BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, KING'S CROSS, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. I "HR.ISON'S UNIVERSAL VEGETABLE MEDICINE. Mr. DREW, SHEFFIELD! Slao--As the Cholera prevails so bad in the town of Sheffield, and my Wife, Alethea Broadhead, having been cured of that dreadful disease, (by Morrison's Pills only,) I wish to make it as public as possible, for the benefit of i rlY fellow -creatures; truging that none who have any r egard for their lives will be withont this Medicine, as I firmly believe it to be a certain preven•ive and cure against this dire disease, which is carrying off so many of our neigh bours daily and hourly. My wife was taken ill on Friday, the 20th instant, with the usual concomitants of Cholera. A Doctor was called in, who said he could cure her, but she became worse; on Sunday night the Doctor declared it to be the Cholera, and requested her to be sent to the Cholera Hospital, as he should decline attending her at home. This alarmed us both. On the following morning, hearing of an advertisement in the paper, that Morrison's Universal Medicine was a certain cure, I applied to you, Sir, for the Medicine, and it was taken by your directions. The first two doses were soon rejected frotn off the stomach, but by repeating with strong doses she soon got a passage, and by continuing the Medicine every four hours for two days, I am happy to say the pains and sickness left her, and she is so far recovered as to take food and sleep well. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS BROADHEAD. No. 5, High-street Lane, Sheffield Moor. On Monday morning, July 23, Thos. Cook and Amelia his wife, from Doncaster, then at Mrs. Morgan's, No. 33, Water-lane, Sheffield, were seized with the Cholera, with purging and vomiting, with cramp and spasms in the breast and bowels; they immediately applied to me, and I administered the universal medicine in strong and re peated doses; and on Wednesday morning they were both well, and called to return their grateful thanks for their wonderful cure. Reference at Mrs. Morgan's. J. DREW. Mr. DaEw, Sul,— On Friday, 27th July, at half past twelve at night, I was obliged to call you out of bed for Medicine for my wife, Sarah Mitchell, who was suddenly attacked with the Cholera, with agonizing cramp in the stomach and bowels, her legs drawn stiff and cold (she had been attending a next-door neighbour, who had died a few days before with the above disease), I administered plentiful and strong doses of Morrison's Medicine to her, with every other attention requisite, and am happy to say on Sunday she was perfectly well. GEORGE MITCFIELL, 30th July, 1832, 93, Spring-street, Sheffield. George Pinder's daughter, taken ill of Cholera, on Saturday night, applied instantly for Medicine, and took them plentifully, and was cured in ten hours.

SECON D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clod. IMPERIAL PA R LIAM EN T 1 HIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER, on the summons of the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, proceeded to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills, for which see the Lords' Report. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought up the Report of the Committee, with amendments, on the Marquis of Lon donderry's Estate Bill, which were read a second time. Mr. SHAW presented petitions from the parish of St. Bridget, Dublin, against the Grand Jury Assessments, and from the attornies and solicitors of Ireland, praying to be relieved from a certain tax that is levied upon them. The Hon. Member said the tax was so small in amount, that its abolition would be not only not inconvenient to the revenue, but it would be but just to the parties. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was aware that the tax complained of was a matter for consideration whether it was worth while to persist in collecting it. Mr. SHAW then presented petitions from the congre gation of York.street Chapel, Dublin, complaining of the neglect of the Lord's Day, particularly by the upper classes ; and also three petitions from parishes in the county of Cork, against the Government plan of education in Ireland. Mr. SADLER presented a petition from certain opera tives of Oldfield-row, Salford, in favour of the Regulation of Labour in Factories Bill. Mr. D. W. lIARVEY moved for returns of the num ber of causes standing for trial in the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, on the Ist of Aug. in the present year, distinguishing the number of remanents, and the time when they were first entered. —Agreed to. Also a return of the number of causes and matters pend ing in the offices of each master in Hilary Term, 1825, and the causes referred to each master in every subsequent year, up to 1832, stating the number of general reports made upon the same. _ _ _ Mr. - HUME, - 111 ---- ;econding the motion, wished to aek Mr. HARVEY presented a petition from a person named Bustin, who had filled the office of Chief Secretary to the Governor of St. Lucia, praying the House to allow him to be examined before the Slave Trade Committee for the purpose of proving several criminal acts and cruel practices that had taken place in that island. Mr. WILDS presented a petition, most numerously and respectably signed by persons of property in various parts of the country, praying the House to adopt some measures for the cultivation of the unoccupied Crown Lands, in order to employ the poor. Mr. SHAW had a petition to present from a person named Moles, who complained that he had been dismissed from the Irish Post office after 31 years' service, without compensation. The petition in consequence of some in formality was withdrawn. Mr. S. RICE said, the petitioner was a most respectable man, but when the Irish Post-office was consolidated with the London one, the Duke of Richmond looked out for those who had other businesses to support them than their official one, to discharge them in preference to those who entirely depended upon their offices. It was found that Mr. Moles was a practising attorney, and for the last three years he had absented himself for long periods.