FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA TIC GOUT, TIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now for the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Feeling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the eom mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow-creatures, and of duty towards himself. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to adopt this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him self of a very obstinate ea, of inflammatory gout of thirty years' standing, and although on that occasion he had been confined to his bed-room for two months, he was enabled to walk two miles within six hours after the application. Since that period thousands, from the noble to the peasa n t, have been cured by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has lover been known to fail in cif cling a cure, where the proprie tor's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary efficacy has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen of distinguished eminence, «ho declare it to be the greatest discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with which it may be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and timid patient, and in the certainty of its 'being a sound, safe, and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all their terrible and ag , nizing forms. Original testimonials in confirmation are hi the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3, Friday-street, for the iti,pecl ion 'of those who may wish to satisfy themselves on the •sulject.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish called eci sa pulmonarytdtperralleslßut isuspected. exclusive stoe origind hconsumption,as been heart the disease, ind alg eh t e a e b e i s n , certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently*who holds temporar i ly, at least the relation and res p ons ibili ty o f a parent, w il l, by perusing this work, be directed, and very muc h ass i s t e d in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his puppirolspearretsimuree.

THE VESTA PATENT STOVE, 70s. plain. That a Madeira climate in England may be produced by the VESTA STOVE, plants of the most tender kind requiring warmth have provNl ; in sick rooms it has been found invalu able, producing one even degree of temperature throughout the day and night. The Vesta Stove has no doors, and as there is not any fire in c ontact with the outer case, warmth is ob tained without any of the unpleasant effects complained of in the use of others. The fire can be kept alight the whole season, and the part contait.in_z the fire is not open during the time it is replenished with fuel. Ihe fuel passes from the Hod into the Stove without. being seen, preventing entirely any escape of the noxious vapours, and that annoyance from dust which, in feeding other stores, arises from Vie fuel being removed from the Hod into the Stove, or what is worse, into a funnel to convey it into the st , ve. The ashes are removed without causing any dirt or dust no raking out, with portable rakers, or the hands, being necessary ; Lnd daring their removal from the interior of the Stove they are not visible. The cost for fuel (cinders, coke, or Welch coal) will be about twopence for twenty-four hours, duritg which time the stove will not require attention. The VESTA STOVES are perfectly free from all liability to explosions and such unpleasant consequences as have been met with in the use of Arnott's. A variety of sizes and patterns are made with ascending and descending flues, in iron and earthenware, suitable for warming apartments of every descrip tion, Churches, Ships' Cabins, &C. The Stoves may he seen in use at RIPPON and BURTON'S Warehouses, Wells-street, Oxford-street.

(From Blackstone.—Book 1, cap. 3 and 4 ) The great fundamental maxim upon which the jus corona, or right of succession to the throne of these kingdoms depends, I take to be this: " that the Crown I is, by common, hereditary. and this, in a manner peculiar to itself ; but that the right of inheritance may, from time to time, be changed or limited 14 Act of Parlia ment, under which limitations the Crown.still continues hereditary. . . . As to the particular mode of inheritance, it in general corresponds with the feodal descents chalked out by the common law, in the succession to landed estates ; yet, with one or two material exceptions, like estates, the Crown will descend lineally to the issue of the reigning Monarch, as it did from King John to Richard the Second, through a regular pedigree of six lineal generations, as in com mon descents the preference of males to females, and the right of primogeniture among the males are strictly ad hered to. Thus Edward the Fifth succeeded to the t Crown in preference to Richard, his younger brother, and Elizabeth, his eldest sister. Like lands or tene ments, the Crown, on failure of the male line, descends to the issue of female, according to the ancient British custom remarked by Tacitus : soknt fwininaruni ductu bellare, et sexutn in inzperiis non discernare. Thus Mary the First succeeded to Edward the Sixth. And the line of Margaret, Queen of Scots, the daughter of Henry the Seventh, succeeded on failure of the line of Henry the Eighth, his son. But, among the females, the Crown descended by right of primogeni ture to the eldest daughter only and her issue ; and not, as in common inheritance, to all the daughters at opce ; the evident necessity of a sole succession to the Throne having occasioned the Royal law of descent