Query? Is there another Brandy Establishment in the mogdom whose entire trade, for the last three months, has e lloalled. in number of gallons, the increased sa l es a l one o f th e r atent Brandy ? The Patentees challenge publicity. , The only establishment of J. T.

SYNOPSIS of the CAUSE and CURE of DISEASE, according to the HYGEIAN, or MORI 'ONIAN SYSTEM. A knowledge of the best means for preserving and restoring health is the most important of human pursuits. This know ledge is only to be acquired by following Nature. I.—All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids. 2.—.1t is by and from the fluids the solids are formed. 3.—The fluids contained in the human body are four times the weight of the solids. 4.—The chief of the fluids is the blood, froth which all the others are derived and are derivable. s.—The blood is the life—the l ; tim um mobile—the first agent -from which all others derive their origin. 6.—Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 7.—The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for its acquired impurities. B.—Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the bowels by an accumulation of morbid secretions on the inner liurface of the intestines, &c. 9. —This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation, or impairs digestion. lo.—The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every species of disease, according to *he particular locality in which they become lodged. diseases proceed from one source, therefore they fla y all be cured by one medicine. 12. —This medicine must be a purgative, innoxious in itself, Yet sufficiently powerful to carry off the above-mentioned Vitiated secretions, and by improving digestion, improve the blood. 13.—This discovery has been made by Mr. James Morison, the Hygeist, in the composition of the Vegetable Universal alednes.

Its proximity to the Blackwall Railway, from which it is but a few yards distant, the numerous sugar refineries and manufactories of all sorts by which it is surrounded, several of which have lately been re-opened, and one about to be so im mediately opposite thereto, all tend to improve and increase the value ; and although it has been neglected, through the pro prietor residing at a distance, it still might be made a source of great profit to any one giving it atte.tion, as the tenants residing thereon are in the very centre of their avocations, and most of them of many years' standing.

The accounts that have reached Dundee are not so satisfactory as could be wished ; but there is reason to fear that the loss sustained has been very great—no fewer than sixteen vessels are said to have shared in the calamity. The following are the most material circum stances that we have been able to collect ; and we are obliged to a gentleman who kindly favoured us with the extract from a letter received here yesterday from Riga, dated the 6th instant, which is the latest advices that have come to hand : " EXTRACT OE A LETTER FROM CAPT. ARTHUR BROWN OF THE REGINA, OF PERTH. " Windau, May . 1, 1839. " am very sorry to inform you of the loss of the Regina, in Riga Bay, amongst the ice. I passed Do mesness on the 23d ult., and proceeded up the bay through a narrow cut in the ice, about a quarter of a mile broad, with a fleet of about 70 sail. We had not proceeded more than 25 miles when the ice closed in upon us, and we were forced to drop our anchor on the night of the 24th. On the morning of the 25th, about eight o'clock, the people of the Orlando, of Aberdeen, were heaving their clothes on the ice, and I can safely say, in less than three minutes she went down, and left not a vestige of anything behind her. We were lying about 200 yards below her when the flaw took us and squeezed the sides of the vessel like a bundle of matches, the ice rolling up the taffrail. I went down to the cabin and found that the bulk-heads were squeezed to pieces. Before I got well on deck again, she was filled. I stepped on the ice off the rail, and down she went. The ice closed over the Queen (Regina), and she was seen no more after 15 minutes. The Duke of Richmond, of Aberdeen, shared the same fate. The Pacific, of Montrose, went down on the top of her, and 2 Dutchmen alongside. The Deptford, of Sunderland, also went down at the same place : and the destruction ofthe vessels was completed in less than an hour's time. The Agenoira, of Dundee, is completely ruined —her timbers are broken, and she is making a great deal of water. The Argo ofVictoria ,Dundee is nearly as bad. The was lying close by, and the men had their c l ot h es on the two vessels farther a -h ead, thought ' ice. There we "e to be the Rapicl and Henry Holland of Montrose. The Hero of D u odee was lying at a great list (lying The The JUehvae,s, flying, her Union eRr,., Orband, over on her side), with her colours down as a signal of there.distress. Eagle were lying up P. Ra T ng . and a few more, further down. I advised the Ceres, Bruce, to run out a gain, which he did ; but I do not think he would get round the reef. If the ice take anothe set, the most of the vessels will suffer. 