PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. THE Herb COLTSFOOT has l ong b een distin guished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the course of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes frequent. coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels.—Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest. This PectOral Essence is prepared by James Ryan, Surgeon in Bristol ; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. each, by F. Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church Yard ; J. Sanger, 150, Oxford-street ; W. Pegg, 20, Dame -street, Dublin ; and in most Country Towns. Observe the name F. Newbery, 45, St. Paul's, e.igraved on the Stamp. FRENCH MARSHALS. PARIS, Fee. 10.—The ball of Appony is still the subject of all conversations. Poets, authors of pamphlets, and the editors of political and literary journals, have all taken up the subject of the Marshals and the Austrian Government. The Marshals themselves, who have been the cause of this excitement, interest nobody on their own account. The men even who appear the most indignant at the insults which they have suffered, have been very happy that they have been mortified, for they entertain a profound contempt both fin• their character and their titles. The Court is, however, very much embarrassed. If it takes part with Austria it declares hostility to the French army, and directs against itself the whole of the popular feeling; and if, on the contrary, it follows the current of public opinion, it embroil. itself with Austria, dissolves the Holy Alliance, and can only rely on its own resources, which are extremely insignificant. The unpopularity of a certain great Personage has reached a point difficult to be credited. The following fact may enable you to form an idea of it :—On Monday last the celebrated play of 7'artuffe was performed at the Odeon. At the end of the piece, when the person who is charged with the arrest of the hypocrite, recited the verse Nous vivoas sous un Prince ennend de /a fraude, (we live uuder a prince who is the enemy of fraud), a man took it into his head to applaud, wishing the praise to be appliedoto Charles X. The young men who filled the pit ordered him immediately to be silent, but believing that be would be allowed to continue his plaudits.under the protection of the police, he went on. The spectators, on this, seized him and turned him out of the house with such violence that he went heels over head. The police, in the mean time, did not dare to interfere, and the play proceeded. HAT VERSUS WIG. " His Lordship stood upon his hat during the oiremony.' —metus omnes et inexorabile fatum Subjecit pedibus, strepitumque Acherentis avari. 'Twixt El—'s Hat and El—'s Wig There lately rose an altercation,— Each with its own importance big, Disputing which most serves, the nation. Quoth Wig, with consequential air, Pooh ! pooh ! you surely can't design, My worthy beaver, to compare Your station in the State with mine. Who meets the learned legal crew? Who fronts the lordly Senate's pride ? The Wig, the Wig, my friend --while y ou Hang daugline: on some peg outside. Oh, 'tis the Wig, that rules, like Love, Senate and Court, with like eclat— And wards below, and Lords above, Fur Law is Wig and Wig is Law- Who tried the long, long W— suit, Which tried one's patience, in return? Not thou, oh Hat !—though, conld'st thou do't, Of other brims t than thine thou'dst learn. 'Twas mine our master's toil to share ; When, like Truepenny,' in the play, # - He, every minute, cried out ' Swear,' And merrily to swear went they ; When, loth poor W-- to condemn, he With nice discrimination weigh'd, Whether 'twas only, Hell and Jemmy,' Or' Hell worthy il and e m ir, no— Though The playa.N o 9 no, myhough cheapen'd at the cheapest hatter's, And smart enough, as beavers go, Thou ne'er wert made for public matters." Here, Wig concluded his oration, Looking as wigs do, wondrous wise While thus full cock'd for declamation, The veteran, Hat, enrag'd replies ,s Ha ! dost thou then so soon forget • What thou, what Englana owes to me ? Ungrateful Wig !—when will a debt, So deep, so vast be owed to thee ? Think of that night, that fearful night, When, through the steaming vault below, Our master dared, in gout's despite, To venture his podagric toe ! Who was it then, thou boaster, say, When thou hadst to thy box sneak'd off, Beneath his feet protecting lay, And sav'd . him from a mortal cough ? Think, if Catarrh lied queneli'd that sun,, How blank this world had been to thee ! Without that head to shine upon, Oh Wig, where would thy glory be ? You, too, ye Britons,—had this hope Of Church and State been ravish'd front ye, Oh, think, how Canning and the Pope Would then have played up Hell and Tommy !' At sea, there's but a plank, they say, 'Twixt seamen and annihilation ; A Hat, that awful moment, lay 'Twixt - England and Emancipation ! • Oh ! ! !" At this " Oh ! !!" the Times' Reporter Was taken poorly, and retied; Which made him cut Hat's rhetoric shorter, Than justice to the case requir'd. On his return, he found these shocks Of eloquence all ended quite; And Wig lay snoring in his box, And Hat was—hung up for the night.

The Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Lords Lynedoch, Gambier, and Dundas, took the oaths and their seats. - CORN LAWS. The Marquis of CAMDEN presented two petitions from certain Traders in the county - of Kent, and seven petitions from as many parishes in the same county, praying that no altera tions might be made in the Corn Laws. EariFITZ WILLIAM presented five petition's from different parishes in Yorkshire to the same effect. Lora MAYNARD presented several petitions from different Hundreds, and one from atehnstbrd, to the same effect. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a peti tion from the Proprietors of Land in the vicinity of Feversham, praying that no alterations might be made in the Co►n Laws, till they had been examined before a Committee of their Lordships. The Noble Earl also presented similar petitions from several parishes in Kent, and from the town of Sittingbourne. His Lord ship then said, seeing the Noble Earl opposite in his - place (the Earl of Liverpool), he begged leave to remind him of the Address which their Lordships had sent up to his Maje Sty some time ago, humbly requesting his Majesty to order the Ambassadors and Consuls in different countries to transmit to this country the price of corn in the foreign markets, reducing the 'measures and monies to the English standard. He was anxious to know if any Returns had yet been received ; and if any were come, he would ask if it would not be advantageous, with a view to the apprOaching discussion, to have them laid on the Table ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL could assure the Noble Earl, that no time had been lost in sending circulars to the different Ambassadors and Consuls, and some returns had already been received. There could not be, he conceived, any objection whatever to laying them on their Lordships' table. The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished the Noble Earl would also ascertain whether or not there would be any ob-: jection to laying all the Returns on their Lordships' table as they might reach this country? The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought there would be no objection to this course. Lord KING said he had received a great number of petitions to present to their Lordships, praying for a revision of the Corn Laws ; but having had them only a short time in his possession, lie would then present only a few of them. The question to which they related was a most important one, the settling of which had been too long delayed ; but lie was glad to see that it 'was likely now to be soon decided. He was of opi 11 - nion that there was "no good reason for the opposition of the' landed interest, for the repeal of the laws would ultimately benefit them. He said this as a land owner, for the greater part of his property consisted in land ; but, if he thought the repeal of the laws would injure the landed interest, he should hope that he would be &Ind not so wanting to his duty as to oppose a measure that was for the good of the great mass of the people. His Lord ship then presented petitions from Dysart, from the Royal Burgh of Elgin, and from the six incorporated trades of the Royal Burgh of Band, praying for a revision of the Corn Laws. CATHOLICS. The Bishop of EXETER presented a Petition from a parish in Devonshire, praying that no further concepsions might,be granted to the Catholics. Mr. Holmes, from the Commissioners fur Arundel Harbour, presented their Annual Accounts and Reports. Mr. Levine, from the office of Inspector of Corn Returns, pre sented an Account of. the Quantity of Corn of British growth, which had been sold in Mark-lane, during the last twenty years. DUKE AND DUCHESS OF-CLARENCE; The Earl of LIVERPOOL brought down to the Muse a Message from his Majesty, which was immediately read. His Majesty inforMed their Lordships, that being desirous of mak ing a provision for their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, suitable to their present situation, he relied on their Lordships to enable him to make such a provision as the circum stances of the case required. - The Noble Earl, -on the Message having been read, gave notice that he should, to-morrow, bring the subject of the Message under the consideration of their Lord ships; and moved that their Lordships be summon e d.