" Sia,—Having suff e r e d most dreadfully for the last h six years B 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 rills. 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 better 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 ttey all speak highly of the benefit th ey have received from tem. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effec:ed by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, The above testimoni a l ex hibi ts the never-failing effects WILSON. 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. ' Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by.his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors threughout the United liiii,gdorn. Price 2a. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas l'rout, 229, Strand, London," im pressed apon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine. A B. I E. NI One half the werid a re desolately si ng le, and the other suppotlng them married, questionahly contented. Diffidence, or a `-ease of right determine the former, and miscalculate,l hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea o f caution ahund worldly prudence, and th e i n di ssoluble, regret tin prostint rry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, amyl broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only 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.

" It wa s rumoure d all over the , town yesterday that was the intention of the Old Irelenders not to allow the Young Ireland tea party to he held; and we began to believe this to be true, when, upon the arrival of Meagher and Mitchell from Dublin they were violently assailed, and got into the hotel with great difficulty, a Young Irelender having pulled out a pistol and declared that ho would shoot tho tirst man who attempted to fol low them into the hotel. It was then discussed whether the ' party' should take plsee or not, and the ayes carrying it by a very small majority, it did accordingly take place. In the course of the fray that followed Smith O'Brien received a cut on the head and a severe contusion on his side, one of his ribs being said to be broken : Meagher got into the hotel under the protec tion of two men, armed with daggers, who kept dealing blows right and left. Mitchell, Choy say, was so hard pressed that he ran up to the door of a house, and there defended himself with a dagger until he was let into the house to save his life. After the troops were withdo arwn, the at about half-p ast ten o'clock, the mob broke int store where th e meet i ng the cups, saucers, plates, benches, and ornamental lestoonin gs , an d then retired satisfied, having maltreated) two policem en w h o h ad been stationed there, and, not being relieved, were unwilling to quit their posts. Mr. Cruise, the hotel-keeper, was struck on the head by a stone aimed at Mitchell. Nothing could exceed the chagrin - and di scom fi ture of Meagher and Mitchell ; after ordering and counter-ordering a car for Ratlikeale, they ended by induciag Mr. Cruise to let the Cork coach be packed and horsed in his yard (contrary to usual practice), and then, having safely l o d ge d t h emse l ves in side, the two h eroes had the yard gate suddenly opened, and they wer e whirled off in search of a new field of glory." Thus has this game of brag ended in a complete ex posure of the em pi tness of the hands of these bold players, and the unsubstantial character of tl, whole Repeal movement has been exhibited in a locality here tofore considered as one of its most redoubtable strong holds. If the Government now only follows in the wake of the catastrophe of Limerick with firmness and vigour, it is within its power not only to put down the Young Irelat,d treason, but to extinguish the smouldering embers of chronic anarchy so long kept alive by the Conciliation-hall Repeaters, and Which is perhaps more fatal to the prosperity of the country than open insur , ruction.

