Tne Specifie Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body,. expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mos sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral. and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventative, by 'moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful: debilities arising from the too free and indise criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a.numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily sensee, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause. by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, sale, and speedy restoration to sound 'and vigorous health., PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated - sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, .scrofula, scorbutic aril glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all, diseases arisiug from an impure state of the blood.

He condemned it, as depriving the British-born subjects inhapit, ing the Mi,fussil country, or the provinces, of the right of app ea l to her Majesty's courts; and he moved f ori a select committee to inquire into the allegation's of the petition, and to report in what manner and to what extent it affected the rights of British born inhabitants of India, the prerogatives of the crown, and the interests of the united empire. Sir J. HouttousE resisted the motion, and ridiculed the pe tition. He declared that the "Black Act," as it wasnow called, was forgotten, except when revived by an occasional letter from Mr. Turton ; that instead of affecting all the inhabitants, it only concerned those in the Mofussil country or provinces; that the power of appeal had been used only twice in 23 years, when the judges were obliged to send back the cases for the law to be ex pounded by the company's court; and that had not the act, No. 11, been passed, the governor and council wcalld have been guilty of dereliction of duty: • The motion-was discussed at great length, several hon. mem bers speaking for and against it; but eventually it was withdrawn by the bon: mover.

The lemaining clauses, with the exception of those that had been deferred, were considered and, adopted with some verbal amendments, the committee after wards proceeding with the consideration of the postponed clauses, beginning at the 26th. The remainder of the sitting was chiefly occupied with the consideration of the bill. THEATRE R OYA L.—Last night the Theatre Royal opened. for the season, and we understand there was a very good house. Mr. Power, the well known actor of Irish characters, is engaged, and appears to night in the comedy of `' the Irish Ambassador," as Sir Patrick O'Plenipo, A. D. C. ; and afterwards in the farce of the " Omnibus," as Pat Rooney. A spirited season, so far as the engagement of "stars" of all magnitudes can .make it so, is promised on the part of the management. THE CAUSE Lisr.—There are 51 causes entered on the first or Salford list, which is extremely light, and no less than 125 on the West Derby list, which is unusually heavy. In the first list the causes as far as number 43 are got through, 8 only remaining to be tried, which it is7expected will be got through to day. So far. the Salford list has proved what the lawyers call an exceedingly " rotten" one: a number of the causes having fallen through, and many of them being of the m o st trumpery character. In the second list there are six special jury causes entered, and seven indictments against the chemical nuisances; all of which, if tried, will occupy much time. It is anticipated that the assizes will continue for three weeks. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOLS.—We perceive that the Rev. H. M`Neile will preach a sermon nn behalf of these schools on Thursdayeverntil next.

LATEST FROM BUENOS AYRES.—ACCOUnts were yell lerday received in Liverpool from Valparaiso via Buenos Ayres, of the refusal on the part of the Chilian government to ratify the treaty of peace between that republic and Santa Cruz. The Chilians are understood to have been very much annoyed at the ignominious termination of the wkr, af ter all their blustering; but iris su'pposed that they will ultimately have to agree to, the treaty. The British minister at Bueno4 AYies bad been re quested by Santa Cruz to use his influence in negotiat ing a peace between Peru and Buenos Ayres. THE CORN LAWS.—The Mercury of Friday last has devoted-a column to the discussion of this subject. The ,article is one of those special originals, to which we are occasionally treated in grandpapa's journal, of which it is difficult to say anything in the way of criticism.