ANOTHER' PROOF of the EFFICACY of
I3LAIR'S GOUT and .RHEUMATIC DILLS,
" To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
Sitt,—My Wife having been afflicted with the Gout tbr upwards of
twelve years, in the most severe manner possible, sometimes commenc.
ing in the hands, then flying into her feet and knees, from thence to her
hips and loins, generally being laid upsix or eight months in the year;
and having tried all sorts of herbs, and everything else that our friends
ri commended ; she, at last, seeing your advertisement of BLAIR'S
GOUT AN L) RHEUMATIC PILLS, resolved upon trying them,
though with little hope of their doing any good ; but I am happy to say
that they certainly had the most beneficial effect, for in the course of
twelve hours my wife was able to move about, to be dressy t, and walk.
I therefore think it my duty to acknowledge this fact, likewise to return
reit our most sincere thanks. Your's, gratefully obliged,

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 universally left in a
stronger and better state than before the malady commenced. And there
ature
is another most important effect belonging to this medicine—that it pre.
vents the disease flying to the brain, stomach, or other vital part.

The friends and subscribers to this excellent and praise-
worthy fnstittition, dined together on last Friday evening,
at Lovegrove's West India Arms 'llavern, Blackwell. Up-
wards of two hundred brethren were present from the va-
rious metropolitan lodges, besides many other guests, not
masons. The Chair was filled by Doctor Crucifix, the
Treasurer, a name well known in the masonic world, and,
par excellence, the founder of the institution. The Chair-
man was supported right and left by the President, Brother
Bell, and many distinguished brethren of the order.
After the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN proposed
the first toast—" The King, the patron of the
,craft ;" the
National Anthem followed. The other usual pasts were
given, after which
The CHAIRMAN rose and said—Gentlemen, the toast to
its
way, I now call your attention, is one which will make
way, as it ever has, to your hearts. It is the healtt. of
" Our Worshipful Grand Master His Royal Ilie;l,,aess the
Duke of Sussex ."—(Cheers.) By the
Great Architect of the Universe, he ► --..,i'j.essing of the
/-.Jas been restored to
sight, and will, I trust, before 'long, appear in person
amongst us once more, and t. ear from our lips the homage
of our hearts. Absent, or present, in sickness or in health,
heart was ever "with us.--(Cheers.) It would require
a more eloque)::, panegyrist than the humble individual who
addresses you to pourtray his virtues, and to convey to
3'°''.s• minds the adequate measure of their praise. I wish
the task had fallen to more competent hands. But, hum-
ble as I am, you will not deem me unworthy—(Hear, hear)
—and certainly to none of the many hearts which throb
around me at the mere mention of the name of his Royal
Highness shall mine yield in the warm and sincere feelings
of veneration and affection which we all entertain for our
beloved and worshipful Grand Master.—(Cheers.) If I
want words, it is a consolation that on such a theme even
the most brilliant eloquence could be dispensed with. I
shall now give you the health of our " Worshipful Grand
Master, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex."—(Loud
and protracted cheering.)
Glee—" Merrily, merrily goes the bark."
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, the next toast I have to
propose is one which every true mason will drink with
pleasure : I shall give you conjointly the " Grand Masters
of Scotland and Ireland, Lord Viscount Fincastle, and
his Grace the Duke of Leinster." With regard to the
latter, I should not be performing my duty, as Chairman
of a meeting like the present, were I to omit calling to
your recollection his services to his Masonic brethren of
these kingdoms, in his place in Parliament during the
discussion of the Irish Constabulary Bill.—(Cheers.)
Brother EDWARD MORAN, as an Irish Mason, briefly
returned thanks for the health of his Grace the Duke of
Leinster.
The Chairman next gave together the healths of " Lord
Duadas, the Pro. Grand Master," " Lord Churchhill,
the Deputy Grand Master, and all the present and past
Grand Officers."
Brother PITT then recited an address, which was from
the pen of Brother Douglas Jerrold.
The address, which was very impressively given, was fol-
lowed by loud applause.
