I" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which Ihave ex perieneed 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 rhedmatis gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 15th Dragoons, and In Spain, wider Sir John Moore. in the 18th Hussars. I always pro :urea 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 !ost no timaitt 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 sue 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. inoreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not In any degree suf lered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS e 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, • GARRNT FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Pront, 229. Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIU'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy contain neither mercury, opimu, 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.

There can be no doubt that they ought always to bo selected, without exception or reserve, from the very first members of the profession— not perhaps the first in practice, but the most remarkable in talents, the foremost- in public estimation, the purest and loftiest in character. Yet what do the necessities'of the case demand? Why, in the first place,. that they shall he chosen only from those lawyers who chance to have a seat in Parliament, and, in the second place, out of these, from those only who are certain of their re-election. The ' beet man must be passed over in favour of the second-best. even for this high office and this solemn responsibility, if the latter is blessed with a complacent, and the former wills a cantankerous, constituency. This is a great evil; but the mischief and the anomaly do not stop here. By immemorial custom, and esteblished professional etiquette, the Solicitor-General ale4ys eye ceeds the Attorney-General, and the Attorney-General is held entitled to claim, as :a matter of right, the highest j neliciona. appointment that falls vacant during his tenure of office. -Thins the comparatively incom:petont or unde eirable barrister becomes Lord Chief deistic:, not in Conic pence of any. proved or even - supposed. qualificAton.fer the: bench, but sitnidy:beeenee he •heppened some . tieen 'be- fore tc have had, a firm hold'ort some Rarlianientery con-, stitut(incy.

There 414,:i be no objection to this proposal, except its novelty. But is it not novel. The Sovereign used to have that power ; she had it up to 1832. Its abolition was the innovation ; its restoration would be merely a return stare super autiqua,s vias. Before the reform bill she could hive seated everyone of her ministers in the House of Com Mons for Government be roighe without subjecting any one of them 'to the hazards of a poPular election. It was a privilege constantly exer ciskid, and now lit le in danger of abuse. But there is ano ther incongruity. The;Sovereign still possesses this power • with respect to. one branch of the Legislature. She may now appoint her ministers to seats in the House of Lords. She may give a man a seat and a vote in one house, but she cannot give him a seat without a vote in the other. She can make an uusu,cessful candidate a peer, though she cannot make him a commoner. We allow her to make him au hereditary legislator, but grudge her the privilem of making him a legislator for seven years. There can be no sound reason for withholding the decorous and most beneficial arrangement we propose; and we shall - regard any new reform bill as very incomplete without it. We have now completed our exposition of the principles . which, in our, judgment ought toform the basis of the new reform\ bill. How far they may square with the views of her Majesty's Ministers, we can of course only conjecture. We are -sure that the adoption of them would harmonise well ' with the character and composition of the present Cabi net, mid would do no discredit to their fame. The day on which they propound their measure to the country will be a critical one, both for their reputation and their ex istence. The formation of this Ministry was hailed with delight ; its progrese was watched with interest' and appro val through alaborious and eventful session; and-it closed its Parliamentary labours in a perfect halo of popularity ant success. It may now seal -Or mar its power'; it may consolidate or undermine its stability ; it may im mensely add• to, or deplorably weaken. its prestige. If Ministers have the courage and the independence to strike out a new course, and to regard the matter from a diffe rent and a higher poitt of view than has hitherto been customary; if, looking to the great ends which all patriotic statesmen must desire, they will sagaciously adapt their changes to those ends, unfettered by stereotyped notions; uncoulined to the rut of traditional ideas ; if the more Radical. among them will forswear their empty formulas, and the more Whig will soar fora moment out of the misty shibboleths of party, and the more Conservative will shake off their old mistrust of what is new, and their old dread of what is bold ; if all will cordially unite to consi der, not