" Sir,—lt Is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted With Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced eae to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since Which I have bad no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity r aay know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTII."

'V AN OLD CHEST OF DRAWERS. Hail, ancient Chest I I never look at thee, _ Ent various musings occupy my noddle ; For thy respected form was known to me, Before myinfant pegs had learned to toddle. MY' daddy owned thee, and I think, the rather, Thou once belongedst to my father's father. Think not, old chest, that thou shalt e'er be sold, Or chopped and changed away in foolish barter; To part with furniture so good—so o'd, Would make me sorry both before and after ; Long in the family halt thou been of value. And never h Ist thou once changed hands, nor shall you. When but a little fellow, newly breeched, I own e d a part of thee to hold my raiment ; Dress badly cut, and very badly s itched, And badly purchased for a heavy payment. Oh, when I think upon the times departed, How glad I feel that Moses ever started. What different garments doet thou now contain? Thy drawers are now enriched by Messrs. Moses, Who prove that competitioni, in vain, In spite of what it vauntingly proposes. All thou containest—Trowsers, Coats, etcetera, Proves Moses' clothing infinitely betteter. LIST OF PRICES.

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL.---" Valerie" is the title of the new work of that popular writer Captain Marry at, in which ho appears to have broken new ground. As.if aware that ha had done enough in Tales of the Sea, and had exhausted th e i n t erest f or hi s Peter Simpl es , Frank Mildmays, and the rest of his naval heroes, he has here confined his imagination to the land, and exerted all his well-known talent in giving attraction to the story of a heroine. " Valerie" has been pronounced by the best judges one of the most pleasing of his works. It is a domestic story of our own times, remarkable for its truth and simplicity, assuming (like " Jane Eyre") to be the autobiography of a young girl of good family, who goes through many singular adventures both in England and France.