"A PROCLAMATION. ----- IRELAND. AN UNEXPECTED CATASTROPHE. DUBLIN, MAY I.—The greatest astonishment, and not a little hearty laughter, were excited here this morning by the news of a most unexpected catastrophe that has arrived to the movement, through the persons of its great ,leaders and heroes, of which the following express, for warded by the editor of the Limerick Chronicle, furnishes the detail s: — 3nlj has resign e d the e ft an add ress to his ' " Limerick Chronicle-office, Sunday, T wo o ' c l ock. repre sentation " Ai r. of Smith this O'Bri e county, ain con stituents at our office. " The reasons are obvious. The lion. Gentleman was last night assaulted, and treated with the greatest disrespect, by an immense crowd, who surrounded the building in Thomas -street, where he and his co -patriots, Messrs. Meagher and Mitchell, were being entertained at a soirée by the members of the Sarsfield Confederation Club. For the last re:) years the city has not been thrown into such a state of excitement and disturbance—the windows and doors of the building were demolished— stones and missiles were hurled in through the broken sashes—shots were fired at the Confederates, who, in self-defence, were obliged to tear up the seats and forms to protect themselves—an effigy of Mr. Mitchell was burned outside the door, and the tar barrel was placed so convenient to the premises that they took fire, to the ter ror of all within. The police and local authorities, viz., the Mayor; Mr. Henry Maunsell, High Sheriff; Mr. Henry utson, Mr. John Crips, Mr. Richard Russell, Mr. William Hartigan, and the 'resident magistrates, fortu nately arrived in time to prevent the building from being consumed, and the rioters were dispersed by the police and military, horse, foot, 'and artillery, which were called out under Major-General Napier. The scene was frightful, and had it not been for the intervention of the authorities, the consequences would have been awful. The High Sheriff visited the banquet-hall, and an nounced that the military and police force would be withdrawn if the meeting did not break up. This had the desired effect. Mr. Meagher and Mr. Mitchell were as seditious as ever, if not worse. Tranquillity was not restored in that city until one o'clock this morning. Mr. Meagher left for Cork, and Mr. Mitchell for Dublin, this morning. They must admit that tney got a warm reception from the Repeaters of Limerick—both would have been murdered by the mob had it not been for the protection afforded by the authorities. " Mr. Dickson, a resident gentleman, possessing large estates in both the county and city of Limerick, is uni- Venially looked upon as a person most eligible and likely to fill the present vacancy caused in the represen tation of this county. He has already had several ap plications and offers of support from numerous influential quarters." " CLARENDON. " Whereas by an Act passed in this present session of Parliament, in the eleventh year of her Majesty's reign, intituled ' An Act for the better prevention of crime and outrage in certain parts of Ireland, until the first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and forty nine, and to the end of the then next session of Parlia ment,' it is amongst other things enacted, ' That when ever in the judgment of the Lord-Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, by and with the advice of the Privy Council of Ireland, it shall be necessary for the prevention of crime and outrage, that the said Act should apply to any county, county of a city, or county of a town, or any barony, or baronies, half barony or half baronies iu any county at large, or any district of less extent than any barony or half barony in Ireland, it shall be lawful to and for the Lord- Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, by and with the advice of the Privy Council of Ireland, to declare by proclamation, to be published in the Dublin Gazette, that from and after a day to be Named in such proclamation, the said Act shall apply to any county, county of a city, or county of a town, or any barony or baronies, half barony or half baronies in any county at large, or any district of less extent than any barony or halt barony in Ireland :' " Now we, the Lord-Lieutenant, do, by this our pro clamation, in pursuance and execution of the Act, and by and with the advice of her Majesty's Privy Council in Ireland, declare, that from and after Friday, the sth day of the month of May instant, one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight, the said Act shall apply to and be in force in and for the county of the city of Limerick. " And of this our proclamation all justices of the peace of the said county of the city of Limerick, con stables, peace officers, and all others whom it may con cern, are to take notice.

Thereat for the week amounted to 45/ , PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES.—The catastrophe so long feared in Ireland has at length come to pass. We have to announee a serious collision at Limerick. There has been fighting in the streets. Shots have been fired, and the long hoarded pikes brought into actual use. Houses have been attacked, and military and police, horse and foot, and even the artillery, have been called out to protect the lives of citizens assailed by the fury of the mob. The victims of popular exasperation have had to fly to hide themselves, and to be escorted to places of safety by an armed force. A Member of the Imperial Legislature, abused, hooted, beaten, wounded, bleeding, flying, and terrified, has resigned the political position which in volved such perils. Here, then, is the beginning of the end. It is scarcely possible to calculate the effect of this terrible outbreak on the seditious spirits of John-street, and the 300,000 " holy bayonets" of Paris. But stop a moment, M. Ledru Rollin, before you send out your commissaires to Dublin or your ships to Bantray Bay. An important particular remains to be told. The fighting in the streets was between Repealer and Repealer. The assailants were the moral force fac tion, while the physical force stood, or, rather, did not stand on the defensive. The pikes were pointed against the friends of the late Mr. O'Connell, The military and police were called out to protect Messrs. Meagher and Mitchell. The two valorous chiefs, after thundering threats against the Viceroy and his army, fled from a few lively Old Irelenders, hid themselves in a pantry, threw their pikes into the housemaid's closet, and dropped tho vitriol pot into a dust bole. The blood that flowed was Mr. Smith O'Briea's. He has lost several teeth, and one of his ribs is broken. The future King of Ireland has accordingly abdicated the sove reignty which his subjects refuse to confer. He has written for the Chiltern Hundreds, and, we be lieve, may shortly be expected to join the illustrious circle of refugees in this country. Sic transit gloria mundi. So ends repeal.