how little can be changed, but how much ought to be done—they may do a good and win an easy victory ; they .mu secure to themselves a long and beneficent exist once, and raise a noble monument when that existence shall have rim its destined course. But if they should, unhappily, be overpowered by the formal and red-tape element among themselves ; if they should fall into the old routine, repeat the old twaddle, thrash. the old chaff, bring forward the oldprojects ; if they should commit the fatal error of conceiving that Parliamentary reform means only some further loWerinF of the electoral qualification, and some further denunciations and precautions against bri bery ; if the approach the subject rather like haggling mer chants than like enlightened statesmen, and, by venturing on this rashness to satisfy the Radicals, and on that nig gardliness to reassure the Tories, producest garment full only of newpatches and of old rents—then nothing, not even their well-earned reputation, not even the necessity which the country may feel for their continuance, can save them from ignominy and defeat—and, what is worse; from consciously deserving both. 'We hold two things to be certain—that a wise and states - iianlike measure will pass both houses easily, and by large majorities ; and that a measure which is either clumsy and inadequate, or rash and democratic, will be scouted by the country and rejected by Parlia ment. If the Cabinet should so far derogate from just ex pectations as to propose a bill like that of 1852, or even one containing its principal features (a Si. borough fran chise and a grouping of corrupt and petty boroughs), we believe it will scarcely pass the House of Commons, and we are sure it will be defeated in the Lords. The Com mons will be encouraged to reject it from the conviction that a most important section of the Cabinet consented to it only with reluctance, and to avoid a schism. The Lords will be encouraged to reject it (if it reaches them) by large minorities in the lower house, and by the indifference or the manifest hostility of nearly all parties in the country. Those who form, both in and out of Parliament, the real supporting strength of. this country—viz., the sincere and earnest, but sober and undemocratic, Reformers—will fall away from them ; the moderate and cautions Whigs will join the Tories in disapproval and opposition ; and the aid they may purchase from the Radicals will be sufficient, and dearly bought. The country, our Ministers may be quite sure, though resolutely bent upon good government and practical reforms, desires and will endure no measure which shall weaken by one iota the influence of property and education ; it wishes to enlarge the circle, but not to break down the entrench ments of the Constitution. Any folly the Cabinet may commit in this. direction will be a gratuitous folly—a betise et pure perte ; fewer people than ever before wish for such—mare people than ever before condemn it, dread it, and Will resist it to the death. We do not know if Minis ters are aware of the fact—but their friends have done them great injustice if it have not been brought before them, for-it is a facts—that avast change has of late passed over the public mind on the subject.of organic innovations. Of those who were most zealous far the first Reform Bill, who worked hardest and ventured most for its success, the most able and influential, if not the most numerous portion, are resolutely opposed to any measure which, under pre tence of following it up, shall in reality endanger or upset, it. And any Government which—after our eyes have been opened to the fatal tendency and the retrogressive nature of that scheme—shall bring in a proposal for substituting a 5.!: for a' it. borough franchise, will stand amazed and aghast as it sees one zealous reformer, one proved and noted. Liberal, after another, withdrawing from the side, and crossing over, with sad countenances, but not with hesitating steps, to swell the ranks and redeem the charac ter of their opponents. From such disappointment and despair, good Lord deliver us ! W. R. G. TUE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT PLYMOUTH.—On Fri day evening the jury again assembled at the Guildhall, to inquire into the cause'of the death of the five boys who were killed, as previously reported, by the fall of the houses in Southside-street. No further evidence was adduced, and the coroner summed up, when, after two houri and a hales deliberation, the jury returned a ver dict of accidental death, coupled with a recommenda tion to the commissioners that in future all old houses should be pulled down under the superintendence of the town surveyor, and that proper notice should be given to him of such removals. If this had been done, they believed that there would have been no loss of life in this case. Another inquest was to have been held on Saturday on the body of the boy Dyer, who died on Wednesday from the injuries that he received whilst passing the houses when they fell.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret caused of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marti ago.