to depart from the common law in this respect ; and, therefore, Queen Mary, on the death of her brother, succeeded to the Crown alone, and not in partnership with her sister Elizabeth. Again, the doctrine of re presentation prevails in the descent of the Crown as it does in other inheritances ; whereby the lineal descen dants of any person deceased stand in the same place as their ancestor, if living, would have done. Thus Richard the Second succeeded the grandfather, Ed ward the Third, in right of his father, the Black Prince, to the exclusion of all his uncles, his grandfather's younger children. Lastly, on the failure of lineal descendants, the Crown goes to the next collateral relations of the late King, provided they are lineally descended from the blood Royal—that is, from that Royal stock which ori ginally acquired the Crown. Thus Henry I. succeeded to William 11., John to Richard 1., and James to Eliza beth, being all derived from the Conqueror, who was then the only regal stock. But herein there is no ob jection, as in the case of common descents, to the suc cession of a brother, an uncle, or other collateral rela tion of the half blood ; that is, where relationship pro ceeds, not from the same couple of ancestors (which constitute a kinsman of the whole blood), but from a single ancestor only ; as when two persons are derived from the same father, and not from the same mother, or vice versa ; provided only that the one ancestor from whom both are descended be that from whose veins the blood royal is communicated to each. Thus Mary I. inhesited to Edward VI., and Elizabeth inherited to Mary ; all children of the same father, Henry VIII., but all by different mothers. TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., AND THE REPEALERS OF IRELAND. 77': (From the Leeds Times of Saturday.) 1 IBRETHREN,—Tbe deep interest which we fed in the prosperity and good government of Ireland, and in the improvement of the condition of her people, induce us thus publicly to address you on the present occasion. There is every reason why the people of England and Iroland should fully know each others sentiments, and cultivate a feeling of mutual friendship and good will. We arc subjects of the same State ; our interests are twin interests ; we prosper and suffer, we wax and wane together. Science is day by day annihilating the space which se parates your land from ours, and is bringing us into closer and friendlier contact. Thanks to the progress of the arts of peace, England and Ireland are now enabled almost to shake hands with each other ; our steam in ventions have cast a floating bridge across the Irish Channel, which is traversed by hundreds and thousands of our respective peoples. Civilization is removing those prejudices of places, of creed, of sect, and of country, which have too long caused divisions and enmities between us. Knowledge now sheds its light into the minds even of the humblest, enabling the people of both countries to exercise that power which arises from union and co-operation, and in which civilization itself consists. Religion and morality also tend to -unite us; for-are we not brethren, Members of the one great human family, and children of the same common Parent and Father ? I Science, civilization, knowledge, and religion—those mighty agencies which have made man the great being that he is—contribute therefore to draw us into closer and friendlier union with each other. To oppose their influence, by sowing abroad the seeds of national dissen sion and distrust, would be base and impious. We trust that the time when separation could be either useful or practicable, is happily gone by—that already i have civilizing influences so far joined and amalgamated us, that we cannot be aliens and enemies to each other, even if we would. We confess that we look upon your present political movement with the deepest possible interest. We re spect you not the less that you loudly demand for your selves the privileges of freemen, and ask to be placed on a footing of equality, in respect to civil rights, with the people of England and Scotland ; though we have many and most serious doubts as to whether the en franchisement of the whole is in reality to be obtained through that separation and disuniting of the countries to which your efforts are now so strenuously devoted. We fully recognise the right of every people to agi tate for that constitution and form of government which they consider as the most suited to the attainment of the great end of national happiness and prosperity. Deeply indeed do we deplore that the oppressive treat ment of Ireland should have furnished the Irish people with so many cogent reasons for seeking to be freed from the influence of British Government. Our sur prise is not at your restlessness and impatience under such a Government, but rather at the long-suffering of the mass of the Irish people, and their submissiveness to the bard lot to which centuries of misgovernment have doomed them. But we would calmly and seriously ask you to pause yet a while ere you commit yourselves to a course of policy which may alienate from you the aid and the sym- 1 pathics of the great mass of the English' and Scotch Reformers. We would entreat you to hesitate before you involve yourselves and us in a contest which, by - creating disunion and dissension, threatens our common cause with ruin, discomfiture, and defeat. Let us try rather whether there be not some common ground of union on which to combine the popular strength, and make an united effort on behalf of political