—O r d ere d. --Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEU. 15. ILCHESTER ELECTION. The House met at four o'clock, and having by that time got the requisite number of Members, proceeded to ballot for a Com mittee, to try the merits of the case. Strangers were admitted to the Gallery at a quarter before five o'clock. Parish of St. Alary, Drogheda, praying the Irish Turnpike Laws might be assimilated to those of England.—Laid on the Table. IRISH JUDICIAL INQUIRY. Sir JOHN NEWPOAT rose to ask, whether any steps had been taken by Government, founded on the Report of the Commissioners of Irish Judicial Inquiry, relative to the Of fice of Sheriff, and also upon the Report relative to the Office of Registrar of Deeds, which had been before, the Reuse fm seven years ? Mr. GOUL BURN replied, that the subject had met with the most serious consideration of Government. EMIGRATION. Mr. WILSTOT HORTON rose, in pursuance of a notice which he had given last Session, to move for the renewal of the Emigration Committee ; and was anxious to state, that whatever details he might new think it proper to enter'into relative to the proceedings of the late Committee, lie did so merely as the Chairman of that Committee,- and not as pretending to say any thing to the House of a definite nature. relative _to the intentions of Government on the subject. In 1823, it had been determined to try the effect of an experiment in emigration, from the South of Ireland to Canada—not from any hope tc relieve the superabunda n t p o p u l a ti on o f t h at " quarter o f t h e country, but merely for the sake of having before them the effect of an experiment tried upon a small - scale, before they ventured upon a plan of emigration on a large scale. --In the Committee on the state of the Irish poor, appoint ed in 1623, he had mentioned this project of trying the ex periment of emigration from the South of Ireland, on a small scale, and the Committee, in their Report, laid on the Table of the House in 1824, had approved of the sug gestion. In 1825, another vote had been proposed to Parlia ment, for again trying the effect of an experiment in emigre tion on a small scale, from the South of Ireland to Canada ; and the - vote had then been opposed, as being contrary to all sound principle. It was said that these trifling deSultory emi grations were of no use whatever, and that nothing could afford... any relief to the superabundant population of Ireland, except a plan of emigration on a very extended scale. To this it was ane swered, that matters were not ripe for venturing upon such an extended plan of emigration. That the proposition before the House was one merely in the nature of an experiment to enable them to form some accurate judgment how far a grant and ex ' tended emigration might he beneficial or practicable. At length the proposition was agreed to, upon the understanding that a Committee should be appointed to examine the subject. That Committee was appointed accordingly ; and sat in the last Par liament ; and examined Colonial and every kind of evidence which they could find on the subject. He did not, by any means, intend to say, that the Committee had fully examined the subject. They had not been able to go completely through it, so as to exhaust it; but he believed the public were fully persuaded that they had produced a body of evidence of the most valuable kind. He should not do justice to the evi dence which they had elicited from the South of Ireland.— The evidence of the Bishop of Litherick, of Doctor Doyle, and others, before the former Committee, was decisive as to the state of the population of Ireland at that period ; the sufferings arose out of a total want of employment, which prevented the lower orders from obtaining .the merest necessaries of life ; they wan dered over the face of the country dependent for subsistence upon either charity cr plunder. From this class of beings, unfortunate in their condition, and useless to the State, the emigrants were selected, who, under the superintendence of Mr. Robinson, were planted in Upper Canada. Of 180 families sent- out in 1823, 120 had been located, and remained in the stations assigned to them, while 40 families derived subsistence from employment as labourers, and in the summer proceeded to the United States. The 120 families were fixed, and, as it were, rooted to the soil, and they were prosperous and happy. A statement of the property they had acquired up to 1826 would be laid before the Committee about to be appointed, by which it would ap pear that it amounted to 7,000/. ; and if it increased in the same ratio in the course of five years, it would be 30,0001. All these persons had been redeemed from a state of absolute destitution, misery, and degradation, and had been placed in a Colony, the soil of which was of incalculable fertility : they had