cur opinion justly taken ; and when the reason for the want of _accommodation is considered, ;it seems so • _ puerile that 'we wonder -the Board of Directors should have made so ridiculous an arrangement. The non stopping one is (ilpified with the title of " express trail)," and is made to perform the distance in -One hour and three-quarters, whilst the train stopping at the principal stations does the journey in five hours. The quickest journey performed by the common stage toad' was in from five to five-and-a-half hours, yet those who are to be accommodated with the express train are so selfish as to 'grudge one little quarter of an hour for the conve nience of the public in traversing a distance of 50 miles, which had it still to be run by coach would require three and-a half hours beyond. Measures will surely be taken for the correction .of an abuse so fairly open to complaint from.a class of persons who have done much to promote thexassing through -Parliament of Bills, by the sanction of which the various lines have been formed. TIMES.—The second veto message of President Tyler clearly proves'how his mind has been made up against all that, in the 'usual acceptation of the word, can be called a National :Bank.. In vain have some of the de tails of the former scheme been modified in the hope of conciliating the President ; he states that in his former veto message „he declared his opinion to be against the power of Congress to create a National Bank to operate per se over the Union, and he now affirms that the Bank proposed to be created by the new Bill is open to the same objection. The details also of the measure, which are the incidents of a Bank of Discounts in the United States, are likewise subject to his objection. He perceives that the right of dealing in Bills Of Exchange drawn in one State-and payable in another, may lead to the most objectionable form of accommodation, by drawers in one place becoming the acceptors in another. lie uses the following words to express his objections to another fea ture of the Bill : ".There is no limit prescribed to the premium in the purchase of Bills of,Exchange, thereby correcting none of the evils under which the oommunity now labours, and operating most injuriously upon the agricultural States, in which the inequalities in the rates of exchange are most severely felt. Nor are these the only conse quences ; a resumption of specie payments by the Banks of those States would be liable to indefinite postpone ment ; for, as the operation of the agencies of the inte rior would chiefly consist in selling Bills of Exchange, and the purchases could only be made in specie or the notes of Banks paying .specie, the 'State Banks would either have to_continue with their doors closed, or exist at the mercy of this national monopoly of brokerage. Nor can it. be passed over, without remark, that whilst the district of Columbia 'is made the seat of the princi pal Bank, its citizens are exeluded from all participation in any benefit it might afford, by a positive, tarobibition on the Bankfrorn all discounting within the district." This part might haVe been more clearly expressed, but its force is obvwtts, manely, that the proposed "Anal agent" could not relieve the evils which it is designed to counteract. Mr. Tyler also bears in mind the important fact, that while the evils of the Bank are in its very foun dation, the Charter would give it an existence, and that as a monopoly, during the long period of twenty . years, and thus render the. evils irrevocable. lie is still in hope that some plan maybe adopted for the appointment of a " fiscal agent," and his sanction to the repeal of the sub-treasury shows that that did not accord with his views; but, at all events, whatever may be the nature of the ." fiscal agent" at last decided on, it will scarcely be a national bank. In the meantime it may be remarked, that the United States can hardly expect to establish confidence abroad in their financial system till something of a definite nature in -this respect is make known. HERALD.—It is not necessary at present to discuss the special causes which max have influenced the con duct of the President oh this occasion, inrther than to state" that a' strong and general impression prevailed among the community that his course and final resolu , time, discreditably distinguished for disingenuousness, double-dealing and gross inconsistency throughout, were attributable much more to private and selfish considera tions-than to any large, conscientious, and upright con siderations of public interest. Mr. Tyler, •it appears, before his fortuitous advent to the Presidency, was a person in very humble circumstances as regarded fortune, and it is charged against him thit he enter tains the design_ of repairing this accident of an ob scure and unendowed social position by running hard 'for a second presidential term of four years on •the termination of his present holding. His intrigues of this end, it is said, were directed to disunite the Whig party, and by conciliating at the same time the Jackson or Anti-Bank:party, by his hostility to a national bank, to attach such a majority as should secure his re-elec tion in due time. Such are the speculations 'of the Ame rican press. It is a fact, which here, as everywhere else, Will be learned with astonish/tient, and a fact neither creditable to bins as a man or a high functionary-, that not a single Member of his Cabinet was acquainted with, or had the slightest intimation of the contents of, his veto message until it had been laid before Congress. The general tenour of the money and commercial intelligence by this arrival in the United States, has' already been particularised in the second edition of the Herald today. The final declaration of the insol vency of that mighty institution, the old United States Bank, ought not however to be passed over in silence. The Directors by the assignment of all its remaining prop rty to trustees for the liquidation of its debts have .eusummated its now irretrievable - bankruptcy—a bank ruptcy more prodigious, it may be said, than ever the world witnessed. For it is the bankruptcy of a magnifi cent establishment which started with a capital of thirty five millionS' of dollars, or upwards of seven millions Sterling ; and so total is the wreck that' it may be doubted if a single cent of surplus property will remain, • after the indispensable payment of debts, for division among the Shareholders. The famous Mississippi As sociation in France, or the South Sea Bubble in this country, were not -on their final explosion to be compared with this gigantic failure of the United States Bank, for neither one nor the other were based upon such a vast amount of real capital.
