BLAIR'S GOUT anti RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other
hitherto offered to public notice for the cure of those painful diseases,
GOUT, RHEUMATIC GOUT, ItIII•:UMATISM, LUMBAGO, &c. is
so fully manifested by a rapidly increasing sale, and the testimony of
thousands in every rank of life, that those who arc aware of the exist.
once of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying its ef-
ticzcy, cannot truly be objects of sympathy. The testimonials of the as-
tonishing effects of this medicine are universally accompanied by the
fact, that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administration, but
that the patient without feeling the operation of the medicine, is univer-
sally left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced previous
to being afflicted with this disease; and in all cases of acute suffering,
great relief is oxperienced in a f,w. hours, and a cure is generally effected
in two or three days.

lIAPPINESS, "the gay to-morrow of the mind,"
is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering
into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive dsty
not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from
those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have
entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence
in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more cepacially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural
dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferei more
than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves,
offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of
married life arc sometimes disturbed by the suspensien of those blessings
which comentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con-
stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy Ma-
proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as
well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi.
lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable inte-
grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the sue:eine coev-

H ERNE BAY.—The Duke !—Which Duke?—
The following whimsical occurrence took place on board one
of the Herne Bay steamers, a short time since. Mr. 0.,
a gentleman of Margate, whose eccentric manners had
attracted the notice of the passengers, understood from one
of the party that the Duke of Cumberland was on board ;
whereas, it was the Duke of Cambridge. Mr. 0., a Tory
to the backbone, resolved to do honour to the cause by
some manifestation of his feeling of admiration for the head
of the Tories. He therefore stationed himself at the next
table, with half a pint of sherry before him, when, just as
his Royal Highness was discussing, with much apparent
zest, a fine cold leg of lamb, up jumped Mr. 0., and with
a buuper in his hand, proposed, in a loud voice, " Long
life to the King of Hanover !" The numerous party looked
aghast; but the Duke of Cambridge, smiling, filled his
glass, and bowing to the strange gentleman, drank his
health. Charmed by the tu banity and condesccnsion of the
supposed King of Hanover, be thought he would not be
outdone, so he got up again and proposed in the same ener-
getic tone, " Health to the Queen of Hanover and he!
family!" It wonld require the pencil of hlogarth to por-
tray the countenance of the Doke of Cambridge and his
astonished suite.—Kentish

SUSSEX -NEWSPAPERS.
vim
(From the 13righton Guardian.)
Some few weeks ago we published an extract, affecting the
Sussex newspapers, from the Neivspaper Stamp Returns made
to the House of Commons in obedience to its order dated 30th
June last ; and in so doing, we limited our extract to the first
five months of the half year which the return covered, and we
did so for two reasons,--fret, becaute the limited extract so
made presented the true state, as near as might be without
being precise, of the relative circulation of the papers,—
secondly because we did not desire to accompany the publica-
tion by explanatory remarks, disturbing the simplicity of the
return. Within the last few days however the return from
which we obtained an extract hasimen printed and circulated;
and we therefore, to prevent the,,imblic from being abused by
attempts which will be made to 'impose upon it by fallacious
numbers, now give the six months' return, with such rema.ks
as we think necessary to give.Adlertisers a full understanding
of the matter. The full return, then, is as follows ;

Return of the Number of Stamps issued by the Stamp Office,
for all Newspapers in: Great Britain and Ireland, from Ist
January, 1837, to 30th June, both days inclusive, specifying
each Newspaper by name, and the Number of Stamps-issued
each month during that period to each Newspaper.