44 Ri g a, April 24-6th May, 1838. " The ice in our river began to move a few days ago, and th e nav i g ation at Tow n is n ow quite open ; but, owing to the unusually strong current, no ships have as yet been able to get up. The ice has done much mischief in the 13ay--five British and two foreign ves sels are known to have foundered, and nine other ves sels are supposed to have shared the same fate. None of th e barks have arrived, and as the ice only broke upon the 16th O.S, a t Witepsk, will arrive later than usual ; in consequence of which, we have no expecta tion of the Hemp Bruaek opening before the 15th of next month."—Dundee Courier. The 10th Regiment o fi n f titr 700 strong (recently from Dublin),arrived this in town y ester d ay, b y ay railway, from Liverpool. The military force here at pre sent, therefore, consists of one regiment of Dragoons, three regiments of Infantry, and a company of Artillery_ a force amply sufficient to preserve th e peace of the town and neighbourhood, if it should be threatened by the Chartists —Manchester Guardian. • At a few minutes past three o'clock, the Lord Chancel lor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Duncannon, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Falkland, took their seats in their robes as Commissioners to give her Majesty's as sent to the Speaker chosen by the House of Commons. There were several ladies within the bar, among whom were, we understood, the Lady of the Right Hon. Gen. tleman who had just been chosen Speaker of the House of Commons. On the Opposition Benches were Lords Rosebery and Cholmondeley, and on the Ministerial side of the House Lord Farnham, Lord Portman, and two or three other Peers. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, attended by the mover, seconder, and a large body of Members, having appeared at the bar, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, my Lords and Gentlemen of the House of Commons, her Majesty, not thinking fit to be personally present at this time, has been graciously pleased to issue a Commission under the Great Seal, constituting me and other Lords therein named Com missioners, in her Majesty's name, to declare her Majesty's approbation of the choice of her faithful Commons of Mr. Charles Shaw Lefevre, as Speaker of that House, which Commission you will now hear read. The Clerk having read the Royal Commission at the table, Mr. LEFEVRE said—My Lords, I have to acquaint your Lordships that in obedience to her Majesty's com mands, and in exercise of their undoubted right, her Ma jesty's most faithful Commons have proceeded to the election of a Speaker, and that their choice had fallen upon me. Deeply impressed with a sense of my own unworthiness, I now present myself at your bar and submit myself to her Majesty's Royal approbation. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Shaw Lefevre, we haveit in command from her Majesty to declare her Majesty's entire confidence in your talents, diligence, and efficiency to fulfil the important duties of the high office of Speaker of the House of Commons, to which you have been chosen by that House. In obedience to the communication which has just been read, by virtue of the authority therein con tained, we do now declare her Majesty's Royal approba tion and allowance of you, Sir, as Speaker of the House of Commons. The SPEAKER—My Lords, I submit myself with all humility to her Majesty's Royal will and pleasure, and if, in the discharge of my duty, and in the maintenance of the rights of the Commons House of Parliament, I am led into any involuntary error, I humbly entreat that it may be im puted to me alone, and not to her Majesty's faithful Com mons. The Speaker and the other Members having retired, their Lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. Lord SE GRA VE presented petitions from Bristol, in favour of Rowland Hill's plan of Postage. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Torrington in West Sussex, against the present pro posed plan of National Education ; also petitions from a great number of schools, establishments, and places, in favour of the adoption of penny postage. The Earl of RIPON presented a petition from Yar mouth, praying for the Established Church in Canada. Lord MANSFIELD presented petitions from Suffolk, Clackmannan, and other places, in favour of a uniform rate of penny postage. Lord - BROUGHAM presented petitions from 50 dif ferent commercial establishments in London to the same effect; also petitions from a great many places in the country to the same effect. The Noble and Learned Lord wished to correct a statement that had gone abroad by mistake, in reference to the appointment of the day for the second reading of the Beer