MOXON'S
EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APERIENT,
Decidedly the most generally useful Medicine ever offered
to the Public.

TIII: unrivalled efficacy of the Magnesian in all Disorders
of the Stomach and Bowels, has obtained for it the uni-
form recommendation and approval of the Faculty.
This unique preparation unites all the active powers of
the most approved saline purgatives, with the palatable qua-
lities of a glass of soda water. In torpid state of the liver
and bowels, bilious affections, cholera inorbus, pains in the
head or disordered state of the stomach, nausea, and violent
sickness, it will be found a safe, speedy, and effectual remedy.
It gives instantaneous relief in the heartburn, is of great
service in preventing piles, fistula, and gout, and in allevia-
ting the febrile symptoms attendant on the latter affection.
Derangement of the stomach, and head, &c. arising froth too
free indulgence in the gratifications of the table, is speedily
removed by a tea-spoonful taken early in the morning.

AUSTRALIA.—O❑ Tuesday last, the novel spectacle was
presented of three fine ships sailing together down the Mersey,
with a fair wind, full of passengers of a most respectable class:
many of them, we understand, took out large amounts of
property. In one of the ships, bound for Swan River, we saw
many elegantly dressed ladies as they alighted from their
carriages ; and on board the Hindoo, in which they embarked,
were several fine-looking scotch shepherds, all with their
sheep-dogs. The Hindoo, we learn, is bound for Swan
River, filled, principally, with ladies and gentlemen from
Ireland. The Trafalgar and the Hero of Malown are both
for Sydney direct.—Albion.

COFFEE.-It is well-known that this wholesome and de-
lightful beverage is very generally adulterated, especially. in
provincial towns, with a mixture of succory. The following
is at once a simple and certain method of detecting succory in
ground coffee, and, if attended to, will serve as an index to
guide the purchaser to the merchant with whom he ought to
deal :—Fill a wine glass with pure cold water—with finger
and thumb sprinkle a little of the suspected coffee on the still
surface of the water. if unadulterated the powder will re-
pose on the water; but, if mixed, particles will continue to
sink, and in about a minute the water will become the colour
of sherry wine.

OUR COMMERCIAL
E INTERESTS-TRADE TO
THEAST.

At the present moment, when the news from the East is of
so great interest, the following extracts from an address de-
livered by Mr. Urquhart, to the Newcastle Chamber of Com-
merce on Thursday week, will be found valuable. Of the
meeting the Newcastle Joernal, to whom we are indebted for
our report, says :—•"lhe Hall of the Merchants' Court was
crowded atone o'clock, by the moat numerous attendance we
have ever witnessed'iu this town, cmuprising the oldest and
most influential merchants of the district, of every shade and
party, and every class of interest. It must have been gra-
tifying tothecommercial community to perceive at a meet-
ing, devoted exclusively to mercantile objects, in the pre-
senceor gentlemen of the county, and officers of the army,
an interest extending to other classes on subjects more pecu-
liarly their own."
Mr. Urquhart proceeded to address the meeting during
an exposition of neatly two hours duration. Mr. Urquhart

7
0 11rIrrwil-.
r T LUlrtroosinervai and their oatm i eal nterests, he had
' way to touch upon, and had nothing to do with mea-
sures connected with party politics, or doctrines connected
with peculiar systems; that he wished to direct their atten-
tion wholly and exclusively. to the management of British
interests in foreign countries, which, though the chief end
for which any government is established, have been singu-
larly, almost entirely neglected by the people of this coun-
try. Mr. Urquhart divided the subject into two parts, Ist,
Rights infringed ; 2d. Realisable advantages neglected.—
Under the former head he enumerated-1. Infractions or
right on the subject of loans.-2. Violation of treaty respect-
ing the commerce of Java.—Violation of stipulations in the
treaty of Vienna, in our commerce with Poland, Cracow,
Ecc.-4. Violation of previous commercial rights in Greece
under the new system and transfer of a mortgage from Bri-
tish capitalists to Russia and France.-5. German Customs'
Union, submission to foreign influence over independent
states directed to the, exclusion of British commerce.-6.
Circassia; the surrender of natural and treaty rights; abro-
gation and perversion of maritime law.-7. Algeria ; abro-
gation of -treaty rights in the establishment of the French
tariff.-8. Senegal; violent interference by France to ruin a
branch of British trade (the gum trade).-9. New Albion ;
theft by Russia of a British colony.-10. Mexico • inter-
ference with the course of British vessels on the high seas;
attempt hitherto unsuccessful, of interfering with neutral
commerce where there is no war, of blockading ports where
.•..

