JT PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particularly
• to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the
undermentioned selection of Preparations.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the
Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself,
and combines scientific skill with great accuracy ; and though
numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and
others, have of late years attempted imitations, they have
invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither
possessing toe agreeable flavour nor the medicinal properties
of the Seidlitz Waters.

Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for expor-
tation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in
all climates.

THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsfiTl of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal i❑ strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. fro.n the face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the ❑ame of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consists of its extractive matter, and it pos-
sesses no real property in the form of essence, while the
syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid
fermentation.

VEGETABLE HAIR OIL
Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating
and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf,
nourishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most
beautiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar
softness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in bot-
tles at is 3d. and 3s. each.

VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.
A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes
all tartarous incrustations from the enamel; and by its pecu-
liar properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in
Boxes, 2s. Gd.
PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE.

trouble. This paste is used for cleaning and polishing every
description of furniture, whatever preparation may have been
previously used for that purpose, it adds a high lustre to
French Polish.—Sold in Pots at Is. each or three Pots for

CAUTION TO FAMILIES.
MANY SHOPKEEPERS of apparent respectability,
but destitute alike of honour and of talent, for the
sake of gaining a trifle more profit, basely attempt to im-
pose their pernicious compounds upon the public, as the real
MACASSAR OIL, for the Hair, and KALYDOR, for the
CoMplexion; they copy the bills and labels of the original
articles, substituting eihter a FICTITIOUS SAME, or the word
"GENUINE," in the place of " ROWLAND'S."
To frustrate such imposition, it is necessary on purchasing
either article, to see that the word " ROWLAND'S" is on
the wrapper, as follows—without which none are genuine.
Under the Patronage of Her Majesty "The Queen," the
Royal Family, and the several Courts of Europe,
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.
The only article that produces and restores Hair; prevents
it from falling off or turning grey to the latest period of life ;
changes grey Hair to its original colour—frees it from scurf,
and makes it beautifully SOFT, CURLY, and GLOSSY. In
dressing Hair, it keeps it firm in the curl, uninjured by damp
weather, crowded rooms, the dance, or in the exercise of
riding. To Children it is invaluable, as it lays a foundation
fora BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR.

On purchasing. (beware of Counterfeits ! !) ask for Row-
LAND'S AIACASSAR. OIL, and see that these words are on
the wrapper.

*** To insure the genuine article, see that the words
Rowland's Macassar Oil" are engraved on the back of the
envelope nearly 1500 times, containing 29,028 letters—
WITHOUT THIS NONE ARE GENUINE.
Price 3s. 6d. ; 7s. ; Family Bottles, (equal to four small,)
10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. per Bottle.

ing all pimples, spots, redness, tan, freckles, and other un-
sightly cutaneous defects, in reducing inflammation, and in
rendering the most rough and uneven skin, pleasantly soft,

seate hue, and to the neck, hand, and arm, a delicacy and
irness unrivalled.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

SPAIN

A telegraphic despatch dated May 20th has been received
from Madrid.

The Regent having refused to sign the dismissal of Gene-
rals Linage and Zurbana, the Lopez Ministers tendered their
resignation, which they accepted. General Gomez Becerra,
President of the Senate, immediately charged himself with
the formation of a new Cabinet, in which the Ministry of
Finance would be confided to M. Mendizabal.
The Congress voted yesterday (the 19th) an Address to
the Regent to recommend to him the Amnesty, as well as
thanks to the retiring Ministry."
The Congress declared o❑ the 19th unanimously, with the
exception of three voices, that the Alinisters who had re-
signed had, up to the last moment, merited .its confidence."

He felt confident the act for uniting the Sees would never

office. Without any regard to the difficulties a bishop had
to encounter in the principality, they were about to imp9se
upon him double duties, which. would be found totally' !n-
-compatible with his pastoral functions. 'llls great objection
to the junction of the sees was, that it made communication
between the bishop and his diocese more inconvenient than
it was at present. Another great objection was, that neatly
the whole patronage was exclusively vested in the bishop.
On the whole, he deemed the act to bc a most unconstitu-

