BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, In the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS s towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many Mends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. _ . _ "To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." _ For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAItt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and tar ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London; and all respectable Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

I HE UNIVERSALLY APPROVED ATTIRE JL —Taking into account the infinite diversity of tastes, pursuits, occupations, and stations in society, the establishment which pro- vides tke universally approved attire must possess very extraordi nary resources. The gigantic arrangements made by E. MOSES and SON for the present season are equal to every demand, and the vast stock of the newest materials associated with the most talented workmanship will continue the celebrity so long enjoyed by E. MO 'ES and SON. The Sporting Dress manufactured by E. MOSES and ,;ON is universally approved for Fashion, Comfort, and Economy. Their Winter Clothing and Overcoats are universally approved for Nov. lty, Style, and general superiority. The Youths' and Children's attire made by E. MOSES and SON is universally approved, for it is the neatest, most substantial, and the cheapest. The otticial Costumes made by E. MOSES and SON are approved for perfect uniformity agreeable to prevailing regulations, inimitable finish, and economical charges The Slats, Caps, and Hosiery Goods offered by E. MOSES and SON are the most highly finished articles which can be procured. _ . The foots and ShOe; manufactured by E. AIOSES and SON are universaly admitted to be superior to and far cheaper than any ob tained el•.4?.whera. The clothing and Outfits for the Colonies prepircd by E. MOSES and SON are approved by all Shippers and Emigrants, in conse quence of their being perfectly suited to the present wants of the colonists, and are infinitely cheaper than at any other establish ment. Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, and ship-sailing information, may be had •n application or post free. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN 01,911 T OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 44, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Aqua se habla Espano THE COAL TR ADE.—A large fleet of Colliers, which have been detained by long-continued southerly winds, left the Tyne, Wear, Seaham, Hartlepool, and the Tees, on Saturday. Some people estimate the fleet at 900 sail. More than 300 vessels left the Tyne. They have a fine spanking westerly wind, and have the prospect of a quick passage. Freights are about 10s. 6d. per ton to London, and 161. a keel to Hamburg. This is a very busy and prosperous " fall" for the shipowners, and having got over the heavy averages caused by the severe losses of last winter, in some clubs amounting to 25 per cent. on their capital, they are in " high feather," and, except amongst a few rabid Protectionists, free trade is as popular in the coal-pits as in the Ex change at Manchester. Shipping is a very precarious investment ; but the very large capital put into vessels of heavy tonnage by north country owners during the past 18 months, shows that they have the utmost con fidence in its permanent prosperity. The Shields ship owners and their seamen seem to have got thoroughly embroiled with regard to " manning clauses," and other regulations put in force by the Seamen's Union. The owners are opening offices, and employing long-shore men to engage non-union seamen ; and they have an agent in Scotland to bring up Scotch sailors at 61. a month. The Tyne men are threatening to strike, which, if they do, will bring the owners to a "dead lock," as the north country seamen are in a union 10,000 strong, and the strike would be an infinite source of embarrass- SAVING LIFE AT SEA.—At a meeting of the com ment just now. mittee of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CONVlCT.—Between half-past Royal Benevolent Society, on Friday last, at their three and four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday last, a offices, Hibernia Chambers, London-bridge—present convict named John Quishley, while employ ed with the Lord Haddo, Captain Sweney, Hon. Captain Maude , other convicts of the gang to which he was attache d at Ca p tains Barlow, Smart, and Dixon, R.N., Lieut. Col the saw-mills at Woolwich Dockyard, would persist in quhoun, R.N., and Rev. C. B. Gribble—a letter was stepping on the smooth iron travelling carriage for con- read from Capt. W. W. Chambers, of her Majesty's ducting large pieces of timber when required to be cut steam-frigate Desperate, commending in the highest by a circular saw three feet in diameter, although he terms the daring conduct of Mr. John Ward, the boat was repeatedly cautioned against doing so, and told by swain of that ship, who, at the imminent risk of his life, the sawyers to go round and not over the moving car- jumped overboard, and successfully brought on board riage. The disobeyance of the orders given to the con- (though both were in a most exhausted state) a seaman vict ultimately cost him his life, as when walking on the who had been thrown into the sea by the topmast, top travelling carriage the iron tackets in his shoes caused sail-yard, topgallantrnast and yard going over the side him to slide when near the saw, while it was making 380 in heavy weather.

