Dr. DAVIESON continnes to direct his Ateation to those dis-
orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence.
of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of
nervous affections, but alSo entails on its votaries all the ener-
vating inibeeitities of old age. In that distressing state of de-
bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha
bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the poirers
of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and
speedy restoration to sound and vigOrons health.
It is d melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve•
nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, wha,
by the use or that deadly poison,- Mercury, ruin the constitution,
and when the great Doctor Swedonr become Professor at Ley-
den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man-
kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this
deplorable'complaint. Never did a discovery excite a otreater
sensation. it•was sought after with avidity, and used with the
underiafing success-in the most minute and, intricate cases of
the delicate complaint. fair the cure of which they have been se
lug celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany,
concert their speedy introduction into almost every country. The
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many" thousands.. lai fact, dOring the long conti-
neotal war they were the inseparabla•vompanion and safeguard
of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained.. What medicine can he more appropriate
than that which hasgiven such general satisfaction ? The Ilyge-
ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,litiri-
fying in their progress the whole mass Of ftnida. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate imy their -action the different
functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a
Manner so mild and imperceptible as to .convince the most
sceptical of their 'astonishing and . unequalled powers. •The
neither contain mercury nor anrother mineral, itnil may he
taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require
no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but
effect a complete cure, without. the least exposure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be
well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken
before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain
preventive, by moving The complaint effectually and secretly.
The aeOlorable state in which many persons' hive been when
visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
Mineral when injudiciously administered.
TheAs Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by

then brought' up, and the bill was ce-committed, when Mr.
O'CONNELT, moved, that in the 6th clause the words " rated for
the poor'.' be omitted, and the following words, "should be of
the yearly value of £10," be subitituted.—Afto a long discus-

place. This petition was rejected; on account of its informality.

so, his lo.dship addressed the house at considerable length on
the conduct of her Majesty's ministers, and their policy in re-
gard to the war in Spain.
Lord MEr.nounNE said that there would be no objectinn to
the production of such papers, the publicity of which would not
be. inconsistent with the public service.
Lord LYNDHURST strongly condemned the policy of minis-
ters regarding the war in Spain, and commented in terms of se-
verity on the proceedings and generalship of Sir De Lacy Evans.
The Earl of CA RNARVON also condemned the proceedings of
government, which were the more particularly reprehensible,
inasmuch as their sanction of the legion tended to encourage
the trade in war, without auy of the higher motives, but for the
sake of the mere pay. _

After ieutarks from the Marquis of LANSIWINNE, &e., the pa-
pers were ordered.

HOUSE oF COMMONS.—TUESDAY

Sir S, CANNING gave notice that to-morrow he should move
for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the
circumstances connected with the capture of the Vixen by a
Russian frigate. He took the earliest possible opportunity of
giving'uotice of his motion.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, he was fearful his noble friend the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs would not be able to attend in his
place to-morrow, as_he was suffering from indisposition. He
therefore trusted, in the absence of the noble lord, the hun. mem-
ber Would not press his motion. ..
Sir S. CANNING said he did not wish to press his motion at an
inconvenient time.

[Left sitting.l

The Earl of Mulgrave, they say, at the ensuing coronation,
is to be created Marquis of Nortnauby. The order for the mar-
chioriess's coronet is already in the hands of Storr and Morti-
mer.—Court Gazette. [Tire noble earl's excessive couriership in
the royal stand at Ascot was generally regarded as betokening
something in expectancy.]
GREAT WESTERN COTTON FACTORY.—We hear that the
hands at the factory have this week been put into training, pre-
paratory to operations bee❑ prosecuted on an extensive scale.
The machinery is of the most beautiful description, combining
the la!est improvements with the utmost skill in workmanship.
—Felix Farley.
TYRANNY OF UNIONIST STONE-M A SONS.—We have heard
of a case of persecution, by the operative stone-masons, of this
town, which we think deserves:publicity, both that it may shew
the spirit in which the stone-masons' unio❑ is uphefd, and also
because it may. induce some person, wanting a workman, and
not tearing the unionists, to employ a man whose only crime, so
far as we can learn, has been, that he would not belong to the
union. For this, he has twice within the past week, been co►n-
pelled to quit his work, by all the other inasJns threatening to
strike if he did not do so ; he has been ill-treated; and his life
has been threatened, if he did not either immediately-leave his
work, or submit to pay a line of enormous amount, indeed equi-
valent to three weeks' or a month's. wages.. This it was out of
his power to pay; and he has therefore been driven from his
work, and must be compelled to seek it elsewhere, through the
tyranny of the union, with its .president, its secretary, district
secretary, and all the other officers, who contrived to allow
themselves a liberal amount weekly during the last winter, out
of the union funds, in the strike which they compelled the-trade
to make, though nearly one-half of the men were wholly. averse
to any such rash and foolish proceeding. We are in-posssession
of the mason's d'eme and other circumstances, which we deem
it unnecessary at present to notice; and we may add that we
should be g!ad to convey to him any offer of work, either from
a master mason, or from any gentleman who may hay, enough
to employ one man for a time.—lllancliester Guru lan.
DREA I)F.EL Acci DENT TO AN ETON SCHOL A R.—OR Thursday
evening a dreadful accident happened to the Hon. Mhles,
one of the students at Eton College, and son of Lord -Sondes.
This young ;„,rentleanan, who, is we understand, 15 or lb years of
age, went,-with a number of his fellow-collegians, to the theatre,,
and as they are accustomed to do—much to the annoyance of
the rest of the audience—commenced playing their usual pranks,
one of the ineSt dangerous of which is, to get into the gallery
and let themselves dow❑ to the boxes and pit. It is surpri,ing
that no fatal accident has ere now occurred to any of them in
trying. that dangerous experiment, but it is hoped that 1 he injury
done to Lord Sondes's son will operate as a warning for the fu-
ture. In descending from the gallery a fellow-student held his
hatids, and another Stood in the boxes underneath, to guile his
feet to the pillar, when, unfortunately, the boy in "he gallery
let. go his hands too early, and Mr. Milks fell with great violence
into the pit. Ile was immediately. taken up and carried to the
green-room, where everything that could be thought of was done
by Mr. Penley, the manager, who was evidently much distressed
at the occurrence. Sir John Chapman and Mr. Solev, surgeon's,
were sent for, and speedily arrived, when it was hiaird that the
unfortunate boy had received a severe fracture in the load, and
other injuries of a serious charaCter. The sufferer was imme-
diately taken horrie in a carriage, and an express sent to Loudon
to Lor'd Sondes; oho arrived with the family medical atttendant
at about one o'clock in the morning, We understand that Mr.
Milles is now out•of danger, but he still liey ►n a very bad state.