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, the moment has now ar-
rived, when it becomes my duty, as the organ of your
wishes, to advert to the object for which we have all as-
sembled here this evening. I shall endeavour to do so to
the best of my power. Some of those whom I have the
honour to address are not masons, but they have equally
and as purely in a cause like this those feelings which do
honour to the human heart. -There is no one with a par-
ticle of those feelings who does not feel for the hapless con-
dition of the aged and unprotected man, who does not pis,y
grey hairs sinking into the grave beneath the undese,.ved
accumulation of the ills that follow in the train of dreary
poverty. Other societies have been impressed with this
sympathy—it has been a reproach to ours that until lately
we have not been so. It is true the measure of our monthly
benevolence has ever been dealt out with a liberal hand ;
but it has often been given to those who did not
really merit it., This is, too, but a transient measure of
relief, which the aged man cannot depend upon as a cer-
tainty ; it leaves him during the last remnant of his
wretched existence, a dependent pensioner, and an unsatis-
fied mendicant of the casual bounty of those amongst whom
in happier days he moved, an acquaintance and an orna-
ment. He should have a home wherein to shelter his aged
head.—( Hear.) He should not be condemned, when Lis
means and his strength have departed, to crave fre:m ad-
ventitious charity his scant and daily sustenance.
who has pursued anihonoured career amidst To him
e bounties of
our mysteries, whose life, in adherence to our laws, has
been one of practical benevolence, sr, hard, so partial, so
undeserved a fate should. 'apt arr.'ive. The tear of sorrow
which he had often, wiped away from the soft check of
orphan infancy, should not fall heavily along the furrows
which time and time's precursor, care, had made.
His d:•deiling should be the temple of peace, and
the cheerless home of penury. • and despair. But
the good work has begun.—(Cheers,) It has at length
been acknowledged, almost universally, through our order,
that an asylum for aged and decayed masons would not in-
terfere with our other charities. The aged and distressed
mason has, as I have already stated, continued irregularly
to receive relief from the fund of monthly benevolence ; but
it is one thing to give a temporary alms, and another to
afford certain and permanent relief.--(Hear, hear, hear.)
In fact, this temporary charity is in most instances no real
relief whatever. The aged man who has once enjoyed the
goods of fortune and the comforts of life is generally of
too proud a spirit to ask for bread from those with whom
he has associated in his prosperity—he suffers the ex-
treme of wretchedness and privation before he consents to
do so—then you relieve him, when relief is almost too
late--the same ordeal, heartless on the one hand, and
humiliating on the other, is again to be gone through ; it
cannot last—fresh claimants pour in, many of them un-
worthy ones—hope, too often disappointed, is succeeded by
despair—despair is followed by death, and the poor, old,
and deserving mason descends to his grave, unhonoured and
unremembered.--(Hear, hear.) Ido not appeal to your
pity—l appeal to your justice.—(Cheers.) But many ex-
cellent masons ivere afraid, and I believe there are sou
who labour under the same feeling, that such an instituti of as we contemplated would interfere with our other charities.
Almost insuperable difficulties have been thrown in its way.
One by one the greater numher have disappeared. The
remainder must be surmotlnted. Let us take the asylum
on our shoulders. and go into the Grand Lodge with it.—
(Cheers and laughter.) Let us say, " Here are our means ;
so touch have we, the old man's friends, performed ;
now, give us your assistance, even on a moderate scale,
but in any way give us assistance."--( Hear, hear.)
Well, if they do not think proper to do so, or make up their
minds that it will be interfering with other praiseworthy ob-
jects and certain resolutions to deny our request—no matter
I say—we shall work on by ourselves.—(Cheers.) And I
ask what may we not do by time and perseverance ? The
greatest works, the mightiest achievements that ever were
accomplished by human means, in every age and in every
country, had small beginnings.—(Hear, hear.) I ask you
this simple question :if every man I see here to-night gets
but the promise of support from one friend of his heart and
of benevolence, and does so every twelve months, how very
short a period may roll over 'our heads when our means shall
be completed ?—(Cheers.) The Chairman concluded by
alluding to the fate of many masons, and mentioned their
names, the morning and the prime of whose years were
spent amidst the sweets of independence and the blessings
of domestic happines', and yet the sunset of whose lives
had sunk beneath the waves of misery and sorrow. Ile
begged than, after offering them his sincere thanks forthe
P.'sopose
kind attention which they had afforded him, to
st‘ ecayed Free-
" Prosperity to the Asylum for aged and
masons."--(Loud and long-continued ar;piause.)