They are extremely barren of news, and, consequently, supply us with very meagre in formation. After a careful perusal, we find that matters remain much in the same unsatisfactory state as when the last packet sailed for England, business of every kind being almost at a standstill. The packet which arrived out in the middle of April conveyed news of an improvement in the prices of sugars, in consequence of the shortness of the crops in the West Indies, &c., which has had a somewhat cheering effect upon the planters; but still it appears, from every day's observation and experience, the crops in Jamaica, are so latnentably deficient, that the loss in this respect will be more than commensurate to such a slight advantage in rise. Major-General Banbury, who had been confined to his house ever since his arrival in the island, by severe in disposition, had so far recovered his usual health as to assume the active duties of his command. Two Spaniards had been condemned to death for the murder of R!chard Longsworth, on the high ses, off the coast of British Honduras, in 0. - :tober last, by shoot ing him. Trey prayed the trial to:be postponed. as they could prove their innocence it witnesses were brought from Honduras; but, as his Excellency stated that he had no means of bringing up those witnesses at the pub lic expense, the trial proceeded, and bath the unfortu nate, friendless aliens were co, demned. amidst the sym pathy of a vary crowded court. 'lhe afAir has produced much sensation in the island. The weather was exceedingly hot, and rain was much wanted. Thu late public meeting at Falmouth to adopt a peti tion to the Quern, in favour of a reform in the Coun cil of Jamaica, was to be followed up by another at Lucia. His Excellency the Governor had issucd his procla mation further proroguing the meeting of the house of Assembly to th© sth of June. HAYTI. Advises had been received at Jamaica from Hayti to the 22d of April. The capture of Azua by President Soulouque is announced in a bulletin, dated April 8. The loss of the insurgents was, it appears by the Presi dent's order of the day, stated to be thirty-two dead and seventy-two wounded. On the Government side, only four dead and twenty-six wounded. It was asserted that General Maximilian, who had been denounced, but had not succeeded in secreting himself since the last outbreak, had been captured at Port-au-Prince, ris guis:d as a woman. It was reported he was aiming at the Presidency. All parties, however, hold him in detestation at Port •au-Prince, and it was expected that on the return of Soulouque from Az.ia he would be shot. Business of all kinds is represented as being in a miserable state. The dollar (llaytian) was worth but 4id. sterling. Not a piece of any kind of spotic was to be got—nothing but paper, of which the Government was issuing large quantities daily. The Government had given notice that flour and pork should be sold at certain prices, and any one selling above such price would have his goods seised. Men of business, there fore, hardly know what to do. There were not a hun dred barrels of flour in the market, and owing to the restrictions oncommerce it was doubtful when that supply would be increased. A French sloop of war was stationed at Port-au-Prince ; but there was no English vessel in the port. CHAGRES AND PANAMA. The Trent brings news from the above places; from the former to the 2.5.11 of April, and the latter to the 22J. The arrivals of emigrants en route to California were on the increase, and consisted of adventurers of all classes. The means of transit were exceedingly scarce, and consequently the charge for a passages to San Fran cisco exorbitantly high, as much as 250 dollars demanded, and, in short, insisted on for a cabin passage. For second berths the rate was almost as high. People ars readily found to give these sums, so ettger are they to get from such a scen e of m i ser y as now ex ist s at Panama, and also equally anxious to reach their destination. Robbery, and even attempts at murder, were rife at Panama. Many of the uti!ortunate emigrants had been robbed to a serious amount, and some of them left pen niless, and without the means of proceeding on their journey. The British brig the Two Friends which arrived at Panama early in April, consigned to a respectable met , ch int, was immediately chartered for the high price of 35,000 dollars to proceed to San Francisco. Such was the uncertainty and anxiety amongst the emigrants that the contracting parties were enabled to fill her up at the exorbitant rate of 250 dollars for a steerage and 350 for a cabin passage! The whole of the passage tickets (100) were taken after the books were opened. The British steamer Peru, which arrived at Panamif, as the latter end of March, brought 700,000 dollars in bullion, about one-half of which was in Californian gold. The whole was sent dow n t o Ch agres f or England. The Peruvian . Government h a d sent a war steamer to the coast of California for the protection of its subjects who have gone to the gold diggings. From Gorgona to Panama numerous thefts and rob beries of trunks, baggage, money, goods, &0., had taken place—committed, it is supposed, by scoundrels from the States. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the De Cordova's Jamaica Intelligencer.) GENERAL REMARKS. The trade of the past fortnight has been exceedingly dull. Every branch of business appears to be immode rately depressed; a sad condition of things, which is to be attributed only to the state of poverty into which the great mass of the people has been plunged by the con siderable number of estates thrown up awl remaining idle. This must continuo and increase until England, returning to a sense of humanity and justice to the slave, sliall cease to afford a market to slave-grown sugar to the ruin of her own colonies.

REPORTED MARRIAGE OF THE COUNT DE AIONTEM OLIN. (From the Times,) With respect to this myskriotis 'matrimonial affiance, and the negotiations said to have been connected with it, touching the succession to the Spanish Throne, we have received the following letters from the Marquis de Vll lafranca. We may als ) add, that we have been autho rised by the young lady's family to state that there is no truth in the report that the Count de Montemolin is about to form a matrimonial alliance with Miss de Horsey, the only daughter of Mr. Spencer de Horsey : " TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE TIMES. " Monsieur,—Daßs votre journal du 30 Mai dernier, vous avtz insete nu article sur un pretendu marriage de Monsieur le Comte de Montemolin, ainsi quo sur de ne gociations entemees avec le Gouvernement de Madrid.

The gallant de ce ased was one of the oldest officers in the army, having entered , th e serv i ce as tar back as June, 1772, and, for the first forty years of his military career, seen much aeye servic e , li e was appointed Lieutenant, July 7, 17 9 ; Captain, Dec. 1, 1782 ; ttijor, March 1, 1794; Lieutenant-Colon e l, J an , 1, 1708; Colonel, June 2S, 1S 05 ; Major-General, June 4, 1811; Lieutenant-General, August 12, 1819; and Go , itTal, Jan. 10, 1837. ANNOUNCEMENTS.—There is no founda tiou for thu statement in a miming paper of Saturday, that the Great Seal is about to be put in commission.

