It pos .& N eesaes innumerable blessings for human kind, and produces an antidote for every disorder incident to the human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable riches, is the proper study of Medical Science ; and it requires the moat laborious research to discover and develope all its various mysteries. For twenty years has our successful experience been directed to the treatment of a certain class of disorders, and ' we pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its in cipieut symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by every doulet and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much -neglected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully and studiously considered, as have also those delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether ' as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of Pity —or the more alarming results of a propensity to practices "which shun the light;" the progress of which is marked by a gradual dereliction of the animal powers. To all who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to such as are aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Commentaries, Ist, the " A4:gis of Life," a comment ar y on S exual Debility; 2d, " The Syphilist, " \ a Popular treatise on Lues Venerea, &c. ; and 3d, " llY gei!na," exclusively addressed to Females ; the perusal of Which must prove beneficial to their moral happiness.

A respectable-looking female applied for assist ance under the following circumstances :—She stated that her name was Sparkes, and that she was married to a respectable man, who was a press maker. Before her marriage she had the misfor tune to have a child, of which Mr. ;fir d, the celebrated vocalist, of Covent-garden, was the father. Ile had a long time since taken the child under his care, and undertaken to provide for it. Being, however, desirous to see her own offspring, she had applied to him several times for permission to see it, but he invariably refused. A short time since she again applied, but he at once refused, and said that it was probable that she never would see the child again. Under these circumstances she thought it proper to apply to a Magistrate for advice. Mr. MINSHULL said that he was sure Mr. W—d would allow her to see it, and told the applicant, before she took farther proceedings, to mike his. (Mr. Minshull's) compliments to him, and ask per mission again.—The applicant then retired. She appeared extremely anxious for the fate of her girl, who is now about two years old. UNION -HALL. TIIE FORCE OF LOVE.—A cow-keeper, named Cawston, residing in Newington, applied for advice under the following circumstances :—lie stated that he was very much annoyed by a female, who haunted him day and night. He could go no where that she was not after him. Mr. DAVIS (the Magistrate)—l suppose, then, the poor girl is in love with you ; is that the case ? Applicant—That is the fact, your Worship; when I goes out of a morning, with my pails, she is sure to be arter my heels ; and when I comes home, there she sticks herself afore my door, and looks for all the world like a statue. She was a servant, he said, in a gentleman's family that he used to serve with milk. She often deplored that she was not a woman of fortune for his sake, declaring that had she thousands, they should be at the command of so nice a young man. He never gave her no liberties, he said, but her father dying left her some property ; and the poor man was no sooner in the grave than she came to him (applicant), exhibited 3001., and asked him to marry her, saying that he should have the money to increase his stock of cows. On that occasion, added the cow-keeper, I told her point blank that I would not have her at any price ; howsomever she would not take this denial, and she comes after me wherever I go, and says that where ever I am there she will be also. The MAGISTRATE said he did not see how the poor girl could be hindered from following and ad miring the man she loves. Does she threaten to assault you, or do you apprehend any personal dan ger from her ? Cow-keeper—l can't say that I do ; but then, your Worship, suppose as how yourself was in my sityvation, you wouldn't like to be followed about to the houses -of your customers by a woman ? I'm sure I have done every thing as laid in my power to get rid of the nuisance. I have sloshed milk over her more than once, twice, or thrice, but that won't do. . . . Mr. DAvis—One would bo inclined to think that would cool her ardour for a lover who dashed his milk at her head. Cow-keeper—No, Sir, not a bit of it ; she's as bad as ever now, and follows me about, declaring that she will have me at last—for if she don't, nobody else shall. It was only the night afore last I shoved her down into the mud ; she got up again, went home, changed her dress, and there she was at my tail before I served half my customers with the afternoon milk. The MAGISTRATE said, that however enraptured the poor girl might be with the complainant, that wus no justification for his dashing milk at her head, or sousing her in the mud. He could not see that any assistance could be rendered from the office. —Cow-keeper—Then Pam afraid I shall lose all my customers, for seeing the girl coming after me continually, they will suppose that there is an im proper connexion between us, which, I declare most solemnly, is not the case. Mr. DAVIS remarked; that it was a pity a gill possessed of property should give way to a passion for a man who was utterly unworthy of her thoughts. The Magistrate then directed Craig, the officer, to proceed to her residence, and endeavour to impres upon her mind the folly of annoying the co-vs keeper, and informing her, that if she still persisted in doing so it would only lead to great discomfiture on her part. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on. the Woolsack at Five minutes past Five. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from the members of a Dissenting Chapel in the city of Exeter, praying for the abolition of the punishment of death for forgery. • The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the chemists and druggists of Lynn, Norfolk, against the Medicine Stamp Act. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from Birmingham, praying the House to postpone the consideration of the King Edward's Free Grammar School BR—Ordered to lie on the table. The Earl of WESTMORELAND presented a petition from Sir Jonah Barrington, praying to be heard by Counsel at the bar, and to have witnesses examined on. hie behalf.—The petition was read at length. Thi; Duke of WELLINGTON supportid the prayer of the petition. He thought it was the duty of the House to adopt some measures, ittit.rder to give itself information on this subject• The file Duke sat down by moving that the further conside- . ration of this subject be resumed on Monday se'nnight, and that witnesses should be summoned to attend on that day.—Agreed to. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE presented a pe tition from a person named Carden, stating that he had for several years considered a plan for forming a National Cemetery, and praying that the House would tale the subject into consideration. -Petitions were also presented by the same NOBLE MARQUIS from a parish in Dublin and Queen's County against the Stamp Act; from a Brach of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, against the punishment of death for forgery; from Cork, against the Vestryßill, and the increased Duty on Spirits; from Roman Catholics of Westmeath, against the Vestry Bill; from Skrene, against Tithes ; and from the Mayor of Dublin against taxation in general,and particularly against any increase of Duty on the Newspapers of Ireland. The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE moved that the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Irish Bog Drainage Bill should be discharged, and that the second reading should be fixed for Tuesday next. The Earl of WICKLOW recommended that the Bill should be withdrawn for this Session, as the Bill contained many things that would render it im possible for it to pass. On this proposition a conversation ensued, in the course of which Earl DARNLEY took occasion to observe that, from . the manner in which business was now trans acted in the House of Commtins, it was impossible for that House to give due attention to the Bills that passed through it. As a proof of this, he re ferred to the proceedings of last night, when ninety six different subjects came under consideration, forty-two of which were disposed of after twelve. Lord WHARNCLIFFE was glad that this sub ject had been mentioned. In the way in which business was now heaped upon the Commons, it was impossible that the business of the country could be well done. The cause of this was the extreme length to which the principle of the House of Lords not interfering in Money Bills was carried. No Bill with a penal clause in it was now allowed to be ori ginated in that House; because as it was supposed the passing of a penal clause was the levying a tax upon the subject. The consequence was, that the House of Commons was overloaded with business, since nearly all Bills originated there. He had spoken to several Members of that House upon the subject, and he was glad to say that a very general feeling seemed to be entertained there that the prin ciple alluded to had been carried too far. He had called the attention of their Lordships to this sub ject, because it was his intention to bring forward the subject in a regular manner at a future day. The Order was then discharged ; and the second reading of the Irish Bog Drainage Bill was fixed for Tuesday next, for which day their Lordships were ordered to be summoned. Earl GREY presented petitions from Clonmel and from Csshel, against the increase of the Irish Stamp Duties. A Message from the Commons brought up the Abolition of Fees Bill and some Private Bills. Evidence on the East Retford Bill was heard until nine o'clock, when the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. H. DUNDAS presented a petition from cer tain writers in