7t ADAM—Having experienced the blessed
Effects of your Syrup on Two of my Children, I beg
you to insert the case of One, on whom it had the most ex-
traordinary effects. My child, who is two years and a half
old, has been suffering under every species 44 debititv'ever
since it wits six mantbs old, ,owing to.the extreme•diflicnity
of cutting her teeth, so, much.so, that a total waste of flesh
and distortion of the'joints, rendered the child incapable of
being moved without a pillow, at the same time having irons
on her legs.o present their getting more distorted ; when,
directed by Providence, I was recommended to apply to you
for the Syrup, which, after using two or three days, my
child appeared to receive fresh life and strength, and how-
ever singular it may appear, after using only One Bottle of
the Syrup, I was enabled to take the irons from her legs,
and shortly after she became perfectly restored. Every in-
quiry as to thr truth of the above will .be cheerfully answer-
ed. by `your most obedient Servant,
Nu. 6, Ct own court, Picket t-st reet, F. SEAGER.
Temple Bar, May 4, 1820.
To be bad of the PrOprietors, Johnson and Williams, 94,

dicine Venders in Town and Country, at 2s. 9d. per Bottle.
N.B.—Mrs. JOHNSON relieves the Poor, as usual, at her
house, every Tuesdily.and Saturday morning, from Nine till
Teti &Clock, by bringing a Letter froin a respectable House-
keeper, to certify ihat they are real objects of charity.

NORTH-WEST PA AGE, MAGNETIC ATTRAC-
TION, 4T. c.—After the Greenland ships, North Pole and
William and Ann, of Leith, this year entered Davis' Straits,
they penetrated to 74° or 75° of lath ode, by the usual route,
up the east side of the Bay. As the season advanced, and
the sea became more clear of ice, the scarcity of fish induced
them to stand towards the west, in hopes of being more suc-
cessful. Some few days after, the land was seen to the west,
stretching front north to south, as far as the eve could reach,
with some small island or rocks, scattered before the coast,
where the fiskappeared in greater abundance. Prosecuting
the fishery, the ships were directed according\ to circum-
stances, when they reached an openinCMThparetttly about 30
or 35 miles in width, situated about 73. or 74° latitude 4 sup-
posed to he Lancaster Sound. Doting the time the ships re-
mained in this inlet,'straits, or bay, the compasses on board
both sloips were found, whenever they approached within 5 or
6 miles to the• north shore, which was high, rugged, stud
mountainous, to have lost entirely their magnetic virtue;
standing in any direction to which they were placed, without
indicating the least appearance of being attracted either the.
oti way otT.,, outer ; b.:443,:40trit aS the. ships strirojl-
iteTiirft!ti'tts tilistiince. (5 or 6 miles) front the land, towards the
middle of the straits, the compass needles again acquired their
usual power, and exercised it without apparent obstruction.
This phenomenon, of which the navigators were entirely ig-
norant, had nearly led the ships into scrions and alarining
consequences.—The William and Ann was thirty or forty
miles within the headlands forming Site entrance, into this
strait, bay, or inlet ; saw a clear passage to the N. W. as far
as the eye extended. Had 10 fathoms water, blue mud, 7
miles from the north shore, and 4 fathoms close in, where
most of the fish they procured were killed; - experienced a
long swell setting through front the N. W. with regular tides,
sometimes running 4 and 5 knots per hour.
LlTHOGRAPHY.—Mr.Sennefelder, the inventor''
of lithography, has found the means of dispensin, with the
stone. Re has invented a lithographic paper, fit for all me-
thods of printing.
,
7,AW-DUST INCREASES THE FORCE OF txUNPOW-
Deti.—M. Warnhagen has discovered that saw-dust, especi-
ally of wood of the softest kinds, mhfed with gun-powder in
equal sharesOriples the force of the powder. It is intended
to be used for the blowing Up of rocks.
NEW ANTIDOTE AGAINST POISONS.—The fruit
of the plant Feuillea cordifolia proves a powerful antidote
against vegetable poisons. 111. Drapiez poisoned dogs. with
the rims toxicodendron, heMlock, and nox vomica. Such of
them as were left to •the effects of the poison, died ; butt hose
to whom the above fruit was given recovered completely after
a short illness.

