EXPERIENCE, during a very long period, has
incontestably proved the superior efficacy of this Medicine,
in all cases of Colds, Coughs, and Asthmatic Affectious. By
promoting gentle expectoration, it very shortly relieves the Pa-
tient, of a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are generally
suffieient to remove those which neglect has rendered more con-
firmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied by Cough,
Spitting of Blood, and other serious symptoms. Its peculiar
balsamic powers tend to heal soreness, and allay the irritation of
the lungs, in. cases of Cough; and in Asthmatic Affections, it
, assists and gives freedom to the Breath. Thus it is an extec-
' sively valuable Remedy In the most prevalent elan of Com-
plaints in this Country, during the winter season.

Sir WILLIAM CURTIII. rose for the purpose of call-
ing the attentiot, of the Court to a complaint which
he felt it to be his duty to prefer against one of the
Sheriffs, a Member of that Court, for what he (Sir
William Curtis) considered to be not merely a breach
of duty in that worthy Alderman, but a flagrant vio.
lation of the privileges of that Court. The worthy
Alderman observed, that he was not present during
the discussions in a recent Court of Common Coun-
cil; but from the reports he had read of the proceed.
ings in the newspapers, it appeared that the Member
alluded to had, in the course of his speech; disclosed
the proceedings, and attacked the conduct of the
Court of Aldermen. The proceedings of that Court •
were secret, and he contended, therefore, it was a
breach of duty, and a violation of their privileges, in
any Member, to make those proceedings public, or
the subject of his animadversion. elsewhere ; nor
could he do so without a manifest violation of the
oath taken by every Alderman on entering upon office.
In support of this •assertion, the worthy Baronet read
the following extract from the Aldermans' oath :
"The secrets of this Courte ye shall keep, and not
disclose anything here spoken fur the commonwealth
•of this City, or that might hurt any person or bro-
ther of this Courte, unlesse it be spoken to a brother,
or any other, which in your conscience
.and discre.
tion ye shall think to be for the commonwealth of
this City.”—The worthy Member had, on various oc-
casions, attacked the conduct of that Court, and
thereby divulged the proceedings thereof; all which
he conceived to be highly improper, and to call for
the censure of the Court. He should therefore pro.
pose some Resolutions upon the subject. Sir William
then read a series of Resolutions, the purport of which
was to censure Mr. Alderman Waithman, more par-
ticularly for the disclosures made in his speech at
the last Court of Common Council, on the Report
relative to the Receivership of the Orphans Dues
on Coals.

After the reading of these proposed Resolutions,
the Court remained some minutes in awful silence,
the worthy Baronet not having provided himself with
a seconder, and no Member volunteering for the office.
At length, Sir JAIIES SHAW, and other Members,
set up the call, " To business—to business!" and the
LORD MAYOR was about to proceed upon the routine
business of the day, when Mr. Alderman ATKINS
rose and said, " 1 second the motion."
Sir JAMES SHAW observed, that there was other
and important business for .the consideration of the
Court, and for which they had been summoned. He
was much surprised that such a motion should be
brought forward at all ; and, more particularly, with
out any fact or circumstance being stated, upon which
they could form a judgment. It the worthy Baronet
had any complaint to make, he should. at least have
produced some document or evidence in support of
his charge, or moved for aCommittee of Inquiry on
the subject. He was not aware of the grounds of the
worthy Baronets complaint, and conceived the Court
could not listen to a general charge cf improper con-
duct, not confined to any one fact or time whatever.
Mr. Alderman WOOD followed to the same effect.
Sir JOHN PERRINO said, there was no case or cir-
cumstance of charge whatever made oat before them,
and thought it quite impossible that the Court could
entertain so novel a proceeding against oue of its
own Members.

