No. 94, Newman-street, Oxford-street, London. 7t ADAM—Having experienced the blessed Effects of your Syrup on Two of my Children, I beg you to insert the case of One, on whom it had the most ex traordinary effects. My child, who is two years and a half old, has been suffering under every species 44 debititv'ever since it wits six mantbs old, , owing to.the extreme•diflicnity of cutting her teeth, so, much.so, that a total waste of flesh and distortion of the'joints, rendered the child incapable of being moved without a pillow, at the same time having irons on her legs.o present their getting more distorted ; when, directed by Providence, I was recommended to apply to you for the Syrup, which, after using two or three days, my child appeared to receive fresh life and strength, and how ever singular it may appear, after using only One Bottle of the Syrup, I was enabled to take the irons from her legs, and shortly after she became perfectly restored. Every in quiry as to thr truth of the above will .be cheerfully answer ed. by `your most obedient Servant, Nu. 6, Ct own court, Picket t-st reet, F. SEAGER. Temple Bar, May 4, 1820. To be bad of the PrOprietors, Johnson and Williams, 94, Newman-street ; and, by their appointment, of all the Me dicine Venders in Town and Country, at 2s. 9d. per Bottle. N.B.—Mrs. JOHNSON relieves the Poor, as usual, at her house, every Tuesdily.and Saturday morning, from Nine till Teti &Clock, by bringing a Letter froin a respectable House keeper, to certify ihat they are real objects of charity. MISCELLANEOUS. (Front Blackwood's Magazine.) NORTH-WEST PA AGE, MAGNETIC ATTRAC TION, 4T. c.—After the Greenland ships, North Pole and William and Ann, of Leith, this year entered Davis' Straits, they penetrated to 74° or 75° of lath ode, by the usual route, up the east side of the Bay. As the season advanced, and the sea became more clear of ice, the scarcity of fish induced them to stand towards the west, in hopes of being more suc cessful. Some few days after, the land was seen to the west, stretching front north to south, as far as the eve could reach, with some small island or rocks, scattered before the coast, where the fiskappeared in greater abundance. Prosecuting the fishery, the ships were directed according\ to circum stances, when they reached an openinCMThparetttly about 30 or 35 miles in width, situated about 73. or 74° latitude 4 sup posed to he Lancaster Sound. Doting the time the ships re mained in this inlet,'straits, or bay, the compasses on board both sloips were found, whenever they approached within 5 or 6 miles to the• north shore, which was high, rugged, stud mountainous, to have lost entirely their magnetic virtue; standing in any direction to which they were placed, without indicating the least appearance of being attracted either the. oti way otT . ,, outer ; b.:443,:40trit aS the. ships strirojl iteTiirft!ti'tts tilistiince. (5 or 6 miles) front the land, towards the middle of the straits, the compass needles again acquired their usual power, and exercised it without apparent obstruction. This phenomenon, of which the navigators were entirely ig norant, had nearly led the ships into scrions and alarining consequences.—The William and Ann was thirty or forty miles within the headlands forming Site entrance, into this strait, bay, or inlet ; saw a clear passage to the N. W. as far as the eye extended. Had 10 fathoms water, blue mud, 7 miles from the north shore, and 4 fathoms close in, where most of the fish they procured were killed; - experienced a long swell setting through front the N. W. with regular tides, sometimes running 4 and 5 knots per hour. LlTHOGRAPHY.—Mr.Sennefelder, the inventor'' of lithography, has found the means of dispensin , with the stone. Re has invented a lithographic paper, fit for all me thods of printing. , 7,AW-DUST INCREASES THE FORCE OF txUNPOW- Deti.—M. Warnhagen has discovered that saw-dust, especi ally of wood of the softest kinds, mhfed with gun-powder in equal sharesOriples the force of the powder. It is intended to be used for the blowing Up of rocks. NEW ANTIDOTE AGAINST POISONS.—The fruit of the plant Feuillea cordifolia proves a powerful antidote against vegetable poisons. 111. Drapiez poisoned dogs . with the rims toxicodendron, heMlock, and nox vomica. Such of them as were left to •the effects of the poison, died ; butt hose to whom the above fruit was given recovered completely after a short illness. NEW VEGETABLE ALKALLES.