HOUSE OF LORDS—Fun:ay, Auo. 2. To-day their Lordships met about four o'clock, when the Bishop of EXETER read prayers. , THE BANKRUPT LAWS. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" My Lords, it will be in your Lordships' recollection, that When I submitted to the consideration of your Lordships two Bills for the improvement of the Bankrupt Laws, which have since passed into laws, I stated thk it was my intention to assist in remedying some existing evils, by orders, which the Great Seal can of its own authority pronounce, and to propose another Bill, which it was my wish should extend to the most important defects that had presented themselves during an inquiry into this part of the law. ' This Bill I now propose, not at this late period for adoption, but rather for the consideration which its importance may require ; and I trust that I shall not be understood to pledge myself to the ultimate approbation of all the measures, because I am satisfied that they are worthy of Mature deliberation and inquiry. I wish care fully to explain myself—that I am not so pledged, that upon some of the measures I have not formed a decided opinion, and that I shall avail myself of the opportunities which this interval will afford to consider, not only the substance, but the language in which some of the proposed alterations are conveyed. With this explanation I have thought it, better to submit the Bills to your Lordships' consideration in their present state, that we may consider what parts ought to be adopted, and what reject ed. The first species of evil which this Bill proposes to reme dy, relates to the act of bankruptcy; and I propose, first,. that . a fundamental warrant of attorney, or transfer of goods and chattels, shall be, in the same manner as a conveyance by deed now is, an act of bankruptcy. The evil is, to say the least, the same, and the remedy to the general body of cre ditors ought not to be defeated by the form. The next act, which, if it should ultimately appear wisp to adopt, is a most important alteration, is to enable a trader; by declaring himself to be insolvent, to be the instrument of having a commission issued against himself. Of this I must say I have serious doubts, upon which I shall anxiously reflect before the Bill is again Opposed ; and, without pledging myself one way or the other, I will do the best in my power to ascertain how - far I. ought to support it. To diminish some of the evils' which I foresee, the Bill contains a clause to prevent the bankrupt con trolling the assignees and certificate by creating creditors by ac commodation bills. The clause . proposes that such creditors shall not vote in the choice of assignees, or assent to the certifi cate, although - they may dissent from it. There is another clause for the iaayment of costs in such cases, to the execution creditor, that he may not, by his vigilance, be in a worse sitna tion than the other creditors:l next propose that no existing Corn mission shall be defeated by proof of the requisites to support an anterior Commission, which may never issue, unless upon a petition to supersede presented within three months after the Commission has issued. The next clause proposes, that to' remedy the evil which sometimes exists of compelling Tier sons to attend in London, and at distant parts of the country, the Lord Chancellor shall have power to issue Auxiliary , Commissions, amongst other purposes, for the examination of witnesses. The next proposes, that property in the Colonies shall pass by the usual bargains and sale • and that, after a certain period of time, a bankrupt shall be eitopped from object ing to titles of purchasers under the Commission. The next proposes to give to Commissioners the power to compel the attendance of assignees and of the bankrupt, and subject to a provision, that the creditors may not be harassed by unnecessary inquiry or axpence, to enable the Commissionersto expunge the proof of debts. The next proposes, that no certificate shall be signed within six months after the bankrupt has passed his last examination, unless it is signed by four-fifths, instead of three:fifths : and that the/certificate shall be of no avail, if the bankrupt has fabricated any books, bills, or documents, to defraud his creditors. On the other hand, it is proposed, as a check upon the power now proposed by the value in Credi tors, in opposition to the majority, that, after a certain period, nine-tenths in number shall have the same power as is now possessed by three-fifths in number and value. 'There is also a temporary clause to enable the Commissioners, first, and then the Chancellor, to grant the certificate where it is signed by all excepting one, of the statutable number ' • unless such creditor can shew cause against the allowance. This is, however, a temporary expedient. By its effects we may be enabled to judge as to the expediency of a permanent adop tion of a similar measure. The next clauses relate to enabling the Court to look at all the examinations upon a Habeas Corpus, or in an action for false imprisonment. The other clauses, which ought properly to originate in another 'place, are to give additional fees in certain cases to Quorum Com missioners, to enable them to receive a legal, instead of tak ing an illegal, compensation, for their attendance ; and to give costs to witnesses summoned before the Commission ers. Such is the outline of the Bill which I submit to your Lordships. Some of the suggestions appear to me to be of great importance, and both in substance and in form to re quire much further consideration. To create opportunity for this consideration, I have . thought it tight to propose the Mea sures; but without pledging myself as to their adoption, or if adopted, whether in their present or in an improved shape. I move that the Bill be now read a first time, and that it be printed for the convenience of Noble,leords."—This motion was agreed to. The General Turnpike Bill, the Barilla Duty Reduction Bill, the. Scotch Spirits Bill. the East India Sugars Bill, the Smuggling Prevention Bill, the Sixteen Millions of Exche quer Bills Bill, the Irish Militia Pay Bill, and the Stamp Du ties Bill, were read a third time, and passed.—The Appronria: tion Bill, and the Irish Tythe Leasing Bill, went respectively through Committees, and were reported.—Adjourned to Monday.