been established in a situation where human foot had nevSr before trodden, anti they had only to scratch the exuberant earth to secure as bountiful a harvest as was ob tained in this country by the most laborious and skilful cultiva tion. On the question, whether the emigrants were themselves satisfied, he had only to refer to the evidence of Col. Talbot, than whom no man could be a more competent witness. He had ac companied Sir Peregrine Maitland, the Lieutenant-Governor, on his tour of inspection, and found them all successful and contented Thus the possibility of locating thesepereons, and of enabling then! to maintain themselses by their own industry, was demonstrated. In the Appendix to the Report of the Emigration - Committee, was an Address from them, which showed how well pleased they were with the change of their condition ; and the last advices from them shewed that their improvement was in every respect progressive. Postponing, therefore, the question, whether it was fit to incur the expence proposed for such an object, it was manifest that the object had been completely attained. The next inquiry was, whether the inhabitants of Upper Canada were pleased or dis pleased, by the encouragement to emigration thus afforded ; and, upon this point, he called the attention of the House . to an Ad dress presented to Sir P. Maitland, from the County of Northum berland, and to six other Addresses from other divisions of Ca nada, all breathing the same spirit, and rejoicing in the adop tion of such a plan. The feeling of the Colonists most de cidedly was, that the elements of improvement in Canada were comprised in the increase of population—that thus, and thus only, their prosperity could be augmented, and their .import= mice at length so much enlarged as to enable them to take that station it was ' their object to reach, and their right to expect. The Colonial witnesses - were uniform iu their testimony upon this subject ; they were all interested in the advancement of Canada, and they would not, of course, have given evidence in favour of a system which they thought would be prejudicial ; although they were of different political sentiments, they were unaninaaus on the benefits of emigration, and could see no reason why the capital advanced to the settlers should not he repaid, if not in money, in money's worth, so that the whole sum would substantially be re turned. As the families of the emigrants spread, the market for British manufactures was widened, and the pursuance of the plan of colonization seemed to promise ae series of benefits, which it would not be dangerous to anticipate. In our own empire it was indieputably true that the proportion between capital and manual labour had not been preserved, and the consequence was, that the labouring classes did not receive that remuneration for their exer tions which w as cons i s t en t w ith th e i r prosper ity, a nd hardly with 1 their existence. The conclusion, therefore, to which the Sorn a ie rt r Committee had come was most sound and just; one m p u _ i of our dominions required population, which the othercould thus bes tow with advantage, and the wants of one country c be supplied by the superfluities of the other. ft was a great to Mistake entertained by many, that, if e migration were carried oplving labourers to the Co_ - couritge it, on the principle of su, limited to the passage,, and lonistr ; that the expense should he Any !great extent, it was the policy . of this country to en that the unhappy beings should be landed on the shores of Ca degrees into the bosom of th e co l ony. The a ; and principle absorbed n 'o d l o .b i e i d ed bY in former instances had been of an oppo site character. The object had been to plant th e p ersons sent over —t o enable them to take root in t the soil by furnishing them with capital, not in money but in kind, and thus placing them in a condition rather to need labourers themselves than to supply labour to others. Admitting it to be true, that, where the price of labour was high, it was prudent to introduce labourers, vet, if they Were to be gradually absorbed, as he had mentioned, the poii4 at which absorption would end must soon arrive ; while if the emigrants were placed_in a situation of being able to repay the advance, and the expense, if not in the whole in part, there was He N dorappea l all the to no intaginable li m it to t h e reception of new colonists, but the oc cupationhey et any m untitled an fertile w b b n e t ther the advantageslands of tl le Coafna con tinning tinning the plan hitherto pursued we're not almost too ob• vious Ito require argument. The settler would be firmly • fixed in the soil, instead of taking his chance of obtaining subsistence—instead of being, like a plant thrown down upon the earth, e i t h er to take Toot or to be withered by the sun, he svduld he like a young and vigorous tree set by a careful band with all advantages of soil and climate. There was not one trait of resemblance between the happy state of the emigrant now, and his miserable condition,- while he remained in hie native country. ,At present he saw his little stock in- 1, MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up - a Message from his Majesty, which WAS put into the hands of the SPEAKER, who read it as follows : "G.

