From James Plumpfon, Erg,

I certify that Mons. Levi removed a very troublesome corn
from my foot two years ago, which has not returned. I had
also extracted this day, a soft corn between the toes, with equal
skill and without the least pain.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—FnanAr„

Lord BROUGHAM brought under the consideration of
their lordships the state of the law, legislatively as well as
judiciously, in a speech of great length, in the course of
which he referred to his exposition of the subject some
twenty years ago. At that time a commission was formed
with a view to its improvement ; and the noble and learned
lord now stated all that had been done since that period,
and much that Still remained to be effected in order to cure
the extraordinary anomalies inits operation. The noble and
learned lord concluded by laying on the table a bill to
amend and consolidate the criminal law of England so far
as related to indictable offences and the punishment
thereof.
The bill was read a first time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
Mr. HUME stated the nature of the motion which he in-
tended to make on the 23d of the present month. It
would be to the effect that the present House of Com-
mons did not fairly represent the property and industry of
the country, and that it was necessary to enlarge the fran-
chise to the extent of household suffraze, to adopt the sys-
tem of vote by ballot, and to limit the duration of parlia-
ment to three years.
Mr. WooD moved for a select committee to inquire into
the allegations contained in the petition of certain electors
and inhabitants of the borough of Stamford, which was
presented upon the 14th day of March last, complaining of
the interference of the Marquis of Exeter, a peer of the
realm, and lord lieutenant of the county of Northampton,
at the late and former elections of members to serve for the
said borough.
Mr. T. D'EYNCOURT seconded the motion.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he had so much doubt in coming
to a decision on this subject. that he would not seek to
influence the vote of any hon. gentleman who might have
formed a different judgment on the matter. He thought
it would be well to have some further inquiry, in order to
set the public mind at rest, if the allegations could be dis-
proved. Under all the circumstances he would support
the appointment of a select committee.
Sir R. PEEL said the petitioners had put forward direct
allegations of bribery and intimidation, and the proper
tribunal to have gone before would have been an election
committee, where the facts could have been thoroughly
sifted. Not having done this, they had no right now to
come to Par liament and ask it to appoint a new tribunal
to investigate the matter. Under these considerations he
should vote against the appointment of the committee.
The llouse then divided, and the motion was carried
by a majority of 178 to 177.
The announcement of the numbers was received with
loud cheering from both sides of the house.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY.

After a discussion on the merits of free trade and pro-
tection, to which Lord G. BENTINCK gave rise, by putting
a question to Lord J. Russell respecting her Majesty's
commands to the ladies of England, that in attending
court they should appear attired in dresses exclusively the
product of native industry,
Mr. MACGREGOR called the attention of the House to
the management and expenditure of our naval dockyards,
the former of which he characterised as defective and the
latter as extravagant, and concluded by moving for a se-
lect committee to inquire into the whole subject.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY.
A number of bills were postponed to various periods,
amongst which were Parliament (Ireland) Bill, the Roman
Catholic Trust Bill, Appeals in Criminal Cases Bill, and
the Horsham Borough Bill. The house then went into
committee on the Joint Stock Companies Bill, when Mr.
Hudson protested against a clause in the bill, which ren-
dered it necessary for the shareholders of a company wish-
ing to wind up its affairs to go before a Master in Chan-
cery in London, in order to get the accounts audited.
This would lead to great inconvenience, and, instead of
such a process, they might allow them to go before any of
the local commissioners of bankruptcy, or before a Mas-
ter in Chancery, at their own option. The suggestion
gave rise to considerable discussion, and eventually Mr.
111. Gibson, on the part of the government, conceded the
alteration. The clause was then postponed for the purpose
of inserting the contemplated alteration, and the remain-
ing were agreed to.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The space required for advertisements has prevented the in-
sertion of many articles which would otherwise have
appeared.
We are not able to give all the information required by " A
Tradesman in Birkenhead." The opponents of the new
Dock Bills are, we believe, the Liverpool Dock Trustees,
who object to the proposed powers of rating, the bond-holders
of the Birkenhead Docks, and owners of property there who
appear to prefer an equitable amalgamation with the Liver-
pool Dock Estate, the owners of coasting vessels, and the
Cheshire Junction Railway Company, who oppose the rating
powers as being inconsistent with the first act oflB-14, on the
faith of which the railway company executed works of an
expensive character. There seems to be now some doubt of
the bills passing.
We have no room for any further correspondence between Mr.
Fowler and Mrs. Maury. There is no prospect of convincing
a lady who says, " My sentiments are those of every human
being who has common sense," and who has no further
regard for accuracy of judgment than to hazard the assertion
that "The Republic of the United States is the one only stable
government existing at this moment in the world." A cor-
respondent expresses his surprise why i` Mrs. Maury be of
a stable opinion she does not fix her permanent abode in
that " one only stable government."

AND STOMACH COMPLAINT

Extract of a Letter front the Earl of Aldborough, dated Villa
Messina, Leghorn, 21st February, 1845.
To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.

Sia,—Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my
thanking you before this time for your politeness in sending
me your pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of send-
ing you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add
that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver
and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at
home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect ;
nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish
to have another Box and a Pot of the Ointment, in case any
of my family should ever require either.
Your most obliged and obedient servant,
(Sig,tred) ALDBOROUGH.

Sold at the Establishment of Professor HOLLOWAY, 244,
Strand, (neat Temple Bar,) London, and by most all respectable
Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the civilized
world, at the following prices :—I s. I M., 2s. 9d., 4s. ed., l I s.,
225., and 335. each box. There is a considerable saving by tak-
ing the larger sizes.
N.B.—Directions for the Guidance of Patients in every
dinnrder are adixed to each box.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

AMERICA.
The Washington steam ship, Captain Johnston, arrived
at Cowes on Wednesday, after a good passage of fourteen
and a half days from New York. She left on the evening
of the 25th, having been detained from the 20th. The
Acadia had arrived out. The Washington brings 60
passengers and 350,000 dollars in specie.
A fire had broken out at Albany, in the rear of the resi-
dence of N. Starks on the south-west corner of Westero
and Church-streets. The entire block, bounded by
Church, Westerlo, John, and Dallius streets, was burned
to the grour.d, including the church on Westerlo-street.
One or two houses on Dallius-street escaped. Almost all
the houses on the south side of John-street, between
Dallius and Church, were burned.
The Sarah Sands, 18 days from Liverpool, arrived at
New York on the 21st ult., and the Acadia, 161 days
from Liverpool, reached Boston on the 23d. The Euro-
ran intelligence conveyed byl those vessels had caused
great excitement and uneasiness in New York, and a gene-
ral European war was considered inevitable. The Acadia's
advices had the effect of lowering the price of cotton about
lc. to *c. per lb. Bread stuffs of all sorts remained firm.
The orders from the continent to sell American State
Stocks had made the market for Pennsylvanians and Ohios
heavy.
The money market generally was not so tight, and
loans and advances on good security were more easily
abtaina'Jle ; the banks were in a strong position, and
specie gradually flowing in from the interior. The a-
amount of coin shipped for the week ending 15th of April
was 686,275 dol. ; and from January Ist to April 15th
inclusive, 3,809,554 dol. The receipts of the American
Customs for the fiscal year were estimated by the secre-
tary of the Treasury to amount to 31,000,000 dol., of
which 28,000,000 dol. had already been realized. Ex-
change on London was firm at 1101 to 111.
