THE ROYAL FILTERS,
Sole Office, 163, STRAND, LONDON, opposite the New
Church.

To purify foul Water—iiie that supplied to the
inhabitants of the principal cities and towns in England,
replete with every species of offal and myriads of animalculse,
and to convert it forthwith into an enlivening, wholesome, and
chrystalline beverage like the Mountain Spring, is one of the
most difficult problems of science which thousands in every
age and country have attempted in vain, having produced at
best a vapid sickening beverage, till the happy electro chymi-
cal invention of ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTERS appeared.
This has justly been characterised by one of the highest
practical authorities, as " THE ONLY EFFECTUAL AND
WHOLESOME MODE OF FILTRATION ; " as a proof of the
fidelity of this remark, it will be sufficient to observe, that
during the prevalence of the fatal fever that has lately per-
vaded the metropolis, not a public establishment or private
residence in which the Royal Filters had been adopted was
visited by the scourge : the advantages of the discovery has
already raised up a host of humble imitators, but it will be
found that all other apparatus are imperfect in action, subject
to constant disarrangement, and in many cases render the
use of the water dancrerous to health. It is only necessary to
add, that the Royal Filters are protected by her Majesty's
Letters Patent ; that they have been adopted in all the royal
residences, the various branches of the Public Service, her
Majesty's Navy, and the Mansions and Residences of more
than 180,000 Families throughout the Kingdom. To render
the invention of general benefit, it has been proposed to the
Patentee by the most influential members of the College of
Physicians to reduce the prices in order to render them avail-
able to all branches of the Community, and accordingly the
following scale is submitted to public attention :

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
rrHE occasion being at hand when you will be called upon
.1 to exercise your privilege in the election of your repre-
sentatives, I consider it my duty respectfully to present
myself to your notice as a Candidate for the honourable post
to which I have twice been elevated by a majority of your
suffrages.
On those former occasions I have had to address you on
subjects of general policy, on which my opinions are un-
changed, and I have no reason to presume that yours have
undergone alteration. On such it would be idle now to
detain you, and improper to do so with any purpose of di-
verting your attention from topics of superior interest, at
the moment on which you have a right to know my opinions.
I am opposed to a total repeal of duties on the importation
of corn •, though, not speaking with the authoilty of a minis-
ter of the crown, I do not affix the character of madness or
criminality to those with whom I differ on this point. I
believe, however, that confusion and transfer of property,
amounting to a social revolution, would be the consequences
of that measure ; that its best success would be some exten-
sion of our manufacturing establishments unattended with
any real improvement in the condition of the operative, but
accompanied by great risk to him from dependance on foreign
nations for supply, and by a disturbance of the home market,
which would confirm and extend the distress under which he
now labours.

Such a measure, however, I would, on the best considera-
tion I can give the subject, adopt, in preference to the fixed
duty now proposed by government, which, taking into ac-
count all the circumstances of its introduction, I consider
Hot indirect but certain mode of effecting total repeal. I do
and believe, or mean to insinuate, that it is advocated by
Lord John Russell with this view or intention ; and I am
well aware that it holds out a prospect of certain advantages,
which have conciliated towards it the opinions of many per-
sons of weight and authority, who have no object in view
but the good of the community. Believing however, that
to the agriculturists its protection would be delusive. that as
a compromise between parties who suppose their interest to
be conflicting, it would be inefficacious for any purpose of
peace or conciliation; that it would lead to periodical colli-
sions with the people, which no intervention could allay, and
no authority resist; and that it would break down under the
first pressure of a deficient harvest, I, at least, could not be
among its honest supporters.
To a full, careful, and dispassionate revision of the present
system of fluctuating duty, I have not only no objection,
but I think the time is arrived when such revision is required.
I have observed and read too much of the prophecies of the
ablest men, on extensive measures of political economy, not
to entertain with doubt predictions of exact results. I may
hope, however, that by the application of experience and
the exertion of the best undsrstandino's, modifications ,f
he present scale may be adopted, whiclimay remedy th o t •
evils complained of as its concomitants, without the esumbsatlin-
tution of greater. In all discussions of the subject, when-
ever doubt may arise, whenever authorities may be nicely
T
y
balanced, I shall feel it my dut to act as may conjecture
those who hold the converse of my position
will act. I presume that the man
who in the country
is in the centre of a
strictly rural population, will look to its wishes and apparent
interests. I shall do likewise ; and if helooks to his ricks,
I shall look to my
chimneys and those of my neighbours.
With respect to the other proposals of government, on
sugar I have stated in parliament my estimate of the extent
of the relief proposed by government the consumer, and
my reasons for not accepting it. I have seen no reason to
retract my calculation, or alter my opinion. Timber appears,
by consent of ministers, to have slipped througha hole in the
budget.
I believe the poor-law, iu many of its leading provisions,