—(Hear.) upon those two grounds had he been selected to be dis charged. With regard to the Treasury, they were not in the habit of granting retiring allowances to any one unless they were recommended by the department to which they belonged, which was not the cave here. Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from 600 tradesmen, praying for a law to abolish Sunday markets. Colonel EVANS moved for returns of the number of persons in the city and liberties of Westminster, who had paid their rates up to the 31st of July, distinguishing, as far as possible, the number of females who were rated to the poor's rate.—Ordered. In answer to a question from the Gallant Colonel, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was necessary for scot and lot voters to pay rates previous to the 31st 01 July, the same as if that had been the first day of election. Mr. HUME could not let that opportunity pass with out expressing his deep regret that the Noble Lord oppo site (Althorp) had abandoned the Bill to extend the time fur the payment of rates, of which he had given notice. The number of voters would be very small in almost every place, and it would not give satisfaction to the country. Lord ALTHORP said he might certainly have pro ceeded with the Bill, and possibly have carried it, but as it was opposed, whe❑ could he have done so ; not till after the 20th of August, and then what would have been the use it ? Neither could he extend the time till the Ist of September, for that would have put back the lists of the overseers so far as to render it impossible to have had a dissolution this year, and so have rendered it necessary to have had another Session of the present Parliament. He did not think that that would have given satisfaction to the country. Colnol SIBTHORPE was very glad to hear from that King of Reformers, the Hon. Member for Middlesex, that the detestable Bill (with which, thank God, he had nothing to do) would not give satisfaction to the country. Colonel EVANS then moved for a series of returns connected with the number of 101. houses rated in the books, and the numb:r of persons who had qualified. Mr. Alderman VENABLES was anxious to assure the Government that the country was very dissatisfied with the time given them in which to pay their rates. The number of electors would be very small compared to what it ought to be. Mr. ROBINSON said, that no doubt a great many people would be disfranchised who had not paid their rates and taxes. It was their own noglect, but it was probable they were taken by surprise. Lord ALTHORP said, one of the principles of the Reform Bill was the payment of taxes and rates, and that very clause was in the Bill from December until it passed, so that very full notice «as given, and it was not fitting that Parliament should be re quired to alter that principle, although persons might become disqualified. He would have had no objection to extend the period for plying the taxes and rates to the 20th of August, but it would have been impossible to extend it to September without causing great delay in the registration, and altering all the dates of the proceedings. Mr. D. W. HARVEY, after the Noble Lord's candid declaration, put it to him, whether it would not be neces sary very soon to reassemble Parliament. Much appre hension was entertained that the constituency of the kingdom would be so narrowed that the system of no mination, which it was the object of the Bill to de stroy, would still prevail. He did nut, however, be lieve it would be narrowed to such an extent as that. It would seem that much of this arose from the supineness of the people. Reform was a very easy word to express, and people were mistaken if they thought that the Bill would do every thing of itself; but upon the people the great responsibility was thrown to give effect to the Bill. He regretted that so much supineness had been shown, because that narrowed the con stituency. But it should be ascertained, if possible, whether this narrowing of the constituency was occasioned by the neglect of the people, or of their incapacity to pay rates and taxes, and that was the object of the present motion. If the result showed that it arose from incapacity, it would be well for the Government to think of repealing the assessed taxes, and thereby relieve the people of such a heavy burthen. The Bill in his opinion should not only be called a Bill to reform the Representation, but also a Bill to increase the revenue, for it was a most ingenious way of collecting the taxes. He could not reconcile to himself the injustice of making the payment of taxes a necessary qualification for a constituent. The qualification should merely have been the occupation of a 10/. house, without requiring payment of rent and taxes. Mr. C. WYNN regretted that the period for paying the rates