Bill. He begged to state that it was postponed till Monday next, and that beyond that day, as it had been so frequently put off already, he would on no account delay it. The Noble and Learned Lord wished to know whether it would not be convenient to the House that he should postpone his motion relative to the correspondence that bad taken place with respect to the affair of Col. Prince until Monday next. Lord ELL E NBOR OUG H said the charge aga;nst Col. Prince was of so gross a nature, that he did not think it ought to be delayed. He observed that Colonel Prince had made a statement in his own defence already, and he should take the liberty of reading parts of that statement. He should have done so to-night if he could have expected that so many Noble Lords would have been in their places. Lord BROUGHAM had no objection to its keeping its place for Thursday. The Marquis of NORMANBY should be ready on Thursday to enter into everything that he was aware of relating to Colonel Prince's conduct. Lord EL L ENBOROUG H knew nothing of Colonel Prince himself, he had only read his defence. The Duke of WELLINGTON was of opinion that it would be absolutely impossible to consider this question in reference to this gentleman, without considering the whole question out of which the war had sprung. He knew nothing of it except from what he heard in the House last night, but he thought he should be able to show that this was owing to the system of warfare which had been carried on, and that that system was to be traced to some other (mortar. Lord BRITtRarA/V1 had' no doubt that the Noble Duke might be able to show that : but whoever might be responsible for this wild outbreak his observations should be strictly confined to the conduct of Col. Prince. Lord ELLENBO ROUGH said it ought to be remem bered that when his Noble and Learned Friend was bring ing this charge of murder against Col. Prince, he at the same time brought a strong charge against the officers who had sat on the Committee of Inquiry. Lord BROUGHAM said, that the sentence of the Court of Inquiry had been printed in the Gazette, by Sir George Arthur, which be had seen, and the sentence did nct acquit Col. Prince of having killed four or five men (the Noble and Learned Lord believed the question was between four and five), after the battle was over; but it stated the charges brought against Mr. Elliott, and confirmed by Mr. Charles Elliott were very much exaggerated, therefore, those persons were reprimanded, and one of them had been dis- missed. But Sir e. Arthur stated (and upon his the Noble and Learned Lord's statement was founded) that he severely re proved Col. Prince for having putto death the four or five men who had surrendered, without any trial or legal proceeding whatever. That was the charge brought by Sir George Arthur against Colonel Prince; and he added that his conduct could only be palliated by a reference to the excited state of his feelings at the moment. Lord EL LE NBOR OUG H said that Colonel Prince's statement was that the five men (for there were five) were put to death after the action was over, but while they were yet in momentary expectation of an attaok. Lord BROUGHAM said that Colonel Arthur's state ment was, that they were put to death without any legal proceeding. The Marquis of NORMANBY believed the explanation of Colonel Prince was, that they were put to death imme diately after, or at the conclusion of the action ; and that they were shot upon the spot. Lord BROUGHAM said it was very true that it appeared they were shot upon the spot, and that they were fired upon one after the other upon the spot, and killed dead upon the spot. but that was after they had been surrendered up by the Indians, and to whom it had heen said, in answer to an inquiry if the men were safe—can't you trust a British officer ? Lord PORTMAN said he really would put it to the Noble and Learned Lord, whether it was fair that this matter should be pressed at present, in a desultory con versation, before the papers were laid upon the table— (Hear, hear) —surely the conversation had better not be carried further. —( Hear, hear.) Lord NORMANBY was understood to say, he wished it to be known distinctly, that he would be prepared either to produce the papers, or to give a satisfactory reason why not.—(Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM said, his Noble Friend (Lord Portman) had himself added to the desultoriness of the conversation, by making his lecture after the desultory conversation of which he complained had concluded.— (A laugh.) Lord PoRTATAN said he could not know that the engagement had finished, seeing that his Noble and Learned Friend had not sat down.