Edinburgh, against the Scotch Judi cature Bill. Mr. A. ELLIS presented a petition from Mr. Ar nold, proprietor of the late English Opera-hous e , stating, that he was suffering from the uncertainty whether or not it was the intention of Govern ment to open a new street from Waterloo-bridge to the North-road, over the site of the late Theatre. The Hon. Member wished to hear from the Noble Lord, the Chief Commiasioner of Woods and Forests, whether it was intended to open such a street. Lord LOWTHER had only to repeat the state ment he had made upon this subject on a former day. He agreed that the proposed street would be an addition to the beauty and convenience of the town ; but there were strong objections to the un dertaking on the part of Government. The im provements in Regent-street were upon the Crown Lands, and there a return of two and a half per cent. had been obtained ; but in the situation referred to by the petition the Crown had but a small pro perty. Nevertheless, if private individuals, including the Noble Duke and others mentioned by the Hon. Member, with the aid of the Waterloo Bridge Company, were disposed to raise the rest of the money by rate upon the parishes, or otherwise, he thought he could recommend Government to go to the extent of perhaps 25,000/. upon the undertak ing. The question had been referred from the Board of Works to the Superior Board, and he did not think that he could hold out any greater degree of encouragement. Mr. HOIIHOUSE was sorry that the Noble Lord did not feel authorised to go further, for if Government did not come forward the project could never he executed, and if once the theatre were re built, the design must for ever be abandoned. He decidedly objected to any addition to the parish rates, for already they were much augmented for the support of the new police. St. George's, Hanover square, in addition to 76,000/. now raised, would next. year be called upon to furnish 12,0001. for the purposes of the police only. Whatever the Duke of Bedford or Lord Exeter might be disposed to do, the Waterloo Bridge Company was in no con dition to contribute to the undertaking, however beneficial in the end it might be to them. He yet hoped that the Higher Powers would give to the Noble Lord permission to hold out some expecta tion that Government would lend its aid for this great national improvement. Mr. AGAR ELLIS presented a petition from Mr. B. R. Haydon, the historical painter, for a want of money for the encouragement of historical painting. CLYDE NAVIGATION. Mr. W. W. WYNNE brought up the Report of the Committee of Appeal on the Clyde Navigation Bill, stating that Mr. O'Connell, a Member of the Committee; had not attended, in consequence of Mr. O'CONNELL said he (lid not leave the House until half-past four o'clock that morning, ano the fact was, he had overslept himself, and did not get up until after the hour appointed for the Com mittee to meet. He was very sorry for it.— (Laughter.) Mr. WYNNE said under such circumstances h: should move that Mr. O'Connell be excused. The question was put and carried, and it was ordered that Mr. O'Connell should attend the Ap peal Committee to-morrow, at eleven o'clock. Ntr. CALVERT presented a petition from the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, against the Iris), and Scotch Pauper Removal Bill. He was very glad to hear from the Noble Lord who brought in this Bill, that it was his intention to postponc. , is until another Session. After a lengthened discussion, in which Mr. 11. Grattan, Mr. Sturges Bourne, Lord Stanley, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Dawson, Sir George Phillips, Mr. BEtcourt, and Mr. Palmer took part, the petition was ordered to lie upon the table. :Mr. JOHN WOOD presented petitions from certain inhabitants, being members of a Corpo rate Society, praying for freedom of trade and com merce; from Hyde Newton, against the abolition of the jurisdiction cf counties palatine, and of the existing jurisdictions as respected the administration of justice in the principality; and from Walmesley, in favour 'of the emancipation of the Jews.—Laid on the table. Colonel PEEL presented a petition from the chemists and druggists of Norwich, against the Stamp Act.—Laid on the table. Colonel PEEL presented a petition from the Common Council of Norwich, against the punish ment of death, except in cases of murder. Lord BELGRAVE presented a petition from Chester, against the East India Charter. LordKILLEEN presented a petition from the Charitable Society of Kilkenny, against the tax on newspapers. Colonel WILSON gave notice of a motion for leave to bring in a Bill on Monthly next, to remove all doubts respecting the power of British-born Jews to hold hurled property. SUTTEES. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved for a copy of the despatch of the Governor-General of Bengal, and other papers relative to the practice of suttees. Motion agreed to. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from some place in Lancashire, praying that the House would take more effectual measures to insure the temper ance of the people. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that so far from Government desiring to pro mote the consumption of spirits, they would much rather see the people refrain from them altogether. Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the Beer Bill would be brought forward that evening? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the present intention was to proceed with the Supply to a certain extent, and then, if not too late, to bring forward the Beer Bill. Mr. J. WOOD wished to know whether the Additional Churches' Bill was to be brought for ward that evening ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not know that there was any opposition which might not be brought on when the Bill was in Com mittee; but if there was any opposition, he should have no objection to postpone the second reading till Monday. After a few words from Mr. W. SMITII, the peti tion was ordered to be printed. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Man chester, against the Scotch Removal Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition against the New Stamp Regulations from some Catholic Charity Society in Ireland; also a petition from Ballibay and another parish, to the same effect; also from St. Katherine, to the Fame effect. BOROUGH OF CARLOW. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from certain persons in Callow, complaining of corrup tion in that borough.—Petition read, and referred to the Committee on Irish Tolls and Customs. Mr. O'CONNELL moved for an account or the number of proof-gallons of spirits imported from Guernsey and Jersey, with the duty paid there since 1826.—Ordered. 111 r. HUME moved for several returns relative to contracts concerning the reserved Crown lands in Canada.—Ordered. SUPPLY. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Order of the Day was read for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply. POUR AND A HALF PER CENT. DUTiES. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that being con vinced that the question he intended to submit to the House was a great constitutional question—be fore he brought it on, be wished to make a proposi tion to the Right Hon. Gentleman. " His proposition was this :—That his Majesty's Ministers should un dertake, without loss of time, to bring in a Bill to limit ,the prerogative of the Crown to import com modities, free of duty, to such commodities as were for the 'lse of the Crown, and not allowing it to im port commodities free of duty, for sale, particularly the sugar which was sent here in payment of the Four and a Half per Cent. Duties, from Barbadoes and the Leeward Islands. If Ministers would ac cept his proposition, and bring in such a measure, it would take away the necessity of making the mo tion of which he had given notice, though he should reserve to himself the right, if he were not satisfied with the measure, to bring forward a motion on the subject hereafter. Mr. Secretary -PEEL was glad of the opportunity of making that statement before going into the Com mittee, which his Right Hon. Friend would Dave had to make. It appeared, that according to the principle of the Constitution, nothing was more clear than that it was the prerogative of the Crown to bring into the country any commodities without t he payment of any ordinary duties; and it was quite clear that this prerogative extended to the sugar which the Crown received in payment of the Four and a Half per Cent. Duties. It was, he as serted, quite clear, according to the constitutional law of this country, and the ordinary law, that this sugar was not subject to pay Customs' duties. That was the fact in point of law. The proceeds of those duties (tile Four and a Half per Cents.), though evidently belonging to the Crown, were not appropriated to any personal objects, but to public objects ; they were applied to diminish the charges on some other public funds. At the same time, he was not prepared to contend that the Crown could import commodities for sale in the market, except on payment of duties, like other persons. Neither was he prepared to say that the prerogative, though e xisting constitutionally to this extent, might not lead to public inconvenience. It was therefore the intention of Ministers to place the prerogative under such a limitation, that the sugar for sale should not he brought into the market without paying the du ties, leaving those duties to be appropriated by the Crown, as if it had disposed of the sugar without paying them. Sir J. GRAHAM should not consult the feelings of the House if he did not accept the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He hoped, if he with- Mr. J. STEWART took the opportunity to call the attention of the Colonial Minister to the mono polies which existed in Ceylon ; but the prEcise pur port of the Hon. Member's remarks was not made out in the gallery. Mr. HUSKISSON expressed his unfeigned sa tisfaction at what he had heard from his Right Hon Friend the Secretary of State, and that it was hi; ;ntention to bring in a Bill to