CAMERON'S GOUT SPECIFIC
An Effectual and Speedy Remedy for the Gout, Rheu-
matiqn, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia. This invaluable
Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no
parallel. Instances have been known, in which sufferers have
been confined to their apartments, hand and foot, writhing
under the most intense agony, whose sufferings, to the asto-
nishment of their friends, have been wholly removed in less
than 24 hours after taking the above medicine, and themselves
rendered able to resume their avocations. Indeed, the effect
has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy
a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence,
challenges the medical world to rroduce a medicine equal to
it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the
human frame it adds an a,;reeable impetus ; to the system
goner Ally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and
male or female may take it to equal advantage. A dose of
the above medicine taken about once a month operates most
effectually in preventing a return of the complain,. Pri,e

NEW YORK, MAY 4.
A heavy storm has delayed operations in Virginia
for a day or two past, but the news of a great
battle is daily expected. All reliable information
thus far received concerning General Lee's move-
ments indicates that he will not fall back to.
wards Richmond, but will offer battle on the
Rapidan, or possibly assume the offensive. His
troops are being concentrated at Orange Court-
house. A 'considerable rebel force is at Fredericks-
burg, throwing up earthworks on the heights.
One division of Longstreet's army is said to be at
Honour Court-house in reserve. All accounts agree
in admitting the recent heavy reinforcements re-
ceived by General Lee. His army is believed to
number at least one hundred thousand men. He
is said to have twenty-two thousand effective
cavalry.

The rear of Beauregard's army passed through
Petersburg on the 30th ult., according to rebel

accounts. The town of Madison Court-house has

been burned ,by the Federal troops. The reason
assigned is that a body of rebels took refuge in the
place, and fired upon Union troops from the houses.
A. Federal cavalry force encountered a email body
of Mosby's guerillas near Upperville, and, after a
brisk fight, captured 20 of them.
The army of the Potomac is represented to be
larger than General Lee's, and is excellent fighting
condition.

Southern papers say that a battle near Chatta-
nooga is near at hand. Johnston's force is said to
be 65,000. lie was expectin; to be joined by a
portion of troops under Forrest, who is reported to
have received large additions to his force in Ken-

A disastrous fire
Louisiana state that the
army of General Banks has fallen baca: to Alexan-
dria, closely followed by the rebels under General
Kirby Smith. All the Federal transports and gun-
boats, with the exception of the Eastport, had
reached the falls at Alexandria.
A rebel cavalry force under Van Zandt had ap-
peared at n
abeneyville, 19 miles below Alexandria.
The rebels are also reported to have a large cavalry
force near Baton Rouge.
Rebel accounts claim that Kirby Smith captured
in the recent battles in Louisiana 2,500 prisoners,
35 pieces of artillery, and 200 waggons.
A Cairo despatch states that the forces in Ala.
kansas under Generals Steel 3 and, Thayer had
attacked the rebels near Prairie de Anna and driven
them towards Washington, Arkansas, General
Steele then turned end marched rapidly towards
Camden, which point had been strongly fortified by
the rebels,',but subsequently abandoned, General
Price commanding the rebel forces, seeing General
Steels's intention, attempted to reach Camden before
him, but in this he was unsuccessful. On the 17th
General Steele's army was in Camden, but whether
acting on the defensive, or purposing another ad-
vance, is net stated. jk Mobile despatchaated
April 20, says :--.“ The Federals under Steele are
surrounded on the Little Missouri, Arkansas, and
waiting for reinforcements."
The U. S. gunboat Petrel was boarded and cap-
tured on the 23d ult., near Yazoo City, by some of
Wirt Adams's rebel cavalry. The force under
General Adams is esteltnated at between 3,000 and
5,000. The rebels make desperate attacks upon
all Federal boats passing in the Mississippi river,
and the navigation of that stream, except by iron--
clads, is deemed very hazardous.
Two hundred rebel cavalry under Colonel Powers
dashed into Port ,Hudson recently and captured
one gun and 19 prisoners, killing and wounding
about 90.

