AN eminent Medical Writer has remarked, and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute that those who are attentive to keening the Stomach and Bowels in proper order, preserve Health, prevent Disease and generally attain robust, cheetful, and healthy Old Age ; for that truly desirable purpose STIRLING'S STOMACH PILLS Are particularly adapted, being Prepared with the Sul Pbate of Quinine, and the most Choice Stomachic and Aperient Drugs of the Materia Medica. They have in all cases proved superior to every other medicine in the cure of Stomach and Liver Compl tints, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, sensation of Fulness, Pain, and Oppression after Meals, habitual Costiveness, Flatulence, Shortness of Ilreath, St omac h C oug h s , Spasms, Worms, and Fits in children and grown persons, and all disorders incident to the Stomach and Bowels. They are also truly efficacious in the cure of Colds, Agues, Asthmas, Rheumatism, (lout, Jaundice, Dropsy, and Gravel, and on excellent re storative a f t . r any excess, or too free indulgence at Table, as they gently cleanse the Bowels, strengthen the Stomach, sweeten the Breath, cheer the Spirits, brace the Nerves, induce a Healthy Action of the Liver, improve Digestion, and invigorate the whole Constitution. Females who value good health and personal appearcnce should never be without them, as they purify the Blood, remove Obstruc tion, Pi mp l es, Cutaneous Eruptions, Sallowness, &c., and give th e skin a beautiful, clear, healthy, and blooming ap pearance. Persons of a Plethoric habit who are subject to Head- ac h e , Gi dd i ness, Dimness of Sight or D rows i ness , Singing Noise in the Ears, which indicate too great a flow of blood to the head, should be particular to take them frequently. They are so mild and gentle in their action that children and persons of all ages may take them at any time, as they do not contain Mercury or any Ingredient that requires confinement or restriction of diet. Many Healthy and aged Individuals, some of One Hundred Years and upwards, make it a rule to take them too or three time a week, by which they preserve their health, and keep off the infirmities of age. They should be kept in every Family as a Remedy in case of Sudden Illness, for by their prompt administration, Cholera Morbus, Cramps, Spasms, Fevers, Apoplexy, and other alarming Complaints which too often prove fatal, may be speedily cured or prevented. Numerous Patients, whose cases had been considered hopeless, have been restored to sound health by them. To describe all their excellent properties and the cures they have performed would fill volumes and exceed credibility ; in fact, there is scarcely any disease to which the human frame is subject that they will not either prevent or cure, and none in which they can pos sibly do harm. Prepared only by J. W. Stirling, Chywist, 86, High street, Whitechapel, in Boxes at i 3 d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and Ils. each, and may be had of all the principal Medi cine Venders in the Kingdom. Itar In consequence of the great Success of these Pills, in preserving Health and removing Disease, as well as to protect the public against spurious imitations, his Majesty's Commissioners have permitted the name of J. W. Stirling to be engraved on the Government Stamp. WASHING WITHOUT LABOUR. WARIVIOLL and Co.'s celebrated PURIFIED SOAP, for Wasiing Linen. This valuable article is particularly recommended to the Public as decidedly pre ferable to every other soap, possessing the invaluable quality of eradicating grease, dirt, and stains from Linen, white or coloured, with one• fourth the labour required by the use of common Soap, rendering the linen beautifully white and clear. It is extremely harmless in its compo sition, so much so, it is used for washing children of the most tender age. The unpleasant and hurtful effects of , wet linen being long on hand is ob v i a t e d b y t h e use o f t hi s I desirable article, likewise the things from being torn by excessive rubbing, as they have only once to be rubbed, agreeable, to directions on each packet. The Directions must be strictly attended to. Originals of Testimonials of the First Families and Public Institutions, also from ex tensive4aundresses, may be seen at the Factory. Large Consuniers may have a person from the establishment to superintend a trial, and fully prove its merits. The manufacturers are determined to afford the Public every satisfactory demonstration. (No Family ought to be without it.) It is excellent for exportation. Superior,to any for washing in salt water.

