STIRLING'S FAMILY STOMACH PILLS, FOR

HEALTH AND LONGEVITY.

AN eminent Medical Writer has remarked,
and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute,
that those who are attentive to keeping the Stomach and
Bowels in proper order, preserve health, prevent disease, and
generally attain cheerful and healthy old age ; for that truly
desirable purpose, these pills are particularly adapted, being
prepared with the sulphate of quinine, and the most choice.
stomachic and aperient drugs of the materia medica.—
They have for many years proved superior to every other
medicine in the cure of stomach and liver complaints, in-
digestion, sensation of fulness and oppression after meals,
habitual costiveness, flatulence, shortness of lanfatli, stoinac
coughs, spasms, worms in children and grown persons, ear
all disorders incident to the stomach and bowels. They
are also truly efficacious in the cure of colds, :tents, rheu-
matism, gout, jaundice, dropsy, and gravel, and an excel-
lent restorative after any excess or too free indulgence at
the table, as they gemly purge and cleanse the bowels,
•trengthen the stomach, improve digestion, exhilarate
the spirits, induce a he thy action of the liver, and invi-
gorate the whole constitution. Females who value good
health should never be without them, as they purify the
hi"orls remove obstructions, and give the skin a clear,
healthy, and blooming appearance. Persons of a plethoric
habit who are subject to giddiness, dimness of sight, drow-
siness, or have too great a flaw of blood to the head,
should take them frequently. They are so mild and gentle
in their action that children and persons of all ages may
take thein at any time, as they do not contain mercury or
any ingredient that requires confinement or restriction of
diet, nor can their virtues be impaired by time or change
of climate. They should be kept in every family as a re-
medy in case of sudden illness, for by their prompt admi-
nistration cholera morbus, cramps, spasms, fevers, and
other alarming complaints may be speedily cured or pre-
vented. To desvrihe all their excellent properties and the
cures they have performed would fill volumes, and exceed
credibility ; suffice it to say, there is scarcely any disease
they will not either prevent or cure, and none in which
they can possibly do harm.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION-GREAT MEET-

ING AT UXBRIDGE.

