. HOUSE OF LORDS , Moxdat , Juke 23 . Their lornships met at five o ' clock . The Big ht Hon . W . Nrvrti took the oaths and his seat as ihe Sari of Abergavenny , on fhe demise of his brother , the late earL The Marquis of Xouusrc moved , that the name of the Bishop of Ixradon be struck off the protest entered on the journals of theliouse against the third reading of the Haynooth Bin , as hchad not been present on the occa sion—a proport ion to which the right rev . prelate immediately acceded . The amende d Small Debts Bill was then lead a . second time , and the standing orders having been suspended in its favour , passed through committee .
The Earl of Riros moved the second reading of the Scotch Banking Bill , and briefly explained the nature of the measure , which , in his opinion , would be of great advantage to the general banking operations of the empire , because it -would bring about an assimilation between the systems pursued in different parts of the country . The Earl of Radsoe considered the measure a most unnecessary interference with fhe Scotch system . In this instance the old maxim "let well alone , " might be very fitly applied ; besides , the toll would create a monopoly , for which reason he would move as an amendment that the hill be read again that day six months . After . i few words from Lords ' Kinnaird and Daliiousie , the bill was read a second time . Several other bills were then forwarded a stage , and their lordships adjourned . Tuesday , Jcsb 24 .
A strong opposition was made to the third reading of the Oxford and Rugby Railway , but it was eventually carried by a majority of 132 to 95 . Mr . Hon moved the following resolution— " That the course pursued by Great Britain siuce 1814 , for the suppression of the slave trade , has been attended with large expenditure ofthe public money , and by serious loss of life to the naval forces of this country , and that it has not mitigated the horrors of the middle passage , nor diminished the extent ofthe traffic in slaves . " The hon . gentlemen contended , in accordance with the spirit of bis motion , that all the exertions of this country had been productive of much greater mischiefs to the natives of Africa than they were before exposed to , and that the proper coarse would be to cease all farther interference , and withdraw our cruisers from the coast of that quarter ofthe globe .
Sir G . Cocebcbn thought such a course would be very unwise at the very moment when the first chance presented itself of effectually crushing this odious traffic . Lord Howick agreed in most of the observations of Mr . Hutt , but thought he would act with discretion in not pressing his motion to a division . If they withurew all interference- with the trade , the authorities of Cubawould themselves be compelled in self-defence to check the traffic . They were , in fact , already terrified in Cuba lest too many slaves should be importe J . Still , as the treaty with France had been concluded , he saw no immediate use in pressing the resolution before the bouse . Sir E . Po t . admitted that the efforts of this country had not been hitherto successful in abolishing the slave trade , and that it still existed with much Of its usual horrors . He had no doubt , however , that if this country were to withdraw its cruisers and to relax its efforts , they would have a renewal of all the horrors which enabled
Mr . Wilberfore to rouse the feeling ofthe country to the successful exertion which was made for the extinction of slavery in onr colonies . He was of opinion thatitweuld be most , unwise of us to withdraw from the convention just concluded with France for watching the coast of Africa , more particularly as at the present time America and Portugal were , as well as France , cordially acting with us to attain the great object in which this country bad always felt so deep an interest . After some observations from Sir C . Napier , An Hon . Hembeb moved that the house be counted , and onlv vS members being present , an adjournment necessir ilytooli place . TncRSOAY , June 20 . Lord Stanley moved the nomination of twenty-one peers as a select committee to which the Tenants ( Ireland ) Compensation Bill should be referred . After some discussion the committee was appointed .
Lord Foktxas moved the second reading ofthe English Landlord and Tenant Bill , which was opposed by Lord Beaumont , ' and after some discussion was negatived on a division by a majority of 11 to 7 . The remaining- business was then disposed of , and the house adjourned .
House Of Commons.—Friday, Jcxe 20. After...
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday , Jcxe 20 . After a lengthy discussion on Railway matters , the house went into committee on the Customs Act , and Mr . E . Bguec . moved tat repeal of the duty on tallow . The Chakceuoe of the Exchequer opposed the motion , as the whole disposable surplus revenue at fhe command of the Crbveroment bid been already applied to the reduction of the import duties on various artielea of general «) asumption . After some discussion the motion was withdrawn , the resolutions were agreed to , and the house
resumed . On the motion for going into committee of supply Mr . Williams rose to call the attention of the house to the conduct of Mr . Twyford , the police magistrate , in refusing bail for Mr Meyer , who was recently committed at Bow-street for an assault on his brother-in-law for seducing his only daughter . The lion , member went on to say that the instance to which he had called the attention of the house was by no means a solitary instance of misconduct . Scarcely a week passed but that something occurred to bring the conduct of magistrates in question , and this was mainly attributable to the laxity with which
instances of misbehaviour were dealt with . The hon . member , after some further observations , concluded by moving for a copy of the correspondence between the Secretary of State for the Home Department and Mr . Twyford , tiie police magistrate , in reference to Ms commitment of Mr . Meyer , an inhabitant of St . Marylebone , to Newgate , for an assault , under circumstances of gross provocation , after his refusal to accept bail for nun , although tendered to any amount . Sir J . Guaham repeated his former explanation , and refused to produce the correspondence , and the motion was then negatived without a division .
