Vegetable Substances, contain no mineral of any kind, and are perfectly safe and certain in their action-on all persons. young or old. DR- TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN , EARSAPARILLA -is the great : purifyer. of the blood and the most efficient alterative probably that is known. It eradicates ill acrid humourardis eased particles a and ;morbid substances•from the blood, feat, and bones—its assimilation to the gastric ~juice of the stomach causes it to pass rapidly into and uniteavith the vital current, thus creating new, pure, and rich blood. Hence its wonderful efficacy at Scrofula, Mercurial Taint, Scald Head, Erysipelas, Rheumatism, Gout, Cutaneous Eruptiona, , Chronic Sore Eyes, and all other maladies arising from a bactstate of the blood —hence, lot), its value-as a tonic, in cases of languor, great debility, and lassitude, nervous prostration, weakness, and tremulousness from any cause. It is inestimable in Female Complaints, in. - disease of the Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Me sentery, Kidneys, &c. Ladies of delicate constitutions, suf fering from ,arty disorganization, with pale, .emaciated coun tenance', feeble and .weak, nervous and irrit a bl e , wou ld d o well to use the -Sarsaparilla. This invaluable -medici ne pro duces the mmitaalutaty influence upon the nervous system; the circulation, the organs of nutrition and secretion, and being taken into the ,svatern by absorption and digestion, s conveyed into every minute part of-the 'body by the circulating current, thus diffused everywhere—made omnipresent—exercising a healthful efficacy on every neva and blood vessel—on the brain, the heart, kings, stomach, liver, kidneys, a n d spl een , the skin, membranes, glands, and nlymphatics—the -banes, ten dons, and muscles—the blood, hale, gastric juice, lymph, chyle, &c., eradicating every morbid agent, every .poison— invigorating all weak organs, enriching impoverished and affecting an entire renovationof the whole system.

THE ' ELIXIR OF HEALTH, like:the Sarsaparilla, has suet with great and deserved success in the,cure of Female Com plaints—both are peculiarly adapted to the constiaution and a il m ents of females and almost never fail lid those diseaset pe ctdar to the sex. The Elixir is excellent in Colds, Coughs Bronchitis, and other diseases of the Lungs and Chest, Pleurisy, Palpitation of the Heart, &c. It is a splendid remedy for Liver Complaints, Disease of the Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach, General Eruptions, Nervous Diseases, -Sick Headache, Dropsy, Salt Rheum, and all Bilious Disorders. It cleanses out the whole system of acid, slime, worms, bile, &c., and like the Sarsaparilla, when used in the spring and fall, effectually puri fies the blood and secretions of bilious and other morbid mat ter, and thus prevents a host of other acute and chronic diseases. Half-pints, 2s. 9d.: Pints, 45. 6d. DR. TOWNSEND'S VEGETABLE PILLS hold a prominent place among his family medicines, and are greatly esteemed by all who have used them. As an aperient medicine, as a cleanser of all the foul and viscid humours of the stomach, as a regulator of the bowels and general secretions, and as a great and gentle preventive of the numerous complaints of the in testines and labouring organs of the body, these Pills cannot be excelled. Most of the Pills which are offered to the public are merely of a purgative or drastic character, and hence their limited usefulness, and often injurious results. They, more over, operate on parts or portions of the larger or smaller intestines, which is a proof of inefficiency not only, but of po. sitive injury, whereas Dr. Townsend's Pills produce an equal and steady movement throughout the entire alimentary o r intestinal canal, diminishing the quantity of the circulating mass, equalizing the circulation, and reestablishing a healthy state of the biliary organs, stomach, and intestines. Wher ever these Pills have been introduced into a family, no others are permitted to come—the difference is too great, too glaring, too palpable. Good medicine will always displace that which is worthless, and it is right that it should be so.—Boxes ls. 2s. 9(1., and 4a. 6d. DR. TOWNSEND'S INDIAN PANACEA, a preparation strictly confined to one class of complaints, viz.: " Diseases of the Intestines or Bowels." The success of this medicine in curing Cholera, Cholera Infantum, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Bloody Flux, Cramps, Spasms, or any complaints of the bowels, surpasses anything that may be said of Dr. Townsend's other Preparations. It is a special remedy, and does its work in a special manner. We feel that we are justified in saying, from the proof it has given that it is INFALLIBLE, that it never fails to cure if used in the incipient stages of the attacks. It has been administered in thousands of cases, and we have never known it to fail in a single instance, and we therefore believe it will not do so now. Where a person can speak of a medicine in so positive and decided a manner, and with the most solemn regard to truth, the public will have some confi dence in these declarations.—Bottles 2s. 9d. and as. 6d.

