1L AIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th Juno, 1847.
"SlB,—having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Fills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was seffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United

AN EAGLE CAPTURED.—A full grown eagle was
captured in Glenenarkie, Laggan, on Saturday morning,
the 3d inst., by Peter Grant, gamekeeper. On the day
preceding he had seen the eagle, and be imps( diately
to work with his traps to catch her. Early on the fol-
lowing morning ho was lucky enough to meet with the
noble bird within three miles of the place where the
traps had been set. She sat down to rest, and before she
was able to rise again he had hold of her, and after a
sharp struggle, secured her in good condition, without a
bone being broken. The bird is said to be full grown,
and of very large size.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the C. lonia].
offioe from the Lord high Commissioner of thJ lonian
Islands,

At the Southwark Police court Mr. WBeckett, who
sat for Mr. Seeker, was engaged nearly the whole of
yesterday in hearing complaints from Vie parish
authorities and other parties, respecting the stages
erected in front of Horemongerlane Gaol, and the
great nuisance they caused to the inhabitants. The
clerks to the Commissioners: of Pavements for the
Borough and Dover-road districts were in attendance
with the respective surveyors.
The Clerk informed the magistrate that many of
the inhabitants of that part of liersemonger-lane
narly opposite the gaol had erected stages with scaffold
poles in their gardens for the purpose of letting scats.
to the public to view the awful spectacle. They were
erected in such a slender way, that unless they we.ze
ordered to be pulled down, the sacrifice of human life
must be great. die therefore called for the magistrt.te's
interference itr the purpose of removing those disgust.
ing nuisances.

tbir. i'Beckett—Have you any local Act to prevent
such erections? Cleik—There is a clause in our
local Act that no person shall put up a hoarding or
scaffolding of any kind except for the purpose of
making an enclosure for manufacturing mortar and
repairing a building, and that licence shall be obtained
from the official referees for that purpose. Parties
making such erections and not obtaining the required
licence, were liable to a penalty of 10s. a day until
such be pulled down.
Mr. a'Beckett, after examining the Act of Parlia-
ment, raid he considered the surveyor or official
referee had not power to
_license such buildings as
those complained of. The Act limited their powers,
and he considered that the Commissioners could at
once order the removal of the erections.

The Clerk to the CommissiWneWSiad, that he was
of the same opinion as the magistrate. If the parties
could get over the nuisance by the penalty, the pay-
ing 10s. a day would be a mere nothing to them. He,
however, was of opinion' that unless the stages wore
instantly removed, several lives would be sacrificed.
Mr. '.'Beckett said, that on further looking into
their Act of Parliament, he considered that the com-
missioners, had full power to remove the nuisances.
The Act stated that no building should be erected
on private property. for exhibitions, &c., unless the
owner thereof of aliberice.

Mr. Porter, the surveyor, informed the magistrate
that the parties who erected them were liable to a
penalty of 2001. unless they obtained a certificate
that the buildings were safe. He had examined the
erections, and was satisfied that they were not safe.
Superintendent Haynes stated that a staging had
been erected over the skittle-shed at the side of Swan-
street, next to the Masons' Arms, for the accommoda-
tion of the richer classes. It was very secure, but
the poles rested on the pavement and caused an ob-
struction. He also considered that unless they were
removed from the pavement parties would climb up
and lose their lives.

Mr. Porter said there was a clause in the local
Act which met that case. It was an obstruction in
the public footpath, and the magistrates had power
to order its removal ; but he understood the party
who erected it had obtained a licence from one of the
referees.

The referee stated that he certainly gave a licence,
but he did not know for what purpose the scaffording
was to be erected. It was obtained under the pretence
of repairing buildings.
The Clerk to the Commissioners pointed out the
79th clause of the Act, which gave the magistrate
power to order all obstructions to be seized, such as
timber, wood, &c.
Mr. a'Beckett said it was wonderful that the official
referee did not suspect what the erection was for
when he gave his licence. He might have suspected
that it was to accommodate people to witness the
execution.

Mr. Porter said that Mr. Monk, the landlord of the
public-house, had let the skittle area to a Mr. Chapple,
thereby shifting the responsibility off his shoulders. '
Mr. XBeckett said it was desirable that the nuisance
should be instantly removed. The Commissioners of
the Pavements had power to remove them, and in
performing that duty they could have the assistance
of the police.