After some further discussion , the house went into committee pro formu , and immediately afterwards adjourned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Muxnur , Juse 23 . The house met at four o ' clock . 1 H £ IB 1 SU COLLEGES BILL . In moving that the Speaker leave the chair , in order that the house might resolve itself into a committee on the Colleges ( Ireland ) Bin , Sir James Gbaham availed himself of the opportunity to answer the questions which had been put to him on the subject of this bilL Mr . Vernon Smith bad asked for whose benefit this bill was intended . Considering the spread of useful education among the humbler classes of the people of Ireland , as evinced by the facts that 900 , 000 children were sow obtaining an excellent education in the public and private schools of that country , and considering also the ample provision made for the- education of
the children of the higher eksses in the CnlversH y of Dublin , he had no hesitation in replying that these new colleges were intended for the benefit of the large class of children belonging to tire middle classes . The education given at them would be such as wouldbe eminently useful to the manufacturing , commercial , and trading classes in Ireland , and also to the sons of the gentry in the different comities of that country . Lord J . Russell had also asked him a question as to the appropriation ofthe money to be voted to these colleges . With regard to the capital sum of £ 30 , 000 for their erection , be did not expect that Lord J . Russell wished him to eater into any details ; but , with regard to the appropriation of £ 7000 a year to each of these colleges , be would tell die noble lord that in each of them he proposed to place a president and vice-president
and to make £ 790 a year- the nwwimmit of salary for the first , and £ iQ 9 a-year for the latter . He calculated upon placing twelve or fourteen professors in each of these colleges . The salaries of each would not be less than £ 200 , or more than £ 399 a-year . The librarian would hare a salary of £ 390 a-year , the bursar of £ 100 -a-year ; and the college servants would divide among them £ 390 a-year . Ia tils manner £ 5 , 900 a-year would be expended * . On : of ihe surplus o £ i » , 000 a-year which would then remain , thelibrarr , astronomical and scientific apparatus , and at first a large expenditure for indispensable purposes must be provided . By the charter of incorporation to be granted to these colleges , Government
intended to provide for the annual examination of their students . To the first twenty among the students ofthe first year it was proposed to give exhibitions varying from £ 25 to £ 20 a-year each . The same regulation « ould apply to the students of the second year ; and to the first twenty among the students of the third year , exhibitions of £ 30 a-year each would be awarded . In this wav from £ 1 , 000 to £ 1 , 500 a-year would be expended in exhibitions . This brought him to the consideration of another question of great imparlance , wbichhadbten put to him by Mr . Shell . Consistently with the principles of the present MIL Ministers could not propose the administering of any religious test either to the students or
to uieprofosorsin these newcolleges . To that principle they intended steadily to adhere . But when they consented to the exclusion of all religious tests , Ministers thought that securities ought to be taken that the professors did ii . - . t in their lectures attempt to sap and undermine the faith of the students . He knew of no security that would beeScientforsuchfl purpose except the vesting of ihe appointment of the professors Inthe Crown , whose Ministers would be responsible in Parliament for eith appointment . . In the colleges of England
and Scotland , wherever the State endowed , the Crownhad the appointment to tie professorship .

House Of Commons.—Friday, Jcxe 20. After...
liament to consider in what way the future professors should be appointed . He thought that this measure would be incomplete if these colleges were not hereafter incorporated into one university . Such an incorporation was a necessary supplement to it . Leaving the arrangement of an university under the controul of Parliament , he thought , that after an university was founded , it ought to be left to the governing body of it , after examination or otherwise , to recommend to the Crown the professors to be appointed , leaving a veto upon them in the Crown . In the amendments which he had proposed and printed for the purpose of giving a more effectual moral controul over the students , considerable alterations had been made of the original draught of the bill , for the purpose of meeting the wishes of the house . 'Where students resided with their parents or guardians , no further controul could be provided . But if they did not reside with j their parents or guardians , then , as those parties would be at a distance , it was necessary that some precautions
should be taken . An annual license would therefore be required for all persons who took boarders . With respect to the foundation of halls , every encouragement would be given to it . A loan of money would be made by the Board of Works in aid of their erection . He had also been asked who were to be the visitors of those halls . On that point he could not pledge either the present ur the future Government i considering how much the success of the present scheme depended upon it ; but it appeared to him that the heads of the religious establishments in those quarters ought to have the power of visiting them . He had now answered all the questions which had been put to him by Mr . Sheil except one ; and that wa =, " "Were the Government prepared to appoint a Roman Catholic chaplain , to be paid by the State , to officiate in these halls V Having given their best consideration to this question , Ministers were of opinion that any such arrangement would be adverse to the principle of the bill , and they could not consent to make any concession upon that point .
Lord Mahon then rose to more his amendment , that " it is the opinion of this house that in the establishment of colleges in Ireland provision should be made for the religious instruction of the pupils by means of lecture fees , till such time as private benefactions for that object may have taken effect . " That amendment asserted a principle , without which no system of education could be valuable—namely , the necessity of combining religious with secular instruction . He was justified in bringing it forward , not only by the 15 th clause of the bill , but also by the amendment on it contained in clause C . What security could be given that the benefactions contemplated in those clauses would be made at all , or would be made within any definite period of time ? This species of education , therefore , was made contingent on private charity
But even if it were certain that this contingency would be at once supplied , he should object to establishing such a precedent as was contemplated in this bill . It took away aH parental care from the pupils , aud did not substitute for it any academic rule . He showed that the importance of joining a religious with a state education had been inculcated as a principle by Pascal and Fenelon , as well as by Hooker and Wesley ; and contended that there was nothing in the condition of Irehmd to forbid the application of that principle to that country . In order to carry it eut , he proposed that there should be in each of these new colleges professors of theology—one for the students of the Established Church , another for those of the Roman Catholic religion ; and in the province of Ulster a professor for the Presbyterian pupils . These professors should not he named by any act of the Crown . The professor for the Established Church should he
appointed by the bishops of that Church ; the professor for the Roman Catholic students by the Roman Catholic bishops ; and the Presbyterian professor by the Synod of Bister . The freest choice should be permitted to the students as to which of these professors they would attend ; but the college should demand from them a certificate of their attendance on the lectures of one of these professors as a necessary conditionto their taking of a degree , or even to their continuance in the institution . A power of giving special exemption from such instruction should be lodged in the board of visitors , and that exemption should be granted to every class of separatists who asked for it . The noble lord then entered into the minor details of his scheme , of which the most material was that he would leave the amount of the lecture fees under these theological professors to be fixed by the board of visitors of each college .
Mr . Wtse seconded the amendment ; but in doing so expressed the insuperable objections which hc entertained against placing theological professors in these colleges . He then proceeded at some length to defend himself from a charge preferred against him in Conciliation-hall by Mr . J . O'Conuell , of being an auythingatiau , aud not & Roman Catholic . Mr . John O'Conuell would not sar anything on this bill at present , as he hoped that Sir J . Graham would allow the house twenty-four hours to consider the propriety of the amendments which he had just proposed . Adverting to the observations of Mr . Wyse , he said that he bad not charged that hon . member with not being a
Roman Catholic—he had only said that he was in a state very closely allied to not being a Roman Catholic . If Mr . Wyse differed from the Roman Catholic Bishops on this subject , bis sole appeal was to Rome - , and yet he brought bis differences from bis Bishops prominently forward in the House of Commons , and thus placed himself In practical rebellion to his religious pastors . Mr . Wyse had talked of his ( Mr . J . O'Connell ' s ) intolerance ; but the measure which Mr . Wyse supported was a measure of gross intolerance . It outraged the conscience of every Roman Catholic in Ireland , and so far from dL-nuushing the cry of Repeal , would create an irritation and opposition more formidable than any which the British Government had experienced for tiie last twenty years .