Brighton Patriot
Establishing the fact which we announced on the 19th of
July last, "that the Brighton Guardian had attained the
largest circulation in the county," outstripping its three
seniors. The Sussex Advertiser has been in being nearly a
century, the Brighton Herald 32 years, the Brighton Gazette
rather better than 16 years, and the Guardian only 101 years;
and it has now, as a reward of its incessant toils, its admitted
industry, and its proverbial accuracy publicly acknowledged by
one of its most determined political opponents, been placed at the
head of the newspaper press of the county. This is a compli-
ment to which we are not insensible ; and as the Guardian
was the first to introduce a full-sized newspaper into Sussex,
and to 'lead the way in the improvements which have taken
place in the county in the getting-up of newspapers generally,
so we can assure the public, that none of its energies will
be relaxed by the marked favour with which the exertions of
its conductors have been honoured.
But we dare say. that some interested parties will be found
to take exception to the annual computation we have made.
Nay, we have already seen a deception attempted upon the
public by parties who claim for our Tory Cotemporary a
xearly circulation of 70,000 ; and to expose this cunning fraud
upon the advertising public is our present purpose. The de-
ceivers say—that 35,000 stamps have been issued to the
Tory journal in the six months between the Ist of January and
30th of June, that twice 35 is 70, and consequently that the cir-
culation of the Brighton Gazette is 70,000 in the year. Now
this seems very plausible ; but when the hocus pocus is ex-
plained, it will be found to be as incorrect as the idea that
" twice one and twenty and twice twenty-one" are one and the
same thing.
A moment's attentive observation of the above return will
satisfy every observer that the circulation of the Brighton
Gazette does not exceed 5,000 per calendar month ; for it will
be seen that although 10,000 stamps with its instinctive die
were issued in February, not a single stamp was issued for
it in 1:e month cf April; . whence it is clear that the 20,000
issued to it in the first three months of the year sufficed for its
four months circulation, because till the fifth mouth has com-
menced, no fresh issue was made on its account ; and we arc
strongly inclined to believe, for reasons which we will pre-
sently give that part of the first three months' issue from the
Stamp Office remained to supply at least the first week of the
fifth month. But taking the Issue as the bona fide. CONSUMP-
TION, it is clear beyond dispute that only 20,000 were used in
four months by the Brighton Gazette, and that another 5,000
issued in May supplied its wants in that month. If then not
mdre than 20,000 could be got rid of in four months, and the
next 5,000 answered all the calls for newspapers in May, can
any body doubt that the 10,000 issued in June was the supply
for two months ? In computing therefore the annual con-
sumption of the Brighton Gazette, the advertising public will
See the necessity of dividing the Juno supply between the
months of June and July; and in that case it will be, as we
have correctly stated it, 60,000, or 4,000 below the Brighton
Guardian.

But wo are not sure that it is entitled to be ranked so high.
We have already shown, taking for granted that it consumed
month by month the stamps issued for its U3O, that in four
months it could only have circulated more than 20,000 copies;
but for reasons which we will now state, we are strongly in-
clined to believe that it had not circulated the whole of the
20,000 in the four months, and that.enough remained to work
off its first publication in May. The Ist of May this year fell
on the Monday, se that the 5,000 stamps issued with its in-
stinctive die in that month could not have reached Brighton
till the 2nd. Now all persons connected with printing are
aware that paper before it is used for printing newspapers
requires to be well soaked in water for a very long time; and
we believe it is the invariable practice of our Tory contempo-
rary to wet down his stamps on the Monday, which is none
too soon. It follows, as a matter of course, that stamps not
issued from the head office in London till the Monday could
not be soaking in water in Brighton on the same day ; and as
a further necessary consequence, that the first publication of
the _Brighton Gazette in May, namely Thursday the 4th, was
supplied from the stock-in-hand issued from the Stamp Office
in the previous March !
There i 3 still another reason for supposing this to be the
and Wednesday afternoon, when the Brigh-
ease. Independently of.-the time being insufficient between

eetmrteoprgtn•ooie'pisgrietor since the institution of the instinctive
,die, would risk the penalty of printing on unstamped paper,
by delaying till the 2d of the month the receipt of the stamps
which he requires for use in the afternoon of the 3d ; and we
are therefore confirmed in the opinion, in which we have no
doubt all thinking persons will join, that in settling the circu-
lation of the Brighton Gazette at 20,000 for the first four
months of the present year, we are ranking it higher than the
absolute fact justifies. Supposing that it had only stamps
enough left from its March supply for its issue in the first week
in May, and allowing—which, when we see such tricks are
played, is scarcely justifiable—that it did consume the whole
of the 00,000 in the eighteen publications which, including
the 4th May, it has made since the commencement of the year,
we find that its actual annual circulation will be decreased to
something less than 58,000, leaving it 6,000 in the rear of the
Guardian, though it is its senior by six years.
What the motive of the proprietors of the Brighton Gazette
was in ordering a supply of 5,000 in March, when it is mani-
fest that they had the greater portion of their February supply
on hand, we shall leave others to decide ; we will only state
the fact that a Tory Member, who has since been kicked out
of the House of Commons by his constituency, moved early in
April for newspaper returns; but by some mistake the order
of the Howe was limited to the Metropolitan Press. had
the provincial issue been given at the same time, our Tory
Contemporary would have been decked in the borrowed plumes
of having had 20,000 stamps in three months ; whence an an-
nual computation of 80,000 would have been trumpeted to the
world—with what honesty and approach to truth we leave the
public to declare. Whether our Tory Contemporary received
any intimation from the Tory ex-Member for Belfast, wo
know not ; but it does seem curious that the consumption of
April should have been anticipated by the issues in February
and March ; and we fear, when the public come to remark
that the same manceuvre is repeated in June, without the
.shadow of pretext, that it will be of opinion that something
like a settled design existed to act not only dishonestly to-
wards the public, but to take a mean and dastardly advantage
of contemporaries whom these Tories dare not encounter on
even terms, and saying little for the honesty of their profes-
siona of attachment to that holy Religion which inculcates
principles of rectitude and honest dealing towards one's neigh-
bour.

