LICHFIELD, September 20, 1827.—Gentlemen—
impelled by a sense of gratitude for the remarkable cure I
have received by the use of your invaluable Antiscorbutive Drops,
I forward you the particulars of my case, that others who may be
similarly afflicted, may know where to apply for relief. For
twenty years I bad a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my
arms, legs, and back of my neck, attended with the most Intolera-
ble itching and smarting. I tried various remedies, and had the
advice of medical men in this city, but all to no purpose ; the dis-
ease increased to such a degree as to destroy my test at night, my
appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of recovery.—
Being recommended to give your Antiscurbutic Drops a trial, I
purchased a small bottle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this
city, and, after taking five small bottles, to my great astonish-
ment, as well as that of my family, the complaint was entirely
eradicated; and I am now able to follow my business, which be-
fore I was incapable of attending to. It will give me pleasure to
answer any enquiries, either personally, or if by letter, post paid.
I remain your obedient Servant,
JOHN SMITH,

TAXATION.

LEATHER DUTIES.
The Earl of ROSEBERY, when presenting a petition from the
tanners and carriers of Linlithgow, praying the remission of the
tax on leather, said that he entirely concurred in the sentiments ex.
pressed by the petitioners. He thought it advisable to repeal the
Act which imposed duties on leather. The portion of the taxes on
thatuticle which had been removed had not benefitted the community
so much as might have been anticipated, and he was inclined to be-
lieve the reason why such a result had not followed was because
the penalties and restrictions of the old Act remained in force. The
benefit had fallen into the hands of the great capitalists in the leather
trade, a circumstance, he was persuaded, never contemplated or in.
tended by the Legislature.
The Earl of lIIALIIIESBURY remarked that the public did not
derive that advantage from diminution of taxation, when that cc.
curred, to the extent that many persons imaginal. Ile recollected
a duty of three shillings on hats being taken off by the administra-
tion at the time that Mt. Pitt was premier and he (the noble earl)
went to his hat-maker, congratulating him i on the probability that
lance hats would be sold in consequence. What was the answer
did their lordships think? " Why," said the hat-manufacturer,
" I have heard with great satisfaction what you tell me, but we
were just going to raise the price of hats, in consequence of some
advance in part of the material ; they will, however, now remain at
the same price." The price of a hat was, even at the present mo-
ment, one shilling higher than at the period alluded to, when the
duty of 3a. had been as he had just stated, taken off. He was per.
suaded that the public did not derive that advantage from the re.
mission of taxation which they had an undoubted right to expect.
This, of itself, was one important reason why taxes should not
be imposed. Was leather, he would take the liberty of asking their
lordships any lower for the partial reduction which had recently
taken plate on that article? Did they perceive any diminution in
the price of their shoes, or any thing connected with the consump-
tion of leather? There was no reason why the public should not
reap an advantage from the removal of a tax, but on the contrary.
It, however, happened that the consumer did not benefit to the ex-
tra he had a reason to anticipate. Instead of the benefit reaching
the consumer, it stopped in media via. He wished, however, to
uy that it was not the cue with the removal of duties on every
article. For instance, great advantages had Hewed to persona en-
tragrd in agricultural pursuits from
the remission of the duties on
salt. (Hear)
The Earl of ROSEBERY explained.
Earl STANHOPE wished to see municipal regulations with re.
spect to articles of general consumption adopted in this country.
The old laws had not neglected this important branch of govern.
molt. There were many evih prejudicial to the consumer belong.
al to the monopolies which existed, without any proportionate
blndis• lie agreed with what his noble friend had jinn stated,
that 3n Mary cases reduction of taxation had not benefitted the con-
-ew legislative measures were wanted on the subject to
which he had first called the attention of the house.
The petition was then read, and laid on the table.
JEWISH EMANCIPATION.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—My lords, I hold in my
hand a petition, numerously signed by all the respectable Indivi. duals In Liverpool of the Jewish persuasion, prayinc they may
enjoy all the civil rights which other subjects of his majesty enjoy.
This being the first opportunity of stating my sentiments on this
subject, I
beg to my, my lords, that I know of no reason, either connected with the faith of this peculiar body of people, or the con.
duct they have uniformly exhibited, which ought to preclude them
front the benefits which were wisely extended, the last sesaionof Por-
tant, to other classes of his majesty's subjects, who had been so
