BLAIR'S GOUT - and , RHEUMATIC -. PILLS. Copy of a letter from Wilson, chern4t, 3194 Bar York, To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1847. " SlR,—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 abont 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 mach improved my general health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • ,and trey all speak highly of the benefit they hare 'received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effeced by your wonderful medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it. I am, Sir, yours respectfully. ."

" Mr. Smith O'B r i en , M.P., has resigned the repre sentation of this 66(114, and left an address to his con stituents at our office: " The reasons are obviois: The Hon. G en tl eman was last night assaulted, and treated with the greatest disrespect, by an immense crowd, who surrounded the building in Themas-street, where he and big co-patriots, Messrs. Meagher and Mitchell, were being entertained at a soirée by the members of the Saisfield Confederation Club. For the last 50 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 4% atson, 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, toot, 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 arid 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 Repealer. of Limerick—both would have been murdered by the mob had it not been fur the protection aft)rded by the authorities. " Mr. Dickson, a r es id ent gentlema n, possessing large i e k r e s i a y l 1 toy looked ffll the p upon rehe n t estates in both th e county ' and city of Limerick, is unit. a y s ac a a nc r ir e r c s s o u n s caused mosttheeli g re i b p i r e e s a e n n d • Lotion of this county. He has already had several 'ap plicatioas and offer. of support from numerous influential quarters." A correspondent of the Evening Mail supplies the following particulars : • Li-rick, day. " It was rumoure d a ll over the" tow m n yesterday that it was the intention oft he Old Irelanders net to allow tht Young Ireland tea party to be held; end we began helieve this to be true, when, upon the arrival of Meagher and Mitchell from Dublin, they were violent ] ) assailed, and got into the hotel with great ditfi .ulty, Young Irelauder having pulled out a pistol and declared ;hat he would shoot the first man who attempted to fol low them into the hotel. It was then dtscu.ssei whether the' party' should take place or not, and the ayes ' carrying it by - a very small majority, it did according!) 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 bring 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, th e y sa y, 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. Atter the trop broke into the s were withdrawn, at about half-p as t ten o'clock, t h e store where tho m ee ti ng h ad been held, broke al the cups, s a u cers , p l ates, benches, and ornamental festooning's, and then r e ti re d satisfied, h a vi n g maltreated) two policemen w h o h a d b een stationed there, and, not being relie ve d, were unw il ling to quit thcir posts. Mr. Cruise, the hot e l-k eeper, was struck on the head by a mob stone aimed at Mitchell. Nothing could exceed the chagrin and discomfiture of Meagher and Mitchell ; after ordering and counter-ordering a car for Rathkeale, they ended by inductag Mr. Cruise to let the Cork coach be packed and horsed in his yard (contrary to usual practice), and then, having safely lodged themselves iu stde, the two heroes had the yard gate suddenly opened, and they were whirled oft' in search of a new field of glory.' Thus has this game of brag ended in a complete ex posure of the empitness of the hands of these bold players, and the unsubstantial character of the whole Repeal movement has been exhibited in a locality here tofore considered as one of its most redoubtable strong holds. It 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 Ireland treason, but to extinguish the smouldering embers of chronic anarchy so long kept alive by the f C a e t anic a to t t n i h prosperitye all lepe t n a r t sand h , uuu whichntry thanis pe u rh pe a u ps moreinsur. ruction.

