DR. JOHN ARMSTRONG'S LIVER
PILLS.
I care not how I am physickcd, so it be not by the adventure of a
quack, but advice of a physician, who I am sure will prescribe no more
for me than may consist with my safety, and need d .th require."— Old

Dr. John Arrrfstrong's Liver Pills—the property of a private Gentle-
man—are rapidly obtaining an extensive sale and celebrity throughout
the country, and are found to be one of the most efficacious medicines of
the day, for removing the long train of painful disorders, commonly
termed BILIOUS.
Very numerous and striking testimonials, received both from patients
and from agents in all parts of the country, might he advertised; but, the
proprietor understanding that such evidence is sometimes viewed by the
public with susN.cion, prefers omitting it altogether. His own personal
make trial of the Medicine, as an " Antibilious," will be so delighted
with its benign and certain operation, as never to use any other. The
Proprietor has invariably found Dr. Armstrong's 'AVM Pills afford relief,
and promote health, where many of the " Antsbilious" pills of the day
had totally disappointed the patient.
Prepared solely for the Proprietor, by Mr. J. T. Eddy, Bishop Stortford,
Herts, who is appointed his Wholesale Agent, and whose name and ad-
dress are engra.e.! on the Stamp, which is also sealed with the Arms of
the Proprietor; none else is genuine. Sold in Boxes at Is. IXd , axd

