THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the claps of habitual invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency. barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinkinginto a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv riacunt will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It w ill not g i ve immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the cotnnturtity should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriaemn, which . removes diseases of the head, invigorates the k mind, mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.'

Many petitions were presented +an the subject of the Corn laws, and against the Municip a l Corporations (Ireland) Bill. The latter petitions led to some interesting conversation, in which the Marquis of Londonderry took part, enumerating, among other matters, the number of defe a t s i n th e L or d s an d Commons to which the Ministers had been exposed. The Marquis of NORMANBY entered into explanati ons re garding the temperance processions in Ireland, and said that, though lie could not object to- the motives and sentiments of the parties, he did consider " as unwise'? the assembling of such large numbers of people. • The Loan CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Printed Papers' Bill. The measure,she said, left the ques tion of privilege entirely untouched, and merely applied a re medy to inconveniences which had been found to result from the law •as laid clown by the Court of Queen's Bench. The question, he said, was not whether they did or did not pos sess the right, hut whether it was or was not expedient that some mode should be prescribed by which this object could be attained, that the right should be put in operation. Therefore, any one who contended for privilege in the highest sense would not find the bill at all interfere with what he was anxious to establish. Thosemho contended that the privi lege did not exist, would find that the bill only proposed a legal mode of enforcing that which it was declared ought not to be enforced by ordinary•means. Lord DENMAN observed that it was most desirable that the present state of things on the subject should be put an end to ; and it was quite impossible for anything to have been brought forward in a more conciliatory tone than had been exhibited by his noble and teamed friend. The noble and learned lord proceeded to ranove, as he said, the mis conceptions which had generally prevailed in consequence of the discussions of the, last four months, and rescue persons who had only done their duty from undeserved censure. Lord MELBOURNE expressed satisfaction at learning that no oppa-ition was to be given to the bill, and endeavoured by a variety of reasons to show the necessity of it. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, that the principal merit of the bill was that it threw no censure on the Court of Queen's Bench. His grace allowed the necessity of the measure ; and attributed to the sale of the reports of the commons what had taken place. After some observations from Lord Wynford, - Viscount Gage, the Marquis of Bute, and the Lord Chancellor in reply, the bill was read a second time, and the committee was fixed for Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnAv. There were presented many petitions on various subjects, -one of which was by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, regarding theatri cal performances in Passion-week. It was ordered to be printed with the votes, Mr. Duncombe giving notice that he should submit a motion on the subject on Thursday. Mr. HUTT stated that after the Easter recess he should move for leave to bring in a bill to enable parties to grind foreign corn in bond. SLANEY gave notice that on Thursday he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to loan societies. Sir J. GRAHAM, seeing Sir W. Molesworth in his place, wished to ask him a question. That hon. member bad a mo tion on the paper which stood first for to-day. He by no means undervalued the importance of that motion, but con sidering the length of time the papers relative to China had been laid on the table, and as it might be the wish of the house to express an opinion upon them before the adjourn ment, perhaps the hon. member would allow the motion re garding China to take precedence. _ Sir W. MOLESWORTH answered that he was rather reluc tant to yield precedence, as the motion relative to the aboli tion of transportation to the Australian provinces was one of very great consequence; but as many hon. members, he be lieved, were anxious to express their opinions upon the mo tion of the hon. baronet, he would not oppose himself to the wish of the house. He trusted that the house would in re turn, reward him witlia patient hearing as soon after Easter as possible. LORD J. RUSSELL gave notice that on Wednesday week he should move the adjournment of the house to that day fortnight. _ _ General JOHNSTON asked the Secretary for the Colonial department whether there was any likelihood of the papers moved for relative to the new poor law, being laid on the ta ble before the noble lord brought in his new poor law bill? Those returns were very material, and he thought informa tion ought to be in the hands of the house at the time the bill was presented. He should move that those returns be made forthwith, unless the noble lord gave him a satisfactory answer. Lord J. RUSSELL answered that he did not know the ex act nature of the returns. but be had no doubt they were in the course of preparation. There were many clerks em ployed at that moment in preparing the various returns that had been ordered ; but if those returns were to be ordered, great additional expense would be incurred. • Mr. HUME said that only extracts were wanted, which would not occupy a single clerk but for a short time. Seeing Lord Palmerston in his place, he asked when the papers re lating to the 'commercial treaty with Turkey would be ready ? Lord PALMERSTON answered that he would make in quiry. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT gave notice that after Easter he should call attention to the delay which had taken place in the settlement of the British claims on the Government of the Brasils arising out of the revolution at Para. Lord J. RUSSELL informed the house, that since he had been asked the questiorkby an hon. member, he had received a despatch from the Governor-General of Canada respecting the monastery of San Sulpice at Montreal. It was a subject on which a good deal of discussion had taken place ever since 1826. The question was not settled when Lord Gosford was in Canada, and at that time the commis sioners came to an opinion that, whatever the law might do in equity, the crown ought not to dispute the general claim of the ecclesiastical corporation. Lord Seaton pro posed an ordinance on the subject when in Canada, in accord ance with the views of all persons in Canada holding land under the ecclesiastical corporation ; that ordinance became inoperative, and Mr. Poulett Thomson was now going to pro pose a similar ordinance, coupling it with certain propositions contained in the report made by the hon. member for Lis keard when in Canada. If the ordinance were to be objected to, he knew not upon what grounds, except it was, Ist, on the ground that the Roman Catholics ought not to be placed in the same situation as other parties ; or, 2dlx, that they had been treated with partiality. The noble lord concluded by laying on the table a copy of the despatch. Lord .1. RUSSELL afterwards moved the second reading of the ecclesiastical duties and revenues bill. Sir R. INGLis opposed its principle, and said he should take the sense of the house on it. After extended discussion, in which many opposition mem bers expressed themselvesfavourable to the plan of going into committee to see whether they could not make the bill more perfect, the house divided, and the numbers were—For the second reading 87; against it, 11—majority 76. - The other orders of the day, Lord Seaton's annuity bill, &c., were afterwards proceeded with. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. Many petitions were presented against revision of the corn-laws. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from Londonderry against the municipal corporations (Ireland) bill, and observed that noble lords opposite had been deceived by their radical friends, when told the corporation of London derry was in favour of this bill. The Bishop of EXETER, fier entering into ample and in structive details on the subject of the clergy reserves, Canada, moved that those questions be put to the judges. Lord MELBOURNE resisted the motion as unnecessary. A debate of some length ensued, in the course of which the Duke of Wellington spoke in support of the motion. Lord Ellenborough added, that he also had a question to put to the judges. _ Their lordships eventually divided—for-the motion, 57 ; against it, 40 ; majority, 17. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. Mr. BAILLIE, the new member for Inverness-shire, took the oaths and his seat. Several private bills were forwarded a stage, among them the Farmers' and General Fire and Life Assurance Company Bill was read the second time. Mr. ORD presented the panels for election committees on the Totness and Cambridge petitions. The members select ed for the former committee were duly sworn; but the in disposition of one of the members (Mr. Estcourt Sotheron), named on the latter committee, being pleaded and supported by medical evidence, it was moved that he should be excused from attendance. A discussion followed, and the decision of the house was eventually deferred till Wednesday. Mr. Fox MAULE gave notice, that on Tuesday next he would move for leave to bring in a bill for the better regula tion of the trade of chimney sweeping. THL CIIINA QUESTION. Sir JAMES GRAHAM then proceeded to open the debate on his motion regarding the affairs of China. In moving a reso lution that the rupture with China has been mainly owing to the imprudence of ministers, and to their neglect to furnish the superintendent at Canton with powers and instructions calculated to provide against the evils of the opium trade, and adapted to his new and difficult situation, the right hon. baronet began by adverting to the magnitude of the interests now affected. One sixth of our whole commercial revenue, he said, depended on the maintenance of our relations with China. It would be unwise to deceive ourselves by adopting the vulgar notion of her weakness. She had 35,000,000 of people, directed by one man, with one language, one code of laws, one religion, one national feeling, a fertile and well watered soil, and an annual revenue of £60,000,000, unen cumbered by debt. Was it prudent to quarrel with Each a people as this ? (Hear, hear.) They had an universal jealousy of strangers, especially of the English, whose es tablishment and advance in