The Bishop of LosnoN said that the advantage of having
- Manchester was so great that he hoped nothing
4ce their lordships to forego it, but if this bill ware
.ne bishopric of Manchester would be gone ; for, in
of the clauses of the bill it was now proposed to repeal,
it was enacted, that upon the union of the sees the bishopric
of Manchester should be created.
The Bishop of EZILTICIL supported the bill, and contended
for the necessity of a large addition to the episcopacy of the
kingdom, though he could not admit the necessity of the
whole of them haying the privilege of seats in that
bhouse.
In fact, at the present moment a great many
bishops elong-
ing to an integral portion of the empire were unable to sit in
that house, or else had the privilege only for a single year.
Earl FITZWILLIAII looked upon the existing act as a small
measure of church reform, and, looking forward to a more
effective reformation, he would support the bill upon the
table, believing the existing act an obstruction to some more

oe Knutsford House of Correction, who was dismissed from
his office by the magistrates of Chester, after having given
evidence against tue governor of the prison before the inspec-
tor of prisons in the inquiry instituted under the direction of
Sir James Graham. The right hon. baronet had recom-
mended the dismissal of the governor, but the governor was
retained, and a resolution agreed to that he had not lost the
confidence of the magistrates. He therefore moved for a se-
lect committee to inquire into the conduct and management
of the Knutsford House of Correction, and into the circum-
stances connected with the dismissal of the Rev.
William
Browne, the late chaplain of the said House of
Correction,
and to report on all the circumstances, and on the conduct

Mr. T. Eozwro,r denied, as a magistrate of the county o
Chester, that the governor of the gaol possessed his co
dence, and he regretted the course which bad been pursued
by his brother magistrates. Admitting, however, that they
had committed an error of judgment, misled by feelings of
attachment for an old servant, yet a body of 34 gentlemen
residing in, and well acquainted with, the locality, must be
better judges of all the circumstances than that house could
possibly be. The chaplain attributed his dismissal to politi-
cal motives, which was in effect a direct libel on the ma-
gistrates. Considering his conduit he thought he had been
treated leniently, and be should, therefor oppose the

Sr JAMES GRAHAM said that though not favourable to
erecting the house into a tribunal for judging the conduct of
magistrates, yet he would support the present motion if he
thought it would have the effect of disclosing any concealed
facts. Hs regretted that his but
had not been
adopted by the magistrtes, but hi admittcd that the dis-
missal of the chaplain had been agreed to by a large majority.
He believed that it would be beneficial to the public if the
Secretary of State for the Home Department were to have a
concurrent power with the magistrates in the dismissal of
the officers of prisons, because, ab a responsible minister of
the crown, his exercise of that power would be open to

question within the house.
After some further conversation, Mr. DIINCOMBR with-

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1843.

