DR. TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN FAMILY ME-
:DICINEs.—These medicines-have long been in use, and
have innumerable testimonials in their favour. They are made
up wholly of Vegetable Substances, contain no mineral of any
kind, aral are perfectly safe and certain in their action on all
persons. young or old.
DR. TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA is the
great purifyer of the blood and the most efficient alterative
probably that is known. It eradicates all acrid humours. dis-
eased particles, and morbid substances from the blood, flesh.
and boues—its assimilation to the gastric juice of the stomach
causes it to pass rapidly into and unite with the vital current,
thus creating new, pure, and rich blood. Hence its wonderful
efficacy in SLTofula, Mercurial Taint, Scald Head, Erysipelas,
Rheumatism. Gout, Cutaneous Eruptions, Chronic Sore Eyes,
and all other maladies arising from a'bad state of the blood
—hence, too, its value as a topic, in cases of languor, great
debility, and .4assitude, nervous prostration, weakness, and
tremulousness .from anyerfse. It is inestimable in Female
Complaints, 'in disease the Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Me-
.sentery, 'Kidneys, &c. "Ladies of delicate constitutions, suf-
dering from any disofganization, with pale, emaciated coun-
Aenances, feeble:cncl weak. nervous and irritable, would do
well to use -the liarsnparills. This invaluable medicine pro-
*lures the most salutary influence upon theriervous Byrd' m;th
circulation, the organs of nutrition and secretion, and being
taken into the system by absorption and digestion, is conveyed
into every minute.part of the body by the circulating current,
thus diffused everywhere—made omnipresent—exercising a
healthful efficacy on every nerve and blood vessel—on the
brain, the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, and spleen,
the skin, membranes, glands, and lymphatics—the bones, ten-
dons, and muscles--the blood, bile, gastric juice, lymph,
chyle, Azc., eradicating every morbid agent, every poison—
invigorating all weak organs, enriching irnpoverislied
and affecting an entire renovation of the whole system. Half.

THE ELIXIR OF HEALTH, like the Sarsaparilla, has met
with great and deserved success in the cure of Female Com-
plaints—both are peculiarly sdapted to the constitution arid
ailments of females and almost never fail in those diseases pe-
cular to the sex. The Elixir is excellent in Colds, Coughs,
Bronchitis, and other diseases of the Lungs and Chest, Pleuriay,
Palpitation of the Heart, ,&c. It is a splendid remedy for Liver
Complaints, Disease of the Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach,
General Eruptions, Nervous Diseases, Sick Headache, Dropsy,
Salt Rheum, and all Bilious Disorders. It cleanses out the
whole system of acid, slime, worms, bile, Sze., and like the
Sarsaparilla, when used in the spring and fall, effectually puri-
fies the blood and secretions of bilious and other morbid mat-
ter, and thus prevents a host of other acute and chronic
diseases. Half-pints, 2s. Od. ; Pints, 4s. 6d.

cleanser of all the foul and viscid humours of the stomach, as a
regulator of the bowels and general secretions, and as a great
and gentle preventive of the numerous complaints of the in-
testines and labouring organs of the body, these Pills cannot
be excelled. Most of the Pills which are offered to the public
are merely of a purgative or drastic character, and hence their
limited usefulness, and often injurious results. They, more-
over, operate on parts or portions of the larger or smaller
intestines, which is a proof of inefficiency not only, but of po-
sitive injury, whereas Dr. Townsend's Pills produce an equal
and steady movement throughout the entire alimentary or
intestinal canal, diminishing the quantity of the circulating
mass, equalizing the circulation, and reestablishing a healthy
state of the biliary organs, stomach, and intestines. Wher.
ever these Pills have been introduced into a family, no others
are permitted to come—the difference is too great, too glaring,
too palpable. Good medicine will always displace that which
is worthless, and it is right that it should be so.—Boxes Is. lid.,

DR. TOWNSEND'S INDIAN PANACEA, a preparation
strictly confined to one class of complaints, viz. : "Diseases of
the Intestines or Dowels." The success of this medicine in
eurity, Cholera, Cholera Infaitutn, Diarrhea, Dysentery,
Blood}, Flux, Cramps, Spasms, or any complaints of the
bowels, surpasses anything that may be said of Dr. Townsend's
other ?reparations. It is a special remedy, and does its work
in a special manner. We feel that we are justified in saying,
from the proof it has given, that it is INFALLIBLE, that it
never fails to cure if used in the incipient stages of the attacks.
It has been administered in thousands of cases, and we have
never known it to fail in a single instance, and we therefore
believe it will not do so now. Where a person can speak of
a medicine in so positive and decided a manner, and with the
most solemn regard to truth, the public will bare some confi-
dence in these declarations.—Bottles 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.

TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 14, 1853.

LIVERPOOL ELECTION INQUIRY.
A FORTNIGHT has elapsed .since the Select Com-
mittee of the House of Commons commenced its
inquiry into the Petition against the late Election
for Liverpool, and the question may fairly be asked,
what has been done ? Scores of witnesses have
been examined, the most simple transactions have
been tortured into bribery and corruption, and all
that has really been proved is that the Petition is
frivolous and vexatious. In every point have the
Petitioners failed to convince any honest or intelli-
gent man of the truth of their allegations, while
they have •disgusted even their own party with the
folly of -their proceedings. The experience of pre-
qious elections, when Liberal candidates were the
prime moven, might have left the impression that
some portion .of the Liverpool electors were still
open to similar influences, but the examination has
tended to purify the constituency from traditional
shame.; and whatever may be the decision of the
Committee, the electors will stand in the eyes of
the world acquitted of all blame, and presenting
the gratifying spectacle of a body of men, many of
them in humble life, vindicating their character for
political consistency, and justifying their right to
enjoy the franchise which they so worthily exercised.
Of the thousands who came to the poll, to vote for
the defence of the Shipping Interests and the pre-
servation of the purity of the Protestant Faith, it
has not been shewn that one of them gave his vote
for a meaner consideration, while it has been abun-
dantly proved that the basest attempts have been
made to induce these men to give evidence to the
contrary. It would be tedious to enter minutely
into any analysis of the evidence of the several
witnesses which have been examined, for nearly all
tell the same story ; and when it is divested of the
colouring which legal ingenuity would throw around
it, we can only arrive at one conclusion, that the
working men were allowed a holiday according to
custom on the day of election ; and, in order that
it should be really a holiday, they were paid the
wages which they would otherwise have earned at
their several trades. It has not even been shewn
that this payment in any way influenced their votes,
or was attempted to operate so ; and yet upon this
flimsy pretext, so paltry, that every honest man in
Liverpool is thoroughly ashamed of the transaction,
Mr. RATHBONE and his co-conspirators have
endeavoured to fix a stigma upon the Borough and
render void an election which was a credit to all
who assisted in gaining it. But if in the opinion
of the Petitioners the electoral body really required
purification, what becomes of the purity of Mr.
RATHBONE, jun., when he was compered to admit
that he made use of the petition in order to gain one
of the seats for Mr. CARDWELL by the offer of a
compromise, which was indignantly spurned. The
whole affair is so transparently infamous, go

avowedly corrupt in object and intention, that we
have not the slightest fears for the result. If the

Committee do their duty as honest men, they will
declare the petition to be frivolous and vexatious,
and saddle those who instituted the proceedings
with all the heavy costs, which will be too light a
punishment for their turpitude ; but if, on the
other hand, party should prevail over principle, and
with that ingenious casuistry with which the new-
found zeal for political purity tortures any petty
circumstance to its own ends, the Committee should
declare Messrs. TURNER and MACKENZIE not
duly elected, the electors of Liverpool will justify
their own character for consistency, and by a far
more triumphant majority return two Conservatives
to represent them in the present Parliament.

THE COALITION MINISTRY—
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?
ALMOST six months have elapsed since Lord ABER-
DEEN composed his Coalition Ministry upon Con-
servative-Liberal principles, and the country has
now a fair right to inquire what they have done,
more particularly as the season is fast approaching
when the increase of temperature and the desire for
rural recreation will render all legislation a mere
hurried passing of Bills through their several
stages. It is well known that in ordinary cabinet-
work the coalition of various fancy woods is
usually intended more for ornament than use, and
our present rulers seem to act upon the same
principle, though it may be difficult to discover
wherein consists the ornament. The similarity,
however, is much closer—in the absence of the
useful. Before the Easter recess nothing was done,
because the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER
was not ready with his Financial Statement, and