no cavilling. We have the men, and we could not
have had them without tha measure. And now let any
Union man who complains of the measure test him.-
self by writing down in one line that he is in
favour of supporting the rebellion by force of arms,
and in the next that he is in favour of teking these
130,000 men from the Union side and placing them
where they would be but fir the measure he con-
demns. If he cannot face his cause so stated, it is
only because he cannot face the truth, I add a
word which was not in the verbal conversation. In
telling this tale I attempt no compliment to my
own sagacity. I claim net to have controlled
events, but confess plainly that events have con-
tolled me. Now, at the end of threz.N, years' struggle
the nation's position
.is not what either party or
any man devised or expected. God alone can claim
it. 'Whether it is tending seams plain. If God
now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills
also that we of the Nortb, as well as you of the
South, shall pay fairly for the complicity in that
wrong, impartial history will find therein new
cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness
of'God.--Yours, truly,

A. LINCOLN,

The great banking-hot; of Coutts and Co. arose
under circumstances not less striking than those
connected with the history of Jones, Loyd, and Co.
The father of Mr. Coutts was a merchant at Edin-
burgh who had four sons, the two youngest of
whom, James and Thomas, were brought up in the
paternal counting-house. James, at the age of
twenty-five, came to London, and first settled in
St. Mary Axe as a Scotch merchant, from which
business, however, he subsequently retired to be-
come a banker. He took a house in the Strand,
the same in which the firm still exists; and he was
joined here, some years after, by his brother Thomas
as a partner—the business being carried on under
the name of James and Thomas Coutts. James Coutts
died early, and Thomas was then left sole pro-
prietor of the bank. His high integrity, joined to
a very enterprising spirit, soon gained him many
friends, and made him remarkably successful in his
business. A characteristic instance both of his
shrewdness and enterprise is given by Mr. Lawson,
in his " History of Banking." In the early part of his
career Mr. Coutts, anxious to secure the eordisl co-
operation of the heads of the various banking
houses in London, was in the habit of frequently
inviting them to dinner. On one of these occasions
the manager of a City bank, in retailing the news
of the day, accidentally remarked that a certain
nobleman had applied to his firm for the loan of
£30,000 and had been refused. Mr. Coutts listened
and said nothing; but the moment his guests had
retired, about ten o'clock in the evening, he started
off to the house of the nobleman mentioned and
requested the honour of an interview with his lord-
ship the next day. On the following morning the
nobleman called at the bank. Mr. Coutts received
him with the greatest politeness, and, taking 30
one-thousand pound notes from a drawer, presented
them to his lordship. The latter, very agreeably
surprised, exclaimed—" But what security am I to
give you ?" " I shall be satisfied with your lord-
ship's note of hand," was the reply. The I 0 U was
instantly given, with the remark, " I find I shall
only require for the present £10,000; I therefore
return you £20,000, with which you will be
pleased to open an account in my name." The
generous—or, as it may more truly be called,
exceedingly well ealeulatcd—act of Mr. Coutts was
not lost upon the nobleman, who, in addition to
paying in within a few mouths £200,000 to his ae.
count, the produce of the sale of an estate, nem-
mendid several high personages to patronise the
bank in the Strand. Among the new clients who
did so patronise it was King George 111.
Mr. Coutts had not only many friends bat real
admirers among the nobility, and was an object of
attraction to not a few designing matrons, who
would have been but tco happy to marry their
noble but portionless daughter to the rich
banker. These aristocratic matrimonial specula-
tions were somewhat rudely dispelled by the choice
which Mr.:Coutts made of a wife, in the person of
Elizabeth Starkey, a domestic in his brother's
service. The union was productive, it is said, of great
happiness to the banker; and, though children of a
servant, his three daughters married three noble-
men—namely, the Marquis of Bute, the Earl of
Guildford, and the celebrated Sir Francis Bur-
dett. After the death of his first wife Mr. Coutts
gave his hand to Miss Mellon, are actress. On this
second marriage, both Mr. and Mrs. Coutts were
made the constant subjects of unworthy ridicule,
which, however, had no other effect than that of
strengthening the confidence of the husband in
his wife. This confidence was displayed in a
remarkable tuanner in the last will and testament
of Mr. Coutts. By this,will he left the whole of his for-
tune,amounting to above £900,000, to his widow, for
her sole use and benefit, and at her absolute disposal
without the deduction of a single legacy to any
person. Mrs Coutts subsequently married the Duke
of St. Albans ; but under her marriage settlement
wisely reserved to herself the whole control of the
immense fortune left to her by her first husband.
Oa her death she bequeathed the vast property to
the favourite grand-daughter of Mr Coutts, Miss
Angela Burdett—the estimable and beneficent lady,
founder of so many churches and schools, who is
now well known as Miss Angela Burdett Coutts.
Miss A. B. Coutts continues to be the principal
proprietor of the old bank in the Strand, the bnsi•
ness being conducted for her by trustees, under the
old style of Coutts and Co.—. Railway News.

