" Sta,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box. I never was bettor in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully. " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em 6itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un aomprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the wily marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Matriculated Member ef the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fu lfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutua l happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source ia every instance disclosed, in how maws- could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointmeits. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the nrolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aoquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering :roan their invariable consequeaces, unwisely entertaina a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisites gal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his pfes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'3IEIIT has obtained the highest medical honous, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for , many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost, solely to the treatment of these diseases.

We have had frequent opportunities of directing the attention of our readers to the proceedings of this ad mirable institution. The commercial travellers are an important and valuable section of the community, and, as a class, exposed more than ordinarily to the vicissi tudes and casualties which render an asylum such as this !or their children so desirable. It is with great plea sure, therefore, that we have watched the rapid progress of the Commercial Travellers' Schools, which have been founded for the purpose of clothing, educating, and g tn u a i t sh t e h s is th en is ei b e e4y w a il s l a ev c e la n maintaining gratuitously the orphans of deceased, and children of necessitous, members of the commercial body, and from the energy of character which distin be proud.

It was conducted by Mr. Smith, of the British and Foreign School Society, and the intelligence and acquirements exhibited by the children in their answers to the examiners questions elicited general admiration, and confer much credit upon largeste n at n e their master. The examination was diversified by dra matio and poetical recitations, which gave a relief to the proceedings, and displayed much taste and discrimina tion-on the part of the committee, at the same time that they evinced that attention had been paid, not only to the imparting of knowledge, but also to the art of com municating such knowledge in an elegant and effective manner, an art which,without wishing to make every child an orator, we think should receive more attention than it usually does in or 4 1 a u scholastic establishments. hitrittitint,citnle thaw, the company satainara to an excellent cold collation; which was served in a'ea pacious marque, decorated with flags, which had been erected in the grounds of the institution for the occasion. David Waddington, Esq., M.P., occupied the chair, as at the examination, supported by some of the principals of eminent commercial firms, amongst whom we noticed George Moore, Esq. • Arthur Wilcoxon, Esq.; Robert Wilcoxon, Esq.; Robert Johnson, Esq.; obert Clarke, jun., Esq.; John Moir, jun, Esq.; W. Thornbarrow, Esq.; 11. Teape, Esq.; R. M. Phillips, Esq.; Saun ders, Esq., &c. &c.; Messrs. W. H. Cary and Ray, the medical officers, and G. Lawrence, Esq., the honorary secretary to the society. Ample justice was done to the repast which was the product of Mr. Young husband's culinary skill, and one of the most pleasing features of the whole was, that the monotonous appear ance presented by the exclusive congregation of gentle men at ordinary public dinners, was, in this instance, relieved by the graceful intermingling of the fairer por tion of creation, for a considerable number of ladies graced the festivity with their presence. Nor were the charms of music wanting ; a band had been provided, which from time to time enlivened the scene by the per formance of appropriate airs; and the impression left on our mind was, that apart from all considerations of a a pecuniary enefit to the society to be derived from such occasions, there must be a vast amount of good arising from the friendly interchanges of social feeling and generous sentiments which they call forth. We are sometimes told that Englishmen can do nothing without a dinner, but of this we feel certain that a great deal of the efficiency of that which they do perform springs from the knitting together of their mental convictions with their social sympathies, which is produced by this prac tice of " eating salt " together as the Arabs phrase it. At a given point in the entertainment, various prizes consisting of well-chosen books, were distributed to the most deserving of the children, by the chairman, with appropriate observations of exhortation and encourage ment, which constituted not the least interesting feature of the occasion ; and after the usual loyal and other toasts had been severally done justice to, and various excellent addresses delivered, the assembly broke up evidently highly gratified with the day's proceedings. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNG 27.