I In fact, it appears that steps are already taking to procure the co-operation of several great capitalists for this purpose, for the affair is of so great magnitude as to require a very powerful combination to afford any chance of success. Even then there will be mutts preliminary work to do before a negoti a ti o n ta n be commencer'. The matter is s however, at last in some train; the Spanish Governm ent is convinced an alliance with English capitallete is the only thing which can save the country from utter ruin , the threatened consequence of bad faith, end the ruinotse eons, tracts entered into with the Paris bankers. An impression has prevailed in some quarters that M. Zea Bermudez, the Spanish Minister, was opposed to the claims of the Cortes bondholders, but we have never en tertained this opinion, and it appears that at the interview between the members of the committee and the Spanish Ambassador, adverted to yesterday, he gave them distinct assurances to that effect. The dependance of the creditors, however, though it may be satisfactory to the creditors of Spain to know this, is nut on the sentiments of any Mi nister, whose turn of power may cease at any moment, so much as on the alteration of system which has taken place since the death of Ferdinand, and on the policy or rather the absolute necessity of some arrangement being made with them. It may be remarked further, that to a certain extent they have the co-operation now of the English Ministry with them, and in a much greater degree than when the Tories were in power. Sir Stratford Ginning, it appears, had very precise instructions on this point, though circum stances prevented his acting on them ; and Mr. Villiers also, there can be no doubt, has been still mere strongly directed to urge it on the consideration of the Spanish Government. It seems, the terms mentioned by the deputation at the interview with M. de Vial, of a Three per Cent. stock, and a funding of the interest, on a deferred stock, as those which the bondholders were likely to accept, were thought by that Minister to impose a greater burden than Spain could bear ; but this is an opinion in which many persons who are well acquainted with the real resources of the country do not concur, and W'e should hope, therefore, the bondholders will obtain ultimately as good or better terms than those named.— Times.

Wishing you great success in your most important sphere, in which, by the providence of God, you have been placed, I take my leave of:you at present, promising, however, if need require, to make some disclosures which will set the public on their guard against believing many aspersions that have been raised against the medicines. I remain yours most respectfully, Newcastle, December 24, 1833. P.S. Language fails to describe the awful suffering state of the lady, whose case is above described ; I have seen her sitting up for weeks together, not being able to lay down for fear of suffocation ; and in that awful state of extreme weakness has taken large and powerful doses, three times a day, of No. 2, and yet, with all this purga tion daily gained strength. Amongst a numerous circle of friends her case is deemed nothing short of a miracle, and yet the pleasing prospect is she is daily gaining strength. 1 would fearlessly challenge all the M. D.s with all their nostrums to produce a case equal to the one above, with numbers more, which had been given up by the M. D.s, who are now enjoying good health, who are sounding the fame of the Universal Medicine, but for causes, best known to themselves, decline coming forward in this public way, but are willing at any time to he re ferred to.

MESSRS. MORISON AND MOAT. British College of Health. CURE OF DROPSY, AND VARIOUS COM PLAINTS. To Mr. SHEPHARD, Hygeist, Newcastle. Dear Sir,--I should not have either troubled you or myself with my testimony in favour of Morison's Pills after such overwhelming evidence has already been laid before the public of their most extraordinary efficacy in the cure of all complaints to which the human frame is subjected, had it not been for the base calumny perseveringly thrown out against the Pills by a class of men from whom the public might have expected better things. I read, the other day, in one of the public journals, a charge preferred against the - Pills for having poisoned a person. The truth or falsehood of the charge I, of course, at present, have no means of ascertaining, but I fully believe the charge to be false, and for the following reason:—My wife, about twenty years ago, got an asthmatical complaint, from the effects of sleeping in a damp bed; the complaint gradually gained upon her constitution, until about twelve years ago, wben the difficulty of breathing became so intolerable as day after day to cause us to expect suffocation. She was principally confined to her bed ; was, for years together, not able to be without doors. She was regularly attended by the faculty, for some of whom I feel under lasting ob ligations on account of their solicitud e to render her relief. Every means were tried that physicians and surgeons could devise ; they pitied, but could not help, except in giving temporary relief. From the time of her taking so ill till about the end of 1831—being about ten years—she had blood let by the lancet or taken by leeches several hun dreds of times, besides blisters applied to her chest, some times thrice in the week, these being the princip al means from which she felt relief. During the year 1830 it was too evident that the dropsy had affected her weak and emaciated frame; she became much swollen, both in her face, bowels, and legs ; palpitation be came very painful; the Water was suspected to be col lecting near ber Heart. The