avoid trying the ques tion of extreme right. With his Right Hon. Friend 1;e held that the right was clear and unqualified ih ;he Crown to bring in all the articles rvquired for the consumption of the Crown free of duty. Such was unquestionably the prerogative of the Crown ; but it was one thing to state that prerogative as a question of a constitutional character, and another to stand on the exercise of an extreme right, when that might tend to public inconvenience. He hoped that the measure would limit the right to import commodities duty free to such as t% ere for the use of the Sovereign himself. Sir CH &RIES WETHE Rm. contended that the Sovereign had the right to import whatever he pleased for hiS own use duty free, He had several other rights of property of this kind, such as right to the droits of Admiralty, to wrecks, and others— Hid the Ministers, if they please, might give up these and all other rights, but he hoped they would not give up his opinion. The House could no more levy duties on the articles for the Sovereign's use, than it could make him pay a shilling or a sixpenny toll. Several Members of that House had rights similar to those of the Crown. If the Hon. Niem her for Cumberland had a manor with sea coast, and the Crown had given him the right to wrecks which might happen, he might, if a cargo of sugar Or rum came by that means into his possession, bring it into the country without paying any duty whatever, because he did not import it as a mer chant. When the Bill mentioned by the Right Hon. Gentleman should be brought in, he should have an opportunity of delivering his sentiments on it ; he would then content himself with affirming that the Crown had the right to import what it liked duty free, and that its rights had been fre gnently acknowledged by the Courts. After a few words from Mr. BRIGHT, The ATTORNEY• GENERAL declared the case of sugars to stand on a different ground from those other articles which the Crown might export free of duty. Mr. BARING had, from the very f►st, looked on this exercise of the prerogative of the Crown with great jealousy, and he rejoiced at the prospect of a full and complete settlement of all the questions to which it gave rise. Sir ROBERT PEEL had always endeavoured, a 3 much as possible,: to support the just prerogative of the Crown, but he could not conceal from him self that the exercise of a power of this kind should be dispensed with, and that it was necessary to put an immediate termination to all the speculations or suspicions which it might call forth. Mr. BROUGHAM' approved of the declaration of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir R. Peel), and declared that a proper limitation of the prerogatives of the Crown was the surest method to fix them on a permanent basis. HUME thought that the time was come, when all exercise of the .prerogative of this kind should be put an end to for ever. He did . not see, too, on what principle the Ambassidors of this country, who were so well paid for their services, should possess a privilege beyond the rest of his Majesty's subjects, and lie hoped that the practice with respect to them would also be abandoned. The Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) admitted that he had received 50,000/., being the amount of two years duty on these su gars. He (Mr. Hume) hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman, as he was going to bring in a Bill to abolish the practice, would also refund the .50,0001., which it appeared he had appropriated without the consent of Parliament.—(A laugh.) The House then went into a Committee of Ways and Means. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, a resolution, granting four mil lions out of the Consolidated Fund, to make good the Supplies of the year, was then read and agreed to, and the House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday next. SUPPLY. The House then resolved itelf into a Committee of Supply. Sir A. GRANT in the Chair. On . the first Resolution being put, for granting a sum of 19,0001. to defray the expenses of the Gold and Silver Coinage at the Mint, Mr. P. THOMSON wished the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite would explitin some of the cir cumstances connected with the seignorage on coin. Mr. WARBURTON observed, that all writers on the subject agreed that the seignorage on the coin, beyond that which was necessary to limit its quantity, was equivalent to depreciation. In France nearly 100,0001. a year was obtained, by exacting a seignorage on the coin; but this was, in fact, a tax to that amount on the French public. After a few words from Mr. P. THOMSON and Mr. D. GILBERT, Mr. HUME wished to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite what was the amount of the profits derived from the coinage of silver, and how those profits were employed ? He was at a loss to under stand why it was necessary to maintain 4in esta blishment at the Mint, at an expence of 19,0001. a year, when the country was already full of gold coin. Mr. HERRIES stated that there had been no silver coinage at