—The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, Com mander-in-Chief in the East Indies and China, went out of harbour to Spithead yesterday evening in tow of the Echo steamer, assisted by her own jibs and spanker in admirable style. A large concourse of the inhabitants of these towns assembled on the walls, piers, and bat teries to witness her departure, as, Prom the date of her commission, she has been a remarkably popular and favourite ship, in consequence of the considerate treat ment her crew has met with from the captain and officers. On passing the batteries her band played " The girls we leave behind us," " Auld Lang Syne," " Rule Britannia," &c. On rounding the outer buoy of the Spit she fired a salute very smartly. and pn ounflinp thA on the poop played most appropr at, acquaintance be forgot " (Captain Morgan having been commander to Captain Martin when in the Trafalgan, 120). The Hastings has upwards of sixty officers on board, five months' provisions and water, and extra stock ; carries out a variety of supplies for the East India and China squadrons, supernumeraries, Lieu tenant Elliott, for the Cambrian, and Lieutenant G. Don Murray, for the Meander, take passage in her for China; and on Friday Mr. Southern, Minister Plenipotentiary to Brazil, will embark, with his secretary and domestic staff, for passage to Rio de Janeiro. After leaving Rio, the Hastings will not touch at any port until she arrives at Ceylon, where she will (if necessary) refit, and thence proceed to Singapore, where Sir Francis Collier will meet her, and again hoist his flag on board her. During the period of his command Sir Francis intends visiting the islands of the Indian Archipelago, especially Borneo, and the settlement founded there by his Excellency Sir James Brooke. The Hastings is under imperative orders to sail hence on Saturdayimorning after post time for her destination, calling at Madeira to land a mail. The captain, officers, men, and ship, will take with them the best wishes of the inhabitants of this port for their safety, honour, and welfare. She will be officially inspected, and her crew mustered by Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in. Chief, to-morrow, prior to being paid advance. The present flag-ship on the China station, the Cambrian, 40, Commodore Plumridge, arrived at Penang en route to Hong-Kong, on the sth of May, from Bombay. It is worthy of mention as something remarkable, that during the whole term of fitting out no accident has happened to any one belonging to the Hastings, an ex cellent proof of good superintendence and workman ship: rounanzthagtmui .f th n ved most appropriately Should auid The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Dacres, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., was paid wages down to six months this day at Spithead.

The music is just suited to her florid style of singing, and she throws a dash of coquetry into her impersonation of the character which tells well with the audience. She was very successful with the famous song of " The Regiment," and was loudly encored in it. The duet with her lover was also prettily given, and she came out with great effect in the second act, where she petrifies the old Marchioness by her torrent of roulades, reverting every now and then to her joyous " rataplan." The part of Tonio was played by Mr. Allen, and that of the veteran Sulpice by Mr. Weiss; Madame Feron did that of the old Marchioness. THE NEWSVENDERS' BENEVOLENT PROVIDENT INSTITUTION .—Yesterday evening the friends and sup porters of the Newsvenders' Benevolent Provident In stitution, which is established for granting temporary relief and permanent assistance to masters and servants engaged as venders of newspapers, who, from adversity or distress, require the aid of the benevolent, was held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, to receive the ninth annual report, ending the 31st of May, Mr. James Harmer, the President, in the chair. Mr. Cole, the secretary, read the report, from which it appeared that, in consequence of the stock of the institution having reached 9501., it was in a position to afford permanent assistance to two applicants, and that one, who had formerly been a life su b scr ib er , w ho the committee had recommended, was a candidate for the charity. Mr. Terry moved the adoption of the report, observing that this was the first occasion since the formation of the institution that they were able to grant a life annuity. The resolution being seconded, was unanimously adopted. The treasurer's report was then produced, which showed the assets to amount to 831. 10s. 9d., which, added to the balance due last year, made the income 1401. 17s. 2d. The expenditure reached 11SL Bs. 9d., leaving a balance in hand of 221. Bs. sd. The officers being chosen, the chairman stated that 13/. was the sum proposed to be given by the committee as an annuity to the applicant. Mr. Wood moved, and Mr. Hatton seconded., an amendment, that 161. should be allowed, which was agreed to. The following donations were Kesentedc—ten guineas from the chairman, and two guineas from Mr. Douglas Jerrold. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S CORPORATION.—Yesterday afternoon the annual general court of the governors of the " Corporation-for the Relief of Merchant Seamen, their Widows and Children," was held at the offices of the society, 25, Birchin-lane, Cornhill. The routine affairs having been disposed of, the financial report was read and adopted. The meeting then proceeded to the election of a committee and a ,president for the year ensuing, of ter which pensions and relief were granted to a great nu' nber of applicants. IMPROV EMENT OF BILLINGSGATE MAuarr.