MHE CORDI,A.L . - BALM of GILEAD is. pecu liarly adapted to weak Fe:nitle Constitutions, as well as to phlegmatic habits in general ; itacts - powerfully as nervine, tint only to the weak stomach, bat to the whole nervous system ; corre;..ts t vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages; and assists wonderfully. in recovering the tone of thc.urinary and genital organs : hence its efficacy in the most obstinate semin a l com pl a i nts i n men, and cones. pointing weaknesses in women.' The name of this Medicine conveys an idea of its virtues: .It is requisite that it be soft, yieldng, and adhesive ; also, that it stay have a ready disp,sition to motion ; tbr, as Dr. Mutherb justly observes, " Medicines of this kind cannot be conveyed to the part required but by the coininon road of circulation ; therefore they shou!d be adinioistered in such a form as they inay.rtiost readily he. conveyed into the circula. atig.bt t4i• fur auiut: tivae , be fore the efteets can ha perceived." _ From the foreeeing observations, the propriety of a liquid • form for the administration of such remedies, in preference • in any other, is obvious t and this Cordial Balm of Gilead (which is Perfectly-elegant in resped to smell, taste, and ap . pearaece) will he found to possess all the genuine qualities of analeptic, for, - be Sides the nutritious quality of a restora tive, it has a fragrant, subtle, oleous principle, which imme diately attela the nerves and gives a kind of friendly motion to the finias,'-yiklding plenty ofanimal heat, the true source of firmness and vigour. . T he train of inelaocholy disorderswhich afflid the human , . 'frame, under the denOinination of Nervous Diseases, are the principal sources of human misery in the privation of health. These disorders proceed 'from such an infinite variety and complication of causes, `as to render it impossible, if even, it were necessary, to trace them to their true source. The et. feds, however, are but too well known; and too severely telt amongst too great a portion of mankind; and to these elPets it may, without exaggeration, be asserted, that any IteMedy more superior or celebrated for efficacy than Dr. Solomon's Cordial Balm -of Gilead never ha's been discoVered. Numerous ' cases have from tune to tirnebeen published in every News. paper in tile Kingdom,. for the encouragement of the a ffl i ct e d to use and persevere in a Medicine which so eminently affOrds a complete cure in all casts of debility. An opinion prevails that nervous disease; are at present rrforeconimon in Europe, than at any - former period, and is chiefly attributed to excess of indulgencies practised in these times of refinement and luxury. It is certainly true, that the farther we depart from simplicity and temperance in diet, and the more we sacrifice . wholesome exercises to the in adiiity attending domestic amusements, the greater will be the influence of every physical error in diminishing the vigour of the,constitution. Diseases of the nerves are inci dent to both sexes, with only this difference, that, in the female, from the natural delicacy of Cpnstitution and the softer manner of life, they are in general most frequent arid violent. Weakness of the nervous systermis often, alas ! too often, 'occasioned by irregularities in one sex, and sensual excesses in, the other, which the Cordial Balm of Gil e ad i s the most effedual remedy to rerhove. , It is ;-rtorious that various disorders of . the human frame I are. brought on by dissipation•in youth, - and the gross.viola tion of those rules Which prudence dictates for the proserva s • lion Of health, and lifying a foundation for a long and happy life, with a firm and strong Constitution.