Sir J . Gkabak observed , that this was neither the time nor the place to discuss the extent of the authority which a conscientious Roman Catholic owed to his Bishop . It must hare been painful to the house to hear that part of Mr . J . O'Connell's speech in which he declared that Mr . Wyse , in his supreme legislative capacity as a member of that house , was not at liberty to exercise his judgment independently when it was opposed to that of his Bishops . He expressed only what was due to Mr . Wyse when he declared , that be had never been guilty of any deception towards his constituents . His orthodoxy as a Roman Catholic must be known to them , as he had lived nearly all his life among them , and he had invariably declared that he was friendly to British connection . He should despair of the future condition of Ireland if he could
believe that Mr . Wyse had forfeited the respect of his constituents by the plain avowal of his sentiments . He then proceeded to complain that Lord Mahon , in bringing forward this amendment , had violated the spirit , while hc had adhered to the letter , of the rules of the House of Commons . It was not competent for any member to move that proposition as an instruction to a committee , which , without an instruction , it was not competent for a committee itself to make . The motion of Lord Mahon was in spirit an instruction to the committee on this bill ; and the departure ofthe noble lord from the usual course of proposing it nominally as such had placed the house at present in a position of some difficulty . Lord Mahon had sketched out a faint outline of a scheme which he deemed important , but of which he ( Sir J . Graham )
knew nothing till he came down to the house . If Lord Mahon had moved his scheme , as he ought to have done , in distinct clauses , he ( Sir James Graham ) should have known his plan , and could have deliberated upon it . At present , on the best judgment which he could form on the scope and tendency of it , he could not give it his support . After pointing out the difference which existed between the mover and seconder of this amendment on the subject of theological professorships , he ashed Lord Mahon whether the attendance at their lectures was to be voluntary or compulsory . Kit were to be voluntary , then Lord Mahon ' s amendment was superfluous ; if it were to be compulsory , it was at variance with the principle of the bill itself . He
then entered into a detailed criticism of Lord Mahon ' s plan , and a lengthened defence of his own ; and after an elaborate defence of the national system of education , of which the success was now almost incredible , declared that in the present amended shape of the bill every security which the circumstances of Ireland permitted was afforded for providing religious education out of the walls of these colleges to those students whose parents and guardians were at too great a distance to exercise any control over them . He considered it to be highly inexpedient to adopt the resolution of Lord Mahon—which , though it was clear in some points , left many which were far more important in great ambiguity—which was at variance with the principle of the Government Bill—aad which , if carried , must inevitably lead to its defect .
Lord Mahon defended himself from the charge of having violated the rules of the house in bring forward his amendmentin its present shape , by referring to the amendment which General Gascoigae had moved upon going into commmittee on the Reform Bill . After a few words from Lord Clive , who supported the amendment of Lord Mahon , Mr . M . Milses declared his intention of opposing the amendment of his noble friend , and of supporting the bill proposed by her Majesty ' s Government . He showed that the Government of France—a Roman Catholic countrycould not intrust the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy with the duty of educating its subjects ; and declared that it was painful to him to find that the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy of Ireland , in cow coining forward to oppose this liberal grant for education coming from a liberal Government , were doing all in their power to justify the French Government in the position which it had taken with respect to the Pioman Catholic clergy of that country .
Mr . B . Escort defended this hill as a bill for the better advancement of learning among all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects in Ireland . He denied that it was a gigantic scheme of godless education . He believed it to be a religious bill . He called upon Mr . O'Connell to rise superior to his prejudices , and to join the Government in supporting this measure . Why should he not teach the people of Ireland to refrain from agitating further a question of which the success was hopeless , and why should he not aid the Government to carry out a bill which was absolutely necessary for the future improvement of his country ? His career must in tho course of nature be drawing to its close ; and he ( Mr . B . Escort ) called upon him ( Mr . O'Connell ) to crown all the victories which he had gained over former Administrations , by gaining a vie . tory over himself .
Mr . CoLCE-Hous observed , that though he could not vote for the amendment of Lord Mahon , and must support the measure as proposed by her Majesty ' s Government , yet he should consider himself as pronouncing a most ludicrous satire upon the bill , if he were to call it as Mr . B . Escott had called it , a religious bill . Even the j Government had not vindicated it as a perfect plan : aud
House Of Commons.—Friday, Jcxe 20. After...
as no improvement on it had been proposed , he had no other option but to accept it . The best course was to adhere to the plan of Ministers , and to give to the people of Ireland the best secular education which could be provided for them . Sir R . Psel reminded the house that the question before it was whether they should adopt or reject the system proposed by Lord Mahon . It was quite true that he did not vindicate the Government measure as a perfect plan . Hc admitted that it would have been a better measure had it had religion for its basis ; but that was rendered impracticable by the peculiar circumstances of Ireland . Looking , however , at the necessity for extending education there , and thinking it better to have a mixed than an exclusive system of education in that
country , Government had introduced its present plan , not as the best that could be devised , but as that which was the most practicable . He then contrasted the merits of the Government plan with those of that proposed by lord Mahon , and showed that the former paid more homage to the principle of religion than the latter , which discouraged benefactions for the endowment of theological professorships by proposing to support them by enforcing a fixed fee from every pupil who attended their lectures . At the cost of the State the Government supplied buildings for these new colleges , salaries for the professors , pi curiums for the more distinguished students ; and accompanied its proposal with an appeal to the religious of all classes to take upon themselves the duty of providing for the endowment of those professorships by
which religion was to be taught . The Government had been accused of not consulting ecclesiastical authorities on this bill . He thought that it had acted wisely in so doing ; for if he might judge from the letter of Archbishop M'Hale to himself , and from the letter of a Presbyterian minister to Sir J . Graham , it would have been impossible either to have complied with their advice , or to have treated their opinions with respect . In alluding to the memorial of the Roman Catholic Bishops , in which they declared that the Roman Catholic pupils could not attend the lectures on anatomy of a Protestant professor without exposing their faiths or morals to imminent danger , he asked whether any intelligent . Roman Catholic would contend that the faith of any Roman Catholic surgeen had been injured by attending the lectures of John Hunter , or would be by those of Sir P . Crampton ?