—(A laugh.) POSTAGE. Lord BROUGHAM said he had risen to present a petition from Mr. Dionysius Lardner, who represented that his correspondence had long averaged 5,000 letters annually ; and that he had calculated the expense upon Rowland Hill's plan of postage, and found that without using the means of evading the postage, which at pre sent he was forced to employ, the postage would be a gainer, by the vast increase of his correspondence, and he therefore prayed that the plan be adopted. THE COLONIES. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then presented a Bill de claratory of the legislative power of the mother country over the Colonies—and prohibiting, under penalties, the fraudu lent practice which had been adopted in some Colonies, of passing resolutions, instead of Bills, against the coloured population—for instance, raising the qualification for the elective franchise from 201. to 501., in order thereby to avoid the superintendence of the Governors or of the Home Government. Lord RODEN presented two petitions, praying for a uniform rate of penny postage ; also a petition from a pa rish in Essex, praying their Lordships to support the Pro testant institutions of the country; and a petition from Bangor, in the county Down, against any further grant to the College of 11194.100 th. The Bills on their Lordships' table were advanced a stage. Adjourned till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 28. The Gallery was opened at Three o'dlock. - Mr. SHAW LerevaE, who appeared in an undress wig, and without a gown, sat in a chair at the corner of the table until the arrival of the messenger from the Lords, and was congratulated by almost every Member who en tered the House. At ten minutes after Three o'Clock the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod entered, and summoned the House to the House of Lords. The SPEAKER, on his return, having taken the chair, said—l have to acquaint the House that the House has been to the House of Peers, where the Lords au thorised by her Majesty's Commission hav e d ec l are d t h at her Majesty approves of the choice which this House has made in electing me to be its Speaker ; and I hope I may e permitted to make this observation, in again expressing y sincere and heart-felt thanks for the honourable mark of confidence which the House has conferred upon me, that I feel I shall have infinite occasion to call for their indulgence and support ; but I know that indulgence and support will never be withheld from me if I proceed fearlessly, faith. fully, aid honestly, in the discharge of my public duty.— ( Loud cheers.) Mr. Cowl.Et was introduced, and took the oaths and bis felt for Hertford. NEW WRITS. Sir T. FREE MANTLE moved for a new writ for the borough of Ludlow, in the room of Viscount Clive, now Earl of Powys. Mr. E. J. STANLEY moved for a new writ for the city of Edinburgh, in the room of the Right Hon. James Abercromby, called up to the House of Peers. The Holmes Estate Bill was read a second time and or dered to be committed. SMALL DEBTS BILL. On the motion of Mr. WILSON PATTEN, the Old ham Small Debts Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Mr. HUME wished to know what was intended to be done with respect to the Small Debts' Bill ? They had been expecting for the last two months that the Govern ment would bring forward some measure that would render them unnecessary, and on that account many of those Bills had been postponed. He thought the House ought to know whether it was or not the intention of Government to bring in any general measure, which he was sure ought to be done, as the present system of piecemeal legislation was extremely inconvenient. He thought the present Bill ought not to proceed further till it was known what the intentions of the Government were. Mr. W. PATTEN was as anxious as any man to know what the intentions of the Government were, as he be lieved it was the intention of parties to persevere in these Bills till checked by some general measure. Mr. HUME, as no Member of the Government was p hould resent, be pos wouldtponed move that the second reading of the Bill s Mr. FRESHFIELD, although he was desirous that a general measure should be brought forward„ considered it. unjust to postpone the present Bill when others had been allowed to pass. Mr. HUME observed that as there was some risk of there being a House to-morrow, he would move the post ponement of the second reading to Thursday. _ _ Mr. W. PATTEN said, if the Hon. Member for K kenny would allow the Bill to go through the second reading, he would undertake that it should not pass another stage till the intentions of the Government were known. The SPEAKER said the Bill had already been read a second time, and ordered to be committted ; and the only question now was, to what list it should be committed. Mr. W. PATTEN then moved the second reading of the Warrington Small Debts Bill. Mr. HUME moved the postponement of the second reading to Thursday. Mr. WALKER supported the second reading. Mr. F. MAULE considered the better course for the Honourable Member for Kilkenny to pursue would be to allow the Bill now to be read a second