TEELING'S ANTISCORBUTIC OINTMENT.

THIS Ointment is an effectual remedy for every
species of Seorbutie Eruption—it is safe and efficatious—and,
as it contains no Mineral Composition, may be administered with
perfect security to the most delicate constitution, or the tenderest
age. And be the Disease ever so inveterate, the most beneficial
rf,v;cts speedily result from the application.
To all Eruptions on the Face, it may be applied with equal se.
curity and success, without confinement, or the smallest inconve-
nience to the Patient--gentle in its operation, it progressively re-
moves the Disease, reduces inflimmation, and restores the skin
and conipleaion to their original softness and natural appearance.
Scrofula or King's Evil has been sensibly relieved by the applica-
tion of this Ointment, and though the Proprietor does not, in every
case, warrant an effectual Cure, be can, nevertheless, with confi-
dence recommend the application, having from frequent experience
witnessed It; salutary effects. In several instances, however, it has
erected a Cure of this dreadful Disease.

The &ruses. informed the Bearers of 11th- Message of his in.•
tention to acquaint the House of ilie Message. -
Mr. HUME begged leave to postpone two of Mr. Maberley's
motions, the firserriating to the It peal of Asseilsid Taxes till after
Easter; and the second respe.:ting Exchequer Bills and the trans-

Mr. S:cretary PEELexplained.' Mr. Gourley had not
been confined for contempt of the• House, but for com-
mitting an assault upon an individual, for which offence
he not only refused to give bail foi his good behaviour
for the future, but had conducted himself in so strange
and incoherent a manner, that he had been deemed
insane, and therefore confined. He (Mt:. Peel) could
assure the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, that every
attention had been paid this unfortunate gentleman—
every remedy that could soften the rigour; of his con-
finement had been adopted, but that under all these
combined circumstances, he- thought it would be im=
prudent to set him at liberty, Had the ;Hon. Member
for Aberdeen Conducted himself in the way this indlthlual had, the
House would be perfectly right in keeping him .in the same situ-
adon as the individual alluded to. (A taugh.)- He did not wish-
to detract from the merits of the Petition, but it was useless unless
some friend would come forward and vouch for the sanity of this
gentleman.
Mr. HUME laid, that he would not have the least objection '
to enter into the required recognizance, if he were allowed by
Mr. Gourlay. But the Gentleman would not allow any person
to become his surety, until an investigatibn took place into his
alledged insanity, the truth of which assertion was strongly denied
by Mr. Gourlay.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, this was certainly not a case lit '
which he should be disposed to interfere with the salutary restraint
prescribed in such cases by. the Legislature. ,If any departure
were to be made in this case, care should be taken that it was not
done without ample security to the public for the protervation of
the peace, otherwise he should be decidedly averse to eimpOol the
due execution of the lairs. -
Mr. HUMS said, it would be well to investigate into tbe cir-
cumstances, so as to ascertain hew far this individual was insane.
Sit F. BURDETT observed, that if this person ware to enter
into good security to keep the peace, there could be little hazard
in enlarging him.
Mr. CROKEIt begged the Honourable Baronet to recollect,
that Rills recognisances were accepted, there would be an end of
the restrictions imposed on the person who was the subject of the
Petition, as a lunatic, and he would be altogether absolved from
the restraint.

• The Petition was read, and laid on the table.
_: Mr. HUME then presented a Petition from William Martin,
lessor, of Seven Oaks, complaining that he had gone to the Bank
:INdebi with Bank of England Notes, and demanded gold fur them,
MN& was refused, and their -own notes tendered, which he in turn
refused ; in twenty four hour. afterwards, the request was complied
with; and praying the House to withhold its assent finm the mea-,
sure now Id progress, relative to Currency of the country.
The Petition was read, after a few words from Mr. Basuto and
Sir FIiANC/S Beaseri,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it-was clear
in this ease the party had suffered no- inconvenience eheept that
which he had brought oa himself—the House could not by any
possible mode interfere so as to get Min the vane' of these notes
sooner than the Banker had giVen hiss valtte.