--- 7 -Tbe number of vegetable alkalies is daily increasing, and chiefly by the. la hours of the German chemists. Atropia is the ingredient which gives to the Atropa bellahonna its peculiar properties. It crystallizes in long needli.s, is a brilliant v.hite, tasteless, and little soluble in water and in alcohol. It withstands a moderate heat; and forms regular salts with acids, neutra lizing a considerable portion of acid. Sulphate of atrop:- contains sulphuric acid 36•52,•atropia 33'93, Water 24.55=100. Atropia, mixed with potash and exposed to 'a red heat, ._yiel ds ashes, which, when mixed with muriate ofiron, strike alively red colour. Hyoscyama (the alkali extracted from the hyo scyanius niger) is not easily altered by heat, even when brought to redness with charcoal. It crystallizes in long prisms; and gives with sulphutic or with nitric acid very characteristic salts. HUMAN' LITIMLOGY.---A s posthumous work of Brugnatelli, Professor in the University, has been puhlished at Pavia, with the title of " Hitnan LithologY," forming a collection of chymical and medical researches, relative to the stony substances found in the huMan body. This publica tion is the result of twenty years' labour, and merits the at tention not only of medical practitioners, b" of the curious in general. it is embellished with plates, comprisinga large collection of calculi, carefully stored by the author,. during his "long practice. The different configurations orthese, drawn out in their natural size, are stated to be taken with the greatest accuracy. Some. are shaped like a pin, others like an ear.of corn, and some are ahoutthesize of a goose's egg. To investigate the interior structure of the calculi, it was necessary to cut some of them 'in the middle; an ope ration which the author happily executed. • The designs in the plates rep r esent very distin c tly, th e gra d ua l process of stratification, in different layers, front the-surface to the centre. NEW VARIETY OF POTATO.--M. Lannekman, a skilful gardener, has introduced into Ghent, from some fo reign country, a.potato of a 'species not known on the Conti nent., Having planted it, the crop produced 2,160 pounds of potatoes, every stalk yielding fifteen or eighteen pounds. The form is oblong, colour red, and quality excellent. THE COLCHESTER TRUE BLUE, Olt PITT CLUB. —The 14th Anni►•ersary of this loyal Institution will he held on Tuesday next, Sir John Tyrrell, Bart. in the Chair. The Stewards on this occasion are, John Archer Hoot)loo, Esq. Abraham Johnsoa, Esq. Mr. Alderman Smith, Mr. Edward Norman, and Mr. J. Baker ; Sect etary to the Committee, Mr. Robert•Skittcr. His Majesty's ship Conqueror, from St. Helena, was paid off on Monday at Chatham. Th e Offi cers, on taking leave of Captain STANFELL, gave him an elegant entertainment at the Mitre Hotel, as an acknowledgment of their esteem for him, and his attention to the comforts of the Officers and Crew during his command on that ardu as station. PARLIAMENT, MOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. THE QUEEN. [continuation of Yesterday's Proceedings.] The following is the conclusion of Lord Gatos , VENOR s Speech He would now advert to the evidence given by a respectable witness for the prosecution. Here he must remark, that such a set of witnesses as had been brought forward to support the Bill, he had never in his life beheld before. Saying this, he must add, for it was the truth, that he had never seen a more respectable body of persons 4r0duc., 4 4 in a Court of Justice than the witnesses ror'the4lePence There was abont them a man liness of deportment, a readiness of reply, that carried conviction of their integrity—while there was something peculiarly unfavourable in the ap- ' pearance of those on the other side, which could not but strike the impartial ohserver. One of the two respectable witnesses produced on the part of the prosecution, Captain Briggs, had given evidence which, in his opinion, was much in favour of her Majesty. Did they hear that Captain Briggs had any suspicion that an adul terous intercourse was carried on between her Majesty and Bergami while thdy were on board his ship ? No. Distinctly no : and what was re markable was, that there she was described to have so managed that the cabin of 'Bergami should be near that in which her Royal .Highness slept. If their Lordships looked to the evidence, they would find that it was almost impossible that an adulterous intercourse could have been carried on there without its being known, and the Queen must have been aware of this when she di rected the arrangement in question. What had struck him most forcibly was this, that Dumont, coming to their Lordships' Bar with all the dis position in the world to destroy the honour and life of her Majesty, she who had attended her continually, and had been about her person in every situation, had never proved one act of adultery or indecency. Whenever the Learned Counsel