Mr. PILGRIM'S INDIAN GOUT FOMENTATION and
LOTION.—By the use of this new and potent remedy, the greatest
martyrs to any of the above excruciating diseases may obtain
IMMEDIATE RELIEF. This OUTWARD APPLICATION
requires the administration or no poisonous medicine to ensure
its effect, and may be used with equal fearlessness by the most
delicate or robust ; in no case will It cause either external or in-
ternal injury. It may be considered an extirpator of the malady,
as on the appearance of its first symptoms the application of the
lotion prevents their development. '1 he sufferer, whom nights of
sleepless torture have racked almost to insanity, may obtain by its

in private practice, and its marvellous effects have been tested by
num.rous noblemen and gentlemen. The lotion, with full instruc-
tio s for use, can only be obtained of Mr. Pilgrim at No. 7, May-

We have no desire to write a critique. On that point
it rarely happens that there be such entire accord-
ance amongst all branches of our critical and
periodical literature, as with respect to the " Lays of
the War." There has been but one objection started, and
that even of a secondary nature, to the lines euologistic
of the late Commander-in-Chief of the Crimean forces,
and which, as far as it goes, seems to be correct. The
poet is, however, entitled to exercise his own judgment
in the matter ; while public opinion did not so much
condemn Lord Raglan as the goverment that had made
the appointment. ne was not " the right man in the
right place." Let us not, however, swerve from the sub-
ject of the lays.
These ballads evince, beyond doubt, a poetic genius in
the bard worthy of the lofty and national theme which
he has, with considerable task and good feeling, made
the subject of his powerful illustrations. A simple
felicity of expression, and a chaste purity of diction, seem
their prominent characteristics. They are, in fact,
sketches of the most stirring and picturesque incidents
of the glorious and memorable engagements of the
Crimean war, which they help in no ordinary degree to
commemorate. There is a beauty and a brilliancy about
them, which cannot fail to render them appropriate
exponents of the great and decisive actions which took
place in so short a period on those eventful localities,
and bestowed upon them an undying lustre. The green
slopes and heights of Alma—its little river, which will
be henceforward far dearer to every British bosom than
the classizal Simois of the early Trojan times—the rude
valley of lnkerman, with its desperate and deadly
encounter—the fierce and fatal cbarge of the British
heroes at Balaklava, which will live in memory to be a
world's wonder through all time—all are brought before
us in language, clear, forcible, and pathetic, which
thrills through every fibre of the heart, and leaves im-
pressions too potent and indellible to be soon forgotten.
Scott excelled all men, since Homer, in giving, by
descriptive verse, the fiery onset of hostile forces, the
fury of the battle, its dreadful collision and hurrying
incidents ; yet, neither his diction nor style were, at
times, unexceptionable, while Mr. Barry, in the choicest
and most fictitious modes of expression, and in glowing
yet well-selected language, has pictured here, with the
enduring colours of practiced talent, the most striking
occurrences of the march, the battle, and the victory.
A few years ago, every literary enthusiast ran wild after
Macaulay's well-struck lays, and, during the fashionable
mania of the moment, they were lauded to the skies.
In these ballads of the war, there is a good deal of the
spirit and fervour, with far more than the fire of
Macaulay, which will serve to carry them down the
stream of time as proper accompaniments and fit illus-
trations of the masterly details of the Times corres-
pondent.
Were we to make a selection from amongst these
" Lays," while from their general excellence it would
turn out to be rather a difficult task, still we should nOt
have to hesitate for any time. The Requiem of the Brave
is, perhaps, of the entire, the universal favourite. It is
actually saturated with all the pathos and feeling of
genuine inspiration. Moreover, it contains a series of
pictures which have been thrown off with as much
artistic skill in the execution as there is real bardic
spirit in the conception. But this preference can be
only, at best, a mere matter of personal taste, where all
the ballads are, more or less, imbued with the divine
essence of true poetry. There are amongst these illus-
trations„ the high-born dame—the village maiden—the
swarthy smith—the silver-haired sire—the gallant and
glowing boy—together with the fisher by the St. Law-
rence, and the emigrant beside the Pacific, which, while
they thrill the soul to its very depths, by the magic
charms of the verse, create for the mind's eye portraitures
which, perhaps, are even more vivid ani brilliant than
the ordinary warm and breathing realities of life.

CHEAP TRIPS TO THE CRIMEA

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—Allow me through the medium of your valuable
paper to call the attention of ship owners to the
propriety of establishing cheap trips to the Crimea, for
now that peace is concluded, I am sure that hundreds of
persons would avail themselves of them. A ruined city
is a sight many generations past have not seen, and per-
haps generations to come may not have the opportunity
(God grant they ma 3 not), so let me impress on them, if
cheap trips are established, to be as ecomieal as possible
in their charges :consistant with providing the best
of everything. A SUBSCIBER.