time, and at five o'clock to ask the Government what course they in tended to pursue. For his own part he considered a gene ral measure necessary. Mr. HAWES thought it was clear if they were to have a general measure the private Bills should be postponed. He wished the Hon. Gentleman opposite, or some other Hon. Member on that side of the House, would press the Government to make some statement on the subject. Mr. LUCAS said it was of great consequence to his country (Ireland) that the general measure which, he un derstood, had been promised by her Majesty's Government, should be introduced and carried through Parliament. Mr. BRISCOE would take that opportunity of saying, the country from one end to the other loudly called for an improved system respecting the recovery of small debts. That was a practical measure of reform that all parties wished to see effected.--( Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. HUME and Mr. WILSON PATTEN, the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. On the motion of Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, the Sidmouth Improvement Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Sir E. WILMOT presented a petition from Warwick against the Manchester Extension Railway Bill. The Grantham Small Debts Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition against certain clauses in the Barnsley Small Debts Bill. On the motion of the Hon. Baronet, the Report of the Committee on the Rishworth Reservoir Bill was consi dered, and certain clauses added. On the motion of Lord SA NDON, the Liverpool Court of Requests Bill, and the Liverpool Buildings Bill were read a second time, and committed. Mr. BA /iN E R NIA N moved the revival of the Committee on the Aberdeen Markets Bill, with liberty to sit on Thursday next.—Agreed to. LONDON POLICE BILL. Petitions in favour of the London Police Bili were pre sented by Mr. Cran ford from the wards of Farring,don- Within and Aldersgate-Without ; by Captain Pechell from the ward of Dowgate ; by Mr. Pattison from the wards of Billingsgate, Bassishaw, and two other wards ; by Mr. Barnard from Portsoken ; by Mr. Harvey from the wards of Langbourn, Cheap, Far ringdon- Within, and Cordwainers ; by Mr. Litton, from the wards of Cornhill, and Bridge ; and by Mr. Hodges, from the wards of Towerand Farringdon- Without. On the motion of Mr. DOTTIN, the Itchen Bridge Bill was read a second time. STROOD CHURCH. Mr. HAYTER presented a petition in favour of the Strood Church Bill. Sir E. FILIVIER presented three petitions in favour of parts of the _l3lll. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented a petition from Strood to the same effect. Mr. KEMBLE presented a petition to the same effect from a creditor to the amount of 2001, Mr. BE RNA L presented a petition from certain Mem bers of the Society of Friends against the Bill, as they ob jected to any measure which imposed Church-rates. On the motion of Captain PECHELL, the Brighton Cemetery Bill was read a second time. CITY POLICE BILL. Mr. PATTISON, in the absence of Sir M. Wood, moved the second reading of the City of London Police Mr. HAWES was about to ask a question on the sub ject of the Secretary of the Home Department, when Sir E. KNATCHBULL rose to order, as he consi dered the Hon. Member not competent to move the second reading. Sir T. FRE EMANTLE considered this to be a ques tion of precedence, as Honourable Members were called on in the order in which their names were put on the list. He did not object to the Hon. Member now putting down his name at the end of the list. Mr. PATTISON would withdraw his motion for the present, and move again afterwards, should the Hon. Ba ronet not be present in sufficient time to do so. On the motion of Mr. CLIVE the Norville and Ship ton Road Bill was read a third time and passed. The Slamannan Railway Bill, and the Eycmouth Har bour Bill, were read a third time and passed. On the motion of Mr. T. BARING the Portsmouth Harbour Bill was read a second time. Petitions in favour of the City Police Bill were presen ted by Mr. Alderman Thompson, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Litton. STROOD CHURCH BILL. Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved the second reading of Abe Strood Church Bill. Mr. BE RNA L moved as an amendment that the Bill be read a second time that day six months, and he would state the reasons that induced him to do so. The object of the Bill was to raise a certain sum of money, and to supply certain defects in an Act of Parliament passed in 1812. That Act was obtained for the purpose of raising a sum of 7,0001. to make some repairs in the cemetery of Strood, in Kent, and also in the parish Church. In the course of time the parties exceeded the powers of the Act, and instead of raising a sum of 7,000/. they raised a sum of 7.800/. on annuities and loans. They now found it difficult to levy rates in consequence of that