Hindostan th ey h a d v i ewe d w ith s ome a alarm. had The East India Company, w hil e it possesse d the trade' been careful in its injunctio ns o f f or b earan ce to its,;vsed in the supercar goes. Resolutions to the lik e e ff ec t had been r 1 - louse of Commons by Si r J o h n Staunton, when the trade was thrown open. At that time two errors had been com mitted ; experience had since shown them _ instruction eto be injurious in ones; but they were unrecalled. One w the king's superintendent to take up h i s residence th idence at Cant on ; the other, for him to treat directly with the viceroy, instead of communicating as theretofore through the Hong merchant s. The Duke of Wellington had left in the foreign office a me morandum, which should have been the guide of his succes sor. The Auke had intended it only for his own colleagues, but had not shrunk from the responsibility of leaving it as his recorded opinion. On both the b efore -mentioned errors this memorandum was explicit ; but to both had Lord Pal merston adhered. The memorandum recommended the con stitution of a court having criminal and admiralty jnrsdic tion, which the superintendent should exercise over the king's subjects ; and it advised the employment of a stout frigate and a smaller vessel of war to be retained withn the reach of the officer. All these recommendations had been neglected. Lord Strathallan had strongly counselled that an autograph letter should be sent from the King of England to the Emperor of China as a basis of friendly relations. Each successive superintendent had repeated the same ad vice ; but nothing of the kind had been done ; and during five years of correspondence, the only sentence bordering upon the subject, was a passing observation upon a proposal for a special commission to make arrangements with the Chinese government about the opium trade, as a suggestion upon which " government do not see their way with suffici ent clearness to justify them in adopting it at the present moment." Captain Elliott soon felt the deficiency of his powers. He had repeatedly applied for an increase of them, and explained the circumstances of the crisis which pressed him. The Chinese, when urging him to take any step with respect to the English, remarked, that having orders from his king, to repress what was evil, he of course h.d powers by whictr tholle orders could be fulfilled, These .afro bp Atution. 4=c- , 12.S THIS DAY, (Friday,) the 10th instant, at Twelve o'clock, at Buchanan and Browne's Office, Oldhall-street, 30 Casks Jamaica COFFEE.

MILK PUNCH THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nea•ly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector o' this delectable beverage hakhis abode; no doubt the corpontion of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, anti marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town; but withthat the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice cf the Lon vivant of the northern pirts of this great Kingdon for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail .1 its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, am, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness the Grain, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champgne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Tabh, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendent merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crosses the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pr oprietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we an, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excelence, improves by age._ - ✓ LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepam and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. Conic and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters o' taste every man is the best Judge, - this invitation is given in tie full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its wayto the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 anongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

They continusa to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, hut, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none snore destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons.

T PRIESTLEY, CHEattsr, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs • particularly. to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele brated article SEIDLITZ - POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chatybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDL ITZ PO WDERS is pe culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlit: Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Pgvders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. Prepared and sold only by Joitx PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attendediwith risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at is. 6d. each. FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA. A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of Citron it forms an effervescing draught. The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le monade, and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can be more agreeable. PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS. These pills are purely Vegetable, and to those troubled with Indigestion or sensation of fulness at the stomach after meals they are invaluable.—ln Boxes at Is. and 2s. 6d. each.