Mr 6 'CoifffELL objected that the latter gentlemaniad uttered a gross calumny against the Roman Catholic religion in accusing the head of the church of having persecuted a celebrated anatomist for an important discovery ; but Sir Robert Peel observed , that it was passible that a Protestant philosopher , in speaking of Galileo , might bear hard on the Pope ; and argued that , if that Mr O'Connell had stated were true , it was a strong argument in favour of mixed education . He thought that the ecclesiastical denunciations which had been directed against this hill would be of no weight . He thought that
they would create a reaction productive of a spirit more consistent with the Christian religion . That spirit would lead men to receive secular instruction from persons of every religious creed , provided they had security that no attempt would be made to undermine their religious faith . He did not despair that the Roman Catholic prelacy of Ireland , when they felt assured that every opportunity would be afforded them for teaching the tenets of their Church to the students of these colleges without their walls , would yet hail this bill as an inestimable boon , well calculated to lay the foundation of a kinder and better union among that youth which must form the future manhood of their country .
Mr . O'Connell repeated the statement which hc had made respecting Sir P . Crampton , to whose character and genius he paid a just tribute of applause ; aud he then proceeded , by way of episode , to vindicate fhe Papal Government from the charge of having treated Galileo with extreme severity . On this point he said : — " The right hon . baronet introduced an allusion to Galileo in his speech ( hear ) , and the general idea with respect to this philosopher is , that he was imprisoned for a long time for having maintained and taught the Copernican system of astronomy . Now , Galileo was confined for three days Only in the Inquisition . So far , likewise , was lie from having been cast into gaol for promulgating the Copernican doctrines of the heavens , that the Pope , or rather the ruling ecclesiastical authority at Rome , was the
person who enabled Copernicus to publish his discoveries . Galileo was imprisoned for saying and teaching that the fact of the sun , the moon , and the planets having a circular motion could be proved by the Scriptures . Hc was admonished upon this , aud was told that the Scriptures were not to be referred to for such a purpose ; and he was enjoined not to promulgate such doctrines . He broke through this prohibition , aad he was sent to prison , as I have stated , for three days , during which he stamped with his foot , and exclaimed , ' Still it moves ' . '" Believing that Ministers intended to pursue a cor icilitatory course towards Ireland , hc regretted that they were determined to adhere to this bill in its present shape . He asked Mr . B . Escott what other measure relative to Ireland there was for him to support . The state of Ireland
was at the present moment frightful , aud could admit of no delay . Its population , according to the report of the Land Commission , was badly clad , badly fed , badly housed , half-starved , That was Us condition forty-five years after the passing of the Union . Assassination for agrarian oppression was increasing , and was proceeding through the county of Fermanagh into the north . And yet Ministers were talking of this measure as ' a boon to Ireland ! He recommended them to feed the people of Ireland before they undertook the duty of educating them . The last time he was in the house he asked Ministers what they were going to do . for Ireland . He repeated the question now . He asked Mr . B . Escott what he ( Mr . O'Connell ) could do for Ireland , or what he could assist Ministers to do for his unfortunate
country . The bill which had been introduced in the House of Lords would be of no avail in relieving its destitution , and he therefore called upon the country gentlemen of England to insist that the Irish landlords should do justice to their miserable victims—the Irish tenantry . Reverting to the bill before the house , he insisted that it could not have been productive of any harm if Ministers had consulted the Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland respecting its provisions . The people of England , he knew , would not give their support to such a gigantic scheme of godless education , and before it could obtain the support of the people of Ireland it must be made a religious measure . The Presbyterian religion for the Presbyterian—the Roman Catholic religion for the Roman Catholic—the Protestant religion for the Protestant—fair play and justice to ali—that was all he wanted . If Ministers failed in their . present scheme , they would make themselves the ridicule of the world ; if they failed in attempting to give a religious education to the people
of Ireland , they would at least fail in a majestic undertaking . Ministers ought to have consulted the Roman Catholic bishops , and seen what precautions would satisfy them . They had denounced it as dangerous to faith and to morals ; aud every sincere Roman Catholic was bound to take their opinion upon such a point . After denouncing the agitation against the Maynooth Bill as a senseless and atrocious cry , which had vanished without leaving a trace behind it , like the snow of last winter—and after expressing his gratitude to Ministers for that bill , which had , hc said , been proposed and passed by them in the best spirit , he expressed himself anxious for the success of the present measure , but declared that it never could succeed without the approbation ofthe Roman Catholic bishops . He felt bound to vote for the amendment of Lord Mahon , as it contained sentiments In which he cordially coincided . He hoped that if it failed , the committee on the bill would not be pressed that night , as events of great importance might come to their knowledge within a few hours .
Sir II . H . Inglis said , that knowing the purpose for which the refutation , such as it was , ofthe statement of the persecution of Galileo was made , and observing the tone of triumph in which it was announced , as if it were conclusive as to the toleration of the Church of Rome , he hoped he might be allowed to inform the house that the hon . and learned member ( Mr . O'Connell ) was totally in error . He had begun by stating , that it was the Pope who condemned fitolileo ( the sovereign reigning at that time , he said ) tha" nabled Copernicus to publish his ohserrations . Iu this he must have trusted very much to the lack of memory , not to say of knowledge , of other hon . members , for Copernicus died in 1543 , and Pope Paul V .-, who reigned in the time of Galileo , did not reach the Papal chair till 1005 . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Moreover ,
Galileo was not sentenced for resting his doctrine on words of Scripture which did not sustain it , but for holding a doctrine which was said to be directly contrary to Scripture and to the church . ( Hear , hear . ) It was not worth while to quarrel with the hon . and learned member as to whether Galileo was three years , or three months , or three days , in the prison ; three days would dispose of his argument , and would be quite sufficient to satisfy any individual . ( A laugh . ) Galileo was in prison in 1615 , he believed ; and certainly he was there in 1616 . ( Hear , hear . ) But the real point of the argument was the spirit and temper of the church which , as he ( Sir R . Ingh ' s ) believed , persecuted Galileo , aad which the hon . and learned member contended did not persecute any man of science , for the topic was introduced in reference