(Prom the Morning Chronicle.) I There aro several minor arrangements which should form tart of a now reform in our representative, system—such As the qualification of members—secret or open suffrage— the mode of taking votes, viva voce, in the polling booth its now, or by the distribution of voting papers, as has been ' roposed—which we do not Mond here to discuss. W e ay, perhaps, recur to some of them when the subj ect is afore Parliament for decision. But there is one innova ion, mall and simple, and open, so far as we can see , t o o real objection, yet so just and so important that w e are nxions it should form part of the Ministerial measure on its first announcement to the country. By inveterate custom, and, indeed, now by statute law, it is necessary for a member of the House of Commons, on appointment to any office of trust and' emolument nuclei the Crown (with very few exceptions), to vacate his seat, and either seek a new one or present himself to his old con ;fitments for re-election. The moment a senator becomes it servant of the Sovereign, he ceases ipso facto to be a re presentative of the people. The Queen pays a constituency the high compliment of selecting the man of its choice to he the man of her choice also • and the constituency forth with repays the compliment by almost an insult. .It sum mons before it the man who bas thus been tainted by royal favour for judgment, and sometimes for condemna tion. It strips him of the livery it had just before con- i Irred. It revokes and reconsiders its decision. It acts as i the Sovereign's touch had left a black mark u p on there r esentative and stamped him as an unclean t hin g . This customi might have had meaning in it for merl y ; it i sheer nonsense now. In early days, when the influence of the Crown was really menacin g to the unconsolidated Privileges of the Commons , when the Means of corruption aped its disposal were vast and nearly uncontrolled, and when the Monarch might not impossibly seduce or pur chase a dangerous " tribune of the people" b ular for by i c e offer of high place, and bribe him by office to :barter pop royal allegiance, it was probably wise and right to allow to the constituencies the power of rejecting a representative who was probably no longer in a condition to serve them fitithfully ; nor, with the various "ways and means" then at the disposal of tho Crown, did any serious inconveni ences result from the practice. Now all these dangers are chimerical. Parliament is omnipotent, and the House of Commons nearly so; the liberty of the subject is no longer in danger ; the influence of the Grown is no longer in need cif reduction or of jeal ous vi g ilance ; the Sovere betray op press them. Then why retain a custom no longer needed, and no longer just? Before the first Reform Bill the practice was attended with no practical evil. The Sove reign appointed whom he would as his Minister out of the party then strongest in tho House of Commons. and if any of these appointed lost their seats, some holders of Government or nomination boroughs vacated in their fa vour, and they came into Parliament as a matter of course, and without difficulty. Since 1832, however, the case has been very different, and much inconvenience has ensued. That measure, by abolishing, or nearly so, the close boroughs both of the Government and of private patrons, unintentionally committed an infraction of one of the un doubted rights of the Crown. It virtually deprived the Queen of the power, which the constitution gives her, of choosing her own Ministers. It enabled any capricious, ill tempered, or corrupt constituency (perhaps managed av w e aYfor or influenced by a single man) to exercise a veto upon the appointment of the Sovereign, since Minis ters must sit in Parliament, and since it is not always possible to find complacent members who will va acatree jeheatedrd-esaerenreedtaryseaotfs State.in ormdearnytocarskhe s i d in e r t a h t e i o n i l i n — a i : l c d • that the evil Of maintaining this obsolete custom. is by shown o s e e s y s e several m is •e co ek l s i moans theretical.

( FPom the Tintes. ) It is not true, as has been stated on assumed autho rity, that any' brief and conclusive_ note" from the Emperor of Russia to ths,Frencli and English Govern .'ments has cut short all further negotiation, arid referred the decision of, the Eastern question to the fortune of war. No such Connnunication has.reached this country. The effect produced in Russia:, and especia!ly on the mind of the Emperor Nicholas, by the intelligence se mi:red during the past month front the frontiers" of the Danube and the Caucasus is . still imperfectly known to the west of Europe, though it is of essential imporrxtiee to any estimate ,which maybe funned of the chances 'o.f peace and war. Our own correspondence .from St.; Petersburgh and Warsaw extends to the 2441 of No-, versles, and, although in those iron-girt cities little is suffered to transpire which conveys an impression , of doubt or perplexity on the part of the Government, it is clear that the aspect of affairs is viewed there with extreme anxiety awl apprehension.