The universal success which has hitherto attended all Life Insurance Companies renders it unnecessary to enl 'rev upon the numerous advantages held out by such establish ments for the investment of capital, as well as the benefits arising to all classes of the community. If any example was, however, requisite, it would 1w sufficient to quote the recent appropriation of profits amounting to nearly two millions sterling, by an office established little more'than twenty .five years, whose original called up capital was only one hundred thousand pounds. The Directors do not, therefore, contemplate calling up more than TWO POUNDS PER SHARE, which will form an ample fund for conducting the business, and which it is their intention to commence on the Ist of January, 1834, or whenever the Directors may deem it expedient. Interest will be paid to the Proprietors half yearly on their deposits, and the profits of the Company will be periodically divided. For tl e convenience of parties residing in the country they may receive their dividends from the nearest Bankers to their residence, by merely advising the Secretary the name of such Bankers' London correspondent, and autho rising him to sign the requisite receipt. Applications for Shares may be made by letter, post paid, addressed to the Secretary, J. C. C. Boyd, Esq., care of Messrs. Cocks, Biddulph, and Biddulph, Bankers, Charing Cross ; to James Brown, Esq., No. 4, Austin Ft iars ; Charles Dowries, Esq., No. 8, Carlton Chambers, Regent-street; or to Messrs.

CORN LAWS, Yesterday evening a meeting of gentlemen de sirous of obtaining a repeal of the corn laws sA as held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the pur pose of taking preliminary steps for the formation of a Central Association to attain that object. Among the gentlemen present were Colonel Perronet Thompson, the Hon. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, Mr. Rosson, Mr. Nicholson, of Fenchureh-street, Mr. Fearon, Sir J. S. Lillie, C. 8., Mr. Williams, of Watling -street, Mr. Ashurst, Mr. Pouncy, Mr. Owen, of Bethnal-green, Mr. J. C. Loudon (au thor of the Encyclopaedias of Agriculture and Gardening), &c. &c. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE, C. 8., having been called to the chair, stated that the object for which they were then met was that of promoting an Asso ciation for the purpose of accomplishing the repeal of the obnoxious tax upon that most necessary article of life called bread. On a late occasion, one of his Majesty's Ministers was reported to have expressed himself, in common with his Colleagues, averse to the existing corn laws. But it was to be re gretted that the same Minister, on that occasion, was reported to have stated, that the Ministers had no disposition to alter those laws, inasmuch as they apprehended a division of opinion to exist in the minds of the people on that subject. If, however, that argument were to hold good against the repeal of the corn law, it would operate equally agai st every other measure of public utility. It was a consolation, however, to know that those opposed to a repeal of these laws were as nothing, compared with the great mass of the people who were deter mined that they should be repealed. It was by the voice of the people that his Majesty's Ministers were brought back to office, and empowered to carry Parliamentary Reform ; and he doubted not that the voice of the people would enable them to carry the repeal of the corn laws.—(Hear, hear.) Societies similar to that which they had met to establish were in progress of formation all over the country ; and he believed there could be no doubt their joint efforts would be successful. So far from their success being injurious to the farmers and landowners, it was the opinion of the most enlight ened men that it would have a directly contrary effect.—(Hear, hear.) Rosso:, in rising to move the first resolu tion, said that he found his opinions with reference to this most important question so ably stated in Sir Henry Parnell's work on Financial Reform, that it would be useless for him to do more than quote the words of that eminent writer :—" The land- lords of England, instead of lending all their efforts to secure the continuance of the corn laws, should use their influence to obtain the followieg measures; first, a commutation of tithes; secondly, an altera tion of the law of waver, so as to establish the same facility in England as there is in Scotland, in pre venting alienation by tenants, and in enforcing other conditions of leases; thirdly, the restoration of the poor law system to what it was in 1795; fourthly, the establishing a free trade in banking, so that the farmer may have the advantage of the system of cash credits and deposits as it exists in Scotland." As this was merely a preparatory meeting he simply quoted this as a sort of profession of faith on this great question. He begged to move : " Ist. That the necessary tendency of the corn laws being to cramp industry, and limit production, it is, in so fir as operative, a great source of loss, rendering the coun try less able to bear its heavy burdens than it otherwise would be." _ _ The resolution was then seconded and agreed to Mr. OWEN said that the resolution he was thou' to n o t e m n move n c nn o t th n i voo t i ai tne ‘ ri vtw e h dae had a ef apdtsr oo l mbpeo e reot v nem i r d soc e ton of em t f the p t l h ecompletely rlyoexistingproposition.th T frustrated. oof corn ecoor h rnn e laws That h intention e i in this country; whereas their effect clearly had been to diminish that growth. From an inspection of the returns, the imports from 1815 up to the pre sent time had been increasing in a ratio considerably greater than the increase of population. With re spect to upholding high rents, the effect of the corn laws appeared to have been entirely contrary