They charged his Excellency with endeavouring to provoke a collision, that his soldiers and police might have a pretence for inter fering and slaying Ott physical force leaders. They have themselves provoked the collision, and the soldiers and police have interfered, not, however, to destroy, but to save. Something of this we happened to know before. What sounded oddly enough. to English ears, it had already transpired that the physical force gentry could not go home from their meetings with out an escort of police to protect them from their moral force rivals. It was suite evident that whatever tho theoretical relations of these terms, the things for which they actually stood were very different from the English notion of the words. Physical force meant mou thing and b ragg i ng, blarney and bombast, and Was, in fact, a branch of the rhetorical art. Moral force, on the contrary, meant knocking a man's teeth down his throat, giving a black eye, punching in the ribs, dragging through the mud, stoning, kicking, Pommelling, and contusing. There has been a contro versy at Limerick. The advocates of physical force mustered in grim state at a soiree. They drew there knives and cut plenty of bread and butter, while tea flowed in profusion. Cups and saucers were marshalled in awful array. In the intervals were posted plates of buttered toast. Ornamental festoons hung o'er the tented field. Hideous drill. Sanguinary a ! We d o not wonder to hear that Limerick, the scene rmament of this tea-kettle enzeute, is to be proclaimed. Suc was the f ear f ul audacity of the physical force demonstra h tion. On the other hand the advocates of moral force had recourse to their own gentler arguments. They rea soned with fists and persuaded with shillelahs. Their figures of speech were brickbats, and their climax a tar barrel, surmounted by an effigy of Mr. Mitchell in flames, which they brought so " convenient " to the fortress of the physical force tea-drinkers, that it was soon in flames also, and the desperadoes threw down their un finished bread and butter and fled for their lives.

But when it beeamo apparent That-this burly Horne Minister wished to upset and over turn everything, every honest man wished to baulk him, , and resolved to vote for men of moderate opinions, no ) matter what the colour of their politics. Hence it ,is that we find a great number of landed proprietors and of farmers —a considerable number of iron-masters and propietors of forests —some merchants —many retired officers—about 150 advocates —very many nolaires, but an inconceivably small number of tradesmen, mechanics, and working men—elected. Flotte, the chef de cuisine, has failed in his ambition; it is a plat manqué, and he may now go back to his casseroles, lest the broth should spoil. Ja min, too, scieur de long, may again descendito his sawpit, for no one constituency will take him as a top sawyer. The journalists, too, who about a month ago amounted, as candidates, to sixty-six at the least, are now reduced, as elected, to less than 20. Neither Poupart, nor Borie, nor Durrieu, nor Casson, nor Degeorge, nor Gallois, nor Dupoty, nor Rey, nor Crepu, nor Considerant, nor Kaufmonn, nor Duras, are returned ; and in the place of many of these publicists and scribblers, several tried men of the late and of former chambers are returned. Then MM. Teulon, Lavay, and Bousquet are successful for Gard; M. Lavarret, for Gers; MM. Bacot, Lumeniais, Taschereau, and Gouin, for Indre et Loire ; MM. Viel lard.Havin, De Tocqueville, Dubois, and Lempereur, for Manche ; M. Bigot and Chenais, for M a y enne; M. Pier ron, for the P as d e C a l ais; M. Mauguin, for the Cote d'Or • MM. Benill e an d R em i ly, for the Seine et Oise— M. Laboisnere, ' for Vaucluse. Our readers will see from this hasty glance, that the old Democratic opposition, called the Extreme Gauche, have been elected in the greatest number—that the Gauche, or the opposition Barrot, have :also been largely returned, —that the Droit, or Legitimists, have also in the west had some successes. Whereas the left centre and the right centre have been generally worsted—the Doctri naires, or Guizot party, most signally so, for we be lieve not one personal adherent of the ex-Minister will be found in the new Constituent. The mere trading politicians have also been signally discomfited, and it is a curious but instructive fact, that M. Thiers, who fancied himself so very clever and so very cunning, six months and three months ago, in not attending the banquets, and not pronouncing any opinion upon them, is