to the encouragement or discouragemc-ni of science . Now , did not the hon . and learned member know that when two of the most learned mathematicians of the early part of the last century published Newton ' s Principia , they were obliged to state in the way of apology that they could not maintain the doctrine of Newton ' s Principia except by maintaining tht doctrine of the motion ofthe globe . ( Hear , hear . ) It was a deference they felt , it necessary to pay to the authority of that great encourager of science —( a laugh ) , and a respect rendered to the decrees which had condemned Galileo . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . and learned member began by insisting that all others were wrong , and he would set them right ; but , except in a single half-sentence at his conclusion , he had not touched the veal question before the house . ( Hear ,
hear . ) ' Mr . O'Connzli explained , that it was not a Pope who was concerned in the publication of the works of Copernicus ; he would next day give the hon . baronet the name of the cardinal , for he was only a cardinal then . Mr . S . Cbawfobd said , he would always be ready to aid his countrymen in obtaining a redress of their grievances , but he must protest against the doctrine he had heard that night . If hou . members were to be called to account by any ecclesiastical body , there was an end of their independence . Was not every hon . member there for his Protestant and Catholic constituents alike ? He ( Mr . S . Crawford ) claimed the right of independent aetion , free from the d » mination of any ecclesiastical authority , Catholic or Protestant . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . aud learnedmember'had spoken , too , of the " senseless cry against the Maynooth bill . " He iMr . S . Crawford ) belonged to a section of that house whq had opposed it

from motives as honourable as those of . any gentleman in the house , feeling bound by the voluntary principle to do so ; arid the Catholics of Ireland ought to have adhered to that principle , and not have been parties to taking money out of the pockets ofthe people of England for the promotion of a religion they disapproved . ( Hear . ) Sir A . B . Bbooee , amidst much noise , protested against what had been said of the state of Fermanagh . There had uot been a murder committed there for many years . Lord Claude Hakimon observed , that Mr . O'ConneU had not on this occasion been equal to himself , and
attributed the fact to his consciousness that he was doing the bidding of others , whose orders he did not approve . He was certain that Mr , O'Connell would not have men . tioncd the distressed condition of the population of Ireland , if hc had recollected that from that ill-fed , ill-clothed population , the Roman Catholic clergy derived a larger revenue than that which was paid to any other clergy iu the world , and ibat he himself received an income larger than that which was paid to any other servant of the public . He concluded by stating that he felt himself bound to support the proposition of her Majesty ' s Government .
Mr . Shaw briefly explained the reasons why he , too , must vote against the amendment of Lord Mahon , and in favour of the motion of her Majesty ' s Ministers . Mr . Hindlev , in reply to Mr . O'Connell ' s observations on the senselessness of the clamour raised against the bill for the endowment of Maynooth , read a quotation from a speech of Mr . O'Connell , for the purpose of showing that he had voted against that grant on the ground that he was a supporter of the voluntary principle . The petitions which he had presented from 1 , 500 different public bodies were all founded on that principle . He , therefore , wished to know whether Mr . O'Connell still professed to be a supporter of the voluntary principle 1 Mr . O'Connell answered in the affirmative , but said that fifty of the petitions which Mr . Hindley had presented contained the most abominable calumnies against the Roman Catholic religion . The house theu divided , when there
appeared—For the amendment 49 Againstit ... ... ... ... 189 Majority against it —140 Mr . Wise then postponed his amendment till the report of the committee was brought up , Mr . O'Connell said , that hc should have no objection to have the biU committed pro forma , and to have the amendments inserted in it which Sir J , Graham had proposed that evening , provided he wouldpostpene the bringing up of the report till Monday next . To this suggestion Sir J . Graham , upon the recommendation of Lord J . Russell , agreed , and the bill was accordingly committed . On the motion of Lord Asliley ,, the Lunatic Asylum and Paupers Lunatic Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday next . On Lord Lincoln ' s motion that tho house resolve itself into a committee on the Commons Enclosure ( allow , anccs , isc . ) Bill , ihe house was counted out .
Tuesday , June 24 . Their Lordships met at five o ' clock . After a conversation as to the duty of Noble Lords to attend committees , brought on by the absence of Lord Gardner from the Glasgow Bridge Committee , The Earl of Abehdeen , in answer to a question from the Marquis Of Breadalbane , defended the conduct of the Government with regard to the case of Dr . Kalley , of Madeira , and declared that the treatment which that gentleman and his converts had met with at the hands of the Portuguese Government was quite sanctioned by the laws ofPortugal . Lord Stanley then moved the second reading of the Irish Tenants'Compensation Bill .
The Marquis of Londonderry said , that he had in his hand a protest signed by thirty-six Peers , complaining of the measure , as destructive ofthe rights of property . In his opinion , the bill contained some most objectionable clauses , particularly that providing for the Commissioner at Dublin and his assistants , who were to exercise inquisitorial powers Over landlords , and could not fail to excite their utmost jealousy . It would be much better to leave Ireland to herself than to force measures such as this against the lauded interest , The noble lord concluded by reading the protest , and expressing his most decided hostility to the bill . Lord Stanley did not think that tho objections urged against the bill were strong enough to induce him to withdraw it ; the best plan would be to refer it to a select committee without further discussion on the present occasion .
The Earl of Wicelow , in spite of the protest signed by the thirty-six Peers , was convinced that the principle of the bill was just and sound , and considered that many of its suggestions were great improvements on those iu the Earl of Devon ' s report . It might be said , indeed , that it involved a violation of the rights of property , and he was ready to admit it did , and that it would not be tolerated in England , but the peculiar state of Ireland rendered such a violatiou indispensably necessary . If the compulsory clauses were struck out , the great object of the measure would be defeated .
The Marquis of Clanricabde thought the speech of Lord Wicklow not calculated to induce many of their lordships to support the bill , which involved an entirely novel principle—that of the violation of all the rights of property . The people of Ireland , he believed , were unanimous against the measure . What was there in tho state of Ireland to require , any more than England , a violation of vested rights ? The proper course of legislation was to assimilate , as far as possible , the laws of the two countries j and , if the union were 'to be preserved , that policy must be steadily pursued .
Earl Foutescue said he should not do justice to the opinion he had long entertained of the defective state of the relations between landlord and tenant iu Ireland , if he did not give his cordial support to the bill . While he admitted that considerable improvements were already in progress , he thought that the measure was necessary to encourage tenants in carrying them out . He certainly considered the compulsory clauses as most essential , and could uot support the bill if they were excluded . The Duke of Richmond would support the bill , because of the compensation it afforded to tenants . He only regretted that it could not be extended toEugland .