to the wishes of those who were desirous of establishing so shameful a monopoly, for it was notorious thit for some time past rents had, by the system of re turns at the audit day, been diminished far beyond what was apparent upon the face of the rent roll. The effect of the corn laws of this country upon the principal foreign corn markets, such as Dantzic and others, was to raise the prices of corn there just at the precise time when the maximum price of corn here allowed of importation. At most periods the prices of corn at Dantzic, &c., were very much lower than in our markets, but when the importation to this country was necessary, the price became nearly equal to ours. In consequence, the foreign manufacturers had the constant advantage of cheap labour ; but when we needed their corn, we could not obtain it, except at the exorbitant price created by the unsteady and sudden demand. The evidence taken before the Committee on trade and Commerce, most strongly marked how injuriously the corn laws bore upon that important branch of our commerce, namely our shipping. It shows that at Memel, beef was 235. per cwt., bread 14c. per cwt.; at Hamburg, beef 245. per cwt., bread 13s. per cwt. While at the same time in England, beef was 445. to 48s. per cwt., and bread 20s. to 21s. per cwt. The difference in seamen's wages was similar. The foreigner paid 30s. per month, in England we paid 60s. Here wai a difference sufficient to drive our shipping from all fair competition with the fo reign owner, and produced a reduction in English freight that put fair remuneration out of the ques tion. This state of things, no doubt, acted equally on the manufactures, and gave the foreigners an advantage that would be totally destroyed by an open trade in corn. Our shipping and manufactures would, by a repeal of the corn laws, receive an im pulse most beneficial to all interests in the country. He then begged to mov , — " That not only does the corn law directly injure the mantvacturer, merchant, and shipowner of this country, by preventing the production and exportation of goods which would be sent abroad to pay for corn, bur al.o indirectly in a very serious manner, by preventing the demand of this country from uniformly acting upon the continental corn-market, thus occasioning a cheapness of food abroad, which would not °them ise exist, and ena bling foreign manufacturers to compete with us in common markets." Mr. MERLE, in seconding the motion, observed that it came within his own knowledge that there was a considerable trade going on with Prussia in the article of beef, for shipping which ourselves would have furnished had not our capital and in dustry been artificially turned to the production of dear corn. He also stated that, some years ago, a proposal was made by a company of English capi talists to establish works for the supply of water in Paris by pipes, a proposal which the French Government was very desirous of accepting, but that on inquiry it was found that it would take nearly thirty years for the iron masters of France, with their limited means of production, and the thereforersii pipes to establish demands upon them from ot her q uarters, to su pp l y the quantity of iron pipe s necessar y for the under etask ta i b ng list ii:thewol. works t withoutwas question. from England, and application was made for per mission to import th em, either dut y free, or at a low rate of duty. The answer of the Mi nister on that occasio n, was, tha t i n his anx iet y to o supply impossible l pe see an object so conducive to the health and cleanliness of the City of Paris, as the abundant and economical supply of water accomplished, lie France. That gentleman had said recently, when perplexed as to the means of obtaining a suf ficient supply of iron rail-way for his contem plated improvements, and by the demands made from various quarters for the admission of British coal into France without the present heavy irrp”rt duty, that he was prevented from following the course which his sense of duty pointed out, by the Engli , h corn laws, the existence of which precluded all idea of the removal of restrictions, however injurious they might be to the interests of the French nation, if such removal were to be attended with advantages to this country. If the English restrictive laws were repealed, said M. Thiers, there would be an end of all the clamour in France against concessions to British industry.—(Hear, hear.) Resolution agreed to. Mr. FEARON, in moving the third resolution, ap prehended that there were few men in the country who had not formed something like an opinion with • regard to the corn laws—laws so at war with cvLry enlightened view that could be taken of the com mercial proceedings of the country, and of the sub stantial interests of all classes of the community. It had been quite usual for patties speaking of the corn laws either to defend or oppose them upon grounds which would imply that they rested upon some principle of poli,ical economy, different from that which governed the of her interests of the country. He could not conceive any notion more based upon ignorance than that. We turned up our eyes with astonishment because the French would not re ceive our manufactures; and when we were told that the late mission which had gone to that country under the auspices of Government had not succeeded to induce them to accept the iron, cotton, and other great staple manufactures of this country, we all lamented the extreme blindness of that nation, and exclaimed that they did not understand their own interest. But while thus complaining, and justly so, of the impolicy of the French, we forgot that, in the instance of the corn laws we were pursuing precisely the same bad po licy.