" Sir, —lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Goat, the suffering from which induced Ina to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. .During ono of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try . BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in seine 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 may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "MICHAEL NASMYTII." The above testimonial Is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, wkich afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tie doloreux, pains ii the head and face, and all analogous complaints.

I paid 11. down, gave him my reference, and agreed to pay the balance at the end of next week ; but I never went into his employment, as I found him to be a mere imposter. Ann Christy, wife to William Christy, of No. 20, Beer•lane, Tower-street, said—l know the prisoner. His name is Prudence. He took the counting-house, and the name of Rust and Co. was put upon the door. and the letters received there were addressed to Rust and Co., and regularly opened by the defendant. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk)— Was there any per son of the name of Rust in the house ? Witness—No body at all but this man. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, what account do you give of this transaction? The defendant—Why, my Lord, I have a perfect explanation of the whole aulair to give. I took the premises of Mr. Christy, the husband of this lady, for myself and partner, being agents for ono or two houses, and an agreement was drawn up in the name of Prudence, giving Mr. Christy to understand that the business was to be carried on in the name of Rust and Prudence. Now, having an ex tensive connexion, we wanted a person to go amongst coachmakers to sell chemical colours, and dispose of chicory amongst grocers, and we advertised far the pur pose. When the gentleman applied for the berth, he gave me the 11. provided I would keep it open for him till the following Monday, but I was much surprised the next morning, when I went to the office, to see him walk in, and to hear him abuse me by calling me several names, particularly by that of swindler, before he attempted to enter into any conservation upon any subject. I did not like that mode of proceeding towards a mercantile house, and felt indig nant. He demanded the sovereign he had handed to me for keeping the place open for him ; thereupon I stated that I had on his account turned away four other appli cants, and that I did not see why I should put myself to the inconveniences of returning the money he had de posited in my hands on that day, but would give it to him on Monday. He stamped and acted in a most ir rational manner, and swore he would not leave the place unless he should receive the cash. I said I would give him an I 0 U for 21., to be paid on the Monday, and he shook hands with me cordially, and we parted.— (Laughter.) Next day I was taken ill, and did not go to the office, and he caused me to appear before your Lordship. The Lon. MAYOR said he should remaid the case until Tuesday next. His Lordship considered that cases of such a nature, involving the money and expectations of men struggling for a livelihood, demanded from a magistrate very particular inquiry. LAMBETH. DARING ROBBERY. James Roberts, Henry Ed wards, and Caroline Palmer, all well•known characters, were placed at the bar before Mr. Yardley, on the fol lowing charge of impudent robbery : On Wednesday last a woman named Webb was at the Spanish Patriot public-house, rather the worse for li quor, and the prisoners were there also. The female prisoner shook hands with Webb, and in doing so she managed to take five rings from her fingers. Two of these she managed to drop on the floor, a third she handed to the owner, and the remaining two she gave to her companion Roberts, who started off with them. Romaine, the constable, who has the case in hand, said that the friends of the prisoners had managed to get hold of the principal witness, and kept him out of the way. The landlord of the public-house was also absent, though he had requested his attendance. Mr. YARDLEY remanded the prisoners Roberts and Palmer, but discharged Edwards, and directed that sum monses be issued for the attendance of the necessary witnesses at the next examination. THE CASE OF MATRICIDE AT HACKNEY. Yesterday, at noon, Mr. W. Baker, coroner for East Middlesex, and the jury empanneled to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Frances Sheridan, the widow of an officer in the army, lately resident in Mare-street, Hackney, re-assembled at the Dolphin Tavern, pursuant to an adjournment from Tues day last, for the purpose of further prosecuting the inquiry. The facts of this case have from time to time appeared in The Sun, in the shape of reports of proceedings befot e the coroner, as well as before the sitting magis trates at Worship-street Police-court, from which office the son of the .deceased, William Stewart Sheridan, is now under remand on a charge of having caused his mother's death. Although yesterday was the sixth occasion on which the jury had assembled, so great was the interest felt in the proceedings, that the court was densely crowded even before the coroner's arrival. The evidence taken during the day was very similar to that already given before the magistrates. It is, therefore, unnecessary to repeat it in detail. Suffice it to say, that the clerk of the London Life Assurance Corporation proved that the son of the deceased sur rendered a policy for 500/., effected on his own life, and dated October 22, 1829, in consideration of the payment of 961. 