TO THE FACULTY, and those who take Opium, or its preparations, is recommended the LANCASTER GENUINE BLACK DROP, which many of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, employ and prescribe in preference to any other preparation of Opium. This MEDICINE has long been known and esteemed in the North of England by the name of the Q ua k er 's Ge nuine BLACK DROP, where it was first discovered by the late J. A. BRATHWAITE, Surgeon in Lancaster, in consequence of a laborious and attentive experimental in vestigation of the nature and powers of that invaluable drug. It is well known, that in many constitutions the effects of common opium, or klulanum, are extremely distressing, and that in all habits it produces sonic inconvenience ; often creating restlessness and delirium, instead of produc ing sleep ; and its use being generally succeetled by head aches, sickness, and debility. Of these deleterious effects, the BLACK DROP is, by a chemical process, wholly de prived, whilst it retains, in the fullest degree, all the de sirable powers of opium, in relieving pain, soothing irrita tion, and procuring repose. This invaluable medicine is applicable to all the cases in Which opium or laudanum is employed : but it is particu larly eligible in nervous and spasmodic affections—as pains of the head and stomach, depression of mind, anxiety, and irritability : in the gout, in wounds, inflammation, and mortification ; in chronic rheumatism, especially when affecting the teeth and face; in coughs, asthmas, consump tions, and other complaints of the chest, in the numerous diseases which produce pain and deprivation of sleep. The Nobility, Gentry, and Gentlemen of the Faculty, who have been pleased to patronize this celebrated Prepa ration, are particularly requested to observe, that none is Genuine except that prepared by M. Brathwaite, Kendal, successor to the late J. A. Brathwaite, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and surgeon in Lan caster; as a nauseous and inerticaeious cOmposition, and not possessing any of the salutary properties of the true medicine, is advertised with pirated directions for sale ; it however, may be easily distinguished by its appearance, taste, and unpleasant effects, from the"genuine Black Drop, th e preparation of which is known only to the Proprietor. N. B. Each bottle of the Genuine Black Drop , is signed M. Brathwaite, with red ink.

HOUSE OF LORDS, .TONE 8. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at a quarter-past five o'clock. Sir H. Parnell, and others from the Commons, brought up the Penryn Disfranchisement Bill and several private Bills. DIVORCE RILLS. On the motion of the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Thorndike Divorce Bill (as we understood the House), The'Earl of ELDON said, that there were no proceed- ings which came before the House more likely to mislead them than Bills for divorcing a rinculo matrimonii. The evidence was generally heard before the Lord Chancellor of the day, and the two or three Peers in attendance. It was formerly the custom, but be lately refrained from follow ing it, for the Lord Chancellor to move the second reading of such 13:11s, immediately after the evidence had concluded. Lord LAUDERDALE thought the Noble and Learned Lord would do a great benefit by pointing ont some way by which the Proceedings in' the Courts of Law or the Eccle- siastical Court could be laid before the House before the Bill was passed. The Earl of ELDON thaughethat their Lordships ought not to proceed with the Bill until the report of the Judge below was furnished to them. • The Order of the Day was then discharged. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented petitions from the Protestant Dissenters of the County of Wilts, praying For the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. The Noble Marquis presented other petitions to the same effect. The Marquis of DONEGAL presented a petition against further concessions to the Catholics. The Earl of STANHOPE presented a petition from the County of Kent, against the present Corn Laws. Lord BROWNLOW presented a petition from Horn castle, in the County of Lincoln, against the importation of Foreign Wool. Earl SPENCER, in presenting a petition from North ampton, praying for the repeal of the Ccu poration and Test Acts, said that nothing could justify the imposition of restrictions on account of religious principles. Lord CLIFDEN was 'glad to hear that the Protestant Dissenters and Catholics were at last Likely to unite. Let them but once join, and the word toleration would soon be erased from the Statute-book. It was most unjustifiable that any man should suffer on account of his religion, and it was a disgrace to the Statute-book—to the House—and to the country, that such a system should exist. The pe- tition was then read and laid on the table• -Lord„IROL•LAND bad ,two petitions to pr ! :sent on the same subject, - bnt before 14 did so, he wished to Make - a fete 'observations opotilbem. Tt , was not his intention at present to go into the nature dr the Test and Corporation Acts, but be considered them to be a stignia upon, and an insult offered to the Dissenters, and surely that House, which was constituted of the essence of honour, would not consider an insult not an injury. The petitioners came before the House without any wish, at this particu lar time, to press the„discussion of the subject ; and, therefore, he might be. aged why, with the strong opinions he had entertained while he eat in that House to the