When we look at the fact that, up to this time, be-
tween fourteen and fifteen thousand (!) petitions against
the education clauses of the proposed factory bill have
been presented to Parliament by the dissenting bodies;
when we consider, too, the promptitude with which
the wishes of those bodies are made known at the pre-
cise moment when their expression is calculated to be
most effective ; what a contrast is presented to us be-
tween all this energy and the organisation which directs
its working, and the total want of energy and organisa-
tion which characterises the movements of the Church-
of-England majority of the people 1 Dissenters, by
by means of their "congregational unions," " Sunday
school unions," " committees," and other similar
bodies, can, in the space of a few days, agitate their
whole mass, and pour in petition upon petition to the
legislature ; whilst Churchmen can only, after repeated
urging, accomplish a few isolated demonstrations, and
those, generally, when the object sought to be achieved
has already passed beyond their reach, or the attack
from which they seek to defend themselves has already
been too successfully accomplished!
Surely, such a woful and suicidal sacrifice of their
real strength—such a voluntary abandonment of the
means at their disposal for the assertion of their legi-
timate claims upon the legislature, and their proper
influence in the direction of the public mind—ought
not to be permitted by Churchmen to continue. As-
sailed as is the fabric of their revered establishment ;
maligned as are its doctrines, by an unscrupulous and
restless faction; surely there ought to be amongst
their defenders a spirit and policy widely different from
this coldness and want of preparation. In the case of
this very question of scriptural education for the work-
ing classes, it is but too evident that we are about to
see the boon which was within our reach snatched
from our expectant lips. Upon every question in
which the interests of religion and the cause of huma-
nity are involved, the voice of the great mass of the
people is heard but as a whisper, whilst sectarianism
can speak trumpet-tongued, and does speak, therefore,
efficaciously. Sunk in a dream of fancied security—
content with a merely nominal supremacy—we submit
to see the foundations of our strength sapped stone by
stone, the landmarks of our privileges removed step by
step ; and we only awake to the necessity of an effort
when the enemy is already master of our position, and
nothing is left us except the opportunity of compound•
Mg for the little which his mercy or moderation has
permitted us to retain in our keeping !
Such blindness and folly, we repeat, ought not to
be 1 We owe it as well to ourselves, to our country,
and to after generations of Englishmen to stand man-
fully in front of our noble institutions, and to battle
for their entireness. To do this, effectually, we must
adopt the means by which alone success can be en-
sured. We must use the same organisation, the same
watchfulness, the same zeal, which are put forth by
the opponents of the institutions which we are called
upon to protect. We must meet petition with peti-
tion, remonstrance with remonstrance, demonstration
with demonstration. We must not only be strong, but
must make our strength known and felt!
This—we say it emphatically, and with sorrow for
the consequences—has not been the course pursued
by Conservatives of late. In adversity they fought,
and fought well, for victory over their opponents ; but
in success, they laid aside the means which had
achieved it for them. Our Conservative associations—
where are they now ? Their voice is silent ! The
faithful press which rallied to the support of our insti-
tutions, menaced by the open assaults of our inveterate
enemies, is no longer the object of anxious care and
support of those whose battles it fought ! The hour
which gave to Conservatism the ascendancy in govern-
ment—the house which prostrated liberalism, and
doomed it to crawl to the achievement of its designs,
where it once trod openly and unchecked to their ac-
complishment—witnessed the abandonment of the very
weapons which had most powerfully conduced to vic-
tory. We laid down our arms and threw off our ar-
mour, when we had won the breach, forgetful that the
same care, the same watchfulness, the same zeal, to
enable us to defend our position in prosperity which
bad gained it for us in adversity.
The enemy with which we have to deal commits no
such errors as this. " Liberalism" is not thus suicidal.
It takes care, in prosperity, as well as in reverse, of the
materials which conduce to success ; and Conservatism,
if it means to maintain its present eminence, in the
state, or in our local community, must adopt a similar
policy. We have rights to protect; we have privileges
to guard ; we hare institutions to defend : and we
must use, to do this effectually, the same weapons by
which they are assailed. We must revive our associa-
tions, strengthen our press, and reiterate our demon-
strations of strength and resolvedness, unless we wish
to see the mean and malignant factions, by which we
are surrounded, and which are recklessly mining the
ground beneath our feet, restored to that position in
which we so lately felt so severely their galling and

humiliating domination. At this bout we require even
more energy, more watchfulnessimore determination,
more unceasing defensive efforts to protect the great
interests and the noble institutions which we revere
and love, from the insidious approaches of our oppo-
nents than when they were in a position to stand be-
fors us, face to face, in more daring defiance

We are really obliged to our contemporary (the
Manchester Guardian) for aiding us in the develops-
ment of a fact which we are at all times most anxious
to place strongly before our readers and the public.
The fact in question is that CHEAP BREAD is sought
for by the gentlemen of the Anti-Corn-lawLeague, as
the means of securing for themselves CHEAP LABOUR.
We stated in our last that the admission that any
manufacturing nation could compete, upon even terms,
with Great Britain, was " a new feature in the Anti-
Corn-law controversy." We were somewhat un,
guardedja por exprosslon certainly, though, in Act, it

gurnents of a party who are " every thing by turns,
and nothing long." If we had said a newly-risen fea-
ture—a hidden plea dug up again—we should have
been more nearly right; for, in fact, though the ope-
ration of cheap bread to create cheapness of production
is no absolute novelty, yet it has been, of late, so sedu-
lously withdrawn from prominence, by the League
agitators and journalists, that its resuscitation by the
Guardian persuaded us that—as we remarked—" a

new feature" had presented itself to our observation.
Putting the newness of the argument out of question,
let us see what the Guardian's wisdom affords us in
corroboration of our own position, that cheap bread is
identical, in the League philosophy, with CHEAP

LABOUR.
The Guardian says that the manufacturing body
" have long been aware that foreign manufacturers
are rapidly acquiring the same advantages of capital
and machinery which they themselves possess ; and
with the further advantage of food at half price, the
foreigners must eventually beat them out of every
market." Well, we do not make cotton goods, or
hardware, of bread, but from raw material and labour.
How will it benefit the manufacturer, therefore, to
have food at the same price as the foreigner? Why,
only inasmuch as it enables him to get his labour at
the same price I " The conclusion," as the Guardian
remarks, " possesses all the certainty of a mathematical
demonstration" !