Sold in Bottles at Is. 3d. and 3s. each. CHEMICAL MARKING INK, For Writing on Linen with a Common Pen. This is very suporior to the generality of what are called Permanent Inks.

Families may be accommo dated with the Improved Permanent Ink and Preparation separately, if required.—Sold in Cases, ls. 6d. and 3s. VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.

Meanwhile the opium . trade •was swelling to a dangerous height. When Captain Elliot urged this danger, with reference t o th e case o f th e smuggling vessel Jardine, Lord Palmerston only told him to be cautious how he interfered beyond his authority. In stead of a naval force stationed, according to the Duke of Wellington's counsel, th e whole protection which British property obtained in the recent hour of need was from a merchantman, whose commander had the public spirit to arm her with guns at his ojvn expense. Captain Elliot, un til latterly, had acted with prudence as well as energy ; but his later conduct had undoubtedly been censurable, pattku larly his attempt at a blockade, and his engagement with the Chinese vessels on the 3d of November. We were now en gaged in a war of which the circumstances were as formi dable as the stake was important. Had it been preceded by due precaution, and brought on by the just necessity of self defence, he believed that the martial spirit of England would have girded her cheerfully for the contest: but when mi nisters had pertinaciously neglected precaution, slighting all the warnings of such a statesman as the Duke of Welling,- ton, and all the experience of the merchants most conver sant with the trade, and when the superintendent was left without instructions or powers to meet an emergency fore seen and foretold, he did not believe that the people would patiently submit to burdens for the continuance of a struggle in which success would be unattended with glory, while de feat would be followed by ruin. Mr. MACAULAY congratulated himself and his collea gues that the char s e h a d b een no stronger. It was wholly retro spective; and it alleged no blame but that of omission. There was hardly any transaction upon which an ingenious man might not argue that if something else had been done things might have been better. The despatches might in deed have been thought too general if they had been written for a minister at Paris ; but in this case the scene was fifteen thousand miles off, and the circumstances might have changed repeatedly before specific instructions could have reached the officer. Sir James Graham should have shown what particular acts ought to have been done. As to the two in structions which had been complained of as errors Imre yoked, they had done no harm, for they had ant been among the subjects of dispute with China ' • nor had the instructions about the u se o f t h e word " pin," for on this Captain Elliot had taken upon himself to forbear acting. As to the ships of war, the Duke's meaning had been, that they should be retained only till the renewal •of trade, as interrupted under Sir G. Robinson. That interruption had ceased ; and it might have produced excitement to make a needless exhibi tiOn of armed force. It was true, that no powers had been sent out for suppressing the opium trade; but that was be cause; until 1838, it was expected that the Chinese govern ment were about to legalise it. But if an order had been sent to put it down, that order would have been a dead letter. It was impossible, even in this country, to put down smug gling. The complete exclusion of the opium from Canton would have _driven it on shore in other places, where colli sions would heve occurred with the local authorities, and a general systetis of bucaneering would have arisen throughout the water surrounding China. He feared that too mamy were disposed to vote on this question as if the armament had been undertaken to sustain a trade in opium. It was not - fOr that purpose that a force had been sent out ; but for the redress of insults and injuries no longer endurable. The mover hin - .self had not objected to a war on such grounds, and it was consolatory to know, that if the result of the di vision should compel a change of men, it would, on this point, cause no change of measures. Sir W. FoLLErr took the same view with Sir James Graham, of the unjustifiable neglect exhibited by government on the subject of the powers necessary for the superintend ent, under the novel circumstances of the opening of the China trade. If the officer in China was too distant to be regulated from home, the reason was the stronger for giving him the power to make his own regulations on the spot. Sir W. Follett quoted various passages from the despatches of Captain Elliott, describing the damages and pressing most urgently for instructions and powers, none of which requests had awakened any attention. In the time of the East India Company its supercargoes had.effectual powers, and if their orders were disobeyed the lisense of the ship was forfeited. An order in council had been passed to give similar powers to the king's superintendent, but there being no