freedom and national improvement and regeneration. How then does the matter stand oith us ? You complain, and with reason, of the grievous incubus of a State Church, which is that only of a fraction of the Irish people. We, too, are burdened with a State Church, which, as now constituted, is inimical Co na tional improvement, a drag upon the progress of so ciety, and the stronghold and defence of the abuses and corruptions of aristocratic Government. Here, then, we have the same matter of complaint, and a similar reason for demanding reform and improvement. You protest, and with equal reason, against the glaring injustice done to Ireland by the Irish Union Act, in respect of the unproportionable number of seats allotted to it, as well as against the gross inequality in the representation of Ireland, as compared with the other portions of the United—Kingdom. We-also pro-. test against the same inequality of representation—an 1 inquality which places Leeds on the same footing with I Harwich and Richmond, and gives the West Riding of York no greater share in the representation of the country than the counties of Rutland and Huntingdon. Here, again, then we have equal ground for com plaint, and equal reason for demanding reform and im provement. But we need not enumerate to you the evils, which now bear with equal weight upon the people of Eng land, Scotland, and Ireland. t The corrupt influences of bad government have made themselves felt in all quar ters, and among the industrious classes, of all kinds and orders. The trading and commercial classes, the agri cultural and manufacturing classes, the middle and ope rative classes, in all parts of the United Kingdom, now suffer alike from aristocratic and irresponsible go vernment. How innumerable are the drains upon the industry of the people which have been established, and are now kept up by a ruling class, which, from the fact of being possessed of exclusive and irresponsible power, has no interest in good government, but the reverse, and which exists only by converting the persons and properties of the community into tools, to be used for their own selfish ends and purposes ! The shameful waste of public money on needless places, pensions, and sinecures ; the extravagance in all the departments of government ; the sustenance of immense war establish ments in time of peace, and the wanton squandering of life and property in time of war, affect alike the people of all portions of the empire, and loudly call for a radi cal and searching reform. We are suffering then from a common evil, and are victims of the same common oppression and misrule. Is there no common remedy for us ? Can we not make common cause in resistance to the great tyranny which is alike rolling over us all ? Yes ! There is such a re medy, there is such a cause—in which the Reformers of England, Scotland, and Ireland can cordially joie, for the amelioration of the condition of the people, and for the accomplishment of equal justice to all portions of the United Kingdom ; and that is—REFoRm IN THE REPRESENTATION of THE PEOPLE IN PARLIAMENT. In order that a Government should act in consistence with the wishes of the people, framing its laws and en actments with a view to the general happiness, it is ne cessary that Government should be responsible to the great mass of the people. Whatever form the Execu cutive Government may assume, it is at least indispen sable that the power which controls its acts should lie in the hands of those whose only interest is in using it so as to increase the general well-being ; in short, that the people should snake the Government; and that to the people the Government should be res ponsible for all its acts. The Reform Bill was an important step towards the ac complishment of this most desirable object ; but, need we say how greatly its working has fallen short of the expec tations of those who framed, supported, and triumphantly carried it. It has done little or nothing for the great mass of the people of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and has left the working classes as much unrepresented in the British Legislature, as at any former period. The bri bery, corruption, and intimidation practised at elections ; the shamefully unequal division of the electoral districts ; the obstructions thrown in the way of the registration of voters ; have contributed to render the representa tion conferred by the Reform Bill, in too large a pro portion of instances, a sham, a delusion, and a mockery. The time we consider has now fully arrived for ac complishing another great step towards responsible and representative government. There is every considera tion at present to urge the masses to a movement in fa vour of progressive reform and improvement. The hoof of Toryism again threatens to plant itself on the neck of the British people, and the abettors of arbitrary govern ment are again at the very threshold of power. Reform has come to a dead stand, and we are even now being " GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. driven helpless into the hated policy of past Govern " NOTICE.—The public are informed, that after Sa- meets. turday the 14th instant, and until further notice, the 12 It is therefore full time that the people were bestirring 15 pot. train from Liverpool and M anchester, and the t hemselves,• and endeavouring again to rally their 2 15 p.m. train from Birmingham , will be discontinued. stren g th in resistance to the common enemy, and to carry "By order of the Directors. forward the cause of popular liberty.

