FRAMPTON'S PILL OP HEALTH.
Price Is. I%d._per box.

This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common
symptoms of which are costiveness, Aatnlency. spasms, loss of appe-
tite, sick head-ache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness
of the eyes, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels In-
digestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent inac-
I of the bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of
the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perse-
verance, be effectually removed. Two or three ;Wes will convince
the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain
its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will
rapidly take place; and, instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun-
diced appearance, strength, activity, sino renewed health, will be the
quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions ac-
companying each box ; and if taken attar too free an indulgence at
table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
Verson.; of a full habit, who) are subject to head-ache, giddiness,
drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a flew 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 most truly excellent, removing all ob-
structions ; the distressing Head-ache, so very prevalent with the
sex ; depression of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections,
blotches, pimples, aad sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy and
juvenile bloom to the complexion.
As a pleasant, safe, easy aperient, they unite the recommendation
of a mild operation with the met successful effect, and require no
restraint of diet or confinement during their use; and for Elderly
People they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hi-
therto prepared.

_fp of the ancient
house of Percy, taking rank 'immediately before the Dupe
Wellington.• But though the deceesed Peer did not stand
high in the roll of his order, fortune bestowed upon him per-
haps as long a rent-roll. and estates more ample and less en-
cumbered, than belonged to any member of the English axis..
tocracy. The deceased Peer was one of two twins ; he never
possessed a robust n onstitution, and he did not attain' a varyadvanced period of life. His Grace was born on the 17th of
April, 178.5, and at the time of his death had, therefore,,not
completed his sixty-second year. At a very early age the
Duke, then hearing the courtesy-title of Earl Percy, went
to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took the de-
gree of A.M. in 1803, and that of LL.D. in 1809. Eery
reader will be -prepared to learn that a man of his
rank obtained a seat in the. House of Commons iinme-

diately on his • attaining sufficient age to qualify him
for that trust. Buckingham was the first place whidh had
the honour of being represented by the future Duke of
Northumberland. As a p ditician he enjoyed all the merits
of
consistent}ntain the

e sbeetgaledia lifeas a
supporter of the Protestant constitution, and every vote and

of athildesea
realms as it existed when his own political career commenced;
he was, however, by no means indifferent tosocial ameliorations ;
the poor on his own estates were carefully provided for, and
his sympathies with suffering humanity even extended to the
African negro ; for we find that his maiden speech, delivered
in the House of Commons on the 2d of February, 1806, was
for theaort'
that of an earnest advocate b
•ion of the e slave trade.
The death of Mr. Fox took place very soon after the lateDake
entered the House otCommons,and that much laniented event
created a vacancy in the representation of 'Westminster.
which Lord Percy was elected to fill. As member for that
most iniportant city he continued to sit only till the next
general election. To the surprise of the quidnuncs, he did
not again present himself to the constituency of Westminster.
but came iu for, the borough of Launceston, where his family
interest commanded a predominating influence. In •1807 he
was returned without any contest for the county of Nor-
thumberland, and continued to be its representative until
very near the close of the Perceval Administration. It was
on the 17th of March, 1812, five years before the death of
his father, that Lord Percy was summoned by writ to the
Upper House. The records of the representative branch' of
the Legislatere present no striking evidences of his industry
as a politician or his talents as a statesman. He was a man
whose intellect and attainments procured for him a very
moderate degree of respect, and nothing could be more ob-
vious than that if he had not been "born great" he was not
very likely to have " achieved greatness." When the sub-
ject of this 'memoir wasayoung man the -dread** foreign.
invasion led to a very extensive armament of yeomanry
and volunteers. The s• force which bore the desig-
nation of the Percy tenantry deserved to be called
almost •an army. ft comprehended a body of horse
artillery, • six troops of cavalry, and seventeen compa-
nies of infantry, which were clothed, appointed, and main-
tained at the expense of the second Duke. The command
of this force was entrusted to the then Lord Percy. That
he was popular with that corps will readily be supposed, and
C.em is nothing very extraordinary in the fact, that on his
el,vatii,n to the House of i'eers, the regiment of the Percy
,eaantry presented him with a superb sword. From the time