The Petition was on Mr. Holies iouslmoortiored• to be printed.
= He then presented a Peebles kolialleampirmiwei meniess,
praying that the House would sot sametion any,inesefereou in the
currtacy, of Scotland,
Mr.HEATHCOTE implored Honourable Gentlemen to abstala
from debating-.A every Petition, on the subject of our commercial
dilicaities as arising from the state of.the Currency. The sleet
'of these desultory arguments was to produce distrust-in men's
minds, as to the real resources of the country, which he belieired
were by no means so materially elected as had been imagined.
Mr. HUME presented a ?odd's% front Pollockshavt, in Lanark.
shire, praying for a repeal of the Core Laws. In the few els.
servations:viith which he prefaced the motion for reading the Peti-
tion, be took an opportunity of condemning these laws, as highly
injurious to the working and manufacturing interests, as a tat on
the poor to favour the rich landowners, and procure them high
rests, and denounced the whole system as a means devised for
levying a bread tax.
Mr. BENETT repelled the inference of the Honourable Mem-
Ws, that the Corn Laws upheld the rick at the, expense of the poor.
,It was owing to these laws that the public was- always assured
'of a supply of torn grown at home when there was a deficient
supply from local causes abroad. It was by the landowners
that the high system of taxation was principally paid ; by them
,that the interest of- the National Debt, the espences of the State,
lb. maintenance of our numerous poor were defrayed for: the
plater part, and he thought it came with a very ill grace from
say Honourable Merither, new. that he should after all these
Ms:daces on the part of the lindowners, tell them that they had
awe than a fair proportion of the .favour and protecdou .f the
•Leigislature.—(Cheers).
The Petition was read, and, on the motion of Mr. Hums, ordered.'
to be printed.
A new Writ was ordered for the Borough of Horsham, in the
room of Sir John Aubrey, deceased.

Sir ROBERT WILSON • presented a Petition from
above 8,000 Boot and Shoe•makers in the 'neighbour-
hood of London, praying for a revisal of the Corn
Laws. He felt convinced of the truth of the allega-
tions of the Petition; and although some decried the
practice, he was glad to find this and other subjects
connected with the great questions of the trade of the
country, and even the delicate subject of the currency,
sifted and essmined in that House, because he felt it
did more to enlighten the public, and remove error out
of doers, than any other mode of inquiry wiatevef. He bad as-
sented to the principle of free trade, because he had been assured
that, as a consequence, the principk would be .cted on with re-
ference to the Corn question itself; and having received such as-
surances, he hoped they would not he forfeited. He moved the
Petition should be read.

Mr. CALCHAFT was not inclined to support the
prayer of the Petition further than that he disavowed
any desite to maintain a strict monopoly to the Eng:
I,sh corn grower. This peti.ion came very ill from a
class of men who actually charged .as much for a
handsome pair of boots as he as a landowner wobld get for a quay.
ter of wheat.—(A laugh, and cries of " No, no.")—The price of
bread, however, continued high, aithdugh the price of corn was
comparatively cheap. This was an evil in the present system which
required indeed serious attention on the pact of his Majesty's
Government Its (rat* to its source and correct.
Mr. Alderman WOOD supported the 'Petition.
Sir M. HIDLEY assured the House, his Hon. and
Gallant Friend was mistaken as to tents being as high
as they were during di! war. Many unhandsome op-
portunities had been taken in presenting Petitions, to
throw, by a side-wind, imputations on the landlords
and country Gentleinen of &gland which they never deaervedi
and which they were altogether above. He believed ths,Potitiosers
for a low price of corn would very soon have their wishes realised
if the Promissory Note 11.111 were suffercd to pass into a law ; but
( they had' UreJd cheap, they should recollect :hey must have wages
low in proportion.
Colonel DAVIS supported the Petition, and rejoiced