The Princess of Wales wore a rich black silk train
trimmed with a deep border of crape and jet; a
petticoat of black silk covered with bouffants and
ruches of crape, and ornamented with jet; head-
dress a tiara of jet, with black feathers and tulle
veil ; ornaments jet. Her Royal Highness also
wore the Victoria and Albert badge, and the insignia
of the order of Isabella of Portugal.
Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of Meek-
lanburg-Strelitz wore a train of rich black silk
trimmed with black lace, and a white petticoat
trimmed with satin ribbon and black lace; heed-

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.—CoIoneI Raczkow-
ski, one of the most idefatigablo chiefs of the
Polish insurrection, who quitted Paris in February, 1863,
to take part in the events then taking place in Poland, and
who remained there after that period, and was present at
various actions fought with the Russians, has arrived in
Paris. He is, perhaps, the only one of the insurrectionary
Chiefs who exposed his life so many hundred times without
ever having been wounded. Colonel Raczkowski is an old
officer of the Prussian army. Ho subsequently served in
the Brazilian army with the rank of captain. He had just
arrived in Paris from the Brazils when the Polish insur-
rection broke out, and he hastened to assist his countrymen
in throwing off the Muscovite yoke. General Bossah, who
fought so long and so successfully in the palatinates of San-
domir and of Cracow, has joined his famiiy at Geneva. It
appears from.the information received from various sources
that the insurrection in Poland has been completely sup-
pressed.

Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cam-
' bridge wore a black glace silk train trimmed with
ruches of silk and tulle; a petticoat of black glace
silk coy( red with tulle, richly trimmed with lace
and bows of win ribbon ; headdress a diadem of
diamonds, feathers, and silver tulle veil; stomacher,
.necklace, and earrings of diamonds.
The Prince of Waits wore the uniform of the 10th
Hussars, of which regiment his Royal Highness is
colonel, with the insignia of the Garter and the Star
of India.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL is going to give a monstre
juvenile fete next Sunday to all those children of
his age who are members of the Loan Society for Indigent
Workmen standing under his special patronage. There
will be twelve marionette theatres, two stages for jugglers,
and two great military orchestras on the spot, which has
been carefully selected in the reserved part of the Tuileries
Gardens. From 150 to 200 " marchands de coco" will
furnish the young people with all kinds of sweet drinks,
while a Lula will cater for the grown-up population.
After this monster fete a balloon will go up ; and the
journals add that whoever, before Sunday, subscribes the
annual sum of sfr. lee. will even now receive an
invitation.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM SEARLE.—It is With
great regret we announce the decease of Mr. Win.
Searle, who expired in his 49th year a few minutes before 1
o'clock on Friday morning. Well known to the public as
an excellent actor, and much esteemed by the profession,
the intelligence of his death will be received by both play-
goers and performers with deep sorrow. Mr. Wm. Searle
was born in January, 1816, and having lost both his parents
before his 14th year, he sought employment in a solicitor's
office, where he remained Iwo years. Finding his taste led
him to the stage, ho made his debut as a youth of 16 at the
Surrey,Theatre, then under Osbaldieton's management, and
the encouragement he received induced him to apply for
and obtain a situation at the Adelphi, where he played for
some time a series of small parts. After some provincial
tractice with Down in York Circuit, and Smith in the Nor.
with Circuit, he came back to town prepared to take a
higher range of parts. He joined the Strand Theatre, of
which the late W. J. Hammond was then manager, and
made his first recognised "hit" in the part of Bats in
Douglas Jerrold's " Perils of Pippins." Having remained
7 years at the Strand, ho became a prominent member of
the late George Wild's company at the Olympic, where he
stayed till 1544. Soon after he accepted the position of
stage manager of the City of London I heatre, which he
filled with credit to himself and advantage to the manage-
ment for nearly 14 years. He afterwards neemoied the post
of stage-manager at Astloy's. Mr. Searle was an admir-
able "character" actor, and in the picturesque.udrdegssienngt oo
his parts showed much of the care and artistic judgm
Mr, 0. Smith, on whose peculiar style of actingl
evidently modelled his own. Mr. Searle leaves a son, who
is also a member of the dramatic profession, and who bids
fair to achieve professional success.—Era.