The Prince (Fr o o f m W the Wales, or same—Cap. heir. 4.) apparent to the Crown, and also his Royal Consort, and the Princess Royal, or eldest daughter of the King, are likewise peculiarly regarded by the laws. For by the statute 25th Edward 111., to compass or conspire the death of the former, or to violate the chastity of either of the latter, are as much high treason as to conspire the death of the King, or violate the chastity of the Queen. And this upon the same reason as was before given : because the Prince of Wales is next in succession to the Crown, and to violate his wife might taint the blood royal with bastardy ; and the eldest daughter of the King is also alone inheritable to the Crown on the failure of issue male, and therefore more respected by the laws than any of her younger sisters ; insomuch that upon this, united with other (feudal) principles, while our military tenures were in force, the King might levy an aid for marrying his eldest daughter, and her only. ROYAL ACCOUCHEMENT. The following anecdote connected with the birth and infancy of Geor e 111. is related by his biographer. It marnot s applicability at the present tiOte :—" The Kin was a seven months' child, and Worn that circumstance so weakly at the period of his birth that certain apprehensions were entertained that it would be impossible to rear him. It was in conse quence thought advisable to waive the strict etiquette hitherto maintained of having for the Royal infant a nobly descended nurse, in favour of one of the middle ranks of life—the fine, healthy, It-ash-coloured wife of a gardener, probably the head gardener of one of the palaces. This person, besides the recommendation of an excellent constitution and much experimental skill, characterised by qualities which so endeared her to the King, that his attachment towards her never during her existence experienced the slightest di minution. She possessed great quickness of feeling, much goodness of heart, with a disposi tion both disinterested and candid. The two former of these qualities appear to have instantly opened her affec tions to the nursling offered to her care, not, however, from pride at the idea of its being a babe of Royal blood, but from the maternal kindness excited while contem plating the delicate little being whose frail tenure on life she was confident, under her :management, would become strong and permanent. These feelings caused her, at the first proposal, cheerfully to undertake the anxious charge ; but when it was made known to her that, according to the Court etiquette, the Royal infant could not ba allowed to sleep with her, from an etiquette so cold, and in the pre sent case so likely, in her opinion, to prove preju dicial, she instantly revolted, and in terms both warm and blunt thus expressed herself :—' Not sleep with me ! Then you may nurse the boy yourselves.' To no compromise, or rather reasoning, offered would she listen, but continued resolutely to refuse to take charge of the Royal infant if bound to observe a cere mony which no argument could make her think other wise than alike unnatural and unhealthy. This refusal of an office which many persons would have been am bitious of filling under any restrictions whatever, upon motives, too, so purely disinterested, convinced those with whom she was in debate of her conscientious belief, that unless the infant Prince were entrusted to her sole management, she must, in accepting the charge, engage to act in opposition to her own judgment, and thus sacrifice what she considered her duty to him. Influenced by this conviction, they properly represented the affair to the powers by whom they were employed, in consequence of whibh the point of Court ceremony was conceded to her." MONOPOLIES OF RAILWAYS. Messrs. Pickford, the carriers, have moved the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus against the Grand Junction Railway Company, commanding them to convey their goods at the same rates and times as they convey the goods of other parties, in conformity with a clause in the Railway Act prohibiting favouritism in the conveyance of either goods or passengers. In this proceeding the public have a deep interest. Messrs. Pickford's complaint, however, is only an item in the list of grievances, and re fear that there is much to be done which cannot be effected without legislative enactment. The powers with which these railroad com panies have been vested are so immense, that their misuse (and; there is no restriction against misuse) may cause a complete stoppage of all commercial inter course. We instance the Grand Junction line as one on which, instead of the public being accommodated in proportion as the Company profits by them, they are daily deprived of some advantage according as the an nual dividend becomes greater and greater. Only a few weeks back the fares were raised ; and this week, as we see by an advertisement, we have been deprived of another and a most important advantage.

A ns wer.--it We must erect a Ba s tik; ia, well con- . puted, doth (almost double the effect opined money ; and we have in England material „lora Bank which would furta stock enough to drive the trade of the whole commercial woild."—Sir W. Petty's " Quautu• lumcunque," 1682.* Sin,—Being about to offer a few remarks on a para graph which appeared in your Journal of the 27th ult., I think it will be as well, in the first instance, to quote it, in order to bring it better to the recollection of your readers. , " While the population and wealth of the country have been increasing at a very rapid rate, the capital of the Bank of England has been stationary. To make it relatively of as much national importance as it was thirty years ago, independently of the economical use of money, which renders bank-notes less in demand, its capital ought at least to have doubled, whereas a large portion of it has been locked up in securities that arc not immediately available ; and the whole sum haS not been increased. To make its circulation now of as muck relative importance to the nation as it was thirty years ago, it ought to be at least sixty millions, whereas it is not seventeen." I am now about to show that the present issues of the Bank of England—say, for the sake of argument, seventeen millions—are fully equal to what sixty mil lions would be, supposing the same circumstances to exist now, as regards monetary affairs, as did thirty years since, and our trade trebled to what it was then. In the year 1810, or thirty years since, the currency was nearly depreciated twenty-five per cent. I ssCv nearly, for the price of gold had not reached 51.3 s 10d . . which would have shown a depreciation to that amount. A year or two after, it not only reached, but exceeded that rate of depreciation ; but, for the sake of am:- moot, we will take the depreciation at twenty-five per cent. In order to compare seventeen millions of money at the present day with the currency so depreciated, we must add a sum equal to one-third of that amount (viz. 5,666,6661. 