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It was only a week or two since that some gentlemen frem PhiLidelphia called upon him, and, in speaking of their tariff, he expressed his astonishment at the degree of ignorance manifested by some, otherwise able, men on that subject. They replied, "It is all very true, but allow us to say that we only copy the pol•cy of the mother country. Please to remember the corn laws, and whilst condemning us, it would be well to look at home; for till, you act up to the principles you profess, it is vain for you to put yourselves forward as a nation of enlightened political economists."—(Cheers.) He found, o course, that it was impossible to answer this attack.' • With respect to the object for which they were . then met, he was of opinion that no class in the • country would be more benefitted by its attainment, than the very holders of that species of property which it was falsely supposed would be. injuriously affected by it ; for the day was gone by when it could be argued that one interest could be promoted by-the depression of others. Members of Parliament, in deed, had a vocabulary of their own; and when speak ing of the country interest, the town interest, the . agricultural interest, and the manufacturing interest, it seemed as if they conceived these several branches of industry could be separately promoted, or had distinct objects to serve. It was not within the • power of human laws, or within the capacity of man, to protect one interest to the injury of others ; for in trade all have a community of interest.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. Fearon then referred to a pro test placed on the Journals of the House of Lords by Lord Grenville and fifteen other Peers, the prin ciple of which he considered to be most applicable to the subject under consideration. " Monopoly," said these Noble Lords, " is the parent of scarcity, of dearness, and of uncertainty. We think it cer tain that the principle that public prosperity is best . promoted by leaving uncontrolled the free current of national industry, and leaving commerce uriftt tered, applies more peculiarly, and on still stronger grounds of justice, as well as policy, to the corn trade than any other."—(Cheers.) Those were principles originating with and propounded by par ties whose property consisted in land, consequently, if in their minds no party could be benefited by the corn laws, they ought to exert themselves to esta blish that uncontrolled freedom of industry and un fettered state of trade, which they so emphaticallv advocated in their protest.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He begged to move—" That the corn law, not only directly injures the landowner and farmer, by pro ducing fluctuations in the price of corn, which no , calculations can foretel, and no prudence guard against, but also indirectly, in a very serious man. ner, by checking the industry, employment, and consequent wealth and increase of the consumers of this country." Mr. AsHuRsT seconded the resolution, and said he was persuaded the time was come when the question would be asked—" How long the people of England would consent to be starved ?"—and that was literally the question with the poor—to support this monopoly. He was also persuaded that public opinion had begun already to set in so strong a current that all they had to do was to con gregate together in order to obtain the accomplish.. ment of their wishes.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It was only necessary to declare that they would no longer submit to these obnoxious laws. While it was con templated to interfere with the poor laws, and to take from the poor that which they at least consi dered to be of advantage to them, it was essential to show them that the higher classes were alive to their situation, and were ready to give them a cheap loaf, if they would exert themselves to earn it.— (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put and carried. Colonel P. TllomPsoN rose to move the fourth resolution, which he read, as follows :—" That the experience of the commercial state of Italy, and the experience of Holland, prove that the free recep tion of foreign corn is most conducive to the pros perity of a trading people, producing higher wages to labourers of all kinds, end higher profits to ca pitalists, with greater steadiness in the price of food, than have ever been obtained by any system of restriction, however regulated or modified?' With respect to high wages being the result of a free trade in corn, it was so palpable a truth, that it was unn-cessary for him to go into any proof of That capitali-ts were labourets of a certain Sort, was equally irrefutable; for they laboured with their heads, as others with their hands.—(Hear, hear.) Then, with regard to steadiness of price, the }No position contained in the resolution might be demon strated, even to a child. How did we produce a steadiness of price in coffee and wine ? By letting our merchants import those articles from all quarters, and allowing all to sell them who chose. Who could pro duce an argument to show that such would not he t he case in the article of corn ? The resolution referred to the higher wages which would be obtained by la bourers, and the great profits of capitalists, under a free trade in corn ; but it omitted to notice one effect of such a system, which, like the statue of authort they e of a ere not quite so Brutus, made us think of it by i ts a b sence —that is, the higher rents which wou ld accrue to l an dlords.— (Hear, hear) He w as th e snor e glad to have the present opportunity of referring to this point, as he had only seen to-day that the author of "England and America," in some observations he had made upon a little work of his, which had obtaine d more notice than it deserved, " The Catechism of the Corn Laws," charged him with represen tin g in it that the corn laws benefited the land lords.