Mr. PRILLIAtoRE said,' that he had a motion to make on the part of the next of kin in this case. — The LORD CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Phillimore, if be was aware that, in consequence of the late Marriage Act, his clint was no longer next 6f kin ? He (the Lord Chancellor) did not know what order to make in this case. The party's title, both to the .real and • the personal estate, , under Lord Haxdwicke's Marriage Act, - was.destroyed by the effect of thelate act. Mr. PHILLIMORE said, as his motion, he . understood, was one merely of course, he had not looked into it with any_atten tion, and was consequently taken by siirprise. Ws Lordship would,Therefore, have the goodness to allow it to stand over. ThesLoßD CHANEELLOR.--" Lgt it stand over for the pre sent. I received last night, and I have been for the last week receiving, anonymous - lett.irs,- complaining of the operation of certain clauses in that Act. don't know how to inform inv correspondents of it, hilt I do not consider myself answerable for any thing Contained in that act." EDWARD WADDILOVE 7.N"i'HE MATTER OF EDWARD LANOT.,EY, A;.Y, ALLEGED LUNATIC.' Mr. HART in this case argued in suppOrt of the Cominission,. He stated that the present petition came before the 'Court on a caveat. : The petitioner was,.on.„of the grandsons of Mr. Lang ley. The. petition Stated, the supposed lunatic had attained the advanced: 40e _erninetv years, and that in con sequence of this advanced - age Tie, was incapable of ma naging his pectiniary Affair's: Among other circumstances which . Were brought forward to support this allegation, on one occasion he was stated to have called upon the pe titioner to complain of the misconduct Of Mrs. Langley, his wife, and in consequence desired Mr. Waddilove to procure a lodging for him. The Petitioner, took him in hii carriage, and after a circuitous route took him ba c k t o his own h ouse ,- w hich he did not at all recognise, but supposed it to be the lodging. On another occasion he complained to PetitiOner that all his household furniture had been disposed of, When there was not even the slightest ground for the Charge. This Petition was supported by the affidavit of another grandson, -Mr. W. Wad.; dilove, a solicitor, which stated that having consulted a Mr. Green, as to the capability,of Mr. Langley to manage his affairs, that that gentleman was of opinion that he was not. It further stated, that the -supposed lunatic had thirteen t,rrancl.. children, but that he did not know any of them, but on the con trary, denied that he had either children or grandchildren ; that he frequently went to the chambers of the deponent in Lincoln's-inn, in consequence, he said, of the ill-treatment, of his wife (for which there was not the slightest foundation), and requested he rhight be accommodated in the chambers of deponent. In the month of- March last, he made an applica tion of a similar description, and when.. informed. there was a lodging at the cornet of Lincoln's-inn-fields; lie expressed him self satisfied, saying he should be safe there, as he had not any smuggled goods about him. Other facts of incoherency were also sworn to. The Learned Gentleman, 'after Commenting on these facts at some length, concluded by hoping that, under all the circumstances, his Lordship would grant'an inquiry. Mr. ROSE followed on the same side. • - Mr. HEALD stated that he appeared on behalf of Mr. Lang theyentleman whom such a desire had been manifeSted to render insane, in spite of his teeth, in order to serve the mer-• cenary views of his Oandeliildren, which appeared to: bethought more suitallte 'than to permit hi m to pass appeared to bethought more suitate 'than to permit him to pass th,emainder of his days in quiet in the bosom of his family. This gentleman having arrived at the advanced age of 90, had naturally become irritable, and this was the . faet especially witkrespect to pecuniary.affairs. It. appeared that some time previous to the acts sworn to against Mr. Langley as inclicativeof an impaired mind, that gentlemah had made a will in favtair of his grandsons ; after which they 'turned round and asserted that from that time he was of an im becile mind: Now his Lordship would bear in mind that Mr. W. 