We have much pleasure in announcing that, in reward for the recent crowing victory of Goejerat, L or d Gough will receive a step in the peerage, and w ill b e immediately created a Viscount of the United Kingdom, in addition to the honours and rewards so worthily bestowed upou him by the Queen and Parliament for his former distinguished services and successes. The Rev.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal.) Here she comes a ith broidered kirtle, here she is—the Lady June, Singing, like a ballad minstrel, many a gay and laughing tune. Let us see what she is drest in—let us learn the " mode she brings— For maiden never looked so lovely, though she wear but simple things. See her robe is richly woven of the greenest forest leaves, With full bows of honeysuckle looping up the flowing sleeves. See the fragrant marsh-flag plaited, forms her yellow tasselled sash, With the diamond studs upon it, flung there by the river splash. See her flounces—widely swelling, as the Zephyr's wings go past, Made of roses, with the woodbine's perfumed thread to stitch them fast. See the foxglove's bell of crimson, and the poppy's scarlet bud, 'Mid her tresses, bright and vivid as the sunset's ruby scud. See the fresh and luscious bouquet that she scatters in her way, It is nothing but a handful she has snatched of new mown hay. See, her garments have been fashioned by a free and • simple hand, But tell me, have you seen a lady look more beautiful and grand? Yon old man has quite forgotten what his errand was, I wi en, As he stares with listless pleasure on her garment-folds of green. Busy dealers pulse a moment in their hurry after gain, Thinking there is something joyous in her trolling carol strain. Youths and maidens track her closely, till their footsteps thely mingle, In the field and by the streamlet, up the hill and through the dingle. Children fondly gather round her, prying into leaf and blossom, Pilfering with tiny fingers, jewels from her very bosom. Here she comes with fairy footsteps, chaucting ever as she runs, Ditty words that soothe the mournful, and enchant the happy ones. Here she comes with broidered kirtle, and we'll list what Lady June May be telling out so sweetly, in that merry dancing tune. THE SONG OF JUNE. Oh, come with me, whoever ye be, Come from the palace, and come from the cot; The strong and the hale—the poor and the pale—. Ah, sad is the spirit that follows me not. Old December lighted his pyre, And beckoned ye in to the altar blaze; He hung up his mistletoe over the fire, And pressed soft lips upon Christmas-days. Ye welcomed him with his eyes so dim, But I know ye have more love for me, When I wander about, and whistle ye out With my blackbird pipers in every tree. Oh, come from the town, and let us go down To the rivulet's mossy and osiered brink; 'Ds pleasant to note the lily queen float, The gadfly skim and the dappled kine drink. Oh, let us away where the ring doves play, By the skirts of the wood in the peaceful shade; And there we can count the squirrels that mount, And the flocks that browse on the distant glade. And if we should stay till the farewell of day, Its parting shall be with such lingering smile, That the western light, as it greeteth the night, Will be caught by the eastern ray peeping the while. Little ones come with your chattering hum. And the bee and the bird will be jealous full soon; For no music is heard like the echoing word Of a child, as it treads 'mid the flowers of June. Ye who are born to be weary and worn With labour or sorrow, with passion or pain, Come out for an hour, there's balm in my bower, To lighten and burnish your tear rusted chain. Oh, come with me, wherever you be, And beauty and love on your spirits shall fall; The rich and the hale, the poor and the pale, Fur Lady June scatters her joys for all. ELIZA. CooK. LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS. On Monday 1-. st an excursion of the members of this highly respectable social body took place to Rye 11 use, Hoddes.lon, Hertfordshire, on which occai.ion