Superintendent Haynes informed the magistrate
that he had given all the parties notice under the
New Building Act; which specified, that before any
building of a temporary kind should be erected for
the purpose of accommodating parties to witness a
procession or exhibition of any kind, they must have
a certificate from the official referee. He found on
inquiry that such was not the case, and that they
were so slightly put up that great danger was to be
apprehended from them.
Mr. A'Beckett said it was a very important point
for him to decide, but after mature consideration, he
was of opinion that the New Building Act could be
put in force. He would therefore recommend the
authorities to :serve notices on the owners of those
buildings, and inform them that unless they imme-
diately pulled them down they would be fined 200/.
He thought the parties would soon clear the grounds
of such disgusting erections. _

The surveyors, with Mr. Superintendent Haynes,
left the court with a number of officers to see to the
removal of the causes of complaint.
The missing crowbar, about which so much has
been said, has at length been found, and there is very
little doubt, from the appearance which it displayed,
that it was the instrument by which O'Connor's death
was finally effected, for a censidereble quantity of
hair was adhering to it, and the weapon was much
stained with blood. Manning's statement that the
crowbar would be found at a railway station turns
out to be perfectly correct, for the instrument was
discovered yesterday at the Lewes station. It seems
that information respecting the crowbar had been
conveyed to the London bridge station, whereupon
Mr. Weatherhead, one of the principal clerks, imme-
diately proceeded to Brighton and instituted au
inquiry, the result of which was that a parcel had
been laying at the Lewes station for scme consider.
able time, addressed to " Mrs. Smith, Lewes," and
had been put aside amongst the things which are
expected to be called for. It was carefully wrapped in
brown paper, and when Mr. Weatherhead opened it he
discovered the identical crowbar which had been used
for the completion of the murder of O'Connor.
Mr. Weatherhead left Brighton yesterday evening
fur London, with the crowbar in his possession.

The vicinity of llorsernonger-lace prison and all
the streets in the neighbourhood presented a very
extraordinary scene yesterday. At an early hour in
the morning crowds of spectators from all parts of
the metropolis began to assemble in the locality, and
before noon upwards of 10,000 persons had congre-
gated in front of and near to the gaol. The " morbid
curiosity" which had attracted them found little
however, wherewith to gratify itsulf until after twelve
o'clock, when the black timbers formiag the dismal
apparatus of death became visible on the summit of
the prison roof. Then every eye was turned in one
direction, and many were the speculations passing
current among the crowd as to the probable result of
the awful scene to which these preparations were the
prelude.

A number of workmen were employed at an early
hour in erecting strong barricades along the front of
the prison, leaving a space of about 12 feet to be kept
clear for the officers on duty. Barricades were also
t'lrown up at short int.rvals across the main thorough-
fare, and in several of the streets leading thereto, in
order to lessen the pressure of the crowd and prevent
the occurrence of accident. In consequence of an
application to the Commissioners of Pavements for
the district, a number of officers under that body,
attended by a detachment of police-constables, pro-
ceeded yesterday morning to inspect the various scaf
folds and temporary seats erected in the neighbour-
hood. This was done with a view to their removal
in all cases where the slightest encroachment
had been made on the public way. In
the instance of a gallery erected in the
rear of the Masons' Arms public-house, the support-
ing posts had been placed upon the pavement in
Swan-street. The landlord of the house was imme-
diately ordered to remove the obstruction, which was
done after considerable labour and difficulty. A
similar nuisance was removed in front of the Albion
Tavern, and two or three other objectionable erections
in progress were stopped. In other cases, where
parties had built up seats on their own private but.
unenclosed 6round, formal notices were given that it
not removed within twelve hours they would be pro-
ceeded against for the penalty incurred, amounting in
each case to 2001. In two cases the parties refused to
1
accede to the order made, and they will have to abide
the consequences. It appears that, by the Gaol Act,
the erection of scaffolding ef any kind within view of
i the prison is prohibited ; but the Act contains a clause
rendering it necessary to give fourteen days' notice to
parties otlending. Unfortunately, in the present in-
stance, this was riot done, and the Act is therefore a
nullity. . _

