DIL•FOTHERGIL'S NERVOUS CORDIAL DROPS.
THE latent cause of Nervous Disorders lies in an
impure state of the animal Juices, which instead of nourish-
ing and supporting the principle of life, irritate and derange the
nervous fibres; this produces various complaints of a relaxed
habit, the animal spirits not being supported, Hypochondriac and
Hysteric affections arise, and from this diseased state of the blood
proceed the various maladies that embitter life, mar every present
enjoyment, and cut the thread of existence by a premature decay.
For these disorders Dr. FOTHERIIIL'S NERVOUS CORDIAL Doors

and reanimating medicine; it has been proved an infallible cute
for those whose health has been injured in warm climates, or by
close attention to business, and a sedentary bk. Its powers have
been fully confirmed in those infirmities which attack the young
of either sex, and too often prematurely produce old age and all

general restorative qualities, or so will adapted to every class of

and with that view lie moved that die debate be ad,

1 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
contended. that it was much more properand credi,
. table, in the first instance, to grant this annuity cut
'I of the Consolidated Fund. If, upon examination, it
should appear that the Admiralty Fund could bear a
sum equal to the purchase of the annuity, it blight be
paid out of the Droits into the Consolidatedfundi.
, But he maintained, that the two subjects were not at
I
all connected.with each other. The grant of the an.
inuity ought to be independent of the consideration of
i ' . the state of the Droits of Admiralty.
The House divided, and the 'timber* were--For
the original motion, 65—For the Amendment, 37
Majottty 28.—The Bill was accordingly passed, and
ordered to the Lords.

When strangers were admitted.
Mr. H. MARTIN was speaking upon the ques-
tion, that the Bill be pissed. He stated, that con-
sidering the situation of the country when 200 millions
had been added to the capital of the National Debt.
between 1794 and 1808; it was important to consider
whether this annuity might not be supplied oat of the
Droits ef the Admiralty, for nobody denied that iz
'ought to be granted in some way or other: • From
the papers on the table it appeared that the Droits of
the Admiralty were fully competent to answer this
demand. It appeared that there were from four to
five millions which had not been applied to public
purposes. After the large addition which had been
made to the Royal privy purse, it was hardly fair to
load the Consolidated Fund with this additional bur-
then, when there existed other means of meeting the
demand. He also adverted to the 41 per cents. which
had been left at the disposal of the Sovereign, and had
yielded £172,000.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
remarked, that the Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man did not advert to the fact, that two-thirds of
the Droits were granted to the captors, all to he de-
ducted from the sum which he had stated. The fact
was, that no more had been left at the disposal of the
Crown than from one to two millions. The observa-
tions which had been made in other respects could
not be borne out by the napers on the table.
Mr. CREEVEY. dini:t.l that it was the uniform
practice to give two thirds to the captors ; there had
been a departure from the rule in the case of the Spa-
nish prizes. But what appeared particularly objec-
tionable was, that the Crown should have the dispo-
sal of such enormous sums, without being subject to
be called upon by Parliament for an account of, its
application.
Lord MILTON observed, that the Right Honou-
rable Gentleman himself appeared to have admitted
the other night, that there were sufficient Droits to
purchase this annuity, though now he seemed to be
of a contrary opinion.
'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ad-
mitted that there was a sum of £70,000 which would
probably purchase this annuity, unaccounted for, but
that was a different thing from admitting
.that there
were about five millions in the same situation.
Mr. WILLIAM SMITH said it was different—
' but the question now was, whether the House should
stop the pr ogress of the Bill till the account of Droits
could be examined and discussed ; or pass the Bill
now, and discuss afterwards whether the annuity
might not be charged upon this fund ? After the
conte.sion that there were £70,000 in the hands of
the Registrar—the point, as far as the reason of the
thing went, was decided. He agreed in the mons-
trous nature -of the circumstance, that the Crc wn
should have the disposal within a few years of eight
.millions of money independent of Parliament. There
had been a question, whether the Crown could accept
of a vcluntary loan, &c. but the absolute command of i
this sum was monstrous. All this had ari,en fromi
the change of things in this coun:ry, to which we liadJ
not been always careful, to aceornniodate our institu-
dens. While the King paid his Army and Navy out
of his own possessions, it was fair that he should have
the disposal of whatever was captured ; but when
the country paid nineteen millions for a Navy, and
about as much for an Army, was it equitable that
the Crown should have the proceeds of captures with-
out account ? Anbther objection to it was, that it
was a bounty upon injustice. The nation would be
ashamed of improper captures from foes or friends,but
a Minister of the day might not scruple to procure
large sums in this way. He adverted to the capture i
of the Spanish frigates, the greatest blot upon the
AdmiUstration of a Right Honourable Gentleman,
now no more. Such temptations ought not to be kit ,
upon any Ministers. He hoped the Droits of the;
Admiralty would, at no distant peri!)d, be regulated
by an Act of Parliament, but in the mean time, it
was their duty to ascertain whether the present an.,
nuity might not be supplied from them before they
agreed further to load the Consolidated Fund.
Mr. LAMBE observed, that. it was proper that.
this annuity should be granted ; but he could not
help remarkLig the very different manner in which a 1
request from the Crown was received in that House,
• from that in which the wishes of that House were at-
r tended to by the assertors of undue prerogative. The
House had been ready to vote sums called for upon
occasions similar to the present in the most muniti.
' cent manner ; but when the Reversion Bill :Went to
the Lords, a Bill which had been considered of grea-
ter importance than it really was, and which the pub-
lic were willing to have taken for more than it was
' worth, it was well known what a vexatious opposition
it met with.
Mr. WHITBREAD, as his Hon. Friend had not
yet come (which was not extraordinary after having
, sat all day at the Bullion Committee) begged leave
to say a few words. He would propose that the de-

Upon our re-admission we found,
Mr. WHITBREAD observing, upon a Bill which he had jun
brought in to explain and amend the Act, for the remittal of the
Poor, so far as relates to the regulation of WOrkhouses. The
Honourable Gentleman took occasion to state, that by the nest
Sessions, he should endeavour to prepare some arrangemects
with respect to the poor, which be hoped would meet a more fa•
•ourable reception from the House than °some Conner proposi-
tions of his upon the same subject had experienced.. The Bill

Mr. MARTIN put a question to the Chancellor of the itch,-
quer across the table, with respect to the Registrar of lbs Aduii•
ratty, winch the latter answered. But both spoke in sojow I
tone, that no one could distinctly understand them.

The House then went into a Committee on M.