Lord Monteagle thought there were insuperable obstacles against going into committee on the bill . So far was he from thinking the compulsory clauses essential , that he considered them fatal to the success ofthe measure . This compulsory principle would go far to neutralize all the improvements now going on in Ireland ( which the noble lord here proceeded to specify ); nor would hc ever give his consent to the bill till the Government , acting on the suggestion of tho Duke of Richmond , applied its principle to the three kingdoms alike . The Earl of Devon , without wishing to mistrust every Irish landlord , thought it clear that throughout a great
part of Ireland there was no co-operation between landlord and tenant with regard to improvements . The Commission over which he had presided had been accused atone time of favouring the landlords , and at another the tenants , but It could not be denied that it had collected a vast amount of unimpeachable testimony , upon which the present bill was founded , and to that mass of evidence hc begged to refer their lordships . The uoble lord then proceeded to defend the compulsory clauses , and urged the house to accede to the avowed principle of the bill at once , and to leave its machinery to be settled in the select committee .
After a few word * from Lords Carew , Essex , and Salisbury , LordRoDEu said , he thought his tenantry would rather look for justice to him than to any government officer , and he should vote against the measure , because it set up such an officer between landlords and their tenants . The Marquis ofNoRHANBY observed , that the Earl of Devon seemed doubtful whether this were the best measure on the subject that could be proposed ; if so , it should be a question with the Government whether the bill might not be postponed , and brought forward in a better form next session . Lord Campbell objected to the till , as interfering with the rights of property .
Lord Stanley could perfectly understand why the bill should excite such repugnance in the minds of landlords like the Marquis of Londonderry and Earl Roden , but they were the exception and not the rule in Ireland , and that was the reason why the principle , which was fit for Ireland , should uot be extended , as had been suggested , to England and Scotlaud , where the relations of landlord and tenant were on a totally different footing . The noble lord then proceeded to enter at length into the details of the bill and the objections made against it , and concluded by declaring that the Government would incur a serious responsibility if it abandoned a measure founded on tho recommendation of the best men of every political and relig ious creed . After a few words from Lords Essex and Roden ,
The Marquis of Landsdowne said , that while he enter , tained a strong objection to the bill , as containing the new principle of compulsion , he felt for the position of the Government , which had excited hopes in Ireland destined to be disappointed . He admired the candour . with which Lord Stanley had declared his intention of giving up the compulsory clauses rather than abandon the bill . Lord Stanley denied that he had made such a statement ; what hc had said was that he would not pledge those of their Lordships who might vote for the second reading to adopt the clauses in question , as they might be better discussed iu committee , it being understood that the Government would reserve to itself the right of then considering how they would proceed . The Marquis of Lansdowne said , this was an entirely new statement , which the House heard for the first time . As for the bill itself , it contained clauses liable to serious objection , but he agreed in thinking they would be best discussed in a select committee .
After a few more words the House divided , when the numbers
were—For the second reading •„ , 48 Againstit „ st Majority —14 The bill was then read a second time , and their Lordships adjourned . Wednesday , Svsb 25 . Mr . Cobden moved for the appointment of a commission of inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining whether , in all future railway bills , it would not bo advisable to establish one uniform gauge , and whether it would not be practicable to take measures to bring the railways alread y constructed or In progress ofconstruction into uniformity of gauge , Sir G . Clerk , on the part of the Board of Trade , at once acceded to the motion , which was unanimously agreed to
House Of Commons.—Friday, Jcxe 20. After...
The Solicitob-Genebal gave notice that he should move to-morrow that in the case of "Howard « , Gossct , " the defendant should be directed to sue out a writ of
error . On the motion of Lord Ashle y the Lunatics' Asylum , and the Pauper Lunatics Bill , went through a committee pro / oma iu order to enable his lordship to insert several amendments in it . The report was received forthwith , and the . bill was ordered to be printed . On the motion of Mr . Gbeene , the report on the Statute Labour ( Scotland ) Bill was brought up . The biU was afterwards recommitted , and after several amendments were made in it , the report was ordered to he received to-morrow . On the motion of Mr . Liddell that the Dog-stealing BiU be committed , Mr . D . Dun das opposed the measure on the ground that it was unnecessary , and if necessary , too severe . It was monstrous to give two justices power to punish a second conviction for dog-stealing with transportation for seven years , especially whea that conviction was made without the intervention of a jury .
After a few words to the same effect from Mr . Henley > , * Sir J . Graham considered that the penalty of transportation for seven years for a second conviction for dogstealing was too severe , and therefore recommended Mr . Liddell not to persevere in the clause which imposed it . He pointed out the anomalies in the existing law as sufficient reasons for amending it . An indictment for stealing a dog worth £ 25 would fail , unless a count were added for stealing its collar , which might not be worth more than 7 s , Cd . A man was now undergoing transportation for stealing such a dog , but he had been indicted for stealing its collar , and had been convicted of that offence , aud no other .
Mr . Liddell was prepared to take the friendly advice of Sir J . Graham . He did not consider the clause to which objection had been raised to be necessary to the success of his bill , and he was , therefore , prepared to abandon it . He then explained his reasons for proposing it . Mr . B . Escott concurred in the observations of Mr . Dundas , and was prepared to divide with him , if he should press his objection to this bill to a division . He trusted that at any rate Mr . Dundas would take the sense of the bouse on this bill upon its third reading . The house then went into committee . 'Several amendments were made in the bill . The house then resumed , and the report was ordered to be brought up on Wednesday next . On the motion of Mr . Mackinnon , the Smoke Prohibition Bill was committed . Several amendments were made , and considerable discussion took place upon its clauses in committee .
Tho house resumed , and the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next . Lord John Mannebs postponed the second reading of the Pious and Charitable Purposes BUI till Wednesday , the 16 th of July . The Arrestment of Wages ( Scotland ) Bill , the Merchant Seamen Bill , the Scientific and Literary Societies Bill , and the Seal-office Abolition BiU went through committee . Sir H . Pottingcr's Annuity Bill was read a third time and passed , The Solicitob-Genebal brought In a bill to amend the law against advertising foreign and other illegal lotteries , aud to discontinue certain actions commenced under the existing act . The house adjourned at twelve o ' clock . Thursday , June 26 . In the House of Commons , on the order of the day for taking into consideration the report of the committee in the case of " Howard v . Cosset , "
The Solicitob-Genebal moved that a writ of error be brought upon the judgment of the Court of Queen ' s Bench , pronounced in the above-mentioned case . This brought on a discussion on " the privileges of the house , " which occupied tho worthy legislators till two o ' clock in the morning ( Friday ) . We think it unnecessary to give any of the wordy warfare , as the people , being denied the right of electing the house , can care not one straw for itspriuitejes . Finally , the motion of the Solicitor-General , that the house should sanction the writ of error , was carried by a majority of 82 to 48 . The house soon after adjourned .