cause, the petitioners had not called upon him to propose such a measure to their Lordships. To such an inquiry, he would answer, that the same reason which had prevented him fiom agitating the question for thirty years, now prevented hint from calling on their Lordships to institute farther proceedings. He was afraid it would not be attended with success, and he would not agitate the subject in Parliament, because he was not sure that at pre sent any advantages would be attained by it, and because the petitioners had not called on him to propose any far ther proceeding to their Lordships. Having said thus much on the merits of the petitioners, he would explain why the petitioners had now come before their Lordships. It was from not _expecting to obtain relief that the peti tioners had remained for a long time silent, under the unjust stigma, which was on the face of it unreasonable, `awl an insult. They now held it right to call their Lord ships' attention to this great question, because, at least the petitioners who had signed the first petition he should present, considered that they had been aspersed, when it had been stated that they were inimical to granting con cession to another party, Whose claims had been more fre quently of late before their Lordships.—(Hear, bear, hear.) —With respect to the parties who now made an ap plication to their Lordships, through him, to remove their grievances, he was instructed to say, he believed of every individual who bad signed the first petition, that they were not opposed to the Catholic Claims ; and he had more than once presented petitions from them, he would not say ex actly in favour of those claims, but founded on a better principle, and supplicating their Lordships to sweep away from the Statute Book all disabilities on account of religious opinions.—(llear, hear.)---116 was instructed also to say that none of those congregations," of Which the petitiOners were the representatives, had, at any time, or in any shape or manner, expressed to Parliament a contrary opinion or wish to that contained in the petition ; and they continued to maintain the principle that it was unconstitutional 'and unjust in any manner to interfere with the rights 'of con science. The Second petition he had to present was from a Congregation of Dissenters at Manchester ; and he could not, perhaps, better inform their Lordships of what the opinions of those petitioners on this subject were, than by reading them an extract from the letter he had received with the petition. His Lordship accordingly read a short extract, stating in substance that the petitioners, in asking rights for them selves, thought they should be unworthy to approach their I Lordships, if they did not wish to see imparted to all men the common rights of citizens apart from any reference to' their religious opinions. He believed such to be the ge neral fundamental opinion of the old Dissenters of England ; but they were to be distinguished from a body of more modern Dissenters, who were not really Dissenters from the tenets and doctrines of the Church of England, among whom he believed there were a great number who were adverse to the Roman Catholic Claims. It was but justice to say of the individuals whose petitions he - had to present, that they asked nothing for themse lves the y did not wish to see given to others. Lord ELLENBOROUGH expressed the great satisfac tion with which he had beard from his Noble Friend that the Catholics and the Dissenters had now united ; for they ought to be convinced, that neither Catholics nor Dissenters would ever succeed till their claims were enfor ced by unanimity. Lord ELDON said, if it was intended that all argument on the subject should be postponed to some future period, it was not quite correct that observations should be ad dressed on one side to the House, when that side would not enter into the full discussion of the subject. The Bishop of CHESTER thought the subject of too great importance to be discussed incidentally. The Noble Baron, had through mistake, greatly misrepresented the nature of the Test and Corporation Acts. The persons who voted for the passing of these Acts certainly did not mean to stigmatise or insult any body of religionists ; nor TROOPS IN PORTUGAL. His Majesty's most gracious Message having been read, Lord DUDLEY rose. He hardly thought it necessary to trouble their Lordships in moving an humble Address, in answer to the Message they had just heard read ; at the same time he did not think it consistent with his duty, nor respectful to their Lordships, to abstain from saying a few words. The subject to which the ad dress hail reference, and all the details connected with it, had upon a former occasion been explained to the House by the Noble Lord then at the bead of the Colonial -Department, and he (Lord D.) now regretted his absence. The proposition made on that occasion by the Noble Earl, met with the general concurrence of the House. The vote passed without a single dissentient voice. All those Noble Lords agreed in it, who differed from the Government at the time on many points of general policy. Both the Noble Baron (Lord Holland), 'and the Noble Marquis (Lansdowne), who then sat on that (the Opposition) side of the House, and did not give their support to the Govern ment, still readily acquiesced in the motion, feeling that the honour and good faith of the country were to be main tained. Above all, it was supported by that great General and Statesman, whose authority was most entitled to the consideration of their Lordships, for he spoke of the state of a country which he had guided by his counsels, and protected by Isis arm.