left to meditate on future works of imagi nation, which he calls history, in the Rue St. George.. Alas ! for his poor publishers. If they have not failed long ago, they must indeed have more solid resources than works of imagination. This triumph of moderate and well-disposed men has maddened the clubs and Communists, and by their emissaries they have aroused all the dangerous spirits in Rouen, in Amiens, and in Limoges. But in the two former places the insurrection has been speedily put down by the National Guard and the military; and we have no doubt the next accounts will bring satisfactory tidings from Limoges also. Every sane man in France now feels, universal and with suffrage , l t i h b o e t r , t y w i o t f h p p u perfect m e lib et e i n r t g y s ,of the press—with p er f ect classes of good men will thereforep there is nothing more to gain or to combat for. All unite in down i anything like insurrection, for, with p er p e t ua l nsurrec tions, no Government of any ki n d— monarc hical, oli garchical, or republican—can live. A s t o the form of government to be decided on by the National Assembly, there can be no doubt that that body will ratify the A proclamation Republic; of i s t h h e o w R e t p h n e b l i o c o o ly n t f h o e rro 2 4 th o f o f February.government possible in F rance; an d we b e li eve we d o not err in stating that it will be a Republic with a single President, as in America—with a single Chamber, and without a senate. That Lamartine will be the irst President elected we entertain no manner of doubt; as little that plenary powers will be accorded to him. Much has been .said in one English journal of the rob bery of the late King of the French and of his family. We cannot too often repeat, that the property of the t p ra u t k e e d, of. a pforrivtahtee ppaeyrsmonens,t Occrolreadninsghatos French heeni con ( fi e s q c u a e t s e t d re ba .u t d s icia. eq . seques trated, and d certain fo r wastee bt saawdnucies dilapidation to o the to have been committed on the the royal, and are now 'the forests, When these debts arenatal?dnal9 pdefalcations provided for, we haPve2 property of what were domains and state alleged and to t; and the alleged o doubt the real and personal property of the Duke of Orleans will be restored to him--for the future President of the Republic is a man of honour and a gentleman, as well as a man of genius —and the Minister of Justice has signalised himself in private life by paying all his father's creditors twenty shillings in the pound, with interest, fourteen or fifteen years after that father's failure in the silk trade, in the city in which M. Guizot and M. Or e . mieux were both born. Men like these are not likely to rob any one, still less an aged and discrowned Prince, in exile and in alleged poverty. We say in alleged po verty, for the fact is denied in a very curious and in teresting work, just putflished by Mr. Newby, of Mor timer-street, Cavendish-square, entitled, " Analogies and Contrasts," which has been placed before us while we write. Poor or rich, however, the late King of the French is entitled to justice, and that he will have to the fullest extent laid down by Sirey, the French law authority on sequestotions and the Code. Civil. . .. U police, it is clear that his friends would have had to put him together, if they could, when the tea party had broken up. It is, however, never too late to be wise. Mr. O'Brien has given up politics; that is, politics have given up him. lie is resolved to renounce the harmless occupation of setting Celt and Saxon by the ears, for he finds that they only agree all the more in punishing him. He will take his pike to his paternal estate, and use it for setting cabbage plants or dibbling its beans. In these recreations he will soon forget us, and we forget him. Thirty years hence he will tell some marvellous tales of his youth, how he stood up once as the advocate of physical force, and was morally but most cruelly worsted; and he will also relate that he once took a part in the farce of Repeal. CHRONICLE.—M. de Lamartine has achieved the highest civil honours which modern history, perhaps, re cords. He realises and ,resumes, in his own person, a larger number of suffrages and votes than ever were before represented by one man. The election of Napo leon to the Consulate and the Empire cannot be con sidered as exceptional; because, ..how greatly soever he may have fulfilled the necessities of order and the hopes e o v f e ti u m l a i j . o T ri h ty ie , rs er as honest or spontaneous.