The sale and hire of seats was carried on with great
activity throughout the whole of yesterday by thy
occupants of the houses in W'inter•ttrrace, a row of
small tenements facing the gaol. The prices rose as
the demand increased, and during the afternoon large
premiums wereoffered for places in favourable sit ua-
ti ins overlooking the gallows. Mr. Chadwick is the
owner of this property, and through his agcnt he has
informed the tenantry that he will not allow any
scaffolding or seats to be thrown up on the roofs of the

ifs
.
seen placed to afford the means of access to parties 4 At. 4 *NI
who may v.-ish to occupy places on the roof. The sya•
tematic and business• like manner in which the whole
affair is carried on by these Winter-terrace house•
holders is most repulsive to all good feeling. On
seeking accommodation the applicant is informed in
glowing terms of the advantages each particular point
of view possesses—" If you take a place here, sir, you
will see the convicts come out there, and walk acrose
the roof to the scaffold, and the hangman will draw
the bolt immediately opposite you. In these and
similar terms do the several housewives of the neigh-
bourhood descant on their respeetivo attractiun, and
ply their filthy and self imposed office; and when the
bargain is closed, a printed ticket—yes, reader, a
printed ticket—is furnished to the curious in death-
struggles in the following form :
" Admit. the Bearer
To one Front Scat
At Mr.
No. Winter-terrace.
Paid ,E 1 0 0."
A meeting of the visiting justices was held at the
gaol at ten o cicck yesterday, in order to make the
final arrangements for the execution. Mr. Keane,
the governor of the gaol, was present, and explained
to the magistrates the steps he had taken, all of which
were arproved. The erection of the saffold was
ordered to be commenced at once, and all the neces-
sary preparations were directed to be completed before
nightfall. At the meeting it was resolved to apply
for a very large additional force of police, several of
the justices expressing an opinion that, from the ex-
citement at that time prevailing outside the walls of
the prison, unless a very strong body of officers were
in attendance, great mischief, and probably some loss
of life, would take place this morning. Mr. Super-
intendent Haynes, of the M division, was sent for
soon afterwards, and remained in consultation with the
magistrates for some time.
The " drop" was finally completed before four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and stood out in bold
relief, an awful symbol of retributive justice. The
noise of its erection must have been plainly heard by
the female convict, whose cell is situated almost
opposite, and we may add that it was found absolutely
necessary to barricade the windows of her apartment,
in order to prevent the possibility of her seeing the
men at work.

Thta Reverend Chaplain had several interviews
with the convicts yesterday. Manning is stated to
be perfectly resigned to his fate, and he says his only
regret is that his wife t.hould be so hardened and appear
determined to die with a lie in her mouth. The female
culprit, on the contrary, is greatly excited at her im-
pending doom. She ret uses all spiritual consolation, but
has written several letters, which she desires shall be
forwarded to her friends. I❑ one of them, addressed
to her guardian, as she calls him, a French avocat of
some eminence, she declares that " she has been
murdered by her husband's falsehoods—that if she
had been an English woman she would not have been
convicted—that she is going like a lamb to the
shambles, and she implores that foreigners generally
will arise and avenge her death."
Mr. Abbott, the Under-Sheriff of Surrey, accom-
panied by Mr. Keane, proceeded to the Home Otlice
at five o'clock last evening, for final instructions,
when they were informed that the law must inevitably
take its course on both culprits.
At eight o'clock last evening the neighbourhood of
the prison was densely crowded by persons who had
evidently taken up their position for the night to await
the dreadful exhibition.