A FORTNIGHT has elapsed since the Select Com mittee of the House of Commons commenced its inquiry into the Petition against the late Election for Liverpool, and thequestion may fairly be asked, what has been done? -Scores of witnesses have been examined, the most -simple transactions have been tortured into bribery and corruption, and all that'has really been proved is that the Petition is frivolous and vexatious. fin every point have the Petitioners failed to convince any honest or intelli gent man of the truth of their allegations, while they have disgusted even•their own party with the folly of •their proceedings. The experience of pre vious elections, when Liberal candidates were the prime movers, might have left the impression that some portion of the Liverpool .electors were still open to.similar influences, but the,examination has tended to purify the constituency from traditional shame; and ,whatever may be 'the:decision of the Committee, the electors will stand in the eyes of the world acquitted of all blame, and presenting the gratifying spectacle of a body of-men, many of them in humble life, vindicating their character for political consistency, and justifying their right to enjoy the franchise which they so worthily exercised. Of the thousands who came to the poll, to vote for the defence of the Shipping Interests and the pre servation of the purity of the Protestant Faith, it has not been strewn that one of them gave his vote for a meaner consideration, while it has been abun dantly proved that the basest attempts have been made to induce these men to give evidence to the contrary. It would be tedious to' enter minutely into any analysis of the evidence of the several witnesses which have been examined, for nearly all tell the same story ; and when it is divested of the colouring which legal ingenuity would throw around it, we can only arrive at one conclusion, that the working men were allowed a holiday according to custom on the day of election ; and, in order that it should be really a holiday, they were paid the wages which they would otherwise have earned at their several trades. It has not even been shewn that this payment in any way influenced their votes, or was attempted to operate so; and yet upon this flimsy pretext, so paltry, that every honest man in Liverpool is thoroughly ashamed of the transaction, Mr. RATHBONE and his co-conspirators have endeavoured to fix a stigma upon the Borough and render void an election which was a credit to all who assisted in gaining it. But if in the opinion of the Petitioners the electoral body really required purification, what becomes of the purity of Mr. RATHBONE, jun., when he was compelled to admit that he made use of the petition in order to gain one of the seats for Mr. CARDWELL by the offer of a compromise, which was indignantly spurned., The whole affair i 3 so transparently infamous, 10 avowedly corrupt in object and intention, that we have not the slightest fears for the result. If the Committee do their duty as honest men, they will declare the petition to be frivolous and vexatious, and saddle those who instituted the proceedings with all the heavy costs, which will be too light a punishment for their turpitude ; but if, on the other hand, party should prevail over principle, and with that ingenious casuistry with which the new found zeal for political purity tortures any petty circumstance to its own ends, the Committee should declare Messrs. TURNER and MACKENZIE not duly elected, the electors of Liverpool will justify their own character for consistency, and by a far more triumphant majority return two Conservatives to represent them in the present Parliament. THE COALITION MINISTRY — WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? ALMOST six months have elapsed since Lord ABER DEEN composed his Coalition Ministry upon Con servative-Liberal principles, and the country has now a fair right to inquire what they have done, more particularly as the season is fast approaching when the increase of temperature and the desire for rural recreation will render all legislation a mere hurried passing of Bills through their several stages. It is well known that in ordinary cabinet work the coalition of various fancy woods is usually intended more for ornament than use, and our present rulers seem to act upon the same principle, though it may be difficult to discover wherein consists the ornament. The similarity, however, is much closer—in the absence of the useful. Before the Easter recess nothing was done, because the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not ready with his Financial Statement, and since then everything else has had togive wayin order that his various proposals to increase and diminish taxation might receive their due share of discus sion ; so that the session will be brought to a close with the simple announcement that the Budget has been carried. The Landed Interest have had their claims for relief met with additional burdens. Ireland, after her suffering from the famine, the pestilence, and the desertion of her population, is saddled with the Income Tax ; the clamourers for cheap Tea have to pay in the price of the article the small saving in the duty ; and all the boon of the fiscal alterations is comprised in cheap Soap. This, then, is the solitary sheaf of the Sessional harvest, and all the noted tact of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is brought into play, in order to spin out the time until the prorogation, and for this simple reason, that there is no one principle of Legislation upon which this united Cabinet can agree. The Radicals were promised a measure of Parliamentary Reform, but they will look in vain for any proposal which shall satisfy the Conservatism of the PeeliteQ, the moderate views of the Whig section, or the extreme notions of the ultra Liberals. In opinions and desires they are as wide as the poles asunder; any tangible proposition would split the Ministry into fragments ; and their real strength consists in doing nothing. This is the Conservative progress upon which the Premier dilated with