Sir K.. C. GLysx said, the Honourable Baronet
ought surely to have followed up his complaint with
something like evidence. The Court certainly could
not enter upon the consideration of such a question
as this, in absence of all iuforrnation. He, therefore,
trusted that they would proceed immediately to the
birsiness of the day, and that the worthy Sheriff
would not feel it necessary to enter into any discus-
sion upon the subject.
Mr. Sheriff WArresmAN assured the Hon. Baronet
who had just spoken, that he had no Kish or intention
to waste the time of the Court. The complaint of the
Hon: Mover was'so general, that he was as ignorant
as every other Member of the Court, of the par ticular
circumstances to which the motion allm;cd. The
'public conduct of that Court, as well as of eve:y
other Public Body, he considered, was open to ti.e
free inquiry and observation of the Public. if his
conduct or character were attacked in that Court, he
should always feel himself entitled to defend them....
He was as anxious as any Member to support the
character and dignity of that Court, although he had
sometimes thought that their measures and proceed-
lags were not always calculated to produce th..t effect.
He would not reply to the motion of the worthy Ba-
ronet, nor the observations with which he accompa-
nied it. Indeed, they appeared to him so palpably
absurd and ridiculous, that he (AldermanWaithman)
was scarcely able to suppress his mirth, while the
worthy Baronet was deliming them.

Alderman Anctur here observed, that as there
appeared no disposition on the part of the Court to
entertain the Resolutions proposed by his worth:).
Friend, he would recommend him to withdraw them.
To which Sir Wm. Cuaria readily witted, mad she
Court proceeded to the other orders of the da).,

E(t. PROCEEDINGS.

%, HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 7.
4 lb ARMEE IN LANCASTER JAIL.
Mr. JAMES presented a Petition from Nathan
Broadhurst, now confined in Lancaster Jail. The
Petitioner stated, that he had been first arrested on a
charge of High Treason, but this chaise being abae-
aonecl; he saas'tried fora misdemeanouf, and being
found guilty, was sentenced to two. years imprison-
ment. He stated, that all Newspapers were denied
hitn.; that he was compelled to deliver all letters,
written by him, unsealed into the hands of the jailor,
and that the letters addressed to him were opened
before delivered to him. He stated that the turnkey
told him, that he must go into what was called " the
ditch ;" he remonstrated with the aurnkey, and a
struggle ensued; the turnkey struck him a blow,
from the effects of which he suffered such pain that
he was compelled to send for a surgeon. Being
Awed in" the ditch," which is a low damp place, he
was fettered, and waslonly relieved in consequence
of the petition of his fellow-prisoners. He set forth,
that being educated in the Unitarian principles, some
of his-friends sent him some tracts to his prison, con-
sisting of some Numbers of the " Theological Repo-
sitory, which he was not allowed to retain in the
prison. He further stated that he was obliged to
work, in consequence of the orders of the jailor, or
dispense with a proper allowance of provisions, al-
though when judgment was passed on him he ap-
plied to the Judge to know ily he was to be con-1
demned to labour, and the Judge expressly told him
that he would not. The Petitioner'complained,that
he applied to the visiting Magistiates for relief, but
that they, upon examination, concluded that he was
not entitled to any redress. The Honourable Mem-
ber said, that this unfortunate Petitioner had become
the object of the hostility of these Magistiates, be-