—The corporation of the City of London are about to remodel this market and erect a structure, the architectural pro portions of which shall harmonise with the new Coal ExchanEe now erecting opposite Billingsgate. The chain of houses known as Dark-house-lane are to he removed. The old dock, from the fish now being chiefly brought to market by railway, is to be filled up, and a commodious market-place formed on the entire site, being an area of about 15,000 square feet. The Lords of the Treasury have given permission, on applica .tion, that the war-bound ships detained in the several pe.rts in the Channel might transship their car- I goes into British bottoms for conveyance to the ports in the North, Sea. DOMESTIC LIFE. Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American author, whose " essays" have recently excited consi derable attention in this country, delivered last even ing a second lecture at Exeter-hall, for the benefit of the Early Closing Association. The theme of this lecture, " Domestic Life," was, as one of the members _ of the association very justly observed, singularly apposite to the object for which it was delivered— namely, the enabling the youthful portion of a very large and: respectable class of the community to enjoy the sweets of domestic life. Unless the pur poses of the association be carried into effect, Mr. Emerson's lecture would be useless to a great number r of those whom he addressed. It would indeed be mockery for an orator to expatiate upon the happi ness to be obtained by a right enjoyment of domestic life to men compelled to pass the whole of their con scious existence, with very brief intervals, behind the counter of a shop. The few hours in the evening which the association wish to procure for the commer cial young men of the metropolis, Mr. Emerson has taught them how to appreciate and enjoy, and not to them only, but to all who inhabit the sanctuary of home, the teaching of the American lecturer would be appropriate and beneficial. Both literally and technically speaking, his eloquence was of a some what homely character; but his lecture had a higher recommendation than mere eloquence—its greatest attraction was its truthfulness. We had anticipated that Mr. Emerson would have treated " domestic life" con amore, when we called to mind his exquisite essay on " Love," an essay in which many of the sentiments bear a striking resemblance to Tennyson's theory of domestic life, as set forth in " The Prin cess." It is not our purpose to particularise all the " points" of last evening's lecture ; one or two will for the present suffice. The most practically useful of Mr. Emerson's observations was his advice anent the duties of hospitality. Te the hostess of the mansion he says " Care not so much to provide for the coming guest the luxurious table and the magnificent chamber, these things, if he care for them, money will obtain for him at an inn, but rather lavish on him the cordial welcome, the kindly smile, the unceasing affability which money cannot buy." In order to add to the social happiness of communities, the American lecturer strongly recommends a plaa already adopted with considerable success in this country, and which forms the basis of mechanics' institutions, and more especially of the Manchester Athenaeum —namely, the establishment of public museums and libraries, which might contain works of art and literature, of which each individual of the country might desire to avail himself, but which no one of them could perhaps afford to possess. Speaking on this subject, he alluded to a theory of the ancients, which declared , that no individual could be the exclusive possessor of a work of art—that a work of art belonged to all who could see it. This remark elicited consider able applause from the assembly. It is an idea which might be very beneficially reduced to practice. The contemplation of the beautiful exercises a most powerful and most beneficial effect u p on th e h uman mind. The establishment of public galleries and libraries and museums will inevitably lead to the elevation of the character of domestic life among a ' vast portion of the community. Perhaps one of the most beautiful sentiments expressed last night by Mr. Emerson, was that in which he spoke of the salutary effect of practical religion. " Religion," he said, "is not a thing to be taken up occasionally. The thoughts which stretch beyond the bounds of the universe should arise from the' bosom of the domestic hearth." We cannot better conclude these observations than by quoting Mr. Emerson's first sentence to his lecture ; " The man," he said, " who in these days would ob tain the glory of a Phocian or an Epaminondas must be a conqueror in domestic life. By leading himself and teaching his fellow-men to lead a clear and handsome and heroic life he would justly be entitled to those commendations which are awarded to a benefactor of his race." On Friday next Mr. Emerson will deliver his final lecture : the subject is to be " Shakspere." It will be interesting to hear an American's lecture upon the characteristics of our immortal bard, especially when we call to mind the enthusiasm with which Americans regard the name of Shakspere—an en thusiasm which has induced the poet to consider it as counteracting the alienation between the two coun tries occasioned by the American war : " What our mighty lion lost, Our mightier swan shall save." TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday, the 26th, the interminable quarrel was resumed, on the subject of the despatches charged to have been withheld from the