BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar

' To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1347.

"Six,—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 rills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering 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 trey 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, :ion are at perfect liberty is publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. ."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of WILSON
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
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe

pIIE 'TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
No. 8, LUDGATE-HILL. THE BEST—THE CHEAPEST.
The question is *often debated, Where is the best market to Miy the
necessaries of life.? among the more important • f which may be
enumerated tee, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as
is sure to ba the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to
decide v hat • onstitutes cheapness.

Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and
price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficult•
in judging i!s value by appearance, and families, to secure good
qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why
should this be? The importations for' several years have been re-
markably large, comprising. unusually fine selections ; the markets
have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantages
arising therefrom.

Our invariable custom Is to accommodate our prices with the mar-
ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly good
Black Tea at 3s. 4d.; very superior at 3s. Bd.; and very full and
fine flavoured at 4s. For the Finest Black Tea Imported we are
charging only ss. per pound.
Coffees are also very reasonable, notwithstanding the recent ad-
vance in prices. •We can confidently recommend good Coffee at
Is. 2d.; very good at Is. 4d. ; and very choice at is. 6d.; and Is. Bd.
per pound for the finest.

We invite a comparison of our articles and prices.

OXFORD, Nov. 15.
OXFORD ART SOCIETY.—A meeting was held by
permission of the curators, at the Taylor Building,
yesterday evening at eight o'clock, the Vice-Chan-
cellor in the chair, when a lecture on the method of
studying ancient art was given by Charles Newton,
Esq., M.A., student of Christ Church and of the
British Museum. The lecture, which was of a
highly interesting character, gave rise to an animated
discussion, in which the Vice-Chancellor, the Princi-
-pal of New inn Hall, the Rer.Vaughan Thomas, Mr.
Collins, the eminent sculptor, and others joined, relat-
ing chiefly to some valuable remains of the age of
Phidias, which Mr. Newton had detected among the
marbles in the Pomfret collection, now deposited in
the Randolph Galleries. No formal resolutions were
come to, but several gentlemen, including the Vice-
Chancellor, expressed a wish that a society for the
study of the fine arts, similar in its constitution to
that which already exists in the University far the
promotion of the study of mediaeval architecture
might be organized. The names of a committee
appointed some time ago were laid before the meeting.
It is to be regretted that a larger number of the
heads of societies were not present. Among the
senior members of the University in the room we
observed Dr. Acland, the Revs. Vaughan Thomas,
Richard Greswell, William Hayward Cox, William
Edward Buckley, Thomas Harding Newman,
Thomas Chaffers, John Hungerford Pollen, &c., &c.,
and a tolerable sprinkling of bachelors and under-
graduates.
THE NEW EXAMINATION STATUTE.—It is under-
stood that the New Examination Statute has passed
the Hebdomadal Board, and that it will be promul-
gated in convocation in the ensuing Lent Term.
DAY OF THANIOGIVING.—The Queen's proclama-
tion appointing this day for a general thanksgiving
to Almighty God, to acknowledge his great goodness
and mercy in relieving us from the sore judgment of
grievous sickness and mortality which has lately
afflicted our land, was most religiously observed
throughout the University and city. Business of all
kinds was suspended, and the various parish churches
and dissenting chapels, &c., were opened for divine
service, and at many of them collections in aid of
local charities were made. Service at some of the
churches was performed four times during the day.

UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN.
PROFESSOR SMITH'S LECTURE.

