"SIB, —having suffered meet dreadfully for the last six years front repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit front the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic fills. Whea 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 ♦ery much improved my general kealth I have since recommended them to fiur individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all 'peak 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, 3 ou 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.

A K K 1 A cx E. ,Lift One half the world are desolately single, and the other ,upposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a .onse et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em •:!ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en •oruprosiag hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness And social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set- Cement.

" Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy—rich, not gaudy ; For the aparel oft proclaims the man." THE spirit and meaning of the above quotation may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented Paletot or outer coat, adapted for a variable climate, by means of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby it can be converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im proved, and he possesses a most gentlemanly and graceful gar ment for either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most com foitat,le reading or dressing Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from one and a half to three and a half guineas, but can be had in London only of the Patentees,.

Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstose, of the Herbary, Iligh gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s 6egenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an l I s. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a care of nervous headache ;as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing tke hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to tho toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on' the erown of the herd; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. It ased on intents' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.---See Pamphlet of testimonials.

She brought news from Buenos Ayres to the 28th, and Monte Video th e 2 3 d , December. At Monte Video nothing particular had occurred. The Government had contracted with one of the most respectable houses in the city to furnish the troopi with provisions for the term of six months, com mencing Ist January. By a decree, published 22d De cember, the duty on flour was to be continued three months longer. From Buenos Ayres we learn that the Government will have expended the sum of 2400,000 dolls. (paper) in the months of November and December, for the muni tions of war, part of which was to be sent to the Entre Rios and Corrientes. Mr. Southeron's case remains as before. Rosas refuses to receive him officially, and it is generally understood that he win continue to do so until he is authorised to accede to the demands of Rosas, which are said to be the restoration of the Falkland Islands to the Argentine Republic, and remuneretion for the guano brought by English ships from Patagonia, as well as the damages caused by the British fleet in the Parana. THE ARMY. PLYMOUTH. Psi. 24. —About eighty men belonging to the 28th Regiment, now stationed at the Citadel here, are to be discharged in a few days.

We understand most, if not all, the men will have some money on their discharge. Colonel Oldfield is on the eve of departure to Gibral tar ; who is to be his successor here is not yet known. A compliment in garrison orders has been paid to Lieut.-Colonel Waring, of the Royal Marines, for the services rendered by the several detachments of corps under his immediate command, as field-officer of the day, at the late fire on 'Messrs.

WALSH.— The remains of the late Dr. Walsh, Vicar Apostolic of the London District, will be interred to-morrow (Wed nesday) at St. Mary's, Moorfields. The ceremonies will be performed with great solemnity, and will occupy several hours. Dr. Wiseman will officiate, assisted by the other bishops of the Roman Catholic Church. MR. Dyes SOMBRE.—A 9 some misconception exists in reference to the recent medical inquiry into the capa city of this gentleman to manage himself and his pro perty, it is right that the public should be informed that in the first instance Mr. Dyce Sombre placed himself in communication with Dr. Seymour, Dr. Winslow, and Mr. Lawrence, the eminent surgeon of Bethlehem Hoe. pital, requesting those gentlemen to form themselves into a committee of inquiry relative to his state of mind. After consulting on the subject the medical gentlemen in question respectfully declined entertaining the question without obtaining the authority of the Court of Chancery for the investigation. Mr. Dyce sombre was declared to be a lunatic by a commission, and was then under the jurisdiction of the Lord Chancellor. Subsequently Mr. Dyce Sombre applied to Dr. Paris and others, and ob tained the affidavits which form the basis of the motion now before the Court of Chancery. THE ROBBERY AT ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. — On Wednesday last, while the directors of the poor were assembled in the new vestry-rooms, it was announced that the three deposit checks of the London and West minster Bank for 3,0001.. which had been taken out of the cash. box broken open on the night of the robbery, had just been found. The person who discovered them stated that they were lying quite open on the floor of the strong room whence the money had been taken. He was exceedingly particular in Catlin his (the chair. man's) attention to some holes in the checks, which be stated had' the - aptieitralice of having 'bee]; either filed several times or perforated by nailed shoes. The chair man observed, that it was quite impossible they 'could have been left on the floor of the strong room, as it was searched at the time of the robbery by the detective police and by the members of the board of directors at least 20 times since. The case remains in a good deal of mystery, but certain circumstances have come to the knowlenge of the authorities which, according to appear ances, it is said will involve mor e t h an one i n dividual in the alleged crime.