NEW VEGETABLE ALKALLES.---7-Tbe number of
vegetable alkalies is daily increasing, and chiefly by the. la-
hours of the German chemists. Atropia is the ingredient
which gives to the Atropa bellahonna its peculiar properties.
It crystallizes in long needli.s, is a brilliant v.hite, tasteless,
and little soluble in water and in alcohol. It withstands a
moderate heat; and forms regular salts with acids, neutra-
lizing a considerable portion of acid. Sulphate of atrop:-
contains sulphuric acid 36•52,•atropia 33'93, Water 24.55=100.
Atropia, mixed with potash and exposed to 'a
red heat, ._yieldsashes, which, when mixed with muriate ofiron, strike alively
red colour. Hyoscyama (the alkali extracted from the hyo-
scyanius niger) is not easily altered by heat, even when
brought to redness with charcoal. It crystallizes in long
prisms; and gives with sulphutic or with nitric acid very
characteristic salts.

HUMAN' LITIMLOGY.---As posthumous work of
Brugnatelli, Professor in the University, has been puhlished
at Pavia, with the title of " Hitnan LithologY," forming a
collection of chymical and medical researches, relative to the
stony substances found in the huMan body. This publica-
tion is the result of twenty years' labour, and merits the at-
tention not only of medical practitioners, b" of the curious
in general. it is embellished with plates, comprisinga large
collection of calculi, carefully stored by the author,. during
his "long practice. The different configurations orthese,
drawn out in their natural size, are stated to be taken with-
the greatest accuracy. Some. are shaped like a pin, others
like an ear.of corn, and some are ahoutthesize of a goose's
egg. To investigate the interior structure of the calculi, it
was necessary to cut some of them 'in the middle; an ope
ration which the author happily executed. • The designs in
the plates represent very distinctly, the gradual process of
stratification, in different layers, front the-surface to the
centre.

NEW VARIETY OF POTATO.--M. Lannekman,
a skilful gardener, has introduced into Ghent, from some fo-
reign country, a.potato of a 'species not known on the Conti-
nent., Having planted it, the crop produced 2,160 pounds of
potatoes, every stalk yielding fifteen or eighteen pounds. The
form is oblong, colour red, and quality excellent.

PARLIAMENT,
MOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY.

THE QUEEN.
[continuation of Yesterday's Proceedings.]
The following is the conclusion of Lord Gatos-
,
VENOR s Speech

He would now advert to the evidence given by
a respectable witness for the prosecution. Here
he must remark, that such a set of witnesses as
had been brought forward to support the Bill, he
had never in his life beheld before. Saying this,
he must add, for it was the truth, that he had
never seen a more respectable body of persons
4r0duc.,44 in a Court of Justice than the witnesses
ror'the4lePence There was abont them a man-
liness of deportment, a readiness of reply, that
carried conviction of their integrity—while there
was something peculiarly unfavourable in the ap- '
pearance of those on the other side, which could
not but strike the impartial ohserver. One of
the two respectable witnesses produced on the
part of the prosecution, Captain Briggs, had
given evidence which, in his opinion, was much
in favour of her Majesty. Did they hear that
Captain Briggs had any suspicion that an adul-
terous intercourse was carried on between her
Majesty and Bergami while thdy were on board
his ship ? No. Distinctly no : and what was re-
markable was, that there she was described to
have so managed that the cabin of 'Bergami should
be near that in which her Royal
.Highness slept.
If their Lordships looked to the evidence, they
would find that it was almost impossible that an
adulterous intercourse could have been carried on
there without its being known, and the Queen
must have been aware of this when she di-
rected the arrangement in question. What had
struck him most forcibly was this, that Dumont,
coming to their Lordships' Bar with all the dis-
position in the world to destroy the honour and
life of her Majesty, she who had attended her
continually, and had been about her person in
every situation, had never proved one act of
adultery or indecency. Whenever the Learned
Counsel for this Bill thought they were coming
to a disclosure of something of the kind, to•some-
thing that was expected to make a strong impres-
sion on their Lordships, the witness had' stopped -
short at the most material point. If that did not
make An impression on the minds of their Lord-
ships, he should be greatly astonished. Their