, On Monday Professor Smith delivered one of a
series of lectures on music, in the Dining hall of
Trinity College, before a select and fashionable
audience. Ile commenced by observing that the
genius of Guido had made great improvements in the
mechanical and harmonica! arrangements of music ;
and it was no less interesting than instructive to con-
sider at what period modern languages were first
applied to musical tones, and by what people. He
did not mean to speak of the airs of melodies that
came within the description of national music—such
as the old airs of Ireland or Scotland, which might
almost be considered as natural to the people of those
lands as warbling to birds—his intention was to con-
sider the subject of music as a matter of science
framed upon a complete scale and under such regu-
lations of art as successful cultivation rendered
respectable and worthy of being imitated. Each
nation had its peculiar songs—the Indian had his
war, the Italian his love song.' The learned lecturer
then alluded to the songs of Pr6vence, as sung by
the Troubadours, and to the fact that although the
Troubadours were not able to diversify notations or
mark the time in music properly, it was supposed
that they laid the germ of the future melodies of
France and Italy. The Provencal was the language
of poetry. The Princes of Provence often practised
the divine art ; and Richard the First, during the
latter end of his father's reign, passed his time prin-
cipally at the Court of Provence, learned the language
of the country, and beguiled his leisure hours with
the gay science" of poesy. The most ancient
melody, set to Provengal words, was written by a
Troubadour named Gaucelm. The subject was the
death of Richard the First; and as it was supposed to
be one of the first, if not the very first, melodies of
Provence wedded to a modern translation, it might
prove interesting to the audience. The lecturer then
played the air, which attracted much attention and
admiration, and proceeded to treat of Irish melodies.
He passed a high eulogium upon Sir John Ste-
venson, Moore, and Edward Bunting; and next
alluded to the fact that most of the Troubadours
'were practical musicians, and enumerated several
~
rench melodies to show that the French people had
been highly instrumental in the cultivation of music
and poetry. The French were still a people as es-
sentially musical and poetical as ever, although of
latter days they were not as successful in producing
as many brilliant composers as Italy; and while in
the olden time they ss ere very successful in the practice
of vocal music; they were by no means behind hand in
instrumental music or the invention of musical in-
struments, for which all periods, even to the present
time, they had been celebrated, as in the thirteenth
century—their list comprised no less than thirty dif-
ferent instruments. A piece supposed to have been per-
formed upon some of their instruments, and written
about that time, had been preserved ; and, in conclu-
sion, he would introduce it to his audience, as afford-
ing some idea of the style and character of French
instrumental music in those days.
The lecture was listened to throughout with marked
attention, and was made principally attractive by the
Provencal and French melodies by which it was
happily illustrated.— Saunders's News Letter.

CAPE or GOOD HOPE.—Letters froms,the Cape of
Good Hope have been received, via St. Helena, to the
4th of September. According to these it appears that
the Neptune, with the first batch of convicts on board,
haul not then arrived out.

THE MEXICAN MAlL.—Telegraphic advises by
way of New York convey information that the Mexi-
can steamer, due at Southampton on the 22d instant,
has through incessantly heavy gales been delayed a
week in the Gulf of Mexico. As the vessel must,
consequently, be several days behind her estimated
time in reaching England, it will be satisfactory to
parties interested to learn the cause of her detention.
The day of her arrival will, probably, be about the 28th
instant.

ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—There were 111 public
Acts passed in the late session, a'l of which, with the
exception of one, are in opt ration. The exception re-
lates to the repeal of the navigation laws, which will come
into force on the Ist of January next.
It is said that the discovery has been made in Lin-
coln that gutta percha can be used for large printing
letters, and that impressions can be obtained nearly as
clear as the impressions from metal types.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—THE SECRET OF ITEALTII..--.-
It is as necessary to preserve the balance between the
organs and their work as it is to proportion any
other means or agents to the ends for which they
exist. Put a greater strain upon a rope than it is cal-
culated to bear, or a heavier weight upon a vchiclo, and
the rope will snap and the vehicle break down. "'Tie
the last pound that breaks the camel's back." The pro-
cess by which the animal powers sink under the over-
pressure of their energies is gradual, and, to a ereat ex-
tent, imperceptible, in cases of robust constitutions, where
endurance lasts with seemingly unimpaired vigour till
nature suddenly gives wey. Be careful, therefore, of the
slight indisposition by which this secret process betrays
itself. A medicine like Cockle's Antibilious Pilla will be
found invaluable for this service.