LIVES OF TUE PRINCESSES OF ENGLAND FROM
THE NORMAN CONQUEST.—A Hew work is announced
under the above title, from the pen of Mrs. Everett
Green, the editor of the " Letters of Royal and Illus-
trious Ladies," which is likely to prove of great histo-
rical interest. Regal biographies (says the prospectus)
unfolding the domestic lives of those who are usually
only seen through the veil of stately ceremonial, are
always perused with interest, particularly if their
subjects have been comparatively unknown. The pre-
sent series of memoirs comprises only one individual—
Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, daughter of James I.—
of whom a biography has hitherto been published ; in-
deed, little more is generally known of the English
Princesses than their names and marriages. To bring
to light from the obscurity in which they have so long
been involved the private as well as public lives of these
illustrious ladies, is the object of the present work. The
biographies embrace the most stirring periods of English
history, and as the marriages of these regal 'edits
carried them into foreign lands, the reader will be in-
troduced into almost every Court of Europe.
TIIE IRON TRADE.—In the early part of the fort-
night, the disposition noticed in our last account of this
trade considerably increased, and purchases of bar iron
were known to be made at 5/. 10s., with usual discounts
for cash payments; but during the last week a better
feeling has again prevailed, induced in some degree,
perhaps, by the returns of the Board of Trade, which
show a large increase of exports for the month of Oct.
in wrought iron, as well as in all the various hardware
manufactures of our district. This is, however, not sup-
ported by any accumulation of orders here, or any
prospect of immediate demand ; while the Liverpool
market is stated to be in a very languishing condition,
and the price of Welsh iron unsteady. Sc6tch iron is
also said to be rather receding, with the make
considerably beyond the demand. It is, however, still
a matter of speculation what course events may
take; whether the lost ground will be recovered,
or what may be the result of another week,
or another month. Under these circumstances little
business is doing, both buyers and sellers being unwil-
ling to enter into extensive engagements. Good pigs
are more in request, and rule comparatively higher than
the prices of manufactured iron Lava kith, rto been
supposed to warrant. Most of the blast furnaces that
were put to stand (luring the disputes with the workmen
are still inactive; these are chiefly situated in the neigh-
bourhood of Dudley, where the first makes of iron are
produced. The cost of materials, also, especially coals,
continues heavy, and the substitution of cheaper pigs,
the produce of other localities, which has been largely
att( mpted by some of our iron manufacturers, seems to
have failed. Hence it is probable that the best qualities
of South Staflordshite pig iron will not be obtained at
much lower rates during the winter. Indeed, it is ge-
nerally cousidered that we have already reached the
minimum at which iron can be product d in Statlordshire,
and that unless some unforeseen opportunity 'or improve-
meet should shortly be presented, a large amount of
capital will he withdrawn for more profitable, or at least
for more secure investment.—.Birniingkern Gazette.
A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—On Wednesday last a
young gentleman, walking on the road towards Strath-
crick, was suddenly attacked by a white bull, which was
standing close to the road, and in a park where there
was no knee. The young gentleman made the best pos-
sible use of his heels, but the bull was making fast upon
him, and v.as only a few yards distant when, greatly to
the consternation of the young fellow, a second bull
made his appearance from another fenceless park on the
opposite side of the road, and came dashing forward in
a threatening manner. Contrary to the expectation of
the breathless fugitive, who expected to be annihilated
between them, the second bull proved his friend, and
made a pitch at the white bull, stopping his furious
career. A sort of challenge followed, and, after select-
ing their ground, a regular battle took place between
the bulls, which lasted until several men came up armed
ith stones anal sticks, and, with the assistance of dogs,
at last got niacin driven off. Had it not been for the
fortunate circumstance of the other bull coming up the
young gentleman would certainly have suffered some
injury. Had the person attacked been elderly or infirm,
loss of life would have been the result. A woman, who
was fallowing behind, had also a nvrrow escape—lnver-

ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—The whole of the
companies of this branch of the Ordnance service at
head-quarters at Weolwich assembled on the parade
ground of their barracks on Saturday last, at ten o'clock
A St., in light marching order, and proceeded to the
Common, where they went through all the exercises and
evolutions, of a field day, under the command of Bligo;de
Major Ni\' Opole, with Captain and Adjutant Ross. The
companies al Woolwich contain a numb, r of fine young
men trui and drilled to the duties of a soldier, and
yet they 4:e well qunlitied, frem the knowledge of the
prottsslons they had previously followed, to prove
valuatlc auxiliaries to an army during a campaign, and
in the construction of works for deft nee or aggression
during wariest,. Tha companies of the Royal Sappers
and Miners at Woolwich have great facilities for irn-
provirg their mental
.and scientific knowledge, us Ili( y
have an excellent library, and have already formed 0 e
nucleus of a must urn, which bids lair to excel nay yet
esta'llished in particular points. The Suppers have
greater advantage than any other corps, small detach-
ments being t mployed in the Ordnance surveys sod
other works at home and in almost every habitable part
of the globe. The collection of woods in the Royal
Sappers and Miners' museum at Woolwich is of a supe-
rior description, wed the notes of their intrinsic value
and the uses to which they are applied are very valuable.
STRAWBERRIES IN WINTER.— Mr. S. Jinkins, of
Devonshire-villa, Pennycomequick, has, during the past
week, picked a large quantil of fine strawberi iea fr. in
his garden, and it is probable further supplies of this
fruit will be obtained.7—Devonpor Telegraph.