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

One of the good effects produced by the just administra-
tion of the laws and of the patronage of the Crown, upon
the state of Ireland, we have noticed with sincere gratifica-
tion in another article. Despite the factious proceedings of
the Tories, and the insulting tyranny of the House of
Lords, E trl Mulgrave has succeeded, by his wise policy
and his personal popularity—the reward of bland manners
and an unblemished integrity—in exorcising the spirit of
Repeal, and introducing into the heart of Ireland a love for
the British connection. But his Excellency, aided, of
course, by his Colleagues here and in Ireland, has pro-
duced a still more remarkable change in the aspect of Ire-
land. Europe does not at this moment present another
spot where good order is so prevalent, and where the laws
are so much respected and obeyed, as in Ireland. The land
offeud and riot—
" Where cowards and peacemakers seldom were seen,"
has become a land of peace and subordination. This is a
strange but yet a certain fact ; its truth cannot be ques-
tioned ; for the Judges of Assize—three-fourths of whom
are rancorous Tories, and not three of whom can properly
be called Liberal—have proclaimed the great moral revo-
lution. Every one of the Judges (now going circuit) has
congratulated the Grand Juries, especially in Leinster,
Munster, and Connaught, upon the paucity of alleged
crimes and the lightness of the offences. But such is the
distempered feeling even of the Judges—so thoroughly has
Tory bigotry and Tory spleen eaten up their hearts—that
only one Judge out of twelve has had the virtue to
assign the cause of this—to the friends of order most
grateful, but to Tory Judges and Tory place-hunters
most galling--change in the condition of Ireland. Ad-
dressing the Grand Jury of Limerick, Mr. Justice Perrin,
after congratulating them upon the extreme lightness
of the calendar, instanced the pleasing fact as a proof'
of the beneficial results of good government. This
is the only judicial approbation that has been
bestowed upon the Viceroy, whose admirable administra-
tion of the laws has produced that moral improvement
among the Irish peasantry which wrung a reluctant ac-
knowledgment from the ermined Tories of the Irish Bench.
From this fact the people of England can collect the true
character of the Irish Judges. It will also enable our
countrymen to understand why the Irish peasant hitherto
has been a contemner of the laws, and -a sceptic as to the
impartial administration of justice. Recognising in the
Judges active partisans of the foes of his civil and reli-
gious liberty, the Irish peasant, when he felt aggrieved,
took, the law of redress into his own hands ; and, when
punished for an offence, looked upon the infliction, not as
the just consequence of his guilt, but the penalty to be
paid for daring to be an anti-Tory and a Catholic. Now
the case is different. Confiding in the pure character of
the Viceroy—believing .in the possibility, nay, in the exis-
tence of good government—the Irish peasantry now for-
sake Captain Rock, and look for the redress •of their
grievances and wrongs at the hands of a paternal Admi-
nistration.—Morning Chronicle.
A protracted and rather warm discussion took place last
night in the House of Commons in Committee on the Stamp
Duties Bill. Some clauses of the original Bill were volun-
tarily omitted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
several amendments proposed, amongst which we may men-
tion that by Mr. Robinson, to the effect that the Stamp
Duties on Newspapers in England and Ireland should be
assimilated. The present Stamp Duty on Newspapers in
Ireland is two-pence, which it is proposed to reduce to three
farthings : the duty in England is four-pence, with a dis-
count of 20 per cent., which it is proposed to reduce to a
penny without any discount, thus giving to Ireland a reduc-
tion of I d., and to England a reduction of more than 2d. ;
the justice and expediency of which arrangement the House
of Commons confirmed by negativing Mr. Robinson's amend-
ment by a majority of 106 to 61, and adopting the original
clause by a majority of 104 to 76—a decision which has our
most perfect approbation ; for considering the ,relative
wealth of the two countries, or rather the poverty of Ire-
land, not alone as contrasted with the wealth of England,
but absolute in itself, it would be most unjust to equalize
the burthen otherwise than in proportion to the relative ca-
pability of each country to sustain it ; and no one at all
acquainted with the condition of society in the two portions
of the empire, but must admit that the readers of news-
papers in England are better able to bear a duty of one
penny than the same class in Ireland are a duty of three
farthings. If not, the present duty has been most unfairly
apportioned, and gross- partiality has been evinced towards
Ireland ; but this, we imagine, is the last accusation that
can be laid to the charge of Tory policy. The reduction,
however, is decidedly in favour of England, and however it
might advance our individual interest to be able to com-
pete on equal terms with Irish newspapers in the sister
country, yet as a matter of impartial justice, we fully coin-
cide in the result of the division. It will be time enough to
talk of
,placing Ireland under equal taxation when she is
admitted to equal political rights. The real motives of
the supporters of the assimilation of duties were two-
fold ; first, to embarrass the Government, and next to sup-
press as much as possible the expression of public opinion
in Ireland. Their intention was not to reduce the Stamp
Duty in England to three farthings, but to raise that of
Ireland to one penny, for, on a subsequent division, the
very Members who supported the penny duty in Ireland,
ranged themselves on the side of Ministers in opposing the
allowance of a discount on the penny duty in England,
which clearly showed that their object was not an equaliza-
tion of the Stamp Duties, but the limitation of political
and general intelligence. In both cases their principle of
action was the same—the prevention of the progress of
knowledge. When the people are to be taxed or oppressed,
they contend that Ireland is to share an equal portion of
the burden—when rights are to be extended, Ireland is
denounced as unqualified for their enjoyment. The clause
for holding printers of newspapers responsible for the
advertisement-duty was omitted. The Chancellor of
the Exchequer, however, stated that having commu-
nicated with the officers superintending the Stamp
Department, he had come to the determination
that, if any printer, regularly registered, issued, an un-
stamped paper, lie would be served with notice to desist ;
but if an unregistered printer committed any violation of
the law, he should at once be liable to prosecution. The
word pamphlet is to be omitted in the Act, and the liability
to the Stamp-duty is not to be affected by the shape, but
the contents of a publication. The right of entry into
private houses suspected to contain unstamped papers is to
')e vested in the Crown-officers, after having received
sworn informations. Mr. Grote subsequently brought. for-
ward his proposition for making the adoption of distinctive
dies compulsory on the proprietors of newspapers. This
was opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on
the grounds that the state of Newspaper property should
be as free from inquisition as that of any other ; but he
stated that if the House dissented from his views in
4)i-a -regard, he_shouldstakeaneasurea for jhe introuctio if
the clause on the bringing up of the Report. Mr. Gou -
burn's proposition, that the size of a newspaper should be
determined by the extent of its printed matter, exclusive of
the margin, was acceded to. We shall not pursue the
current of the debate any farther ; but we cannot omit this
opportunity of stating that the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer evinced throughout the whole of the debate a most
complete knowledge of the subject under discussion, as well
as a most liberal leaning towards the interest of the Press ;
and that considering the opposition which he had to en-
counter from the Tory side of the House, it would have
much better have become his Radical friends to have helped
him through his difficulties, than to have embarrassed him
by the introduction of what we cannot help terming useless
and illiberal innovations.—Morning Advertiser.
The proceedings of last night in the House of Commons,
on the subject of newspaper regulations, are, upon the
whole satisfactory. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has
relieved us, and those of our contemporaries who are simi-
larly situated, from the necessity of -altering the form in
which we have been accustomed to appear before the
public, by consenting to take his measurement of 1,530
superficial inches for the size of newspapers, without in-
cluding the margin, or those vacant spaces in a printed
sheet, the precise dimensions of which must depend, not
upon the newspaper proprietor, but upon the paper manu-
facturer. The example is rather a remarkable one, as a
proof of the information which Finance Ministers, especially
those of the class to which the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer belongs, may derive upon points apparently the
most simple and obvious from persons who know something
of the matters with which Finance Ministers have occa-
sionally to deal. We have great pleasure in awarding to
Mr. Spring Rice upon this occasion the praise of docility,
while to some Conservative Members of the House of Com-
mons, particularly to Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Goulburn,
our deeper gratitude is due for having qualified themselves
to be instructors of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Other alterations of considerable importance, but of less
unequivocal advantage, were made last night in the Minis-
terial Bill. All the proprietors of a newspaper are hence-
forth to be registered at the Stamp Office. There is to be
a distinct die for the stamp of each paper—a regulation
which was supported by Sir Robert Peel, and which we en-
tirely approve, inasmuch as it will put an end to the practice,