'Waddilove, the solicitor for the present commission, had acted almost up to the present time as the solicitor of his grand father also. The. alleged acts were all coniprised within. six months, and they had been judiciously so . confined, as it pre vented hini (1).1r.,340.141 from conarnenting . .on; transaettens 'which had taken place ant ece dent t o that period ;not very cre.; durable to that persons One of the facts sworn to as conclusive of the unfitness of this gentleman to dontinue the management Of his own affairs wit, that on his solicitor, Mr. William Wad: dilove, informing him that he had-received a letter from a Mr. Norman (on Whose estate Air. Langley had a mortgage of 7001.) stating, that he wished to pay off-the money,' and desiring to know whether Mr. Langley was willing to receive it, that gen.; tleman replied in the affirmative. His grandson, however, in-: formed him, when sometime afterwards lie asked for the monev, that he must wait for - it until Norman had sold his estate. The same person did, however, subsequently receive the turn on be half of his grandfather, who, after making several fruitless an; plications to get it out of his Solicitor's hands, was obliged to have recourse to another professional Gentleman, in order to compel the payment. Then, for the ph r p o i e o f saving his cha racter, he paid 4001. into the hands of The hankers, with an ad; Monition not tci pay it over, as a commissioh of lunacy was about to issue, keeping hack the- remaining 3001. for the pay.; ment of his own coits,'inpursuing that' measure. • Such con duct he conceived was sufficient to irritate any person, and it was necessary to expose the whole of these transactions, as no man after he had attained an advanced age .would be safe, if the Court sanctioned Such proceeding, from the rapacity of re latives. If this Solicitor had not confined himself within this period, lie would Rave been able to shew his conduct in such a light as to disgrace him forever. _ _ Mr. ILtuT - thou,* such expressions oughit, to be avoided-1. his Learned Friend should confine himself to facts. ` - "Mr..HEALti was Stating nothing which was not contained in the affidavits. • He was not in the habit of telling his Lordship old women's stories. - Mr. Langley had in his firth year executed a trust-deed in favour of Edward and William, his grandSnns, which was prepared by the latter. , Now, Mr. Heald would ask, whether, if the petition had gone back to that period, that trans action would not hive disgraced. William Waddilove for ever ? N-Vhatever'were the motives that induced the instituting this measure, they were not good ones. it was a-singular fact also, that, after this petition had; been orrte abandoned, it should have been afterwards renewed: • Mr. HART said, that all the blame attached to that measure was alone attributable to himself. Mr. H EALD was sorry for it—The Learned Counsel, after. alluding to the conduct of Mr. W. Wgrldilove,in pretty strong language, concluded by trusting' that his Lordship would miss this Petition. . Mr. HART replied, that if there were any blame attached to keeping alive this matter, that blame rested in a considerable de gree with himself. When it was stated to him that the Gentle man at whose instanceit was first set on foot, was willing to" abandon it, he having read the evidence intended to support it, certainly thought that his client had erred in judgment, especially when informed that Dr. Powell would be enabled to contradict the affidavit of Dr. Latham. From these circumstances it did appear to him (Mr. Hart), that some further investigation Was necessary; not to induce his Lordship instantly to issue his commis:4lon against the individual—very far from it ; but in order that, after some-furthei inquiry, his Lordship might deal, with this case' as he was in"the habit of dealing with those of a similar complexion. It was perfectly, well understood that there was an intermediate course in Which the Court was in the eonstailt practice of dealing with eases of this kind. As to the motives which, induced persona to come forward in this manner, with diem his Lordship had distinctly said, he could have nothing to do. However, he certainly considered that a disposition on the part of Counsel to vilify:those motives, was but to.) prevalent, an.l therefore he should consider it unnecessary to call attention to this part of the present case, otherwise than with a view to ask, whether it was fitting that men's characters should be dealt with in a Court of Justice in a way of which this day had furnished an example ? It was well known that that which, passed in this Court (and he believed the observation would apply to all others), was not as heretofore confined within its walls, or to' persons who' happened accidentally to be pre sent ; but that accounts of its proceedings travelled abroad, taking their atatenients.fromthe addresses bf Counsel, who of ten, instead of confining themselves to the reading of their affidavits, 'indulged in invective, which the facts there stated , would not warrant. II is Lord ship had heard him complimented by his Learned Friend,forhis uniform zeal on the part of his clients. 