SPRING.
EVERY Season influences all Constitutions, espe-
cially those of Valetudinarlans.—Eruptions and Scorbutic
discoloration, spread themselves in Spring, like noxious and
epidemic disorders; if abut up by Metallic Lotions, or retained
from weakness of the general system,—Consuntptien, Asthma,
Gout, Rheumatism, Palsy, Apoplexy, or those deplorable and often
incurable calamities, Cancer and the Evil, take place, according to
the !wore of the Constitution.

In the great and general source of these disorders, a scorbutic]
and scrdFulous habit, the VEGETABLE SYttUP of DR
VELNOS has been long successful, beyond all just competition and
rivalsbip. and Mrs. CANNA M Is assured, that by those who have'
hammed her with•their patrossage and meadow. bit' motives will
nut be misconstrued, when she reminds the Public of the • ap-
proach of mild and warm weather, the season for the most effectual
Pee of the Vegetable Syrup, in all the Cases for which it is fe-
-1 commended.

the habits of the female part are very licentimis. The
common dress of the women when they go'out of their
houses is a quilted petticoat, which sits close to the per-

drawn over the head—it is then grasped by one hanJ

little of what we should call society in this place. Same,

Mr. FERGUSON presented a Petition against the Teo and
Corporation Acts, from the Royal Bergh of Dundee.—Ordered to
►ie on the tabk.

The Hun. Giarrtamair begged to take that opportunity of cor-
reeting a misstatement which had gone abroad. with respect to
what fell from him on a former occasion. What he said was, that
Chief Justice Grey considered real property as assets far the pay-
' mem of debts in India, and that the two other Judges differed horn
[bins in opinion. With respect to dower, one of the Judge's was
of opinion that it did attach. within the limits of Calcutta, to
real property.
ItCH presented a Petition from Nottingham against the
present Corn Laws.
Mr. F. WILSON presented a Petition from Grantham, in
the County of Yuri, against any further sonccssion to the Roman

L..rd J. RUSSELL presented a Petition_from certain Voters of
Canterbury, stating that they had elected Mr. Lusbirgton to take
care of their interests in Parliament, that he had lately accepted the
situation of Governor of Madras, which precluded him of course
from the discharge of hit Parliamentary duties: they, therefore,
prayed for a new writ. He must say. that if the Honourable

Gentleman nieaur to contintit lung a Governor of Niadras, he must
consider this a very scandalous breach of trust. Even if he should
move for a Call of the House to enforce the appearance of the
Honourable Member, be thought it would hardly be considered
worth while to send a messenger to Madras.--The Petition was
read, and ordered to be printed.
The same Noble Loan presented a Petition from the Corpora-
tion•of St. Mary's Chapel, Edinburgh, against the Test and Cor-
poration Acts.
On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE a return was ordered

IGRA VOX, •

Mr. WILMOT-HORTON 'said, he had to present a
Petition from the Emigration Society of Ilizncliester,
on the subject of en,igiation ; and, in doing so, he would
say a few words as to his mction, which. stood for tc-
day, but which he intended to postpone until Monday.
as the Secretary of State, who was anxious to offer to
the House his sentiments upon it, was this evening,
unable to attend in his place. Ile trusted that co
Monday he might hive an opportunity of'discutsing it;,
but he would now give notice, that it he were disap-
pointed on that day, he had several Scotch petitions
Which he would, in that case, present on• Tuesday, _in'
order that he might then be enabled to give the House
some explanation as to the details of the measure, and
his views on the subject. This lie was desirous of doing'
before the:holidays. He would therefore offer but a
fe* words now relative to that Bill, Which. he could
not avoid saying. had been greatly misunderstood. If

tionsideiel was opposed to their interastee.thery Were ant-,

some of its inhobitants to emigrate, oarless with the con-
-ent of four-fifths of the rate payers, and four-fifths of
'the proprietors; this was, he comidered, sufficient secu
rity that the privilege would not be abused.-Again, he
intendei that no parish should have the power of re-.
moving fond es, unless where one-tenth diving th