The United States' steamer Atlantic arrived at New York from this port on the 16th inst. There is very little general news by this arrival. Messrs. Dimond and Co., of Bristol, Rhode Island, sugar merchants, &c., had suspended pay ment. Their liabilities were said to be large. The rumours of failures among the dry goods jobbers were confirmed. The failure of Messrs. Winston and Seaman jobbers, Pine-street, had also been announced. The yellow fever was raging fearfully at various points on the Mississippi river and in the interior. The latest accounts from Washington state that the China mission had not been filled. A private meeting of some exiles of different countries is reported to have taken place at New York, by whose unanimous decision Major L.

A, meeting of the Tutors' Association was held in Oriel College Common Room on Friday evening, Oct. 28, at which the subject for the limitation of fellowships to particular localities was discussed. Several members of the association were in favour of the entire abolition of such restrictions and preferences, with the exception of those which have been made by founders in favour of Wales, and, perhaps, of some other districts to which such advantages are particularly important. Others were of opinion that the election of competent men might be secured without so far departing from the in tentions of founders, if Colleges were to interpret the of n 0 and fit conditions of fit ne ss accor di ng t o a sufficiently high standard, district, th ey were authorised in such case to elect from other loc a lit ies . twheree appearing e ariprovisionng from i s the made prescribed for th e case On the one side, it was argued that population had become so shifting that tho se b orn i n a l oca lit y no l onger represent its settled inhabitants, and that the preference o e ether side, primary importance. it considered imp w or a t s anc a eAnd w bne it e h fit t y e h v e e c ii a's remembrancee t , he b s u e t c o a n c, a s r e c oyf o ot n hb d je a e r pc y tasso b j fa e nf c od t utnod a with t i retain,the founder. auPpossible, well desesei iprnb a . useal:t On hose nth re spect to the practice of colleges, at least under the present law, it was remarked that they had not the founder's claim to consider, but, likewise , the positive right belonging to those wh o a t present claimed under his will.

Halifax papers of the 12th instant state that the steamer Vulcan had arrived there on the 9th, with 350 troops. A part of the troops were intended for Bermuda, but, as the yellow fever was still raging there, they were brought to Halifax. Letters from Santa Fe announce that an ex ploring party, under the command of Mr. F. X. Aubrey and party, reached there on the 14th ult. He crossed the Sierra Nevada at Tegon Pass on the 12th of July. He found gold at the crossing of the Colorado, and other places, and silver and copper ore in great abundance. The Indians were very numerous and hostile, and had fought their party for 30 days, wounding nearly all of them. In the New York _Herald, it is stated that Aubrey and party met a tribe of Indians 200 miles west of Senne, who used gold bullets for their guns. There had been a marked improvement in the New York stock-market. Erie Railroad shares opened at 874 an advance of 11 per cent. on pre vious sales. Hudson River Railroad advanced 1/ ; Cumberland Coal Company, 1 ; Stonington Rail road, 1 ; New York Central, 1. Reading Rail road advanced from 73 to 76. Broadway Bank sold at 116 ' • Bank of Commerce, 104 ; Bank State New York, 108; American Exchange Bank, 118 i ; Metropolitan Bank, 102. Some of these pay 10 per cent. dividend annually, and they are all equal to at least a 9 per cent. stock. Their surplus funds are also known to be large ; the Broadway Bank showing 22 per cent., and the Band of the State 8i per cent. undividd profits. United States and State loans are firm, the purchases of the Govern ment absorbing all of the former that appear ; and of the latter the amount offered for sale con tinues very limited. The Secretary of the Trea sury has issued a note increasing the bids for the different loans to $7,000,000, in addition to the purchase made prior to the Bth inst. Several of the States are also, from time to time, purchasers of considerable amounts of their own debts, as in vestments of the sinking funds provided for their redemption. The scarcity of money is felt princi pally in the large commercial cities. In the inte rior the supply is ample, and the payments to the seaboard are made with great promptness and re gularity. The agricultural interests are very pros perous, and, while this is the case, there is no reason to apprehend any serious crisis in the busi ness of the country generally. The rate of dis count for first-class paper is 12 per cent. Loans on call on desirable securities can be obtained at 7 per cent. There is less firmness in the market for foreign exchanges. The demand is not large, while the supply of bills is rather increasing.