only expectation both by her family and a large circle of friends was her dissolu tion ; the Faculty gave it as their opinion that her com plaint had assumed such an aspect as to preclude the last ray of hope of her recovery. Ahout this time, November, 1831, I was often urged to give her Morison's Pills, but being an enemy to what is called Quackery, I could not be prevailed on, until I bad purchased and read the " Morisoniana," in which Morison describes the true cause of all complaints, and the means of cure by the Pills. I was delighted with his theory. I hesitated no longer to try the Pills on nay Wif,, who was anxious to take any thing likely to relieve her sufferings. In December, 1831, she commenced taking the Pills ; first in small numbers, and as she gained strength of body she increased the number from five to twenty occasionally in the day. It is a remarkable circumstance that the Pills, which are a strong purgative, were the means of greatly increasing her strength. During the early part of 1832 the Dropsy gave way to the powerful effects of the Pills, and by the latter part of the had the slightest year, and up to this day she has not symptom of relapse. During 1832, little effect had been produced on her asthmatical complaint, but during this year, by the providence of God, she is greatly improv e d. She can now attend to her domestic concerns ; can take her rest at night; and is able occa sionally to walk t hree bue and b four miles a day ; the is a wonder to all who a w dou e b r. f Whether ever she may be perfectly cured seem s time the complaint a s au f fec t e : i ll ease, from the length of tation. It is now just two to prey upon the consti .years since she commenced taking the Pills, and has days during that time. The numbero tted taking them two nt aken exceeds 9 000 ! ! How is it then that she is ; ref P n oisoned ? This is my reason for believing the charg e address against the Pills to be false. I leave my name and i f 3 amilie s of great am willing to refer inquirers if with you, and ove statement iheeott:te:ro,oto answ er any re spectability, who will corroborat_ye and hin willing, either verbally or te ..ETeli have no inquiries. lam not an agent for other interest whatever in recommendi ng tee firm persuasion of their powerful and h armie.. l " 8, than a sonous) effects, in eradicating disease of every not,Poi ,, ki n d ir on , the human system. I will further state I was much troubled with Wha t was said to be a liver complaint, and was treat e d accord ingly by taking large doses of calomel, which very much i m paired my healtb. I tried the Pills, and in about a wee k my liver complaint left me, and I have felt no more of it since this took place, twelve months ago. One of ray sons became very dull of hearing, which continued to get worse, until he took the influenza, when it was raging in this neighbourhood ; he had a most violent attack. He bad a sore throat, which caused great difficulty in swal lowing, and rendered it difficult to get him to take the Pills. The complaint kept increasing for three days ; he was in a high state of fever and delirium ; we then made a desperate effort to administer the Pills ; on the fourth morning he took fourteen No. 2, and evening fifteen ditto, and the same quantity the next morning. During that day the fever had quite subsided ; he was able to come down stairs, with a good appetite; and what seemed to delight him most, he could join in the general conversa tion, having exchanged the fever for his hearing. Another son who bad from his infancy been delicate, was in the practice of frequently taking calomel, to correct his bowels. I administered the Pills to him; since, be has been quite healthy; he catches cold, when nev er esquires a ny medicines unle.s he takes three or four Pills at bed tinae and is well the next experie nce d I am decide,laityoronfing. F rom w hat I have re not suscept ibl e of taking co t h l de While i o u n n t d h e a r t t p h e e r s m o n e s ais now my duty to thank you or your very kind f maing to my f am il y , i n viaiting them to encourage them Dear Sir,—l esteem it a privilege, nay an act of justice, which I owe to myself and the public, to add my humble testimony in favour of the truly valuable medecine, Mori son's Hygeian Vegetable Universal Pills, recommended and handed to me by one of your subagents, Henry Ssmp• son, of Bowdoinham. Being a carpenter by trade, I was employed by Messrs. Sampson and Co. in building the ship Lagrange, and was taken ill about the time she sailed. After having applied to several physicians, and found little or no relief during the season, I was at last persuaded to take the Hygeian Pills, not without strong doubts that they too would prove ineffectual. But to my surprise and great joy, I can say that, after quitting my trade for nearly a year, lam enabled to go about my business with a de gree of vigour and strength of body which I little expected, when under the hands of the faculty ; and I hesitate not to say that, in my opinion, the Hygeian Pills were the per manent cause of my recovery. Yours truly, THOMAS SKELTON. We also feel it our duty to say, that we have used the above Hygeiau Pills, and in each and every cise have found relief. We are fully satisfied that they are an ex cellent restorative. Yours with esteem, JAMES TEMPLE. SIMEON PAINE. To Rufus K. Page, Esq. Bowdoinham, Sept. 2, 1833. Dear Sir,—l have made use of the Hygeian Pills sold by your agent, H. Sampson ; and to say the least my con science will allow, they are the best medicine I have ever used. I have given them to my family, old and young, and found them, in all cases, safe, and completely effectual. Yours truly, To Rufus K. Page, Esq. JOHN SMALL, Jun.