Yesterday, pursuant to previous notice, a public
meeting was hell at the School-house, in the
Market-place at Uxbridge, to meet Mr. Hume, their
aresent Member. The hour of meeting was fixed
For four in the afternoon, arid uotwithstanding the
onfavourab!e state of the weather, the room was
crowded to excess in a very few minutes after the
welling of the doors. We should think not less
than 1,500 persons were present, the greater part
of whom appeared to be substantial farmers, gentle-
men, and respectable tradesmen.
Great excitement prevailed in consequence of
Lord Henley having declared himself a candidate.
Various placards were posted about the town arid
its neighbourhood. The Address of Lord Henley
excited particular attention on account of its vague-
ness, The Tories atempted to make a s•rong mus-
ter at the meeting. Amongst others, we noticed
Colonel Greville, Messrs. Parkinson, &c.
Shortly after four Mr. Hume and his friends en-
tered, and were received with deafening cheers.
T. T. CLARKE, Esq., of S wakely, took the Chair.
Mr. HUME rose, and said, for eighteen years had
he been before the public. For fifteen of those years
he had represented his native town in Scotland, and
the various boroughs connected therewith. In that
country corruption had made as much, or, perhaps
more, progress than in any other part of the empire;
and it was not, therefore, surprising that wealth and
power were both leagued against him, and that
every art was resorted to, though in vain, to pre-
vent his election. That being the case, he held it
to be his duty, as he thought it was the duty of all
representatives who were accountable to those who
elected them, to come forward before his consti-
tuents and render a just and true account of his
stewardship.—(Loud cheers.) The man who could
not appear and face his constituents at all times,
had something to fear, had something with which
to blame himself, and was unworthy of their confi-
dence.—(Applause.) Until he was elected for
Middlesex, it had been his practice annually, or as
often as lie cetild after the lebours of each Session,
to visit his constituents, who were scatter, d amongst
five large boroughs. He went to meet them, no:
in holes and corners, but called public meetings in
every town, and then gave them au account of the
manner in which he had performed the trust which
they lied bestowed on him ; and if any man present
(and that was al-ca the object of his visit to them
that day) had any fault to find with any one single
act of his, there was lie to answer him, and here
(said the Hon. Member)—here am I now to do the
same thing.—(Great cheering.) Nay, he would go
further; for if arty man had any fault to find with
him for what he had not done, he felt himself bound
to be, and was, as ready to answer for acts of omis-
sion as well as of commission.—(Hear, hem-, hear.)
Every man present was at perfect liberty to interro-
gate him ; whether he had a vote or not, lie did not
care.—(Hear.) Every man who had an interest in
the country (and who had not ?) might interrogate
him, and he was there, ready and willing, to answer.
—(:Much cheering.) He should be ashamed to
say that he had been fifteen years in Parliament and
was not prepared to give an answer on the Corti
Laws, the 'lithe System, Slavery, or any great
question which had come under men's considera-
tion. He quarrelled with no man, whatever his
opinions of his conduct might be; he held no man to
lie his enemy, for he was the enemy of no man.—
(Bravo, that's true Christian feeling.) Why he was
a Reformer, and why he had adopted the course he
had for so many years laboriously, arid he was sorry
to say with so little progress, and yet riot without
progress, for each successive year increased his ex-
pec;ation of that great change which had just taken
place, he would briefly state :—His experience in
the House of Commons told him, that whilst that
House continued unreformed, it was in vain to look
for any change—that without (in the workman's
phrase) different tools and materials, it was impos-
sible to expect any beneficial change in the system
of Government. In 1790, when a strong feeling in
favour of Reform was growing up amongst the peo-
ple of England, the debt amounted to 230,000,0001,
and it was then said by some of the wisest
and best of men, that England could not exist under
the continuance of that system. The then Govern-
ment feeling that this growing spirit of intelligence and
inquiry would prove destructive of the power which
they had monopolized, plunged the country into
war, the consequence of which was, that our debt
had increased to upwards of 800,000,0001.—(Hear.)
The enormous expenditure of the country was
wrung omit of the hard earnings of industry and the
fair profits of capital, the war party became para-
mount, and taxation, instead of being limited by the
necessary expenditure, was limited only by the power
of exaction.—(" True.") The money so raised was
employed in such a manner, that it was impossible
any man cauld have gone into this House of Com-
mons, and not at once declare, that in justice to the
people, such a state of things ought no longer to
continue. Such changes he had always sought to
accomplish. In 1792 they found no difficulty it,
carrying on the Government with an expenditure of
sixteen millions yearly, one million of which was ap-
propriated to the payment of the capital, nine and
half millions to the payment of the interest, and the
remaining five and a half to the Civil List; but
in 1815, at the termination of the war, the ex-
penses of the country had increased to twenty-seven
millions, and the interest of the debt to twenty-nine
and a half millions.—(Hear.) He saw the coun-
try was in danger of being degraded and destroyed—
he saw the working of that system led to nothing
taut the most overwhelming ruin, and that the only
remedy was to cut down those abuses with an un-
flinching arid unsparing hand. Was it then to be
wondered at that numbers of enemies shoul rise up
against the man who proposed to sweep away all
unnecessary pensions and sinecures—to abolish all
useless establishments—to put an end to that system
by which three were employed to do the work of
one, arid under which salaries of thousands were
given where hundreds would have been an ample
recompence ? lie was assailed on every hand—
not, indeed, by the people, but by those who de-
rived splendid incomes for themselves, and provided
for their families out of the public purse.—(Cheers )
He had now described to them the main principles
of his conduct; it would be unnecessary to enter into
details. Fifteen years' observation of his conduct
would be a sufficient surety to them.—(Cheers.)
He had always sought to reduce taxation and ex-
penditure—to lessen the burthens upon in-
dustry—and to destroy every species of monopoly.
He now came to a question to which the Chair-
man had alluded. It was true that Lord Henley
professed to be a Church Reformer. He might be
one, but he had come in at the eleventh hour.—
(Hear.) He (Hr. Hume) had brought the subject
before the House so far back as 1821. He had at
that time pointed oust the Church system as a nui-
sance that ought to be put down. On that occasion
he was set upon as though he had been a mad dog
—(a laugh)—but that did not deter him from pro-
ceeding to bring forward his motion, calling upon
the House of Commons to acknowledge a principle,
was now admitted by men of all parties—even
by Bishops on theßench—namely, that Church pro-
perty was public property, and at the disposal of the
Legislature for all purposes of religion, education, or
morals.—(lmmense cheering.) What could be
more revolting to a man who reflected upon the
object of Christianity, and the humble and
pious spirit by which Its pastors ought to be
animated, than to behold clergymen rolling In