But this " conclusion," the Guardian says, " an
the arguments upon which it is founded, have been
again and again thrust in the faces of the advocates of
the Corn-laws ;" and, we may add, as repeatedly with-
drawn from the contemplation of the working classes.
Our contemporary says that we will " shrink from
discussing it"—or them. We have no need so to
shrink. We find our contemporary admitting quite
an much as we require to have proved : viz. that
CIIEAP BREAD means CHEAP LABOUR.
We might indeed enter into an examination of the
special pleading by which the Guardian seeks to mys-
tify the meaning of his admission. We might enter,
at his suggestion, into a discussion as to the term
" price of labour," which " is not to be estimated by
the number of pence or shillings that a man receives
in the shape of wages, but by the amount of the neces-
saries of life that those pence or shillings will purchase"
—(what amateur Leaguer has the Guardian permitted
to pen this inelegant and ungrammatical piece of
jesuitry ?) We shall not, however, allow the Guardian
to drag us from the common sense interpretation of
language, into politico-economical subtleties. Our
contemporary's own explanation of the term " price of
labour" is sufficient for us to argue from. The benefit
to the working man from cheap bread is to be nothing 1
If his money wages now will buy him a certain num-
ber of quartern loaves, he is to have no more bread for
his labour when the commodity is cheapened by a re-
peal of the corn-law, for " the price of labour is to he
estimated by the amount of the necessaries of life
which a certain amount of pence or shillings will pur-
chase," or, in other words, the money rate is to be re-
duced in proportion to the price of bread!
It is not unusual for the Guardian to be found, at
the conclusion of an article, cutting from under his
feet the arguments, or repudiating the philosophy, with
which he set out. Thus we find him, at the com-
mencement of the present, arguing that because the
foreign manufacturer had his food at half the price of
the English manufacturer, he could drive us out of
every neutral market. At the conclusion of the same
article we find him enlarging triumphantly upon the
fact that with cheap bread the price of labour was in-
creasing. It will not do here to put us off with any
special pleading about the meaning of the price of
labour. The working classes are getting now increased
wages and an increased quantity of food both ! Hence,
the mere fact of having cheap bread will not enable
the British manufacturer to compete the better with
the foreigner, unless, with that cheap bread, can be
produced, as well, a pressure upon the labour market.
We thank our contemporary for his admissions ; and
love him most when, as in this instance, he speaks out,
however unintentionally.

We have read, with infinite satisfaction, an article
which appears in the Jamaica Standard of April iith,
in which the policy to be pursued by the planting body
is thus laid down :

*4 We have only," observes our contemporary, " to impress
upon our planting friends the necessity of carrying out those
measures of strict economy and improvement in their agri-
cultural and mechanical operations which we have from time
to time brought before their attention, for however strong
may be the inclination of the British government to uphold
the free labour interests of these colonies, still it is not im-
possible that some modification of the foreign duty may be
admitted in the next Brazilian treaty, contingent upon the
pledge of that state to ameliorate the condition of slavery.
Under which circumstances, or rather any other which may
transpire, it is perfectly evident that our planters shonld lose
no opportunity of economising and otherwise protecting
their establishments in every possible manner."

This is the language of manly foresight, worthy of
an honourable man to give, and of sensible men to
listen to. We have always maintained that it was the
duty of our colonial brethren to prepare for such a
crisis as that contemplated by our contemporary; and
maintained at the same time that, by the aid of that
supply of free labourers 40 dagutiously withheld: from
them by the canting enemies of British West Indies,
they would triumphantly overcome the emergency in
which they would for a time be placed. If this boon
had been conceded to long ago, the British colonies
would, ere this, have been enabled to supply us abun-
dantly with their products, at remunerating prices, and
yet at a great reduction upon those which we have
hitherto been paying. And if a temporary discou-
ragement is given to their prosperity by the admission,
into British ports, of Brazilian, or other sugar and
coffee, the emancipated negro population, who, in
the present state of society in those colonies, must suf-
fer along with their white population, may lay their
sufferings to the door of those professed friends of the
African race, whose peculiar notions of philanthropy
are just now exhibited in their clamour for the admix.
:ion, into the British market, of the slave produce of
other nations I