- The absurdities concentrated within the compass of the arti cle are so numerous, that we should have left it to sink into oblivion by the force of its innate dulness, had not the editor of the Mercury ventured to cavil at the logic of, the Standard, and to pronounce'our arguments on the subject of the repeal of the corn laws as false positions dogmatically asserted. We shall shortly prove that the Mercury displays the most superlative ignorance on the subject—that it seeks to delude its readers by partial statements and distortion of facts—and that it is as de ficient in logic as it is in common sense or honesty of inciple. All the radical journals, in common with the Mercury, while descanting upon the presumed benefits which are associated with a repeal of the corn-laws, take especial care to avoid every semblance of reasoning on the sub ject, but deal exclusively in vague generalities, confident assertions, and declamatory appeals to the prejudices of the " people." This renders it difficult to reply to any article on the subject with which we meet, in the columns of our liberal contemporaries. Thus the Mercury la ments the indifference of the people on the subject of the repeal of these laws, and attributes that indifference either to " an imperfect acquaintance with the baneful operation" of those laws, or to " a sullen conviction that it is useless to address their petitions to an assembly who have a direct interest in the perpetuation of a monopoly most injurious to the general prosperity." After such strong language as this one might reasonably, expect that the editor of the Mercury would endeavour to prove • that. the corn laws were " baneful in their operation." and that they " perpetuated a monopoly most injurious to the general prosperity." He, however, does nothing of the kind. An v attempt to do so would have only ex posed still further his consummate ignorance. Again, the Mercury observes that the tax upon corn is one which " bears incomparably heavier upon the poor and laborious classes than upon the rich and inactive part or the community." This can only be true in the sense that all taxes indiscriminately must bear heaviest upon those who are in the worst condition to meet them. But it is an utter falsehood to assert that this is " a tax, which, whilst it grievously enhances the price of bread to labourers and manufacturers, at the same time, by crippling our trade and manufactures, diminishes their means of purchasing the staff of life." We say that this is a plain untruth. It is sheer humbug to say that the labourer would be in a better condition if the price of bread were much loner. He certainly would expo rience the benefit of a reduction in the price of bread, if he could always command the same rate of wages; but where is the man that is such a tool as to maintain that the rate of wages would not be regulated by the price of corn ? The fact is, that cheap bread so far from being an advantage to the labourer; it is a serious evil. The testimony of all ages Will beer us out in this assertion. There was a time in the history of our own country when as much bread could be had for a shilling as can now be procured for twenty four shillings, or, in other words, when a good family loaf could be purchased for a penny. Those must surely, according to the theory of our radi cal philosophers, have been glorious days for the labour ing classes. They must have enjoyed, in a degree to which our present starveling race of Englishmen are total strangers, the blessing of abundance. Far from it. The period to which ive allude was one of unparal leled distress. The fare of the labourer was then much worse than it is at present, and for this simple reason, that the wages of a labouring man were then only a penny a day! Again, there was a period within the memory of the editor of the Mercury, when bread was thrice as clear as it is now. Surely that must have been a time of great suffering and privation to the poor labourer. Far from it. How could that be ? Wages were double what they are at present. _ _ We dwell the more particularly on this point because an attempt was made at the last election, and no doubt will be renewed hereafter, to delude the labouring classes, by raising the cry of " cheap bread." Our readers will remember that a large and a small loaf were carried on poles at the head of Ewart and Elphinstone's procession, to indicate that these gentlemen were willing that the poor should fare better than the conservatives wished them to do. With equal justice might our conservative friends have carried at the head of their procession two bags of money, one a small one, and the other a large one, to show that the radicals would diminish the amount of the wages of the labouring man, whilst the conserva tives wished to keep it up. But it may be urged that although a reduction in the price of corn might be followed by a diminished scale of wages, still the stimulus which the repeal of the corn laws would give to our manufacturing interests would make work more abundant, and render the labourer more comfortable in his circumstances. We deny this also. Even supposing that our " crippled trade and manufac tures" were free from the supposed disadvantage of hav ing to contend against the corn laws, the position of the labourer would be eventually much worse than it is un der the present system. Let us take it for granted that a repeal of the corn laws would be followed by ,a reduc tion of one-half in the price of Corn. is there a labour ing marl in Liverpool so stupidly blind as to imagine that his employer would not take advantage of the circum stance to lower his wages ? And it should be remem bered that, although corn might be procured for half the money it costs at present, other articles, especially those of foreign production, such as tea, coffee, tobacco, &c., would retain their present prices; so that the condition of the labouring man would be much worse than it is at present. But even on this point the advocates of the repeal of the corn laws are guilty 'of the greatest inconsistency. Mr. Poulett Thomson maintains that a change in the corn laws would occasion but little if any diminution of price. If such be the case, what becomes of the argu ment of those who Pay that the repeal of the corn laws is necessary in order to enable us to compete with the low price of labour on the continent ? Of course we deny that the corn laws have operated injuriously upon our foreign trade. On this point the Mercury quotes the following passage from Mr. Villiers' speech : . . . Mr. Villiers observed, that " his charge against the corn laws was, that they limited the foreign trade of this country; and his charge against the legislature was, that they were pursuing for the last twenty-five years, a course which was injurious to the manufacturers of England. Ile hoped the manufacturers would speak out on this occasion. In private the manufacturers had no hesitation in saying that the corn law was destroying their trade. He hoped, then, they would declare openly what was their candid opinion on this question; for they had now come to this point, that they must snake up their minds whe ther they would abandon their foreign trade or their corn law," Now, the official returns afford no justification what ever, of this language. These documents, to fact, tell us quite a different tale. They demonstrate that our fo reign trade can not only exist, but flourish and increase with unexampled prosperity, notwithstanding the exist ence of the corn laws. The official value of the manu factures and produce of the united kingdom, exported in the three years 1814, 1815, and 1816, was £116,867,034, being an average of £39,955,678 in each year. The official value of similar exports in the years 1834, 1835, was £237,438,119, bei n g , and 1836, an average of £79,146,039 in each year. Thus it' appears that in 1 twenty years, no twithstanding the operaiOn.of the corn laws, the quantity of our exports has more than doubled! But if we confine our observation to the . niost important branch of our manufactures, we shall find evidence of a still more conclusive nature to prove the fallacy and ab surdity of the positions advanced by Mr, Villiers, and echoed by the Liverpool Mercitry. The quantity of raw cotton used in spinning in 1817, .according to the estimate of Mr. Kennedy, was 110,000,000 lbs. In the year 1837, the quantity upon which duty was paid was 376,019,680 lbs. ! How does this bear out th e rigmarole of the,Mercury as to this " injuriousEronnpoly ?" On the other hand, we maintain that the repeal of the corn laws would be manifestly injurious to our manufac turing interests. This will be evident to every one who reflects for a moment upon the consequences which would result from the ruin of the landed interests. That our readers may form some idea of the, magnitude of these interests, and of the amount of property which would be placed in jeopardy by the abolition of that pro tection which is at present enjoyed by the British corn. grower, we will place before them the following statements from the statistical writings*, Mr. Montgo mery Martin : RSTIMATED WEALTH Or THE LANDED INTEREST. 3,0(X),(X)0 labourers dependant upon agriculture at 104. per week 250,000 farmers whose incomes average £'2oo cash yearly 30,000 landed proprietors, rental areraging.l:loo each yearly Amount of income annually dependent on agri culture ...- Per annum. 50,000.000 quarters of grain, raised annually in the United Kingdom, at 365. per quarter. £90,00,000 50,000,000 quarters of grain , requites for each quarter, 16s worth oftnanual labour to raise it 40,000,000 20,000,009 acres of tillage land, requires an outlay of £5 per acre yearly 100,000,000 2,000,000 of horses in the United Kingdom, ave raging £l2 10s. each 7.000,0tX) horned cattle averaging £6 I 0 s. each 45.000,000 32,000,000 sheep. averaging £1 Ils. 6d. . 