PLUNDER. OF WRECKS.—A correspondent writes—" We regret to announce that seine respectable persons in the county and borough of Carmarthen have been convicted in penalties fur concealing part of the cargo of the ship Brothers, wrecked on Cefn Sidan Sands, as noticed in our last. We the more deplore this circum stance, as, if the infatuated creatures (tempted by the pinching hand of poverty, and with a large family perhaps to provide for) who may be considered wreckers had not a mart for their merchandise, so much of the enormities which have hitherto disgraced our coast would not have been heard of, especially when we are aware of the very liberal salvage alluwed by Act of Parliament to persona rendering help to their fellow-beings in such distress. We trust, from the examples now made (and which we hope to see followed up if necessary), that ere long the inha bitants of the principality on the sea-coast will be distin guished for that alacrity in saving the property of their fellow-creatures, when tossed up by the merciless waves of the sea, as they are in the hospitality of their homes. In consequence of the foregoing convictions, great part of the cargo has been given up by persons whom, under such circumstances, we do not like to inention."..Cambrian. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council met on l Tuesday in the Council Chamber, Whitehall ; present, the Right Hons. Sir Launcelot Shadwell, Sir James Parke, Sir John Bosanq net, Thomas Erskine, Sir Alexander Johnston, and Sir Edward East. The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Cannel! in Waiting. The appeal "The Bank of Bengal v. the East India Company" was resumed. The case has arisen out of the extensive forgeries at Bengal, and although the amount in dispute in the present instance is but emall, yet the decision is of great importance, as there are a number of transactions of a similar nature. The counsel for the appellants contended that the East India Company were liable for notes signed by their authorized officer. In the case of "Brice and Co. v. the East India Company," tried in the Supreme Court of Madras, there was no objection made either to the juris diction or the liability. This was not a debt contracted between sovereign and subject, as the King of Great Britain was the sovereign, and it was absurd to suppose that the debt was contracted on behalf of the state of Great Britain ; but it was merely between the bank and a trading corporation. The laws were the same in the matters of partnerships and in corporations for the pur poses of trade. A great many sections from different Acts of Parliament were quoted, as applying to the mode of conducting the affairs of the Company. Conclusive evi dence had been produced to show the recognition of the note by the East India Company, since it appeared that when the plaintiff was about to advance money on the note in question, he inquired at the proper office of the East India Company if the note was genuine. The answer was in the affirmative'. This was a recognition by the proper constituted authority, and as conclusive evidence of this recognition had been produced, the question of forgery (as regarded the nate) was immateri el. The Right Hon. Thomas Erskine gave judgment on the part of their Lordships. This was an action for three bills against the East India Company, as indorsees. The instruments proved to be forged, although bona fide dis counted by the plaintiffs, who had sent to the office of the Accountant-General, where such notes are registered, and that clerk, whose deity it was to examine them, declared them genuine. Upon this certificate the plaintiffs ad vanced their money. The company state that the clerk had no authority to give effect to promissory notes, which were not so in fact, even admitting that the clerk bad acknowledged them to be genuine. The authority of the clerk to authenticate promissory notes had not been made out. These notes were always signed by the Secretary to the Government, and were also checked by several other officers in a formal way. Authority had been given in 1824 to the clerk to keep the register and examine the notes, and he bad been in the habit of putting his initials, which showed that he found they agreed with the register, and that be considered them genuine, but the Company had not authorized the clerk to give validity to notes ; the caution practised by the Company in not paying even the interest of their notes without examina tion by two of their servants, proved that the Company could not contemplate giving authority to one servant to authenticate their notes. The decree of the Court below was therefore affirmed. POST OFFICE. The conduct of the Post Office authorities, in charging full letter postage for newspapers arriving from abroad, as well as for small parcels of samples of colonial and other• produce sent by shipping, has been for some time past, and continues to be, the subject of strong animadversions. Two recent instances of the exorbitant and impolitic de mands made by the Post Office will show the injurious practice now followed by the General Post Office. A merchant in the city received from Holland a small packet, containing samples of Carolina rice, without any instruction by letter contained in the parcel, that being furnished in the usual correspondence letters of the firm, but for this small packet the Post Office demanded 1/. 