This day published, by a Physician of fifteen years' practice in diseases of the Ear only, a Book, to be given away or sent by post to any part of the world, MODE of SELF-CURE for Country Patient:, by means of his new and infallible treatment, only dis covered within the last few weeks by Dr. MANFRED, Physician- Aurist. Thousands in this short space of time have been restored to perfect hearing, without absence from home or causing the least pain or inconvenience to the most aged or nervous sufferer, although having been deaf for twenty or thirty years; many are enabled, almost instantaneously, to hear a whisper. This die- covery has been proclaimed by all the head Physicians and Sur geons of London, to be one of the most miraculous and invaluable ever made in Aural Surgery; and the same gentlemen have pur loaded Dr. MANFRED to give publicity to it, for the purpose of saving the poor afflicted from the advertising quacks with assumed titles, whose fraudulent advertisements area disgrace to the press, their only desire being to plunder the afflicted ; and, in doing so, many hundreds are rendered incurable for life through their entire ignorance of the treatment. Doctor MANFRED, M.R.C.5.,E., Physician and Consulting Surgeon to the Institution for the Cure of Deafness, 84, Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square, London, receives Patients as above, and applies his New Treatment every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 11 until 3.—Poor, on Monday and Thursday, between 6 and 8 in the Evening. Dr. MANFRED hopes they will not refrain from seeking relief by means of his recent discovery; and if confidence is required, Dr. MANFRED will be happy to show thousands of letters from per sons cured, both rich and poor. FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—Th e math fold advantages to the Heads of Families from the posses sion of a Medicine of known efficacy,. that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every housekeeper in the kingdom. They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor, and invigorate the spirits, and if taken after an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. " For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of Winchmore Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent Medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion; but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton a Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton'a Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it." Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddi ness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very pre valent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Ner vous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the beat medicine that can be taken ; and for children of all ages they are unNualled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be required. Sold by all Medicine Vendors, price Is. lid. and 25. 9d. per box. See the name of "THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," on the Government Stamp. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ` 7 -1(Irs bp Attuton.

THE prorogation of Parliament has been fixed for this day (Tuesday), when the interesting ceremony will be performed by commission, HER MAJESTY remaining at Osborne until her departure for France. We shall publish THE QUEEN'S SPEECH in an extra Edition very shortly after Two o'clock this afternoon. - • LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S PATRIOTISM. THE speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, when he made a convulsive effort to wriggle himself once more into notice as a public man, has excited the ire of our contemporaries of almost every phase of political opinion. The Radicals have discovered, to their mortification, that they have grievously mistaken their whilome idol, and that, so far from his being a statesman of profound sagacity, he has displayed the peevishness of a spoiled child, and tried to damage the Ministry in which he had lost all hope of taking a part ; while the leading journal charitably concludes that he is labouring under a kind of hallucination, something nearly allied to insanity. It would hardly, indeed, be considered the act of a sane man to take the opportunity of the session being about to expire in order to indulge in a series of platitudes, and to make observations which, if they were entitled to the slightest weight, would damage the cause he has professed to espouse. The rejection of his peculiar notions about the conditions of peace might certainly rankle in his bosom, because the exposure made him appear so extremely ridiculous ; but it would scarcely mend his position to tell the House of Commons that the Turkish Ambassador, who was a very intelligent individual, agreed with him on the subject. In the first place, it was not true; and, it it were, it would not mend the matter, unless we are prepared to give Turkish intelligence the pre eminence over that of civilised Europe, which would be a somewhat new phase in modern statesmanship. As for his forebodings about the difficulties of the war, and the awful responsibility incurred by persevering in it, such remarks could only have emanated from one in the interest of Russia ; but, as we cannot believe his lordship to have sunk so low as to be acces sible to Russian gold, we can only believe that he has suffered from that peculiar fascination which is said to be characteristic of Russian diplomacy. Like the harmless bird under the gaze of the basilisk, he has been charmed at Vienna, and cannot in England dispel the illusion. But the most extraordinary part of his speech was his allusion to the affairs of Italy, and his well-feigned horror at the tyrannical despotism prac tised in States professing the Romish religion. It must be a return of one of those fits of ultra-Protes tantism which have sometimes seized him, such as when, like the boy who wrote " No Popery" on the door and then ran away, he wrote the famous Durham letter, and afterwards shrunk from his own doing in the milk-and-water scheme called the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. However true his statements that Pro testants in some Italian States suffer grievously from religious persecution, and that the Bishop of Rome is only maintained in his authority by the presence of French and Austrian troops, calling attention to the subject at this critical period could not have the slightest effect for good, while it might tend to embarrass our foreign relations, when it is more than ever necessary that attention should be concentrated on the prosecution of the war. If his object were to make a speech to be talked about at a time when he was afraid of being politically extinguished, there is no doubt he has been to some extent successful ; but if he fondly thought to create out of it political capital, or to recover any portion of that public confidence which he has forfeited, he has wofully deceived himself. He has sunk so low that all his old friends have turned their backs on him ; even the Radicals are foremost in crying him down ; nor could he find an apologist, unless it were amongst that shred of faction known as -the Peace party. There is nothing, after all, surprising in this. It is now about a quarter of a century since the time when, by the over-heating of the political cauldron, the scum was :thrown to the surface, and Lord Joul RIMELL, being ;foremost in Taking the cry of "The fAuGusT 14, 1855._ Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the going so far as to threaten the House of Lords sl physical demonstration of armed men from Thr sl t ham,—was elevated into the position of a 11, idol. With th a t p ecu li ar tact of which he is sa g; to be a ma s t er , h e h as con trived since then 0100 himself before the public eye, displaying versatility in principle as in talent, and ellaug u j g r tone as varying c i rcums t ances seemed to re cl 7ol order to preserve a show of popularity Which o s has deserted him altogether. His position as man has been as little creditable to popular intesiso 0 0 as the cry with whi c h it or i g i na ted. The cry nothing but the Bill, an d t ru ly it may be 5 0 nothing but the Bill ha s bee n the result o'o political mania which shook society to its W e ' l l) Lord JOHN RUSSELL took the first step to play so f he has since clung to with unscrupulous ,eiffi The Liberals have now discovered the wor t rdi of their idol ; but th e y h ave th em selves el ite l blame for being so bli n d e d b y par ty as to 13° 0 0 such a leader. It may truly be said that ther e # 0 shade of political opi n i on w hi c h h e has not; 3t l l , of his life espoused, and at another repudiair" 7 o o4 his crowning act has been to advocate PO 11 10 / price, and discourage the prosecution of a Wgir h io# might never have bee n commence d but for at servile letter to the English Ambassador I Russian Court.