50.000,000 Swine, poultry, game, &c., estimated at I 0 ,000,000 Total value of stock in the United Kingdom £139,000,000 20,000,000 acres of tillage land, fee simple at £4O per acre 800,000,000 40,000,000 acres of pasture land, do., at £3O per acre 1 2(11,000,000 10,000,000 acres of wood land, do. at £l5 per acre 150,000,000 10,000,000 acres of waste land, at £5 per acre.... 5(1,000,000 Fee simple of the land of the United KingdomE2,2oo,ooo,ooo The above, Mr. Martin remarks, is independent of mansion 4 on estates, of farm houses and buildings, and agricultural 1111 plements, the value of which, if taken into account, would of course be considerable. But there is another point in which the importance, of the, landed interest may be viewed—that Of tVlAitcit ItlBB, population. The population of the united kingdom, as before stated, may be taken at 26,000,000; and from the inquires of Mr. Martin, it has been satisfactorily ascertained that2o,o o oN° —nearly four-fifthi of the people—are dependent ou agricul ture. We may, therefore, will demand of what benefit it would be to the manufacturing interests to annihilate the the greater portion of our national wealth ? As the Mercury has ventured to sneer at " the politi cal economy of the statesman of the Crescent" we will afford him a few corroborative proofs of the soundness of that political economy. In support of our views we shall quote the three conservative papers of the largest circu lation out of London, each of them published in one of the principal manufacturing and commercial towns of the United Kingdom. From the Manchester Courier we extract the follow- ink : "But is there any reason to suppose, if our corn-laws were repealed, that foreign powers would remove the restrictions which they have imposed upon our manufactures? If the advo cates of repeal could produce some proof that a relaxation of our system would be followed by corresponding liberality on the part of foreign nations, they would be armed with - a much stronger argument in favour oft heir object; than is Wire found in the indulgence of vituperative attacks on the landed interest But no such proof is offered. The fact is, that foreign states are as anxious to encourage domestic manufactures as we are; and they adopt the usual means of encouraging near° enterprise. by imposing duties upon foreign produce. One of the most extraordinary passages in the speech of 114 r. Villiers is the following : 'che (British) manufacturer has only a protection of 20, er at most 30, per cent., whilst the landowner has a protection of 80; if not 100, per cent. The manufacturers . of Great Britain do not wish for protection; they repudiate the principle of im posing duties in order to give their productions an undue pre.; ference over those of other countries.' "It is laughable enough to see a person talking of a duty of 20 or 30 per cent., as a mere trifle,a proof that our manufacturers do not wish f o r protection. But the question is not whether the protecting duty be 10, 20, or 50 per cent.: but whether it be sufficient for the purpose. The fart _►hat the smallest of there duties is large enough to protect one branch of our trade is proof that it would be equally effsctive for the protection of sin tiler. It is a gross fallacy, however, to maintain that the land- , owner has a protection of 80 or 100 per cent. That it has been as high within the last two or three years is true; but under the very same law by which the duty has risen to lOU per rent., upon the market price, it has fallen as low as one shilling per quarter. The truth is, the British grower has tbe least protection from foreign competition at a period when, in consequence of the failure of his crops, he has the most need of it. But the legislature have taken care to ward the public from the effects , of those circumstances which are likely to raise the price of bread, by lowering the duty upon importation as the market ad- , vances. This is a fact which those philosophers who are con-: tinually complaining of the partiality of the legislature to the landed interest carefully keep out of view." In the Newcastle Journal we fincl the following "But what are the motives which induce these men to wage* war against the wealth, intelligence, and influence of the coun try? Our foreign trade, as may be seen by a reference to the tables of exports, has been steadily increasing for the last seven years; to America, our exports have been doubled within that period, whilst to Russia our exports have advanced front £1,800,000 to £2,300,000, and a similar improvement has taken place in all our exportations to corn-growing countries. Neither is this state of things attributable to or consequent upon a loge importation of corn; for it is proved by the same tables that in those years when our importation of corn has been greatest, our exportation of manufactured goods has been least—a fact which proves more satisfactorily than the most subtle reasonings of Mr. Villiers, or the philosophical disquisitions of Sir William Molesworth, that the existing corn laws do not act iajuriousiy on our foreign commerce. "But let us turn our attention to the effect of a repeal of the corn laws on the manufacturer and tradesman at home. It must be plain, that if the demand created by the consumption among twenty millions of people, which as we have shears east dependent on agriculture in this country, be abstracted from our home markets, our manufactures would be seriously inju red, if not wholly annihilated. Besides, from whence are our munufacturing population supplied ? /t is a fact which is proved by observation and experience, that