The cotton market, after receipt of the Atlantic's news from Liverpool, was much depressed, and prices declined fully 1 cent per pound. The light receipts at the ports and light exports, combined with the moderate views entertained as to the ex tent of the incoming crop, would, under other cir cumstances, have induced speculation at the highest currency of the season, but fear of a general war in Europe overrules all other considerations, leaving holders, in the absence of demand, the alternative only of forcing sales to make a market, or, as the majority are doing, of holding in hopes of receiving more satisfactory advices. The market was heavy and unsettled for both flour and wheat, at prices not materially different from those last quoted. The following were the quotations for flour and wheat :-Flour.---Sour, $6 to $6 25c. ; superfine, No. 2, $6 50c. to $6 62ic. ; ordinary to favourite State, $6 871 c. to $7 50c. ; common to good Ohio, $6 871 c. to $7 25c. ; fancy to extra Ohio and Genessee, $7 to $7 50c.: Canadian in bond, $7 to $7 121 c. ; Balti more mixed and Georgetown, $7 to $7 25c. ; fancy and extra ditto, $7 121 c. to $7 50e. ; Richmond City, Haxall, and Gallego, $9 75c. to $lO ; rye flour $4 50c. to $4 621 c. ; corn meal, $4 25c. to $4 50c.

The Lord Bishop of the diocese will hold a confirma tion at St. Thomas's Church, Oxford, on Tuesday next, being All Saints' Day. Morning service will begin at 11 o'clock. NOVA SCOTIA. The Rev. J. Stannage, who has been engaged for twenty years in missionary work in St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia, is at present in Oxford, collecting sub scriptions for aiding him in procuring the additional assistance of a fellow-labourer. On Thursday, the 28th instant, he addressed a parochial meeting in the school room of St. Mary Magdalen parish, in that city, on which occasion he gave an interesting account of his own experience among a people whom he found sunk in practical heathenism, and in the lowest stage of social discomfort, having been long without the ordinances of divine worship; although many of them are descendants of Protestants, who were driven from France at the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Mr. Stannage has succeeded in erecting three churches and seven school-rooms, and has four churches under his charge. He is most anxious to return to his poor people, who are all fishermen, many of whom, when he parted from them for awhile, procured R aggons and ac companied him and his family twelve miles through the woods ; they also paid his salary in advance. Mr. Stannage has, besides, three other stations to visit, at considerable distances from his parish. The meeting was also addressed by the Rev. J. Ley, the vicar of the parish, the Rev. W. D. Macray, curate, and the Rev. G. W. Kitchen, student and tutor of Christ Church. Mr. Stannage has been on a visit to the Bishop of the diocese. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, OCT. 29. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). JUDGMENT.-IN RE WESTBROOK.-IN RE KIRK.-THE ISLINGTON CATTLE-MARKET CASE. This case, which had been before the Court on several occasions, occupying a considerable period at each meeting, was on Saturday brought to a conclusion by the delivery, by his Honour, of an elaborate judg ment upon the many points in dispute, the main ones being as to whether there was a bona fide trading, and whether the adjudication was or was not a collusive one, obtained merely for the purpose of relieving Westbrook of liabilities amounting to about 36,0001. incurred by him as one of the directors of the Islington Cattle-mar ket, and not for the purpose of the distribution of assets amongst trade creditors, as required by the act of Par liament. It was sought to upset the adjudication in the case of Henry Kirk, also a director of the cattle market, upon grounds somewhat similar to those urged in Westbrook's case. The case appeared to excite con - siderable interest, and there was a large number of in terested parties present. His Honour, in giving judgment, said—Two petitions have been presented to this Court by a gentleman named Adams, a banker, at Ware, in Hertfordshir e , p ray i ng the Court to annul the adjudications: in bank rup t cy which had taken place against Richard Westbrook an d Henry o dispute the adjudications ; they were petitions add resse d e s ee exercisebe are before r e o n:t proceedingsm the e ; and original t is merelyr n isd c conferred upon it by the last act of P ar li ament. It happens that this is the first instance in w hi c h such an applicationtheCourtKirk. h in a s the T co h m carefully to examine the character of these proceedings, and what is found in the books re l a ti ng to such applica tions. After entering into the f ac t s o f the case t a length, and alluding to the law and precedents bea • ring upon it, his Honour said Under all the circumstances, I have brought my mind to a very clear in each of the two c ases a tradinghcaosnclusion, that estab lished sufficient to bring these parties . been ese parties within the opera tion of the bankrupt law, and as such, I shall dismiss the petition in ea c h case ; and I shall