EA DVERTISEAT ENT.]—Dreadful Wounds in a Leg
soundly cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Henry
Gray, typographer, residing at No. 6, Temple-lane, City, states
that he suffered the most excruciating pains in his leg for a
considerable time, occasioned by an accident which he unfor-
tunately met with ; two deep wounds formed in his leg in con-
sequence of it, and although he tried various lotions and oint-
ments, yet all were found entirely useless. He was then re-
commended by a friend to use some of Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which he did, and in six hours he was greatly re-
lieved, and in about eight days the wounds were soundly
healed.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's

THE QUEEN'S LETTER ON BEHALF of
the NATIONAL SOCIETY for PROMOT-
ING the EDUCATION of the POOR.
Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased
to issue the following royal letter, on learning that
the funds of the above society (including the special
fund for the mining and manufacturing districts)
are now, and have been for some months, entirely
exhausted:—
" VICTORIA R.—Most Reverend Father in God,
our right trusty and right entirely beloved councillor,
we greet you well. Whereas the president and go-
vernors of the Incorporated National Society for the
Education of the Poor in the principles of the Esta-
blished Church in England and ‘Vales, have, by their
petition, humbly represented unto us that the presi-
dent and governors of the society have now, during
a period of thirty-eight years, zealously and persever-
ingly laboured to carry into efThct the great work for
which the society was incorporated, and that they
have now expended the whole of the funds which
either through the munificence of the sovereign, or
the liberality of the public, have been placed at their
disposal for the purpose of extending and improving
education among the poorer classes; that the produce
of the collections made under the authority of the
royal letters, which for some time past have been
triennially granted on their petition, has
been mainly expended in building school-
rooms and teachers' residences, permanently
secured for the education of the children of the poor,
and in the organization and improvement of those
already erected ; that the general principles upon
which the society has conducted its operations have
received the sanction of the Legislature, as well as
the approbation of oar subjects at large; that the plan
which the society has pursued since tits foundation in
1811, of encouraging local voluntary efforts, by
granting moderate sums of money to aid in the erec-
tion of schools and teachers' houses, has been adopted
by our Government in distributing the grant voted
away by Parliament, in furtherance of national edu-
cation ; and that, with respect to the approval and I
co opertion of the people in general,-ib Willi -easeieat
to observe that the number of children attending
schools in immediate connexion and correspondence
with the society amounted, in the year 1813, to
40,484, in- 1833 to 400,830, in the year 1837 to
597,911, and in the year 1847, when the last return
was made, to 816,874, and has since proportionately
increased; while the whole number of children in
attendance at church schools is estimated at above a
million and a half; that the training institutions
maintained by the society have during the last five
years sent out 1,042 trained teachers (553 masters
and 489 mistresses) into schools in various parts of
the country ; that during the last five years the
society have expended, in aid of building,
enlarging, or otherwise improving school rooms and
teachers' residences, 139,197/. 1 ls., in 1,940 cases of
application, thereby affording accommodation for
265,542 children, at a total outlay of 767,980/. ; that
the great progress which has been made in extending
education amongst the poor renders more desirable
than ever the adoption of effective measures for its
improvement ; and that for this purpose the society
will continue to maintain its central schools for boys,
girls, and infants, and will afford support to its vari-
ous establishments for instructing and training young
persons of either sex, as well as adults, to be teachers,
and will give aid towards the expense of inspecting,
organizing, and remodelling schools, so that the
most improved methods of teaching may be speedily
and effectually spread throughout the country ; that
the great progress which has been made in extending
education among the poor renders more desirable
than ever the adoption of effective measures for its
improvement, and that for this purpose the society
will continue to maintain its central schools for boys,
girls, and infants, and will afford support to its
various establishments for instructing and training
young persons of either sex, as well as adults, to
be teachers, and will give aid towards :the expense
of inspecting, organizing, and remodelling schools,
so that the most approved methods of teaching
may be speedily wed effectually spread throughout
the country; that, as well from the rapid increase of
the population of this kingdom, as from the numerous
applications continually made to the society both for
aid towards erecting schoolrooms and for the services
of duly qualified teachers, it is evident that liberal
contributions to the society will be required, in order
to meet the demands for assistance constantly made
upon its resources, the increase of which demand is
one of the many proofs of the general feeling which
exists throughout the country, strengthened by the
late events in other nations, that it is only by pro-
viding a sound religious education for the growing
masses of the population that the social and religious
institutions of these kingdoms can he preserved :
" We, taking the premises into our Royal conside-
ration, and being always ready to give the best en-
couragement and countenance to undertakings which
tend so much to the promotion of piety and our holy
religion, direct that these our letters be directed to
the several suffragan bishops within your diocese,
&c., so that the minister in each parish do effectually
excite their parishioners to a liberal contribution, &c
the results to be paid over to the treasurer for th
time being of the said society, &c.