such unmeaning declamation at the commencement of his career, and the inter pretation of the strange phrase is now becoming evident even to the warmest of his supporters. The task of inventing something to talk about was thrown upon their financial oracle, Mr. GLAD STONE ; and he has wonderfully succeeded, by an ingenious legerdemain, of putting on here and taking off there, to find employment for the House of Commons without provoking discussions which might prove inconvenient. The main object was retention of place, which was only to be secured by an indefinite postponement of every question which was likely to create a difference of opinion ; and this description applies to almost every subject which has agitated the public mind out of doors. A short time since a bill was introduced for the ex tension of National Education, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL took great credit to himself for his zeal in behalf of religious instruction. The Dissenters, however, have discovered that scholars are more wanted than schools; that a compulsory rate would supersede voluntary aid, and that the Church might be more benefited than the sectaries. They have, therefore, petitioned against the bill, and the cun ning Minister has quietly shelved it until a more convenient season. On the question of the reve nues of the Irish Church, the novel zeal of Lord JOHN RUSSELL against the Romish priests, of whom he has been the chief supporter, produced a Ministerial rupture ; but the prudent Lord ABER. DEEN lured back the deserters by repudiating the sentiments of his principal colleague, so that we have the leaders of each House of Parliament avowing a difference of opinion on a vital question, and yet remaining together in office, because a split would be fatal to both of them. It would be im possible to point to any one advantage which the country Las derived from the accession of the pre sent Ministry, and it would be equally as difficult to point to one which there is the slightest reason to expect ; and yet, for this mongrel compound ,of opposite opinions and antagonistic principles, :the country has lost the services of the able Lord DERBY, and the influence of the great Conservative .party, for which such exertions were made at the last election, is being frittered away in listless inactivity. Legislation, indeed, for any beneficial purpose, has 'become impracticable; the real business of the country has been brought to a dead lock, with no apparent prospect of any relief; political principles have become, as far as concerns public men, of doubtful meaning ; and all this has been brought about because a few professing Conservatives, closely imitating their late leader in his political treachery, have belied all their previous professions and joined their opponents, in order to mortify their friends There was something very plausible in the avowal which Lord ABERDEEN made of the little real dif ference between him and his colleagues; but, when we consider that his Ministry is composed of every phase of extreme opinions, the Presbyterian Pre mier, the Tractarian and Conservative Mr. GLAD. STONE, the Protestant and Whig Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Romanist Mr. KEOGH, and the Radical Sir WELCIAM MOLESWORTH, We can readily understand that no measure of any impor tance can possibly emanate from such discordant elements, and we maysafely predict that the session will he brought to a close with cheap Soap, and a permanent Income Tax, as the only fruits of it. We must therefore be content to bide our time, until the electors will open their eyes to the vital impor tance of returning Conservative Representatives, and the Government of the country be at least placed in the position of being guided by intelligible principles. THE MINISTERIAL INDIA BILL. AFTER two adjournments, and a discussion in which nearly all the argument has been against the proposition, the Government have been allowed, without a division, to bring in their bill for per petuating the abuses of the East India Company. This is by no means a question in w hich the in terests of the proprietors of East India Stock are solely concerned, but one upon which depends a very large portion of the future commerce of the country, from which it has long been debarred by a system of exclusiveness directly at variance with modern policy. All inquiry has tended to elicit the fact abl e th e l a i tn t o a u te r , v l a y s n t u p l d o s s p e r s o si l, o e n s a i nfitehl d E fo a t, r i w n e i :htheir e anti e e e n n t o e r r m p r o i u s e s s p n o e h p u a l s a t t i h o e n , w productive v s e o r i l v , e a t n w d i f n a e v s o s t e t d r if their resources were duly developed; and the sole obstacle hitherto has been that peculiar policy which, strange:y enough, finds its advocates in a professing Free-trade Ministry. After years of almost uncon trolled dominion by the nominees of a company, the revenue of this immense empire is barely suffi cient to meet the increasing expenditure, although, under judicious management, it might have proved a mine of wealth to our national Exchequer; while the trade, which, keeping pace with improvements, might have quadrupled our exports, has been al most stationary. In the application of scientific aid to the means of internal communication, in the encouragement of cultivation, in the promotion of commerce, and the extension of civilization, where the field for operation was almost inexhaustible, the company may be said to have done literally nothing. So long as India yielded enormous salaries for the proteye's of the directors, and dividends for the holders of stock, the interests of the mother country were of no concern ; and now, after the lapse of many years, it is as much a care and as little a profit as it was before all these opportunities of advance ment had been neglected. Let us hope, however, that the Legislature will not let the present opportunity be thrown away, but insist either upon a measure which shall place the affairs of India directly under imperial control, or, by postponing the