cause he was like Mr. Pitt and Loid Castlereagh be-
fore their accession to power, namely, a Reformer ;
anKI further, he thought *at this individual had in-'
curred their especial dislike, for they were the very
Magistrates who sanctioned the atrocities committed
at,,Mauchester..[Mr. HORNEY--" No, no; not one,
I can assure the House."J—The Ilonourable Member
(Mr. James) said, he understood that they were the
same, but he would rcract the assertion on the
authority of the Honourable Gentleman. He wished
to call the attention of the House particularly to the
allegation in this Petition, that not only was the pri-
soner compelled to give his letters unsealed to thc
iailor, but letters sent to him were broken open. But
there was an aggravation of even this unjust and ille-
gal exercise of discretion, for the letter which the
Petitioner sent to him (Mr. James), inclosing the Pe-
tition, was broken open and detained, and a copy of
it only sent to him with the Petition. He believed
that this amounted to a breach of privilege : he
doubted very much if the Magistrates themselves
bad the power of violating the sacredness of letters.
He moved that the Petition be brought up.
Mr. HORNBY said, that the rules now in opera-
tion in the prison, were made pursuant to the ZSlst
of the late King, and sanctioned by the approbation
of ,two Learned Judges. He was sure lie need say
no more in favour of these regidations to satisfy the
House of their propriety, than that they were deli-
berately revised, and sanctioned by that learned, hu-
mane, and constitutional Judge, Mr. Justice Bayley.
With respect to the allegation respecting the opening
of letters, lie was sure the House would see at once
the necessity of trusting to the jailor the power of
inspecting all communications to and from prisoiters.
As to the exclusion of Papers, he could only say,
that this was a rule most deliberately adopted by a
majority of the Magistrates. There was, indeed, an
opposition to it, and lie was botind to state, that he
`voted in the minority. However, the sanction of the
Judges, added to the sense of the majority of the
Magistrates, induced him to give up his opinion en-
tirely. The House would next observe, that as a
reward for general good conduct, a quant;ty of pro-
visions were allowed in addition to the jail allowance;
and this allowance was withheld in no case where
the conduct of the prisoner was such as to deserve it.
He assured the House that no person was asked to
labour in the jail, unless they were desirous of having
the County allowance, to which was annexed the
condition of their labcniring for a specified time in
the day. The Hon. Member concluded by eulo-
gizing the character for integrity, vigilance, and hu-
manity of the jailor of Lancaster Castle.
The Petition was brought up and read ; and, upon
the motion tkat the Petition be laid on Ihe table,
Lord STANLEY said, he was anxious to bear tes-
timony to the character and conduct of the Keeper of
the prison. This was not the first complaint which
had been exhibited against him : inquiry had been
instituted, and he had come out Of that inquiry with
credit and honour to himself. If the present pro-
ceeding was to terminate here, he would not oppose
the present motion for the Petition lying on the table;
but as this motion would probably be followed by
one for printing the Petition, he could not agree to
it, as that would be to make the House a party to
circulating libels and private slander.
Mr. H.SUMNER, for the same reason, should op-
pose the Petition being laid on the table.
Sir 'R. WILSON contended for the Petition being
received, else how should the Members, not at present
in the House, know the complaints of the Petitioner ?
_ _