between seven and eight hundred ladies anal gentlemen left the Short ditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway shor:ly after tea o'clock, and proceeded to the Eye House station, e hero they arrived at about half- past eleven. The Rye House is situated on the banks of the river Lea tilibin one hundred yards of the railway station near Hodiesden, and is famous in English history as having been the place where a pretended conspiracy was design , d, proposing to take the life of King Charles the Seconi. This OA was made the engine by the cor rupt Parliament of that period to effect the judicial murder of those martyrs for freedom and liLerty, Lord Russell and Algernon Sydney. The ruins of the Rye House are still in good preservation, as are also those ot Netherhall, a mansion or rather a lodge to a castle ot the time of Henry the Eighth. A shirt distance on the banks of the river Lea, is the interesting village of Am well, where aro the Shadwell Springs, the source of the New Rivet, with the urn and tomb of Sir flugh Middleton, that great benefactor who spent the whole of his fortune in bringing the New River water to London. After the company had alighted from the train and reached the Rye House, the rain pouring in torrents all the time (in fact a worse day has not occurred for some years past) they proceed ed to do justice to their appe tites, but were compelled in consequence of the bad weather to remain within doors instead of enjoying themselves in boating, angling, cricket, trap-ball, archery, &c., as they had done on a previous occasion. In the course of the afternoon a considerable portion of the party assembled in the long room, P.S.P. Robertson, presiding chairman, and supported among others by P.P. Burgess, P.S.P. Spearing, P.P. Jaques, P.S.l'. Watson, P.P. Hughes, P.S.P. Burns, P.P. Watson, P.S.P. Bull, P.P. Studd, P.P. Weatherly, P.P. Holder, P.S P. Wells, P.P. Woodman, P.P. Shiers, P.D. Dormer, P.D. Francis, D. Wilson, P. Perry, Treasurer Payne, and P.S.P. Price, treasurer of the relief fund. The chairman, in a few appropriate words, proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen, which was received with much applause. after which he gave the health of Treasurer Price, which was well received; then followed the health of the chairman; this toast was acknowledged by Mr. Robertson, in his usual spirited style. Secretary Crawley gave a brief statement of the receipts and expenditure of the " Friend in Need" fund, for the benefit of which the excursion took place. After a few more toasts had been given, and properly respinded to, P.P. Dean caused a large balloon (round which were the words "Thanks to all Friends") to as cend in the air. Several excellent songs were sung by Messrs. Townsend, Perkins, Murrell, and Smart, and although "the very unpropitious state of the weather, was calculated to dampen the spirits of the party, yet they maintained their tempers to the last, and every thing passed off extremely well. Much credit is due to Treasurer Price, P. P. Watson (No. 5), P. P. Weatherly, and P. P. Jaques, for their unremitting attention to the comforts of the company, and the assiduous attention of Mr. Chairman Robertson was beyond all praise. The company left the spacious and beautiful gardens shortly after eight o'clock, and arrived in town between nine and ten, the rain coming down much faster than it did in the morning; had it been a fine day, more than 1,000 persons were expected on the excursion. DEATH OF MADAME DORYAL.—One of the brightest luminaries of the French dramatic world is extinguished. Madame Dorval died a few days ago at the age of 51. Satisfactorily to describe an actress to those who have not witnessed her performance is a task difficult of accomplishment; and, unfortunately for the English public, Madame Dorval never visited London professionally. Of the general character, however, of her genius, it may be said to have been Siddonian; and, had she been an English woman, she would unquestion ably have been a great Sbaksperian actress.