dismiss it with costs, to be paid by th e petitione• . t w r to the petitioning cre ditors in each case. The reason Idoso is this. If the petitioner had confined himself simply to the question of trading, I should have said that that was a question on which different views might be taken, and which might very properly be discussed and reasoned on in a court, and that there the rule of the unsuccessful paying the costs of the unsuccessful party ought not to apply. But I give costs in this case because this petition is stuffed with matter highly inculpating others, without a tittle of proof to sustain it ; and the petitioner, having done that, ends with praying that the other party may pay his costs. He says in effect, "I charge you with fraud and conspiracy of the grossest kind ; and though I have not a tittle of proof to sustain the charge, though it is all suspicion and implication, and I cannot bring myself to swear that I believe it, I will ask the court to grant whastsle want, and to make you pay the costs of my rcakicgoftbthis unfounded allegations." I think that petitions aid, kind ought to be discountenanced to the utmost;et will acting under that impression, the order of th the ___,, be, that these petitions be dismissed, and . that cr y rs "; be paid by the petitioner to the petitioning creditors each case. lient's intention to Mr. Cooke gave notice of his tcof costs should be appeal, and asked that the paymen stayed. to hear that the matter His Honour said he was glad tribunal. would be brought before anoth er dthat no order would be neces sary Bagley submitted the costs wouldabide o ne, as the sary beyond the usual result. gnees. lied for the costs of the assi Mr. Lucas app that the assignees His Honour, o bserving . had taken beyond • part in the discussion,simply no appearing by reserved the question. counsel, on behalf of Mr. Kirk, then A gentleman, . en applied for his discharge from prison, under the 1 12th secti • on Mr. Cooke opposed it, OR the ground that he * could not be re-taken in the event of the ad j udicationj not being sustained.

An adjudication in bankruptcy was this day made against Lionel Goldsmith, merchant, of No. 2, Queen street, Cheapside, described as the surviving partner of Samuel Goldsmith, late of the same place, deceased, and formerly trading with Samuel Goldsmith, under the firm RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULAR COMPANY. The following is the report of the directors of this company to be submitted to the eighth half-yearly gene ral meeting of shareholders, to be held this day !—. "It was announced, by anticipation, in the tub half yearly report, that the first portion of this company's railways—from Bombay to Tannah, 21 miles—would most likely be opened in the month of April. That was accomplished on the lith April, since which time two trains have been running daily with the greatest regularity. The latest despatches from India, at the time of writing this report, reach to the beginning of September, and as the periodical rains occupy most of the interval between April and September, no approxi mate test even of the traffic has consequently xet been made. But the directors are nevertheless satisfied, from the number of passengers conveyed along the railway during the monsoon, that the general result in passenger traffic will be greatly beyond their former calculation. Arrangem en t s had not been completed for the carriage of merchandise, but preparations were being made at the date of the last advices, and goods traffic will ere long be commenced. The native population have evinced the greatest alacrity in availing themselves of this new mode of locomotion, and all the risks and inconveniences foretold of introducing the railway system into India, are already satisfactorily proved to be groundless. "The works on the consecutive portions of the 'ex perimental' railway, from Tannah to Callian, and thence to Shawpoor, are proceeding to the satisfaction of the chief resident engineer and the committee of directors in Bombay. . " With regard to the extension lines into the interior of the country, the directors have to report that they have received the instructions of the Government of India to make new and more comprehensive surveys. Two extension lines are proposed to be surveyed, bifur eating at Callian—the one to proceed south-east to Poonah, and thence into the Sholapoor Cotton District, where it may unite with the main line from Madras, and so form a continuous railway between Bombay and Madras ; and the other to proceed north-east into the Kandeish and Berar cotton fields, and thence across tho Nerbudda Valley to Allahabad or Mirzapoor, to join the main li ne f rom C alcutta, and complete t h e communica tion between Bombay and Calcutta. The directors have just sent out a reinforcement of surveying engineers to hasten the completion of these extensive surveys, and no efforts will be spared to obtain the sanction of the Go vernment of India to those extension lines which present the most favourable and the best prospects of remunera tion. "In the meantime, the Government of India have authorised the construction of the initial portion of the South-east Extension