Mr. Charles Kean appeared last evening in the cha racter of lago, the first time he has appeared in that character in London since the memorable evening when the Keans—father and son—appeared together for the first and only time. The character of lago is perhaps the most difficult to delineate in the whole course of the drama, because it is pre eminently a character of intel lect, refined by malice, but unalloyed by violent passion. I igo is as nearly a complete incarnation of the evil principle as it is possible to imagine. As it is a character of pure intellect, none but a person of the very highest intellectual powers can adequately represent it; and the perfection of the representation will be in exact proportion to the amount of intellectual power, and to the extent of intellectual cultivation of the representative. Hence it is that the lago of Mr. Charles Kean is so infinitely superior to that of any of his contemporaries; he enters into the very inmost re cesses of the character, and pourtrays faithfully the very lago that Shakspere imagined. There is an appearance of reckless bonhommie about the lago of Mr. Charism Kean in the scenes with Cassio, and an appearance of blunt honesty in those with Othello, which is the very perfection of hypocrisy; and in his closing scene wh er his true character is discovered he looked as though he were the very spirit of evil himself. Mrs, Charles Kean sustained the character of Emilia, and it is much to be desired that ladies of Mrs. C. Kean's talent and genius would more frequently condescend to appear in Shak sperian characters of this calibre, in order to let the world see of what Shakspere is capable. The great ness of Shakspere is not yet half appreciated, and will not be until we have a few more such accomplished artistes as Mrs. Charles Kean to interpret even his ap parently minor characters. Miss Laura Addison acted Desdemona with infinite grace and feeling, and the audience were enthusiastic in their applause. Mr. James Wallack acted Othello with his usual taste and judg ment. The house %%as crowded. (From the Chronicle) The series of Windsor Entertainments-" having been brought to a close, a new attraction was afforded' at this theatre last night, by the production of Othello, with a cast which served to develope the present strength of the establishment, and which, as, regarded tho juxtaposition of the performers, at least,, was-also new. We have before had occasion to observe that Mr. and Mrs. Kean have shown a laudable desire to abandon some of the inconvenient habits of modern actors, and to perform characters in which they can please the public, or add to the strength of a cast, regardless of that very natural jealousy in artists which seeks to monopo lise the leading parts only, and to condemn all others as beneath their professional rank. That the performer makes the character has seldom been more signally proved than by Mrs. Kean is her rendering of Emilia. It is not too much to say that it was an original conception— at least by comparison with living artists, and our tra ditions of others—and it certainly approached more nearly to the palpable design of Shakspere in creating the character than that of any actress we have seen. The Emilia of Mrs. Kean is a gentlewoman, as the wife of a man in lago's position, and the chosen companion of Desdemona, must be supposed to be. In dress, in man ner, and bearing, this characteristic is never lost sight of throughout Mrs. Kean's performance. She is spirited, uncontrollable in the assertion of the rights of her sex, violent even in her denunciation of the villany of her husband, and the short-sighted precipitancy of Othello; but in the most telling parts of her performance she never oversteps that dignity and modesty of car riage and conduct which become the lady of an officer and the friend of his general's wife. From first to last Mrs. Kean's performance last night was full of fine, natural, and artistic touches; and she met her reward in the ready applause and sympathy of the audience. To Mr. Kean's lago must also be accorded the merit of originality of conception. It is in character depending more on the mental grasp than the mere physical development that this gentleman excels. It is comparatively easy to play a conventional Hamlet, or a conventional Iago; Mr. Kean's merit in each character is that he strikes out a path of his own. To speak more correctly, he avoids the beaten track of stage tradition, and seeks that marked out by the author. The merit of Mr. Kean's lago lies in its being neither conventional nor over-acted. In the earlier scenes there is a geniality and a bonhommie necessary as a foundation for the confi dence he inspires, in all but his wife, who alone sees him from time to time as he really is. In the first soliloquy he gives the cue to the audience, but without all that by play of transparent villany which in most actors of lago renders Othello'a weakness unaccountable, and by so much destroys the interest of the piece. In the scenes in which the Moor is gradually impreg nated with the poison which is to be his ruin Mr. Kean maintained the same abstinence from mere stage effect, and the action of the piece was thereby ren dered natural. The quiet, cool, hypocritical indifference of the latter scenes was also admirably given, only at intervals the mocking devil being apparent in an occa sional flash or glance of the eye, or curl of the lip, as silently he gloats over his victim. The final expression of intense hatred and gratified revenge as he quits the stage was given by Mr. Lean with concentrated power. Miss Laura Addison was the Desdemona. Her concep tion, as is usual with her, was excellent. If this young lady would trust more to her own impulses she would produce a more powerful impression, and her natural taste would prove a safe guide. As it is, she fails in the attempt at artistic elaboration. Above all, she should strive to conquer bar habit of delivery—a drawling monotony, and an artificial in inflection of the voice. Whenever she allows herself to be carried away by her feelings she produces a powerful impression. This was the case in her Juliet; and her sudden burst of energy when protesting her innocence to Othello, in the fourth act, was electrical in its influence on the audience. Of the Othello of Mr. Wallack we need say no more than that it was a very respectable performance, exhibiting much taste and feeling. Mr. Creswick, as Cassio, quite sustained the average merit of the performances. The principal performers were called before the curtain—Mr. and Mrs. Kean especially being greeted with enthusiastic applause. The house was crowded. It may not be generally known that Mr. Charles Kean's first performance of lago was on the oc casion of the last appearance of his father as Othello, when the father and son played together. Mr. Charles Kean has not, we believe, since repeated the character of lago in London, until last evening. (From the Times.) On the occasion of Mr. Ransford's benefit last night, the tragedy of Othello was performed with a remarkable cast, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean taking the two cha racters which are usually deemed secondary to those of the Moor and Desdemona. Both the lago of Mr. Kean and the Emilia of Mrs. Kean have peculiarities which distinguish them from the versions of any other per formers. It is common for lago to obtrude his villany so conspicuously thaktie Moor, without being very acute, would naturally see, through the artifice; at . once. Mr. Kean lays more emphasis on the dissimulation of the man, and does not seek to keep his villanous intention constantly in sight. There is less of the fiend than is usually exhibited, but more of the "honest lago," who might easily be made a confidant. This appearance is skilfully and sedulously maintained till towards the end of the piece, and it is not until his villany is un mas k e d t h at t h e full malignity of Ingo is brought into his countenance. Emilia is usually represented as a. virago, a character in which an actress may put forth all her loudness, certain that the loudness will fall on popular passages—for it is the great luck of Emilia that her's is a popular part. The version of Mrs. Charles Kean may be expressed in a sentence—she made Emilia a woman less of violent dis plays, than of deep convictions. lago and Othello were not rated half so furiously as usual, but you felt that every speech was utt e r e d i n earnes t ; an d E m ili a , by being more than commonly feminine, gained addi tional interest, even though she sacrificed a few of the old clap-traps. The Othello of Mr. Wallack is a clever conventional performance, with a tendency to over zes ticulation, but with a genuine burst of passion here and there, which deserved the applause it obtained. Miss Laura Addison, as Desdemona, showed a great deal of feeling and intelligence, evidently entering in the sim plicity and trusting nature of the part, but failing to do justice to her own conceptions, through the want of flu ency in her declamation. The sudden and earnest asseveration of her innocence in the fourth act was one of those decided "points" that startle a whole audience into applause. The fopperies of Roderigo were rendered more than usually substantial by Mr. Wigan heightening the indignant side of the character. The principal actors were called before the curtain by an audience crammed to the utmost possible density. [PRICE SD. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