His children, instead of being Curses, were blessings, and sup plied him with labour, as his means enlarged, and the neces sity for assistance increased. He began to see his way to in dependence, if n o t t o wea lth, an d thi s delightful •change was produced by. abandoning a country in which not one ray of hope beamed upon him, to illuminate the dreary darkness of his course. The Committee, in their Report, bad not thought it necessary to enter into mtich detail on the mode in which emi gration ought to be carried into effect. They had been required rather to sanction a principle than to settle arrangements, and it was left to Government and to Parliament to decide inwhat way the principle should be carried in toeffect. It was for the House to con eider whether the expense necessarily incurred, in the outset, could be repaid, so as ultimately to add nothing to the claims upon the national purse. No man could venture to predieatethatthe whole would be re turned. There was no doubt that much of the money advanced would find its way back to this country: The settler was only called upon to reimburse the state, as his wealth and his means augmented, and there seemed no reason in the world why this com paratively trifling out-lay should not be incurred, for the sake of producing so much happiness, and, in the end, increasing the prosperity and resources of the whole empire. He had never heard from any quarter an objection to the principle of emi gration, as applicable to the peculiar circumstances of the country, excepting as it was founded upon the supposition that the expence was beyond any conceivable advantage. He took it for granted, that no man could deny that the remuneration for labour in Ireland was far below the wants of the labourer-- that the effect of such a state of things was, in the end, to equalize poverty, and to spread it like a blasting mildew over the whole face of the country. If any Irian held out a hope that schemes of forced capital, of 'colonization at home on land's of inferior fertility, would remedy the evil, he thought he could promise, that before the Committee concluded its labours, it would be conclusively proved that such a hope was worse than &Has-ions. The only effect of such a course would be to continue the worst characteristics of that which it was intended to improve —that of splitting farms and the cottage system in Ireland ; and at no very distant period the evils, of which we had now to corn plain, would be aggravated by the very experiment to remedy them. He now begged to call the attention of the House to the case as it related to England : he wished to establish by evi dence, before the Committee, that emigration might be car ried on from England without any outlay of public money, ' and that parishes would be induced to pay such a proportion of the charge as would be sufficient for the purpose, wheat combined with the unequivocal means the emigrants them selves could furnish. He would mention a case, which sup posed the re-payment of all the money advanced—that of the parish of Shipley, in Sussex, with which he had been furnished by the Hononrable Member for that county. If the House attende'd to the details respecting this single parish, he should be able, with more effect, to argue the question in its general application to tlee rest of the empire. The rental of the parish of Shipley wag two thousand five hundred and ninety-nine pounds, and the poor rate 2,314/. If he were asked why the poor rate amount ed to a sum so near the whole rental, ha should reply, that high prices during the war had brought thither a population which now must be maintained. The paupers were tethered there by the operation of the Poor Laws, and especially of those which related to settlements. Forty-nine cottages were unable to pay rates at all, and sixty-seven able bodied labourers, precisely such as it was desirable to expect to make their fortunes in North America, were employed in digging and breaking atones for the roads, not because their labour was advantageous, but because, it was better to employ them in this way than to allow them to remain in idleness. Forty-seven persons, unable to undergo bard work, were maintained in their own houses, and 70 were kept in the poor-house. There were 233 regular labourers