Lord STANLEY said, tliat he was not in Lancas-
ter fof some time, but that he saw the assertion of the
Surgeon who examined Broadhurst upon paper.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW thought that the House
ought to pause before it gave publicity to a paper
'which contained a mass of calumnies. No doubt the
complaints of abuses, and especially such as were
committed on an individual in the circumstance's of
this'Petitioner, deserved the most serious considera-
tion of the House; but they ought not to forget that
justice was also due at their hands to others ; and in
the spirit of that justice it was 'that he now declared
his, resolution of opposing the printing of the Petition.
Sir ROBERT WILSON said, that tiovernor Aris
was praised for his good character just before it was
publicly established that he was guilty of many of
the things imputed to him.
Mr. HOBHOUSE said, that some time sincr a Pe-
tition stas.sent to him from this very jail, complaining
'of abuses committed by this jailor; but that the pre-,
ieuting of this Petitibn was stopped, in consequence
of a representation made to him by the Petitioners
!Opt the grievances were put a stop tsh by the inter

h.&

ference of the visiting Magistrites. Tie stated this to
show the House that the jailor was not exactly enti-
tled to all that praise so liberally: bestowed on him ;
and next, that it was possible now that abuses might
be in existence which sequired correction.
Mr. LOCKHART thought that the Petition de-
served the attention of the House, and that the truth
of its
_allegations ought to be invired'info.
Mr. WWN was far from thinking it the duty of
the House to allow a Petition to remain on the table,
containing statements _which, according to the evi-
dence of several MembeNs of the Hoiise, were false
land calumnious. He denied that the House of Com-
' mons was the place for the Petitioner to apply to for
redress, when it was in his power to have recourse to
the inferior tribunals.
Mr. BERNAL said, that the Noble Lord (Stanley)
did not contradict the statements of the Petition from
his own knowledge.
Mr. WYNN stated, that he coupled the contradic-
tions given by the Noble Lord and the Honourable
Magistrate (Mr. Hornby).
Mr. HORNBY said, he coul3 contradict, of his
.own knowledge, and that in the most decisive man-
ner, the representation that any of the cells were either
damp or badly ventilated. With respect to the
struggle between Broadhurst and the turnkey, he
could only say, that the day after it took place; hav-
ing stated the facts in the presence of Broadhurst, as
they were represented by the turnkey, he (Broadhurst)
did not contradict the statement.
Mr. JAMES thought it strange that the Honour-
able and Learned Gentleman (Serjeant Onslow) should
declare upon his conscience that these statements were
not true, since it was impossible he could know any
thing of them.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW rose to order. He said,
that he uttered no such words.

Mr. JAMES said, he was not aware of any defect
to his auricular organs, but he thought he heard the
words just repeated by him used by the Learned Gen-
tleman. At all events, he had not heard the princi-
pal facts in the Petition yet contradicted.
Mr. LAMBTON wished to know if he Vas to un-
derstand from his -Noble Friend that he meant to per-
sist in his opposition?
Lord STANLEY said, his own private opinion
was, that the motion ought to be resisted—(llear).
Farther than that he would not go. If the House
wished, he should withdraw his opposition—(No, no).
Mr. LANIBTON said, it was a monstrous princi-
ple to see carried into effect, that the testimonies of
several Members to the good character of a jailor,
should be sufficient to induce the House to turn away
from the complaints of a prisoner, which charged
that jailor with acts of cruelty and oppression. lie
would vote for the printing of the Petition, because
he thought that the doors of the Howse ought to be
thrown open to the Petitions of the People. He knew
nothing of the character of the Petitioner; but as
Lord Chatham said of Mr. Wilkes, he would say, that
he would pay no attention to the private vices or
public errors of .a Petitioner, but look at him indif-
ferently, as the possessor of rights which the law
alone could deprive him of.
Mr. LUSHINGTON thought, that after the con-
tradiction given to the statements in the Petition, the
House ought not to interfere.
Mr. JAMES said, that the complaint with respect
to the opening of letters was not attempted to be
denied. He contended that the jailor had not the
power—nay,even the Magistracy themselves had not
the power—of violating the sacredness of a letter.
Mr. B. WILBRAHAM thought that this was not
a case for the interference of the House.

Mr. 1101011IY said he well recollected this tract ;
it had been submitted to the Magistrates at Quarter.
Sessions. It contained the grossest abuse of the
whole body of the Clergy which he had ever read,
and for that reason the Magistrates had ordered it to
be excluded.

Mr. MANSFIELD also objected to the Petition
being received.
Air. HUTCIIINSON thought the Douse should
receive the Petition, and not be satisfied because an
Hon. Member said its contents were not true. He
would ask whether the principle was now to be esta-
blished, that if a Member for the County, and Chair-
man of the Quarter Sessions, being a Member of the
House, should oppose the Petition being received,
the House would reject it? He hoped it was not.—
He thought it was better the House should rather
err in receiving than rejecting the Petitions of the
People—OM/O.
Mr. CREEVEY was in favour of receiving the
Petition. If it did injustice to the jailor, the testi-
mony of Members, to which he was ready to add his,
did that individual ample justice. •
Mr. BENNETT was also in favour of receiving
the Petition.

Mr. CALCRAFT, as a friend of the jailor, was in
favour of the Petition being laid on the table, as the
best mode of doing him justice.
The House then divided, and the numbs were—