stantly within his own parish,espun out his existence

penter.—(Applause.) Nciaman was more anxious
to support the institutions of the country than him-
self; he had been called a leveller, but he had to()
great a stake in
.the country to suffer any reasonable
man to suppose that he would risk his own end
family's property upon such improper speculations.
lie 'ii ished King, Lords, and Commons, each to
have its due preponderance, and the rights of each
NO), preserved. He was not so sanguine as to ex-
pect sound judgment from every elector; time
would, doubtless, be necessary to teach them their
duties. But the great remedy for this was
eltication. It was by means of education alone that
men learned to control their passioes—to act with
discretion—and to become useful members of so-
ciety. Education paved the way to change, and all
violent alterations were thus avoided. Reform,
indeed, to be beneficial should be gradual. These he-
ll% his principles, how unjust then were the accusations
made arrainat h ? Another class of men who ex-
claimed against his proceedings were the sinecurises;
and why ? because he sought to abolish their sim.
cures.—(Hear, hear.) A !arse and powerful elms
of his opponeivs were amongst the clergy,—
(" Don't go at them again"—a 14ugh.)
was necessary that he should.—(" Thar's rig'e—
give it them.") Tine Hon. Member then drew a
eemparison between the manner in which the ellie:s
of the Church were fulfilled in Scotland, and Dig-
land, and Ireland; and declared his determination
never to cease his hostility to the abuses of the two
latter till he had placed them on a proper footing.—
(Cheers.) This it was had made the clergy exert
themselves to prevent his return. But if. it wgs ti,e -
interest of certain parties to support these various
abuses, he had consolation in one reflection-that it
was the interest of the people to put them down,
arid he called on them for their support in his err-
eeavours to accomplish that purpose.—(" You shall
kave it.") The Hun.- Member then proceeded to
comment on the address of Lord Henley, and said
he should have much Eked to see the requisition to
which it purported to he an answer. He shoeld
like to know what the Noble Lord was asked to do,
for, from his answer, it was quite impossible to say
what he meant to do.—(..k laugh.) He reprobated
with great warmth the proceedings that were taking
place in Ireland with regard to tithe. It was shock-
ing to think that petits of artillery and regiments of
soldiers should be sent for the purpose of exacting,
from the ueoffending cultivators of the soil the ss,
and 10s. due to the parson. This was to convert a
religion which promised, as its highest ble-sings,
peace and good-will, into an instrument ef blood-
shed, opprtssion, and civil war. The tithes in Erg-
arid and Ireland ought to be abolished, and a com-
mutation substituted.— (Tr emendous cheers.) There
would be no dfficulty in valu ng the tithe by means
of a July. He now came to the consideration of
the two great monopolic,—the Bank Charter reel
the East India trade. He hat no ddlieulty in de-
claring himself opposed to all monopolies, and in
expressing it to be his belief that now the great
monopoly in creating Members of Parliamerit was
done away with, the ether tremor evils of (hat descrip-
tion ought at once to cia.e. With respect to the
East India monopoly, his opinions were well known,
fur, notwithstanding he was a proprietor of Ea
India Sock, and thus in some degree interested ire
its continuance, yet lie would not in this instance
swerve from the line of duty or of principle, nor let
private interest sway his public conduct.—(Cheers.)
He had already evinced his determination to give
his vote against the further monopoly of the China
Tea Trade, and e bast so doing, he was prepared to
prove by incontestible documents the fact, that for
every shilling the Company gained by it, they were
t weety shillings out of pocket. The lease, there-
fore, of both this Charter and of the Bank of Ent;-
land Charter being very nearly expired, Ire had no
doubt they would be dealt with by the Reformed