witnesses, and could they forget that Majocci
was already Chancellor of Cotton-garden, and
Pietro Cuchi it was possible might be raised
above all others. If Gargiulo's evidence were
true, and the adulterous intercourse had: taken
place, the indecent scenes to which he deposed
could not haVe taken place without being no-
ticed. The man had an interest in the evidence he .
Was giving, not only from the high remuneration,
but from his expectation to have his outstanding
and unsettled demand adjusted. The coolness
and pertness -which he displayed whilst giving
his testimony,' did not add; in his opinion, to.
'the credibility of it. To him such evidence
appeared incapable of sustaining 'charges like
those which had been preferred against her
Majesty.. The evidence principally retied on,
reminded him of a person he remembered to
have been jealous of his wife=because why ?
Why-because she was in a room on a certain day,
with a gentleman, and the husband on going into
that room, observed two chairs placed close to-;
gether, and therefore he supposed a criminal in-
tercourse to have taken Place. When peOple were
determined to look for such things, there was no
end to the suspicions that might be excited. The
freedom of team:out, so essential:to the investi-
gation of truth, could not be restrained,, though
Kings were the parties. If Kings came before
them, they must share in the comment, however
uncourtly it might prove. With regard to the,
omission of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy,
whether it was by the desire of the King to the.
Archbishop of Canterbury he knew not ; but this
he would say, that if he had been Archbishop of
Canterbury, he would have thrown the Liturgy
in the King's face before: he would have done an
act so contrary to law, to justice, and humanity.
If he had been Lord Chancellor, he would have
thrown the seals' at his Majesty's feet rather than
have sanctioned such an act. What a. Household
Adrcinistration Might do he knew not, but that
was the'conduct he would himself have purued.
He could almoSt say that they had been. warntd
against the passing of this. Bill, by signl both in
the natural and moral world. Their Lordships
might remember that the moment when the At-
torney-General began his opening speeCh with
that statement, which he (Lord G.) 'should not
condemn him for having made, seeing that he was
bound to follow the instructions of his brief—that
foul and-fatal charge against the Queen commenc-
ed amidst the bursting of clouds and storms.-i-
-(llear1)--Whereas when the defence began a
bright sun lighted up the heavens, and shed a
cheering influence on the- day.—lle would
also say, that they had had signs in the moral.
and political world.. If they threw out this Bill,
they would create the most heartfelt rejoicing), not
only through this country, but from the shores
of this land through France, over the Alps and
Pyrenees, and the note of joy would be pro-
longed through Spain, Portugal,
and Naples-=-
because these nations were free—and none but
the agents and upholders of despotic power could
rejoice at its passing—none—none but despotic
nations would hang down their heads in sorrow and
dejection if it were rejected. lie entreated their

Lordships not to be led into the passing of this
measure by any undue. influence which might hi-
sensibly bias their minds on this occasion—he
implored them to be on their guard against any
evil inclinations of their own natures, which
might blibd their judgment on this occasion—and
why did he do this, but because every morning
on their knees their Lordships prayed that they
might not be led astray by the malice and devices
of their hearts. lie would conjure, implore—
he would
,pray them on his knees, to do in the
case of this oppressed, this

agonized woman, what they would wish to be
done to themselves—to their wives, And to their
dearest daughters, avid 'not permit this Bill to

h e EarN of HAnEwoOD and DONOUGHMORE
rose at the same time, the former in the gallery,
and the name of each was resounded throughout
the House by their respective friends. The Lord
Chancellor said that the Earl of Donoughmore
first caught his eye ; but the latter immediately
conceded his priority to the Noble Earl in the
gallery.

