IMPRESSED with a just Znd humane sense.. of 111.. the calainitiins results arising Irvin the injudicious treat ment of a certain malady, contracted in a manner too well known to require comment, and often entailing on its un happy victim a series of distressing and almost insupportable atllietiiins, Dr. EAI)Y respectfully calls the attention of those interested, to his peculiar and most effectual method of cure, unlike the advertising empiric of the day, or the equally cri minal conduct of those " who hold the word ofprianise to time ear and .break it be our hope." Dr. Flatly will not presume to pledge infallibility in every description of case, but as far as human aid, assisted by medical and surgical skill can be ap plied, he promises a certain, speedy, and permanent restora tion ; having made every species of Syphilitic affection, and its carious train of diseases, fire primary objects of his profes sional studies, and being flattered by the transceudant success whirls has accomranied his mode of treatment during the course of a long and laborious practice, he is enabled to offer, wit h the fullest confidence, pretensions at once the most hope ful and encouraging. Innumerable instances can be adduced Plain rative of the superiority of Dr. Lady's system, which has been found to prevail, even where eminent talent, retained by public institutions, has been ineffectual. In addition to those consolatory advances, Dr. Eady will be found equally fortunate in reviving the slumbering and debilitated energie. of the human constitution, which embitter, and if not timely arrested, fa equently render nugatory the very principal of existence. From this desolating state of inanity and sterility, by re -animating the frame and affording tone and elasticity to the relaxed organs, Dr. Lady is happy to convey the most cheering and positive assurances that the sufferers of both sexes may he rescued; a steady perseverance in the means dictated being only required.—Dr. Eady is consulted daily, at his house, 38, Dean-street, Soho, by patients of both sexes.— Country letters meetrespectful attention. 38, Dean Street,Stiho, is' a private House, opposite Meard's Street ; one end of Dean Street leads into Gerrard Street, nearly opposite the General Two-penny Post Office, and the other into.

The Irish Bankrupt LaWs tneildment -Bill, the'Conway Bridge Bill, and the Irish Stealing in Shops,Bill, went respectively through Com mittees, and were reported. IRISH STATIONERY. The Earl of DARNLEY gave notice that on Monday, the 4th of June, he should call the at tention of the House to the manner in which Sta tionery had been suppled to the Public. Offices in Ireland. Should by that time no other Noble Peer have brought the important topic of the public expenditure before their Lordships,_ he also gave notice that he-should on the sam e day submit a proposition on the subject. The Noble Earl then moved that their Lordships be sum moned for the 4th of June.—Ordered. TIMBER DUTIES. The Earl of LAUDERDALE seeing in his place the Noble Earl who intended to move the second reading of the Timber Duties Bill, wished to suggest to him whether it would not be more con venient to take the debate on the Committee, rather than the present stage of the Bill Earl BATHURST had no objection to such an arrangement, and should propose to commit the Bill on Tuesday next. The Bill was then read a second time, and or dered to be committed next Tuesday. • The Irish Gaol Fees Abolition Bill' went through a Committee. Several Amendments were made in its provisions, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday—Adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. DENISON presented a Petition from certain persons styling themselves Governors and Guardians - of the Poor in.the parish of St. Mary, Newington, praying that the Newington Select Vestry Bill might not be allowed to , pass into a law.— Laid on the table. Mr. MAXWELL presented a Petitionfroni the Commis sioners of Supply, in the county of Renfrev#4 , N. B. against the Jury Courts Bill.—Laid on the table. Lord A.

