was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
tREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to m the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced tooth e notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX

may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS, _ _

but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

take the hiniT And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet; sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage• It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age.
LE GRAND GOURMAND

will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

A ipecial meeting of the Town council was held at eleven
o'cicic on Wednesday morning. Sir Joshua Walmsley, the
maw, presided.

SWEEPINGS

Mr CURILIE, in the absence of the chairman of the Watch
Comnittee, proposed that a declaration should be passed by
the anima, to the effect that they would purchase the land
on tht east side of the canal, now used as a depot for
sweepngs of the streets. He mentioned that the lease which
the corporation now had of the land in question would ex-
pire of the 15th of September next, at which time, if not
previously bought by them, the owner would have the liberty
of sellitg it to any other party. It was essentially necessary,•
for the vell,being of the town, that the Watch Committee
should is possessed of such a place ; and the one to the east
of the canal offered some advantages. Scarcely one-half of

it wouldbe required us a depot; the remainder might very
advantageously be leased off as yards, as was proved by the
fact of several applications having already been made to the
surveyor. In addition to this, nearly £l,OOO had been ex-
pended ii ma' '

g a basin there. The whole purchase-money
for the laed would be :C12,480, and for works thereon £l,OOO,
making a total of £13,480

IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL

In a committee on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland)
Bill, the postponed clauses were agreed to, with amendments.
On schedule A being proposed, Lord WYNFORD moved that
Dublin be omitted from schedule A.

The Marquis of NORMANBY observed, that if their lord-
ships meant to show favour to the really most exclusive cor-
porate body in Ireland—if they meant to show favour to gross
corporate delinquency—to flagrant mismanagement of corpo-
rate funds—they would undoubtedly agree to the motion of
the noble and learned lord; but he hoped they would show
the sincerity of their alleged desire to do justice to Ireland,
by rejecting the motion by a large majority.

A discussion ensued.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said, he should vote against
the amendment of his noble friend, but he hoped they would
be able to send back this bill to the House-of Commons as
perfect as it could be made.
The Bishop of EXETER heard the conclusion at which the

noble duke had come with great regret.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE went into a detail of the
abuses and corrupt jobbing of the corporation of Dublin. The
result of the whole of the evidence was, that the corporation
of the city of Dublin had incurred an enormous debt, and had
misapplied an enormous revenue, and had systematically
acted in violation of the principle of the act, which opened
the door of the corporations to persons of all religious per-

suasions.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY supported the amendment.
On a division, the amendment was negatived, and the clause
wag retained by a majority of 82 to 35.
The house resumed, and the bill, as amended, was ordered
to be reported on Monday.—Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY.
•
The Drainage of Settled Estates Bill was referred to a se-
lect committee.

CHIMNEY SWEEPERS BHA

The Marquis of NORMANBY, after presenting some peti-
tions in its favour, moved the second reading of the Chimney
Sweepers Bill. He thought the number of petitions pre-
sented on the subject showed that there was a great and ge-
neral feeling of sympathy excited respecting it ; but he pre-
'ferred , instead of glowing appeals to their lordships' humanity,
to address them as practical men, and to show them the prac-
tical advantage that would result from this measure. He
thought the best evidence that could be adduced on this sub-
ject was that of the proprietors of insurance companies, who
were universally most urgent for the passing of this measure,
and, as he had been informed, had subscribed £lOO towards
its furtherance. The next evidence he would allude to was
that of the builders, as evidenced by the statement of Mr.
Cubitt, the head of their profession. The next evidence in
its ffivour was, that it had passed the other house of parlia-
ment without a dissentient voice, and without alteration.—
(Hear, hear.) The noble marquis then stated several cases,
instancing the great cruelty which had been suffered by chil-
dren of very youthful years in various parts of the kingdom.
Under these circumstances he thought their lordships could
not hesitate to pass a bill which sought to remedy these
abuses. At the present period of the session, to refer this
bill to a select committee would be equivalent to its rejection.
He had no party wishes in urging this measure. He was
simply urging the cause of the helpless; and he did trust
their lordships would concur in passing this bill, and thus
relieve a portion of our fellow-creatures from a degrading and
cruel system, which robbed childhood and youth of its health
and buoyancy, and either consigned it to an early grave, or
to the evils and sufferings of a premature old age.—(Hear,
hear, hear.) _ _ .

The bill was read a second time, and, on the motion of the
Earl of H ADDINGTON, by a majority of 91 to 77, referred to
a select committee, for the purpose of hearing parties.

THE EPITAPH of MARGEAY SCOTT, in the Parish
Churchyard of Dunkehl, in Scotland :
Stop, reader, here, until my life you've read,
The living may gain knowledge from the dead:
Four times five years I lived a virgin's life,
Ten times five years I was a marzicd wi e,
Ten times five years a widow, grave a chaste ;
Now, weary'd of this mortal life, I st.
I, from my cradle to my grave, h seen
Eight mighty Kings of Scotland d a Queen ;
Four times five years the Comm nwealth I saw,
Ten times the subjects rise against the law;
Twice did I see old Prelacy pulled down,
And twice the cloak did sink beneath the gown ;
An end of Stuart's race I saw, nay, more,
I saw my country sold for English ore ;
Such desolation in my time has been,
That I've an end of all perfection seen.

THE WILL OF THE LATE DUKE OF BEDFORD.—The
will of the most noble John Duke of Bedford has just been
proved in the Prerogative Court of the Lord Archbishop of
Canterbury in Doctors' Commons, by the most noble Francis,
Duke of Bedford, formerly the Marquis of Tavistock, son of
the deceased. The personal property of the noble duke is
sworn under £250,000 ; Lord John Russell receives a legacy
of £50,000. The late lamented Lord Win. Russell (v ho is
also a legatee under the will), whose melancholy end by the
hands of an assassin has created such an extraordinary sen-
sation throughout the country, was one of the executors,
with Lord George Wm. Russell ; but the latter renounced
his trust. The will is extremely long, being contained in
nearly 70 sheets of brief paper.—Britannia.

lUr OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE-
.LvJ. RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or
Habitual Costiveness, Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable
cure and preventive of Gout.
This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much
study and experiment, is fast superseding all o er medicines
of its class, and is now very enera ly ack wledged to be
the best purgative ever introducedg ataa,publ medicine. The
almost unprecedented sale which it
s,
dhaas aroused
the cupidity of many unprincipled pers° whof
are always
ready to take advantage of the popularityeeno nother's
invention ; and this medicine has therefore
noneb vnetryexten-
sively imitated, by Compounds possessingits pro-
perties. Purchasers can only rely 'apon the Government
Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Mo:icon and
Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engraved
on
This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation.
Not Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its v
properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many
members of the medical profession, (among others those of
Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility,
clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, b
all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all others
medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE; and as an invaluable
companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical
countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary
student ; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the
bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon-
ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will
restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant
symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to
usual time-of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally
prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack,
without that injury to the constitution which is consequent
upon the use of colchicum arid other strong sedatives.
To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick-
headache, n other affections caused by an imperfect
performance of ;he' functions of the digestive organs, it affords
a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once
effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant
symptoms. Testimonialssfrom several medical and other
gentlemen are inserted in the hill inclosing each bottle.
Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 4s. Gd and lls. each bottle, by all
respectable Medicine Vendors.; ad wholesale by Barclay
and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and