Election of a Member or Parliament to Rt « PUESENT THE COUNIT OF EoiNBUnGU . —EmNBUBOH , Wednesday . —Sir John Hope , of Pinkie , Bart ., has this day been elected Member of Parliament to represent the county of Edinburgh , without opposition , instead of William R . Ramsay , Esq ., of Barnton , who lately accepted the Chiltcrn Hundreds . Poruxtfios ov Russia . — According to the last census of the population of Russia , it consists of 53 , 300 , 000 . Of thisnumber there are 42 , 000 , 000 of serfs , 15 , 000 , 000 of . whom are the property of the Grown , and 27 , 000 , 000 belong to private persons . Thus there are in Russia only 11 . 500 , 000 subjects who enjoy civil rights .
Extraordinary . Importation or Castle . —Four hundred and thirty-three head of neat cattle have been landed at this port since Friday last—viz ., 92 by the Hanseatic steamer Hamburgh ; 18 by the Transit ; U by the Queen of Scotland ; 43 by the Leeds , all from Hamburgh ; and 46 by the Emerald Isle , from Rotterdam , besides a few calves and one fat sheep . From Scotland the . numbers have been 51 , including 10 Orkney heifers , by the Martello , and 18 by the Glenalbyn , on Wednesday , from Leith . — Hull Packet . A Skeleton Found in Scaleby Moss . — A short time ago , a man , named George Hogg , was engaged in " casting" peats in Scaleby Moss , when he found , about eight or nine feet below the surface , the remains of a human body , firmly embedded in the lowest stratum of black jeat . They were wrapped in what appeared to have been the skin of a deer , which was formed like a garment , and had evidently been worn , as the hair was rubbed off it in several
places . It was composed of different pieces , united by seams , which had been executed with considerable neatness , and had been repaired in some places , though in a manner inferior to the original workmanship . The whole was bound together by thongs -of strong tanned leather . As the person who discovered the remains supposed them to be those of some animal , unfortunately but little care was taken to preserve them . From the size and appearance of the bones , the writer infers that they must have been those of an adult , of a slender form , and low stature ; if a conjecture may be hazarded , lie thinks it likely that the skeleton is that of a female . From the bones being buried so deep in the ground , and their being wrapped in a skin , which in all probability was the clothing of the age in which the deceased lived , we are forcibly brought to the conclusion that the remains were those of an Ancient Briton , and that their preservation through so many centuries was effected by the well-known preservative properties of peat-moss . —Carlisle Patriot .
The Pkisckss's Theatrk.—The Manager Of T...
The Pkisckss ' s Theatrk . —The manager of this , "the prettiest theatre In London , " deserves well of the English public for introducing to them Miss Cushman , the American actress . She is by far the best female performer on the stage . Devoid of rant-possessing little of mere staffe-trJekery—iviHi a face and voice calculated to tell against her rather than in her favour , she has the rare art of delineating passion and feeling in such a truthful manner that the audience are irresistibly carried awav with her efforts , and hail her with enthusiastic demonstrations of applause . Those who have seen her Mrs . Sailer will never forget it : nor will the remembrance of her Meg Merrilies be speedily effaced from the mind . It was , wc arc bold to say , the only impersonation of Scott's Meg ever witnessed , There was the figure ; the features ; the powerful and almost masculine mind , nith its fitful aberrations , but bent with absorbing interest on the fortunes of the EUengowan family—indeed it was Meg Merrilies herself : her that held the Gipsy tribe in awe : that
frightened the learned lore out of the head of faithful Domine Sampson ; that baffled the lawyer-cunning of Gilbert Glossin ; that enlisted , by a loolc , the power of the honest country bruiser , Dandle Dinmont ; and that cowed , Dirk Hatterick , in spite of all Ids Dutch devilism . Mr . Compton , as Domine Sampson , with his atomisms to prevent the fancied conjurations of Meg from affecting him , was inimitable . Compton is one ofthe best come " - dians we have on the boards . His humour is not broad and intrusive , but quiet , rich , telling : you do not see in his delineations the mere buffoon , but an actor with a true conception of his character , and a purpose in his acting . Mr . Walter , as Dandie jDiwmont , who fears nothing but witchcraft—who savs of Meg that " be she witch or devil , it ' s all one to Dmidie , " and yet acknowledges that' « he felt queer like when she was conjuring , " was really excellent . Mr . Allen , as Harry Bertram , sung delightfully , and Miss E . Stanley , as Julia- Mamering . with Madlle . Helen Condell , as Lucy Bertram , acquitted themselves well . The characters throughout were well sustained , and the whole performance did great credit to the talented
company . The Fbasehs' Ml-sical and Ii-tebabt Evenings . — It was with feelings of no ordinary satisfaction that wc saw it announced that the Fraser family were about again to visit the Metropolis : for , entertaining a vivid recollection of the high gratification they had afforded in the provinces , we were glad of the opportunity to renew our acquaintance . It is indeed a treat of no common order to spend an " evening" with them , listening to the sentimental songs of the younger , and the bravura songs of the elder Miss Fraser . They appear not only to sing the words , but to think the thoughts , and feel the feelings of the poet whose production they are giving expression unto . In duets their voices harmonise beautifully : but it is in some favourite glee , in which the sentiment of- the poet and the music of the composer are ricldy and appropriately blended together , that the " family" appear to full advantage . We recommend all within the sphere of our influence to pay them a visit . They will not regret either the time or the money .