—(Hear, hear.)—Nor could it be ever forgotten that it was owing to the vigour of mind and energy of action displayed by that celebrated person, that the country of which he spoke had achieved her freedom. —He thought that the sending of troops to Portugal was imposed on us by the calls of honour and of national faith. The Noble Lord could assure the House there was hardly ever any measure which in so short a time raised the character of England over all Europe as an interference with Portugal. It scold per haps be unjust that any Chang a had taken place in their Lordships' opinions, since.- their attention was last called to the . subject. Ills Lordship, after saying that the presence of our troops had saved us from a war calamitous to us, and dangerous to Europe, laid that the same circumstances which made our in in the first instance, necessary, still existed in a mitigated degree. Negoeiations were now going on between Spain and Portugal, un der the sanction of England and France, which were likely to end in an arrangement that would relieve us from the necessity of keeping our troops there,—(Hear, hear, hear)—but -as the precise time was not known when that arrang anent would take place, it be came expedient to provide for the maintenance of our troops there, lest the premature withdrawal of them would cause an immediate recurrence of that state of things which had rendered their presence in Portugal necessary.— He knew any thing said in the face of this House was said in the face of Europe ; and therefore he wished it to be distiuctly understood, that the English troops were not sent to Portugal for an- ostensible purpose. It was not for protecting Constitutional Portugal, or for annoying despotic Spain, that' our troops were sent, but for protec ting our most ancient Ally—our Ally by treaty and po litical expediency. As to the papers, of which a Noble Lord spoke, it was often as difficult to explain the reasons for withholding papers as to produce those papers. If the Noble Lord 'wished for the production of papers calculated to make out a case against Spain, lie thought his Noble Friend must perceive that it would not be expedient to produce such papers. Two Ambassadors from Spain engaged in arranging terms of negotiation, and to pro duce papers snaking out a case against Spain, would be to :prevent that desirable and amicable adjustment of differences which he most sanguinely anticipated.— The Noble Viscount in conclusion moved that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, thanking him for his Message, and assuring him of the readiness of that House to comply with the recommendation in the Message. Earl GREY said he did not rise for the purpose of op posing the Address, but for the purpose of making some remarks on the -statement of the Noble Viscount, with which he must confess, lie was disappointed. He certainly thought it would not be right to press for the production of any papers. Under the circumstances stated by the Noble Lord, be was sure there was quite sufficient to sa tisfy the House. He was happy to hear that there were negociations of an amicable nature now in progress, and would not press for any further communication at this season ; but must say, that be regretted that no greater advancement had been made in this work of pacification and security, and that his Majesty's Ministers were not now prepared to say that this great and important work was terminated. If he felt some disappointment, it was induced by the nature of the Message, and the little explana tion which had been given of the object it had in view. It he understood the Message rightly, they were called on for a vote of credit fur no less a sum than half a million of money, for the support of the troops now in Portugal.— He believed that the number of those troops was about 5,000 men ; he was unable to conceive, therefore, the reason why this sum was required, when, from the best calculations he had been able to obtain (and he believed they were accurate) the whole expence of that force, in cluding their pay and clothing, amounted to 160,000/., or, at the utmost, 200,0001. per annum, and which had been already provided for in the usual grant for the army. —He contended, that there should be no additional expence for the detachment of our army now in Por tugal. If they had remained at home, the sum he had mentioned would be sufficient for their mainte nance. It might be said that their employment was at tended by some additional expences, such as the commis sariat and forage departments. But he was told that the most ample allowance for these extra expences would not exceed 60,000/., making the whole expenditure to amount ,to 260,000 k It did not therefore appear that there was any grounds for this additional call on Parliament, unless the sum required was for some other purpose besides that of maintaining our troops in Portugal. In the arrange ments for this year, it would also appear that an addi tional sum had been voted under the head " Army Extra ordinaries." He might tire their Lordships with this ; but they would see that it was useful, as showing that the whole expence for the troops in Portugal had been already providesl for, and that the call now made for main taining an army of 5,000 men was equal to that which would be sufficient for 20,000. It did excite in his mind some alarm ; because, instead of his Majesty's Ministers coming