16s. Gd., which he received within 24 hours of his mother's death ,• the daughters of the de ceased severally repeated their testimony previously given, the manner in which they did so being marked by very decided acrimonious feeling against the accused party ; Mr. Randall, the landlord of the house, No. 31, Mare-street, in which the family resided, proved the frequent occurrence of the most violent quarrels between the parties, adding that on one occasion he heard the brother threaten to do for his sister Catherine ; Mr. Evans, the summoning -officer, deposed to the state of anxiety which William Sheridan exhibited when it had been determined to make a post-mortent examination of his mother's remains, and to his expressed desire that the publication in the newspapers of anything in con nexion with the affair should be suppressed ; and Ser geant Hawker proved having found in the prisoner's desk at the Excise-office three 201. Bank of England uotes, one sovereign, and other moneys. This officer also produced the following letter, which had been re ceiver the day previous by Miss Catherine Sheridan from her brother : " House of Detention, Clerkenwell. " Kate—Oh do keep that bit of dear mother's silver hair for me. I put it on the top of the glass. I dreamt of her on Friday ; she said to me " Why . do you stay away—l am so lonely." Oh ! she came right up to me —miserable. " WILLIAM S. SHERIDAN. " Miss C. Sheridan, 31, Mare-street, Hackney. The case being closed as far as evidence was con cerned, The CORONER charged the jury. The Learned Gen tleman commenced by calling upon them to dismiss from their minds everything they might have heard elsewhere on the subject, and to confine themselves strictly to a consideration of the evidence which had been laid before them. This evidence had been of a most voluminous character, and had disclosed a variety of extraordinary and painful facts, on which it now became their duty to decide. That the deceased had met her death by unfair means, he thought none who had heard the testimony of the various witnesses could, for a moment, doubt. The medical evidence proved beyond all question the pre sence of arsenic in the stomach of the deceased, and the matter for their consideration was, by whom had it been administered. After reading over, and commenting upon , the depositions of the various witnesses as calculated to throw any light on this subject, Mr. Baker proceeded to refer to that portion of the evidence affecting the character of the accused party, remarking that he thought they could have little difficulty in coming to the conclusion that he was a young man of dissipated habits, and very much addicted to intemperance. The Learned Coroner here read from Ray's " Medical Jurisprudence" several extracts, showing the effect of excessive indul- • gence in spirituous liquors on certain minds. Among the illustrations quoted was that of the celebrated Sh& ridan, who, according to the author, " never spoke in the House of Commons without the inspiration of half a pint of brandy." It ;was a singular coincidence (continued Mr. Baker) that that once great man should have been the very beacon held out in the book from which lie had quoted to warn others of the vice of in temperance, and it was a still more remarkable and painful fact that he was no other than the grandsire* of that unfortunate young man who was now confined within the walls of a prison on the dreadful charge of matricide. The Coroner here read an extract from the biography of Sheridan, which stated that " his death took place amidst a complication of difficulties, fears, and sorrows, brought on by his own imprudent and intemperate habits." After which he remarked, bitter indeed must have been his reflections could he but have been conscious of the legacy he thus bequeathed to his posterity—namely, the hereditary inherit ance of a broken constitution, a debilitated body, an emaciated and attenuated frame. What did the jury now see before them? A whole family.nim merged in the lowest sink ofintemperance—thegeld ads debased—their morals impure. The mother ha ir d victim of filth and disease; one of her daughters forth on aughters unable to bear the last, closing scene , had wan dered the evening of her death, not knowing whither she