The first incident of the war,! being the capture of a fort named after the patron saintl of the Car himself, has struck a'stiperstitiotisgloorn into l the army and Atte Russian people, - and is regarded as o f most ominous event. Prince jti oronzow's. d&spatell, giving an account of the capture of this fort—St. Niche-, las—was certainly not 'calculated to diminish the itnpres sion produced by such 'a : defeat ; and the subsequent' repulse by the Turks of five attempts to retake this position has aggravated the disaster. At the same time a Russian steamer, the Foudroyant, with troops on board, the same, it is said, which conveyed Prince Mens chikoff to Constantinople on his arrogant mission, ran, aground on the coast, and was destroyed by the enemy,: and a steam-frigate is reported to have been damaged, if .not lost, in another part of the Black Sea. There appears great reason to expect that these successes of the Turkish forces, followed by •the raising of the blockade of the coast, and by supplies of arms and pow der from the Turkish arsenals, will be followed by a general insurrection of the mountaineers of the Caucasus. The hill forts and block-houses, which served to cover the Russian stations, will be closely invested, and' the communication by the military roads through the pro vince. wholly interrupted, Meanwhile Prince Woronzow is at Tiflis with an army of about 30,000 men, but the reinforeoments he demanded have not reached him ; his communications by sea and land are threatened or cut off ; and, to complete the embarrassment of the Emperor, it appears by the last accounts that Prince Woronzow himself, who may be regarded as the second personage in the empire, and has shown great abilityin his administration of Southern Russia, is seriously, and even dangerously ill. . , . . , If the Emperor Nicholas turns his thoughts westward he finds'iliere no grounds of confidence or satisfaction. Exactly a year ago he was united by the closest ties to the leading States of Central Europe and to-this country. He has now converted. the . intimate relations which ex isted between himself arid the German Powers into dis approval of his policy, remonstrances against his mea sures, suspicion of his designs, and neutrality verging towards positive resistance. :With this country and with France he finds himself on a still more precarious footing ; and in the course of these transactions nothing appears to have affected the Emperor more than the consciousness that lie :has. forfeited the respect and goodwill of the whole English people, and placed in Jeopardy the pacific relations between Russia and England; which have remained almost unbroken for 300 years. He Stands in that positibn 'of total isola tion in which no Government, not even that of Louis XIV., or Napoleon, could maintain unwarrant- ' able pretensions, and nn Soiereign ever yet perma- ' nently gave the law to Europe. Whatever be his pride, and whatever be his power, to that law he must one day bow, and it is a lamentable mistake to imagine that this necessity will become less painful and humiliating by'a`more protracted contest. On the contrary, at each successive step- the Emperor findsliimself more nearly opposed,' not to Turkey, bUt ,to the great Western Powers whom he has called into the field; for there is now reason to believe that positive and definite engage iirents have been agreed to by the. four -vacillating . Powers..pledgingthem to submit to no change in the territorial arrangements of Europe. The scheme of a direct negotiation- between Russia and Turkey, which has been mentioned, is a !mere invention of the Journal des Debats or its Russian informants. Probably another fortnight will elapse before it is known with certainty whether the belligerents accept or. refuse the invitation to send plenipotentiaries to a conference of the other Four Powers, and in the mean time we must expect the continuation of military pre parations. At present, however, no measures of extra ordinary promptitude or energy appear to have been taken, and the Russians seem rather intent on pre paring for a long struggle than on striking an imme diate blow. The army in Poland, contrary to the re ports which have been current, has not moved, and has received no orders to move ; but the process of recruit ing is carried on this year in Poland with peculiar violence and barbarity ; the number of conscripts required has been increased by several thousands, and persons have •been seized even in their, own houses and pressed into the Imperial ranks for military service of 25 years ! . While these horrors are perpetrated at Warsaw and in other Polish towns, the dignified and hopeful language of