" hale, near Liverpool, December 10th, 1848.
"SIR,—I write to inform you of the great benefit I have re-
ceived from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recommended
to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that, when I lay
down, a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have
often thought I should not live to see the morning ; but now I
can sleep a whole night without coughing, after taking only two
boxes of Wafers. (Signed) " J. HAYES."

of which have entirely cured me.

Vrortrbings in parliament.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY.

The LORD ADVOCATE moved the third reading of the Mar-
riage (Scotland) Bill, the object of which, he said, was to give
publicity to marriages, so as to put a check to the evil of clan-
destine marrines, and to give time to stop fraudulent mar-
riages. 'I he third reading was carried by a majority of 73 to

68.- - _
The house having resolved itself into committee upon railways
and distressed unions in Ireland, and the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER proposed a vote for an advance of .e 500,000 at 31
per cent. (to be repaid in ten years) to complete the railway
between Athlone and Galway,—a Ion; discussion ensued, and
eventually the vote was agreed to, as was another of .150,000
to relieve certain unions in Ireland.
The Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and
passed. _ _

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY.
Mr. MILNICS called attention to the treatment and condition
of juvenile criminals, who were increasing in number every
year. Means, he observed, had been taken to secure their
summary trial; but, after conviction, they were no longer
treated as children; they were associated with other criminals,
and educated in crime. Parkhurst prison was a penal school,
in which the reformatory process was forgotten, and it was to
its penal character he attributed the unfitness of the Parkhurst
boys for independent action and for usefully serving their
country. Suggesting an asylum for criminal youth similar to
the Philanthropic Institution, he sketched out a system of
treatment, and concluded by pressing the subject upon the
attention of the Home Secretary, in whOse hands he left it for
the present, nominally moving for leave to bring in a bill.
Sir G. GREY admitted that much might be done with resnect
to juvenile criminals which would be less practicable with
hardened offenders; and that it was the duty of the Legislature
to keep the reformatory principle in view. In every system of
punishment two elements must unite,- which were apt to be
separated—namely, the deterring from crime, and the refor-
mation of the criminal. Parkhurst was a prison, not a mere
school; the two elements were there combined, and the effects
had been satisfactory, and had to a F,reat extent realized its ob-
ject. Sir George was ready to receive any proposition for the
improvement of the existing system, but the question was a
difficult one; crime must not be made the means of inviting
to crime by placing a child in an enviable position.
Mr. NIILNES undertook to lay a bill upon this subject en the
table before the session closed.
Mr. B. OsnoaNE then moved a committee of the whole house
to consider the temporalities of the Church of Ireland, which
Ile contended .o.sut to toa roora fairly annortionarj. l 4 wntild
reduce the number of the dignitaries of the church to one
archbishop with .44,000 per annum, and five bishops with
£2,000 a-year each ; and the surplus, after providing for the
real wants of the establishment, he would apply to the general
education of all elaascs of the people. lie had no wish to abo-
lish the Irish Church, or to interfere with the vested rights of
the present incumbents; but something must be done if they
wished to preserve Ireland tranquil.
Sir G. GREY thought the Protestant Church establishment
in Ireland anomalous and unjustifiable in .principle, but Mr.
Osborne's plan did not touch that grievance ; he proposed to
reduce the number of bishops from ten to five, but did he
propose any endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy ? The
Government had not abandoned that object; but the great
barrier was not merely the repugnance of the people of Eng-
land and Scotland, but the avowed and pertinacious opposition
of the Roman Catholic hierarchy to every scheme by which
their church could be endowed. He did not concur in the
broad dictum of Lord Brougham (if his lordship ever gave such
an opinion), that the property of the Irish Church and the pay
of the army stood upon the same footing; but he did recognise
a distinction between Church property and private property,
and Parliament had exercised the right of dealing with the
former.
Mr. G. HAMILTON, though he could not express his satis-
faction at the speech of Sir G. Grey, rejoiced at his determina-
tion to meet with a direct negative a motion which was calcu-
lated to renew those acrimonious religious dissensions in Ire-
land which had subsided. Mr. Hamilton then entered upon a
very full defence of the Irish Church, in the course of which he
showed the pluralities w. hich had been reduced ; that the pro-
perty of the church, if divided amongst the clergy eenerally,
would give only £l4l to each; that by the abolition of all
benefices in which there were no Protestants only £1,235
would be saved ; and he accused the statements of the mover
generally of exaggeration.
Mr. NAPIER was satisfied to rest the case of the Irish church
upon the speech of the hon. member for Dublin University,
who had put forward in a plain and unaffected manner the
material facts with regard to that church which had hitherto
been habitually misstated, and he hoped the explanation would
set at rest the question as to the revenues of the Irish church.
The hon. member for Oxford (Mr. Wood) had said, that the
present church in Ireland was established by Henry VIII.,
under an act of Parliament. Where, lie would ask, was that
act of Parliament? The fact was, that the temporalities of the
Irish church were given to her in the earliest times ; and her
origin was as ancient as that of the English church. A Roman
Catholic historian stated, that the Christian church in Ireland,
founded by St. Patrick, maintained its independence for above
700 years; that it had no connexion with the English church,
and differed upon many points from that of Rome; and that
its independence was destroyed at the Council of Cashel under
the influence of Henry VIII. If they went to the argument
that the property was transferred, it was transferred from the
church which existed before the Council of Cashel. He was
quite ready to compare the existing church in Ireland, both as
to doctrine and discipline, with the earliest church in Ireland.
Had the property of that church been increased ? No, it had,
been diminished. Had the discipline of that church been al-
tered? No. Its bishops were the real descendants of the
early bishops. He was willing to try the doctrines of that
church by the Word of God, and by the early doctrines of the
church of Ireland; and he contended that its ministers were
the successors of the early church of Ireland, and were legally
entitled to the property of the church. He would ask hon.
gen tletpen opposite, did they want to establish the Roman
Catholic religion in Ireland ? Did they want the property of
the church? He would appeal to dissenters—did they want
toleration and liberty? They had it. What had they to pay
for the church—what did the nation pay for it? Was the
church establishment of Ireland too large for the Protestants
of that country? According to his notion of what a church
ought to he, it was not.
After speeches from one or two other members, the motion
was rejected by a majority of 170 to 103.