the disposable po pulation of this country—those engaged in the cotton mills at Manchester, in the woollen factories at Leeds, and at the forges in Bi rininghain and Wolverhampton—are principally emigrants from the rural districts and country villages. And, indeed, the great mortality which atinnally takes place in the large manu facturing towns in the kingdom, renders such a source of keep. up the numbers an indispensable auxiliary to the system. How, then, could our manufactures be continued it our rural popula tion were driven from the country—to the plains of Poland or the wilds of Canada ? Free trade in corn would inevitably de stroy the capital of the country, by leaving the balance against us in all our dealings with corn-growing countries. from whence our largest importations would of course be made; and the re sult in a few years would be irretrievable ruin to our manufac turies, and all classes thereon dependent. Agriculture is in deed essential to the prosperity of the country, and whilst that important interest, in demanding what is granted to other branches of industry, and which is required event as an act of justice, is supported in the legislature, no apprehension of the success of the measures directed against it need be entertaised As the right artn of our national prosperity it shall always receive our fostering care and most zealous support." The last authority which we shall quote is the Leeds Intelligencer, in which we find the following re- marks : " The argument of the advocates for opening the port is, that the foreigner would lay out in manufactures the money he re ceived for corn : that, consequently, our trade would increase: and that, by getting his work done at lower wages, the home manufacturer would be able to put the foreign manufacturer out of his own market. To the working classes, as we have said, the bait of more work and cheap bread has been held out. "With regard to the first point, we think that the foreigner would. much oftener take his money borne than lay it out in England; and a portion of that money would soon be employed iu raising manufactures in countries where there are at present few or none arising from want of capital. "We are still more confident on the second point. Foreign Governments would take good care that their irt.fant manufac tures were not beaten down by the importation of English goods, for duties would be laid upon them in proportion to their cheap ness ; and thus we shoald receive no compensation whatever for the injury done to the home market by the ruin of the English agriculturist, and the '°heavy blow and great discouragement" inflicted upon the land-owner. " The question as regards the workpeople we have already disposed of. If bread were cheaper, wages would be lower, ant they would occupy the same relative position. "We are for no divided interests. " Live and let live," is et good motto. Englaud cannot afford to lose her agriculture any more than her manufactures and commerce. These thre papers were all published the very day after the . Mercury denounced the statements of the STANDARD as " absurdities." We can only asssere our venerable grand-papa that we shall always take a delight in sharing such a charge with such respectable journalists as the editors of the papers which vie have quoted. TESTMONI 41. OF ESTERM.—It is with much pleasure we. learn that the Rev.

The Bible was tiocompanicAt with that very excellent work by the Rev. S.

LOSS OF THE F.I.VIRA, INDIAMAN.—We regret to state, that this fine vessel, for Calcutta, which left this port on Friday last. in tow of a steam-boat, having on board a cargo estimated. we believe, at £BO.OOO, struck on the outward bar in the new chan nel, The captain and pilot then determined to return to Livers pool, but not having water to come back the way they went out, they bore up for the Horse Channel, and the passengers then returned to Liverpool on board the steamer which had towed ' out the Elvira. Notwithstanding every exertion to bring the vessel into port again, the water gained rapidly upon them, and at half-past five she was telegraphed in great distress near Spencer's Gut buoy. About this time she was seen by the Messrs. Atherton, of New Brighton, with a signal of (Pere". flying and sinking; and these gentlemen prnceeded, we %iaci! , stand, in their steam-boat, with as little delay as possible, to en , deavour to find the vessel and save the crew. After forge digt , culty, owing to the darkness of the night, they fell in with th e wreck on the West Wharf, the poop and masts only being above water. As it would have been 'dangerous, in consequence - or the heavy swell, to have laid the steant-boat alongside the wreck, the Pest-office mail boxes, ship's letter bags, seat:nen'. haminocks, some luggage and stores were transhipped in boa" without damage. Shortly afterwards, however, the water roll, breast high. in the poop and cabin, and all hands then left tall vessel and took refuge on board the steamer, and were safely landed next morning at Liverpool.