the venerable Prince Czartoryski to the Polish emigration in Paris, and the marks of confi dence recently shown to the Polish leaders by the French Government, may serve to remind the Emperor Nicholas that the most audacious act of Russian ambi tion and injustice—the spoliation of Poland—is still unredressed. If the army of Poland is really intended to move southward, its place must be immediately sup plied, and probably the Imperial Guard would advance to the western frontier. The corps of General Osten- Sacken, which was reported some days ago to have crossed the Pruth, is still by no means so far advanced. The, reinforcements that crossed the Pruth were only three cavalry regiments. But Osten-Sacken's army will probably not reach the Danube before the latter part of this .month, or the beginning of January, if, in deed, it be riot still further retarded by the state of the country, which is almost impassable at this season. According to all the previous experience we have had of Russian armies' entering upon a campaign, several months will elapse before the Emperor can be prepared to take the field with such forces as he marched into Hungary in .1849. These various circumstances — . the inglorious com mencement of the war, the critical position of the Transcaucasian provinces, the increasing alienation from Russia of all the European Powers, and the scar city of money, which begins to be felt —are said to have produced a very unfavourable effect on the Em peror's mind. At the most critical moment of his reign the-confidence which existed between himself and his oldest counsellors, and even his own family, is shaken and impaired. His conduct is wayward, his policy un settled ; and we hear no more of that popular enthusiasm for war in Russia which was said to be urging on the Government to the most violent measures. If this be a faithful picture, as we beli eve i t i s, of the state of opinio n a t the Court of St. Petersburg, nothing can be further from that vigorous union and man ly decision which can alone direct with success g re enterprises in politics and in war.

Saturday, at 5 p.m., with the usual Peninsular mails, and dates from Gibraltar the 23d, Cadiz the 24th, Lisbon the 29th, and Vigo the 30th ult. With Oporto no communication could be effected, in consequence of the state of the weather. The Sultan brings on freight three packages o f specie, 97 boxes of eggs, 1,825ha1f-chests of oranges, 265 boxes of raisins, 732 serous of canary seed, seven casks of ivory, 20 boxes of preserved fruit, 28 casks of wine, six baskets of chestnuts, 16 bar- rels of dates, and sundry merchandise. The Sultan left her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin at anchor in the Tagus at 8 a.m. on the 29th ult., as also be, Newton; French steam-sloop. The South American and General. Steam Navigation Corn, pany s ' new steamer Lusitania, on. the Brazil line, 'entered tho Tagus -at daylight on the 29th, having been off the bar in little more than four days from Liverpool.. The French steamer-of-war Canada left Lisbon for Toulon on the 28th. • On the 29th ult. the Sultan communicated with her Majesty's ships Imperieuse and Valorous lying in Caceis-bay. Her Majesty's ship Desperate was also observed in company with those ships. The Portuguese war-steamer. Don Luiz, having on board the Prince de Joinville and suite, left Lisbon on the 28th nit. for CadiZ. Another asgzmination has just been perpetrated. The. victim on this occasion was the notorious Galamba, once a most active guerilla. chief, and latthrly a deputy to the Cortes. The Comit Tasarada, Son-in-law of the Duke of Sallanba, and civil governor of Lisbon, died on Friday, after a lingering illness. His successor in •The Goyerninent Will probably be the Connt - de Ponto,':the nephew Of the Duke.' - The Lisbon exchange quotations .for bills at three months are, by this steamer, 541.0 n London, with little husinris and paper over ; Paris, 531 ; "Amsterdam, 4`.2 , , in demand ;1 - fambrirg, 48k, in demand ; and Genoa, 530 ; Netv Poi-fugues° Three per Cents. were -- in deinand 39.! i to 40 ; and Bank of Portugal shares, at 157t.Q.1.33 milreis dis. per share of 500 milreis, these- rates being subject to the current discount of.2im per cent. upon ,Lisbon Ba n k, main trained 5 t o 6 - •.opoito Bank Shares main per cent. pm. in metal. THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE QUEEN. On the 10th ult. the remains of the late Queen ' of Portugal were deposited in the tomb of her an cestors. In consequence of the rapid decomposi tion of the b o d y much of the ceremonial used on such occasi ons h a d to be dispensed with, and, among other thi ngs , the kissing of the