13s. 4d.), which will show that 22,666,666/. 13s. 4d., is but equal to the seventeen mil lions now. Depreciation merely adds to the tale of money without increasing value. Money is but a mea sure as a weight ; the alteration of the standard of money has the same effect as alteration of the standard of any measure of ponderosity, capacity, or extension. Supposing that the books of the Customs had shown on the day of the imperial gallon first coming into us , that there were 5,000,000 of gallons of wine in bow; would the Lords of the Treasury have instituted an in quiry what had become of one million gallons, be.- cause the books had shown 6,000,000 to have bee: , in bond the day before ? This principle will show why the currency appeared to be contracted after the resumption of cash pay ments, and it is not a little singular that all the writers on " the contraction. of the currency" were satisfied with comparing numbers together, without comparing relative values. Another circumstance has not been duly taken into consideration, if even notice—viz., the shortening of the terms of commercial credits. Thirty years since,six, nine,twelve,eighteen, twenty-fotit months' credits ,were usual and common—two months' credits were the exceptions. I believe it will be found now rather to be reversed, that the short credits are the rule, and the .long ones the_ exceptions... As this point. will a chief one in my argument, it will require to be dwelt - upon and illustrated. Supposing, for instance, that the general average of commercial credits one year were to be six months, and that it required fifty millions circulating credits, viz., treoferable debts, usually called paper money, to effect the various changes of commerce, and that the mer chants the next year shortened their credits to three months, it is evident that twenty-five millions of such paper-money would give equal facilities to commerce that the fifty millions did the year previous. To follow up my argument, I suppose that credits have been re duced one half, and our trade doubled to what it was thirty years since (havin g previously s h own th a t t I le • 17,000,0001. of the Bank of England issues is equal to 22,666,6661. 13s. 4d.), I contend that the seventeen millions would be equal to the depreciated sum doubled, viz., 45,333,3331. 6s. Bd. And again, if we proceed and find that the credits of trade, on the average a; - e reduced two-thirds to what they were thirty years since, and that the trade of the country is trebled, it is contended that the seventeen millions would be equal to the depreciated sum (22,666,666/. 13s. 4d.) trebled, viz., SIXTY-EIGHT MILLIONS, had we the depreciated currency now that we had thirty years since, with ave rage credits reduced two-thirds, and the trade of the country trebled. I will venture to assert that with the present apparent small sum of Bank issues, as compared with those thirty years since, it the Bank of England books could he examined, that taking the gross amount of mercantile accommodations for the whole of last year, and adding one-third to make such sum equal to a twenty-five per cent. depreciation, that the mercantile accommodation by the Bank would be found to be three times what it was in an year when gold was 51. 3s. 10d. per ounce. At this particular time I consider that the point which I have broached, viz., how far the shortening or lengthening the terms of credits has an effect on a given amount of currency, worthy of the deepest considera tion, as the chief argument in support of a single bank of issue has been that the currency, being in the hands of one party, can be kept stationary, or only to vary as the deposits of bullion are increased or diminished ; if it can be positively demonstrated that by merchants re ducing the terms of credit, a given amount of currency • may be as effectively increased as by credits remaining the same and the amount of currency increased, pretensions of one bank of issue with a given amount of currency must have a steadiness in principle about equal to the steadiness of the wind. The following hypo thetical case will show in what manner a reducing of credits would act : Banker A. issues his notes in dis counts of two months' bills to the amount of 20,000/.,—these notes supposed to be returned for the payment at two months' end, when they may be re-issued to the like amount ; this amount, turned six times in the year will show a gross annual return of trt: oeti with hr3n2ooo, year,O 0, 0 w 0 £120,003 0 0 Banker B. discounts bills at three turnedill s m ii o oi vs t h sa s hfgoo t o rwuors t s h stti e hama a net m ns uA o ia u u.i months' bills will have as great anoo £l2 o ,ooo l a . n in u d a i i scounting ti o as i 3. with 30,000/. ; A. will have a great h er . profit than B. for each will have to pay a duty issues of 3s. 6d. per cent. is lieu of staomnp idsuatvieesrage have to pay on his average of 20,000/. a duty of :1;)1,, while B. will have on his 30,000/. the sum of 521. Ws., each making the same annual return ; B. will have to pay 50 per cent. more duty to the Government than A. But this point relative to the Government duties will not affect the Bank of England, as the Comp.:oY pays a given sum annually, so that a reduction of its average would not cause a reduction of duties. The Bank of England having announced that its accommodation in discounts will be limited to bills not having more than sixty-five days to run, p n should, as a matter of prudence, reduce the amount of its issues. If the same amount of issues be continuo.. I have little doubt that by the spring of 1842 we stratl see interest as low as two -an d - arenotesto turnedwhich willbe follow:;immenseamount bankers who kept the Bank Paper to meet the average return of their own notes , will not now require tlhc 'same amount in hand to do so.
