The late Wil liam Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious. Surgeon, ascertained Chat every 20th person was ruptured. These complaints are truly alarming to every in dividual who uses the least exertion. It is also incredible the number that suffer. from a certain Disease, by being improperly treated. It was those 'circumstances induced Dr. Co o PER to select eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30 years' experience, to form a Medical Board ; and since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa tients have been cured without confinement— many of them after hospitals had failed. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted at Woodstock-street; Oxford-street ; and at Char lotte House, Great Charlotte-street; opposite' the Rev. Rowland Hill's daily, from eight. till eight. Mechanics have advice gratis every evening from six till eight ; and on Sunday mornings until 12 o'clock. ** RUPTURES of 30 years standing radically cured without confinement. p. There are private doors at each house, and private rooms for Females. N.B. The Afflicted would do well to read Messrs.

GLASGOW STATUTE LABOUR The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved that the Glasgow Statute ,Labonx: Bill, be re-committed. The Duke c.f MoNitAx cdutendQd,...that:suf ficient opportunity had already been afforded for discussion and there was nol - ground for further delay. After a few words from Lord Redesdale and the Earl of Rosslyn, the Bill was read a third time and passed. MESvAGE FR QM THE COMMONS. A Message from tile Commons informed the House, that they had passed a considerable num ber of Bills,. which they presented for the con currence of their Lordships. THE EXTRA POST BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second reading of the Extra Post Bill. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, there wAs some important information touching the subject of this Bill, which it was his intention to move for,,as necessary to the due understanding of the mea sure. He alluded, among other points, to the estimates which were furnished respecting the expences of the plan, the per centage to be al lowed, and the agreement concluded with the Chancelloi of the Exchequer. The plan would give a facility to the practice of jobbing on the part of rival mercantile houses. He could also wish to have laid before the House copies of the correspondence between certain Merchants of Leeds and Halifax, and his Majesty's Post master-General, relative to the probable mis chiefs that would ensue from the extent of rival speculation, to which the measure would give rise. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he had no objec tion to the production of these papers, if they were moved for in the regular way.. The Noble Earl must be aware that the correspondence at the Treasury was conducted by the Board, through their Secretary, and not by any of its members individually. He could assure the Noble Earl that on the subject in question no bargain had• been-made in the manner he alluded to. The transaction was shortly this—it was re presented by several mercantile persons in Liver pool and Glasgow, thdt a plan had been con trived by the speculation and ingenuity of an in dividual, which would save one half the time already consumed in conveying the post to and from London. Whether this plan might be found to answer all the ends of revenue and ex pence he could not say; all that he now said was, that the expeditious plan was practicable, and that the whole object at present was merely ex perimental. The Act was therefore an empower ing one.' At present the answer to a letter sent from London to Liverpool on Monday was not obtained until the Friday. By the new plan it could be had on Wednesday. It was intended to try the plan at the outset only on one road. The Earl of LAUDERDALE thought that the partial operation of the plan would prove mis chievous to the places where it was not tried. lie gave notice, that in the Committee upon the Extra Post Bill he should move a clause, claim ing the conveyance of their Lordships' privileged letters by this extra post. Lord REDESDALE complained of the unfair system towards the Trustees of Turnpike Roads, of passing the Mail Coaches toll free. It would be infinitely better, as in Scotland, to make an extra postage charge, and pay the tolls, than pur sue the present system. He knew several instances of great injury to the turnpikes in consequence of this privilege. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the subject just touched upon might furnish good matter for revision in a separate shape, but it could not in terfere` to impede the passing of this Bill. On the motion of the Noble Earl the Extra Postage Bill nas then read a seco n d ti me , an d or dered to be committed on Thursday next. The Irish Lunatic Asylum Bill was (after a few words from the Earl of Limerick) read a second time. CONIMuTATION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. On the motion of the Marquess of LANSDOWN, the adjourned debate on the above Bill was re sumed. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the course of some observations on the subject, referred to certain provisions of the Act of the 16th of the late King, respecting offenders who attempted to disguise their faces by blacking or other means, which provisions he proposed should he left untouched by any thing in the Bill before their Lordships. The Marquess of LANsoo signified his ac quiescence in the proposition o f the Noble and Learned Lord ; and the Bill, after receiving a correspondent amendment, was read the third time and passed. CAPITAL FELONIES' RF.PFAL BILL. On the question for the third reading of the Capital Felonies' Repeal Bill, a discussion of soma length took place. The LORD CHANCELLOR, expressed consider able doubts as to the effect of - passing the Bill-in [PRICE SEVENPENCE its present shape. It would militate too exten sively against the principle upon which so great a portion of our law of punishments is founded. The Noble and very Learned Lord then referred to provisions in various Statutes, which he was certain it would be essential to the due admini stration of justice, should be left untouched. He also thought, with respect to the effect of those Statutes, at least it would be. pro=per.. nothing should be done until they had the opinion of the Judges upon the subject ; and, in his view of 'the question, he thought it would be desirable to have the Bill re-,committed, The Marquess of LANSOOWN had no decided objection to the course proposed by the • Noble Lord on the Woolsack ; and he Inutno objection to the leaving out those parks of the Bill adverted to, in order to their Lying over till the next Ses sion for more deliberate discussion. The leading provision of the Bill was to change or commute the punishment for the offences enumerated in the Bill, now.liabie to the infliction of death, to the punishment of transportation for not less than seven years. The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished to oiler one single idea to the ,consideration of the House. Let their Lordships consider what the fact of transportation for life or for a term of years really was—it was in point' of fact, upon the whole, regarded as no punishment. The great defective point in all the Criminal Law System of this Country was, that there was no secondary punishment therein. When that of transportation was first enacted, perhaps it Was considered as an infliction little short of death. The convicts were sent to the burning shores of Africa, or sent to the. back • settlements of America, where they were sold as servants, and placed perhaps in a worse situation than in the other place ; short, transportation was then looked upon as worse than death. In the present day the thing was widely different; for his own part, he was officially beset with applications from individuals to go out to New South Wales, which conveyance they deemed a great bene fit and advantage, and numbers who were sent thither deemed it the best thing that could he done for them to be sent to Botany Bay. Thus to increase the practice of temptation, as would be the effect of the Bill, would be beginning at the wrong end. The puni s h men t o f death, in, many points of view, it may be well to hold out in terrorem. He merely threw out those ideas for the eventual consideration of the - House, not meaning to offer any thing founded thereon on the present occasion. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his full concurrence in the suggestion of his Noble Friend. The want of some secondary punishment was the great defect in our Criminal Code. Transporta tion, he also thought, was not now regarded as a punishment ; on the contrary, he believed many offences were committed in the hope of being adjudged to transportation. The Learned Judges were generally _impressed with these sentiments, and they felt much difficulty in acting to their own satisfaction under that defect in the Code. Such parts of the present Bill as went to increase the evil alluded to, ought not, he tho ug ht, t o b e enacted. Lord . REDESDALE entertained similar senti ments ; and he also referred , to the great difficul ties which were obtained in effectually prosecut ing on account of the enormous expenses. This he instanced in the case of a poor man who was robbed of about 601., but who, in prosecuting the offender to justice, was obliged t expend 1501., which would have utterly ruined him had it not been pursued through the charitably exertions of his neighbours in his behalf. Earl BATHURST expressed his doubts' whether transportation, in the present state of those coun tries, could ever be made a ‘good secondary pu nishment. Under the present system, when in flicted, it soon ceased to be any punishment:— The most effectual remedy that occurred to him was, some system of strict discipline in those countries, which discipline may be on a graduated system of severity, according to the degree of the offence committed. alit The Marquess of LANSDOWN explained at some length. The Bill was calculated on the principle that it would more effectually tend' to the prevention of crimes ; and he observed that the framers of the Bill felt the impropriety of doing away the existing severity of punishment in all those cases where violence against the per sons of individuals occurred, and it was with the view of preventing that species of outrage that . the extreme punishment was propos e d t o rema i n in all offences of that description. On the occasion of the third reading of the Bill, which then took place, the LORD CHANCELLOR moved the omission of all those provisions above referred to, which accordingly took place, and the Bill was then passed. STATE OF THE ROYAL NAVY The Earl of DARNLEY observed, it was his duty to call their Lordships' attention to this subject, which he conceived of vital importance. He wished to be informed as to the actual state of the Navy at present, with respect to prepara tion for the contingency of any war that might break out. This was the more necessary, as tioieo regretted other States, particularly the Americans, were making great efforts to rival our naval power: As he could learn, that the ships now ordered to w al e l, h ‘ a v d hi n c:: proposition his Lordship proceeded to illugtrate tot: small, . • n ow-built ships that could compete with those of he :o u r i n i : di-etar:le:taleidr