Parliament in a manner that would confer the greatest
advantage on the country. With respect to the
currency, he would at once declare that he was for
a metallic currency. He certainly had opposed the
withdrawal of the 11. notes from circulation, and be
did so, because he was of opinion that they had, par-
ticularly in Scotland, been very serviceable to
the community. But he must now declare, the:
the nation having, by Mr. Peel's Bill of 1819, re-
turned to a metallic currency, and having by that
measure raised the value of the circulating medium,
it ought not again to be altered, as the evil was
done. At the same time, it was but just that the
salaries which attached to the discharge of the
public business, having had the advantage of the in-
creased value of the currency, ought to be re-
duced to the same relative amount at which they
were pieced in the depreciated circulating medium.
Ile would take that opportunity of stating it to be
his opinion, with reference to the duration of Parlia-
ment, that the Septennial Act ought to be rce
pealed ; the average duration of Parliaments WitS
certainly no mere, in the long-run, than four
years and two or three months ; but he was not
prepared to give any man a lease of Iris liberties for
so long a period as seven, or even four years ; ate!
what he would propose was, that triennial Puha-
ments ought to be instituted, by which means the •
fair average of their duration, taking into the con-
sideration the chances of death, change of Ministry,
ond other casualties, would not exceed two years.
Annual Parliaments, he was inclini dto think, would •
be inconvenient, because there was always a certain
amount of routine business attendant upon a newly-
elected Parliament, which necessarily occupied it
considerable portion of its time, arid consequently
the public business was postponed; but triennial
Parliaments would obviate this inconvenience, and
yet give the people a fair chance of controlling their
representatives, or of placing others, more efficient
and better suited to them. Tire next question which
came before him was the very important one affee t-
nig the agricultural interests, which was known by
the name of tine Corn Law Question. In 1827 and
1828, he submitted to the House of Commons a
proposition, by which a virtual repeal of those laws
would have been effected, and a free trade in corn
gradually brought into operation. He had pur-
sued this gradual policy with respect to the alte-
ration in the Corn Laws, because the condition of -
all the manufacturing, agricultural, and commercial
interests in this country was entirely artificial, and
the farmer was consequently obliged to make his
bargains for the sale of his produce and the tenure
of his lands conditional on the permanence of that
artificial state of the industrious and commercial
classes. But his opinion, nevertheless, was, that
ill trades of every description ought to be free and
unshackled, and ought to be put upon the same
tooting. He must, however, declare that he could
thendrn
not grapple with

to say was, that he conscientiously believed in tine
benefits to be derived from a free trade in that im-
portant article, and that he would honestly examine
the question, and act upon the best judgment that
Cie could form upon it.—(Cheers.) In the law agent,
tie must declare it to be his unchangeable beliet that
a great and thorough change must be effected—hi
the Court of Chancery, for distance, where it w.a
proverbial that a mall who once got entangled in the
meshes of a Chancery suit, seldom found his w,ty
out, and the expense was beyond all proportion to
the labour performed. But one of the principal
grounds of objection was the delay which waited
upon the proceedings of that Court. He was sorry
Lord Henley was not there to instruct theta
a little as to the operations of this Court, of which
he was a Member. He had had the honour of sit-
ting with him as Mr. Eden for several years in Par-
liament, and he could not tax his memory with one
single instance in which be had had the honour of
voting Oil the same side as that gentleman, and yet