down to their Lordships with a statement that the employment of the force which had been sent out bad been effective, they now called on their Lordships, foreseeing dangers of greater extent, to place at his Majesty's dis posal the means of providing for a fqrce infinitely greater than the former. He felt also some disappointment at this late period of the session, when Parliament were about to separate, that no further progress had been made in the negotiations which he had alluded to, and no further expla nation afforded to account for the delay which had taken place. The Noble Viscount bad said that the success of those negotiations might, in a great measure, depend on their details not being disclosed, that no obstacle might render that adjustment more difficult—an adjustment on which the safety of Europe might depend. On that ground alone, be would abstain from pressing for further explana tion, but he must at the same time reserve to himself the right of questioning hereafter the conduct and policy of His Majesty's Ministers on the whole question. And now he could not help reverting to a part of the speech of the Noble Viscount, which did not seem very consistent. Towards the conclusion, be stated that it was desirable that the prin ciple on which our forces were sent out should be distinctly understood. He stated that our troops were not sent out to protect constitutional Portugal, or to annoy despotic Spain, but on the grounds of treaties and a castes frederis, with our ancient ally. That he understood to be the prin ciple on which our troops had been sent out,—and from that principle he should not have dissented, Init he thought that the casus fiederis was not made out,—and that the independence of Portugal was to be preserved to prevent a power from obtaining the preponderance over the whole Peninsula. He thought that the declaration that our troops were not sent out to impose any particular forums of Govern ment, to put up one party or to pull down another, wa s not quite consistent. Lord DUDLEY, in explanation, said, that he had not stated that the insurgents had been put down, and their attempts rendered abortive; but that their attempts, if not openly supported, had been connived at by the Spanish Government.

It was a question for Portugal to decide, and any interference on our part would he a violation of their national rights.— He said thus much to explain his feelings and opinion on the subject ; but in looking at this question he must look back at the cause which rendered our interference necessary. Our policy was now altered, but the fact was that we should never have suffered the invasion of Spain by the French ; and he trusted that the effect of our negotiations would be to repair that greaterror in our foreign policy. He should be well satisfied if the result of those amicable negotiations should be the evacuation of Spain by France, which we should never have submitted to. The Fren,•,h had now been there four years. What their pretext for remaining was, he knew not. Originally they professed to come to rescue the Monarch from the hands of a faction, who, by means of the army, overpowered the wishes of the people. The allegation was, that in general the people were dis posed towards a monarchical government, by which they were kept in subjection. That object had been effected by the French : the rebellion bad been suppressed. The trai tors, as they had been esteemed by some, had been exe cuted ; or, as they had been deemed by others, those suf fering patriots had suffered, or were dispersed.over the face of Europe, deprived of their rank and propeity, in a state of destitution and wretchedness, which rendered them real objects of compassion. There was, therefore, no pretence continued now for the French- to remain any lodger in Spain, if the Ti e l 1 favourab le tinued to to o thee . monarchical allegation government. true that ripueot theyple w still copy Spain, retaining military possession of her fortresses. He trusted, however, that at no distant perio&they would evacuate that country. And here he could not help Iv; verting to the singular situation in which we were places. We were told repeatedly, over and over again, that the die+ ferenees between Spain and Portugal were occasioned by the people of Spain preferring a monarchical government, while those of Portugal were attached to the constitution which had been granted to them : yet by this singular facility the French kept possession of Spain to support the wishes of the people, while we occupied Portugal for a similar purpose. These were the errors and difficulties in which the people and nation were placed, by departing from sound principles. He trusted that we should return to those principles ; but he regretted that a consummation so devoutly to be wished for had been so long delayed. He regretted that it was now necessary to strengthen the hands of his Majesty with additional powers to effect that desired object. He had not intended to proceed to this length, but he had been induced to say thus much in order to explain the grounds on which he , assented to this motion ; at the same time reserving to himself to ques tion the whole policy which had dictated these proceedings, and which, he contended, originated in the error which rendered them necessary. Lord GODERICH wished to say a few words with re spect to some of the observations of the Noble Earl. The Noble Earl had reserved to himself the right to question, at some future time, the policy of the measures, which had induced