BILIOUS Disorders, Flatulence, Heartburn, and, In-
digestion,
giving rise to Headache, Languor, and Debility, are
the common precursors of formidable Disease, and when they in-
duce anxiety, irresolution, and despondency, demand the promptest
succour, lest both body and mind become irreparably enfeebled.
Whether these complaints result from pampered appetite, the un-
due indulgence of the passions, the free use of fermented or spi-
rituous liquors, the habits of fashionable life or anxiety and'appll-
cation to business, they are uniformly relieved by Dr. SOLO-
MON'S CORDIAL HALM of GILEAD. This Medicine
strengthens the stomach and nerves, promotes digestion, relieves
the spirits, and gives vigour to the vital powers. The weak and
nervous Will not resort to it in vain.

Of whom may be had, price 3s. a new Edition of SOLOMON'S
GUIDE to HEALTH, or Adeke to both Sexes, in a Variety of
Coneaints; with an Address to Parents, Tutors, and Guatdlans
of Youth, on the necessity of guarding Youth from a delusive and
destructive habit, that fascinates the senses, destroys the health and
*kiss of its votaries, and renders them feeble, useless, and mise-
rable through life.

FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH, &c.
WORMS are the cause of many internal afliictions,
which vary so much in their effects, that they may be mis-
taken by the most eminent physician, and prove equally fatal to
*be:constitutions of adults and children; though the latter more
extensively suffer from their destructive ravages. Their more usual
symptoms are Fits, Pains in the Stomach, Side, and Head, Loss of
Appetite, and Pale, Languid, and Emaciated Appearance in the
Patient. The extraordinary effcary of CHING'S PATENT
WORM LOZENGES in all such complaints, as well as Obstruc-
tions in the Bowels, and every disorder where opening or cleansing
physic is required, is so universally known, and has been publicly
acknowledged by so many persons of distibction and rank in society,
that it is unnecessary here to enlarge on their peculiar .virtues.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.
-....--
HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY U.
Mr. Tossuirs, from the Treasury, presented Returns of the Nutn-
bar of Ships laden with cntn and flour, which bad entered the
Port of London in 1924.—Laid on the table; and, on the motion
of the Earl of LDICIOCIC, ordered to be printed.
Mr. Passau, from the East India Company, presented Ac.
counts of the Number and Rates of Ships in the East India Docks.
in 1823 and 1824.—Laid on the table.

Colonel Lroes and others; from the Commons, brought several
Private mils, which -were read a first time. - • • • ; •

Earl DARNLEY inquired why the Returns for which he had
molted, respecting the Orders in Council issued to suspend in some
cases the action of the Quarantine Laws, had not yen been made to
the Hense?
The.Eatl of LIVERPOOL said, that the subject
.did not fall
within his department, but that he would inquiet... '
Earl DARNLEY -said that he should not trove* their%Lord-
skips on the subject of those laws till the Bill in mtegress through
another place should be regularly before their House.
The Earl of MALMESBURY moved for various Returns re-
lative to the importation of Corn and Flour'from Canada kr 11183,
1824, and up to the Ist of May, 1843. Also for a Copy of the
minutes of agreement entered into between Earl Bathurst and the
proposed Canada Company ; and for Returns of the Athount of the ,
Crown Lands exchequered, and the quantity of Latid disposed of in
Canada since 1890.—Otdered.
Petitions against the Catholic Claims were prelented—By rte
Marquis of Atteunza, from the Clergy of the County of Anglesea,
Ind from. a Paslsh in Staffordshire ; by, the Bishop of Fume -
from the Borough•ef St. Ives, in the County of Cornwall ; by the
Loan • Cnanceitos from the Town of Denbigh ; by the Earl of
Lwaaroot., from the Merchants, Bankers, and Tradesmen, of Gies-
gow, signed by 13,000 individuals ' • and from•the Moderator and
Members of the Provincial Synod of Perth ; by the Bishop of St.
Davao's, from a great number of Parishes in the Counties of Pem-
broke and Cardigan ; by Lord Dater, from the Pastas of St.
Mitgaret's, Westminster; by the Earl of Snarressuav, from the
iniebitims of Linlithgove, in Scotland.
• : The Bishop of CHESTER resettled a Petition from nearly all
**respectable Inhabitants of the Town of Congleton, in the Comity
of Chesser. It was signed by 800 inotividuals, including all the po-
peltdon of that place, With the exception of the Mayor, and one of
the Aldermen. The Right Rev. Prelate stated that it had been
,erupted in consequepce of a Public Meeting, duly advertised, and
abet considerable discussion, whilst that presented by a Noble Earl ,
7yesterday, lied been banded over to the silk Mills in the
, and signed by scarcely any one but the boys working in
thew seals, who could have no opinion upon the subject. Even
thee the-number of names affixed to it did not exceed 880. He wait •
convinced therefore that the sense of the terms of Congletou was
fairly expressed only In the Petition which he had the honour to
present. He atso believed that the sense of the whole of that great
manufacturing district was hostile to Catholic Emancipation in the
proportion of six to one. He was not one of those who attached
much importance to public opinion, as he thought it was the duty
of both Houses to decide on the laws which they paseNl according
to their own views, information, and wisdom ; but he had stated
this fact, in consequence of the assertion made by Noble Lords on
the other side, that the sense of the country was in favour of
Emancipation.
Rail GROSVENOR admitted that the number who bad signed
the Petition presented by the Right Rev. Prelate was correctly
stated ' • but understood from the Mayor of Songleton, that that
Petition had been long in circulation, whilst that which be (Earl
.Grosvenor) bad submitted yesterday totheir Lordships, and which
had been generally mistaken for one from Manchester, bid oily
set.oa foot very lately. Had it been proposed earlier there was
no doubt that it would have been signed by greater numberu—The
Petition was read, and laid on the talk.
Sir ions NEWPORT, Mr. BROWSE/111_, Mr. W. . Wynn. Mr. .
STUART WORTLEY, Lord MILTON, Lord BIENISO, Sir MERRY PAR.
DELL, Lord STANLEY' and about sixty or eighty other Members,
from the Ominous, having been introduced, and the Loan CHAN.
CELLO& baking come down to the Bar,
Sr J. NEWPORT presented a Bill to his Lordship, and ad-
dressed him in the following manner :
" The Commons have passed a Bill to remove the disqualifies-
dons of Ids Majesty's Roman Catholic Subjects, to which they pray
the concurrence of this House." -
Several Private Bills were then brought up and read a first time
immediately.
Lord AUCKLAND presented a Petition from the Protestant
Landowners of the County of Tipperary, in favour of the Catholic
Claims.—Laid oil the table.
Lord KENYON, seeing the Bill which had been expected be.
fore thk House, presented a Petition from the Rev. Thomas Sib-
thorpe, of St. John's College, Orford, praying that that Bill migkb
, not paw bite alaw, or that if it did, some clauses might be. IntM
ducedinto it to release his Majesty's aUbjecta, and the Clergy of
the Established Church in par.icula•, from taking, the Oath of Su-
Ipremacy, as they could no longer conscientiously do so. The Peti-
tioner also argued, that since the Catholics and Dissenters would
not al:ow peraons of any other communion to interfere with their
Churches, they should not be empowered to jotter."'" with the
Established Church, which would be tkr case as far as the Catlusr