KEPLER'S MONUMENT in Weilerstadt, by Di-
rector Kreling, is approaching its completion. The
reliefs will represent scenes from Kepler's life, while the
pedestal will contain, in four niches, the figures.of Coper-
nicus, Tycho de Brahe, Michael Mastlein, and Jost Burg,
the astronomical instrument maker. These figures will be
cast in bronze, and be about four feet high.
THE QUEEN, it is significantly remarked by the
Spectator, held a Court at Buckingham Palace on Wednes-
day, Her Majesty wore the blue riband and badge of the
Garter, the badges of the Victoria and Albert Order, and,
says the Court Circular, which does not make mistakes on
such points, "the Order of Queen Louise of Prussia."
NOT PAYING DEARLY FOR HIS WHISTLE—BUT
BEING WELL PAID FOR IT.—Music, it seems, has
still the charms the poet ascribed to it. Mr. Cox, son of
an English physician of Valparaiso, had been exploring
an almost unknown inland sea in Chili and the river Limeys
when the party fell into the hands of a tribe of wild In-
dians. The Cacique wanted to kill him for visiting his
dominions without permission ; but Mr. Cox Played hint
a tune on the flageolet, and the chief relented and let hint
go. Surely that Cacique must be an Arian in an in-
choate state, with tendencies which will ultimately develop
into a passport system and a love far opera. Admiral
Fitzroy, we perceive, thinks there is "rnet"ig in these
regions more valuable than Caciques, namely, three new
of
the great
f people as no
varieties of the potato.

himself
trouble of recording in full what, at a given crisis, his
to

cha-
racters might be supposed often there are
three or four whole pages entirely filled with conversation,
not
and this conversation is never dull, or forced, or epigram-
matic. Nor is it trivial. It seems to come from the
people
as if it were inevitable it should come, and yet it is all
coloured with the peculiarities of each individual, and all
seems good, sensible, apt talk in its way. When all is
excellent, one example is as good as another; but per-
haps, as a triumph over difficulties, we might select the
conversation of Lord de Guest and Johnny Eames, when
the Earl asks his young friend to meet Colonel
Dale. There really is hardly any basis for talk
at all. There is very little that any of them can say that
can be made to affect the story, and all that can cane under
this head might be easily got into a page or two. Lord de
Guest is not made to wander into subjects foreign to the
main plot, or to call up anecdotes and reminiscences, and
things of that sort. He and Johnny talk about Lily Dale,
but they talk at once so fully and so naturally that it seems
as if a real conversation were going on; while yet what
'bey ray has an interest, and we do not find ourselves get-
ting tired of their confidences.—AS'atyrday _Review.
