respiratory organs, wnerehy they are enabled to discharge their
functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breath-

throw off those invidious attacks which too often lay the
groundwork of Consumption. For all temporary and local

" SIRS,—I feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to ac-

three years with a severe comb, and a disease on my lungs ; I

nave constmea some oi men in Manchester
and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo-
rary relief, for a short time, and always at a great expense. At
the latter end of 1844, I had occasion to visit London. Before
this time, I never heard of your invaluable Elixir; a friend
of mine recommended me to try it. As I found the London

OUR BRITISH SEAMEN AND TUE NAVIGATION

LAWS

• (From the Protestant Mayaztne)
We come now to the not to be mistaken Ministerial
insanity, in the proposed measure for extinguishing our
Navigation Laws, that long-tried foundation and strong-
hold of our national prosperity and pre-eminence, as the
first nation upon earth. The proposal to pull down this
grand fabric, wonderful to say, is now tamely listened to
by a bought and sold constituency, as if it were a vestry
measure for the purchase of a bell-rope. The time wag,
when every parish throughout the United Kingdom would
have met, and in a voice of thunder made their Petitions
be heard by every traitor to the best interests of our
country. Let us be thankful to God, that that noble,
that unique that uncreatable body of men by any other
State, need we name our British seaman, have risen as

one man in opposition

his suicidal attem

national existence. He would b a

after the demonstration which has just taken place in
London, would still persist in forcing on this last most
astonishing attempt utterly to ruin the country. Those
seamen who navigate foreign vessels will be bolder men
than we take them to be, should they, after this demon-
stration, intrude on the birthright of our own gallant tars.
To whom but to them, under God, is this country indebted,
from the earliest period of our existence, for safety from
foreign invasion ? The great Alfred was the first to act on
this truth, and to rear this defence, after the kingdom had
bren ravaged for centuries by the fire and sword of the
Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, and Norwegians. King
Harold. forgetting this lesson, lost his life and crown ;
and William of Normandy conquered, enabled by his
superior navy, under the auspices of the consecrated ban-
ner from the Pope,* to make good the landing of his
great army. What prevented us being, perhaps, now a
province of Spain, the slaves of priests, when the armada—
falsely called thelnvincible—sailed up the Channel to land
1 Parma and his thumb-screws and engines of torture and
1 destruction on our shore ?—The British navy ! the bless-
mg of the Almighty being with them.
What power prevented the French under Tourville from
forcing the besotted, priest-ridden monarch James 11. on
this nation ?—The navy, triumphant at the great battle of