for this Bill thought they were coming to a disclosure of something of the kind, to•some thing that was expected to make a strong impres sion on their Lordships, the witness had' stopped - short at the most material point. If that did not make An impression on the minds of their Lord ships, he should be greatly astonished. Their 11,61.2 1 .51ips MiitelOos k to Cli 4 6 — pOsSible motives witnesses, and could they forget that Majocci was already Chancellor of Cotton-garden, and Pietro Cuchi it was possible might be raised above all others. If Gargiulo's evidence were true, and the adulterous intercourse had: taken place, the indecent scenes to which he deposed could not haVe taken place without being no ticed. The man had an interest in the evidence he . Was giving, not only from the high remuneration, but from his expectation to have his outstanding and unsettled demand adjusted. The coolness and pertness -which he displayed whilst giving his testimony,' did not add ; in his opinion, to. 'the credibility of it. To him such evidence appeared incapable of sustaining 'charges like those which had been preferred against her Majesty.. The evidence principally retied on, reminded him of a person he remembered to have been jealous of his wife = because why ? Why-because she was in a room on a certain day, with a gentleman, and the husband on going into that room, observed two chairs placed close to-; gether, and therefore he supposed a criminal in tercourse to have taken Place. When peOple were determined to look for such things, there was no end to the suspicions that might be excited. The freedom of team:out, so essential:to the investi gation of truth, could not be restrained,, though Kings were the parties. If Kings came before them, they must share in the comment, however uncourtly it might prove. With regard to the, omission of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy, whether it was by the desire of the King to the. Archbishop of Canterbury he knew not ; but this he would say, that if he had been Archbishop of Canterbury, he would have thrown the Liturgy in the King's face before: he would have done an act so contrary to law, to justice, and humanity. If he had been Lord Chancellor, he would have thrown the seals' at his Majesty's feet rather than have sanctioned such an act. What a. Household Adrcinistration Might do he knew not, but that was the'conduct he would himself have purued. He could almoSt say that they had been. warntd against the passing of this . Bill, by signl both in the natural and moral world. Their Lordships might remember that the moment when the At torney-General began his opening speeCh with that statement, which he (Lord G.) 'should not condemn him for having made, seeing that he was bound to follow the instructions of his brief—that foul and-fatal charge against the Queen commenc ed amidst the bursting of clouds and storms.-i -(llear1)--Whereas when the defence began a bright sun lighted up the heavens, and shed a cheering influence on the - day.—lle would also say, that they had had signs i n the moral. and political world.. If they threw o u t thi s Bill, they would create the most heartfelt rejoicing ) , not only through this country, but from the shores of this land through France, over the Alps and Pyrenees, and the note of joy would be pro longed through Spain, Portugal, and Naples-= - because these nations were free—and none but the agents and upholders of despotic power could rejoice at its passing —none— none b u t d e spotic nations would hang down thei r h ea d s i n sorr ow and dejection if it were rejected. li e e ntreated their [PRICE SEVENPEN€E. Lordships not to be led into the passing of this measure by any undue. influence which might hi sensibly bias their minds on this occasion—he implored them to be on their guard against any evil inclinations of their own natures, which might blibd their judgment on this occasion—and why did he do this, but because every morning on their knees their Lordships prayed that they might not be led astray by the malice and devices of their hearts. lie would conjure, implore— he would ,pray them on his knees, to do in the case of this oppressed, this .persecuted, this agonized woman, what they would wish to be done to themselves—to their wives, And to their dearest daughters, avid 'not permit this Bill to be read-a gecoud time. h e EarN of HAnEwoOD and DONOUGHMORE rose at the same time, the former in the gallery, and the name of each was resounded throughout the House by their respective friends. The Lord Chancellor said that the Earl of Donoughmore first caught his eye ; but the latter immediately conceded his priority to the Noble Earl in the gallery. The Earl