longer any system of licensing, there was nothing to forfeit, and the order in council was ineffectual. The defect was pointed out to government, but they never amended it. They had refused to let their people be tried by the Chinese jurisdictions, and yet they had neglected to establish any of their own, as under the China trade act th e y m i g ht an d oug h t to have done. He doubted the justice of these hostilities; and, unless that justice were clear, he was averse to let loose the calamities of war against this numerous people. Mr. Macauley had said the war would be popular. That was very questionable. A great change had taken place in public opinion on such sub jects; and it was impossible to say what a war like this might involve, or where it would end. Sir G. STAUNTON thought the war both just and necessary. He disapproved of the opium trade on moral grounds, but the morality of that trade was not the question here. Our empire in the east rested on opinion, which would be much endangered if we were to submit passively to insult. He did not see that the despatches of Lord Palmerston had any con nexion with the main question. Mr. SIDNEY 11 ERBERT said it was precisely because those despatches bore so little on the main question that the present motion entitled itself to support. The duke's memorandum had greatly increased Lord Pahnerston's responsibility. Mr. Macaulay had said the Duke did not contemplate the per manent employment of the naval force ; but Lord Palmer ston's despatches expressed a different opinion. The justice of the war had been insisted on—he doubted it much ; but his present complaint against ministers was not for sending the armament, but for having made the armament necessary. The debate was adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY. The House of Lords did not sit to-day. HOUSE OF MONEDNESDAY. The business began CO by pa M ssing S. the W South-Eastern De viation Bill. The report of the Juvenile Offenders Bill was brought up and ordered to be printed. Numerous petitions were then presented, and a discussion arose on the printing of petitions, which was closed by a just remark of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, " That in conformity with the resolution of the house in March, 1839, all that it was ne cessary for a member to do in order to have a petition printed was to intimate that it was his intention to bring its subject under the consideration of the house. It was not required that he should state the specific nature of the in tended motion." The motion that this petition which had given rise to this conversation be printed with the votes was then agreed to. Among the petitions was one from the guardians of a poor law union in East Sussex, stating that for five years the ser vices of the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner had been very useful, but, such services being now no longer required, they prayed that the number of those commissioners might be re duced. Mr. CLIVE brought up the report of the select committee on the Totness election. The return had been a double one. The report of the committee declared the election void both with regard to Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Blount, and a writ was afterwards ordered for the election of a new member. On account of the illness of Mr. Sotheron, the appoint ment of the Cambridge Election Committee was further postponed. . . Mr. HUME gave notice, that he would on an early day after Easter move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Official Pensions Bill. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL an address to Her Majesty was agreed to, praying that she would be graciously pleased that there be laid on the table of the House a copy of the correspondence with the Secretary of State relative to New Zealand. After a short conversation with Lord JOHN Russgi.i., the Committee on Mr. Sergeant TOLFOURD'S Copyright Bill was fixed for Wednesday, the 29th inst. The adjourned debate on Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S motion respecting China was then begun by Mr. HAWES. He thought the mover ought to have stated the policy which the Opposition, in the event of their succeeding to office, were prepared to adopt on the subject of the opium trade. To suppress it would be beyond their power or that of the Chinese Government itself. He approved the strong mea sures taken to uphold the national dignity, and vindicated the absence of instructions on the ground that so distant a settle ment as that of Canton could not have been governed by orders from home. He attributed the motion to mere party feeling, and should join in opposing it. Mr. TRESIGER, in answer to the objection that the terms the motion expressed no opinion on the merits of the war, observed, that there had been so many contradictions, even among the ministerial partizans themselves, on the question whether we are actually at war or not, that it was impossible for the mover to have stated any positive opinion whether the war was a just one. Mr. Thesiger then censured the two original mistakes of