illegality, and came before the House to procure the present Act. The parties pe titioning for the Bill were only thirty-four in number, out of 400 rate-payers. The petition which ne (Mr. B.) had the honour of presenting that evening against the Bill was signed by 219 rate-payers, including the minister and two churchwardens—being a majority of more than six to one against it. Out of the 30 trustees appointed by the Act, there were only four in favour of the present Bill. He contended that it was neither just nor pious to propose to tax parish to an indefinite amount to defray the expenses of a Bill like the present, as was proposed to be done. The Bill also proposed to give the appointment of all the trustees—nineteen in number—to the movers of the pre sent Bill, and that when any vacancy occurred, the trustees should have the power of electing another. He would ask was it proper that money should be raised for the purpose of paying any expenses the lawyers might choose? The petitioners had not money to contend against the Bill in Committee, and a abort Bill might be brought in to remedy the omissions of the existing Act of Parliament, and to this the petitioners would have no objection ; but they did object to the parish being taxed to pay for the laches of their legal advisers. Although there were several Dis senters in the parish, this Bill provided that no one should be elected a trustee except a member of the Esta blished Church, and he was sure his Hon. Friend would agree with him, that when heavy expenses were thrown on any body of men, that body of men had a right to have a vcice in the application of them, and that they ought not to be called upon to pay expenses which were not incurred by their own fault, but by the fault of the Vestry Clerk. Sir E KNATCHB ULL thought that the objections of the Hon. Gentleman would be most conveniently dis cussed in Committee. The fact was, that some informality existed in the present Act, whiclAvas necessary to be rec tified; and all he asked was that the Bill ought to be per mitted to go into Committee, in order that the clauses might be discussed and decided en in a legal and proper mariner. Mr. 1108130 USE considered it extremely inexpedient for the House to sanction the second reading of the Bill in its present state. If he thought the Bill could be so remodelled in Committee as to make it unobjectionable he would consent to its being committed, but he did not anticipate that an y suc h result could be attained. Mr. HODGE S h ad a most decided objection to the Bill. His name had been attached to the back of it with out his authority, and he trusted, therefore, that the House would throw it out, in the manner proposed by his Hon. Friend the Member for Rochester. I Mr. HA YTER supported the Bill, considering it to proceed, not only on the grounds of common justice, but common honesty. Its object was merely to obtain a re payment of a sum of 7,000/., that had been obtained so long ago as 1812. If expense was to be considered, less expense would he incurred by this Bill than by rejecting it ; and as any objectionable clauses could be considered in Committee, he should certainly vote for its committal. Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Sir S. Fiao n ta severally ex plained, and the House divided. The numbers were-- Ayes 66 Noes Majority against going into Committee —4B Tho Bill was therefore lost. CITY OF LONDON POLICE BILL. Mr. PATTISON moved the second reading of the City of London Police Bill. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from St. Mildred Ward, in favour of the Bill. Mr. H A WES wished to shorten the discussion that might take place on this Bill, first, by asking the Under- Secretary of State a question, and then ascertaining whether the promoters of the Bill were willing to ac . cede to what he understood would be the pro position of her Majesty's Ministers. He therefore now begged to ask the Honourable Gentleman below him whether he was disposed to refer the Bill to a Com mittee up stairs, and the House would probably allow him (Mr. H.) to state his objection to the Bill should that pro position be refused. Mr. FOX :MULE said the Hon. Member for Lam beth had taken rather an unusual course. The natural course would have been, first to assent to the second read ing, and then to have raised the question to what Corn ' mittee the Bill should be referred. He thought it would be more satisfactory to the public that the Bill should be referred to a Public Committee, where all its details could be fully and more fairly discussed. Mr. HAWES said that perhaps his Hon. Friend, the Member for London, would state whether he intended to oppose that proposition. Sir MATTHEW WOOD could assure the Hon. Member that he should oppose every proposition that came from any opponent of the Bill in every possible way. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose, and addressed some ob servations to Sir Matthew Wood, but in so low a tone of voice, that we could not catch even the purport of them. Sir M. WOOD said that when there was likely to have been a change in the Administration—(Tory cheers)—he went to the Noble Lord to announce his intention of having the second reading on the Friday, and understood that a letter had been received from the Hon. Member for Lambeth, stating that he should not oppose the second reading of the Bill, but making it a condition that the Under Secretary of State should be put on the Committee. To this he (Sir M. Wood) consented. Not a word was said about a Select Committee.—( Hear, hear.) Was this Bill to go to a Select Committee f chosen by the Hon. Member for Lambeth ?—( Tory cheers.) Waa there ever such a thing heard of as a Private Bill which was paid for by the Corporation of London, being referred to a Select Committee ?—( Hear, hear.) He was sure the House would treat this as they did other questions of a private nature. After they had changed the Bill and made it suitable to the Commissioners of Police, it was not right thus at the last moment, to take such a step as that now proposed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL must deny that he had been guilty of any breach of faith. Having consented to the in troduction of the Bill he certainly wished to see it passed. It was for the House to consider whether the Bill should be sent to a Select Committee or be dealt with in the usual manner—so far as it was of public importance. He thought that a Select Committee would be the best tribunal, but he did not consider it of much importance which Committee was selected. Mr. HAWES would be enabled at once to clear him self from the unjust and unfounded aspersions cast upon him by the Hon. Alderman. The Hon. Alderman was in that House very loose in his statements.--( Cries of " Order, order.") The SPEAKER considered that the Hon. Member was out of order in making use of an expression imputing to the Hon. Alderman that he was very loose in the state mements he made in that House. Mr. HAWF.S would at once bow to the authority of the Chair, and would instantly recall the expression which was thought offensive ; but, at the same time, he would proceed to show that the Hon. Alderman had then made a statement not founded upon fact. The Hon. Alderman had stated that the Bill and all its clauses had been approved of and agreed to by the Com missioners of Police. He would undertake to say that there was not the slightest foundation whatever for that statement. He positively assured the House that they objected to the Bill and to every clause contained in it. That was a fact, and he challenged the Hon. Alderman to make good his statement. The whole question was a simple one. A Committee of that House sat for two Sessions. It was composed of every shade of opinion, and their Report had been unanimously agreed to. He would again repeat that the Committee sat two years and took evidence, and on the evidence of the witnesses produced by the Hon. Alderman himself, the Committee tame to an unanimous determination to recommend that a Bill should be brought in placing the Police under one head—vix., the Commissioners of Police. That report had been agreed to unanimously, and was in direct contravention with the present Bill.--( Hear, hear.) Every Committee that had sat from 1792 to the present time had all agreed in recommending similar measures, and he would add that the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Corporation 01 the City of London, had recommended a measure founded on the same principles.---( Hear, hear.) The City of London professed to say that the Bill they now introduced was a Bill founded on similar principles, as the Metropolitan Police Bill. He (Mr. Hawes) would undertake to show the House that such was not the cause. The Corporation appointed a Committee, which was an nually elected-_they had the sole control over the police, acting under the instructions of the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Common Councilmen ; so that the police et a dis trict, containing 123,000 inhabitants, instead of being under one head, was under the control of the Lord Mayor, Alder men, Common Councilmen, and the Committee annually elected. The Bill was also defective on another point, and he was surprised to find that the Bill did not state by whom the men were to be appointed. It stated that the men belong- 1 ing to the police force should not canva s or vote at elections, but the most important officer in the force I was capable of having a seat in that House. The Commissioners of the Police, the Magistrates of \Westminster, were by special Act of Parliament prevented from having seats in that House, and he would put it to the House if they would permit the officer at the head of the City Police to be capable of being elected a Member of that House ; because, if the Police Commissioner