TuE IRON TRADE—BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.-- The reducticrn of 11. per ton in the price of iron has been generally adopted, and it it now appears that many of the masters never sold at the advanced rate resolved upon ut the January quarterly meeting.. Some extensive o p dealers a re of pin ion that it will be difficult to maintain even the present price, and that a further reduction may be expected at or before next quarter day. The work people have, in most instances, with good humour ac cepted the reduced rate of wages. The cost of the hall and offices at the Euston Station of the London and North-Western is understated at 125,000/., the intereA of which, at five per c en t., i s 6,2501. per annual. The company must. therefore, earn more than 17 1 . per da y for ever y da y in the year, includ ing Sundays , s i mp l y for the use of these new buildings, exchwive of the cost of repairs. —Builder, THURSDAY.

Thu rail ways offer great facilities for the journey to and from the Heath; in addiion to the uld route, tea Slough, a new one is provided by the South-Western Company, which promises to be very extensively patronised; trains wi!l be started in quick succession from the Waterloo bridge Station to S:11111CS and Da•chet, thc. , distaz:ce from each to the course being about seven miler, the road from the former, we should say, the best for travelling; convey ances in abundance will be provided at both stations to convey passengers to and from the course; the return trains will be regulated by the time at which the races terminate.

Stn,—The Derby of 1849 %ill long be remembered by every member of that "community, republic, or club," yclept "The Ring," as one of the worst for them on record, they are losers to a man, all are hit, and many very hard too, the aristocracy, and the public being the winners ; to add to their discomfiture a Mr. W., and two or three others are missing for a trifle of some 12,000/ which is not like to be forthcoming ; thus ends " The Flying Dutchman drama," in which some 300,000 persons of all classes have played a part. My judgment was tolerably correct on the Derby, the couple I selected nearly a year ago, running in first and third, thus mak ing me for the fifth time successively correct on the first race in the universe; I am inclined to believe that bad the course been in first rate condition my prediction would have been verified to the letter, i. e., that Tadmor and The Flyer would have been first and second, and nothing else near; the half-bred Hotspur is a very good second-rate horse, but, as his future running will prove, is not within pounds of Tadmor. The Flyer, Honeycomb, and Uriel ran respectably, and will figure rather prominently in the St. Leger bet ting before long.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA. ATTACK BY SAVAGES ON THE GOVERNOR, COMMANDER FITZGERALD, RN. We are indebted to a private correspondent for the following account of an attack on the Governor, Whilst on nit exploring expedition. The letter is dated " Yetth, South Australia, Janun- j , 1649. " We were on au exploring tarty '2OO miles north of this, when an attack was ini!& upon cur small r i !arty by between CO and 70 natives, we being enly seven four of us on ponies anal three soldiers on foot. They epite surr,undrd us, evidently-inteut upon dii,rtning us, and leaving none to tell the story. They lai.l hold of the private secretary in the first instance, and o' one of the soldirrs. At Ibis momen t ours was a pqiulid situation. The s,cretary, whi!st t eing forcibly 1141, called cut to Captain Fitzgerald, the gor. rnor, It is tim , . Sir, that something was done.' The soldiers, also, asked if they were not to fire, before being disarmed and murdered. Up to this mom( nt no attack was made forthcr than holding the secrettny, who, with pistol in his hand, could have shot the man, hut prudently forbore doing so, and it was not until after a shear had been thrown tit the secretary, that the order was given to fire, when one of the ringleaders was shut. This made the party retreat a few yards. which enabled us to get out of the thicket we were in to . open ground, and where we got t ur ammunition out of the packs, and had just time to reload when a volley of p. ars came amongst us, one of which narrowly ! missed passing through the Governor's back, but lodged in his t high just above the knee. I never saw more dettrmt tuition than on the part of these savages, for although we had reason to think that three of them were shot they followed us more than twenty miles to Champion Bay, where our colonial vessel waited us. Here the Governor had a second narrow escape from an instru ment called a kyley, hurled at his head, which only stru:k his ear. The object in following us so far no doubt was their thinking we must pitch our tents some where in the night, when they could have speared us to death without our seeing where they were; us it was our escape was miraculous. Two days after this one of the natives of the north came into Perth, and said the natives that attacked us were cannibals, and wanted one of us to cat, MAIL COMMUNICATION DR.TWEEN ENGLAND ANIL DUBLIN.—It is understood that the following is the in tended change to take place in the dispatch of the mail from Dublin after the 20th inst., consequent cn the doing away with the contract mail packets to Liverpool from Kingstown:—The mail to leave the General Post /ace at ten minutes to six o'clock P.M.