Royal hand was substituted by obeisances performed before the closed coffin. At ten o'clock on Saturday morn ing, the Mistress of the Robes, having locked the outer coffin and delivered the key to the " Mordonio Mor," took a lighted candle in a candlestick (the established etiquette)and went before the bearers of the coffin, as far as the palace gate, where she stood until the hearse in which it was deposited began to move away. The following was the order of the procession :—A squadron of Lancers, the offi cers of the municipality on horseback, in long black cloaks and cocked .hats with crape bands—two long lines of citizens (among them many of the British residents) all ix deep mourning and bearing wax torches—the carriages of the ministers, the nobility, and the corps diplomatic - pc—the state carriages conveying the great officers of the household—a splendid carriage conveying the crown and sceptre upon a large cushion of crimson velvet—an empty mourning coach—the hearse surrounded by th e archers o the Royal Guard in their showy dress of scarlet and gold, and walking bareheaded— another squadron of cavalry—and lastly, the troops that lined the streets, and fell into platoons as the procession passed them. On the . whole, there was nothing grand in the funeral ; but the voluntaray attendance of the citizens, whose numbers must have amounted to some ,two or three thousand, was an unexpected novelty which greatly heightened its effect. The part which our merchants took in it did credit to their good feelings ; the more so, as the system of government coeval and connected with the en thronement of the illustrious deceased has been one of anything but favour to their commercial in terests. The wisdom of the display may, perhaps, be questioned, but certainly not the amiability of the feeling by which it was prompted. The fune ral service at the church was long and solemn, and at its termination the crowds dispersed; the lights were extinguished, the doors were closed, and the High and Mighty Princess Donna ‘Maria da Gloria, Queen of Portugal and Algarve, &c., was left to pass her first night in the vault where lie the remains of her Royal ancestors. On the 23d inst., after having, according to the custom of the Portuguese Court, passed eight days in close retirement, the King Regent held a levee at the palace of Necessidades, On the 26th an address of condolence on the part of the British merchants was presented to his Majesty by a depu tation from that body, composed of Mr. Vice Consul Meagher, and Messrs. Shore, Roughton, Ellorton, Knowles, Wilby, Turner, Hancock, and Carruthers. There is a rumour very current that his Majesty intends, when the Cortes meet, to rec ommen d th at they should either declare the young King of age ' at once, or at all events shorten the t erm o f hi s minority. It does not appear upon what founda tion this report rests. It is, however, very likely to be true. The minority is too short to allow the Regent time to carry out any extensive plan he may have for promoting the good of the country, but quite long enough to enable him to bring a load of odium, deserved or un deserved, upon himself. Besides which, he is not only a foreigner, but setting aside the period - of Spanish domination from 1580 to 1640 —the only foreigner who has ever been at the head of the State ; and, all circumstances considered,' therefore, it will not be wondered at if he should decline the regency at once, or endeavour to shuffle i fe t e o l ff ing as : so it ou is as n p o o t ssi l b ik le e . ly A that ssm u i h e l 1 g w i ,11 11 i s m e th a nth h i l i e s make any change in the administration; or do more, than merely car r y on t h e ordinary routine of Go vernment ; unless, indeed, the state o f th e D u k e of Saldanha' s h ea l t h , which is said to be again very infirm, should oblige that nobleman to retire from office ; in which case, M. the hands of w h at party theßoyochuniggo li . . er.

WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. The Royal Mail steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, arrived here at midnight with the West India, Pacific, and Gulf o f Mexico mails, and dates from Vera Cruz, November 5; Tampico, 2; Savan nah, ; Demerara, 9 ; and St. Thomas's, 16. The Orinoco has encountered unfavourable wea ther on the voyage, and put into Falmouth for a supply of coal. She brings on freight specie value $2,024,139, of which $60,000 are for account of Mexican divi dends. The freight-list also comprises a large quantity of cochineal, cigars, tobacco, sarsaparilla, pimento, &c. • • In Jamaica the business of the Legislature had progressed far more harmoniously than was ex pected.
