NEW INVENTIONS.—The Americans, always fond of the "go -:t-head" system, and determined :o destroy the barriers of rudeness, time, and space by several inventions they are aboat to bring out. The English, practical and calculating, are in advance with almost every ether nation in the success which atten s all their introductions, an, have die ingnished themselves by the economising properties of their Inventions. On this aid of the Atlantic it is quite customary to say " What will the invention save ?" tor that is a great essential of improvements. In the most businesslike sense this applies to the Establishment of E. Moans and SON, whose inventions in ATTI B are the climax of ali medern im provements, by an unity of speed and correctness in tile execution f orirrs, and combination of styles. comfort, and economy in every seasonable article of dress. E. Mons and SoN's new inventions in OVERCOATS, over all preten ed imitations, are perfectly victorious in material, in tashion, in comfort, and cheapness. E MOSES and SoN's new introductiOns in Sporting Dress are the approved and the most business-like inventions of the age, affording perfect ease in all sporting exercises, and presenting a most gentle manly appearance at an economical coat. E. Mons and Sores Juvenile Dress exhibits the most ingenious inventions, and comb ne novelties no to be equalled i-Isewhere The largest stock of Hosiery Goods in the world at E MOSES and Sox's show the newest inventions of every country in the universe, and are practically a great say.ng to purchasers.

['he following tentibnonial in another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln cquainting 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 tbat portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was drat 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 thr,se who know some thing of this disease. It was during one of thole 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 .he 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, tha , 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."

Two fatal cases of cholera occurred at 10, Robiu-Hood•court, which is about 10 yards from the place—the one on the 19th, and the other on the 28th ult. GREAT FIRE AT EXETER. 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. Burne and Company, who carried on the business of drapers. The shop had not 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 of a young man was is the house. This was true. It appeared i that a young man, named Smith, a nephew of Burne, had died a few days before ath .h re ir. w he wasPPell's, an woollen draper, of High - street , assistant, and his body had beenl trewwmasoevendattuoraSiciyotlsaunpd House previous to interment. . e searched,d.lr.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT BY BLASTING ROOeKeSk.. A It frightful accident, attended with fatal consequen ces , was the subject of an inquiry before the county co roner, I w Mr. Cockey, at T or q ua y , Devonshire, last appear s that two men, named R o b er t James Brown, were employ e d bl ast i ng rocks on the Braddons, at Tor, for the erection of some hou ses i n th e h n o ei l g es hb in ou t r h h o oo l d .o , o a k n , d ah o o n o F t Friday yards y acs morning they bored two apart, which they charged in the usual way with gunpowder. Instead of providing the ne cessary 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 previously p u t i n a heavy ch arge of powder ; and, .as he Was in the ac t of attaching a lighted fusee to the other end of the reed, by some means the powder exploded, and the un f ortunate man was blown some distance into the air, and th en f e ll over t h e c liff , a d ept h o f upwar d s of 100 feet. He was taken up frightfully mutilated, and conveyed to the infirmary, where he died soon after his admission. His companion, Brown, had a most mira culous escape, having only left the spot a minute before the explo -ion took place.