utation of great geiod
sense, mach and many accomplishments,
she was. at the proper time, appointed governess
to the Clutsfii, which r ffi :e she held until her
Majesty reached that to ri,tl of life which rendered
such services superfluous. AlthJugh Lady Charlotte
Clive, in due time Duchess of Northumberland,' was
well born and well dowered, 3 et-there can be no doubt that
for any lady in this land an alliance with the Lord of Aln-
wick Castle would he a signal advancement in life, for no
man enjoyed higher titles, more superb residences, or finer
estates. lie was to be Duke and Earl of Northumberland,
Earl and Baron Percy, Baron Lucy, Poynings, Fitzpayne,
Bryan, Latimer, and Warkworth. He was to be the owner
of 7Alnwick, Warkworth, and Keilder Castles, in the county
of Northumberland, of Werrington Park, in Cornwall, and of
Sion House, in Middlesex. He was, through his maternal
descent, the representative of the old Earls of Northumber-
land—of that Manfred, the Dane, who made irruptions into
France in the ninth century, and whose posterity, settling in
Normandy, took their name from the domain of Percy,
in that province. William de Percy, with his brother
Serie, accompanied William the Conqueror to Eng-
land, and obtained from that monarch a grant
of 86 manors in Northumberland, and 32 in Lincolnshire,
and of course became a baron. The ninth in succession from
him was created Lord Percy of Alnwick, and the fourth
Lord Percy was, at the coronation of Richard IL, advanced
to the Earldom of Northumberland, with a barony in fee
transmissible to heirs female as well as male. The eleventh
Earl of Northumberland died without male issue in 1670 rho
had an only daughter, who became his sole heiress, and she
succeeded to the baronial honours only. The sixth Dake.of
Somerset became her husband, and their eon, the seventh
Duke of Somerset, having been summoned to Parliament as
Baron Percy, was created Earl of Northumberland, with
remainder, in case he had no male issue, to his son-in-law,
Sir Hugh Smithson, Bart., who had married his Grace's
daughter, the Lady Elizabeth Seymour, and who in due
course succeeded to the Earldom on the demise of the Duke
in 1750, obtaining in the same year an Act of Parliament to
allow himself and his Countess to assume the arms and
name of Percy. His Lordship was created Duke of
Northumberland on the 22d of October, 1766. The
Stnithsons are an old Yorkshire family, the first baronet of
the line receiving his title on the 2d of August, 1660. Hugh,
ilte second Duke, eldest son of the first, married a sister of
the Earl of Bute, by whom he had no family, and from
whom he was divorced. Secondly, he espoused Frances
Julia, third daughter of Peter Burrell, Esq., of Beckenham,
in the county of Kent. These were the parents of the Noble -r
Duke whose life and character now engage our attention.
His twin sister was the Lady Agnes Percy, who married
Colonel Buller, of Penlynt, iu Cornwall. On the 10th of
July, 1817, the second Duke of the Smithson line paid the
debt of nature, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The
Noble Peer just deceased immediately . succeeded to the
honours and estates, which he lived to enjoy daring the long
period of thirty years. Of the House of Lords he *as by no
means a distinguished member. He usually voted or gave
hii proxy to the leader of the Tories for the time being; but
he scarcely ever took any part in the business or delibera-
tions of Parliament.

In the year 1825 Charles X. of France was crowned with
all the splendour and gaiety which mark every public cere-
monial in that country. Upon this memorable occasion the
Duke of Northumberland was appointed to represent the
Majesty of England. The expenses of that " embassy extra-
ordinary" where wholly defrayed from the Duke's private
purse; yet his superb equipages, and the magnificent array
of his attendants quite outshone the splendour displayed by
the Ministers of the Czar, or even by the representatives of
the Imperial Crown of Austria. But it is said that our Duke
could not utter a word of French, to the great horror of the
Parisians, who scarcely believed that a man possessed any
knowledge whatever who had neglected to cultivate their
own polished dialect. Neither could they be taught to
imagine that any subject of the British Crown possessed suf-
ficient wealth to render the expenses of such an embassy a
matter of trifling consideration. The amount of his Grace's
disbursements on this occasion may be estimated frOm.
the fact that Parliatnent doted a sum of 10,000/. to pur-
chase a diamond-hilted sword as a present to his Grace, in
order to mark their high sense of the manner in which
he ,bad maintained .-the -dignity' of 'his', fA'airepeign at
the French Court. In the year 1829 the Doke of
Northumberland was selected by the Duke of Welling-
ton to succeed the Marquis of Anglesey in the office of
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland ; the Duke, of course, gave hie
entire sanction to the Orange party, and was, therefoie,
viewed with aversion by the Roman Catholics, but he pos-
sessed neither the talent nor the energy to make himself
thuroughl, hated, and so he continued in a quiet sort of way
to administer the
.government of Ireland until Lord Grey
became First Minister, when the Noble Marquis whom he
had succeeded in turn replaced him. Although the Govern-
ment allowance to his Grace while Viceroy of Ireland was
reduced by 7,0001. a year, yet the splendour of the Viceregal
Court was rather increased than diminished daring his ad-
ministration.

His Grace bad for some time before his death been labour-
ing under the effects of influenza, but no apprehension was
entertained by his friends that the malady would terminate
fatally. On Thursday morning, however, one of his atten-
dants entered his sleeping apartment at the usual hour, and,
receiving no answer to his inquiries, became alarmed and
called in others of the domestics, when it was discoveredthat
the Duke (zion%"nnt-bisither to the de-
ceased Duke, and who, until the year 1816, was know by
the title of Lord Algernon Percy.— Times.

PRICE OF BREAD AND FLOUR.
During the present high price of all descriptions of provi-
sions it is important to ascertain whether the whole of the
price paid for broad is justly due to the enhanced value of
grain. For this purpose the following comparisons have been
made with the prices in Paris. in which place, as is well
known, the price of bread is fixed by law, according, to a
scale varying with the value of flour :—The highest price of
white wheat in Paris is 56f. per 1 hectolitre, which is equal
to 85s. 6d. per quarter; and the highest price of wheat of
the first quality in London being 80s. per quarter, it-follows
that fine wheat is 61 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
The highest price of flour of the first quality in Paris is
62f. 45c. per 100 kilogrammes, which is equivalent to 625. 6d.
nearly per sack of 2801 b. English weight; and the highest
price of town-made flour in London being 655. per sack,
it
tollows that flour is 4 per cent. dearer in London
r than.in
Paris. The price fixed in Paris for bread of the firer
loaf

is 51c. per kilogramme, which is equal to 83/11. p

The Conde de Montemolin visited the House of

way Bill proposed by Lord George Bentinck. The Conde
was attended by General Montenegro and Colonel Merry;
and during the progress of the debates many of the Mem-
bers who have had the honour of being presented to the
Col,de joined his party, and explained the proceedings of the

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.--The sup•

rience an animated demand for wheat at 4s. per quarter ad..

on barley, the quantity offering being quite inadequate to
the wan's of maltsters. Oats and shelling are more ready
of sale at rather better prices. Beans are Is. per quarter