ancited to South Lancashire, and tumbled for by the pre-
existing state of the administration of relief to Cho poor in
that part of the kingdom. This subject is one which has
been condemned as unfit for discussion in parliament at a
moment of expected dissolution. lam unable to understand
the practical distinction thus drawn by Lord John Russell
between the poor-law and the corn-law. It is true, as he
has stated, that in the one case details were under the con-
sideration of the house, in the other it might be the object of
ministers to limit the discussion to principles ; but the at-
tempt at such limitation would have been vain. The princi-
ples on which the government advocate a fixed duty on corn
were perfectly well known through former dissuasions, and
I know now why the virtue and sincerity of members about
1 to face their constituents should be more distrusted on the
one subject than the other.
I consider a revision of our commercial tariff a task worthy
of a strong and united government, and by sack a government
I hope to see it undertaken.
An address of this description is necessarily but a slight
summary of topics of leading interest at the moment. I have
confined myself to one object, that of giving you the means
of judging whether, on the score of my opinidus on subjects
which have grown into recent importance, you have reason
to withhold the confidence you have twice reposed in me. I
might have contrived to obscure or postpone the enunciation
of those opinions under the smoke of an attack on the conduct
and proceedings of a government to which I am opposed ;
but I have thought it fairer not to mix up the exposition of
my own views with reflections on the views or conduct of
others.

I am ready, if called upon, for controversy ea these mat-
ters, in its proper time and place. In one respect, perhaps,
I may enter at a disadvantage into the strife of parties. Bo-
dily infirmity, with pain and exhaustion in its train, cannot
confer the wisdom of age ; but I sensibly feel that it may
produce an indifference to the ordinary prizes and rewards of
political contention, which age itself does not always inculcate.
I have no ambititon left but that of carrying with me to re-
tirement, or elsewhere, the consciousness that I have not
neglected a legitimate occasion of serving the community in
which I live. Twice you have afforded me what seemed to
me that occasion. It is now at your discretion to withdraw
or reimpose the obligation under which your confidence and
support have laid me. Proud of that confidence as hitherto
enjoyed, and with a grateful recollection of that support
which no time or circumstance can obliterate, I respectfully
wait your decision.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient,
humble Servant. FRANCIS EGERTON.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
fIENTLEMEN,—Being now on the eve of a dissolution
of parliament, and having to restore into your hands the
trust which you did me the honour to confide to my care, it
becomes my duty to inform you, that I again intend to solicit
your suffrages, and to offer myself for the third time as a
candidate for the representation of South Lancashire.
Since I have held the distinguished situation of being one
of your members, I have on several occasions explained to
you my political opinions, and I will only say of them gene-
rally, that they remain unchanged ; but at this moment,
when the country has been so recklessly agitated by the plans
of financial and commercial change, proposed by a govern-
ment having neither the power nor the intention of carrying
them into effect, it is right that I should more particularly
allude to them.

With respect to the corn-laws, I approve of the principle
of the graduated scale of the present laws, and, should any
new modification of them on that principle be brought for-
ward, would give it my most serious consideration ; but to the
proposed alteration to a fixed duty, I am adverse, as I think
it will lead to the ruin of our agricultural population, without
even benefitting the manufacturing classes. It will tend to
make this country dependent upon foreign countries for the
supply of corn, which, in time of great scarcity, either at
home or abroad, will be at a higher price to the consumer
than under the existing law.
An immense body of agricultural labourers, being thrown
out of employment, will seek it in manufacturing districts,
and thereby produce a great reduction in the wages of all the
working classes, by the competition arising out of surplus
labour ; and even allowing the price of bread to be cheaper,
which is very doubtful, the fall in the price of bread will not
be in proportion to the fall of the amount of wages.
I cannot, therefore, but consider the plan of a fixed duty
on corn as delusive.
I think the opportunity has been singularly ill-ehosen for
the alteration of the corn duties, as our West Indian colonies
are just beginning to recover their energies after the great
and successful experiment of Negro emancipation, and when,
both from them and from our East Indian possessions, a
more abundane supply of free-grown sugar is in every suc-
cessive year to be expected.
The government having given so little information as to
the benefits to be derived from the alteration of the timber
duties, and it being apparent that our Canadian trade and
shipping interests would sustain great injury by the alteration,
I need only say I am opposed to the plan as suggested by
the government.
I am not adverse to a careful revision of the import duties
by a strong and capable government possessing the confi-
dence of the country; but I look with distrust upon the
schemes of a ministry who bring forward such extensive
changes in our commercial relations, with the sole view of
creating temporary popularity in their favour, and of endea-
vouring by agitation to gain a few more votes at the ensuing
elections, to prop up their weak and tottering administration.
Having principally alluded to the most engrossing topics
of the present day, I pass over others on which my opinions
are, I believe, pretty well understood, and beg to assure you
that my time and services are again at your disposal, should
it be your pleasure for a third time to intrust me to your
important interests.--I remain, gentlemen, your obedient,
humble servant,

R. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM.