these proceedings, and nothing could be more consistent, The only point on which he seemed to object was, on the necessity of strengthening the power in his Majesty's hands, which he seemed to think was with 4 view to providing further reinforcernente; but that was not the object for which the grant was required. The Noble Earl was perfectly accurate in what he had stated with re gard to the army estimates having been increased this year under the head of extraordinariee, but it was impossible. under that head, to include a specific vote for this object. The reason why the army extraordinaries had exceeded this year the amount of preceding years, arose from circum stances wholly independent of the transmission of part of our military force to Portugal. It was in consequence of the expences of some of our colonial establishments, which it was deemed advisable to wind up, that the additional vote was required under the head of army extraordinaries, which had therefore.no reference to the occupation of Portugal by the British troops. It was impossible to say that 500,000/. was the exact sum that would be necessary for those expences. If the Noble Earl went into the details, he would find the expense of maintaining a corps of troops in another country much greater than the expellee amain taining them in barracks in this country. If the vote of credit was taken for a sum insufficient for the purposes Ministers would be placed in a very unpleasant situation. The proposition would have been brought fors ward at a much earlier period, but for circumstances which hail occurred, and which had considerably impeded the usual course of business. The vote was not intended for the purpose of facilitating any extended operations, which he thought his Noble Friend had sufficiently explained. ..The Address. was agreed to. .. _. - SALE- OF GAME BILL, . Their Lordships went into a Committee neon this Bill. After some verbal Amendments were made, the House re sumed, and the Bill was ordered to be ptinted with the Amendments. Adjourned to Monday. , HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY, :Elixir 8. The SPEAKER took the Chair at sour o'clock this of TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. Mr. W. WYNN presented a petition from the county of Montgomery, for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Similar petitions were presented for the repeal of those Acts from a Dissenting Congregation in Jewlia-street, by Alderman Wood ; from Buxton, by Mr. Munday; from several places in Cornwall, by Mr. Pendarves; from a Congrcgation of Scotch Presbyterians, in Wells-street. Marylebone, and from Horsham, Wilts, by Mr. Easthope ; from the Protestant Dissenting Ministers of Kent, and of three places in Yorkshire, by Lord Milton ; from Beverley, by Mr. Stewart; from a Dissenting Congr,:gation in Worship-street, London, by Mr. John Wood ; from Maid stone, by Mr. Robarts: and from several places in tha county of Stafford, by Mr. Lyttleton. Mr. G. DAWSON presented petitions from the Parish of Kilburn, in the County of Donegal, and from the United Presbyterian Synod of Down against any further conces sions to the Roman Catholics. Mr. DAWSON also presented a petition from the Shoe makers of Dublin, praying that no alteration should be made in the manner of choosing Sheriffs for that city. Mr. DOWNIE presented a petition from Sterling pray ing the House to resist every application made by the Papists. Mr. PERCIVAL brought up the 6th and 7th Reports of the Commissioners of Irish Education, which was or dered to he printed. Mr. H. HUTCHINSON presented a petition from Cork, against the Salmon•Fisheries' Bill. Mr. O'NEIL withdrew his notice of a motion for Mon , day next, on the formation of the present Ministry. RECOVERY OF SMALL DEBTS. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petitiou from the Ward of Bishopsgate, against the Bill for preventing arrests upon mesne process ; and and also a petition pray,. ing the House to take some measure to protect the interest of creditors. The Hon. Gentleman said, the Solicitor-. General ought to have applied himself to diminish the costs of small debts, for he had in his possession a bill of costs amounting to 181., incurred in the recovery of a debt of 5/. 6s. Mr. HUME was sorry to bear that any petitions were presented in favour of imprisonment for small debts, as the system was already carried to a most ruinous extent. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual named John Carter, complaining of abuses at the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. W. HORTON wished to caution the House against petitions like that which had been printed. The petitioner was convicted for aiding the escape of a felon. He applied to t h e Government to rescind the sentence of transporta. Lion which was pronounced against him, and this was re fused. The law might be wrong, and if so, it should he amended; but it was impossible the House could miti gate every case in which individuals might think them selves hardly used. Lord E. SOMERSET said the petitioner was not a per son of that character which should induce the House to enter into an investigation of his petition. Mr. HUAIE said, that if a man was ruined, or thought he was ruined, by the misconduct of Government, where else could he apply for relief but to this House ? In his opinion, the petitioner was as respectable a character as, This Day was published, Bvo., price 10s. 6d. THE DRAUGHT of IMMORTALITY, and other Poems; with CROMWELL, a Dra matic'Sketch.