The same remarks apply to the young Brighton paper. Its
first two issues lasted it four months, and 3,000 met all its
little wants in the fifth. Its last issue was clearly meant to
cover two months' demand.

Besides the journals enumerated in the above extract, there
is a thing got up and concocted between the Carlton Club
manufactory for country newspapers and certain Tories at
Lewes, which clamours to be included among the Sussex
newspapers,—a distiriction, which, when we recollect its am-
phibious character, if we may so apply the term, we cannot
award to it. But it is Tory all over ; it is redolent of the
peculiar honesty and adherence to truth which has time out
of mind characterised that political party. The thing is sent
down from London, as the cook says, ."
done on one side,"
after it has supplied some half dozen or more things of the same
genus ; and at Lewes it is then finished off. This offshoot of
the Carlton Club was first darted into this county on the 4th of
February in the present year, and tire gentlemen who blow
the trumpet at this end of the line would fai.i persuade the
world that it has already outstripped the Brig!don Gazette,
its like in politics, but its vast superior in every other
attribute that ennobles a newspaper. They would fain
have the world believe that the Tories of Sussex, for-
getting the services rendered to their cause by the
Brighton Gazette for the last sixteen years, have set
it aside in favour of a thing which, when compared with that
Gazette as a medium of county intelligeLea and as evincing
the talent of its conductors, is contemptible in the extreme.
We cannot think so meanly of the Tories; they are prover-

Bally
good masters, and would not- treat our contemporary of
the Brighton Gazette with so much ingratitude as to set his
tried advoimpy aside for a thing of yesterday's growth. Upon
the advertising public the parties will not, we are sure, im-
pose, for they, like ourselves, will be sceptical in believing that
a new publication in any part of England would at skirting
outstrip a contemporary of its own political creed not deficient
in industry and v.al, while its own pretensions are of a deci-
dedly inferior character. The thine- is too preposterous for a
moment's serious consideration, and whatever the hocus pocus
of the unscrupulous Carlton Club may with its ample funds be
able to accomplish, no man who knows anything of active life
and of the county of Sussex will believe that half the papers
taken out by the- Carlton Club party for the Sussex edition of
their paper ever comes into the county, or if they do, that they
are not sent back again to furnish the trunk-makers of the
metropolis, or applied to the more ignoble purpose of supply-
ing the domestic wants of the Conservative gang.
We have said above that the thing is Tory all over ;
this we will give one specimen, and with that coneluie :
It professes to give the extent of its circulation ; and stat-
ing the number of stamps issued to it in the five months end-
ing 30th June, adds, ." the 2,000 taken out in January for
No. 1, published 4th Feb , and coesequently are added to
the total ;" and accordingly the 2,000 are added to the full
amount of sts►nps issued in the five months and represented
as the consumption of that period. But with true Tory
honesty, the parties forget to remind those upon whom they seek
to impose that as their first publication for July (on the Ist),
was printed in London on the 301i' of June, a deduction
should be made from that month's issue to the extent of the
Ist of July's consumption. Honesty is' not however the
Tory's policy, and we see it verified in this instance ; for while
the parties in this case make no allowance for the stamps used
by them in July, they claim to crowd into tha February issue
the previous month's 2,000, thus producing an exaggerated
and false result.