since then everything else has had to give way in order
that his various proposals to increase and diminish
taxation might receive their due share of discus-
sion ; so that the session will be brought to a close
with the simple announcement that the Budget has
been carried. The Landed Interest have had their
claims for relief met with additional burdens.
Ireland, after her suffering from the famine, the
pestilence, and the desertion of her population, is
saddled with the Income Tax ; the clamourers for
cheap Tea have to pay in the price of the article
the small saving in the duty ; and all the boon of the
fiscal alterations is comprised in cheap Soap. This,
then, is the solitary sheaf of the Sessional harvest,
and all the noted tact of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is
brought into play, in order to spin out the time
until the prorogation, and for this simple reason,
that there is no one principle of Legislation upon
which this united Cabinet can agree. The Radicals
were promised a measure of Parliamentary Reform,
but they will look in vain for any proposal which
shall satisfy the Conservatism of the Peeliteß, the
moderate views of the Whig section, or the extreme
notions of the ultra Liberals. In opinions and desires
they are as wide as the poles asunder ; any tangible
proposition would split the Ministry into fragments ;
and their real strength consists in doing nothing.
This is the Conservative progress upon which the
Premier dilated with such unmeaning declamation
at the commencement of his career, and the inter-
pretation of the strange phrase is now becoming
evident even to the warmest of his supporters.
The task of inventing something to talk about was
thrown upon their financial oracle, Mr. GLAD-
SVONE ; and he has wonderfully succeeded, by an
ingenious legerdemain, of putting on here and
taking off there, to find employment for the House
of Commons without provoking discussions which
might prove inconvenient. The main object was
retention of place, which was only to be secured
by an indefinite postponement of every question
which was likely to create a difference of opinion ;
and this description applies to almost every subject
which has agitated the public mind out of doors.
A short time since a bill was introduced for the ex-
tension of National Education, and Lord Jo [lx
RUSSELL took great credit to himself for his zeal
in behalf of religious instruction. The Dissenters,
however, have discovered that scholars are more
wanted than schools ; that a compulsory rate would

supersede voluntary aid, and that the Church might
be more benefited than the sectaries. They have,
therefore, petitioned against the bill, and the cun-
ning Minister has quietly shelved it until a more
convenient season. On the question of the reve-
nues of the Irish Church, the novel zeal of Lord
Jomc RUSSELL against the Romish priests, of
whom he has been the chief supporter, produced a
Ministerial rupture ; hut the prudent Lord ABER-
DEEN lured back the deserters by repudiating the
sentiments of his principal colleague, so that we
have the leaders of each House of Parliament
avowing a difference of opinion on a vital question,
and yet remaining together in office, because a split
would be fatal to both of them. It would be im-

possible to point to any one advantage which the
country has derived from the accession of the pre-
sent Ministry, and it would be equally as difficult
to point to one which there is the slightest reason
to expect ; and yet, for this mongrel compound
of opposite opinions and antagonistic principles,
the country has lost the services of the able Lord
DERBY, and the influence of the great Conservative
party, for which such exertions were made at the last
election, is being frittered away in listless inactivity.
Legislation, indeed, for any beneficial purpose, has
become impracticable; the real business of the
country has been brought to a dead lock, with no
apparent prospect of any relief; political principles
have become, as far as concerns public men, of
doubtful meaning ; and all this has been brought
about because a few professing Conservatives, closely

imitating their late leader in his political treachery,
have belied all their previous professions and joined
their opponents, in order to mortify their friends
There was something very plausible in the avowal
which Lord ABERDEEN made of the little real dif-
ference between him and his colleagues ; but, when
we consider that his Ministry is composed of every
phase of extreme opinions, the Presbyterian Pre-
mier, the Tractarian and Conservative Mr. GLAD•
STONE, the Protestant and Whig Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, the Romanist Mr. KEOGH, and the
Radical Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH, we can
readily understand that no measure of any impor-
tance can possibly emanate from such discordant
elements, and we may safely predict that the session
will he brought to a close with cheap Soap, and a
permanent Income Tax, as the only fruits of it. We
must therefore be content to bide our time, until
the electors will open their eyes to the vital impor-
tance of returning Conservative Representatives,
and the Government of the country be at least
placed in the position of being guided by intelligible
principles.