was driven back by the going, and only returning when energies; while the son, in stead of dutifully rendering prostration of her physical the last sad offices to his widowed parent, there was too much reason to fear, first placed the "poisoned chalice to her lips," and then hurried to the office in which his life had been insured, securing, on the very day of his mother's death, the small pittance of 961., on his policy of 5001., to feed his depraved appetite for future revels of intoxication. After some further remarks in a similar strain, the Coroner reminded the jury that they mast not allow their feelings to influence their judgment; it was their 1 duty carefully to consider a ll the circumstances attend ing the case, and come to a conclusion thereon. Having pointed o u t th e l aw as appl i cable to the present , case, Mr. Baker said he left the matter, with every confidence, in the hands of the jury, satisfied that they would do justice to all parties. The court was here cleared, and the jury remained in deliberation for about half an hour, at the expiration of which time it was announced that 12 out of 13 o f th e d pa is n s e e l nt l i t e a n d t, agreedtoitiwasunderstood, averdict of " Wilf u l murder,' the objecting on the ground of T sr ie e_ R p o ec o uliar opinion en t erta i ne d b y hi mse lf .

The sisters of the deceased were both present up to the close of the inquiry, and heard the verdict without any apparent concern ; indeed, it has been generally remarked that their conduct throughout the proceeeings has been marked by the most disgraceful levity. The accused is said to be the godchild of a noble lord whose name he bears. PRICE OF SUGAR.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and ommon Juries). The cause list contains 61 remanets, of which 24 are set down for special juries. There are three Crown cases only. A large number of undefended causes were dis posed of. ELLIOTT V. EURRELL. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover compensation in damages for the injuries which he had sustained in consequence of a nuisance arising from the smoke of the defendant's chimney. Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Knowles for the defendant. A number of witnesses were called on behalf of the plaintiff, to prove the nuisance in question ; before, however, the plaintiff's case was concluded, it was ar ranged that a rule of court should be made, compelling the defendant either to carry up the chimney to a con siderable height, or discontinue its use, each party agreeing to pay their respective costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) THOMSON V. WEBB. This action was brought to recover the sum of 1,3051. 13s. 4d., balance due for work and labour done in surveying and mapping a projected line of railway from York to Lancaster. The plaintiff is an engineer, and the defendant is Sir Henry Webb, Bart., who was chairman of the company. Mr. llumfrey and Mr. Peacock appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendant's case was conducted by Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Montagu e Smith. The trial occupied nearl y the whole of the day, and was not concluded when the Court rose. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. EXPLOSION OF THE CRICKET STEAM-BOAT (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury at length, contending that the evidence of Mr. Lloyd was con clusive as to the fact that the boiler was made of inferior material, was of bad construction, and had been subjected to very bad management, so as to be in a most dangerous state when the prisoner was placed in charge of it. There was not a tittle of evidence that he had in any respect neglected his duty, or that he had followed his predecessor's (Clark's) dan gerous practice of tying down the valves. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up ; and the jury, after deliberating for about .half an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Court, in consequence of his ignorance and the culpable conduct of the company in not giving him proper instructions for the manage ment of the boiler. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in an impressive address, during which the prisoner wept bitterly, sentenced him to imprisonment for two months, without hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Thomas Smith, a man of highly respectable appear ance, was indicted for stealing, on the 10th of May, 1846, several shawls, a quantity of artificial flowers, some Chinese beads, and other articles, the property of James M'llouall, the same then being in a vessel in a port of entry and discharge on the Thames. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson for the prisoner. The prosecutor was, at the time this matter arose, commander of an English merchant vessel called the Grecian, on board of which vessel prisoner acted as steward. In December, 1845, the Grecian was lying off Canton. On the passage of the Grecian down the river to Hong Kong, M'Douall, the captain, was seirNzl with the brain fever. Fearing that he should not live to reach England, he entrusted the prisoner with some pro perty, which he desired him to deliver to his wife, on his arrival in England. The captain was sent ashore at Hong Kong, while his ship proceeded on her homeward voyage. The Grecian arrived in England, in May, 1840, and in August M•Douall arrived, when he found that the prison e r had not given the articles to his wife as directed. He fell in with him in the St. Katherine's Docks, when the prisoner seemed dreadfully frightened at seeing him. On M'Douall! questioning him he said the cabin of the ship had been broken into, and things stolen. This was ascertained to be false, and the present charge was made. James M'Douall stated that in 1845 he was captain of the Grecian. In December of that year he was with his ship in the Canton river, and he purchased many articles to give to his wife and friends on his return to this country. Amongst others were seven or eight shawls, 24 boxes of artificial flowers, and a necklace. They were put in the eabin, and when he was attacked with the fever, he directed the prisoner, in the event of his not returning to England, to give them to his wife. He found on his arrival in England that none of the things had been given to his wife. The prisoaer would not accompany him to the dock authorities. After he had been taken into custody his lodgings were searched, and a quantity of artificial fl.iwers were found. They were similar to his, but he would not posi tively swear they were the same. A great mass of evidence was then gone into. The chief facts proved were, that the prisoner was seen in possession of two shawls like M'Douall's, that he denied ever having been entrusted with any property by M'Douall, and that nobody but the prisoner ever knew or heard of the alleged robbery of the ship while in dock. Mr. ROBINSON, on behalf of the prisoner, argued that there was no proof of guilt on the part of his client. As evidence the carpenter of the vessel swore that he gave the prisoner the flowers found at his lodgings. Mr. Taylor, a Custom-house officer, stated that a few days after the ship arrived, the prisoner told him that the cabin had been broken open. The jury, after deliberating for about au hour, found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. The prosecutor also recommended him to mercy. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for three months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Prudence, a small Jew-looking man, with a very singular aspect, was brought before the Lord Mayor to answer the complaint of John Boutherway, a complaint of very frequent but private occurrence. Mr. Boutherway, who stated himself to be a general shopkeeper, residing in Henry-street, Bedford-square, Commercial-road, said—l advertised in the Tzmes newspaper for a situation, and the defendant answered the advertisement by letter, and I went to him upon the subject of his communication to a tavern in Fish-street bill, and from thence to Beer-lane, where his counting house was. He said he was one of the travellers for the firm of Bust and Co , that the name was on the door, and that they were chicory-merchants. I saw some in digo blue about the place, and after some conversation, he agree d week ageed forto take me tne monthsas travellertowenertain.l gaveat t h ir h t i y ma shillings refe per . rence to my landlord.

Rear-Admiral Phipps Rornby and suite embarked this morning in the Asia, 84, and will sail to-morrow for the Pacific. The remaining companies of the 69th Regiment, em barked from the Clarence-yard, yesterday, in the Maria Somes transport, and were to have sailed to-day for Malta, for which purpose the Echo steamer was got ready to tow her out. Orders were, however, received to detain her twenty-four hours. Rear-Admiral Shirreff, superintendent of this dock yard, we regret to say,las been dangerously indisposed. We hear, however, this afternoon, the gallant officer is somewhat better. The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Ad miral J. R. Dacres, Commander-in chief on the Cape of Good Hope station, was at Port Louis Mauritius, on the 15th of September, a letter from her, of which date, says,—" We arrived here on the 11th of this month, having left Simon's Bay on the 21st of August. We had been ready to sail for two months, but the Admiral could not get any letters from England, and he had not received any English letters for more than five months from the Admiralty, and he would not start until he received some. When we left the Cape I didnot see any chance of the Kafir war being settled. Everything as going on just the same at Simon's Bay as before, and no changes. We had rather a rough passage up, but got on very well. We shall take a cruise down the Mozam bique on our return to the Cape. We shall remain here about a month or six weeks, but not longer. . . .