and taxes had been so short, and as for the full notice that had been given, he was sure that many people could not understand the nature of the discuss►ons which took place night after night in this Heuse upon the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that not a third of the persons entitled to qualify themselves would do so from the trouble of registration, the constant solicita tion from candidates, and the probability of offending customers. Lord ALTHORP begged be might not be understood as pledging himself that Parliament would not meet before a certain period ; he was averse to it, except under very par. ticular circumstances. Matters, however, ;night take place which imperatively demanded the meeting of Parliament at an early period. The Noble Lord further stated. in answer to an observation by Sir J. C. Hobhouse, that under the old law, all persons, scot and lot voters, were entitled to vote if they had paid their rates—if they had been demanded on or before the day of election, under the new law it was requisite that the rates should have been paid, if they had been demanded on or before the day registration, which was equivalent to the day of elec tion under the old law. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL contended that the public had condemned the principles of the Bill, which in its details was full of incongruities. After a few words from Mr. \VEYLAND the motion was agreed to. Mr. V. SMITH presented petitions from Chester against Suttees and slavery, and in favour of the new plan of education in Ireland. Mr. JEPHSON brought up the report of the Com mittee on the Irish Post Roads. Mr. HUME said, as the Parliament was likely to break up soon, he was anxious to bring fotwatd the question of the detention of John Capes by the authorities of Guernsey. He was a beadle of Saint Pancras, who was sent to Guernsey with some paupers who were regularly passed as directed by Act of Parliament, and that he had been seized by the author ities of that island while in the execu tion of his duty. He had intended to move an address to his Majesty for his liberation, but he understood the Honourable the Under Secretary of State had some communication to make which would render that step unnecessary. He was anxious to know what that was, for he understood the man was now confined in prison. Mr. LAMB said he understood he was confined in the prison, having been caught in attemping to tacape. INFIRMARIES (IRELAND). The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a Dill to consolidate the laws relating to infirmaries in Ireland. lie did not mean to press it this session, but laid it upon the table with a view to its previsions becoming known by next year. CRIMINAL CODE. The Eirl of CEIARLEMONT presented a petition front certain Protestant Diss enters of Armagh, in favour of the mitigation of the Criminal Code. The Bishop of LONDON presented a similar petition from Bishop Stortford. Lord SEFTON presented a similar petition from Kings • bridge. Lord HOLLAND presented a similar petition from the National Political Union. THE SABBATH. On the motion of the Bishop of LoNnox, a Message was sent to the Commons, requesting them to communi cate to their Lordships the report of the Select Committee on the observance of the Sabbath. TITHES (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWN rose to move the second reading of the Irish Tithe Bill. His Lordship having stated that the Bill was founded upon a recommendation of a Committee of their Lordships' House, as well as of the House of Commons, proceeded to explain the objects of the Bill, and the mode in which these objects were to be carried into effect. If their Lordships consented to its being read a second time this evening, he should propo,e its committal for to-morrow. The Marquis of WES 'MEATH regretted that the Commutation Bill, in contemplation, had not been also brought up ; for he feared that this Bill alone would not satisfy Ireland of the sincerity of the Government, or of the House in their professions with regard to the abolition of tithes. As this was the last opportunity, of speaking on Irish affairs, be could not help again asking the Noble Lord opposite, whether the Government had resolved upon any steps to put down the actual rebellion which existed in Ireland ? In Westmeath alone, there were 252 offences against the person and property in the past year, but only 62 committals had taken place, and out of those there had not been one conviction. In fact all law was at an end. Was this state of things to continue, cr would Ministers bring in roper measures to restore tranquillity? Earl GREY said that in reply to the question of the Noble Marquis, it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to propose any extraordinary measures this session, but exert themselves to restore tranquillity by means of the present laws. Such good had already been done by the measures in which Government had vindicated the authority of the law. A kind of tranquillity had been restored i❑ Clare, Queen's County, and Tipperary. It was the determination of the Government to continue as far as possible to support the authority of the law. If these who had taken advantage of the unfortunate con dition of Ireland to make attacks upon Ministers, in.teal of endeavouring to quiet the agitation prevailing there. had acted according to the real interest they had in Ire land, it would be much better off, for there was no coun— try whose capabilities of internal improvement were Sc. great. The Marquis of WESTMEATH defended himself from the imputation of attacking his Mejestj's Govern ment, and thought the Noble Lord would most certainly r,pent of not having taken the advice of practical men in taking measures for preserving the peace of Ireland. Earl GREY explained. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, that he would repeat what be had often said in the course of the Session, that Ireland required extraordinary remedies. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that one reason why the Government bad not called for new powers was, that the Act corresponding with our Habeas Corpus Act was in Ireland capable of being suspended ; the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in case of rebellion and invasion, said it was for the executive there to decide upon what was rebellion. He, for one, placed the moat implicit confidence in the judgment, ability, humanity, and in case of need, the vigour of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government of Ireland. After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON, the - Bill was read a second time, and committed for to-mor row.--Adjourned at 6 o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, AuousrB. (Concluded from our Second Edition of yesterday.) CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said he had given notice of his intention to introduce o clause in the Bill to permit of ficers on-half-pay to hold at the same time civil appoint ments, but he would not move to introduce it except on the report being brought up. He would, however, state his intentions and his motives for introducing such a measure. The Right Hon. Baronet then recapi tulated the several changes which had been made upon this subject from the year 1810, and stated that for a long period no officers on half-pay bad been permitted to hold civil appointments except as Barrack -masters or on foreign stations. In accordance, however, with the Fi nance Committee's recommendation, the previous re gulations, via,—those of 1820, had been re vised. It was always considered the half pay was a sort of retaining fee, but it by no means followed that that was to be a rule without any and many exceptions. It could not be a retaining fee as regarded the sick, in firm, or very aged, or those who were excepted by the regulations of 1811, besides which, out of the ins tnense number of officers holding half-pay, it was morally impossible that ever any large majority of them would be called out upon service. There were about 7,000 on half pay. The Report of the Finance Committee of 1828 went on figures, which certainly seemed very astounding ; for it was said that there were four hundred and four officers on half-pay, receiving also civil salaries, and whose whole incomes amounted to 41,6821. The inference of the Committee was (and which was in his opinion a very erroneous one, as the results proved), that the whole of that sum might be saved ; and so they thought with regard to those naval officers whose half-pay and civil salaries amounted to 33,0001. a year ; the Commit tee thought to save about 73,008/. a year. The result had, in fact, proved that by allowing naval and military officers on half-pay to hold civil offices, the country would he the gainer. By the returns laid before the House it appeared that the re commendation of the Finance Committee lad only the effect out of the appointment to civil offices of 404 officers, to remove 21 in four years, for only that number would consent to give up their half-pay and reeeive civil appointments. It had been clearly proved that officers would not give up their half pay on condition of re ceiving civil salaries. Of 291 officers who were so situated at the beginning of this year, 181 were o f the lowest scale of officers, 106 of them holding civil appointments under 150/. a year, and none above 2501. He was of opinion that half-pay officers in certain situations were the fittest persons to fill offices. Taking all those circumstances into consideration, considering also that it was hard to keep a perpetual bar against a meritorious person, and that, by giving this boon, no extra expense would be incurred, the Right Hon. Baronet conceived he was justified in moving his amendment. It was fit he should state that this arrangement would not discharge officers from the liability of military service. This change he proposed should take effect from the Ist of January next, Lnd that it should be necessary in each case to have the joint sanction of the Treasury and the Secretary at War ; and in order that there might be no misunderstanding as to the parties so employed, it should be provided that before the Ist of April in every Session a return should be made to Parliament of all officers so employed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME had not the slightest doubt that his Itig, , it lion. Friend thought he was doing a service to the army, tnd benefiting the country, by the proposed measure. He, however, felt sorry that he took so narrow a view of the subject, and he must protest a gainst the measure as an innovation on the principles /aid down by the Finance Committee.—(Hear, hear.) Time Right Honourable Gen. tleman had laid all the blatne on the Committee ~ f 1828 Mr. HUME observed, that if reduction had gone on since then, there could be no necessity for making any al.. terations now. He must repe; . tt that his Right Honourable Friend had been acting upon a priacipla