tiere are no hostilities.-11. Buenos Ayres; ditto, ditto,
more aggravated.-12. Fisheries; exclusion of Great Bri-
tain and her colonies from the tialeries of her own eoasts by
the virulent interference of the subjects of France and the
citizens of the United States.-13. Denmark; discriminating
duties on transit through Holstein in favour of Russia against
Great Britain.-14. Hanover ; Stade duties; violation of
treaties of Vienna.-15. Basque Provinces: support given to
government of Spain in extinguishing the commercial im-
munities of those provinces, and thereby violating the rights
whisk those institutions gave to British commerce.—!G.
Wallachia and Moldavia; regulations jointly established by
Russia and Turkey, interfering with the previous stipula-
tions,-whereby the rights of British commerce and of British
merchants are secured throughout the Ottoman dominions.
In addition to those points where there is positive infrac-
tion of treaty stipulation, and of international right, there
are others most deeply interesting to the present welfare and
future existence of this country, in which a displacement is
in progress of actual territorial possession, political influence,
or commercial exchange—interesting England not merely
by the positive amount of injury inflicted, but by the position
of hostility which powerful nations are gradually assuming
towards her. Such as the occupation by France of the
Amazon river; the extension of France in Africa; her pre-
tensions to fisheries in the British channel; her pecuniary
demands and hostility against states whose revenues are
mortgaged to England for loans; the general aggressive
character of ittissian policy in Europe, Asia, and America;
the encroaching spirit of the United States in the north, and
in the south, and in the west; the precarious position of
Turkey and Persia; Afghanistan, Lahore, and Burmah, and
the consequent insecurity of our commercial relations in all
points directly or indirectly affected by the independence of
these estates and other affinity to Great Britain. But the
object of most serious alarm perhaps impending over this
country at the present moment, is the violation in the dark
of the convention of September, 1827, between the United
States of America and Great Britain, whereby the long
pending differences respecting the north-east boundary of the
United States were referred to the final decision of the
sovereign arbitrator.
The second branch of the subject Mr. Urquhart stated to
be the neglect of realisable advantages, either through the
negligence of the government, or the ignorance of the
nation.
lit. Fields of enterprise that have been left unoccupied
where no restriction impeded the circulation of our com-
merce. These fields extended more particularly over
Southern America, Northern Africa, South-Eastern Europe,
and the whole of Asia. The elucidation of them could be
intellible or interesting only when given with considerable
detail, and the slightest sketch would occupy more time than
the present audience could afford for the review of the whole
'abject.
2nd. Neglect of adapting our tariff to realise objects
equally desired by all, and to which there is no opposition.
but which are left uninquired into and unknown, in conse-
quence of the absence of union amongst the commercial
communities, and of that energy which convictions and a
purpose alone can give.
3rd. The non-direction of our diplomacy to procuring ad-
vantages for the commerce of Great Britain, and, in conse-
quence of the absence of such direction, the inertness and
uselessness of that branch of the public service which, from
the moment that it is incapable of giving a useful and bene-
ficial impulse to the public interests, becomes necessarily the
tool of the superior intelligence of other powers, and through
the sacrifice of commercial rights entails positive loss, has
raised up extensive hostility, has deprived Great Britain
alike of the alliance of governments, and of the friendship
of nations, and has almost placed tier in the alternative with
the great states of the world of collision, with means unpre-
pared, or of submission to aggressions already perpetrated.
An opinion is very generally spread throughout England
respecting the progress of our manufactures, and the increase
°lour foreign trade, and this idea, perhaps more than any
other, leads to security and lulls to indifference. It is, there-
fore, by no means irrelevant, in pressing upon you the abso-
lute necessity of awakening to attention, and of rousing to
exertion, on behalf of the compromised rights and interests
of this land, to show that that opinion is unfounded, and, con-
sequently, that that security is misplaced.
EXPORTS OF GREAT BRITAIN.