might become a Member of that House he might be engaged in contested elections, and he would ask the House if they thought it was right and proper that such an officer should be so engaged. He was surprised to hear the Noble Lord say that he saw no material objection to thin Bill—( A laugh from the Opposition Benches)—when one of the most important officers under it, and who was to be in the receipt of a large salary, had the power of sitting in Parliament. He hoped that the House would not suffer this part of the Bill to stand. The Police Commissioner was not a Magistrate—possessed no authority as a Magistrate. There was no positive law under which he could be recognised., and this officer would have the command of 500 men, and not be responsible for his conduct to any one except to the Corporation of London. If this officer wore to be appointed a Magistrate, the City would withdraw this Bill, for so jealous were they on this subject, that they would not even permit the Aldermen to have the superintendence of the police. Another objection to the Bill was, that it did not place the whole of the police under a Commissioner, because by one of the clauses it was enacted that ward constables and ward beadles '' slieeld be elected under the authority of the Aldermen and Deputies, and wholly independent of the Commissioners of Police of the City of London. This Bill, which the: City had now introduced, was decidedly opposed to the Report which had been presented to the House in 18:14, and to the recommendation of the Corporation Commis,sioners. It woad not be difficult for him to refer to various reports to show that what he had stated was correct, but if the House were disposed to give ur, the report of its own Commissioners, and the C.overn meat ware inclined to give up the report of its own Commissioner—it was impossible for a singT.o indivi dual like himself to stand up against it ; but wleen he saw that the metropolis had been governed by ee system of police without any complaint against them, and when he well knew that slot expense of the present system of police was one-third less than the system propr,sed, he thought it was very much to be lamented thr.t the opposition of the City of London was put forth in order to pre vent a uniform, sound, and excellent system of police being appointed throughout the m ettopolis.—(Hear.) It had been stated that very few by rglaries had been com mitted in the City, now he could prove from the Report of the Commissioners themselves tb at such was not the case, and he was enabled to show that clueing those very years in which it had been stated that no rourglaries had been com mitted in the City a great nurehe r had taken place. There was no part of the metropolis in wh, ich crime was more preva lent than in the city of London, a uld therefore it was that the metropolitan districts were ern b rA titled at leedtaliobresqhd theret hatueirea a s similar system of police should existed in the \v i thregard surroundingrerd t 0. referring d istr icts. —( Hear,the i 1 a l n ,l l cheering.) to a Select Committee, there a ere plenty of precedent' , for that. The present, it was true , was a Private Bill ; 1 ,ut it related to public objects of gte :at importance. The Right Hon. Baronet the Member ft e• Tani worth, when le intro duced the Bill with respect tc, the British Aline; ,m, pro posed that it should bo referred to a .9 .. .t ext C orn _ mittee, and he (Mr. H.) did not see w hy the same course should not be adopted with the present Bill. If he was compelled to divide the Het is e on the second reading, he should d o so ; b ut if t h e Go , ernment were dis posed bona . fide, for the re h a d b een so i ch change in their opinions lately—( Cheering from the ( opposition benches) —but if they were disposed bona fide to support the Bill bensg referred to a Select Committee, then he should have no objection to the second reading; not, he should oppose it even if he stood alone.

RAPER and Co. beg again respectfully to recommend to the notice of the Public their improved and novel PATENT PROCESS of WATERPROOFING almost every article used in clothing as well as leather, from the remarkable qualities it possesses of rendering rabrics imper vious to rain, sea-water, and hot water, whilst the perspiration is not the least obstructed, and no unpleasant odour, or oleagi nous or glutinous qualities are imparted. The permanency of all these properties is not the least re markable circumstance attending this repellant agent, chemi cally combined with the fibres of the cloth; as neither time nor the usual means of washing and cleansing impair the effects. They refer to their Prospectus for further particulars, and are much gratified with the encouragement they continue to re ceive from the Royal Family, the Nobility and Gentry, the wholesalehouses, and the trade generally. 8, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, May 20, 1839.