question until next session, afford time for maturing an efficient system for the future. The discussion which has already taken place has shown that the Government will meet with a vigorous opposition if they attempt to pass the bill in its present shape ; and, as it is a question in which parties on both sides of the house may agree, there is a favourable prospect of a more satisfactory decision being come to. It is one in which Liverpool has an interest, because an extension of our commercial relations with the East would add materially to the trade of the port ; and if there are really any grounds for apprehending danger from the recent belligerent manifestations between Russia and Turkey, it is more than ever necessary that India should be placed more directly under the management of our own Government. AFFAIRS IN THE EAST. WAR WITH RUSSIA. THE recent proceedings in Constantinople, and the repot.. s of movements of troops and preparations for belligerent manifestations, hae set all Europe in a fever of apprehension that the flame of war is about to be relighted ; that the land having had rest for nearly forty years, it is now about to be broken. The alarm, however, is not directly the effect of the proceedings between Russia and Turkey; for, during all the negotiations in Con stantinople, little faith was placed in their leading to any serious rupture ; but since then reports have been received of English and French fleets moving towards the Bosphorus, and the sensitive pulse of the monetary interest is throbbing in exciting response. From all quarters, the Paris Bourse, the London Stock Exchange, the Share markets, the Manufac turing districts and the Commercial ports, we hear of the rumours of war operating to produce a stag nation in business, and a fall in the value of Secu rities, while the tenour of the various telegraphic dispatches received through Paris and Vienna serve to fan the flame and keep alive the feeling of alarm. In this state of things it becomes the more neces sary to survey calmly the position of affairs, in order, if possible, to arrive at a correct appre ciation of the alleged casus belli, and the proba bilities of its being acted upon. It has been confi dently assumed that the real design of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA is to find a cause of quarrel with the SULTAN of TURKEY, in order to avail himself of the opportunity to seize on some of the Turkish provinces, which lie in convenient proximity to his own Em pire, with the ultimate object of appropriating the whole, and thereby possessing himself of the key to the Black Sea and a highway to the East. To this, however, it may be replied, that had such been his desire, he has had ample opportunity to gratify it, without prolonging negotiations which have not yet been brought to a close ; and though the drawing near of English and French fleets may have induced a prudent reserve, it should be remembered that such a movement is simply a prk caution against possible contingency. The members of the Greek Church in the vicinity of the Holy Sepulchre have long enjoyed immunity from the Turkish Govern ment, and been allowed the first place among the various sects of professing Christians who claim an nterest in the Holy Places. This right of priority was however interfered with by a firman, which the French Minister artfully obtained from the PORTE, in favour of the Latin monks, and Louis NAPOLEON vauntingly claimed the title of Pro tector of the Holy Places. This roused the ire of the Greek patriarchs, ant upon an appeal to the RUSSIAN EMPEROR, who assumes to be the Head and Protector of the Greek:Church, a remonstrance was made, and the obnoxious firman was rendered virtually of none effect. But this was not deemed sufficient; and by way of a guarantee against any future interference, Prince MENSCHIKOFF was= despatched to Constantinople with a demand for a Convention, by which the Protectorate of the Ear- PEROR OF RUSSIA over all members of the Greek Church in the Ottoman Empire was specially recog nised. As this was virtually a claim of sovereignty over a large portion of the Turkish population, it formed a subject of anxious deliberation in the Turkish Divan, and, backed by the diplomatic as sistance of the English and French Ministers, a positive refusal was given to the demand, and Prince MENSCHIKOFF took his departure. But so far from his leave-taking being considered a declaration of hostilities, such a construction of it was positively disavowed, and since then the RUSSIAN EMPEROR has renewed his demand by a courier from St. Pe tersburg, giving further time for consideration, while Count NESSELRODE has been despatched to Lon don to explain the intentions of the EMPEROR to the British Cabinet. The attitude assumed by Russia has, however, led to declarations from other powers, and the co-operation of Austria and Prussia with England and France is confidently reckoned upon in favour of friendly mediation to secure the SULTAN of Turkey against hostile demonstrations. But the question has also led to dissensions in our own Cabinet, for while Lord PALMERSTON, it is said, would willingly have co-operated with France in opposition to the Russian demands, both the Earl of ABERDEEN and Lord JOHN RUSSELL held aloof, and only consented to naval re-inforcements when they saw that public feeling in England was against them, and that active interference could no longer be delayed. proba bility of actual warfare still remains to be solved ; provoke the and, notwithstanding the threatening appearances The important question, however,of the and the fall in the money markets, we are inclined ggroefssißonusssaian aveancannotbelievehath.eatthe to the opinion that the affair will end as it began,— in negotiation.

For years has this great Empire been baffled in its attempts to subdue the handful of hardy mountaineers in the Caucasus ; and though the Turkish provinces on the Danube ma y present an easier field of conquest, we can have nothing to fear, when the whole interest of Russia must be to preserve an alliance with so mighty a state as Great Britain,