It appeared that when it turned out that this undertaking could not be carried out, the plaintiff's claim amounted to upwards of 3,3511., and an action was commenced by him against the two de fendants in the present action, as well as Alderman Hughes and Dr. Allnut, to recover the amount.

With his ordinary predilection for dramatizing the topics of the day, Mr. Stirling Coyne has pounced upon the Californian mania as a subject for a short farce. A Cockney tradesman, with his wife, " hobledehoy" son, end baby, and the captain of a Gravesend steamer, are the seekers for gold whom the author presents to public notice, a little plot being formed of the supposed death of the husband, which nearly brings about a courtship between the wife and the captain. The inconveniences and " short commons" of California are comically enough brought together in this little drama, which is excellently supported by Mr. Munyard, Mrs. F. Mat thews, and Mr. Paul Bedford. A monkey who appears as one of the nuisances of the territory affords an oppor tunity for Mr. Mitchenson's clever pantomimic acting. Cockneys in California, as this little piece is called, is perfectly successful. MAItYLEBONE THEATRE. Mr. Watts, the lessee of this elegant little theatre, has co . metorv!ard as an author, and by blending the notions .t Victor:lie and The Bottle, has produced a drama is three acts, with a strong " temperance" moral. The subject is the reformation of a drunkard by a dream, which exhibits a series of crimes terminating in the gallows. The principal characters, consisting of the drunkard and his devoted wife, are played with great melodramatic effect by Mr. Davenport and Miss Fanny Vining. The scenes, one of which combines four in one, on the Jonathan Bradford principle, are highly credita ble, some of the effects display ing great ingenuity. The piece concluded with a" moral" in verse, spoken by . Miss Vining amid thunders of applause. The comedy of Man and Wife, reduced into three acts, has b een revived with great success, to exhibit Mrs. Mowatt in the comic line. The house last night was crowded.