12s. The party receiving the package went to Post Office, to obtain a reduction, but only a partial sum was directed to be taken cff, when the merchant, rather than submit to such a charge, refused to take in the parcel, and was unable to complete the order. Thus a mercantile transaction was prevented, to the injury of our com merce. This is not a solitary instance, and we are assured that daily numerous similar complaints are made of the Post Office charging full postage dues on parcels arriving by vessels, which ought not to pass through the Post Office department at all. In this way, probably, the increase in the Post Office department, in the last quarter may be accounted for, but to the prejudice of the commercial interests. The other instance to which we would refer came within our own observation to- , lay.— A packet of American papers was addressed to a well known establishment in the City, and the moderate charge of 21. 13s. 3d. was affixed on the packet by the Post Office authorities, though the packet did not contain more than a dozen old newspapers. A few days since a similar packet was sent, charged nearly 61. Both of course were refused, and the packages returned to the Post Office, where, in all probability, they will go to augtneut the perquisites of an official, by their sale as waste paper. They manage these things better in America, and more in consonance with the liberal feelings of the age. Our Post Office authorities, by placing so heavy a charge on the receipt of foreign newspapers into this country, apps• rently endeavour to check the obtaining of foreign intel ligence; while in America every facility is afforded to the free circulation of the journals, a charge of only six cents being made for the transmission of one or more news• papers. It is confidently hoped that the subject will be brought forward in the ensuing session, and that some remedy will be afforded to the acknowledged grievance, which exists to so great an extent, and is so severely felt, especially by our merchants, being compelled to pay by weight for samples of produce received from abroad, as well as the great impost placed on the receipt of foreign newspapers.—Morning Advertiser. CORTES BONDS. Some gentlemen who form part of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders, had an interview last week with the Chevalier de Vial, the new Ambassador from the Spanish Court, at which some friendly discussion took place relative to the claims of the English creditors under the Cortes loans, the views entertained by the creditors as to compensation, and the probability of those views being met by the Spanish Government. The whole of the conversation was strictly unofficial, the Ambassador dis tinctly stating that he had no authority to confer with them on this subject, and the members of the committee being also without instructions from the body at large ; but the purport of it necessarily interests so many persons, that it becomes highly proper to make it more generally known. The objects of the deputation were to show the impolicy of the course pursued by Spain with respect to financial matters ; the validity of the claims, over and over again established, of the bondholders; the fairness of the loans made with the Cortes, proof being offered of their being as favourable as the early loans with France under less critical circumstances, and of the extent of the remittances under them to Spain ; to state the distressed situation of hundreds of English families, original subscribers to those loans, and reduced to poverty by the bad faith of Ferdinand ; and, finally, to urge the Chevalier de Vial to make a forcible repre sentation to his Court of all these circumstances, and to claim on their behalf the relief sought. Their reception was extremely kind and encouraging, and the Ambassador undertook without delay to transmit to his Court the particulars of the interview. On being pressed to state the nature of the arrangement which would, in the opi • nion of the deputation, be acceptable to the bondholders, they intimated their belief that they would be satisfied with a recognition of the debt ; the payment of interest immediately at the rate of 3 instead of 5 per cent. ; an i a funding of the arrears of interest in a S p er cent. de ferred stock, on which interest should be come p a y able at the end of tea years. The conversat ion, which was tf some length, turned on various other matters, onl y worth notice as proving that Spain is now represented at this Court by a man who entertains just and enlightened views of the policy which ought to be pursued in this ques tion ; that the English creditors are placed in a very dif ferent situation by the death of Ferdinand, and that they may feel morally certain of having their claims favourably entertained by the Queen's Government. The state of the country may delay the final settlement, and the condition of its finances may make it fall short of their actual claims, but that they must, at no great dis tance of time, be finally disposed of, seems all but certain. The restoration of Spanish credit, now that the dispo (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Mr. Williams stated, that at a -Court, held on the 19th December last, a motion was made to the effect that the officers of the Corporation might give evidence to the King's Commissioners in the present inquiry. This motion was adopted, yet the Lord Mayor refused to put it, and did not dissolve the Court, as had been stated was the practice, but directed that other business should be pro ceeded with. The motion was altered, and again put, after considerable confusion bad taken place, and the amended resolution shared the same fate with its predecessor. Mr. Woodthorpe believed that the first resolution was withdrawn. Mr. Williams was of a different opinion. Mr. Woodtborpe, in continuation, stated that the Lord Mayor might refuse to put a motion, if he considered it improper, until a motion is put by the Recorder. The Lord Mayor may refuse to sanction it, and so pass to other business. Such