the Mint since the year before last, when a hundred thousand pounds' worth of silver had been coined for the use of the colonies. All the former profit which had been derived from the coinage of silver was applied to the purpose of de fraying the expence attendant on the gold coinage. Since the time of Charles the Second there had been no alteration in the usage of not charging any seignorage oh the gold coin. Mr. BARING maintained that the present plan was not only a coinage without seignorage, but was also a premium to the party who brought"his gold bullion to the Mint, for the purpose of being coined. He did not know why there was any deviation from the former usage of the Bank's .taking seignorage. Mr. HERRIES observed, that the delay which formerly took place in returning the gold coin from the Mint for the bullion carried thither, rendered the Bank the sole importer of bullion; as indivi duals could not afford to lose the interest for five or six weeks, and which was, in fact, a large seignorage. When Government looked to what possibly might be the effect of a change of paper into gold circula tion, they bad felt that it was their duty to devise the means of putting the importer of bullion, who brought it to the Mint, speedily in possession of his coin. The manner by which they had done that was to apply the funds which had been derived from the coinage of silver to the expence of coining the gold. From this arrangement the public had experienced great benefit. Mr. BARING said, that the advantage which the importer enjoyed of a half per cent. was in fact so much paid by the public. Why should that pre mium be given ? He denied that there was any pub lie advantage in thus not rely coining for nri,h;,, g , but giving that benefit. There WIL3 some reason for believing that our silver coinage stood , at present in an awkward predicament. The propertien be; ween the price of the silver when coined, and the price of silver bullion, in the market, was very different from what it was when originally established. At that period it was as sixty-two to sixty-six; and then the difference did not hold out a sufficient temp ' ration for the coiner. But now it was as fifty-nine to sixtrsix. The consequence was, that a great alarm had been excited by the introduction of a quantity of false silver coin. The whole system of our coinage ought indeed to undergo a revision in another Session of Parliament. He wished to ask for some explanation wlh respect to the great mass of silver coin which be supposed must be in die Bank and in the Mint. Mr. HERRIES said that there had been no coinage of silver in late years. All that had taken place %vas in the first two years after the establish ment of the present system of coinage. He be lieved that there was an accumulation of silver in die Bank, hut there was none in the Mint. There was one subject alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman, on which he was anxious to make a few observa tions. Rumours had been circulated that a spurious silver coinage, not a false one but one of silver, had been fabricated in ether countries, of a weight and quality equal to our own, and had been introduced in large quantities in this country. He had not the least reason to believe that there was any truth in these rumours. Mr. lICJSKISSON wat convinced that the faci lity afforded at the Mint to all persons to have the full value of their gold bullion returned to them in the coii, of the realm, was very advantageous. After a few words from Sir G. COCKBURN, Mr. Ilusictssos, Alderman THOMPSON, Mr. MABERLY, Mr. HUMS, Mr. BARING, and Mr. ROBINSON, the vote was carried. The question was then put, that a sum not ex ceeding 7,000/, be granted to his Majesty, to defray the expenses arising out of prosecutions relating to the coin of this kingdom, for 1830.—Agreed to. On the question, that a sum not exceeding 15,0004 be granted to his Majesty, to defray the expenses of law charges for 1830, being put, Mr. GORDON wished to know whether these expenses were incurred by the Treasury for the pro secution, or rather persecutions, of the press during the het year. In 1829 the sums voted for fees of counsel was only 2,2891., while the estimate for the present year was 3,1391. He also observed on the practice of employing a great number of counsel. In Alexander's prosecution, six counsel, he believed, were employed for the Crown, while a private indi vidual would perhaps only employ two or three. He hoped the lion. Gentleman opposite would give a detailed estimate of the manner in which the sum voted last year was expended, previous to bringing up the report. Mr. DAWSON said, that the sum for fees of counsel was lower this year than last. With respect to the number of counsel employed, probably his Learned Friend (Sir J. Scarlett) would give the House some good reason on this point. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought he was bound, on the occasion of the prosecution adverted to, to give his Majesty the benefit of the counsel whom he considered most efficient. He was per fectly ready to show that the charges in this instance were usual and reasonable, and he was ready to meet any motion which the Hon. Member might bring forward on the subject. It was a matter of great, and he might add, indispensable convenience to the Attorney-General to have the assistance of King's Counsel in cases of this description. The Solicitor-General and he were often called out of Court on such public occasions when it was impor tant that they should be present, and it was neces sary in such instances to have counsel ready to take upon them the management of the case. As to the number of counsel, it was not greater than was usually employed is such cases. That was his answer to the Hon. Gentleman, and it was all the answer he was prepared to give him on the subject. As to the fees paid in these cases, they were not equal to the fees which were often paid in private prosecutions. He thought he had now answered all the questions and the statements of the. Hon. Gentleman. He might be allowed, however, to tell the Hon. Member, that if he was anxious to make personal attacks upon him (the Attorney-General), he should do so in the regular way, by bringing.a spe cific motion before the House. Let him do so, and he (the Attorney-General) would be then ready to meet him. Let him do that, awl not assail him by those side-wind attacks, and by calling prosecu tions, which he (the Attorney-General) in the dis charge of his duty felt himself bound to institute, " persecutions."—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.")—He (the Attorney-General) was most willing, most anxious that the whole line of his conduct should be submitted to the decision of a vote of that House, and he would be ready to stand or fall with the vote of the majority. —(Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches.) — lie should be very sorry if many gentlemen in that House participated in the sentiments expressed by the Hon. Member for Cricklinle, and in any event he should derive some consolation from the reflection that his conduct did not meet with the approbation of that Hon. Member.—(Cries of " Oh I") Some thing had dropped from the Hon. Gentleman which seemed to insinuate that he (the Attorney-General) received a great portion of the fees paid for those prosecutions. Now he was ready to meet the iron. Member, if he would make a specific motion on the subject, whenever or wherever be pleased. Of the fees paid to counsel in all the various depart ments, and of which he could assure him that the Attorney-General received a very small portion, the Hon. Member would have an opportunity, by a re turn which would be laid before the House in a few days, of seeing their amount; he would then see that the office of Attorney-General was one not overpaid, and that the labour of the office was con siderable, while the remuneration was comparatively small. And as lie was now on his legs, he would take this opportunity to remove a mistake which had gone abroad on the occasion of a .Bill lately passing through that House—he alluded to the no tion which appeared to hare beets taken' up by the E ublic, that the Attorney-General would derive con siderable emolument from a demise of the Crown.-- He had taken some pains to ascertain the fees which would in that case be received. by him and by the Solicitor-General upon every patent which would then possibly be renewed. It was only- fair to as sume, that not more than two-thirds of them, that is to say about 200, would be renewed; in that case he hoped the Hon. Member would just attend to the kind of work which the Attorney-General had to do in each of those instances where patents were renewed. The Attorney-General had to prepare the Bill, copies of the Bill when prepared were sent round to the different offices, and. after the Bill was approved of and signed by his Majesty, it was carried round to the various offices, and for all that the Attorney and Solicitor-General, who prepared and arranged the Bill, received only a fee of 5/. ; and the whole of the patent clerks' fees amounted only to 31. 15s. He believed that the whole amount charged was far less than mould be charged by a solicitor for doing an equal quantity of business for a private individual. He hoped the House would forgive him for making this explana tion on this occasion. The Bill from which had originated the anisapprehenaioa which- he was de sirous to remove, was generally discussed at three or four o'clock in the morning, so that be had no opportunity then of disabusing the public mind of the erroneous impression that the Attorney-General would derive great emoluments from a demise of the Crewn.—.(Hear.)—lt should be recollected that the sum charged in this estimate was for Treasury business, which branched into, :a variety of departments, and he thought that the estimate was, under such circumstances, a small one indeed. Mr. R. GORDON would, in the first instance, say a word as to what had been said by the Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for the Treasury, as to the amount of those fees to counsel charged in this es