whom every landholder in the parish was obliged in turn to employ in the following ratio :—the farmer who rented good land to the amount of 101., or had land to the amount of 11/. or 12/. a year, was compelled to give work to one man, and in proportion upwards, as the rent increased, the occupier of land worth 100/. a year having nine labourers to provide with employment. Six men were, in fact, as many as he wanted, so that three were absolutely superfluous. The expellee of 233 labourers at 9s. each per week, was 5,432/., from which 33 per cent., or 1 Cl7l. WaS to he deducted for unneces sary labour. The addition of the pee.. roe made a total expense of 4,1311. ; and deducting the rental he had already mentioned, the expense beyond that rental was 1,638/. Why was not this surplus labour removed from the parish of Shipley ? Solely because these was no demand fr, r their labour elsewhere ; and unless emi gration were a remeq for the evil, be knew no other. In order to promote this object, those who paid the rates were were willing to furnish 50/. out of the 100/. necessary to carry each man to Canada, and to furnish him with the means of support -67 labourers were upon forced employment, and 77 were engaged upon work which was not required, making toge ther 144 men. lie would take the calculation at 100 able-bodied. labourers, and no man could contemplate the removal of the sick and infirm. The annual expense of each labourer was esti mated at 251.—consequently the charge for 100 would be 2,5001. as long as they remained in the parish. What pose:hie objection could there be to reduce this expense as far as was consistent with placing the emigrants in a situation to conquer their early difficulties—for the House ought to look at the MiIIi'MPJYI of capital capable of effecting this object. The charge of emi gration would be 10,000/., of which the parish was willing to pay half, and 5000/. could be raised by annuity for ten year's, at 6471. Thus the poor-rate for 100/., now amounting to about 2,500/. would instantly be reduced to 6471., a diminution of nos less than 75 per cent. This statement he should be prepared Sc. lay, and prove before the Committee ; and when such facts as these became generally known among agriculturists, they would be immediately sensible of the great advantage of lending their aid to promote Emigration. What would be the effect in Ire land ? Those who had already settled so touch to their satisfiw tion in Upper Canada, had already written to their friends de scribing the contrast of their situation, and using all incen tives to induce others to come out and partake their ad vantages. The correspondence between Mr. Robiuson and the Emigrants of 1823 and 1825, proved how well eon- ' tented they were in their new situation, and how heartily they congratulated themselves on the change. In his replies. that Gentleman had required them to forget the past, and to obey the laws, and there seemed no chance that they would be inattentive to his recommendation. Any man, therefore, who did not approve of emigration in the present c ircumstances of the country, must view facts with eyes very different from those with which he contemplated them. It was an advantage ate tenclant upon emigration to countries like Canada, that every succeeding class of einigrants presented a market for the Con sumption of the products, whether of agriculture or manufac tures, supplied by those who preceded them, thereby at once receiving and conferring advantages ; and when be considered the matter in that light, he could not, for the life of him un derstand how the argument they heard repeated so often could be supported—that a limited number of Colonists might per chance be successful, but that a greater number must certainly fail. There was another mistake into which those fell who ar pod upon the propriety of emigration, and that was when they tfgif.erinthinecreased insisted upon the advantages resulting from the liberal employ_ improve. ment of capital. Now, so far from the increase of capital carry ingßra quite cke t i l i t i e w i c c o ig n e tr l a v r as y effect. etchte. greatesttrpn with it a demand for labour as a necessary consequence, it labour is so cheap in be had in and E n g thatlEngland." d t , " n ' e. i l tm:1 ; 1 1 t i l n r: t c u l 3m , bnioce e lec. :T t e r t e hl • ee k es i notwithstandingfrequentlya i s i .i l (l:i f e'le)t i: l( r o: c af i lt : ll ll :l ; e c r: t i of labour, whether from agricul ture or manufactures, is dearer than it mayy to The reason be gives for that is,siotilfvl.ae any n y there able i products a irm.n deficiency of im plements, suds as machinery for manufacture, and hoes, hatrOws, and ploughs for agriculture, the latter being in every respect of the worst material and most clumsy construction.