HAMILTON presented a Petition from the town of Inverness, praying for a remedy to certain abuses existing in the Police regulations of that town. After a few words from Mr. MAcxExzzE, Mr. J. P. GRANT, and the LORD ADVOCATE, the petition was ordered to be printed. SCOTCH JURIES. Mr. MACKENZIE presented a Petition from the Gentry, Clergy,' Freeholders, and Justices of the Peace of Ross-shire, assembled in County Meeting, against the Scotch Jury Sir R. FERGUSON said he was convinced that the free holders of Scotland had received a hint from head-quarters which induced them to come 'forward op the present occasion against the measure, withouthaving canvassed the matter at all. Mr. - MACKENZIE defended the parties to the Petition, from the imputation of the Hon. Member. Lord A. HAMILTON supported the sentiments of his Gal lant Friend (Sir R. Ferguson) and stated as a proof that the. Learned Lord opposite (the Lord Advocate), had sent a circu lar letter to all'the Scotch Counties in disapprobation of the Bill in question. The Noble Lord then read the letter to which he alluded, which stated the in c onveniencies likely to be attendant on the Bill, but declined any wish to exercise undue influence over the minds of the Scotch Gentlemen. The LORD ADVOCATE maintained that he had done no thing but gave a fair statement on the subject of the Bill, in the letter he had thought it his duty to send, with a copy of the Bill itself, to the Sheriffs of the Counties. He had never made any secret of his objection to this Bill,. having declared it from the beginning, and having stipulated with the Hon. Member who brought it in, that he should not bring on the second read ing till after the 13th of April, when the County Gentlemen of Scotland would have had an opportunity of expressing their sentiments. It was his opinion that this Bill would affect the interests of the Scotch people, and he was bound to call their attention to the subject. Lord A. HAM UTON explained. Mr. ABERCROMBY said it waaa joke to say, after hear ing thatletter read, that the Learned Lord had not exerted all the influence hig office gave him to defeat the Scotch Jury Bill. These Petitions were the Petitions of the Lord Advocate ; for no despotic Prince could issue a more absolute fiat, than the Lord Advocate's sentiment issued in this shape. The Honour able Member stated his intention in the absence-of his Honour able Friend to postpone the consideration of the .13il1 till next Sessions. Mr. W. DUNDAS defended the conduct of his Noble Friend (the Lord Advocate) and declared- his conviction, that when the nature of the law came to be known, all the independent Gen tlemen of Scotland would be opposed to it. Mr. J. P. GRANT could not agree with - the Right Honour able Gentleman who had just s3l;en in thinking that there would be any great opposition to the Bill. , The more it became known the better it would be thought of.—The Petition was then read and ordered to lie on the table. NEWINGTON VESTRY BILL. Mr. HOLME SUMNER moved the Order of the Day for the adjourned debate on the Newington Vestry Bill. Mr. BANKES rose _and moved, as an amendment to the motion of the Hon. Member (Mr. Sumner) for discharging the Committee from proceeding further, that the Committee should be revived. Mr. H. SUMNER observed, that he had on a former even ing suggested the course which he had thought it most Proper for the House to purSue • with respect to the present subject. He believed there was no precedent for the revival of a Com mittee a third time. If Hon. Members on the other side would consent to go freely into the investigation, he would cheerfully •agree to the amendment proposed by his Hon. Friend, and he hoped his Hon. Colleague would say so in his place. Mr. DENISON said 'lie had no objection to go back to the Committee, and felt obliged to the lion. Member(lllr.Banke s )• for his conciliatory proposition. The wish of Gentlemen on his side was, he could assure the House, to have the question fairly discussed, and he, considered that where the mistal..e was made , -,t ---- ....: -7., ~ - - ,--,,.. - 4, . , , 0 before was in not having discussed the preamble first. Ile hoped that by Monday (as was understood) some compromise would be agreed to by the parties. After a few words from Mr. H. SUMNER, which did not reach the gallery, the amendment was' ut and agreed to, and the Committee was ordered to sit on Monday, and to report on or before that day fortnight. It was then ordered that the seve ral-petitions against the Bill be referred to the Committee. METROPOLIS ROADS BILL. - - - - - Mr. CALCRAFT presented a Petition from the inhabitants of Somers . Town against the Metropolis Roads Bill. Mr. BARRETT presented a similar Petition from the inha bitants of Pentonville. Mr. WING presented several Petitions against the Bill from the inhabitants of the following places :—Eageware-road, Stoke Newington-Edmonton, Tottenham, Highgate, Stepney, Isle worth, and Whitechapel. Also Petitions from the stage and hackney-coach masters of the metropolis—from certain coal merchants, flour-factors, and market-gardeners of the metropo lis, and from the postmasters on,the Hertford-road. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a similar petition from the inhabitants of Kentish-town. Mr. WESTERN presented a petition to the same effect from Southfield and Brentwood. These petitions were Seve rally read and ordered to lie on the table. The Essex County Gaol Bill was rea' a third time and p aks ed. - - Mr. AcTLEIT presented a petition from the inhabitants of Melksham 4 in the County of Wilts, praying for a revision of 'the Criminal Code.