of listtEwoon then begged leave to thank the Noble Earl who had just sat down, for his great and singular courtesy on the present occasion. He assured the House that it was not his intention to trouble them by going at any length, or indeed, at all, into the mass of details which had been brought under their consideration during the proceedings upon this important-ques tion. The situation in which he felfbimself placed was, that of a Member of the House of Peers, acting in the double capacity of a Legislator and a Judge. Considering himself as placed in That situation, - he 'begged before he gave his vote to have the grounds on which he'formed that vote distinctly understood. He would shortly state to their Lordships the impression made upon Iris' mind by the - evidence which had been given in the case. Of that evid e nc e h e wou ld say, that much of it had been contradicted, much stood on loose grounds, but other parts, he was sorry to say, stood- on a firmer founda tion. The effect of the ,whole was, he must say, calculated to create a strong suspicion respect ing the subject of their inquiry. He must first consider the nature of the evidence. Far from him was the intention of adopting the prejudice out of doors, that foreigners ought not to receive implicit credit upon their oaths ; such a pre judice he thought unworPly, of any civilized country ;• it was in the highest degree irrational. Much had been said- respecting the manner in which. the evidence for the Bill had been obtain- Lut being ignorant upon that point, he.should r.ay nothing respecting it. If, indeed, the evi dence-had been collected in England, then there could have been no reasonable ground to question its general character, for the parties would be open to , the fullest inquiry and ekamination. This advantage could not be expected where the witnesses were brought from a foreign country ; and so far as that circumstance was calculated to excite any doubt, and no farther, should he con sider 'the -foreign testimony. He had no right to charge any of the subjects of any civilized 'coml. try with not being intitled, to belief upon their oaths ; and he.begged, in this cause, not to be considered as lending himself to any such-impu tation. Having stated this, in allusion to the evi. dence, he wished he could add, that he felt as clearly convinced of the innocence of the Illus. trious Person again Fit whom the Bill was directed, As he was upon the impolicy of passing such a Bill as this. The Bill was diftsible into two parts ; one part -was for degradation, the other for divorce. The latter was not, he under.. stood, to be pressed, so he should not make it the subject of any observation. He must now look at what he anticipated would be_theresult of such. a measure as this—a measure whieh he *as clearly of opinion ought never to have been brought against the party in this country,—it should never, for the purpose of a charge, have been boroUght forward hi such a shape. He was convinced that the effect of pas - sing such a-Bill would be this, that it would cause the greatest discontent among the people of the country. Whatever were the character of d any individual in public life, he ha no doubt deceit and concealment, if practised, could not operate 14n-g - ; the good sense and good feelings of the people would soon induce them to appreciate public character in its true light. if any thing could -be calculated more thin another. to create a false impression-, it would be the passing a measure which :was intended to hold out the Queen hi a degraded 'view to the country. This would excite sympathy' and irritation, and lead to the most unfavourable re sult in every point o f view. - Give the people only a fair opportunity of forming their judgment without severity or irritation, and he ww.i.ld say On their behalf, and from his own experience of the national character, that in the long-run they would form a fair, just, and accurate estimate.— He never in his life saw them fail in arriving at such a conclusion, where impolitic and irritable means werenotaised to thwart their . sentiments. Irritation rievelafailed to 'produce mischief, and. lie feared this Bill was calculated to load to that result. in voting against, this Bill, on the grounds of its inexpediency and impolicy, he begged - net to be - understood as concurring with those - qhol, itt their opposition to the measure, expressed an Opinion 'that the original circumstances of the case did not-call for any step on the part of his * Maiesty's Ministers. That involved a subjeCt of very - serious consideration. his Maiestv's lVii nisters were, upon that point, Surrounded with great difficulties ; and he was not one of tho:e pkt . ,~4