We were the first to announce, a fe;v weeks ago, that Government purposed taking immediate steps to send out expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin and his party—and have since been earnest in pressing, on the plea of the public anxiety, that nothing might be omitted or postponed which the real circumstances of the case demanded. We are now enabled to present our readers with the following particulars, which proceed from the highest official authority. Thre© expeditions will be sent to the Arctic regions: one will be dispatched in the course of a few days to Baring's Straits; the second will sail early in the ensuing spring to Baffin's Bay, and will be under the command of Sir James Ross; and the third will consist of an overland expedi tion to be placed under the direction of Sir John Ri chardson. The boats, with their crews of twenty men, belonging to the last-named expedition went out to Hudson's Bay during the late summer; and intelligence of their sate arrival at York Factory and departure for the in terior has reached this country. They were to winter at Cumberland House or at Saskatchewan River; and as soon as the navigation opens in the spring are to resume their voyage to the Mackenzie River. Sir John Richardson and another officer will leave England in March next for Canada ; and byte veiling in light canoes by the usual route of the fur traders to the north-west, they hope to overtake the boats in July, and with them to reach the Arctic Sea in the beginning of August, with an ample supply of nu triti ,us and solid food. The intention of this party is to track the coast to the eastward of the Mackenzie River, to communicate with the various tribes of Esquimaux, in expectation of gleaning some tidings of the discovery ships ; to examine Wollaston Land, and trace, as far as practicable, any inlets that may lead to the north : to erect landmarks on various headlands, with written communications buried underneath:; and, when the sea son closes, to repair to winter quarters at Great Bear Lake, by the Coppermine River. The boat parties to be sent out from the vessel which is to winter within Behring's Straits, together with parties over the to the spring, will, it is hoped, fully exp lore the westward of the Mackenzie ; and , as one of Sir ,Tames theßoss's n o ships north s to be North e n tL,Lancasters S s o e u n n t d u a t t thence, explore that from neighbourhood.north ward and A southward, nether e will p us h on to Bank's Land, and f Sir in Ja li m ke es m 's an s n h e i r ps sen will d out exploring parties in every direction; the ono sent southwards having the prospect of intersecting Sir J.

The search of the coast and of Wollaston and Victoria Land will be resumedli:li: SOD in the summer of 1849, if necessary. i t t h e s t amn make e g t hthat preparationstheA(i .hthaevseejeuxdtgeendsiviet pruNdoetnwt researches, we are gratified at being informed that most of the officers who, from having acquaintance with the navigaFtrioannkolifn,tharee qualified Arctic Seat j John Seas, and the i n t ent i ons o f Si r con tinue to hope th a t Si r John Franklin Fr ue in the matter, alldgSi. p in as t s i i i n e g ie ß e, el o crin s g to 's pp ra e t d in L annead ster lili so ll uh h d a succeeded , s h s ew c o ee a d ld e , d i n we a his vessels been nipped are assured, h ave returned to England about this time; h h e as h s a u d ece n e o a t done ed andthat as s e in g e s t o t g t h s e e y w c e o l ia l s t i e d e t r h e i t vi p ,e r s o t b w a a b r l d e the first year that he has been enabled to clear Bch ring's Strait s thi s O ctober ; in which case they look for tidings either through Russia or by the Isthmus of Pa nama, in February next.

STOPPAGE AND RE-OPENING OF A PUBLIC PATE.— We announced in our last that Mr. Campbell Wyndham had closed the entrance to one of the most favourite walks in his locality. A party of" nt,beccaites," strong in number and resolution, repaired to the spot at an early hour on Wednesday night, and speedily opened the communication through the park. They found that the posts were sunk several feet deep, and that the barriers were very strongly put together ; but, by dint of hard work, the boarding was removed and the posts sawn off a little height from the ground.