The Colosseum . —This temple of ingenuity aud pictorial art has lately been much improved by the addition of the splendid painting of iondoii by Ni ght . To give a description of this picture , so as to convey an approximate idea to the reader of the sublime scene presented to view is beyond our power ; and we must content ourselves with a bare notice of the sights which mav be seen by day and by night , reminding our readers that they must ' see the reality before they can at all appreciate our description of it . The entrance from Regent ' s Park has undergone con . siderable improvement , in addition to which a new one has been made from Albany . street . The one from Albany street isthe only one open during the evenihir exhibition On entering from Regen t jParkthe visitor deeends tci the basemen story and en iu . the Glyptoiheca , or Museum of Sculpture , the magnificence of which at . once "S the eye . Here may be found studies for ah minds statues of aU grades , from the Queen in her robes of splendoui " o SSrWS ? ^ erer shivering in the storm , clothed only with rags The splendour of the room will please the eye , the statues afford food for the mind , for both
grave and gay . In the centre of tho room is the circular framework , enclosing the staircase leading to the patio , rania , and the ascending and descending ruoni . To those persons inclined to corpulency we would recommend the staircase , the ascension by it will afford them pleasant exercise ; but to others we would say , enter the ascending room and take the ups and downs of colosseum life easv . This room is capable of holding twelve persons , and is raised by means of machinery in connection with a steam , engine . It is beautifully fitted up iu the Elizebethan style , and is worth tho attention of the visitor . On leaving the ascending room the visitor will , without any stretch of fancy , imagine himself on the gallery above the outer dome of St . Paul ' s cathedral : in passing round which gallery , the whole of St Paul ' s ; the bright line of lights from the shops in the leading thoroughfares , stretching out as far as the eye can trace , contrasted with the . dark masses of buildiiurs r »
heved only at intervals by a sort of iguius fatuus , or now and then brightened by the fitful glare from Hie balconv of some distant market , renders the whole scene imposinir and pleasing in the extreme . Descending again to the glyptotheca , the visitor proceeds by a corridor , like the one by which he entered this museum , which leads to the refreshment room , at the north end of which is -i door leading to the Swiss Cottage , with Mont Blauc- the ula ciers , and the mountain torrent . At the south end of the refreshment room is the entrance to the conservatories the Gothic aviary , the ancient ruins , the promenade and the stalactite caverns ; any one of whicli will surpris e the visitor , particularly the caverns—a visit to which will amply repay the time spent . A more particular description of these must be reserved for a future notice . The over , grown city of London is also presented to view . To attempt a description of this magnificent work of art would
uetutue . Another short staircase leads to a higher ga ! . lery , from which the great picture is seen in another point of view : but the view from this point does not give a simi . lar idea of the hurry and bustle of the crowded thorough , tiircs , the eye being more directed to the outskirts of the vast congregations of bricks aud mortar . Another stair , case leads out to the top of the Colosseum , from which a fUM-iew is obtained of Regent ' s Park and the buildings around . It is here that the visitor is struck with the immensity of the scene he has just left . The circumscribed view , blotted as it is on all sides by smoke , soon compels him to return , and gaze upon a great city , on a plain , eu . circled by hills iu the distance , rather than upon a patch from one side of such city , which patch , compared with tho picture , seems paltry and almost unworthy of notice London by Night , from the same galleries , also impresses the visitor with the vastness of the metropolis .
Royal Polytechnic Institi-tion . —The perfect drain , age , not only of the surface , but also of the subsoil , is nowacknowledged to be one of the primary elements in the process of agriculture ; but the immense outlay of capital necessary to carry out such an object has proved a great drawback upon tiie progressive improvement of our waste lands : consequently large tracts of country , which by draining might be brought into a state of cultivation , re . main worse than useless ; for not onl y are they unpro . ductive as regards crops , but are constantl y giving off poisonous efHuvia from the stagnant water and decaying vegetable matter which they contain , which must UCCeS . savily exert considerable influence over the sanatory
condition of the country . These facts , together with the constant excitement kept up among agriculturists , seem to have acted as powerful stimuli to the inventive genius of man ; for in addition to the ingenious contrivance of Mr . Ainslie for making draining tiles , pipes , & c ., lately de . posited at the Polytechnic Institution , there are two others—one by Messrs . Cottam and llalem , engineers , and the other by Mr . Webster , of Southampton—each differin " from the other in construction , but all beautifullr simple and effective . Of course we do not presume to sav which machine will prove the most useful , but would strongly recommend an inspection of them to all those who may feel an interest in such matters .

WRAY'S BALSAMIC PILLS , a certain , safe , and ni » most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of strictures , seminal weakness , pains in the loins , affections of the kidneys > gravel , rheu- matism , lumbago , gonorrhcea , gleets , local debility , irrita- tion of the bladder or urethra , and other diseases of the > urinary passages . The unprecedented success that has i attended the administration of these pills , since they wet * i made public , has acquired for them a sale more extensive t than any other proprietary medicine extant , and the cir- - cumstaucc of their entirely obviating tho necessity ef f having ! recourse to those disgusting , nauseous , and in * many cases highly injurious medicines ( asc » p » ibii , eubebs , i , & C ) , has obtained for them a reputation unequalled ia n the annals of medicine . Prior to being advertised , theso it pills were employed in private practice in upwards of 1 , 800 W cases , many of them most inveterate—in many thowjand id cases since , and in no one instance kuowtt to foil , or to to produce those unpleasant symptoms so often experieiiM * si while taking copaiba , and that class of medicines usually ly resorted to in these complaints . The proprietor pledge' ct himself that not one particle of copaiba , either resin , or or balsam , cubebs , or any deleterious ingredient , enters their jir composition . Copaiba and cubebs have long been th » h » most commonly employed medicines in tho above cam- n » - plaints ; but , from the uncertainty in their effects , together itf with their utter iuefticacy in many cases , are fast declining itig in reputation ; and , from the unpleasant symptoms ia- invariably produced from taking copaiba , especially iu tti » tli » early stage of the complaint , many of the most abUhi * modern practitioners condemn it as dangerous , and a . m ** msdicine not to be depended upon . Many persons , aftsrfter having suffered more from the effects of the remedy Jha'iha'i the virulence of the disease , and , after a patient but paia-wia- ¦ fill parsoverar . ee , have beau compelled to relinquish it * Vs > use , the whole system having became more or less affecte ^ M .. and the disease as bad , if not worse , than at th & com commencement . As regards cubebs , it j jrue that tlw 3 « lw 3 «' violent effects are not experienced as w , uilung copaiMbti ., but they seldom effect & cure , unless m » cc ac & vo mchnch - cinesaro administered . The Balsamic Pills are free from any of the- above ol ' j objections ; they act specifically on the urinary passages igcs and , from their tonic properties , tend to strengthen tin thff system and improve the general health . They rcquir ^ uir " neither confinement nor alteration of diet ( except atetiibsti ' ¦ aeuce from stimulants , where considerabls iaflamma «« "Mi «" - ' exists ) , and , as experience has amply pso-ved , they wil y will effect a cure sooner than copaiba ( the dangerous resulf * sul « i of which , in the inflammatory stages , are too well kni >« 'ino « to need comment ) , or any other mediciae in present uset use : and may be justl y considered the onlv safe and efficacio ' -Hcio'Ji remedy in all stages of those disorders .