'Whether that expression were intended ironically or otherwise, he (Mr. Hail) knew not, but this he did know, that he could not accuse himself 'with ever' haling attempted to blast the character of an innocent man. His Lordship could not have forgotten the terms which had been applied to the character of this young man. and the justice of these terms. Mr. Heald had repeated, he would prove, from the affidavits of his (Mr. Hart's) own client, repeat ing several times, " that nothing could be so wicked as endeavour ing to'tie up his benefactor and grandfather, and thkt from mo. I tives themost corrupt;" adding, that such conduct alone was I sufficient to prevent his sheaving his face in society. Air. Heald had promised to support this., assertion by the affi davits, but his endeavours to induct his Learned Friend to perform that promise had been unsuccessful. Mr. Hart said that, therefore, he felt himtelf called upon to read .the affida vit alluded to, requesting, that those who were then in Court would imbibe their impression from the facts there - stated, and not from the licentious language of Counsel. Mr. HEALD—I don't know whether his Lordship will permit Such langage to be applied in Court, but if he. does, Mr. Hart arid I must have an explanation elsewhere. - Mr. HAnT—Poh ! pob I The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read the affidavit of Hannah Langley, and Coneluded - by leaving the whole case to his .Lordship's consideratige. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that there_ was no class of cases in which he experienced more difficulty and pain than that to which the present , belonged. From a most accurate re collection of what had passed in this Court, his Lordship could say, that previous to that of Charlton Palmer, in no case re presented,to be such as the present, a Comthission. of Lu nacy- would have issued. In arguments in cases of this de scription; his Lordship observed, that the feelings not only of the parties - themselves were excited, but very frequently the Counsel for those parties were inoculated with the same impressions. The thing, continued his Lordship, has ,taken this course on the _,present occasion, but I trust that there will now- be an end of all that has passed at the bar this day ; indeed I insist upon it. The party in the present case might very naturally be supposed to have angry feelings on, the subject, for all the affidavits spoke of this Gen tleman as of the supposed lunatic, from which he might rea sonably entertain great apprehensions of a strait Waistcoat.— This .was not, however, an application for a ,Complissio:k to be directed against him as a lunatic, but it was an application supported ,on the groUn4., that in consequence of the effect of old age, his mind bad -beconit impaired, which species of inabeci-' lity had unfitted him for the management of his pecuniary affairs, and that therefore he ought to have some care thrown around hint iu order to aid in their direction. In the case of Charlton Palmer, decided before Lord Thurlow, it was argued that .in this species of care the Court had no 'jurisdiction. It was obvims that in cases of this description a man of any feel ing would hesitate long before he took this step, and it was rather to be inferred, therefore, that too much tithe had elapsed, than that the application had been prematurely made. With respect ta the facts stated in the petition (putting the question as to the dishonest motives of Wadclilove ou t of consideration) he did think that some consideration ought to be given them. On one occa sion it was sworn that he requested to see three Sheriffs, because, he said his relations were quarrelling about his property.— Could any person doubt that such a span was incapable of ma nag* his affairs? His Lordship concluded by desiring that Dr. Powell and Dr. Latham would - be so good as to make an affidavit, and state to the Court their, opinions, not with respect to idiotcy—not with respect. to lunacy, but with respect to pro-. . tecting himself \ agamst unpositjon. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AI:G. 2. WATERS V. TAYLOR. It will be recollected that this case, 'which has been so long pending in this Court and the Court of ChanCery, Was referred to the- Master, to report with respect to the claims of the various creditors -under the estate. The Master has now re.: ported with regard to a portion only of'those creditors. •- Mr. HEALD moved by Petition on behalf of those creditors upon whose cases the Master had reported, _that the report should be immediately acted upon, and that they should re ceive payment out of the funds of the estate. Mr. RUSSELL appeared on the part of Mr: Taylor, and consented to the Petition. Mr. HART, on behalf of the Creditors for Whom no report had yet been Made, opposed the application upon this single ground.