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 RIMUMATIC 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 tered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS s towards its improvement. "I have recommended the Pills to many friends, 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 rens, &c., &c., BLAIK'S GOUT and RIIEUMA PIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy' contain neither mercury, opium, nor any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

' or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth , degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequer c. es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of ritysical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely it'd of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the Care of unqualified and ignorant emptrics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of IL, and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.

CAMERON and MARTIN, Parliamentary Agents, 1( 1 , NOW Palace-yard, Vre3lllllllllter. One of the most destructive fires which has been known in this city for the last 30 years occurred on Wednesday night. The premises in which the fire broke out were known as Scotland-house, and extended from Fore street into Westgate. They belonged • to . Messrs. Borne and Company, who carried on the business of drapers. The sliop• had no long been closed, and the assistants had but just left, when smoke was seen issuing from the shutters, and in a few moments the whole house was in a blaze. As soon as the firemen arrived, they proceeded at once to pull down the shutters of the shop, so as to pour in the water upon the fire within. No sooner was this accomplished than the flames, which had been pent up within, burst forth with terrific violence, and the men were soon compelled to retreat further into the street. It was then discovered that the whole of the goods in the shop were on fire, and that all attempts to save them would be unavailing, The engines soon began to play upon the burning mass, but with very little effect. The flames soon reached the second floor, and with the utmost rapidity shot through the whole of the building. About nine o'clock, so fiercely had the fire burnt, the frame-work of Messrs. Burne's house only was standing, and the front was entirely supported by a couple of balk props which supported the cornice of the shop. The scene at this time very striking, the light fabrics which made so large a portion of the stock came flying out in clouds, the sparks being wafted high up and far away, by the mere force of the flame, there being not a breath of air stirring. The excitement was tre mendous as the blazing front stood supported by these two props, which were kept in their place by the weight of the material above the water poured on them pre vented them from burning. It was evident that the front would soon fall, and the mob retired to a greater distance. at last down it came, and the crash was responded to with a loud and hearty cheer from the immediate spec tators ; but those at a little distance fled, panic-struck with the crash, the cheer, and the confused noise of the pumpers and the pumping. It was curious to see how far the panic carried them. Happily, this fall settled the whole matter. The burning debris was separated from the houses adjoining, it partly smothered itself, and was immediately under the command of the firemen—the fire was now virtually subdued, and though the firemen kept guard all night, the crowd betook themselves to their several beds. When the fire was at its height, it was rumoured amongst the spectators that the dead body . ...cf n a pp y e o a u r n e g man was is the house. This was true. It It ..f p r. he l w vip o p f e /S ir i a r : that a young man, named Smith, at Burne, had died a few days before h t e o S w c a o s tla a n n d woollen draper, of High-street, assistant, and his body had been ... was naturally sup r e w m h o e v r e e d House previous to intermenbteenlt consumed. Mr. Wil liam that the corpse had Guest, the undertaker, t with others, searched, and 12 o'clock on Thursday di sco vered it in the ruin s a d to ghtlylbe al morning. The coff i n was .oun. Mr. Borne, liburnmost wholly t. destroyed, but the corpse va s s given, sen., When the alarm of fire' was was in bed unwell. S e ve rals asleep. of the neighbours went to After some difficulty his room, and found him a and he was obliged to they succeeded in ro n n , usi ma ke his escape in hisnight dr i m, ess. The whole of the drapery stock and furniture, with the exception of a few trifling articles, were consumed. The shop assis tants whole of their wardrobes, lost the not a vestige of which could be saved. Th e origin of the fire is at present unknown. Messrs. Burnes stock was insured in the London Fire A s surance Society, and time premises in the West of • E ng l a nd ; but we regret to hear that the insurance did not reach half the value of property destroyed. MELANCEIOLY ACCIDENT BY BLASTING ROCKS. -- A f r ightful accident, at tended with fatal cons equences, was inquiry t h e subject of an before the county coroner, Mr. Cockey, at Torquay, Devonshire, last week. It a ppears that two men, named Robert Richards and James Brown, were employed blasting rocks on' the Braddons, at Tor, for the erection of some houses in the neighbourhood, and on Friday morning they bored two holes in the rock, about two yards apart, which they charged in the usual way with gunpowder. Instead of providing the necessary apparatus for firing the train, Richards had recourse to an invention of his own, which was the substitution of a common reed, one end of which he inserted in the hole he had bored in the stone having previou s ly put i n a heavy charge of powder ; and, as he was in the act of attaching a lighted fusee to the other end of the reed, by some means the powder exploded, and the unfortunate man was blown some distance into the air, and then fell over the cliff, a depth of upwards of 100 feet. He was taken up frightfully mutilated, and s conveyed to the infirmary, where he died soon after h admission. His companion, Brown, had a most mira culous escape, having only left the spot a minu te before the explosion tuck place.