'auth Cbtsbire election.

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF
THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF CHESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
lIA.VING been honoured by a renewal of your desire that
I should again stand forward as a Candidate for the
distinction of representing you in Parliament. I should deem
myself unworthy of this reiterated mark of your kindness
did I suffer private feelings and predilections to obstruct for
one moment the course of public duty thus intimated to ma
in so flattering a manner. I therefore cheerfully submit to
your wishes.
. _ _

Her Majesty's ministers being about to appeal to the
country on the subject of the Corn-laws, I feel it due to you,
openly and explicitly, to declare my opinions on that im-
portant topic.
I consider the paramount objects sought for in the main-
tenance of a Corn-law to be these—to encourage the borne
growth of corn by affording adequate protection to the Bri-
tish farmer ; and, at the same time, to provide that the home
consumer shall not be liable to extravagant prices in seasons
of scarcity. _ _

Convinced that these ends have been fully attained by the
principle of the sliding scale now in operation, I cannot but
view with alarm the attempt about to be made by the govern-
ment of this country to substitute a fixed duty for the pre-
sent plan ; the results of which must be, that in average
seasons the home grower will not be able to compete with
the foreigner—large districts of corn land will be thrown out
of cultivation—and consequently, in times of centinental
scarcity, or of war, (our home produce being inadequate,)
the price to the consumer will be far more extravagant than
it ever can be under the regulations of the present fluctu-
ating scale.
On other subjects of political importance, I can confi-
dently appeal to the past as a guarantee that your interests
for the future will not be neglected should you again entrust
them to my care.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,Your obedient, Servant,
P. DE M. GREY EGIRTON.
Oulton Park, June, 1841.

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF
THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF CHESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
A Dissolution of Parliament being evidently at hand, I beg
.L 1 most respectfully to announce that the pledge given by
me to afford you, at this EVENTFUL CRISIS, an opportunity
of recording your votes, I am now ready to redeem.
The present Government—no longer an independent Go-
vernment—too weak to administer the affairs of this country,
and too tenacious of the advantages of office to relinquish
them, has succumbed to popular clamour and proposed a
total change in our just and admirable system of CORN-
LAWS—a measure which, If carried, would not only de-
prive the English landowner ar.d farmer of their property and
the English labourer of his means of subsistence, but the
manufacturer of his best and most certain market, thereby
proving ultimately as injurious to the one interest as imme-
diately destructive to the other.
Members of the IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC PARTY DOW
form a portion of the administration of the country, which,
in my opinion is incompatible with THE SAFETY OF oun
PROTESTANT CHURCH AND PROTESTANT LIBERTIES.
A Government thus composed, and se regardless of the
peace and well-being of the nation, as the existing one has
proved itself, by the introduction of measures alike detri-
mental to both, is altogether unworthy, and undeserving of
our confidence.
Having on a former occasion issued an address, I will only
now repeat the declaration then made, that " I submit to the
thraldom of no party;" and, in the event of a dissolution of
Parliament, I shall throw myself on the support of those
Electors who, like Inc, are determined to take that FICHE •
PENDENT COURSE which I conscientiously believe the exist-
ing state of affairs requires of every friend (whether Church-
man or Dissenter) to the PROTESTANT RlttaGtox, an of
every well-wisher to his Country.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
With sincere respect,
Your very faithful servant,
JOHN TOLLEMACHE.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF
DENBIGH.

GENTLEMEN,
MUCH as I lament the arrival of the moment which
terminates the connexion between us, I cannot allow
any feelings of personal regret to interfere with the gratifi-
cation I feel in seeing a Scion of the Old House of Wynn-
stay once more offered to your service. Long may he live
to fill his Father's place, and to add an additional lustre to
that name which has for so many centuries deserved the love
and gratitude of his native county !
Permit me to express a hope that, during the short time I
have had the honour of representing the County of Denbigh,
my conduct in Parliament has been such as to meet with
your approbation, and that you have not deemed me un-
worthy of the confidence you so kindly reposed in me.
It only remains for me to say, that I shall always look
back with unmingled satisfaction to the period during which
I had the honour of being your Representative, and that I
shall always feel the deepest interest in everything connected
with the welfare of the County of Denbigh.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and grateful servant,
