FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

IN this Preparation are concentrated all the
Medicinal Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to
a perfect - Saturation of the Menstruuni with which it is pre-
pared. To such Persons, therefore, who, from various causes,
would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would
be utterly impossible to prepare the 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.
The Diseases in which it has proved most beneficial
are those of the Skin, such as Scorbutic Affections, Erup-
tive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a dis
eased State of the System at large. It is taken in Water,
rendering it of the same strength as the Decoction.
Sold in Bottles, at 4s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. by Butler, Chemist,

street; 9-20, Regent.street; and by the principal Medicine-
Vendet s throughout the United Kingdom.
o„4t Be careful to ask for "Butler's Fluid Extract of Sar-
saparilla."

PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 29.

Mr. CAMPBELL and others from the Commons brought up
the Glasgow Gas Bill and several other Private Bills.
Mr. Adrian, from the Treasury, presented some Accounts
of the Spec* Superannuation Allowances.
Lord COLCHESTER presented a 'petition from the Corpo-
ration of the), City of Oxford, praying that no farther conces-
sions might be granted to the Catholics.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition from
certain Inhabitants of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, against the
Equitable Loan Bill.
Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from a number of
persons, who had lost their property by a fire in Blackburn_
street, Saffron-hill, having destroyed the place where their
pledges were deposited—in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill.
He could not say the petition was from for y.five persons, for
only two of them were able to write their own names. He was
not exactly prepared to support the prayer of the petition, but
he understood from the Gentleman who had put the petition
into his hands, that the case of the petitioners was a very hard
one. They had first paid two hundred per cent. for the use
of the money they had borrowed, and then the fire had involved
them in ruin. This was a case of distress, and he thought it
his duty to lay the petition on their Lordships' table, but he
was not prepared to encroach on the principle by legislative in-
terference of allowing people to employ their own property as
was best suited to themselves.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, the Pawnbrokers had
reduced the rate of interest.

Earl GROSVENOR said, he had a petition to present from
an individual praying their Lordships to put a stop to all cruelty
to animals, and to all cruel experiments. He wished it to be
distinctly understood that he was not now prepared to support
the prayer. The time might come when he should find it his
duty to agree to some legislative provision. He was not one of
those persons who was disposed to treat this matter lightly,
neither was he prepared to go the whole length of legislating to
put a stop to experiments on living animals by professional men.
He knew that such experiments bad been productive of con-
siderable benefit, and had led to some important discoveries.
Experiments of this kind had led (Mr. Brodie we understood)
to that knowledge which now enabled a skilful surgeon to take
up the aorta, and save valuable lives. By such experiments
professional men had learnt to take the thigh bone out of the
socket, and perform several other most important and useful,
though delicate, difficult and dangerous operations. In that
part of the country with which he was more especially connect-
ed, he was sure no cruel experiments had been made for several
years ; and yet a petition had been got up there against cruel
experiments. He would repeat before sitting down, that though
he was not nqw prepared to support any legislative measure for
putting a total stop to cruel, sports, and forbidding cruel experi-
ments' he did not know that the time might not come when he
should be ready to give his support to a law for these purposes.
The Noble Earl in conclusion said, there was something in the
petition of which he did not approve, and he would, therefore,
mit submit it to their Lordships.
Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from certain Inhabi-
tants of Margate, agzunst the Bill for Lighting the Town of
Margate with was.

On the rnotipti of Lord MELVILLE, the Report of the
Committee on the Scotch Judicature 'Bill was ordered to
be received with the Amendments, and the Bill to be en-
grossed.
The Earl of SIIAFTESBURY
_presented a petition from
the Inhabitants of the Parish of All Saints, Fulham, against
the Equitable Loan Bill—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
WEST INDIA COMPANY.
Mr. MANNING moved the second reading of the West
India Company'Bill.
Dlr. BUXTON opposed the Bill, not because he objected to
the principle, of creating Joint Stock Companies, but on the
ground of its involving a revolting traffic in our fellow-crea•
tuxes. , He moved as an amendment, that the Bill te read a
sedond.time that day six months.
Mr. ROBERTSON supported the Bill, and expressed his
surprize that the Honourable Member for Weymouth (Mr.
Buxton), WIRS had been the great champion of all those Joint
Stock:Companies which had been lately established, to the op-
pression and injury of our fellow-subjects at home, should op-
pose the present measure, which was likely to afford great
assistance to. the Colonial Interest; on the ground of his feel-
ing an excessive sympathy for the Negro population of the
West Indies.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON supported the Bill.
Mr. HUME could not conceive what well-founded objection
could be made to the Bill.
Mr. W. SM ITH opposed the Bill, as creating a monopoly of
a most dangerous kind.
Mr. ELLICE supported the Bill.
After a few words from Mr. URN and Mr. MANNING, the
amendment was negatived without division, and the Bill was
read a second time.
