FUMIGATING BATHS.
AFTER an experience of several years in Con-
tinental Practice, Doctor COURTENAY announces his
process of Sanative Fumigation, improved upon the plan of the
celebrated Deicer, and cleared from the obstructions and im-
perfections to which the noblest and most useful inventions are,
in their origin, but too frequently liable. The admirable quali-
ties of the FUMIGATING BATH had been long highly
pi ai.ed and earnestly recommended in the writings of those
eminent Physicians. Mamie!), Atrumortetn, and Latounerre;
but it is only within these few years that the precise and deter-
mined use of them has been demonstrated and established.—
The theory is now sanctioned, by unvarying experience, and
the consequences are recognized to be fully adequate to the
scientific anticipations of all the Medical Men who have en-
couraged and promoted this efficacious and elegant mode of cure.
In all Cutaneous Eruptions, long considered incurable, and at-
tended with the most painful results; in Scorbutic and Scrofu-
lous Affections, whether lurking internally, or manifesting them-
selves by hideous blotches, in Leprosy, Ringworm, Rheuma-
tism, and Female Complaints, the Fumigating System inva-
riably produces the happiest effects • yet with all these excellent
qualities, its principal virtue will be tound to consist in the re-
storation of an exhausted and debilitated constitution to a state
of activity and vigour; and whether the exhaustion and debility
be caused by a long course of dissipation, or the ravages of Lues
Venerea, it will in this respect vindicate its claim to the title of
a real specific. The Vapour Baths cannot be considered solely
as Medicated Baths, but as Baths of cleanliness and ornament ;
' they give the skin that elasticity and freshness which is the orna-
ment of youth, and prolong the health of the aged. These
Baths are arranged in a corresponding series with the different
complaints, and the Solphureous Vapour, the Barrage Warm,
and the Aromatic Chalybeate Back of Montpelier,- areiespect-
tively employed in their peculiar objects.

IRISH RECORDS.
The Marquis of DOWNSH IRE wished to correct a misun-
derstanding which had gone abroad when he had moved for
certain Returns respecting the Commission appointed to ex-
amine Public Records in Ireland. It had been represented in
some Paper, that the observations with which he had introduced'
his motion, applied to the Commission for inquiring Into Courts
of Justice in Ireland. He had made no such application. He
knew, on the contrary, this the advantages derived from the la-
bours of that Commission were great beyond precedent. They
had already led to a considerable saving, which would shortly
amount to £81,000; and the success with which they had been
attended, proved what benefits Might be produced from an in..
quiry into all the Courts of that country. The Noble Marquis
then restated his objection to the eapense incurred by the Com-
missioners to examine Records, which, in ten yeays amounted to
.6110,000, and wished to know when the Returns to his motion
would be made?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that Ite had spoken to the
Secretary for Ireland, who had written to that .country to expe-
dite the Returns, which he expected would now be made in a
few days. Not only had much advantage been derived from
the Commission appointed to inquire into the Will Courts of
Justice, but the Commission established by the Bill,of last Ses-
sion for inquiring into all the parts connected with-the Revenge
in Ireland was now hard at work, and much benefit might be.
expected from its labours.
MARRIAGE ACT.
The Order of the Day for receiving the Report of
the Committee having been read,
The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his ap-
probation of the prospective part of the Bill. He felt
satisfied that the measure would secure a great im-
provement of the law with respect to future mar-
riages. He also rejoiced that the principle had been
caablithed that marriages once solemnized could not
be made null and void ; but this was all that met
with his approbation. If the retrospective part of
the Bill were passed, it would undo all that had been
done since 1754, and would become a precedent for
other measures of an equally injurious nature. He
should therefore consider that he was not doing his
duty, if he did not make a proposition to the House,
with the view of recording on its journals, that he
had not given his consent to that part of the mea-
sure. The Noble and Learned Earl then restated
his objections to the retrospective clause. It would
destroy all the rights to property or titles of honour,
of those who were not in actual possession. But it
was a question whether their Lordships had a right
to legislate with respect to titles of honour, and thus
to interfere with the privileges of the Crown? They
could not estimate the mischief which they might do
if they passed that clause. They would disregard
the rights of presumptive heirs, and in cases where
Ouse heirs might have disposed, as they had a right
to do, of their reversionary claims for a good consi-
deration, would they tell those who had bought them
that they should lose their money and the estates too?
fhe clause rendered marriages solemnized by licenses
valid, but it left those obtained by undue banns to
shift for themselves, yet the hardships might be a.
great in the one case as the other, though in one
the rich, and in the other the poor, were concerned.
The Noble and Learned Earl quoted several instances
in which great individual injustice and injury had
arisen in consequence of the wrong formation of wills,
and yet no retrospective law had been passed on their
account. He also shewed how the present clause
might operate to the disadvantage of those from
whom property had been willed away by their rela-
tions, because they were considered to be legal heirs
to some estate. They had already lost the property
through their just expectations, and now those expec-
tations would be destroyed, and the estates to which
they were thought to be entitled would be lest to
them. Should that clause pass, he should reserve to
himself the right of moving certain amendments and
provisos, one of which should class among the excep-
tions from the operation of the Bill, those marriages
as to which it bad been proved in a Court of Justice
that the parties had acknowledged their invalidity
soon enough after their solemnization to enable them
to contract another. He should also propose two
clauses to the effect that every conveyance of real or
personal property which had taken place before the
passing of the Act, or any sale of reversionary claims
for a good and valuable consideration, should remain
as effectual and valid as if the Act had never passed.
No man in the country stood so much charged with
the care of property as he did, and he thought this
Bill, as to property, would be one of the worst that
ever were passed. He should not feel his conscience
at rest if he did not record on the Journals of the
House that such a Bill could have no support from
him, and he hoped that his Noble Friend (the Earl of
Liverpool), who had moved in the Committee that
the exceptions should be extended to ,the suits now
pending in Courts of Justice, would again take the
sense elf the House upon that subject.
Lord ELLENBOItOUGH had been relieved by
the speech of the Noble and Learned Lord, from
much of the anxiety which he had experienced whilst
considering what his great learning and ability might
produce. Though he could not discover any difficulty
sufficient to prevent their Lordships from passing the
present Bill, yet he feared that the ingenuity of the
Noble and Learned Earl might have started objec-
tions of a formidable nature. His speech had re-
moved that apprehension, and he found that there
were questions in which the heart of youth was wiser
than the head of age. The Noble and Learned Earl
had declared that he approved the principle that mar-
riages once solemnised should be indissOluble. Having
once established that principle, how could their Lord-
ships, with any regard to morality and religion, re-
fuse to apply it to the marriages which had taken
place in the past, as well as to those which would
occur in future? The Noble and Learned Lord was
afraid of creating a precedent; but this Bin itself was
founded on precedents ; for several measures to van-
date marriages had passed through both Houses in
the years 1804 and 1808, without any exceptions as
, property, or any objections from the Noble and
Learned Earl, and not a single complaint had since
been heard of their effects. Even now but one Peti-
tion had been presented against the retrospective