We have to announce a serious collision at Limerick. There has been fighting in the streets. Shots have been tired, and the long. hoarded ink. s brought into actual use. llouses have neon attacked, and military and police, horse and toot, and even the artillery, have been called out to protect ;he lives of citizens assailed by the tury of the mob. The victims of popular exasp, raii,.n have had to fly to hide them.elves, and io be escorted to [laces of satety by an armed force. A Member of the Imperial Legislature, abused, hooted, beaten, wounded, bleeding, flying, and ierritied, has resigned the political po-i ion a hich in v,,lved such perils. Here, then, is the beginning of the end. It is scarcely possible to calculate the effect Hof this terrible outbreak on the seditious spirits ..f John-street, and the 300,000 " holy bayonets" et Paris. But stop a moment, M. Ledru Rollin, before you send out your commissaires to Dublin or your ships to Bautray Bay. An important particular remains to be told. The fi g h t i ng i n 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 thunderii;g threats against the Viceroy and his army, fled from a few lively Old Irelanders, hid themselves in a pantry, threw their pikes into the housemaid's closet, and dropped the vitriol pot into a dust hole. The blood that flowed was Mr. Smith O'Brien'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 t rans it g l or i a mundi. S o en d s rep eal. Of all the revolutions and catastrophes w e have lately witnessed, the catastrophe of humbug is the most complete. It leaves nothing be hind. It is really too flatulent, too empty, too rotten. The Chartists ought for the credit of England to have done something to justify the preparations ma d e aga i nst them, cowardice. m. Af ter stunning us with bombast, t h ey b eat us ait The citizens of London have been obliged to defend, not their lives, but their reputation fur sense, endangered by taking the Chartists too much at their word. The Irish branch of the Confederation has irhdone even worse than the heroes of Kennington -common_ ey will kill Lord Clarendon, not with pikes or bul ets, or broken glass, or vitriol, or sulphuric acid, but with the ridicule of their own impudent hoax. Why these fellow s , so far from bein Ireland g prep a r e d to s li p all aga i nst th© " butcher- his myri- dons," d are not, show their own general faces in n the streets m to their own fellow Repealers, except under an escort of "peelers," under Lord Clarendon's orders, and paid by the British Exchequer. Th e y c h arged his Excellency with endeavouring to prov o k e a collision, that his soldier s and police might have a pretence for inter tering and slaying the physical force leade r ' s . Th ey have themselves provoked the collision, and th soliers and polic e have interfered, not, however, to e 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 mural force rivals. It was quite evident that whatever the 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 mouthing and bragging, blarney and bombast, and was, in tact, 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 soirée. They drew there knives and out 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 lestoona hung o'er the tented field. Hideous drill ! Sanguinary armament ! We do not wonder to hear that Limerick, the scene of this tea-kettle emeute, is to be proclaimed. Such was the fearful audacity of the physical force .demonatration. On the other hand the advocatea 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.'Mitehell in flames, which they brought so "convenient" to the fortress of the physical force tea-drinkers, that it was soon in flurries also, and the desperadoes threw down their un finished bread and butter and fled for their lives. The unfortunate hotel keeper received a moral argument in tended for Mr. Meagher's head, and is ready to acknow ledge its force. It weighed several pounds. Moral force prevailed. Its reasons were too solid, its considerations too weighty, i ts e l oquence too burning of ato be withstood. Physical f orce ac k nowledged the superiorityits. d o w s , an tagonist, got i nto the Cork coach, drew up the i w had th e h otel gates suddenly thrown back, ad fled out of Limerick as f ast as f our hors e s cou ld carry it. ho d to find fled two o f t h e chiefs, doubtless no little.r. n e o he e. ve themselv es to l era bl y sound in w i n d an d n bone.

It is, however, never. too late to be wise.

But among deergPZrttarne in i ts us, upon this side of the Channel, his renown had undergone no vi s e,. 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 poet'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, had 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 so 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 Lamartine. It is in vain that we look for the name of Alphonse Thiers in the returns. Greater as a writer, thinker, speaker, economist, financier, politician, than the greatest of those who now predominate and rule, he has been rejected by his fellow• citizens, after a career which for eighteen years had been the cynosure of their regards and the type of their future destinies. No man doubted that, under the coming regency, he was to personate Prime Minister. lie made (it was nut too much to say) the Revolution, which Frauken stein-like, has destroyed him ; and the catas trophe of so great a fortune has given one more 'iustration to the melancholy truth of sic vos non It is true that M.

The reason of his postponement to men, so much his inferiors, is plain enough, and tug gestive of painful reflections.