The Earl of listtEwoon then begged leave to
thank the Noble Earl who had just sat down,
for his great and singular courtesy on the present
occasion. He assured the House that it was not
his intention to trouble them by going at any
length, or indeed, at all, into the mass of details
which had been brought under their consideration
during the proceedings upon this important-ques-
tion. The situation in which he felfbimself placed
was, that of a Member of the House of Peers,
acting in the double capacity of a Legislator and
a Judge. Considering himself as placed in That
situation,-he 'begged before he gave his vote to
have the grounds on which he'formed that vote
distinctly understood. He would shortly state to
their Lordships the impression made upon Iris'
mind by the -evidence which had been given
in the case. Of that evidence he would say,
that much of it had been contradicted, much
stood on loose grounds, but other parts, he
was sorry to say, stood- on a firmer founda-
tion. The effect of the ,whole was, he must say,
calculated to create a strong suspicion respect-
ing the subject of their inquiry. He must first
consider the nature of the evidence. Far from
him was the intention of adopting the prejudice
out of doors, that foreigners ought not to receive
implicit credit upon their oaths ; such a pre-
judice he thought unworPly, of any civilized
country ;• it was in the highest degree irrational.
Much had been said- respecting the manner in
which. the evidence for the Bill had been obtain-
Lut being ignorant upon that point, he.should
r.ay nothing respecting it. If, indeed, the evi-
dence-had been collected in England, then there
could have been no reasonable ground to question
its general character, for the parties would be
open to , the fullest inquiry and ekamination.
This advantage could not be expected where the
witnesses were brought from a foreign country ;
and so far as that circumstance was calculated to
excite any doubt, and no farther, should he con-
sider 'the -foreign testimony. He had no right to
charge any of the subjects of any civilized 'coml.
try with not being intitled, to belief upon their
oaths ; and he.begged, in this cause, not to be
considered as lending himself to any such-impu-
tation. Having stated this, in allusion to the evi.
dence, he wished he could add, that he felt as
clearly convinced of the innocence of the Illus.
trious Person again Fit whom the Bill was directed,
As he was upon the impolicy of passing such a
Bill as this. The Bill was diftsible into two
parts ; one part -was for degradation, the other
for divorce. The latter was not, he under..
stood, to be pressed, so he should not make it the
subject of any observation. He must now look
at what he anticipated would be_theresult of such.
a measure as this—a measure whieh he *as clearly
of opinion ought never to have been brought
against the party in this country,—it should never,
for the purpose of a charge, have been boroUght
forward hi such a shape. He was convinced that
the effect of pas-sing such a-Bill would be this,
that it would cause the greatest discontent among
the people of the country. Whatever were the
character of d
any individual in public life, he ha
no doubt deceit and concealment, if practised,
could not operate 14n-g-; the good sense and good
feelings of the people would soon induce them
to appreciate public character in its true light.
if any thing could -be calculated more thin
another. to create a false impression-, it would
be the passing a measure which :was intended
to hold out the Queen hi a degraded 'view to
the country. This would excite sympathy' and
irritation, and lead to the most unfavourable re-
sult in every point of view. - Give the people
only a fair opportunity of forming their judgment
without severity or irritation, and he ww.i.ld say
On their behalf, and from his own experience of
the national character, that in the long-run they
would form a fair, just, and accurate estimate.—
He never in his life saw them fail in arriving at
such a conclusion, where impolitic and irritable
means werenotaised to thwart their. sentiments.
Irritation rievelafailed to 'produce mischief, and.
lie feared this Bill was calculated to load to that
result. in voting against, this Bill, on the grounds
of its inexpediency and impolicy, he begged-net
to be- understood as concurring with those -qhol,
itt their opposition to the measure, expressed an
Opinion 'that the original circumstances of the
case did not-call for any step on the part of his
*Maiesty's Ministers. That involved a subjeCt of
very- serious consideration. his Maiestv's lVii-
nisters were, upon that point, Surrounded with
great difficulties; and he was not one of tho:e