was exactly the case cited by Mr. Williams. Mr. Pritchard contended that this was not the fact. Mr.Woodthorpe said, that in points touching regularity or irregularity the Lord Mayor had the chief power, and could stop any motion, but it was at his peril. Mr. Pritchard had a very different view of the case. The Lord Mayor stood in the same position with the Common Council as his Majesty in Parliament; otherwise the Lord Mayor would possess absolute power. Mr. Woodthorpe never knew a Chief Magistrate ac tuated by private feeling refuse to put a question. There were, however, instances of questions, not of order merely, being rejected b) the Lord Mayor for the time being. The Court of Common Council did not possess exclusively the power over the funds of the City, although that body exercised, to an unlimited extent, the power of drawing on the City funds for the purposes of the City ; this power had been so exercised for the last century. There were no City officers absolutely under the control of the Court of Common Council. 13y.laws for the government of the Companies may be framed by the Court of Common Council, should the particular Companies desiring the by-laws present petitions to that effect. He was not aware that the Court of Aldermen bad the power of drawing on the city funds in consequence of an order of Common Council ; such an order might exist. Two hat thundred Commonye ars c ago ou an Council il should order was be e consulted , passed consenteffect t ob- Lined, before any money should be disbursed out of the chamber. The Court of Aldermen was the executive government of the city, in which capacity it had a treasury and power over the funds thereof. The Common Coun cil had the right of applying the common seal to all instruments where it was required. The Common Coun cil had had this power since 1778. Previous to that pc - clod the power was vested in the Court of Aldermen. It is now affixed by order of a court of Common Council. It is kept in a chest having three locks and keys. One key is kept by the Lord Mayor, one by the Court of Aldermen, or one of its members; and the other by the Court of Com mon Council, or one of its members. It was by an order of the Court of Aldermen that this power became vested in the Common Council. Before the change, the seal was affixed by the Court of Aldermen, the officer presenting the instrument being in some degree responsible for its contents. At the period he bad mentioned Alderman Harley, he believed it was, who, from some cause or other, threw down the key of the chest in a fit of passion. A Member of the Common Council took it up, and said be should never hold it again. This circumstance occasioned the change in the keeping of the Common Seal, the legend on it is—" Sigillam Baronum Londiniarum." The Seal is usually affixed by the Town Clerk, and the docquets recorded in the minutes of the Court. He did not say that the Court of Common Council had not the power of refusing the Seal. Mr. Galloway observed that there were many cases of such refusal. The Court then adjourned. STEEPLE CHASE AT ASHBORNE.—MateIt for 1001.—Friday a Steeple Chase came off over the Ash borne course, two miles, between Captain Barton's mare and Captain Dawson's horse, both of the 14th Light Dra. goons—.the mare ridden by Mr. Knox, of the sth Dragoon Guards ; the horse by Captain Deltne. On arriving at Ashborne much difficulty ensued in procuring the course, and poles to mark it out could not be found ; however, owing to the suggestion of some of the gentlemen, it was agreed the horses should start and have their own line, giving them an object to run to and return. Both horses went away at a furious pace, the mare taking a good lead, when at the fifth fence she rushed so furiously that she came on her bead, but was quickly pulled on her legs by her rider, and again went away; she again came down crossing a stubble-field, was again pulled and kept her place, but was evidently much blown and abroad ; in attempting to leap a river she was unable to clear it, and went in. Captain Delme's horse cantered over the course and won easily.—Derby Paper. On Tuesday last we were visited by a dread ful storm of wind and rain, which continued without intermission during the greater part of the day. We much fear that severe losses at sea must have occurred from the heavy squalls, which have been productive of so much damage on land. One of the pinnacles of St. Thomas's church, on Brampton Moor, was blown down and fell on the roof, which it perforated, and split one of the main timbers. The pinnacle had been secured to the tower b y an iron bolt of great strength, which it brought away wit'i it, and, after damaging the roof, it fell to the ground. The pinnacle of the church in Dailey Dale, on which was placed the weather vane, was also blown down. In numerable windows were blown in, and much damag's was done to the roofs of houses and other buildings by the falling of chimneys, &c. At Park Hall, near Barlborough, the residence of Mrs. Chandos Pole, one of the chimneys was blown down, and about 40 large trees in the neigh bourhood of B. Bowden, Esq., of Southgate House, were levelled to the ground by the violence of the wind. At Stockport the interposition of Divine Providence has been signally manifest in one instance. In St. Peter's-gate, the residence of Dr. Turner, a stack of chimneys was blown down. It crushed in the roof, and made its way through the floors to the apartments below, where the family, w ith several visitere, were about to sit down to dinner ; and although several articles of furniture were destroyed, nut one of the party was injured. We have nut heal CI of any p,rsonal injury having been sustained,—Derblisbire Courier. COALS.