QUANTITY OF COAL AND LIME PRODUCED IN STAFFORD-
SHIIIE.—If we assume that, on an average, six tons of coal are
consumed in producing one ton of pig iron, and this certainly
does not exceed the fact, we shall have a consumption of 1,404000
tons of coal annually in the smelting of iron alone. Of the
23.1,000 tons of pig iron yearly, produced, prodahly about two-
'thirds are converted into barirun, thus requiring a vast additional
consumption of t,oal. Every colliery has one or more steam
engines for winding the coal ; must of theth, an engine for draw-
ing water also; and in these engines the coal is most profusely,
or lather, indeed, extravagantly used. When wrr add to these
demands the consumption of the dense population of the neigh-
bouring district, of the manufactories of Birmingham, and other
places:in the vicinity; the quantity employed for burning lime,
and other minor uses, it witl•not perhaps be an exaggeration to
double the quantity used for the iron furnaces alone, and to state
the quantity of coal produced by the South Staffordshire coal-
field, as a little short of three million tons per annum.—The
quantity of limestime quarried annually by processes more
laborious and expensive than are generally required in obtaining
this-mineral, is not undeServing of notice. I; is generally con-
sidered, that about one ton of limestone is required in smelting
a ton of iron; thus giving a,consumption of limestone in the
iron-works alone of more than 230.000 tons per annum., If to
thif we add the quantity used for mortar.and cement, for m anure,
and other purposes, it will be evident that the produce of lime-
stone must equal, if not exceed, 300,000 tons per annum.—

CONTINUED BLOCKADE OF THE MEXICAN PORT

The •Delight packet, Lieutenant Lory, arrived this morning
from Mexico and the Havannah, having sailed from Tampico
on the 3d, from Vera Cruz on the Bth, and from the Havannah
on the 22d of May. This vessel brings a full confirmation of the
active blockade of the Mexican ports by the French squadron,
which commenced on the 16th of April, and was maintained
vigorously up to the Delight's sailing, although not a gun had
been fired by either party. Only one vessel (the Ann Eliza),
from New York, with a cargo of cocoa, ciumimon, &c., had
succeeded in getting into port, and five others, two of which
were Mexican, two French, and one British, had been stopped
in making the attempt, and sent to Sacrificios, where they were
guarded by the Hermione French frigate. The government
still persisted in refusing; totu accede to the terms of the French,
and appeared to be welt supported by the majority of the peo-
ple in that resolution, although it was daily becoming more and
more evident that the principal resources of the Treasury—viz.
• the receipt of duties from the custom-houSe—would be cut off
The country was kept perfectly tranquil, though several propo-
sitions had been made in Congress fur the expulsion from the
republic of the French residents, and for the prohibition of the
produce and manufactures of France under any flag whatever.
By a law recently paSsed in Congress, the former extra duty of
1 per cent. on valuation had been revived fOr the purpose of
repairing the Mole at Vera Cruz, and other public works. This
duty was Eolnerly charged '2 per cent; on the amount of duties,
but on the principles of the new tariff. would be equal to 3 1-3 d
per cent. on the importation duties.
The Delight has broug.lit a freight of 315,000 dollars from
Mexico; and the Alert,packet, from England, was entering
Vera Cruz as site left. The privileges of the packet service
were fully recognised and respected by the blockading squadron.
The merchants ou the. coast were of opinion that the French,
if they maintained their blockade, Would ultimately compel the
republic to conic to terms from the privations they would, cause,
although their tleinancis were universally cousidered most un-
just. ,No conducta. had. recently reached the coast.frona the
interior.—Times, Wednesday.

The folloviting has been received at Lloyd's
• " VERA CRUZ, APRIL 24.

" Sir,—We have the honour of stating, tor the information of
the Committee of Lloyd's, that the long talked of blockade of
this port by the French naval force was put in force on the 16th
of this mouth,
. which measure was officially notified to the differ-
ent fOreign -consular agent's by the French Consul, there being
no prospect of an amicable adj ustnient of the existing differences
with, and claims of the French government, without the inter-
vention of an European power. The Frenchle,ration.has left
Mexico and embarked on board the Hernaione, frigate, still at
anchor at Sacrificios.‘

" In our usual list you will find the vessels wilich have been
detained or sent to Sacrificios by the blockadiressels. The
New York packet, Ann Eliza, was fortunate enough to reach
the port without being warned off. .Her Majesty's packets are
allowed to enter and leave our ports without being molested or
interfered with. (Signed)