We read that a t th e Tlielet re d e la Nation (the old Opera) the whole house Stood up, amidst universal acclamations, in recognition and excitation. These tri butes are dangerous to a poet's head; let us, however, Ifolee that his may be strong enough to ride the whirl wind of applause, and direct the storm of approbation, which his s tatesmanship -like qualities (perhaps some what prematurel and aroused,y admitted) have apparently provoked t hat M It would be certainly i m p oss ible to deny .de It at this moment rallies round him, and concentrates in himself,even more of European than thy.

But among us, upo n t hi s side of the Channel, his renown had undergone no vicis situdes of disparagement or blight ; it had become a household word in its connexion with our let ters and ourselves. The boyish verses which were addressed to Lord Byron at Ravenna, and which had given such pleasure to the great post's vanity at a time when it knew little enough of pleasure, were unforgotten; and it was further known that M. de Lamartine had married an English wife, bad paid a visit to Lady Hester Stanhope, and (almost alone among his countrymen) could make allusions to England and the English without a blunder. It is, therefore, not surprising that his recent triumph should have here been entertained with such unanimity of appreciation and such universality of joy. We would fain, at such a moment, say nothing which might appear inharmonious with a concord so honourable and n o general; but we have read French history to insufficient purpose, and the fate of M. Guizot will have taught us little, if it is not in the hour of exultation, and the meridian of an ovation, that we should the most distrust and fear. There is another statesman in France whose fate in the elections of 1848 may serve to point their moral, with a philosophy as ,instructive as the glory of M. de Lainartino. It is in, vain that tee look for the name of Alphonse Thiers in the retuins. treater as a writer, thinker, speaker, eeouomist, financiele'Politician, than the greatest of those who now predominate and rule, he has been rejected by his fellow-citizens, after a career which fo - hteen years had been the cynosure of tOeir,, No man., . , the type the coming regency, he was of their future destinies. to . person • me Minister. Ile made (it was nut i t too much to say) the Revolution, which Franken stein-like, has destroyed him ; and the catas trophe- of so - great a fortune has given one more ' illustration to the melancholy truth of sic 'vs non cobis. It is true that D.I. Thiers only intended Reform (by the movement which he directed and impelled), _and, with it, the restoration, more or less ' complete, of the Government of the First of March. But even his friends, coadjutors, and subordinates have been less unsuccessful than himself. MM. Odilon Bar rot, Vivien, Duvergier d'llaurannes, Billault, have been returned. The reason of his postponement to men, so much his inferiors, is plain enough, and sug gestive of painful reflections. It is not that his great capacity or long services were ungratefully questioned or disputed; but he was considered as the symbol of a system which had used the hopes, passions, prejudices, aspirations, requirements of the people (in all countries honest, even when most bline)to small ends and ignoble purposes; which, in all the prescriptive impunity of success, had unblushingly paraded the spectacle of avowed aporstacy and unexplained corruption; which flagrantly professed and taught, in rites and practices, au infidelity in public virtue and political consistency. POST. -11e violent outrages which have been occa sioned in se's eral parts of France by the success of the more moderate .candidates for election to the National Assembly seem, at first sight, rather difficult of explana tion. As tl ie suffrage is universal, no candidate can have been st: ccessful except there were a majority of the men population in his favour. How, then, happens it that multitudinous assemblages burst forth in violence against the (elective results, and that armed citizens have to be brought from other neighbourhoods to put them down? We. suspect that these emeutes are the result of certain plar.s and operations organised in Paris, into which many persons are drawn more by fear than I'avour, and that many