— that no steps could be taken towards the payment of any body of creditors, unless the whole were included. The Master hav-. ing reported only upon the cases of a small portion of the cre ditors, it could not be acted upon, and the Court would see hoW manifestly unjust it would' be to those creditors who were axeltulol,--if such a preference as was' no* applied for were allowed. • Mr. BELL and Mr. RAIVIER followed on the same side, and resisted the claims upon similar grounds; The COURT was of opinion, that the application must he re fused. Although it was a hardship upon the petitioners that their claims should not be satisfied, as the Master had reported upon them, yet it could not be snared that they should receive payment to the exclusion of the rest of the creditors. - The Master ought to have reported with respect to the claims of the whole of their creditors, and not as a portion of them only; Considering thepeculiar nature of the application, the petition would be dismissed Without costs: RIOT AT BRIGHTON RACES: A serious disturbance took place on the race= dOwn on Monday evening, 29th ult. The drinking booths had been crowded after the close of the sports, and so they con. tinned at the approach of night. Liquor, at times, will have a potent effect on those who deeply partake of it : so it turned out in the instance alluded to, and several fights took place. The headboroughs had left the ground, but the beadles remained there. The latter interposed their authority to subdue the grow:. ing disposition to warfare, but it was ineffectual. The beadles were unmercifully beaten, and limbs and lives appeared in (lan.: ger. While the battle raged as described, a messenger from the Scene of action reached the- residence of our active Magistrate Sir Davin SCOTT.; and who strongly petitioned that the military might be called out; as nothing short of such an intervention, he said, could premise to restore tranquillity: The Baronet, de termined to be convinced that there was an actual necessity for the measure advised before he sanctioned it, ordered his horse, and, accompanied by one headborough (Hartwell), on Lorse 'hack likewise, galloped off for the riotous quarter. He found the disturbance more general than he had anticipat ed; and, spirited and dangerous as was the attempt, in an instant he was in the midst of it, in the hope, by a timely remonstrance, of restoring peace. But he was deceived the warriors, in their rage, seemed bent on mischief, and heavy stones were thrown in all directionl. Sir - David now kept his ground at the imminent risk of his life; one fellow,' seizing the bridle, made an effort to dismount him, but a - determined blow from the staffed' the beadle (Mills) broke the assailant's arm, and frustrated his purpose. Sir David was wounded in many parts of the bony, and one of the missiles lacerated his face. Several of the beadles at this time, stunned by the blows inflicted, were prostrate • And no one obeyed the call of authority to aid and as sist in quelling the riot. A few persons, at last, became more discreet, and two of the offenders, named llibbins anti Martin, the former a blacksmith, and the other a labourer, in the end were secured, and sent off to the gaol at Lewes. From the downs, the fire of discord reached the level; where, fur some time, it was not to be extinguished ; but Sir David, with the headborough named, who had kept close by him and suffered similarly, regained his residence; and‘thotigh much bruised atnci bleeding, without being dangerously hurt. Warrants were then issued against such of the mob as were known, and five or Six in the early part of the following day were in custody. At the Town-hall, on Tuesday evening, Sir David attended the examin ations, and William Ockenden, G. Tester, and others, were compelled to find bail for their appearance at the Assizes.= Ilibbins and Martin were brought back frofn the gaol at Lewes .-the former found bail, but the latter - was detained in default. A warrant was directed against Air.,Peters, information hav ing been lodged against him, stating him to have taken a lead.: ing part in what-had occurred. Peters and some others are to be brought before the Bench this day. We hear that several are in custody. At the Town-hall, on Tuesday, Sir David exhi bited a scar in the face, arid his left arm, he said ; was painful,, and nearly useless. Swollen cheeks, black, blue, and yellow marks, and eyes nearly closed, bad been pretty equally dealt out among the beadles. Providentially no life 'was lost.• The person whose arm was fractured as yet remains concealed.— (Brighton Gazette.) • \ ALL IN ONE DAY !!!—Tuesday, the 13th of This Month, the Lottery finishes.—The Wheel still contains-Two Grand Prizes - of e 30,000 Consols, and various other Prizes,' all,of which must be Drawn that Day.—A' few warranted undrawn Tickets and Shares are yet on Sale at 13isn's Offices ) 4 , Cornhill; and .9, Charing- Cross.