Sugar and Coffee Committee. There appears no doubt of the abstract fact, that the despatches 'were not there. The good therefore which it may be hoped the public will derive from the storm, is that the Government will was resumed, and again adjourned. The 'mist does not at all clear up; and like a prudent man in a mist, I mean to keep to the safe side, which will be by voting for going into Committee, and seeing what will come of it afterwards. One argument I have heard, I am prompted to rebel against. I hear it said, " Use slave-grown sugar, because you use slave-grown tobacco and cotton." And there is a great joke about Dr. Lushington and his snuff. Now it strikes me, that this is very much like saying " Thou shalt do murder," because you have fallen into one or two of the other sins in the same neighbourhood prohibited. I cannot see what reason a man's having broken the seventh or eighth commandment is for his being counselled to break the sixth also ; or why a man who has encouraged slavery to the extent of using slave-grown snuff and a slave-grown pocket-handkerchief from the United States, should be invited to mend the matter by en couraging slave-grown sugar also in Cuba and Brazil. Men do not do so in common things. On Tuesday there was no House. I understand I lie under some degree of blame for not having gone with a deputation from Bradford to the Government. Now against this I must urge, that a deputation is welcome to as much of my own time as it likes, but not to the time of the House. If the deputation had gone at three in the morning, it should have found me ready to go with it. But if I had gone then, I must have missed two or three divi sions, on a subject where I had been partially en gaged in keeping friends up to the mark. I went to two several members of the Government, and said to each of them more than ten times what I should have had any chance to say on the deputation. And I further assured the members of the deputation, that though there were parts of their objects which it would require both skill and courage to assist them in, I would do everything it was practicable to do consistently with principle, and which had the slightest probability of producing them any favourable re sults ; in which you will be aware that I allude to the very sore point of French Merinos. Their com plaint is, that the French Government gives a bounty on the exportation of Merinos ; the consequence of which is that the dyers at Bradford dye French Merinos instead of Bradford ones. Now, without in the slightest degree sinking the truth, that the Eng lish community in the aggregate gains all the differ ence of price of the French Merinos which it uses, yet as the object is evidently in the end to create loss and not gain, to wit, by putting down the Bradford manufacture and then raising the price, it may lawfully be opposed. And it is of the more importance, because the system has been recommended for general adoption in the French Chamber, by one of the blind guides who have helped to fill France with mourning. The obvious way to prevent it is to intimate to foreigners, that wherever they give a bounty on exportation, an equal duty shall be laid here on importation. Which is saying more than everybody will do. So that on the whole, in conscience I hold myself acquitted. Miserable work in Paris. All for want of political - economy. People will find it out some day. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, June 28, 1848. MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.—A dreadful murder was committed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne on Sunday night last, under atrocious and daring circumstances. The innocent victim was an infant child, an illegitimate daughter, who was living with her mother, who resided with her parents, decent respectable people of the lower order, in the neighbourhood of Sandgate. The mur derer was the father of the child, on whom it had been affiliated some months ago—since when he had paid the sum of two shilling weekly for its maintenance. He had frequently complained of havin g to pay this money, and said he could not afford to pay it out of his earnings, which were but small. On Sunday night, between nine and ten o'clock, he went t o t h e res id ence of the young woman , and taki ng the child from the cradle, dashed it on the floor; he then took it by the legs and swung it about, and struck several times at the old woman, its grandmother, and then dashed it down, exclaiming, " There, it will not need much after that !" Shouts of " Murder" were raised, and the neighbours alarmed, but in the confusion the murderer escaped. The child was conveyed to the Infirmary, but it lived only a few minutes after its admission. In the mean time information was given to the police, but the retreat of the murderer was not discovered; but on Monday morning he came and delivered himself up at the head police-station. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of the child on Monday, and a verdict of " Wilful murder" returned against the father. Her Majesty Queen Adelaide has commanded a box to be reserved for her on the night of ,the state visit of her Majesty the Queen at Drury-lane Theatre, on the occasion of Mr. Macready's benefit. PRESERVED MEATS.—A further large arrival of meats in a preserved state has just taken phce. The vessel named the Caroline Maria, arrived in the River from Galatz, has brought 34,307 packer ;es of pre served meats, besides 49S quarters of Indi , I n corn, and various other articles, the production of tb' a place.