line from Callian ; and the share holders will receive notice when the directors think the time has arrived for the commencement of the works on this section of the - • "Resolutions will be 'submitted to this meeting for the purpose of giving powers to the directors to complete the agreement with the Hon. East India Company for the extension lines, and to raise the necessary capital ; but the shareholders may rest assured that these powers will not be put into exercise until monetary affairs shall give confidence that the new issue of shares will be gene rally acceptable. "The creation of the second portion of experimental' capital, already authorised by the shareholders, must take place without delay. Circular letters will be for warded to all shareholders who may be upon the register of the Company, on the 19th of November next, placing at his or her option one new 51. share for every share then held by each registered shareholder, on payment of a deposit of 11. per share, payable on the 24th of Decem ber next. The interest guaranteed by the Hon. East India Company, upon the payments in respect to these shares, is at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, same as the existing capital of the company. Only so much of this capital will be called up as may be necessary for the ' experimental' lines. " - The statement of accounts, up to the termination of the half-year ending 30th June last, will be found ap pended to the report. This statement, together with the books of accounts, have been examined by the ac countants of the Hon. East India Company, in addition to a minute audit by the company's auditors. (Signed) "WM. J. HAMILTON, Dep. Chairman. " London, Oct. 21, 1853." OPENING- OF THE SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY. On Saturday, the latter portion of this railway (from Ludlow to Hereford, a distance of 23 miles) was opened by the directors, but the line will not be opened for traffic until some time towards the end of November. At half-past 11 in the morning a special train, consist ing of from 20 to 30 first class carriages, left the Shrews bury station with a large invited party ; and the train made short stoppages at Church-Stretton, Bromfield, Ludlow, and Leominster stations, at all of which places accessions were received to the party. The train, which was drawn by two powerful engines, arrived at Here ford at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock ; several hundreds of persons were assembled on the Widemarsh, where the train was stopped ; but it is somewhat remarkable that, though this is the first line of railway opened into Here ford, not a single cheer escaped the crowd by way of welcome to the visitors. At half-past 2 o'clock the excursionists and other guests sat down to an elegant luncheon at the Music-hall, provided by Mr. Smith, of the City Arms Hotel, at the expense of the directors. The guests numbered about 260 gentlemen and ladies, and comprised Mr. Wm. Ormsby Gore, M.P. (chairman of the company), who presided ; Mr. Brassey, the con tractor ; Mr. H. Robertson, the engineer ; Hon. H. H. Clive, M.P., deputy-chairman ; Sir R. Jenkins, G.C.B. ; the Right Hon. and Rev. Canon Lord Saye and Sele, Hon. Mr. Peters, Hon. E. G. Peters, Mr. J. King, M.P., Major W. Ormsby Gore, Mr. G. Holyoake, Dr. Kennedy (of London), Messrs. J. William and W. War dell (of Chester), the Mayors of Hereford and Ludlow, and Mr. H.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S DAUGHTER. —The only daugh ter of Sir John Franklin is married to the Rev. John Philip Gell, now curate of St. Mary's, Marylebone. He was nominated at a very early age to Sir John Franklin (when Governor of Van Diemen's Land) as Warden of Christ's College, Hobart Town. He endea voured to make that institution all that Sir John Frank lin designed it to be as th e centre of enlightenment to the whole colony. " Since his return to England, and his marriage" (says a correspondent of the Times), " he has been discharging the duties of a London curate, with how much efficiency, zeal, and ability. may be readily ascertained by inquiry among his parishioners. Is there no one among those who deplore Sir John Franklin, and appreciate his services to the country, who will testify this feeling by bestowing preferment upon his son-in-law ?"

The plug was close at hand in the engine-house, and its not having been used could have been only from the most shameful carelessness. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG WoMAN.—Last evening an inquest was held on the body of a young woman, named Susannah Prior, 18 years ()rage, servant at the Old English Gentleman beer-shop, John-street, who bad committed suicide the same morning, by throw ing herself from an attic window in the above house, a height of upwards of 30 feet. The only cause assigned was her great trouble about her sister, who died very suddenly in London of cholera. On a table of the attic in which she slept was found an envelope, on which she had written the following :—" Dear Lord, re remember me ; i gon to meat sister : forgiv." A verdict that deceased destroyed herself whilst in a state of tempora r y insanity was returned. —Brighton Herald.