1801 £39,730,659 1 1821.........£36,659,630
1011 spiv t 0.7 1r •
During the present century, in which such stupendous
powers have been called into being, while England bas exer-
cised such controuling influence over the destinies of man-
kind, wonderfully little or no progress has been made. If we
except the years 1835-6, the amount of our trade has not
equalled that which we carried on when at war with all Eu-
rope, and when every port of the north and west of Europe
was closed against us. The average exports from 1801 to
'lO was £40,737,970; from 1811 to '2O the average was
£41,484,461; from 1821 to '3O the average fell to £36,597,623.
Since then our exports have been progressively advancing.,
and in 1838 they were £53,368,571, exceeding by £1,765,623
the exports of 1815, the previously most active year. In
1837 they fell 12 millions (official value).
Since the peace the population of France has increased
seven millions, of Russia twelve millions, of Germany five
millions, of Austria five millions. Our consumers have in-
creased nearly 30,000,000. '['he great reduction in the cost
et manufacture, the facilities of transport originally deve-
loped, and-in many respects exclusively preserved, in Eng-
land, ought to have expanded the sale of her products in a'
still greater degree. We may, therefore, assume an expor-
tation of 30 millions instead of the 20M of 1815, as the repre-
sentation of an equal degree of prosperity; but, instead of
this sum in the year 1836, the year of such unwonted prospe-
rity, our exports to Europe amounted but to £17,500,000;
that is, to the excess of our trade in 1836 over 1832.

The excess of the Trade of America and France in 18.36

Trade of France and the United States was only equal to the
exports of England in 1833. '
the result of the official returns exhibited a positive dimi-
maims of etportation at the same time that there was an in-
crease in our own population, and in the population of those
countries who were formerly our customers; and he contended
that means must be taken for extending our commerce, or
we must decline in the scale of nations. if their present state
was not irrevocable, it was their duty to endeavour to amend
it; and from this purpose, be expressed his belief that they
nut now look to the East and South Am erica.

Mr. Urquhart then examined the causes of our negligence,
Which he attributed to the want of unio❑ amongst the coin-
rwercial communities, so that becoming careless of each other's
interests, they became ignorant of, and indifferent to, the ge-
neral interests of the country. But now, in corning to a more
dispassionate inquiry into the circumstances in which they
stood, they were not to escape by throwing the blame upon
this or that public man, upon this or that adininisrtation.
Each individual present would find in his own breast the
causes of our decline, in the apathy with which he regarded
the. common weal, in his preference of party objects to na-
tional interests, and in his submission, as a member of the
most powerful nation in the world, to insults in that capacity
which, if submitted to in his individual person, would render
him an outcast from society.
Mr. Urquhart then entered into the detail of the cession of
the island of Java to the Dutch, and the process by which
the rights of that island, and of British commerce secured by
treaty, had been extinguished. He next read from the t reaty
the articles that had been infringed, and then several extracts
from a rote of the British plenipotentiaries, ending with mu-
tual coovatulations to the two governments on the new ca-
reer in Europe and in Asia of rivalry in commercial liberality
and in political friendship, based on mutual renunciation of
advanta,ges which they had that day proclaimed in the face
of the world. Was ever deception mere complete, or mock-
61:Y more glaring? And here it was not a time-serving mi-
anster—a party politician—or the subservient instrument of
foreign objects, but one of the greatest men which ttii coun-
try ever produced, George Canning, whom Holland under-
tO9k to deceive, and to commit with an assurance and a suc-