directing Lord Napier to insist on a direct communication with the Chinese authorities, and of instructing him to fix his residence at Canton. Lord Napier had sunk under the difficulties of his position, and been suc ceeded by Mr. Davis, who made way for Sir G. Robinson. The two latter abstained from aggravating the mischief occa sioned by Lord Napier's too implicit obedience to his orders, and both pressed earnestly for further instructions. The first of their requests arrived at the Foreign -office in Ja nuary, 1835, and 17 months elapsed before the present government took any notice of it. Mr. Thesiger proceeded to quote passages from the published papers, being communi cations by the superintendents of the difficulties with which they were pressed, and entreaties for directions from the home government, all of which representations had been disregarded. The despatch sent out, after the interval of 17 months, was one of no practical application ; but the effort of writing it s o ex h aus t e d t h e no bl e Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that he immediately relapsed into his usual lethargy. He, however, removed Sir G. Robinson, and true that have roused governing eriwithout any apparent reason ; but this removal, like all th e former steps, was unattended with any practical instructi ons . The only point on which he seemed at al to him self was that of the "pin." a distant country much should be left to the local authorities, It was l but here was no local authority invested with any power. Sir G. Robinson, in one of his despatches, said, that he could put down smuggling of opium in British ships, if proper power were sent him from home. The Chi nese h ad, indeed, enforced their edicts against that traffic with considerable severity ; but this was an exercise of right on their part, which strangers were not entitled to complain of. At length extrem ities had been reach e d, and we were committed to war, the cause of which he believed to be, the insisting on points t o which the prejudices o f Chi na were cppcsed, and the neg lect to furnish the superintendent with the necessary powers. Mr. C. BULLER s a id, t h at if there was blame in the neglect to answer the despatches relating to the transactions in Lord Napier's time, that blame must be shared by the Duke of Wellington, who was in office at the commencement of 1835, and sent out only one despatch, wherein he referred .the su perintendent to the instructions of Lord Palmerston. The charge here was a charge of omission ; surely, then, it was incumbent on the accusers to say what that was that ought to have been done. He felt the seriousness and importance of the pending war, but he must condemn the party motives of those who, instead of debating the great questions of poli cy raised by it, reduced the whole discussion to a repetition of the no -confidence vote. Nothing was more easy than the retrospective foresight now exhibited by the opposition. They enlarged upon the good effects which might have arisen from proper powers and instructions ; but what those powers and instructions s h ou ld h ave b een t h e y wholly omitted to suggest. The noble secretary's course had at least this me rit—that it made things no worse. The Chinese were not wholly to blame. It was but too natural for them to enter tain suspicion of the British designs, when they remembered that the overthrow of the greatest dynasty in Asia had origi nated in the humble solicitation of two or three British mer chants at the court of Aurungzebe for leave to establish a factory, the modern owners of which factory now maintained the last descendant of that prince as their dependent pension er. Even in the days of the East India company there were frequent interruptions of the trade; but the company had this advantage, that the whole of that commerce being under their own control, they could bring the Chinese to reason by the total stoppage of it. He believed that some such collision as the present was inevitable in the natural course of events; but he much rezretted that its immediate cause was the trade in opium, and that we were likely to be regarded by the world as taking arms for the maintenance of that injurious traffic. The accusers of ministers contended that by due exertion the British Government might have effected the suppression of the trade ; but the published papers, from which he cited several passages, appeared to him to disprove that hypothesis. It was idle t o suppose t h at the Br i tish G overnmen t or they Chinese, or both to ge th er , cou ld s t o p the smuggling of an article which was in great popular demand. Mr. GLA DSTONE sa id th a t the Duke of Wellington, during the short period of his administration in 1835, had sent a despatch in February, and in March had digested the c oo _ sidorations appertaining to the subject, and left th em to hit Deal latibitrations. !--- Just published, in f oo l sca p S vo , c l ot h' lettered, _ price Five Shillings and Sixpence, A MANUAL ON THE BOWELS, an d th e T rea t men t L - 3. of their principal Disorders, from Infancy to Old Age:, By JAMES.