THURSDAY, TniExchequer Bills Bill was read a. third iitie and M assed, and a Message ordered to.. be "sent to the Comm Ons to acquaint them therewith. The .West Riding of Yorkshire Court Houses was read - a second time, and cunnuitted for -to morrow; • IMP EACHMENTWITNESSES' IND CMNITy The Ord& of the Day having been read for the at tendance of the Judges (who were all present), to give their anVvers to the three questions referred to them, the first and second of which went to inquire whether, according to law, a witness ct,lnid demur to answer a question, the answer -to which might ren der him liable to an aaion for debt, or to it suit for the recovery of the profits of public money ? and the. third, to ascertain whether a witness who, on making fulfand . fair disclosure, was to be excused from cer tain debts, could nOt be legally 'objected to, on the ground of his being interested ? Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD delivered the opi nion of the Judges,. which, with respe& to the first two questions, would, , , he said, .he' feared leave their Lordships in nearly the same stale of doubt in which they were before, although his Learned Brethren and himself had devoted as -intieh attention to their con sideration as the time allotted, for the purpose would allow. The Judges were, however, upon those two questions, which they considered to be resolved into One, divided in opinion. Those who were of opinion that a witness in suc h a case cou ld not demur, might be prepared to give a decisive answer to that effed, but with respe& to those who were of a contrary opinion, that opinion was qualified by a great -num ber of exceptions, which it was not their province to descant upon under the general terms of the questions, and which, indeed, it would, be scarcely poSsible for them, under a general question, to give a decided opinion upon. With respe& to the third question, they were,unanimously of opinion, that a witness. in the situation described, could not be repelled on the ground of being interested, as whatever was offered, on condition of his making a full and fair disclosure, could legally make no difference with respe& to his evidence,' lie being bound by his 'oath, by hiw, mo raliv, and honour, to declare the truth, the whole truth, and nothing bat the truth. J Lord -A UC LA ND expressed his disappointment at the opinion he had just heard from the Judges, which be had expe&ed would have been decisive one way or the other. In order, however, to obtain :a n might perhaps be all that wouict be necessary, with, reference to the 131„11, be begged . leave to propose another qu e sti on , Wh et h er , accord ing to law, any Officer, or Agent employed under any Officer, entrusted with the application of public money,, could demur to answer to any question re lative to the matter in issue, the answer to which niight render him liable to any suit respeding the application of such money This question, how ever, he was very willing to withdraw, if any other Noble Letrd suggested a better mode of attaining the same objet. It being suggested by the Clerk that the answers of the Judges .should be delivered in - writing, .they f were accordingly delivered. The answer to the third question was similar to that given by Lord Mans ; field. The answer to the other two questions stated, they were so general in their nature that the Judges . could not give a satisfadory answer. • , Lord ELDON . said, it would be in the recollec tion of their Lordships that he had expressed his I. doubts whether they would derive much information from the opinion of the Judges upon such questions. The great difficulty with respect to framing more specific questions was, that they could not do so without going into the -merits of the ease to come. • bet - ore them by impeachment, and upon which they I ought to preserve their minds clear from all previous opinion npon the subject until they came before them regularly in evidence. Lord HOLLAND protested against the opinion given by the Judges upon the first two questions, as one which, in, its tenden c y, wa s unconst i tut i onal, He' did not conceive that it rested with the Learned Judges to say, that a question referred to them was too general to allow them to give a satisfattory an swer--they were, on the contrary, to give a specific answer when their Lordships-required, respeding any general or abstrad 'point of law, the informatioa contained in which the House might afterwards ap ' ply. according to the lex et consuetudo Parliamenti. But that that House, in order to obtain a specific answer on a paint oflaw, must put an individual case instead of a general questiOn; Was a pra&ice which" he conceived to be wholly unsandioned by the usage. of Parliament, and which was opposite to the prin. , ciples of the Constitution, inasmuch as if such a prac tice, was to prevail the House would be referring'ques tions to the Judges, the answer to which would involve • whatottaht to betheir Lordships' proceedings upon an 7, 'specific paint before them. This he must decisively protest against, and it was in this point of view that' he felt himself under the necessity of objeding•to Ole question proposed by the,Noble'Lord (Auckland), although, it it was prgssed, he would not oppose it, but he objected to itoon the ground of its being too pecifie. He coticeivel that the House had a right to an. answer from the Learned Judges upon any, ab strad point of law, respeding which they required' information, and that such answer should be in the affirmative or negative..