The CHAIRMAN next gave—` - rosperity to the Boys
and Girls' Schools."—(Cheers%)
Brother BELL, the PP:sident, then rose and called for
a full bumper to ':;ne of the most benevolent men, and
one of the best ),,lasons that ever did honour to the craft." I shall you the health of our Worthy Brother, the
]oairman, Dr. Crucifix.—(Loud cheers.)
Dr. CRUCIFIX, after having returned thanks in eloquent
terms, announced the names of many distinguished Masons
who had `promised to join the Charity.
Brother PITT then read the list of subscriptions, the total
of which was announced to be upwards of 750/.
Several toasts were subsequently given ; and the cow._
pony separated at ten o'clock, highly delighted with the, ex-
cellent enjoyment and the happy results of the event ire.

TIIE WISDOM'S IN TUE some parts
of the West of England, when a black pudding is boiling, an
old wig is much coveted to hang up the chimney as a preven-
tive against its bursting in the put.

.MONEY-MARKET.__ cis a part of the general
system of management, at the Bank, to which so much atten-
tion has latterly been. ilirected in consequence of the advance
in the rate of discon.nt, much curiosity is evinced to learn on
what footing ms.ct-ers stand with the joint-stock banks in the
country, and «: tether the entire facilities are still afforded, by
which they were originally induced to forego the issue of notes.
of their owu, and to circulate Bank of England paper only.
If they still exist, they must, as every one conversant with
the subject knows, form a very singular contradiction to
the moirey arrangements going on at head-quarters. The
agreetr.ent to which we allude was, that if certain char-
tereil. banks consented to waive their right of issuing, they
We're to be accommodated with loans from the branches of
fne Bank of England, at the rate of 2f or 3 per cent., to
the extent required for their circulation, and for a fixed
period of time—not less in any case, it is understood, than
two years. The questions that naturally present themselves
are—how such an arrangement can go without making
money comparatively cheap in the country at the same
time that the directors arc endeavouring to /make it dear
in London, which inconsistent state of things they are
left to adjust as they can ; and next, how the directors,
whatever inconvenience may arise, can
possibly, and
without a most glaring breach of faith, disencumber
themselves of these arrangements ? It is very clear that
mathey can do neither one thing nor the other; and that alous of management tm-. has been introduced b tbit;
state of things into the first banking establishment, in point of
character, in the world. There is no circumstance, we be-
lieve, of which the London merchants more complain tlia.n the
preference over them, under this arrangement, which is ob-
tained by Liverpool, Manchester, and other great trading
towns, where money is now regularly to be Obtained at a:
lower rate than in London. The state of money here, for
the causes stated yesterday, were as variable to-day as it Las
been for several days past. At the Stock-Exchange, and. on
Gfwernment securities of the best class, the utmost dif62:ulty
was found in employing it at all, and nothing could be so
placed at a higher rate than 2 per cent. For mercantile dis-
counts the current rate for good bills was about 4-1- per cent..
Some large payments are now pending, arising from the
indigo sales, which will require about 7Qii,ooo/., and the por,t-
pooed duties on tea, which will require
about 800,000/. more,but such provision has been made that they are likely to be
got over without any difficulty or ernbarrassment. A portion
of the payments falling due on the Ist of August has been
made by anticipation. Ahoy-ether there is nothing to excite
the least alarm or uneasy feeling. The new Bank arrange-
ment has not essentiall,; changed the character of the money.. market ; it has mer,ly enabled the dealers in it, who are con.
tent to keep jtl.9, within the Bank limit, to obtain hotter terms
than they w".4ld otherwise have done.—Morning Paper.