It perhaps may be in your recollec tion that in October, last year, several of the newspapers., in their Marylebone Police Report, stated that the, daughter of a Noble Earrhad been seduced and ran away with from her father, and was apprehended with her paramour for robbing her lodgings, and committed to Newiate: This story excited my consideration, and I took an opportunity to visit her in prison, to ascertain whether it were true. The young woman, a genteel and handsome girl about 16 years of age, burst into tears, and, in 'an artless and modest manner, told tyre the follov'ing story.:—She was of humble parents and had been engaged in a family, the name of which she concealed, but which stippose was that of the man of colour who se= duced her, and she betame pregnant. To avoid . exposure, -he took prLvate lodgings for her at Midwife's somewhere - about. .Norton-street,..from whence, after being delivered, she' was removed to a' Mrs: STEVENS'S', in Great Quebec-street; where her seducer occasionally visited her, as a relation. %lie pad for her accommodation for some time, but at length deserted her, when a young man named visited and paid his addresses to her, the Lady of the house supposed for honourable purposes. She went away with him for the purpose, as she stated, of being married, and to live in one of the cottages in the Regent's Park.' Some time after, one of Mrs. S's. lodgers, a Mrs. THonNE, returned to town., and-found that her .box had been plundered of sundry. Valuable , articles, which were traced to where 11 7- =-:-- and ANN DAVIS were living together. The poor girl, from tenderness to the fellow, took all tle blame on herself, and he was so brutally callous as not only to allow the charge to remain on the pcior girl, but even to visit her in Newgate,- and, get from her a valuable shawl, which he said he wanted toi pain to pay for his' lodgings. I relieved the poor girl, and .wrote to a relation , of W—, a Mr. LEviNE, 33, York-street, Portman-square, where his mother lived, who called on me ; as also did Mrs. THORNE, the reludant prosecutrix, Et.A MrS.,STEMENS, to avoid forfeiting their re cognizances, as they did not wish to appear against the unfortunate girl, whom they srected and loved, and_ conceived to be the dupe of she was, in the first instance, of Such was the feeling excited in \her be half, that two charitable ladies, on her being dis-; charged from Newgate, took tier away "in their carriage. Should this meet the eye of her dis tressed parents,' and they call upon me, I will send a person with them to a place where they may probably hear some satisfactory tidings of her:—Relying on your feelings of humanity to in sert this communication, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, 10, Btidge.atreet, Aug. 2.

MARRIAGE LlCENSES.—Surrogates and others: to whom applications may be made for - the grant of Licenses of Marriage s are requested to .oh serve that, by the new Marriage Act, which re- , Ceived the Royal Assent on the'22ll July last, it is enacted, ce That no person shall, from and after the passing of this act, he deemed authorized by law to grant any license for the solemniza tion of any - marriage except the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, according to the rights ;tow Nested in thetn respectively,and except the several other Bishops within their respective dioceses, for the marriage of persons, one of whom shall: be resident at the time within the. diocese of . the Bishop in whose name such license shall be granted." This caution is deemed the more neces sary, as a wrong notion prevails, ,that norte of the provisions of the new Marriage Act take :effect till after the Ist day of September next, whereas -the above important restriction took effect.from and after the nd day.of July last. Iron Railway between , Liverpool and Man chester.—For several years past an undertaking of this sort has, at different times,"been the sub ject of consideration ; but there has not hitherto been a sufficient combination of interest or property engaged in favoJr of the plan to admit .of. its being commenced. We understand, however, that the, attention of a' great number of• the trading merchants, both in Liverpool and . Man chester, has recently been tultnd to the subject, and that a variety of calculations have been 'trade to show-the great public advantage which may be expected, to accrue from the undertaking lieinz carried into effect. The result, it is probable, will be, that public meetings of-the inhabitants of this town and Manchester will speedily be called to consider of the scheme, and that early applica tion will he made to Parliament, for the powers requisite to carry it into effect. It is, perhaps, scarcely-necessary to add, that the use of steam carriages is contemplated.—(Liverpool Go4rier) ,W,ILIOW WELCH'S FEMALE. 43.,,1 L ,..1,,,,5 . ~-, 4 ,„ have obtained the sanction and approbation of u d valuable Necl°l tbe Medical Profession, a s s s s a nd relieving o!lier "iurivt"? iu removing obstruet i n l e °- fra'ine•is liable, especially 1 1"st! ‘4''',ces to which want of,' lc h at an - early period fem o a b f i i i l t i yfeofrequently system. ase They create an',_treise, and g r , giddiness and general dd' debility remove . • d dis neli.ol,, CeP..p,etite,. correct "1 e ' m g inently useful in w i ' I d n p y a 1p i - Ztclieur,, p ain ' s , ' irl eh tr , aid stomach,are shortness of breath, a 4 Po n r s • O a f 14 he:l- le t 4t 4:, 11 ., - lers are requested to rema!kv ' siuned with the that as a testimony of il arue 4cnY, each Bill of Directions is b c if ' s i n aryi l et ~..f . ‘titing ol d Retail, in London; by Wright, i,` ) . 46, pi ._ ns Fleet Ni n k et; New tpy 4 ,eet-street ; Barclay and ttlbriAreVySaordns, St.s Paul's Church so Yard; o Sutton and Co.
