ANO THER Proof of the extraordinary effects of
BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.

" To Mr. Prod, 229, Strand.
• " 8, New Inn-passage, New Inn, London.
" Sir,—l feel pleasure in acknowledging the essential benefit I
have derived from your Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Fills, which
relieved me from a most violent attack of Rheumatic Gout, that
had rendered me helpless for eight weeks. I have been frequently
subject to such attacks, which have confined me on each occasion
for many months, and never found relief from any other medicine.
I shall recommend them to every one I know under similar dis-
tressing circumstances ; and am, Sir, gratefully obliged, your obe-
dient servant,

" May 20. 1835. " J. HAMILTON."
These Pills are taken without the least care or attention, by
either sex, young or old, and have the peculiar property of entirely
removing the disease without debilitating the frame, which is uni-
versally left in a stronger and better state than before the malady
commenced. And there is another most important effect belonging
to this medicine—that it prevents the disease flying to the brain.
stomach, or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London; and by his ap-
pointment, by all respectable Medicine Venders in the kingdom.
Price 2s. 9d. per Box.—Ask for Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills;
and sec that the signature of " Thomas Prout" is on the outside o
the wrapper.

LISCENSED VICTUALLERS'

SCHOOL.

Yesterday afternoon Lord Viscount Melbourne went
through the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the
new Licensed Victuallers' School, about to be erected in
Kennington-lane. His Majesty is the patron of the cha•
rity, and it was by his direction that the noble Premier
officiated on the occasion. A sort of amphitheatre hild
been constructed around the spot where the ceremony took
place, and the temporary galleries, which were covered by
an awning, were filled by ladies. The Noble Viscount was
escorted from the Horns Tavern by a numerous procession,
and his arrival in the arena was hailed with considerable
applause. He was accompanied by Lord Nugent, Mr.
C. T. D'Eyncourt, M.P.; Dr. Lushington, M.P. ; Mr.
Wakley, M.P. ; Mr. Hawes, M.P. ; Mr. H. Barclay,
M.P. ; and several other gentlemen interested in the pros-
perity of the charity. " God save the King" havinc, been
played by the band of the Coldstream Guards, whichb was
in attendance, the children of the school entered, and sang
with great effect an anthem which had been prepared for
the occasion, after which the senior boy delivered an ap-
propriate poetic address (written by the Secretary, Mr.
J. T. Blake).
Lord MELBOURNE concluded the ceremony by address-
ing the company. He regretted that indisposition, and the
weighty affairs in which he was engaged, would prevent
him from taking any further part in the proceedings of the
day, and uttered a fervent hope that the charity might be
as prosperous as its most anxious friends could desire. He
assured them that his Majesty, the Patron of the School,
was most anxious for its success.—(Cheers.) He thanked
the company for the kind and flattering reception which
they had given to him whilst thus executing the pleasure of
his Sovereign, and concluded by observing that he supposed
the reason why the people confided in the present Ministers
of the Crown, was because they gave indications of a dis-
position to confide in the people.—(Cheers.)
The meeting then separated, and the friends of the Cha-
rity afterwards dined together at the Horns Tavern, when
Mr. Charles Tennyson D'Eyncourt took the Chair.

A dreadful accident occurred about three o'clock
yesterday afternoon, in Regent-street, to a young gentle-
man about 12 years of age, named Tyrrell. The unfor-
tunate youth had been left by his brother in charge of a
four wheeled chaise in the Quadrant, while he went to exe-
cute some business in the neighbourhood. He had been
absent but a short time when the horse, a spirited animal,
suddenly started off at full speed, and the youth not having
strength to check him, he continued his furious career, until
he arrived opposte the shop of Messrs. Gill and. Johnson,
hatters, at the corner of Vigo street, when he suddenly
turned and bolted into the shop window. The youth, by
the violence of the concussion, was thrown out of the
chaise, and fell with, dreadful violence upon the pavement
in front of the shop. lie was instantly picked up in a
senseless state, and carried into the shop, where a surgeon
attenb.d him, who found that his arm was broken and his
body most dreadfully bruised. The damage done to the
shop window of Messrs. Gill and Johnson is also con-
_
, siderahle.

FLORICULTURAL IMPOSTORS.-Our neighbours
the French ever and anon make an experimental tour to
this country with a cargo of nominal rarities for our flower
amateurs. r Last spring an elderly man, with a youth who
spoke broken English for an interpreter, visited Notting-
ham, Leicester, and Birmingham, with yellow moss roses,
black moss roses, blue moss roses, sweet-scented dahlias,
yellow camellias, yellow lilacs,, and other articles with names
equally tempting. Now it is well known among florists,
that a genuine black moss rose or a yellow' camellia would,
be invaluable, .consequently these most alluring names
tempted many .of the neighbouring gentry to become pur-
chasers at prices ; but last summer, when the plants
vegetated and showed their characters, the roses proved
brambles and briars, and the yellow camellia (to all appear-
ance, as ft has not yet bloomed) the common single red
camellia. Some adventurers of this description sold scarlet
and dark-red laburnums (these proved to be common yellow

laburnums) by auction !it the Egyptian

and at the Mart, last spring, and realised such high prices,