who, in the crowd, seem to be against the moderates, are the same who have placed in the electoral urns the names of those very moderates. It is easy :to see why a very considerable number of the French populace should be dissatisfied with even republican I;overnment, or any other government that the wit of man could devise. What they want is a state of no-govern ment. Their notion of liberty is the liberty of helping themselves to that which is not theirs. Their perfection of right is the unlimited license to rob. It is nothing to them whether power be held by a King or by a Chamber sof representatives, if there be a power to maintain order and the rights of property. If the laws be upheld, the power which upholds the laws, be it a republic or at i abselute government, is, and must be, in their estimation, a tyranny. What these people want is an assembly sitting at Paris, not to rebind the loosened cords of society, but to cut them asunder, that the s.e parate fragments of society may dash against each other an d make pi ey for the spoiler. They du not want a Go vernment to repair or rebuildor b those social institutions whi c h have beerf sh a k e thrown dome in the revolutio nar y shock; but they want a power to throw dow n w h at as yet has been only of and tr, i shake what as has yet stood firm. The y of robbers up in principle --of calculators upon the classgan of confiscation—we believe to be in France y derable, and. eef course there is in them no la v c e k r- oefontshie boldness of desperation. It is this class, we apprehend, that has oil ce-nized the enieutes against the results of the elections, as id which pretends that the candidates elected by universal' s uffrage owe their electioni to a " reaction " ter we believe. to be a fraud, of which ally. of the spirit :which overthrew ro of which ci m o u v r e d r e n r m i se - n tla t, The whole mat o hopeb jec - object , h a e n i l )! robbery is the e adopted means.

The report, which is of unusual length, after giving a full statement of the working of the line, the damage sustained iu the revolution, and all other particulars, says— " It results from the details which we have just laid before you of your enterprise, that in spite of the disas trous state of commerce and industry during the first year b oeen f yo realiur uu sed dcrtaking, a revenue of about 5 per cent. b to you over and above the service of }'our loans, and that there is reason to hope for a notable amelioration in the next year." The report concludes as follows : " The statement which we have just laid before you does not permit us to distribute amongst you in money the amount of the last year's dividend, but we propes6 to settle it by bonds, without date, bearing interest, which is the same plan as has been adopted by the St. Germains, Orleans, and :Northern Railway Companies. These bons will be delivered to 3 ou in exchange for the coupons of the second dividend from the 10th of May, ut the office of the Company. The coupons of the first dividend, which have not been paid, will be settled in the same manner." On delivery of the receipts for the dividend the ac counts were approved of, and the meeting separated. THE NEW REFORM MOVEMENT IN MANCHESTER. -MANCHES T E R TUESDAY.—Last night th ere was a arge meetin g held in the Corn Exchange, Manchester, n favour of Parliamentary Reform and a reduction of axation. Not less than 2,500 people could have been present, and hundreds were disappointed in consequence of not being able to gain admittance.

The meeting, which was a most enthusiastic one, did not separate till a late hour. THE PLUNDER Or THE TCILERIES.—The police continue to seize every day some of the articles stolen from the Tuileries on the 24th of February, and to ar rest the authors of those robberies. A chiffennier, who ' had carried away a richly ornamented pistol belonging to the Duke de Nemours, of which he had sold the gold stock for 300 f, was apprehended on Friday and com mitted to prison. On the same day a city sergeant, in whose possession a considerable quantity of the plunder of the Tuilleries was found, was likewise arrested. Among other articles concealed in his straw bed were a beautiful double-barrelled gun, with the initials of the Duke of Orleans, the sword of a superior officer, a cavalry sword, an embroidered flag, &c.