to think that the effect of the Promiestirrtiosii3ill
would be to make the lauded. Interest repoolltheaotial/11Vitipiort
they had given to his Majesty's Ministers, in k tap-au nor.
moue system of public expenditurei both cleiLsoeffitary.
Mr. N CALVER r believed it would be always im.
possible, in this country, to prodyce corn at a price sn
low as it could be produced in other countries. If the
landlords were to attempt it, they would find them-
selves obliged to break up their present farming sys-
tem and large farms, and lease the land oat to a tenantry resem-
bling that of Ireland and Germany, *rho consumed irk their
own produce. What would, in soeh a case, Web* nu-
fscturets? or where-would they ger bread? i••
Sir EDWARD KNATCEIBULL was of opintWEV the
landlordi had no extraordinary profits, and that the
change sought for in the Coto Laws worild be attended
with little or no benefit. He certainty would wiAt that a coostancy
and steadiness is the price of that article would be oistallistrefhich
he thought might be effected by the means of a slight asusadareer in
the present mode of taking averages and fixing the value et Corn,
Mr. THOMAS WILSON had heard with regret the
tone assumed by the Landed Interest in that House.—
He thought these complaints were, as welt as thee-ap-
prehensions, groundless. They ought by this time to
be convinced that the principle of tree trade to which
sn nutty Welters 'hid yielded must, as a matter of •coorse, reach
them ; and that though it Should reach them, if will nit materjally
affect the security of their property, which, though it,might afford
a nominally lower rent roll, would still afford them as much of the
good things of this. life as it had done under s more favourite system.
Sir FRANCIS uuttpErr would not enter intothe
details of the price of boots, or the representations of
the Petitioners, so much as to remonstrate on the too
frequent prevalence of a line of argument edopted by
many within those walls, which he felt was utterly er-
roneous, and fraught with dangerous and delusive con-
sequences on the minds of people out of doors. It was
absurd to talk of a state of things where 'bread should
be cheap, without that. cheapness producing a corre-
sponding reduction in the rate of wages. A particular
class of Hon. Gentlemen, in presentiug Petitions libel
the labouring and manufacturing classes, affected atone
of deep compassion for the condition of these pitries,
while they besoqght the Legislature to lower,* price
of corn, and jet these very parties exclaimed at another
time—lower the price of corn that we may lower the
Price of labour, and thus compete in articles of general.
lutanufacture with theforeigner, who has the a ivantage
over the British in the low price of labour. As to sym-
pathy on such a subject he believed all men would be
happy to find the workmen contented, and each with a
fowl in his pot, not only on-a Sunday, bid Pveryiday if it
could be effected'by these means ; hut tbisbe doubted,
It was idle, and even mischievous to talc in this way,
anticipating almost 'impossible results; and he .hoped
when the' subject should be discussed at length; it would
be met dispassionately; and coolly and mature, befitting
the occasion. It would, he thought, always- be found
impossible to have opulent, commercial, and •mann-
facturing men where the leadowneis were pone..
This constant assailing on.. the landed interest was,
in his mind, the more lath:feasible, because he Ise-
-tiered
..tiocetely that, itiot.sueon. excepting Awarder',
there was no class io imp country who .practised the
social virtues in, a more exemplary manner than the
Cduntry Gentlemen of England. (Hear.) Witco the
question of free trade had been propounded he had
supported it, and shonld.support it, not because it
would, in his opinion, injure the landed interest, or that
there would be any thing to rejoice at, hut from a can.
friction they had nothing to dread from its tendency.
He had to regret. that, as yet, the friends in the Cabinet
of this liberal policy had .been able to-effect no more •
than they bad done. N.at could he sympathise with
those who suppot ted the pi inciple only so far as it it did
not operate on themselves, and as soon as it did, imme-
diately cried out they were injured. This had been
strongly exemplified in the case of the
,silk trade.—
Ministers then bad said, we will not consent to a pro-
hibition, because it is directly opposed to a prohibitidn,
we can give you no higher protection than to the extent
of SOI. per cent. least the smuggler should break in with
a supply and beat down the lair trader. This, how-
ever, was not sufficient. Gentlemen exclaimed, 0!
you will do a great and extensive mischief if you admit
the principle of flee trade in that particular branch of
our manufactures. 'This was another fatal error in his
opinion for that which would not stand the test of com-
petition under such a protecting duty, ought, in justice
to national interests, to be exchanged for some other
mode of employing property and capital beneficially
*and -with greater chance of success. He.was an advo-
cate for free trade on the, broader principle, and s such was an
advocate for a, free trade in corn, and be hoped that the Land-
owners upon examining the subject calmly, and without alarm,
would also be convinced that a free trade in corn would not be
inconsistent with their own interests.

Mr. CAN US W isVii,Tii;;;;re convinced that the principle
of free trade in corn would be embraced without prejudice so the
Laud-owner, would feel no objection to repeal the Corn Laws.
Sir ROBERT WILSON denied he had atternyted to• throw
any odium on the Landed Interest in the observation. be bbd made
in presenting the Petition. The Petition was Akio read, sad