necessitL for the House interfering, as it • would soon

found the Country Gentlemen indisposed to assent • ro.
his views, hettionl4 not press his Bill for ward or contest;
iteihrOugh the House. Before, however, he came to any
decision, he would detail his•views on the subject ; this
be hoped he might-be enabled to do on Monday, but if
not, on Tuesday he would do so, when • presenting the
petitions to which he had referred.
Mr. LEYCESTER did not think the measure would
be productive of any good. He must in the outset enter
his protest against
.tile principle of calling upon the
landholder and not the occupier to pay the rate.
Mr. BRIGHT said, that no -Bill should be allowed
to pass on the principles laid down in the Report of the
Committee. He hoped ample time would be given for
a full consideration of the subject, which was a most
important one.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL recommended to postpone.
'the queseon till.after the holidays.
Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, he had no objection
that the proceedings. on the Bill should be postponed
h
till after theolidays. He was desiroos, however, that
some preliminary discussion might take place.
Mr. BRIGHT thought it would be the best way pa'
fix some cattalo day for the quistion. • • •

Sir C. E(JRRELL slid, he could confirm this state:.
ment With respect to various parts of. Sussex.
Mr. CURTEIS said, he did not consider there war
a surplus population in Sussex, though at present there
were some out of employment. That, however, was
occasioned by the discouragement of agriculture, arising
fr m the.e Corn Laws.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY said he was happy to heart
on the authority of the Honourable Gentleman who
spokelast. that there was not a surplus population it;
Sussex. Considering the high wages paid to mechanics
in 1824 and 1825, he could not belicve that the pope=
lation of the country was too numerous, however pecu-
liar circumstances might seem at present to indicate an
opposite conclusion. He was one of those who alwaY;
looked upon a numerous population as the strength Or
the country—(Heist).—And before they were sent away,
the House should try.evety possible expedient to reeler
'it unnecessary. If the practice of paying labourers
partly from the poor-uu es Mere discontinued, they
would be snore ready to leave their own parishes a#4
seek for employment where wages were better. Much
of the pre,enr evil would thus be r nrived, as had
clearly been shown by NIG Beecher in his evidence.

CANADA COMPANY.

Mr. Alderman WAITHM AN said, that in rising to
bring forward the motion of uhichlie gave notice, re-
specting tl,e Canada Company, he meant no reflection
on any individual or any body of men. By o,e condi-
tions on which this Company was established, it was
pi-told:A that they should have a capital of 1.000,000&.
of this, however, only 150,0001. had been oft raised.
It uas quite idle to think that those who emigrated to
Canada would pay the expense of their transport and
location thole. The Returns before the H use proved;
that to send out posters was a vain capes imet.t. The

given them at ten shillings an acre, for which the Cord-
patty itself paid no more than three shillings. For
Tooter of an acre of what were called town lots, the
price now was forty shllings. it was obvious, there-
fot e, that the Company must eventually derive immense
profit from the bargain, even • admitting that the con-
cern hitherto was a losing one. Why did • not the Goo
vernaneort itself divide this land, and dispose of it. to
emigrants, without the intervention of a Company ?Tiro

the sale was made by Government to the Company-,
and how rose merely to say, that the motion ofothe
Honourable •A ldes mast eras perfectly unnecessary: The
Heese`was already% possession of or e half of thebo

under whose direction •the sale was effected. He shed
•well to the Company, and hoped that that sale.wOulsl
turn out profitable to them. He repeated, teat he did
not think the -motion was necessary. He thought the
House had not tl.e power to call for the idiomatic%
from the Compiny contemplated by the Hon. Member.
But if he wanted more, there were a'ready more folios
written and printed on the subje, t, than the Honourable
Alderman could read in three months.

Mr. BRIGHT hoped the Company would not only
be kept to its bittern, but compelled to lay before the
House the accounts referred to in the Honourable Al-
derman's motion,--partlcalarly as they would form
most valuable documents in the twine discussion of the
subject of 'Emigration, if (as he hoped it would) an ea-
tensive system Or Emigration should be carried into
effect. He wished to know (torn the Right Honourable