—Ordered to lie on.the table. Captain WEIVIYSS presented a petition from- the Free holders and. Commissioners of Supply of the County of Fife, against the Scotch Juries Bill. Sir R. FERGUSSON said a few words in favour of the Bill, and expressed his suprize how the Freeholders of that County could be such gudgeons as to be induced to petition against it. The LORD ADVOCATE again expressed himself as yp posed to the Birl. There was, he contended, no necessity for such a measure. The Learned Lord then entered into a short detail of his objections to it ; in which he contended that it would be an unjust and unnecessary innovation .in the Scotch Law. Mr. DENM.IN said that the argument of the Learned Lord went to show that the English Jury . Law ought to be al tered ; for, according to him, its, principles were bad. The Learned Gentleman then maintained that the present mode of appointing Juries in Scotland was a bad one. It was throwing an invidious and unpleasant duty on the Judge to oblige him to select 15 persons who, were to determine upon the life and li berty of their fellow-subjects. He hoped that the Bill would be withdrawn this Scfsion, but not altogether, for he was anxious that it should be brought in at an early period in the next Session. Lord BINNING defended the present Jury system in Scot land, which he contended was a most fair one for the prisoner, and he trusted the House would not sanction such an innova tion in Scottish law as this Bill would lead to. Mr. ABERCROMBY said that nothing which he had heard from the Learned Lord (the Lord Advocate) seemed to him at all conclusive against the Bill. It was in his .mind a most im portant measure, and he hoped it would eventually receive the sanction of the House. The Petition was then brought up, and read, and ordered to be printed. The LORD ADVOCATE presented Petitions against the Scotch Juries Bill, from' the Counties of Stirling, Argyle, Rox burgh, Berwick, and Kincardine. 7: Thex were laid on the table. CORN AVERAGES. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON presented a Petition from Yong hall, complaining of the present mode of taking the averages. Mr. CALCRAFT gave notice, that when the Bill should come into discussion, he would move that the word " Irish" should be struck out. Mr. D. BROWNE warned Gentlemen how they would fol low such a system, for fear of destroying the name of union. Mr. CALCRAFT and Mr. D. BROWNE mutually explained. Mr. H. BANKES said he believed that it was the intention of his Right Hon. Friend to omit the word " Irish," though he would not pledge his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said he would oppose the omission. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. TRANSACTIONS AT MANCHESTER ON THE 16TH AUGUST. Sir F. BURDETT said he held in his hand a Petition from Richard Stoddard, of Lane-end, Staffordshire, which appeared to him to m.ll for the particular attention of the House. It was brought up, and read. The Petitioner stated that he had been in the habit of going to Manchester on business, and of lodging at a public-house kept by Mrs. Biioth, near New cross; that on the 16th of August, 1819, he had done little business on account of the crowd, and retired early to the house in which he lodged ; that at 5 o'clock a party of police officers seized upon him ; and, notwithstanding his remonstrances, and assurances of not being a promiscuous customer, but a lodger, thrust him out ; that a yeoman of the cavalry then at tacked him and endangered his life ; that the wounds inflicted disabled bins from carping on his business, and entirely • de stroyed his prospects in life; that he was now dependent on parochial aid. He prayed to be allowed to prove those facts at the Bar of the House, his poverty net allowing him to seek redress by an action at law, and trusted that the House would not suffer such atrocities to be justified or palliated by the actors or their coadjutors. Sir F. 'BURDETT said, it was a little hard that persons in authority should take on themselves to deny facts, and throw out imputations without a particle of evidence. The statement of Mr. Pearson of the number of persons wounded on the 16th, and taken to the hospital (and there were more than Mr. Pearson had thought proper to state), he believed, upon authority which could not be doubted, to be perfectly correct, and the statement of the.Salieitor-General to be entirely and completely erroneous. It was very hard, he repeated, that the Members of that House should be misled. by such assertions oh subjects of this kind, and that all inqUiry should be refused.—(Hear, hear !) Mr. DENMAN took that opportunity to explain. His Learned Friend the Solidtor-General had said, that Mr. Pear son had been blamed by the Court of King's Bench for with holding an a ffi davit. If there was any blame, it was his (Mr. Denman's), for he had withheld it, conceiving it to be irrele vant. Mr. Bo= had made affidavit that if the Court of King's Bench would issue a mandamus, he would issue warrants to ap prehend those charged with felonies on the 16th of August. The Court said, they would not have granted a rule to show cause if they had been aware of that. But he (Mr. Denman) could not yet see how such an affidavit could affect the crimi nality of a magistrate refusing a warrant to a poor person who had not means to obtain a mandamus. Another error he was anxious to correct was, that he had said the meeting had been legal. He had never said so. He knew not whether it was so or not. • The question might be full of distinctions. It was, he thought, perfectly legal for a vast majority, and illegal for others. Thus the Learned Judge had stated at York, and the Jury had found.—The petition was ordered to be printed. MEMBERS HOLDING OFFICES. Mr. H. G. GILBERT moved fora return of Members hold ing offices under the Crown.—Ordered. METROPOLIS ROADS BILL. Mr. D. GILBERT presented a Petition in its favour from the owners of land, &c. in St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL ased when the subject was to be brought forward. Mr. D. GILBERT would prefer the present moment, if the Mouse would allow-him (" move, move') ; but the Ordnance Estimates requiring the attention of the House, he would not press it now. Mr. CALCRAFT said it would not take much time, because he hoped .it•would be soon thrown out. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'said, he would more for a Comthittee of Ways and Means,in ordei to be enabled to issue money which was now lying in the Exchequer. After several observations by Mr. H. Gurney, Mr. Calcraft, Mr. D. Gilbert, Mr. Bennet, and a Member whose name we could not learn, the petition was laid on the table, and the order on the subject was postponed. WAYS AND MEANS. The CHANC-ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day fur the House to resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. BARING- rose and put some question, to the Chancellor of the Exchequer of which, and of the answer of the Right Hon. Gentleman, we were unable to hear a word, in consequenee.ol the noise which 'prevailed in the body of the House. Mr. HuMI wished to know from the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, what day he intended to PRICE SEVENPENCrs fix for the Spoiled. Stamp Duty Bill, as he in tended to propose a clause to reduce the per centage of the country distributors from 4 to 2, per cent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not positively name a day. Sir J. NtwponT compla'ned that Bills which should -have been prepared at the commencement of the Session, were not yet ready, in conse quence of which a great mass of business was yet\to be disposed of. The Spoiled Stamp Bill, most improperly - named so, was a Bill, Which, under colour of affording a remedy _*parti cular case, was, in fact, a measure i::) .- )w and. , heavy t'axa. ion - Lord TON said, that in th e C omm itt ee there we dded to the Bill, which originally con sisted of about five or six clauses, no less than thirty clauses and a schedule of new duties. It was, in fact, a Bill for additional and heavy taxation, and deserved the particular attention of Country Gentlemen. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he did not mean to carry the Bill by surprise ; be would be able to defend the clauses at the pro per time. Mr. DEN MAN suggested, that a separate Bill should be introduced for the relief of persons having spoiled stamps in their possession ; and that separate Bill might be introduced for the other objects which the Right lion. Gentleman had in view. The CHANCELLOR of *the EXCHEQUER. dissented from this proposition. Mr. J. P. GRANT said, it was plain that the Right lion. Gentleman was unwilling to grant a remedy without, in return, acquiring the means of additional taxation. On the House resolving itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed the first Resolution—To apply the Unclaimed Dividends to the purposes of the public. Mr. GRENFELL complained of large balances which were.left in the'hands of the Bank, and which ought to have been appropriated to the public service. Had this .been 'done, the country, for the last year, would have ,gained, in the way of interest, the sum of 111,000/. Mr. C. SMITH thought that, considering the relations of the Bank and the' Government, the balances ought, in point of fairness, to be left in the hands of the Bank. Mr. J. MARTIN wished to know when a List of the Unclaimed Dividends would be published ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQuER said, he could not answer precisely. He did not know whether the last Unclaimed Dividends were pub lished at the instance of the Government or of the Bank. Mr. BARING contended, that at the time of the renewal of the charter, it mas expressly stipu lated between the Bank of England and Mr. Pitt, that that corporation should be the Bankers of the Government ; for that advantage the Bank gave a handsome equivalent. Was it just, then, to deprive the Bank of retaining the balances in their possession, which, by the spirit of their agreement, they had a right to refain ? He could not. help observing, that upon every possible occasion. his Honourable Friend made exagge rated statements and misrepresentations against the Bank, but he still hoped that the House would be ready to do justice to that useful cor poration. Mr. GRENFELL said, that his wish and object was that these balances should, as far as was con sistent with justice, be made available to the public. lie was as well acquainted with the un derstanding between Mr. Pitt and the Bank, on the renewal of the charter in 1800, as his lion. Friend could possibly be ; but was it to be con tended that there was to be no restraint or limi tation of the sums which, to the injury of the public, were to be left in the hands of the B an k ? There were at present f our in the Bank, why not appropriate three millions of that sum to the public service ? Mr. BARING said he did not think that a less sum than four millions in the Bank could answer the daily purposes of Government. Mr. HUME said, he was surprised at the obser vations of the Hon.. MeMber for Taunton., . Lis tening to that Hon. Member, one would.. be -in clined-to suppose that the Bank was a poor Cor poration, entitled to public pity and support.— But what was the fact ? The Proprietors of the Bank of England, exclusive of the dividend of 7 per cent., which they then received, shared amongst them, since the year 179.6 ) -a sum of twenty-six millions of the public money. Ile would have expected from the Hon. Member for Taunton very different expressions, at a moment when the country was suffering under great dis tress,, and when, of course, every possible eco nomy ought to be adopted. CALCRAFT said, that it should be recol lected that a very large allowance was made to the Bank for conducting the public business -- The Bank, On that account, received no less than two hundred and seventy thousand a year. As the' Bank was paid very liberally for transacting public buSiness, not a shilling more of balance should be suffered to remain in their hands be yond what the exivencies of the public service demanded.—The Resolution was agreeol to. A vote was then proposed, to provide for .the Exchequer Bills which had been issued on public works out of the receipts of the Exchequer. Sir J. NEWPORT said that the principles OR which the Commissioners who were entrusted with the issue of the Exchequer Bills voted for the relief of commercial distress in Ireland were such that the vote was rendered nugatory ; and when a motion had been made for the prodnetiom t -,yyk • cn , c)-) if; •r,
